THAT ADMIRABLE WELSH PERIODICAL, the Haul, for June, contains an excellent article on 14 Patriotism." This was one of the rejected essays at the late Eisteddfod at Cardiff, and we question whether it is much inferior to its successful rival. The public would feel much interested in seeing those prize essays published. to PENNY POSTAGE.-In the House of Commons, on Wednesday last, petitions in favour of au uniform penny postuge were presented by Mr W. A. Williams, from Monmouthshire; and by Mr front Car- marthen. EFFKCTS OT THE ACT fOR THE ABOLITION or IMPIIISONMEN-T YOR DEBT.—At a lock-up house in Fetter-lane ni-y be seen in the window a bill on which is written A second floor to let, unfur- nished," Tite inmates io the Queen's Bench Prison are so few in number, compared with what they used to be, that a whole suite of apartments may be obtained for about half the price formerly paid for a sidgle room, On an empty spun^inff-house in the ,iiiz-houi-e in the neighbourhood of Carey-street there is a hoard on which these words are painted—"To let, or the lease to be sold." OUTKAGE ON THE BRITISH FLAG.—Her Ma- jesty's steam vessel Mede*, Captain Nott, arrived at Bermuda on the 18th of MilY. Off the south coast of Cuba she fell in with a briy, which the commodore suspecting to be a slave vessel, gave orders to follow, firing guns not shotted as signals for her to heave to. A boat was afterwards dispatched to the vessel, which turned out to be a French vessel of war. The commodore of the French vessel requested the Medea to run down to her, which was a form complied with. By some accident the vessels came in collision, and from the French vessel half a dozen shotted guns were simultaneously fired into the bows of the Medea. The commodore did not order the fire to be returned. A boat was then lowered from the Medea, and an officer sent on board the brier to demand the ciuse of their having fired. The French commander,when informed what the Medea was, and who was in her, became very humble and penitent; said he had merely ordered one shot to be fired ahead of the steamer, but, his order being misunderstood, all the £ uns which could be got to bear upon her were discharged. He afterwards came 011 board the Medja, and mude his apologies to the commodore in persou. It is with regret we have to add that one of the Medea's men was 80 severely wounded in the thigh, that immediate amputation of the limb was necessary. Three 36-pound shot struck the vessel, (lawagiilg lier considerably. The name of the French brig was ascertained to be the Griffon, 20 guns, bound from France to Vera Cruz. THE QUEEN DOWAGER SUMMONED Carter the informer summoned her Majesty the Dowager Queen Adelaidefor not having" her name placed on a cart, her Majesty's property, according to the form prescribed by the Act of Parliament. Mr Barton, a gentleman of her Majesty's household, attended to answer the complaint. Carter said he had no t'jiult to find with the words which had been painted on the cart; his objection was that the description, &c., was not clear of the wheel. Mr Chambers, referring to the summons, said the offence charged against her Majesty was, that the Christian and surname were not properly set forth. Now the Act of Parliament specially exempted the nobility, and persons of rank aud title. The summons, therefore, could not be sustained. Carter said he meant no offence, but he should certainly bring the matter forward in another quarter.

They had nothing to say for them- selves, they had no measures to promise, they had no defence of their policy to make; all they uttered was the name of "Queen, Queen, Quueri," dwelling on the feelings of their Royal mistress, the bed- chamber quarrc-l with respect to promotion, and to sum up all in one sentence, which I)1' took fairly and impartially, for it was used by no friend or kinsman of his, but the friend and kinsman of the noble viscount, his private secretary and own nephew- congratulating themselves that Sir R. Peel's forma- tio.) of a government had been defeated by two ladicsof the bedchamber. He knew such feelings wero natural to men and women. He knew that an appeal to sncli feel ings in this country could never be made in vain; but he also knew, aud he felt deeply impressed, though not oppressed in the discharge of Lis public duty, with the conviction, which rendered it trebly difficult for him to discharge that duty, that he in- curred the hazard of giving offence elsewhere-thit was the unfair, the unmanly, part of tho business- sthey were called upon to discuss a grave question of state policy, to argue respecting the govern- ment of the whole realm committed to the care of the Queen, and at the same time they were called upon to discuss it on such terms, upon an issue so taken, that whoever differed or dissented from his noble friend incurred the hazard of being taken to make a personal, and invidious, and offensive opposi- tion to the Sovereign. Knowing his own heart upon this subject, being convinced that no one of her Ilit- jesty's servants, the most devoted to her service, felt more profound veneration for that illustrious princess than he did that no one felt deeper gratitude than he did for those kind acts of condescension which from her and her illustrious family he had uniformly occa- sion, without the slightest interruption for an instant* to receive, and by which he felt honoured and exalted, he knew he could not feel anything which a man ought not at once openly and publicly to avow on that deli- cate and painful topic; and he also knew that there was so much justice, so much kindliness of feeling, so much inflexible candour and integrity swaying the royal bosom, that his motives had no risk of being misconstrued; and that the mean and dastardly at- tempt to mix up thequestion with the private feelings of the Sovereign, of which he did not accuse his noble friends, but many of their supporters out of doors, would, so far as he was concerned, absolutely fail* The attempt would fail in the high quarter towards which on the one hand it was pointed he knew it would fail on the other, it it were meant to deter him, among others, from the discharge of his public and constitutional duty. He eutirely agreed with the noble viscount tnat general avowals of principle made by men possessed of the powers of government were not greatly to bo commended. His noble friend illus- trated the position in his own practice; his avowal was in fact little better than nothing, a mere vague fruitless, useless generality.and might be made by one man just as well as another. Tuere was not a single word in it which he, although differing in some mate- rial points from his noble friend,could not have uttered —not one word which the noble duke, or his noble and learned friend opposite (Lord Lyndiiurst), though ditferingstill more from the noble viscount, could not have re-echoed. What was the noble viscount's pro- fession of his principles? "lama friend," said the noble viscount, "to all progressive improvement;' who ever heard of any one getting up and saying, I am a friend of all retrograde improvement "Then," said his noble friend, ''I am a friend of all safe mea- sures of reformation, if you will only prove them to be such;" would not the lIoble duke say the very same thing? "1 am a fj-iend of all measures of reformation which you can prove useful and safe." Then came the qualification, and each would just add the same quali- fication, which told them absolutely nothing-" I am against giving up my conscientious opinions on im- portant questions in order to conciliate any support." Really h believed anything more safe or more simple than this kind of politcal placebo never was heard of being administered to a deliberative assembly. As regarded the intentions of her Majesty's government in the future conduct of public affairs, his noble friend had left the house and the country precisely as they were. His noble friend had told the house that the empire was surrounded with great (Iifh. culties—diiffculties abroad and difficulties at home difficulties in more colonies than one. On the 7th of May his noble friend hid told their lordships, as he tolll them on the present occasion, that the govern- ment were surrounded with various embarrassments but yet that among the number there were none with which a vigorous government might not hope to contend. From the statement made on that occasion there was no departure in the statement of to-iiigbt, at the same time that bis I ""b 0 frie, t/lP9 that VV0" j.nrnuy inPn Jt and politicians, men I of l'igb author an<1 abroa<1' ,VV,hl! thought that option—that establish in the year I^-night do very well for fair WHthor, bu'lit'on would present a Widely diffon,|fte tempest should beat against its 0utnt was a system ill calcu- iatcd to enrr, t.hrough the hazards and j "angers of f„rcitless to sustain the sia a,n,('st d0lnestic\d least of all to preserve t,,e ^beingoJi.ity aS»'»'st tl,e °f commercial'fjjThose had been stated o the house ns others; he ventured to #uess t-W sou, that might be the opinio, of 'ho noble lord but he (Lord Brougham.

Establish the House of L01 s in ",e confidence ofe nation, to secure to the ordinarily exposod to? It would not do to have her timbers shrinking and her masts straining when the waves were beating against the hnrk of the constitu- tion. He knew not whether his opinions were shared by the great majority of the members of that house, but he feared that he did iiot share tln m with his I noble friend. He inferred, from the ominous silence I with which this remark was received, that the senti- ments which he entertained were Ileld by him not in common with the majority of their lordships, nor were held there by the noble friends with whom he acted in 1S32, when that great change was dr"clcd -whell some, to serve the purposes of the hour, were loud tssenters to that of which they now probably repented, did left him at the present moment the almost solitary supporter of the Reform Bill of five or six years ago. "o steind in that situation was an unpleasing duty, tut it was one which frequent performance had ren- dered familiar—it was unpleasant, but it wasnot lIell. Lwas his lot, on subjects connected with the repre- seitative constitution of the country, to be frequently orlocd hy one party without being supported by the othir. Many who h id failed to support might,before now,have had reason to repent of tint faijure, alld migh yet have still greater reason to repent it. With respect to one part of the statement made to the house 1V his noble friend, it appeared to him that there w<s no answering the remarks he made as to the difficulths with which the empire was assailed both at home .nd abroad. No man could deny that they were difficulties of the most serious kind, and such as no ministry could contend with unless they enjoyod the confideice not only of the Crown but of both houses of pariament. That brought him round to the question of till statement made by his noble friend on the 7th of ,\IA r, that statement in which he told the housc that he hd lost the confidence of tlw other house of parliament—Vaat he had also lost that which in fact he could hnrdU" be said to have lost, having never possessed it—the conifdence of the House of Lords — that lie had also lost thejconfidencc of the country, and that no hope for him lay in any appeal to the na- tion, that he had nothing but the support of the Crown, that he had not the support of the country or of either house of parliament, and that the empire was surrounded with difficulties at home and abroad that was the sum and substance of the noble viscount's address ou the 7tl»' of May. But it appeared that, notwithstanding such a state of affairs, the noble viscount had ventured to resume the government, and thereupon he asked of parliament an adjourn- "ment of 10 or 12 days. Many thought that such a proposition made in the middle of a session, and under the peculiar circumstances in which the public busi ness then stood, was, to say the least, very much out of the ordinary course of events. The usual recess of that period of the Yar only amounted to two days -the birthday made another—three in all; and yet the proposition of her Majesty's government was, that both bouses of parliament should adjourn for nearly a fortnight: that proposition had been acceded to. It might be supposed that the purpose of the pro- posed adjournment WilS to consider the constitution of the administration, or to consider the structure of its policy. It had lost the confidence 0f the country and of parliament so as to make resignation necessary circumstances bad arisen which, in the opinion of his noble friends at least, rendered it their duty to resume the government; and then, when an adjournment of 12 days had been granted, every one was entitled to expert there was to bo a reconstruction of the go- or It vernment, or a change in jts policy. But though he was sure that it was not so intended by his noble friends, it llid so happen that the period in question was not used for either,of such purposes it was used by their supporters out of doors for the purpose of raising a clamour—of appealing to mobs 10,000 times less knowing than themselves on the subjects upon which they were appealed to-,Yorkiiig upon the credulity and the passions of those multitudes by tho most scandalous misrepresentations, taking the chances in the meanwhile that the Government would regain soino portion of the parliamentary confidence which they had, as it was hoped, only temporarily lost, lie repeated that that Was not intended by his noblo friends, but there could not be a shadow of doubt that their supporters out of doors bad used the time for that purpose. Meetings had been got u (I in cor- porate aud incorporate towns; beginning with that of Liverpool and ending with that of the Common Council of the City, and that with various success. He saw the lIoble doke opposite thought that it was not with various success, and he must say that he had never yet seen a cry which had failed so ut terly and totally At a meeting in Liverpool a per- son of great note and influence there did not hesitate to tell the people of that town that the noble viscount had had a meeting with his supporters, and that the ministers of the Crown had resolved to throw over- board the principle of finality, and adopt that of pro- gressive change. Upon the faith of that the inha- bitants of Liverpool voted an address in favour of the existing administration. Let them stay in," said the orators of Liverpool, and then you sha); see what you shall see." His noble fricnrl saw a do- putation from Liverpool; but lie gave them no an- swer—there never was anything more untrue than that he bad given theni the slightest encouragement, and if that assertion needed the least confirmation, that confirmation was to be found iu the speech whicli his noble friend had that evening delivered in their lordships' hearing. He (Lord Brougham) had heard from a kinsman of his own,wbowasa Whig, that the attempts to raise a cry both in Cumberland and Yorkshire were ns equal failure- as in other parts of the country but were tl--c failures to be attributed 10 any want ofzeal in the supporters of the government ? No; that zeal put forth a ten times, and oftener than ten ti Illes, coutradicted falsehood.

He would now como again to the history of the twelve days. They had now arri vud at the 31st of May, and they were precisely in the same position in which they stood on the 7th of this month. lie wished he could flatter hinytelf with the hope of seeing finality put an end to, and such principles avowed as would enable him once more to co-operate with his friends. He had been induced to hope, in the absence of other grounds of hope, that tho state of public orinioll, and the species of conditional support conceded to ministers would have led to a change in their policy. It was idle to affirm that the feeling and opinions of Lord John Russe:1 presented the least impediment to that If there was a stout Reformer in the Cabinet, he ,hould say that his noble friend the Secretary for the Home Department was that individual; there was not a man who knew hitu could dissent from that opinion of his sentiments. When that noble lord declared for the finality of the Reform Bill, if his colleagues did not agree with him, why did they not express their disagreement? Why did they not dis- claim all concurrence and sympathy with them ? He lLord Brougham) could, of his own knowledge, say, that they concurred with Lord John Russell he had it from those who received the information personally from the ministers themselves. Coupling that with their silent acquiescence in the declaration of the Home Secretary, he thought himself entitled to say that, of his own knowledge, he knew that the mem- bers of the Cabinet generally agreed with Lord John Russeil. He had hopes, however, that the progressive policy might have been adopted, but they had that (•veiling been dashed and damped by the tone of ieneralitv in which his noble friend had addressed the nouse he was further disappointed from finding that the new government h id been based upon a dilTenmt foundation from any upon which a Whig government had ever before rested. He had never before known a Whig government establishing itself upon a bed- chamber basis—resting its whole claim to support upon its care for the personal feelings of the Sove- reign. They were resolved, it would seem, to stand by their Sovereign, who had been attacked from other quarters; they had resolved to fly to her Ma- jesty's support, and rally round her throne. One of the first falsehoods put forth by the supporters of ministers was, that all attempt had been made by Sir Robert Peel to deprive the Queen of the society of all the ladies forming her Court and usually in attendance upon her. Nothing could have been more false; it arose out of an evident misappre- hension, which was explained and acknowledged in that house. What signified it that in parliament his noble friend had set that matter quite right, if ministerial members of the other house out of doors declared that Sir It. Peel had violite(I the sanctuary of the Queen—had sought to deprive hor of her early friends those who had watched over her in infancy, had attended her in sickness, had rejoiced in her health, and promoted her happiness-that thuse, her old and constant companions, were to be removed h'oin her, and that she was to be left utterly alone and friendless? Her Majesty was only 20 years of age. During how many of them had the ladies in question watched over her in her hours of sickness, and shared with fict- lier liours of liciltli ? Just two years, leaving IS totally unaccounted for, and during which none of those ladies had ever approached her Majesty. If the feelings of one man, woman, or child had been excited against the noble lord opposite, and in favour of his noble friend near him, by the general statement of Sir H" Peel's negocintions, loO men, 1000 women, and 10,001) younger persons had been excited by the appeal which had been made and came home to almost every bosom, respecting the attempt to tear from a young and lovely pnneess the earliest companions of her youth. But that turned out to be a falsehood-to be without even tiie shadow of truth in it. No one would have the face to assert in their loi-(IsliiPs' I)Ouse tli:tt persons having more than a two-year-ago association with her Majesty were ever dreamt of being displaced. It might be asked, what business had they to remove oven them ? Why not allow the lady of tbe noble marquis and the two sisters of his noble friend and former col- league the Secretary for Ireland why not allow them to remain? For aught he knew they might have been allowed to remain* All that had been stipu- lated for was the power of removing them. The ground now taken was, he confessed, quite new to him, as a politician, although defended by precedent elsewhere It appeared to him quite new and nn- lieard-of that any minister should object to such a proposition, and instead thereof insist upon it that coexisting with one set of men in office there should be another set, not of men but of women, the wives of the former set of men, in office also. That was a very queer doctrine to promulgate in 1839, and by us Whigs, who, in 1812, would not agree to enter office because his noble friend opposite was Lord Chamberlain, upon the occasion. The error, bow- ever, was discovered too late. It seemed to be the fate of their household dismissions to give rise to .explanations of a less satisfactory nature than might be expected. It threw this light upon the subject, however, that when a ministry said they resigned, they meant only that the husbands resigned, and that the wives, upon the principle of non-confor- mity, did not follow their husbands; that half went out, but that the better halves remained in; and that when a government came down and said in the usual and customary form appropriate to tho occasion, We are only in office until our successors shall be appointed," they meant, VVe are only in office until our wives and sisters shall succeed in preventing our intended successors from taking it." It was really a painful thing to be called upon to discuss a subject with which ladies were mixed up; but it had become a state question; the ladies of the bedchamber had been converted into a political engine, they had been made the pivot upon which the ministry was to turn A ministry was no longer to be formed as the wisdom of parliament should require, since the ladies of the Oedchnmber might stand in the way of those iu whom the parliament might confide. Those ladies had ceased to be the mere companions of the sovereign's private life, they had become an engine of the state, they had actually become statesmen, though not clothed in masculine habiliments, and stood between the wishes of parliament and the granting of those wishes. If it had not been for this part of the ease, he should have felt it his duty to maintain that silence upon the present occasion which he had willingly observed when the original discussion took place. But the question was a constitutional one; there were gravo matters mixed up with it: it had great constitutional bear- ings, and was connected with many and serious con- sequences. Entertaining a much stonger opinion tbitn King William did III lavour of our ancient monarchy, contrasted with other forms of government, he would willingly be relieved from the necessity of however, be would say or comparing th-a». |a perfectly ju-iifi ibH our con-Mtuuon, office to remain in office ground for a governm iuiol1„ consistently with if that government hci H ,f (h<j (wo hoU8es .„ of oarliameni. 1 "lc "I" iustlU'ioie auu differed it was equ< y J thg £ ,.ound of not to remove a ffovemtn Rouses of parlianen'. haviiiRtheeontHence jhe p(,0.llp.

That was their ca,e, that was their representation, stripped of all those exaggeraliolls Itlld I'-I-elioods which had been grafted upon 11 :he real nnmiouded and unadulte- rated statement of the cOlIslÏllltional principles and the constllllflonal conduct which his noble friend httd to lay bettji,e parli.tinelit tilitt evenin-(r. This was new, this was portentous, ihis was strange and un- couth language |(, addles* to parliament. He had thought they belonged to a country in which the government by Uie Crown and the wisdom of par- I liament were everything, and the personal feelings of the Suveieign absolutely not to be named at the same time to be named certainly in connection "Íih persOllal matters, to be iia(tied upon -,iii things which bcloned to mere ¡"d¡vidu,tI topic. to be kindly treated, to be most respectfully venerated, to be touched with A tno,,t tender, cautious, and thrilling hanu, but never to be allowed to inter- fere with the sober judgment of parliament, to coun- tervail the highest interests of the state, to regulate or guide the government, or to sway the state affairs(of tills ",aim. That was the language of the constitution. If it wag 110t^ ihen he would say that they did not live under a litiiiecl, but under all ab- solute, monarchy that they had an absolute monarchy clothed ju the form of a representative government, which had become a mere pageant and an useless and insulting mockery. Good God was he obliged, in this advanced period of our his- tory, to argue this question, and argue it, too, with Whigs, with the kinsmen, Ihe descendants, the re- presentatives of the ministers, or-r.ithe.-of those who, because they would no! subscribe to this creed, refused to be the ministers of 1812? He little thought he should have lived to hear it said by the Whig* of IS30, "Let us rally round the Queen; never mind the House of Commons; never mind measures; throw principles to the wiud; abal1- don opinions; leave pledges unredeemed; quarrel with your supporters iu both houses of parliament; but for God's sake rally round the Throne; the princess who fills it deserves to be the object of your reverence and respect, aud whatever pleases the priucess let it be the law of the land." lie was old enough to recollect that in the reign of George Ill., who had swayed the scptre of these realms with undiminished popularity, or rather witli a popularity which inc. eased with his years, he (Lord Broughan)) had regarded with the greatest contempt the principle of those nob!e lords oppo- site, which showed itself in the constant attempts to cover their failures by appeals to the "good old King. If they were at an election, and noman suffered more from elections at that period than he (Lord Broughttm) did, ttie usual cry was, Oh, never mind questions of reforlll-Iook to the g-ood old King, who is broken down with sickness, who is labouring under a load of years, and who has reigned over you for half a çentury." But it "as not the Whigs who did ti Ia I; fol- if there was one thing more than another of which the Whi""s then expressed their ahhoreuce, it was of that appeal to the "good old King," which they condemned and ridiculed ns hypocritical, because they knew what was meant by "my good old King;" they knew very well that it meaut "my izood old pension" alld "my excellent old place." That" God save the King" meant "God save my pensionand that give me a long-lived kin," lIIeant" give me a long-lived minister, who will give me a better pension and a larger place than I 110w have." lie recollected that Mr Tierney was said to have re- marked of one of the ministers of the day, lie is talking to-night of nothing but the 4 good OMJ Now, it (lie Prince of tvales," who was then Regent was to come to the throne, we should hear him talking of « lhe good young prince; and if by any sudden accident the Princess Charlotte should shortly succeed the Prince of Wales, we should hear him la'kiii, (,I* the good and interesting young princess." Those very words he (Lord Brougham") now heard used, not by those whom Mr Tiemey was said to call the unconstitutional Tories who thought everything was made for the King', but by the Whigs themselves. If he threw some' ridi- cule on these points he did not hide front hiiiisell* their serious import. Ridicule Was the natural consequence of tiie state in which they now stood. A government in which parliament bad 110 con- fidence retained their places because the Queen would not change her Ladies of the Bedchamber. Ministers heroically declared they Would standby the Queen, but would they by standing entice back the confidence of the House of Commons ? He did not believe a word of it. He believed the House of Commons to be a rational body of men, and that such a proceeding would not make the nlightest difference in their feelings. Would it secure the confidence of the public? No, lo the attempt had been made by palming^ false- hoods on them, and bad signally failed. Nothing but a change 01 measures 011 the part of the govern- ment would win back the supporters whom they had lost. But what became of the country over which a government depending for such means for existence presided? There was one of their meaquo-s-ilie JItDaied Bill. It was one of their most important measures, so important that on it ministers s!aked their existence. On its rejection they resigned, as having lost the confidence of the House of Commons. vVell, that bill was as neces- sary now as ever, and they had given it up, gave it up in the teeth of theil' OWII declared opinions. A right hon. friend of his in another place had ac- tually declared that he thought himself wrong in abandoning the bill. If that measure wa!i life right one, the present was the wrong olle. if it was right to do the other, it was wrong to abandon it. Oh, but the policy of Jamaica, the whole history of the measure, the giving of it up and the choosing of another, all that 18 completely change d because of two ladies of the bedchamber." That was the argument. It seemed a ludicrous one, to be sure, but that was not hia t'ault j he was only staling the case of the government in iheir o«n language. How could they reconcile it to their consciences to say, we won't adopt measures for the purpose of gaining "oles, when they wele adopting a Jamaica bill contrary to their consciences, because their consciences believed the other to be the right measure. They gave up the "right measure, aud took the wrong one, contrary to their opinion, and contrary to their conscientious conviction. Whyf Not because their opinions were changed, not because their consciences had become seared, not be- cause they had been stretched since the 7th of May—but because of a squabble which had arisen in the bedchamber of the Queen about the appoint- ment of two ladies. [His Lordship handled the other ministerial mea- sures, much in the same style; but we regret that on going to press we were compelled to deter tbe jusertiou of the reinuitiing passages.1 N

Never was there a Government which acted in so base and unnatural a manner towards its legislative offspring as the present; the Appro- priation Glause was abandoned by its unnatural parents; the Church Rate scheme was deserted by them; the Canada Bill and Lord DURHAM'S Ordinances "left at the door" of the Conserva- tives the Jamaica Bill strangled at its birth; the Canada Question "put out to nurse" until 18-12' and to conclude this, black caleiwlur of Political Infanticide, we have little doubt hut that the Education scheme will come to an untimely end even some of its liberal relations its "Godfathers and Godmothers," appear ashamed of the ricketty little brat, "And hacl, recoil, they know not why, Scared at the sound themselves have made." It never seems to have occurred to the inven- tors of this notable scheme that unless all religious instruction be excluded from a school, some one distinct and definite doctrine must necessarily he taught by the master or mistress, and imbihtMi by the children. It will be im- possible for any Act of Parliament, Ordinance, Minute of Council, Rule, or Order, to prevent this; to any one who has ever attempted to instruct children it is self apparent; the children, will ask questions, and the master mllstanswer them, or stitit the book and dismiss the schoo); nay more, the very first questions they ask will be those going to the root of the matter. Take. the Creed for instance, "the Holy Catholic Church." Child." What does that mean. Sir Master. "My good child know this, that iiie Commissioners have given strict orders against the discussion of any theological questions in school; you must ask your minister when he gives you separate religious instruction. Second Child. "Please, Sir, the priest says it means our church and not heretics." Third Child. Please, Sir, the minister said last Sun- day it means all the Protestants, aud that the- Papists worship idols and pictures, and waiiz. to hang us and burn us all." Master. Silence,, boys. Second C^hildt (aside). Won't I rivp it you after school!" Third Child, (aside). Do if you dare! no Pope &c., &c. And the same scene would take place on any contro- verted passage of Scripture being read. But it will be said, no religious instruction will be given by the master, that will be reserved for the chaplain and licensed ministers." If so, it will be necessary to forbid the reading of the Scriptures in school hours, and to forbid the use of any form of prayer or any creed and the practical result will be to have no religious in- struction whatever, for it is clear tbat both the Episcopalian and the Dissenting Ministers are too fully employed already' to take upon tliem-
