The report a as then bronchi up and rend.
On the Is nlu,iun that there be an addition of 6,0031. a
year to al, isseu:no of the Doke of Clarence,
.fir. lIU %I spoke against it, mid concluded with pro-
posim.l, that the sum be reduced to 3,5001.
Mr. MOORE supported the propriety of such reduc-

pros ided 'must eleuantl) anal liberally.

Oil the question for ;ranting the 18,0101. at rears,
Mr. BEitNAL objected to that grant as not coming
regularly before aw house. In the present stale of the
coml. ry, lie could not consent to give the arrears, altliongls
he did trot oppose 111:• annual allowance to the royal Duke.
Lord LONDONDERRY said, the objections or the
hon. member et iginated in the esommity of late. 'rite
18,0001. now proposed to be paid to Isis royal liighliess
could not be considei ed as arrears, but us a vote founded
on a giaut formerly nuide by parliament. His royal
Mi.:linos, note itlistandhig all his economy, found it im-
possible io live • ituin the bounds of his income as it stood
at present. Ile had wished and endeavoured to do so;
Ma finding it impossible, it was bill equitable that the
house should step in and save his royal highness from suf-
fering inconvenience by his endeavours to save the public
pose.
Mr. Curwen and Mr. R. Williams also objected to the
vote. . _

After some further discussion, the house divided on Mr.
Bernal's amendment to omit the arrears—For the amend-
ment, St—For granting the strews, 11I—Majority iii
favour of the motion, 50.
The house then proceedial to resolve itself into a com-
mittee of supply, and to discuss the f t ish estimates.
Mr. C. GRANT moved that the sum of 10,0001. be
granted her the bullpen t of the society fur promoting edte-
catinu among the poor in, Ireland.
Mr. BECIIEit expressed his wish that the money now
called for ought to be devoted for the education of the
poor, without distinction of sect.
Mr. C. GLIANT cautioned the home not to attach to
persons who were acting gratuitously, conditions which it
was trite impossible that they should ever accept.
Sir J. NEWPORT expressed himself strongly in fa-
vour of extending the aid of the legislature to the gra-
tuitmis exertions of such individuals as were anxious to
diffuse the blessings of education among the poorer classes
of Ireland. Ile likewise. remarked, that wherever any
attempt had been made to inter tare in the matters of re-
ligion, it hail invariably counteracted the attempt to.
promote the cause of education, in Ireland.
Mr. HUME observed, that though there were many
societies in Ireland whose object was to give education te
the poorer orders of the Proirstantpopulation, there was
uoue histitioted for the education of the lower orders of
the CAtIII,IIICII. This society was therefore established
with a view, not of promoting education amongst the
members of every sect. The principles, however, on
which it had been 01 iginally established, had nut been
strictly ohserved; for it determined not to give assistance
to any school in which the Bible without text or commeut
was loot read. Now that determinatnen amounted to is
virtual exclusion of the Catholics from the benefit to be
derived from tire funds of this institution.

After a few remarks from Mr. Grattan, Cut. Barry, and
Mr. livelier, the question was then put, anti the rewlutiuu
carried.

Dlr. C. GRANT proposed a vote of 7,0091. for the Dub-
lin soclet3 hick was agreed to.

and glebe houses.
hir J. N EW PORT maintained that the first fruits' fund,
if properly administered and collected, aas sufficient for
the ifaupose ni this resat utioa. In the ensuing session, he
again gas so notice, that he would move for a committee on
the subject. it might to amosint to 2,',00(11. a )ear,

Mr. F. PA L.AI Elt said it was quite impossible at that

near one u chick, and the popes' attention could nut pos-
sibly be paid to them at such an hour.
