'REVISION OF THE STATUTES.—In reply to a question
from Lord Lyndhurst, the LORD CHANCELLOR said that
the government did not mean to introduce any measure on

COURT-B.—ln answer to a question
from Lord St. Leonard's, the LORD CHANCELLOR said
that-the hills affecting the jurisdiction of the ecclesiastical

court were particularly deal. _a by the Testamentary
Jurisdiction Bill and the Matrimonial Divorce Bill; but
the general relief as, to their efficiency was effected by
what was called the Ecclesiastical Courts Bill ; and all
these measures would, if not in the present session, at any
rate as soon as possible, be pressed forward so as speedily
to effect the object they were intended to effect.

UNIVERSITY Rnroi.3l.—The berme went into com-
mittee on the Oxford University Yell, when, the clauses
from 1 to b having been agreed to, Lord WARD moved the
following elause in lieu of clause &:—" The Hebdomadal
Council shall consist of the Vice-Chancellor, the Proctors,
six Heads of Colleges or. Halls, six Professors of the Uni-
versity, together with six Members of Convocation of not
less than five years' standing, to be Elected by the Con-
gregation hereinafter mentioned of the' said University,
and the Vice-Chaneellor or his deputy stall be President
of

such Hebdomadal Council."---The amendment was
carried by 107 to 83 ; and an amendment moved by the
Earl of DERBY, to substitute the word " convocation" for
"congregation," was negatived by 99 to 72. Clauses 7to
26 were agreed to, and Lord DEBBY moved the entire
rejection of clause 27, which provided for the establish-
ment of private halls, and which he regarded as an inno-
vation on the constitution and discipline of the Univer-
sity.—On a division it was carried by 109 to 76.—After
this division, Lord DMZ/3r remarked that, as it was plain
the government could carry whatever it desired, he should
only make suggestions.—Clauses 28 to 51 were agreedlo
with but slight opposition. To that clause which regu-
lates the oath to be taken at matriculation, so as to admit
Dissenters, Lord DERBY raised objections, and opposed its
being adopted.—The
,Bishop of OXFORD charged Lord
Derby with inconsistency, "and the Bishop of Sr. Astni
and the Duke of ARGYLL supported the clause, which was
carried by a majority of 73 to 47.—The remaining clauses
were then agreed to, and at half-past 2 o'clock their lord-
ships adjourned.
