DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION.
Sir J. PAR INGTON asked whether it was the foliation
of her Mejesty's g meat to nitrides' any riaassare
dories the present session for altering the easidlidiere of
the Comeittor of Coastal for Educatioa, se se teremeare a
dine' representation of that department in the Meese of
Commons ?
Sir G. GREY said the gaieties of the neat hes. footle-
men referred to a subject which was undoubtedly one of
vary great importance. The right bon. gentleman, in his
7= tlie other night, bail expressed an opinion that the
sow performed by a committee composed of members
of the adarnistration, should be transferred to one reopen-
albie mini-ter, who should be charged with all finnan re-
lating to public instruction; and that the deputment should
be represented in the House of Costumes either by the chief
or, if he wan a member of the other house, bye subordinate
member of the department, as was the ease with the other
thief cam of ante. (Hear, hear.) If that plan were
adopted, the datin of the new department would so doubt
be most important and 'slender.; for In addition to those
sow performed by the Committee of the Privy Conseil,
there were other smatters, loch, for instance. as the Depart-
meat of Art, now in the hands of the Board of Trade,
which might be advantageously confided to it. He (Sir G.
Grey) was of opinion that when the department of the
Privy Commit was first established, It was the best arrange-
ment that could be made for the administratioa of the eds.
stational votes; bet he was sot prepared to say that the
dare had not arrived when a better arrangement, and one
that would prove more ems eat, scald not be devised. (Hear,
beer) He would only say that the subject was one that
would engage the careful attention of the government ;
bet he was not prepered to state whether a measure would
be proposed this session to carry the prop real of the right
boo, baronet into effect.
THE ABSENT COLONIAL SECRETARY.
Sir J. PAKINGTON begged to ask the right hon.
barrow if he could sow inform the house when the Secre-
tary of State for the Colonial Department would return to
this country ? (Laughter )
Sir 0 ORGY—I believe the noble lord will leave
Vienna during the present week. I have every rums to
expect thst he will be in England before the end of neat
week—by the 27th or 28th lest. at the latest.

had been considered by the house.
