THE RIVAL OPERA HOUSES. LUMLEY V WAGNER. Mr. BETHELL (in continuation from our Afternoon E lition)—The Wa , 4n2rs denied that the letter of Dr. Becher of the 10th of March contained any mention of his having the money ready to pay to them. It had bean, unfortunately, found impossible to produce that letter—its loss had been one of the greatest difficulties they had had to contend with. The LORD CHANCELLOR—The letter ought certainly to have been produced, as the defendant denied that it con tained what it was sworn to have contained. I mast certainly take it against those who do not produc e i t. Here is a case where the parties are contradicti ng each other in the flattest way, the Wagners, in fact, charging Dr. Becher with perjury. On that part of the case, there tore, I cannot satisfactorily make up my mind; bet when I look at the documents, which cannot deceive, the com munications which passed between the parties, those I find against you. Not a word is said in the answkr to Lumley about the money, and if Dr. Bacher had not offered to pay the money, Mr. L um l ey ought to have been informed of it. Besides, it appears that Madile. Wagner, by her labours at Berlin, had rendered her self unable to perform her contract. She was not in a fit state to sing. Mr. BETHELL said he scarcely thought the affidavit went to that extent. Leaving that part of the case, the Learned Counsel than proceeded to Fugue that the con tract had been unfairly °trained by Dr. Becher. The LORD CHANCELLOU—DO you SCOUse him of fraud Or IL iSrVprii. , euturu? Mr. BETHELL—Or misrepresentation—of obtaining the contract by stating facts not true. The LJRD CHANCELLOR—That is fraud, Mr. Bethel!. M. ET, :HELL-8J it is, my Lerd, in e certain sense. Tne Loan CHANCELLOR—I think it i 3 trend in every body's see-e. Mr. BETHELL—It was evident, however, from the affi davits that the Wagners were oely induced to sign the engagement by the Inducemects held out by Dr. Bachtr. The LORD CHANCELLOR—I think the letters are against you, Mr. Bethell. While they complain of the restrictive clause, they at the s tale time acquiesce in it, and all that Dr, Becher 'seems to have said was, that when she got to London she sh.culd do as she liked— certainly a very large promise. Mr. BETHELL—Certainly that acquiescence had been ....„ caused by the miirepresentation of Dr.l3acher. In conclusion, he relied for obtaining a dischirge of their ••••••' 4 '4' Order on the inappropriate and unwArranted application of the jurisdiction of the Court by way of injunction. Ho' also relied, though less :trobgly since hearing the rrmarks which hvi fatten from his Lordship, that it was the undoutrted - 4tity-of - Mr. Lumley to have tak en nave ••• that the sum was for , i , arded to' the Wagners in confor mity with the original contract, and on the uccontradicted fact that the mony was not forthcoming till the 15th of April. He would leave the case in this position in the h,..nds of the Curt, being perfectly satisfied that his' Lordship, if he placed himself in the same po sition as Miss Wagner, when eho made the en gagernent with Mr. Gye, wuh the 5,Qa3Gn advanci ng , no money forthcoming from Mr. Lu m l ey, an d no news of him, that she was perfectly justified in treating the contract she hitiri merle with him as at an end, and in entering into a new one more beneficial to he rse lf. It being now 'close nilon three ;.'clock, his Lordship rose to attend a Cabinet Co,uneil, and the further hearing of the canoe was postponed until Wednesday. i,e FRANCE. General M'2elahon quitted Constantine, May 9, with an army of 10,00 D men, to undertake an expedi- Lion agaiest Kabylia. Galignani announces the death of the Hon. Lady Airey, widow of the late General Sir George Airey, &c., and sister of the late Lord Talbot de Malahide. Her ladYsbip had been for many years a resident in Paris, where she was much respected. Letters from Saint Francisco, of 4th April, state that all the emigrants sent, out by the Lottery of the _ ingots of Gold had succeeded in obtaining employ ment on favourable conditions_ The total amount of the first day's ealo of the Soult collection of pictures was 973,739 francs. The court -martial of the 10;11 division has just commenced at Montpellier the trial of several pri soners charged with having been engaged in the in surrection at Bedarieux, and in the murder of three gendarmes. This case is the most serious that hes been brought before the miiitary tribunal, and it shows, in a remarkable degree, the preparations that had been made by the Socialist party for a general demenstration, and the horrible consequences that would have resulted from it if it had been successful. The indictment reveals circumstances of such atro city, that if they were not founded on the most posi tive evidence they might be considered incredible. A striking fact has been revealed in connexion with this affair. It appears that long before Decem ber, two or three of the inhabitants of Bedarieux, aware of the extent to which Socialism had spread, and of the danger that threatened, had proposed that an application should be made for an increased armed force, and that a subscription should be entered into to defray the expense of it. Only five persons could be induced to sign this appli cation. This was not because the respectable inha bitants hesitated to make a pecuniary sacrifice, but because they dreaded putting their names to a paper which, in the event of the triumph of Socialism, might have exposed them to destruction. The Prince-President of the Republic has just sent the decoration o' the Legion of Honour to a cure named Henrich, residing in the parish of Kostheim, near Mentz. It appears that this parish had suffered exceedingly in 1808 from the ravages of war, and that on a representation to that effect being made to the Emperor Napoleon, he contributed generously to the wants of the inhabitants, and, in addi tion, freed them from taxes for a period of fifteen Years. When, in 1821, the news of the Emperor's death arrived in France, the cure Henrich sponta neenaly assembled his parishioner?, and celebrated with them a funeral ceremony in honour of their b enefactor. The Grand Duke of Hesse, hearing at the tim e of this act, directed M. Aull, President of the Trib unal of Darmstadt, to express to the cure how much his conduct pleased him. It is for this conduct that the President of the Republic has now sent to bI. I-I-enrich the cross of the Legion of Honour. Accounts hav e been reccived from the penal settle ment of Lambessa. At first some acts of indiscipline „bad taken place,i ,but they were promptly repressed. The agricultural labou rs of the colony occupied the m ass of the convicts, the remainder being occupied with the construction of buildings. The church h a d b een co mpletely finished, and the cure of Bathna officiated in it regularly. GE Rill AN y.

"PATIFNCH" OF BIRDS. —We have all heard, of, • and marvelled at, the "patience of Job." But what I can exceed the patience of birds when hatching? During a period which-continues from three to eight weeks, neither the approach of danger nor the calls of hunger can drive them from the nest. Before incubation is completed, the female, however plump at the beginnintr, is generally eima elated to a skeleton. Among some tribes, the male and female sit alternately, the more equally to divide the tedious labour; among others, the male provides food for his mate, while hatching; or alleviates her toils by his melody from a neighbouring bush; Some join together in the arduous ope ration, and, by increasing the heat, endeavour to accelel•ate its progress. At. times, however, the eggs acquire a heat that seems hurtful to infant life ; on these occasions they are left to cool ; and the hen, aft er a longer or shorter space, ac cording to the weather, again resumes her occupation, with ! former perseverance and pleasure.—/Cidces Own Journal., OFF DAATUOUTH.—Weiiington, llobart Town.

The subject, then, my Lords, has undergone inquiry and discussion in the office of the Master-Gene ral of the Ordnance; that inquiry has been of a very scien tific character—(Hear, hear)—and, under these circum stance, I do not think inquiry should take place before your Lordships, the more particularly at it is intended to ask for the expenditure of a large sum of money. My Lords, we have heard of money speculations.—(Hear.) I have heard of persons advancing large sums to this gentleman, in the hope that he would receive a large re ward from the public for this invention. It really appears to me, therefore, thet this is not exactly a question into which, under the circumstances, the House of Lords ought to inquire. —(Hear, hear.) If I had been in my place on the day when my Noble Friend introduced his motion, I should have felt it to have been my duty to have urged upon your Lordships to have before you tho proceedings which had taken place in the office of the Master-General of the Ordnance, and afterwards I should have requested your Lordships to egree to the address I now ask you to adopt, namely--" That an humble ad dress be presented to her Majesty, praying that her Ma jesty will be pleased to give directions that there be laid before this House copies or extracts of any report made to the Master-General of the Ordnance on the subject of the inventions of Mr. Warner." My Lords, lam aware that Mr. Warner has objected to the officers appointed by the Ordnance to make these inquiries, and particularly that he has objected to a gallant friend of mine, Sir Howard Douglas. Indeed, I understand my Noble Friend (Earl Talbot) mentioned him in this House when he introduced his motion. Now I beg leave to read to your Lordships a few words from a letter from this same gentleman, Mr. Warner, to the Master-General of the Ordnance, upon this very officer, Sir Howard Douglas.—(Hear, bear.) He says, with respect to the appointment of Sir Howard Douglas and Sir Edward Owen, "I approve of the choice the Government have made in these distinguished officers."—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) My Lords, Sir Edward Owen could not attend on this Committee, owing to his being employed in the service, but Sir Byam Martin did, and he is an officer whom your Lordships know to be distinguished for his services. My Lords, under then° circumstances, I think it would be advisable to wait until your Lordshipa have seen what was reported upon these inventions by a. committee of scientific officers cf the navy and army appointed by the Master-General of the Ordnance to consider the expediency of adopting this invention for the service of her Majesty.—(Cheers.) The Earl of DERBY observed that he was so far in the position cf the Noble and Gallant Duke that he also had been prevented from attending in their Lordships' House on the day on which the motion was made to refer the invention, or presumed invention, of C a pt a i n Warner to a Select Committee; and ho would admit that if he viewed the case in the same light with the Noble Duke he should have come to the conclusion to which he (the Noble Duke) had apparently arrived— namely, that it would not be expedient to enter into a discussion of the merits of this invention. If, moreover, he believed that this Committee was moved for as an appeal against the decision of very competent officers appointed on the highest authority to examine and re port on the inventions, he should have felt as strongly , as the Noble Duke that nothing could be more inconve nient than (and this he said without meaning the slight est disrespect to their Lordships) to refer the question from a more competent to a less competent authority.— (Hear.) If this was an appeal from that inquiry for the purpose of obtaining a sum of money from Parliament, he should be the first to object to the inquiry proposed; but he apprehended the Noble Duke must he somewhat misinformed as to the intention with which this Com mittee was asked, and the intention with which their Lordships had granted it.—(Hear, hear.) All the papers which formed the subject of the address of the Noble Duke had, he believed, been already submitted to Par liament, and there could be no inconvenience arising from their being reprinted, if the Noble Duke de sired their production either before the House or the Committee. The Duke of WELLINGTON—Look at the terms of the motion. The Earl of DERBY (in continuation) said ho was quite aware of the terms of the motion, and also that the Select Committee was appointed to report 'upon Capt. Warner's inventions and the several matters connected therewith. But he thought the Noble and Gellant Duke was still under misapprehension with regard to the ob jects of theeeiriqiiiiy, and its terms asked for or granted. The fact was this—Captain Warner had made, or was alleged to have made, two very important discoveries.. One, the long range, certainly bad a fair trial, and was most unequivocally condemned by the parties em ployed to examine and report upon it. Here Captain Warner contended that he had been placed at a dis advantage; but be did not ask for another trial or exhibition of his projectile. With regard to the in vention, there could be no doubt whatever that Cap tain Warner was possessed of the secret of a highly explosive power, calculated to produce extraordinary effects. How the application was to be applied was another question, and was totally separate from the exclu sive compound itself. How far the invention could bo ap plied to naval or military operations, or be made avail able for aggression or defence, was a distinct question. The destruction of the vessel, according to the testimony of the officers present, was more sudden and complete than could have been had by any other explosive sub stance ordinarily used in warfare; but on all previous oeeAsions Captain Warner had desired, that upon tho success of his operations being admitted, he should, without any further inquiry, be paid a large sum out of the public purse. Such was the proposition made by the late Sir Robert Peel, but which he had properly and most justifiably refused to accede to. Capt Warner now came before their Lordships with a diffeient pro position. He was prepared to come before the Select Committee without requiring any pledge or even under standing as to remuneration, and lay before !them the whole secret of his invention. Under these circum stances, he thought it would be hard upon! Captain Warner to refuse his application. And here let it be re membered that the Committee would be composed of Peers fully able to appr ec i a t e th e mer i ts of the!explana tions which the inventor now offered. The fact and the evidence now proposed to be produced werel not laid before the former tribunal, who refused to re4ommend the payment of a large sum of m o ne y f o r exp4riments, some of which partially failed, and some of which were partially successful, and the application of which to any particnlar purposes of naval or military warfar©& was not explained on the part of the inventor. He would say again, that he thought their Lordships would bo dealing hardly by Captain Warner, whatever might' be tho merits or demerits of his invention, if he were not afforded the opportunity he sought of making the proppsed ex planations.—(Hear, hear.) The Duke of WELLINGTON—My Lords, I beg leave to explain that my Noble Friend is mistaken with respect to the nature of the commission, or committee, appointed by the Ordnance to inq u i re i n t o t h e inventions. The first point naturally is, is it an invention at all?—(Hear.) I say that it is not an invention; and I found that state ment on the decision of the Committee. Next, i t s it effi cient for the service? Is it of such a nature that it can be applied to the service? Can it bo constructed and formed in our laboratories, or be carried with safety in our magazines abroad? C ou ld i t b e carr i e d i n safety in our carriages on land? These were all questions that were considered by the Committee under the Master-General of the Ordnance.—(Hear, hear). These, my Lords, are nice questions for the decision, I think, of a committee of naval and military officers, and not of a Committee of your Lordships' House.—(Hear, hear.) The question is now in the hands of the Executive Goverment, and has been under a committee of officers; under those cir cumstances, your Lordships should refrain from inter fering in it, and your Lordships would do well to con sider the matter before you appoint the Committee; and I desire, at all events, that before the Committee enters upon the subject they should have before them all the information that can be given. The Earl of HARDWICKE said the questions brought before their Lordships by the Noble Duke as proper to be entered into were such as he himself entirely con curred in thinking were most eesentiale. It was certainly necessary to discover what the secret was (if there was one), and whether it would be 'available for the public service. It was to investigate these questions the Com mittee was to be app o i nte d. I n no f or mer inquiry had the nature of the mechanism, or the composition to be , used in the in ven ti on , b een d escr ib e d. Captain Warner had certainly t r i e d some exper i ments , w hich he (Lord Hardwicke) had w i tnesse d and he had seen a boat most powerfully con s t ructe d bl own i nto f ra gments not larger than his arm. B ut the comm i ttee o f officers did not know how thi s was done; and for t h o purpose of dis closing this, C apta i n W arner consen ted to come before a Committee of their Lordships, and to state of what the invention was compoSed. The Committee would be supplied with all the information available on the sub ject, arid could call before them officers whose opinion would be valuable. Lord MONTEAGLE said he was the person to whom Captain Warner— Lord PINTO—Not Captain, Mr. Warner. Lord MONTEAGLE—He was the person to whom Mr. Warner had first applied upon the subject, and the Iwo great point s p resse d u pon the Government of L or d Melbourne were the marvellous invisible shell, and the marvellou s " long range," both of which he had been satisfied were delusive. When Mr. U. Vivian had asked Mr. Warner if he could blow up the woiks at Gibraltar —ho said "Oh yes, and the reek too." Now, when a men said such things as that, surely it amounted to ab solute insanity. Now, he considered the appointment of this Committee upon such a claim would be a most monstrous and unjustifiable precedent. A Committee of thei r L ordships would not be a tribunal comparable to the c omm i ttee of general officers who had already decided on the invention. And even if there were less doubt th an there was as to the valuelessness of the al leged i nvention, he should object to taking the subject out of th e responsibility of the Government. Sir How ard Douglas h a d exam i ne d t h e pro j ect and communicated his opinion against it to the late Sir Robert Peel, who had replied in the following letter:— l : t but a n l n d e i d o f n r. require Warner s u ; c such anda demonstration deep deeply r e " dear Sir lloward,--I have read the speech you were good enough to send me. It is quite conclusive, t the valu able time which has been thrown away upon this man and hie project. I hope Lord John Russell will read t h e speech before the Committee.—Most truly yours, attempted a What would be the consequence of appointing Com mittee of this kind (for which there was no precedent) t t o h the s C e i City 0 0 of invention London. air. for on matters purely military, or relating to the public ,, ser vice? The admiesion of a Parliamentary case thus pthEeELc.har implied acted as a bill of exchange °bßeEgditirsoTecfounted in to traffic with in foreign countries. tWhaatrnpeurrphoasde,alarnedadhyad even of fered Earl TALBOT said he had not intended discourtesy to the Noble Duke in not giving him special notice of the motion, having placed it on the paper in the ordinary way. Mr. Warner had not refuted to disclose his invention on former occasions. It gave him pain to be opposed by the Noble Duke, but be believed the Noble Duke acted entirely under a misapprehension. The real fact was that the invention had never been inquired into at all; and, how ever he might be exposed to the ridicule or censure of the Noble Lords opposite, he declared that ho believed it ought to be inquired into, and he would do his duty fearlessly by demanding inquiry. He was quite willing that the Committee should comprise the Commander in -Chief, the Master-General of the Ordnance, and the First Lord of the Admiralty; but the names he had se lected comprised also Lord Combermere, the Marquis of Anglesea, Lord Hardwicke, the Duke of Richmond, Lord Saltoun, Lord Seaton, the Duke of Newcastle, and Lord Ellesmere. After the ridicule which had been cast upon the inventor as - a charlatan, Mr. Warner had a right to claim an inquiry to set his character right; and, as a Peer of Parliament, who had been charged with abetting an imposture, ho felt that he had a right to demand the inquiry, especially as he believed the matter affected the defences of the country. The Duke of WELLINGTON explained that he bad not intended to impute any discourtesy to his Noble Friend, but he,had not seen the notice on the paper. It was impossible that ho should serve on the Committee, and ho hoped he should be excused.—(Hear, hear.) Earl GREY said he thought that, for the reasons stated by the Noble Duke, the Committee ought not to be appointed. Ho had been quite surprised to find that the motion for its appointment, had been carried. All departments of the Government were continually beset, by projectors, and if they could obtain the sanction of some Committee, on inadequate grounds, they would procure advances of money, as Mr. Warner had al ready obtained. IF an inquiry were necessary it ought to be conducted under the auspices of the Executive Go vernment. If their Lordships had fallen into a gross blunder in consenting to this Committee, lot them get out of it as soon as they could, and ho therefore recom mended that the nomination of the Committee be post poned sine die. The Earl of WICKLOW said the Noble Lord opposite had lost sight altogether of the difference between the present and the former inquiries that had taken place. The inquiries hitherto made had only been to elicit the operations of the machinery, but there was no power of going into the merits of the inventions, or of the in gredients With which those instruments were prepared. Now, for the first time, Captain Warner proposed to state what was the nature and composition of these in ventions. The tribunal was, however, objectionable. Had there ever occurred a single instance in that coun try in which the inquiry before a Select Committee had not become public? Every member of their Lordships' House had a right to go into that Committee, and put questions to the witnesses, and do anything but vote. Could a secret laid before a Committee of that nature be reserved, or was it not likely that it would soon become known to the whole world?—(Boar, hear.) If 0000 known in England, it would soon be known in France, and would be of as much advantage to their enemies as to themselves. He thought a case had been made out for inquiry, but agreed with the Noble Earl that it should be one before a limited number of scientific persons, and not before a Select Committee. But if there was no alternative between no inquiry and one before that House, then he thought it should bo limited to three or five scientific Peers, and that it ought be to all intents and purposes a Secret Committee. The Earl of WINCHILSEA objected to the appoint ment of any Committee of Inquiry, believing the whole affair to be a perfect humbug.—(A laugh.) He thought the object of most of these projectors and inventors was to extract a certain sum of money from the country. The Noble Earl (Talbot) thought that it was a very great and important discovery, but the simplest manner of testing it would be to let Captain Warner commu nicate with the officers appointed by the Ordnance, who were the best judges of these matters. He thought it an extremely inconvenient precedent that these matters should be brought under the consideration of a Com mittee of their Lordships' House. The Earl of ALBEMARLE did not think the con duct of Captain Warner such as to entitle him to any great consideration from a British Legislature. His Noble Friend behind him was under a mistake in sup posing that these great inventions and experiments were to be confined to this country. When he (the Earl of Albemarle) was private secretary to Lord John Russell, the matter came before him, and they had a siguifi tent hint from Captain Warner that if his demands were not satisfied, his secret might fall into the hands of those who were the enemies of the country; and in a pamphlet published by him he found this pas sage:—" I now consider. myself a free agent, with full liberty to go where I please with my inventions, and sell them to any foreign nation I may think proper." Th© Noble Earl said on the former occasion that the invona tions would supersede the Militia Bill. If that were so, he would say let him sell them to the enemy; provided he used them at the time of an invasion, he was satis fied they would be like the elephants at the battle of Hydaspes, and prove more terrible to friends than to foes.—(Hear.) The Earl of ROSSE did not think the matter was one for a Committee of Inquiry, and he was not speaking at random, because he was perfectly familiar with all those devices, not for the purposes of war, but for the amusement of large numbers of people. There was nothing in those experiments that could not be dono without the least difficulty; without any agent but common gunpowder. He believed the Noble Earl had been in a great mew:Lure imposed upon, and that the Go vernment officers were not satisfied with what had been done. Ho was constantly persecuted by projectors of all sorts, some of whom believed they had discoved the perpetual motion, and others bringing for ward scientific inventions already known; but the only thing like novelty that was brought before him was by an Irish Ribbonman.—(Great laughter.) It occasions the th d e eal ba o n f ks inc o o f iri th e e . ap p e canals ar wereappeared th that i o n n g nience and mischief was the result. The motive, of course, was to obtain employment in t he repairs. At last one man turned approver , an d div ulged the secret; but the stipendiary magistrat e befo r e wh om the state ment was made did not altoge ther like to Fee the experi ment tried. He bad accor din g l y direct ed the man to d v e a s r t ie ro u y s ed e ; perform the operation, and the charge was laid and the mine prepared, but there was no fuze—that was the p ecu liarity; but it was supplied by a mixture of qu i c k lime, oatmeal, and nitric acid, and in about four or f our and-a-half hours after that mixture was applied the mine exploded. Upon asking the man where he got his in formation, he had succeed©d in tracing it to France. The only reward the man had,obtained was a free passage ece;r os t h rs ehh should to American.—(Great laughter, which lasted for some minutes.)

That was the proper channel for the inquiry, and he had no doubt it would be made by the Master-General in such a manner as would • I prove satisfactory. The motion was then agreed to.

It was upon the grounds alleged by the petitioners that he h a d resisted the Bill, when it was brought in by the late Sir Robert Peel, to augment and to place that gra n t upon a permanent basis. The objections he had then felt had been since confirmed and strengthened. . It appeared to him that the grounds upon which it had been made had totally failed, and that no good had resulted from it. On the contrary, it had greatly dissatisfied all classes of their Protestant fellow- su bj ects, while it had produced no feelings of conciliation. H e trusted he might entertain those o pinions without entert a i n i ng th e l eas t hostility or ill-will t owar d s hi s Roman Catholic ,_ fellow subjects ; and h e t rus t e d th a t i n co nsidering those way teege serious objections, those f ee li ngs we re no t an in compromised. He could not conceal frome hi ms elf that d, and that the most serious question had been neglected, rant should be if they came to the resolution that that g withdrawn, the policy of continuing grants to other re ligious establishments must be considered. That VMS the course they must pursue in accordance with justice and sound policy. It appeared to him that it was not at all:the province of the State to interfere with the religious opinions of the people, and that they ought never on that account to make any distinctions with regard to civil rights, provided that in that religion there was no prin ciple hostile to civil liberty or sound government. But considering those principles ho thought they ought gra dually and judiciously to withdraw all grants given by the State to those various religious bodies—that they ought to endeavour to maintain and strengthen the re ligion of the State by correcting abuses add enforcing its efficiency, and, a b ove all, by rendering its ministers effi cient teachers of pure Christian faith. That fully applied to the Established Church is Ireland, which was overgrown and out of measure with the Pro testant population of the country. These were ques tions involved in the consideration of the withdrawal of the grant to :Reynosa)). Viewing it in that light, as a question forced upon them, seeing that there was a great anxiety on the part of the Protestants of that country— seeing that its Protestant principles were compromised by the grant to Maynooth, he would appeal to the Noble Earl at the bead of the Government to give a declara tion of his opinion and of the policy he deemed it right the Government ought to pursue in that great, difficult, and delicate question—(bear, hear)—in order to give some satisfaction and to remove the doubts which still existed in the minds of many as to the intentions of the Government; for although the question had been pre viously asked, and n discussion had taken place on the subject, and although it had been discussed in another place, still he must say that some doubt and un certainty prevailed in the public mind, which was moat prejudicial to the public interests of the country, and most inconsistent with the representative system which in that country had been established. It appeared to him, that whoever undertook the responsibility of a Government, and was placed at its head, should have his principles ready for their applica tion upon all the great questions which agitated the public mind, and that he should have a decided course of policy marked out as that which he should pursue. Without that qualification ho maintained that there could be eo real government of the country, but it would be left to this or to that wind, and it would be impossible to know how to steer the vessel of the State. It was only consistent with their representative system that there should be no concealment of the policy of the Government. Having made these remarks without any feeling of hostility to the Government, • he' hoped, the Noble Earl at its head would explain to the country the principles which he meant to apply and the policy he intended to pursue with regard to the grant and the Acts at present regulating the College for Ro man Catholic priests at Maynooth. Tho Earl of DERBY would find no difficulty in an swering 'the question of the Noble Marquis, because the present was the third time, and he hoped it might be the last s in which he had answered the same question. —(Hear, hear, and laughter.) What he bad stated was, that her Majesty's Government had no present intention of making any alteration, or proposing any repeal of the existing law by which the endowment of the College of Maynooth was authorised. He did not consider that upon that which appeared to be the views of the Noble Marquis himself and those of many persons in Scotland there could be any difference of views or questions of policy for that Government to grant an en dowment to persons of a diff3rent religious persuasion from themselves. He did not sympathise with, or adopt, the views of the Noble Marquis and the petitioners, be cause he considered the question of the endowment of the. College of Maynooth purely a question of policy, and, as a question of policy, the Government was free to act as the circumstances of the time might justify, with out reference to any specific principle of right or wrong, • bat merely acting for the public welfare, for the main tenance of the public peace and the well-being of the country in general, and considering merely, what was eoliths and wise. The Government must be left at full liberty to act with regard to the College of Maynooth upon these principles, and he repeated there was, on the part of her Majesty's Government, no present intention of interfering with the grant. Lord BEAUMONT could not reconcile the answer of the Neble Earl opposite with the course of proceeding which had been adopted in the other House of Parlia ment, and with the sanction of her Majesty's Govern ment. The Noble Earl expressed his intention of not interfering with the grant to the College of Maynooth, which he staid he considered to be a question of policy. How could that statement be reconciled with the consent given by her Majesty's Ministers in another place to commence an investigation —not into a question of mere policy, but into a question of principles and practices? If the Noble Earl intended to make no alteration in the grant, and had made up his mind on the point, how could the ,Government " consent to the formation of a Committee which was to rake up the whole subject, particularly when they were resolved that, whatever the report of that Committee, they were determined to make no alteration in the present condition of the college? He (Lerd Resuinont) agreed with the Noble Earl (Derby) that it was a question of policy. He begged also to remind the Noble Earl of his words on a former occasion, when the additionel grant was under debate, and when the esnablesEarl, in supporting it, said, " Such a course was required by the 'policy of this country, and it did not matter whether the party on whom the boon was to be conferred accepted it with gratitude or ingratitude. The policy of this country was straightforward; and it being right to make the grant, they would do so without look ing to the results."—(Hear, hear.) The object of the grant in his (Lord Beaumont's) opinion was to give edu cation to persons who intended to become Roman Ca tholic, priests. It happened that in Ireland a large por tion of the population was Roman Catholic, and as long as that was the case one of the necessary requisites was anertaie number of Roman Catholic priests. Now the population should e i t h er pay for the education out of their own pockets of those persons whom they intended should fill the office of priest, or else the Government should pay for them. Government, wisely, on a prin ciple of policy, undertook to relieve them from the bur den; and having undert a k en t h at b ur d en, he (Lord Beaumont) maintained that Government had nothing further to do with the college than to see that it carried out the principles for which the grant was made. He maintained that the College of Maynooth had strictly fulfilled these purposes; that it had educated persons for the Roman Catholic priesthood, and for no thing else. It confined its education to that object; and, in other words, it minutely fulfilled all the objects of the grant. Now, there were visitors oppointed to the col lege, who confined their reports to a number of simple questions, and did not go further into the result or na ture of the system of teaching. They merely put ques tions as to whether certain conditions were complied with, and hitherto the answers to those questions showed that they had been complied with. Government, then, having that information, it was not its business to far ther investigate the results of these books and doctrines on the minds of the scholars. All that was done at Maynooth was merely what was done at any other col lege where persons were educated for the Roman Ca tholic priesthood ; and therefore further investi gation was, in his opinion, not alone uncalled tor, but also dangerous and improper. Yet it was to a motion of this nature that her Majesty's Govern ment had, in the other House of Parliament, con sented. He could well imagine a motion brought for ward on the broad and intelligible question as to whether it was right or wrong that the grant should be allowed by this country. That would be a legitimate subject of inquiry. But as long as her Majesty's Go vernment maintained that it was right and proper that the grant should be continued, so long as that *as the case, so long was it their duty to resist unnecessary t in vestigations on the subject.—(H ear .) Wh a t benefit could result from the i nves ti gat i on ? Th e Committee might examine w it nesses an d ; rece i ve evidence class-books were read w hi c h contained not t hmostthat delicate morality, and which allowed a l wide scope CO conscience in matters of loyalty and feeling be that toeeling h such country. But after all, the answer when C - a was part and parcel of the education ofall Roman tholic priests. Her Majesty'sMinistersw consented, they made the grant, to 'the continuance of these books as class-books. The question, therefore, resolved it se lf into this, that Ministers were now pledged to th e very -e system of whicheducation prevailed at May noo tt e (Hear.) Because, when they . made the g ran t t h ey did so with their eyes open, and the course of study was now the same as previously.—(Hear, hear.) Such being the case, to come forward now with an investigation ap peared to him—he did not mean it offensively—like sneaking out of the question for the purpose of avoiding it. If there was a feeling on the question at all, it was as regarded the grant. That was the question that agi tated the country, and which, th ere f ore, should be consi dered. Half measures would never succeed. As every constitutional matter in thi s country was a thing of com promise, so also should the question of the endowment of .Maynooth College be considered as a question i of a .caomit promise. Therefor e , t h e N oble Earl opposite n was not his intentio n t o Alter his policy to wards Masyynloogth, and permitting the appointment of a Committee to inves tigate the course of education in that college at the same time, was doi ng one thing in that Rouse and undoing it in the oth er . I t was decidedly a course of compromise, and compromise of that description was very unworthy and unbecoming. The Earl of DERBY should repeat his declaration that it was not the intention of her Majesty Govern ment at present to alter or interfere with the grant. However, he did not wish to be understood as saying that, whatever might be the result of inquiry, the Go vernment would not effect charge or alteration. He ti e not state th a t, w h atever t h e resu l t o f i nqu i ry as to the system of education practised at Manooth, or the ap plication of the funds granted by Parliament for the esup port of that syst em —h e did n ot say such that would not alter the policy of her Majesty' Government disclosures would isclosur with regard to the grante—(Hear, hear.) Neither could he (the Earl of Derby) adopt tb ° expression of the education of Roman Noble Baron opposite., that if, Catholic priests, doctrineswe in the re inculcated subversive o f loyalty or inconsistent with morality, it was not a matt er _y for the Crown or Parliament to admitted that i n these interfere with.—(H ear, hear.)

He never asserted that the doctrines taught at Maynooth were subversive of loyalty or morality. He said there were class.books te em which passages might be extracted not favourable to loyalty or morality. But then these passages should be read with others that followed them. Surely in the Protestant Church the persons educated for the clefY did not confine their r ea di ng to one side of the question.g ..The Bishop of OXFORD should say there were no bo6ka read by the clergy of the Church of riughind The Bill was th en read a second time, and referred the manner proposed.
