ships."

2. That the candidates for the same be Bachelors of Arts, in the first year from their degree; and that such scholarships be tenable till the scholars attain the standing of the Masters of Arts, viz. for three years.

3. That the first elections be so arranged as to make one of them vacant yearly for ever; and for this purpose, that at the first election the persons elected be a Junior, a Middle, and a Senior Bachelor.

4. That the annual examination and election take place in the Michaelmas term after the division of the said term.

The office of Christian Advocate has become vacant by the resignation of the Rev. Hugh James Rose. The election of a Christian Advocate will take place on the first of January, 1833. Any person who has filled the office of Hulsean Lecturer is not eligible to this office.

A meeting of the Philosophical Society was held on Monday evening, the Rev. Professor Sedgwick, the president, being in the chair. Among the presents announced to the society were several pieces of fish collected by Prof. Henslow in the neighbourhood of Weymouth. Mr Whewell read a continuation of his notes on the architecture of Picardy and Normandy. After the business of the meeting, Mr. Sims gave an account of the method of graduation of astronomical instruments, by which he has divided the mural circle of eight feet diameter, recently placed in the observatory of this University, and divided in its actual place. This account was prefaced by a notice of the methods of engine dividing or derivative gradation; and of the modes of original dividing, employed by Bird, Graham, and Ramsden, previous to the one which has now superseded them, and which is the invention of Mr. Troughton. The explanation was illustrated by the exhibition of models, and of some of the apparatus and calculations which have been actually employed for the observatory circle.

The circle was brought to the observatory in the beginning of October, and Mr. Simms has since been employed (personally) in cutting the gradations after the circle was mounted on its pier, an advantage which, we believe, no other instrument has ever possessed. The observatory may now be considered as, at least, equal in instrumental power to any similar establishment in the world. Another assistant will be required as soon as the new instrument is completely in action.
