TEM ABOLITION (OXFORD) BILL - - - Mr. NEWDECIATZ trusted that the right hoe. gentle man opposite (Mr. Gladstone), the other member for the seiverity would not support a measure which would dig erpatee hie euestiteesey who had shown him great ecienhaacy and forbeamaise. He trusted that the bill would he minted on the sewed reading, because it was for pur pose sot avowed, but which would opeo up greet quit' time t h at most lead to cootroversy of the most bitter kind, The CIiANCKLLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the home was invited by his boo. colleague to reject the second resailag of this ball, sad if soy authority in that house had hose necessary to induce him to follow that course, the vein of his hoe. friend would hive been sufficient. During the mealy yeah they had both represented the University of Ozferd—though antis( on different aides of the house— there had not hoes any material or vital difference of opinion between them. But upon this occasion he was not aide to follow the call of his boo. friend—Omar, bowl— ing be could sot help exploring regret that his be.. freed had moved the rejection of the bill. He be lieved that this sad other questions could only be settled by fair diaeussios is that house and by the intelligent minds of the naiverety ; aad the deservedly high position occupied by his hos. friend, sod the great weight attaching to his (hammer, were considerations which qualified him to inter pose as a mediating party in these questions, end pointed Lis out as one who was likely to bring about • happy accommodation of the difficulties that were raised against this measure. (Hear, hear.) But his bon. friend bad refused to accept any such task, and had invited the house at ores is reject this hill. He confessed that be thought the Uni venity.of Oxfard should have the power of admitting to the evening body persons whom it might be desirables* bring sato that body on special grounds, even though they might not belong to the church of England. But that power ought to remain with the university itself. Another change shield be that professorships should be thrown open irre spective of any religious teaching. Then again, 'as regarded halls, there ought to be some alteration. So far as re tv enis t. acquainted with the nonconformist bodies, be found that some of them were most anxious that they should be allowed to found private halls, to be presided over by Motors of their owe persuasion. At presoak at Oxford the system of private halls was almost inoperative, and if balk could be founded at Oxfonl on the sense plan as at Cam bridge, it would be quite sufficient for the purposes of the nosconformista. In the Oxford act of 1R.53 it was provided that any member of convocation, having first obtained • Loewe for the purpose, might open a private hall. and it this oecemarily beloaged to a member of the church of England. Now, nuder that system the nouconformista most keep their sons from the university altogether , or the most place them uodir the control of members of the church of England. He could not see that any danger would arise if they allowed young men who west to Oxford to be pieced under the discipline and care of other pencils than them of the church of England. (Hear, hear.) In the ' Cambridge Act of 1856 no privilege in regard to pri vats halls was granted to members of convocation ; but they were left open to members of that university, and therefore any gentlemes, having takes the proper do gma, and complied with the rule■ and wadies**. might epee a private hall without being a member of the church et England. That was • point of great practical importance, sad he thought it would be invidious to maintain at Oxford a system which had not been **needed to Cambridge. At Cambridge uo test was required from a young man who had ehiaieed a college emolument which might he the means of meeting him during the time he was au undergraduate, and he did not see why the same course should not be allowed at Oxford. Those were the points which remained open for dinsunioo. and which if conceded would not in any way in. ' tetfere with the exclusive privileges of the governing body i of the university. Such being the state of the law, he was at • loss to understand why his hon. colleague should take epos himself a course of indiscriminate resistance to this bill He did not wonder that the govern. isg body at Oxford should express their objections to the measure, but it was for the house to consider the whole quietens. sad to endeavour in their wisdom to modify coo. dieting interests. It had been of bite too much the fashion to offer resistance to all measures of this nature, and hots. gentlemen opposite seemed determined not to concede one of their privileges until it should be wrnag from their ' , and when the value of its relinquishment would not grasp folly appreciated. He was not there to ask for any favours on behalf of the promoters of this bill, hut he felt anxious to do his duty and to consult the feelings of all classes in reference to this question. He did not doubt the encerity, but he did the wisdom of the course of his hoe. collesgue. It was generally kuowe that sects and parties would make use of the day of their prosperity, and that they would sat make any coocassion except under extreme coercion. Various bills bad of late been proposed which in volved concessions in one shape or another to the diseenters, bat they had all been rejected. He would warn hon. gentlemen that in these triumphs of the moment they were malaise difficulties for themselves, and for those who would sit on those benches in future years, and he believed that *itch a policy was not the best for the interests of the church of Eegland. Hear, hear.) . ...... . . . . Lord K. SIONtACI. , supported the bill, but suggested that any difficulty with regard to it might be got over be assimilating the practice with regard to the tests at Oxford to that which now existed at Cambridge. Mr. BUXTON objected to the system of tests with which the bill dealt, as tending to impose a heavy burden on the consciences of young men in the university, who, by ques tioning their validity, incurred the danger of being accused of scepticism. He objected to the repressing of the great in. tellectual movement and the martian of an opinion which was going ou amongst the youth of this country, by such teerneoels and obstacles as the tests in question. Sir S. NORTHCOTE said that while the opponents of the bill were accused of indiscriminate resistance to it, it we the fact that the support it received was of a most in. dieerinsioate nature—different members supporting it on different giounds—so that it was difficult to discover what was its etact principle. The case of Cambridge, which had boss quoted, was not in point, as the measure proposed to pee Oxford far is advance in regard to subscription r.f the eider university. It was not, however, to be supposed that Oxford was determiaed to offer resistance to every measure of chugs and improvement because objection was made to • bill, the principle of which was deemed to be inadmissible. Mr. WALTF:It said the supporters of the bill ware at cross-purposea, for its proposer seemed to desire to admit dissenters to the privileges of the governing body of the sehrersity ; while Mr. Gladstone, who supported it, said that was sot what be meant to advocate. While be was prepared to support a measure which would relax the pre med system of tests, be could sot adopt • bill which went as far as that now propose& Mr. GOSCHEN denied that the sole object of the bill was to admit dissenters to the government of the univer sity ; its object was to relieve the distressed consciences of assay members of the univemity, and to remove obstacles to learning and inquiry into truth which the present system of tests created. • WALPOLE pointed out that many. if not most, of the supporters of the bill supported it on different grounds, and claimed for it a efferent principle ; so that it was sought to introduce sal pus a measure which professed ipso object, while really cud practically its effect would be to carry cut soother.. _ _ Sir 6. LACEY mid he wished to state distinctly that in supporting the second reading of this bill, he did so upon the assumption that its principle was not the severance of the exclusive connexion between the governing body of the usiversity and the chutch. He believed, however, that if it were reed a third time in its present shape, that would be the effect. !Opposition cheers.) At the same time, it would be perfectly competent for any hoe. member to move the introduction of the necessary qualification is committee. Mr. DoDSON shortly replied. He thought he bad cause to complain wbon hon, member@ asserted the principte of the bill was not that which he bad represented. he princi ple was sot the admission of diameters to the governing bodies of the university. but the opening out of university education, and the removal of all unnecessary stringent tests.

SHEFFIELD, WIDNISDAY. The melancholy work of starching, or it would be more correct to my digging, for the dead still goes on imemaingly all dowaltite valley of the Locksiey, from the river aide of the embsakmeat to the tows, Excursioa trains caution* to bring crowds of people into Sheffield. and many tboaaands of spectators dotted the balm of the stream to-day from early morn till dark. Most of than have come from Manchester, and being dressed in holiday attire the long picturesque valley presented a some of the ' greatest animation throughout its whole attest. The river itself has now dwindled to • little brook, but the vast qua tity of iron mill-wheels, moat of them deeply embedded in the ground—the huge masses of rock torn from the mountain aide —the bottom of the valley denuded of every • particle of vegetation, and looking like the bed of &large river in a season of drorght—are the marks which the passage of the flood has left behind it, and they are marks which many years will not efface. To-day I visited the riven dyke. It presents the appearance of a rugged and dangerous moan tele pan. The immense mass of loose earth and rubbish which had formed the backing up of the dam had been carried far away down the valley and deposited in the streets and collars of the people of Sheffield ; bat lumps of clay and blue marl (part of the puddle wall of the em bankment), many times bigger than a house, lay mattered about in all directions in the bottom of the val ley, and the water rippling between sad run ning in a long silver stream down the centre of the gorge gave to the Locksley all the appearance of a wild mountain torrent, intercepted here and;there by huge mama of rock. The reservoir itself, when intact, must have been a picturesque little mountain lake, and the ease as you looked beyond it up the valley till the nags of vision was bounded by the distant bilk, was of the most placid beauty. The remains of the embankment form two hills of no Moon ' siderable height, with a mat chasm between them as if the mountain bad been rent by an earthquake, and all day long these hills were crowded by a coastal some& 'ion of spectators Moat of these were evidently quite un acquainted with the district, and were bent on making their ' way to she head of the dam, or to the °abridge railway I station, about six miles from Sheffield, that being the station to which the excursion trains came. It was a melee choly sight to see here and there a little knot of the resi dents digging for some lest one almost unnoticed by the great holiday crowds who came to gratify their curiosity by viewiog the magnificent ruins that have been caused by the flood. In the course of the day three or four bodies were taken out of the valley and conveyed to places set apart for their reception. Meanwhile the work of clearing the lower pan of the town of the ruin is being rapidly proceeded with, an&the committee appointed yesterday have set about their charitable work of relieving the necessitous. Today the mayor, Mr. Jump, has received 6001. additional subscrip• lions, and members of the committee and persons appointed by them sit all day long at convenient places in different parte of the town to relieve persons the geeuiamem of whose distress is vouched for by their neighbours or the police and others appointed to go round to the houses. A vest quantity of clothing Las been seat to the Town-hal for the use of the sufferers, and has proved most accept-1 able, more so, perhaps, than money. Most of the dead have now been interred. Yesterday afternoon I witnessed the melancholy spectacle of between 30 and 40 of the uniden tified dead being carried away to the cemetery. They were taken in carts, with just a piece of tarpaulin thrown over them. No crowd was following, the spectacle of hideous black deal coffins carried through the streets being at pre_ sent too common to attract attention. A alight shudder and a quickened step, as the wind caught the tarpauling and disclosed the nature of the load, was all the recognition which the few musses by made as the carts containing the coffins moved along at a brisk pace. These unfortunates now sleep in a quiet cemetery overlooking the valley where their guidon death overtook them. Now that the last offices have been rendered to the great bulk of the victims, and labourers are every where employed in removing the daris and putting things in order, business has began slowly to resume ita rway, and but for the large crowds in the streets and in the neighbourhood of the Town- hall you would not suppose that anything extraordinary had boOPotode NEW UNDERTAKING& The Lord Mayor has received in the course of yesterday and the previous day between 6001. and TOOL for the benefit el the sufferers. Several new undertakings are announced. The Mercantile Credit Association ' in conjunction with the Credit Fonder (Limited), announce that they ars prepared to receive subscriptions for the capital of the City Offices Com pany (Limited). This undertaking has been formed to supply a species of accommodation which joint stock companies and private firms now find extreme difficulty in obtaining within a con venient radius of the Bank of England. The pro ject is not brought forward until arrangements have been made for the purchase of five eligible blocks. f land, with the buildings thereon, situated respectively in Clement's-lane, Leadenhall-street, Great Tower-street, Bishopsgate-street, and Corn hill. In the latter locality the premises recently erected by Messrs. Sari and Sons have peen pur chased, and two-thirds of the building hilt* already been let. The block in Bishopgate-street is more than four times the size of the Auction Mart, lately sold. The purchase-money for the whole of these blocks of land and buildinp is 365,0001., which is stated to compare very advantageously with the value recently realised for properties of a similar character. The capital is 1,000,0001., in 20,000 shares of 501. each. The direction is very respect able, being composed as follows :—Mr. H. F. L. Astley (of Messrs. Astley and Co.), of Nicholas lane ; Mr. Alderman Dakin ; Mr. Charles Ellis, of Lloyd's ; Mr. James Levick, of King's Arms-yard ; Mr. Edward Masternian, of Messrs. Midterms°, Peters, and Co.;• Mr. Edward Warner, M.P. ; Mr. F. G. Westmorland, of Messrs. C. Joyce and Co.; and the Right Hon. James Stuart Wortley. Another new project is the London Commercial Hotel Company (Limited). It is proposed to erect on a suitable site adjoining Wood-street, Cheapside, a large hotel, to be specially adapted for the accom modation of commercial travellers. The building is to include a spacious subscription-room, to which merchants, manufacturers, and others, whether residing at the hotel or not, are to be admissible. Other rooms are to be let for sales by auction, public meetings, kc. There are also to be a depository for the keeping of patterns and samples, telegraph offices interpreters of languages, etc. The capital is 150 , 0001., in 15,000 shares of 10/. each, with a deposit of 10s. per share on application, and 1/. 10s. on allotment. Five per cent. inte rest is to be allowed on the sums paid on shares during the construction of the hotel. A deputation from the London Trades Council waited yesterday by appoiotmeot on the Chancellor of the Exchequer, at his official residence in llowniog•street, with reference to the proposed Goveroment Anouities Bill. The deputation consisted of Mr. Odgers, secretary of the council; Mr. Applegarth, Secretory of the Amalgamated Society of Carpenter@ ; and Mr. Coulson, Secretary of the Bricklayers Society. The deputation was accompanied by Mr. Thomas Hughes The CHANCII.IOII of the EICHEotza expressed the plea sure be felt at hearing the explanations and statement. of the deputation. He bad felt convinced from the first that the vast majority of the working classes were favourable to the principle of the Annuities Bill. With regard to his re marks upon the Exeter-hall meeting anti the action of trades societies, they bad been much curtailed in the newspaper reports, and thus made to appear more harsh than they really were. He, however, had certainly been under the im on that trades societies were generally coercive bodies towards the minority, and Lad expressed himself to that effect. He was pleased to hear they were not so, at least to the extent he had supposed, and would take an early opportunity of stating his opinion in parliameat. He entirely conceded the right of the workmen to combine in a union io defence of their wages, as the only means they bad of defending themselves against the power of capital, but at the same time he cookaded for the right of every man to sell his labour on what terms be chow. He thought the remark of Ms. Odgers respecting the franchise pm , feettly justifiable • th ere was no doubt the liberal party in the Howie of CtUnmoos had failed in their duty in this re spect towards the working-classes, to whom, be thought, the franchise should be extended, and about which he should shortly have something to say is the house. He regretted that the clam who bad obtained their franchise through the efforts of the working-classes should seem so little disposed to admit them to the same privilege. He then went on to ' explain and defend the :Inanities Bill, and said it was an absurd cry to say to was opposed to self-government. No man was cow embrace its benefits unless be chew, and if he did e could do that for himself which now required a mast cumbrous, expulsive, and insecure machinery to do for him. He was glad to bear the trades societies did not oppose the bill, which, be believed, as it became better known, wouldibe more appreciated. The deputation, after some further remarks, then with drew, thanking the right hoe. gentleman for his courtesy.

Umow.—Yesterday evening the eleventh annual distribution of prime to scholars of ragged schools who bare kept their situations over twelve moeths took place under the presidency of the Earl of Shaftesbury, at Exeter Hall. Those who were to receive prise. occupied a considerable portion of the hall, but the only indication of their coo orates with the wont neighbour hoods in and about the metropolis was the display of a nein her of banners, bearing the names of the localities in the city of London, in Westminster, in Lambeth, Camberwell, Walworth, and Deptford, in which these schools have been established. The prizes, consisting of email sums of mosey sod certificate cards with a portrait of the Earl of Shaftes bury, are only open to those between the ages of 12 and 17, but during the ten years no lees than 6,000 of these rewards have been distributed.

ROYAL NATIONAL LIFEBOAT INSTITUTION. The auuual general meeting of the friends and supporters of this institutioo was held on Tuesday at the London Tavern ; Sir J. Elam:row in the chair. The meeting was influentially and numerously attended. I'DO CHAIRMAN expound the great satisfaction he felt in taking the chair on this, the fortieth &naively/ay . of so im. portant and national an institution. It was en institution of which Englishmen might be truly proud. The clear and important facts which were detailed in its annual report could not fail to elicit the admiration of everyone. After mom* further appropriate remarks, the chairman called on lir. RICHARD LEWIS. secretary of the institution, to read the annual report. It stated that during the past year the institution bee been able to send no lees than 15 new lifeboats to the coast, and numerous others were io course of construction. The lifeboats of the institution numbered one hundred and thirty-two ; and some of them were the means of saving to les, than four hundred and seventeen lives and seventeen vessels during the past year, nearly the whole of them under dangerous eircumataoms, amidst high surfs, when so other descrip tion of boats could have been launched with safety. For these services—and for saving 297 shipwrecked persons by fishing and shore baste or other means—the institution bad granted rewards amounting to 1,351!. On occasions of ser vice and on those of quarterly exerase of the lifeboats, about 6,000 persons were afloat in them, yet not a single life had been lost. Transporting-carriages and boat-houses had been provided for most of the said new lifeboats. The cont. mitt«, regretted to report that the number of wrecks during the past year was, as usual, very large, and that the gales in October and December were perhaps the most destructive that ever visited the shores and seas of the British isles. It was, however, most gratifying to be able to report, that during the time that these storms lasted, the lifeboats were providentially the means of rescuing no leas than 385 ship wrecked persons. With • shipping representing about 60,000,000 of tons, and 4430,000 vesicle which cleated outwards and entered inwards from British puts during the past year. a large number of shipwrecks had become almost a natural sequence. Accordingly it war found that 1,602 casualties took place last year on the shores and in the Nee of the British Idea, accompanied with loss of 568 valuable liveli— ness of the utmost consequence to the °Dormer°, and de -1 fence of the country. It was, however, gratifying to find that during the same period 4,565 person, were rescued by lifeboats, the rocket apparatus, ohms boats, and other means. The total number of lives saved during the forty years from the establishment of the institution, in 1824, to the endof the year 1863, either by its lifeboats, or by spe cial exertions for which it bad granted rewards, was 13,568. During the put year 15 silver medals, 26 votes of thanks inscribed on parchment, and 1,2971. in cash, had been granted for sewing the lives of 714 persona by lifeboat,, shore and fishing boats. slid other means, on the coasts and outlying bulks of the United Kingdom. Since the forma tion of the institution, it had expended on lifeboat esta blithmenta nearly 100,000/., and had voted 82 gold and 738 silver medals for saving life, besides pecuniary awards, amounting together to 17.630!. The committee referred to the cordial 00-operation of the local branch committees, the Board of Trade, the coast guard, and the railway and steam packet companies. The expenditure of the institution is the year 1863, on its lifeboat establishments, was 11,3774 14s. Id. ; 1,351!. 6s. 4d. in rewards for services to ship wrecked crews - and 2,4411. 9e. Id. for coxswains' salaries and the quarterly practice of the boats' crews. Legacies amounting to 1,8622. 16s. 6d. bad been received by the is. Winn.= during the pad year. The report having bees moved sod unanimously adopte d, resolutions in furthersnoe of the objects of the institution, and pledging the meeting to renewed exertions on behalf of this truly benevolent national institution, were pared ; and the usual complimentary vote of thanks having been given to the chairman, the proceedings, which were of an into. resting character, closed.

IL Loisset is one of those oosmopolitan gentlemen peculiar le circuses, wbo, though born in France, belong a little to every country ; and his well-deserved fame as an equestrien director and rider of the "high school" bee been earned by hard work for marry years throughout Germany and the Netherlands.

The hones appear to be well-trained and in good condition, and all the appointments sae characterised by much taste. The appear ance of the ring -masters, dressed in something like full Prus sian cavalry uniform, had a most brilliant effect, and even the clowns, of which there are three or four, including the well-known Mr. Croueste, late of the Adelphi, hal some thing of glittering novelty imparted to their ocetnnis.

Next in point of sitcoms was • French equestrian game—a race after ribbons attached to the shoulders, executed with great skill mad neatness by three ladies, named Emma, Pezold, and Bede°. M. Loire& exhibited a spleedid "trick-horse," and went through an act of "high" ri&ne—maisaging two fine horses, one ridden sod the other driven, with equal snoops. A charming Master Charles Thompson--etated in the bills to be only six seen old—gathered • perfect harvest of oranges foe a clever Bioedin performance on the low rope ; and Meseta Franck and Ifelhing—tbe Brat on the the second on the horizontal bar ("Tared' faeliim)— much —d applause for their exhibition of mason cpower. The " star-rider" of the company to be Miss Louise Loisse.—• lady who takes every over a 7 whether a dozen sheets or through fifty hoops, withou any false bounds or hesitation.
