now had, and such, he believed, was contemplated
[ by the measure which was now more or less before
the House of Commons, and which he hoped, would
have in view the exercise of greater liberality on
the subject of education than had hitherto been
exercised. They had no great reason to find fault
with the administration of affairs under the Privy
Council, taking them in 'general ; but the Privy
Council could not do impossibilities. If they
wanted efficiently to assist the education of the
country, they must ask the members of the House
of Commons to place into the hands of Govern-
ment a little more means for that purpose.
It was a perfect disgrace to England to know
that the actual amount now given to the ele-
mentary education of the country was so
small. He was not speaking of the whole educa-
tional grant, which was under £6OOO, but
he spoke of that portion of it which was given to
the lower-class schools, and xi hich was not quite
£400,000. While we were expending between 40
and 50 millions upon our army, and between two
and three millions upon our prisons, we were only
spending about one tenth the latter amount in the
education of the people. When he spoke of the
question of means he spoke of it very feelingly, be-
cause there was nobody in the country who had
such a mass of poor to educate as the Catholic
Church. They had by far the largest proportion
of poor amongst their numbers, and therefore the
difficulty which they experienced in deriving in any
way advantages from the Government grant came
with double pressure. First of all they had to com-
ply with the same conditions that had to be com-
plied with by the body which was so much richer
than themselves; and, secondly, they bad to incur
expense out of their own slender means, and
make sacrifices far greater than they ought
to do. It was lamentable, on looking
into the returns, to see what the numbers
were of those who were uneducated. There
were more than one-third of the poor children of
the country who were receiving no education at all.
He was applied to a short time ago by one of the
large national societies to furnish them with statis-
tics of the Catholiz education in Cheshire. When
the question of education was before the House of
Commons the other day Cheshire was spoken of as
a county in which there was more education in pro-
portion than in any other county in England, and
it would be a satisfaction to those whom be was ad-
dressing to know that they (the Catholics) had a
right to share in that distinction. According to the
calculations made by Government there should be
about one in seven attending school, but he was
enabled to say that of the Catholic children in
Cheshire there were rather more than one-sixth at-
tending or upon the books. (Cheers.)

NAVAL AND MILITARY IN7ELLIGENCE.

Detachments of the various corps comprising the
3d Depot Battalion at Chatham, to the number of
about 100 men of all ranks, have proceeded from
the garrison to the Government rifle range at

Milton, for the purpose of undergoing a course of
instruction in ball practice with the Snider breech-

Loading rifle, previously to embarking for foreign

service.

The head-quarters and one squadron of the 15th
Hussars left Norwich for York on Tuesday. A
dismounted party will proceed by railway from
Norwich to York on the 24th inst. Capt. Norton,
15th Hussars, has received orders to proceed from
Norwich to Birmingham to join his troop, on pro-
motion.

Ensign Maclean, Ist battalion 16th Regiment,
and Lieut. Sawyer, 100th Regiment. are held in
readiness to proceed from Colchester to Canada to
join the service companies of their respective corps.
Three officers and 17 men of the 4th and Bth Depot

Assistant-Surgeon Jennings has left Colchester for
duty in the Mauritius. Staff Assistant-Surgeon
Gallwey has been gazetted assistant-surgeon to the
41st Regiment, and is under orders to join his corps
in India.

Her Majesty's Indian screw transport Crocodile,
Capt. Watson, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday
morning from Alexandria and Malta, and disem-
barked passengers and troops during the day at the
transport jetty of the dockyard. Gibraltar was
passed at noon on Good Friday. From Cape Finis-
terre to the Channel strong N.E. winds were experi-
enced. The Crocodile will undergo a thorough
overhaul and repair to hull and machinery before
entering upon another voyage.
An order has been received at the head-quarters
of the Royal Engineer establishment, Chatham, an-
nouncing that, in addition to the non-commissioned
officers and sappers who have already volunteered
for the Public Works in India, 30 more skilled
mechanics, draughtsmen, and men of other profes-
sions are required to complete the number of Royal
Engineers to be attached to the department. The
non-commissioned officers and sappers who have
volunteered for the companies employed on the
survey duties are despatched from head-quarters
by parties of 20, the total number of volunteers re-
quired to augment the four survey companies being
120.

The screw frigate Bristol, 31, 600 horse-power,
Capt. F. W. Wilson, which has been for some time
in the shipwrights' hands prepating for a cadet
training-ship, has been removed out of dock into
the Medway, where she is being completed in her
outfit. She will shortly be ready to take her first
cruise, and will proceed, it is understood, in the first
instance to the Mediterranean.

THE SYDENHAM MURDER.—A petition, signed
by the mother of the convict, Richard Bishop, who was
tried and found guilty of the wilful murder of Alfred
Cartwright, at Sydenham, on the night of the 2d instant,
has been forwarded to the Home Secretary. It stated that,
for some time previous to the murder, the prisoner had
exhibited signs which would lead to the idea that he was
at times demented, and it further urged that the crime was
perpetrated, the man tried, and sentenced within six days.
It also urged that some eminent medical man should bo
appointed to inquire into the state of the prisoner's mind
before the sentence of the law should be carried out.

DIGGING MACHINE. —A powerful digging ma-
chine is now in operation in New Jersey, which is said to
be achieving wonders. It is run by steam, and is located
in the marl beds of Monmouth county. It is at work ex-
cavating a canal 15 or 20 feet deep, and 75 or 100 feet
wide, taking up a ton of marl a minute and depositing it
in cars running on rails laid beside the canal, to be con-
veyed miles away to the doors of the farmers in that part
of New Jersey.
[ADVERTISEMENT. Holloway's Ointment. --Scald
Head, Sore Breasts, Inflamed Niples.—There is no medical
pr.paration in the world which may be so thoroughly de-
pended on in the treatment of the above ailments as Hol-
loway's invaluable ointment, and scarcely a day passes in
which authentic testimony to its extraordinary efficacy
are not received from all parts of the globe. Nothing can
be simple or more safe than the manner in which it is
applied, or its action on the body, both locally and consti-
tutionally. The ointment rubbed in the part affected
enters the pores just as salt enters meat, and not only gets
rid of the local evil, but penetrates to the source of it, and
drives it from the system.

(FROM an SPECIAL vp4riartie#Ti.y,/o
DU xiN, NEDNOtia/.
Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess OrWales;
with their suite, have arrived, and under the most
auspicious circumstances. A brighter or more beautiful
day never shone on Ireland. Though the morning was
somewhat cloudy, or rather foggy, when the fleet arrived
off Kingstown, so that the crowds who had lined the out-,
side piers were not able to discern them till they had
almost entered the Roads, the sun soon pierced the gloom,
and long before twelve o'clock, the time at which their
Royal Highnesses were to land, shed a brilliant warm
light over the whole exhilarating scene. This splendid
weather I may in a sentence say, once for all, charac
terised the whole day. It was right royal sunshine
throughout. It gladdened every heart, found thankful
expressions on every lip, and had the effect of elevating
the naturally loyal and joyous spirits of the congregated
thousands over the entire line of route to the very highest
pitch of enthusiasm.
The royal yacht was piloted across the Channel by
Captain Wilcox, R.N., Pilot Superintendent of the port of
Dublin, and convoyed by the Minotaur, bearing the flag of
Admiral Warren, C. B. , Captain Goodenough ; the Achilles,
Captain Vansittart ; the Warrior, Captain Boys ; the
Defence, Captain May ; the Helicon despatch boat, Com-
mander Field ; and the Admiraltyyacht Enchantress, Staff-
Commander John E. Petty. The fleet approached much
earlier than was expected ; in fact, they were in Kings-
town Roads by about five o'clock in the morning. The
mass of people, therefore, who had gone down by the first
trains to see them enter the Roads were disappointed.
They had the pleasure, however, as I had, of witnessing
them form in line of battle round the royal yacht, anchor
in the Roads, and at eight o'clock display their bunting—a
sight which, to those not acquainted with naval manoeuvring,
was fascinating in the extreme. I need not attempt
to describe the ironclads as they rested on the bosom of
the capacious Roads, nor need I picture the royal yacht
itself or its tenders as at nine o'clock they glided into the
harbour and took their place about mid-water.
I shall only state here that the Royal George, which has
been inside the harbour since Friday, and which is under
the command of Vice Admiral Buckle, C. 8., commander-
in-chief of the Irish °nista-presented a magnificent appear.
ance. She was most profusely covered with bunting, and,,
next to the Minotaur and the Achilles, the former of which
had her five masts, and the latter her four, with every spar
and arm covered with flags and banners, was the finest
spectacle of the fleet. I may also add that the harbour,
from about eight o'clock till twelve, was alive with
steamers from all parts of the English and Irish coasts,
each carrying crowds of passengers, and all tastefully deco-
rated. They kept moving about the fleet and the royal
yacht and tenders, keeping their decks warm and happy
by occasional hearty cheers.
From about eleven o'clock their Royal Highnesses the.
Prince and Princess began to he seen, by those having
field-glasses and telescopes, promenading the quarter.
deck. They looked extremely gratified at the sight of the
immense concourse which now lined the piers, crowded
around the quays, or were perched upon the top of the
railway station, the buildings in the neighbourhood, and
in fact every spot from which a fair view of the landing
could be obtained. At about a quarter before twelve
the royal yacht lifted anchor, and proceeded, apparently
with some little difficulty, as the tide was low, to make
her approach to the jetty. She did not accomplish her'
object till about a quarter-past twelve, when, reaching the'
landing-place at the exact spot where her Majesty the:
Queen set foot in Ireland on the Gth August, 1849, and the
royal party being by thousands clearly seen, there arose a.
shout of welcome the resonance of which as it was taken
up and carried along the piers and right back into the
town, can never be forgotten by those who heard it. It.
was really most enthusiastic, and as it was followed almost
immediately by a royal salute from the whole fleet, and
the battery of the 9th brigade Royal Artillery, it the east
pier, under the command of Captain William Booth and
Lieutenants Harness and Smith, the effect was indescrib-
ably thrilling and impressive.
As soon as the royal yacht came alongside the jetty, the
Lord-Lieutenant, accompanied by the Earl of Mayo and
the officers of State, proceeded on board, and offered a
welcome to the Prince and Princess. Several prominent
functionaries were then presented to their Royal High-
nesses by the Gentleman Usher, the heads of the
military department being presented to the Duke of
Cambridge by Colonel Fielding, deputy adjutant-gene.
ral, acting on behalf of Lord Straithnairn. During
the few minutes occupied in these introductions thousands
who lined the wharf, as well as the 700 or 800 who held seats
on the platform erected on each side of the landing pavilion,
had a first class view of the royal party. A company of
the Grenadier Guards, I should here state, formed the
guard of honour on the platform, and immediately the
royal feet touched the shore struck up with their
splendid band the National Anthem, following it almost
immediately afterwards by " God bless the Prince of
Wales." The landing pavilion presented an exceedingly
neat and tasteful appearance. Though small, it is delight.
fully pretty in its fantastic decorations of yellow, green,
and white. It was carpeted from end to end with rich
crimson cloth, and at its entrance from the pier and its
exit to the road was decorated with evergreens and
furnished with large vases of greenhouse and exotic plants.
The whole tout ensemble was really very fine, and her
Royal Highness the Princess seemed especially to admire it.
The royal party, accompanied by the Lord-Lieutenant
and the Marchioness of Abercorn, entered their car.
riages, which were in waiting at the southern
outlet of the pavilion, exactly at half - past
twelve o'clock, and, escorted by the Grenadier
Guards and the 10th Hussars, proceeded along the ap.
pointed route to the city. The Lord Mayor of Dublin
and the leading civic functionaries brought up the rest of the
cavalcade, while some fity or sixty thousand loyal citizens,
who had been landed by rail or steamers during the morn-
ing, formed the rear. It was a most exhilarating spectacle,
and the Prince and Princess seemed to enjoy it thoroughly,
the Prince especially, never ceasing to bow his acknow-
ledgments. Throughout the whole seven miles' route the
shouts of the people were of the most enthusiastic
character. They lined each side of the way ; they required
neither military nor royal constabulary to keep them in
order ; and the strength of their voices and the loyalty of
their acclamations testified to the delight with which
they received their royal visitors. The royal
cortege passed up the Forty-foot Road, and then
turned off to the right up the fashionable neighbour.
hood of Salthill and Monkstown, amid thunders of
applause, the waving of bats and hankerchiefs, and other
manifestations of joyous welcome. There, as in Kings.
town, every variety of flag and banner floated from win-
dows or decorated poles erected on prominent spots along
the way. It is more within the role of a reporter to give
you minute details of all the various manifestations of
public feeling on the route. It is enough for me to say
that the Rock-road to Dublin, traversed for the first time
in Irish history by members of the Royal Family,
did no dishonour to the distinction conferred
upon it. The manifestations of loyalty were most
enthusiastic, and the decoration of villas and public build-
ings in many instances most superb. The same statement
holds true as to the entire line of route to the city. At
Blackrock, at Booterstown, at Merrion, at Ball's Bridge,
along the Pembroke-road, through Baggot-street, and
Lower Fitzwilliam-street, the excitement was most in-
' tense. Every inch of ground seemed to be covered. From
windows, balconies, and housetops banners and streamers
floated, and at every turn the royal party were received
with the warmest demonstrations of attachment.
Merrion-square was one blaze of beauty and
fashion at all its windows, so were Nassau-street, aumi
Grafton-street, Sackville.street, and Westmoreland-street,
through which, however, the procession did not pass ; and
College-green and Dame-street, through which it did pass,
to the Castle, eclipsed all the others. The reception and
display in College-green and Dame-street were really
brilliant in the extreme. The students of Trinity College,
in their academic caps and gowns, had their own large
platform in front of the university, and their turn-out was
remarkably fine. The Prince and Princess acknowledged
the lusty cheers with which the students greeted them,
and which they renewed again and again till the royal
cortege passed up the green. In the green and Dame-
street nearly every public edifice and most of the
leading places of business were superbly decorated.
Ten arches formed of flags, banners, and streamers
crossed the streets at about equi-distant parts ; two others
hearing the words " Welcome to Erin" in large white
letters on a green ground and with streamers pendant, and
another, " Welcome, Prince and Princess of Wales," in
large gold letters on a blue, field were extremely aproposce
and pretty. They were speedily recognised by the Prince
and Princess, who seemed to be not a little pleased with
them. It would be impossible for me to give you anything
