be divided into the same number of districts as it
returns members, and that each district return one
member ; but after a discussion he withdrew it.
The Citasort.tos of the EXCHEQUER then moved
an addition to the clause, constituting the parishes
of Chelsea, Kensington, and Hammersmith into
a borough to be called the borough of Chelsea,
and that in all future parliaments such borough
shall return two members.
Mr. Maros moved that Fulham be included,
to which the Chancellor of the Exchequer
assented.
A discussion ensued, in the course of which Sir
M. Beach expressed an opinion that the metro-
polis was sufficiently represented already, and ob-
jected to the City having four members. Mr.
Crawfurd and Mr. Guachen argued that the City
was fully entitled to four members. Mr. Newde-
gate suggested that it would have been better to
have divided the county of Middlesex ' • and the
Chancellor of the Exchequer submitted that the
City of London was entitled by prescription to its
four members, and said that if they had proposed
io divide Middlesex it would have been said that
they wished to increase the representation of the
landed interest. The population of Chelsea and
Kensington was strictly urban, and the govern-
ment thought that representation should be given
to so populous and wealthy a district.
The clause was agreed to.
In clause 12, which enacts that the Tower Ham-
lets shall be divided, an amendment was inserted,
on the motion of the Chancellor of the Exchequer,
enacting that the boroughs of Merthyr Tydfil and
Salford shall return two members instead of one in
future parliaments ; but an amendment by Mr.
Powell to give an additional member to Birken-
head and Swansea was negatived.
A lengthened discussion then took place on suc-
cessive motions by Mr. Beresford Hope and Mr.
Laing that the chairman report progress, which
were negatived.
On clause lb, which gives a member to the Uni-
versity of London,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved an
amendment, that the University of London and
the University of Durham be one constituency.
Mr. CARDWELL and Mr. GOLD/HUD objected to
this junction of the two universities.
Mr. MONBRAY defended the amendment, on the
ground that the London University was connected
with colleges all over the world, and with every
description of belief and non-belief.
Mr. Lows said the Univerity of London was not
endowed. It did not educate at all ; but it matri-
culated and examined students, and its degrees
had a very high reputation, and it had nearly
3,000 graduates, many of them of the medical pro-
fession. The University of Durham was endowed
by the dean and chapter of Durham, and it Was
entirely a church of England institution. He was
one of a commission to examine it a few years ago,
and nothing could be more painful than its state.
It was insolvent ; it had only about 30 students.
No institutions could be more different in every
_ _ _

Mr. Liddell, Mr. Heedlam, and Mr. Ingham
advocated the muse of Durham ; and Mr. G. Duff
opposed its being joined to the University of
London.

A division was then taken on the question that
the word " university" stand part of the !clause,
which was negatived by 183 to 169, which was
tantamount to carrying the amendment.
Mr. Lowe then, saying that the question was an
important one to the University of London, and
that the division had not been expected to come on
so soon, moved that the Chairman report progress,
but the motion was negatived by 196 to 114.
The discussion on adjournment was continued
for some time longer, and in the course of it Mr.
DZNYAIf strongly protested against so great an in-
stitution as the University of London being joined
to so miserable an institution as the University of
Durham. Eventually it was agreed to report
progress, and further proceeding was accordingly
adjourned until this day.
The other orders were then disposed of, and the
house adjourned at 25 minutes past one.

LORD AMBERLEY'N SUNDAY LECTURES BILL.—
The Home Secretary, last evening, received a deputation
from the Working; Men's Lord's-day Rest Association, who
sought the interview to present a memorial against Lord
Amberley's bilL The appointed place of meeting was the
House of Commons. About 200 persons assembled pre-
vioualy in the centre hall, but Mr. Hardy declined to
receive more than half-a-dozen in the lobby. A rush,
however, was made through the corridor, and in spite of
the House of Commons police about 50 persons forced
their way into the lobby and at once wedged the Home
Secretary into the corner by the refreshment stall. Tl•e
proceedings then commenced in a somewhat rough and
ready style. The memorial was read by Mr. Hill, the
secretary of the association, and its burden may be
gathered from the following resolution, which it
quoted as having been passed by a large
Exeter Hall meeting of working men :—" That in the opi-
nion of this meeting the bill introduced to the House of
Commons by Lord Amherley to legalise the sale of tickets
and charging for admission to public debates, on any sub-
'Met, and lectures of every description, including lectures
for mere amusement, the lectures of medical quacks and
those whom business it is to cater for the public amuse -
ment, deserves the active opposition of all who value the
day of rest, as the bill is simply the thin end of the wedge
to obtain the opening of places of entertainment on Sun-
day, and would, if passed, immediately allow the Sunday
opening of places of amusement, exhibitions, Au, provided
that refreshments be not sold, and that a lecture of any
description be delivered ; and that a copy of this reso-
lution be sent to every member of parliament."
Several speeches were made by the deputation in support
of the prayer of the memorial, the chief arguments being
that the statement as to the bill being required in order
to secure religious toleration was unwarrantable ; that the
sole result would be the creation of a new kind of Sunday
labour ; that it would be impossible to prevent the pro-
orietors of some of the worst places in London opening
their rooms on Sundays, under the mask of a ticket for a
lecture or discussion ; and that public opinion, especially
amongst the labouring classes, was decidedly against the
bill and its objects. Mr. 0, Hardy, in reply, said the
subject should receive the attention of the government,
but he should reserve to himself the liberty to act as cir-
cumstances might dictate. At the same time he must
say he viewed the bill with distrust and disfavour.

MIDDLZ-CLASS EDUCATlON.—Yesterday Mr. He-
resford Hope, M.P., presided at the annual distribution
of prises to the successful pupil' in Archbishop Tenison's
School, Castle-street, Leicester-square, and took advantage
of the occasion to deliver an address upon the growing im-
portance of middle-class education. His remarks were
directed both to the boys and their parenta,many of whom
were present, and he reminded his hearers that the foun-
dation of their grammar schools began with Queen Eliza-
beth, and terminated with Archbishop Tenison. who had
borne himself with great dignity and wisdom through a
trying period of history, in tome respects not unlike our
present political situation. The education imparted in the
schools, which was intended for the advancement of the
great middle class of England. partook a little of
the classical element, and the schools them-
selves were in connexion with the Church
of England, which every candid man must
acknowledge was wrapped up in the glory of English his-
tory, no matter what her shortcomings might have been
in the eighteenth century. From 1720 to 1820, although
the middle-class was the dominant power, nothing was
done through its influence to advance education, and it
was not until quite recently that the class had broom,
alive to the folly of such reelect. It would be out of
place to allude to politics, but he could not ignore facts ;
and he must take leave to recall to wind that the reform
bill now passing through the legislature would completely
remove the political power of the middle chum. His de-
finition of the middle class was this : it was that section ,
of society which possessed a certain competence, and could
afford to pay for its own education. It had hitherto
ruled England, and to maintain its political influence the
liens of the present middle class would hereafter have to
uphold it by the force of intellect. Hence, the
necessity for extended education, resting upon
the classical basis. In this school, Win only
was taught, but the boy who mastered that
language would in his youth and manhood seek the
delight' of Greek. It had been asked, " Why stuff a boy's
head with Virgil and Homer why not direct his attention
to Shakespeare and Tennyson ?" but the boy who became
acquainted with Virgil and Homer could easily ,
pass, at a later period of his life, to the English
poets. It would not, however, be so easy to bring
him back from Shakespeare and Tennyson to Virgil
and Homer. The Rev. Mr. Humphreys' the vicar
of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields, announced that the
trustees had received a very satisfactory report from the
examiner of the school, Mr. Richmond, fellow of Trinity
College, Cambridge. The one great fault was that parents
removed their sons too soon. It was necessary for their
education that the boys should remain three or four years.
The prizes, consisting of books, were then distributed to
the pupils who had excelled in Latin, French, Scripture
history, Euclid, arithmetic, geography, drawing. writing,
&c. Five of them had obtained free scholarships also,
that is, they will be entitled to a year's education free of
charge. It was stated that the school is open to all deao-
minations.

ODIIIAM RAC};.•-•
The Stockbridge authorities having decided to permanently
extend their meeting to three days, necessitated the Wham
maaagemeat to celebrate their anniversary a day earlier, and
arcerdinrly the Hampshire campaign was Inaugurated to day on
Bartley •einunsou,where there was a numerous attendance, espe-
cially of the holiday people who annually come all "round and
square" to assist at the comparatively rustic reunion. A good
well filled
the regular followers of racing were tempted by the
well filled programme to make a halt on their way to Stock-
bridge, and the railway company, with • view to the better
accommodation of their patrons, ran a special train to Winch-
field this morning, and made arrangements fur travellers
going on to Stockbridge or retundint to London. Contrary to
custom, the weather was fine, and for once the holiday
folks had • good opportunity of en pone themselves. The
course, which Is situated about a mile and • half from Odlham,
and live from Woieliflehl, was beautiful going. As will be seen
from the appended returns, the anticipations, formed on the
excellent entries, of large fields were not fulfilled, and not •
single animal from the Danebury stables coutested any of the
races. The card contained eight items, commencing at halt-
past one with the Manor Plate, and concluding at live with the

TATTERSALL'S—Nomuy.
The commencement of the series of Hampshire meetings, to-day
was doubtless the main cause of so thin a muster at the sub-
scription-room, while among those who were present the thief
bsoMess was settling, and of speculation on future events there
was neat to none. Indeed, the only race we heard niunUonoil
was the Northumberland Plate, fur whlch the undermentioned
four were supported for small sums only at their quoted odds :
