Secretary of State for War having decided to
alter the terms of Article 38 of the Army School Regula-
tions of July, 1857, so as to separate that part which relates
to=ious from that part which relates to the
g attendance, sod at the same time remove any doubt
which may exist as to the perfect equality and freedom of
members of all religious denominations in respect to the
former, I am directed by Major-General Peel to forward to
you the ancheed regulation, which is to be substituted for
the article in question. lam to take this opportunity of add-
ing that Major-General Peel is of opinion that it will tend to
promote the efficiency of army schools if in every regiment
and garrison where there is no local assistant-inspector it be
made the duty of some one officer, besides the orderly officer—if
possible, one who will voluntarily undertake it—to visit them
periodically during the hours of attendance, and to call the
attention of the commanding onion to all circumstances
which he may observe or which may be pointed out to him
by the schoolmaster as susceptible of improvement. If the
matter is one which cannot be remedied by the influence
and authority of the commanding officer, the monthly
school reports furnish him with the opportunity of calling
the attention of the Secretary of State to it.
" I have, &c. "B. Hewes,"
To be substituted for Article 38
" ' 1. The schoolmaster will open the school at 9 a.m.
with the Lord's Prayer, with or without the addition of one
or more collects from the Book of Comma Prayer, or with
one of the forms of prayer which may be expressly authorised
for this purpose.
" He will proceed to give a collective Bible lesion, or
to read and explain a short paesage of Holy Scripture taken
from the authorised or Dewey version.
" ' 3. The attendance of adults at this instruction will be
entirely voluntary.
4. The parents of children who are not of the seine re-
ligious persuasion as the schoolmaster will be at liberty to
mad such ohildren to school at the hour of commencing
general instruction, viz.-9.30 cm., and not at the hour for
opening school, so that there may be no impediment to the
advantage of religions instruction being extended to such
adults and children se are desirous of receiving it.
" 6. The same pied* to apply to infant schools.
" 6. On two days in each week, of which Saturday shall
not be one, there will be an hour met apart for specific re-
ligious instruction under clerical direodos, in which the
participation of the schoolmaster is to be voluntary. At
these hours the officiating chaplains to the forces, the Roman
' catholic clergy, and the ministers of any rienomineUen
belooging to plants of worship to which the troops sre
marched on Sunday, will be at liberty to attend, and to form
separate ahem of adults or children of their own respective
persuasions, on a general notice given previously to the com-
e. officer, who will direct in what plane they shell
sesemble their respective chasm
" 7. No secular instruction, whether literary or indus-
trial, is to be carried on in the same room during its employ-
ment for the purpose of religious instruction.' "

DESECRATION.—The sarcophagus containing the
honoured remains of Wellington, L announced for exhibition
on certain days,on piyment of 6d. ; the admission money
being,: as is ided, to defray the expense of lights end at-
tendants. It is hoped that such a desecration of the dead
will not be permitted, and that the authorities will at once
see the great impropriety of making a common show of the
great hero's last resting place.
