SATURDAY, TO THE PROTESTANT CONSTITUENCIES OF THE UNITED KINGDOM. I N England separate Educational G ra nt s are I made to Roman Catholic schools for Secular Instruction, the patrons being left free to regulate the Religious Instruction therein. The patrons also of Jewish Schools in England are left at perfect liberty to teach the doctrines of the Jewish faith. In the British possessions iu India patrone of schools, aided by public educational grants, may, under British sanction, teach Idshomedan and Hindoo children their respective systems of Religion, without interference, provided they give good Secular Education. In Ireland, while there are more than 3,000 National Schools under the patronage and control of Homan Catholic priests, supported principally by the grants of Parliament, and with un restricted power of excluding the Bible wholly from their schools, there are Scriptural Schools, which are refused all assistance from the State, except on conditions which restrict the patrons from requiring the children its attendance to be instructed daily in the Holy Bible. So that the freedom which is conceded to Roman Catholics and Jews in England, and to Maliomedsns and liitidoos in India, to teach error, and to the Roman Catholic patrons in Ireland to exclude the Bible, is altogether denied in Ireland to the patrons who claim to be free in the use of the pure Word of God. Mr Walpole pr , posed, on Tuesday last, that this grievous wrong and injustice should be remedied wholly without preju dice to the existing arrangements. It was shown by Mr. Walpole that Lord Derby, the founder of the National System, after having eat upon the Lords Com• mittee of :BS4, now fully approved of his proposition. After an attempt made unsuccessfully to adjourn the debate —Lord Palmerston and his followers having voted AGAINST the adjournment—the House of Commons AFFIRMED Mr. Walpole's proposal on a division of 113 to 103, and ordered an address to the Crown accordingly. It is now sought by the opponents of Scriptural Education to RESCIND the resolution; and on Monday next it is threatened that a proposition to that effect will be submitted to the House. There is little time for action, but the NATIONAL Cum feel it their duty to cull the attention of the Protestant Constitu encies to this matter; and to urge them, as they value the great Protestant principle of the free use of the Bible in National Education, to APPLY INDIVIDUALLY BY THE NEXT POST (there is no time for any combined action) TO THEIR REPRESEN TATIVES, and to press upon them the duty of RESISTING any attempt open or insiduous to rescind Mr. Walpole's resolution so deliberately passed by the House of Commons.
