IMPERIAL PAR LI A DIENT

HOUSE OF LORDS-LAST EVENING.
THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS' BILL.

I Earl STANHOPE introduced this subject, a report of
Which appeared in The Sun of last evening:
Lord CLARENDON thanked Lord Stanhope for again
bringing this matter before the house. He did not wish
to follow him into the question of Greek or Latin verse,
but he had quoted quite enough to show that any educa-
tion confined to Latin and Greek was an -unnatural one,
and that it was a miserable mis-spending of the best years
of a boy's life. These languages were undoubtedly the
basis of a liberal education, but if they were taught on a
better system there woul 1 be abundance of time for studies
wide!' would fit bays better for the practical age in whicli
they lived ; without overtaxing their brains or interfering
with their recreation, they might be much better qualified
than they;now were for the battle of life.

The Duko of MARLBOROUGH thought it was prema-
ture to discuss a bill which was still before the louse of
Commons, furl which they had uadoubtedly takan great
pains to perfect.

Lord LYTTELTON concurred generally in what Lard
Stanhope bad sail, but thought that the responsibility of
inaugurating a change in the present system rested with
the Universities, for till th) Universities rewarded the
study of physical science and tn)d!ra languages with
emoluments as well as honours it would b 3 useless to ex-
wet the chief public schools to devi.tte to any great extmit
from the course now adopted.

Lord STANHOPE then withdrew his motion for copies
of memerials or petitions on the subject, on the assurance
of the Duke of Marlborough that nono such had been re-
ceived. The subject then dropped.
The County Courts Admiralty JurisEction Bill was read
a second time. After a few observations on the Sale of
Poisons and Pharmacy Act Amendment Bill, the Duke of
Marlborough briefly explained its provisi )ns ; but
Lord REDESDALE announced his intention of moving
on the report a most practical clause, to the effect that in
future all potions must be kept in " poison bottles" of
peculiar shape. Fatal mistakes were often made in the
dark, and these would ba avoided in all cases by having a
universal bottle of such peculiar shape and character that
any ono who took bold of it would at once know it was
" the poison bottle."
The bill then passed through committee.

In reply to Lord Tnuno,

Lord MALMESBITRY stated that it was the intention
of Government to give a holiday on Saturday to all in the
Government departments who were Volunteers.

Their lordships adjourned at half-past seven o'clock.

HOUSE OF COMMONS-LAST EVENING.
THE IRISH REFORNI BILL.

On the motion for the house going into committee on
this bill,
The SPEAKER told Mr. Reardon that his motion rela-
tive to a £6 rental franchise was at variance with the
rules of the house, upon which the lion. member at once
withdrew it.

Mr. SA ND FORD moved that the disfranchising schemes
be given up, except so far as Portarlington was concerned,
and that the member taken froai there be givJa t
town.

This appeal was backed by Mr. HENLEY, who, point-
ing to the number of amendments on the paper and the
time of year, urged that unless something of the sort were
done it would bodifficult to get through the business of the
