He advised periodical inspec tion by a competent authority, no boiler being allowed to be used unless the owner could produce a certificate. What hi wanted was to combine local inspection and central anrnority. The greatest difficulty was where the boilers were too small for a man to get inside them, but he would still have them inspected as far as possible. In reply to Sir T. Bailey, the witness said he thought a national system of inspection would be the best as there would be so much diverse action with local boards, The Central Board should meet four times a year, its officers beinc , always at work. He believed there were from 40,006 to 50,000 steam users in the kingdom. He thought the insurance principle tended rather to promote than to prevent explo sions. The company would be better off in paying the loss occasioned by explosions than by g Aug to the cost of in spection. The Insurance, Company last year left 5,000 boilers wholly unexamined. —Mr. Penn, C.E., practical engineer was then called, and said the malconstruction of the safety' valves was one cause of boiler exßlosions, one which inspection would prevent. He was m favour of periodical compulsory inspection which would certainly reduce explosions to a minimum. He had often inspected al boilers, and was convinced that regular inspisection ng was the only way to prevent explosions. Th beil the evidence on Monday, the committee remained in deliberation. -----=—_ RITUALISM AT BRIGHTON. ELPHINSTONE V. THE REV. J. PURCHAS. This case was specially appointed to be heard yesterday by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council on a motion in a pending appeal from the Court of Arches. The suit was in the court below, "Elphinstone v. Purchas," and the defendant, who is the minister of St. James's Chapel, Brighton, was proceeded against at the instance of the Church Association for certain ritualistic practices in the service of the Holy Comnaunion. He had not a ppeared to th e proceedings, and was con demned for some of the practices alleged ; but the Judgment did not include the use of certain vestments, and the promoter, Colonel Elphinstone, appealed to the Judicial Committee in order to obtain a decision on the important question of vestments, and also on'the use of wafer-bread, holy water, and other articles. Since the appeal Colonel Elphinstone had died, and the case had come before the Judicial Comm an application to substi tute a new promoter, and Mr. Idenry Helbert, a resident at Brighton, was proposed. Mr. Purchas appeared under protest, and submitted that the cause had determined by the death of the promoter. There was a long list of motions before the committee to-day, and it was some time before the case was account The learned Solicitor- General could not attend onf ill-health, and an application was made that the case might be adjourned. The case accordingly stood over, and is expected to come on again next week. RAILWAY COMPENSATION FOR ACCIDENTS. The select committee of the House of Commons ap pointed to consider the question of compensation for railway accidents met again on Monday. Mr. Headlam in the chair. Dr. Pemberton, consulting surgeon of the London and North -Wester Railway Company,and of various insurance companies gave evidence in respect to the question of false claims. In the course of his examination, Dr. Pem berton expressed an opinion that by the present law. railway and insurance companies had been compelled to pay much larger for compensation than they ought. With regard to the development of injuries sustained by accidents, he said his experience was that a very serious injury was attended by immediate symptoms, although of course there were exceptions occasionally. He had never seen a serious spinal injury,. for instance, develope at a remote period from the accident causing it. But at the same time in case of injury to the head no surgeon could determine at once the extent of the injury. As to the costs of contested claims, he said one of the chief causes of the excessive spout as the heavy charges which medical men of high ion made to come into court. He believed that if the plaintiff in an action knew beforehand that his claim would come before a tribunal of experts, he would never go before them ; and by a tribunal of that description, a large number of fraudulent cases would be frustrated. Juries almost invariabl gave damages in relation to the imme diate accident, and not with respect to any previous ailment of the claimant. Both medical men and railway companies were at the mercy of the patient as to his suffer ings • it was a question of bond fi des. Colonel Yollaud, an inspector of the Board of Trade, was also examined. He stated that inspectors were frequently required tog ive partial opinions of accidents, which they ought not to be called upon to do ; and they were note mpowered to ask any questions or to call any evidence or to hold any inquiry in reference to an accident. They merely reported for the information of the Board of Trade, at the instigation of the Board. He was strongly in favour of the adoption of the block system of telegraphing, espe cially where the traffic was large ; and he thought it desirable that it should be made compulsory by Act of Parliament, or at least by some public body or dep . artment. He advised this course because different companies would never adopt the system until some serious accident occurred ou their respective lines, which compelled them to do so. He believed that the present working of the railway system was admirable. Mr. Irian, Secretary of the Railway Accidents Insur ance Company gave some particulars of the working of his office. The compensation for a 3d. first-class ticket was 21,000 in case of death, and 26 a week M case of disability ; for a 2d. second-class ticket £5OO for death and for injury £3 a week; and for a ld. ticket £2OO for death. He stated in reference to the late lamentable ac cident at Newark, .a large num ber of third-class pass en g er had paid a premium of 2d. for £lOO ; while the first class passengers had paid 6d. for £l,OOO, because the company considering the greater risk to excursion trains, charged a higher premium. Five of the persons killed held insurance tickets, for which the company had received about 10d., and would have to pay £5OO. The suggestion that the company paid premiums to persons to secure and bring back insurance tickets in case of accidents was quite false. Captain Tyler also gave some evidence. He designated the present system of compensation in this country as a scandal to the country, and the injustice arising there from was rather on the side of the railway companies. Therefore the re ought to be an improved system of in quiry ; and not only should there be limited liability, but a better tribunal for assessing damages. He thought that if the Board of Trade had power to appoint arbitrators, it was a plan which would work well, and diminish the costs. The committee then adjourned. Mr.llowes, M.P., continues rather seriously indis posed. The honourable gentleman is ordered to remain strictly quiet. • A. late junior student of Christ Chu h has rc been appointed tutor to a younger brother of Prince Hassan, an d will proceed to Egypt immediately. A. marriage is arranged, and w ill take p lace about the middle of next month, between Eleanor, second daughter of the Hon. and Rev.

ALLEGED ATTEMPTED MURDER AND SUICIDE. — On Saturday morning an attempt at murder, followed by an attempt to commit suicide, took place at the Great Seal Patent Office, Southampton-buildings, Chancery lane. Mr. Tomlinson, a clerk, was taking his lunch in his office, when he suddenly received a severe blow on the head, and on turning round perceived his assailant to ba a man named Jerman, em ployed about the building in ca rrying coals, &c. 'He was armed with a sp ecial con , stable's staff, Which was split in half by the force of the blow. Mr. Tomlinson immediately grappled with him, but the man ultimately escaped by means of the window and slid down the gutter pipe into the yard, where he entered a watercloset and endeavoured to commit suicide by cutting his throat. Hearing the disturbance, a clerk, occupiedin an adjoining room, entered Mr. Tomlinson's office, and on seeing Jerman escape, proceeded to the closet which he had entered, and found him bleeding from a wound in the throat. On further assistance arriving he was removed to King's College Hospital, where the wound was stated not to be of a serious nature. Mr. Tomlinson was fortu- ' nately so little injured that he was able to return home shortly after the occurrence. Upon making inquiries yesterday morning, it was ascertained that Jermyn was in a very dangerous state. He was still lying in King's College Hospital, and up to that time he had not been able to speak. He was, however, conscious. The wound which he had made with a penknife across his throat had completely severed the windpipe and the jugular vein. • Mr. Tomlinson, although still suffering from the effects of L the blows inflicted upon his head, was progressing favour ably, and it is now thought that he is out of danger, SUNDAY EVENING, The municipal difficulty has aroused all the energies of our orators. M. Jules Favre's speech in favour of the nomination of the mayors by the municipal councils is gene rally regarded as one of his best efforts. The amend ment was, notwithstanding rejected by the Chamber, but we all know how much importance to attach to its expression of the popular sentiments. M. 011ivier, of course, opposed the amendment in question, and I under stand he intends to offer the same uncompromising opposi tion to the return of the Orleanist princes to France. It is rumoured that the Emperor will regard as a personal affront every vote given in favour of the petition. Yesterday there was something like a scene among the deputies, the mayors being, of course,like Queveda's model woman, at the bottom of allthe mischief. M. Prax-Paradol was holding forth on the right of Government to nominate the mayors direct. Being a mayor himself, the deputy for Montauban has, of course, good reason to appreciate the enlightenment and sagacity of the official selection ! To withhold this right from the Government. says M. Prax Paradol, would be to disarm the Crown !—(a phrase for which the Silele, by the bye, ridicules him unsparingly.) M. Granier de Cassagnac and others followed, and the rival parties became excited. " There is no law against the right," cried M. Ernest Picard ; " only materialists and courtiers deny the existence of a primeval right superior to all your projects of law !" Upon this there arose a commotion, which M. Schneider endeavoured to quell. Let these irritating subjects, he said, be reserved for outside. M. Arago thereupon changed the excite ment into laughter by quietly remarking to the Government, " You see it will be neces sary for you to provide us with arenas !" The Government would haire given him anything in reason, I dare say, at that moment, so grateful were they for the lucky mot which averted the storm. Nothing dis arms an angry assembly like a fit of laughter, and the deputies, conscious they had been looking and speaking like so many gladiators, were content to resume their discussions with more calmness, and to leave " fighting it out " till another opportunity. Monetary matters will be our next trouble when we have laid the ghosts of M.M. les Maires. The Consti tutional Left has held a meeting, at which it was decided that particular attention should be given to matters con nected with the Budget, and that M. Picard should be the first to speak on the 4th of July, the day for opening the discussion on the Budget. The heat is still great. At Lyons there is an absolute scarcity of water, and the murmurs of the public are growing so loud that the town authorities will be forced to take fresh measures to procure a systematic supply as Paris has done. We have not, however, much to boast of even in the eapitaL The Prefect of the Seine has just sent round a circular to the traders of Paris de siring them to use as little water as possible. Figaro learns that the watering of the town has been sensibly diminished of late. Happily, better accounts have lately been received of the harvest, and the good effects have already exhibited themselves on the Bourse. Bread made from this year's wheat, grown in Algeria, is now selling in some of the baker's shops. One of our legantes, yesterday, parodied a snot of Madame de Stael, who sent her compliments to the sun shine, by a gentleman leaving England for France. In the same way a member of the court, on leaving France for a good long voyage, bade farewell to a lady who bade him if ever he should meet the rain tell it how much it was needed in Paris. Great excitement has been occasioned in the religious and political world by Cardinal Guid's speech at the Council. It has been looked upon as an event, and it may yet have an important influence on the ultimate decisions of the august assembly. The Cardinal is one of the most notable prelates of Italy, and he was sup posed to favour the dogma of infallibility, but it is now thought that his discourse against it will arrest the course of the Ultramontanes with respect to the closing of the deliberations. The Univers has main tained a complete silence regarding the Cardinal's manifestation of opinion. Another distinguished visitor will shortly arrive in France, Marshal Prim having announced his intention of trying the waters of Vichy. When he returns to Madrid a general amnesty will be proclaimed. It was reported that Prince Charles, of Roumania, had been assassinated, but on inquiry the rumour turns out to be unfounded. The Turkish police are seeking for the origin of this report, which caused great consternation at first. Yesterday the abdication of Queen Isabella took place. The partizans of her cause attach great importance to this act of abdication, to which, after long hesitation, she has consented, but it is difficult to see what difference it can make. The chances of a restoration are about equal as regards Isabella the Second and Alphonso the Twelfth. There is no likelihood of Madrid concerning itself with the affair of the Hotel Basilewski, and the Cortes have already given themselves four months holiday. A strange story is afloat concerning the withdrawal of the troops from Rome. It is said that some of the deputies of the Right became alarmed at the risk which the Holy See might incur in the event of the withdrawal of the French troops during the recess. They informed the Duke de Gramont of their fears, and he assured them that the Government would in its constitutional spirit call the Chambers together, rather than take upon itself the sole responsibility of such an act. We shall never hear the last of strikes. The last news is that the carpenters of Marseilles have struck work, and ask for an hour's diminution of work without any reduc tion of wages. The Rouen carpenters are about to follow their example. At Orleans some unpleasant consequences have ensued from the strike of the ironfounders. Several inhabitants are anxious to procure water from the town, but in the absence of the ironfounders it has been impossi ble to procure turn-cocks for turning on the water. Tan GREEK MURDERS.— The bidependance Italienne denies the rumour that a joint note from Eng land and Italy on the subject of the Greek massacre will shortly be addressed to the Greek Government. REPORTED BATTLE IN LA PLATA.—The Menlo morial Diplomatique of Saturday evening publishes news, without date, from La Plata, announcing that a battle has taken place between the Argentine forces under General Conesa, and the insurgents under General Lopez Jordan. At the first shock of cavalry General Jordan scattered the right wing of General Conesa's army, but the Argentine infantry afterwards routed General Jor dan's corps, which was compelled to retreat. PRUSSIA AND ME ST. GOTHARD RAILWAY.—The The Berlin Correspondent of the Agence Hams says that much suprised hasbeen expressed atthe suppression by the Moniteur Prussien of the passage in the Duke de Gram mart's speech relative to Count Bismarck, and adds that the suppression was not confined to the Moniteur Prus sien.The passage was omitted in the telegram sent from Paris to all the Prussian papers, and in the accounts given of the sitting of the Corps Ldgislatiff the same paragraph in the speech was so altered as to be scarcely recognisable. There is a great strike of shoemakers going on in Massachusetts, and, according to the New York Tribune just received, it seems that the arrival of 75 Chinamen from California has brought discomfiture on some of the Boston turnouts, for all the foreigners were taken on at one of the large establishments which had been thrown idle. A. strange case of cannibalism is reported from Swinton. In the course of a fight between Thomas Sykes and Thomas Askin, the latter is said to have nearly bitten off the under lip of his antagonist, who is now under the care of Mr. Blythman, surgeon, and must have suffered most excrutiating pain from his injuries, which are de scribed as presenting a most revolting appearance. M. DE LESSEP'S VISIT TO LIVERPOOL.—Satur day was occupied by M. de Lesseps in visiting the chief objects of commercial and general interest connected with the town and port of Liverpool, including the St. George's Hall, Free Public Library and Museum, the warehouses recently completed by the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board, and the principal docks. The steam tender Alert having been placed by the dock board at M. de Lesseps' disposal for a cruise on the river, he had a good oppor tunity of appreciating not only the great extent of the dock range, but the massive and handsome character of the masonry of the walls, locks, and towers. He was greatly interested and gratified. M. de Lesseps was ac comp tilled by Mr. D. A. Lange, and by a number of the leading commercial men of the town. Yesterday ad dresses from the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce and the East India and China Association were presented to him at the Town Hall. The mayor invited the members of the Town Council and the Mersey Dock Board to be present on the occasion. The death of the Earl of Haddington is announced. The melancholy event occurred on Saturday, after a short illness. The deceased nobleman, George Bailie Hamilton, eldest son of the late Mr. George Baillie, of Jerviswoode, by Mary, youngest daughter of the late Sir J. Pringle, Bart., was 1 )orn at Mallerston, near Kelso, on the 14th of April, 180 t,, and was brother of the late Marchioness of Breadalbane, the Countess of Aberdeen, Lady Polwarth, and the Countess Ashburnham. He married, 16th September, 1824; Georgiana, daughter of the Ven. Archdeacon Robert Markham. The late earl succeeded to the peerage in 1858, on the death of his cousin,. Thomas -- Framilton, 9th Earl of Haddington, who died sine prole. He was appointed a lord in waiting to the Queen in Sep tember, 1867, having previously, in April, 1859, been a representative peer for Scotland, and his lordship was High Commissioner to the Church of Scotland from May 1867 till the resignation of Lord Derby. His lord ship was also appointed a deputy-lieutenant of Roxburgh shire in 1831, and of Haddingtonshire in 1851, and was a deputy-lieutenant of Berwickshire. In 1861 he was appointed colonel-commandant of the East Lothian Yeomanry Cavalry. The first peer of the family, an eminent Scotch advocate, was ennobled in 1562. He became first Earl of Melrose, a title he subsequently chan,,o-ed for that of Earl of Waddington.rhe Earls of Haddington were the heriditary keepers of Holyrood-park from the reign of Charles IL till 1843, when the late earl's kinsman compromised the family interest for a pecuniary compensation of £40,000, and the office is consequently now abolished. The deceased peer is succeeded in the family honours by his son, George, Loru Binnin g , born 26th July, 1827, and married 17 th Octob er, 1854, to Helen, second daughter of Sir John Warrender, Bart., Ly the Hon. Frances Henrietta Arden, by whom there is a youthful family. • REVISION OF THE AUTHORISED VERSION. It maybe interesting to recall a scene which was briefly noticed in the columns of the Times as having occurred during the past week, and which gives a pleasing augury for a better feeling between the contending factions of Church and State. We refer to the participation in the Holy Communion by the Company of the Revisers of the Authorised Version of the New Testament, which occurred in Henry Vll.'s Chapel in Westminster Abbey, preparatory to their entrance on their important work. A notice had been issued to each of the body, to the effect that the Sacrement would be administered there, on the day of their first meeting, to such of the body as should feel disposed to attand. Some few were-prevented from appearing ; but at the hour named as many astwenty presented themselves, and were placed in the ancient stalls of the chapel No one else assisted. The Dean read the service from the Communion table at the head of Henry Vll.'s tomb. It so happened that this table thus received its first use. It had within a few days past replaced a temporary table, having as the inscription round it records, been erected in the place of the ancient altar which once indicated the spot where Edward VI. was buried, probably to meet the wishes of his sister Mary, and had been destroyed by the Puritans in the civil war. On the marble slab which covers its top is placed the fragment of the beautifully carved frieze of the lost altar, found unexpectedly last year in Edward Vl.'s grave, together with other frag ments of ruined altars which happened to be at hand for a like purpose. In front of this table, thus itself F monument of extinct strifes of former days, and round the grave of the youthful Protestant King, in whose reign the English Bible first received its acknowledged place in the coronation of the Sovereign; as well as its free and general circulation throughout the people, knelt together the band of scholars and divines, con sisting of representatives of almcst every form of Christian belief in England. There were bishops of the Established Church, two of them by their venerable years connected with the past generation ; there were the representatives of our historic Cathedrals and Collegiate Churches, of our learned Universities, of our laborious parochial charges, and of our chief ecclesiastical Convoca tion ; and with these, intermingled without distinction, were ministers of the Established and of the Free Church of Scotland, and of almost every Nonconformist Church in England—lndependent, Baptist, Wesleyan, Uni tarian. It is not to be supposed that each one of those present entered with equal agreement into every part of the service ; but it is surely not without a hopeful significance that neither on the side of the Church nor of Nonconformity was there any " religious difficulty " raised as to a joint participation on such an occasion in the most venerable and sacred ordinance of the Christian religion. The chapel of Henry VII. has witnessed many famous sights, more august and more stirring—the funerals of kings and princes, of nobles, generals, and statesmen; the debates of the Westminster Assembly and of the Convocations of the English Church ; the installation of the Knights of the Bath, whose banners wave from the roof, and whose swords were deposited beneath the altar raised on that spot. But it may be doubted whether it has ever been the scene of an event so fraught, if rightly considered, with possibilities of kindly inter course between jarring factions, and pacific solution of warring problems, as that which happened, silent and unobserved, on the 22nd of June. THE PROSPECTS OF THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND. Dr. Fraser, the Bishop of Manchester, in addressing a demonstration of upwards of 15,000 Church of England Sunday-school scholars at Blackburn Corporation-park on Saturday, said he never saw in his life such a spectacle as then met his eyes ; he never saw before him so large a congregation, and the sight of so many thousand Church of England Sunday-school scholars filled his heart with mingled feelings, partly of encouragement and partly of depression and anxiety. The depressio n on his mind was that of his own weakness and incapacity in attempting to be, he Bishop of such a large population as that of Lanca shire, and he feared that he should prove unequal to the mighty task which lay before him. There was a time when Bishops were seldom seen in popular assemblies of that kind—when they stood upon the dignity of their Order. He believed the Bishops of the present generation had found that their strength was in coming into the most immediate and direct contract with the people. A friend of his who lived in old times and ancient memories, and looked doubtfully upon the changes that he saw going on all round about him, once told him that he thought the days of the Church of England were numbered when the Bishops left off wearing their wigs. He sometimes went into circles where he heard a very croaking tone about the pros pects of the Church of England. Looking round that great gathering, he confessed to his mind being very much lifted up, not only regarding the present of the Church of England, but still more regarding the future of the Church of England. He believed there never was a greater opportunity for usefulness, and a greater scope for putting forth all her energies, than is now laid out before the Church of England, if she would only rise to the occasion, and prove herself worthy of the oppor tunity. The Church of England must not simply be the church of the nobility, or of the aristocracy, or of the wealth of the land, but of the whole people ; and she must be tolerant, catholic, evangelical, com prehensive, and conciliatory. Her strength lay not in her Bishops, though they no doubt were of use in their places, not even in their clergy, though they did a thousand times more to strengthen her than the body of the Bishops ; but the strength of the Church of England lay in a staunch, faithful, and consistent laity. They must take their stand upon the ancient principles that had characterised our constitution in Church and State, be loyal to their own principles, yet temp era t e and moderate towards the principles of those who differed from them—not in a spirit of compromise, which he understood to be a watering down of principles till they become so weak that they could not distinguish them from the similarly watered down opinions of those who differed from them—not in a spirit of " toleration," because that was almost insulting to men who lived on the free soil of England, but of broad sympathy and mutual conciliation. There was a time when it was believed by rulers in high places that the strength of the Church of England depended upon Acts of Parliament and upon repressive laws prohibiting meeting-houses to• be opened there and conventicles there, but all those things were relics of the dark ages when men did not understand the temper of the English people or the true temper of their own Church. The Church was now standing forth in her strength and spreading out her arms wider and wider, and gathering more and more into her fold, by teaching the better lesson of Christian charity andmutual conciliation. He ventured to prophesy that fifty years hence Englishmen who would be living then would be living on a soil which would be inhabited by a race still more happy, still more educated, still more civilised, still more united, and in the highest sense still more religious than the race which treads the English soil now, SLAVERY IN BRAZIL.—TWO proposals have been presented to the Chamber of Deputies of Rio Janeiro which pronounce the freedom of all children who shall be born of slave parents. These plans are as yet imperfect, but they are an indication of the state of things , and afford promise of future improvement. They have been referred to the examination of a special commission. A LADY KILLED IN THE LONDON STREETS.—On Saturday Mr. Payne, the deputy coroner held two in quests respecting the death of Miss Maria Gleadow, aged sixty-four years, at Guy's Hospital, and the other on Maria Sanson, aged two years, at St. Bartholomew's. Miss Gleadow was a sister of Mr. Gleadow, a professor of music, living at 8, Doctor-street, Walworth, and she was single lady. Mr. G. Hanson,llo,New North- road, Islington, stated that at six o'clock on Monday evening, while he was driving a pony and trap through High-street, Borough, he saw the deceased crossing the road in front of his pony's head. He called out to her, and she then ran against a three-horse omnibus that was going to Camberwell. The horses struck her and she fell into the roadway. The wheels passed over her body. The driver of the omnibus called out to her, but he was not able to pull up in time to, prevent the accident. The police carried the lady to Guy's: Hospital, where she expired on Thursday from the effects, of her injuries. A verdiat of " Accidental death" wan. recorded.

A deputation of working-men delegates, representini the different trade societies of the metropolis, had an in terview with Mr. Forster, at the Privy Council Office, on Saturday, respecting the Government Education Bill. Mr. Forster was addressed by Messrs. Cremer, Lucraft, Mot tershead, Osborne, Niess, Sutter, Stafford, and others. They found fault with the Government Bill because it allowed a further extension of the denominational system, did not restrict education to strictly secular subjects, and did not make compulsion general. Mr. Forster, in reply, said—lt is evident to me that on one or two points you are under a complete misappre hension about the bill. First, you suppose the Irish ques tion has had something to do with it. Now, if I have not forfeited in your minds all claim to credit and belief, take it from me that your supposition is an utter delu sion, and altogether erroneous. There is no compact whatever, and I must say, speaking plainly as I do, that your supposition, if it does exist, must arise fro m want of knowledge f facts. The fact of the ma tter is this, that this bill, as brought toward by me originally, and especially in its present form, is less denominational than the present system in Ireland, and therefore the idea that, by carrying this bill we should be improving the status of the denominational party in Ireland is an entire delusion, and not founded on fact. I am satisfied I should have no difficulty in convincing you if I could find time to go into the matter with one or two of you alone. With regard to the remarks on the subject of the vestries, they are based on the state of the metropolis, and I am very glad to have heard them, for they are useful information. We have never pledged ourselves to any particular mode of elec tion of school boards in the metropolis. I have always said that one of the greatest practical difficulties was the state of the metropolis, not merely in education , but in ordinary respects ; and all I can say is, that if Ave can find a better way of dealing with the matter, I shall be very glad to do so. The principles on which we desire to elect the school boards throughout the country are to get the best boards possible, and to et them by the expres sion of the wish of the parents. if that be not according to the present plan in the metropolis, I dare say we ma y find out something better. But as regards elections generally throughout the country, there is no qualifica tion or restriction whatever on the members of the board They may be, and no doubt often would be, working men who have gained the confidence of their neighbours by their knowledge of education. There is nothing even to prevent there being women, if they had a knowledge of the question. With regard to the con science clause, it is a mistake to suppose th at it does not of carefully provide that there should be n o compulsion any kind on a parent to send his c hild to any religious teaching, denominational or otherwise, Bible -reading, or sectarian, which he dislikes. That w as the original in , of the bill, and the conscience clause as now framed makes it impossible such a thing could hap ll pen. that a parent s has to do is to keep his child away, or to tell the schoolmaster that he i s to be kept away. The punishment to the schoolmaster and the school if they do not obey the injunction is the loss of all the money to be received from the Government ; the penalty, the is of the strongest description. With regard to compulsion, I may acknowledge that I have a more advanced opinionnnot about that than many othe r persons, but compel attendance till you have compelled provision for the school. The deputation then withdrew. The Echo believes that the Government intend to accept the amendments of Mr. Torrens with reference to the election of a School Board for the metropolis, adopting the Parliamentary divisions, and election by the rate payers, the expense to be defrayed out of the Common Poor Fund. 117 0 217 0 PRIOE ld STAMPED 2d.
