" —(Cries of " That will to quite segicieVt.") The Repwrt was then received and adopted.-- The f.! ti Resolution prapncitql was out expressive of the confidence of the &leeting in the isberirlity of the two Univerritiri.

Mr. Hoer: then oppnser! the Resolution, expres sive of cootideure its the Universities. lie con. denoted iis proper terms the selection which hail hero made in these possecutions, and which merely affected the most delenceless class of society. He then took a review of the rights of the Universities of Oxford sod Cambridge. and drew a strong distivetion between them antl those of the King's Putentee. He disclaimed touching upon patent ar prescriptive rights, but he contend edthat the closest attention should be paid to their Operation to prevent their lapse into Irre gularities they were never intended to countermove. 'Flue effect of the establishment of the present right contended for would be the otter exclusioo of that useful inforinatiots which certain classes of the peo ple at large derived from the distribution of the Script ores in numbers—many rend the Bible *tit that way, who otherwise had no means of reading it. Surely it was Important that this beach tit information should not be cut off from that efts. , of society which stood most in need of it, told who had no other means of obtaining its benefits. He would not concur its ally vote of thinks or con& deoce to the Universities in the way in wh.r•lt it was at present proposed, and in the absence of all errangement respecting the real business of the Alerting. Mr. MAXWt LE. adduced, ns a proof of the liberal view of the Universities, that when Mr. Dartott. jun. was prosecuted. instead of going to the Siilt eitor for the prosecution he went at once to '.its Vice-Chancellor of Cambridge, who declared that no authority had beet' given for the prosecution by that University, and at once gave an order for the suspensiott of all further proceedings. Mr. Mawstaat rose to explain stone matters re specting the University privileges which did oil appear to be well understood—they were of a rld ferent nature, in point of extent, from throw of the Koig's Printer.
