ANY government system of public instruction has
two classes of opponents—those who believe that
the superintendence should be given to the eccle-
siastical authorities, more or less directly, in order
that provision should be made for the inculcation of
religious truth and the prevention of religious error;
and those advocates of the voluntary principle, who
fear that the interference of government with
secular education might become a precedent and
sanction for further interference in religious teaching;
there remains a third class of opponents, which has
found an organ in the Times, and which protests
that it cannot discover the value of education, inas-
much as it is more important that the poor should
be fed than that they should be taught. In stating
this proposition, however, the writers always evade
the fact that the great object of a good education is
to point out the means by which food must be pm-
cured, and that therefore the teaching, instead of
set in opposition to the feeding, is as closely
connected with it as a means can be with an end.
Now, it is only justice to assert that reli-
gion, the voluntary principle, and the exercise
of benevolence, are just as valuable to the friends of
national education as they possibly can be to their
opponents. But when religious instruction is
tacitly represented to be the inculcation of peculiar
ii cornea i when, by the voluntary principle is meant
the autocracy of a self-appoinieu and self-constituted
committee ; and when Christian benevolence is iden-
tified with indiscriminate relief, one has a right to
complain that there are controversialists who say one
thing when they mean another; and who pervert
words in order to produce a popular misapprehension
of things.
Nakedly stated, no one will support the proposition
that knowledge is inconsistent with religion. The
apostles were taken from the lower classes of society,
but with them divine inspiration became knowledge,
and after their age Christianity made progress chiefly
among the higher and educated classes. In Taylor's
" Revolutions, &c., of Europe" will be found some
curious proofs of Paganism having lingered among
the uninstructed populations of the continent to so
late a period as ha
the fifteenth century. Indeed
the very name " Paganism," tt is, " the creed of
rural districts," shows that Christianity first became
this relighm of the better instructed communities of
cities and towns. This should be sufficient to satisfy
us that the diffusion of secular information
is not in any way adverse to the cause of nee
religion. When advocating the Irish colleges, Sir
ROBERT PEEL observed, " How these institutions
can interfere with, or oppose religion, by promoting
science and the arts; by making men good mathema-
ticians and good chymista (the advocates of national
education may add, by making them good farm-
labourers, operatives, and artificers) ; by making
them know the power and beneficence of theft
CREATOR ; by expanding their minds, and
raipag
their admiration of his wonderful weeks, I.aalot
telL" Until some one is found to tell us, we wet
believe the records of history, the results of expe-
rience, and the obvious dictates of common
sense, that a cultivated mind is better pe►
pared for the reception of the truths of religion
than a mind that is ignorant and uninstructed.
Those who include doctrinal instruction in religious
education are bound to say so broadly and distinetly.
=lust not shelter themselves under a geese pep
of the aphorism, " The suppression of Ira* le
the suggestion of falsehood." This aphorism
only to s truth partially told, but has no re
to what is wholly withheld. The doctrines of the
Church are neither strengthened nor weakened when I
nothing is said about them in schools; but we fear
that they are not unlikely to be perverted when
taught as imperfectly as they mast be by a parish
schoolmaster.
To the voluntary principle, as advocated by Mr.
BAINES, there is this obvious objection, that there is
nothing voluntary about it. A system is not volun-
tary because it is worked or supported by a com-
mittee of volunteers instead of a committee of
the Privy Council. There is just as much of in-
terference with liberty of instruction by the
board of which Mr. Bstras is a member as there
could possibly be by any board of royal com-
mimioners. We doubt not that the children and the
Parents of the children taught in the schools have no
.se son to complain of the system of management
adopted by the BainEs committee, but we have yet to
ism that they are allowed a voice in the matter. If
dietetical of every kind be objectionable, we submit
that the dictation of volunteer rulers and managers
most be at least as bad as the dictation of constituted
and responsible authorities. Members of boards love
the power and pstroyage attached to their office, and
.eseretanes of boards love their salaries; but how
either can reconcile the government of irresclbet
boards with the ultra-voluntaryism and ultra-
kr which they contend, passes comprehension. We
thought that jurists had long ago proved that " irre-

IT was not so easy to discuss Lord GEORGE BEN-
TINCK's Irish Railway Bill without reference to party
relations, as Lord GEORGE and his friends would per-
mule us. The bringing in of that bill was undeniably
a party move. Ministers had undertaken to intro-
duce a series of measures—part of which bad in view
the relief of immediate distress in Ireland, part the
inving introduction
01 healthy social condi-
tion into that country. As a matter of course, the
temporary measures were pressed on before the
others. While yet engaged upon these—before they
had time fully to develop their more comprehensive
and permanent plans— Lord ~GEORGE called upon
ministers to incorporate a scheme of his into
their ulterior arrangements. His measure is calcu-
Ic
lated less (if at all) for the relief than
for Li rermanent improvement of Ireland. Ministers
at
y demurred to engrafts° large andexpensive an
alien scheme upon their own ; and the parties joined
issue in the House of Commons. If Lord GEORGE
and his party had succeeded in compelling ministers
to adopt their bill in whole or in part, the whole
credit would have been theirs. Baffled in the attempt,
they may yet claim credit with the Irish members
for their good wishes, and look forward, in the event
of the ministerial plans miscarrying, to have people
say —"Ah ! if Lord GEORGE'S bill had passed,
we should have been better off." Beating, or
beaten, they are sure, as a party, to gain by
this move. The boasts made by Mr. DISRAELI,
and other speakers, of what their " party" has already
done for Ireland show that this entered into their
calculations : the speeches of the Irish members show
their success. This is perfectly legitimate party war-
fare ; bat it is party warfare : and to ask their oppo-
nents to allow so marked an attempt to supersede
and undermine them to pass current for an amicable
neutral discussion was drawing rather too largely on
their simplicity. Ministers very properly stood upon
their riguallito develop their whole plan of action
before were called upon to incorptrate any
foreign, it might prove incompatible, ingredient
into it.
"'Apart, however, from this consideration Lord
Molten& bill has now been winnowed and sifted by
a three nights discussion in the Howse of Commons.
Its supporters have had every opportunity given them
of unfolding their own views, and explaining away
the objections of others. Their scheme has been
tiled in all its bearings—in its relation to public
credit, as a means of developing the resources at
Ireland, as a plan of relief for Irish distress. A
debate involving so many topics was necessarily dis-
cursive, and no attempt was made to limit the digrm-
sions of honourable members. A deliberate awl
dispassionate review of this unshackled discoed*
fully justifies the verdict of the Commons, that Laid
GEORGE'S measure was inexpedient and impracticable.

close quarters. An attempt to mystify pervaded ell
their speeches. They undertook to peeve
that the
Irish railways, in aid of which they asked for a loan
of sixteen millions, would give present employment to
the destitute poor, and also that these railways were so
certain to prove remunerative as to ensure repayment
of the advance. To give the required employ.ment,
the lines must be carried into the poorer dii—es of
the west ; to ensure their being. remunerative they
must be confined to the comparatively wealthy eastern
counties. What addressing themselves to establish
afirst position the supporters of the ball tacitly
ssumed that the ;Always would be extended into the
western districts ; when labouring to prove that they
would be remunerative, reference was made to the
Dahlia and Kingstown Realm:into& assistance was to
be given to such certain and alooe. Only as
rasa of the facts of the ease werebrought into view
at a time as lent a colour to the point then
sought to
be established. The argnmett was tainted from first
to lad with a wilful stappreaso yeti.
Mt. Dilasati was guilty of a still more palpable
shale. To the objection that if the Irish railways
were as certain to prove remunerative as was alleged,
private enterprise would supply the necessary capital,
he attempted to reply by asserting that English
capitalists were deterred from investing in Irish
naways not by fear of loss in a commercial point of
view, but solely by political circumstances. "If a
men worked a railroad in Ireland he had not only to
calculate the cost of land, but to buy that which
was often a complicated tenure, and which often pro-
duced public rancour, hatred, and enmity. lie was
to engage labourers who lived casually, and he knew
that ff by say unfortunate circumstance that casual
'apply were lost, the labourers of the country would
be • tnrhulant population. He knew that, when he
commenced, threatening notices would be served on
his steward, and that he would-run-the risk of being
shot from behind a hedge." Argot, said Mr. DIOR Ir.t,T,
private individuals will not make the attempt, and
the Chancellor of the Excise:pier must. Having
settled this point, Mr.Disew.i, with sing.ular incon-
sequeace, went on to argue that the opening
.of rail-
ways would lead to the introduction of mining and
other industry. "It was clear that in Ireland there were

The Heraldo of the 9th gives the following version
of the banishment of Don Enrique from Madrid :
It teems certain that eight days since Don Francisco (father
of the king and of Don Enrique) sent for Count de Castello,
who is descended from a rich and noble family of Valen-
cia, and expressed to him that Don Enrique was de-
sirous of marrying his sister, who is a eamerista
of the Infantas Dona Josef& and Luisa. Count Csatella,
before accepting the high honour offered, thought it his
duty to submit various considerations to some august per-
souses, who however opposed no obstacles to the marriage ;
but en the contrary supported the wishes of Don Enrique.
The ministry, informed of what was going on, thought it
its duty to maned her Majesty to refuse the requisite per-
Miallial ke a marriage to be conduded with a lady not of
mpg Weal with a prince who might one day be called to
die theme of Spain. This step seems, however, to have been
taken too late, as it did not prevent the drawing up of
the civil contract of the marriage which took jelag
in the presence of the Royal family and some high
and grandees of Spain. It was then that the goverumeot
thought it necessary to send away the Prince from Madrid;
and on the Saturday evening orders to that effect were tent
toCieneral Perini'. It was on the following morning, Sunday,
at 9 a. m., that he proceeded in person to the Prince's apart-
ments, and intimated to him the orders of her Majesty. The
Prince demanded a delay to make preparations for his
Journey, which the General respectfully thought fit to
accord him, and it was at the hour of noon precisely that he
entered the carriage in waiting for him. The Prince was ac-
companied by the Brigadier klensalde and by a Captain who
was ordered to pay all expenses, and to tike the necessary hours
of repose by day or night, accordingly as the Infant might
desire it, with the exception of at Saragossa, where they were
only to remain time enough for changing horses. At
lama the the prince was to remain a few days, and then embark
for foreign part* to complete, as it is said, education.
This event, adds the Heralds, is in no wise connected with
