l'Ar. CAVE 'Observed that-the reason why
.the promoters of
ftbdse 'Sehobis did not certify tinder the Indusirial Sehodls Act
'lvas'ilmt thereby they became liable to have cildren guilty of

'wrest crime sent there by the magistrates, which gave the
N-c:bool a penalcharacter. The management of such certified
schools ought to be transferred to the Home-office.
Mr. HENLEY observed that the great question was whether

the penal elemeht could be separated from the industrial
Pchoo!s. The present system, it was admitted, did not tench
those classes 'Or which it was intended, and the cbjeet of thno
'who desired Its alteration was a very wide one, and went to
the root of the educational 'system of the eosin try: He could
hot support a general proposition sued as that involved in the
'resolution, which professed to enlarge the present system so as
t 8 fill up the great existing gap, unless similar guarantees of
management were given as those which now existed in'schools
of a higher class under the management of the Privy Council.
Cart should be especially taken lest a purely secular rduc,ation
was given to those who more particularly required religious
teaching. The right bon.. member then entered into a
citation of details,., showing the inequalities of. the present
system as applied to different counties of England, declaring
the insufficiencies, the anomalies; and, in certain cases, the
unpopularity of the state provision for national educattion
under existing organisation. ,

Mr. LOWE explained the measures that had been adopted
tawards extending the benefits of the educational grant, anal
contended that no sect or denoMination were rractically
excluded from the privilege which rarliarnent had intended to
confer under the contiol of the com•tikte.,,-1 of the rrisy Council.
No limit should be allowed to restrict the way of the educa-
tional 'advantages which the legislature intended to confer,by
its liberal grants of public money.
On a cevlsion, the amendment was negatived by a majority
of 41 to 25.

The HoUse then went into.committee of supply, ahcn

Mr. Lows explained in much detail the
.various items of
expenditure to which the Council for Edttcation had appro-
priated the grant of last year, and contemplated appropriating
the grant ainunting to L 193,167, which. Parliament was asked
to vote for the current twelve months. The amount of the
grant was less by £34,753 than that voted in 1859, owing: to
some excess in the exnenditure upon buildings, and smne other
'etterptlonal • caws,. the number of schools brought ttnder
inspection during the present year being. 171, while not less
than 3,753 additional scholars were now receiving instruction
in the establishments wheie managers had placed themselveS in
connection with the Committee of Council, and participated in
the parliamentary grant.

The votes were agreed to, as were a series of subsequent
voteg, amidst a miscellaneous discussion, which occupied
nearly the remainder of the sitting.
The House adjoUrned at twenty ritlliutes past two.

ALLEGED CASE OF POISONING IN

Yesterday it was reported to Mr.,Blake, the beadle!of
the Coroner's Court, that a female named charlotte
Xernot, 40 years of age, who lived at 6, Kent-street,
had poisoned herself by taking a quantity of essential
oil of almonds. On inquiry it was ascertained that the
deceased was the wife of an export' confectioner, in an
employment in Duke-street. He had been in business'
in London, and brought. a, small hottlei of the oil with.•
him to flavour certain articles. Ha told the deceased to,
take care of it, and not to touch it. On Monday he got
a letter from London, stating that the only sister of, de-
ceased was dead, and this.seetned to. sect the deceased
'very much ; and it seemed that soon after she took the
oil and poisoned herself. An inqUest will be held on
the body today. •
