SELECT PREACHERS AT OXFORD.

[TO Tilt EDITOR OP THE "SPECTATOR.']

Sin,—The Select Preachers at Oxford for next year have just been appointed—the Bishop of Chester, Dr. Manse], Mr. Mozley (a recent Bampton Lecturer), Mr. Blomfield, and Mr. Martin, not a bad list, considering who chose them. It is well known that the persons proposed for the office by the two Proctors were the new Archbishop of Canterbury, the Dean of Westminster, and the Dean of Christ Church, all of whom were rejected by the Vice- Chancellor and Professors Payne Smith and Heurtley, the other members of the nominating board. Comment is unnecessary.—
