The whple of what-was-done towards the suppression of a Most dangerous and alarming conspiracy, unavoid ablrproceeded on the principle of confidence in his Majesty's •Government—a confidence which alone enabled the Government to shew they had duly ex ercised the extraordinary poWers entrusted to them. And he trusted Picliiment would set its face against a line of conduct which would materiallytend to counteract or destroy all the good which had beeli achieved. Earl GROSVENOR said, • the Noble _Earl's de fence of secret informers, implied an attack upon our laws, which, so far from covering up - evidence from all but the interested and favoured eye, sifted it carefully to the'botiOm, and exposed it to •tiew ; those lads, which protected even spies, but did riot conceal them—Veer, hea , .l—The Noble Earl boast ed, that information hid been ,received *ply upon oath ; but Still it . was information ca.-parte. Were witnesses examined upon oath on the opposite side? Even this e.r-perte information upon oath, the only * evidence was the exiirrte statement' of tht Noble Earl. deprecated this Bill as a dreadful prece dent, which the weak and wicked-Ministers of a fu ture day Vould not fail to lay hold of, against the justice. the-resentment, et the contempt of the na tion. Be feltit necessary to advert for a moment to the circoinatances which were stated on the grounds Of this- Bill. The Report of last year was relied on. But let the House recollect how that Committee was grossly abused about the existence of an alarming club in the metropolis, hich ceased to exist long before; how the Report excited general consternal tion'by the 'discovery of this club and its wide-spread ramifications, and how the whole turned out to be a palpable mistake--(hear, hear.)—He remembered clubs at the same period to which the Report did not allude, in a county not unknown to the Noble Viscount. This associaticm.was denominated " The Knights of Brunswick"—a new Order, not created by the Sovereign, yet causing n 1 alarm, and passed over in the Report. A new Order, as if there were not already orders enough, "of the Bath, the Thistle, the Leek," &c.—(llear, hear.) He did not, how ever, object to the latter, being himself half a Welsh man.. Another ground was, the dissemination of profane Parodies. Let the authors be tried, and punished, with all his heart ; but let not his Majesty's Ministers be the prosecutors. If Mr. Hone be tried for writing, cr pu!)lishing Parodies, it was too much that Ministers should be his accusers, when some Right lionour4ble Gentlemen and Noble Lords, had indulged their vein in setting him the example.— " If Clytemnestra fall, let it not be by the hand ofi Oreste;'. But in truth, it was not the parody on religicir., but the ridicule of Ministers, that had brought those persons to trial—:(hear, hear, hear.) He had heard the histOei of a. distributor of blas phemous publications' in a' certain county ; the cul prit was discovered and aka:mined; he turned out to be 'the servant of a very loyal 'gentleman (in the Nc ble Viscount's sense of loyalty). and he was never pnr.ished. It was his conviction, from the tone of the measures lately proposed—the language of Mi nisters—the language Of the Noble Earl opposite— the language of the Bill, that the present Admini stratir)r. were labc , _:ring to change the Government into a despotism ; that is, to deprive the weak of his protection against the strong—the poor against the rich—altd the people against the Minister—an alarm was expressed by the Noble and Learned Lord on the Woolsack, respecting the temper and designs of the poor; and the French Revolution was ascribed to the lower orders. But he contended, the danger was not to be apprehended from the humbler classes; and that the French Revolution was produced, not by the poor, but by the abuses of a tyrannical and corrupt Government. Who was so blind as not to discover the strong tendency to despotism, at the present day ? The torrent of despotic rage was bursting, like burning lava, over the Continent : and every one of the arbitrary Governments of Germany that are now trampling upon the little state of Saxe- Weimar, because the Liberty of the Press had . there established, must all suffer a similar convul sion. But let not the partisans of despotism hope to succeed in extinguishing that day-star of liberty, which was the source or moral, as well as political light and health to civilized man. " Think'st thou yon sanguine cloud }lath quench'd the orb of day ; To-morrow he repairs his golden flood, And lights the nations with redoubled ray." The Noble Earl concluded, with referring to the Financial Administration of the Noble Lofds oppo site ; expressing his opinion, that it would be found necessary to apply the Sinking Fund to the exi gencies of the public service, and supporting the Amendment. The Bishop of EXETER expresser:ldris surprise at what had fallen from the Noble Earl on the subject of those dangerous religious parodies which he seemed to treat so lightly ; the more so, as he had always considered the Noble Lord as a serious man. VW his part, he regarded these publications in a Very dangerous light ; and although a witty casual pro duction of an individual may have been overlooked,: it was no reason why a continued series of the most dangerous libels and parodies against the established', religion , of the c-r,untry should be suffered to proCeecf without prevention or punishment. The consequences" of such publications may be highly calamitous. No small mischief had been occasioned by them, and it was the duty of his Majesty's Government, by every means in their power, to prevent the continuance of a practice so dangerous, and of this he thought the Noble Earl himself must be sufficiently aware. The Earl of GROSVENOR, hi 'exPlaeationi re peated his opinion, that the prosecutions, instead of allaying, tended only to increase the -evil ; it served too widely to disseminate those obnoxious publica tions, of which not one in a hundred were- seen be foie the prclecutior.:: took place. Abstractedly to man could hold the interests of religion more sacred than himself. The Bishop of EXETER contended that the dan gerous publications in question were widely dissemi nitted among the lower orders before the prosecatiOns had been instituted. Lord ROLLE agreed in opinion with the Hon. and Rev. Prelate ; and took occasion to panegyrise the conduct of the Magistrates - who had been active in suppressing the late disturbances, and whom he thought worthy of the protection of Parliament. ' •": The LORDCHANCELLOR said, the Noble Earl's speech was so closely to the point, that not one word he )tad said bore in the slightest agree upon • the question before the House, viz. whether the Bill shrsula be Separated into two parts? The %Uttar] had referred to him as " the Noble and Learned Lord or, the Woolsack," (which was Ms usual priclice; at least once in each speech) as having expressed fears of the designs of • the poor against the rich—(hear.) —But he would then declare 'that he was much more afraid of the rich than the poor. The Noble Earl would not bring to frial those infamous publi cations, Which aimed at the destruction of religion in general, not of the establishedChurCh only, which was but one form of propagating christianloctrine ; which attacked at once the altar and the Throne.— Those who distributed such vile publications were answerable for what had befallen those who had be come the victims of public justice—aye, even those who had paid the penalty Of their lives? yet the Noble Lord would not have them prosecuted. What was this but a proclamation that all that was dearest to us as subject! and as men, might be attacked with impunity—(kear, hear.) He should make but one observation more. He had been a law officer, and knew the obloquy attending the exercise of those powers ; and he took that opportunity of declaring, that in his opinion, the present law officer of the Crown had performed his public duty, in the most exemplary and faithful manner; and moreover, that if he had not instituted trials as he had done, he would not have deserved what 'he (the Lord Chan cellor) had just said of him. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE condemned the Bill as a precedent for future indemnities, even where the information given might be false. This system of secret information was more congenial to the laws of Venice than those of England. Their Lordships should take care (as it was in somewhat homely terms expressed by Mr. 'Windham) that they not only were convinced, but came honestly by their conviction, of the grounds of this Bill. Did their Lordships know what Merit acts had been done? ', against whom, or by whom—whilst they proceeded to grant a sweeping indemnity. It was even found necessary, to refer to petitions scouted by, the Noble Lords as unworthy of notice, for inforniationurnra paint introduced into-the Bill; vizi arrestsloireland. (hear.)

EDUCATION. Mr. BROUGHAM rose to move the renewal of a Committee, first appointed two Sessions ago, to in quire into the Education of the Lower Orders in the Metropolis. The object of the Committee was, by means of inquiry, to find out the- best remedy that could be applied to the evils arising from the want of a proper education among the lower classes of society. In the pursuit of its inquiry the Committee had last year been accidentally interrupted by his illness, and during the last Session no addition was made to what had been .done during the Session be fore the last. From what had been already done, the conclusion.was, first, that it would be expedient t.:2: e rplv to Parliament for pecuniary assistan c e to t the erection of schools ; and thar any sum which might be voted for this purpose should not be in the shape of a permanent yearly income, to be placed under the superintendence of Government, or of any- society Of persons. The great - obstacle was .he want of school-houses, and of hotises for School masters. In order to have such erected: the gross sum of money voted by Parliament should be vested' in proper persons empowered to make advances from . it to the various quarttrs *here such Ituildi%gS Ought to be erected ; these advances to be made„by way of loan, in cases where there was a prospect of repay ment, or by way of grant, where there was no such prospect. From the evidence taken before the Com- - mittee it appeared, that a very moderate sum would be sufficieat for that purpose ; and that the extent of the benefit to be expected was not be in to the sum advanced. A sa proof of this, on case of the sister kingdom might be referred to. Since the Union, Parliament had granted at than 40,0001. for the support of chartered Ireland. How far this annual - ficially employed was a r irerent qtr lately some occasion to inquire into tha schools, and from what he had ascerta believed that the more the tram , . more apparent would it be, that t::e - proportion to the money employed. lise annual Parliamentary grant ....Itch Lel • — Frrsii.;elsesteved schools had fund. of 6;000/. 0r20,9001. a-year, so that airainual sutra es‘stearly 10,01.101. would be surprized •to hear it, the t, children educated by them was c:-. 1 .7 hundred at the utmost. He took thi a Report made to the Irish Ht...ase c. fore the Union ; but the celebrated had made careful inquiry into the the total number of pefsons educ:.ted at less than one-third of the mentioned. Now, to shew rn.„ the benefit produced by a fund app purposes of eduCation depended ca of it, he need only contrast the r. Chartered Schools with what was dot Man School Society, an Institution London. With an annual fund of last-mentioned Societyestahlished 24-0' the Irish Chartered School Society, revenue of 60,C30/. supported only former educated 27,009 children ; their immense funds, 0n1y9,500. the opinion of Mr. Howard respectit Schools, he thought it but fair to lieved they were much improved sine time. He hoped that whatever Part induced to do in consequence of the question, would be done with a spar the sum -advanced ; that they would ' lance to the application of the sum be attentive to provide every possible vent abuse in the application of it. 01 proportion of the sum advanced, he would be a burden upon the public ; I nothing more was wanted thin tin small sum. At present, througheue very large sums were raised by pri , or produced by the endowments of it establishment and support of schoe stances these funds were greatly Tnic cases of such misapplicatier. did not scope of this Committee.

It was very creditable to such vast funds had been at varicras charitable uses. It appeared from is . Gilbert, that the annual reve:-.....e of settled, was not less than t..vo cr f.• sand pounds.

He therefore thought it hi licly to notice the circumstance, as man had taken the case to himself, at vinced that the management td that Rev. Gentleman was most ct praise worthy. He then moved—.

ROBINSON did not rise tion, but merely to state, that he w quainted with the Clergyman allude nourable and Learned Gentleman, the truth of what was said by the tleman respecting his excellent cow mentioned. Mr. PEEL said, that if the IL Gentleman had looked into the Report the House in 1805, he would have fr the state of the Irish Chartered & ved since the time of Mr. Howard, Learned Gentleman over-rated the venue of these Schools, which did exceed 50,000/. per annum.
