LONDON, TUESDAY, MAY 27, 1851

The House of Lords sat last evening,
Tho two Bills introduced by Lord CAMPBELL for the
improvement of the administration of criminal justice
were reported, and ordered to be reprinted with amend-
ments.

The Earl of ELLENBOROUCH then moved for certain
returns relating to the distribution of the Lahore prize
Money, a portion of which, after speeches from Lord
BROUGIITON, tho LORD CHANCELLOR, and the Duke of
WELLINGTON, were ordered.
In the Commons,
Mr. MORE O'Fztuter, took the oaths and his seat.
The House having resolved itself into Committee on
the Ecclesiastical Titles Assumption Bill,
Mr. M'CuLLacs moved an amendment declaring the
bull void, but not unlawful. This was opposed by the
►SOLICITOR•GENEItAL, and supported by Mr. GRATTAN
and Mr. F. PEEL. On a division, it was Eegatived by
179 to 43.
Mr. KEOGH moved that the operation of the Bill
should be confined to England. This was opposed by
Lord JOH:4 RUSSELL, and on a division negatived by 84
to 39.
Mr. KEOGH then moved an amendment, to the effect
that nothinr, contained in the Act should interfere with
the ecclesiastical or spiritual functions of the Roman
Cstholie archbishops or bishops in the United Kingdom.
The ATTORNEY GENERAL resisted the amendment, as
ungrounded, the Bill not interf( ring with the exercise of
functions properly ecclesiastical or spiritual.
After a lengthened discussion, in which Mr. A. B.
Hope, the ELri et Arundel and Surrey, Mr. Anstey, Mr.
Napier, Mr. Gibson, Sir 11. W B trron, Captain Taylor,
Mr. Reynolds, and Mr. Moore took parr, the Cemaiittee
divided. and the amendment was a.g4tived by 344 to 59.
Mr. SADLEIR moved another amendment, embodying
the same principle in other words,
.which, after dLcus-
sion, was negatived by 278 tp 47..
Mr. • KEOGH moved a proviso to the effect that no in.
.licttnent or other criminal proceeding should lie under
the flat cause.
Mr. REYNOLDS moved that the Chairman report
progress.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL would not divide against the
motion, but would lease it to public opinion to decide as
to the propriety of the course pursued by the opponents
of tile measure.
The Reuse then resumed, and having disposed of the
other orders of the day, adjourned at a Quarter-past
Two o'clock.

Another night has been wasted in the disc ussion
.liscussion—Got rave the mark !) of the Ecclesiasti-
cal Titles Assumption Bill, and nothing—literally
nothing—has been effected. The public disgust has
reached the highest pitch at beholding the temporary
success of the factious opposition. It is clearly per-
ceived that the forms of the House must be altered.
It is too absurd to find the Chairman night after
night reporting progress, when no progress has been
made. It can no longer be tolerated that
the entire business of the country should be sus-
pended—that our most venerated institutions
should be made the subject of ridicule to our nu-
merous visitors. The rules, which if judiciously and
temperately resorted to, would be of a very beneficial
character, have been perverted from their original
purposes. The power, which has been taken from
the majority, lest by a possibility it might be
abused, has been handed over to a tyrant minority,
who exhibit a mischievous ingenuity in pushing it to
an extent that had never been contemplated by the
framers of these regulations. Thirty or forty per.
sons, or even the tithe of the number, can beard
