confusion) ; that he would betray the latter at any sacrifice,
to secure the former; but not so with the men to whom he
(Sir R.) alluded.

Mr. G. W. WOOD rose to reply. [The laughing, jeer-
ing, shouting, and coughing were such as we never before
witnessed.] The Hon. Gentleman said it had been declared
that the Bill in its present stage was essentially different from
what it was when he had the honour to introduce it to the
House. [At this moment two Hon. Members, " o'er all the
ills of life victorious," suddenly entered from the smoking-
room into the Opposition gallery, and stretching themselves
at full length on the seats, secure from the observation of the
Speaker, commenced a row of the most discreditable charac-
ter,] 'this he denied—(" I say, can't you crow," laughter
and uproar.) The provisions had not been altered.—[ Hear
him how he reads"—Mr. Wood occasionally glanced at a me-
morandum in his hand]—the enactments were in every respect
unaltered.—( Loud cheering, followed by bursts of laughter.)
The question was—(" Rea it—read it 1" and great uproar)
—the question—("just so, read it")—the question was—(great
cheering and laughter)—whether—{" that's the question")__
whether the Universities should be open to all, or be for ever
under the control of mere monopolists—(" Where's the man
what crows?" laughter and loud cries of " order" from the
Speaker.) Public opinion—(" Oh, dear," and great uproar,
during which the Speaker, evidently excited, was loudly call-
ing for order, and turning his glass in every direction to note
the delinquent members)—public opinion was decidedly in fa-
vour of this Bill.—(The scene here was indescribable. )
The SPEAKER rose, and with much indignation in his
tone and manlier, said, " I really think that some one among
those who are calling out in this strange and unparliamentary
manner, would better satisfy the Hon. Members with whom he
is acting, by moving at once that the debate be adjourned,
than by taking a course of opposition which is so greatly at
variance witlithe established usages of the House.—( Loud
cheers.)
Mr. G. W. WOOD resumed :—He was a constant and un-
flinching attendant in that House, and never took the liberty
of wasting the time of Hon. Members ; few men, indeed,
spoke less than he did. And now he would not have occupied
the attention of the House at all, but for a call which hail been
made upon him to explain certain clauses. Indeed, Hon. Mem-
bers had actually complained because he did not more fully go
into the merits of the Bill—( Hear, hear)—and had challenged
him to do so. He was but performing his duty.—( Hear, hear.)
But to resume. The Bill thoroughly opened the Universities
to the Dissenters, but then it abstained from interference with
the constitution of any college—(" Question," "divide."
"bah, bah.") It left the colleges unfettered and uncontrolled;
they might modify existing rules or not just as appeared best
to their own body or authorities. The row here recommenced,
and hindered us from following the Hon. Gentleman, who
argued that much good would result from the youth of different
religions associating together, by which intolerance would be
checked, charity promoted, and society strengthened and
improved.

The House then divided, when there appeared—

being 40 Members present, it adjourned at three o'clock.
