An examination of Cadets for her Majesty's
Royal Marine Corps took place at the Royal Naval Col-
lege, Portsmouth, on tha Btb and 9th March, before Capt.
Sir Thomas Hastings, of the Excellent, and Professor
Main, F. R. S., when the following young gentlemen were
found qualified as Second Lieutenants, and ordered to ap-
pear at the Admiralty umberthe 16th inst. for their commis-
sions, viz., Messrs. Schg, Roberts, Richards, Goold,
Drury, Butcher, and Hutchison, all of whom are the sons
of old and gallant naval officers.

ST. SULPICE.
The Marquis of NORMANBY then moved for a
return of certain papers respecting the motion of the
Right Rev. Prelate (the Bishop of Exeter), which
stood for discussion to-morrow.
The Bishop of EXETER inquired if they were
printed ?
The Marquis of NORMANBY said he understood
they were, and would be delivered to-morrow.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH said their Lordships
must understand that it was a difficult thing to read
papers and proceed at once to debate upon them.
He understood from what had taken place on the sub-
ject that her Majesty's Government would not advise
her Majesty to disallow the ordinance within the period
of thirty days, during which time it would lie on the
table of the House.—(Hear, hear.) He thought
that it would he desirable for the Right Reve-
rend Prelate to postpone his motion until Monday
or Tuesday next, as there would still be ample time to
move the address to her Majesty before the thirty days
expired. Under these circumstances he (Lord Ellen-
borough) would not now press other circumstances which
appeared to him to be of the greatest importance, but
would merely suggest to the Right Rev. Prelate alit it
would be for the convenience of the House if he would
accede to this suggestion.
The Bishop of EXETER said he was sure their
Lordships would not suppose that any personal incon-
venience whatever had induced him to state that he was
afraid that it would not be in his power to accede to
the application that had been made to him. He was
at that moment under the orders of the Court of
Queen's Bench, having been subpceaned to attend at
Exeter, at the present assizes, and he was bound to
leave London early on Saturday morning. Under these
circumstances he would ventare to suggest to their
Lordships that it was rather hard, on the eve of a motion
of this kind, that an application of this sort should be
made, the more especially as the attention of the
Government had been called to this subject for a
period of nine or ten days, and it had not been
until the eleventh hour that they had thought fit
to lay upon the table papers that would seem to
be important. He was afraid he could not attend on
Monday next without disobeying a mandate of the
Court of Queen's Bench.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH inquired if the Right
Rev. Prelate was obliged to be in Exeter on Monday
next ?

The Bishop of EXETER said he was bound pre-
viously to go to Worcester on business of great
importance relating to the Church, and to
be in Exeter on Tuesday night. He under-
stood from the Noble Marquis these papers were
printed, and as he supposed they could therefore have
them early to-morrow morning, he thought there would
be sufficient time to consider them.
The Marquis of NORMANBY said that the
papers had been ordered by the House of Commons
on Tuesday, and he believed they were now printed.
The Earl of RIPON said that the dispatch which
was referred to seemed to be held on all sides as of
great importance. The question now was, whether they
ought to be called on to give an opinion on a very im-
portant subject, to which everybody attached the
greatest consequence, without their having the means
of considering the principles on which the mea-
sure rested, and which principles they were
told were to be found in a certain despatch
which they would not be able to read till to-mor-
row He had a perfect recollection of what was
contained in that despatch ; but written as it was ten
years ago, he could not at that moment undertake to
explain to their Lordships either the principles upon
which it was founded or the motives which induced him
to advise his Majesty to send that despatch to Canada.
Under those circumstances, they ought not to decide
on such a question without having more time to exa-
mine into it. Some arrangement ought, he thought,
to be made by her Majesty's Government,
as they were concerned in the postponement.
of the discussion, that the question should be put
in the same position as it would have been in if
the thirty days required for the ordinance to
lie on the table of the House had not expired.
What occurred in the present instance happened last
year in the Clergy Reserves Bill. It was impossible
to proceed on that occasion without the advantage of
an assurance such as he referred to being given by her
Majesty's Government ; and on the present if Minis-
ters would give a similar assurance the Right Rev.
Prelate might be able to postpone the question.
The Bishop of EXETER would accede to that
proposition, trusting that, under the circumstances of
his attending his Parliamentary duties, the Judge of
Assize would consent to put off the trial. At all
events, he (the Bishop of Exeter) would undertake
to bring forward his motion on Monday next, and he
would move that the order for proceeding with the mo-
tion to-morrow be discharged, and that the question
be postponed till Monday.
Lord ELLEN BOROUG H suggested to the Noble
Marquis opposite that it would be desirable to furnish
their Lordships with a copy of the Letters Patent
granted by Lord Bathurst in 1821 to the Roman Ca-
tholic Seminary of St. Nicolay, in Canada.
Lord DUNCANNON then laid upon the table
despatches of Lord Goderich relating to Catholic
education in Canada.
The Marquis of NORMANBY ,gave notice that in

Mr. ESTCOURT wished to call the attention of
the House to the Report presented yesterday by the
Committee of Selection. It would be remembered
that the day befote yesterday it had been moved and
carried that it be an instruction to the Committee
of Selection to consider whether the rule usually
adopted in ordinary cases of private Bills, of referring
such Bills to a Select Committee chosen from names in
the Speakers list of gentlemen connected with the par-
ticular counties to which such Bill referred, together
with certain other gentlemen unconnected with such loca-
lities, should be adoptedb in the case of the Severn Navi-
gation Bill, or whether in the Committee on that Bill it
would be better entirely to omit all those whose
names appeared in the Speaker's list, to have it
composed of gentlemen entirely unconnected with
the localities to which the Bill related. The
Committee, in consequence of that instruction had met
yesterday, and had agreed to a Report, to which he
now wished to direct the attention of the House. The
Report stated that the wording of the instruction
plainly indicated that it was intended that the Commit-
tee of Selection should exercise, a discretion in the
matter ; but as the Committee hld been appointed for
a particular purpose, and had no power of sending for
persot.s, papers, or documents, they reported to the
House that they were not in a condition to form a
judgment, and he could not but think that it was im-
possille for them to exercise any discretion re-
specting the matter of the instruction. It was
a great object that persons should be selected who
were perfectly unbiassed and uninstigated by any
partiality. He had lost no time in stating to the House
these preliminaries to tl.e motion he had to submit,
which was, that the Order of the House that had led to
the embarrassment should be discharged. All that
he had been anxious to do was to rescue the House
and the Committee from the embarrassment into
which it had got. The Hon. Member concluded
by moving that the Order of the 9th of March should
be discharged.
Mr. LABOUCHERE said that the statements of
the Hon. Member opposite must satisfy the House that
the Committee of Selection had done all that they could
do. To those Members who were present yesterday he
need not say that he had heard with regret the decision
which the House came to, as he considered it was
likely to break down those orders which the House
had previously made. He could not but think that
the course taken by the Committee of Selection had
rescued the House from a situation of great per-
plexity. He concurred with the arguments the
Honourable Gentleman had brought forward,
and he would therefore support the motion he
had made. He thought the House was greatly
indebted to the Committee of Selection for the course
they had adopted.
Lord G. SOMERSET said that when the order
was discharged, he should give a notice for a motion on
the subject to-morrow.
The order was then discharged.
Lord G. SOMERSET then gave notice that he
should to-morrow move that the Sever❑ Navigation
Bill should be referred to the Committee on Private
Business instead of the Committee of Selection.

Mr. EVANS presented a petition from a congrega-
tion of Protestant Dissenters in Derbyshire, praying the
House to adopt measures for the extinction of Church-
rates, for the abolition of Ecclesiastical Courts, and
for the iniincdiate liberation of Mr. Baines ; believing
that such measures will put an end to strife between re-
ligious parties, and r omote the prosperity of the
Cht*ch.
Mr. RAIKES CURRIE presented a petition from
Long Buckby, in tho county of Northampton, to the I
same effect.
Mr. FRESHFIELD presented n petiti.on from
Peoryn and its vicinity, deprecating the connection which
exists between the British Government and the super- \
stitious idolatries of India.
Mr. ROUND presented a petition from the Nor-
law Guardians of a union in Essex, against the in-
crease of the powers of the Poor-law Commissioners in
the management of the infant and infirm poor ; and
complaining of the expense which attends the present
system.
Mr. PEASE presented a petition from the town of
Stockton-on-Tees, praying that any regulations which
the House may adopt for- .the improved cleansing of
towns may he extended to that place.
Mr. BOWES presented a petition from some of

required.
IRISH REGISTRATION BILL.
Lord STANLEY then rose and said, Sir, I will
now redeem the pledge which I gave on a former occa-
sion, that within a short time from the day for which the
Order of the Day for the second reading of the
Registration of Voters (Ireland) Bill stood fixed,
I would state to the House the course which
it was my intention to pursue with respect to
it. Sir, I have taken time to consiJer the matter
in all its bearings ; and my only object being to place
that Bill in the most favourable situation for ultimately
passing this House and becoming the law of the land, I
believe I shall best consult that object by removing any
prejudice that might arise from the fact that a small
majority of the House have confirmed the principle of
the Bill of the Noble Lord the Secretary for Ire-
land, and I shall therefore move that the
order he read for the purpose of postponement, my in-
tuntion being to postpone that Bill from the 24th of
March to Wednesday, the 28th of April, in full confi-
dence that on the 23d of April, the day for which the
Government have now fixed their Bill, they will, without
fail, proceed to the discussion of that Bill in Commit-
tee, and en able the House to pronounce upon the lead-
ing provisions of that Bill. The Noble Lord said, I
may also take this opportunity of putting a question to
the Chancellor of the Exchequer, as I see him in his
place, in the absence of the Noble Lord the Secre-
tary for the Colonies, who has given notice that it is
his intention to go into a Committee of the whole
House on Monday next, in reference to the Acts re-
lating to South Australia. Perhaps thfe
