"Nov. 28. Sir H. Verney moved for leave to bring in a Bill to relieve the Ecclesiastical Commissioners of England and Wales from the duty of laying before Her Majesty in Council a scheme for uniting the sees of Carlisle and Sodor and Man. The motion, which was supported by Sirs R. Inglis and E. Codrington, and opposed by Lord John Russell and Sir Robert Peel, was lost on a division, by a majority of 159 against 53."

"Feb. 22. The Earl of Ripon, in moving the order of the day for the second reading of the SODOR AND MAN BISHOPRICK BILL, was happy to state , that in consequence of communications which had taken place between the Ecclesiastical Commissioners and the authorities of the Isle of Man, the former had come to the determination to recommend, not the union of the bishoprick with that of Carlisle, but its continuance as a separate see. The Archbishop of Canterbury, in giving his consent, under these circumstances, to the passing of the present Bill, said he wished it not to be supposed that he was ready to yield on other points to alterations of the Bill passed two sessions ago for effecting a new distribution of the dioceses. He felt bound to state that he should resist any propositions which might have any tendency to interfere with the general principles of that measure. - The Bishop of Exeter said there was one part of the statute to which the most Rev. Prelate had just alluded, which he thought most unconstitutional and most dangerous to the spiritual interests of the Church - he meant that part which related to the constitution of the commission, which he deplored as fatal to the security and dignity of the Church. He therefore hoped that better times would come, when that Act would be removed from the statute book. - The Bishop of London defended the Commissioners; they had not made one step from the Act; and it was impossible for them to originate any measure that would affect the general interests of the Church."
