The Woolwich store-ship, which is arrived at Ply-
mouth, from Malta and Gibraltar, briny an account
of a very severe action in the Mediterranean, between
the English frigate, the SPARTAN, and a frigate, cor-
vette, some brigs, and several gun-boats of the enemy'.
The Captain of the SPARTAN was severely woundeils
and between 20 and 30 of her men were killed or
wounded. The enemy, it is supposed, suffered still
more heavily, and we should conclude the English
frigate succeeded in driving the enemy's flctilla off,
as she captured one brig, and sunk another. This is
probably the same action as that sp.iken cif so eon'
fusedly in the French papers, and in which the enemy,
as usual, claims a victory. The acc, unt, howevers
received by the Woolwich, is not sufficiently precise.

THE INSTALLdTION.

ODE !OR THE ENCZNIA AT OXFORD;
PERFORMED LN THE •THEATRE, JULY S.

its mute amaze .the !rutted Roman lay,
What timeon Af.rlcssulny zone,
In visions of the night was 'hewn
To his rapt atind.telestial Glory's way.
Before his woriderinivjew was spread
The green 'Earth's lid Ocean bed;
He marked hoW farina-Ow barren main
Stretched its inhospitable reign ;
How wide o'er ad the eaequered land,
Lay wastes of eitovi, and.seas of sand;
How thin dispersed the space between,
Where fields and peopled towns were seen,
Like shadowy spots upcin the fickle deep.
Then caught his ear the theme sublime
Of him whp bade Aim upward climb,
To gain by patriot worth the glorious steep ;
Where listening to the mystic optima,
Unbodied spirits of the heroes throng,
Charmed by that mazy dance, and undisturbed song.'
. .
Thus who that scans the roll of Ants past
But views with grief from side to side
The spreading of the waters wide,
The gloomy mountain's form, and desert waste ?
Though Greece her olived hills among,"
Tune the richthick-warbledfomr,
And bright the purple vintage bloom
; • •
Around the stately towers ofßopte r• •
Yet far-removed the.climes'and few.
Where cultur'd plants of genius grew, •
Like some Batavian pasture fair; •
By toil severe and wakeful care ,
Won from the cheerless void that slumbers by:
And soon frtim Ocean's either bound
Returning billows burst the mound ;
Fast shrinks the land before th' affrighted eye,
By Gothic waves encircled round;
While Paynint floods in fiercer tide advance,
And scarce a green isle leave to break the vast expanse.
Yet happier deem not theirs the lot of yore :
Alike for us that vintage streatnl;
For us the golden harvest gleam'd,
Awl ours the fruit that distant ages bore.
And ever with revolving years
Fresh fruits and flowers each summer bears,
And gathering riches swell the store
Combined with all the. pleased before.
While in our native woods and plains
Fancy wakes her living strains,
And Eloquence her thunder plies,
Or bids persuasive accents rise,
Soft scattered from her lips like wintry snows !•
Still sounds the tuneful Doric choir,
The Attic shell, the Mantuan lyre,
That charred embattled Rome to stern repose ;
Still glows the fount of heavenly fire,
That beam% on him, first favour's' of the Nine,
Who sung the wandering Chief, and tale of Troy divine.
Let low:born Pride the precious gift despise,
Let sullen Ervy backward fling
flit b'unty of each earlier spell;
St. curs the task !o guard the glittering ptiZe.
Still as we tend the grateful toil,
Princes lend she cheering smile;
An:l Nobles of liter loftiest line
sands to deck the shrine,
By wisdom, woith, and !taming Ost.ih,
'11'1: sr.. Oxford seats her patriot son;
Welt pleased in each maturer grace
Of word and well-planned deed to trace
he manly promise of his opening morn.
B:s.t. Patriot he! *hose steadfast way
:or courts, nor lawless crowds can ninny,
Nor light deceit' on breath of flattery borne :
In him, should clouds o'et-hang the day,
et shall that secret srlf-approving Poway
Cahn every anxious thought, and cheer the darkest hour.

OXI ORD, WEDNESDAY, JULY 4.

Tlis morning, at eleven, the CHANCELLOgi with
the Governors of the Infirmary, proceeded to St.
Mary's Church, which was previously crowded with
the best company in Oxford, where the service was
performed, assisted by the vNeal powers of Messrs.
BRAfirANt, BARTLESIAN, KNYVETTi and VAUGHAN.--
A sermon was preached by Dr. Hoot-Ev, Canon of
Christ Church, in recommendation of the Charity—
" Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself." The Doc-
tor, tram these words, contrasted the partial and sel-
fish love of the Jews and Pagans with the universal
benevolence which was first preached and practised
by Christianity, He then strongly and pathetically
described the many accidents and necessities to which
nothing but an Infirmary could give relief; and dis-
played the advantages of Christian instruction and
Christian comfort, which the Oxford Infirmary afford-
ed to the patients, in addition to the best medical
skill and attention.

We cannot but repress a wish that Oxford pos-
sessed a Church appropriated to the University. We
think it inconsistent with the dignity of Oxford and
of Cambridge to borrow a Parish Church for the
University Sermons. A magnificent church, dedi-
cated to that purpose, and adorned with the montt-
ments of the illustrious characters of the establish-
ment, would he an object of utility and veneration.—
The collection amounted to near /000, besides pri-
vate donations. The Governors afterwards retired
to dinner in the Town Hall.
Its the evening there was a Miscellaneous Concert I
in the Theatre, still more crowded, if possible, than
that of yesterday. Luckily, the rain has coolled the
weather, and the heat is not disagreeable.. CATA•
LAN' was mistress of herself, and delight was the
order of the evening.
Lord GRENVILLB continues in perfect health, and
the sincere and universal cheers with which he is
greeted must add highly to his gratification. He
repays every attention by particular affability and
general liberality.
