Sir J. WALSH wished it to be distinctly understood that in acquiescing in the arrangement which had been come to, it was on the distinct understanding that they assented to the second reading of the bill, as it were pro forma ; that they were not to be understood in any way as assenting to the bill, but that they would come to the discussion on Monday as completely free as if they had come to it this - evening. Mr. HUME asked whether it was intended that the property of the country should be registered, in order that Government might know when a change took place The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that was no doubt an important question, and one that ought to be well discussed in the debates on this bill ; but when a question was put to him on a former night, whether it was intended that the Registration of Assurances Bill should be pressed, in order that it might become the basis of this measure, he answered in the negative, and ho had now to repeat that Government did not think it necessary that there should be any registration of property for the purposes of this bill. Their belief was that the tax might be collected without any general registration of property ; anti, therefore, whatever course parties might think fit to take with reference to the registration of as surances , it would not be pr o p ose d i n the bill before the house. Mr. WALPOLE said in the bill before the house there was blank left for the sum below which parties were to be exempt from paying the succession tax. He asked whether a similar provision would be made in refereace to the property of the smaller charities. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER must con fess that the point of exemption, the minimum point at which the tax was to be laid, had not occupied his atten tioh. It was a matter of detail, and he was not sure that in the case of corporations any exemption would be right. He would rather take time to answer. Mr. HEADL AM asked whether any charge was to be imposed on the property of the ecclesiastical commission. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he thought they fell under the description of the revenues of corporations sole. These revenues were distributed by the commissioners in aid of official provisions, and would not be liable to the tax. Mr. HUME asked whether in cases where the dissenters had established funds for the payment of their ministers in part, they would come under the same provisions, because it would appear that these funds were for the payment of services exactly in the same manner as the revenues of the Church of England wore ' The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied that wherever there was an endowment for the purposes of any religious community other than the Established Church, which was assimilated by a legal provision to the case of the corporation sole, the same benefit precisely would be extended to that endowment, quite irrespective of the question what was the religious denomination to which it was attached. With regard to fund s h e ld b y trustees, he w as a f ra id th ere would be difficulty in work ing it out, but they should attempt to come as nearly as they conic! to the establishment of the principle he had described, namely, that where the provision was bona fide for the diecharge of certain official duties, there they would be exempt. Mr. HUME said in some cases fund were provided for the purposes of education, the payment of schoolmasters and others. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said there was no general provision for exempting funds for the purpose of education; he would explain 'why another time. EXCISE DUTIES OF SPIRITS BILL. The house then went into committee on this bill. On clause 1, Captain JONES moved the rejection of so much of the clause as imposes an addition of Sd. per gallon to the duty now payable on spirits taken out of warehouse for consump tion in Ireland. He said that two gallons of spirits were made out of a bushel oats, which at the present price would cost is. 10d., and they proposed to put on the spirits a tax of ss. 4d., which he thought would inevitably cause a great increase in illicit distillation. On former occasions when they had imposed higher duties on spirits in Ireland there had not been a corresponding increase in revenue, but when the duty had been lowered, the quantity on which duty had been paid had considerably increased. In 1834 the duty was reduced from 3s. 6d. to 2s. 4d. a gallon, and the consumption rose from 9 to 10, and 12 millions of gallons in succeeding years. The increase of duty had in variably been followed by a corresponding increase of crime. In 1830 the duty was raised to 2s. 10d. per gallon, but they had no exact statistics of crime in that year. In 1834, however, when the duty was augmented to 3s. 4d., there were no fewer than 5,434 persons accused of offences against the revenue laws, and there were 648 in prison. In 1834 the duty was diminished to 2s. 4d., and the number of persons charged fell at once from 8,192 to 4,904, and the number of persons in gaol from 1,296 to 842. The duty remained at 2s. 4d. for a considerable period, and the number of persons charged gradually fell until in 1842 there were only 881, and 171 in gaol. (Hear, hear.) In that year Sir R. Peel increased the duties once more, and the number of persons charged instantly rose to 1,895, and the persons in gaol to 911. The number charged had risen as high as 3,400; and even last year the number was 2,904, and the number in gaol 557. From the statistics of the years of low duty, he had a right to assume that the consumption of spirits in Ireland was as much as 11 million gallons a year. But the quantity brought to charge was now only 8 millions odd gallons, and therefore he might fairly conclude that the remainder was the product of illicit distillation. (Hear, hear.) He would admit that it was quite legitimate to raise as large a revenue from spirits as possible but the fact was that the greatest sums had a ccrued to the exchequer while the low duties were in (21 ._ r i c r e i i - UP to 1834 the average annual receipts from all the tL_ sue.: rsurned in Ireland was about 1,400,0001. • but in spirlitsathan 1,434,5731. was raised from the home only going to rn o ne. t (Hear, hear.)

On these grou n d s he (the e had mentioned h a d fol to propose his amendment. gallant member) begged Mr. J. 31`GREGOR, on the other hand, should have supported the proposition of Governmenteven if it a nti been to increase the doty 2s. per in Scotland, nd ss. in Ireland. It surely could . not be for the advantage of the public morals that spirits should be had at so low a price, either in Ireland or any other country ' • and h o r idiculed the idea that th e p ro p osed increase w ould lead to any serious increase in illicit distillation. Mr. 11. J. BAILLIE thought the hoidn.agtteenntlteimon to theanwho had just sat down could hardl y have pa statistics of the case, or he would have .. lzo . ntht,_the i reci ogition of a duty of ply Od t per NA 14 044 41141 of individual property was liable to the succession tax. Then they came to a large class of miscellaneous corpora tions, charitable or eleemosynary, academical and ecclesi astical corporations aggregate. These would all be dealt with in the same manner, that was to say, under the rule he had already described. They would be subject to the tax of 3d. in the pound on their realised revenues for seven years, and of 6d. in the pound thereafter. He thought he had now named, although briefly, all the important classes of corporations aggregate, with the exception of one, which was not very important in a fiscal point of view, but which interested the feelings of so many persons, that perhaps he had better refer to them. He referred to the case of reli gious corporations strictly so called, namely, religions and benevolent societies which were supported in the main by annual subscriptions or donations. With regard to these it was not proposed that they should be subject to the tax at all, except in reference to such portions of their property as they might have derived from bequests or as they might have been in possession of anterior to the commencement of the present century, because ho thought that nothing could be more antagonistic to sound policy, and he was sure nothing could be more repugnant to the feelings of the house and the country, than to lay on the donations and contributions of living persons which really , repre sented the principle of charity in its full and fsreeeemaecd tion, anything in the nature of a to him just to draw a distinction between that which was given by men as an act of self-denial out of their own means, which they would otherwise enjoy, and that of which they were permanently the givers by law which was not in fact a gift at all, but was so much taken from their heirs. He had now done with corporations aggregate, but a most important question, and one of considerable diffi culty arose in consequence of a principle of our law by which persons under the denomination of corporations sole held property. These corporations sole he believed con sisted generally, for though there were exceptions, they were of an insignificant character, of the clergy of the country, bishops, and the incumbents of parishes. The question arose, ought the property possessed by these cor porations sole to be regarded as corporation property, and on that account made liable to the tax, or it ought to be regarded as a provision m a d e f or th e discharge of certain official duties. These two view s o f th e corporate c h aracter and of the official character, met at this particular point, and the whole question turned on this, would they hold that they were corporations according to law and say, be cause they were corporations they were subject to the tax, or would they, on the other hand, say the revenues were merely payments for official duties, and that, therefore, a clergyman on accession to hi s rec t or y s h ou ld no more b e charged with the tax than a judge on his entrance into Westminster Hall was charged ? The view of the Govern ment was that the property of ecclesiastical officers, though they were in law corporations sole, ought to be regarded as a provision for the discharge of certain duties, and that, therefore, the acquisitions of these offices ought not to be taxed as a succession. But there was another and a good reason, and one he was afraid rather in the nature of a grievance, for arriving at this conclusion, and that was the present provision of the law, which entailed a heavy expense on the ac quisition of these offices. Whether on that ground or on the other ground, he had very little doubt the house would be of opinion that this large portion of ecclesiastical property, which was vested in clergymen as corporations sole, ought not to be regarded as corporation property, and ought not to be subject to a tax on successions any more than they would tax the succession to the office of Lord Chancellor, or of any of the judges. There was only one other point he had to name. There were certain other classes of men, who, although not corporations in the view of the law, yet they should view as corporations for the purposes of this act, namely, bodies of trustees, under whatever name, who were actual holders and adminis trators of property for the use of individuals through whose hands property was continually transmitted without any charge on death. The bill would be so framed that bodies cf that kind would be regarded as being virtually corporations, and property in their bands would be treated as if it were the property of corporations. He did not know that he need detain the committee any further. It would be obviously more convenient that the details should be reserved ; but, as respected the principle, it was mate rial that the house should know what was the plan of the government as regarded corporations, and therefore he had thought it right to offer this explanation. Sir F. KELLY asked whether the bill with regard to corporations would forts part of the bill before the house, or would be treated in a separate bill, whether the corpo rations to be liable to the tax included municipal corpora. tions, and whether the measure would affect the property of the corporation of the city of London ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the bill would not make any distinction between the corpora tion of the city of London and other municipal corporations. He thought he had stated that municipal corporations would be brought under the action of this plan in the same manner as under the income tax—that was, they would be liable to pay the tax on their realised property, but not on the revenu e w hi c h th ey d er i ve d f rom t h e rates. With regard to the other question, the view of the govern ment wag, that it would be decidedly more convenient that they should deal with this subject in a separate bill, because the wholo of the present bill was founded on the idea of succession as the consequence of death. He hoped to be in a condition to lay the bill on the table of the house in a few days. Mr. MALINS suggested that it would have been a more simple plan to have made the property tax 5, per cent. instead of 3. to a diminution of 2,000,000 gallons brought to charge in Scotland. As for illicit distillation, why a large still had lately been discovered in the woods about his (Mr. Baillie's) house. There were 16 men engaged in working it, and they completely beat off the police. (Hear, hear.) Mr. M`GREGOR did not dispute the facts mentioned by the right hon. gentleman, but the circumstances of Scotland had completely changed since 1826. It w.s quite true that illicit stills were now occasionally worke i in that country, but the same thing occurred to a far greater ex tent in London. (Hear, hear.) And what was the reason ? The enormous amount of duty levied on English spirits as c ompared with Irish and Scotch. His principle would be to equalise the duties, whether excise or custom, on all spirits, whether English, Irish, Scotch, colonial or foreign. Mr. M`MAHON protested against the proposal of Go vernment as a most unjustifiable attempt to increase the existing restrictions on agriculturists, who were already most unfairly treated as compared with the manufacturers. Colonel DUNNE said the inevitable increase of illicit spirits which the augm en t e d d u t y would cause would be a greatinjury to Ireland. Recently the temperance move ment had made much progress there ; but this would re tard. There were numerous places of concealment in Ire land where illicit stills might be worked, and be entirely beyond the reach of the police. The augmented duty would not repay the cost of its collection as additional police and other officers would be necessary ; and the in jury to the morals of the people generally would be enor mous. The army would be affected by it ;at present many of the Irish soldiers had been brought up in temperate habits ; but the change proposed would give an impetus to drunkenness. He should oppose the bill entirely. Mr. M'CANN said the Chancellor of the Exchequer had stated that the ordinary police in Ireland would be em ployed to assist the officers of the revenue. He should de plore any such step, as it would be fatal to that admirable force, who were daily becoming more popular in the coun try. They were scattered over an open district in groups of three or four, and without the support of the people they would be wholly ineffective. The revenue police was sufficiently well organised, and it would be better to in crease that body than divert the regular police from their duties. He was not opposed to the increase of the duty. Sir J. YOUNG said that great caution ought to be and no doubt would be used in employing the ordinary police for the collection of revenue. At present, no resolution had been come to of the kind which the hon. gentleman supposed. He concurred with the honourable gentleman in thinking that the Irish constabulary had the general confidence of the people, and this was owing to their uni form good conduct. (Hear, hear.) The practice of illicit distillation had not at any time prevailed generally over Ireland. In some large counties—Meath, for instance —there had been scarcely any. It had been for the most part confined to the poorer and more hilly districts, where oats were extensively grown, and the people were generally poor. The want of roads in those districts had also stimulated illicit distillation, but in the last twenty years much had been done to remedy this. The people were now enabled to bring their oats to market, and there was no necessity for them to resort to illicit dis tillation. There were good grounds to hope that this very small increase of duty might be safely made. A few years ago there was great excitement about allowances being made for waste in bond ; and it was said that if the dis tillers had this concession made, they were quite reedy to submit to a shilling duty. This had been done; and tak ing the allowance at an average of 2d. only, the increase of duty was really 6d., and not Bd. per gallon. He hoped that the question of employing the constabulary would be reconsidered ; the increase of duty was so small that it might not be necessary. Illicit distillation prevailed very partially; farmers had greater facilities for bringing their oats to market, and the wages of labour were so good that he hoped the people would not fall into these practices. Mr. GEORGE complained that no answer had been given to Col. Jones's,statistics. The question had not been considered as one of Irish taxation at all. The important consideration was whether the proposed increase would have the effect of increasing or diminishing tho revenue from Irish spirits. A tabular statement fo r th e l as t 21 years showed that the amount of duty and the amount of revenue realised were exactly in an inverse ratio to each other. Whenever the duty had been increased, the re venue had fallen ; and vice versa. The increase of duty had so greatly increased the temptation to illicit distilla tion, that the result had been a great increase of crime. It was said that the distiller had received a boon in the allowance for waste. This amounted at the utmost to 40,000/. or 50,000/. ; while this proposed increase of duty was no less than 238,000/. (Hear, and cries of " divide.") Not only would the increased duty cause an increase of illicit distillation, but it might lead to illicit practices in the regular distilleries. He also deprecated the employ ment of the Irish constabulary in aid of the revenue police. To make them spies and informers would destroy the confidence of the country, and render the force use less. He hoped the Chancellor of the Exchequer would give his best attention to the tables that had been referred to, showing that every increase of duty had diminished the revenue, and tended to demoralise the people. The committee then divided— For the amendment.. Against it 38 100 Majority On our re-admission to the gallery, Mr. CRAUFURD was addressing the committee. He was understoed to say that the distillers would not object to the increased duty on spirits if they - were allowed to distil from malt. Mr. P. O'BRIEN said the Scotch distillers enjoyed a great advantage over the Irish distillers in the matter of the drawback. In 17 years the former had received draw backs to the amount of no less than 4,248,584/. ; while the Irish distillers had received in the same period only 70,211/. This was felt by the Irish distillers to be a great grievance. Mr. J. MACGREGOR said he wished to see all spirit duties equalised, wherever the article was produced. He would support this bill, but regretted that it (lid not go to the extent he had suggested. Tho CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER hoped the members of the committee, and especially Irish members, would bear in mind the emphatic testimony to tho modera tion of his proposition which had been borne by Mr. Mac gregor. (Elear, hear, and laughter.) No doubt it was very difficult to make this question of spirit duties at all intelligible to the uninitiated ; he hardly knew a more hopeless task. A cruel contest had long been raging be tween Ireland and Scotland on the subject of the malt drawback enjoyed by the latter. He believed that, while Scotland was anxious to retain that drawback, she took very little interest in the question of allowances for waste —a boon which had just been conceded to the Irish dis tillers ; and as it was customary with Irish distillers to key their spirits longer in the warehouse, in order that they might acquire a mellow flavour, that allowance was of more importance to them. (Hear,hear.) He did not propose to make any change with regard to the malr drawback; but he would'give the committee the assurance that the whole question was under the careful con sideration of the Government,—whether it was possible to not to arrange a system by which distillers might be en abled to distil from duty-free malt. (Hear, hear.) That would be an immense boon to Scotland ; and it might be the means of assisting them to a settlement of this great spirit duty question on a larger and broader basis. (Hear, hear.) The Irish distillers, who objected strongly to the drawback of the Scotch distillers, would be perfectly well satisfied to have the boon of distilling from dutyfree malt, though undoubtedly that would be a greater advantage to the Scotch distillers. Such a proposal it would be im possible to connect with the present bill, on account of the vast amount of revenue dependent on the collection of the malt duties, and the necessity of avoiding any opening for their wholesale evasion ; these were matters which re quired the most minute, detailed, and elaborate consider ation. A great question of that kind must be made to wait upon the political convenience of putting forward a fiscal measure like the one before the house. Tho ques tion would receive the most serious consideration ; to him it would be a matter of great satisfaction if they were able to arrange it ; but at the same time, after the very fair concession that had been made for wastoage, he thought that Ireland should be content to allow the Scotch distillers to enjoy their drawback on malt. Though that malt drawback appeared to impose an extra duty on Scotch whisky as compared with grain spirits, the differ ence in reality did not amount to so much as was sup posed, owing to the improvements which had taken place in the mode of distilling. (Hear, hear.) Sir T. O'BRIEN said it was the practice of the Scotch distillers to ship their whisky in Ireland and get the drawback there ; the spirit remained in the warehouse perhaps ten years, and the distiller enjoyed the advantage all that time. It was not just to allow half the draw back to the Scotch, and deny it to the Irish distillers. After a few words from Captain JONES, clause 1 was agreed to, as were clauses up to 15, On clause 15, Mr. BOWYER hoped the right hon. gentleman, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, would give some explana tion why the same allowance was not made for waste on Irish spirits in bond which was made on foreign and colo nial spirits. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that with respect to the waste of spirits a good deal depended on the nature of the spirit, and on the nature of the vessel in which it was kept, but there was no difficulty whatever in ascertaining what the amount of waste was. The maxi mum allowance for waste was one gallon in every 100 gal lons at hydrometer proof. On the quarter ending January, 1853, upon 2,000,000 gals. of spirits distilled in England, and charged with the excise duty, the waste was ls. 3d. bper cent. In Scotland, upon 1,250,000 ga l s ., th e d ecrease y waste was 1-Bth per cent., and upon more than 1,500,000 gals. In Ireland, during the same quarter, the decrease for waste was 1-sth per cent. There was no difficulty therefore in ascertaining the waste. And that being so, he thought it better to take the actual waste as it was found, than have recourse to one general rule. Mr. GROGAN had no doubt that the greatest accuracy existed in ascertaining the amount of waste ; but why not place the Irish spirits and foreign and colonial spirits on the same footing ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQITKR said the observation of the hon. gentleman was more applicable to the rules and regulations of the Board of Customs than to the bill under discussion. Mr. P. O'BRIEN said the rules and regulations of the Excise were in such a confused state, that the distillers did not know when they were acting in conformity with the law or otherwise. He wished to know whether the right hon. gentleman would promise a general revision of the laws on this subject. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER did not think the hardship could be so very grievous, 'because no representations had been made to him on the subject by the distillers. He would give his best attention to anysuch representations. Col. DUNNE said that great complaints had been made by the Irish distillers as to the state of the law. Mr. Sergeant MURPHY asked whether, as the 3 new duty was imposed on the 21st April, and the allowance for waste was not to be made till the bill passed, the right, hon. gen tleman would not so alter the bill as to make the alow . ance for waste contemporaneous with the imposition of the new duty. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQI7EXt could not undertake that they should take effect simultam eously. Mr. FRENCH said that there were between 30,000 and 40,000 puncheons of spirits in bond in Dublin, and he wished to know if the allowance for waste woul d bo made with respect to them? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUE R said it was quite impossible to allow for wastage retro spectively. The clause was then agreed to, as were clans( fft up to 20. The remaining clauses were then agreed to, ant 1 the house having resumed, the chairman reported progress,. The bill was ordered to be reprinted. CUSTOMS DUTIES ON SPIRITS BILL. This bill passed through committee. TENANTS' COMPENSATION (IRELAND) BILL. On the motion for going into committee on 0 tis bill, Sergeant SHEE said he did not see the n ecessity of plettcgiillistotchoamt m it i w tt a e s e e a f p th re e s u en tm t. est Th im e pe h rt ou an se ee w t i : a u t ld a a m gr e ee a. n which the attention of the country had been but le l o r ns e goeuirs,ablbee ti t r a e, ma sh p o l ul ea d t enpolvt jnits d gi h y a e s n tik r , j Colonel GREVILLE urged that, as the bill was only in the hands of members yesterday, it should not be pro ceeded with. He wished to know whose bill it was ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the Government , attached great importance to the bill, and they were anxious to proceed with it. The subject was one of great importance, but whether the provisions of the bill were right or wrong (and no one seemed to be respon sible for them), would only be seen by going into commit tee. But, considering the unpreparedness of hon. mem bers, he should recommend his right hon. friend to yield to the wish so generally expressed, and postpone the com mittee. After a few words from Mr. KIRK, Mr. BRIGHT said that the house ought to know what the views of the Governmrnt were on the bill ; and it was unfortunate that in the select committee those views were not known. The Chief Secretary for Ireland had done his best in the select committee to make the best of the bill, and bad taken a very liberal view of the question, but he (Mr. Bright) would recommend the Government to go care fully over the bill, and make up their minds to carry it as a Government measure. Ho believed it was the best mea sure that could be passed, and would give greater satisfac tion in Ireland than some hon. members expected, and would tend to set at rest this session the important ques tion of tenant compensation. Mr. WHITESIDE said this was in truth a new bill, and he implored English members to read it, and consider how they would relish having its principle extended to Eng land and Scotland. If the Government believed in the soundness of the principle of the bill they ought to take it up, and endeavour to carry it. The bill was thou postponed. The order of the day for the second reading of the Lon don and Edinburgh Gazettes Bill was discharged. TAXING OFFICER COMMON LAW (IRELAND.) On the consideration of this bill, as amended, Mr. I. BUTT moved, as an amendment, in clause 3, page 3, lines 35 and 36, to leave out the words " that the said principal officer shall be a banister of at least five years' standing," and insert instead thereof the following words :- •" that any such principal officer hereafter to be appointed shall be an attorney of one of the superior courts of common law at Dublin of at least ten years' standing." Sir J. YOUNG opposed the amendment. The bill had been prepared under the superintendence of the heads of the courts of Ireland, and their opinion was that the officer in question should be a barrister, and that the second tax ing officer should be a solicitor ; by which system they would get at once legal knowledge an d th e k now l e d ge o f technicalities. Mr. R. MOORE opposed the amendment. - It was not a question which profession should be consulted; but how best the public interests would be benefitted ; and this bill was based on the proper principle. With respect to juris diction and salaries, however, he thought that the two offi cers ought to have been on a par. Mr. FITZGERALD would support the amendment if it left tbo office open to either professions. He had never heard that the bar had too many offices. It was notorious that the Irish bar was neglected by the Secretary to the Colonies, and by the President of the India Board. The amendment was withdrawn; and Mr. R. MOORE moved an amendment to the effect he had suggested ; but ho did not press it, but undertook to bring it up at another stage. A conversation then took place as to what the salary of the second officer should be. The Secretary for Ireland was disposed to make it 6001. a-year ; and after some dis pute the bill was recommitted for the purpose of deciding the question. The result was that the salary of the first officer was fixed at LOU ' and that of the second at 600/. The house then resumed. CANTERBURY ELECTION. On the motion of Mr. K. SEYMER, the issuing of the writ for the Canterbury election was further postponed till the Bth of July. The house adjourned at eleven o'clock. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISION. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-JUNE 10.

THE YOUNG HEIRESS.—The interest that attaches to a youthful beauty possessed of a large fortune, makes her, and her circle, their sayings, doings, adventures, schemes, and disappointments, admirable materials for the novelist, especially in the hands of so skilful a narra tive-artist as Mrs. Trollops. No one wonders, there fore, at the success of the remarkable novel she has just published under the title of " The Young Heiress," which, though a tale of startling incidents, creates a powerful impression, principally on account of its truth ful delineations of society. considering its details, or developing the objeetions which it might be thought necessary to take against it. There had not been the least reason to suppose that this bill would go into committee to-night • indeed, the chairman of the committee from whom the bill emanated only put it on the paper pro forma as it were, as it was felt by him and other honourable members that there was no prospect of its coming on to-night, while many honourable gentlemen who took an interest in the measure had gone away under the impression that the discussion on the Successions Bill would take up the whole evening. (Hear.) The bill was only printed the day before yesterday, and it had not been in the hands of members more than a day ; but, in addition to that, it should be remembered that this was neither the bill that he had the honour of bringing in, nor that pro posed by the right hon. gentleman the member for the University of Dublin. It was a bill which was thrown upon the table of the committee within the two or three last days of its sitting, and it was the result he believed of a compromise come to at a moment when the committee almost despaired of arriving ab any conclusion upon the matter referred to them. (Hear, hear.) Now, under the circumstances, how could any one be prepared to discuss its details then ? Whose bill was it ? Probably the Go vernment were desirous of showing the people of Ireland that they were determined to pass some bill of the sort this session ; but if this were so, they ought at least to give the house and the country to understand that they were pledged to this or some other bill. Did they propose to pass this bill in its present shape, or were they pledged to its provisions ? At all events, whether they wore anxious to pass the bill or not, the Government could not be sus pected of any want of disposition to do something in this matter, and therefore he called upon them to postpone the committal of this bill until full opportunity had been affording. for considering its details. (H ear , h ear .) Mr. V. SCULLY certainly must protest against proceed ing with the bill to-night. The bill was the result of a good deal of labour, while it was intended to afford the tonants of Ireland some of the protection which they had been asking for a great many years. But there was another bill upon the subject now before the committee, and until they knew the result of the labours of the com mittee with regard to that bill, he must object to pro ceeding with the present measure. The other bill was generally called the Landlord and Tenants Codification Bill, but he had heard it more than once styled the " Extermination Bill," and until they were in posses sion of that measure, or, at all events, until Ireland had been afforded time to pronounce an opinion upon this bill, ho could not admit the expediency of proceeding with it. (Hear, hear.) Sir J. YOUNG was at a loss to understand how Irish bills were to be disposed of, if the Government were to be met with obstacles like this. If they put a bill down on the paper for a Wednesday, they were accused of a breach of faith, and now, at only half-past nine o'clock, they were told it was too late at night to go on with this bill. No one could possibly be taken by surprise by the bill, because it was the bill of the committee who had been expressly appointed to take the subject into consideration. The committee not only considered the two bills referred to them, but they went thoroughly into the whole subject, and ultimately they determined upon adopting a bill in the shape of that now before the house. It could hardly be said, therefore, that this bill had not been fully consi dered already; but the hon. and learned serjeant wanted to know if the Government were prepared to pledge them selves to the details of the measure. He would not go the length of saying that, but, when the house recalled to its recollection the circumstances under which the committee was appointed from which the bill had come, and the manner in which it was constructed, the house would at once perceive that the bill was one which was entitled to their immediate consideration. The majority of the com mittee were favourable to the principle of tenant right, while in accordance with the wishes of the Irish people they had referred to them the bill proposed by the hon. and learned serjeant and that prepared by the right hon. gentleman the member for Dublin, and after many weeks deliberation they agreed to recommend the present bill for the adoption of the house. There were two points of the bill which he, on the part of the Government, objected to in committee, namely, the point which related to the regulations for waste land improvements and that which had reference to the retrospective compensation of tenants, but those parts of the bill were carried in committee against him, and the Government now proposed to leave the house to dispose of the bills as they thought proper. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) Underthe circumstances, howe which he had just stated, he could see no reason whatever for delay, and he must again urge the necessity of going into committee to-night. (Hear, hear.) Mr. NAPIER entered into an explanation of what had occurred in the committee up stairs, and admitted that the committee gave the fullest consideration not only to the two bills referred to them, but the whole subject of tenant right. With regard to the bill he was opposed to its machinery, and he advocated some delay in its being com mitted. DAY EvENINOr, JUNE 11, 1853. SPURTING INTELLIGENCE. (J. Mann) 1 Mr. E. R.

The business and pleasure of the meeting were brought to a close to-day, the attendance being almost entirely confined to persons having more than a passing interest in the proceedings. The racing was extremely good, the contests being decided twice by a head, once by a neck, and twice by half a length. So far as the sport was concerned, this was a brilliant termination to a brilliant meeting. It will be seen that of the six races to-day three were won by horses belonging to Lord Exeter, who, in the course of the meeting had the good fortune to win seven events, and all probability his lordship would have added to the number had not Ilex bolted to-day after startin g for her Majesty's Pate. He was also six times second, including the gallant contest with his horse Stockwell for the Emperor's Vase. The success of so stanch and liberal a patron of horse-racing was regarded with peculiar gratification by the best friends of the turf. In conclusion, we would award a full measure of praise to the staff of officials for the very efficient dis charge of their respective duties. The sport came off as follows : FIRST CLASS OF THE WOKINGHAM STAKES of 5 soya. each, for three-yr-olds and upwards (Handicap). Last three-quarters of the New Mile. 21 subs. Mr. T.

After rounding the turn into the straight, Inder took close quarters, and at the distance passed Battery, who was also immediately passed by The Friar and Scandal. An extremely fine race in with Nutpecker and Inder, ended in favour of the former by a head. The Friar finished two lengths behind the second. Catspaw lost start, and was several lengths in the rear all the way. HANDICAP PLATE Of 501. Swinley Course.
