ticular circumstances, he cannot obey, as both
parties perfectly well know. No doubt, all oaths
which contain prophetic clauses, as they are totally
distinct from those binding to a conscientious dis-
charge of duties, will be abolished.

Arrangements are to be made for allowing stu-
dents to pursue special studies during the latter
part of their course ; securing, it is to be presumed,
respectability of attainments in the general subjects
of study. The restrictions which embarrass one
desirous to use some of the libraries and museums,
which at present amount almost to complete ob-
struction, are to be in a great measure removed.
Fellowships at present are limited by various
considerations, a frequent one being that the na-
tives of some particular county or diocese only
shall hold them. The founders of these no doubt
intended to encourage learning in his own locality ;
and it is doubtful whether local endowments do
not often effect much good in maintaining an
honourable rivalry between neighbouring districts,
as well as in keeping the attention of the young, in
one place, steadily directed to professional subjects.
The Commissioners are of opinion, however, that
all Fellowships, with a few exceptions relating to
Wales, should be' open : thus sound learning and
good character would be the only qualifications
requisite for their possession. They also recom-
mend the abolition of the rule by which scholars
rise to fellowships without renewed competition :
like the senior captain in a regiment obtaining the
majority as a matter of course, though not the best

At present the originating of all new matters rests
with a select body, called the Hebdomadal Board ;
and, as all of them have been long connected with
the University, they are on the whole greatlyaverse
to change. This right it is proposed to extend from
the mere Heads of Colleges, to Proctors, Professors,
and the Senior Tutors in all the colleges and halls,
while at the same time they are to be permitted to
speak in English instead of in Latin.
Fellows are not to be compelled to enter into
holy orders as hitherto, under the penalty of losing
their fellowships ;—a rule that has made clergymen
of many who were designed by nature and qualified
by habit for far different pursuits.

It is not likely that all the recommendations will
be adopted, but it is highly probable that the majo-
rity of them will ; and though we cannot wee the
reasons or the necessity for some of the changes
suggested, the spirit of them seems to be that of a
Reform rather than a Revolution.

MR. CARDWELL'S JESUITISM AGAIN.
WITHIN the past week two important documents
have appeared, each giving the opinions of Mr.
CARDWELL. One is a letter from Mr. SAMUEL
HOLME, containing Mr. CARDWELL'S most dis-
tinct reply on the subject of the Navigation Laws ;
and the other a letter from the Rev. W. W.
EWBANK, inclosing a second statement from Mr.
CARDWELL on this and on the Roman Catholic
question. It appears that on the 11th of July,
1847, Mr. HOLME wrote to Mr. CARDWELL in the
following very explicit terms :
" On the question of a repeal of the Navigation Laws,"
you say, (in the published address) " I will support no
change calculated to interfere with the growing prosperity
of the shipping and commercfal interests." This is indis-
tinct and unsatisfactory ; and Mr. Ricardo might; with
perfect consistency, use the same words, and yet press for
the total repeal of these laws. lam not a shipowner, but
I am deeply interested in the success of this commercial
port ; and any injury done to our shipowners will, like an
electric shock, be felt by the whole community. I am
anxious to see our mercantile marine, which is the source
of our naval supremacy. protected—fosteredpreserved.
I want to see the humbler classes of my fellow-townsmen
employed, as they have hitherto been, in all those mani-
pulations which are required from laying the keel of a
vessel to the spreading of her sails. I object to the with-
drawal of that protection from our shipwrights—our anchor
smiths—our ropers—our sailmakers and our riggers, which
would inevitably reduce them to a level with the ill-paid
artisans who inhabit the shores of the Baltic. I object
to the transfer of our shipbuilding to foreigners who will
not reciprocate with us ; and I hold that an alteration of
the principle of our Navigation Laws would be as unjust
as it is uncalled for, and would prove to be a suicidal act
to the nation at large. Trivial modifications may, indeed,
be required ; but I trust that, upon this important topic,
I may also have your candid avowal, whether you will vote
for their repeal, or whether you will most cordially oppose
such a proposition.
We place Mr. CARDWELL'S reply side by side
with that portion of his letter to Mr. EWBANK
which refers to the same subject ; and our readers
will see for themselves how " hard up" the honour-
able member is, when he can degrade himself by
such shuffling and duplicity :
