Os the atooke ;IN woad reading of Ibis bill. — Me. A. S ['AFFORD rose, pursuant to notice, to seer as IS um ndoleat that the bill be read a second time num this day six mouths. There was no member in the boar and Sew is the e , retry who would net acknowledp the import sae sad dillaulty of the seihket, and all who bore in mind what fell hem the noble lord at the head of the government and what fell trots the hon. member for the emir, retry el Cartridge must consider that the hones had remitted is no hither than to the reingaition of the importance of the subject. Reference had been made, as a former ore ion, to the deficiency of education; bet he would state the moditioa of *decade is Ms immediate neighborhood. No statistical iaformation could be relied on, except through the medium of parliamentary esters., end he foetid it stated, nal to his neichboartmed, that the education of the ctildrint was undertekee, bat the arahete of those children did not ap pear. In his village the whole .0 the children were edu cated by the proprietors of the land, without exposes to the poor people, but their education did not appear is say Oficial return. In the parish of Bleckner, Lady Carbery alerted the whole of the ehldrea • bat in • radio. of twelve miles reload where he resided, the enl state of toe population se to Weirdo° was not mentioned in say pr =weary re ern. The children were also edacated a e t the expense of tile Red sad Countess of Exeter, Lord Cardigan, Mr. Watts Rea all, his clergies the member for Northrop tonshire (Mr. Mausselp, Mr. Rebind Water, sad the Duke of Baecleagh. (Hear, hear.) This was • state of educate's in a strictly natal district. He did not gash to coatrovert the proposition. which was lamentably incontrovertible, that the state of educating was not each in England as ought to satisfy these who, on prudential pounds, thought that the education et pr.seat existing wan not compatible with the prosperity or safety debts great kingdom. Two main points presented themselves to the maid of every parrs when they eras to CalallOOT how this evil was to be met : first of all, that relation to religious convictions, which might not to be yielded, Yd, in the next place too great • state laterferesee, lavolviag all the evil; of centralisation. The hoe. member for Oldham completely trampled spa the two rules which he had laid down. lie opposed the protest bill, because be believed, in the first place, it grossly violated and cruelly trampled upon the rights of coandene• and he opposed this bill in the second place, became it di rectly led to all the very worst evils of the most unjust osatralisatioa. As to the viel Won of the rights of competence, be asked the hon. palletise, there having bees some difficulty duriag the diseassioo with regard to the del- Nation of education, why he eatirely avoided the de faiths of the epithet which was in the title of the bill? Why he avoided an explanation of what was meant by the word " secular ?" Let him tell him what the great body of the people believed to be the religion of this country—(hese) —and in spite of the cheers of the hats. 'endure eppe the time was coins when it must be told to the house, that the people of Ragland, as he firmly believed, would fix to this proposition, a stronger epithet, if not the term atheistic. There was • stroag Meting is the realty order the system of secular 'dustier to the ezelesiea of religious teaching, mad he believed that es member is the home would stead up and seatesdie that assertion. It would be idle to allude as the Hattnal Sicgty as representing the north party ; so one would be bold enough to say the church wee is favour of secular education. The church was entirely op posed to the meant scheme. There was a remarkable ab stinence, is the speech of the hon. member, of any allusion to the other great society. Why did he not allude to the voluminous documents of the British and lonise Society ? He would Lot be able to end a passage in any of these papers which did not oppose his pre. at plan. It wee said thr there was a body of nes belonging to other societies who were still in favour of the plan, bet the enottery age peered from the Crosby -hall lecture in 1848, who it was and that " to educate the people detached from Christianity were impossible. Bait wee something more thanmatter; he wee a spiritual being. Lay attempt to alerts kin, is,. religionely, was a mockery and is insult.

Another extract was from a book called "Toe Soul; her Barrows and Aspira tion'," by F. W. Newman, the brother of Father Newnan. It wee to this affect : " New where the plasm of mediator is held by priests, sante, or the fires, it would •p -peer that nocompeasated mischiefs result ; bates applied to Jews Cuo jet the demise is to men perplexleg, owing to the manifold and complicated tenets coswerning hi. person.

He thanked the house for baying allowed him to disgust them with the extracts which he had read. He would sow take the liberty of elleding to another part of the world', history. Everybody knew what kis religiose belief was, hut he wee not now selvicatisg the claims of the Roman catholic *harsh, but he wee speaking for the poor of every religious dertemisation is England. (Cheers.) He wss asking that they should not be exposed to the peril M their rude, end he woo merely calling on the government and the House of Commons to reject • measure which was likely to lend to such a danger. It we. now some time since the Reforma tioa took place in this country ; at that time the Scriptures wen set up in the place of the teething of the church. He was not now going to say whether he thought that each a souse was right ee wrong; but they now arrived at another period, when the Scriptures were laid aside. The school who 'supported such a system as that which was laid down in the bill of the hon. number for Oldham was one which wee ignorantly praised by some of the most respectable prints, who by doing so were perpetrating extraordinary damage to society. He would now tail the house that they were on the eve of another great change, that the two opposing armies were drawing close together, and that this, was not to be the last attack; the principle for which they fought was, whether they were to have religion or irreligion ; the reward for which they fought wu to be heaven or hell. (Cheers.) The motion and the amendment baring been put, Mr. ROEBUCK sail, that as far is the debate had gone, it had proved to him what a bold man the hon. member for Oldham was is Imaging (award this bill. Tbe hon. mem ber who moved the amendment came down to the house with • quiver full of pinned snow. Thee hon. member' seemed to have inherent in him a vast mass of prejudices ; he shot off his arrows, one a'ter the other, each barbed with an imputation &Oast any one who may chance to differ with him in epioloo. He said that he had two grounds of objection to the bill of the hoe. member for Oldham; the first bring, es he said, that it would trample on teader con games. His second was—and in mentioning it he was "pp: aline to the prejudices of the house—that it would have • great eentialieing eff' et. How did the hoe. gent dente ' et his first conclosios ? He oppealed to the konturable member for Oldham, land said that that how:tumble member had not defined the wore secular; he then undertakes to tell you what It was not ; ho said that it was not religious : he chained the word by • curious advance, and said that it was not rilf. erns; going onward he said that it woe irreligious, and added that, therefore—and be (Mr. Roe'.uek) would :ea. was there ever seek a therefore palmed off on man before ? —and, therefore, it wee atheistical. It was not nigious, it was non religious, It was irreligious, and, therefore, it I was atheistical, merely because it was called realer. He wished that the bore would permit him (Mr. &rebut) to explain what he took to be the meaning of the word seem- Ise. His interpretation, then, was, that it was the fashion hag the mad of a human being for the due performance of kis duties is this world, and by that duo performance of them to fit him for the next. (Hew, hear.) Now, with respect to the expectations of what woo to follow after the decease of • ninon, there was a vast difference in belief sang the various sects of Christianity ; but what was a curious thing was, that there was no difference using them as to the bread principle of morality. What was it that they differed in ? They differed is those mysterious parts of religion which had no reference to the guidance of the con duct of a nun in this life, but to the guidance of his belief in doctri al points. Bates the broad principle of moral ty there was no defraud whatever. However, it unfortunately so happened, that diffning u they did on these douses, they were /audio' such a state of mind, that when they came to the teaching of the people they immediately begets to quern' on these Fonts of doctrine, and left out the brood principle of morality. (lieu.) The bon. member for Old. ham had seen the difficalties which stood in the way of the general ideation of the people, and he asked himself if there could not be inch a division in the business of teaching that all might apply their Wads, their power, and their purses together to the one poetic& of the education ; and that all, also, should, is a 'operate and divided form, apply them. selves to the teaching of the other pert. But the bon. member who proposed the amendment ,aid ' that there were books which they would not teach; would he, however, say that bream it was a bed thing at they should leave then things oat that they were all atheists? The imputation we. the same as if Ike hon. member had said that there who supported the hill ' were supporting atheism. The noble lord (Artiodell also got up and read books, one after another, which had no more to do with the question than If he had brought for ward the doctrines of every saint in the calendar. The hooks had nothing to do with the subject, because they were published in Christian England. All these good books were printed la a good Christian land, where no bill 'of this kind wee pissed into an act of parliament. All the than to whisk the noblelon had referred was &notated without the seristaase of say bill of this nature. The noble lord (Ashley) the assabor for Bath made himself useful is his geaeraioa In getting up ragged schools (A lee eh ) He SIM nothing to lough at in the benevolent efforts of the noble lord—(hear, bear); but the great imputation - ea ' this kingdom was that each wools should be in existence. Let anybody read the dreaseteasos maneeted with these saboole r and they would led that vice was swarming in this rest sty. The loh, leadsmen had told them that he and them who worked with his had dose all that they mal4 to further the education of the people. But the noble lord meld tell them how useful had bees all those efforts when they same to Pod that there existed such an immense mass of nes amongst them. It was nothing more than a mockery on the rationality of mankind to go into the streets to talk to these aafortueste wretches to whom he &Laded, and to talk to them about the saviour of owls.

And k win is vain to go to shades& with the parable of the good Baseritan, or any of the other parables, unless you impress Wm with the conviction that He who spoke them was more than a mere man, that be was the true and eternal Boa of the living God. It was from that truth that the eltriatisn precepts derived their force, and it was by belief is that rely that they could hope to regenerate mankind. This bill may be regarded as to its details or its principle. He should rather discuss it as to its principle, but its details were so weighty, bore so much as the general question, and were so capable of rifatetioe, that ha should enter into one Of two poists to show that the hon. member for Oldham was iao IMO in his statements. The first position that the hon. gentleman took was that noon comparison, the number of people receiving instruction in this country was inferior to that of say country on 'be continent. Now, he would take the ease of reunite. The hon. gentlearia stated that in Prussia every one is six received education, bat that in Bepaad it was said that only one in every eight and a half received education, and that he believed that if the thing were man closely inquired into it would be found that not more than one In every thirteen got Inattention. Been supposing this to be correct, the hon. gentleman did not maintain his positioo, for with regard to Prussia they hat before them, every individual, trona the highest trade to the lowest, who received education; whereas in this eoluary those who received education is the wairiesities and in private schools were not before them Ind they bed only the numbs,' of thine who re ceived instruo. Lion in what were called the eleemosynary establishments. In Prussia the proportion of the populatioa whose education was sot paid for by the state was 1.2.6 th, whereas in England it was one-third, and the differ/ass should be placed to the credit of Beglaad. This fallacy ran through the whole theory. There was no country Noel to Borland in its exer tions to give independent ideation, and the house should take care that in making it a bu.ioros of the atate they dial sot py tip all the sources from which at present so much advantage was derived. He very much doubted whether, even is Prairie, cue-sixth of the people were eelueated. Hs held a his head • return from several of its peat tows', end taking tea of the largest he found the overage to be, not one in aix, hat one in aloe, and he very meek doubted whether in a .y lowa the former number would be found to be the average. Bar, independent of this, he thought he should be able to show that • greater prop.rtion or the children received location is Beglood than in Priori& The po pulation cf the two countries being nearly the seam ' the average of ate is sis, the hon. menhir for o:dhain's average, would give two and a half millions educated in Prussia, and if you added the number educated by private means to too potion receiving ektimosynary education in England, you would find the number to ha nearly the same. H. would &Noma that then were about 400,000 children in Ragland usprovided for by existing institutions, such as the nauoaal sad os.gregational school*, and requiring eloesnosy aary education and let him ask whether there were not other can es th an deficiency of schools to pr them attending. II they waoted to carry on • more extended sptem of enucatton,they mot revue th eir whole system of infantile management. They must recollect that there were numbers of children employed in the metropolis, and in the great manufacturing towns, from ten to eighteen hours a day, who could not pcwaibly be expected to attend airy school. (Hear, hear.) Look at Birmingham.

(Hear, bear.) The oonrinissionere appointed to inquire into the nature and ex tent of infantile employment in the year 1842 said : " In stances occur In which children begin to wort so early as , five years old." (The noble lord was here interrupted by' the bum of amortisation in the home. He apologised for wearying the home with details, but they were absolutely necessary to his argument.) The commissioners continued : " Ressler emploement 'outmanned at seven or eight, and of the whole number employed there was a much greater am ber from Bto 13 thew from 13 to 18." Hs would beg the serious attendon of the hosts to the oosclusiou to which the ocaunissionen had come. They said : "Were schools ever so abundant and excellent, they would be wholly beyond the reach of the large proportion of children employed in habitat, en account ot the early age at which they are pat out to work."

The boa. member for Oldham seemed to think that crime in all eases was attributable to want of edasations.

Lord J. RIISSELL.—Intha first play I must my, notwith standing some allegation. that have beau made, that I thin[ there is still • lamentable want of odscation of the poorer closes in this country, and that it still remain. a desirable object for parliament so promotes further means of educes then for this people. (Hear, hear.) In the next place, sir, I must say that I thlok an unjust infernos* would be drawn from the words used by my noble friend who seconded the motion for the OO4lolld reading of the bill this day six Menthe-1 think an unjust inherence would be drawn from skit he said if it were concluded that if we were to mom like schools where none but stealer teaching should be Winkled, it should follow is • neetemary consequence that Ilbi media; of amain authors would be at all prevalent or pogslest wags the teachers is those schools. I own I very meek dash' whether, if parliament were to declare that esetels schools should be established, and that secular du et's only should be permitted la thee. schools—l very isnish doubt whether giving the ordinary education of reed kit e wraing, geography, and history, that must be taught, yam would find that with the prevailing habit'', the prevail ing opinions, of the people of this country, there would be as inclination to adopt those author. a. the standard of Oak creed and belief, aad whether they would not go, either in the clergyman of the established church, or to the minister ammo demoting body, to obtain from him their religious ialloruction, rather than obtain it from each authors as mg noble friend hes alladed to. (Hear, hear.) But now, making this admission, it does, I think, remain that it is a Noy grave question for this house whether they should de alers that there shall be schools established upon this prim alpite, laid down in an sot of parliament, that in the schools se established the Instruction which shall be secular caly shall be taught. (Hear, hear.) I own I cannot but think that any education on inch a bails must be lamentably deft Oak. (Cheers.) I cannot but think that nothing but the meet 'boates necessity should oblige parliament to come to such a conclusion. I cannot but think that to establish by Woliolose—to establish,'" it wore, we smatter of choice—ea missalkii .for the children of this country, in which religion sbonid be entirely excluded—(hear)—in which the immortel pea Wawa should be altogether forgotten—(bear, bear)— annaot but think that such a principle, so astsblished, without an absolute necessity, would be a grievous falling off in ear owe duty both to our religion and to God. (Loud Wens) Now, sir, I con imagine that there may be places whew such a amulet education may be the only education then kpomible. And I can imagine, auppoeing it were mimoabla to have public rat. a for the support of educa tion levied b 3 • tam—that if the inhabitants of a oafish were so divided by religious distinctions, that they should NOM to the conclusion that it was impossible even to admit the reading of the bible in the schoo's which they should establish, and that it was impos sible for them to agree on any mode of religious teaching whatever—that the state should say that in that emergency, that in that extremity, it was better to give secular teaching to the children than to omit !secular iodise. lion altogether, and that to each ind.vidusle should be corn =hod the power of founding a school of secular actuation. But the propositions contained in this bill differ as widely as pollinate from the proposition I have just stated. Tee bill, I own, appears to me to be as despotic —I hear, hear)—to be as contrary to all freedom of choice—(hear, bear)—to be as little conformable to the usu.' liberty which is showed to Englishmen upon these subjects—(hear, heir)—es any bill that it hes to en my fortune to see intro duced into parliament. (Cheers.) Sir, the course which this bill take. is not a little singular sad remarkable. Is the first place, the inspector appointed by the Committees of Privy Council, who his the confidence of the Committee of Privy Council, who may have GI. ms ] not have the confidence either of the church of England, of the British and Foreign School Society, or of the It man catholic body—who may have the confidence of one of these bodies, or who may have been appointed inspector without any such testimonial—ha is to state in hie report wheth. r there is an adeq lacy or inadequacy of macular instruction in any particular parish. It is nut stated that he is to gn by any rule in framing that report. He is not bound to say that there are 500 children In the parish and that nit more than 100 of them go to any &dial His discreti,o is far more unlimited, is far more wide, because he is to state whether the provisions of each polish to affsrd secular edu cation are adequate to the wants of the entire population, " regard being had to the effect of every exclusion from in struction, whether arising from the expense of schooling, from peculiar or epeeist religious teaching adopted in coy school, or from any other cause whatsoever." Why, it would depend entirely upon the opinions of this inspector, with respect to the exclusions, wnether or not be would report that the institution given was adequate. (Hear.) Tao next stop is—the committee of privy conned are to hone as ceder to the overseers of a parish, and the overseers Jihall immediately have an educational committee apps inted lot that pariah. Here is no option left—no choice for the parish, but they must appoint immediately the educational committee. (Hear, hear) The educational comici•tee, again, are to take into consideration the state of the parish— they are to raise rates for the fornishiogof an amount of 10s. per head for gratuitous illairliOtiOD in any school, and they are to found schools in shish gratuitous instruction shall be given, and that gratuitous instruction to be solely of a secular kind. Why, sir, we must consider that we are here dealing with a country in which many schools have been established, and schools which, however they may differ, amorally agree in cue principle, and that principle a totally opposite one to that adopted In this bilL (Hear, hear.) We have the schools connected with the Notional Society, which require that the children shall go to church en Sundays, and that they shall be instructed is the catechism and tor. malarial of the established church. We have the Wes leyan' who teach the Bible in their schools , and who teach likewise the catechism, bat who do not 'Deist on that catechism being taught in cases where parents ma objet, bat who only insist on the reading of the Bible. We have the British and Foreign School Society, In the third place, which orders the reading of the Bible, makes the reading of the Bible indispensable, but does not admit into its school. any catechism or formulary of any religious body., We have the Roman Catholic schools again, which are under the direction of their own priesthood, according to who*, views and opinions subjects of secular instruction are mixed up with religious, and conducted Recording to the religious views and opinion of the clergy. Here we have many difference'. I have stated to you, without going through the congregetionallete and other dissenting bodies, manjdifferences in th e mode of conducting these schools, bat through them all there pervades this principle—that, as the opinions and esnatiences of those who sew- Waal there arbooh, each who give their own labour end time peastete thole Meals religion is the principle theme. (" Hear, hear," and cheers.) Well, then, I do say that if such be the ease—if each are , the prevailing °Oakes of the people of this coontry —it is too much to come forward with a scheme which shall pledge the ratepayers of any parish to give money tar the sappers of the rebook to be established by this measure. In such a use, where schools now are gratuitous schools, it would moat probably deazroy them altogether; for, by requiring so iamb money to be paid in rates for the secular schools, volentary gifts would setae any longer to be devote! to educational purposes. (Hear, hear.) Why, air, what is the feeling which has bee* excited by this proposition ? I will not say, what is the feeling among the church ? will mot mend= other bodies, bat I will mention one, as a sample of the feeling excited—l 'allude to the °Onion expressed by the Wesleyan committers. (Hear, hear.) The, protest split* this measure. They my, " The shade's whom it may be deemed aseessuy to educate in whole or to part at the public exposer, are (equally with all taken In more favoured ciressataaces) Immoral beings. Aay system of instruction which does not regard them in that light, and deal with th. it highest and most enduring relations, must ever be viewed by these sosamittees (the United Committee. of Privileges end Riesetioa) as essen gaily deketive, sad ea/eelated by its omission to exert a most dangerous legumes ea thesewhe receive it." (.. Hear" and cheers.) I believe, air, that that opinion of the Wee laying is the opinion that Is likely to be entertained by others engaged in the great :nutter of education: and, there for*, I say, in the first place, agreeing with the honourable 'agleam who repotted the rejectioa of this bill—do not interfere with the cooscientioes liberty of these great bodies in this country, whether they be the chunk or the bodies dissenting from the dunk; do not interfere with their free liberty of actin, bat allow them to *adieus the education of which they have hitherto been distemper/eters. (Loud cheats.) In the next place, se I have matt, I think the odseatiou that you toeld glee witbeni religion—thee/A it might be in extremity you would permit it in certain esees—mast be exceedingly in ferior to any education which rdmits the teaching of the Bible. (Renewed cheers.) I cannot but think that it would he a great fault la Instreaties, when you are providing by bill sad law foe the instreedee of the people of this countey, if you were not to Worm them of eke great and leading truths of ritligles, and that, when you are teaching moral doctrines, you( less nine-tents s of the force with which those *oral doctrines can be inculcated when you do not toll them at the same time them are the peen pie given by divas en thority, will* have received divine sanction, and span which their eternal welfare or misery depends. (Loud cheers.) But, sir, Wien you shall have established these schools, what eau you expect shall be the result ? I cannot but think, aeserding to what I have steady stated, that there would be, in the first plate, • very great diseourage ! meat given to all those who are now ocen?led in taechieg in the schools supported by voluntary efforts. I aridity nide read the bon. gentleman who proposed this bill to say, when he asked for leave to introduce it, that the And and main object would be, the supporting by rates the sehoula already misting, and that any school, to be added would be supplementary, and would be an addition to the existing schools. But, I own I cannot read this bill without delimitate, that It is Intended that these secular schools are to he a substitute for the existing abode. (Herr, hear s ) And, sir, bow are the people of this country who wish to avoid establishing such schools—lf this bill were to Memo low, and you were to suppose the committee of the Privy Council agreeing to the plan here laid down— how are the people of this country who may still retain their opinions in favour of religious instruction, who may retain their love fur the old teachers and established schools, how are they to retain the power of maintaining th , se atolls, and refusing the establishment of the secular schools? t" Hear, hear," sad applause,) I find this bill is so framed, that there remains no mode of escape, because, at the end of this bill, if, after the order has gone out to the overseers of the pariah, the educed anal committee shall not pertain its duties—if it shall not do what is here prescribed, why, then, it shell be lawful for the committee in cout c.l to " undertake to supply the deficiency of provision for secular educative by the establishment of a free school or schools, under the act, and to exer cise the powers given to the educatiossl commime." Why, sir, here is a power given to the Committee of Privy Council in these few words to force upon the people of every parish In England the v: ry schools according to this scheme and form, and to levy upon them such rates cr taxes as the Committee of Privy Council may think necessary for this object. (Cheers.) Why here is a power which, I must repeat, is a despotie power which we ought not to grant. (Cheers Sir, seeing that the hill is framed differently from what 1 expected, and certainly in a manner which I cannot believe will be in conformity with the opinions or the wishes of the people of this country, I feel myself compelled to vote for the amendment moved by the has, member for North amptonshire (ldr. Stefford). I must again repeat that I du not think the means provided for education In this country are such that we ought to rest raddled with what has b. en done ; and I think it would be mat desirable if we could obtain, before we went any further upon this subject, ful er information than pediment now possesses as to the means of education now existing and as to the school , width have been established since the year 1833, the date ot the last 'catenation we obtained on the subject. (Htar, hear.) I think it most desirable likewise to ascertain, where there is a deficiency of education, if that deficiency arises Mom a want of school, to which parents might send their children, RR arises from the poverty of the district, or from the employment of the children continuously, as has been stated, and at so early an are, that thin is no time for giving them education. luformatien on these subjects is still much wanted. (Hear.) It we obtain that information we can then again r consider this subject. That it is a sub ject full of difficulties no man will deny. When the right hon. gentleman the member for Ripoa (Sir J. Graham) was Secretary of State f6r the Home liepartment, and when he brought forward a scheme for the education of a limited par of the country, for that part of the population I think engaged in factories, I bailed hie effort as one likely to be enamel:l , ly useful. But there arose so much opposition to that scheme, that the right hon. gentleman, wi.h all the care he applii el to modify it, completely faded in seta ) ing the ohjec ions to It, and he was obligel, very properly, to relinquish the plan. A great part of the objevi , as to that scheme was, that the parties were apprehensive that the freedom of education, as Men existing, would be:interfered with. One dissenting tsin4. ter in Lancashire toad me at that time that there were 2,000 children being educated in his district by volunaey contributions, and that he was afraid, if the scheme paned, these voluntary contributions would cease. I think it is impossible for the house to consent to the present bill; and In Bait g I cannot consent to vote for the 'aunt reading of the bill, I must observe that my desire fn the general educatioa of the people r f this country is by no means diminished in reel and intensity. But my wish is —it was the wish of • sovereign of this country-1 wish above all things that if we enable the people of this country to receive instruction, we may enable them to read the Bible—(cheers)—that they may receive it at an early age, wt en they are first beginning to learn the lessons of morality , and that In the instrue•ion imparted to them the Holy Scriptures should not ba given them merely as a present when they grow up, to diminish its importance in their eyes, and to make it be looked u po u by them only as an object of rennet. (Loud chests ) Mr. HUME said he considered it a matter of nectuity that psrliao.nt should step in and supply the defitiency in our educational system which at present existed. lie ap proved of the bill now before the house, because he east. dared it the right of every min to be educated, aril the duty of property to impart educati o n t o th e p oor and the unlearned. Ile detn.y regretted the speech which had just been addressed to the house by the noble lord (J. Russell), because that speech was contrary to the whole tenour of Vis noble lord's general conduct, and bemire it was hopeless to expect the bill to be successful, while such opinions were entertained by the prime minister of England. The Marquis of BLANDFORU opposed the bail. H. contended that no arguments drawn from reason or .ec.rary ,uld be adduced it, favour of the measure, and that secular education would tend to undermine the institutions ot the country. Mr. ANSTEY rose amidst cri.s of " divide," and moved that the &Mits.!). adjourned to to-morrow (this day) wrt• night, which motion waa put and agreed to. KIDDERMINSTER ELECTION.
