SIR,—kr. Whitbread- ought to tell your readers that the Bishop

of Oxford's Bill received support ias well as criticism) from all quarters of the House of Lords, and that many of the statements made against it by its chief opponents were -abs-olutely untrue and misleading. If the Bill had been as faulty as he tries to make-out; its opponents would have exposed these faults, instead of indulging in vague irrelevancies

and actual inaccuracies.—I am, Sir, &c., ASTOR.
