At half-past 4 o'clock the Lord Chancellor entered the
house and took his seat on the woolsack. Among the peers
present were Earl Granville, Viscount Evereley, Lord
Chelmsford, Lord Portman, and Lord Belhaven,
Earl GRAN VILLE said her Majesty has been pleased
to create Sir R. Bethel], Knight, Lord High Chancellor of
the United Kingdom of Great Britain, a peer of this realm.
The Lord Chancellor then withdrew and returned in his
robes of State, attended by the Usher of the Black Rod (Sir
A. Clifford), Garter King-at-Arms (Sir Chas. Young), and
the Lord Groat Chamberlain (Lord Willoughby D'Eresby).
His lordship, who was introduced by Lord Brougham and
Lord Cranworth, ascended the steps of the throne, and,
kneeling, deposited on the throne his patent of nobility.
The patent of his lordship's creation, under the name and
style of Baron Westbury, of Westbury, in the county of
Wilts, was then read at the table. His lordship thereupon
took the oaths and entered his name in the roll of peers,
after which, carrying the Great Seal, again attended by the
Lord Great Chamberlain, the Usher of the Black Rod, and
GarterKing-at-Arms,with Lord Brougham and Lord Cran-
worth, he took his seat on the junior baron's bench, next
on the duke's bench, and finally on the woolsack, where he
received the congratulations of the peers present.
Their lordships resumed the sitting at 5 o'clock.

The London and North Western Railway Bill (Liverpool
line) was read a third time and passed.
CHURCH BUILDING ACTS AMENDMENT BILL.
The Bishop of CHICHESTER withdrew the further
consideration of this bill for the present, but he hoped to
be in a position very shortly to introduce another measure,
and one which was not open to the objections of the bill
standing for a second reading that evening.
Lord PORTMAN concurred in the propriety of with-
drawing the bill.
PORTPATRICK HARBOUR BILL.

This bill, the object of which was to give the Admiralty
power to close the harbour during the progress of certain

the Duke of SOMERSET.

This bill, on the motion of the Earl of CORK, was read
a second time.

THE TURNER PICTURES.

Lord ST. LEOTARDS rose to ask the President of the
Council whether any steps had been taken to provide a
separate gallery for the Turner pictures, in connec-
tion with the National Gallery, according to the
conditions of his will, under which the nation
possessed the pictures. The noble and learned lord referred
to the manner in which the petitions were bequeathed to
the nation, and said that it was not only a national but a
legal obligation to carry out the provisions of the late emi-
nent painter.
Lord GRANVILLE said that several plans had been
suggested for providing accommodation for these pictures,
but, as these plans had not been thoroughly examined, it
would be premature to express any opinion or decision on
them. . _ _

Vu
Lord OVERSTONE thought that the will of Mr. Tar.
ner should be fully carried out, as it was necessary that the
nation should exhibit the most scrupulous fidelity in ful-
filling the wishes of testators who left such treasures to its
care.
After a few words from Lords MONTEAGLE and ELLES-
MERE the subject dropped.
Their lordships adjourned at 5 minutes to 7 o'clock.
