securities" but particularly dlsrusts those OF private
associations for constructing railro or canals.
We gave Yesterday summary Of the proceedings
in both houses on the 18th July. On Saturday the
20th the House of Lords did not SIT In the House
of Commons petitions were presented against the
sanction still gwen by the government to idoiauous
worship in India.
The greater part of the session was consumed IN
the discussion Of the bill providing for the conveyance
of tie mails on railways. The various clauses of the
bill agreed TO, and the report ordered 10 be re-
ceved on Monday.
In the House Of Lords, Monday, July %, the Bi-
shop of Exeter inquired of Lord Genelg whether the
folowg was part Of an Official letter 10 the Earl Of
nors having been framed before the passing OF the
law for the relief of Roman Catholics are in many
particulars conceived in spirit opposed to religious
toleration as now understood and practised." He
wished to know if that was part Of the official let
teri
Lord Glenelg said il was.
The Bishop Of Exeter said that such being the case,
he could not but express his surprise that such let
ter should be written, and he had to ask in what
respect the noble lord thought the standing insruc
lions TO Governors conceived In sprt opposed to
religious toleraton understood and practised.
Lord Genele-Although he thought the course
pursued by the Right Rev. Prelate extremely iRcon-
venisnt wsuld endeayor to answer him. Under the
old Instructions, the Governor was directed to admi
mister the oath te the members OF the Legislative
! Council, which would prevent any Catholic from
taking his seat; after the Catholic relief bill had
passod cemmis6(on wss sent out, directing the
Governor to administer the oath according to the
Catholic relief BILL and if therefore the old regulations
were adhered TO by the Governor, Lord Aylmer)
he would have broken in upon the provisions of that
bll.
l'he instructions had not been carried into opera
ton, and could not be- and it was therefore absurd to
keep up instructions which were 80 circumstanced.
Hear The only object Of the instructions to
root up the Catholic church, for it gave liberty 10
Catholic priests to marry, and desecrated their burial
places. BY the instructions also, Catholic priest
was 10 be deprived Of his bcnefce if he converted
Protestant 70 his faith. (Hear, hear. Such being
the casc, he thought he was we'll founded in stating
prelate were conceived in spirit opposed te the re-
ligious toleranon now understood and practised.
The Bishop OF Exeter said that the noble lord ap-
pcsred 10 have fallen into one great and principal
ror which that the Catholic religion was the
tablished form of religion in Canada. Now every
person At all acquainted with the subject must know
that such was not the case There had never been,
least t within the last four or five years Roman
Catholic Bshop at the head Of the Church of Canada
His complaint was not want Of energy on the part
Of the government. Left speaking)
In the House Of Commons Lord Chondas moved
for q return Of oil appointments made by the Earl of
Durham, with the salaries.
Great numbers Of petitions were presented, against
1he sanction Of ideatrcus worship in India, and
sss'sst the sale Of spntuous liquors in grocers
shops.
She subject was referred has come TO the conclusion
that uniform rate of postage should be sdeped, Of
twoPencc on each letter.

the latter in nineteen days. Now, IN comparing the
passage Of the ship and the steamer from the Gar.

steam would not have yielded any advantage over

STEAMSHIP TO BnIrIsH NoRTH AxsncA.--An
opinion begins 10 prevail now that the facility and
advantage Of steam navigation across the Atlantic
