ANOTHER DEFEAT OF THE AUSTRIANS. PARIS, idotras.e, HaLF-TAST TEN A.M. We have news from Milan to the 30th. The King of Sardinia occupied Lodi with 14,000 men, and was to be followed by the Duke of Savoy with 2,000 men and 1110 pieces of artillery. The despatch further states that 10,018) Romans and 7,000 Tuscans had arrived at the P. The Lombard and Swiss troops had defeated the Austrians at Bagriola, and had taken 800 prisoners. The ahuouncement of the intention of M. Thiers to decline the candidateship for the post of deputy in the assembly has produced some sensation. It, however, has been for some time well known among ale friends of M. Thiers that, although in his pub-* fished address he did not absolutely decline allow ing himself to be put in nomination, yet he wished not to be returned. Dr. Villeneuve, president of the association for the defence of national and reli gious liberty, is reported to have addressed a letter to the Mayor of Aix (which place M. Thiers has repre sented in the chambers for the last eighteen years), in which he says : I have to announce to you that M. Thiers inform, me that he renouneei wending for the post of deputy. This reolu non of Ilk um be disastrous for the welfare of France, as has been remsrkid by every one on reading the letter which I received from him this morning. Last night a report was circulated, on grounds which were considered to have a certain authenticity, that, on the arrival of a column of the Savoyard emi grants. who had left France and were returning to their country, the Governor of Chambery bad taken flight, and that Savoy had proclaimed itself a republic. Whether the intention was to form an independent republican state, or to annex itself to France, is not stated. Various reports of a tendency similar to this have been in circulation here during the last week, As I announced to you would be the case in a late despatch last evening, a decree appears to-day, by which the Orleans and Centre lines of railway, being unable to keep up the regular communications, are declared to be placed under sequestration, and it is ordered that henceforward they shall be conducted under the direction of the Minister of Public Works. The profits are to be credited for the present to the company, but received by the state. We read in the Nation,,! : " There have dis appeared from the Tuileries two enormous portfolios in which Louis Philippe kept his most curious corres pouleta e, and the papers which he might make use of agnitiot those who conceived the idea of turning against him or his ministers." Another individual has just been arrested on the charge of being concerned in setting fire to the man . and dcvastatiug the magnificent property, of M. de Rothschild at Suresnes. The report of the yesterday's Bourse, which I sent last evening, shows a further fall of lf. upon the Threes, and 2f. upon the Fives. Thus within the last two days the Three per Cents. have Lulea sr., being equivalent at their present prices to lust 2 0 per cent. Some encouragement seems to be felt to-day from the respect shown by the populace for the proclama tions of the Government, the Mayor of Paris, and the Preftet of Police. No attroupements nor pro cessions were teen yesterday, no trees of liberty, or forced illuminations, or discharges of firearms were observed last night. The capital exhibits at present its usual aspect, and it is to be hoped that this state of thints may be maintained, and that some degree of coetidence will revive. The Nlsdridmails of the 30th hare arrived. Private letters reeeked at Madrid announce a republican moverne.r.t at Vakncia, which is said to have been completely triumphant. I have not seen these letters, beit the people in the Puerta del Sol are convinced of the truth of this report. Similar intelligence is said to have been received from Zaragoza. These an nouncements are echoed through Madrid with enthu siasm which betokens some surer foundation than latnel in fact. _ I hare jai: heard that Olozaga and Oster/ Cancro have been arrested to-day. The Etv has, as I sus- Petted. heir. seized to-day alao. Olozaga was after letrds I:berattd. 30.-71oree per Cents.. 211: F‘ , o o^ , Cent.. ,•' * cat' 7, 1',4-41..rs ( c ite ; Couples, 10 Paper ; 14,4111 or St. 11'. cash, 112 Niter—Exchange on Inntlon, 41. We hove letters direct from Turin of the 31st, and from\lihnof the 30th. It ofipsars sufficiently clear that the condition of the .1 , -strum army under Radetski is disastrous. Indeed t may be said to be dissolving from day to day under the eyes of its commander, without striking a blow. la many instances squadrons and detachments found th 7se:` ee separated from the rest of the army by the 'laden irivution of the waters let loose by the pea andOus surrounded they were obliged to lay sous t h • manna to a few hundrefi rustics. newt with these difficulties Roiletski appears to hive wandered haat and forward without any fixed PurPs;e or pl an . Th u s foiled in his march on Breacia, he is reported to have turned towards Ba niola and Poatavico, which lie on the route to Mantua and to Cremona. At the same time another division of his army had taken the route to Loriato, on the Lego di Garda, between Brescia and Verona. From these and s.milar movements, it would seem as thoirth every effort were made to seek an issue from Lombardy, At Verona, like all the other great cities, the popu lation bad risen, and had rendered themselves masters of the place ever since the 22nd of March. The troops had withdrawn into the forts. The Viceroy, who had taken refuge there after the events of Milan, was blockaded in his palace by the people, who had heaped around it masses of faggots, threatening to burn him and his family in it if a single gun were discharged upon the town. Meanwhile, the fate of the Viceroy is uncertain. Some reports announce that he had been allowed to depart, and had gone to Austria by the Tyrol. More recent emulate, how ever, contradict this, and say that he was arrested with his family. A postscript in the Piedmontese Gazette of the 31st states the Austrian army had quitted Soucino and Orzinovi, and were marching towards Mantua. Advice' from Milan of the 30th, which I mentioned briefly yesterday, give it as official that the Piedmon tese General lies, at the head of 12,000 men, had at tacked a party of Austrians near Montechiaro, and completely routed them, taking prisoners a squadron of cavalry, three pieces of cannon, and a baggage train. The same letters say that the Austrian army had established itself near that place in order of battle, bat it is added that they were unprovided with sub sistence. The news which I sent you on Thursday last of the proclamation of a Republic at Venice has further con firmation in the present advices; but it is added, that upon representations being made to the Provisional Government at Venice of the sentiments entertained elsewhere, a declaration was made that no pretensions were meant to be advanced for the resumption of its ancient sovereignty; and that in proclaiming the Ve netian Republic a previsional measure only was adopted ; and that Venice would be ready to unite it self with the centre of nationality whenever the kingdom of Italy should be re-established. The news which I sent you in a postscript yester day of the conclusion of an alliance, offensive and de fensive, between all the Italian States against Austria, is fully confirmed to-day. Eleven thousand Tuscans, of which six thousand were troops of the line, and five thousand volun teers, were already in Lombardy. These troops, united with the Milanese and Piedmontese, bad already engaged in the struggle, and were considered to be a sufficient force to drive the Austrians over the Alps. Fivizziano was re-united to Tuscany as well as Massa and Carrara. The Grand Duke was saluted at the Pergola theatre, on the Pith, as King of Etruria. ...._ _.._. At I3agnolo, corps of Lombard and Swiss volunteers had beaten a body of Austrians, and had taken 7 to 800 prisoners. LATEST FROM PARIS. PARIS, WF:IINENDAY, S.l'.M. Notwithstanding the cessation of a ttroopeni . ents, and the comparative tranquillity and order produced by the recent proclamations of the government, the finan cial condition of the country becomes worse and worse. . . . . . Indeed, short of actual bankruptcy it is hard to say at what limit things are likely to stop. The Threes, which closed yesterday at 34, opened to-day at 331, and closed at 321. The Fives, which closed yesterday at 53, opened to-day at 52, and, after I ' falling to 50, closed at 50 1 ',. Bank shares become wor c and worse. They fell to-day to 1,050, closing at 1,080. Even the best and most promising of the railways have fallen to a ruinous point. The Orleans and the Rouen lines, which were at 1,204) and 1,300 francs, were done to-day, the former at 400, and the latter at 275. The continuance of this fall, like its commence ment, three or four da3 a ago, is independent of any particular cause in the foreign intelligence or domestic affairs. It is the result of the utter wreck of all con fidence, the want of money among all classes, and the reckless determination of the holders of every descrip tion of public security to get rid of them for anything they will fetch. We mentioned in the month of March the burning of the chateau of M. Rothschild, at Suresnes. Many persons supposed to have been concerned in this have been arrested ; but there was one who had been pointed out who succeeded in evading pursuit._ This person, feared by all the neighbourhood, was at length found in a wine•shop which he frequented, and was there arrested by the Paris police, sent expressly for that purpose. It seems the authorities of the neigh bourhood were aware of his haunts, but were afraid to arrest him, so much was he feared. Ile has been committed for trial. Hoornaef, a native of Bruges, one of the band of robbers who plundered the Tuileries, wea arrested yesterday, at Bruges. He had offered a diamond for sale to a jeweller, who, suspecting something, gave notice to the police; he was detained, and on searching his lodging, diamonds worth Ido,ooofr. were found. On this he was kept in custody. The election of officers of the national guard took place to-day. I learn that in the first arrondissement M. de Tracey, son-in-law of Lafayette, a moderate re publican, has succeeded against M. liastide, chief secretary of the Minister of Foreign Affairs. In the second arrondissement a contest is going on between Mews. Pelage and Clement Thomas, one of the editors of the Nil( ilthaL It is probable that M. Delage, a moderate re publican, who has had some experience in Africa, will succeed. In the 3rd arrondissement, M. Thirion, another moderate republican, will he successful. In the 10th Legion, it is said, that M. Hangray, one of the proprietors of the National, and a moderate republican, will be elected. It is reported that the celebrated Barbes will be elected to the 12th Legion, who has made a declara tion of moderate principles, notwithstanding his notorious antecedents. In general, so far as the elections are yet known, moderate men appear to prevail. The news which I sent you this morning of the reported publication of a republic in Savoy, arrived yesterday evening at five o'clock, by a telegraphic dispatch from the general commanding the military division of Lyons. The news had been sent to Lyons by the officer commanding the French post at the Bridge Beauvoisin, on the frontier. General Sahiard, the new Sardinian minister at Switzerland, arrived at Berne on the let. Pau*, APRIL s.—New Loan, ; Three per Cents., 321; 11 0 .

PIEDMONT.—Advices from Turin, of the 31st / March, say it is impossible to conceive the enthu siasm which the two proclamations of Charles Albert have caused here. All the soldiers comprising the gendarmes have joined the king and his two sons in Lombardy. There is not a single uniform to he seen in Turin. The national guard does the civic duty. Innumerable corps-francs and volunteers, of all ranks and ages, have arrived from Genoa, Bologna, and Tuscany. At Rome the Pere Gavazzi has preached the holy war, and declared that the crusade was opened. To Colonel Ferrari, who announced to the volunteers that the Pontifical government was not able to pay them more than ten sous a day, they replied " We only want bread, and we will go to save our brothers of Lombardy." PAnNut.—The Allot d, Florence, of the 29th March, says that, Some notables of Parma. devoted to the ancient gevern meat, h,ve induced the people to proclaim the duke, who hag spontaneoualy granted the most ample reforms. It is added that the Duke of Parma hag gent his minister Ward to the Pit dmontese government. to declare that he accedes to the league formed by the other Italian princes. TUSCANY.—The Grand Duke has ordered two mi litary camps to be formed ; one at Netts Santa, and the other at Pistoja. VzsicE.—The arsenal of Venice, which is in the power of the Provisional Government, contains 400 cannons and 6(10,000 muskets. The republic is arming the people. No one can travel in Venice without a special passport ; Don Carlos, having a false passport, , - Fits arrested, and was only liberated by making himself known. 6,000 deserters from the Austrian army have been arrested in the Venetian territory. SAVOIN—The report which I have already men- "'"I 613 5011 LONDON, THURSDAY, ♦PRIL 6, 1848. [THREEPENCE. nt tinned of the proclamation of a republic in Savo) gains consistency. It is said that the republic was proclaimed on Saturday, and that a Provisional Guverum.-at was appointed. The people of Savoy desire, it is said, to be annexed to France, and wait the decision of the French go vernment. In any case they adopt the republican form of government. SlClLY.—Advices from Italy say that 8,000 Sicilians were abuut to embark at Palermo, to attack Trieste. _ _ LoMBARDY.—It is estimated that the King of Sar dinia has already 50,000 men concentrated between the Serio and the Oglio. He has also a reserve of 50,000 ready to cross the frontier of Lombardy. There are also 30,000 Piedrnontese volunteers, making a total of 130,000 from Piedmont alone. 'to these ate to be added the contingents from the Roman and Tuscan states, from Parma, from Modena, and even from Naples. The total disposable force will probably not tall mach short of 250,000. I informed you in my letter this morning, of the entry of the King of Sardinia into Lodi. That fact has since appeared in the afternoon journals. His majesty arrived there on the 30th, and issued a pro clamation to his army, praising them for having per formed a forced march of 110 miles in 72 hours, and informing them that in a few hours more they would stand face to face with the enemy. In another pro clamation, dated the 31st, he recommends the inha bitants of Lombardy, Venice, Piacenza, and Reggio, to avoid the ancient divisions and discord that were formerly the bane of Italy. The Pieelmantese Gazette of the Ist inst. contains a decree of the Provisional Government of Milan, in vesting the Jews with full political and civil rights. The question of marriages will be regulated by a future law. Other decrees provide for the organieation of a regular army, the enrolment of volunteers, a diminution in the stamp duties. the abolition of the game-laws, etc. '1 he same paper contains the conventions in virtue of which the province of Udine and that of Padua are evacuated by the Austrians; most of the Italian troops have re fused to follow the imperial generals, and have frater nized with the people. By the above conventions all the arms, ammunition, and military materiel are given up to the people, as well as the public coffers; the Austrian troops will receive three months' pay, and evacuate the town and fortresses. A similar capitu lation has been signed at Itovigo. The news which I also announced to you this mornicg of the arrival of 10,000 Romans and 7,000 Tuscans on the banks of the Po is confirmed. These troops arrived by Bologna and Ferrara, and were to, cross the river at Ponta-Lago Scuro. Among the seven or eight hundred men whom I informed yon were captured by the Lombard and Swiss volunteers, , there were 70 Hulans and 50 officers, with military chests. Radetzky was, according to the latest intelligence, at Orzinovi and Soncino the Austrians are at a stand-still, near the banks of the Oglio. It appears they have given up the intention of throwing themselves into Mantua, from want of provisions in the fortress. The whole country, from the Po to the Alps of Tyrol, has risen in arms ; the enemy finds impedimenta of every nature. 'There is no doubt that, on the appear ance of a body of regular troops, the army of Radetzky will he obliged to capitulate. SWITZKRLA:gI).—We learn from Bale that the Vorort, by circular of the 28th March, had communi cated to the cantons that the government of Berne had resolved to prevent the formation of a German Legion, and recommended the other cantonal govern ments to do the same. The governments of Bile Ville and Bale Campagno have taken measures against any breach of their neutrality. A letter from the Splugen says that a band of persons, coming from Campoduli, has disarmed the Austrian custom-house officers on the Splugen ; and that the custom-house has been suppressed, so that all mer chandise passes freely. Another letter says, the hero of the Sonderbond, Count Joseph de Travers- Ortenstein, has been made prisoner at Carnet, and was suspected of Laing a 'Thapy. e arrest of the ex-general of the Sonderbond, Salle Soglio, is also mentioned to have taki n place. South of the Tyrol sympathisers will endeavour to penetrate by the lateral vallies to gain Etach, and cut off the communication on the principal route of Italy. They say openly that they will establish the Italian frontiers on the heights of Brenner. What will the Germanic Confederation say to this? Will it allow itself to be deprived of all the important mili tary points in the Alps' We, Tyrolians, will resist the dismemberment of our country with all our power. AUSTRIA.—The Unirermt Gazette of Vienna, of April 2nd, says It is time to consider the question of the chief of the Ger manic corporation. Some propositions have been made to elect him for life ; some as an hereditary prince. As regards the person on whom the choice should fall, almost every country in tier many has proposed its prince. Bavaria, Brunswick, Saxony, and even the king of Prussia has offered himself. This last hasbeen received with a universal cry of indignation. The giving the imperial hereditary dignity to the house of Austria is net favourably received. We propose a candidate amongst the German princes , we propose the Archduke John of Austria: the first who said, No Austria, no Prussia, but united Germany." A bold speech, which he expiated by a long banishment. It was the Archduke John wbo compelled Metternich to retire; it was he who told him "You must abdicate." It was he who, by driving out this man, has saved Germany from a civil war. Who does not know that he preferred a marriage of affec to the splendours of a court ; and that he belongs to the people by his feelings and propensities. Wbo does not know his science in agriculture, etc. Germany could not better re compense him and serve herself than by electing him as emperor. The Emperor of Russia has issued a manifesto, declaring that " anarchy, the offspring of France, having crossed the German frontier," and "attacked our allies the empire of Austria and the kingdom of Prussia, even threatening Russia," he is prepared to encounter enemies from whatever quarter they may present themselves, and knows how to de fend the honour of the Russian name, and the in violability of its territory. SUPPLY OF ARMS AT THE PUBLIC OFFlCEs.—Go vernment is taking every precaution, in cue there should be any manifestion 01 an outbreak among the working elms es who, it is stated, are to assemble on Monday next on Ken nington-common. A large supply of tire-arms and cutlnsses has been sent from the Tower to the East India-house, and :heir different warehouses, the Custom-house, Excise office, the Poe-office, Bank of England, the Mansion-house, the various departments at Somer-et.house, the Ordnance-office, Pull-mall, the Admiralty, and the different government offices at the West-end ; also to a great many of the bank ing-horses in the city, and the dock companies. The clerks and persons employed in these establishments will be ready to acs, if absolutely necessac), astralnst any outrage tnat may he committed by a mob. The swearing-in of special con stables is proceeding rapidly in Lambeth, Walworth, Cam berwell, the Borough. and the districts on the Surrey side of the water, where the tradespeople and householders all show their desire to protect the public peace, if callsd upon. THE CHELSEA PENSIONERS.—A divisional order was issued yesterday, dated April 4, 1645, announcing t o the IY , .,olwielt division, that the non-commissioned officers and men are to be in readiness to march to London earl y on Monday morning next. The clothing of the division will ihe issued on Friday and Saturday afternoons. This step has been considered advisable in consequence of the con ' templatsd meeting on Kennington-common on that day. SWEARING IN OF SPECIAL CONsTABLES.—At seve rs' police-offices and vestry-rooms in the metropolis a vast number of special constables were sworn in yesterday. Pet sons of almost every rank in life came forward in this manner to volunteer assistance in preserving public order, especially on Monday. during the chartist demonstration on Kennington-common, and the procession thence to the House of Commons. ATTORNEYS IN GOWNS.—Testerday, in the City Small Debts Court. no little surprise was evinced at some of the attorneys entering the court in black gowns, which, it is said, they are entitled to wear. One also wore the white bands similar to a barrister. The high-bailiff also wore a gown for the first time. No order, however, had been given fer that purpose. A N UMEROCS MEETING OF THE CHARTISTS OF Lectis was held on Tuesday in the Free-market, to petition for the liberation of Frost, Williams, and Jones, and all political prisoners. Before the business commenced a band of musicians was sent round the town preceded by a tri color Hag, inscribed, "Republic for France, Repeal for Ireland, the Charter for England, and no surrender." Mr. Barris, a collector of highway rates presided, and a petition was adopted.. During the proceedings it was stated that the members of the Leeds branch of the Irish Confederation had revived to support the chartists in their efforts to obtain heir political rights. AMERICA. The Fidelia, Captain Huckstaff, arrived at Liver pool last night, with dates from New York to the 16th nit. There is no news of moment. The following is from the New York Ikeald of the 16th Mt.: The absence of the steamer, now in her nineteenth day, has • depressing influence upon the stock market, and cannot expect much activity, or any material change in prices, until she arrives. Considerable anxiety is manila eel to learn the character of the commercial in tellir nee from the other side, as prices for our great ex porting staple depend upon it, and tke money markets of this country will be regulated for some time by it. In the event of another advance in cotton having been realised in Liverpool, or even if the advance last reported is sustained, there must be an improvement in finan , ciul affairs, generally, here, as exchange will drop be ' low current rates, and all apprehension relative to further shipments of specie diseppear. 'ibis will relieve the banks, and they will discount more liberally. It is the impression among cotton speculators that the Cambria will bring arc .unts of • alight reaction in the Liverpool market; that the sdvance was too great to be entertained in the absence of a corresponding improvement in the =ulnae turing districts.

REPRESENTATION OF RY E.—The writ was received on Saturday, and was forthwith proclaimed. Scarcely • rumour of opposition was is circulation, and nn doubt was entertained of Mr. Curteis's unopposed return. He is soniof the late member. The nomination was fixed for yesterday! SUSPECTED MURDER.—An inquest was held on Tuesday evening at the Windsor Castle Inn, near Bath, on the body of a young man named David Gale, found on the preceding Sunday morning in the river Avon, about.a mile from Bath. The deceased, it appears, was a farmer residing near Chippenham, Wilts, and left hishorne on Saturday the 11th of March, to attend the Bath market, but never after wards returned. Bills were distributed, offering a reward for any information concerning him, but none .119.1 given until after the body was found, when it sees ascertained that thardolledeed had been, in the course of the Saturday after noon, at a disreputable house, and as he was supposed to bare had a large sum of money upon hint, strong suspicions were excited that he had met hie death unfairly. The evi• dence at the inquest was almost solely confined to that of the woman whom he accompanied home, and the inmates of the house, who deposed that he was tipsy and left to go to the railway office. A post mortem examination was made, and the surgeon was of opinion that death resulted from drown ing. No signs of violence appearing on the body, the jury returned a verdict of " Found drowned, but by what means he rame into the water there is no evidence to show." . TIIE MEETINGS OF THE CHARTISTS and unem ployed continue in Manchester. On Tuesday night there were no leas than three open-air meetings in Manchester, and one in Salford. The principal meeting was in Stevenson square, and was for the purpose of petitioning for the return of Frost, Williams, and Jones. There were 6,000 or 7,000 pertoni present, and a petition was adopted. The speeches were less violent than on the previous night. COMMERCIAL 4 MARKETS. MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE. Two o' Clock .—The returns of the revenue are con sidered to show better than might have been antici pated from the unfavourable reports in circulation for some time put. For the quarter the ordinary receipts are nearly indeed upon a balance with those of the corresponding quarter of last year. The funds, however, have been in decline this morning, notwithstanding this more encouraging phase of the revenue returns. The approach of the threatened monster meeting of Chartists on Monday on Ken nington-common, is beginning to excite grave appre hensions for the preservation of the peace. Com plaints are made against the government for omitting to take measures for the prevention of a gathering like that announced from all parti of England. It is argued that, without interfering with the right of pe tition, the people should at all events be restricted to meetings in their own localities, as, if no other ob jects were in view among their leaders, would na turally be the case. In consequence of these apprehended disturbances, we have Consols down to 801 to -! for money and account, which is a fall of per cent. from the prices of yesterday. Reduced Threes are 78j to 9, ex-di vidend Three-and-a-Quarter per (,nts., 791 to 80, ex-div idend. Exchequer Bills, however. are again higher, at 40s. to 449. premium.

IiEwCASTLE, April 4.—The weather within the last three days has become extremely sultry, but to-day the tempera ture is cooler, the wind having veered to the north-west. Towards the conclusion of the week, upon all dry roils, our farmers will be occupied with seeding operations, and, during the time they are thus employed, we look: for the deliveries falling of most extensively, when we should hope a stop will be put to any further depression in the trade. At our market this morning we had a less supply of Wheat from the growers, and the condition being still moderate, sales could only be made by submitting to a decline of Is. to 2s. per qr. ; but south country and foreign qualities were not so pressingly offered so of late, and upon the whole a fair amount of business was done, at the full rates of Saturday, the market at the same time closing firmly. For Flour there was not much doing, households being taken sparingly, at 3a.. to 375. per sock, according to quality. Rye, Beans, and Peas, nominally unaltered.

A 900. qr. vessel has been taken for L ,radon et 31. 9d., and one of similar sire for Liverpool, at 4s. Holders in the interior seem unwilling to send down further supplies sit losiag prices ; and in Poland the markets are rising, which may also be followed by a suspen sion of shipments. The late important events affectiag our system of government, have not exercised any injurious influence on our city nor eur province; we have no agitation whatever, and order has not been in any way disurbed. Bills on London are as easy as ever of negotiation by good drawers.

Mr. S. CRAWFORD moved the second reading of this bill. Sir G. GREY, in consenting to the second re Idthg. re ;erred to himself the right of objecting afterwards to thrtsin of its provisions. - - • OUTGOING TENANTS (IRELAND) BILL. Mr. NAPI ER resumed the adjourned debate on the itecend reading of this bill. He contended that any legislation on the subject must be an invasion of existing rights either un the one side or the other. The utmost uncertainty prevailed as to what was tenant right; four hills on the subject were HOW before the house, no two of which agreed in their provi•itins; and the most contradictory deficitions of the term had bees given. This confusion of ideas was evident in the bill before the house, which was nothing less than a transfer to the em cupiers of the rights of proprietors. It confounded improve.. meat, a fair 'l.llliett fur compensation, with an actual right in the soil. IS was important that these two matters should be viewed distinctly. Compensation for improvement st as a difficult subject for legislation ; and it was highly desirable to avoid, in a time of discontent like the present, inepuing hopes which could never he realised. Legislation on this subject had often been attempted, but with little succes., ow ing to the complication of the machinery proposed. The present bill, he wee convinced, would convert the whole of Ireland into a field of litigation. (Hear.) Cases might arise where compensation ought to be given for speciel im provements; but if the proprietor objected to these improve ments, they ought not to be forced upon him against his will. Hence, all really useful improvemeres should be ha.ed. on mutual agreement between landlord and tenant. To a certain extent, legi s lation on this subject might be really useful, by empowering holders for a term to consent to im provement by tenants. To leave a tenant at liberty to l'oNcr a form with budding., would be to encourage the sulelis i non of land and the continuance of the population on the soil—two of the great evils of Ireland. (Hear, hear.) Compensation for drainage R 23 already provided for, and large soma had been advanced for the purpose under the late act. The greatest difficulties would arise from an attempt to enforce the provisions of the bill before the house ; it would give rise to arbitration upon arbitration, and appeals without end. The bill most improperly assumed that all landlords were oppressors and all tenants virtuous ; and in the provisions for arbitrations and appeals the existence of middlemen had been overlooked. It remained to be seen whether that grinding, unhappy system could not be put down, by some wise alteration in the poor laws, and by a law which should do ample justice between the landlord and occupier. The hon. member for Rochdale had only lien able to cite one case of hardehip, in the county of Armagh, from the absence of tenant.nght, in which the Duke of Manchester was charged with ejecting a tenant because he wee a Roman catholic, and war about to build a chapel on his land. lie regretted that suck a statement had been made, and was prepared to contradict every word of it. (Hear.) The tenant held under a lease for lives, renewable for ever; the property was close to his grace's demesne, who wanted posseesion of it. It was not until after the tenant had given up posse pion that the priest had incited him to set up a claim for tenant-right, which had been beard and decided against in the courts of law. This was the only case which the hon. gentleman had been able to cite in support of the provisions of his bill. (Hear, hear.) The great in ;wince of the bill was, that while it obliged the land 'wed, it left the tenant at liberty. An occupier might exhaust his land, or sub let it, and then put an end to his tenancy by a six months' notice ; and the landlord was left without remedy. This would be not only a gross injustice to the landlords of Ireland, but a permanent injury to the nation at large. (Ilene.) As yet, he had heard no measure proposed which apps ee .t to be practically useful ; the un wieldy machinery of arbitrations and appeals would destroy the kind feeling between lai dlord and tenant, and inflict a deadly wound on the community. But, he contended, the real abject of the bill was to create fixity of tenure. While a tenancy existed there was no need of legislation ; for the tenancy was a valuable interest which - the occupier might at any time dispose of. There was no such legislation in Eng land, nor was it needed. When the tenant came to he Ills pnoset,red the value of his right must depend in great measure on his character as a tenant; it would ale., be modified by the character of the neighbourhood; thus proving to the people of Ireland that tneir rights depended on their moral conduct. (Hear, hour.) Was tenancy from year to year to be abolished' That was the question. This bill would destroy it on one side; :end the effect would be, particularly in a country like Ireland, where there was such competition, to impoverish the land, by depriving the in-coming tenant of the capital which he would otherwise have to expend in improving it. In a moral neighbourhood, the best of all tenures was a tenancy from year to year. What he complained of was, that there had been too much legislation far Ireland. While in Eng land there were bat six statutes since the union relatine to landlords and tenants, there were sixty-one in Ireland. If they wanted to do anything for the benefit of the tenant, of Ireland, they sh. , uld the care in the first imtence to ab,...in from doing anything which would encourage litigation. What was wanted in Ireland was a code consolidating the existing laws, by which tenants and landlords would know what they were about. 'The tenant-right of Ulster was not the cause of its prosperity, hut the test of its peace. He attributed the superiori , y of Ulster to the morals of the people; end h" did not think it wo old be possible to transfer that right to Tip perary, where a different state of society prevailed. They might, indeed, by legislation turn Ulster into a Tipperary. In the one place there was &combination of good men in favour of law and order, in the other there was a combination of had men against law and order. At the late special commission the crimes for which so many had suffered were not eon . fleeted with the question of land tenure. He thought that the legislation proposed by the bill would be not only useless but mischievous. lie wee afraid it would lead away men's minds to visionary anticipations. It was the misfortune of Ireland that the people of that country were taught to leek at everything proceeding from linen-6 legislation with jealousy and hatred. Continuous attempts were made to sow dissensions between landlords and tenants. Till that system was put an end to there could be no hope for the progressive improvement of the soil either morel!]] or natured,. In order to permeate and energise the sod below, the) must first of all clear away the weeds that en cumbered the surface. He hoped the house would not par a bill which would spoliate the landlords, under the pretence of benefiting the tenanuy, and which was therefore founded on injustice. (Hear, hear.) Mr. J. O'CONNELL said that the hon. and learned gentleman had with the usual dexterity of an adsocate en deavoured to make the worse appear the better reason, by distracting the attention of the house from the polio at issue at the sacrifice of truth acd justice itself. - The honourable and learned gentleman deprecated bitterness, but his speech was full of bitterness. He arrogated a superior moral tone for the people of Ulster above the rest of Ireland. He repudiated any such pretension. Did not the right hon. baronet the Home Secretary know, that there were bands of orangemen allowed to wander about that province, who were not to be found in any other part of Ireland. He was afraid that the honourable and learned gentleman, who professed to . despise an ignominious popularity, was himself pandering to the pewee and prejudices of the landlords. The hon. and learned gentleman said that the crimes which it was the ob ject of the special commission to try and punish were Lot connected with the tenure of land. He (Mr. O'Connell) maintain, d that every one of these. with the exceptien of cases of abduction, could be traced to the insecurity of tenure. The relation of landlord and tenant in Ireland was a mere robbery of the latter fur the supposed benefit of the former. The definition which he gave of tenant-right was founded on the report of the Devon commission, and it 11,.. meant the tenant's right to sell his occupancy.
