Sir —I see in your paper

Talbot and Monsignor° Howard have been sent here by
the Pope to deliver a mandate to the Irish members to vote
against the Government. There is not one word of truth in
that statement. Monsignor° Howard has rot come here ;
and Monsignors Talbot has come over to visit his brother,
Lord Talbot de Malahide, and his other relations, and not
any communication has been made by him, ar any one else,
for any political business whatsoever. NT

of fairness, you will publish this letter.

HOUSE OP COMMONS.--Yesterday.
The SREAKER did not take the chair until about half-
past 12, owing to the difficulty of getting 40 members
Present.

NORTH-WESTERN AND CHA.RING-CROSS
RAILWAY BILL.

On the order of the day for the third reading of this bill,
changed from the Hampstead, Midland, North-Western
and Charing• Cross Railway,
Sir J. SHELLEY complained of sharp practice on the
part of the railway company, the bill having been read in
a morning sitting, when parties interested had no opportu-
nity of opposing. He should move next session that no
private bill be taken at a morning sitting.
Mr S. ESICOURT said the right hon, baronet might
have been present yesterday to oppose the bill. Even now
it was not too late, if ho felt so disposed, to arrest its pro-
gress. He thought the hon, member had nothing to com-
plain of.
Nr BOUVERIE urged that parties had not had suffi-
cient notice, In such cases he thought there should be one
clear day's notice of a motion to suspend standing orders.
After some farther discussion, it was agreed that the
standing order 226 should be suspended, and that the bill
should be read a third time to-morrow (this day).
DUNDEE CHURCHES AND HOSPITAL BILL.
On the motion of Mr C. FORSTER, it was agreed that in the
case of this bill the examiner of petitions for private bills
should have leave to proceed forthwith.

BILLS WITHDRAWN.
The Superior Courts of Common Law (Ireland) Bill,
the Court of Queen's Bench (Ireland) Bill, and the Mar-
ried Women's Acknowledgment Bill, were withdrawn, on
the motion of Sir R Peel.

UNIFORMITY ACT AMENDMENT BILL.
Mr. BOU'VERIE, in moving the second reading of this
bill, explained its nature and effect. It proposed to repeal
the seventh section of the Act of Uniformity of Charles
11., requiring from certain dignitaries of the Church, and
fellows and tutors of colleges, declarations of conformity to
the Prayer B )ok. At Oxford and Cambridge there was
some difference. At Cambridge there were no oaths or
declarations of any kind on admission, and there were none
on taking the ordinary degree in arts, but if an undergra-
duate obtained a scholarship which was a mark of distinction
he had to take the oaths. He had to take an oath of obe-
dience to the college statutes. He did not intend to interfere
with that oath where the statutes required it, but he objected
to the Parliament on a mere taking the oath of conformity
to the Church of England, whether the statutes required
it or not. Secondly, he had to take the oath of allegiance,
supremacy, and abjuration; and, thirdly, under the Act of
Uniformity, he had to make a declaration that he would
conform to the Liturgy of the Church of England. It was
this he asked the house to assist him in repealing. The
universities were not merely seminaries for the education of
priests ; on the contrary, they were essentially lay corpo-
rations, and the fellowships were the prizes for literary and
scientific energy. The system was injurious to the Church,
to the men who were excluded, and to the universities
themselves.

Mr. WALPOLE said the bill was not of the little im-
portance the hon member seemed to admit. He saw no
reason why it should be pressed upon the house when there
was so much opposition to it out of doors. The introduction
of the principle laid down in the bill would lead to religious
confusion to the promoters, and it would draw many from
secular education, the foundation of religion on which the
education stood, and on which the country was determined
it should stand, whatever may be the nature of the educe-

tion determined upon. He denied the proposition of the
hon gentleman that the present system was unjust to the
Dissenters, and injurious to the Universities and the
Church. A University had been established in London, in
which all who did not conform to the Church of England
might receive a university education, and by the establish-
ment of the college the grievances of the Dissenters were
almost entirely removed. He moved as an amendment that
the bill be read a second time that day three months.

Mr MONSELL complained that Mr Bouverie, by his
bill, would inflict a serious injury on Roman Catholics. In
a matter of civil rights it would put Roman Catholics on a
pinnacle where they might be pelted at by all who differed
from them. The right hon. gentleman (Mr Bouverie) had
come down with professions of liberality on his lips
while perpetrating this monstrous injustice. (Hear,
hear.) The right honourable gentleman wished to
affirm that religion ought not to be the founda-
tion of education, and if he succeeded he would go on to
something else. He (Mr Monsell) advised the house to
resist the introduction of the bill, and to maintain the great
principles on which the universities were founded.
Mr WHALLEY said the object of the Church was to
make its boundaries as wide as possible, and supported the
second reading of this bill,
Mr NE A.TE was sorry to differ from those with whom
he usually acted, and opposed the bill, which he thought
unwise, after they had rejected the larger measure of throw-
ing open the universities.
The house divided—
