PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY.

In the Loans' last night, among other petitions, were two
presented by Earl Radnor, frbm a town in Somerset, and from
Wareham, praying for a redress of Dissenters' grievant-a, and
for the establishment of the Voluntary Primple. A long
debate arose nu a motion submitted by the Bishop of Exeter
..(but subsequently withdrawn), fry a Committee on the New
System of Education in Ireland. The motion, it will lie
seen, was levelled against the Commissioners, under whose
sanction ;the Education of Ireland was conducted. Lord
Melbourne justly observed that Education had found its bit-
terest*elieyriQs in the Irish Protestant Clergy, but that the
" INlxik,issstem had met the approbation of all public men.
It waPliitroduced by his Noble Friend (Lord Stanley)—a
knoWn*gnd to the Established Church: It was sanctioned
and sup ired by the late Gr.s.nernment, who prepared the
estimate. flissed last year. The present Government ap-
proved of it ; and the system being so generally, sanctioned
and supported, their Lordships would act unwisely if they
interfered with its advancement by acceding to the present
metir..n.”

In the COMMONS the principal topic of discussion was the
Stamp Acts. It will be seen that.the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer adopted, with reference to Newspaper Stamps, pre-
cisely the course which we yesterday said he would pursue.
In April the Right Hon. Gentleman will propose a reduction
from 4d. on each paper (the amount of the present tax minus
the discount) to ld. A postage in lieu of duty, he said, would
he of unequal operation ; he therefore adhered to the penny
duty. The same was to extend to Ireland. With regard to
conveyances and bonds, the Right Hon. Gentleman proposed
one uniform scale of one per cent., whatever might be the
amount. For the correction of the present unequal scale,
hearing so unjustly
William Cobbett,
poorer classes, we are perhaps in-
debted to the late Cobbett, who called the attention
of the House to the existing iniquitous Stamp Acts. A re-
duction on the Stamp Duty of Bills of Exchange, with
many other alterations, for which we refer to our report
of the Right Hon. Gentleman's speech, was also announced.
Previous- to the exposition by the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer of his plan for consolidating the several Stamp Acts,
Mr. Wakley, Dr. Bowring, Mr. D. W. Harvey, &c., pre-
sented petitions for the repeal of the Duty on Newspapers.
The following subjects were briefly adverted to by various
Hon. Members in the earlier part of the sitting, viz. :—lrish
Poor Laws, New Houses of Parliament, the Emancipation of
the Jews, Carlow Election, Unstamped Newspapers, South
American States, Murder of Spanish Prisoners. There were
afterwards a debate and a division, on Major Ilandley's mo-
tion for repealing the Excise duty on Soap. The majority
against the motion of the Hon. Member for Lincolnshire
was 70.
