SANDWICH.

Our talented townsman, the able chairman of the
South-Eastern Railway Company, has been returned one
of the barons for the united borough of Sandwich, Deal,
and Weimer, in conjunction with Lord Charles P. P.
Clinton. They were returned without a contest ; for
though it was not known till a few hours previously that
Mr. Macgregor was in the field ; as soon as it became
known, the Whig candidate Lord Paget ran away. Mr.
Macgregor, in an able address, delivered after his election;
avowed himself a firm supporter of Lord Derby's Govern-
ment, and " hostile to Popery in every phase and form
which it can assume."

OXFORD UNIVERSITY.
Although the retirement of Dr. Marsham was com-
municated on Tuesday evening, and announced by both
committees, it appears that the poll could not be closed
until Wednesday, as it had been arranged that it should
remain open until that time, in order to afford every pos-
sible facility for voters from a distance to record their
votes. The contest was considered to be virtually at an-
end, and only a very few votes were recorded on Wednes-
day, as will be seen by the returns. Dr. Marsham's
committee issued no returns at all. The poll closed at
seven o'clock, and the following are the returns which
have been issued by Mr. Gladstone's committee :—lnglis,
1,368 ; Gladstone, 1,108 ; Marsham, 758.

Macaulay, of Professor Wilson, the." Christopher North"
of Blackwood's Magazine, who, although suffering from
the effects of paralysis, has paid his homage to eminent
literary talent.
