The public cannot but sympathise with the vigorousefforts now being made by the Society to save the lives of Ship wrecked Crews. Their help was never more needed than at the present time, when, through the extraordinary exertions the Society has made within the past few years, it has now One Hundred and Twenty-one Life-boats under its man agement, for the maintenance of which, in a state of thorough efficiency, a large permanent annual income is absolutely needed, if its humane mission is to be perpetuated.

By P. B. COURTENAY, M.R.C.S.E., And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the Cure of Strictures of the Urethra. " This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be four d in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—liledical Circular.

"Mr. Kent has undeniable merits —warm and high-toned feeling, a pleasant combination of grace and huntour, and no small power to individualise. ' Pope at Twickenham' is a cabinet picture. ' Marianne' will commend itself to all mothers by its gush of parental tenderness, and its acquaint ance with baby wiles and mysteries. ' Fructidors ohms what Dutch fidelity of Word painting the author can master when he tries. His fruit is as vivid and well characterised as if Lance had painted it."—Atheneum. "The charm of Mr. Kent's poetry, as it is the first condi tion of success to all poets, is that he is in sympathy with his subject and not only with himself ; that he is truly poet and not egotist Hitt it is by no means his only merit. Be is a mas ter of Versification. The flow Of his verse is smooth and me lodious, and enriched with s a copious and ornate vocabulary. `Shelley at Marlow' is a painting exquisitely delicate. The vision of Shelley with which Mr. Kent presents us is almost perfect. 'DREAMLAND i scholarly conceived in a noble spirit, and executed with taste, frequently with flashes of true poetic inspiration. • the Dying Bridegroom' is distinguished by a gen u i ne pat h os, which leads us to be lieve that Mr. Kent would succeed eminently in some story Of the affections."—The London Review. "Mr. Kent's poems come before the world with the advan tage, not only of an author's name, but of a name already agreeably and musically known in the metrical literature of the day. His 'Aletheia' was very favourably received by the public, and has no doubt been the companion of many thoughtful readers who will gladly welcome another volume from his pen. A series of portraits drawn with true poetic sympathy and veneration, The best of all, we think, is that of Scott, There is something in the lines that will remind the reader of the chime of Scott's own verse."—John Bull. " Verses, many of them extremely tender and harmonious, and all indicating a mind carefully cultured and imbued with elegant tastes."—Daily News. "Poems of very considerable excellence. ' Fructidor 'is a very close and vigorous word-painting of an orchard. Mr. Kent's volume is healthy and vigorous in sentiment, correct in composition, and contains many happy to of true fancy, very gracefully expressed."—The "The pictures Mr. Kent makes are carefully drawn and effectively coloured. His work is on the whole in good taste. It possesses the undeniable, yet, in these days, rare merit of intelligibility, and is, moreover, very readable."—The Art- World. "We like some of Mr. Kent's minor poems even better than `Dreamland.' He is a real poet, unquestionably, and often versifies with extreme felicity. Of his poetic power the • Monody on Lord Strangford ' affords ample proof ; while his capacity to make word-music is shown in ' The Morris Dancers.' "—The Press. ALETHEIA ; OR, THE DooM OF MYTHOLOGY.

MARK'S HOSPITAL f or FISTULA and other DISEASES of the RECTUM, City-road, EX- - The cominitteo most earnestly APPEAL to a benevolent public in behalf of this much-required and truly serviceable charity. The appalling suffering it has so efficiently admi nistered to is matter of hear y congratulation ; while the estimation in which it is held by the recipients may be in ferred from the fact that £7s6 14s.—collected in the most trivial amounts—has, since the foundation of the hospital, been contributed by the relieved patients and their friends. The afflicted poor too often endure these miseries in secret and silent sorrow ignorant ignorant, perhaps, where relief may be ob tained. St. Mark's Hospital affords an asylum under their suffering, but it is painful t knoW hoW large a number arc denied the benefits the charity should afford solely for the want of funds. The committee feel assured that the publica tion of this fact Will at once ensure the charitable assistance of all who have the will and the power to do good. MEASIJR ER.

To-day, too, was a fete, and to-morrow we are to have another. His Majesty has found the true road to the hearts of the Neapolitans, for there is not a greater fete-loving people in Europe; and I could wish it were not so for the sake of their own progress, Nevertheless, as the taste depends some what on a certain perception and appreciation of the beautiful, I suppose we must treat it moderately. Though it was not before midnight that the King retired, after an anxious and fatiguing day on Mon day, he was on the stairs of his palace at half-past five o'clock the following morning en route to the stables. No person had risen, and the King caught all his subjects napping. During the morning he received the various authorities, and in the after noon drove with his suite through the Riviere di Chiaja. In the evening his Majesty honoured 90 persons by receiving them at dinner, and among them were the French admirals and their staff, and the captains of the French and the British fleets. Then came another brilliant spectacle in the even ing, such as the Neapolitans know so well how to get up. San Carlo was illuminated, and all Naples assembled in one of the largest and most beautiful theatres of Europe to welcome their King. If you have never seen it, you can with difficulty conceive the splendour of the scene. Light is above and around you; you are enveloped by an atmosphere of light; and all this, united with elegant toilettes and flashing diamonds, makes a gala night at San Carlo a very grand and- unique affair. Last night it was crowded, densely crowded from top to bot tom. Taking in the " gods," there are 181 boxes, every one of which was filled to suffocation, and the pit yet more so. Great numbers were unable to obtain tickets, and in the morning one or two precious admissions were being sold for 60 ducats —a great price in Naples. As the King was the " one thought and expecta tion," no one took his place, but turning his back to the stage, gazed eagerly on the Royal box, About nine o'clock his Majesty made his appearance, which was the signal for universal and immense applause. All stood up, and while the ladies waved their handkerchiefs, the whole assembly clapped their hands and shouted as with one voice " Viva it Re !" " Viva Vittorio Emmanuel(' Re d'ltalia Unita !" Again, and again, and again, " Viva it Ro d'ltalia Unita !" It was a mighty expression of feeling and resolution from a select assembly, and his Majesty, coming to the front of the royal box, bowed re peatedly, and was evidently highly gratified. How, indeed, it could have been otherwise, the more so that it has been insinuated within the last month to the King by Italians of the consorteria that he would not be well received in Naples ? The illusion and delusion have, however, been dispelled, and a people evidently monarchical have declared that they will have their King, and none other then Victor Emmanuel, As soon as tranquillity was somewhat restored, theßoyal Hymn was performed by a full band, and enthusiastic Vivas followed, Then was executed by the entire orchestra and vocal force of the theatre " A Hymn to Victor Em manuel," composed expressly for the occasion. The words were by the celebrated Italian poetess, Ma dame Mancini, wife of the late Minister of Public Instruction, and the music by Cavalier° Vincenzo Capecelatto. If I were disposed to be hypercriti cal, I should express my regret that the voices were not more worthy of the occasion and the music, but this is not a time for too close criticism. Both words and music were worthy of the distinguished writers, and were received with great enthusiasm, especially all allusions to Rome and Venice : " Star of Savoy ! Advance thy course, Destined to be the saviour Of Itoina and Venice. Come the day I the glory I When thou shalt hold The throne of the Ctosars On the Campidoglio ; First to defend The sacred altar." Here all the people rose and shouted with one voice, and then, turning to the royal box, seemed to call upon the King to respond to the appeal. His Majesty came forward, and, bowing repeatedly, pledged himself in the face of his Neapolitan people. A beautiful effect was given to the conclu sion of the hymn. As if by magic a large white cross appeared at the back of the stage, brilliantly illuminated, and numbers of tricoloured flags were lifted up and waved beneath it. The regular per formance of the evening then began, and it is for tunate that the King's taste leads him to prefer the ballet, for the voices are most indifferent, to say the least. At the conclusion his Majesty again pre sented himself in front of the box, and, bowing to the audience, retired amid the most enthusiastic ap plause. In the royal box were General Della Mar mora, the Scyndic, Rattazzi, Persano, and Captain Codd, of the James Watt, with others. In the boxes on the right and left were officers of both fleets, French and English ; and in other parts of the house boxes were allotted to the officers of the foreign navies. As soon as the King left I went into the streets and found the city brilliantly illu minated, and crowded as on the night before. The people moved about en masse, without the slightest disorder, and I have not to record an accident, or anything to censure or regret. The lower classes, too, got up their demonstration, for a decree had been published in the morning re deeming all pledges below three ducats. I think the sum must be considerable, as I know that great numbers, in expectation of a visit from Garibaldi or the King, have for the last three months been filling the pawnbrokers' shops. Now, only royalty could have accorded such a boon, or any boon; and, supposing Garibaldi had come, what disappoint ment would have followed, and how would his great and inestimable prestige have been destroyed among these hungry expectants ? Two other well-timed decrees have also appeared this morning, granting an amnesty for all offences of the press, and to all the members of the NA tional Guard for " contraventions against disci pline." These are wise measures, as the first is a very popular and politic one, and loyalty is now the fashion and the sentiment among all classes. But, setting aside such trifles as these, a man must be morally blind not to perceive the in finite contrast which exists between the principles of the past and the present Governments—the Govern ment of the Bourbons sitting like a nightmare on the people, oppressing, crossing, tormenting; that of Victor Emmanuel seeking to develope, amidst great struggles and difficulties, all that can render a man or a nation respectable and prosperous. It is a cruel and a vicious policy which seeks to throw ob• stacles in the way of such a G overnment, an d any Power that continues to do so may well be ranked not merely as the enemy of Italian consolidation and progress, but as the enemy of civilisation. I must not omit, in speaking of the fetes of this week, to advert again to the part which our fleet took, and to the cordial manner in which our officers have been treated by the authorities and by his Majesty. Nothing could have been more beautiful than the appearance which our ships presented as the Royal vessel entered the Bay. Dressed all in white, our brave tars, as I said yeste r d ay, clustered round the masts like gulls, and gave a right good English cheer as the King passed. The Maria Adelaide, with a marked courtesy, was steered near each vessel, moving slowly past, the King returning the hearty salutes which he received. I n d ee d, hi s Ma jesty was pleased to thank Capt. Codd, expressing his admiration of the beautiful appearance of the gratification and surprise at vessel, and his especial seeing a man mounted on the truck of the Algiers waving a flag as the Royal Vessel passed. At the reception, too, in the afternoon, at the dinner yes terday, and at the opera, the attentions which were bestowed on our officers, and on Captain Codd in particular, were most marked ; and those attentions were not merely such as official etiquette prescribes, but most cordial, expressive of the deep sentiments which the King entertains for the warm and un varying sympathy which the treeest people and the frcecst Government in the world have awarded to the Italians. From all parts of the neighbourhood we receive reports of public rejoicings; they were not confined to the city, but every town and village took its part, and shared in the general enthusiasm; and Europe has now its answer as to what the sentiments of Southern Italians are. Rd LE WA Y 1N.7 ELLIGENCE. NORTH BRITISH RAIL WAY COMPANY. On Saturday, at noon, a special meeting of the proprietors of the North British Railway Company was held in the company's office, Princes-street, for the purpose of considering, and if thought desirable approving of, various bills now pending before Parliament. Mr. Hodgson, M.P., chairman of the company, presided. The CHAIRMAN said there were six bills named in the notice calling the meeting, four of which were ready for the assent of the sharcholder,having been read a third time in the House of Commons, There was Ist, A bill to authorise a lease of the Port-Glasgow Dock and Railway Company to the North British Railway Company 2. A bill to authorise a lease of the Carlisle and Salloth Bay Railway and Dock Company to the North British Company. 3. The Monkton hall, and Ormiston, and Dalkeith Branches Bill; and lastly, a bill for making a railway from the Leadburn station to the parish of Linton in the county of Peebles. The company were interested in the latter bill to the extent that they had entered into an agreement with the Peebles Company to work the line on certain term, and being under an obligation in consequence of this, the bill required the assent of the shareholders to its further pro gress. The last bill mentioned in the notice re ferred to the Berwick Railway, which was promoted by an independent company, to which the North British had agreed to subscribe £50,000. That bill had not been read a third time, in consequence of the desire of the committee to comply with the petition of Mr. Tod, of Drogrange, who prayed that a deviation of the line through his property might be constructed by the company in lieu of the plan proposed in the bill. The Direc tors had no objection to make the deviation, bat it would cost £3,000 or £4,000. The bill was not yet ready for the assent of the shareholders. The bill for the amalgamation of the Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee Railway, with the North British and the West of Fife Railway and Harbour Company, was not yet through the Committee of the House o, Commons, and its consideration would, therefore, require to be adjourned. After referring to an arrangement as to tolls on the• Monktonhall and Ormiston and Dalkeith Branch Bill, whereby they had obviated opposition to the bill by agreeing to give to the opposing parties £lOO a year each in respect of their tolls, he said he was in hope that by this time he would have been able to congratulate the shareholders on the completion of the line between Hawick and Carlisle. The Bor der Counties line, from Hexham to Riccarton to where it joined the Border Union, was now com pleted, and would soon be ready for traffic, and the line from Riccarton to Newcastle, which would complete the communication between Riccarton and Carlisle was now to be inspected to-day. The line from Canonby to the junction of the Border Union had been inspected, and would be opened on Mon day for public traffic. When the line from Riccar ton to Newcastle should be opened, there was only the intervening link between Riccarton and Hawick to be completed, and if the weather held good it would only be days instead of weeks, and - thin the whole system of the Border Union and the Border Counties would be completed. He concluded by moving the approval of the four bills, which re quired the sanction of the shareholders. The motion was adopted unanimously. Mr. FILDES, Manchester, after stating what bad occurred in the House of Commons with reference to the loss of the Dunfermline Railway Bill, in quired whether the parliamentary agents, by whose fault that bill was lost, were still employed as the parliamentary agents of the company ? The CHAIRMAN explained that the agents of the company were not so much to blame as was sup posed by the shareholders, as they were not aware of the fact that the previous bill had been thrown out in consequence of the bill not containing the notice which the bill of this session was without. Their parliamentary agents were men of the highest character and eminence in their profession. Mr. FILDES expressed his satisfaction with the statements of the chairman. The CHAIRMAN then explained the arrangements as to cheap return tickets to London were at present confined to Edinburgh, but they hoped to be enabled to make arrangements with the other companies whereby those residing in the districts through which the North British Railway passed would be able to avail themselves of these cheap return tickets in the same way as from Edinburgh. A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the proceedings. JILTED .TEWRSS'S REVENGE. At the Liverpool Police Court, on Friday, Miss Frances Hawley, a young Jewess, was charged with assaulting a young man, named Phillips, who also belongs to the Jewish persuasion. The complainant stated that on the night of the 25th ult. he was walking along the street with a Miss Roberts on his arm, when he was stopped by the defendant, who asked him for the 2s. he owed her. Whilst ho had his hand in his pocket getting the money, she stauck him violently in the face. He cried out, " Fanny, Fanny, what are youabout ? but the only response he got was another blow on the head ; his:hat was knocked off, and the defendant danced upon it. (Laughter). Miss Roberts tried to get him away, but he was followed by the defendant, who struck him several blows. He got into a cab, but Mis Hawley leaped into the vehicle after him, and again " pumelled" him severely in the face and stomach. In the scuffle she seized him by his overcoat, which the complainant exhibited amidst much laughter, to the court, pointing nut th. One " rents" it had sustained. At last, with the assistance of two cabmen, the defendant was held whilst the complainant and Miss Roberts drove off. They bad not, however, got far before Miss Hawley overtook the cab, when she jumped upon the step, and, said the complainant, " She called me a thief and a villain, and everything but a gentleman." (Roars of laughter.) In cross-examination by Mr. Cobb, the complainant said he bad known the de fendant for 12 months, but he did not promise to make her "Mrs. Phillips." (Renewed laughter.) He was not going to marry Mi ss R o berts. (Latqh .. ter.) He did not try to shirk the defendant in Dvilit; street, and say, " I have had enough of her M denied having deceived the defendant. Cobb — If she were to allow you to fondle hereagein would you not withdraw this charg e ?—Com plainant—No, I would not. (Laughter.) Miss Roberts was called to support e u x the e comp l ainant attacked case. The defendant, she said, when the complainant, shouted t hat revenge upon him,—Mr. that bb sh e e ros w s! ld cross-examined her u le witness, with the view of showing she (Mi ss Roberts ' ) was the , c young flame, whilst the defen dant was the " old flame ;" but the witness did not pretend to understand the delicate suggeition.

SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE GRAND TRUNK OF CANADA RAILWAY.--By the Royal Mail steamer Hiber nian, whic h arri ved in Liverpool on Saturday, from Port land, we learn that the heavy freshets in Upper Canada, ca used by the sudden melting of large quantities of snow, had carried away the entire track of the Grand Trunk Railway in many places. The aggregate length of all the portions carried away extends, it is said, to about 12 miles. The mails and pamigena had to be carried across the breaks canoes. BANK RET URNS.

The Racoon, 22, 1,461 tons, 400 horse power, un• dor s tA. B sot.. oirtencive repairs at Chatham dock yard, has now about 200 hands employed 1111 hvr. The whole of her copper and a great deal of her planking have been stripped off, in order that her defective and decayed timbers may be removed. With the view of strengthening her new keys have been placed beneath each of her beams, and new bolts added throughout. According to present arrangements she will be masted and rigged in the dock in which she at present lies, a pair of shears being erected by the side of the dock to enable the operation of masting to be performed. The repairs to be effected will occupy three months, but every exertion is to be used to have the Racoon ready for sea by the end of July, when she will be commissioned by Capt. his Serene Highness the Prince of Leiningen for a short cruise to the Medi terranean. The screw steam sloop Chanticleer, 17, Com mander Charles Stirling, left Plymouth Sound, under canvas, on Friday morning, for Portland. The screw steam ship St. George, 89, Capt. the Hon. F. Egerton, left in the afternoon for the same destination. They were followed by the screw steam frigate Emerald, 51, Capt, A. Cumming. It is reported at Plymouth that these ships will ren dezvous at Leith before proceeding into the Baltic. Capt. Erasmus Ommanney, R.N. proceeded to Gibraltar by the Mooltan, from Southampton, to relieve Capt. F. Warden, C. 8., as senior naval officer on that station. THE ARMY.

THE REVISED CODE. The Earl of DERBY presented petitions from differen places in Yorkshire against the latest edition of the Ptio• vised Code. THE RIVER SHANNON. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE, who had a motion on the paper for the appointment of a select committee to inquire into the causes of the great and frequent inundation of the river Shannon and its tributaries, said he was com pelled to postpone bringing forward the subject until that day week, DECLARATION OF TITLE 13ILL. Lord CRANWORVI moved the third reading of this bill, the object of which-wasAo enable parties to go before the Court of Chance?y tal - ms.he a declaration that they had a perfectly good title to certain property, and, having made the declaration, that they might then go into the market and sell the land if they felt so disposed. The bill created no new tribunal, neither did it involve any expense ; and as it was founded on the principle of the Encumbered Estates Court in Ireland, which had worked so well, he thought it desirable that that system should be introduced into this country. The bill could do no harm, but in his opinion it was calculated to do a very great deal of good, especially as it was founded on the system which had been in existence in Ireland for the last 14 years. Lord CHELMSFORD explained his reasons for agree ing to the bill which differed so essentially from the one he had introduced, The bill was then read a third time and passed. SECURITY OF PURCHASERS .BILL. Lord CRANWORTH moved the third reading of this bill, which was for registering the declarations made under the bill their lordships had just agreed to. After a few words from Lord ST. LEONARDS, the bill was read a third time and passed. TRANSFER OF LAND BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR. moved the third reading of this bill. Lord ST. LEONARDS said he looked upon the bill as one for the general registry of all assurances, a proposal which the select committee had been unanimous in con demning. The measure would call for the establishment of a new tribunal to be called a registrar's court, and the ex penses of registrar and clerks followed as a necessary come. quence. After some discussion, the bill was read a third time and passed. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—YESTERDAY. The SrziKER took the chair at four o'clock. NEW MEMBER.

The Deaf and Dumb Poor Asylum Bill, Bent Water Bill, and Ventnor Harbour Bill were read a second time. PETITIONS. Several petitions were presented against the law relating to the licensing public-houses (Scotland) Bill; against the parochial assessment bill; from the inhabitants of South ampton for a ;more equitable adjustment of the income tax; by Mr. Horsfall against the modified Revised Code of Education; in favour of the public-houses licensing (Scot land) Bill; against the. zraut— to Xaynooth ; against so much of the Revised' Code as related to certificated teachers ; in favour of an alteration in the oath taken by Roman Catholics ; in favour of the Merchant Shipping Act; against the Thames Embankment bill, &c.

THE LATE MURDER IN TIPPERARY. Mr. SCULLY gave notice that on Thursday next he would ask a question of the Chief Secretary for Ireland, whether he had received any official notification of the mur der that had been recently committed in Tipperary. He observed that he was informed that the murder, which was committed within three miles of one police station, was not communicated to another police station in the neighbour hood until the following morning, THE HOSTILITIES WITH PERSIA. Mr. GRIFFITH gave notice that he would to-morrow ask a question as to whether any attempt had been made to induce the Government of this country to take a part in these hostilities. COUNTY INFIRMARIES, &e. (IRELAND). Capt. STACPOOLE asked the Chief Secretary for Ire land when the returns relating to county infirmaries and fever hospitals (Ireland), ordered on the 26th July, 1861, and 28th February, 1862, would be laid upon the table. Sir R. PEEL was understood to say that the documents in question were not yet completed, but they would shortly be submitted to the house. VOLUNIEER CORPS DRILL INSTUCTORS. Mr. GRIFFITH asked the Socretary of State for War whether he was aware that the drill instructors appointed to volunteer corps by the War-office were not contented with the pay they:received from the War-office, but required pay in addition from the volunteers ; and whether such proceeding was in accordance with the intention of the War-office ; and, if not, whether the Government would prevent its occurrence, either by prohibiting the drill in structors from making any demand on the volunteers, or in any other way. Sir G. LEWIS said that those instructors who had pen sions received the same pay as sergeants of militia, namely, 2s. 4d. a day, and those who had not pensions received 2s. 7d. a day. With regard to the last question, the matter rested entirely with the volunteers, and the War - da ce bad only a few communications on the subject. THE REVISED CODE OF EDUCATION. The house went into committee on the Revised Co d e. duty f a lt Mr. WALPOLE said that he had to discharg e ai • was which would be at once agreeable and P ent controversy agreeable, because ho hoped that the p resent buti however far the Govern_ be terminated to a considerable extent;A was would because he believed that, painful, mont would go in adopting alterations in the R e .. vised Code, they would disappoint some persons. The Vice-President of tho Board of Education had in the most frank, and he need not say in the most able MA 71 T 1 Ar. announced the modifications which the Govern ment had determined on adopting in the itevi se d c ouc , which were important in their character, very extensive in their operation, and, be must add, highly conciliatory to the tone and temper of the house and country. He thought the Government should be met in the same spirit, and he a d v ised Parliament to accept the Revised C o d e w ith th ose alterations, although some doubts might exist as to par ticular portions of the code even in its modified form. He thought it right, however, while he abandoned opposition to the code, in Which some of his resolutions had been introduced to make some observations which he thought were not uncalled for. He had received some communica tions during the Easter recess relative to the principal points of the Code. In the first place it appeared that the certifi cated teachers did not think they were justly treated, and strong objections were entertained respecting all the grants under the existing system being converted into capitation grants. Some of the masters in question contended that they were badly treated, because, on the faith of the Government grant, they had effected insurances on their lives, which they would not be able to continue under the proposed alteration which deprived them of all security. He did not think that in reality there would be any injus- tice inflicted en the body alluded to. It was also said that the Revised Code would be worse than tho system it pro posed to supersede; but, as ho did not take that objection in the first instance, he was not prepared to do so at present. The right honourable gentle man then went in detail through the alterations which ho had embodied in his resolutions, and which the Government had virtually adopted, and he vindicated them at some length. He contended that they ought not to adopt as correct the objections to which he had adverted, but at the same time he impressed on Government the ad visability of limiting the code to a period of two years, when its operation would be sufficiently tested. He could not accept th e code as a final settlement of the education question until it was ascer tained whether it met the requirements of the coun try. The right hon. gentleman said that, of course, he would not move his resolutions, but would merely move the first as a matter of form, in order to enable hon. members to express their opinions on this important subject, Mr. PULLER asked whether it was intended by G o .. vernment that tAe wagers of laelloav might preseUt otly E ISTS _PA 1 1 "rn c3t.,.. ail I\ . 3 7 /s child under the standard for priOntitto f tV ; Z: o ception to different points in ti.Ae,codpOir tt ' 4 jetted to the reducti on i n then ikmbFioffll:4-m contended was not c a l cu l a t e d 'to 4teeittp:AfEialtr4 national education. b Mr. HENLEY also object e d to th e' od • detail, and said that the language used in that document, so regarded the tabulated matter, realised what Tal leyrand had said as to language being intended to conceal our thoughts, or it was unintelligible to any' ordinary Christian. (Laughter.) Had the code remained as it originally stood, he should have felt bound to offer it the strongest opposition, and he consured very severely the difference which had been made in it between religious and secular education, but at the same time he gave the Govern ment credit for the course which they had pursued in refe rence to a subject of such gravity, and one on which such diversity of opinion might be expected to exist, as that of national edne,tion. (Hear, hear.) Mr. KINNAIRD dwelt upon the position of tho certi ficated masters, towards whom, he argued, something very like a breach of trust had been practised. Lord ENFIELD was of opinion that the compromise entered into between the Govornment and the opponents of the Revised Code was fair and just. Mr. NEWDEGATE ex p resse d his apprehension that ilianyscteols i n th e p oorer di s t r i c t s won! , l be closed, If this s h ould prove to be the case he hoped that seine int„ans would be devised of removing so grievous a blot from the system. last classes speaker, said would that, be abloMr. DILLW YN, referring to the objection taken by the in nh to his op c i o n m io p n l , y th w e ith chi t l h di e •en reci of ui t r h e e better - ments of the Modified Code, both as to attendance and exa mination, but that the children of the poorer classes would not be able to do so. The evil might, in some degree, be met by confining the education given by the State to ele mentary instruction. Sir I. PAKINGTON, while acquiescing in the course proposed to be adopted, was not disposed to consider the concessions except in the light of an experiment. The great and striking defect of the scheme as now submitted was, that it made no provision Thatever for the wants of a largo portion of the working ciasies. Lord It. CECIL was of opinion that the system would not be productive of advantage to the poorer parishes, and that in this respect the amended scheme would not have the advantages of the original one. The real evil which ho predicted from the alterations was the blow which would be struck at the managers of schools, who ho feared had ceased to entertain confidence in the Government. The debate was continued by Mr. PEASE and Mr. AD DERLEY, the latter expressing his approval of the course adopted by Mr. Walpole, and his belief that the conces sions made by the Government would not only carry out the objects they had in view, but also satisfy the opponents of the scheme.. Mr. LOWE, in replying to various objections, said that he should be acting wrongly if he declined to accept what the house was willing to give, simply because he might hope to get something better under other circumstances on a future occasion. He declared that he had no wish to supersede - religious instruction, and believed that the code would be found to work well. It would be presumptuous in him, however, to regard the scheme as final ; but there were two points which he hoped the house would never concede, and which he had abandoned all other features of the plan to retain. They were, that in all finanoial matters the Privy Council should deal with managers alone, and that a portion of the grant shculd depend upon an examina tion of the children. In conclusion, the right hon. gentle man congratulated Mr. Walpole upon having so completely succeeded in his object, and behaved in the hour of triumph with such rare candour and moderation, The motion was then withdrawn. Mr. WALTER moved the following resolntion :--" That to require the employment of certificated masts and pupil teachers by managers of schools, as an ludispensable con dition of their participation in the PArliamentary grant, is iaexpedient and inconsistent with the principle of payment for results which forms the basis of the revised code." Mr. THOMPSON seconded the motion, which was also supported by Sir S. NORTHCOTE, on the ground that ho desired to see thet b system of education extended, and the advantage of it given to a class of schools which had hitherto been deprived of it. If the house came to some general resolution that the principles of the code were principles which demanded an approach to freedom of trade in the matter of masters it would be taking a very important step. Mr. ADDERLEY opposed the motion, believing that its effect would be to abolish training schools, which must be maintained if the existing system of national education was to continue. It was in truth an attack upon the certi ficated masters. Mr. DEEDES believed there were many instances inn which schools might be conducted in a perfectly satisfactory manner without the necessity of having recourse to certifi cated masters. Ho should, therefore vote for the resolution, wishing to establish the principle that whilst on the one hand they preserved the advantages which those masters had given to the general system of education, on the other hand participation in the public grant should be Allowed to schools that might be properly conducted by uncertilficatea mastore. Mr. HENLEY also spoke in favour of the motion. Mr. LOWE argued that if the proposal were adopted the result would be to substitute for the existing system the imperfect security of an examination that would no longer be so stringent and searching as it had hithertobeen. They would thus admit 15,000 and 16,000 schools and upwards of 650,000 children more to share in the capitation grant. He opposed the resolution, then, by reason of the enormous expenditure it would involve without taking adequate secu riiy for an efficient examination, break down the standard of education by certificated masters, and strike a fatal blow at the training colleges. Mr. WALTER having amended his resolution by striking out the words "pupil-teachers," the committee divided, and the resolution was negatived by 163 to 156. Mr. BAINES proposed a resolution to the effect, that, in order to prevent an unnecessary expenditure of public money it was expedient that the managers of a school, be fore receiving capitation money from the committee of the Privy Council, should satisfy the inspector that the cir cumstances of the parents, on behalf of whose children suck capitation grant is made, are such as to require public assistance for the education of their children. • Mr. BARROW seconded the motion, which he believed would restore the national school to what it was designed to be in the first instance ; for at present the children of the working classes were elbowed out of those schools by the , children of the middle classes and others who were able try pay for their instruction.' Lord J. MANNERS opposed the res olution, on the ground that it would place serious iropedioen ta in th e way of the managers of schools. After some discussion, in which Mr. Barnes, Mr, Hardy, and Mr. Lowe took part, The motion was negatived without a division. A second resolation, proposed by Mr. BAINES, assert. ing that it was unnec essar y and inex p ed ient to grant public money for the maintenance of eveni ng schools, was also rejected.3ir. H. It.
