The CHANCELLOR of tbe EXCHEQUER believed
aot.

Mr. DISRAELI thought that most of the °gratin' to
which tie en. ',Audios a the British Museum was epee
were traceable to its orgies' eonstitution. The Museum

With resent to 'iterate's, the hos. gentleman the member
for Bath had indel:ed in some glowing panegyrics en the

the truth was, oar library was not even • fleetest' out.
They might go into sewed-rate Orman capitals and Sod
Pubdo Wearies sot only scree valuable than that et the

whether the peewee building would be larger than would be
scenery fir a library such as we had • right to sign to.
(Hear, bear) He would, therefore, retain only the library
ano rhe eollregos of medals, for be thought tbsy ought to

had now • piece of land suitable for the MOIIOII of a
temp's for their ci Nations of art, such as might not be un-
worthy of this great city. They had now, therefore, a greet
*dentist. They had pace, and without space there mold
nei her be order nor method. (Hear, bear) He rejoiced
to hear of the appointment of Professor Owen; and he
te ought that science might. ow vindicate to itself a right to
• separate abode. With regard to the snub of the hoe.
gentleman the member the Pontefrect, he could not
see that say reboot bad bees alleged naiad the
thereat appointment of librarian, except that M.
Panisai was a foreigner. Tee honourable gentlemen
admitted that foreigners might be appointed is situations
under the crows, but then, ha said, be would not have
them promoted to the highest reek. In the present cue he
would tun had an Enelishreen 01 literary eminence. Now
the office of keeper of printed b. oks was undoubtedly one
that r.qn red great literary attaismen's ; hut the offiee of
brarian did not. It was a purely •Iministrative office,
and the Starts of the candidate could only be ascertained
by obaervation and exocrine*. Mr. Famines first appoint

Mr. J BELL bored that the trustees would contrive to

Mr. A. PELLATT wished to see the Museum opened es

Lord J. RUSSELL said that he eosethered the suggestion

did not know what objectless there were to adopting this
plan ; bat it s• roes him as very desirable if it could be
canard out. (Hear, hear.) He quite agreed that there
were many persons, especially of tne working Cass, who
were able to devote some time in the seeming, but not in the
day, to deriving improvement from • great institution like
this. (Hear, ho ar ) With regard to the government of
the institution, the mamba for Aylesbury bad correctly
der ribed what meted previous to the changes ptorosed by
Sir Robert Inglis. Various changes were row surree.ted,
bet with the aseistance of a man like Mr. Perini,
he did act believe that they could well have a
holy better constitated for the government of the
museum. Then it was said that there might be
as edentate in separating the collections I. art sad 'tithes
from the library of the Museum. But the literature of the
Museum was a part of the science; It wee connected with
the collections el natural philosophy and neutral history,
the latter collo etioa having been declared by Profer or
