THE DANO -GERMAN QUESTION.

Earl RUSSELL said that a few evenings ago he had
stated that in a few days either preliminaries for peace
would bo arranged between Germany and Denmark, or war
would be recommenced. He was sorry to say that the
latter alternative was likely to be the result, and that hos-
tilities would probably be resumed on Sunday. On Mon-
day next he proposed to lay on the table the protocol of the
Conference, and in so doing to state the general course of

,he negotiations.
BRIBERY AND CORRUPTION.

Lard BROUGHAM laid upon the table a bill to prevent
bribery and corruption in returning members to the House
of Commons.

The bill was read a first time.

FACILITIES FOR DIVINE SERVICE IN COL-
LEGIATE SCHOOLS BILL.
The Diahop of OXFORD moved the second reading of
this bill. The whole of the clergy who had expressed an

opinion upon it seemed highly to approve of its provisions,

and thought it wou'd aid in the education of the people.
The Earl of SHAFTESB [LEX entirely disapproved of
the provisions of the bill, and moved that it be read that

day three months.
The Archbishop of CANTERBURY said the bill only
legalised existing practices.
Lord PORTMAN thought if the bill did act upon any
other than chartered schools there could be no objection
to it.

The LORD CHANCELLOR thought there was some
danger in the bill, and therefore he should be compelled to
vote against the second reading if it was pressed to a divi-

Mon.

The Bishop of LONDON advised the postponement of
the bill.
The Bishop of OXFORD expressed surprise at lie
opposition raised to the measure, which he attributed to
unworthy suspicions and prejudices. As it was, the
schools of the Church of England were placed at a disad-
vantage compared with those of every other denomination.
Ultimately, the amendment was withdrawn, and the
second reading of the bill was agreed to.
The Beerhouses (Ireland) Bill was also read a second
time.

The Banking Copartnership Bill and the Vacating of
Seats (House of Commons) Bill passed through committee.
Their lordships then adjourned.
