(THIS DAY.)

cond time.

SUGAR DUTIES.
Mr. BERNAL brought up the report of the Com-
mittee on Sugar Duties.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved

The report as amended was then agreed to, and a
Committee appointed to bring in a Bill embodying the
resolutions.

ENCUMBERED ESTATES (IRELAND) BILL.
The adjourned debate on this Bill was then resumed.
Mr. SADLIER said the Hon. Gentleman (the Solici-
tor General) in describing the object of this Bill, stated
that it would have the effect of doing away with re-
ceivers in chancery, and of giving a fresh and clear titlo
to property in Ireland, but he asked what portion of the,
Bill could warrant that assertion? He objected to tho
machinery of the Bill, believing that it would not do
away with expensive litigation nor prevent fradulent and
collusive sales of property. He was as anxious as an:f
one to see the number of small resident landowners in -
creased in Ireland, but the Bill would not promote suoll
an object. The intricate and complex nature of title s
made it necessary for the House to exercise grey t
caution, so as to prevent the commission of fraud ,
which might now be perpetrated with great fad -
lity. What was wanted in Ireland was a prac-
tical and comprehensive measure, diminishing th
expense and curtailing the delay in the se.:le
and disposition of landed property, and giving fa ei-
lity for the better administration of the proceeds of the
sale. If, however, any Member thought that the Bill,. as
it at present stood, would effect such an object, he would
find himself grievously disappointed. Ho had no
serious objections to the measure as it clime
from the House of Lords, and he felt bound to say t at
he firmly believed that the Government were desirous
sincerely of passing a useful and practical one, but the
Bill in its present state he could not assent to.
Sir J. GRAHAM had long looked for a measure
like the one now before the House on the present sti ite
of Ireland. He must confess that he did not like tbe
measure as it came down from the House of Lords, but
he looked upon it with hope since it hadbean
amended by the Solicitor-General, whose speech vras
worthy of him as a lawyer, and bearing the great arid
venerated name he did, and also as the Solicitor-Ge-
neral. He thought the objection of delay and expense
which the Bill would entail was well worthy of the con-
sideration of the House; but he thought the pro-
position of the Solicitor-General would greatly
tend to relieve that delay and expense.—(Cries
of " Hear, hear.") He thought every encourage-
ment ought to be given to the sub-division of
land—(Hear, hear)—and he was anxious to reunite, to
the soil of Ireland the Roman Catholic capital of that
country.—(Hear, hear.) He believed that such a
step would be the saviour of Ireland.—(Hear, he sx.)
He would give the Protestants of Ireland :also
every facility to relieve themselves from the burdens
under which they laboured.—(Hear.) He viewed the
necessity for this measure with great pain, although he
thought the Bill sound in principle, and believed 1:h at
political objects of great importance would be effected by
h. He felt the necessity of proceeding with caution, bill in
the present circumstances of Ireland he thought the 011ie
had arrived when something must be done.—(ll,3ar,
hear.) He thought the measure highly creditable to
the Government.—(Hear.) He cordially supported it,
and would give its details his best consideration in Cot a-
mittee.—(Hear.)

Mr. BILLO-N BROWNE supported the Bill, 14'
cause he believed it would have the effect of remedyi ag
in a great measure the evils under which Ireland at p; re-
sent laboured.—(Hear.)
Sir JOHN WALSH. opposed the Bill, believing ti at
the House or a Committee of it was not the proper t el-
bunal of settling the question.

SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.—ARRIVAL Or 11111
FIRST MAIL TRAIN AT WATERLOO-ROAD STATION‹,
(PHIS DAY.)—Precisely at halt-past four o'clock al'
morning the first mail and passenger train from ;500,';
ampton arrived at the Waterloo-road terminus. The
engine employed for the purpose was the ffortol;
No. 80, and conveyed seven carriages, with about 4
passengers. The workmen on this part of the line Well
employed on Sunday throughout the day, and likolvir.,
the whole of that and last night; still, however, el
had not been able to form a clear entrance for passeinge
into Waterloo-road on leaving the train, and they wero
obliged to make the best of their way between naissoll
and labourers to the road. Considerable work reniaili-
,
to be done before the booking-offices, &c., will be cony
plete. On inspecting a portion of this line, 11
were particularly struck with the appearance °A
the cast-iron skew bridges over five of the princir
thoroughfares. The one over the Westminster-rottd
particularly deserving of notice from the great span (91
feet) and peculiarly light appearance; this, with four 0'
the others, were cast at the works of Mr. James 11141
wood, of Derby, and are magnificent specimens of el
ing. The one over Church-street is in two arches,
was made by Messrs. Grissell, London.
VAUXHALL GARDENS.—The postponement of Oa
in aid of the Distressed Needlewoman's S.ticies
had little or no effect on the attendance at the ref
property last night, judging by the numerous and el
gant crowd of visitors congregated during the nig,PBl
The extreme beauty of the evening, the most geniis' hi
the season hitherto, seemed to have had its effect 8
drawing together an amount of fashionable plettill';;
seekers that has not been exceeded during the Pt,
month. The various entertainments of equestriamit,
music, vocal and instrumental, with the talented exP",j,
tion'of Professor Hemming and Son with Signor 13eilj
bury on the corde volante
,the inimitable Juba, coio7
picture of Constantinople with the renowned VauZb
fireworks, stamp the royal property a place of amtol,,
went par excellence, and entitle the indefatigable dire4t
Mr. Robert Wardell to a large share of credit and a iv'
proof of public appreciation.
