The Independance Of Brussels has the following .summary of German news :—"Nothing is more changeable than the diplomatic temperature ,which reigns between Vienna and Berlin—a few .days ago it was fine; now it is perfectly stormy. Our corre spondent at Berlin informs us that M. de Bernstorff, Minister of Prussia to the Court of Austria, had arrived with bad news from his Government. The Cabinet of Vienna is said to have withdrawn the half concessions to which Prince Schwartzenburg in some sort consented, during the conferences of Warsaw, and an understanding seemed more distant than ever. Immediately after the reception of* : the news brought by M. de Bernstorff, a Cabinet Council . was held, and itlasted five hours. No formal resolu tion was come to, but all the Ministers appeared to be very firm. As to the-Danish question nothing is de cided: Prussia, says our Berlin correspondent, will only carry on negotiations for a simple peace; but, on the other hand; our Hamburgh corresponden t states that at the date of th'e last letters there wad certain agitation in Copenhagen, in the expectation of the reply of Prus sia to the sort of ultimatum sent to Berlin by the Danish Government. 'ln Schleswig., the electors, in spite of the prohibition of the mixed Commission, respond to the .appeal.of the Lieutenancy-General, by nominating deputies of Holstein, who are to meet at Kiel. Our correspondent at Hamburgh states that a new Minis terial crisis had broken out at Hanover. All the - Ministers had deposited their portfolios in the hands of the King, on the morning of the 27th. The King bad promised to make known his decision in twenty four hours. The cause of the Ministerial deter mination is not stated in cur letters. It was said at Hamburgh that the note addressed by the Kieg of Hanover to the Duchies of Oldenburg and Brunswick, and to the:flanse towns, had not the im portance which was at first ascribed to it, its ob ject having been more for the formation of a corn menial and manufacturing than of a political union. But that does not result from all the information pre viously received." The German Journal of Frankfort of the 30th ult. says, the Elector of Hesse Cassel has removed M. de Hassenplug, who was recently condemned by a Prus• sian Court, from the Ministries of Justice and the Inferrior. The Vienna Gazette of the 27th ult. contains a funamental law for the military frontier of Croatia, Sclavonia, and the Banat. It enacts, that the mi itary frontier shall form an integral part of the Austrian monarchy, but shall have a free communal constitution. ITALY. The Statuto of Florence publishes a letter from Venice of the 19th ult., stating that Sir W. Parker has induced the Turkish Government to declare Scu tari in Albania a free port. The Debats publishes, under date of Vienna, 26th ult. :—" The following are correct particulars of the result of the - conferences of the Italian delegates with the Minister of the Interior. The points on which they have cone to an understanding are—the dele-, gates will on Friday next, in their last plenary sitting, name a committee charged to represent them, and to draw up a counter-project of Statuto. This committee will. propose a provincial diet, composed of a cham ber of deputies and a senate. An electoral law, on a wider basis than that of the Ministerial Bill, will facilitate the access to the Chamber. The Senate will lie composed of 60 Members, of whom 18 only are to be named by the Emperor; the others to be elected by the communes, the Universities, and the scientific institutes. The duration of the Legise lature will be four years for the Deputies, and' ten years far the Senators. The latter, who are immoveable during that period, may be re• elected by the communes, or again named by the Emperor. The Diet will have the right to occupy itself legislatively with the affairs of the country, except us regards the great common interests of the province and of the Empire, such as the arms, the navy, and the finances. With regard to the latter, the Diet will discuss and vote the division of tihe taxes, but the fixing of them will remain exclusively with the general Diet of Vienna, or with the Government, until that Diet be convoked. It is posi tively stated that these general arrangements have met with the approbation of the Minister of the Interior. who is said to have engaged to support the counter project thus drawn up, with the Emperor. It is expected that several other members of the Ministry will adopt a similar course. Baron de Bruck, the Minister of Commerce, and M. Schmerling, the Minister of Jus tice, are spoken of as being favourable to these con= cessions. SPAIN. The Heraldo of Madrid of the 27th ult.? says that the Government has taken the measures necessary for the payment of the instalment of the month of July to the active classes of creditors. A royal decree makes some changas in the department of the Ministry of Finanee; which is charged to keep the public ac c,3unts. M. Maneses de Britodorio, who was con veying the ratification of the postal treaty between Spain and Portugal to Madrid, died suddenly in the mail near Baii?joz. POST-OFFICE NOTlCE.—Newtown Butler, county Vermanagh, having been constituted a post town, the office there will be opened for the issue and payment of money orders, on anti•Sfter the Gth July next, upon which date also the receiving-office for letters at Tottenham-cross will be opened for the iseue and payment of money orders. STATE OF TRADE. (Fromn the illancheser Guardian of this day.) 31ANCLIZSTER, TCESDAY.—The continued ten dency of the accounts from the cotton-growing dis ;riot* to..enhance the value of the raw material, has iniparted additional firmness to our yarn market, and, indeed, has led to the requirement of some further ad vance for 20's water and for such numbers of mule are . most in demand. This has considerably limited the day's transactions, which, it is evident, would otherwise have been on a large scale, for e6nsumption at bowie and shipment to the European cantinent, and which, as it is, have reached a fjir amount. The finer counts, of good Russian qua lity, are at least maintaining , their buoyancy; as is al.o the case with certain descriptions of doubled yarn. Tine accounts from Indic, however, halve not led to any operations de.,..erying of notice for that quarter. On all hinds, it is found that the lightness of their stocks, aad the degree in which they are under contract, together with the stimulus of dear cotton, have ren dered the great body of spinners very indifferent about taking further orders. The demand that ex ists for long cloths, I's, and domestics, has been aided in its effect uilan the value of those articles by the state of the cottAi market; the tendency of prices is kill upward, and this is particularly felt in long dotba,' which have bcome exceedingly scarce. But . India : goads generally, and the different widths of printing cloths also, are not so much in request ; prices. are, however, firmly maintained. Tao continued inaction of the Eastern merchants tines an explanation in the advises given-below; and thtrxpaietness of printing cloths and some other fabrics is partly attributable to the little that is• now being done in them by the Greeke, who, since their. liteacCve operations, have been much disappointed in :heir expectations of a materially increased demand from Khorissah. Letters of the 15th ult. from Con stantinople are very discouraging as to the probable reAllts of exports, whether for Persia or elsewhere, in connexion with that entrepdt. -_•ltocainAus, Mordpar.-I,Ve have had a fair demand for flannels to-dav : , at prices much the same as those of , fast week. The manufacturers continue to pur chase the raw material very sparingly, and the wool stSeerS hold. out for good prices. T he work p eople arein flitl employment, and the stocks on hand are extremely light. • 14ACCLEiFIELD, TUESDAY.—There is no favour abfe alteration to notice as regards the manufacturing trade of this town, many weavers are understood to be out, of . empl.yrnent, and the sales of goods a re only !o a small ext:nt. If any demand should even tually arise, we apprehend there will be a scarcity of goods, .consequent on production having been very much liaiitetl cf late. The throwing trade continues in a vqr. unsatisfactory state, prices of raw and thrown sdic being almost on a par ; in consequence ..f which several moors throwing concerns have been brought to' a stand for the present. In the public wises of raw silk, held in London last week, very little business was transacted , • owing to the high • riltes demanded, the bulk of the silk was withdrawn at extreme rates. :EWSl'.\ I 'F , iIiIIDDERSFIELD, TOESDAY.—I'Ve have this week to a. decided improvement in our market ; an amount of business hai been doing in the hall The Wel:ebous.e3 have been brisker during ek than for "Soule time past, indeed some have ted to being quite busy for the American LoVv fancys and tweeds . have 'been in re - t to-day. -C o nsidering the London wool sales the Ist a et J. g ood, awl. there i 3 every probability of its keeping • firm for some tune. THE SUN, HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—The inquiry for worsted goods is scarcely so active as it was ; the merchants being unwilling to give an increase of the price ade quate to the enhanced cost of the raw material. The demand for yarn continues good, and the late advance is freely obtained. There is a moderate amount of business doing in wool, and the quotations are firm, at the recent advance; but the consumers appear very reluctant to accede to the farther rise demanded by the growers. LEEDS, TUESDAY.—We have had a very good market at the Cloth Halls both Saturday and to day, and the woollen trade generally is very brisk. Prices keep firm ; and, in consequence of manufacturers being engaged to order, stocks are very low. There is also a good bussness doing in the warehouses, both for the home and foreign trade. sired the earliest opportunity of seeing the list of casual ies and other information of great interest to them. Now, Lord Ashley should have some feeling, some degree of humanity for persons thus situated. Of all trials suspense was the greatest ; when some great calamity happened to men, they bore it as best they might ; but sus- Fense was torturing. He had hoped for the assistance of some of the established clergy on this occasion. It had always appeared to him one of the advantages of a highly-educated and aristocratically-connected clergy that they should save the people from such mischief as that to which he was alluding, by pointing out the difference between what was reasonable and mere fanaticism. If they had stood forward on this occasion, they would have secured the confidence and gratitude of all reasonable men throughout the land. He hoped that petitions would be sent from all parts of the kingdom, to show the Government that it was not the wish of the people that these restrictions should exist. Mr. A. PARKER said he had much pleasure in se conding the resolution. He thought a more mis chievous measure than the recent one had never been adopted. He believed it would not be practicable to carry it out, for he conceived that men of business, whose desire or whose necessities compelled them to receive information on Sundays, would devise other means of obtaining it. Mr. RonirtsoN said he quite agreed with the Go vernment measure. He believed that there was a divine obligation upon every man to observe the Sabbath ; and he was willing to bear any inconveni ences which might result. He had known men in large businesses who had given up the practice of re ceiving and attending to their letters on the Sab bath, and they had since expressed to him their thank fulness that they had done so. He thought, too, Sir John Fife had been too severe in his remarks. Mr. FINLAY said he 'cordially concurred in Mr. Robinson's opinion. He thought that a fair trial should have been given to the new plan. On the motion being put, it was carried by a very large majority, there being but three votes against it. (The number of members present was 26.) Petitions founded upon the resolution were ordered to be sent to Earl Grey and Mr. Ord. After some further business the council broke up. —Newcastle Courant.

On Wednesday last the TOWN CLERK read a re quisition to the Mayor, signed by twenty-three mem bers of the council, requesting a meeting to be called, to petition against the total suspension of Post-office labour on Sundays, or for some steps to be taken to arrest the inconveniences and deplorable consequences likely to result from the recent Post-office regula tions, in consequence of which the present meeting had been called: Sir J. Fire said he hoped that the mayor and coun cil would not think that he had brought them to gether unnecessarily, but that the occasion would be thought to warrant a special meeting. The subject which was now coming under their consideration was one of vast importance. He need not remind the council of the great alarm, and, he might say, the general' indignation which had been occa sioned amongst men of business throughout the country, in consequence of the manner in which the work of the Pest-office on Sundays had been so summarily interrupted. It was a curious fact, that, while a minority of his countrymen took very extreme views of religious matters, the line of conduct which they took in carrying out their views was not always consistent with the influence under which they professed to act. The majority of the people looked at religious precepts through the medium of the reason which their Creator had given to them. The great majority would not, be thought, permit that great vital organ to be stopped in its functions ; and that, for two days in the week, all busieess should be interrupted ; thus occasioning an enormous increase of Sunday labour in the shape of telegraphs expresses, and special messengers of various descrip tions. It remained to be seen whether, the country would sit down under that immense disability. There was a remarkable contrast between th Seb batarians and those men of business who would, on that occasion, oppose them. The latter did not le gislate for the consciences of their neighbours, but left them to spend their Sabbath as they pleased ; they did not make such parties send for their letters and papers. But they complained that the parties he had alluded to did not act in the same liberal man ner towards them, that they presumed, by what he must call -self-righteous assumption, to dictate to others. Now, when men professed to act under re ligious inspiration, or believed that they were so acting, their neighbours naturally expected from them honest candour, and straightforward plicity ; they did not expect to find that sort of management, to use the mildest expression, sshich they expected to see in a Newcastle jockey or a gamester. But see in what manner the party headed by Lord Ashley and Mr. Plumptre had carried their resolution through Parliament — such a resolution as had not been sent from Parliament to the Crown since the days of Cromwell. The only simplicity they had shown had been in the imbecility of their arguments ; all their other pro ceedings had been marked by a remarkable degree of worldly cunning. It was competent to Lord Ashley to have brought in a Bill for the better observance of the Sabbath ; but then there would have been re peated discussion, there would have been ample time for the expression of public opinion ; there would have been a succession of stages at which the opinion of the Legislature would have been taken; and before such a measure had been assented to its merits would have been properly tested. Instead of that he had chosen to bring forward the question in such a form that it could be hurried through at once. But that was not the worst. It had been brought on on an occasion when the House was peculiarly con stituted. He (Sir John) doubted whether there was any other day in the session on which those parties could have been so sure of a partial House—so sure of a majority of men holding extreme views upon the subjects—men who wanted an observance of the Sabbath beyond the requirements of Chris tianity, beyond reason and common sense. He had thus carried through an address which had taken the Government, the Pailiament, and the people all by surprise. If they looked at the history of the Pest office for the last fifty years, they would find that im portant changes had been made ; that there had been repeated concessions to those parties who held ex treme views upon religious subjects. One might have thought that these concessions would have con ciliated such parties ; but each concession bad been coolly regarded as a step towards something more. That, indeed, had been one of the arguments used by Lord Ashley. So that, bad as things were now, they probably had not yet got to the worst. Indeed, it was difficult to place a limit to unreasonable men who acted as these parties had done. It was a curious fact that there should be so much pusillanimity, such a want of moral courage, in opposing such men ; but this was not so discreditable to the oppo nents of these parties as to the parties themselves. It was well known what a terrible organ was the odium theologicum. It was plain that any party which was highly organized was powerful, and it was extraordi nary what means were taken by some parties to effect their objects. On his way down to the meeting he had received from a merchant a piece of information bear ing on the question. He was informed that Satur day letters from the South-Eastern Counties, which ought to have been here on Monday morning did not arrive till Tuesday. Of coarse, too, the delivery of letters on a Monday morning must now be very late, unless they had been previously sorted. Nearly two days would be lost throughout the empire, and that loss would produce deplorable consequences. He had been informed by one of the most experienced bankers in the north of England that it might happen that a merchant, after paying in money on a Saturday night, to meet his bills, might, through this delay, have his bills protested, and thus have his cretin shaken. But this would not affect Lord Ashley or Mr. Plumptre, and so they cared nothing about it; nor would it much affect the 700,000 persons who had signed they did not know what. In Lord Ashley's speech great stress had been laid upon some beautiful quotations from a prize essay by a working man upon the importance of the Sabbath. But that was all quite irrelevant. None of those who oppased these restrictive measures desired to deprive the working man of the day, whether as a day of rest, or of devotion. They left him to spend it as he pleased. But the effect of the recent change upon working men might be very disastrous. He had been informed, by a great manufacturer, that, in consequence of the non-delivery of letters on Sunday, a very great number of working men would be thrown out of employment on the Mon day, just as they were now in Scotland. And what would be the consequences ? The Scotch, who were the most Sabbath-observing, were also the most spirit-drinking people on the face of the earth ; and the one had much to do with the other. Lord Ashley had dwelt much upon the number of signatures he had obtained to his petitions ; but he knew wall that he could obtain almost any number of signatures, on any subject, on an unusually short notice. There was a peculiar power in organization under the influence of religious feeling. He (Sir John) had no doubt that if Lord Ashley were to propose petitions that all persons should be compelled to wear black on Sundays, he could, in a short time, get 700,000 names to there. Though the Scotch were so strict upon this subject, the common sense and neighbourly feeling of the Highland farmers went a long way to relieve them from the inconveniences it would otherwise oc casion. It happened often that a Highland farmer travelled to his kirk a distance of fifteen miles ; and, after staying there some hours listening to the sermon, first in Gaelic and then in English, before he left, he received at the kirk-door the letters brought for him ten or fifteen miles in an opposite direction—that was still further from his residence,—and which he would not otherwise get for another week unless by an express journey all that distance. He (Sir John) did not say that the farmer opened and read his let ters and papers on Sunday ; for he believed that, generally, he did not, but he read them as soon as it was light next morning. Soon after the wool merchant, or the cattle jobber probably called, and unless the farmer knew the state of the markets, he might lose the only profitable bargain that he could make during the season.

The market was again scantily supplied with wheat, and in many instances an advance of is per quarter was realised, on choice red and also white samples, from last week.

Wheat Barley Oats _ —a Od Beans... Peas HULL, JULY 2. Messrs. Taylor and Bright's Circular states :—During the past week a good deal of rain has fallen, whereby the spring crops and pastures are much benefited. The trade has been quiet, with more disposition to buy, fresh red wheats being more in request, and of these our stock and import is light. To-day we had a moderate supply of farmers' wheat, for which an advance of Is per quarter was demanded, and for best sam ples obtained ; prices paid were 41s to 42s per qr 631bs wheats. Fine malting barley meets buyers, and an advance is paid upon good grinding. A good arrival of beans, several cargoes of which are out of condition ; some parcels are going to granary, the market being momentarily dull. A little inquiry for peas, and not many offering. Oats are 6d dearer. In linseed rather more business passes, without quotations being effected. Cakes are very firm. Rape cakes, which were very dull this day se'nnight, experience some improvement, and are worth 773 6d to-day. The following are the present prices of grain :- 11. 5.

Fine oats were scarce and fully as dear, but inferior kinds and oatmel could have been bought on, rather easier terms. Barley, beans, and peas moved off in re tail at late rates. Indian corn met with scarcely any attention, and must be quoted fully 2s per quarter lower since this day week, 26s 6d being the extreme price obtainable for fine American yellow. - CORK, JULY I.—Flour--First 12. 6d to 13s; extra 14s; seconds, 12s Od to 12s 6d ; households 9s to lis ; thirds, is to 8v per cwt.

MONEY MAREET.—The premium on gold at Paris is 11 f par mille, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10Id. per ounce far standard gold, gives an ex change of 25.44; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25.45, it follows that gold is 0.04 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 432} per mark, which. at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.84; and the ex change at liamburgh on London at short being 13 q, it follows that the price of gold is the same at London and Hamburgh. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 1101 interebt en a fl nd af e te h r arg m e a s ki o n t g per cent., and the par of exchange between iingland and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is nominally 0.67 per cent. in favour of Eng land, lowanc the e r d p i r ff e e s r e e n r t we ra o te f transport, al leaves it small profit ou the importation of gold from the United States.

GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY (DEVIATIONS, AMENDNIENT OF ACTS, AL fERATION OF TOLLS, AND OF EAST LINCOLNSHIRE RAILWAY TOLLS) BILL. On the order of the day for the third re iding of this Bill, Lord CARRINGTON opposed the motion. The landholders on the line had been induced to consent to the Bill in 1846, on the ground of the lowness of the tolls. By this Bill the company sought to raise the tclls and thereby were violating frith. He moved that it he re committed in order t) give the opponents of the Bill an opportunity of being heard. Lord WHARNCLIFFE said the opponents of the Bill had already had ample opportunities of being heard, and he should press the third reading. After a few words from the Duke of RICHMOND, The Earl of GRANVILLE said that he should vote for the third reading of the Bill. Lord REDESDALE asked why the opposition to this Bill did not take place earlier?—(Cheers.) He thought no railway company bad any claim to come to Parlia ment to increase tolls. Many Bills had been csrried solely on the ground of the low rate of tolls. Earl FITZ WILLIAM had no objection to the Bill generally; but with respect to an increase of tolls he thought that some parties had been negligent in watching the progress of the measure. The result of this increase of tolls would be to cut off a great part of Lincolnshire from the London• market, and he could only ac count for the delay of the opposition on the ground of the dislike which private individuals had to enter the lists against a powerful company. He thought it would be but just to send . this Bill again to a Committee. KINNAIRD thought, that as another railway running through the same district had obtained power to increase their tolls, this Bill ought to be passed. To recommit that Bill would be virtually to lose it. Lord BE AUItIONT considered that this Bill wai violation of agreement with the landowners, and they would be exposed year after year to fight this company if their Lordships admitted the principle that a railway company might violate an understanding by raislng their tolls. _ _ After a few worth from the Earl of DEVON, _......,. _ _ should support Lord STANLEY said that as the opponents of the the third reading.

Their Lordships then divided, when there appeared— Contents (for the' recommittal) '2 8 Non-contents ... 37 Majority against the recommittal... —9 The Bill was then read a third time and pa3sed. EXPOSITION OF 1851. *ISS 34 On our r,‘-admissioa to the gallery we found Lord BROUGHAM moving for certain papers re• lating to the exposition of 1851. He gave notice that he should postpone his motio❑ on the subject to Thursday. Lord CAMPBELL hoped his Noble and Learned Friend would not postpone it beyond Thursday, because he (Lord Campbell) was most anxious, as Lord Chief Justice of England, to enter his solemn warning against what ho had no hesitation in characterizing as certainly, if not illegal, at least the unconstitutional proceedings which were contemplated in this matter, and which would inflict a great grievance on her Majesty's subjects. Lord BROUGHAM would not postpone it beyond Thursday, and he entirely agreed with his Noble Friend in his view of this matter. FACTORY BILL. 965 Lord STANLEY presented several petitions in fa vour of the Ten Rooms Bill. In answer to a question from a NOBLE Loan, The Duke of RICHMOND declared that he was deter mined to propose the clause which Llrd John Manners had proposed in the House of Commons. In answer to a question from the Earl of FE VER SHAM, Th© Earl of GRANVILLE said that he should cove the sccoud reading of the Bill on Mondly, and take the discussion on the motion for going into Com mittee On the Monday following. The Bishop of MANCHESTER presented four pe titions in favour of the principle of a Ten Hours Factory Bill. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE presented an4l laid on the table a report from the Commissioners of Public Works. EDUCATION. The Earl of HARROWBY presented a very large number of petitions from various places in the United Kingdom, praying for an inquiry into the transactions of the Committee of the Privy Council on Education. The Noble Earl (who was very indistinctly heard all through his speech) then proceeded to bring forward the motion of which ho had given notice, for a. Select Committee to inquire into the operation and effect of the system under which the annual grant of public money, for the purpose of education, is administered. In doing so he said he had to entreat their Lordships' particular attention to the case he had to introduce, which was rather a complicated one, and one in which much depended upon an examination of docu ments to make it all acceptable to their Lordships. tie trusted, however, to be able to go into the subject in such a manner as would induce their Lordships to grant the Committee for which he asked. That great question of education had received the attention of botti Houses of Parliament for some years past in a particular degree. The condition of the country with respect to education had been found to be, that every contribution from public and private sources for the purposes of education had been exhausted. When that discovery had been made various suggestions had been thrown out as to the best mode of meeting the case. There were parties in the first instance, who, aware of the difficulties of combining any religious instruction with a system of education, considering the various de• nominations of religious bodies which existed in this country, were disposed to throw aside the question of re ligion altogether, or leave it to the clergymen of the dif ferent religious persuasions; or endeavour to found some great plan of education which would be useful to all and offensive to none. But when both of these plans had been tried they had both met with general disapproba tion. There was no other plan but that of endeavour-. ing to educate the several Christian bodies of the people on a religious system, and of contributing liberally for that purpose. That was the only principle which could be properly and justly carried out. The educational training of men was a course inseparable from religious influences. The response which a proposition on that subject met a short time since in another place had decided that point. The experiment to devise a plan of education which should be useful to all, and yet distasteful to lame, would fail. If they put the education of the people into the hands of moment be afraid of going be those who would every ' , end certain prescribed limits, they might have much discretion, but they would have no zeal. Now, if they undertook the principles of religious education, they should carry out their ideas fully. They should let the state carry out that principle from a full conviction of its necessity, and iuterest its functions without scruple to give full effimenev to that proposition. He thought he could show their Lordships, however, two or three points in which the state was not carrying out that principle. lie did not move for that Committee as a matter of re proach to the Government, but fur the purpose of fa 1 inv- sOgatioa into the subject. Tho Noble Earl here went into a brief detail of some transactions which hid taksn place a few years ago between the National Board and the Committee of Privy Council with respect to schools in connexion with the Church of England. Ile would not enter into the details of that eorrespontlenee. There was oae great difficulty, however, which made it el ar that the system could not go on. The recommen dations made by the Privy Council were such that the schools could not adopt them. He did not state that as a ground for inculpating the Government; but the departure front the previous system, and the discouragement of religious bodies, was one of the first causes of discontent and complaint. What was the s number i Butf clergy erlgeYroad laity who bad a r i g h t to rece i ve a respect of education from th e public there- Government said, there should be always a committee elected in a particular way to re gulate the schools. They were inclined to subscribe anag many hundreds for the purposes of education, and only wanted 25 per cent. from the Govern men t. All t h e y em. He would ask, was ent schools of which clergy men e should f asked was that they might be at liberty to solicit the n the system which they had adopted necessary fir the public welfare? Ho believed its result had been to se state r assistance have building in duce parties to put limits .ta. their zeal. He should like to have an opportunity of hearing those who had com plaints to snake give un account of what had been doing, and that would be afforded: by the Committee for which he sought. There were other points upon which he conceived they should have an opportunity of investiga tion. They were professedly entering upon an experi ment. That such was the wise was evident from every report which they received. Bat if they were not to have the ailvanteee of legislation on that point, at least let them have that of an investigation into the experi ment. The management of those who had the control of the large fends devoted to that object was objec tionable, for the system was altered from day to day on the most important matters without any sufficient reason shown. The system of inspectors, too, was one which had excited some attention. That was u sub ject in which the Church of England was not alone con cerned, for the Wesleyans and the Roman Catholics were equally interested in it, and all were equally dis satisfied with it. That was a matter which required to be watched from time to time, and an investigation into the whole system from time to time by such a Committee as he proposed was a matter of useful inves tigation. They had also to consider whether the system of inspection was really working out the objects fhr which it was intended. He would ask them what was the cost of the instruction they were providiege— (Hear.) They s h ou ld look to the machinery they had, with the view to ascertain its working. In one of the inspector's reports it appsared that, in the course of a recent tour ho had made, seven young schoolmasters were entering or had gone into holy orders, and the schools would accordingly be deprived of the aervicaa of these persona. With respect to tho female schools, they were required to give un account of the introduction of the Anglo-Saxon language, to know the principal books in that language, and the modifications it had undergone from the Jima of the battle of Hastings to the time of Elizabeth. What books was it possible for a young woman or a girl to read which would enable her to give an answer to such q uestions?—(Hear.) He thought it would be far better if the instruction were confh.e I to two or three leading subjects, insteai of being extended to a number, many of which were uniinpor?aut, He believed that they were giving a very superficial character to the instruction of the training schools. Their own inspectors were shrinking from their duty because it extended to too many particulars, and proposed to limit it to one or two leading points. He hoped the Noble Marquis would see the necessity of inquiry, with the vie se of aseerteining what am: udraeats could be made in the present system. The Noble Earl, who was almost wholly inaudible throughout his remarks, con cluded by propesing the resolution. The iNlarquis of Lt NSDOWNE admitted that the Noble Earl had brought the subject before their Lord ships in a tone which was wholly unobjectionable. It was hardly possible for any one who ha i not occupied the official situation which he himself held to form a cor rect idea of the difficulties attending the question. He had certainly no wish to ba an autocrat on this subject; but as regarded a number of schools, spread over the country, if there was not a person to exercise something like authority and control, from week to week, and from day to day, the whole machinery of the system of inspec tion, the importance of which could not be too highly rated, would at once be stopped. If that inspection had been ex tended, it had only been in consequence of the utility which had resulted from it. It was highly honourable to the inspectors that, up to that moment, hardly any thing like a complaint had been made against them. His attention had been again and again directed to a dis position on the part of the inspectors to make a higher examination than the nature of the education admitted of. If persons of great educational acquirements were selected for inspectors, it was natural to suppose that they would be inclined to raise the standard of examina tion. On making inquiries in some cases he had received explanations to the effect, that although the inspectors felt it to be their duty to take the books they found in use in the schools, and to ask the scholars questions out of these books, as an intellectual exercise, yet it did not follow that theirreports were founded upon the answers made to their questions. No matter what amount of intellectual qualification the inspectors might have dis covered in the children, it was not by this intellectual qualification, taken alone, that they established their standard ef merit. They had been again and again requested to make the general good conduct of the scholars, and their moral and religious knowledge—as ascertained by the masters, and more particularly by the clergyman— a chief element in their reports. With respect to school-mistresses and female schools, his endeavour had been to form such a system of examination as should not be liable to exception, and one which would include an inquiry into their household qualifications. The individual selected for that purpose was Mr. Cook, than whom no person was better qualified to carry out the intentions of the Committee of Privy Council, and he hoped that his exertions would be attended with suc cess. Now, with regard to the jealousies which existed in the minds of a great number of persons on the subject of this system of education, he hal received the most concurrent testimony from all quarters of the benefit which the clergy had derived from the assistance afforded them; and, since the moment when the harmony which existed between the Privy Council and the Na tional Society was interrupted, not less than 100 appli cations had been made by clergymen for nssistence.— (Hear, hear.) Then, with respect to the management clauses, the points of difference had been narrowed iu a very considerable degree. These clauses had their origin in the management of the National Society, and the inspection was first sought for by that society. The clauses were at that time drawn up nearly in their pre sent shape. In fact they had only been altered so as to meet one solitary exception. The management clause vested the management of schools in local committees; but there was one clause which was meant to apply to a particular case, and in that case the clergyman was left the sole judge, not only with regard to spiritual but to temporal matters; but it was required that a sufficient case should be made out to justify that devia tion from the general system. He apprehended that it was not the intention of Parliament in making this grant to vest the entire control in all matters, temporal as well as spiritual, in the hands of the clergymen, as opposed to the lay members of the Church.—(liear, hear.) That was a pretension which he did not consider within the scope and intention of the grant, which was made for the promotion of education generally; and if any special authority was given to the clergymen of the Church of England in temporal as contra-distinguished from spiritual matters, equal authority must be given to the Catholic priest, to the Dissenters, and to the Presley - teriene. Now the intention of the Legislature was not to place this grant in the hands of the ministers of reli gion. It was, undoubtedly, intended to secure their co operation on spiritual coecerna, and that co-operation had been provided for and obtained.—(Heer, hear.) He was ;sled that the Noble Earl, in alluding to the jealousies which existed, had alluded to the cause of the Wesleyans. Now what had happened with respect to that body? He believed no one denied them the merit of great zeal and attachment to their religious opinions. In the first instance, they exhibited a great deal of jealousy on the subject of these clauses ; but the result of the communications which had taken place was that they were now perfectly contented, and were receiving assistance from the Privy Council.—(Hear, hear.) It had been etated elsewhere that the Church of England was placed under some disadvantage as compared with other religious sects. Now, as far as it was possible to introduce the same words into the regulations, it had been done. Of course where a sect did not acknowledge a bishop the word " bishop" could not be introduced— where no elders existed the word " elder" could not be inserted—where there was no priest the word " priest" could not be given. But where there was any recognised authority all parties were treated precisely in the same manner. He believed the principle adopted by the Privy Council had been singularly favourable to the Church of England. Between Jan. 1, 1848, and June 30, 1850, the number of schools assisted was 689, of which number no less than 533 were Church schools— (Hoar, hear)—and of the number of schools now exist ing which had received grants 80 per cent. consisted of Church schools.—(Hear, hear.) He could lay before their Lordships a great number of strong testimonies from most eminent and distinguished clergymen, who had thought it an act of duty and gratitude to acknow ledge the benefits which they bad derived from the assistance afforded by the Privy Council; but he would content himself with mentioning one or two instances. The clergy of Preston, who wore convened to petition against the system adopted by the Privy Council, after hearing it fully explained, subscribed a declaration as to its utility, and that declaration was signed by seven teen out of nineteen.—(Bear, hear.) He also had before him the opinion of Archdeacon Hare, who, in his charge to the clergy, said that in the correspondence between the National Society and the Privy Council, the latter shows so conciliatory a spirit and such readiness ' in altering and modifying whatever was objected to, as to afford a ground for hoping that all real difficulties would soon be removed; and he felt convinced that they would soon have been removed but for the agitation which had been so pertinaciously maintained. After describing the infinitesimal points on which the differ ences turned, the Archdeacon went on to say that it might be urged that the fault lay with the Privy Council, who ought to have considered these points, but it was not usual for a body to alter its laws and rules except when some ground existed for their doing so, nor ought the Church to require them to take such a step unless there was such ground. Now, the Committee of Privy Council had provided from the first for all cases in which the religious principles of any party could be involved, by laying down that appeals on all religious questions should be to the bishop exclusively; and it would not be becoming to alter its well-considered rules for the sake of au unreasonable prejudice. Besides it was asserting the important principle that laymen ought to exercise jurisdiction on Church matters without being placed under the tutelage of ecclesiastical authority. He (the Marquis of Lansdowne) held it to be of great importance to invite and to secure the co-operation of laymen as far as it could be obtained in all works of this description.—(Hear, hear.) That was all that was sought for by the management clauses which had at tracted so much attention—au invitation to the lay body as well as the clergy to take part in the govern meat of schools, while the religious interference was carefully secured to the clergyman. He could see nothing objectionable in such a system—nothing that required further adjustment upon this one point, when everything had been conceded to the various bodied of the clergy on this subject. He believed that from day to day clergymen were becoming more seneible of the value of the system of inspection which had been es tablished. The inspectors had been invited again and again to take a more active part in giving advice and assistance in the administration of schools. Tney had been instructed never to take such a part unless in vited to do so by the committees and the clergymen themselves, and they had been continually invited.— (Hear.) With respect to the assertion that the system of examination was carried too far, and the allusions which had been made to the qe.eations put for the purpose of eliciting all the details connected with the battle of Hastings, he would merely say that the system ought not to be judged of from one or two cases in which particular questions had been put. Education did not stand very high some twenty or thirty years ago. On one occasion, when he was benighted on Salisbury Plain he sought shelter for the night in a place where there was some tan or a dozen houses. On inquiring for a book, he was told there was only one belonging to the school, and with that book he endeavoured to amuse him self during the night. The title of the book was "An Account of all the Events that hare occurred since the Creation of the World, specifying the Names of the Mayors of Salisbury and the Mayoralty in which each Event occurred."--(Loud laughter.) Ho was as desirous as the Noble Earl that a full and searching inquiry should be instituted into the system, but when he recol lected that this was the 2d of July, and that any inquiry now made must necessarily be a partial one, and teat it could not be attended with any practical results, he felt a strong objection to the appointment of a Commit tee at the present moment. He trusted the Noble Earl would defer the inquiry until the season when full jus tice could be done to the subject, and when it could be instituted and carried on in both Houses at the same time. He entreated their Lordships not to accede to the appointment of the Committee at the present time. As the Most Reverend Prelate at the head of the Church was not present he presumed he could not be convinced of the necessity of the Noble Earl's motiou.—(Hear, nod a laugh.) He (the Marquis of Lausdowne) g v ea s tlis a htuo s a,c nttt p ia::r r nneic e ,falir - . pre pared to lay every document connected with the subject before the House, and hereafter viva voce evidence might be taken for its more complete elucidation. With re spect to the schoolmasters for workhouses, it was thought they could be more effectually supplied by en cytswhpleheeearicregishyanai(ti, titiunder. establishmenteedrtehpdteeh perfect oe o cm f et o Churchteal hqi deuoe s aptr y l ari s Etot t yi e i on) system nbsl eiatt t noi ,v f fdite; eiwn t ,a e ah a rrii teaching Paella personsii in that go dif ferent religious persuasions. m w aasst e rt r sh r odv, t h v,i ttse e i sg r ort,l e e;u.ett a v rtesst- .rotilishasalibestut,iii;pinoutrms:ouvtmainiote,aileGgybnedhs, for tball);dra: Sheller Hall at present et w hs h uo o :p did not Attend tservice at 30 conducted, loif.,htmheenCthv,u,rhcohr.c. school-masters ,) ouses, right of hse a e n s i p n superior i ao:rlcharacter.—(llear.) t a o n d e x f e o l r u education d o oi lt t: r ein k b d ahegth given school l y dwa r z e s p o r ens() and where the Lord LYTTELTON regretted the opposition given by the Noble Marquis to the appointment of a Commit tr=eaus, he lAtevel that an inquiry of this nature would be the only chance of arriving at an sun cabin and satisfactory decision of the question.—(Hear, hear.) This was a subject on which the greatest difference of opinion existed throughout the country. It was true that very many of the clergy and many schools had availed themselves of this assistance. They knew llost the Government had a long purse, :end of all the difficul ties that existed with respect to objects of a benevolenr, character they knew that there was none gre Lter vian the permanent maintenance of schools.—(!lsar, hear.) It was therefore natural that they should avail them selves of the assistance thus offered to them. But it did not follow that the persons receiving those grants were altogether satisfied with the arrangements under which the advances were made. On every point of detail, ex cept the compulsory clauses, he thought the proceed • inns of the Privy Council de lerving of approbation.— (Heir, hear.) But on the simple ground of expediency he considered the compulsory imposition of the manage ment clauses upon Church schools the greatest error that could have begin committed.—(Hear, hear.) The Government could have no wish but to work with the great body of the Church and the clergy in the matter of education. But the system on which the manage ment clauses was founded was a decided innovation. fhe system, after a long and severe contest between the Government and the heads of the Church. was set tled, and worked as well as p )ssible for seven or eight years, and he believed every one of the additional im provements might have been graf.ed upon it without the management clauses. The main difference between the Committee of Privy Council and the Na tional Society was the question iof whether the ap peal should be allowed to schools receiving aid from the Government on all matters from the local mana gers to the bishop of the diocese. He thought the Government wrong in objecting to such provision when the local managers wished for such appeal. But a point of much more importance was, not whether there should be an appeal on all points to the bishop, but whether any system should ha recognised which allowed and proceeded on the distinction between what is religious and what is secular. The common opinion was, that, in matters of instruction, what is secular is the great body of instruction, and that what is religious is the exception. But that, he apprehended, was a great mistake. Except in a few of the mere elementary branches of education, there was scarcely one into which religion did not enter. The Roman Catholics, in their controversy with the Go vernment, acceded to the proposal that the distinction between what is religious and what is secular should be allowed; but they stood on the point as to who should be the arbitrator, and preserved that to their bishop.— (Hear.) In that way the religious safety of the school was perfectly attended to. What the committee of the Na tional Society first asked for was that the minister should have the mural and religious superintendence of the school. These were the points which required investi gation and called for improvement. The introduction of the management clauses had shown the insecure and unsatisfactory mode in which the funds were adminis tered. The system might have worked well, and did work well, so long as the Church had confidence in the intentions of Government ; but matters being in an un certain state, the system required to be carefully looked into. He had urged upon Government the necessity of legislating on this point, and hoped nothing would . be done of consequence by the Privy Council until the pro posed proceeding was submitted to Parliament. in the same manner as was done by the Poor-law Commis sioners. Another point which required consideration was the system of the normal school of Kneller Hall, which was regulated solely by the civil power. The Privy Council had the solo management, and the Church did not appear to be consulted in the arrangement. He hoped their Lordships would give their approval to this moderate measure, and consent to an inquiry, which ; might afford the materials for the basis of some more satisfactory arrangement. The Earl of KINNAIRD thought their Lordships I ought to accept the proposition of Government, which F was to appoint a commission at the commencement of next session. If the Committee was now agreed to, no• thing definite could be arrived at, owing to the advanced period of the session. If the Noble Earl did not consent to the proposition of Government, he would thereby show he was only the organ of one party—the National Society. Their Lordships were asked t 3 revert to the old system, which had already been tried and found to work unfavourably. Ho hoped, therefore, their Lord ships would not listen to any such proposition. With respect to the claims preferred by the Bishops, it would be found the Privy Council had already made great conces sions, so far as related to the discharge of schoolmasters or schoolmistresses who might be proved to entertain or inculcate objectionable tenets. It was advisable in his opinion, to give the National Society power to establish schools where needed, and he thought no dan ger was to be apprehended from that course, as it was well known the high party in the Church had great con trol over the proceedings of the National Society. The Noble Earl had dwelt on the danger of over-educating the labouring classes; but in Scotland the poor were generally well-educated through the parochial school=, and no mischief was anticipated or felt from that prac tice. Ho would instance the case of two of his female servants, to whom he gave access to a good library. The works they chose for their recreation were Milton's " Paradise Lost," and " Marmion."—(Hear, and laughter.) If the request of the National Society was granted they would have to grant the requests of other parties—dissenting societies, for instance. The numbers of churchmen and dissenters in England he found to be —taking the population at 13,000,000—dissenters, 8,400,000—(0h, and laughter)—churchmen the re mainder. He considered that, under the circumstances, and for the reasons alleged by the Noble Marquis, he was bound to give his opposition to the motion. The Bishop of SALISBURY said no one had endea voured to promote a harmonious co-operation between Church and State in educational matters more zealously than himself. Ten years ago, when an interruption of that harmony occurred, he had attempted to mediate be tween the Noble Marquis and other Noble Lords and the Right Rev. Prelates by proposing terms of conci liation and concession, which had resulted in a compro mise, Ile did not mean to approve of the extent to which the present Act had been carried out; but he thought it would be advisable to enter upon an inquiry into the whole subject in a calm and conciliatory spirit. He could not but look upon the system of education as carried out by the National Society with public money, is , connexion with the various religious bodies, as a great experiment. He admitted that some parts of the system were worthy of approval, but at the same time, he thought the system called for inquiry, and was ant.ceptible of great improvement. The expe riment with respect to the training schools particularly required to be watched with great care, and though he gladly admitted that much good had arisen, still he could not help stating that a growing dissatisfaction was manifesting itself in many quarters. To this point and to other points the attention of the Committee might be directed with benefit. A large body of persons had been educated for these schools, and the question arose whether education had not been pushed too far in this direction. Then he believed that the instruction which bad been given in some instances had not been of ttiat sort, or so useful (we understood) as could be wished. lie should look to this inquiry fur the removal of much unfounded apprehension and alarm, and for giving secu rity ageiast the introduction of any changes without affording an opportunity to the Church and Parliament of expressing their opinion, and the result would be, the attainment of that object which the Noble Marquis, no less than himself, had in view—namely, the sound edu cation of the people, by giving assistance to voluntary efforts. On these grounds he would support the motion. The Earl of caw RESTER said there was a time when he would have been dispoted to press such an in quiry more earnestly than now, and that was when the Committee of the Privy Council might have established a system of education without the knowledge or consent of Parliament. His only objection to the motion of his Noble Friend was, that at the present period of the session it would be quite impossible for such an inquiry to lead to any satisfactory result. He doubted if his Noble Friend was fully aware cf the immense mass of evidence which it would be necessary to bring before the Committee. With reference to the question of arbitra tion, he thought it might lead to inconvenience if all disputes were referred to the bishop; and ho also felt that it would be very unsatisfactory to have two systems of arbitration. But there was another Point to which ho would shortly advert. The members of the Church objected that any man should found schools and Lave the power of dictating to future generations in what way they should be managed, and to claim of grant of puolic money to assist him in carrying out any scheme which his whim might suggest. It was, therefore, necessary that the Government should exercise some control over the conveyances of property destined for such purposes. He hoped this laxity and freedom of choice would be resisted. The Bishop of OXFORD said the deep interest which he took in the subject under discussion must be his apo logy for addressing a very few words to their Lordships. In the first place, he must express his gratification at the tone in which the Noble Marquis (the Marquis of Lans downe) had answered the speech of the Noble Lord op posite (the Earl of Harrowby), a tone which had been preserved throughout the debate, with, perhaps, a sin gle exception. That exception he could not but regret, feeling that this was a national question, and should be free from all party views. —(Hear, hear.) But there was one ground of objection which had not yet been dealt with. The Church had been charged with a dread of perfecting education. But this was not the feet. God forbid! lie, and those who even went beyond him in n blaming the system, desired t o see the education of the people made pure and perf ec t. Th e Noble Mar l • had alluded to the jealousy of th e N at i onal Societe who acted with it of the p rocee di ngs of the G and their wish to ke e p th e l a i ty of the Societe ,a e cin r ud h l sm those t , e Church of Eng land out of the m anagement of schools, which they wished to confin e t ) c l ergymen. Ile could assure the Noble Marquis that he did not believe, and he claimed some right to know, that any such jealousy existed, or any suspicion of the co - operative and joint management of schools being given to the laity. But they had rea sonable ground of suspicion nevertheleis. They feared the interference, not of the laity, but of the State. Ho did not share to the full in all these suspicions, and he had faced many who, in an exaggerated way, had put forward these suspicions, and engaged in argument on the other side. But ho must take leave to say he thought there were grounds of suspicion. First of all, this move ment began with the position of establishing normal schools which should exclude all religious teaching, and it became necessary to watch that. They were not going back to that which was the originally avowed in tention. With reference to the arbitration, he could not ungerstand the justice of prohibiting all reference to the bishop of the diocese, even where the founder desired such au appeal to b i made, nor could he see why that which was granted to a Socinian or a Roman Catholic should be refused to members of the Church of England. Great objections were made against allowing the exercise of any discretion on the part of those by whom these cha rities were founded; but by adopting such a prineipl they would incur this great evil—they would check the flow of privsto charity.—(Hear.) It was o-i p rivate charity, , fitter all, thAt titoy mew depenl for their 13; 1115 support, wid not on the Government grants. Anethe!, most important ground of suspicion was, that persoeF experience proved that the power which held the par'' strings was the dominant power.
