FOR the second time an attempt has been made to defeat Mr. DODSON'S Bill for relaxing the religious tests of the Universities, and a second time the attempt has been defeated. It was pre tended, indeed, that although the second reading had been carried some weeks ago, the supporters of the Bill differed so much in their views that the principle involved in it was still open to discus sion. But the majority of members refused to listen to so transparent a fallacy, and pronounced in favour of the Se►rass leaving the chair by 236 to 226. Whatever may be the ultimate fate of Mr. DODSON'S Bill, it is certain that the cause of religious freedom will have gained enormously by the discussion. The intolerance of what SIDNEY Snail was wont to denominate modern Percivalisni, and the hesitation of some of the Ministers, may sucoeed in emasculating the Bill, moderate as it now is. But a temporary defeat is better than a nominal reform, and therefore it is earnestly to be hoped that Mr. DODSON and the University Reformers will not bate one jot or tittle of the demand which they have preferred. The Bill as it now stands will merely have the effect of enabling a man who has passed through the schools at Oxford to take the Degree of Master, and to exercise the right of voting in Con vocation. To consent to any amendment which would have the effect of curtailing those rights— of clogging the Degree with new tests and new de clarations—would be to abandon the ground upon which the University Reformers stand, and to sacrifice the principle of nationalizing the old Universities. No compromise is possible—no com promise ought to be entertained. It is to be hoped, therefore, that even should the Government make any such proposal, it will be rejected without hesi tation. The only tangible argument which was adduced by the opponents of the Bill was that the admission of others than members of the Church of England to Convocation would dissever the connexion between the University and that Church. It was assumed that the University be longs exclusively to the Established Church; that it must be placed under the exclusive control of those who are prepared to sign the Thirty-nine Articles, and the other tests ; and that such per sons only are entitled to its emoluments. It is natural enough that Sir WILLIAM HEATHCOTE, Mr. HENLEY, and Lord ROBERT CECIL should advocate this principle. But Sir GEORGE GREY has announced that the Government adopt the same view, and we wait with some curiosity to hear the grounds upon which Ministers are prepared to reconcile their professions of liberality with their maintenance of this monopoly. Hitherto the great majority of Liberals have regarded the Universities as national institutions. They were founded for the common good. Parliament has legislated for them on this very ground. And the claims of those who advocate further legisla tion are founded on the same principle. There is of course an Established Church, and the theolo gical professorships connected with the Church it is not proposed to secularise. But there ars lay men members of that Church, and laymen not members of that Church. These laymen are entitled to a share in the great public endowments devoted to education. It is a grievous injustice that they should be excluded from the benefit of such endowments ; and until the barriers of ex clusion are removed the contest must continue. Neither the lay members of the Established Church nor the Nonconformists can be satisfied until they obtain admission into Oxford, and are allowed to claim their just share in the emoluments of our great national institutions. This is the simple principle which lies at the root of University reform ; and it is because Mr. DODSON'S Bill tends to carry this principle into effect that it claims the support of all true Liberals. But even if it were admitted that the University ought to be confined to members of the Church of England, it must also be admitted that tke present system of tests has completely failed to accomplish its purpose. What is a member of the Church of England ? The ambitious young aristocrats, who writhe under their Caucasian chief, declare that no one can be a true member of the Church unless he believes in the creed of High Church Toryism, and proclaims Archdeacon Duvraos as his prophet. The Recordite-Puaeyites insist that no one can be a true son of the Church unless he repudiates the authority of the Privy Council, and is prepared to sign the famous Decla ration which was lately circulated throughout the country. The advocates of the present testa main tain that no one can be a true member of the Church unless he is prepared to assert under his hand his belief in the 500 dogmatic states entscontained in the Thirty-nine Articles, and to promise that he will not use any form of prayer but the Liturgy. How is it possible to reconcile opinions so conflicting and even contradictory t How is it possible to pretend that there can exist any real unity of opinion in a mass so heterogeneous t Nor does the difficulty atop here. There are thousands of laymen who, although they consider themselves members of the Church of England, would refuse to sign the Thirty nine Articles. Are such persons to be permitted to continue in her communion? or are they fit subjects of excommunication! But if they ought not to be excluded because they will not sign, why should they be excluded from entering the Universities and sharing in their endowments? What reason can be adduced for setting up two separate sorts of Church membership—one for the ordinary layman, and another for the layman who, having passed through the University, desires to take his Master of Arts degree! Anomalies and contradictions meet us at every turn. But perhaps the most glaring of all is that pointed out by Mr. Laaman. " I know," he said, " many Nonconformists who " entertain a firm belief in the literal truth of the " story of Nomeit Ark, but who entertain grave " doubts as to the reality of Bishops. There are, it " is notorious, some Bishops who entertain doubts " ea to the truth of the story of Noah's Ark. Now " such is the asp) " of testa, that • " Noen's Ark "University, the. " University because Thus it seems , sistent with the bedew to the old Universities, het it has cam pleb* Wad *acoornpliph the object for which it was invented. Such a systole most he abnadonecL Half a dozen famished plaos•huntersanay succeed now and then in collecting together at a dinner the super annuated heads of the most wealthy and- liseirt dis tinguished Colleges, and a mixed multitude of Fellows and Undergraduates, in order to induce the public to believe that the University of Oxford is opposed to any relaxation of the present system. But the delusion will soon be dissipated. Those who know anything of the University know well enough that all the intellect and piety is on the opposite side. The leading minds at Oxford are shocked at the thoughtless apathy engendered by the habit of signing docu ments which are either unintelligible or actually disbelieved. They are disgusted with the tyranny and injustice of excluding men of delicate con science and scrupulous integrity from the prizes to which they are entitled by their industry and their merits. Even the conscientious Mr. NIWDIAIATZ compelled to rest his opposition to the present Bill on the prodigious maumption that it would exclude Presbyterians from the English Universities, although it is ascertained that two of the Scotch Universities have petitioned in favour of the Bill. Surely it is not difficult to anticipate that the claim for relief from these vain and immoral tests —opposed as it is by arguments so feeble, and supported as it is by the ablest and most high minded men of all persuasions and all partial— must ere long be conceded.

Lord and Lady Palmerston, Lord Granville, Earl and Countess of Spencer, Duchene of Man , elestar, Lord Hirris, Lord A.

The directors in attendance were Colonel Puke, M.P., Colonel Duncombe, Mr. Forbes, Mr. Fabey, and other gentlemen, with Mr. Leith, the super intendent of the line ; Mr. Fortes, the assistant secretary, and other officials. The train was appointed to take its departure at half-past 11, and shortly before that time Lord and Lady Palmerston arrived and were warmly greeted. The Premier walked rather lame, but in other respects he seemed in good health. With her ladyship he took his seat in one of the saloon car riages, Lord Granville, the Earl and Countess of Spencer, the Duchess of Manchester and party, oc ou • another of the saloons. hT Prince and Princess and the Duke of Cam bridge arrived punctually at the appointed time. A large crowd was assembled outside the station at Kin cross, who loudly cheered their royal high acmes. The Princess was dressed in a rich black silk dress and jacket handsomely braided, and seemed in excellent health. The Duke of Cambridge took his seat with their royal highnesses in the saloon carriage. All being in readiness, the royal train left the station at twenty-five minutes to 12 o'clock amidst the cheers of the large company assembled OD the platform, the Prince and Princess frequently bowing as the train drew out. Mr. Leith, the superintendent of the line, was in charge of the train, and was expected to reach Cambridge at 1 o'clock. At Hitchin the Great Eastern Railway Company's officials would take charge of the train during the remainder of the journey. Most extensive preparations had been made at Cambridge to receive their royal highnessee. (nom ors owl( moms) CAMBRIDGE, Jinirs L _ Having arrived in the great university town early in the afternoon I was surprised to find that on the very eve of a royal visit everything appeared to be wrapped in the profoundest repose. There were not more passengers than usual came down from town by the train ; and if there be ordinarily fewer people in the streets than I observed on my arrival, then indeed must Cambridge be the most tranquil of residences. Even the market-place in which quidnunc' from time immemorial have been ' wont to congregate when anything particularly stirring was on the local tapis, wan almost a desert, and the only abnormal appear ance was a general irruption cf bills of "apart ments to let," the inhabitants of Cambridge, as is usual in the provinces, being under the impression that the great object of royal programs was to raise the price of lodgings in the district visited. The streets, I was informed, had been populous in the morning with the students, and much gossip had floated about touching the non placets of the previous day. There was general satisfaction that the contemplated opposition to the Dean of Westminster had so signally broken down, and questions were asked as to how the Duke of Manchester or Lord Leigh could have given canes for a single hostile vote ; but all this had subsided long before my arrival, the examinations were' , going on within the university walls, and, out of doors, the only novelty to be observed was the body of London police who bad just arrived, and who in their extraordinary helmets which have just been adopt ed, were certainly the "observed of all observer " Neither were the preparations to-day parti cularly active. The symptoms of ovations] timber at the various "coigns of vantage" were few in number and small in size, there not being a gallery erected which would accommodate more than a couple of dozen persons. A little pruning might be observed here and there, and a moderate quantity of triumphal bunting disported itself lazily across the streets, but nothing was to be observed thatcould be interpreted into a general demonstration of fervour and excitement. The busting' at the corner of Trumpington-street, upon which the mayor and town council are to present the address, are in a state of great forwardness, but are of modest pretensions, the word "Welcome," painted in very large and legible characters in front, being the most con spicuous decoration of the tribune. Had I not been positively informed that the Prince of Wales was to visit the city and university to-morrow, I should certainly have imagined that the royal re ception bad come off yesterday, and that the fatigued inhabitants were all en retraite, reposing after their exertions, and setting their houses in order. But to-morrow, I am told, we shall see what we shall see. The weather is beautiful, and the locality is well calculated to give effect to a festive t. The mixture of old and new houses, tt: g :l i e n an regular streets, the various colleges, " embosomed," some of them, "in thick trees," and the short distance to be traversed between the railway station and the senate-house, will all contribute to give success arid picturesque effect to the arrange ments. The Prince was to have arrived at noon, but a subsequent telegram fixes his royal highness's arrival for 1 o'clock, by which time, I have no doubt, all Cambridge, both "gown and town," will have turned out to give the heir apparent to the crown a hearty welcome. The Duke of Manchester's Volunteers, all mounted on highly-bred horses, will make a gallant woort to Trinity College, where the Chancellor, the Vice-Chancellor, the heads of colleges, and the university authorities will receive the Prince in the same manner as they received the Queen on the occasions of her Majesty's visits. There is enor mous pressure on the Vice-Chapoellor for tickets to the quadrangle, a symptom that the repose and solitude of to-day are only the precursors of the crush and enthusiasm of to-morrow. The Senate house, in which the Prince is to be made LLD., has been handaomel7 fitted up ; and here again the demands for admission strain fearfully on the capa bilities of the interior. A number of notabilities will receive their degrees at the same time as the Prince of Wales, and will have the usual oppor tunity of testing their popularity with the junior members of the university, but it is generally be lieved that what bas already happened may 'be taken as conclusive of what is to come, and that neither the Duke of Manchester nor Lord Leigh, nor the Dean of Westminster, will be exposed to ' any hostile demonstrations in the Senate -bowie. In looking through the programme I find that ample employment is provided for the Princess of Wales between their royal highnesses' arrival and bedtime. In the evening their royal highnesses will dine with the Vice-Chancellor in the hall of Peterhouse, and afterwards they will attend a performance of the A. D. C., when, if their royal highnesses wait long enough, they will have the gratification of witnessing the proficiency of the dramatic amateurs in no less than three pieces, and finally will honour the ball at the Museum with their pretence. The price of tickets—two guineas for gentlemen, and one guinea for ladies—indicates that this assembly will be creme de la enfine, but it is not anticipated that it will be inconveniently crowded. There are to be no illuminations in the town, but the electric light will stream from St,. Mary's tower, and will, I have no doubt, have very fine effect.

At daybreak on Wednesday Grant agate unsuc cessfully assaulted Lee's centre and left. After a desperate conflict, lasting throughout the forenoon, the Federals were forced to retreat, with loss of 1,200 killed and wounded. Au attack by Lee is stated to Lave been subse quently made upon Grant's front and repulsed. Johnston continues to draw Sherman sway from his base. Official despatches from the latter, to 2 p.m. yesterday, announce his arrival at Kingston, 70 miles south of Chattanooga, and that he was still advancing, and Johnston retiring. The Federals bad occupied Rome. The surprise against Butler on Monday appears to have been completely successful. The Confede rates captured General Hickman, with nearly his whole brigade and eight or ten cannon, and drove the whole Federal force to their intrenobments at Bermuda. The Federal loss in killed and wounded is admitted to be 2,500. General Ransom com manded the Confederates.

Duruy, Minister of Public Instruction, has presented a report to the Emperor, pointing out the abnormal position occupied by M.

The minister says :—" It is as oontrary to the good administration of the public funds as to the dignity of a distinguished scholar that he should be compelled to submit to the anomaly of receiving salary without fulfilling his functions. Not being able to restore M. Ronan to the chair which be occupied on a single occasion it is ex pedient to loyally terminate the present abnormal state of things by appointing M. Renal' to other functions." In consequence of M. Daruy's report, an imperial decree has been issued appointing M. Ronan Assis tant Curator of the Imperial Library. SPAIN. MADRID, Joys I.

Lastly the peasants who do not assist a deputy when attacked will be brought before a council of war as accom pikes in the crime. "Such," says the &Lair of to-day, " are the measures which the Russian all thority believes necessary to protect the member, of that deputation, who, according to the official journals, were chosen with the utmost free dom by all the peasants of each locality ! These same journals affirmed that to forn, part of this deputation was an honour coveted by all ; that since their return the delegated peasant. had been feted and courted, and that it was a matter of dispute to whom they should relate the impres sions and the marvels of their voyage. And ln here is an official document teaching us that thes e deputies are not even safe in the communes where they dwell, and that there must be a sort of stet, of siege around each of them to prevent their holm* from being burnt, their cattle from being poisoned, and even their lives from being endangered. If we may judge from this official act of the senti ments of the population, it is evident that they are scarcely in unison with the pompous pictures drawn by the Russian journals or the partisans of Russia."

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (nor ODE OWN 001ILLSPONDENT.) PARIS, WEDNESDAY ETZION,;. M. Andre, government candidate, hap been elected by s majority of 3 to 1 for the second vacant seat in the Gard. M. Andre Pasquet, a writer in the Sack, was the opposition candidate. The Moniteur du ioir announces its intention to publish to-morrow a translation of Mr. Gladrtone's pamphlet on electoral reform. The object of such an unusual and curious demonstration in the official journal is doubtless to show that England is a convert to imperial ideas of universal suffrage—of course, with all its consequences. The Constitutiome/ has an inflated and supremely ridiculous article by M. Graudguillot upon the Duke de Morny's speech, in which, among other gross flatteries, it is said that " between the genius and, so to speak, the temperament of M. de Morny and the spirit of modern France there exists an intimate and profound relation." This adulation is accounted for, though not excused, by the fact that the Duke de Morny is M. Graudguillot's patron. When the duke was ambassador at St. Petersburg he found out M. Graniguillot, and being struck with his talent, removed him from the perfectly honourable but not very lucrative or pro minent position in which he was gaining a livelihood, to make him a government writer in the Conatitutiofinel. It is but natural that be should feel grateful to his benefactor ; but the European public, which reads the Coastitationnel, ought to know that his extravagant laudations of M. de Morny—a man who I admit may reason ably be praised in a certain measure—must be taken cum grano. M. Fiorentini, the theatrical critic of the Moniker, the Coruditationosel, and the France, died yesterday, almost suddenly, in the prime of life. He was an Italian, but wrote French with extraordinary elegance and purity. His fiat was held to be of immense value by actors and actresses. Some years since he made an excellent translation of "Dante," for which he received the cross of the Legion of Honour. The last chaisoinesse in France, the Countess de Vitvignes, has just died at the age of 95. Shelves received in 1785 in the chapter of Sallee, in Beau- jolais, where, according to the rules, she must have • proved her eight quarters of nobility. She was allied to the noble families of Sainte-Croix, Se goozac, and Creasy. It is probably now-a-days known to few that under the old French regime a dianoiiteare was a lady in religious orders, but of such a peculiarly mild kind that she was ezabled to go out visiting and indulge in all worldly plea sures. Flirtations with chanoinesses were very common in Paris salons fenipore Louis XV. At the Bourse the Rents left off without change, but Mobilier rose llfr. 25c. The leading feature of the day was a great rise in the Italian Loan, owing to the concession made by the Italian go vernment to the house of Rothschild. The Messager du MiAli states that the Emperor has given orders for the immediate execution of a statue of Marshal Pdlimier, which is to be erected in one of the open spaces crossed by the Boulevard Sebastopol.
