LANDLORD AND TENANT (IRELAND) BILL.
The house went into committee on this bill, resuming at
clause 36.

Mr. M'MAHON said that he had a motion on the paper
for the omission of this clause, but after the opinion which
the house had already expressed in reference to this bill,
and considering the lateness of the session, he would not
press the motion.

The O'DONOGIIIJE was of opinion that, as there was
such a thin attendance of Irish members (only about nine
being present), they ought not to proceed with a bill of such
importance. He concluded by moving that the chairman
report progress.
The motion was withdrawn, and the clause, as amended,
was agreed to.

Clause 37, with some verbal amendments, was agreed to,
as were clauses 38 and 39.

On clause 40,

Mr. M'MAHON moved an amendment to the effect that
the provisions of the clause, which enabled a tenant to give
up a tenement when destroyed by fire, should be extended
to cases where the property was destroyed accidentally by
tempest or by water.
Mr. DEASY did not oppose the amendment, further
than that he considered it unnecessary, the terms " inevit-
able accident" meeting the views of the hon. and learned
member.
The clause was then agreed to.

Clauses to 47. inclusive, with some verbal amendments,
were agreed to, and clause 48 was omitted.
Clause 49 was agreed to.

On clause 50, which provided for the continuance of the
power of distress, some discussion took place,
Mr. DEASY appealed to the committee to allow the

clause to pass, and promised to introduce a clause to pre-
vent vexatious distress.

The clause was then agreed to.
Clause 50 was agreed to.
On clause 51 sline discussion ensued.
The O'DONOGHUE moved its omission.
The house divided, and the numbers were—

The amendment was accordingly negatived.
Clauses 52, 53, 54, 55, and 56 were agreed to, and clause
57 was omitted.

The remaining clauses were agreed to.
Mr. SULLIVAN moved the following additional clauses:
—"Dwelling houses, buildings, or fixtures on the premises
at any time during the tenancy shall not (except as herein-
after provided) be removed from the premises, pulled down,
or otherwise injuriously dealt with or altered in their essen-
tial character, without special grant or licence in writing in
that behalf by a person competent to make a grant or licence.
Personal chattels, engines, and machinery, and buildings
accessorial thereto, erected and affixed to the freehold by
the tenant at his sole expense, for any purpose of trade,
manufacture, or agriculture, or for ornament, or for the
domestic convenience of the tenant in his occupation of
the demised premises, mad so attached to the freehold that
they can be removed without substantial damage to
the freehold or to the fixture itself, and which shall
not have been so erected or affixed in pursuance
of any obligation or in violation of any agree-
ment in that behalf, may be removed by the tenant, or his
executors or administrators, during the tenancy, or when
the tenancy determines by some uncertain event, and with-
out the act or default of the tenant, within a reasonabl•
time after such determination, except so fax as may be
otherwise specially provided by the contract of tenancy."

Mr. DEASY said that the question of fixtures should be
dealt with by a sparate bill, and should not be introduced on
the present occasion.
Mr. MONSELL suggested that the clause should be
limited to agricultural produce.
After some discussion the clause, with some alterations,
was agreed to.

Mr. SULLIVAN moved the addition of another clause,
which was rejected to.

The preamble was then agreed to, and the bill ordered to
be reported.

INDIAN CgRRESPONDENCE.
Sir DE L. EVANS asked the Secretary of State for War
whether he had nut received from the Secretary of State
for India in Council a letter from the Bombay Government,

dated the 25th day of February, 1860, with enclosed lettex
from the Inspector-General of Ordnance in Bombay, dated
the 30th day of November, 1859, together with copy of a
letter from the Bombay Government, dated the 12th day of

March, 1&&, with inclosure from the Inspector-General,

dated the 15th day of December, 1859, all relating to stores
sent from this country to India; and whether there would be

any objection to laying copies of this correspondence upon
the table of the house, together with copies of any corres-

pondencc. ooneeming the recall, by tho Council of India, of
cat.ainstorekeepers recently sent to India by the Secretax3

of State for War.

Mr. S. HERBERT had been able that afternoon to ob-
tain the correspondence in question, which there would bs
no difficulty in laying before the house. Part of iz was in-
onmplete, because the respective offices were endeavouring
to find out what was the best mode of packing stores its
future. He was glad the gallant general had asked for the
papers, because they would remove a great deal of the mis-
apprehension which had existed as to the amount of stores
of a perishable nature which had been sent out in an unser-
viceable state—a point upon which there had been a good
deal of exaggeration. It was right to observe that the tran-
sactions referred to had occurred, not only before he (Mr.
Herbert) came into office, but even before the secretaryship

for India was created.
THE SPANISH TARIFF.

Mr. LYALL asked the Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs whether, in consequence of his representations to
the Spanish Government, and the advantages granted to
Spain by the recent alterations of our tariff, that Govern-

ment was disposed to alter its navigation laws ?
Lord J. RUSSELL said the Spanish Government had
shown a disposition to reconsider their tariff with a view to
alterations; but he had no reason to think they would mo-
dify their navigation laws.
