THE Pall Mall Gazette states that the Earl of Portsmouth, who is the collateral representative of Sir Isaac Newton, has offered to the University of Cambridge, through the Duke of Devonshire (Chancellor of the University), all the papers of Sir Isaac relating to scientific subjects which his lordship has inherited. Lord Portsmouth's gift is prompted by the feeling that these papers will be more fitly deposited in the library of the University of which Sir Isaac was so distinguished an ornament than in his own muniment-room.
