THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURYMy Lords, your Lordships will recollect that a few days since I stated, with refer- 560 ence to some observations made by the noble Earl opposite (the Earl of Shaftesbury) on the subject of a Bill which he was about to introduce, relating to Clerical Vestments, that the Bishops had under their consideration a Bill on that subject; but that they had not come to any final decision as to the course they should adopt. I am now happy to state that they have abandoned their Bill, in consequence of the probability of a Royal Commission being issued on the subject.
