EARL GRITS RESOLUTIONS ON THE VIENNA
CONFERENCES.
Lord LYNDHURST wished to ask the noble earl opposite
(Uri Grey) what ewes he seam to pursue with respect to
the motion which stood is his nano for Friday nest ; whr
ther he mess, to deviate from the some which he had in-
tooled to passe, is esseeltsence of the scene of the pro-
viso sight, of which he believed the noble earl was a

spectator.
Berl GREY said he moat undoubtedly was a spectator of
the seem to which the noble and learned lord had adverted.
He meld not say be wee ea edified spectator. (Laughter.) I
He amid only farther say that he wee sot at present aware
of any sufileient mason for his postponing the motion of
which be had given notice. If any reams could be shown
why he ought not to bring it forward he Amid be prepared
to seaside' it.
TM Earl of DERBY said:he did not mean to suggest
any comes to the mobile earl ; but he had understood that he
pagmmed ►is motion in order that it might not interfere
with the very important discussion which had been gemmed
in the other house, and in order that when it came on be
might Mee the advantage of the prestige which would no
doubt have aocompanied the developments la the debate
'bombers, as weU as of the divides which would have
messemd, and be would suggest to hint that similar motives
to t►ese which induced him to postpone his motion till
Friday should now lead him to comsat to a further post-

parent.
Berl GREY said that in misters/ as be had done before
ea a porpossamt, he had not bees influenced by any pet-
ered residerations. It was strongly represented to him
that these who took an interest is the +abject in the other
hems thought it would be disadvantageous to them if he
Weight It forward ; and having undentoed that they were
predetermined to introduce it, he, with groat reluctance,
sad Lein, We own opinion, consented to postpone his
metier
Lewd LYNATIVRBT said he understood that it had been
stated that some aerstiations at Vienna were still pending,
and that It would he astray to the public interest for any
dietaries to take plea until those negotiations were closed.
He was very desires, of Mowing *Mt was the state of those
necrotiatioss.
Easel GRANVILLE said his noble friend (Earl Grey)
who witnessed the scene of the previous evening must be at
least as able to answer the noble and learned lord as him.
melt It was not true, however, that the negotiations at
Vines were cloud. The government was open to receive
say proposition which might lead to • safe end honourable
pease; sad they would, on the other hand, decline any
term which they thought might lead to a contrary result.
The essierasesa, he repeated, were not resod. It was for
the sable earl User, to unaider, and he (Earl Granville)
alleaki he the last person to point out to him, what course
his sear ell kis publie duty would lead him to take. He
made as appeal to the noble east as the part of the govern-
mat; all he amid say wee, that her Majesty's government
would be prepaid to meet the queer= whenever it might
be Mower leeward.
Lost LYNDHURST said thimble earl had stated that
the coaferesees were not closed. Were any negotiations
gorges ? (Hear.) lied say proposition been made by
either of the No powers? and it so, was that proposition
still under consideration, or had it been rejected? Was
there • probability of any further proposition being made,
and bed the government made up its mind as to the period
at which the references should be closed? Than were,
he submitted, important cossideratioas. lie bad never
beard anything more eerie than the statement of the
perantent on this subject. (Hear.)
The 'abject then dropped.
TAB FIBRE COMPANY BILL.
TM Earl of HARD WICKE moved the suspensicn of
lending seder No. 176, in order that this bill might be read
a Ind time. He said he klieg nothing of the promoters,
rapt that their object wee to carry out • new invention
for the sannfacture of paper. From 1840 to 18.54 the eon
suseption of that article increased from ninety-six millions
to am hundred and seventy million pounds per annum,
sad there was great diSculty is providing an adequate sup-
. ply. It bad been recently discovered that flax was en
article which could be used in the manufacture of paper ;
the fibre which remained after the extraction of the
oil being well adapted to the purpose. The order which
steed in the way of the second reading of the bill bad been
suspended is favour of railways and of the electric tele-
graph, ad its suspension in this cue could do no injury to
the public.
Lord REDESDALE said the bill was based en the prin-
ciple of limited liability, and if that were conceded in this
use, tbey Might bombed to concede it in others..
Lord BTANLAY of ALDERLAY thought that no special
ass bad been made eat for the suspension of the standing

order.
After some tenversation, the motion was withdrawn.
LEASE AND SALES OF SETTLED ESTATES BILL. I
The LORD CHANCELLOR said that when he moved
the int reeding of this bill last week he bad stated shortly
the obis* and prevision of this bill ; he would, therefore,
only we that it be mad a second time. Its object seas net
to isterkre with the practice of settling estates, bat only to
remove the obstaelse the p ted ens* persons from
eosin any eattlentest. He proposed to give power to the
Court of Chancery to supply these powers when
omitted; bat if either the will or settlement cos-
taieed say prohibition. either germs or resitiag
by seeessary implication, the court would have no power to

were seat before their lerdslups by the direction of the
Court of Chancery, and the great ezpeese incurred wee
wholly nansemsary. He had that day received a letter from
one el the Tice-Chaaaellon aside( whether the bill woe
likely to pace doting the present sessies, as there was an
estate now in his smart is which it sea desirable to give
these powers, sad be did not wish to pat the estate to the
exposes of a private set of parliameat if the bill was likely
to pare. He had no doubt objections would be raised against
his bill, as it would diminish very mirk:tasty the mein-
meats of professional men; and it would also affect the fees
of their lemiships' house. He proposed to give tenants for
life whit isms into the peeeeesioa of settled estate the power
