CoMMEM.)ItATIoN AT OXFORD.—The aruigiai
Encamia, or C menemoration of Founders and Benefactor"
to the University of Oxford. took place in the Sheldoeian
Theatre yesterday. The doors of the building were
o early to the ladies, who had filled the gallery
allotted to theiu when master" of arts and.
their friends were admitted ; but the undergraduates
were kept back until nearly half-past 10 o'clock.
Cheers were given almost immediately for the
Chancellor. the Vice-Chancellor, for Governor Eyre.
for Mr. Gladstone, and for Mr. Gathorne Hardy atte
which the attention of " the gods" became directed upon
the unhappy iuglividuals in the &MA who happened to have
come either in white hate, or in coats at all light in hue.
Bright and Garibaldi were received with evident marks of
disapprobation, while the mention of Prussia was the signal
for determined hostility, the same, to some extant, being
awarded to Italy ; Austria, on the other hand, was
greeted with cheers. Honorary degrees were conferred ma
nine gentlemen- Sir F. Currie, Sir James Simpson, M.D.,
Mr. Gathorne Hardy, M.P., H. A. de Candotle, Dr.
Hooker (of Kew), Mr. Merivale (the historian). Professor
Thompson (of Glasgow), Mr. Joule, F. ILE., and Professor
Phillips. The chief favourite of the undergraduates seas
evidently Mr. G. Hardy, after whom they seemed most
familiar with the names of Merivale and Phillips.
The Crewian Oration having been delivered by Mr. Matthew
Aruold (the Professor of Poetry), the distinguished pascals
on whom the degree of D.C.L. had been conferred were
presented to the Vice-Chancellor by Dr. Travers Tw;ss.
The prize compositions were then recited by the succeat el
competitor.
RUN OVER IN THE STREET:4.—Yesterday Mr.
St. Clair Bedford held an inquest at the Flask Taysru,
Ebury-square, on the body of Sarah Emmeline Gower,
a little child, one year and 11 month' old. Emily Clerks
a servant girl, said, on Monday morning but, between.
11 and 12 o'clock, she was in Burton-street, Fstonoiquare,
and observed a horse and cart proceeding along at a
walking paw.. The little child was " toddling" in the street
in front of the cart, and going away from it. She could see
that it was *are to be run over, and screamed with all
her might. The driver of the cart seemed deaf to all her
cries, and the wheg.l passed over the child's head. 'eho
driver stoppel just at that moment. Jelin Whittingham,
a gentlen.An servant, noticed the danger the child was
in, and heard the screams of the last witness. The drier
was ~ittiug on a board across the cart, with his elbows on
his knee, and though he did not seem to hear time
screams, the s !pile street whs aroused by th
When tie veheel passed over the child's head the dryer
stopped. ..I.lwht•rt he saw the child he merely amid to his
horse, " Pull up." The driver, who appeared to bea lou • ish
kind of lad, explained to the coroner and the jury, after
being duly csittionegi, that he was driving an empty cart
belonging to the parish of St. George along Barton-street.
He saw no one in the street, and did not notice the child
till he found the wheel had pealed over her head. He did
hear a scream, but when he turned round his head to see
what it was he found out that an accident had happened.
Thu jury, after a lengthened deliberation, returned a
vevr.ct of " Accidental death," and the coroner accom-
penied it with a severe reprimand to the driver for his
chrelmenofs, as a warning to him in future.
TR r. 14!1::,TERIOUS AFFAIR NEAR HARTLEPOOL.—
The Coroner's inquiry relative to the death of Janes
Cooper. aged seventy-five years, who resided in a honer in
Essington-Line, near Hartlepool, with a woman named
Jane Clegg', was resumed yesterday. The particulars
of the case are of the most extraordinary and revolt-
ing character. About three weeks ago the deceased
was missed by his companions, and for four or five days
Craggs stated that he had gone to a village named Coxl oe,
some miles distant. She had given uttersnos to many
threats to do away with her aged companion some mottles
before, tied this, with her refusal to allow any of the
neighbours to search the house, led to some suspicion
being entertained respecting Cooper's fate. One of
the deceased's companions narrated the eircom-
stances to the policeman stationed at Essington, and
they both went to the house and found deceased laid
out in bed in an advanced state of decomposition.
Craggy was taken into custody. It was at first supposed
that the deceased had been poisoned, but ea an •analy-
sis of the stomach no traces of poison ocitild be diem-
rereel. Twe medical men made a post-mortem exami-
nation of the body, and one of them, Dr. Edgar, of Het-
tor, said he could not account for death, while the
other, Dr. Parker, of Essington-lane, gave it as his
opinion that death had been caused by suffocation.—The
prisoner admitted that the deceased had been dead for
three days before he was discovered, and said she did not
tell anyone of his death because she had no money to bury
him with.—Several witnesses having been examined, the
jury returned a verdict of "wilful murder" against Crags'.
