In Lon d on , on,the num ber ofchildren educated by volu ntar y subscripti ons was 4752. at an expense of 885 91. f ot w hi c h t hey were com pletely taught and cl o t hed ; one or two hundred b e ing boarded as well as clothed for that t hen proceeded to notice the heavy expenses of some esta blishments, and said , that in one i nstance, w here the care of each pupil in Queen Ann's . time cost only p s . it now amounted to 91. In . turning their atten aon to the country , the Committee were led to one mu t t from their inquiries, namely, that all classes, w hether the means were possessed or not, had a most ' ,dent, constant, and strenuous desire to obtain the benefits of e d uca tion—(Hear, hear). In order to obtain the fullest information, the Committee ad dressed a circular to those persons throughout the country who were connected with school establish ments, and such had been their alacrity, that in the c ourse of ten days at the farthest, from Si; to 7000 o letters in answer had been received by the Committee. It was from a comparison of these letters that the result had been taken, which must be so gratifying to the House. Wit h res p ect to the d ifference in reli gious opinions, each sect m ight establish its own school in large towns. Not so in sm all towns, for there the m inority of the inhabitants, if they happened to be Dissenters, were to be excluded from the benefit, but on the other hand, if the majority were Dissenters, they admitted the Churchmen.—EThe Honourable Crearleman hc; e c omplained of the want of attention in the Housej—To remedy the defect of education in the remoter and less populous districts of England, the House would do well to adopt the system 'of education pursued in Scotland, namely, Parish Schools. The late Mr.Whitbread and Mr. Windham had made many observations on this part of the subject—the former, with that unbounded philanthropy, viewed it in a proper light, while the latter, full of paradoxes, was at variance with the progress of intellectual wis dom. But the time was happily arrived when there was no longer two parties on this question : all agreed in the wisdom of educating the poor, and all were prepared in the laudable exertion. In this cause the Parliament of Scotland had taken the lead. So far back as the year 1492 they did themselves the honour of placing on their Statute Books, a law, by which G the Barons, and all persons above the rank of com mon Freeliolde:s, were compelled to send their sons to a Grammar school to learn Latin." After this, mea mes were gradually taken to carry education down to the lower orders of society. King Charles the First, whatever he was in this country, had been a great reformer in Scotland: he was the author of that great eccle6astical change—the general commutation of tithes and it was he who first laid the foundation of Palish Schools. This system was first propounded by an Act of Council, and afterwards made the sub ject of an Act of Parliament. But it was not till after the Revolution that the Scottish Parliament, by one of their best and last Acts, rendered the system of Parish Schools universal in Scotland. After above a century of experience, it was still found that this. system was most highly beneficial. It was attended with moderate expense. The School-house was a building little better than a barn, which in Scotland cost about forty or fifty pounds, and which in this country might be erected for about a hundred pounds. For this outfit and a salary of 201. per ann. the whole of Scotland enjoyed benefits which in their consequences extended from the lowest to the highest classes of the community ; insomuch that now, in the minds of men, over the whole world, the name of a Scotchman was always combined with the quality of a good educa tion. It was to that quality that the great ease, the comparative happiness, and what was called the suc cess in life ofScotchmen in general, was attributable. In what part of the world were Scotch men not to be found? What country was there which had not benefited by them? In Germany and Switzerland they settled, and disseminated the practice of industry; and indeed in all other countries. When this subject was brought under the consideration of the late Mr. Perceval, he said—‘ , Wait till you have had a Committee, and then see what the result of their report may be." This he had now carried into effect, and the House would be furnished with information on which to proceed, on a measure which, sooner or later, he was con y:aced the House was to adopt. The Hon. Gentle man then referred to the evidence taken before the Committee in respect of the funds appropriated to charitable purposes, which, by the returns, amounted to 1 :260,000 a year in 1788 ; taking that the returns made only were one-third, the actual amount would be from seven to eight hundred thousand pounds.- -These funds were received by Trustees ; but there were other funds which were not received by these Trustees, who had not sufficient powers given them for the purposes of their trust. He calculated, that if they had been properly authorized, the amount in le hands of the Trustees, from the increased value of the land, would be from 2,000,000/. to 2400,0001. The deficiency arose from this cause, and from ne glect, abuse, and other causes. He noticed the Sta tutes on the subject, and stated some facts as con• cected with devises. In Berkshire, at the Restora 1, some lands were devised for charitable pur aa, which cost 40001. In 1811, the lands only ..educed 1961. a-year. Would the House believe that the Trustees could thus neglect their duty to the aevolent object of their trust? Another estate was for 4501. a-year, which a surveyor estimated at 001. In other places lands worth 2000/. a-year let for so many hundreds. What is done with produce cannot be ascertained, for the Corpora al refused to shew their disbursements. In another stance Sir T. White left 24,000/. to be lent in cer -1 sums to poor tradesmen. Another Corporation . instead of lending the money, taken it them- Ives, to pay their own debts. The Honourable 'man detailed some other evidence, to prove that various abuses existed in the application of the filr4.

To those who were inclined 14 tItmour, and to say thatilk was about to encroach acid to meddle with private property, he wi s hed 06 ;tr e,..snat these Charities w ere not private pro petty, they were as much public prowl! as any else which was given for the sofposiffdr e i of the subjects of these realms. He l tutes in support of his position, particular of the King, which completely recognized Institutions as hi the light of public property.-- With respect to the Universities, they were liable to enquiry. Why, he asked, could we not have Com missions to enquire into the state of Charitable Insd tutions, as our forefathers had ? From Queen Elias beth's reign there were 964 Commissions for this pur -1 pose down to the present reign. From the beginning of the present reign to this time there were only three Commissions. It was said the Court of Chancery was open to the correction of these abuses Would they send the poor into that Court, who had not $ halfpenny, and were rendered still poorer by the dila pidation of their funds ? It put him in mind of what was innocently said by Mr. Erskine, now Lord Er skine, and which produced no small merriment among the Common Law Lawyers, when Lord Kenyon told him the Court of Equity was open to his client— " would your Lordship send a fellow-creature there r A Commissioa, issued in 1803, to inquire into the abuse of a charity. In 1803 it was thrown into Chan cery. In 1808 it was thought ripe for decision, and well it might be. It was four years standing at the head of the paper, and it remained undecided at this day. He could not dismiss this subject without ex pressing, as strongly as he could, his admiration of, the immense sums appropriated to charitable nest not by men possessed of estates equal to principali ties; not by men who have amassed immense wealth in the service of their country, and who wish to give back part of their well• earned wealth, or to com pound with their consciences for sums derived from less pure sources ; but by honest and industrious tradesmen, who, by the benefits of good education, having raised themselves to situations they could not at first have expected, had appropriated large sums to the education of the poor. He then moved that the House should go into the Committee on the Educa tion of the Poor. to the ly the Lord CASTLEREAGH did not rise to oppose the course proposed by the Learned Gentleman but with respect to the present state of the Charitable Funds of the country, no doubt, in the lapse of time, abuses had crept into them, as well as into all other Institutions. He agreed, that occasionally some vi gilant inquiry should be instituted with regard to them. He was also of the same opinion as the Lear. ned Gentleman, that the proposed Commission should be one of inquiry ; but he objected to unfounded or unauthenticated charges against the Court of Chan cery, which must, notwithstanding all their Commis sions, be the Court to which they must ultimately repair for a correction of abuses in Charities. But he would sooner have supported this Bill if the proposed Committee had been appointed under the Crown. A contrary species of Commission would betray an un fair doubt of the integrity of the Crown. He also wished the Commisson to be composed, partly of men to receive a salary, and partly of men of rank and weight in the country to receive no remuneration.— He agreed that there was a necessity for pushing the remuneration of the Commissioners farther than that proposed by the Honourable and Learned Gentle man, namely 10001 . a year each. As no abuse ex isted in the Charterhouse, he should propose to ex empt it, in some future stage of the Bill, in the same manner as Winchester School, and other great Insti tutions. With these modifications he supported the Bill. Mr. BROUGHAM explained. The Bill did not make the Court of Chancery the resort in all cases of dispute, but only empowered an application to that Court in urgent cases where it was to have a Receiver appointed immediately, to prevent the funds from being quite eaten up before any remedy could be had from Parliament. Mr. ROBINSON wished Harrow to be exempted from the operation of the Bill. Mr. BROUGHAM objected to that, because then every Gentleman would move to exempt a School, so that at last there would be none left on which the Bill could operate. Mr. PEEL thought it right that Harrow should be exempted, because it had beep decided by the Court of Chancery, that Harrow was not intended, by its founder, as a school for the poor. Mr. ABERCROMBIE hoped the Commissioners would be allowed to make the circuit of the country, to inquire into all Charities. He objected to the Commissioners being Barristers actually practising ; as there were suakient Gentlemen, who had received a legal education, but did not actually practise at the Bar. Mr. BROUGHAM said, in reply, that he trusted this Bill would occasion no additional expense, because the same plan might be adopted as in the Court 4 Chancery, namely, to pay the Commissioner out of the funds of the Charities. The House then went into a Committee on the Bill. Mr. ROBINSON moved that Harrow be exempted from the operation of the Bill. Mr. MILLS proposed that the Free School at Rugby be also exempted-•-(Laushier). Mr. BENNET moved that the Shrewsbury Free School be exempted—(Laughter). Mr. HARVEY asked the same favour tor that of Norwich— ( Increased laughilte. Sir M. W. RIDLEY claimed it for the Free School at New. castle, as it had produced such great men as the Lord Chancel lor and his brother--(Lasigliterj. Lord CASTLEREAGH was disposed to exempt the Harrow and Rugby Schools, but not to extend the exemption further. Mr. BROUGHAM rejoiced that there were not more Mem bers present, otherwise the proposed exemptions would be ten times more numerous than they were—( Lawgiger The Committee then divided on Mr.Roattisos a Motion : For exempting the Harrow School 30 Against it - - - • 5.3 , Majority against the Motion —9.3 Some con►ersation took place on the propriety of extending the Bill to Scotland, which was not pressed.

Far HENRY PARNELL complained, on the Chancellor of the Exchequer moving the other Orders of the Day, that his motion for a Committee on the Irish Assessed Taxes had been put olf from tune to time at the desire of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. He wished his motion to come on immediately. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER wished it still farther postpooed, till some day when Notices should precede Orders. Sir JOHN NEWPORT objected to postponement, as inju rious to the interests of Ireland, there being a fuller attendance of Irish Members than at any time during the Session. He moved, instead of the other Orders of the Day being now read, that the House should resolve itself into a Committee on the Irish Assessed Taxes.

A most interesting topic, the proper application of Bequests and Endowments to the purposes of Edu cation, occupied the attention of the House of Com mons last night. It appeared, by the statement of Mr. BROUGHAM, that from the evidence before the Committee which had been appointed to inquire into this subject, there was every reason to believe that the funds which had been appropriated to this use, however little they may have been attended to, how ever much they may have been abused, if duly col lected and applied, might be estimated at from one million and a half to two millions a-year ! In the House there seemed to be a general feeling of the ab solute necessity that exists for adopting some mea sure calculated to ascertain effectually the amount of these funds—to render their collection efficient—and to insure their due application. It is proposed, for these purposes, that Commissioners, with proper powers, be appointed, and with salaries, that any new law which may be passed upon the subject may not be left to execute itself, but be enforced by those who would, from time to time, bring the matter under the review of Parliament. The whole subject, in every view that can be taken of it, is of the greatest importance. It is no longer a question whether the wellbeing of society depends in a great measure on the state of Education, and the facilities with which its benefits may be extended throughout the Empire? However painful it may be to contemplate the constant robberies (for crimes ought to have their proper epithets) which have been practised on these funds, it is consoling to the friends of mankind to learn that such ample revenues have been provided in different parts of the Empire, for furnishing the blessings of Education to the Poor; and that means are at length about so be adopted, to ensure their due application. But, as such abuses in this one branch have, before the Committee, been proved to exist, may we not hail the present measure as the forerunner of the ap pointment of other Commissioners to enquire into the state of all the funds that have been bequeathed for charitable purposes of any description what ever? It is shocking to think of the depredations that are constantly made upon this species of public property; and it is high time that some law were passed making it compulsory on all Trustees of such funds (and even upon the tenants of the property) to make a yearly return to an Office to be appointed for the purpose, of all matters and things within their knowledge respecting such bequests. In this way knowledge would, in the first instance, be oh. rained of the existence of the fund—no matter how properly or improperly applied hitherto : and all fu ture bequests for such purposes should be duly re gistered in the same Office, to prevent their getting opt of sight. The friends of humanity will see with pleasure that the Bill for regulating the Labour of Children in Ma nufactories, is likely to pass through the House of Lords, notwithstanding the opposition given to it.— The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, with just and manly feeling, that if the College of Physicians, and all the Surgeons in England, were to come to the Bar and say that fifteen hours labour per day was not injurious to the health of children, he would not believe them. The Paris Papers of Tuesday and Wednesday are among the arrivals since yesterday, but neither the domestic nor foreign intelligence which they contain is of much public interest. The Court of Assizes at Albi has been occupied during two more days in hearing the defences of Bastide, Jaussion, Madame Manson, and the woman Baud. The defence of Bastide, which he read him self from a written paper, was particularly marked for the embarrassing acuteness of its deductions, and the bold severity of its animadversions on the conduct of the prosecutors and witnesses. The Court, at the instance of the PROCUREUR-GENERAL, ordered it to be entered on the record, for the purpose of subse quently taking cognizance of the person who has been guilty of these freedoms, for so they are termed, Bastide having admitted that it is not his own com position, although he declines stating by whom it was written. The Catholics of Palestine have been thrown into a state of consternation in consequence of the Orien- tal Greeks having taken exclusive possession Qf the Holy Sepulchre. A Deputation has been sent to Constantinople to remonstrate against the seizure. In no City are fires more frequent than at Con stantinople. Not less than seventy-five are reckoned to have taken place there in the course of four months. On the night of the 21st of March there were three at one time, one of which consumed the hotel of the Swedish Ambassador, M. PALIN, with a fine cabinet of antiquities, which he had been many years collect ing and at a great expense. The following is an account of another dreadful conflagration, at Gran, in Hungary : VIENNA, APRIL 25. On Monday, the 13th, the town of Gran, in Hungary, was _visited by one of the most dreadful conflagrations that ever af flicted any city. It broke out about one o'clock in the afternoon, through the negligence of a baker, as it is stated, and totally destroyed the fourth part of the town of Gran, which lies in so fine a situation, and is inhabited by a very industrious and honest Ivee of people. Credible letters say that the fire, excited by a furious storm of wind from the North, spread with dreadful re-.. pidity, and in three hours reduced 220 houses to ashes. The storm having rendered all the efforts both of the firemen end citizens fruitless, it may be well supposed that many of the inhabitants, and great numbers of the domestic animals, being lovertaken and surrounded by the flames, must have perished. The wind carried the ashes and firebrands to the distance of some mflts from the town, And set fire to the press-houses lately boat at a great 4ipmes, st a diattlieee /hes she town, Were mostly refuted le ashes.
