The treasurer's accounts were audited, and other customary business gone through.

At a subsequent meeting, Dr. Clark, the President, being in the chair, after various presents of books and objects of natural history had been announced, a memoir was read by the Rev. R. Murphy, "on the Resolution of Equations of Finite Differences." Extracts were then read of letters from Sir J. Herschel to the Rev. W. Whewell, containing various meteorological observations, and especially some tending to shew, that the height of the barometer at the equator is less, by about a quarter of an inch, than it is at 20' or 30° from it. Extracts were also read of letters from C. Darwin, Esq. of Christ's College, to Professor Henslow, containing an account of the geological phenomena of some parts of the Andes.

A congregation was held, October 9th, in the Senate House, for the purpose of fixing upon a plan for the new Fitzwilliam Museum, about to be erected near St. Peter's College. According to a previously-published arrangement, each member of the Senate delivered to the Vice-Chancellor a list of the four designs (neither more nor fewer) which he preferred out of the whole number (upwards of thirty) that had been sent in. The Vice-Chancellor announced the four which had the greatest number of votes to be those of Mr. Bardwell, Mr. Basevi, Mr. Poynter, and one without name, bearing the motto, "Palmam qui meruit ferat." All the other designs were deemed to be finally excluded. Each member of the Senate then gave a single vote for one of the four, and the plan of Mr. Basevi was thus selected by an actual majority over the whole number of votes.

On the 18th the following Grace passed tho Senate:

To appoint the Vice-Chancellor, the Hon. and Rev. the Master of Magdalene College, the Provost of King's College, the Master of Downing College, the Master of Christ's College, Dr. Haviland, Professor Sedgwick, Mr. Peacock, Mr.Whewell,

Mr. Philpott, Mr. Potter, and Mr. Heaviside, a Syndicate to report to the Senate whether Mr. Basevi's design for the Fitzwilliam Museum be in conformity with the instructions given to the several architects.

At a subsequent meeting of the Syndicate appointed to report on the conformity of Mr. Basevi's design with the instructions, the following report was agreed to:-That, having conferred with Mr. Basevi, and having referred to all the instructions given to architects respecting plans for the Fitzwilliam Museum, they are of opinion that Mr. Basevi's design is in conformity with those instructions.
