HYDROPHOBIA.—We are sorry to observe,
that we never recollect a season when so many
accnunts reached us of the prevalence of canine
madness. The last German mail states, that, at
Augsburgh, several individuals who had been
bitten by mad dogs, had fallen a sacrifice to
hydrophobia. The magistrates had caused the
destruction of upwards of 600 dogs, though a
great many were still remaining. At Copen-
hagen the same dreadful malady had visited the
canine race, and the police was busied .n taking
measures to prevent the distresr:ing coniequencea.

OXFORD, JULY 2.

Our Commemoration Week opened with
excellent Concerts at the Music Room, on Monday and Tues-
day. The room was much thinner than on former times, and
we cannot but think that the late brilliant Concerts at our
Town Hall, where we had the pleasure of hailing the " divine
Catalani;" greatly affected them. Mr. Sapio sung in his usual
Chaste and manly style. It is no undeserved compliment to
that Gentleman to say, he excelled in, every thing lie under-
took.. Of his ballads we need only Mention that the pretty
Scotch air of " Kelvin Grove" was rapturously encored, as
it was at the Town 'Hall; Where he was engaired with
Madame Catalani. We are happy here to have an opportu-
nity of thanking Mr. Sapio for•the introduction of Bishop's
song, " Oryntilia, nly beloved." We understand it had
been laid on the shelf for some years, till his good' taste brought it
again into the orchestra. Now hehas given it new life, we hope
It will still keep flourishing,. d " beloved.".—Miss Stephens
can receive no addition to i-errt v ' cioni any praise of ours. It
is enough to say, that she tiessib g--,,as we have always heard

her, with that sweetness, anti delivacy of taste, which those
atgashrtow.how to estimate who have had the pleasure of bear-
ing her.
On Tuesday the annual commemoration of that most useful
foundation, the Radcliffe Infirmary, was celebrated at the Uni-
versity church, when he usual choir service was performed in a
manner highly creditable to the organist, and Gentlemen
composing it. The day of the celebration happening on that of
St. Peter's, afforded a treat to the lovers of sacred song ; and
we have heard from more than one auditor the peculiar gratifi.
cation they felt not only from the performance of that beautiful
anthem of Kent's, " When the Son of Man," so aptly selected
for this occasion, but from the sublime Nicene Creed of Mr.
King ; music which even Oxonians (though in the midst of'
Choirs) seldom have opportunity of hearing, being performed'
only at an early hour on Sundays and Holydsys ; that divine
verse, " And he was crucified," was felt by all. There could
not, we believe, have been selected a composition of' the kind
whose chords could have had greater effect in drawing away
'the soul from all worldly thoughts, and leading us to n contem-
plation of the awful place in which we stood, and the purpose
for which we were assembled. The sermon was preached by
the Very Rev, the Dean of Christ Church-: it was neat, plain,
clear, excellent—so well suited to the occasion, that we could wish
all our readers had been his auditors, especially as it concerned
those towards whom we hope all, of whatever sect or party, are ac-
tuated with unanimous sentiments 8;4 feelings ofbenevolence—
the indigent and distressed. sick. There is not a time in which
the eye of God beams down more kindly on his frail creation
than when he sees them with unaffected piety employed in dis-
intend acts of kindness and charity. It is on such occasions
as the one we are speaking of, that this thought reigns upper-
most in our minds. It was not a little. heightened too by the
affecting appeal of the Preacher: he took his text from John
13--" A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one
another." We gladly give up a part of our columns to a few
observations of the Reverend Dean. He told us, it was not a
new commanthnent to us : the example anti constant instruc-
tions of our Lord plainly and unequivocally tell us what it is
to love our neighbour. It was a new one. to The Jews, whose
hatred to every sect not their own contituted almost a part of
their law. After explaining his text, he pointed out in a man-
ner clear to the meanest understanding the duty we owe to each
other—the love we ought to show man to man, front the ex.
press commands of God. He owned they were observation.
common and trite; but that it did not follow &bet-were equally
and commonly considered and felt. In order to make us feel
them, he appealed to the inward satisfaction that must arise in
our hearts by assisting a distressed brother : the share we
ought to take on ourselves in alleviating the miseries of our
fellow-creatures (should nothing else prevail), from the con.
sideration of the liability of a eh* in our own, or in the-
condition of some of tboaa-most d' 'to us ; impressing ale°
niFon us the everlasting reward pro SW by our Saviour him-
self, " Inasmuch as ye have done it to one of the least of
these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Enter ye
into the joy of your Lord." ' He animadverted to the ex-
cellent regulations of the establishment--the kindness and
attention bestowed on the unfortunate, individually--of
the supply of their spiritual as well as bodily wants._
Be pointed out the universal benefit arising from an
establishment of this nature, from the additional skill which
those of the medical profession must necessarily acquire, when.
such diverse cases are brought together for their inspection and
care, contrasting the difference there would have been in this
useful and necessary profession had no such establishments
been set on foot. The subscription received at the doors
amounted to 611. Os: gd. Comparing this with former subscrips
tions, we arc compelled to express our sorrow that our citizens
and friends in the country do not open their purses more libe-
rally for its support. We should consider the difference be-
tween an establishment of this kind and that of one where
the body conducting it may receive' emoluMents for care
and attention bestowed. But when we consider it is
an Infirmary we are speaking of, from which ourselves,
(not to our friends, or our neighbours, may one day be under
the necessity of receiving surgical aid
men-
tion the universal love we ought to cherish towards the
unfortunate and needy sick), and that instead of any- emolument,
the very body of Gentlemen conducting it not only bestow their
labour and attention cheerfully, willingly, and gratuitously in its
regulations; but also handsomely assist with their purses in its
maintenance—we cannot, we say, but express our sorrow that
the burden is thrown on so very few. The endowment without
such kind assistance would not suffice. The savage and barbarian
will comfort his afflicted brother in life, and when dead, each, as
he passes, by, will pile one stone on the heap that others
have placed to his memory, till it becomes a lasting monu-
ment. We know such monuments are unavailing. We
can gain, however, one lesson from it—we learn pity to
our fellow creatures. We, however, have a pile, a build.
ing that Wants additional, that requires annual, increase
and support. Every stone will add to a building, every lump
mite will give its peculiar assist.

We did not see the venerable face of our public orator, Mr.
Crowe, of New College, and were sorry upon inquiry to find
that he was too unwell to make his appearance. Mr. Hare, of
New College, supplied his place in the recital of the usual
oration.

On Wednesday last, the day of the public commemoration
of benefactors to the University, the Alaster and Fellows of
Pembroke College Celebrated the Commencement of the 3d cen-
tury from the endowment of the College, by a sumptuous enter-
tainment in the Hall, to which such of the present and former
Members of the College were invited, as from their local
situation, could be expected to attend. Precisely at hull=
past five the company sat down to dinner, all the tables being
tilled. After the toast to the pious memory of the first founders
of Pembroke College, an appropriate Latip oration was deli-
vered by Mr. Echnund Goodenough Bayley, the Senior Foun-
der's.kin Scholar on the Tesdale foundation. The evening
was spent in the greatest hilatitymnid the pleasing recollections
of past intimacies, and with lively and reiterated demonstrations
of that reciprocal esteem and attachment which, in a it ell-tegu-

lated society, will ever exist between the governors and the
governed.
The Ball in the Town Hall on Wednesday evening was not
so numerously attended as was expected. This is the more to
be regretted, on account of the vast profusion of refreshments
provided by Mrs. Dupuis for the occasion, and which did
honour to her superior taste and liberality—we have no doubt
she must be a considerable loser by it.
This day the following Degrees were conferred :
