of the charge for troops in India was unanswered.

the expense was to be borne by the East India Com,

the present year for the debt due to the East la,
Company.

IRISH ESTIMATES.

Mr. C. GRANT moved that the sum of C 24,
be granted for defraying the expenses of the
scant Charter. schools in Ireland. He observed
the charge for these establishments last year
£84,000, making a reduction this year of tlr
He was happy to inform the Committee, that
institutions were at present managed on a mud
ter system than had prevailed some time ago,
that in the course of the last 14 or 15 years,
improvements had been introduced. He conic
say, for those respectable individuals who were
head of the schools, that they were disposed to
ward every plan for improving the system on
the seminaries were conducted, and for reds

the expenditure.
Sir H. PARNELL observed on the great al
of the sums voted for the Irish Charitable Institutions
of various kind's. No less than £200,000 had been
voted for them within the last year. He hoped some
reduction would be made by a more economical Eys-
tern of management.
Sir G. HILL insisted on the great benefit derived
from the Irish Protestant Charter Schools.

Mr. HUME objected entirely to the principle on
which these schools were founded. He thought the
new mode of education, which had been found so
beneficial in England and Scotland, should be ex-
tended to these schools.

Colonel BARRY supported the system pursued is
these schools.

Mr. ABERCROMBY insisted on the propriety of
introducing the improvements in education to the e
schools.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER de.
fended the system of the Chartered Schools.
Lord JOCELYN said, the schools in question had
been productive of the most extensive benefit.
Mr. C. GRANT begged to be understood as not
in any degreopledging himself as to what he misl:t
propose next year with respect to the schools.
The usual sums were voted for the services of the
Charitable Institutions of Ireland. On these several
motions, questions were i.ut and answers given ; but
they produced no debate.
On the Vote for a Grant of £9OOO to defray t'e
expense of publishing Proclamations, &c. in the
Newspai Ms, some opposition was excited. It
objected to, s an improper application of the Pub:,c
Money for the purpose of influencing the Press.
