With the aid of the Irish Roman Catholic members the Government have just carried pai the third reading of the Education Bill by 2 £60 majority, one stage in the passage of the measure having been overleapt entirely owing to the fact that not a single wor of the Bill as introduced by the Gorernment was altered in Committee. The Radicals have fought bitterly against the measure from first to last, but with such an enormous majority against them they were course powerless. They threaten to undo the whole work of the measure when they return to power. Cooler counsels will, however, by that time no doubt prevail. They will in all probability try to introduce popular control into the management of those Church schools which will in fature be almost entirely supported: by rates and taxes; but with a House of Lords to reckon with they will Gnd even this difficult.
