That, if necessary, the visitor should have power to issue a commission for the re-examination of Vandi dates for fellowships, on appeal from rejected candidates who can give prima facie evidence of higher merit than those who have been elected, and to reverse the decision of the electors. _ _ , (From the Times.) The Report of trio Oxford University Commission, which has so tang been feared or desired, was published on Friday, and now lies before. us. For the benefit of the numerous persons interested in this report, but not likely to see it till their annual visit to . OStfOrd or the metropolis, we may as Well dei , cribe the outward fea tures of a d t ecupsept which has hitherto been anticipated in some quarters as a spectral bugbear rather than •as a solid reality. It is a bulky volume, running to nearly 800 folio pages, of which more than 250 are devoted to the report itself, arranged under the several heads of the state, the discipline, the sturlies, and the revenues of the University and the several Colleges and Hails, summed up with a very compendious " oonelusion." The remainder of the volume consists' of souse; legal and historical statements, corrispondencee tables : of fees and other documents, and the evidence of ninety prelates, dig nitarmai professors, distinguished men, and University and "College officials-4he .so-called evidence assuming in some instances the character of considerable pam phlets, and in others boieg confined to .the formal receipts of the circulars issued by the Commission. This superficial account of .-the volume will Wigy the most sceptical member of the University that the Com missioners have made a report, and that they have not been entirely paralysed by the 'scruples which 'led do manfrespectable men to withhold the information . at • their command. The Cointeissinners express their re gret that, owing to these . icruplei, the report, is not quite so complete as might have been desired, but no one can turn over tly leaves without perceiving that there is quite enough, not merely to satisfy a large curiosity, but also to supply the necessary materials for legislative dis cussion. After all, those palpable facts of the case that are before the eyes of the Whole world, and which con stitute the operation and results of the University sys to m, are the moat important,: and,, to far barvite can see, s i they are fully brought out in the pages before us.' As t is, the Commissioners feel it necessary to apologize for the length of the report. Though it is the object of- many of the recommenda tions rather ;PO.emancipate the University and Colleges, and enable them to extend their utility themselves, and though it is rather a beginning than a complete system which is euggestede yet the Commissioners•have gone quite as far as was desirable, - or perhaps possible; in fill ing up a scheme of reform. That proposed, reform is serious, extensive, and partiCulate Indeed, there is not an office or an institution, ore practice in the University, from the appointment of the Vice-Chancellor to the debts of the Undergraduates—from the government of University to the time of the long vacation, which is not affected, The mere summary of the proposed alterations ex'ends to 47 heads. The careful attention which has been given tOsevery point fully explsins the increasing assiduity ,with which the Commission has held its sittings from October 19, 1850, to April 23, 1852, seldom with more than the interval of a week, and generally with less. Whatever difference of opinion there will be as to the merit of this or that proposal; there can be no differ ence as to the conscientious spirit in which the Commis sioners have' dis c harged 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," consisting of all Heads of Llousss, the Proctors, all Professors and public Lecturers, together with the senior Tutors of all Colleges and Halls, and to give this body authority to originate measures, and power to appoint Delegacies, or Standing Committees, for special purposes. This body is proposed rather: as as addition to the existing b r anches of the academic legislature, the Hebdomadal Board still retaining its executive powers and its right to originate measures, and the Convocation still having that veto . into Which prescription has narrowed its func tions. Such an 'addition, however, has long been re quired, and till recently its place was supplied by a spe cies of mired committee or confsrence, that mediated between the Hebdomadal. Board and the Convocation — the Lords and Commons of the University. It is proposed to give the most important functions of the University, the supervision of studies, the appointment of Examiners ; and the management of professional b o dy a l one , that extensively remodelled. It is body,the p public ew l v i .e br i :t i s n , g to very the also proposed that the Proctors shall severally hold office for two years, the first year of the one coinciding with the last year of the other; the duties of the office being confined to matters of discipline, and the election being vested in-Congregation without the restraint of the Ca roline Cycle. Among other proposed changes affecting the state and discipline of the University may be men tioned the abolition of promissory oaths, the discontinu ance of the distinction between noblemen, gentlemen commoners, and commoners; a check on the credit given to undergraduates by' the early presentation of bills, and the recovery of debts hi' open court, and liberty for the foundation of halls as . well as for residence in private Jo 3gings, utt_ r doe superintendence, without connection with :toy eollege or hall. The alterations affecting the studies of the University are equally extensive. The Commissioners propose a public examination before matriculation; the option of some special branch of study in the latter pert of the academic cousse; four professional boards for the regu lation of studies, viz , for Theology, Mental Philosophy, and Philology, Jurisprudence and History, Mathemati cal anti Physical science; the pntite reconstruction and re-endowment of the Professorships, partly by the ap plication of college felloWships to the purpose; the elec tion of Professors by the. Crown,. or ,the proposed Con gregation instead of the Convocation; the removal of restrictions from University scholarships and prizes, and the formation of libraries and museums of physical science under the entire management of the professors. With regard to the revenues of the University, it is pro posed to publiih all accounts, including those of the press; to equalise fees; to confibe th e funds of the Uni versity to Univer s ity purposes, and to remit the stamp duties on matriculation and degrees. The changes proposed in the constit ution and Govern ment of the coll eges a r e equally ex tensive and of much the same character. Time will ,not al low us to g o int o details, but they amount to the abolition of every unnes cessary rule which may interfere with the true interests of the Collegie - A utilizing of tellovr tu sh o i n ps g obtyhearttPa9cihnitnsg' we may instance the professorial duties; - the creation of scholarships tenable for a limited term, the opening of all f oun d a tions to the wh ole universit y except in special cas e s ; the election of heads of houses from the whole b o dy o f M a sters of Arts; the re g ular and effective visitati on o f the colleges, w ith annual re ports to the Crown, mid t h e power of making and re pealing statutes. B ut h ere w e mu st stop. The com missioners, after carefully summing up their labours, add, " Of the proposals which affect the university, the most important are those which we have made for remodelling the constitution and abolishing the existing monopoly of the colleges and halls, by allowing students to reside at i l na n immediate necessity the colle g o e f s, Ox ford without t h e expense o f conn exion with those bodies..h Cwpeenwing would especially the leges, of incre as i ng th e num b er an d value of scholar ships, of granting to th e co ll eges the poser of al terin g c e i c l i o a w lly shi upr.ige de scholarshipi, of attaching professorships to cert ain co their statutes, and, above all, of prohibiting as unlawful , the oaths to observe the statutes." 40. That all scholarships should bo thrown open to your Majesty's subjects under the age of 19,. of what ever lineage or birthplace ; and that in those colleges which have at present but few scholarships, or a number not proportioned to their wealth and re sources, the number should be increased. That the only . exceptions should be that (1) at Jesus, College certain scholarships should be reserved for persons born or educated in Wales; and that (2) of colleges in con nexion with ..particular schools, certain scholarships should be reserved for-persons educated at those schools, subject to the provisioes specified .in the body of our report.. , • , . 41. That no seholarships or exhibitions in the gift of colleges should be tenable for more than five years; and tbet in-no caseahould a scholarship lead to-a fellowship without fresh competition. • 42.: That college revenues should be made to a certain ex tent available for the education of the university; and • that for :this purpose the three lectureships founded by Fox at Corpus Christi should be restored and endowed with revenues from the college funds, suffi crept ; to maintain two professors; that at Magdalen, where thrhe similar lectureships were founded b:y Wayn pete, 'six should be created and endowed for ihealiaiate nano° of six professors; . that at Merton two, and at All Soels four or more, similar endowments Should be made, to which might be added, if necessary, one at New College and ouesa Queen's. That these colleges should be empowered to suppress, either for a time or altogether, a, sufficient number ,of their fellowships, in order to provide these endoWments withoutl too much g io s Sagaatieg the emolumenti; of the remaining tellows." a-eitfir-Tilet - theie profeesorefelltrive should not be geotted by the college electors, but that such fellowships should follow the professorships to which they may be respec tively attached. 44. That the heads of colleges should lie elected from any persons who have taken the degree of the master of arts; and that the election to these offices should, if pos sible, be left to the fellows of the college; but that, in Me abuses in these elections should continue, provision to abate them should be made by an alteration in the mode of election. 45. That in all cases the visitors should be empowered to visit their colleges, and to correct abuses; and that the head of each college, under the seal of the - college, should transmit annually a report on the state, disci pline, studies, and revenues of the college, according to such a form as the visitor may think fit, and that the visitor should be called upon to lay a copy of such re port before the Sovereign, with such observations as he may think fit to make. m bee 4 na 6 dp , ay Ttl applied dn a st to twh the, with principlesrega several d tsocietiesthe embodied co in lliengtehs e t i h am e ga nn b e o err v a e r specified peeeci shouldofim e d in the body of our report. 47. That the head and fellows in each society should have power, under such control as may be thought expe dient,stataeits aoss oo lte rcaosion may require.rabrogatesta statutes, and to frame new In drawing up this summary of our recommendations, we have not attempted to make any distinctions between them. It must be manifest, however, on a cursory survey, that these recommendations are very different both in kind and in importance. Some the university and the colleges have not the power to adopt without assistance from superior authority; some they have power to carry out, though .they-are not likely to avail themselves of that power; some we hope they may be 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 have been made since your Majesty's Commis sion was issued. It may be thought doubtful whether those which involve alteration in the Leudian 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 we 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 we have made for remodel ling the constitution, and for abolishing the existing monopoly of the colleges and halls, by allowing students to reside in Oxford without the expanse 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 publication of the statements which we have felt it our atinstitu tion duty to make. p g o u s ln solely l which be offering thesedesirerecomm endationsre nderthewe have been g re tiic for hi , s , y th o e ur su m bj aj e c e t s o ty f ouras w in e qu b i e r l y iev g e re t a o te b r a t c h s a l n au i - t has over been.

We endeavoured, in a leading article on Saturday, to describe the principal -; recommendations of the Oxford University ComMissiat.' The following `• conclusion " will prhaps.kive 'the best idea of the effect of the " re port,' whieWofiteelfloo long for publiatitioa, and al most for abridgment We have poly gone through all the subjects .proposed by your Majeiety for our consideration, and have given our opinions on each of them, as by the terms of , our commission was required of-us. -Our report has: run to a length greater ' than 'we - expected, but,- •if we have employed many pages in giving an accoent of obese lete customs and laws, this has not been done merely for the purpose of recording curious facts or indulging in antiquarian research. The great aim and purpose of -the statutes, both of the univer sity and of the colleges, was to perpetuate What seemed expedient at the time of their enactment, by means of laws intended to be unalterable. If we look only to their, statutes, the colleges of Oxford are now what they were in the times of the Plastagenets and Tudors, and if the Laudian Code be binding, the University of Oxford is new .what it was in the time of King Charles I.; but, in fact, almost every distioct purpose and every par ticular object of the founders, almost every detail of _government and, administration has been neglected or superseded; therefore the peculiar character of the university and colleges of Oxford made it necessary to give some account of their ancient• condition, in order to show what their present condition would be if the statutes were still maintained.- The contrariety' be tween the state of thinks presumed by the statutes and that produced by the lapse of time could not be made ; clear without some inquiry into the ancient state of the several academical bodies, and for' this reason we have deemed it necessary to enter into such inquiries at some length. Our report has also been swelled by the extent to which we have quoted evidence. We ha ve t h oug h t i t -ne cessar y t o d o s o , p a rtly because of the eXcellenee o f th e arguments which we have quoted, Partly becaus e we w ere anx i ou s. that the advocates of particularase s h u a p v p e o e r o t - e f m d e:t great avvteea with uS wishedat e ut t by ,plans should be heard in their own words, es- Peekelly when we were - cou strairied to di ff er from them, ' partly h o shth opinions ew o thatou oorptihnoiolirotsi:rigt to our duty e:p the chief recemmendations which we have th oug h t We will new sum • to lay before your Majesty, with a v i ew colleges to a sounder. c r oestore the university and the great resources more serviceable Won,. and to render their learning. •• • teeable to educ a ti on an d to We are of opinion,— 1. That the university should receive a n indemnifica tion incase f it has exceeded its - p ow e t r - Laudian Code, and should henceforth ha y,. alteringrull eily to make, abrogate, or alter statutes, With autho- On of a few fundamental articles not t o b e e a e lL c i e .e r) ,-; without the consent of the Crown or some othe r superior authority.

[PRICE SD. BANQUET AT FISHMONGERS'-HALL. Last night the Fishmongers' Company entertained large party, consisting chiefly of the honorary members of this distinguished guild, at a most sumptuous banquet in their noble and spacious hall.. The Prime Warden, Mr. J. Weston, presided, having on his right the Mar quis of Clanricarde, Earl Grey, and the American and Persian Ministers. On the left of the chairman sat the Earl of Clarendon, Viscount t'almerston, M.P., Lord R. Grosvenor, At.P„ and Sir C. Wood, M.P. There were also at table Major 111irzi Ibrahini Malcolm, Admi ral Sir C. Adam, Admiral Sir T. Cochrane, Aldermen Sir J. Duke, Musgrove, Efum p hery, Cnbitt, and Finnis, Sir. R. Ferguso n , Bart., M.P., Mr. L. King, M.P., Sir W. Clay, Bert., M.P., Mr. Cowan, M.P., Mr. B. Hawes, Vice-Chanceilers Turner, Kindersley, and Parker. Sir D.

C t4l y Mr. Fowles. &c. :The dinner was served by Mesers. Ring and Brymer. The arrangements were excellent in every department. When the cloth bad been cleared, Mr. Harker, the toast-mastor, made the usual Rociamatiott of the " wel come," and the 14:piing-cup went,rottnd. The Pawn Yjr.a.nnxii then gave the usual loyal and constitutional toasts, , prefacing e a c h w i t h appropriate intrOductorY remarks. - The toasta were received with much enthaiiiiiii; and the National Anthem was very efficiently piifornied after: the health of the Queen had liseoll:cArtinlF. • The.toast of " The Navy and Army" was very neatly aatnowledged by Admiral Sir C. Adam. 'The PRIME WARDEN' then proposed " The health of the Foreign Ministers," cot:peeling the toast with the names of the American Minister and the Persian Envoy. "The toast was drunk amid much applause. ' Ills Exeillbooy the Aatorcirt ti INISTER, who was very: trardialif sedived,.. std—M ime 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 yon have done them in drinking their health on this occasion. —(Hear, hear.) I can only regret that some others of my colleagues are not here to return thanks to you, Sir, and to this ancient corporation, for your kind hospitality, extended to us on this and many other ocoasions.—(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, bat on account of nay country, and of my countrymen, several of whom I notice here to-night.—(Hear, hear.) I feel highly honoured in being called upon to return thanks on this occasion, standing in the midst of one of the ancient corporations of this old, this extraordinary city of Lon 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 bad in it.—(Hear, hear.) I know the origin of the companies of London, the twelve great companies—and this among the most an cient—having control at one time not only of the commerce of England, 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 blew Wet 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.— (Hear, 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 gratification at meeting 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 alt its members prosperity and happi nese, and another five hundred years of as much useful ness and honour as the lass.—(Cheers and laughter.) The PRIME WARDEN then proposed " The House d Peers." coupling with the toast the names of the Mar quis of Clanricardo and Earl Grey. The House of Peers recruited its ranks, occasionally, from the body of Vie people, and the commonalty might almost be jealous of that noble House for absorbing such a large portion of the wealth, and intelligence, and dignity of the country; but it was gratifying that those who had so distinguished themselves should be raised to honour.—(Hear, hear.) The Marquis- cf Clanricarde had carried out very nu porta:it improvements in an establishment in the City— the Post-office,—(Cheers) —and the company would delight to honour Earl Grey for his own excellence as well as for that clarnm et venerabile nomen which he bore. The toast was much applauded. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE said,—ln performing the task which your. kindness imposes upon me, I beg to express my sincere c onviction that the House of Peers are deeply sensible of such compliments as that which you have been pleased to pay them.—(Hear, hear.) They know the value of such tokens in up holding and maintaining and extending their au thority and influence and means of being useful to their country.—(Hear, hear.) The House of 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 the country; • 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 been 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 may have ap peared to be less prompt or 11258 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.) I think it must bo allowed that they have fulfilled the duties al lotted to them with advantage to the country. For my self, Sir, I thank you for the very flattering manner in which you have been pleased to speak of me. It is very gratifying to me to be admitted to the splendid hospita lity of so respectable and honourable a corporation of the greatest metropolis in the world, particularly a cor poration so distinguished for maintaining those principles of civil and religious liberty which I have a lways en deavoured, to the best of my power, to promote. ..._ mr.

The toast was very much cheered. The Earl O. fo „LARENDON was received with much cheering as he rose to address the company. He said-- Mr. Prime Warden, my Lords and Gentlemen, I beg.to offer you my most cordial thanks for the honour which you have done Inc in drinking my health; and, although I fear I am compelled respectfully, but I can assure you sincerely, to dissent from the praise which the Prime Warden has had the goode.ess to bestow upon me, Set. speaking, as he does, as the representative of a col:1)1) 913 Y possessing, and administering admirably, great property in Ireland, I do feel pleasure in finding that he could allude in such flattering terms to my administration in Ireland.—(Cheers.)
