with respect to the schools a►t Greenwich, was intr rducirg
new masters, and allowing the old ones to remain. Arrange-
nr nts were now in progress to appoint two new masters, the
eff'•ct of Which, it_ was' hoped, ..could be to restore that
unanimity among the masters which he
,Was sorry
to say bad not prevailed latterly. The Admiralty.
proposed to have. a regular annual inspection, and that
a Report should be laid every, year on the table of the
House. But they did not vvish that the appointment of the
inspectorskahould be left to the Committee of the Privy COuncil
of Education, as they did not think it advisable that, the school
should become a civil' instead of a.naval establishment.
Sir C. NAPIER did
,not approve of the present practice of
allowing the sons of merchant seamen to share in the advan-
tages of Greenwich school. It seemed to him to be but fair
that al t'oys brought up at the school shoat be required to
serve her Majesty as a return for the, ex; enses of the education
they had recei ed.. He thougt.t it, was a great improvement
that the boys at the school were now taught the. art of rowing,
and that they were nut as formerly left without any instruction
which would qualify them fur the profession, for which they
were destined. He saw no objection to leavinz the super-
intendence of the schced to the Committee on Elation. He
believed that the Members of the Cornvnittee were the parties
who, from the nature of their effice, would be best qualified to
und,rtake the -.superintendence of any establishment for the
education of youth.
Alr. PARKER thought it was more satisfactory that the
Report should be made to the Admiralty, than to the Privy
Council.
Mr. TUFNELL wanted to know how many inspections
there should be ?

31r. S. HERBERT said that there would be freqUent in-
spections, and but one Report.
After a few w 4 rds from Mr. CHILDKRS and Mr. NYSE,

Sir R. PEEL said that he thought the House should bear in
mind that it was desirable not to break altogether the con-
oexion of the schools with the Admiralty. At the same
time, it was most desirable that that connexion
should not interfere with the proper inspection of the
system of education pursued in the schools. There were
two schools ; anti in one of them the education was very ana-
logous to that adopted by the schools under the control of the
Privy Council. It was proposed to allow the schools to be
under the inspection of the inspectors appointed by the Privy
Council ; and by permitting those inspectors to act immediately
under the Board of Admiralty, there would be no ground for
jealousy on the part of the Board of Admiralty. All that was
desired was to obtain as much advantage as possible from the
schools.

Mr. COWPER replied, and (as we understood) expressed
his desire to withdraw his motion. •
DONEGAL GRAND JURY.

The motion was then by leave withdrawn.
Viscount CLEMENTS then rose, pursuant to notice, to
move for a Select Committee to inquire into the administra-
tion of the Grand Jwy laws in the county of Donegal. The
Noble Lord proceeded to complain of the violation of the Grand
Jury laws generally—not so much oa the part of the Grand
Jury as on the part of the officers appointed by them,
and then entered into a statement of the mode in which the
business of the county was transacted by the Grand Jury.
He did not blame the Hon. and Gallant Member opposite
(Colonel Conolly) for the malpractices which had taken place,
blt he ought to have taken care that they were not
committed. He had also to complain of the inaccurate
manner in which the accounts were kept. He wished
to know what her Majesty's Government was inclinkl
to do in this matter. He should prefer a commis=ion
to inquire into the abuses which had taken place, for the
frauds which had
,occurred were only to he equalled by the
EXchequer•bill fraud.—( Roars of laughter.) He should there-
fore move for a Sekct Committee to inquire into the adminis-
tration of the Grand .lury laws in the county of 'Donegal.
Mr. M. J. O'CON NELL seconded the motion.

Colonel CONOLLY said the Noble Lord had indulvd in
the most daring and singular representations he had ever heard
in that House. The Noble Lord bad acted under' the most
perfect ignorance of those acts which he had so unsparingly
denounced. lie (Col. Conolty) had been connected with the
Grand Jury of Donegal for many years, and he knew the sub-
ject well. The Hon. and Gallant Member then pro:eeded to
deny that he had at any time improperly exercised his influence
among the Grand Jurors of Donegal. lie felt indignant at
any attempt to cast censnre• on the conduct (lithe Grand Jury
as a body, for which, after long ext erienee, he felt the highest
respect. He regretted very much that the Noble Lord should
indulge in reprobating acts of which he could know but very
little.

Sir E. HAY ES slid, that after the statement of his Hon.
and Gallant Colleague, it was not necessary for him to do more
that confirm that statement.

Lord CLEM EN IS, in explanation, deni.td having attacked
the Grand Jury. He guarded himself cautiously from doing so.
Mr. LITTON said that he considered nine-tenths of the
speech of the Noble Lord was made up of attacks upon the
Grand Jury. He was in the habit of going for many years to
Donegal in his professional capacity, and he could bear testi-
mony to the excellence of the character of the gentlemen com-
posing the Grand Jury of the county of Donegal.—(Hear.)
He hoped the motion would be rejected by the House.
Sir 'W. SOMER VILLE bore testimony to the honour and
integrity of the gentlemen of the Grand Jury of Donegal ; at the
same time it was manifest that gross irregularity had taken
place • and if the motion were pressed to a divisi,n he should
vote /or it, without at the same time meaning thereby to cast
,any imputation upon the Grand Jury.
Lord ELIOT opposed the motion. He thought that a sa-
tisfactory answer had been given to the charges of the Noble
Lord. Gross irregularity had been scommitted by some of the
officers, but these officers had been punished by the Grand Jury.
Mr. F. SHAW thought that the Noble Lord was not justi-
fied in the charges which he had brought forward.
Mr. M. J. O'CONNELL thought that it was a serious case,
and required investigation. The Government ought to send a
person over to the spot, to investigate into the circumstances.
He thought the Noble Lord had better withdraw his motion ;
but if it were pressed to a division, he should vote for it.
Mr. Sergeant JACKSON thought no ground had been made
out for inquiry, and he trusted the House would negative the
motion.

Sir R. FERGUSSON thought it would be impossible to
Conduct any inquiry, except on the spot. He should oppose
the motion.

Mr. BROTHERTON moved that the House do adjourn,
but subsequently withdrew his motion.
Lord CLEMENTS replied—lf the Government resisted
that motion, he should not let the subject rest. there.
Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, but no division
took place, the motion being negatived without a division.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL fin- Ireland obtained leave
to bring in a Bill for consolidating the Four Courts Marshalsca,
Dub:in, Sheriffs' Pri•on, Dublin, and City Marshalsea, Dublin,
and for regulating the Four Courts Marshalsea in Ireland.
Lord STANLEY gave notice that he shOuld move, on
Monday 'next, that the House resolve itself into a Committee of
the whole House, to take into consideration certain resolutions
relative to Australia.

' Mr. 1- E' ARAND moved—That there be immediately laid
on the table of this Howe, a copy of the Report addressed to
the Poor-law Commissioners, and unanimously agreed to at an
extraordinary meeting of the Board of Guardians of the
Keighley union, in the West Riding of Yorkshire, on Monday
last, the .27th inst., and which was convened for the purpose of
taking into consideration, and replying' to certain allegations
made against the said board in the Reports of the Assistant
Poor-law Commissioners, Mr. Mott and Sir John Wahlu,m,
and which Reports have already been printed by order of this
Hou.e.—Ordered. _ _ .

The other Oreers of the Day were then disposed of and the
Howe adjourned at a Quarter to Two o'Clock.
