HOUSE OF COMMONS, Miurcil 6. to introduce into that country. A great deal had beer, said as to the mutilation of the Scriptures; but he di , not, however, entertain the slightest suspicion tha' the Right Honourable Secretary had any wish or intention of desecrating them either by mutilation or otherwise; all he objected to was, that the Scriptures had not been made by him, as they ought to have been, the final and only groundwork of his system. The scheme of educa tion in Scotland had for upwards of 200 years wrought well; but when he considered the scheme proposed for Ireland by a Protestant Government, he could not but say that it was objectionable in principle, and would be ineffi cient in practical operation. A combined system of education would never succeed in Ireland. He hoped that the fund provided by Government for the purposes of education in Ireland would be withdrawn, and that the instruction of the poor would be left to indi viduals and private societies. He expressed a hope that in the estimates to he shortly brought before the House not one single shilling would be allowed for this purpose.

London : Longman, Rees, Orme, Brown, and Co. Of whom may be had, The SPEAKER took his seat at Four o'clock, and for a considerable time the House was occupied in advancing various Private Bills a stage. Lord GROSVENOR brought in a Bill for enlarging the church of St. Mary, in the County Palatine of Chester, which was read a first time. Mr. STANLEY thought it would be most convenient to take that opportunity, although somewhat unusual on the presentation of a petition, to make some general observations upon the system of education which Government were now endeavouring to introduce in Ireland, and which he com plained had been not a little misunderstood. He said " en - , leavoured to introduce " because he entirely agreed with the assertion that the present system was only to be considered as an experiment—as an endeavour to carry into practice, under circumstances of peculiar difficulty, what had been sanctioned by commission after commission, by Committee after Committee, and had received from time to time the warm approbation of the Legislature of the United Kingdom. Among the variety of those motives which might have led to that opposition which he regretted prevailed to so great an extent against the present system, he would endeavour to speak of none which would not do credit to the source from which they had arisen. If he was to say that there was one body in Ireland dis tinguished for eminent scriptural piety, moral conduct, and discipline among their members, and for enforcing habits of good order, loyalty, religion, and morality, among those committed to their charge, that body was the Presbyterian Synod of Ulster, from whom a petition against this system emanated.—(Hear.) He trusted his Noble Friend would believe that he (Mr. S.) could be actuated by no feelings towards such a body as that of the Presbyterians of Ireland, except those of the sincerest respect for their opinion and of the most anxious wish that he were able to coincide with them in their senti ments. He was far from saying the system of education which his Majesty's Government proposed to adopt in Ireland was a perfect system—he was very far from saying it was one which was designed for Protestants alone, or one even the least open to objection ; but the House would recollect that the great object the Legislature and the Government had in view, was to succeed in the endeavour of uniting in one common cause, and one system of education, the religious education of the Irish population. They were not about to introduce a system of education for the Protestants alone, or for the Catholics alone, but a system which should combine Protestants and Catholics together, and of which the fruit might be that which was said in the Holy Scripture s to be the fruit of our religion—love, peace, meekness, and gentleuess—(Cheers). He agreed with his Noble Friend there could net be a heavier im putation thrown upon the Government, nor one of which Government ought to be so much ashamed, as that, with a view of not conciliating, they had refused to adopt suggestions which, within their own minds, they might consider deserving of adoption. In the present system there was no sacrifice of principle— no departure which the most conscientious Protestant might not sanction, from the most strictly Protestant system, in that system which was proposed to he introduced. The Hon. Gentleman who had just sat down had taken for his text a letter which purported to contain the principles of the system intended to be carried into effect ; end as that letter proceeded from himself (Mr. S. ), he hoped to be able to vindicate all that was laid down in it. One of the principal objections urged against the system was, the power given to one of the Members of the Board to select such books as should be used by the children. Now, this was an objection which might al ways be urged by the Presbyterians of Ireland and Scotland as fatal to any system that could possibly he proposed, in which a Board was to act. The Kildare-street Society was subject to the sante objection, but yet a single objec tion on this ground had never been raised to that Society. Whatever merit or censure this system might he entitled to, that merit or censure belonged not to the present Go vernment; because his Majesty's Government hail lite rally and solely carried into effect the recommendations of the Committee of the House of Commons, that Commit tee having carefully observed the recommendations of vari ous Commissioners at various times appointed to inquire into the system of education in Ireland.—(Cheers.) A very warm but very unfounded charge had been made against this plan of education that it was to introduce a mutilation of the Scriptures; and, taking this for granted, it was inconceivable how much misconception and how much clamour have been raised upon it. It was said that Government was about to take away from the Protestant population of Ireland the free and unrestricted use of the Bible. (Hear, hear, hear.) This he flatly denied. Government was asked, too, if they paid no respect to the petition of 230,000 of the Protestants of Ireland against this system ?—(Hear.) Government was disposed to respect all the petitions of the Protestants of Ireland, but when he (Mr. S.) recollected the manner in which that petition was got up, the allegations it contained, and its avowed ground, it was clear that it was not against the system the petition was presented, but against robbing their children of the free and unrestricted use of the Bible. That was the ground upon which the petition was presented, because at the time the petition was got up, they were induced to be lieve their children would be deprived of the free and unrestricted use of the Word of God. Now he admitted that his letter contained the principles on which the system proposed to act, and he called upon any gentleman to show from that letter one single sentence, which either distinctly or by implication said, or could be construed to mean, that the Protestant children of Ireland were not intended to have the free and unrestricted use of the Scriptures. Upon this point he begged to call the attention of the House to the 16th report of the Commissioners; and in the first place entreated Hon. Members to recollect who those in dividuals were who were appointed on that commission. He would trouble the House with an extract from the report of those Commissioners, to show that Minis ters were not to be denounced as anti-Protestant or anti-Scriptural. Now as to the control over the books to be used, it had been the recommendation of all the Commissioners that a control should be vested in the Board over all books to be used in the school, but it was felt that as the Board must necessarily consist of Members of different persuasions, there would be a just ground of complaint, if the choice of books for Catholic children were vested in Protestants. It was therefore required that no control should be exercised over religious works, except by those Members of the Board who were of the same religious persuasion as the children who had to use them.—(Hear.) And he would undertake to say, that when he mentioned the names of Dr. Murray, Archbishop of Dublin, and Mr. Blake, Chief Remembrancer, no person would entertain the smallest fear that that control had been improperly exercised. That control, however, did not extend to those standard works of either one belief or the other, which were recognized by any Church as the rule of faith. For it would be as improper to exclude from the Presbyt er i ans t h e i r ru l e o f f a i t h , as to exc l u d e f rom t h e religious instruction of Protestant children the Bible itself, which was acknowledged as their safest rule of conduct. It was held that in a combined education it would be ne cessary that such books only should be introduced as were sanctioned by all the Members of the Board, and had obtained the approbation of the ministers of each religious persua sion. On reference to the 14th Report, the Commission ers expressed their opinion that a Board should be esta blished under the authority of an Act of Parliament, empowering them to receive and dispose of Parliamentary grants for b u ildi ng an d en d ow i ng schools; to d ec id e on the appointment, cond uc t, an d di sm i ssa l o f masters, to prescribe the mode of education, and to have the general control over the whole of the proposed establishments for the instruction of the lower classes. Their attention also was to be directed to the selection of proper books to be read in the schools, but nothing was to be taught without the approbation of the Commis sioners, nor any m o d e o f e d ucat i on introduced with out their sanction. B y t h at p l an the Commission ers anticipated that great advantages would result. They also stated the disadvantages that had resulted from the plan which had before been adopted, and A petition was presented by an Hon. Member from Gravesend, against the Gravesend Pier Bill, which was referred to the Committee upon the Bill. MORTIMER'S COMMERCIAL DICTIONARY, 255. MANOR'S UNIVERSAL SHORT-HAND, G. bds.

LABOUR IN FACTORIES BILL. Mr. Alderman THO3IPSON presented five petitions in favour of the Labour in Factories Regulation Bill. As the Bill had been referred to a Select Committee, he would not trouble the House further than to state that the peti tions were most numerously and respectably signed. The petitions, which were from the inhabitants of the 3linories, Bishopsgate, Shoreditch, Hoxton, and White chapel, were then real, mid ordered to be referred to the Committee on the B 11. EDUCATION IN IRELAND. Mr. J. GORDON rose to present some petitions upon the subject of national education in Ireland. The first was signed by a Nobleman, several clergymen, and a number of freeholders in the county of Tipperary. They stated that as the Scriptures were the word of God, they should be the only infallible rule of practice, and therefore there should be an unlimited use of them, and not a partial use.; that one of the principal causes of the absence of Scriptural education was the opposition of the Ro man Catholic clergy to the circulation of the Scriptures ; they regretted the withdrawal of the Govern ment support Iron' certain societies in Ireland established to encourage scriptural education,and they protested strongly against the new plan of education proposed by Government. They prayed that no Parliamentary grant might be made to carry into effsa:t that plan. A second petition was from certain Protestant clergymen and other Protestants in Clonmel ; and but for the system of terror and intimida tion pursued in that part of the country, he (Mr. Gordon) would undertake to say, that for every one who sign, d the petition, there would have been ten. The third petition was from the Minister and Congregation of Port Mahon, in the county of Down, upon the same subject. Lord ACHESON supported the prayer of the petitions. He had one upon the same subject, but he was afraid that he should not have an opportunity of presenting it. He would, however, shortly state his objections to the plan proposed by his Majesty's Government. The peti tion with which he was entrusted was from a highly respectable and influential body of men, the Presbyteria❑ Ministers of the Synod of Ulster, con vened to take the new plan of education into considera tion. They expressed their gratitude to the House for the support they had hitherto given to education in Ire land, but they deeply regretted the proposed alte ration in the system of education. He did not wish to enter into the comparative merits of any particular plan of education ; the question was merely whether the particular plan proposed by his Majesty's Go vernment could or could not with propriety be introduced in Ireland, and whether the effects were likely to be such as the proposers of it expected when they introduced it. Among other objections there was one peculiar to them selves. They stated that by the plan one of their body would he appointed to a situation at a Board, which would exercise its supreme control over schools and school books, and that that was entirely contrary to the essential points of the doctrines and opinions of their church ; that the arrangement destroyed the Ministerial character, and put over them a sort of control which was not consistent with their tenets. The petitioners also stated another objection to the plan, namely, the power it gave of appointing and removing schoolmasters, tak ing that patronage out of the hands of the Protest ants, and placing it in the hands of the Members of that body. The great objection, however, brought for ward by the Protestants and Presbyterians for the mea sure was, that extracts selected by the Board were to be used as school books, to the exclusion of the Bible, and thereby the Protestants would be deprived of the free use of the Scriptures. If it was intended that those extracts were to be garbled, be (Lord Acheson) should be the first man to come forward and give his op position to that course of proceeding ; but after extracts were made, as he had every reason to believe they would be, so as to form no concessions on the part of the Protestants to the Catholics, he did not see what great objection there could be to the use of such extracts. It was asserted also that, by this plan, the Protestants were to be deprived of the use of the Bible. He (Lord Acheson) did not profess himself to be altogether friendly to the plan, as lie thought it would, ultimately, be found impracticable, but he was a well-wisher to his Majesty's Government, and would support them when their motives were good ; he must therefore protest against the insinuations and positive as sertions which bad gone forth in Ireland that the motive which induced Ministers to bring forward the plan which they now proposed was to deprive the Protestants of the free use of the Bible, and he appealed to the House whether there was a single sentence or word in the plan that could lead to such an interpretation. He re gretted that the present line of opposition had not been rather less, as it had been the means of exciting in the minds of the people of Ireland a feeling of suspicion arising from the most unfounded insinuations, which had induced them to look on the future measures of Ministers with rather a jealous eye.—(Hear, hear.) The objections he (Lord Acheson) had to the plan was that the greater the number of schools that were adopted under it, the less would be the power of the ministers to give instructions, and, therefore, until that objec tion was removed, he could not give it bis support. He hoped the time was not far distant when all the differ ences of party would be turned aside, and when the men of might and influence in Ireland would come to the consi deration ol the subjects interesting to their country unbiassed by sectarian prejudices. He spoke upon the subject as a sincere and candid friend of the Ministry; he did not ascribe to them any unworthy motives in the promulgation of their system ; and indeed if he considered that the motives which had been imputed to Government were justly ascribed to them, he should instantly withdraw that support which he had hitherto humbly but sincerely given to them. He would take another opportunity of presenting the petition. Sir ALEX. JOHNSTONE cordially concurred in the views expressed by the Noble Lord who had just sat down. He was happy, however, to find that the Right Hon. Secretary considered this scheme only as an experi ment; sure he was that it never could practically succeed. There had been many imputations upo❑ the inefficiencY of the Kildare-street Society; but they were wholly groundless; and he submitted that the strictures of the Right Honourable Secretary for Ireland upon its operation could not be substantiated. He was well aware of the difficult and most embarrassing circum cumetances in which the Government was placed in Ireland, but without impugning their principles or motives, he was constrained to say that they bad overlooked principle, and consulted only expediency, in this scheme of education which they were attempting LOUDON'S GARDENING, AGRICULTURE, &c.

(PRICE ID.) complained of works of a most improper cha. racter having been introduced by the parents of •he children, which was an evil the Commissioners were desirous of remedying. Such books had be generally introduced without the masters exercising ,any discretion, and such as the parents thought were easiest read. The Commissioners therefore recommended that no books should be admitted which had not the sanction of the Board. The Right Honourable Gentleman then adverted to the charge of mutilating the Scrip tures—a charge which he said was a most awful one. The Synod of Ulster asserted in their petition the doctrine that it was the right of every man freely and fully to enjoy the use of the Holy Scriptures. From that doctrine he did not dissent ; but he asked those gentlemen whether they were prepared to give the free and unlimited use of the Scriptures —not to every man, but to every child ? Were they prepared to place in the hands of their own children the whole of the Scriptures without note or comment ?—(Hear.) Were they prepared to place in children's hands the whole of the Bible, leaving it to themselves to pick out those parts most beneficial for them ?—(Some Member here called out " Question.") He begged pardon, but that was the question. He asked whether it would be proper in a combined edu cation to offend the Protestant or Catholic by the hitt oduc lion of the whole of the Scriptures, to which they could not assent, and leave them to judge what portion was best for them and what not ? Upon that sub ject he begged to read an extract of a letter from a Preshyt-rian minister of the Board, the Rev. James Carlisle. A man of more unblemished piety, or possessing a more deeply rooted sense of religion than that gentleman, did not exist. He was a member of the Pres byterian Synod of Ulster, was secretary to a Bible Society, and a member of almost every religious society in Ireland. If the House would permit him, he would read what the view of the individual to whom he had referred was, with respect to the plan proposed by his Majesty's Govern ment. He stated that it laid no obstacles or impedi menta in the way of any children reading the Scriptures, whose parents were desirous, bona fide, that they should do so, but that the late system compelled parents to suffer their children to read the works pub lished by the Society under the penalty of forfeiting their whole education. Was this, he would ask, the language of a man unacquainted with the Scriptures, or one who held the present plan in disrepute ? He would ask, could any man read the passages to which lie had referred, and say that by the system intended to be adopted, the Bible would be mutilated ? It was said that the selection from the Scriptures were exceedingly unjust and improper. Why, in the 14th report of the Commis sioners, there was a provision which stated that in the cir culation of books for the use of the schools, it would be necessary to select such books as were fitting 14 the education of the children, but not the whole Bible, but ample extracts from it. It therefore ap peared to the Commissioners that it was only necessary the most important passages of the sacred history should be included, in which all the precepts of morality were brought forward and enforced. In that opinion his Majesty's Go vernment entirely concurred ; they thought that volu minous extracts would form the best criterion and standard for the education of children. Was the House, he would ask, prepared to allow the evidence of the Divines he had alluded to ; and if they did, could they in corn mon sense say, that they had recommended a rob bery of the Bible ?—(Much cheering.) If there was any difference in the present plan to that which bad hitherto ex isted—it was that it would further it. He wished to state, for the information of those who were against the with drawal of the grant to the Kildare-street Society, and who stated that that society did not deal in extracts, but fur nished the whole—that according to the report of the Commissioners, very few extracts were given from the Bible, and that it was not included in the books given by the Society. He (the Right Ho nourable Secretary) had seen extracts from several other works used by that Society, which be was sure the House would consider as a mutilation of the Scriptures ; if they were not, he did not know what mutilations were. It had been asked what could a Board, formed of Catholics, Protes tants, Presbyterians, and religious characters of every denomination do, as there would always be dissensions among them ? In answer to that argument he would state that the greatest harmony existed among all the Members of the Board, that there had not been a division a mong them, and that the two Roman Catholic Members had had no difficulty whatever in drawing up such books as were considered necessary to the edu cation of the children. The Hon. Gentleman opposite had thought fit to assume that the Protestants of Ireland could not safely rely on the Protestant Archbishop of Dublin—that he was at variance with his clergy, who had pledged themselves, before they were aware or had an op. portunity of knowing the merits of the measure, to give it their determined and systematic opposition. If from that it was meant to be inferred that the Arch bishop of Dublin disapproved of the system of education proposed by his Majesty's Government, he (the Right Hon. Secretary) would take upon himself to assert, that there was no statement more utterly without foundation than that. There were some who said (whose opinion he disregarded) that he was not a Protestant alone, but a liberal Protestant. He would say, those gentlemen had no right to assume that, because he had liberality of mind, he could not therefore feel so deeply an interest in religion as those who talked more of it, but did not think more of it, If Hon. Gentlemen wished to know Mr. Carlisle's motive for connecting himself with this Committee, he would read them an extract from a letter which he had written. He said, " that setting apart four er five classes of persons whose motives for opposition were bare faced, there is a remnant of persons who object to the Government plan, or stand aloof from it, whom I much respect.—( Hear.) And it is one of my greatest trials, that I have felt myself compelled to adopt and persevere in a course which these persona dis approved of. I would not be understood, how ever, as intimating that I should stand alone among those with whom I was accustomed to co-operate. My motives are simple and scriptural, and if they be other wise, I pray God to change them, and direct me to a course consistent with his will. I connect myself with the Board from a desire to do my duty to the Go vernment of the country, for the success of not only a lawful but a wise measure, awl the hope of promoting the peace and well-being of the people too long subjected to the operation of a system which outrages the first principhs of Christianity." He would say that if all men were actuated by the same spirit, if all men conducted themselves on the same motives, he should not look upon this as a doubtful experiment, but as a question already decided, as an ex periment that would not fail to contribute to the educa tion, but to the harmony and peace of Ireland. He looked on it still as an experiment, and it remained to be seen whether party prejudices—whether religious animosity-- whether political rancour, were sufficient to prevent the two great parties in Ireland from meeting together and joining their children in one common system of education, which will promote among them in after-life the har monies and charities of common brotherhood.—(Hear, hear.) He believed that common instruction in their respective religions opinions would be well calculated to promote this, and always preferring a good Roman Catholic to a bad Protestant—although there were errors undoubtedly in the Romish Church— he would anticipate as the result of this plan, if angry feelings were kept down, the b e st and most satisfactory effects on the future peace, interests, and welfare of the people.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. LEFROY said that the charge which he should prefer directly against the system was, that it actually ex cluded the Scriptures from forming any part of it. For this reason he must dissent from the eulogium pronounced upon the plan by the Right Hon. Gent. (Mr. Stanley), as the subject of that eulogium involved a departure from the basis of all Christian principle. In testimony of this, they had the letter of the Right Hon. Gent. and the fact of the old system being superseded, which allowed the reading of the Scriptures without note or comment. I t di d not ap pear to himto be any advantage th a t t h e new p l an pro vided selections as recommended by former Committees. He must persevere in objecting to a system which recom mended these selections to the exclusion of the Scriptures themselves.__(Hear, hear.) In touching upon this point his complaint was not solely made on behalf of his fellow Protestants, but also on behalf of his Roman Catholic brethren. lie must regret on account of the lat ter that a system, by which they had access to the Bible when they thought fit, had been superseded, and another substituted which rendered it impossible for any Roman Catholic child to get access to the Divine Word. And as to the charge of proselytism advanced against the friends 2ru Per Ceti . , Pk 4,-c.)ln . - - of Bible oircnlation, could thtee he 1: eiterthitter sarcasm on the Catholic religion th!n to w o rt t h at t h e diffusion of the Scriptures without note or comment among its adherents, must nectssarily lead to proselytism? What got the principles ofThe Rerormation established in Great Britain and Irelasi until they became the national eligion, b u t th a t it as granted t h at every man should lave the lib e rty of juo:mg for himself, and arriving at such conclusio ns as hi s ,consc i ence cou ld j ust if y ? H e would refer to what hat been done by the prohibited system. Th roug h i ts aperation between 40,000 and a 50,000 Roman Catholics —are in the enjoyment of reading the Scriptures in the schools of the Kildare-place Society. Be it recollected, that it was not compulsory on parents to send their children to these schoole. They were free in this particular ; and it appeared likewise, by the report of 1828, that they were paid S e h oo l s, an d i n every one of them were the Scriptures introduced. In 4,000 and odd schools, the Catholic masters amothited to 2,607. It had ein stated that the Roman Catholic were not disposed to make tr , e of the Scriptures. He would meet this state ment by declaring, what was a fact, that some Roman Catholics had preferred to be debarred from communion with their Church rather than withdraw :heir .ehildren from the schools where the Scriptures were read. PO less than six Catholics had been excommunicated for assert ing their right to select a place of education for their children. The evidence annexed to the report of the Com missioners in 1825 went to substantiate the point, and by the report itself it appeared that the priests were nut unanimous in opposing the education of the Catholics en the plan of the Kildare-place Society, seventy-five of their body haviag co-operated with the association. It bad been advanced, as a taunt against the Society, that to accom modate the Catholics they had made selections from their own Scriptures for the use of schools ; but the Society had never set itself up for being high Protestant or low Protestant, but was a medium merely for bestowing the advantages of education without attempting proselytism. That system had worked well, and a serious charge lay against the present Government for having extinguished it in a country where it was so surpassingly difficult to pre vail upon men to co-operate for the maintenance of any system. He would ask the House what system had ever' given universal satisfaction in that country, or in any other ? Even the great Reform Bill bad fallen short of affording general contentment, and were they to reject a tried and useful plan because it had failed to satisfy a pare ticular order of clergy, or a certain section of the people? From the letter of the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Stan ley) it would be seen that the Scriptures would be inter dicted under the present system. That letter alleged that. according to the tenets of the Roman Catholic Church, children could not be permitted to read the Scripturee without note or comment, and in this way they were not to be entrusted even to adults. Mr. STANLEY requested the Hon. Member to read the passage of his letter, which he said had been suite mis represented by the Hon. Member. Mr. LEFROY was quite as incapable of misrepresent• ing as the Right Hon. Gentleman. He did not anticipate tich a charge from the Right Hon. Gentleman's habits in the House.—(Cries of " Read.") STANLEY admitted that he had used a harsh ex pression, but insisted that the words of his letter bad been misrepresented, although, he was sure, quite unin tentionally. Mr. LEFROY referred to the letter in question, and cited a passage, stating that the principles of the Roman Catholic Chinch were totally at variance with the indis criminate reading of the Scriptures, and that it denied even to adults the right of private interpretation with re spect to articles of religious faith. Now, added the Hon. Member, the Right Hon. Gent. has had the benefit of his own letter, and it appeared that it was in deference to this principle of the Catholic Church that the Kildare-place Society was to be extinguished, and a novel system of ex periment put in its atrad. He would again refer to the Right Hon. Gent's. letter, which stated that the Board would exercise control _over the books to be used in the schools for moral and literary instruction. Of course into these schools the Scriptures, without note or com ment, were not to be admitted. But further, in the se parate schools for religious instruction, the introduction of books was to be expressly regulated by the Members of the Board of the particular persuasions of the pupils. The direct tendency of this would be of necessity to preclude the Catholics from the perusal of the Scriptures, and he could not but characterise a system of education which, omitting to provide for the introduction of the inspired writings, provided for their exclusion, not only as unpro testant but unchristian. He had no objection to the in troduction of a book composed of selections from the Scriptures; hut he had strong objections to any rule, of which the tendency was to exclude the Scriptures without note or comment.—( Hear.) Mr. CRAMPTON was surprised to hear his Hon. and Learned Friend charging the Irish Government with sup porting a system which was at once anti-national and anti- Christian. He denied that their system of education deserved any such opprobious epithets. If it were either anti-national or anti-Christian, why had his Hon. and Learned Friend not produced some other plan to supersede it? He maintained that there was not an objection which the gentlemen opposite had urged against the Govern ment plan of education which did not apply with equal force to the plan of the Kildare-place Society. His Hon. artd Learned Friend had arraigned the Irish Government for not giving a Christian education to the children of Ire land ; but if his Hon. and Learned Friend would only refer to the evidence which Mr. Beever had given respect.. ing the system of the Kildare-place schools, he would ask him whether, if it were such as Mr. Beever described it to be, it deserved the name of a system of Christian edu cation ? He contended at considerable length that the principles and spirit of religion were more consulted in the plan of Ministers than in the plan of the Kildare-street Society. The Protestants of the north of Ireland were not unanimous in their opposition to the plan of education proposed by Ministers; and he could venture to assert, that where opposition most prevailed, it was because the people had been deceived in being told that the Bible was to form no part of the education proposed. It bad been so stated at the meeting held at Exeter-hall, and which had btea attended by many Noble Lords and Hon. Gentle men, and at which many eloquent—he wished he could add wise—speeches bad been made. He had Leal in duced to attend that meeting himself, and was pre pared to have defended the Government to which he had the honour to be attached from the imputations by which they were assailed ; but on looking to the ticket of admission, he had found an endorsement on the back, containing the direction that no one would be allowed to take part in the proceedings of the meeting but such as were opposed to the proposed plan, and favourable to the resolutions to be adopted by the meeting—("Hear," and laughter) ;—and now the Hon. Member for Dundalk tri umphs in what lie is pleased to designate the unanimity which pervaded that meeting." Was this, he would ask, fair, and was it not rather too Parliamentary a mode of proceeding ? The question was simply, whether the Ro man Catholic population of Ireland were to have any or no education. He could not conceive any thing fairer than the plan proposed, by which the children, for four days in time week, were to receive moral and literary instruction, not excluding the Scriptures, which could be used for the purposes of instruction on the evenings of those days ; and on the remaining two days in the week the teachers of the children of each denomination or sect would have an op portunity of inculcating those principles which they se verally and respectively professed. —(Hear, hear.) Sir ROBERT BATESON dwelt at some length on the question, and averred that the whole of that respectable body of clergy composing the Synod of Ulster were unanimous in their opposition to the prrtpored plan, with the exception only of Mr. Carlisle, himself a member of the Board of Education. lie denied that any thing like partisanship or political feeling had been manifested at any of the numerous meetings which had been held, and parti cularized that at Exeter-ball, which had been alluded to. The example had been followed in Scotland, and he had no doubt would be responded to by the whole country. The proposition was generally unpopular, and in the north of Ireland so much so, that he was prepared to state, that from that quarter not one single application had been made to the new Board of Education on behalf of any of the schools. Indeed, 90 out of 100 of all sects in Ireland were opposed to this Ministerial plan of education. After a few words from Lord ACHESON, Sir R. BATE SON, and Mr. CRAMPTON, in explanation, Mr. J. BROWN expressed himself in favour of the system proposed by Government, which, in his opinion, was admirably calculated to impart instruction to the people of Ireland generally. The existing system was founded in a spirit of proselytism, and could never effect •ay good. Lord MANDEVILLE said they were told that the ob ject of the new system of education was to remove those feelings of asperity which prevailed in Ireland. He, how ever, believed that it would have no such effect, but that, on the contrary, it would rather tend to increase dissension. What Government proposed was not a national system of education by which the Scriptures would be fully taught, but one from which they would be absolutely excluded. He therefore was unfriendly to it. Mr. WYSE said the whole argument on the other side went to this,—th at Parliament ought to legislate exclu. 'lively for one party, instead of adopting a system really national, that would extend to all. Such a proposition was most utij,tst. if Ireland possessed those institutions which it was formerly intended she should posseni—if - $2; 1 1 1 'k ~' .
