IRISH CONSTABULARY FORCE.

Mr. R. MOORE wished to ask the Chief Secretary
for Ireland if it be the intention of Government to in-
troduce any measure, or take any steps, to increase the
nay of the officers and men of the Irish Coustabluary
Force.

Sir J. YOUNG- -Yes, sir, the subject has been sub-
mitted to the Lords of the Treasury, and is now under
their consi ;oration.

MANCHESTER AND SALFORD EDUCATION

BILL.

Mr. ADDERLEY moved the second reading of the
above bill. It was a bill by which the ratepayers of
'rtauche,ster asked Parliament for leave to rate themselves
to support an education for all classes in that great
city. He regretted it was a private bill, but he would
take care, as far as in him lay, when it had passed a
committee upstairs lie would move for its re-committal,
in order to the full discussion of the bill. (Hear, hear.)
He regretted, for the sake of the country, that it was
the only bill for national education in England, and
he felt he could not appeal in vain at all
events, to her Majesty's Government on this subject;
but in moving this bill, he was moving a bill drawn up
by a body of Manchester gentlemen, who, he thought,
deserved well of the house and the country for the tin-
, wearied pains they had taken in this question. This
was the third time this bill had been brought before
Parliament, very much at the instance of the right hon.
Lzentleman the member for Manchester (Mr. M. Gibson),
who in 1851 hail it thrown out by moving for a select
committee. The noble lord the member for the city of
London (Lord J. Russell) had also thwarted the mea-
sure by his own promised but yet will-o'-the-wisp
scheme for -national education. This was not the
stage of the bill for going into the details, therefore he
trusted the house would allow him to treat it now only
on the general principles, and leave all discussion of
details to the committee. (Hear, hear.) The promoters
of the bill proposed to omit all religious questions in the
measure, and that secular education should alone be
provided by the proposed rate, and the voluntary
principle was to be adopted. (Hear, hear.) It
was clear, from the experience of many years, and from
the advatitageS of the fervour of a religious rivalry,
that private charity was unable to cope with the subject of
education for the great mass of the people. (Hear,
hear.) The right hon. gentleman (Mr. M. Gibson) who
was to move an amendment to his motion, was the
mouthpiece in this house of what was called the
National Society. He (Mr. Adderley) did not quarrel
with titles, but he thought the title of that class of peo-
ple to be called national, was in about the same ratio
as Tooley-street was to be taken as representing England.
(Hear.) The higher classes in this country reserve to
themselves exclusively the religious education of theirchil-
dren, while they send them to schools and colleges, and
lectures for their secular education, an argument which
he contended told strongly in favour of the separation in
our national schools of the secular and religious elements
of education. As to the Sunday schools, they had it on
the best authority that they were wholly inefficient.
The advocates of the denominational system in this
country invariably refer to the services of that system in
America ; but, from the evidence of Mr. Twistleton, the
principle most vital in America is not that of the de-
nominational system, but what be (Mr. Adderley) hoped
would long remain there—the strong religious feeling
which they have derived from the pilgrim fathers of
England.
