IRISH EDUCATION. •
The Earl of RODEN had taken the very first opportunity
of bringing forward' a question of the very greatest import-
ance connected with the welfare of Ireland, and he had thought

it proper to do so In the form of a question to the Noble Mariids
opposite. Last session he had moved for returns connected with
education in Ireland ; all of which were promised but one, point-
ing out the religion of the children attending the schools
tinder the new Board, Ile thought there must be some
reason for the refusal of that which was the most intiportant of
all he had asked for, arid none could be more easy. One of
the questions he would put would be relative to that paper.
He had the Report of the Commissioners hi his hand, and on
it he had a few words to say before putting his qattas.ions.
He felt himself bound to deny many of the facts stated to the
House by the Commissioners. It was his duty and privilege
to live in Ireland, and he trusted he lived with reasonable
mcrf, and he had not found one who thought that this systsm
was one at all consistent with the feelings of the Protestants
of Ireland. With all due respect to the Commissioners,
he must differ with the, statements of the Report.—( Hear.)
The Report then went on to recommend the system
of education, and recommended an expenditure for it; but he
was afraid that many of their Lordships were tithiquainted
with the system, and he was afraid that the country generally
knew nothing of it. They recommended an expenditure of
200,0001. in nine years, in favour of a cause which he thought
would lead to much mischief and misery. He thought the
cause one of vast importance, and had taken the first oppor-
tunity of getting the opinion of the Government upon the
subject, and to enter his protest against the Report and the
system generally. He disclaimed bringing forward the ques-
tion from political or party views—he had opposed it from the
first, for he thought then as he did now; it would prove a curse
to the country by producing a famine of the word of God in the
land, which was the greatest curse that could be possibly in-
flicted on any country. He had always read in history that
when Protestantism was strong in this country, it was strong at
home and respected abroad; but that when Protestantism was
sacrificed to political expediency she was despised.—(Hear,
hear.) He would warn the Noble Lords opposite of the course
they were pursuing towards Ireland. He hoped the people of
England and of Scotland would show, by petitions to that
House, that they were not of those reasonable men who
had chanEeda- their opinions as mentioned in the Report.
—( Hear.) He wished to ask the Noble Marquis, whether
he would be kind enough to lay on the table the relative num-
ber of Protestant and Catholic children attending the new
schools, and whether the Government intended to act aspen the
Report, and disburse the sums of money recommended in the
Report of the Committee.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE, after acknowledging the
personal compliments paid him by the Noble Earl, said he was
sorry that it was not in his power, or in the power of the Go-
vernment, to grant him his first request. The Commissioners
appointed under the Bill thought that they could not make
such a rctarn as was then asked fore They consider that by
so doing they. would exceed their functions!. and if they
were to inquire who were Protestants and who Catho-
lics, they would have kept up the old enmity between the
two religions, which it waS intended to do away with

the right—and he, wished that they oftener exercised it—of
giving religious instruction to those of the children attending
the Schools belonging to the congregation, anti on other days the'
Catholic Priest had the same liberty with those belonging
to their faith ; but the Master, acting under the Commissioners,
had no power to make any inquiry upon the subject. If the
Noble Earl wanted such a Return for the purpose of found-
ing an argument upon it, there was no necessity for
them.__( Hear, hear, hear.) The Noble Earl had a right
to use that argument, forit was perfectly well known that there
were many more Catholic children attending these schools than
Protestant, and it must be so, for the proportions of the one to
the other Was enormous, and the plan was intended for the be-
nefit of all.—(heat/ hear.) But if the Noble Earl would look
at the Report to which he hag alluded, he would find that from
the Protestant province of Ulster there were applications for
schools under the new plan, signed by 260 Pre!estant clergymen
of that provinci—surely they would not have made such ap-
plications if they had not found that it had been of very great
benefit to the country by their manner of instruction. The
attend question was one of much greater extent and import-
dfiett, It wet to be remembered that the Report on the table
of the Home wee made by the Commissioners in consequence
of the instructions given them under the Bill. He (the Mar-
euis of Lansdowne) agreed isith the Noble Earl that the
amount prOposed to be expended in the Report was too large to
be granted, except after the most minute examination and at-
tention to tile matter in all its branches. It was to be remem-
bered, however, that it was not yet taken into eon:side-
ration--( Hear, hear)—that the matter had not yet been
brought before Parliament—but that it was laid before
there, because such information was always convenient to be
iii possession of the Parliament. He was not prepared to say
that any Intel-Ilion had been formed by the Government
of proposing to Parliament any scale of expenditue—
equal to that recommended in the Report: but he had no
hesitation in saying for himself, that he trusted that in some
shape or another funds will be raised at no distant period
for carrying into effect the extended benehts of education
under the same system. He was convinced that it was doing
no moue than educating and civilizing, and thereby reconciling,
that portion of the King's dominions, The Noble Earl had said
that he did not know any benefits which had flowed from the
new system. Was the Noble Earl aware that under even the
presented limited scheme there were 203,000 children receiving
education under the plan which was recommended by the Com-
missioners of 1812, signed by most of the Prelates of that day.
At page 65 of the report it would be found that the Commis-
sioners had stated selections might be made in which most im-
portant parts of sacred history would be included, together
with all the precepts of morality and instructive examples, by
which those precepts were illustrated and enforced, and which
should not be subject to the objections which had been made to
the use of the of the Scriptures. They stated further, that such
a volume of extracts of the sacred writings, would, in their
opinions, form the best preparation for that more particlular
'religious instruction which it would be the duty, and they
doubted not, the inclination of also the several minis-
ters of religion, to give at prOper times and in proper
places to the children of their respective districts. To this
report was subscribed the names of William Armagh, Charles
Cashel, and other eminent Prelates. He could not believe
that the attempt to Carry into effect the principle recom-
mended by such high authorities would be attended with other
than beneficial results. No person could now travel in Ireland
without seeing the great reform it had worked in the moral
and religious liberty of the people. The system was placed
an intelligible shape, and provided for sin a manner which
ensured to that remote and miserable population the blessings
' of that species of education which all those learned Prelates,

to the extent to which it might be carried,
yet he would state to the House, and the country, that
he was prepared to give still further effect to that
which he considered was the greatest of all possible
blessings.—( Cheers.) He was sorry he was able to give the
Noble Earl opposite more full or authentic information.
A NOBLE LORD said that he .could only speak locally as to
this system being approved of; and in the place with which
lie was acquainted, he knew that the Protestant clergymen
were greatly satisfied with it.
The Bishop of EXETER rose, and was left speaking.
