CONVEYANCE OF PROPERTY COMMISSION.
: .

On the motion of Lord BROUGHAM, a return was or-
dered of the evidence taken before the commissioners on the
conveyance of property, end in making the motion the noble
and learned lord stated that he was in hopes that the bin
which he had introduced three sessions back for forming a
digest of the criminal code, and which bill bad been referred
for revision to the criminal law commissionern, would be
brought forward early on the assembling of the new par-
liament.

SUPPLEMENTARY MINUTE OF THE COUNCIL
OF EDUCATION.

Lord STANLEY had a question to pat to the noble mas-
ouis the President of the Council. Within the last few days
there had been laid upon the table of the house a supplemen-
tary minute of the Committee of Privy Clued] on Education,
dated the 10th of the present month of July. This minute
referred to the resolution of the Committee of Council on Edu-
cation of the 19th August, 1839, which provideil " that the
committee will require, as an indispensable condition, that
an inspector, acting under their authority, shall be enabled
to visit every school to which any gnat shall in future be
made, though he will not he authorised to examine into the
religious instruction given in the school." It was quite clear
that the effect of this resolution was to exempt schools front
being inspected and reported upon by an inspector of a dif-
ferent religious creed from those educated in it ; but the sup-
plementary minute just issued went a great deal further. It
said, " that it appears to the committee that there are
schools to which it is desirable that grants should be made,
though the managers object on religious grounds to make a
report concerning the religious state of such schools es was
required by the minutes of August and December, ls4o ;"
and hence it had been resolved "that the principles em-
bodied in the resolution of the 19th August, 1839, be applied
to such eases, and that no certificate of the religious know-
ledge of pupils, teachers, or monitors, be requiredfnsm the ma-
nagers of such schools." Now he had believed, and he trusted
he was not deceived in the belief, that the basis en which all
grants were to be made was, that security should be taken
that religious instruction should be combined with secular
education in all these schools. Although there were, he ad-
mitted, difficulties arising from the conditions imposed before
a grant was made, still he held it to be a fundamental and
viral principle of the orstem that the government and the
country should be satisfied that the children educated in
schools receiving the aid of public money should have religious
instruction in some form or ether, and he was at a loesto knew
what the denomination of schools could be which objected to
report to the government the state of the progress in reli-
gious instruction of their pupils. He hoped, therefore, to
hear that it was not the intention of the government to do-
rm from the principle of combining religious with moral
instruction.

__ ......__.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE was understood to
say that there were a great number of schools in this
country the managers of which from conscientious scruples
were deeply impressed with the duty of avoiding the ap-
peanuthe of any support from the state, and they had in the
strongest terms expressed the apprehensions they enter-
tained that if they were subjected to the inspection of en
of appointed by the state they should be considered,
whether that officer was or was not of the same
laith as themselves, as thereby aeeepting the assistance
of the state. These were objections which he confined
he should not, if in the same position as the persons
who had raised them, entertain. He could astute the
noble lord that the committee of council on education were
prepared to adhere firmly to the principle of combining reli-
gious instruction with secular education, and they had only ,
admitted the exception in the case of schools, in which there
was no reason to surmise that the objection was made on
' other than conscientious scruples, or that it was raised in
order that no reliffion should be taught. Under these cir-
cumstances, and with a view to extend avoidance tea nume-
rous class of schools connected with the most religious com-
munities, it, had been thought expedient to grant this ex-
emption from examination.
The BISHOP of LONDON said, that viewing the minute,
which had given rise to the present conversation, as he did,
he was not in any way satisfied with the reply just
made by the noble marquis to the question put by the noble
lord opposite (Lord Stanley). The minute appeared to him
(the Bishop of London) to throw down the whole system of
inspection, which was one of the most important and wisest
of the features of the original minutes of the council on (du-
ologue. He spoke the sentiments of the church generally,
when he declared that the church would accept the minutes
SI Int poopnwisol, bat it was not prepared to acquiesce in
elbsemeimes le west the prejudices of particular classes of dis
