Mr It Palmer moved that It he an Instruction to the committee 
that they have power to provide for tho case of Winchester College In 
connection with New College. ... 
t|ii- Chancellor of tho Exchequer nssented to tho motion. 
After a few word. Rom Mr. Walpole, tho »oU« wm “*T 7j llV e'r»Uy 
on the motion for going into committee on tho Oxford Unlvci y 
IU M r . Hey wood, pursuant to notice, moved, as an amendment, that tho 
bill he referred to a select committee. 
Mi Newdegato would vote for the amendment. 
was not to meet nil tho defects that might he pointed out, but . to take 
n practical view nf the question. There was scarce apiovlBlonhitho 
bill which was not calculated to Infuse a greater spirit of fre^om lnto 
Die lnstltuli ms of tho universities, and to remedy the existing defect, 
with regard to education, and particularly tbcologlt^ education. 
\lter the universal approval tho measure hud received from all tho 
most influential partly, both In and out of the diversity, he trusted 
the 1,111 would not be consigned to a select committee, which would 
lie tantamount to Its rejection or abandonment. 
Mr Had Held complained that tho measure contained no provision 
for i lie admission of Urn dissenters to the Hniveri|tlM. 
I ovd .lolm Russell dlil not think, if tlioio was any llllbomlllj on the 
of tho Chnreh or the State, that It should be met by a manlfesta- 
on of It a, the pav t of tho Protestant dissenters. The ntro- 
ductlon ofsuch a provision ns the admission of the dissenter. In the

lord and his friends to redeem the promises they had so frequently 
made to the dissenters of this country, and place them on an equality 
wiiti other citizens of the empire. . 
The House then divided, and tho amendment was negatived by a 
mi Mr! Henley then proposed that the bill should he postponed for a 
"'After some discnsslon tho House divided upon the Quertkm that tho 
Speak ' i do leave the chair, when there appeared foi tho motion 160, 
"‘The' ' II ouw then went Into committee, and another discussion on- 
sued us to the propriety of reporting progress. Lord John Rnwcll 
ultimately consented to the postponement of the committee till Mon-

to u- i, ren ir« il on the moment, to contradict such statements, with 
once lo some ol which they had no information. Ho had no reason 
to think that our officers bod neglected their dut es. 
Mr Unbdon made some rather severe comments upon the views and 
policy of both the British and the Turkish Governments In relation to 
"SrrSll said, tho Government hoped shortly to lay before 
Parliament papers R elating to this subject, and explanatory of our 
p, event relations with the Court of Athens, which had been most active 
in fomenting tho insurrection Tho unjusllfliible aggression ,on the 
part of Russia found scarcely an apologist anywhere, except, perhaps, 
with (ho lion, member for the West Riding of Yorkshire. 
Mr. Bright defended Mr. Cobdoh. , „ _ ... . 
\n Inquiry made by Mr. Gibson, relative lo tho case of the British
