MR. GLADSTONE AT CAMBRIDGE.

THE UNITED MISSION TO CENTRAL AFRICA.
After the congregation which was held yesterday in the
Senate House, at Cambridge, conferring the honorary de-
gree of D.C.L. on Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Walpole, the Bishop
of Oxford, and Sir George Grey, the Governor of Cape
Colony, a meeting was held in the Senate House for the
purpose of promoting the recently-formed Oxford and Cam-
bridge mission to Central Africa, under the auspices of Dr.
Livingstone.
Mr. GLADSTONE, M.P ~ on rising to address the meeting,
was received with loud and long-continued cheering, and
especially among the occupants of the gallery. The right
hon. gentleman said :—I will not detain you by dwelling
upon the wrongs of Africa, because they have been handled
so admirably by the Regius Professor of Divinity rho has
preceded me in his most able speech, and also, let me say,
because there is ono present who has an almost exclusive
title, as he has a paramount capacity, to deal with that
subject. I will only say this one word upon a question
which relates particularly to that unhappy region of the
globe. The fate of Africa has been peculiar in this, that after
haying suffered the extremest bitterness of known woe and
affliction, in almost every form which could be conceived,
at the hands of her Mahomedan conquerors, it has been re-
served for her to undergo yet more cruel wrongs, yet
more piercing sorrows, and yet more extreme degradation
at the hands of those who have called themselves Christians.
But we are here to consider, in connection with a special
purpose which is set before us, and the special machinery by
which that purpose is to be attained. I was glad to hear
that passage in the report where it is distinctly pointed out
that the work of this mission is not to be the exclusive work
of the two universities ; they aro to be the nucleus from
which the efforts are to spring, around which they aro to
centre ; but our hope and confident_ expectation is—such is
the strength of our case, that all Erigli.nd will be anxious and'
ambitious to share in this good undertaking, and that the
universities will have done no more in this than their special
function to-day, which is to point out to our countrymen the
way in which they are to go. (Cheers.) But the resolution
which I have undertaken to second recalls by its language
specially to our minds the union of the two universities ; and
although I am sorry and almost ashamed to introduce one
word of what is personal in connectign with such weighty and
holy matters as those which are before us, yet I may be per
mitted, at least upon this day, to say that it is a particular
pleasure to feel that in the vest which I wear by your favour
the union of the two universities is in some degree signified
and represented. (Loud cheers.) Itwill alwaysremain among
the most delightful and honourable recollections of my life
that the associations of reverence and affection with which '
every Oxford man must regard the University of Cambridge
have been increased on this particular occasion by the honour
—little, indeed, deserved—but not upon that account less
to be valued and remembered. (Cheers.) But the union
of these universities signifies much, indeed, that pertains
alike to the present purpose of the meeting and to the wel-
fare and happiness of England. In that union is contained
rivalry not only compatible with respect and affection, but
it is that kind of rivalry in which respect and affection best
thrive, and from which they draw a stronger and a higher
vitality. They have before them a common work ; they are
the heirs in common of recollections such as scarcely any
institutions in the world can boast; and at this period of
what might be thought their extreme old age, they are,

thank God, developing themselves with new vigour upon
every side, and promising from day to day, and year to year,
to become less unequal to the enormous calls which the
wants of this mighty nation constantly make upon them.
(Cheers.) Never can the universities be united for a bet-
ter, holier, or wiser purpose than that in which they are
engaged, and, permit me to say, never can they be united
for a purpose which is more naturally germane to their work,
if their work be, as we hold it is in the first instance to be,
the bulwark of the Christian faith; for he has narrow
views of the functions of the universities who can consider
that in a single operation, even though it be the greatest of
all connected with the development of the mind of man, the
office of the university can be confined. Their very name
—I do not now enter into the question of its origin—may
serve as an example of the extent of purpose which they
contemplate. And when you are told to undertake mission-
ary work, you know well that you are invited to go forth
alike as the ministers of spiritual and temporal blessings,
and that as our Lord, who brought light and immortality
into the world, spent the greater portion of his time in a
direct mission for the consolation and relief of human woe;
so you, when you carry the Gospel into Africa, are not
only to provide the natives of that country with the pass-
port to immortal life, but you are to give them hope for
themselves, for their children, for their descendants, for all
that is dear to man in this world, as well as the other ;
there will be, with all the blessings which belong to the
other world, everything too that can belong to this.
(Cheers.) Eminently is it fitted for the university to un-
dertake to be in the van of such a work, and well is it that
we should soo that if the growth of civilisation and the im-
mense development of this nation in all ranks, classes, and
pursuits, has rendered it far more difficult in this period of
the world's history than it ever was before for universities
to answer the demands made upon them, yet that at least
there will not be wanting effort or will ; but if it be a ques-
tion of extending their operations to classes hitherto not
within their reach in England, or if it be a question of
carrying the truth beyond the limits of this country and
this empire, the universities have still within them the
desire vigorously to strain every nerve to direct their coun-
trymen in the way that is good and great. (Cheers.) But
there is another reason why we must look upon the union
of the universities as standing in peculiar relation to such
a work as this, for of the modes In which we can contri-
bute to the extension of the Gospel there aro these three spe-
cial ones—contribution of funds, contribution of prayer, and
contribution of personal service: The contribution of funds
is the lowest and meanest by far, and if even that meanest
office cannot be performed aright, greatly will it bo to the
shame of this wealthy country. The contribution of prayers
is a higher contribution ; it is ono which is in the power of
us all, and it is an office which, though it be performed in
silence, and not in the face of a great auditory like this, will
yet never, I trust, be forgotten. But the greatest of all
these contributions is that which involves our own seevice—
that which renders up the highest of all sacrifices upon the
altar of God—the health, the strength, the energy, the time,
the acquirements, honours, everything which has been gra-
tifying to the flesh and to the mind ; and it is by these alone
the work before us can be successfully pursued. And whore
are you to seek the means of furnishing that splendid con-
tribution to the prosecution of this work if it be not in the
two universities of England ? (Cheers.) Where is it, I will
venture to ask, as between these two universities—where is
it that the appeal might be made with more success than
within the precincts of thee university which had the
honour of forming the mind of Selwyn—(cheers)—and
which divides, and ever will divide, the affections of that
illustrious man with his other home at Eton ? It is the privi-
lege, it is in part the reward of such men as . Selwyn, that
even after his personal presence has departed his name still
remains in the place where it has been once known.
(Cheers.) There is a magic in the very mention of that
name, a contagion of nobleness, which waits upon such
examples, and it is in Cambridge, more than upon any
other spot on the face of the globe, that the force of
that contagion should be felt; and it may be that there
are those here, in the flower of their youth, in the fulness
of their happiness, just tasting the first sweetness of
successful exertion and of honourable reward—it may be
that there are those here who, from recollections of ihat
honoured man, may even now be forming resolutions to
brace themselves to the work in which he has shown them
the way. (Cheers.) I had not the honour, sir, of forming
a personal acquaintance with Dr. Livingstone ; but, not-
-withstanding, having become acquainted with his labours,
as he has given them to the world, and having watched his
course and progress in this country, I cannot refrain from
adding my tribute to the universal admiration which his whole
oharacter has drawn from the willing hearts of his fellow-
countrymen. (Cheers.) But Dr. Livingstone, in my opinion,
gives no greater proof of the weight of his intelligence and
the true greatness of his mind, than when ho chose to make
Oxford and Cambridge the great centres of his efforts at
home. (Cheers.) He knew well that there was no mere
fruitful fields ; he knew well that though this great
country has much besides her imiversities, yet that no
small part of her interior life is still nurtured within
their sacred and venerable precincts—lle knew that though
she is everywhere full of energy and power, yet that no
small part of that energy and power was to be found within
those universities, and especially in the minds of the youth
of those universities. He knew well it was his duty to
elevate himself, to carry himself beyond the narrow limits
of the particular organisation with which he was imme-
diately related. Desiring the propagation of the Gospel in
Africa, he asked himself where ho could find most power,
and the most desirable and effective engine for the prosecu-
tion of that work; and his heart, his conscience, and his
intelligence told him that ho could not answer that ques-
tion without including in his answer, and without giving a
prominent place in his answer to the two universities of
England. (Cheers.) Dr. Livingstone is an example
of such mon as raise our ideas of the age in which we live.
That superiority to all worldly-calls and engagements, that
rapid and keen intelligence, that power of governing men,
are the very qualities in great men which commend them-
selves with resistless power to the young by whom we are
in this building crowded. (Cheers.) When I stand here
in this noble structure I cannot stay for a moment to ad-
mire its majestic proportions ; it is not the gold which sanc-
tifies, so it is not the Senate-house of Cambridge, distin-
guished

but he is a hero, corresponding in every particular to

that great formation which the admiration of all ages has
consecrated—he is a hero. (Cheers.) Even our greatest
living poet, the great poet of his age, Tennysen—(loud and
prolonged cheering)—in his latest work, the "Idylls,"
which has taken its place in the deathless literature of the
world, has carried us back to a time of heroic men, of heroic
deeds, and of heroic character ; but if the power which he
possesses could have gone beyond what it has effected in
giving almost living representatives of those characters,
and if ha could actually have evoked them from their tombs,
there is not one among them, not a man whom he has ever
represented in song, who, if he could have been raised
from the dead, brought forth, and walked among us, who
would not have been ready to recognise as a brother the
great traveller, Dr. Livingstone, and to acknowledge him
as among his worthiest companions. (Great cheer-
ing.) I know there is much before you, and I will
be faithful to what I said at the commencement, that I
would confine myself as far I.was able to rendering the tes •
timony, as becomes me, as a member of the sister univer-
sity, to the satisfaction and lively delight which is felt in
that university at the sacred co-operation—for so I may
well call it—the sacred partnership in which, upon this
special occasion, they find themselves with the University
of Cambridge: (Cheers.) I have stated that which is my
deepest conviction, that this is the place, that these are the
places in which to find the Iniman material, not merely the
silver and gold, but the human material by which, under
God, this great work is to be pressed forward. I close what
I have to say by simply and solemnly commending to each
one of you, in his own mind and conscience, to ask himself
whether this special and particular undertaking does not in
itself combine the presentation of every good, of every hope-
ful prospect, and of every solid advantage which can pos-
sibly be required in any civilising and Christian scheme ?
If that be so, let us not shrink, but by earnest endeavours
strive to support in acts that whief we have considered in
words, tisirig our acts as if by virede of theta we could pre;
vail, by remembering at the same time their insufficiency,
and commending the prosecution of the cause to the sole
favour and protection of Almighty God. (The right hon.
gentleman resumed his seat amidst loud and.protracted

cheering.)
The meeting was subsequently addressed by the Bishop
of Oxford, Sir George Grey, Dr. Plumptre of Oxford, the
Bishop of Grahamstown, Mr. Walpole, and others, and re-
solutions were passed for giving effect to the objects for
which the mission had been established.

WRECK OF THE ROYAL CHARTER.

4
LATEST PARTICULARS.,
MOELVRA •BAY, TUESDAY AFTERNOON.
Last night was a very boisterous one. The weather be-
came very cold in the afternoon, and at seven in the even-
ing the wind rose and blew very stiffly. At about two this
morning a shower of very large hailstones fell. There
were several loud peals of thunder, and some very vivid
flashes of lightning. It has rained heavily ail this morn-
ing, and blown a gale. There is a very heavy sea rolling
in Moelvra Bay, and the wind being westerly its inclina-
tion is to carry the wreck more out from the shore. She
has not, however, to all appearances, been much, if any-
thing disturbed. On a day like this, if the weather con-
tinue as it is, the divers can of course do nothing. They
have not as yet succeeded in bringing up anything but
bars of copper-ore, such as I spoke of yesterday . Strange
to say, though only 41 bodies out of nearly 500 have floated
on shore, the divers have only met with one corpse below;
and that was so entangled in cordage that they were un-
able to make out what it was. It has, however, been
driven ashore in the parish of Penrhos-Cligny, that in
which Moelvra iesituated. Talking of parishes, in con-
nection with this sad accident, I. must not omit to observe
that it would be impossible to speak in terms of too great
praise of the conduct of the Rev. Mr. Hughes, the exem-
plary rector of Llanallgo, the parish adjoining that in which
the wreck took place. Mr. Hughes, his amiable lady, and
her sisters, the Misses Moulsdale, have been incessant in
their exertions to comfort the poor shipwrecked passengers
who have escaped from the wreck, and to assuage the
anguish of those who have lost their relatives. The manner
in which their kindness and hospitality have been displayed
is as remarkable for its genuine earnestness as for its
thoroughly homely character. Mr. Hughes's church is
nearer to the wreck than that of Penrhos-Cligny, and
most of the bodies which have been cast ashore have come
within and been buried in Llanallgo, parish. His house
has been an open one for the last six or seven days, and he
and his family have not had a night's rest since the wreck.
Seven bodies lay in Llanallgp church to••day when the coro-
ner for Anglesey, Mr. W. Jones, arrived. Five of them
are men, one that of a woman, and the remaining one that
cf an infant. All are mutilated, the woman and child
frightfully so. Mr. Jones held e pro fornia inquest on
them. There was no one present to identify them. The
coroner made an order for their interment. The body of a
child which was picked up on Thursday last, and hitherto
not identified, has been this day identified by Mr. Russell
as that of a boy named William Barrett, on of a passen-
ger. It is a very singular fact that most of the bodies have
come ashore perfectly naked. It is supposed that their
clothes were torn off by coming in contact with the machi•
nery or other parts of the vessel. The Rev. Mr. Hughes
has in his possession a wedding-ring and guard found on a
lady who was a first-class passenger. A gold ring with
four pearls has been found on the finger of the lady,
whose corpse now lies in the church. This, as well as
a ring found on the finger of a male body, are in pos-
session of the Rev. Mr. Hughes, as are also pieces of linen
marked "Florence Davis," and which the rev. gentle-
man cut from garments on the body of a female. On
the same body was found an article of clothing marked
" It. Hegreaves." This article may serve for purposes of
identification. Tho Rev. Mr. Hughes and the coroner are
receiving a great number of letters from persons making in-
quiry after their relatives and friends. Tho following is a
specimen of some of the communications which come to
these gentlemen from poor mothers :
" Dear Sir,—I beg to state my son has been in Australia
eight years, and, according to his last letter, I might expect
him home about this iime. I feel very unhappy, fearing, as
every mother would feel on an uncertainty, that he might be
cone of those dear sufferers of this dreadful wreck. Perhaps
what makes me more impressed is, that on that fearful
night I dreamed. I don't know where I was, but a man
came in my presence with au arm and part of a mutilated
body. I said, ' That is my Joseph.' Afterwarde I saw him
clear, and asked him to kiss me. Although I kissed him
there seemed no animation, and he had lost all his colour.
I awoke up, my face very much burning. I thought my
dear boy is thinking of me. I then offered up my usual
playor that God would be with him by land or by water.
Then the clock struck three. I should feel truly grateful
if you, sir, would make every inquiry you can among the
survivors. I think amongst the crew you might hear if
there was such a young man on board the ship, "Lamed
Joseph Green, 24 years old, good looking, light hair, and
whiskers and moustache ; tall, but not thin. He might
have with him an old India silk pocket-handkerchief, yel-
low, of small pattern. lie said in his letter he had got it
just the same, and I should see it again some day. Please
God I have a most striking likeness of Him he sent me
last. lam afraid to send it with this letter, fearing it
mightbe lost." Tho poor woman then goes on to give some
particulars of a mark which the lad had on one of his limbs.
She expresses a hope that, please God, he may be one of
the survivors. She says, " I have been looking forward
for my dear boy's return, and I hope the Almighty, in his
goodness, has saved him from this dreadful death." The
letter was only received by Mr. Jones this morning. Up
to this, he has not heard anything about the young man ;
but he has not yet had time to make sufficient inquiries
into this and scores of other cases which have been brought
under his notice by letter from mothers, fathers, husbands,
wives, and children. Mr. Jones has been on the spot daily
since the wreck, and his kindness to the surviving sufferers
is a subject of general and well-deserved comment. This
morning, a round piece of metal, with the words, " Post-
office," and the number " 953," was cast in from the wreck.
This had some connection with mails. The body of Mr.
Russell's daughter has just been interred in sight of her
bereaved father. No diving attempts will be made this
afternoon. A. large lifting machine has been sent for to
Liverpool.
