new colleges hall or halls In which religious m
struction might be given to the young men, by
pastors of their own religion; ana ne, therefore,
should not be ndsposed to add to that clause OF the
bill which gave increased facilities for making re-

On the motion of Mr.. Mines, the debate was ad-
journed till June 3D.
In the House of Commons, June Cd, the debate
the Irish academical institutions bill was resum-
ed. The speakers were Mr.. M. Mines, Lord John
Russell, Lord Mahon, Messrs. Stuart Gladstone,
O'Ferrall and Sir Robert Peel, who were all in favor
of the bill, though mostly with modification. On a
division, the second reading was carried by 3ll to
46, leaving majority of $685.
In the House of Lords, on the Odd, Lord Beau
mont moved for certain correspondence on the af-
fairs of Greece; which motion, after few remarks
from Lord Aberdeen, was Withdrawn.
The Lord Chancellor then moved the second read
ing Of the charitable requests bill. The present
measure was intended to remedy the abuses which
had been detected in the superintendent over char
table trusts. At present, the court of chancery was
the only tribunal which took cognlzance OF breaches
of trust but though eminently fitted for fulfilling
this office in the case of large endowments, the ma
chinery Of the court was inappcabe TO small char
tiles. The noble lord then proved the truth OF this,
by several cases taken from the report, and pro-
ceeded to state that his measure would in the
appointment by the Crown of commissioners who
should have the power of filling up trustee
ships.
After conversation, in which Lords Cotenham
and Campbell and the Lord Chancellor took part, the
bill was read second time, on the understanding
that it should be referred to select committee 10
be nominated by the Lord Chancellor Their lord
ships then adjourned.
On the 23d ult, on the motion of the Duke of
Wellington, the Maynooth college bill was read a
first time, and ordered to be read second time
the I'd Of June.
The Earl of Chareville strongly urged the neces-
sity Of postponing the second reading to later
period, to give time for the various petitions which
would doubtless be presented against the measure.
The Duke of Wellington, considering the adj
vanced period of the session. and the heightened dis
cussions that had taken place in the other house of
Parliament, could not consent to any further post
ponement.
On the Goth ult. Lord Cottenham moved the
SeCOnu reaulIlS OF the cCCeSaSuCal courts COnSOu-
daiion bill. The proposition he intended to make
was, that central court should be established in
London, to which all wills should be sent, and that
it should have surrogates acting in the towns where
the diocesan courts were now held, who should
grant probates when the amount of property was
small but be obliged, in every case, to send the will
to London TO be registered; so that in future every
mans tesamentary dispositions might be found in
the metropolis. In question of divorce and excom
municaon this central court would retain the power
of the old courts. The bill was read second time
and the house adjourned till Friday, the Both ut.,
when Lord Radnor moved the second reading of a
bill to regulate the practice Of the Secretary of State
in opening letters
Lord Stanley opposed it.
Lord Denman, at great length, supported the
measure. The question, declared the chief justice,
was, whether the whole correspondence Of the
try was to be at the mercy Of the Secretary of State,
because it might be convenient to ascertain the
secrets of eight people per annum He hoped the
house would never hear that the Crown had any
prerogative for opening the letters of its Subjects for
such claim was unsupported by any legal proof.
Lord Brougham opposed the bill, as also did the
Lord CHANCELLOR Lord Campbell and Lord Nor
manly supportingit. For the second reading, nine;
against it, ffty-fve. The house then adjourned
till the Cd inst.
On Monday evening, Cd June, the Maynooth
college bill was brought forward. The Duke of
Wellington moved its second reading, when long
debate ensued; in which the Duke took pars in a
speech of great length and animation. An amend
ment was proposed by the Earl Of Roden, that
select committee be appointed to inquire into the
nature Of the standard books used at Maynooth,
and the discipline there adopted In the debate
which followed, the Bishop of London strongly
opposed the bill. Several peers addressed the
house, and ultimately the debate was adjourned.
