IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

port the union of the sees of St. Asaph and Bangor,
as the only means of establishing a bishopric of Man-
chester.

HOUSE OF LORDS, June 11.
Their Lordships assembled at Five o'Clock.
The Bishop of SALISBURY presented petitions
against the union of the sees of St. Asaph and Bangor.
Similar petitions were presented by the Earl of Gal-
loway, the Earl of Devon, and the Bishup of Exeter.
The Bishop of EXETER postponed from Thursday
to Friday the second reading of the Brothels Suppres-
sion Bill.

The Earl of WINCHILSEA. said that it was with the
deepest regret that he was obliged to oppose those for
whom he entertained the highest respect ; but, at the
same time, he never rose with more satisfaction to oppose
any measure than he did to oppose that proposed by the
Noble Lord. It had been urged that it would be a vast
inconvenience for the poor clergymen of Wales to com-
municate with a distant Bishop if the measure before
them were not agreed to, but it would infer no great in-
convenience for poor clergymen to go thirty, or forty, or
fifty miles, even if two bishops were appointed. Ile
thought the object of his Noble Friend was merely con-
fined to the erection of the two bishoprics. He
would not trouble the House with any further remarks,
but he would protest against the reading of his Noble
Friend's Bill.
The Bishop of LONDON said that he was opposed to
the Bill in its present state.
Lord VIVIAN said that he begged to state a fact
to their Lordships, namely, that the people of the Prin-
cipality of Wales cared very little about the juncture
of the sees. He wished to remove the impression from
their Lordships' minds that the population generally did so.
The Bishop of EXETER supported the Bill. He would
not care for a seat in that House, if he had to hold it
against the feeling of the country. He for one would be
glad to retire from that House, if the people of the coun-
try should entertain an opinion that the Bishops ought
not to have a seat in that House; but he believed that
the presence of the Bishops had a very beneficial influ-
ence on their Lordships' deliberations. 'With respect to
the question before the House, he feared that the Noble
Earl (Powis) would be unsuccessful in his motion, but he
trusted that the Noble Earl, if defeated, would renew his
motion from year to year until at last he succeeded in
extracting this measure from the Government.
The Duke of WELLINGTON and the Archbishop of
CANTERBURY briefly explained.
The Bishop of SALISBURY said, that having had
the duties of two bishoprics thrown upon him, he
must say that his experience had led him to form the
opinion that a union of two sees could give satisfaction
to no man. Of all the petitions t hat crowded their
Lordships' table, was there one which was in opposition
to the Bill introduced by his Noble Friend? It was not
without pain that he and other Reverend Prelates were
compelled to oppose him whom they were accustomed to
support. But they had a duty to perform, and that duty
must be done to themselves and the country. Would
the country be gratified to see the responsible advisers of
the Crown wronging that higher section, who were the
best guarantees for the fidelity of the people?
Lord HARROWBY supported the Bill.
Their Lordships then divided, when there appeared—

Several Bills were then forwarded a stage, and the
House Adjourned.

SANATORY CONDITION OF THE POOR.
The Marquis of NORMANBY rose to ask when the
report respecting the sanatory condition of the poor
would be ready for presentation, and also whether
the report would contain any recommendation of a
plan to remedy the evils which were now complained of.
5( It was absolutely necessary that some step should be
taken to meet the existing evils ; for such was the con-
dition of the poor at present, that annually as many as
)4 50,000 persons died of fever, arising from the condition
of their dwellings. It appeared from the evidence of
Mr. Lewis, a minister of a parish in Dtendee, that the an-
nual cost to that town, in consequence of the prevalence
of fever arising from the condition of the poor, was 25,0001.
The subject demanded the greatest consideration of Par-
liament. The information that was necessary might
have been acquired in a quarter of the time that the Go-
vernment had taken. He now wished to ask when the
report would be presented to Parliament, whether any
remedial measure would be proposed, and whether the
Metropolitan Buildings Act would be carried forward
this session ?
The Duke of BUCCLEUCH was sensible that there
were a great mealy evils in the old and the continued
modes of building new towns, but there was a groat diffi-
culty in finding out what the remedies might be. A Bill
had been brought in for the improvement of the town of
Leeds, but it fell a dead letter in their Lordships' House.
The papers which the Noble Marquis wished to have,
could not be presented within a few days, and ho did not
think it was possible in this session to introduce such a
measure.
The Marquis of NORMANBY heard the statement
of his Noble Friend with extreme regret. He had ex .
petted that the case of Leeds would have formed the
foundation of a Government measure. He could only
repeat that he thought that a very great deal of time
had been wasted in considering that subject ; and he
thought, even with the Noble Duke's explanation, that
more might have been done, with efficient local manage-
) ment, in the case he had cited.
41 SEES OF BANGOR AND ST. ASAPH.
Earl POWIS, after presenting several petitions
against the union of the sees of Bangor and St. Asaph,
$ said that he never, on any occasion, approached a
question with such great anxiety as he did on
134 that occasion, for he felt much on the subject-matter of
the petitions he had just presented. On this important
Church question he was sorry to find himself opposed to
