The unparalickd emtent of there Sermons have experienced
front the Public. with the unqualif.ed encotnitints bellowed upon
them by the different Reviews, makes it unitseeliary to fay any
thing farther in their prinfe. The found Doctrines they contain,
and moral precepts they inculcate, render them an ()Wed of admi-
ration with the Divine; and their being tranflated into fo many
Foreign Languages (and rapid Lie), is a farther proof of the in-
'riche merit of tilde exe,lient &mom.

UNIVIRSITIFS OF OXFORD •ND C tMBRIDEPR.
The Bifhop of Osford moved the ordef of the day
for the Houle refolving itfeif into a Committee on
the Oiford and Cambridge Univerfity Bill.
Lord VU-count SIDMOU rH expreired his regret
at feeling himfelf compelled to oppofe the Bill. He
thought, however, that many evils would refolt from
allowing the Colleges an unlimited power of 'pur-
-1 charm+n benefices ; that the fucceffron to benefices
would thereby become too rapid, whilli, at the fame
time, the patronage of the Church would be, in too
great a degree, taken out of lay hands. Some mo-
dification of the prefent reiramt might, he admit-
ted, be of ufe ; for inltance if the Colleges were to
be allowed to purchafe benefices to the number of
three fourths of their fellows. Much, he thought.
might alfo be done by augmenting the value of
(mall livings, and inereafing the number of Churches.
The prefent:Bill, lie thought, went a great deal too
far in aboli(hing altogether that rear tint which had
been wifely impofed ; and he, therefore, moved to
poOpone the Committee to this day three months.
The Bilhop of OXFORD thought that tome of the
t•fics touched upon by the Noble Vilcount might
form good fubjeCts for a feparate Bill, but had little
connection with the prefent.
The Arcbhifhop of CANTERBIThY likewife de-
fended the Bill which he thought would be highly
beneficial in its operation.
Lord AUCKLAND thought that no Wain were be-
fore their Lordlhips on which they could with pro-
priety proceed.

The•Bi(hop of OXFORD raid, he had the figures
with him which would give the neceiTary information
to the Committee.

Lnrd AUCKLAND proceeded to obferve, tiro the
information ought to be laid upon the table in an of-
ficial nay before they proceeded further in the con-
lideratina of the. Bill.

Lord GRENVILLE contended, that the argu-
ment of the Noble Lords that further information was
wanting, was a good argument for going into the
Committee, whet e that information might be obtained.
Lord Vilcount SIDMOUTH and Lord AUCK-
LAND fi-verally explained the former Noble Lord
raid he ihnitid not take the fenfe of the Iloufe upon
his mn;inn.

The BISI-10P of LONDON expreffed himfelf a
warm friend to the Bill, which he thought mould be
produetive of none of tbofe difadvantages which had
hcen attached to it.

The BISHOP of ST. ASAPH thought the re-
tiraining elude in Lord Hardwicke's Bill, which it
was the objea of this Bill to repeal, abfurd in itfelf,
as it ellablilhed a general regulation for all the Col-
leges in the two Univerfitie-, without any refetence
to the particular and Rate of each.
The LORD CHANCELLOR laid he had made
up his mind decidedly to fupport the prelim Bill.—
He thought there was no common fenfe in the coat-
ment witch rettfained the Colleges intlifctiminatelv
from yirctialing more benefices in number than half
the number of their Fellows. There were two Colleges
a Oxford, in one of which there were twelve Fellows
...110 were all E,:clefla (lies, and in the other there were
alfo twelve Fcßows, only fix of whom could be Ec-
clefiailics. In this cafe, therefore, the enafting clank
to which he had alluded, by making no ciiltinaion,
had evidently given one College a much greater be-
nefit than the other. As to any damages to be ap-
prehended from a monopoly of patronage in the
hands of the Univerfities, he lamented he was obliged
to fay, that even if this Bill naffed, Iron the flue of
the funds of the different Colleges, there was great
reafon to fear that it could not he attended, with r.•
fpee to the acquilition• of benefices, with Al thole be.
neficial effetqs which it was highly clearable Ihmild be
the reit& With refpee,however,to any dang, t of that
defcriptiOn, he was not afraid of our unives lities; but
when he law a body of men'affoeiating for the pur-
pole of publicly maintaining tenets which were little
thort of tchifm from the Eitablifhed Church, and at
the fame time buying up (mall livings, for the purpofe
of putting perfons in the pulpit to preach (Mt, ines
contliary to thole of the Ellablifhed Church ;when be
law alfo church patronage brought to market, anal
bought and fold, it was there he had realm' to appre-
hend danger, and not from the Univerlities, which
had given to the country the far greater part of thole
men who had been moD eminent in church and Rate.
Lord EL I.F.NBOROUGH wifhed that Come fcale
might be deviled by which they might be enabled to
limit the operation of this Bill.
The BISHOP of OXFORD doubted the praCti-
cabi:ity eflablilhing any fcale of that defcription. •
The Duke of NORFOLK thought the Bill re-
' quired modification, which, it it did not receive in
the Committee, he fhould oppure it in its tublequent
Itages.
The mntinn of Lord Sidmouth was then negatived,
and the Bid was committed pro forma.
The BISHOP of OXFORD moved, that the Com-
mittee Ihotild tit again on IVcdnelday ; which was
agreed to, and the Lords ordered to be fommoned
1 fOr that Jay.—Adjourntd. 'I crn aver.
