DESPATCHES FROM THE CRIMEA.

tion.

- -
Mr. DEEDES wished to a-k the noble lord at the
head of the Government whether any despatches had
been received at the War-office from the late Comman-
der-in-Chief of our army in the East relative to the actions
of the 18th June ; and, if so, why they had not been
made public ? He had been induced to ask the question
because private letters up to the 19th inst. had been re-
ceived in London.
Lord PALMERSTON replied that despatches of the
nature referred to had been received at the War-office
this afternoon, and they would be duly published in the
Gazette.

EDUCATION SCOTLAND (NO. 2) BTLL.
The house then went into committee on this bill, and

length,
the bill as altered was not calculated to promote the
education of the people of Scotland generally, but only
of a section of the community. It was exclusively a
Presbyterian measure, and its title was consequently a
delusion and a snare. The test clause had completely
changed its operation ; and had that clause
existed in the first instance, the house would
never have sanctioned the introduction of the bill.
It was on that account, therefore, that at this stage of
the bill, when there was so much business of an import-
ant character to be transacted, when there were so many
influential petitions against it from both sides of the
house, and when, moreover, even some of the best
friends of education were opposed to it, he saw no rea-
son why it should be persevered in, except that
if it were lost this session it would be lost
for ever. (Hear, hear, hear.) Under such circumstances
he felt bound to move that the chairman now report
progress without asking leave to sit again. (Hear and
laughter.)
Mr. FITZROY (the Chairman of the Committee) said
he could not put that question.
Mr. HADFIELD thereupon moved instead that the
Chairman now leave the chair.
Mr. WILLIAMS wished to ask the noble lord at the
head of the Government, how ho intended to dispose of
the 381,0001. voted for education in England and Wales.
According to a calculation which had bee made by the
member for Berwickshire, the cost of carrying on this
bill would be 200,0001., which would therefore only
leave 181,0001. for education in England and Wales,
Lord PALMEItSTON said that the amount voted
this year would be applied as it had formerly been under
the directions of the Committee of Council. With re-
gard to the measure before the house, he should suggest
that the house should not waste its time in
contending whether the bill ought to be discussed
or not, but that it should at once proceed to the prac-
tical question, and consider the principle it involved,
for surely there were amendments enough on the paper
to occupy mucb valuable time.
After some further discussion the amendment was
withdrawn.

THE DISTURBANCES IN HYDE-PARK.

At the Marlborough-street Police-court this evening,
Mr. Hardwick said at that late hour (a quarter to six)
it was impossible to go into each individual case. He
should, therefore, admit the whole of the prisoners to
bail, to appear to-morrow.
