A considerable portion of the last Report of the National

Education Commissioners for Ireland is occupied with a defence of the system and of the Commissioners from the attacks of the Bishop of Exeter. Dr. Philpotts is charged with suppression of facts, in order to tneke-

gmd an accusation against them ; with "garbling their words," to serve his purpose; with falsehood; with calumniating a schoolmaster, so grossly that they recommend the defamed person to prosecute the Bishop for a libel; and with falsely accusing Dr. Murray of perjury. Dr. Philpotts gave the Commissioners this opportunity of safely exposing his virulent calumnies, by publishing one of his speeches with notes, in his favourite form of a pamphlet.
