ite better half of Sir ROBERT PELL'S counsel has
bin taken by the government. Let each receive, for

tabs tem ; be for daring to say plainly what ought
Ihrttwit to be done, and they for the promptitude
with which they have set about doing it. 'Tie well ;

hem entering into any of the numerous provi-
dem by which it is proposed to carry oat the
scheme, whose aim and mode of operation in its
Wirer features he confined himself to enucciat-
bg. On ail hands it is felt that upon the efficiency and
stability of the means employed, the success of the
pin mot depend. If these be ill-chosen, it will ne-
essily fail ; if, on the contrary, there be sound

Mediate benefit and of lasting good.
far JOBN ROIIII.LT prefaced the announcement of
lis sew measure by a frank confession of the total
have of his Ineumbered Estates Bill of last session.
We have no desire to dwell upon that ungrateful
lgic. But considering the confident tone with which
Oat abortive project was introduced, the bland smiles
of oval from the infallibilities of all parties with
which it was received, the supercilious air with which
all suggestions (mare from the landlords and their law-
,* were spurned, the largeness of the majorities by
tibial it was passed, sad the special words
la the speech item the throne in which it
sues puffed—considering all these incidents, not
yet tine months old, we cannot help feeling
that parliament and the public ought to approach the
enannation and discuasion of the present attempt, to
legislate on the same subject, in a spirit as different as

Mild a peculiar abstinence from official obstinacy or
ppahr towhees (and we hardly know which to depre-
sses most), it is that now brought under renewed
lassoipt,on. We hope the example and the warn-
* of lest session may not be thrown away.
Abandoning all hope of accomplishing what is
Wetly requisite to be done through the instrumen-
tally either Court of Chancery, it is now proposed to
'bpi the idea of a temporary commission court of
Milk This new tribunal is to consist of two paid
smiseleners sad a secretary, who shall form a set
disks for their own guidance, such rules to be Wi-
nkled to the Privy Council in Ireland—and when
eurdeeed by them, and laid upon the table of the
Mass of Commons, to have the same force as if em-
bodied in the set No fere are to be imrsed ou
lam before the oommiesion, which is to be ap-
plated for a short period only. It is to deal
silk all applications ooming within the scope of its
baud jurisdiction which may be made to it within
the next three years; but it may be necessary.to an-
ted its duration for two years longer. It is to be
heisted with all the powers of the Court of Chan-
ey,; but it is not to have any function or duty to
plane except where applications are expressly
Nadi for its interposition either by a creditor or by
the owner of an estate. The commiss'oners• shall
lave full powers to sell the estate in such manner,
sod in such portions, as they may deem beneficial.
/the conveyance from them to the purchaser would
ifte him an immediate and indefeasible title beyond
istich it would not be nemeary to go at any future
time. The commissiooore are Mutes have the power of
fatting the purchaser at once in pomemion of the
Mad. The purchase money is to be paid into the
Wink of Inland, and distributed smog those entitled
le it without delay. Such, in its main features, is
Ike proposition of the government, somewhat oddly
teemed an amendment—it should rather be teemed an
abandonment—of the lumbered Estates Bill.
Nothing could be more generous than the manner
in which Sir ROBIRT PEEL acknowledged the merits
et the plan. There was no resolve, no hesi-
tation about him on the occasion. He roes
is a full perception of the true dignity of
]hie proposition, and forgot the somewhat unworthy

▪ the name of its author. But the world is not
always unjust Men will say, because they thish,
that to the timely pronunciamento of the member tar
Tamworth we an indebted for the present bill; eel
Ike thin veil of mystykation about suggestions of I
Smiler kind from various quarters, will not hide the
truth from anyone who wishes to see how the ease
really stands. What does it signify how often
some general notion of some sort of a commission
to do something or other with regard to land in
Connaught has beenput forth in unread pamphlets
by cleverish young Men "on the evils of Ireland and
their remedies In many of the multitudinous'
=tion of the productions we describe, with
our "spare room" shelves are cewed, we
have little doubt that the raw material o such a pro- I
Jest might be found. But what then? Is it the 1

Bating thismission, thestatement of the SoucTron-
GENERAL was worthy of his station and his name.
It was clear, vigorous, and unincumbered by the use
of technical terms; a vice too frequently inhernt in
the legislative rhetoric of members of the bar. Mr.
tertran, on behalf of the protecioniets, asked for
time to c,nsider whether he should demur generally
specially; in other word., to ascertain what the
neadetrong chief of the landlord party would say to
