that the order of the day toe proceeding with the Borough
Elections end the Horsham Borough Bill be discharged,
with a view to introduce anew =ensure, and, in doing so,
le should state the outlines of it, as he hoped to avoid therein
the objections which he entertained to the bill of the hon.
member for Flint, though not entirely to get rid of them.
The house was aware that by an act which he had the honour
to introduce in August: 1840, for the pester disoreere
bribery at election'o compromises entered intar its
lanmealment, it was provided that in case charges of bribery
at elections were abandoned in such a way as to lead
• suspicion of compromise, or that the parties were
to
Braid of recrimination, then the committeer had
the power to report to the house that a further investigation
was required, and in that cue the house had the power to
appoint another committee to consider the grounds of the
abandonment of such charges, and to prosecute further in-
quiry hate them. He would now state what were p
of the bill which he proposed to introduce were. He pro-
p to extend the provisions ere act just alluded to in
cases where charges of bribery made, either by petition
or in recrimination. The Election Petition Committee
would have to investigate all thus cherges, and if they
found that the parties did not proceed in bringing forward
evidence so as to enable them to go into the case, the com-
mittee was to have power to report that a further investiga-
tion into the bribery was needed. The house would then
determine whether the inquiry was to be pursued by the
Immo committee or by an investigation at the place where the
bribery occurred. If the house deter committeeptng the
former moie of inquiry, then thewould be
obliged to meet again within 14 days and to proceed under the
provisions of the act of 1842, Vic. 6 & 7 ; and the speaker
would sppoint an agent to conduct such investigation. But
if the committee recommended that an inquiry should be
instituted on the spot, then the Speaker would notify to fly
previous judge who presided at the assizes held immediately
previous to the election that the House of Commons
dhe had
ordered an inquiry to take place in such borough, an t
judge would then nominate two banisters who were not
members of parliament to conduct such inquiry. He had
referred to the senior judge of wise as the nominating party,
because he could not be suspected of having any political
bias. The commissioners so appointed would, after having
investigated the matter on the spot, report to the house
whether bribery wits usual in the borough or only casual.
With respect to the general proposition, he proposed to •apply
the principle of the bill to all boroeghs hi which the mem-
ber had been unseated for corrupt practices. The house had
already had to &elite whether new writs should issue in
cases where bribery and corrupt practices had been estab•
lished, and had granted writs ; but the general opinion ap-
peared to be that further inquiry was necessary. It' the bill,
of which he had just stated the outline, had then been in
force, the election committee would have reported as to
whether further inquiry was needed, and the matter would
have been referred either to a select committee or to commis-
sioners appointed by the house. What, in his opinion, was
the defect in the act he had formerly introduced was, that
the committee were obliged to stop short, and were unable,
except in one case, to ascertain whether the bribery had been
partial or aeneral. These then were the general provisions of
the bill. He proposed to introduce clauses giving indemnity to
witnesses who might be examined before the committee or
eommissioners, and also providing that such witnesses should
not be called up on any ulterior penal proceeding. It had
always been necessary, in his opinion, to give indemnity in
cues of bribery, and tire or six years ago he bad consulted
some of the mos; eminent lawyers on the subject. It was
not, however, thought advisable to proceed no far, as it might
lead to great misrepresentation, and although eventually re-
sulting in great goad, might, at the :commencement, produce
much incouvenience. lie should now move that the order
be discharged with a view to subsequently moving that leave
be given to bring in a bill to prevent bribery and corrupt
practices at borough elections.
Col. SIBTIIORP opposed the introduction of the con-
templated measure, and wondered that the noble lord should
waste the time of the house by introducing a bill which he
could not have the slightest hope of carrying through during
the present session. It was sheer absurdity, seeing that there
were so many questions of greater importance requirins con-
'aeration; There were the miscellaneous esutithmeatneost,,oic.:l

wanted inquiry, why not begin with
b"• own constituents in
the City of London ? The small boroughs had been tried and
sentenced, and it was against the law of England to try a
man twice for the same offence. But there was London still
crying for inquiry. The noble lord, however, although a
puritan in appearance, was certainly not a puritan in heart.
(A laugh.) While attacking the small towns he should not
neglect his own overgrown borough.
The Earl of LINCOLN said he had understood the noble
lord to say, that when an election committee appointed
in the usual form deemed further inquiry necessary, they
could have the option of a select committee or a commis
sinn. That might do for future cases ; but two cassia Derby
and Leicester, were pending, and the respective committees
had urged the necessity for further inquiry. He thought
that the bill should contain special provisions for these cases.
The other point on which he wished for information was,
where bribery had been proved sufficiently to incapacitate
the borough, but not brought hone to the sitting member
or his agents, so as to affect his seat, whether inquiry would
be prosecuted as regarded tke borough. He thought that a
provision on this point would also be essential.
Lord J. RUSSELL taid that the bid provided that the
house might app int select committees or commissioners, to I
inquire into all the cases in the schedule of the bill of the
PL:.•
to the second question, if the bill did not include the cases
mentioned by the noble lord, he should take care that words
sufficiestly comprehensive were inserted.
Mr. STAFFORD hoped that as writs had been allowed to
issue for the small boroughs, Derby and Leicester would not I
continue interdicted.

bill did not give tlaa commissioners pooar todisfranchise.
That would be h matter for future consideration.
Mr. STAFFORD inquired again respecting the Derby
and Leicester writs.
Lord J. RUSSELL said that the house had resolved on
Monday that the writs do not issue befrsre the 15th August.
That would be the proper time to moaner the question.
Mr. STAFFORD said he meant to-morrow (this day)
to move that the Speaker do issue his writs for both
borouehs on the 15th of August.
Leave was then given to bring in the bill.
BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE.
In answer to a question from Mr. Newdegate,
Lord J . RUSSELL said that he meant to go on with the
Ineumasered Estates (Ireland) Bill, and if not finished that I
evening would proceed with it tomorrow (this day). After
that, it was his intention to take the Lords' amendments to
the Seim:eel Tenants (Ireland) Bill.
PRIVILEGES.
'tdr. OSBORNE complained that on a former evening the
hon. baronet the member for Marylebone nail accused the
hon. member for Mayo of having wilfully abandoned his in-
tention of bringing the Irish church temporalities under the
notice of the house. Now the fact was that thehon. m
ember
for Mayo was seriously indisposed, and had been soree
weeks.
INCLeMBERED ESTATES (IRELAND) BILL.
The order of the day for the committee on the above bill
was read.
Sir G. GREY expressed his hope that preliminary discus-
sion would be avoided, so as that the clauses and their
amendments might be disposed of.
Mr. li EN LEY doubted very much whether the hill would
effect the object in view. Tho otaect was to keep clear of
the Court of Chancery; and he feared that the bill would
throw the estates more helplessly into that court than ever.
The house went into committee.
On clause I—the interpretation clause—
Col. DUNNE proposed an amendment to prevent the sale
of the fee simple to pay off incumbrances on the life interest,
which, after some di•cussion, was negatived, the boa. and
gallant member intimating that he would raise the question
and take a division upon it at a more fitting opportunity,
which the Solicitor-General said would present itself on the
30th clause.
The clause was then agreed to.
On clause 2,
The SOLICITOR GENERAL moved to omit the words
which limited the sale of the property under a decree of the
Court of Chancery, unless it be sold for a sum which should
be sufficient to pay off all incumbrances on the estate. No
such limit existed as to sales by private arrangement.
The amendment was agreed to.
Mr. at`CULLAOII. proceeded to state the object of the
amendment of which he had given notice. The bill, as at
present framed, limited the right of petitioning for a sale to
the owner of the estate, to the first incumbrancer, and
iothe
mortgagee who might hold the title-deeds in his possessn.
He was desirous of removing such limitation, and permitting
any incumbrancer to institute proceedings in a court of
equity for a gale. The partii s on whom the clause exclu-
sively conferred the power were precisely those who ir
general were least disposed to sell. (Hear.) The owner of
an estate heavily incumbered has ceased too frequently to
retain any direct interest in its poseession, excepting that
-which be valued very naturally, and not und.servedly,
the consideration and position which had come to him by
inheritance, and which, with the inheritance, he is conscious
that he must lose. (Hear, hear.) To expect such • man to
initiate proceedings in equity for a sale would be idle. Were
-the Ligheat price realised and all his creditors paid off, the
balance in moneys numbered that would remain could not
enable him to maintain what is familiarly termed his position
in the county; and if he happened to be but tenant for life,
the interat annually payable to him out of court upon this
residuum would be wholly inadequate to maintain him in
that social sphere in which he had hitherto moved.
(Hear, hen.) If you waited until the insol-
vent, or nearly insolvent, owner petitioned for a sale,
you might wait for ever. Then asto the first incumbrancer,
he believed it would be found that the first incumbrancer
.familyay speaking, a person holding a charge under
settlement, or an old judgment on a bond. In Ire-
land these early charges and old judgments were looked upon
as about the best investment that could be had. They were
transferable, and always brought their full price whenever
they were sold. They were valued like old pictures, which the
pessomor was always the less disposed to part with because
he knew that they would always bring him his own money.
If, therefore, lands were never brought to sale until persons
no circumstanced filed petitions in equity to raise the amount
of these charges, sales to any considerable extent there would
never be. (Cheers.) As for the principal mortgagees, who
had the title-deeds in their possession, those parties had
usually taken very good care either to buy up prior ineum•
brances before they lent any considerable sum to the owner,
Or to leave • &efficient margin of rent to secure the payment
of their interest. Sometimes these parties were wealthy in-
dividuals who had lend their money in this way ass perma-
nently safe and profitable investment. Sometimes
they were joint-stock companies or money-lenders;

Clauses 64, 66, 66, were agreed to.
On clause 67.
Mr. F. O'CONNOR tendered his thanks to the honour-
able and learned SolicitouGeneral for the improvements he
had made in the bill, whioh in its present form would, he
prophesied, turn out one of the best measures that had ever
been passed for Ireland. (Hear, hear.)
The Earl of LINCOLN rejoiced also at the progress of
the bill, which he looked upon as a measure to enable the
Irish landlords to do their duty to their tenants. (Hear,
hear.) He trusted that if ever the English landlords were
placed in a similar unfortunate position, a similar measure
would be dealt out to them. (Hear, hear.)
The clams was then agreed to, as were the remaining
clauses.
Mr. GROGAN brought up a clause giving compensation
to certain clerks of the Irish courts, whose interests would
be prejudiced b 7 the passing of the bill.
The SOLICI f OR-0 EN EItA L, opposed the clause.
After a desultory conversation, the clause was negatived
without a division.
Mr. B. OSBORNE moved a clause giving the Irish owner
the same power as is given to the Scotch by the Entail Act,

Their position as mat lamentable. Improvement was un-
known, and nape from evil impossible. Year after year
the condition of the embarrassed property grew worse, until,
in the sad progress of deterioration, the time came when,
every other duty of proprietorship having ceased to be dis-
charged, the collection of the rents devolved upon a receiver ;
and whet misery and demoralisation was comprehended in
that fatal phrase, it would hardly be necessary to explain. I
Now what was the condition of the mains incumbrancer ?
lie watched the gradual deterioration of the estate on which
he had lent his money with a very different eye. The
eventual danger of a di &iced fund was ever present to his
mind. If he were enabled to do so, be would institute ro-
ceedings for a sale before it was too late. By doing m
op he
would do a real service to the improvident owner, andhich
an
inestimable benefit to the tenantry of the portion w
might be sold. The amendment which he had the honour
to move would clothe the minor incumbrancer with this
rds
power; and it would, he believed, go far owa
the gradual encouragement of what wee ed desirable,
but what, at present, did not practically. existlan in
Ireland—a market for land. People talked of bringing
into the market. Into what market ? If they meant by a
msrket the competition of small capitals for moderate por-
tions of land he could understand it ; but if they meant •
forcing of large estates unbroken and in great numbers sud-
denly to sale, then be would tell them that the only practical
effect would be to depreciate most ruinously the present
value of land, and to hand over a vast portion of the soil
of Ireland to a class of mere land jobbers. (Cheers.)
He was sure that such was In no respect the
purpose or aim which the framers of the bill
had in view. But he very much feared that such
would to some extent be its unintentional tendency, if some
means were not bound of permitting portions of estates rather
than entire estates to be sold in liquidation of minor incum-
bream. He had heard with the deepest interest the speech
delivered on a former day by the right hon. baronet (Sir J.
Graham) ; and by nothing was be snore struck than by the
caution with which he guarded his strenuous support
throw
of the
principle of the bill from any approval of recklessly
ing more land upon the market than the capital of Ireland
could appropriate, and thus incurring the incalculable evil of
general depreciation. The amendment would restore the
second clause to the condition in which it stood when the
bill was originally introduced into the other house last year;
and he earnestly hoped, therefore, that her Majesty's go-
vernment would not refuse to adopt it. (Cheers)
Sir J. GRAHAM, being most anxious to forward the bill
before the house, was not desirous of instituting any discus-
sion which would consume time ; but he felt bound to state
his concurrence -n the views of the boo. gentleman who had
last addressed them respecting the sale of estate. in large
masses. By the Stamp Act as it existed there was a sitting
effected by selling large portions, while the small sales were
obieructed by its operation. Ile thought that the object of
the act would be considerably promoted if an alteration were
effected in this state of things.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL was sorry tie could not se-
cede to the amendment, and he thought the house would see
that the retention of the wor,li proposed to be omitted,
instead of interfering with the operation of the hill, would
be beneficial.

Mr. NAPIER said that he was strongly of opinion that

Lora Chancellor to frame proper orders anrules resp

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL thought it right to leave
technical details as much as pos,ible to the Lord Chancellor;
but he was at the same time opposed to delegating to others
the powers of right belonging to thst house. It was pro-
vided by the fifth section of the set that every petition
brought before the court should set forth the estate of the
petitioner, his interest in the land or lease, and the uses and
limitations or trusts to which the land or lease stood limited;
also all incumbrances by which it was affected. Now he was
sure the house would see that it was necessary to make this
compulsory by a section of the act, in order to economise the
time of the court by making it impossible for persona to come
before it with fictitious cases.
Mr. B. OSBORNE believed that unless the bill were

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said that such an arrange-

est desire of the framers of this bill had been to avoid throw-
ing additional expenses on these incumbered estates.

On clause 30,
Col. DUNNE said the was the first of a very important
series of clauses, which he thought ought not to be discussed
in so thin a house. lie would, therefore, move that the
chairman do report progress.
Sir G. GREY thought a mill house was the most proper
for such a discussion.
Mr. NAPIER suggested that the discussion might take

(" No, no.")
Mr. OSBORNE said the postponement of these clauses
would be in effect to give up the bill.
After a conversation
Col. DUNNE withdrew his motion.
Clauses 30 to 33 were then agreed to.
On clause 34,
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said he was most anxious
to secure a bona fide sale when tele took place, and at
due
the
same time to avoid uenecessary expense. To secure
notice of the sale being given he w
hadould peredroposea ancavea amet
to
nd-
ment, entitling every persowho ent
personal notice at has abode, thereby enabling him to take
imps to restrain the sale if he thought proper, and giving
him the right to know the price at which it was proposed to
sell.
Sir J. GRAHAM thought this clause one which required
the utmost attention. It was most desirable that, in cases of
sale, the full value should be obtained, sad all collusion pre-
vented. For this purrse it had been suggested that a pub-
lie sale by auction would be the best. (Hier, hear.) The
suggestion that the sale should be in the master's °nice, with
a right to the office to open the bidding, he did not approve ;
but to sale by auction there appeared no objection.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL doubted whether a public
auction would be a security against fraud. lie thought
frauds might be perpetrated under a sale by auction as
well as under one by private contract. To place the
power of sale on the best footing, the parties ought
to have the option of selling either by. auction or by private
contract, as was done in aU cases in this country where
trustees had the power of sale. To bind up the parties either
to one mode or the other was injurious. By making it the
interest of the vendors to sell fur the largest feasible amount
the best security against fraud was supplied. Besides the
cues iu which fraud could arise were comparatively, 'few ;
for the instances would be very rare where it was the inte-
rest of the party selling to do so at • reduced price. As ad
ditional security, he proposed to introduce a clause making
I all the pieties to the sale liable in the case of fraud ; and
thus the buyer in such a case would acquire no title, and
both he and the seller, as well as the solicitor, would be
liable for the amount by which the full value exceeded the
sale prices. Probably a desirable course would be, Ater all the
incumbrancers had received notice of the sale, that the estate
should be offered by auction, with liberty to the er, if
no sale were effected, to offer it by private contra sellct. I3ut
even this might be productive of inconvenience ' • and upon
the whole he thought it would be best to leave tbo manner
of the sale entirely open.
Sir J. GRAHAM was not quite satisfied that it would
always be to the interest of the vendor to obtain the best pos-
sible price. (Hear, hear.) Where a mortgagee effected a
sale he might-have very little regard for the interest of the
heir in remainder. The uniform view of the law was that
a public auction was the beat means of securing a fair sale.
He would not now press his suggestion, but hoped it would
receive the consideration of the learned Solicitor-General.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL promised to endeavour to
frame a clause which should meet the views of the right
hon. baronet.
Mr. MULLINS said that ao prudent trustees would now
effect a sale by private contract until alter they had offered
the property by auction.
Mr. SADLEIR thought it should be left quite open as to
whether the public or private sale should be first tried. At
present scarce any mortgagee in Ireland had a power of
sale by private contract; and all judgment creditors must
necessarily resort to an auction under the powers of the
court. This incurred great expense, particularly where the
property was small ; and during the last two years there had
been a growing disposition to avoid those sales.
Col. DUNNE did not believe that many sales in fee
simple would be operated under this bill ; it would princi-
pally affect the smaller gentry, few of whom were holders
in fee.
Mr. OSBORNE was certain that great frauds would be
committed unless the utmost publicity was given to he sales.
Mr. MONSELL feared that 'public sale wouldinjuriouely
affect small properties.
The clause, as amended, was thee agreed topes were clauses
up to 60 inclusive.
On clause 61 being put,

which wan opposed by the SOLICITOR-GENERAL, and
negatived.
Mr. BOUVERIE moved a clause, the object of which was
to simpl.fy the conveyance of property under the act.
The SOLICITOR-OHNERAL objected, on the ground
that the clause was unnecessary, as the bill already made
the simple conveyance of the seller a complete conveyance

Of title.
The clause was negatived.
The following clause, moved by the same hon. member,
was adopted' " And be it enacted, that in citing this act in
other acts, and in legal instruments, it shall be sufficient to
use the expression, The Irish Incumbered Estates Act.' "
Mr. BOUVERIE then moved the insertion of a clause to

and wile for a year) with which conveyance. by

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER requested
that the clause might be postponed, to give him an opportu-
nity to center with the Stamp-office. He concurred in the
object, admitting that the stamp duties as at present imposed
I were calculated to prevent the transfer of small properties.
Mr. lIENLEYshouId object to any relaxation of the stamp
duties in regard to Ireland which was not extended equally
to England.
' The clause was then post ned po, and the preamble having
been passed the holm resumed, and the bill was reported
and ordered to be reprinted with the alterations, and re-
committed on Mond
CHay next.
URCH RATES.
Mr. B. OSBORNE postponed his motion for a bill to
abolish church rates till next session.
EXCISE EXACTIONS.
Mr. OROGAN moved for a select committee to examise
into and report upon the claims of the spirit grocers of Ire.
land for repayment of the moneys illegally and wrongfully
exacted from them by the excite officers in that country,
under the Act 6& 7 Will. IV., c. 38. It appeared that a
verdict had been obtained fur the repayment of these over-
charges which had been refused b- the exchequer. The
Treasury had bun memorialised ori the subject, but in vain.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER observed
that as the facts were already known, a committee of inquiry
was unnecessary.
The SPEAKER interposed, The right hon. gentlemen
could not enter into an explanation of the grounds of refusal.
Did the crown refuse it ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—It did.
The motion was consequently not put.
CORN IN BOND.
Mr. LABOUCHERE said that in committee to-morrow
(this day) he would move a resolution for continuing the
acts regulating the grinding of corn in bond, so long as the
present corn law existed. As these acts expired in August,
this resolution of renewal became nee, nary.
The house then adjourned at live minutes past one.

phieveisint,

to be difficult of _ _., and dear in risk
arid price.. Freesia was evidently first tempted to it
by the ides that popular effervescence and anti-mo-
narchima might be diverted into a oarlike channel,
and democrats, like the French republicans of 1794,
converted into disciplined soldiers. This idea has
been abandoned. And princes have come to think
'lines a more favourable state for the recovery of at
'Nebo certain portion of their rights and influence.
Tbe difficulty, therefore, in concluding the diffe-
ream between Denmark and Germany, lies not
lso
much with princes or cabinets as with the peope.
And the question is, how is Schleswig to be disposed
of, so as to content the Schl:swigers ? The best
system for all parties would no doubt be that long
since p
een the
drawing a line of separation
between the Danish and the German portions of
Schleswig, annexing the former to the administrative
system of Denmark, and adjoining the
Holstein. This would have the advantage of
not only settling present differences, but affording
a clear way towards the settlement of the
eventual and more serious difference, which must; be
opened with the question of succeseion at the termina-
tion of the preeent direct line of sovereigns. Both
Denmark and Holstein should prefer drawing a line
of demarcation at once. The idea, however, hurts the
pride of the Schleswigers., extinguishes them asant
a
duchy, and wounds so grievously that predomin
sentiment of the day, national and local pride, that
the repugnance of the inhabitants will probably cause
this project to be rejected.
There remains, therefore, bat to place things pretty
much on their old footing, and allow separate estates
and administrations for the duchies, under tho per-
sonal sovereignty of the King of 1) EN MARK. We fear,
that this alone is possible, and it is acceptable as put-
ting an end to the quarrel of the hour. It, however,
leaves as imminent as ever, the future contingency of
war, when the question of suceession is opened, or when
the action of Germany, as a united state, shall call
upon all its dependencies to support it in pretensions,'
or in war, against a rival race. ibis will depend much
on the success of German efforts to found unity of
empire and a common bond of nationality.
Germany in awakening to a popular sense of its
,
national unity and independence, has tiready touched
and awaken( d the counter-sensit airy
and repulsion of
three races—the Italian, tie ficlavonian, and the Scan-
dinavian. Its con'-act with the French is too old and
too 1°,7 °°°'.sted a source of rivalry to awaken sus-
cePtt°'.ity or dispute at present. As to Italy, differ-
er.ce of race, of language—on either side of the great
barrier of the Alps—cannot but fix upon the true line of
separation. With respect to Scandinavian and Sclavo-
than, a wise policy should have prompted the Germans
to conciliate and unite, rather than either repudiate or
oppress them. But wisdom has not prevailed, and the
very first act of German governments, under the in-
fluence of revolution, has been to alienate, to crush, or
to invade these neighbour and kindred races.
To have made an ally of Denmark was as possible
as it was politic for Germany. Late years had
drawn closer the bonds between German and
Scandinavian, and letters bad almost effected a
fraternal union, when politics interfered to
drive them violently asunder. The consequence has
been the fraternisation of the Scandinavian powers
amongst each other, with the protection of Russia
tl rown over all, in !such a way. as to create for
Germany a potent rival and foe in the north, calcu-
lated not only to act as an important check upon her
in case of war, but even in peace to obstruct what the
Germans most fondly aim at, the development of
their country as a trading and a naval power.

Prese".tell to parliament; several selections of
',',apers relating to emigration have already been
received by the legislature ; and a consider-
able number more are in active preparation. But
government have not yet hinted at any measure in
contemplation to afford increased facilities to the
able-bodied and industrious unemployed to
find their way to the colonies ; and so far
from thew. bring any likelihood of an additional
government measure being submitted to the House of
Commons this session, there is every reason to believe
that several which have already made considerable
progress arc to be withdrawn. Yet there never has
been wit!-in our recollection a time at which the in-
dustrious classes of the community have been more
generally impressed with the conviction of the
advantageous prospects which open to them in the
colonies, or more anxious to avail themselves of them.
Since government, therefore, obstinately neglects
to do its duty, there is nothing for it brit to supply
the defect by the exertions of private philanthropy.
The worst of it is that all such amateur exertions are
nercssarily intermittent and limited in their sphere of
action ; and there is good reason to apprehend that
this activity on the part of private individuals may
,urage government to persevere in its do-nothing

policy.
Government has it in its power to facilitate
emigration without in the slightest degree trench-
ing upon the legitimate field of private enterprise.
In all our colonies, and especially in the Aus-
tralian, the waste lands afford an almost inexhaustible
fund for affording free passages to emigrants, but
government will not adopt the only policy by which
this fund may be made available to its full extent.
The proceeds of the sale of waste lands in the colo-
nies ought to be devoted exclusively to promoting
the purposes of colonisation. At present a large
proportion is deducted and allotted to defray-
ing the ordinary purposes of government.
This portion of the ways and means might be with-
drawn without incurring the necessity of adding a
single penny to the annual taxation of any colony by
the sacrifice of the civil list. The civil list is a por-
tion of the annual expenditure withdrawn from the
control of the local legislatures, in order that the im-
perial government miy always have wherewithal to
reward agents who have been serviceable to them in
this country by lucrative appointments in the colo-
nies. There is no colonial grievance that creates
half so much exasperation as these home appoint-
ments held in defiance of public opinion in
the colonies by a set of men utterly de-
void of official aptitude, and uniformly con-
ducting themselves with supercilious petulance
towards the colonists. Leave local elective legisla-
tures to decide how many. officials and of what kind
are necessary, and to devise the means of remunerat-
ing them adequately, and local government will be
conducted better and at less expense than now, and
the entire land-fund left free for the legitimate opera-
tions of colonisation. These are the construction of
roads to lay open all parts of the colony to
settlement, the construction of piers, and other things '
necessary to impart completeness to natural harbours ; '
and the providing of free passages for labouring II
emigrants. The public works we have named will
&fiord security against the labour market being at
any time glutted, and the continuous influx of
labourers will draw capitalists after them.
Government, besides having it in its power, at least 1
in the Australian colonies, to make the whole land
I fund available for colonising purposes, has it also in
its power to accelerate the increase of that fund.
The construction of roads and harbours, by rendering
all parts of the colony accessible for settlement, and I
the relinquishment of all interference in local govern-'
sent beyond the appointment of governors, by pro-
moting economy and efficacy in civil administration,
will augment the prosperity and increase the general
attractiveness of the colonies. The abolition of the
, navigation laws and all other remnants of restriction
on trade will accelerate the influx of capital and the
development of internal resources. And in propor-
tion to the increasing wealth of each colony will be
the increasing demand for waste lands to reclaim,
and the augmentation of the land fund.
These are the legitimate means within the power of
government to afford increased facilities to emigra-
tion. But that anything will be done towards them
in the present session is beyond all reasonable hope.
The measure for the partial repeal of the navigation
laws has been withdrawn. And as for what regards
the other measures indicated above, the task of taking
a first step towards their introduction was left to be
attempted by a private member, and he has allowed
his opportunity to escape him. Sir WILLIAM MOLES-
WORTII'd motion, like the bill for altering the naviga-

LONDON, FRIDA Y. JULY 14.
We pointed out, some time ago, the wonderful pre-
dominance of sentiments of peace, influencing even
the most revolutionary governments, and the most am-
bitious and unquiet personages; so that in places
where actual war was flagrant, spirit was wanting to
continue it, the very behigerents seizing with eager-
ness every overture for terminating hostilities. Since
then, the mediating powers have succeeded in bringing
Danes and Germans to conclude an armistice ; the
Austrians, too, have made an offer to the Milanese
and to CHARLES ALBERT, which has been at least re-
luctantly, if determinately, refused.
Peace at all events has been restored in northern
i Europe. The German ports are once more opened
to their shipping. And the inconvenience of the
late brief suspension of trade, inflicted on Germany
by a very inferior power, will have the effect of teach-
ing the people of tho latter country to beware of in-
dulging a hasty ebullition of choler or of pride.
What chiefly menaced to aggravate the quarrel, both
on the Eider and the Adige, was the interference of
the central or new imperial German power, that has
sprung up in Frankfort. This, however, has now been,
on the contrary, turned into an element of peace by
the election of a prince, at once so experienced, so
pacific, and so respected as the Archduke JOHN. But
for his election we should have had many doubts of
the German parliament ratifying the Prussian armis-
tice, but the voice of the now lieutenant of the
Empire must be listened to in the present instance.
The terms on which the armistice has been con-
k ludedby the Danish and Prwisian governments evince
that both parties were anxious to come to accommoda-
tion. The King of DENMARK, although guaranteed
against any ulterior efforts of the Germans by the
promised assistance of Russia, has nevertheless con-
sented to the evacuation of Schleswig by his
troops, and to that duchy remaining in the
hands of its present provisional government.
Had the King of DENMARK shown a similar spirit
of conciliation at first, the war would not have broken
out, since it was his summoning the Schleswigers to
send their deputies to Copenhagen and be absorbed
in the Danish parliament, with his subsequent mili-
tary occupation of Schleswig, which led, first, to the
resistance of the Schleswigers, and then to the un-
warrantable interference of Prussia.
The difficulties hitherto have sprang from the
precipitancy of the princes and govenime-'
on both sides, who each not only
sisted in their false steps, but were determin,
to reap glory and prestige from their daring.

PARIS, THURSDAY, 11.30 A.M.
The same general uneasiness, and the same sinister
rumours which preceded the ion of 23rd
June and the event of the 15th explosion
May, havethe been re-
marked here for several days, but they are even of a
more serious uature than formerly. The same re-
spectable organs of the press vainly attempt to dis-
semble their fears, and tranquillize the public by ex-
pressing hopes and confidence which they evidently
do not entertain.
Three days ago General Changarnier, commander-
in-chief of the national guards of Paris, issued
an order to the colonels of the several le-
gions to meet him with the principal officers of
his staff at appointed hours yesterday at the
Mairies of their respective arrondissements to confer
with him on matters of urgency. These conferences
took place yesterday, and the subject of them now is
known to have been to concert with the several com-
manders of the legions what measures should be
taken in each arrondissement in the event of another
attempt at insurrection. The importance attached by
General Changarnier to these conferences has been
manifested by a strong reprimand, published in the
Moniteur, against one of the colonels, who, being pre-
vented from attending personally, sent his lieutenant-
colonel to the conference.
The rumours afloat are of course very various. The
reported attempt is assigned for to-morrow the 14th,
being the anniversary of the taking of the Bastille.
It will be remembered that when the five sous ban-
quet was adjourned, to-morrow was the day assigned
for it. That was to have been the occasion of collect-
ing together upwards of 100,000 operatives, the leaders
of the plot intending that they should fall upon
the rest of society and dictate such terms to
them as would secure the triumph of communism.
We hear now on every side that the blouses say they
are now game and game with the government; they
had the day in Februar the government in June,
le 14 out'sjouerons la belle!" (On the 14th we will
Iplay the conquering game).
The following are samples of the reports in circu-
lation. One is that a general murder of the members
of the assembly is intended, means being organised
of executing this simultaneously at their respective
places of abode. Another is that an organised assault
will be made on the boarding schools where young
persons of the one and the other sex are educwed,
that these shall be captured and kept as hostages
to be delivered up only on the paymei.t of a ransom
in money, and the concession of such political mea-
sures as the insurgents may require. Other reported
projects have for their object the blowing up of por-
tions of the capital by means of gunpowder deposited
in the quarries, the catacombs, sewers, pipes, cellars,
and other excavations which already exist, besides
excavations expressly executed for the purpose. It is
understood that the Pensions and other establishments
for education have been placed under careful surveil-
lance.
Again, it is said that a column of 40,000 ouvriers,
without work, intend to march to the National
Assembly, and demand peremptorily to be fed or to
be shot.
The provisional municipal council which has just
been appointed met for the first time on Tuesday at
the Hotel de Ville. M. Marrast, the Mayor of Paris,
read to them a report giving a disastrous account of
the financial situation of the city. At the revolution
of February the revenues underwent a sudden
fall, and on the abolition of the octroi on
meat by the provisional government they de-
clined as much as 50 per cent. There are, it seems,
only of four millions of francs in the treasury to meet
the expenses until the 20th of August. The Mayor
proposes the reestablishment of the octroi on but-
chers' meat and the raising an immediate loan of 25
millions, a measure which was postponed under the
last government.
The sub-committee of finances has agreed upon a
report on postal reform, recommending a uniform
rate of postage of 20 centimes or 2d. English.
A project is proposed to enable the regular
troops to carry the barricades without the ter-
rible destruction of life to which they have been
hitherto exposed. This contrivance consists of move-
able shields of a magnitude equal to the head of the
column which may be advanced before the column,
quite up to the barricade. Such a contrivance would
render the fire of the insurgents behind the barricade
innocuous, and the column once at the barricade, the
parties would be on equal terms.

in the Dusseldorf Gazette of this day that a number

new troops who were to be quartered there. Finding, how

and Herr lieckscher, Central Minister of Foreign Affain.
The Posen Gazette brings the intelligence that all the
Polish prisoners implicated in the late insurrection in the
above duchy have been, with the exception of Kluge*
set tree. General Von Brunneck appears, moreover, to be
really desirous of pacifying that part of Poland, and, as a
first step, has introduced a rigid system of discipline amtfirl
his German troops. He has also ordered the disbandmesti
the German national guard and free corps of Posen. If the
reorg .niaation of the duchy is to be effected (as repeatedly
promised) in a national (Polish) point of view, it is mon
clear that such measures as the foregoing are strictly nee*
sary. Mieroslawski is quietly living in Posen.
AUSTRIA.—The Vienna journals of the Bth have
come to hand.
The Vienna committee of safety demand that Conti
Windischgratz and Leo Thun be brought to trial
for their recent conduct in Prague. Ministers, how-
