LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

In the House of Lords, last night, the royal assent
was given, by commission, t 3 several bills. The
Marquis of LONDONDERRY as, the organ of the com-
mittee of the Wellington Statue, communicated the
result at which the committee had arrived, namely,
that they would not be parties to the contemplated
removal, and if oompelled to take it down they would
leave the statue at the bottom of the arch. The cost
of a new pedestal would be considerable, and it would
be improper to have the Duke of Wellington's name
mixed up in a contention about a vote of public'
money for such a purpose. The Marquis of
LANSDOWNE believed the only contention would be as
to how honour could be meet efficiently paid to the
noble duke ; the question being, how the statue
could be most conspicuously placed, consistent with
the dictates of public taste. Lord BROUGHAM, in
reference to the Irish repeal rent, for the collectiia
of which struggles were being made, trusted that
precautions would be taken to prevent even the
smallest fraction of the millions subscribed by the
people of the United Kingdom from finding its way
into the coffers of Conciliation.halL On the motion
of the Marquis of LANSDOWNE, the Bishop of St.
&mph was requested to preach before their lordships
in Westminster Abbey, on the Fast-day. Some
observations relative to the law of marriage closed
the business of the sitting.

In the House of Commons, Sir J. C. HOBHOUSE,
answer to Sir De L. EVANS, replied that the affair of '
the Deccan prise money was now arranged, and the
mosey would be paid into the hands of the trustees
hr immediate distribution. A discussion on the qua-
rantine laws ensued at the instance of Dr. Bowmen,
after which Mr. S. O'BRIEN, in an introductory
speech, pointing out the manifold disadvantages which
resulted from absenteeism in Ireland, which comprised
the proprietors of land whose annual rentals amounted
to four millions, or one-third of the whole rental of
that country, moved the following resolution : " That,
Mammal as the non-residence of landed proprietors
is Ireland is one of the causes of social disorganisa-
tion in that kingdom, it is expedient to impose a
charge, by way of special assessment, in aid of local
objects of an useful nature, upon the estates of th-
eatre proprietors, with a view to make some com-
Pewinhon for the evils resulting from their non-resi-
dence. Mr. Terra seconded the motion. Mr. Al-
&masa Hexpasay defended the city companies
bon the charge of neglecting their estates in the
meth of Ireland, the fact being that they
meat four-fifths of their rental in thee country,
g education and religious instruction to
the prop e. He felt convinced that the majority of
the absentee landlords spent more money on their
properties than did those that were resident.
Mfr LABOUCHIRE expressed his belief that the
/malt of the new Poor-law would be to induce a
pester number of gentlemen to live upon their estates, '
while he anticipated also great advantages to result
from the contemplated measure for facilitating the
treader of leaded property, which, when held by in-
competent persons, Leaded much more than absenteeimn
to produce the evilewhich at present existed. He must
oppose the motion. After some further discussion,
in which several honourable members took part,. the
hones divided, when the proposition was negatived
by a majority of 51.
