CIVIL LIST.

The Marquis of WESTMINSTER protested against
the motion which the Noble and Learned Lord opposite
had placed upon the paper in reference to the Civil List,
which, in his opinion, was perfectly unconstitutional.
The Noble and Learned Lord hal declared his intention
of dealing with the whole of the Civil List, forgetting.
apparently, that it was the result of a bargain made with
the Crown on the surrender of its hereditary revenue.
Lord BROUGHAM said he had no motion with re-
spect to the Civil List as yet, and the observations of the
Noble Marquis were therefore somewhat premature. He
would not take advantage of the opening afforded him
by the Noble Marquis to discuss the subject, but he de-
nied the bargain.
The Marquis of WESTMINSTER would take that
opportunity of stating that no alteration had been made
in the salaries of the officials of the Board of Green
Cloth, and the Gentleman who had succeeded Sir T.
Marrable received the same amount as that gentleman
had received while living.

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said he attached
great importance to the subject, and would take care
that the Lords should be summoned for the night when
his Noble and Learned Friend proposed to bring his
motion forward.

THE LEASEHOLD TENURE OF LAND (IRE-

LAND) BILL.

Lord BEAUMONT moved the third reading of this
Bill.

The LORD CHANCELLOR expressed his approval
of the principle of the Bill, but suggested that the max-
imum amount of compcns%tion under the measure should
be fixed at a year and a half's rent.
The Earl of WICKLOW said that in his opinion the
courts of justice ought to be left to decide upon that sub-
ject, and he thought it was better that they should reject
the Bill altogether. In order to record his opposition
to the measure he should move that it be read a third
time that day three months.
Lord BEAUMONT defended the Bill.

Lord MONTEAGLE thought that they ought to be
allowed to have an opportunity of considering the amend-
ment suggested by the Lord Chancellor, and that the
further progress of the measure should be suspended for
that purpose until next week.
Lord REDESDALE said he was favourable to the
principle of the Bill, but he could not think that its pro-
visions were calculated clearly and fully to carry out that
principle.

The Bishop of DOWN said he thought that they
ought to postpone until another session their final de-
cision upon that subject.
The Marquis of WESTMEATH said that an act of
injustice had been done by the Bill of last session, and
in his opinion they ought at once to endeavour to remedy
that injustice.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said, in explanation,
that having had the Bill referred to him by the Noble
Marquis the President of the Council, and having com-
pared it with the existing law, he thought that it was an
improvement upon that law, principally upon the ground
that the Legislature had intended to give some such
compensation as was granted in that Bill. The only
amendment which he had proposed was, that the maxi-
mum of the compensation should be one-and-a-half years'
rant.

After a few words from the Earl of WICKLOW,
Lord STANLEY suggested; as the motion for the
third reading had been proposed, that the considera'ion
of the amendments should be taken on Monday next.
The Bill was then read a third time, and the considera-
tion of the amendments fixed for Monday next.
E 3rl GREY moved the third reading of the Militia
Pay Bill, which was tweed to, and the Bill passed.
On the motion of Earl GRANVILLE the Stock in
Trade Bill was read a third time, and passed.
Several Bills on the table were advanced a stage, and
their Lordships adjourned at a Quarter past Eight
o'clock.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, July 26.
Mr. HUME proposed that the adjourned debate

Mr. SPOONER objected to this arrangement.
After a discussion of a very irregular nature,

Mr. ANSTEY moved, as an amendment, that the de-
bate be resumed at five o'clock that evening.
Mr. B. OSBORNE seconded the amendment.
Mr. SPOONER hoped the House would not assent to
either the motion or the amendment.—(Laughter.) lie
thought some farther time ought to be given to allow
Scotch and other Members who might he abgent to attend
in their places when the debate was resumed.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL thought the adjournment
should be to the earlie3t possible time—(Hear, heir)—
in order to decide this qhestion, the more especially as
