SCIIENIE.

Mr. M. GIBSON moved that the following Gentle-
men be nominated a Select Committee on Manchester
and Salford Education:—Mr. Milner Gibson, Mr.
William Miles, Viscount Melgund, Mr. Monsell, Mr.
Bright, Marquis of Blandford, Lord John Ru3sell, Mr.
Gladstone. Mr. Heald, Mr. Cobden, Mr. Cardwell, Mr
Fox, Mr. Ker Seymer, Mr. Brotherton, and Mr. Child.
Mr. ?aro objected to the composition of the Com-
mittee as proposed, upon the ground that certain parties
who took a great interest in the question of education,
and who ought to be represented upon it, were not re-
presented at all. He might briefly state that there were
four great parties who took a deep interest in this ques-
tion. First, there were those who conceived it to be the
office of the Church to educate the people. Next, there
were those who relied entirely upon the voluntary sys-
tem. The third were those who took it to be the duty
of the State to inculcate secular education; and, fourthly,
there were those who combined all instruction, and would
give a mixed secular and religious education to the
people. On the part of those who advocated the volun-
tary principle he begged to assure the House that that
party had been in earnest—that they had done the work
cemmitted to them to the best of their ability, and that
the country was greatly indebted to them for what they
had accomplished.—(Hear, hear.) He would not further
detain the House than to express his dissent from the
appointment of the Committee as at present proposed,
and to give notice of his intention on a future occasion
to move the addition of new names.

Mr. M. GIBSON admitted the justice of the claim
that those to whom his Hon. Friend referred should
be fairly represented upon the Committee. Perhaps,
however his Hon. Friend was not acquainted with the
views of some of the members of the Committee. He
had submitted to the Government the name of one gen-
tleman who, he hoped, would have been acceptable to
those who were in favour of a voluntary system of
education ; but that name bad been objected to,
and the name of Mr. Heald had been substituted for it.
He should not object to the appointment of his Hon.
Friend in the place of Mr. Heald, or, if the Committee
should be increased in number to beyond fifteen, he
should not object to the addition of one or two gentle-
men holding the views which his Hon. Friend had in-
dicated. He suggested that the Committee should be
allowed to pass now, and that his Hon. Friend should
give notice of his intention to move some additional
names.

Mr. HEYWORTH thought it very desirable that the
friends of the voluntary system should be represented
on the Committee.

Mr. WALPOLE, who was but imperfectly heard, was
understood to represent that there was not a single
Member of the Government upon the Committee, and to
suggest that the nomination should, for the present, be
post poned.
Mr. HINDLEY concurred in recommending that.the
appointment should be postponed; and this course was
ultimately adopted.
On the motion of the ATTORNEY-GENERAL for
IRELAND, the following members were added to the
Select Committee on Outrages (Ireland) : Mr.
O'Flaherty, Mr. Scully, Mr. W. Goold, and the Solici-
tor-General for Ireland.

On the motion of Mr. G. A. HAMILTON, on the
part of Lord R. Grosvenor, the following Members were
added to the Select Committee on Ventilation and Light-
ing the House :—Mr. Stephenson, Mr. Locke, and Mr.
Henry Fitzroy.
The Report on Supply was then brought up and re-
ceived.

The Indemnity Bill, as amended, was considered, and
ordered to be read a third time on Thursday.
Tho Copyright Amendment Bill was ordered to be
recommitted on Friday next.
ST. ALBANS DISFRANCHISEMENT BILL.

The Report on this Bill having been Taronght;;;--
Mr. BELL said he did not mean to oppose the recep-
tion of the report. He thought ho had done as much
as could be expected from him under the circumstances.
He only wished to say that he hoped the crusade against
Sc. Albans would not terminate with the disfranchise-
ment of that borough, because, if it did, instead of
being of service, the measure would only excite dissatis-
faction in the minds of the public. But if her Majesty's
Ministers would take advantage of the information
which they had received through the St. Albans Com-
missioners,
.and would, before the dissolution of Par-
liament, bittl in a Bill which should more effectually
check corruption than any Act that had hitherto been
passed, he felt certain that it would give great satis-
faction to the public, and would deserve the respect and
support of every honest man in the kingdom.—(Hear,
hear.)
Mr. WALPOLE said that the Noble Lord who was
lately at the head of the Government was, in point of
fact, to move the second reading of his Corrupt Prac-
tices et Elections Bill to-morrow (Wednesday), which
Bill was founded, almost word for word, upon the St.
Albans Disfranchisement Bill, and he begged to say
that it was the intention of the Government to support
the Bill. and endeavour to pass it. <Hear. hear.)
Mr. HUME hoped the Government was sincere in
their declaration that they intended to support a measure
for the effectual suppression of bribery. For himself, he
did not believe that it could be altogether put an end to;
but he thought the best means that could be adopted for
that purpose was the introduction of the ballot—(Hear,
hear)—and he intended, therefore, to test the sincerity
of Hon. Al•-nabers on the subject by proposing a motion
to that effect.

The report on the St. Albans Disfranchisement Bill
was then received.

The Consolidated Fund (8,000,0001) Bill was read a
third timeai.d passed.

The all to Consolidate and Enlarge the Acts relat-
ing to the Appointment and Pay of Parish Constables
was brought in and read a first time.

The 11-Ouse adjourned at Half-past Eight o'clock.
