IRISH CHARITABLE GRANTS.
Sir If. PARNELL begged to move for certain
Recount• from Ireland, respecting the disposal of
Charitable Grants in that country. limier the
first head of grants of this kind stood that for the
use of Proiertant Charter Schools, which amounted
to 40,0001. a year. Au opinion, however, prevailed,
that if this sum were diverted to a more proper
course, a mach more extended and effective tysteu►
of education might be made available lir the
poorer classes of society in that country. Ile ',pre-
!wilder! that, ors inquiry, it would he found a nucli
larger part of such gruiits was applied to the 'my-
meit of salarie., and ►o the expense of bitildiags,
than was justifiable on charitable occasions. In some
cases thr.e sums amounted to one-third of the entire
grant. His object in moving for these returns was
to my:irate the salary arid budding part of the ex-
penses front the actual charitable part of the grants,
and then consider what steps it might be advisable
to take on the subject. lie concluded by moving
for—
" Returns from Ireland of the amount of all Grants to the
Proh•.t:ntl Clisieter-schouls, the I..andhng H oxputml, the
Stpeicty for the Education of the Poor, and MIK.
Institutions in Ireland ; togriher with the Accounts uf

last ten years."
