The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. Lord CAMPBELL presented several petitions from Sootland in favour of a total prohibition of the sale of spirituous liquors on the Lord's-day. The Marquis of SALISBURY begged to call the at tention of the noble lord the Secretary at War to the supply of water in the neighbourhood of the camp at Al dershott, and the consequent inconvenience suffered by the troops in that quarter. He was understood to ask whether her Majesty's Government had taken any mea sures to remedy the evil to which he had alluded. Lord PANMURE said it was quite true that the Water in the neighbourhood referred to was very deficient. Every exertion was, however; made by sinking wells in different parts of the camp, from which water is now being derived aided by the appropriation of a stream three-quarters of a mile distant the evil complained of would be entirely reme died. Ile was happy to say, in consequence of a report he had lately received from General Knowles, the officer in command, he had every reason to believe that the health of the troops was most excellent. Lord BROUGIIAM presented a great many petitions against the sale of intoxicating drink on Sundays. SECOND READING. On the motion of Lord REDESDALE the Maryport and Carlisle Railway Bill was read a second time. THIRD READINGS, The following bills were severally read a third time and passed : —Commercial Road, Kingston-upon-Hull, 'Jessie and Ferriby Road, Abingdon Railway, Ashton under-Lyne Water, Nottingham and Loughborough Read, Manchester Improvement, and Renfrew Police and Improvement_ Lord CAMPBELL referred to the custom of confining troops to barracks during the assizes, under an order from the Commander-in-Chief. He (Lord Campbell) could not see the policy of that order, and he hoped that the hon. and gallant officer would not continue the practice. Lord HARDINGE said that it was a very old prac tice in this country to issue such orders. In Ire End, however, the practice was altogether different. Durioff the assizes in the sister country the troops were actually marched from barracks to the neighbourhood of the court-house. The noble lord was understood to say that he would take the matter into consideration. RELIGIOUS WORSHIP BELL, The Earl of SHAFTESBURY, in moving that the report upon the amendments in the bill be re ceived and agreed to, addressed the house in explanation of the provisions of the bill, which were t improve the opportunities of the people to attend their places of worThip on Sunday. The noble earl referred to- certain statistical statements with the view of show ing the proportions of the population that at tended divine service on the Sabbath, and the lamentable fact that the vast body never thought of attending religious worship at all. The object of this bill was to repeal the 22d of Gen. 111., which forbade the assemblage of more than twenty per sons for the purpose of religious worship in private houses. He rejoiced to have an opportunity of bearing his testimony to the incalculable value of the London City Mission. The order, decency, and efficiency of that mission were most admirable. They bad more than 400 agents who were engaged every day diving into the recesses of vice and misery. Where misery existed there was sure to be found one of those City Missionaries. In his conscience be believed that the peace of the metropen., in the eventful year of 1348 was saved mainly through the united exertions of the London City Mission in con junction with the Church of England. (LEFT SPEAKING.) fIOI7SE OF COMMONS.-(THIS DAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. The Lords' amendments to the Llynvi Valley and Bridgend Railway Bill were considered. The following bills were read a third time and passed •. —Gun-barrel Proof Houses (Birmingham and London), Londonderry and Coleraine Railway, East of Fife Rail way, and Great Northern London Cemetery. The Dagenham Docks Bill was considered and ordered to be read a third time. STANDING ORDERS REVISION. Mr. WILSON PATTEN moved the nomination of the following select committee, to revise the standing orders :—Mr. Wilson Patten, Mr. Henley, Mr. Bou verie, Mr. Fitzroy, Mr. Sotheron, Mr. Evelyn Denison, Sir W. Heathcote, Mr. Greene, Mr. Strutt, Sir Robert Ferguson, Mr. Brotherton, Lord Stanley, Mr. Tatton Egerton, Mr. Bonham Carter, and Mr. Ewart :—with power to send for persons, papers, and records ; five to be the quorum. Agreed to. VALIDITY OF' PROCEEDINGS (HOUSE OF COMMONS) BILL. This bill was read a second time and ordered to be read a third time this evening. METROPOLIS LOCAL MANAGEMENT BILL. The house went into committee on this bill, commenc ing with clause 69 postponed from yesterday morning's sitting. Clauses up to 75 were agreed to. On clause 76, Sir B. HALL introduced an amendment to the effect that the owners or builders of new streets should in the first instance be obliged to put those streets into a pro per state of repair and pavements, and subsequently that should be dose by the local authorities. After some remarks by Mr. HENLEY and Sir H. WILLOUGHBY, The clause as amended was agreed to. Clauses 78 and 79 were also agreed to after some amendments. The effect of the latter clause is to pre vent gas companies from selecting particular streets in a parish to light, but compels them to light the whole of a district or none. Clause 80 was expunged. Clauses 81 to 86 were agreed to after amendments. Clauses 87 and 88 were expunged. Clauses 89 to 97 were agreed to. Clauses 98 to 111 were agreed to. On clause 112 some dismission, in which Mr. Henley, Lord R. Grosvenor, Lordt Ebrington, Sir B. Hall, Sir H. Willoughby, and Mr. Williams took part, arose as to the limitation of powers of parochial authorities, but it was eventually agreed to as amended. Clauses 113, 114, and Ll 5 were agreed to without any discussion. Clause 116 was agreed to with a few verbal amend ments. Clause 117 was adopted without discussion. On clause 113 being pat, which gave protection to the water companies of the nie tropolis, some discussion took place, and several amendments were proposed. Mr. Alderman CHALLIS objected to the clause, con sidering that the water companies of the metropolis were sufficiently secure, and required no protection. If the clause was persevered in as proposed to be amended, he should certainly give it his decided opposition.. After some further discussion the amendments were -withdrawn, and the clause as originally proposed was ordered to stand part of the) bill. Clauses up to 123 were agreed to without material amendments. On clause 124 being put,: Sir H. WILLOUGHBY said that it was objection able, inasmuch as it would call upon all parishes to pay their rates in a lumping snio.i. Mr. WILLIAMS was airraid that the clause would greatly interfere with the ric hts of electors. Sir B. HALL said that ht t bad been advised that the clause would not interfere with the rights of electors, inasmuch as the public officers of any parish might, if they chose, make these rates payable at a time that would not interfere with the rights of electors. Mr. HENLEY deprecated any rate being made on one sum. They might be very well for persons of capi tal, but with respect to the poor man it was a very dif erent question. Sir B. HALL consented to the amendment of the clause, so as to prevent the evil complained of. The clause was then agreed t o . The house then resumed. The CHAIRMAN reported pr ozreas, and obtained leave to sit again on Thursday, at 12 o'clock. The house adjourned shortly before four to six o'clock. The house ad;ourned at 6 o'clock. j PETITIONS. Mr. Cowan presented a petition from two places in Scotland, in favour of the Lord Advocate's Bill for Edu. cation. Petitions were ali“o presente:l by Capt. from Bath, in favour of the Sunday Trading Bill ; by Mr. Sch.lefield, from the vi'orking-men of the metropo lis, in favou r o f opening the National Gallery and Bri tish Museum o n Sunday• and by Mr. Williams, from the clerZY and architects' of Lambeth, in favour of the repeal of the B•er Act of last session.__.

The Right Honourable the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade and Plantations have received a Despatch from her Majesty's Consul at Rotterdam, en closing a Notice to Mariners, issued by the Netherlands Minister of Marine, a translation of which is subjoined. a (Copy) MARINE DEPORTMENT. NOTICE TO MARINERS. The Minister of Marine hereby gives notice, that in con sequence of the depth of water on the Westplaat, situated between the beaconed channels of the mouths of the North and West Maese, having been found to equal the depth of water in those mouths, the following buoys will be taken up on the first suitable opportunity after the 15th of June next, namely : The white buoys, Nos. 1 and 2, of the North Maese, and the black buoys, Nos. 1,2, and 3, of the West Maese, by which measure this whole expanse of water will become one channel. The outer white buoy will then be situated about one and a half cable lengths to the N.W. of the spot where that of the West Maese pow lies in these courses. The steeple of Goederede a handspike's length to the east of the large wood, and the steeple of Brielle two ships' lengths to the eastward of Oostvoorne ; in bearing— Goedereede S. S. W. Brielle S.E. by E. in 50 palms' depth of water. Somewhat to the N.W. on so called West-plant, a wreck-buoy will be placed to indicate a sunk wreck, the masts of which remain about 15 palms below low water mark ; the wreck buoy will be painted in black and white checks, in the following courses : The steeple of Brielle in the easterly white spot of the high sand hill, and the high steeple of Delft, in a small wood to the east of Steilduin, in bearing S.W. S. (Gode reede), S.E. a E. (Brielle), in 24 palms' depth of water. And further that the white buoy, No. 4, lying dry inside the shallow, will be placed 1i cable lengths more to the S.S.W. in this course. The steeple of Maasland a little to the north of the stone beacon, in 29 palms' depth of water. In consequence of this change in the buoys, the lights of the Maese will be so regulated as to illuminate the entire span of the horizon of this channel from north to west, that being the situation of the black boys lying from the north side to the N.W. W., whereas the white buoys are situated on the south side. The bearings mentioned above have been taken by un adjusted compass, and the soundings at ordinarily low water. The Hague, 26th May, 1855. The Minister aforesaid, (Signed) DE SHIT V. D BROECKE. BOARD OF TRADE, WHITEHALL, JUNE 12. The Right Hon. the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade and Plantations have received, through the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, a copy of a de spatch from her Alajesty's Minister at Rio do Janeiro, iuclosing the translation of an extract from a report of the Head of the Pilotage Department of Rio Grande do Sul, relative to the state of the Bar at that port, copies of which are s übj oi aed. . IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS—(YESTERDAY.) THE IRISH PEERAGE. The Earl of DERBY rose to call the attention of the house to the circumstances attending the creation of the barony of Fermoy. The noble earl said thht the peerage had been created to serve political purposes, and de- I scribed the exercise of the prerogative as a contravention of the Act of Union. It was very singular that the first of the three vacancies which gave rise to the new crea tion should have fallen vacant so far back as 1802, and that in all the successive creations which had taken place since that time, amounting to fifteen or sixteen, no one bad ever dreamed of the earldom of Mountrath being vacant, so as to give the Crown a right to create a new peer. It was somewhat cur i ous , remem b er i ng th a t th e right of creating a peer accrued to the Crown at the ex piration of one year from the death of the last of the three peers, that the two last peerages which perfected the title of the Crown to create a new peer became vacant on the 26th and 29th of January, 1853, consequently that the right of the Crown accrued in January, 1854, and yet that it was not until the end of March, 1855, that the Government exercised the right which clearly belonged to them, according to their own interpretation of the Act of Union in the beginning of 1854. The noble earl concluded by moving that the circumstances of the creation of the barony of Fermony be referred to a com mittee of privileges. Earl GRANVILLE agreed with the noble earl that the question was one of great impoitance to the house, as affecting its privileges, and also as involving the pre rogative of the Crown. He was quite willing to as sent to the motion to refer it to the committee of privi leges. Lord ST. LEONARDS thought the Government were seriously to blame for the course they bad pursued on this occasion, even if they had deemed themselves in the right. Lord BROUGHAM said the motion had been adopted by the house without any difference of opinion, and he asked their lordship to consider the position in which they would be placed if the discussion was to be con tnued. The LORD CHANCELLOR—His noble and learned friend was altogether wrong if he supposed that in the few observations which he (the Lord Chancellor) was about to address their lordships he meant in the slightest degree to diverge from the very wholesome rule his noble and learned friend had laid down, and which his other noble and learned friend (Lord St. Leonard's) com menced by stating that he should follow, though the whole tone of his speech was eminently, in point of prac tice, at variance with the principle on which he set out. He by no means wished to say that his noble and learned friend had not taken a right view of the law ; but upon that point he must reserve to himself the exer cise of the most unbiassed and unfettered judgment when the case came judiciallybefore him. He trusted that their lordship', and especially the law lords, would, when they came to Wear the arguments upon the ques tion, decide calmly and dispassionately, looking at all the clauses of the Act of Union, and that nothing which had passed to-night would tend to prejudice the right of any party. Lord ST, LEONARD'S.—According to this method poor Lord Fermoy would have to battle the case in order to try the rights of the Crown. (Hear, hear.) Lord CAMPBELL said the Earl of Derby was justi fied in proposing his motion, as years might perhaps elapse before Lord Fermoy caine forward and made his claim. The motion was then agreed to. LEASES AND SALE OF SETTLED ESTATES BILL. The house having gone into committee on this bill, Clauses up to 10 were agreed to, On clause 11, The Earl of DERBY moved to omit the words " the whole or," his object being to deprive the Court of Chancery of the power of ordering the sale of the whole estate--which he thought would be a most dangerous power to give the court. The LORD CHANCELLOR said the noble earl took a very extreme view of the matter. The intention was to enable the Court of Chancery to sell such portions of the estate as it might deem neces' , ary, with the view of improving the property tfonerally. The Earl of WICKLOW reminded their lordships that the great object cf the measure was to provide against the necessity of an application to Parliament for a bill to empower the sale of every estate, as was heretofore necessary. He thought that the omission of the words referred to would probably mar the object which they had in view. The committee having divided, there appeared for the amendment— Contents Nan-contents Majority against the amendment —4 The clause was then agreed to, as were the remaining clauses, and the bill passed through committee. BRIGHTON INCORPORATION BILL. This bill was read a second time. Their lordships adjourniid at ten minutes past nine. HOUSE OF COMMONS—(YESTERDAY.) EDUCATION (No. 2) BILL. The order of the day for resumin'g the debate on this bill, which had teen adjourned on the 2d of May, having been read. Mr. ADDERLEY resumed the adjourned debate. He replied to the argument 3 Mr. Henley had used at ainkt the bill, and cmdetnted the assumption of the right hon. gentleman that schools established on the system of this bill must necessarily be irreligious in their character. He did not attach much importance to the statistical dispute whether the number of children educated was one in eight or one in nine, but he thought no one could be acquainted with the condition of the poorer classes without knowing that there was a lamentable want of education. He admitted that the Continental system of education had failed in acting upon the morals of the people, but he traced the reason of this to the system of State patronage on which the Continental schools were founded, and argued that no conclusion could be drawn from this against a system of local ratin g by which the people would pay for their own education. He was for re jecting Mr. M. Gibsol's bill, but he believed that the bills of Sir J. Pakington and Load J. Russell were iden tical in principle; hni, upon the whole, he preferred the religious clauses of the right honourable baronet to those of the noble brd. He believed, however, that if both bills were sent to a select committee, a valuable measure might be compounded out of them. In conclu sion, he urged upon the extreme parties en all sides to accept the practical and practicable compromise which was now offered then. .Alin E. DENISO objected to the plan of sending, these bills to a select committee, as one unworthy of Parliament. On the general question he called the at tention of the house to the present phase of the educes tion question, as showing the difficulties encountered in the progress of the work. It appeared that the pupil teachers, trained at great expense by the State, were found in great numbers to desert the work of education for commercial pursuits, while, on the other hand, the children were sent to school at an earlier age than for merly, and were sooner taken away for work, so that the necessity began to be pressed upon the school in spectors of having a compulsory system of educa tion. His own opinion inclined in that direction, for he could not understand why a country gentle man should be allowed to employ uneducated children while a manufacturer was forbidden to do so. Another argument in favour of this plan was that when industry and education were carried on together, the tendency was to improve both, as any hon. gentleman teight see by a visit to that most interesting institution, Price's Candle Factory? Lord J. MANNERS rose very reluctantly to oppose the bill, which he said would not meet the great difficulty of educating poor and populous districts. The difficulty at present was to raise subscriptions in these districts ; and how would that be met by leaving it to the option of these parties, as the bill proposed, whether they would rate themselves or not. Neither would it have any effect in compelling the attendatice of children at school, though it was reported on the authority of Mr. Moseley that of every 100 children in England fifty-seven absented themselves • from school for no assignable reason but the indifference of their pa rents. He objected further to the bill that even if it were passed it would not be found to work. English society was at present convulsed from one end to the other on the subject of church rates, which had a pre scription in their favour of more than a thousand years ; and he could not believe that the people would patiently submit to this new education rate. He ob jected also to the machinery provided for in this bill, which seemed calculated to introduce endless confusion and religious bickering into all the parishes of England ; in this respect he said he preferred the Manchester bill to both the other two, as the simplest and most straight forward of the three ; but he hoped the house would deal one vigorous blow, and reject them all. Mr. W. J. FOX argued that the effect of this bill would exercise a beneficial effect upon the indifference of the people towards education ; for when people were rated for an object of which they were to have the con trol, they were sure to take a deeper interest in the ques tion than they had done before. He supported the send ine of all these bills to a select committee, on the ground of many features which they had in common, and regretted that Mr. Adderley was in favour of excluding the Manchester scheme. He thought the time had now come when all the parties in the country felt they must give up their extreme views on the question, to agree to some compromise, and to put an end to the present transitional condition of the question. Sir J. PA KINGTON rose to address the house under very great disadvantages. He did not not impute any blame to the Government. On the contrary he had re ceived from them every possible courtesy and kindness. But he thought there must be something wrong in a mode of proceeding in which an assembly could adjourn a mat ter of such vital importance, and six weeks should elapse before the debate could be resumed. He wished now to take the first, opportunity of answering the able and remarkable speech delivered by his right hon. friend (Mr. Henley) six weeks ego. His right hon. friend avowed that he was replying to his (Sir J. Pakington's) speech. Now his answer to his right hen. friend was this—that he either omitted or evade ellthe stroc ;eet points on which he (Sir J. Pakington replied in introducing this bill. The noble lord near him (Jord J. Manner) had followed the course taken by hie right hon. friend. They did not object to one bill or another bill, but contended that no change was required. His right hon. friend said, " Beware hew you adopt a system which is produc ing such g ood eff e cts ; it has not failed, is not f ai li ng , an d will not fail." Now, that was the proposition with which r fi e r n s i t ai d n ut i y n o their lef2i pre i a he (Sir J. Pakington) had to grapple, and which he in tended to contravene ; and he contended that if Parlia m sent en t s c t o at n e s , en th te e ( y i twooaulll would abandon rnat matters tl rst ] to remain tors, The question at issue was not to be d ec id e d by sta tistics of Austrian crime to which his right l ion f r i en d had TEE SIIN s LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 12, 1855, (Copy) Bic. ito Janeiro, April 13, 1855. My Lord,—l have the honour of transmitting herewith an extract, in copy and translation, from a report of the Head of the Pilotage Department of Rio Grande do Sul, relative to the state of the bar at that port,- which has been communicated to me by the Brazilian Minister for Foreign Affairs, Viscount Abnete, iu a circular note, dated the 10th instant. The information contained in this extract, and which his Excellency appears to wish should be made known to foreign commerce relates to the draught of water which should not be ex ceeded by vessels frequenting the port of Rio Grande in the present state of the Bar. In the same note Viscount Abaete acquaints me, that his Majesty the Emperor has sent Lieutenant. -Colonel Jer din, of the Engineers, to Rio Grande, to study and pro pose the means which may be employed for satisfying the want experienced by that province, of a permanent and accessible entrance to the vessels employed in commerce with it; and that the Imperial Government awaits the re port of that officer in order to take measures which may tend to facilitate that commerce. Having communicated to Viscount Abaete, for the con sideration of the Imperial Government, the copy of a letter transmitted to me by Mr. Consul Vereker, which was addressed on the 15th ultimo, to the President of the province of Rio Grande do Sul, by the prinoipal members of the oonouler body at that port, suggesting various ame liorations in the arrangements concerning the bar, his Excellency has repeated to me in a note, dated the 11th irmtant, his above-mentioned statement r&ative to Colonel Jardine'e mission, aiding that he is persuaded that the latter officer will not fail to take into due consideration the measures proposed in that representation.—l have, &c, (Signed) HENRY F.

It must be decided on the state of facts in this country, by an appeal to evidence, by the truth. On a former occasion he (Sir J. Pakington) drew a comparison between the state of crime in England and in Austria as compared with the population, stating, however, that he would only have it for what it was worth. His right hon. friend applied his miscroscopic eyelto Mr. Kaye's tables, and discovered that the tables did not include what he called summary convictions. Now, his right hon. friend was quite right in the view he then took on the subject ; but he had omitted to notice one error into which he (Sir J. Pakington) had fallen. On that occasion he stated the number of summary convictions in England to have been 35,000 in the year to which he referred, but on look ing at the reports of the inspectors of prisons he found the number to be 60,000. On referring to the statutes of crime in Denmark and Holland, he found that in Den mark the amount of convicted crime was very much less than in England, and in Holland it was less than in Eng land, but not in so large a ratio. Hie right hon. friend had not only accused him of error with regard to the tables of crime, but had also stated that the proportion ofpersons at school in Austria was not so great as in England. Now, he (Sir J. Pakington) held in his hand official papers on this subject, which showed that in the Austrian empire —in cluding Hungary, Lombardy. and some other provinces—. taking a population of 18,000,000 as against the same population in England, the number of persons attend ing schools was in the proportion of 1 in 8 of the popu lation. Now, his right hon. friend made his comparison in a most unfair manner, for he took the state of educa tion in Austria in 1846, whilst with respect to England he availed himself of the census of 1851. (Hear.) He had shown that in England, deducting children of very tender age, the number of children not attending school was nearly 1,000,000, being a third less than in Austria. What he had contended was, that in this great matter of education England was lagging behind the rest of the civilised world. The only countries behind her being Italy, Spain, and the slave states of America. He had not referred to Austria alone,. but to Denmark, Holland, Wurtemberg, Prussia, Bavaria, and above all Switzer land and the free states of America. All these nations were ahead of us, and the state of education in Eng land was less satisfactory than in any of them. But after all the main question related to the state of edu cation at home. He had been accused of exaggeration in his former statement, but he altogether denied the justice of this charge. The first of the etatement he had made alluded to the condition of eight metropolitan parishes, four north and four south of the Thames. In those eight parishes there were about 110,000 children, of whom 47,000 were not at school at all. His next statement referred to five counties in the west of Eng land, and he made it on the authority of Mr. Ruddock, the inspector. His statement was, that the workhouse children between 10 and 15 could neither read nor write, were completely ignorant of religion, and scarcely knew that there was a God in Heaven. Kis right hon. friend (Mr. Henley) supposed that this statement referred to only about 6,750 children, but he forgot that this was a constantly fluctuating body, and that these children came from every part of the unions to which they belonged. From a letter written by Mr. Ruddock, in reference to the construction placed upon his testimony in his right hon. friend's speech, it appeared that this state of things was not confined to five counties, but extended over as many more. His next statement referred to the condition of ignorance in which the militia of the eastern counties were found to be. This statement was founded on the report of the Rev. Mr. Mitchell, the in spector, which stated that in five regiments, including about 6,000 men, two-thirds were unable to sign their own names. His right hon. friend objected that these were men of only 20 years of age, and that the fact could only illustrate the state of education five or six years ago. On applying to Mr. Mitchell he found that his opinion was that the progress of education was so slow as to be almost imperceptible, and that the state of the existing agricultural schools was such as to hold out little hope that any amendment would take place during the next 8 or 10 years—that many of the sclioel-houses were in a condition almost ruinous, and that the schoolmas ters were often men of low moral tone and rude manners. In reference to the use he had made of the reports of Mr. Clay, chaplain of Preston gaol, his right hon. friend had sneered at his predilection for stereotyped re ports, He had taken the year 1849, when Mr. Clay stated that out of every 100 children of the criminal population filling the gaol and house of correction, 41 per cent. did not know the name of the Saviour, 67 per cent, did not know the name of the months of the year, 61 per cent. did not know the Queen's name, and 62 per cent. were quite ignorant of the distinction between virtue and vice. The question was, were these things true ; and if sa, what could be said of the state of educa tion prevailing in England. He had received extracts from Mr. Clay's report, yet unpublished, for 1854, from which it appeared that the same state of things con tinued unchanged. He bad obtained similar state meets from Mr. Gregory, relative to the county gaol I of Lancaster ; Captain 'Willis, relative to that of Man chester ; and also relative to the gaols of Durham and Sussex. He contended that the gaol class, as it was called, was a fair sample of the labouring class generally, and there could be no doubt that amongst the working classes of the agricultural community the same dense ignorance prevailed. He had been sorry to hear the appeal made by his right honourable friend against levy ing a tax or rate on real property for the purposes of edu cation. His proposition was to levy a rate of 6d. in the pound, and that an equal amount should be contri buted for the maintenance of the schools out of the con colidated fund. Ho would regard a Minist r who would hesitate to propose grants for education in the same light as a landowner who refused to advance for drainage. It was far better to expend money on schools than on gaols and workhouses, and the funds so invested would yield a return to the State in rearing up an active and useful population. He was happy to be abla to quote the authority of Sir James Kay Shuttleworth in favour of his proposal of a local rate to be applied for public ob jects. In the volume of Minutes of Inspectors, lately published, be found additional testimony in support of his views. Amongst others, Mr. Kennedy strongly en forced the necessity of additional finds to support our education establishments. He need not refer to the numberless testimonies to the same effect from all ranks of the clergy, but he could not resist mentioning as a strong example of the necessity of measures being taken to remedy the present deficiencies, that he had received a letter from the Rev. Mr. Ellis, of Burslem, in Staffordshire, informing him that in his parish, containing 7,000 inhabitants, three school-eooms had been closed for w ant of funds during 5 years past. He had applied to the committee of council to obtain some particulars of the applications made by the clergy in support of their parochial schools. He found that there were 32 applications, in which the incumbents had been obliged to support their schools by yearly contri butions varying from 41. to 741., and averaging 261. each. Out of 118 applications for the first three months of the present year, there were 34 in which this defi ciency appeared to have been made up the incumbent, in addition to his ordinary subscription. He was in formed also that 100 letters had been sen , t. ! in to the Church of England Society by clergymen who urged their inability to support their parochiarschools. No one who looked at such facts could fail to be con vinced that some extraneous aid was necessary, and from what source could it be obtained, except from such a rate as he had suggested. His right hon. friend said that his proposal would have the effect of pauper ising English education, but he should like to ask if simi lar measures had been attended by this result in Massa chusetts and other American States, in Holland, in Switzerland, and in Scotland ? It had been complained that his bill contained no compulsory provision for secur ing attendance, but he considered that it would be pre mature to attempt any enactments of the sort until there were more schools for the children to go to, and until they were in a working condition. But he denied that his bill would not have a tendency to meet this evil. Its first result would be to improve our schools, and we might reasonably hope that the attendance weeld in crease. That this result would occur appeared from the case of Lochabers, in Scotland, where the school was in excellent condition, and the inspector, Mr. Gordon , stated that it was attended by 1 in 4 during the winter months, and 1 in 5 during the summer. Similar statements were made by Mr. Kennedy relative to the school in Rochdale. In the parish of King's Sombre, an entirely agricultural parish, with a population of 1,100, in consequence of the clergyman having succeeded in establishing a thorotighly good national school, the attendance embraced 21 chil dren from that parish and 53 from adjoining ones. Thus more than one-sixth of the population were at school. The poor manifested an earnest desire to obtain the benefits of education. In this school there was an in stance of the mixing of the children of farmers and la bourers. '152 of the pupils were children of labourers, and 70 of farmers and tradesmen. At present he be lieved that no class of the community stood more in need of improved means of education than did the middle class—farmers and tradesmen, who paid very high prices for a very bad article, and one effect which heanticipated from a system of free schools supported by rates was that the children of farmers and labourers would receive their elementary education together. An hon. friend of bison the other side of the house had succeeded in bring ing these classes together in a school in his neighbour hood. His right hon. friend (Mr. Henley) had said that this bill ignored the existence of the clergy ; such would not be its effect, because itrecognised all existing schools and in these the action of the clergy would continue to be precisely such as it was at present. His right hon. friend had also objected to the substitution of parishes' for districts, but than arrangement was necessitated by the various sizes of parishes, owing to which, while in some cases you could require but one school for five or six parishes, in others you would require five or six schools for one parish. His light hon. friend had compared this plan to that adopted in the United States, and had said that it must end in the secular system. The plan in the United States, however, was, that there should be no re ligious teaching in any school, while his plan was that eachschool should have a t!istinciivereligious character, therefore it was very illogical for his right hen. friend to say that it must end in the secular system. It was the system which was adopted in Scotland, where Roman Catholic children were admitted to Protestant /school and as no evil consequences had resulted from it in that country, there was no reason to apprehend that any such would flow from its adoption in England, where, in fact, it was already adopted at the school at Birming ham, at a school at Wallingford, and in other instances. The only danger that the secular system should be I adopted would arise from the pressure of extreme views on the part of the Church. There was danger that if a moderate system of this kind was not adopted by Par liament, and was rejected by the Church party, the , public feeling would demand some improvement of edu cation, and those who were sensible of its defects would , he driven to adopt the secular system. His right hon. friend asked where the children of Jews and Roman Catholics were to be taught religion. That responsi bility would rest with their parents ; and he thought we might presume that if the religious scruples of a parent led him to make an objection in writing to his child being taught religion at the school .his onnocience would COURSE OF EXC.

I CENTRAL CRIMINAL COL - BT.—June 11. Louisa Harrison, a well-dressed, good-looking young woman, with an infant in her arms, surrendered o take her trial upon a charge of wilful and corrupt perjury. Counsel stated the case, which has been already pub lished in our police reports. The prisoner, some time ago, swore, on the trial of a man named Mallett, that he had entered her house, tied her hands, and robbed her, "with violence." Mallet was sentenced to death, but his sentence was commuted to transportation. Soon afterwards the prisoner brought a similar charge against another permn, and suspicion was created. Mallett re ceived a pardon, and the present prosecution was brougi t. Formal proof of the trial and conviction of the man Mallett was put in evidence, and Mr. Buckler, one of the short-hand writers of the court, produced the notes of the evidence given by the defendant upon the occasion. Her statement was to the effect that she was sitting in her room about half-past s:x o'clock on the evening of the 11th of Decem:)er with her two children, the eldest of whom was four years of age, when a man who was c irrving a bundle knocked at the door, and told her he had brought her some dressmaking work from his sister. She said that she asked him into her room, and that he immediately blew out the candle, and aaid he must have her money, and forced her pocket from her gown, and took from it 20s. in silver. The man then produced two pistols, and threatened to shoot her children if she made any noise, and then heat her with a stick, and afterwards tied her hands together with a rope, and forced her down between two chairs, in the position in which she was found by the neighbours. She said that she described the appear ance of the trr.n to a constable named Finnis, and in consequence of what he told her she went on the follow ing night, the 12th Dec., to a penny theatre in White chapel, where she saw the prisoner Mallett, and imme diately recognised him as the man who had robbed her, and she swore positively to his identity. John Harvey, a potman at the Bull tap, said that upon hearing the alarm on the evening of the 11th of Decem ber, he went into the defendant's house, and found her sitting on the knee of a man named Koster. Her hands were tied together, and she was bleeding from the temple, and seemed almost insensible. ' Cross-examined—The defendant's hands were tied tightly with two knots, and he was obliged to use his teeth to untie them. There was not the slightest ap pearance of "shamming" in the conduct of the defend ant. The oldest child of the defendant first ran into the tap and gave the alarm, by saying that a man had killed her mother. The child appeared to be very much frightened. Thomas Koster, a person employed at the Bull inn yard, said that upon hearing the alarm given by the de fendant's child he went to her house, and found her jammed in between two chairs, with blood flowing from several wounds in her head. Her hands were tied toge ther, and the last witness had some difficulty in loosening the cord. _ _ _ _ Cross-examined--The defendant's child was present, and she appeared very much frightened. From the manner the cord was tied round the wrists he did not think it possible for the defendant to have tied it herself —at all events, he (witness) could not have tied it round his own wrists in the same manner. The defendant did not appear to know him when he picked her up, and she appeared almost insensible and unconscious of what was going on. Emma Ferguson, the conk at the Bull tap, said that she saw the defendant very soon after the alarm bad been given, and assisted in bringing her to herself. Her husband was sent for, and a policeman came with him, and the defendant then made a statement of her having been robbed and assaulted by a man. In answer to a question put by Mr. Ryland, the wit ness said that she did not think any one could have put on such an appearance as that exhibited by the de fendant. Mr. J. H. Cook, a surgeon, residing in the Minories, deposed that he was called in to see the defendant on the evening in question, and found her sitting on the knee of the itness Koster, insensible and unable to speak. She was bleeding from the nose, and upon ex amining her he discovered two abrasions on the right temple, and also a contused wound on the back of the head. He was now of opinion that all these injuries might have been caused by the defendant herself. Cross-examined.—Upon the trial of the man Mallett witness was examined as a witness for the prosecution. He did not then say that the injuries might have been caused by the prosecutrix because he was not asked the question. He considered that the wound at the back of the head might have been occasioned by the defendant knocking it against some' hard substance, such as the corner of a mantel-shelf. He bad never in his experience met with a case where a person had wilfully caused her self such an injury. In his evidence at the former trial he stated that the injuries were in all probability in flicted by a stick that was found in the house, and such an instrument would certainly have occasioned them. There was blood on the stick when he saw it. If the defendant had inflicted the injuries herself by that means she must have tied her own hands afterwards. On the 11th of December he considered the defendant was three months advanced in the family way, and she had since been delivered of the child that was now in her arms. During the evening the defendant had a convulsive fit. It was undoubtedly a real one. Charles Mallett was then examined. He declared most positively that he was quite innocent of the rob bery, and said that he did not even know where the Bull Inn-yard was. Some other witnesses were then examined, who to a certain extent confirmed the statement of Mallett as to the manner in which he had passed the evening of the robbery : and this closed the case for the prosecution. The Recorder, upon the whole of the evidence that had been adduced, said it appeared to him to be insuffi cient to support the charge ; they might, in charity, come to the conclusion that the man Mallett was inno cent, and that the defendant had made a mistake as to his identity ; but he really could not see how the jury upon the facts before them could come to the conclusion that no robbery had, in point of fact, been committed, which they must do before they could convict the de fendant. A verdict of Not Guilty was accordingly taken. There was a second charge of the same kind against the defendant, but it was arranged that it should not be taken until Friday morning. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOLTSE.—Thomas Smart, a determined looking fellow, about 30 years of age, was charged before Alderman Kennedy with an impudent highway robbery on Jr. W. Young,• a plumber, residing at 23, Welling ton-street, Victoria-park, by robbing him of his watch and chain. After Mr. Young's evidence, Smart said defence that he had been out to fetch a bottle of medi cine, and was standing behind the prosecutor when a younz man in front perpetrated the robbery.—Alder man Kennedy committed the prisoner for trial. THE SUNDAY BIER BILL.-- A large meeting of the inhabitants of Halifax has been held for the purpose of giving an opinion on the Sunday Public-house Act. A motion—" That, in the opinion of this meeting, the clos ing of public-houses on Sundays is an infringement of the rights and liberties of the people,"—was carried by animmense majority. 47N be sufficiently strong to induce him to make some other I provision for its obtaining such instruction. The Dea❑ of Salisbury had in a recent 'pamphlet stated that in some schools in Wales, where there were children of, Dissenters, they learned the Church Catechism and Church doctrine, but were told by .their parents not to believe it. Which was better, that they should do that, or that the children of parents who objected to the reli gious teaching should not receive it. The only remain ing part of the bill to which he had to advert was that which had reference to the appointment of local boards. He had reason to hope that the action of those boards would tend in a great degree to remove the indif ference of parents to send their children to the schools. He hoped „that by _the exertion of those local boards they would secure a better attendance of children at the schools, and such local boards would be unc.er the conterol of a central department in London. This was not only a question of religion and of bene volence, but a political question also, - because he be lieved no danger was greater than democratic in stitutions with an ignorant and unenlightened people, They had heard of the extension of the suffrage and of popular rights, but nothing could be more dangerous than to make extensive changes of this kind. before the education of the people rendertd them fit for their en joyment. He did not bring forward this bill in rivalry to the noble lord opposite, who had shed lustre on his name by his exertions on the subject, but their duty to their country and to their God required them to remove from England the curse of ignorance. Let them bear in mind the first words of the first lesson which the Church prescribed for that day, " A wise judge will instruct his people." (Hear, hear.) Mr. HADFIELD proposed that the debate should be adjourned for four weeks. Lord J. RUSSELL proposed that the debate should be adjourned to Monday next. After some discussion, the debate, in accordance with the proposition of the noble lord, was adjourned to Monday. THE PUBLIC BUSINESS. Mr. DISRAELI suggested that it would be conve nient to the house if some understanding were come to with respect to the mode in which the public business would be carried on. On every day during that week there were to be morning sittings, but the arrangement had not been made in a formal manner. He begged hon. gentlemen would consider what would be the con sequences of having morning sittings every day. He felt he would not be able to heir a morning and even ing sitting every day, and no one, he thought, could bear the consequences of an arrangement of that kind. Last year it was a later period before they had recourse to morning sittings to enable them to carry on the business, and they only took place on Tuesdays and Thursdays. But on every day during this week im portant business was fixed for morning sittings, while business of equal interest would occupy their attention in the evenings. (Hear, hear.) On the next day the Metropolitan Improvement Bill would be taken, and in the evening there would be a motion brought forward with respect to decimal coinage. The Capitular Estate Bill was fixed for a morning sitting on Thursday, and in the evening there would be a discussion on the colonial measure of the noble lord. On Friday there would be also a morning sitting for the discussion of the Tenants' Compensation Bill, and in the evening there would be the adjourned debate on the Testamentary Jurisdiction Bill. He thought that, as a general rule, the rule of last session should not be exceeded, and that the morning sittings should take place only on Tuesdays and Thurs days. Viscount PALMERSTON said the measures that had been put down for the morning sittings during the week were measures of great importance, which could not be brought. on in the evenings; but in future he thought it would be better to adhere to the rule of last year, and to fix Tuesdays and Thursdays for morning sittings. It should be recollected that the other house had a fixed time beyond which bills could not be pro ceeded with, and it was irnportant•that measures should be carried through that house in sufficient time to bo sent to the House of Lords. Mr. DISRAELI reminded the noble lord at the head of the Government that the morning sittings last session did not commence until the 16th of June. Mr. WALPOLE complained that the Capitular Es tate Bill, a most important measure, and on which the Government had as yet expressed no opinion, had been fixed for the morning sitting on Friday. Mr. CARDWELL expressed a wish that the bill re lating to limited liability in partnership would be fixed for an early day. Mr. S. FITZGERALD was afraid that the state of affairs on Friday next would be the reverse of what had been supposed by the right hon. gentleman (Mr. Dis raeli), and that the house, instead of being exhausted by the Tenants' Compensation Bill, would pay little atten tion to that measure, and reserve itself for the evening. Lord PALMERSTON understood that the bill had been fixed for Friday, as a matter of convenience to those interested. (Hear, hear, and "No.") Some arrange ment would now be ma-le. Mr. WILSON said that in reference to the bill of the noble lord the member for Woodstock, the arrangement was, that it should he taken only in the event of 'the de hate on the Scotch Education Bill, which stood first for Thursday morning, being concluded at an early hour. Mr. HENLEY objected to proceeding with so impor tant a measure as the Scotch Education Bill at a morn ing sitting, when no member of the Government could be present. Mr. BOUVERIE wished to state that the Govern ment were fully determined to proceed with the Part nership Bills. Mr. DISRAELI said there were great objections to taking the Scotch Education Bill at a morning sitting, when no members of the Government cou'd be present. He wiihed to know whether he rightly understood the noble lord to say that the Tenants' Conmensation Bill would not be taken at a morning sitting. The noble lord had said that supply would be taken on Friday, to give an opportunity to the hon. member for Aylesbury to bring forward his motion ; that was not consistent with the statement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer that supply would not be taken till late on Friday ; if the supply was to be moved only to give the member for Aylesbury an opportunity of making his motion, be thought it would be more convenient for the house if the hon. member was allowed to make it as a substantive motion. Lord PALMERSTON said the bon. member had given notice of his motion as an amendment in going into supply, and they took it as he gave it. He could not, in the absence of the Secretary for Ireland, say when the Tenants' Compensation Bill would be taken. Mr. V. SCULtY expressedaboPe that when a day was fixed no further change would be made. The order of the day was then postponed. The Insolvency and Bankruptcy (Scotland) Bill was read a second time. The Cinque Ports Bill passed through committee. SPIRIT OF WINE BILL. In answer to Lord W. GRAHAM Mr. WILSON said that the object of the bill was to relieve a large number of manufacturers from the burden imposed on them by the present spirit laws. A mode had lately been discovered of mixing spirit of wine with naphtha so as to render it unfit for anything but manu facturing purposes.; the object of this bill was to relieve this mixture from duty. The loss of revenue would be seventy or 'eighty thousand pounds. The bill was then read a second time. STAMP DUTIES iREPEAL ON MATRICULA- TION AND DEGREES (OXFORD) BILL. On xhe order of the day for going into committee on this bill, Colonel DUNNE asked the Chancellor of the Exche queer if he was prepared to state whether he would ex teni the same privileges to the University of Dublin ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, the bill was a mere adjustment of equi ialent. The University of Oxford gave up a grant of public money, on condition of being relieved from these duties ; the same arrangement would be made with any other, Uni versity. Re found the University of Dublin did receive some public money, and be would look into the matter. The bill teen passed throuA committee. _ . The Woo'mar Forest Bill passed through committee. The Dwellings for Labouring Classes (Ireland) Bill was read o second time. The Youthful Offenders Bill was read a second time. PLACES OF RELIGIOUS WORSHIP BILL. On the report of the committee being brought up, Mr. THORNELY proposed to add the following words to the 13th clause : " And no civil right or lia bility of any person or per Sons whatever shall be in any manner affected by the neglect, past or future, to certify, record, or register any place of religiAs worship accord ing to the provisions of this or o f any other ' Sir G. GREY had no objection to the words so far as .they related to the celebration of religious worship, but they appeared to him to dispense with registration in the case of marriages. Mr. HENLEY thought the words would be prejudi cial ; and Mr. TECORNELY postponed thesubject till the third reading. The - bill was then reported. : The Railways (Ireland) Bill passed through committee pro forma. COMMITTEE OF WAYS AND MEANS. The house having gone into committee of supply, Mr. WILSON moved that the sum of 10,000,0001. be granted out of the Consolidated Fund, of the United Kingdom towards making good the supply granted to her Majesty. Arlyeed ABSCONDING DEBTORS (IRELAND) BILL. The house went into committee on this bill. On clause 1, Mr, BRADY said that he bad been taken by sur prise, as he intended to have moved on the motion for going into committee on the bill that it be committed that day six months. He believed that the bill would be productive of great o ppression in Ireland. As he could not now n:ove that the bill be read that day six months, he begged to move that the chairman report progress. Mr. DEASY said that the bill might be used in an oppressive manner in Ireland. It went much beyond the English bill in the powers it conferred. (Hear.) He therefore hoped the hon. member for Belfast would not press the bill in the absence of the right hon . . and learned Attorney-General and Solicitor-General for Ireland. Ivlr. S. FITZGERALD supported the bill, and re plied to the objections of Mr. Brady. After a conversation the motion for reporting pro gress was agreed to, and the house resumed.
