that in order to prevent the introduction of the cattle
plague into this eountry from abroad, all foreign cattle
and other animals imported into the port of London shall
be landed at one proscribed spot, and shall not be removed
thence alive, ought not to be considered apart from the
general policy of imposing legal restrictions on the
foreign cattle trade in other ports of the United Kingdom.
He contended that the bill was altogether unmeaning at
the present time. Why should it be pressed forward when
the time consumed in its consideration could be much
bettor and more advantageously occupied in pass'ng the
measures that must bo disposed of prior to the dissolution ?
The bill dealt with large interests; and yet there had not
been the slightest discussion upon them up to the present.
It was introduced on the sth of Dec., read a second time
on the 13th of February without debate, and as it re-
mained uunot:ced for so long a time the natural inference
was that it was not to be proceeded with. It was now,
however, thought proper to urge the bill forward with
extraordinary speed. He objected to the bill, because it
interfered to a very great extent with private property,
and therefore he submitted his amendment to the motion
of the noble lord te the consid .ration of the hoes. The
bill proposed to sweep away private property in the
most unceremonious manner, and as it in his opinion
would work evil rather than goof, he hoped the house
would not consent to its proceeding any further that ses-
sion. He believed it would impose serious restrictions on
the foreign cattle trade and lessee its azii3nut ; also that
it was nothing more than a gigantic scheme of protection.
and one that would increase the price of meat to the con-
sumer. For these reasons he altogether objected to its
provisions, and had move .I his amendinen t, which he hoped
would be acceptable to all those who did not wish to in-
crease the present taxation of the metropolis. He did
not think that the bill was that of the Privy Council, be-
cause it was at variance with their acts ; but he believed
it was that of a set of persons who believed the metropo-
litan cattle market was too good a thing to let the foreigner
have a slice. (Hear, hoar, and laughter.) The measure, he
believed, was pressed upon the Privy Council by the agri-
cultural interest, and although its voice was that of Jacob,
yet its hand was that of the Esau of Norfolk. (Loud
laughter.) He didn't object to small things being done
to oblige friends on the eve of a general election, but he
did object to free trade principles being interfered
with. (Hear, hear.) He thought the farmers friends
would betray the farmers as they had been before ; he
believed they, the farmers; were an honest sat of people,
but they were being used for party purposes. They were
being deceived in this matter, and the sooner they had
their eyes open the bettor. He thought it an entire delu-
sion to believe that the collecting of foreign cattle at one
spot at Barking would entirely prevent the communication
of cattle plague to the metropolitan market, supposing un-
fortunately it was again to break out ; -and he could not
say how much ho was surprised at persons who had the
reputation of being well-informed in certain matters could
entertain such an impression. The evil that he could
see was that it would seriously interfere with
the supply of food for a large class of the population, that
it was unfair to the railways and to the other markets.
They had heard nothing about the management of the new
market, and with regard to the corporation of the City
of London, but it had been publicly announced to the com-
mittee that the corporation withdrew from all interference
with the bill. That was another of the many difficulties
with which the bill was surrounded, difficulties he thought
that, to men of practical mind, rendered all legislation at
the present moment impossible. For all these considerations
he hoped the house would accept his amendment.
The discussion was carried on until 7 o'clock, at which
hour the sitting
was suspended.
On the house resuming at nine o'clock, a discussion
arose on the subject of telegraphic communication with
India on a motion by Lord W. HAY for the production of
copies of any correspondence which might have passed
between the Secretary of State for India and the local
authorities relative to the deep sea line from Bombay to
Kurrachee, and the sanctioned lines from Gwadur to Jask,
I and from Jask to Bushire._

Sir S. NORTHCOTE, in expressing his readiness to
produce the correspondence referred to, said that the
Indian Government had determined not to give any
assistance in the form of a guarantee to the new line by
way of the Red Sea.
A discussion ensued, in which Mr. Crawford, Mr. A.
Seymour, and Sir H. Rawlinson participated, and ulti-
mately the motion was withdrawn, on the understanding
that the papers should be moved for as an unopposed re-
turn.

Mr. PI M. brought under notice the record publications
published under the direction of the Master of the Rolls,
and offered some suggestions for making them more ac-
cessible to the public.
The Entail Amendment (gcotland) Bill was read a third
time and passed.
The Salo of Liquors on Sunday (Ireland) Bill was
withdrawn.

Several other measures were advanced a stage, and the
house adjourned.
