WRECKS ON THE CORNISH COAST.

It is said that nowhere round the English coast
heavier seas roll and lash themselves on the rocks
with such fury as off that portion of it intervening
between Hartland Point and the little town of Bude,
in Cornwall. A long record of the wrecks in Bude
Bay, and a narrative of the noble deeds performed
in saving, or in attempting to save life, while vessels
were foundeling upon Bade Bar, have been con-
tributed to the 'Ames by a writer, who
thinks thereby that increased interest may be
excited in the work of establishing lifeboats
round the coast, and especially at places in the ex-
treme south of England. The writer in his Chronicle
notably refers to the services of the noble lifeboat I
presented to Buds in memory of the late Mrs.
Elizabeth Moore Garden by her children, but he
states with pride that the English Lifeboat Associa-

GALLANT LIFEBOAT SERVlCE.—Newbiggin-by-
the-Sea, Norfolk, Sept. 12.—A fishing-coble was observed
in distress abovt two miles from this place a few days
since. The lifeboat William Hopkinson, of Brighouse,
which belongs to the National Lifeboat Institution, was
promptly launched, and after a desperate pull, and amidst
onsiderable difficulty, succeeded in taking the three men
out of the coble.

GERMANY AND MEXICO.

During Mr. Seward's journey in Mexico an entertainment
was given by the North American Ambassador, at which
Mr. Romero, the Minister; proposed the prosperity of the
North German Confederation, and the health of its Pro-
tector, King William, and. its wise statesman, Count
Biunarck. He said that while in otßee Mr. Seward had
done evprythino to restore the diplomatic relations of
Mexico, and that he had succeeded in doing so with
Germany, one of the most intelligent and powerful
nations of Europe. There were some points of resem-
blance between the United States and the North German
Confederation. The struggle for unity had welded a
number of powerless German States into a single mighty
Power. The United States, too, had heroically battled
fur unity. In the eyes of the world there were two great
nations on which the hopes of the oppressed were fixed,
they were the United States in the New World and the
North German Confederation in the Old.
PROFESSOR TYNDALL'S GERM THEORY.

The Lancet, this week, commenting upon Professor
Tyndall's germ theory of disease —the theory,
namely, that the air is carrying about with it atoms
of contagion—utters a note of caution. The doctor's
conclusions may, of course, be true ; but the Lancet
does not think he has proved them. He has only
demonstrated the existence of dirt in the
atmosphere; he has not shewn conclusively what
that dirt is. Were there no dirt, yet there
might be germs ; the one has no relation to the
other. The professor's recipe of a cotton wool respi-
rator, therefore, must not be implicitly relied upon. It
may be of use, and can do no harm, but will probably
be only a nine days' wonder, to be replaced by and by
with something stranger still. Such is the conclusion
of the Lancet.

EDUCATION OF ROMAN CATHOLIC CHILDREN,

Tho guardians of St. Olave's, London, have been
waited upon by a deputation of Roman Catholics,
in reference to the education of Roman Catholic
pauper children at Sutton Schools. Mr. Rear-
don, in explaining tho views of the depu-
tation said that their requests were four-
fold: the exemption of Catholic inmates from
receiving any religious instruction but their own ;
the attendance at divine service of all Catholic
inmates over 7 years of age; the setting aside a
room at a convenient hour during the week day visit
of the priest; and that the Sutton School Catholic
inmates should be removed to Catholic schools certi-
fied by the Poor-law Board. It was decided to write
to the Poor-law Board to know whether they would
sanction the prayer of the memorialists, if the Guar-
dians did the same.

DECAY OF TIIE 110 USES OF PAILLIAMENT.

A not very easy duty which awaits the high artis-
tic powers of Mr. Ayrton will be to stop the decay of
the New Palace at Westminster. It is a most un-
pleasant truth that the ornamental stonework of that
architectural display is wearing away with dismal
rapidity. In the recent gales, pieces of heavy carving
weighing many pounds became detached and
shivered into little pieces in the courtyards. Not
long ago, says the Times, a heavy finial came crash-
ing through the roof of an officer of the House,
who certainly would not reckon this as
part of either the practice or the privi-
leges of Parliament. At another time a police-
man was almost brained; and accurate observers of
tho stone-shower say that the roof, if examined,
would be found strewn with such fragments, if this
sort of thing continues, the honour of a seat in Par-
liament will perhaps come to be less esteemed than it
is at present.

EDUCATION' AND THE RELIGIOUS DIFFICULTY.

Sir John went on to talk of education and the religious
difficulty. He was glad that people had awakened to the
importance of the whole question. "As for the difficulty
the proceeded), far from being an advocate in itself of
non-religious education, it appears to me that apart from
all religious and moral grounds, it is upon purely intel-
lectual grounds a mistake to educate without religion, be-

cause the relations of man to God and to Ms creatures are
equally matters of knowledge, and come within the
circle of any education that can be called complete.
Nevertheless, if we cannot get all we want, if wo can get
only something that is not in itself wrong, we will get that
something and be content with it, and try to get the rest
as time goes on. If the Ministry are in earnest, as I
believe they are, in meeting this great national want, the
Liberal party will not be so unwise as to split upon into
sections because the particular measure that ministers
may bring in may not in all respects meet with every
requirement." The Solicitor-General referred to univer-
sity reform, on which subject a sweeping measure would,
he hoped, be passed. The Government would also have to
deal with the Ballot and the law as to the rights of
women. " The law relating to women in this country (he
said) is absolutely barbaric; there is nothing like it in any
other civilised country. Although Sir Roundeil Palmer
makes a good speech in favour of the existing law I don't
think he will be able to carry the Liberal pally with him;
and I believe that there will be a large arill substantial
measure passed in this or the succeeding" Parliament.
Whether that will lead to their enfranchisement as 2arlia-
men tary voters I am not prepared to say."

MEDICAL TESTIMONY CONCERNING BEER.

The other day a Liverpool vestryman called attention
to the adulteration of beer, especially denouncing the
brewers as helping to swell the insanity of the coun-
try. Good beer, he said, could do no harm. Probably
it would not ; for it would not be drunk. The
Lancet, which has been investigating the subject,
states, on the authority of a brewer, the owner of
several public-houses, that any good and wholesome
beer sent to the publicans would be at once returned
upon the brewer's hands. The consumers like to feel
muddled by what they drink, and to procure this lummy
at a small outlay.. Labourers refuse to go to this or
that house, saying that they had a pint there
last week, and felt nothing of it;" whereas they had
a pint at such another one, and could scarcely get
home. This view is not a new one ; but it de-
serves repetition at a time when the regeneration of
the working classes is to be brought about by some
politicians by the prohibition of adulteration,

IIarSCOVITE BORROWING.

The Russians are great favourites in the English
money market. Their new little loan of twelve
millions sterling has been subscribed for, it is calcu-
lated, to the extent of three times the total re-
quired. The five per cent. deposit on this sum of
thirty-six millions is £l,Boo,ooo—an enormous
amount to be withdrawn from circulation just now.
Many subscribers, knowing that they will be allotted
only a percentage of their claim, make a very large
elajpa, in order to receive a Proportionate allowance. -

of Massachusetts, according to the recent message of Go-
vernor Claflin, hold deposits amounting to $112,200,000, an
increase of $17,500,000 over the deposits of 1868. The se-
serve funds of the institutions amount in the aggregate to
S-2,500,000.—Noticing the purchase of a pew in Plymouth
Church by James Fisk, jun., the Boston Transcript
says, "This proceeding has led to the gossip that
he purchased in order to ring Mr. Beecher into
some sort of an injunction, with a receiver, &c.,
whereby Fisk may become manager of the Church."—
One of the new Mayors in Massachusetts, in his inaugural
speech the other day, said:—" As tho Eastern horizon
of the present is math) glorious with its beaming
rays of opportunity, so may the sunset hour of the
future, by the refractive influences of faithful duty,
greet us with its gorgeous panoply of prismatic light."—
The pews of Beecher's church rent for $58,113 this year.
Henry C. Bowen, of the Independent, whom Mr. Beecher
will not speak to, paid the second largest premium, $390,
for his. The Boston Times calls Mrs. Stowe's new Byron
story "The old ono hammered out thin."—They have a

TIIE LAND BILL.

In concluding, Sir John spoke shortly on the Land Bill.
It is very difficult for me to speak on this subject, except
in very general terms, but I may say, without any danger
of misleading, that there is no chance that a bill brought
forward by a Government which contains in it some
of the largest English and Irish landlords and their sons
will be any very rude shock to what have been rather too
frequently called the rights of property. When people
talk about the rights cf property they veryof ten mean
the rights of the landlords. It has been common to say
that tenant right is landlord wrong, forgetting that land-
lord right may possibly be tenant wrong ; that if the land-
lord is the proprietor of the land, so is the'tenant the
proprietor of what he puts into it; and that there
is except, by artificial rules —no more violation
of principle, of common sense, or of justice, in giving a
tenant security than in giving a landlord security.
There ought to be nothing, therefore, which should in any
way affect the strictest rights of property in this country
in securing to the Irish tenant that which he has a right
to, a feeling cf security in his holding. If I were to adopt
the language of any other man, it would be that of the
Earl of Devon, at a dinner at Newton, in Noventer last.
Ire is a.man of the highest character, a very large Irish
proprietor, and I believe rejoices in a perfectly contented
tniantry ; and he said that the tenantry in Ireland ought
to have security for what improvements they might make,
and that he would gave a measure which would effeat that
ohject, whatever name it might be called, his undeviating
and hearty support. What the Earl of Devon said at
Newton I know he will carry: cut in the House of Louis.

A COMPARISON.

- -
A correspondent writes to the Times anent the
racent occurrences at the collieries of Creuzot and
Thorncliffe. His object is to prove that "they
manage these things better in France:' He says
these events may be considered a drama in three acts.
The first act is the strike accompanied by rattening
in all its vilanous shapes at Thorncliffe ; by oratory
and vain threats at Creuzot. In the second act
50 men axe brought from Sheffield to quell the dis-
turbance. At Creuzot the telegraph was put in
motion, and 3,500 men arrived from Paris
in time to protect the lives and properties
of the non-Unionists. The third act shows
the 3,500 men repacking their knapsacks at Creuzot.
Who, asks the writer, will say that Act 3rd at
Thorncliffe, will have an equally prompt or satisfac-
tory end ? Having thus sought to prove his case, he
demands free trade in labour as the only cure for the
social diseases under which the body corporate of
society is now, he says, sufferiiig in Great Britain.
He does not, however, tell us in what respect labour
in France is more free than in England.

THE ADULTERATION OF TEA.

Two cases of adulteration, involving a novel point,
have been brought before the Bow-street magistrate
by the officers of Eicise. In October last some assis-
tant chemists of Somersetilouse, proceeded with Excise
officers to the shop of Mr. Heggate, in East London, and:
seized a quantity of tea, which they subjected to Iv
close analysis. Ono sample was sold at Bd. per
pound, another at is., and a third at' ls. 4d.; and
they respectively contained 40, 30, and 25 per
cent. of other ingredients, such as dirt,
sand, straw, iron, &c. The evidence shewed
that a system has long existed of selling to
the public, at very low prices, the sweepings of
various tea warehouses. The article is known by:
the name of " tea dust ;" and the buyers are quite)
aware of what it consists. The defence'
was in this, and a similar case, that by adulteration
the statute meant the mixing of such sub-.
stances asleaves of other plants to imitate tea: In
the present instance no fraud was ~,committedP
but a certain article, the nature of ' which was'
known to the public, was sold at very
low prices. at which really good tea could 'not be'
obtained. Sir Thomas Henry said the question was,
did the defendants, as dealers in tea, sell the article
as tea, or as tea and wood ? They had, he considered,
acted partly in ignorance, but it was important that
it should be known that the fact of being in posses-
sion of tea adulterated in any form whatever was
sufficient to bring the law down upon them. They
were each fined £lO.

FRAUDS ON UNDERWILITERS.

-:------ -
At a meeting of the Maritime Insurance Company,
Mr. Marshall, of Preston, was very severe on under-
writing frauds. A. great number of premiums are
offered which are totally incompatible with the,
obligations incurred. They uniformly end in loss to •
the underwriter through positive design on the part
of the insuring persons. " There were men:
in the community who looked upon an under-'
writer as a jolly fat morsel, out of which he'
was eager to get his slice ; men who made the plun-
der of underwriters a profession, who made scuttling
a science, and who had no notion of earning a living
honestly." Such rogues, says Mr. Marshall, aro no
more fit to associate with honest people than lepers
with those who are clean. This is true; but how
are these persons to be discovered ? Mr. Marshall
speaks of thrusting them out of the business com-
munity ; the difficulty is to find them. If scuttling
be a science, it is also a crime for which heavy pun-
ishment is provided. It would appear,
the practice is carried on safely, for Mr. Marsht!,ll
says it is very prevalent, andoit is ceraveratain
that not one case of scuttling is tried, n an ge?
in twelve months. however, that

TUE AustitiAN CALINET.

Herr von Kaiserfeld has, it is said, refused the Presi-
dency of the CiEleithan Ministry, and the appohltment of
Herr Hasner to the office is now thought likely. The
discussion of the address proceeds actively at Vienna. Herr
Giskra, the Minister of the Interior, delivered on the 26th a
moderate speech, in which ho said that the position of
the Cabinet imposed reserve on the Ministers. The
pretensions put forward in the Czech manifesto
were visionary and impracticable, but conces-
sions in harmony with the spiLit of the Con-
stitution might be made. The members of the
existing Cabinet had always, he said, sought the inte-
rest of the whole country, and not of a party, and had
done all they could to advance the principle of nati,nal
autonomy. Count Beust said that after the conciliatory
speech of Herr Ciskra, he would give his full sup-
port to the address of the majority. He
was followed by Herr Rechbaur, whose speech
produced a great effect. He declared himself
to be favourable to a policy of compromise more
liberal than the Ministry. He hoped to arrive
by means of mutual concessions at a complete under-
standing between the Crown and the nationalities which
obeyed it.

PROTECTION IN • AMERICA.

The tariff question in the United States is far frcm
being settled. The Ways and Means Committee *f the
House of Representatives are working at the tariff of
import duties, on the old Protectionist principle,
bat they do not seem very anxious to report
the Bill. Mr William Arnaud, President
of the Executive Council of Nova Scotia had
been lately before the committee arguing in favour of the
reduction of the duty on imported bituminous coal,
which naturally interferes very much the
Nova Scotian trade. Unless there is a great
improvement in the temper of Congress ob. this subject,
Mr. Arnaud has not much chance at present, for the Pro-
tectionists are more vehement than ever, being greatly
incensed by Commissioner Wells's report. Mr. Kelley,
the Republican member for Philadelphia, has been put
f rward to reply to the Revenue Commissioner, and has
made a speech which lasted three hours and has beer.
since published and distributed by the Protectionists.
Mr. Kelley contends that the country is in a highly prospe-
rous condition, i ts only drawback being caused by insuffici, nt
protection. Mr. Wells, in the opinion of his adversary, is a
traitor, whose opinions have been bought in the interests
of Great Britain and her American colonies. The United
States would be flooded with the productions of the under-
paid labourers of Europe if Mr. Wells's tariff were
adopted ; the looms and factories would be silenced, and
the cora. for which, according to Mr. Kelley, there is now
no market in Europe would rot in the field. Why the
corn is to rot in the field because the tariff on foreign
manufactures is reduced, is not immediately apparent.
Aowever, the Protectionists appear to find Mr. Kelly's
logic conclusive.

WHALING.

T:io.American whale fishery is on the decline. Accounts
horn Massachusetts skew that great depression exists at
the ports engaged in this trade. The business of 18G9
resulted in a loss of $200,000. Most gloomy accounts arc
issued by Newburyport, Boston, and other ports engaged
in the Atlantic fishery. The New Bedford
papers say that indiarubber, kerosene, gas, and
lard have robbed the whales of their importance.
Within a few years the value of whalebone has depre-
ciated 250 per cent. The business is, however, still suffi-
olentlf remunerative to keep a few whalers afloat. It is
estimated that the Arctic ground will afford profitable
fishing for ten years longer, when the trade will most
likely be abandoned.

THE MORDAUNT DIVORCE SCANDAL.

Whatever doubt existed as to the trial of " Mordaunt v.
Mordaunt" taking place, must now vanish, as the day for
its hearing was fixed in Chambers on Friday morn-
ing. What with the case of " Kelly v. Kelly," and
"Smith v. Adkins," the latter of which was argued for
nearly four days, theundefended divorce causes will stand
a very poor chance of being got through. " Mordaunt v.
Mordaunt," which is to come before a special jury, is fixed
definitely for the 12th of February, on which day a jury
will be empanelled to try whether the respondent is or
is not sane. Serjeant Ballantine and Mr. F. A. Inderwick
are retained for Sir Charles Mordaunt, and Mr. Deane, Q.C..
and Mr. R. A. Searle are the counsel for Sir Robert Mon-
crieff? Lady Mordaunt's father, who, on the plea of insanity,
is mtide a party to the suit. If that plea is successfully
established, of course the trial on the issue of adultery will
not take place and most likely Sir Charles Mordaunt will
have the custody of his wife. If the main issue is not
tried there will, of course, be great disappointment felt by
some of the public, but it will, doubtless, be a great relief
not only to the co-respondents, but to others implicated in
suits.

THE METRIC SYSTEM.

Professor Leoni Levi has made certain inquiries of
the Standards Department of the Board of Trade in
reference to the metric system of weights and mea-
sures. Mr. Chisholm, the warden of the standards,
has replied to the following effect. That any
person using metric weights and measures for the
purpose of buying and selling in shops and other
places subject to the visit of inspectors of weights
and measures, or having them in his possession, is
liable to have them seized, and to conviction and
forfeiture. That a manufacturer or arti-
san, chemist or scientific person, being in
possession of such weights, not for the purpose of
weighing or measuring goods for sale or purchase,
conveyance or carriage, is not liable to a
penalty. Mr. Chisholm further informs Pro-
fessor Levi that steps have been taken to
procure verified copies of the French standards
of the metric system for the use of the standard
department. He adds that the public will have
due notice when the metric weights and weasureq
can be verified there.

EDUCATION IN NEW YORK.

Governor Hoffman, in his annual message, has given
some account of the progress of education in New York
State. He says that there arc in the State nearly
ono million and a half of children of school
age, about a million of whom attended the public
schools during some portion of the year, while 126,000
were attending private schools. The total number of
public school-houses is 11,693. The governor thinks that
these facts show the great proportions to which the com-
mon school system has grown. - There may be ddccts in
it, but taken A's a whole, it commands and receives the
hearty commendation and cordial support of the great
body of the people.

110 W TO PREVENT PAUPERISM.

- - - -
A. correspondent writes to the Times on the pre-
vention of pauperism. He compi.l... managers
of model lodging-houses do not take sufficient
care to ascertain the characters of their tenants.
Two weeks in arrear, he contends, ought to be a
sufficient reason to get rid of a tenant. This, he
admits, might seem hard, but it would materially
tend to promote habits of thrift and saving
against a rainy day. In the next place, he
advocates the Administration of the Poor Law
with a view to improve the condition of the people ;
not on the narrowest ponnywise system. Extension
of area, he contends, is not the panacea for districts
already too unmanageable by their bulk. He is in
favour of paid guardians. Finally, ho believes that
if the policy of the new organisers of charity be to
promote independence pauperism may become
reduced to a minimum if it cannot be extinguished.

MR. P. A. TAYLOR AND HIS CONSTITUENTS.

Mr. P. A. Taylor, one of the Liberal members for
Leicester, has addressed his constituents on the lead-
ing topics of the day. His colleague, Mr. J. D.
Harris, was unable to attend through ill-
ness. Mr. Taylor, in speaking of the House
of Lords, said, in his opinion, the consistency and
common sense of the country were degraded by the
existence, in its present form, of the House of Peers.
We professed to be, and in some respects were, the
freest people in the world ; yet there was not another
country that had a second chamber of a purely
hereditary character. With regard to free trade Mr.
Taylor thought the question must soon be decided
whether England should progress or decay. They saw
at the present time the most enormous aggrega-
tion of wealth that perhaps the word had
ever seen coupled with the most deplorable
degradation. It appeared to him that the time
was come when some mighty effort must be made to
prevent our course being a retrograde one. The peo-
ple, he said, could no longer be coerced ; they must
be educated. In reference to the subject of eau( a•
tion, Mr. Taylor expressed his' opinion that the Bir-
mingham League, of which he was a member, had made
a mistake in introducing the conscience clause
and then permitting the reading of the Bible. He
considered that a system supported by the national
funds should only possess those elements on which
they could all agree. With regard to the Irish Land
Bill, he thought that so surely as the Irish Church
Bill was premonitory of an English Church Bill, so
surely would. the Irish Land Bill be initiatory to au
English Land Bill.

ADMIRALTY RETRENCHMENT.
Mr. E. J. Reed, the Chief Constructor of the
Navy, is scarcely at liberty to speak his mind on Min-
isterial proceedings; but, judging from a speech ho
has just made at Sheerness, it may be concluded that
he is decidedly dissatisfied with the present Adnai-__

THE CAMBRIDGE WRANGLERS.

The Cambridge list of honours was issucl yesterday.
The senior Wrangler is Mr. Richard Pendlebury (St.
John's) the son of Mr. James Pendlebury, of Fairfield.
Liverpool. He was educated at the College, Liver-
pool, under Dr. Howson, the present Dean of
Chester, and the Rev. C. W. Underwood, now
Vioar of Histon, near Cambridge. He obtained the first
(most valuable) mathematical minor scholarship at the
election of minor scholars and open exhibitioners at St.
John's College, in April, 1866, and became a Foundation
Scholar in June, 1868. At the University of London he
obtained the first B.A. Mathematical Exhibition, in August,
1367, and the second B.A. Mathematical Scholarship in
October, 1869. Dr. Parkinson was his college tutor at St.
John's, and Mr. Routh his private tutor.
The second name on the list is Mr. George Alfred
Greenhill (St. John's). He is the son of Mr. Thomas
Greenhill, civil engineer, of Addison-road, Kensington
He was educated at Christ's Hospital, where Mr. Webster
and Mr. Potter were his mathematical masters He became
a Grecian in 1364. He obtained a Somerset Exhibition
at the election of minor scholars and open exhibitioners
at St. John's College in April 1866, and become
a Foundatian Scholar in June, 1868. He obtained the
first B.A. Mathematical Exhibition at the University of
London, in August 1868. At the first election to the
Whitworth scholarships for mechanical science in Sep-
tember, 1869, Mr. Greenhill was a successful candidate,
being second in the theoretical examination, and fifth in
the final list. Dr. Parkinson was his college tutor, and Mr.
W. 11. Besant (St. John's), Senior Wrangler in 1850, his
private tutor.

The third wrangler is Mr. Edward Lawrence Levett (St.
John's), the son of Mr. Benjamin Levett, of Hull. He was
educated at the Pocklington Grammar School under the
Rev. J. C. Gruggen, and subsequently at Cheltenham Col-
lege; and for some time before coming to the university he
had the assistance of his brother, Mr. R. Levett, late scholar of
St. John's College, who was 11th Wrangler in 1865, and
now of King Edward's School, Birmingham. Mr. E. L.
Levett obtained a Somerset Enhibition at the election of
minor scholars and open exhibitioners at St. John's in
April, 1866, and a Foundation Scholarship in June 1368.
Dr. Parkinson was his college tutor, and Mr. Marshall and
Mr. Routh liken in succession his private tutors.
The fourth on the list is Mr. Willir.na D. Stephen
(Corpus); Mr. Hunter (Jesus). The fifth, Mr. Haslam (St.
John's), and Mr. George Henderson (Pembroke). Thus St.
John's College has produced the first three and one of the
fifth of Wranglers.

THE BEAR'S SKIN.

An odd debate has taken place in the North Ger-
man Parliament. A petition was presented from
Bremen, praying to have Saigon, in Cochin China,
claimed as one of the conditions of peace. This gave
rise to a short discussion. Some of the deputies
argued that Germany had no need of a naval station
in the East, and that Saigon, moreover, had a
very deadly climate. One of them asked
what such a project had to do with a war under-
taken for the protection of the national frontier.
On the other side it was argued that • some protec-
tion for German commerce in that quarter was
needed. At length, however, a 'cute member sug-
gested that bargaining about the bear's skin had
better be postponed until the bear was taken. The
majority appreciated this hint, and passed on to the
order of the day. So remarkable is the notion of
some Germans respecting their "Fatherland" that
they even imagine it extends to Cochin China.
KEBLE COLLEGE, OXFORD.

The English practice of adding college after col-
lege to the two universities, without systematically
arranging that each new building is, from the first,
nothing but a part of the mother foundation, is not
without its blemishes. The new college at Oxford,
dedicated to the memory of the celebrated
poet, and designed to afford to students
with small means an education in those
principles of sober piety which Keble loved to iden-
tify with the Church of England, is an instance of
the fact. The college was only inaugurated some
few weeks since. It obtained a Royal charter, and a
decree of the University admitting its students
to matriculation. Yet suddenly we learn that
its members are not " under all circum-
stances" possessed of equal privileges with those
of any other college at Oxford. An undergraduate
of one of the old foundations left the latter and
joined Keble college, but on presenting himself at
the schools he was informed that the decree of the
University "pending certain questions which might
arise," conferred no rights on the new
building "beyond that of bare matriculation.
It certainly could' neither confer on such
students a claim to examination, nor sanction the
migration to the new society 01 students from exist-
ing colleges. It is said that the party in favour of
the new college is strong enough at Oxford to obtain
its perfect incorporation with the university ; still,
the disposition to secure at once every privilege for
the Keble students is a lagging one, and while it is
so, the undergraduates who have placed their names
on the books are practically debarred from the
advantages of an unquestionable university education,
to supply which Keble College was instituted.
