The Oxford election is ended at last. Perhaps
this is the most striking instance Of rampant tory op
position to high personal talent and enlightened pc
tical views that has occurred since the days Of Lord
North and the "heavenbom" Pitt. 1t is satisfactory
however, to reflect that, although every nerve has
been exerted, and loads Of money have been spent
in bostering up expiring cause, Messrs. Dennson
Co. have been most sgnally defeated-the state Of
the polls on the last Of this weary fourteen days
election exhibiting majority Of l24 for Gladstone
Oxford has been for the nonce surprised out Of her
usual sobrety; masters of arts usually disposed
to lecture logic and discuss good port than enter
actively on politics. have been seen hurrying, halt
mad up and down the High street and in and ont OF
the schools. Bat cni o?-the whole has proved q
failure; the last of the Mohicans has expired-their
race is effete-they belong to history.
How anxious, indefatigable have been Louis Ma
poleon's endeavors to procure some alliance with
lady whose birth is registered in the Gotha Almanac!
The Baden affair turned out complete failure;
the intrigues Of dear old Princess Stephanla were
valueless, and poor Louis was fonnd-de frop !!
In fact after hawking himself through the States Of
Europe, he is at length compelled to put up with
morganitie nsesaNiaace with one Donna Eugenia de
Montijos of whose family or antecedents no has
any knowledge further than that she is true Spanish
blood -sangreagnla-th daughter OF one Of the
first houses in Spain. Oh +! what fall! The Count
ess Theba and her daughter Eugenia are about to
do great things for France Let us see the results
4 Josephine once exerted Q healthy influence over
France; but dream like that, belonging exclusively
to the old empire, is not likely to be realized in the
reign OF Napoleon's successor. Louis Napoleon is
still the rejected Of royal lovers; perhaps for the
nonce, as in his unces case, puppet lady-a refine
fa,neante-may serve his purpose till better times
time families. Louis Napoleon, verify, has all the
audacty of his unce but it would be hard to discover
where he is to procure the ability to meet all the re-
qurements necessary for him to cope with or eclipse
his great uncle.
There has lately been an emeute between the pro-
priet0rs Of the theatres and the gentlemen of the
press The latter, very properly, had from time i'm
memorial possessed the right OF double entrae to
the metropolitan theatres; but the privilege was
grumbled at and the claim has now, we believe, in
most cases, been allowed to fall into disabeyence.
is great matter of doubt, however, whether the
propretors Of theatres will benefit their interests by
this policy, for, If critics have interest power

stay away. It is too short time since the commence
ment Of the system to Judge of its result but most
probably the press win think less Of the theatres and
the latter will fall their resources and merits.
Railway accidents such prolific source of daily
news that they scarcely require notice; but sec
recent disposition in the directors Of companies
to accomplish the onething needftl for securing the
safety OF passengers; that is, to establish perfect
communication between the conductor and the en-
gneer-the great desideratum-the indispensable
requisite, in all railway locomotive. We are glad
this has been done, or is in progress being accom-
pshed because it lies at the foundation Of all secure
travelling by rail- Three or four recent accidents have
resulted from this very and let the station sig
mails be ever so correct they may all fail If the
gneer is not in constant intercourse with the con-
ductor at the rear of the train Surely magnetic
influence might be made to run from carriage to
carriage, and from rear to 'front.' TO do all we hope to
see accomplished.
