this descripti-u. But in the inquiries to which he had
alluded the Universities were carefully exempted; be
' cause it was known that improvements were going on,
and nothing was so much to be avoided as interfering
with the course of them. It was said that the inqtyry
then was compulsory, and this was to be voluntary: so
much the worse. We should have one-sided information
—(Hear)—those who were discontented with all that was
done, and all that was not done, would come forward
readily enough, while those who were attacked by these
informers—the persons giving this information—would
have no means of de eurling themselves. Their evidence
would be, not themselves, but other persons, and, they
had not the power of summoning any one. It was as
if he were indicted for au offence, and the Crown had
the power of summoning witnesses, but he had not.
Then, too, there were parties who had taken oaths,
which sew:hi not allow of their producing their' docu-
ments before such a voluntary commission.—(Hear,
hoar) Therecore he (Lord Broughato) objected to this
proce ding. He had been rather astonished te read the
letter of the illustrious Prince to whom the Noble Lord
had referred. He was the Chancellor of a univer.ity,
and he (Lord Broughe.tn), for oom. deeply regretted that
that illustrious Prince was placed by th.: mi.teken ze 11
of his friends in that false position ; and for this obvious
reason, that the chancellor of a university ought to be a
person wholly unconnected with the Crown, wholly in-
dependent of the Crown, because it might be hiihounden
duty as Chancellor of the University to be in conflict
with the Crown. His islghle and Illustrious friend (the
Duke of Wellington) was unconn sated with the Cie. vu,
and might well perform his duties as a chancellor;
he was in no false position; Prince Albert was in a false
position, because ho was connected with the Crown by
certain ties, anti yet he was bound to stand up for the
University against the Crown. The consequence was a
very great unpopularity incurred by the libistri;)us
Prince. And, by the way, he mistook the law of this
country a little, when he said that a Royal ComaiiiSiOn
spoke the sense of the Parliament. It was a very natu•
ral mistake for those to fall into who lived in countries
where the Legislature and the Sovereign were one and
the same person. But the Royal Commission spoke the
sense of the Crown, and in no way of the Parliament.
With respect to what the Noble Earl had said, it would
hardly be thought much comfort perhaps that the model
upon which this commission was framed was the Chap-
ter Commission; that was not supposed to be very po-
pular with the cathedral bodies. He denied that the
proceeding at all arose from a want of respect to the Uni-
versities; but was it from a deference to the prejudices
or feelings of certain persons, whom the Noble Lord
not obscurely adumbrated? For he said—" We must
not leave it to the colleges to reform themselves,
because that would not satisfy those who bad. strong
prejudices against the colleges." Now that was not a
reason for issuing a commission. The question was,
whether it was right or wrong, not whether these pee-
would be satisfied or not.—(Hear, hear.) Just in the
same way we were going to have the Post- office ar-
rangements altered, and no letters delivered in or sent
out from any town on the Sunday; and so you might
write your letter on the most important subject, about
some bill of exchange falling due, or any other matter,
and you might put it into the Post-office, but it would
not leave the place till the Monday. The Saturday let-
ters might arrive on Sunday, but you must wait till
Nionday to receive them; the letters that had hitherto
1, ft on Sunday would not go out at all, and you must
wait till Tuesday to receive them; working a degree of
inconvenience which would prove most hurtful to mer-
cantile men. But all this was done because there was a
pressure from without, which must be yielded to.
The Earl of CARLISLE would be sorry that an in-
ference should be drawn from any words of his which he
had not intended to convey. When he referred to the
commission relating to chapters, it was not his intention
to indicate that the same results were likely to follow
from this commission as followed from that.—(Hest,
hear.) T heir revenues were tran,ferred, be it right or
wrong, to other persons and purpose.. There were no
others to whom it was proposed to trausfer the property
of the Universities.
Lord BROUGHAM was not sure of that.
The Earl of CARLISLE disclaimed any such inten.
tion. He only referred to the former commission for
the purpose of showing that this proceeding was dictated
by no want of respect.—(Hear, }lsar.)
The Duke of WELLINGTON was happy to hear
the explanation of the Noble Earl. He must confess ho
was perfectly satisfied with what was stated in the first
instance, en the understanding that the intention was to
make choice of the persons who should compose this
proposed commission on the principle on which the per-
sons were selected who composed the Ecclesiastical Com-
mission.—(Hear.)
Lord BROUGHAM observed that if a commission
was appointed, though it should consist of angels, this
must inevitably follow—they must open their doors, and
their ears, and their books of notes to receive the infor-
mation and all the accusations that any discontented per-
sons chose to ley before them ; nor could they suppress
this. It must be reported and printed, end laid before
Parliament.

The Duke of WELLINGTON entirely agreed with
his Noble and Learned Friend (Lord Brougham) upon
the ab,tract question of the appointment of a commis-
sion to iccilire into the Universities at all.—(flear, hear.)
He (the Duke of Wellington) had stated his opinion
upon that question, and he did not thick it necessary to
state it again. That upon which he intended to express
his satisfaction was the explanation of the Noble Earl
respecting the choice of the members of the commis-
lion..—(Dear, hear.) The Noble Lord himself, who had
declared his intention of advising the appointment ..f
this commission, had stated in his letter addressed t,
the illustrious Prince and to himself, as the chancellors
of the Universitt, s, the object to which the inquiries
should be directed. lie (the Duke of Wellington) cer-
tainly did not derire that those inquiries should be made;
he did not think those inquiries were necessary. But if
we were to have a commission, he did desire that it
should be composed in tho manner referred to by the
Noble Earl.
The motion was then agreed to.

SPORTING IN TEI.L,IGF.INCE.
AscoT RACES—Tuurisoay.
Although the " clerk of the weather," to the great
terror of the holiday folkv, seemed very much inclined
in the early part of the day to give his fiat in favour of
rain, he ultimately compromised the matter for two or
three smart showers, which hardly served to lay the
dust ou the road, and had no effect on the course, which
in some parts was as hard as,bricks. To see the crowds
of carriages and pedestrians, which kept arriving up to
the Moment of starting for the first race, no ot‘e need
have been under the slightest apprehension that the
glories of the Ascot Cun Day were on the wane, as the
assemblage equalled what we have observed on many
former occasions. Still the knowledge that what has
been well termed " the handsomest procession of the
year," would not issue from the gates of Windsor Castle,
and tints give her enthusiastic subjects their a multi peep
at her Majesty, had undoubtedly the effect of keeping
many away. Notwithstanding this drawback, every
form and manner of man seemed present. down to the
indigenous " Paddy," of Queen's Hounds notoriety, and
Paddock, who jested at his scars in a bomb, and about
the death of whose reremc antagonist, Bendigo, a very
general rumour was afloat. All the " hemours of the
rsteee" were in lull force; tumblers went throueh their
eetraerdinary evolutions, and the sun-buret followers of
Lady Moore Carew muttered their se.tal horoscopes to
as many as chose to cross their hands with a bit of
silver, with as much energy and mystery as ever. All
the interest of the day was concentrated on the meeting
of the Flying Dutchman und Ctineeeu, for the Empe-
ror's Plato. It will be remembered that in the last
Houghton meeting L Stanley forwarded a challenge
to Lord Eglitaton, to run him over the 'l'. M. M., the
mare to carry Bst 101 b, and the horse Bst 21b. This
Lord Eglinton declined, on the ground that he was not
sure of a walk over in the Belvoir Stakes, which came
off on the list day of that meeting, though it was said
at the time, that if Lord Stanley would have consented
to have his mare weighted at Set 131 b, his challenge
would have been accepted. The present was the first
chance they had of meeting since, which they did at a
difference of 61b for the year, and we seldom remember
so much general interest excited about any cup race.
To the surprise of nearly all, it turned out a most hol-
low affair; Centzou, atter forcing the running from
the Swiuley starting-post, not only finishing ten
lengths bebiad the Dutchman, but being caught and
cleverly beaten at the Stand by old Jericho. In both
the Visitors' Plate and the St. James's Palace Stakes
the winners merle strong running. The latter event was
a very near thing with four out of the five, and much
delight was experienced when Lord Exeter's number
was hoisted on the telegraph, as his horses had been
running all the week with very moderate success. The
New Stakes produced a good field, and a fair day's rac-
ing was brought to a close by five o'clock.
The Reyel Stand, and the Stewards' Room in the
weighing stand, were full of elegantly-dressed women,
and great numbers were congregated on the lawn in
front of the Grand Stand, where, by the way, a better
supply of seats would have been very acceptable. Of
