SPII(IT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.

FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF SATURDAY.
GLOBE.—The Vice-Chancellors of Oxford and
Cambridge are taken from the Heads of Colleges in
certain orders of rotation established by common
consent and for convenience. If a new Vice-Chan-
cellor is to be appointed every year, as in Cambridge,
or every fourth year, as is the practice at Oxford,
the advantages of such a system and rotation are
obviously great. The rule, of course, is not ab-
solutely binding, and occasions may arise where
it ought to be departed from. An academical
Alderman Wood or Gibbs would be passed over
without at all impairing the force of the rule. But
there is an end of the rule altogether if politics or
doctrinal controversies are made grounds for depart-
ing from it. Some years since, Dr. Lamb, the
learned and excellent Master of Corpus Christi Col-
lege, Cambridge, was passed over, when it came to
be his turn to be nominated for the Vice-Chancellor•
ship, for no other reason than that he was a
zealous Liberal politician. The late Government
marked their sense of Dr. Lamb's merit, and of
the injustice with which the bigot Heads at Cam-
bridge had treated him, by appointing him to the
Deanery of Bristol. Will Sir Robert Peel have the
courage to give any similar slap in the face to the
rampant Oxford faction which is opposing Dr. Symons
because he is an Evangelical (see the Times articles
passim), and will, therefore, probably keep Puseyism
at bay, as Dr. Wynter has done ? Great pains are
taken by the Puseyite agitators to convince the
world that they are not opposing Dr. Symons
because he is no Puseyite. But the difference between
opposing him because he is no Puseyite, and opposing
him because, being no Puseyite, he will pro-
bably do things, as Vice-Chancellor, distasteful to
Puseyites, is a difference which none but a Puseyite
can be expected to appreciate. Dr. Wynter was
an " Evangelical ;" and Dr. Wynter summoned
the Board of Heresy to judge Dr. Pusey's ser-
mon, and vetoed Mr. M'Mullen's Divinity de-
gree. Dr. Symons is another " Evangelical,"
and will probably do similar things •in similar
circumstances. This is the logic of innu-
merable correspondents of the Times, honoured
always with large type. Has Dr. Wynter done any-
thing unconstitutional ? The aforementioned large-
type gentlemen say that he has. But it does not follow
that another " Evangelical" Vice-Chancellor will be
led by similar views of religion into similar violations
of academical law. Similar religious views will of
course lead him to similar opinions on Dr. Pusey's
sermon and Mr. M‘Mullen's thesis. But then, it is
not on account of his religious opinions simply that
the Pusey faction are moving heaven and earth to de-
feat the nomination of Dr. Symons on Tuesday next.
Oh no ! It is all very well now to disclaim re-

ligious considerations, and rest the opposition to Dr.
Symons on the unconstitutional acts of his brother
Evangelical predecessor. But did any constitu-
tional questions enter into the contest for the
Poetry chair ? Those who made Puseyism the test
for a Professor of Poetry, would not have the
sense to prevent them from making it the test for a
Vice-Chancellor. But they have, it appears, the
cunning to endeavour to conceal their mischievous
motives. What we principally care for in this
and all the other Puseyite demonstrations at Ox-
ford, is the evidence furnished of the theolo-
gical unity and peace which the
,University secures
by the compulsory subscription to the Thirty-nine
Articles, and the additional notoriety given by each
of these outbreaks to the fact of the existence of a large
and powerful body of Dissenting Conformists in a Uni-
versity which will not abate one jot of the Thirty-
nine Articles, to 'allow honest Non-Conformists a par-
ticipation in its advantages. Mr. Newman and Mr.
Ward enjoy fellowships; but those whom Mr. New-
man's and Mr. Ward's writings send unto the Church
of Rome, have the door of the University closed upon
them. We read, only in last week's Oxford Chronicle,
of a beneficed clergyman who, having
,been convinced

STANDARD.—One of our morning Contem-
• poraries (many of our agricultural readers will be
able to guess which) commences a long leading
article this day with the following paragraph :
" Among the numberless proofs which every day
supplies of the utter prostration of the agricultural
interest may be noticed certain proceedings which
distinguished the recent meeting of the Vale of
Evesham Agricultural Society." Now, so much
do the judgments of men vary upon the same
representations of the very same facts, that we
draw from the proceedings at the Evesham
meeting an inference precisely the opposite of
that which would describe the agricultural in-
terest as in a state of " prostration." On the
other hand, we see in these proceedings, to our sense,
the clearest proof tlsat the agriculturists are now, al-
most for the first time in our own history, or in the
history of any other country, entering upon the
course by which they will do justice to themselves.
In saying that this course is an untried one, we of
course, admit that it is subject to serious difficulties
at first, and opposed by many prejudices ; neverthe-
less, we are confident that in the judgment of reason-
able persons the principle will carry us to our conclu-
sion. When the Economists and Leaguers have been
clamouring to deprive the agriculturists of that.
fair protection which is allowed by law to every
other pursuit of industry, our answer has always
been that agriculture is a trade and a manufacture,
as much as the fabrication of cotton, woollen
cloth, earthenware, or hardware ' • a trade and
manufacture, however, subject to heavier burdens
and more violent vicissitudes than any other, and
therefore requiring, to maintain its existence,
a higher degree of protection than any other
trade or manufacture. We have never found
the Economist or Leaguer who could answer this
plain proposition, and therefore we hold it to be
unanswerable. Now, if it be true, that agri-
culture is a trade and manufacture in one
sense, it is true in all senses—as true when we
demand commercial intelligence, enterprise, and
activity from the agriculturists, as when we claim
protection on their behalf. It is a remarkable fact,
however, that while great fortunes have been realised
in other branches of industry, and powerful and dis-
tinguished families founded by successful traders in
silk, cotton, earthenware, wood, iron, &c., the
example of such successes on the part of agricultu-
rists are extremely rare, if any such examples are to
be found. The seeming reasons for this are suffi-
ciently numerous and sufficiently obvious to satisfy
surperficial inquirers, but they will not bear a
close examination, because they all rest on two
fallacies ; first, the notion that the produce of the
soil is not capable of an infinite augmentation ;
secondly, the opinion that the demand for agricul-
tural produce is, in like manner, limited. Resting
upon these two fallacies, landlords have despaired of
considerably augmenting their family estates by any
outlay of capital, and have, therefore, neglected to
save money for the purpose, while farmers
have been but too happy to hold their own,
and labour from morning till night for a
bare subsistence—both have cast anchor in
the existing state of things. But ships at anchor
bring home no cargoes ; and agriculture has, in
consequence, been left far behind in the race to
wealth. What would have been the fate of other
branches of industry if they, too, had, fifty or
sixty years ago, dropped anchor in the status quo Y
What would be now the dimensions of Manchester,
Birmingham, and Leeds, if the manufacturers of
1780 had said—We cannot employ more labour, for
we have no more to employ ; we cannot hope to
extend our markets, for we already find it sufficiently
difficult to dispose of our goods ? The manufacturers
reasoned differently ; they saw that the demand for
labour would produce labour—that the abundant supply
of markets would augment and multiplymarkets, and
they have thriven accordingly. Why, then, did not
the agriculturists pursue thu same course? They were
as intelligent and industrious as the manufacturers
of 1780, and could command much more capital.
The reason was the same that operates up to this
moment—they wanted, generally, the encourage-
ment afforded by the example of success in
particular instances, the great stimulus in other
departments of industry ; and the want of such
examples is to be ascribed to one important pecu-
liarity in agricultural pursuits. in every other
pursuit the same man. commands and applies
the amount of capital necessary Car ensuring
success, also owns it, and reaps the profit •of its
employment, and thus capital is abundantly applied.
In agriculture the landlord has, or can command.
capital, but has no urgent motive to employ it.
The tenant, on the other hand, has every ima-
ginable motive to employ capital, but, he neither
has it in sufficient quantity, nor can command
it; capital, accordingly, is not applied to the cul-
tivation of the soil in anything approaching to its
proper amount, and the soil does not produce one-
half of what, by a small additional outlay, it may
be made to produce. But here it will be objected,
that a great augmentation of produce would ruin the
farmer by exceeding the demand, and by, conse-
quently, reducing prices. This is a remnant of
the old error of Lord Liverpool's day—the
error of over-production. It was not, however,
too much production that created the distress
in the five or six years after the close
of the war, but too little money in the
market to pay for it. If the farmer, however, pro-
duce three quarters of wheat where before he pro-
duced but two, is he a loser, though wheat decline
10 or 20 per cent, upon the quarter ? There is
nothing to be feared from the great increase of
c exporting Andonnproduction, if made gradually, as in the nature of
things it must be made. Nay, agriculture may
be, and probably will be, a more profitable
trade long after this country

wtryy ?
Our
Our constitution and laws are better adapted to the
protection of every branch of industry than the
constitution and laws of any other country. Our
people are the most industrious and skilful in
whatever pursuit they engage in ; and we have
infinitely more capital to give effect to their exer-
tions. If labour is dearer with us, its dearness is
not found to affect other branches of industry ; and
there is no reason why we should not send a quarter
of wheat to the Continent with as fair :a prospect of
underselling rivals, as we can send a bale of cotton.
To this we firmly believe it will come, if the
Legislature continue to agriculture a fair protection,
and if only agriculturists, more particularly landlords
(for all depends on them), will but follow the advice
given to them at the Evesham meeting. This advice
may be shortly described as incorporating the land-
lord's capital with the tenant's industry and skill
—each receiving a due share of the return.
Let the landlord, in a word, make all important,
expensive, and permanent improvements, and charge
the tenant a moderate interest for the outlay. This
plan has been adopted with complete success by
the Duke of Wellington, by Lord Harrowby,
Mr. Barneby, and many other landlords. The
land is drained or otherwise improved by the
landlord, who charges the tenant, in some of the in-
stances quoted at Evesham, five per cent., and this
five per cent. the tenant most cheerfully pays out of
a profit of 10, 15, or even '2O per cent., which he
derives from the arrangement. The landlord can,
however, obtain money upon his estates, in
the present state of the money market, at three
per cent. or a little more, leaving him a profit
of two per cent., or nearly two per cent., upon
a transaction by which otherwise he greatly
benefits his property. Such are the pros-
pects of a branch of industry, which our dolo-
rous Contemporary describes as in a prostrate state.
Nor are the most important class of all, the
agricultural labourers, unconcerned in the bright
prospect. Whatever gives additional energy to farm-
ing puts bread into the mouth of the labourer and
the labourer's children. It was stated by Lord
Sandon, at Evesham, that on two farms, where the
number of labourers had previously been no more
than nine, forty have been called into employment
by the new plan.

The Marquis and Marchioness of Clanricarde and
the Ladies De Burgh, on reaching Paris, from Dieppe,
only stayed a few days, and then proceeded on their
route to Nice,
