LOSS OF THE EUROPA.
17,141:1t. SCOBELL asked the First Lord of the Admiralty
h ether the Europa troop-ship sailed from England on
r v9yage alone, or in company with any other vessel cr
transportl, :.—lf no such regulation is established, has the
?ard of Admiralty considered the propriety of arranging,
Iran practicable, and as a precaution, that hereafter DO
sport, with-troops on board, shall commence her voy-
' g!,.to,a foreign station without a consort.
h JAMES GRAHAM said the loss of the Europa
t,3(' given rise to very serious reflections, and instruc-
',4" had been issued by the Board of Admiralty to
.Frohibit smoking between decks on board transports,
!tili that additional precautions should be taken with
teference to the' stowage of combustible articles, such
t? oil and coal. Until he had read the notice of this ques-
-1?4, the consideration it Suggested had not occurred to his
Zirld, but he thought it woiild not be prudent to hold out
soldiers and sailors that the dangers of proceeding
across the sea were such as to require that transports
B.onld proceed with a consort. (Hear, hear.)

dbe done with regard to that. It WU not

LORD DRUAIL ANRIG.

OLIVERIA wished to ask the noble lord the Pre -
eideat of the Council a quo ;Lion on 'a subject affecting the
character and position of a- membar of the house.
(lieu, hear.) A case occurred yesterday in the
uheriffs Court, from which it appeared that the
noble lord the Comptroller of her Majesty's Household had
bucked a prize fighter, named Johnny Walker, to fight
another—Hayes—for 1,0001. a side, and he wished
to ask the noble lord whether it was the intention
the
the Government to institute any inquiry into
"Ile subject, with the view of ascertaining whe-
ther a noble lord, having propensities of that charac-
ter—(laughter)—was the fittest person to be in constant
Personal communication with her Dlajesty. (Hear.)
Lord J. RUSSELL had seen the report of the case re-
ferred to, but so far as h 3 at present was informed he did
WA think it necessary to institute any inquiry into the
matter. (Hear.)

.10 take the educational estimates ?

OXFORD UNIVERSITY BILL.
On the order of the day for resuming the debate on the
report on this bill,
The CHANCELLOR of tha EXCHEQUER moved the
insertion of the names of the Earl of Harrowby and the
'ltight Honourable C. Cornewall Lewis as Commissioners.
The motion was agreed to.
Mr. MANGLES moved the omission of the name of the
Iron. Sir J. T. Coleridge from the commissioners. He con-
tended that Sir J. T. Coleridge had given his concurrence
to all the opinions of Dr. Newman ; and on the trial of
• •Athilli v. Newman, Sir J. Coleridge, the judge who deli-
vered the judgment of the court, delivered a high pane-
gyric on the writings of Dr. Newman, and he maintained
that the Government had gone out of their way to select
. such a gentleman to be one of the Oxford Commissioners.
The CHANCELLOR, of the EXCHEQUER said, that
with respect to Mr. Justice Coleridge, the bon. gentleman
spoke of it as if it was an analogy to an appointment of
that learned judge by the Government. The wish of the
Government was to place upon the commission the names
of gentlemen approved by the University and the country.
Re I elieved the bulk of the University lay between the
two extremes of opinion, which characterised two parties in
_it, and were not coloured by those opinions, and he thought
air. Justice Coleridge was highly respected by the large
Majority of the university. With reference to the lan-
guage attributed by the hon. member to Mr. Justice Cole-
ridge, the hon. member ought in fairness to have stated
from what source ho derived that langeage, and be
tithe
Chancellor of the Exchequer) felt bound to say, that ho
• did not believe that Mr. Justice Coleridge had used the
lmgnasce attributed to him.
Mr. °WALPOLE said the Government, and not the
Rouse of Commons, must be considered as responsible for
the appointment of the Oxford commissioners, and he
must say, for himself, that the present commissioners were
not altogether the gentlemen he should have selected, but
at the same time, to'hvoid personal disquisitions of a most
painful and disagreeable nature, he thought the house
should acquiesce in the gist of couimissioners uamad by the
Government, and as for Mr. Justice Coleridge, he believed
that that learned judge was far above being swayed in
the discharge of any duty imposed upon him, either by
political, or party, or religious considerations, and there-
fcro ho trusted the house would not acquiesce in the mo-
tion of the hon. member (Mr. Mangles).
Mr. IIORSMAN thought they must postpone personal
considerations in such a matter as this to a grave public
duty ; and be considered that in sending down a com-
misioner entrusted with high powers to Oxford,
they must not forget that that gentleman had himself been
• subjected to the gravest censure of the university. The
lion, member entered at considerable length into the re-
ligious movement which has been going on at Oxford
for the livet twenty ye er GOlngting Air, Juaticv Colo.
