the 19th and 20th years of her Majesty, concerning the

VI. at Eton.
PACKETS AND TELEGRAPHIC CONTRACTS
COMMITTEE.
Mr. BUTT moved that the select committee on Packets
and Telegraphic Contracts do consist of 21 members ; that
Sir Edward Grogan and Lord J. Browne be added to the
committee. There were now only 10 Irish members on the
committee, and that was not a sufficient representation of
their interests. (Hear.). The real origin of the committee
was to inquire into the circumstances under which the late
Government granted a subsidy to promote communication
between Ireland and America, and therefore the Irish mem-
bers were entitled to a fair representation in it.
The SPEAKER having put the question that the com-
mittee do consist of 21 members,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER regretted
he could not assent to the motion; there was no jealousy on
the part of the Government ; the subject of the Galway con-
tract was indeed a part of the inquiry, but even if that con-
tract had never been made the general question must have
been inquired into by a committee. The proposal now made
was one to send into the committee a number of gentlemen
pledged to support the Galway contract. (No, no.) Could
there be a doubt of it? There were already on the committee
four gentlemen who had been parties to the contract, and
of course with a distinct conviction ready to support their
policy. The public of England and Scotland would
look with jealousy on any addition to the com-
mittee of gentlemen with fixed and declared opi-
nions on the subject. If they tampered any
further with the constitution of the committee they would
shake public confidence in it. There was a direct objection
to one name proposed (Lord J. Browne), as the rule
adopted in the selection of the other names had been to ex-
clude any member having a local interest.
Lord J. B ROWNE said he was not aware it was intended
to propose his name. He admitted he was as much preju-
diced one way as the hon. member for Montrose the other,
and if they were both on the committee the fairest thing
they could do would be to pair off. He begged to say he
had no local connection with Galway.
Colonel DUNNE supported the motion. They did not
want to be governed after the manner of the lonian Islands.
Lord DUNCAN read an extract from a petition pre-
sented by Sir W. Russell, to show that the investigation of
the committee might seriously prejudice the election peti-
tion now pending against the return for Dover, and sug-
gested that the Dover contract should not be inquired into
until the election petition was decided.
Mr. WHITESIDE admitted that the Chancellor of the
Exchequer had been just in placing some of the accused on
the committee, but there were other interests involved in
the inquiry ; why was there no representative of the com-
mercial interests of Ireland on the committee ?
The house then divided—

ENDOWED SCHOOLS BILL.

Mr. DILLWYN ,moved that the select committee on
this bill should consist of 17 members, and that Mr. Long-
field and Mr. Butt be added to the committee. The hon.
member stated that he had applied to several Irish mem •
bers to act on the committee, and all had refused.
Mr. HENNESSY protested against the constitution of
the committee as unfair.
Lord NAAS suggested that the nomination should be
postponed.
After some further conversation, the increase was agreed
to, and the nomination of the committee postponed.
UNIVERSITIES (SCOTLAND) BILL.
Mr. DUNLOP moved that the house resolve itself into
committee to consider a bill to remove doubts as to the ad-
mission to the office of Principal in the Universities of Scot-
land.
Mr. B. COCHRANE moved the adjournment of the debate.
Mr. C. BRUCE objected to the bringing in of the bill at
so late an hour of the night.
The LORD ADVOCATE supported the bill, and ex-
plained that its object was merely to rectify a mistake.
After a few words from Mr. BLAciortritzt in support of
the adjournment,
The house then divided—

The house went into committee.
Leave was given to bring in the bill.
The house adjourned at a quarter to two o'clock.
