AS soon as the decision of their Lordshlps was
communicated to the people assembled in Palace
Yard, they rent the air with shouts, which were
distinctly heard IN the House.
On our re admission, we found the Lord Chan.
aelor proposing several verbal amendments in
the Bill, which, after brief conversation, were
adopted. The question "That this Bill do pass"
was then put and agreed to-
A number of noble lords Immediately sur
rounded Earl Grey, and appeared to be cougra-
tulating him on the successful termination of his
arduous labors. The bills on the table were
then forwarded IN their respective stages; and at
few minutes after 10 O'Clock their ordships adj
journed.
The bill was immediately transmitted to the
Commons.
