never' be exhausted of its interest, especially as we
have been recently told, by eminent Statesmen, that

it forms part of the basis, upon which the prosperity
and happiness, of this community stands. We shall
watch, therefore, the Committee which has been

appointed to enquire into this most important in-
terest, of which all parties rejoice, that His Grace the
DUKE of NEWCASTLE, is the Chairman. In returning

again, at some future time, to the consideration of

this question, we shall offer no apology, feeling
assured, that it is a question, which gains by being
ventilated, in a friendly, dispassionate, and Christian

NOTES OF THE DAY.

Lord Lyndhurst has condes

Perhaps when Mr. Bright can be similarly accused he will
have become a wiser and a better politician than he now is.
Another accusation, however, which was made against Lord
Lyndhurst—namely, that the doctrines he had laid down
were not suitable to the present enlightened state of society,
but applied to a period sixty years back—he forcibly showed

young and flippant assailant ; and one would hope that
it will.be a useful lesson to the honourable member for Bir-

Lord Brougham's zeal for education seems to outrun

his discretion,—of course we mean secular education; as it
is that which the noble and learned Lord considers "the be

all and end all" of the national efforts in that direction

.ainuer, ne Baia, than our • children s
educated at all, I would prefer to hand them over for
education to the Pope of Rome." Now, we cannot think
that such a sentiment as this Will find any echo in the
public mind of the protestant peoPle of England. By all
means, let us have, if possible, all our children, even those

them educated as Romanists : unless, indeed, Romanism is
the religion of their parents, and it is -their wish that they
should be brought up under the same system.' Secular
education may be better than no education at all, if only for
this reason, that the ministers of religion will have' all the
better chance of producing an effect on the-minds of the
masses. But to prefer- to "hand the children over for
education 'it'd' the POpe of Rome," rather thin that they
should not be- educ-ated at- all, would, we humbly, think, be
something very like getting out of the Irvin
