SATURDAY, Two o'Caocit.
No later account has reached us from Oxford than one dated at twelve o'clock last night. At that time the friends of Mr. Peel had no hopes of recovering their lost ground on the poll, so as to secure the return of Mr. Peel ; but they calculated on reducing the majority of Sir R. Inglis. From a careful examination of the poll- books, it appeared that of twenty members of Parliament who had voted, only two were for Sir R. Inglis, and that of the lawyers very few indeed had voted for the Anti-Catholic candidate. The supporters of Sir It. Inglis were chiefly clergymen, most of whom have mixed little with the world.
Nothing official has transpired as to the reported resignation of the Attorney-General. It is fully believed, however, that he in- tends to resign, and that he has had some information of the details of the proposed Bill for the relief of the Catholics. Letters from Ireland, of Thursday's date, say that the speech of the Duke of Clarence on the Catholic question has produced a great sensation there, and materially lowered the tone of the Brunswickers. A public subscription is talked of for Mr. O'Connell. INWe have this morning received German papers to the 92nd in- stant. Their contents are of little importance. Vigorous prepara- tions are going on for the opening of the campaign in Turkey, and all hopes of peace seem to be abandoned.
