Mr. B. HALL begged the postponement of the ascend

Mr. C. PEARSON appeared in support of the bill, as
the representative of an hoe. member who was necessarily
absent, having undertaken t a move the second reading upon
eionditions which, he was sorry to say, had not been fulfilled.
He expected to have been provided with numerous petitions
in favour of this bill. He cow thought he should exercise
a sound discretion by yielding to the suggestions of the hon.
member, and agreeing to its postponement until the time
when the crown lawyers might he present, and the bill
might receive a full and fair discussion. He moved its post-
ponement till this day with.
Su G. GREY objected to its being eon.i lend that it wee

COPYHOLDS ENFRANCHISEMENT BILL.
Oa the motions that this bill be committed,
Sir G. STRICKLAND moved that it be committed that
day ere* mouths. It was not hi intention to go lato an
argument se to the subject of the enfraechisement of copy.
holds. He joined with viva persons in thinking that it
was time that eopyhold teturs should be done away with,
and that lands sow held ir copyhold should be held as fie-
ki.ds in fee sire.; but his otjecion was to the whole na-
ture of the bill itself ; that he thought it was not fngeed to
Miry out its objects in any one of the provisions which
it costaiced. It was celed a bail for the compulsory enfran-
chisement of copykolde ; but, when they looked into the
prigs pl of the bill, they ft and that there was not one pro-
vision or principle that would lead to the enfranchisement of
oopybold.. This hill did not get aid of eopybold tenon in say
en. Maumee. No public benefit maid be pointed out. It
was not say great public benefit that required this change.
Such a bill ought to be psitd es would enable lords of
manors and private copyholders to eater into mutual at
Pessimists. It was not consistent with the usages of the
house to go into committee on tae bill when all the provi-
des's( the bill were inioneweat with its object. He knew
that the hos. membe r for Co.termouth bad said, "Let me
go fate einmittee, and Iwi 1 alter the inciple of Mk bill
gad every clause of it," but if they went into commai:tee, sad
eat teem this time to Christens, he would Tsetsee to say it
was impassible to make this Rail anythiem alte a just measure
fee the infraneF imminent of eopyholds. He moved that the
bill be committed this day three mo-ths.
Mr. MELLINGS, in re ceding the amendment, said he
felt entwine:4d that the bill coetained pernirions which it
would be impossible to carry out in promise.
11r. 111:11113 said that it must be admitted that the present
ante= of copyhold wee an aessoyanee to every one conceited.
He thought, the. fore, that it would be wise to co in•o cow-
mkt** on hi bill, in order that some proves' might be
mode is the investigatian of the question.
Mr. HENLEY opposed the bill.
Mr. AGLIONBY complained of the course which had
been pursued oat of doors respecting this measure. Circu-
late bad been seat to every mint er of parliament from a
self.eletted committee of what were called lords sad
steward., and containieg, he presorted, aniatentional
representivions as to its scope and objects. Having defended
the various provisions of the bill the boa. member concluded
by esprisiimor his hope that the house would not refuse to go
We committee.
The house divided.

Sir Cr. STRICKLAND monad vote for the amendment, se
calculated to get rid of the bell.

Mr. HUME maid that when the prof*r time came he
should be prepared to vo.e for the abolition of the copyhold
tourer, but they were not involved in the consideration of
the punt clause.
Sir B. HALL said that the principle involved in the
amendment wu too large to be left to the copyhold um.
IlliSlioll,lll. It ought to be made matter for separate con-
sideration. However, if the hon. member would 'collide
names and minerals, he should bora no objection to rots for
the amendment.

Alter Dome further eonversation, the committee divided.
For the clause
For the amendment 47-8
Mr. HENLEY proposed that the application of three-
fourths of the tenants in number and value, in any in nor,
should be required, in order to the compulsion of the ear
franchisement u &gains the lord. It would be most un-
just to allow the tenants to come one by one and claim the
enfranchisement of the:r tenures, leaving the lord of the
manor to keep up the whole machinery t f the manor courts.
Mr. AGLIONBY °pried the amendment, which he
conaide-ed to be subversive of the whole principle of the
bill.

Mr. OOULBURN supported the amendment, which
merely squired that justice oh 1.14 he dcne to the lord as
well se to the tenant.
Biz B. HALL thought that the boa and tenant should be
placed to pmeisoly the same footing; but toe bill went to
tepees conditions as against the lord to compel enfranchise-
ment, but pre no power to the lord to insist upon entran-
thins* as against the tenant.
Sir C. BURRELL called attention to the different cir-
emeastameo in different manors, and asked how the court was
to kept up when the necessary ouster of copyholdere eon•
diluting it were no longer in elistrinct ?
Mr. AOLIONBY replied that in commuting the eopy-
holds the tenants were use arteemarily mode freeholders, and
the courts would still be duly constituted. H. hoped that
them merle would beceom a very useful maehinery of
registration.
Mr. HUME thought it would he unfair to give power
to the tenant to call upon the landlord to enfran-
chise, and not give a similar power to the latter to
gall on the tenant to enfranchise. Ile 'timid of the
importance of providing an easy and efficient system of
teititigetinn, each se existed la Scotland, where land was in
comequenos worth 21 years' perch'', more than is this
country, but he did not wish to mis up that querion with
this bill. If it was proposed to place the landlord OR an
opal footing with the tenant in regard to the onfrariehlae-
Most he +mid support that motion.
Sir 0 STRICKLAND also spoke of the injustice of
mithholdiag from the lord the power to enfrinchim when it
we. given to the tenant.
Mr. AOLIONBY would meet the question of giving the
semi trighM to the lord as the tenant when it arose, but must
haslet upon the principle of giving a sin ;le Makin the
power to compel enf. anctiimment of the wh .le aik, wage
as la the 291 h douse.

Mr. SPOONER hoped the ton. member for Coekeemendli

Mr. AGLIONBY Wilts had been calmly considering the

Mr. SPOONER moved that the chairman report pro-

bit for Cockermouth in the two last divisions. He thought
the bill required abandon, and that it the hon. member pro-

Mr. AGLIONBY hoped the committee would proceed
with the bill. He had already had to submit to two post

and he now deprecated any further postponement, tennis
some hon. gentlemen were attending an agricultural a inner

The motion for repenting progress was withdrawn, end

On clause 4 being proposed,
Bir B. HALL moved, as an amendment, the missies of

three-fourths at least of tee value of such manor shall be
made to the commimionne, then enfranchisement 'hail take

Mr. AGLIONBY opposed the amendment, upon the
pound that it would operate unjustly.
The amendment was withdrawn.
Mr. HUME moved that the chairman report progress, and
salt leave to sit again.
Mr. AGLIONBY said that if this motion were carried, it
would be tandameuat to throwing out the bill for the pre-

SMOKE PROHIBITION BILL.
Mr. BANKES moved the weed readies of this bill,
which bad come down from the Lords, and the object of
which was to remove • very great existing nuisance in Lin-
don and other large towel/. Neat year this metropolis
would he visited by an immense number of foreigners,
and he thought it would be most desirable that they should
be able to see our public boildinps, institutions, and galleries
free from the disadvantage under which they were now seen,
owing to the smoke with whit they were covered.
Mr. A'dermsn COPELAND opposed the second reading of
the bill, b: canoe he did not think what it proposed feasible.
He moved that the bill be read • second time that day three
months.
Mr. HUME seconded the amendment. He thought this
bill an unjust interference with the manufacturing Interests
of the country end even unsuited for the object it professed.
Mr. W. BROWN supported the anteniteent. As for the
objection that smoke was unhealthy, he thought the healthi-
ness of London, the largest city in Esiope, • sufficient
answer to It.
Mr. MU NTZ ales supported the amendment. He did not
think they could ever get rid of snacks when once they made
it.
Sir G. GREY said that as the bill so strongly resembled
that of last year, which was rejected, he di i not think, par-
ticularly with so strong au opposition from those most
interested is it, that they would be justified at this
period of the session in occupying any further time in the
consideration of the question.
Mr. MACKINNON, under them eircumstine, s, recom-
mended the withdrawal of the measure for the pretest.
Mr. BANKES consented, b, laving be would best consult
the object in view by not petering the bill. He hoped, how-
ever, that neat session the government would themeless
turn their attention to the subject.
Di.l by leave withdraws.
THE BOROUGH GAOLS BILL.
This bill passed through committee.
LANDLORD AND TENANT (IRELAND) BILL.
On the order of the day for the woad reading of this bill,
sent down from the Upper House,
Mr. 8. CRAWFORD moved that it be read • second
time that day three months. Sevinl of the slaws were
most arbitrary, and also objectionable, as gin g increased
power to the landlords.
Mr. E. D. ROCIIE seconded the amendment.
Mr. G. HAMILTON defended the erasure, and denied
that it had any exterminating intent, or would have such an
aft-et
Mr. BRIGHT thought they ought to come to the con-
sideration et this bill with some reamed to the present con-
dition of Ireland. The hone had been besieged this
session, and the country had heard • great deal of the
excitement with regard to the law of landlord and tenant
He thought nothing could be more ill judged, unless there
was • tam of absolute necessity, than that the house should
proceed, with so little time for consideration, to give addi•
urinal power to the landlord' while so bad • spirit slotted on
the part of the tenants, and he was afraid also en the part
of the landkrds. He should therefore vote in favour of the
amendment.
Mr. STUART said a few words in support of the bill.
Mr. F. FRENCH maintained that the bill, instead of
bolus a disadvantage, would be an advantage to tensn's,
and that no improper advantage was given by it to landlords.
Mr. ANSTEY hoped the house would pause before pm
sing a memare like the present, which was calculated to in-
crease disaffection in Ireland. The whole system of legis-
lation with respect to land, since the revolution, had been to
the profit of the laadlord and the loss of the tenant. He
moved that the debate be adjourned to that day week.
Col. DUNNE said wiles he thought great deference
ought to be paid to the opinions of the hon. member for
Rochdale on this subject, he had not said anything to Se-
dan his (Col. Dunne) to vote repaint the second reading
of the NIL He 'borsht the bill ought to go into vmmittee,
and if there was any clause which pressed unduly upon the
tenant let it be amended.
Mr. HUME said it had been stated that the landlords of
Ireland had been placed in their present position by bur
laws. Then why not repeal these laws, and give them the
same laws that England bad? (Cheers) He had always
said that Inland avoid be treated the same as England.
He should support the amendment.
Sir W. SOMERVILLE said the house was aware that a
few years ago an act was passed taking from landlords the
power of distrainiog upon growing crops. He doubted very
much whether the bon. member who had just addressed
them would support a bill to restore to them that power.
The cpponenss of the bill had taken it for granted that this
was a landlords' measure, and opposed to the interests of
the tenants. That was not his opinion. The only clause
having reference to other matters than that of preventing a
sys•em of fraud which every member of that house should
wish to see put down was tie first clause, that enabled
landlords to eject their tenants without having recourse to an
ac lon.
Mr. E. B. ROCHE confessed his disapp-intment at the
course taken by the right hon. gentleman who had just sat
down. The right hon. gentleman himself brought in • bill
to amend the relivion of landlord and tenant in Ireland.
That bill contained some of the clauses contained in this
bill, but it also contained clauses giving compensation to
tenants prospectively and retrospectively. It was quite true
• great many said that bill did not go far tomtit, but it
went a long way. He regretted that they did not proceed
with that bill. The bon. gentleman was proceeding with
his speech, when, six o'clock having arrived,
The SPEAKER declared the house adjourned.

TLIZ RAILWAY RIOT AT WOLVERLIAMPTON.—The
circumstances attendant upon the collision between the
employes of the rival lines, the North Waders and the
8 owe Valley companies, were brought under the cos eiders-
tion of the magisterial bench, at Wolverhampton. on Toes-
day, consequent upon an application for protection to Mr.
Hall, the contractor, in the occupation of certain slopes
which had led to the collision shove referred to. After
same discussion, the mayor, as president of the bench, said
It was impossible the magistrates could abut their eyes to
what took pla•s on Saturday, and brioily recapitulated the
circumstances. He then proeseded—" I need not inform
Mr. Carter (the solicitor of the North Western company)
that where there is • written contrast it must speak for
itself, and unless the contract does more than I
can suppose, I differ tato rek from him. The
oontravor may under it have &constructive possession similar
to that of an off going tenant to vend end gather
crors—a eight to do repairs without interferlrg
with the owners' use of their property—bat I an hardly
believe th►t he has the actual bodily possession of
the property ; and I am the more convinced of this because
the station belongs to the Bhrewsbury and Birmingham
Company ; their rails are on it, their engines and carriages
are upon it, and they are assessed to the poor rate for the
borough. But it is not necessary for as to decide this point.
We have nothing to do with that question excrpt with refer-
ence to the public peace. Substantially, too, this is an
application to deliver to Messrs. Hill and Moore the slope
which the compiny's servants t @copied on Saturday. The
Mayor then auggeeted that as ►e hod that naming been
called upon to take informations against several of the indi-
viduals iniplisated on Saturday, to be heard on Thursday,
everything bad better remain in slain quo until then, sad it
was ultim itely agreed that such should be the caps, but
&bailey, at ten o'clock is the morning, was afterwards Azad
upon instead of Thursday.
CHOSEN, FIREWORK/3.—A vessel which has jud
