TILE EARL MARSHAL.

Lord /TOLL.% ND ro,e, pursuant tc. the order of the day, to
consider the propiiety of suspending the standing orders, for the
purpose of passing a Bill to excuse the hereditary Earl ilarshal,
who is a Ihinian Catholic, from taking the oath of supremacy, which
is supposed to be neci-ssary, under the law as it now stands, before
he can execute the duties of that high office. The Noble Baron
said, he had reason to think, from the debate of yesterday, that he
should not obtain a majority on the question fur suspending the
orders, therefore he should not trouble the House with any motion
on the subject. The Noble Earl then discharged tlie older of the
day, and moved the second reading of his Bill.
The LORD CHANCELLOR did not think it fair to pass this
Bill at so late a period of the Session, and therefore muved it be read
a second time next Session of Parliament.
Lord ELLENBOROCGIIsupported the Bill, and thought it
ought to pass.
Lord HOLLAND did not wish to take the House by surprise.
.—Ho had presented the Bill, because it was his firm opinion, that
the wish of the House was to grant the boon to the Earl Marshal.
There could not be a better opportunity to show their regard for
the Noble Duke than the presenr,when he was under a severe family
affliction. The House divided on the question:
For the second reading - - - 24
Far the Amendment - - - 10

Majority
The Dill was then read a second time, and the third reading is
to take place on Monday. The Lords agreed to dispense with the
Committee.—Adjourned.

Gazettes from Sidney, New South Wales, to the 29th
of January, and from flobart's-town, Van Dieman's
Land, to the 9i of January, have been received. Both
colonies appear to be in a rapid state of improvement,
of whicii, perhaps, there can be no better proof than the',
dive: Shied contents of the Journals themselves, which
are nearly equal in size and importance to the English
Newspapers of 20 years since, and present nearly the same
vai icty of subjects. One of the deficiencies under which
both colonies seem to suffer, is that of a good system of
banking—a detect, however, which is common to all
rising countries. The French frigate Coquille had ar-
rived at Sidney, having been out from home 18 months,
and expectingtan equally long period to elapse before
her return to France. The objects of the voyage are
the improvement of natural history and geography.
Lieutenant Cuthbertson, of the 48th Regiment, Com-
mandant of the new settlement of Macquarrie Harbour,
in Van Dieman's Land, was unfortunately drowned on
the 29th of December, together with six men, in at-
tempting to save a new schooner which had driven from
its moorings. Mr. Field, Judge of the Supreme Court,
had embarked on board the Competitor, for Eoglaal
