The Archbishop of CANTERBURY said he hoped their
lordships would assent to the fire reading of a bill which be
had to propose. the object of which was tote, under
certain circumstances, sad with certain lint special
services in causexion with the Church of Rog-land. t would
be in their lordships' recollection that a noble earl whom he
saw in his place (the Earl of Shaftesbury) introduced a bill
with a somewhat similar object at the close of the leant
sitting of parlismait. His rev. brethren sad himself were
of opinion that the object which the noble earl had in view
wee far too important to be abandoned ; but they were also of
opinion that the bill which he proposed wee liable to some
objections which did not appear to have occurred to the noble
earl himself. He had, therefore, to lay on the table a bill
which they thought would accomplish the noble earl's ob-
ject without exciting any suspicions that it would
interfere with the acclaimer's' order and discipline,
which it wee appreheeded would be the effect of the noble
earl's bill It would afford the highest gratification to his
eight rev. brethren and himself if the noble earl would con-
cur in the bill ; and •if in consequence the object were arried
into effect. They were quite aware that the noble earl had
no other design than the promotion cif religion, mid the eons_
ring to the church of England these advantages width, in
the altered situation of the country, and with the latnese
population since the parochial system was ariginabed, were
required. He would now with the
War ketiehipa, lay the bill on chi; table, and he persa ihoseicaped it
Mehl be reed a second time on Monday next.
Lad CAMPBELL said, being a sincere advocate of the
=hear would put it to the noble earl whether it wee not
that he should postpone the second reading of his
bill, which stood for Monday until they had had en oppor-
trinity of examining the bill about to be laid on the table, and
meertaining which was the beet.
The bail of SHAFTESBURY said be thought it would
M beet to wait till Monday before determining whether or
not be would proceed with his bill.
Lord CAMPBELL thought that the interval between that
evening and Monday was too short for the consideration of a
soliject of such grave importance.

bill we, • ahort one, and be ho it would be in the
