"THE i.INNtiRS." • On Monday, In 3 vo's., H E M I E 'MILLAR A SCOFTISH STORY. I MPE 11l PARLIAMENT. sight of the n o bl e ear l had suggested had.now (marred. The establishment of such a boated as the noble earl con templated could not be effected at a time like :the pre sent without serious detriment 'to the service ; but, even were it otherwise, he 'doubted 'whether such a change would be expedient. 'Boards in many eases were mere expedients for shifting off responsibility. It was admitted that a civilian .should 'have, the . ad ministration of the army, and of course lie would 'be at the head of that' board, with military officers for his col leagues. He could not belieVe that this would be any improvement upon the present system ; and he asked whether the,civil head of the bdard, who would feces . - "sarily be a political officer, ought to have the patronage of the army'? Should it be devolved upon the junior. lords ? He thought neither of these would be endured. In conclusion, he repeated, on the part of the‘Govern ment, that they-did not - condemn all alteration in' the existing system, but they deprecated changes at the present moment, which might put the whole machine out ofgear,'.and lead ts serious inconvenience. Lord HARDINGE said that at the time referred to by the noble earl (Grey), in connection with the affairs of Sierra Leone, the late Duke of Welling-ten was Master- General of the Ordnance ; and it, was not for two years after these circumstances that the noble duke under took the management of the colonial barracks ; there fore the noble duke had nothing whatever to say to those matters to which the .noble earl- had referred. It was not his intention to go into the general question, as holding the office he did, he was of opinion it would be more consistent - in him not to interfere. However, he might say it was generally understood that the Colo nial Secretary' was as deeply responsible for the'safety of our colonial empire as °the Home Secretary was for the United Kingdom. He should, say it would 'be a Matter of regret to him to see th e S ecre t ary a t W a r performing the duties now attaching to the office of Secretary for the Colonies. Their lordships might re member the occasion on which it was believed the Char tists would attempt a march through London. Orr that occasion every arrangement was made which .could possibly insure tranquillity, and made with such preci sion that exery, person was struck with them, and be lieved them almost marvellous. He asked, of what use would be the Home Secretary, or a fourth secre tary, on such an occasion ? If the Secretary were stripped of his present responsibility, his power would be very much weakened. Ho (Lord Hardinge) had, within the last two months, conducted the movements of the troops, and had frequent interviews with his noble friend the Colonial Secretary ; and he should say he found no difficulty whatever in the matter —no disagreements or squabbles, but everything going on harmoniously. There might be alterations and improvements required in the inferior departments ; but if their lordships attempted to limit too much the autho rity and power of the commander-in.-chief in the manage ment of the troops, they would shake discipline in such a manner as to render it very difficult to enforce the necessary authority. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH expressed to Earl Grey his obligations for bringing this question before the house. It involved the lives of thousands, the effi_ ciency of the army, the greatest interests of the state, and the honour of the country ; and he should say, i f their lordships were not prepared to come to a con sideration of this important matter on the present occa_ sion, it was absolutely necessary that an early period after the Easter recess the whole question of the naval and military preparations of the country, the position in which we now ,stood, and the manner by which these naval and military forces were to be directed, should he brought under, consideration. He considered that the military should be entirely subordinate to the civil authorities. He thought the most convenient ar rangement for the public would be, that the general direction of the war should rest with the First Lord of the Treasury himself. (A laugh.) There might be circumstances "which would render that inconvenient at the present time—(renewed laughter) ; and knowing that no man did well the thing he hated—that, whatever might be his general abilities, directed, as they would be, for the first time, towards war—he (the noble earl) . could not but apprehend it was just possible that the war would not be successful. (Hear, hear.) He firmly believed there was no other arrangement that wouldgive . us real security—no other arrangement which would secure that despatch so necessary to the success of mili tary operations. The struggle s o which we were now engaged was a g rea t one . He tlNught the people of this country would be called upon to make very great sacri fices. Under the pressure of these great sacrifices—it might be great sufferings—enthusiasm might not continue in the prosecution of the war. It was a war of far-sighted po licy,. a statesman war, which the people of this country did not understand ; and unless that war was well managed , and conducted, presenting from time to time examples of success, deeds of high achievement, and a' decided progress towards the prostration of the enemy, it would be perfeetly,impossible for any Govern ment to continue its prosecution. (Hear, hear.) He, therefore; earnestly prayed the Government to consider the means by which this was- was to be conducted. He thought it was impossible to conduct it with success while it was directed by departments which might con flict with each other in reference to the arrangements. The war could only be properly conducted by the one department with undivided responsibility, and armed with almost undivided power. Unless the Government took the course which he suggested, they might depend upon it that, whatever might be their present strength in parliarneht and in the country, they would fail in overcoming the difficulties they were surrounded with. The country would not bear defeat or mismanagement ; and the Government thatl mismanaged a war would be put out by the indignation of the naval and military services, and the general disappointment of the people.

Lord CAMPBELL laid on the table a bill to prevent any, unauthorised negotiation or intercourse touching public affairs, between the subjects of her Majesty and any foreign potentate or state. The noble and learned lord explained that the object of the bill was to enforce the law of nations, which clearly provided that inter course between independent nations, respecting public affairs, shoUld only be conducted through the Govern ment or an ambassador, or .minister duly authorised for that purpose, and who was responsible for his ad vice. (Hear, hear.)

OXFORD UNIVEtISITY BILL. , • ;On the motion for the second reading of. this bill, Sir W. HEAISCOTE wished to explain the vote which he intended to give in favour of this bill. It would be absurd in him if he were to shut his eyes 'to 'the necessity which was generally felt fora bill of this nature. It had I been framed in no un f r i en d ly spiri t , and since he did not dispute the soundness of its principle he should reserve for the committee on the bill 'such changes and amend ments as he was anxious to see made in its provisions. It was quite clear from what he had said ho must vote for the second reading"; all the objections ,he had urged should be 'reserved for the committee. His objections to the bill were not to its principle, but to what appeared to him to be erroneous applications of . the principle.. The ' great question, he observed, was, whether the enactments should be compulsory or enabling. It was evident that, with reference to the university, they:musti be compulsory, and with regard to certain of the colleges ;they must like wise be compulsory, or they would be nug4tory. He then discussed some of the details of the bill, and objected par ticularly to the manner in which the foundations connected with'schools were dealt with, - and to the way in which the property of colleges wits to be diverted to the purposes of the university..• Mr. BYNG believed very few persons either in the house or country. would deny that some alteration was re quired in the management of Oxford University. He believed, the university could do no better than by cordially 6-operating with her Majesty in effecting the reforms con templated by this bill. (Hear, hear.) While sincerely devoted to the ritual of the Established Church, he still felt a hope that reforms might be introduced into the university, and that some means might be adopted by which 5,000,000 of his fellow-countrymen, he meant the Protestant Dissenters, might be admitted t.) the honours of the. university. (Cheers.) With those feelings he Cor dially hoped that this bill would speedily pass into a law. (Hear, hear.) Sir J. PAKINGTON said he had, after mature con ' sideration, determined not to oppose the second reading of this bill, `reserving to himself to propose such amendments as seemed to him desirable when the bill was in committee. He did - not deny that he was aware there were naanygroimds for reform in some of the halls of Oxford University ; but, at the same time it was a subject that ought to- be ap proached by the Government in a spirit of .conciliation. (Hear.) With respect to the members of the commis shin, there were two, the Bishop of Ripon and Mr. Jus tice Coleridge. (Hear, hear.) The principle of the bill, instead of being simple and uniform, was complicated and contradictory. From fist to last it proceeded upon an unmerited, and therefore an unjust, distrust of every uni versity authority ; but its worst feature was its violation of the rights of property, by interfering. with the disposi tions made by founders of colleges. He wished the bill had been drawn more in the shape of an enabling bill, without the appointment of a commission armed with powers so arbitrary, which would override the University authorities. He objected to the constitution alll mode of election of the new governing body—the Hebdomadal Council. If the three constituent elements of this council were chosen by their respective constituencies—the heads of houses by their own body, the professors by the pro fessors, and the general members of the University by the Convocation—the change would be, he said, far more satisfactory to the lYniversity. Sir John thou explained in detail his objections to the provisions of the bill with relation - to foundations, fellowships, and emolu ments, which he- characterised as invasions of; the rights of property and as frustrating the intentions iof testators, although the pteamble of this very, bill recogeised the ex pediency- of "promoting the main design If founders." He, more o ve r , con t ras t e d the ' provisions with a speech de livered in 1830 by Mr. Gladstone, whose name was en the back of the bill. In conclusion, he put it to Lord J. Rus sell whether it would not be better to frame ,the bill in a spirit of conciliation, that he . might carry this University with him, instead of leading the majority to think that their feelings were outraged. . (tfear, bear.) Mr. BLA.CKETT 'acknowledged the grea service to academical ref o r m ren d ere d b y the appoint cent of the Royal Commission. But he complained that if measure fell lamentably s h or t o f th e recommendations iof that com mission. The evils of the University were th absorption of government by the heads of the college, and the absorp tion' of education by the tutors, and a larger measure was required to deal with the subject. The bill hid been pre pared on a principle very difficult to understand, and what was given by the right hand was withdrawn by the left. Mr. R. PHILLIMORE congratulated Lord John Rus sell upon the general aceeptatien the measure had. met with, contended that the objections to it were chiefly such as could be dealt with in committee, and at great length advocated the bill. Mr. WARNER approved of the measure, but regretted that oaths and subscriptions had not been donel away. Lord It. CECIL condemned the bill, and regretted that it was not to be opposed at that stage.- It was: an unjusti fiable interference with the wishes of founders,, and calcu lated to prevent future endowments. Mr: VERNON supported the bill, and wail glad that the measure m a t er i a ll y differed fronalhe recosimendation of the commission. He thought that the tntoial system ought to be maint a i ne d, an d th a t no t much would be done in the way of university extension by means of this mea sure, but that the best guarantee for such extension would be found in the improved character of the university itself. He desired the abolition of religious tests, and:was aberse to these institutions being mere literary forcing beds, but wished them made available for the promotion: of the high est form of culture, and for the education of the national clergy. . Mr. WIGRAM repeated that the proposed congregation would be so la rge th a t it would be broken into factions, and the result be injurious to the cause of learning. He also objected that the tendency of the general provisions of the bill went to depreciate and to break down that colle giate system which had hitherto been the characteristic of English, as opposed to that of foreign universities ; a sys tem which he believed to be the very best that could be devised. And he also objected to the contemplated whole sale abolition of preferences, and to , the clauses limiting the tenure of scholarships. He considered that the bill attempted to go into details far more than was desirable, and a more sweeping measure, giving larger powers to the colleges, to be worked out under the commission, to have been much better. Mr. ROUNDELL PALMER, in answer to objections to the interference with founders' intentions, showed that the proposed changes would actually carry ont, in many cases, those intentions, and would conduce to do so in others, by sweeping away obstructive legal interpretations and quibbles which had prevailed in courts of law. He illustrated this argument by various instances of abuses, and then showed that these could not be remedied by mere enacting powers. M oreover, th e l eg i s l ature once celled in, it could not decline to deal with the subject in a largo way, and on a public principle. There should be com pulsory powers during a limited and definite time ; but these should be exercised in a conservative manner. He believed that the bill was framed with a bona tile in tention of carrying out its preamble, and h e s h ou ld there fore supp or t it. He suggested that the fear lest the con gregation should have a parliamentary character, might be obviated by the debates being carried on in Latin. He warmly contended for the preservation of the connection between our great schools and the University, and espe cially vindicated the character of the foundation of William of Wykeham. After adverting to some of the other details of the bill, he concluded a speech of considerabM length by tendering his thanks to the Government for the spirit iu which they had dealt with the subject. Mr. HENLEY, in commenting upon the details, ob jected that the localities whose preferences were to be taken away ought to be heard as to their satisfaction with the change; and he also condemned confiscation for the establishment of professorships, He defended the heads of Louses, against whom an unjustifiable feeling had been got up, and upon whom the bill sought Co cast a slur. Mr. Palmer's proposal for Latin speeches would make congregation an cater ego of convoca tion. He disliked so much in the measure, that it was only the consid era ti on th at legislation ought to take place at once that prevented his taking a vote on the second reading. The fate of the bill must, however, depend upon whether the Government would abstain from resisting rea sonable amendments. He complained that Lord J. Rus sell and the Chancellor of the Exchequer were directly opposed to the admission of dissenters to the nniversities, and there was no hope of carrying out the objects of the Government unless the latter were agreed as to what edu cation should he given. • He concluded with a eulogy on the old university system, and an expression of apprehen-, sion lest the now system should produce far less satisfac tory results. • Mr. GOULBURN intended to give his support to the second reeding of this bill, considering the argument of• Mr. Palmer to be unanswerable ; but there were, he said, three proYisions in the bill which, if they should be introduced into any measure for regulating the university he represented, would impair its usefulness— namely, the establishment of private halls for members not belonging to any college, the mode in which scholarships and fellow ships were to be obtained, and the limitation of the tenure of fellowships, which was too much abridged. Mr. Goul burn examined these provisions, pointing out their ob jectionable character with reference to the University .0 0 1 Cambridge, and exp r es s i ng a h ope th a t they wou ld n ot b enforced upon that university.

THE' ARMV — DEPARTINIEN TS. Earl GREY moved for copies of correspondence be tween the different departments of the Government with respect to the additions which had been made to the department of the Secretary of State for War and the colonies, and also with regard to any changes which had been made in the transaction of business relating to the administration of the army. The noble earl com menced by detailing the duties discharged by the CM' mander-in-Chief and the Master-General of the Ordnance, showing that in many respects they were anomalous, capricioui, and clashing. The theory of the existing ar rangement was, that these independent authorities were made to co-operate by the external authority of the Se. cretary of State. Formerly - the practice corresponded with the theory; but in the present state of affairs it was physically impossible that the Minister charged with the complicated arrangements of the Colonial-office could also give due care to the administration of the affairs of. the British army. Very serious consequences to the health and lives of the troops had resulted from the want of a united system of military management ; in consequence, when he was at the head of the Colonial office, he caused inquiries to be made into this subject, and the results were really appaling. In Jamaica, the mortality among the troops for the twenty years end ing in 1837, amounted to 2,758 out of a force of 6,7oo—being an average •of 130 per 1,000. The loss in the battle of Waterloo, inchiding those who died of their wounds, a s well as those killed, was only 100 in the 1,000, showing that there was greater risk to life in one year's service in Jamaica than there was in the greatest battle known to history, He denied that this mortality was the effect of the climate, because, owing to greater care being taken of the soldiers ; and the, Substitution of fresh meat for salt meat, the mor tality among the troops in the island was reduced to 34 per 1,000. In the other West India commands the mortality had been reduced from 85 to 45 per 1,000 ; and he believed that 45 much larger a mortality than it would be if a better system were adopted. Much of the mortality be attributed to the undue use of salt provi ,ions, for all the time this was taking place they were fending their convicts with the fresh provisions which they denied to the soldiers who guarded them ; but this was not the worst of it, for it turned out that the fresh provisions thus denied to the troops were actually cheaper than the salt. • It was, however, no part of .the duty of the Secretary at-War to - interfere with the victualling of the army ; but seeing the evil, he felt it his duty, when he was at the Colonial-office, to- call the attention of the Treasury to the subject. A correspondence ensued, which lasted two years, and he described in some detail the different impediments which had hindered the work of improve ment. He then referred to the quartering of the troops in the West Indies during the time that this mortality was proceeding, and described casesin which the sleep ing room allowed to each soldier was only eighteen inches. For a dozen years the barracks in Trinidad had been kept in a state unfit for negroes, and the me dical officers reported considerable mortality owing to the impossibility of keeping them dry. The noble earl added a variety of other details to prove that numbers of soldiers had perished from want of accommoda tion, which might have been provided if a better sys tem of management had been adopted. He assured the house that these were not isolated cases ; they were examples of a system ; and they proved beyond all question that the clashing departments in the ad ministration of the army ought to be unites. During ail these years there had been the greatest possible com bination of talent and experience in military administra tion at home ; thus showing that the evils and abuses which he bad detailed arose out of the system which was adopted. He might be met by the argument that even under the system which he so strongly condemned the British army had always proved itself efficient. Such a consideration he regarded as irrelevant, but he quoted the Duke of Wellington and Sir Willoughby Gordon to show that they felt and complained of the anomalous mode of management. Sir Willoughby Gordon, in a confidential report in 1810, expressly recommended the consolidation of the different offices connected with the administration of the army into one department, under the control of the Secretary of State ; and from his own experience, he could assure the house that it was impossible, under the existing system, for . the Secretary of State to exercise th a t con t ro l and supervision without which there could be no unity or efficiency of action. Even if the noble duke now at the head of the department were not to open a single colonial despatch, he would have quite enough to do to attend the business of his office as Min ister of War. During war there was not time to follow the present cumbersome mode of transacting business. He was told that an additional Under-Secretary had been appointed to assist the noble duke. This could only mitigate, and not remove the evil. It was necessary that a totally different system should be organised ; and he suggested that the admini s t ra ti on o f th e army should be a copy of that of the navy. All the different departments might be consolidated in one board, which hoard should be presided over by the Secretary-at-War. This, whilst securing efficiency, would also secure re sponsibility. The noble earl then mentioned circum stances which led him to believe that there had been some changes of plan in reference to the conduct of the pre sent war, and expressed a fear that, under the existing system, they might, without great care, prove danger ous. In conclusion, he anticipated and answered an objection that the changes he suggested would virtually take the administration of the army from the Crown, contending that the question was, not the administration of the Crown but the responsibility of the Government, and that it was impossible, with due regard to the effi ciency of the service, to keep separate the civil and military administration of the army. The Duke of NEWCASTLE said there was no ob- jection to the production of the papers. He would not deny that there might be faults in the system under which the army was governed, but he did not think that the noble earl had established his case. All the in stances he had adduce were of remote date ; and he had shown by references to his own management that where abuses had been proved they had always been remedied. The mortality in Jamaica took place when barracks did not exist in the healthy part of the island, and when they were not under the charge of the home Govern ment; and, adverting to the mortality in Bermuda and Hong Kong, be assured the house that the greatest pos sible care had always been taken by the Government of the health and lives of the troops. Alluding to the noble earl's correspondence with the Treasury some years ago, he asked .whether he meant to contend that the control of that department over finance should be abandoned? If he did, cadit questio; if he did not, then that correspondence had nothing to do with the subject. (Hear, hear.) Admitting again, that there were theoretical objections to the existing system, he did not believe that its practical evils were so great as the noble earl had represented. He objected to place upon the Secretary of War the duties now discharged by the C o mmander-in-Chief. It might, however, be worth con sideration whether the commissariat should be removed from the Treasury; but he was bound to say that the Duke of Wellington entertained a very strong opinion that this department should remain in the hands of the Treasury. Some persons thought there ought not to be a commissariat at all ; but the absence of such a depart ment would certainly be attended with serious evils. His own experience at the present moment did not cor roborate the statements of the noble earl, as to the want of promptitude and harmony in the different de partments under the present system. After any decision had been taken, there had never been the smallest hesita tion or the slightest difference of opinion. One of the best tests of efficiency was action in a time of pressure. The experience of the last two or three months was decisive upon this point ; for it proved, beyond all doubt, that the existing system was neither vicious nor imperfect. Under no circumstances, and at no time, had so great a force as that just sent to Turkey ever been sent out by this country with greater celerity or success ; and he assured the noble earl that no contradictory orders had ever been issued with respect to it. Any such dislocation of the existing system as had been recommended would, instead of increasing the efficiency of one department, destroy the efficiency of all ; and he quoted Earl Grey's own evidence before a Parliamentary committee in 1850, to the effect that a time of war 'would have the effect of practically uniting all the administrative functions of the army under one head, The very case which the fore- The March publication has h.theite consisted of the same sheets as in the Christmas edition ; but this year every copy of the work has been divosed of, notwith.tandlng that the edition wits the largest ever produced: it has therefore been necessary entirely to reprint the volume.

We shall yet see the pecuniary charges for the army, the ordnance, and the commissariat put into one estimate, so that the fi nancial military affairs of the country shall be laid at one time before the Houses of Parliament. He thought that the time had arrived when it behoved the Govern ment to consider how those changes may be effected gradually, safely, and in proper time, before they are ef fected suddenly and with a rough hand. Earl GREY having then replied, the motion was agreed to. TESTAMENTARY JURISDICTION. The third reading of the Testamentary Jurisdiction Bill was moved by the LORD CRANOELLOR. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY remonstrated against the injustice which the measure would inflict upon the proctors, Lord WYNFORD thought that the bill should not be allowed to pass without taking the sense of the house. After soma further discussion, their lordships divided, and the bill,passed the third reading by a majority of 2, the numbers being—Contents, 7 ; Non:contents, 5. The house adjourned at 10 o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS—(YESTERDAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock.

The Lowestoft Linprovemont (No. 2) Bill was read a second time and ordered to be committed. PETITIONS. A large number of pititions were presented against the opening of public-houses on Sandayi. Mr. WALTERS presented a petition from the Dissenters of Nottingham praying that all restrictions upon the ad mission of Dissenters into the universities may be removed. The hon. member stated that he did not concur in the prayer of the petition. Mr. FERGUSON presented a petition from the National Providential Fire Insurance Company praying for the re duction of the duty on fire insurance. Sir W. IIEAT/ICOTE presented a petition from the president of St. John's College, Oxford, complaining of certain clauses in the University Reform Bill. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE, Mr. DIViTT, and several other hon. members presented petitions praying for the admission of Dissenters into the Universities. Major BERESFOR - 13 presented a petition from a place in Essex against the Parliamenty Oaths Bill. Mr. RICH presented a petition from the corporation of Richmond, in the North Riding, complaining of an over sight of the Pop u l a ti on Commissioners, and praying that in any future Reform Bill the town might be preserved from disfranchisement; a proceeding that seemed to be contemplated by the new Reform Bill. Mr. BASS presented a petition from Derby in favour of the Reform Bill Lord J. RUSSELL presented two petitions to the same effect, one from the corporation of Cambridge and the other from Yarmouth. VENTILATION OF THE ROUSE. Mr. SPOONER gave notice that on Monday he should move the consideration of the select committee on the ven tilation of the house. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER entirely agreed with his right hon. friend who had just addressed thorn, that the legislation which passed through Parlia ment with respect to the two universities of Oxford and Cambridge ought to have a careful regard to the distinc tive characteristics of those universities. Although it had been stated by his noble friend at the head of the Govern ment, that neither the policy nor the general principle or outline of legislation which the two universities required have a close resemblance in the ono case or the other, yet ho thought it was true in respect to minute details, that it would be desirable th . at Parliament should pursue a course somewhat distinct in reference to each. (Hear, hear.) It was, therefore, quite necessary for him to follew his right hon. friend in the discussion of the three points to' which he had just adverted ; he would simply Bay, how ever, that he did not think his right h on. friend had exactly collected the real purport or provisions 'of this bill, even as they stood, while with respect to .one point upon which he had touched, namely, with regal d to the abre viation ,of the term during which a fellowship might be held in conjunction with re- ;icicle, he would merely re mind his right hon. friend that at was a . point simply as CHURCH RATES. Mr. PACKS gave notice that after Easter he should move for leave to bring in a bill to exempt Dissenters from the payment of church-rates. NEWSPAPER STAMPS. On the motion of Mr. FITZGERALD, the following return was ordered :—Return of the number of stamps at ld. each issued to each newspaper published in the cities of London, Dublin, and Edinburgh, respectively, for each quarter, in the years 1851, 1852, and 1853, and in the first quarter of tho year 1851, specifying the name of each newspaper, with the number of stamps issued to each in each quarter. /-7 - e") Lo! • 6/?:- objections of the right hot: gentlemen; and he directed h critiaisra entirely to the bireieseiC. , The objection,: of the lion. iritetlear etnftera : Viitstfty; he.said that the colleges they ould but 'if he- lveold tv eiut a-eforre• tlieniselVetr.

It was open to the acolle ges to abolish' those oaths ; but feeling and sentiment there was a great deal ote e e n a t egt - violenete t would be done to connected with this, queett ote those feelings if those oath's:: Were abolished, and the bon. Member might perhaps think' it 'better to leave it to the discretion of the parties eoneeriied under the direction of the coramissiaptrs. The hon. gentleman complained that the clerical element was, the ,bane and: pest of Oxford. Would the hon. gentleman have desired the preamble of the bill to run "Whereas the. clerical element is the bane and pest of Oxford I" and did he think that there was any chance of passing; a bill with the spirit of such etxreamble through that, ilnuso? The clerical elementain OiTirrd should be left to - take its chance, but was it desirable by the force cf acts of Parliament to compel, an institution to take a line to which its, spirit and gemes, didsiot tend ; and it was not in the powe r of 'Parli ament to throw the cleri ca l influ ence but 'of -oiford thoneli it might tend to relax it. • s b' There was a cause in. the byeishich it would be easy , 'for those who chose to holtt fullo*Ships.without adopting the clerical charahter,tto helddhein in spite of the present usages of the colleges.. It was not advisable to go further, andthe doubted whether it was possible largely to separate the clerical Systeni for the collegiate system; for whatever the house might do, the, parerits , oft England in the main' preferred that, education should be conducted by - those: who were in holy orders., (Hear, hoar, bear.) It was' not the • effect of the statutes of colleges. Look at the schools • thyoughout the • country which throve and prospered, and Which were preferred by parent, and it would be found, that they felt That it was not. merely intellectual culture that they required for their children; but' moral treinieg, and they believed , that the clerical character'of the clergy gaVe' no immaterial security for the principles which they thought a necessary part of education. - For those reasons, the Government did not propose to interfere with the clerical element of fellow. ships. But the - main objection of the hon. member was that the bill had been . too well received at Oxford. That was a source of satisfaction, to hint (Mr. Gladstone) which alarnied the hon. member. The hon. member thought that it was necessary testimonial to the character of the bill that it should create alarm at Oxford. The right hon. baronet (Sir J. Pakington) had told the Government to conciliate, and the hon. member said that there was too much conciliation in the bill, and that it had been too well received at Oxford. He (Mr. Gladstone) should not like to make known to the hon. member the correspondence which had been carried on between himself and Oxford. He had received letters which he did not b e li eve t o represent the majority of his constituents and the resident body, but which, at th e same time, .were couched in vigorous and racy phraseology as applied to the provisions of the bill, and if the hon, gentleman would communicate with him in private, with regard to those letters, he thought the ob jection that there wa s no alarm. at Oxford -would be found not to be tenable. (Bear, awl a l augh.) Then came the hon, and learned member for Cambridge, who had opened a most important question. The honourable member's objection went to the root of the provisions of the bill which related to colleges. The honourable member isid down a very high doctrine,- which was loudly cheered. The honourable member said the plan was a question- not of policy . but ,of honesty ; that the founders had left certain bequests, and that those it was proposed to take away. He would point out to his ' hon, and learned friend that his doctrine was contradicted by the existing state of facts. His hon. and learned friend said we were going to violate bequests and to outrage the local preferences of the founders. He (Mr. Gladstone) did not believe that the real object of the localisation of endow ments was to limit the spread of learning but in reality to extend it. To make a certain place noted for learning was necessary to attract students in- times when transit was difficult. But were the conditions of the founders observed at present? were William of Wykehain's conditions, or Archbishop Chichely's statutes observed ? (Hear, hear.) The same argument had been used , n the abolition of tests • in Scotch Univer ities., and it was alleged that the house should not do what was done every day a ;senates acade miens in Edinburgh. It was now alleged that the house shouid not do what was done -every day in All Souls' Cel lege with respect to Archbishop Chichely's statutes. The fact was, that the violation of such EtAutes had become a aviator of necessity, and all the house sought to do was to legalise the act. If changes were to be made on individual opinion, who was to be the judge of their propriety? The • founders did not give control over the foundations to the visitors of the college. Who, then, did th e contro l pro perly belong t o ? To the legislature, to be sure, which was the foundation of all authority in this country. This he would say, - that if there were one thing more than another which the founders contemplated, it was that resi dence should be the basis and condition of these founda tions. The hon. and learned member said it was-a clues tiod of honesty. He (Mr. Gladstone). hoped not, as if it were, a great many respectable men would be placed in an awkward predicament. It was no question of honesty, it was a question of necessity, and all the home sought to do was to make the general, necessity. a subject of legal enactment, and of regular operation. He should not fur ther trouble the house, as all the details would be thoroughly sifted in committee. He felt gratified at t the general acceptation with which. the general scope and in tention of the bill had been received. It was an emanci patory measure,, emancipating the university' from extra neous influences, and emancipating the colleges from un wholesome restrictions, which they could not themselves break through. It was not a bill to cripple the university, but to found its goVernment on the representative princi ple, and thereby to increase its. influence and extend its utility. It proposed to make the endowments of Oxford . really,- available forethe t p ur poedirintendeilr''Arfiretierit many of these endowments were literally dormant. Such swathe ease with the New College, whose case had been so ably advocated by the hon, and learned mehiber for Ply mouth. This was not to be said of all the colleges, but the object of the bill was to make the good general, which was now only done in particular colleges. With regard to the professorial question, he did not think it would be de sirable Professors could not be made in a clay; but when provided, and organised lie believed that the colleges would be will ing to endow them properly. The professorial System was favourable to the cultivation of deep and extensive learn ing, and therefore he hoped that this portion of the bill would 'be left untouched by the house. He should only further say, that the bill was not so much a measure to cure evils as to - create and extend benefits already exist ing, and he felt assured that, if accepted by the house, it would conduce to the prosperity, the perznanenco, and the utility of Oxford. Mr. 'WALPOLE could not allow the discussion to close without pointing out that the principle of the bill was not of the emancipatory nature represented by the right hon. gentleman, but of unnecessary eompulsion. By the charters and oaths there were impediments no doubt to be removed to enable colleges to carry oat education in a satisfactory manner, but that wee. no reason why other impediments should be . imposed on th e au th or i ty of par liaanept, which was notacgeainted with the local needs of the universities, and which acted upon party spirit and prejudice, and which i m p e di ments would render it impos sible that these establishments- could be effectiVe fQr the purposes for which they were establithecl. With regard to the licensed halls, his right hon. friend said they were necessary for the extension of the universities, but with out them they might' nut have the - same extension as existed at Cambridge when the students ,were allowed to reside in lodgint's. Ti l e s y s t em hi s ri g ht h on. friend sought to introduce would break up collegiate discipline, which was impossible wheu the students did ilk meet to gether in the same lecture -rooter, at study, at worship, and at meals, but were scattered about away from the colleges. And in reference to the endoWnents, it ill became that house to say that the condition on which endowmente were made should be broken. As far as the next of kin were concerned he agreed with the bill. He hoped that the connection between the schools and the endowments would not be broken, and that the bill in this respect would be altered. If his right hon. friend proceeded on .the principle that it. was . fur . the advantage of the com munity that those ' endowments be .diverted from their -original purposes, he would he landed in this diffi culty, that there was no corporate. property at which he could stop s h or t, lint that, all such p roper t y wou l d be liable to be diverted frera its original purposes if it could be shown that such diversion would tend to the public benefit. Parliament had n o r i g h t to interfere with rty t vested in corporations, or i nc li v id tra l s, except so far as was necessary to enable those in whom it wile vested to me l ee such redisposition of it as was most conducive to the objects for which it was intended. Let that same pr . i n cieic be applied to time) collog, s. Ho contidared th e t u torial system prefereble to the professorial, which he c ontended was opposed to profundity of knowledge. These advantages weuld never be obtained I,y the mere profes sorial system, which would only fill the mind with a mass of undigested materials. Ho hoped that, system would never be made to supersede the tutorial system, • which was the only one that could properly train men for their duties. The bill ought simply to recite the expediency of enlarging the powers of 1.11,3 university and colleges; - for extendin g a ndimproving their powers : the commissioners • should then be appointed, with simply a guiding and controlling Power, derived front the legislature. 'lt ought - then to es tablish a hebdomadal board, somewhat different from the present, but not like the anoinelous congretration proposed by the bill, which would have the power a debating with out making amendments. It should then declare in simple terms the preferences that were to continue, and give a general power to the colleges to alter their statutes, with tte approbation of the commissioners nod the crown. That would be simply an enabling bill, and they could not . saAs factority reform the universities in any other way. To do anything more would be simply to enable the colleges to act- for their own wrong. (Hear, hear.) Of late years -Oxford had done much, Cambridge had done almost every thing, to improve their own system. The colleges had not bad the opportunity of doing so, not having the power. Such a measure would be more conducive to the object in view than any other course that could he proposed., The bill was capabl e even now o f b eing alt e red so as to make it a successful measure. If it continued in its present form when it came out of committee•he should oppose its further progress. (Hear, hear.) • Lord J. ItTJSSELL—Sir, speecof my right hon. friend, that the debate woe be h ld • I did not expect, after the further prolonged. (Hear, heal.) • But as the right hon. - gentleman has th oug ht it necessary no t on ly to comment on the provisions of the bill, but to protest against its pro visions and character altogether,' I must endeavour in a few sentences. to vindicate the measure which we have proposed. Let us recollect ;that was pointed Cut by an hon, friend whom I was delighted to hear deliver a speech of so much ability combined with so much temperance. (Cheers.) My lion. friend stated that, in the year 1837, the colleges of Oxford declared, 'by the mouth of the dis tingui3hed Chancellor whom they had the honour of seeing at the i r h ea d, that they were then setting about plans of reform, and that they expected to make great progress with these plans. Parliament would, I have no doubt, have been delighted to hear that the only obstacles which Ox ford had in the prosecution of its voluntary pleas of reform were in certain restrictions, which, without ,the help of the Legislature, they could not overcome, and that, therefore, all ey had determined to apply to Parlia ment for the remov a l of those restrictions, in order that they might be able to carry out these reforms. I hre no doubt that such p owers _ would h ave be en real ly granted, and that by the year 1859 they would probably have had time to ca r ry into effect all those excellea EPRWE SD. one of -the details of the hill which the house would have to deal %Tali accordiug to its wisdom and judgment. (Hear, hear.). It appeared to :him that, after these seven or eight hours' debate; Oxford; and those who, were inte rested in Oxfori e had. rent reason 'to be satisfied. with the . tone and cha rac t er o f 'thi s discussion ; for, without a single exception, "he might say the di s cussion had been approached' by those who -had taken part: in it 'with a feeling of. affection, or atta c h men t, or vene r a ti on f or h er institution's; and with an utter absence of anything like .party spirit. (Hear, beer.) And if, in former._ timer, Oxford, had presented Parliament with illustrious names, such as , Fox, Canning,- and Peel, it was with no common gratification that he had listened .to-night to the :first efforts'of two members of this house—the hon. member for Tevistock and the noble lord the member for Stamford —whose first effort in the way of debate, rich as it was in future promise, showed that there was still going forth from the maternal boiouf of that university men who, in . the earliest days of their career, afford a good guarantee of what hereafter they were deitined.to accom plish' (Cheers.) Having said thus _much he !Mist with perfect truth and sincerity like Wise say that _when he lis ten noble lord ened to the noble lorcl i itoccurred to hith . that although - 1 had learnt muelrhe had' et, he wouldvehe ture to assur e hi m, something to unlearn—(hear, Y hear)— for when the nobl e lord spoke of the levity and precipitancy with which majorities of the house dealt with the great interests and great institutions of _the country—when he told them that they had in - the house at one hour a nisterbelonging to the highest Torie s , and at another hour a Minister professing th e l owest point 'of radicalisM—when• he said the majorities of the house were swayed to and ire like a weathercock, or were moved by every passing breeze —he must venture to assure him that his future studies of the' constitution, as well as his practical experience of the conduct of the house of which he hop e d the noble lord would long' remain a member, would, before long, give him _a better opinion of .the British House of Commons (Cheers.) The noble lord would find that Parliament, al though it might be liable for the moment to b e i s se ueueod by gusts of party or p ass i on , it yet did- no t d eserve the character of representing no more in its deliberate position than the fancies of the passing hour. (Hear.) The noble lord had certainly opposed the principle of this bill, and, he was afimid, to a considerable -extent, the right hon. gentleman the member for Oxfordshire had done the same; but nevertheless, he was bound to say, re ferring to the general character and tone of the debate. that the opinions whiCh had been expressed in it were such as to satisfy him that there was every hope and a reason able prospect that, after further discussion and some modi fication, the bill would b ecome l aw d ur i ng t h e presen t see sion. (Hear.) The right hon. gentleman the member for Oxfordshire had referred to one or two points upon which he must be allowed briefly to touch in the way of reply. The right hon. gentleman stated that one of the commis aimless whom it was proposed to appoint under the bill had frequently declared opinions with respect to the founda tion of professorships which were at variance with this bill; but he must be allowed to tell the right hon. gentleman that he did not believe there was any contrariety between the opinions of Sir John Aldridge and the provision of this bill, while he must also assure the right bon. gentle man that the framers of the bill did not intend such a. thing, nor did the bill itself authorise the confiscation of the property of p, college in order to establish professor. ships. There was no compulsory provisions in the bill re quiring the separation of a college from any part of its foundations, and the character of the gentleman namedin the bill as the commissioner to superintend its execution was a sufficient guarantee that nothing in the shape of confiscation would be attempted. As to the question whe ther the bill gave sufficient power to the heads of colleges. or whether it gave them too much power, that was a mat ter which would bo best discussed when they got into com mittee. (Hear.) The right hon. gentleman referred to the subject of the admission of Dissenters, with 'respect to which he lamented that th ere was a con t rar i ety of opinion between himself and his noble friend the member for the city of :London ; but in point of fact there was no such contrariety whatever. (Hear, hear.) His noble friend had stated his opinion in favour of the admis sion of Dissenters into the university, but at the same time he had also announced his intention to vote against any proposition, should it be made, for inserting such a provi sion in this bill. In following his noble friend on the oc casion when that declaration was made, he stated that he should give a similar vote, and ho did not enter into any discussion then upon the point, and for this plain reason, that it had already been shown e uay, it hati been. promised, that an opportunity would be afforded to both him and the house for discussing the matter when the bill got into com mittee. He had thought it more respec tf u l to his constitu ency to defer the expression of his opinion upon the subject until that opportunity arrived, but when it did arrive the right hon. gentleman might rest satisfied that he should be prepared-to state without any reservation whatever, the .reasons which would induce him to vote against such a pro posal. (Hear, hear.) The next material objection to the bill which he must take leave to refer to had been urged by the right hon. baronet the member for Droitwich in a speech which he had the greatest satisfaction iu acknow ledging was as conspicuous for its candour and fairness as its ability. The right honourable baronet had de- ; Glared that the bill was wanting in conciliation. Wanting in conciliation. Why, only look at the con dition of the house, and then the right hon. baronet would see that Government had conciliated and concili ated until they had conciliated all animation out of this debate. Three 'fourths of the members who usually gave them .their attendance were absent,- but however unSatisfactory it might be to those who, like him, rose to address MIS Speaker on the "subject, to' - d that the onl ' I response that could meet his sentiments must come from empty green benches. (A. laugh.) It was nevertheless an emphatic testimony to the spirit of conciliation which had animated the Government in framing this bill. (Hear, hear.) The right hon. baronet, for the sake of opposing this bill, had fallen back upon a speech which he delivered some four years ago, in which the right hon; baronet said ho expressed himself hostile to any Government interference with the university, but the right hon. baronet forgot to state that he qualified that opinion by stating that a state of things might arise which would ab solutely demand the intervention of Parliament. What he did was to advise the authorities of the university, at the time they made the new statutes relative to examina tions, that they must make the necessary reforms them selves, or it would be the duty of the Legislature to inter pose. Now, the university authorities, w ith th e disabili ties imposed on them, had found it totally i m p oss ibl e t o make the changes which necessity demanded, and this bill was intended to get rid of the difficulty. This purposed intervention in the affairs of the university was to be made on a large scale, because it was most desirable that'this in terference of the Legislature should be such an interference as should serve once and for all ; that it should bo an in terference effectual for its purpose, and, being_ an inter ference effectual for its purpose, it was hardly likely that any necessity would again arise for a repetition of the same process. (Hear, hear.) The right hon. baronet told them next, that there was great fault to be found with the bill in respect to the proposition it contains; relating to the extension of the university. Tice right hon. baronet thought the plan which was about to be proposed by the university itself was a much better plan than that contained in this bill ; but it was only right that he should understand that there was no rivalry between the university and the Government in this matter, because both proposed to carry out an extension of the university through the means of affiliated halls. Now this was not new question, since it had been discussed for the last eight years at the university, but it had never yet been put in such a form or reduced to such a plan as to admit of it, being carried into practical operation. It was not, how ever, for the Government to finally dispose of this question without further consideration, because it was a matter with which'• the university itself was dealing, and with which they had every desire to deal extensively (dear.) The extension proposed by the bill was not a mere exten sion, .but appertaitied to the most important and vital ob jects of the university. The time had come when an en deavour should be made to g ive more freedom and expan sion to the instru c ti on i n Oxford, and to decide whether it should depend on the collegiate system alone ; and it was proposed that it should not depend on any body or execu tive officer, but on fixed laws of the university, whether it should be free to any qualified persons to open their resi dences to students. The two plans did not stand in oppo sition to each other. He wished the university plat: of extension to succeed, bat he also wished to see that insti tution unfold and unbend itself, and apply itself to the wants of this teeming age, which Oxford at present 'could not be said to do. It was not intended to set the legisla tion of the university, but Parliament was asked to enact a plan'for time extension of the university, a course wYcli was not new. By interfering with the system of the uni versity they only undid by intervention from without that which had originally been done from within. • For three centuries the action of the crown and its ministers had placed the u n i vers it y. .un d er a restr i ctive sys t em , and what more legitimate ac t cou ld b e d one th an t o undo the:hand of the St a t e th e f e tt ers w hi c h th & liand of too State had imposed. That was the principle of the plan that was proposed, the details of which could be better_ give to thatdiscussed in committee, and he hoped the committee would principle its sanction. He would not at that late hour dis cuss the question of the c onstitution of_ the hobdom adal board, and whether it should be elected by congregation or by a section of the university, those were points which it would be better to discuss in committee. The general scope of the plan as it note stood was founded the tphaerteixespeicn untiesnielsir university b e con ducted under the provi sions of t h e bill, tation that it was t i h n e es cl s e o si f re.end the Oxford that the bus with a disp os iti on that every class should_ meet with a fair cl a i m to respect from every other. If the university could not be trusted, the bill was a bad bill, for it proceeded on the principle that if you started the university fairly it would go on in that co urse. But if it was determi ne d that the heads of houses should always be elected by heads of houses, professors by prefessors, and convocation by convocation, you would stewp those classes with an appearance of sectional and j 'rival interests which, though they might be now lumen tarilY es prom e inent, he hoped would soon be lost in th e gene -I ral dir to-promote the main object of the university. The right hon. gentleman (Sir J. Pakington) in one point must have misunderstood the bill, for he argued as if it proposed that the emoluments of the university should 136 dis p o sed by the sole test of examination. The right hon. gentleman quoted what had been said by - him -(Mr Gladstone) in 1850—that examination would be an unsafe test if it was used 'as the sole test of admission to the emoluments of the university. He was still of that opinion. He thought it would not be safe, considering the social character of the colleges, that examination should be a test of fitness for admission to emoluments. Eut he did not aly that it was the sole test of fitness ; and in the 28th clause of the bill it was provided that " superior fit ness, in character or attainments," should be a test for ad mission to the emoluments. It was not proposed to make a more liberal enlargement of the qualification. lint, al though he thought it not wise to snake examination the sole test, yet it was a valuable and indispensable criterion. Ifit was wished to put vigour and permanence into the .re gulations of the coll eges , it was necessary to adopt compe tition, and to give examination a chief place among the tests of fitness. Passing on from the speech of the right hon. gentleman, he came to that of another member who spoke from a different quarter of the house, and in a dif ferent sense—he meant the hon. member for Newark. lie was bound to say that the hon. gentleman, like the right hon. gentleman, though lie spoke iu a differenesense, spoke , with the same feeling for the welfare of Oxford which hail, distinguished all her children in this discussion. The ob., jections of the hon. member ran counter to those of the right hon. gentleman . , and he said he would not notice the THE CHEAPEST AND STRONGEST CHLORIDE OF ZINC, Quarts. 2s. ;,Pints, Is.; Half-pints, 6d.

WITHDRAWAL OF THE TURKISH LOAN. The withdrawal of the Turkish loan was, of course, received with satisfaction to-day by the parties who had applied for it when Consols were 2 per cent. above their present price, but the question has been discussed as to the prospects of Turkey, if she is to be left without money at the present moment. The proposals first put forward having failed, the credit of the Ottoman Govern ment has sustained damage which would only be in creased by attempting fresh negotiations on lower terms, and it is therefore difficult to conjecture what alterna tives will be resorted to. Namik Basha has quitted London, and it is therefore to be assumed that the ex pectation of any plan being immediately devised for a renewal of negotiations with the capitalists of this country has been given up. Meanwhile it is asserted that be bag obtained 400,0001. from the French Government. As the Allied Powers, however, have thus far acted in concert on all pciints, it seems scarcely likely that on one of such importance France will be left to act alone, especially since the fact of pecuniary claims being allowed to grow up on one side which are not shared by the other might lead to disagree able complications when the war shall have been brought to an end. Whatever course may finally be re solved upon, it seems certain that, if the required amount is to be raised either in Paris or London, nothing short of a political guarantee will suffice for the purpose. The opinion, supposing that method to be ultimately enter tained, is than an equal sum should be raised in France and England, the subscribers in each country having the security of a pledge from their respective Governments for the enforcement of their claims. The granting of subsidies is out of the questiOn, and, if the matter be undertaken at all by the two Governments, it should only be with a determination to enforce upon Turkey a punctual discharge of the obligations incurred. If the ability to do this cannot be counted upon, then it will be equally impossible to suppose that she can be relied on for the fulfilment of any of the cl iuses of the treaties by which her position is ultimately. to be defined, and it must be useless to fight on her behalf. Under these cir cumstances it is to be hoped that no further private proposals will be introduced to disturb the money ruarket, and it will be very satisfactory if it should prove that the Sultan still has financial resources to which he can turn, and w hich it may be his duty to exhaust be fore he can be entitled to appeal for advances to his allies.
