HOUSE OF COMMONS.

The House met at 45 minutes past three o'clock.
Letters were read'from•the agents of petitions complaining of
undue returns for the* counties of Carlow and Leitrim, and
boroughs of Cashel and Salisbury, stating that it was not in-
tended to proceed with-those petitions.
Mr. H. DRUMMOND gave notice that whenever the hon.
member for Meath brought forward his bill for the repeal of
the Ecclesiastical Titles Act, he should move that the house be'
called over.

MT. WILSON gave notice that on Thursday next he should'
state the intentions of Government with respect to the Depart
ment of Customs.

In answer to a question from SirJ. PA KINOTON, LordJ. Rus--
SELL said, that in the opinion of the law-officers of the crown,,
if the Legislature of Canada secularised the reserves, now ap-
propriated to the clergy, therwould have no claim upon the
Consolidated Fund.

The LORD ADVOCATE, in reply to a question from Mr.
I/UNDAS, stated that an inquiry had been ordered into the
causes of the loss of the Duke of Sutherland steamer, in the
harbour of Aberdeen.

A new writ was ordered for the-county of Carlow, in place of
Colonel Bruen, deceased.

On the motion for the third reading of the Canada Clergy
Reserves Bill, Mr. WaLroLu moved, that, as an amendment,
the third reading be put off for six-months. The right hon.
gentleman supported this amendment' in a speech of con-
siderable length, in the course of which•he contended that the
bill would enable the Legislature of Canada to deal with the
investments in this country, under the plea of local legislation.
He further contended that the effect of the measure would be
this To secure the Roman Catholic endowments from inter-
ference, except by the Imperial Legislature, whilst those of the
Protestant Church might be dealt with by the legislature of
Canada. He also dwelt upon several• otner inconsistencies;
anomalies• which, he said, showed that government had not
duly considered the question.
Mr. HUME considered that the bill' would have a healing
rather than an irritating effect.
Mr. DRUMMOND thought the measure- was a bill to affect
Church plunder. It was a mistake to suppose that free trade
could be confined to corn and cotton. It • must extend to the
colonies.;, and the house might rest assuzed that the passing of
the bill would lead to the separation of every. English colony
from the mother country.
Mr. YORK., SEYMOUR supported the bill,. believing that it
would preserve and eon solidat e the union between England and
Canadi!,.rather than break it asunder.

Mr. LID MELL was opposed to the bill. Church Lands never
belonged to the Canadian people; and no injustice could be
done to them by reserving lands for their original purpose.
Sir EDWARD DERING supported the bill.
