fancy and enthusiasm, was more than once coughed down. Fox, who delighted his hearers with his argument, ig said on many occasions to have wearied them by his ite- ration. Pitt, Fox, and Bourke agreed to give the palm of ancient and modern elo- quence to the speech of Sheridan just men- tioned; and yet some doubts as to the. justice of the verdict cannot but suggest themselves, when we hear a speech of Lord liadnor, a few years later, spoken of by both Windham and Canning as the" best they had ever heard. Kither the degene- | racy of orators had taken place very rapidly, | |or such judgments must be taken with a) | little reservation.

Hon. Mr. Coes was rather astonished at the question. He was*not bound to fifteen years purchase ; and as to the question of the Loan, it never was intended to draw the whole amount at once, but aa it was wanted ; like they did in the neighboring colonics, where monies were advanced upon the guran- tees of the lmperial Parliament.—He believed that ifthe Tenantry could not procure their lands at less than fifteen years purchyeo, many of them owing large arrears of rent, the Award would make no improvement in their position.

Hon. Mr. Loneworrm, believed it waa rather unpolitic to enter inte the difficulties of the Land Question, which many Govern- ments had attempted ta solve. The Arbi- tration Question was suggested by a former Colonial Secretary, the it Honorable Sir Edwaad Bulwer Lytton, who pronounced it the only feasible plan, It was not ne- cessary now to go into the question.
