Uhtvtersitt Obsteuction " , and the Sense of the Nation . —Universities , like the establishment , reflect the temper of the nation ; they follow the will of the power "by which they exist , and it is idle to blame them for being what the nation has chosen them to be , and this appears to be the generous attitude to assume on the present inquiry ; unless , or until , the subjects of it by any short-sighted wilfulness of their own , shall compel vis into less lenient feelings . If it should so turn out , as the manner in which the commission lias been generally received , and the haughty refusal to furnish evidence , with which its questions have in some
instances been answered give us reason to fear that it may , that the heads . and fellows of the various societies intend in a defence of convenient monopolies to fall back upon the letter of the statutes , to declare that times are not changed , that human nature and its necessities remain the same , and that ingenuity can devise nothing better than the system which the statutes embody ; or , if not so , yet that the wills of founders are sacred , that the perpetual application of their Lequests in statutahlo manner is guarded by anathemas which they may not encounter ; then , indeed , their manifold perjuries must fall with full weight upon
them , and they must take the consequences of the position into which they thrust themselves . It i . s not that we have any fear that by this or any other process they can Heriouhly obstruct the reform which the nation required ; the question is only of the moral position in which a large body of educated gentlemen art ) to stand . . . . . The arrangements of the founders of the colleges are already evaded for private advantage ; and tho nation is at least equally at liberty to revise the existing interpretations , and consider whether the . public : good in not of as much importance us the comforts and luxuries of a fow hundred private persons . There can be no doubt of this , and there ; can be no doubt that this revision will take client precisely at tho moment when the nation pronounces it necessary . It in for those at
present in authority at Oxford to consider whether they will render an opposition ridiculous by resting it on a ground ho futile , when , if they would state- their real objection to tho proposed reform , they might , perhaps rondor real service to it ; and at leant our respect would jbe commanded by a nfcraightforward antagonism . No on « beliovcs that founders' wills are their 1 rut ? diHieuK . y . They nro afraid of change , not for itself , but , Cor what it may bring . They are afraid of Liberalism , Riil . ionuliHMi , Gorinaniwin , which they mv . m to hco gathering behind it—and who hIhiII blanm them ? certainly not we , if they will only be honest . 11- in « fair ground of fear . Tim wiw'Ht man cannot leave tho familiar ground of custom for an untried clement without misgiving ; and if miamving byeomo active rtwiatance , it is no more than
what experience has taught us "both to look for and to respect ; only do not let them make themselves contemptible by calling in a spectral legion of founders to their assistance , whom they and we alike know to be no more than phantoms . — " The Oxford Commission , " Westminster Kevietv . The Tendency ov Chtjbcii Rkfoem . —The tendency of the p- ont time is not towards the establishment of forms of belief external to the Nat ional Church , but to extend the terms of communication in the Church itself . The Dissenters , as a body , are waning , while men of all opinions , from the virt ual Roman C atholic to the free-thinker , remain formally within the Establishment . They are able to remain , as it grows more clear to them that it has no claim to teach any precise doctrine ; that it is in fact no more than an establishment . There is no doubt that this is tho direction in which the current i . s at present setting . All men would sooner avoid singularity and conform , if their conscience would let them ; and consciences are becoming more easy about it every day . — " The Oxford Commission , " Westminster Review .

but not imprinted on the face of man signs equally descriptive of a base and alloyed nature : — " Q , Zev ti Brj xpucroO jjlcv 6 s KifSSrjXos xi , TtKfirjpi * avOpanroKTiv ayiraaas crcKprj , avSpcav S ' , orto xpr ] rov kokov 8 iei 8 evai 6 v 8 ets x a P ar VP efJLTT&fivKe aafiari ;" how tlafc sentiment must have " brought the house down . " But to the Burlesque . In the first part , Jason , " a jolly young waterman , " in the form of Julia St . George , appears at Colchis , to" Beard the Lion in his den , The Creon in his hall ;" and to carry off the Golden Fleece . Creon defies him ; but Medea having Bet eyes on him , and fallen incontinently in love with him , the paternal defiance is set at nought , the Fleece is won , and Medea elopes- In the second part , " years have elapsed . " The daring maiden is a neglected matron . The mistress has lost her spell . Jason doesn't find her fascinating , and wants some other " party , " with whom "to spend his evenings . " It is improper , I know ; very ; but such is Jason . After all , as a bachelor , I can perfectly sympathise with him ; for Medea was not only his wife , but a wife who " knew what was due to herself" ( I think you have met that kind of dignity ?) , and , like all women , " troubled with a tendency to tears "—Karri Eaupvois i < pv . Now , I put it to you , respectable and respected Sir , could Jason stand that ? He couldn't—he didn't . It is very poetical to talk of bathing the pillow with your tears , but in reality it is damp and not at all amusing . Moreover , I can ' t make out that Jason was not as good a husband as Jones—a little inconstant , perhaps , but , as Euripides says , women are fastidious on that point , " they think if their husbands are faithful , there is nothing more to be desired . " 6 p 6 oVfl € VT ) S evvrjs , yvvciiicfs ttovt ^ x € tv "o / xi ^ ere . ( More lead !) so Jason not being constant , Medea resolves on vengeance-Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned , Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned ! Imagine this canvas filled with puns , and songs , and you have before you the revival of a Greek play burlesqued . There are things that will not die . Medea many centuries ago agitated Athens , yet she is alive to this day . The Golden Fleece , which you thought was dead , revives with a . vigour that amazes you ; and what is this that rises from the grave in shape so questionable that we must speak to it ,
and call it " Vestris ! queen of Taste » . " say , why has the tomb opened * t marble jaws and suffered that form to revisit thus the glimpses of---rl 1 footlights P It cant be Vestris . She is dead ; buried ; the papers cl nicled the fact ; and Charles Kean went into mourning for her f "Wh ^ Phantom , then , assumes the well-known form , and breathes the w 11 known contralto P For a Phantom it has a wondrqusly real aspect f 0 Phantom it has a most astounding voice ; are those noble arms , drooni ^ so grandly over that grey dress , but simulacra and optical illusions of ^ loving pit ? If we did not know that Vestris was dead ( have not the paper said soP ) -we should declare she stood before us , "in her habit as sh * lived . " The pit received the Phantom with an enthusiasm which at an rate was real . That was living , if she were not . y I suppose the real secret is that "Vestris cannot die . Officially she tnav be buried ; but her spirit has so welcome a home in every British bosom grateful for years of enjoyment , that the public is _ willing enough to accept even the shadowy phantom and believe it the living woman . Ex . plain it as you will—that she is dead is notorious , yet go to the Lyceum Theatre and you will mentally hum ( if you think of it )—" I ' ve not been dead at all , says Jack Robinson . " Charles Mathews as Chorus sings two " patter " songs with the finish and careless ease you know . Julia St . George makes a charming Jason ( she has greatly improved in her singing by the way ) , and I ought to say a word for Mr . Horncastle , whose Herald was a good bit of burlesque . Frank Mathews in Creon , though not so unctuous as James Bland , was , nevertheless , amusing . A farce of odd and original construction followed . It is called , A Souse out of Windows ; and is acted entirely at the windows , the actors never once putting foot on the stage . There are several droll effects thus produced by Roxby and Baker ; and the farce decisively succeeded . Used Up was played on Tuesday and Thursday , and will always be attractive so long as Charles Mathews remains to present such a perfect picture of character . The very " coloured sketch" of Taking hy Storm followed , in which Charles Mathews is the type of irresistible effrontery . On Monday , The Game of Speculation ! The Hatmaeket has in preparation Michelieii in Love , a comedy which , in its original shape , the Censor prohibited , and which thereby excited a nine days' gossip . Marston ' s new play at the Princess ' s is announced for production " in . a few days . " And at Sadler's Wells , Phelps is reviving , with all his religious care and completeness of ensemble , Henry V . Vivian .
