ROMAN CATHOLIC SAtLORa

EDUCATION (SCOTLAND) BILL.
_ _

(LEFT SPEARING.)

THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING-, MAY l2, 1854,

of committee Government would be prepared to state their
intentions with re,,-vir.l to them.

Mr. LUCAS took the opportunity of the motion Los ad-
journment for drawing the attention of the house to
the compulsory attendance of Catholic sailors on the
Church of England service celebrated on board her
Majesty's ships. The right honourable baronet the
First Lord of the Admiralty stated the other night
that for a hundred years past no complaints had been
made of the regulations which prevailed on board ship
with regard to divine worship, but the right hon. baronet
must have been mistaken on that head, for repeated com-
plaints had been made by the Rev. Mr. Kelly and another
Roman Catholic priest on behalf of Roman Catholic sailors
Sir J. GRAHAM adhered to what he had already stated
on ti.is subject; the attendance of Roman Catholics at the
performance of the service on board sh;p was purely volun-
tarily on the part of Roman Catholics, and with the ex-
ception of some complaints made by the Roman Catholic
priests of Portsmouth and Sheerness, no fault whatever
had been found with the regulations which had now been
in force for upwards of a century.
Admiral WALCOTT had been a great many years at
sea, and he had never heard of any complaints on this sub-
ject.
Mr. J. O'CONNELL suggested that Roman Catholic
sailors should be allowed to assemble on the poop by them-
selves for the celebration of religious worship on Sundays
according to the ritual of their own persuasion.
The subject then dropped, and the motion for the ad-
journment of the house was then agreed to.

THE NEW BUDGET.
Sir J. PAKINGTON asked the noble lord the member
for the city of London what part of the new resolutions it
was proposed to take on Monday.
Lord J. RUSSELL replied that Government would pro-
pose to take the resolutions relating to spirits and malt,
and therefore the second reading of the bill embodying
those resolutions would stand first on the order of the day
for Monday.
