Lothair is a noble orphan of vut possessions, one of

has seceded to the Church of Rome, and who, appearing
at the tine the story opens, iii full-fiedged honours as

English prelate who, his believed, shortly will reach that
eminent eonditson. In London society Luther is
received in two hot see as the child of the family. One

HOUSE OF COMMONS,

prolonged discussion. Mr. Heade.= having withdrawn his

Mr. D. BROMLEY thought the inquiry .ught to take place, If
only to distal the impression which had poseesaion of the public
mind in reelect of monastic institutions.
Mn. GLAMTnIte explained what course the Government meant
to take. He frankly admitted that h:: regretted the decision
to which the House had come, Blase it had voted in favour of
Me. Nesiiilegsle's motion for she appointment of the 'select com-
mittee, bemuse he thought that such • committee wool& do
no good, and would leave • balance f evil and He
would, therefore vote against the retention '4th. order for the
appointment of the select committee. On the other hood, he
would not give an unqualified assent to Mn. Coiran's motion
for that purpere. Out of didereore to the decision already
prtinouneed by the House, he would not, by a formal vote
signify an aleolu'e denial of the proposition that the conventual
system of angimd demanded Minn. But, to give the Inquiry
a practical Win, and to save the feelings of th. Roman Catholic
co. omunity, he propneed to eliminate from the term. f Mr.
Newdegate'a motion all reference', the" existence, character,
and Increase" of the connote, and confine it to the question of
the property which was held in trust for their use, and of the
law under which that property was maintained. The discipline
nt the convent., the treatment i 4 the nuns and monk., the
kind of mshority esercieed by the bishops, the manner in
which It wa• put forth, and all the other subjs. to which would
fall under the head of an inquiry into the character of the
Institutions, were to be left out of view. Nothing wee kept
but the questions, from what property do the convents benefit,
how is it held, by whom, under what law, subject to what
conditions, and are these conii•10111 fair?
