Mr. Bouverie in the chair.

On clause 10, a desultory conversation took place, in
the course of which,
Sir J. YOUNG denied that there bad been any vacil-
lation on the part of the Government in regard to the
bill. The Aberdeen Cabinet were united in their desire

when the three bills became a law, a great step
would be gained in enabling tenants to have full and
fair compensation for improvements.

after a short discussion.

Fort William, April 22d, 1853.
The Most Noble the Governor-General in Council ha%
much satisfaction in publishing, for general information
extracts from dispatches reporting the operations of Bri-
gadier-General Sir John Cheape, K.C.8., against the force
