TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD.


LONDON, April o5, 1872
During the session OF the House OF Commons to-
night Mr.. Fawcett, with the view of securing the
attention OF the Speaker and members, moved an
adjournment OF the sitting.
This Afforded the honorable gentleman an oppOr-
tunity to make an explanation in regard to the
Dublin University Tests bill. He complained of the
course OF the government In regard to the bill.
Session after session measure OF this kind had
been promised, but none having appeared, this bill
had to be introduced by persons outside of
the Ministry The government had sup
ported the second reading of the BILL and
now they wanted half of it eliminated,
treating procedure with the entire bill as vote OF
want OF confidence. He wanted the House to say
whether the bill should be proceeded with cut in
two. The government had taken course which
was fatal to the privileges Of private members.
Unquestionably three-fourths OF the House
favorable to the BILL but since the threat Of dsso-
luton members had come to him saying they were
In favor Of the bill, but If they had to decide be-
tween the Dublin University Tests and the liberal
government they would feel constrained to throw
the former overheard.
Mr.. Fawcett concluded with promise that II the
government would give a specified day to the bill
In committee Its promoters would be satisfied
Dr. Playfair, member for Ednburg and st.
Fawcett's motion He could not let the opportunity
pass without expressing regret at the Of the
government, which, calling itself liberal, and
making great professions Of interest In popular
education for years. could not understand how
dangerous 1t was to invite Ministerial crisis on a
question 80 insignificant.
Right Hon. Mr.. Bouverie member for Kilmarnock
"a liberaD, also supported the motion. He called
to mind the defeat which the government had lately
suffered, and admonshed the Ministers that the
confidence OF the House was already shaken. He
quoted the article In the London Daily Neocs of
Monday last, announcing, by way OF threat, that
the government had determined to make the Dub
lin University bill Cabinet question 1t was scan
House through the medium of newspaper. He
asked Mr. Gladstone who the author OF that article
was; whether he was member Of the Cabinet
and, II so, whOS
MI. Gladstone in reply, complained OF the strange
Inaccuracies into which the speakers had fallen.
He admitted that the government was pledged to
take up the subject of education in Ireland and
that that pledge had not yet been fulfilled, but
solely from want OF time. Two sessions had been
given to the complaints Of Ireland, and now Eng
land and Scotland were neglected He denied all
responsibility for the newspaper article, said he
not aware Of its author and protested against being
member from Brighton to appoint day for the con-
sideraton Of his bill it Impossible to grant it
he could not do as much even for government
measures.
A long and acrimonious debate followed. Mr.
George Morgan, of Denbighshire, called the member
for Brighton political Ishmae, and advised him to
go over to the conservatives
Mr.. Fawcett pronounced the answer given him by
the government unsatisfactory, and closed the dis
ment, declaring he should push the bill hereafter as
q private member.
The House went into committee the Ballot BILL
and several amendments proposed by the govern.
ment were adopted by large majorities.
