" That it is the opinion of this house that the suns annually voted by parliament for *dentinal parpaar eaght to be made applicable to all the poorer sebools throughout the country (not lain pirate rebook or carried en for profit) in which the attendance and examination of the children exhibit the results required under the revised nide by tar Ysjesty's inspectors of schools." 2. "That to regain the employment of certificated teachers or of pupil teachers by school mimagere as so indispetuable condition of their pulicipatiou is the capitation grant is inexpedient and =just to the manager. of such schools." The hoe. gentleman argued &pion the existing machinery of state education, with its exclusinoess and cumbromains, sad pointed out that the large expenditure of public moody, and the cast appellant of training colleges and pupil toschoss, I was established and is operatics, for the purpose of teaching little children up to the of 12 to read, mite, cypher, and behave themselves. He especially directed his criticism against the system of pupil hatchets, sad objected to the government forcing that clue of teachers on the managers of all schools. He also pemmican decidedly against the certificate system, which he urged was sot efficacioeui in say proportion to its pre.ensious. He urged that the govern anent would put aa end to the present pedantic and illiberal system, aad distribute a m o d erate port i on of the parties sanitary _grant to those schools to wh ic h hi s mot i on appl i ed.

Mr. DUTTON se ',ported the moth's. Mr. P. POWELL opposed it, but admitted that the eteadard of education would have to be !mitred. Mr. SALT, as the manager of ansitMT, was prepared, notwithstanding the specious argumenta of Mr. Walter, to give the revised code a fair trial, and sot to hamper the government in dealing with that which at present was an a: permeate! system. Mr. ADDERLEY also contended that the existing sys tem should be adhered to, end that no school which did not submit to the three tests now in force, namely, the elemen tary instruction test, the inspection twit, and the test of certified tutorship, ought to receive aid in the shape of a gnat of public money. He objected to the motion that it would abolish altogether the two latter testa, end open the treasury to all schools on the single test of their giving elementary education. It would be the introduction of an exception, and any each exception in the distribution of public grants would prove most mischievous. The right boa. geutleman moved as an amendment that the votes for education ought to be made applicable to schools only of the working dames, but to all of them alike, is the way of proportionate aid to voluntary support, subject to the favourable report of the inspector, and to tests of at Heat elementary instruction being given in them by teachers in all respects qualified. The amendment was seconded by Mr. COCHRANE. Mr. HENLEY declared his intention to vote for the motion, believisg it to be • simple sat of justice that the districts in which the poorer class of schools existed, and which had for the last 16 or 17 years contributed their quota to the education grant without orrapiaising, should be allowed to participate in the advantages of that grant. After some observations from Mr. Puller Biz M. Far quhar, and Mr. D. Griffith, end orphan:Mose b Mr. Walter sod Mr. Lowe the amendment of Mr. sod the first neolution proposed by Mr. Walter were with drawn. The bones then dirtied on the second resolution, which was negatived by 181 to 117. ACT OF UNIFORMITY. Mr. BOTTVERIE nee to move that the bones go into committee for the purpose of enabling him to introduce • bill to make an amendment in what was commonly known as the Act of Uniformity. He did not propose to deal generally with the question. That, u they all knew, had recently excited considerable attention in this country, so far as it related to the condition of the church of England and the subscription to the liturgy. That wee • far wider question than the one he now to deal with. The hen. member for Maidstone ..... K•7l7ivite notice of a motion touching that question, and he did not latest to trench upon his province. His object was to amend that portion of the am which was comparatively unnoticed and obscure. The eighth section of the Act of Uniformity required • great number of persons, dean. and canons, professors, masters of colleges, and all fellows of colleges, to make • declaration of maternity to the liturgy of the church of England before they took possemion of their fellowships or incum bencies. In accordance with that requisition no per son could became a fellow of • college at Ox ford or Cambridge until be had dmiend before the Vios.Chsacellor of the university that he coeformed to the liturgy of the church of England. Now, up to the year 1854 at Oxford, arid the ear 1858 ea regarded Oamlwidge, this clause of the Act of Uniformity might be mid to have had no operation, because until them nobody amid take a degree without declaring in one way or soother that he was • member of the church of England. At Oxford be had to sign the 39 articles when he was matrionlated or under-1 Wagena , ted, and sgain when be took his degree ; and at Cam • when • person took his degree be had to declare that he was • bona fide member of the church of Eagbiad. The Oxford act el 1864 and the Cambridge act of 1856 did away with that requisition, and these two acts provided, the one with reference to Oxford that nobody should be required to take any declaration ar make any oath on taking his bachelor's degree ; and the Oandwidge sot de clared that for any degree except divinity no oath or de claration should be taken. Now, • fellow, as they all knew, to obtain • fellowship must have a degree, sad as this de claration in connexion with the church of Ragland was re quired at the time of taking • degree, no person amid pos sibly by university law become a fellow who was not • member of the church of England. But in addition to that be would have also to make a declaration under the Act of Uniformity, that be would conform to the liturgy of the church of England. What he now pro posed to the home to do was imply to re peal this requisition. It was not merely as a theoretio question of liberty of opinion that he proposed it, for on that ground he never would have Invited the house to make a change. It was at the request of an indoestial portion of the resident fellows of the University of Cam- bridge. Last year he presented a potato, signed by no less than seventy-four of the resident fellows, armtheining many of the mad eminent nam es o f men ocineeeted for • long time with the educational system of that great uni vanity, and stating that this requiremeat of Yin Act of Uniformity was in their opinion injurious to the interests si the university, and prayi ng the house to repeal that clause. When he meutioeed that amongst the names at hatted to the petition were these of Professor Sedgwick, Mr. Clarke, and others well known in association with the educational grabs° at °Ambridge, anybody who know anythi ng cis that subject would admit that great weight was due to the authority of that petition. Dr. Thirlwa ll , th e prese n t Bhh o p of Bt. David's, said that if part of the endowments sow enjoyed by laymen were thrown open to disinters the effect would be increased activity at the university, and that if half of the junior fellows who were sow preparing them selves for the bar were dissenters instead of members of the church of England, he did not see how either religion or the church would suffer by such • change. With these expressions of so eminent au authority, time whom, far hie ability, sagacity, and experience of the university, no one was better able to form an opinion on the mbject, be rested 000 tent, and he treated the hones would be willing to go into committee. (Hoer, hear.) Mr. WALPOLE said if they made this alteration what would be the consequence' It would adroit not only members of the church of England, bat members of every Christian persuasion, and members of the Jewish persuasion. Would they alter the declaration for this purpose! How would it work? They had a certain discipline to maintain. A part of that discipline was to attend lectures and to attend chapeL Bat what service were they to have in the chapel if the persons who were to have the management of the colleges were to be of different religion Whoa the University of Leedom was founded, Mr. Arnold was very anxious that the Christian reboon should be professed, and he thought that lectures might be given generally on the subject and idleness's avoided ; and those who took an interest in the college, anioartat wham was Lord Ewell , tried to carry out this view ; but they found the difficulty eo great that they said they would confine the university to wham end literature. (Hear.) The hon. member for Brighton spin cheered, and, in other words, he meant that these great istabliabments should no longer be connected with the established religion of the country. If the hones was pre pared to adopt that principle, it was the legitimate mime quorum of his right boo. friend's motion, but imams& as be thought the house would not adopt it, he thought it but fair to his right hon. friend at otce to say they had better not go into committee on the subject, because it would only be encouraging a hope and expectation that would net be ful filled. He should therefore move the negative of the reso lution. --- Iir7POLLARD-LTRQUHART said he bad listesed with regret to the speech of the right hon. mistletoe° (Mr. Wal pole). He thought the proposition of his nght boo friend (Mr. Bourerie) would tend to th e b ene fit o f the univers • ities themselves, which were only injured by reetrictious on free thinking. Lord STANLEY maid though he knew that there was M the university at present a predominant feeling against the bill, there was .growing conviction amongst the younger members of the governing body that some such change wee inevitable. He should therefore vote for the motion. (Loud cheer. below the gangway.) Sir W. HEATHOOTE said his noble friend had been mis led se to what incurred in 1866. The Cambridge Univer sity Act contained two clauses, one permitting noncon formists to hold all scholarships, and undergraduate eamilementa, and the other forbidding them to become members of the senate or to interfere with the government of the university. He considered therefore that tb• question before the house had really been raised on the previous occadou ; and he warned hoo. members that the point wee not no small ea the noble lord seemed to think. It was a question whether they should satirely overture the posi tion of the church of England in the university ; and though the present step was but a small one, it had a very distinct sad definite direetioo. (Hear.) Mr. G. DUFF wished to express the strong feeling which existed amoogst the younger M.A.@ at Oxford on this sub- He should like also Mask the right hon. gentleman (Kr. Walpole) twoquestioes. The right hon. gentleman had told them that if a Jew were allowed to hold a fel lowship, the discipline of the university would be at an end. He wished, therefore, to ask the r4lat hoe. gen tlemen bow it w in those foreign universiUse--(M, oh) —in which honours were happily bestowed without any re gard to religious opinions ? (Hear, hear.) In the great University of Leyden there weremany Jima, one of whom is a distinguished professor. Had that destroyed the discipline of the Uaivereity of Leyden! (Hear, hear.) He wished also to ask the right hon. g entleman whether it was not a tad that the Christian dismay school and the theological works lately published at 1":ydoe were not superior to throe in the English universities. (Cheers.) Lord R. CECIL was glad the hon. gentlemen Lad avo we d that the °bled of the proposal was to sminalide the mei- , vanities and the theology of Esgland to those of Germain and Holland. (11w, bear.) The question impeding fel ' lovably* was ad me of rewards. The fellowships gave the power of regulating the studies of the universities ; and the object of the proposal was, therefore, to transfer the cod toil of those studies from the church of Begiand to the am ' cooformists. It was armed by the noble lord that the mea -1 ow moored the Mopped'ses of the colleges ; sad it those institutions were isolated eves there might be something in the argument; hot the colleges chase the samisen, the pront d s, and the vimehancellor himself. His sot& ?need e idea was that of small colleges of [hinder and Jew@ existing in the esiversity. (No, ma) Well, his noble I friend midestly erstemplatal the asseesteradat element I gravitating to the small odium. Now he (Lewd R. Coal) did not wish to augged say high Meas. t. He would simply wk. would It y ? Imagism adversity with a Canaria. oho- . (Bow boor.) His right hoe. friend and the noble lard wen men of eellghtesed I da& (Load liberal olisook sad bragliorJ They would, no doubt, send their sous to the nui veraity under such a state of affairs in perfect 000lidonoe that it was the same thing. (Leoghter.) But the people of England were not so enlightened ; and looking at the matter in • Fondling point of view, he wan afraid that if there should be a Unitarian or Jew vice chancellor, the fathers of families throughout the United Kingdom would as soca cut off their right hand as mod their children to such a university. (gee?, hear.) If it was intended to par • measure which would prevent the universities from being the favourite resort of the upper and middle clause of England, it would only be a matter of justice to bear the universities themselves. The object was sot 0.34 to change the character of the universities as reli gious seminaries, but to destroy that character altogether. As other boa. members might wish to address the house on this important subject, be begged to move the adjournment of the debate. (" Hear, bear," and "oh, oh.") Lord PALMERSTON observed that his right hon. friend had given • notice so very vague that it conveyed no notion of the particular motion which it was his intention to make. No doubt the motion was one of considerable im portance, and he thought it would have been fairer to the house, and would have enabled them more easily to acne to a decision, if his right hon. friend had specified the par ticular objec t which he had in view. (Hear, hear.) The present stage, however, was equivalent to moving for leave to Ming in • bill. might be said that this measure consisted very little of details, and involved principle rather than anything else, and that the house might be as competent on the first blush to form en opinion as if they saw the bill. But this was a matter upon which parties out of the house were fairly entitled to have full time for consideration, and on that ground he should not be disposed to vote for going into committee. He confessed, however, that the matter would require grave consideration. The distinction taken by the right hon. gentleman the mem ber for Cambridge was a very sound one, namely, between admitting persons of all religious opinions to every advantage in point of education which the universities could confer, and admitting them to be • part of the governing body. (Hear, hear.) The point adverted to by the noble lord the member for Stamford was not unworthy of notice, namely, that there might he peculiar circumstances connected with the religious opinions of the governing body which might have • material influence on the decision of parents in regard to sending their sons to such a college. Everybody would understand the value of that remark. (Hear, hoar.) Be should say that it would be consistent with the usual peso. tine of the house to allow his right hob. friend to introduce the bill, but in voting for that he should hold himself free to deal with it as upon further consideration he might deem expedient. It would only be fair to the universities to give them an opportunity of considering the measure and making their feeling known to the house. So far as be was con cerned he had no objection to the introduction of the bill, but he must not be understood as expressing any opinion in favour of the measure itself. (Meer.) Mr. BOUVERIE replied that the bill would be limited to the fellowships, sod would not touch the headship at all. Mr. LYGON said that if the house should ke allowed to go into committee he hoped it would be only ft the midge 'Sanding that the chairman should immediately report pro. gramaixl that the question others to Mingle the bill should stand over until after the universities and the church of England had had an ample opportunity of considering the matter. If the house went into committee be should avail himself of its forma to prevent • division being taken on the main question. (Cries of " divide.") Lord R. CECIL said if the hones wished to divide on the main question, he would withdraw his motion for adjourn- Meat. The motion for adjournment having been withdrawn, the house divided on the main question. The numbers were : For going into committee Against Lord R. CECIL asked the government to give them a day for this subject, as it was an important measure,and required ample consideratioe. Mr. BOUVERIE bad no objection to give a long day, and would Se happy to suit the aoeveniemoe of the boom. Mr. WALPOLE hoped the right hoe. gsetlemsn would mention what day he would fix for the second reeding. Mr. BOUVERIE fixed Wednesday, the 3rd of June. Mr. LYOON objected, as he had an important motion fixed for that day. Mr. BOUVEM said before fixing a day he would exa mine the standing orders. Colonel DIJNNE moved for a select committee to inquire into the state of Holyhead harbour ' with a view to MOOT tain the beet method to afford !isle and efficient samara°- dation for the vessels engaged in the Irish mail service, end for the pemeugers seamed to them. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought this was not a case for a committee. The facts were contained in a correspondence which was still in the prem. He should, therefore, more that the debate be adjourned until the papsn were in the bands of hon. members. After • few words in explanation from Hr. H. GIBSON, The house divided upon the motion for the adjournment of the debate. For tbe adjoanment Against it The debate was then adjourned until Tuesday next. DARTMOOR PRISON. Kr.

A most refreshing cost acceptable min, but not very pleasant to those gentlemen who annually make a point of " touting" the Chester Cup horses on the morning of the opening day, descend e d f rom half-put six to eight o'clock this morning. The course, however, bad become so lard that th e we t was not of the sligh test assis tance, beyond laying the dust. Notwithstanding the unpro pitiourweather,bonikerabackers and general visitors were Si usual on the Roods at an early hour. A considerable number of the Chester Gap hones were on the ground early, the only two out who did not do any work being Had dington and Dr. Syntax. The favourite, Stradella, and the north country mare, Caller On, received a large share of attention, and with Asteroid were unqueetionably " the lions of the morning," whilst the unprepossessing appearance of N. Philippe and the "stilly" action of Dunkeld caused their chances of success to be regarded as very remote. As noon advanced the threatening clouds passed away, the sun shone brilliantly forth, and a very enjoyable afternoon suc ceeded. Seven rams were upon the card, and as the unfortunate late hour of a quarterpast two o'clock wee appointed far the commence ment of business, the last event was not fixed until 6 o'clock. The betting overnight at the moms was very limited, and speculation on the Cup bore little comparison with the long hit of quotations we have so frequently on previous occa sions recorded on the eve of the great Itoodse event. So little interest appeared to be taken in " the Cup" that neither bookmakers nor backers attempted to introduce the event in the rooms in the morning, and though 9 to 1 would have been taken about the favourite, no bet about Stradella came under our notice. The highest offer against Caller On was 5 to 1, and double those odds were offered against Asteroid. A few investments on Dunkeld at 100 to 6 were made, but upon assembling within the en closure, the morning gossip of his indifferent "going" in duced those who bad speculated with six sovereigns for " • antary" to get oat by laying a hundred to"a fiver." Vain were the attempts to excite speculation oo the prin cipal event of the week, but the opening day was devoid of betting on the race of the mceyow. In monist with last year, there was • diminution In the Ring and Grand Stand attendance, but the general company appeared to be about an avasage one.

This was a snit aria;iiOutoftliSeircumatances attend ing the divorce recently bad between Mr. Gurney sad Mary Jury Gurney, the person who was formerly his wife; and the point in =me was whether one of the defendants, a child born after Mary J. Gurney left her husband to go away with his one Taylor, was entitled to share in a sum of 2, , which bad, by a very retest deed, been settled by Mr. Gamey in trust for the issue of his marries= The facte of the cam have been frequently sad lately before the public. So far m they appeared on the present coonskin they were Mass. Some time since Mary J. Gurney quitted her has- band's holies in company with Taylor, the sad from that time to the present Mr. eirreel had not seen his late wife, except once when he sew a parecm whom he believes to have been her is the distance in a cab. Mr. Gurney forthwith took mesatiresfor a divorce, and pending those measures, but before a decree absolute, Mazy Gorse, was delivered of a f al-grown at= months male child, the defendant already alluded to is this canes. Moak evidence was gone into to show Mr. Gurney's movements sod game of abode during the time that for the nine months previous to the birth of this th All e d d , and assuming it was, as the me dical testimony went to sup port, a nine months child, there was no doubt from the residence of Mr. Gurney and Mary J. Gurney being at distant places that no possibility of moue saluted. If, however, the child was not full grow., the evades= though it went to the " face" of ario-aocess was not inedragsWe as to the "nou-possibility" of sees= for in the lapse of time it had become not goals to de mosidrate begged doubt at what exact spot Mr. Gurney was during every day sad night of the nine immeass. Mr. Gurney was asked in his examination whether there hsd been access ; but on objections taken by the counsel for the defendant, be was not allowed to reply. Is this state of things, however, and with evidence leaving no room for doubting but that moms never did take place after Mary J. Gurney ran away with the groom, the cam was brought before the court On the side of the defendant it was strongly urged upon the omit that this sum of 2,0001. had been settled for no other reason than to get a judgment, which in its effect should bastardise this child ; that the court would not permit itself to be made a party to such a purpose, and thus that whatever the merits or demerits of the case might be, the court would not entertaia the plain tire WU The Solicitor. General, Sir H. Cairns, Mr. Asplaud, tad Mr. Hutton were for the plaintiffs; Sir F. Kelly, Sermint Bethintine, and Mr. J. N. Colt (with whom was Mr. Holt), were on the other aide. The Vies-Chancellor remarked upon the singularity of the fact that an attempt should appear to have been made to raise a question of this kind in this way. But, although the real point at Moe might be, sot the child's share in this 2,0001., but its legitimacy or illegitinmey, he could not on that account decline to entertain the suit. Every day questions were heard in this court in which some col lateral end was the real object in view. la many came, indeed, he found that the court was made the medium of advertising goods. But more legitimately its influence was called into play is mess of guardianship and so forth, when the administration of funds was made the means of obtaining directions of the court under which the religion, the amorists', sad the controllers of infante were selected and maintained by the court. A purely' and simply fictitious litigation was no doubt diseoatyed, and, indeed, prohibited by the court.. Neither would they allow themselves to be the medium of deciding mere wagers, such as were made in the notorious Chevalier d'Eon's ow. This, however, was no fictitious question, and the court could not, simply because it might happen to know Mr. Gurney was • gentleman of wealth, decline to decide • question arising on so comparatively small • sum. The proposition which had been made by the de fendant's mussel, to bring a emu of 2,0001. into court, could not be listened to for a moment, for it was • mere attempt to buy off the decision of the question. And with regard to this point, his Honour could see no reason why this ovulation should not be determined now. The status of the infant could never be better settled for its own late reels than at this time, when it was yet sot only legally but in fact in its infancy. He should therefore proceed to determine the cense. And having disposed of the preliminary point but little remained to add. for in other lemmas the cause wee in reality undefended. Indeed, it might well be so, for the evidence was so cogent that no one could doubt but that access had never takes place, and that this was the child not of Mr. Gurney, but of Mary Gurney's paramour. In this respect the case was much stranger than the authority of the ewe which had been cited as decided by the House of Lorda. Under all the circumstances the plaintiffs must be declared as the only children of the marriage of Mr. Gurney and Mary Gurney, his late wife, to be entitled to the fund in question.
