The royal assent was given by commission to Mt public.
and private bills.
The house adjourned.

The house resumed at five o'clock

The BISHOP of LONDON drew the attention of the
house to the withdrawal of salary from the Bishop of New
Zealand, which he condemned as a great injustice.
The Duke of Nswcs.srLE gave an explanation of the
eircumstances attending the withdrawal, similar to that
afforded by Sir G. GREY in the House of Commons.
Some discussion took place relative to the Cork and
Waterford Railway Bill, chiefly on the question whether
the standing orders had been complied with, and ended in
a division, the numbers being 48 to 33 in the affirmative.
Lord LYNDHURST entered into a lengthened statement
respecting the claims of Captain Carpenter on the Admi-
ralty, on account of the invention of a screw propeller for
the navy, concerning which certain negotiations had taken
place many years since. Captain Carpenter's screw had
been in use since that time, and he had not been able to
obtain compensation.
The Earl of ABERDEEN declined to enter into the rela-
tive merits of the screw propeller of Captain Carpenter
over that of other parties; but stated that the Admiralty
had acted on the highest legal authority. The present
board had taken the same course as its predecessors, and
viewed it purely as a patent question, leaving the parties
interested to find a remedy at law.

Lord HARDWICICE expressed his dissatisfaction at the
explanation offered by the Earl of Aberdeen, and consi-
dered that Captain Carpenter had been most unjustly
treated.

Lord J. RUSSELL stated that the Select Committee, to
whom this bill had been referred, had considered it with
