Therefore nothing, Gould be more natural than that a desire should be entertained for a re-adjustment of the arrangement made so far back as the year 1840. (Hear.) There is nothing unreasonable I think in the people of Canada desiring that some particular denomination should have a share of the fund more in accordance with its num bers. I instance the Presbyterians in connection with the Church of Scotland, who, I believe, have lost more than one-half of their adherents since 1840. Soon after that year, the schism took place in that Church and extended„ however unaccountably, to our North American colonies, and I find that the Free Church of Scotland has now more followers than the body in con nection with the national Church of Scotland. It is very natural too, as we think, that other bodies, the Wesleyan for instance, with 100,000 persons belonging to their com munion, should desire to participate to a greater extent than they now appear to do in the advantages of this fund. There has also been a desire expressed for the secularisa tion of these reserves ' • but it does not matter what is the view entertained—be the force or form of public opinion in that country what it may—there are not any means of giving a legal and constitutional expression t 3 their senti ments—there is an insuperable obstacle in the way. That obstacle is the act of 1840, and the object of this bill will be to remove that bar. Now, lam anxious, sir, to explain precisely the object of this bill. We do not intend by it in any way to alter the present condition of things. We leave the different denominations in that colony, not certainly upon the same footing as that on which they have hitherto stood, but ,in the same relation which they have hitherto borne to each other. .All that we propose to do is to vest in the Legislature of Canada the power, if they think fit to exercise it, of altering that arrangement. I think it preci pitate to anticipate that these clergy reserves will, in con sequence of this concession, be of necessity alienated from religious purposes, and secularised by the Legislature of Ca nada. There are in that colony people who think, as I do, that in a new country, perhaps even more than in an old one, it is of the greatest importance to have a public pro vision applicable to the payment of stipends to ministers of religion. It is only when you have a provision of that kind that you can secure the presence of clergymen and the mi nistrations of public worship in every community, how ever poor, however remote they may be from the seat of Government. And, sir, we ought not to forget that the : clergy and the laity of the Church of England, and the other denominations in that colony who are interested in the maintenance of this fund as applicable to religious purposes, constitute by no means an inconsiderable mino rity in that country. There is a very just remark made by. Lord Elgin, in one of his dispatches, where he says that there is this evil attendant on the present arrange ment, that "those in communion with the churches pecu liarly benefited by this fund, instead of trying to influence the public mind of the colony, are continually looking to the opinion of the mother country, and content to take shelter under the shadow of an act of Parliament, while, if left to themselves, there may be very good ground to an ticipate that they will be able to make their opinions shared in by others." Why, I see it stated that, at the last general election in the colony, in the mouth of Decem ber, 1851, they put forth their strength, and succeeded in carrying no less than nine elections, displacing from the Legislature some of those who took a most prominent and active part in advocating the secularisation of these re serves ; and, therefore, I am not altogether without hope that the party which is at present interested in the exist ing apprepriation of this fund may possibly be able to bend the Colonial Legislature into taking that direction which they consider that the well-being of the country requires. But, be that as it may, I contend that the subject is solely and exclusively ono for the consideration of the Colonial Legislature. (Cheers.) It is not an imperial, but a local concern. That i€ the ground that we occupy in bringing forward and advocating the adoption of this bill. We say that in bringing it forward we are carrying out the principle which has guided our policy towards that coun try of late years. It is a liberal, but, at the same time, as I believe, a just and well-founded, confidence in the good sense and the loyalty of the inhabitants of that coun try, which has prompted us to extend to them an almost unlimited measure of power of self-government. They have now a Legislature, the popular branch of which is freely chosen by themselves upon any - electoral basis they may choose. They vote their own civil list ; they have executive control over the land fund, and the disposition of its proceeds. Even within late years we have made other great concessions in the same direction—we have surrendered to the colony the management of the customs department—we have discontinued imperial duties, and since the repeal of the navigation laws we have removed every restriction upon their trade with ourselves, our other colonies, and with foreign countries. We have gone even a step further, and given them what they consider a re spoasible Government. Until the other day, their execu tive was nominated by ourselves, and the principles of its policy were the principles of the Administration at home ; but now they have an executive whose policy follows the policy favoured by the majority in the House of Assembly. Well, then, I cannot see why you should make any distinc tion with regard to this particular description of property ; nor why you should not place at their disposal this portion of the public lands of the province. I see in a pamphlet of Archdeacon Bethune that in respect to the claim of the Co lonial Legislature i to have the disposition of their lands, he states that these lands were bought with the money of the British Treasury, and that we still pay salaries and pensions to the Indians for having taken their land from them." He refers, I suppose, to the 13,0001. which is paid every year in pensions to the Indians ; but then that is paid, not in respect of land taken from those Indians, but in respect of services rendered to us by them in war. Now if that be the Legislature, and this the executive—if that Legisla ture represents so large a population,-and has such impor tanthanoqse and varied functions vested in it, I am sure that this representations.will be do se d pay r great ) attention iowio w t o standsits wishes question in this point of view? I need not go to an earlier period than the month of June, 1850. At that time the House of Assembly passed several resolutions, and an ad dress to her Majesty, praying that the power which we now propose to confer on them might bo granted. Lord Grey, who was then Minister for the Colonies, told them in a dispatch in the month of January, 1851, in answer to that address and those resolutions, that he regretted that the agitation had been revived on this question—that he had hoped that the act of 1840 had permanently disposed of it ; but as it was the wish of the Le,gislature of Upper Canada to deal with this question, that he, regarding it entirely as one of local concern, was prepared to recom mend the introduction into the Imperial Parliament of the requisite measure. When that dispatch was received in Canada. I find that both houses, not only the House of hAr ti e v arj e esmi C i s e well, p uth a i s n s c e a d tthi a o : n ldr sath e m s e se ye s hya o c i ari t .e h ce a L nk iovre s dd to afrr h oem e y r Assembly which had voted the address, but the Legisla yoniunfsoctri l e r t . ha announced to Lord Elgin that, in consequence of the extreme pressure of business in that ses sion (1851), he had found it impossible Ito introduce the measure ; but he undertook to bring it forward early in the session of 1852. I need not say that we had not far gone in that session when Lord Grey and his colleagues retired from office, Lord Grey was suceeeded in the colonial department by the right honour able gentleman whom I see opposite (Sir J. Pakington). That right honourable gentleman, I have no doubt, gave all the consideration to this subject which its importance de manded of him ; but he came to the conclusion that he could not advise the introduction of the measure which Lord Grey had undertaken to bring in in the course of that ses sion. I now come to the resolutions which were passed by the Legislature of Canada so late as the month of Novem ber (as we understood) on the receipt of the intelligence sent by the right hon. gentleman opposite. In December, 1851, there was a new Parliament, and the right hon. gentle man stated among other reasonsfor postponing the measure, that since the addresses were passed by the Canadian Legis lature there had been an appeal to the country, and he un derstood that the laity and clergy of the Church of England had succeeded in carrying several of the elections. (Sir J. Pakington was here understood to dissent.) The right hon. gentleman understood that there had been a change in the opinions of the House of Assembly, and he would wait to hear the result of a reference being made to them. He stated in a dispatch of April 22, " I have in the first place taken into consideration the circumstance that since any opinion on this difficult subject was expressed by the Legislature of Canada, 'a general election has taken place in the province, and it is as yet uncertain what the views of the new House of Assembly as to the disposal of the c lerey reserves may be." Now; sir, there ca nnot now be any doubt as to what the views of the present Assembly are. They have passed the resolutio n in stron g terms remonstrat ing against the decision of the Colonial Mini ster ; and the material point to observe is, that this resolution was b roug ht forward upon the motion of Mr. Hincks , the h e ad you have of, th e Government in that country. Therefore. in the year 1850 the House Yy the L • - ,Assembl in 1851 egis dative Council, and in 185.; the Administration of tho on the country all concurring in pressing this motion right hon. gen know that the adoption of Parliament . I tleman has said, "that the divisions which carried the re solutions do not express fairl y the opinion of the country, a Canadi an because you must bear i n mind that this is not . ques ti o n—that the great bu lk of this property is pp er majority of which show a • Canada, and that the divisions, w the Roman thirty or forty on the question, include it seems but fair, in a Catho lic members of Lower Canada ; and exclusively concern art upper question which solely and . from taking pin those province that they should rafram 1 from e rht hon. divisions." Now, I differ here ent I think the Catholic members had a Roman gentleman. just claim to take part in these divisions, because you m ust remember this material point, that there has been no pro position for the secularisa tion of this fund since c the year onsider -1840, or if there has been it has received very in t votes. Now all tha the Ro able support—three or four or , h n t ese resolutions man Catholic members do in suppo ought to be loft to be is to say that they think these fun .. ds as it deems fit, and that dealt with by the local Parliament endowment in - Upper they wish to put the Protestantfooting as their own endow- Canada on precisely the same Now that is all the Roman went in the lower province• sh the house that the ill ovr Catholics seek to do ; and I w tholic clergy . in Lower Canada endowment of the Roman Ca 1 Legislature if it thinks pro may be dealt with by the loco f the caitulation of Quebec the per to do so.

Upon these grounds, upon 'this subject- Cht t e auce this bill. On the part of then, I beg leave to in To imnight in ill any un. the vvesument I digolsom 11.4 WV Canada, it was provided that whenever the Crown disposed of its waste lands, one-seventh in value of the lands which were disposed of should be reserved for the benefit of the Protestant clergy. Now, that _proportion of the value of the waste lands disposed of continued to be reserved for a period of fifty years; but in the year 1840 an act was passed which put an end to any further reser vations of land for that purpose. In the course of years I need not say that a very great quantity of land had been reserved. A great portion of it no doubt had been sold, and at the present time the clergy reserves consist in part of land and in part of money, of investments in the funds of this country and of Canada, which have arisen from the sale and disposition of lands which originally were reserved for this purpose. The manner in which this fund is appropriated is this. Its revenue is applied to the payment of stipends to ministers of different religious de nominations. It is not the case that these denominations participate in that fund in proportion to their relative numbers, or to the strength of each, because it will be found that, notwithstanding the change which took place in the year 1840, the Established Churches of England and of Scotland derived by far the greatest advantage from the existence of this fund. I will read an extract from a de spatch of Lord Elgin, accompanying what is known as a blue book in the year 1851, showing how the clergy reserves were appropriated in that year. I find that in the year 1851 the clergy of the Church of England in the two provinces received a sum of about 12,0001. The population professing that religion amounted altogether to just about a quarter of a million. The Church of Scotland received a sum of 6,5001., having a population of 61,000 souls. . The other Churches which received money from this fund were the United Synod of Pres byterians in Upper Canada, 464/. ; the Roman Catholic Church, 1,369/. ; and the Wesleyan Methodists of Upper Canada, 6391. Now, 'pen what authority is this distri bution made ? It is made on the authOrity of an Act of Parliament passed in the year 1840; and as the circum stances which preceded and led to the passing of that act are considered to exercise a very important bearing on the conclusions which ought to be arrived at in the present day, I will give the house a very short summary of those cir cumstances. The great bulk of the clergy reserves are placed in the province of Upper Canada. In consequence of a term used in the Constitutional Actr of 1791—the term Protestant clergy—the Church of England advanced and succeeded in establishing, dew a to the year 1840, an ex clusive claim to the advantages of this fund. Now the majority. of the population of Upper Canada profess a reli gion which was not the religion of the Church of England; and therefore it is not surprising that the monopoly of that Church gave rise to considerable jealousy and agitation in the Legislature of Upper Canada. And you will find that from the year 1823, or so, when the reserves began to be of value and began to be'sold, down to the year 1840, there were continual proceedings in the House of Assembly and Legislature of Upper Canada ; and you will find motions, addresses, resolutions, and bills passing through the House of Assembly, at one time urging the admission of other denominations into a participation in the advantages of this religious endowment ; at other times proposing that they should be applied to secular purposes. Well, the Le gislative Council of that legislature never concurred in the views of the House of Assembly. The two branches of the legislature were permanently at variance with each other— they could not be brought to acquiesce even in any compro mise of the question ; and in the year 1835 the Legislative Council, despairing of coming to any terms with the House of Assembly, proposed that the whole subject should be referred to this country, and that the Imperial Parliament should put an end to the difference between them. Now it is important to notice the words in which Lord Glenelg, at that time Colonial Minister, answered that application in the year 1835. [The honourable gentleman then pro ceeded to read an extract from Lord Glenelg's dispatch, which appeared among the Parliamentary papers of the year, 1840, No. 205, which (as nearly as we could catch) was as follows :—" The chief practical difficulty is whether his Majesty should be advised to recommend to Parliament the assumption by Parliament itself of the office of deciding on the future appropriation of these lands. There are two distinct reasons, both of which appear to me conclusively to forbid that course of proceeding—first of all, that Par liamentary legislation on any subject of exclusively inter nal concern in any British colony possessed of a represent tive assemby is, as a general rule, unconstitutional:'] The honourable gentleman continued :—Lord Glenelg gave an other reason, which was that the Constitutional Act of 1791 had purposely left this subject to be dealt with by the local legislature of the province. That was the impression which prevailed at that time, and down to the year 1840, and which, as I shall show, turned out to be an erroneous construction of the act of 1791. Well, the legislature of Canada, thus prompted by the Colonial Minister to dis pose of the question, again entered upon its discussion. I find that between the years 1835 and 1839 bills again passed through the House of Assembly to which the Legislative Council refused to assent, but in the year 1839 both houses concurred in a measure investing those lands, free from any conditions, I believe in the Crown, or, at all events, referring this question to be dealt with by the Imperial Parliament. Now, at that time, the noble lord, now the leader of this house, was Colo nial Minister; and this was the language in which he re plied to that proposal. He said (as near as we could follow the reading of the extracts), " I cannot admit that there exists in this country greater facilities than in Upper Ca nada for the adjustment of this controversy. On the con trary, the provincial legislature will bring to the conside ration of it an extent of accurate information, as to the wants and the general opinions of society in that country, in which the Imperial Parliament would be unavoidably deficient." Thus you see that a second time the Colonial Minister refused to advise the British Parliament to deal with this question, and referred it as one proper to be dealt with by the local legislature. Well, upon this second invi tation, I find that the two houses did succeed in agreeing to a measure, and passed—l believe mainly owing to the tact and Parliamentary management of Lord Sydenham, then Governor-General—a bill, which was carried by the Legislative Council by a narrow majority in the House of Assembly ; brit I must say it was a bill giving the Church of England much more favourable terms than could have been expected when you remember the previous acts of the House of Assembly on the subject. That bill came home to this country, and, according to the constitutional provi sion, was laid on the table of this and the other house of Parliament for thirty days prior to her Majesty's pleasure being signified with respect to it. An objection was taken by the Bishop of Exeter that the Legislature of Upper Canada had exceeded its powers in dealing with this ques tion—that the Constitutional Act of 1791 gave it no power at all, except such as was prospective only. That question was referred to the judges, and they reported upon it in these words (as we understood them)—" We are all of opi nion that the effect of the 41st section of the act of 1791 is prospective, and that the powers thereby vested in the Le gislative Council and the House of Assembly and their pro visions cannot extend to the waste lands already appro priated." Nothing, therefore, remained but to introduce a bill into Parliament, embodying the principles and de tails of the bill which had passed through the House of Ausenibly and Legislative Council of Canada, at the invi tation of the Government of this country. That bill was accordingly brought in, but at a period in the history of Canada when it was of the utmost importance that there should be as little division and as great unanimity as possi ble in the Imperial Parliament with regard to all measures passing affecting Canada, and, therefore; before the bill so introduced left this house, in order to conciliate opposition in the House of Lords, it underwent very considerable mo dificaction ; and as it was finally passed it certainly dif fered very materially from that bill to which the Legisla ture of Upper Canada had given its assent, and made a trovision very much more favourable to the Church of P 2, hg.land and of Scotland, than even that Legislature had sanctioned, Well, it was hoped, at that time, that the act of 1840 might be regarded , as having finally disposed of this troublesome question. I myself think it would have been better to have anticipated what has now occurred ; that we might have foreseen that differences of opinion based onprinciple could not possibly be prevented from bursting out merely by being kept down by the weight of an act of Parliament. Nevertheless, no such provision was inserted in the bill ; and I need not say that no colonial Legislature has any power to alter the provision of an act 'of Parliament. Now, just see what is the state of things in C ana d a . Si nce 1840, 12 years have now passed by. Events have been crowded in that period in a new country which might h ave occupied an age in any old one. I find that the popu lation has more than doubled since the year 1840. You find the religious denominations shifting about—now this one getting ahead, now another falling into the rear, just as ei ll i gra tiou )nought au accession to thi4 or that Puti"lgs M A.RYLEBONE. ary Anne Griffin, aged 22, was charged with having murdered her male infant, by cutting its throat. The prisoner, who was evidently in a very weak condition, was allowed to sit during the inquiry. Having lately lost her father, she was attired in black, and when told what the charge against her was, as it appeared on the police-sheet, she burst into tears, and buried her face in her hands. Frances M'Claughrey, on being sworn, said—l am nursemaid • at W. Hart's, Esq., 7, Gloucester-place, Hyde-park-gardens. Prisoner was in the same service, and slept with the cook. On the 27th of January, in the morning, I had been doing needlework with pri soner in her room, and at one o'clock I left her to go down to dinner. I asked her to conie down. She was then in my master's bedroom, and she said she would be down in a minute. She, however, did not make her ap pearance during the meal. When I went up again to her bedroom I saw her standing by the fire, and asked her why she had not come down, to which she replied that she was not well. I left her and went to Mr. Hart's room, and at a later period I went to prisoner again. I asked her how she was, and she said that she should be better soon ; she was then sitting in a chair. I sat beside her, and in a few minutes she got up and went to a Chest of drawers, against which she stood and seemed ready to faint. I led her to the bedside, and heard a noise which seemed to come from the prisoner's box ; it was like a gurgling in the throat of a child. I said to the prisoner, " What's that noise ?" and the answer she made me was, " Oh it's only my inside." She got up from the bed and went into the next room, and I still heard the same noise coming from the box. I went down for the lady's maid, who came up with me directly, and we both went into the priso ner's room. The noise I have spoken of continued, and the lady's maid asked for the key of the box. Prisoner gave it to her, and on her opening it, I saw an infant wrapped up in two petticoats. There were also several towels ; and upon the whole of the articles I have named there was a considerable quantity of blood. The lady's maid asked her what she had been doing, and she told her that she had miscarried. She (the lady's maid) took the child out of the box, when its head fell back, and then I saw that it was bleeding from a wound in the throat. The lady's maid screamed, and instantly the prisoner seized hold of a pair of scissors, with which she attempted to stab herself in the neck. We took the scissors from her, and I went down to my mistress. A. doctor was sent for. On the following Monday the pri soner and the baby were conveyed to the Paddington workhouse. Behind the prisoner's box I found another pair of scissors, upon which were marks of brood. It was stated that the child lived until Thursday last, notwithstanding the serious nature of the wound. The prisoner, who had nothing to say, was remanded. Sir R. INGLIS was, not like his right hon. friend, in clined to wait for future stages of the bill, seeing that the that tctihe re principle ha e d ae a ur lr e e h ad e y fe b re ee t n he cl m ea w rl a y e a e nn ee oun en c a e h d lie . g T t h h e e y knew Can adian Legislature to deal not with a religious principle, but with property, the property of the clergy. The word "clergy" was one of plain signification as regarded the disposal the thatwas house. (A laugh.) The learned S o li c itor-Generall who sluhism " most of ignorant reserves, and Radical and member not b e e misunderstood f b bering on the Treasmy bench, could tell_colleagues that the word meant clergy of the Established Church. (No, no.) Being of /that opinion, and hostile to the alienation of their property, he hoped he should receive general support in opposing the present stage of the bill. Lord J. RUSSELL said that if parliamentary grants were to be irrevocable, then was the act of 1840 an unjusti fiable interference with the act of 1791. But the right hon. gentleman, the member for Droitwich, went further, and had laid down in a dispatch that if the irrevocable act of 1840 was notfound satisfactory, it should be superseded by another irrevocable act in 1853. The question was not one as to whether endowments made by parliament should last for ever, but whether parliament should adopt the rule that all questions of local concern should be left to the local par liament of Canada. (Cheers.) Now, on that question her Majesty's Government had no doubt whatever. (Cheers.) They thought that they ought to allow the Canadian par liament to legislate on'this and every other local subject. (Hear, hear.) For his own part he should be glad if the parliament of Canada were contented with the settlement of 1840, which was considered satisfactory at the time, and which even now he thought might as well be loft undis turbed. The Canadian Parliament might find that in dis turbing the settlement they were opening up new grounds of animosity ; but, however that might be, ha did not think they were justified in opposing the will of the local Parlia ment, who seemed determined to deal with this subject. Look at the history of our legislation in Canadian affairs. He could not think that Parliament made a wise provi sion in 1791 in dividing the two provinces. (Hear, hear.) By that measure the free commerce of the two provinces wa s prevented, and the differences of race, of religion, and of prejudices, engendered such conflicts between the two Parliaments, that Earl Bathurst was obliged to take the re venues of the.colony, and distribute them without reference to other legislation. The union, however, had remedied many of these evils of a former time. Both parties had yielded up obstacles to their mutual prosperity, and since then Canada had made more rapid progress, not only than any of our own colonies, b u t th an any part, of the United. States, They had exerted themselves harmoniously, be cause they felt that they had been dealt with honestly by the Imperial Parliament, and he trusted that the present bill would bo an additional proof to them that such mode of dealing was to be persevered in. (Cheers.) Mr. HUME begged to thank the Government for the course they had taken in reference to this question. They were by this measure about to complete that system of self government which alone could secure permanent peace and tranquillity to Canada, and to insure the continuance of that prosperity which, as the noble lord had truly said, commenced from the hour when responsible government Was first conceded to that important colony. (Hear, hear.) He begged also to thank the hon. gentleman the Under Secretary for the Colonies (Mr. F. Peel) for the candour he had displayed in the very able speech with which he had introduced the motion. (Hear, hoar.) The hon. gentle man might be assured that the sentiments he had expressd in that speech would be received with great satisfaction by the people of Canada, as the enunciation by the minister of the Crown of principles under which alone the colony would continue to prosper, and which he (Mr. Hume) trusted would be speedily extended to all our colonies. (Hear.) He hoped his hon. fri en d th e mem b er f or O x f or d University (Sir R. Inglis) would divide against the motion as he had intimated, in order that the feeling of the house might be at once ascertained on that which was the main principle of the bill—that of allowing the people of Canada to deal as they pleased , with this question of clergy re serves, and with which he for one had no ddubt that when they had the power they would so deal as to produce peace and contentment,to all parties in the colony. The motion was then put and agreed to, Sir R. INGLIR declining to divide, but contenting himself with m ee ti ng the question with a formal "No." Mr. T. DITNCOlVliEsaid that, on the 3d of March, he would call the attention of the house to the grievances of the letter-carriers, and move a resolution to the effect that their complaints of inadequate remuneration merited the serious consideration of the Government. Mr. COLLIER said that on Thursday, the Ist of March, he would move for a select committee to inquire whether the Ecclesiastical 'and Admiralty Courts might not be advantageously abolished, and their jurisdic ' lion in some cases transferred to other tribunals.

Mr. HINDLEY gave notice that on a future day he would ask the Secretary of State for the Home Depart ment whether the Government intended to proceed with the prosecutions which had been commenced against cer tain parties for distributing placards in reference to the Militia Bill. WAR AT MONTENEGRO. Lord D. STUART gate notice of his intention to put a question to the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, in relation to the war at Montenegro. WAR IN BITRMAH. Mr. HUME said he should ask the Government on Thursday, whether they would have any objection to lay on the table all the papers connected with the Bur mese war. SHIPPING RETURNS. On the motion of Mr. INGHAM, a return was or dered of the number and tonnage of ♦essels registered in different ports of the kingdom, on 31st December, 1852 ; also similar returns with regard to the colonies, &c. LAW OF SETTLEMENT. Mr. P. SCROPE wished to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether it was the in tention of the Government to introduce, in the course of the present session, any measure for the alteration or abolition of the Law of Settlement ? Lord PALMERSTON said this question, as his hon. friend was well aware, was one of great difficulty and perplexity, and upon which numerous persons had en tertained very different opinions. It was besides one of great importance, and the attention of the Government would be anxiously directed to it, though at present he could not undertake to say whether any bill would be brought in this Session or not. INCOME TAX. Mr. HUME said some difference of opinion had arisen in the public mind as to the construction which was to be placed upon what fell the other night from the noble lord at the head of the Foreign Department, upon the subject of the income tax, and he wished the noble lord now to state to the house what were the real intentions of the Govern ment upon that point. He wished to know whether they meant to postpone the income tax altogether, or to continue it as it now is without alteration, or, if with alteration, to what extent was it to be continued ? (Hear, bear.) Lord JOHN RUSSELL was very glad to have the opportunity of stating what he really did say. It had been erroneously supposed that be stated that it was the intention of the Government to propose the renewal of the income tax without alterations. What he did say was this, if the Government should introduce a re form bill in the course of the present session, it would be necessary to propose the continuance of the income tax without any alteration for a short period. But, not taking that course, I stated that the Chancellor of the Exchequer would be enabled, immediately after Easter, or at the expiration of the financial year, to state the intentions of the Govern ment with respect to the income] tax, and with respect to the budget of the year. He had only to add that until the Chancellor of the Exchequer made that state ment itwas not the intention of the Government to give any further explanation upon the subject. (Hear, and a laugh.) Mr. HUME gave notice that on Friday he should ask the noble lord whether the Government would have any objection to renew the income tax committee, for the purpose of completing the information upon the subject, which some people thought was imperfect. _ _ TRANSFER OF REAL PROPERTY. - - H. DRUMMOND then rose, pursuant to notice, To move for leave to bring in a bill to facilitate the sale and purchase of land. At present, he said the mode of transferring real property was not only absurd but. cumbersom e and expensive. In dealing with this question the house should look back to the origin of the tenure iof land. (Rear.) Formerly the possession of jand involved the rendering of military service to the Crown, and no one could alienate his lan d . except with the consent of the Crown, or to some personwho was able to render the same m ili tar y service as the original possessor. As time progressed, however, the p?ssessors of land began to borrow, money upon the security of the land, but as it ve r y o ft en h a ppened that the lender, not being in the i position which the Crown required , very often went i n f ear of losing his money, as he coul d not tak e a transfer of the land. But the lawy er s stepped nto overcome this difficulty, and they decided that though the lender could take the land from the borrow er , yet by law he could p revent his having one blade of grass, or grain, or corn, and then arose the custom of what was called takin g the issue erops. This system continued for a time, until the mode of transferring property in executing mortgages sank into its present defective state, and a few years ago, the subject having attracted the attention of Parliament, in accordance with a resolution of the House of Commons, the Crown appointed a Commission to investigate the whole matter. That Commission, as well as the House of Lords, repeated that the best mode of remedying the evils of the existing Us' tern, was to adopt a plan for the registration of title deeds, and what he asked the house to allow him to do was, to let him introduce a bill to form a registra tion of titles in accordance with the resolution of the House of Lords. He believed no body but the lawyers were opposed to the establishment of such a registry, and as it was only a revival of the system which prevailed in many countries centuries ago—while it had been all but ap proved of by both branches of the Legislature, he could hardly suppose that there would be any real oppo sition to the bringing in of this bill. (Hear, hear.) In con s equence of Lord Campbell's Registration Bill Pro vidin g f or the regifstriiii9ll of all kind, of deeds and NEW BILLS. si r J. YOUNG obtained lease, and afterwards laid on the table, a bill to renew the provisions relating to the collection of grand jury cess in Ireland, contained in the expired act of 14 & 15 Vict., e. 65. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL brought in his bill to re gulate the office of examiners in Chancery. Mr. H. DRUMMOND also introduced his measure to facilitate the sale and purchase of land. All these bills were read a first time. The Transfer of Aids Bill was considered as ametided and the report agreed to. The resolution passed by the committee of the whole house on the metropolitan improvements, authorising re payments out of the Consolidated Fund was brought up and agreed to, and a bill founded thereon ordered to bo brought in. The house adjourned at half-past 7 o'clock. [AnvEnTisitmENT.]—Holloway's Pills an effectual Re. medy for Gout and Rheumatism.—Extract of a letter from Mr. W. Moon, at Messrs.
