5. That if the Regius Professor of Hebrew, or the Professor of Arabic, or both of them, shall decline, or be prevented from: examining, a deputy or deputies shall be appointed by a Grace of the Senate.

6. That if it shall happen at any time, that two of the offices severally constituting electors are united in the same person, the deputy for the elector in respect of one of the said offices shall be the Lord Almoner's Reader in Arabic; but if in any case the Lord Almoner's Reader shall decline the office of deputy examiner, or shall be prevented from undertaking the said office, a deputy examiner shall be appointed in his place by a Grace of the Senate.

7.-That if the Vice-Chancellor, the Regius Professor of Hebrew, the Professor of Arabic, or any two of them, shall be members of the same college, no elector shall in that case be appointed by that college according to the cycle of Proctors; but the appointment shall be made by a Grace of the Senate.

8.-That the appointment, when requisite, of an examiner or examiners by Grace of the Senate take place at the first Congregation in the Lent Term of the year, and that the examiner or exa

11.-That should it appear in any case to the majority of the electors that no one of the candidates is deserving of a Scholarship with the stipend of £30. a year, it shall be competent for them to elect one Scholar only, with the stipend of £20. a year.

12.-That in case there shall be a deficiency of deserving candidates for the two Scholarships in any year, the electors shall have power, in the second or third succeeding year, to elect additional Scholars into the vacancy, or vacancies, thus occasioned; after which time the stipends, belonging to the Scholarships which have not been filled up, shall be appropriated in the manner appointed in the next regulation.

13.-That the residue of the net annual proceeds of Mr Tyrwhitt's benefaction, not already disposed of by the third regulation, together with all accumulations which may arise under the twelfth regulation, shall form a fund to be expended in the promotion and encouragement of Hebrew Literature, at the discretion of the examiners, provided that not more than a third part of such fund be expended in any year.

14. That the Accounts of this Bequest be kept distinct from the general Accounts of the University, and be annually audited by the electors in Michaelmas Term before the first of November; and being so audited, shall be laid on the Registrary's Table in the Senate-House at the next Congregation, for the inspection of the Senate.

15. That these Regulations shall be in force until the first Congregation in Lent Term, 1842.

LUMLEY EXHIBITIONS.

THE Right Honourable ELIZABETH, Viscountess LUMLEY, by a deed bearing date October 8, 1657, directed certain Trustees therein named, to pay and allow yearly to ten poor Scholars of the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, educated in the School founded by her at Thornton, in the county of York, or in default of such, to ony other poor Scholars, not exceeding ten in number (subsequently reduced to five,) who should be nominated thereto by the respective Convocations of the said Universities for the time being; the sum of £4. a year each to be continued until they should have time to become graduates in one of the said Universities.

By an Order of the Court of Chancery, issued in the year 1820, it was directed that, in consequence of the increased rents these five Exhibitions should in future be £15. per annum each, and that the rents not called for should accumulate.
