On the motion of the CHANT ZLLOR of the Ex-

rising edj,.ll7ii till Thursday, and that the sittings
on Thursday and Friday be from 12 to 6.
Coo eel (I.li.r!sr inquired whether the naval re-
view t,0;11.: t.:ke place.
Tho CHAN•!ELLOR of the EXCHIE4tER replied that
thst depe.,iled on circiuustances over which he
Could have no control.

Lord 14TA Nunr said, as far as he was aware, the
review would take place.
At a subsequent period of the evening,
The Sea/MICR read a telegram which had been
received at the Admiralty from Portsmouth, stating
that it was blowing a gale, and that, unless it mode-
rated, the review could not take place ; but that it
was possible the Sultan and the Pacha of Egypt
night steam through the fleet.
Mr. (Mamma moved that the house will, on a
itature day, resolve itself into committee for the
purpose of considering the expediency of granting
el loan of a million to be laid out in the purchase of
landed estates. which may be offered for sale in
the Landed Estates Court, the land to be resold
in sulxhvitled farms of 10 to 100 acres each.

Lord NAA., opposed the motion, and it was with-
drawn.

Sir G.'MONTuOMERY obtained leave to bring in
• bill for tlw relief of widows and issue of intestates
in Scotland where the succession is of small
value.

Mr. 0. HARDY obtained leave to bring in s bill
for facilitating the distribution of sewage matter
over land, and otherwise amending the law relating
to sewer ::uthorities.

.
Sir It. PALMER, in moving the second reading of
the Inems.i.: of the Episcopate Bill, said its object
was to gibe power for the creation of three new
bishoprics, one in Cornwall, separating that county
from the diocese of Exeter ;one in Southwell, in Not-
tinglianishire, which would form part of the present
dioceses of Ripon and Lichfield ; and St. Alban's,
forming part of the present diocese of Rochester.
The source of the endowment was to be voluntary
subscriptions. There was a clause at the end of
the bill virtually empowering the Ecclesiastical
Commissioners to devote part of the funds at their
disposal towards the endowment. But that clause
did not form part of the original scheme, and at
the proper time he should move that it be
mpueged. It was not proposed to add to the
Lumber of bishops sitting in the House of Lords,
but these new bishops would succeed in their turns
to a seat in that assembly.

Mr. 'trim moved the rejection of the bill. He
jubmitted that there were bishops enough, and
suggested th-it instead of raising half a million of
money to endow three bishoprics, it would be better
if charity were bestowed upon poor curates, some
a whom, as he showed by extracts from letters,
were in a state of semi-starvation.
Mr. HADFIELD seconded the amendment.

Mr. HARDY could not see how the government
Scald do otherwise than support this bill, which
was merely to allow persons to subscribe their
money to support the establishment.
Mr. Avicrow thought it a great misfortune, when
they knew that there was great spiritual destitution
in the country, that a bill of this kind should be
proposed. Besides, the bill was incomplete, and
made no provision for the dean and chapter, and
the cathedral, and the palace, and all the other ap-
purtenances to a bishop.
After some further discussion, in which Mr. J.
A. Smith, Mr. Newdegate, and Mr. Henley sup-
ported, and Mr. Kinnaird opposed tho bill, the
*send reading was carried by 45 to M.
The Investment of Trust Funds Bill passed
through committee with some amendments.
The adjourned debate on the third reading of the
Tests Abolition (Oxford and Cambridge) Bill was
esuined.

Sir M. BEACH moved the rejection of the bill. If
they abolished these tests, there would be a mixed
system of government in religious matters, and
the end of it would be, as in America, that reli-
slow teething would be given up altogether.
The bill was then read a third time and passed.
Mr. AVETON was addressing the house on the
third reading of the Libel Bill, when the house
was counted out at a quarter past nine o'clock.

THE Seurem Ranoam BILL.—On Monday after-
noon a deputation from the St. Andrew's Medical
•Graduatee Association, consisting of Dr. Richardson
(president). Dr. Paul (treasurer), Drs. Greenhalgh, Wynn,
Williams, Ballard, Rogers, Seaton, Ray ; Professors James,
Day, Gore, and Dudfield, Members of Council ; and Dr.

"tort., M.P.. Scotch Lord of the Treasury, to lay before him
the claims of all the medical graduates too vote for the

member fur the university. In the course of the interview
• statement which had been drawn up by a sub-committee
of the council of the association was submitted to Sir
Graham. Several member* of the deputation were heard
Ia support of the claim, and a strong opinion was ex-
pressed that the exclusion of graduates who obtained their
degrees before January 1, 1.80, would be an affront and
an injustice to a Large Nifty of educated men, Sir G.
plontgomery said that he was much obliged to the deputa-
tion for the information they bad laid before him, and
with which he was favourably impressed. He promised to
lay the matter fully and fairly before the Lord Advocate.
