HOUSE_ OF COMM. INS.

hION DA V...-Tll;ol..dbitorlkneral moved t he micond Magog of the
University Tests Rill, which gave dicta a long debate, In which
Mr. Glad H Gladstone, Mr. ardy, and Mr. Denman took part. The
rejection of the measure teas moved by Mr. Walpole. but uteri
a division the amendment was negatived by a majority of Ire
The House afterward. resumed the consideration of the
• applemeidary omelets to the Irish Land Land NIL ahil the
' measure passed through committee, and wax ordered to be
report.] on 'rhumba.
TI INDA 1 . Mr. Vl' ATKIN Wituasts brourfht forward his motion
for ilie,tablishing the church in Wales, and applying the
endownienta, after making prinision for all vested Interests,
to th 9 support if a national and tunknominetional iptern of
education in the principalits.
Mr. titsrenoss opposel the resolution, first in, the ground
that there sae neither the same disproportion beta-ten the
numbefl of the Choreh and other denomination• 1,, Walcs or
in Ireland, nor the same bitternew of feeling on the part of
the majority bovards thn Establishment ; and, second, because
the case of Wales could not be uepasaled from that of England
at large. hence the motion was One for the disaslabliehment
of the Established Chong' of England. Into such a .cruude
the Government mod aieuredly would not cutter. If there
were three who considered that national egablialunente were
opposed, uneer all circunetancot, to the principle of the
.(Isridian religion, IV end his colleagues did not belong to the
number of auch persons. lt wan their duty to look at the mac
of the Church of England as they found it; and at prevent It
wax, as far as he could judge, the religion of a considerable
majority of the people of this countm fdo not eery Inv hon.
and learned friend. or the hon. member for Merthyr Tysivil, or
any other nem who ever takes in hand the work of dleadahltsb-
lag the Church al England. Eves if it were as fit to he done
as l think it unfit, them Is a difficulty Wore which the buldtvt
man would real& If le ail very well au lOW SA we deal with
'bane declarations put upon the notice paper of this HOUK',
of what might be done or ought to be done; but only go up to
the waits and gates, and look at the way In which atone is built
upon alone, on the way In which the foundations have been dug,
and the way they go down into the earth, and coneider I.y
what tools, what artilk ry, 'you can bring that fabric to the
around. I luso. the difliculdes, and I an, not pretend, in
any shape or form, te encourage the creation .4 expectationn
which it would be moat guilty, mod unworthy, moat dishonour-
able On our part to entertain, hot we should convey a virtual
pledge. We cannot go in that direction ; weilo not intend to
do a,; we deprecate it, and wa should regard It an a national
miechief.
After some remarks from Mr. 0. Moto az and Mr. Soot P MILD,
heth against the motion, though the former sympathized with
Its object, the House divided. The resolution was then re-
jected by SO/ to TGA4I.
The next order on dapper gal'. Aloe to • remarkable 'eerie-
It waa a motion of Mr. W. Fromm for Imre to Lilo, in. bill
to repeal the Contagious Dumas Acts, and that gentlemau,
having presented petitioto In boom of the measure, bad just
limn to opeak to hie motion, when Mr. Cinsueord pow, nopf,.e
that there were " danger," present. There were cella.
but Kr. Craufurd pendated, and the Speaker had nd alterna-
tive but to crier the House to be cleared. The tteportere',
Speaker's, and other galleries, including that of the Wiese,
were then emptied of their occupant% two of the ladles resist-
ing indapnantly, and id length yielding to a peremptory intima-
tion that if they thU not go quietly they would be turned out.
The liottAt then debated the question In secret for four
hour.. Mr. tale,' It appears, argued that the evil wan a
moral one, and could aril be cured by legislation. Dr. Playfair
combated the argunseute derived from the religious affect
of the queetion. Mr. Henley echdeenned these secret,
dirty, underhand proeeedln,ge. Mr. Bruce and that inquiry
upon the subject ousht to be full, and announced that the
Government were prepared to authorize the Ohne of a Royal
Commimlon. Sir John Paklngton thought the coune taken by
Site Government *AA a weak concession to flctitiout clamour.
Mr. Cardwell said he was prepared to ahow the benefits which
had resulted from those Act.. Mr. Gladstone, answering an
appeal by 11r. Wines and other membere, pronnsod that the
moral aspects of the question should not be hot eight id, and
that men of weight, knowledge, and authority, enjoying the
eonfideoce of the community, would he selected for she Com-
mission. 11.. join.] tinder in the geaeral condemnation of
Mr_Craidoni's conduct. . . .

M stortstdv. --kr. Ilibbert moved the socond reading .4 his
Clerical Disabilities Bill, the object of which is to repeal the
old rule "Once • priori alter. • priest." Six months after

of • deed of nit's-anon before he can hgld any Itefeement.
Mr. J. D. Leila seconded the motion, remarking that three
dames of persons were by law excluded from a wet S that
Houle. rig. felon., Scotch peeni. and pertons who had taken
holy tinier.. Mr. Wrangle, urged that 'safeguards must be
provided to prevent too much " chopping and changing
about." Mr. Bereeford IfirDe preferred that, without attempt-
ing to deal with holy orders. they should simply elec
from chil disabilities, extending that relief freely and hamar-
Melly to all.
Mr. Bouvalug, supported the meaware while, an the part
of the Government. Mr. arum aftented to the second reading
jut with the reservation that some of the clauses would earful re
sareful contideration.

Mr. hrwornan, Sir L Palk, Sir U, Croft, and Mr. Cross
opposed the bill. Mr. lienley feared that it the bill pawned
cleiyymen would be (enlisted to go out of orders for six
month's during the hunUng wawa. They would then throw
their gown., don the pink," and afterwards revoking, go
hack to black for their clerical duties.
On • division, the second reading wan carried by IV to 66.
Mr. P. A. Tatum's Bill for the Abolition of the O'sma Lew.
was next discussed. Mr. Taylor was very seen on baUtse-
-4,oting, se substituting mere daughter for healthful
exercise. In 1•13 the number of edemas, against the
Game Lawn seas 4,1;51. whereas In 1569 that number had

of pneehers who hal taken refuge in trem being shot down,

Ilk.ll wan shown be the late Mantels of Salisbury's declaration,
that the only 0,110,11 he ease to hi. gamekeepers were neser to

Mr. Ihtaitissox, in /*tousling the motion, asserted that by
maintaining tin Game Law. Parliament wAus responsible for all
the Istuhlng in the country, and indirectly, thenstore, for all
the.crime to which it was the Bre step.
. .

Mr. liardmatle, who moved the p4slous ,rueetlon. declared
that the &Vega] ovib ot preserving had been greatly exaggerated.

Mr. GIALZDSTURT (rend it dithoult, If not inapomible

member for Leioastet. If this debate were to be cos-
butted be hoped it would be discussed in that spirit
which usually animated the deliberations of the Home
of Common.; but be wea bound 4to exprees his opinioa
that the hon. member fortLeioester had trespassed some-
what beyond the boundary of fair political and personal
criticism —(hear, bear). The bon. gentleman had intro-
duced extraneous matter into the debate, and made
grave charges and imputations against • large and
tnfitiential portion of the community. The hon. gentle-
man had ventured to insinuate that the justices of the
peace In various (aunties and boroughs did not
administer justice fairly and impartially to many of
their fellowcountrymen who were brought dnder their
jurisdiction. Now, he repelled that insinuation, and
defied the hon. gentleman to corroborate his statements
by evidence, and, on the part of the justices of the
peace, he would now tall the boo. gentleman to hie
fame that they regarded them charges and insinuations
as a direct Meth to thee' body, and as • cruel libel on
their tharaciter—(chiters). He wished to say a few
words on the subject under diseasaion, but ho should
not have ventured to do so had be not had a kind of
inkling in his mind that, while the House had • holy
horror of hearing long and prosy discourses from
members who talked about mammas they did not under-
stand—(laughter)—it was always willing to listen to any
member who stoke on • subject with which be was
cenvormat—thear, heath Having Mena game-preserver
more or less for upward, of 20 years, and having during
all that period mixed in • friendly and ingather manner
with many tenant farmers, he felt quite equal to the
occasion, ready to grapple with the facts adduced by
the member for. Leicester, to deny his ststementa, to
refute his argument,, to !annihilate his doctrines, and,
lotus, to shut him up altogether- (theenand laughter).
On what indichuses did the came preservers stead
arraigned before that House! The first had reference
to the injury alleged to have been done to the tenant
farmers by the over-preacnatioa of game and the conse-
quent ill-feeliog which arose between landlord and
, tonaut. The second was bmed on the great temptation
, held out to the laboaring man to take "what isn't
and the third was founded au the immense
amount of food which was devoured by hares,
pheasants, and rabbits, instead of going into the
stomasha of men, women, and chitdren—(langlitor).
Now, this was entirely a question between landlord and
temet, and he should not proelaim his opinion so
strongly if he mild not fortify it by conelosive evidence.
What said Sir Robert Peel on the subject! He only
quoted from recollection, but he had a capital memory
--(laughter). What objection," said Sir Robert Peel.
" can there possibly be to a tenant, before taking •
farm, making strict conditions with respects to gam?
What possible obstruction can stand in the way of any
tenant, whether be be • tenant-at-will or under • lame,
from making an expresa stipulation with the landlord
that he shall not let the game, but that the tenant
shall have the exclusive control over it!" Sir Robert
Peel, truly said that the remedy wad esti:ell in the
hands of those who made their contracts before taking
their farms. The hoe member's statement about the
ill-feeling existing betweeo landlord and tenant showed
that he either had no landed property, or, if he had,
that he never went shooting on it—(leuniter) ; for, of
all the 365 days in the year, the one to which the
tenant farmer looked forward with most pleasure was
that on which his landlord came to take, day's redrew.

TELEGRAPHS.

To tko Editor.

Cs lan directed by the PostrageWr-General to
„um." to you the following remarks in the hope that
you will give them publicity in your paper.
- The Telegraphs of the United Kingdom are now the
property of the nation, and every member of the oom•
munity is interested in their Inaintenanee and peeper-
tratioo. They are subject to continual injury from the
wanton attacks of idle and miecheivous persons, chiefly '
boys, who amuse themselves by thieving atones at
the inimlatent on the telegraph poste.
The following statements will show how great lathe
,Innt,,,ta done to the Telegranh. of the nation by this
