property. Others, who may entertain similar views, are invited
to join them. Qualification, of a member of the Society, the
purchase of one hundred acres of land ; of a member of the
Committee, five hundred acres, including part of the first town.

Company on the emigration of the purchasers, their families,
and servants. Members admitted by ballot only.

to reach their destination about Midsummer (in the southern

termined and prepared for their reception, by a preliminary ex-
pedition now on its way to New Zealand.
The Committee meets daily at the offices of the New Zealand

LONDON :
SATURDAY, JUNE 15, 1839.

The House of Lords sat only for a short time, and
adjourned till Monday. Several petitions were pre
seated, and Lord MELBOURNE gave Lord BROUGHAM
an assurance that he hoped peace would be maintained
in the East. The Noble Lord also gave a similar ac-
count of the intention of Government relative to print-
ing Bibles in Scotland, to that given by Lord JOHN
RUSSELL in the House of Commons the night before
last.

The National Petition was presented by Mr. T.
ATTWOOD, with some pomp, and the Hon. Member,
contrary to the regulations of the House, was heard on
it at some length. He also gave notice that he should,
on the first supply-day, next week, move that the House
resolve itself into a Committee to take the petition into
consideration. Mr. FIELDEN seconded the motion for
the petition to be printed.
A considerable number of petitions were presented
1 on the subject of Education, chiefly against the Minis-
. terial plan.
On Lord Jour; RUSSELL'S moving the Order of the
Day for the House to go into a Committee of Supply,
Lord STANLEY rose to move the Address we adverted
to in our Evening Edition, which was as follows :—..
I" Praying that her Majesty will be graciously pleased
to revoke the Order in Council of the 10th April, 1839,
appointing a Committee of Council to superintend the
application of any sums voted by Parliament, for the
purpose of promoting public education."
He objected to giving the direct controul and all but
legislative authority over the moral and religious educa-
tion of the people, to any Board or Committee, let it
be called what it might. He contended that the
House was called on to delegate indefinite powers to
an irresponsible body. He objected to making educa-
tion depend on and fluctuate with any change of Go-
vernment. He adverted to the jealousy with which
1 such powers must be viewed if possessed wholly by
Churchmen. Ifit were wrong to entrust funds foredu-
cation to any Government, it was doubly so to entrust
such funds to a Government struggling for existence,
which might use them to support their Parliamentary
supporters. So Lord STANLEY, who has been in
office, and had the distribution of funds in Ireland,
thinks a Government may act, and he will pardon the
community for entertaining and extending the same
suspicion. There was no confidence placed in the
scheme, Lord STANLEY said ; he personally objected
to it because the Board was composed of laymen,
and he wishes education to be under the in-
fluence of . the priesthood. To make out his
bask
the Noble Lord did not disdain to go
k to the time of HENRY ii., when the clergy were
the only teachers, and did not overlook a poor advan-
tage he endeavoured to obtain by assigning to the
French word e spfirituelle," as opposed to bodily, the
E"nelili:l.2smea.n.ing o
us.spiritual as opposed to lay or secular.
