IRISH UNIVERSITIES BILL. Received July 27, 10.50 p.m. LONDON, July 27. In the House of Commons the Irish Universities Bill was read a third time. Mr J. Redmond warmly nraised Mr A. Birrell (Chief Secretary for Ireland)for solving a problem that foiled the late Mr Gladstone. Mr Redmond added: "We all admire the man for his courage. The Nationalists will never forget Mr Birrell's services to Ireland." Amid Nationalist cheers Mr A. J. Balfour, in a few graceful words, supported Mr Birrell, and said the main outlines of the Bill wero such h°. had always wished to see passed. It was'a great and courageous effort to deal with a cryir.g scandal, but he feared that owing to the affiliation of Maynoth with the Dublin University the latter might fall unduly under clerical control. Mr Birrell said that he hoped the new University would play a great part in educating and unifying a famous race. The Universities Bill was read a first time in the House of, Lords.
