The Express. — London, England, 1851-05-24 00:00:00

THE EXPRESS. SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 24, 1851. was a declaration of what the law had been for hundreds of years past. It was declared in this particular bill. lie had not said that the clause applied as an enacting clause to Ireland, but he said this—the law already extended to Ireland. It had extended to it for two hundred years and more. The legislature were not now altering or varying the law, but they were simply declaring it ; and, if they declanal it as to one l'ops's hull, that declaration was valid as to one thousand Pope's hulls in both countries. They were not declaring any last which exis ed prior to Poyning's Act. There was no discrepancy between what he had said and what had fallen from the hon. member for Midhurst. The latter asserted that the law was to-day what it had been in the month of September, 1650. He (the Solicitor-General) said so too—that the proceedings on the part of the Pope were illegal then, and that this act declared them to be so. (Hear, hear.) The Earl of ARUNDEL and SURREY said the com mittee were informed that this was a declaratory dame,' bet they should remember that other high legal authorities bed given it ns their opinion that it was both a declaratory mid an enacting clause. If it passed in its present shape, Ramean catholic members had better take up their hats and walls out of the house—e` Hear, hear," and laughter)— leaving the government to extricate themselves from a po /Atka which he believed they would find to be one of ince trieable embarrassment, requiring sooner or later that the bill should be amended or repealed. Dir. MOORE said the Solicitor-General had accused the Irish members of speaking obscurely on what was manifestly an obsure subject. (Ilear.) It was quite clear now, boa - ever, that the hon. member for Midhurst had suggested the present clause in one sense, and that the government had adopted it in another. The hon. member for Midhurst had suggested it in a restricted and comparatively mild sense, and the government had adopt d it in a mischie vous sense. (Hear, hear.) He thought it desira ble that the hon. member nod the govern ment should consult to ge th e r aga i n , w i the I view of seeing whether they could not emus forward on some future occasion, and jointly explain to the committee what was the real meaning of the clause. Mr. M'CI:LLAGII said the hon. member for Midhurst' had suggested the elan e in one sense, and that the Sulici- ' tor-General had suggested it in another. Now, he would not follow the Solicitor-General in the gloomy wit—(loud laughter)—in which he had indulged ; but he would tell hint this—that as he had not been in the house durinpithe last seven hours, during which others had had the misfortune to I be present, he (Mr. M'Cullagh) was at a bus now to under stand the hon. and learned gentleman's meaning. The committee hail heard such different constructions put upon the Clause that he despaired of ascertaining whether te Roman catholic bishop in Ireland might or might nut be prosecuted by any common informer if the clause passed in its present shape. Ile asked whether the Attorney-General for Ireland—(loud laughter)—he did not ask that lion. and learned gentleman in any spirit of jesting or of disrespect, but in perfect seriousness—he asked him whether if this clause should pass, he, the responsible adviser of the crown in Ireland, agreed with the hon. member for Mid hurst that it would not affect Ireland, or did he agree with I the Solicitor-General for England that, without venturing to name Ireland, the house was passing a bill of pains and penalties which would subject every Irish Roman catholic bishop to the indignity of being sued by every scoundrel who chose to institute proceeding, against him ? (Hear bear.) Mr. KEOOII said the question was so fair and reasonable ' that it must La answered before the debate proceeded any further. The hon. member for Midhurst had not bean playing the game of fast and loose ; on the contrary, he had adhered to his original statement. Ile said the clause did not apply to Ireland; the Solicitor-General, on the other hand, said that so far as it was a declaration of the law, it was as applicable to Ireland as it was to England. If the Solicitor-General wus correct, it was a declaratory law for both countries. lie (the Solicitor-Geueral) I seemed to perceive chaotic confusion in the minds l of others. How applicable, however, were the lines of the poet to himself— "o, wadi the powers ths Rade ;tie se, To we miners as other. we us." (Loud laughter.) That hon. and learned gentleman was not the law. officer of a government which had done any. thing candid or honourable, but he was the law-officer of a ricketty administration that had been living from hand to mouth for the last four months, and that was indebted to others fur suggestions with reference to the present bill. It was nut for the law-officer of such au administration to indulge in gloomy wit. The ATTOILNEY-GENERAL said he certainly should not think it right to bandy recrimination and vituperation with the hon. member for Athlone. The same question which was asked now had been asked over and over again The Attorney-General for Ireland was not now in the house to answer it. (Ironical laughter from the Irish members.) lie (the Irish Attorney-General) had been in his place the whole of the evening, and he had not left with any view of evading the question. It was hardly fair to keep asking the law officers of the crown to return answers to legal questions, and, when the answers we're returned, to treat them in a somewhat unhandsome manner. (Hear, hear.) The law officers were tired of answering the same question, and the blame rested upon those ado put it so frequently. The hon. member for Midhurst and the Solicitor-General were not in contradiction to each other. The former had directed his claw, against the rescript in virtue of which ecclesiastical titles bad been assumed in England ; and, while it did nut apply directly and home- : diately to Ireland, it only applied to Ireland in this namely, that this being all act of the imperial legislature applying to the whole empire, it applied to Ireland as a, II las England. The act was declaratory, and applicable to both countries. Mr. J. O'CONNELL said the explanation was, that the act did and that it did nut apply to Ireland. Atter a few words from Mr. Mousse, The committee divided— Fur the amendment 57 Against MID-DAY SITTINGS. On returning to the gallery we found Sir D. /LILL addressing the house. The state of public business, owing to the protracted nature of these debates, was most backward. (Heer, hear.) In the last session of parliament many bills were brought forward, and not pro- I reeled with; and therefore he (Sir IL Hall) telt that the I country should not be left in a similar condition tat present as regarded public business. (Ilear, hear.) Pre suming, therefore, that the noble lord the First Minister of the crown would proceed with this bill on Monday next, he (Sir IL Hall) begged to suggest that the house should sit every day at 12 o'clock, in order that they might go on with the general business of the country; and also that they might have some assurance from her Majesty's go,emmeut that it was their intention to press forward this question in a determined manner. (Cheers.) The hue. baronet was understood, in conclusion, to move that the chairman report progress. Mr. KEOGH said that the representatives of Ireland always looked for conciliatory remarks from the bon. baronet the member fur Mary lelxme (Sir 11. 11a11). But it must be understood, it' the proposition were agreed to to take the unusual course of deciding on morning sittings, the re presentatives of the Irish people!, and the oppo nents of the bill, would in that CAW think them selves justified in resorting to every means in their ower of staying the progress of the bill. (" H ear , hear," and laughter.) Certainly, so far they had not created any unnecessary delay to this bill. (Lau g ht er .) At any rate let those who laughed remember th e d e l a y occuaioncel by the government itself in dallying with the measure, and in delaying the adoption of the propui tious of the hon. and learned member for Midhurst until the last tomcat. Mr. M. GIBSON objected to the proposition of taking marring sittings. If that course were adopted, it would be out of the question to carry ou the important business of committees. Ile agreed in a great measure with what had been observed by the hon. and learned member fur Athloue, that much of the delay in the progress of this measure was attributable to the conduct of the government itself. The Earl of ARUNDEL and SURREY also objected to the adoption of the system of morning sittings, on the ' ground that it would be necessary in that case to give up the committees. lie denied altogether that, with the ex ception of one or two divisions, there had been display of Ifactious oppoeition. (Oh, oh Lord J. RUSSELL—IIIs inclination would be, in the Ant place, to consult the convenience of the house; but, as worded the question of morning sittings, he was not pre. wed to assent at once to the proposal of the hon. member he Marylebone, and he reserved to himself the discretion of suggesting that course if it should be found absolutely ✓etessury. Should that necessity arise he should look for the support of the house in the effort to avoid unfair delay. (timers.) lie should now assent to the proposition that Iles chairmen report progress. Mr. DISRAELI did not think that there was, as yet, any necessity to resort to so desperate a proposition as that of the boo. member for Marylebone. It was quite clear that any government introducing such a measure as this must have looked forward to a considerable degree of oppo sition ; and so far he did not think that that natural excess which might have been expected had been exceeded.

GovEaNmi.xy is very much behind the times on the (lineation question. It may not seem pressings fur the current . year; there is no fear of its leading' to a close division, or menacing a ministerial crisis ; and therefore it sinks vastly in importance before the gravity of a vote upon Lord TORRINGION'S virtues. And therefore Sir GEOlaiE GREY saw no necessity for being prepared with more than com mon-places. Wind the honourable Secretary of State said, literally amounted to nothing ; whilst the rather narrow and retrograde speech of the new SOLICITOR-GENEIM amounted to far worse than nothing. The country is progressing on this ques tion, parliament is standing still. but the whigs, if we um to judge from the ministerial speeches, are de cidedly going backwards. This, however, we have the satisfaction of know ing, cannot long remain to be the case. Not only are the demands and the netessitieslor extended , cuueution so great and so felt in large towns, that some more active and universal agent than voluntary ism must, ere lung, be brought to bear; but government itself will be impelled by the very machinery which itself has originated and set in motion. In a few years' time the C tee of Education will have raised a body of from six to seven thousand teachers, fully understanding their profession and anxious to exercise it. Even if the two-thirds of them which belong to the church of England and were reared in the national schools find schools and scholars, the remaining third must waste their' experience in the desert air, fur the very population fur whom they were destined would not employ them. The schools in which such teachers ought to be employed, (says Mr. Fletcher), do not exist, and if they did, would not be supported by merely voluntary exertions; for such of the capitalist leaders of the industry of their districts as care about the million, provide their own schools, the insufficient number and character of which are known. The middle chins will subscribe fur and work only in the Sunday schools. And the labouring claws are quite un prepared to take the matter into their own hands, and will not even send their children to the day school, until urged from without by a missionary seal in the cause of Christian education, and then in an entirely misgiving spirit; although in such times as the present, all parties could well Adroit' pecuniarily to du their duty in the work. That the existing government plan, however well working at first, has become more and more unfit tar the purpose of distributing aid towatxls education is palpable to everyone. It now gives government money to those who least want it. Whilst for the indigent masses of the population, for whom nobody cares, the government cares less, and of course suffers them to grow up in ignorance and in destitution. The government scheme has, in fact, dwindled 'in practice into a mere system of rural educa tion,—a teaching a knowledge of the Scriptures to the peasantry. This, no doubt, is a very desirable object. But there so palpably exists a sufficiency of funds, and of persons, and of edifices for the religious education of the peasantry, that parlia ment most certainly, had it foreseen the use to which the fund was likely to be turned, would not have voted even 123,000/. a year in aid of the squires and the village rectors. The very argu ment employed on Thursday night by the speakers of the country party fully admits their view and knowledge of what education ought to be and is. The peasant's child can go but for a short time of the year, and but for a very few years, to school. The little time he has is not more than enough to instil into him the elements of his religion, which he has no chance of imbibing later. Consequently, let them no longer talk of secular edu cation for the peasant. An education, that will enable him to say his prayers, but that will trouble Ihim with no increased proficiency or skill, is all that is wanting. We must confess to be quite thunderstruck at hearing the SOLICITOR-GENERAL chiming in with such retrograde nonsense as this, which the very Jesuits, whom he combats, would not condescend to. If there is ono change in the times more evident than another, it is that the agriculturist must rise in skill, and thought, and habits, more to a level with the artisan. Clodhopping will not pay. And if there be a class in the country more likely than another to derive benefit from that secular education which opens a door to the acquirement and circulation of knowledge, it is precisely the agricultural class. Condemn them to ignorance amidst the full I self-acquired information of the artisan and lower classes, and the result, we fear, will prove both phy sically and morally dangerous. But notwithstanding the present one-sidedness and insufficiency of the general plan of education, as far as the distribu tio n of funds goes, and the supply THE questions relative to the affitirs of the Cape colony, which Mr. AtmEttlJA - addressed last night to the Premier, appear to us to have deserved a more candid and straightforward answer than they re ceived. An intelligible explanation of the mysteries upon which they were intended to throw light would have been at once welcome and valuable. A plain, blunt declaration that ministers would rather throw no light on the subject at present would have been honest, and therefore creditable to the respondent. But such bush-fighting work us first to evade the 1 inquiry by reproaches for not having minutely studied the description of certain papers in the votes, and next to affect inability to understand the ques tion, evinces a want of candour, and excites suspi cions that there is something behind which is felt to require concealment. The state of affairs at the Cape, as far as it is known to the public, is nearly ns follows : Some time ago it was resolved to give that colony an elective legisla ture. The governor was authorised to nominate a council to take into consideration the droll of the new constitution, and to appoint to that council a certain number of gentlemen who should receive the greatest number of votes from the different munici palities and district boards. Sir HARRY SMITH in fringed upon the understanding between him and the colonists by nominating to the council one gentle man who had received fewer votes than some who were excluded. When the council met, Sir HARRY called upon it to vote the estimates in the same waves former councils had been accustomed to vote them. '(he elected members (with the exception of the nominee above referred to) demurred. They were appointed, they said, merely as a constituent assembly: to vote money enough to meet current and urgent require ments they had no objections; but part of the estimates embraced provision 1 for so wide a future, that it ought in their opinion to be reserved for the first elective assembly. Sir llama insisted upon having his own way, and the representative mem bers of council resigned. Nu estimates have been voted in acconlanee even with the old nominee con stitution of the colony. Sir HARRY SMITH must be raising money by 110111 c unconstitutional means. It has been rumoured that the home government is helping hint by advances front the home treasury on the credit of some contingent future revenue. *The colo nists have a right to know by what means their Gover nor is raising the wind to carry ou an unconstitu tional administration. The home public have a right to know whether advances are being made out of their revenue for the repayment of which an elective Cape legislit um may hereafter refuse to hold themselves responsible. Parliament is the natural and proper place to demand explanations on this bead. so far as England is concerned ; and it is the only place where there is any chance of extorting such explanations for the information of the cults nists, until the Cape shall receive a eon- 1 stitut ion. Mr. A mffiut.siv's question relating to the monetary transactions of Sir IlAttla SMITH was entitled to a distinct answer, or, at the . very least, to a frank eenfes,:ion that the answer was only withheld btyausc, in existing eireumelaums, ex planations would embarrass government. One reason for declining to give the required in fornmtion was insinuated, rather than expressed, by Lord Jolts RUSSELL. He hinted that the explana tions required might embarrass Sir HARM' SMITH in his Kaifrurian operations. Lord JOll5 knows right well that government do not dream of calling upon the colony to re-imburse the expenditure of the Kaffir war. That war has begun in a district outside of the colonial boun dary, and governed by an executive unconnected with and uncontrolled by the colony. It has arisen out of a system of internal policy in British /Calm ria with which the Cape Colony had nothing to do. The war is a C4 ' ,lonial-office war, and its expense (we cannot help ourselves) will full on the home public. The terms of Mr. AnniiiittA's question showed dearly that it had no reference to Sir HARRY SMITIeS military expenditure in Katfraria. Lord JonN's talk about the embarrassments of the High Commis sioner of British Kalfraria was a disingenuous at tempt to present Mr. Anomii.r.v's question in an odious light, fur which there were no just grounds. But since Lord JonN has thought tit to broach the question of the Kaffir war and its cost, it may be observed that it is high time that the nation and par liament knew something about what is going on in Kaffirland, what is likely to be the expense of the war. Sir HARM' SMITHs taken ut the outset by surprise., was at the date of the last ntlvices still held in check by the insurgent Kaffirs. Fresh troops an being sent out to him; but not more in number than the Duke of Wi.o.isurox declared at the first would be required. And as he appears to be doing nothing, two sub-commissioners arc to be sent out to help him. The locul commander-in chief and the home government appear to be equally irresolute, equally inactive. And hesitation and inaction arc in such cases the surest cause; of extineugunt expenditure. It IS to be hoped that the question which was not put last night, though Lord Jonx insinuated it was, may won be asked. MR. O'CONNOR'S LAND CoMPANY.--I P csterday tho committee upon this bill to di.solre the National Land Company, dipne of it, land. and property, and wind up the undertaking, met for the lint time, Sir H. Verner chairman, Sir I'. Egerton, Mr. Piggott, Mr. Herbert and Mr. Holland being the members. Mr. Maenantara and Mr. Walmisley appeared for the promoters of the hill, and Mr. Coates as counsel for tho alluttees or shareholders. Mr. Feargus O'Connor was pm sent during the proceedings with several "Chartist co-operatives." 31r. Macnamara opened the case. The society, he stated, was formed in 181.1 to purchase land on which to locate its members, to erect buildings and allot them to subscribers upon such terms as should enable them, by moderate industry, to live in comparative comfort and independence. The capital wss to be 130,0001., with 60,000 subscribers, and 100,000 shams of 11. Go. each. The capital was afterwards raised to 194,0001. The deed of settlement could not be completely registered, and the Court of Queen's Bench had decided that it was not established for any commercial purpose or fur any pur pose of profit, or for the purpose of assurance or insurance within the meaning of the Joint Stock Registration Act. Many shares had been taken, and subscriptions paid scud expended on the purchase of estates in the name of Feargus O'Connor. A National and Labour Bank, under the management of Mr. O'Connor had been established in New Oxford-street, in connexion with the society, but doubts under 7 and S Victoria had arisen as to the legality of the banking business. There were 80,000 depositors, and the property of the company was to be their security. Doubts had also arisen as to the legality of the society, and the Registrar of Joint Stock Companies and the committee of the House of Commons had refused to grant the company complete registration. Proceedings had been taken by the subscribers against Fcargus O'Connor to recover back their deposits. Mr. O'Connor now came before the committee to divest himself of all title to the land and all trust under the estate, sad the present bill war to dissolve the company, and refer it to the tribunal of the Masters in Chancery in order that it might be wound up. After considerable discussion, on the suggestion of Mr. Coates, the committee decided on adjourning , to give an opportunity to the parties, the promoters and the share holders, to ensue to some arrangement that might obviate• protracted or expensive inquiry. The schedule to the bill set forth the names and description of twenty-three estates in various counties throughout England, alleged to have been purchased on behalf of the company at a oast of 48,6101., and representing a total of 1,220 sane. , of that needful material of ed uca ti on t o th e di s t r i cts !

SVICIDE.—This forenoon, a painful degree of ex eitement prevailed among the occupant, of the Saracen's Head Hotel, Skinner-street, Snow-hill, in consequence of the suicide of Mr. James Bristow, a gentleman very highly connected, and surposed to be lately residing at Henley, in the county of Middlesex. The deceased gentleman had taken apartments for a few days at the hotel, and appeared 1 1 in very excellent health and spirits. Deceased went out yesterday morning, returning in the evening, and after taking some refreshment got in conversation with several gentlemen who had been to the Great Exhibition, in Ilyde park, and when ho had taken supper he retired to rest about one o'clock this morning. Nothing more was heard of him until one of the ostlers had his attention drawn to a pool of blood on the floor of a coach-house underneath deceased's bedroom. One of the fe male servants went up and found the door closed ; she raised an alarm, and when she entered the apartment the deceased was lying on the floor with his head nearly shattered to pieces.
