MPERIAL PAP LIA MENT

(THIS DAY.)

- -
HOUSE OF COMMONS.
The SPEAKER took the Chair at One o'clock.
RAILWAYS BILL.
Mr., GLADSTONE moved that the Committee on
this Bill be 'postponed until Thursday next, as he had
been in communication with several of the leading rail.
way companies of the country, and it was his intention
to propose certain amendments founded upon sugges•
-dons which had been made to him at these interviews.
Mr. WAKLEY thought the Right Hon. Gentleman
ought to put the House in possession of these amend-
ments at once. It was of the utmost importance thatthe
House should know what the Goiernment intended to
introduce into this Bill. This was a very serious ques-
tion, and he tholight it ought to be :opposed in every
way ' the House would admit of. He believed that
this was one of the most dangerous measures ever intro-
duced into Parliament, with reference to the power to be
given to the Ekecutive Government of the country, and
he should feel it his duty to give it every opposition in
his power.
Mr. ENTWISLE'said it was his intention, in Com-
mittee on this Bill,' to move that the tax on third-class
passengers on railways be abolished.
In answer to a question from Sir G. HEATHCOTE,
Mr. GLADSTONE said it was not the intention of
the-framers of this Bill to call for any decision on the
part of Parliament as to the po.licy of future intervention,
either in the form of a revision, purchase, or in tiny
other form that Might arise out of the provisions of
this Bill. That was the first great object the Govern-
ment had in view. The second great 'object was, that
no intervention on. the part of .the Government should
take place, except for some great national purpose, and
on a national scale.
After a few , words from Mr. HAWES and Mr.
WALLACE,
The Committee on the Bill was postponed until Thurs-
day next.
The report of the Protection of Purchasers (Ireland)
Bill was brought up and received.
The Soap Allowance Bill went through Committee.
POOR-LAW AMEND.MENT BILL.
On the Order of -the Day being read for going into
Committee on this Bill,
Mr. HA WETS complained that the House had ap-
pointed to meet that day for the purpose of going into
Committee on the Railways Bill, and Hon. Members had
come down prepared to discuss it.—(Hear, hear.) Now,
the Right Hon. Baronet (Sir J. Graham) invited them
to the consideration of the poor law. He pro-
tested against this way of doing business,' and though
it was far from his wish to throw any obstruction in the
course of the Government, be gave notice that on a
future occasion, should a like proceeding be attempted.
he would take the sense of the House upon it.—(Hear.)
Mr. WAItLEY wished to call the attention of the
/Rinse to the 11th clause of the Poor-law Bill, which
provided for the management and control of parish ap-
prentices. He had, to his great astonishment, found out
that these pauper apprentices were often bound for a
period of twelve years, and that, during that period, they
were never visited by the parish authorities at all. In
his opinion, they ought to be regularly visited and exa-
mined, and this apart from their masters and mistresses.
lle thought the' GovernMent ought to confer some new
powers on the Commissioners with respect to this
subject

Sir J. GRAHAM said he was most anxious to secure
sufficient powers to the Commissioners for the guardian-
ship of the apprentices. It would be seen, by the present
Bill, that the Commissioners were invested with con-
siderable powers ; they were authorised to prescribe the
terms and provisions of the indentures, and to take care
that they should be properly, executed.
The 1-touse then went into Committee, Mr. GREENA
in the chair.

On clause 35 being put,
Col. WOOD complained of the deficiently of school.
rooms in different poor-law unions. Parishes had been
called on to expend a large sum in schools, and now
unions wore to be called on .to erect district schools.
The poor would not permit their children to be removed
from them, and the schools would- be entirely left to
orphans and deserted children. He objected to concen-
tration of children in district schools, notwithstanding
the instance of the good management of the Norwood
school. He preferred schools where the children were
kept in connection with their parents. He begged the
Right Hon. Gentleman to postpone this proposition to
another year.
Mr. COWPER hoped the, Right Hon. Gentleman
would not consent to postpone this question.—(Hear,
hear.) He conceived that it was impossible to have good ,
schools unless they had large ones. The success of the
.experiment at Norwood had removed all doubt as to the
proper course to be pursued... The only defect in the
clause arose from the want of provision for adequate
isspection, and he hoped that that defect would be reme-
died. He believed the Gallant Colonel could not find
a single good workhouse school in the country ; at least
