THE EARL OF DERBY AND THE CONSCIP-
CLAUSE—Yesterday afternoon the Earl of D°l4)l
received a deputation appointed at a meeting held on tine
day following the conclusion of the York Congress, on
subject of the serious injury to popular education whict-
has resulted from the practice of the Educational DeP3r:
mont of. the Privy Council in making the Conscience
a condition of building grants. The deputation origin' T,
appointed consisted of the Hon. and Very Rev. the pelt;
of York, Archdeacons Denison andChurton, Canon Trevor.
Mr. J. G. Hubbard, M.P., Mr. Beresford Hope, M.Pe
Lowther, M.P., Mr. Powell, M.P., and Colonel Alcrui-;
M.P., with power to add to their number. Of these s° lie
ral were unable to be present. Mr. Hubbard, M.P., IV 0
introduced the deputation, read letters of apology
the Dean of York and others, and stated that the Arc
bishop of Canterbury, the Duke of Marlborough, ;\'`l-1..
Beauchamp, and others were prevented attending-
Hubbard then read what Lord Derby called an obsto`.i,
of his speech at York ; and Mr. Beresford 110P° ofil,o
lowed, urging the importance, if possible, of 500
friendly arrangement being arrived at between of
church and the Government. The Archdeacon

Taunton insisted on two points—first, that the „a
science clause was the first religious difficulty oat Pot
arisen between the Privy Council and the church' D,
secondly, that Parliament had never sanctioned the °to
noxious clause. The Revs. A. Wilson (secretor,' °low,
National Society), Dr. Irons, R. Gregory, Mr. Wr. 3131t1ge
Dr. Biber, and others having spoken, Lord Derby' s3i ado
had listened with great attention to the stateniehtsfularod
on this most important and difficult subject. Ile „`eroityr
the discussion had rather shown the extent of the diu- tuo
than the means of meeting it. Having observed 00 docl
two classes of objectors to the clause—those who conteoo lal
that every doctrine of the Church should be taughtt
the children, and those who would without compulsion

mit Dissenters—his lordship guarded against the 05-7bovt
operation of the clause being exaggerated, and ask° et, in
the question of the minority of Dissenters was to be %job,
Parliament. He should like to know any Pl3O 11 wrid the
as Mr. Hope suggested, the views of the Church 37 jog
Privy Council could be brought into fuller Accord. .".rioas
conversation ensued between his lordship and
clearly
members, in the course of which it having beeav ould

shown that the principle of the conscience clacon-

not sanctioned by Parliament. The deputat
