Eliza Cook's Journal., ANNE DYSART ; OR, THE SCOTCH MINISTER'S DAUGHTER.— The Examiner, in its notice of this remarkable fiction, justly entitles it "a fascinating work of art. Anne Dysart is, indeed, as its title tells us, a tale of every-day life. The events, the characters, are such as we come into daily contact with. But the author brings to their contemplation that delightful freshness of the heart and mind to which no thing can ever grow stale or uninteresting; and a power of inspiring her readers hardly less with the same undying in terest and sense of novelty. The principal charm of the book consists in its numerous sketches of character, executed with a minute delicacy of touch, which yet has nothing of littleness in it. Every person of the drama is introduced with an unobtrusive delineation of his or her peculiarities, evincing a great power in the writer of seeing through character." IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, June 21. POST-uFFICE SUNDAY REGULATIONS. The NOBLE and LEARNED LORD entertained grave doubts whether the Crown could direct the abstinence from the delivery of Post-etlice letters on Sunday. Many of his friends hcd no doubt but that the or der of the Crown was illegal, inasmuch, as it was issued on the address of one House only. It would, it was conteru:ed, be illegal to act upon an address of both Houses, but he took up the ground that there wero certain taxes levied on the delivery of letters. Now, if that delivery was stop ped on Sunday, why not on Monday or any other day; why should nut the delivery of letters be stopped alto gether? The Marquis of LANSDOWNE had no hesitation in staving that the poiut would be taken into serious con sideration, although ho was not aware that any opinion ha i yet been taken on the subject, Lard BROUGHAM said that he intended no allusion to what had taken place elsewhere, nor did he niesn to imply the slightest disrespect to the House of Commons. Tne subject then dropped. ACCOMMODATION OF FOREIGN MINISTERS IN THE HOUSE. The Marquis of LANSDO WNE rose to move the re solution of which he bad given notice with relation to the accommodation provided iu their Lordships' House for foreign Ministers. He would not further allude to too circumstance which they must all deplore, in consequence of which a most eminent member of the diplomatic body had been deprived of the: seat which he thought he had a fall right to oc cupy, more especially as on the door by winch he bad entered was inscribed, " For the Monsters of the Diplo matic Body." That eminent person, therefore, who was well known to their Lordships ' urged that be had a right to the seat which he occupied. The mistake was most unfortunate, and, in order to obviate such mistakes for the future, he moved the appointment of a Select Com mittee, of which he bad given notice. Lord BROUGHAM seconded the motion, in order to show that he entirely agreed with his Noble Friend. In so doing ho wished to state the circumstances which took place, because anything more complete than the gross misrepresentations which had gone forth to the public in the least decorous language that he had ever heard applied to any Member of either House of Parlia ment, be had never had occasion to read, and he believed his Noble Friend opposite entirely agreed with him in that remark. [The Marquis of Lansdowne assentel] lle did not recollect having named the gentleman to their Lordships.— (Hear, hear.) Ho recollected having pur posely abstained front so doing, because be felt sure that the moment their Lordships assented to his proposition that the order should be enforced, the gentleman would immediately lease his place. That being the case, it %as not from any the most remote approach even to wards personal disrespect to that individual that he so proceeded. In common with his Noble Friend opposite, he entertained the greatest respect for that individual, for his attainments, fur his station, as well as for his character. He was upon the most friendly footing with him. It was from no disrespect either to his functions of envoy that he took that course. If the individual had been one of their Lordships, who had an undoubted right to be in that place, and who could not have been challenged for being in that place, he should have taken leave, with all possible tenderness and respect towards the wrong-doer, to have entered his protese against his remaining there.—(Bear and laughter.) It had been said that he (Lord Brougham) and his Noble Friend the Chancellor of tbe Ducey of Lancaster (the Earl of Carlisle) had been seen repeatedly in the Peeresses' Gal lery .—(A laugh.) To be sure they had, over and over again. But never, he would venture to say, did either his Noble Friend or himself keep a seat in the Peeresses' Gallery when peeresses were standing at the door and could not obtain a seat.— (Hear, hear.) That (said the Noble and Learned Lord) is the question. No gentle man in England, at least, be he a member of this House or I believe of the other—(Laughter)---but I can only speak of the House to which I have the honour of belong in—no gentleman in England, in Parliament or out, will ever keep a seat to the exclusion of a lady who is unable to obtain a seat. When the noble ladies in question — amongst them the nearest relation of my Noble Friend whose conduct was to form; he subject of that night's debate—came to the door, they tound the peeresses' place absolutely full—they found it utterly impossible to obtain standing room. I then, as I thought, courteously —I am sure I intended nothing uncourteous—l cour teously addressed myself three times over to the highly respectable individual—l three times over stated that ladies were at the door, peeresses who had an undoubted right to be in the gallery. I then stated most cour teously that there was a place for that individual below, appointed for him to occupy. Perhaps he, being a foreign gentleman, did not understand me.—(Laughter.) And why do I say hs did not understand me? Because he never took the slightest notice of what I said—he never even looked towards me.—(Laughter.) But be heard what I said. And I repeatedly said, " I shall be under the disagreeable necessity of applying to the House to enforce the standing orders." Still no notice. 'And even after I was speaking in the Houses and after the order had been read by my Noble and Learned Friend on the Woolsack, the gentleman, igno rant of our language—(Laughter)—took not the slightest notice. I have no doubt part of this was owing to the inscription over the door, cf which I at that time was not aware. I ought to mention that one or two peeresses left the House and went home in consequence of their places being occupied.—(Hear, hear.) The Noble and Learned Lord then proceeded to say that in this country there was not the slightest disposition to show any disrespect to any rank of diplomatic agents.— (Hear, hear.) On the contrary, rank had been accorded to them in a most ample manner. They had been by royal mandate endorsed with rank which never had before belonged but to the representatives of sovereigns, Their Lordships were aware that an ambassador was on a different footing with that of an envoy.—(Hear, hear.) An ambassador represented the sovereign, and ranked before some of the peers, but an envoy represented nobody but the minister of a f ore i gn sovereign. A few years ago. sank - was given to all envoys, down to those coming from even the least im portant states, before earls and marquises.. [A Peer— " No: beforetEarls."3 He supposed hi s Noble Friend had taken care they should not go before Mar quises.—(Laughter.) The Marquis of LA.NSDOWNE—They do go before Marquises.—(Continued laughter.) Lord BROUGHAM—But did any Noble Earl or any Noble Marquis object on that account? No such thing. That was a clear proof that no disrespect was intended these representatives of other powers.—(klear, hear.) He thought the accommodation to be provided ought to be confined to ambassadors, envoy s, charg6 de affaires, ministers, p leni p otentiaries, and'secretaries of legation.—(Hear, hear.) Earl GREY said the distinguished individual alluded to did not understand that he was appealed to—as the Noble and Learned Lord had stated—to make able , from feelings of courtesy, for ladies who were not his impression was, to find places. On the contrary, that he was summoned out of the place where he was sitting in such a manner that he thought it due to self, and the body of which ho was a member, to decline moving.—(Hear, hear.) He (Earl Grey) afterwards heard the order made by the House, and took shame to himself for not baying suggested to their Lordships that order which , u nder the circumstances, ou g h t not i t t o washa an ve beef made. But, undoubtedly, the occurrence d so rapidly that the idea did not strike bias at the tunes'iiss Th e individual to whom allusion bad bsen made did not conceive the appeal was made to him to do what t h e Noble and Learned Lord said no gentleman here or elsewhere would do, whether he had a right to maintain his place or not. If the appeal had been made in that /•' . •7 manner, be was quite sure the gen:lemma would not halve kept his seat. lie telLved thcie were ladies there who wcre not eniitled to that place uncler the orders cf ;heir Leordqiips' House, and he was not surc that the Noble. and Learned Lord was not also aware of that circum stanee.—(Hear, hear, and laughter.) vt'.l Lord BROUGHAM. declared that he was perfectly unaware of it. He teak up two ladies—a peeress and a peer's daughter, who is married. He only asked a place for a near relative of a noble viscount (a vis countess), whose place was undeniably fixed by order of the House, and who teas naturally anxious to hear what world be said re:pceting her noble relative. Another, still nearer, was obliged to get a seat in the box below the bar.—(Neer. hear.) The Marquis of LONDONDER:iY understocd that a letter had been written to the Noble Lord the Secretary fer Foreign Affairs, by the Chevalier Bunsen, on this particular question, and he wished to know whether the Noble Marquis would lay that letter on the table in order that the Committee might be in full the statements on both side s . possession of Lord BROUGHAM could not irnajae anything more absural.—(L,u , hter.) lie hail felt hound to make the statement he had now laid before their Lordships in consequence t f the indecorous misstatements which had be,li laid before the public. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE considered the pro duction of the letter referred to perfectly unnecessary. Measures were now iu progress to prevent the recurrence of any mistake, and the production of such a letter would seem to imply that the alteration was made in consequence of the statements contained in that letter. The Marquis of BREADALDANE said, he thought the Noble and Learned Lord, in the excitement of the moment and in his anxiety to provide accommodation for those noble ladies, had forgotten what really hap pened, and he wished to ask the Noble and Learned Lord whether he did not address that excellent gentle man from the House, and say to him "Now, will you come down?"—(Laughter.) Lord BROUGHAM—No, no.—(Great laughter.) The Marquis of BREADALBANE was told so by a person who was present at the time. Lord BROUGHAM said his Noble Friend, one of the hereditary judges of the land, showed a total ignorance of the rules of evidence.—(Load laughter.) He did not speak of him in his character of Lord Chamberlain, or class him with his.predeces4or in Shakspere; but, as a Peer of Parliament, he must say that he had not the slightest notion cf the law of evidence.— (Laughter.) The Noble Lord said he was not pre sent, but that he heard what passed from some one who was present.—(Laughter.) Did he say he was present at the time? The Marquis of BREADALBANE—IIe was not a member of your Lordships' House. Lord BROUGHAM (with energy)—Then he misin formed the Noble Lord—(with increased energy)—ho totally, entirely, and grossly misinformed the Noble Lord; and the Noble Lord may tell him I say it. TA° Earl of HARROWBY had bees acquainted for many years with that most excellent individual (Chevalier Bunsen), and willingly bore testimony to his character as a gentleman. If that excellent individual had had the slightest idea ho was ap pealed to as a gentleman be would not have hesitated to remove. Ho (Lord Harrowby) was certain that this gentleman was under no such impression at the titre. He considered he had been requested —not to make room for ladies—but to quit a place which ho was entitled to occupy as Ilia Minister of a foreign court. He would again say, he had been acquainted fur twenty eight years with that gentleman, and he knew him to be incapable of doing anything to impair his character as a gentleman, or to impair his character as an observer of the courtesies of lire, which courtesies he was sure that gentleman would he the first to oll'or any one. As that gentleman's character had been impeached in their Lord ships' liouz;e, and the circumstances divulged to the world, he could not withstand the opportunity of coaling forward in defence of an old and attached friend. The Committee was then agreed to. The Earl of HARROWBi . postponed his motion on education from Friday to Monday week, in order to make way for tho Irish franchise question. The Marquis of LANSI)OWNE had no objection to fix the debate on the Irish franchise for next Friday. The Earl of CARLISLE brought in a Bill for the better ventilation of coal mines and protection of miners. The Bill WM read a first time. Thar Lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, June 21. NATIONAL EDUCATION (IRELAND). On the motion for going into Suppiy, Hr. HAMILTON rose to move, that an humble ad dress be presented to her Majesty, praying that she will be graciously pleased to direct that such a modification of the system of national education in Ireland may be made as may remove the conscientious objs c tions which a large proportion of the clergy and laity of the Established Church entertain to that sys tem as at preeeat carried into operation; or otherwise, that means may be taken to enable those of the clergy and laity of the Established Church, who entertain such conscientious objections, to extend the blessings of scriptural education in Ireland. He said he felt it ne cessary to apologise to the House for bringing forward the subject ,on the occasion of going into Supply, but it Was of such importance that he had felt himself compelled to take this course lie had no intention to throw out any insinuation against the National Board of Education in Ireland. His object was to state to the House the hardships and injustice under which 1,730 out of 2,040 of the clergy of the Es tablished Church in that country, as well as 100,000 of the laity of that Church, were suffering in consequence of the present state "of college education. The Church of Ireland was placed in a very anomalous and objection able position in regard to education, and he was anxious to press on her Majesty's Government the necessity of ap plying some remedy for the purpose of altering that posi tion. Ile was quite ready to acknowledge the question of education in both countries was surrounded by diffi culties, but more particularly in Ireland; ho appreciated those difficulties, and was therefore ready to con cede as tar as possible the views which had Brea taken on this important subject by her Majesty's Government. In consequence of those difficulties very great concessions and sacrifices of opi nion had been made of late years. Formerly education was considered to be in a groat degree connected with the Established Church. Now the system of State edu cation was of a denominational character; in England it way almost entirely so, and in Ireland it was practically se. No one could doubt that the 2,500 schools under the su perintendence of the Roman Catholic Church, and the' 400 schools under the control of the Presbyterian clergy, were conducted upon a scriptural system. Well, then, if that could not be disputed, was it strange that the pe culiar tenets taught in those schools were adverse to those taught by the Established Church? The result of this state of things wee, then, that the members of the Established Church were altogether excluded from par ticipating in the advantages of the national system. The clergy of the Established Church in Ireland con• sidered that they were peculiarly bound to main tain the principles of the Reformation ; and they were of opinion that the present system of national education was entirely at variance with the principles of the Refertnation. They claimed the privilege of being treated in the same manner as their brethren of the Established Church in this country. They objected entirely to the rules and regulations of the National Society for Education, and the means by which it carried oat its obiects. He believed that a latitudi narian or secular system of education was as repugnant to Roman Catholics us it was to Protestants; therefore any thing tending to that end would be very objectionable. Most of the clergy men of the Established Church in Ireland, as well as many Roman Catholics, were in favour of a national system of education, based on the same principles as those on which the schools now in existence had been founded. He had no doubt that the clergy and laity connected with the Established Church in Ireland, on whose representations he had been induced to make the present motion, would be successful in their appeal to the good sense and justice. of the House. The lion. and Learned Member cuncladed by ' proposing the motion, which is given above. Mr. WALPOLE said he hal great pleasure in se condiug the motion of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman,' because he believed that no more reasonable proposition could be submitted to the House. He thought it was ir resistible on two grounds—on the ground of justice and also as a matter of national policy. The system of edu• cation in England and Ireland was essentially different. In this country the principle upon which education wail based was a most liberal one ; whereas, in Ireland the system was one of religious exclusion. In England the public grants for education were fairly divided between a m ll ad re e li a g p io p u li s ca p li a l r e tie t s o ; o N i v s lelecroemasbinined Ireland the fund was hers of th e G overnment stated, on var i o us occasions, . The nrm that a combined system would not a nswer here, because, as they urged, it would have the effect of excluding cer tain religious parties from the benefit of such a system. Yet they attempted to carry out this system in Ireland ; the effect of which was to exclude from the public grans for education those schools where the Scriptures were read without note or comment. It was true that the all parties, but this had amon g st that the only system system in Ireland had been proposed for the purpose of producing goodwill He contended to give grants to enable f t is h i a le t d co i u n la its w e o f r f k ec e ts ff . a ll c lasses of religionist s to educate their children in se cordance with their o wn r eli g ious views. There were in Ireland 1,861 schools, in which 1 20 , 00 0 children were educated, of whom 15,000 were dissenters, and 46,000 Catholics. Those were grounds upon which in justice, if not in policy, they ought to accede to the principle" of general instruction, to which the members of the Church Establishment should receive the same advan tage as the Roman Catholics, and ho hoped the Noble Lord would yield to the considerations he had sug gested. Sir WM. SOMERVILLE said, that though this mo tion professed not to have in view the reversal of the existing system of education in Ireland, yet it was di rectly calculated to accomplish that object. The pre sent system of education in Ireland, which was intro duced by Lord Stanley, to whom in this respect the country was under deep obligations, was essentially an united system of education. It bad now been in farce for eighteen years, and hitherto had been attended with considerable advantage. Now the modification which the motion of the lion. Member opposite was aiming at, might be inferred from the petition which the Hon. Member had alluded to, which evidently showed that the great point of objection was a supposed exclusion of the Holy Scriptures from the course of education. Ho denied, however, that the Bible was excluded from these Irish national schools. The only law on this subject was, that the reading of the Bible should be made com pulsory against those who entertained conscientious scruples in their religious views, He would ask, too, whether the present system pursued in the national schools of Ireland was not that also pursued in the workhouse schools, and in the gaols? Besides, they could not establish a separate system with respect 1 to the Church of Ireland, without establishing a _'tom \,ISAN.;
