The hou , e haviug gone into committee en this bill, Lord ELOHO rose to ask the noble lord at the head of the Government a question with reference to the working of the measure. The question he wished to ask was how, in the event of the bill passing, it was the in tention of the Government to administer the . Privy Council grants for education among the various sects in Scotl and ? Lord PALMERSTON said this bill, if passed, would, be apprehended, make provision for those schools by rates. Of course the object of the Government was to diffuse education, and there was not the slightest wish to withhold assistance from those schools, and the Government would bs disposed to give the most favour able consideration to the claims of such schools, whether in towns or in the country, which were not in such a flourishing condition as would enable them to do as niuch good as they wished for their own schools. (Hear.) Mr. HADFIELD then moved as an amendment that the words in the preamble, 16th line, page 1, after the " Holy Scriptures," and the words in the 17th, 18th, and 19th lines, and the words in the 20th line, preceding the words " And whereas," be left out, and that the following words be substituted, viz., " ought not to be conducted at the expense of any of her Majesty's subjects who conscientiously object to the principles taught, or to compulsory taxation for the teaching religion, or to the reading of the Scriptures, in any public school." Mr. L. HEY WOOD seconded the amendment. Mr. BALL opposed the amendment, believing that, if it was carried, it would act most detrimentally on the education of the c0ue 4 4.7. The LORD ADVOCATE did not concur with those who thought that taxes should be levied for the purpose of religious education. Mr. A. PELLATT supported the amendment, con sidering that the parties for whose benefit the bill was introduced ought not to be allowed to tax the whole community. Mr. F. SCOTT opposed the amendment, because it was in his opinion inoperative and ineffective, and he hoped the hon. member would withdraw it. After a few words from Mr. A. HASTIE, Mr. MACGUIRE said that the Roman Catholics of Ireland were as much in favour of education as any class of her Majesty's subjects, but they objected to being taxed for the advantages of other religions. Mr. DE VERE stated that after the intimation that had been given by the noble lord at the head of the Go vernment, he should withdraw his opposition to the clause. Mr. HADFIELD having replied, the house divided upon his amendment, when there appeared— For the amendment Against it Majority against the amendment-161 The amendment was consequently lost. Mr. C. BRUCE moved to introduce words for the purpose of declaring that the Christian religion should be taught in the schools. The LORD ADVOCATE considered the amendment of the hon. member totally unnecessary, as the bill, as it at present existed, provided for all the objections of the hon. member. After some observations from Mr. SCOTT and Sir G. GaRY, the committee divided, when there appeared— For the amendment Against it The amendm en t aritYagainst the amendment... 37 Was consequently lost. Mr. SCOTT moved be that th e wor d s " super i n t en d ence of the school s shouldaltered and extended" should be amended by the substitutio n of the word " extended" for " altered."

Lord J. RUSSELL, in moving the second reading of this bill, said he would merely trouble the house with a few words as to the form in which the measure had been introduced. It was evident that when, in 1850, bills arrived in this country from the d , fferent Australian co lonies, proposing new f orms o f cons tit u ti on, t h at there I would be . great inconvenience in sending back those bills to the colonies, giving them the labour of again going through their provisions, and subjecting them to-renewed discussions. That wa, , the view taken by ber Majesty's Government at the end of the last session, when there bills were contemplated, and if the course to which be had alluded was objectionable than it was much more so at the present time, after the lapse of so many months. It had been said that another course !night have been taken, and that was to enact de noro all the provisions which were thought necessary to va rious constitutions. But in the first place, that would oave been at variance with the promise held out by Parliament in 1850, that the colonies should be allowed to deliberate by their own Legislative Governments onAthe provisions proper for their own constitntione ; and in the second place, it would have bee difficult to say what precise clauses should have been introduced into these bills, It was impossible to argue that it was neces sary to have an elective council in Victoria, and a coun cil nominated by the Crown in New South Wales —that 28,0001. should be granted toe ards public worship in New South Wales, and 50,0001. in Vi c t or i a . Wh en the council had se ttl e d these matters fer themselves, it would be sufficient authority for the Government to give their sanction. They had taken a third course, which was the practicabl e course, name l y, th at of adopting ' the bills as they had been sent from Victcria and New South Wales, c omitting those parts to which it was impossible for her Majesty to assent. Those clauses which tended to dimi nish the authority of the Crown, and certain powers granted by act of Parliament, bad been struck out of the bibs. With regard to the objection taken on a former night, that even if the Queen gave her assent those acts might be null, he considered that the last clauses of the bill were suffi cient for the purposes intended—that the acts should take effect in the colonies from the time of the Royal assent being given. (Hear, hear.) The question having been put, Mr. J. BELL said he believed the bill to be opposed to the wishes of a large number, if not a majority, of the colonists, and he therefore moved that it be read a second time that day six months. The bill in its pre rent shape had not passed the legislative council. Her Majesty's Government had thought proper to make cer tain omissions, which showed that they believed they had the power to alter it. The necessary alterations might have been made by the substitution of other clauses, and in that case he should have offered no opposition to the measure. A memorial against the bill had been signed by 13,000 of the inhabitants of the colony, and he thought it entitled to some consideration and respect. A grant of 6,0001. for public worship had received the assent of the colony, but the expiring council had made an addition of 44,0001. against the wishes of the colonists. The country had seen sufficient of the evils of religious endowments, and he thought Parliament would do extremely wrong to sanc tion the introduction of such evils into the colonies. If such a measure had been passed by a legislature properly elected, and sent over for the assent of the Crown, it would not have been objected to ; but it assumed a dif ferent aspect when Parliament was called upon to sane tion it. The colonies ought to be left to legislate for themselves, particularly on the question of religious en dowments. (Hear.) Religions strife had already com menced in consequence of the course which had been Pursued, and the Jews, numbering about 4,000, had peti tioned for a portion of the grant. If the colonists chose to bait, a bench of bishops and rabbis let them follow their own inclination, but he trusted Parliament would not take upon itself the responsibility of introducing an element of discord into the new constitution. (Hear.) Mr. MIALL seconded the amendment, believing that the measure would be productive of much heartburning and strife. Disapproving as he did of the endowment of any religions body in the colony, he should have respected the decision of those to whom the power of self-govern ment had been granted; but it should be recollected that one-third of the legislature which bad sent over the bill were nominees of the Crown. The legislative coun cil had not paid the slightest attention to the wish of the 13,000 persons whose memorial had been alluded to, but had raised the grant for religious worship from 6,0001. to 50,004 t. for all f u t ure t i me. H e should not have objected so strongly to the course which had been punted, if the Legislature had the power to alter or re peal the provisions of the act ; but to make such alter ation an absolute majority of both houses of the Legisla ture was required on the second and third readings of any bill which might be introduced for that purpose. The noble lord had stated that he respected the opinions of the colonists, but he had omitted seven clauses of the utmost importance, which entered into the very nature of the constitution, without making the slightest altera tion in accordance with the wishes and feelings of the colonists. If he bad felt at liberty to make alterations in the bill, surely he ought hot to have overlooked the wishes of the people. (Hear.) Mr. LOWE said a very good rule had been laid down, that we ought to abstain from legislating for the colonies on any matter on which they were competent to legis late for themselves. That was a very wise rule, and the converse was equally true. Whilst the Imperial Go vernment ought to refrain from legislating on subjects within the jurisdiction of the colonial assemblies, they ought to refrain from legislating on subjects within the p nu jurisdiction of the Imp er i a l Government. This m bill r roef ared Parliam ent to legislate upon a vast subjects u n d er the cognisance of the colonial legislature, and permitted the colonial legislature to lay down laws on subjects of imperial consequence. (Hear, hear.) A measure more ykiva g pria . ciP could not b e proposed, ' , ": 4 e4: 4.1 Sir J. PA.KINGTON said he had heard nothing to tnduce him to vote against the second reading of the bill. He looked on these two bills as the compl , rnent of an arrangement entered into in 1852 by the Govern ment of Lord Derby, for the purpose of meeting the ex• press wishes of the colonists on subjects in which they took a deep interest ; and he could not help thinking. that should they be rejected, except on very strong and sufficient grounds, something like great dissatisfaction would be felt by the colonists. He believed that g n tlemen connected with the colonies of Australia, now in London, were decidedly favourable to the pazsint , of these bills. The nobl e lo r d th e S ecre t ary for the'Co lonies had had a deputation of those gentlemen ; and he Sir J. Pakington had also had the honour of receiving a deputation. But a gentleman connected with the co lony of Victoria had waited on him some time ago and pointed out the objections which he entertained to this bill. From all that he could gather from that gentleman, his objections were only three. The first objection was to the terms and form in which the bill was drawn ; the second turned on the high qualification of the two c mn oils ; and the third related to the high civil list reserved in this bill for the colony of Victoria. With respect to the qualifications for the members of the council and the assembly and to the civil list, these were exclusively co l- nial questions, which should not be altered or deviated from, but assented to as proposed by the colony. The only serious objection, then, which he (Sir J. Paking ton) could entertain to these bills was the form in which they bad been drawn. He could not say that the civil list for Victoria was not very light, and, possibly, even extravagant. Hon. members referred to 50,0001. for public works, but that was the last part of the civil list that should be objected to. He (Sir J. Pakington) was glad to see that that part of the civil last had been passed by a large majority in the colony. The hon. member for Kidderminster stated that ithe civil list amounted to 112,0001., whereas in the year 1849.50 the whole revenue of the colony was only 113,0001. This was not so much a proof of an extravagant civil list as it was an illustration of the extraordinary progress made by the colony in that time. In 1834, the present Lord Aberdeen, as Secretary of State for the Colonies, was applied to be some bold adventurers, and asked if they might found a colony at Port Philip, and his answer was that it was not the policy of England to extend her colonies, and he re fused his assent. In the following year Lord Glenelg wss applied to by these adventurers, and he likewise refused. (No, he assented.) Well, at last the request was granted, and happily these bold adventurers were allowed to esta blish the colony, and now, after twenty years, the house was discussing the question whether or not they should have a civil list of 112,0001. per annum. That was a proof of the extraordinary development of this colony. (Hear, hear.) Should the house take on itself to decide the civil list, it would adopt a very irritating and unwise course. H e un d erstood the hon. membr for Kidderminster to say that in re-enacting these acts passed by the colonial legislature, Parliament should not allow this civil list ; but the course taken by the Government was wiser—not to interfere with the act, except as to that part of it which interfered with the prerogative of the Crown. The main objects of these bills were two, to give to the colonies the managem en t o f th e i r own waste lands, and to confer on them an improved constitution, consisting of two chambers instead of one. The hon. member for Kidderminster had himself recorded his vote in favour of two chambers, and he had moved for a com mittee of inquiry into the management of waste lards in the colony. There was a declaration and a remonstrance adopted by the legislature of New South Wales in :851, the prayer of which Lord Grey refused, and the new legislature sent ithome. repeated e e. that The Government declaration Lord rd Derby e remonstrance, rhy and considered it their duty to give their attention to these representations, and they also felt it their duty to assent to the prayer of the legislature of New South Wales. They conceded the double chamber in the furm in which it was asked. The hon. member for Kidder minster had on a former occasion said that he (Sir J. Pakington) had then given his consent to the proposi tion respecting the waste lands as a bribe to induce the colonists to accept a nominated chamber, but he could assure the hon. member he had had no such motive. He did not deny that his opinion was in favour of a nomi nated iu preference to an elective upper chamber, and he thought that if men of property, ability, and station were content ar 4 d willing to accept seats for life in the upper chamber t , they would form Si council as nearly as pos. Mr. LOWE,on rising to move as an amendment that the bill should ie read a second time that day six months, said that almosi all the objectiors taken by him to the bill just dispoEid of applied with equal force to the mea sure before thehouse ; but as the house had not thought them of sufficieit weight to arrest the progress of the former bill hewould not repeat them, and would pro ceed at once testate the reasons why lie thought the house should rot proceed further with this measure. The nosition tltt he should endeavour to establish was that the legislaive council by whom the bill was passed did not represelt the colonists in a practical sense--that the bill was not passed for the interests of the colonists, but for certain other interests—that the constitution sent home for fiat house to enact was not the primary object of the bil —and that it was secondary to another and ulterior ohect, namely, to obtain for a certain por tion of the colorists of New South Wales the absolute possession andownership of immense tracts of land. He begged to call attention to circumstances that had taken place with re--sect to the occupancy of crown lands sub sequent to theyear 1844, and to the demand for leases which had ben made by persons possessed of large graz ing establishnents. He informed the house that a cry was raised in ;heir behalf, and by the feeling which was evoked under the impression that the Government were ill-treating tlem they succeeded in taking from their fellow-colonists the greater part of the waste lands of the colony. In :847 an azt was passed giving those gentle men certain rights for life in those lands, and the right also to purchase the land of which they obtained leases ; but the ownerships thus created were of a very ambigu ous character, and the question as to whether the lease should be turned into an absolute ownership of the soil, or degenerate into a tenantcy at will, entirely depended , upon the assistance they could give to the Home Govern ment. In 1850, the noble lord the member for London brought in a bill to give the Australian colonists a con stitutian, and he (Mr. Lowe), having then arrived in Eng land, suggested that those individuals should be repre sented in the colonial legislature. The act did not give the power of making the new council to the then exit ing legislature, but it empowered the then legislative council to pass a new electoral act for the new council. To that circumstance he traced the evils with which they would have to deal on that night. He (Mr. Lowe) was, as he had already said, the person who recommended that those squatters should have representatives ; but he thought, at the same time, that if they got three mem bers out of 36 representatives, they would be adequately represented ; whereas the legislative council gave them eight members. The rest of the representation was con ceived in the same spirit, and such an enormous pre ponderance was given to the pastoral districts that it was quite clear they were completely paramount in the legislature. (Hear.) The legislature which had created the council agreed to ,what was called a petition and remonstrance, which was sent to the Home Government, and in it they said that, in order that her Majesty's Government might have no excuse for a continuation of abuses they were prepared to surrender the whole of the revenue, territorial and general, on the establish- Ment of a council similar to that of Canada. The word " Canada" in that document was made the groundwork for fixing upon them this constitution, but several of the gentlemen who voted for the proposition were in favour of an electoral upper chamber. He would now come to the election of the constituent body whose constitution they were discussing that night. The old council having ceased to exist, the new one came to be elected, and it was to be expected that care and attention would be ob served in the proceedings ; but there was nothing of the kind. He could state on the authority of a gentleman who had mentioned the fact to him, that the question of an elected or nominated upper house was never men tioned by the candidates except one. Those who ap peared as candidates knew so little of the duties they had undertaken, and the people knew so little about the matter, in consequence of the recent change, that no appeal was made respecting the form of govern ment the council was to establish. The council, having been elected, appointed a committee ie the year 1853 to consider this question of a constitution, and on the 28th of July they presented a report, which was laid before the house in a blue book. The act of establishing a constitution passed in face of numerous petitions against it, agreed to at public meetings. A ll the elections, with but a single exception or so, were in favour of the elec tive council. Sir William De nison 's answer to the ad dress presented by the coloni s ts for a dissolution of the council shortly after his arri val, clearly showed that regarded the public opinion of the colony as beinget:ye decid edly adverse to the bill, an d in favour of the elective he principle. The deputation which waited upo . n the no e lord the other day, respectably composed as it was, con- Mr . . HADFIELD said, under these circumstances, he would not press the bill. The order for the second reading was then discharged. The National Gallery, &c. (Dublin), Bill was read a third time and passed. The Public Libraries and Museums (Ireland) Bill was read a third time and passed. The Places of Religious Worship Registration Bill was also read a third time and passed. The Absconding Debtors (Ireland) Bill passed throvgh committee. The Insurance on Lives Abatement of Income Tax Continuance Bill was read a third time and passed. SCHOOLS (SCOTLAND) BILL. Mr. STIRLING moved the postponement of the second reading of this bill to the 11th of July. Mr. CRAUFURD moved as an amendment that the second reading be postponed three months. After a conversation the amendment was withdrawn, and the second reading was postponed to the 11th of July. _ The CinquePorts Bill was read a third time and passed. The Burial Ground (Scotland) Bill, as amended, was considered, and the third reading was fixed for Thursday next. SPIRI TS' OF WINE BILL.
