i.PILLATT mmulaketi of the manner in which that
inatitattlen was mealged. Re hoped that next year two
days more per week would be added to the days on which
the Messes was open.
Mr. WILSON said there was every wiah on the part of
the trustees to afford the pablie every possible facility for
visiting the Museum.
Mr. }LINDLEY asked I. what state the eatalogxe of the
library stood ?
Mr. WILSON said that evilly possible moans was being
taken to posh forward its iximpletica.
The vote wasithen agreed to.
Oa the vote of 4,0001. for the purslane of objects of art
from the Bernal collection,
Kr. MACARTNEY stated that he bad heard that at
many sales of public collections, agent. of different public
museums attended who bid against each other.
Mr. WILSON denied *maws was any truth in the
ramose that different department@ bid against seek other.
Iniest the Troseuey, before it eaaatiseed any purchase,
squired all the departments wishing to bid to mark upon a
catalogue the attic} a which they intended to buy, and where
say article was marked by two departments, one had to
withdraw before the purchase was sanctioned.
Lord W. GRAHAM understood that there was a com-
mission paid to the persons employed to buy, which of
course gave them an interest In raising the price.
Mr. WILSON said that of COWS' a commission was given
to those employed to bed, as they could not expect to get
the labour of persons without paying for it; bet, se they
were limited to pries, the government could not suffer any
more then private individuals in a similar position.
The vote was then agreed to, as were the following:
27.6201. for the expiates of the new buildings connected
with the BritiehMussum. _ _

6001. for the Royal (hographseal Society.
6,4091. sairaetio observations abroad, and the super-
intendeat'a establishment at home.

2,9851. for public infirmaries in Ireland.
1,2861. for the Fooodliag Hospital, Dublin.
On the vote of 11,7901. for the House of Industry and
hoitale,_ Dublin,
Kr. GROGAN complained that the government had
taken upon themselves to revise the deliberate rscommen-
datioos of a committee of that hones, which recommended
this vote to be raised to the former sum of 16,0001.
Mr. WILLIAMS thought that the hon. gentleman ought
to allow this vote to pies in silence, see that there were
no similar establishments in Raghind or d supported
by the public money.
Mr. VANCE said that these votes were a part of the eon.
tract made at the time of the anion, and it would be a rob.
buy to deprive the people of Dublin of the benefit of them
now. He supported the recommendation of the committee.
These medical hospitals were for the benefit of all Ireland,
because they served as medical schools.
Col. DUNNE said that Ireland claimed this vote as her
due. He maintaised that Ireland wee taxed more than any
part of the United Kingdom. (' • Heat, hew," end 'laugh.)
He was ready to prove that at any time.
Lord NAAS norms d himself astonished at the sours*
the government had taken with respect to the Dahlia
Medical School*. Note ithstanding the report of a select
committee lut year, they now thought fit to reopen the
question. and refer all again to an irresponsible special com-
mission.
Mr. BRADY strongly advocated the Dublin Medical
Schools, and quoted Mr. South In favour if their eilleieney.
Mr. J. WILSON defended the course the government
bed taken in appointing a oommiseicia, which would have
nothing whatever to do with the amount of the grant. It
we. thought that by consolidation the Dublin Medical
Schools might be rendered more *Seethe, and it was with a
view of making inquiries is that direction that the com-
mission had been appointed. All tine reductions intended to
be carried out this year had been arrested pending the
report.
Dr. MICHELL bore personal Willem to the value of
the Dublin hospitals, which, he contended, were superior
to the English schools.
After a few word. from Mr. Onoethir, the vote was
agreed to.
1.7231. for the Dublin Lock Hospital.
This vote was, after a few observations from Mr. WIL-
Lutes, agreed to.
THE REGIUM DONUM.

SAM for noiico;foinTutg a ergs.
Mr. W. WILLIAMS objected to this vote. He was in-
formed that the ministers of the Free Church of Scotland
were a great deal better paid than those ministers in Ireland
for whom this vote was given ; end' he had no doubt it the
vote were withdrawn, judging from the ability of the con-
gregations, that these ministers would be better paid. He
moved that the vote of 38,9531. for nonconforming clergy
should he reduced to 3661. _ _ .

Mr. HADFIELD supported the amendment. While tie
aonoonforraists of Ireland had raised. in 60 years, by volun-
tary contributions, three sad a half millions of money for
charitable purposes, they bad been readying from the public
tases between 400,0001. and 600,0001. Maay of the ceagrs-
Rations in Ireland paid their ministers leas than 301. or even
201. a year. It was impossible to loos upon these ministers
without feelings of the greatest sympathy, while the scorn
of the country would rest upon the congregations. (Cries
of "
Mr. as the only Irish presbyterisa la the house,
mast protest igainst these pose imputation. He denied
that the deadeet of the Irish noudonfeembits was beggarly.
Their claim to this vote rested on • positive entrain with
the crown in 1673; and the present vote was ectually less
in amount than the value of the glebe lands which were then
given up. The fast was the opposition to this great was
brought forward by a society In London for the liberation
of the church from state control. He denied that there was
I as, thimg like state patronage or control involved is this
grant. He found, from the Congregational Yearbook of
1865, that out of 2,760 chapels belonging to that body,
1,400 of them were without ministers; while in Wales,
out of 484 chapels, 160 were in a similar situation.
Mr. PELLAT f rose amidst loud cries of " Oh, eh " and
" Divide." He denied 'het new congregations were enti-
tled to share in the grant, salmis it were shown that old
ones had fallen off.
The ct veleitts• then divided:

Mr. CBE STRAM teen moved to reduce the great by
the sass of 4161.8 x., the &moose by which the vote hid been
lammed sine' last year.
Lord NAAS contended that if there wee a ease for the
old aeogregatioas, there was an equal ease for the new ones.
After some coaverestios the committee divided:

The vote was then agreed to.
Mr. W. WILLIAMS hers moved (at balf.part 12) that

The motion was agreed to without a division, sad the
holm resumed.

HOESFALL said he was aware that the hill wee
brought in ea the recommeadation of the committee, and
he only rem to express his regret that the erommittee should
have some to the decision which they had on each es parrs
seldom*. The whole ease had been heard ea the part of

Mr. BEADY rejoined at this hill Wag introdneed,
