Insult to MI. Everett. at Oxford.

bers dissenting because it is under
stood the American ambassador was
at one time a Unitarian minister. A
scrutiny into the votes was demand
ed; but the Vice Chancellor says
that he was not aware ofthe fact I'M
til too late a stage. The dissentients
threaten Interior proceedings, to set
aside the degree; while in punish
ment for the riot, a fellow has been
rusticated for five years, two other
persons for three years, and a fourth
for n year. A number of the dis
sentlents have presented an address
to Mr.Everett, earnestly disclaiming
personal motives, and expressing the
highest respect for his character and
station.
The Examiner, abiding to this
disgraceful affair, says: There seems
TO be but one opinion, me feeling, as
to the iasult offered to the American
minister at Oxford. At no pot-house
meeting of the lowest rabble coald
worse manners, worse taste and
worse feeling have been exhibited.
And, to crown the ~decency, zeal for
religion is the plea put forth for the
rude breach Of all the rules Of hospi-
tality and courtesy to a stranger.
The defence, bad as it is, is untcn-
able, for honorary degrees have been
conferred on persons not ever pro-
Tossing Christianity; but the objec-
ton to Mr.. Everett was one which in
the eyes ofbigotry, is worse than that
ofinddelity, that he was a dissenter.
In the Oxford brutalities we see the
blessed fruit Gifts exclusive church
system,-London Spectator.
