was invented.

Such a systole most he abnadonecL Half a
dozen famished plaos•huntersanay succeed now and
then in collecting together at a dinner the super-
annuated heads of the most wealthy and- liseirt dis-
tinguished Colleges, and a mixed multitude of
Fellows and Undergraduates, in order to induce
the public to believe that the University of Oxford
is opposed to any relaxation of the present
system. But the delusion will soon be
dissipated. Those who know anything of the
University know well enough that all the intellect
and piety is on the opposite side. The leading
minds at Oxford are shocked at the thoughtless
apathy engendered by the habit of signing docu-
ments which are either unintelligible or actually
disbelieved. They are disgusted with the tyranny
and injustice of excluding men of delicate con-
science and scrupulous integrity from the prizes to
which they are entitled by their industry and their
merits. Even the conscientious Mr. NIWDIAIATZ
compelled to rest his opposition to the present Bill
on the prodigious maumption that it would exclude
Presbyterians from the English Universities,
although it is ascertained that two of the Scotch
Universities have petitioned in favour of the Bill.
Surely it is not difficult to anticipate that the
claim for relief from these vain and immoral tests
—opposed as it is by arguments so feeble, and
supported as it is by the ablest and most high-
minded men of all persuasions and all partial—
must ere long be conceded.

Lord and Lady Palmerston, Lord Granville,
Earl and Countess of Spencer, Duchene of Man-

The directors in attendance were Colonel Puke,
M.P., Colonel Duncombe, Mr. Forbes, Mr. Fabey,
and other gentlemen, with Mr. Leith, the super-
intendent of the line ; Mr. Fortes, the assistant-
secretary, and other officials.
The train was appointed to take its departure at
half-past 11, and shortly before that time Lord
and Lady Palmerston arrived and were warmly
greeted. The Premier walked rather lame, but in
other respects he seemed in good health. With her
ladyship he took his seat in one of the saloon car-
riages, Lord Granville, the Earl and Countess of
Spencer, the Duchess of Manchester and party, oc-
ou • another of the saloons.
hT Prince and Princess and the Duke of Cam-
bridge arrived punctually at the appointed time.
A large crowd was assembled outside the station at
Kin cross, who loudly cheered their royal high-
acmes. The Princess was dressed in a rich black silk
dress and jacket handsomely braided, and seemed in
excellent health. The Duke of Cambridge took
his seat with their royal highnesses in the saloon
carriage. All being in readiness, the royal train
left the station at twenty-five minutes to 12 o'clock
amidst the cheers of the large company assembled
OD the platform, the Prince and Princess frequently
bowing as the train drew out. Mr. Leith, the
superintendent of the line, was in charge of the
train, and was expected to reach Cambridge at 1
o'clock. At Hitchin the Great Eastern Railway
Company's officials would take charge of the train
during the remainder of the journey.
Most extensive preparations had been made at
Cambridge to receive their royal highnessee.

CAMBRIDGE, Jinirs L
_

Having arrived in the great university town early
in the afternoon I was surprised to find that on the
very eve of a royal visit everything appeared to be
wrapped in the profoundest repose. There were
not more passengers than usual came down from
town by the train ; and if there be ordinarily fewer
people in the streets than I observed on my arrival,
then indeed must Cambridge be the most tranquil
of residences. Even the market-place in which
quidnunc' from time immemorial have been
' wont to congregate when anything particularly
stirring was on the local tapis, wan almost
a desert, and the only abnormal appear-
ance was a general irruption cf bills of "apart-
ments to let," the inhabitants of Cambridge,
as is usual in the provinces, being under the
impression that the great object of royal programs
was to raise the price of lodgings in the district
visited. The streets, I was informed, had been
populous in the morning with the students, and
much gossip had floated about touching the non
placets of the previous day. There was general
satisfaction that the contemplated opposition to the
Dean of Westminster had so signally broken down,
and questions were asked as to how the Duke of
Manchester or Lord Leigh could have given canes
for a single hostile vote ; but all this had subsided
long before my arrival, the examinations were',
going on within the university walls, and,
out of doors, the only novelty to be observed
was the body of London police who bad just
arrived, and who in their extraordinary helmets
which have just been adopted, were certainly the
"observed of all observer"

Neither were the preparations to-day parti-
cularly active. The symptoms of ovations] timber
at the various "coigns of vantage" were few in
number and small in size, there not being a gallery
erected which would accommodate more than a
couple of dozen persons. A little pruning might be
observed here and there, and a moderate quantity
of triumphal bunting disported itself lazily across
the streets, but nothing was to be observed thatcould
be interpreted into a general demonstration of fervour
and excitement. The busting' at the corner of
Trumpington-street, upon which the mayor and
town council are to present the address, are in a state
of great forwardness, but are of modest pretensions,
the word "Welcome," painted in very large and
legible characters in front, being the most con-
spicuous decoration of the tribune. Had I not
been positively informed that the Prince of Wales
was to visit the city and university to-morrow, I
should certainly have imagined that the royal re-
ception bad come off yesterday, and that the
fatigued inhabitants were all en retraite, reposing
after their exertions, and setting their houses in
order.

But to-morrow, I am told, we shall see what we
shall see. The weather is beautiful, and the locality
is well calculated to give effect to a festive t.
The mixture of old and new houses, tt:g:lienan
regular streets, the various colleges, " embosomed,"
some of them, "in thick trees," and the
short distance to be traversed between the railway
station and the senate-house, will all contribute to
give success arid picturesque effect to the arrange-
ments. The Prince was to have arrived at noon,
but a subsequent telegram fixes his royal highness's
arrival for 1 o'clock, by which time, I have no
doubt, all Cambridge, both "gown and town," will
have turned out to give the heir apparent
to the crown a hearty welcome. The Duke
of Manchester's Volunteers, all mounted on
highly-bred horses, will make a gallant
woort to Trinity College, where the Chancellor,
the Vice-Chancellor, the heads of colleges, and the
university authorities will receive the Prince in
the same manner as they received the Queen on
the occasions of her Majesty's visits. There is enor-
mous pressure on the Vice-Chapoellor for tickets to
the quadrangle, a symptom that the repose and
solitude of to-day are only the precursors of the
crush and enthusiasm of to-morrow. The Senate-
house, in which the Prince is to be made LLD.,
has been handaomel7 fitted up ; and here again the
demands for admission strain fearfully on the capa-
bilities of the interior. A number of notabilities
will receive their degrees at the same time as the
Prince of Wales, and will have the usual oppor-
tunity of testing their popularity with the junior
members of the university, but it is generally be-
lieved that what bas already happened may 'be
taken as conclusive of what is to come, and that
neither the Duke of Manchester nor Lord Leigh,
nor the Dean of Westminster, will be exposed to
' any hostile demonstrations in the Senate -bowie.
In looking through the programme I find that
ample employment is provided for the Princess of
Wales between their royal highnesses' arrival and
bedtime. In the evening their royal highnesses
will dine with the Vice-Chancellor in the hall of
Peterhouse, and afterwards they will attend a
performance of the A. D. C., when, if their royal
highnesses wait long enough, they will have the
gratification of witnessing the proficiency of the
dramatic amateurs in no less than three pieces, and
finally will honour the ball at the Museum with
their pretence. The price of tickets—two guineas
for gentlemen, and one guinea for ladies—indicates
that this assembly will be creme de la enfine, but it
is not anticipated that it will be inconveniently
crowded. There are to be no illuminations in the
town, but the electric light will stream from St,.
Mary's tower, and will, I have no doubt, have
very fine effect.

The Bombay Gazette, in an article on Indian v.
Earopean domestic servants, somata that, with all their
shortooonsgs, the former will be foond such superior to
the letter—more faithful sod attached, sad better skilled
is their duties. With this °stake the Bombay Review so.
*sly coincides.
