COUNTY COURTS BILL.

The House then proceeded to consider the above Bill.
Lord D. STUART moved the following clause:—
And be it enacted that, from and after the passing cf
this Act, in all actions of trespass or upon the case, to
be brought by any person or persons in respect of any
grievance committed by any clerk, bailiff, or officer of
aly court holden under the said Act of the tenth year
of her Majesty, or under this Act, it shall and may be
lawful to and for the defendant or defendants in such
actions to plead the general issue, and give any special
matter in evidence, any law or usap to the contrary
not w itht auding.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL objected, and the
clause was withdrawn.
Mr. CROWDER moved a clause, the object of which
was to enable a suitor, living out of the district in which
the defendant resided, to bring his action either in the
county or the superior court.
The clause was adopted, and the third reading of the
Bill was fixed for Thursday next.

Tne Incorporation of Boroughs Confirmation (No. 2)
Bill was read a second time.
On the motion tly.a. the Factories Bill bo read a third
time,

Mr. O'CONNOR objected to the Bill baing read a
third time at so late an hour (one o'clock).
Sir GEORGE GREY then arranged that the third
reading of the Bill should take place on Thursday next.

LANDLORD AND TENANT BILL.
Mr. PUSEY moved the further consideration of the
Landlord and Tenant Bill.

Colonel SIBTHORP objected to the progress of the
measure at that late hour, and moved the adjournment
of the House.

For the adjournment ... ... 11
Against it ... ... 61
Majority against ... —5O
On our return t,) the gallery we found
Colonel SIBTIIORP repeating his protestations
against the B►ll, denouncing it as dangerous, delusive,
and disgusting, and altogether uncalled for. It was a
partial Bill to suit partial feelings and partial purposes.
It created suspicion between landlord and tenant. He
objected to the manner in which the Bill was brought in
and attempted to be smuggled through the House at a
quarter after one o'clock. He moved that the Bill be
further considered that day six months.
The SPEAKER said the Hon. and Gallant Gentleman
having already moved the adjournment of the House, it
was not competent for him to move an adjournment of
the Bill for six months.

Colonel SIBTHORP then moved the adjournment of
the debate.
Mr. FORBES seconded the motion.
The House then divided, when there appeared—
For the adjournment ... 3
Against it
Majority against it ... —4B
Several amendments were made in the Bill, and clauses
were about being added, when
Colonel SIBTHORP moved that awl:louse be counted.
Strangers were ordered to withdraw, but on a count
upwards of forty Members were found present.
The consideration of the elausPs was then proceeded
with, and they were adopted. The Bill was ordered to
be considered as amended.

The House then adjourned, at a Quarter to Two.

TO THE SECRETARY OF THE

BRADFORD REFORM ASSOCIATION.

Sir,—On Monday the 17th, the important subject
before the House was the Second Reading of the Irish
Lord-Lieutenancy Abolition Bill. The wonder seems
to be, that any of the opposers should have opposed it.
There might have been opposition somewhere, but
nobody would have expected it to be where it was. The
opinion of the !louse on the whole was finally expressed
by a majority of 295 against 70, for the abolition of the
office.

On Tueslay, everybody was on the alert to trace any
consequences which might display themselves, of the
movement on the previous evening i❑ the Lords. The
crop of symptoms was small. The Ministers looked
particularly hilarious, till they composed themselves to
balmy bleep. They certainly looked like men resigned,
if resignation is in the wind. Perhaps they have deeply
meditated on the unsatisfactory nature of human power,
and are arrived at that state of satisfaction at having it
taken from them, which ascetic piety sometimes aims at.
Perhaps they have done nothing of the kind, nor mean
to do; but intend to let the fly settle on their car with-
out further notice.

The only token which was elicited in any way, was
that a Member on the Liberal side asked maliciously
when the proceedings initiated on the opposite side on
the question of present quarrel were to be gone on with;
and received an answer of the kind which may be popu-
larly described as hacking out.
On the same evening the Member for Manchester vi-
gorously pushed his motion for a Commission to be sent
to India—of course he must be the chairman—to inquire
into the impediments to the growth of cotton. One good
effect it had, was to bring out an entire disavowal of
design to check or keep back the growth of that pe-
culiarly Indian product. Indeed why should there be,
unless so much as might belong to a general system for
mismanaging India, or more properly for managing it
up to the point of goodness which gives the maximum
of rain with the minimum of effort?
On the whole a great deal of good was evolved by the
debate. A general acknowledgment was declared of
the re:,essity of endeavouring to make the country inde-
pendent of the slave states of America. Cuba and Wind-
sor Castle are sufficient for the minds of all. An effort
to represent the taxes wrung from the native cultivators
of India as expended for their use and benefit, should
have been met with an inquiry how those taxes have
actually been expended, when the answer must have
been, in war. When it is acknowledged, as
it was in this debate, that most or all of
the conquests in India are losing concerns as far as re-
venue is concerned, is it conceivable that the native cul-
tivators should riot have been racked to the extent of the
possible, before such a termination was admitted? And
the question ought to have been pushed to a division. A
debate without a divison goes for nothing. A division
is what impresses things on men's minds and on the
public, and starts a question with the means of calcu-
lating its progress hereafter.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
AN OLD REFORMER. ,
London, June 19, 1850.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] —The new Tooth-pick Tooth-
brush, thoroughly cleansing between the teeth, when used
tip and down, and polishing the surface when used crossways,
the hair warranted never to come out ; in four strengths—
viz., No. 1, hard, No. 2, less hard, No. 3, medium, No. 4,
soft. The double anti-pressure nail-brush, which does not
divide the quick from the nails. The triple hair-brush, which
thoroughly searches and cleanses the hair iu one-fourth part
of the time of any other method, and acts as both comb and
brush combined. The medium shaving-brush, being a se-
lection of the strongest badgers' hair, so well secured in the
socket as never to come loose. And, though last not least,
the newly invented" Renovator" clothes brush, which makes
an old coat look like a new one, and a new coat to look new
double the usual time. Invented and made only by Ross and
Sons, 119 and 120, Bishopsgate-street, London.

New Zealand papers to the 2d of February have
arrived, but beyond the statement that the settlers were
enjoying complete tranquillity, their contents are not of in-
tereit.
