Mr. HAMILTON gave notice that, on Monday next, he should present a petition from the Protestants of Ireland, agreed to at a meeting held in Dublin. WINDOW TAX. Sir S. WHALLEY rose to bring forward the motion of which he had given notice, for a repeal of the Window Tax. The Chancellor of the Exchequer could not deny that there was a surplus of two millions ; and as no doubt other Hon. Members would put in their claim for a share of this surplus in the reduction of other taxes, so did he on this occasion, claim on behalf of the inhabitant householders a portion of it in the reduction of the Window Tax. He could not but recollect with much gratification that when he brought forward a similar motion to the present in 1833 one hundred and thirty-seven Members voted in its favour, and of those who so voted only seventeen were displaced at the subsequent general election by their constituents. This proved that there was no fickleness in the constituency of the country, and that they never deserted their repre sentative until he deserted those principles which first re commended him to their choice, and by thus receding from all the professed principles of his early life, and deserting the cause of the people, made himself a melancholy spectacle in his latter days.—( Ministerial cheers.) For himself, he hoped that be should never be placed in so humiliating a condi tion. There was one good effect that must follow the re peal of the window tax, independently of the pecuniary relief which it would afford to the householder—namely, that it would tend greatly to extend the elective franchise, and the number of the constituency of the country. He knew there were many other claims for reduction besides this, hut he was sure none would produce more benefit. One Hon. Member would wish to reduce the penny stamp on newspapers ; another the duty on tobacco ; a third the duty 6n soap ; and the Hon. Member for Limerick would claim the reduction of the duty on window-glass. It was proper that every proposition of this nature should be brought forward, before the plan of the Chancellor of the Exchequer was irrevocably fixed. He felt quite certain that the Chancellor of the Exchequer was as anxious as he was to relieve the burdens of the people when he thought he could do so, and there could not be a better opportu nity than the present occasion. A general election was now approaching, and it was therefore the more necessary that every means should be used to increase the number of the constituency in the country, which the removal of this tax would have the effect of doing. There was no tax at pre sent paid by the middle classes, that was so objectionable as the window tax. Very little relief had been given to small houses by the repeal of the house tax. It was the large houses alone that benefitted by the removal of that tax. The Hon. Member concluded by moving as a reso lution—" That it is the opinion of this House that the window tax ought to be repealed." Mr. HUME having seconded the motion, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER did not think the Hon. Member who brought forward the present motion could have given any serious consideration to the subject, or he would never have made such a proposition as that a reduction of 1,200,0001:should be made in the revenue of the country without knowing what amount of surplus there would be after meeting the national expen diture. There were many other claims for the reduction of taxation which he considered more pressing, if there did really exist a surplus, than the claim of the Hon. Gentle man. There was, for instance, a motion to be brought for ward in a few days for the reduction of the duty on cotton. The Hon. Gentleman had, as an inducement to support his motion, given the House a piece of information which was usually communicated to it in a Speech from the Throne.— (A laugh.) He had told them that there was to be an immediate dissolution of Parliament. Now he should really wish to have some other authority for this im portant fact before he gave it implicit credence than the Honourable Member for Marylebone. But if it were true, and that Parliament was on the eve of a dissolution, he was sure there was not a Member of that House who would vote on this or any other subject otherwise than as his judgment dictated, for the sake of catching a little fleeting popularity.—(Cheers.) The Hon. Gentleman would find when the public accounts were made up to the sth of April, 1817, that there would not be a surplus revenue over expenditure to the amount of the tax which the Hon. MAnber proposed to repeal. He considered that it Was.the productive classes of this country that had the best claim to the application of any surplus that could be afforded to relieve the pressure of taxation. Out oA 2,800,000 houses there were only 377,000 that contributed to the Window Tax ; so that there were nearly 2,400,000 houses not at all affected by it. The Hon. Member would have a much better opportunity of pressing the repeal of this Tax than the present mode when the Budget should be brought forward. The Hon. Member could then move, as an amendment to any proposition which he (the Chan cellor of the Exchequer) might make, that the Window Tax be repealed. At present he should meet the proposition of the Hon. Gentleman with a distinct negative. Captain PECH ELL supported the motion. The mo tion did not go directly to the repeal of the Tax, but merely declared that it would be expedient to repeal it.— (A laugh.) Would the Chancellor of the Exchequer give any hope as to houses that were to be built ',—(A laugh.) Mr. FORSTER recommended that the taxes on internal communication, such as the post-horse duty, and others, should be repealed, in preference to this. ThO House divided — For the motion Against it Majority against the motion —lsB LONGFORD ELECTION. Lord CLIVE appeared at the bar with the report of the Committee appointed to try the petitions complaining of an undue return in the case of the late election for the county of Longford. The report declared Luke White, Esq., not duly elected, and that Charles Fox, Esq., was, and ought to have been returned. The Committee also found the pe titions not frivolous or, vexatious, and that Henry Lynch and .Latries Sheridan were not entitled to vote_ at the said election. The report having been laid upon the table, Lord CLIVE said the Committee had felt it their duty to make a special report also. This report was also read. It stated that it would be desirable to have some declaratory Act passed by the Le gislature to secure greater uniformity of decision, and clearness in the law in questions relating to the contested electio ns f or the count i es i n I re l an d . It recommended that the Hou se s h ou ld come to a d ec i sion on the question; whe ther th e ' registry, as prepare d b y the Assistant Barrister, vas to be final, or whether it ,was to remain open to en quiry by a Committee of that House. The Committee also suggested th a t th e na ture and th e amount of the fran chise giving a right to vote at elections for, the counties in Ireland may be so clearly defined and determined as tg Mr. W. WYNN, who said the House was bound by kw to decide first on the question that the Clerk of the Cron be ordered to attend. Mr. HUME wished to know whether the debate on the question that the Clerk of the Ciown be ordered to attend might not be adjourned ? His Hon. Friend (Mr. Grattan) might in that case give notice of his resolution now. The SPEAKER said that the House was bound to de cide now upon the question that the Clerk of the Crown be ordered to attend. After a few words from Sir J. I'Vrottesley, Mr. W. Wynn, Mr. Grattan, and Sir G. Clerk, Mr. H. GRATTAN wished to know whether the mi nutes of evidence, taken before the Committee, were printed ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that they could not be printCd without an Order of the House, and there was no order to that effect. His Ho nourable Friend might give notice of a motion to that effect if he pleased. Mr. S. O'BRIEN wished to know what was the next step to be taken after the Clerk of the Crown had amended the return. Were the names of voters to be struck off the Registry ? The SPEAKER, when he saw the report, and had time to consider it, would be able to judge whether there was any particular matter in it on which he might feel himself called upon to act. Mr. MOSTYN would take a future opportunity of moving that some names be struck off the registry. Mr. HALL said the Committee had come to a decision not to take further steps as regarded the registry, but to leave the matter to the Speaker. At the same time they recommended a special report, to prevent, as far as possible, similar inconveniences and difficulties in future. Here the conversation dropped, and the Clerk of the Crown was ordered to attend to-morrow, to amend the return. THE UNIVERSITIES. Mr. PRYME then rose to move, pursuant to notice, for " An Address to his Majesty for the appointment of a Com mission to inquire into the state of the Universities of Ox ford and Cambridge, and the respective Colleges therein." The Hon. Gentleman complained of the great powers vested in the caput of each of the Universities, and stated that in the election of the Vice-Chancellor by the heads of Colleges .the choice of that officer was open to bias, owing to the pre valence of high political feeling in the Universities ; and that an instance of the kind had lately happened at Cambridge, where the Master of a College had been objected to as unfit to fill the office of Vice-Chancellor, solely because he differed in politics from the rest of the heads of houses. With regard to the revenues of the Universities, the persons appointed to audit the accounts connected with them, at the end of each year, were formerly appointed by the body at large ; whereas one of them was now chosen by the Vice-Chancellor going out, and the other by the . Vice-Chancellor coming in.— (Hear.) Since the discussion of last year he was happy to say that, with regard to Dissenters, the University of Cam bridge had given them greater concessions than they for merly possessed.—( Hear.) But a very few years ago, when the fourth wrangler chanced to be a Quaker, he was not allowed his degree, though he had gained almost the highest honours of his year.--(Hear, hear.) Last year the second wrangler was a Jew, who could not be admitted to a degree ; and, under such circumstances, he thought it was high time a Commission should be appointed to inquire into the system, and to enable persons like those lie had had named to remain at the University, and receive the honours and emoluments to which an improved state of things would entitle them.—(Hear, hear.) Again, mem bers of the University were obliged to take a great number of oaths ; but he would ask the House was it just that they should be compelled to take oaths to do what, at the time of taking them, they knew they never could do ? (Hear, hear.) He objected to the plan recommended in a series of articles in the Edinburgh Review upon this subject, and preferred having a Commission at once. The Hon. Member then alluded to the violatiOn of the statutes, of which the Universities themselves were guilty in the manner in which the Masters of Arts were admitted to that degree, as well as in the distribution and arrangement of the Fel lowships, and cited the case of Professor Inman as one of, great injustice, that gentleman having waited from year to to. year without having been able to obtain the Fellowship to which he was by his eminent talents so justly entitled. The Hon. Gentleman then complained of the expenses which poor students were obliged to be at in private tutors, owing to the imperfect and abstruse manner in which the public lectures of the University of Cambridge (with which he was more fully acquainted) were conducted. There was a considerable wish for improvement in the Universities. His advocacy of this question was not in the spirit of hosti lity but of friendliness. Almost the whole of his life had been spent within the Walls 04 the Uni% ersities ; and it was his attachment to their interests that made him now come forward.—(Cheers.) The Hon. Member concluded by making his motion. Mr. E. L. BUL WER said the question was now nar rowed to the consideration whether, after all the other Cor porations in the kingdom had been subjected to the reform ing control of Parliament, these Corporations, the Univer sities, should now be excluded. He had no hesitation what ever in answering this question in the negative. It must be borne in mind that the Universities subsisted long before the Colleges came into existence. 'rhc pupils resided in the neighbourhood of the University, that they might re -ceive from it the benefit of public. lectures and degrees. The Colleges then sprung up, under the influence of that passion for scholastic information which first broke out towards the close of the eleventh century, and reached its height of ardour in the twelfth. The great influx of students to th e U n i vers iti es t h en first induced charitable persons to found lodging houses for poor - scholars, and in course of time to superadd the benefits of board and pecu niary allowance. It then became necessary to subject the pupils to some control, arid at each of the houses, there fore, a graduate was appointed to preside. Thus it was that they gradually grew to be Colloges. But as the pupils became more numerous, and the houses from many cir cumstances less so, other lodging-houses were established, which were called halls, or inns, as the case might be. For although now no new College could be established, unless with the previous sanction of the Chancellor, at that period it was but necessary fur a few youthi'to as semble together, for the purposes he bad already stated, and straightway a house was formed ; nor was there then any power to prevent the existence of those halls. At teat time, too, no religious test whatever was imposed ; and, owing to the great competition between the Colleges, the expenses were much less then than now. The University then was a national institution. The causes which, herped to the subsequent usurpation, and had ultimately biought about the present monopoly, were numerous, and of nearly a concurrent effect. Among them were the civil wars, ti, Reform.ition, the Aolition of the monasteries (for as the monasteries had decayed tha scculdir Colleges had in creased) ; and, moreover, every difficulty' was thrown in the way of the establishment of new Colleges, until at last, under the Chancellorship of Leicester, a statute was passed by which no new College could be raised, except with the sanction of the Chancellor for the time being. Thus it was that the Universities were, as it were, stolen from the n r tion, and put into the hands of the beads of Colleges. At this time first it was that the principle of religious exclu sions was adopted, and closely upon it followed the sequel of the revolution that had thus been effected in the con stitution of the Universities.—(Hear, hear, hear.) At first the government of these bodies were almost de mocratic. There was a house of congregation, composed of one class of residents, and a house of convocation, com posed of all the resident members of the University. But, when the Colleges were established, it was thought desirable to have College, not University legislation. He hoped lie had now shown that the Universities and the Colleges were totally distinct in their nature and origin —that while the. one were great national institutions, for the dissemination of knowledge, the others were established as mere places of convenience. So completely was this the case, that if the Colleges were sunk into the Cam and Isis to•morrow, the Universities would still remain intact in their existence ; and that if - the laws of those Colleges were to be in- ins anti y rogated, the iVersities litsistagai .n become" sub'ec o th e centre f their own`y aspular assemblies,: a ually open to religious persua Hear t bear.). also thought th a t hi s H on. and L s.Frieesd bade not sufficiently gone into the grievances OlktitosnieethntestlisC The great distinction between Oxford and Cambridge was, that at the former the 39 articles were required to be sub-. ctibed to on matriculation, while at the latter they were sworn to only before taking a degree.—(Hear, hear.) Now what evil bad occurred at Cambridge from this latitude ? On the contrary much benefit would accrue from the ceremony Of an oath being done away with, now that the substantive part of it was no more heeded ; for who could conscientiously say that he had fairly tested his own belief before subscribing to those articles of faith ? The going through a form so solemn without a corresponding solemnity of sentiment was but calling on the Creator to witness with what a shameless levity a pojury would be accompanied.—(H ear , Lear.) The object, no doubt, was to keep the Disscntors out. The plea was, that it they were admitted they would interfere with the reli gious tuition of the place. But both Blackstone and Mansfield had laid it down incontestably that these in stitutions were secular, not religious, corporations. All the tuition, too, taught in them was a knowledge of the heathen mythology. The highest academic honours, the fellowships, the livings, nay, the bishoprics—all were conferred upon men whose chief claim to distinction in all probability lay in their intimate knowledge of the reli gions of antiquity, or their critical profundity in editing a Greek play ; a paper or two on Paley, tins shallowest of all theologians ; or an essay on the New Testament, showing no more acquaintance with its spirit than what a schoolboy would be ashamed of, were a sufficient passport to Uni versity honours, to the utter neglect of all that glorious li terature produced by the English Protestant divines. The Hon. Gentleman concluded by seconding the motion. Mr. POULTER would be the last to deny the power of the sovereign authority in the State to interfere for the correction of any and every acknowledged abuse without be ing followed in the slightest degree by any oaths imposed by the heads of the Universities. But he by no means ad mitted that there h a d b een prove d a b uses su ffi c i ent tojus tify so hostile a demonstration as would be intimated by the issuing of this Commission- e -a Cominission having the right of searching into all the transactions of the Universi ties—of inquiring into the appropriation of their funds : armed, in short, with a degree of authority only justifiable . : in such an extreme case o f a b use as absolute for actual inter ference. He thought that a great error which assumed that the original intent of the founders was not exemplified in the present disposal of the benefits of the colleges. The original word paupercs could by no means be said to mean the modern term " pauper." An Hon. MEMBER—But it does mean poor. Mr. POUL'rER—Aye, in the sense now given to it as regarded the class of persons who now enjoyed the bene fits of the Universities. He contended that the present holders of livings and fellowships were to be looked at in the light originally of the " poor students " designed by the founders to be benefitted. With regard to residence, no doubt that was required by the founders, but why ? Be cause the existing circumstances in some way demanded it. Sonic reforms were most desirable, certainly. Among _others, he thought the disqualification of marriage very im politic—it was opposed to a great natural principle.—{A laugh.) That of property also might advantageously be modified. He considered •this motion so hostile to the Universities that he could not agree to vote for it.—(Hear.) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was but justice to his Hon. Friend who had introduced the present motion to say this, and to cast aside any such supposition. His Hon. Friend had stated that the main point to be considered was, whether the Universities of the land were or were not national establishments, into which it was competent for the House to inquire. Now, he would be sorry to think that in any assembly of sane persons it could be attempted to be denied' that these were national establishments, into which, upon a proper • and sufficient case being made out, the House was com petent to inquire. Now he would say that when a case of inquiry was made out, the right of inquiry could not be denied. Let them, for instance, take one of the most important statutes of the University, the 18th of Elizabeth, chap. 6. That statute it was which reserved one-third of • the corn rents to those Universities, and preserved to the Universities those means by which they were enabled at the present day to promote the benefit of society. Now, when this was the case, would any one attempt to say that the Legislature, which had originally granted these funds, had not a right to inquire into their application ? He need only refer to the Scotch Commission to show that when a sufficient case was made out, and a demand made for a re medy of a legislative kind, they bad exercised the right to make an inquiry, which might form the basis of such a re medy. To deny such a right would be giving the power of action without the power of deliberation. It would be de priving them of the elements of legislation, and leaving them the power to legislate. He had never spoken of those Uuiversities but with respect—that respect to which they were entitled.—(Hear, hear.) But surely it could not be denied that those impr9vements which had been conferred on every Custom-house in the country, for ins'aince, with re spect to oaths, :hotly: be withheld front the Universities. The Hon. Member fcr Lincoln had•said that the- motion, before the House involved the admission of Dissenters to the Universities ; but supposing the Dissenters admitted that there would still remain much that would furnish subjects of inquiry. With respect to the oaths taken by the graduates, surely there was sufficient subject for improvement. He (the ,Chancellor s of the Exchequer).was sure than any inquiry which could be instituted would redound to the credit of the Uni- - versities, and free all parties interested from the possibility of misrepresentation or reproach. He could not agree in the opinion that a motion for inquiry could be considered a hos tile motion. The Hon. Member for Lincoln had de scribed a state of things whicli'might h ave b een true i n hi s (the Chancellor of the Exchequ e r' s ) time, but did not apply at present ; for as a frequent visitor of the University to which he belonged he could say that in nothing had so great an improvement taken place as in the state of religious in struction ; and the observations that had been made on that point were just asinapplicable to the present state of things as the quotations which had been made from Gibbon. —( Hear.) The lion. Member who had referred to this part of the subject had talked of Paley as the most shallow of all theologians. lie (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) knew that there had recently sprung up a race of transcen dental Gentlemen, who saw nothing good in the doctrines to which they had been accustomed.—(Hear, hear, hear.) For his part he preferred the English to the German school, and lie did not wish to see censure cast upon such a man as Dr. Parey.—( Hear.) He wished that he could ap peal to Dr. Paley, for, from all he had laid town, he was sure that there would be none found readier to remedy abuses, or to assist in improving anything that was found defective in those institutions. With respect to the motion itself, lie thought it better to leave to the Crown the exer cise of its'own sense of duty. He certainly thought, that the interference of that house was not the best way to render such an inquiry effective ; and he therefore confi dently trusted that his Hon. Friend would withdraw his motion. Mr. GOULBURN thought his Majesty's Government, in opposing this motion, did no more than their duty. They were the guardians in, their official capacities of the rights and interests of these Universities. He would not now discuss the question as to the right of inquiring into these Universities. With respect to such inquiry the Govern ment of the country would, of course, act upon their own responsibility ; and he presumed they would act upon that responsibility in conformity with the law of the land. He was sure that no Government would violate charters granted by the Crown, affirmed by Acts of Parliament, and which stood on an ancient .and stable basis of long-established right, which could not be shaken. He was sure that they would not only prevent those rights from invasion, but look with favour upon the efforts they made to discharge the duties with which they were entrusted. The Hon. Mem ber who brought forward this motion had said that no in tention existed to cast any imputation on those bodies ; but surely the Hon. Member would not say that this furnished a ground for instituting such an inquiry as this.—(Hear.) He contended that such an inquiry would lead 'to grout in convenience, and a very unprofitable occupation of the time of these learned bodies, which would otherwise be better and more beneficially devoted. Besides there was the like lihood that those who were ignorant of the statutes by which tiley Ivoic governed 7., ou)d be the fiist to Laing up wai l:Lints orising out of their very ignotaneo of these statutes. His Right lion. Friend had said that it ought to lie a source of congratulation to the Uriversities that an inquiry was proposed. Did he mean that there was the same legal power in the Crown to inquire into the state of the English Universities as existed when the Scotch Commission was issued ? Was he not aware that the circumstances of the the two cases were widely different ? It had been charged against the Universities by the Honourable Member who opened the debate that they had not accommodated themselves to the changes of the times, but had persisted in their former system of discipline and government. What mode of curing this defect had the Hon. Gentle man proposed ? Why, nothing less than to go back to still older statutes than those now complained of ; and thus he would remedy the to 9 strict observance of old, and, as he imagines, useless, statutes, by paying great attention to still more antiquated ones. The lion. Member and his Right lion. Friend opposite had expressed their opinion that there existed a necessity for modifying the oaths now required by the Universities. They also stated, what *was perfectly true, that those statutes requiring oaths which were on subjects not considered material ought to be altered. It was advanced, besides, that declarations ought to be substituted for oaths, and that this substitu tion had taken place with respect to Custom-bouse and parochial officers.
