OXFORD UNIVERSITY ELECTION.

In consequence of the paramount interest at-
tending this Election, we have made such ar-
ungt,ments as will enable us this evening to give,
bY txpress, in a Second Edition, the entire
proceedings of the day at Oxford, together
with the close of the 11
pe .

By extraordinary exertions we were again -enabled
to give yesterday,in a Third Editon, the whole of the
day's proceedings at the Oxford. Election, and by
dispatching expresses after the mails at a late hour,
to co-----
y
..Ye the intellignie,to most parts of England,
Scotland, and Ireland. t'

The defeated Brunswickers being beaten at every
point, and reduced to the lowest state of despon-
dency, have, as a last resort, had recourse to a
roost ingenious system of manufacturing Anti-Catho-
lic Petitions. Thinking themselves not sufficiently
degraded by the support of the Morning Journal—
though such a depth of degradation ought,
We conceive, to be quite enough to satisfy
all reasonable being,--they have actually

applied to two convicted felons, who, with a pa-
trliaticcondescension pecitlially to be admired, have
affixed their signatures to a late notorious Ascend-
ancy petition. This, we presume, .was by way of
"hancing its respectability. In other parts the
;acne respectable means have been adopted with
aquesuccess. In one place old women, in another
school-boys, in a third school-girls, have been zealously
canvassed for their support and persuaded to sign
petitions, whose object, they were artfully in-
formed, was to relieve them from. the persecutions
of the Pope, the Papists, and the devil. Really
there is something in such chicanery so truly con-
temptible, as of itself to annihilate the cause of
Intolerance. But not only is it contemptible;
k is worse—much worse ;—it is a solemn
toockery of one of the greatest constitutional
Ptitileges of Englishmen--a satire upon justice that
41tant be too strongly deprecated. When CA-
!"101114, wished to offer an affront to the Roman
eitate, he could think of no method se effectual as
• 414ing.his horse a Consul. The Branswickers have
'Proved upon this hint, and instead of horses, have
set up asses as politicians, and taught them to
insult the Legislature, by petitioning for a system
of exduSion, of which not one in a hundred knows
the Meaning. We trust, however, that all such
Petitions will meet with appropriate consideration.

The following are extracts from the Allgemeine

The French Journals are still of little importance
la the ivay.of information. The Constitutionnel, in-
deed.
-44 a. paragraph, with the sounding title of
itl4'4litical news of high importance," states
I,t-444: other things, that " a treaty of alliance,
it:ll4ll4)re and defensive, has been concluded be-
-Itussi4 and Prussia; and that . another
"er•'solicited to, maintain an armed neutrality
Zt4lll, 100,000 Men, has acceded to that proposal,"
114(18 that there is a report that " the Army of
ii%-tfr.l°!eas under the command of Marshal Maisos,
"'"erftisecl.to- 25,000 men." This.news, imever,

bears little or no evidence of authenticity : it looks
more like a random ion of a dashing Parisian
Journalist, than a ?ober grave fact. With
.regard to the last assertion, in particular,
it happens unfortunate!), for its correctness, that so
far from being reinforced, the French army in the
Morea is on the eve of its return home. The other
French Journals afford no food for comment.

:Sir ROBERT INGLIS is, we learn, nearly exhausted.
From far and wide, from East to West, from North
to South, from every spot, no matter how remote or
uncivilised, where a tabernacle has ventured to rear
its head, or the twang of a strolling fanatic has elec-
trified his congregation, the supporters of the worthy
Baronet have rushed in droves to the poll. Not a
bigot at Oxford has escaped a canvass ; M.A.'s
have.been roused from their chapel slumbers, and
D.D.'s from the discussion of their wine, yet all
without avail; intolerance has done her utmost, and
is already beginning to despond. With regard to
the majority for Sir R. INGLIs that appears in our
columns of to-day, it is one very easily accounted
for. Ills Committee had made it a point of policy
to take the field with a vast numerical force, to be
foremost in the display of an overwhelming influ-
ence, and thus to impress on the Liberals the hope-
lessness of even attempting a resistance. Such
inameuvres would not have been without ingenuity
had they been at all appropriate to the case, but un-
luckily the Committee proceeded on wrong data.
They calculated too much on their own adroitness,
and too little on that of their opponents, and in thus
attempting to carry the Election by a coup-de-main,
will, we trust, find themselves egregiously mistaken.
But should there be any nervous spirits among
the supporters of Mr. PEEL, on whom his oppo-
nent's specious majority has made an impression; we
would implore them to throw aside their doubts—to
hasten frons the Slough of Despond—and come
boldly forward to the Poll. Every hour, every
minute, is now of value. There is no time left for
vacillation; the season demands decision—prompt,
unequivocal decision. What will the more

lightened public think of Oxford if her former Re-
presentative be rejected—rejected, too, for the most
meritorious act he ever yet performed—for that act
which will hand down the name of PEEL, the
Emancipator, to posterity, when PEEL the In-
tolerant, is forgotten ? Does the University
think to acquire lustre from the pamphleteer-
ing and oratorical celebrity of an INGus ? Alas,
it is already forgotten, or remembered only to furnish
materials for ridicule and laughter. Does it hope by
his exertions to retard the progress of liberality, to
roll back the wheels of thought, or say to the ad-
vancing tide of intellect, " thus far shalt thou go,
and no farther ?" Preposterous idea! Not all the
Oxfords in the universe—were there even one in
every town and village in the kingdom—and were
each one represented by an INGLIS, protected by an
ELDON, and backed by the Boroughs and the ideas
of a NEWCASTLE—not all these together could, for
one single instant, stem that mighty torrent of im-
provement on whose surface the mind of England is
now proudly and securely aPoat. Once fur all,
then, we conjure the friends of civil and religious
freedom to rally round Mr. PEEL, and to show by
their support, the sense they entertain of his late
sacrifices, and the detestation they feel for an absurd
and idiotic bigotry.

We received this morning Jamaica Papers to the
19th ult. The Courant of the 15th cont•iins the
7ollowing letter, which gives some further parti-

culars respecting the capture of another slave ship
by the Grasshopper:—

HA VANNAII, DEC. 8.

Yesterday the British sloop of war Grasshopper,
brought in the Spanish Guineansan, El Firme, with four
hundred and eighty-three slaves, captured off Dominique.
By the treaty with England these slaves must be farmed
to masters for five years, and then (for bonds are given)
they are to be emancipated. The Tuscan brig arrived
yesterday from Barcelona.
