THE EASTER HODIDAYS.

Mr. GLA.DSTONE announced that on—Tuesday, the
23d, ho shuuld move that the house, at its rising, Shouil
adjourn until the Thursday in tho following week.
REAL PROPERTY.

Mr. LOCKE KING moved for leave to bring in a
bill for the better settling of the real estates of
intestates. At present the real property of
persons dying without a will passed to the eldest son, and
the object of the bill was to effect an alteration in the law
on that point, to the effect that the property instead of
passing to the one child should be divided equally amongst
the whole of the children then living. He quoted many
cases where the disobedient eldest son had succeedel
to the propertyagainst the known intention of the testator,
who had died without making a will, and thus the younger
children had been rendered entirely destitute. It was not
his desire to introduce the French law on the subject into
England, because he altogether disapproved of their mea-
sure.

Mr. B. HOPE objected to the bill, and stated he should
state his reason% more fully when the motion for the
second reading was under consideration.

After a shtirt discussion, in which Mr. Stapleton, Mr.
Goldney, Mr. Hadfield, Mr. Walter, and Mr. Gladstone
took part, leave was given to bring in the bill.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—LAST EVEN/NG.
THE TORNADO.
Mr. OTWAY, in reply to Mr. Bentinck, said the Tor.
nado had been condemned as a good prize, but the claim-
ants of the vessel had the right of appeal. The proper
steps had boon taken for the hearing of that appeal, but no
further information was yet in possession of the Govern-
ment. There would be no objection to the production of
papers on the subject.
THE CHURCH OF IRELAND.
)1l.•. GLADSTONE, at the request of Sir S. North-
cote, said the value of the property of the Church in Ire-
land was a m•ttter of opinion, and it must be taken ac-
cordingly. The total ustinrited value, as he had stated, in
round Lumbers, Wai
THE FINANCIAL LORD OF THE TREASURY.
Mr. SCLATER-BOOTIL on the motion for the hone*
going into Committee on the Navy Estimates, called the
attention of the house to the appointment of a financial
Lord of the Treasury, who was, as the hon. gentleman
who had received the appointment told his constituency,
the War Lord of the Treasury—(laughter)—the duties
being to supervise the whole of the expenses of the
War Department. De should like to hear what
was the real intention of the Government in making the
alteration.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the
duties that wore to b 3 discharged by the Third Lord (1
the Treasury wore to look after the finances, the Secretary
to the Treasury having to superintend the expenditure.
He thought the greatest good would result from the ar-
rangement to the public service, but he could assure the
house that it was with no idea of the Third Lord doing the
work of the First Lord. With regard to the sentiments
that the hon. gentleman the member for Truro had ad-
dressed to his constituents he thought they had better nut
undertake the explanation of speeches made during the
excitement of a political election. The appointment
had been made with a view to the public
a lvantage, and he anticipated the future advantages
would arise from the appointment with a view of carrying
out that which the Government stood pledged to, viz.,
economy and retrenchment. Whether right or wrong,
the appointment had been made with a view of benefiting
the public service.
Mr. HUNT said he must confess that after the ex.
planation of the Chancellor of the Exchequer he was very
little wiser than he was before as to the duties of the
" Third" Lord.
The house then wort into committee of supply, andllr.
CHILDERS brought on the Navy Estimates.
The other orders having been disposed of, the house
adjourned.
