ADULTERATION OF BUTTER.—From the last report o
the Analytical Sanitary Commission, published in the
Lancet, it appears that on an examination of forty-eight
samples of different butters, they all contained large
quantities (more or less) of water and salt ; in many
cases as much as a fourth or even a third of the
former, and of the latter article a great quantity
is purposely added to increase the weight and bulk,
over and above that which may be necessary for
the preservation of the butter. A simple method of
determining approximately the amount of water present
in any sample is to melt the butter, fill a small bottle
with it, and place it near the fire for half-an-hour or
so ; the water, as also the salt, will sink, on account
of their weight. The water thus separated has usually a
milkyappearance, conveying theimpression that it contains
flour—an impression, however, which, in all the samples
examined, had proved to be erroneous. This appearance
has doubtless deceived many, and has led to the report that
butter is frequently adulterated with various farinaceous
substances. The low kinds of butter known by the term
" bosh " were formerly adulterated in this way, and
they may still be so In some rare cases. Some years
since the adulteration of butter with flour was so com-
mon that Mr. Miller, a very intelligent butter factor of
Wellington-chambers, London-bridge, brought this sub-
jreecetbAiteTlfore the Provost of Glasgow, who declared the
yRI
whole of the butter so adulterat( gl to be forfeited. More

" But, in reference io the University and its governance
the province of the Chancellor is to look to the public: go-
vernment of the entire University, to guard its franchises
and privileges, and also, with the consent of the Univer-
sity, to enter into anti establish all concord and compo-
sitions respepting them.
" To convene the congregations of the regents, and also
those of the regents aW' r,nohiregont.a,..wb.erein nothing can
Vtcrpogire'r put to the vote without the consent of him-
self or the Vice-Chancellor • to advance to scholastic de-
grees worthy persons who have! satisfied the requisitions of
the University statutes ; and to repel therefrom those who
are unworthy through want of character or knowledge.
" To hear, end, and determine all controversies regard-
ing causes, civil, spiritual, and criminal, which are deter-
minable within the University, and appertain to scholars
or persons privileged, whether on both sides, or on one
side only ; and to apply to the use of the University the
forfeitures and amercements thence arising.
" To nominate his own Commissary-General, or Vice-
Chancellor, or Vice-Gerant every year.
" To choose the High Steward of the University, and the
Deputy High Steward, as often as their offices become va-
cant; to celebrate and hold the courts and leets (which are
also called views of frank-pledge), and the pleading and
juridical days of the University, commonly called law-days.
"To nominate or choose every year one of the clerks of
the market ; also to punish offenders against the statutes
of the University with corporal chastisement, money fine,
imprisonment, degradation, suspension from degrees, die-
commoning, proscription, banishment, or expulsion from
the University, censures ecclesiastical, or in any other
reasonable manner (as the quality of the offence requires,
and so far as is allowable by the statutes and privileges of
the University) respectively ; to punish at discretion
(either in court or out of it) all offences against which no
provision has been made by any special statute, or for
which no punishment has been enacted by the statutes ;
also in respect to the interdict, whereby townsmen are
debarred from dealing with scholars and privileged per-
sons, or privileged persons are ousted of the privilege (if
the offence in his judgment appears to do nerve it), and at
once to wield this thunderbolt of discommoning, and not
to regard the first stages of preliminary fines which the
statutes require.
" Also, with th consent of the University, to sanction
ordinances and statutes (where the usage so requires), or
after sanction, to abrogate them.
" To take upon himself the government of the halls, and
the administration thereof, as a case peculiarly his own,
and to that end to visit them (so often as to him seems
meet), and to dispose of their headships.
" To settle the incorporations of artisans within the pre-
cinct of the University, with its consent. To grant by his
own single authority, or that of the Vice-Chancellor
licences to wine sellers to set up wine shops.
" He must take a yearly oath from the burgessses, and
the sheriff and under-sheriff of the county of Oxford; also,
if there are any other duties specially annexed to the
function of the Chancellorship, according to the statutes,
customs, and privileges of the University, he is to carry
them out, and exercise them all and each in behalf of his
office."

The reception of the Earl of Derby, in spite of I
the too obvious prominence given to political aims
and designs in the copious list of partisan doctors
and graduates which heralded his advent, has been
everything that was to be expected from the ardent
championship of his friends and the generous chi-
, valry of his opponents. On an occasion like the
present good thost,e dictates that rival interests and
feelings should ue smoothed down into unison with
the sentiments of welcome, that even opponents
may consistently entertain towards a guest on
whom the choice of the University has fallen. Tho
general spirit seems to be Well expressed in the
tripping verse of a clever squib just published,
under the title of "A Song of the Enetenia :"
" Let the sparkling stream of pleasure leap undimmed
beneath the sun,
Stay the clouds, and lift the shadows, till its merry
course be run.
Leave the polling days to faction, at the peaceful feast
be rest !
Little favour finds the statesman, courtesy shall greet
the guest.
When the crowd with bounding pulses cries tumultu-
ously rejoice,
Hope shall lend her calmer music, hope shall raise her
fainter voice.
Rivals meeting in the revel ! cease in thought or word
to cope—
Derby, thousand voices pledge thee—fill the goblet—
drink to hope."

The first striking feature in the occurrences of
to-day was the formation of the grand procession
to accompany the Chancellor from Worcester Col-
lege to the Sheldonian Theatre. This was certainly
a very brilliant and stately show, and, from the
number of dignified ecclesiastics present, is thought
to have been the finest thing of the kind ever wit-
nessed at Oxford. It consisted of the Vice-Chan-
cellor and heads of houses ; the noblemen mem-
bers of the University in their dresses of state ; the
bishops, thirteen in number, including the Bishops
of Oxford, London, Exeter, Lincoln, Salisbury,
Chichester, St. Asaph, St. Andrew's, Quebec,
Montreal, Ohio, Nova Scotia, &c., the doctors of
divinity, law, and physic, the proctors, and the
masters of arts.

The interior of the Sheldonian Theatre on a
commemoration day is certainly one of the most
imposing sights in England, and it probably never
presented a finer coup-d'ceil than it did to-day. By
ten o'clock every disposable inch of space, whether
in the area or galleries, was completely occupied, and
any unlucky wight who had not obtained accommo-
dation at that hour was obliged to abandon all hope
of it for the day. The area crowded with the elite
of the clergy from far and near, the lower galleries
filled with elegantly dressed ladies in the most
charming variety of toilets, and the upper gal-
leries crammed with a mass of undergraduates,
noisy and tumultuous as ever, make up a scene as
characteristic as it is dazzling. The favourite
amusement of the students who fill ago higher tier
is to give expression to the feelings with which they
regard the most eminent personages of the era,
present or absent, and Elvin the chief topics of the
day, by ear-splitting acclamations or hootings, as
the case may be. There is as much of mere fun
and boisterous animal spirits in this as of any more
serious element, but some of these manifes-
tations of sentiment deserve specification. Thus
the names of Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Cardwell,
when mentioned, elicited a burst of cheering as
cordial as it was general ; those of Lord Aberdeen
and Lord Lyndhurst were greeted with similar,
though more partial expressions of applause. Lord
Derby's name was hailed with plaudits that showed
no lack of enthusiasm, which were renewed when
that of his countess was pronounced. Lord John
Russell and one or two other statesmen. seemed by
no means so popular with the Oxonians, judging
from their equivocal reception ;while the names of
Messrs. Cobden and Bright, on being called out by
some of those who took on themselves to act the
part of prompters, roused a perfect storm of ob-
loquy. The mot of " Disraeli and Protection" was
received with faint cheering and laughter ; but
some of the undergraduates would
lungs,
not -be content
with testing the feelings of the auditory in a less
mixed form, and the name .of Benjamin Disraeli,'
when shouted forth by a pair of stentorian
became the signal for manifestations of conflicting
from the two ,parties into which it was
evidently divided. After a warm struggle be-
tween the applauders and the hooters, in which
it was difficult to say where the weight of
of the latter ultimately
numbers lay, the energy
slackened, and the zeal of friendly partisanship in-
creased until it became decidedly predominant.
Amongst the oddities of these utterances of the vox
popuu we may enumerate
an,
the following " :—" Mrs.
"Colonel
" the Queen's last baby, ' " the Gentle-
men in the crush below," " the illustrious foreign-
Lsiobutisho Napoleon," "Cardinal Wiseman,

ers, &v.
At half-past ten the Earl of Derby, in his full
official costume as Chancellor, entered the hall, and
took his place in the state seat reserved for the chief
academic dignitary. The noble earl was accompa-
nied, besides the right rev. prelates above men-
tioned, by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cam-
bridge, his Royal Highness the Hereditary Grand
Duke of Mecklenburg Strelitz (on whom degrees of
D.C.L. had been conferred by diploma in a convo-
cation held on the preceding day) ; Mr. Ingersoll,
, Minister from the United States ; Mr. Van Buren,

The formula of proposition runs as follows :
" Placetne venerabili huic Convocationi, ut vir
pmnobilis (aut vir honoratissimus), &c., admitatur
ad. gradum Doctoris Juris Civilis, honoris causa ?
Placetne vobis, Domini Doctores Placetne vobis,
magistri 1" This is read by the Chancellor.,,and,
naet_by the placets of the graduates asigmbled in
the area beneath. In spite of etiquette, an occa-
sional non-placet was heard, and sometimes, too,
an ultra-vigorous "inaximenobis," which furnished
some matter of amusement to diversify the detail
of official routine. A Latin speech from Dr. Phil-
limore followed, quite inaudible in the confusion
on presenting the new-made graduates to the Chan-
cellor, to whom each paid the homage of an obei-
sance before passing to his seat among the doctors.
Dr. Mitchell, Vice7President of Magdalen Hall,
afterwards delivered the Creweian Oration, spoken
at every commemmoration in praise of the founders
and benefactors of colleges.
The remaining business of the Convocation con-
sisted in the reading of the English prose essay for
the Chancellor's prize, "On Popular Poetry con-
sidered as a test of National Character," by Mr.
Day, of Wadham College, and of odes composed in
honour of the Installation, for which prizes have
been awarded, in Greek verse by Mr. Griffiths, of
Wadham College, and Mr. Falcon, of Queen's Col-
lege ; in Latin verse by Mr. Atkinson, of Exeter
College, and Mr. Darner, of Trinity College ; in
English verse by Mr. Alexander, of New-Inn-hall,
and Mr. Arnold, of University College. After the
conclusion of the ceremonial the noble Chancellor,
attended as before, returned to the Vice-Chancel-
lor's residence in Worcester College.
In the afternoon a grand horticultural show and
promenade took place in the beautiful gardens of
Worcester College, bordering the Isis. It was at-
tended by the Earl and Countess of Derby, and by
all the nobility and gentry at present in Oxford,
and went off, favoured by beautiful weather, as
brilliantly as could be desired. At four o'clock the
Chancellor held a public levee in the library of the
Taylor Institution, where many of the dignitaries
of the University and the resident Masters of Arts
had the honour of a personal introduction to their
Chancellor.

The annual procession of boats took place last
night on the Isis, and was attended by an unusually
large concourse of spectators, at least 10,000 in
number, attracted by the fineness of the evening.
The " eights" started from Ifiley at seven o'clock,
rowed up and saluted the head boat, which was
stationed at the University barge, by tossing their
oars, passed under the left hand arch of Foley-
bridge, out again by the centre arch, and then pro-
ceeded clown the river, round a punt moored off
the Long-bridge, and returned up. The order of
boats was as follows :---

•
1. Brasenose.
2. Baliol.
3. Worcester.
4. Christ Church.
5. Pembroke.
6. Queen's.
7. Exeter. _
8. Lincoln.

St. John's.
10. Wadham.
11. New.
12. Trinity.
13. University.
14. Jesus.
15. Corpus.
16. Oriel.

CULHAM DIOCESAN TRAINING COLLEGE-
SPEECH OF THE EARL OF DERBY.

OXFORD, TUESDAY.
The opening of this college, which was to form part of
the proceedings connected with the installation of the
Earl of Derby as Chancellor of this University, took
place yesterday afternoon. There was a very large at-
tendance of clergy and laity. On the platform, erected
at the western end of the College grounds, there were
the Bishop of Oxford, Bishop of Salisbury, Bishop of
Chichester, Bishop of St. Asaph, Bishop of Montreal,
Bishop of Cape Town, and the Bishop of Nova Scotia,
Archdeacon of Oxford, Archdeacon Thorpe, of Bristol,
Archdeacon of Westminster, the Earl and Countess of
Derby, Earl Hardwicke, Lord Stanley, M.P., Lady
Emma Stanley, the High Sheriff of Oxford, and lady,
&c. &c.

The ceremony consisted in the Bishop of Oxford hand-
ing the keys of the College to the Rev. the Principal ;
and in reference to the object of the College, stated that
it was for the special benefit of those who formed the
staple and strength of this country. His lordship then
introduced the Earl of Derby to the meeting.

The Earl of DERBY then advanced to the front of the
platform, and was enthusiastically cheered. He said—
Ladies and gentlemen—Although I feel that I can add
little to, and may even diminish something from, the
effect of that which has been so clearly and solemnly
placed before you by the right reverend prelate who pre-
sides over this diocese, yet I cannot deprive myself of
the satisfaction of assuring him and you how highly I
feel myself honoured as being invited to take part, in
virtue of my recent connexion with this diocese, in the
important proceedings of this day—proceedings which
cannot but be matter of the deepest interest to all those,
who, like myself, and like those whom I have the ho-
nour of addressing, feel warmly on behalf of the moral
training and social advancement of the population of
this great country. (Applause.) And when I speak of
the population I mean emphatically to apply this obser-
vation to that portion of it which has been correctly
stated by the right rev. prelate to be the strength and
staple of this country—those middle classes who are daily
rising in intelligence and importance, daily acquiring
more weight in the social scale, and becoming of more
and more importance to the general welfare ; but for
whose moral training till of late years provision has been
made by the country, as compared with the classes
above them or below them, very disproportionate to the
amount of influence which, for good or for evil, that
portion of the population must exercise on the country
at large. (Hear, hear.) We live in an age of progress.
It is is impossible to deny it. We live in an age of
rapid and unprecedented material progress. Science is
every day making new strides. Fresh discoveries and
fresh inventions are day by day exercising their influence
upon the whole social habits and constitutional elements
of the people of this country. Within the memory of
many of those whom I now address—within my own me-
mory, certainly—great discoveries have taken place, whose
operations are partly visible, but which are much more
indirect and not at once perceived, materially affecting
the whole social condition of this country. We do not
take notice, as they arise, of those great discoveries and
great inventions. We do not estimate beforehand their
results, and after they have been discovered, and those
results develope themselves, wefamiliarise ourselves with
the state of things that exist, but forget to look back at
the past, and we forget too much to compare the condi-
tions that have existed with that which now seems so
familiar to us. It is only within the course of the last
few years, that that mighty discovery has been added to
the realms of science, by which, to use the forcible ex-
pression I have somewhere heard, "We seize hold of
the lightning's spark, and we use it as our new pen,
annihilating time and distance, for the purpose of trans-
mitting, in an incredibly short space of time, our
thoughts, our feelings, and our intelligence to the most
distant corners of this, and even of other countries."
(Applause.) It was said by one of old, that there was,
in the figurative sense, an electrical chain by which we
were directly bound ; but that electrical chain has ceased
to be a figure of speech, and that mighty power is bring-
ing together, for good or for evil, the remotest corners
not only of these little islands, but of the whole habitable
world. Again, it is not many years since—l know not
whether I ought to confess it—that I was myself a
member of a committee of the Honse of Commons,
who rejected a bill, which, upon the showing of the
promoters, was introduced for the purpose of establish-
ing an iron railroad, and for applying to it, if found
practicable, the locomotive power of steam. I remember
yet further, when we boasted, and boasted with reason,
that we were in London, the best and most magnificently
lighted metropolis in the world, while our boasted illu-
mination consisted of some wretched oil lamps, which
would now be despised by the pettiest country town,
and when there was no end to torrents of ingenious ri-
dicule which were cast upon the Utopian idea of pro-
ducing light from gas. (Laughter.) I might go further ;
why, a whole generation has not passed and gone by
since the first introduction of the system which has
itself been superseded. There are living now those who
