OXFORD COMMEMORATION

OXFORD, June 4.—On this, the chief day of commemo-
ration, the Sheldonian theatre was the great point of
attraction. At ten o'clock the theatre was thrown open
and was filled in an instant. The undergraduates com-
menced the business of the morning with their usual
characteristic diversion, expressing their loyalty to the
Queen, for whom right hearty and enthusiastic cheers were
given. Prince Albert succeeded, end was very warmly
received. The cry of "Johnny Russell" elicited a volly of
hisses and groans; and Mr. Gladstone was quite as un-
popular ; but for each some faint and scattered cheers were
given. The Bishop of Oxford was greeted twice with un-
mingled applause. The names of General Williams and
Omer Pacha called forth deafening acclamations. On the
cry of " Gavezzi" being raised, never hardly was heard
such a tumult, and such protracted groaning and hissing.
The Emperor of Austria and the King of Prussia seemed
to be in no better odour ; but when the Emperor Napoleon
was called with three cheers, they were given with a gusto
and a promptitude betokening that confidence is still un-
shaken in our ally. The only remaining cries of any par-
ticular note were those of the Duke of Cambridge, the E al
of Cardigan, and Lord Clarendon, each of which were
welcomed with prolonged acclamation.

In the meaniime, Prince Albert, the Prince Regent of
Baden, and the Prince of Prussia, bad arrived in Oxford in
a special train on the Great Western Railway, the illustrious
party being conveyed from the station in two Royal car-
riages to the residence of the Vice-Chancellor at Worcester
College, and having gor.e through the usual formalities of
presentation, the Royal party returned to their carriages,
and drove to the theatre, where they arrived about a
quarter past eleven o'clock. The Chancellor (the Earl of
Derby), the Vice-Chancellor, the personages selected for the
honours of the day, the proctors and the heads of houses,
who had assembled at Worcester College, formed themselves
into a procession, and followed the cortege to the theatre.
A 'Ale outburst from the organ of the sublime notes of
the National Anthem betokened the entrance of the Univer-
sity dignitaries and their illustrious visitors, but the strain
was almost instantaneously drowned by the continuous
hurrahs and shouts which rang v, it hin the building, and
must have been heard for a long distance. When the
applause had subsided the Chancellor rose, and read the
diplomas of Convocation conferring the honorary degree of
D.C.L. upon the Prince of Prussia and the Prince Regent
of Baden, the announcement of which was received with
renewed cheering.
The degree of D.C.L. was then conferred on the dis-
tinguished persons, a list of whom ce published on Tuesday
last. Unfortunately Sir W. F. Williams, of Kars, and
General Sir Colin Campbell were absent, hut the mention
of their names elicited the most enthusiastic acclamation.
The Eorl of Clarendon and Admiral Sir E. Lyons were
more especially cheered in coming up to receive the degree
in the customary manner. Then followed the recitation of
the prizes. At half-past twelve o'clock the proceedings of
this exciting morning had been brought to a close.
