COMPULSORY EDUCATION.

Mr. FAwcErr asked the Secretary of State for the
Home Department whether it was his intention to intro-
duce any compulsory educational clauses in the bill for
regulating the hours of labour.in workshops?
Mr. WALPOLE said it was his intention when the bill
was in committee to introduce certain educational clauses,
but he thought the proper time to state the effect of them
was when the matter was being discussed.
THE GRAND DUCHY OF LUXEMBOURG.

An HON. MEMBER asked whether the Government had
received any official information with respect to the re-
ported sale. of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg to
Franco?

Lord STANLEY said he must first give notice of his
intention to put the question.

THE REFORM BILL.

Mr. GLADSTONE said he had a question to ask, but
as he had not given notice of it he should not press for an
answer at that moment. It was whether the Government
intended'to make any re-arrangement of the provisions of
the bill now before the House before they went into com-
mittee on the bill, and also whether there would be any ob-
jection to lay on the table certain documents relative to the
taxing franchises.
No answer was given by the chancellor of the Exche-
quer, and the question was then placed on the paper for
Monday next.

THE NATIONAL GALLERY.
Mr. GOLDSMID called attention to the competition
for the new National Gallery, and to the papers on the sub-
ject which had been laid before the house, and moved for
a copy of any further correspondence with the architects
and the First Commissioner of Works.

Mr. GREGORY, in referring to the competition that
had taken place in the preparation of the plans for a new
National Gallery, said the failure of the competition was
entirely owing to want of proper instructions.
Mr. COWPER defended the courso that had been
adopted, and said it was the most judicious that could have
been pursued, especially as it was not known oven at the
present time the exact number of rooms that would be re-
quired. If instructions had, been given limiting the ar-
chitects to a certain number of rooms of certain dimen-
sions, then, indeed, thero might have been some cause for
saying that the architects were to a certain extent
fettered in the preparation of their places. At the time
instructions were given the number of pictures to be ex-
hibited could not be stated, because it was desirable to
provide for the futuro as well as the present. He could
not think that the competition had been a
failur,e because a number of very valuable sug-
gestions have been made ; and although the
was not one amongst the designs that was altogether
satisfactory, yet materials had been givon which he
thought would enable a building to be prepared which
would meet all the requirements demanded.
Mr. B. HOPE defended the decision of the judges in
not recommending any ono of the designs submitted to
them to be carried into effect.
