Mr. Om soomded the smeadmesL
Mr. Aid roan Suisse cordially aessarred in the opinion
of the mover of the original media that the time had
arrived when a reform of the present constitution of the
etatheittes of simmers was ab.danly required. Tha effectl
of the pretest spites was to octane the usefularms of the
institution almost within a nutshell. Tbe °plaice of the
universal public oat of doors was, he believed, that while
the estates of tie institution heel greatly increased in value
its educational chancier fell lamentably short of the re-
quirements of the present day. (" No, no," and cheers.)
Mr. Corrox said, as ea old governor, he felt deep interest
in the will.re of that establishment; but he could see no
advantage in discussing all the questions which had been
referred to by the worthy alderman. (Hear, hear.) He was
as oesirous as any one of promoting the improvement
of the education and comfort of the establishment; but he
wee appreh..neive lest in aiming at improvement, they
should toilet injury.
Mr. T. klAtiltaY said he felt bound to support the motion
of Mr Gurney. (Cheers.)
Mr. W P thought the business of the institution
"Alla be carried ow much better by one committee roan by
two.
Mr. Deputy Lotr supported the smindusent.
114 Royal Highness the Duke of CAMOS11)011 said he
believed it had been usual on those occasions for the prod.
dent to address the court Ina the chair, and, such being
the thane, he trusted he should not be considered intruding
it ke made a few observations. (Hear.) It wee a very
important trait which was confided to tn:m; they bed se
less than 1,400 children ander their care, and in benefiting
them they were benefiting their immediate friends and rev
latices, as well as society at large. The question before the
court ought not to be treated rashly or hastily. A general
impression had gone abroad that everything that was does
in that inatitutios was dose badly. Now, he expressed the
conviction of his heart when be said that whatever short-
comings there might be ow the part of the almoners—and se
daub; there had been shoncominp—they were not to be at-
tribund to any want of attention or of anion their part, bat
to the tact that the required change* bad not been brought
as forcibly ender their notice heretofore as they wire non.
(Hear, hear) The very circumstance of the proposal of the
amendment on their behalf, by Mr. Garrard, showed that
they were mains to meet the wishes of the general court
by every moms in their power. He bad been astonished be
hear it stated by a governor that the committee of almoners
were aot elected by the court. Certainly they were not
sleeted by the court to the extent that that governor
wished, nor, indeed, to the eatent which he himself wished
—throw, holey—but thee was owing in a great degree to the
efirmonstanoe, that for a keg period no objection was made
.to the proposals of the mearittee, and ant, ha was sure, to
soy intention on their pert to pack the managing body. It
was sot the fault of the Ceslatittee that the governors had
net habitually attended is such nnissbera as they did that
day, and, for his part, he should always be glad to see that
room aa hall as it was Butte revert to the
ambient under discussion. The gasetroa. mu not whether
there .should be a reform in the mode of eloction or not,
but hew the thing was to be dem—wheel er ia the manner
'impend by his friend Mr. Gamey, or is the manner pro-
posed by We friend Mr. Garrard. Now ,110 Me Duke of
