Considerable misapprehension has, we believe, arisen in the minds of

foreigners residing in this country as to the intended operation of the "Removal of Aliens Bill," introduced into the House of Lords, on Monday last, by the Marquis of Lansdowne. The object of the proposed measure is simply to give to the Secre- tary of State and the Lord-Lieutenant the power to remove from the United Kingdom, by warrant under their hands respectively, aliens of disreputable cha- racter, whose presence and conduct may be deemed dangerous to the peace and social order of these realms. Under the sixth clause of this bill it is provided that foreigners who have been donficiled and settled in this country for the last seven years cannot in any way be affected by the act.—Times.
