IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT

HOUSE OF COMMONS.--This Day,

The SPEAKER took the chair at a, quarter past twelve.

UNIFORMITY ACT AMENDMENT BILL.

Sir W. HEATHCOTE presented 'a petition from the
convocation of the University of Oxford against this bill.
The hon. baronet also petitioned to the same effect from
undergraduates of the University.
Mr. WALPOLE presented several similar petitions from
the University of Cambridge.
Mr. BOUVERIE said that in reference to the state of
the bill and of the session, he had considered whether there
was a fair prospect of carrying it this session. He had
arrived at the unwilling conclusion that he
should have no chance of carrying it this
session, and he should therefore ask the house to
withdraw the order this year, in order that he might re-
introduce it next session. It was not .a bill to compel uni-
versity authorities to open their doors to nonconformists,
but to remove restrictions which were imposed 200 years
ago, and which had entirely failed. The object of those
who' had promoted the bill had been greatly misunderstood.
They had no hostility to the Church or the universities, on
the contrary, the object was to improve the universities and
the educational system which prevailed there, He
attached no weight to the petition from the
University of Oxford, for there had been no
measure of public utility in connection with religion or
education introduced which had not been opposed by the
Iniversity of Oxford. The petitioners from the University
seemed to be based upon an error of facts. He begged to
move that the order be discharged.
Sir W. HEATHCOTE saidthat 2,000 non-resident mem-
bers of the University had expressed their approval of th,
course Convocation had taken in opposing the hill. The
young men, also, of the University, from whom the right
hon. 'gentleman looked for liberality, had also declared their
opinion that the bill was a dangerous one.

Mr, WALPOLE defended the petitioners from the 'Uni-
versity of Cambridge. He bimself had presented a petition
from every head of a college but two, from all the tutors,
and from a large body of undergraduates. He hoped the
right hon, gentleman would not next session bring in this
or an amended bill, unless he proved some overwhelming
necessity for it, which he felt sure would not be the case.
Mr. HADFIELD spoke strongly in favour of such a
measure.

Mr. NEWDEGATE deprecated the bill, and considered
that it would endanger the Church of England, which
for centuries had been the peat bulwark of Christianity.
Mr. GOSCHEN thought that a full discussion of the
question would have assisted that strong and influential
party which existed in both Universities, and which was
desirous of reform. He could not think it could be
said that the right hon. gentleman was disturbing the re-
pose of the university by his bill, for that repose had been
disturbed. and it was not by resisting measures like this
that repose could be artificially maintained. He would not
support such a bill if he thought it would interfere with
the Church, but he considered that the Church of England
was in more danger from those who fainted at every attack
than from those who boldly faced danger. He thought the
Church would be greatly strengthened if she could fight
with a freer hand.

After some remarks from Mr. Monsen, Mr. R. Mills,
Mr. Henley, and Mr. Dunlop, the order was discharged,
and the bill was withdrawn.
MISAPPROPRIATION OF SERVANTS BILL.

Mr. STANI LAND moved the second reading of this
bill. He explained that the taking of corn by servants to
feed their master's horses was a felony. The punishment
was so disproportionate to the offence that he proposed in
his bill to reduce the crime from felony to one cognisable
by the magistrates. He proposed that the penalty for such
an offence should be imprisonment of 'not more than three
months, or a penalty not exceeding £5.
Sir G. GREY said the bill would require some altera-
tion in committee.

The bill was then read a second time.
ADMIRALTY BOARD.

Sir H. WILLOUGHBY resumed the adjourned debate
on the question proposed (June 9)—" That a select com-
mittee be appointed to inquire into the constitution of the
Board of Admiralty, and into the different departments
under the control of that board."
