He hoped their l or d s hip s would adhere to the bill as it had come up from the other house.

After a conversation the clause was agreed to, as was clause 26.

They have their ,:istlnct talents and Peculiarities, but, once amalgamated, there is no bound to their pro- Eresa. It will have been observed that E. MOSES awl SON were the first to exhibit the c..mmercial consequences of the unity of Prance and England. France produced its fancy fabrics for SUM IIER ATTIRE, and E MOSES and SON fashioned them into the most approved costume forth it s aeon. for special or ordinary wear. Thus France has produced for E. MOSES and SON, and they have manufactured for them—having their Patrons in France as well as all other countries. MOSES and SON never overlooked the advantages which the Public derive from the unity of France and England —their present stock of SUMMER ATTIRE is the most sati•fa.:,tory - illustration Which could be attained in HATS, CAPS, FANCY HOSIERY, LADIES' DRESSES, SHAWLS, MANTLES, PARASOLS, &c. Prance and England are reprtsented in the most I tractive manner at E. MOSES and SON'S City and West end Branch Estat,lishments, and the benefits of the international compact are discerned in the very economical prices charged for the most elegant articles of the Season. JUV'ENILE ATTIRE, which E. MOSES and SON have produced for, the MiDsUMMER HOLM %NS, partake+ Of all these advan tages, and is distimuished for novelty and cheapness, which exceeds all former preparations. The WHOLESALE DEPARTMENT, which is the largest and Most select Stock of SHIRTS, 1:00TS, and SHOES, &c., secures the most desirable advantages to Merchants, Captains, Emigrants, orCountry Buyers, the articles being much better and considerably cheaper than at any other house.

Theessoatial object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities and excesses, Which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is Particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It is absolutely necessary that all men rhotild know, that there are Principles of personal management which cannot be violated without Incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. The Author has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive Practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which are unfortunately been too generally confided to the care of ignorant erapiries, who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place fat, it in their pretensions.

CONSOLIDATION OF THE STATUTE LAW. In reply to Lord LYNDHURST, The LORD CHANCELLOR did not intend to in troduce any bills this session founded upon the reports of the commissioners for the consolidation of the statute law, but the reports would be printed, in order that they might be considered during the recess, but next session he would propose certain bills grounded on the reports with the view of their passing into law. TESTAMENTARY JURISDICTION BILL. In answer to Lord ST. LEONARDS, The LORD CHANCELLOR said it was the inten tion of the Government to withdraw for the present session the Testamentary Jurisdiction Bill. The reason for taking this course was the difficulty which would arise in considering this bill, without having before them the whole question of ecclesiastical jurisdiction. He, however, meant to go on with the Divorce Bill, which could be easiiy dealt with separately, and which, if passed, would effect a very necessary and much-desired improvement in the existing law. UNIVERSITY OF OA'ORD. The Earl of DERBY presented a petition from 145 resident members of the University of Oxford, against the separation of the University from the Established Church. The Earl of WINCHESTER strongly inveighed against the proposal to separate the University from the Church, which, he said, if carried into effect, would lead to the downfall of the Throne and all our institu tions. UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD BILL. Their lordships then went into committee upon this bill ; Lord REDESDALE in the chair. Lord CANNING moved the postponement of the preamble. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH said it was very necessary to postpone it, for unless the bill was mate rially altered it would be entirely inconsistent with the preamble. The preamble recited that the measure was one for the "advancement of religion ;" but the bill so far from promoting religion, contained some provisions which might be considered to have an opposite effect. (Hear, hear, from the Earl of Derby.) If the bill were not very much amended, he should certainly move the omission of these words in the preamble. (Hear.) The preamble was then postponed. On clause 1, The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH moved the inser tion of the Earl of Harrowby's name in the first portion of the clause, the object of which was to give precedence to the noble earl over the rest of the commissioners. The amendment was agreed to. On clause 4, relating to oaths, • Lord BERNERS moved the omission of the words, "And no oath which may have been taken by any such officer shall be pleadable in bar of any authorities of the said commissioners." Viscount CANNING said he must oppose the amend ment. It appeared to her Majesty's Government that in dealing with this question of oaths, it was very de. sirable to remove every impediment which might arise from motives of conscience ; and as the colleges had administered oaths by virtue of authority given by the state, so the state, being the dominant power, had a right to absolve front the obligation of such oaths. Lord BERNERS said he must persist in the aineiad ment. Their lordships then divided— For Lord Berners's amendment, 64 Against 77-13 The clause was then agreed to. On clause 5, The Earl of DERBY observed that the new constitu tion was to come into operation on the very day when the examinations were held, and when the annual ac counts of all the colleges were in course of settlement. This would be very inconvenient, and it would there fore be better to postpone for a few weeks the coming into operation of the new system. He would there fore suggest that the words " on or before the 14th day of December" should be substituted for the words "upon the 14th day of Michaelmas Term." Again, as the bill now stood, the powers of the hebdomadal board were to be transferred to the new hebdomadal council on the 11th day of Michaelmas Term, 1854, and by the 10th clause the members of the heddomadal council were to be elected on the 15th day of Michaelmas Term so that the powers of the preent board were to be trans ferred to the new council before they were elected. (Hear.) There was here a jumble ~f dates which ought to be rectified. The noble earl suggested an alteration of the clauses which, without altering the object of the Government, would carry out their intention in a more simple manner. Viscount CANNING concurred in the propriety of altering the arrangement of the clauses, which would be an improvement. The clause was then agreed to. On clause 6, The Earl of ELLEN BOROUGH called attention to some verbal inaccuracies in the wording of this clause. In a bill for reconstructing a university, the grammar ought at least to be accurate. (Laughter.) e epts hloeaenr T ussGso h ew e no v6h E aeosi a ri na r tw l of dhmeeber ecne D ethtnaso E ena ß ecgeten ß : eenl Y eods drt ti said ttouo ,t( forget h t tt h euh a yg et (Laughter.) newitielneearmt. seemed governing therea vtf r toe i er n rhng, wasnhv t geo h s v , e ubriov p i ie e oyr r ia:. - lected that there was such a person, for two additional clauses were added to the bill, in which the name of the Lord Chancellor did occur. (Laughter.) He proposed to insert in the present clause before " Vice-Chancellor" the word " Chancellor," which would obviate the neces sity of the two additional clauses. Viscount CANNING, in seconding the amendment, head f t the o Chan cellor s et o represent him. o said his noble friend was w el l a ware that he had not been forgetter', appoint oneec because u professor ethe bill and e arew heaedd Lord WARD proposed the insertion of the following six shall consist of the vice - chancel lor, the p roctors, univer sity, clause in lieu of clause 6 :—" The hebdomadal council heads of colleges or halls, six professors of the . elected by the con gregation hereinafter mentioned of the said university , together with members of convocation of not less than five years standing, to be and the vice-ch a nc e llor or his deputy shall be the presi dent of such hebdomadal council." His object in pro posing this clause was, to bring about unanimity of action, and to make the principle of representation what it should be, a free and fair one. (Hear, hear.) The Earl of CARNARVON suggested introduc tionthe of the word "Cha n c e ll or " before Vice-Chancellor in the new clause, and the omission of the words "to be elected." By retaining those words the meaning of the clause was rendered dubious. The Earl of DONOUGHMORE said that it was desir able that the six heads of houses should be elected by those who were acquainted with them, and the same reason held good with regard to the professors. They had to reconcile, he would not say conflicting interests, but conflicting opinions ; and this being so, it was not logical that each body should elect the persons who were to represent them on the council. Not being a member of the University of Oxford himself, of which the noble lord was a member for many years, he could not say what was the object of the noble lord in proposing the clause ; but there seemed to exist a feeling of hostility to the heads of houses in the proposition of the noble lord. (Order, order.) The Duke of NEWCASTLE and Lord Ward rose together, but the former addressing the house, said he earnestly entreated that anything like personality— (loud cheers)— might be avoided in the discussion of this question. The noble earl, the leader of the opposition and the chancellor of the university, set them an admir able example, both last night and on the present occa sion, which he trusted would be steadily and implicitly followed. (Cheers.) If the noble earl who had just sat down had been a member of the University of Oxford, he would have avoided the observations he made, and he hoped his noble friend (Lord Ward) would not reply to these observations, because no one could impute to him any other motive in the amendment ho proposed than the good of the university and of all classes in it. (Hear, hear.) With regard to the amendment itself, he thought the remark of the noble earl behind him (the Earl of Carnarvon) was perfectly applicable, and that the clause as it stood would not carry out the intention of his noble friend. He hoped that the committee would concur in the propriety of making the congregation the elective body. They were of sufficient number, between 250 and , 300, constantly resident at Oxford, and therefore well' , acquainted with the merits of those whom it was pro posed to elect. He thought there was much truth in the suggestion of Lord Ward, that the heads of houses would elect the six senior heads of houses. He should therefore support the amendment of the noble lord. The Earl of HARROWBY opposed the amendment. The Bishop of OXFORD said the object was not to have in the hebdomadal council three sets of men repre senting different interests, but men chosen from three different bodies, all representing their common univer sity. This was a vital objection to the clause as it stood. Men might stand well with their limited circle, the heads of houses, who had no peculiar qualification as men of business for this office. Another reason in favour of the amendment was, that the heads of houses would not have their proper weight in the hebdomadal council if they were put in as nominees. (Hear.) This was always found to be the case in bodies where there were nominees of the crown and persons elected by popular suffrage in the same assembly. The former did not enjoy the influ ence which belonged to them ; and the heads of houses, if elected by themselves, would be looked upon as the representatives of a class. The effect of such a measure would be to crystallise temporary antagonism, and fix and perpetuate the differences of the day. (Hear, hear.) The Earl of POWIS thought it most undesirable thai The Earl of DERBY asked for an explanation of that part of the clause which required six professors to be elected, and one professor to he separately elected. The Duke of NEWCASTLE said it was proposed to omit those words. The Earl of DERBY said he objected to the govern ing power being entrusted to the resident body alone. He regretted that the system was not ad pted which had been recommended both by the commissioners and the university itself—that there should be two governing bodies. They had now decided that there should be one, and they proposed to exclude from all representa tion about nine-tenths of the members of the universities, by confining it to the residents. It was very much like a scheme for throwing the whole power in the university into the hands of one party, of about 250 wembers. No such objection could arise if the convocation with its 2,500 members had had its powers reserved. They were handing over Oxford to be governed, not by a free re presentation but by a limited oligarchy, whose views were confined to the university itiself;wl,-, had had little experience beyond its walls, and who had not learned, by mixing with the world at large, to tak e more lib era l and extended views of the interests of the university. He, therefore, proposed to omit the words " the con gregation hereinafter mentioned," and insert " the con vocation." Viscount CANNING said it was quite impossible for the Government to accede to tlis amendment. After stating the considerations by which the Government had been led to propose the clause as it stood, he observed that the argument of the noble earl was the same as that on which universal suffrage was advocated in refe rence to Parliamentary representation. He contended that no body could be so fit to decide on questions of teaching and discipline as the great body of tutors and professors resident in the university. If the opposite plan were adopted, the members of convocation would be summoned to Oxford rather to support the party they espoused than to give an independent vote. The Earl of MA_LMESBURY said that the speech of the noble viscount was just such a one as might have been expected some 70 or 80 years ago, if the subject of Parliamentary reform had been mooted. His noble friend saw some analogy between the amendment and universal suffrage. Well, he (Lord Malmesbury) should not object to universal suffrage if the country were peopled only with adult and well-educated men. But who were the persons of whom the noble viscount was afraid ? Why, men who had been educated like himself and with himself (for he believed the noble lord was a a Master of Arts) ; at all events, if he was not, many of their lordships were ; and yet the noble lord compared them with an unfortunate class whom they were dis cussing the other nig-ht— the dog cart drivers, (Laughter.) The Bishop of OXFORD said the noble earl who had just spoken appeared to be under an entire misapprehen sion as to the objects of those who supported the clause. They did not wish the give the government of the university to congregation ; but they simply proposed to entrust to it one special function —namely, the elec tion of the hebdomadal council, which was itself only the executive body of the university, fur every measure must ultimately come before convocation. Neither h•ad they argued that convocation was unfit to perform that duty; they only said that it was less fit than congregation, which would be composed of men whose daily occupation was university instruction and discipline. (Hear.) Con gregation would also possess another advantage ; it would be less liable to those sudden afflatus of new theo ries, to which non-resident members of the university who usually took their opinions on trust, were occa sionally subject. He thought therefore that congrega tion would be the safest body to entrust with the duty proposed to be committed to it. He believed that all the principal organs of opinion were obliged to resort to the resident members of the universities for their ablest writers—a most remarkable circumstance, and one that completely disproved the idea that the residents were men of monkish habits of thought and of contracted views. The fact was, they knew far more of what was passing in the world around them than could possibly be the case with a clergyman who gave himself up to the conscientious performance of the duties of a country parish. At all events„ he protested agamat bringing every member of convocation up to Oxford every three years. (Hear, hear.) The Earl of DERBY said that what he complained of was that measures would not necessarily go before convocation, for it would be in the power of congrega tion to prevent them from ever being submitted to the larger body. AfCersoini;fu rther conversation, the committee d ivided : For "congregation" 99 For "convocation" The clause was then agreed to. Clauses 11-14 were inserted after clause f. On clause 15—" the Vice• Chancellor to make a regis ter of congregation." The Earl of DERBY wished to know whether that register was to be conclusive as to who were members ? Ttie Duke of NEWCASTLE said it was intended to be binding. The Earl of DERBY would suggest to the Govern ment the omission of the latter part of the clause, pro viding- that "if the vice-chancellor failed to comply with the provisions of the section to the satisfaction of the commissioners, the commi , sioners should thereupon carry the same into effect," &c. Viscount CANNING had no objection to the omission of the words "to the sa ti s f act i on of the commissioners. The clause, with this amendment, was agreed to. Clauses 16 to 18 i nc l us i ve were also agree d t o . On clause 19, r e l a ti ng to the promulgat i on o f statutes, The Earl of DERBY said, in his opinion, t h e effect of the clauses on th a t su bj ect, as they then stood, would be to constitut e th e 250 resident members of the univer sity a mere debating society, devoid of any power of proposing amendments. Viscount CANNING dissented from that view. The Bishop of CHICHESTER said he should move the omission of all the words which gave to the congre gation power to constitute themselves an intercepting body between the hebdomadal council and convocation in reference to a statute. After a few words from the Bishop of OXFORD in sup port of the clause, The Bishop of CHICIIESTER said as it did not ap pear likely that he would receive sufficient support, he should withdraw the amendment. The clause as it sto o d was then agreed to ; as were also clauses 20 and 21. On clause 22, providing that the congregation might speak in English, The Earl of DERBY said he thought that in such matters the hebdomadal board ought to have the power of regulating its own proceedings. Viscount CANNING considered it desirable that a minority should have facilities for making its opinions generally known. The clause was then agreed to. On clause 23, The Earl of DERB Y s aid that this c l ause i n t ro d uce d for the first principle, that of the repre sentation of the t t h i e me mi anenroivtyel—aprinciple w hi c h, wh e n in troduced into the Reform Bill , met with u n iversal con demnation. (Hear, hear.) T In all cases the minority must submit to the majority, of which principle they had several examples that night. (Laughter.) There might be some show of reason for the introduction of that principle into the election of members of Parlia ment, because in that case there was party organisation and party division which was not, and which he hoped would not, be the case in congregation. The Duke of NEWCASTLE thought it right to ob viate the possibility of any dominant k Prty having the election of the whole governing body in its hands. He thought the noble earl was mistaken in saying that the principle of the representation of minorities was univer sally condemned. It was misunderstood for some time, but the more it was before the public the more it was appreciated. Lord MONTEAGLE thought the principle of the representation of the minority a wise one. The clause was then agreed to, with the addition of a proviso to the effect that no elector should have more than one vote for each candidate. Clause 24 was agreed to. The Earl of PO WIS moved the following clause after clause 24 : "It shall be lawful for the convocation of the university to provide, if it shall think fit, that votes may be given either personally or by proxies, being members of convocation, authorised by writing, accord ing to the form in the Schedule B to this act annexed, or in a form to the like effect, under the hand of the member of convocation nominating such proxy, at any election of a chancellor of the university or of a burgess to serve in Parliament." The clergy being excluded from becoming members of Parliament; he thought that every facility • s hould be given to them to express their views with regard to those who were to represent them. It was a great check upon that expression, that the members of convocation were compelled to come from distant parts of the country to the university before they could vote. Viscount CANNING said .tho Government were ready to adopt the clause as far as it applied to the chan cellor. With regard to the members for the university, there would, he thought, be a prejudice against its ap plication to them in the other House of Parliament. Lord CAMPBELL said the proposition 'of the noble earl would be a great constitutional innovation. It seemed to him to be highly unconstitutional to vote by proxy for the election of members of Parliament. There might be a change in the administration, or some other great change in the interval between the giving the proxy and the giving the vote. (Hear, hear.) The Earl of CARNARVON said that whilst he be lieved such a conititueacy as that of Oxford was the ceive so good an education as in the colleges. He thought their effect would be absolutely to destroy all discipline in the university. Having stated his views on this subject very fully last evening, he would not say more than that he should offer the utmost opposition to the clause. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE addressed the com mittee in support of the clause, but was nearly inaudible in the gallery. He was understood to say that there was no fear of the system of private halls having any in jurious effect on the discipline of the university. He had looked carefully at the bill, and could not conceive on what ground such apprehensions were expressed. There vcas no greater probability of obnoxious novelties being introduced by these halls than by the existing col leges. On the contrary, the discipline in private halls was necesarily more strict than in colleges. It might be asked, why establish these halls l Because the col leges were overflowing, and numbers were compelled to connect themselves with smaller colleges, where the education was not so efficient. The establishment of private halls would, by stimulating competition, compel these colleges to modify their system, and introduce the necessary improvements. They could only be regarded as a useful and valuable addition to the university, whereby a much greater number of persons would be admitted into the pale of the university, and would par take of the benefits of its instruction. It was said these halls would not be cheaper than the colleges. If they were not cheap they would fail to attract. At Durham there were halls, and they were much cheaper than the colleges. In the interest of the university itself, and of learning, he thought it essential that they should give it every means of extension, and render it, as Lord Bacon said, exempt from the wrongs of time, because suscep tible of perpetual renovation. (Hear, hear.) The Earl of MALMESBURY said the Vice• Cha ncellor would have no power to refuse a license to any person who had mechanically conformed to the doctrines of the Church. The Earl of CARLISLE said the noble earl (Derby) had on the previous night most logically established the connection between this clause and those admitting Dis senters. On that ground he should support this clause, believing that the admission of Dissenters would be an unmixed good to the university, to the Church, and to themselves. (Hear.) But such admission ought not to be merely a nominal one, or one which should operate as an annoyance. He had been, therefore, grieved to hear last night that no exemption from attendance on religious ser vices should be granted • but he was glad to learn th a t th e noble earl (Derby) would not insist on requiring from young men—mere children—on their admission to the university, subscription to a mass of doctrines which were difficult to comprehend. He (Lord Carlisle) had often looked back with something of shame and com punction at the facility and the want of considera tion with which, at that age, he was called upon to adopt at once—to swallow down at one gulp—such a comprehensive system of doctrine. (Hear.) He should be equally loth to impose the still graver mockery of compulsory worship. r He thought that they were bound to retain the provision for these private halls, as the only possible manner of opening retreats where the dis senters, to whom they affected to give admission to the university, might enjoy that privilege with a due regard to their own ease, comfort, and dignity ; and where they might enjoy that liberty of conscience which their lord ships proposed to respect, and from which he hoped they might see many precious fruits. (Cheers.) The Earl of CARNARVON should support the clause, for he thought it combined all the advantages without any of the objections which might justly be brought against other plans intended to effect simil,r objects. The noble earl opposite had argued that these private halls would never be able to compete, even in the matter of cheapness, with the larger and endowed colleges ; but the Scotch and continental system of pri vate lodging-houses in the universities, had at least been successful on the score of economy. It was said, again, that the halls would be injurious to the discipline of the university ; but that he must also dispute. Amongst the other beneficial results that might be anticipated from the proposal would ba the replacing of the system of private tuition by a far sounder and more legitimate practice. It would also lead to the real and practical revival of the professorial system, without which, in deed, he felt that the private halls would never work well. Lastly, as those halls would be the result of pri vate enterprise, they would have an effectual guarantee for their succes s . Th e y wou ld a d m it of gradual intro duction and of extension as the wants of the age might require ; and he should, therefore, gladly give his sup port to the clause. (Loud cheers.) Lord LYTTELTON said that as the subject of these private halls had a considerable hearing upon the ad mission of dissenters into the universities, he would take this opportunity, rather than a later one, of expressing ' his views upon that important question. For his own part he was prepared to assent to the admission of dis senters, so far as this bill proposed to do it ; that was to say, he was ready to admit them to the university as distinct from the present colleges. (Hear, hear.) He thought that this would be a wise and proper conces sion ; but, at the same time, he could certainly not assent to the claim which had been put forward for ad mission as a matter of absolute right. That claim had been grounded on the statement that the universities were national institutions ; and that the Dissenters, being an integral part of the nation, were therefore entitled to avail themselves of them. But the univer sities were national institutions only in the sense in which the Church of England was a national institu tion ; and, therefore, to argue that the universities ought to be thrown open to Dissenters, would be as absurd as to contend that Dissenters ought to be eligible to fill Church livings. (Hear, hear.) The real ques tion was, what had been the wishes and intentions of the founders ? It had, indeed, been said that the Refortna- Lion had introduced an altogether new state of things, and then came the old question, whether the pr-Refor mation Church was or was not identical with the Church of the present day. Now, he contended that the Refor mation had not effected such changes in the doctrines and discipline of the Church as to make it a new one ; and he thought it was a mere assumption to say that the founders would not have assented in common with the great majority of the clergy and people of the coun try by the changes which were made by the Church in her own formularies and discipline. (Hear, hear.) The universities, therefore, ought to go with the Church ; and while he denied that the Dissenters had the least claim to admission as a matter of right, he must confess his inability to perceive how their exclusion was a griev ance. They had already one university, and as they in cluded many persons of great opulence, they were able to found colleges of their own. Still it would no doubt be an advantage to them to be admitted to Oxford and Cambridge, and as their admission would involve no disadvantage to the Church he should not oppose it. (Hear, hear.) He differed altogether from the noble earl opposite in thinking that they might be safely ad mitted, provided that they were not allowed to form a distinct and recognised body. He thought that the Cambridge plan did not work well ; at least, when he was there, for he had seen not only Roman Catholics and Dissenters, but even Jews, attending divine worship in the college chapels. He thought that the colleges were domestic institutions ; and that they ought, much more than elementary schools, to supply moral training. But that training could not be administered unless it was based upon definite religious doctrine. He thought that some test ought to be taken from students on matriculation ; . but whatever might be the proper form of that test, he was convinced that signature of the Thirty-nine Articles was not. (Hear, hear.) It appeared to him that that test ought to be of the same nature as the terms of communion re quired from a young layman. But the Thirty-nine Articles were anything rather than the rudiments of religious teaching. (Hear, hear.) He should support the clause. The Earl of DERBY said that the question had been' put on a very different footing by the speeches of the noble lord and the noble earl opposite. The noble Marquis had treated with scorn the idea that any danger was to be apprehended from the clause ; but now it was avowed that the Dissenters had a right to claim admis sion without beir , amenable to the disciplin e of the Church of England.' It would, no doubt, be difficult, under any circumstar.ces, for the Commissioners to frame regulations for these private halls ; but one of the things which the bill expressly stated as the object of those rules was the attendance of the students on public worship. Yet they were told that the inmates of the private halls were not to attend on the worship of the Church at all. (Hear, hear.) Nor would there he the least security as to the character of ant thethe halls ; for the Vice-Chancellor would hav e to gr licenses as a matter of course. (Hear, hear.) He would call the attention of the right rev. bench that the favoured ob ject of this clause was the establishment of separate dissenting colleges its the very heart of the university. After a few words of explanation from Lords OAR LISLt and LYTTELTON, The Duke of NEWCASTLE said that the noble earl had entirely misrepresented the Government. The masters of private halls must be, originally, at least, me mbers of the Church of England, and if they de parted from that Church their licenses mi g ht be with drawn, Th e intention with w hi c h these .clauses were introduced was simply that which had been announced, na mely, the facilitating of education, an d th e destroy ing of any monopoly on the part of colleges which was injurious to educa!tion. The noble earl said on the previous night that, so far from introducing a poo rer class of students, th e c l ause wou ld h ave precisely the opposite effect. He observed that the servi tors of Christchurch would be admitted for a guinea a week, forgetting that they were supported partly by eleemosynary assistance. The whole number of servitors was ten or a dozen at the outside. In speaking on the subject of expense the noble earl overlooked the fact that the social habits of the young men were the chief source of expense ; and in the absence of sumptuary laws he (the Duke of Newcastle) knew no means of remedying the evil except the establishment of private balls. As regarded discipline, he apprehended that the halls would have an advantage over the colleges. What was the in- ternal discipline of the colleges ! The students were obliged to attend certain lectures, and to be within doors by 12 o'clock at night; but the authorities would no more think of entering their private rooms than they would think of entering any of their lordships' houses. Nothing like domestic discipline could be said to exist. He could not understand 'now those who advocated the system which existed at Cambridge, with regard to pri vate lodgings, could object to the establishment of these halls at Oxford. In the one case the domestic discipline might be of the most complete character ; in the other it amounted to nothing at all. He had risen to defend the Government against the assertion made by the noble earl in his last speech, that the avowed intention and object of the clause was to place within the bosom of the university nests of Dissenters who would make them selves antagonistic to the principles of the university— in short to place within the precincts of that learned in stitution a body of men whose sole object would be its eventual destruction. Lord CAMPBELL said it was a mistake on the part of the noble earl (Derby) to suppose that the Vice- Chancellor would be compelled to grant a license. If an application were made to him (Lord Campbell) to compel the granting of a license, he should refuse to ac cede to it. Theiriertlships then divided. For the clause Against it . Clauses 28 to 30 were agreed to. On clause 31, giving colleges power to amend statutes with respect to eligibility to headships, &c., Lerd WYNFORD said that in his experience he never saw any great benefits arising from the teaching of professors. In his time very few of the professors, except the divinity professors, had any attendants at their lectures. It seemed to him wholly inconsistent with the designs of the founders and donors that the college emoluments should be estranged from the col leges and given to professors ; and this being his opinion he should move the omission of the words which would have that effect. The Earl of DERBY said there was certainly nothing to encourage him to propose any amendment in this bill, because, whatever might have been the case elsewhere, there at least the government were able to do what they pleased. At the same time, not concurring altogether in the view of his noble friend who had just spoken, he should propose an amendment, for the purpose of mak ing the enacting part of the 'clause agree with the pre amble. He proposed that the alterations to be made by the colleges should be subject to " the consent of the vi sitor." He also proposed to insert the words " so that the same be not inconsistent with the main design of the founders." As regarded the jurisdiction of the commis sioners, he would observe that it was desirable that as soon as a good scheme had been devised it should cease and determine, and be moved an amendment to that ef fect. He did not intend to put their lordships to the trouble of dividing on these or any other amendments, but be felt bound to submit them to their lordships. Viscount CANNING said, in the case of three of the colleges at Oxford, the visitors were prohibited from con senting to any alteration. In the case of Exeter College the bishop of th e di ocese of Exeter had refused to sanc tion any change in the statutes, and he believed the noble earl himself (Earl of Derby) in his capacity of visitor of Pembroke had taken a similar course. He could not agree to the amendment proposed by the noble lord opposite (Lord Wynford). But he proposed, on the part of the Government, to add after the word "emoluments," in the 4th line of the clause, the words " other than fellow ships or studentships." The effect of the amendment would be,to limit the operation of the 34th clause. (The clause referring to the retention of the preference of schools, which was introduced by Mr. R. Palmer.) The Earl of DERBY said he had a great objection to the limitation to which his noble friend proposed in the 34th clause—a clause the House of Commons thought it right on two occasions to affirm in order to protect the schools. But as he was aware that in the present state of the house, whatever his noble friend proposed, or op posed, he was able to carry, he would not waste their lordships' time by dividing the house against the amend ment. The noble viscount said last night that the designs of the founders was to benefit the colleges, and not the schools. He believed that was a perversion of the real state of the case. In the case of Abingdon School the design of the founder was to benefit the town and not Pembroke College, with which it was connected. The depressed state of some of the schools arose from their exemption limn the ordinary rules with regard to the taking of honours, and not from any restriction with regard to scholarships and fellowships. The Earl of WINCIIELSEA said that the bill was a gross violation of all justice. Henceforth no man would leave a farthing to any charitable institution, for there would be no security that his bounty would not be di verted into a different channel, before he was well in the grave. He never knew a bill which did so much vio lence to all justice as this cursed bill. (Laughter.) It was the beginning of the separation of Church and State. The first day that he took a seat in that house —now some 26 years ago—the noble duke (Richmond) told him that he was an ultra-reformer both in Church and State. (Laughter.) On that occasion he declared it as his decided opinion that if ever that right rev. bench ever gave itself a political character, the time would come when it would be the feeling of Englishmen that it would he for the interest of the Church to separate that bench from their lordships' house—(laughter)—and that its occupants should retire to their respective dioceses. (Laughter.) He believed that day was not far distant — (laughter)—for they might depend upon it there was a strong feeling springing up in the country that it would be decidedly for the interests of the Church if those right rev. lords confined themselves more to their spiri tual duties and less to civil and political matters. (Laughter.) He pledged himself to say that if he were to submit a motion for the removal of the right rev, bench that table would not support the petitions in its favour. (Loud laughter.) It was because he was a friend to the Church, which lie valued more than life itself, that lie spoke thus. (Laughter.) The Bishop of OXFORD said he would not go to the trouble of answering the speech which they had just heard. He had far too deep and refined a reverence for the honesty, piety, and holy intentions of the right rev• lord—(laughter) —he had far too sincere a respect for the feeling which prompted the noble earl to make the remarks he addressed to the house, to treat it in the only way he could then treat it. The noble earl said that this was the first step towards the ruin of the Church, whereas, if he had not mistaken the noble earl on many former occasions, they must have got over a great many steps of the kind before. (Laughter.) This was not purely a political question, as the noble earl seemed to think, and for which he censured them for taking part. If he thought that the result of this bil' would be to sever the connection between the Univer sity of Oxford and the church, he (and he believed he might say the same for his right rev, brethren) would endure far extremer penalties than the noble earl de nounced against them before they took part in any vote that would have that result. It was because he believed that the church would be benefited by the measure, as well as the university, that he supported it. (Hear, hear.) With regard to the clause itself, whilst he ad mitted that the design of the founders with regard to h the smaller schools was to benefit the localities in which they were established, he maintained that the object particularly the case with regard to the larger foundations was to with colleges. That was that if to Saint Mary, Winchester. He wasopinionftheefounders by the case of Abingdon, bingrdeospt:tcwthoinchs respect fithe they interpreted the intentions o r h r e y benefitng out theof thein lsinghhntnlosf themselves,experience and,it v d the • ' • which now prevented tentions of the foun te d d ers ln and what was the effect of the if wholesometthheey stimulus competi tion depress the school. why 7 o th u e ld ref b o e re f , or c at e ar s l ch_ r o ef o ,e l r s f . t wedasto, p t t the noble i s n e i n o n t b t l s e h y e s s e t e havebeen so waste fullyded as in theholding out of a close fellow ship expanded being a benefit Because the money could hardly • in a college as to a school like this.

A single fellowship of that kind therefore would hold out a very slight inducement to the parents in the locality to send their children to that school. But if the 10,000/. went t o establish three scholarships to be held for three years, one of which would be vacant every year, that would give a far greater stimulus to parents to send their children to the school. (Hear, hear.) He therefore maintained that they would be best carrying out the intentions of the founders by substituting such a system for the present one. (Hear.) After a few words from Lord WYNFORD, the clause with the amendment proposed by Viscount Canning, was agreed to. Clause 32 was agreed to. On clause 33, The Earl of DERBY objected that it passed over the powers of the visitor. His voice ought to be heard when it was proposed to alter the statutes and regula tions of colleges. If he had not a veto he ought at least to have the power of making objections ; and if lie declared, in conjunction with the majority of the govern ing body, that any proposed regulation was inconsistent with the interests of the college and the intentions of the founder, they ought to be sufficient to prevent its taking effect. He merely threw out this suggestion for the consideration of the Government. The Duke of NEWCASTLE said that in many of the colleges the statutes . themselves precluded the visitor from exercising such a power as the noble earl proposed. As to the intentions of the founder that was a question that had been already discussed. Some of the coile g os e had been instituted by the founders expressly for the purpose of opposing the principles of Wickliffe and the The Bishop of OXFORD regretted that these clauses had been inserted in the bill, for he should have preferred that the university should have been left to grant the admission of dissenters as a matter of grace and favour. The object of the clauses was only to remove those ob stacles which had hitherto prevented the university from dealing with the question. But did the noble earl think that the admission of dissenters, and even of Jews into the colleges would be a safer thing for the church or the university than to admit them by means of private halls ? (Hear.) The Earl of DERBY considered that the admission of Dissenters into colleges on the understanding that they were to submit to their discipline, did not alter the cha racter either of those colleges or the university. ' But he considered that if Dissenters were to be placed in halls by themselves, and exempted from the general religious teaching of the university, it would be a great blow upon the character of the university. What he should have been willing to have acceded to was the extension of the Cambridge system to Oxford. The Bishop of ST. ASAPH should have been glad to have had subscription to the Thirty-nine Articles at ma triculation abolished ; not so much with reference to the case of Dissenters, but because he did not think it was proper to ask a boy coming from school to say that he assented to them. When he had to matriculate a young man, he used to say to him, " Yon, are not going to' -as sent to the Thirty-nine Articles because you understand them—(laughter) —b ut you are going to declare that you have no objection to them." He thought that the exa mination in the Thirty-nine Articles was one of the most valuable exerci,es in the university, for young men often came there very ignorant of Christianity, and very indis posed to study it. He had known cases in which a man had on his deathbed thanked God that he had been com pelled to study the Articles, because he had then for the first time obtained that knowledge which concerned sal vation. What he should have proposed was that the university should grant only honorary degrees to persons who were indisposed to sign the Articles. The Duke of ARGYLL wished to impress upon their lordships the importance of any religious body placing the most liberal construction on their rules, so as to admit Dissenters, provided that the general management and discipline were not altered. He thought the clause would very materially strengthen the Church of Eng land. The Earl of HARROWBY supported the clause. The Bishop of RIPON expressed his dissent from the clause. After some further discussion, the clause was agreed to. On clause 46 a division was taken. For the clause Against it 47-26 The clause was then added to the bill. The rest of the clauses were agreed to, and the house resumed. The other orders of the day having been disposed of, their lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—(YESTERDAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' amendment to the Rannow Reclamation Bill and the Traethbach Bridge and Road Bill were con ' sidered and agreed to. On the motion that the Lords' amendments to the Middlesex Industrial Schools Bill be considered and agreed to, Lord D. STUART moved that the consideration of the amendments be postponed until this day three months. He made that motion because the Lords' had struck out of the bill the proyisions which it originally contained for enabling offenders to obtain religious in struction, notwithstanding that th e y di ssen t e d f rom th e Established Church. Offenders of all denominations were entitled to the consolations of their own religious teachers, and it was nothing less than an ac t o f bi go t ry and intolerance to refuse them that consolation. There were other amendments of the kind which he objected to, but it was the striking out of this provision relative to the religious instruction that he principally found fault with, and since the amendment made by the Lords had made the bill worse, which he had always objected. to, he had no alternative but to move that the Lords' amendments be considered this day three months. Sir J. V. SHELLEY seconded the amendment, be- Having that the reformation of juvenile offenders should be made the subject of a general Government measure, and not dealt with in an isolated manner, throwing the expense of the reformatory schools upon the particular districts in which they were established. The time had ;one by for tolerating religious bigotry, it should be discountenanced no matter from what denomination it came ; and be trusted the house would reject these amendments of the Lords, as they were a complete embodiment of the spirit of Protestant bigotry directed against the civil and religious liberty of Roman Catholics. Mr. NEWDEGATE supported the amendments, believing that it was at variance with the interest of the State to recognise the authority of Roman Catholic priests, even in a private bill, as this one undoubtedly was. The bill, as it had been amended, would be most useful and salutary. Mr. J. BA LL Opposed the passing of the bill with the clause appended to it, by the committee of the Lords. Sir G. GREY explained the course taken by the com mittee of the Lords in reference to this bill. He read a portion of 7th Geo. IV. c. 74, which enacted that three chaplains shall be appointed for every county prison in Ireland, one Protestant, one Presbyterian, and one Roman Catholic, and which further provided for the celebration of divine worship according to each of those three forms of worship every Sunday in those prisons. He was prepared to disagree with the Lords' amendment, but he was not disposed to support the motion of Lord D. Stuart as it would have the effect of rejecting the bill together. At the same time, seeing the prospect there was of the passing of the Juvenile Offenders Bill which contained the provision struck' out of this bill, if the house thought the Lords would not be induced to recon sider their decision, perhaps the best course would be to reject these amendments altogether. Mr. MILES opposed the motion to reject the bill. Lord D. STUART said after what had fallen from the right hon. baronet the Secretary of State for the colo nies, he was prepared to change his motion for another, namely, that the house disagree with the Lords' amend ment. Mr. M. MILNES hoped the bill would be withdrawn. Mr. LUCAS argued that the object of the Lords' amendments was to change the character of the bill from a reformatory bill to a proselytising bill, and therefore he called upon the house not to reject the bill alto gether,n but simply to disagree wit h the ,Lords' am d. ments. Lord D. STUART, as the member in charge of the bill, begged the house to all ow him to debate was another illustration ofreligiousdi ffer. way of ue f ase that legislation. co ur s e ( w H o e u a I r d , how remark that this in the allhe asked the house to do was, not e h n ea ce r. s ) co H nld ow s e stand in to reject the Lords' ame ndments, b e tantamount to throwing out the bill for the session. Mr. ADDERLEY said, the clause which had been struck out by the Lords was wholly impracticable; if' it had remained in the bill the measure would have been useless, and although he was by no means deficient in religious tolerance, he thought the Lords had acted wisely in rejecting the clause. (Hear, hear.) The clause was simply this ; it empowered the children of all denominations to be instructed by their own re ligious teachers, according to the religious persuasion of their parents, so that, if a child's parents were to pro fess infidelity, thi s c l ause wou ld i ns i st upon the ch ild being brought up in these reformator y schools to entertain the same opinions. (Cheers.) After some observations from Colonel Blair, Mr. Williams, and Mr. Dunlop, the amendment that the Lords' amendments be considered this day three months was withdrawn. A. portion of the Lords' amendments, which were of a verbal nature, were then agreed to. Lord D. STUART moved to disagree with the Lords' amendments, which prevented children of other religious denominations than the Established Church from having divine worship celebrated in these schools according to their own faith. Sir J. PAKINGTON said if the house rejected these amendments the bill was lost for this session. Lord J. RUSSELL did not think so, the Lords might be induced to ;reconsider their amendments, and since he thought children of all denominations were en titled to the religious instruction of their own pastors he could not agree with the Lords in their amendaient.A.
