&niece to some important information which melted him
early that morning. He alluded to the subject of the per-

ever to him that the noble lord the for

The question was not on. so mach affecting our co-reli-
gionists is :VOW, but it was • matter of far greater im.
pomace. He was requested in the name of the merchants
nailing in the south of Spate, at Xeres and Port St. Mary,
to bring under the solace of the English government a cir-
cemetaace which recently occurred to them of as intolenuit

NATIONAL EDUCATION (IRELAND).
Mr. WHITESIDE moved, sod enforced is a speech of
considerable length, fortified by copious citations and de-
tails, the following resolutions :—" 1. That the advantages
afforded by parliamentary grant for the purpose of educa-
tion in Ireland ought not to be denied to soy school %woo
the ground that the Holy Scriptures we daily road therein;
2. That a discretion should be vested in those who are
intrusted with the administration of the grant
for educational purposes in Ireland to assist, with
books and other school requisites, all persona and societies
engaged in carrying on the work of roost and religious
sducatioo in school. in Ireland who may conscientiously
decline to subscribe to the rules of the National Board,
subject, so far as relates to secular education, to the inspec-
tion and control of the officers of the board ; and 3. Thet
the recent reconstruction of the National Board is not

' calculated to Mere a satisfactory administration of
the parliamentary grant for education in Ireland." He
contended that the results of the working of the nil, of
1 exclusion showed that national schools had suffered from
its application ; that the system of mixed education was
illusory that the schools conducted upon the voluntary
principle, where scriptural teaching formed part of
the instruction, stood in favourable contrast to
the other schools supported by the weight and
power of the state, awl that it was a positive wrong
to deny assistance to schools because they admitted the
Scriptures. He adduced testimony to the declining state
of the &Maud system, through the absence of local sym-
pathy, the rules having alienated religious persons and the
clergy. in discussing the last resolution, he speculated
upon the motives for the consiruction of the new hoard,
and read, with comments, the names of the commissioners,
uoe of whom be thought • most unfortunate selection.
The O'OONOR DON coincided with Mr. Whiteside in
some parte of his argument ; but, while admitting that the
present system had not been so successful u its framers
anticipated, he thought the resolutions would not improve
it, but that • radical change was necessary. He com-
plained of departures from the original scheme, and pointed
out the rules, or their interpretations, to which Roman
catholics objected. Experieuee, he said, had shown that
mixed education had not, and would ant, put down religi-
ous dissension ; but the regulations, as they appeared on
paper, would not secure to Roman catholic, the same ad.
vantages as they would give to the established church,
end their interpretation might be stil lees favourelde.
(Upon resumiug his seat the hon. gentleman was loudly
sheered, and received the congratulations of several bon.
members ; amongst whom—the Speaker having left the
chair —Mr. Disraeli crossed from the opposition side of the
hem and shook bands with the bon. member.)
At the close of the hoe. gentleman's speech • motion
eras made that the house be counted, and there not being
forty resenbus present the house adjourned at 2.5 minutes
to 9 °Week.

This ease was of a judicial nature, although not between
parties who were plaintiffs and defendants, and it was to
lie treated mil it bad occurred in the reign of Queen Elisa-
beth. The third reams of the 'appellant was •• Became in
this calm the Great Seal had. authority Scotland, the
education of the infant marquis involving pukka °amide-
rations." The holder of the Great Seal of thit United
Kingdom was the Lord Chancellor of Great Britain, and
by statute he bad important functions to exercise in Scot-
land—such as the appointment and dismissal of =leis-
trutes. and sealing write for the election of Scoteh
and of niembers of the House of Commons for
But as a jedge his
Alth jurisdictioa was clearly limited to the
realm of England. ough Cardinal Wolsey was im-
peached for having, while Lord Chancellor of England, car-'
vied the Great Seal to Calais, he conceived that the
holder of the Great Seal may now lawfully carry it into
Scotland, and them use it for sealing Scottish or imperial
documents which ought to pass under the Great Seal of
the United Kingdom. Nevertheless, as judge, he had
no jurisdiction in Scotland whatever. In this re-
spect there is satire equality and reciprocity between
the two divisions of this island, and a decree of the Court'
of Chancery was not entitled to more respect in Scotland
than an interlocutor of the Court of Session in England.
Nor, as far as jurisdiction was concerned, did it make the
slightest difference that the ward for whose custody this
dispute had arisen was a peer ; and he eared not whether
he be denominated a peer of Scotland or of Gnat Britain
or whether he be a peer or a parent. He must likewise
observe that their view of the question of jurisdiction was
not influenced by any comparison between the emits of the
law of Scotland and the law of England respecting minors.
If be deemed it inexpedient that a boy should become hie
own master at 14, with the power of uleularise his 1)70'
party, of marrying as he pleased, of making • will, and of
conducting his education according to his own fancy, or
entirely neglecting it, he formed his opinion on the interlo-
eutor of 20th July, 1880, as if this hazardous confidence
in precocious prudence were to be attributed to the law of
England, and the law of Scotland subjected orphans to the
coatrol of a guardian till they reached the mature age of
21. On a full consideration of the cause, and admitting
that the Court of Session had undoubted jurisdic-
tion in the matter, he was of opinion that the
interlocutor of 20th July, 1860, must be reversed.
If the interlocutors of the Court of Series appealed against
were resumed, the orders of the Court of Cbsuicery which
wen the subject of the third appeal, become wholly inmate-
rial, and by consent they were to be vacated. It reinsined
for the house, as the tribunal of appeal from the Court of
Chancery, to pronoun*, its judgment as to the guardian-
ship of the infant marquis, and his education and mainte-
nance. lie thought that Major-General Stuart should be
coeflrmed as his sole guardian during Lb minority, or till
further order of the Court of Chancery. This arrangement
ought to be cheerfully acquiesced in by the young
marquis, and, from the gratifying statement they
had of his good sense and right feelings, they
doubted not that such would be the result, notwithstand-
ing the assertions which Lady Elizabeth Moore had in-
structed her counsel to make to the contriiry. The scheme
proposed for the ward's education met with his entire appro-
bation ; and be did trust that this interesting youth, being
aware that what this house judicially ordained mast be
obeyed by every good subject as the law of the land, and
that their only anxiety was to direct that which they con-
ceived to be for his good, would. go on auspiciously while
in statu pepillari—would in due time take his mat in that
house an accomplishod nobleman, and add fresh splendour
to the illustrious house which he now represented.
The other noble and learned lords concurred.

but • loss on the trading of 3,4211., besides expanse
of 7831.

ment, further accounts being required. The bankrupt had

isanmetions to the amount of 6,7091. 3s. 4d., and from •

QUESTION roe CONSIGIFOIS.
A petition had been presented, and DOW came on for hear.
iag, by Mr. Robinson Kidney, tanner, of Linger:ad, Sussex,
praying theta Jam of 192/. 3s. 10d., the produce of two
males of goods, made by the bankrupts as factors for the
petitioner, might be paid out of the estate.
Mr. De Cie: {instructed by Memrs. Mormy, Bon, and
Hutchins) appeared far the assigner ; Mr. Dona (instructed
by Mr. lanaleylfor the petitioner.
It appeared, from the petition and the accompanying affi-
davits, that the bankrupts suspended payment on the 2nd
of July last, when their affairs were placed hi the heads of
/UM% Coleinanand Co., theaccountente, and it was believed
that the suspension would be merely temporary. On w
4th of July an ecconat was opened at the Beak el England
in the names of Mr. ?aroused (mmountant), Mr. Laurence,
and Mr. Mortimore, into which all monies received in the
way of business schirequent to the stoppage were paid ; and
on the part of the petitioner it was contended that those
sums newer became part of the general assets of the estate,
but were kept distinct. The bankruptcy occurred on the
21st of July. The affidavits on the part of the amigos=
went to show that all monies paid into the Bank to the new
account were paid in generally, and that no distinction was
made of monies received on account of different consignors.
Hie Honour observed that the parties did not appear to
be agreed as to this fact, which would be conclusive as to
the of the petitioners. In order that they might
exactly bow the matter stood, it would be better
to take a short adjournment.
The matter was adjourned generally.
