LONDON.
FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 27, 1835.

The combat thickens. The Tory Administration
last night sustained no less than FOUR several defeats
in the House of Commons, having been out-voted on
that number of points. Although the subjects
of the divisions are not all of equal importance,
yet the result sets in a strong light the extreme
weakness—the helpless imbecility—the superannuated
decrepitude—of the Ministerial body, combined with
a tenacity of existence wholly unexampled, save and
except among that class of domestic animals, each of
which is said to be endowed with nine precious lives.
There is an old and familiar adage which says,

" A spaniel, a wife, and a walnut tree,
The more you beat them, the better they be."

If we could flatter ourselves that the same rule would
hold good in the case before us, we would not grudge
the trouble or delay of a few days' more sound thrash-
ing—nay, if even% few weeks' thorough belabouring
could hold out any rational prospect of accomplishing
so desirable an object, we are sure the country would
contemplate the spectacle if not with exultation, as-
suredly with patience and edification. But we fear
we cannot indulge, nor advise our readers to indulge,
any very flattering hopes of Ministerial improvement
from the severe discipline which, according to the
adage we have quoted, produces effects so beneficial
on the parties therein mentioned. The transactions
of last night convince us that Ministers are a class of
objects which, the more you beat them " the worse
they be." For to say nothing of what they have un-

dergone on former occasions—we find them in this
last exhibition guilty of very aggravated misbehaviour,
and after three separate and distinct " pommellings,"
needlessly subjecting themselves to a fourth.
The question relating to the London University, in
the discussion of whick the Ministers and their friends
Made so poor a figure, is very simple. The por-
tals of the Universities, so richly endowed with
national property are closed against Dissenters. H.
Gow.BunN, Esq., will not consent that his sons shall
he contaminated (that is his happy word) by the pre-.
senceof a Dissenter within the same walls. Well, sav
the Dissenters, if you will not admit us to the national
seats of education, at least allow us to have a Uni-
versity of our own. We have at a great expence
founded such an institution ; and ail we want, is a
charter giving our University the usual privilege of con-
ferring degrees—you will not surely refuse us this.
Yes—even this is refused. To the eternal disgrace of
Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Government, the motion for an
address to the CROWN, to grant a charter to the London
University was resisted by them —was resisted by
men, who are in the same breath proclaiming their
desire to redress all dissenting grievances----to put
Dissenters on a footing of perfect equality with
members of the establishment—how loathsome is such
hypocrisy as this The present Administration may
after this propose what measures they please for the
relief of the Dissenters—they may make what regu-
lations they choose about marriage ceremonies—
they will never convince the Dissenters that any
measures proceeding from such a source can be
founded on a sincere desire to befriend them, or to
better either their civil or religious condition.
To look for any thing in the shape of an argument
in opposition to Mr. Tom: E's motion, would be the
vainest of all vain tasks. Sir ROBERT INGms, that
very good, but not very wise man, objected to the power
of granting degrees being given to the London University
because it did not consist of a number of distinct
Colleges, like Oxford or Cambridge ! How many
Colleges does the University of Edinburgh or

Glasgow—to say nothing of the other Scot-
tish Universities consist of ? Do all the
Continental Universities contain more than one
college ?—and are they not competently qualified
to confer degrees ? In deference to the prejudices
of the English Universities, it is conceded that the
London University shall not grant degrees in Divinity
and Medicine.—Oh ! says Sir R. INGL is, that

amounts to nothing—there are very few degrees in Div'

nity granted at Oxford. Now we had always considered
the privilege the more valuable on that very account. The
honores rari are those which an aspiring mind would
most anxiously covet. No, says the Hon. Baronet,
the more degrees you bestow, the more highly prized
they will be!
The Ministers are in a pretty dilemma. The House
of Commons has voted an Address to the KING,
praying him to do that which they (the Ministers)
