The LORD CHANCELLOR took his scat on the Woolsack at
five o'clock.
Lord MORPETH, and other Members of the House of Com-
mons, brought up the Ecclesiastical Revenue (Ireland) Bill,

ordered to be read a second time to-morrow.
The Bills on the table were forwarded a stage.
STEAM CARRIAGES BILL.
The Marquis of SALISBURY seeing the Noble Earl who
had the conducting of the Steam Carriages Bill through the
House, wished to request of him to postpone the Bill, in order
that a Select Committee might be appointed upon the subject.
He believed if such a Committee were appointed it could be
clearly shown that steam carriages could not run on the public
roads without endangering the lives of his Majesty's subjects.
Lord RADNOR was willing, if it was the wish of the
House, to postpone the further consideration of the Bill; but
he must confess he did not see any ground for doing so.

Lord Lyndhurst, Lord Wynford, and the Marquis of Salis-
bury, the further consideration of the Bill was postponed, in
