OXFORD UNIVERSITY ELECTION. In consequence of the paramount interest at tending this Election, we have made such ar ungt,ments as w ill ena bl e us t hi s even i ng to g i ve , bY txpress, in a Second Edition, the entire proceedings of the day at Oxford, together with the close of the 11 pe . By extraordinary exertions we were again -enabled to give yesterday,in a Third Editon, the whole of the day's proceedings at the Oxford . Election, and by dispatching expresses after the mails at a late hour, to c o ----- y ..Ye the intellignie,to most parts of England, Scotland, and Ireland. t' The defeated Brunswickers being bea t en at every point, and reduced to the lowest state of despon dency, have, as a last resort, had recourse to a roost ingenious system of manufacturing Anti-Catho lic Petitions. Thinking themselves not sufficiently degraded by the support of the Morning Journal— though such a depth of degradation ought, We conceive, to be quite enough to satisfy a ll reasonable being,--they have actually applied to two convicted felons, who, with a pa trliaticcondescension pecitlially to be admired, have affixed their signatures to a late notorious Ascend ancy petition. This, we presume, .was by way of " h ancing its respectability. In other parts the ;acne respectable means have been adopted with a quesuccess. In one place old women, in another school-boys, in a third school-girls, have been zealously canvassed for their support and persuaded to sign petitions, whose object, they were artfully in formed, was to relieve them from. the persecutions of the Pope, the Papists, and the devil. Really there is something in such chicanery so truly con temptible, as of itself to annihilate the cause of Intolerance. But not only is it contemptible; k is worse—much worse ;—it is a solemn toockery of one of the greatest constitutional P t itileges of Englishmen--a satire upon justice that 41t ant be too strongly deprecated. When CA !"101114, wished to offer an affront to the Roman eit ate, he could think of no method se effectual as • 414 ing . his horse a Consul. The Branswickers have 'Proved upon this hint, and instead of horses, have set up asses as politicians, and taught them to insult the Legislature, by petitioning for a system of exduSion, of which not one in a hundred knows th e Meaning. We trust, however, that all such P e titions will meet with appropriate consideration. The following are extracts from the Allgemeine Z e it un g. to the 22d instant,received this morning:— WARSAW, FEB. 9.

The French Journals are still of little importance la the ivay . of information. The Constitutionnel, in deed. - 44 a. paragraph, with the sounding title of itl4 ' 4l itical news of high importance," states I,t - 44 4: other things, that " a treaty of alliance, i t:ll4ll4 )re and defensive, has been concluded be -Itussi4 and Prussia; and that . another "er•'solicited to, maintain an armed neutrality Z t 4l ll , 1 00,000 Men, has acceded to that proposal," 114 ( 1 8 that there is a report that " the Army of ii %- tfr . l ° ! e as under the command of Marshal Maisos, "'" er ftisecl . to- 25,000 men." This.news, imever, bears little or no evidence of authenticity : it looks more like a random ion of a dashing Parisian Journalist, than a ?ober grave fact. With .regard to the last assertion, in particular, it happens unfortunate!) , for its correctness, that so far from being reinforced, the French army in the Morea is on the eve of its return home. The other French Journals afford no food for comment. :Sir ROBERT INGLIS is, we learn, nearly exhausted. From far and wide, from East to West, from North to South, from every spot, no matter how remote or uncivilised, where a tabernacle has ventured to rear its head, or the twang of a strolling fanatic has elec trified his congregation, the supporters of the worthy Baronet have rushed in droves to the poll. Not a bigot at Oxford has escaped a canvass ; M.A.'s have.been roused from their chapel slumbers, and D.D.'s from the discussion of their wine, yet all without avail; intolerance has done her utmost, and is already beginning to despond. With regard to the majority for Sir R. INGLIs that appears in our columns of to-day, it is one very easily accounted for. Ills Committee had made it a point of policy to take the field with a vast numerical force, to be foremost in the display of an overwhelming influ ence, and thus to impress on the Liberals the hope lessness of even attempting a resistance. Such inameuvres would not have been without ingenuity had they been at all appropriate to the case, but un luckily the Committee proceeded on wrong data. They calculated too much on their own adroitness, and too little on that of their opponents, and in thus attempting to carry the Election by a coup-de-main, will, we trust, find themselves egregiously mistaken. But should there be any nervous spirits among the supporters of Mr. PEEL, on whom his oppo nent's specious majority has made an impression; we would implore them to throw aside their doubts—to hasten frons the Slough of Despond—and come boldly forward to the Poll. Every hour, every minute, is now of value. There is no time left for vacillation; the season demands decision—prompt, unequivocal decision. What will the more lightened public think of Oxford if her former Re presentative be rejected—rejected, too, for the most meritorious act he ever yet performed—for that act which will hand down the name of PEEL, the Emancipator, to posterity, when PEEL the In tolerant, is forgotten ? Does the University think to acquire lustre from the pamphleteer ing and oratorical celebrity of an INGus ? Alas, it is already forgotten, or remembered only to furnish materials for ridicule and laughter. Does it hope by his exertions to retard the progress of liberality, to roll back the wheels of thought, or say to the ad vancing tide of intellect, " thus far shalt thou go, and no farther ?" Preposterous idea! Not all the Oxfords in the universe—were there even one in every town and village in the kingdom—and were each one represented by an INGLIS, protected by an ELDON, and backed by the Boroughs and the ideas of a NEWCASTLE—not all these together could, for one single instant, stem that mighty torrent of im provement on whose surface the mind of England is now proudly and securely aPoat. Once fur all, then, we conjure the friends of civil and religious freedom to rally round Mr. PEEL, and to show by their support, the sense they entertain of his late sacrifices, and the detestation they feel for an absurd and idiotic bigotry. We received this morning Jamaica Papers to the 19th ult. The Courant of the 15th cont•iins the 7ollowing letter, which gives some further parti- culars respecting the capture of another slave ship by the Grasshopper:— HA VANNAII, DEC. 8. Yesterday the British sloop of war Grasshopper, brought in the Spanish Guineansan, El Firme, with four hundred and eighty-three slaves, captured off Dominique. By the treaty with England these slaves must be farmed to masters for five years, and then (for bonds are given) they are to be emancipated. The Tuscan brig arrived yesterday from Barcelona.

But why has he flinched so late? .Even from the time when the King's Speech announced the determination of the Cabinet to remove the Catholic disabilities (and the resolution was taken previously) to the present day, weeks have elapsed, and he has retained his office. If this man were sagacious, there might be something ominous in his present retire ment ; hut he is not one to foresee the coining storm. We pointed him out to suspicion long ago. The Duke will soon learn to know his friends, even without the grand touchstone—real distress : the appearance of it will suffice to chase the flies.... Times.

The following fact, which oc curred at the theatre, on Tuesday evening, will prove, 'en the part of the Catholics, patience the most extraordi nary, under circumstances that were well calculated to ex cite their passions, and inflame their indignation. In the front row of the pit, there sat a man, dressed very re spectably, who, from the moment he entered the ht.use, disturbed the audience and the actors by loud and repeated cries of " Hurrah for the Brunswickers !" Neither Mr. Calcraft, nor any other actor, could be heard for a con siderable time. In one scene, Nicol Jurvie takes up a note and bills, that drop upon the stage, and says, " These are intended for Rob Roy." Upon hearing this, the . Brunswicker stood up on the seat•, and exclaimed, " Yes, by —, the time is coming when the Brunswickers will take up bills, and every thing they like in the coun try." This insult was patiently endured, and the Bruns wiAcer continued as noisy and vociferous as before. At length Gilloughby, one of the peace officers, whose duty it is to see order observed in the theatre, came over and told the man that he was a peace officer, and that if he did not behave himself, he should leave the theatre. To this appeal the answer made was " I don't care a what you are, no peace officer shall remove me ; I would not leave this for King George the Fourth. The King is on the throne by the wish of the people, and we will tahe it from him if he does not obey them." Another peace officer here came over, and remonstrated with the Brunswicker, telling him not to be foolish and to stay quiet. The people in the gallery were indignant at the man not being immediately removed by the peace officers, and began to call to them to turn him out. Upon this the fellow turned his back to the orchestra, and defied them, saying, " you, not one of you dare turn me out." Notwithstanding this insulting language, and all the annoyance given to the audience, no man laid his hand upon the Brunswicker. They patiently and quietly endured his insolence for at least half an hour longer, when the peace officers, having obtained a rein forcement, dragged the ruffian out of the pit, and he was not again permitted to enter the house. 'File fellow who thus acted, it should not be forgotten, is one of that con federation of whom Mr: George Moore is reported to have Said, that they were joined in " an unity of spirit, an un ity o f principle, and an unity of good feeling."-- Dublin Morning Register of Thursday. CHIMNEY WEETTRs; The folluwing'eir:•ular, together with an annexed re port, was yesterday transmitted from the Home-Office, addressed to the Magistrates of the different police establish ments in the metropolis, by which it sill be perceived that Government, anxious to diminish in a considerable dugr•ee the use of climbing boys in sweeping thimnies, intends henceforth to adopt the use td . Mr. Glass's machinery in cleansing the flues of all the Royal Palaces, public-offices, official residences, public institutions, prisons, &c. From the very favourable report of the utility of Mr. Glass's invention for the purposes for which it is intended, there is little doubt the introduction of it will be general, so as to completely supersede the necessity., of having re course to that dreadful expedient of sending children up ehimnies, by which many lives have been sacrificed, a practice which has long existed, but which we are now happy to observe is about to be effectually abolished. " Whitehall, Feb. 27- " Sir,—Mr. Secretary Peel having received an applica tion from the Committee of the Society for superseding the necessity of Climbing Boys in sweeping thimnies, re commending the introduction of the use of Mr. Glass's machinery into the offices of Government and other public buildings, directed an inquiry to he made for the purpose of ascertaining whether that machinery can be safely and beneficially employed, so as to supersede, or in a consi derable degree diminish the use of climbing boys. lam now directed by Mr. Peel to transmit to you a very fa vourable report on this subject, recently transmitted to the Treasury by the Board of Works, which satisfactorily shows that Mr. Glass's machinery fully answers the pur poses for which it id intended. " I am further directed to inform you, that the Lord Chamberlain has intimated to Mr. Peel .his intention of making an•order for the use of Mr. Glass's machinery in the Royal Palaces, and that a similar order has been made for its use at the Treasury, and that Mr. Peel has given directions for the use of it at the Home-office. " I have the honour to be; Sir,' " Your moot obedient humble servant, (Signed) " S. PHILLIPS." We understand that directions will be fhrthwitli issued by the stipendiary magistrates of the metropolis, that from henceforth Mr. Glass's machinery is to be used instead of employing climbing-boys in sweeping the chimnies of the different police establishments. BELFAST THEATRE. It affords us the highest pleasure to state that our Theatre continues to receive, as it deserves, the warmest encourage ment of the public. The spirit and liberality of Mr. SEYMOUR, the manager, is conspicuous in every depart ment ; and the recent improvements in the body of the house afford considerabte scope for approbation. The per formances are generally of a very interesting character. Altogether Mr. SEYMOUR'S conduct is such as reflects credit on his management. His efforts to entertain the public are unceasing. Lust night the celebrated Miss FooTE made her debut in the character of Letitia Hardy. The plaudits which greeted her from every part of the house were perfectly enthusiastic—the Theatre literally shook with applause. This lady still retains that fascinating beauty which has gained her so much celebrity. It has rarely been our lot to witness such attractiveness in external form, united with so refined—so intellectual a taste. Of her Letitia Hardy it is impossible to speak too highly. We have not, for many years past, seen a piece of acting in genteel comedy, which evinced more tact or judgment, more good sense or good education. Her correct personation of the two cha racters i❑ which she appeared last night has impressed us with a feeling which will not be easily eradicated. Her Variella was rich—playful—animated. Miss FOOTE possesses very respectable talent as a singer. Her, " Far, far from me my lover flies," " Where are you going my pretty maid ?" and her other songs, were given with great sweetness and effect. Her dancing was light and elegant. We can scarcely determine which we admire most—her acting, singing, or dancing. • . . " What you do Still betters what is done ; when you speak, sweet ! I'd have you do it ever; when you sing, I'd have you buy and sell so ; so give alms Pray so. When you dance, I wish you A wave o' the sea that you might ever do Nothing but that. Each your doing So singular in each particular Crowns what you're doing in the present deeds, That all your acts are queens." We congratulate our theatrical visiters on the opportu nity now afforded them of witnessing the correct enact ment of English comedy during the stay of Miss FOOTE, and we have only to regret that her visit cannot be pro longed. We anticipate a rich treat in the Rosalind and Maria Darlington of this lady.—Be fast Paper, Feb. 24. OXFORD ELECTION. OXFORD, FEBRUARY• 27. The polling opened this morning at nine o'clock. There was a rush at the opening of the doors, and though it ova:: nothing compared ‘lith yesterday, the cmistables were driven ha. k from the doors with violence, and the Hull was in a few minutes very much crowded. There were no preliminary cere monies observed on the occasion, but as soon as the Vice-Chancellor took his seat the polling com menced with great briskness. For the better showing the spirit with which the Election was.kept up, and that our readers may be able to draw their own conclusions, we have taken the State of the Poll at - the interval of every quarter of an hour, from the commencement till the close of the day's poll. It will be recollected, that at the close of the poll yesterday, the numbers were— Sir R. Inglis Mr. Peel 268 • Majority —4.3 • SECOND (THIS) DAY'S POLL. Quarter-past Nine. Majority.

Inglis Peel ... 194 184-10 At this stage of the poll Mr. Short, Censor of Christ Church, moved on behalf of Mr. Peel's friends that the Vice-Chancellor would be pleased to ad journ polling for half an hour, to suit their conve nience. Mr. HENDERSON, of Brazennose, and Mr. GRIEVES, of Queen's, on behalf of Sir Robert Inglis's friends, objected to the motion. On re ferring to the Acts of Parliament, they contended that after the poll had once been opened the returning officer was bound to continue the polling for at least seven hours, between eight a. tn., and eight p. m., every subsequent day, until the elec tion was brought to a conclusion; that it was com petent for the returning officer to adjourn from day to day, but that he had not the power of ad journing. after the poll was once opened, on any day until it had been kept open for at least seven hours. Mr. SHORT submitted that the returning officer was not fettered in this way by the true construc tion of the Act of Parliament. He had the power at discretion of adjourning the poll at any period of the day, and for any time, provided it was kept open for seven hours within the twelve. Mr. HENDERSON observed that there was no express power whatever granting such discretion. It was clear that the Vice-Chancellor would be correct in the discharge of his duty (lid he keep the poll open for seven successive hours without interruption, and that to say the least of it, he would run the risk of vitiating the election altogether should be postpone the polling for either half an hour or for any other period.—(Loud cries of hear, hear, from Sir Robert Inglis's voters.) — The Vice-Chancellor• then declared, without giving any confident opinion on the construction of the Act of Parliament—that as the parties could not agree upon the motion, he should do that which certainly was the safest course—refuse the motion; and continue polling until half-past four o'clock.— (Loud cheers.) The polling was then resumed. One o'clock. Inglis Peel UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD, FEB. 27.—0 n Saturday last, the Rev. W. Mills B. A.

The Westminster Review - has put forth a manual for the Catholics of Ireland. It is a manual, be cause a fearless and unflinching declaration on the side of the oppressed has a claim to be in the hands of all the sufferers. If the Irish Catholics stick to those arguments by the agency of such mouth-piers as they can send into the House of Commons, they will wonderfully perplex the operations of their opponents. The truth is, the people of England are finding out that the cause of the Irish Catho lics is strongly connected with their own. They are par ticularly sore on the question of disfranchising the forty shilling freeholders, because they see no reason why they should not themselves be disfranchised next, or the first time they use their votes to the displeasure of the existing Ministry.,—Publin Morning Post.

Intelligence of this was instantly sent to Glasgow, and in all directions, but at the moment at which we write nothing had been obtained which could throw any light on this mysterious affair. As the poor woman was wholly incapable of rising out of bed, her disappearance is a subject of the most serious alarm, and has excited the greatest agitation in the neighbeurhird.— Glorspow Free Press, Feb. 25.
