(THIS DAY.)

(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)
MANCHESTER, July 11.—By the New York steamer
of the 28th ult. we learn that the American markets for
cotton were firm in prices, and that at New Orleans
there was an advance of 4c. per lb—middling being
quoted Sic. with freight to Liverpool id. per lb. The
receipts for the week were 29,000 bales, against 12,000
last year, and the exports to Great Britain 54,000
against 24,000. The weather was good arid the growing
plant healthy. In Liverpool there seems to be an attempt
to-day to turn to some little account the stiffness on the
other side ; speculative purchases to the extent of 2,000
bales being reported ; butthe dullness prevailing there of
lace will meet with no relief in the state of this day's
Manchester market. The langour which has latterly
characterised the Liverpool market, although at-
tended With hardly any noticeable concession in the
price of good cottons of the different denomina-
tion', has certainly tended to increase the general
caution and limit the amount of business in this market.
Other causes have, at the same time, contributed to the
same result: viz., an uneasy feeling about the mutual po-
sition of the German and the western powers in relation
to the war with Russia ; and an anxiety about the future
supply of food, occasioned by the state of the weather in
this country, and by accounts of its being still more un-
favourable in Germany and the northern parts of France.
In all departments we have consequently experienced a
greater degree of dullness than we did last week; both the
continental and the India houses, who were men oper-
ating to a very great extent, are now doing as little as
others ; and the business of the day has therefore been
comparatively inconsiderable.

this day.

ROCHDALE, July 10.—The flannel market has been
flatter to-day than it was on the previous Monday. It
has been usual i❑ former years fir the merchants to
begin to lay in their winter stocks as early as July,
but there is no indication of this at present. The wool
market has been firm, and former prices well main-
tained.

HUDDERSFIELD, July. —Business to-day, both in the
piece hall and the warehouses, has been better than last
week, tough far from what is understood by the
term "brisk." There has, however, been a fair at-
tendance of buyers ; and though their transactions
have not been either numerous or heavy, there is a de-
cided improvement in tone throughout the market. De-
mand has mainly bean for fancy's of good quality, and
low plain blacks. In the wool warehouses compara-
tively little has been done.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER.-TUESDAY.

There was a full attendance at the rooms this morning,
but nothing like the speculation one has been on the eve
of a popular race like the Liverpool Cup. There have
been some changes since our last. TS pee, not much in
force previously, jumped at once to the front rank, con-
tending with Dr. O'Toole for the first favouritism. King-
ston was introduced yesterday at 12 to 1, taken to some
money, closing to-day at 7 to 1.
The only change in the Goodwood Stakes is an im-
provement in the two leading favourites.

in the second place, the students were of a younger age.
He was most anxious that his opinions respecting the
Dissenters and the Roman Catholics should not be mis-
t' iderstood, and he hoped he had clearly explained the
grounds on winch he objected to their admission to the
university. In conclusion, he would only express a hope
that some of the amen,iment4 which had been introduced
in their lordships' house would be revised by the other
House of Parliament. (Hear, hear.)
The Earl of DELA.WARR was desirous of recording
his most decided opposition to the bill. This legislation on
the subject was uncalled for, and in many respects unjust.
He regretted that their lordships not only resisted any
either purification of the bill as sent up from the House
,f Commons, but had reinstated some of the most mis-
,thievous provisions which had been rejected by the other
(Hear.) The institution of private halls would
lead to religious controversy, and would injure Oxford
as a seat for the distinctive teaching of the doctrines
of the Church of England. He regretted that a bill
having such a tendency should receive the sanction of
prelates of the church. Ho. believed that it was a great
fallacy to suppose that the expense of education would
be less in the new private halls than it was now in some
of the colleges. Oxford University had been always re-
garded as a bulwark of the Church of England, and it
was with deep regret that he found right rev. prelates of
that church joining in an unjust attack upon its rights
trul privileges, (Hear)
The Earl of CARNARVON said that whilst he
would be the first person to resist penal restrictions on
Account of religion, he would oppose any proposition
which would tend to place the Dissenters in the govern-
ing body of the university. What the Dissenters wanted
was not a separate existence in private bills but equality
in collegiate life. He did not look upon the amend-
ment with respect to the Dissenters as a question so
:ouch of their admission as one for the exclusion of the
Church of England. This was more than equality and
toleration ; and if it was done as an act of generosity at
the expense of others. Even if the object of the Go-
vernment were crowned with the success they hoped, it
would produce anything but peace and harmony in the
university. He believed it would produce disorder in-
stead of peace, The studies of the university must be
totally changed, and no father would in future send his
son to receive religious instruction from the mouth of
persons who entertained religious opinions different
from his own. If this policy was pursued further, its
tendency must be to drive persons to seek for religious
instruction in places, if possible, more free from Govern-
ment control. (Hear, hear.)
Lord MONTEAGLE said there was no portion of the
bill to which he attached so much importance as that
which permitted the entrance of the Dissenters, which
he believed would tend to the advantage of the univer-
sity, the advantage of the Church of England, and the
advantage of the dissenting body at the same time.
But he believed, if admitted at all, they must be ad-
mitted on terms of equality. He did not think they
would be doing justice to their own intentions, or make
then* legislation operative or good if they were to be ad-
mitted on terms unjust and unbecoming to them. If
there was danger to the church at all from their admis-
sion, that danger would rise to the highest term if they
were to be admitted as a small and distinct confederacy,
and not on an equal footing with all others who were
admitted to the university. He believed it would be
quite possible to admit the dissenters into Oxford and
yet preserve it as a seat for the distinctive teaching of
the doctrines of the Church of England. The two
things were reconciled in Trinity College, Dublin, and
were the people of this country so much less moderate
and tolerant than the people of Ireland that the same
thing could not be carried into effect in Oxford ? The
clergy of the established church in Ireland were educated
in Trinity College, and no one could say that they were
less orthodox than those who were educated in Oxford.
With regard to the procuring of a license before a mas-
ter could open a hall, as he read the bill, it would be
obligatory on the authorities of the university to grant
the license. (Hear, hear.) He believed that if Dr.
Newman, who was a member of convocation, were to
apply for a license to establish a hall in Oxford, he
should be admitted as a right as a member of convoca-
tion. He believed that the keeping of the dissenters a
separate body in the university, would not lead to good
fellowship or good understanding.
The Earl of CARNARVONb.said that Trinity Col-
lege, Dublin, differed from Oxford in this respect, that
Trinity College was an examining college, and the go-
v membererning s
of body there must ipso facto be composed of
the Church of England.
Viscount CANNING said that the present discussion
would have been more appropriate on the second read-
ing which bad been allowed to pass without a division.
He denied that the bill was an illiberal one as stated by
his noble friend opposite. It was not illiberal because
it took the governing power out of the hands of a
few men who were not intended to be appointed for
that purpose, who bad no special fitness for the duty
who were not responsible, or removable, and who
had a separate, and in many respects, an antagonistic
interest to other parts of the institution which they had
to govern. A body so constituted could not produce
good fruit. The noble earl said that the new constitu-
tion was illiberal because congregation was a smaller
body than convocation —than the forma. But the
rights of convocation remained as large as they had been
heretofore. The noble earl said that it was wrong to
disturb a venerable institution which was 800 or 900
years old. In his opinion, it would not be easy to
find a priori a stronger reason for reconsidering the
constitution of Oxford ; for what institution of the
country— religious, social, or political—had not been
subjected to change during that period ? (Hear, hear.)
With regard to the granting of licenses for the opening
of private 'halls, the bill took ample security that the
pers:nis so appointed should be members of the church
of England ; because the bill positively imposed on the
university to prescribe the obligations and qualifications
on which the license was to be obtained. That met such
a case as that of Dr. Newman. He could not see that the
admission ofdissenters should divorce the university from
its connexion with the church, or import any seeds of
danger into the university. Its connexion with the
church would not be in the slightest degree affected ;
the governing body would have the same power as now
of snaking whatever regulations they thought neces-
sary for maintaining that connexion. He believed
that the infusion of a certain number of dissenters into
the university would have the effect of softening those
-asperities of opinion which had prevailed at Oxford of
late years, by bringing churchmen in contact with those
who differed more widely from their views than they
did from each other. (Hear.) It would have given him
greater pleasure to have seen this change operated by
the university itself; but as he had stated on a former

evening the -Govern-ment had only dealt with the ques-
tion in pursuance of the decision of the House of Com-
mons by a very large majority. On that ground he hoped
their lordships would not make any attempt to negative
these clauses. Nothing would be more disastrous for
the universities than to be kept hanging on the doubtful
decision of Parliament ; it would create schism and hos-
tility within the university, and transfer the contest
from parliament to within the walls of Oxford itself.
Lord \VYNFORD said that the difficulties which
would arise from the discipline of the colleges, the at-
tendance on services, and the intercourse between
churchmen and dissenters, would only be the beginning
of still greater difficulties. One most important part of
an undergraduate's examination was his divinity, which
included a knowledge of the Old and New Testaments,
a strict knowledge of the Thirty-nine Articles, and
ability to support them by texts from Scripture and rea-
soning. How could they call on a dissenter to do this
—to profess the Thirty-nine Articles--and to support
their truth by his own reasoning ? This presented a for-
midable difficulty in his mind. At Cambridge it did not
exist, as dissenters there were not called upon to sup-
port the Thirty-nine Article. ([fear, hear.)
Lord REDESDALE drew attention to some inaccu-
racy in the phraseology of the 6th clause, which was
.amended.

Viscount CANNING stated the other amendments
which had been effected in committee. They were put
seriatim, and agreed to.

Lord WROTTESLEY said it now became his duty
to move an amendment on the 16th clause, which regu-
lated the constitution of the congregation. He was of
opinion that the governing body of Oxford had not paid
duo attention to onetnost important branch of learning,
physical science. When he was at Oxford that study
was at a very low ebb, and he did not believe that it had
progressed since. This was well pointed out by Mr.

Lowe, M.P., in his evidence before the commissioners.
He stated that he had met many Oxford young men in

Australia, who complained that-their Oxiord course had
placed them at a disadvantage for making progress in
life. This 16th clause afforded an opportunity for in-
fusing a new element into the teaching of Oxford. It
was right that Parliament should recognise the claims
of education. He proposed that those who had ob-
tained high honours should be members of the congre-
gation as well as men distinguished in literature and
science, like Mr. Hallam or Sir C. Lyell. The noble
lord concluded by moving certain amendments of which

he had given notice.

definitions of the amendment. Considering that the
great object of the bill was.
Oxford, he thought they might safely leave questions of
governing body themselves.
The t
of CHICHESTER said that one or two
tdheinagislt Bishop thewere wanting to give effect to the provisions
of the bill. He did not think Oxford offered sufficient
attractions to induce men eminent in science to take up
their residence there, and become connected with the
university. Some agency was wanted by which they
might operate on the education of the upper and middle
classes in schools, so as to fit them fur the university ;
and he thought it most desirable that there should be
some kind of preliminary examination prior to admission
to the university. (Hear.
Lord REDESDALE
objected to the power of the
governing body to vote a statute, and so prevent its
being submitted to the congregation.
The Bishop of OXFORD took that opportunity of
explaining that in the observations which lie had made
a few nights since he had intended to cast no reflection
on the present management of Abingdon School.
Viscount CANNING said it had been supposed that
on a former occasion lie had said that the Bishop of
Exeter, as visitor of Exeter College, had refused to con-
sent to certain changes made by that college in its sta-
tutes. He had not -said so, because that was not the
fact ; on the contrary, the bishop had agreed to several
most important alterations in these statutes.
The report was then received.
