RAILWAY BILLS. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER rose to move the adoption of the resolutions agreed to by the select committee on railway bills. Sir H. HALFORD roes to order. He submitted that these resolutions could hardly be looked upon as private business. The SPEAKER said that private business comprehended everything connected with einvate bills. Railway bills were, strxtly speaking, private bills. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER resumed his observations, which were rather indistinctly heard in the gallery. lie said he would not on that occasion have inter fered with the course of businens, but that it was desirable that promoters of railway bills should as soon as possible know what were the intentions of parliament with respect to these projects. A fortnight since the boo. member for Moaner had brought forward a motion on the subject, and since then government had thought it desirable that a select committee should be appointed. That committee had been appointed, had met, and had agreed to certain resolutions, which were laid on the table on Monday evening last. The elect of his present motion was, dist the house should adopt ties resolutions. In the debate on the moths of the hon. member for Montrose, nobody had and a single word against the construction of railways; but he thought there wee a general impression that within the last year os two projects had been sanctioned at too rapid a rate, and that consequently considerable inconvenience had been (sated to the commercial interests of the country by the abstraction of so much floating capital. Besides, it was alleged that several things had been done in contravention of the standing orders, and that, therefore, the House of Cos- I moos was called upon at least to inquire into the matter. The course suggested was, that ell railway bills should be sa ewe suspended ; but the committee had decided unani mously against that course. They . felt that there were sere- 1 ral email lines of intercommunication which it was necessary should be completed ; and it was represented that the great compasses had nearly completed several small lines, and that any sudden check might have the effect of throwing ggreeaat nembes of persons out of employment, • thing especi all y to be deprecated with the present prices of romans. fleissition was then suggested, but inasmuch as it was neeessary to come to an early decision the committee felt that it would be utterly impossible to enter into the lengthened investigations which must form the necessary preliminary to such seleerion. The committee had, there fore, determined against compulsory suspension and 'elec tion, but they recommended that a power should be given to companies of suspending their own promedings, and carrying forward the progress they had made in com mittee to a future seMon. It was expected, that under these resolutions there would be a sufficient number of voluntary suspensions to answer the plie in view. The committee were told that several compe.nM, which were carrying on the war with groat vigour, were not anxious to construct the railways for which they "so to parliament, but merely wished to pre-occupy certain lines of country. They, it was represented, would willingly rest on their oars for a year or two ; and thee the purpose of the committee would be answered, without any compulsory resolution. The committee, therefore, gave the option, under certain con ditions, which would be found stated at length in the first resolution. The second resolution provided that in cases of suspended bills the deposits should be returned to the depo sitors, but that such deposits should be again paid in, preli mina,- to any steps taken in a future session. This resolu tion left the parties is no worse position than they would be in before a select committee. The third resolution, pro hibiting the payment of any interest or dividend, in respect of galls (except the interest by way of discount= sub sesoptMus prepaid, agreeably to 8 Viet., c. 16, s 24,) oat Otte espial, mmely brought back the practice of the hem le what it was when railways were brought _forward as dendliiis of before the speculative eassdalied got hold, see eely of the country, but he was afraid of essmlliess of that been, inducing them to par bills coot elming welder ef a wry doubtful character. The next reseinis greeided Ike the paying up of three-fourths of the rumba enplieL The filth resolution applied tea case which at his. Merl of hie brought forward st an early period of the easka. sal wilds it was considered a glaring evasion of the steadies maws. It was the cue of an eastern line, in which the esimpamy having completed only a small portion of the line made • declaration of surplus profits, and used the deposits for the eestanction of another line. They thus entered into new equal to ten times the amount of their paid-up capitol. This he held to be a fraud and evasion of the rides of thee heap . But what was every one's business was no one's business, and, consequently, the matter passed without observation. The only way to prevent this was by making the resolution he held in his hand a standing order, when the committees suet attend to it. The cemuninit resolutions applied to the powers taken of leasing, purchasing, or amalgamating rail ways. Many applications had been made to parliament for the sanction of embryo lines, projected merely for the pur pme of sale to one or other of the great companies. He be lieved that nothing had tended to force on rail'vay specu lation so much as this minim, (Hear, hear.) The mode was this,—eaall companies, or independent r, got up a line, knowing that a peat tom was annous for the line of country, they them selves not having the slightest notion of eonstrwesing the line, but hoping to realise a handsome profit by the 'compe tition of the great companies. Another point w the rm► lutions would provide against was the practice of scats ems panics, whose es hu were not yet constructed, of gran dma arge interest to other companies whose lines they less& The resolutions provided that no company should have the power of granting interest to another company, until it had been a entetantial working establiihmetit realising profitsofits own. The course he intended to pursue was tomove the molu- Hos, eeriatim, end if the house should agree to them, they would be binding so far as the present session was concerned ; then he proposed to rifer them to the committee on standing orders, who would consider whether or not they should be made binding as regulations for the conduct of railway bills in future melons. He would now propose the first resolu tion for enabling the parties to railway bills to suspend [im peding, during the present semis, subject to regulations similar to those which had been adopted in 1846. The resolution having been nut, Sir M. HALFORD contended that the government, by passing these resolutions, were interfering with the arrange. meet by which Wednesdays had been set apart for business under the conduct of private members. Though the Speaker had decided that these resolutions came under the order of private business, the Chancellor of the Exchequer had ad mitted they were of public importance, and as such, they should be brought forward as public business on • govern ment night. It the house entered upon the discussion of these resolutions, the whole afternoon would be taken up with it, and the business which stood first on the paper— the adjourned debate on the Hosiery Bill, in the decision upon which thousands of the starving operatives were in terested—would be indefinitely postponed. Under these circumstances, he would move that the debate be now ad journed. (Hear. hear.) Mr. SPOONER seconded this amendment : which was supported by Mr. Newdegate, Mr. Endorse, Mr. S. Craw ford Sir J. Easthope, Mr. Basket, Mr. Cripps, Mr. R. Buller, Mr. T. Dunoombe. and the Marquis of Granby ; sad opposed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Est oourt, Mr. Hume, Sir G. Grey, Col. Sibthorp, and Mr. R. Yorke. The discussion was terminated without a divides by an arrangement proposed by the Chancellor of the Ex chequer, that the railway resolutions should be taken at 12 o'clock to-morrow (this day) ; and the debate was adjourned aeooedi BA 8H INTERVENTION IN PORTUGAL. On the question that the order of the day be now read, Mr. B. OSBORNE wished to refer for a moment to a question of considerable importance. The home wee aware that the hon. member for Montrose was to have brought leeward his motion on the affairs of Portugal on Monday het, and that after various promises be finally, on the inter ments of the noble lord, consented to postpone it till Thurs day; bat it upeared that his bon. friend was composed of LOOM squeezable materials than he (Mr. Osborne) had given him credit for, and that he had since further postponed his emotion till Friday, aid even upon that day, from what occurred last night, he saw no security whatever of its coming on. He wished to know from his bon. friend when he would positively t ring his motion forward for discussion— for it was most important that the question should be dis armed, sad the opinion of the House of Constar prsouneni upon it before the sailing of the next packet to Oporto. He was are his bon. friend little knew of the many anxious bomb in Portugal that were waiting for the result of the dis =nee how much the ems of constitutional liberty was by these delays, or he would never have consented to theme. (Hear, hear.) He was eurprised to bear that some bee. gentlemen had last night called for • further de lay till Mandy next, on the ground that there was to be a Queen's ball on Friday. This he supposed was on the prime* el— . lettlebss mgr bang, that tureen may dine. In le he mitt 'no oed to parody n— ary die, that senators may dance.

Mr. HORSIIAN conterded that there had been unneces sary delay in producing the pipers The protocol was signed on the 21st of May : all the negotiations were then termi nated, the decision of the government was taken, the treaty was =occluded, and orders to act Lamed ; and he could net bet believe that government were then in a condition to pro duce the documents. Considering that the course they had taken was most exceptional, he thought they ought to have shows as such anxiety to give, 'as the house to demand, b usdapating the wish of the house on the He bowl *know if the noble lord had any a hmk to ars media of which he (Mr. Harman) had setae, Mr espies of any communications between the ithentnost and that of Portugal, in 1822, with ==Man=e to the cane le be pursued by Great Britain in the went at the Portuguee territory being invaded by any feeelpo pewee ?

INGLIS observed that as both parties were pledged to bring the subject forward on Friday, no further discus sion ought to take place--whereupon the matter dropped. HOSIERY MANUFACTURE BILL. On the order of the day for resuming the adjourned de bate on the second reading of this bill, Mr. GIBSON rose to oppose it. The hon. baronet (Sir I H. Helloed), when moving the second reading, said it was his wish to have the bill sent before a select committee, that other members might share the responsibility of it. He (Mr. Gibson) objected to such a course, because it would commit him to the principle of the bill, to which he was altogether opposed, that principle being to raise and regulate the wages of labour, and even to confiscate property (ma chinery) by act of parliament. The bill made it illegal to let for hire or to receive rent for the use of frames employed in the manufacture of hosiery. Thus the bill would prove a great evil to the working claims, by com pelling those who worked at home at this species of ma chinery, and bad not sufficient capital to buy frames for thameolvee, to go to the manufactory ; and by rendering the .cheery its.lf comparatively valueless to those who had weld their small capital in it, and from which they derived their income. The principle was quite a novel one. As well might that house, by legislation, interfere with the letting . of land or other property. He knew no more legiti mate investment of capital than machinery, and if they interfered with it in this case, they would be justified in preventing a man who vested his capital in a steam engine, from allowing it to be used for hire. A greater injustice to the working classes was never, he thought, attempted , in that house. The hon. member for Finsbury (Mr. Buncombe), who was in favour of the bill, nevertheless , objected to this, one of its most important provisions. Tne object of it, as he understood, was, to effect a saving in I the hire of the machinery, and thereby increase the wages of the labourer. But even admitting that a saving would be I the effect—which, however, he denied—he had heard no or. I gamma to show that that saving would find its way into the I pocket of the labourer. The labourer, on the contrary, being the weakest party, was the less likely to gain it. Then the I bill also prohibited the labourer from employing his own I child. (A mark of diment) Why it said that ao one but a master manufacturer should be permitted to employ work- I men. The master workman, therefore, mold not employ his own child, nor a journeyman workman in his own cottage, nor give out work to him. Each of those individuals, even I though they should be members of the same family, must, i according to the bill, have a particular contract with the i master manufacturer. (Hear, hoer.) The hon. baronet I (Sir H. Belford) had argued that if there was no middleman between the manufacturer and the work man, the expire of the middleman would thereby be I saved, but he ha ow *mu the., if seeing there were, that the w deems would be the parties benefited. He (Mr. Gibson) hilrwg. on the =we=ary, that the middleman was a source of esseeny instead of expense, and that no saving would remit hem his bas; abolished. The perilous who would have to ige about making the contracts with the I workmen should be paid. (Sir H. Halford.—The carnet may do it.) But be at be paid. lathe.) As well naight that house insist apss the warm Other asking a direst ma . I tract with him, instead of with the pas, heindiately on. j ployed by him. In fact, if the hem bemenses pried* wee i acted upon generally, it would ethit the whale lather of the i country, including that of agrimillemis mad railer= I therefore objected to this attempt to abolish the m iddlemen ( as well as the rents of frames, and seem nothing in Mr. 1 Muggeridge's report to justify such a mtheure he should vote j against the second reading. Mr. PACKE expressed his 111103ehimmit at the speech of the right hon. gentleman, who, he add, MA dealt with the measure el if it were merely a visioansy ahem of deo ben. : baronet's for the protection of private property, bona et being what he (Mr. Packs) maintained it was, a bill allied for and justified by Mr. Muggeridge's report. Mr. FORSTER shortly opposed the MIL Sir J. EAST HOPE said that, in voting for the motion of the hen. member for Leicestershire, he did not bind Waal( to many of the provisions of the bill. The report of the commissioner stated that regulation was necessary for the benefit of the artisan or the trade. With this evidence be. fore him, be was not prepared to say he would not go into the inquiry. In a manufacturing country like this it was impossible to say that no regulation or interference was to be made with trade. He, however, believed the bill before the house was a crude piece of legislation. From every quarter he beard the sufferings of these persons were such as could not be described, and they came to par liament to see if they could do anything for them. He should cordially vote fee the inquiry. After a few words from Col. RotLeterene, in support of the motion, Sir J. C. HOBHOUSE said, where he differed from gen tlemen opposite was that he thought that going into com mittee would hold out hopes that this bail or some thing like it would make a change in the condition of these unfortunate persons who had embarked their industry in this trade. This was the first time he ever heard it said, that because a bill was so very bad a one, they should send it up stairs to be amended, for it had been so characterised by several hon. members who supported the motion. He wished to know what object could be gained by going into this committee. Many gran ago, when he interposed for the factory children, he for three sessions took pains to get the opinions of the masters and artisans, and it was only by the mutual consent of both those parties the bill was carried. Did the master manufacturers among the hosiers consent to this bill, or think it possible, with out their complete ruin, it could be made law ? His constituents were opposed to this bill because they did not think the abolition of middlemen, and other provisions of the bill, would be of advantage to the workmen. In one 1= I near Nottingham , there were 1,700 independent , and, if this bill passed, they would not be worth the wood they were made of; and the same might be said of 10,000 out of the 40,000 frames in the midland counties. The bill would destroy the middlemen, sad co no good to the workmen. If the system of letting out frames was ;Abo lished, how could the manufacturers indemnify themselves for the increased expense, but by the reduction of wages ? The report of Mr, Muggeridgr had been quoted in favour of the bill, bat he shouldlike this measure to depend on the opinion of that gentleman. If he thought this committee would do any good to these poor people, be would agree to it, but as he thought it would only raise 41st hopes, he should it. Mt. '7VINCOMBE said the object of the bill was a geed one. He denied that it was merely to raise wages ; It was only to protect the earnings of an industrious class, of which they were robbed by the evasions of the law. As to the principle of not interfering, partiament had done that @heady is this very trade.

After a few words in explanation from Sir J. Eteruorn, Mr. BANKES supported the second reading of the bill. on the ground that it was the duty of the house to inquire into the wentaand sufferings of the labouring clams, with a view to their relief. He did not take upon himself to say that the inquiry might be sneconfol in that respect, but still be was of sputum that it ought to be made. This was not the first time the house bad been asked, end had actually de ' viated from the principles of political economy, and he called upon the right hon. but. the member for Nottingham (Sir J. C. Hobbouse) to follow his former exertions on behalf of the factory children, of which, to-day, he had justly boasted, by giving his sanction to the inquiry bought for into the provisions of the bill. Mr. BROTHERTON said he had read this bill with an anxious desire to give it his support, hut he confessed that it involved several principles which the house ought not to sanction. (Hear, hear.) It would be much meter to frame a new measure than to attempt to improve the bill in com mittee. He objected to the bill, because he ems of opinion that if passed into law it would operate injuriously to the working classes themselves, and as he believed it would be calculated to delude the people end raise in them hopes which ould be realised, to send the bill to a sel. ct committee upstairs, he felt reluctantly compelled to vote against the second reading. (Hear, hear.) - • • • ••• • • • • - - Mr. FERRAND supported the bill, and inquired of what use was parliament if it was not able to redress the grievances of which the people complained Tne measure was opposed by the right hon. baronet opposite (Sir J. C. Hobhouse), because he knew by his opposition he was grati fying the feelings of the master manufacturers of the town he represented, who dreaded inquiry, because it would ex pose a system of cruelty and tyranny which would be a dis grace to them. He (Mr. Ferrand) should cordially support the bill, with a view to further inquiry before a select committee. Mr. M. PHILIPS said that, with the experience of the result of the labours of the hand-loom waivers' committee (on which he had served) in his recollection, he could not hope for any beneficial effects being produ ced by tbe re ference of this bill to a select committee. The regulation of the wages of labour was beyond legislative reach ; and, therefore, he could not give his sanction to the enactment, of this bill. Sir It. HALFORD briefly replied. The house divided—For the second reading 67 Against it The bill was consequently lost. SEDUCTION AND PROSTITUTION SUPPRESSION Mr. SPOONER moved the second reading of this bill. Mr. C. BERKELEY moved, as an amendment, that the bill be read a second time this day six months. Strangers were ordered to withdraw. On our re-admission to the gallery (no division having taken place), Mr. ROEBUCK was speaking in opposition to the bill. He contended that the law as at present existing sufficiently provided for the punishment of the offences against which this bill was directed. Mr. SPOONER denied thi., and cited cues in proof of the insufficiency of the law. He expressed his readiness to refer the bill to a select committee. Mr. ROEBUCK said, on this understanding, he should not oppose the second reading of the bill. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE complained that the bill would allow the really guilty parties, the wealthy, to go scot-free. Mr. P. BORTIIWICK said be should support the second reading, with a view to the bill going before a select committee. After a few words from Colonel BIBTFIORP, Mr. HUME contended that the disclosures to be made before a select committee would do more to contaminate the public than the bill would do good. He would have the bill !assimilated to the law against gaming•houses, which punished every one found in those places. Such a bill should have his strenuous support; but he should oppose the present bill in every stage. Sir G. GREY supported the reference of the bill to a select committee—not for the purpose of receiving evidence, but to consider as to the best method of framing the clauses. After some conversation as to the objects of the committee, the bill was read a second time. VENTILATION OF MINES. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE moved for, and obtained leave to bring in, a bill to provide for the better ventilation of mines and collieries, for the protection and preservation of toe lives of persons employed in sod about the same, and to make other provisions relating thereto, PORT NATAL Mr. PARKER obtained leave to bring is a bill to declare legal the collection of certain duties at Port Natal.

IN the House of Commons yesterday the CHANCEL LOR of the EXCHEQUER, in an explanatory speech, stated the purport of the resolutions at which the committee on railway bills had arrived, the debate on the same standing adjourned until this day at twelve o'clock. The papers in reference to the affairs of Portugal were again the subject of discussion, Lord JOHN RUSSELL intimating that they would be delivered in the course of the day.—Mr. Hume was determined to bring the subject to which the papers referred under the notice of the house, if he received its support, on Friday next.—The Hosiery Manufacture Bill, the adjourned debate on the second reading of which was resumed this day, was rejected by a majority of 20, the num bers being 77 to 57. The Seduction and Prostitution Suppression Bill was read a second time. — Mr. T. DUNCOMBE obtaMed leave to bring in a bill for the better ventilation of mines, and for the protection and preservation of the lives of persons employed in and about the same. IT is pretty certain that the House of Commons will this day adopt the resolutions recommended by the select committee on railways. These resolutions will put it in the option of railway projectors to com ply with the wish, so unequivocally expressed in all the great marts throughout the kingdom, and suspend the progress of their bills for the session. And from the part taken in the committee by the three railway potentates who were upon it, there is good reasin to hope that the railway world are alive to the expedi ency of complying with this wish. The resolutions which go to make arrangements for the suspension of the railway business of the ses sion were passed in committee sub alb.nlio ; from which it may be inferred that Messrs. HUDSON, CHAP LIN, and RUsSELL are agreed as to the propriety of such a step. The remaining resolutions are only in tended, as the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER told the house yesterday, to be binding for the present session—they will be referred to the committee of standing orders to consider whether they ought to be made permanent. As Mr. HUDSON voted for all the resolutions in committee, it is obvious that the honourable member for Sunderland not only approves of their principle, but of its immediate ap plication in practice. Mr. RUSSELL met each resolution in succession with a sturdyno ; but in too far as we can judge by the proceedings in the committee, this no was not meant to negative the principle, but merely to postpone its application till future sessions. Mr. Charms concurred in Mr. RUSSELL'S opposition to the immediate enforcement of two of the resolutions, but gave his assent to all the rest, without reservation. Under these circumstances, the course that the railway business of the session will take seems obvi ous esough. All extensive or entirely new schemes will be suspended; some small lines of intercom munication, deviations or amendments of lines already in operation, or in the process of construction, will be pieeed ; and the short lines and extensions which are to be allowed to pass this session will be sub jected to temporary regulations, which it is intended next session to make permanent and applicable to all railways. These regulations contemplate two objects. The first is, to check evasions of the standing orders established with a view to as certain that the applicants for railway bills have given a guarantee for the bona fides of their projects by raising a certain amount of capital. The second is to put a stop to the proceedings of a class of specula tors who obtain powers to construct railways they never dream of making, in order to compel the great companies to pay them for leave to use their powers. I Nothing has contributed more to precipitate unduly the extension of railway construction than specula tions of this kind. We believe that the adoption of these resolutions, and the speedy acting upon them of railway promoters, will go far to impart a healthier and more steady tone to the money market. The passing of the resolutions will have, however, another aspect. It will be the first note of repara tion for winding up the business of the session. It will present the present parliament in the attitude of coverirg its face, like another C.aSAR, to fall with due decorum at the base of the pedestal on which its suc cessor is to be placed. It will be a signal for com nencin,g purvaaning operations in good earnest. IN so far u the British provinces in North America are concerned, nearly all that can be done this year to relieve Ireland by emigration has been done. The emigrant who would reap a crop in these colo tiles during his first year must be on the ground by the let of June. AU who arrive later must be able to support themselves, or must besupported by others till another crop can be garnered in—that is for some fifteen months. Nothing can be gained now by sending out any considerable number of emigrants I till next spring. A year has been lost. The best way of repenting for this waste of irre- , covetable time is to guard against its repetition. I Measures may be adopted immediately for com mencing a system of emigration to our North American colonies at the earliest opening of next season. Nay, pioneer operations may be commenced in the colonies during the fall of the present. We are not disposed to be virtuously indignant at the hesitation and un preparedness which has allowed a year to slip through our fingers. The want of practical and practicable views which characterises every project brought for ward since emigration has been talked of as one of the means for improving the social condition of Ire land affords strong presumption that by adopting none of them ministers have escaped being instru mental in causing much misery. The first preliminary for future operations is to determine what class of persons are to be encouraged or assisted to emigrate—for on this head it ift the greatest errors prevail. Even among the Irish gentlemen who are the most zealous promoters of some emigration scheme or other we hear frequent complaints that the small capitalists are emigrating. These gentlemen would have none emigrate who possess any capital to guarantee their ability to pay rent, or who have the ability to make themselves more useful than the average of labourers. Now it is only these classes who can emigrate with any pro. spect of success. Sir W. M. G. COLEBROOKE, governor of New Brunswick, remarks with great justice : " While the small farmer who emigrates rarely fails to succeed as a settler, the labourer or the operative encounters difficul ties which he finds himself unable to subdue, and which is precisely the consequence of his engaging, without preparation or training, in the moat arduous of all enter prises, in which habits of self-dependence, powers al endurance, and practical acquaintance with the as adapted to his situation, are indispensable. Even with these it is necessary that he should pulses the means of supporting himself during the struggle inseparable from a life in the wilderness." The mere labourer, who has been all his life accustomed to do no more than perform a prescribed task and receive his wages, is quite as unsuited to make an emigrant of as the book-worm who dreams of be coming a ROBINSON CRUSOE. The best emi grants are those who have been in the habit of combining head work with hand work ; who aro robust and active, but withal shifty and inven tive. Of these ought the bulk of every associated body of emigrants to be composed. A considerable number of this class, witk a few wealthier (not large) capitalists among them, are the best nucleus fur a new settlement. A limited number of mere labourers may be taken out along with them, and romed•MAIRMMYSINWIMMWSMiftftI4NOMMOPOSVOPOINO WEST INDIAN PRODUCE.—A Teasel named the Charles Grey, arrived in the St. Katherine's Docks from Bermuda, has brought a cams possessing a considerable de gree of novelty and interest at the present time, including 251 packages of arrowroot, 8 barrels of yaw, 10 hogsheads of hams, 772 casks of lard, 82 barrels of beef, and 100 uvels of potatoes, the produce of that Wand.

And there are limits to any drain of talent and capital that emigra tion can occasion. A higher class of inventive talent can be employed with advantage in an old country than a new, and higher rewards are offered for its exertion. The old country will always be able to command the services of the very beet of the class who have nothing bat their heads or hands to depend upon. Again, few who really possess inde pendent fortunes—who can afford to live comfortably in the old country without excessive toil—are disposed to try the bush. The capital carried out by emigrants may be considerable in its aggregate amount, but each individual will carry out a very small sum with him—the emigrating . capitalist is he who possesses a sum to begin life with, which might have given a man a chance in the days of our great-grandfathers, but which is unavailing now against the competition of mammoth capitals. They who understand aright the exact nature of the advantages offered by emigration ' will see, not only without alarm, but with pleasure, the small capi talists of Ireland, and the most ingenious and energetic other youth, transferring themselves to the other aide of the Atlantic. Every six farmers who emigrate will leave land enough to make a farm of proper size, and which a man who has the skill and means to cultivate it well, may take without danger of being shot. And when this can be done, it will be found that there are plenty left in Ireland with money invested in the strangest ways, who will be glad to turn it to account as farmers. The meson by , which the tree emigrant class are to be induced and assisted to try their fortunes in the colonies will afford matter for another article.

He has postponed his explanations is t week. A CASE occurred a few days age in the Court of Queen's Bench which indicates somewhat strikingly the anomalies of the game laws. The questions dis cussed in the court turned on technicalities of pleading, with which the reader will not care to be troubled. But the substance was this: the plaintiff, a gentleman named THOMAS, had let to the defendant, Mr. FRE tDhEeRnI,C,K, "together a mansion h -house free in tanhedcoeuxnetlyusoivfeCriaegrm of ar ht sporting on the plaintiff's manor." The agreement contained a stipulation that the defendant should com pensate the plaintiff for any damage which might be done by the game to the land in the occupation of the plaintiff's tenants, and that the amount of compensa tion should be assessed by two arbitrators respectively appointed by the game letter and the game hirer. Of course damage was done to the tenants by the game, for no amount of game worth paying a rent for can be kept upon cultivated laud without serious injury to the growing crops ; but the defendant declined to appoint an arbitrator to estimate that damage, or to make any compensation. At the trial the plain tiff recovered damages, and the defendant now tried to get rid of the adverse verdict on sundry niceties of special pleading. Damages had been found by the jury for damage done by rabbits and game ; but as rabbits are not legally game, and the agreement having specified game only, on that ground a new trial must be had if insisted on by the defendant. Now just contemplate the state of things indicated by this case the lord of a manor and au estate has reserved to himself the exclusive right to the game and the rabbits, his tenants dare not touch a head of these wild creatures which are fattening on their crops from seed-time until harvest, and then, from caprice or necessity, the landlord lets his mansion house and lets with it his exclusive right of sporting over his tenants' lands. In the lands of the owner of the estate there might be some limit to game preser vation, inasmuch as a " large head of game" is very apt to cause rents to run in arrear. If the land lord's game devour the produce of the land —and, in so devouring it, destroys not merely the profit, or surplus produce of the tenants, but their actual capital—the land must year by year decrease in fertility, and the tenants, less and less able to meet succeeding rent-days, must ulti mately quit their farms or be ruined. This forms a practical, though very Incomplete, check upon game preservation by landowners on their own estates. But with a game hirer there is no such check. A gentleman who hires a mansion and a manor is sure to he an ardent game preserver, for shooting is usually the great business of his life. lie has no bowels of compassion for the tenants; be has rented from their landlord the legal right to stock their farms with wild animals to the full extent to which the produce of the land will support animal life ; he has no fear about the consequential non-payment of farm rents, for that is no concern of his ; he has his bond, his agreement for the "free and exclusive right of sporting" over the estate; the law is such, and so will it be awarded by the judge. Why should he not keep up ais head of game ?" That was why lie rented the 'squire's mansion, and gave him perhaps a rent of double its value. We remember an instance in which a country mansion, when let with the manor, produced a rental of 4001. per annum, but could on ly be let for 301. without the right of sporting ; and such cases are not uncommon. Now, if the landlord has let his farms to his tenants at their fall value, can anything be more unfair than that he should pocket an artificial rental for his man sion really derived from the game which devastates his tenanta' crops ? Farmers have hitherto submitted to have the game reserved by their landlords more from habit than anything else, and there is now a strong and growing feeling amongst the tenantry against game preserva tion ; but no farmer has ever supposed, even when taking a farm belonging to a game preserver, that any serious amount of the farm produce is to be con sumed by game. On the contrary, he is always assured by landlord and land agent that he shall not be injured by game—that no great stock of game is intended to be kept, except in the woods and park— and that the landlord always takes care by feeding his game, to prevent injury to his tenants. If 611 farmer has not the caution to insti tute strict inquiries in the neighbourhood, he is very apt to be deceived by these plausible statements, sad to give up all further contest about game. But in fact, from one cause or another, either from a promise that game shall do no injury, or from some kind of illusory, perhaps verbal, promise of payment for game damage, should it happen, land is very seldom let for less rent by reason of the reservation of c irord, . It is therefore manifestly most unjust, that a after he has let his land for its full value to forming tenants, should make a second rental by let tln the manor to a game preserver. Indeed, the improvement going on in husbandry, and the highly artificial method in which it is now aseessery to preserve game in cultivated districts, if it is to be preserved at all, have combined to render game preservation a grievance well nigh intolerable to the tenant farmers ; so much so, that we have no doubt that in many rural districts it will have an influence upon the elections which the landed gentry bat little anticipate. In East Lothian the tenant farmers have formed an anti-game-law association, and propose to contest ths representation of the county on that question, which, in fact, involves the point of whether land shall, in these days, be dealt with on commercial or feudal ciples. This is an important issue, which it well .meg the intelligent agriculturists of East Lothian to put in a e radicable shape for trial. And there are other districts in which farmers will make their feelings upon the monstrous wrongs inflicted on them by the game-laws, and the preservation of game, known to county candidates, though they do not yet find themselves strong enough to imitate the Scotch farmers in putting up a candidate of their own. Thus we learn that at a meeting at Downham, in Norfolk, of a number of the most influential agriculturists of the hundred, where sundry resolutions in favour of malt-tax repeal, and so forth, were passed,—" A general feeling prevailed, that the views of the canal- The Unicers announces the death, at Neplea Cardinal Acton, and of Cardinal Pigndelli, std' bishop of Palermo.
