DELEGATE MEETING OF TIIE LONDON TRADES A numerously-attended meeting of delegates from the trade societies of London, convened by the Lon don Working Men's Association, was held last night at the Sussex Hall, Bouverie-street, Fleet-street, Mr. George Potter in the chair, for the purpose of receiving a report from a deputation of the London tailors as to the origin and present position of their dispute with their employers, and to consider the propriety of affording them pecuniary assistance. Amongst the trades represented were the ship wrights, hatters, brass finishers, gas fitters, ship riggers, plasterers, polishers, boot closers, gilders, zinc workers, wire weavers, tin-plate workers, car penters and joiners, painters, bookbinders, masons, compositors (by letter), &c. The CHAIRMAN said the meeting had been called at a few days' notice, and many of the societies who would have sent delegates had not time to issue the circulars. At the adjourned meeting he believed there would not be a trade unrepresented, the ques tion not being simply the support of the tailors on strike, but whether capital should be allowed to beat down trades' unions. (Cheers.) Messrs. Dnuirr and LAWRENCE, who attended as the deputation from the Tailors' Society, then de tailed at length the causes which had led to the pre sent strike, and said while the men were willing to submit the matters in dispute to arbitration, the masters refused it. It was now with them not a question of time or wages, but whether they could crush the union of the men. The committee of the masters were now going round to the shops of those employers not on strike and inducing them to discharge all those workmen who belonged to the union. From this cause during Monday and yesterday a considerable number of men had gone on the funds of the union in addition to those al ready on strike. The committee had now to sup port nearly 3,000 men and women, and therefore increased support from the trades was necessary. (Cries of " It shall be given.") Mr. IlowE, French polisher, moved the following resolution :—" That this meeting of London trade delegates, having heard the statements made by the tailors' deputation as to the cause of the strike, mid that the master tailors have not only refused the offer of arbitration made by the men, but have avowed their determination to, if possible, break up the union of the men, hereby declare it to be the duty of every trade society in the United Kingdom to render prompt pecuniary assistance to the London Opera tive Tailors' Association, to enable it to defeat the intention of the masters, and to continue that assist ance until the present struggle has terminated." The speaker strongly urged the establishment of a general labour league to resist the attacks of capital. Mr. MICKESON (hatter) seconded the resolution. He would pledge the support of his society to the tailors. Mr. Upsall (joiner), Mr. Brown (bookbinder), Mr. Pearson (zinc worker), Mr. Bristow (mason), Mr. Dowling ,(plasterer), Mr. APBride (book binder), Mr. Harris (joiner), and other delegates supported the resolution, several of them stating their societies had granted grants to the tailors. These grants varied in amounts from £3 to £5O. The resolution was adopted unanimously amidst loud cheers, and the meeting was adjourned, each delegate pledging himself to do his utmost in his trade. THE AIISrRIAN REICIISRATH. VIENNA, Tuesday Evening. In to-day's sitting of the Lower House of the Reichsrath the debate upon the Address in reply to the Speech from the Throne was resumed. On the motion that the general debate should be closed speeches were delivered by Herr Von Becke, Minister of Finance, and Baron Von Boyd, Presi dent of the Ministry. The former justified the administration of the finances under the circum stances in which the Government had been placed. He pointed to the 'recently-improved position of the country's finances and the increased receipts from taxation throughout the empire, and announced that the Government had received an offer of a loan of six million of florins at 4 per cent. interest. He assured the house that the principle of the unity of the monarchy in the distribution of taxation would be maintained. Baron Von Beast appeared to the house to give a fair judgment upon the position of the foreign re lations. He declared that Austria's influence and credit abroad could only be regained by the decisive settlement of the understanding with Hungary, and by the introduction of a liberal system in the other p or tions of the monarchy. He stated that the Government did not reject the draft of the Address, but warned the house not to mistrust Hungary, adding that without the eonipromige which had been arranged with that kingdom Austria would not have taken part in the mediation in the Luxemburg question. He strongly complained of the conduct of the Slave population, whose hopes and aims, ho said, could only be satisfiod by open and loyal struggles in the Reichsrath, " The Government and the Reicshrath," he added, " will attentively but benevolently watch any agitation of the public mind proceeding from the interior, but will strictly and severely guard against all agitation from abroad." Baron Von Beust's speech was loudly cheered. The debate on the paragraphs of the Address will commence in this evening's sitting. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET—This Day. The mulct opens with a steady tone.

ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY: —A fatal accident, which should serve as a caution to such railway travellers as are in the habit of getting into car riages while trains are in motion, occurred at the Ealing station of the Great Western Railway on Sunday evening about half-past 9 o'clock. As the Reading up-train, which left that town at half-past eight o'clock, was coming slowly up to the platform at Ealing station, one of the passen gers, a respectable man, about 30 years of ago, being evi dently over-anxious to obtain his seat, attempted to catch hold of ono of the carriage handles. Ho missed his footing and fell beneath the train, ono of the carriage wheels pass ing over his neck and killing him instantaneously. The train was at once stopped, and eo quickly that the second wheel did not pass over the deceased. The carriages wero then disconnected, and the body removed to the Feathers Inn, to await the inquest. The poor fellow was accom panied to the statics by a young woman, who, on witness ing the fearful occurrence, was so overcome that she fainted. It is said that the deceasel held a position in a firm in Drury-lane, and is understood to have left a wife and child. CRYSTAL P ALACE.—The display of fireworks and illumination of fountains postponed until Saturday, in consequence of the wind and rain to-day. The Opera con cert will also take place as announced.

It was an action to recover an amount of mutual insurance, which was due to him by the defendant, through the loss of a ship belonging to him, and which had been insured in the associatim to which defendant belorl,, , ed. The defendant had made eight objec- tions in the demurrer to the declaration ; one was that the plaintiff ought to recover from the manager of the association. Baron Bramwell—But I thought, Mr. Browne, that in the case when the plaintiff demurs to the pleas, and the defendant to the declaration, that the defendant ought to open the case. There is an unanswerable argument adduced by my brother Martin to the effect that if the defendant succeed in his demurrer there is no occasion to go further. Mr. Browne--The practice of the Court of Queen's Bench in cross-demurrers— _ Baron Bramwell—Cross-demurrers are all rub bish. It has always been the custom of this Court to hear the defendant first. _ _ The Lord Chief Baron said that he had consulted the officers of the court, and he found that it had been the custom of the Court to hear the defendant first for the last 15 years. Mr. Mellish, Q.C., then stated that the defendant in this case was a member of an association formed for the purpose of insuring on a principle of mutuality ships against loss at sea. If, at the end of a certain period there were any proceeds from these transactions, they were to be given by the manager to the members of the association ; but in the case of loss the manager could draw upon the members to the amount of £1,500 or less, and they did not honour these drafts he could sue them. In this case the plaintiff had insured his ship (which sailed from Newport on 20th February, 1865, and which was lost) in the association to which the defendant belonged, for £5OO, and he now sued for that amount. The Lord Chief Baron—Has he not sued the other members ? Mr. Mellish—l believe he has, for there are 80 actions altogether. (Laughter.) Now, what we contend is, that, according to the rules of the associa tion, the plaintiff ought to have sued the manager, who had the power to recoup himself by suing the members of the association. The learned coun sel then reviewed the whole rules of the association, which he contended plainly gave all the powers to draw upon members, &c., to the manager, and of being sued from the thus members. e o mb e o ka r l s. l the responsibility Baron Bramwell thought these clubs were con. fined to the north. Mr. Brown—My client has been concerned in four in the west of England. Mr. Mellish said that, in addition to the managers' functions, credit was given, and annual instalments were to be paid, and if this was not enough a bill for two months was to be drawn by the manager, and the bills would not be drawn to the amount of the loss of the plaintiff, but according to the aggregate amount of the losses of the association. In fact, the month's bills were so much credit ; therefore it was most monstrous, as soon as the loss occurred, to come at once upon one individual member of the association. Mr. Browne having argued that his client was not bound to recognise any other party to this mutual insurance except the defendant, The Court gave its judgment in favour of the defendant's demurrer. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. :Sittings at Nisi Prius before Mr. Justice Smitl and a Common Jury.) WILTSHIRE V. HARTNOLL. Mr. Keane, Q.C., and another learned gentleman appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Robinson and Mr. Ford for the defendant. The action was brought fur compensation for goods alleged to have been illegally detained, and the defendant's pleas were that lie was not guilty, mid that the goods were not the property of the plaintiff. _ Mr. Kean stated the case. The plaintiff, Mrs. May Wiltshire, was a widow since 1855, and for some time after the death of her husband, who had been a harness-maker at Devizes, where she carried on the business. She removed first to Romsey, and afterwards to Willow in Hampshire, her son, who was a sailor, sometimes living in the house with her, but not subsequently to 1862. It appeared that there had been some ill feeling between them, and that the plaintiff had brought an action against the son, and that he, by way of reprisal, had her confined as a lunatic in the order of the Lords Justices, she was released in Asylum,discover in Hampshire, in 1865. By an discovered that her son was 'dead, and FtlhBiBa6ht6:rtt°h and the defendant had seized her furniture and clothes, alleging that he had a claim on them by reason of money advanced to her son. Some of the goods were sold by the defendant, others seized for rent by a party named Wild, to whose care they bad been entrusted by the defendant, and the remaining portion she was unable to recover. Amongst the property which the defendant had seized were the whole furniture of a house, clothes, plate, &c., and the plaintiff was placed in a most distressing situation. The plaintiff was examined and cross-examined at great length, and supported the substantial points in her counsel. She stated further that the property was left to her solely, that her sou had no claim on her, and that she had never authorised to dispose of or use her goods in any way. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, and assessed the damages at £lO. MARKETS.—This day. MARK LANE. A very limited supply of English wheat was on sale hero to-day ; yet all kinds moved off slowly, at prices about equal to Monday. The quality of the samples was but middling. Fair supplies of foreign wheat wore reported. The show of samples was, therefore, on the ~.increase. Sales proceeded slowly, at barely late rates for inferior kinds. Floating cargoes of grain were a slow inquiry. Scarcely any barley was on the stands ; prices there fore were firmly supported. Malt sold slowly, at late rates. Oats were quite as dear ae on Monday, with a fair con sumptive demand. Beans, peas, and flour wore unaltered in value. sum ARRIVALS TATS WEEK. Wheat. M a lt. O ats. Flour.

I ADVERTISEMENT.] —Holloway's Ointment and Pills.— Judicious Management.- •Though it is impossible in this climate of changing temperature to prevent ill-health alto gether, yet its form and frequency may be much mitigated by the early adoption of remedial measures. When hoarseness, cough, thick breathing, and the attending slight fever indicate irritation of the throat or chest, Hol loway's Ointment should bo rubbed upon these parts without delay, and his Pills taken in appropriate doses to promote the curative action. No catarrhs or sore throats can resist these remedies. Printed directions envelope every package of Holloway's medicaments, which are suited to all ages and conditions, and to every ordinary disease to which humanity is liable. A day watchman, named C harles M'Leod, saw the prisoner, his wife, and child, all under the in fluence of drink, and acting v !ry extravagantly on board the ship Edith Moore. The day watchman at once suspected something was v-rong, and searched the galley or cook-house on de( k, iu which he found a Libelled bottle three parts full of gin, and a jar with ale in it. lle asked the prisoner, who was ship-keeper of the vessel, how lie came by the gin, and to which he replied, " I bought them at a public-house on shore.," bat could not tell the sign of the house. M'Leod sent for the mate of the ship, who discovered that a case of gin had been forced opeu and plundered and five bottles taken oat. The bottle containing gin in the galley was exactly similar to the bottles in the case, and labelled in a corresponding manner. Two bottles of ale had been taken from a barrel for exportation. Mr. Phget determinei on sending the prisoner for trial, on which the mato said the ship was about sailing. In answer to questions by Mr. Paget, the witness said that cases of gin and other spirits, and barrels of bottled beer, formed part of the cargo of the Edith Moore. Mr. Paget said the prisoner was paid to look after the property on board the Edith Moore, and not to plunder it. The cargo had been broached, and these persons were found on board intoxicated. It was a most dis,graceful proceeding on the part of the prisoner. He sentenced him to be imprisoned for one month, and kept to hard labour, and he was sorry he could not, without inconvenience to others, commit him for trial. WESTMINSTER. THREATENING PROSECUTORS AND WITNESSES. — James Ball, a boy 15 years of age, was charged With entering a shop and stealing some cigars. A little boy, who went to Mrs. Poole's, tobacconist, 30, Marlborough-road, found the prisoner in the shop yesterday afternoon and saw him pocket a handful of cigars. Mrs. Poole came out of her parlour, when the prisoner coolly asked her for a glass of water and then walked out. Mrs. Poole having been infdtmed of the robbery, told the police, when the prisoner was identified and appre hended. Mrs. Poole having stated that she had been shame fully treated by the father of the prisoner, a sum- MODS was served upon'him in Court to appear in stanter. Mrs. Poole said that on leaving the Walton-street police-station she was shamefully abused by the boy's mother, who collected a large crowd of per sons round her, and she was so alarmed that she ,returned to the station for protection. William Gunter, 316 B, proved that after Mrs. Poole returned to the station, he went through the street with her to protect her home. Defendant came up, and the imputations conveyed in the lan guage he used were of the most flagrant and indeli cate description. The father set up a faint denial. Mr. Selfe said his conduct was most disgraceful. If there were one offence more than another that should he punished severely it was insulting or in timidating prosecutors and witnesses. Defendant was fined 40s. or committed for a month. His son was remanded. FALL OF TWO HOUSES IN CLEMENT'S LANE THIS DAY. Much excitement was caused in the neighbour hood of Fleet-street and the Strand by a report that at about half-past 12 o'clock to-day two houses had fallen down in Clement's•lane, and that the accident was attended with serious injuries, if not actual loss of life. From inquiries made we arc in a position to state that the latter part of the report was without foundation, although a policeman who was passing at the time had a narrow escape, and was covered with the dust and debris of the houses. The scene of the accident is near the Carey-street end of the lane, and the houses in question formed a portion of the tottering dwellings, chiefly occupied by lodgers of the humber class, and formed a por tion of those rookeries which are a disgrace to the metropolis, in a sanitary point of view. The wind being very high the early part of the day was most probably the immediate cause of the disaster ; but from the dilapidated state of the houses, such an event was rendered very likely not to be a re mote occurrence, and it is not improbable that a similar fate awaits those crazy tenements which form no portion of the Government contract for the site of the new courts of law. A body of police was promptly on the spot, and with some difficulty prevented the crowd which had assembled from placing themselves in a position of great peril, for the appearance presented by the other houses was of a threatening character, and demands the speedy attention of the proper authorities. FRUSz lA. DEPARTURE OF THE KING FOR PARIS BERLIN, Tuesday Evening. The King of Prussia, after giving a farewell audience to the princes, Ministers, and officers of his staff at the railway station, left at 3.37 p.m. to day for Paris, accompanied by Count Bismarck and Councillor Dohme, besides the other personages previously announced. His Majesty, who will not pass through Hanover on his way, will be met at Verviers by Count Von der Goltz, the Prussian Minister at Paris. The Conference of Ministers from the South German States, held yesterday at the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, lasted two hours and a half. The Alinisters who took part in this Conference leave Berlin to-morrow. They had a second conference with Count Bis marck at half-past 11 this morning. The question of a tariff Parliament was under discussion. The writs for the election of members to the North German Parliament will be issued on the 15th of next month, and the elections will take place at the end of August. The Louisa Order has been conferred upon the Princesss Louis of Hesse-Darmstadt and the Countess of Flanders. The semi-official North German Gazette of this evening says :—" It has been found necessary to extend to the Zollverein, even as regards those countries which still belong to the North German Confederation, the principle introduced in the North German constitution of deciding by a majority of votes questions relating to the customs and to com merce. The conference with South German Minis ters, now being held in Berlin, was called for the purpose of coming to an understanding on this sub ject. It is proposed that the South German popu lations shall send deputies to take part in the deli berations of the North German Parliament upon questions relating to the. Customs. The South Ger man Governments would with the same object send Plenipotentiaries !o the Federal Council." The Banking and Commercial Journal of this evening asserts that an exchange of communications has taken place between the Cabinets of Paris and Berlin with reference to the occupation of Rastadt by Prussian troops. Prussia reserved to herself in principle the right to garrison the fortress by an understanding with the Sovereign ruler of Rastadt, but declared that there was at present no question of taking practical advantage of that right. The same journal adds that France accepted the last, and gave no contradiction to the first portion of the Prussian declaration. ENFRANCHISEMENT OF WO3lEN.—At:a meeting of the committee formed for obtaining the enfranchisement of women, held at No. 83, Mosley-street, Manchester, on Wednesday last, the Rev. S. Alfred Steinthal in the chair, it wax resolved, " That this committee desire to express their grateful recognition of the service which Mr. Mill has rendered in the Mouse of Commons to the cause of the enfranchisement of women, and also its sense of obligation to the 79 members who supported Mr. Mill's amendment, without which household suffrage is still only a name in England." Resolved, "That a copy of this resolution be sent to Air. till, and to each of the members concerned." ASCOT RACES—THIS DAY. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) VISITORS' PLATE.

NOTES FROM TRAINING QUARTERS THIS DAY. horses got out to exercise this morning not only was the weather unfavourable and chilly, but the course was greasy in some places and a bit heavy in others. The Hermit was led a nice long canter, and then a mile and a half steady gallop this morning by Rama, the pair being followed by Knight of the Garter and Blinkhoolie. Hippia galloped a mile and three quarters with Tourmalin and Lo thario ; and Jasper led the Baron's two year olds a mile gallop. Julius merely cantered. Marksman galloped a mile and a half, and Van Amburgh about the same distance, but Vauban did not go quite that length. Achievement, too, merely had a shortean ter. and a mile and a quarter gallop. The Palmer led Arapeile a mile and a half steadily, and Rosicruciau did a mile, but not very fast, appearing to go sonae what stiff, as if all had been taken out of him yes terday. ,Lord Glasgow's couple of big-framed two year olds went over a mile; and so did Audax, the latter led by Cecrops. Tormentor and Regalia did a couple of miles each ; and Douro, Stokeley, Whir ligig, Gomm?, Roquefort, Orme, Miss Harriette, and Dalesman went a similar length. Westwick, Savernake, and S .alskin were also in long wo,",z, Innerdale had a beautiful gallop over a mile, and went splendidly. The same may be Baal of Michael de Basco who is a grand mover. Camel lia attracted considerable attention by the style in which she galloped a mile and a quarter, going first rate. on 1 I 1831 103 1101 i 11 101 THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, 7 o'CLocK. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MIDDLEIIAM. Our Northumberland Plate horses are progress ing as satisfactorily as their best friends can desire. Windham galloped a couple of miles spendidly this morning after cantering freely, but perhaps the stable may trust Fervacques after the Longchamps running, for the latter will have no penalty to carry, and has been most leniently treated by the handi capper with sst 13ib only, nearly three stone less than Windham's impost. Lady Vane is rattling along in rare form, and had a beautiful two mile and a half gallop to-day. Deceit, too, was in nice long work, and moved exceedingly well. The latter, however, may go to Manchester next, for which meeting Bracken, Lady Like, Constant, and a lot of others are receiving the necessary finish here. Harropte was eased a bit this morning, but is quite well. RICHMOND. Olmar has resumed work, but only did a mile and a quarter to-day. Newland and Violet went a couple of miles at a nice steady pace ; and Moldavia took Hawkswell about the same distance. These four horses are looking and going uncom monly well ; they are engaged in the Northumber land Plate. Plaudit has been put by Tar a time. Buchan, Tutel I, Dr. Richardson, and. Shibboleth, are doing nothing at present. Begum, Empress of India, and Sujah Dowlab, are in mile and a half fast work. ASCOT HE A.TH ANNOTATIONS. (FROM OUR SPECIAL SPORTING REPORTER.) The opening day on the royal he ath p assed off with brilliant eclat. The weather, albeit we had one slight shower, was very pleasant. he attend ance turned out to be larger than ever (on an in auguration afternoon), and t he competition was first class, the cream of the cracks of all ages putting in an appearance.

This bill was considered, and ordered to be read a third line. BODMIN RAILWAY BILL. This bill was read a second time. PETITIONS. Sir W. HEATHCOTE presented a petition from Oxford University against the Oxford and Cambridge Universities Education Bill. Mr. PIM presented a petition in favour of the total clos ing of publichouses on Sundays, signed by 239 licensed grocers and spirit dealers of Dublin. Numezous petitions to the same effect were also pre sented. THE BANKRUPTCY BILL, Mr. J. S. MILL gavu notice, on behalf of the hon. member for Tower Hamlets, that on going into committee on tho Bankruptcy Bill he would move that it was unjust to pass a measure by which insolvent persons owing a single debt amounting to £5O, or several debts amounting to £lOO, should bo discharged from liabilities except as regards one half their future earnings, while insolvents owing a less amount would be liable to repeated im prisonments until their debts were paid in full. COURT OF ADMIRALTY. On the motion of Mr. GRAVES a return was ordered of the number of warrants sent by the marshal at the High Court of Admiralty to the collectors of her Majesty's cus toms during seven years prior to 1867, specifying the num ber sent to each port ; and of the number of the warrants executed by the marshal of said court inthe port of London during the same time. OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITIES EDUCATION BILL. Mr. EWART moved the second reading of this bill. Mr. B. HOPE moved that the bill be read a second time that day six months, and characterised it as one of those bewildering measures which, taking up a question which has many sides, deals with it arbitrarily, incompletely, and in a manner more theoretical than practical. The social system of the German universities was not such - as Englishmen would wish to see introduced into our own universities. Ostensibly, the measure was for the benefit of the poor, but practically it would be of no advantage, and would only have the effect of removing students be yond the discipline of the university. While legislating for the poor they should take care that they did nut en courage fast young men of a higher class to place them selves beyond the reach of discipline. Mr. POWELL seconded the amendment, remarking that the bill contained no security for conduct or for age. Mr. NEATE said there was no doubt that the univer sities were originally far more expansive and opened a wider door for the middle and lower classes than now. Recent legislation had confined them to classes for which they were not originally intended. Nothing, however, could be done without a little pressure in Parliament, and even though the bill did not go further than a second reading much good would be done by the expression of opinion of which it had elicited. Ile believed, if the bill was allowed to go to a select committee, a contest between members of this house and the leading mmnbers of the universities would lead to a better understanding between Parliament and the universities. Sir W. HEATIICOTE agreed in many poiuts with the hon. member who had just sat down, but could not arrive at the same conclusions. He concurml iu the desirability cf giving greater facility of access to the under the consideration of many eminent men connected with the Universities, he preferred to wait for,the result ui their de liberations. Mr. EVANS said his own expectations was that the im mediate effect of the bill would not bo very large, but thought, without at all saying whe ther the Universities were national institutions or nut, it was desirable to make them as national as possible. Mr. SELWYN admitted the desirability of extending the present advantages of the Universities, but opposed the present measure as crude and ill-advised. Mr. FAWCETT sugg es ted that the bill s hould be read a second time, and referred to a select committee. By this course they could obtain very valuable evidence, which would assist them in cheapening University. education and making the Universities exercise a more important and beneficial influence than they had done in past ages upon our national life. Mr. LOWE observed that it was time to do something for " poverty" in the Universities, and to extend their ad vantages to those residing without their walls. There had been deliberations upon deliberations, but nothing had been done, and in the meanwhile the evil bad every day become more oppressing. He cordially concurred in the suggestion of Mr. Fawcett to read the bill a second time, and to con sider before a select committee the practical grievances which had to be met, and the remedies which it was nec,es- sary to adopt. Mr. HENLEY asserted that the bill begged the whole question, and took away a re asonable and pro irped. er discipline at the period of life when it was most requ any body moved a committee on the subject he was perfectly prepared to give it his full cons ideration, and come to a decision from what he heard, but ho did not like to pre judge the question. Mr. GLADSTONE cordially assented to the principle of the bill, and said they must rouse themselves to take a broad o f of the question. So far from its not being ripe in point of time, he was apprehensive that unless they now took steps for making sore progress in the universities some two years hence measures might be taken of a more stringent and grasping . character than many of them desired. Re ferring to university vacations, he expressed his belief that they were preposterously long, and trusted that when the general question was dealt with this point would not be left out of consideration. Mr. HARDY remarked that in Dec., 1865, the members of the University of Oxford met for the purpose of consi dering the subject. At that meeting committees were appointed, and their reports were now under considera tion. The question was therefore started by the Uni versity itself. He quite agreed that the University should be opened to the legal and medical professions, and to the mercantile classes, if they could spare the time ; but already halls were open for the admission of such students as might wish to enter. What he objected to in the bill before the house was, that there were no results by which they might be guided, and that the subject was now being deliberated upon by the universities. As to the vacations, in Scotland ho believed they had seven months instead of six. All he asked the house to do was to wait until they saw whether the universities would not act for themselves. After a few remarks from Mr. ACLANO and Mr. Ser geant GASELEE, the house divided, when the numbers were— For the second reading l6l 151 Against The bill was accordingly read a second time, a nd on the motion of Mr. FAWCETT, referred to a Select ommittee.
