OXFORDSHIRR. 



Oxford itself, the focus of non-resistance 

 and passive obedience, and hive of place 

 expectant and preferment hunters, has failed 

 of its passive loyally. At a general public 

 meeting, an abortive attempt was made to 

 pass some sycophantic resolutions ; but they 

 were repelled with indignation, and others 

 of the directly opposite tendency were car- 

 ried almost unauimously. This decision is 

 most honourable to the enlightened inhabi- 

 tants, who kave loo long allowed them- 

 selves to be contaminated by undue influ- 

 ence.

 the Chancellor's Prizes, for the ensuing year,

BUCKINGHAM AtiO BERKSHIRE. 



A meeting of the county of Berks, wn» 

 lately held at Reading. Mr. Monck, M. P. 

 was called to th.e chair. Lord Folkestone 

 moved a series of lesolutions, condemning 

 the whole conduct of Ministers, and proposed 

 an Address to the King for their dismissal ; a 

 petition to the House of Commons for a re- 

 form in Parliament : and a congratulatory 

 address to the Queen, upon her triumph over 

 her enemies. Sir F. Burdett seconded the 

 address to the King. The worthy Baronet 

 concluded a long and eloquent speech, with 

 observing, that there was no security for the 

 Queen, the King, or the people, if the Parlia- 

 ment was not efficiently reformed. He 

 thought the restoration of her Majesty's 

 name to the Liturgj' was of the utmost im- 

 portance, for without it tlie Queen could not 

 be satisfied: without such restoration, he saw 

 no hope of peace to the country. But the 

 great evil was the power of that base faction 

 (to whom he owed no allegiance) who dis- 

 loyally shackled the Sovereign, and made his 

 authority subservient to their own selfish 

 purposes. The resolutions, «fec. were carried 

 unanimously, and a vote of censure on the 

 sheriff.
