ffan from entering for the present on the qucs-
ton OF duty on corn, unless driven to depart
from the course he had prescribed for himself
by f,ctious opposition. He would also seize
that opportunity to state that It was not his in-
teption to adopt and carry out tho the maasure
of franchise reform proposed by Lord John Rus
sell, which he characterized rs an indefinite
plan for uuscttling everything and settling
nothing, and which began by exciting the coun-
try, and finished by dissatisfying it.
Flo had heard indeed that this scheme of
franchise reform was to be combined with one
for enormously improving the education of the
country, though he could not quite see tho cou-
nexi0n between the two subjects; and for this
reason he begged distinctly to state that by edu-
cation he did not mean the mere acquirement
of temporal knowledge or the development of
the intellectual faculties, but that education
which was built on the basis of knowledge
the study of the Scriptures. For tho promo
ton OF such education he rolled with confidence
on tho enlightened exertions of the parochial
clergy of the Established Church.

only the interest but the duty of Government,
which, while it tolerated the religious faith of
| other persuasions, was bound to extend tho in
fuence of the Church Of England and to lend it
every assistance. in dif1using through the land
the knowledge Of divine truth. Tho noble lord
then concluded his speech by declaring that he
had undertaken the task of governing the coun-
try trusting to the blessing and guidance of
Providence, and that no should have attained
the highest object of his ambition ifle advanced
in the slightest degree the great objects of
'peaeo on earth and good will among men," and
ii he contributed to tho ''salety honor, and well
fare of our Sovereign and her dominions'
Earl Grey would not attempt to enter at length
on tho various topics discussed by Lord Derby,
but he could not help entering his protest against
the differences drawn by the noble earl from "a
comparison between the American tariff aud

food of the country was contemplated by the
