appointment of a Commission to inquire into the relative
merits of the broad and narrow gauges.
The motion, which was seconded by Mr. M.
PHILLIPS, and acceded to by Sir G. CLERK, on the
part of the Government, was agreed to.
The Lunatic Paupers Bill passed through Committee.
On the Report on the Statute Labour (Scotland) Bill
being brought up,
Mr. SMOLLETT moved the re-committal of the Bill,
for the purpose of adding certain clauses.
After a short discussion the Bill was re-committed,
several new clauses were added, the House resumed, and
the report was brought up and agreed to.
The House then resolved itself into Committee on the
Dog Stealing Bill.
The third clause, inflicting a penalty of 201 for a first
offence of dog-stealing, and transportation for a third,
was opposed by Mr. WATSON, on the ground that the
punishments were too severe, and supported by Mr.
CITRTEIS.
Mr. HAWES moved that the clause be struck out, and
the Committee divided, when there appeared—For the
clause, 33; against it, 6; majority in favour of the

clause, 27.
The remaining clauses were agreed to after some
little discussion. The House resumed, and the Bill was
reported.
The House then resolved itself into Committee on the
Smoke Prohibition Bill, on the motion of the Earl of
LINCOLN.
The several clauses were, after some discussion,
agreed to, and, the House having resumed, the report
was ordered to be brought up on Friday next.
The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and
he House adjourned at twelve o'clock.

The debate in the House of Lords on Tuesday night,
on the Tenants' Compensation (Ireland) Bill, was at
once entertaining and instructive. We have no wish to
speak invidiously of Irish landlords. Their conduct has
been, no doubt, in former years very highly culpable ;
but we are strongly impressed with the belief that, as a
body, they are now, and have for some time past, ex-
tensively improved both in the discharge of the duties
exacted by the relations in which they stand to their
tenants, and their own personal deportment in the dis-
charge of their duties to society in general. And at all
times, both among her native proprietors and her Eng-
lish owners, she has reckoned individual landlords not to
be surpassed for intelligence, steadiness, and liberality
by those of any other country in Europe. Among
all political parties and all religious persuasions these
excellent examples have been found. The Presbyterians
of the north, the Roman Catholics of the south, the
Protestant aristocracy of England, the ancient nobility and
gentry of Ireland, have, in many instances, shown a degree
of patriarchal kindness to their tenantry—consulting and
providing for their wants, aiding the improvements of
their homesteads, building chapels and schools for them,
cutting and improving roads fur their accommodation,
and at heavy charges to themselves—which may well be
allowed to be set against a large account of by-gone
generations of delinquent landlords. Still, it must be
allowed that these have been, and are, but brilliant ex-
ceptions to a general rule, tried by which, the majority
cf Irish landlords are certainly far behind the great
bulk of the same class in England. And this proposi-
tion we think we can establish by a very simple test.
The principle that the tenant who has but the usufruct
for a limited term of that property which his landlord
holds either for a much longer term, or abso-
lutely in fee, should receive compensation for such per-
manent improvements as he has made in that property
during his tenure of it, is one of simple equity, to put it
at its lowest value. It might also be shown that it is
also one which it should be the policy of the State
to encourage. It seemed somewhat strange on Tues-
day night to find so many Peers, Irish landlords, con-
tending, on their own behalf and that of other Irish
landed proprietors, that this equitable and politic prin-
ciple would be ruinous in Ireland. It seemed some-
what remarkable to find such a combination of opponents
to the measure as the Marquis of LONDONDERRY and
Lord MONTEAGLE, the Marquis of CLANRICARDE and
Lord BEAUMONT. We greatly doubt whether any
English landlords of large possessions could be found,
who would venture to denounce so fair a principle,
when affirmed on the part of English tenants. Why,
then, should that which is fair, equitable, and
expedient quoad the English tenant, be treated
otherwise than expedient, equitable, and fair
in respect of the Irish tenant ; and with regard to
the former Lord CAMPBELL expressly affirmed that the
principle of English law was decidedly in favour of this
principle of the Bill. We could understand the opposi-
tion of the other Peers to the Bill, if it had rested on
Lord CAMPBELL'S assumption that the clause to which
he particularly adverted was so worded that it would
make compensation compulsory on the landlord, even
where the tenant had made alterations, &c., which were
decidedly prejudicial to the property. With submission
to the Noble and Learned Lord these would be very
" Irish" cases of improvements indeed, and it is only for
" improvements" that the Bill proposes to secure com-
pensation to the tenant.
In his reply Lord STANLEY appears to have completely
disposed of this objection by showing that the details of
the measure had been so prepared as to guard against
sanctioning such an abuse. And we must
remember that Lord STANLEY'S authority
in support of this Bill is to be taken
quite apart from all political considerations ; because,
much to his honour, he is well known to be one of the
most popular and considerate landotvners in that part of
Ireland in which his estates are situatsd.
We are quite satisfied, upon the grounds assigned by
many Peers in this debate, that the Bill requires and
will receive important modifications in Committee. But
on the best consideration we have hitherto been able to
give to the question, we do not see the force of the Mar-
quis of SALISBURY'S objections to have the clause com-
pulsory on the landlord. Certain we are, that if in
other remedial measures intended, honestly enough, as
we believe the present one to be, for the benefit and
social improvement of the Irish people, their principle
had been made compulsory on the landlord, the tenantry
of that country would never have been in the melancholy
condition in which the mass of them have so long been
plunged. Besides, if the principle of compensation
to the tenant for improvements effected by him
in the property be sound and just, why should
the landlord, who intends to act honestly by him, object
to its being compulsory upon him to administer it ? The
right of the landlord to prevent projected improvements,
where he may show good ground to the Commissioner
or other authority under the Bill, for anticipating that.
they will be too costly, or otherwise objectionable, will no
doubt be provided fur by the Committee on this Bill.
For our own parts, we quite enter into the wish ex-
pressed by the Duke of RICHMOND, that the same prin-
ciple should be extended to the tenant in England and
in Scotland ; which was the best answer supplied, in the
course of the debate, to the question put by Lord CLAN-
RICARDE—why the clause confining the operation of the,
Act exclusively to Ireland should not be omitted.

We hope and believe that this is not the only fruit we
are to expect from the Tenure of Land Commission in
Ireland, over which the Earl of DEVON presided. But
we are far from disposed to undervalue i:, taking it even
upon its own isolated merits. It must be evident to
every dispassionate mind which has addressed itself to
the domestic condition of Ireland since the commence-
ment of the present century, that much of the ill feeling
that has existed there against the landlords has been
owing to the cruel manner in which compensation for
actual expenditure on the permanent improvement of the
lands leased or rented by them has been habitually with-
held. We are bound to add, that we look upon the Bill
as another earnest that the Government is seriously set-
ting itself to the task of redressing practical grievances
in the state of Irish society by practical means.

The intelligence from Madrid is to the 17th. The
QUEEN., it was understood, would remain at Barcelona
till the 25th, then leave for the waters of Esparraguera,
and return to Madrid about the middle of July. MAR-
TINEZ DE LA RoaA, who had completely recovered from
his late illness, was to leave in a few days to join the
Court in Catalonia. A Cabinet Council was held at
Madrid on the 16th, and on breaking up dispatches were
sent off for Paris and London. They were understood
to relate to the abdication of Don CARLOS and the
QUEEN'S marriage. According to the Clamor Public°
the liberty of the press is to be abolished forthwith by
a royal decree.
