University sonteste geserally Waged apes theological gssetioaa, Bat that time has passed. The contest is now carried os by Liberals agaiaat Cobra vatires—by those who urged the Usivareity Commission against those who oppmed it Oa the Liberal side are rained those who smart freedom of ogiaioa oa matters both civil and emissiostioal—thcre who regard dogmatism es ea evil sad saci.tiegmatissi as a dseirshis oonsammatioa—those who is order to promote deep learning and viper of thought desire to see the professorial system more fully denier/4 and the chain filled by see who are willing to dente their lives to some special sobjerst—theme who, son scions of the cramping discipline whisk la the base of the more tutorial system, wink to see the minds of the English youth expasded sad elevated by something better than =digested kteew. ledge—those, in stun, who are auxins that more laymen shall be admitted to be teachers, and that a Luger inflames is the government of the Usinesity shall be exerted by =esti& men. Beak us the objects of the Liberal party at Oxford. Beek an the views of those who promoted the Commissios, who struggled for the abolition of all religion tests and of all restriction in the election of fellows, sad who are still struggling to maintain those principles of open competition which are the tree peisciples of every literary republic, such se the University of Ox ford ought to be. They Sr. wither High Church nor Low Church, they are the advocates of freedom of °plaice. Opposed to them are the Coessentivn and amongst them the religiose sectarian. By a singular but netted trot:akin, the High Church as well as the Low Church are ranged side by side. They lists sad fear the lay element. They desire to keep the education of the English youth in soolesintisal hands. They vehemently oppose the Professoriate. Belly practicable scheme suggested for its =densest or foe making it really effective is negatived, or some impracticable scheme is attempted to be substituted in its stead. Instead of endowing the existing Professors, theme pseudo-Reformers are vehement is favour of a new Profane of Chinese. They cling perseveringly to the old tutorial system, and being the most busy and the most summon at present, they manage to maintain their sesentissey. Beery tendency towards liberality of opinion is by them regarded with the utmost *lorry f and the steady reined of all endowment, together with a novereessing demand on every amain to sip the Article., are the lestruments by which they protect their supremacy and torment their opposents. Bath see the Oxford Conservatives, destined probably for soma time yet to maintain their intimate, but certain ere very matey years to yield to that bold spirit of inquiry which is the ruling spirit among the junior fellows and members of the Uoivenity. Has Mattirres Goveranteat has, it is stated, rmi anted tasted another expedition up the Niger. We use the word tormented, become it is only on the application at external pressure that the political sensate of the Crown ever initiate such en terprises. Their utility and character, therefore. depend more co the competency or incoopetesey of those who press than of those who are peered on them ocoesiens. Now we venture to interpose a doubt whether the Government is well advised la the moieties it is said to have adopted on this question ; and as there was a good deal of secrecy sad manage ment practised in refereoce to the last expedition up the Niger for which the public had to pay, it is the more desirable that the pablis should be folly informed who are the promoters of the new enterprise, what are its objects, why with so much hate and despateh another expedition is required, and what are di terms on which it is to be seat. Without indulging in any rashictiose derogatory to those who are so deeply crammed of Niger expedi tious, still, Jammu& as the cue now contemplated will ha the third, we believe, to which the public feeds bare contributed within a few years, it is in ovary teepee* neesesary that fall pablieity be given to the peewit scheme before it is set aide( ; espe cially as ea the previous masks the Arst thing say one out of the soled entitle beard of the affair was the ephemera of a vete in the navy oedemas fee 10,0001. or 8,0008, law titer the expedition bad gee.. That expedition had a twofold diameter. It was first of all a commercial eperelation of a private gentleman, interested, imerageone, and learned, bat not very sociamsful, in African adverting ; sad nest, a contribution of one at other of the aboveisaased Isms from Go►ernment to protest him against lees. To do him justice, we most avow our conviction that profit was not the main object in view. Indeed weans quits prepared to hear that as a oommersdal spew. lesion the enterprise entirely failed, notwithstanding the substantial contribution made towards it by Oovereassut. Bat the principle of Government aiding trade speculations, even when the speculators are disinterested and etiontifin, and when there ie s prospect of ultimate commercial advantage to the country, is one so liable to abase and to all the isfloenose of cligestie and favouritism that it needs only to be publicly avowed to be publicly sondennsed, Besides, share, with oar extending trade, is sash a principle to end P If a oseroantile operation up the Niger is to be assisted by a vote of 10,0004 out of taxation, why not one ep the Nile also? Thus we shall get into a system of confounding trade and dis covery, government and commerce, until claims fur assistance from atones:cry will become the order of the day, and private energy and enterprise be extin guished by Goverment connexion. If, however, these owisideratioas are not to pre vail, and if Goventment is resolved to make large grants in support of these hybrid enterprises up African sad other barberoes rime, let as, at all event% have pablicity and epos oompetitise in sash case. Do sot let as have these things arranged snugly and grumbly in a well carpeted room of the Admiralty, all the outside world bring kept in the mom profound igeorawie. And if men are not per mitted to compete for public mistimes, let then at least have the opportunity of oritisiaing sad dis owning. The learned societies ere, ao &lobe, very useful bodies, and deserve encouragement and respect. But it is impomible sot to observe that there are tow dencies towards eliqueris in the enthusiasm of their councils. The best corrective of those tendencies Is tree dissestioe. But that we cannot have if money is to be practised on all these oxasicas. gbe Court.

THE COMING CONFIRENCEIL Minding to the Gassers is Cologne, the replies of the cabinets of London and Vienna to the Rm. elan memorandum were sent to St. Petersburg, the lint on the 23rd of November, and the mooed= the 4th of the present month. In the Austrian despatch the question of the Moulin Principalities is re ferred to in a manner which amessitatie, it is said, a reply from the Emden government. The Ruske easseorandma is said to premed from the pea of the Baron Brannow. A Vienna correspondent of the Nord says:—" The high °Medal regions here were divided into two par ties, one of which recommended the adhesion of the Austrian cabinet to the warmed= of the Congress, whilst the mooed objected with obstinacy to that coves, which esetainly is the only mane of solving present &Mauldin Aa autograph letter from the Emperor of the French put an end to the hesitation of oar cabinet, and the Emperor Francis Joseph, an receiving it, at COOS entered into the views of his august ally." Tb.

Coast Caner admits that the text of Art. 90 of the treaty of peace is in favour of Russia, bat he gives it as his opinion that the spirit of the allele, and the intonate of the plenipotentiaries, were to remove Roses from the Lower Danube, and coneeqnsatly to deprive her of the Bolgrad which she wishes to pewee.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (YLOX 0171 OW PARIS, Irauax Blume. The many rumours on the subject of the Confer ences now siroslating in the European press go to confirm the inference which I deduced from the recent note in the Monifeer, that the preliminaries are yet far from settled.

Tarksy also has a geed deal to say list tie debate should be opened in each a form as may mil prevent the Russian plealpotentiary, and these ids may support him, from travelling out of the lewd in such a way as to evade the main point. The latest news on the abject from Turkey is a telegraphic despatch received this day, aonouncies that one of the Nos of Reschid Pacha has loft Con stantinople for Paris with despatches foe the Turkish ambassador, Mehemet Djsmil Bey, re lative to the approaching Coagulates. The form in which this announcement emu um den it more probable that Resteid Peakes eon is the bearer of instructions supporting the Turkish ambassador in the objections which he may have been supposed to have raised, than that he should be coming with a simple assent to the Coale reuse. Meanwhile, the attitude of Russia in the East is most deservieg of attention. It is admitted in gesture where the utmost desire exists to ex hassle all that may seem eggrendve in the conduct ▪ Reale, that she is preparing for all the" militia tine which may grow out of the present state of Whin in Persia. It hes been already intimated from Bt. Petersburg that General Chnikff .commands a corps of observation on the Caucasian frontlet Prince Bariatineki has Inspected the forts on the basks of the Caspian. The Oren burg corps is quartered near that sea. Generale (lemmatise anon Beboutoff are watching Seer Puha and Sobamyl. Although the Russian party deny the truth of the despatch stating that an army of 50,000 men was marching to support the Shah of Persia against England, news of specific movements of Russian troops towards Persia has arrived, which an very difficult to be explained, except by the sup position of hostile intentions. An authentic letter from Tiflis of N0v.13 states that 3,000 men of the reserve division of the Concuss had marched through hider to reinforce the flotilla in the Caspian Bee. It is also known that another body of 3,000 troops has been removed from A.trakan to the Russian military stations situated in the neighbourhood of Beide& and Astrabad. Although probably Russia hopes not to precipitate matters, and will dissimulate the real perms of these movements as long u possible, there tea be little doubt that she is seeking to albs blish military depots as far eastward as possible, tai if the Paris Conferences do not take place very it is by no means a wild supposition that they Aar ; be postponed eine die by the breaking out , between England and Russia on Persian Willowy. The Bourse has declined considerably. AldWash it was pretty well known that the Banks of Ragland and Franey would maks no alteration in the condi tions; of their,fileount, the official confirmation of the fact oontrilingefl to the gloomy feeling which pet ' veiled. Another eironaistanos which weighed upon ; the market was an announcement that the Eastern Railway Company will immediately Wee 1211,000aewl debentures at 270, with an, interest of 16fr. These soaditions would make It the interest of investors to sell the Rents even as low as 64fr. The Rents fell 30c. for ash, and 660. for aoosant, closing at 67fr. 16a. and 67fr. 45e. Mobilise fell 26k. Rail ways fell generally trost Mr. to lOfr., notwithstand ing an improvement in the last week's receipts.

The cotton market was quite firm, with sales of about 3,000 bales, about 2,000 of which were sold in transits. The Persia's advice. had led holdeu of cotton to demand an advance, to which buyers refined to secede. The total exports from the United States lino, the let of September last have amounted to 218,000 bales, against 400,000 for the same period in 1866, and 221,000 in 1864. The reoaipts for the same time this year have reached , about 732,000 bales, against 724,000 for the same ' time last year, and 414,000 bales the year before.

Them are tow Gauntries which have been less 'Mead by modem travellers than Ma bland of Madagesear„ Those wbo are iaterated in the history of thb country, its astural productions, aad its auseerose lahabitaate, will be glad to leant that the Bev. Wm. Bllie, who left Zeeland lest Kareh, at the impress invltatiou of the Queen of Made, geezer and the Prince, her son, has succeeded in resetting the capital, after as adventurous journey of throe weeks from the Nest, a distance of about 300 mike. With the same attention and kindness which awaited his arrival at Jamateve, Mr. Ellis was conducted through :all the stages of this journey, and finally arrived at the capital is the 27th of August, with the respect sad consideration thought befitting to a guest of the Chess. More than a hundred men had ben appointed by the Mada gascar government to convey hint sad hie packages, all being carried by hand, himself in a kind of palanquin, la whisk the traveller reclines for the greater *see of the bearers, and kis property portioned out by weight, a weals amount being allotted to sack carrier. Every mention wee neesmary for strength and safety ; for such roads, or r ather such: tracts, to be traversad without reads, Mr. Ellis states he could sever have imagined. Musk of the way wan through swampy districts, and over shallow riven, in eressing which the palanquin had sometimes to ha raised upon poise, on one occasion the man shouting es they went; sad when asked the cause of the noise, It proved to be far the purpose el frightening of the erooodiler. In melanins. the party grossed a broad lake in fifteen canoes. At other time their way lay through dense old Welts, perfectly awfal la the majesty of their giant growth, and the stillness of these vest solitudes. Sometimes the way was so narrow and precipitous' that only sae man Gould pass abreast, sad when more level the bearers had often no Uttar footing than a considerable depth of molt mud. It mu the relay /SODOM ; and Mr. Ellis describes Leis portion as being ;sad, designated the " fever district." Indeed, he was often reminded of one amongst the many shrewd saying of the late King Hodson, who used to boast that he could triot any invading army to his two gennais, 0 Wood and Fever.' The party passed en, however, and were haled occasionally for a day, without any attack from this malady, incept in the cue of one of the bearers. At ell the different heitiog stations the party ware re salved with kiadnew, ample provisions supplied, sad if any of the beaten abecoaded, a. they sometimes did, their peokspe were that forward by the Olaf of the place with the pettiest esectuess and certainty. Freqseatly daring the thane of the jouney messengers arrived from the capital to Gapes.. the friendly antieipctions of the Prises sad his Mends, and on advancieg towards the hat stages, these marks of attention became still more frequent. At last throe Weft, on horseback, approached se a deal escort; and the traveller was then conducted to a boas. appointed for his use, which he found exceedingly commodious sad comforta ble, being fitted up with many of the conveniences of Europesa life. Kr. Ellis being obliged to despatch hie josraal by the bearers who were returnieg to the coast, had sot had time for his anticipated interview with the Qaeen ; but his letter closes with ea account of a visit from the Prince of a most interesting asters. He was accompanied by the Queen's eseretery, who speaks English, being sae of those who some years ago received their edeestion is this country. The Prises is described by lir. Ellis as being entremely agree able is his pence sad manner. He was dressed in the style of a European radioman of risk, sad spoke and itoadiseted himself with a freak sad open cordiality, blended at times with evidthee of deeper feel's', all tadicative of that sincere, llamas', sad generous Cape*** for which he so universally beloved. Is these respect. in which Kr. Ellis is meet deeply inte rested, he ststos that the condition of things exceeds even his highest expestations ; bet the same stringent laws against Christianity still *main in forth, although there has sot of late bees any utile persocatica. Already be has bathed eaosgh to oceans t►e impression that it was his duty to pay this visit, whatever the ultimate issue may be, and he eareestly eolisits the prayers of all Christie*. that ' kin mimics may set ho la thin.

MADRAS RAILWAY. The following is from an official source : The last mail from Madras has brought accounts of the result of the first three months' workirg of this railway, commencing on the let of July and ending as 30th of September last. The line la open silty-five miles, from Madras to Arcot. The coaching traffic returns, during this period, show 39,903 passengers, and the goods traffic, 7,::70 tons con veyed. The total receipts, from all sources of traffic, hare beta—rupees, 66,685. Of this the working expenses amount to 65 per cent , leaving 45 per cent., or rupees 25,607 profits. to be applied a reduction of the advances made by the East India Company on account of guaranteed interest on capital. Tee cost of this section of the railway was stated by the Right Hoe. the Governor of the Presidency, Lied Harris, en the ommedoe of opening it for traffic, to have been only 6,6001. per mile, inclusive of the rolling stock. But making taboret allowsnee for contingencies and an under estimate, and assuming the actual cost to amount to 7,5001. a mile, or 487,6001. in all, the first three months' profits, say 2,4004 would be equal to a dividend at the rate of shout 2 per cent. per annum on that capital, after paying working 'spasms. The returns for October eahibit a steady increase of traffic, and the government have had to relax in some degree their reerietioes on tie running of trains, which have hitherto obits-acted its n 1 development. The goods traffic, is particular, bad BO much increased, that instead of a hell train running every second day at the outset, a daily goods' train each way had become nec sssss y, and was too heavy to be worked by any but the company's heaviest engines. This result for a commencement, and en a comparatively limited portion of the railway, is considered favourable, and gives expectation of vs ry satisfactory results when the first difficulties of traffic have been overcome, and the mileage is extended, as it shortly will be farther into the interior.
