THE EARL OF DERBY AND THE CONSCIVSC,!.
CLAUSE—Yesterday afternoon the Earl of Derby
received a deputation appointed at a meeting held on t:e
day following the conclusion of the York Congress, on
subject of the serious injury to popular education bi(; -
C-
has resulted from the practice of the Educational DWI'
ment of the Privy Council in making the Conscience Olnufil
a condition of building grants. The deputation origin 10
appointed consisted of the Hon. and Very Rev. the De
of York, Archdeacons Denison and Churton, Canon T rovv"
Mr. J. G. Hubbard, M.P., Mr. Beresford Hope, ALP"
Lowther, M.P., Mr. Powell, M.P., and Colonel .Alcr°,"
M.P., with power to add to their number. Of these se);
ral were unable to be present. Mr. Hubbard, M.P.,:vn
introduced the deputation, read letters of apolog
the Dean of York and others, and stated that the A-re ri
bishop of Canterbury, the Duke of Marlborough, 11,1(/..
Beauchamp, and others were prevented attending. ,t
Hubbard then read what Lord Derby called an abetrioti..
of his speech at York ; and Mr. Beresford 11°P°
lowed, urging the importance, if possible, of 6-the
friendly arrangement being arrived at between of
church and the Government. The Archdeacon

Taunton insisted on two points—first, that the c,it
science clause was the first religious difficulty that
and,
arisen arisen between the Privy Council and the church'
secondly, that Parliament had never sanctioned the f the
noxious clause. The Revs. A. Wilson (secrete" of,
National Society), Dr. Irons, R. Gregory, Mr. W. 31 3
Dr. Biber, and others having spoken, Lord Derby 63i!,1

on this most important and difficult subject. Il.rA`t.olti
the discussion had rather shown the extent of the the
than the means of meeting it. Raving observed °34oa
two classes of objectors to the clause—those who cent; all
that every doctrine of the Church should be taught

members, in the course of which it having been c.ii.eoaolia
