#Ilous matter that should not IKE 10 uliate
upon it at any length just now IL has always seemed
70 me very great injustice that we make our laws
do not teach them in early youth the way in which they
may avoid the eommitta of those ofIenses Hear hear
respecting the education OF thus country story used TO
pe told OF boy who think 1t was said hved In Derry
ting down snares for the purpose Of catching hares Inc
noy was imprisoned for the ofense, and the Chapa
e prison came to him and inquired what ne had pesh
DONG previously The Chaplain found out that inc pSY
had never heard 0f Jesus Christ of the Bible Inc
boy stated that he had been employed an agricultural
laborer six days in the week. and that the Sunday ne
knowledge Of the Christian religion went the little fellow
was entirely ignorant 10 seems to me to be great IN
Justice that In this country where We have the means of
opening schools, employ all the rigors Of imprisonment
against those who break through the laws and not give
them The knowledge whereby they may be enabled 70
avoid those offences such being the case have always
schools for ALL as William Allen used to say 1t was abb
souey necessary that these schools should be in their
nature secular but they should also he religious. The
religious teaching gwen IN these schools should not how
ever be Of sectaran character Hear hearl IL was
particular form OF doctrine to which their parents were
attached, and which most consistent with their feel
tey ought to be made to know what Christ has taught
and what the Apostles have preached for BY these pre-
duct thr0gh life. Hear hearl. Ladies and gentemen
rustthe schools opened to-day may flourish trnst tnat
tending them may learn much That the INSTRUCTION rece
ed here may benefit them through life and that after nj
ting themselves for those pursuits to which they may Dc
called they may have the time and the Inclination 10 l1r
her improve themselves Applause am 10 PD n
Fmfope In which public Instruction has been provided
for but have in this country what trust we snail
part with. In this country those boys and grs
who receive education in such institutions as thls are
lions and 10 sneak and write without fear Of punishment
what they believe to he true aud good am haPpy ,Ie &
such excellent schools as these established III ths
neghborhood and trust that those who have charge of
them will attend as much TO the health of the children as
those i'm whose charge these children will do all In
their power promote their wellbeng, not alone as
have said with regard 10 their mental cuItue, pu' So
| their health. lApplauscl.
ECCLESIASTICAL TITLES ACT.
The Committee Of the House of Commons appointed TO
inquire INTO workings OF this act-wheh was passed
In is5-haye agreed upon report by the casting vote OF
the chairman.
They decide that il has had the effect Of interfering
seriously with those good relations which had previously
prevocd They think that the act OF 1851 was passed at
period Of considerable excitement ana was lousueu uP
nIsappreEensiOn Of what the ropes DIieI was IN
would seriously affect the rights of the Roman Catholic
community In matters purely spiritual and believe that
Catholic p-elates TO break the law II they properly ds
charge their purely spiritual functions :, .ooa,o,
They therefore recommend that the act De repeaen
and that sanction for legal esr seh
modes Of designation Tor Roman Cain0e sevn SuS a
they do that the repeal Of the act would IN no way enable
any civil temporal precedence authority within the
state or 10 any class Of Her Maesty's subjects
