Mr: f:iiiNKEY could not understand why they wore

only three Glasse, and the Chamellor of the Exchequer
proposed to postpone one. He thought they ought not to

Sir F. CROSSLEY mold not see what was the use of now
;eosin, the two unopposed clauses. The bill dash with
mighty interests, and it had been brought in under a false
title. It would be much more convenient that the oaths
measure should some before the house on a future iiight.
Mr. H. LEWIS also protested against the bill being

Sir M. FARQUHAR said that the great ismusoce
oases would not be affected by the memos, but a large

office no fewer than 175,000 Parsons were neural: in area'

If the right hon. gentleman wished to pose the first clam

ponied ood Monday.
Mr. \ISAMU thought the opposition unnameable,
and he hoped the Chancellor of the Exchequer would not
be deigned by the speeches which had been delivered against
the proper of the measure.
Mr. NEWDEOATE said the principle in the mooed
dame might be objectionable ; then if so, why should it be
connected with the third clause? The right Imo. gentleman
no doubt desired to act kindly, but granting that it wee
certain that this bill had created the greatest alarm through-
out the country, he bopod fortkor orplooationtrotdd be
given to the boom. (Hear, hear.)
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said be had
been asked why he bad combined two distinct subjects in
the same bill, and his answer was to be found in the history
of previous legislation upon the subject. Hs was prepared
to detach the two questions in considering the bill, and if
the bones would agree to pass the uncontested clauses, they
could proceed with the life biennium clause on Monday.
If, however, there was any opposition to that course, he
would defer the committee upon the bill until Monday.
After some observations from Mr. H.
Lord PALMERSTON suggested that the house should go
into committee, and at once report progress, so that the
house might go into committee on Monday without farther
discrusion.
Mr. POWELL declined to withdraw his amendment.

OXFORD AND OAMBRIDOE ATHLETIC SPORTS.
OXFORD, FRIDAY Evoinon.
As the fixture for the Oxford and Cambridge athletic
epode approaches, the interest of the public is the events in-
creases, and there is • general desire that they may ems off
without let or hindrance. The fine open weather to-day has
had • very beeefirial effect on the ground, and, though "heavy
going," it will be better than might be anticipated from the
recent rains. If,. Laws, of Cambridge, and • host of his
fellowool*Mos, have arrived to-day, and to-morrow morn.
ing • sperial train from Cambridge will bring • more mime-
. roes body of Coombs. There seems a desire to beck the
° light blue," to win the majority of the Gram ; but as one
of those—vie., the long jump, is a certainty, the Oxonians
are shy, although the "high jump" may be almost looked
upon u foregone conclumon on the part of Oxford. The
mile race engrosses most attention, sod from the time
taken by the champions of both Universities it bobs a good
thing for Mr. Uwe, whose partisans Sr. backing him freely.
The 100 yards nice, the quarter-mile race, the 120 yards
hurdle-race, the 230 yards hurdle.race, and steeplechase
(the remaining event') would puzzle the most accurate
observer, and until the fiat of the judge goes forth it will be
• difficult task to point to a winner. The sports will com-
mence as soon se possible after the arrival of the special,"
so that the opportunity of witnessing them and returning
to Cambridge the same evening will not be lad.

MATROPOLrf AN BOARD OP WORKS. —The weekly
meeting of the board was held yesterday at their palm,
Spring-gardens ; Mr. Thwaites in the chair. The &arms
read a letter from the authorities of St. Thomas's Hospital,
stating that the sum of money stipulated in the provi-
sional agreement for the purchase of the land at Stancate
had been paid into the bank in their joint names. The
report of the Building Aet, Ate., Committee was brought
up, recommending that the line of thoroughfare
extending from the Bull and Gate Tavers,
Kentish-tons-road, northward, to Swaine'elanie, in the
parish of St. Pancras, be named Highcateroad. The re-
commendation was agreed to. The committee likewise
recommended that the new porno, of King.street, Covent-
garden, leading from New-street to Loog-acre, be named
Garrick-street. The recommendation was adopted. The En-
gineer presented his usual monthly report on the progress of
the Main Drammen works. Mr. Hal/moved that the woomery
steps be taken for obtaining, if possible, the Mention of
clauses in the Holborn Valley Improvement Bill now before
parliament, far the removal of the boons on the north side
of Middle-row out of the funds proposed to ho raised, or in
failure thereof, that • recommeodation be made to the
committee to whom the bill has been referred to obtain the
removal of the houses in Middle-row, and that the solicitor
be so instructed. The Chairman said he saw a difficulty in
proceeding in the way engirded, as notices had not been
served on the owners of property in Middle-row. Mr.
Di/lancer said he believed that the proposed Holborn-hill
viaduct would be useless if Middle-row remained. After
some further disousaiou, the motion was negatived by a
majority of 12 to 7. A recommendation was brought up
from the Streets Committee that, in cocaideration of the
Marred duties of the superintending architect, and the
apportionment of • of the establishment chines
of the board to the 1 imee Embankment and Manion-
hotisestreot fond, his rimy be increased from SOW. to
1,000/. per annum This lad to • long discussion. bat eveotie
ally the motion was carried by • mejonty of 29 to 4. The
rest of the business was disposed of, and the board ad-
journed.
