IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT
(THIS EVENING.)

HOUSE OF
.LORDS.
Ihe LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Wool;ack
shortly after Five o'clock.
SCHOOLMASTERS OF SCOTLAND.
Lord CAMPI3ELL presented a petition from the school-
masters of Scotland, praying for the provision of dwelling_
houses.

Lord KEN YON asked why the country did not provide for
i.s own schoolmasters?

Lord CAAWBEL L said that in every petition which had
been presented to the }louse this provision had been expressly
requested. The schoolmaster at present had what was called
a " butt.end," which consisted only of two small rooms. He
could tell the Noble Lord that these respectable individuals
were accomplished in every branch of learning, and that if he had
derived his education from one of them, he would have found
that their skill in communicating it would have rendered him
as accomplished as he now was, and he thought the Noble Lord
might have spared his jeers.
Lord KEN YON protested that he only asked a question, and
that he had no the slightest disposition in the world to ex-
press the least disrespect for the b sdy of individuals from whom
the petit:on emanated.

Noble Friend the First Lord of the Admiralty was
still indisposed, end unable at present to attend in
his place, he thought it would be unfair to bring forward

proposed to bring it forward after the holidays, but at any
rate be begged to withdraw it for the present..
