IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS, July 11.
SEES OF ST. ASAPH AND BANGOR BILL.
Earl POWIS then rose, and said that it was his in-
tention to withdraw this Bill, in consequence of the report
of the Committee which had been appointed on this subject
being rgainst him. Ile had also since the last discussion
upon this Bill, been in communication with the Noble
Duke near him (Wellington), as to whether it was likely
that her Majesty's consent would be obtainied for the pass-
ing of this Bill. The answer of the Noble Duke was that
such consent would not be given ; and, u nder these cir-
cumstances, he (Earl Powis) felt const rained to adopt
the course which he had just intimated tot heir Lordships.
The Bishop of SALISBURY recommended her Ma-
jesty's Government to reconsider this que*tion. He very
much regretted that the Noble Earl had been compelled
to withdraw this Bill, for he felt that if it had been
passed it would have been found to be a very beneficial
measure. He trusted, however, that the Government
would in the next session of Parliament introduce a Bill
themselves upon this subject.
The Earl of MOUNTEDGECUMBE regretted that a
decision of a majority of that House had been put aside
in a manner by which the majority on the second reading
of this Bill bad been rendered ineffectual. He felt that
it would not be more for the benefit of the country than
her Majesty's Government if they were to re-consider
this subject, and render it unnecessary for the Noble
Earl to bring in his Bill again in the next session of
Parliament.

The Duke of WELLENGTOINT defended the course
which ' had been taken by her Majesty's Government.
He contended that the repeal of the union of the sees
of St. Asaph and Bangor would cut away the foundation
of all those Acts which were passed in 6 and 7 Wm. IV.,
upon the recommendation contained in the report of
the Ecclesiastical Commis.ioners. By these Acts
certain powers were granted to her Majesty, and there-
