i
ton was taken, and there appeared,
For the amendment, i42.
Against it, 800.
Majority in favor of the Bill, l7s.
The bill was then read third time, and pass-
ed.
The Morning Pos, of the sist, says:
81, is 10 be presented 10 the House Of Lords
this day. No debate is likely TO take place on
the FIRST reading. The great discussion will
be reserved for the second stage Of the bill,
which is expected 10 be fixed for Friday or
Monday next"
The Irish Forty Shilling Freeholders' Dis
reimbursement Bill, was also read a third time
and passed.
The Duke of Wellington had long inter.
view on the aorh with Mr.. Peel and afterwards
left town for the Kings palace at Windsor, to
have an audience with his Majesty
The Standard Of The evening Of March 3D.,
observes
" Minister'S have been in active commune
cation from an early hour this morning. The
Duke Of Wellington has, since his return from
Winsdor, been visited by most Of his collie agues
The result OF his interview with his Majesty,
has not OF course TRANSFERRED; il is however.
confidently stated TO have been OF a mos, inter:
esting and vi!ally important nature. The Pre-
mier sent several messengers for the Lord
President to attend him this MOI ming, previ-
Gus to that noble Lords arrival at his Office.
Rumors are to-day even more prevalent than
yesterday"
The Courier, which is opposed 10 the Eman.
eipation Bill, admits that j. will be carried in
the Lords by so majority. We learn through
another channel worthy Of confidence, that
Ministers count upon ma ori,y of 70 in the
House of Peers, including 10 or u bishops.
The second reading of the bill 10 The Lords
the Courier supposes might be fixed for Mon
day the 9th of April the Committee on Thurs
day the s,h-the report on the loh-and the
third reading on Monday the 18th of April /;
in which case the Royal Assem-, will be given
before the adjournment Of the House for the
Easter Holidays,
The same paper announces that the Attor-
ney General has also been notified that his
Majesty has 40 further occasion for his SER
vices. In respect to this removal, the Times
remarks -
"When his Majesty, in the speech which o.
pens Session oil Parliament, recommends tue
consideration Of a measure with view 10 some
change, which both consideration of ih. --A--
sure aud projected changes one Of his own SER
wants declares it to Ls unconstitutional, WICK.
cd and absurd, there can be no question bu'
that somebody mus, go out: and as the midi
vidual servant can be more easily parted with
than either the King or the Ministry, the con-
cusion is unav oidable. We cannot conceive
why, having determined to oppose ministers
al me asurs, the Attorney General should choose
TO linger any longer in the ministry. He wait
ed 10 be turned out, instead OF rendering his
resignation. II Mr.. Peel had adop,ed SINH
lar cpurse-if he had waied for a while, ill
passion had subsidized, and Till the Bills now in
transitu, had quietly and benehcially commen-
ced their operation, as We have 10 doubt VIII
be :he case-he never would have lost Oxford,
and wthou, any disparagement OF Sir X. In
CHS, we feel convinced that it will not be long
ere that learned body will deeply regret that Il
has accepted worse man in lieu OF better
Blu, who is to be the new Attorney-Gsnersl -
We know not. We hope whoever he may be
that shall arrive at that dignity, tina, he will, il
need be. know how to retire with better grace
than Sir Charles Wetheral."
Mr.. O'CoNxELL.-The divisions in the com.
mittee on the Catholic Relief Bill were tri-
umphan, proofs Of the certain progress OF that

Que circumstance was stated which lin the o.
piuion of the London Times,) reflects great
credi, on MI O'ConnelPs good sense and lib
eral feeling. He, it appears had desired two
honorable members to depreeote any oPposl-
ton OH his account TO that clause OF the bill
whic h tffec,ually excludes him from Parliament
excep, after fresh election. He has sacrificed
his personal feelings in very handsome man
ner, content 10 bear an individual defeat, rath.
er than obstruct great public cause.
MIR. O'Connel, had returned to Ireland tor
the purpose Of taking par, in the arguments
Of most important case, which is about to
come before the Court Of Chancsry. The learn

to Loadon in week or ten days.
