Government plan for the education of the natives of India.

ROMAN CATHOLIC RELIEF BILL.
Lord LYNDHURST gave notice that to-morrow he
should move that this bill be read a second time. Some
persons might entertain erroneous views as to the purposes
of this bill, but it was merely to enable the other house to
convert a resolution they had passed some time ago into a
standing order.
SICILIAN AFFAIRS.
_ _ _ .

The Marquis of NORMANBY said he had given notice
previously to the noble lord opposite of his intention
of asking him a question respecting a statement
that had appeared in the Official Gazette of
Palermo, to the effect that an accredited officer was about
to arrive in this country from that place. He should like
to know whether the Government had received any such
information, because this country being still in amity with
Naples could not receive a Minister appointed by an adven-
turer who had become possessed of Palermo by force of
arms.

Lord WODEHOUSE said he had seen the statement re-
ferred to by the noble lord, but Government had not re-
ceived any other information. He would take that oppor-
tunity of informing the noble marquis that despatches had
been received from Mr. Elliot, who had, it was said, inter-
fered with respect to the seizure of two of Garibaldi's
steam-vessels. The despatches informed the Government
that.the statement was entirely without foundation, as he
had not interfered in the matter in any way.
Lord BROUGHAM said he would say nothing about
" adventurers," and that sort of thing, as he thought that
General Garibaldi was worthy of being ranked with all the
other potentates of the world. (Hear, hear.) He thought
that 999 persons out of every 1,000 heartily wished the
gallant general success.

The Earl of ELLENBOROUGII had no doubt of the
manner that Minister referred to would be received here.
lie did not think a braver or better man could be repre-
sented by any person. (Cheers.)
The Marquis of NORMANBY said he would say no-
thing about Garibaldi not being a good man, but it was
the duty of every person to make himself well
acquainted with the proceedings that had taken
place during the disturbances in Sicily. The published
accounts showed that persons, at all events under the con-
trol of Garibaldi, had committed atrocities of the most re-
volting kind, and many of the police had been murdered,
and women burnt alive. Atrocities had been committed by
both parties, and no doubt the accounts that had been re-
ceived had been very much exaggerated.
Lord WODEHOUSE said he thought it was but due to
General Garibaldi to state that, from information received

officially by the Government, Garibaldi was represented as
a most humane man—(hear, hear)—and as being desirous
in every way of preventing the recurrence of any of those
atrocities that had teen referred to.
THE ITALIAN PAPERS.

Lord WODEHOUSE then laid on the table of the
house the papers he had promised on Monday last relative
to Italian affairs.
NICARAGUA.

The Earl of MALMESBURY asked the noble lord
whether he could give him any information as to what had
become of the treaty entered into with Nicaragua.
Lord WODEHOUSE, who was nearly inaudible, was
understood to say that the Government had not yet re-
ceived official intelligence of its ratification.
After some further conversation the subject was allowed
to drop.
