netted with that body ; but ho was satisfied that there was
a considerable minority who agreed with him in approv-
ing this bill and in thinking that the connexion be-
tween the Universities and the Church of England would
not be endangered by its passing. Although a few
Nonconformists might be admitted to the governing
bodies, yet the Collegn, which were not affected by this
measure, would still remain under the charge and control
of members of the Church, and speaking more particularly
of Cambridge ho observed that even were Dissenters to
become members of the Senate, yet this could only deckle
questions submitted to thorn by the Council, which is
elected by the Heads of Hou‘Ses and Fellows. Be sup-
ported tho bill because it would increase the advantages
of these great national institutions, and by extending their
influence would increase their stability; while, on the
other hand, if the bill should now be defeated no one
could doubt but .that in the new condition of political af-
fairs about to open renewed and determined efforts would
be made to achieve the object now sought.
The Bishop of PETERBOROUGH denied that the Uni-
versities were national institutions in the sense of being
the creation of the nation, although they were national
because they conferred great benefits upon the nation. Not
admitting that Dissenters were insulted by being excluded
from the governing bodies of institutions closely connected
with the Church, he desired the rejection of the bill, be-
lieving that the Universities would themselves take steps
to remove all solid grounds of complaint from any class.
The Duke of SOMERSET thought it would be prudent
to attract to the_ Universities the sympathies of those who
would hereafter probably exercise much political power.
Lord CARNARVON objected to small bills affecting the
Universities upon particular points, and thought that all
suggested alterations should be included in a general
vensure which should be submitted to the new Parlia-
ment about to be called under new conditions.

Lord CAMPEUDOWN sieported the bill, but Lord Altus-
DEL of WARDOUR, as a Roman Catholic, felt bound to sup-
port the principle of a State Chutcb, and, therefore should
vote for the bill.

The Duko of St. ALBAN'S, speaking from his expe-
rience at Cambridge, considered the present system of
tests to be most unjust to individuals and injurious to the
Universities.

Lord STANIIOPE spoke in favour of the amendment.
Lord RUSSELL, regarding the Universities as national
institutions, conceived it to be only in harmony with the
tendency of legislation during the last few years that per-
sons of all religious denominations should bo admitted to
their benefits.

Upon a division the amendment was carried by 74 to 46
votes, and the bill was consequently lost.
The sitting was closed at 20 minutes to 11 o'clock.

lIOUSE OF COMMONS—LAST EVENING.
The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock.
THE SNIDER MIME.

In reply to an HoN MEMBER,
Sir J. PAKINGTON sail 216,223 out of 300,000 rifle
ordered to be converted had been completed. The con.
version was going on at the rata of 1,100 per day.
THE CATTLE PLAGUE.

Lord E. CECIL asked the Vice-President of the Council
whether ho could give any information relative to the out-
break of the cattle plague iu Essex.
Lord R. MONTAGU said the outbreak of the disease
in Essex had not been so extensive as had been stated.
Only seven beasts had been attacked during the last
month. The examination of the cattle landed at Harwich
from Antwerp took place within the 12 hours the beasts
were in quarantine, so that the orders for removal could
be given immediately on the expiration of that time.
Mr. BRIGHT asked whether other diseases than cattle
plague were reported to the authorities, because the price
of moat was kept up at an excessively high price.
Lord R. MONTAGU said that other diseases wore re-
ported, but ho did not think the high price of meat was
attributable to the cattle plague.
BIRCHING- CADETS.

In reply to Mr. BAss,
Mr. COrtRY said inquiry had been made relative to the
alleged cruel punishment to cadets on board the Britannia.
The cadets were not punished with the greatest cruelty.
The practice hitherto had been to birch cadets, but they
were not fastened to ring bolts, and the birch used was
somewhat smaller than that used at Westminster. An
order, however, dated the Bth of last month, had been
issued abolishing the system. of birching cadets altogether
on board the Britannia. (hear, hear.)
PRIVATE EXECUTIONS BILL.

Mr. Sergeant GASELEE asked whether it was intended

to proceed with this bill during the present session. Ho
h•id attended night after night to oppose it, and he was
afraid it might be taken some night after 12 o'clock. As his'
state of health would not allow him to attend at that hour
any longer, he wanted to know if it was intended to go on
with the bill.

Mr. HARDY said out of consideration for the state of
the learned gon Liman's health the bill would not be pro-
ceeded with. (Hear, hear, and laughter).

SUPPLY.

On the motion that the houso go into committee a
supply for the purpose of considering the Army Supple-
..

mentary Estimates,

Lord ELCHO moved the following resolution : —" That,
inasmuch as it is the ancient and undoubted prerogative of
the Crown to require the military service of its liege sub-
jects, and inasmuch as: liability to personal service, within
the limits of the United Kingdom, has always been and
still is the principle on which the Militia force is founded,

it is desirable, in framing any scheme or the establish-
ment of an army of reserve, and for the more com-
plete and economical organisation of the mili-
tary capabilities and defensive power of the
nation, to consider how far this ancient principle should
be practically enforced, and how it can be best applied
with least inconvenience to the people. That it is further
desirable, with a view to the more full and deliberate con-
sideration of this important subject, that the Army Reserve
and Militia Reserve Bills should be withdrawn for the pre-
sent session of Parliament. The noble lord then pro-
ceeded to refer to the nature and scope of the two bills,
when

Sir J. PAKINGTON rose to order. Ho thought he was
altogether transgressing the rules off the house in anticipa-
ting the discussion that must arise on a bill standing for a
second reading, and also in making comments upon that
which it was presumed he was about to say.
The SPEAKER told the noble lord that he must confine
himself to the first portion of his motion.

Lord ELCHO said he would at once act upon the
direction from the chair. The noble lord then pro-
ceeded to state his view upon the best means for creating
an army of reserve, and said that he thought the most ex-
cellent results would follow the adoption of the ballot for the
militia. No doubt some inconvenience would result from
the adoption of the ballot, but then he considered it was
the first duty of the subject to give his services to
the state in times of war. It was absolutely neces-
sary to have an efficient army reserve, and as it was
most certainly true that the best and most effective
moans of recruiting the regular army was from the militia,
he thought it wise to keep that branch of the service
up to its full strength, and for that purpose he thought it
absolutely necessary that the ballot should be put in oper-
ation, that no substitutes should be allowed, and the only
exception from the ballot should be those who belonged
to the Volunteer. force. If that system was adopted he
thought no fears might be entertained that the military
strength of the country would be kept in the most efficient
state. (Hear, hear.)

could
The militia, after having fallen very much into neglect,
had been revived about fiften years ago, and a remarkable
characteristic of that revival was that from the year 1852
we had been able to rely upon the voluntary principle for
recruiting their ranks ; and, at this moment the establish-
ment lequired, which was three-fourths of the whole
quota sanctioned by act of Parliament, was not at all short
of numbers. The Volunteer movement, too, supplied a
satisfactory answer ; for here were 180,000 men raised on
the voluntary principle, and in the face of such a fact as
that surely it would not be alleged that the militia could
not be maintained without having recourse to the ballot.
Looking at all the circumstances, then—the extent of the
Volunteer force, the success attendant on embodying the
militia on the voluntary principle, and that if the ballot
were wanted it could be put in operation in a few weeks—
he hoped the House would be of opinion that no case had
been made out for departing from that principle.
A short discussion followed, and eventually the motion
was withdrawn.

Major JERVIS subsequently raised a debate on the
riotous proceedings which took lilac° Itt the late elections
fur the counties of Waterford and Tipperary, and moved
however, was nega-

Sir J. PAKINGTON then moved tho remainder of the

House,
vote for the increase of pay to the militia, and in doing so
sketched out the scheme of the Government for establish-
ing an army of reserve. He observed that the extraordi-
nary revolution which had taken place of Into years in our
naval power was one cause which pointed to the necessity
of taking steps to increase our military power. For the
general purposes of war we had no reserve whatever,
though for bomb defence wo had the militia force, the full
quota of which was 120,000 men, a volunteer force of
180,000 men, and enrolled pensioners and the force raised
under Mr. Sidney Herbert's Act of 1859, amounting to
20,000 mon. By the plan of the Government, then, it was
proposed to form an army of reserve, to be employed in

any part of the world, to the extent of 50,000 mon. Tho
first and more important part of the plan was to rely upon
our militia to supply a considerablo portion of the reserve.
And this would be accomplished by maintaining the
militia at the full quota of 120,000, and enrolling one-
fourth of the number, or 30,000, upon tho condition that
they should be ready at any moment, in the event of war
or of war being imminent, to give their services in the
regular army in consideration of receiving double bounty
for their services as militiamen. The second portion of
the scheme was to raise another body of 20,000 mon, to
consist of soldiers of the regular army enlisted to servo for
twelve years, and who after having served for two-thirds
of the time would be willing, with the consent of their
commanding officers, to enrol themselves in the army of
reserve, on condition of serving two years in that army
for every one unexpired of their original enlistment.
They would also receive a double bounty, and the cost
which those two bodies would entail on the country for
increased bounty, for pay during 12 days' drill every year,
and clothing, would amount to about £230,000 a year.
The Marquis of HARTINGTON could not see the
grounds upon which it was proposed to increase the pay of
the militia. The same reasons did not exist as in the case
of the regular army. With regard to the plan for forming
a reserve, there was not much in it to object to, nor, in-
deed, to be particularly satisfied with. He thought, how-
ever, as Parliament was about to be reformed tho new class
of voters might take a different view of the matter from
those who had elected the present House of Commons, and
that, therefore, it would be better to postpone the question
for another year.

General PEEL was opposed to making any distinction
between the pay of the militia and that of the line, and
spoke earnestly in support of the scheme of the Govern-
ment.

General DUNNE had no doubt that the scheme was
adequate to meet the emergency of war, but he could not
look upon the reserve as a permanent force.
Criticisms were also passed upon the scheme by Mr.
O'Reilly, Major Dickson, Major Walker, Sir M. Beach,
Lord Elcho, and Sir FL Verney, and the vote was agreed
to.

A vote for increase of pay to marines was also agreed to
on the motion of Mr. Corry.

The Army Reserve Bill and the Militia Reserve Bil'
were read a socond time.

In committee of the whole house, on the motion of Sir
J. Pakington, a resolution was agreed to authorising the
raising of £BOO,OOO to defray the expense of the construc-
tion of works for the defence of the royal dockyards and
arsenals, and the ports of Dover and Portland.

The Poor-law Board Bill was recommitted, and a pro-
posal of Mr. Ayrtou's to limit the duration of the board to
five years was defeated on a division by 88 to 14.

The remaining orders on the imper were also disposed
of, and the house roso at a quarter past 3 o'clock.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

SOUTHAMPTON IWiES.-TIPJRSDAY.

Following in the wake of Winchester, and being rein-
forced by the company from Huntingdon, the attendance
at Southampton to-day was very large. In addition to the
usual followers of racing there was an immpse concourse
of pleasure-seekers, the largo number of carriages, filled
principally with fashionably-dressed ladies, rendering the
meeting worthy to be ranked with any reunion in the
kingdom. The course is most charmingly situated, about
two miles from the centre of the town, the scenery being
truly delightful, interspersed as it is with the noble trees
and the brillant foliage of underwood. The weather was
very fine, and the management in every department being
of the highest order, nothing was wanting to render the
meeting eminently successful and enjoyable. The racing
admits of but little description. Challenge added to his
winning score by carrying off the Hampshire Stakes,
albeit not without a severe struggle with Moose; and
Bouquetiore redeemed a hitherto unfortunate career by
placing the South-Western Plato to the credit of her
owner. Details of the day's sport are appended :

each agst Miss Alice and Knight Templar. The latter
made play, closely attended by Evergreen until reaching
the foot of the hill, where La Sorrentina and the favourite
drew away and finished en exciting race home, resulting
in favour of old Reindeer, who stayed the longest, by a.
short head. Evergreen was a bad third, Gentian fourth,
and Knight Templar last. Tho winner was claimed by
Mr. Ten Broeck.

Ann. Miss Camerine jumped off with the lead, followed
by Apron Strings, Toy, Snowdrift, and Cecil, Chivalry
laying well up of the others at the foot of the hill, where
Miss Camerine gave way, and Apron Strings was left with
the lead. Opposite the stand Clement brought up Chivalry,
who challenged Apron Strings, and won cleverly by a
neck. Our Mary Ann was a bad third, Miss Camerine
fourth, Snowdrift fifth, Toy sixth, Spiteful seventh, Cecil
eighth, and The Demon last.

Betting-6 to 4on Bouquetiere, 4to 1 agst Rally, 7to 1
agst Wild Dove, and 10 to 1 agst Alarmist. The start was
delayed by the fractiousness of Sunnyside, but when the
flag fell they got away on equal terms. After going 100
yards the favourite took up the running, and won in the
commonest of canters by three lengths. Half a length
separated second and third, Alarmist was fourth, Rinaldo
fifth, and Crossfire sixth. Sunnyside dil not pass the
post. The winner was bought by Mr. Hope for 310

Betting-7 to 4on Challenge, 4to 1 agst Moose, Bto 1
agst Black Prince, 10 to 1 agst Chevalier d'Esprit, and 12
to 1 agst the Maid of Masham filly. The moment the
word was given Little Wideawake rushed to the front, and
soon held a clear lead of Challenge and Chevalier d'Esprit,
clear of whom came Moose and Black Prince, the Maid of
Masham filly bringing up the rear. They ran with little
variation for a mile, when Little Wideawake, to avoid a
track, was compelled to pull out of the way as they rounded
the turn, and this loft Challenge with a slight lead of
Moose as they came into the straight. For the last half-
mile the race was a match between the pair, and at the
distance Moose appeared to have the best of it. The
moment, however, Mordan called upon the favourite he
answered with extraordinary gameness, and, getting his
head in front opposite the stand, won an exciting race by
a neck. The Maid of Masham filly was a bad third, Black
Prince fourth, Chevalier d'Esprit fifth, and Little Wide-
awake last. Immeliately after the race there were offers
to take 100 to 1 about Challenge for the St. Leger, but 50
to 1 was the hiBhest price tendered.
