On Thursday a very numerous meeting of the University
was held in the Hall of Oriel College, Oxford, to consider
the question of the extension of the University, with a
view especially of the education of persons median moist-
sate, and desirous of admit ion into the Christian Mi-
nistry. The Provost of Oriel (in the absence of the Vier

present were the Master of Bethel, the Madder of Univer-
sity, the Provost of Woreester, the Warden of AU Soule',
the President of St. John's, the Warden of New College, the
Principal of St. May Hall, the Venerable Archdeacon
Clerks, Sir W. Heathcote, Mr. Gaytherne Hardy, M.P.,
Mr. C. Neste, M.P., and many professors and other leading
members of the University. The proceedings were of con-
siderable length, but in the crowded state of our columns
this morning we are nimble to do more than give the result.
At the conclusion of the speeches the chairman requested
those who were of opinion that the University ought to be
extended to hold up their hands, whereupon the hands of
