whether he meant to introduce a bill this session, and, if so,
how soon for the better regulation of the weights and mea-
sures of Ireland also, whether he meant to introduce a bill
for the amendment of the grand jury laws of that country.
Mr. It. HERBERT raid he had already even notice of a
bill for the fairs and markets in Ireland, which bill

TRANSFER OF LAND.
Sir F. KELLY asked the Attorney-General whether it
wee the intention of her Majesty's government to bring in
say bill for the registration of titles, and the facilitating the
treader of lead

The ATTORNEY•GENERAL said be had hoped to
introduce a bill founded on the report of the real property
commission on the subject of the registration of titles, as he
believed that such a measure would have been most beneficial,
and would have rendered the tranafer of land as easy an that of
government stock or railway shares. He had prepared such •
bill, but great difficulty had been felt u to the proper
principle of legislation in a quarter which was entitled to
the greatest respect, and to which be was bound to defer.
He could not say, therefore, that there was at present any
possibility of the bill being introduced. He was happy,
however, to say that mamma to facilitate the transfer of
land, although of lees extended operation, would shortly be
laid by the Lord Chancellor before the other House of Parlia-
ment. _ _

THE ARMY—WARRANT OF 1854.
General PEEL asked the Under Secretary for War, what
steps were to be taken to remedy the erns which he
admitted on the part of the military authorities hare arisen
from the operation of the warrant of 1864 P
Sir J. RAMSDEN said that the subject had been for some
time under the consideration both of the Wer-office and the
Commander-in-Chief. They were fully aware that the
warrant of 1854 had not answered expectation, but the
difficulties in the way of alteration were so great that the
authorities had not, as yet, been able to corm to any deci-
sion.

ROYAL BRITISH BANK.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he had never hesi-
tated in his intention to carry on a prosecution against those
=WIn the most effective manner. His only doubt Ind
hether he should not also institute other prosecutions
of a similar nature. (Hear, hear.)
THE PRINCESS ROYAL'S MARRIAGE.—ADDRESS
TO THE CROWN.
Lord PALMERSTON—I gave notion yesterday evening
that I should this day move an address to her Majesty, com-
Satinber Majesty on the marriage of the Princess
gAecordlng to the strict rule of the house I could not
that motion until after the order of the day, but perhaps
le themes the house will omelet to give me precedence.
The orders of the day were then
Lord PALMERSTON-81r, I no=arie *perform a duty
which is no less gratifying to me than I am persuaded it will be
soceptable to the house, namely, to move that thin house shall
address her Majesty congratulating her Majesty on the recent
marriage of the Pewee Royal to Prince Ihederick William
of Prussia, than which there has bee no event since the
marriage of her Majesty herself, which has so much enlisted
public feeling, and which has excited so much thereat
throughout the whole British nation. (Hear, hear.) And, '
sir, thee could be no greater proof of that, than the Immense
multitude which, a few clays since, assembled In the streets of
the metropolis amid the Inclemency of a winter's day, with the
mow falling, and a bitter wind, assembled to give a last fare-
well to the Princes Royal on quitting the shores of her
native country. (Hear, hear.) It was, indeed, natural that
the people of this country should feel that interest in any-
thing that related to the Princeton Royal. She was the first.
born child of that marriage which bad excited so much
interest in the nation, and, although the events of childhood
sad of early years are In general not much known to the
woad at large, yet the nation has, by some means or other,
watched and known the progressive development of
the amiable qualities of her royal highness; they
have see how the warmth of her affections has
bun matured by increseing years, and how an
admirable education had formed and cultivated her
Wad (Hear, hear.) Bir, it is often the fate of princes and
nerthat their =reeve are the results of merely poli-
ry:igetnenteo. They are brought together at the altar
havinf known nothing more of each other than such reports
as might have been conveyed of their mutual intellectual
qualities, nor anything of each other's features except such
idea as could be conveyed in a painted miniature. But the
illustrious pair of whom we are now spealMg have been
more fortunate. They indeed belong to that dm of whom
it is said that—

" Gentle eters unite, and in one fate
Their hearts, their fortunes, and their feelings blend."
They have had the advantage of knowing each other for a
considerable period, they have had the mesas of animating
maturely the high qualities that adorn both, and, that
knowledge of character, and the esteem which is founded on
that knowledge, will, I trust, be the surest foundation for
their future happiness, and the best security for that
domestic joy which I am lure it is the wish cf every one
should endure. A marriage such as that of the Princess
Royal mast realise the fondest wish of an affectionate mother;
and there is this also in the circumstance, that although her
=Highness. is probably destined hereafter to fill a
int and distinguished position, yet, for the present,
there will be nothing in her station to prevent her frequent
visits to this country, or to interfere with those
domestic meetings which are so agreeable in all families.
I feel that I should do injustice to the sentiment sir the house
if I thought any argument neasinryto induce them to come
to as easalmons vote, and I shall anWore conclude by pro-
posies the address which I have placed in the Speaker's
7, " net an humble address he presented to
her Majesty, to congratulate her Majesty on the happy
nuptials el bar Ro_yal Highness the Prince's Royal with Ins
Royal Uighur Prises Frederick William of Prussia ; to
assure her Majesty el the satisfaction which this hones feels
at ma event so gratifying to her Mejesty, and which they
trust will be so conducive to the domestic bananas of hat
royal highne_m ." (Cheers.)
Mr. DISRAELI—Sir, I am sere that her Ilejeety's
faithful Comm saver united in an address to the mown
with mat semplele cordiality than on the ream masks.
