MR. OGLES STEAM PHAETON. FROM A CORRESPON DENT. We are happy to assure our readers and the public, the experiments tried by Mr. N. Ogle, with a locomotive steam phaeton, is considered so eminently successful, as to put the question st rest for ever. The subject of locomotive vehicles, to be propelled by steam, has :) co mystified, and the public kept in a state of suspense and igno rance for some time. AVe will, in a single sentence, tell the truth, :::d nothing but the truth : All the projectors of these vehicles have either failed, or waited for the prinsuns mobile, the heart, the soul, the nerves, and sinews of the whole—a boiler which combined perfect safety, tightness, and so great a heating surface, as to give the means of using, on nnergency, an excess of power. If Mr. Gurney's boiler had been fficient, the roads would have been covered with steamers long ago: we hope and trust that he will, before long, make it so. Mr. Han rock, of Stratford-le-Bow, has gone more miles—all short trips— than any one else : his boiler gives great heating surface ; the s•ructure resembles a series of quires of paper set edge-ways. through the middle of them is a hollow bar, with openings at thv places where these chambers fit on. These flat chambers are sup ported with strips of iron, and the whole screwed up. The form is ay no means mechanical, but certainly efficient to a certain point. Messrs. Oglcand Summer's boiler we know contains the greatest possible heating surface in the least possible space, and, at the same Ime, is of the strongest mechanical form, and ;actually lighter than :ny other known. It is difficult to conceive a boiler, only twenty.two inches broad, three feet long, and seven feet high, which contains two hundred .:11(1 four feet of ?scaling surface, or sixteen horse power—and which is so perfectly safe, that if by tremendous pressure any pot. tion of it was to rend, no injury would ensue ; but the rent would instantly become a safety valve to the remainder. This boiler was positively proved with a pressure of three hundred and sixty pounds 44 the inch, and, during the experiment, was worked at snore than two hundred and forty pounds on the inch. The power being now obtained, the application of the machinery Occomcs very easy, and we know, that it has been divested of al :omplication and brought to so simple a state, that little improve. ment is looked for. The whole will be on springs so as to diminish ..he vibration. The vehicle, under every disadvantage, went from London to near Basingstoke, in Hampshire, at the tate of ten to sixteen miles an hour; and down hill, to prove that it was under management, it a• allowed, in some instances, to run at twenty-five miles an hour! The application of this boiler to steam navigation, will effect a :noz,t important change, and be most lucrative to those whose pro. petty is embarked in that line. It is well known that high pees. sure steam-engines are far preferable to any other, when the boiler is perfectly safe--a point not attained before the production of Messrs. Ogle and Summer's boiler. This boiler will occupy about one-sixth of the space of the present boiler, and weigh about ~ne-tenth of the weight—and, as we before said, can do no in jtry if, by a pressure not to be easily attained, it was to rend. No steam can be very useful above two hundred pounds on the Inch—this boiler has been tried at three hundred and sixty— and so may be pronounced perfectly innocuous. It can be most easily applied to the present low pressure engines without any alteration, as the steam has only to be worked on the expansive principle. We have no doubt that seagoing steam-ships and others, will soon adopt this method of generating steam. For mines, and works in distant countries, it is most valuable ; since all the parts being alike, it may be canted up the loftiest mountain, and be put together without error. It is easily repaired, if insured, and a vessel need not be detained three hours, even if a shot cut away one half of it. It has already excited much atten tion in the mechanical world—and one of the most profound and practical engineers has been heard to pronounce it the most perfect boiler in existence for vessels and carriages. We understand that Mr. Ogle has carried through his undertaking without any :radiator; we therefore mare particularly hope that he will meet afth that support which his exertions call for. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. CAMBRIDGE, MAY 7. Saturday the 24th ult. Tugwell Robins, B.A. George Urquhart, B.A. and Edward Yardley, B.A. of Magdalen College, were elected Fellows of that Society. Frederick Thomas William Coke Fitzroy, B.A. of Magdalene College, has been appointed by the Hon. and Rev. the Master of 114 t Society to the Norfolk Travelling Fellowship. Some beautiful specimens of stained glass, representing the arms a his Royal Highness the Chancellor of the University, and of the Lord Chief Justice Tindal, were last week presented to Trinity Colitge, and now decorate the windows of its magnificent hall—the tunner being plated opposite a similar gift from his Royal Highness C., Duke of Sussex, and the latter next to the alms of the Lord ilor. OXFORD, MAY G. This day the following Gentlemen were admitted to Degrees:— BACHELORS or ARTS.—Viscount Villiers, and Hon. Henry Ituripgton, Christ Church; James Bliss, Otiel ; Thomas Ormerod, lhazanose ; Henry Nowell, Corpus; Rd. Alexander, Wadham. Ott the Ist of May, the number of Compositions sent in for the Prizes was as follows For the English Essay ten; subject—" The character of Socrates, "described by his disciples Xenophon and Plato, under the different points of view in which it is contemplated by each." For the Latin Essay only two, subject—" An apud Gra-cos aid, +;14,1 Ronianot magic exculta fuerit civilie Scientia ?" Fitt the Latin verse, twenty-six ; subject—" Tyrus." For the English verse, sixty-nine (a pretty considerable number, but much lets than some former years;) subject—" The African ['teen.' The Regius Professor of Divinity, following up the intention of Ms predecessor, Bishop Lloyd, seems determined to remove the op probrium which has long hung ova the " cramhe repetita" of the old exercises for Divinity Degrees. lie has issued a Notice of Dis putations (open to the public, of course,) pro Grath' B.D. on the 11th and 12th inst. on the following Theses : The Prophecies do not warrant an expectation of the Restore ,en of the Jews to the Holy Land." The Hebrew points are an early and authoritative tradition." '• The doctrine of Pelagius is subversive of the scheme of Chris fhe existence of certain additions to the Pentateuch is not suM. .::ent to prove that it was not written by Moses." The circular does not say that the Questions will be discussed :a English ; but it is to be presumed (in order to make this al tcration the real improvement it is capable of) that that is the :mention. In this case, a numerous audience may be reckoned upon, from the novelty of tail first attempt to make the Exer 6ses fur superior degrees real, instead of formal, and particularly 11 the Respondents on the respective days are the Rev. Edward B. Fusty, Canon of Christ Church, and Regius Professor of Hebrew, 0 4 Rev. Charles C. Clarke, Student of Christ Church, and Arch deacon of the diocese of Oxford. Regius Professors and Arclidea one will not often be thus found matched in theological combat.— fhe Professors in the other Faculties must bethink themselves, and set their houses in order.—Nam tue res agitur parks cum proximua The new statute "De Examinandis °radium Candidatis,"will be Ptoposed iu convocation on Thursday the 13th inst. For the prpose of affording to members of convocation an opportunity declaring their sentiments distinctly on each point, the new , :atute has been divided into sections. The sections will be erupted ore by one, until all shall have been voted upon. If Approiell it will come into force in the examination for Easter Tun. Ii 3i . .3lost of the sections propose what must be considered tn vovullents. The greatest opposition is expected to that which would give the examiners the power of selecting a passage from an aiditienal classic to be translated by every candidate for a degree. Surely adcgiec is already sufficiently hard of attainment to the great majority ; should this clause pass into a law, it should be accom panied with a proviso that sometimes-forgotten sentence of the old statute (which is also happily retained in the new one)—vis. " Nihil .cro taste aut asperum molimur," should be fixed up in large golden raters over the door, and in several conspicuous parts of the exa. r.iaation school.

From the Representanl. After the excuses made on the subject of Terceira, everybody asks, " Whence came the duty of neutrality at all ?" Miguel had been sent to Portugal with the direct interference of the British Government. lie had been feasted by the King and his Ministers; and honourable men, of all arms, had been paraded be fore him, as if to make their several honours a pledge for his. Sup. pose somebody, at that moment, had blurted out, " This man is a rogue : the man you arc saluting has a lie in the corner of his mouth. He is going to cheat Portugal, and you, and everybody. It is a disgrace and a dishonour to have anything to do with him." Would not the answer of those honourable men have been, " Life Guards,—There's about ! Rump him.—Show him the tail. We do not come here to salute cheats and rogues ; nor does anybody mean to send us here to do it." Can any man deny that this would have been the consequence, if it had been possible, at that moment, to fix on the forehead of Miguel a representation of all he meant to do, and, in the end, did actually do ? Now, under such circumstances Is these,—after the man had done everything in his !power to disgrace everybody who had committed themrelves, by showing him any kindness and doing him any honour, .and when the natural jealousy of all honourable men must neces sarily have been to give some proof, that, if they had assisted him, they had, at all events, been deceived in him,—under such circum stances as these, whence came the obligation on the English Minis try to preserve neutrality at all g It might be a question for fur ther deliberation, whether they would make active war upon Mi guel for the discredit he had done the country that had encouraged him; whether, for example, they would send a fleet and army all the way to Portugal to help to put him down. But, leaving this question for after consideration, whence came the obligattun not to admit of, and encourage all manner of passive war, or such as could be effected by merely giving scope to the operations of his enemies, and leaving Miguel to come back to England M take vengeance, if lie chose ? Put the case, that anything similar had happened in private life—that one well-meaning gentleman had written to 'another— " Here is a young man ; a very fine young man : I send him to you by a ship of mine, which I have, in fact, fitted out entirely for his accommodation. I have done everything I could for him here. I recommend him to you with all my heart, and assure you he Ia a very nice young man indeed." And suppose the young man so sent, on his arrival had robbed the house, would the gentleman— the sender—have said, " 0 dear, 0 dear, I am very sorry ; but you know I must be neutral. If he has beaten any of your servants and turned them out of the house, for GOD'S sake do not let them come this way, for you know I cannot receive them. If they should come here, and go back to try to get in at your kitchen window, I should be obliged to fire upon them in the passage. For heaven's sake, re member my neutrality.: for all that's sacred, expect nothing from me that will put me off' my neutrality." Let any person now answer himself the plain question—lf one man, in private life, had sent a stranger to another, who had turned out a rogue, who but a rogue would think of standing upon such a neutrality as this ? It might not be positively convenient to the first man to say, " I shall jump into to-night's mail with my brace of pistols, and tome and help you ;" but he would, at all events, say, " Anything you or your friends can do for yourselves in these pans, I shall be bound to promote; and, indeed, it is the only way I have to show the pub. lie that I was not a partner, from the beginning, in the robbery from which you have unfortunately suffered." This would be the ease between private individuals; and, till some reason can be shown for a difference, it must be held to be the case with Portugal. CHURCH RATES. The evils of the church rates are fully demonstrated in three pe titions which have lately been laid before the House of Commons. The petitions came from the inhabitants of Taghadoe, Ballyma kenny, and the union of Moleary and Monasterboice. The petition from Taghadoe states that the petitioners arc inhabi tants of the parish of Taghadoe, in the county of Kildare, in which parish there never has been remembered to be a church, no Pro. testant residing in it until some years back, when a Mr. Orierson came to reside there; that the distance from the said Gricrson's house to a church, which is in the town of Alaynooth, is about one mile and a half; that it is now in contemplation to build a church in said parish, which is a particularly small and poor parish. Not only all theßoman Catholics of the parish have signed this petition, but Mr. Orierson, the only Protestant gentleman, has also signed it ; the petitioners therefore respectfully implore the House to prevent said church from being built,witich they submit would almost he the ruin of more than half the parish, who, after paying their rents, are scarcely able to support their families. The petitioners of Ballymakenny state that that parish is simi. laxly situated like many others in Ireland, having a population of many thousands, while there are but two Protestant families re. siding in the parish, who, at will of the minister, assess and tax the lands to any amount they please at vestries, while all power of re dress is taken from them, in depriving them of voting at vestries by the new act ' • that their church eras this year is fourpcnce halfpenny an acre, and is often six and sevenpence an acre, for useless expen diture on a church seldom occupied. The petitioners of Moleary and Monasterboice say that they la. bour under the severest oppression from the late vestry act, which leaves the entire taxation of their lands at the disposal of the Prates. tent minister 1 that although the population is upwards of 5,000, there is not one Protestant residing in the two parishes ; that the rector, the Honourable and Rev. Dean Trench, resides at Ballinas. loe, on another living (at a distance of ninety-five miles,) and re ceives from the union of parishes there above one thousand pounds a year in tithes, yet never contributes one shilling towards the re pairs of the Church, from which lie derives so enormous a sinecure emolument,while :hey, the landholders, are forced to pay tourpence, and even sixpence per acre church cess, for the support of a useless and unfrequented church ; the petitioners further observe ; that the churchwardens and clerk reside out of the parish. The Magistrates of Devonshire have adopted so rigid a system of economy, that they have reduced the county expenditure from 20,0001. per annum to 16,0001. The expenses for the county of Wilts defrayed from the county rates, for the year 1829, amounted to 15,7281. 14s. 7d. The expenses of prosecutions at the assizes and sessions were 1,6001. 16s. 9d. Yesterday the new road in St. James's Park, leading from Storey's-gate to the new entrance in St. James's street, Westminster, was opened to the public. The first carriage entered the moment the guns were fired in ho hour of his Majesty's natal day. ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY.—The ballot for the officers and for the council took place on Thursday, at the rooms of the ticeltural Society in Regent-street. The Mar quis of Lansdowne was elected president, James Mor rison, Esq. treasurer, and N. A. Vigor., Esq. the secre tary ; Joshua Brooks, Esq. G. B. Greenough, EN. Sir Robert Heron, Bart. James Morrison, Esq. and the Earl of Winchilsea, were elected into the council, in the room of the Earl of Egremont, Sir Everard Home, Bart. R. C. Jenkinson, Esq. the Marquis of Lothian, and the Earl of Mountcharles. A most feeble opposition to the above was attempted by Mr. Haviland Burke, who most industriously distributed his list, elegantly printed on pink paper, which was defeated by the good sense of the meeting, and the majority was triumphant. THE KING. The statement which has appeared, that a difference ci opinion existed between the medical advisers of his MA- J Err Y, as to the disorder with which lie is afflicted, and its treatment, is incorrect. The most cordial agreement has uniformly existed between the Phvsiciins during the entire period of the KING'S illness, both as respects the disorder itself, and the treatment of it.--The Duke of WELLINGTON had an audience of his MAJESTY en Wednesday.—The medical gentlemen signed the Dv/ft , - tin yesterday morning, which described the sympt•lin., of the Kiwo's malady as having been mitigated. Sir NI A 'THEW TIERNEY left the Palace soon after i I o'clock. and returned in the evening about seven o'clock.—Earl AMHERST attended for Lord ST. HELENS, as Lord-in- Waiting, at the King's Pala ce , S t . J ames ' s , i n t h e f u ll Household dress, in honour of his MAJErry's birth-day. The lion. Mr. Tow NSIIENr) was the Groom-in-Waiting. THE KING'.fHEALTH. (From the lifedical Gazette. of May 8.) Nothing can be more contradictory, or probably for the most part more incorrect, than the rumours in circulation with regard to the state of His Majesty. AVe have reason to believe that the statement lately made In the newspapers, that the disease was angina pectoris, is wholly unfounded. This form of complaint our readers arc aware is one dread by excruciating agony in the region of the heart, and dread of instant death,—a species of suffering which we are happy in believing his Majesty has been spared. Neither, we ima gine, is there any 'ground for the idea that effusion has taken place into the chest. Such an occurrence would give rise to permanent difficulty of breathing, whereas the impediment of the function assumes an intermittent form, coming on in paroxysms, during which the heart's action is irregular. At other times—and that is during the intervals—the breathing is quiet and the pulse natural We understand, too, that his Majesty is able to lie on the back as well as on either side, circumstances strongly militating against the idea of hydrothorax. Considerable doses of Hoffmatt's anodyne and opiates have been administered, which would imply that his medical attendants regard the affection as of a spasmo4lic character. These have afforded considerable relief, generally producing free perspiration. While any irregularity in the heart's action and any impediment to the function of breathing continue, it would be absurd to say that the case can be free from danger, or that the risk of sudden change is not to be kept in mind. At the same time there is no evidence afforded by any thing which has become known that organic disease --if present at all—has occurred to such an extent as necessarily to lead to an unfavourable termination. The public have an idea that organic disease of the heart is Incompatible with life.; whereas indi. viduala may, and often do, live for many years after extensive changes of structure have occurred. Yesterday was the (lay appointed for the celebration of HIS MAJESTY'S birth-day : the usual demonstrations of rejoicing took place. The KING'S Guard mounted guard on the parade in St. James's-park, in their new clothing, with the bands of the three Regiments of Guards, in their state dresses : the state colours of the regiment from which the guard was composed were used. The three bands played " God save the King." The Judges and King's Counsel appeared in their state robes, in honour of the day, at Westminster-hall. The Tower and Park guns fired a double Royal salute at one o'clock. A number of grand entertainments were given to cele brate the event. The Duke of CEA BENCE gave a grand dinner at his residence at Bushy Park, to all the members of the Royal Family. The Princess AUGUSTA, the Duke and Duchess of GLOCESTER, and Prince LEOPOLD, left town, soon after five o'clock, for Bushy Park. The Duke of WELLINGTON, as First Lord of the Treasury, entertained the Lord Chancellor, the Lord President of the Council, the Lord Privy Seal, the Earls of WESTMORLAN 0, VERU LA M, and LONSDA LE, Lord BEXLEY, and a party of members of the House of Peers, at Apsley-house. The Earl of ABERDEEN, as Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, gave a grand dinner at Argyll-house to the Foreign Ambassadors and Ministers. Sir G. MtT RUA Y, as Secretary of State for the rolo nial Department, entertained the President of the Board of Control, the Commander of the Forces, the Master General of the Ordnance, the Lords of the Admiralty,lthe Secretary at War, the Military Secretary to the Com mander in Chief, the Adjutant and Quartermaster-Gene ral, the Lieutenant-General and Clerk of the Board of Ordnance, the Secretary to the Master-General, and the Governor of the Royal Military College at Sandhurst. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER gave a grand dinner at his residence in Downing-street, to the Presi sident and Vice-President of the Board of Trade, the Se cretary of State for Ireland, the Speaker of the house of Commons, the Lords of the Treasury, the Chairman and Deputy Chairman of the East India Company, the Governor and Deputy Governor of the Bank of England, the Chairman of the Committee of the House of Com mons, the Chairman of the Commissioners of Stamps, the Chairman and Deputy Chairman of the Commis sioners of Customs, the Chairman of the Commissioners of Ta,:ee, the Deputy Chairman of the Commissioners of Excise, he Right Hon. Sir G. Hill, Mr. Planta, &c. The Duke of MONTROSE, as Lord Chamberlain, en tertained the noblemen and gentlemen in his department. The Duke of LEEDS, as Master of the horse, enter tained the Equerries and Aides-de-camp of his MAJ EST Y. The itlaryuis of WEN c HESTER, as Groom of the Stole, gave a dinner to the Lords and Grooms of the Bedchamber. The Fnt•:Nctt AmeAssA butt had a conference with the Dt:kc of WELLINGTON and the Earl of ABEILDLEN, at the Foreign-office yesterday. Despatches were sent off from the Colonial-office on Thursday night, to Sir JAMES KEMPT, the Governor of the Canatlas. CIIRISTIAN BIGAMY.—We believe that no repeal has yet taken place of that Act of the Diet of Nurem berg, passed on the 14th of February, 16.50, which per mitted Christains to wed two lawful wives, as a means of replacing the waste of human life which had been oc casioned by the thirty year's war and pestilential casual tier•—Court Journal. SOCIETA Aniilol4lcA—The third musical meeting of this Society of Amateurs took place on Thursday evening in the great concertt room in the Freemasons' Tavern. In the absence of Mr. Mori, who was obliged to attend at the opera, Mr. Wagstaff led the orchestra, every depart , ment of which was efficiently supplied by professional and amateur performers. One of Beethoven's best sympho nies was well executed, and elicited great applause. Few other instrumental pieces had been selected for the even ing. The defect of such an arrangement is becoming too prevalent at our English concerts. Among the few on Thursday, however, we must not pass unnoticed a fanta sia by Mr. Nicholson, of his own composition, in some passages of which he displayed his best powers of execu tion. The vocal performers were Madame Stockhausen, Miss H. Cawse, Messrs. De Begnis, Maddox, and Begrez. The ladies appeared in solos and in concerted pieces, and were much applauded : the fOgnori seemed to give equal satisfaction. The audience Was very numerous and highly respectable. *• !' .4 nm Y. iLv 5. T.tc. Royal Artillery, Ring's Dragoon Guards, .56u: :md tithh Ite:,Mvms, had a review at Newcastle, yesterday. Major.tien.
