Lord TEYNH AM presented petitions from the managers ci schools in Kent and other places against the re vised education minute THE UNTRESS IN LANCASHIRE. The 11.. I of SHA t - lIMBURY, in introducing the above subject, said be hoped, under the peculiar circumstances of the Lase, that her Majesty's government would be pre pared to hold out some hopes of a relaxation in the mode of relief io regard to the labour test in favour of • clue of people whose exemplary conduct under so severe a trial en titled them to the highest praise. Lord OVERSTONE, who was almost entirely inaudible in the gallery, was understood to concur with the noble earl in the tribute of admiration he had paid to the exemplary conduct of the Lancashire operatives during their present trial, remarking that, identified as he was with the die trice, be necessarily regarded their sufferings with addi tional interest and sympathy. Earl GRI..I47ILLE, who was likewise very indistinctly heard, wa sure it must have been satisfactory to the noble ea (Shaftesbury) to take that opportunity of doing justice to his own feelings, which were those, he was sure, of the house generally, as they were those of her Majesty's govern ment, in favour of the class in whew behalf he had pleaded. It was impossible for any one representing the government to deny that very great distress did exist in the cotton manufacturing district a, and that much individual suffering had retuned. At the same time, so far as the facts were known to the government, that distress was not quite so general as had at first been imagined. There were great numbers of persons wholly out of employment, no doubt— large numbers, also, were working half instead of whole time ; but there were others, again, in some district, who were employed at nearly full time. He thought great judgment had been shown by the manufacturers and employers of labour, as well as by the guardians of the poor of the several unions, in the mode which they had adopted of meeting the distress. With regard to the labour feet, it was to be remembered that there was Dow power in the boards of guardians to dis pense with that test for a period not exceeding three weeks at their own discretion, in cases of emergency, at the end of which time they must report to the Poor-law Beard, who, if they saw sufficient reason, might permit the dime's tinuanos of the test for a still longer period. The great object of the government in dealing with the poor-law authorities was to see that the rules and regulations of the law were conformed to, but at the same time to make them so elastic that they might at all times be made avail able for meeting cases of pressing emergency. Up to the present time he believed there was nothing in the cue, either in the number of persons thrown upon the relief fund or the amount of the rate, which should cause serious alarm, or lead to the opinion that the poor law , would be inadequate to meet the demand upon it. Except in one or two parishes the rate had not yet reached any very high amount ; and with regard to the capability of the district, he reminded their lordships that six years ago the rateable value of the property of the district was 7,000,0001., and it had since considerably increased. There was no reason to suppose, therefore, that the resources of Lanca shire would fall short of the demands which might possibly be made upon them in the present exigen cy . He found that committees were beginning to be organised to aid the local authorities in the administration of the relief, by ascertain ing the sum end claims of the distressed people, and the Poor-law Board bad sent down a mostexperienced inspector, a gentleman who had been for five or six years engaged in an adjoining district of Lancashire, and who enjoyed the confidence of the authorities, to co-operate with the guardians. That gentleman, Mr. Parnell, would endeavour to place their load committees in harmonious working with the local authorities, advise the guardians as to the best means of providing labour for those who might become the objects of relief as circumstances suggested, and to originate and put in force such other measures as were calculated to lead to the most satisfactory solution of the difficulty. The noble lord had referred to the feeling of sympathy exhibited by the manufacturers, and he (Earl Granville) admitted that it was impossible to speak too highly of their conduct, taking them as a body. No doubt • certain number of the manufacturers had shut up their mills, and thereby contri buted to the general distress ;there wee nodoubt that in other parts the manufacturers were a little ieclined in some in stances to cast a burden upon the poor-law guardians which in sonic sort belonged to them ; but there was no doubt that the majority were animated with the best feeling towards those they employed, submitting to very great sacrifices themselves in order to alleviate the suffering of their bands, and were taking that course of prudence and huma nity which was most likely to avoid those consequences which an injudicious course of conduct would produce. With regard to the operatives, it was impossible to speak too highly of them—their patience, their submission, their perfect knowledge of secondary causes that have led to the difficulty—their feelings for the sacrifices to which their . employers are exposed, their appreciation of the relatioos between the government and the people, and their under standing that goverment, not having mixed in social affairs of this kind, are not responsible when distress arising from any failure in the demand for labour takes place, and fur • their, their knowledge that the legislature was wholly in adequate to meet such an emergency. Knowledge of these facts and the conduct which that knowledge has produced reflect most creditably upon the operatives of that large district, and speak for that increased intelli genes and intellectual improvement, as well as that great improvement in their moral character to which the noble lord has so properly borne testimony. (Cheers.) It was with meat satisfaction that he was enabled on his own part, and on the part of the government, to tender their humble admiration, in common with the admire tics of the their lordships, of the conduct of there poor people, together with their deep sympathy for their sufferings. The Earl of DERBY was satisfied that the people of Lancashire were bearing this calamity with that patience, resignation, and resolution, which did them the highest credit, end on the other hand be was convinced that those who bad the means were exert ing themselves to the utmost of their power to alleviate the distress which existed and he was further speared that when those means should be greatly reduced, he would not say quite exhausted, those proprietors would not appeal iu vain for assistance to their fellow-country men, for those funds which the poor law was not the proper machinery to provide. But the last thing which the Lancashire population would desire would be to come as petitione., and beggars for subdue.) from the public funds of the country. (Hear, bear.) The subject then dropped. THE REGISTER OF VOTERS BILL Lord VEDEN, in moving the sewed rending of this bill, said it was a measure to facilitate the registration of voters for the conveoienoe of the constituencies throughout the couotty. The bill had been pared through the Com mons aol sent up by a large majority, and the members for South Luticashire and Middlesex Lad supported it. Under these circumstances he hoped their lorsbips would assent to the second reading. Earl GRANVILLE said the bill involved no great con stitutional question of any sort, and as the House of Com mons bad agreed to it by a large majority it would be most ungracious on their parts if they did not agree to the second reading. A division was called for, but before it took place the Marquis of Sauaar*T said be would not trouble their lips to divide on the present occasion. The bill was thee reed a second time. THE INUNDATIONS OF THE SHANNON AND ITS TRIBUTARIES. The Marquis of CLAILNRICA RUE then rem to move for the appointment of a select committee to inquire into the causes of the great and frequent laudations of the River Shannon and its trihntaries, end into the effects of the works constructed be the Shannon commissioners of 1839 upon the navigation and upon the drainage of the country, and how far such works were in accordance with the plans referred to in the statute under which they were undertaken. Earl iiItANARD thought, if the inquiry were granted, the Shannou might be made a really useful river to the country...._ . . . Earl GRANVILLE said her Majesty's government were of opinion that it wasnot desirable that more public money should be ,pent on the navigution of the river or in the drainage of the surrounding country. But her Majesty's government were ready, if the lords-lieutenants of counties would engage to assist, to join in an in quiry as to what measures might be taken to im prove the drainage of the river. But the in-, wry must not take place under one engineer only, who would be supposed to be under government inftuence. One engineer must be a pp ointed by the residents Foal another by the government, and that an inquiry both useful and mow mical ;lit be carried out. He trusted, under these cir cumstances, his noble friend would not persevere with his motion. Lord DERBY thought *scientific inquiry would be more satisfactory, but recommended that the engineers should be unfettered by any instruction. Ultimately the motion was weed to. The select committee on noxious vapours was nominated. Their lordships then adjourned at 2D minutes past 8. HOUSE OF 0011110N8.—MONDAY, Max 12. The Srhszat took the chair at 4 o'clock.

Lean waa given to Mr. Aoaa-Ewn to bring in • bill to amend the law relating to the duration of contested elec tions for counties in 'reload, and for establishing additional places for taking the poll thereat. DISCHARGED PRISONERS. RAW intelligence. EQUITY COURTS.—MAY 12. (Before Vico-Clrurcellor Sir W. P. Wood.) ONDON AND WISTNINSTIM DANK V. ?AMU. Mr. ADDFALEY obtained leave to introduce a bill to amend the Lw relating to the giving of aid to discharged prisoners. ITNIVESSITIES (SCOTLAND). Leave was given to the LORD ADTOCATZ to bring is bill to alter and amend the Universities (Scotland) Act, in so far en relates to the bequest of the late Dr. Alexander Murray, in the Univenity of Aberdeen. This7a747GmThy the London and Westminster Bank to have it declared that they had rightfully paid a sum placed on deposit to the indorses of the depositor. It appeared that a Mr. Williams deposited a um of 3,000/. in the bank, receiving therefor the usual deposit note. This deposit note was, shortly after Mr. Williams's death, presented to the bank for payment by his natural son, Mr. J. Williams, and the bank, seeiag that the note was endorsed by the father, paid the amount. They were not then aware of the father's death. Some years afterwards Mrs. Parker, a relative of Mr. Williams, the deceased, took out letters of ad ministration to him, and then made a claim upon the bank for the amount paid Mr. Williams, jun., on the ground that the right to it did not pass by indorsement. This wan so at law, but Williams, jun., set up that the indorse went had been made for valuable consideration, and there fore amounted to an assignment in equity. Proceedings arising out of the suit were taken at law to determine whether this indorsement was for value, and the jury found in the affirmative. A motion was now made for a new trial. Mr. Rolt, Mr. M. Chambers, and Mr. Langworthy, were for the plaintiffs ; Mr. Hawkins, Sir H. Cairns, Mr. Dauney, and Mr. Daniell were on the other side. TheV ice. Chancellor said that he had communicated with the Chief Justice of the Common Pleas who Vied this cause, and that learned judge informed him he was quite satisfied with the result of the trial. Under these circum stances the motion for a new trial must be refused, and this being cleared away, there would be a decree according to the terms of the bill. CROWN PRIVATE ESTATES (SCOTLAND). Tha LORD ADVOCATE also obtained leave to bring in a bill to remove doubts concerning, and to amend the law relating to the private estates of her Majesty, ber heirs and ELECTIONS (IRELAND .) Mr. AGAMELLIS moved or leav e bring in a bill to limit the tim i lloaroceedlng to elections in counties and boroughs in Mr. WHITESIDE said that In the absence of a reform bill the hon. member had given notice of two bills dealing with the whole system of electing members in Ireland. He thought th►t some explanation ought to be given of the meuures. . . Mr. AGAR-ELLS said that the object of the bills was to assimilate the law at Ireland to that of England by limiting the elections to one day, and by limiting the time between receiving the writ and the election. After a short discussion, Mr. OOLLINS expressed a hope that the bill would be allowed to be brought in. The motion was agreed to, and the bill ordered to be brought in. The Universities of Scotland and some other bile were laid on the table, and the house adjourned at half-past 11 o'clock. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. -Day 12. Sittinp is Banco.—(Before Lord Chief Justin Cockburn and Justices Crompton, Blackburn, and Mellor.) PTM V. TUS OSSAT NOSTECILS ILULWAT COMPASS. In this ode a rule bad been obtained by the defendants calling upon the plaintiff to show cause why the verdict, which had been found in her favour with L 3,000/. damages, should not be set aside and entered for the defendants, upon the ground that there was no cause of action, the plaintiff having sustained no " pecuniary " damage within the meaning of the statute the 9 and 10 Vic, chap. 93, on which the action profound to be founded, sad that the damages were excessive. The plaintiff was the widow and administratrix of Mr. Francis Elm, who was killed by an accident which took place on the Great Northern Railway on the Zird of April, 1860. The action was brought under Lord Campbell's act to recover compensation in damages for the " pecuniary" loss which the plaintiff and her children had sustained by the death of Mr. Pym, which was attributed to the negligence of the company, and the de ficiency of one of the rails on the line of railway, which was at the time under repair. The deceased was a perenger by the express train to Man chester, and when the train arrived at the Hatfield station it ran off the line, owing, as the plaintiff alleged, to a defici ency in one of the vale, whereby the deceased sustained an injury which caused his death in a few hours after. The plaintiff was thus left a widow with nine children, the eldest son being rather benefitted than otherwise in a pecuniary point of view by his father's death. Mr. Pym was a gentle man who pursued freehold property of about 4,0001. per annum. By his mamage settlement his widow was entitled to a jointure of 1,0001. a year, and a sum of 90,0001. had been invested at 4 per cent. for the benefit of the children, eight of whom had thus an income of 100/. a veer each. The eldest son was 10 years of age, and inherited the bulk of his father's property. The eldest daughter was 11 years of age, and the other children were respectively of the ages of nine, seven and a half, six, five, three, and two years, youngest being only two months old at the death of the father. Mr. Bovill, Q.C., Mr. Lush, Q.C., and Mr. Garth showed cause spinal the rule ; Mr. Hawkins, Q„O., Mr. Phipeon, Q.C., and Mr. Hull supported the rule. The Court took time to oonsider. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.—MA y 12. Sittings in Banco.—(Before Lard Chief Justice Erie and Justices Willes, Dyke, and Beating.) SHAIIIST V. THE SOUTH lAMBS HALLWAY COHrAIR— CAIWOE ?SWIG! FROM BOULOONS. The plaintiff in this case was resident at Boulogne, acid the coulee of his business was to collect small parcels there, pack a number of them into one parcel, and then send them to his agent in London, who distributed them to the per sons for whom they were intended. The company made an order that such " packed" parcel' should be charged at a double rate ; and the plaintiff having sent some parcels, and been charged at this rate, sued to recover what he eon- tended were overcharges. Hu case was that there was no more risk or trouble in carrying a packed parcel than there was in carrying any other parcel; and that, therefore, the order of the company to charge double for them was void according to the decision in our court& This question was DOW retied by means of a rule to enter a nonsuit. The Lord Chief Justice, in giving judgment, said that the defendants were a railway company, and also a steam-packet company, and the money had been paid by the plainti ff under the act constituting the defendanta • packet company. As a general rule the lea loci contractus penned the case, and according to the law of France it was not illegal to charge higher for packed parcels. Upon this point the court was unanimously in favour of the defendants, but his own opinion WWI that, even if the railway legislation of England was ap plied to this contract, the defendant' would still be entitled to judgment. Rule absolute. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—MAY 12. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) ut RS MAIM:eI.—DISPUTED ADJUDICATION. The trader in this cue, a timber merchant at Nine-elms, had entered into a deed of arrangement with hie creditors on the 18th February hut. Mr. C. E. Lewis, on behalf of certain creditors, now sub mitted that the deed was informal, through not complying with the seven requisite* of the statute, and that it was consequently an act of bankruptcy. Mr. Hoffman argued in favour of the validity of the deed. He contended that the duty of the court in reference to those documents was merely ministerial. His Honour said it could not be contended for a moment that this deed was within the provisions of the act. The sums were left blank ; the amount of debts was not even stated; and, what was more important. possession of the property was not to be given to the trustees for a twelve month, provided payment was made by the trader of a cer tain sum—also left blank. The deed wee clearly not within the provisions of the statute ; it was therefore an act of bankrapt..7, and the adjudication must be confirmed. PUBLIC BUSINESS. Sir G. BOW VER presented a petition from 1,680 of the employ , ' of the General Post-o&e, complaining of the in sufficiency of the concessions of June, 1861, and praying for inquiry into, and an adjustment of their grievances by a select committee. Upon the motion of the boa. baronet, this petition was read by the clerk at the table. NOTICE OF MOTION. Mr. DICEY SEYMOUR gave notice that on Thursday next be would osk the Home Secretary whether his atten tion had been called to a statement in the public papers of the ease a boy named Thomas, at Maidstone, who appeued to have been convicted by a bench of magistrates, and tined 61. lls, for being found in possession of a snare for catching rabbits! UNIVERSITY OF ABERDEEN. Colonel SYKES asked the Lord Advocate on what pounds., and at whose suggestion the class fees had been in creased, and many bursaries abolished in the University of Aberdeen, without previous communication with the autho rities of the university The LORD ADVOCATE said that the revision of the class fees at Aberdeen bad proceeded to a great extent on the recommendation of the University Commissioners of 1826, after the fullest inquiry, and with complete informa tion as regarded the bursaries said to be abolished; the commissioners were following out the recommendations of the commissioners of 1826 and 1835. CAB TRAFFIC THROUGH HYDE-PARK. Mr. ALCOCK asked the First Commissioner of Works whether he saw any objection to allow hackney cabs to pass through a portion of Hyde-park in order to avoid Park-lane, which was now rendered almost impassable at times, owing to the traffic to the Exhibition. Mr. COWPER replied that he believed Park-lane was too narrow for the traffic which frequented it, but !he thought the proper remedy was that Park-lane should be widened or that Hamilton-place should be prolonged. He was afraid that if the traffic were transferred to Hyde-park the incon venience would also be transferred, and new obstructions arise in • place at present free from them. At present, therefore. he was not prepared to give his sanction to the proposal of the hon. gentleman. SOLDIERS' INSTITUE AT PORTSMOUTH. _ _ - Mr. W. EWART asked the Secretary of State for War tf a soldiers' institute would be formed at Portsmouth, in conformity with the report of Captain Pilkington Jackson. Sir G. C. LEW IS said that he would be prepared to ask the sanction of the house for appropriating a portion of the grant for soldiers' institutes to the formation of a soldiers' =taut. at Portsmouth, MURDER DT TIPPERARY. Mr. SCULLY asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland if he bad any official information to the effect that the recent murder in the county of Tipperary was committed about three p.m., at • most open spot on the public highroad, within two and • half mile• of the police station at New Inn and three and • half mike of those at Cashel and Golden respectively, and th►t Decommission was not known to the police at New Inn until 7 p.m., at Cashel until 8 p.m., or at Golden until the following morning. Sir R. PEEL replied that be could only repeat what he had stated the other evening. He was not aware of the enact distance of the scene of Mr. Thisbault'e murder from the police barracks named by the hon. member, but no doubt Iris information was correct. As regarded the commission of the offence, the whole of the parties suspected of being implicated in the murder were arrested on the night suc ceeding the outrage. Colonel DICKSON said that the right hon. baronet had not given any answer to the question, which had reference to • subject of veg great importance. The question of the hon. member for Tipperary was not directed as to whether any person had been arrested on suspicion of the murder. What they wished to know was, whether it was a fact that a heinous murder bad been committed at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and although the police barrack was within three miles and • half of the place where the outrage was com mitted, no information was received at the barrack until fully four hours after the murder had taken place. THE EMBASSY CHAPEL AT PARIS. Lord R. MONTAGU asked the Secretary to the Treeaury the following questions reepecting the account for civil con tingencies : Whether the item " for votes proposed to be taken for new services" referred to moos 'spent for objects for which the sanction of parliament had not already been obtained. And, whether the "net loss on the sale of a chapel in Paris" of 2,0001., was the differencelbetween.the purchase-money which had been paid without the sanction of parliament, and the sum obtained by sale when that vote bad been disallowed ; and if so, whether the sum of 2,00 W. thus disallowed should be charged oo the fund for civil con tingencies. Mr. F. PEEL replied that the money was advanced by the Treasury, and its application was afterwards sanctioned by the home. The money for the chapel at Paris was paid out of the funds for civil aoutingenciee, and when the vote was re fused, it became necedwary to sell the chapel. SALE OF ENCUMBERED ESTATES. Lord R. MONTAGU wished to ask the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether, in the return No. 202, recently laid upon the table of the house, the " total amount of purchase mosey, 5,940,989/.," comprised the value of the estates which were sold in the Encumbered Estates Court ; or whether this item referred merely to tie amount of the pur chase money of estates already brought into the new Landed Estates Court. - - Sir R. PEEL replied that the produce of the sales since the establishment of the court was upwards of 26 millions, including the 5.940,9891., which reprmented sales under the new Landed Estates Court. ALLEGED DEFEAT OF TURKISH TROOPS. Mr. FREELAND asked whether any information had been received by the government with reference to • defeat of Hussein Pasha in the Herzegovina, announced tby tele gram from Ragusa by way of Vienna, and with reference to other reverses which the Turkish ,troops are said to have sustained? Mr. LAYARD thought the hon. member would have done well not to have paid so much attention to telegrams from Ragusa by way of Vienna. The information received by the government led them to believe that so far from the Turkish troops having been defeated they had been perfectly suconsful in their object. No doubt there had been some mall reverses, and the Turkish irregular troops had in eome instances been seized by the Montenegrins. The Turkish government were acting with greet self•restraint and moderation notwithstanding the provocation which they bad received. As regarded the telegram in question he could not say who was responsible for its jobbing , or whether it was intended to promote stock jobbing purposes or not. CAPTAIN COLES'S SHIELD. Admiral WALCOTT asked the Secretary to the Admi ralty whether the cupola fitting on board the Trusty float ing battery had not been altered from the condition in which it was used in the practice firing when it sustained the shots of 110 pound and 68 pound guns, as it was now pro ! posed to submit it to the fire of a 150 pound gun ; and whe ther Captain Coles, of the Royal Navy, the inventor, had been consulted upon the propriety of using such a severe test in the present state of the cupola, because, if not con sulted, he considered that Captain Coles's interest in the patent might be serio usly prejudiced Lord C. PAGET that the Admiralty had been in communication with Captain Coles with a view of preparing the shield, as farce possible, according to Captain Coles's own wishes. UUSTOhLS AND INLAND REVENUE BILL. - - - - Upon the order of the day for going into committee on this bill. Mr. NEWDEGATE objected that, by accepting this form of a supply bill, the house would virtually abandon the care it was bound to take as to the mode in which taxation was imposed, and that each breech of the taxation should be so levied as to indict the slightest inconvenience and burden I upon the peooe. He contended that it should be divided into separate bills, the matters being too involved for the discussion of the details in a single bill. Exceptions to portions of the financial scheme of the go vernment, as embodied in the bili,were taken by Mr. Dam, Mr. W. Dunocen* Mr. Locke, and other members. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER observed that the objection of Nr. Newdegate involved a matter of controversy in which the house had arrived ►t a conclusion, and he did not desire to revive it. He briefly replied to other objections. After some remark■ by Mr. BENTINCK and Mr. Gairrrrn, the house went into committee on the bill. The Bth clause, requiring licenses for private brewing, was omitted, with the consent of the Chancellor of the Exchegoer l On clause 9, which relates to occasional licenses to sell excisable liquors at faits, &c. The C HA NCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved an ameudmest by which no such licenses could be issued ex cept with the consent of the magistrates of the petty sessions of the district, and providing that no liquors be sold except between sunrise sad sunset. These amendments were agreed to after diecuesion. On the clause amended beui put., Sir W. JOLLIFFE moved its omission. On a division the clause was retained by 116 to 63. On clause 12, which related to the hop duty, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated that he would yield to remonstrances which had been made, and • allow a drawback of the duty to the extent of 7s. a cwt., and the clause ea amended was agreed to. On clause 29, relating to the income tax, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER proposed an amendment by which • new aaseument would take place under Schedule I) for the _present_ _year. A long discussion, introduced by Sir li. WILLOUGHBY, on the subject of the assessment of the income tax, and also on the system of appeals and surcharges, took place, at the end of which the clause was agreed to. The other clauses were gone through, and the house re sumed. CORRUPT PRACTICES AT ELECTIONS BILL. Thia bill um rem" a second time. SUPPLY. The report on supply was brought op.

A deputation from the Metropolitan Association of Offioers of Health and others waited, yesterday, on Lord Palmerton at Cambridge-house, to represent the evils arising from the present bad sanitary condition of schools, from the undue amount of sedentary constraint, and from defective physical training. The deputation wee introduced by Mr. Edwin Chadwick, and there were pre sent : Dr. Dtuadas Thomson, F.H.8., president of the aasocriation and medical officer of health for bicuylebou ; Dr. Hillier, secretary and medical officer of health of St. Panama ; Dr. Druitt, officer of health of St. George's, Hanover-square ; Dr. Aldis, medical officer of St. Mary and St. John, Belgravia; Mr. W. B.endle, late medical officer of Southwark ; Mr. Liddle, officer of health of White chapel ; Dr. Sanderson, officer of health of Paddington ; Dr. J. N. Vinen, officer of health of St. John's and St. Olave's, Southwark ; Mr. L. Beale, officer of health of St. George's-in-the-fields ; Mr. C. F. Lord, officer of health of Hampstead ; Dr. Gavin Milroy, formerly unitary com missioner in the Crimea ; and E. C. Tuf sell, Esq., inspector of schools. Dr. El4l.rm, as secretary, read the following general raw lutions adopted unar after discussion at two meet up: "That however good the sanitary condition of schools may be, however well they may be warmed, and ventilated, ▪ lighted, the common school time of five, six, or more hours of dail sedentary constraint required from young and growing chi is injurious to their bodily development, and in violation of the laws of physiology. " That any national system of education ought to provide sytematicedly for the physical as well u the mental training of children. „ That as school houses are commonly constructed, and as schools are usually conducted, without regard to sanitary science, they are frequent mime of disease and of perma nent bodily and mental infirmity, and tend, together with over sedentary constraint, to augment the excessive amount of infantile and juvenile mortality. " That for the prevention of these evils special applica tions of sanitary science and superintendence are required." Lord Pairmanyon said that the deputation were addressing one who was, in respect to the neceasity of clean and pure air, as well as clean and pure water and good exercise, a converted man. He was, however, most sorry to hear the amunt given of the lamentable condition of the young po potation of the country in respect to three essentials, whilst he was glad to beer of the efficiency already attained in sanitary measures for prevention. These facts, as to sani tary progress, were certainly very 'verifying. He, how- ever, requested the deputation to want upon Lord Gran ville, in whose department the nutter &May was. BRITISH AND FOREIGN SCHOOL SOCIETY. The 57th annual meeting of this society was yesterday held at the schools, Borough-road, Earl &MILL presided, and was supported by Lord Lyveden, Sir Walter Stirling, Sir J. Kaye Sbuttleworth, Mr. Bruce, M.P., Mr. James Heywood, Rev. Dr. Allen, Rev. Henry Allon, the Liberian Commissioner, Mr. Marshall, Mr. Car decoy, &c. The following loan abstract of the report of the cam mitten :—" The society's operations include the training of teachers, the maintenance of the model schools for boys and girls in the Borough-road and at Stockwell, the inspection of schools in London and the country, as well as an extensive correspondence abroad; aid is also rendered by grant" of Wiwi materials to poor schools at home and in the cookeries. In the training department provision is made for 200 young ple,the establishment for young men being in thektorough. road, and for young women at Stockwell. Of the former there are at present 05, of the latter 100, in course of preparation for elementary schools. At the Christmas examination for certificates, 72 young men were presented, all of whom passed ; of 73 young women presented 69 were succeed uL Seven inspectors are employed, covering the whole of the country, and engaged in the inspection of schools, holding conferences and com mittees, meetings of parents, and otherwise stimulating to action in the muse of popular education. The number of towns and villages thus visited is 861; the number of schools inspected 1,157, including 1,347 visits to these schools. This is exclusive of the metropolis and its immedinte vicinity, where Mr. Saunders has visited schools attended by more than 30,000 children.

After acknowledging the generous aid given by the friend' of the society to enable the committee to accomplish this important undertaking, the report concluded with an earnest appeal for pecuniary assistance in carrying forward the several and important ob jects of the society. The Rev. HENRY A LLON, in moving the reception and adop tion of the report, and the appointment of the committee for the ensuing year, said it was clear from the statement which had been read that the educational millennium had not as yet arrived. He for one did not regret it, as he believed there was nothing more healthy to church or to state than a prominent dirsent. Mr. Baud ILE, seconded the motion, which was peel to. Lord LTVIDIN, in an eloquent speech, then moved the thanks of the society to her Majesty the Queen for her con tinued patronage of the weeny, and an address of condo. lance on her bereavement. Sir WALTER fttaurro seconded the motion, and took oc casion to blame the educational societies for the opposition which they bad given to the revised code. The motion having been carried by acclamation, The Rev. DANIEL TUCKER moved that Earl Russell be appointed president of the society in succession to the late Duke of Bedford. The motion having been seconded was unanimously adopted. Earl RUBSEII returned thanks in • speech touching upon the recent educational diectusims. LAW AMENDMENT SOCIETY. Yesterday evening the twelfth general meeting of 1 the members of this society was held at the offices, 3, Water loo-place; Mr. J.llB. VAUGHAN in the chair. A paper by Mr. George Harris, on "The Extension of the Jurisdiction of Conn Courts," wee read by Mr. Palmer. It commenced by • the effort& of Lord Brougham in establishing County Courts, and having referred to thesuccess which had attended their workiug, went on to say that some persons now desired to extend their jurisdiction, to a limit which she writer considered would be injudicious. He thought, however, that some extension might be safely made. The Met and most natural of the proposals for extending the jurisdiction was to take off all limit as to the amount of the causes of action to be tried be fore them, and to give them jurisdiction in cases of every description—even of ejectment. The jurisdiction in equity to a certain limited extent might alao be con ferred on oounty courts. It bad been propped that juris diction should be given to county courts in criminal eases, and the writer did not think that each a proposition would be so for ei gn to the duties of county court judges as others which bedlam made. Towards the conclusion of the paper Mr. Harris discussed the expediency of promoting county court judges. By making county court udgeebipe the re gular end indeed the only road to higher promotion we should, he said, secure the first judicial ticket for theme triblucals, while the superior courts in return would derive RAILWAY AND PUBLIC COMPANIiti IN PARLIANINT. Yesterday the committee appointed to consider the merits of the various railways for the Kentish and South-Eastern district assembled in committee-mom No. 4. The bills of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Coin- , pony for their proposed extensions to Weimer and Deal, and from Bromley to St. Mary's Cray, were postponed for the present, and the cue of the Mid-Kent and Addiacombe Railway for a three milerjunotion line between Beckenham and Addiscombe, and to raise 35,0001. by new shares, and 11,5001. bI loan, WM opened. The bill is opposed by the London, Chatham, and Dover, and by the Brighton and South Coast Company, in favour of whose toes, standi Ser)eent Wrangbam made • long address. Ultimately the committee decided in the affirmative, and then proceeded with the general evidence. The opposition of the Lancashire and Yorkshire, Cheshire, Midland, Great Western, and other interests, to the bill of the London and North-Western Railway for ad ditional powers having been cmcluded. the oommittee the bill and settled the clauses. The Team Valley E l tensions Bill of the North Eastern Railway was also paned. In the committee on the West Riding, Hull and Grimsby Railway, the evidence of Capt. O'Brien, 'general of the North Eastern Railway , occupied the en tire day. Evidence in favour of the Wellington, Drayton, and Newcastle was continued ; Mr. Ashdown, C. E., being the principal witness examined. The case of the Radstock and Ksynabam Railway, in Mr. Adair's committee, is tend ing to a terrinnatioo. In the committees on Scottish railways, the came of the Inverness and Aberdeen Junction, and Inverness and Ross shire Railway Companies' Bill', for the purpose of regirli the latter in the farmer, the authorised loan capital of the united company to amount to 271,5801., was opened by Mr. Hope Scott, Q.C., and witnesses examined by Mr. Merewether, Q.C., and Mr. Loch, and the opposites having been overruled, the bill passed unopposed. The committee having decided that the North British company had no locus *Wadi in opposition to the bill of the Edinburgh and Glasgow, further evidence was taken in its favour. The bills disposed of in the Lords were the London and South Western Additional Powers Bill, for a branch from the Southampton and Dorcheeter. near Ware ham, to Creech Heath, in the Purbeck Clay District, for enlarging their stations at Nine-elms, Vauxhall, and South ampton ; for additional rails at Southampton ; and to regu late their share capital, the present amount of which le declared to be 9,207,31111. ; North Devon Railway and Dock to authorise the Admiralty to repay the company 3,000 k. , to be laid out in improving and deepening the estuary of the Taw ; Londonderry and Coleraine, to revise powers granted for the creation of four classes of deben tures, and with liberty to lease the line.
