LAND) BILL

Mr. MA,;KINNON opposed the motion, on the
ground that the Committee, of which he was a member,
was perfectly satisfied with its constitution, and had no
desire to have Mr. Eliot Yorke discharged from further
attendance.

Mr. OSBORNE said that as nearly seven millions of
money was turned over in Smithfield-market during the
year, and that as great interests were involved in its
maintenance, the subject should not be left to the deci-
sion of a one-sided Committee. Some one ought to be
placed upon it to represent the interests of the graziers
and others.

Mr. ORMSBY GORE thought that the course taken
by the Hon. Member was a very unusual one. Mr.
Masterman, one of the metropolitan Members, was on
the Committee, and, therefore, could represent the inte-
rests of the City.
Mr. CHRISTOPHER did not think the course taken
by the Hon. Gentleman who had made the motion was
most unjustifiable.

Sir G. GREY thought the motion could not be agreed
to without strong reasons for it. If the lion. Gentle-
man to whom the motion related had allowed himself to
be placed on the Committee thinking he should be able
to attend it, and had since found that he could not, he
ought to have applied to the Chairman on the subject.
Mr. STAFFORD thought the metropolis ought to be
more strongly represented than it was in the Committee,
and therefore, as the Hon. Member (Mr. E. Yorke)
had not attended a single sitting of the
Committee, he felt that it afforded him an ex-
cellent opportunity of moving the appointment of
the Honourable and Gallant Member for Westminster,
in the absence of the Noble Lord the Member fer Mid-
dlesex. There were more classes than one in the me-
tropolis who had an interest in the question, but who
were sot represented on the Committee. One of these
was the butchers, who were unable to get a hearing on
the Committee.
Mr. 0. GORE denied that the butchers were not re-
presented.
Mr. MACKINNON undertook to secure the appoint-
ment of another metropolitan Member should the Noble
Lord the Member for Middlesex not return in time to
attend.

Upon this understanding the motion was withdrawn.
The other orders of the day were then disposed of
and the House adjourned.

FRANCE.

The following proposition, emanating from M
Victor Considerant, and signed by sixty represents•
Lives, has been laid upon the table of the National
Assembly :

" The -National Assembly, considering Article 4 of
the Constitution, which says:—' The French Republic
respects foreign nationalities, as it desires that its own
should be respected, and will undertake no war with a
view to conquest, nor employ its forces against the
liberty of any people;' considering that the Executive
power, having obtained from the National Assembly
authority to send an expedition to Italy to protect
liberty, has directed this expedition against a Repub-
lic which is the result of universal suffrage, and has
employed the forces of France against the liberty of the
Roman people; considering that this odious act consti-
tutes a flagrant violation of the letter and spirit of the
Constitution, and a flagrant treason against the interests
of the French Republic and European democracy, de.
crees—Citizen Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, President of
the French Republic, and Citizqns Odilon Barrot, Buffet,
Lacrosse, Rulhi&res de Tracy, Passy, Drouin de Lhuys,
Fallouts, and Faucher, his Ministers, are accused of hav-
ing violated the Constitution."

the People says that the Prefect of the Seine has
struck off the list of electors 45,000 Paris workmen,
on the ground that they lodge en gal-xi, or have
no fixed domicile. The Peuple says that this
is in violation of the law, which fixes no
other condition than six months' residence in
the commune where the elector has to vote.
Yesterday the Central Committee of the'Electoral
Union completed the scrutiny of the ballots in the
fourteen arrondissements of the department of
the Seine for the preparatory elections of Repre-
sentatives in the Legislative Assembly. It will
be recollected that a list of fifty candidates was
submitted by the Committee to the electors,
recommending them to add such names as might
appear to them more eligible, or suppress those which
were objectionable. Not only has no one candidate
not found in the list been named by the electors
themselves, but out of the 28 first names on the provi-
sional list, 27 are found on the final list. The number
of voters was 55,097. The following are the names
Gf the 28 final candidates, according to the number of
votes given in their favour

PRUSSIA.

We learn from the Kolner Zeitung that a meet-
:rig of the Landwehr of the district of Eberfeld
took place on the 3d instant, at which a num-
her of resolutions were passed, according to which
the Landwehr declared that they submitted to the
sLuthority of the Frankfort Parliament, and that
the Landwehr would not obey the orders of the Man-
teuffel-Brandenburg Cabinet. These resolutions were
on the 6th of May adopted by the Landwehr of the
districts of Schwelm, Hagen, Ronsdorf, Luttring-
hausen, Lennep, Huckeswagen, Solingen, Neuss,
Dortmund, Essen, and Millheim, formerly the most
loyal parts of the Prussian dominions.

by better means than getting rid of it clause by clause,
us the Committee were now doing.
Col. SIBTHORI' sad that what he wallted was, to
get rid of the Bill and the Honourable Baronet too.—
( Laughter.)

- Atter some further discussion, the motion was with-
drawn, and clauses 3 to 6 were struck out of the Bill,
Sir J. PAKINGTON then moved that the Chairman
report progress.

The HOuse resumed—the Chairman reported pro-
gress, and obtained leave to sit again on Wednesday the
6th of June.
