IMPERIAL P

HOUSE OF LORDS---This Evening.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
at the usual hour.

HARBOURS GF REFUGE.

Lord RAVEN SWORT a gave notice that on Thursday
next he would ask the Government whether it was their
intention to bring in a bill to carry out the recommenda-
tions of the Royal Commission as to Harbours ct Refuge.
THE QUEEN'S ANSWER TO THE ADDRESS.
Lord SYDNEY brought up her Majesty's answer to
the Address agreed to by their lordships on the occasion of
the opening of Parliament. Her Majesty thanked the
house for their loyal and dutiful address. It was particu-
larly gratifying to her Majesty that their lordships partici.
pated in her feelings with respect to the marriage of the
Prince of Wales, which her Majesty prayed Almighty God
would prove conducive to the happiness of her family and
the welfare of her people.
CHARITABLE ENDOWMENTS.

Lord WROTTESLEY inquired when the Government
proposed to introduce any measure for carrying into effect
the recommendations of the education commissioners with
reference to charitable endowments. The abuses alluded
to in the report were by no means new to him. He con-
demned the manner in which the Parliament grant
was distributed, a great portion of it being
given to the masters of grammar schools who had few
or no pupils, and who each hoped the day would come
when they would have more, and there were many other
cases of similar improper expenditure. The abuses of the
system might be classed under several heads ; in some only
a portion of the income of the charity was devoted to chari-
table purposes; in others the object of the charity was a
proper one, but had become useless by the alteration in tlw
state of the country and the law, whilst in others the
foundation was good but the administration bad,
to remedy which the authority of a competent
board such as the Charity Commissioners, or a committee
of the Privy Council, should be interposed. The noble lord
then referred to a number of charities that had become use-
less as far as the poor were concerned, but were kept up
as a matter merely of form. He agreed with the recom-
mendations of the commissioners, that the administration
of these charities should be exercised by a committee of the
Privy Council. The provisions of the bill cf 1553, before
it
was altered, would be found exceedingly useful in carrying
such a suggestion into effect.
Earl GItANVILLE expressed his approval of the con-
clusions to which the Education Commission had come, as
regards a reform to secure the proper administration of
charitable funds. At present the commissions had not
sufficient power. The report of the Royal Commission was
of a very interesting nature, and the most important of
the recommendations was the transfer of the business of
the Charity Commission to the Privy Council. lie doubted
whether Varliaruent would confer such powers, but the
whole subject was under the consideration of Government.
Their lordships then adjourned.
