LONDON, July :s'.-The Land bill, as II
emerged from the Committee this morning
is pastly improved. The measure, though
imperfect in some respects. is Il compromise;

ls,cnt. despite systematic obstruction. Fri
ya.e accounts from Ireland show thai
the tenant-far1ntrs appreciate Mr. Glad
stnnr's great work. The measure was
constructed clause by clause, on lines laid
down l,y the Government. Mr. Gladstone
I,:ts shown a spirit Of cancellation, though
tenaciously holding to the leading principles
of the measure. Last night. for instance,
lie offered resistance to The principle Of conf
pensating landlords, Tie discussion was
one Of the most singular oh tile
Land bill There had been a widespread
feeling that SIr. Gladstone should have
compensated the landlords and made greater
concessions TO tile tenants. Sucll Il step
would enable the Government 10 TO further
III raciticatins Ireland, and would have ex-
cln,;.ti The new principle in land legislation
which forms tile most striking feature "f the
measure, and constitutes precedent for Eli
elish aud Scotch Legislation.
THE 1~$EE WAS RAISED YESTERDAY
by Col. Earttelut, who proposed IL enable
landlords IL require the Government 10 pur-
chase their estates. Mr.. Gladstone argued
that it WAS no injury to the Landlords To have
Il fair rcEl fixed, which might be Increased.
Sir Stafford Northcote thought the proposal
unavoidable. The active Tories. let by Lord
Churchill, supported ii. Though The Wlligs
advocated tllis proposal months ago, they
now ran away. Lor.l Churchill rouhtly de-
nounced them. Mr.: Iarleil's extreme fol-
lowers joined the Tories, who considered
tile proposal nlcant clboWin:: .IandlordisiM out
OF Ireland. Moderate 1risll1ncu supported
tie Government The proposal was finally
rejected !,y I. majority Of sixty-three.
