TILE NEW PRoCTOR IN SAE UNIVERSITY OF ON- Fonn.—By the statute. of the University of Oxford (says a correspondent) the appointment of the two proctors is vested in the colleges suce,sively, according to a cycle. For the resent year the colleges which nominate are Mer ton and St. John's College.. The former society has • tied to the viceschatitellor its election of the Rey. John Ilun gerford Pollen, M.A., fellow of Merton College, to he one of the proctors. The peculiarity of the caw is that Mr. ' Pollen, who, a year or two ago, made a pil • eto the Addelorate of Lora Slirewsliury in the Ty , implored her prayers fur the Anglican tharch, and knelt with two other Anglican clergymen before the Roman catholic Bishop of Trent and received hi- til..ssing, ha, since been stepfmleil from his ecclesiastical functions by the Bishops of Ripon and Oxford for unsound teaching,.uf which due and forma intimation was given to the warden of his society, be. Marsham. In defiance of these facts Mr. Pollen Ls new nomiunta to a university office of the highest influence and importance ; and, iu his capacity of proctor, wall have a . voice during the next twelve months in deciding the the o- logical prizes of the university the other prises fur mote and verse composition called the chancellor's prizes ; the nomination of public examiners who conduct the divinity examinations fur denies, the election of certain professors, So completely by the constitution of the university is the latter body suiserseded by the colleges that this bare . faced nomination on the part of Merton College is without its remedy ; and by the present statute, dating from the , reign of Charles 1., the uni.osity has no voice in or veto upon the eLetion of its proctors. rablebed this day, Tilled to Last tiro, with numerous Moos price gr., bound to e at isceoceo and PERS POLIB, an Historical :Arta of Avers!

Tnz German powers are just as much at logger heads as they were a twelvemonth ngu. Not one ttingh step have they made towards the pacification or organisation of ttw country. Popular resistance of all kiwis, and for all causes, was put down. The lower classes goaded in several parts of Germany to insurreftion, were crushed, decrauded, and executed. On one or two points the middle classes essayed constitutional resistance ; and kept within the limits of the lave. But despotism would tolerate constitu tional and legal opposition just as little as 'popular insurrection. The functionaries and citizens of Cassel were treated with as little ceremony as the mob of Dresden. And the Austrians neatened over the liberties, us over the soil of North Germany. Austria was, however, not enabled to achieve this apparently complete conquest by any prowess or puissance of Its own. It was suppofted outside of the German Confederation, by the Emperor of ltrostY, who, at the hand of a large and well-equippnl army on the frontiers of Poland, MI iiaeed the territories and paralysed the courage of Pntssia. Within the confederation Austria counted upon the support of the four minor kings, three of them, we might almost say four, of French eirrat , tm, wit' whom fear of being absorbed or over idpad..er,d by Prussia, overcame all other considera tion, driving them to league with Austria, to swell her nrmie, and to enforce her pretensions for re storing the old Diet, and with the Diet her own In ISD9, it appears from our correspondent's letter, l a congregation of dissenters opened a place of wor ship called Providence Chapel. Subsequently a be- 1 ormion from it occurred, and found an abiding spot • in Zion Chapel. There, it seems, the Rev. EDWARD PARSONS ministered to a large and attached congre gation for nearly IS years; the merits of his charac ter not being, however, confined to his flock; for he occupied a respectable position in the general society of Chichester. Mr. PARsONs died, at the age of 62, on the 27th of January last, in the parish of St. Peter the Great, in the burial ground of which his family had a grave, and there, it was very naturally and properly proposed, to deposit his remains. Seven of the ten parishes and churches of Chichester are in the gilt of its dean and chapter. The parish of St. I'eter the Great, one of those seven, contains upwards of .1,000 inhabitants ; it is consequently by far the most important parish in the city, and, in reference to the amount of popula tion, it is also the most important piece of patronage the dean and chapter have to bestow. On its %a tones- in 1419 they presented to it and to its 3,000 people the 11ev. JARVIS KENRICK, a Truetarkm of the ultramontane school—inflexible and infallible. Such un exercise of the capitular patronage has of course produced its natural fruits—scandal, disorder, and outrage. To the Her. JARTIs KENRICK, applications to open the late Mr. PARSoNs's family grave, in order that his remains might there lie with the dust of his forefathers, was made by the chief officers of his chapel, who, to gratify their respect for their deceased pastor, had assumed the direction of his funeral. In reply, the Rev. Joivis KENRICK rc fused to have divine service performed over the re mains of Mr. Psusoxs, on the ground that the " de ceased was a separatist and a teacher amongst sepa ratists." But we do not believe that any wise and politic statesman would omit to use the golden opportunity that now presents itself for satisfying the just and importunate de mands that are put forward on a subject such as that we have named. And we must say, that if through mere obstinacy Sir Cu Woon shall persist in refusing so small a pecuniary concession to so great a pressure of opinion, he must be regarded as one of those fated men whom neither counsel nor experience can save from the conscquenees of being —what they are. It may be said that of the three taxes on know- Icsige, the advertisement duty is the least; and that if any concession were making to the advocates of general for relief in that direction. government ought to grapple with the qiiestion of the excise on paper, or the penny stamp on newspapers. But, on the other hand, it mast not be pretended that there is any real anta gonism of interests between paper manufacturers, journalists, and advertisers. On the contrary, we have always contended that the substantial interests of the three are closely and clearly united; and of this the advertisement duty is as obvious an example as either of the others. Sweep away the petti fogging exaction on advertisements, and the price which is charged for them will instantly fall, in the case of the shorter ones, to somewhere about one-half what now is of necessity charged. Every public print of character and standin;r in the kingdom will of course be benefited thereby incidentally:; not so much as the advertising class, 'tis true, but still to a certain extent. and in a permanent manner. But it is utterly impossible this should be the ease, without immedi ate and lusting benefit to the numufacturers of paper. A public journal cannot increase its adver tisements without an increase of circulation, and an increase of circulation manifestly implies an in creased consumption of piper. So that one good not only begets but absolutely involves the others: and what is thereby implied? Why, the expansion of two important branches of industry; the absorp tion of more labour, tenth skilled and unskilled, and the diffusion thereby of the vomforts and blessings attendant on steady means of subsistence to thou sands in ditkrent ports of the realm. If the CHANCELLOR of the ExatEctrEtt should make up his mind to devote the bulk of his surplus to the window tax or the tea duty, or any other large item of revenue, whatever judgment we should form of his choice, we should at freest be compelled to own that he had not left himself margin at present to attempt the further abandonment just now of so serious a sum as that tkrived from the duties on paper. But in that case we should feel all the more bound to urge upon him the next best thing he could do to servo that particular interest, namely, to stimu late in a legitimate way the demand for the com modity he continued to tax. And Sir Cumtetes Wool) is made of more impressive materials than wo give him credit for, if he cannot be brought to comprehend the considerations that ought to sway a minister occupying the position in which he is placed with respect to these matters. And even though the CHANCELLOR of the Ex ellEtWEß should resolve, unwisely and unnecessa rily, as we are persuaded it would be, not to devote any portion of the surplus to tho permanent relief of taxation in this department, he has still the oppor tunity of showing, at lent the will, though he may lack the courage, to do what i.e right, be reducing the advertisement duty to sixpence. By this it is demon strable that the revenue would lase after the first two months absolutely nothing at aB, while a certain degree of relief would be afforded to the humbler classes of advertisers. The rubric of the church of England containing no such direction as this, but expressly limiting its refusal of the of fi ce of he church to those " that die unbaptized, or excommunicate, or have laid violent hands on themselves," the Bishop was immediately appealed to on the. subject; and HS promptly replied that, " assuming the late Mr. PansoNs to gave been baptized, a fact I have never heard questioned, there can be no doubt that Mr. KENRICK is mistaken in his view of his duty." The Bishop added, that he had expressed this opinion to Mr. KENRI4:k in the hope of convincing him he was wrong. In vain, however ; (or two days urtcrwards, the remains of Mr. PAitsoNs were deposited underneath his own chapel, mar rounded by upwards of 1,000 people; having . been denied interment in the church-yard of the parish in which he was born, baptised, had lived a pious and', religious lire in the service of Gott; in which his family had a common grave, and in which he had hoped to be buried; and all because the ltev. JARVIN KENRICK believes separation front the churelt, though accompanied by all the essentials of religion, so mortal a sin as to authorise him in denying those who do separate from it, Christian burial ! Now, either the Ho% hurls Kmocii was in law justified in this monstrous and awful exercise of a floWttn 4 eY• Tlw skill and nddress which enabled Prince Beilwaunsiti:i. so Pi work upon the fear of demo cracy entertained by the Om, and the jealousy of Prussia, felt by the minor Kings, as to procure for Austria un tu.4.-endatwv, that its greatest Howse never ranch. d, 14.111U4 to have failed the minister in the very hour of his success.

It tarot out, however, that the Austrian minister will make no Min's-don; that he treats and mushier% Prussia Sr a dechltil inferior. What SCHWA Ia.EN aritti asks of Prussia is to be an accomplice in the confiscation of the liberties of Gcnnany and the independence of its primes, to be an inferior and subordinate necomplice. Ender the old omfederation, where the several states, especially the )(rent ones, preserved au kale. pendenm and a policy, en army and a diplomacy apart. it was nut of so much consequence that Aus triu should preside in the Diet , and Prince Wm:a men lie the normal minister of the confederation. But with the builds of the federation tightened as Austria proposes, with full powers given to the executive ut Frankfiwt to interfere in the internal cements of other states, to override their constitutions and dusk their development, N't /nil, at the MUM time, the foreign policy and diplomacy of this fede ration was to be concentrated and wielded by one lurid. it became a most serious consideration fur Prussia to allow Austria to take what might well be priestly power greater than that it was attempted to exercise over the dead body of SIMARD! at Turin by the Runtish church, or he was not justified. The Bishop of CHICHESIER has "no doubt" that Mr. KENRICK was wrong; but he has, he says, "no constraining power over Mr. KEXuICK whereby to ensure that he shall not repeat his refusal to use the burial service, as in the case of the late Mr. l'AitsoNs." It is probable he has not; but if Mr. KENRICK refused in Mr. l'AitsoNs's case to do that which the rubric and law of the church imposed on him, he thereby committed an ecclesi.uitienl offence or irregularity, for which the Bishop of CHICHESTER is bound to subject him to all the legal penalties. So, until that prelate shall have vindicated his authority over, and Mr. Ex ateK's obedience to, the Prayer-booli, by bring ing him wider the surveillance of the Ecclesiastical Courts, he will not himself have done his duty in his FRANCE. PARIS, TII'ADAT The director of telegraphs stated yesterday to the committee of initiative that the government was oc cupied with a plan for connecting Marseilles with Paris by telegraph, which is a grand desideratum for British tontimmication with India. A bill will he shortly presented on the subject by the Minister of Public Works. A cabinet council was held yesterday, at the Elysie, at which Louis Napoleon presided: The sub ject of deliberution was the recent intelligence from Germany, according to which the arrangements of M. Manteuffel with Prince Schwarzenherg at Dres• den have been disavowed by the King of Prussia, while the report of the beyond committee adopts the plan of the King of Wurtentberg for a retire -s ew tutive assembly of the German people. It was re solved to sent] instructions to the representative of the French Republic at Vienna, laying down the po sition which France II prepared to take in ease of a conflict between the two great German states. The simpathv of the government is said to incline to the side of Prussia. An animated topic of conversation in political circles is the resolution taken at the lust sitting of the Conseil d'Etut. The proposition of M. Pradia, affecting the responsibility of the ministers and of the President of the Republic, coming upon the order of the day, M. Boulay de la Meurthe informed the council that the government wished that the proposition should nut be discussed. M. Vie ier moved that no notice should be token of this wish. But by the advice of M. Booby, a councillor, M. Rivet, was sent to M. de Rover, %aster of Justice, to demand explanations. MI de Boyer said that he could decide on nothing without consulting the President; in the meantime he begged the council to adjourn their deliberations on the subject. The Council of State, complying with this request, recorded the incident on their minutes. It was expected that the govern ment would be interpellated on the subject in the Assembly. Ag in the old suit of beet-root rersris sugar-cane. No better lesson can be given on the subject of pro tection than the history of beet-sugar in France. This spoiled child, born at a moment when every. THERE never was a case in which so much of real French heart spurned dept2ndance upon the foreigner, good might be done at so little expense,—and in has grown into such a wild, clamorous thing, that which so mane people might be pleased at the risk every rational Frenchman, whose income is not de of offending anybody—as that of the aboli- rived from the crimson root, would gladly see it con firm of the advertisement duty.

For it is by punishing irregularities mid disorders when they occur, that their recurrence is prevented. The polity magistrate has " no constraining power" whereby to ensure that a pickpocket " shall not re- peat" his offence ; but his want of such power to repress future guilt only adds to the weight of his duty to correct present offence. And so with Bishop °alma ; it Ls for him to restrain such ebullitions of Mr. KV..MUCK'S future bigotry by subjecting his past display to legal correction. And unless he do so the nonconformists of Chichester will have great reason to complain of their Bishop. Fur this Mr. )(mites; seems to have become pos sessed by a non-burial mania. A few days after this ease of 31r. l'AusuNs, he refused to bury the remains of a poor lunatic who in her madness had committed suicide. "They might put her into the ground if they liked"—l i e would not read the service over her body. And into the ground the body was put with out a prayer or service. Now, with such a minister in a parish containing one•half the whole cathedral city of Chichester, though the lives of his parishioners may be safe, their bodies after death are not. Fur, as the bishop has "no emistruining power" to enforve Christian burial for their vemains, unless he will punish Mr. KENKICK, when lw acts illegally, half the bodies in the parish may he refused that sepulture which is the common law right of every parishioner. Under such cireunistances the Town Council of the city have taken up the subject, to ascertain what the law exactly is, and how its infractions am to be punished. But what a scandal, at the time we are engaged in repelling papal aggression thus to have the very worst practiiss of that church; its most senseless higotirr, and its most cruel intolcraee, imitated in the Church of England! called the whip-hand. The proposals of Austria, it is well known, were no less than to enter the confederation with the entire of her provinces - inother words,toswamp it. Then the constitution of the Diet was to be eleven votes. of which the minor princes emitted but three. This constitoded the Diet a lriet of Kings. And in this Diet Austria was to preside, anti, of course, Austria was to act as its chief and its executive. Tualwsv proposals, it steals, that although Baron MAxixerm. acceded, the King of PrtessiA, in one of those fits of coat-age and of pride which from time to time illuminate Ins desponding nature, has refused acquiescence. With what courage this new attitude of nsistanee will he nmintained remains yet to be seen. It accords, no doubt, with the senti ments of every man of spirit in Berlin, and every Prussian who still retains a hope to see his country maintain its position in the front of protestant and constitutional Germany. lint to consult the barometer of Prussian firmness, one must, we fear, look more to Warsaw than Berlin. Of all those kings, princes, and ministers, who are protooolling. and finessing, and menacing each other, there is not one who is sure of the ground on which Inc stands, or who durst trust his people or the German i pople in any struggle. They are therefore, one and all, at the nie.ecy of the cup. if NICIIOLAS persists in bidding them fall before the feet of SettwAttzEN- Amu, prostrate themselves no doubt they will. Should the Czvu. however, which is not impossible. consider tienw.itett:smitu to be arrogant, and to be pushing Austrian ascendancy too far—and should his Imperial Majesty opine that it is better to maintain two rival and conflicting powers in Germany. than aid the complete supremacy of one—then the present resistance to Austria may assume consistency and attain success. regime of the elder monarchy.

The instrument for determining the saccharine in tensity of sugar, called racchrimetre, is based on the phenomenon produced by the polorisation of light. A tube, containing a dissolution of sugar subjected to the proof, is placedin a sort of telescope. a person approaches his eye, he sees a disc divided into two shades very strongly marked. By turning a screw placed beneath the instrument, the two shades become confounded in one ; this screw cor responds at the same time to an indicator, which runs on a graduated scale. When uniformity of shade is obtained, the indicator is consulted, and if it has stopped at the 93th degree, such is the portion subject to the tax, that is to say, the fraction of pure sugar contained in the specimen experimented on.

Mr. PAULIN° seconded the adoption of the report. Continent oil his part was unnecesaary; the report spoke fir? itself. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN said the committee in their re port said that " Although they had not been enabled to carry out to the full extent the object expressed in the language of the resolue appointing them—viz., that they should settle the terms of the working agreement between the three companies—your committee have nevertheless collected information of a nature calculated to throw cen t:likeable light upon the quest' and to aid in protauting a fair and sound determination upon it." Now he (the chairman) begged to remark that the resoleition of the ' meeting Merrell to hail placed the committee end the directors in a false position. The resolution bad empower :d the committee to " settle the terms " of a working agree ment, while was clearly the province of the hoard (hear), awl if the present hoard hail been unfit for the duty they night to have appointed another beard. (Hear, hear.) 'I ney could not appoint a committee to supersede and paraiyse the board, without inflicting serious injury on the inn A stn of the company, and he begged that a stop might be put to ail the disagreeable proceediuga which had Is: some tint, eliie traded the company. They had all one common inosest. ' (Loud cries of " so, no.") A. proprietors of the Eastern Counties Railway they had one common interest. (Rear, hear.) It was. therefore, their ditty, by conciliatory and proper proceedings, to present the depreciatiou uf their pmperty as f was they could. The committee went on to say, " The minute I.f courerenre retains the following inveauniu duns, 'A loss of some 2,00II1;may accrue on rent of branches and canal; hut this, of course, in the allleir of the joiat com panies:' of VIA mat no mention occurs in the mime,* of conference. Relative to this matter your committee entice, that clause IS of the draft agmetnent, which defines, ca tegorically ' the working and other expenses of awl bee dent to the said railways and undertakings of the three. companies hearties hereto and tlw carrying into execution of this merneuent, and which are to be advanced and paid by the Eastern Counties Railway Compauy as here:ink:furs provided,' which clause ineludes the following ale:. le, ' All rents, annual SUMS and eharges reserved and payable by any or either of the said companies to any other elan. piny, under and by virtue of any lease, agreeme at, act of parliament, or otherwise.' floa draft agreement your', committee are informed was net formally submitted to the board, but was perused by Mr. Glynn, who took no oltje 0- then to ant' part of it excepting that which relates to Har wich." Now that draft agreement WAS in point of fact no agreement at all. It had not been drawn up by any of the solicitors of the companies, and was uo more in force or effect than a piers of waste paper. (Hen, hear.) There had ISMS some portions of the agree ment to which he did not assent when it was shown to him, and hail the board gone on with the matter he (the chairman) would have felt it his duty to object to these things, and it was not fair to charge the bard with atte:npt ing to tarry out all the provisions of an agreement to winch they had not assented. Ile would have objected to the par meat of the four-and-a half per cent., and also to the guarantee of 10,0001. At the meeting which had been held for adjusting the terms of agreement, Mr. Williamson had refused to sign the nternorandum because the liabinties of the Eastern Counties had not been defined. Ile (the chair man) had a-cured Mr. Williamson that the liabilitie s of the Eastern Counties were 240,000/., but that gentleman heel replied that the Eastern Comities accounts had been HO tampered with that he could place no reliance on them. Mr. Caky, the member for Yorkshire, also insisted ou having the Eastern Counties liabilities debited. The liabilities of the Eastern tllioll were stated at 72,1.001., but 1 that WAS reduced to 70.0001., the other 2,000/. hying the loss on the rents of the Stour Valley Railway and the Stow markt t and Lark Navigatione, which should have bra omitted from the working expenstn. It would have been Ida (Ow chairman's) business, if no committee had been appointed, to have inquired into all the circumstances before he had called upon them to put the seal of the cam easy to the agreement. As it was part of the understanding that this company should take the Eastern Union and Norfolk rolling stock, 20,1001. was added to the liabilities of the company, raising them thus to 210,0001. Ile miterited that no agree ment existed at all. There was only a Lure outline ; and it was for the director' , to have endeavoured to revertant the facts, and fur the company merely to have given them their sanction to proceed in the matter. (" Oh, oh.") Ile was convinced, that, if the com mittee changed places with the board, they would find it necessary to enter into an agreenieut as nearly as possible like the nreient. (Loud cries of " No, no." " It's abomi nable.") They certainly might differ as to details, but the principle would be substantially the same. (Hear, hear.) lie %mild read them a letter which he bad received from Mr. Cobleold, elated the 17th iwa. The letter in question stated that a meeting between the deputations of the Eastern Counties and Norfolk Companies, and the share holders' committee, took place at the desire of the latter, and at the expense of very considerable personal incon venience to several members of the former, ut the Bishops ;rate station. After son e preliminary polite expressions in the part of Captain Kelly, the deputations were simply in formed that the committee had 1 Ito si 4 - mint. that their report was in type, and that it would ap pear before the public on the day but one following Of this treatment Mr. Cobladd complained that it was. "to use the very mildest terms, uncourteous ;" and the n he concluded a ith the following criticism on the rep .t : "It as quite. unnecsere for me to make tiny comme ins mien it, us it has already peen cetimateal at its a Atte by the puhlie, but I 'nista, if my explanations. had been invited by the cianmittee at our meeting, have suggested that the interest of the capital to be invested in the rolling stuck would have been taken into account in the 4; per cent. working expenses which the Eastern Counti si were to have deducted front the gross receipt., and still they would hum had an ample margin, if the statement and comparison of the chairman of the shareholders' committee at a late meeting with reference to the working expenses on the Brighton line is worth anything, and I might have directed the attention of the committee to the facts that the earnings of the Eastern Counties company, stated at 702,4•13/., includes the receipts for cartage and deliveries on Loth the Norfolk line mill their own, rued that the earnings of the Ea.-:ern Union Company, stat .d by the committee at 90,711 e, wen for the year ending in June last, for the best six tweatles of which, as they well knew, the extension line was not ° De n o ; to Norwich, and that the weekly returns do not include the cartage and delivery receipts. The committee, how ever, thought ht, instead of seeking inform:aka, to found their opinion on the imperfect data which they obtained, including the joint report of the principal officers of the company " offered " as the officers' " unanbnous opinion iu compliance with a request made the precedino day only " upon u subject of deep importance to thousands ot' iudividuals having an invest ment of millions of capital. The chairman then referred to another letter from Mr. Cubbold, which he said he heel sent to the committee. Captain KELLY denied that it had ever been received. The CHAIRMAN replied that it had been sent to them, and that the would find that it contained nearly all the In formation which had been put into the committee's report. (" No, no.") Mr. BOX demanded how it bad been sent ? The CHAIRMAN—Through ;your own officer. (Con fusion.) The SECRETARY indignantly repudiated the idea that he had kept hack the letter, and offered to send for his clerk to prove that it had been delivered. (" Oh, oh.") He was utterly incapable of such an art as that of which it appeared to be insinuated he had been guilty. (Cheers and hisses.) The letter was then read. It was as follow': "Felixstowe Lodge, near Ipewich, March 3, 1551. "My dear Sir,—Your letter of the 20th has been for warded to me here, where I have nn papers to which I can refer which will show me precisely the amount of the Stour Valley Navigation rents and receipts You will have receive-a • 1 a copy of Mr. Quilter's report on the Eastern Union account which will Mee you as accurate information as to the receipts as I could supply, now '.y, 5 per cent. on the debenture debt, and 3 per cent. fill 1.., share capital of the Stour Valley Railway, amounting to about 10,0001. a year, from which has to be deducted the interest or dividend on SOO shams in the Stour Valley line in the hands of the Eastern Union Company—about 500/. a year.

A correspondent of the Kedge,' Zeitung, of yester day, says that Prince SChwarieulxrg has deter mined upon another interview with M. Man teuffel. The Prenssisahr Zeitaay (late Dredge-he Re f,; se) has endeavoured to throw doubt upon the authenticity of the memorandum of the 11th of Feb ruary, by asserting that that document was not addressed to any of the German governments. This equivocal denial of its official character the Xeronal Zeituv, Chnatitotirmal Zeitony, and other jour nals, regard as equivalent to an avowal of its genuineness : for they say it was nut addressed to the government, but to the plenipotentiaries at Dresden, and that in all its sentiments it completely coincides with the notoriously official publication Frodt Warsaw to Ohneez." A isimplact, :contain ing a spoken and unspoken speech of Henry Arnim has been confiscated by the police authorities. Nearly the whole of the first edition was sold before it was seized.
