(Hear, hear.) That burst of indignation was remised with just applause, and he (the noble lord) felt quite Si strongly, although he was not capable of express. ieg himself with the same force.

Seldom had his noble friend in his best days delivered a statement with such force and with such complete command of the 'minutest circumstances of the ease, although he had been unassisted, as their lordships would have observed, by a reference to a single note. Seldom had the cause of humanity—he would not add of justice, lest he should seem to prejudge the case —but seldom had the cause of humanity and of national honesty been placed before them with more eloquence, and with arguments more forcible, or in a meaner more calculated to win their admiration.

EDUCATION IN THE DIPLOMATIC SERVICE. In answer to a question put by Mr. EWAII7r, Lord STANLEY said that no returns could be made on this subject, inasmuch as no tangible scheme had yet been struck out. The question was under the consideration of the government, and the government was In constant com munication with the diplomatic agents abroad upon the subject. THE FROME VICARAGE COMMITTEE. ____.__ ...... Mr. HORSMAN was now prepared to give an answer to the question put to him on the previous evening by Mr. Gladstone. The right hon. gentleman gave notice that when the committee on the Proms Vicarage case was ap pointed he would move that he (Mr. Horsman) should lay certain allegations on the table in reference to the statement be intended to establish before that committee; and the right hen. gentleman had observed that this course would be perfectly accordant with precedent. At the moment he (Mr. Horsmsn) had not been prepared to say yes or no whether he would adopt that suggestion ; but he bad now no hesitation in saying that if the right hon. gentleman could show that such a course would really be in order be (Mr. Herman) would offer no objections- He begged sow to ask Mr. Disraeli whether the government would allow the nomination of the committee to be taken that evening before the whole of the orders of the day were lispoeed of. II the matter were to he postponed until a late lout in the evening, the result would be very unaatis faetwy ; and, obviously, at that period of the session it was desirable that the committee should be appointed with as little delay as possible. Mr. DISRAELI would he glad to forward the views of the boo. geutleman, since the house had decided on having the committee, if either the hon. gentleman or any other I kos. member would communicate with him in the course of I the evening, and show hint any prospect of such a com mittee being named as would not provoke any lengthened disease/ea. At present, seeing no such prospect, he mast decline to take the responsibility of interrupting the more important business on the paper. The house then proceeded to the orders of the day. IMPROVEMENT IN THE JURISDICTIO N IN EQUITY BILL. The house went iniocOMenitte;con this bill. The 12th clause, enacting that before the name of any person shall be used in any suit as next friend of any infant (unless father, mother, brother, sister, or testimentary guardian), such person shell obt ain leave from the court in a summary way, was struck out, at the suggestion of the Master of the Bolls, who objected likewise to the 69th clause, which enacts that in any proceeding at law for reco very of real or personal property, if the defendant insists that the plaintiff cannot recover by reason of his estate being only equitable, the court may direct a case to be sent for the opinion of the Court of Chancery. Sir F. KELLY agreed that this clause was hardly within the scope of the bill, and it was st•uck out. The MASTER of the ROLLS moved the insertion of a new clause, to the effect that no suit shall be epen to ob. jection, on the ground that a merely declaratory decree or order is sought thereby, and that the court may make binding declarations of right without granting conse quential relief. The clause was agreed to, and added to the bill. The MASTER of the ROLLS moved another clause, to the effect that a Court of Chancery shall not send cases to the court of common law, but shall have power to determine any questions of law. Mr. WALPOLE thought this a most valuable clause, which was likewise added to the bill. The bill thus amended was reported. The CHAIRMAN reported that tho bill bad passed through committee. MASTERY IN CHANCERY ABOLITION BILL. The house then went into committee on this bill. In clause 3, releasing four masters from their duties, ea the motion of the Mores of the Roma the mambos " two" was substituted for " four." The initelciause•went agreed to, with certain amend ment., and some new glasses were added to the bill. Mr. WALPOLE, before the bill was reported, felt it due to state, and he was requested to state also on the part of the Lord Chancellor, the great credit he felt was due for those two great measures to the Chancery Reform Commis sioners, and to the great learning, research, and ability they had shown la their report ; and he believed he was right in saying that than measures were calculated to do more good in reforming the administration of Chancery law than any measures that had ever passed on the subject. a •b i e se. ar, .) He might also be permitted to add that ho ht the Lad Chancellor was entitled to the thanks of that of of the poodlssain, and the country, for the great pains and attention be bad displayed in carrying oat the recommendadese et the esounissioners.

Graham) had had the honour to be a member. (Cheers.) The Metropolitan Sewers Bill was read a second time, to be committed on Thanday at 12 o'clock.

Sem 7 , 4OIIWW—MUNIIIB, 110. De. Altcramo, 111 33u. LONDON, 6A2'URDAY, JUNE 12. THE proceedings at the anniversary meeting of the National Society are, for a while at least, a heavy blow and great discouragement to the cause of liberal and rational tducation, so far as the church of England is concerned. They have, however, had the good effect of roaming the opposition party iu the Society to a senseof their own position and danger. For those proceedings were immediately followed by a very large assembly of the liberal clergy and laity who had attended the meeting, at which, on the motion of the Rev. MONTAGU VILLIERS, a committee was appointed to decide whether they should perse vere in their efforts to reform the society, or should secede from it and form new and better association fur the promotion of church education—soliciting from the crown a Charter and a share in the proceeds of the tiicnrial Royal Letter. Yester day a deputation from the body waited on the Primate to express the deep and general dissatisfac tion existing as to the present management of the National Society; and last night the subject was mooted in the House of Peers by Lord LANSDOWNE. Good, therefore, may be expected from the temporary triumph of those deep-dyed tractarians, Mr. KEBLE and Archdeacon DENISON. Either the society must be reformed, or a secession of its real strength is inevitable. The complaint against the society is, that whilst in name National, it is in management thoroughly sectarian. And if proof were wanting of the truth and justice of this complaint, there is abundance of it in Thursday's proceedings. Though no fewer than 2,800 persons of standing in society bad memorialised the committee—with a view to all parties in the church being fairly represented in that body—the memorial was rudely repulsed, the memorialists were severely censured, and not the least improvement has been made in the committee. Far different, however, was the treatment that tractarian notices of motions received from the governing body. These were accepted with every expression of satisfaction and courtesy, and—by the committee's concessions, and by the influence brought to bear on a tory government—discussions on these motions were avoided, whilst their offensive spirit was sub stantially adopted by the committee. And thus the society, without being at all consulted, is plunged deeper and deeper in the course from which so large a portion of the subscribers decidedly dissent. One of these new resolutions aimed at the enforce ment of the Church Catechism on dissenting children at tending the schools. Now, though the National Society is a Church institution, and its schools are intended to form part of our parochial system, the Royal Charter, by which it is incorporated, did not restrict its operations ere/wird!, to Church education. The or igi n al terms of connexion with it state that the Society has been instituted principally for the purpose of educating the children of the poor in the doctrines and discipline of the established church." In all its schools the Church Catechism and Liturgy have, of course, to be used principally, but not—the language we have quoted proves—exclusively. And gradually, as education has become more and more valued, a large portion of the clergy have availed themselves of this liberality. They receive dissenting children into their schools ; and, where their parents object, they do not insist on their using the Church Cate chism. They are quite, and wisely, content with having them in a church atmosphere; and therein doing them all the good they can. This liberal practice of a large portion of the paro chial clergy the tractarians object to; and accordingly some time ago the leaders of that party addressed their reclamation on it to the committee. That body, however, then declined to interfere; whereupon Archdeacon DENISON gave notice of motion for the anniversary meeting to censure it. Tho motion would, in all probability, have produced a very serious discussion ; and the committee became alarmed at that prospect. Mr. KEBLE came to their assistance. On Monday last he memorialised the committee in strong condemnation of the practice, and urged it to institute inquiries into the extent to which it prevailed in National Schools, with a view, of course, to its repression. On Tuesday the com mittee acceded to that request, and referred the inquiry to the bishops. So that by this complicity between the tractarians out of the committee and the tractarians in that body, the practice was substan tially censured ; inquiry was directed; discussion at the anniversary was averted ; the society was pledged ; and, on Thursday, Archdeacon DENISON was able to withdraw his motion with flying colours. The resolution for inquiry did not, however, pass the committee without resistance. Against it the Arch bishop of CANTERBURY protested, declaring that he never would influence the clergy of his diocese to exclude dissenting children from their 8420018 by forcing the Church Catechism on them ; and though it was ultimately . carried, five hands were held up against it, eves in the committee as now constituted. The other resolution of which Archdeacon DENI SON had given notice, was one adverse to the Ma nagement Clauses for the trust deeds of church schools receiving state aid, u prepared by the late govern ment. And this resolution the archdeacon also with drew; the tory government having, it seems (to the amazement of every one), consented to modify those clauses. Oa this subject s the conduct of the DEBBY admi nistration is characteristically audacious. It was only a week ago that amongst the civil esti mates the. House of Commons passed a vote of 160,0001. for educational pnrpaaea in Great Britain. Now, some years ago, an in tending was made that on this vote the government should state gene rally to the house the position and progress of the education question. No such statement was this year made • and the house, believing that nothing new had wearied or was intended, made the grunt in silence. Whereas it now turns out that all the while mi nisters had large modifications in hand of thine very Management Clauses on which, for year after year, the Howse of Commons has been making these grants. And thus, having at the tail end of a session obtained the money, they are now going to alter the principles on which parliament has hitherto sanctioned its ex penditure. A more scandalous trick was never played off on any assembly of gentlemen than this. " Well done, Lord DISILBY r exclaimed a voice as Mr. DENISON told the National Society of this triumph of tractarianism in the councils of the crown. " I ain," he added, " aware of their nature and extent." No doubt of it. That which Mr. WAL roLE on Wednesday refused to tell the House of Commons was well known previously to this high church confessor of the DEBBY cabinet. Now, so secret bad this resolution of ministers to modify the Management Clauses been kept by Lord DEBBY and his colleagues that the very officers of the Committee of the Privy Council, whom their prede cessors used to consult, were in profound ignorance of what was going on. Not so Mr. O.A. DENISON. He knew all about it. Before the " wording" of the new clauses was settled, if it be yet settled, ho boasted to the National Society that he was " aware of their nature and extent." Here, then, we have evidence of tractarian complicity with the DZRBY cabinet; proof of the influence that has produced these modifi cations of the Management Clauses. No wonder that Mr. Demson, all powerful in the Committee of Privy Council, was content to withdraw this resolu tion also from the consideration of the National Society. But will the House of Commons, thus bubbled out of 160,0001., also say, " Well done, Lord DEBBY " Will the house suffer itself to be thus trifled with by • government in a minority to serve its shabby electioneering ends with the high church party? Short as the remainder of tho session may be, these arc questions the Cabinet should yet be called to eccount for. In passing resolutions to exclude dis senting children from national schools, and in procuring important modifications in the Manage ment Clauses, tractarianism has then had a triumph which will recoil not only on the National Society but on the DERBY cabinet. YFATERDAT a deputation of agriculturists waited Upon Lord DERBY to learn what - help ho could give them towards throwing open the trado in guano ; and we regret to find the protectionist Ynrwr:rt sa y. ing he can afford his agricultural friend s on aid. Ile was obliged to confess a mortifying hiability, either to induce the P e ruvi an government to rela x the monopoly they have established in the article, or to oppose them on the ground of propri i t ors hi p to the Lobos Islands. Although th ose i s l an d s had until lately been considered waste and valueless —the nitre derelicts of the ocean—the Peruvian title of wallet-- ship he thought ineontestible. Proximity, name, the opinion of experienced lawyers—and, el an° all, possession—were in favour of Peru. Eng land had no sound claims to enforce; and as for influence, his lordship told a melancholy tale of baffled efforts already employed in the vain hope of softening the hard heart of privileged monopelists. The subject of discussion was one of mere real im. portance to the agriculturists of England than any one of the protectionists issues raised by Lord DERBY or the SOLICITOR-GENERAL hinistir. What can it matter whether the British isles produce a few thousand quarters less of a given grunt, in con sequence of the millions imported, when the query is set face to face with another, touching the acquisition of two million tuns of a substance, every hue dredweight of which, am Mr. 11CDSON tells La is equivalent to two bushels of corn? Well might the agriculturist of Castle Acre feel persuaded that, if they could only get Peruvian guano at til. per ton, it would be better for the farmers than the reimposi. tion of any probable duty on foreign corn. Lame rated in simple figures, the importance of the pris e assumes a very striking magnitude. Visitants to the island of Lobos Afuera have estimated the quantity of guano deposited there, on a very moderate wale, at two million tons. This is the contents of the mine, with more to come if thriftily worked. Taking Mr. Memos's valuation of its fertilising qualities, the produce, when transmuted into COTa by the myna terious chemistry of nature, would be worth more than ten millions sterling. What can the PRlallEkt's " compromise," or Mr. DISRAELI'S "compensation," offer to the suffering farmer that would bear cumpa. risen with this rich booty? Unsatisfactory as may be the result of the ministe rial conclusion, yesterday announced, its effects upon the general interests of commerce, cannot b e worse than those to be apprehended from the pre existing state of uncertainty. With an object so lucrative in view, and with ostensible ground fur believite , or assuming that the ownership of the guano island was an open question—a rapid affluence of British trading vessels was certain to be attracted thitner, with the determinati , :n among captains and crews of helping themselves, without stint or tribute paying, to what ever cargos of the coveted deposit they could carry away. lhese acts of appropriation yould of course be resisted by the custodians entrusted with the main tenance of the Peruvian monopoly. The admiral on the station has felt it to be only within his compe tence to instruct one of Ilia capta ns to inquire in passing " What was doing on the island," an d cannot be expected to interfere to any useful extent. Frequent collisions between the British traders and the dottaniers of l'etu are almost inevitable, and outrages may in all probability be perpetrated for which even Lord NIALMESBURY may Lc unable to obtain a plaster sufficient to cure or cover the wound inflicted "upon the honour of the country." It is no vain apprehension that inspire% us with some fear, that little short of an actual war lies %011ie the hazard of every day's uncertainty upon this ap parently trivial question. At last we have the point finally, though adversely, settled. But why was the conclusion suffered to remain so long in doubt? Many weeks have elapsed since the question was first mooted in this country. An administration with any character to lose, or any strength to ware from the daily exigencies of self-preservation, would hare put an end to this international question long ago. But the demands of the country upon a weak govern ment are met like those of a creditor upon an in. solvent debtor, with shuiflings and delays that only exasperate the evil. So the British nation has still to run the chances which may evolve a emus Lai any day at the Lobos Island. The accident of a name has added some extra con fusion to the entanglements that were inevitable, when different nations came to dispute for a posses ' /lion which had been allowed for centuries to remain unclaimed, because no one thought it worth claiming. Lobos, or " Wolf" Island was a name frequently given by the early Spanish navigators to newly dis covered sea-specks on whose desolate beaches the sea-wolf, as they called the seal, was observed in conspicuous numbers. ALCEDO, the Spanish geographer, enumerates no less than nine islands all bearing this designation. A tenth was described by Captain BENNETT, who commanded a whaler in the South Seas, and spoke of the island almost in the style of its first dis coverer in a paper read before the Geographical So ciety in 1837. The island now under debate is, however, one of two, lying between the tith and 7th degrees of south latitude, and called respectively Lobos de Tierra, or Sotovento, or Inner or Leeward, and Lobos Afuera, or Barlovento, signifying Outer or Windward. The position of these islets seems to have been first laid down with any accuracy in the excellent charts prepared by Captain Fermis as the result of his surveying expedition in command of her NIAJESTI'S ships Endeavour and Beagle. The gallant captain, however, never landed on either of them • and the islands were, in fact, left until very recently, as aria and useless wastes, to the undis turbed possession of the sea birds, who have, in course of ages, rendered one of them an object worth serious contention. The Foreign Secretary was not called upon to open the juggling chapter of national title in order to bnag this question to a satisfactory conclusion. All that was required of him was to demand from the Peru vian government a just and liberal interpretation of the treaty of 1837. In that treaty—granted in the most friendly spirit by England, at a time when the support of a powerful ally was all import ant to the young republics of Peru and Bolivia--eadt nation bound itself to place the trade and traders of the other upon the "most favoured" tooting, and allow of free exparts and imports under the most convenient arrangements and at the lowest scale of duties reciprocally. At that moment the advantages were all on the side of Peru. Nevertheless, England has faithfully fulfilled her share of the treaty and afforded to Peru, besides an amount of assistance in hard money and other " value received," without which it would not be going too far to say that the independent existence of the republic could hardly have been maintained. When lately the Peruvian government found that their territories were almost the sole producers of a commodity for which the English were the only and most eager customers, it was apiece of sharp practice barely within the strict legal rights recognised by the treaty of '37, to de clare every deposit of guano national property, and refuse to allow its export except under payment of a " royalty" such as was never exacted by the most monopolising sovereigns of old Spain for pennissioa to:tranship the precious metals. This exorbitant royalty has hitherto been allowed to be paid to Peru rather on sufferance than as a right. The point was conceded to their poverty and weakness, and allowed to pass unchallenged by the British government, because if taken up seriously, the controversy might have compromised the very existence of the tottering and insolvent republic, which, besides its character of ally, pos sesses another strong title to our affections in the light of a considerable debtor. The discovery of the vast deposits of guano on the Lobos Island afforded an opportunity by which this ques tion, so prominently interesting to the British agO culturist, might have been settled, between the doubts as to title and the treaty of 1837, upon Lord DERBY'S own principle of a " compromise." Thu opportunity, notwithstanding the unfavourable opinion yesterday given by the Premier, seems to be still open. The question is, whether the MUTE ministry will have wit or tact enough to avail themselves of it. If they call, it mill be the first practical step they have taken towards proving the lustneas of their self-asserted title of the farmem friends." If not, guano can but share the fate of the many other "compensating" and promised boons for which the native agriculturist is required to pay sit enormone price for the sake of obtaining a preca rious, and sometimes fraudulently adulterated, supply EDINBURGH BOOKSELLERs' AissurIATION. _A meeting of this association, which embraced within its mcmbenhip all the booksellers in Edinburgh, except sass ono or two, was held on Monday . evening ; when, follow ing the example of the trade to London, it was unard• mously agreed to dissolve the association; so that here after there will be free trade in books in this city. 02, the principal rules of the association was to allow in no case a reduction of more they 10 per cent, on the *diet' Used price of books.—Scotsnson. resig the 1' pflplt ditllC aam $ lac remi they ',he] was mon dun The hone and whol ceec lac ever Ava tor a foi took situf ex-r havi I n IT place 80,4, oour from boar
