Mr. BRIGHT could not allow this disenedes to does
without ezpreming his opinion ea its seildect. He
bad never listened to the deliberations in that
helm upon any question connected with Ireland
with half the delight which that evening's debate had gives
him. (Hear, hear.) A more beautiful animation of a
1111111110111 than that given by the Solicitor-Oenerel of this moot
egeollent bill he had never heard in that house ce elsewhere.
(Hear, hear.) He could net find the siiihteat fault with the
proposition, either that it went too far, or that it did not p
far enough. There were, as the hon. and learned gentleman
admitted, other things to be done ; but certainly the measure
here submitted to the house was one which had begun at the
right i oiut, and was pr ceeding at all events to a consider-
able extent in the right direction—(hear, hear)—and he was
satisfied, farther, that though some learned gaudiness
so opposite and les other linens connected with the
land in Ireland might regard it as • dangerous
measure, there was no elate in Ireland whose real safety
was more c resulted by the bill than the clans of landed pro•
pelotas. (Hear, hear.) For himself, he would say that,
did he not conceive it would conduce) as much to their oak%
and to the staint.usnos of their property, as to the softy sea
to the maintenance of the property of any other elms, it
would not have tbe warm support he was disposed to give
it. (Hear, hear.) He was of o,,inion that oohing weld
be more fatal than an attempt to militate the preyerty of
any one class as agaiwit any other class; fialkftitS
baled on sound principle'', eelculited to meet peat semen-
dee, must be, as this measure eminently was, certain to be
advantageous to all classes in the country to which it re-
ferred. (Hear, hear.) He had that night fallen under the
displeasure of two bon. gentlemen representatives from Ire-
land :he was not about to say that he had not laid himself
open to some of the observations which had been made ;
but hon. gentlemen from Ireland would do him generally
this justice, that on all occasions mince he had sat in that
house, he had almost always makes, always voted, in fa-
vour of throe measures which had met the approbation
of the members for Ireland, at all events sitting on
that side of the house (bear, heat) while with
respect to this especial measure, rettlemen from Ireland
might perhaps recollect that at thel does of the last maim of
parliament, he had made the precise propmdtion now
mated to to the house by the Solicitor Geueral. (Hew, hear.)
He had stated on that occasion that, before anything else was
done with this question of land in Ireland, • special tribunal
ought to be appointed, to which the adjudication of all ques-
tions connected with this subject should be referred, NIKO.
from what he had beard of the condition of the Court of
Chancery in Ireland, he was ettisfied that nothing
effemive could be done without the establishment
of such a tribunal. (Hear, bear.) He would appeal unhesi-
tatingly to the whole of his conduct, in sad out of parlia-
ment, to show that he had never exhibited hostility te the
people of Ireland, or the se who represented them in that
haute. (Hear, hear.) He heartily thanked the government
for this measure, sad hoped they would exhibit as much de-
termination in pressing it through the hones, as they had
exhibited wisdom is 0111* iving it and laying it before par-
liament (Hear, hear.)
Sir J. WALSH had not heard any attack made upon the
hon. member by Irish repewientativel. The only Smog
attack that had been made that /mine was not upon the
hos member, but upon the bill before the house, and this
was by the hon. and learned member tor Oxford, who ds
*oilseed it as sot being saffielently eselesatery.
Mr. I. O'CONNELL said that the ad relative to enema.
wed estates which was passed last year had rendered the
expenses of the transfer of landed property in Ireland much
greater than they had been under the law as it formerly
stood. At the same time he must express his satisfaction
at the manner. in which the present measure had been brought
forward.

The SOLICITOWCHINBRAL replied that the equity

The SOLICITOR-OLNWAL the. moved foolsan to
bring in a bill to enable panne having perpetual lied

Tha shams metaialy are in favoar.of a vacancy
for Ihmiudaad ; perhaps for Maldon also. For, how
many arose above swindling is this half-yearly
" cookies" of railway accoenta P It was a fraud by
which the price of Pastern Counties stock was raised
and kept up fictitiously; by which thousands were
induced to invest their money in that stock; by
which the investors hoped ultimately to obtain that
highest of railway blessings ten per cent. And
who, now that the fraud has been discovered, that
the bubble has burst, will recompense those who
have been so deceived and deluded—all to their
infinite lous—essne to their ruin 4 This, be it
noted and remembered, is not a case cf self-
deception on the part of railway directors, is not a
case of undue midway speculation, is not a case of
sudden panic; it is a case of deliberate, dishonest
fraud practised by the chairman and deputy-chair-
man of a railway company on their own consti-
tueota—of a fraud which there was not a man at
the board or in the service of this company honest
enough to expose.
But the case against Messrs. lirrDsox and WaD-
rawarots does not end even here. There is a sum of
8,0001. or 9,0001. spent on parliamentary expenses, of
which the latter is afraid to account, lest he be ques-
tioned "in another plaice ;" that lilacs being the House
of Commas. There is a sum of 1,0001. given by Mr.
HUDSON'S directions to Mr. WADDINGTON, whose
services Mr. HUDSON once told his dupes were un-
remunerated. And, worse than all, there is a " second
postscript," which details a transaction amounting to
nothing less than the transfer by these two (cantle-
men of 2,0001. each to themselves of monies which
were not theirs.

FINANCIAL AND
PARLIAMENTARY REFORM.
MEETING AT DERBY.
On the *tee of Wednesday last the membersing_
end friends of the Derby Financial Reform Association as-
sembled is the Town-hall, to receive Kr. Archibald Pren-
tice, as a dilatation from the Manchester Association. Mr.
Alderman Pear (president of the Derby Society) wss in the
chair. Thus were also present many members of the town
°ounce, tradesmen, and others. The body of the hall was
well filled, and the whole proceedings passed off with the
greatest unanimity.
The CHAIRMAN, in introducing the proceeding',
a favourable accorant of the Derby Financial
Association; and in pointing oat the weaselly of having the
suppwt„ sot ernly of the local prow, but also of the metro-
politan jenrush, he ovailed himself of the occasion to beer
testimony to the eminent services which the Dairy News is
rendering to the cause of political and financial Morse. The
whole staff of she Vezify New was throwing its energies into
the cause; and hence it was incumbent on all who sub-
scribed to a daily paper, and who were sincerely desirous of
promoting the good cause, to give thst paper the preference
over the other daily journals. (Hear, hear.) Adverting to
the business that had called them together, the Chairman
stated that financial reform was a question of vital import-
sus to all. The expenditure now going en was quite
as great, if net greater (taking
.the altered value of money
into the account), as it was during war—and with shame belt
spoken. Governments and legislators must, however, make
up their minds to economise, for the middle and working
Blames would not long submit to the present system. Indeed,
the fault would rest with the people if they did not insist
upon economy and retrenchment. It was a breeches pocket
questise, a question that affected them all, but more parti-
cularly the working classes, whose families were debarred of
many comforts they ought to enjoy, owing to the wasteful
extravagance) of the public money. (Cheers ) With the
view a helping on the good cause Mr. Archibald Prentice
had paid them a gratuitous vi-it that evening ; and be (Mr.
Peet) was sure that he would be listened to with attention
and profit.
Mr. PRENTICE then spoke at great length on the subject
of Financial Reform. He was warmly cheered. When he
had concluded,
Mr. Councillor biLMILIT moved, and Mr. Councillor
TAYLOR seconded, a vote of thanks to Mr. Prentice, which
was carried by acclamation.
The CHAIRMAN then announced, amidst vociferous
cheers, that 700 working men had already joined the Derby
Freehold Land Society, taking 925 shares.

THE SHAXSPEARE SOCIETY.
The eighth annual meeting of this society took

Mr. J. P. Collier in the chair.
The report anted that the council could not but refer with
satisfaction to the interest manifested towards the literature
of the period which the society had undertaken to illustrate.
Various circumstances had tended to bring about this result,
the chief of whi h were the sale of the poet's hones at Strat-
ford-upon-Avon, sad the purchase of the Chunks Portrait
by the Earl of Ellesmere, the president of the society. The
purchase of the house had greatly occupied the time of the
members of the council, and their labours LS this cause had
not yet ceased. The premises were at present vested in the
committee appointed to carry out the purchase, and about
4001. were still required to place it is the hands of national
trainee. The purchase of the Chandos portrait by the pre-
sident was • matter of considerable interest to the society,
as every member would have an opportunity of panning an
engraving from this, the most generally acknowledged
representation of the pest. To accomplish this oboe
as perfectly as psuible, the director Mr. Collier, had
undertaken to accompany the portrait with an account
of all the known representations of the poet ; and
the council wen happy to state that the week would
be stipend by Mr. Samuel Cousins. The books
issued to the subscribers during
,the year 1848 uses " The

for Masques at Court," now first engraved from the
original drawings in the possessioa of his Grace the Duke of
Devonshire. Edited by J. R. Planchil and J. P. Collier,Eirps.,
with • new life of Miss Jones by Peter Cunningham, Esq.
The fourth volume of the society's papers had been ironed as
the first publication for the subscription of the present year,
and the second volume of the " Extracts from the &widen
of the Stationers' Coming " was making rapid progress
through the press. There were various other works in the
press, and amongst them were vol. v. of the " Shskspeare
Society's Papers :" being a miscellany of contributions illus-
trative of the drama and literature of the Shakspernui era.
to be continued. And " Tide Tarrieth no Man. A most
plessannts and merry comedic, right pithy and fate of
delight. By George Ward. From the unique ropy, 4to,
1578, in the library of the Duke of Devonshire." Then fol-
lowed • list of the works in the bends of the cams:o, or of
the different editors, which will be brought out according to
the sondition of the tunes of the society. The council oun-
della the report by expressing their gratification that the
members of the society continued to inmate.
The financial statement proved that the amount of re-
ceipts from the 18th April,lll4B, to the 18th April, 1849, was
4871. 18e. 9d.,wlitle the payments amounted to 4301. le. 3d.,
leaving a balance of 571. 17s. Bd., exclusive of subscriptions
MI due.
The report of the council and the report of the auditors
having been adopted, the thanks of the society were
voted to the editors of the various books issued
during the past year : to John Payne Collier, Esq., for
the Mt volume of the Extracts from the Registers of the
Sentieners' Company,' and for the valuable notes and illos.

ing the fourth volume of the ' Society's Papers and to the
miens oontaibutore thereto; and to Major Inigo Jones for
the sentribution of Inigo Jones's Portrait, ya the expenses
binned in engraving and printing the same.—That the
dash of the society be given to the director, treasurer, and
secretary for their services."
Five new members were then appointed to the council in
the room of the Rev. A. Dyce, the Rev. H. H. Milman, Mr.
J. Oxesked, Mr. J. R. Planets, and Sir George Rome, who
were about to resign the oSce.
Mr. MORAN then proposed a resolution, " That it be re-
temmended to the nasal not to destroy the engraved plate
lithe Mundial portrait of Shalupears, without having pre-
ens* obtained the sanction of • general meeting of
nembers."
• discussion took place, and it appeared from statements
by Mr. Cooper and Mr. P. Cunninghant, the treasurer
to the society, that a contract bad been entered into by which
Mr. Cousins had undertaken to limit the number of impress.
dons to 750. Tr is being the case it would not be acting
fairly towards the enbeinben to make the engraving ammo*
to the public.
Mr. MORAN stated that as a °menet had been entered
into be would withdraw his motion.
A. vote of thanks was then pared to the chairman, and the
meeting separated.
