LONDON, SATURDAY, JULY 5, 1851.

In the House of Lords last night,
Lord BEAUMONT moved that, in the case of the
Smithfield Market Removal Bill, the standing orders be
dispensed with.
The motion, which was opposed by Lord REDESDALE
and the Duke of RICHMOND, and supported by Earl
GRANVILLE and Lord BROUGHAM, was, on a division,
carried by 77 to 22.
The Purchase of Land Facilitation (Ireland) Bill was
rejected by 16 to 3.

Their Lordships adjourned at a Quarter to Eight
o'cicck.
In the Commons,
The third reading of the Ecclesiastical Titles Assump-
tion Bill took place without discussion.
On the question that the Bill do pass,
Lord J. RUSSELL moved the omission of the words in-
troduced into the second clause on the motion of Sir F.
THESIGER, extending the penalty of 1004 to the pro-
curing, publishing, and putting to use bulls creating
Roman. Catholic bishops, &c.
The motion, which was opposed by Sir F. THESIGER
and supported by the SOLICITOR-GENERAL, was nega-
tived by a majority of 79. The numbers being—
For Lord John Russell's amendment... 129
Against it ••• •• • ... ••• 208
Majority against the Government... —79
Mr. FRESEFIELD rose to move that persons convicted
under the Act should be sent out of the country, and,
in the event of their return, banishment beyond seas to
follow.
The amendment fell to the ground
,for want of a se-
conder.

Lord JOHN RUSSELL then moved the omission of that
part of the second clause which authorises private per-
sons to prosecute for penalties with the consent of the
Attorney-General.
The House instantly divided, when there appeared—
For Lord John Russell's amendment... 124
Against it
Majority against the Government... —5l
The numbers were scarcely declared, before a division
was taken on the main question that the Bill do pass.
For the motion ... ... ... ... 263

On the question of title,
Mr. GRATTAN moved as an amendment that the title
be " A Bill to prevent the free exercise of the Roman
Catholic religion in Ireland."
Sir JAMES GRAHAM regretted that a discussion had
not taken place en the question that the Bill do pass,
but recommended Mr. GRATTAN to withdraw his
amendment. A discussion of a somewhat acrimonious
nature between Mr. Sergeant MURPHY, Mr. REYNOLDS,
Mr. MOORE, Mr. LAWLESS, and several other Members
followed, at the conclusion of which

Lord JOHN RUSSELL made an explanatory statement,
showing that the want of a last discussion on the question
that the Bill do pass was owing to the absence of the
opponents of the Bill at the proper moment.
Mr. GLADSTONE renewed his protest against the
measure.
The Marquis of GRANBY, Sir HARRY VANE, Mr.
FARBER, and Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT, having spoken,
The original title was agreed to without a division.
Tiae other orders were disposed of, and the Rouse
adjourned till Monday.

It is with sincere pleasure that we announce that
the Ecclesiastical Titles Assumption Bill has been
finally disposed of in the House of Commons, and we
have no doubt that the intelligence will be received
with equal satisfaction by the community in general.
Nothing could exceed the weariness and disgust
excited by the apparently interminable proceeding,
and the repetitions of the same cuckoo-notes. Almost
any termination would have been hailed with delight.
We can therefore easily imagine the hearty good will
of the exclamations with which the order for the Bill
to be taken up to the House of Lords was received,
and the honest cordiality with which that cheering
will be responded;to throughout the entire country.
The third reading of the Bill was carried almost
sub silentio without debate or division, a brief but
energetic protest from the Honourable Gentleman
the Member for Dublin against the measure, which
he designated as "a Bill of pains and penalties,"
forming the only exception to the rule. It was not,
however, that the minority had become more satis-
fied with the principles or details of the Bill.
" The Brigade" were still determined to resist
to the uttermost. But there was a general
anxiety that the contest upon the stringent additions
introduced by the Right Honourable Gentleman the
Member for Abingdon should be decided, that it
might be seen whether the PREMIER could retrieve
his position and restore the Bill to the shape in which
it had obtained the sanction of his Administration, or
whether Sir FREDERICK TUESIGER would maintain
the advantages he had achieved, and again leave the
Government in decisive minorities. Much would de-
pend on the conduct of " the brass band," and
nothing certain was known as to the intentions
of the body, or the line of tactics that they
might pursue. This gave some interest to the matter,
and it was agreed, as a matter of general convenience,
that the debate should be taken on the question that
" the Bill do now pass."

The great trial was now to take place. Lord Joni
RUSSELL and Sir FREDERICK TIIESIGER descended
into the arena as the champions of their respective
parties.
The Noble Lord spoke briefly, and as if he
entertained no very sanguine anticipations as to the
result. His mind appeared to be oppressed by a sad
more vigorous. The foreboding of dneefevaetr. The ex-Attorney-General

The The right and left hitting of this rather formidable

the day. The division took place. "The Spartan '
