Mr. BRIGHT could not allow this disenedes to does without ezpreming his opinion ea its seildect. He bad never listened to the deliberations in that helm upon any question connected with Ireland with half the delight which that evening's debate had gives him. (Hear, hear.) A more beautiful animation of a 1111111110111 than that given by the Solicitor-Oenerel of this moot egeollent bill he had never heard in that house ce elsewhere. (Hear, hear.) He could net find the siiihteat fault with the proposition, either that it went too far, or that it did not p far enough. There were, as the hon. and learned gentleman admitted, other things to be done ; but certainly the measure here submitted to the house was one which had begun at the right i oiut, and was pr ceeding at all events to a consider able extent in the right direction—(hear, hear)—and he was satisfied, farther, that though some learned gaudiness so opposite and les other linens connected with the land in Ireland might regard it as • dangerous measure, there was no elate in Ireland whose real safety was more c resulted by the bill than the clans of landed pro• pelotas. (Hear, hear.) For himself, he would say that, did he not conceive it would conduce) as much to their oak% and to the staint.usnos of their property, as to the softy sea to the maintenance of the property of any other elms, it would not have tbe warm support he was disposed to give it. (Hear, hear.) He was of o,,inion that oohing weld be more fatal than an attempt to militate the preyerty of any one class as agaiwit any other class; fialkftitS baled on sound principle'', eelculited to meet peat semen dee, must be, as this measure eminently was, certain to be advantageous to all classes in the country to which it re ferred. (Hear, hear.) He had that night fallen under the displeasure of two bon. gentlemen representatives from Ire land :he was not about to say th at he had not laid himself open to some of the observations which had been made ; but hon. gentlemen from Ireland would do him generally this justice, that on all occasions mince he had sat in that house, he had almost always makes, always voted, in fa vour of throe measures which had met the approbation of the members for Ireland, at all events sitting on that side of the house (bear, heat) while with respect to this especial measure, rettlemen from Ireland might perhaps recollect that at th el does of the last maim of parliament, he had made the precise propmdtion now mated to to the house by the Solicitor Geueral. (Hew, hear.) He had stated on that occasion that, before anything else was done with this question of land in Ireland, • special tribunal ought to be appointed, to which the adjudication of all ques tions connected with this subject should be referred, NIKO. from what he had beard of the condition of the Court of Chancery in Ireland, he was ettisfied that nothing effemive could be done without the establishment of such a tribunal. (Hear, bear.) He would appeal unhesi tatingly to the whole of his conduct, in sad out of parlia ment, to show that he had never exhibited hostility te the people of Ireland, or the se who represented them in that haute. (Hear, hear.) He heartily thanked the government for this measure, sad hoped they would exhibit as much de termination in pressing it through the hones, as they had exhibited wisdom is 0111* iving it and laying it before par liament (Hear, hear.) Sir J. WALSH had not heard any attack made upon the hon. member by Irish repewientativel. The only Smog attack that had been made that /mine was not upon the hos member, but upon the bill before the house, and this was by the hon. and learned member tor Oxford, who ds *oilseed it as sot being saffielently eselesatery. Mr. I. O'CONNELL said that the ad relative to enema. wed estates which was passed last year had rendered the expenses of the transfer of landed property in Ireland much greater than they had been under the law as it formerly stood. At the same time he must express his satisfaction at the manner. in wh ich the present measure had been brought forward.

BARRON inquired whether the easamisionere would have the game jurisdiction where 'prooredings bad eorniassosel in the Court of Euhequn as where they had eauuseseed in the Court of Chasten ? The SOLICITOWCHINBRAL replied that the equity side of the Exchequer and the Court of Chancery would be excluded in the provisions of the bill. Leave was then given to introduce the MIL ILEASES (IRELAND). The SOLICITOR-OLNWAL the. moved fool s an to bring in a bill to enable panne having perpetual lied interests in land in Ireland, to inks gnats in fee or denims for keg terns of pan. The object of this bill was clearly ezplaned in its tile. He proposed to giro power to penons haviag perpetual sad Unite intense in land, ta maks limos a blan : ms of their property for tarns of 99 pan, for or impronablo purposes. As IS was de grails that thee should be made in a certain form, it would M asseenty is a few days to introduce welter bill spathe @West.

Mr. SADLEIR treated that the meanie which the hon. aral horsed poems was about to introduce would be cab 'dated to improve the autos of taunt Maws ; for hothing would so mash add to improved agrionbure in Inland as sash a ersoare.

For, how many arose above swindling is this half-yearly " cookies" of railway accoenta P It was a fraud by which the price of Pastern Counties stock was raised and kept up fictitiously; by which thousands were induced to invest their money in that stock; by which the investors hoped ultimately to obtain that highest of railway blessings ten per cent. And who, now that the fraud has been discovered, that the bubble has burst, will recompense those who have been so deceived and deluded—all to their infinite lous—essne to their ruin 4 This, be it noted and remembered, is not a case cf self deception on the part of railway directors, is not a case of undue midway speculation, is not a case of sudden panic; it is a case of deliberate, dishonest fraud practised by the chairman and deputy-chair man of a railway company on their own consti tueota—of a fraud which there was not a man at the board or in the service of this company honest enough to expose. But the case against Messrs. lirrDsox and WaD rawarots does not end even here. There is a sum of 8,0001. or 9,0001. spent on parliamentary expenses, of which the latter is afraid to account, lest he be ques tioned "in another plaice ;" that lilacs being the House of Commas. There is a sum of 1,0001. given by Mr. HUDSON'S directions to Mr. WADDINGTON, whose services Mr. HUDSON once told his dupes were un remunerated. And, worse than all, there is a " second postscript," which details a transaction amounting to nothing less than the transfer by these two (cantle men of 2,0001. each to themselves of monies which were not theirs. Vacancies there must be fur Sunderland and Maldon ! irbt Court. THE DRAWING ROOM. The Queen held a drawing-room (the second this season) yesterday afternoon, in St. James's Palau.

Thus were also present many members of the town °ounce, tradesmen, and others. The body of the hall was well filled, and the whole proceedings passed off with the greatest unanimity. The CHAIRMAN, in introducing the proceeding', a favourable accorant of the Derby Financial Association; and in pointing oat the weaselly of having the suppwt„ sot ernly of the local prow, but also of the metro politan jenrush, he ovailed himself of the occasion to beer testimony to the eminent services which the Dairy News is rendering to the cause of political and financial Morse. The whole staff of she Vezify New was throwing its energies into the cause; and hence it was incumbent on all who sub scribed to a daily paper, and who were sincerely desirous of promoting the good cause, to give thst paper the preference over the other daily journals. (Hear, hear.) Adverting to the business that had called them together, the Chairman stated that financial reform was a question of vital import sus to all. The expenditure now going en was quite as great, if net greater (taking . the altered value of money into the account), as it was during war—and with shame belt spoken. Governments and legislators must, however, make up their minds to economise, for the middle and working Blames would not long submit to the present system. Indeed, the fault would rest with the people if they did not insist upon economy and retrenchment. It was a breeches pocket questise, a question that affected them all, but more parti cularly the working classes, whose families were debarred of many comforts they ought to enjoy, owing to the wasteful extravagance) of the public money. (Cheers ) With the view a helping on the good cause Mr. Archibald Prentice had paid them a gratuitous vi-it that evening ; and be (Mr. Peet) was sure that he would be listened to with attention and profit. Mr. PRENTICE then spoke at great length on the subject of Financial Reform. He was warmly cheered. When he had concluded, Mr. Councillor biLMILIT moved, and Mr. Councillor TAYLOR seconded, a vote of thanks to Mr. Prentice, which was carried by acclamation. The CHAIRMAN then announced, amidst vociferous cheers, that 700 working men had already joined the Derby Freehold Land Society, taking 925 shares. THE SHAXSPEARE SOCIETY. The eighth annual meeting of this society took place yesterday at the Craven Hotel, Craven street, trend;S Mr. J. P. Collier in the chair. The report anted that the council could not but refer with satisfaction to the interest manifested towards the literature of the period which the society had undertaken to illustrate. Various circumstances had tended to bring about this result, the chief of whi h were the sale of the poet's hones at Strat ford-upon-Avon, sad the purchase of the Chunks Portrait by the Earl of Ellesmere, the president of the society. The purchase of the house had greatly occupied the time of the members of the council, and their labours LS this cause had not yet ceased. The premises were at present vested in the committee appointed to carry out the purchase, and about 4001. were still required to place it is the hands of national trainee. The purchase of the Chandos portrait by the pre sident was • matter of considerable interest to the society, as every member would have an opportunity of panning an engraving from this, the most generally acknowledged representation of the pest. To accomplish this oboe as perfectly as psuible, the director Mr. Collier, had undertaken to accompany the portrait with an account of all the known representations of the poet ; and the council wen happy to state that the week would be stipend by Mr. Samuel Cousins. The books issued to the subscribers during , the year 1848 uses " The Moral Play of Wit and Science,' edited by J. 0. Halliwell, Esq., and ' Extracts from the Righters of the Stitionen' Company of Works entered for publication between the years 1557 sad 1570," with notes and ilustratiens by J. Payne Collier, Esq. Vol. I.—Another robins, still remained due on the subscription of last year, sir., " Miss Jones's Designs for Masques at Court," now first engraved from the original drawings in the possessioa of his Grace the Duke of Devonshire. Edited by J. R. Planchil and J. P. Collier,Eirps., with • new life of Miss Jones by Peter Cunningham, Esq. The fourth volume of the society's papers had been ironed as the first publication for the subscription of the present year, and the second volume of the " Extracts from the &widen of the Stationers' Coming " was making rapid progress through the press. There were various other works in the press, and amongst them were vol. v. of the " Shskspeare Society's Papers :" being a miscellany of contributions illus trative of the drama and literature of the Shakspernui era. to be continued. And " Tide Tarrieth no Man. A most plessannts and merry comedic, right pithy and fate of delight. By George Ward. From the unique ropy, 4to, 1578, in the library of the Duke of Devonshire." Then fol lowed • list of the works in the bends of the cams:o, or of the different editors, which will be brought out according to the sondition of the tunes of the society. The council oun della the report by expressing their gratification that the members of the society continued to inmate. The financial statement proved that the amount of re ceipts from the 18th April,lll4B, to the 18th April, 1849, was 4871. 18e. 9d.,wlitle the payments amounted to 4301. le. 3d., leaving a balance of 571. 17s. Bd., exclusive of subscriptions MI due. The report of the council and the report of the auditors having been adopted, the thanks of the society were voted to the editors of the various books issued during the past year : to John Payne Collier, Esq., for the Mt volume of the Extracts from the Registers of the Sentieners' Company,' and for the valuable notes and illos. tram appended ; and also to the same gentleman for edit ing the fourth volume of the ' Society's Papers and to the miens oontaibutore thereto; and to Major Inigo Jones for the sentribution of Inigo Jones's Portrait, ya the expenses binned in engraving and printing the same.—That the dash of the society be given to the director, treasurer, and secretary for their services." Five new members were then appointed to the council in the room of the Rev. A. Dyce, the Rev. H. H. Milman, Mr. J. Oxesked, Mr. J. R. Planets, and Sir George Rome, who were about to resign the oSce. Mr. MORAN then proposed a resolution, " That it be re temmended to the nasal not to destroy the engraved plate lithe Mundial portrait of Shalupears, without having pre ens* obtained the sanction of • general meeting of nembers." • discussion took place, and it appeared from statements by Mr. Cooper and Mr. P. Cunninghant, the treasurer to the society, that a contract bad been entered into by which Mr. Cousins had undertaken to limit the number of impress. dons to 750. Tr is being the case it would not be acting fairly towards the enbeinben to make the engraving ammo* to the public. Mr. MORAN stated that as a °menet had been entered into be would withdraw his motion. A. vote of thanks was then pared to the chairman, and the meeting separated.

LONDON, FRIDAY, APRIL 27. THs Re por t of the Committee of Intsestirtion to the Shareers of the Eastern Counties Railway, in serted elsewhere, fulfils—far more than fulfils—the worst auguries of those who had no faith in Mr. HUDSON. It is indeed a melancholy document; show ing at once how confidence the most entire can be un serupubusly abused; how men of ostensibly good character and recognised probity can submit, for the opportunity to job in shares and in railway . patronage, to terms CL distation at railway boards inconsistent with personal honour, and to practices of minters sentat^on absolutely fraudulent; bow shareholders can be galled and defrauded; how railw_v accounts can u be cooked" (the word Mr. WADDINGTON%) ; how rogues fall out when detected ; and how neither at the board of the Eastern Counties nor in the service of the company was there one human being who had the courage or the honesty to protect its proprietary spinet transactions almost re quiring investigation at the Central Criminal Court. Thirteen millions of capital in this company and its alliances were at the mercy . of Messrs. HUDSON and Wsnrimorox ; and since December, 1845, they have been paying at the game of ducks and drakes with it ; making and unmaking dividends, traffic, capital, and revenue, kid as they pleased; disbursing sums of which they will render no accounts; pocketing cheques, for which there is no authority, and of which they will give no explanation; appropriating to themselves money belonging to the company ; and even descending to the petty meanness of making the company ply their hotel expenses. In August, 1845, the Eastern Counties' Company,' though not a very flourishing one, was at all events a solvent and an honestly conducted con- 1 cern ; after paying alt its expenses, and the in- 1 tenet on its preference sharer, it then divided three shillings a share out of profits. Its share holders were, however, dissatisfied at this low rate of dividend in those golden days. Nothing lees than Mr. HUDSON and 10 per cent. would satiety them. Mr. HUDSON they got; but on his own terms, vim, " that he was to have the entire control and management of the company." This autocracy he, however, relaxed a little; he permitted Mr. WAD DINOTON to look after the traffic. Where could Mr. HUDSON find colleagues to sit at a board with him on such a condition ? Their presence there was evidence of their own nonentity, of their iielf-stultifi cnion of their regard for something else than the in terest; of their constituency. They reduced themselves to the condition of Chinese Mandarin figures, bowing only when Mr. HUDSON shook them. Found, how ever, such men were, and richly they merit the plight in which their more than Egyptian taskmaster has left them. With these almost papal powers, Mr. HUDSON took the chair; in it he forthwith promised the shareholders 10 per cent. Now Mr. HUDSON has, it must be confessed, an easy mode of conjuring up high dividends; he dec`ares them, and then looks after the money to pay them. Without even calling for such vulsar things as accounts, ho inaugurated his presidency by raising the dividend to 9s. ; whereat the Maurine nodded, and the shareholders sheeted. Hers is Mr. DerecAres, the law clerk's, acmes* el tie process; it is a simple, if not an ingenious or hem' one: The board meeting el the 22nd of December, WA wee held, and at that meeting a le. dividend was dennl i = No wastes had Uses beesprepared.

He got their money, called it revenue, and repaid it to them as dividends. The amount of money divided between those dates was 645,7141.8 a. 4d.; of that sum, 225,1411. 12s. 6d. was only, say the committee, " really applicable to divi dend." The capital was therefore robbed of the sum of 320,5721.155. 10d. Thus, also, in the last half year ending 4th of January last, the accounts as " cooked at the Albert-gate by Mr. HUDSON exhi- 1 bited a sun of 103,6871. 13 s. as net divisible profit. Whereas the committee have discovered that of this sum no less than 97,3644 14e. bd. was impro poly placed to the credit of profits; and that 6,3231. Bs. 7d. was all that the Eastern Counties then I had to divide amongst its proprietaries, who, half ' year after half-year, had been promised their 10 per ant. The consequence is, that this half-year there will be no dividend. What do the Mandarins say to this? The mode in which Mr. HUDSON concealed the real state of affairs from hie constituents was also simple : —" In order to justify the foregone conclusion of the board, the traffic accounts were altered, and the ex penses were squared to snit the dividend, and not the dividend to suit the expenses." Of course, now that Mr. HUDSON is found out, he denies all knowledge of any such asaipalations, though they began with his tenure oldies; nay, be protests that lie left the board because he maid not redoes the =miss / war wet awn that the sic its to revenue had bees charred b oepiMi.

Unfortunately, however, the evidence is very strong the other way. The half-yeses account for Ally, 1846, has been found so altered " with figures in the handwriting of Mr. HuDson." When in July, 1844 Mr. WADDINGTON, daring en excursion to Norfolk, remonstrated with his chief on declaring an 81. divi dend, the following scene occurred Oa the nest morning, as we were retarsing &meld*. the Nodal' line, he told as that I lad made Estisemble, ss he toted and would pay 8a pa share.

In the current number of the Irish Jurist, there is an article which you will find below on the subject of changes in our Irish equity system. There is cer tainly a great want of ?drum, now more than ever, when the peculiar nature of landed property is • so much changed. Only that ministers have too much on their hands, they would probably introdtwe some changes into oar judicial system. The Fkestnan's Journal has a most harrow ing account of the destitution in Connaught, and calls the public attention strongly to it. In Dublin the signs of the times are not so apparent as might be supposed. But the accounts front the south continue to get worse. Both public and pri vate accoutre from the city of Cork represent the misery and disease in that city as dreadful, and great alarm is felt lest the cholera should break ont there with great violence, owing to the misery of the lower chimer, acting in conjunction with the low and marshy site of the city. A very useful citizen, Mr. William, Kilcher, brought the state of the streets before the " Health Committee." It appears, that whole families of country paupers ale lying night and day upon the flagway ; a largo number of them actually in a state of disease, and the influx of these unfortunates from the rural districts continues. It was proposed that a score of constables should be appointed to guard the approaches of the city, anti , keep away the popery. The poor law inspector opposed the adoption of the prop pal; bat Mr. Maier stated that he had the law authorities on his side. In the meanwhile the medical profession at Cork and the public boards cannot agree upon the terms on which physicians should attend at the cholera Jausitc. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.-JENNY LIND Whatever reasons Jenny Lind may have had for leaving the stage, she hes found bettor reasons, it would seem, for returning to it ; and the same reasons, we hope, will induce her to remain upon it for some considerable time to come. The stage cannot afford to Lee Jenny Lind. Her leaving it in the prime of her youth, and the full strength and vigour of her powers, would make a blank which we could never hope to see filled up. The announcement of her re-appearance ham, for some days put, been the prevailing topic of conversation in every circle, and last evening the theatre was crowded by an immense assemblage, eager to see her once more in her favourite part of Amina in the " Son nambuta.” Her reception wee, if passible, even more enthusiastic than oil her very first appearance two years ago. The whole audience rose, and welcomed her with acclamations, while ha's and handkerchiefs were waving from every part of the house. Sho looked exceedingly well, and was in excellent voice. Of so well-known a performance as her Amine it is only necessary to say that it was captivating, and pro duced as great an effect en the audience as ever. The character of Elvino was supported by Signor Calzulari, who appeared fur the first time in England. This young performer's continental reputation is very high, but not higher than he dssirves. His appear ance is exceedingly prepossessing, and his whole repre sentation of the jealous country lad was full of truth and nature. He is a singer of the first class. His voice is a tenor, very like Gardoni's in the sweetness of its tones, but considerably stronger and fuller. His portamento is admirable, his notes being held and sustained with the most exquisite delicacy and smoothness; his intonation is perfect, and his style is pure and graceful Whether he is capable of giving expression to strong and tragic passion re mains to he seen; but in characters of the class to which Elvino belongs, he has unquestionably no superior. Beiletti added greatly to the effect of the opera by his excellent performance of Count .Rudolfo. His Vi ravviao" was beautiful. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA. Miss Hayes appeared at this theatre last evening in the character of Lucia, one of the parts on which her reputation was chiefly founded in Italy and Ger many. It was a very Sue performance,and was com pletely successful. We have already described the qualities of her voice and the peculiar features of her style. Her powers were more severely tried than in her previous pant of Linda. The music demanded much more vocal exertion, and the character is one of the most tragic on the musical stage. But Miss Hayes was equal to all its exigencies ; and, with the exception of Jenny Lind, she is, on the whole, the most natural and interesting representative of Lucia that we have seen. Her reading of the character dif fers much from Jenny Lind's. She has more softness and less passion; and in the final scene her madness does not rise to that terrible violence which terminates in death. Her manner of singing the air in that scene, " Alfin son tua" was exquisitely beautiful. iMario performed the part of Edgardo, for the first time we believe ; and, we confess, disappointed us. He was cold, and, in the famous scene of the male diction, he was tamer than any other great performer we have ever seen in the character. His most success. , ful effort was the air, " Fra poco" in the last scene; but his whole performance made less impression than we could have anticipated. Tamburini was admirable in the part of Ashton; we never knew him sing more beautifully or act with greater energy. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—The Queen and hie Royal Highness Prince Albert honoured the performances at Her Majesty's Theatre yesterday evening with their pre sence. Her Majesty and the Prince were accompanied by her Royal Hiehnees the Duchess of Kent. The royal suite (minded the Marchioueis of Douro, Lady Caroline Cocks, Lord Byron, Col. Buckley. and Col.
