wait on his lordship and give him further information on the
subject. The information was that the incumbent of this dis-
trict had been in the habit of attending the Roman Catholic
Chapel in King William-street, Strand. The question which
he had to ask the noble lord was, whether the bishops or arch-
bishops of the church were about to take any steps for the pur-
pose of suppressing these practices, against which, as they
said, they had preached for ten years ; or were they to leave it
to the laity to

Ike those steps, for the purpose of fulfilling
those duties which the ecclesiastics of the church bad neglected.

POSTPONEMENT OF THE BUDGET

Lord J. RUSSELL then rose, amidst profound silence, and
said he had to ask the house that the order of the day might
stand for Monday next, on which day he would explain his rea-
son for having made the request.—(Hear.)—Mr. HEaRSES
asked the noble lora whether her Majesty's government in-

RUSSELL said he was unable to give a positive undertaking.
lie would only promise on Monday night to state the reasons

six o'clock.

AMERICA.

The Franklin Steamer arrived off Cowes on Thursday
afternoon, 3 p.m., landed mails, and proceeded to Havre.
She left New York on the Bth instant. She had 47 pas-
sengers, and specie value 500,000 dollars, and 500 bales of
cotton for Havre. The steamer Empire City arrived at
New York on the Bth instant, with 750,000 dollars gold
dust on freght, and 300,000 in hands of passengers.—
San Francisco dates are of 31st December. California
accounts are less encouraging. The mines were yielding
less than during last season, but preparations were made
to work the quartz mines during the spring and summer.
Cholera has entirely disappeared. Crime still prevails.
The aggregate amount of shipments of gold dust last
year, according to the official list, was nearly £6,000,000
sterling. It was estimated that 12,000,000 dollars had
gone forward in private hands, and 5,000,000 dollars being
retained for circulation, making a total of between 9,000,000
and 10,000,000 sterling. There were several gales on the
15th and 16th December, and the British ship Mersey was
lost in the bay of San Francisco. Business at San Fran-
cisco very dull, and prices of leading articles still lower.
The dates are from Washington of the 7th instant. The
naval committee of the Senate had put their veto upon
the extension of any new steamer line across the Atlantis,
under government patronage, for the present session, by
a formal vote. The commercial transactions are much
the same as by the previous arrival.
