PEDESTRIANISM —DEERFOOT AND SMITH.-A
six mile race between the above men took place yesterday,
but in consequence of the disrepute these races have now
acquired there were very few persons present. At the 18th
lap Smith resigned the contest, and the Indian was left to
finish the remainder of the distance.
POPULATION, REVENUE, &C.—Under this title
a curious little return, one of what may be called the fancy
returns that occasionally make their appearance, has been
presented to Parliament on the motion of Mr. Kinnaird. It
shows that in the three years 1858-60 the amount of taxa-
tion paid by the three kingdoms under the head of Customs,
Post-office, and Inload Revenue (omitting income-tax on
public funds and public salaries) was as follows:—England
£149,524,475, Scotland £22,451,980, Ireland £19,850,936;
in all, £191,827,391. Scotland paid considerably more in-
land revenue than Ireland, and somewhat more customs'
duties, but in letter-writing numbers count, and the postage
paid was greater in Ireland. Then follows a calculation
that
population and revenue for the three years are these :
England of M.P.'s to the mean of
many, but Scotland 21 toe few. Which was to be proved.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS—YESTERDAY,
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
at five o'clock.

THE EDUCATION MINUTE.

The Earl of DERBY presented several petitions against
the new education minute. The noble earl said, seeing
the noble earl, the President of the Council, in his place,
he wished to ask a question, or rather oiler a suggestion,
with respect to the course that was proposed to be taken
with respect to the'discussion on the new education minute.
When the new minute was first made public great
apprehension and dislike was evinced. Subsequently
her Majesty's Government made some alterations, and as
far as they went they wore in the right direction, but there
still remain many other points which would require the
most serious consideration. There was, for instance, the
new state and altered condition of pupil teachers; the
examination of pupils in elementaryschools, and that relat-
ing to the remuneration to be paid under the new code, which
was at variance with the report of the Royal Commission,
upon which the code was formed. If the measure was.only
an experimental one, and to come under consideration year
after year, ho might feel 'disposed to allow the measure
to be tried as an experiment, but he looked upon it as a
permanent system, and therefore it was desirable that it
should be considered most attentively by this and the other
House of Parliauent in all its details. Instead of the course
intended to be pursued, the subject could be best dealt
with if the whole of the provisions were embodied in a
series of resolutions, when the whole details could be most
amply discussed in the same manner as that
of an ordinary bill, clause by clause. If this course
was not adopted resolutions could still be moved con-
demnatory of some provisions of the measure, if it was
thought advisable to adopt that course. What he wished
to ask was, whether the Government would have any ob-
jection to the embodying the main proposals in a series of
resolutions which would enable Parliament to thoroughly
discuss each part of the scheme.

Earl GRANVILLE said he had to thank the noble earl
for the candid manner in which he had spoken on the sub-
ject the other evening, when the revised code was
under discussion. He must say, however, that with respect
to the present suggestion of the noble earl, he did not see
any reason for a departure from the usual course of pro-
ceeding as regarded the discussion of the new educational
minute. He begged to assure the noble earl that there
was no desire on the part of the Government to abridge
discussion, neither war there any wish on the part of the
Government to avail itself of any technicality. He re-
gretted he could not assent to the course proposed by the
noble earl. _ _
