STAMPED sd. hoped when he returned to this country in May he would visit with me the gardens and the buildings of ancient Oxford— (eheers)L-" and then," I said, " you may report to your constituents, from your own experience, how worthy is the city whose name yam have adopted, and how great is the reputation which it enjoys among the cities of the ancient world." . But, as I was saying, in a spirit of the most fervent loyalty to the British Throne, in a close attachment to the British Crown, and in de votion to British institutions; they have desired to form all the northern provinces of the eastern coast into one great confederation. An assembly washeld, composed of delegates comprising all parties, who adopted unanimous resolutions, which resolutions were reported to the Government of their Sovereign: I believe it is well understood by youlthat the Govern ment of this country lost no time in expressing to them their cordial sanction and approval of the proceed ings which had taken place at the conference. I believe that it will have your support, and the sup-. port and approval of the entire community. (Cheers.) It now remains for the Legislatures of the respective provinces to decide on the course which they will adopt, and the ultimate decision will be reserved for the Imperial Parliament. (Hear.) But I think you will agree with me that it will be a very satisfactory day for the mother coun try if those communities which have grown up under her throne shall be united into a great and powerful community, with all that independence which be longs to the British race, and able and willing to make sacrifices and exertions in their own defence, and ready to take their place among the powerful communities of the world. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, it is given to other countries to be great and power ful empires, but it has been given to England alone to be also the mother of great and free communities. In the last century we governed our colonies with too much regard to our own views, and too little regard to their views and interests. The result was a disastrous and discreditable conflict, and in the end we were compelled to say what we had much better have avowed in the beginning, " Wayward children, depart in peace." There is no subject of the Queen of England who wishes now to de part from the British Constitution. What the policy of coercion could not do, the policy of confidence has effected. (Hear.) But some people say, " Well, but you are now taking the other extreme, and are governing your colonies too much for the benefit of the colonies, and too much at the cost of the mother country." Well, lam ready to admit, and I am sure the colonies will assent, that no permanent and enduring connexion can be formed upon that basis and that principle. But what the colonists will be ready to assent to, and what we shall be prepared to go along with them to establish, is a connexion founded upon the endur- ing principles of mutual sympathy, of mutual inte rest, of mutual advantage ; and I believe that Eng land may be proud to be the parent of such colo nies, and that . the day may come in future when they will be both able and willing to repay the as sistance and protection which they have received from the mother country, and when England, speaking as the parent of those distant communi ties, may say she will be glad to have her quiver full of them, and she will not be ashamed when she speaks with her enemy at the gate. (Hear, hear.) I have now occupied you a long time, but I wish to say a few words on a subject of great interest to the people of Oxford. It is a queStion affecting more correctly the University, but on that account of great interest to you, the citizens of Oxford. You are aware that the rules with regard to the admission to the University of Cambridge are in some respects more favourable than the rules with respect to the admission to the University of Oxford, and that in the last session Parliament a friend of mine, the lion. member for Sussei, a most distinguished inenirierOf the University, brought in a bill which would have had the effect of remedying that mischief. In support ing that bill my hon. friend and colleague took and distinguished part. If that bill had been limited to that purpose I have little doubt that it would have been carried. I should have cordially re joiced in its success. But the authors of the bill went further, and it was ultimately not successful. But the decision then come to did not deter me from giving it my support in the final stages in the House of Commons. I think it right to say plainly that in my judgment, these tests which ex clude many from joining the University - of Oxford, are most readily taken by those who care little 'about the subjects they concern. I feel the great import ance of keeping in the foreground all the truths of religion in the training of youth, but I think the time of earnestness will never be the time of perfect unity of opinion. According to the old saying, the dead fish floated only with the stream. Wherever there was earnestness there would be divergence, and I wish we may look in the conflict in which we are engaged mere closely on the great points in which we are agreed, and less to the points on which we unfortunately differ—(cheers) —and that we may combine in harmonious action to fight the great battle shoulder to shoulder in which we are engaged against the common enemy. (Hear.) I will now bring my remarks to a close. It is not - so certain that 70 years is the life of man as that seven years is the termination of the life of a Parliament, and there cannot be any doubt that the present Parliament is rapidly approaching its close. I think we may say of it that it has accomplished something, and when it has gone it may be num bered not unworthily with its predecessors. It is quite true that we have not performed all that was expected from us. We certainly have not settled the question of Parliamentary Reform—(hear, hear)—a question that has been too difficult for many successive Governments and successive Parliaments. But this may be said of the present Parliament—that during the course of it the Navy has been to a great extent recon structed, the army has been to a great extent re armed, the great arsenals of the country have been fortified and secured against surprise, the volunteer force has been raised and placed upon a permanent and secure footing, the Royal Naval Reserve—a force in itself no mean protector to an insular coun try—has been called into existence, and is now in a state of complete efficiency. (Cheers.) In the meantime, our income-tax has been reduced one third, many articles which encumbered our tariff have been swept away, and our tariff now consists of very few articles. (Hear.) The great articles of consumption of the poorer classes have been the subject of reduction of taxation. We have now a buoyant revenue—we have an industrious and a prosperous population, and I think we may say that during the present Parliament we have avoided war and have remained at peace. (Cheers.) During that time I believe no member has had so much occasion to be indebted to his constituents as I have. Four successive times you have placed mein the position • which I have the honour to occu p y ; and I most cordially and sincerely thank yo u for this and the other marks of kindness which you have shown me I thank you on this and every othe r occasion, and most especially and most s i n cerely for the mann er in which you have received me on the present occa sion. (Cheers.) Mr. also responded to th e t oas t , expressing his g eneral concurrence in th e remar k s w hich had fallen fro m his ri ght hon. colleague. NE AT E , A 1.P., Several other toasts were afterwards given and responded to.

This further reduction has been brought about to a great extent by several lots having been forced on the market in order to reduce the stocks before the close of the year.

When me met in this city this time last year every eye was turned to that dark cloud in the northern sky which was big with danger to a friendly nation, and which threatened to disturb the peace and tranquillity of Europe. I remember that we then joined in the expression of an earnest hope that we might be able to preserve peace for ourselves, and that we also might be able to main tain by our influence the blessings of peace to others. (Hear, hear.) That hope was partly gra tified and partly disappointed. " The fates, assenting, granted half our prayer, The rest the winds dispersed in empty air." Gentlemen, so far as this question has been a matter of political conflict, it is past and gone. I have not a word to say respecting it in .that regard ; but the Inorai. the public lmon which the British com mituit3r-has derirml- - fram thiS - AlBcuggio,n,-;. ---- d - . - uly ,- ject on which it is worth while briefly to linger. I have read able speeches from those who recommend that, as our position is insular, so should our policy be ; that we should keep ourselves almost entirely aloof from the affairs of others, and that we should devote ourselves almost exclusively to the prosecu tion of our own improvement and the promotion of the welfare of our own people. Other able speakers have said that such a policy would be a cold and selfish policy, that it would be a derelic tion of duty, that it would be an abrogation of the place which England holds in the scale of nations. To me it appears far easier to lay down general principles than it is to guide their practical appli cation to the difficult circumstances that arise. But in this, as in many other instances of public policy, it seems to me that the analogy of private life affords a very fair and certain guide by which we may direct our steps in the mazes of public diffi culty. If an individual in a neighbourhood be rich and powerful you would not expect him to be prompt and ready to interfere in all the affairs of others. Neither, on the other hand, if conflicts arise in his neighbourhood, and a word of friendly counsel would avert difficulty and disaster, do you expect him to separate himself in the coldness of isolation, and refuse to his neighbours the benefit of his counsel. (Hear.) And that which is wise and right in private life is, I think, wise and right in the conduct of public affairs. I believe that the judgment of the great British community is this— that the policy which becomes a great nation like England is at once a free and generous policy, but, at the same time, a poliey exercising intervention cautiously and charily, and exercising it when ever it is necessary in a sense of moderation and in the interests of peace. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, I have read, and I am sure that you have looked with great interest to, the news which you have re ceived from the Northern States of America, not only because you view with deep sympathy and re gret the suffering which the continuance of the conflict in that country has occasioned, but because you have been shocked to see that danger has been anticipated lest friendly relations should be inter rupted and other countries be made the scene of preparing hostile operations against a friendly Power. (Hear, hear.) lam not now in a position to speak on the precise merits of the questions that have arisen, but I have no hesitation in assuring you of my entire conviction that no men are more sensible than Lord Monk (the Governor-General of Canada) and his advisers of that which is due to the honour of the British Crown and to the invio late neutrality of the British territory. (Hear.) You may be certain that if the present law in Canada be adequate they will carry it into execution with promptitude and vigour, and that if the pre sent law be found inadequate it will not long be suf fered to remain so. (Cheers.) And, gentlemen, what a spectacle have our fellow subjects in British North America presented to the world. They have seen in the last 15 or 20 years nearly every throne in Europe shaken, and they now see the great re public of their own continent the scene of civil con vulsion and of civil war ; they remember with pride and gratitude that they are the subjects of a throne as ancient as the oldest European monarchy, and that they live under institutions as free as any that ever were known in the history of mankind. They have conceived a noble ambition ; they have de signed to form, I say, a nation, but not a nation divided from the allegiance which they owe to the British throne, nor separated from the institutions under which it is their pride to live, nor estranged from the associations and attachments which bind them to the mother country. (Hear, hear.) Gen tlemen, I have had the opportunity of reading able speeches made by leading statesmen in North America to their constituents, and I may say to you in passing, what I am sure will interest you as it interests me, that the President of the Council of Canada delivers his speeches to the electors of Ox ford ; and when he was in this country the other day I asked him what sort of place Oxford was, and he replied to me, with pardonable pride, that Ox- Pad Was the garden Canada and I said that I ,f z_ y I ('Y • IVIDDLESEX SESSIONS---hin. Z: Mr Bosley, who was counsel for the prisoner, said he was instructed to state that the man had lost money while keeping a publichouse in Dublin, and had only been in London four or five weeks. He had a wife and two chil dren dependent upon him. He had gone into the shop to puvchaso a. key for his watch, and, having been drinking, was unable to resist a sudden temptation.

Ccharged of .flo, Mr. Rowden, who appeared for the prosecution, said the prisoner entered the shop when a lady and were looking at some chains and lockets, and after they hadleft the property was missed. On being accused the prisoner was seen to l'P pl aee one chain on the glass easy forming the counter, and a locket was taken from his hand. The other two lockets were found on the floor. nanners he did not seem to belong to the class of ordinary ,hieves, and, as nothing was known against his character, ie must be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for three John Cox, 23, describes as a sweep, was charged with stealing two pairs of boots, two other boots, and the leg of a boot, value £4 108„. the pro pe r ty of Richard Parker. On the morning- of the 23d of December the prisoner swept the kitchen chimney of prosecutor's house in South ampton-street, Strand, and having placed his machine in the passage left. The toots were stolen from the shop. There were marks of soot near the spot from which the goods were removed, and there was a door leading from the passage to the shop. • The jury, after some deliberation, found the prisoner not guilty. The Assistant4udge cautioned the prisoner to be care ul of his future conduct. John Cumbers,36, was charged with stealing a goose, the property of the Great Eastern Railway Company. Mr. Metcalfe, instructed by Mr. Ashley, solicitor to the company, appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. Ribton was counsel for the prisoner. About 3 o'clock on the morning of the 21st of December, an eye-witness saw Cumbers take a goose out of a box, the end of which was unnailed, as it was standing on the goods platform of the Brick-lane station. He was also seen to put it under his coat and pass it through the gates of the company's premises, where it was afterwards found. His duty as night watchman ended at 4 o'clock in the morning, and he left without taking the goose with him Subsequently, when apprehended, he said he knew nothing about it. The defence was that the eye-witness might have inis aken. the prisoner for another man. The jury, after being locked up for some time, found a verdict of not guilty. Frederick Langston, 21, and John Nicholls, 18, were charged with stealing a desk, containing a gold watch and other articles, value £3O, the property of James Bird. The prosecutor, Mr. Bird, is foreman to Messrs. Watling, publicans' confectioner, and lives at 26, Denbigh-street, Pimlico. Ile left his house in charge of his maid servant, Sarah Tayett, on the afternoon of the Ist of December, and when he returned at a quarter to five he found her absent ; but presently she returned with the desk unopened under her arm. It seemed that the girl, who was only 16 years of age, had gone out to buy a reel of cotton, leaving the front door open, and on her return iu five or six minutes she met Langston leaving the house with the desk under his arm. Nicholls was waiting three doors off. They spoke together and then ran away. She pursued them and caught Langston by the collar. He struck her a violent blow on the nose which drew blood, but she retained her hold, and he then gave up the desk in order to get free. Both pri soners eluded the police until the 28th of December, when they were seen in company in Rochester-row, and at once apprehended. There was some doubt as to the identity of Nicholls, and he was acquitted. The jury found Langston guilty, and The Assistant-Judge remarked on the cowardly blow which he had given to the witness, and sentenced him to 12 months' imprisonment, with hard labour. Mr Bird was called forward. The Assistant-Judge—Are you going to keep that little girl ? Mr. Bird—Yes, my Lord, a little longer ; but she is about to be married. The Assistant-Judge —Her conduct in this case makes no difference in your estimation of her ? Mr. Bird—Rather the contrary. I think it in her favour. The Assistant-Judge—We think so, too, and we intend to give her 10s. We should have given her more if she had not left the door open. (Laughter.) (Before Mr. Payne.) Daniel Brookman, 50, was charged with stealing 481 b. of hair, value £3 165., the property of Messrs. W. and J. -11i.illatttl and Sons, Ttpholsterers; in - Monnt-street, Hanover sq uare. Mr. Bosley, instructed by Mr. Edward Lewis, appeared 'or the prosecution; the prisoner was not defended by This was a rather curious case. The prisoner, it was proved, has been for six years an inmate of the workhouse of St. George's, Hanover-square, with the exception of about a fortnight in each year, when he has regularly at tended the training of a militia regiment to which he belongs. He was employed by the authorities in the work house to collect hair from different shops to be picked by the inmates and afterwards returned to the owners. He had occasionally been to Messrs. Hollands, and knew that their rule was to deliver out three dozen pounds' weight at a time. On the 21st of De cember, between 3 and 4 o'clock, he was seen at the prose cutor's, but no one saw him leave or heard him ask for hair. When he left, instead of taking a large bundle which he carried direct to the workhouse, a few yards distant, he was seen to walk, by a circuitous route, to the shop of a marine store-dealer in Gilbert-street, a distance of nearly half a mile. A police constable, who was in plain clothes, and who had watched the prisoner, saw him walk through the shop into a back parlour, and there unfasten the bundle. He entered, and, although the shopkeeper at first said the man had brought nothing with him, Brookman admitted that he had brought the bundle from Messrs. Hollands, and he said ho was going to take it to the workhouse. It contained four dozen pounds, in four parcels, and on examination of two bags capable of containing five dozen pounds, it was discovered that three dozen were missing from one and one dozen from the other. The suggestion was that the prisoner intended to take the three dozen pounds to the workhouse, and to sell the one dozen pounds to the marine storedealer. Although he received no wages, and was supposed to be destitute of money, 355. 1034. were found upon him. _ . The jury found hint guilty, and expressed a strong opinion that the marine storedealer ought to have been prosecuted. It was stated that he had been in custody, but bad been discharged. Messrs. Hollands' assistant informed the Court that the quantity of hair which they had lost exceeded 8001 b. Mr. Payne said he was afraid the prisoner had been in the habit of stealing hair. He must be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for 12 calendar. Robert Gill, 19, was charged with stealing four .£5 Bank of England notes, the property of Edward Soles. Mr. Pater prosecuted ; Mr. Horry defended. The prosecutor, a sailor, had been paid off and lost his money, but could not tell where or under what circum stances. The prisoner was found dealing with the notes, and his only explanation was that he had found them. The jury found him guilty, and he was sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment, with hard labour.

SEVERE weatherO INwShCicOh characterisedTLANto.—T he tlie dry three and comparatively last days of the wee k chan g ed on Saturda y evening to in tense cold followed by a heavy fall of snow, which conti nued till an early hour on Sunday morning. The snow began to fall about 7 o'clock, at first gently, but after the first half-hour it became suddenly so thick as soon to cover the ground to a considerable depth, and at 1 o'clock, when the fall ceased, there would be four or five inches of snow on the ground in the city, while in the country around it was, of course, much deeper. Owing to the sudden fall of snow the cab traffic was immediately and entirely sus pended. At night the wind set in from the west, and con tinuing to blow fresh a thaw commenced, which continued yesterday morning, and was beginning to clear away the snow, with the unfortunate effect, however, of rendering the roads rather more dirty and disagreeable than is desir able, particularly at a holiday time like the present. The cold during the storm was very intense, and on Saturday the lochs in the neighbourhood of the city were covered with ice to the thickness of upwards of an inch. The ther mometer stood at 1 o'clock this (Monday) morning at 36 deg.—Scotsman.
