BANKRUPTCY.

In reply to Mr. CROSS,
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said ho regretted that
the Bankruptcy Bill was not yet in the hands of hon.
members. The Government draughtsmen was much
pressed just now, and that added to a desire to make the
bill short and concise was the occasion of the delay

QUEEN'S REMEMBRANCER (SCOTLAND.)
Mr. GLADSTONE said, as the gentleman who held the
office only died two or three days ago, he must be allowed
time to corrs!der whether it would be requisite to fill up
the appointment. Of course steps had been take❑ for the
performance of the duty of auditing the accounts, which
formed portion of the duty of the office.
SCOTCH POOR LAW.

The LORD ADVOCATE informed Mr. Cranford that
it was his intention to introduce a bill during the present
session to repeal the 37th section of the Scotch Poor-law
Act, 8 and 9 Vic. c. 83, and to provide that all assessments
in Scotland should be made on the gross rental.

EDUCATION.

On the motion for going into Committee of Supply,

Mr. MELLY called the attention of the house to the
number of young children in our large towns who were
growing up without any education, unaffected either by
the educational clauses of the Factory Act or by voluntary
efforts, and moved for a select committee to inquire into
the serious state of matters, and report on a system of
education that might remedy the same.

Mr. DIXON seconded the motion.
Mr. FAWCETT moved as an amendment the fol-
lowing :—" That in the opinion of that lions° it
was inexpedient to grant the proposed committee,
because the Government had at its command the it forma-
tion necessary for the framing of a comprehensive mea-
sure of national education, and that this house was fur-
ther of opinion that it was most important that such a
measure should be introduced with the least possible
delay."
Mr. FORSTER conceded that the statement iu the re-
solution, that there were numbers of youn4 children
growing up without any educailon, unaffected either by
the educational clauses of the Factory Act or by voluuta• y
efforts, was strictly true. The result was that wo had
this fearful state of things—a people growing up iu our
large towns with. ut education, and ready to become mem-
bers of the doe ,crous gasses. lle agreed with Mr.
Fawcett, however, that the time had gone past for in-
quiry, and that the time for a comprehete-tve measure
had come. lie might be asked, why not bring it in
now? His answ,e- was, that to deal with this question
as it demanded would require a session in which it
would be, if not the principal work, at least one of the
principal works. The problem to be solved was, how to
change the present partial and denominational system
into a national one, without doing injury to the former.
Then there was the difficulties connected with religion,
with rating, and aid from the Consolidated Fund, and with
the question whether education should be free or not, and
if the attendance should be compulsory. It was almost a
fearful thing for the Government to fool that it was their
duty to take up the question, but he admitted that it had
become their business to do so. Whatever inNtsure was
adopted, it must be of a more comprehensive character,
applicable to every part of the country; and there would
no doubt be an a'ivantage in the Government doing
their best to obtain by offieial inquiry a statistical re-
turn of the actual amount of education in three or four
of the largest towns. In this respect, anticipating the
advice of Lord Sander], it was his intention to put upon the
paper in a day or two a notice for a return which would
make the duty of the Government to find out the number
of scholars in Birmingham, Leeds, Liverpool, and Man-
chester, and what description of schools existed there.
having given this pledge he hoped Mr. Melly wou!d with-
draw his motion.

After some further debate Mr MELLY, accepting the
offer of the Vice-President of the Council, withdrew his
motion. •

Mr. CRAUFURD then moved for certain returns as to
the system of creating faggot vote's in Scotch counties,
particularly in those of Bute and Peebles, and accused
"gentlemen of the Tory persuasion" as being the first to
commence the system—(derisive shouts of " oh")—al-
though he did not assert that the Liberals were free from
blame. He advocated as a remedy the adoption, as in
boroughs, of a resident qualification.
The motion, after some discussion, was withdrawn, and
the house adjourned.
