NATIONAL E DUCATION (IRELAND).
Major O'REILLY gave notice that on going into supply
on the estimates for national education in Ireland, he should

ROYAL VICTORIA PATRIOTIC ASYLUM.
Mr. TORRENS asked Colonel Wilson Patten, whether
there were any vacancies in the asylum at Wandsworth ; if
so what number : And, further, he wished to state whether
it was the rule or intention to fill up any vacancies in the
asylum solely with children of soldiers who died in the
Crimea, to the exclusion of the children of those who,
having served in the Crimea, have since died on service
with their regiments in India or elsewhere.
Col. W. PATTEN replied that there were at this time
37 vacancies in the asylum, which were caused by the neces-
sity that had arisen for providing a temporary hospital.
The institution could afford accommodation for 300 children,
and the full complement would shortly be placed on the
foundation. The design of the institution was for the re-
ception of children of soldiers who had died in the Crimea
during the Russian war, either in action, from their
wounds, or disease. They had the first claim. It was
under the consideration of the Commissioners whether
would not be well, as vacancies occurred, to admit the
in the service of their country. In the
chil-
dren of soldiers who had died in various parts alow world
end all the claims
of soldiers' children would be met.
