LATEST FROM FRANCE.

The applications for tickets of admission to Notre
Dame on Sunday continue to pour in to every
public functionary of State. Some estimate them
at 30,000, but 20,000 may be about the number.
Every effort has been made to accommodate as
many as possible ; but it is certain that if 30,000
demands have been made, those who are successful
will be rather limited.

Two individuals, cooks by profession, were sen-
tenced by the police court of Paris, on Thursday,
to imprisonment for fifteen days, and to pay a fine
of 16f.. for having uttered seditious cries on the
Boulevard St. Martin, on the 11th inst. Some
arrests are also said to have been made of persons
using " violent language" with reference to the
marriage, one of which took place in the Rue du
Bac.

SOUTH AMERICA.
By the latest dates from Tampico, we learn that
the Mexican Government steamer Estado de
INAxico, having entered that port, was summoned
to surrender by the revolutionists, which the com-
mander was compelled to comply with. This is a
very important acquisition, as the Government of
Arista have only two other vessels of war, and they
are sailing ships. The next accounts will doubt-
less report a movement in the capital on the popu-
lt►r side. The revolution so far is a bloodless one.

VISIT OF THE CHANCELLOR OF THE
EXCHEQUER TO OXFORD.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer has taken the oppor-
tunity afforded by the Parliamentary recess to pay a visit
to his constituents, and is spending a few days with the
Regius Professor of Divinity.

On Thursday a luncheon was given in the Hall of
Balliol College, by Mr. Woollcombe, senior fellow and
tutor, Mr. Lake, the senior proctor, and also fellow and
tutor of that college, and Mr. Wall, the senior bursar,
to a large party assembled to meet the re-elected repre-
sentive of the University. Among the guests were the
Vice-Chancellor, the Provost of Oriel, the Principal of
Brasenose, the Warden of All Souls, the Master of Pem-
broke, the Principal of St. Alban Hall, the Junior Proc-
tor, Mr. Greswell, Mr. Ley, Mr. Gordon, Mr. Stokes,
of Christ Church, Mr. Haddan, Mr. Wayte, of Trinity,
Mr. Barrow, Mr. Hedley, of Queen's, Mr. Omerod, of
Brasenose, Mr. Rawlinson, Mr. Fanshawe, of Exeter,
Mr. Hext, of Corpus, Mr. Goldwin Smith, of Univer-
sity, Mr. Price, of Pembroke, and Mr. Espin, of Lincoln,
and a large number of Masters of Arts, from various col-
leges, with several ladies. After the discussion of a
most liberal supply of viands,
Mr. WALL rose, and after a few words, said, he felt
sure that all would heartily join with him in wishing
health and strength to the " Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer."

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

OUNDLE STEEPLECHASES.

Stewards—The Earl of Cardigan, Lord Burghersh,
and Hubert de Burgh,

A very delightful- day's sport, in a delightfully pic-
turesque country, over grass land on the estate of Earl
Cardigan, took place yesterday near the quaint town of
Oundle. The weather was clear though cold, the stand
substantially erected, and the arrangements well carried
out. Indeed few meetings, with a rise in the character
of the sport, and an increase of the fields, which would
follow popularity, deserve better than this. The course
is now three miles on the opposite side of Oundle to that
of former years, and is an immense improvement on the
old one. The attendance from the metropolis was re-
spectable, and the events ran off with considerable
punctuality.

Proceed lost start, and soon after refused the brook,
and ran into it, unshipping 011iver, and being out of the
race. Johnny Barrie made the running, Trust-me-not
and Ploughboy following ;• Forest Lad, Simple Peter,
and Ex-minister in a group. Thus they went in and
out of Glapthorne-lane, and round the further turn.
Coming to the stand-field, Ploughboy lay next to Johnny
Barrie, and these two were alternately changing their
positions. Simple Peter fell in the rear coming home,
and Ex-minister resigned. Ploughboy now got a good
lead, Forest Lad lying a bit out of his ground, and both
he and Trust-me-not blundering a fence from home.
Finally, Ploughboy won an up-hill race by three lengths
from Forest Lad, Trust-me-not third by four lengths
from second, and Johnny Barrie fourth.
