LONDON, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1847.

The House of Lords met yesterday, and sat for a
short time.

Lord STANLEY complained of the slow progress made
in the public business, and gave notice that he should
put a question on the subject to the Government to-
morrow (this day).
The Labouring Poor (Ireland) Bill was read a first
time, and ordered to be read a second time on Monlay;
after which their Lordships adjourned.
The Commons met at Four o'clock.

Mr. HUME postponed his motion on the affairs of
Sinde for a fortnight.
Dr. BOWRING postponed his motion on the subject of
the collection of the revenue for a fortnight.
Mr. PLUMPTRE gave notice of a motion for an address
for a National Fast.

Mr. S. CRAWFORD moved for leave to bring in a Bill
to secure tenant rights in Ireland.
Mr. M. J. O'CONNELL f econded the motion.

.
Mr. LABoUCHERE would not oppose the introduction
of the Bill. The Government had it in contemplation to
introduce some measure of this sort, and perhaps it would
be better to delay the further consideration of the Bill
until both measures should bo before the House.
Leave was then given to introduce the Bill, which was
read a first time.
On the motion of Mr. S. CRA.VTORD, the Collection of
Rates (Ireland) Bill was read a second time, on the un-
derstanding that it should not be further proceed° dwith

until the measures of the Government on this subject
should have been before the House. The Fairs and
Markets Clauses (Ireland) Bill passed through Committee
as did the Commissioners Clauses Bill, the Gas Works
Clauses Bill, and the Waterworks Clauses Bill.
On the motion of Mr. HumE certain returns relating
to the military barracks of the United Kingdom, vrere
agreed to, and the House adjourned.
