The adjourned discussion 011 tho motion moved yesterday to lay tho report of the Lands Committee on the tablo and tho amendment thereto, to the effect that the minutes of the committee meetings be also laid before the House, was resumed this afternoon after other forma] business had beon disposed of. Tho question was again talked out, principally by leaseholders, until the dinner adjournment, and it accordingly stands deferred until Monday afternoon, when tho oxporience of the past two days may or may not be repeated. In the meantime the bill, of course, remains suspended, like Mahomet's coflin, in mid-air. It has emerged from the privacy of the committee room, but it has not yet reached the table of the House.
It is stated that there is .a probability of a compromise being arrived at in regard to the bill, so far a,s the present session is. concerned, and that it will not be brought on till next year.
