Sir Frederic Rogers was also pleased to request that we would favour you. Sir, with our opinion whether, and with what modifications, the inclosed draft Bill may be submitted to Parliament; and further that, as you were desirous of laying the Bill before Parliament without delay, you would be glad to receive our opinion upon it at our carliest convenience.

Sir Frederic Rogers, in a subsequent letter, dated the 2nd instant, inclosed the draft of a Colonial Bishops Bill, which he begged might be substituted for the draft inclosed in his letter of the 31st of January.

In compliance with the request contained in Sir Frederic Rogers' letter, we have taken this matter into consideration, and have the honour to report-

That, with the slight alterations* which we have made, we think this Bill proper to be introduced into Parliament.

We have, &c.

(Signed)

ROUNDELL PALMER. R. P. COLLIER. ROBERT PHILLIMORE.

• These alterations have been made in the Bill.
