TENURE AND IMPROVEMENT OF LAND
(IRELAND) BILL.
On the order for the adjourned debate on this bill,
Mr. C. FORTESCUE moved that the order for the second
reading of the bill be discharged. In defending the principle
of the measure, he said it was founded on this idea, thatthe
law of Ireland should be put upon a wise and just basis,
securing in the absence of a special contract to the con-
trary the fair rights of the tenant. That was an idea which
he thought wiser and more practicable, certainly different
from former bills, and he maintained that the resolution of
his noble friend (Lord Naas), applying rightly as it did to
former bills, including the bill of the Governmentof which
the noble lord was a member, and the bill of Sir Robert
Peel, did not meet the principle or the idea which

at the root of the present bill. The bill asked whether

Mr. GLADSTONE was glad that the noble lord had
spoken with so much reserve when he did not see his way
to introduce a bill on this subject.
Lord NAAS denied having stated that he did not see his
way to introduce a bill.
Mr. GLADSTONE said ho was glad that he had mis-
taken the noble lord, and that he did see his way to in-
troduce a bill on the subject. That being so, he could
not reconcile the speech of the noble lord. However, if
it was his intention to bring in a bill, it was his duty, as
Chief Secretary for Ireland, to state the principle '
on
which it would be founded, but that the noble lord had
not done.
Mr. HENLEY said he was one of those who wished to
see the law of England and Ireland assimilated.
Mr. CLIVE hoped if the noble lord opposite (Lord Naas)
introduced a bill next year lie would not sanction compen-
sation for improvements made without the sanction of the
landlord. He maintained that the relatton between land-
lord and tenant was in a satisfactory condition.
The discussion was continued till a quarter to six, when
the orderwas discharged.

The second reading of the Inns of Court Bill was post.

The second reading of the Public Schools Bill was post_

The Inland Revenue Bill was read a third time and
passed.
The Tramways (Ireland) Acts Amendment Bill was
read a third time and passed.

The Parishes (Scotland) Act (1818) Amendment Bill
was read a second time.
The house adjourned at ten minutes to six.

MARKETS.---This Day.

--

MARK-LANE.

Fresh up to our market to-day the receipts of wheat
from Essex and Kent were very xnodetate. For both red
and white parcels the trade was very dull, at quite Mon-
day's decline in the currencies.

The quantity of foreign wheat on offer was somewhat
extensive. There were very few buyers in attendance.
The transactions in consequence were chiefly in retail at
fully late reduction. '

In floating cargoes of grain sales progressed steadily,
and the tendency of prices was in favour of buyers.

The market was well supplied with barley, but F.scarcely
any English produce was included in the supply. The
demand was in a sluggish state, and inferior foreign parcels
were rather easier in value.
Malt was dull, at late rates.

Oats, the show of which was large, changed hands
slowly, and the value of inferior produce had kdrooping
tendency.

Beans and peas were in limited request, on former terms.
The flour trade was very quiet, at the late reduction in
prices.
