Baronet complained of similar waste in the epplice lion of the funds of other Charitable Inatitetioos in Ireland. Sir G. HILL enumerated the various advantages of the Charter Schools. Mr. HUNIE object'd to the principle of granting money for clothing and maintaining as well as ode eating children. If the money thus voted yearly had been applied according to the plan of education adOplell he the Hibernian Society, it oneld have educated 360,000 children. At this moment 60,000 children were receiving edecetion in Ireland from last Society. Colonel BARRY stated, that the Chaplain of the House of Industry now received 1301. a year in con sequence of his having to officiate twice every Sunday in a chapel built for the Institution in the vicinity of Dablin. Mr. ABERCROMBIE said, that the question was, whether the money was applied in the m moat generally beneficial. The sum of 62,0001. had been espended in the course of the last 10 years in build. logs. IVlsat might not have been dune if this WO had been applied to education ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER! agreed in the general principles ergot, on the other side. But when money was appropriated in a cer tain twastrier by benevolent individuals, as in the present ciao, Government could not interfere to use tend either the original fund or the auxiliary grant. ; Mr. A BERCROMBIE espleined, and said; he too j thought it would be enjestifiahle to interfere with I private (untie.

GORDON wished to know whether the report which he had heard was correct, that Prods stations were only inserted in certain Papers, and that they were given to those Papers... sort of cos pentation for the support which they gave to the Government. Mr. C. GRANT stated that this was the sem which Pirliament were in the habit of grloting.

It lass only a legitimate Influence over the Press, which was gamed by such a mode of pro ceeding. Mr. HUME coutended plait the doctrines of the last weaker, and maintained that instead of befog a legitimate, it was one of the most illegitimate iglu.- paces which coeld be exercised over the Press.— When one Paper had a circulation of 10,000 and smother of 5,000 copies, was it fair to insert the Proclamations, ihc. in the Paper which had the least circulation, merely because it was the supporter of Government. if it were necessary, be would pledge himself to prove this fact to the satisfaction of the Hoses. Mr. BANK ES repeated his assertion that this was a fair preference, for which Government ought not ,„ be bl a med, If they did give it to particular Papers. Whets he saw the Press not only lagged *pima the present Government, bet even against all Govern. meets, he thought that Gneerawnt was strongly interested in the question, apd that it would be even acting injuriously to itself and to the country, if it did not retort to every 11111“111110 in its power to dia. coentenanre such pehliestions.
