squadron; and if so, why a faro° more adequate to cop
with any possible contingency that might arise had not
been despatched at the same time ?

Lord C. PAGET said that the Aurora had been sent
to the North Sea according to a practice that had pre-
vailed in this country for some time, namely, that
a British man-of•.war should be placed in seas where the
British nation had an interest, and where a foreign squad-
ron might be expected to visit.

THE AUSTRIAN SQUADRON.

In teply to Sir J. PAKI/iGTON,
Lord C. PAGE]: said that the Austrian Squadron had
left the Downs, but he did net know what wa3 its desti-
nation.

I Sir G. GREY said that he could only repeat the answer
he had given on a previous occasion to the affect that he
had new assurances from the Austrian Government that
the fleet was going into the North Sea merely to prevent a
blockade of the Elbe and the Wolper.

The Dismissal of Mr. Morell.

The official correspondence relating to the die-
of Mr. J. It. Morell from the office of her
Msjesty's Roman Catholic Inspector of Schools has
just been published. It appeared, that a memorial
was forwarded early in November last to the Com-
mittee of Council on Education, complaining of the
conduct of Mr. Morel! in the discharge of his off.
cial duties, and alleging that in September, 1861,
when Mr. Morell visited St. David's School, Cardi-
ganshire, two pupils, who were candidates for the
pupil teaohership, were not examined in his pre-
sence as they ought to have been, but that printed
examination papers, with the questions marked, were
left by him, with directions that the answers should
Ibe given to the Rev. S. Bruno. Other grounds of
complaint, relative to the mode of examination
adopted by Mr. Morell, were stated by the memo-
rialist, Mr. James Kelly, teacher of the said school,
who strongly impeached the impartiality of Mr.
Morell, both in the conduct of the examine•
tions, and in his official reports, and offered to esta-
blish the charges by evidence before the committee.
The memorial referred to led to a very lengthened
correspondence with the Committee of Council, and
in a letter, dated Nov. 26, Mr. Morrell denied the
allegations made by Mr. Kelly, stating that the lat-
ter had been suspended for misconduct by Mr.
Stokes, as "a mischievous prom who, with the
support of a powerful Irish party, made himself
very offensive at Cardiff." The Rev. Stephen Bruno,
in a letter to the Committee of Council on Educa-
tion, whose conduct had been complained of, also
described the charges made by Mr. Kelly as a
" tissue of lies." The charges then underwent in.
vestigation by the Committee of Council; and the
secretary of the committee, writing by their order,
complains strongly of the " great irregularity"
disclosed in the diaries of Mr. Morell, showing
that out of 153 engagements in 1862 to visit
elementary schools and to hold collective examine.
tions of pupil teacher, he bad kept 64 and failed to
keep 89. Much of the correspondence just pub-
lished consists of letters and documentary evi-
dence given in support of the charges of Mr, Kelly,
and the complaints of the Committee of Coun-
cil. In one case, Mr. Waterworth, Catholic
Chapel-house, Worcester, tells Mr. Morell that there
is one lengthened murmur against the uncer►ainty
of his visits, and in other places complaint is made
of the inconvenience caused by his arrangements.
Another portion of that correspondence refers to the
entry in his diary relative to the journey front
Cardiff to Plymouth on the 18th of September, 1863,
although it appeared that he crossed the Bristol
Channel on the night of the 17th. After a careful
consideration of the correspondence, quite apart
from the testimony of Mr. Kelley, Mr. Lingen, on
behalf of the Council of Education, writes that "my
lords of the committee feel themselves placed under
the necessity of calling upon you to resign your
office." In reply Mr. Morell begged most respect-
fully to decline the resignation. In accordance,
however, with the decision of the committee, Mr.
Lingen, the secretary, announced to Mr. Morell
that his appointment was cancelled by the Queen
in Council on the let March, 1864. Ic the last
letter, from Mr. Morell to Mr. Lingen, Mr. Morel!
states that he considers that he has been condemned
on an unfounded charge of untruth, without refe-
rence to the Tractice of the department on the point
imputed to him, and therefore without being heard.
