LONDON, FRIDAY, JUNE 5, 1868.

Those who hoped that the brief period of rest
caused by the Whitsuntide holidays would have
calmed down the angry feelings of the members of
the House of Commons have been doomed to disap-
pointment, for no sooner did the House reassemble
than a very angry personal discussion took place on
the " old, old story" of the Irish Church. Mr.
GLADSTONE'S letter on the subject of the East
Worcestershire election gave rise to the comments,
and considerable amusement was caused by Mr.
DISRAELI'S declaring that the production could not
be that of the right hon. gentleman, that it was a
gross " caricature" of Mr. GLADSTONE'S severe
style, and that nothing but an election excitement
could have justified the assertions made in it. Mr.
GLADSTONE, however, took an early opportunity
of saying that Sir T. BATESON had fallen into
no trap, for he was the writer of the letter re-
ferred to. Whereupon he entered into an elaborate
explanation of the letter, which he read_ to the
House. Perhaps the easiest way of considering
the matter would be to say that the letter had better
not have been written at all ; it had one object,
that he who runs may read, to damage the Govern-
ment, and to influence the election in favour of their
opponents. It is thought, whether right or not,
by the friends and supporters of rival candidates,
that everything is fair in election times, but the
sooner they resort to just means, and give up thus
interfering in the matter the better. It is quite
beneath the dignity of a man in Mr.. GLADSTONE'S
position to be aiding and abetting the struggles of
electioneering agents, and what remarks be had to
pass on the policy of the Government had better be
reserved for the House of Commons ; at any rate no
new light was thrown on the affair by all the efforts
of the Opposition Leader, and the whole thing fur-
nished another proof of the way the time of the
House is wasted by the persistency of the Oppo-
sition to make political capital out of the veriest
trifle. The primary part of this letter was to
charge the Government with an attempt to endow
a Roman Catholic University in Ireland. Mr.
DISRAELI, in alluding to the matter, said that
be would not " cloud his meaning in so many
phrases" as others had done, and proceeded to
give a brief but satisfactory explanation of the
matter. Reference was made to a letter by Lord
DERBY on the subject of the I?egiuni Donuni ; but, as
the Premier showed, he was in no way responsible
for the letter of the noble earl, and had stated
this year that no increase could be made in it ;
concluding by declaring that these were " frivo-
lous charges, the worth of which is properly ap-
preciated by the country." We cannot say that
the affair of this letter reflects much credit on the
writer of it, but he has done so much this year
alrea ly to show his eager desire to oust the pre-
sent Alinistryithat perhaps nein° lk,r3 a right to
be surprised now at fresh instances appearing of
his settled purpose.

Mr. CHILDERS asked the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer sonic questions relating to the impending
dissolution. lie wished to know for how

many months the estimates were to be
taken, which yet remained to bo told.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER complained
with justice that he ought to have hal " due
notice " of such a question. It is impossible to form
an opinion as yet of the precise period at which the
Dissolution can take place, with the Scotch and
Irish Reform Bills in their present state, and the
Boundary Bill not settled. The CHANCELLOR of the
EXCHEQUER protested against the constant pressure
put upon the Government about the Dissolution,
declaring that it was perfectly unnecessary, since uo
one was more anxious than they were to bring it
about. However, nothing can satisfy some peoplee,
and Mr. CAVE asked when the Orders of Supply
would be taken ; to which the appropriate
answer was returned, there being no resolutions
passed as yet, it was impossible to say when
they would be reported. Mr. CHILDERS again made
some remarks, and desired to know if on Monday
the number of months could be stated. It is really
quite preposterous to go on after this fashion, and
it is quite certain that if the Ministry were not

hampered by so many questions they would be able

to push on the business of the House much more

expeditiously than they possibly can at present ;
and, after all, what does a month's delay signify in
an affair like a dissolution ? But it suits party
purposes to make much ado about nothing, and to
keep up a guerilla warfare on the slightest matter.

The discussion on the Education Vote last night
was not without interest. Several matters of de-
tail were brought up and discussed, and some points
of importance considered. Lord ROBERT MON-
TAGU, in explaining the reduction of the vote for
the purposes of public education in Great Britain,
showed that the estimates had originally been based
on the supposition that the Education Bill in the
Upper House would become law, whereas, as we
know, the force of circumstances has compelled
the Government to withdraw it. A diminution of
£B,OOO is due to the refusal of the Congrega-
tionalists to receive State aid when the question of
religious teaching was involved. They admit the
necessity of giving religious instruction, but object
to the State attaching any conditions to their
grant. For a similar reason the vote of £1,200 for
the Homerton College is struck off, and there is a
reduction of £15,000 allowed for building purposes
—a wise alteration, by which small schools having
less than 65 attendants, are exempted from the
necessity of having a certificated teacher. By this
clause between £14,000 and £15,000 will be very
wisely saved. Other savings reduce the estimate
from £136,689 to £75,459, though, of course, much
of this reduction is due not to alterationsin the ex-
isting method of administration, but to the with-
drawal of the Government Bill, and the consequent
delay in carrying out certain changes. Some items
show an ;increase upon the estimate. Thus it
is propos,2d to give the managers of every school
who send up teachers to the training colleges an
allowance of £2O instead of £lO, which will
cause an addition of £6,000. The object of this
