eidasble excitement has been created in Oxford by some
irregular preceding. connected with the choral d St.
Thomas, in that city. On the evening of Asosesion-day,
last week, the vicar of the parish (the Rev. Tbom Chem.
heeler», ILA., of Christ Church), his churchwardens, and
parishicsiera, ceseluded the basting of the parish boundaq
according to used custom, but Mr. James WiDiams, one
of the churchwarden, complained that the perambulation
of the boundary had been improperly performed, as the
vicar left before the termination of the proceedings. Di.
vie* service war announced for half-past seven o'clock the
name erasing, and the vicar attended the church for the
purpose of conducting the service, when Mr. Williams
closed the church doors against biro, placed his hand twice
on the vicar's hoe, used most insulting language, main-
tained that be bad a right, as ch urchwarden, to prevent
the service being held, and said he did not care if he had
seven ream' penal servitude for what he was doing. All re-
monstrance was in vain, and it was only on the appear-
ance of the police that order was restored, and divine ser-
vice commenced at eight instead of half-past seven o'clock.
Mr. Williams, who is an agricalrinist, and holds a leading
position in the parish, was brought up before the Vice-
Maecenas of the University (Dr. Lightfoot), yesterday,
when the above facts were given in evidence and he was
committed for trial at the sashes, on a charge of p t-
! ing, or endeavouring to prevent., the complainant, a clerk
in holy orders,irom celebrating divine service, contrary to
the statute. He was admitted to bad.

factorily progreesing ; that the committee have been en-
abled to invest during the part year 1004 in the Three per

Several gentlemen addressed the meeting on the importance
of promoting the objectsof this society, which was established
