NOW ready at all the Libraries, in 2 vole., post Bve., A NOVEL. 0 D. " The author, we are convinced, is young, otherwise we could hardly see displayed such fresh and enthusiastic sympathy in be half of his heroes and heroines. Ile is a writer of genius, inspired bya high standard of morality and religion, and by a laudable love of the purest sort of fame. We gather this from the glowing lan guage in which he expresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions on the subjects just mentioned. There are several chapters, in which links of the story are dropped, containing most eloquent essays on matters that are the prima mobile of the actions which cha racterise nature's nobility. The writer evidently belongs, though he has marked per se peculiarities, to the school of the Disraells, Man nerses, and Smythes."—Observer. " Silwood' is no ordinary work ; it contains passages at exceed ing beauty, and is written in pure and forcible language, with great good taste and power. It is one of the most interesting and en gaging novels which the present season has produced. Of the cha racter of Amelia Ross we have already spoken, and the extract we have given above is the surest voucher of the truth of what we have said. The other ladies who play conspicuous parts in the tale are Florence Howard, an intellectual beauty; Jessie Gordon, a wild and impulsive genius, passionately fond of music and poetry; and Julia Maitland, the noblest and best of them all."--Morning Post.

" Parliamentary Reform" is a phrase that stinks in the nostrils of the heredi tary legislators. They look back with regret on the igood old times when rotten boroughs flourished, when 1 each Noble Lord could " do as he liked with his lown," and when the obedient constituency received • with due submission the orders of its lordly pa- I tron, returning as its representative the worthy gentleman, who, having purchased the honour, at a tolerably high figure, was anxious to turn his bargain to the best possible advantage, and only sought fa vourable opportunities for selling them in turn—or even, if a greater evidence of subserviency were re quired, would, with equal pleasure, have re turned one of the sturdy " flunkeys," whc, with fragrant bouquet and stalwart calves, wield the gold-topped bamboo behind her Ladyship's chario`. These palmy days have unfortunately passed away. The fatal year 1830 was a period of mourning and tribulation among those who had invested their capital in whit were com monly termed "pocket boroughs." Many were alto ' getter disfranchised. Placed in the black list, the doomed schedule A, no consolation remained for . their dejected proprietors. Others retained a moiety of their former honours, and still sent one Member to dose away his time on the benches of St. Stephen ; while a fortunate few, barely evading the assigned limit, continued to send two Members to the Commons House of Parliament, and thus shone with increased lustre from the extinc tion of former competition. Forty-two boroughs, sending sixty-nine Members to Parliament, escaped this modern " massacre of the innocents." These fa voured districts are still what is modestly styled "subject to local influences," or, in other words, the mere form of an election is gone through. The "free and independent electors " flock joyously to the hustings to record their votes in favour of the nominee of the noble patron. There is of course no appearance of a contest, no person would be guilty of an act of such ridiculous folly as to suppose that those " highly respectable persons," so eminently worthy of the franchise, would vote contrary to the high behests of the magnate into whose hands they had surrendered what , should be the most cherished privileges of a freeman. A few complimentary speeches are made, and the day closes in drunkenness and debauchery, a fitting con clusion to the disgraceful scene of corruption and venality with which it commenced. . . . But the Peers of England cannot consent to any amelioration however trifling. Any additional infu sion of the popular element into the constituencies might render greater the chances of rebellion, and possibly lead to political revolutions in the representa tion of these happy boroughs. Un warned by the consequences of their dogged refusal, twenty years since, to disfranchise East Ret ford, and to bestow the privilege of which it should have been deprived to one of our busiest seats of manufacturing industry, their Lordships are still opposing every concession, and exhibiting the most unbending obstinacy. But they were speedily obliged to " eat their leek," albeit the task was one of intense suffering, and possibly they may again have to yield an undignified submission if they force the popular branch of the Legislature into a collision, and that on a question relating to the constitution of the Commons House of Parliament. The state of the franchise in Ireland had become truly deplorable; it was a ridiculous absurdity to assert that it was anything approaching to a popular representation. The state of the electoral lists in France previous to the late revolution was not more remarkable than those in the Irish counties at this moment. We have heard it over and over again asserted that the fall of the Orleans dynasty was mainly attributable to this glaring defect, and yet the Lords are anxious to perpetuate in Ireland a system which led to such results in a neighbouring country. _ _ The Earl of CARLISLE last night stated, and we believe but too truly, that " the whole constituency of the Irish counties did not amount to 30,000." And be it remembered, that the inhabitants of these coun tries amount to between 6,000,000 and 7,000,000, or, as Lord DEFFERIN remarked, " but two-fifths of a re spectable man to every hundred persons in Ireland." This was a state of things urgently requiring cor rection. Something should manifestly be done, and that speedily to remedy the grievance. The Parlia mentary Voters (Ireland) Bill was accordingly brought in and carried through the Commons by decisive majorities. The main principle of this much re quired and salutary, although inadequate, measure was to bestow the county franchise on the occupiers of land rated to the poor-rate at a net annual value of 81. or upwards. That this was no wild or revolu tionary proposition, something approximating to uni versal suffrage, may be gathered from this fact, that, if conceded to the fullest extent, it would not give more than 264,000 county voters out of the nearly 7,000,000 of inhabitants, or ]5 per cent. of the adult male population, while 29 per cent. of the adult males are thus privileged in this more favoured country. That was not so great a boon, but it was objected to, and on the motion of the Earl of DESART 151. was substituted for 81., the amendment being carried against Ministers by a majority of 22. One of the most important and urgently required measure of the session has thus been neutralized by their Lordships. It, however, remains to be seen whether the Commons will remain firm, and stedfastly refuse to yield to the alteration that has been made. Fortunately for the credit of the Government and of the Legislature, not to speak of the national pocket, the amendment proposed last evening by the Hon. Baronet the Member for the University of Oxford in reference to the Bill for theerection of a temporary bridge at Westminster, was carried by a sweeping majority of 123 out of a House of 153, merely 15 being opposed to and 138 in favour of Sir ROBERT HARRY INGLIS'S amendment. That amend ment was simply to the effect that the measure in stead of being read a second time should be for mally referred to the consideration of a Select Committee. We have no very prodigious af fection, we must admit, in the abstract for Select Committees. Indeed we rather look upon them as Parliamentary valves for the superfluous ex penditure of public' time, or as systematic excuses for supplementary procrastination. To our thinking there was something wise as well as witty in the re mark made the other day by pocr Sir ROBERT PEEL, when it was proposed to pursue a similar course in regard to the Metropolitan Burial Bill—that tl e reference of the matter to a Select Committee would be the most extraordinary instance upon record cf extramural interment ! Nevertheless, nuisances LONDON, though they are, these Select Committees are, at times, necessary nuisances : without saying it simply for the sake of the pun, we may, with perfect truth, remark, that by resorting to this method of com mitting obnoxious measures, our legislators are fre quently spared the necessity of most egregiously committing themselves. Precisely such has been the case in the present instance. By adopting the amendment of Sir R. H. INGLIS, the House of Com mons was saved the disgrace of thoughtlessly squan dering a large amount of public money upon a most extravagant undertaking. For it can scarcely be forgotten by the majority of our readers (after our very detailed exposure of the evils certain to re sult from this preposterous scheme) how mistaken and ruinous would be the consequences likely to result from the plan submitted to the acceptance of Parliament. Looking at the hideous and dilapidated bridge now spanning the Thames between Lambeth and Westminster, it is really melancholy to reflect upon the fact that no less than 70,0001. sterling have been squandered upon it in the mere labour of reparation : 70,0001., and the structure is still not only a grievous eyesore in the very heart of our me• tropolis, but is likewise in a condition that threatens to be most dangerous as a line of traffic and inter communication. Knowing this notorious circum stance, knowing that so many thousands have been ineffectually wasted in patching up an uncomely pile of masonry built up upon rotten foundations, it is indeed marvellous to find a proposition seriously submitted to the Legislature for the erection of a temporary bridge, costing altogether an enormous sum, considering that it is simply tempo rary—and that with a view to the careful recon struction of another and a permanent bridge upon the site which has so long proved unsafe and ricketty. The scheme altogether is without even that specious reason about it which somewhat relieves of its absur dity the recommendation of the lubber in a sea fight to thrust his head through the hole made by the first shot, under the con viction that there are a million chances to one that a second will not pass through the same ori fice. It seems really as though the rottenness of the bed of the river at this particular spot had endeared the present site of Westminster-bridge to some of the Members cf the Legislature, or :as if the prospect of continuing the old disbursements in the way of repair was one of altogether irresistible fascination. Cer tainly from our past experience of the foundations, and their propensity to drop down lower and lower when least expected, the funds appro priated to the carrying out of the exist ing plans in this instance might be very appropriately termed the Sinking Fands. Thanks to Sir R. 11. INGLIS, however, there is yet another op portunity afforded for the redemption of the public from this deplorably voracious dilemma. The Bill as at present constructed is about to pass under the scrutiny cf a very deliberate Committee. Before the matter has passed through that Committee, we are in hopes that it will be so carefully emended as to baffle the recognition even of its originators. Oar hopes in this regard are authorised by our sense of the force of one or two very imperative and undeniable considerations. We cannot imagine to ourselves, for instance, the possibility of the Committee sanction ing the selection of the present site for a bridge at Westminster, so soon as they begin to estimate the enormity of the sums of money lavished already in the way of repairs, the too immediate proximity of the existing structure to the new Houses of Par liament, and a variety of other equally per suasive reflections. Instead of recommending the ridiculous proposition, to which the Commons yesterday refused the privilege of a second reading, we are sanguine that the Select Committee may sug gest in their report the substitution of the present structure in lieu of a new wooden one fur a temporary line of communication (thereby saving, as it were by a stroke of the pen, a useless expenditure of 100,0001), and the selection of a new site in lieu of the old one (thereby setting off to the best advantage the gorgeous palace of the Legislature, and securing to the bridge between Lambeth and IVetminster a safe and solid foundation). By acting in this manner the Committee will economize the public money, will secure in the readiest way the uninterrupted flow of traffic, will aid the genius of Mr. BARRT in displaying his archi tectural masterpiece, and will prevent the recurrence of a lamentable and expensive series of catastrophes. On Thursday next, namely, the day after to morrow, the unfortunate Metropolitan Interments Bill will be brought under Committee in the Lords, having been already hurried sub silentio through the first and second readings. ITAiless some energetic member of that august assemblage venture, then, upon some bold and resolute opposition, we see no thing before us but the final stages required to trans form the measure into a veritable enactment. 'With out the realisation of that last opportunity, we shall see this miserable Bill rendered the law of the land by quietly passing the third reading in the Lords, and in due course of time receiving the Royal assent. Oae or two glaring anomalies we would here briefly point out before the measure be brought into Com mittee. For example, it appears that instead of se lecting lands of a moderate cost, the highest priced lands, such as the land at Erith, are chosen for the formation of the first cemetery. Let it be borne in mind that the Government (without purchase) are already in possession of lands precisely suited for the purpose of interment, and that the se lection of such lands would prevent the necessity Of further exorbitant ta':ation, besides rendering the charges for burial more reasonable—and the extrava gance of this arrangement becomes manifest. How moderate the charges of interment may be made with due economy is seen in the fact that the poor can be buried for one shilling and sixpence a head, and the rich for one pound two shillings and sixpence, in ce meteries at this moment existing, and—fortunately for them—not under the direction of Government !

THE POST AND THE PEOPLE.- correspon dent informs us of a working man who, on Monday, received a letter from Berwick, stating that his mother had died on the preceding Friday, and requesting his attendance on Sunday or Monday morning; the letter was not posted in time for Saturday's mail, and there being no Sunday conveyance of letters, it came too late to be of service; the bereaved son reached Barwick after his mother's funeral was over. CHOLER k (IRELAND).—From a return just pre sented to the House of Commons, it appears that the total number of persons attacked with cholera in Ireland, an d re hewed, medically or otherwise, by boards of guardians, from September 1848, to March 25, 185 1 , was 55,141.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK The sales of Cotton, at Liverpool, yesterday, were es timated at 10,000 bales, of which 500 American were taken for export, and 2,500 American and 1,200 Surat on speculation. Tho market closed very flrinly at per lb. advance for American and Surat.—Railway Shares were dal!, and prices had a downward tendency. The accounts from abroad describe the money markets es being generally easy. The Banker's Magazine for July, states:— Money continues plentiful; and the rate of discount far first-class bills at about three months may be called at from 2 to 21 per cent. pet annum; and there is some difficulty in tiding a sufficiency of such paper. The allowance by the brokers "on call" is from lf-1 to 2 per per cent. We believe that the market may be described es in a healthy condition. There is very little, if any, undue speculation in commodities. The dealings in coffee have nearly cemed so fir as extensive speculations are concerned; end it is to be apprehended that the cases are few where the result has been satisfactory. " We are gratified to learn from Germany that the proposals made by the Prussian Government, fir in creasing the differential duties of the Zallvemia against British manulacturial goods, is likely to be defeated. A very vigorous opposition has sprung up in nearly all the provinces of the kingdom; and the remonstrances for warded to Berlin are of the most decided character." The indigo buyers are anxious for a❑ alteration in the plan of " taring" the article. They whb, after it has bean in the warehouses a certain time, that it should be re-tared, as the original taro marked on the chests is often found to be incorrect, owing to the samples taken out and the repacking. A meeting i.f the Birmingham and Oxford Junction Railway Company having been convened fur the Gth July, to take into consideration " A Bill to authorise a sale to the Birmingham and Oxford Junction Railway Company of tae Stratford-upon-Avon Canal Naviga tion," inquiry las been made upon the subject, to which the following reply (dated 27th ult.) from the secretary has been received:— " In reply to your letter of inquiry, I be; to inform you ttn,', the Bill of this session to authorise the sale of the StratEsrd Canal to this company is promoted by the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway Coni pussy, under an agreement between the companies. It will not interfere with the agreement between this com pany and the Great Western Company, as it is therein provided fur; and the Great Western Company hPve to provide any additional capital that may be required by this coup oy-." - The following are extracts of a letter from the secre tary of the Tours and Nantes Railway:— " Out of the capital called up, 131. on 80,000 shares, the disbursements have been:— For establishment of OA lino from Tours to Angers ••• .. £564,000 For materials, and rolling stock provided, in readiness fur th sectiJn from Angers to Nantes ••• ..• ••• ••• ... 102,000 For workshop material: , , tools, implement 4, &c., for the service of the entire liue ... 212,000 For interest paid shareholders ... 68,000 For miscellaneous ... 65,200 For caution m:moy, in the .• handi of Gc- le:nuient, •.. ... 12.000 1";;.; cash-balance in hand and sundry debtors 16,800 £1,010,000 It will ba particularly observed that the large sum of 102,0001. has been already expendcd for stock, in antici p•ation of the del:vtry by the Government of the whole line to Ne„nte9, which tranefer should have taken place, according to our stAtutei, on the 27th of Novemhcr last. This delay, so prejudical to the interests of the com pany, has justly entitled them to ea:ni from the Go vernment an indemnity, nod which the dire:A.3l.s are ❑ow pressing upon the serious consideration of the Govern ment. "It cannot escap' observation that, if the proportion cf the receipts from the passenger traffic continued to be sustained throughout the last four months of our year, Jane to September (and they are generally the best months), this portion of our revenue for the cur rent year will approach, if not exceed, 40,0001. So far, then, this traffic exhibits an excess above the amount estienated at the period of the concession (34,0004 being about 20 prr cent., and this, too, for the first year's operations. With respect to the goods traffic, it is im possible at all to appreciate its value until the line shall have reached .Nautes, for the very simple reason (scarcely necessary to mention) that when once the goods have taken the river at 'Nantes, the heavy ex penses attending their unloading and reloading must pre vent their coming en to the line at Angers. To conclude, I have the pleasure of announcing that negotiations have linen re-opened with the Government for a revision of cur love, and with the prospect of favourable terms being conceded to the company."

It is with much regret we announce that Sir Ro bert Peel is still in considerable danger. The bulletin issued at 10 o'clock last night was less satisfactory than any previous one, and Sir Benjamin Brodie, who continues in attendance, with Dr. Seymour and Mr. Caesar Hawkins, had not left Whitehall-gardens at midnight. The anxiety to ascertain the condition of the Right Hon. Baronet was painfully manifested throughout the whole of yesterday. The nobility and gentry began to make inquiries at 9 o'clock, and up to 11 o'clock last evening applicationscontinued to be made. From midday until dusk there was a continued stream of carriages passing through the court-yard. The•sympathy exhibited was not, however, confined to the higher classes, for without the court-yard gates a crowd was collected, who eagerly sought to ascer tain the latest intelligence from those who had in spected the bulletin. The Duke of Wellington sent a special messenger from Apsley House at half-past 6 o'clock yesterday morning, t 3 ascertain whether Sir Robert had passed a good night. The Queen and the Prince, and the Prince of Prussia, sent messengers at 8 o'clock, and within half-an-hour the following bulletin, under the hand of Sir Benjamin Brodie, was issued:-- " Sir Robert Peel has had a good night, and is, on the whole, better than yesterday. " July 1, 1850, l►alt-pest 8, A.m." The Duchess of Kent and the Duchess of Glouces ter sent to make inquiries during the morning. The Duke and Duchess of C;mhridge sent at 10 o'cloaa ; and at noon his 'Loyal Highness Prince George called personally. Repaules© Princes sent a special messenger during the mqrning. At 4 o'clock a second bulletin was issued, which ran ss follows : " Sir Robert Peel is still suffering a good deal from pain in the side and shoulder; but he is in no re.;peet worse than he was in the morning. " July 1, 1850, 4, P.M." A consultation was held at 7 o'clock, but no bul letin was iistnd. At 10 o'clock another consultation took place. The following bulletin, we regret to add, was the result : " Since 7 o'clock Sir Robert Peel has been very rest end his condition is less sztisfactory than it was in the early "mat of the day. " July 1. 1350, 10, P.M." The medical men remained in consultation when our informant left Whitehall-gardens at midnight. The Queen and the Prince and the Prince of Prussia sent to make inquiries et ten o'clock last night, and the Duke of Wellington about the same time. Lady Peel and all the members of the family re main in constant attendance. HALF-PAST Fourt A.M.—We lament to state that Sir Robert Peel continues in a most precarious state. Sir Benjamin Brodie end the other medical attendants remained with the Right Hon. Baronet throughout the night, and have not yet left Whitehall-gardens. We are informed that Sir Robert's sufferings have much increased, and we fear that, should a favourable change not speedily take place, his condition must be regarded as one of great danger. TII Ei STATE OF SIR ROBERT PEEL'S HE ALTH.—(THIS DAY.) On making inquiry thi - A morning at residence of Sir Robert Peel, in Whitehall-gardens, we find that the symptoms in the Right Hon. Baronet, which had caused so much anxiety to his relations and medical advisers during the whole of yesterday even ing and up to midnight, had assumed a milder form towards this morning, and that there was now much less cause for alarm, though the Right Hon. Baronet cannot be said to be out of danger. It appears that early this morning ha had some refreshing slumber, which bad resulted in some slight change in his con dition for the better. The following bulletin was issued this morning : "Af:er saran o'clock yesterday evening Sir Robert Peal's symptoms were considerably aggravated, so as to cause much anxiety respecting him. Early in the morn ing he had some refreshing sle?p, and at the present time the alarming symptoms are somewhat abated. "July 2, 1850, hair-past eight, A mi." SUN OFFICE, Thro, o'clock. We have made inquiries at Sir Robert Peel's residence immediately before going to press this afternoon, and are happy to learn that the Right Honourable Baronet is suffering less pain, and that the change for the better which was apparent in his symptoms at half-past eight this morning still continues. The following bulletin has just been issued : " Sir Robert reel expresses himself as suffering /e%s pain, and in other respects is quite as well as he was in the morning. Half-past 1 o'clock P. 31 , July 2d." Crowds of persons continue to wait in the vicinity of the illustrious invalid's residence, anxious to learn the least information as to his condition, whilst the carriages of the nobility keep pouring up to the door with the same end. So great and continous is the crowd which assembles at the entrance of the Right Hon. Baronet's residence that policemen have been stationed there to maintain order. tra•cl 4.trr.C.i.,c 4 vaQ k NEWMARKET RACES. (THIS DAY.) (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) Handicap.

FATAL ACCIDENT IN THE CHATHAM DOCKYARD. —On Saturday last, about 11 A.M., a melancholy accident occurred in the third dock, in which the Nankin, 50-gun frigate, is fitting. Mr. James Barnard, of Rochester, had gone on beard the ship, and, after remaining there same little time, was about leaving it by the porthole used by the shipwrights as a gangway, when he fell headlong into the dock, a depth of about 30 feet. Assistance was rendered immediately, and he was removed to Melville Hospital, at tended by the deputy-inspector, Dr. Drummond, and other medical officers of the hospital, but death put an end to his sufferings in about two hours afterwards. From a pest inortena examination it was found that the skull had baen fractured and both legs broken. THE TE.A.

The July Sessions fir the county of Middlesex opened this mornin , r, at the Sessions-house, Clerkenwell-green. Henry Allen, a little boy, who bas been convicted se vered times, pleaded guilty to stealing a handkerchief. The JUDGE, in passing sentence, said this was one of the pupils of the Summary Jurisdiction Bill. A father brings up his children to steal, because he knows that should they get convicted all his responsibility over them ceases for ever. This state of things would be averted if the Legislature would compel him to pay s. 6d. or 33. a week for the child's maintenance while in prison. He should pass what would seem a severe sentence, so that he might be sent to Parkhurst and leant. a trade. The sentence of the Court 'was that he imprisoned and kept to hard labour in the Coldbath fields House of Correction for two years. MARLBRO'-STREET.-(THIS DAY. BOBBING A BENEFIT SOCIETY. —Patrick MUllinS was brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with stealing the sum of 20/. belonging to the members of the Royal Friendly Society of United Labourers, hold at the Royal Tent public .house, Silver-street, Golden-square. Patrick Corcoran stated that he was ono of the true tees of the society, and resided at No. 3, North-place, Portman-market. On the 11th of last month the trus tees received from the Provident Institution, Sr. Mar tin's-lane, the sum of 251., which sum they delivered into the treasurer's hands oh the 15th, at the club-room. Mullins, who was the treasurer, put the money into a leather purse in the presence of witness and the other trustees, and the purse was carefully locked up in the cash box. On the 20th of June the box was handed over to the landlord. Last night, when the club met, witness was told that the money, with the exception of 51., was missing, and as the prisoner was suspected to have stolen it, witness went for an officer and the prisoner was given into cus tody. No portion of the money had been found. James Ker, landlord of the Royal Tent, 5, Silver street, said the society was held at nis house. On the 24th of June Est witness received the club box from his wife, and placed it in his bar parlour. The keys of the box were kept by the society. The prisoner denied all knowledge of the robbery. This box had three keys, one of which was kept by him and the other two by the trustees. He was positive the money was safe when he gave the box to Mrs. Ker, on the 20th. A witness Iproved seeing the prisoner take out the notes on the night of the 20th of June, and put them in his pocket. Witru,ss did not take any notice of this as the prisoner, in his capacity of treasurer, had the paying of the sick members. When witness heard that the money was missing. he informed the members of the club of what he had seen. The prisoner said he could explain this, he had occa sion; to take out of the box two sovereigns to give to some sick members, and as the notes were in the way he removed them, and held there in his hand until he had put the remainder of the gold away, when be placed the two 101. notes in a s,paratt. purse, and lockd the box in the presence of the trustee-. BINGIXAM said the circumstances 01 the robbery were very suspicious, but as there was not tuttLient evi. dente to warrant a further remand, he mould discharge him. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took tho Chair shortly after Twelve o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following Bills wore read a third time, and passed : Cathrow's Estate. Glasgow Markets and Slaughter-houses. Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway. RIVER LEA TRUST BILL. This Blil, as amended, was considered and agreed to. Mr. WILSON PATTEN moved, that lit should to re ferred to the Examiners of Petitions for Private Bills, to incisire whether the amendments involve any infrac- tion of the standing orders of the House ; that they should have leave to sit and proceed forthwith. Agreed to. Ashby's Divorce Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be commtted.—Agreed to. Mr. LACY moved, that it be an instruction to the Committee of Selection, that they have power to fix the first sitting of the Committee on the Saint An drew's and Quebec Railroad Bill, for the 10th day of this instant July, notwithstanding fourteen clear days will not have elapsed betwe - in the second readings of such Bills and thetmeeting of the Committees thereon. Agreed to. PETITIONS. Mr. FREWEN presented a petition from a place in Sussex against the admission of Jews into Parliament. Several petitions to the same effect were presented from other pi!lees. Sir G. GREY presented a petition, from Torquay against the recent postal arrangement. — Lord NAAS presented a petition from a place in Ireland against the bonding system, respecting Irish spirits. Mr. COWAN presented a petition from the Edin burgh and Glasgow Ri,ilway Company against the Rail way Audit LANDLORD AND TENANT BILL Mr. PUSSY moved the third reading of this Bill, and seated that he proposed to extend its operation to Ireland. He trusted he would receive the support of Irish Members, for if the Bill did not answer the ex pectations of its promoters, it could do no harm. Colonel SIBTHORP movel that it be read a third time that day six months. He believed that the Bill would give rise not only to great difficulties, but to end less litigation, and would, besides, unsettle all those ex cellent arrangements which had hitherto existed between landlords and tenants, and conduced to the interest of both. Sir JOHN Y. BULLER objected to the Bill being extended to Ireland, on the ground that if it did not effect much good it could do no harm. It was their business, before they passed any measure, to ascertain that it would not be altogether a nullity in regard to its operation. The Bill, he thought, was full of objections, the chief being that it would open the door to coma:lit and continued litigation. There were so many difficulties in the way of carrying out such a measure as this that he hoped it would not be further persevered in. Mr. SIIARMAN CRAWFORD said he should raise the question that the Bill be not extended to Ireland after tha House had disposed of the third reading. Mr. PUSEY said there would he no difficulty in putting the Bill into operation, and as it would confer great benefit upon the country he trusted the House would allow it to pass into a law. There was nothing theoretical in the Bill; on the contrary, the system which it legalised had been in farce for years. Mr. CHRISTOPHER should not have risen had it not been for the latter statement of the last speaker. He denied that the system propounded by this Bill was already in force, certainly it was not in Lincolnshire, the county with which he was connected. No doubt the customs of landlords in that county were exceedingly liberal, but that arose from no compulsory cause, but rather from the good understanding which fortunately existed there bstween landlord and tenant. Mr. 111‘CULLAGII could not vote for the third read ing, because the Bill embraced Ireland. Sir GEORGE STRICKLAND considered this Bill most objectionable; it was, in fact, an attempt to interfere with the rights of private property. Now the House never sanctioned such an interference unless it were for the public good, such as in the case of a railroad. There was, however, no public necessity for the interference proposed by the Bill, and he should cer tainly vote for the amendment, being firmly convinced that if the Bill passed into a law, instead of benefiting the tenant, it would give rise to everlasting disputes be tween landlords and tenants. The Hun. Member for Berkshire, who bad charge of the Bill, ought to be the last man to talk about teaching landlords how to manage their estates, for if the fines' Commissioner was to be relied on, the Hon. Member's farm was badly managed end over-stocked with lean sheep.—(Laughter.) Mr. PUSEY claimed the right of reply on the ground that if his character as a politician had not been attacked at least his character as a tradesman had.—(No, no.) He denied the statement cf the Hon. Baronet who had just sat down. Mr. HENLEY thought, too, that the Hon. Member's character as a farmer had been attacked, but the Hon. Baronet who made the attack forgot to mention that the observations of the Times' Commissioner only applied to the lion. Member's water meadows. The writer eulo gised the general management of the Hon. Member's farm, but found fault with his practice of feeding lean sheep on water meadows.—(A laugh.) The House then divided, when there appeared — For the amendment •• • —• 17 Against it ... ••• ••• Majority ag a i nst i t 53 On ent‘.ring the gallery we found Mr. MULLINGS moving the following clause:— " And with a view of preventing or lessening the evils of the right to etnbletnents, as well as the loss and injury to tenants holding under landlords having limited interests, be it enacted, that where the lease or tenancy of a farm held by a tenant at rack rent shall determine by the death or cesser of the estate of any landlord entitled fur hit life, or for any other limited in terest, the tenant shall continue to hold end occupy the farm until the expiration of the then current year, and shall then quit upon the terms of his lease or holding, in the same manner as if such lease or tenancy were then determined by effluxion of time or other lawful means during the continuance of his landlord's estate, and the succeeding landlord shall be eutitled,to recover and re ceive of the tenant, in the same manner as his predeces sor could have done if living, a fair proportion of the rent for the period which may have elapsed from the day of the death or cesser of the estate of such predecessor to the time of the tenant so quitting, and the suc ceeding landlord and the tenant respectively shall, as between themselves against each other, be entitled to all the benefits and advantages arid b > sii , ject to the restrictions to which the pz - ecudi , :g L11(11017:I and such tenant respectively would have hecli entitled and sul ject, in case the lease or tenancy hail determined in manner aforesaid at the expiration of such current year." Mr. PUSEY intimated that he should not oppose th° clause. The clause was then agreed to. Mr. MULLINGS then moved a clause to the effect" That in case the growing crops of the tenant of 051 arta shall he seized and sold by any sheriff or other office r ' by lirtue of any writ of Seri facias, or other writ of 0%" ecl:tion, such crops shall, so long as th e same 5h 2111,, „ remain upon the farm, be liable to the rent which Is% accrue and become due to the landl or d a ft er an y mg" :azure and sale, and to the remedies by distreig and otherwise for recovery of such rent, and that fl withstanding any bargain and sale or assignment will° 'nay have been made or executed of such crops by ad such shot iff or other officer." The clause was s.greed to w' thout a division. Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD then moved that 0 1 Bill should not extend to Ireland. The Hon. Gentle' men entered at some length into the history of th l , Legislative e n ac t men t s f o r t h e l an dl or d an d te nd question in Ireland. Ho contended that though the pre, sent Bill might b e su it a bl e t o E ng l an d i t was i n no 10 suitable fit Ireland. He called upon the House to rE member the great difference of the relation betwee ° landlord and tenant in England end Ireland. Ho ob' jected, in the present state of the feelings of the Irish people, to accept thi s i m p er f ec t l eg i s l at i on; h e t h ou ght it would be unjust to rapport their h a lf- measure at a till , when Ireland expected some full and perfect measure. Mr. M'CULLAGH seconded the amendment. , Mr. HENRY HERBERT o pp ose d t h e aracndmefl' He was certainly astonished at the course whir the Honourable Seconder of the amendment bl taken upon the present occasion. L as t year b e hid voted for the third reading of the Bill of that sessiel which was exactly the same Bill as the present Bill, a°,. ° now ho opposed the Bill. Th e H on . M over o f 11 amendment, too, l as t y ear su pp orte d t h e extens i o n the Bill to Ireland, and now he opposed He could not understand the change of condub in these two gentlemen. He condemned t, 116 egitation which had been r a i se d by t h e Hon. Member for Rochdale upon this questio n , an d h e thought tit those gentlemen who made such d eman d s for thr tenants of Ireland were not their b es t 1607 He did not look upon this Bill as a final settlement of tt landlord and tenant question in Ireland, and he must r permitted to express his regret that Government bl i j i thrown over for this session, at least, the 13. 1 of the Right Honourable Secretary for Irelal If ever ther e was u t i me w h en such a ought to be persevered in the present was that time, ufl after the hopes that were held out to Irelar in the Speech from the Throne, it was high; impolitic to withdraw the Bill to which he h,,, just referr e d. Th e l an dl or d s of Ireland cog; to take this opportunity of coming forty; with concessions, and bring this question to speedy s e ! Element. In the meantime he called upon the gotv to pass this Bill in its integrity and reject the a mend' ment of the Hon. Gentleman the Member for R o ohdal b . Mr. M'CULLAGH said circumstances had chatte l: since this measure was before the House last, session. was now too late to put this Bill off as a settlement of tn, vexed question, and he, therefore, bl ame d Governrov, ter neglect in the past few months. P i e . ; ought to have passed a Bill on wo subject long ago, but the fact could ~1 11 1 be disguised that the landlord interest predominatea 4 that House. That feeling had already ga i ne d a a les' hold of the tenants of Ireland, and whatever tatd o might be thrown out against him of fostering discool in Ireland, he would still persist in declaring that occupier of land in Ireland had not been fit,! ~0 dealt with either by the Government or t h e House. .11 people of Ireland were irritated at th e neg l ect o f th; interest by the House, and he warned the Governe o , that continued delay would drive them to extremes. k b '' year this Bill might have served to allay r I feeling of excitement that the n p reva il e d, Sr , that was one reason why he supported it th en; b u t W the people of Ireland would only be satisfied wi,,,. 111 , large, liberal, and comprehensive measure . The JOA; Gentleman who last addressed them said be not look upon this Bill as a settlement i : the question, so far as it r e l ate d to land. Then why support it i n th e Jr L. of the fact that it would have no other effect but to ; crease the irritation that exists in I re l an d. F ar be' would it be to discard this Bill altogether, and dirr l their attention to something that would put the met at rest for ever. Mr. A. STAFFORD could not help thinking that tt conduct of the Hon. Gentleman who had just sat M r in the reference to this Bill, was eccentric if not itic°, sistent. The reasons which he had st a t e d for oppo the Bill were just those which ought to induce hid support it. The Honourable Gentleman sa id the cl a, ,` tion had been so long delayed that h e d espa i r ed ever seeing it settled. Why, that was the very re tl , s , why he ought t o su pp o rt th e Bill, f or i t would be "f step towards ascertaining whether it could be adjes i or not. True, the Bill did not confer upon the tens°, , of Ireland all that they were entitled to, but t. was no reason talay they should refuse to take Sc part of what was due to them. Instead, therefore.! injuring the tenant, he felt that in supporting the he wzs doing him a benefit, and ho should resist amendment. Sir G. GREY, in a few words, stated the gr' - 4 which would induce him to support the Bill as it sit The circumstances which rendered the Bill n eeefoj in this country also existed in Ireland, and hon they might differ as to what would be '1 operation of the measure, at least there could bead harm in extendin g it t o I reland. Their dote so would not at all interfere with any fug legislation on the subject of tenant-right in Ireland, 0 1 he therefore hoped the House would negative the amv mi-nt. The House then divided, when there appeared— For the amendment ... 14 Against it 64 Majority ... ... —5 O The Bill was then read a third time and passed. The House then adjourned until Five o'clock.
