GhEECE.

Tle Marquis of I.ONDONILIkt4W said, his noble friend, the
Secretary for foreign afr.tirs, had laid on the table a considerable
mass of information relating to the pacification of Greece, yet as the
diplomatic transactions were of three years' standing, the mass was
not so great as might have been expected. Indeed their lordships
had rot before them all the information Parliament was intidtal to
demaid. He wished to ask his noble friend whether there was any
objection to give all the conferences of the foreign ambassadors at
Constantinople, and a copy of the despatches which had led to the
abandonment of one million of ducats on the part of Russia. Also
copies of the conferences of the Ambassadors at Poros.
The Earl of ABERDEEN said, that there could be no objection
to the production of tire conferences at Constantinople. With res.
pect to the conferences at Poros, he could not then give a distinct
ansiecr.

The Marquis of LONDONDERItY considered it most desira-
ble to arrive at a material fact, namely, whether Russia had aban.
dosed the claim of one million of ducats which she had upon the
Turkish government, in order to induce that government to agree to
the arrangements for the protection of Greece.
Lord HOLLAND wished the noble earl to say whether it was
his intention to lay before the house copies of the conference at l'o.
ros, on the subject of the boundaries of Greece, and whether there
was any report to his Majesty from persons appointed to ascertain
the extent of the boundaries ?

The Earl of ABERDEEN said, the noble lord would see, in the
conferences at Poros, the whole of the information required. No
persons had been appointed specially to report to his Majesty, but
there was a full report on that subject.
Lord HOLLAND then intimated that his wish was to learn
from the noble earl what were the motives which induced them
to alter the boundaries between the 22d of March and the 14th of
May.
The subject was then dropped.
wtcwsox's nivoic BILL.

The Marquis of SALISBUNT moved the order of the day
for calling counsel to the bar on the East Rettord Disfranchise-
ment Bill.

The Bishop of LONDON said it was his intention to move the
second reading of the bill to dissolve the marriage of Miss Hick-
son. The Noble Marquis wished him to postpone the proceeding
in favour of the East Retford Bill, and if the House should wish
that measure to take precedence, he should postpone his bill to
Wednesday.
Lord MALMESBURY thought the East Retford Bill, which
had been before the house one month, ought to give way to the bill
of the learned and reverend lord.

The Marquis of SALISBURY was sorry to say the order of
the house, which gave precedence to the East Retford Bill, had not
been strictly observed. lie understood Hickson's Marriage Bill
could be discussed in the morning.
Lord DURHAM expressed a hope that the learned and reverend
lord would bring on his bill.
After a few observations from Lord HOLLAND and Lord
GODERICH, their Lordships divided upon the question of calling
in Coun►el upon the East Retford Bill.
The numbers were—

Counsel were then called to the bar, to be heard pro and con, the
second reading of the Bill to dissolve the marriage of Miss Hick-
son, the young lady whose case has already been before the public.
Mr. Adam, as Counsel for Miss Hickson, called upon their lord-
ships to protect a young and innocent person, by dissolving her
marriage, on the ground that it had been solemnized illegally. Un-
less their lordships gave consent to the passing of the bill, the young
lady would be united for life to a person unsuited to her. After
the marriage, which had been brought about by sordid motives, the
young lady's family had the good fortune to prevent consummation.
There was no pollution whatever : no inconvenience could arise from
issue. The learned counsel stated the facts of the case ; the manner
in which she was carried off by Mr. Buxton, and the particulars
respecting her family.
The proceedings having occupied the house a considerable time,
their lordships adjourned.
