THE VIENNA CONFERENCE.

Lord LYNDHURST begged to ask the noble earl
opposite if it was the intention of the Government to
give any information relative to the late proposition of
Austria with regard to the third point.
Earl GRANVILLE said it was the intention of
her Majesty's Government to lay on the table all the
papers connected with the subject upon which the noble
and learned lord desired information.
OATH OF ABJURATION BILL.

Lord LYNDHURST gave notice that he intended to
postpone the second reading of this bill from Thursday
next till the Tuesday following.
The Earl of DERBY trusted that his noble and
. .

learned friend would not Press---forWarda—biirtif such
importance at this late period of the session, when many
noble lords had left town under the impression that all
the measures intended to be submitted to Parliament
had already been laid on the table. The house had de-
termined not to receive any bill from the House of Com-
mons after the 25th July, except in special cases, and if
their lordships were to proceed with the bill of his noble
friend, it would be rather a strange comment on their
own resolution. He thought, if Government would in-
timate to his noble friend that they were not prepared
to support such a measure at this period of the session,
their remonstrance would induce him to postpone the
measure until the commencement of the next session.
Lord LYNDHURST declined to abandon his bill, to
which he intimated he had obtained the assent of Mi-
nisters.
Earl GRANVILLE corroborated that statement ;
and, after some further conversation, the second reading
of the bill was fixed for Tuesday next, the 17th inst.
THE MAYNOOTH REPORT.
The Earl of WINCHILSEA renewed his complaint
that illegal titles had been ascribed to certain Irish
Roman Catholic bishops in the report lately presented
by the Maynooth Inquiry Commissioners. He moved
a resolution declaring that the recognition of these eccle-
siastical titles was a direct violation of the Catholic
Emancipation Act, and ordering an amended copy of
the report, with the objectionable words omitted, should
be laid on the table.
The Earl of HARROWBY repeated his explanation,
already more than once given on the subject, confessing
that the insertion of the titles in question was improper,
assuring the house that it was accidental. There were,
he urged, many objections to the resolution as proposed,
and he hoped their lordships would not adopt it.
Lord Campbell, Lord Lyndhurst, the Lord Chancellor,
Earl Hardwicke, and the Earl of Derby, having briefly
spoken, concurring in the opinion that the resolution in
its present shape was inexpedient, the Earl of Winchil-
sea reluctantly consented to withdraw his motion.
The Haileybury College Bill, the Ledbury Prebend
Bill, and the Powers under Improvement Acts Regula-
tion Bill were respectively read a second time.
