A letter from Mr. Kay Shuttleworth to the various

explains their duties, and various points relative to the ad-
atiaistgation of grants under the minutes of August and De-

examinations fur such certificates would acmes a high order

school pence would sometimes considerably exceed the rum required

will be required to secure for live years at lead the augmented avers-
mud or contribution to be made by them as a ocednion of the aug-
mentation. Their lordships will not be satisfied with the elineemes
accommodation to be by law ptovided in the teacher's house. They
will require that the house shall consist of at least four ro
each containing 140 amare feet of au ; or, when the legal
provision alone has been rode, they will accept as a
temporary arrangement. until the home can be enlarged, an
annual contribution of hi., in addition to the accommodation other-
wise required. In certain ;sable', the hereon' stipend is legally di-
vided by them entente two or more sebools, but they ar • not required
to provide more than one teachrea boor. Their lordships will accept
m a temporary arrangement, a contrioution of 10/• in every such
eau, Maud of a honor and garden, when they have not bun pro-
eided, and will also e.peet that in addition to the stipend legally
allotted to the school, the !suiton shall secure to the moire for bre
years a further salary, equal at least to twice the amount of their
be&hip's grant In augmentation. One-half of this further salary
may be derived from school fees. It has been represented to their
lordships that the parochial achoolmaittem in Footland hive very ge-
nerally the adjunct offices of aerion clerk, beritore clerk, ellectors
of parochial aseevenente, or inepretors of the poor. The ..verage
value of these offices to each tschootter throughout Scotland In sup-
posed to be not lea than 10L, hut to may of them it is much more.
for example, to the ehoolmt'trra of Ayrshire Mr. Gordonreports that
it .mounts to 20/. ; and in particular case. a much urger ugmenta-
tion of stipend is derived from then. source.. The committee of evened
have, thereture, been caked upon to determine, whether masters
receiving the augmentation offered ho their lonlehipe to that who
have obtained their certificates shoied he allowed to retain any of
these office.. This atiementation removes ell plc s for nitinhipt ouch
often on the ground of an insufficiency of Income, end incenses the
cogency of the remota for requiring that every premed. should be
adopted to secure that the schoolmaster shell devote lib whole time
and energies to his Kb.: duties, especially as those dude will now
be extended to the Nitration of pupil teachers, during one hour and a
half daily before or after the usuil school bourn. The office of salon
clerk is eannected with the keeping of the records of the session,
and It has been customary and is convenient that these &cu.
mento should be deposited in the house of the rehoolruster.
Their lordships are Informed that the duties of eusion clerk
occupy no put of the usual hours of school keeping, and that
in the great majority of parishes they require little time for
their due performance. On them grounds, my lords ere dieemed
to melee an exception in favour of the retention of the cake of amain
clerk, groarded on usage, convenience, and compatitelity with the
primary duties of she parochial schoolmaster. In ;seethes containing
Ws than 400 inhabitant. the duller of butters' clerks would &copy
little time ; and, as in small parishes the difficulty of finding a corn-
event person to diecharge this deity might be great, their lordships
will not in such cues object to the Irtding of this office by school-
mestere. But thee conseler it necusary to declare that th.•otherofflces
enumerated :above are not to be retained by any schoolmanters to
whom they may award an eugroentatton of salary, or aa annual gra-
tuity for the training of pupil teachers, and last the office of heritor's
clerk is not to ,e held by them in any Faith containing more than4o/
inhabitants.—Endowments When the funds of a school are whdly or
partially derived from endowment, and the master ha obtain,' their
Wdohipe certificate, inquiry has been made to what extent them
funds mop be taken into account in the fulfilment of the conditions of
an augmentation of salary.. Their lordekips arc of opinion that it is
not expedient to take into amount, either in England and Wales, or
fn Footlead, any local or general permanent endowment. With re-
avert to those schoole in Scotland which may derive eedowm. nt from
the Dick bequu sad from Mylne'n charity, this role has a relation
which deserves particular notice, met account of the extensive in-
fluence of thee. mortification., &hub so aided must, in order to
• fulfil the conditions of their beehive grants in augmentation of
palms., be provided with a bowie for the master of the extent before
mentioned, or an equivalent money contribution, soda further salary

taking into acconnt either the herders minimum legal stipend, or
the endowment grunted from the mortidmilon.

To-morrow the Rev. 1)r. Miley delivers a funeral
sermon, which will rival Father N'sntura's in fervour,
though not in eloquence. On Friday, the day after
the burial, the Lord Mayor convenes a public meeting
at the Royal Exchange, in compliance with the
numerous requisitions addressed to him, for the
ere ction of a public monument.
The announcement of Sir Lucius O'Brien's adhesion
to repeal was premature. In reply to the trades of
Ennis, he does not reach quite to the required mark.
After admitting the strong claims of Ireland to the
fullest measure of justice, Sir Lucius adds: " With
all this, hotever, I cannot believe but that a union
such as ought to exist would increase the power, and
strength, and greatness of the empire, and promote
the happiness and prosperity of Ireland. Besides, I
cannot be blind to the evils which must attend on a
long and arduous struggle." Notwithstanding his
anti-repeal declaration, the hon. baronet is a great
favourite with the people.
Through the exertions of Archbishop Whateley a
