that House, and few in the country, who did
not acknowledge the importance of the subject involl
in the Bill of the Honourable Member for Oldham. II
would admit the ability with which the Bill was intr?•
dueed, but it must be recollected that the House, .1"
aluwing the first reading, had not recognised the PI,
cip!e upon which it was founded, but grit
pledged itself to consider the merit of it.
the second reading of the Bill, the House was ca;
Qd
upon to adopt the principle and to sanction el' "fi:
therefore felt bound to come forward and record b's
jection to the measure. In the parishes in his imo27:,
ate neighbourhood the children Here educated generti;'
at the expense of the landowners, but in the,
turns to the House with respect to ej;tli,-;
tion in the country, no mention was made ";thee
of the number of scholars, or of the parties who hal the
expense of their education. He mentioned that 11':4,. r

Whim, that the state of education in England fi,e
lamentably deficient, but to show that the 111;0
was not in possession of full information on
subject. In considering the question of educus
don the House would have to be emitin a
not to violate tl.e religious opinions of the public.
iu the second place not to found a system of centralls,,
don in educating the people. The measure now bete",
the House proposed to disregard the religious opielt
of a large sc etion of the community, and in the neh,
place to form a system of centralizatien of the mot °be
jec ionubie ct aracier. There was a strong feeling !Do
country against merely secular education, to the oteWind
of religious teaching combined with secular education, evi
be believed that no Elun. Member in that House Otis
stand up and contradict that assertion. Not only bet
the National Society for Education against the Bil" „b.
the correspondence which had taken place upon th!sh-col
ject by the members of the British and Foreign 0°,,-ed
Society tended to show that that society was 011)110
to the Bill of the Honourable Gentleman; the
looked upon the Bill as an invasion n' sei
right of civil and religious liberty, because it prollo
to abandon the principle that prevailed in the cne,llo.
that religion should form part of every system 01 ie.gi
cation, and thereby set et naught the religious fee
of a large majority of the people of this country. na.
Hon. Gentleman, after making a most searchiag
lysis of the provisions of the Bill, for the purr:
of showing that it was founded upon a falle,e-hi
principle, and upon incorrect details, conclude, 00
moving that it be read a second time this daY

The Earl of ARUNDEL and SURREY seconded - 0
