Mr. ORlPPlTliegieiLs;k the Secretary to the Tree-
eery whether, in •ny arrangement that had been made for the
male or leue of Berkelsy-house to the Metropolitan Board of
Works, care had bee• taken that sufficient space be reserved
oat of the premises to •flow of • carriage entrance being
made from Cockspur-street into the roadway surrounding St.
lantee's Park.

ti.I:i.IIAMILTON-1 am not aware that it hi in
°attempted= to mike a carriage road from Cooluipar-street
to St. James's Park, and no such arrangement has been
_ pro
Tided for In the lave of Berkeley-house by the Beard of.
Works. An errangement has bees made by which the foot-
path will bo widened two feet, and if on a future occasion it
is determined to make a carriage mad into St. James's Park,
that can be done by widening the space on each side on Lind
the property of the government.
TRB LAND TRANSPORT CORPS.

Lord A. ilifilEMiiiiii;triecltorsittliS Secretary
of State for War if the report of the committee on the Land
Transport Corps had ODOM under the consideration of her
Majesty's government ; and, if so, whether her Majesty's go-
vemment were prepared to carry out the recommendation of
the committee, and to grant to the calms of the Land Trans-
port Corps the usual rate of half-pay of the ranks they held
at the period of the disbandment of the corps 1,
. .

Glimiesl PEEL—The report of the ormuniittee is now under
the consideration of the government ; but its recommenda-
tions involve an expense which is not provided for in any
estimate for the present year, and it will be necemary to refer
the matter to the Treasury. I should be the last person to
keep any one out of what was his due. and I have no doubt
that the recommendation will be carried out.

Lord A. V. TEMPEST said that if be found that by
next session the government bad not taken the case of these
officers into consideration, he should take an early opportu-
nity of moving an address to th+ crown praying that they
might be granted the half-psy of the ranks they held at the
period of the disbandment of the Corp.
UNIVERSITIES (SCOTLAND) BILL.
The Lords' amendments to this bill wore taken Into

Thsribe:mentiment by which datums 3 was omitted,
Mr. DUNLOP moved that the amendment be agreed to.
Re complained that he had been brought back from Scotland
in consequence of smendments which it was understood the
government did not meets to make,but which had been made in
the other house ; end he complained of such a course being
taken. That objection, however, did not apply to this amend-
ment, as the government had obkoted to the clause in
that house, and it had been carried against them.
The report of the commiesioners stated that the Scotch uni-
versities were not ecclesiastical institutions, not being con-
nected with the church more than with any other profession
that they were establishments for general education, and
no ecclesiastical feature beyond that of having a
certain number of professors for teaching theology. In 11553
an act was passed which relieved all professors, except tholes
of the divinity chairs, from taking the religions test. The
principals for two centuries had no' taught theology, and
were merely the nominal heads of colleges. He submitted
that it was of the greatest importance that theee offices should
bs open to all the professors; not, however, excluding pre-
femme of theology. (Hear.)
Mr. BOUVERIE semndd the amendment, which was
put and agreed to, and the cleueswas restored to the bill.
The Lords' amendments to several other clause were also
disagreed to; and Mr. Doak% Lard Palmerston, Sir J.
Graham. Mr. Roebuck, end several other members were ap-
pointed to draw up Te 1.1.00/ for such iibegmernent.

ENDOWED SCHOOLS LAW AMENDMENT BILL.
Os the order of the day for the second reading of this bill,
Mr. DILLWYN said of late years questions had arisen as
is how far dissenters were entitled to have their children
taught in endowed grammar schools, and as to how far dis-
senters should be appointed trustees of those schools. Re-
cently the Muter of the Rolls appointed it churchmen and
three diraenters as trustees of one of the schools, but
at appeal to the Lords Justices the dissenters were
struck off. This was felt as as insult by the dts-
ustere, and great alarm was felt that the useful•
nose of these schools would be lessened throughout
