Yesterday, the Home Secretary, Mr. Cross, was to move for

leave to introduce into the House of Commons a Bill for the creation of a new diocese of St. Alban's,—and for such a re- arrangement of the boundaries of the dioceses of Winchester, London, and Rochester as would be necessary in consequence of its creation. We go to press before the motion is made, but this independent action of the Government in the case of this new diocese does not seem to promise very well for the destiny of Lord Lyttelton's Bill.
