OXFORD FESTIVITIES . -We have once before taken note of the doings at Oxford during'the mayorality of Mr . Bichard Spiers . 'Otrr readers "will remember that some time since he ( entertained a large party composed of the county gentry , the University authorities , and the citizens . ! Ehi 6 week he has entertained the citizens and the children of the public schools . On Tuesday uight a goodly company gathered in ithe Tow . n-halL The walls were covered with paintings in oil and water colours—the works of Etty , Staafield , Millais , Collins , W . Hunt , Turner , Prout ,
JFrost , F . Stone , Cattermole , Pynej Warren , and many others . The Oxford arti 6 ts vrere represented lay a list of twenty names , at the head of which stood 33 oxall . The company consisted of members of the University , members of the Town Council , local rnotiables , and artisans , w'itli their female friends , wives , and daughters . During the evening a concert was performed b y the Oxford Choral Society , assisted by the Misses M'Alpine j and refreshments were rplentifully served out in the Council Chamber . The -whole went off with great spirit ; and was sustained until midnight .
A iiiore striking sight occurred on Wednesday . The pictures in the hall were entirely re-arranged - " wlfch , the view of placing the subjects the most inrteresting to children in the most accessible positions . Tea , coffee , and cakes were plentifully pfovidedj and It was arrangod that ' a concert shoiild take place in the evening . 1 ST 6 fewer ttian 1000 school children arrived , in braids , with flags and music , jiftd tooic itp their stations in the hall . In divisions
of 200 they marched slowly ; round tire hall , and then retired tb the refreshment room , where aldermen , the sheriff , arid several councillors superintended the repast . This being well got ovoT , the whole returned to listen to the concert , ¦ which they enjoyed to the utmost , cheering and Stamping vefteiften tly at the close of each piece of rnusie . Among them \ Vas one ragged-school They all behaved "Well . On Thursday and Friday the hall was Opened for the public .
Other mayors have done great things for Oxford , no doubt , but not one has doiie more towards bringing about a harmony of feeling between the Uni-• versity aiid the City , and between the citizens among themselves ; than Mr . Spiers .

THE ABORTIVE * BEER ACT . The Licensed Victuallers have held various meetings ¦ this wooic , in Xondon and the provinces , lo jirotest . against the New Anti-Public House legislation . The speeches made have had in view merely the interest of the trade—not at all that of the public : and are , therefore , not very well worth reporting . At these meetings the Morning Advertiser has been highly denounced , not only for its dereliction of duty in not protesting , in time , against the legislation which lias cso injured the trade of which it is the organ , but for
its " Sabbatarian" tendencies gonoriilly . At one of these meetings ( Marylebone ) , Mr . Homer , who is a loader in the trade , and supervises the editing of the Adocrtiser , made a personal defence , and hinted that the 1 maes of the trade were not ; joining 1 in this agitation , and that , on the whole , it was a foolish agitation . Meanwhile the magistrates are correcting that part ¦ of the bill whioh inconveniences Sunday excursionists to the suburbs : —generalising the moaning of " Traveller" : " In a -week or two , therefore , wo shall hoar no n > o : ce of a bill—thus put on one side .
