IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—MoNnsr, APRIL 29.
IN the Roust of COMMUNK yesterday, Lord
STANLICY, in reply to a question from Mr. Hors-
man, stated that he had reason to believe that the
propositions for a conference in London on the
subject of Luxemburg would be accepted both by
France and Prussia, and that the question was in
a fair way of being speedily and amicably arranged.
He contradicted the rumour that her Majesty's
government had expressed an opinion on the sub-
ject, but they had expressed a strong opinion that
the matter should be settled peaceably, and had
stated that if war were resorted to, the position of
England would be one of strict impartiality.
Mr. LAINO gave notice of his intention in com-
mittee on the Representation of the People Bill to
move that no borough containing loss than ten
thousand population at the last census shall return
more than one member, but that instead there
should be given a third member to boroughs other
than metropolitan which have a population of over
150,000 ; also that a second member be given to
boroughs whose population exceeds 50,000.
The adjourned debate on the second reading of
the Tenants' Improvement (Ireland) Bill was re-
sumed by
Mr. GRZOORY, who said there were three cardinal
defects in the bill—first, that it is not applicable
' to a large proportion of the agricultural classes in
' Ireland ; second, that it completely ignores and
passes by the great cause of discontent in Ireland,
namely, instability of tenure ; and third, that it
needlessly interferes with the rights of property.
No bill could possibly effect a settlement of this
question that did not provide for the stability of
tenure. He moved as an amendment, "'What
without prejudging the second reading of this
bill, this house is of opinion that no enactment for
the settlement of the landlord and tenant question
in Ireland can be deemed satisfactory which does
not provide for the encouragement of leases in that
country."
Mr. BRYAN seconded the amendment. He warned
the house that this measure would not settle the
question. Land let on lease in Ireland fetched
more rent than other land. Why, then, was not
more land let on lease? Because the tenants would
then be independent of the landlord, and could no
longer be driven to the poll by the agent. If this
bill passed they would stop leasing altogether. The
bill was rather a feeble bid for popularity. It was
a bill which at first sight appeared as if it could do
no harm, but which would in practice be mis-
chievous.

Mr. SANDFORD believed that the best panacea for
Ireland would be to let her alone. If they could
close the notice book against legislation on the
subject for ten years, and teach the Irish tenants to
rely on their own sagacity and industry, they
would, at the expiration of that period, find a great
improvement in the condition of the agricultural
classes of Ireland. He looked with suspicion on
such a bill from the present government, who had
opposed other bills of a similar character. It was
a reactionary bill, opposed to every principle of
political economy.
Captain Warm believed there would be agitation
on this question so long as half measures were
offered to the people. In some isolated cases the
bill might be useful, but in the aggregate the
tenants would not be willing to avail themselves
of it.

Mr. M`Kswx.i supported the bill. He admitted
it would not settle the question, but it was an im-
portant step in that direction.
Mr. BAuWaLL and Mr. SYNAN opposed the
bill.

Mr. P. URQIIHART thought this, like the reform
question, should be dealt with without reference to
party. The bill fell far short of what was required,
but it was unwise to reject it because it did not
contain everything that was desired.
Mr. P. DAWSON did not think the agitation in
Ireland would be allayed by this or any other
measure, for there were those in that country who
would never be content with anything short of
confiscation. He thought the system of tenant
right in Ulster beneficial, and approved of the
system of 19 years' leases in Scotland.
The O'Dosoontrs said the bill was founded on
the assumption that the tenants in Ireland have
not, and ought not to have, any interest in the
land. The foundation of all the evils of Ireland
was the tenancy at will system. To ensure the
prosperity of Ireland they must give security of
tenure. He should vote for the amendment.
Mr. Pim did not think the bill would meet the
difficulty ; but in itself it was a good measure.
He suggested that this and the Land Improvement
and Leasing Bill should be referred to a select
committee.

Sir F. HEYOATE looked upon the bill as involv-
ing principles destructive of property. The rela-
tions of landlord and tenant ought to be left to the
parties making the contract. At the same time he
would give the landlord no special privilege, but
he should have the same remedy as other credi-
tors. He hoped the bill would be withdrawn.
The discussion was continued by Mr. Mansell,
Lord C. Hamilton, the O'Conor Don. Mr. Read,
and Mr. Kennedy.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for IRELAND defended
the bill. It was not offered as a panacea, but as a
moderate and practical measure. It was opposed
because it would take away the cry which had been
made so much of in Ireland by agitators of com-
pensation to tenants. The bill was to enable go-
vernment to advance money on easy terms to
tenants, repayable by instalments extending over
35 years, the tenant, if he were evicted, retaining
a charge on the land for his improvements. At the
same time the rights of the landlord were pre-
served. The amendment, he submitted, was not
germane to the bill.
Mr. Su ttivaii remarked that if the bill were
not intended to settle the question, the government
were dealing with the question in an illusory
manner. The amendment, he submitted, was ger-
mane to the bill, because the questions of compen-
sation to the tenant and security of tenure were
inseparably connected.
Mr. GitsvEs moved the adjournment of the
debate.

Mr. C. FORTFACCE opposed the adjournment.
Lord Nun was willing to go to a division. He did
not think the amendment was intended to defeat
the bill, and he thought the question of compen-
sation and leasing ought to be dealt with sepa-
rately ; but if the house should think otherwise, he
should not on that account drop the bill.
After some discussion the motion for adjourn-
ment was withdrawn, and
Mr. SANDFORD moved a further amendment, that
no property shall be charged with the repayment
of loans advanced for the purpose of making im-
provements except such improvements be made
with the cement of the landlord.

The house divided on Mr. Gregory's amendment,
which was negatived by 108 to 104.
On Mr. Sandford's amendment being put,
Lord News opposed it. By the bill the consent
of the landlord was required for everything that
was done on the land, and no injury could by
possibility arise to the landlord from the other im-
provements.

Mr. C. FORTZBCVZ also opposed the amendment.
He complained of the way in which the government
had manipulated the division.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the
right hon. gentleman had given the government
credit for dexterity it did not possess. The dia-
cussion had turned, not on the bill, but on Mr.
Gregory's amendment, and therefore he thought
the debate ought to be adjourned.
Mr. FrrzwiLuaair DICK moved the adjournment
of the debate.

Mr. O'REILLY and other members opposed the
adjournment, but on a division the adjourzunent
was carried by 115 to 97.
The Vice-President of the Board of Trade Bill
passed through committee.
The Customs and Inland Revenue Bill, the
Local Government Supplemental Bill, and the
Land Drainage Supplemental Bill were respectively
read a second time.

Mr. MoNsatt obtained leave to bring in a bill
to amend the Tramways (Ireland) Act, 1860, and
the Tramways (Ireland) Amendment Act, 1861.
The house adjourned at twenty minutes past one.

TATTERSALLS.—MONDAY.
The opening of the subscription room, on Saturday, coupled
with the general exodus of members for Chaster, caused the at-
tendance to be very thin to-day, and as a consequence compere-
tively little business was transacted. For the Chester Clip, Lec-
turer remained at the head of the quotations, and the odds of 4
to 1 were pretty readily taken, but the Investments were limited.
Miss Havelock, llama, and Archimedes were each offered to be
laid against at 8 to 1, and 100 to 7 was the taking price of Bees-
wing and Lucifer. In the coos se of the afternoon, the probabili-
ties of Lecturer and Rama running were mooted, and 3 to 1 was
laid on each for that contingency. Speculation on the
De
was limited. The Sake was backed fer t3OO at 31 to I.ral
Marksmen and Grand Cross were each supported to a moderate
extent at 20 to 1. Quotations as fellow :

The attendance at the clubs wu large, and a fair amount of
}undoes& was transacted. ler the Chester Cup, Lecturer conti-
nued at 4 to 1. but was not backed for any great iunosint of money.
Miss Havelock was in extraordinary fume, as little as 7 to 1
being at one time accepted, but towards the dose a point more
was laid and offered. The demand for Archimedes was also
noticeable, and 10 to 1 was readily accepted tram Oral to last.
Rama had many friends, his closing quotation Wing 11 to 1,
while Deeswlng advanced with rapid strides and found sup-
porters at the With at la to 1. There were irimerous inquiries
after The Rescue, and the odds of 10.1 to 4 were taken readily.
No other noteworthy feature presented itself. The prices at the
clue were:
