THE OXFORD RIOTS.-( THIS DAY.)

(BY TELEGRAPH.)
OXFORD, TVZSDAT Arrziernom

A reinforcement of officers, viz., Colonel Clive,
Captain Brabezon, and the Hon. H. Needham, arrived
here this morning. The military, who were not called out,
are likely to remain several days. The mob last night
chiefly confined their depredations to stone throwing, of
which the lamps and windows bear evidence. Numerous

charges are to be investigated by the magistrates against
townspeople for rioting and throwing stones. The work-
men resumed their duties at Ealliol and at the bank this
morning. The town is in great commotion, but confidence
has been restored by the prompt action of the authorities
of the University and city.

BREST, Nov. 12.—The Transatlantic Company's
steamer Ville de Paris, from New York, has arrived here
with 115 passengers and :300,000 dollars in specie.

Mr. B. Osborne, M.P., last night addressed his
constituents at Nottingham, and was warmly reoeived.
He reviewed the proceedings of the last session, and, in
adverting to the Abyssinian question, said that before
he consented to any vote for the expenses of the expedi.
tioti he should require full explanations from the govern-
ment.

A conservative demonstration took place at the
Crystal Palace yesterday. More than 1,800 representa-
gives of the conservative associations which have sprung
up throughout the country sat down together to a dinner,
in the company of Lord John Manners, M.P., the Right
Hon. J. Mowbray, Mr. R. N. Fowler, Colonel Brovrnlow
Knox, ALP., Mr. Garth, M.P., Colonel Hogg, M.P., Sir
Charles Russell, M.P., and Mr. Cubits, ALP. Pressure of
public business alone prevented the presence of the Chan-
oellor of the Exchequer, and Lord Stanley would have
been present but for a summons to Windsor. The pro-
ceedings throughout were noisy and enthusiastic, the
names of the conservative leaders being always received
with applause.
COLLISION ON THE STOURBRIDGE RAILWAY.
—A collision occurred at midday, yesterday, at the
Sinethwick junction of the Stourbridge Railway, be-
tween two passenger trains, the one from Snow-hill, and
the other from New-street Station, Birmingham.
It is customary for London and North IVearern
trains from Birmingham to stop short at the Smeth-
wick Junction Station, and the carriages are then
attached to the trains from Snow-hill, and proceed to
their destination. The Snow-hill train, which leaves
Birmingham at 12.10 at noon, just at the time it arrived
at the points where the London and North-Western car-
riages are shunted, was run into by the New-street-train,
which properly should have drawn up clear of this
point. The engines both reached the same point at
the same moment, and came into violent collision
with each other. The trains fortunately came to •
stand before the passenger carriages could get into the
same proximity as the engines, but their occupants were
a'armed ; noue, however, were injured. The engines were
much damaged, and they were thrown across the road so
as to block the down line of the Stourbridge Railway and
the branch to the London and North Western line. It
was some two or three hours before the line was cleared
again.—Birmingham Post.
ADVANCE OF BAKERS' WAGES IN BELFAST.—We
are informed that the n:aster bakers of Belfast have, to
some extent, agreed to the demand for an increase of
wages made by their workmen. A conference took place
between a number of the masters and workmen on Satur-
day evening, when • compromise was effected, so that the
threatened general strike by the men will not take place.
In consequence of the recent advance in the price of dour
and the increase in wages, the price of the 41b. loaf will,
we understand, be increased one penny from this date or
to-morrow.—Northern IVAiq._ _

THE PRICE OF MEAT AT ROMFORD.—A few days
ago a person came to Romford market and opened a stall
for the sale of meat. His prices were so low compared
with those in the towu that it caused quite a commotion,
and plenty of custom to the adventurer. Since that time,
both on Wednesdays and Saturdays, others, in conjunction
with him, have followed his exemple, and the resident
butchers have reduced their price in the same proportion.
Mutton is now ranging from bd. to 70. per lb.—Bases
Herald.

SURRENDER or KENTISH BITTCHET.I4.—A butcher
from the neighbourhood of the metropolis has visited
the town of Sevenoaks for the last three Saturda
with a large supply of meat, which he has retailed
at about 35 per c-nt. under the prices charged by our'
local butchers. For the first two days the "locals"
were not disposed to yield, but last Saturday, the itth
instant, believing that their occupation was in jeopardy.
they gave way, sod prices came down amosi.thing like two-
pence in the pound, and there was even an attempt to un-
dersell.—Sarrey Standard.
THE PUBLIC AND THE BUTCHERS AT LEWRS.—
A very important movement has been made here with
reference to the price of meat. Owing doubtless
to the " storm" which has lately arisen in conse-
quence of the extortionate prices charged for meat, the
butchers in many instances last week reduced their
prices 111.. per lb. But as 10d. s lb. was kill an unsatisfac-
tory price, several heads of families consulted with each
other sod decided upon making certain strong represent-
ations to their butchers. As a rule, we understand, these
representations had their due effect, and on Monday the
gentlemen referred to received no intimation from their
butchers that the prices were reduced to 9d. per lb., for
beef and mutton, first joints, and to fid. per lb. for the
secondary joints. It is stated that this reduction bas not
yet been assented to with entire unanimity by the brethren
of the blue frock in the town, but it is palpable that the
effect of a refusal on the part of one or two tradesmen in
any line of business to ffieet the market price would simply
be to drive away their cuvtomera. The public are very
much indebted to the gentlemen who have thus put their
shoulders to the wheel. The boon to all classes in the
reduction above-namesi will be very great. The food ques-
tion has of late assumed a very unsatisfactory asmsct, and
it was high time that some determined action should be
taken.—Sussex Adrerfiser.
JUSTICES' JUSTICE IN THE NORTH.—At a special
meeting of the Petty Sessions at Kendal, yesterday, a girl,
aged 12 years, named Louisa Plyer, au inmate of the
Westmorland Orphan Home, was brought up in custody,
charged with stealing fourpence from another inmate,
named Agnes Ann Newbolt. The prisoner admitted the
charge, and cried in expression of her contrition. The
magistrates sentenced her to the House of Correction for
14 days, and, after the expiration of that term, to a refer-
, =iffy for four years. On this sentence being pronounced
the magistrates' clerk interposed, reminding the justices
that the present was the first offence committed by the
girl ; but the chairman replied that the bench had power
to impose such a punishment, and therefore would exer-
cise it. The prisoner was scconlingly removed, and is now
on the criminal side of the local gaol.
