THE IRISH LAND BILL.
In the Hoose of Commons, speaking on one of the amendments of the Irish members, Mr Forster, Chief Secretary for Ireland, said the Government was ready to give a favorab'e cons’de<ation to any clauses for the amelioration of the condition of laborer. The Land Bill had three objects— eform of land tenure, increase of the yeoman proprietors, and the relief of overcrowded districts. The latter would he effected If the Slate, and in the direction of ei. or public woiks. The increase of peasant proprietors would be effected by advancing money to enable tenants to purchase holdings. The reform of land tenure was composed of three principles—a li'buoal iO fix a fair rent, with fixety of tenure and a power to a .'enant to sell his interes in his farm. The pill would do the lanlords no harm, but would confer benefit to them.
