PARLIAMENTARY REFORM. The last number of the Edinburgh Review, No.6e; contains an article upon Parliamentary Reform, to. which we are anxious to direct the attention of our Readers. Although we cannot give to it our entire and unqualified approbation, we are of opinion that it is calculated to be of the most essential service, There are few subjects on which more irritation pre vails than this of Reform, and an unimpassioned dis cussion of it is proportionably valuable. The article before us is eminently such. It is written throughout in a spirit of so much calmness and moderation as must ensure the patient consideration of every reader; and not in aq,ything proceeding from the eminent person to whom report attributes k (Sir James Mackintosh). have we seen stronger evidence of that philosophic temper which so much conciliates oppo sition, and forms so great a contrast to the angry vehenence of the turbulent and of the venal. Some will perhaps deem that its views are not sufficiently popular, and that ft wants somewhat of the ardour and energy of a zealous and practical politician; but even though we admit this to a certain extent, we think that we .have in the indications of wariness, and deliberation, and purity of intention, which it everywhere bears,• an ample compensation. From the origin of our Representat;ve System, and several instances of direct interference with it which he considers, the writer shews that a provision for its modification, from time to time, as circumstances may require, exists in the Constitution. After this refutation of those who denounce all Reform as rash and dangerous innovation, wholly unwarranted by our usages, he proposes to himself certain conditions, the fulfilment of which he thinks indispensable in such a plan of Reform as it may be hoped would, if not satisfy all parties, abate the hostility of all ; and he concludes with certain propositions forming such a plan. The conditions are, that the direct influence of the People on the House of Commons be aug mented, that our other institutions be not endan gered, that all interference with the Representation be strictly liMited to the known forms of the Con stitution, and to distinct and defined principles; and the propositions made, in conformity to these con dikions,• are, that twenty Members be forthwith added to the House of Commons, elected by popu• lons and now unrepresented places, that all Boroughs in •which gross corruption shall be proved be dis franchised,. and that the franchise in Scotland be placed on a hioader basis. It is also proposed, that • when by the disfranchisement of con upt Boroughs the number of Menibirs shat be reduced to its pre sent amount, the franchise shall, in such cases of deprivation as may afterwards'occur, be transferred either to the larger Counties or Towns. •Our 'first observation on this plan of ReforM is, that it does not provide for a sufficient increase of the power of the People. We are ready to concede, that the influence of twenty additional independent Members from populous towns would be. very ill estimated by their numerical amount but. it seems to have been wholly overlooked, that no small pro portion of those Members would be most certainly in the interest of the Crown. At this hour, two of the greatest towns in the Empire, Liverpool and Dublin, return each two ginistertal Members. Bri s tol an d London each supply their quota to the Minister; West minster alone yields him no vote ; and the utmost which reasonable people hope from any struggle of the independent interest with Court patronage, under circumstance, however favourable, is to divide the Representation. The same remark must be made as to the proposed alteration with reference to Scotland ;1 and it must be acknowledged to be very doubtful' how far it would tend to strengthen the popular party. With regard also to the future accession which it would receive from the disfranchisement' of corrupt Boroughs, and the transfer of their franchises to Cities or Counties, it must be considered, that on the utmost latitude of evidence which could he con ceded, it is only very seldom such a care of abuse could be made out as would procure the disfran chisement; and by the consequent transfer, only a chance of advantage is gained. We mast then confess ourselves of opinion, that the application of the principle of disfranchisemmt to those cases only where corruption shall be evi, &need by direct proof, would not supply a remedy of the evils under which our Representative System labours : and we must also avow, that we cannot agree with the distinguished author of the article in the Review, that on any grounds, whether of expe diency, or of the propriety of adhering to established usages, disfranchisement is necessarily restricted to such cases. It being admitted as a Constitutional principle, that the Representation may need altera tion, we cannot deem it reasonable to fetter so strictly the discretion by which such alteration is to be de. termined, inasmuch as it is not possible to thre,ee how far circumstances may change, and therefore hem much of the system may need alteration. la point of fact, the evil of the present day pre sents the strongest possible contrast to that which Itrevailed during the earlier periods of our bistory. It was then difficult to select a sufficient number of phice% of importance and wealth enough to return. Members; but though it •is now acknowledged that our house of Representatives is as large as is at all compatible with the discharge of its functions as a deliberative Assembly, some of the most consi derable towns -remain wholly unrepresented, and many large districts very inadequately. To remedy the evil of their day, our ancestors indulged them selves in an unrestricted latitude; and for the return Metnbeis to each successive Parliament, thine towns which, at the particular juncture were judged best able, were selected without any vaip attempt to make the franchise stable and permanent. Can it, then, be held that if we proceeded to renovate the system in the same spirit with which it was origi nated, we should hesitate to transfer the franchise, for example, from Old Sarum to Manchester I The pi active of disfranchisement, on any terms, and in any case, is of a date so recent, and the instances of it so few, that we cannot consider they supply a precedent to which .it would be reasonable strictly to coliSiie ourselves. Tht question seems to us alto gether open as fir as they are concerned. It is, 'however, contended that, in ancient times, no re. g ar d ream to have been paid to population, and that the Legislature appears to have &sired, not that all men, but that alt 011411111* shavld be reptesen'ted . TO aubetentiet• these position% the preamhles of as Sia. totes which et:Owed_ the troaise out the county and city of Durham, andeounty and city of Chester, are . cited, And soma inferences dodged from their language, which we must charactens* savouring no little of special pleading. If, by die:word classes, the writer 'meuns. to distinguish between the inhabi tants of the country and of the town—the agricultu ral and trading interest—and, if he means to repre sent the object of our ancestors to have been, that each of those interests should be represented in Par liament, we are entirely of his opinion. But we fear that many persons will wrest the expression, which is, perhaps,' not the most unequivocal that might have been used, to a recognition and sanction of Mr. Cantsism's most sophistical arguments and repre sentations. As to the first position, that no regard seems to have been paid to population, we will at least say, that no evidence of it is given: nothing which the article contains appears to us to warrant the statement. But the author himself, though he objects to the principle of populadon being admitted as a measure of the right of retaining the franchise, adopts it in his own plan as a reasonable measure of the capacity for receiving it: that is, although he will not have the franchise conferred on any places of a less population than fifteen thousand souls,, and' thus admits that it is wrong such places should have it, yet he will have Old Sarum, in' all its desolation, to retain its franchise. We cannot see why the same criteron should not be established for disfranchise ineot as enfranchisement ; or why, if sufficiently de. terminate for the one, it .is not for the other. Yet no objection to the adoption of the principle of dis franchisement is urged.with more confidence than this of the necessity it would lay us under of resort ing to population as a rule of. practice, which the author represents to be necessarily so indefinite, that it would lead to an infringement of one of his ante cedent and fundamental. conditions. It is also con tended, that it tends to enhance the dignity of the de mocratic part of our Constitution to regard the elec tive franchise in the light of a personal right, and to preserve it to its possessors with equal scrupulosity. But, to our apprehension, the House of Comm ons would be an Assembly of far greater dignity if chosen by the body of the People, than it at present is, and the privilege of voting for the election of its Members would be then one of a much more exalted nature than that now possessed by any close corporation. The strongest argument which could be advanced in favour of a Reform so exceedingly narrow as that proposed, is that there is a greater probability of ob taining it than any more wide or better. But we doubt whether even it be sound. 11 . e have some times thought, that if the great 'Whig proprietary could be brought to consent to the disfranchisement of all such places, when theme can be no likelihood or possibility of an honest and independent exercise of the francaise, not all the venality and corruption of the present system could present a bar Jo it. If' Lord, John Russell comedown to the House of Com mons with a motion for the disfranchisement of his father's boroughs, the popular voice would demand a change of measures in a tone so imperative, that itot even the present Ministers could dare to disre gard it. We firmly believe that such a line of con duct on the part of the Whigs would save the coon. try. If the close boroughs were universally disfrant chised, the great proprietors would resort to the peo ple for that strength which those boroughs cannot give them; property would then have its legitimate influence, and•the Aristocracy, thus allied to and in separable from the People, would afford a due equi ' poise to the power of the Crown. We are no advo cates of Universal Suffrage or Annual Parliaments we desire that the franchise be placed on a liberal ' basis, and we desire that it be so placed universally. We are well aware of the value of the Aristocratical part of the Constitution, but we do not think its power now rests on a sound basis; and in the change we contemplate, we entertain no . apprehensions tor its preservation, but hold a most confident persuasion char it would be strengthened and augmented. The present system, it is well said, has had a fair trial, and in proportion to the magnitude of. the evils it has entailed upon the con ntry, must he the extent of the alteration 'needed, We must not flatter oorselves that any small increase of the force of public 90- ' Ilion will be sufficient ; it is not the share it would have, and it could only have a share, in the selection of twenty additional Members, or the remote contiao gency-of an additional unit in the numbegof.oppo sition, arising from the disfranchisement of a corrupt borough, that will either Aitisfy or secure the country. To the author of the article we comment upon. the acknowledgments of every friend of Reform are due for the ability with which he has deduced the right of interference with the Representation ; but, white •we consider his argument complete and decisive against those who deny it, we cannot deem him equally successful against those who demand its free and unrestricted exercise. So much clamour about the sanctity and inviolability of our institutions, in all their parts, bas been raised, that a no ineobsider 'able class of persons, we believe, 'are actually int , pressed with the idea that close boroughs, and all they have, descended to us precisely as they now exist from remote antiquity : a much more consider able class forget that human wit has never been able to provide against the effects of time upoo, its esta blishments: in this world, all is change, nothing is stable or permanent. It is therefore impossible to devise any scheme of Government which shall pro duce the same effects at different periods. It is' 4se true, that in various stages of civilization,.the J?eople must be endowed with various degrees of cos troul over theis rulers: upon this subject Mr. Tieroey ha; more than once observed in the HOW; of Commons, that the practice-of fifty yea* since, when the trans. actions of the Legislature Were darkly detailed under Roman names, when newspapers wire few and poli tical knowledge scanty, will not serve for tile present day, when so general an illumination of mind hos taken place when intelligence is transmitted to t remotest h;mlet with a velocity only proportionate Ito the impatience with which it is leaked for ; and where, in the humblest ranks of life, are heard dis cussions of every measure which occopies the atten tion of our statesmen. It is manifgst that public opinion has acquired a better title to at ion, and must rotative it. In coucksino, we are desirire st-entesing test against the dbctrine that in each case we are to ' meet to the eanduct dour aneastors fits thepuspi4a aF learniag the Constitutionelwaege. filtay `marked, that it is absurd to talb atilt 10404 W 16.4-1 taion if as a regular plan of liberty prior to the Revolu tion." Is it in the angry rebukes of . Elizabeth, or the threats of her father to the Commons, that we are to find precedents for the becoming Address of the So. vereign to the People? or is it to those times when so monstrous an evil as that the great county of Chester and that of Durham should be unrepresented was to lerated, that we are to revert for our direction a t t this day ? Can we expect, in the Statutes which; for the first time, bestowed the franchise on those districts, any nice or accurate allotment of it ? We are of opinion, that a better notion of the Constitution will be formed by consulting the comments on it by those authors, to the accuracy and purity of whose concep- Aious that spirit of freedom which we nourish in our breasts bears testimony, than by any narrow and ex clusive examination of single acts of our ancestors. — .In truth, no man can fix a period when the Constitu tion existed in entirety and purity : can we then be reasonably restricted to the precedent of any particu lar period ? It is only the great and fundamental principles of the Constitution which are stable and permanent s the modification of the Representative System from time to time is one of those, but there exist no certain rules by which that modification is to be directed. Our usages are many of them con flicting, and a rigid adherence to precedent, without the controul of any discretion, would be productive of the worst effects. But with what propriety are we to be interdicted the application of a Suitable remedy, where an evil has grown to such a pitch as to require it, merely because it has not been applied before? In fine, we will cite, in confirmation of our view of the subject, a passasze from one of those works which stand highest in are estimation of Englishmen: As trade is of a fluctuating nature, and seldom long tiled in one place, it was formerly left to the' Crown to summon, pro re /AM, the most flourishing towns to send kept esentatives to Parliament. So that as towns increaned in trade and grew populous, they were admitted to a share in the Legislature. But the misfortune is, that the deserted Boroughs continue to be summoned."—Blacksione's Cont. rol. 1,1). 174. CLANDESTINE iIi.4IIIII.4GES. NORTHUMBERLAND ASSIZES, MARCH S. Thomas Nichohon was indicted for bigamy. Mr. Sergeant Caoss said, the prisoner had followed the profession of a schoolmaster. About six years ago he resided in the county of, Durham, where he became acquainted with a Miss Isabella Ferguson. But as it seemed the formalities of 'that county were of too frigid a nature fur therspeedy completion of their happiness, they agreed to betake themselves into Scottand, wliere the ceremony of mattimony is attended with greater facility. Finding itdifficult to meet with employment in the profession he had choien, he was obliged to remove into this county, leaving his wife behind. Still he corresponded with her, and acknow ledged her as his bride. At length he was employed by a Gentleman of the name of Rowell to instruct his grand-daughter; his attention to his charge proved, alas! too powerful: he seduced her affections—she became pregnant, and he married her also! lf, there fore, the circumstances-slumld be proved in evidence as he had stated them, it became the duty of the Jury to find the prisoner guilty; if not, to acquit him.

She also said, " Yes."—There was a marriage certificate made out. After. the ceremony, all returned to my. house: they then went home to her father's house and lived there a fortni g ht, more or less.
