The influence Of Oxford upon the higher classes
Of English society, and through these upon the ma
tiopal character, cannot easily be Overstated.
new spirit has, however, manifested itself within
the last year in the Colleges on the 1sis, and the
noble desire of getting the lead in English educa-
ton seems to expand the soul of the Fellows.
Puseys friends having, one by one, gone over to
Rome, old Cbaron, as he was called by one OF the
greatest wits Of England, sits idly in his ferryboat
and ponders whether he ought to follow his friends

done and there is scarcely anybody among the
young generation wishing to cross under bis
guidance. The reign of the Tractarians having
passed away, their place is occupied by the
school of the late Dr. Arnold, and Oxford now
bids fair, by expansive views and liberal prin-
ciples, to take position at the head of England.

Oxford will once more connect herself with the
middle classes. giving up her old Toryism in religion
and sciences, and will be able to establish the stand
ard of liberal education all over the country.
The political agitation in France is on the in-
crease, much to the annoyance Of the Emperor ana
his immediate friends. The bugbear OF Socialism
has ceased to frighten the middle classes and Paris
is tired of being ruled by the ignorant agricuurlss
of the rural Departments led by their priests and
Goyernment-sppoiinted Mayors. NapOleOn's hopes
now lie exclusively in the division OF the opposition
and since there always were some associates OF the
Police among the Red Republicans, ne has sue

and violent party men, in order to brighten the
middle classes and break up the unanlmity Of the
Republicans He wisely calculated that the names
of Barbes, Victor Hugo and Ledru ROin must be
more popular among the working classes than those
Of Cavaignac and Laboulaye; but there was time
enough left for the refugees to give their advice to
the electors to stick to the original ticket. Though

Napoleon feels uneasy; he appeals to the principles
of 1859 which he declares to be the immutable
foundations Of French society, and in the same
breath he gives the Steele the third aud last warn

more absurd, the Aon,teur continually complains OF
the interference Of the Ksimakar of Moldavia with
the elections for the Divan at Jassy. The Turkish
Government might, indeed, reply that they only
humbly try to copy the ilustrous example OF the
Emperor, without being able to come up to his
standard. The election fever has extended to the
provinces, but here with the exception OF the great
cen'ers Of population, like Lille, Lyons and Stras-

the reluctant towns for the maintenance of the
Established Church. The good sense Of some Tories,
however, especially Of Lord Peterborough, saved the
Government, aud abolished this remnant of former
Intolerance.
