Tnr Oxford Contest dray diurnally its slow length along, and, before its close, will bare become wearisome, if not hateful, to gods and men. Beyond the limits of the constituency immediately concerned, it excites comparatively little interest, because there is nothing whatever in the opposition to inspire either sympathy or respect. A straightforward political contest, representing opposite principle., and carried on between candidates not inadequately matched is character and ability, everybody can understand. There is much in a gallant battle of this kind to ex cite the sympathy and interest of Englishmen. But when there is no intelligible ground of opposition, and the forms of a contested election are resorted to merely to gratify personal or party pique, though the contest may be, se in the present instance, really important, it cannot excite any general public interest. In this fight of Oxford the ele ments of interest are all on one side. No man out of Oxford cares a rush for the Marquis of CTIANDOS. or feels the remotest interest in the disjunctive syllogisms and dilemma, which the logical chair man of his committee, Mr.:Ma:4Bn., has given forth as watchwords for his local partisans. There is notbirg dignified or even decent in the opposition to Mr. GLADSTONE'S return. Reduced to its primitive elements the oppo sition is simply an act of revenge, not only petty and malignant, but bitter and intense, in proportion to the intrinsic nobltness and worth of its object. Not that we moan to say for a moment that this is the feeling that consciously inspires the majority of Mr. GLADirom:i opponents. Many of them are conscientious and honourable men, who have been persuaded thst the course they pursue is the right one. Rut they are simply tools la the hands of a disappointed Conservative clique, smarting under recent detest, and deter mined, if possible, to areep themselves on its authors. The old University element of obstructive tory ism suggested itself as a fit instrument for this per pose. If the aristocratic and reactionary sympathies latent amongst the does were judiciooaly ex cited, it might stilt be possible to snatch • triumph, and thus enjoy the luxury of revenge through the University w►ich would certainly be denied else where. This is the coarse that has been pursued, and it is only surprising that so many honourable men have already been the victims of it. For the Marquis of Cuasesos to be returned would besot only a disgraat but a calamity for Starred. It would go far to destroy at one blow the beeeficent itfluence in public affairs which the University has within the last few years acquired. Oxford has recently acquired • high charseute and position, from having takes an en lightened istenet. as well as an important part, in the discussion of *octal and national questions, especially those connected with education. In these questioes it has generally taken an independent cosine, midway between party extremes. This liberal but moderate and independent meet is the secret of the in ifileillee which the University has acquired throughout the country. Now this is precisely the course Mr. Otanstosta has pursued in politics, and he has thus repeenented the University not only happily, but wit► mas► rare fidelity and power as to reach almost the ideal of perfect reprmeotation. Mr. OL•nvTo] a is io parliament exactly what the Uni versity is in the country. Ile brings to public affairs a cultivated, acute, and philosophic intellect, and discusses all questions not only from a liberal sad enlightened, but from an independent point of view. In retain.ng Mr. GL %I)KTONZ as her representative, Oxford has vindicated her po- litical independence. She has held a position midway between extreme parties, generally in clining, however, of late years, like her diatin. rushed representative, to • liberal and progressive rather than • reactionary course. The present opposition if successful would destroy this position, sad the vast power for good it confers. It would bring back the old days when the University was bound hand and foot to the lumbering caret Toryism. And at this time of day for Oxford to be degraded to a mere party instrument, and dragged through the mire and dirt of party contests, would be a voluntary degradation of the most ignominious kind. Ste CHAILLB Wool. told the electors of Halifax yesterday that he hoped the people of Germany were wise escugh to take the advice which the new English Ministers hive given them, and keep oat of the war. The sentiment was received with loud cheers. But be added that in the event et Germany rushing into " the vortex, our national interest►, our national gagemen's, may compel as to interfere." Cries of "No, no," were the answer to this most unfortunate observation, and we venture to predict that they will be echoed throughout the country. Why shield an English Cabinet Minister go out of his way to en courage expectations which tend to bring on the very mischiefs he deprecates? In the present state of feeling at the German Courts, all our advice will be in vain if the sovereigns believe that when it conies to the wont, Jonu Bum. will " grumble and f , pay." The persocs who direct the affairs of the Continental States do not need to be reminded of the eogagensents to fight their batiks into which we have been betrayed in times past. Bat it is important that they should understand that the foreign policy of this country is administered subject to the revision of Parliament, which votes the taxes by which our wars are carried on, and that public opinion will have to pronounce upon ■nr claim they may set up under treaties of defensive alliance. For their own sakes we caution our good cousins not to misunderstand the expres-1 aims which fell from Sir CDAIIIII WOOD at Halifax, but rather take his good Wein. LA UN= keep out of the war. and, if they ma, get the Wain at Italy settled upon a sound basis by Moodily media. tine. Cbt Court.

The following telegram is published in the Masi teur of this morning " CAVRIANA, JrNs 26, 2.30 rat. " Our troop. have passed the Mineio without any resistance, the enemy having withdrawn beyond the river." THE BATTLE OF SOLFERINO. FRENCH ACCOUNT The Moniteur of this morning contains details of the battle of Solferino, which are but reports of the different attacks of the corps d'armbe. The Moni tear does not state the number of the killed and wounded on either side. "The Austrians," it says, " by their first retreat over the Mincio had desired to inspire no with adventurous confidence, so that we should deploy our lines to a great extent, and *sable them to attack oar columns thus distant from each other. But the Emperor did not depart front that exalted prudence which regulates his courage ; the further the army advanced the more the columns strengthened themselves by concentra tion. Solferino is one of those battles which, if they do not end a war, nt least allow the solution to be foreseen. The Emperor of Austria commanded in person, and has thus been able to see of what nation he has made himself the enemy." SARDINIAN ACCOUNT. TURIN, WEDNESDAY. The Piedmostase Gazette publishes the report of the battle of Solferino,oritten on the same evening: During the night from the 19th to the 20th inst., the Austrians evacuated the right bank of the Mind& On the 24:h the Emperor ordered the army of the King of Sardinia to occupy Pozzolengo, and to invest Peachier., whilst the French army occupied Solferino and Carriana. The King ordered the Ist and 6th divisions to despatch detachments to the places mentioned, and the 3rd division also I to send a detachment towards Peachier& The Aus trians, during the night, from the 23rd to the 24th, advanced towards the right bank of the Mincio. Reports of deserters are unanimous in stating that 40,000 men were collected at Pozzolengo. Marshal Baraguay d'Hilliere met with unexpected difficulties at Solferino, and thePiedmontese reconnaissances also encountered great forces of the enemy. 'Whilst Baraguay d'Hilliers performed prodigies of valour at Solferino, the manes of the enemy continued to advance. At Castiglione the Emperor perceiving that he was now contending with the entire army of the enemy, deployed the corps of Generals Niel and M`Mahon in the plain, and ordered Canrobert to rejoin with the Imperial Guard the reserve on the heights. The King had been requested to direct all the forces possible against Solferino, and he accord. ingly ordered Generals Fanti and Durando to convey succours to the French. General Fanti bad already commanded the movement to be made when news arrived that the recon naissances of the 3rd and 6th divisions were in danger of being cat off at Disenzano by a superior force of the enemy. The King re called Fanti, and ordered the brigade Aosta to re• turn promptly to San Martino. However, Baraguay d'Hilliers won Solferino, end marched against Car riana. The King having been informed that, not withstanding the 3rd and 6th divisions were engaged, it was difficult to carry the heights of San Martino, ordered a general at tack of those divisions, with the brigade Aosta, the let division under General della Marmon, and the brigade de Piemont. In spite of a violent tempest, General della Marmora directed his course by Pozzolengo, and descended upon San Martino, but was attacked from the side of Pozzolengo. The 4th regiment moving to the lett repulsed the enemy, curling great lases with our artillery. In spite of General Derando's delay, occasioned by the tempest, and by the ignorance of the guides, the 3rd and 6th divisions and the brigade Aosta dis lodged the enemy from his formidable positions, and a brilliant victory ended a contest of fifteen hours, sustained with heroic constancy. The order et the army was admirable. Here follow de tails as to the loss of the Piedmontese, accord ing to which 1,000 were killed, and about the same number wounded. The heights having beers occupied, the French forced the enemy to retire to Goito—thus beaten along their whole line: Ac cording to positive information it results that 26,000 Sardinians held their ground against 60,000 Aus trians who were united and engaged with all the advantage of position. THE SWISS BARBARIfIES AT PERUGIA. The Tama and Piedmontese papers teem with accounts of the shocking scenes enacted at Perugia by the Swiss troops. A letter of the 21st from Arezzo, in the Corriere Mercantile of Genoa, an nounces the arrival in that town of many persons who had fled from Perugia, but in such • state of terror and alarm that they were able to give but a very imperfect account of the barbarous proceedings of the papal soldier, who occupied the town. The latter adds: TM amber of killed and wounded during the struggle appear. to have been small, but after all resistance had ceased the troop, began to wsoeacea the citizens indiscrimi nately, sparing neither age nor am. The municipality attempted to stop Usk carnage, and left the town hall with a white flag for the purpose, but they were fired upon by the esidiery, and Secretary Porta, who ....wiled the flag, fell reertolly wounded. Them mints of bloodshed atilt coati- Reed ea the 21st, in spite of all the Mate of the municipal wham iik The Opinions of Turin says: Treachery Introduced the Swiss into rerugls. n. circuit of the town is very require; though the present population le only 20.000, it has been as Wen as 80,000.

Though the townsmen had few arras, the straggle war protracted for three boun after the Swiss got inside. _ A Florence letter, in the Corriere Mercantile, adds that Cortona is full of refugees from Perugia, in cluding the Princess Bonaparte, whose house was violated. She arrived at Torentole, in Tuscany, on the 20th, and was expected at Florence. The same letter, after stating that the capuchin friars of the Monte convect tired upon the fugitives, and that the troops did not even respect the ambulance', distinguishable by a black flag, who were engaged In taking up the wounded, gives a long li►t of the persons murdered by the soldiery after all fighting was over. Among these we find three married couples, five elderly women, three unmarried female', the daughter of a Captain Polidori, five years old, Ac. An infant was taken from its mother's breast and thrown into the Tiber; even an old beggar was shot in the streets, and many men wantonly murdered or wounded. All the names of the sufferers are given in full in the list alluded to, where various act' of pillage are also mentioned. CIRCULAR OF COUNT CAVOUR. The Journal des Dards of this morning publishes a circular despatch, dated the 14th, addressed by Count Cavour to the representatives of Sardinia at the foreign courts. In this document, which is of considerable length, Count Cavour explains his views of the events which have occurred since the commencement of the war. He recalls the fact that the programme of the congress pro posed by Russia, had for its base the maintenance of treaties which secure Austria in her Italian possessions. Austria having refused her adhesion to th'v programme, and having invaded Piedmont, the victories of the aPied armies have placed Lombardy 4 1 their possession. The deep eentimentsofantipathy on the part of the Italian popu lations against the Austrian government have burst forth; and the very authorities established by Austria have proclaimed her fall, and demanded the annexa tion of their country to Piedmcnt. The King of Sar_ dinia, in accepting this spontaneous expression of the national will, makes no attack upon existing treaties, mince Austria, in refusing the congress which had the maintenance of these treaties as its base , has herself annulled them as far as she is con cerned, and restored to the Italian populations their natural rights. The object of the pre sent war, firmly avowed by the King, is Italian I independence and the exclusion of Austria from the Peninsula. The formal declarations of the Emperor Napoleon have reassured those who attributed am bitious designs to his generous intervention. Count Cavour concludes b;s circular by expressing his con fidence that the European equilibrium will not be disturbed, and that there will be seen in Italy "s. strongly constituted kingdom—such as is naturally indicated by geographical configuration, unity of race, language, and manners, and such as diplomacy at former periods has shown a desire to create in the common intlrest of Italy and of Europe." PRUSSIA AND AUSTRIA. VIENNA, TUESDAY. The report is current that the Emperor of Austria will shortly have an interview with the Prince Regent of Prussia. Two decrees favourable to Protestants and Jews are expected. ITALY. -*- NAPLES. Count Salmon, the minister rent to Naples by the Kiog of Sardinia to restore diplomatic relations be tween the two courts, has been decorated by the King of the Two Sicilia* with the order of St. 'annulus, the most distinguished honour in his gift, The investiture took place on the 18th, at the re sidence of the Count. A few weeks ago the Neapolitan Consul-General at Leghorn, having refused to acknowledge the acts of the Tureen government, was suspended from the exercise of his functions. This gentleman having since come to abetter mind, he has been reinstated. PROM 001 OR/I COI NAPLES, Jews 21. I send you the translation of a protest which has been extensively circulated through Naples and the provinces. As you will perceive it speaks in the bitterest terms of England, and England must well consider how far she has merited it. You will perceive that it adopts the words which are used by the Emperor in his proclamation at Milan, when he speaks of the "..enemies of the friends of Italy :" PItOTE3T. On the booking out of the holy war of Italy, the Neapoli tans had but one heart, and their government but one band for repression, and yet surrounded by spies, kept doss by violence, they neglected no means for aaristing in the liberation of their country. If they were not on the plains of Lombardy, it was not the wish, but the power that wee in fault, for though surrounded by a'ring of iron, within which they still straggle, they yet contributed to the good work, though with nouns loss prompt and lees direct. But the Asturian bearing of the court only increased the Italian sen timent of their heart', and on the 7th Jane they showed Europe that neither the gendarmes of the King, Francis, nor the scaffold can restrain • people soc.ngst whom a Campenha, a Maraciello, and a Teleido, were bon. The luonemee and imposing manifestations received with sympathy by Europe, approved by the rights of nations, assured too by remota and commanded by duty, were re pressed by the bayonets of gendarmes and punished by the prosecutions of the police; and, as if violence were not mil -1 icient, the decrees of 16th June were prodnood, which, falsifying the holy words clemency and pardon, at that open the hearts to jo and hope, but afterwards are found to be only offences already expiated, whilst they leave in suf fering in the Ergestoli, in exile, and in prison, not only those condemned, but a vat number of those detained by the simple fears of a nebulous police; all guilty or suspected only of having loved to) well that Italy for which Sardinia and France are shedding their noble blood. From a power which mocks at misfortune and defies public opinion, from • power which is the enemy of the friends of Italy, end which ponders in secret the schemes for renew ing against them her traditional treacturowa policy, which lost it in the times of the first Empire, from such • power what good, what amistance, is to be expected for the liberty and the tranquillity of Italy? The Neapolitans, thenifotw, wain protest tipsiest the acts sad the polity of a court end • faction which, directed by the Duke of Taormina, Mt no shame in recognising legally the lists of the proscribed, sad surroundieg Isioples with • hedge of bayonets and cannons; and while protesting thus, appeal to the noble power of King Victor Emmanuel and of the Emperor of the French, in order that, sceording to the eslgno words uttered at !iliac, even Naples may be called upon for the free expression of her legitimate wiehes—even Naples may be able to embrace the opportunity which Providence prts,nts to peoples and individuals—even Naples may take advastage ut the force which is now offered to the Italians, as well for the preservation of order as for combatting their ensmira, who are not only on the butte of the blind° and the Adige in white uniforms., and with banner. unfurled, but there, too, where to love Italy is a mime, Carouse under the royal purple on Austrian heart is cancealed and beats. The Milanese proclamation hu also been printed, and is circulating freely in secret. The fete of Corpus Domini and the great annual fete of Santa Rosalie have been suspended in Palermo. A saint is said to have been found in Pa lermo, dressed up with tricolored ribbons; the stu dents were held responsible for it, and have been dismissed to their homes. Troops are said to have been sent to the frontier. The motive of the arrest of the telegraph em ployfe appears to have been the following ; Bozzs and the late director, and others, by affixing a ma chine to the wire, seem to have made themselves muter, of the despatches, communic►ted them to the liberal party in Naples, and to the French authori ties, so that the Emperor is believed to have been kept au courant of everything that took place hers. Two decrees were published last night, entirely liberating 49 persons who have already mimed 24 years in the Ergsmolo, and reducing the punishment of one man who had been condemned for 30 years to 8 years in the Ergastolo. They are all prisoners for common crimes; yet those in prison without trial for 2i years are still detained Bircin Brenier arrived yesterday. Mr. Elliot will leave to-day by the Terrible, which will wait at Mar seilles for the now minister, Sir Arthur Msginois. The Cologne Gazette publishes the following from Herlio :—•' The Berlin Douro received the news of the Austrien defeat with a rim in both Austrian god Pray elan securities. A similar ries has occurred et Vienna. The more decisive the blow, gat speculating, the sooner will peace be made." EXPRESS FROM PARIS. OWN OWN OWN 00/1118PONDZWC) PARIS, TVISDAT EYININO. The Patric publishes a despatch which it describes as a "private" and " important " one, purporting to give details of the battle of Solferico. It con tains, however, nothing beyond diluted particulars already known. lam very incredulous about pri vate telegrams from the theatre of war, as I know that mine are allowed to be sent. The Empress has doubtless received a great deal of news not yet published, and some of this may very likely ooze out with more or less admixture of error. The Patric dwells upon the risk which the Em peror ran. It says that he never put his horse out of a walk when changing position, although showers of bullets rained ironed him. The Emperor's order of the day speaks of the French army as having bees opposed to 160,000 men. It is suggested by the Presto that his Majesty did not here mean to speak of the whole force of the enemy, a part of which was opposed to the Pied montese on other points, and that the total Austrian force cannot have been leas than 200,000. The semi-official journals are now allowed to state the fact that, besides General Auger, whose arm was carried away by a cannon-ball, as announced is the Mosileur,Geserala Forey, De Ladmirault, and then were wounded at the battle of Solferino, but that happily none of their wounds are serious. The Slide says that Colonel Pi nard, of the 34th Regiment (General Bazaine's division), a brother of the director of the Calm d'Escompte, is among the wounded. M. Granier de Casaagnac has an article in the Pays lon the " Royalty of the Pope," in which he desires to refute in a lump a number of " strange things" which have been lately said about it. The scope of his article is to the following effect:—The Pope's temporal authority is in no way whatever called in question. The states of the church are among the oldest in Europe. Independently of possession and tradition, they are guaranteed by treaties which are the basis of order in Europe, and it is no more reasonable or possible to dispute the sovereign rights of the Pope than it would be to dispute those of the Queen of England, the King of Prussia, or the Emperor of Russia. Not only has France no idea of questioning the temporal autho rity of the Pope, but one of the objects of the war is to make him independent, by delivering him from Austrian pressure. Austria is the only enemy that France has in Italy. It her possessions alone which must suffer tho fortune of war. The duchies, even, are not formally and di rectly affected by any question of change of sovereignty. It is no doubt to be re gretted that the sovereigns of Tuscany, Modena, and Parma, by not taking a national view of the affairs of Italy and by abandoning their peoples, should have placed groat difficulties is the way of restoring their authority. But it is quite certain that France never proposed to herself to dethrone anybody but Austria in Italy. The Papal and Neapolitan States are altogether strangers to the question of a re settlement of Italy, and will not be affected by it in any event. As to Tuscany, Parma, and Modena, their case is reserved for the decision of Europe. The military dictatorship which it has been found necessary to accept is an essentially conservative The above article does not in any way allude to an ingenious and apropos distinction made by the King of Sardinia in a recent circular, in which he divides into two categories tho kind and degree of authority exercised by him in those parts of Italy out of his own dominions. Some states (his Majesty says) are simply protected while others are annexed de facto. It is moreover to be remarked that the re cent official paragraphs in the Montleur said nothing about any distinction of this kind. The Presse, however, suggests by way of reconciling the Moni ker with theßardinian circular, that the annexation de• facto mentioned in tho latter must necessarily be understood to be a temporary annexation. The Bourse was unfavourable, acted upon by the same causes u yesterday—the absence of details of the battle of Solferino and the menacing attitude of Germany. M. de Beast's circular is considered very hostile. Tim Rents for account went down to 61fr. 90c., but there was a sudden rise late in the afternoon from that extreme point of depression on a rumour that Venice was taken. The latest prices were 62fr. 100. for cash, and 62Fr. 20c. for account, being a fall of 20z. and 10c. Mobilier closed with a fall of but lfr. 26c. There was scarcely any ulti mate change in railways. The Gareth• do France says that the Emperor has ordered lists to be made out in every department of France of all categories of men liable to be called to arms, and that measures are taken for raising 460,000 men within two months. I should have been inclined to look upon this as an alarmist paragraph, invented by a hostile journal, but I find it reproduced in the Si,c/e. The prefects, lam told to-day, are ordered not to be particular about taking men under the regulation age, but to accept lade of 18 or 17, if they are strong. The Presse says in its weekly commercial re view : The Improvement produced by the rapid anocessee of ore armies has cot made any marked progress, and the situation remains much the 41.010 as last week. The news from Prussia and Germany has occasioned the suepension of very many orders. The immediate wants of consumption are, however, sufficiently considerable to keeps good many hands employed.

SCARLETT AND THE MARQUIS RIDOLFL A distinguished Italian, whose letter we published oa Thursday last, felt himself entitled by his know ledge of the Marquis Ridolfi to call in question the accuracy of Mr. Scar lett's report to Lotd Maim... bury of his interview with that nobleman, published in the Blue-book on Italy. Mr. Scarlett related that the marquis expressed to him the belief that " the mhjority of the TWICIIIII were attached to the Grand Ducal lazily, and would gladly see it restored." Our correspondent's confidence has been justified. To the Monitore Tograno, the marquis writes : The despatch addressed by the British minister plenlpo • tentiary at Florence to the Hui of Malmesbury, dated June?, glees an amount of a c lawmen= between that diplomatist and the undersigned. The undersigned regrets that in tbo account of Ufa conversation, addressed to his government, Mr. Scatlett, no doubt led into error by an imperfect recol lection of what had pained, should have attributed to him opinions which he does not entertain, and expresaMets which he never uttered; the undersigned having simply declared that to the cauwa which render a restoration of the dynasty of Lorraine in Tuscany impossible there must ass be added its having teken refuge in Austria, and remained there per manently.

The islands are gene rally healthy; trade dull, except at Jamaica, where it was unusually active. The Atria() brings the Consuls of England, France, and Spain, who have broken off political relations with the government of St. Domingo. The cause of the rupture was owing tothe Dominician government calling in the paper money issued by the previous administration, and fixing upon it a mere nominal value. The Consuls of Holland, Denmark, and Sardinia have also suspended their relations. The American Coruna still remains at St. Domingo. THE BRAZILS. LISBON, JUNE 28.
