Mr. HENLEY said he should give his vote against the
second reading of the bill, as he thought it would tend to
break down the distinctive teaching of their colleges.
Mr. LOWE said the evil complained of by the right hon.
gentleman opposite, viz., that the distinctive teaching of
the colleges would be broken down by the bill, was made
too late, because now in some of the colleges at Oxford Non-
conformists and Jews were to be admitted on certain con-
ditions. The bill was a small concession to Dissenters, so
much so that it might almost be said to be in existence.
The Dissenters wanted more and were entitled to more,
and he did not see that there was any justice in refusing
them the facilities for obtaining the highest educational
attainments, and the placing of them on an equality with
the other portions of her Majesty's subjects. He could
not but think that those gentlemen who had up to the
present brought forward these motions had taken
a wrong course. They had proposed to do little,
instead of going into the whole question. He did
not admire stepping-stones and instalments ; on the con-
trary, he thought that had a broad and comprehensive
bill been brought in, which would rouse public sympathy
and interest, the object they had been so long trying
to obtain in a roundabout way would at once be conceded,
because there was no withstanding the demand made for it.
Mr. G. HARDY strongly objected to the bill.
Mr. GOSCHEN said the operation of the bill would not
be to endanger the Church by privileges conferred on
Dissenters ; those dangers were occasioned by religious
controversy. He was glad the question had been brought
within the present narrow limits, and. he hoped the issue
would be taken upon the principle laid down in the bill.
Viscount CRANBORNE thought the bill one for the
suppression of religious education in Oxford, and therefore
he most strenuously opposed it.

Mr. COLERIDGE, in reply, said that he was very de-
sirous that there should be no mistake upon what the
division should be taken. Ile could submit to no com-
promise—the principle he was bound to was that laid
down in the bill, and from that he could not depart.
The house then divided, when there appeared—

The bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be

BOSTON ELECTION.

The CHAIRMAN of the Boston election committee said
they had come to the unanimous conviction that Mr. Parry
had not been duly elected, but that Mr. Staniland ought
to have been returned. The report also stated that bribery
had been committed, but it did not appear to be within the
cognizance of Mr. Parry.
The Clerk of the Crown was ordered to attend to-mor-
row to announce the return.

The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and
the house adjourned.
