The attention of his Majesty's Govern , meat would be given to the anbjed early in the next Sesi>iph, when a Committee up stairs may inquire into the arrangements which it may be proper tirtally to adopt.

M.

He - also was fear - 1 - 111 of the tzl etieCta of excessive cduettion.' Mr. war acted the Preamble, and :/ the principle. of,, gibing education, He was sorry that in a .mind so enlightened as that,of his Right Hon. Friend, there should be a speck so dark as the hostility he. professed: 16 . general ednaation. He ' Commented largely . on the inconsistency of a person so learned and enlightened: entertaining and uttering sentiments so averse to the dittitsion of krinwledge— Sentiments which were, fad, lust .the same as those put into the fiftieth of Jack Cade by Shakspeare. There had been lamentably a •previous instance of , that inconsistency, in , his Right Hon. Friend's Iros the abolition of the Slave Trade. It:kit:s6°n would each men to know their duties, and to perform the M----to /MOW their rights, and to maintain therti. Paili'arbent must know, and ought' nut to refuse to aCknowledge the happy effects. of eduCation in Scot land. Yrevfous to the system of education in Scot lanci, the titate,of that Country wag as deplorable as it ..oas .now happy. On these grounds, he would persist in pressing the preamble. Sir THOMAS ruaToti spoke . infavout . of the orris. sign proposed by ML,Carew, and. maintained the shiliCiency of die present .siate. - of voluntary educa tion. The_Mutiny, in the Fleet had been excited by reacting iothonmatorYtra&A. • • MAct.r:op spoke at length on the nature of the education given in Scotland.. This . education was principally of a religions nature. 'With that foundation, reading and writing mast be essentially I beneficial. •, Mr. WINDHAM, in explipation, said he was not hostile tweilneatleti properly understood. -• ' Mr. Rose ! thooght sedition would have less.to work upon, if the people at large knew how to read. Mr. WILBEtiFORCE warmly the.ar- • gutnents of the Lion. Baronqt - (Sir T. Turton), and was sure, , that when he ei;:imincd his prentises more accurately, he would find that they led to con clusions to which he would . by tit) means be willing to assent. What ! was it to be an argument against the cultivation of our faculties, that those faculties might be abused ! If so, then it would be better to extinguish that which he bad ever couc,'ived to be by divine favour the ellara4teristic of human nature, and that Which distinguished ,it brutal. He contended strongly, against • leaving out- either the former or the latter part of the Preamble,. particu larly the former, which con t ained a proposition,. namely, " that the instruction of yoUth tended to morality .and virtue," the omission of which„in his opinion, would be disgratiefill, as after such repeated discussions it would appear as if. the House of Corn- : mons had discov'eredith fallacy. Nor would he be wil ling COgive hp the latter pait of the Preamble, ‘'Vhich reterreci to a ooantry (Scotland) in which the'malti -. plied advantages of education in the improvement of the character of a" peoplo . were 'most apparent. In his eagerness to prevent:other people from learn,. ing to read, the Hon. Baronet seemed, to have ab stained from reading himself; for if he h$ read the' Bill, he would hive perceived that a complete qptlon was given . to the puur whether they would aliuw their children to be instructed or not, . This was a subjett on which he spuke with a confidence which he never, felt when delivering his sentiments Oil po litical (111Q5iiOnii. The diff.irent (=duet of Scollantt. and Ireland under recent circumstances, aud \ the rapidity with which every feeling :approacnittg - 'to disloyalty subsided in the one country, w in the other rebellion burn forth, was a cuavincing•proof of the advantages of education. Sir T.l'uteroty explained. • • Mr.,P. Gtnny replied to, the Hon. Gentleman, and ailiong, 'other statements observed, that in the West of Ireland, where the rebellion raged with the greatest del reo of violence, there .was scatc4.V.tin individual who had not been moderately instructed. who had Pot learned to read and tvfit . e. Mr. LOCKHART and Mr. Du.t.ow defender} - the preamble: • • • - Mr. •CiItATTAN. supported the Bill, and declared that he did not think knewlet"lge.too general, .ev e n among : the -higher orders. He dwelt with great praise on the plata of' Ed'acation in Semiarid, .but' conteudedthat Ireland was by no means an illiterate country, 'especially.the South of it ; he wished, how esPrr, that the benefits of instruction might be more generally .diffused. ' • On the suggestion of the SPaknen, Mr. P; n.,v divided his amendritent. The first 'part . was, that the word " religious" .should precede time word " instruction "in the preamble. • ; Mr. : Ws:matte.% objeeted intrtdatlion, as calculated to give a talse gloss, and to- intimate that it was intended the Parishes should teach oral ly the Catechisni, the Creed, Mr. WILBRItViiiiCE observed, that in his niind "instru4iott," 'and " religious instrnCtien," when applied to.childree, were synoniions' terms.. however, he must vote. for the word ." religions." Mr. SIIRRIDAN remarked, that if thei words of the . Preamble were to bc ,"'thercligious'inStruaion," it would seem, to preeledo any other kind. SPEAKRII , suggested the introduction Of -the .word " in au early part of` the ,preamble, by which the- difficulty would be obviated. The CuA.NCi3I LOit of the' ExcilltQUEß' proposed that the Words 'phOulkl by " the right instrOlien." ag amen dment of • the Ski:A.lOW and, o f lhe enitreeta.oa of the Excl : lii6ll/?At were .aevtorally , Mr, P.

Mr. I 3 101.1114 rpge to make his promisectisno lion for a Bill to Amend the present mode of Deli vering Writs for the Eletaien of Members of the House of CommonC - He ;stated the inconvenien eieslof the present. mode, and lamented, that by re fusing to hear the Messenger of the Great Seal, at the. Bar of the HOuse, lie had,been prevented from prov jug his statements. He deelared, that at every Elee; . Lion, the Messenger received from the Treasury it list' of those to whom they recommended that the Writs should he sent. 'He did not peculiarly charge the prescut Administration with this praaice; it had. h.ten the custom with antecedent Administrations. He hoped, however, that now'the case' was brought before Parliament, they would not obje& to the re medy being applied to it ; and he doubted not 'that he should have the support of all those who were so warm on the sending of a private letter from a Secre-' tary of the Treasury to his friend, in favour of-a :Candidate.: The plan he intended to introduce into his Bill was its folloWs: that the Writs, as soon as issued, should he delivered (sealed) by the Messenger of the Great Seal to the Secretary of the Post (Me,: who .should be enjoined to forward them by the following mail to.the Postmaster of the county town of each county, and who should deliver a receipt for them' to the. Messenger, , The Postmaster of each county town, on the receipt of the Writ, should be . 'enjoined to. inform , the Sheriff of its arrival, arid should return.a receipt to the See retary Of the Post Office. On obtaining information of the 'arrival of the Writ, the Sheriffshould be enjoined instantly to. repair to the'Post-Office, and demand it of the Post master, giving him a receipt. On its delivery. By this plan three points would be gained ; in the.first place, dispatch, for in ffie, days a Writ would reach the inapt distant part of the. Island; in the second place, security,. which would be provided for by the receipts given by the various parties through who: , e hands the Writ 'passed ; and in the last place, and, above all, the utmost facility, would be afforded to dete6tion and remedy, if, either : by . accident or de-, sign, Are Writ' should be diverted from its proper course. With regard to the perquiSites which the - Me4enger of the 'Great Seal had, hitherto received. on the delivery of Writs, he .did not- wish that they ; should be touched during the life of the person who, t at present held that office, for ,two reasons : first; because tthose perquisiteli bed been regulated, 'at 7 'different periods, •by authority ;. and secondly, be.. cause the 'present Officer had rectified many abuses, and. bad not put up the. Writs to a kind of .public aglion, in imitation of his predecessors. Shotil 4 the House give him' leaKe. to bring-in bis Bill, , should move fbrthe'appointmentof a Committee to examine Into the, fees . and 'perquisites ache Messen-, ger of the Great Seal, thr the purpose of intro ducing - a Chaise into the Bill, in or'der •to save i s the present Officer from any loss. After his death, he.was.of ..opinion that their fees and perquisites ,might be abolished : at present they amounted one year with another to abont 5001. a.year. This might be char2, - ed on the:Consolidated Fund, or put on the Sheriff account.

Many of = the Clauses . requirecl' , ,. , modification, and, if his Hen. Friend bad not in timated his intention to" propoie the Aineudments be Was to .move, it would Have been his duty to do So. At the same time, he' must say, that the late. Government would not have taken, upon themselves the responsibility for the state of Ireland : the coutroul of this measure properly moditied.--. For this reason, he should not oppose the Speaker's.' • leaving the Chair. Sir JOHN NEWPORT sal that unless. mans • of the Clauses in the Jill should bd. mitigated, he • could not vote for its passing. The, extreme , se verity of some of them would defeat the end for . which they were designed. He had himself, never seen either this or.the Insurrection Bill, till they had •been before the House. If a Clause were not in" troduced for limiting the duration of the 'Act, he alsould be obliged to resist it in tote. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER . declared, that though the Clause of Limitation had been omitted in the Bill, it had never been the in. 4 tendon of his Right Hon. Friends to make it. per- manent. As to the observation. of the . Hon. Gen tleman opposite (Mr. Herbert), that if the Bill which had been, brought forward last Session bad • passed, this measure would have been unnecessary,. be had only to observe, that the Gentleman who brought that measureforward, had thought this Bill in some shape . necessary. The late Government , Could not undertake the responsibility for the •state' of:lreland' without it. When the situation of the 'Country was "considered, Gentlemen would ' aware of die necessity of making protisiOn. to pre vent improper Persons from collecting a qviantity of • Arms for illegal purposes. The severest ClauSes were those against the clandestine manufacture .of .Arms, partieularly Pikes • and when the House had the authority of those Gentlemen who represented , themselves as unfriendly to measures of pressure, that this Bill was necessary, he was sure they would have, no ditEctilty in passing it. HERseter explained, that he had alluded 1 0 all the Measures for the Relief and the Emancip3- • tion of the Catholics. Mr. Wisotwis agreed with his Hon. Friend , that if the suite of measures to which lie had at hitted bad been adopted, such a course would have yendered any such Act as that before the. House HD." necessary. . Mr. ELLIOTT explained, and, said that he should support the Bilt with proper medification, • Mr. PONSONEY was not satisfied of the neces sity of 'the m easure; and should therefore oppose , its . progtess in every stage. . The House. then reaolved itself into a Committee, : Mr. Hozdotise in the Chair. In the Clause empowering the Magistrates• at the Quarter Sessions to take away the Licences to keeP . Arins, of Persons• whom they might. deem unfit to., he allowed the, possession of Arms, Sir JOHN Peter proposed an Amendment, giving to Persenv who might be qualified by their property to kcCP Arms, .an Appeal from the decision of the AO - . trates to the Lord Lieutenant and Privy Councib:. or to the next going Judge of Assize. A disc?: 'aion took place on this Amendment between JpitX , Newroter, the CHANCELLOR of the . : CHEQUER, Mr-. FOSTER, Mr. DILLON, and: Mk* HERBERT, which ended in the adoption of a sug - . gestimi ,pt' the CHANCELLOR of the ExcitsaVsg., whereby_an Amendment Was Made, giving ae. , 4P'. • peal from the decision of the Sestions of Cities ()!, Towni, to the Sessions of the;County at largeß'sr from one Session .of.a 2 CoUnty. to the next, on' ceeding Session. .• . Anptlier diseussion took place upon the Clan s , B , for 'authorising Magiitrates from dine to time to dm', for au Inventory of the Arms of Persons witon they may suspect of having Atins illegally. Mr. WHITBREAD: contended, . that 'this was power that gave th,e Magistrates the means of ,gtic!l vans oppression of the s‘ibjett, in' calling for an in^ ventOry of his arms from day to day. The Clau s ° was amended on the motion of Mr. Whitbread , sn as to require the Magistrate to cbsinand the hivent or y of arm s by a requisitien, in writing under his nett ~•. and to allow.the party called upon to make atiiilso` of the truth of his inventory, before an yMattistia tt .' of the County in Which the party may reside . --e The speakers were Mr. Whitbread, Lonl B.

The clause was, the authorising Magistrates, those authorised by the warrants of 'Magistrates,:: search for concealed arms.
