The meeting convened at Portsmouth, to consider of a petition to Parliament in favour of the Catholic Claims, was appointed to be held at the Beneficial Society's Hall. When the clamour began, to ad journ to the square, the room was not full; but as the partiA clamouring continued to interrupt the business, the Mayor at lengli, on a show of hands both ways, and observing that it was doubtful which were in the greatest number, adjourned to the square. The adjournment to_ the open air, and to a place some little distance from the hall, brought, of course, an accession of numbers to the meeting; and by the time waggons were obtaine4 to accommodate the speakers, they were increased, by boys and persons about the streets, considerably.

There is, I believe, no Professor of Logic, though Oxford boasts at this moment of one of the best logicians of any age or any country (Dr. Whateley).—There is a Professor of Modern Lan guages—as if they could be all taught by one man. Altogether, the machinery seems as if it were in tended to teach as much as possible of what is use less, and as little as possible of what is useful. Even the Professors are beginning to open their eyes, and I have heard from them honest confessions that the whole system of instruction is not what it ought to be. Truly, when a parent submits to the enormous charge which the University education of a son entails upon him, he has a right to expect not only that he shall learn much, but that what- he learns shall be excellent,—that it shall serve him in the daily walks of life,—that he shall be taught vir tue and activity, and true knowledge,—that his bad habits shall be eradicated, his good habits encou raged,—that his health and strength of body shall be attended to, as well as his health and strength of mind. All this makes education : without it all is imposture and false pretence--a bubble which, how ever. fine its colour may be, and however lofty its flight, will be broken by a straw, or dissipated by a gust, leaving nothing behind. It is certain that a new state of things is coming on us. A better and a cheaper education will be soon attainable elsewhere than can be found within the walls of these monkish institutions, which have hardly taken one forward step sinee the dark ages, and which retain their influence solely by the old delusions which attach to them, by the bribes they offer in presentations and patronages, and by the ho nours and titles they confer. The delusions will vanish with the progress of time : the honorary titles will be estimated at their worth when they are denied to better men than those who obtain them ; the bribes and the lucre will remain to tempt and satisfy those who are dead to the call of honourable fame. But perhaps ere this, some great reform will be effected:. Oxford and Cambridge will be acted on by the temper of the times; they will improve while every thing else is improving. Dissenters, Catholics, and Jews, being admitted to the seats of legislation, will be admitted too to the seats of learn ing; absurd restrictions and abominable oaths will no longer bar out half the community ; and Eng land, availing herself of Odle talents and virtues of all her children, will become, what she has never yet been, in the noblest sense, a truly great, united, and glorious nation. To this, indeed, all things are tending. The pre miums upon one set of opinions, the drawbacks upon another, are being grduallv abolished. Some sre yielding to the vigorous interference of legislato rial power; others are slowly undermined by discus sion. Even in the strong holds of monopoly there are pillars that tremble. The fierceness of bigotry is followed by faintness of heart. In the lower de partments of education, the more monstrous abuses look in vain for defenders. The Quarterly Review has handed over the fagging system to execration ; and what if Oxford should return a Pro-Catholic Member! There will be only a few more miracles to be wrought, Lora Eldon is already one of a long-since departed generation. He seems the only one left of the old race that can put ten words of English intelligibly together; and if he had Tint learnt this when a young man, from briefs and pleadings, he would cut as poor a figure as the ram-. Robert Peel was the last glimmering of the lamp of intolerance; it is now gone out in a noisome snuff. OXPORD UNIVERSITY ELECTION. By G. A. Tl-103IPSON, f:sq. I ate Secretary to his Britannic Majesty's Mexican Com mission, and Commissioner to Report to his Majesty's Government on the State of the Central Republic. John Murray, Albemarle-street. TO THE CHAIRMAN OF SIR R. H. INGLIS'S COMMITTEE, OXFORD. We are not in posses.sion of the number of Members of Convocation at the present moment, but we suppose they are somewhat about the same as in IS2B. Last year there The addition of these persons changed, in a great measure, the character of the meeting ; and the-as semblage in front of the waggon, where the Mayor took his station and the speakers, was almost entirely composed of the working classes and boys. On the show of hands, it was doubtful which had the majority, and then came the division right and left : the Mayor decided that the amendment was carried, but at the time of the division there were three or four waggons full of persons who never dis mounted, arid who were therefore not reckoned at all; and such was the uproar and confusion occa sioned by the division, that it was quite impossible to obtain a more regular proceeding, to obtain the sense of the meeting, and especially of that portion of the meeting which ►eally constituted the persons entitled to attend it. There were persons from various places, from Gosport, &c., and one of the speakers for the amend ment was a Dissenting Minister from that place. [We have received the Hampshire Telegraph of this day, which contains about three columns and a halfof the speeches delivered at the meeting. Though of considerable interest, we are sorry that we have not room for their insertion.

P.S.—ln reply to Dr. and Mr. —, Mr. James retains a respectful remembrance of Dr. -. , and would willingly, therefore, not use towar,ls him a single discour teous word : he cannot, however, help saying, that Dr. appears to him to have been betrayed into an almost as great a deviation from decorum and discretion as Mr. himself; in the first place, in taking the liberty to interfere with ISIr. James's mind at all on the present cc casion ; and, in the second place, in obtruding for argu ment a morsel of inanity about the principles of Jewell, Hooker, Jackson, Rogers, &c., with the addition of a most ill-judged, not to say indecent, and, fur such a purpose, almost ludicrous reference to the memory of a late amiable anti estimable head of a house. How do Dr. and Mr. know in what manner those respectable divines would have acted under existing circumstances? Because they themselves remain insensible to the progress of time and to the lessons of experience, have they a right, there fore, to assume that those worthies would have done the same ? or that, like themselves, they would have been so unhappy as to mistake a particular application of princip!e under particular cirsumstances for the whole and entire essence of principle itself ? Mr. James's opinion is, that Mr. Peel, by his late con duct, has proved himself to be as stanch as ever, and a more discerning friend than ever he was, to the Church of England and the Protestant cause ; and that Mr. and the churchmen of his, stamp are really, however igno rantly and innocently, doing all they can to weaken and undermine, if not pull violently down, the honoured esta blishment of the Reformation, by creating an imrression or confirming an impression too generally prevalent, as if the pillars of reason, and conscience, and truth, upon which it was originally laid, had positively rotted underneath it, and as if nothing now- remained but a mere baseless mass of ostentation and corruption, only held together by a sor did tissue of anile prejudices and impotent passions ; which however, is by no means the case, since the body, how ever partially disordered and distressed, retains within itelf its pristine spirit still, and in the present trial is criti cally struggling to throw off that which, above all things else, encumbers and disables it, (for I hold that the restric tions upon the Roman Church are become bonds of energy to that church, and of debility solely to our own,) and so disengaged to rise into a new,—not entirely new neither, such having been its nature from the beginning, but into a renewed and improved, and nsore nobly developed aspect, aid figure, and character, of grace and virtuous strength and glory. Love—war—a tempest—surely there's variety; Also a seasoning slight of lucubration— A bird's eye view too of that wild saciety— A slight glance thrown on men of every station." Don Juan.

Sir WALTER SCOTT.-As a specimen of the notes in the new edition of the novels, we may quote one on " the Kind Gallows of Crieff," mentioned in Waverley. " This celebrated gibbet was, in the memory of the last generatiQn, still standing at the western end o the town of Crieff, in Perthshire. Why it was called the hind gallows, we are unable to inform the realer with certainty; but it is alleged that the Highlanders used to touch their bonnet.' as they passed a place which had been fatal to many of their countrymen, with the ejaculation— ' God bless her nain sell, and the Teil tamn you !' It may therefore have been called kind, as being a sort of native or kindred place of doom to those who suffered there, as in fulfilment of a natural destiny."—Literary Gazette. On Friday, John Fullerton, Esq. advocate, presented his Majesty's letter to the Court of Session, (the whole Judges sitting in the First Division), appointing him a Judge of that Court, itt room of the Hon. John Clerk, Lord Eldin, resigned. After the letter was read, Mr. Ful lerton retired as Lord Probationer, along with Lord Core house, to the Outer House to hear an ordinary action, which he afterwards reparted, and, on Tuesday, he took the oaths and his seat, taking the designation of Lord Ful lerton.— Tipperary Free Press. THE LAST NEW BULL.—A correspondent informs us that lately, travelling in a stage coach with two strangers, one of them from the Green isle, the conversa tion turned on the West-port murders. It then diverged to the various schemes for supplying the dissecting table, body stealing, selling, importing, bequeathing, &c. when the Hibernian remarked " that no method of supply could be so horrible, as that of taking living people before they were dead." Lately died, at Sutton-in-Ashfleld, near Mans field, Mrs. Hall, a widow ►ady, of that place : she had a son, an officer in the army, and who was stationed in the East Indies, 171,n , h e died : the old lady had in her pos session several letters from this her son, which she care fully kept ,until a short time before her death, when she put them into the hands of an antiquated lady, a particular acquaintance, with a solemn injunction that she should place them in her (Mrs. Hall's) coffin : whe❑ her death taking place, the female confidant forgot her pledge until the funeral was over, and then recollecting it, she became very miserable : fortunately, however, in the course of last week, an old man, named John Gregory, who had been letter-carrier between Mansfield and Sutton for more than forty years, quitted this mortal stage ; and the old lady, being informed of the event took the letters she had in charge to the deceased's house, with a particular request (and which was readily complied with) that they should be put into the defunct postmaster's coffin, remarking that " as John Gregory had always been very faithful and trusty when living, she could not entertiin the least doubt that he would be equally diligent in the delivery of these letters to her deceased friend, in the other world ;" and having seen them safely deposited in John's coffin, she returned home, happy that she had, though late, redeemed the pledge she had so solemnly given ! Doncaster Gazette. LOVE OF nowEßs.--The love of flowers seems a naturally implanted passion, without any alloy or debasing object as a motive : the cottage has its pink, its rose, its polyanthus; the villa its geranium, its dahlia, and its clematis; we 'cherish them in youth, we admire them in declining days ; hut, perhaps, it is the early flowers of spring that always bring with them the greatest degree of pleasure, and our affections seem immediately to expand at the sight of the first opening blossom under the sunny wall or sheltered bank, however humble its race may be. In the long and sombre months of winter our love of nature, like the buds of vegetation, seems close and torpid ; but, like them, it unfolds and reanimates with the opening year, and we welcome our long-lust associates with a cordia lity that no other season can excite, as friends in a fore;gn clime. The violet of autumn is greeted with none of the love with which we hail the violet of spring ; it is unsea sonable ; perhaps it brings with it rather a thought of me lancholy than of joy ; we view it with curiosity, not affec tion : and thus the late is not like the early rose. It is not intrinsic beauty or splendour that so charms us ; for the lair maids of spring cannot compete with the grander matrons of the advanced year ; they would he unheeded, perhaps lost, in the rosy bowers of anunner and of autumn: no ; it is our first meeting with a bug-lost friend, the re viving gins of a natural affection, that so warms us at this season : to maturity they give pleasure, as a harbinger of the renewal of lite, a signal of awakening nature, or of a higher promise ; to youth, they are expanding being, opening years, hilarity, and joy.—Journal of a Waturalist, Sir,—ln answer to your circular, I beg to say that I shall experience the greatest possible satisfaction in voting for Mr. Peel, who, to my mind, has proved himself by his late conduct more than ever worthy to be the representa tive of the noble University of Oxford—the eye and heart of the Protestant world—on account of the splendid mani festation which be has made of the intrinsic integrity, im partiality, and disinterestedness of his character, and of his will and his power to sacrifice every selfish and every per sonal consideration to the unbiassed exercise of his own judgment, and the unreserved possession of his own con science ;—on account, also, of the larger views which he has gained by dint of the most ardous, scrupulous, and painful deliberation, by which means he has drawn nearer to the standard of sound orthodoxy, and has drunk deeper into the genuine aboriginal spirit of Protestantism and of the Church of England ; which I apprehend to have been, and to be, a spirit of reason, liberty, and truth, breathing free thoughts, and by free means, which it recognizes as the only means, wishing to communicate to others its own tree things, but neither suffering nor employing force, as utterly irreconeileable with conviction,—very different from that narrow, uncandid, grudging, and oppressive spirit, boasting itself of the very essence of Protestantism and of the church, lint which I verily believe to be nothing better—and to be, indeed, nothing more—than the old bad spirit of Popery, under a new form, and to be itself A part at least of that very anti-Christian abomination, against which it so clamorously and desperately rails and roars. I regard the •removal of these restrictions from the Roman Church as the removal of her swathing-bands from our own church, which she has continued to wear far be yond the age that required them, to the detriment both of her health and her reputation, and released from which she will begin rightly to feel, and to know, and to exert, and maintain herself, and walking at large with an inde pendent step and an animated eye, and looking up trust ingly and cheerily to God her Lord, and ministering be fore him with her reasonable and comely service, and cordially applying herself to her own proper business, will soon taste a security, and win a popularity, and enjoy a degree of spiritual prosperity, to which she has been too long, and, alas! too deservedly a stranger. , I have the honour to be, Sir, your very obedient humble servant, MAURICE JAMES, 8.D., Senior Clerical Fellow of Corpus Christ College. 2, Spring-terrace, Richmond, Feb. 20. OXFORD. Oxford is a specimen of beautiful barbarism. No more extensive and interesting assemblage of Gothic architecture is any where to be found, and, if one could be satisfied by dwelling upon what is old, re nerable, and striking, it would not be easy to turn away the eyes or the thoughts from the main street of this extraordinary city. Yet a more attentive observation would show that the spirit of Oxford is about entemporaneous with its renowned edifices. It would be easy to fancy—and there would be little of fiction in the fancy—that the temper of the 15th and 16th centuries still dwelt within these antique walls; and true it is, that while education every where else has been acted on by civilization, and forced forward by " the march of mind," here, here alone, the usages of ancient days have stagnated into permanence, and the proceedings of the Convocation are not very different from what they would have been had" Reginald Pole, Cardinal and Archbishop of Canterbury," still occupied the Chancellor's chair. The same formalities—the same absurdities—the same dull, dry, dead " letter of the law"—while the fresh and vernal " spirit" of inquiry and instruction scarcely ever intrudes upon the dormant, rosy cheeked, well-beneficed, and thoroughly satisfied Magnates who wear the honours of this illustrious place. Let any man visit the great collections of litera ture here: the wonderful Bodle'a 1, for instance. Ile will find it a vast solitude, with scarce an in truder. He will see there more librarians than stu dents, an innumerable quantity of books, and no readers at all, unless now and then a wanderer stray in, who wants to elucidate some point of history—to examine some curious MS.—or to feed some other li terary desire. Into some of the departments no one ever seems to penetrate. Who goes to learn maxims of Government—to read Bentham or Montesquieu ? —who to study philosophy in the writings of Vattel, Melting, or Duponceau P—who to learn botany, turning over the pages of De Condole, Jussien, or Humboldt—history, from the modern historians-- from the impugners, the destroyers of the authority of Mit fords and flumes P—Not a soul. On such subjects there ure no examinations—for such ac quirements there are no honours ; but he is the man of men who knows all the refinements of and 7o:;,,the delicacies of et and que, and the recondite mysteries of a and x, When the mind is crammed with matters like these, education is said to be completed. Of many other things there are unhonoured Professors. Political economy has an estimable one, whose published lectures do him high honour ; there is a Botanical Professor, of whom 1 e,ei learn nothing ; a " Reader" on Mineralogy and Cirtoiogy (11 Wish he had us many hearers 1 , 8 he de- NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. . PORTSMOUTH, FEB. 21.—The Volage of 2$ gun s Captain Seymour, .arrived in 64 days from Rio de Janeiro, on Monday last. She brings home silver and platina on merchants' account, to the value of about 160,0001. She left the Ganges, Thetis, Sap phire, and Adventure there, as well as two French men-of-war, and two American men-of-war. A Dutch frigate had just left the coast for the West Indies. The following are recent promotions and appointments :—Lieutenant Fitzroy to be Com mander of the Beagle, vice Stokes, deceased ; Lieut. Langford, of the Sapphire, to the Ganges; Mr. D. Otway, Midshipman of the Alert-, to the Sapphire ; Mr. Kemp, of the Ganges, to the Beagle; Mr. Murray, Second Master, late acting in the Ranger, to the Beagle ; Mr. J. Wilson, to be Surgeon of the Beagle. The Volage came into harbour on Tuesday. The Pallas frigate, Captain Fitzclarence, recently escorted as far as Madeira, and left her to proceed to Rio Janeiro, a Danish ship, having on board 400 of the Portuguese Refugees front Plymouth. On the return of the Pallas to the Island of Terceira, about the Bth inst., she found there the Shannon frigate, Captain Clement, from this port, which ship, it was supposed, would send the Ranger on to Jamaica. The Onyx, 10, Lieutenant Boteler, arrived on Thursday from Gibraltar, which place she left on the 6th. The fever had wholly abated, and a free communication was to take place on the 13th. Gen. Don had nearly recovered from his late severe indis position. Captains Brown and Fielding, of the 23d, and Lieutenant Widrington, of the 73d, came passengers. Tile Nimrod, 18, Commander S. Radford, arrived at Plymouth, on Monday night, having returned from cruizino. off Terceira, in consequence of her main-mast being sprung. She left there the Pallas, 42, Captain Fitzclarence, on the Ist inst. The Nim rod was accompanied by the St. Lucia, Portuguese schooner, with fifty refugees on hoard, which vessel sailed from Plymouth on the 10th January, and not being permitted to land them at Terceira, she has returned to England. The William Harris transport, Lieutenant Ste phens, agent, arrived on Tuesday, from Antigua ; she brings Captain Tompkin, of the 35th Regiment, and a few women and children passengers, and about 300 tons of returned stores, which she is ordered to deliver in the River. The islands were healthy, but we are sorry to find that the want of rain had injury the sugar crop. The estates generally were not ex pected to yield more than half their usual number of hogsheads. The transport John Bushman, under the charge of Lieut. Thompson, Mr. Lawson, master, and the transport Amity, Lieut. Lester, agent, arrived here on Thursday, from Corfu, Malta, and Gibraltar, bringing invalids from the Fleet in the Mediterra nean, and the widows and children of deceased offi cers aid soldiers from Gibraltar. The 'Melville, 74 guns, and the Volage, 28 guns, will be paid off on Wednesday or Thursday. They will both be re-commissioned. A Court Martial was held on board his Ma►jesty's ship Victory (flag ship), on Monday, upon Lieut. \Vood, and the officers of his Majesty's late schoo►►er Nightingale, for the loss of that vessel on the Shingles. Lieutenant Wood, the Commander, was reprimanded, the Second Master rendered incapable of serving as Second Master for 12 months, and the Pilot mulcted of his pay, and rendered incapable of again serving his Majesty.

On Saturday, at the Old Bailey Sessions, a boy of the name of Catholic, after having stood his trial, was ordered to be set at liberty, upon which ➢lr. Charles Philips observed, " There gOes the first of the emanci pated Catholics." A case came on before the Tribunal of Com merce at Paris, last week, in which M. Giovanni Genero was plaintiff, and M. Laurent, the Director of the Italian Opera and of the English Theatre in Paris, was defendant. The plaintiff averred that he had been engaged by M. Laurent, with the consent of M. Lanari, manager of the theatre at Florence, to whom he was under articles to take the part of principal tenor at Paris, at a salary of 5,000! for 14, weeks, and that he had arrived in the French capital on the 15th Dec. last in consequence. The part of Ramiro, in " La Cerentola," bring assigned to him for his debut, he demanded 15 days to perfect himself in it, never having performed it - before. This was granted ; but his success not equalling the expectations of M. Laurent, that manager submitted to the musical committee whether he should not him fur incompetency. The reply which he referred to the physician of ;11:aee sin justified establishment theg nienadtiisvn whether on the recent traces of the small- p ox , exhibited by M. Genero, were not a sufficient obstacle to preclude his admission to the beards. The answer was a second time unfavourable to his views, on which M. Laurent tool arbitrarily dismissed him on the plea that he was un able to perform his part without fifteen rehearsals. Having been thus brought all the way from Italy, and now left without resources, in furnished apartments at the Hotel de Malthe, M. Geller() contended that he was entitled to the full enforcement of the contract. On M. Laurent's part, it was alleged that the Counsel on the opposite side had strangely distorted facts ; that M. Gencro had been em :gbietloNrveasa t l l ' i a a l t .i s e i n an l a r a g u e d a i e s n a t l •e ar ; y e a t s ) d s, o o l o l o th f i r s an u es le a r i - i engaged as a first-rate tenor- s i n g er , ca p a ble of app ear i ng a s t s a s n u tl i ( il l been agreed upon ; whereas, in fact, that gentleman, though be might be able to sing a lithe, could not act at all, and had been moat unmercifully hissed through the whole part of Ramiro, which lie had taken above a fortnight to study. Further, it was argued that the plaintiff was not prepared in the parts sung by first tenors, not even in those specifically council to him, of :deli the character in questioo had been one ; and that if ,ins. G. was to have fifteen rehearsals, or rather lessons, every time he had to sing in a nee , part, it was evident that he could not perform above twice in a mot,th, and would get the whole eight thousand francs for half .a (I, zen appearances. It was perfectly dear that a deception had been passed upon the llanagemeut, which, therefore, now demanded to he released from its bargain. _The Court, at tee some consultation, ordered the affair to b'e - referred to t the arbitration of NI.
