Business Of The House. On The Motion Of ...
BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE . On the motion of Lobd Palmerston , it was ordered that after the 3 l 3 t May , GoTernment orders of the day , should have precedence over otlier business . MINISTERS OF RELIGTON IN PRISONS . Mr . Bowyer addressed the House , complaining of restrictions put on ministers of all other religions fthan that of the Church of England , in Pentonville prison , so as to present religious intercourse with the prisoners . Sir George Grey sajd , he was willing to give evejy facility to ministers < fS all religions to visit prisoners of their persuasion ; but as the law stood , it was necessary that a Roman Catholic or dissenting person should ask to see a minister of his religion . ARMY CHAPLAINS . Sir De L . Evans drew attention to the service of the Chaplains of the army in this war , and asked the First Lord of the Treasury what recognition , if any , might be hoped for in respect of these services ? Lord Palmerston " , after paying a high eulogiurn on the manner in whicii the ministers of the Protestant , Presbyterian , and Roman Catholic religions had discharged their duties in the East , whether in the discharge of their ordinary duties , or in ministering to the sick in the hospitals and the wounded on the battle-field , said the Government hoped to have an opportunity of l'ewarding these meritorious men hereafter . Mr . S . Herbert tore testimony to the zealous and efficient services the Army Chaplains in the East had rendered , mentioned that four young men of the Established Church and four Of the Romish Church had perished there from disease and over-esertion , and suggested ^ that the chaplains of tne araiy might be rewarded with decorations similar to the Commissariat , as was done in foreign countries ; and , in addition , that they should i > e rewarded by the appointments to benefices in the gift of the Lord Chancellor , as some mark of public remuneration for their public services . Mr . Newdeoate also spoke in terms of commendation of the conduct of the army chaplains in the East . EDUCATION . Some other questions of no importance were discussed , and the House resolved itself into Committee onjLoid * John Russell's BeaolutionS on Education , the adjourned debate being resumed , ~ by Lobd" John Russell , who answered in . detail Sir James Graham ' s speech on the previous evening :, expressed his surprise at that right lion , baronet laving become the champion of Voluntary education . He denied that the plan he proposed was c o mpulsory and tyrannical , " but argued , it was meant to assist voluntary efforts and to give ingentiity and development to the agencies already employed . He contended that ifc was necessary for the purpose of providing a regular system of education , which would embrace inspection , the raising of the necessary funds , and the supply of existing deficiencies iu the means and places of education . Going through the details of the reductions , he concluded fey withdrawing the latter half of those which appeared to he moat seriously objected to . Sir George Grey , on the part of the Government , objected to all the resolutions , except the first five , and Mr . E . Bun ,, Sir J . Northoouis , Mr . Drommond , and Mr . Miles having spoken , Mr . Gladstone attacked the resolutions , which he declared to be destructive of the present admirable system . Mr . Disbabli followed in opposition to the resolutions , urging that they should be withdrawn enth'ely . The Committee then divided—For the resolutions 128 Against them 26 0 Majority ,.... 102 They were accordingly lost . Tho other "busincBB was adjourned .

There is nothing so revolutionary , because there is nothing so unnatural and . conviaisive , as the strain to keep thing ' s fixed when all the world is by the very law of its creation in eternal progress . —l > n . Arnold .
The Intervention In Italy. The Sardinian...
THE INTERVENTION IN ITALY . The Sardinian plenipotentiaries , in their memorial to the Congress of Paris , have proposed , it Is said—and the credulous believe it—a settlement of the Italian question . The scheme is vague and partial — vague , because it suggests no positive solution of . the Ifeapolitan difficulty ; partial , because it does not include the release of Lombatdy and Venice from Austrian domination . Nevertheless , it is . an
important result of the wur , that it has strengthened the basis of a national policy in the Italian peninsula . During the two past years , the people of that country have not been alone engaged in watching the vicissitudes of the Russian struggle . The constitutional kingdom of Piedmont has gained influence and character ; the populations of the Papal States , of Naples , of the Duchies , and of the Lorabardo-Venetian territories have once more
become so restless , that it seems impossible to avert important changes . These inevitable changes , say the organs of aristocratic liberality , should be carried into effect under the control and sanction of the Powers deliberating at Paris . They desire a revolution in Italy , bub a revolution with a Congress at the helm , that ifc may be a steady , limited movement , taking no impetuous or eccentric course . What th « y solicit is , that the temporal authority of the Pope and the College of Cardinals should be abolished , that the advantages of a civil and responsible government should be conferred on the three
millions of Italians inhabiting the Papal States , and that the French occupation should cease . Tho Legations , held in terror by Austrian troops , and degraded and pillaged by an ecclesiastical administration , they would place under a King or a Viceroy nominally dopondonfc on tho Pope , but guaranteed conditionally by the assenting Powers , from Papal ns well as from Austrian interference . The
Government of Naples , the memorial declares , is tho opprobrium of Italy , and for that kingdom liberal institutions are demanded , though whether under the reigning sovereign , or under some exotio prince , tho plenipotentiaries do not explain . To the small Duchies they scarcely refer , and to tho chief evil of Italy , tho unnatural despotism of the Austrians in Lombardy and venico—a , reproach amd a scourge to the Italians , fa . r worse than tho tyranny of Naples—they only point as to a problem which events must solve .
