sit) hai taken is invariably adveise to the Catholic Faith— (Cries of " Surely, surely—aye, and it ever will be," with immenee uproar and commotion ; and "Break the windows, break the wintlows,' the heat and suffocation were so in supportable. ) Nor is it to be denied that one of the great motives, and which in my humble judgment and belief, of all others ought to have been so, which induced this University in former times to return Mr. Peel to Parlia ment was the course he had avowed, and which he had hitherto taken with respect to this question.—(Applause.) Neither is it to be denied that this great University upon various occasions has declared to—l had almost said in structed the Legislature what its views on this great ques tion might to be._-(hear, hear, hear.)—Sir, I come now t o a cirMunstance which took place on the sth Feb. last. It is peifeetly well known that a Convocation at that time was held here for the purpose of petitioning Parliament on this subject. Now, on that occasion it appeared to a vast majority that that petition should be presented.— (Hear, hear.)--The petition was conceived in strong but t emperete l anguage . I f ee l i t my duty to acknowledge that that petition, supported, as it was, by a very large majority, must be taken as hiving at that time spoken the ) . lens and sentiments of this majority on that important q u estion.—(Shouts of Hear, hear, hear, and very great eomenotion.)—l know, Sir, that there was attached to that petition the names of persons honourable, and entitled to the most profound respect every where, and on all occasions --names for liberality, morality, and reli gion, that stand unrivalled.—(lmmense applause, great "afttainn, and cries of Poll, poll ! which lasted for several minutes.)—lf the measures that have been now proposed had then been known to have been about to be proposed, that petition would in all probability have been post p°ued•—(Great confusi on an d uproar , w ith cr i es o f No, no, no no? Poll, poll, poll !")—(The confu si°U here contintied very peat for some minutes, amidst deafening shouts of adjourn to the Theatre, which was represented to be twice as large as the Convocation hall ; and the windows were broken with great indignation, and cries of " that' s right, that's right.") The VICE CHANCELLOR at length arose, and entreated that the meeting would show respectful conduct on this occasion. Mr. ELLISON (a gentleman apparently of great re spectability, called out from one of the outer doors.) The VI CE - CHANCELLOR—Clear the house of the Under Graduates, and make room for the Members of the Convo cation.--(Shouts of laughter and great confusion.) Dr. Dlaasnara again obtained a partial hearing, and en deavoured to proceed. Sir, Mr. Peel thought proper to tender his resignation, and in having done so, he has been ac tuated by every honest, honourable, and every proper p ri nciple--(Cries of no, no, with continued cries of " make room for the Masters! adjourn to the Theatre! and break the Windows, for this is too hot and too small.")—l cannot, ho wever, help thinking that his resignation has placed us in this very unpleasant dilemma.—(lmmense laughter, and cries of poll! poll !)--Sir, he has been tried for the last t welve yearse-and I now consider him placed upon his trial.__(Great confusion.)—That he has been actuated by the , -firmest principles of virtue, and the most honour able motive s I firmly believe, and that he will hereafter be able to prove that he has done so—(here the venerable speaker's voice was drowned in cries of Poll, poll, poll, T an d Immense uproar.) On resuming, he continued : L insist, Sir, that I consider Mr. Peel now on his trial, (deafening and repeated cries of Poll, poll, which resounded with c on!euntlingech os f r O m t h e a dj o i n i ng courts " and b a lls.

It appears to me that all the disabilities under which the Roman Catholics labour can be removed—affording at the same inns permanent security to our Protestant Religion and Institutions. (Poll, poll.) I say that I consider (Poll, poil)—this, Sir, is the time of danger to ourselves. p ear, hear.)—l cannot b ut express my h i gh satis ”inn at the manner in which this great ques tion has been discussed at this University—it h as been deliberated upon—(Cries of quite enough, quit, enough, poll, poll,)—it has been deliberated unoll with the greatest calmness--in the most dispae aimtate 'manner, and I trust that this kindly feeling wtp Continue to exist. (Cries of Poll, poll, p o ll, — "it down, sit down—we want to get home by Sunday.) I only to state, Sir, that I have not the least do u b t that the measures which Mr. Peel and his colleagues -have 'n ow roposed, (Ha! ha! ha !) will be fo un d t •P nn be that - which they have stated to be.—(Cries of 7 4 , c " 34 ---what'a your plea ?) They will be found to be quite " n utrient for the relief of the Catholics and the security a the Protestants.—(lmmense confusion, and cries of a". Have mercy on the Clergy, for we have come a great ` ce, "--Immense laughter in the hall, and confusion he m - ecnste4 u from th e outer h a ll s .. Dr. Marsharn, finding that ld not proceed any further,, sat down.) Dr. I nmost, Head of Trinity, then rose, to put in no mination Sir Robert Inglis. He made but very few ob servations, and th e cr i es o f " P o ll! p o ll " an d con f us i on were 80 great, that very few, if any, heard any t hing le said. ' He stated that what had fallen from 1) r. Marsham, so far from inducing those present to vote for Mr. Peel's re-election was as wide as the East was from the West from having any such tendency. Did they consent to elect Mr. Peel, anti the proposed measure prevailed, they might as well at once adopt the Principle of universal sufferage.—(Great applause, confu ,s6o, and cr i es o f po ll, poll.)—The Rev. Doctor then eat d own. d Mr. GraratEsToreE made an ineff e ct ua l attempt to ad s °°, r e% the M ee ti ng . I t was said he intended to have BP, against Mr. Peel's re-election, but the cries for g to Poll were so universal and powerful that he could Out proceed. The Vic e -Ch ance ll or t h en left his cha i r, too k hi s seat att the t a bl e b efore him, and the polling commenced ; it was 'tilt the b een suspended at three o'clock for an hour, to ad= oin the taking out of regencies, but this arrangement was do t Persevered in, as th ose w h o were e ntitled to regents' ; e r ce stvere permitted to t a ke them out in the Divinity ai r, whil e th e po l l was procee di ng i n t h e Convocation „ T he poll was closed for the da at six o'clock, when the -tin lbers w ere as follow : y For Sir Robert H.

LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 27, 1829. OXFORD UNIVERSITY ELECTION. In consequence of the paramount interest at- tending this Election, we have made such ar rangements as will enable us this evening to give, by Express, in Second and Third Editions, the entire proceedings of the day at Oxford, together with the close of the poll. By extraordinary exertions we were enabled to give yesterday, in a Third Edition, the whole of the day's proceedings at the Oxford Election, and by dispatching expresses after the mails at a late hour, to convey the intelligence to most parts of England, Scotland, and Ireland. Another express was sent oil at past 10 o'clock to Oxford, the Members of which University will thus be able to read at their breakfast-table the fullest accounts of what took place there only a few hours before!! There is one peculiarity about the Oxford Elec tion which cannot fail to astonish all those who are in the slightest degree acquainted with the religious leaning of that University. A strong party has been formed there for the purpose of ejecting Mr. PEEL, because, forsooth, he has compromised the Church by his recent declaration in favour of the Catholics; and yet this same party, the staunch un compromising advocates of High Church doctrines, have thought it expedient to propose Sir R. Nous, A gentleman holding Evangelical tenets, and:of course opposed in many of his opinions to the Ultra- Toryism of the Protestant Hierarchy. We must confess we are wholly unable to see our way through this glaring inconsistency : it seems to us a paradox, put forth merely in elder to display the full excellence of Oxford logic : it is one, however, which Oxford ingenuity alone can solve. As far as mental and theological qualifications are concerned, no comparison can, we conceive, be possibly instituted between the rival candidates. Mr. PEEL is a gentleman who, in all those varied classical acquirements which extort such homage at Oxford, has long since pre-eminently distinguished himself. He is an accomplished scholar, an enlightened statesman, attached to a rational and temperate constitutional form of liberty, zealously devoted to the interests of the Protestant Church, and so far removed from any grovelling notions of self aggrandizement, that he has not hesitated to descend from his station, as leader of the High Church party, because he could no longer con scientiously support an impolitic system of in tolerance. With regard to Sir It. Iscate, his qualifications as a representative for Oxford arc yet to be ascertained. He has indeed put forth a few bulky pamphlets, distinguished by their hostility to the Catholic Claims ; moreover, he has from time to time delivered himself of divers orations in the House of Commons on the same trite topic; but as the trunk-makers are the best judges of his pamphlet•, and chow. few Members who wet e awake and could understand them, of his speeches, we shall hazard no further comment on the subject ; " Come then expressive silence, muse their praise." Such being the qualifications of the two Candidates, we most earnestly entreat the Members of the Con vocation to do them proportionate justice. We en- eat.. them to call to mind Mr. PEEL'S. twelve years' devotion to their intereAts, and to consider whether such experience ought not justly to out weigh the printed and - spoken lucubrations of Sir -RonEaT INGt.ts. We entreat them also to consider th.a by supporting Mr. - PEEL they are, in fact, supporting themselves ; that his interest is closely bound up with theirs; that the present constitutional measure, which it is his policy to adopt, it is equally theirs to sanction ; and that if they now think fit to reject him, they are rejecting a friend able and willing to assist them, in favour of one who lacks the ability, however strong may be his inclination. The Debates of last night in both Houses of Par liament were more than usually animated. In the Upper House, Lord PLUNKET, in reply to some aspersions which had been levelled against him on a former occasion, with reference to the Bill for suppressing the Catholic Association, made a vigorous and masterly defence, in the course of which he glanced at Lord LONGFORD'S prophetic faculties in a way that must, we conceive, have occasioned his Lordship a few uneasy sensations. He also did justice to the character and abilities of the Bruns wick Clubs, and observed, that if there were mad Priests at the Association, there were still madder Parsons at the Orange Lodges—a remark which, without any impeachment of his discernment, 'his Lordship might very safely have extended to the Dublin Corporation. In the Lower House a fine, but peculiar specimen of eloquence was developed in the oration of Colonel WILSON, member for York. For wit, point, discrimination, aptitude of expres sion, and singular beauty of pronunciation, this delightful speech has seldom, if ever been surpassed, and will, we have no doubt, prove the source of as much entertainment to the Gallant Colonel's "Royal Master," as it did last night to the House. What a pity he is not an Emancipationist ! There is little news of any importance in the French Journals. The Message,. des Chanthres quotes an Official Bulletin from the Berlin Gazelle, respecting the taking of Kali by the Russians, and states that the English Ambassador at Paris has tlis patched an extraordinary courier to Corfu. Accounts from Berlin state, that NICHOLAS will not go to the army before the middle of April, and they do not expect the campaign to be opened be fore the beginning of May. Accounts from Lisbon state, that the King of SPAIN has decided with his Council to grant a general arntistice to the Spanish Emigrants. We receired this morning the Hamburgh Reporter to the 21st, and Dutch Papers to the 26th inst., from which we extract the following : lIAMBURGII, FEB. 20. BoRBEN-HALLS, FOUR O'CLOCK.—The return of the frost seems likely to prolong the inactivity which has for some weeks past reigned in the cern market.

On the 3d inst. there was a general meeting of all the four Estates of the Kingdom, in which the Chancellor presented a rescript of his Majesty, signifying his wish to the Estates, that the motion for presenting an estate to the young Prince (the Duke of East Gothland) might be with drawn. The Diet having stood sponsors to the young Prince, it had been intended to purchase an estate as a present to him on the occasion. CHRISTIANIA, FEB. 6. M. N. H. Knudtson, in Christiania, has published the papers relative to his dismissal from the office of British Vice-Consul in that city. It appears that M. Knudtson, notwithstanding the King's proclamation of the 7th May, had taken an active part in the celebration of the anniversary of May 17, (that of the Constitution of Eidsvold.) In a letter to Mr. Durie, the British Consul at Drontheim, who, after a conversation with Count Wetterstadt, after his suspension from office, enquired respecting the report of his having kept the 17th of May, he replied, that he had done this, not as a British Consul, but as a Norwe gian, that nothing improper had taken place, but that in all that had passed, the toasts, &c. the celebration of the day was accompanied with expressions of the greatest re gard for the existing Constitution, with due respect for the King, and for the union with Sweden. M. Durie replied, that Lord Aberdeen was 'of opinion that M. K.'s statement ought not to induce him to refuse the applica tion of the Swedish Government to dismiss him. Mr. D. declines giving an opinion of the propriety or impro priety of this resolution; only be regrets on his own part the loss of an agent who has for 12 years given him so much satisfaction, by his activity and zeal, in every thing relative to the British interest. COPENHAGEN, FEB. 14. The commercial treaty between Denmark and Brazil, concluded at Rio de Janeiro on the 26th April, having been ratified by both the contracting parties, the ratifica tions were exchanged at Rio on the sth of November, last year. _ HAGUE, FEB. 24. The Minister of Foreign Affairs has given notice to the merchants and ship-owners that the report from Ports mouth of 7th Feb., according to which all the Barbary States had sent out cruisers, with directions to capture (among others) ships under the flag of the Netherlands, de serves no credit, as, by the last accounts from the Medi terranean, the Barbary Powers and Morocco were on the best terms with the Netherlands. We understand, that in consequence of the large number of voters who are expected to be present in Oxford, at the ensuing election for the University, Mr. PEEL'S Committee have felt it necessary to de tain coaches for the conveyance of his friends in all the principal towns, especially at Bath,Exeter, Chel tenham, and Birmingham. The Cabinet dinner, which was to have been given by Earl Bathurst on Wednesday, was postponed, in consequence of the Ministers attending the King's Court at Wind For on that day, and having received invitations to dine with his Majesty. Mr. Secretary Peel entertained a select party to dinner yesterday, at his residence in Privy-gardens. The Legal Commissioners of the West India Islands had a conference with Sir George Murray, at the Colonial Office, Downing-street, yesterday afternoon. The following is one of .the numerous squibs circulated at present in Oxford, and its neighbourhood : " Lost, on Sunday last, somewhere between the Wes leyan Ch ipel and All Saints' Church, a bundle of Sermons on the Advent of the New Jerusalem, a book of Hymns, and a list of voters who are unable to attend the election. Whoever will bring the above articles to Sir Robert Inglis' committee room, shall receive a handsome copy of the Four Evangelists bound in calf. " Angel Inn, High Street."

Gentlemen intending to support Mr. Peel, and wishing a conveyance by that line of road, are requested to apply at the Committee Room. MODE OF OBTAINING AN ICE-WILL.—To obtain a good ice -well, you should choose a spot looking towards the north, the soil either sand, gravel, or chalk, wherein you can easily build a well which will drain itself, the water soaking into the soil by a waste well made under the other. An ice-well should be larger round than it is deep, for it is a common error to imagine that the deeper a well is, the better; on the contrary, we know that the water naturally runs toward the depth, and, drawing to wards the wells, penetrates through the brick-work, and produces a humidity that melts the ice. To avoid this, a good well should be built with double walls, at the distance of eighteen inches or two feet apart, and the interval between filled up with ashes, or any other matter of an absorbent quality. The well must be built with a domed top (like a soup tureen), and a hole in the centre left to receive the ice. Over the dome of brick work there should be a covering of earth, at least six feet in thickness, upon which a plantation may be formed, to keep off the sun's rays ; the hole in the centre of the dome should have a neck (like a large chimney-pot), se• cured with a strong cover of iron, running up through the superincumbent earth three or four feet, and should be kept always well covered with soil, and turfed over, as soon as the well is filled, to prevent any access of air in that direction.— At the side of the well, upon a line with the bottom of the dome, an entrance must be made to take out the ice ; it should consist of a porch with double (loots, the outer of which must be covered with straw, or thatched, and every crevice in both doors stopped up and made as air-tight as possible. A dry time ought to be chosen for filling the well ; the ice should be broken as small as possible, in order that it may reunite in the interior; and three or four men should be employed in levelling and pounding it, till the well is filled to the very top. If a long frost ensues, it should be filled up from time to time, as the ice first intro duced will diminish considerably in bulk as it forms itself into a compact mass, by freezing in the well. When the ice is taken out, every precaution should be adopted to prevent the rush of a volume of air into the well upon the opening of the doors. At first the ice must be taken out as it comes to hand, until the mass sinks to% level with the door ; but afterwards, by means of a ladder, it must be taken from the sides of the well, all round quite down to the bottom, leaving the centre to the last, which will be found solid and compact even in the midst of summer : if, on the contrary, the ice is first taken away from the middle, you disturb the body, and the air which introduces itself will destroy more than you consume. The first object, it must be always recollected, in preserving the ice in a well, is to keep it dry ; and if unfortunately the well is pieced is a soil that will not permit it to drain itself; a pump must be fixed on the outside to draw off the water accumulated in the waste well." We ought to arid, that this edition, besides other editions, contains, as the title announces, several new bills:of fare for the dessert.—Arrin's Italian Confectioner. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

MURDER IN SHROPSHIRE. (From the Hereford Journal.) In a former Journal we stated the escape of John Evans alias Smallman, from our county gaol, and his perpetrating a robbery in Mr. Ballarsl's house, at Woodmington, after which it was supposed he had left this part of the kingdom : the supposition, how ever, was incorrect, as it has been ascertained he wa., lurking about this neighbourhood since his escape from gaol, and has at length committed a murder at Bishop's Castle, under circumstances of peculiar atrocity. It appears that on Tuesday night, the 17th instant, he knocked at the door of a woman residing in the parish of Medley, and requested shelter for the night, explaining that he used to grind her corn for her at Poston mill—the woman immediately recognized him, refused admittance, and the next morning apprised a gentleman, residing th parish, of the circumstance. Probably, appre hensive that search would be made for him, .e Evans left the country, and on Friday evening,th 20th instant, entered a public-house at Bishop' Castle, in Shropshire, arid sitting down in the kitchen, called for some ale. His appearance created suspicion, and he was recognized by the landlord and his family, when he immediately rose and went towards the door; a young man, named Ed ward Richards, followed him into the yard, andlaid hold of the skirts of a blue frock lie wore, when the cowardly miscreant drew a pistol from under the frock, and shot the pcor fellow in the breast, who instantly fell, and has since died. He also snapped a pistol at another man, but it did not explode. In the confusion attendant on such a lamentable occur- , rence, and favoured by the darkness of the night, Evans escaped; but incredible as it may seem, he re- , turned to the yard about three o'clock on Saturday morning to search for the pistol he had dropped, and which had been previously secured. He again evaded pursuit, and that very night broke into the house of Mrs. Hotchkiss, at Church Stoke, Montgomeryshire, and also stole a grey horse from Mr. B. Hotchkiss, of the same place, on which he rode towards his haunts in this county as he was seen about five o'clock oil Monday evening, six miles from this city, on du, Hay-road; and on the circumstance being commu nicated to J. Tomkins, Esq. of the Wear, he imme , diately hastened to our worthy Mayor with the intelligence, who promptly ordered Mr.Garstone, the city beadle, and Mr. Whittaker, our city gaoler, in pursuit of Evans ; and they proceeded to Mr. Toni• kips, at the Wear, well armed; where, after concert ing with them the plan of operations, they crossed the river to the Lion Inn, at Madley, to remain till the morning. About three o'clock yesterday morn ing Mr. Tomkins went to the ferries over the Wye in his vicinity, where he ascertained a boat had been taken in the night from Byford ; he directly hastened to Madley, called up Garstone and Whit taker, and they proceeded to Mr. Frettwell, at Poston Lodge, who cheerfully joined them, and the party then went to a house on Vowchurch where a fellow named Wilson resided, and sur rounded it, so as to prevent any one escaping. Whilst the officers were endeavouring to gain ad mission at the front door, which was locked, Mr. Frettwell saw Evans at the back-room window—he levelled his double-barrelled gun at him, and gave notice that he was in the house, threatening to shoot him if he attempted to escape. The front door being opened, Whittaker proceeded tip stairs, opened the bed-room door, went into the bed-room, and behind the door found Evans in his shirt, with his waistcoat iii his hand, in the act of searching the pocket for a loaded pistol (the fellow of that he shot the person with at Bishop's Castle). Mr. Whittaker presented a pistol at his head, and, told him if he moved an inch he was a dead man. Mr. Tomkius, Mr. Frettwell, and Mr. Gar stone seized him, and handcuffed him in an in stant. They searched his pockets, and found seventeen sovereigns and some silver, a pistol, and six teaspoons, three marked T. H., one E. J., an other E., arid one plain, a silver watch, makers' names Pemberton and Co., Birmingham, No. 5983. A gun was found in the house loaded with ball, which Mr. Frettwell claimed as his property. They then lashed Evans and Wilson together, placed them in a cart, and brought them to the county gaol, where they delivered them. Every praise is due to the assistance and advice of Mr. Temkins, to whom the public are chiefly in debted for the apprehension of tins murderer, and also Mr. Frettwell, who acted in the most praise worthy manner, by rendering, in conjunctio3 with Mr. Fomkins, the excellent officers such able assistance. We sincerely trust the rewards offered for the apprehension of this desperate villain will be divided between Whittaker and Garstone, who so nobly risked their lives in securing this burglar, gaol-breaker, and mur derer, and Mr. Tomkins has signified the same sentiments. The c3ncourse of people assembled to see him brought through our city was immense ; the crowd was so great at the entrance of the bridge, that the cart was stopped to let the people make room for it to pass. LONDON SESSIONS-(THIS DAY.) Jane Byrne, (the prosecutor of Mr. Smith,) who was ordered to find bail, herself in 801. and two sureties of 401. each, to answer a charge of conspi. , racy, this morning attended in Court with two gen tlemen named Hurry and Gould, who offered them selves as her bail. After the usual questions had been put and satisfactorily answered, the bail was accepted and Byrne set at liberty. Mr. ALLEY said he could have successfully op posed the bail, the notice not being good, but it was not the wish of the prosecutor to keep the woman unnecessarily in gaol, he was disposed to act with lenity. The Learned Counsel would here take an opportunity of mentioning that the gen tleman who reported for the Tines news paper, had (he was sure unintentionally) misunder stood what he said at the Old Bailey. Any one reading the report in the Times of yesterday, would suppose that be had abandoned his client; he was made to say, " that after what had passed he would not any more appear for the prosecutor ;" now he never made any such observation. The fact was, he made an application without putting on his wig and gown; in short, he did not even take off his great coat, and the Court kindly permitted him to go on in that state, for which he expressed his thankfulness, and promised not to appear in such a state again; he would repeat he had no doubt it was an unintentional error, but it was one, if not contra dicted, calculated to do him a great injury; he had no doubt what he stated would obtain publicity. RECORDER-Mr. Alley, I should have thought that you had lived long enough in the world to know that we are all of us in our turns misrepresented in the newspapers. 1 have laboured under some in convenience myself in that way, I can assure you. — (Laughter.) The Clerk of the Arraigns said there were two indictments against Byrne which required separate bail. Mr. ALLEY—Oh; WC „•ill tale the same gentle men in both cases. Elizabeth Roebuck was then admitted to bail. One of the gentlemen who became her security was a Mr. Landseer, father (we believe) to the cele brated artist ; the name of the other we could not ascertain. Sarah Toinkins was indicted for keeping a dis ordel ly house. Mr. PHILLIPS, Counsel for the defendant, said she was willing to abate the nuisance, if the City would drop the prosecution. She was only the ser vant in the establishment, the real proprietor was named Moses. Mr. Alderman VENABLES thought it his duty to state that the defendant had been repeatedly warned, but she, like all others of a similar cast, stood out as long as possible, and before the prosecution was commenced, positively refused to give up the house ; he could not consent to drop the prosecution. —The case was then gone into, and the defendant found Guilty. The RECORDER sentenced her to three months' imprisonment and hard labour. Mr. Alderman VENABLES said he hoped some of the real proprietors of this and several other infamous houses in the city, who were people of known pro perty, would be brought to justice, and that it would riot be necessary to indict their tenants. John Grey was indicted for assaulting his wife, Mary Grey. The prosecutrix, a miserable-looking old woman, said she had been married to the defendant twenty six years, and had several children by him; he was continually beating her. RECORDER—What for? Prosecutrix—Ok, .my Lord, he is so jealous of me; it is without any rea son, however. Defendant—Jealous, indeed, it is not that; it's because you won't dress sassages for me on a Satur day night.—(Laughter.) Verdict, Guilty.—One month's imprisonment. The Court then tried a few parish appeals, and afterwards adjourned. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. The supply of Foreign Wheat is again considerable: Of English and Irish Oats the quantity is good ; but the ar rivals of all other articles are short. The Wheat trade is heavy, but the factors will not submit to less prices than those of Monday for samples that are fine. Barley, Bans, and Pease, continue as last reported. Oats find some de mand at prices fully equal to the quotations of Monday. The Flour trade remains excessively dull. ARRIVALS. Wheat. Barley. I Oats. I Flour.
