o'clock.
. The Huddersfield Improvement Bill was read a se-
cond time.

land.

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

The CHA'iICELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved
the insertion of the " 10th day of July" in the place of
the " sth day of July," which was agreed to.
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.
SADLIER said the lion. 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 title
to property in Ireland, but he asked what portion of the
Bill could warrant that assertion? He objected to the
machinery of the Bill, believing that it would not do
away with expensive litigation nor prevent fraduleut and
collusive sales of property. He was as anxious as any
one to see the number of small resident landowners in-
creased in Ireland, but the Bill would not promote such
an object. The intricate and complex nature of titles
made it necessary for the House to exercise great
caution, so as to prevent the commission of fraud,
which might now be perpetrated with great faci-
lity. What was wanted in Ireland was a prac-
tical and comprehensive measure, diminishing the
expense and curtailing the delay in the sale
and disposition of landed property, and giving faci-
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, ho would
find himself grievously disappointed. He had no
serious objections to the measure as it came
from the House of Lords, and ho felt bound to say that
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 state
of Ireland. He must confess that be did not like the
measure as it came down from the House of Lords, but
ho looked upon it with hope since it had been
amended by the Solicitor-General, whose speech was
worthy of him as a lawyer, and bearing the great and
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, hear.)
lie 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 that
political objects of great importance would be effected by
it. He felt the necessity of proceeding with caution, but in
the present circumstances of Ireland he thought the time
had arrived when something must be done.—(Hear,
hear.) He thought the measure highly creditable to
the Government.—(Hear.) He cordially supported it,
and would give its details his best consideration in Cora-
mittee.—(Hear.)

Mr. lALLO-N BROWNE supported the Bill, be-
cause he believed it would have the effect of remedying
in a great measure the evils under which Ireland at pre-
sent laboured.—(Hear.)
Sir JOHN WALSI-1 opposed the Bill, believing that
the House or a Committee of it was not the proper tri-
bunal of settling the question.

SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.-ARRIVAL OF THE
FIRST MAIL TRAIN AT WATERLOO-ROAD STATION.--
rms DAY.)—Precisely at halt-past four o'clock this
morning the first mail and passenger train from South-
ampton arrived at the Waterloo-road terminus. The
engine employed for the purpose- was the Horton,
No. 80, and conveyed seven carriages, with about 40
passengers. The workmen on this part of the line were
employed on Sunday throughout the day, and likewise
the whole of that and last night; still, however, they
had not been able to form a clear entrance for passengers
into Waterloo-road on leaving the train, and they were
obliged to make the best of their way between masons
and labourers to the road. Considerable work remains
to be done before the booking-offices, Ste., will be com-
plete. On inspecting a portion of this line, we
were particularly struck with the appearance of
the cast-iron skew bridges over five of the principal
thoroughfares. The one over the Westminster-road is
particularly deserving of notico from the great span (90
teet) and peculiarly light appearance; this, with four of
the others, were cast at the works of Mr. James Hay-
wood, of Derby, and are magnificent specimens of cast'
ing. The one over Church-street is in two arches, and
was made by Messrs. Grissell, London.

VAUXHALL GARDENS.—The postponement of the
Piste in aid of the Distressed Needlewoman's Society
had little or no effect on the attendance at the royal
property last night, judging by the numerous and ele-
gant crowd of visitors congregated during the night.
The extreme beauty of the evening, the most genial of
the season hitherto, seemed to have had its effect by
drawing together an amount of fashionable pleasure
seekers that has not been exceeded during the past
month. The various entertainments of equestrianism,
music, vocal and instrumental, with the talented exhibi-
tion of Professor Hemming and Son with Signor Bead-
bury on the corde volante
,the inimitable Juba, colossal
picture of Constantinople with the renowned Vauxhall
fireworks, stamp the royal property a place of amuse-
ment par excellence, and entitle the indefatigable director,
Mr. Robert Wardell to a large share of credit and a solid
proof of public appreciation.
