POPISU PRIVILEGES IN OXFORD.-1n the ancient
acts of ordination, the fellows of New College, Oxford ;
St. Mary, Winton; and King's College. Cambridge, and
no others, are mentioned as possessed of a special privi-
lege from the Pope, to be ordained by what bishop they
pleased • and they are said to be sufficienter dimissi, in
virtue of that privilege, and without letters dimissory.
CHURCH EXTENSION.—A great effort is about to be
made for the relief of the great spiritual destitution in the
borough of Southwark and the neighbouring parishes.
There has been at least one meeting on the subject at
Winchester House. The venerable Primate has entered
upon the consideration of the case with due zeal, and has
given a subscription of £l,OOO. The Bishop of Win-
chester subscribes X5OO.

The bent of the academic mind at Oxford at the present
day is shown by the subjects proposed for the disputation
in the Divinity Schools lately, one of them being " Whe-
ther the doctrine of baptismal regeneration is supported
by scriptural authority ;" another, " Whether the three
orders of bishops, priests, and deacons, have existed in
the church from the apostolic age ;" and a third, " Whe-
ther the place of repentance is to be denied to them that
sin after baptism."

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

Mr. Frederick Peel, second son of Sir R. Peel, Bart.,
has just entered the Temple as a stu.lent.

Mr. CARUS WILSON.—The Court of Exchequer have
granted a writ for bringing up Mr. Wilson from the pri-
son at Jersey. He was, however, unconditionally re-
leased by the authorities of the island on Wednesday.

THE DUKE OF BRUNSWICK V. MR. BARNARD GRE-
GORY, EDITOR OF THE SATIRIST NEWSPAPER.—In the
Court of Queen's Bench on Monday last, the defendant
in this case was sentenced to six months' imprisonment,
for libelling the plaintiff in the columns of the Satirist.
The Irish Court of Exchequer have decided in 'the case
of Malcolmson Brothers v. the Proprietors of the Dublin
Warder, that the ca'e had against them should stand. It
was an action for libel, and a verdict was given for £5OO,
at the last Waterford Assizes.

In the action brought by an informer, named Hobbs,
against the proprietors of the Globe, to recover penalties
to the amount of £3,300, for the publication of certain
advertisements respecting foreign lotteries, Mr. Justice
Coleridge, in the Bail Court, on Wednesday, decided that
the plaintiff should first have given security for the pay-
ment of the costs in the action.

IMPORTANT DECISION.—In the Queen's Bench, Dub-
lin, last week, it was moved that a peremptory mandamus
should go to the visitors, the Primate, and the Arch-
bishop of Dublin, requiring them to hear Mr. Heron's
appeal against the decision of the Provost and Senior
Fellows, who had refused him a Scholarship, because he
was a Roman Catholic, and would not take the Sacra-
mental Test. The chief justice gave the unanimous de-
cision of the court, that the peremptory mandamus should
go notwithstanding the return of the visitors.
BUSINESS IN THE LAW COURTS.—The business
in the Queen's Bench still remains undiminished, there
being at present standing for hearing for the sittings
after term, which commt.nced on Friday, no less than 138
causes, 103 of which are remanets from the previous
sitting, and the remainder new causes : out of these, 68 of
which are specialjury cases. The court adjourns to Lon-
don, on the 29th, so that it is next to impossible that the
list can he got through. and those actions which are not
decided this silting will remain until November.

MR. WARD'S CASE.—In the Queen's Bench last week
a rule was applied for on the part of the Rev. Mr. Ward,
calling on the chancellor and masters of Oxford Univer-
sity, to show cause why a mandamus should not issue,
commanding them to restore Mr. Ward to his academical
degrees, from which he had been removed under circum-
stances which are well known to the public. The Solici-
tor-General, who had been retained to show cause against
the rule, now advertedito the case, and observed, that as
it seemed very unlikely that the Court would decide the
case ultimately upon affidavits, it had been considered
more desirable by the counsel on the part of the Univer-
sity that the writ should issue, in order that the whole
facts of the case might be stated upon the return, and that
materials might thus be furnished for arguing the case in
the most solemn manner. Lord Denman assented to this
arrangement, and the rule for the mandamus was, there
fore, made absolute.

IMPORTANT TO INNICEP.PERS.—In the Court of Ex-
chequer, one day last week, an action was brought by an
individual named P.irker to recover compensation from
the defendant, who, in the capacity of an innkeeper,' had
refused the plaintiff admission into his house. It appeared
tbat the plaintiff, who is an attorney-at Loughborough,
had driven into the ion-yard of the defendant who keeps
the Chesterfield Arms at Bingham, where he was refused
admission, notwithstand;ng an intimation that the refusal
would subject the defendant to an action. The denial
of admission was, however, persisted in. Baron Parke,
in leaving the case to the jury, said that it was necessary
innkeepers should be aware of the way in which they were
affected by the laws respecting their vocation. The pre-
sent case was without doubt against the defendant, but it
would be for the jury, under the circumstances, to give
such a moderate amount of damages as should be suffici-
ent to teach him that a different line of conduct must be
pursued on another occasion. The jury returned a ver-
dict for the plaintiff—damages Ma.

THE BENTINCK TPSTIMONTAL.—The amount collected
(X 2000) for the testimonial to Lord George Bentinck is
to be applied to some public institution, with a view to
secure, in perpetuity, to a certain number of the children
of deserving trainers and jockeys support and education
from infancy until they shall arrive at an age to seek their
own living.

The celebrated steeple-chaser Discount was sold on
Monday last, at Tattersall's, for 820 guineas.
At a meeting of the Jockey Club, on Saturday week, it
was proposed, and unanimously resolved, that, if a horse
shall fraudulently run, or be entered to run, for any race
by a false description as to age or pedigree, such horse
shall be for ever disqualified running in any race whatever.
It was also resolved, that the sixth resolution, passed on
the 17th of June, 1844, shall apply to the owners, trainers,
&c., of horses which are brought to run and are disquali-
fied on account of age, as well as to those which actually
run.

FURTHER DISCLOSURES ON THE TURF.
A very numerous meeting of the members of the Jockey
Club took place at their rooms in Old Burlington-street
on Saturday, the 7th, for the purpose of taking into con-
sideration a statement submitted to them by Mr. Etwall,
an influential proprietor of racehorses. This statement,
it is now urderstood, involved a communication made to
Mr. Etwall, in the year 1840, by John Day, jun., the
jockey, by which it was imputed that a gentleman very
well known in the betting circles had gone down to Win-
chester in disguise, and had there offered him the sum of
£lOOO to " pull" the Melody colt, the property of Mr.
Etwall, then training in his father's stables, and which,
in all probability, he would be called upon to ride in the
forthcoming race for the Derby. This communication
was made under the seal of secrecy, and it would seem
that Mr. Etwall took no further notice of the circumstance
until immediately after the late Epsom meeting, when,
by some means, it oozed out that young John Day had
divulged the circumstance to some other person.
Lord George Bentinck, to whose knowledge the affair
came, in an interview with Mr. Etwall, asked him
whether there was any truth in the story told ? -Mr. Et-
wall, in reply, it is stated, declared that he had no inten-
tion of referring to the subject, but that as a disclosure
bad been made to others, he had no difficulty in explaining
what had actually taken place as far as he was personally
concerned, and we believe be then described that which
John Day had stated to him. As such a disclosure neces-
sarily involved the character of the party alluded to (who
is a member of the Jockey Club-rooms at Newmarket),
as.well. as the veracity of John Day, it was deemed ex-
pedient that the matter should be taken up by the Jockey
Club, and op Saturday week, as already stated, Mr.
Etwall appeared before that body and made his state-
ment. The matttr was at once communicated to the
gentleman most interested in the inquiry, and he promptly
expressed a desire to meet the ac,:usation as quickly as
possible.

The witnesses summoned were Mr. Gully,Mr. Wrefurd,
John Day, gen., and John Day, jun. The inquiry was
private. Mr. Etwall having made his statement, Mr.
Gully, Mr. Wreford, and the two Days were examined.
