To-day, in the Second Chamber, M. Van Thor beck aaked the government whether the assertion of Count Bismarck, that Holland had offered her services inthe Luxemburg negotiations, was founded on any other basis than a misunderstanding. The Minister for Foreign Affairs replied that no nego tiations with Prussia, but merely diplomatic con versations had taken place with reference to Luxemburg. Holland, if not directly, was at any rate indirectly interested in the Luxemburg ques tion, and in offering their services in the matter the government of the Netherlands had wished to show that they had no responsibility in the ques tion. The minister announced with great pleasure that Count Bismarck had declared all connexion between Limburg and Germany to have ceased to exist, and added that henceforth the Netherlands government would neither mix itself up officially or semi-officially in the affairs of Luxemburg. The following is the despatch of Count van Bylandt, the Dutch minister at Berlin, to which the Minister for Foreign Affairs referred in announcing the ces sation of all connexion between Limburg and Germany :—" In reply to a question from me to day, the Prussian minister-president authorises me to declare in his name that the Prussian govern ment considers Limburg to be entirely freed from all political connexion with Germany. Count Bismarck adds that he is willing to confirm that statement shortly by an official document of some kind or other, though he thinks such a formality superfluous after the vote of the North German parl►ament. PARIS, Aran. 6. The Prase of this evening says : "We learn that the British and Russian Cabinets, in reply to a question from the Prussian Government, have declared that the dissolution of the Germanic Confederation having put an end to the engagements contracted through the treaty of 1839 by the King of Holland, they do not con sider themselves authorized to address, in virtue of that treaty, any observations to the Dutch King with reference to any decision which his Majesty may think fit to take with regard to Luxemburg." The French government has still under considera tion the question of the cession of Luxemburg to France. It considers that the engagements entered into by the King of Holland are too binding for him to withdraw without the consent of France. PRUSSIA. BERLIN, Amu'. 5, Dame. The semi-official North German Gazette of this evening says:—" A paragraph has been going the round of the London press giving an extract from a speech alleged to have been delivered by the King of Denmark in reply to a Danish deputation, and in which K ing Christian is reported to have said in conclusion, that even in the most southern and decidedly German districts of Schleswig people declared they would rather die with Denmark than degenerate with Prussia.' We believe we must class this paragraph in the list of impudent and clumsy inventions. The persistency with which such things are circulated abroad in reference to Prussia is a fact worthy of attention by all who are called to participate in the work of constituting German unity." THE ITALIAN MINISTRY. FLORENCE, APRIL 5. General Menabrea is said to have been entrusted with the formation of the new ministry. It is be lieved that he will be President of the Council of Ministers and Minister for Foreign Affairs. Signor Ratazzi, it is said, will be Minister of the Interior. It is also rumoured that the portfolio of Minister of Justice has been offered to Signor Crispi, and that of Commerce to Signor Ferrario. The Diritto of this evening says that Signor Crispi has been offered the Ministry of Justice, but has declined it. THE CRETAN INSURRECTION. CORFU, APRIL 4. It is stated from a Greek source that after three days' fighting Baal Hos, at the head of a large number of insurgents, has beaten and repulsed the Turks as far as the camp at Rethymnoe. Hadji Michaeliu is also reported to have gained a victory over the Turks near Canes. FRANCE. PARIS, Aran. b. The Etendard of this evening announces that the conversion of the arms of the infantry regiments actively continues, and that a large portion of the army will soon be provided with the Chassepot rifle. The Prince Imperial is said to be fast re covering from his recent illness, and the Empress Eugenie is quite restored to health. AMERICA. (inr ILTLAWTIO TILEORLPH.) NEW YORK, APRIL 5, 6 F.M.

The attendance at the clubs to-day, although not ever nume mus, was influential, and in the course of the afternoon a con siderable amount of business was trammeled. For the Chester cop, Lecturer was a decided favourite, 8 to 1 being the longest price obtainable, and these odds were kindly accepted to about C 160. Hiss Havelock, Proacrpthe, Mdlle. Cleopatra, and llama were the next In demand, and several outsiders were backed, but not for any grad amount. For the Two Thousand, Plaudit was in a slightly improved !width's. the Ts to 1 that were from time to time offered being kindly acecpted. Julius maintained Ma position as second favourite, for, although not backed, 7 tO would have been taken. Hermit found plenty of investors at 100 to 13 and 8 to 1, and 3 to 1 wee also taken with a run. Slarksman and Vauban were each in request, the first presenting a somewhat formidable appearance, and end ing takers at 11 sad 10 to 1. Several outsiders were offered to he laid against, hut little else was done. For the Derby The Rake was still at 7 to 1 offered, responded to hy a proposal to accept to 1. Hermit was also in force for Mb event, 1,800 to 200 being taken on one band, and sonic other minor Investments were made on tile same terms. leEstournel was In anything but good odour, the large offer of 4,000 to 400 being made, and the pro. portlonate odds of to 1 quoted without a response. Plaudit was still out of favour for this event, coutinuous offers of 100 to 8 passing disregarded. The horse lacked for mot money was Tarahan, about whom 1,000 to 40, 1,000 to 45, and 20 to 1, were taken In succession. Grand Cross was also in demand, 1,000 to 40 was taken once, sad at 1,000 to 35 he would have been still further supported Against the two coupled. 1,000 to 100 was offered, but without meeting with a taker.

THE OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE BOAT RACE.— There was no training pursued yesterday morning. In the afternoon the Cantabe went out thrice for paddles in their different boats, in order to ascertain which suited them beat. They only went between the bridges and had occa sional spurts. Their boats went fast, at :ti strokes per minute, and this was occasionally augmented. The Oxo nians came down the whole course with a good tide. They went off at about 34 strokes, afterwards rowed 36 all the way to near home, when they put it on in fine style, in- creasing to 38 and finishing at 40, well pulled through the water. They had a fine wind with them, and did the dis tance in 20 min. 5 sec. Betting 7t04 on Oxford.

She has all running gear rove, and has commenced bending sails. Cap tain Low having arrived at Southampton from New York on Saturday last to take charge. The spring is more than usually backward in the island, and it seems probable yes eels will be late in fitting out, there being but very few at present who have made the least move. The Florence, his Grace the Duke of Leeds, is the only vessel about the station, and has kept almost solitary guard the whole of the winter.

Mr. Or. wore, addressing the members present, said— If you think it is time that we should commence, I will venture to remind you of the understanding with which we closed the proceedings of our kit meeting on the 21st of March. At that time, with your authority, and cer tainly, as fax as I could judge at the time, with your unani mous authority, I was to do three things. Besides point ing out a number of general objections to various im portant provisions in the government reform bill, I was to press for an early day for the committee on the bill. I was to urge the recognition of this principle— that the per sons whom parliament may invest with a title to the franabins, whether few or many, should, so far as depends on parteratent, have equal access to the enjoyment of it, and finally I was, in assenting to the second reading of the bill, to reserve every liberty of reconsidering our position in case the declarations of the o vernment between the second reading and the com mittee should not be such as to afford any prospect of entering into committee with advantage. Since that time we have bad the debate on the second reading of the bill, and we have now to consider our course under the present circumstances. and I think, gentlemen, with reference to the proposal that ought to be made, I ought to endeavour to define what I conoeive to be the end that we have in view t i v • means we have to take must be governed main y he nature of the end. We desire three things, one of w ich is paramount and the others highly impor tant. The first thing we desire is that a good reform bill should be passed—by that, meaning a bill that should give a liberal enfranchisement so far as the question of the franchise is concerned, and then put an end to the agitation of the question. (Cheers.) We desire in the second place that a good reform bill should be during the present session of parliament—(hear,hearr s2 all thirdly, we desire that it should be passed, if possible, through the medium of the present government. (Hear, hear.) These are, I think, the three objects we have be fore us, and allow me to say that when on the occasion of our former meeting, I stated that I abandoned all idea of opposing the second reading, and recommended others to do the like, I did not conceive that I was merely ad journing to the question of the Speaker's leaving the chair the revival of that object. In determining to abandon op position to the second reading of the bill, I virtually bound myself to a great deal wore. I bound myself, and, so far as was in my power, I bound those who thought with me, to take every means of working the bill through the com mittee if possible. We have now to consider our position in reference to the objects I have named. I think we are so far agreed as to the provisions of the bill which I went over rapidly as the occasion of our former meeting that I need not advert to those again. There seemed an almost uni versal concurrence of opinion as to the defective and wholly unsatisfactory character of the provisions of the bill as it then stood, and as to the kind of amendments we should endeavour to introduce. Now, in adopting this view, that we are, if possible to work the bill through committee, and make what we may call a bad bill into a good bill, without at the same time having the direction of the committee in our hands—do not let us disguise front ourselves that we are pledging ourselves to a very difficult task. I must frankly own I cannot state too strongly my conviction that it is a task which is difficult under the most favourable circumstances, but which will become entirely hopeless unless we are able to adopt a common course, and to pursue that course moderately, but with resolution. Rely on it, nothing is more certain than this, that total failure and discredit awaits us in the country unless we campull together. If we look back to the speeches on the second reading, and if we look particularly to the speeches of the members of the cabinet, undoubtedly they are speeches that afforded very little daylight. I think the speeches of Mr. Hardy and the SolaitorGeneral did nothing to advance or to secure our position. On the speech of the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, able as it was, a very different construction was put, and the general opinion and belief was that in the speech, although with great skill the Chancellor of the Exchequer avoided committing the government to any concessions whatever beyond the dual vote —(hear, bear)—from that speech the general impres sion given to the public was that provided an adequate pres sure was brought to bear upon the government the conces sions will be sufficient to give effect to the purpose we have in view, that of making a good bill out of a bad bill. That is the persuasion under which, in concert with those I have endeavoured to consult—and I have not failed in that duty througlaarant of willingness or exertion—that is the view on whielfwe propose to act. (Cheers.) We propose to mooted on the 'principle that pressure from the hberal party is the means by which we niay entertain the hope of bringing the bill into a shape in which we can look forward with midis faction to see it passedipto a law. That pressure must, no doubt, be a firm pressure, and you will likewise support me when I say it must be a gentle pressure. It must be a pressure carefully and studiously divested, so far as we are concerned, and, so far as in our power, of anything that can make it invidious and uffebove. (Hear, hear.) We must consider our object as the one important matter, and we must endeavour in our mode of proceeding to do no thing which may afford a justifiable cause or a plausible pretext to any one for saying that he imposed an intolerable burthen on the government in trying to compel them to take this or that course. (Loud cheers.) If these be the right principles on which our proceedings should be founded, I come to the conclusion that we may safely leave to be dealt with in committee, provided other matters be arranged, all propositions that can be dealt with as single propositions. In the debate on the second reading I did not hesitate to imply that questions of great importance— such as the county franchise and the redistribution of seats—might be dealt with in committee. Igo further. I will say that even the figure of the borough franchise might be dealt with in committee—nay, more, there is another point which I look at as going to the root of the whole matter, which, so far as regards London, is really the most vital point in the bill—the lodger franchise—(hear, hear)—that might be dealt with in committee. In fact, everything that can be dealt with in committee we should leave to be dealt with in committee. But now comes the question, on what basis are we seeking the settlement of what is the capital subject of debate—the borough franchise. The basis laid down in the bill we have found unanimously to be unsatisfactory. (Cheers.) I ventured at the earliest stage to refer to the idea and to make the suggestion that if there was, as there is, in the House of Commons a desire to connect personal rating in some way or other as a test with the enjoyment of the franchise, it might be possible and just, andperhaps advantageous, to apply it as a negative ; that IS not to my, which I think is perfectly preposterous and untenable, that every man, whatever his condition in life, should be debarred from the franchise, or have difficulties imposed upon him, if lie endeavours to obtain it, because be is not a formal ratepayer. (Loud cheers.) But when you have a portion of society from whom rates cannot be collected, whose circumstances do not admit of the payment of rates, you may in their case admit that fact as indicatingthe point at which, in the pre sent state of the country and the state of the people as to education and independence of circumstances, the enjoy ment of the franchise is to end. That plan was received with favour when you last met. It has been received with favour in the House of Commons ; and even beyond the limits of our own party it is received with considerable favour also. If we are to adopt this plan—and this is the one on which I think we should proceed—we then find ourselves confronted by a necessity which arises out of the forma of the House of Commons. If we are to say that a certain portion of the community now liable to the payment of rates should be hence forth exempted from personal payment we must i,ake power not only to insert so many words in the Reform Bill, but likewise the power to readjust the law of rating on all pointa—(bear, hear)—which may arise in con nexion with that class of the community. If we pass a com pulsory provision running through the community and ex empting all persons under a given line, on which I shall not consult you or say anything to-day—for that may be left for committee— but if we are to make an exemption below a given line, we must, along with the exemption. consider what is to be the liability of the landlord, and what deduction if the landlord continues liable he is to make. Mr. Poulett Scrope would, perhaps, consider him self entitled to raise the question founded on his view, that such property should be exempted altogether—an economical question of vast importance and not in neces sary connexion with the franchise. But there are other questions : you have to consider whether the municipal votes of these persons are being reserved, and whether they are still to retain their votes in vestries ; and other questions are very likely to arise. But after the best in vestigation I have it in my power to make, I find it is necessary, in order to effect that view I have described in reference to the franchise, that we should arm the committee on the Reform Bill with power to alter the law of rating. The special point to which the alteration would go, and the most important and vital point, being the exemption from personal liability —(cheers)—below a certain line, that exemption would entail the necessity of considering other col lateral questions on which Ido not think we *hall meet with any insurmountable difficulty. With regard to the motive of the instruction to be given to Cm committee, I have no doubtyou are awareof the two fundamental points it involves. In the first place, it must be to give the com mittee some power it does not possess ; and consequently this inst: vetion, or one of this nature, would be neces sary, eith 1 for our purpose or for the purposes of the government if they shall accede to onr views, or for the purpose of enabling Lord Grosvenor—the cause of whose absence we must all deplore—(hear, bear)—to bring his amendments under the notice of the house. The second point is, that in point of form, as probably all gentlemen know, it is not an amendment to the Speaker leaving the chair. It is a preliminary to the motion th it the Speaker leaves the chair, and indeed of setting aside that [STAMPED, Id. ADDITIONAL ] motion, it assumes that he will leave the chair and assist the committee in the discharge of their duties. Pn doubtedly there are other reasons why the basis of the borough franchise should he presented in that form. And for this reason especially, that if, from the arrangement of the clauses in the bill, we should otherwise be compelled to deal with the borough franchise in the most inconvenient manner, and it would not be until we had arrived at the very cod of the hill an d came tobting up new clauses that we should know what the essential feature of the borough franchise was to be. The consideration I mainly wish to put before you is that if we are to entertain the plan which I take it parliament thinks • good one ; if we are to draw • line, this is a policy to which the committee can only give effect by our instructioc. Now, there is another point. I laid it down, and I feel it ex strongly as any one before me can feel, that, in discharging the difficult and responsible duty we have undertaken, we must endeavour to avoid any semblance of hoatilit7—(bear, hear)—hostility to the pro- VisiOnl of the bill I do not think it is possible to avoid—but hostility to the government as a government, or any mani festation of • disposition to get rid of the government by imposing on them unreasonable conditions—that is the hostility which it is oar duty to avoid. It is, then, im portant to consider who is to be the mover of the instruc tion, and I hope it will have your approval that, having taken advice in various quarters, I have ventured to request Mr. Coleridge to undertake the duty. I think there is no man who enjoys better favour with both sides of the house. There is no man who propounds his views with more refined delicacy and high prin ciple than Mr. Coleridge—(loud cheersl—and, Mr. Coleridge professional position enables him to deal with • question requiring some professional know ledge in the most satisfactory manner. (Hear, hear.) The instruction is, and you all see it is, simply confined to conferring upon the committee this extraneous power, and indicating the reason why this is dose :—" That it be an instruction to the committee that they have power to alter the law of rating, and to provide that in every parliamentary borough the occupiers of tenements below a given rateable value be relies-eft from liability to personal rating,. with • view to fi x a line for the borough franchise at and above that at which all mealier% shall be entered on the rate-book, and shall have equal facilities for the enjoyment of such franchise as a residential occupation franchise." (Loud and unanimous cheering.) I think it is not too much to say that, looking to the substance of that instruction,which goes merely to confer the power necessary to raw a hue that reduces the matter to the simplest issue, perhaps we may be inclined to ask each other what ia likely to be the effect of proposing this instruction. Well, we are in a position of great responsibility. I feel even more strongly than at the com mencement of the session that it is not the party that sits on the government benches, but that which sits on the opposition benches, hich w il l he held releineible fur the failure or success of this bill. Your responsibility is great, your power is perfect, but your power depends on your union. (Loud cheers.) My belief is that if you make a reasonable demand on the government it must succeed— (cheers)—but I own I ilo not think you would obtain con cessions from the government unless they are concessions which you manifest your power, I will not say to extort, bet to obtain foryounelves. Whaeverconcenions you show your power to obtain for yourselves you will obtain from the government. (Cheers.) That is the sense which I place on tliedeclaration of the government, sod that is the sense in which I invite you to act. I have spoken to you in this and in previous addresses as one who felt the difficulties of the situation ; but still it is one not destitute of the elements of encouragement. Look at what has happened during this week, although it has been • tranquil interval. I thought it well to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it was his intention to introduce site tieing into the hill. Either on Monday or 'Tuesday I put that question, and then hedistinctly informed the house that he intended to abandon the clause with respect to the dual vote, but that with respect to everything else we must enter into the discussion on the bill, trusting to the good faith of the government. But rumour has been busy during the intermediate days. It became known, I have no doubt, that it was your intention to press strongly for the enlargement of the franchise to be given by the govern ment bill, and the consequence was that last night we were told that clauses were in preparation which were not in the nature of alterations in the bill, but of additions to the bill, and were intended to assist the compound householders to obtain enfranchisement. Whet may be the value of these clauses it is impossible now to say. Whatever be their value, I cannot see that it can be other wise than wise to move that instruction, because that in struction contemplates drawing a line which the committee would not otherwise have the power to draw. I think, however, we may assume that the clauses are intended to make the bill more acceptable to the liberal party, and if so. I shall contemplate them with great satis faction, because I feel they will make it much easier for the government to accede to the principles we lay down, to do away with the frivolous and needless distinction between man and roan, and to concede frankly to the principle that the franchise should be enjoyed equally by those in scondi tion of life and • position of independence which will give them a title to the franchise. If it had been in my power I would not have requested your attendance here until we had been in possession of the new clauseri, and if this was a time when an opposition should search for causes of com plaint rather than look them over and treat them lightly, I think that we might complain that these clauses touching a moat important part of the subject—because two thirds of the householders below 10/. are compound house holders—that these clauses, I say, will not be in our posses iiionuntil to-morrow morning, and that we have, therefore, no power to take a parliamentary step upon them before the bill goes into committee. No one here will he fettered in his discretion in discussing these clauses by any thing which has now pissed or which may be agreed upon. (Hear, hear.) Being totally ignorant of their cha racter, I cannot speculate on the subject. Our duty has been to call you together at the latest moment when we could premed in conformity with parliamentary rules, and give due notice of our intentions. If we have not done all that is desirable, I trust that you will see that we have done all that is in our power. (Cheers.) I think if we are enabled to proceed, as thus far we have proceeded —I mean unitedly —we have every prospect of bringing this difficult and con tested question to a satisfactory solution. (Cheers.) Ido not think that that is a state of things in which we should feel any distrust of ourselves or of the prospect before us. If any oue has a right to feel this it is I. I have the most painful conviction of my inefficiency in giving effect to your wishes in circumstances so difficult as those in which we are placed ; but I do not wish to shrink from endeavouring to attain whatever is possible. (Loud cheers.) To attempt the impossible is not the act of • rational man; but to attempt the possible is, and if I am favoured with the hope of being able to assist in maintaining that union and concord in our ranks which we have thus far main tained, I shall go forward cheerfully to discharge my part of the duty, and I shall endeavour to discharge it in the spirit in which you wish it to be dischaiged, and with every hope of success. (Loud and prolonged cheen. I Mr. Loexe—The instruction to the committee should be limited to that portion which gives them the power to alter the law of rating. If you take the other part of the instruction it is open to objection. It way be urged very strenuously by those who are opposed to it that by taking the other part we are lessening the number of persons to be placed on the register. In one direction it would incrense that number, but in another it would diminish it, be cause it proposes to draw a particular line below which persons cannot have the suffrage. Now, the proposi tion of the government is this—that a MALI who is a householder and pays his own rate is to have a vote ; but this proposition goes to this extent, that if a person is a householder, but is rented below • particular line, he is to have so vote. Therefore whatever may be our view on the subject, I think it would not be advantageous to us to put the *hole of this instruction on the paper, because objections might be made to it by many gentlemen who take a different view from that which is embodied in the instruction as to the mode in which the question should be settled. But if we adopt merely the first part of the instruction, it will be equally competent afterwards to move the latter part, or, indeed, any other amendment which any ben. member may wish to move. Mr. Avuroa—lt is oar duty to consider, in the first place, whether we cannot find any common ground on which we tan act. We are about to take a step which demands forbearance from our side, and tends to obviate contro versy on the other aide of the ham. Let us hope that while we are obviating controversy with the other side, we may also avoid controversy against ourselves, and with that view, when • proposition is made by our owe leader, we must not be quick to take exception to it. The instruc tion may be regarded as • disappointment to a certain view which may be taken of the franchise. I will not stay what my view is, because my wish is to adopt wane pro petition one common ground for Ile all, and, therefore, without reference to any own opinion, that it seems to me that an appeal should be made for individual forbearance, and for each of us to make concessions so as to get • common ground of mutual action, I think the right bon. gentleman will find that common ground in committee on the course he now ).ropose. We are not now finally disposing of the question. We should do well, if, in grappling with the government who have introduced a very had bill, we were to put our selves into the hands of the leader of the opposition. and deal with the matter as if he were the leader of the govern ment and had introduced a reform bill Anal I am sure that the more bon. gentlemen will forego their own per sonal pretensions, anal will allow the leader of the liberal party to deal with the bill in committee as he deems advisable, the better it will he for the country and for the liberal party, snit the more likely to result in our obtain ing • good measure. Mr. CLAY—The beet way is to go into committee armed i w n i to th a s g u: od h be necessary to turn a bed bill see how far it will help us, and how far it will impede us powers as " looli na a y t that instruction very much to in committee. If the instruction had been simply to confer powers on the committee of dealing with a subject with which it could not deal without that power, I for one, and I believe every gentleman hem would have done nothing [TWOPENCE but accept it with pleasure. But that purpose is carried out in the fi rst line ; and I should Lave much liked that the instruction should have stopped there. But the instruction goes ou beyond and lap down a parti cular phut. Now, such is my 000fidence in the right bon. gentleman that I should be ready to adopt that or any other plan that he might propose. But I say that it is not necessary to lay down such a plan in the instruction. However broadly you do that you mum in contact with the small rag of principle that is left in the goveroment bill—the personal payment of rates. It is very true that the Chancellor of the Exchequer has given evidence of an unusual disposition to be guided by the House of Commons to make the bill along with the House of Commons, and in aoconlance with their wishes—to grant almost, if not everything we wish. But he will not make concessions before going into committee. His promises of concessions point to concessions to Le made in committee, and although my opiuion may be of very little value, I give my opinion with the deepest sin cerity that that instruction is fatal to the bill, whereas we might make a good bill if we contented ourselves with the first line only. Mr. Gi.aonroor—Allow me to say that it is totally im possible for me under any circumstances and conditions whatever to accept the suggestions which Mr. Clay has made. He sap that we ought to content ourselves with asking for power to alter the law of rating. But so long as I am your leader, and I have the responsibility of the posi tion, I must consider the ground on which I move. U I ask you to vote for an instruction to alter the law of rating, what is that but placing you before the government as men in favour of limiting the sulftege in oar diseseiew, with out showing your readiness to enlarge it in another, apt, therefore, without vindicating this grounds on which you act? I do not doubt the good intenti ons w ith w hi c h Mr. Clay's suggestions were made but I cannot accede to then). Colossi FRE); 01 sulgesteci that Mr. Gladstone, as the ablest member of the betel party, should himself move the instruction. Mr. plasm—lt seems to me that we are now bound, in consideration of our position as a party and in the inte rests of this great cause, not to act in a manner that should be, or should appear to be, hostile to the bill of the go ' vernment. We who are in favour of reform are in a majority in the house. Those who Kit opposite us are not remarkable for their affection to the cause. Being a majority of the house and being reformers, we have a right to say that whatever bill shall pass through the house shall be a bill satisfactory to the majority. who are reformers, and shall not be squared according to the pattern of the minority, who are not reformers. Having come to that conclusion, I think there is another easily arrived at, and which we have ar rived at before. That Is, that the bill as it now stands is not a parable bill, and cannot be accepted in its present shape. Well, before we go into committee, the advantage of the future rests with us ; but if we go into committee having drawn no line and decided oo policy, then depend on it the advantage on all future proceedings will rest with the government, and the party whom they represent, which party is not in favour of making this bill a satisfactory bill. Well now, what is it we are proposing to do ? Mr. Gladstone called it putting a gentle—l hope everybody in the house will be of opinion that it is gentle—but, at say rate, a wholesome pressure on the government. Now, Mr Disraeli, in every speech he has really made, has asked, " Are there no patriots to come and help and assist me in laming • god bill, and settle this question on a firm fouudation r Well, this is all we propose to do by the instruction that has been read to the meeting. It is easy to say that the government bill confers a large extension of the franchise. It does give such a franchise in a small number of boroughs, but in a greater number of boroughs it gives a franchise little snore extended than at present ; and the objection to it is, that in one borough it gives nearly household suffrage, and in another a suffrage little more extended than at present. Therefore it is impossible that the bill can be accepted as it is. Then comes the question whether the house will agree to alter the bill so as to make it con fer household suffrage universally. I don't believe that the House of Commons is in favour of the change. I wish the house were. I should support it with a great deal of pleasure ; but, the house not being in favour of this, I should be sorry that the Lill should come out of committee as it goes in, and without sonic provision for a wide extension of the franchise in the many boroughs in which it will remain limited under the government bill. I understand the proposition of Mr. Gladatoue to be that rather than have this confused and absunl system, we will take another course, and propose something that will give for all boroughs equally a very wide and generous ex tension of the franchise, such as the great majority of the house will assent to, which irillput au end to all agitation, and will satisfy the people. I think we ma attain name good result in that way. Mr. Gladstone referred towhat was said last night in the house. Of coure the Chancellor of the Exchequer knows exactly whiu these meetings are to be held, and perhaps the announcement which he made last night was not uninfluenced by our meetinghere today. Now, it is just midrib!s that he may propose to place the compound houeeholders under lig. in as good a position as the compound householders above 10/. If he purposes that I think be would do that which it will be very amusing to see the conservative party consent to. But be would propose that which many of use here are nut able and are nut disposed to reject. Therefore it is just possible, although we are only three days from the motion that the Speaker leave the chair, it is just pos sible that a proposition may be made by the government that will render it unnecessary and undesirable to take any steps before the bill goes into committee. But stand ing as we are, and knowing what we do know, I give my most cordial assent to the instruction. I give my most cordial assent to what we have heard from Mr. Ayrton. If any member of the house be placed in the position which Mr. Gladstone occupies in regard to this party— I hope almost, if not entirely, by universal ooesent— we shall avoid finding faults, which any one eau do in anything human, if ho will only take the trouble, but we should give him our confidence, anal give it to him cm the principle that Mr. Ayrton so well laid down —that we should give him the None kind of confidence, give it him to the same extent and support him in the name manner that we should don members of this party, if he were at this moment leader of the House el Com mons or Prime Minister of the country. Mr. Hectors asked why no reference was made to the lodger franchise in the instruction. Mr. GLAInvroNE-14 is not necessary to give the com mittee power by an instruction to deal with this point. I regard a lodger franchise, however, as essential to a good bill. Indeed, I have the strongest opinion in reference to it. The proceedings then terminated. TIPPERARY ELECTION COMMITTEE. At the close of Mr. Macnamsra's speech the committee room was cleared, and the committee remained in delibe ration fur two Lours. Oa the readmission of the public, The Chairman said—l have to inform the parties that the committee have arrived at the following resolutions :- - "That the Hon. Captain White is duly elected a knight of the shire to serve in parliament fur the county of Tip perary. That no such case of general rioting at the last election for the county of Tipperary has been proved as would make the said election null and void. That it was proved to the committee that previous to the last election for the county of Tipperary divers of the Ronan catholic clergy exercised their influence upon their congregations in a manner calculated to preudice the free choice of the electors, but that such con duct on their part did not, in the opinion of the committee, amount to the offence of un glue influence as defined by law. That serious disturb ances took place at the last election at the pl lliag places, and in other localities, which greatly interfered with the elector' tendering their votes. That the committee have no reason to believe that corrupt practices extensively prevailed at the last election for the county of Tipperary. The proceedings then terminated.
