TgiTS ABOLITION (OXFORD) BILL.

Mr. COLERIDGE, in moving the second reading of the
Tests Abolition (Oxford) Bill, said the bill was word for
word the same as he introduced last year. He
should, therefore, content himself with stating
the principal arguments for the bill that were
urged in the debate of last year. First, the sup-
porters of this measure contended that the Univer-
sity of Oxford was a national institution, and that
parliament ought to compel the university to receive all
subjects of the crown who might resort thither, without
any reference to the religious opinions they might hold.
Next, they maintained that it was only, so to speak, by
accident, and with different objects and views, that the
disabilities were originally imposed. It was not till the
time of Elizabeth that they were imposed, and the objects
with which they were imposed had passed sway. The prin-
cipal objection to the measure war that by the admission
of non-conformists to the university the religious
teaching of the university would he impaired.
The fact, however, was, that the prevailing temper of the
governing body of the university was now, and hail been
for more than a hundred years pa,t, steadily
=I to anything like religious culture. Be-
if the presence of the nonconformists in
the university was dangerous, the danger was
incurred already, for they were now there, and
they might be examiners and private tutors. The
bill aimed at one single definite issue, and it was not
intended by it to deal with any question that might rise
collaterally with regard to fellowships. But though •
short and simple hill, it established an important principle,
the nationality of the university as against the exclusive
claim of the church of England.

Sir W. HEATHCOTE said his hon. and learned friend
had been rightly informed that it was not intended to op-
pose the second reading of the bill. There were certain
amendments which were to be proposed, but this was not
the right time for going into them, and he merely rose to
explain that he did not think that this was the right time,
so fares he was concerned, for raising any opposition to
the motion of bin hon. and learned friend. There were
notices of amendments which, if carried, might alter the
form of his bill altogether ; and, among other matters, they
would have to consider its effect as applied to both uni-
versities.

The bill was then read a second time.
RELIGIOL'S, Ice., BUILDING SITES BILL.

Mr. HADFIELD moved the second reading of this bill.
He did not apprehend that there would be any opposition
to it, its object being simply to enable all managers of be-
nevolent institutions, whether they were connected with
schools, religious objects, or objects of science or art, to
acquire possession of land to the extent of two acres with-
out the inconvenience and expense attached to it by the
rt operation of the Momain Act, the expense of which
often amounted to more than five per cent. of the purchase
money.
Mr. WALPOLE said that he would not offer any ob-
jection to the motion, and
The bill was read a second time.
SUPPLY.
The report of supply was brought up and agreed to.
The Duty on Dogs Bill as amended was considered.
The Sugar Duties (Recommitted) Bill passed through
committee.

In committee of ways and means, 365,152/. way voted
for the services of the current year.

On the motion of Major ANSON. the following members
were chosen as the select committee on the army (India
and the Colonies)—Viscount Cranborne, Mr. Childers, Sir
J. Fergusson, Marquis of Hartington Captain Hester, Mr.
Oliphant, Sir Henry Rawlinsou. Sir William Russell,
Captain Vivian, Viscount Hamilton, Mr. Laing, Lord
William Hay, Colonel North, and Major Anson—power
to send for persons, papers, and records.
The house adjourned at five minutes past three o'clock.

LIVERPOOL SPRING MEETING.-WZDNVIDAT.
TEE GRAND NATIONAL DAY.

The great "cross-country" contest, so eminently popular
throughout the kingdom and among all classes of the C 011.14111•
hit), has again been celebrated, and henceiorth the name of
Gortoli in will be enrolled among those famed steeple chasers
who have asserted their supremacy over the renowned Grand
National course at Aintree. The race this year has been one of
unparalleled interest, and although the betting in connexion
with It was for some time " weary, flat, stale, and unprofitable,"
as the time approached for its deciakm, the enthusiasm of the
public was thoroughly awakened. To fix itself indelibly in the
recollection of those unfortunates who will rush on early
favourites, the ()rand National of Ina was not de.
'obi of those obnoxious features without which no great
handicap appears complete in its details. We refer obviously to
those animals who are se expreedvely denominated "dead tans"
—a phrase which is correct so far as their vitality in the money
market is concerned. The names of Burney and Columbia
figured prominently fora Wng time In the list of quotations, but
• week ago unmistakable rigns of their ultimate withdrawal
were observable, and, as was anticipated, both were struck out,
( on Monday afternoon, and Burney prior to the com-
mencement of the racing on Tuesday. Never was the ()rand
National week inaugurated with more delightful weather
than it was on the present anniversary, although the keen
and bracing air rendered it seasonable. The morning was
line, but, in consequence of the eclipse, was sbinewhat
dull. By noon, however' the sun shone out with great brilliancy,
and the course assumed a stirring aspect by the time for the
contest of the week. A great change took place, however,
during the running for the Grand National, the sky becoming
cloudy, and a slight rain falling A large number of people
repaired to the course this morning to witness the gallops of
the competitors, meet of whom were out doing a canter. On no
previous occasion had so many persons walked round to inspect
the course and the various fences and leaps. The impression
created generally was that the "country" was anything but
forinklable, being of a fair and moderate hunting character.
The much talked of lecher's and Valentine's Brooks exist only
In name, being now no more than ordinary ditches, such
as one constantly meets when out with the hounds,
and within the compass of any ordinary bunter
to take. The obstacles are twelve in number, including the
artificial water Jump opposite the stand, which was a model of
Its character, being made with • due regard to the safety of the
hones, fuel at the same time to test their abilities for taking"
water. The " going" was very good, the greater proportion of
the land being grass, and the tire pieces of plough were har-
rowed over in the track. The attendance was considerably In
.aeon of any previous anniversary, and the great race caused as
much Interest and excitement as ever. The particulars of this
contest will be found fully recorded below. Suffice it to say that
Gortolvin, who ran second for this event last year, won with
comparative ease, and immense cheers arose on all sides when
the hoisting of the winner's number proclaimed the fact that the
popular young Duke of Hamilton had secured this rich and
coveted prize. It may he mentioned that the chances of Astro-
late, Ball Court, Whlichall, and Little Enna were extinguished
In an early part of the race by the falling of Havelock. The
flat racing was somewhat tame, and calls for no further comment
beyond the appended details:

with his hums until they came fairly Into the straight, when

first three. From the distance Kenyon Palle his horse vigorously,
and won in the last stride by a head. A head may divided Mies
Frances from Panacea: Lady Craven was fourth, beaten four
lengths, and the King's Daughter last.

Mg. Alter the usual Inspection of the arnapetitors in the en-
closure the horses took their preliminary canter, reaching the
starting post • few minutes after the appointed time. Several
attempts to get them away were frustrated by Marengo obsti-
nately refusing to go. Eventually they were started in capital
order, Thomastown being first away, followed by Cortolvin,
Globule, Plinlimmon. King Arthur, Van, and Sliver Star,
Shakspeare and Lightheart heading • cluster of horses,
the rear of which was brought up by if
Hall Court and Marengo being many length/we%

quickly regained his place. At the second fence Little Wide-
' awake refused, but nothing of importance occurred till Have-
Leak come down at the postern rails, canning Whitehall, Hall
Court, Little Frank, and Astrolabe also to conic to grief. Aft. r

of Sea King, Revolver, King Arthur, and Tennyson—the last-
named blundering, and nearly coming down : the next division,
comprising Shakespeare, Genies's°, Shangarry, Cortotvin, and
Fan. Banker was the next over, but Ablett, finding his horse
thoroughly exhausted, Judiciously pulled him up. Little Frank
and Astrolabe, who had been remounted, tolled hopelessly In the
, rear In company with Marengo. After clearing Hecher's Brook
. the second time, Cortolvin. whom Page been nursing, Joined
the leading divbion, consisting of Globule, Sea King, Shakes-
pears, Fan, and Shmfgarry, the last-named being slightly in ad-
canoe of King Arthur, the reniainder of the field being sena-
, rated at wide intervals. At this point it was difficult to decide
which had the best of the race, so well were they going torte-
' ther. But along the canal side. In the ploughed land, Shakespeare
showed signs of distress. end his place In tire front was taken by
Fan, who, when Jumping Into the road, Joined Cortolvin and
Globule: Shangarry and Sea King following at intervals of about
nix lengths, and in this order they came into the race course.
As they rounded the turn into the straight, Globule and Shan-
awry were fairly outatrode by the more commanding sweep of
Cortoivin and Fan, who were racing side by side : but the Duke's
horse took the lend from the distance, and won by five lengths,
Fan being four lengths in front of Shang:wry, who finished •
desperate race for place honours, which he gained by a neck
