OF OXFORD UNIVERSITT.

—The name of the Duke of Newcastle has been
named as that of a candidate for the Chancellorship
at Oxford, in whose favour many votes would be
given.

A report extensively prevails here this afternoon
that the party unfavourable to Lied Derby's election
Dare come to a resolution that it would be highly inexpe-
dient, under existing chrusastances, to oppose the election
of the noble earl. It is hoped, therefore, that the Univer-

ESCAPES OF NAPOLEON AND WELLINGTON.
In many stating points the careers of Napoleon
and Wellington exhibited a remarkable similitude. Born
in the same year—following the same profession—
paesiag that dangerous ordeal unharmed, in which so many
of their contemporaries perished—and both surviving to
gain the loftiest objects, at which " ambition's self" could
strain. Beset with &opts, their preservation seemed mira-
culous—as both exposed themselves recklessly—and from
their most perilous situations, both had singular maws,
and by the meet opposite agencies. When at Acre a shell
dropped at Napoleon's foot, a soldier midst him in his
arms, thug him as the gravid. and the shivered metal
passed harmlessly over the prostrate general, and bat
slightly wounded his preserver. In Paris the furious
driving of his coachman cleared the street before the infer-
nal machine could be exploded. These were probably his
greatest perils ; and tremens he was delivered by the devo-
tion of a grenadier—from the other, by the accidental
drunkenness of a servant. Nor were Wellington's escapes
MSS remarkable ; for there was rarely an action in which
sense of his permed attendants were not killed or wounded.
At Vittoria he peed ushineed through the fire of the
French centre Wieling wish Lennon, for there eighty
pieces were is beery. At &worm he wrote a memo-
randum on the bridge while the enemy were in actual pos-
session of the village. During the bloody contest that en-
sued, for a time he set upon a height within close musket
rat ge of the enemy, watching the progress of the battle ;
and in the evening his danger wee still more imminent.
"Re had carried with him," says Colonel Napier, " to-
wards Echallar half a company of the 43rd as an escort,
and placed a sergeant, named Blood, with a party, to watch
in front while he examined his maps. The French, who
were close at band, sent a detachment to cut the party off ;
and such was the nature of the ground that their troops,
rushing on at speed, would Infallibly have fallen unawercs
upon Lord Wellington, if Blood, a young intelligent man,
seeing the danger, had not, with surprising activity, leap-
ing rather than running down the precipitous rocks he was
posted on, given the general notice ; and, as it was, the
French arrived in time to send a volley of shot after him
as he galloped away." It wee said of Napoleon that he bore
a charmed life—and certainly a special providence watched
over that of Wellington—" God covered his head in battle,
and not a hair of it was scathed."—Mosurall's Life of
Wellington.
