ths House that did not soar 'above

:ing any thing iojariens so parries, as it was
.opessihle to calculate the amount or degree
of blame that aas inyutable to any one, till such
.time as the paper. and necessary documents were
laid upon the rattle. It would be part of his sib-
i,a va ascertain whether he could alit obtain some
' )

alteration of that dreadful system, which bad not
only been destrudive to the interests of the India
Company, but to this nation itself. Every one
knew an I deplored the dreadful calamity that had
lately happered in India, and the miserable situa-
te'll of the Company's affairs fur some time, in
consequence the massacre at Vellore ; and thefe-
fore he should take an early rpportnnity in the next
Session of Parliament, to Ming forward the question
of the Carnatic. As to the Oude C barge, he trusted
that would be brought forward by a Noble Lord,
whom he then saw in his place. It was his iutent•ou,
he could assure the House, to take the earliest op-
portuniry of bringing fnrvard for discussion the
subjed of the Poi ygar war The Hon. Baronet, after
a tew turtoet o 'sere:scions, concluded with Moving
tot the produdi 'n of copies of instrodlons given in
1799. to Majcr John Bannerman, and to the Govtr-
tors of Fort-\t;iil; on and Fort St. George, relative
to the Southern Polygars, together with copies of
several letters from the said persens, and procla-
mations and other documents relative to this sub-
jea.
Mr. K. DUNDAS said, that the sub's& upon
which this m aion was made. was one of considera-
ble importance. and as far as regarded the papers,
he should only observe. that they were numerous and
voluminous ; and besides which, their produaion
would create a necessity of prtn!ucing aft other do-
cuments that could tend to throw a lieu upon. Y►e
Hon. Baronet had alluded •te thir
treaty of 1792. concluded by Marquis Comwailis
now, in acceding to this motion. he (Mr. D.)
sv;,hed it to be understood, that no blame could
►e Prue led either to tier C •cite of Ditedors or to the
Gnvernors aisr,!iii, for any diredions theyhad given
twos" the subje9 of the Polygars. That was a point
which he should. be ready to discuss with the Hon.
Bait. .1t a future period. Another matter to which
the Hon. Bert. had entitled was, the nand►hips or
cruelties which had taken place in India ; he should
upon o,i, too 11, prepared to contend, that the to.-
tiers issued from this country were pettedly proper,
in order is disarm those countries, and to reduc, them
to a state compati'ule with civil society and subnro-
nation. As to the late proceedings at Vellore, as
well as the question of the Polygars, he belie, J
the Hon. Bart. would find himself comideo ly
mistaken. With these reset rations. he would net
minx ale motion now made for the produelion of
the documents.

Mr. H ADDINGTON s4id, that understand-
! !gm ois was not oppo,sd by the Right
Hnuoutable Gentleman (Mr. Doodas), he should
not take the sense of the House ; but he could no..
but tvien to Paters being gra-ted, with a view to

criminality attachable to any individual. He sin-
eerily regretted the praFtice, and he thought it

Atter several observations from Mr. Grant, Mr

PAROCHIAL sr tiOOLS RILL.

Oa no motion of N,:r. WHITBREAD. the
Hous• 'oat into a Committee upon the ab ere Bill.
...r. sruaGLs BOURN t rose, nd ohjetied
to the claose re wive to compulsion. as being Bahl,
to various irceviveniances in eadinr uoon parishes to
incur an ex. cox irs concern. It of an imaginary
or octant advantage. Th. same 1o:it and csmpls-
c del macho:cry was api.' ed tr: every parish in the
kingdom, however differesuly they m gin be tie
cunioanced. in may cases, it would ire absolutely
impratliea.sle. Another less important ohjedlion
we.. :hat the perwns to whons this was ranted,
w old look to this as a right, instead of being a fit
your. ['his was the •iew ne ro-k of the suhj-El.
But besides he was not anxious that any Bill of this
nature should be carried through the House
during this session. He then concluded with
moving. as as ainendm nt, that instead of she
comoultory clause of w leo he complained,
words to the f ang purport should be in-
serted, " that it 55.411 be lawful for the Church-
war-tens an,l overseers "f 'saris •-s, or townships,
won consent of toe paoshsoners. alter one month's
n nice, io ass mbk, to est bliah cc siol or schools for
the lost:us:boa of the poor. and to purchase ground,
and erea schools, and to cleft any person they may
mink proper, to insteud the poor."
Mr. W. SMITH said, he was not at all sure
that the House csoild pass this measure in the form
of a law this Session, but it might perhaps be ex-
pedient at least to make it take the shape and form
of a law, as they were all agreed as to the necessity
of initiating the One. It was giving 'insect to the
Churchwardens to do, under the tendons of Puha-
useut,whet they already were in the habit of doing ;
acid as be approved so much of the principle of the
Bin. be should support it in its present irate.
Me. HAWKINS BROWNE thought it was
certainly the duty of Parliament to provide regula-
tions to iestrun the poor ; but to get them to receive
it. was a very different thing. In many parishes,
the office of School-master would become a perfett
sinecure. It would be extremely difficult to find
any number of parishes to which the same law
would properly apply. Some contained 100,000
inhabitants, while others contained only 30. Same
were flourishing in their ma nulaitures and trade,
and others decaying. Some were supported by
Agriculture alone. Some had no endowments, while
others hid charitable institutions and free-schools.
While he disapproved of the measure, he at the
same time gave the Honourable Gentleman who had
loon:lilt it forward. great credit for his patriotism
and zeal for the public good, but he really thought
Parliament had not come to a sudisi..it investigation
of the sub.)" to enable them to come to a law,
even although this had been an earlier period of the
Session.

Mr. WILSERFORCE considered it more im•
portant to the cotustry, on a measure of this sort. to
decide Well, than soon. It was better not, even in
appearance, us, truce a measure upon du in. at least
till it was br .ught to as great maturity u possible.
He touted, therefore, that the Hon. G. istionan
would not posist m premiss forward this measure

at present. The Magistrates in general wee?. I
not well affilted towards it. particularly to (oat
part which went to legalize part of the poor's rates
to this °Neil; and should the measure be left discre-
tionary to the maj .city in parishes, and after all not
be adopted, an trgument from this iettaivity woo'd
be made use of against taking up the measure at a
future period. At the same tone, he declared helm'
the highest opinion at the effeas of education
and giving instrulion to the poor. He had
been struck with observing the superiority in
po:nt of information, which the lower orders in
the Ntothe:n parts of England possessed over those
in the South and West, which could only be at-
tributtsel to this cause. Upon giving iostrueion to
the poor in Ireland, the existence of this country
depended. He hoped it would also be found e•rac-
ticable to impart general instruatan to the peetti:e
of this country; but he thought it was not adv .-
abte to pies. forward the adoption of this measure
; o the present Session, for it had not as yet been
sufficiently inquired into what were the present means
of education in general in parishes. He thought
some method should be adopted of combining all
the existing institutions, so as that this meast.re
mita be only established in parishes where it was
found necessary. In order that the Hon. Gentle-
inan's plan might be made as perfeft as p ‘s•ible, lie
was desirous it might be submitted to the consider-
ation ot the country Gentlernt n ; and that, as the
result of the whole, Parliament might be prepared
to establish some useful and nee. scary system in the
eourse4if the ensuing Session.
Mr WHITBREAD ciasfested he did not expea
to hear frem one so distinguished for his seal to the
cause of humanity, morals, and religion, as the
Honourable Gentleman was, who had just spoken,
any hesitation as to the adption of a measure which
he acknowledged to be salutary. Did he a upon
this principle in his repeated efforts lot the eh- li-
lion if the Slave Trade ? With all the zeal which
the Honourable Gentleman had displayed for the
diffusion of religious knowledge in Africa, he would
ask now he could expea to diffuse the truths
of the Gospel to the poor of this mainly, with-
out putting into thcir hands the keys of know.
ledge ? or, at least, giving them a legal right
r.. claim these keys to be put into their handi ?
Wheat he declared that the salvation of this
country d. pendsd upon giving instruainn to the
peonle of Ireland. ant that he cep 'Red the
same boon to be imparted to the people of this
country, how could he consistently delay giving
eta• blessing which would reach not only to the pre.
sent generation, but to those yet unborn ? The
1t0... Gentleman (Mr. S. Bourne) who had offered
his Amendment, proposing delay. had rot told th-m
r at be was iiiendly to a system of general e..uca-
.ion, and in this delay he would be joined by all
th-se who hoped to g t rid of this measure aito-
ge her. Ihe .till d d not propose to compel people
to be edits ur only to give a power to Magis-
trates to etre sch ols and appoint schoolmasters ;
aaJ then •he re..t would follow. In Scotland
the ereeion of schools was compulsatory ; and there
it was consider-d almost as much disgrace for
persons not to be able to read and write, as here if
a person had committed a crime. There were clauses
its the .Bill enabling Justices to suspend the execn-
tir: of it in parishes, where it was not found to be
necessary. Should the Bill pass, charitable contribu-
tions would not cease, for the only intention was, to
raise the poor's rate for the education of thassi chil-
dren who were not otherwise instrueled, and not to
take away instrueion from r ose who already en-
joy it. Mr. W. obi •ad concluded with complain-
t ig of gentlemen's making objeeions to his Bill,
who evidently had not read and eaomined it : he
saw no good ground fur delay, which, he was of opi-
nion, would tend to rendet his Bill totally abortive.

Mr. S. BOURNE said. he was friendly to the
principle of the Hill
M-. WILBERFORCE. in explanation. said, he
:ht.ught as this was a measure which afieBed the
country at large, it ought to have the Smelt of
the sentiments of the Country Magistrates.
Sir JOHN NEW VORT approved of the Bill
as a general measure, although he considered it
totally inapplicable to ; for if education
was to be incorporated with a system of pro-
selytism, it must tail of its rife& ; and for this
opinion he tooted the words of Mr. Howard
He concluded with complaining of the abuse of
the Funds of the Protestant Charter Schools of
trelan I.

Mr. ROSE urged the postponement of this mea-
sure ; there appeared a general disinclination to it
throughout the country, a in proof of this he
read a letter from a Gentleman, stati-t that at
a Quarter Session., where above thirty Magistrates
were assembled, this measure had met with a gene-
ral disapprobation. He trusted, however, that the
Honourable Gentleman's well-meant endeavours
would give the greater facility to some pralticable
mode being adopted. Hr hoped that a plan would
be effeeted, which should admit of mixing habits of
industry, with education ; for in many places there
was a disinclination in the lower orders to send their
children to school merely for education. If the
Bill were now to be adopted, it would incur a
great expense in the ere&inn of schools, &c. with-
out producing much practical benefit. He approv-
ed ct the Amendment, as best calculated to recon-
cile the country to the measure ; it would thus be
rendered more palatable, and a better chance af-
forded for its ultimate success.

Mr. SIMEON thought the question came to
this, whether it were better to ado's: a voluntary
or a compulsory mode of education. He found a
general ohjeihion against enforcing this measure by
compulsion. Poor parent► were not averse to have
their children educated ; but from the ages of seven
to fourteen, in country places, they could send their
children into the fields, and gain something fur the
better support of their families ; sod if deprived
of this advantage, they would come sooner upon
the parishes for selief. He thought no one could
objea to the education of the poor, provided itlwas
coupled with religious instrulim. He ohjeded also
to this measure, on account of its expense.
Mr. LUSHING rON abjeded to the amend-
mete, as teildtoz to tender the measure itself per-
fedly nugatory
Lord MILTost spoke in fa, 'tar of the Bill, and
against the amendment. lis the Nuns and in
manufaiduring cooaties, where young penults could
earn even half-a guinea a week, yet they wen still

better educated than in the Southern and Western
parts of Fagl4nd ; and though a comoulsory
clause was not free from whjeftion, yet, upon the
whole, he thought it so far advisable, that he
should vote in favour of it.

Mr. S I MEO N explained.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUI:!t
spoke in favour of the amendment, as bettig,
his opinion. more ultimately beneficial to the
sure itself. He ohjeaed to the compulsory eia ice
be apprehended it would tend to pre►ert an equ.lit.i
extensive education as what was at present. It wAs
besides impossible to Enid a law which would make
an parishes resemble each other, any more than to
mike England resemble Scotland, as to a syster.:
of education. He approved of the measure of deny,
as the Assistance or the legislature would prove
more eflic,acious, after prejudicies were broken down,
rather tit.n to attempt now to force a measure urea
the country, in the fa. e of the prejudices of the Ma-
gist rates, and many parishes against it. The eds.
cation he approved of, was a religious education.--
Without religion and morals. mere educatiaa, or
teaching men to read and write, might make them
more cunning, but without the salutary advantage
of moral and religious principles, would aux render
them better men, better subjeas oncitixers.
