The Petition stated the falling off of trade in Truro, which they ascribed iu a great degree to the scarcity of money among'the labourers and others dependant on husbandry, who, from the distressed condition of the agriculturists at this time, were disabled from purchasing those articles supplied by the Petitioner., of which formerly they were great consumers. Mr. CURTISS presented a Petition from certain iu the county of Sussex, complaining of agricultu ral distress, and stating it as their opinion, that if the proposed alteration in the triode of taking the averages he the only measure adopted fur the re lief of the agriculturist, it would not yield any satisfaction whatever.

EDUCATION IN IRELAND. Mr. MAURICI FITZOIMALD in rising to make the motion of which he hod given notice, requested the attention of the House while he explaiued the groUnds on which it was founded. Two Commis sions had been instituted to inquire ibto the state of the several institutions for the purposes of edu cation established lit - Ireland. The first of which, consisting of persons of the first rank. character, and'ability ; Made fourteen Reports relat i ve to the subject of their inquiry ; out of which, although they were most ably rewired and digested, no measure of any kind had proceeded. Another Comati•sion was afterwards formed under the 33d of George 111. which made seven Reports. Thus there had been in all 21 Reports made to Parlia ment on this most important subject, and yet no mea sure had been adopted for the purpose of promot. lug, regulating, or improving the ethicstion of the people of Ireland. • Although there were many schools, of various kinds, of public and private iustitution, yet no adequate oysters of a gene ral nature had hitherto been adopted. There were in Ireland, as appeared by the Report of the Commissioners, schools of Royal footed:mon seven in number, whose waited endowments amounted to 8,800/. per annum. and the number of iseholars educated therein was 360. The chi.- skit veheoto wader Enemies Smith were four in number, with f Is amounting to 1,0001. and educating (277 scholars. The diucestio schools were twenty in number, their funds 8201. and their scholars 428. There were also fifteen classical schools of private foundation, of the funds of which § or the number of scholars educated no them, nu return had been made. There wee two schools, one at Navas, and the . other at Ballymena, a single fact relating to which would perhaps suffice to show the importance of bestowing some more particular attention to this subject thou had hitherto been given to it. These two schools had between them hinds amounting to 1,4651. aanuaily, and the number of scholars educated in them was, lite at Naven, and fifty at Ballyroon. There were also reported on, a number of schools, called English school.., which were for the purpose of teschiug the English language, having among them an amount of funds vastly dispropurtioned to the number of persons taught in them. A circumstance relating to the funds of some of these establishments was mentioned in the Report of the Commissioners, of which some further notice ehould be taken. The Commissioners stated, •• the money belonging to them is too often vested in private securities, to the evident hazard of its entire loss, and we have fuuud also that when such money has been invested in Government securities the names of individuals have been used instead of those of the several trusts or corporations to which the properties be longed." Besides the schools which he had enu merated there were others, which were more partfr cularly intended for the education of the lower classes. The first of these were the Incorporated Charter Schools, which were thirty-utile iu num ber ; .they received from the public purse. by a Tote of Parliament, 29,2831. annually, which, with other funds belougeng to them in Le land, mole their annual income to amount to 40,183/. The Right Honourable Gentleman then proceeded to remade upon the disproportion of the number of scholars educated at these schools, to the amount of their means, which lie traced to se- ' vend causes, but chiefly to the system of proselytism on which the Protestant chartered school* proceed ed, which naturally operated to impede every effort to promote the education of the children of the Lowe* orders, the far greater number of which were Ro man Catholics. Nu man, he said, could doubt that 40.0001. a year, if applied ou liberal and ra tional principles, would afford the means of educe tam to nearly the entire population of Ireland. The Blue Coat School educated 130 scholars, at an ex pense of 241. each scholar per annum. The num ber of children received into the Foundling Hos pital averaged 2,000 annually, of which the pro porno's educated was about 400, the funds of the 'Hospital amounting to 32,1 , 254 annually. Wilson's Hospital supported some old men, and educated 107 buys, the annual income being 3,0001. The !nutrition School for soldiers' chit - doers had au anima I revenue of 9,0654., and the cioldren amount ed to boo. The Hiberutan Amine School had funds to the amount of 2,1971. In addition to these there were 33 endowed Classical Schools, whose united income was 9,0001., which educated 1,000 whirlers. Exclusive of the parish schools iu the city of Dublin, and of the other schools in diffirent pl.rcrs, sup ported by private endowment, there were 44 public , establishments for the education of the lower classes, in which upward. of 4,200 (+Athos were tuainteimd, clothed, and .eduret . ed. et as exposers of 70.000fs lodepeudent of charitable institutions. it appeared by returns made fret" Seventeen out of tomsty-two dimes.", that there 1011• R is these eseststereal dio ceses 3.7dt 'wheel! unpaid oyee the country s in which were educatid 163,167 perms, of which ijitt mas ters «ere Protesteiria. educating 45,190; mod 8,46 were Cathiilics, educating 116,977 o f theirsesepecti ve ; rersua•ions.

The proposal to which he bad alluded was, that the clergy of the Established Church should he rated at two per sent. on the amount of their income, to be aster- Mined by the Bishops, end the lay improprintors in • similar 'proportion on the amount of their tithes, mad that the fund Ise derived should be appro priated to the maintenance of schoolmasters.

In proposiiig to refer the papers for which he moved to a Com mittee, which it was his intention to do at an early period of the next Session, he begged it might nut be supposed that he intended to recommend any course frounded on his own opinion, hut that he ea. merely acting upon en important suggestion of the Commissioner,. He concluded by moving for au account of the funds wild resources of all schools of public or charitable foundatiuss in Ireland, as far as they have been reported to the Commissiosiere appointed to inquire ink, the same, distinguishing the sources from which they are derived, and the number of *cholera educated in each. Mr. C. GRANT expressed Iris doubts as to the possibility of adopting any general plan of educe 11011 for the poor of Ireland ; but be assured the House that the Government were anxious to intro duce the iuiprovements recommended by the Com missioners, and had actually done so in ill instances whew the opportunity had occurred. TO what extent they had succeeded, he was not then pre pared to state. The Commissioners had made a return to the Government last year, from which it appeared that their Idioms were impeded by cer tain' obstacles, and he had a Bill in prepnration for the removal of those obstacles. The Board of Education was unfortunately constructed, consist ing chiefly of persons employed in the professions of the church and the law. whose business pre vented their ef f iciency. He defended the manage ment of the institutions which were immediately under the control of Government. He preferred the present plan of the Government in fostering charitable establishments for education, to the danger of innovation by carrying into immediate effect any general plan of education. Sir H . PARNELL admitted that there had been difficulties in the way of *denting a general plea of education in Ireland, on account of the reli gious disunion of the people. But those difficulties were done away. The Catholics, having now sio longer any dread of the practice of proselytism, concurred in the desire of seeing the poor generally educated. • Mr. S. Rice commented on the usefulness of education among the lower classes, and the abuse of the charitable funds appointed for education in Ireland. He quoted the Act of 2$ Henry VIII.. which requires every clergyman inducted into a living to set up • school for the instruction of the poor. There were in Ireland 1,125 benefices ; of these only 736 had made any return to the Com missioners when called on to do so, sad of the 736, it appeared that only 549 had parochial schools. The Act of Henry VIII. was confirmed by a similar one in the reign of Elisabeth. He ad mitted that there were obstacles in the way of establishing any general plan of education ; but never was there I period more auspicious for over coming those difficulties, and settling all differ slices, than under the mild and sensibk administra tion of the Right Hon. Gentleman. He denied that the Catholics had arty objection or hostility to a plan of general education. Mr. C. GRANT explained. Mr. W. COURTINAT expatiated on the bene ficial consequences of educating the poor—anal asserted the great willingness of Government, and especially of His Right Hon.

'Pie result might prove a r..reat raving of trouble to the Government, especially it time Committee should be enabled to light on any plan for carrying into effect the Re port of the Couuniseioners. At present he thought it was tustaest that the funds for the aducatso of the taw to Ireland were enormous, while the practical good, the instruction of the people, was exceedingly small. The motion was agreed to. Sir H. PARNELL /nosed for a statement, shear tug to what degree the improvements recommended by the Commissioners bad been carried into effect. —Ordered. Mr. H.
