LIVERPOOL PASSAGE BILL.

, Lord WHARNCL PPE _presented a petition from Liver-
pool, praying their Lordships to pass the Liverpool Passage
Bill into a law. The Noble Lord then moved that the Bill
be read a second time:

The LORD CHANCELLOR said he objected to the Bill
because it would be partial in its operation, and also because it
went generally for too great an extension of jurisdiction. How-
ever, he would not object to the second reading, as probably
the Objectionable clauses might be removed hereafter.
The Bill was then read a second time.

_.RELIGIOUS,ASSEMBLIES BILL.
Lord., S,LIFFIELD,_ in.moviug the second reading of
the Religions Assemblies Bill, observed that bo did so
for the purpose of going into Committee, when he should in-
troduce a clause applicable to the Colonies. The Noble
Lord called on the Right Reverend Prelates to maintain the
doctrines of their own Church. ,

The Bishop of E XE TER, in consequence of being called
on by the Noble Baron, felt himself bound to make a few
observations upon the Bill. It• was in, direct opposi-
tion to one of the most important doctrines of the
Church of England.—( Hear, hear, hear.) The Noble
Baron had confined himself to topics not in the Bill, and had
told their Lordships if they would only allow it to be read a
second time, ,he, would introduce a clause which would make it
applicable to the colonies. The Bill, as it at present stood, was
applicable to thil state of religious worship in Great
Britain and Ireland. If, therefore, their Lordships
consented to read the Bill a second time, because the
Noble Lord had promised to introduce a clause that
would make it applicable to the colonies, they would be con-
senting to its second reading, without an atom of argument
adduced in its favour. His principal objection to the Bill
was, that it would make it lawful for any number of
persons to meet for the worship of God in any private dwell_
ing house, without being certified, and it would enable any
person to teach or preach at such place without taking any oath
or declaration, or without taking out any licence for that purpose.
He felt convinced that the parties introducing the Bill had no
object in view but to protect 'the doctrines of the Church of
England ; bat, taking the Bill as a whole, he had such objec-
tions to it that he should move the second reading that day
six months. .

The Earl of WICKLOW was surprised at the motion of
the Right Rev: Prelate. He trusted he would withdraw
it in order that the objectionable part might be withdrawn.
The Bishop of DEithY was against the measure.
The LORD. CHANCELLOR' did not feel himself
at liberty to give his concurrence to the Hear. hear.)
lie objected to the powers it gore for persons to meet with-
out • leave from the Bisliops.--( Hear, hear, hear.) It
was not giving the Vicar of the parish fair play,
for it allowed other persons to set up a rival shop with his
own goods ; as by tho Bill as it then stood, the liturgy entire
might be used without eontroul. He trusted the House would
not pass the present measure, but' he also trusted that the
next session would not pass over without some measure being
perfected for the relief of churchmen on that point.
Lord SUFFIELD replied, and the question having been
put,
the Bill was thrown out.

THE DISSENTERS.
Lord ROLLE said, that seeing the Noble Lard now at the
head of the Government in his place, he begged to ask of him
whether he meant to introduce into that House any measure
to allow Dissenters to graduate at the universities of England?
Viscount MELBOURNE said, that certainly it was not
the intention of Government fo introduce such a measure ; but
he understood there was a Bill in the other House •for such a
purpose, which would most likely soon reach that House.
Lord ROLLE said that perhap'as that was the case, the
