of Glasgow and Ayr, to the mme and also against
the menmption of the title of "bishop," by any sect or
body of Christian.. lle begged to say he could not agree
with the latter port of the prayer of the petition.
After • few word. from the Ihehop of Ltsnr, ar.
Lord CAMPBELL said the Supreme Court of Scotland
hod decided that the assumption of titles was contrary to
Law.
SPIRITUAL PROVISION.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE presented • petition
from the district of Wool, in the diocese of Saiisbury,
county of Dorsetaliire, complaining that sinee the subdivi-
sion of the locality into several parishes, in POI, a great
want of spiritual control and general provision prevailed,
in consequence of one clergyman (a. the noble marquis
was understood) having to perform the duties of the several
piri.hes. Ile prayed that adequate spiritual provision
should be mule, in order to remedy such • state of things.
The Bishop of SALISBURY thanked the noble marquis
for the kiwi manner in which he intneltieed the subject. The
population of Wool nunalre red about KO, the income attaching
to the parish being about 1001. • year. Previous to Dill al
rt..ident curate was stationed at %Vail, which was distant
some lire or six mike from the parish church. Ile (the
Redeli of Salisbury) gave his consent to the formation of
Wool into a separate district in 1101, on the representation
th it the erekomtical coinmiesioners were pousested of

i•mt funds to endow the district. Ile regretted to say be
rwe iliwsppointed in that expectation; inasmuch u the
fun& et their disptewl went alworbed by previous demands.
Ile had owl. :11,011T11;11. in the mean time, to obtain the ser-
vices of a curate in the parish ; and he hoped to he able to
I Olititote the miui•trationa ot that umithanan until thc matter
should be finally arranged. (Hear, hear)
NAV IUATION L. . .

The Nonni, prtse .nted a petition.
signed lay 41111 of the shipowners of Shield..., who complained
that, in con-equente of the repeal of the novigatiini laws,
together with the impt duct legidation tl at earned an re--
fan nee to the management of railway., and the charges
made by their diracton, they were much di pressed. Ihe
traol,• is walsiale nail. particularly, as al,o groat portion of
the coa.ting trade of the rountry, were now to a great ca-
t' sat minopolisenl by the railways. Thu patitionen prayed
On if le.rokhiin would eau.: ionic TlltSllllls to he adopted
having for their object the placing of all parties, shippers
and railway proprietor,. on an rqud footing.
The Earl of beei,real to summit to the
pi•titioner, that they ware nut entirely destroyed by the pro-
railways, igthough placed iu a very critical posi-
tion. Ile ilOtlCti steam swan& would enable them to
maintain their competition nab the railway, in the nava-
ing trails. Indeed, he under.taxad that in Newc..ntle at
present there were for staamen, on the propeller prin-
ciple, preivering to convey coals to bindon, it being calcu-
lated that the voyage from there to London and buck could
he accompli,ll,ll iu lour or live days. No railway would be.
ablo to out..trip drat; and, a, the vessels would be freighted
with fuel, the cost of .teani would thus be much cheapened.
Lord 14..11' MONT said than petitioners complained that
proportionate eharg, a on the same article from all lowali-
ti,.. wen• inn made. The northern line charged higher on
rind, going 111 mile. north of London than they did ou
owl, going in an opposite dinetion, and the petitioners
prayed tkat proportionate ebarge, should be a aeon-el.
After • w words from the Duke of Deet.i.seun, which
were quite inaudible,
Earl tiltAN VILLE said that, whil,t tulinitting the
grievance of which the petitioner, complainol, a gnat
deal remained to i.e ',aid against any alteration of the law.
Lionl 111:1,LADALD: was understood to support the prayer
air the petition.

lion that the re peal of Ow Navigation Law, had been of
