OXFORD, JAN. 15.

The following tlecl cration has been made by the resident
members of this University. It obtained the signatures
affixed to it in the course of a few hours, notwithstanding
the Term can hardly be said to have commenced :—" We,
the undersigned members of Convocation, after mature
reflection on the existing circumstances of the University,
and a careful endeavour to ascertain the sentiments of its
members, feel bound to declare that we are in favour of
the immediate nomination of his Grace the Duke of
Wellington for the vacant office of Chanc,l'or." Then
follow the names of the President of Magdalen, Provost
of Worcester, Master of Ballot, Principals of Brasenose
and Sir Edmund Hall, President of Trinity, Provost of
Queen's, President of Sc. John's, Warden of Wadham,
Magdalen Margaret Professor of Divinity, Bodleian
Librarian, Registrar of the University, Vice-President of
St. John's, Senior Fellow of litho!, 27 Fellows, and 29
other members of houses.

Objection has been taken to Sir Robert Peel's election
to the Chancellorship of the University of Oxford, on the
ground that it has been the practice, time out of mind,
to confer that dignified and important pest upon some
Nobleman, distinguished in the political or literary world.
As far us custom is concerned, there are, certainly, good
grounds for the objection ; for the situation has not been
held by a commoner for several centuries, excepting in
one or two instances, the last of which was that of Richard
Cromwell, in the year 1658. There is a precedent rather
more recent for the appointment of a Prelate, in the cae
of Gilbert Sheldon, Archbishop of Canterbury, who was
Chancellor of Oxford from 1667 to 1669 ; since which
petind the post of honour has invariably been filled, by a
layman and Nobleman. The preeeat excel'ent Archbishop
of Canterbury has been mentioned as a fit and proper
person for the Chancellorship, now vacant by the death of
Lord Grenville; and if great learning, with an unim-
peachable character, is any recommendation, no one better
deserves the distinction. The Earl of Eldon, who was
unsuccessful at the last election, in 1809, has declined to
become a candidate on the present occasion ; and it is
said that the Duke of Sutherland has been requested to
offer himself. The election is vested in the Doctors and
Masters of Arts.

YORKSHIRE MARKETS.

(From the Halifax Express.)

1-lAurax:—The demand for stuffs, at this market, last
S Iturday, was equal to that of the two preceding market
days, and prices were generally a shade h;glier.

. - -
HUDDERSFIELD.-The demand for woollens was very
active for the season of the year, at this market, last Tuesday,
and considerable purchases were made from small manu-
facturers, by London agents, fur exportation to America.
BRADFORD..---Long wool of every description was in
brisk demand at this market, last Thursday, and former
prices were fully supported. For goods, too, there was a
fair demand, and upon the whole there was more than an
average quantity of business transacted.
DEWSBURY.—The trade of Dewsbury is very flit, but
considerable less money is now required, as psroehial aid,
than is customary at this season of the year.
LEEDS —ln the Coloured Cloth Hall, on Tuesday last,
there was a fair, r,gular market, and a good deal of busi-
ness done. In the White Cloth Hall, some improvement
was experienced ; goods being more in demand than for
some weeks past.

(Before Mr. Justice GASELEE and a Common Jury.)
PEARCY V. WALTER.
This was an action brought by the plaintiff to re-
cover the value of a horse which was killed by tl:e
furious driving of the defendant.
The plaintiff is a milkman, and the proprietor of
vans for the carriage of goods, &c., and in August
last his vans were engaged to convey sixty or
seventy persons to Epping Forest on a ruralfete,
accompanied, as is usual, with a band of music.
After spending the day they were returning to
town. The van containing the band leading the
van, and its occupants being rather jolly, was going
at the the rate of eight or nine miles an hour, and
had considerably outstripped the more sober part of
the company. On arriving at Woodford they met
the defendant driving a gig, which contained his wife
and two children. As described by the plaintiff's
witnesses, he appeared to be intoxicated, and in-
stead of guiding his horse so as to avoid the p►ain-
tiff's van, he ran directly against it. The conse-
quence was, that one of the shafts of the gig entered
the shoulder of plaintiff's horse and broke. The
defendant's horse at the same time kicking violently
threw the defendant's wife and children into the
road. The horse was subsequently taken to a vete-
rinary surgeon, where he received every attention,
but lie died in a few days. He was a young horse,
and was considered to be worth between 201. and
251. There was, as usual in such cases, much con-
tradictory evidence.
Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 201.

EXCHEQUER CHAMBER, JAN. 17.

(Sittings in Equity before Lord LYNDHURST.)
SMALL V. ATTIV001).

On coming into Court this morning his LORD-
SHIP had considered the defendant's application for
the setting aside of the writ of subpoena issued by
the plaintiff for the payment of Philip Taylor's costs,
ordered to be paid by the decree, on the ground of
irregularity; and his opinion was, that the course
adopted by the plaintiff was not regular, and conse-
quently that the subpoena must be set aside. The
plaintiff was only to have the costs in question from
the defendant on his showing that he (the plaintiff)
had payed them to Philip Taylor; and as there was
no matter upon the record, no certificate whatever to
show they had been so paid, he could not allow
such a summary proceeding as that of attachment in
the face of so palpable a blot in the proceedings.
The subpoena, therefore, must be set aside for irre-
gularity._

Mr: WIGRAM—Your Lordship does not of
course decide against our right to recover these
costs by separate subpoena ?
Lord LYNDHURST—CertainIy not. I only decide
that your course in issuing a subpoena, without
fulfilling the requisite forms was irregular, Your
client still has his remedy by subpoena.
Mr. WAKEFIELD—Of course my client is to have
the costs of his application
Lord LYNDHURST—CertainIy. Irregularity in
proceedings always carries costs with it. His Lord-
ship then went into the cause paper, but no case
likely to excite public interest was entered upon.
