tun o f a Canning. (The hon. gentleman sat down amidst great cheering.) air ROBERT GRANT said, ho thought the Government on this o ccasion s'ootild not be accused of arrogance, or of violation of the con eat:thin, when they were treading in the steps of Pitt and Fox together, c onsideration which he thought might have saved them from the hon. sea learned gentleman's condemnation. But though he thought tin honourable and learned gentleman's censure misplaced, his teepee he his character should keep him from imitating his example. (BIM hear, hear.) He did regret that notwithstanding the profaning et efforts to exclude all extraneous matter, some personal topics hod crept IttO the debate. The question was felt by all to be difficult and impede. ,ant, and certainly it should be kept from irritation if it were at. sired to come to a just conclusion. It was said that some who eat mi the Treasury bench were guilty of inconsistency is supporting the present measure, because they had supported Mr. Canning's administration, and Mr. Canning had opposed Reform. Is rep ly to that observation, he would observe, that he was not there as the representative of that splendid genius, but of the people d England. bound to act according to the best of his judgment for their benefit. (Hear, hear.) That remark having been made, he would not take refuge as some others bad done, in the fact, that he had never ( pa l ed his lips in that house on the question of Parliamentary reformer but he would at once honestly confess that his former opinions were un favourable to reform : but the last elections, and all that had since taken place, led him to consider the subject deeply, and the result of ant consideration was, that he became convinced of its necessity, and was a cordial supporter of the present measure; and it was his opinion, that no man could be justly charged with inconsistency who lewd in consistence with the dictates of his reflecting judgment.— (Hear.) Respecting the supposition made by hon. gent. opposite that Mr. Canning would now oppose reform, was it possible that those who saw alr. Canning in the last years of his life take a course so &fel ferent in his foreign policy, from that which he had formerly pursued, should doubt, that were he now living, he would exercise his judgment on the question of reform; and was there not more homage paid him by following his example in change, where there was sufficient reason to make that change desirable, than by remaining fixed in a dangerous position, when all around us was in motion. The honourable and learned gentleman said the government was acting under a sudden im pulse received from the people in the measure of reform, which im pulse would be transient; but in the case of Catholic emancipation, the feeling in its favour had been of long duration. If the honourable and learned gentleman said Catholic emancipation had been granted in consequence of the length of time It had been sought for, he denied the fact. He for one voted for Catholic emancipation, not certainly with. out reference to the discontent of the people, for that was not to be dis regarded in the consideration of either Catholic emancipation or of the present measure, but he voted for Catholic emancipation because he was convinced it was founded in justice. (Hear.) The hon. and learned gentleman appeared to forget that in every expression of his sentiment against this measure there were exactly parallel arguments urged against Catholic emancipation. Not a single argument had been used against reform of which an exact fac simile was not to be found in the defeated arguments used against Catholic emancipation. It appeared, indeed, as if its adversaries had walked over the whole of that field of mortal conflict, to pick up the blunted shafts that had recoiled, again to •hoot them at the shield of truth. (Hear, hear.) The hon. and learned gentleman said, the present state ot the representation had carried you triumphantly through all your wars with France, and made you the cnvv and admiration of the world—all these arguments were used by the right hon. baronet near him (Sir Robert Peel) against the Catholic question ; but when the fulness of time was come, the flimaey cobweb was torn away, and justice trampled on the miserable sophistry.— (Hear, bear.) One honourable gentleman said, " Do you talk of the clamour of the people—you yourselves are the cause of that clamour." Why that was a standing topic with the opponents of the Catholic question before their own conversion, and some of their allies, in their opposition to the present measure, retain that opinion still. (Hear, hear.) But when the Right Hon. Baronet came to propose that mea sure to the house, how did he deal with this topic P He said he would not ask how the agitation came, but he would take such mea sures as became a statesman to remove it. (Hear.) He would not ask how the billows had been raised, but he would pour oil on the troubled waters." (Hear.) Another standing topic was, " only con sider what extravagant notions the Catholics entertain; you talk of giving them this and that, but they are determined to have the &boil don of tithes and taxes—they want to have England itself." How did the right hon. baronet treat this argument ? He said, and he said truly, the best way to defend trourself from unreasonable demands, Is to grant what was reasonable. Another argument was, " think of the enormous cruelty of disfranchising—not individual—but a whole class of electors." When this measure was first p the Right Hon. Bart. strongly opposed it, and said, " he wed d never consent to nom. menu his career as a reformer by disfranchising so large a portion of his Majesty's subjects." Four years after he did commence his career as a reformer—not by adopting, but by proposing that very measure. The right hon. bait then said he felt no pleasure in proposing diafran. dawn - ant, but he was about to confer a put boon on Ireland, and in spite of all the taunts that might be used, he would all that was nec e ssary for its accomplishment. (Hear, hear, propose. That was the same spirit On which the government now acted. The excellence the mechanism of the close boroughs, and their excellent effects, had Lett much dwelt on : he had considered it much. The first view of the House of Commons was, that it should represent the Commons of England efficiently ; and the second was, that it should represent the Columns of England exclusively. This was what they were led to ex. pert from all the manuals of the Constitution that had been put into thc.r hands. What was it in fact ? No one could pretend that it was 1!.. Louse of the whole of the Commons of England ; and so far from aing nothing else, they were now told that the excellence that niakts it the admiration of the world, was its being the house of the King, Lords, and Commons. (Hear, hear.) The honourable anal learned gentleman said the boroughs formed the beauty of the Con vitution, without which it would be incompetent to the discharge of its , iattev. The same argument had been used by the hon. member for Cal!iagton ' wbo said, that if the Ho u s e o f C ommons admitted no other t: - .?.uoices than those of the people, it would forfeit its high character, „nd become unfit for its high functions. If these propositions were jest, the house stood In a false position in the eyes of the world of the people of this country ; and in these days of light they would never be able to maintain it in that false position.—(Hear, hear.) If the theory and practice be at war—lf the theory be just, it nun cot:demn the practice ; and if the practice be just, the theory must be false. Blackstone, De Lolme, and all the authorities , say the House or Com mons represents the Co mmons of England—all the forms of proceeding are the same—they pass resolutions that Peers shall ace: intvrfere in their election, and if the House of Peers make the thousandth part of an atom of change in a money bill, it is rejected ',r the H ouse o f C ommons as interfering with their rights. It was now so:d that the people had minds too obtuse to understand the Line ,'.l,:inctions which should exist between the theory and the practice. lie acknowledged that his mind was in that state ; but he felt confident, at liont the immense increase of national schools, the establishment Mvehanics' Institutions, and the wide-spread diffusion of knowledre, were quite capable of understanding the Constitution of ithckstune, though no: the refinements of the hon. gentleman. ?vt every election, every candidate teaches the people that I; Is the Constitution that they, and they only, should be represented in the House of Commons—but when they come to the practice they ray, this is all false doctrine, the beauty and utility of the Constitution consists in rotten boroughs. This is the Constitution the yrople cannot comprehend—doctrines so marvellously contradictory co.exist, and if the people were educated to eternity could not be understood. ( Hear, hear.) The moment the argument was uttered, tar secret was half betrayed—the free.masonry of rotten boroughs stood confessed—enough was seen to show the people the magnitude of the tills, hut not to protect the house from the consequences of the covery. (Hear, bear, hear.) He was fully convinad the p resent system told not go on. Was it not therefore rational and courageous to try trinher; and this Government were attempting to don (Hear, hear.) Ite would remind the house of a remark of Lord Plunkett's, if they ‘ , oti!d bear with him a few moments. (Cries of Go on, Go on.)— i.ortl Plunkett said—" If you sever wealth and knowledge from tar State, wealth and knowledge will destroy the State." —Hear, hear.)—lt could not be denied but that knowledge was fast ext. tending itself—it was increasing. Its chariot wheels did not drag ...vary. This was the general view that he took of the subject. Tisit t•t4cticability of the proposed system was doubted by the learned antleman who spoke last. He described in strong language the ~ . atiful system of close boroughs. It was through them, he said, *.a: genius found its way into that house. The instances he quoted in 'lgor? of ibis were certainly good. Mr. Grat l tur, howeve r, ose borough I,l w .n as il re ree. . !toed by a close borough and there were More lar.d.tha n open ones.

Supposing, said /i glu honourabl e gent l eman , that clamou r discontent may arise, t t l o i, t: cri edeterred from aw arding ampl e justice? (Hear.) Cl.. teat may arise from a just or unjust cause, therefore let us manfully do our duty. Let us do a n ac t o f justice to the country. and leave the event to Providence. (The right honourable gentleman sat down amidst loud cheering ) Mr. O'CONNELL moved the adjournment of the debate. Mr. FYLER complained of adjourning at that early hour, (half past twelve o'clock. Loud cries of adjourn, adjourn ; go on, go on ; question, question.) Lord ALTHORP said it was not usual for the house on important questions to adjourn thus early. No doubt a great many gentle men wished to speak before the house adjourned ; but from the length of the debate already, he hoped that if ar. adjournment was agreed to it would be on the understanding that they came to a conclusion to morrow (this day). Mr. BENNETT could not agree to any such understanding ; it might be very well for those who had already spoke ; but those who had not, he thought would not enter into any such compact. Mr. Ald. WAITHMAN had been waiting in the house ever since five o'clock, in the hope of catching the Speaker's eye, but without sue cess ; he, therefore for one could not agree to ,any arrangement for closing the debate t o-morrow evening. The Marquis of CHANDOS wished to ask the noble lord when he intended to move the second reading of the bill.—(Hear, hear.) Lord ALTHORP was desirous that it should take place before the Easter Recess. He therefore proposed that the second reading should be on Monday se'nnight (the 2lst inst.) That would give ample time for the public to judge of the principle of the bill. The Marquis of CHANDOS said, if it was delayed longer than the time mentioned, he for one would refuse granting the supplies of the Mutiny Bill. Sir GRAHAM.—Then I shall move the third reading of the Mutiny Bill immediately. After some discussion, in which Mr. Ooulburn and Sir Francis Bur dett took a part, Sir JAMES GRAHAM said he would not press for the third read in of the Mutiny Bill at that time. The debate was then adjourned until five o'clock this day. Several Bills were passed, and others forwarded a stage. DUTY OS CANDLES. Mr. HUME asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it was the intention of government to reduce the duty on wax as well as on tallow candles ? Lord ALTHORP said, he certainly had no such intention. Reducing the duty on wax candles would not benefit the poor and midZinzsclas sea, for whose benefit the reduction of the duty on tallow was proposed. Mr. HUME said, that was not his reason for asking the question. What he wished was, to see the removal of Excisemen from every manufactory. Several petitions were then presented, and the House adjourned at Half past Owl o'clock. OPINION OF THE NEWSPAPER PRESS ON THE MINISTERIAL PLAN OF REFORM. LONDON DAILY PRESS.

We have just received by Extraordinary Express the Messager des Chambres and Gazette de France of yester day, and all the Paris papers of Saturday and Sunday. Their contents are interesting : PARIS, MA RCII s.—The most perfect tranquility appears to reign in this capital, but that it will be permanent no man, French or foreigner, believes The panic felt at present by the English is greater than at any period since the revolu tion. The roads are covered with British families and indi viduals returning. to their native land. The French Government, in its anxiety to prova,its .neu trality, has ordered all the Italian residents of Lyorta—even those who had lived there during five years, and who had licenses (potentes), as shopkeepers, to quit that city.— Moreover, the celebrated Neapolitan General Pepe presented himself a few days since at the office of the Prefect, at Mar seilles, and demanded a passport. " Where are you goin was asked, "To Constantinople." " That is not the fact We know well where you are going." "No matter—l have paid all my debts. The French Government hs no claims on me, and therefore I demand to be allowed to go whereso ever I please." " You shall not. We have received orders by telegraph to stop you ;" and he was detained accordingly. These particulars, with an additional assurance of the success of the Poles, I have this moment had at the Cham ber of Deputies from one of its most distinguished Mem bers, who added expressions condemnatory in the highest degree of the conduct of the French Government toward. the Italians, and its heartless desertion (as he termed it) of the Poles. The Funds, you will perceive, have fallen nearly a franc. The expectation of war is general. In corroboration of the above, M. Jay, a Deputy and principal editor of the Constitutionvel, handed to M. Lafitte, in the Chamber, a letter dated Mayence (Mentz), the Ist inst. reiterating the assertion of a great and deci sive victory of the Poles over the Russians, confirming most word for word the despatches received by M. Ricte mont de Lauenberg and Co, Peals, M A RCII 6.—The accounts received here yester day afternoon of the successes of the Poles, and which I transmitted to you, have been published this day in all t h e Paris journals, and have created an enthusiasm in favour of the brave Poles which it would be difficult, in describing it. to exaggerate. All Paris is preparing to illuminate to-night, the official confirmation of yesterday's reports being ex- I pected momentarily, and, it is hardly necessary to add, m ith breathless anxiety. Two o'Clock, p.m.—Up to this moment no further ac -1 counts have arrived from Warsaw. The Poles remaining here are full of hope, although they admit the danger that may arise from the Polish army being attacked in the rear by the right and left wings of the Russians. I am sorry to say, in addition, that doubt still rests upon the news that Lithuania was in insurrection. (EXTRACT OE ANOTHER LETTER.) The intelligence of the heroic and successful resistance of the Poles flew like wildfire through this metropolis yesterday evening. The Rue St. Denis and des Lombards (the Thames street and Fenchurch-street of Paris) in an instant became bright as at noon-day by a spontaneous illumination. All the cafes were crowded by persons anxious to hear and speak of the news ; and in all the theatres, between the acts of the performances, shouts of " Vivent les Polonais ! " escaped the audience. POLAND. (Fro* the Mercury of Warsaw, Feb. 22. ) Field Marshal Diebitsch sent an aide-de-camp to Prince Radziwill, in the evening of the 21st, to ask for a suspension of hostilities, but being refused, he immediately despatched General Rozniecky to St. Petersburg, to prepare the Em. peror for the unfavourable news he had to communicate, and to inform his Majesty that if he did not send bim reinforce ments and money he could not hold out against the enthu siasm and bravery of the Poles. (Froze the Courrier Francais of Sunday.) PARIS. Letters, dated Feb. 22, were received yesterday from War saw, which are somewhat favourable to the Poles. The Russians have retired, as it were , discouraged by the refin ance they had enco u nt ere d, the losses they had sustain ed. and the incontestible superiority of the Polish troops. They appear, likewise, to have suffered from want of provisions, and, if we consider that the approaching thaw may render the roads impassable, the Poles may expect some respite. The Lithuanian corps, which forms part of the Russian army, was engaged in the affair of the day before yesterday. Several prisoners belonging to it have arrived. They appear struck with stupor. They were told that they entered Po land for the purpose of marching against the French, whu were masters of the country. From the Journal des Delats of Sunday. PARIS. The report of the success of the Poles, and the insur rection of Lithuania, had excited the greatest joy in Pails. We have been informed, however, in the most positive man ner, that the last report is unfortunately without foundation. The Government received, to-day, despatches from %I'm saw, dated the 22d in the evening. That day the Poles conti nued to preserve their advantage, and had obtained some par tial success, but with considerable loss of lives. The Russians were beginning to retreat. No account of the Lithuanian insurrection had been received on that day in Warsaw. Morning Herald. In 1775, on a farm in the midland counties, rent, tithe, rates, &c. were 701. and in 1830 they are 2501. and the value of produce nearly the same. Can we wonder that farmers cannot emrloy labourers? The trade of politicians seems in cs great danger of being destroyed by the Reform Bill, ::s that of war by the $1:-. ( 1i_ cation of Napoleon. So mites in a cheese nibble at the mountain till they lose their object. What will become of them ? The press panders too much to vulgar tastes in its petty details of police, incidents, &c. it feeds the lovers of the mar vellous by wonders day by day, which, if they ever happen, do net occur above once in a century. The French and Continental Editors display better taste. In them prurient curiosity is never indulged with murders, robberies, acci dents, suicides, &c. except when they are of general public import nice. These are John Bali's exclusive hobby, public events, foreign and domestic, diversified only with lite:att►re, the fine arts, and the drama, distinguish between foreign and English newspapers, The moat mischievous pests of the community are those aviricious news-editors who puff rep the state of trade, in order to please their advertizing customers. Papers, in ge neral, have local advertisements in the inverse ratio of their honest : in this respect. They must not cry, Stinking Fish ! Hence, trade is always improving, prices are constantly rising, and workmen are fully employed at higher wages ; and as, for years, no accounts appear of retrogradation, it would be curious to calculate the present last term of this wonderfully increasing series ! Yet such are the data of our fox-hunting and elbow-shaking legislators! We axe knew a provincial editor who boasted for years of his 100 advertisements per week ; but a sub-editor one week bonondy described the depressed state of the local manufactories, and from that time his advertisements fell to 60, 50,40, and 20, till the man died of a broken heart. ~[ MIEN" PARLUMEA TART STATISTICS POPULATION OP THE SIXTY at ACCORDING TO Tit Population. maborou g h (York) • 48: Aldeburgh (Suffolk) . 1212 Appleby . 824 Bedwin . 1928 Beeralston Bishop's Castle . 1616 Bletchingly . 1187 • Boroughbridge 800 • Bossing • 877 .

Eleven hours and a half per day are long enough. Within the last three months there have been in the United Kingdom above 1,300 public Reform Meetings, at which 19.,700 speeches have beenaddressed to above 1 million of auditors. In several of the newly privileged places, local candidates have already announced themselves. At Cheltenham the anxious electors have been publicly requested to withhold their promises. Suicides, like crimes, seem to increase, with taxes awl distress. Their number might hare been wade an argument in favour of reform. Thank GOD the Reform discussions have put to flight the usurers. We have usury enough, and don't want it to be legalized. Profits of 21 per cent. on trade are ill opposed I to 5 per cent. but the money jobbers are wanting to have Ithe power of cozening us out of 20 or 30. The Loan deliver us from their tender mercies !
