OXFORD UNIVERSITY ELECTION.—The
LONDON CORMITTEE for conducting the election of Mr.
DUDLEY PERCEVAL deem it necessary to state, that until the
definite refusal of Lord Chandos to be nominated was formally an-
nodnwd on Monday afternoon, they had not requested Mr. Perceval
to beMme the candidate at this most important crisis. They have now
the sincere pleasure of announcing that their selection has experi-
enced a most gratifying reception from those residents and non-resi-
dents who are anxious to see the University of Oxford represented,
not only by one of distinguished talents, but also by a sound Church-
man and consistent politician.
Determined to promote the success of their cause by every legiti-
mate exertion, they will Rot be diverted from their duty by unme-
rited obloquy from chagrined antagonis's, or by plausible mis-
statements in party periodicals, and they refer to the satisfactory
progress of the poll, that the attempts to create a prejudice to their
cause, by referring to the name of Lord Chandos, has proved to be
very unskilful electioneering tactics.
The Poll will be kept open until the 12th, daily, from 10 a.m. to
5 p.m., in order to afford every elector an opportunity of recording
his vote.
The London Committee sit daily at the Trafalgar Hotel, Charing-
cross; and the Oxford Committee in Magdalene Hall.
Jan. 5, 1853. C. LEMPRIERE, D.C.L., Hon. See.

Members of Convocation travelling by trains leaving Paddington
at 7.40, 9.45, 10.15, 11.15, 12.40, 2.0, will be enabled to vote on the
same day; a similar advantage may be obtained by trains leaving
Euston-square at 6.30 and 10,0 ; and those Members who have not
received Circulars are requested to attribute this apparent neglect to
the difficulty in obtaining their accurate addresses on such short
notice.

The train from Diacot to Oxford, on Thursday, Friday, and Satur-
day, at 2.40, is for the exclusive use of Mr. Perceval's supporters,
leaving London Kt 12.40, or travelling from other places.
