NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.

Sir H. WILLOUGHBY gave notice of his intention
to ask a question as to the estimates of Mr. Barry for
building the new Houses of Parliament, and as to whether
the Royal Commission had any legal authority to sane"
tion the alteration of the amount of such estimates.
PARLIAMENTARY OATHS BILL.
Mr. BANKES asked whether it was the intention of
the Noble Lord at the head of the Government to go into
Committee upon the Parliamentary Oaths Bill on Mon"
day next?
Lord JOHN RUSSELL replied, that it was his
intention to take that Bill on Monday. The only
Bill which stood before it on Monday Wag
that with reference to the Irish grant, but he did not
expect that it would occupy long.
Mr. V. SMITH gave notice, when the House went
into Committee upon it, that he would move to omit all
the words introduced into the oath by the Noble Lord,
except those reisting to allegiance to the Sovereign and
to the maintenance of the succession to the throne.
Mr. SPOONER gave notice that he would move the
insertion of the words "spiritual and ecclesiastical" into
the oath.

Mr. S. WORTLEY as it was impossible for
said,
MARRIAGE BILL.
arty private Member to conduct a Bill through the
House without some assistance from the Government, he
hoped that the Noble Lord (Lord John Russell) would.
make some arrangement for bringing on the adjourns&
debate upon the Marriage Bill, which had not originates
with himself, but had been urged upon him by
a great body of the community, and Wee
now looked upon with great public interest. The two
principal Bills of the session—the Navigation Bill and
the Rate•in-Aid Bill—bad already passed the House,
and as the other Bills before it were not of such vital,
importance, he hoped that the Noble Lord would give
him one out of the three open day a next week.
Sir Augustus Clifford summoned the House to appeal'
in the Louse of Lords, to hear the Royal assent given hi
Commission to several (for which see Lords' report),
On the return of the SPEAKER,
Mr. STUART WORTLEY renewed his question---
he asked the Noble Lord to afford him a day on which
he might be en :bled to bring on the Marriage Bill.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said be had consented to the
Hon. Gentleman bringing on the Bill yesterday, and heal
offered facilities to him for that purpose, believing tbo
the debate would finish yesterday. He could not con'
sent to put off business of great importance, in order the;
a Government day might be assigned to the Hon. Mein'
ber. The Hon. Member must be aware that certain deYe
were assigned to the Government for its business. ge
(Lord J. Russell) thought that the debate ought to be
postponed until Wednesday, the 6th of June; but it ar
peered that some orders had been fixed for that day.
All he could suggest to him was, he should make some
arrangement with some other Hon. Member.
Mr. S. WORTLEY said no notice appeared on the
book for Thursday, the 7th of June; he hoped, therefore,
Hon. Members would give way to him on that day.
Mr. J. O'CONNELL said, the Hon. Member spoke 0
if every Hon. Member thought the Bill an advisable one
to adopt. Now he for one did not approve of it.—(Hear:
hear.) They had lost one day already, and he Ishmael
oupose env proposition of the kind suggested by the
Hon. Member.
Mr. UStIoRNE scolded the motion. He then move&
that the Thursdays be taken from the Government, 03
given to the House; next, that motions have precedence
of orders of the day on all Thursdays; and further,
that the debate be postponed until Thursday, the 14th
of June; but the Hun. Member did not persist in any of
them.

Lord JOHN RUSSELL suggested that the question
had better be adjourned till Monday.
Mr. S. WORTLEY adopted the suggestion and post-
poned the motion till Monday, when he should propose
that the debate be resumed on Thursday, the 7th June.
The motion was then withdrawn.
ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE.

On the question that the House at its rising do adjourn
till Monday next,
Mr. HORSNIAN adverted to the report of the
Committee of Selection finding fault with him f°_,r
not answering a communication from them. It had
always been the custom for the clerk to write £0
Members, begging to know what period of the session
would be most convenient for them to attend Committees,
and that arrangement had proved conducive to the
convenience of all parties, but in the present session 00
practice appeared to have been given up.—(No, no.)
Then he could only say, that he had been an untortty,
nate exception, for had he received any notification 01
that sort, he should have replied that it would be incon-
venient for him to attend in the week beginning the
14 t h of May. He did not wish to shrill"'
from any duty the House might impose upon
him, but he felt that he had a right to complain of chie
omission which had taken place in this instance, which
had put him to considerable inconvenience.
The motion was then agreed to.
STEAM COMMUNICATION WITH AUSTRALIA'

In reply to Mr. SCOTT,
Sir F. T. BARING stated that the subject of stesol
communication with Australia was now under the cow
sideration of the Admiralty.

NAVY ESTIMATES.
Captain BOLDER() wished to ask the First L°lll
of the Admiralty when the report on the navy estimate,,
was likely to be brought up. The House, no doubt, W
aware that it had been postponed from day to day 11/,
consequence of the illness of the Hon. Member for M°ll.,
trose, but when it was brought up it was his intentl.%
to make some observations upon the vote for the martow
corps.
Sir F. T. BARING said the resolution had been
tre-
ported, but still the Hon. and Gallant Member should
•
have an opportunity afforded him for making his ob'
ser vations.

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.
Mr. OSBORNE, seeing the Noble Lord the Secretary
for Foreign Affairs in his place, wished to ask bin'
Government bad received any information of the au"
vance of the Russian army into the independent kingdom!
of Hungary.—(Laughter.) He repeated the free al'u
independent kingdom of nungary.—(Laughter.)
likely lion. Gentlemen who laughed were not coaversaliC
with tlo history of Hungary.--(Laughter.) Secondly,
was there any treaty in existence by which this countrY
was bound to resist the entrance of Russian troops inS,,,
Hungary; P
and •lastly, whether Ministers had any wis'
ur intention of mediating between the Emperor of Au
tria and the free people of Hungary.—(Laughter.)
Lord PALMERSTON, in reply to the first question,
said he had received information that day from *Vienna,
that an application for military assistance in the war ba."
Austrlao
tween Austria and Hungary had been made by
to the Russi:ln Government, and that that applicatys,
had been assented to, and was going to be complied /11"1
