LONDON, August 5th.-ln The House OF
Lords, in committee, the consideration Of
clause 9TH of the Land Bill was resumed
this evening.
Lord Salisbury, Conservative, moved
stay of proceedings under the Act and that
the rent Of the holding should not be re-
duced on account of any sum paid by a
tenant or his predecessor on coming into
holding. Lord Salisbury said he had as
sented to the second reading in the hope
that this amendment would be accepted.
The Governmenment opposed the amend
ment. Many Of the Conservative and also
some of the Wings asked Lord Salisbury
not to press his amendment, which was car

vent the transferring Of the tenants in
terest of the landlords estate.

have been adopted.

LONDON, July 2sth.-A Paris correspond
ept of the Tunes says that the reason for
fastening the date OF the general election
is that General Souissier, the French com.
mander in Algeria, sent n confidential rc-
port to Paris that q serious instruction
might be expected to break out in Sepiem.
