The noble earl took the opportunity of stating that con-
siderable apprehension had been excited in Ireland by a

vernment in the course of the last session that some in-
tention
existed in his mind to introduce some change in
the existing system of national education. He was bound
to say that no such apprehension ever existed in his
ininci, and he believed that by this time it had been en-
tirely removed from the minds even of the petitioners,
chiesy
in consequence of the speech lately made by the
noble lord the Secretary for Ireland.

self, and of his noble friend at the head of the Irish Go-

u, that the matter should be submitted to the deli-
erate judgmente of their Lordships' House. He would
eh 1' now definitely fix the day, but if Monday would suit
ul convenience of noble lords opposite, he would be
quite ready to take it on that day.
The Earl of DERBY said that after the announce-
mentlent which he had made the other night that no public
insiness would be brought before the house, many noble
i„°rl hart left town ; and if the noble marquis persevered
tue motion, he thought sufficient time ought to be allowed
or them to return. So far as his own convenience was con-
ewearned Monday would suit him perfectly well. He
w 8 perfectly willing to adopt such a resolution as
b°lad definitively acknowledge the free trade system ;
ey.h he Was not prepared to call upon noble lords who,
Willing to adhere to the free trade system, were
21 disposed to acquiesce in the original policy of the
,I'lsure of 1846. Some such resol-ition as this, he
ught, might be acquiesced in by all sides of the

`ng the evils of frequent change in the financial
