and important On Thursday motion by Mr.. HErwooD
to add clause to the Oxford University BILL providing
that oath should be required upon matricuation,
when taking any degree excepting those Of theological
character discussed at great length The object was
to abolish all religious and distinctions, and to adj

by the University The first part of the clause, that
ating to naturalization, carried by vote Of 252
against 16l The second, relating to the oath taking
degrees, then proposed, and rejected by vote of
2O5 against 196. This rejected clause, in modified

the objects and ends of the war; and to lessen the pros

was withdrawn on Friday Lord JOHN RUSSELL agreed

Thursday. On Monday evening Lord ABERDEEN brought
forward his promised motion for the production of the
patch written by him to ST. Peersburgh in $780, in re-
erence to the treaty of Adrianople, and made long
