LEASES AND SALES OF SETTLED ESTATES

BILL.

On the house going into committee on this bill,
INIr. WHITESIDE suggested the propriety of post-
poning such an important measure till the next session.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL objected. The bill
had been carefully considered by a select committee of
the Lords, and it was necessary it should be proceeded
with.
The question was then put and carried, and the house
went into committee on the bill.
Clauses 1 to 19 were, after some verbal amendments,

agreed to.
On clause 20 being put, which prevents the Court of
Chancery from granting an application for the lease of
property, where a previous application bad been made
to Parliament for an act and refused,
Mr. WHITESIDE moved its omission.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, for various reasons,
supported the clause.
After some discussion, in which Mr. MALINS and
Mr. BLITT took part,
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL suggested, as there was
not a sufficient number of members present to admit of
a division on the clause, and in order to save time at that
advanced period of the evening, that the C'uairman re-
port progress and ask leave to sit again. He accord.
ingly made a formal motion to that effect.
After a few words from Mr. Whiteside, Mr. Watson,
and Mr. Butt,
The motion was put and agreed to, and the house re-
sumed.

DESPATCH OF BUSINESS (COURT OF
CHANCERY) BILL.

On the order of the day for going into committee on
this bill,
Mr. HADFIELD moved that the house go into com-
mittee on the bill this day three 'months, contending
that there was not now sufficient time remaining before
the termination of the session for giving it that patient
and attentive consideration that its importance de-
manded.

Mr. MALINS said that as ten minutes only re-
mained at their disposal for going into committee, little
or no progress could be made to-day at all events.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said that would be
sufficient to enable him to get through the most import-
ant clauses.

Mr. HADFIELD pressed his amendment to a di-
vision, when the numbers were--

For the motion
Against it
(Loud laughter.)
The house then went into committee pro forma, and
the Chairman reported progress immediately.
Some other business on the paper having been dis-
posed of, the house adjourned a few minutes before six
o'clock.

its enclosures, of wkich the following are copies, ad-
dressed to his lordship by General Simpson, Command-
ing her 11Iajest'y Forces in the East :
Before Sebastopol, July 28, 1855.
My Lord,—Since my despatch of the 24th inst., I
have nothing of importance to relate to you. We con-
tinue to strengthen and improve our advanced works,
which are now so alose to the enemy's trenches that I
regret to say that our casualties are necessarily consi-
derable.
The enemy exhibit great activity in adding to and
improving their defences, and the conveyance of large
military stores from the north to the south side is in-
creasing.
I beg to transmit the lists of casualties to the 2fith
inst., and the confidential fortnight reports of the Gene-
rals of Division. and Biigade.
The cholera has nearly ceased in the ranks of the
army.
I have, &c., JAMES SIMPSON,
Lieut.-General Commanding.
The Lord Panmure, &c. r
