PUBLIC BUSINESS.

Lord J. Er rSSELL having laid on the table a mn.
vention rebid ye to the succession to the throne of
Greece, prod eded to state the course which Govern-
ment intend( 3i I to pursue with respect to the conduct of
the public b siness. The noble lord, who spoke in so
low a tone as. to be very indistinctly heard, was under-
stood to say - -In moving that these papers lie on the
table I this tk it may be convenient to' the house if I
state the co- ar se which her Majesty's Government mean
to pursue with respect to the measures which it is their
intention to bring forward in the early part of the pre-
sent session. (Hear, hear.) I beg to say at 'once that'
it is not my in tention, nor is it at all necessary for me
to make an: y statement with regard to the general

Go-
vernment, a n, is
to require n o further remark on that subject. (Hear.
Her Majesty's Government intend, as soon as .the
estimates for' placed
in year can be laid on the table and laced
in the hanels of honourable members, to bring those
estimates tr rider the consideration of the house. We
hope to be able on. Friday evening to ask the house to
resolve itself: into a committee on the navy estimates ;
and we inter ad, as soon as possible afterwards, to proceed
with the estimate:s for the army and ordnance. With.
regard to the nuraber of men for the army, navy, and•
ordnance, I halm to state that there will be no increase
beyond the mu aber voted before the Christmas holidays
—(hear, hear) . In the sums to be voted there will
be a consider able increase upon the estimates of last
year, but whe: a the details are submitted to the house I
believe such-e: cplanations will be given relative to that
increase, as a vill prove satisfactory to the house. At
all events, the reasons for that increase will be brought
under discussi ion. Besides the estimates, we propose
to bring form ,rd, in the first place, a bill to enable the
legislature of Canada to dispose, with due regard to the
interests of the present holders of the clergy reserves of
that provinco.. (Hear, hear.) It is the intention of the
present Gov' ernment to carry into effect the statement
made on the part of the Crown by Lord Grey when 'he
was Secretary for the Colonies. The next question to be
submitted to the house will be brought forward by my
right hon. friend the President of the Board.of Trade,
who, in moi Ting for leave to introduce a bill on the sub-
ject of pilotage, will state the course which he proposes
to pursue with respect to the light dues and various
other matter; affecting the shipping interest. (Hear.)
I propose on, a very early day to ask the house to resolve
itself into a .committee of the whole house, with a view
to the removal of the disabilities now affecting the Jew-
ish subjects of her Majesty, and of placing them on the
same footing as all other classes of her Majesty's subjects.
(Hear.) The) next question which I propose to bring
before the ho use—but not until after the estimates have
been voted— is one on the important subject of educa-
tion. (Hear, hear.) I will not endeavour to excite
any false hopes or expectations by saying that I am
about to pro duce on the part of the Government a very
large plan upon that subject ; but I shall make certain
proposals which I think, if they are adopted, will tend
very greatly to further and promote the cause of educa-
tion—a cause which impresses itself more and more
upon the minds of all who consider the future destiny
of this country, and which in every respect, whatever
opinions we may entertain, and whatever plans we may
think best, must be considered of the very highest impor-
tance. In stating the views of the. Government upon the
subject of the education of the poorer classes generally,
I will, either then or shortly afterwards, explain the
course which the Government intend to pursue with re-
spe
ot to the report which has been made by the commis-
sioners relative to the universities of Oxford and Cam-
bridge. (Hear, hear.) lam at present unable to state
when any educational measure for Scotland will be
brought forward, because I have not had an opportunity
for some time of conversing with my honourable and
learned friend the Lord Advocate, but probably in the
course of the present session a bill on that subject will be
introduced by the Government. (Hear.) There is another
