Although the specie movement continues fa vourable, the exportation is likely to be augmented by the demand for China, and the proportionate increase which will, no doubt, take place in the Purchases of silver on the Continent. At the same time, however, it is satisfactory to notice that the supplies from Australia and America are well maintained, and hence it is imagined that the bul lion in the Bank of England will remain without any serious diminution. Although a large discount business is still ransacted the inquiry in some quarters is rather ess active. The rates, however, remain unchanged, and a relaxation is scarcely expected, so much en couragement being given to new joint stock enter prise, which in some cases may lead to an increased exportation of specie. A call of £2 10s. per share, amounting to £125,000, is due to-morrow on the Eastern Bengal Railway, and of 5 doll. per share on the Illinois Railway.

The number of boys at Saint Paul's School was fixed by the founder at 153, in allusion to the miraculous draught of fishes taken by Saint Peter.

Bond and Fres. By the author of " Caste." Three vols. Hurst and Blaekett. This is a clever novel, which exemplifies some striking phases of the human character, and in which the hero is very ably delineated. Wilfred is the exact impersonation of a weak character; all his wise intentions were frustrated by his irre soluteness, and all his good endeavours marred, if not wholly neutralised, by the sin that did so easily beset him. His career was indeed an eventful one, and a more powerful mind than his might well have been staggered at the prospect before him. Of a far more attractive style is his friend Herbert Southern. Not much is told us of this youth's career, and he is cut off at an early age, but what is revealed bears the testimony of a superior life and the promise of a glorious future, had he been spared to do service in his generation. The ladies are well drawn in this novel ; they are not slurred over, faintly praised, or covertly blamed, leaving one to infer that the author shares the conviction of the irrascible poet— " Most women have na character at all." Fe'icia is the least defined of any, but still we can clearly trace her conduct from the shadowy outline. She is a pure and gentle creature, far removed from the sordid and grovelling motives that ac tuated the world around her, and high above all selfish considerations. Such characters are rare, it is to be regretted for the sake of humanity, but for the glory of humanity they are sometimes existing among us ; they seem born to be the grace and glory of the spheres in which they move— "A boon in trust to mortals given," They come awhile to cheer our earth, Ere they shall seek their native Heaven." Mrs. Southern is a delightful specimen of a gentle and gracious lady, one of those wives and mothers who are indigenous to this country, and who are the presiding geniuses and the good spirits of many of the free and blessed homes of England, where they labour in retirement at the good work whose seeds spring up to fructify the soil—whose pious 'counsels and loving cares send forth sons to be the pride of theii country, and train up daughters to be the light of many a dwelling, till the blessing of Heaven seems to rest upon the home where the children grow up as the young plants, and shine as the polished corners of the temple. Of a totally different stamp is Mrs. Lister. Wild and impe tuous, she brooked not control, and seemed to say, with reckless defiance, "My heart may break, but never bend." Such a course ill befits a world whose best doctrine is humility, and where sorrow never has such sway as over haughty and rebellious natures. She was much to blame for her conduct towards her son, and she had to answer for many of his errors, for she forced him into a false position ; and besides, she had no right to think she could rule the decrees of fate, and avert the consequences of her unfortunate and wrong marriage. Eleanor Narpenth is again a contrast, and though of a most unpleasing class, she is finely sketched. She was naturally of most violent passions, and possessed of a headstrong will; hence some scenes, that appear at first sight rather strange and startling, are more likely when one considers the an tecedents of all parties, and the temper that agitated the spoiled Miss Narpenth. It is a great flaw in the character of Wilfred to have proposed to Eleanor, and the plea that honour bade him do so was perfectly absurd. It was a grand idea of the poet to make his hero say— "l could not love thee half so much, Loved I not honour more ;" but it is a miserable perversion of the original sen timent for lovers to declare that the dictates of honour command any one to act contrary to their rational convictions, and to violate the strongest and deepest feelings of their natures. The false vows brought their own doom upon them:in a short time, and bitter were the sufferings that ensued therefrom. Mr. Ireton, the guardian of Wilfred, is a peculiar man; he, too, made a serious mistake in harbouring those angry feelings that destroyed his better nature, and left but the dross behind; they inflamed and tortured him, as the worm that dieth not, and the fire that is not quenched. On the whole this novel furnishes one with some noticeable features of human life, and though the story is not at all pleasing, yet it is skilfully narrated, and may be of great interest to those who seek to study the motives and manners of men. Certainly the reader will find an instance of the sin of deceit, as evidenced in the marriage of Verbane, the evil husband of Mrs. Lister, an example of the misery of indecision to which the whole of Wilfred's early career bore irrefrao ° able testimony and the fatal extremes to which wild and un checked passions may lead us are displayed in the conduct of Eleanor. It is satisfactory to note how Wilfred afterwards betook himself to wiser courses, and although many like him would have fallen into worse ways, still there are bright exceptions. The useful existence he led when he was the secretary of Mr. Tregarther is a positive relief after the wild and wayward style of his life in London, andit was a blessing to himself and his friends when lie walked in the ways of reason after having so long wandered in the paths of fancy. There is no tyranny more severe than the thraldom which holds the victims like Wilfred in its hands, and no freedom more glorious than the release from it. He might have exclaimed "I am free as the bird that's escaped from the snare," when he entered on his new and better course. These volumes will be found to contain great. variety in their descriptions, and among their sketches, numerous and artistic, some must be found to call for admiration, except from the very captious and critical. Too much may have been made in some cases of Wilfred's peculiar style, but taking all things into considera tion, the story of " Bond and Free" has plenty of merit to redeem its faults, and abundance of inte resting incident to counteract any occasional tedium that may arise in the tenour of its nar rative.

The Attorney-General's scheme for appropriating the entire space between Carey-street and the Strand is carefully considered by the com missioners, who are unanimously in favour of adopt ing that scheme. They propose that the different offices, 14 in number, shall all be brought together ; that the law courts, instead of sitting at Westmin ster, Guildhall, Basinghall- street, and Doctors'- commons, shall be domiciled together. The site is midway between the Temple, Lincoln's-inn, and Sergeant's-inn, where most of the solicitors and counsel dwell. Lincoln's-inn-fields and Chancery lane are complete dens for lawyers, and they would thus be able to transact their business in very nearly half the time that they are compelled to devote to it now. One large firm employing some 70 clerks estimate that if the alterations are carried into effect they shall be enabled to do increased business with half that number, as owing to the courts and registry being so disposed, when once a clerk goes out to attend them they never know when to expect him back. It is proposed, should the plan be adopted by the House of Commons, that the first building to be erected shall be one for the registry of the Court of Probate and for the Di• vorce Court, as these departments stand in need of proper accommodation more than any other. This the commissioners estimate can be accomplished in two years from this time, providing that a bill be passed this session ; otherwise it will be more than three years before the first buildings can be erected, because the Office of Works will have to give the usual notice for the acquirement of the necessary property. Whether the Office of Works is favourable to the scheme or not has not transpired, but one thing is quite clear, that they do not expect it will be put in operation fur some years to come, because the office is laying out some £30,000 in acquiring and repairing some very old and dilapidated property in Doctor's commons for the use of the Probate Court ; and, further, it has given notice to purchase the freehold of a property let on lease, of which some 18 years are unexpired. The cost of acquiring the site, the purchase of existing houses, and the erection of other houses will, it is estimated, take an enor mous sum. This, however, does not deter the com missioners in their report from advocating the plan, on the ground that the unclaimed suitors' fund, with the exception of some £16.000 to be provided for out of the consolidated fund, will be quite sufficient to cover every expense. All that the House of Commons will have to do will be to pass a short bill authorizing the expenditure of the money, and guaranteeing that in case any of it s;tall hereafter be claimed the Treasury shall .be empowered to make it good. Simple, however, as it appears, there is little or no chance of this measure being passed this session. There is a larger amount of op position to the scheme than the commissioners antici pated. The owners of property in the neighbourhood of the courts and registries which are proposed to be removed are doing everything they can to pre judice the public mind against the proposition. On many of them it would entail absolute ruin, and therefore it is not to be wondered at that they are up and active in their opposition. They may not eventually prevent Sir R. Bethell's project from being carried into effect, but they may, and pro bably will, delay it considerably. In the interim, while the present uncertainty exists, the profession is put to much inconvenience ; they know not what to do, or where to pitch their tent. But indepen dent of this, the cost entailed upon the country by providing temporary accommodation is something tremendous. The Probate-office will cost at the least £30,000, but probably very much more, and all for two or three years' accommodation. Lord Palmerston has expressed his determination, if possible, to pass the B Inkruptcy and Insolvency Bill this session, if he asks Parliament to sit until the end of August. Now, if this takes place, fresh offices will be required for the new Bankruptcy Court, or else alterations will hive to be made, which will entail a very large outlay, all to be thrown away when the new courts are erected. The scheme of the commissioners has met, we believe, with the support of the Lord Chancellor and all the judges, and the only members of the bar who are opposed to it are those who are either members of Parliament, or those largely engaged in Parliamentary practice. 'While the courts are held at Westminster they can go from the committee-room to the courts, but if they are removed for six months in the year they must confine themselves to one line of practice or the other. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-( THIS DAT . MARLBOROUGH-STREET. AN IMPUDENT TlllEF.—Louisa Lyons, a dissipated looking woman, was charged with the following robbery in a dwelling house. Mr. James Parkhurst, china and glass dealer, corner of Cambridge-street and Broad-street, Golden-square, said that on the previous day he had been into Regent-street, . and on his return he entered the house by the private door, and as he was doing so he saw the prisoner corning out of the shop door with two of his coats, of the value of about £3, on her art . On telling her the coats were his, and that she had no business there, she replied, " Then lock me up," in a very impudent manner, and he then gave her into custody. Mary Ann Skeat, a young woman, living with her mother in Tyler's-court, Regent-street, said she detected the pri soner yesterday afternoon going up the stairs of her mother's house. On asking her who she wanted, she replied, "My husband," and then said her mother was lying dead in a court in Windmill-street. She had taken the key of one of the rooms away with her. Wright, 90 C, said that on going to the court where the prisioner said her mother was lying dead, he found there was a person lying dead there, but the prisoner was not in the remotest degree related to her. He also knew she had been in custody before. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded her for a few days.

Otherwise, the beef trade trade was in a sluggish state, on former terms. The show of sheep was seasonably good. Downs and half-breds were in request, at full quotations ; but other kinds were a slow inquiry on former terms. We had a fair sale for lambs, the supply of which was moderate, at previous rates. Calves were firm in price, with a steady inquiry. In pigs and much cows very little was doing, at late currencies.

Mr. Craufurd has moved for particulars of these charges, and the bill has ac cordingly been 13id before the Rouse of Commons. It appears that a number of statistical papers were prepared for the Government by Dr. Guy from materials procured by Messrs. Baxter, who also obtained returns from various boroughs with a view to ascertain the general feeling as to the effect of a proposal for the transfer d the county fran chise. Statements were prepared of reasons for allotting to the counties a large proportion of the new members taken from the boroughs, and of facts bearing on the proposal to lower the franchise; estimates of the numbers of lodgers in London, with observations on the enfranchisement of lodgers; papers on the relation of rating to value, on the anomalies of our electoral system, on the representation of " interests," and on the difficulty attendant on any scheme of disfranchisement. From the bill as sent in the Treasury struck off n per cent. "in lieu of taxation." For business of this class the scale of ; payment must be expected to be high. . THIS DAY'S SHIPPING.

GEORGE'S-IN-THE-EAST.—We are happy to state there is a reasonable prospect of a settlement of the dissensions in the parish of St. George's-in-the-East. Mr. Bryan King is shortly about to retire from the charge of the parish foi a year, with the view of allowing time for the subsidence of the present excitement, as well as of re cruiting his health, which, as may well be supposed, has been severely tasked by the prolonged anxiety of the past months. His place will be taken by the Rev. Septimus Hansard, who has been long employed as a hard-working curate in one of the districts of Marylebone. His views are those of a sound and liberal Churchman, unconnected with either of the two parties which have occasioned or fo mented the recent disturbances. We have every reason to hope that the result of this arrangement will be the resto ration of peace and confidence in the parish. SOUTH AUSTRALIA.—The total immigration into South Australia in 1859 comprised 7,855 persons, of whom 4,826 were males, and 3,029 females; the emigration to 3,609, of whom 2,499 were males, and 1,110 females; show ing an excess of immigration over emigration of 4,246 souls, of whom 2,327 were males, and 1,919 females. Since 1855 there has been an annual diminution in the number of im migrants sent out by Government ; in that year 39 ships were despatched, containing 11,871, being a greater number than were sent in the next three altogether; while last year only four ships were despatched, with 1,326 immigrants, of whom 629 were males, and 697 females. CAN TOADS LIVE WITHOUT AIR ?—This pro blem is now occupying the scientific. Mr. Punch contri butes his share of observation by remarking, that a party of officials, " highly placed at the Tuileries," travelled by rail last week from Boulogne to Paris, smoked, and kept the windows shut the whole way. Whence it is clear that, whether toads can or can not live without air, those who eat them can.—Punch._ vw _ ...._...

Power, was taken out of the steam basin at Ports mouth yesterday, and steamed outside the harbour to test her boilers and machinery. On reaching St. Helen's roads the piston of her after engine gave out, and a steam tug was despatched to her assist ance, by which she was towed again into harbour in the evening. The Dauntless, screw, 31, Capt. L. G. Heath, C,8., arrived at Spithe,ad, on Tuesday evening, from Southampton water. On coming to anchor she saluted the flag of the Commander-in-Chief, Admi ral W. H. Bruce, which was duly returned by the Victory. She weighed her anchor again early yes terday morning, and left by the Western Channel. The Sirius has been undocked from No. 1 dock at Portsmouth and berthed alongside the sheer jetty, where she will be completed in her preparations and fitment as a target ship. _ . The Sprightly, paddle, Master Commander Allen, has been placed in dock at Portsmouth to clean copper, &c. The Prince of Wales, 131, screw three-decker at Portsmouth, is nearly complete in the fitting of her valves and coppering, in No. 7 dock. In No. 8 dock the Cygnet, 5, screw, having passed her sur vey by the master builder and his staff, has been taken in hand for the fitment of her valves and for coppering. The pay-books of the screw steam sloop Grey hound, 17, Commander Sullivan, at Devonport, have arrived there, and it is probable that the crew will be paid wages to-day (Thursday). Sir William Snow Harris, P.R.S., a member of the Royal Western Yacht Club, was on the 14th inst. eltcted an honorary member of the Royal Yacht Squadron. The noblemen and gentlemen of the squadron consider that Sir William has by his scientific exertions rendered important services to the naval interests of the country. In the account of the launch of the after part of the frigate Constance, 50, at Devonport, which ap peared in The Sun of Monday it should have been stated that the entire operation was under the supervision of Mr. James Peake, the master builder of that establishment. The artisans at Keyham steamyard are cutting off the fore corners of the propeller of the screw steam frigate Emerald, 50, Captain A. Cumming, now in No. 1 dock. The building of the screw steam sloop Pantaloon, 11, at Devonport, is nearly completed ; and the ways are being laid down for launching her. The screw steamship Orion, 91, Captain J. B. E. Frere, in Plymouth Sound, took on board her pow der yesterday. _ _ Her Majesty's sailing corvette Havannab, 19, re cently given to the Ragged School Committee, at Cardiff, is to be furnished by the Government with two guns-18-pounders, and gear, complete. The third annual visitation of the Marine So ciety's Benevolent Institution, the Earl of Romney president, took place yesterday on board the so ciety's ship Venus, moored off Woolwich dockyard, Lieut.-Commander T. D. Sulivan, R.N., superin tendent. The great advantages accruing to the pub lic from this society in every view of its policy, humanity, and charity, and its importance to the country at large, as well as to the forlorn destitute boys who are the objects for whom the institution was promoted, have obtained for it a considerable degree of public sympathy and support. A large assembly of ladies and gentlemen yesterday accom panied his lordship and the committee on board, and a number of visitors interested in the institu tion attended the examination, and were extremely gratified with the aptitude and proficiency of the boys, 140 in number, about 50 of whom were called up in to give proof'of the progress which they had made since the last visitation, which was exces sively gratifying. They were also put through a course of exercise in the rigging, working the great guns, small arms exercise, rowing in the boats, &c.. and acquitted themselves with perfect satisfaction. Five of the lads, after having passed through the necessary course of instruction, are transferrgd weekly to the flagship Fisgard, and are enrolled in the service of the Royal Navy ; others are apprenticed to the Mercantile Marine, and are thus rendered capable of becoming useful members of society, and are removed from the scenes of vice and penury in which they were found. The officers of the steam reserve and the factory department at Woolwich yesterday proceeded to Greenhithe, and went on board her Majesty's ship Bloodhound, after the adjustment of her compasses, and accompanied her down the measured mile on a trial of her engines. She subsequently continued her voyage for the West Coast of Africa, calling at Portsmouth and Plymouth. The following appointments have been made at the Admiralty :—J. R. Anderson. assist.-surg., ad ditional, to the Fisgard ; J. Colwell, promoted to the rank of paymaster-in-chief ; J. Lewis, paymas ter, additional, to the Britannia ; W. H. Hills, pay master, additional, to the Impregnable ; H. H. Burmiston, paymaster, additional, to the Cam bridge ; A. P. Freeman, clerk to the Sanspareil ; T. W. Thorne, assist.-clerk, to the Emerald. The Committee of Military Organisation, of which Sir James Graham is the president, have re commended the reappointment of a Director-Gene ral of Artillery, formerly held by General Cator, the duties of which have recently been carried out by Colonel Tulloh, at Woolwich, in the capacity of Inspector of Artillery, simply. The committee have also recommended the appointment of a Direc tor-General of the manufacturing departments of the Royal Arsenal at Woolwich. It is at present undecided whether the new Director-General will be a civil or military officer. OPENING OF TILE EXETER AND YEOVIL RAIL WAY.—EXETER, Wednesday.—The line from this city to Yeovil, which is an extension of the London and South- Western Railway, was opened by the chairman and direc tors this afternoon. The line from Exeter to Yeovil is 49 miles in length, and the terminus is in Queen-street, Exeter, from whence it is intended to carry on the line to the St. David's station of the Bristol and Exeter Rail way, and ultimately a mixed gauge will be laid down from this station to Crediton and on to Bideford. An unbroken gauge from London to Exeter and the North of Devon will thus be laid down. The citizens of Exeter cele brated the opening by pullic rejoicings. Bands of music paraded the streets, tradesmen closed their shops, and dis played flags and bunting of a varied character. A similar festive spirit prevailed in the various towns along the line, and at Yeovil, Axminster, Colyton, and nOrlitoll, congratu latory addresses were presented to the chairman and directors of the line as they passed by the stations. At Exeter, the mayor, Mr. Drake, presented an address to the directors, in which th were heartily conratulated on the opening of a line which would be the mean g s of re-opening to the c i t i zens the communication with the metropolis by a direct road through a populous district for co nnex i on ears ast almost un ' approachable, and which led to the of our great national arsenals, by which a great public benefit was con ferred. On the arrival of the directors at the Queen-street to stat i on , early in the afternoon , the Mayor invited them in the n ame of his fellow citizens, a grand banquet, wh ich took place on Northernhay.

The Macclesfield Gas and the Horsham and Guildford Direct Railway Bills were read a third time and passed. LABOURERS' COTTLGES (SCOTLAND) BILL. On the motion that the house go into committee on this bill, The Earl of AIRLIE took the opportunity of explaining, certain misunderstandings, and directed the attention of their lordships to the state of agricultural labour in Scot land, and said when the bill was in committee he should move an amendment to the effect that the cost of improve ments for cottages should not be made a permanent charge on the estate. After a short discussion in which the Marquis of Bath, Lord Redesdale, and the Earl of Galloway took part, The house went into committee, and the amondment alluded to having been made, the bill was reported. CRIMINAL LUNATICS ASYLUM BILL (AMENDMENT). This bill was read a third time and passed. LANDS CLAUSES CONSOLIDATION ACT I(AMENDMENT) BILL. Earl DE GREY moved the second reading of this bill, and said one of the clauses en.powered the Secretary at War to take land for the defence of the realm. The bill did not increase the power given to the Secretary at War under the Defence Act, but it enabled him to avail himself of the machinery of the present measure. The Duke of SOMERSET said the bill did not give any new power to the War department ; it only gave improved machinery. With respect to the Admiralty the alterations, he wished could be better discussed in committee. Lord CHELMSFORD thought the bill conferred sue new powers on the Lords of Admiralty, and therefore it ought to be most carefully considered. After a few words from Earl DE GREY, the bill was read a second time. COLEWORT BARRACKS (PORTSMOUTH) BILL. This bill passed through committee. ANNUITY TAX ABOLITION BILL.

FORSTER, the following motion was agreed to :—" That standing orders Nos. 199 and 20; be suspended in the case of the Galway Harbour• (No. 2) bill, and that the bill be read a second time to— morrow. LANDLORD AND TENANT (IRELAND) BILL. . . The house went into committee on this bill, which was introduced by the Attorney-General for Ireland. On clause 1, Mr. M'MAHON moved that the chairman do leave the chair. This was a bill which was entirely for the benefit of the landlord, as far as it could be gathered from a careful study of its provisions, for the Government had re t stated what its real objects were. He thought before they pro ceeded further in the consideration of the bill that it should be reprinted. The bill contained 106 sections and repealed 57 acts of Parliament, while it changed altogether the re lation between landlord and tenant. Every one who wished well to Ireland must desire that the laws of Eng land should be extended to that country, but this bill had the contrary effect, for instead of the usual contract be tween the landlord and tenant in regard to land., it substi tuted a parliamentary contract. By the 31st section it was provided that any tenant having less than a perpetual interest in the land was prohibited. 'from cutting down trees, and for cutting a hedge, or ever, a gooseberry bush, he was subject to a penalty of £5. The hon. and learned member here quoted the authority eff some practical writers on this subject, to show the injurious objection of this provision. It was further provided by the bill that if a tenant violated his covenant in regard to cropping, accord ing to his landlord's view, ho might be taken before a jus tice of peace and sentenced to three months' imprisonment. Certainly there was an appeal to the courts of law, but in the meantime he might be undergoing imprisonment, and the justice of the peace was subject to no penalty under the act for anything ha did, however unjust it might subse quently demonstrated to have been. What he asked was that the landlord and tenant should n t be interfered with, or if the legislature did meddle with them, at least it should be for giving Ireland the same law as prevailed in this country. Again, with regard to eviction, the powers given to land lords were very arbitrary, for it enabled him to eject a tenant in opposition to an expressed or modified contract, in the ease of the land being overheld. The hon. and learned gentleman contended that in regard to distressing a tenant the law was also most unfair in the power it gave the land lord, and read some of the acts which the bill proposed to repeal without any substitution. He concluded by appeal ing to the house not to proceed with the bill at this ad vanced period of the session, when there was such a thin attendance, and when they had no chance of passing it through the House of Lords. Mr. WHITESIDE seconded the amendment, and con tended that the bill was a failure as it did not deal with the law of fixture and distress. In the bill which he had in troduced on this subject provisions were made in reference to these points, and he recommended to the Attorney-Ge neral for Ireland to postpone any measure on this subject until next session. After a few words from Mr. COOPER, Mr. DEASY said he did not think the conduct of the hon. andlearned member for,Wexford (Mr. M'Mahon) was fair to him or to the house, considering that the bills had been". discussed and the principle affirmed on the second reading. The hon. and learned member was not present on that occasion, and it was unjust to re-open subjects TI hich had already been decided; and with reference to his state ment, as to no explanation having been offered by Govern ment, he reminded the house that on the occasion of the second reading he explained the main provisions af the measure, though he thought it unnecessary to enter into details as the bill had virtually been before the house for the last four or five years. It would have been fairer to him (Mr. Deasy) if the hon. and learned member had given him notice of amendments to any particular clauses, and en the second reading of the bill, he invited the co-operati on of legal gentlemen and the criticism of the house ; his only object was to pass a bill that would improve the law between landlord and tasnant. He deniel that the bill was unjust to the tenant because it provided for facilitating the law in the ad orce ment of contracts between landlord and tenent. Not hing was so injurious to the tenant as the existing state of the law, as it afforded temptations to litigation, and induced him to expend his money in law instead of on improving the land or paying his rent. He adverted to two. cases illustrating his opinion, which had recently come under his experience. When the clauses came before the cot nmittee he would be prepared to rec nsider, amend, or expunge if it was shown to him to be desirable. (Hear, hear.) The bill was some time before the house. It was brought in im mediately after his resolution, and read a second time on the 15th May. Notwithstanding that he had invited the assistance and suggestions of his legal friends in Ireland as well as those interested in the land, there was no objection made to him against the bill, but on the contrary he had received from both classes strong expressions of ap proval of its provisions, and requests urging him to press it forward this session. He did not consider the provisions of the bill of the right hon. gentleman (Mr. Whiteside) cal culated to simplify the law, and they were likely to tend to litigation, which was the reason why he did not introduce them into his bill. Mr. LEFROY considered that the objections of the hon. member (Mr. M'Mahon) were unreasonable, but at the same time he thought any legislation between landlord and tenant dangerous. Mr. CARD WELL said that the real question was, whe ther they should consolidate the law between landlord and tenant, and his hon. and learned friend (Mr. Deasy) had taken great pains in effecting that consolidation. He (Mr. Cardwell) would not take en himself the responsibility of delaying this bill, which must rest with the committee. He appealed to the house to proceed with the, discussion of the clauses of the bill without further delay. After some discussion, The O'DONOGHUE complained that the explanation given by the Attorney-General for Ireland was brief and unsatisfactory, and he had received communications from some of his constituents objecting to the bill..
