MPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
(THIS EVENING.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.

Their Lordships met at Five o'Clock.
Several Bills were brought up from the House of Commons.

WEST LONDON RAILWAY EXTENSION.
Lord BROUGHAM reported that the Select Committee on
West London Railway Extension and Lease 13111 had fonnd that
the standing orders had been complied with, and they had
agreed to the Bill with some immaterial amendments.
STATE OF THE COUNTY OF LEITRIM.
The Marquis of CLANRICARDE presented a petition from
the magistrates and others of the county of Leitrim, setting
forth the state of that county, and praying their Lordships to
adopt some steps to improve that condition. The petitioneas
suggested that the best remedy which could he applied to the
evil was to extend the law which at present granted compen-
sation to a particular description of property when the pro-
perty should be maliciouly injured, to all descriptions of
property, and also to injuries upon the persons. Having
presented that petition, he would proceed to put the question
of which he had given notice, relative to the conduct of Mr.
Watson, a Magistrate and a Deputy-Lieutentant of the
county of Leitrim. It would appear that, on the 22d of
June, a meeting, attended by 300 Masters of Orange Lodges,
was held in the town of Lisburn, which meeting was pre-.
sided over by Mr. Wilson. At that meeting the following
resolutions, which were signed by Mr. Watson, were passed.
The first resolution stated that the meeting deemed it essential
to take immediate steps to reorganize the Orange institutions
of the county, and the second stated that inasmuch as that
unjust measure entitled the Anti-processions Act was about to
expire, all the Orange members of the county be re-
quested to attend the forthcoming anniversary of the Boyne.
He had received a letter from the Noble Marquis
at the tab!e (the Marquis of Londonderry), in
which he deprecated the conduct pursued by this
gentleman. He therefore wished to know whether the Go-
vernment had taken notice of his conduct, and had dismissed
him from the commission of the peace? If they had not, and
had behaved to him with lenience, they had acted•inconsistently,
as they had pursued a more liberal line of conduct towards
another great political party in Ireland, if they had not made
inquiry Into the circumstances as he had detailed
the cry might fairly be raised that justice had not been fairly
meeted out to Ireland. He wished to know if any steps had
been taken in consequence of the meeting over which Mr.
Watson presided at Lisburn, on the 20th of July?
Lord STANLEY regretted that the Noble Marquis had not
simply asked his question, and explained the object of
it, without entering into the state of the country.
Her Majesty's Government had seen with regret and with
considerable disappointment, that through a great part of
Ireland the members of Orange Societies had been so
reckless in their proceedings as to neglect the cautions
which had been given to them by those who ought
to be entitled to their confidence and esteem. As long
as both the great political parties in Ireland continued to fo-
ment disturbances it was quite impossible that city could be in
a happy or prosperous state. The blame which attached to
many processions ought not to be attribnted to one
party to the exclusion of another equally to
blame.—( Hear, hear.) With regard to the conduct of
the person complained of, if the facts were found as they were
represented. Her Majesty's Government would deeply regret
that a gentleman, occupying a high station in Ireland, should
have been so misguided and so misled as to lend his name and
his character—and the higher the character the greater evil—
to the meeting in question. He would not say, however, that
the matter had been left untouched by the Government, for the
Lord Lieutenat of Ireland had been in communication
with his Noble Friend the Secretary of State on the
subject. The question as to how he should be dealt
with, he (Lord Stanley) was not prepared to
say. He trusted that the Noble Marquis would not call upon
him to declare the result of that communication ; but this he
would say that the Government would treat the matter with the
greatest impartiality.
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY wished to ray a few
words on the subject, as he had been alluded to by the Noble
Marquis. With regard to the character of the individual whose
conduct was called in question, he had no hesitation in saying that
up to the present time that individual had conducted himself with
the greatest prop riety. For his own part, he had urged upon
the Orangemen of Ireland to refrain from those processions,
and he thought that the great majority of the Orangemen of
Ireland had taken no part in them.

(LEFT iITTINIR.)

VALUATION (IRELAND) BILL.
The House then went into Committee on this Bill, and on
the first clause being read, a discussion ensued, in which
Captain Jones, Sir T. Fremantle, and Mr. Sharman Crawford,
took part, and the clause was agreed to.
On the reading of the 2d clause, after an observation from
Mr. S. CRAWFORD,
Sir T. FREMANTLE said that the valuation was divided
into three classes—those counties in which the valuation by
Mr. Griffiths had been completed, those in which it was not
yet begun, and those in which it was partially proceeded with,
and he thought it would be better to wait until the valuation
was completed before they proposed any alteration in the Bill.
After some further discussion the clause was agreed to, as
was also the 3d and 4th clauses.
On the sth clause being proposed,
Mr. S. CRAWFORD moved that the following clause
be inserted after it
And be enacted, that in respect of all
valuations of lands to be made under the provisions of this Act,
the Commissioner of Valuation, or the Sub-Commissioner ap-
pointed to value the same, shall base his estimate of the rent for
which the premises might he reasonably expected to let from
year to year upon a csideratioxi of the productive
powers of the soil, according
to the natural qualities
of such soil under a fair
application of labour and skill in the
improvement and
management_ of the same, and under such
rotation of cropping
as such Commissioners shall deem most
suitable to the quality of so and the circumstances of the
premises; calculating the valuei.l c
of the produce at such prices
as he shall ascertain to be the average of the prices of the
five years preceding
the time of such valution. And
after having made such estimate of the value as aforesaid, ard of
the proper and reasonable rent as founded thereon, it shall be
law ful for such Commissioner (and he is hereby so required) to
take into consideration whether the premises so valued are
affected by any peculiar. local ad vantages or disadvantages,
which might operate
on the fair letting value, and he shall
thereupon raise or reduce his estimate of value and rent ac-
cordingly : provided always,
,that in the return which he
shall make of his valuation, tne amount and causes of such
addition or reduction shall be specially stated, and also the
prices of produce at which such valuation shall have been com-
puted; and in all casses he shall make his valuation on an esti-
mate of that amount of rent which, in his judgment a solvent
tenant might be fairly expected to pay, according to the quality
of land and circumstances of the premises."
After some observations from Sir T. Fremantle, Sir R. Fer.
gluon, and Alr. S. Crawford,
Viscount CLENIENTS objected to the Bill proceeding fur.
ther ; there were only three Irish Alembers in the House, and
not more than sixteen Members altogether. He objected to
the principle of the Bill•
the principle of the Bill from the commencement to its ter-
mination. The Noble Lord then moved that the House be
counted, and added that he would take every means in his power
to defeat the Bill.
Mr. GREEN, the Chairman of the Committee, then
counted the House, and there being only twelve Members
present, he quitted the Chair, and
The SPEAKER having entered the House,
