:it the
the Lira House of Lyres. An address was presented in state
to the Throne. The scheme, however, was proceded with,
and that very scheme was the plan now in existence, and in
such successful operation that the house wished it to be
continued. The cry now was that his proposal was an en-
tirely new scheme. His opinion was that his proposal was
only to extend the existing system, and to make it, by ad-
ditional tuitter, more complete. He did not think it would
be advantageous to the cause of education to expose his
plan to defeat by a majority of that house. If thet were
permitted, it could not be brought in for some time by Go-
vernment in the shape of a bill. He thought it, would be
better for the cause of national education not to have a di-
ision on the whole scheme. With respect to the resolu-
tion before the house, it was of great importance that thi
house should affirm or otherwise its desire for extension,
for that must lead to investigation. The right hon. gentle-
man (Mr. Henley) made an objection as to the form, but
that was easily got over. On those grounds he thought it
desirable the house should come to a decision en the reso-
lution, and he should take the sense of the house upon it.
He was certainly disappointed that his whole scheme had
not been more favourably received, but he felt confident
that the people of this country were anxious to seethe na-
tion in possession of a more complete system of national
education.
Viscount PALMERSTON hoped the right hon. gentle•
man (Air. Henley) would waive the amendment, and allow
the house to come to a vote on the resolution of the noble
lord. He thought that course was more consistent with
the importance of the subject.
Mr. HENLEY had no objection to withdraw his amend-
ment (No, no). He had very little feeling one way or other.
The• first resolution of the noble lord was of very little im-
Retance. It rested entirely with the house whether he
should withdraw his amendment or not.
The question was then put, and the committee divided
on Mr. Henley's amendment.

MIDLAND GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY OF
IRELAND.
Mr. BELLE-W.m, ved for a select committee to inquire
into the circumstanc,3s connected with the advance of s
sum of 5')0,00,1. to the Midland Great Western Railway
of Ireland Company, pursuant to the statute 12th and 13th
Viet., c. 62; also into the application, or not, of said sum
of money to the purposes to which it should have been
applied under said statute; also into the allocation of the
tr.ffie profits and expenses since the opening of the line
from Athlone to Galway, with a view to fix the amount of
the repayments to be raised from certain baronies in the
county of Roscommon and from the county of Galway.
Mi. WILSON opposed the motion, upon the ground
that the subject of it was more fitted for the consideration
of a court of law than for investigation in that house.
The motion was then negat ved without a division; and
The house adjourned at half-past one o'clock.
