IRISH COLLEGES BILL.

The NOBLE LORD also appointed the second reading of this
Bill for Monday next.
BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE.

The Earl of DEVON said he had conferred with some of
the 'Members of the other House of Parliament with respect to
the Bills which the Government had intended to introduce, and
he had come to the conclusion that it would not be for the
public benefit to introduce the Bill with respect to the shorten-
ing the form and reducing the expense of leases. He had
come to a similar conclusion with respect to the Bills for re-
gulating distresses and vjectments for the non-payment of rent
for land, the Tenure and Leases Bill, and the Grand Jury Bill.
These Bills, from the late period of the session, could not re-
ceive that consideration to which they were entitled. They
would be carefully considered during the recess, and would be
then proceeded with.
Lord BROUGHAM agreed with the Nob'e Lord that it
was necessary to postpone some of the measures he had
enumerated.

enumerated. But with respect to the Bill for amending the
laws relating to grand juries, which had been sent down to the
Lower House, he thought it might be passed during the pre-
sent session. Surely there were enough of Irish Members to
pass the Bill before the session closed.
The Marquis of CLA N RIC ARDE thought the Irish people
had had sufficient time to consider the subject. He thought
that the customs and feeling's which lawful habits had en-
gendered and strengthened should be respected. He hoped,
therefore, that time would be given to the people of Ireland to
express their opinion on this subject.
The Earl of WICKLOW thought that both those Bills
should go together, and he was of opinion that his Noble
Friend the Secretary for the Colonies should withdraw his
Bill.

Lord CLARENDON then begged leave to move a resolu-
tion, that it is resolved that in reference, not merely to existing
treaties between Great Britain and Spain, but with respect to
the commercial enterprise carried on between her Majesty's
Government and the colonies, that the Reese is of opinion that
the subjects of the King of Spain should be permitted to im-
port the productions of all their territories, paying nut higher
duties than other colonies pay on like articles.
The resolution was ordered to lie on the table.
