Prosecutor said—l had been yesterday on an ex cursion to Gravesend, with the teetotallers, and we did not get home till late, and then I went into the Crawley Arms for a little drop of something. Mr. Arnold—Tired of teetotalism? _ _ Prosecutor—Well, I wanted something. There were a good many of us in the excursion who had something to drink. Mr. Arnold—l dare say. Prosecutor—As I was going into the Crawley Arms, in the Fulham-road, the prisoner was at the door, and asked me if I would treat her. I gave her a little gin, and then we walked together towards my house, when all of a gulden she dropped down on the ground, and said " Ilow bad I am." I said I was very sorry, and she sai I " Oh, I am bad," and laid hold of me and pulled me to wards her. I did not think anything wrong was going on, and she kept complaining of being ill, and I was thinking what I had better do for her, when I found she had robbed me of my purse and change of hall-a,sovereign. I gave her iuto custody. Prisoner said she knew nothing of it, as she was intoxicated. Prisoner was remanded. TII ‘MES. EXTP.AORDISARY ROBBERY. —Mary Ann Burke, a woman of very loose moral, who has been a servant to females worse than herself, was brought up on remand before Mr. Benson charged with being concerned with three others not in custody, in stealing a gold charm, three gold lockets, a gold key, a linsey dress, a shawl, a woollen shirt, a handkerchief, and other property belonging to Sophia Dallamore or Delmore. The prosecutrix is a native of Germany, and her father is a paper manufacturer at Frankfort-on the-Maine. About three years ago she formed an intimacy with an English barrister who brought her to England. The intercourse led to the birth of a child, which is now being educated at the ex pense of the putative father. A separation took place, and the prosecutrix fell from one step to an other until she became a common woman on the streets, and took up her abode in that vile and dirty place Blue-gate-fields, Shadwell. The prisoner acted as servant to Dallamore and other fallen wo men in the same place. The prosecutrix in this fceted den kept up some appearances of her former respectability, had a well furnished room, and other comforts. The prisoner and others formed a plan to rob her on the 17th March last, while she was from home, and they carried it out by stripping her room of everything valuable, including all trinkets. The case was put into the hands of Police-sergeant Freeston, No. 58, but so well was the secret pre served among the infamous women who committed the robbery that it was not until Dallamore saw her own shawl on the prisoners' back that obtained a clue to the thieves. Freeston ascertained that the prisoner had pawned other things belonging to the prosecutrix, and sold the duplicates relating to them. Freeston arrested the prisoner on the 2)th of last month in Shadwell, and upon making her ac• quainted with the charge at the station-house she made the following statement, which the sergean; took down in writing. " I shall have them all in it. The young woman that has told was in the swim, and knows all about it. I suppose you will take duck-legged Donahoo, Mary M'Cree, the Con naught girl, and Molly Connor. 1 gave the ticket of a shawl to Poll Towers." After the charge was taken the prisoner said that " Poll Towers and Do nahoo got in at the window and took the things out. Short Welch and Poll Towers had the same as me. Ellen Bryan took the ticket of a shirt and took it out of pawn." Mary Ann Towers, who had been examined on a previous occasion, was called, on which the prisoner called out, "Why, Poll, you was there." Witness—I was there, but I took nothing. Mr. Benson—You was as bad as the others ; go about your business. Has the jewellery of this wretched German woman been recovered ? Sergeant Freeston—N o, sir, there is no chance of recovering a single article of the jewellery. The prisoner, in a noisy manner, said others were in the robbery as well as her. Peg Connor, the pro secutrix's own servant, brought the things out. The prisoner then protested she was outside the house all the time the room of the prosecutrix was being plundered, and only took what was given to her. Mr. Benson said a very gross act of robbery bad been committed by a gang of lawless female thieves, and their victim was of the same degraded class as themselves. Some of them were convicted thieves. It was a very bad offence indeed. He should act on the prisoner's plea of guilty, and sen tence her to be imprisoned for four months and kept to hard labour. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. BURGLARY.—Thos. Lennard, a strange-looking fellow, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with bur glariously breaking and entering the house of Mr. Wm. Thomas Barns, the Grapes Tavern, No. 52, Haymarket, and stealing some silver and copper moneys and other articles, the property of Mr. Barns. Miss Sarah Watts, assistant to Mr. Dovanos, the keeper of a café at 50, Haymarket, said 7 —About half-past three o'clock ou Sunday morning I was awoke by the noise of some one opening a window, and on getting up I saw a man trying to get into Mr. Barns' house by means of a window in the court, which runs alongside the house, but the man not being able to do so went away. Yesterday (Monday) morning, about the same time, I was again awoke by hearing a similarnoise to that I heard the morning before, and on going to my window I saw the same man as I bad seen before pull down the window of Mr. Barns' house and get in, he having no shoes or stocliings on at the time. Mr. Tyrwhitt—He understands how to do it, it appears. Are you sure the prisoner is the s.ime man ? Witness—l am. I waited a short time at the window to see what sort of head the man had, but he did not come out of the house again. I then went and woke up Mr. Dovanos, and told him that some one was getting into Mr. Barns's house, and Mr. Dovanos went round and told the police, and the police went into the house and secured the prisoner. Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner for trial to the next sessions of the Central Criminal Court. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 7, 1868. SHARE LIST.

The quarterly meeting of the shareholders took place this afternoon at the offices, Norfolk-street, Strand, Vis count ltauelagh presiding. Mr. GauSEISEN (the secretary) having real the advet tisement convening the meeting, the annexed report of the Executive Committee was submitted : 'The followin the financial yea• next, aro submit' committee in thi: ing the satisfact( ig returns for the three first quarters of LI-, which will end on the 30th September ted to thii shareholders by the executive is their sixty-third quarterly report, show ory state of the society's business : 24,213 5,834 30,047 1,255,517 17 1 The total withdrawals sine society (1852) to Lady-d.

The last share number issued to Midsummer, 1868, was No. 30,017. The estates allotted since the last Lady-day report have been the following : Clapham Junction Estate, East Surrey, Ist portion, 29th April, 18tH. Ditto, ditto, 2d portion, 24th Juno, 1868. • The executive committee have much satisfaction in being enabled to inform the members that the first portion of the above property, divided into 113 plots, was entirely dis posed of within such a short period as to justify the board in announcing a second allotment at once, the result of which has been a very large sale of the 181 plots on the second plan, which has frontages to Wandsworth-common. Bolingbroke House, with the grounds, will be reserved for the present. No time will be, however, lost in the opening up of the estate by the making of five new roads, connect ing the Battersea-rise with Wandsworth-common. The Clapham Junction Estate, from its extent and position, is adapted for sites to erect houses thereon to suit all classes of the community. The remaining allotments fcr the pre sent financial year will be Holloway Estate, on Thursday, the 16th inst. ; the Waterslade Estate, Red-hill, on the 24th ; and the Northampton Estate, on the 19th of August. These three properties will be the last allotted by the so ciety, the business of which at Michaelmas will be con fined to advances under the Benefit Building Acts, whilst the dealings in land will be carried on at the same offices by the United Land Company (Limited), which has com menced operations in purchasing estates. Considerable sales have taken place on the St. Margaret's Estates, the building on which is progressing. There are now but a few plots remaining, with frontages to the ornamental gardens, to be disposed of. The land left on hand on the Rochampton and Putney-heath Estates is now confined to a few plots. The roads on the Malvern Link and Sandoz=.•u (Isle of Wight) Estates have boon completed. It is ex pected that the works on the fourth portion of the Round Hill Estate, Brighton, on the second portion of the Forest Gate Estate, and the Finchley Estate, No. 2, will all be completed before the close of tho year. The moinbm.s of the Conservative Land Society have invested largely in the United Laud Company (Limited) since the last report of the executive committee, which announced that inves tors might join both society and company if they thought fit, the liability in both cases being confined to the amount of the shares taken. The members of the Conservative Land Society will continue to have the option of taking shares in the United Land Company (Limited). The Con servative Land Society will be enabled, on the termination of its 16th year, to extend largely the building advance business, and thus develope more rapidly the estates which will be in the hands of the United Land Company (Limited), and the working of the two on the co-operative principle will promote the prosperity of both associations.

ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS.—The last exami nation of candidates for the membership of this in stitution for the present session will bo held on the 18th inst., and already, owing to the new regulation requiring all students to undergo an additional examination in medi cine, unless they should already have done so, which comes into operation in October next, the number of gentlemen who have entered their names is considerably in excess of former periods. THE CASE OF SERGEANT FLERON.—The Nord announces that the King of the Belgians has signed a de cree, sparing the life of Sergeant Fleron, condemned to death for shooting his commanding officer. The French Government have granted to Baron Emil Erlanger, of Paris, and Mr. Julius Reuter, of London, an exclusive concession for 20 years to lay and work a submarine telegraph cable between France and the United States. BOARD OF TRADE, June 31.—The Board of Trade, in exercise of the powers vested in them by the Merchant Shipping Act, 1867, have exempted from the rule to be observed respecting lime or lemon juice and other anti-scorbutics to be carried by foreign-going ships those ships bound from any port in the United Kingdom to ports on the Eastern Coast of America situate between the 35th and 60th degrees of north latitude, and also all ships bound to any islands or places in the Atlantic Ocean, situate within those limits.

The class races of th e Harvard University were rowed in presence of 5,000 B ostonians and others, who filled the grounds of the A lma Mater. Four boats entered —viz., the Scientific and Law School, th e J un i ors, Sopho mores, and Freshmen. In the betting, o dd s were offered freely on the Sophomores ag ai nst the field, with but few takers. Lyman, the stroke of the Freshmen, had injured his hand the day before the race, making things look blue for that crew. Will Moine, the well-known college athlete, acted as starter. At the first send-off the Junior stroke broke his oar, and the boats were recalled. On the second start the Sophs took the l ea d , F reshmen secon d , Juniors third, and Scientific.; last; but the distance be tween the first and last was not more th a n a l eng th. At the end of the first half-mile tne Scientific took the thiad place, and at the end of the first mile took second, the Sophomores also passing the Juniors, who had got ahead of then nearly. The Freshmen now ha 1 the lead, and turned the turning sake, t eking the inside track. Now a tight struggle ensued, but the Freshmen had pluck to spare, and came home with a wild cheer, winning by fifteen and a half seconds to the surprise of all.

ANSTRUTHER asked the S:crelary of State for War whether his attention had b3en called to Captain Cockerell's Report to the Co:nmissio3ers of the Paris Ex hibition upon the new system of shoaiig h.rsea iatto duced by DI. Charlier, and now extensivaly mod in Paris, and whether he would give direction 3 that a trial of this system of shoeing should be made at the Cavalry Depots at Canterbury. Sir J. PAKINOTON said ho hai soon th 3 r; port, but as he was in ca.mnunication witn th 3 prop)r offl.:ers ho could not at that mornia giva an t 3 tho glastion. THE DOVER FORTIFICATIONS. In reply to Mr. DIXON, Sir J. PAKINGTON said he had reoeivA intelligence through a private sour 3a that a schooner, whilst lying in Dover Roads, had been struck by a shot from the bat teries, and be had given directions that a moat searching inquiry should be made into the circumstance. CORRUPT PRACTICES AT ELECTIONS BILL. The house then went into co ntnittee on this bill. On clause 5 being proposed, Mr. 130 U VERIE moved that the clause and all clauses following up to clause 18 inclusive be omitted. He did so because ho believed that the provisions were such that the whole intention of the measure would be frustrated. The right hon. gentleman moved a number of clauses to take the place of those proposed to be left out : the first set forth the place at which the trial was to be held, the nest provided for the appointment of three additional judges, and the other clauses provided that every such election inquiry should be presided over by one of the judges of her Majesty's superior Courts of Common Law at Westmin ster, such judge not being a member cf the House of Pears, and such judge should alone decide every question of law arising on such trial, whether relating to the admissibility of evidence or otherwise, and should direct the said com mittee upon the law by which their decision was to be governed, and such committee should accord ingly, as a jury, give their decision only on the facts of the . .case : provided always that such trial should proceed and be conducted in all respects in the same way as a trial at Nisi Prins, or a cri minal proceeding before a jury. On the conclusion of the trial the judge, he proposed, should certify to the Speaker the result of the trial, at the same time stating if any and what corrupt practices had prevailed. He thought if the house were to adopt his amendments, that great good would result, and they would have a tribunal which would do the work far more efficiently than at present. Sir P. COLLIER objected to the amendments, the more so as they did not provide for any local inquiry, an ar rangement very generally desired, and also that no provision was made for au inquiry being taken when the house was not . sitting. (Hear, hear.) He thought if the house parted with the jurisdiction of conducting these inquiries into corrupt practices, the power should only be given to the highest judicial authorities. He objected to give it to barristers of, ten years' standing or county court j u.laes. (Hear, hear.) It had been said that the inquiry would be too severe, but ha did not think that could be so, for if there was corruption existing- it was wall for the country that it should be known and rooted out. Mr. LOPES supported the amendments of the right hon. member for Kilmarnock. He thought that the proposal to try these election inquiries by an assessor and a kind of jury selected from that house was oue of the best arrangements that could be made. Mr. HUGESSEN said tho select committee having de cided upon the house giving up it; jurisdiction, he thought the best thing to do was to agroe to it rather than fritter ing the time away of tho house in useless discussions, which would only praveut anything . being done at all dur ing the present session. (Hear, hear.) Mr. HENLEY supported the clause, because it gave the security of a jury, rather than making their decisionS rest upon the opinion of one man. Mr. MILL said he wished it could be ma le unlawful for bribery to be tJleca.ted, an I that could not be done as long as Parliament itself took the initiative in deciding the question. If the matter was decided by an indepen dent tribunal, a much more satisfactory state . of things would result than that which at present existed. Mr. GLADSTONE, though personally preferring, both to the bill and to Mr. Bouverie's amendment, a plan con templated by Mr. Ayrton (to institute preliminary in quiries by officials specially appointed, and to be called attorneys of the House of Commons), pressed the Govern ment to facilitate the progress of the bill by accepting Mr. Mill's amendment ; but Mr. DISRAELI declined to give any opinion at present as to the expediency of limiting the'duration of the bill, though he promised favourably to consider it when it was proposed as a substantial amendment. Mr. Bouverie's amendment, he intimated, would be considered as fatal to the whole principle of the bill. Mr. Lopes and Sir C. O'Loghlen supported the amend ment, and Mr. Knatelibull- flugessen supported it. On a division there was a majority of 77 against it, and in favour of the bill-204 to 127. The committee was occupied with tho bill up to half past ten o'clock, but no material amendment vas made in it until clause 10, which sanctions the appointment of two election judges, and on this an important decision was arrived at, which for the moment has brought the bill to a stop. Mr. AYRTON suggested that, instead of nominating two judges to be specially set apart for this duty, one judge should be added to each of the Common Law courts, and election petitions should be tried indiscriminately by the general body of judges, according to a settled rota. Mr. Russell Gurney, Mr. Kerslake, Mr. Denman, Mr. Sergeant Gaselee, and others supported this plan, and The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, in opposing it, pointed out that the remonstrance of the judges against having this duty imposed on them was not withdrawn, and hinted that the adoption of this scheme might imperil the bill. Mr. LOWE strongly protested against this lino of argu ment. It was the duty of the house to create the best tri bunal in its power, without reference to the protest of the Judges, or to the possible action of the House of Lords. He strongly urged the Government, therefore, to consider their determination, and to commit the jurisdiction to the Oom►non Law Bench, reinforced by the addition of three new Judges. Mr. DISRAELI admitted that this might be the best course, but, remembering the effect of the Judges' protest on the House of Commons, it was possible it might be equally powerful with the other house. It was therefore necessary to consider not so much what was best as what would be most likely to be carried ; and, not being pre pared to risk the success of the bill, he dEclined to assent to the suggestion. On a division Mr. Ayrton's amendment to omit the essential portion of the clause was carried by a majority of 65-136 to 71. Upon this Mr. Disraeli moved to report progress, with the view of considering what could be done to meet the views of the house, but he added that he oould not conceal from himself the great difficulties ho had to contend with. The further progress of the bill was then adjourned until Thursday. The Army Estimates were the next business on the paper, but before going into supply, Major ANSON interposed with an elaborate attack on the manufacturing department of the army, which he ac cused of gross waste, extravagance, misrepresentation, and even falsification of accounts. Under the head of gun manufacture especially Major Anson pushed his attack into minute detail, supporting it by a great mass of figures, and concluded by a comprehensive resolution containing three propositions—first, that in order to secure greater accuracy of accounts an annual statement of the stores in possession of the troops and in the arsenals be laid be fore Parliament; next, that in order to prevent the Go vernment manufactories becoming monopolies a certain proportion of stores be purchased from the private trade ; aud, lastly, that the manufacturing departments be worked as private firms. Sir J. PAKINGTON complained that Major Anson had given no notice of his most serious charge against the manufacturing departments; consequently he was unable to answer them on the spot.. To the first proposition Sir John made no difficulty in acceding by way of experi ment, though he pointed out it would be very costly. To the second he rep'ied by showing in what large propor tions such stores as clothing, genpowder, small arms, dre., are purchased from private manufacturers, and on the third and most important of Major Anson's proposals, while acknowledging its desirability, he refused to commit him self without further consideration. The Marquis of HARTINGTON held it to be imprac ticable to conduct the Government manufactories as pri vate firms, and on . that account chiefly he urged that Major Anson's charges against them should be striotly in vestigated. Mr. Otway, Sir G. Bowyer, and General Herbert made some observations on the same subject; and Lord Eleho, on Major Anson's behalf, offered to submit his case to a select committee or any other inquisition. The practice of intrusting privates and non-commis sioned officers with 20 rounds of ta:l cartridge in time of peace was mooted by Mr. HATTER, and these preliminary discussioni occupied the house until so late an hour that the army estimates were postponed until the next supply night. The Earl of MAYO brought in the Registration Bill for Ireland, which, like the EnglisL bill, is coailncd chiefly to the process of revision. It provides that the process shall be completed between September 8 and October 6, so that the lists shall be in the hands of Sheriffs by the Ist of November. It also contains provisions for facilitating the making up of the supplemental lists of new voters, and the general result is that everything will be ready for a general election in Ireland about the same time as in England. The house adjourned at a quarter to two o'elock. The course of exelisnge at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight was on the last date about 1. , per cent. At this rate there is scarcely any profit on the importation of gold from the United r:.tates. IHPERIAL PARLIALIENT HOUSE OF LORDS—Tars EVENING. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his scat on the Woolsack at fire o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. Metropolitan and St. John's-wood Railway Bill was read a third time. FAIRS BILL. This bill was committed and passed. WEST INDIES BILL. The Duke of &ICU:NO[IAM move.] the second read ing of this bill. The object of the bill was to repeal a sum of £20,000 which had been for upwards of 40 years gran: e 1 to the ()much in the West Indies. In 1221 this sum was granted before the abolition of Slavery for the purpose of in-. creasing the influence, efficiency, and scope of the Church of England amongst the slave population in those islands. It was found necessary that if anything was to be done for the amelioration of the slaves that immediate sums should b 3 granted. Mr. Canning said, in introducing the bill, that it was necessary to grant this amount in order to introduce spiritual education anaoug the people ; and Mr. Canning stated that it was for the benefit of the white population alone ; it was net to be a permanent grant, but to meet immediate wants, and to be subject to such modifications as might be subsequently necessary, and it very soon was modified. Under those circumstances the grant was made of £20,300 per annum; to the bishops were granted £14,000, and only £6,300 to rectors and catechists. It was found, however, that the grant to the bishops was not satisfactory, and that the sum which was intended to serve two bishops was extended t.) three. In the beginning of her Majesty's reign the amount to the particular bishops was reduced, and it had since been materially changed. At the present time the grant is applied in very nearly the original terms, although more persons received the bene fits. The first question was, why should the bill be repealed ? The House of Commons had laid before it a bill which was to the effect that the grant had done its work, aad it was obvious that there was no longer reason for its continuance. Before moving the second reading he thought it right that he should explain that this bill had nothing to do with the suspeusioc of certain appointments in Jamaica... but that this point had risen since he had the hoaour to succeed to the Colonial Office. The Earl of CARNARVON said Vaal he disagreed with the second reason of the noble lord, and he did not think that the Indian Church could dispense with this sum of twenty thousand pounds. Ile had seen that this change was coining, and ho hal taken pains to put that Church in a position to meet it, and for this he had incurred a certain a:nount of raproa,ch. The noble earl then stated that after what had fallen from the noble lord on the woolsack a few nights ago ho thought it right to make a few remarks on the subject. The noble lord had, he considered, left the impression upon their lord ships' minds that he had grossly exaggerated the matter and misled them. Th3ro had been an entire misunder standing of his statement relative to the compari son between the Church of England in Jamaica and in Ireland and the modifications introduced by this bill. lie contended that as he voted for suspension in Ireland, so he did fur it in Jamaica, and therefore he thought that he was given great credit by the noble lord on the woolsack for consistency. his lords Lip then reviewed the various acts which regulated the distribution of the .£20,000 grant, and said it would bo obvious that before 1824 there were no West ludia bishops at all, and if this was not a case of endowment ho did not know what was. (Hear, hear.) Lie could make his case still stronger; in 1842 there was a ,debate on the subject, and Lord Derby, then Colonial Secretary, clearly showed that this was an establishment; and Mr. Pakington stated that in all our colonies there ought to be provision for the Es tablislaNl Church. By the general testimony of Mr. Ver non Smith, and his own immediate predecessor, Mr. Cardwell, ha was entitled to consider this an Established Church, and the grant an endowment, and he was ut a loss to conceive what could be more trustworthy, more binding, than an act of Parliament passed under these conditions. There was not one ono word in these acts about its being a transfer. Speakingafteran absence of one 3 ear and a half, and with out knowing what had transpired within the Colonial Office, he was convinced that the noble and learned lord had erred when ho stated that the colonists were ready and willing to accept this bur then. He hoped, therefore, that if be had testimony to produce confirming that view that he t‘ ould not hesitate to produce it. He was quite sure that he had uninten tioeally mis-stated the fact. (LEFT SPEAKING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS—This DAY. The SPEAXER took the cliair at 2 o'clock. PUBLIC SCHOOLS BILL. The adjourned debate on this bill, which is for the regulation of the publicsehools,_Was resumed. Y f he s_tveral clauses of the bill having been considered, and in som 4 instances amended, Mr LOWE moved the following clause be add e d t o th e bill :—" That all boys educated at the seven schools mentioned in this act shall be examined (mice a year, by ono of the Inspectors of the Committee of Council ou Education, in reading, writing from dictation, arithmetic including vulgar fra c ti ons , practic., and the rule of th ree , geography, English grammar and history, and the results of such examination and the report of the examining inspectors shall be laid before Parliament." He said he did not make the motion in any oppositioa to the public schools, but because greater proficiency should be secured than was at present the case. He thought if there was any deficiency with respect to the pupils, it was but right that the parents of such pupils should be male aware of the fact. Ho thought such an exa mination as he proposed would be considered as a disadvantage. The Commissioners on Middle class Education recommended that all endowed schools should be submitted to annual examination. He had no sympathy with any body that recoiled from such a test. If the public schools fulfilled their functions pro perly, there could bo no valid objection to his proposition; if not Parliament ought to step in and remedy the evil. Mr. GRIFFITHS opposed the clause, as such au exa mination as was proposed would be disgraceful in the last degree. Mr. FORSTER said he could not vote for the clause, because he did not think the examiners proposed were the right persons, and that the branches mentioned should be the only ones examined upon. if there was any legislation on endowed schools generally, he would vote for such a proposal, but he could not a g ree to it with respect to seven public school s a ff ecte d by the bill. Mr. LABOUCHERE said in some of the public schools everything was sacrificed to teach Latin and Greek, but having done that they did not really accomplish that which was intended. He had spent ten years of his life in en deavouring to learn Latin and Greek, and had not suc ceeded in either. (Laughter.) He did not look upon that as a fault, but as a misfortune. (Laughter.) Mr. WALPOLE said he did not think the proposal of the right hon. gentleman would really effect the object he had in view. He thought with respect to the appoint ment of Government inspectors it was a mistake ; the proper course was for the people of the country to see that their sons got the education they required. It was not wise to remove all responsibility from parents by the , appointment of Government inspectors, but that under the circumstances the best thi ng t o d o a t the present time was to leave the subject to be disposed of by the new govern ing bodies. He hoped the right hon gentleman would not press his clause. Mr. P. WYNDHAM supported the proposal, and said he believed parents would look to such examinations with the utmost confidence, conducted as they woald be by parties independent of the school. Mr. HENLEY said he thought they had had enough of Government inspection. He had no faith in them, as they had on former occasions, notwithstanding the most flourishing reports, proved an utter failure. He could not consent to sweep away all old arrangements, because an hon. gentleman gets up in his place in Parliament and declared that although he had tried for ten years he had not learned anything. (Laughter.) Mr. ACLAND hardly thought the right honourable gentleman could seriously intend to press his motion. He said there was no doubt much idle ness at Eton, which would be well if it were got rid of, and another thing that prevented educadon progressing was that many persons put their sons to Eton merely for the purpose of getting aristocratic associates, which might be useful in after life, who did not care twopence what they learned. He did not think that the inspectors suggested were exactly the class of mon to fulfill the duties proposed by the bill. It appeared to him to be an attempt by a side wind to ap point the Duke at the head of the Privy Council Minister of Public Education, a proposition he could never as sent to. He hoped, under all the circumstances, the right lion. 'gentleman would withdraw the clause, and assist Parliament on a future occasion in framing a reso lution which should affect all public schools, and not alone the seven schools affected by the bill. Col. SYKES said at Harrow a boy might now take high honours in Greek and Latin, and yet leave the school without being able to repeat the multiplication table. Mr. S. MILL thought there ought to be some sort of examination at the time pupils were first admitted. ®Mr. HEYGATE said the debate could lead to no prac tical good. because it went on the assumption that what was the state of things at Eton some time existed at pre sent, which was not the fact. Mr. LOWE, after a few observations in defence of his proposition, withdrew the clause. Mr. AYRTON then moved a clause to make provision for boys as day scholars whose parents resided within three miles of the action of the said school. The consideration of this proposition occupied the house up t) seven o'clock, atwhich hour the sitti ng o f th e h ouse was suspended until nine o'clock. COURSE OF EXCHANGE—This Evening. Ainsterdani.
