Mr. LEATHAM strongly supported the bill, as he did
not agree in the opinion that it would sever the connection
of the Church of England from the governing bodies of the
Universities. The objections brought against the bill were
by no means new, because they had been raised on previcus
occasions, when the Test and Corporation Acts and Jewish
Emancipation were under the consideration of the house.
He was certain:sooner or later this bill would pass, because
it was only conferring that which was eminently the right
of those who would come within its provisions. The real
reason that had led to the strong opposition of the bill was
because it was looked upon as a concession to
non-conformity, and that whatever concession was
made to non-conformists must be a blow to the Church of
England. He could not take such a narrow and confined
view of the matter, and therefore he hoped the motion of
the hon. gentleman opposite would be rejected.
Mr. C. CLIFFORD was in favour of the bill, as he did
not believe the effect of the measure would be to drive into
non-conformity those who might become members of the
Church. He aid sot sympathise with those who were of
opinion that science was opposed to religion. The argu-
ments of the hon. member for Devon he could characterise
as nothing more than antiquated fear, such as was placed
in the one who represented the church where Dryden
wrote the " Hind and the Panther." He was not afraid
that the ocean of dissent would sweep away the spires and
g towers of Oxford. He therefore supported the motion for
FIDPR,IP

Mr. MORRISON exprebseu rps intemion or supporting
the motion tor going into committee.

Sir J. NOHTHCOTE contended that that principle of
the bill had not been admitted on the second reading on
the 16th of March, and for this very good reason that the
maj ,rity of members were then not agreed upon the principle
of the bill. If there had not been a aifference of opinion on
that occasion he should not have opposed the house now
going into committee. On this subject he thought the
Government ought to have taken the initiative, or, at all
events, to have undertaken the guidance of the bill after
its second reading. He deprecated altogether this restless
manner of interfering with the universities, and of raising
questions which it would be herdly possibly to settle.
Mr. ROEBUCK objected to the use of tests altogether.
The test was a means to an end, and the end was to pro-
hibit the corning in of persons who were not members of
the Church of England. Tests were a cobweb to catch
large flies, while they caught the small ones. Gibbon and
Hume would have passe I, because they did not care
whether they conformed or not, while a man of conscien-
tious feeling would be kept without the pale, because he
would not violate his conscience by conforming, while he
conscientiously objected.
Sir W. HEATHCOTE supported the amendment.

being challenged by Lard Robert Cecil he said it was not
in the Prayer Book ho held in his hand. Next he disputed
dodtrine of the Church of England as renresented in the
Athanasian Creed. Upon this he was informed that the
Athanasian Creed was taken bodily from the Roman Catho-
lic Mass Book, and then he abandoned his position altoge-
ther, amidst the merriment of the house. Being informed
by the speaker that h 9 was wandering from the question,
the hon gentleman went into other matters, on which he
spoke without material interruption for the next twenty
minutes.

Mr MOORE supported the amendment.
Mr NEATE opposed it, and referring to a speech made
by Lord R. Cecil at Oxford last Saturday, denied that
good churchwarden was necessarily a Conservative.
Lord R. CEUIL defended his speech, and supported the
amendment.

Mr. GOSCHEN denied the identity of Conservatives
with Churchmanship. On the liberal side of the Church
there were as many friends of the Church as on the oppo-
sition. (Hear, hear.) The Conservative party appeared
to be anxious to denationalise the Church, for only the other
day when it was decided by the highest Court that a certain
judicial decision was to be revised, some thousands of gen-
tlemen came forward and repudiated the judgment. The
simple principle of the bill was to abolish tests for acade-
mical degrees, leaving all offices to be held as at present by
Churchmen.
Mr. C. FORTESCUE as a churchman thanked Mr.
Dodson for his bill, as it relieved laymen from the bondage
of dogmatic theology contained in the Prayer Book. It was
bound to make such
bad enough for the clergy to bedecla-
rations, but to impose it upon laymen he could only account
for by a fearful hardening of conscience. (Hear, hear.)

Mr NEWDEGATE opposed the bill,. on the rOundthat
it would admit into the Church men f loose theological
opinions,. as well as of men who, while they held the doc-
trines, differed from the discipline of the Church. More-
over, it would call for an arbitrary clerical disicipline which
he thanked God had never yet disgraced the Church of
England. (Laughter.)
Mr BOUVERIE supported the hill, He considered it
an outragecue proceeding that a layman should be asked to
de lare his unfeigned ass= nt to the Book of Common Prayer,
which was compo,ed by uninspired men like themselves.
(Hear, hear )
Mr. DODSON replied, explaining the principles of his
bill.

The house then divided—
For the amendment
Against it
Majority

The amendment was therefore negatived.
Mr. DODSON, who brought up the numbers, stated
them so badly that there was some difficulty in under-
standing what the decision of the house really was, until
it was more emphatically decided by the Speaker.
The house went into committee on the bill, and progress
was immediately reported, meaning, in effect, that no pro
gress at all had been made beyond the fact that on tont-her
occasion the house may go into committee without further
discussion,
