IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS.—MONDAY, JrNs 4. Their kedships met at 4 o'clock. METROPOLITAN RAILWAY ACT (ADDITIONAL POWERS) BILL Lord REDESDALE, in moving the second reading of this bill, said he wished to make a few remarks with regard to a provision limiting in certain cases the amount of compensation in respect of injury or death arising from an accident to a sum not exceeding 1001. In all the me tropolitan railway bills clauses had been introduced re qturmg the companies to run an early morning train and ewe at night. for the covenieuce of the working classes, to and from their place of business, the fares being fixed at ens penny each way, and the compensation in case of acci dent to these trains was limited to 1001. That was con eideved fair, and it had met the general approval of parliament. But this company, wishing to aooommo age these parties still more, had put on three trains in the morning and three in the evening, specially devoted to this purpose, and they also allowed the working chums to return in the evening by any train that was con venient to themselves. He had therefore recommended the insertion of a clause limiting the compensation in case of accident to the ordinary trains to those who bad work men's tickets to 1001. At the same time, the company said that, supposing the clause were not allowed to remain in the bill, they would be obliged to reduce the accomn)o dation to the labouring classes to one train each way per day. STANLEY offALDERLEY said, as he understood, the companies proposed to limit their liability by intro ducing • new principle. Lord REDESDAIX remarked that the principle was already introduced. It already existed in the set under which these trains had been started, and it was only rea sonable to apply it to those who travelled by the ordinary trains with a workman's ticket. The Earl of DERBY said he thought the explanation was quite satisfactory, inasmuch as it only extended the existing law in proportion as facilities were afforded by the railway companies. Lord EGERTON said clauses limiting the compensation to be given by railway companies had been proposed is the ether house of parliament, and rejected. Another objection to this clause was, that this was a private bill, and this emactmeat repealed the provisions of a public act. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY was understood to say that be should object to the introduction of a general prin ciple limiting the compensation of railway companies. Lord REDESDALE said the bill was an opposed bill, sad would go before a committee, and therefore anyone who wished to oppose the clause might do so before the committee. The bill was then read a second time. PRIVATE BILLS. The following bills were read a second time :--Glasgow City Improvements, &c., Bill, South Yorkshire Railway Bill, Wrexham and Miners Railway Bill, West Riding and Grimsby Railway (Transfer) Bill, and Presteign, Clue, and Bishop's Castle Railway Bill. The Barnsley Board of Health Bill, the Cleethorpe Gas Bill, and the Bridgewater and Taunton Canal and Bristol and Paster Railway Bill were read a third time and ponied. RAILWAY LEGISLATION. Lord REDI dd in moving that the standing orders be considered • ith a view to their being amended, com plained that, under those orders, as at present constituted, railway schemes were promoted by individuals as mere 8 4 )eculatioas without any guarantee as to the responsi bility of the persons promoting them. He proposed, therefore, that in future a subscription contract should be mitered into by twenty subscribers at least for two-thirds sf the share capital ; that the contract should contain a fall description of the subscribers, the amount and number .ef their shares, and the total amount paid up ; that a deposit of one-eighth of the subscribed capital should be paid into the Court of Chancery, and that no transfer of a share should have any validity unless at the time of such transfer three-fifths at least of the amount of such share paid up. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE contended that the duty of parliament in reference to railway legislation was simply to see that private property and rights were re spected, and moved as an amendment the appointment of a select committee to consider how far it was expedient to amend the standing orders relating to railways. Considerable discussion ensued, and eventually Lord Nedesdale's resolutions were withdrawn, and a motion was agreed to for the appointment of a select committee to ascertain if any alterations .in the standing orders were necessary or desirable. POOR PERSONS BURIAL (IRELAND) BILL. The Earl of BELMORE moved that the Lords insist on their amendments to this bill. The motion was negatived. THE NEW FOREST. Earl NELSON moved for any report or suggestions made to the Commissioner of Woods and Forests or to the Trea sury by Mr. (Mutton and others, as to the value of the New Forest if leased fur shooting purposes, and as to the best mode of dividing the same fur the purposes of public ten der, and any oorre.spondenco on the subject either with Mr. Cluthni or the deputy surveyor. Earl GRANVILLE said a bill had passed the other !muse to enable parties to take out leases for the shooting, sad it would be unfair to these parties that the corres npondence should be published. The motion was withdrawn, and the house adjourned at ten minutes to eight o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—MONDAY, Jima 4, The SIT...AKER took the chair at a few minutes before 4 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Barry Railway (Extension) Bill, the East London rastern Extension Railway Bill, the Midland Railway (Settle to Carlisle) Bill, the North Metropolitan Railway Bill, the Southgate and Colney Hatch Gas Bill, and the South London Market Bill, were read a third time and Famed. DISTRIBUTION OF SEATS. Mr. A. EGERTON gave notice that in committee upon the Reform Bill he should move that a member be given to Coagleton. VOTING PAVERS. Sir \V. STIRLING-MAXWELL asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in committee on the Retlistribu ton of Seats Bill and the Representation of the People Bills (Scotland and Ireland) he would propose amendments for the purpose of enabling the electors in the new uni versity constituencies to vote by means of voting papers, as the electors of the existing university constituencies of Oxford, Cambridge, and Dublin now had it in their /lower to do. • The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that be could give no answer to the question, except that this was &subject of great interest, and one well worthy of full dis oussion. THE EDUCATION GRANT. Mr. F. POW ELL asked the Vice-President of the Com mittee of Council on Education whether managers failing to present children for examination under the standards were entitled, under Revised Code 1866, to a grant per scholar according to the average number in attendance throughout the year at the morning and evening meetings, not being less than four hundred of their school. Mr. BRUCE said that since the Revised Code came into operation only one case had arisen similar to that suggested by the hou. gentleman, and in that instance, as no children were presented for examination, no grant was made. THE CAVALRY BARRACKS AT NORWICH. In reply to MT. WARNER. The Marquis of }IARTINCTON mid that as the troops would be accommodated in the new barracks at Colchester it was intended to give up the cavalry barracks at Nor wich. The lease expired that day, and the buildings would be handed over to the Dean and Chapter, to whom they belonged. IA laugh.) THE REFORM BILL. Lord ELCHO—I wish toask the Chancellor of the Exche quer the queatiou which rput to him on Friday night. I wish to know whether, in the event of the amendment of the hon. and gallant member for Wells being rejected, it is the intention of the government to proceed with the bill MOM before the house, by which I mean the united bill for the redistribution of seats and the extension of the franchise, aad to endeavour with their whole power to carry it through parliament during the present session. ((ries of " Oh, oh," and cheers.) Mr. HADFIELD—May I ask whether the Chancellor of the Exchequer has received notice from the hon. and gal lant gentleman the member for Wells that he does not in tend to press his amendment ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—In answer to my hon. friend the member for Sheffield, I must aay that I have not had the honour to receive any communi cation, either official or unofficial, from my hon. and gal lant friend the member for Wells. The question of my noble friend is no doubt founded upon the rumours which be alleged were in circulation on Friday last, that in the event of the rejection of the amendment of my hon. and gallant friend the government intended to abandon their united bill, and I understand Lim to ask whether there is any foundation for those rumours. Her Majesty's government havo neither said nor done anything whatever which could afford a foundation for those reports, or warrant their circulation, and they have formed no such intention as is suggested. As to anything beyond that, referring to proceedings in the latter portion of the session, that is a matter which can hardly be made the subject of a specific inquiry at the present moment, be cause in great political struggles of this kind there are always stele to be taken which cannot be made the sub ject of anticipatory decision, and with regard to which we must be guided by the consideration of the public interest and the circumstances of the time as we make progress. We have fanned no such intentions as the rumours re ferred to by the noble lord appear to suggest. (Cheers.) Sir H. CAlRNS—Although we have no right to rim the government for fresh explanations upon the subg already referred to, I think I may ask whether adhere to the resolution already announced, that they • not advise the crown to prorogue rairlianient—r Oh, oh," t d cheers)—until this bill has been either rejected or The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—Consider ing the nature of the issue which has been raised on the debate which is now going on ' • considering that it is an issue which involves at once the fate of the government and the fate of the bill ; and considering the answer that I have given to my noble Mend, I do not think I ought to proceed further in reply to the hon. and learned gentle man. (Cheers.) Mr. HADFIELD asked the hon. and gallant gentleman the member for Wells whether he intended to press his amendment to a division? Captain 1111 TER —lt is impossible for me to form any decision until we receive from the leader of the govern ment in this house the statement which we shall probably hear later in the evening. Sir T. BATESON—I wish to ask the hon. and gallant member for Wells whether any communication has been made to him either directly or indirectly that, in the event of the government getting a majority at this stage of the bill, there will be any manipulation of the Redistribution Bill t andahy re-arrangement which may make things more comfortable. Captain HAYTER—Certainly not. (Cheers.) Mr. HORSIIAN—We ought to have a distinct under standing as to the position which we now occupy with re gard to this subject, and I therefore wish to ask the Chan cellor of the Exchequer whether he adheres to the state ment which he made a short time ago, in answer to a ques tion asked by the hon. member for Brighton, that the go vernment intend to stand or fall by the bill, and that what he means by that is, that as long as the bill stands the go vernment stands, and when the bill falls the government falls. 'The CHANCELLOR of tire - EXCHEQUER—I appre hend that it is perfectly clear that in a case of this nature, when the government has expressly informed the house of its intentions and determination, it is their duty, if they subsequently alter that determination, to inform the house of the change—(hear, hear)—without waiting for such • question as has been put by my right hon. friend. That I apprehend to be absolutely required by the most elemen tary of their obligations to this branch of the legislature. Under these circumstances I need not say that, if we had changed any intentions which we have announced to the house, we should ourselves have been the parties to an nounce that change, and should not have waited for in quiries from any member of this house. (Cheers.) THE REFORM BILL • The adjourned debate upon the Representation of the People and Redistribution of Seats Bill was resumed by Lord J. MANNERS, who said that he objected to the measure, because it was introduced under circum stances which excited the gravest suspicion ; because there had been so much indecision on the part of the government; because it would create far more anomalies than it would destroy abuses; and further, because it would destroy the existing character of the county constituencies. (Hear, bear.) If it were true that the government never considered the questioe of reform till after the death of Lord Palmerston, they were certainly open to the charge of precipitancy and haste for the manner in which they bad brought the bills forward. (Hear, hear.) The ques tion which hon. gentlemen on his side of the house had to ask was, whether, as they appreciated the blessings of • constitution under which they had lived, as they had acted under no compulsion, as they had been unconvinced by any argument and unconverted by figures, they should support this measure. (Hear, hear.) On the contrary, he might say that if the issue rested with the party on the op position side of the house the bill would never becomelsw ; but it was notorious that it rested with the independent members of the great whig party. He would appeal to those hon. gentlemen to interpose, and prevent the further progress of a measure which must prove subversive of the best institutions of the country. (Cheers.) Earl GROSVENOR said that as he could not give a allent vote upon this occasion, he rose to state why he should give his vote in favour of the government—(minis terial cheers)—and against the resolution of the hon. and gallant member for Wells. (Hear.) The question with him was, whether by voting against the resolution, and thus keeping the government where they were, they would be doing anything else than defeating the measure of the government, for if they allowed the bill to go into committee he should hold himself perfectly free to oppose many parts of it tooth and nail, if he might use the ex pression, as in his opinion there were many por tions of the bill which were highly objectionable. (Hear.) Though he had little confidence in the government on the question of reform, when he reflected on the state of the affairs of Europe, and on their financial crisis, which had not yet subside d, and which, he was afraid, would not subside for some time, he held it to be of the greatest con sequence that the government should not resign office at the present time. Without in the least intending to re flect on the ability of gentlemen opposite he hoped he might be permitted to say that he had great confidence in Lord Clarendon, who had oonducted the foreign affairs of the country with great credit to himself and with great advantage to the nation. (Hear, hear.) He should be sorry to see him vacate office at the present time. (Hear, hear.) His own impression was that the chance of the bill passing that session was very remote in deed. (Hear, hear.) He would venture to appeal to his right hon. friend whether, as the feeling in the house and in the country—for the house was but a reflex of the opi nion of the country—was against the measure of the go vernment, he would not defer to that feeling, and ward off that opposition and disaster which would be fatal to him and to the government if he did not postpone until a more favourable opportunity and after more mature haves gation legislation on this subject? (Hear, hear.) Mr. OSBORNE, describing himself as "an inde pendent member," congratulated Earl Grosvenor on his return to his political allegiance to the whigs, and ob served that the desertion of so distinguished an Adullam ite had made the cave shrink into the dimensions of a grotto. The question of reform had not, he thought, been fairly treated in the house, especially by the liberal party, and he for one was ready to do penance in a white shirt if necessary for having opposed the excellent measure introduced by Lord Derby. He advocated the ex tension of the suffrage because he considered that the people were not adequately represented. As for the electoral returns which had been laid upon the table, be believed them to be false, because he knew that many of the electors of Nottingham who were put down as " work ing men" were in reality publicans—end sinners. It would, he thought, diminish that flunkeyism which was so fast spreading over the house if a healthy admixture of the working classes were brought into it. Referring to the speech of Mr. Lowe, the hon. gentleman read extracts from an oration of that right bon. gentleman delivered at Kidderminster in 1858, in which he expressed himself hos tile to the maintenance of small boroughs, and took credit for baring advocated a 10/. franchise in Australia. The astounding energy which the right hon. gentleman now exhibited in advocating diametrically opposite principles remindol him of the observation of Sheridan when he saw a Highlander in a very large pair of breeches, that " converts were always enthusiastic." He recommended the house to go into committee, at once upon the bill ; and he adjured the government not to do anything so pusillanimous as to adopt the dangerous advice of Sir J. l'akington, and refer the British constitution to • royal commission or to the Privy Council. Mr. ADDERLEYpressed the government to say whether they intended to take Lord Groeveuor's advice, for if they did, it was deceiving the house to go on with the debate merely to get a sham majority to enable them to retain office. He argued against the bill, as adverse to the prin ciples of 1832, and as involving the entire suppression of the county interest, and, denying that the Opposition had taken up the position of obstructives, he fixed the blame of delay on the tactics of the government. Mr. GRENFELL contrasted the moderation of the ex treme liberals with the obstinacy of the conservative oppo sition, and urged an united attempt to settle the question. Lord R. MONTAGU, in endeavouring to discover some common ground of agreement between all parties, pointed out various matters on which both sides were of one mind, and after examining the various theories of representation by numbers and by taxation, argued that some system of plurality of votn was the only mode of adequately repre senting all the social forces of the country. The discussion was continued in a very thin house by Mr. Pim, who, though not approving all the details of the bill, recommended the house to go into committee and make the beat of it ; by Mr. Walrond, who advocated • compromise founded on a 201. county and en 81. borough francize ; by Mr. Wyld, who defended his borough (Bod min) from some aspersions cast on its purity by Mr. Os borne, and complained of the injustice threatened to East Cornwall by the bill ; by Mr. H. Seymour, who defended the 71. franchise as a point on which • permanent stand could be made, and thought the small boroughs had room to be thankful that I. :y were grouped, and not extin guished ; by Mr. Mitft...l and Sir T. Beeson, both of whom opposed the bill. Mr. COLERIDGE, fearing lest the country should come to the opinion that they were trying to strangle the bill, exhorted the house to go into committee by such • majority as would enable the government to retain office with dignity, and to pass at least the important portions of the bill this session. The rest of Mr. Coleridge's speech consisted of a bitter criticism on Mr. Lowe and his recent speeches, the opinions of which, he said, were detestable, marked by a tone of cynical materialism, and utterly irre levant as applied to a measure which had been accepted by some part of the liberal party with great reluctance on account of its moderation. Alluding to Mr. Lowe's dis quisition on " honour," he maintained that the honour of the government was pledged to persevere with the bill, and the liberal party was pledged in honour to support them. Mr. WHITESIDE, after vindicating Mr. Lowe from the criticism of the previous speaker, proceeded to quote from Mr. Mill's works arguments which he contended went to show that the extension of the franchise tended to put the intellectual few beneath the feet of the ignorant many. He saved that in fact no pledge had been given by the government to the introduction and furtherance of reform. Mr. MARSH argued in favour of postponement of the bills, in order that the commissions of inquiry into corrupt practices in certain boroughs might report ; when mote might be found for places it was desirable to en franchise. After some observations against the measures by Mr. A. EOSSTON, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in re ference to the real intentions of the government in regard to reform, which had been questioned, traced the history of these measures since the introduction of the Franchise Bill in March last, contending that its introduction then was sufficiently early. Then, as to the consultation by the government of political supporters, in one mom that was impracticable, but they had, by the moderate demands of the Franchise Bill, endeavoured to anticipate the objections to a still lower franchise than that, proposed entertained by some of their friends. As some suspicion had been hinted with regard to the distri bution of seats, the government felt it necessary to lay this measure before the house. Then came the demand for the amalgamation of the bills, and again this was con ceded ; and thus, as in all the other steps taken, the go vernment desired to conciliate the house. It was a die couraging circumstance that a majority of the house engrafted on the measures the subject of corrupt prac tices, contrary to all precedent, and in opposition to the distinctly expressed opinion of Lord Derby. Next, the government bad to meet the amendment of the member for Wells, which bore about it the marks of concert with the opposition ; and if, as bad been said, there was want of reality in the debate, it was not the fault of the government ? but arose ' out of the break-down of certain combinations. He showed . . ....... -- - that in the Reform Bill of 1854, when Sir William Rayter was a member of the government, Wells was altogether disfranchised. He did not complain of the recalcitrance of members for grouped boroughs, for it was their duty to carry out on their behalf that principle of advocacy which Lord Brougham had laid down, and which might even throw a country into con fusion for the protection of • client. The prin. ciple of grouping was adopted in no other spirit of hos tility to small boroughs • but it might often operate to prevent total disfranchisement. As to the charge of preci pitancy in the preparation of the Reform Bill, it was deliberately prepared by experienced constructors of such bills in a period of forty-five days. As regarded anomalies, the measure mitigated anomalies, just as the first Reform Bill did, but it did not create any. Referring to Mr. Lowe's speech, he hinted that that gentleman was one of those who, if the honour of the government was implicated, shared in the responsibility. As to the principle of the bill, which Mr. Lowe professed not to comprehend, it was pa tent inthepropositionsof its enactmenta. The right honour able gentleman proceeded to examine and criticise the plan for distribution of seats laid down on the second reading of the bill by Mr. Disraeli, and went on to vindi cate his own Distribution Bill against the objections which had been taken to it • as that 8,000 was not the proper limit of population :that some of the groups were not convenient to the representation of minorities by means of unicorn membership • to the giving seven members to Scotland, and so on, ill of which were open to dis cussion in committee, which would be patiently accepted by the government. I confess that to me (continued the right hon. gentleman) it has always appeared that, after all, the great subject is that of the enfranchisement of our fellow-countrmen -(cheera)- although perhaps I may be open to the c ha rge of inconsistency. I have been a party to the large plans of distribution of Lord Aberdeen, and I have been a party to the small plans in the bill under Lord Palmerston's government; but I look on the whole subject of redistribu tion necessarily as controlled by certain leading principles, but as to its details as part of a subject which we ought to approach in a spirit of conciliation, with a view of settling it in such a manner as to give the greatest general satisfaction. (Cheers.) It is the enfranchisement of our countrymen in regard to which we have • most serious and solemn duty to perform, and it is there we may best show our adherence to our leading principles. (Cheers.) These are the principles of the bill, and we ask from the house its fair consideration. I am bound to say I do not think that this amendment is compatible with a fair considera tion of the bill. The amendment is perfectly definite and clear. I admit, aa far u regards the objects of my hon. and gallant friend—that is to say, it condemns in terms perfectly explicit the system of grouping proposed by the government. This is not an unfair issue to raise ; but while it raises this issue fairly, my answer is that we might admit that, and still go into committee on the bill, when you will be free to deal with the bill as you think fit. But the rest of the amendment asserts that the scheme is otherwise not sufficiently matured to form the basis of a satisfactory measure. There is really, even grammatically, the utmost difficulty in determining what is meant by the " scheme," and the mention of the subjectof the franchise, which my hon. and gallant friend inserted into his own original edition of the amendment, having been by some careful expurgator struck out from the revised edition, the amendment is in point of fact very little better than unintelligible, and looks as if it had been framed with a view of at once getting rid of the bill, and yet escaping from the responsibility of rejecting it on account of any particular provisions it contained, and being in come quence called to account by his constituency for having done so. (Cheers.) Nevertheless, I am afraid that was the intention. At all events, I shall be glad if the storm of those " no, noes " that not unfrequently arise from the opposite benches would greet me now when I state I am afraid it was the intention of the party opposite to give their support to the amendment with that object. (Cheers.) The hon. member for Belfast spoke of it in terms of high advocacy, and it was understood through all the usual channels of parliamentary information that the strength of that party was to be tasked in carrying it. (Cheers.) Sir, I pioteet in the name of the government, in the name of the character and the credit of parliament, and on be half of my countrymen against your dealing with measures of great importance in this house—especially measures of such solemn and capital importance as this--notin the good old English manner of ayes and noes—(cheers)—but by de clarations which nobody can understand—declarations that the scheme of her Majesty's government is not sufficiently matured—(cheers from the opposition)—to fonn the basis of a satisfactory measure. (Renewed opposition cheers). Why, do not hon. gentlemen see that any man who wanted to shuffle out of a controversy would use such language? Is it not to these generalities that ambition re sorts for the prosecution of its wicked purposes? (Laughter from the opposition and cheers from the ministerial benches. ) Do not let any gentleman suppose that I am at this mo ment speaking of political parties in this house. I am speaking of those who, on vague and general grounds, have opposed those who took a definite line of policy, whether in politics or theology. (Hear, hear.) I expressed a hope, I confess, that on this occasion there would be more sympathy with me, but I have been disappointed. But this I will say, that we had a right to expect it. It was promised to us, it was gratuitously promised to us, it was ostentatiously promised to us. On the 6th of Feb., 1866, Lord Derby used these words—" I promise the noble earl another thing, that is, that his bill shall have fair play— (cheers and counter cheers)—that it will not be thrust aside by any underhand method—that there shall be no factious movement—(cheers and counter cheers)—or com bination against it—(cheers from ministerial side}—on the part of those who can combine for nothing else, but that it will be dealt with on its merits." (Cheers from the opposition.) Is it dealing with a measure on its merits to say that it is not sufficiently matured? (Cheers and counter cheers.) When in a long course of party warfare was that courseadopted? What instance, what precedent is there for a great party resorting to that mode of warfare ? (Opposition cries of " 1859.") In 1800 7 Is 1559 your instance ? In 1859 the 101 l was condemned because it did not reduce the borough fran chise. (Cheers.) Act as my noble friend acted in 1859, and my complaint falls to the ground. (Cheers,) Con demn the bill because it does reduce the borough franchise. (Cheers from the ministerial benches.) You stated your objections to it in your speeches. My right honourable friend (Mr. Lowe) objected to it in his speech ; the member for North Devon objected to it in his speech ; the right hon. gentleman the member for Bucks objected to it in his speech. Let him embody his opinion in a motion—(cheers)--or if he does not choose to do that—for he is not bound to do so—let him then take the usual course, the known and established course of op thepos bill, and the country will know what he means. (Lou4eheers.) But it is; useless to fall back on those large, vague, and unmeaning words. (Hear, hear.) You may by such means succeed for the moment, but do not ,suppose that you can thus lay a solid foundation for the fortunes of yourselves and your friends. (Cheers.) Do not let us be drawn into these broad, vague, and wild denunciations as to the fall of the constitution. Every time my right hon. friend speaks we hear prophe cies about the constitution. In his first speech my right hon. friend, certainly from no poverty of his own imagina tion, had recourse to a peroration of Mr. Canning's ; and in every speech since, though he has not foraged amongst the epeeches of Mr. Canning, he has drawn darker and yet darker predictions of the downfall of the constitution. A 101. franchise has been tried, and it succeeded ; a 7f. franchise has not succeeded, but it has never been tried. (Hear.) But there was a time when the 101. franchise had been denounced with no lees energy and ability than the 71. franchise is now denounced by my right hon. friend. (Hear, hear.) My noble friend the member for Leicestershire to-night described England—and truly de scribed her —ae A !and of old and wide renown, A land of settled government, Where freedom slowly broadens down From precedent to precedent. But my noble friend ought not to have stopped short at these lines of the Poet Laureate's dedication to the Queen. It would not have suited his purpose to continue. But Mr. Tennyson goes on to add these lines : statesmen at her council meet, Who know the seasons when to take occasion by the hand, And make the bonds of freedom wider yet By shaping some august decree Which keeps her throne unshaken stilt, Broadly hated upon her people's will, And compassed by the inviolate sea. (Loud cheers.) Sir we claim to love the constitution, we claim to value the constitution, we claim to revere the constitution an sincerely and as earnestly as any of those who .it opposite. (Cheers.) My right hon. friend the member for Caine looks back with something like contempt on those who opposed the reform bill of 1 83 1. We have beard him denounce in terms of the utmost severity the party system which prevailed before the date of that great measure. He denounced the course pursued by such men as Peel and Wellington, and he 'pins with those who offer us a similar opposition now. (" Hear, hear," and cheers). The very converse of that appears to me to be far more just. The opponents of the Reform Bill of 1831, though I can now see they were wrong, had much to say for the course they pursued. They had to deal with a system the most complicated in the world. Its springs and move ments were hardly traceable to the common or even philo sophic eye. It was like some wonderful creation that had descended from above of the utmost delicacy and conform ation, and which you • ht well fear to touch lest by de ranging its springs you mar its effect. And so 1 , 1 , 12 had this Om* ad things invaded that even men. and even brave men shrank from the responsibility of attempting such a task. How different is the Wane we.. We have seen the risk of the experi ment run. We have seen the dangers, if ever there were any, of enfranchisement. We have heard prophecies uttered with all solemnity and collapsing almost as soon us they were delivered. We have witnessed the happy and blessed fruit of that constitutional change. We have found ourselves launched on a career where everything before u iscomparatively plain and open, and we have to deal, I will not say with the alteration, so much as the growth of dr cumstanoes—with the growth of numbers, with the growth of wealth, with the growth of intelligence, with the growth of loyalty to the throne, with the growth of confidence in the parliament, with the growth of attachment and love amongst all classes of the com munity. (Cheers.) And our view is, that under these circumstances we say now again has the time arrived to apply, with circumspection, yet with firmness and decision, those principles from the operation of which we have reaped such blessed fruits ; and it is in the prosecution of that work that we are confronted with the hostility that has met us in the various stages of this bill—hostility which may be formidable indeed, and, I will not even now presume to predict whether it will or not achieve a momen tary success, but with regard to which any triumph achieved will recoil with tenfold force upon the heads of those who had brought it about. (Laughter and cheers.) And to be the chief sufferers in such a cause as that we have in hand is, indeed, to be preferred to success achieved in no ordinary cause, for we are well convinced that in the discharge of our duty in re deeming our pledges we are consulting alike and at once the honour and the dignity of this house, the stability of the throne on which her Majesty eits,the contentment and happiness of the people, and the strength andendurance of our institutions. (Loud and prolonged cheering.) Mr. DISRAELI, vindicating the opposition from the charge of factious obstruction, pointed out that of the three motions by which the progress of the bill had been delayed, two had been shade from the ministerial benches, that the principles of two of them had been accepted by the government—Mr. Gladstone having just abandoned grouping—and the principle of the third (Sir R. Knight ley 's) bad been accepted by Lord S. Russell at the last Reform Bill in 1860. Without going further into a de fence of small boroughs, he repeated that they afforded to many valuable members • means of entering the house, and afforded some compensation for the inadequate repre sentation of the counties. He calculated that 84 of these small borough seats might be said to be supplementary to the representation of the landed interest, and, added to the present number of county members, 162, they made the county members 246 and the borough members 250. Of these 84 seats, 42 were disfranchised by the bill. As to the charge of wishing to eliminate the urban elements from the counties, he pointed out that that of the 11,500,000 of the county inhabitants, only 1,000,000 lived in the unenfranehised towns, so that there would still remain • tion of 10,000,000 to be dealt with of which only 2,000,000 were farmers and farmers' labourers. As the government seemed entirely ignorant of these and other similar facts, he agreed with Lord Grosvenor that they ought to with draw the bill, to afford themselves time for obtaining further information, and in commenting on Lord Gros venor's chief reason for not supporting the amendments — confidence in Lord Clarendon—he criticised with great severity Lord Clarendon's conduct before and during the Crimean war and at the conference of Paris. Captain HAYTEIt—Sir, I rise in answer to the direct appeal which has been made to me by the noble lord the member for Chester. That appeal is the more deserving of attention from me because it was made in a speech con demnatory of the scheme of the government. (Opposi tion cheers.) Asrr.atters now stand the amendment I moved has been entirely deprived of its object, by the entire concession of the whole point. (Cries of " No," " Hear, bear," and " Divide.") And, sir, I say that whether there be grounds for them or not, there are rumours abroad—outside the walls of this house—in the press — rumours which, I believe, have got within the walls of the house. I do not say her Majesty's government has given the slightest reason for it, but as con firmation of the existence of which I appeal to the speech of the noble lord the member for Chester. Sir, because I feel certain that this measure will not be passed in its present form during the present session, I beg to withdraw my amendment. (Cheers, and cries of" Oh, oh.") Lord ELCHO—As one of the aboriginal Adullamites I claim the indulgence of the house for a few moments. (Cries of "Divide.") I ask it because the position of the aboriginal Adullamites is somewhat peculiar. (Divide.) Our David has left our cave, and has made friends with Saul. (Cheers and laughter.) I listened with great pleasure to the speech of the noble lord ; and I believe that although his body will go into the lobby with the government his soul will remain in the cave, for be has denounced the government bill, prophe sied that it would never pass, and stated that he would oppose it tooth and nail in committee. The only reason he has given is that he does not wish a change in the government ; not that he has any confidence in the conduct of the government on the question of re form. Now I feel as an Adullamite that if a division takes place under these circumstances, it will be practically a division under a false issue. (Cheers.) It will be no indication of the real feeling of this house—(opposition cheers)—upon this question. I rejoice, therefore, that my hon. and gallant friend the member for Wells has withdrawn his amendment, for I have no wish to embarrass her Majesty's government. (Loud cries of "Oh !") I am not aware that I have differed so much from the course of my noble friend the member for Chester. He moved an amendment which I supported, and I was prepared if there had been a division now to vote against the govern ment. (Interruption and cries of " Divide.") It is not be cause I ion hostile to the government that I am opposed to this bill ; it is because I am opposed to legislation on so vital a question on incomplete information and untrustworthy data, and I therefore hope that the go vernment will see that the recommendation of my hon. friend is a wise one, that they should withdraw their bill —(loud cries of "No ")--and that they will retreat, while there it yet time, from an impossible position. I hope my hon. and gallant friend will persevere in his intention to withdraw the amendment. The SPEAKER then put the question that the amend ment be by leave withdrawn. (Loud cries of " No.") The amendment was then put, whereupon Lord Elebo, followed by a number of members near him, and nearly all the members of the opposition, rose and left the house in a body. After some difficulty in closing the outer doors, in consequence of the rush of conservative members from the house to the lobby, the Speeker read the question and the amendment, and put the original question, in response to which the " ayes" were loud and numerous, and not a single " no." The SPEAKER declared the amendment negatived. (Loud cheers.) He then put the question, that " I do now leave the chair," which was declared to be carried, there not being a single dissentient voice. (Loud cheers.) The SPEAKER left the chair, and Mr. DODSON, the Chairman of Committees, took his seat at the table. The preamble of the bill having been postponed, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved that the chairman do report progress, and ask leave to sit again. Mr. WALPOLE was understood to ask the next day for proceeding with the bill. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—Thursday next. The CHAIRMAN then put the question that he do re port program, but there being great opposition to the mo tion 'by some hon. members below the gangway on the ministerial aide of the house, a division was called for. During the time that the sand was running through the glaas before the division could be proceeded with, Mr. Lowe, Sir E. L. B. Lytton, and many other hon. mem bers, returned to their Beata and were received with loud ironical cheers from the ministerial side of the house. Ultimately the question was again put, and the house divided: The numbers were : For reporting progress Against 2 Majority Mr. LOWE called the attention of the members of the house to the scene which bad just taken place. He had left, being anxious to avoid a division, and on his return he was unable to get into the house. When he did enter, he found the house in committee, and that the preamble had been postponed. Was it right that such • precedent should be tolerated? Ought hon. members, without any fault of their own, to beactaally prevented byphysical vio lence from discharging their duty. (" Oh oh," and " Hear, hear.") _ . - Mr. B. HOPE, in corroboration of the right hon. gentle man, said that when be himself tried to come back into the bouae he was prevented by such a rush as could only be seen at a theatre. Mr. HADFIELD observed that what was now com plained of was the fault of hon. members who ran away to avoid a division. Mr. ONSLOW said that in trying to enter the house he was carried away by the members who were rushing out. Sir J. FERGUSSON thought that the unseemly scene which had taken place was creditable to neither side of the house. Mr. D. GRIFFITH said he had a very important amendment to move on going into committee. (Laughter.) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the bon. member (Mr. Griffith) was entirely in error with regard to his having lost an opportunity of addressing the house. He might observe that the main question of the evening was read by Mr. Speaker with great deliberation and after • pause. There were • considerable number of gentlemen present on the oppo sition benches. and among them the right hon. gentleman the member for Cambridge, and therefore he thought the interests of the opposition were in good hands. The SPEAKER said that with record to what was stated by the hon. member for Devises, if there bad been no disturbance in the house and every bon. member Lad remained in his place it would not have been coin. petent for him to move his amendment under the cir cumstances. The other business was disposed of, and the home ad. journsd at • quarter past 2 o'clock.

Sittings at Nisi Prius in Middlesax.—(Befors Mr. Justice Ryles and a Common Jury.) GRANVILLE W. ARRAY. - --- This was an action of trover to recover the value of pair of earrings and a gold necklet, and the defendant paid 5/. into court. Mr. Harris, the plaintiff's counsel, said that the circum stances of the case were somewhat pecuhar. Mrs. Gran ville, a young woman, had met the defendant, • commer cial traveller, living at Mildmay-park, Islington, and after some conversation, he had in the most fascinating manner removed the articles of jewellery from the plaintiff's per son, and she had not been able to regain possession of th em since. Mrs. Annie Granville, the plaintiff, said—l live at 9, Bolton-place, Brampton. The last week in August last I was at Mellon's concert at Covent-garden theatre, and the defendant came to me. I did not know his name at the time. He asked me to go out upon the landing and give him my address. He wrote it down in his pocket-book. He said, " What pretty ear-rings you have got," and he took them both out of my ears. He also took the chain off my neck and disapp e a red in the crowd. The chain was • small gold chain used as a necklace. The earrings were of coral, with a spark of diamond in them. I did not think he was going away with them. He said I must give him one earring to make a pin of. He had often asked me for a small coral hand, which I wore to make • pin of. I did not give him an earring. Three weeks afterwards I saw him again at Mellon's concert, and he was wearing one of my earrings made into a breast pin. I said I would give him into charge, and he said, perhaps he would give me into charge if spoke to jam about it. He had written to me several times. He wrote to me under the sig nature of W. H. Bay, appointing to meet me and a friend to purchase other caning. and • necklace. On the day of Lord Pahnerston's funeral I met him with his sister in Burlington-arcade. I asked why be had not sent me my things, and he said that be had sent them. I said I had not received them, and he said I was a liar. I had previously received a packet with one earring, but not one of mine. His sister said that if I would meet her at one the next day in the arcade she would return the things if I would return his letters. His sister did not keep the appointment. I thereupon took a cab and went up to his house, and saw him. He ordered me to leave the house at once. I saw his mother and sister there. I did not leave, and he said he would go for • policeman. He was away for three hours, and then came back without one. I would not have taken 19f. for the earrings alone. They and the chain were worth 101. or 12/. Cross-examined by the defendant in person—l did not go up to you at Mellon's concert and say that I had seen you there 12 months before. I did not say that I was Lady Granville—that I was living under the protection of Lord Granville. (A laugh.) Yon wrote down, "Lady Granville." (Laughter.) You called me "Lady Granville," but I said I was Mrs. Granville. I did not wish you to go home with me. I did not say I had broken one of my ear rings in coming down in a cab, and ask you to get it re paired. I did not say I was "spoony" on you. Defendant—l said it is the same as all you women, you tell the men so for what you can get out of them. Witness—Certainly not. I never was " spoony "on you, and I never said so. (Laughter.) Defendant—Did I say 'what will you give me as a proof of that " spoonyism ?" Witness—Certainly not. You asked me for the coral hand to make a pin of, but I did not give it to you. Defendant—Did you say, " No, I value that little hand too much?" Witness—To give it to you, certainly. (Laughter.) Defendant—Did you say, " But I will give you one of my earrings" Witness—Certainly not. Yon took both of them, but not with my consent, as you might have had two pins made. You also wore my chain round your neck after wards. Defendant—Did you not take the chain from your neck and put it round mine, and say " Wear it for; my sake?" (Laughter.) Witness—lt is very improbable I should do so before all the people. I did not. At Burlington-arcade I certainly did say that I would make use of your letters if you did not give me up those things. Mr. Justice Byles said if the defendant gave evidence he would be liable to be cross-examined by the learned counsel, who would address the jury upon the whole case. The defendant had better consider whether he would go into the witness-box or leave the case where it was. . . The defendant, after some hesitation, said he would give no evidence. Mr. Justice Byles told the jury that it was for them to consider whether the earrings and necklet were worth more than the U. paid into court, for if not, the defendant would be entitled to the verdict. It might be remarked that the plaintiff would not say what she gave for the trinkets, but that was probably because she did not buy them, but had them given to her, and the defendant did not produce them probably because he had not now got them. _ _ _ _ The jury found for the defendant, upon the ground that the things were not worth more than tb,e st. paid into court. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—JuNz 4. (Before Mr. Commissioner Conlburn.) IN RE D. BERNRTETN. _ _ The bankrupt was a dealer in fancy goods, of Sidney square, Mile-end. The debts are between 4,0001. and 5,0001. He was opposed on the ground of not having accounted for goods which he bad purchased, to a large extent, on the ere of his failure. His Honour, in giving judgment, said that if he were to pass the bankrupt on such an account as he bad rendered, ' he could never refuge to pass anyone, for the so-called accounts were pure guess-work and invention. Being called on to state the amount of his ready money sales, he had pat down a series of round sums. as 1201., 2001., 250/., and 5001.. and though he professed not to have kept any books, he had rendered very detailed accounts of his travelling expenses, which be alleged to have amounted to 1,2101. ; there were in addition domestic expenses of 4501. He had not surrendered at the proper time, and in excuse of his default had produced • medical certificate which merely stated that itwould be useful for the bankrupt toga to Kemal for four or six weeks, for the benefit of his health. This was hardly sufficient to justify the bankrupt in not surrendering, and thus committing a very grave offence. There was a small fund in hand, about 1201., but this would barely pay for the repeated adjournments, and there would probably be no dividend. However, the court could not pass this account as sufficient. The examination must be adjourned sine die, with liberty to the bankrupt to apply for • day, he paying the Goats ; protection being given for three months. IN 61 FAOI)IN. The bankrupt was • solicitor, of Fenchurch-street, formerly of Mark-lane. Debts, 20,8701. ; of which 13,6401. L due to unsecured creditors ; assets and property held as security about 13,000. Mr. Bagley, for the airignme, stated that the accounts had been very fully investigated, and they were willing that the bankrupt should pass his examination, the con sideration of the order of discharge being adjourned. Mr. Lucas, for creditors, and Mr. Lawrence for the bankrupt, concurred, and the order was made accordingly. THE POLICE COURT& WORSHIP-STREET. Ellen Watling, 21, s servant, was charged with con cealing the birth of her illegitimate female infant. The child was discovered by the girl's mistress in the pan of the water-closet, and the mother was given into custody of the police on the present chair. A coroner's jury had since returned a verdict that the infant was still born. Dir. Ellison remarked with astonishment that the date of the aocouchement was so recent as the 29th May last, and inquired how it was that the prisoner stood at the bar only six days afterwards. This called forth a state ment from Mr. Inspector Bush, N division, to the effect, that a certificate signed by Dr. J. Jones, of 201, Queen's-road, Dalton , and which he produ ce d, pronounced the prisoner as being in a fit state to be removed from Mal vern-road to the Homerton workhouse in a carriage ; that she consequently wee so removed, but when Owe a wish to be taken to No. 1, Fist-street, ese s sfi e rr ot her aunt lived.

" Well," rejoined the Fieme,"l am William Stallwood, your father's brother. Ime transported abroad above 35 years ego." The preemie replied, " Oh ! I have heard my father say thst he hit brother who many years ago went into foreign pm/it'll' never knew he was ever transported." " Oit,yee,"onlissei the prisoner, "he was, and lam the man." Then*, then went on to say that when his tern el tom' portation had expired he devoted himself to WI of industry, and had contrived by dint of hard an and by speculations into which he bad salad to save about 5,0001., which he had caused to be mind from Australia to one of the banks at Wyec.bi 11, which he was going to draw out in a few days tint: NI his intention was to settle down in his native wurq, he was willing to remember the prosecutor, " in hie will. Some further conversation ensued, meter was drunk, and at last the prosecutor told Mobley'''. WI spare room at home, which he might occupy if Seism, which was at once acceded to. Stallwood sexed* took him home, and the prisoner remained there fps* eating and drinking and partaking of the best his leels could afford. During his stay Mobleypreened ill that he should accompany him to Mgt IFF combe, when he went to r eceive the first bent' meat of his money. Mobley, however, on theday aft ation, contrived to leave Sta ll wood'm house, cuesen4 l l_,! backdoor, and he never returned.
