, NEW HOW ES OF PARLIAMENT.

Sir H. WILLOU( +IIBY gave notice of his intention
to ask a question as to the estimates of Mr. Barry for
building the new Hon ses of Parliament, and as to whether
the Royal Commissio n had any legal authority to Banc..
tion the alteration of the amount of such estimates.

PARLIAME NTARY OATHS BILL.
Mr. BANKBS asked whether it was the intention of
the Noble Lord at tin e 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 ',bat Bill on Monday. The only
Bill which k tood before it on Monday was
that with reference 13 the Irish grant, but he did not
expect that it would, occupy long.
Mr. V. SMITH' g ave notice, when the House went
into Committee upot, it,, that he would move to omit all
the words introduced into the oath by the Noble Lord.
except those relating. to allegiance to the Sovereign and
to the maintenance ref the succession to the throne.
Mr. SPOONER gave notice that he would move the
insertion of the wos .ds .t spiritual and ecclesiastical " into
the oath.

MARRIAGE BILL.
Mr. S. WORTLEY said, as it was impossible for
any 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 adjourned
debate upon the Marriage Bill, which had not originated
with himself, but :had been urged upon him by
a great body of the community, and was
now looked upon with great public interest. The two
principal Bills of the session—the Navigation Bill and
the Rate•in-Aid Bill—had already passed the House,
and as the other Bills before it were not of such vital
importance, he hopel that the Noble Lord would give
him one out of the Valve open da3, a next week.
Sir Augustus Clifford summoned the House to appear
in the House of Lords to hear the Royal assent givt n by
Commissionto severa:tßilli (for which see Lords' report).
On the return of the SPEAKER,

Mr. STUART WORTLEY renewed his quostion--.
he asked the Noble Lord to afford him a day. on which
he might be enabled to bring on the Marriage Bill.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said he had consented to the
Hon. Gentleman bringing on the Bill yesterday, and had
offered facilities to him for that purpose, believing that
the debate would finitih yesterday. He could not con-
sent to put off burin ass of great importance, in order that
a Government day might be assigned to the Hon. Mem-
ber. The Hon. Member must be aware that certain days
were assigned to the Government for its business. He
(Lord J. Russell) thought that the debate ought to be
postponed until \Wednesday, the 6th of June; but it ap-
peared that some ocders 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 as
if every Hon. Member thought the Bill an advisable one
to adopt. Now he for one did not approve of it.— (Hear.
bear.) They had lost one day already, and he should
onposo any proposition of the kind suggested by the
Hon. Member.

Mr. ObtSuRNE acondei the motion. He then moved
that the ThursdayS be taken from the Government, and
given to the House; next, that motions have precedence
of Driers of the day on all Thursdays; and further,
that the debate be postponed until Thursday, the 14th
of June; but the Hon. 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 ho should propose
that the debate be resumed on Thursday, the 7th June.
The motion was then withdrawn.
ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE.

On tlieTiiestion.that the House at its rising do adjourn
till Monday next,
Mr. UORSMAN adverted to the report of the
Committee of Selection finding fault with him for
not answerir.g a communication from them. It bad
always, been the custom for the clerk to write to
Members, begging to know what period of the session
would be most convenient for them to attend Committees►
and that arrangement bad proved conducive to the
convenience of all partie4.but in the present session that
practice appeared to have been given up.—(No, no.)
'then he could only say, that he had been an untortu-
nate exception,, for had he received any notification of
that sort, he should have replied that it would be incon-
venient for him to attend in the week beginning the
14th of May. He did not wish to shrink
from any duty the House might impose upon
him, but he felt that he had a right to complain of the
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 stelae
communication with Australia was now under the COw
sideration of the Admiralty.
NAVY ESTIMATES.
Captain BOLDER°
_wished to ask the First Lord
of the Admiralty when the report on the navy estimates
was likely to be brought up. The House' no doubt, was
aware that it had been postponed from day to day in
consequence of the illness of the Lion. Member for Moo"
trose, but when it was brought up it was his intention
to make some observations upon the vote for the marine
corps. •
Sir F. T. BARING said the resolution had been re-
ported, but still the lion. and Gallant Member ghoul"
have an opportunity afforded him for making his ob'
servations.

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.
Mr. OSBORNE, seeing the Neble Lord the Secretary
for
Foreign Affairs in his place, wished to ask him
if Government had received any information of the ad-
ranee of the Russian army into the independent kingdom
of Hungary.— (Laughter.)
.He repeated the free and
independent kingdom of Hungary.—(Laughter.) very
likely Hon. Gentlemen who laughed were not conversant
with the history of Hungary.—(Laughter.) Secondly,
was there any treaty in existence by which this country
war, bound to resist the entrance of Russian troops into
Hungary; and lastly, whether Ministers bad any wish
or intention of mediating between the Emperor of AO'
trim and the free people of Hungary.—(Laughter.)
son'
Lord PALMERSTON, in reply to the first ques
said he had received in!ormation that day from Vienna,
that an application for military assistance in the war bFa:
tweet) Austria and Hunpry bad been made by Austr_i_
to the Russian Government, and that that applioaian.
had been assented to, and viaa goiog to bo 001:0PliedrT.
