GREAT BRITAIN.
We infer from the tone Of the Morning
Chronicle OF the fifteenth July, that the

together secure. Strong intimations are

10 the House OF Lords on The fourteenth
Of July, the earl OF Radnor, moved the sc
cond reading of the thirty nine articles of
the bill. the object of which was to repeal
the law which required subscription TO the
thirty nine articles on mairiculatlon, and
90 taking the degrees OF Bachelor Of Arts
and Master of Arts. if those degrees were
taken before the age OF twenty three. His
iordship supported the bill in speech OF
considerable length, contending that the
articles referred TO were seldom under

that university did not always insist upon
il. several distinguished persons having
been admitted to the degree Of Doctor,
without going through such Formally.
The Archbishop of Canterbury opposed
the bill. He maintained that the practice
was justifabe, inasmuch as the object was
TO support the establishment. and that TO
pass a bill like the present would be to pro-
nounce a censure upon the establishment
that was not deserved. he moved as an
amendment, that the bill be deferred ill
that day three months.
After an extended discussion the house
divided. The numbers were, for the bill,
fifty seven against it, one hundred and
sixty three; majority against it, one hun
dred and three.
