The second reading of this Bill was appointed for to day. The Pears present wer e th e L ord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, Lords Stran g f or d an d Lanesb)r Mr. TALBOT appeared at the b ar to offer evidence support of the second reading. Th e pet i t i oner for the Bill was Mr. William Holbrook Tayleur, formerly one of the partners in a principal firm o f Liverpool. I: 1835 he married Miss Heathcote, of Stoke Staffordshire. The pair lived in harmony and happiness until 1842, when they became acquainted with Lord Arthur Lennox, with wham it was alleged tho adultery had br n committed. The intimacy, it was alleged, had been kept up at intervals until 1849, and it was sup posed that improper familiarities had passed between them on different occasions, though no proof could be brought forward until the end of 1849, when, he should be able to show that Mrs. Tayleur had passed the night with Lord Arthur Lennox at her own lodg ings when her husband was absent. Mr. W. Cleveland proved the serving of the bill on Mfrs. Taylenr. Mr. T. G. Wood proved the marriage, which took place in 1835. Captain Phibbs, brother-in-law of the petitioner, spoke to the affection formerly existing between the petitioner and his wife. He was the womt affectionate husband he bad ever seen. Mrs. E.Tart,viho had had charge of Mrs. Tayleur during a long illness, as nurse, deposed that late in the month of November, 1849, while advancing to a state of conva lescence she and Mrs. Tayleur drove out in a cab, and called at the United Service Club, and witness, by Mrs. Tayleur's directions, inquired for Lord Arthur Lennox. That gentleman came, got into the cab, and stayed there for some time. On arriving at home Mrs. Tayleur told witness that Lord Arthur was coming to stay there all night, and directed her (witness) to open the doer for him. Mr. Tayleur was in the country, and witness refused to do so; but when night came Lord Arthur came to the house, and on making a signal outsiee, was admitted by the housemaid. Lord Arthur then went straight into Mrs. Tayleur'o bed-room, ard as witness had occasion to go into the bed-room several times to give Mrs. 1 1 Tayleur her medicine , she saw that Lord Arthur 'll Lennox was in bed with Mrs. Tayleur. H e remained there until morning, and let himself out by a private door. The same was repeated on the next night, and on each occasion she saw Lord Arthur in bed with Mrs. Taylenr. Anna Ashe, who was in the employ of Mrs. Tayleur, as housemaid, at the period of the occurrence, corrobo rated the statement of the former witness. She admitted Lord Arthur Lennox into the house; he went into Mrs. Tayieur's bed-room, where he remained all night. Next morning she informed the butler Smith of what had occurred. John Smith, butler to Mr. Tayleur, deposed that r n receiving information from the last witness of what had occurred he immediatAy %rote to his master to apprise him of what had taken place. Evidence was put in to prove that an action had been brought aga i nst L ord Arthur L ennox , and a verdict tor 5004 damages obtained. DUBLIN, SATURDAY.-Sir James House of Commons, evenings ago, in his place in the Ilou of that the Irish Act which prohibited the assumption led in the Graham stated some titles by Roman Catholic bishops was repealed one of the year 1793. Now, I have the authority of . most respectable solicitors in this country—lf a about recognised head of the profession—to state th _ ar. thirty-five years ago he was engaged in a trial at C rickfergus, when:Dr. Derry, a Roman bishop. was pro ducednot the to give the prisoner a character. Mr. Alexander Hamilton, Q.C., introduced him as the Roman Catholic Bishop of Dromore, when Judge Fletcher called the Learned Counsel to order, and requested that he would style the witness legally, as simply Mr. Hamilton must know, aa well as he did, that there was a law in force which forbade the assumption of Dr. Derry, for surely titles by the Roman Catholic hierarchy. Mr. Hamilton bowed to the decision of the bench, and the witness was examined as if he were a mere clergyman of the Romish Church. Now, Sir James Graham may be old enough to recol lect that Judge Fletcher enjoyed the reputation of being one of the soundest lawyers of his time, and the gr eat probability is the Act t o w h ich he referred has never been repealed, and is consequently in full force at the present day.—Herald. ,_ Peru Tuscany* .. • • • • West Ilidies • .

THE " IRISH COURT " The Ministerial announcement on Friday evening re specting the intention of Government to abandon the projected measure for the aboliti on o f the Viceroyalty has diffused great joy among the partisans of " the Castle" and afforded a portion of the press fresh grounds for exultation at the recent system of tactics played off by the Irish brigade, to the potent ag enc y o f whose " vote" i s a ttributed, perhaps fairly, Lord John Russell's deference to the voice of public opinion upon this ques tion of aboliti.n. Of conr3e, considering the state of " business," this was only to be expected, and the an nouncement has created but little surprise at this side of the Channel. Indeed, considering the strange e vents which have charact er i se d th e Parliamentary session since its commencement, it may be doubted whether the ultimate abandonment of the Aggression Bill itself would cause any marked astonishment, or be regarded as anything more than one of the incidents of the year of the Great Exhibition. The omission of all reference in the Speech from the Throne to the Lord-Lieutenantcy was from the first deemed tolerably conclusive evidence that there was no serious intention, at least at present, to plunge deeper into this sea of " Irish difficulties." NESS ANGLING. —Th e first clean•run salmon o f the season, taken by the fly, was caught last Friday by the Master of Lovat, in that part of the Nees called the " Black Stream," on the side rented by Sir John Rivett Carnac, Bart. The fish weighed eleven pounds. On the same day, and near the same spot, A. P. G. Cumming, Esq., landed a beautiful trout, fifteen pounds weight. We are glad to learn that a number of our rivers are now giving fair sport to anglers. The Hehnsdale has already a number of gen tlemen located on its banks, viz., Robert Wilson, Esq , cap tain Dickenson, Captain Healy, Geo. Bateson, Esq., S. Had win, Esq., and a friend, and Mr. Meredith. The Brora river is iu the hands of Edward Akroyd, Esq., who is now there, along with a friend, tempting the finny treasures from their rocky beds. The Master of Lovat caught two salmon in the River Batuly on Monday.—lnverness Courier. REPRESENTATIoN OF ENNISKILLENT.-- A vacancy will be immediately created by the resig nation of the Hon. Henry Cole, next brother to the Earl `AMENT i 1851. to whom the duty was intrusted. There was an obvious and clear advantage, however, in the whole ecelesiastical patrona7e of the Crew e t. aod as ai. : • • . kiaLd i,Le l IlWb aiioister, Litre was a clear econo r of time in pl ac i ng t h e whole of it in his hand.— my (R ear. Lord LYNDHURST asked whether it was true tha t t it was propos e d t o g i ve a discretionary power to the appeal Judges of the Court of Chancery, to prevent an ape( al. from their de c i s i ons to their Lordship's Rouse? The LORD CHANCELLOR replied, that it had been under consideration whether appeals in matters of prac tice should not be restrained, but they were found to have been so tew that it was not deemed worth while legis lating upon that point. There was therefore no such clause in the Bill. Lord REDESDALE suggested an important alters. tion in the appellate jurisdiction of their Lordships' Home. Their Lordships were aware that all inquiries respecting the Peerage were carried on in that House by a Committee of Privileges. Their Lordships delegated their judicial po wers to the Committee, and it sat in the House. The Committee reported its decision to the House, and the House confirmed it. Here, then, wa s an ancient practice of judicial inquiry on oath before the House. Why, upon this precedent, should not an ap pellate Committee be framed? There was no constitu tional objection to such a Committee sitting after the prorogation of Parliament. It might also be found ad visable to transfer to this Committee all other appellate jurisdiction, so as to constitute the Committee a great court of appeal. This would tend to diminish expense, because appeals might be brought directly before th e Committee, instead of going previously to another tribunal, as frequently happened now. It appeared that the Government Bill had not yet been introduced into the Commons, and it was prob a bl e , l oo ki ng to the state of business before that Assembly, that it would not reach their Lordships before July or August, when it would be impossible the measure could receive the con sideration which its importance demanded. It appeared to him that the present discussion was neither ill-timed nor disorderly, and he hoped the Lord Chancellor Would be prepared to submit a measure to the House et an early period respecting the appellate jurisdiction. Lord BROUO+IIAM protested in the most decided manner against the Noble Baron's proposition for re moving all appellate jurisdiction to that House. The Court of Appeal of the Privy Council bad given un mixed satisfaction to the profession, the bench, and suitors, both in this country and the colonies. The Lord Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench, some years 'ago, attempted to do something like what the Noble Baron recommended, but the attempt was at once dis sipated by a powerful and unanswerable statement made by his Noble and Learned Friend (Lord Lyndhurst). Here the conversation ended. Earl FITZ WILLIAM presented some petitions against Papal aggression. —Adjourned. head of the Government whether, when the Dean lanebester was appointed, it wa understood that • . , -. • so:ae.. Lord JOHN RUsaaELL ssia taut when Dr. Bowers Ps appointed he bad informed him generally of what f ight probably be expected of him, hut he had made no auditions with him on the subject. THE STAMP-OFFICE NUISANCE. Mr. SCHOLEFIELD wished to ask the Chancellor d the Exchequer whether, in the practice of the Board d Inland Revenue, all monthly publications, containing es, are held to be liable to the payment of stamp d ty; also, what is the cause of delay in the prosecu - on of the suit against the publication of an unstampcd cwspaner, edited by Mr. Charles Dickees, and called, nrhe Household Narrative of Current Events." The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said wt h regard to the first question, it was a matter of law w ith he could not decide. As to the second question, h i could give no answer at all to it. FRIENDLY SOCIETIES. fr. HENRY A. HERBERT wished to ask the Chan cepr of the Exchequer, whether the registrar of f r isdly societies was authorised by the Government, or h ,ibe Commissioners for th e R e d uct i on of the National d er , to state at a public meeting, held at St. Helen's, in Ap ia,lBso, il that a Bill would, w i t h out doubt, be iname- did ly passed by the Legislature, giving to de posws in savings bank s G overnment security for their, investments ; whether it was under the me dion of either the Government or the Commis ulisjoners for the Reduction of the National Debt, that the aid Registrar of F r i en dl y S o bi et i ei recommended at St. iel'n's the formation of a new institution (the old one laving failed), and a d v i se d part i es to deposit their „ v ie, on the grounds that future frauds would be im pcsdle; and whe:her the Government will be respon athisfor any losses that may accrue to depositors, either at S u t ': elsewhere, who may have b een i n d uce d by ttrilesdlnveic's of this public officer to invest their money in a f vings b an k? T t i i CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was udei ttood to reply in the negative. METROPOLITAN BUILDINGS. • m r ,B. OSBORNE wished to know whether it was i nteu pd to proceed with the Metropolitan Building Act pendment Bill to-night. Lord SEMOUR said it was not, but he hoped to be a b le t oroe4 e d with it before Easter. ARMY IN INDIA. c e iael i3UNNE should be glad to know from the Hon. ie Secretary at War whether the rule that no regiusilt should remain in India beyond fifteen years wcuid p carried out in future? Mr.F O X MAULE replied in the affirmative. The n orse guards had established a rule that a regiment i b eni deot remain in India more than five years. SUPPLY. On oe motion for going into Committee of Supply, M r. tiUME reminded the House that on Friday night R oe voted the 98,714 men fr the army, and 3,500,0001. as part of the army estimates for the year. The Go vernmeit would be treating the Committee up-stairs, which was sitt ing on the ordnance estimates, in a slighting manner if they proceeded with the votes until their report Was laid on t h e ta bl e. H e presumed the Government had withdrawn their Budget with the view of reconsidering and amending it ; b ut in what s i tuation did they leave the country by delay? It was their duty to prevent as much as possible the inconveniences which might arise front cho p of taxation, but they had taken a course w hi ch ws ,calculated to increase rather than to diminish the evil. The timb er and coffee trades were complet e ly at a st a nd in con sequence of the uncertainty which existed relative to th e d etermination of the Government Is to th e defy the oecu on those articles, and pending also the settlem e nt of the window -tax, arrangements respecting plated.

The following Bill was read a second time : Magneto-Electric Telegraph Company. The reports on the Manchester Parish Highways Bill and the Sheffieid and Glossop Road Bill were considered and agreed to. PREFERENCE STOCK IN RAILWAYS. Mr. W. PATTEN moved the following resolution instead of standing order No. 128:—That in every rail way Bill, by which it i; proposed to authorise the company to grant any preference or priority in the payment of interest or dividends on any shares or stock, there be inserted a clause, providing that the granting of such preference or priority shall not prejudice or affect any preference or priority in the payment of interest or dividends on any other shares or stock which shall have been granted by the company, in pursuance of, or which may have been confirmed by any previous Act of Parliament, or which may other wise be lawfully subsisting, unless the Committee on the Bill reports that such alteration ought to be allowed, with the reasons on which the opinion is founded. Sir R. H. INGLIS considered this would be a very injurious proposition, if intended to deal with existing rights and interests. Mr. GLADSTONE considered that the resolution might be made more comprehensive. After some observations from Mr. Greene, Mr. Henley, and other Hon. Members, the resolution was agreed to. ~~~'.. Mr. HUME said he would persevere in his motion that money be only voted on account.—(Hear.) Mr MO WATT hoped they would get some little in formation with respect to New Sauth Wales and Ca nada. With respect to the former place, he believed it would be the greatest boon that could be conferred on the colony to take away every soldier from it. In that case we should be obliged to give them the management of their own affairs. Mr. F. MAULE said his Noble Friend the Noble Earl at the head of the Colonial -office (Earl Grey) had stated that the number of troops in New South Wales should be reduced to the lowest number possible, and such as wt re deemed sufficient to protect the country; but if the colony required any more, that it should be at their own expense. He did not think the lion. Gen tleman spoke the sentiments of the people of New South Wales when he suggested the entire withdrawal of troops therefrom.—(Hear.) It was not the intention of Government to reduce the number of troops in Canada. Colonel DUNNE complained of the number of officers of the higher grade who were enrolled in the Guards in. comparison to the regiments of the line. He conceived the superior advantages possessed by the household troops in pay and otherwise was an injustice to the other branches of the service. The Hon. and Gallant Mem ber went into a statistical detail of the emoluments in pay, from stock purses, hospital allowances, and other sources possessed by officers of a certain rank in the Guards, and contrasted that with the position of officers of the line, contending that the former had a consider able advantage over the latter. He did not see how his Right Hon. and Gallant Friend the Secretary -at-War (Mr. F. Mnule) could say the Guards were a "cheap corps; " he thought them a very expensive corps. Mr. MACGREGOR only wished to make a few ob servations on a financial point of view. When such large Slims were voted, and the people of this country called upon to meet them by heavy taxation, it became them to see that the expenditure was as economical as possible. Yet there was no means o f reducing that ex ex- penditure except by the mode pointed out by the Hoe. Member for Montrose. Now, with respect to Canada, all the men they could send there would not keep that place loyal if the people themselves were not disposed to be so. There was a militia there of no less than 120,000 men, all of whom were as good shots as any in the Bri tish army. The few men, therefore, whom we had there scattered up and down throughout the country, were principally useful in Eerving as a military example to the militia of the colony. Ile thought also, a few hundre d men would do in New South Wales. As to the Kafir war, he believed many of the inhabitants of kthe colony were more favourable to it than otherwise, on account of the increased expenditure which it would cause. As to Ireland, he could not see why there should be a greater number of troops there, in proportion to the number of the inhabitants, than there was in Scotland. If Ireland were properly governed and treated with justice, they would want no army there. He did not see why his Hon. Friend the Member for Montrose (Mr. Hums) should divide the House on that occasion. It was sure to be carried against him.—(Hear.) If there was one thing whi c h th a t H ouse di d more rashly than another, it was in voting aw a y the people's money; how ever, he hoped there would be greater care hereafter in the expenditure of the army, and that all proper economy would be put in practice. Mr. HUME said, upon looking at the amount pro posed, he could not believe that the military expendi ture of the country for the year would be so large au it was set down; he had therefore moved that the money be voted on account, and he should persevere in his mo tion, however sorry he might be to put the House to any inconvenience. —(Hear, and Divide.) Colonel LINDSAY could not allow the statements of the Hon. and Gallant Member opposite (Col. Donne) with respect to the alleged superior advantages of the Guards over the line to go forth to the public un controverted. There was no such advantages of emo lument possessed by the former over the latter as had been stated. At the time their rank had been given to the Guards, there had been but 17 regiments in our army, and out of these no less than 11 were raw -recruits hastily raised to meet the rising of the Duke of Mon mouth. When once a person entered the army he wry aware of those peculiarities of the Guards, and therefore it should not be called a grievance at all. With ruspect to their hospital arrangements, there was nothing of profit in those, but rather the reverse; he would glee., as an instance, that his corps engaged a building at the ex pense of 1,0001., which they contributed thems&ves, and they could only have it for 12 years, when they should be at additional expense. Of that the State bad not been asked to pay one penny.—(Hear, hear.) The lion. and Gallant Member also went into a detailed accom et of the different items of pay to respective ranks, to show that there was not such a discrepancy as had been al leged.—(Hear, hear, and Divide.) Colonel ESTCOURT would pass over the condition of the commissioned officers, but wished to call the at tention of the House to the pay of sergeants in the army. According to the good-conduct warrant, introduced by his Hon. Friend the Member for South Wilts, every pri vate received Id. additional to his pay after five years' service, and 2d. after ten years, when he might be pro. moted to be a corporal. But supposing a man promoted to be a sergeant be received Is. 10d. a day, but all his po,. good-conduct r ay ceased. Now should that man p rove unfortunate and be reduced t o a commoner in the ranks. again, he only received l s . a d ay, while, if a corral for some minor offence was r e d uce d, h e still received his good-conduct additional pay along with his I s , a d a y. Such he considered a great injustice in the working of system which was otherwise good.—(Hear, and divide.) Colonel DUNNE, in explanation, said all he had com plained of was, that there was not the same proportion of officers in the Guards and in the line- With respect: to the expenses of hospitals, he thought the Government ought to pay that.—(Hear, bear, and cries of "Divide.") Mr. F. MAULE ros e to address the Committe, but sat down without doin g so. as several Hon. Members stood up at the s ame t i me. Mr. HENLEY said be wi s h ed to the Right toot.H.

He would suggest alit ti might be well to p ro d ace for the future som e account showi ng how the benefit money had been disposed of. Mr. F. MAULE said that, according to the return for the year 1830, the number of depositors in the sa vings banks had been 7,859, and the amount deposited had b een 94,9611; but that return comprehended nei ther thesis interested in benefit societies nor the funds be longing to them. The money belonging to the benefit societies was lodged in the public funds, and wa s administered on the recommendation of the com manding officers, with the consent of the Se cretary at War. He could have no desire to conceal the manner in which the funds had been die- Posed of, and he shonld be quite ready to give an annual account of the way in which they had been expended. With regard to the remarks which had been made on the position of the sergeants, he had to observe that that was a point of very considerable importance, for it was one which related to the interests ef a most meritorious class in the British army. Various complaints had been made of the treatment of the sergeants, and some of those complaints he was disposed to think were well founded, while others were not so well founded in his opinion. It shouni be remembered that many of the sergeants had been but a few 3 ears in the army when they had been raised to that rank, and that, alter having attained it, they sergeant majors were every year being promoted to the rank might bees me sergeant-majors; and as of become open to the m.

ELLICE appeared at the bar, and reported that certain witnesses, whose evidence was considered necessary, bad either been withdrawn or absented them selves, for the purposes of avoiding service of the Speaker's warrant; and that one person, who was parti cularly active in securing the election of the sitting Member, and on whom the Speaker's warrant had been served, had not made his appearance; the Committee, therefore, requOsied that they might be allowed to ad journ their proceedings until eleven o'clock on Thursday next, in order to have an opportunity of procuring the attendance of the witnesses.—Agreed to.

The way in which the 15,000 troops were tented was unjust to the rest, the majority of whom did duty abroad, and were subjected to great risks and privations. He thought the army ought to be entirely remodelled --that the service of all the troops ought to be universal, and to pet army allowed to remain at home and shore all honours without having done anything to entitle them to those honours. Mr. VERNON SMITH thought the Hon. Member had wsndered from the subject before the House. He deprecated the system of taking votes on account, because it often happened that when the other half was proposed to bo taken, it was too late to enter on the discussion of the subject, lie understood that his Right lion. Friend (Mr. Fox Maule) only proposed to take those votes which were absolutely necessary to-day. Mr. F. MAULE said it was his intention to proceed with the army estimates to-night in the usual way. He agreed that the system of taking votes on account was objectionable, and tended to stifle discussion. He dif fered from the lion. Member for Montrose with respect to the household troops. He regarded them as part and parcel of the state and royalty of the kingdom, and they ought to be maintained on that account. But they were also a guard over a metropolis full of wealth of all kinds. He believed the rest of the army, if they had the choice, would not seek a routine of duty which included the me tropolis. The pay of the officers of the Guards was a trifle higher than that of the officers of the line; but then no barracks were allowed them, and they had to find their own 10 - ?ging, One very good reason for cot bringing regiments of the line to do duty in London was, that the men were not acclimated.—(oh.) It had been found whenever regiments of the line had been brought to London that they lost infinitely more men than the Guards, who were in the habit of doing duty in the me tropolis. It was not true that the Guards were never sent out of London. They had formed part of the expe ditions to Portugal, to Canada, and were called on al ways in an emergency. Ile believed there was not a finer body of men in the world.--(Hear.) Mr. HUME never intended to cast any reflection on the Guards. All he meant to say was, that the troops of the line were as good soldiers as the Guards. It was absurd to say that the Guards were the only troops who could protect the metropolis.—(Hear.) Colonel RLID rose amid cries of "Divide." Ile said the number of officers in the Guards was not greater than in the troops of the line. With respect to the officers of the army generally, it might be said, consider ing the sums which they paid for their commissions, and the interest of their money, that they served the State gratuitously.—(Hear, and Divide.) Mr. WILLIAMS said he also had an amendment to propose, which he was not sure whether he could then move or not, The CHAIRMAN asked the Hon.

APPELLATE JURISDICTION OF THE HOUSE OF LORDS—CHANCERY REFORM. Lord LYNDHURST rose to direct the attention of their Lordships to the Bill for the reform of the Court of Chancery, which had been introduced into the other House, and to the Bill respecting the appellate jurisdic tion, which was about to be introduced into this House, and those subjects were so intimately connected that it would be impossible to discuss the measures separately. His Noble and Learned Friend on the woolsack was affected by both Bills, and therefore they must be dis cussed as one measure. If one Bill should be lost, and the other carried, it would involve matters in the most inex tricable confusion. He asked why the whole measure was not introduced into their Lordships' House?—(Hear, hear.) He believed there had never been an instance in which Bills relating to the Court of Chancery had not been introduced into their Lordships' House, and why, he asked, had that precedent been departed from in the present instance? There was not an assembly better calculated in the world to introduce and to perfect a measure of this nature than that he had now the honour of addressing. How was it composed? There was his Noble and Learned Friend on the woolsack, a most accomplished lawyer, there were two Members who had held the office of Lord Chancellor, there was a Noble and Learned L or d w h o h ad recently retired from the Rolls, and who had for years exercised the office of Master of the Rolls with great credit to hiniself; they had his Noble and Learned Friend who had recently been raised to their Lordships' House; there was the Lord Chi e f J ust i ce of England, and tere was his Noble and Learned Friend, who had long been one of the Masters in Chancery, and who had subsequently been an officer of their Lordships' House. There was his Noble Friend the Chairman of Committees, who had paid great attention to the subject, and several other Noble Lords, who were well acquainted with the position of the House and of the courts. Why then had this Bill not been presented to this House? It had been promised last session, it had been mentioned in the Speech from the Throne, and it was not introduced until just before Easter. Had it been originated in this House, it would have been carried, ma tured, perfected, and sent down to the other House before this period. He, therefore, asked why thi s unprece dented cour se had been adopted? The only reason he could imagine was, that the Government would not put into the bands of the Noble Lord on the wool sack so utterly worthless a measure. Its ten dency could not but be to increase the num ber of appeals to this House. If this new tribunal should reverse the decrees of the great lawyers who presided in the courts below, suitors would not acqui esce, but would a p pea l to their Lordships. He had heard that there was an intention to infringe upon their Lordships' privileges, by taking away in certain cases the right of appeal to their Lordships. He could not believe that such intention existed. He was anxious for some explanation on this subject. He had been told that the reason why the Bill originated in the House of Commons was because it was intended to transfer the Church patronage of his Noble and Learned Friend to the First Lord of the Treasury, al ready sufficiently burdened with patronage. Of course the Noble Lord at the head of the Government could not have asked his Noble and Learned Friend to com mit such a suicidal act. Never were more fallacious reasons offered for, such a measure than those offered for this change. One reason was, that the patronage had been used by the holders of the Great Seal for party purposes. He denied that it had ever been so used. He could say that he had never, in his distribution of Church patronage, been actuated by any such mot i ves . (Hear, hear.) His first important piece of patronage he had given to the late Rev. Sidney Smith, from whom he differed in politics. But was it less likely to be distributed without reference to party by the First Lord of the Treasury than by the holder of the Great Seal?— (Hear, hear.) There was another reason assigned. His Noble and Learned Friend on the woolsack was oppressed by the weight of his duties, and it was necessary to relieve him, but the distribution of this patronage was but a feather in the scale of the burden weighing on the Lord Chancellor. This was the lightest burden with which the Lord Chancellor was oppressed. Another reason given was that the Laid Chancellor was apt to be influenced by the recommendation of livings, but the First Lord of the Treasury might be influenced by a clerk in his office. The alteration had been re commended by a Committee of the House of Commons —that is to say, by a Committee appointed by the First Lord of the Treasury, and composed of his partisans ; and that Committee, without hearing the Chancellor decides that it is advisable to transfer this patronage from the Lord Chancellor to the First Lord of the Treasury. It was said that the Great Seal had been held by ecclesiastics when this patronage was originally attached to it ; but the Great Seal had been held uninterruptedly by laymen for the last 200 years. Would such an attempt have been made when the Gnat Seal was held by Lord Thurlow, or Lord Eldon, or his Noble and Learned Friend near him (Brougham)? and be felt convinced that his Noble and Learned Friend on the woolsack would not submit to such a degrada tion, but transmit the patronage of his office unimpaired to his successor. He wished to know why the usual practice of introducing Bills relating to the Court of Chancery into the House had been departed from in these cases. The LORD CHANCELLOR thought his Noble and Learned Friend must have forgotten all the rules of their Lordships' House. He had been discussing two things called Bills, neither of which bad been introduced into either House of Parliament The Bill of which his Noble and Learned Friend had spoken bad not yet been introduced into the other IL 'use of Parlia ment. Various draughts had been prepared, and he supposed his Noble and Learned Friend must have got hold of one of those draughts, and have been alluding to clauses which never were likely to be brought before Parliament.—(Hear.) He could assure his Noble and Learned Friend that there was no intention whatever to interfere with their Lordships' appellate jurisdiction. His attention had been attracted to the subject, and it had rested with him solely to move for a Committee. Several Bills for the reform of the Court of Chancery had been introduced into their Lordships' House, but they had never reached the House of Com mons. Was it astonishing, therefore, that the opinion of the other House should be asked upon a measure which had already been discussed in the House of Lords? It was a most inconsistent course to enter into a dis cussion on imaginary clauses of an imaginary , Bill. Be would not be led on by the ex ample of his Noble and Learned Friend to commit so monstrous an irregularity. The subject of Chancery reform was one of extreme diffi nifty. His Noble and Learned Friend bad proposed several measures on that subject, but he had never suc ceeded in propounding a measure satisfactory to Parlia ment. In answer to his Noble and Learned Friend, be said that the matter having been repeatedly discussed in their Lordships' House without any Bill having been sent down to the House of Commons, his Noble Friend at the head of the Government thought it expedient to take the opinion of the House of Commons, and he thought that the course adopted by his Noble and Learned Friend, in asking a question to hang a speech upon it, was not in order, and was not calculated to add to the respect which the House of Commons would entertain for their Lordships' House. Lord BROUGHAM considered that bow extraordi nary soever might have been the question of his Noble and Learned Friend, the answer to it was more extraordinary still, inasmuch as it was no answer at all. His Noble and Learned Friend asked the reason why this measure was intro duced into the House of Commons, and the answer was that his Noble and Learned Friend had no doubt there was a good reason, but be did not know what it was. It was clear from what had fallen from his Noble and Learned Friend on the woolsack, that the Bill was no Bill of his, and that he was not answerable for it; and, under these cir cumstances, be thought is would be better to abstain from discussing the measure, although be would not abstain from entering his pro test against all attempts at stripping the Great Seal of its ecclesiastical patronage. The holder of the Great Seal had never used that patronage for party pur poses. The first piece of preferment which he gave away was a prebendal stall, and that he bad given to the Bishop of Exeter ; the second was to a friend of Sir F. Pollcck, who was opposed to the Government of which he was a member; and the third was to a gentleman named Cole ridge, who was also opposed to him, and he handed over to the prelates the gift of all livings under 200/. a year; and against that sacrifice he had received a strong re monstrance from several party men. Earl GREY said, that nothing could be more inaccu rate than to say that the Lord Chancellor had not an swered the question. He bad answered the question, and given a very good reason why the Bill should be introduced into the Commons instead of into their Lord ships' Hoirse.—(Hear, hear.) He (Earl Grey) would add another reason to that which had been stated by his Noble and Learned Friend, and that was, that the pros pect of successful legislation was greater in a vast ma jority of instances when Bills were first introduced into the House of Commons than when they originated in their Lordships' House.—(Bear, hear.) If he was not mistaken he had heard the Noble and Learned Lord op posite express a similar opinion. With regard to the irregularity of their Lordships' proceedings, he believed that what had been said by the Noble Lord (Lord Brougham) was too true, and he believed that the irre gularity to which he had referred—viz., that of discuss ing questions not before the House, dated from the time the Noble and Learned Lord became a Member of the House.—(Laughter.) He denied also that the Noble and Learned Lord on the woolsack had disclaimed any share in the preparation of the Bill. The fact was that his Noble and Learned Friend could not have said so, because, with out betraying any secrets, he (Lord Grey) would say that the Bill bore at least as much the impression of his Noble and Learned Friend's mind as that of any other person's. He was surprised to hear the Noble and Learned Lord opposite (Lord Lyndhurst) speak of the ecclesiastical f patrona ge that duty of the were properly Lor doneChancellord i a t wsraes one quir whichinglittleotuigmhet. If to occupy a very large portion of time, whoever it was Mr. COWAN presented several petitions from Edin burgh against Papal aggression; also petitions against the present mode of assessing the income-tax.

Mr. HUME gave notice that he should to-morrow move that a petition be presented to her Majesty praying that Sir James Brooke be superseded in his government of the Polynesian Islands, and that an investigation should be instituted into his conduct.—(Hear, hear.) ROMAN CATHOLIC BISHOPSIN THE COLONIES. Lord JOHN MANNERS begged to ask the Noble Lord at the bead of the Government whether the regu lations which gave precedence to the Roman Catholip bishops in the colonies —whose appointment, it should be recollected, emanated not from the Queen, but from the Pope—which had been issued under the authority of the British Government, were still in existence, and if they were, whether there was any intention on the part of the Government to do away with or to alter them? Lord J. RUSSELL said that, in answer to the Noble Lord's first question, he had to say that the regulations were still in force; but with respect to the other inquiry he could give no answer. THE KAFIR WAR. Mr. HUME said that as this country was largely in terested in the expense of the Kafir war, ho wished to know whether the Government had taken any measures to relieve the colony of the Cape of Good Hope from a purely military Government, for Sir H. Smith seemed intent rather upon the aggrandisement of his military reputation than the welfare of the colony. He wished to know what answer had been received to the last dis patch? Mr. HAWES said that no answer had as yet been re. ceived, but that Sir Harry Smith was in no way an swerable for the expenses occasioned by the contest with the Kafirs. THE BALLOT. Mr. H. BERKELEY wished to ask his Noble Friend at the head of the Government, whether in the projects which he intended to bring into the House for the future government of the country, he intended to introduce any measure for securing the ballet?—(Laughter.)
