passing bill asserting the Queens supremacy
IN her dominious.
Messrs. Newdegate, Stafford, Plumptre aud
Col Sibthorpe, expressed their disqualification
with the bill SIS amended, which they considered
Unequal to the emergencies Of the case.
The second reading Of the bill was postponed
to Friday, March IA.
Upon these notifications Of the antiPapal
measure The Times OF the sthremarks as follows,
We have recently passed through Ministerial
crisis, as every body knows. of extraordinary
length and severity. We have been assured by
every actor in that most complicated and incon-
elusive drama that the obstacle to the formation
Of a strong, compact and efficient Government
was 10 be found, rot in the clamor for protec-
ton to agriculture, 1or in the signal miscarriage
Of the Ministerial budget, yet IN the Ill timed
opposition to Parliamentary reform, but wholly,

This was a matter OF principle on both sides,
which no anxiety for the public servlce-no ex-
pe6iency, however mRniiest-no calls Of patriot

Russell relied on has letter TO the Bishop OF Dur

Of which so much inestimable time and invalu-

Grey and Lord John Russell in this House of Com.
mons. Ii is actually determined to strike out OF
the bill which gave so poor and inadequate an ex-
preston to the public feeling, the second clause.
which renders invalid all deeds executed under
the prohibited style and title and the third clause,
by which all property left or conveyed to persons
bearing these illegal titles is forfeited to the
Crown The bill will therefore be reduced to its
first clause, imposing penalty Of &l0O for the
assumption of an ecclesiastical title taken from
any place in the United Kingdom, to be sued for

The effect of the measure is, therefore, this -

The policy OF Lord Stanley, and can readily admit

Lord John Russell, which begins by placing itself
at the head of popular enthusiasm and raising it
10 the highest pitch, only to dlsaPp0Int II by
most INADEQUATE measure-which makes that in
adequate measure the means of perpetusting the
weakness Of the Government and then emasculates
that inadequate measure till It becomes as little
acceptable to Protestant as to Romanist-such
policy as this we do not pretend to understand
With respect to the budget, changes are prom

has been made.
