Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from the Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce, and from the Scotch Trade Protection Society, complaining of the 12th clause of the Bills of Exchange Bill, which they errone ously supposed would make them amenable to the Eng lish courts ; also a petition from Carnarvon, in favour of an alteration in the system of fees in County Courts. THE WAR. Lord BEAUMONT wished to know whether the Government could lay on the table any documents which would explain the actual state of our relations with the German Powers. He put this question, because it ap peared that a new protocol had recently been signed between the four Powers at Vienna. It appeared that these relations were not on a very satisfactory footing. The noble earl also put a series of other questions with regard to rumours lately circulated, which will be found referred to in the answer of the Secretary for :Foreign Affairs. The Earl of CLARENDON said the protocol .in ques tion was only signed the day before yesterday at Vienna, and as yet he had only seen the draft of it, which..arrived yesterday. He thought it was of a satisfactory .charac ter. It was not precisely that which the English Go vernment desired, and which the Austrian Government originally agreed should form the groundwork of a co nven tion, but it had assumed the shape of a protocol to meet the wishes of the Prussian Government, and he (the Earl of Clarendon) must say that it substantially con tained all the terms of the former convention. As .he had already said, it had not arrived in a complete sha.ve in this country, otherwise there would have been no difficulty in laying it on the table. As soon, however, as the document itself was received, it should be pre sented to their lordships. As to the rumour of Prussia having gone altogether over to Russia, there was not the slightest foundation for it, nor the slightest ground for entertaining any apprehension of such an event. He. could certainly have wished that the temper and tone of the second Prussian Chamber had been rather different to what they were, but it was sufficiently manifest both by the discussions in that assembly, and the writings in the press of Prussia, that such a thing as Prussia going over to Russia was quite impossible. As to the rumour of the recal of Chevalier Bunsen, he had certainly read the same report which the noble earl mentioned, but as yet the Government had no official knowledge of the fact. The only thing of which he had any information was, that it was likely there would be another special mission from Prussia similar to that which was sent three weeks ago, and which would probably be attended by the same re sults. With respect to the new convention signed be tween Prussia and Austria, he was not able to give any particulars, as it had not been communicated to the Government. All they had learnt was, that it pro ceeded from Austria to Prussia, and that it was concluded not exactly in the terms which Austria proposed. He believed, moreover, that it was a convention of an of fensive and defensive nature. According to the last information from the Black Sea, the whole of the com bined fleets was at Kavarna, and it was there before the news was received of the passage of the Danube by the Russian army, as it was expected that that passage would be attempted, and the fleet were moved to Ka varna. Since then, viz., to-day, information had been received by the Government that the news of th e passage of the river had reached the admirals, and that they had sent some steamers in the direction of Kustendje, in order to communicate with the Com mander of the Turidtah army, and give them the assist ance they required. He had not received any official information of the Austrians having entered Servia, but he believed it was their intention to take some severe step for the preservation of the status quo.

MOLESWORTII—As to what had become of the statue of Geor ge 11. which had stood in square previous to 1851, 'he had found it was under the Great Globe on that site, an d further that Mr. Wyld said the statue in questio n was almost valueless, * and - that it was besides private propel ty. ABANDONMENT OF THE REFORM BILL. Lord J. RUSSELL, in rising to move that the house at its r i s i ng do adjourn until Monday the 24th, took the opportunity of entering into an explanation with regard to the Reform Bill. He had proposed to move that the house should adjourn until the 21th, but from various cir cumstances which he explained, such as the fast day which was fixed for the 26th, he thought it would be better to adjourn until the 27th. (Hear, bear.) He would now state the course which Government had det erm i ned to take with regard to the Reform Bill. The house w as aware that Lord Aberdeen and his Government accepted office upon the distinct pledge or understanding that a new measure of parliamentary reform would be one of its first. measures. Now, his own personal only accept office lhonour being mined up w ith th a t ques ti o n, ha could under Lord Aberdeen on such terms, but when the time came for introducing such a measure lalct,l wereyear, it was f ound which that the affairs, of India, I very preaiing a t t h e t i me wou ld prec lude its intro duction, an d it was thereforo not brought forward l ast Session. During the recess, however, the Cabinet again gave its attention to the subject, and at the opening of Par liament this year the n - ,- Aleeu announced from the throne that such a measure had been prepared, and would be speedily laid before the house. It was so laid before the house on the 13th of February, but owing to the rupture with Russia it was afterwards thought advisable to post pone the second reading of the bill until the 27th of this month. (Hear, hear.) At the same time, however, he then stated his opinion, that in the abstract, the country being in a state of war was not a sufficient reason for postponing MallFlroi o f domestic abaractet like a Reform 8 11 4 . bat a bait npeared that there was a manifest unwillingness on the part of the house to enter into a discussion of the bill ; while, so far as he could collect from the number of publio meetings which had been held s on the subject, the country seemed for the momeats- to be utterly' ndifferent to it. (Hear.) In fact, the attention of the country was now wholly ab sorbed in the progress of the great struggle in which we were now embarked ; and though the people did not dis approve of the provisions of this bill, the Govern ment yet thought that in the present aspect of our foreign affairs it would not be advisable even for the sake of reform itself that they should proceed further with the Reform Bill this session. (Cheers.) He thought that there was great truth in the observation of the right hon. gentleman the member for Buckingham shire, that it was unwise to continue this bill on the paper in a state of doubt and uncertainty ; it was unwise to con tinue it, then, if it could not be proceeded with this ses sion, because it practically declared that there were mem bers holding seats in the house who, in the estimation of the framers of the bill, had no right to them— (hear, hear)—and the Government, he repeated, feel ing the force of that observation, had arrived, after clue deliberation, at the conclusion which he had just announced. (Ilear, hear.) It had been for them to chose between two courses, either they might have gone on with the bill, preferring to resign in case of defeat on the Reform Bill, or they must abandon it to a future and more opportune period. Now, looking to the prospect of a severe war, and bearing in mind that the responsibility of having commenced it rested with her Majesty's present advisers, they had preferred to take the latter course rather than run the risk of a defeat, which might render their resignation necessary in the midst of the present struggle. (Cheers.) It might be asked, then, how stood the question of reform? What were its prospects? Well, he would confess, by way of answer, that the views and opinions of the Government on the subject of Pa taryßeform remained unchanged and unshaken, and please God, should a fitting time speedily arrive, they would be prepared to renew the measure which necessity compelled them to abandon. (Cheers.) He knew that the course he had taken was new ; it was unprecedented ; and he owned without hesitation, that it might fairly hold the Government up to some censure. No doubt the Opposition would make this an occasion for indulging in taunts and insinuations at his own expense, and he should not find fault with them for doing so, but he wished the house and the country to believe that he had done nothing which, in his conscience, he thought would injure the cause of reform. (Cheers.) It was only a se nse of public duty, and a sense of what was due t o the Sovereign at this momentous time, which had induced him to sacrifice this measure for the present; but with the risk-of a defeated Ministry or a dissolution of Parliament, he had no alternative but to arrive at the con clusion that the Reform Bill must be given up for a while. The noble lord, who was, towards the close of his speech, moved to tears, which called forth the hearty and long-continued plaudits of both sides of the house, re sumed his seat by moving that the house at its rising should adjourn until the 27th inst. Sir E. DERING warmly thanked the noble lord for having extricated the Reformers from the difficulty which the bill had imposed upon them. (Hear, hear.) The great moral courage which the noble lord had displayed to-night was worthy of his high reputation, a n d the noble lord might rest satisfied that the people of this country, to whom he appealed, were too gene rous t o accuse him of insincerity on the subject of reform, or to ques tion the propriety of the decision which he seemed to have so reluctantly come to. (Cheers.) No man could foreeee the end of the great struggle we were unfortunately embarked in, and although the question of Parliamentary Reform might be very properly taken up again when peace returned, this was not the proper time for pressing it forward. (Hear, hear.) He, therefore, again thanked the noble lord for the course he was taking, and promised him his support as soon as circumstances should admit of Parliamentary Reform. Mr. HUME had reluctantly arrived at the same con clusion as the noble lord ; but he thought there was no al ternative but to abandon this measure for the present. (Hear, hear.) It was for the interest of Reform that the question should be postponed until the war was at an end, and he therefore hoped his friends around him would do honour to the reasonable feelings of the noble lord on this subject rather than meet him with those unbecom ing taunts of which the noble lord appeared to be afraid. Mr. BRIGHT was glad that this bill was not given up ag A sacrifice to the clamours of the Opposition ; it was gi V6ll up because the noble lord was now thoroughly a live to the impossibility of making progress with a mea sure .of Parliamentary Reform while a war was raging arems d us. (Loud cheers.) The noble lord had been a p o liti ca l Samson „in his time, and had clone much which hereafter' would be remembered to his honour, but it would be impos eible for the noble lord, or any other minister, to get a Refo:en Bill passed while the war was going on. (Cheers.) Lae had never doubted the sincerity of the noble lord on the subject of Parliamentary reform; nay, be would go th e length of saying, that the man who doubted it would he eigter blind or stupid, but he blamed the noble lord and his colleagues for having advocated the policy which bad led to the war. (Hear, hear.) The house, however, had supported them in that policy, and they could not, therefore, censure or taunt the noble lord for the course he proposed to take with regard to this biil. (Hear, hear.) The hon. gentleman then proceeded to criti cise the now defunct Reform Bill, and to argue that it conferred snore advantages on the counties than on the towns. He advised the noble lord not to give up the idea of reform, which he had cherished so many years, as the people were with him, and be hoped in happier times the noble lord would be prepared with an improved bil: when he was convinced the country would be ready to sup port him. (Cheers.) Mr. LABOUCHERE believed the noble lord had acted with his wonted integrity and courage in taking this course. The noble lord would have seriously injured the cause of reform if ho had been actuated by any false shame, but seeing that the attention of the people was wholly absorbed in the war the noble lord had manifested a wise and pru dent feeling in consenting to postpone his bill to a future period. (Cheers.) Lord JOCELYN accorded his mood of praise to the noble lord for the sacrifice of personal feeling which he had made on this occasion, and expressed a hope that, now that the reform difficulty was got rid of, the war would be carried on with energy and vigour. Lord H. VANE rose, and was [LEFT SPEAKING.] THE LONDON GAZETTE. (THIS EVENING.) BOARD OF TRADE, WHITEHALL, APRIL 8.

THE NEW SUSPENSION-BRIDGE AT CHELSEA The suspension-bridge over the Thames, at Chelsea, now in the course of construction for the Commissioners of her Majesty's Works, under the superintendence of Mr. Page, their engineer, stands nearly midway between Vauxhall and Battersea-bridges. Some particulars of the construction may be interesting. For the founda tions, piles of elm timber, averaging 13 inches square, are driven at intervals of 3 feet, on an average 28 feet below the bed of the river, enclosed by a strong cast iron casing, 88 feet in length, and 19 feet in width, with curved cutwater. This iron case consists of piles and plates driven into the bed of the river, the piles to a depth of 25 feet, and the plates 20 feet below the low-water line. These piles are driven at every 9 feet; the metal is one inch thick, and the plates are cast with ribs 6 inches deep, and have projecting pieces arranged to fit into the grooves of the piles : this casing forms the outside of the pier ; it rises 7 feet above high water, and is surmounted by a moulded cast-iron curb. From the depth of the piles and plates below the bed of the river it prevents the water ever undermining the foundations. The elm bear ing piles are cut off at a level of two feet above low water, and are securely tied together transversely and longitudinally, by iron bars, bolted to every pile. The loose ground between the piles is scooped out, and the entire space filled to the top of the piles, with concrete, consisting of five parts of gravel to one part of blue lias lime : upon this concrete two layers of thick Yorkshire stone landings are bedded, care being taken that no void is left between the under surface of the bottom layer and the concrete, but that the stones shall bear equally over the whole foundations. This forms the floor upon which the towers of the bridge are to be erected. The towers, which are being prepared, are of cast-iron columns, 10 inches diameter, firmly braced and tied together, and are to be inclosed in an ornamental casing, partly of wrought and partly of cast iron. The space between the frame work and the cast-iron casing of the piers and the foundations will be filled in solid "with concrete, and upon this will be a layer of Bradford landings forming the floors of the piers. The chains will be carried over the towers on saddles, moving on rollers six inches diameter placed on a horizontal bed, and secured to the -abutments by mooring -stones, from which spring strong brick arches, which sustain the weight of the concrete, forming the interior of the abut ments. The mooring-stones likewise bear against the side walls, so that the whole weight of the abutments is made effective in counteracting the pull of the chains. The roadway is to be formed of wrought-iron girders placed transversely at every 8 feet of the bridge suspen ded to the chains by iron bars 2 inches diameter, and diagonally braced with smaller girders of similar con struction, upon which rest the roadway plates, and upon these the pavement forming the road. The footpaths are to be placed outside the chains, and supported at distances of eight feet by wrought-iron cantilevers bolted to the transverse girders of the roadway. Between the footpaths and the roadway a wrought-iron girder six feet deep, and rising about three feet above the road way, will run the whole length of the bridge, stiffening the roadway, and preventing that tremulous motion to which suspension-bridges are so subject. On each abut ment two ornamental lodges are built, in character with the architecture of the towers, and will serve as habita tions for the toll-men. There is much novelty in the construction of the foundations, and we are not surprised to learn that, since the bridge was commenced, several French and German engineers have visited the works, with a view of adopting in their own countries the method employed. BIRTH PLACES OF THE CHIEF OFFICERS ABOUT TO AOT AGAINST RUSSIA.—A gentleman curious in such matters has made out the following statement : Of the five who are to command divisions, all are of different birth—a Scotchman, a Hanoverian, an Irishman, a Canadian, and an Englishman—thus Sir George Brown is a native of Linkwood, near Elgin ; the Duke of Cambridge was born at Her enkausen, in Hanover ; Sir De Lacy Evans is a native of Moig, county Limerick, Ireland ; Sir Richard England, a native of Detroit, in Upper Canada ; and the Earl of Lucan is the only Englishman of that rank ; he is to com mand the cavalry, and is a Londoner by birth, though of course an Irishman by descent. So also it is remark able with respect to the two fleets, how the two highest command are not Englishmen. Sir Charles Napier was born near Falkirk, in Scotland, and Admiral Dundas 4 at Calcutta, though he also is a Scotchman by descent. Amongst the eleven Brigadiers-general, it is interesting to observe H. J. Bentinck (English ?), of Dutch origin on both sides—his mother having been a De Reede de Ginkle), Sir Colin and Sir John Campbell, of Scotch blood, Colonel Pennefather, a " Tipperary boy." Colonel Yorke Scarlett, of Jamaica descent, while J. B. Estcourt is a Londoner, born near Port man-square, and Lord Cardigan, a native of Hamble don, leaving only four unaccounted for, and of t h ese , H. W. Adams is probably a native of War wickshire, since he is the head of an old family in that county, Wm. Eyre is probably of Nottinghamshire birth, and George Buller a Cornishman. Among the six assistant adjutants-general we notice the two Irish names of Doyle and Sullivan, and two Scotch, Maule and Gordon. The mixed nature of our population is here shadowed forth, but Eui,lishmen have not secured " the lion's share " of the staff appointments.—Civil Scrr ice Gazette. - [ADVERTISE'HENT.]-- HOLLOWAY'S PILLS FOR THE CURE OF LIVER COMPLAINTS, INDIGESTION, AND DISOR DERED STOMACH.—Mr. Richard Haynes, of her Majesty's Dockyard at Plymouth, for several years had not had the enjoyment of a day's good health, constantly suffering from indigestion and liver complaint. He had the best medical advice from both army and navy surgeons, but the disease yielded not to their treatment, and various other remedies were tried with a like result. At last he began to use Holloway's pills, and this fine medicine has so strengthened the tone of his stomach and invigorated his constitution, that he is most perfectly cured, and en joys the best of health.—Sold by all druggists, and at Professor Holloway's EataNishment, 244, Strand, London, , 'M SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 11, 1854, ruptcy.

The house then. went into committee on this bill. Mr. DUNLOP said, in proceeding to move amend ments in this bill, he must at once deny that he was actuated by any feeling of hostility towards the Church of England. The ;eneral object which he had in view was to prevent the ball from giving that church a status in the colonies which it did not now legally possess. He denied that the prerogative of the Crown extended to giving either th e Church of England or the Church of Scotla - nd the posit ion and character of an establishment, and- he proposedi therefore to leave out the words "diocese" and "p rovince." He did not know how a diocese mold be es tablished in a colony where there was a colonial legislatit re, on the mere authority of the crown, when none could he established in this country without an act of Parliament. How could the crown be justi fied in establishing a Protestant diocese in the midst of the Roman Catholics of Lower Canada ? He earnestly entreated the Govi irninent to accede to his amendment, and not to persist i n a course which would probably have the effect of bringing the church into collision with the colonial legislature. The hon. member concluded by moving the omission of the words, " the metropolitan of any province, or the bishop of any diocese," and the insertion of " bisheps and clergy." Mr. ELLICE felt great pleasure in seconding the amendment. He never saw a bill of this kind without feeling that, instead of benefitting the episcopal church in the colonies, arid making it popular among the people, it was likely to have the contrary effect. (Hear, hear.) He could not conceive of what use the bill could pos sibly be. If there was any statute which interfered with the regulation of its own affairs by the episcopal church, let Parliament either repeal it or give the colo nial legislature the power of doing so. He was not for retaining any restriction which interfered with the use fulness either of the Church of England or of the Church of Scotland. (Hear, hear.) Half a century ago he saw the result of an attempt to set up the Church of Eng land in the colonies, and to give it an exceptional posi tion. He recollected that when a bishop was first sent to Upper Canada he called himself " Lord Bishop," taking precedence of almost every one else in the colony, he was much disliked ; and the result was that the legislature adopted a resolution, by a majority of 36 to 4, declaring that the Church of England, as by law esta blished, was not the religion of the inhabitants of that colony. This was the tendency of all such interference as that now proposed. The Reformed Church was one of the most popular ministries in the United States ; and those who had any regard for the English Church should endeavour to bring it into the same position in the colo nies. He did not see why the position of the Church of England in the colonies should not be precisely similar to its position in Scotland. It was very common in patents to call bishops " Lord Bishop." He objected to that title, as altering their status ; and as it did not give them any additional civil rights, he thought it would be best to discontinue a practice which made them less respected and less useful. Mr. HUME wished to' know what really were the grievances to be remedied by this bill. If an act of Par liament pressed unfairly upon the colonies, why not re peal the act, and then leave the colonies to arrange their affairs as they chose. These things could not be so well arranged in the mother country as in the colony. The contrary course of action had already caused many ab surdities. What could be more ridiculous than to send a bishop to Hong-Kong, when there were not more than 20 episcopalians there, or to require that such a bishop when he went on board one of her Majesty's ves sels should be saluted with 7 guns? (Hear, and laughter.) The SOLICITOR-GENERAL begged to remind hon. members that this measure was now in committee, and that the objections which had been made referring rather to the principles than the details of it, were not alto gether in place. (Hear.) At the same time he could not object to the observations which had been made, for they rather tended, when properly explained, to support the bill than otherwise. He entirely agreed with the hon. member for Montrose (Mr. Hume) that the colo nies ought to have a power of regulating their own ecclesiastical affairs—(hear)—and he no less fully sub scribed to the ideas that it was desirable to keep the colonial Church as free from the legislative interference of Parliament as possible. It was that object which he had before him in the present measure, which proposed only to give the colonial Church liberty of action and freedom of management. But it would not do to carry out that eud by repealing the statute of Henry VIII., as his hon. friend the member for Montrose seemed to think, because that statute comprised a variety of ob jects, and it was most essential to preserve it in order that the supremacy of the Crown might be preserved. (Hear.) The act of Henry VIII. prohibited any convocation of the clergy without the previous royal permission to meet; it provided also that no convocation should discuss any new canon of the Church without the authority of the Crown, and that no canon should be passed contrary to the canon law as recognised and established by the common law of the realm. Now, the two last provi sions it was necessary to preserve, and hence it was manifestly impossible to repeal the act. (Hear, hear.) There seemed to be on the part of some hon. members a misapprehension with regard to the position of the colo nial Church. That Church was a portion of the united Church of England and Ireland, and great care had ' always been taken to preserve to it that character. In the earliest colonial bishopric that had been created— that of Calcutta—the bishop was expressly termed "Bishop of the United Church of England and Ireland'" This course had been followed in the 5 Vict., c. 6, which appointed a " bishop of the United Church of England and Ireland in Ireland." Neither in these acts of Par liament, nor in the letters patent under them, were the bishops given the title of " Lord," and with regard to the salvo of seven guns—mentioned- by the hon. mem ber for Montrose—he (the Solicitor-General) could only say that if any indiscreet captain thought the bishop required such an expenditure of gunpowder, the matter must be ascribed rather to naval ideas than to episcopal requisitions. (" Hear, hear," and laughter.) The amendments of the hon. and learned gentleman (Mr. Dunlop) went to change the principle of the law. (Hear, hear.) He (the Solicitor-General) intended to remedy a specific evil by a specific remedy—not to alter the foundation of the law. This was the desire of the colonists themselves, as he had been assured by a dis tinguished member of the colonial Legislature who was at present in this country. The colonists, by which he meant those colonists who were episcopalians, desired only that the Church of England in the colonies should be put on the same footing as other sects were, and this was the object proposed by the present bill. Sir J. PAKINGTON concurred in thinking that this was not a moment for discussing the principle of the bill. He thought that the hon. and learned Solicitor-General had not stated sufficiently what were the feelings of the colonists on the question. He (Sir J. Pakington) was disposed to view all these bills with suspicion, and be should, in fact, move amendme n t s t o the present mea sure, bat he could not forget that the colonists loudly demanded the bill. (Hear, heai.) Sir G. GREY thought the question was being dis cussed in the dark, and that the committee had not been sufficiently informed what was the position of the Church of England in the colonies, and what were the disabilities which this bill was to remove. He had not been able to understand why a simple act, repealing so much of the objectionable part of the act of Henry VIII. as referred to the colonies, could not meet the requirements of the present case. It seemed to him that the object of the Solicitor-General was to give to the colonial Church all the benefits of a state, and also of a free Church. Mr. NAPIER said the hon. and learned Solicitor- General asserted that to understand the bill it was only necessary to understand the law. Did he mean to assert the converse, that whoever did not understand the bill was ignorant of the law ! If so, he (Mr. Napier) feared he must come under the category of the ignorant. (Laughter.) The hon. and learned gentleman said that the object of the bill was to cement the connection be tween the church at home and in the colonies. He (Mr. Napier) feared that its effects would be to sever that connection. The common law ordained that no ecclesiastical jurisdiction should be independent of the royal supremacy, but here in the bill that supremacy was dispensed with, with the abolition of the royal license. The hon. and learned member proceeded to quote from Hansard a speech of the Solicitor-General, made in a former year, when the subject of the colonial church was under the consideration of Parliament, and which he (Mr. Napier) contended was hostile to the principle contained in the present bill. What he com plained of was that the bill did not give the church in the colonies proper power to regulate its doctrine, dis cipline, and government—matters the government of which was properly inherent in the church. He was willing to join in any attempt to make the church in the colonies more efficient, but he would never give his vote for any measure which should have the effect of damaging the supremacy of the crown in matte r s of re- Mr. HENLEY said that the church in the colonies was part and parcel of the Church of England, and therefore he felt that the amendment would be quite out of place. Mr. WALPOLE said that the grievance of the church in the colonies was that the clergy were paid by salary which they received from the civil authority, while at the same time they could hot preach without license from the bishop. The bishop had thus an au tocratic power over them from which there was no appeal. The next question was how. they were to re dress that grievance. Repeal of the statute of Henry VIII. would not redress it. Ecclesiastical courts might do so ; but would the colonies tolerate them or would that house permit them ? (Hear.) Some hon. members were of opinion that the best remedy would be total se- verance from the Church of England. . He did not think so. He believed the operation of this clause would be to put the members of the Church of England in the colonies in exactly the same position as any other reli gious body in the colonies, while it would enable the church to make rules, or enter into contracts for its own government, without any control or appeal whatever. He did not believe the bill wculd interfere with the su premacy of the crown ; but, at the same time, he thought it would be advisable to insert a proviso declaring the bill should not disturb the Act of Supremacy, nor should it enable to make orders or regulations for its govern ment which, either in terms or spirit, were contrary to the Book of Common Prayer, or the doctrines contained in the Thirty-nine Articles. Mr. DUNLOP replied, and insisted that nothing had occurred in the course of the debate to shake his confi- dence in the amendment he had proposed. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said, upon a reconsi deration of the subject, he had no objection to the amend ment, and therefore he would not trouble the committee to divide upon it. Sir J. PAKINGTON remarked that the amendment would make such a material alteration in the bill, as well as so largely alter the character of the Established Church in the colonies, that he must divide upon it if no ono else would. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER denied that it would disturb either the position or character of the Church, and since there was something fair and equitable in the proposition of the hon. member for Greenock, it certainly deserved support. At present the Church in the colonies exercised its diocesan functions under an authority derived from the prerogative of the Crown, and the simple object of the amendment was to withhold from this bill anything like a statutory recogni tion of that authority which its provisions would give if it were passed without the proposed alteration. After a feW words from Mr. Henley, the Solicitor- General, and Mr. Walpole, the committee divided, when there appeared— For the amendment Against it The amendment was accordingly agreed to. Mr. DUNLOP then proposed in page 2 to leave out lines 4 and 5, and insert " of churches in communion with the United Church of England and Ireland, and the lay members of the congregations of such clergy." The SOLICITOR-GENERAL could not accede to this amendment, but he should propose to leave out the words objected to, with the view of inserting others which would accomplish all that the hon. member had in view. 81 34-47 Sir J. PAKINGTON wanted to know before the clause passed who was to put these bodies in motion ; was it to rest with the laity or the bishops, or would it entirely rest with the latter ? The CHAIRMAN held that the proper time had not arrived Yet for discussing that question. Mr. J. B. SMITH observed that there was so much uncertainty and confusion about the bill, that the best thing they could do was to report progress. He should therefore move that the chairman do leave the chair. Mr. T. CHAMBERS seconded the amendment, be lieving that it was impossible for the framers of the bill or anybody else to comprehend it, or to say what its effect would be when passed, if it ever arrived at that stage. Mr. R. PALMER opposed the motion. A short conversation ensued, in which Sir J. PAKINGTON spoke in favour of continuing the discussion. Mr. A. KINNAIRD said it was impossible, as the bill stood, to understend it ; that there was no strong feeling on the subject in the colonies ; and that it was better to leave it to be dealt with by the colonial legis lature ; which opinion Mr. F. PEEL combated, stating that the colonies generally had petitioned in favour of some such tries, sure ; and Mr. MIALL urged that the whole difficulty com plained of by the colonial clergy arose out of their con nection with the state. Ultimately the motion for reporting progress was withdrawn. Mr. DUNLOP'S amendment to insert the words " of churches in communion with the united churches of England and Ireland was then put. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL objected that the amendment assumed that there was in the colonies a Church in communion with the united church of Eng land and Ireland not being a part of that Church, which was not the case, historically, legally, or practically ; and if the words were introduced they would destroy the efficacy of the bill. It had been asked why had this bill been introduced? By the common law of England the clergy of the united Church of England and Ireland were prohibited from meeting for the' purpose of dis cussing matters of ecclesiastical regulation ; and by the statute of Henry the Eighth that common law had been declared. Both in England snd Ireland this prohibi tion existed. The hon. and learned gentleman then urged that the bishops and clergy of the colonies had no power of investigating or instituting inquiries and taking proofs in matters of clerical discipline, and that state of things must continue unless the Legislature gave a civil authority and ecclesiastical power to the bishops and congregation, and it was to enable the bishops and clergy to meet and adopt some mutual arrangement to effect this object that the present bill was designed, whilst they could not do otherwise without incurring the penalty attached by the act of Henry VIII. to the bishops and clergy meeting to discuss ecclesiastical matters. He denied that he had asserted that the act of Henry VIII. had no jurisdiction in the colonies, for he had repeated again and again that that act was a part of the law relating to the supremacy of the crown, and prevailed in all the dominions of the crown. For that reason the bishops and clergy of the colonies were bound by a statute which ought not to hind them. As to the Established Church in the colonies, there was no such Established Church, inasmuch as the Church there possessed no civil or ecclesiastical autho rity, but only a spiritual power, which entitled it to be designated as a part of the'united Church of Eng land and Ireland. It was intended, therefore, by this bill, to relieve the bishops and clergy of the colonies from personal disability to make any future arrangement among themselves for the discipline of the church. With regard to adopting the amendment of the hon. member for Greenock, by leaving out of the clause the words " province and diocese," which implied an ecclesiastical authority, which it was not the intention of the bill to recognise, there was no inconsistency on the part of the Government. The words would therefore read thus— " Bishops and clergy, and lay members of the congrega tion of such clergy in the colonies, being members of the united church of England and Ireland." Mr. J. G. PHILLIMORE denied the assertion of the Solicitor-General that the spiritual supremacy of the Crown was part of the common law. Sir Thomas More lost his head because he denied that doctrine ; and he quoted him rather than Bishop Fisher, who was a clergy man, and whose opinion might not be viewed with so much confidence as that of Sir T. More, who died in de fence of his opinion. It was impossible not to see that this bill was an attempt to establish in the colonies the convocation of the church, which was not allowed to be in action here. What else was meant by the petition for synodal action presented by the hon. member for Bury ? Since 1717, when convocation played such a part to wards Bishop Hoadley, it had been found necessary to suspend its operation in this country, and what reason was there to suppose that its existence would benefit the colonies ? The hon. member for StaffOrdshire wished the bill to be passed because the colonial legislature would not do so, and that was the very reason why it should not be passed. As to putting the church in the colo nies on the same footing as the dissenters, this bill did more, for it gave the power of enforcing its provisions personally on members of the Church. In his opinion the suspension of the powers of convocation in this coun try was wise, and he objected to its powers being ex tended to the colonies. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER entered his earnest protest against the course taken by the hon. and learned gentleman and other members, for they were now for the fifth time discussing on the amendments the principle of the bill in every imaginable form, and then gentlemen complained of there being confusion. If you wanted a recipe for confusion about a bill, you had but to mix up discussions of the principle with verbal results and the result would be certain confusion. He denied the assertion of the hon. member for Leominster, that the petition from the diocese of Toronto praying for synodal action was a prayer for the establishment of con vocation ; and this was the first time he ever heard that these two things were the same. So far from establishing convocation in the colonies, all that was wanted was a power to enable members of the Church to meet and make any compact among themselves to meet their local difficulties and such matters as disturbed the tranquillity , of their Church ; and it was not too much for our colo nial fellow-subjects to ask that when matters were at stake which they considered of vital interest, that these matters should be treated by that house with as much consideration as a railway or turnpike bill. As to the immediate amendment he thought, in order that it might be known what they were discussing, it would be better for the chairman to put it again. Mr. NAPIER contended that what this bill really meant to do was not to interfere with the statute of Henry the Eighth, but with the common law relating to the supremacy of the crown, which did extend to the colonies, and if by that law the bishop and clergy were forbidden to meet for ecclesiastical purposes, the com mon law provided a remedy. For the same thing might be done as was done in Ireland, where a license was given to the bishop and clergy for the purpose of allow ing them so to meet. He looked at this bill with great distrust, and should give it all the opposition in his power. Mr. Serjeaut SHEE said he had listened to the de bate, and tried to understand what was meant by the united Church of England and Ireland. It was urged by Mr. Napier that it was a part of the common law that an acknowledgment of the supremacy of the crown should accompany the Church of England where ever it went. Was it meant by that that no one but subjects of the crown of England could belong to the church ? And must all who believed in that church ac knowledge the supremacy of the Queen ? (Hear hear.) If that was so, could it be called a Catholic church ? The amendment of the hon. member for Greenock re moved this difficulty. The probability was that in the colonies the members of the united church of England and Ireland would be in a miserable minority ; but they would get rid of the difficulty that would put them in by adopting the amendment of the hon. member for Greenock. • Mr. DUNLOP said he must persist in his amend ment ; the words proposed by the Solicitor-General would not, in his view, meet the difficulty. The committee divided, and the amendment was ne gatived. Mr. MOWBRAY asked the meaning of the words "bishops and clergy." Would not those terms apply to any bishops and clergy ? There might be a synod of the character of the synod of Thurles in one of the colonies, and the words " lay members of the church of England" would not override the words " bishops and clergy." The SOLICITOR -GENERAL said he should not have consented to the introduction of the words if they had been liable to the interpretation that the hon. teem her put upon them, but they cou!d not be so construed, inasmuch as the preamble spoke of " bishops and clergy of the united churches of England and Ireland in the colonies," and therefore they could apply to no other bishops and clergy. Mr. MANGLES said it appeared to hint very ob jectionable that amendments of this kind should be brought in without notice. Sir J, PAKINGTON opposed the clause as proposed ;o be altered by the Solicitor-General. Mr. G. BUTT said it was quite clear that what was meant was that the bishop of a diocese or the metropo litan should meet with his clergy and lay members, but now, as the Solicitor• General had got it, that all the bishops and laity should meet together. Mr. WALPOLE suggested that the difficulty could be overcome in a proviso ; and after some further con versation the clause was agreed to, the Solicitor-General promising oorefully to reconsider its laugnAge, with a , PARLIAMENTARY DIVISIONS.

The CHAIRMAN then reported progress, and Lord J. RUSSELL said he proposed to resume the committee on Tnesday the 24th. BOUNDARIES SURVEY (IRELAND) BILL. The second reading being moved, . ' Mr. FRENCH asked what was the object of the bill! Sir J. YOUNG replied that it was intended to pro vide for such alterations in boundaries as should be ren dered necessary by the alteration of the course of streams from a circuitous to a straight line. The bill was then read a second time. VENTILATION OF THE HOUSE. Mr. SPOONER brought up the report from the com mittee appointed to investigate the state of the ventila tion of the house. Describing the process by which, with the aid of three steam-engines, what was called fresh air was brought into the house, he characterised the result as thoroughly disgraceful. Two hundred thousand pounds had been spent, and two "ventilation doctors" consulted on the subject, but every change seemed to make matters worse. During the Easter re cess the committee recommended that trials should be made upon a new and simpler principle under the super vision of Mr. Goldsworthy Gurney, who had promised to erect an efficient apparatus at a cost of a few hundred pounds. Sir W. MOLESWORTH submitted that the com mittee had formed their decision upon insufficient evi dence, and deprecated the hasty introduction of new ap paratus without some better founded assurance of its fitness for the purpose required. Mr. BOUVERIE vindicated the industry of the com mittee, and recommended the adoption of their report so fir as to entrust Mr. Gurney with the conduct of some preliminary trials. After some further conversation that course was agreed to, and the recommendation of the committee received the sanction of the house. JUDGMENT EXECUTION BILL. Mr. FRENCH was proceeding to move some additions to the committee on the Judgment Execution Bill, when the house was counted out at half-past twelve o'clock. SHIPPING INT ELLIGE:NCE. CUSTOM-HOUSE.
