VISIT OF PRINCE ALBERT TO
THE UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD.
The announced intention of his Royal Highness Prince Al-
bert to visit Oxford yesterday, combined with the circumstance
of that being the day appointed for the annual commemora-
t on of the founders and benefactors of the various Colleges
and Halls, drew together from London, and the connties sur-
rounding this ancient seat of learning, a vast concourse of spec-
tators of the various interesting proceedings of which Oxford
was the scene.
Her Majesty and Prince Albert arrived at Nuneham, the
scat of his Grace the Archbishop of York, shortly after two
o'clock on Monday, where great preparations were made for
their reception A large party of students from the Uni-
versity repaired to Nuneham by water, rowing up the pictu-
tn -esque windings of their favourite Isis, and joined en..
thusia3tically in the acclamations by which her Majesty
and Prince Albert were received on their arrival. The "de-
monstration" was continued with so hearty a vigour long alter
her Majesty and the Royal suite had entered the Archbishop's
splendid residence that her Majesty and Prince Albert were
induced to present themselves on the balcony, nothing short of
which would apparently satisfy their numerous admirers, and
the acclamation was thereupon renewed with increased fervour.
A hope was for some time entertained by the young gentlemen
from the University that her Majesty would accompany the
Prince in his visit to Oxford. But this hope was presently
dispelled, her Majesty having been dissuaded by cogent reasons
from accompany ing her Royal consort, amongst which it is
sullicient to particularize this one—that the University author
rities would have been compelled, by ancient prescription, to
grant an entire teem—a concession which would have been at-
tended with great inconvenience.
Precisely at nine o'clock his Grace the Duke of Wellington,
ever distinguished by military precision as to time, drove into
the principal street, and set down at the Angel Hotel, where
he partook of breakfast. Throughout the entire course of his
progress from the outskirts of the town the applause was tu-
multuous, and in front of the hotel an immense crowd soon
congregated, by whom, on his subsequent appearance, lie was
received with similar demon,trations. His Grace wore his
usual looks, and appeared exceedingly well pleased by the
proceedings of the day throughout.
Shortly after ten o'clock his Royal Highness Prince Albert,
who breakfasted at Nuneham with her Majesty, drove into the
town in an open carriage and four, with outriders, es-
corted by Lord Norreys' troop of Oxfordshire Yeomaery
Cavalry. His Royal Highness was accompanied by his Grace
the Archbishop of Canterbury, and a second carriage and
four contained Lord George Lennox, Sir E. Bowater, and Mr.
Anson, of the Prince's suite. At twenty minutes past 10 his
Royal Highness entered into the centre of the knot of build-
ings called" The Schools," where he was received by his Grace
the Duke of Wellington, in his full robes as Chancellor of the
University, and by all the heads of house;, also in their state
costume.
At half-past ten the folding doors were thrown open, and
the distinguished procession, headed by his Royal Highness
Prince Albert, and his Grace the Chancellor of the Univer-
•sity, entered the theatre. The applause which hailed their
appearance no power of language could describe. The entire
theatre was filled—the under circle with elegantly dressed
ladies, the galery with a throng of under-graduates, recalling
Milton's description of Pandemonium by the density with
which they were packed head over head, and not a little too,
perhaps, by the discordant noises to which they gave utter-
ance without intermission. The centre of the hall was allo-
cated to the Masters of Arts, non-resident as well as
resident, and this was also completely filled. Within
the circle set apart for the collegiate dignitaries and the dis-
tinguished visitors his Grace the Chancellor took his seat at
the centre. His Royal Highness Prince Albert occupied a
chair of state at his Grace's left, and behind his Royal High-
ness stood Lord G. Lennox, Gentleman in Waiting, and Mr.
G. E. Anson, Private Secretary to the Prince, both attired in
the Windsor uniform. The Prince, who looked a little pale,
but otherwise exceedingly well, wore the gown of a Doctor
of Civil Law over a black suit, cut in the style of the
Windsor uniform ; his Royal Highness also wore the garter
on his left knee, and the star and ribaud of the Order, which
were also wont by his Grace the Chancellor, and the
several other Knights of the Order (about half a dozen)
who were p-esent. At the Chancellor's left stood the
Vice-Chancellor,• and some paces beneath, at either side,
the senior and junior Proctor. Amongst the distinguished
persons who had seats on the dais, we observed his Grace
the Duke of Marlborough, his Grace the Duke of Sutherland,
the Marquis and Marchioness of Londonderry, Ladies Alexan-
drine and Frances Vane, Lord Adolphus Vane, Ea'l Jersey,
Lady Clementine Villiers, Earl of Eldon' Lord Prudbie, Lady
Ward, the Hon. Miss Ward, Dr. Phillimore, Lady Caroline
Hamilton, Miss Hamilton, Lord Churchill, Lord Ward, Vis-
cOunt Seaham, Marquis of Blandford, Lord H. Loftus, Lord
Edwin Hill, Earl of Liverpool, Lord Cranley, Dean of Here-
ford, Colonel 13ouverie, the Archbishop of York, the Bishops
of London, Chichester, and Winchester, Sir R. H. Inglis, Bart.,
M.P., Mr. Estcourt, M.P., Mr. Maclean' M.P., &c.
The successive rounds of applause which saluted the proces-
sion as it moved towards the platform lasted for at least five
minutes. When the applause had subsided, the undergradu-
ates in the gallery gave cut in succession " the Queen" and
" The Prince" with great applause. To these succeeded
" The Duke," with an equal amount of enthusiasm.
In the course of reading the Act of Convocation, when his
Grace the Chancellor alluded by name to " Augustissimns
I'rinceps Albertus," the mention of his Royal Highness was
hailed by bud and prolonged cheers.
His Grace the Chancellor then, turning towards Prince
Albert, read an Address to him from the University.
The Chancellor then handed this Address, beautifully writ-
ten on vellum, and sealed with the University seal, enclosed in
a case of gold, to his Roy al Highness, who was graciously
pleased to accept it, and briefly returned thanks for the honour
thus conferred upon him, expressing the deep satisfaction
which it afforded him to visit this renowned seat of earning—a
satisfaction which was enhanced by his recollection of the favour
previously conferred upon him by admitting him an honorary
member of their distinguished University.
The Prince's brief Address was received with the loudest
shouts of approbation. " Three cheers for Prince Albert,"
were called for, and the call was responded to by nine rounds
of applause.
The Public Orator then delivered an address in Latin, ap-
propriate to the occasion of his Royal Highness's eisit to the
University, and alluding in extremely felicitous terms to the
distinguished annals of the house of . Saxe Coburg. Ad-
verting to the merits of his Royal Highness's glorious ances-
tor, the Elector Frederic:, ,ptahpecdol Orator
ercostuitpiloendi th.aecne name of
Frederick with that of Luther amidst the loudest applause,
which reached its acme when he described the Prime's re-
nowned progenitor as
hostis "

His Grace the Chancellor then conferred the honorary de-
gree of Doctor in Civil Law upon the following noblemen and
gentlemen : —His Grace the Duke of Marlborough, his Grace
the Duke of Sutherland, the Earl of Liverpool, Earl Camden,
Lord Ashley, Lord Prudhoe, Sir John Johnston, Bart., Sir
Edward Bowater, K C. 8., and Mr. John Loveley, high sheriff
of the county of Oxford.
The announcement of each name was received with applause.
His Grace the Chancellor in each instance pronounced the
words Admitto to ad gralum doctor's in lege eivili honoris
caus,,," and then turning to the commuray, inquired in a loud
tone of voice, " Placet ?" to which the response was in each
case the most deafening cheers. The Public Orator preceded
the announcement of the dignity conferred upon each individual
by a happily worded panegyric. In the cases of the -several
noble aspirants, he dwelt on their high lineage, and on the
great public acts in which they and their ancestors had taken
part. When it came to Sir E. Bowater's turn, he alluded to

which this tribute of just praise was conveyed; and the cheer-

version of the ordinary phrase,:" the Gallant Gentleman" sum-

the epithet " trtissimus vir."

The under-graduates havit.g wound themselves up to a pitch
of great excitement, manifested a disposition to be obstrepe-
rous for a longer period than was consistent with
•"fhe conclave's grave decorum,"
and the illustrious Chancellor repeatedly put up his hand, and
had several times to shake his bead, which- was done, however,
in the most good humoured manner, before he could reduce
the refractory to submission; No doubt his Grace found it
much mote difficult to command his collegiate phalmx than
he ever had found it to regulate the movements of 50,000
troot-s in battle.
Wl,en silence was restored, Professor Kebble pronounced
from the rostrum the Creweian oration in Latin, . •
