had resigned their seats at the board. He thought some
distinct rule ought to be laid down with respect to the
management of these schools, so that the public should
know upon what footing they stood. At present they were
principally made use of for spreading the doctrines of the
Roman Catholic Church, and he thought rather than they
should he made such use of, they ought to be separated
from religion altogether.
The Earl of ABERDEEN defended the existing mode of
management, and contended that the best system of com-
bined secular and religious education, as practised in the
National Schools of Ireland, were the books in use, which
could be read either by Roman Catholics or Protestants.
Nothing had proved such a blessing to the people of
Ireland as this Natioual System of Education, and
he hoped that everything would be done to foster
and encourage it. With regard to the motion, there would
be no objection to produce the resolutions, while he hoped
that matters would ultimately be so arranged at the
board, that no resignations would be felt necessary.
After a brief discussion, in which the Earl of Harrogate,
Lord Monteagle, and the Earl of Derby took part, the
motion was agreed to. _

The Transportation Bill, the Public-houses (Scotland)
Bill, the Copyholds Bill, and the Land Revenues Bill
passed through committee.

The Colonial Church Regulation Bill, and the Parish
Vestries (No. 2) Bill, were read a second time.

The Taxing Officers' Common Law (Ireland) Bill wag
read a third time and passed.
The house adjourned at a quarter past nine.

In reply to Sir J. WALNISLEY,
Lord J. RtissELL stated the circumstances under which
a Hungarian refugee, named Costa, had recently been
seized by the Austrian Consul at Smyrna ; but he added,
that government had no information as to any alleged
intention on the part of the Austrian government to
demand the expulsion of all Hungarian refugees from
Turkey.

Mr. BRIGHT moved for a select committee to inquire
into the allegations of a petition of certain electors of
Peterborough, complaining of the interference of Earl
Fitzwilliam, a peer of the realm, at the election in Decem•
her last, and at previous elections of members to serve in
parliament for that city.
Mr. FITZWILLIAM seconded the motion, as a duty he
owed to Lord Fitzwilliam's character.

Tax Bill,

ration for gentlemen opposite.

divided—For the clause, 112; against it, 77: majority, 35.
