I charge of the bill in the hope that it might pass this
session ; which, though it might not give the tenant-
right party all thsy desired, yet, on the whole, might
so far satisfy one party without inflicting injury upon
the other. But the Government had bee❑ very much
disappointed in that expectation. The progress of the
bill had been retarded by lengthened discussions and
divisions in great number, and they had now arrived at
a period of the session that he thought they might con-
clude, without any great stretch of imagination, that
the bill, the further progress of which, it was announced,
would be likely to be attended with further discussions
and divisions, they could not with any rational expecta-
tion look to it as likely to become law this session.
This being a final day in the house for receiving bills
from this house, and for the other reasons he had stated,
he moved that the chairman report progress. (Hear.)
Mr. F. FRENCH expressed great astonishment at
the course taken by her Majesty's Government on this
bill, which he understood they had entered into an
arrangement with the Irish members, that they (the
Government) would bring their whole force to carry.
Mr. KENNEDY rejoiced that the bill was not to be
proceeded with this session, because he believed it would
inflict injury upon the tenant class of Ireland.
Mr. DUFFY considered that if the bill had !passed it
would have been a curse instead of a benefit to Ireland.
Mr. J. G. PHILLIMORE defended the vote ho had
given on this bill, particularly as regarded the 14th

Clause.
Colonel GREVILLE approved of the conduct of the
noble lurd in withdrawing the bill at this late period of
the session. He expressed a hope that another Irish
bill (the Dwelling Houses Bill) which had been intro-
duced by a right hon. gentleman, a late Secretary for
Ireland (SirW. Somerville), would not be persevered in
this session.
Mr. V. SCULLY expressed great astonishment at
the withdrawal of the bill, a course to which he
begged to say he was no party whatever.
After some observations from Mr. Kirk, Mr. Ma-
guire, Lord Naas, and Mr. J. D. Fitzgerald,
Mr. DE VERE regretted the postponement of this
measure, because ho believed it would give rise to the
renewal of that agitation which had been the curse of
Ireland. He hoped after the explanation that had been
given by the noble lord at the head of the Government,
the noble lord would recollect the pledge they had
given on this measure, and would carry it out to the
letter in another session if they were in power. (Hear,
hear.)
Mr. BRADY deprecated the course that had been
pursued by the Government with respect to this mea-
sure, and felt no doubt that its withdrawal would create
great discontent and dissatisfaction in Ireland. The
measure was calculated to improve the value of property
in Ireland, and it was to be regretted that it should be
withdrawn, as it was a measure calculated to cement
the people of the sister country to England. (Hear.)
Mr. NAPIER felt afraid that, in the state of circum-
stances at present existing, the noble lord at the head
of the Government could not have adopted any other
course than he bad done at this the eleventh hour. The
house had been asked to accept the bill as an instal-
ment. He objected to the adoption of any arch prin-
ciple. If they were to legislate on this question at all
let them do so in a spirit that would set it at rest. He
trusted the Government would, before next session, con-
sider whether the measure could not be made more
efficient. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. F. SCULLY thought the present had been a
most useless discussion ; for, while they had been talking
about the withdrawal of the measure, and the provisions
of the bill, they mieht, in the 2i hours occupied with
such a discussion, have got through the committee on
the bill, and adopted its clauses.
After some observations from Sir W. Verner, Mr.
Marnire, Mr. Whiteside, and Mr. Horsman,
Mr. STAFFORD congratulated the noble lord at the
head of the Government in bringing forward the bill and
withdrawing it- (laughter)—and could only lament the
exertions that had been made for a measure that had
been now brought to its last gasp.
The house then resumed, the chairman reported
progress, and the order for the proceeding with the bill
in the course of the present session was withdrawn.
PARTNERSHIP AMENDMENT BILL.

On the order of the day for the house going into com-
mittee on this bill _ _

Mr. BOUVERIE proposed to postpone the bill to
12 o'clock on Thursday, as at the present hour it was
impossible to get through the committee on this mea-
sure and the Limited Liability Bill.
Mr. GLYNN and Mr. MITCHELL deprecated the course
pursued by the Government, and complained that mem-
bers had been brought down most uselessly to the house
to consider a measure that it was evident the Govern-
ment intended not to press forward.
Lord PALMERSTON was sorry that members
had been inconvenienced in coming down to the house,
but denied that the Government were to blame. It was
his intention to proceed both with this bill and the
Limited Liability Bill on Thursday, at 12 o'clock.
Mr. IIASTIE trusted the noble lord would not per-
severe with the bills, believing that they were dishonest
in principle and totally at variance with the opinions of
the public.
Mr. J. G. PHILLIMORE hoped the bills would be
persevered with, as he considered the best results would
follow from them. _ _ _

Mr. CARDWELL would support the bills, for 65
purpose of having them well considered. He looked
upon their principle as well founded, but they might
require some alterations in their details.
Mr. MUNTZ objected to both measures, especially
the last, believing that they emanated from a Board of
Trade that knew nothing about trade.
Mr. HENLEY doubted whether any practical good
could be accomplished by proceeding with these bills
daring the present session, because he believed that no
one would say that there was the least chance of their
passing in the present session.
Lord PALMERSTON, considering that these mea-
sures would lead to great improvement in the law, must
persevere with the bills, considering that there was
plenty of time to discuss the great principles involved in
them. (gear, hear.)
Mr. GLADSTONE entreated the noble lord not to
persevere with these measures, on the ground that there
would not be time before the end of the session to dis-
cuss them fully.
Mr. BOUV ERIE believed the country was anxious
these bills should pass, and that it was, therefore, the
duty of the house to do all they could to persevere with
these bills. _ _

Mr. MUNTZ moved that the chairman should re-
port progress.
Mr. BROWN moved as an amendment that the chair-
man should leave the chair.

Mr. GLYNN said there was no chance of proceeding
with these bills in the present session, as they would
doubtle=s be referred to a select committee. He trusted,
therefore, the noble lord would withdraw both bills.
Mr. BRIGHT said that wherever he went he was
continually s.ked whether these bills were likely to
pass. He believed the public were in favour of thorn,
and he trusted the noble lord would persevere to
press the measures forward, and if he did so he was sure
he would he hacked by the country, and that the House
of Lords for the purpose of passing them would remit the
strictness of their regulations with respect to receiving
bills. _ _ _

Lord PALMERSTON was determined to pass these
bills in the present session, and he would divide the
house upon the question of proceeding with them.
Mr. VANCE had consulted with several commercial
men upon the subject of the first bill, and their decided
opinion was that it would turn out a dead letter ; and as
to the second bill, it was generally looked upon as a
measure to legalise fraudulent schemes.
The committee then divided, when there appeared—
For Mr. Muntz's motion that the
Chairman report progress B9
Against it
Majority for the motion —4B
The CHAIRMAN then left the chair, and the house
resumed, and leave was given to the committee to sit
again on Thursday at 12 o'clock.
