HAMPTON RACES-WEDNESDAY.

The attendance for a " first day" was numerous, and
the weather highly favourable. The third race--the
Stand Plate occasioned a dead heat, which caused the
sport to be prolonged far beyond the appointed time.
After the "dead heat" it was found necessary to alter
slightly the position of the winning post, which was not
strictly in a line with the judge's chair.
Shortly before the termination of the racing, Mr. La
Mert, the owner of Zits''s, intimated to Admiral Roue
his intention of entering a protest against the judge's
decision for the Claremont Stakes, for which Mr. La
Mert's filly was placed second ; and although the admiral
assured him in positive terms that the judge's decision
was unAterabie and final, Mr. La Mert delivered the
following written protest to the care of Mr. Ed ward
Hibburd, clerk of the coarse :

" June 9, 1858.
"To the Stewards of the Hampton Races.
" Gentlemen,—l protest against the decision of the
judge in the ClaremotuAtekes.between my mare Zitella
and Rosabel, on the ground that the judge's chair was

IMPERIAL PAR LIAMENT.

HOUSE OF COMMONS..--(YESTERDAY.)
The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock.

PRIVATE BUSINESS.
The Lords' amendments to the Brentford GaN Bill were
conaiderei and agreed to.
The following bills were further considered, and
ordered to be read a third time :—Chester and Holyhead
Railway ; West-end of London and Crystal Palace Rail-
way.

MORTMAIN LAWS.
Mr. HADFIELD asked Mr. Atherton whether he
intended to apply this session for leave to bring in a bill
to amend the Mortmaiu Laws, similar to the bills pre-
viously brought in by him and passed by that house ;
and whether such previous bills bad bad consideration
in another place, and what difficulties existed to prevent
the removal of the present obstructions to the settlement
of property purchased for religious, educational, scien-
tific, and other charitable purposes, for full pecuniary
and other considerations ?
Mr. ATHERTON replied in the negative to the first
part of the question. With regard to the other part of
the question, he stated that, owing to a series of acci-
dents, the bills had not yet received the consideration of
another place. He should, however, revive the subject
next session, when be hoped to have the support of her
Majesty's Government.
PUBLIC DEBT BILL.

Mr. WILSON gave notice that on the motion for the
vecond reading of the public debt bill, the object of
which was to repeal the acts which provided for the
repayment of a portion of the loans raised during the
late war, he should move as an amendment the following
resolution :—" That in the opinion of this house the
extraordinary expenditure in time of war beyond what
can be provided fur by the usual taxation ought to be
raised in the form of terminable annuities."
GRAND JURIES (IRELAND).

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for IRELAND gave
notice that he should, on Monday next, move for leave
to introduce a bill relative to grand juries (Ireland).
TENANTS' COMPENSATION (IRELAND) BILL.
The adjourned debate on the second reading of this
bill was resumed by
Mr. Sergeant DEASY, who expressed his conviction
that there was no probability of any effectual legislation
taking place this session on the subject. Re contended
that the exceptional circumstances of Irelaad in regard
to the relation between landlord and tenant demanded
exceptional legislation. No class of society ought to I •
placed in that state of dependence which the tenants of

; Ireland were subjected to, but rather there ought to
• be that mutual confidence between them on which each
could rely. Political excitement was not the only cc a-
sion of the abuse of the power of landlords in Ireland, for
it frequently happened that a change of proprietor was
made the ground of the excuse for increasing the rents
of those tenants who had by their industry and capital
improved the value of the lands in their occupation.
He admitted that only a few of the landlords of Ireland
abused their power, but he thought, however, it was the
duty of the house to protect the oppressed minority. The
Devon 'Commission reoommended such a measure as
this, and several bills had been introduced for giving com-
pensation, and, although this had received the support of
successive Governments, the opponents of the measure
had been strong enough to prevent it passing that
house. The opinion of Leah members on this excep-
tional legislation ought to have received greater
weight than it bad hitherto received in that house.
The house had sanctioned the principle of excep-
tional legislation for Ireland, in the establishment of
the Encumbered Estates Court for the relief of
landlords, and he asked the house to extend that principle
to the property of tenants. He asked the house to give
force by legal obligations to that which now depended
on the force of moral sanction. The measure was not
proposed only for the interest of the tenants. He had
presented a petition in support of such a measure from
landlurds who believed their interests would be advanced
by it. Many landlords in Ireland were willing to give
compensation, but they were afraid to accede to such
claims, from the fear of exaggerate.' claims, there
being no legal tribunal by which the claim might be
fairly investigated and equitably settled. This bill em-
bodied the principle of the bill introduced by the hon.
member for Stroud, which received the assent of the
house ; and he asked those who voted for that bill to
support the measure now before the house. Any-
thing objectionable in the phraseology of the clauses
could easily be remedied in committee. The bill pro-
♦ided for retrospective improvements. He felt that
was open to objection, but the preF,ent Lord Chancellor
of Ireland was of opinion every measure of this kind
ought to contain a provision for retrospective im-
provements. The other objection to the mea-
sure was that it would encroach upon the property
of the landlords, but he denied that it would
touch their property injuriously. The present law
of tenant compensation had driven large numbers of the
tenants of Ireland and the labouring population across
the Atlantic. It was from the hills and valleys of Ire-
land they drew their supplies for maintaining their late
struggle against the power of Russia, and should an
European war break out they might find those sup
plies had been cut off or greatly diminished, and
regret they bad taken no measures to prevent it.
Mr. DOBBS objected to the principle of the bill. It
would interfere with the rights of property, and put land-
lord and tenant in a worse position than they had ever
occupied. It would taed to increase bad feeling
where it existed between landlord and tenant in Ireland
" Tenant right" was a misnomer, and since its in•
troduction twenty-five years ago into Ireland it bad
been productive of great injury to Ireland. There were
no tenant rights, but only customary rights.
Mr. MONSELL supported the bill. In England
the landlords made the permanent improvements on
their lands ; whereas in Ireland they were made by
the tenant, whe ought not to be dispossessed without
first being compensated for them.

Mr. MILLED, opposed the bill, on the ground that it
would prove injurious to Ireland. He approved of com-
pensation for improvements made by the tenant with
the consent of the landlord.

2 Mr. WALDRON supported the measure.
3 Mr. BLAKE also spoke in support of the measure.
It was for the benefit of England such a bill should be
1 pagFed, to give tenants confidence, and stimulate them
2 to develope the productiveness of the soil to its fullest
3 extent.

Mr. BRADY expressed his regret at the difference
of opinion that existed both in that house and in Ire-
land on a measure that was one of a purely social cha-
racter. Since 1780 the value of land in Ireland had in-
creased from 6s. 4(1. per acre to between 16s. and 17e.
per acre, through the energy of the hard-worked, indus-
trious, and much-wronged people. Ile called upon the
Government to support the bill and settle the question.

Mr. C. FORTESCUE was in favour of tenant com-
pensation, and should support the second reading of the
bill, but he was opposed to • many of the details of the
measure before the house. _ _

Lord F. CONYNGHAM supported the second read-
ing of the bill.
Mr. KIRK supported the principle of the bill, hop-
ing it would lead to a settlement of the question.
Mr. Bland, Mr. Cogan, and Mr. Bawyer supported
the bill.

Captain DAMER was in favour of tenant compensa-
tion, but he disagreed with the details of the bill.
Mr. P. O'BRIEN wished to see this question settled,
and asked the Government to state their views and in-
tentions upon it.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for IRELAND said
he was willing to support measures that were for the
general benefit of Ireland. Hon, members in the
course of the debate had referred to the report of the
Devon commission appointed by the la o Sir R. Peel,
when Ireland was in a worse state than at present.
Most of the recommendations made by the Devon
commission had been carried into effect. He denied
that the report of that commission recommended a
measure of the kind now before the house, but it recom•
mended compensation in certain cases, and under ar-
rangements to be entered into between landlord and
tenant. He referred to the attempts that bad been
made by himself and others to consolidate the present
acts relative to tenure in Ireland, and simplifying
contracts relative to improvements in land, but the
Irish party in that house opp )sed the measures, be-
cause they could not get a tenant right bill into the
bargain. Those measures would have met the neces-
sities of the case. He admitted that in 1852, when
Lord Derby was in office, an attempt was made to
settle the question, but it was not originally proposed
nor contemplated to make a landlord pay compensa-
tion in money on existing improvements—(hear, heat)
—that had been effected by the tenant with-
out the consent or knowledge of the landlord.
It would be unjust and impolitic to the purchasers of
estates through the Encumbered Estates Court to the
extent of 20,000,0001. to call upon them to pay for im-
provements they purchased when they became the
owners of the estates. It was proposed by the bill not
to interfere with the tenant custom of Ulster,
and as the past purchasers of encumbered estates could
not be included in its provisions, he asked the house if
it was worth while to pass a measure for the residue of
estates which would have the effect of invalidating and
impairing every sale in progress, and shake the convic-
tions of those who were disposed to purchase land in Ire-
land. Believing the bill to be unjust and impracticable,
he answered the question that bad been put to him, by
stating that the second reading of the bill could nob be
assented to because it was not just for Parliament to
affirm a principle that would not bear the test of close
investigation. With regard to the future, ho begged to
say that the statute law of Ireland relative to land re-
quired improvement, and should be done. He declined
to pledge himself to introduce a bill with a retrospective
clause. The subject was one of great import tnce, and
would receive the attention of her Majesty's Government
in conjunction with measures they had brought for ward
relative to the tenure of land in Ireland. Ireland, he
thought, was commencing a career of prosperity, but ho
considered the bill before the house, if carried, would im-
pede it; no speculative change in the law would accom-
plish that which the energy of the Irish people were
capable (f accomplishing.
Mr. O'Connell, Mr. Henchy, and Col. Greville sup-
ported the second reading of the bill.
After some remarks from Mr. MAGUIRE in reply,
The house divided on the motion for the second read-
ing—the numbers were—
