The Marquis of CLANRICARDE moved the second reeding of thee* two bills. The bills were then serenity reed &second tinsel TDB DUBLIN IMPROVEMENTS BILL This bill was read a second time. TUB ENCUMBERED ESTATES (IRELAND) BILL. Lord CAMPBELL, in moving that the house should take into consideration the amendments of the House of Commons upon the amendments of their lordships to this bill, said that the bill when sent up to their lordships' house bed been referred to a select committee and several amendments had been made to the bill by that committee. All the amendments of their lordships bad been adopted by the House of Commons, with the exception of two. Upon an amendment of their lordships, limiting the power of the commissioners to sell en. cambered estates, the House of Commons had made an amendment to the effect that where an estate was in the hands of a receiver or in the possession of the mortgagee, the commissionenshould have no power to interfere. The amend ment as originally made by their lordships was one which would give rise to considerable difficulty, and was capable of being construed in one tense, whith would have the effect of defeating the object of the bill. He (Lord Campbell) re commended their lordships to adopt the amendments of the House of Commons, and be begged to move that the first amendment of the House of Commons, which provided that where area • had been appointed or the mortgagee was in possession the commissioner, should not interfere, be adopted by their lordship.. After • few words from Lord STANLEY and Lord BROUGHAM, The amendment of the House of Commons was agreed to. Lord CAMPBELL said the second amendment of the House of Commons was proposing to retain a clause by which the usher of the Court of Chancery in Ireland waa not entitled to poundage on any money paid out of tl.e Court of Chancery, or into it, for the purchase of encumbered estates. He had struck out that clause when sitting upon the select committee on the bill, be cause he had been given to understand that the usher of the Court of Chancery in Ireland was in the habit of receiving poundage. He had, however, been subsequently Informed by the Lord Chancellor of Ireland, that the usher of the court did not receive any poundage, and he therefore begged to move that their lordships would not insist upon their ami•ndir.ent, and that the clause, as originally inserted, should form Dart of the bill. The motion of the noble lord was then agreed to. THE WAR IN HUNGARY. Lord BEAUMONT, in presenting a petition from a public meeting held on Monday last, at the London Tavern, with reference to the war in Hungary, said that he had to present a petition purporting to come from a public meeting, but which was, in fact, merely the petition of the chairman of the meeting, Dwell gnomons, Esq , an alderman, as it bore his signature only. The petition referred to the war in Hungary. The noble lord concluded by reading the prayer of the petition. Lord BROUGHAM thought the noble lord who had jetst sat down had exerciaed a sound discreti , n in not entering at all upon the merits of the dispute between Austria and Hungary. The petition was ordered to lie upon the table. JOINT STOCK COMPANIES' ACT (1848) AMEND MENT RILL. Earl GRANVILLE moved the third reading of this bill. The Earl of EGLINTON said he thought that this was one of the mail , bills of which the house had a right to complain bring forced on their attention at so late a period of the session, when there was no possibility of giving it proper consideration. The noble earl concluded by moving that the bill be read that day three months. Lord REDESDALE thcusht it wu • bill that ought not to be premed on at so late • period of the session. and that the subject ought to be referred to a select committee. Lord BEAUMONT wu of opinion that in eases were compensation had been given to a man for his land, and the railway was not commenced, that some means ought to be afforded to enable a party to repurchase the property on equitable terms. The bill contained no provision for the state of things to which he had alluded, and he thought that it was desirable it should undergo further consideration and modification. Earl GRANVILLE, in reply, tail he thought that the power vested in the lisilway Commiesionen by the present bill was a props? one. At present a power was given to railway companies under certain circumstances to etireolve, one the bat did not, therefore, introduce one new principle. The Duke of WELLINGTON said their lordships had pulsed numbers of bills involving millions of property, and interesting vas - . numbers of persons, and now the govern ment wanted to enable particular parties interested, and the railway commission, to repeal all these acts, and put an end to all this property—a proposition of so grave ana tare that, at all events, it ought not to be proceedel with in the last days of the session, when it was impossible to give it adequate consideration. (Hear, hear.) - - - - - - - - - • Lord STANLEY quill concurred with his noble friend in the opinion that this was not a bill to be hurried through their lordships' house. Earl GREY Raid that, of course, if their lordships insisted upon their objection, it would be out of the question to press it further upon the house this session, but he thought that its passing would be a great public benefit. Mier a few words from Earl Granville, Lord Redesdale, the Marquis of Clanricarde, and Lord Brougham, ••• • • - The Marquis of SALISBURY withdrew his amendment, aad t►e thwd reading of the bill was postponed till to mwrow (this day). The Bankruptcy (Ireland) Bill paged through committee. PILOTAOE BILL. Earl GRANVILI:i;;;WiI; second analog of ibis bill. The Duke of WELLINGTON said he understood the object of this bill to be to relieve shipowners from certain expences to which they were now subject. He was appre hensive that this bill would have the effect of putting down certain ancient establishments in this country which had been most useful in regard to the difficult navigation in the river sass, more particularly in the communication with this great metropolis. Coder the existing laws all vessels coming up the Channel were under the necessity of taking pilots aboard, and for that purpose they had to make signals. The abject of this measure was to relieve vessels from the neces sity for making signals for pilots, provided they had on board a person who wu certified to be competent to take charge of the ship. He had been warden of the cinque parts for 20 years. In the first ten, from 1829 to 1839, 3,800 ships on the average were brought into the river annually. In that period there were only 22 complaints of accident through the misconduct of pilots, and an inquiry, it turned out that only nine had any foundation. In the se cond ten years there were only fourteen complaints, and of those only six were well founded. In all the other eases the pilots were entirely acquitted of blame. Under these circumstances he thought that their lordships must feel that great care ought to be taken not to injure that useful institution to which he had referred. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE would be the last person to say anything in disparagement of existing authorities, which parliement was bound to respect, net only on account of their antiquity, but also for their prosier and diligent dis charge of the important functions committed to them. But this bill was founded on entire respect for and confidence in those authorities, and its provisions were only permis sive. The noble duke would be left at liberty either to preserve the existing system as it stood or to intro duce such modifications as he might consider expe dient. But the bill gave to other authorities who had long exercised similar functions the power of dispensing with the existing regulations under certain circumstances and with certain limitations in cages in which the exemption might be for the benefit of the shipping trade. Lord STANLEY said it did not appear that there was any great burden resting on the shipowners; and one great evil of pausing the measure would be, to render the 'apply of pilots uncertain and fluctuating. He would like to know whether the government wished to confine the licenses to British vessels, British masters, and British mated. If they did, that was inconsistent with treaties of recipro city ; on the other hand, if there were to be no such limita tion it might be dangerous to give foreigners opportunities of becoming acquainted with the intricacies of our naviga tion. In a national point of view the measure was objec tionable. Lord COLCHESTER agreed that it would be very hie:- pendient to give foreign masters and mates an opportunity of leaving the navigation of the British seas end riven. Earl ORANVILLE replied. He did not think that their treaties with foreign notions would compel them to admit pilots on foreign vessels ; but if foreign vessel. had men who were ready to submit to the regular test, he did not see why they should be refused to pilot the vessel. With respect to danger @rising from a knowledge of their coasts, he thought it most visionary, especially when they furnished foreign countries with maps and charts of the omit. (Hear, hear.) The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH believed this bill was introduced hurriedly, in compliance with the wish of pro prietors of steam-boats plying from foreign countries. He did not think it necessary, in order to remove this grievance, that a general measure should be introduced. If they pummel this bill, they would create an inferior class of pilots. He should therefore movethat the bill be read a second time that day three months. The house then divided—For the amendment lO Against it The bill was then read a second ti me . ROYAL PAVILION (BRIGHTON) BILL. On the motion of the Rad of Ceauxems, this bill passed through committee. PROTECTION OF WOMEN BILL. The Earl of HARROWBY moved that the amendments of the Commons to this bill be agreed to. L+rd CAMPBELL s.id that all were unanimous as to the , obj •et of the bill; the different* was as to the best means of attaining that object. As a specimen of legislation, this nemeses was most defective ; no punishment could he in. flirted under it unless the offence was consummated. It not only did not strengthen the common law, but actually weakened it. It also held out a premium for the institution of prosecutions, and would doubtless lead to many false charges. He moved that the amendment. should be taken into consideration that day three months. Earl NELSON denied that any premium to prosecutions was held out by the bill. The amendments were then agreed to without a division. The Trustees Relief Bill was read a third time and passed. NEW FOREST AND WALTHAM FOREST BILL. The Earl of CARLISLE moved the second reading of this bill, meting tb.t it went to institute an inquiry with a view to further legislation. Lord REDEBIiALE complained of the expense likely to be incurred by the nonamission. After a few words from Earl Powts, and the Earl of CARLISLE in reply, the bill was read a second time. The New Zealand Laad Conveyance Bill passed through committee. gi N 124 SO 23 ii 4 li 5 474 10v 127 6 ex di,. 9 ii. 111e:int POOR LAW UNION CHARGES ACT AMENDMENT BILL In committee on this bill, -- Lord REDESDALE objected to the 16th clause, which related to money found in the possessinn of paupers in workhouses, u not going far enough. Where a party re. wired relief for a length of time, and was afterwards dis covered to have property, the amount of relief ought to be made recoverable in the small debts court. Re moved an amendment to that effect, which was agreed to without a division. On Clause 20, which authorises expenditure for emigration purposes, Lord REDESDALE objected to it, as dispensing with the authority of a vestry meeting of the parish, Lord CAMPBELL said that great evils had arisen front requiring the anent of the whole vestry. The consent of the guardians of the pariah was still necessary. _ . Lord REDESD ALE said he should move the omission of the dans,. Lord CAMPBELL complained of the noble lord intro during these amendment without notice. Had be known of them, he should have requested his fritnds to stay to support the clauses as they stood. (There were, at that time, may two peers, Lord Canspbtll, and the Earl of Car• on the ministerial bench, and four on the opposition side ) The Earl of CARLISLE defended the clause as it stood. Ultimately, the amendment was withdrawn, and the clause was agreed to. The bill then passed thr ugh com mittee. The Judgments; (Ireland) Bill passed through committee. The Enlistment (Artillery and Ordnenoe) Bill was read a third time. CHAPELS OF EASE (IRELAND) BILL. In committee on this bill, Earl POWIS proposed one or two verbal amendments. The bill was then passed through committee and reported, and their lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TnuasDAT, JULY 26. The Sea Axes took the chair at 1 o'clock. NATIONAL EDUCATION. In answer to a question from Mr. HENLIY, Sir G. OBEY said that the minutes of the committee o courcil on education which would be laid on the table, in consequence of an address voted on a previous day, would contain all ptrticulera of the regulations unit. r which the normal school at Norwood for training trhoolmagters for workhowes was to he conducted. Though the school would he unconnected with any pa -ticular religious sect, the fact that the headmaster was a clergyman of the church of Erg land, and, together with the second master, was a digtin guished member of the university of Oxford, we., he thought, n 'ufficient guarantee for the nature of the education which would be given t the pupils. (Hear.) ()RANO! PROCESSIONS IN IRELAND. Sir G. GREY said the hots, would recoil, ct th►t yester day the hon. member for Manchester (Mr. Bright) had put a question to him relative to a speech alleged to have been made at a dine► by a justice of the peace of the county of Down, in Ireland, and that he (Sir G. Grey) then said he had not heard of that cccurrence. In the course of the day, however, he recta's( d a letter from the Lord Lieutenant, stating that he had seen the report of the speech in the same paper as that from which the has. memher had quoted, and tic-A he had thought it hie duty immediately to call for full information of what had taken place at the dinner, in onier that the necessary steps might be adopted thereupon. (IL ar, heir.) CONSOLIDATION FUND (APPROPRIATION) BILL. HARBOURS 'OF REFUG E. On the motion for the third reading of this bill, Mr. HUME rose, puruant to notice given yesterday, to till the attention of the house to the circumstances connected with the cep mditure of public money in the improvement , f harbours, which he thought to be of great importance. The house would recollect that about eight veins ago a dis cussion took place with regard to the harbours of this coun try, and that in 1845, by an address of that house, her Ma jesty app dated a tomminioa to inquire into the state of our tidal harbours and navigable rivers. That commission col lected a vast deal of valuable information upon the subject generally, and the members were unanimous in recom mending the adoption of a course to the goes rnment with the view or securing for the future a pr ,per appropriation of any funds that might be required for the improvement of the harbours 0. this country. Amongst other evils which the C0M3241.1 ou pointed out there was one of long standing. By an act of Chardw, the harbours of the country had been placed tinder the superintendence of the authority of the Lerd High Admiral, who had powers under that act to prevent all encroachments on land under and within the high -eater mark of ordinary tides. In ellen, instructions were laid own in that act that no buildings, no works, or alterati , no of any description shou'd take place, but untie, the sanction of the Admiralty. On irquiry ft VIM found that the Ad miralty, from the pressure of eircumstanws and the im mense amount of business falli-g on that depsetme had altogether neglected that duty, and that in no cans had they ever interfered with any works proceeding in any river er haerour, unites the same had been referred to them by the compl int of parties interested. The cersequence was, that many works had been undertaken without the know ledge of the Admiralty which had tended, owing to their un skilful execution, materially to injure the harbours. The come.issioners, finding that this was the case, and that the Board of Admiralty had not had leisure to attend to these numerous works, but had deputed a large pendia of the business to the hedrographer, recomended that a separate department should be appointed to manage these matters, and they prepared a hill which was intended to carry out all their recommendations and to provide for the appointment of a permanent officer who,. duty it should be to see that no injury was done to the harbours of the country. It appeared to the commission that the system hitherto car ried on had not been attended with advantage ; that the natural harbours of the country had been neglected, and in many eases bad actually filled up. A emnraittee was ap pointed, consisting of Capt. Bethune, Capt. Washington, and another gentleman, who were to take cognisance of the state of our harbours and navigable rivers. The appoint ment of that committee had resulted in the greatest advan tage—millions of money had been saved to the country by their promedings, and the whole expense had been the difference between the half pay of Captain Washing ton and 8091. a year that gentleman having been appointed by the government on account of his immense acquaintance with our rivers and harbours. It was intended that no money, either public or private, should be expended on tidal harbours or navigable rivers, except under the superintendence of that department; hut he complained that that rule hod not been carried out. With reference to the services rendered by the commission which was appointed with the concurrence of Lord Auckland, he must say that he had never met with any man, whose seal, attention, and in dustry, had exceeded that of Capt. Washington. Open at all times to give information, ready at all times to go anywhere where the public service required his attention, he felt bound to express the highest opinion of the talent which Captain Washington had exhibited, and the unvarying exactitude of his details. The report of the harbour committee was now printed ; and though it was not yet in the hands of mem bers the result wan, that it recommended the reduction of the harbour department, and dispensing with the services of Captain Washington. He (Mr. Hume) wished to ask then who was, henceforth, to take the duties of that department— s department which the Tidal Harbours Commission had pointed out to be necessary, which was approved by the late government, and by Lard Auckland, and of which Mr. Ward, when he saw the amount of information they bad gained, recommended the continuance. Whe, he asked, was hence forth to conduct that department—who was to superintend the expenditure of money in matters connected with our harbours and navigable rivers? He held in his hand a list of 16 reports which had been laid on the table of the house, all connected,. more or len, with the harbours of refuge and navigable rivers of this country —a pretty good evidence of the importance of the subject; bat be wanted to know what bad been done, and In what way had the public interests been protected in the expenditure of money for the improvement of harbours of refuge. Admiral BOWLES, having been chairman of the com mission on the state of tidal harbours, and having had an op portunity of knowing the dangerous state in which they were, and the narrow escape several harbours had of being completely blocked up, thought that nothing could be MOTS important than to direct attention to the report which had been made is March, 1846. He had beard that the Admiralty intended to diminish the efficiency of the Court ef Conservancy, and a report was abroad, which he trusted was unfounded, that some powerful influence was at work to neutralise the endeavours to make harbours clear. Another report which he had heard was that Capt. Washing ton had been fulfilling his duty too earnestly, and that now he was to be dismissed. Sir F. BARING said that he bad been the only party concerned in the arrangements, and he was the party to blame, if there was any. He had made no alteration in the liminess of the harbour department. He had withdrawn no thing from the efficiency of the harbour department, and it was not his intention so to do. He believed the harbour de partment was the foundation of a great deal of useful and valu able information, and it was not his intention to diminish the usefulness of that department. On inquiring into the whole subject the committee came to this conclusion ; they said, if it was thought desirable to maintain the harbour de partment, they were decidedly of opinion that two would be sufficient to perform the work. He believed the work would be efficiently performed by two gentlemen, and with that opinion he tit it his duty to communicate to Captain Wash ington, without throwing any censure on him, that as he was the last appointed, he was the party on whom the re duction must tall. He wan attacked for thinking the work could be done by two, and therefore he would not keep up three. That wu the reduction of whieh I.e had been guilty, As to the superintendence of the harbours of refuge, they were not created under the authority of the Admiralty. The harbours of refuge were a government arrangement with the consent and co-operation of Lord Auckland. As far so the Admiralty was concerned, the Admiralty give their ceuse a t. The hon. gentleman asked how was the work done? The Admiralty entered into a contract with the parties performi the work, and Messrs. Kendal and Walker were the sod: neon superintending the work, sending quarterly state ments of the progress of the work, and certifying the amount of the we rk done on the contract. Lord Auckland took a great deal of personal interest in these matters, aid inspected the works last year of the Channel Islands, end other works. Since be (Sir F. Baring) had b. en in office, he had made no alteration whatever• It was his intention, as loon as the house was up, to go to the Channel Islands, and see the works going on there. If he had committed say job, it bad only been one of saving the public money. - • _ • Mr. W. PATTEN expressed a hope that some arrange. merits might be made. that such reports u the Admiralty thought it accessary to make, might be laid before tba house. After a few words from Capt. BERKELEY, Mr. RICE said that it was only from what was stated by the First Lord of the Admiralty that they knew it was the intention to make reductions. The Hon. Member for Mont role had mixed up two questions which were quite distinct, via., tidal harbours and lharbours of refuge. The harbours of refuge were proposed to be made becawe there shi.uld not be tidal harbour,. The hon. member for Montrose said there was no inspection, that nobody knew what state the works were in. If he was not wrong the Lords of the Ad miralty had inspected the works themselves both at Harwich and Dover. Capt. PECHELL said that, at an early part of the see sion he drew the attention of the First Lord of the Ad miralty to the system of the distribution of medals to the officers and seamen of the navy; and the house was given to und, rstand that there would be a reconsideration of the several claims. Sir H WILLOUGHBY asked who was the party respon sible for the original plan of the works and for the original estimate ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that all these work, were founded upon the report of a committee, appointed in the time of the late government, to recommend certain ports for harbours of r , fuge. The Admiralty was the department responsible for the performance of the duty. Sir J. GRAHAM could not say that this conversation was altogether uselets, becetve it was clear from the inquiry into the naval estimates last year, that the Mmiralty did not hold themselves responsible for the details of the manaTemeat of harbours of refuge. On the contrary, as far as Fe appre- hended, from rending the evidence of the miscellaneous com mittee, it appeared to him that the expenditure wee under the more immediate control of the Treasury and of the Chancellor of the Exchequer in particular. _ _ --- Mr. GROGAN, in reference to the distribution of medals, called attention to the services of those who had been engaged in boat actions_ Lord J. RUSSELL paid that it was necessary to lay down a rule, and if those rules were departed from, then every man is the sersice of tho crown during the war might re ceive a medal. There was every desire to give these medals in a manner to do justice to all. Mr. HUME said that he had moved for a copy of the rules and regulations ; end tr ked why they +err not Itti , l on the table. The rule laid clt wn did not apply to the raw of tp. Cape of Good Hope. All modish ofticers were reflood. Lord J. RUSSELL said that the Duke of Wellinptou had convinced him that it was impusible to establ.sh a ddierent rule. Mr. HUME observed that from wh t he had heard on the subject, there wag no chr ek and prup , r elntrol, av irdended and approved of by Lord Auckland. If Lord Auckland made a survey, vby was there not a report made. It was int.cuded that the house should have a permanent rccurd of all these proceedongv. Biz F. BARING said that he had made no alteration, and it there wu any blame, it was not at his door. The bill was thea read a third time and passed. CUSTOMS BILL. The above bill was read a third time and passed. WORKHOUSE LOANS (IRELAND) BILL. On the order of the day for the third reading of this bill, Lord J. RUSSELL said be had intimated to an hoe. friend that he would take the Lords' amendments on the Irith Poor-law Amendment Bill into considers.ion that day, hut he found himself obliged to postpone it until to-morrow (this day) at 12 o'clock. To tome of these antenOments the government were prepared to agree, and to Beam they disagreed. The amendments were extensive and important; and as they were connected with the prrsent bill, he thought that it also had better stand over until to-morrow. Sir J. GRAHAM hoped that, previous to the discus,ion, the noble lord would place in the hands of members the al terations contemplate d by government. Lord J. RUSSELL would do so with regard to the prin cipal amendments he meant to propose. Bill postponed to this day at 12 o'clock. TREASURY INSTRUMENTS BILL. This bill was read a third time and pawed. COMPOUND HOUSEHOLDERS BILL Sir W. CLAY, in moving the second reading of this bill, wild, be was Lorry to trouble the house with at y observa tions at that late 7period of the resion ; but it would give groat satisfaction to a large body of liousohe'd.rs if the house were to ratify the principle of relief a netodi i in the bid. The question Icy in a nutshell, and with the permission of the house he would shortly explain it. Hen. nemben were aware that the new franchise created by the . It-form Bill was given to householders ocrupyire tent tient 5 of e cer tain yearly value, having resided within the borough for which they claimed to vote for six months, and having occu pied atonement for 12 months. The other coo dsion was that they should have paid up all rates and taxes. The machinery provided by the Reform Bill for carrying the principle into effect was that the overseers of every parish were required to make out a list of persone.occupying tenements of 10/ yearly value, and who had paid their rates and taxis. From the list so prepared the clerk of the peace made out the register of votes. Now, in very many of the large parishes in Hog land, and especially in the metropolitan 'needles, there were local acts empowering the palish officers to compound with the °weer, of houses for the payment of rates; and this power was very extensively acted upon. A deduction was allowed of 25 per cent., and the consequence wee, that the owner of 60 or 100 small houses obtained no inconsiderable profit b calling on his tenenta to pay him the full rate, while he had a discount of 25percent. The only name in the rate- book was that of the parson who paid the rate, and the consequence was that for several years subsequent to the passing of the reform bill, the occupiers of such houses known as com pound householder, had been completely disfranchised. He was sure the house would agree with him in thinking that such a state of things demanded a remedy ; and what he proposed to de in his bill was to put the compound house holders on the same footing as the 40.. freeholders—tiant was to say, to require from them only one claim for the franchise, that being the requirement of the 37th section of the Reform Act. All other persons being qualified were placed on the register without their own act, but the 40s. freeholders In counties were obliged to make one claim. lie could not conceive that there would be any objection to the principle of this measure. Some of the machinery might be thought clumsy, but he did not think that any one would consent to keep from the franchise persocs who, both by occupation and payment of rates, were entitled to it. (Hear.) Mr. HENLEY was glad to see that this was no question of the franchise, all were agreed as to the justice of the principle. (Hear, hear.) But he objected to the machinery as involving uncertainty in ascertaining who was and who was not entitled to the franchise. The great object of de volving the duty of registration on the overseers was to place the matter beyond the possibility of doubt or conten tion. He moved as an amendment that the bill be read second time that day three months. Lord J. RUSSELL agreed that this was not a question of the franchise, but undoubtedly it was one of registration. He could not assent to the proposition that it was not aam requiring a remedy. (Hear, hear.) The Reform Bill gave the right to vote to 101. householders, but in certain cote they did not enjoy the right, owing to the fact of their rates being paid by the landlord. The mode of ascertaining the right was, as his noble friend had said, difficult and vexa tious, requiring many applications; and that certainly was not what the Reform Bill intended. Now he (Lard J. Russell) must say that, in his opinion, his hon friend hal completely made nut his case. (Hear, hear.) He thought that when a man had to go several times to the overseer to ascertain whether his name was on the list, that constituted a serious obstacle to his obtaining a vote. (Hear. hear.) His hon. friend contemplated the security in tended by the Reform Bill by providing that the householder should have paid his rates. (No, no.) The intention of the Reform Bill was, certainly, that no person should be entitled to vote who hail not paid his rates. (liein, hear.) He should give his arsent to the second reading, merely on the ground that there was a case requiring a remedy, but is committee he should take care that the persons claiming to be on the list should be liable to rate, and like every other householder, should have paid his rate previous to his being entitled to vote. Mr. NEWDEGATE opposed the bill. Mr. ROEBUCK appealed to the hon. mrmber for the Tower Hamlets, not to delay the house by a division, which could have no practical result. Capt. PECHELL supported the bill. Sir J. GRAHAM thought it would be a lamentable waste of time, if the hon. baronet, the 'amber for the Tower Hamlets, pressed his motion to a division. It driven is a division, he (Sir J. Graham) shou:d certainly vote against the bill. He wsa of opinion that the compound householders were entitled to the franchise, and he agreed that some remedy should be applied. (Hear, hear.) But as he did not think the hon. baronet's bill the proper remedy he must of necessity vote against it. (Cries of " With draw.") Sir W. CLAY unwillingly consented to withdraw the bill for the present, but would console himself with the Om* aion which the aoble lord at the head of the government had made as to the justice of its principle. Bill withdrawn. GENERAL BOARD OF HEALTH BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. INCLOSURE ACT (EXTENSION OF POWERS) BILL. Bill read a third time and passed. LEASEHOLD TENURES OF LAND BILL.
