RESIGNATION OF MR. HOWARD.
In answer to a queoticn from Mr. BOWYER,
Mr. S. FITZGERALD said the Government had re-
ceived no official information of the particular ciroum-
atones of disrespect to the Grand Duke and Grand
Duchess of Tuscany, on the part of Mr. Howard, re-
ferred to. When Mr. Howard left England, he was
paid the usual sum for his expenses, but on his resigna-
tion he repaid it into the Exchequer. (Hear, hear.)
Lord Normanby had been instructed to explain the cir-
cumstances under which Mr. Howard felt it necessary
to leave Florence.
PROCEEDINGS AGAINST FATHERS CONWAY
AND RYAN.

Lord J. BROWNE asked the Attorney-General
for Ireland whether the Government were going to
take auy more prooeedings against the Rev. Mr.
Conway and the Rev. Mr. Ryan
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for IRELAND said
that, after the inquiries he had made, he thought he
should best discharge his duty by not proceeding
further against the individuals referred to. (geals)

. .
PERSIA.
Mr. GREGORY asked if the British mission had
been recalled from Herat; if the independence of Herat,
as guaranteed in the late treaty of peace with Persia,
was no longer to be insisted on ; and, if so, whether the
main object of the late war had not been abandoned ;
and if Persia had advanced claims to territory to the
east of Herat !
Mr. S. FITZGERALD said the stipulations of the
treaty referred to hal been most punctually fultired.
The independence of Herat had been fully recognised
by the Persian Government. Ho was unable to say
whether the mein object of the late war had been aban-
doned because it was declared, conducted, and concluded
without explanation to the house. (Hear, hear.)
Claims had been made to the territory referred to by
Persia, but be understood from Mr. Murray they had
been abandoned. (Hear, bear.)
THE BRAZILIAN GOVERNMENT.
Mr. RICH asked the Under Secretary of Stee for
Foreign Affa;rs whether the Government bad received
any report from the law officers of the cr.)wn on the
claims and complaints against the Brazilian Govern-
incur, preferred by Messrs. Swann and Smalipage, and,
if so, what steps had been taken respecting those claims
and conerlaini
Mr. S. FITZGERALD said her Majesty's Govern-
ment were advised the circumstances of the case were
net such as to call for further interference on their
part. The Brazilian Government had undertaken to
pay Messrs. Swann and Ce. any actual losses they bad
met with, and the► matter was now under investigation.
ST. JAMES'S PARK.

Mr. COGAN asked the Secretary of State for the
Home Department whether there would be any objec-
tion to allow members of Parliament coming to, or re-
turning from, the House of Commons, to drive through
the park by Consi:ution-hill, cr through the Ht•rse
Guards ? (Hear, hear )
Mr. WALPOLE said he was unwilling to lay such an
application before her Majesty. Without her Majesty's
consent it could not be done. (hear, hear.)
OUDE.

Sir E. PERRY asked the President of the Board of
Control, whether any despatches had been received by
the last mail, relating to the pacification of Oude, and,
if so, whether there was any obj,ction to lay them on
the table ; and, whether teere was any copy at the
India House of the proclamation issued and the instruc-
tions given to thel .cal commissioners by Mr. M. Rphin-
stone on the conquest of the Deccan in 1819, with
respect to the rights of landholders, and the main-
tenaece of native usecr'es and customs ?
L STANLEY said no eflicial documents had
been received by the last mail on the subject cif the
pacification of Oude. With respect to the second part
of the question be had caused enquiry to Le made re-
specting it. No doubt tbo instruotiene, &c., were in
exiveuce at the India House, aryl if they vecra not too
voluminous he should have no obj ction to produce
them.
Sir E. PERRY asked if the Government had re-
ceived any information on the subj,,att, of Oude.
Lord STANLEY said he had seen a private letter.
It was not addressed to any nsomber of the late Govern-
tneut. (Hear, hear.)
THE SLAVE TRADE.
Viscount GODERICH. asited the Under-Sccretary of
State for Foreign Affairs, whether there was any truth
in the statement alleged to have been made by Mr.
Mason, United States Minister to France, that there
had been some communication between the Govern-
ments of England and France upon the subject of the
xportation of negroes from the Wet Coast of Africi,
in the course of which her Majesty's Government had
informed Count Walewski that they would not object to
the French scheme for that purpose, whi:e the wants of
the British colonies were being supplied by the Coolie
trade
Mr. S. FITZGERa's LD sail there must have been
some grave mi,apprehension on the part of Mr. Masoc
when he made the statement referred to. Communica-
tions hal passed between her Majesty's Government
and the French Government as to the free emigration
scheme referred to, and her Majesty's Government had
expressed their regret that it should have been sug-
gested. He had no reason to believe the scheme had
been given up. Her Majesty's Government had
strongly expressed their opinion on the danger of such a
scheme being carried out on the coast of Africa. Her
Mr:jesty's Government suggested to the French Govern-
ment that they should each name a person to inquire
into the cireunstances on the spot, and he was happy
to say it had been Mowed.
CHURCH PATRONAGE IN THE DIOCESE OF
DURHAM.

Lord V. TEMPEST ask?ciiir. Doedes, whether a
meeting of the Ecclesiastical Cimmissionen was hell
this day, or was in contemplation, for the purpose of
considering the scheme of appropriating a portion of the
Ciiurch patronage situated in the See of Durban), or in
the gift of the bishop of that diocese, for the purpose of
tran4,,rring it to other sees ; and, whether it was the
intention of the Ecclesia3tical Commissioners to act on
this principle, without taking the opinion of this house
on the justice of such a course.

Lord Jersey

Mr. DEEDES kaid a meeting; had taken place this day.
A memorandum for the readjustment of the see of Dor
ham was submitted to the Commissioners, who referred
it for further consideration to a committee formed far
that rurpose. Till that committee had reported he
could not give an answer to the qv:stion.
Mr. LIDDELL asked if the memorandum ruf?rred to
affected 18 livings.
Mr. DEEDES said he was unable to state the exact
number.

Gilliver
Lor,l Jersey
Thornhill

Lord V. TEMPEST asked the hon. vntlernan if it
was the into: tion of the ecclesiastical commisEionersto act
upon the report of the committee irrespective of a refer-
ence to that house on the stake.
Mr. DEEDES' said the act required the commissioners
to do a certain thing. It woul I be premature to announce
the intention of the commissioners.
DUDE.

In answer to is question from Mr. Floßstm,r,
Lord SPANLEY sa'd he believed a priv:tte letter had
been received by the Chairman of the C,,urt of Directors
from Lord Canning. It was not in hie possession, and
so far as he was aware no official documents had reached
this country that it was in his power to lay before the
house.

REPRESENTATION OF GREEN WICEI.
Mr. H. FITZROY moved for a c Ty of the record of
adjudication in bankruptcy against Mr. J. Townsend,
member for Greenwich.—Agreed to.
COUNTY FRANCHISE BILL.
Mr. LOCKE KING moved the second reading of
the County Franchise Bill, which, he said, contained
the same provisions as his bill cf last session on
the subj..ot. The hon. and learned gentleman entered
at great length into a statistical statement to show the
necessity of such a measure. Thera was no promise of
a reform bill this session that made it necessary for him
to again withdraw it. It was to be considered as one of
a series cf reform measures the house would be called
upon to parp, for he despaired of seeing a comprehensive
measure of reform being introduced into that house.
Mr. DU CANE moved, as an amendment, that the
Lill be read a second time this day six months. He
considered this a species of legislation which he charac-
terised as blindfold baud to mouth legislation.
[LEFT SPEAKING ]

THE HOUSE OF LORDS AND THE JEWS.

The first of the two Jew Bills in the House of
Lords is called the " Oaths Substitution Bill," and
is presented by the venerable Lord Lyndhurst. It
substitutes one general oath of allegiance to her
Majesty for the present oaths of allegiance, supre-
macy, and abjuration, and retains the form of affir-
mation for mmabers of the Society of Friends.
Clause 5 enacts that whenever, in either house, a
new member shall declare that he cannotconscieu-

tiou4y use the words, "on the true faith of a
Christian," the offensive words may be omitted pro
hac vice, and the oath be taken by the conscientious
objector without the passage in question. This
omission must be determined by the house itself.
In all other cases where the oath is to be adminis-
tered the obnoxious phrase, "on the true faith of
a Christian," may also. be struck out. Petsons of
the Hebrew persuasion may subscribe the declara-
tion set forth in the Act Bth and 9th Vict., cap. 52,
in lieu of the declaration required by the Act 9th
Geo. IV., cap. 17. The act will not touch the
Papists' Kelief Act of 1829, nor enable Jews to hold
certain high offices in the State. The Bill of the
Earl of Lucau is celled the " JeNh' Biil," and
enacts that conscientious Jewiah members of Parlia-
ment may take the oath of abjuration in a modified
form, if the house so resolve. Of couree, as the bill
stand7i, any member may oppose a mo!ion to omit
the (to the Jew) offensive passage, "on the true
faith of a Christian."

Baron RAhsellild (the Vienna cm) is in luck. On
June 2 he was doclarcd winner in the "lottery of St.
Genoi," to the amount of 73,000 timing. Chance wilt
carry coals to Newcastle.

THE TRANSFER OF ESTATES BILL.—The Select Com-
mittee of the House of Lords have reported against the
expediency of proceeding with the above Bill. They
have, however, introduced several of its ulatfacf) into the
Law of Property Airendnaeut Bill.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

- -
HAMPTON RACES—WEDNEsDAY.
The attendance for a " first day" was numerous, and
the weather highly favourable. The third race—the
Stand Plate occasioned a dead beat, which caused the
sport to be prelcnged far beyond the appointed time.
After the "dead heat" it was found necessary to alter
slightly the position of the winning post, which was not
strictly in a line with the judge's chair.
Shortly before the termination of the racing, Mr. La
Mert, the owner of Zitella, intimated to Admiral Roue
his intention of entering a pretest against the judge's
decision for the Claremont Stakes, for which Mr. La
Mert's filly was placed second ; and although the admiral
assured him in positive terms that the judge's decision
was un,lterabie and final, Mr. La Mert delivered the
following written protest to the care of Mr. Ed ward
Hibburd, clerk of the course :

" June 9, 1853.
"To the Stewards of the Hampton Races.
" Gentlemen,—l protest against the decision of the
judge in the Claremont Stakes between my mare Zitella
and Rosabel, on the ground that the judge's chair was
removed alter the third race ; and I therefore claim the
stakes and bets, or bets only.
