FOREIGN COMMERCE,

Mr. MAC LEAN gave notice that on the 26th instant he
should call the attention of the house to the petition presented
from Glasgow, relating to the state of the foreign commerce
of. the country.

REGISTRATION OF VOTERS (IRELAND).
On the motion of Mr. E. TENNENT, the house went into
committee on .the Registration of Voters (Ireland, No. 2)
Bill. The clauses were agreed to without amendment, and
the bill ordered to be read a third time.

The Sugar Refining Patent Bill was read a second time.

WESTERN AUSTRALIA BILL

After a short discussion the Western Australia Bill was
read a second time and ordered to be committed.

RECOVERY OF TENEMENTS BILL.

Mr. AGLIONBY moved that the house resolve itself into
committee on the Recovery of Tenements Bill.
I~nTCii LL tru.sicLl-hat. the hon. member would
postpone this bill until another session, as many country
gentlemen who were anxious to take part in the debate were
absent.
Mr. AGLIONBY said the bill had been before the house
three sessions, and therefore he could not consent to any fur-
ther postponement. He should if possible, pass it through
parliament before the adjournment.
Sir H. SCGDEN, at considerable length, opposed the bill.
Ile considered it would be giving a great advantage. to the
rich over the poor, and, therefore, he moved as an amend-
ment, that the bill be committed that day three months. The
real object of the bill was to turn every humble tenant out of
his premises, at the will of the landlord ; and that was a
principle which he wished a British-- House. of Commons
would never sanction. (Hear.) A more- objectionable
measure, he firmly believed, was never brought under the'
consideration of the legislature. It was an attempt to grind
the poor for the benefit of the rich.
Sir E.WILmoT said he entirely differed in opinion with
the right hon. gentleman; he did- not think the bill would
interfere with the rights and interests of the poor;. if he for
a moment entertained such an idea, he would oppose it with
all his power; but be believed it would have a contrary
effect, and that it would confer a great benefit on the public.

r AG LIONUY defended the provisionsof the bill, and
nied that it was at all calculated to support tyranny or op-
pression. The bill had been fully considered by a fair and
important committee, and therefore he felt it his duty to per-
severe with it.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL strongly supported the bill. If
it was au unpopular measure he was willing to have his share
of the unpopularity, fur he had always been a strenuous sup-
porter of the ever since its first introduction, three years,
since. The hon. and learned member contended that the bill
Would confer a benefit upon all parties, and he was sure it
would be well received by the public.

COUNTY REGISTRATION.

All conservatives should remember the advice‘ofSir Ttobe,rt
Peel—register ! register!! register !.! ! for it is in the regis-
tration courts that the battle of the election is really fought.
Under the existing law, no Person; whateYer may be his pro-
perty, can vote whose name is not on the register; antrev,cry
person who is on the register is liable to be objected to: It
therefore toehovee•all-partie. to ascertain accuratoly whet are
the qualifications and what are the requirements of the act,, in
order to Make such qualifications operative.
Parties already on the .retristei' should 'remember that if
they have changed their qualification, or changed their resi-
dence, they must send in a new 'Claim to be reeistei err t6' He
overseer of the parish in which their property is situate, and
with such claim the sum of one shilling.
Parties not already on the register should bear in mind
that every freeholder to the amount of /Ns. a-year and np-
wards:having•had possession'six tediiths preyi.oolll?e 31st

under certain restrictions entitled to be registeted, but. these
restrictions are hardly capable of a satisfactory explanation
in the columns of a newspaper, and' therefore we must refer
our readers to the Conservative Association, where they will
