OXFORD UNIVERSITY.

ELECTION OF THE EARL OF DERBY AS
CHANCELLOR.

OXFORD, TIIEFDAY.—A Convocation was held here
this day at noon for the purpose of electing a Chancel-
lor of the *University, in the room of his Grace the late
Duke of Wellington. The proceedings took place in
Convocation Hall, before the Vice-Chancellor (Dr.
Plumptre), but no opposition appearing—the Earl of
' Derby being the only candidate—little public interest
was excited on the occasion, though there was a tolerably
1 full attendance of the members of the University, with
here and there a sprinkling of ladies. Amongst the
gentlemen we observed, besides the Rev. the Vice-Chan-
cellor, the Dean of Christ Church, the Master of Balliol
College, the Provost of Oriel, the Principal of Erase-
nose College, the President of Trinity College, the War-
den of Merton College, the Principal of Jesus College,
the President of Corpus Christi College, the Warden of
Wadham College, the Principal of St. Alban Hall, the
Principal of Magdalen Hall, the President of St. John's
College, the Warden of All Souls College, the Principal
of St. Edmund Hall, the Rector of Lincoln College, the
Principal of St. Mary Hall, the Provost Of Worcester
College, Archdeacon Clarke, Dr. Ashurst, Rev. Dr.
Bull, canon of Christ Church; Rev. Mr. Michell, Rev.
Dr. Bandinel, Rev. Mr. Cornish, Rev. Mr. Gandell, Rev.

Wayte, Rev. Mr. Moberloy, Rev. Mr. Hackman, &c.
The Rev. the VICE-CHANCELLOR having briefly stated
the object of the assembling of Convocation,
The Registrar of the University (Dr. Buss) read the
statutes referring to the election, together with the Bri-
bery Act.

The Senior Proctor (the Rev. W. C. LAKE, of Rallied
College) hero rose and asked permission of the Vice-
Claance:tor to address the house upon the subject of the
election.
The Rev. the VICE-CHANCELLOR said he would not
refuse the request of the Rev. Gentleman, though at
that particular moment there was no question formally
before the house.

The SENIOR PROCTOR then proceeded to address the
assembly in a Latin oration, of which the purport was as
follows:—He raid that as it appeared the election of
the Earl of Derby as Chancellor of the University was
to be unopposed, he could have wished that he might be
spaced the necessity of saying anything which was cal-
culated to interrupt what seemed to be the unanimity of
tho Convocation. He foresaw, however, that if the
business of the day were transacted in perfect silence, a
very &Ilse impression might be created with respect to
the feeling with which the University regarded the
event.—(Cheers.) Partly, ho believed, on account of
the loeg vacation, and partly, he must also say, by the
fault of the University itself, no opportunity had been
given in the present instance for deliberation upon one
of the most important subjects which it was possible to
submit to the University.—(Partial cheers.) He
had deemed it, therefore, not to be inconsistent with his
duty, as Proctor of that University, and on behalf of
many resident, as well as of many more who were not
yet resident, to express to Convocation that which he
was convinced was a wide-spread and very prevalent
feeling. Let it not be supposed for a moment that he
had any intention of uttering a single word that was
hostile to the distinguished nobleman who was to be
nominated their Chancellor that day. The Earl of
Derby had said and done things which he (the Senior
Proctor) certainly did not much complain of; but he
must say that he was totally at a loss to conceive how such,
speeches and acts of the Noble Earl could have recom-
mended him to their suffrages (turning to the doctors
and masters). He confessed for himself that he greatly
wondered at if, and he thought that hereafter they them-
selves would be equally surprised. Though he (the
Senior Proctor) did not appear before them as one of the
supporters of the Earl of Derby, yet he most willingly
recognised and acknowledged his high accomplishments,
his distinguished character, his vigorous intellect, his
great ability, his almost hereditary fame; and if the
Noble Earl had ever shown any interest in their
academic affairs, he (the Senior Proctor) had no doubt
that he would have been as able to assist them with his
counsels as he might be to defend them by his eloquence.
But the circumstance which he especially regretted was
the great rapidity with which they had proceeded to this
election. The transaction of a matter of such vast im-
portance at a period when the University was almost
deserted, and the absence of all consultation upon so
grave a subject on the part of those who were the most
deeply concerned in maintaining the character and the
credit of the University. He was peeectly ready to
allow that the expedition which had been used was the
result of a wish to save the University from incon-
venience • still, ho could not admit that this design, how-
ever wed intentioned, had been marked by the prudence
with which all their affairs ought to be conducted; and
he thought it would be well to consider whether they
were not now establishing a precedent which might
hereafter be applied to promoting objects of party in-
trigue, rather than in conformity with the feelings which
be thoroughly believed to have influenced the Vice-
Chancellor. Believing, then, that it was of the highest mo-
ment to the interests of the University that its business
should be conducted with the gravest deliberation and
the amplest discussion, he had telt himself imperatively
called upon, thus publicly and in his official capacity, to
deplore the circumstance that on this important occa-
sion—ho granted with no evil intention, nevertheless by
a great imprudence—a full, free, and fair opportunity
bad not been given to the whole University for express-
ing its deliberate and matured opinion.—(Applause.)
The VicE-CHANCELLOR'S reply, also in Latin, was to
this effect:—He said the Senior Proctor had expostulated
with him upon the haste with which the University had
proceeded to the election. He could assure the assembly,
however, that everything which had been done was in
strict conformity with statute and with usage.—(Ap-
plause.) In the course of the last 80 years there had
been two instances in which vacancies in the Chancellor-
ship of the University had been filled up during the long
vacation. In one of these cases the Chancellor died in
the month of September, and the election of his succes-
sor took place on the 3d of the following mouth of Oc-
tober. In the other, the Chancellor died in the month of
August, and his successor was appointed in September.
He hoped, therefore, that ho had vindicated himself to
the University for having, uninfluenced by party consi-
derations or private views, done what he thought best
for the University and most in conformity with custom.
The election was then proceeded with in the usual
manner. No formal nomination was made; but a few
members of Convocation recorded their votes for the
Earl of Derby, who, after proclamation by the esquire
beadel (Mr.V. Cox), was declared by the Rev. the Vice-
Chancellor to be unanimously elected. Subsequently
the voting-papers were collected, and, according to im-
memorial custom at all University elections, placed in a
brazier and consumed by fire. With this ceremony,
amusing to all but the sedate gentlemen who superin-
tended its performance, the business of the election ter-
minated.

The Earl of Derby was not present.
The following notice has just been issued :
" A Convocation will be holden on Wednesday next,
the 13th inst., at 10 o'clock, for the purpose of affixing
the University seal to the instrument of election of
Right Hon. the Earl of Derby as Chancellor of the Uni the
-
versity.
