Description	Lord Shaftesbury's difficulty in accepting office, owing to his former votes on the subject of Maynooth. Mr Wilson's decision not to risk a by-election.

Sir John Herschel's resignation of his appointment as Master of the Mint. Captain H.D. Harness R.E. (after Sir) proposed by Lord Palmerston as his successor.
