BURMESE WAR.

In reply to Sir R. H. INGLIS,
Mr. HERRIES said he should be prepared shortly to
lay on the table of the House the papers relating to the
Burmese war. It was untrue that hostilities had alreadi
commenced, or that the expedition which the Governor
General had contemplated had been abandoned. It wee
dispatched in due course, and was to have arrived on the
let of April.
COLONIAL BISHOPS' BILL.
Mr. GLADSTONE said he had received an intimation
from the Government that they did not intend to oppolie
the second reading of this Bill, though they should pro"
pose amendments in Committee. They were anxioqs:
however, that the second reading should be postpone!
for the present session, and he hoped the House wootio
have no (A& mien to give him fourteen days to consid6r
this proposal.—(Hear, hear.)
THE ST. LAWRENCE.
Mr. HUME observed by the ordinary channels that
a dispute bad arisen between this country and the
United States relative to the opening up of the river St.
Lawrence; ar.d he should be glad to know whether
Government was prepared to lay the papers relating I°
the dispute before the House?
Sir JOHN PAKING TON said the dispute related
not only to the opening of the St. Lawrence, but w's.e
connected with other questions. The subject in dispute
was a delicate one, and he therefore could not answer
the q'iestion without previous notice.—(Hear.)
Mr. HUME would repeat the question on a futtae
day.

EMIGRATION.
Mr. P. HOWARD had been requested by the hal*
loom weavers of Carlisle to ask the Right Hon. the So'
cretary for the Colonies to state who would and vrb°
would not be open to accept the bounty of the Goveeil"
mcnt for the purpose of emigrating to Australia?
Sir JOHN PAKINGTON could only repeat t
answer he had given the other night, which was dig!
the eubkot was rpging the earnest attention 0'
the Government.—(bear, hear.) The Emigration
Commissioners had already Hexed their regulations in
favour of the Highlanders of Soothed, and he had 11,°
doubt they would confer a similar favour on the bona'
loom weavers.—(Hear. hear.)

THE REV. MR. BENNETT.
Mr. HORS MAN claimed the attention of ill'?Mr.
House while he called upon the Government to le"!
him a day to renew his motion for an inquiry into utv
appointment of Mr. Bennett to the vicarage of Froze e•
It would be remembered that some weeks ago, when 4"
House was about to come to a decision unon gi"..
0;
motion. th© Government undertook to make such an 0
quay themselves; hut it now appeared that they had
power to embark upon it, and under those circumstance,
he insisted that they ought to place the motion in Ulf
same position that it stood some time ago.—(Sept,
hear.) Ho might, perhaps, take that opportunity
asking the Learned Attorniv-General whether he WI
given an opinion to the effect that a prosecution agoilk
the Bishop or Mr. Bennett would lie under the Char°
Discipline Act?—(llPar, hear.) n$
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he could
answer the question without notice.
Mr. WALPOLE said the Government were anSi°ll6
to give the Hon. Gewkman a day to renew his ino„..ti°nllr
but they were under so many promises to other o°a
Members that the present state of public business wog'
not admit of their giving aaother.—(Hear, hear.)
