LONDON, March ~.
In the House of Commons last evening, after
some unimporsant business, the Educational
bill was again taken up.
Vernon Harcourt supported the amendment
suggested by John Bright. viz That the basis
of the bill should be religious equality; without
this its provisions were unjust. He oo)ecteo
to 1elegating sectarian controversy to vestries.
Schools in the rural districts are sure to be
monopolizcd by the Church. Parliament, to
prevent this, should settle the question on
basis of religious equality.
Mr.. Mundea, the member for Sheffield,
spoke in favor OF tne bill, taking the ground
that merely permissiye clauses alone should be
made compulsory.
Mr.. Hoare, the member for Southampton,
demanded the withdrawal of the religious
clause OF the bill.
Mr.. Bright, the member from Manchester,
spoke in favor of tic bill, claiming that it pro-
vided school for every child, and made at
tendance compulsory. The debate was con-
tinued until adjournment, at an early hour
this morning.
Mr. Temple favored the project for religi-
Gus teaching, and Beresford Hope, of Cam
bridge University, thought the plan heathen-
ish.

government with undertaking the religious
sense of the people, and Messrs. Bailey, OF
| Herefordshire, and Fawcett Brighton opposed
the bill on general principles
Mr. Dixie, of Chelsea, favored the Bright
amendment.
Mr.. Gladstone deprecated it as having a ten
dency to sunder the liberal party. He vindi-
Gated the bill in long speech, and eloquently
appealed to both parties to support the meas
ure. He reviewed and analyzed the argu-
ments that had been made against 1t, and
showed that it was an imperial measure,
and that it was non-partisan in its character.
Alter speeches by Mr.. Hardy and others in
support of the bill, Brights amendment was
withdrawn, and the bill was read second
