LEASING BILL (IRELAND).

In reply to Captain PECHELL,
Lord JOHN RUSSELL insinuated that he intended
to proceed with these Biils at 12 to-morrow.

SMALL DEBTS ACT.
Lord D. STUART inquired when the Attorney-
General intended to proceed with this En Would it
cume on to-night?

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he intended to
bring it on as soon as possible. If possible, he would
bring it on to night.
VAN DIEMEN'S LAND.
On the motion for going into a Committee of Supply,
Mr. A NSTEY moved fee an address to her Majesty,
on the subject of certain illegal ordinances or acts of
Council fur the taxation of the people of Van Diemen's
Land, the attempts of Lieut.-Governor Sir W. Denison to
intimidate the Judges of the Supreme Court of that Island
declaring such ordinui ces or acts to be legal, and the grie-
vnlices complained of by the cclonists of that island in their
petition prea. wed last year to Li r Majesty, and printed
by order of this Ilvm,e; and that her blaje•at.y may be
pleased to direct the local authorities in future to re apt ct
the independence of the judicial functions of that Court,
and also to signify her disallowance of any Ordinance or
Act subsequently passed by the said Lieutenant-Go.
tremor in Council, for giving to such illegal Ordinances

or Acts the force of law. This motion, he said, involved
al much the conduct of Earl Grey as it did that
of Sir William Deei.on, because he had neglected to
advise her Majesty with reseecs to the memorial which
had been transmitted by the rehabitants of the colony
to the Government of this country. One of the ch,rveS
in the memorial was, that the Governor, Sir W Deeison,
had interfered, by private soltcitaion, with the Judees
of the Supreme Court, in inducing One of them to absent
himself for eighteen months on full salary, in order to
enable the Government to appoint a suers-ssor who
would give a decision in favour of the Crown in re-
ference to certain actions which were then pending be-
tween he, Atejesty and s .me of her subjects in the colony.
He would concluce iimply by moving the resolution by
way of smendrrent of which he had given notice.
Mr. li A WEri was und, rstooi to say—but was
very indietinctly heard amid the buzz of conversation
in the House—that Sir William Dennison, the governor
of Van Diemen's Laad, in what he had done in the mat-
ters relernd to by the Hon. Member (Mr. Anstey)
had acted entirely in conformity with the
opinion of the law officers of the Crown.
Sir William Dennison then passed an Act through the
House, which was the 11th Victoria, which had coma
home. And there was a peculiarity about it, namely,
that though -it had come home, and had not yet
received the sanction of her Majesty's Government,
all proceedings under it were valid. He was unwilling
to do anything which should reflect on Sir William Den-
nison, as with one-occeptton, and that would be better
described as an error of judgment, there was no fault to
be found with. On what ground was it then that the
Hon. and Learned Gentleman made this motion. There
was no other point in this case to which he wished to
call the attention of the House.
Mr. HUME wished to know whether her Ma-
jesty's Government refused to lay upon the table the
letter conveying the disapprobation of the Colonial
Secretary to the Governor. It was fortunate
that in such distant colonies there were independent
men, and he believed that judges had always maintained
a character for independence. If the Governor had
done wrong in interfering with Judge Peddee,
he thought that all the circumstances of the case ought
to be laid before the House. He could not think that
the House would be satisfied with less than a disavowal.
of such conduct, 'coupled with an introduction of all
the documents relating to this point.

HOUSE OF LORDS.
Their Lordships met at Five o'clock.
On the motion of Lord CAMPBELL, the Quarter
Sessions Proceeding Bill was read a second time.
On the motion of the Earl of CARLISLE, the Drain-
age of Lands Bill was read a third time and passed.
CRIMINAL LAW CONSOLIDATION.
Lord BROUGH AM introduced a Bill to consolidate
the crimina► law relating to homicide and offences against
the person, which was read a first time.
FORE' PATRICK AND DON AGHADEE.
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said that after
the large sum of money which had been expended at
the national expense on the harbours of Port Patrick
end Donaghadee, amounting to upwards of 400,0001.,
and the grant last year of 10,0001., by her
Majesty's present Government, to enlarge and
dredge the basins for the reception of large steam-
vessels, it is highly inexpedient to remove the packet
from the station and give up the desirable communication
between the south-west of Scotland and the north of
In land.

The Marquis of CLANRICARDE said that the al-
teration had taken place for the public convenience.
Lard 1)E ROOS contended that the harbour of
Donaghadee ought to be kept up as a harbour of refuge.

SIR ROBERT PEEL.
The announcement in the Dutch Papers of the arrival
of Sir Robert Peel in Rolland, on the 9th, is absolutely
without foundation. The Right Honourable Baronet
spoke in the House cn Friday night. Oa the 9th he was,
we believe, at Osborne on a visit to her Majesty. Oa
Tuesday, he, with his family, occupied her Majesty's
box at the Royal Italian Opera ; and he is at this
moment in London attending to his Parliamentary
duties.

AUSTRIA.
Kossuth his recently published a proclamation at
Pesth, which may be considered as the Magyar
programme of the approaching campaign. Kossuth
makes a new and imperious appeal to the sturdy
patriotism of his countrymen. The priests are ordered
to take up the cross and to head their parishioners in
the defence of their religion and liberty. The people
are to arm themselves, as they best can, " with
scythes, pickaxes, &c." The line of the Theiss and
the fords of that river are to be defended, and
the inhabitants of the towns and villages shall, on the
approach of the enemy, leave their houses and homes,
and, carrying away all provisions, take refuge in the
fastnesses of the mountains and the islands of the
morasses. They are further instructed to set fire to
the places in which the enemy are quartered, and to
molest them by noctural attacks. Kossuth finally
states that the Hungarian army numbers 200,000
men:

THEATRE ROYAL, RICHMOND.—This little theatre commenced a season on Monday evening, under the di-
rection of Mr. John Ryan, a gentleman well-known to
the Richmond playgoers as a successful caterer for
their gratification. The entertainments were varied and
numerous, supported by metropolitan artistes of acknow-
ledged talent, and, if the reception of the company and
pieces on Monday ue taken as a criterion of future sue-
cess„Mr. Ryan will have reason to congratulate himself
on the result of his speculatiun. The curtain rose, when.
the National Anthem was given in capital style by several
vocalists from the two op rate who were engaged for the
occasion. The farce of Slasher and Crasher followed, in
which Mr. N. B. Ryan, as Slasher, kept the audience in
a roar from first to last. The celebrated Shawl Dance
was admirably given by Miss C. Pelser, and drew down
a unanimous encore; a similar compliment was paid to
the Misses Desborough and Furtle, who danced the
Minuet and Bolero (as done by them before her ajesty
and the Court at the St. James's 'Theatre lately) with
elegance and effect. The petite drama of Monsieur
Jacques introduced Mr. B. Barnett, who played the hare
of the piece with much feeling; the parts of Sequence
and Vivid were excellently sustained by Messrs. G.
Coke and H. Lee of the Mary lebone Theatre. The
song of "I'm going for a Srioldlieiri;Jlemnensy,''w

comic singing by Mr. N. B. Ryan and H. Saville created
much merriment. The hit of the evening, however,
was
the Gitana, by Miss Resina Ryan, who gave that popu-
lar dance with much grace and spirit, betraying such
gr, at talent in the art es astonished and delighted her
auditor*, and produced a repturoes encore. The farce of
Mr. and Mrs. 11 bite terminated the performances, in
which Mr. 17. Cooke mid Mr. N. B. Ryan, as Aiajor
Pepper and Peter White, made setae large demands upon
the risible faculties of the audience, and which were
heartily responded to. It is lour years since the theatre
had a lessee before, and Mr. Ryan's theatrical tact and
industry will, we hope, render his undertaking a source
of enjoyment to his patrons, and profit to himself.
REGISTRATION OF VOTERS.—The new law affect-
ing the registration of voters will come into practical
opertvion on the 20th inst. Hitherto taxes sad poor-
rates due on the s:h of April were to be paid on or

1849, no person shall be required, in order to entitle him
to have his name inserted in any list of voters for any

entitled to be on any such list of voters unless the poora
rates and assessed taxes, payable from him previously
to the sth day of January, shall be paid on or before
the 20th day of July next following.'
PROGRESS OF THE CHOLERA.—Mr. W. Baker held
six inquests on Tuesday in various parts of his district,
on the bodies of persons who died from Asiatic cholera,
and verdicts to that effect were returned in every case.
It appeared that the deceased, without an exception, had
been living when attacked by the disease in districts
where the drainage was bad.
EMIGRATION.—During the ast six months 87,443
emigrants have sailed from the port of Liverpool. The
number fur the corresponding period of 1848 was
