The Post maintains that the proposal to found a new
and cheap college at Oxfords most impracticable. There 1
is nothing it could do which could not be much better
dose by the old ones. A slight alteration in the statutes
might amble every college to increase its students almost
inderinitely. There is no reasonable objection to hash-
men at Oxford being allowed to lodge in houses liotheed
by the VioaChanoellor, a plan which bas succeeded
completely at Cambridge. MOS•Over, to beloog
would
to
this new cheap college, or poverty hall,
be a tin-kettle at the tail of a man for life, and •
student in it would miss that important part of university
education which consists in the mixing on terms of com-
parative equality with all sorts sod conditions of men. A
fund, judiciously administered by responsible men on
certain approved conditions, oa the same principle ea the
Royal Literary Fund is administered, would sufficiently
meet the case, and no one but the administrators and the
soapiest' noel know anything of the matter.
The Herald regards the project of University extensions
as an emphatic condemnation of the bill of lBr4. It objects
to the establishment of a purely theological college, and to
the scheme of having a college consisting exclusively of one
class, that of poor students. What is wanted at our universi-
ties, as at our public schools, is not clam education of any
kind or order, bat mixed education. What more invidious
than to be branded as of the poor manecollege, to car ry wain
stigmas even up to manhood education, and thus by another
University moieties to widen the gulf between the rich
and the poorer Gimes, where liberty, eqtality, and fra-
ternity should end might prevail' For these reasons the

plan, by which each oollage should ait on its foundation
a certain quota of poor nucleate, w hobod' be assisted by

This afternoon a deputation of the members of
this club waited by appointment on the Lords of the Privy
Council, in Whitehall, to lay before them their views on
the subject of the cattle plague now raging in different
parts of the country, and the orders in °ousel relating
thereto. The deputation mutinied of Mr. Robert Leeds,
chairman, and Mr. H. Corbet, secretary, of the Central
Farmers' Club; Mr. Owen Wallis. Northampton; Mr.
Gambrel, Sums' ; Mr. Conmmaker, Surrey ; Messrs.
Charles and James Howard. Bedford ; Mr. J. Thomas,
Bede; Mr. J. G. King, Berkshire; Mr. W. J. Brown,
Wilts ; Mr. Matthew Reynolds, Beds ; Mr. Carter, London ;
Mr. Marsh, Kent.
The deputation was introduced by Mr. Clare Sewell Road,
M.P. for West Norfolk.
A memorial which was presented prayed for the stapes-
sion of all dealings is stomstock for a period of two months,
and also for permission to sell fat stock only under very
stringent conditions.
Sir GEORGE Garr, by whom the deputation was received,
said the object of the deputation had been pertly antici-
pated by the new eiders in council just issued ; and he
thought it desirable that the experiment than commeaced
should bare a fair trial before any further altera-
tion was made. It was difficult to adopt any
system which was applicable to the whole country, the
circumstances of various districts differing. With regard
to the entire stoppage of cattle traffic, which was suggested
by Mr. C. Howard of Bedford, Sir George remarked that it
would interfere with the supply of meat to the great
centres of population in the midland end other districts.

NEW YORK, Nov. IR, Evmmta.
The sale of government transports has been sus-
pended in Louisiana. Orders have been received
in Texas not to muster out any more troops, and
to discontinue the sales of government property.
The New Orleans Delta states that some Federal
troops have been ordered to the Rio Grande.
The New Orleans Times corroborates the rumours
of naval and military preparations and the stoppage
of the sales of government stores, and thinks that
unless the French withdraw from Mexico before
Christmas there will be Federal intervention in
favour of Juarez.
The Commercial Ad rertiter averts that the go-
vernment will shortly offer to fund all compound
interest bearing legal tender notes at par, with the
accrued interest, into Five-twenty Bonds at fixed

republicans under Pendro Mendot bad reinforced

Large French forces were landing at Bagdad,
