He had no objection to accede to the suggestion of the • Government ; and if the house assented to the second • ireadjieg e he-would postpone tho , committee until Wed „ seiday , , the 3d of May. = . Mr. T. - DUNCOMBE was afraid that if the speech of e ses etheisleon. member for .§beffield, was revolutionary, the a,l•. e t seepbrit7, cf th'ePeople of this c o untry were in a state of ere , m iceOletioa; . for they Aare& in his sentiment's, while so far from his propOsal being PrePosterous, as was asserted ,by.the noble lord, he thought it was perfectly fair and reasonable.

Whilst ohjectingane a general rule r. ‘"tOnthe.managenaent of large estates by a c entral L and scheme the . s a me time he lied no ob. second reading of the bill, jecti©n to vote fo r the epee _on 4 the, principle that so methin g ought to be done, if the limo should wish it to be so read. He thought a • scheme which should confide the management of these estates to Joe:al commissions under proper supervision • l ereuld be far preferable. Mr. R. PHILLIMORE objected to any legislation ,e en ,this ground, while a commission was engaged in evidence and making inquiries upon which ▪ legislation might be safely founded. This was his prin abjection ;. but he could not on other grounds core e, smut to give his support to the proposed measure. „. 2re Joig. .MOWBRAY said, here was a bill to which both aides of the lionse dissented, more or less. Its provisions ..,,ii ej lAacl.peett considered by the Government ; in fact, it was , 9 10,0h4the Government entertained some objections to i."044.13t.; gow, then, could the house-consent to allow the e „..etecond reading to pass ? • For his own part he thought e the hill,had'been much improved, but he did not think lesee e thatthe hon. gentleman who had supported it on the !sreaeseinciple that something ought to be done would • * laL t haft far as to say that all episcopal and capitular •otime IM PlO7 ih0A4.14 *ministered upon 14 Byetoni of con- tralisation. He thought it was quite nn-Parliamentary, knowing that - they could not act upon their vote of to day for at least three months, during which time other and better measures might be introduced, to pledge them selves to the principle involved in this bill ; and so far as he was concerned he should vote against the second reading. Lord R. GROSVENOR advocated the second read ing of the bill. After the house had affirmed the prin ciple of the bill in a former oration ; and, after the at tention bestowed upon the subject by his noble friend (the Marquis of Blandferd), and the number of times he had.brought it forward before the house, he thought the house ought to agree to the second reading of the bill. He at all events trusted that the house would not stultify itself in the course it might adopt. Mr. A. PELL A.TT having offered a few observations in favour of the necessity for legislation on this subject, Mr. BARROW and Mr. MIALL spoke against the se cond reading. Sir J. DUCKWORTH explained briefly the grounds on which he should vote for an adjournment. The house then divided on the question of the ad journment of the debate, when the numbers were Ayes Noes lO2 Majority --31 The motion was consequently lost. Mr. HADFIELD, amidst loud cries of divide, divide, and some interruption, said he should move the adjourn ment of the house unless he could have a fair hearing. The hon. gentleman then proceeded to reply to some ob servations which had fallen from the hon. member for Liverpool, which he considered were of a personal nature. The house then divided on the motion that the bill be read a second time. The numbers were — Ayes Noes 102 E 6 . --36 Majority The motion was consequently carried. The bill was then read a second time, and ordered to he committed on the 23d May. SPIRITS (IRELAND) ACT AMENDMENT BILL. Mr. J. V. SCULLY, at the request of the Govern inent; postponed the second reading of this bill for a fortnight. TENANTS COMPENSATION (IRELAND) BILL. Sergeant SHEE also postponed the second reading of this. bill until the 14th April. INTRAMURAL BURIALS (IRELAND) BILL. The second reading of this bill was also ordered to stand over.

ARMY- BEFORE SEBASTOPOL COMMITTEE. 'Oa the motion of Mr.. BENTINCK that.the Tiame of Sir George Tyler be, substituted for that of Sir G. .Cornewall.Lewis on this committee. Captain ,SCOBELll.briefly maintained the necessity .of a np,val officer• being upon i the committee, • Mr. 'ROEBUCK. explained' the principle on which the' committee ba• . been constituted, namely;that the Go •OromentSlitotild nominate six members, and that lie himself should name _seven, making a total of thirteen members. • Now, as .the right hon. iQntleman, tii C-.

Be. then adverted to the arrangement with re =pea to _the Canabrld;;, rn...1 Bury line, with a view_ to show that the "cicaniency of not - traffic, after, paying everything, only . amounted to 2,4331., assuming . the working expenses at' 46 . per cent . while the average of the whole was 42 per cent. The cost of these line; amounted_ to 17,000/. per ruile , P, , he thought, therefore, that if they made similar arrang. inents.with regard to the Suffolk lines, which would cost only 10,0001. a mile, no loss would accrue from working them. The Eastern Counties lines passed through a rich agriculturaldistrict, and therefore the traffic on them was not so likely to be affected by the war as that of other lines passing through the man . iLicturirr , tricts. A long discussion ensued, in the course of, which its was proposed that the dividend should be paid clear i)f, income tax, but the motion was rejected. Mr. Toznt and other proprietors expressed themselves' strongly against the system of constructing branch lines and extensions, and urged the propriety of local parties Making them at their own cost instead of at the cost of* the company. The past experience of branch lines in their district showed them a ruinous drain upon the Company. The dividend in 1853 amounted to 12s. pe - r share, but in 1854 it only amonuted to 10s. 6d. per share. Estimates of expenditure on capital account' would in future be submitted' to the •shareholders for their sanction, and, as _soon as the' present works 'in= hand were completed, the capital 'account might be closed. The present working.stOck would be sufficient for niany years to come.
