ENDOWED SCHOOLS BILL.

Mr. DILLWYN, in moving the second reading of this
bill, said he regretted that a large number of Petitions had
been presented against his measure. He considered, how-
ever, they were based on a misapprehension of the measure,
and doubtless much of the abuse that had been heaped upon
him personally was attributable to the same cause. When
he placed his bill on the paper for to-day it did not occur to
him that the Oxford commemoration would then be under
celebration, and that a number of hon. members, especially the
two members for the University, would desire to be at
Oxford to meet the Prince and Princess of Wales. Though
at the time he declined to postpone his bill, he begged now
to move that the order for the second reading be discharged,
as he saw no probability of pressing the bill to its ultimate
stages this cession. He wisked to have the measure fully
and calmly discussed, and would be ready in the future to
introduce all reasonable amendments. He denied that his
measure could be construed into an attack on the national
Church. He was actuated by any earnest desire to remove
all civil disabilities on account of religious opinions, Next
session he should re-introduce the bill.

Mr. SELWYN, in seconding the motion, denied on hp
part and those who acted with him in that house that any
actacks had been made on the hon. member for Swansea
(Mr. Dillwyn.) They had discussed the subject temperately
and courteously. The attacks he alluded to must have been
made out of doors.

Mr. DILLWYN admitted that this was so.
Mr. SELWYN trusted this was the last occasion on
which they would be asked to enter upon the discussion ofa
measure of this kind, which had now been five years before
the house, and that instead of entering upon unprofitable
discussions the hon. member would devote his experience
and time to rectify the wants of the population in regard to
the education and its spiritual need. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. LO WE hoped they had heard the last of the bill. By
it if a Dissenter founded a school for Dissenters it would be
so used, but if the King of England established a school for
the education of those attached to the Church of England
his gift would be void. (Hear, hear.) He need state no
further, because this was a fatal objection to the bill.
These discussions created ill feeling between Dis-
senters and member of the Church of England.
Lord HENLEY hoped the hon. member would proceed
with his bill next year, because, at present, Government
injustice was inflicted upon conscientious Dissenters in con-
nection with their Endowed Schools.

Mr. FORSTER considered that the bill would simply
uphold that spirit of civil and religious liberty, which for
many years had been the bent of the legislation. He
blamed the Government for their conduct on the bill.

Mr. HADFIELD approved of the bill, because it would
remove a piece of spiritual intolerance of the most objec-
tionable nature.

The order for the second reading was then discharged.
NAVY PRIZE MONEY.
Sir J. HAY moved the second reading of this bill.

Lord C. PAGET said the Government had a Consolida-
tion Bill in preparation which would be introduced early
next session.

After a short discussion, in which Mr, Hardy, Mr. Col-
lier, and Mr. Selwyn took part,

Mr. STANSFELD said be trusted the hon. bart. would
withdraw his bill after the pledge of his noble friend
that a consolidation bill of the most complete and compre-
hensive nature would be introduced very early next session.
Ultimately the bill was read a second time.

ELECTION PETITIONS BILL.
Mr. HUNT moved that the Speaker leave the chair.
Sir F. GOLDSMID hoped the bill mould not be pro-
ceeded with, as it would tend to encourage bribery and
corruption by discouraging bona fide petitioners.
Mr. ADDERLEY considered that the bill ought to be
proceeded with.
Mr. K. HUGGESON supported the measure, citing
his election experiences in support of immediate legislation
on the subject. A committee should examine petitions as
soon as presented, and decide like a grand jury whether
or no they should remit it for further investigation.
_ _ _

Mr. AYRTON hoped the Government would take up
the matter, and bring in a bill on this subject. With this
view he would move that the bill be referred to a select
committee.

Sir F. GOLDSMID seconded the motion.
The house divided, when there appeared—

CIVIL BILLS COURT (IRELAND) BILL.
Mr. O'HAGAN moved the second reading of this bill,
and explained at length its provisions. A high bailiff
would be appointed in each county by the chairman,
with a substantial salary of from £250 to £3OO a year, and
required to give ample sureties for the due performance
of his office. This officer would have the appointment of
the under bailiffs, and would be responsible for thoir acts.
The bill would clearly define the fees to be charged.
In most respects the mode of proceeding adopted
would be assimilated with that of Eugland. The
bill would take away the fees now allowed to
creditors in seizing growing crops, which at this time
resulted in great evil. The Government would be quite
ready to adopt all reasonable amendments. .

CARDIGAN v. CALTHORPE.—MoraIists may, per-
haps, not unprofitably consider the observation, which
seems to be well founded, that simultaneously with the
abolition of duelling there has been a luxuriant growth of
envy, hatred, malice, and all uncharitableness in the British
army.—Saturday Revie .
