HOUSE OF COMMONS—Last Evening,
The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock.
PRIVATE BUSINESS.

The Belfast and Northern Counties Railway, !Bristol
and South Wales Union Railway, London and North
Western (Traffic Arrangements), and Oswestry and New-
town Railway, and other Companies (Arrangements) Bills
were read a third time and passed.
The Wandsworth-bridge Bill was read a second time.
Mr. WHITE presented a petition from Brighton in

Mr. DISRAELI presented a petition against the Test
Abolition Bill.

THE STEAM RAMS.

Mr. J. TOLLEMACHE asked the Attorney-General,
whether the offer to sell the Birkenhead iron-clads at the
price of £300,000 was made to the Government by the
owners, Messrs. Bravay, or by the builders, Messrs. Laird?
The ATTORNEY-GCNERAL said the offer un-
doubtedly came from the gentlemen representing the
owners, Messrs. Bravey, no such proposal emanatiug from
the Messrs. Laird.
TEST ABOLITION BILL.

On the motion for going into committee on this bill,
Mr. TREFUSIS moved that the house go into
committee on the bill that day six months. He
contended that by the bill an entirely new principle
was sought to be infused into she University of Oxford,
as persons not members of the Church of England
by it would be admitted into the governing body of the
University. He had endeavoured to ascertain whethe
thei e was any great feeling in favour of the measure out of
the house, but he had failed to discover that such existed.
He thought the time had come when the Universities should
take a decided course on religious matters, but if this bill
passed it would tend to make the religious teaching indis-
tinct in those establishments, and therefore he hoped a
majority of the house would support the motion for its re-
jection.
