BILL.

On the motion of Sir F. KELLY, who warmly corn-
plained of the present system, this bill was withdrawn.

FACILITIES FOR DIVINE SERVICE IN COL-
LEGIATE SCHOOLS BILL.

Mr COLLINS moved the second reading of this bill,
which was for the purpose of legalising the performance of
Divine worship in public schools.
Mr FIA.RDCASTLE moved as an amendment that it be
read a second time that day three months. He thought
the real object of the bill to be to enable the masters of cer-
tain public schools to have full divine service in their
schools, and they removed from the parents of the scholars
all control over their religious education. He was indis-
posed to greater facilities to the masters than those
which at present existed.
Mr REMINGTON MILLS supported the bill.

Mr KINNAIRD objected to the bill. It was of the
greatest importance, and therefore it ought to be considered
when there was a fuller attendance of members. He seconded
the amendment, because he thought the present measure
ought to have been introduced at the beginning rather than
at the close of a session of Parliament.

M.Mr NEATE expressed his disapprobation of the bill.

Mr F. S. POWELL supported the bill, but thought it
would be necessary to make several additions to it in its
next stage.

Sir G. GREY advised the hon. gentleman opposite not
to press the motion for the second reading, unless he would
agree to send it to a select committee. If he would agree
to such an arrangement, he would give him his support.
Mr COLLINS said, after the expression of opinion
which had taken place, he would, if the hon. member for
Colchester would withdraw his amendment, consent to the
order of the day being discharged.
This course was assented to, and the vote was withdrawn.

NAVAL YARD,

Lords Commissioners ComriBsinedmiryalty7der of h

jraptore.
taut freehold estate containing the whole of the Naval
Yard, with the extensive buildings, dwelling houses, &c.,with a largo house in Queen-street, formerly the Port Ad-
tniral's residence, and ground in Prospect-place, Deal, was
sold by auction yesterday, at Garraway's, by Mr Murrell,
auctioneer, under the direction of Mr Bristow, the solicitor
to the Admiralty. In consequence of the opening of the
new pier, wnich extends far out into the sea, and the pro-
posed erection of harbour and docks, the sale excited more
than ordinary interest. Garraway's was crowded to excess.
After various questions had been asked, the bidding com-
menced at £5,000, and after a most spirited contest the pro-
perty was knocked down to the Conservative Land Society
at £13,200. A portion of the property can be retained as a
naval yard, and the remainder turned into building land,
the want of houses being much felt at Deal. The esplanade
frontage to the sea is SOOft, and the frontage to the Dover
and Walmer-road is more than 8001 t. The property abuts
on Deal Castle, and commands fine views of the sea oust,
and is also opposite the anchorage of the fleet when in the
Downs
