The remainder of Van volutte consists of some legal and historical statements, correspondence, °tables ...of fees' and ether, docimAnts e 'end - the evideneieof 'ninety prelates, digs nitaties, professors distinguished men, and University , and College officiels-e-the so-called evidence assuming in acme insteeces the chariater of 'coosiderable 'path phletse and inethers being confined to the formal receipts of the - eircidars issued by .the Coin - Mission, This superficial account of .the volume will 'satisfy the most seeptiCal e member of the University that the Coln missioners havemade.a report, and that they have not been entirely paralysed by the serupleeetildeb led so iziany respectable- men to withhold the information at their command. The Commissioncra.express their res gret;that, owing to these scruples, the report is not quite so complete as Might have been desired, but no.one can turn over thedaives without perceiving that there is quite enough; 'not merely to satisfy a large curiosity, but alaq tt supplY•the necessary materials foelegislitive dis cUssion, Altera', those palpable facts of tho ease that Dire - ;before the e) as of the whole worideund'which con stitute the operation and results of the University sys teni, are the most iinlortant te atild e er fear as •oanattie) . .ti/erpfre tuft! broligiAt'otit re - lingefitieltirb is, the Commissioners 'feet it .tieceeitiry:to,OpOlogize for the length' of the report. . Thouglii it is the ObjeCt Of many of the 'recommends-, tions rather to emancipate the ,University and Colteges, and enable thern.to,ektend their utility-;themselves, and , though it is rather a beginning thane complete system which' ; is suggested; yet the, Connisissionera have gone quite as far, as was desirable, or perhaps possible; in fill ing up a scheme-of reform. -That .proposed reErrn is Seand particular: Indeed; there is not an r , i :ffi ll4 C' extensive,eora nintitiioon, or a practice in the University, front the appointment of thd - VMe-Chancellor to the debts: of the Undergracluates—freee tie government of University to the tithe of the loug vacation, which is not effected. The mere Summary cif the proposed alterations extends toe 47 heeds; The careful attention which has. been 'given to every point fully explains the increasing assidtiity with which the Commission has•tield its sittings from October 19, .1850, to April 23, 1852, seldom with rate sethen the-interval of a week,. - lied generally with less. Whatever difference of - opinion there will be as to the merit of this or that proposal, there can be no differ enbe es to the Conscientious spirit in which the Commis sioners have 44chaiged their sacred trust. , They propose to give the University, with proper re serves, full power• of self-government. To carry this power into effect, they propose to create a Senate, pre serving the name of the 'Congregation,": cotasisting of all Heads' of .Houses, the Proctors, all Professors and public Lecturers, together with the senior Tutors of ail Colleges and- Halls, and to give - this body authority to originate measures, and power to appoint Pelegacies or Standing Corattittees, for special 'purpos . Cs. TniS body is proposed ' rather' as an eddition to the existing branches of : the. academic legislature, the hebdomadal Board still retaining its executive pouters and its right to originate losastiree, and the Convocation still having that veto into which prescription has narrowed its tuna.. lions. Such an addition, however, has long . been re quired, and :till recently .ite place WeS'Supplied by a:spe cies of mixed committee oreonfsrence, that mediated between the Hebdomadal Board and the Convention — the Lords 'and - Cerateons 'of the University. It is proposed . to give the most important fueetions -of the University, the suPervision .of studies, the appointment: of_ EXardiners. end the. management of the public libraries,,tsi the professional body alone, that body, however, being very extensively iieemOdetied."

Some survey, to adopt without assistance from superior power authority; some they have power to carry out, though they are not likely to avail themselves of that power; some we hope they may bo induced to consider and to carry into effect of their own free choice; a hope which is strengthened 'by the fact that several important changes "Ye been made since your Majesty's Commis sion was issued. It may be thought doubtful whether those which involve alteration in the Laudian Code re 'quire external aid or not; but even a' doubt on such a point renders it necessary to refer the question to supe rior authority. But no doubt can exist as to the neces sity of legislative interference, if the principal measures which 'aye have recommended for the reform of the col leges are to be carried into effect. - Of the proposals.which affect the university, the most important are those which wo have. made for remodel-, ling the constitution, and fir abolishing tbd existing monopoly of the colleges and halls, by allowing students tureside in,Oxford without the expense of connexion with those bodies, .In regard to the colleges, we would espeCially urge the immediate necessity of opening the fellowships and scholarships, of attaching professor ships to certain colleges, of increasing the number and value of scholarships, of granting to the colleges the power of altering their statutes, and, above all, of pro hibiting as unlawful the oaths to observe the statutes.. The:evil of these oaths will be much increased after the publie.ation..of the statements which we have felt it our duty to make. Ia offering 'these recommendations we have been guided soled ) , by theidesire to - render the great institu tion which' is the subject of our inquiry greater than it has ever been. Our object has been to lay such pro posals before your Majesty as we believe to be calcu lated to place the University of Oxford at the head of the education of the 'country, to make its great resources more effectually serve their high purposes, and to ran. der its professors fig representatives of the learning and the intellect of England: ' All which' we humbly submit to your Majesty's gracious consideration. • Witness our hands and seals this 27th day. of April, t 852.

The arrangements were excellent in every department. When the cloth had been cleared, Mr. Harker, the toast-master, made the usual p•roclanastion of the " wel come," and the loving-eup.went round. The PRIME WARDEN then gave the usual loyal and constitutional toasts, prefacing each with appropriate introductory remarks. The toasts were • received - with much enthusiasm; and the National Anthem was very efficiently performed after the health of the Queen had been drunk. The toast of " The Navy a nd A rm y" was very neatly acknowledged by Admiral Sir C. Adam. Tha PRIME WARDEN then proposed " The health of the Foreign Ministers," connecting the toast with the names of the American Minister and the Persian Envoy. The toast was drunk amid much applause. His Excellency the AMERICAN MINISTER, who ; Was'. very cordially received, said—Mr. Primo Warden, my Lords, and Gentlemen, in behalf of the corps to which I belong, I beg to present their thanks and mine for the high honour you have done them in drinking their health on this occasion. —(Hear, bear.) I can only regret that some others of my colleagues are hot here to return thanks to you, Sir, and to this ancient corporation, for your kind hospitality, extended to us on this and many other occasions. —(Hear, hear.) My friends upon my right represent the extreme east, and I have the honour to represent the extreme west; I am only sorry that there are not representatives to fill up the chasm between us.—(Cheers.) I will venture, however, on behalf of my -colleagues, to express to you, gentlemen, what I believe they all feel,—a sincere desire to maintain peace and amity with the British empire.— (Cheers.) For myself, I hope I may be pardoned for saying a word, not on my own account, but on account of my country, and of my countrymen, several - of whom I notice hero to-night.—(Hear, hear.) I feel highly honoured in being called upon to return thanks ou this occasion, standing in the midst of one of the ancient corporations of this old, this extraordinary city of Len don. I stand here in the midst of a corporation 250 years older than the country which I have the honour to represent--(Hear, hear)—and a corporation number• ing now nearly 500 years of existence cannot, I think, have anything very bed in ite—(Hear, hear.) I know the origin o f th e com p an i es of London, the twelve great companies —and this among the most an cient—having control at one time not only of the commerce of Euglaud, but of the revenues of the Crown; and I know that not only England, but the world, has been deeply indebted to these corporations in early times for their commerce, for their liberal spirit, for their promotion of constitutional liberty.—(Hear.) This Corporation has the honour of numbering among its members the man who slew Wat Tyler.—(Cheers.) Your Corporation has now, Sir, turned from the arts of commerce, from trade, to something else; it has turned from the occupations and professions with which it started, and has become a great charity,—(Hear, hear.) You are now educating the orphan, sustaining the widow in her distress, carrying light and knowledge and virtue and religion through your country and the world.— (Llcar, hear.) I hope that the prosperity of this Cor poration may long continue, and that you may add to your numbers, as you have done to-day, great and glo rious names, which we feel .proud to speak.-'-(Cheers.) I cannot sit down without expressing my gratiEcation at meedng here many of those excellent friends with whom I have been on terms not only of amity and international comity, but with whom it. is more than that—(Hear, hear)—and I hope they will respond to the idea—we have been personal friends,—(Cheers.) But I know you . have a long list of toasts, and some of the eloquent of England are to follow; I will therefore take up no more of your time, except by stating that my friends on my right charge me to say how much they are gratified in' meeting you—(Cheers)—and let me add; that I wish this Corporation and all its members prosperity and happi ness, and another five hundred years of as mpch uaefula ness and honour as the lust.—(Cheers and latighter.) Tee rItImE WARDEN then proposed " The House of Peers," couptui g with the toast the nauiec of, the Mar quis of Clanrieardo and Earl Grey. The Howe of Peers recruited its ranks, occasionally, from• the body of the people, and the commonalty might almost be jealous of that noble House for absorbing such a larg9 portion of the weall,h, and intelligence, sad dignity of the country; but it was gratifying that these who had so distinguished themselves should be raised to honour.—(Hear, hear.)

The House Cf Lords is indeed, as you have said, Sir, constantly recruited from the ranks of the rest of the community, and especially from the noble services and professions of tfici cduntry; and therefore there can be little doubt that it will retain that sincere love of liberty and national iedependence, as well as order, for which that assembly has teen distin guished. It has always shown the most strict And jealous regard to the rights and, privileges of all classes of the community; and if at times that assembly nilly have ap peared to be less prompt or less eager to adopt reforms or innovations, the Lords have never shown themselves insensible to the requirements of the country, or to the feelings of their fellow-countrymen.—(Hear.)
