TRACTARIAN INSPECTORS OF
SCHOOLS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sia—The Ministry, through a subservient majority,
have succeeded in throwing out Mr. Fox Maule s Bill.
The Scotch Universities are still to be branded with,
religion tests. It matters little, perhaps, to the Free
Independent Church of Scotland ; but it may prove
fatal to the Established Church—the Church of the
minority.
While the Ministry impose this stigma upon Scot..
land, what, I ask, ought to be the feelings of Engla-dd,
when it knows that open and avowed Tractarivls of:
the Oxford school have been appointed to watch o per
direct, and guide the education of the fourth 'of the
country ? I refer to the Gazette of the 19th cif Apra

chequer, the payments by the Bank of England, and the
balance remaining to the account of the Exchequer at

amounted to the sum of 77,024,0041. ; that there re-
mained a balance of income in the Bank of England on
