OXFORD, JULY 29.

The Mayor and Magistrates of this City entertained the
Lord Mayor, several of the Aldermen, the Chamberlain,
Town Clerk, Solicitor, Chaplain, and other Officers of the
City of London, in his Lordship's suite, in our Council
Chamber on Tuesday last. It is usual for the Lord Mayor
once in fourteen years to hold Courts on the river Thames,
according to ancient custom, and upon this occasion the
visit was paid to Oxford. The state barge brought several
of the party from London to the River Isis, as far as Folly
Bridge, but the Lord Mayor having passed along the
Thames- a considerable distance, returned to town, and
came direct from thence to Oxford in his carriage. The
dinner at the Council Chamber was unusually grand and
costly ; indeed, nothing of the kind can bear a comparison
with it, unless it was that which was given to the Prince
Regent and the Foreign Princes, who visited Oxford in
the year 1814. It reflects, the greatest credit on the pro-
jectors of the invitation, and they are entitled to the
highest praise for the spirit, taste, and. hospitality thus
shown to the Lord Mayor and Magistracy-of the City of
London. The Members for the City, with the Lord
Mayor's brother, C. Venables, Esq. were the only stran-
gers present.

11 On the' following day the Mayor, 'Magistrates, City
Members, Bailiffs, Town Clerk, and City Solicitor, by
invitation, dined with the Lord Mayor at the Star Inn,
where an entertainment was given, which seemed to vie
for richness and splendour the one given in the Council
Clamber. The Lady Mayoress, the Ladies of Aldermen
Atkins, Heygate, Lueas, and Magnay, with their daugh-
ters, graced the table with their presence. The Vtee4
Chancellor, President of C. C. C. Master of Pembroke
call—Warden of New coll. Principals of Magdalen and St.
Mary halls, the two Proctors, and several other Members
of the University, honoured the' Lord Mayor with
their. company. The Lord Mayor, Lady Mayoress, and
party, left Oxford on Thursday morning in the State
Barge for London, highly, pleased with their visit.
Wednesday last the Rev. John Alington, M.A. and the
Rev. .1. Linton, M.A. were admitted Actual Fellows of
Magdalen college; and at the same time James R. Pears,
B.A. Demy of Magdalen; and 'John Gervas Hutchinson
