OXFORD, March 8.
REJECTION OF THE STATUE FOR ENDOWING

TILE GREEK PROFESSORSHIP,

A convocation was held in the Sheldoniau Theatre
this afternoon, at two o'clock, for the purpose of
taking the votes on the proposed new statute for
endowing the Greck professorship. The occasion
was one of great interest and excitement, and mem•
bers of convocation from all parts of England came
to take part in the struggle.

The Vice-Chancellor opened the proceedings, and
submitted the proposed statute, whereupon Arch'.
deacon Davison proceeded to address the house
against the statute amid great interruptions from its
supporters; but the archdeacon, nothing daunted,
persevered in procating egainst its passing.
The voting then took place, the piacets leaving
the theatre by one door, while the uon.placets left
by another; the proctors, assisted by other mem—
bers of convocation, acting as tellers. About three
o'clock the voting was brought to a close, and the
proctors cast up the votes.
It was evident from the commencement that the
non-placets were in a large majority, but, greatly
to the surprise of every one, the Senior Proctor,
through nervousness,. proclaimed " Majori parti
placet." He immediately after dipcovered that ho
had made a slight mistake, but not early enough to
prevent such a demonstration of enthusiasm on the
part of Professor Jowett and the undergraduates in
the gallery as shook the very building. Order at
length being restored the Senior Proctor corrected
his slight mistake and announced " Majori parti
non-placet." The tables of course were immediately
turned. The opponents of the statute were in
ecstasies, and its supporters, who before were so,
enthusiastic with their cheers, indulged in g4oans
and hisses. The numbers were :
Non-placet
Placet

467
',3jJ

Majority against the statuto „ 72

Among the supporters of the statute were the
E-Irl of llarrowey, Mr. Cardwell, M.P., Lord
Taunton, Hon. E. L. Stanley, the Dean of West-
minster, the Dean of Christ Church; Mr. C. Neste,
M.P., Dr. Pusey, Professor Pearson, raid Mr.
Grant-Duff, M.P. Among .the opponents were
Archdeacon Denison, Mr. Henley, M.P., Sir Staf-
ford Northeote, M.P., Rev. Dr. Irons, Rev.. Dr.
Jeif, and Rev. Dr. Hersey.

Lted to a small extent, and a recovery having
ken place, the latest quotations are the same as

ARTIFICIAL RAINBOW.—M. J Daboseq has con-
rived for the French theatre a'method of imitating
',le rainbow, of which Cosmos speaks very highly. He
Inploys an electric light, obtained with the aid of 100
lumen elements. The first lenses of his optical apparatus
ender the rays from this source parallel, and transmit
hem through a rainbow-shaped hole in a screen to a double
onvex lens of very short focus, from which they pass to a
oriera. and emerge with sufficient divergence to make an
Elective •rainbow on a aerden about six yards off. This
ainbow is said to be brilliant even when t4e whole pcene is
