OXFORD UNIVERSITY REFORM. We learn with much gratification that Ministers are prepared to introduce considerable modifications into those provisions of the Oxford Reform Bill whioli affect ti tenure of Fellowships. On more than one occasion we have played this important subject in all its various bearings before the eyes of our readers. The object aimed at by the clauses in question is the prevention of certain indefensible and notorious abuses. Fellowships, in some cases, are both acquired and retained without any advantage accruing to the public from the endow ment. The acquisition of these appointments is to be regulated for the future by arrangements to which we need not at present refer ; but, besides this, the tenure also is to be determinable by conditions of greater stringency than have hitherto prevailed. Up to the present time a Fel lowship has been considered as a reward for service per formed ; but it is now proposed to charge it with certain duties, and to tolerate the omission of these duties only by special license, and for a limited period of time. The duties in question, according to the original scheme, in volved residence in the University for 24 weeks in the year, and habitual devotion either to study or tuition. Exceptions were allowed in favour of Fellows desiring to travel, or engaged in other liberal professions else where, but the license granted for these purposes was never to extend beyond a term of five years in the whole. Practically speaking, therefore, no Fellowship would have been available for more than five years in any of the pursuits of active life, and, as such a period would be notoriously insufficient is the majority of cases to give any secure footing, it followed that Fellowships, as incentives to study, would loss a great part of their • public value. It will now, we believe, be proposed to extend the period of exemption to eight years, instead of five, and to make th e exe mption. rath er a matter of right to be claimed by any Fellow at his discretion, than a matter of favour to be determined by the College. These mo difications are undoubtedly steps in the right direction ; ;but, while acknowledging the spirit of conciliation by - which such concessions have been dictated, we are still compelled to doubt whether too many restrictions are not left behind, and whether the large public utility of these endowments is not damaged by the very pro visions designed to improve them. We observe, for instance, that the eight years' leave of absence from the University is to be granted only for exercise and prepa ration in the " professions of holy orders, law, or physic," or-" for employment in the education ofyouth." But what reason can be shown for such limitations as these?? Why should a Fellow of a College just entering on active life, and bringing his approvedlabilities to the service of the world at large be restricted by such conditions in the - c h o i ce of his calling ? No doubt,i the old statutes of Colleges, in providing for such employments, specified law and physic as the per culiar branches of learning which might share wit h theology the attention of College Fellows, b u t thi was because th ese t h ree faculties then c onstitute d, lP in reality, the only three liberal professions. Nowl however, the ca s e i s widely altered. A score of callings equally liberal in character, and equally valuable in re - I sults, invite the d evo ti on o f th e young and energetic. Civil engineering in all its branches—literature and: science in their thousand departments—are but speci mens of the pursuits which every man's reflection will' suggest to him. Why should College Fellows be thrown into two professions exclusively, and especially' into those two which can certainly be studied to very good effect elsewhere than at the Universities ? The very excellence of a University education consists in its general rather than its special character—a charac ter fitting the proficient for almost any pursuit of active life. Under the proposed regulation, however, a Fel lowship will be useless to any person not intending to make himself either a clergyman, barrister, physician, or schoolmaster. He cannot become an engineer or a Mechanician, an artist or a lecturer ; he cannot carry his talents to the direct service of the State, or turn them into any newly-discovered channel of promise. Even his travels cannot be extended beyond two years ; and, though few callings can be conceived more laudable than that of a missionary, he could not devote himself and his stipend to this unexceptionable duty. A fellow ship could net so much as be taken after the eight years have elapsed to eke out the income of a poor curacy or vicarage, and thus provide a destitute parish with effec tive teaching and superintendence. We are strongly of opinion that all these restric tions should be given up, and that the holder of a Fellowship should be left to select at his dis cretion the most promising field for his exertions. We do not see why even the military or naval ser vice of the State should not get the benefit of such accessions of ability. The engineers in the former and the scientific department of the lattter might be all the better for such infusions of talent. In the Peninsular war Government actually made applications to Cam bridge for such assistance, and at this moment, if we are not misinformed, a surveying vessel is under the com mand of a Fellow of a college distinguished for his mathematical attainments. All this, however, is matter for private discretion. We are now arguing solely for the fellowships themselves, and for the public purposes to which these endowments may be turned. It is quite evident that if Fellowships constitute, as they de, the real motive power of the Universities, this power will be greater and more effective in proportion to the con vertibility of the endowment. It should never be for gotten that Fellowships are not ends, but means, and that, as such, the more negotiable they are the greater will be the competition they excite, and the greater, con sequently, the benefit of the University and the nation at large. We must repeat our belief that the provisions of the Oxford Bill in this particular were based upon an assump tion not substantially sound—viz., that Colleges, and therein the University, had direct and paramount claims to the immediate services of all their own Fellows in the form of tuition or residence, and that, wherever these conditions were not fulfilled, special cause should be shown. Whatever may be the theory on such points, we are perfectly convinced that these views could not be carried out without injury to the colleges themselves. As far as we are aware, no instances have occurred in either university where any colleges have suffered from a want of resident Fellows to fill college offices ; on the contrary, these offices are invariably regarded as exceed ingly eligible situations. This much, therefore, we think, may be taken for granted—that no legislative provisions are necessary for securing good or sufficient college service, but that such service will always be rendered without compulsion. After this, it appears to us to follow directly that the residue of power, that is to say, the abilities of all the I ellows not engaged or required in college offices, should be made as available as possible for the general service of the country—a principle equally conducive to their own advantage and that of the nation. To keep all Fellows of Colleges in Oxford would be nearly as bad as keeping all missionaries at home. Their duties may lie abroad, and can be performed abroad without the smallest detriment to the society to which they belong —Timm PARISH OF ST. MARY, LAMBETH. ELECTION OF CHURCHWARDENS. The contest for the election of Churchwardens for this parish closed last evening at five o'clock. At that hour a considerable number of electors had assembled in the Vestry Hall. The Rev. Mr. Dalton declared the §tate of the poll to be as follows : Plews 1,370 Grey •• 1,326 Stratton 1,148 Barnard 692 The rev. gentleman then declared the election to have fallen upon the three first-named gentlemen, viz., Messrs. Plews, Grey, and Stratton. This announcement was received with the greatest enthusiasm. This exciting contest was thus brought to a close. The following gentlemen have been elected survey ors :—Messrs. Hodgson, Price, Taylor, Doulton, Atlee, Mosely, Hayton, Deacon, Mason, Jones, Wade, King, Nott, Avern, Waddingham, Foster, Littlejohn, Pool, Wells, Blackmore, CKARGE OF FORGERY AGAINST A LIVERPOOL TEA MERCHANT.---LIVERPOOL, Friday.--This afternoon, Mr. William Haselden, a toa merchant of this town, and a gentleman who has hitherto been highly respected, was placed before the magistrates, charged with obtaining the sum of 2,0001. from the Liverpool Borough Bank by tea. re I eans of a fo rge d or d er f or the del i very of 200 chests of It appeared from the statement of Mr. Aspinall; the barrister, who appeared on behalf of the prosecution that in the month of February of last year th e p r i soner , who is a tea merchant and broker in Liverpool, was de sirous of opening a loan ac c o un t w ith th e B oroug h Bank. On the 25th of February h e a ppli e d f or an d ob tained anladva nce of 1 further applicatio n was ' oo 01' On the Bth of March a trade by the prisoner, and an other advance was made, giving the bank as security the a prisoner, at the time, deliv er y order for 411 Fry, te chests of tea on Messrs. advance, and In may the prisoner obtained a still further and the balance against him kept increasing. 'some time in June the authorities at the bank doubted the sufficiency of the securities, and in consequenc e of this an application was made to the prisoner for the securities t o be placed on a more satisfactory footing. This appueation aave rise to the forgery on the part of the prisoner, of Which the prosecution now complained. As he had alr ea d y stated, the delivery order on Messrs. Fry for th e 4 11 chests of tea was given by the prisoner on the Bth of March, and it appeared that at the time 200 of these chests bad actually been transferred and removed to Messrs. Littledale's, so that when the prisoner Was called upon to give the bank more conclusive security with regard to the 411 chests of tea, he was not in a position to do so, inasmuch as 200 chests had already been transferred to Messrs. Littledale's. He therefore gave the bank a genuine order on Messrs. Fry for 211 chests of tea, at the same time giving them a further order for 200 chests which were not in his possession at all. The charge against the prisoner was that he had uttered this last order for 200 chests (of the value of 2,0001.) knowing that it was a forgery, and it was this forged order that was now the subject-matter of inquii7. The examination was proceeding when the report was despatched. ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH TO BALMORA.L.—Through the liberality of Prince Albert, whose example in contribut ing 2001. towards the extension of the electric telegraph to Aberdeen has been followed by the merchants and manufacturers of the city, there is now a certainty that the wires will be erected in the course of the present summer. The directors of the Dee-side Railway Com pany are to have the telegraph extended to Bauchory, and, as the distance thence to Balmoral is only about 30 miles, it is intended, we believe, to lay a wire to Bal aworal, oo that the Court may be in immediate communi- - cation with London. The new palace at Balmoral -is pretty well advanced, but s though a, part of it 'will be finished this summer, the Royal family will not occupy t until the summer of 1855. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
