promising author, a` rising politician, an accomplished
gentleman, and a most amiable mare
(From the Manchester Eiaminer and Times.)
L is with feelings of deep regret that we announce.
the death of MreAlexander Mackay, the Indian Com-
missioner, appointed by the Manchester Chamber of
Commerce. Mr. Mackay left this country on the 20th
December, 1850, under the most favourable auspices—
beihg accredited and recommended to the Chamber
of Comme=rce of Bombay by the Chambers of Com-
merce of Manchester, Liverpool, and Glasgow,
and carrying with him the full confidence of
the mercantile arid manufacturing public connected
with the cotton trade. The object of his mission also
received the unanimour approbation of the British prest,.
and we have reason to know that it was regarded with
good will by the leading members of the Administration.
The main purpose of his appointment was to ascertain
by an unbiassed but minute investigation on the-spote '
thereat obstacles which prevent an ample supply of good
cotton being obtained from the East Indies, and the r
causes which impede the extension of our commerce with
that country.
The iniaion was one requiring great industry, intel-
ligence, and sound judgment, on the part of the indi-
vidual selected for the arduous and responsible under-
tekieg ; and it was peculiarly fortunate for the inte-
rests represented by the body with whom the mission
originated, that they were able to secure the services of
a gentleman so eminently qaalitied in every respect to
carry out their views. Mr. Itieekay'a inquiry (embraced a
multitude of details, all bearing on the mein subject of
the mission—sach as the means provided by the Indian
Government to promote the interns-I as well as the ex-
.
port trade of 'the country over which they rule—the
nature of the reads by' which the produce of the interior
is brought to the coast—the mans ef inter communica-
tive between neighbouring districts—the state and
tnanagment of docks, piers, quays, &a.—the condition
of the agricultural pepulation, and the circumstances
which tend to stimulate or repress their industry—the
nature of the land tenure, particularly with reference to
the sNturity of the cultivator—the arcoant and kind of
taxation, and the mode of levying and connecting it—
all .departments of inquiry requiring minute and im-
partial personal observation.
On his arrival, Mr. Mackay was cordially received. by
the Bombay Chamber of Commerce, end every facility
afforded to him for the prosecution of his inquiries,
which were continued during the whole of lash year,
and the results of which have been from time to time
transmitted holm. The influence of the climate of India,
was, however, too much for a constitution not naturally
robust, and he was compelled to terminate his labours
sooner than be had anticipated, and endeavour to regain
leaving the country. In a letter ad-

HOUSE OF COMMONS, May 5.
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)
TENANT RIGHT (IRELAND) BILL.—AD-
JkOURNED DEBATE.
On the reading of the order of the day for the resump-
tion of this debate,
Mr. CONOLLY said that ho felt that he was justified
in taking the course which ho had pursued on a former
occasion, as in his opinion the House was then
about to divide on this Bill on a false issue.
The Bill in his opinion was nothing more than
a system of oompulaory valuation, without giving
the landlord any security for his rights.
Certainly the word compensation was used very fre-
quently in the Bill, but the system of arbitration, by
which a fair compensation was to be arrived at, wits
imperfect and never could be worked satisfactorily. He
could scarcely believe that lion. Gentlemen opposite
wished to carry this Bill, for he could not insult their
common sense so fir as to suppose that they would have
introduced such a Bill had they wished to have it car-
ried. It embodied a principle which was opposed to the
practise of Eaglancl, and he thought of Ireland too. Ho
had not only been an advocate of compensation for im-'
provement, but he had acted upon it, and he thought he
had some right to speak on the subject.—(Hear.) This
Bill was introduced to keep up the cry in Ireland, not
to settle the qaestion between lendiont and tenant, but
to unsettle it. This was a coulee which was not honest
by those who advocewei tenant right, not honest by
this House, and not even by the supporters of this Bill.
He would go on now to point out what tenant-right
really was. The tenant had a perfect right to sell his
improvements to any one whom the landlord might ap-
point. Tenant right did not depend upon tenure at all,
for the tenant at will had just as many rights as the
tenant at lease; and he was at perfect liberty, if
he so thought fit, to sell his improvements
to the incoming tenant. Tenant right, how
er, differed under different circumstances; for
irsstance, tenant right on one estate might extend to
twenty years' purchase, while in the adjoining estate it
might not reach to more:than two years' purchase. it dot
upon the feelings and situation of the landlord
whether tenant right was high or low. Tenant right
was nothing less than the good will of the tenant, and
when the tenant bad the confidence of his landlord it
ranged very high, as indeed was the case in the north
of Iceland. And yet the supporters of this Bill came
forward to abase the landlords of Ulster.--(Hear, hear.)
Tenant right wits nothing less than one of mutual confi-
dence between the landlord and tenant, and it was im-
possible to dent with it by legislative enactments. On
the contrary, a system of legislation proposed by the
Bill would undermine such confidence, and he appealed
to Irish Members, as their countryman, to pause before
they adepled this Bill. In not doing so they would not only
be acting injudiciously, but inflicting a great injustice
upon the landed interest of Ireland, and he hoped the
House would not consent to interfere with the system of
tenant sight that at present prevailed in Ireland, which
he was happy to say was the result of a long continu-
ance of peace. This Bill, in fact, would increase the
cieil and religious discord which reigned in the north
of Ireland, for the sake of promoting some paltry elec-
tioneering scheme or other. The material interest and
the prosperity of Ireland required that this Bill should
be thrown out, and he should give it his most deter-
mined opposition.—(Hear.)
Mr. MONSELL was not disposed to underrate the
importance of the question, and he for one did not
regret that the debate had been adjourned. The tenant
right which the last speaker had referred to prevailed
in Ulster, and there great prosperity existed, but the
same confidence or prosperity was not to be found else-
where, and hence arose the necessity for a Bill of this
nature.—(Hear, hear.) He was by no means anxious
to see a system of compulsory compensation established,
but no such system was involved in this Bill; and he
was, therefore, at a loss to understand why it should
be opposed on that ground.—(Hear, hear.) He would,
if the House would permit him, call attention to
the urgency of this case. The existing law relating
to land in Ireland had worked badly in all times
and under all circumstances, as would be found by a re-
ference to the writings of Doan Swift, Arthur Young,
Lord Clare, and other writers, who had commented upon
the social condition of the tenant-farmers of Ireland.
—(Hear, hear.) Most of the crimes and evils
which Ireland bad suffered from might be traced to
some dispute about the occupation or letting of land, and
therefore the inference appeared to him to be obvious
that the system ought to be altered, unless the House
thought it was the disposition of the people, and not the
defective state of the law, that was the cause of
all their miseries.—( Hear, hear) He, however,
could see nothing in the Irish character to induce the
former belief, for directly the Irishman got out of his
own country he became an enterprising man, and emi-
nently industrious and contented.—(Hear, hear.) All
authorities concurred in this opinion, and if they could be
consuled he had no doubt that they would agree with 11
him that to make the Irishman as estimable
in his own country, they must confer upon him the ad-
vantages of the principle contained in this Bill.—(Hear,
hear.) In theory the existing Irish system was the same
as that which prevailed in Eogland, but the misfortune
was, that in Ireland it was not put into practice,
and all he wanted was that the same practical
privileges should be conceded to the Irish tenant-
farmer that were enjoyed by the English tenant-farmer.
—(Hear, hear.) In England end in. France no landlord
could eject any tt•nant without compensating him for the
improvements; and the acme system prevailed in Den-
mark, Massachusetts, a new country, and several
European S:ates, any he was at a loss to understand
why the same pric,eiple could r:ot be enforced for Ireland
by legislative eslactmtnt.—(HE ar, hear.)
Lard AN:s.AS was ahe:losi to offer a very few observa-
tions epee ibis very important question before the
Iluu4o came to a cheision.—(Criea of " Hear, hear.")
He Admitted that the principle of compensation was,
to some extent, to to found in this Bill, but it
was introduced as a peg to hang upon certain other
psinciples of an exue,lirig:y dangerous character.—
(Hear, hear.) The paecieel feature of this Bill was not
compensation, but it was that part of it which vested
hereafter, if it was carried, force the landlord to submit
his rent to the arbitration of a body of tenants.—(Hear.)
Now, he for one, near could consent to any such prin-
ciple of law; it existed in no country on the face of the
globe that he was acquainted with; and as it was totally
at variance with the rights of property, he must call
upon the House to reject the Bill.—(Hear, bear.)
Compensation, ho repeated, was not, in fact,
the leading principle of this Bill.—(Hear, hear.)
The Bill introduced by the Hon. Member some years
ago was only part of the present Bill. The present
Bill was adapted to embody the Tenant League in Ire-
land, whose principles the Noble Lord considered
to be as dangerous as the wildest ones
advanced during the storms of the French
revolution. In the year 1851 a speech was made by a
reverend gentleman in Ireland, in which an opinion was
advanced that when a landlord failed to perform
his duty be ought to be removed. Another
reverend gentleman had stated that landlords
"are only tolerated for the benefit of the
Poe9Ple. and when they were fund not to be beneficial
they should be removed. The Noble Lord had many

faemers. (Hear hear.) No provision was made
to enable the labouring man, on whose iadnstry.both the
tenant and landlord really lived, to have a fair valuation
for his day's work. This, therefore, was an utterly ex-
clusive and selfish measure, designed for the
benefit of one class at the expense of ano-
ther. He believed the Bill would never pass;
but he feared groat injury would be inflicted on Ireland
by Hon. Members opposite by continuing the present
agitation, and holding out to tenant-farmers hopes
which they knew could never be fulfilled.—(flear,
hear.) He appealed to them to pause ere they pro-
ceeded further in raising the expeotations of a credulous
sad excitable people.—(Cheers.)
Mr. G. H. MOORE observed that the Noble Lord had
shruuk, as he would from red but iron, from adverting

SHOCKING ACCIDENT. On Monday afternoon,
Mr. Gibbons, the head gardener at the Peel-park, Salford,
lost his life while attempting to save that of a woman who
had foolishly plunged into the river Irwell, which forms one
bounday of the park. Mr. Gibbons heard a cry raised that
some one was in the water, and, rushing to the bank, he
leaped in where the depth of water was about eight feet.
The woman was saved by seizing the hook of a stick held
out to her, but Mr. Gibbons was carried into the middle of
the stream, beyond the reach of assistance, and he sank.
The body was not recovered for half an hour, and all means
for resuscitation were then unavailing.
GALLANT CONDUCT REWARDED.--The Prince Pre-
sident of the French Republic has been pleased to award to
John Lewis and William Lewis, masters of the Aurora s In-
crease and Tryal, of Harwich, gold medals, and to John
Fallagar and Francis Monk, mates of the above vessels, silver
medals, for their exertions in rescuing and saving the lives
of the crew of the French brig Etoile de la bier, recently
wrecked on the Long Sand,
on this coast. The crews of the
above vessels ,have been previously awarded, by the com-
mand of the Prince President, 350 francs, for risking their
