The Eat of CLARENDON laid oo the tables bill pro-
viding that the goveroing bodies of public schools who
mien bere,fter be elected shoal be subject to the control
of parliament,

Earl STANHOPE did not think that any objection could
be takes to the bill which his noble friend had introdus
He thought it desirable that the discussion which tea
place on this subject a few nights ego, sod which had heat
interrupted in cousequence of the sudden indisposition of •
noble lord who wished to speak ou it, should be renewed on
the sewed reeding of tits bill. He therefore hoped his
noble friend would allow sufficient time to elapse before the
locoed reading cane on.

VAOCLNATION.

Lord LYTTELTON wished to ask the Poseidon of the
Couond it question of which he had given hiss private
notice, respectiog the intentione of the governmetit on the
mahjong of vaccinatiat. The returns of the Registrar-
Geetind showed a large amount of preventible disease, sod
of deaths from sws►l-poz the comber of .112011 which ter-
=Meted fatally being 1,698 in 1862, sad 2,281 last year.

The Earl of SHAFTESBURY said that the subject wee
Owe which required the earnest oomideration of the govern-
ment.

Berl GRANVILLE was nridentood to my that the
subject could receive the attention elate government.

NEW ZEALAND.

Lord LYTTELTON, on rising to ask what were the ia-
tatotions of her Majesty's government with respect to the lost
for which the government of New Zeeland had requested
the guarantee of this country, said ha also wished to know
what was the opisioc of the government with regard to the
advishilit y of the removal of theist of government (tom the
Northern extremity of the eountry to a more amoral locality.
He thought that the coostructios of military roads across
the debateable territory would be a very important stop.
Toe :ke of Wellington had rexcnomeled this plan at the
Cape. and en attempt to introduce it had already bees
began in New Loaned itself. He believed that if that
ware fully carried out, if the war were put an end to,
sad if some masers of justice to the natives were pa-
dually ad mte,i, en improved suite of things might la fugue
be looked for. He did not absolutely condemn what had
bees done by the government, but he thought that the
exposes of these ears should be throws upon the
simian themselves ; and in the mess time he begged to
ask what course had bees adopted by her Majesty's govern-
ment with regard to the Suppression of Rebellion Bill?
Earl GRA N VILLE (who was Dearly inaudible in the gal-
lery) said the noble lord had put to him a very large and
comprehensive, but a vary difficult question. 'There was no
colony where our mistime with the natives had from the
first been so unsatisfactory ; but there could be DO doubt
that this war had been practically begun by a very violent
outrage on Cook part. He thought that great gratitude
wee due to Sir George Grey for his conduct under very
arduous and tryiog circumstances ; and the house would
agree with her Majesty's government that nothing
could have been more brilliant, decisive, or humane
than the conduct of tba whole war, by being
kit to the military and save! authorities. Personally, he
entirely agreed with the noble lord's observations respecting
the unfairsass of allowing the colonists to make war at the
expense of the mother country. He was quite aura that
they ought to be called spoil to boar the chugs of every
war iu which they engaged for any purpose that was not
imperial. Toe great diffisalty of the case arose from the claim
• t the natives to carry on a est of gwernmeot, such as
was, by means of their own tribes, and apart
from the authority of the Queen. That matter would
hereafter require the most serious consideration. The
suggestion of the noble lord as to military roads was • most
excellent one ; but it was quite clear that the greet thing to
be done at the present moment was to j.ut au end to the
war, and to smart the authority of the crows over the
Natives. With regard to the Suppression of Rebellion Act,
he had to state that when it came over it was referred to
the law advisers, to state whether it was or was not ultra
wires ; sad those learned gentlemen had givsa it as their
opinion that it was sot There were many question' that
it would be oweseary to laws to the local govern-
ment; and the feeling of her Majesty's government sou
that they should not do anything to weaken its authority.
(Hear, hear.)
Lord LY V EDEc thought that the state of New Zealand
at this monist was very formidable, and that very decisive
measures were necessary. He hoped that some deter-
mined policy would be adopted by the Colonial-office,
and, above all, that her Majesty's goverment would not
guarantee the loan now asked for. The guarantee would
only make a difference of see per cent, to the colonists,
and it it was given them they would believe that the
mother-country was disposed to support them in the course
they had pursued towards the natives, and there would be
so sod to this wars. (Hear, bear.)
The Earl of CLANCARTY objected to the set of the
New Zealand 'sedative for the suppression of the rebel-
lion.

Earl GREY was of opinion that all our difficulties in
New Zeeland were to be traced to the evils of self-govern•
meat. The war, however, was now practically at an cod,
and it behoved the government to consider whet policy
they would hereafter pursue. Re regretted that they had
not diaallowed the Coetscation Act, and contended that
they ought to have brought the whole question under the
notice of the house.
The subject then dropped.
