" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has.been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in, the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the, scientific principles upon which their management is founded. By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work w►e can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject to stricture." —Medical Circular, Dec.

There is complete than to suppose that because a and votes under the £lO household qualiflea, ford lives in a tlO house. (Hear.) Reflection . tion, especially during the last twelvemonths, have, impressed that pretty clearly on the conviction of society. In this body of 440,000 householders all classes almost in her Majesty's dominions are included, from the patrician, who perhaps pays a rent of £l,OOO for his dwelling, down to the weaver and wharfinger of the Tower Hamlets who exercise the franchise at present under the lowest denomination or qualification. But between Grosvenor-square and the TOWN Hamlets, or rather between the classes they represent, there is scarcelY a class in England which is not included in the pre sent constituent body of the country—all mercantile, all pro fessional classes, all the various classes of retail dealer., classes of different political opinions, of . different religious opi nions, different habits; and of different status. But yonnow Propose to add to these 410,000 persons, whose feelings, position, opinions, and habits are all so varying and so con trary, no less than 217,000 peesons, who age all drawn from the same class- e -Mppositin cheer.:)—whoso opinions, feedings, and habits are identical.-(hear, hear)—and Tort must necessarily consider what will be the effect upon your present eatscitizent bady, with its veri , a - is elements, of the introduction iet a class 30 essentially different. It may be said that raieiria- threbonFtitueney from 440,000 to 653,000 is not a very great exp6rirm nt. lt is, as the noble lord says. only an increase of "one-thied. But if we accept the calcu lation of the noble lord, it appears to me that we shall em brace a fallacy which in calmly considering the question will greatly deceive us. The proposition before us is to sea what - will be the probable effect of the proposed now borough constituency upon the present constituency, and as it pro duces no effect whatever on the metropolitan constituency, or the constituency of the universities, we must deduct their amount from the existing body before we can pretend to estimate what will be the effect of the new body Upon the old. If we deduct 145,000 for the electors of the metropo litan districts and the universities, frora the, present amount, we shall find the amount of the present constituencies which , can be affected by this new element is only 288,000, and making a deduction of 20 pei . cent. for the increased Aunt- , ber which the noble lord proposes, they will amount to - 203,000, and therefore you have to consider what will be the effect upon the constituencies of a homogeneous' class of 203,000 coming into competition in. public elections with the old body amounting to 238,000. But even that mode of placing the question will hardly convey a complete idea to the house of the manner in which those new constituen cies must necessarily act upon the boroughs of the country. Considering now what will be the effect of the 203,000 voters all of one class, bound together by the same senti ments and the same habits, upon the 288,000 voters who are animated by different opinions, influenced by different sentiments, and regulated by different habits, we shall find that in six boroughs, and some of the most important in the country, the constituency is trebled ; that in 28 PRICE 4D. STAMPED, SD. cordance with the vote of both Houses of ParliamenL The Royal reply was as follows : " I thank you for your most loyal and dutiful address ; and it is most gratifying to receive your assurance, after having considered the treaty of commerce which I have con cluded with the Emperor Of the French, that you are prepared to take steps for assisting me in giving, effect to a met:sure calculated to promote,a beneficial intercourse between this country and Prance, and will afford additional security for the continuance of peace." BEV.I_MLEY ELECTION. Mr. ETANS, the chairman of the committee appointed to try the merits Of the. petition against tho return of the sitting member for the borough of Beverley, Mr. Walk e r, brought up the' report, w hi c h declined that, thong!: bribery and treating had been established at the election, they wire of opiniOn that it was Without his knowledge or Consent, and the he lens duly returned. _ boroughs the constituency is doubled ; that in 48 boroughs the addition is equal to one half at least, or more ; and therefore that about one half of the boroughs of England and Wales will, so far as we can find by calculation, be un der the influence of the new class about to be enfranchised. (Hear.) I give no opinion at present, I only wish to put be fore the house what is the clear state of the facts, and what may be the probable result of those facts. Are the particular class upon whom whom you arc about to confer this great,., political power, incapable or unlikely to act upon it ? Are they a class who have shown no inclination to combine ?'I ( Are they a class incapable of organisation ? I think I may say, quite the reverse. (Hear.) If you look to the history of our country during the present century you will find that the aristocracy, or upper classes, have on several very start , ling occasions shown a great power of organisation. I think it cannot be denied, that the working classes have shown re markable talent for organisation, and a power of discipline and combination inferior to none. Ido not think you can eay that of the middle classes. With the exception of the Anti-Corn-law League, I cannot meal at this moment any great or successful political organisation of the middle classes ; and we now know, with regard to the Anti-Corn law League, that confederation, which ultimately proved so triumphant, was at one time on the eve of dissolution. (No, no.) However, that does not affect my argument, which is founded upon the fact that the working classes have on many occasions shown powers of organisation and discip line quite equal to those of the upper classes of the country; but that the middle classes, with the exception of the Anti -1 Corn-law League, have not within my memory ever eon ! ducted any great political demonstration successfully. (Hear.) Now, then, the class to which you are asked to give this. predominating power is a class to my mind perfectly capable of using it. From the days of the Luddites to the present period, I believe at least, the traditions, often the very offices, among the working classes, their frequently secret, but always well disciplined, organisation, have always been well preserved. It is said of the working classes that they are extremely intelligent and educated, and that they are therefore entitled to the suffrage. I don't at all deny their intelligence, and often their information, but those are reasons why you should take care in legislating upon this subject that you should not give them a predominance. The more intelligent and better educated they are the more careful ought we to be that they should not have a predo minant power. What have we been complaining of so much ? What has been the object, as I understand, of, all our legislative labours for some years past, but to put an end :to class legislation ? (Hear, hear.) But, if you are now proceeding to establish class legislation of a kind which, I think, few people can view without apprehen sion, surely it is highly necessary, in establishing a new legislative system, that you should not establish by that means a class legislation with the power of which, and the consequences of which, no class legislation in this country, which has hitherto only partially prevailed, can for a mo ment be compared. It is an obvious policy, while you are attempting to introduce the working classes to the Iran i chise, to counteract the tendency to this class domination, by giving a variety of franchises, by effecting natural coun terpoises to such consequences which all must deprecate, and that was attempted in the bill which was brought for ward last year. But how were those propositions met ? They were called fancy franchises, and that was considered an answer. (Hear.) Well, sir, the alliteration tickles the ear and is a very popular form of language. It is, I be lieve, the characteristic of all rude and barbarous poetry— (laughter)—but it is not an argument in legislation, and when we hear the objection to fancy franchises it is a re markable circumstance that this bill had not been a fort night on the table before I found distinguished liberals rising from various quarters of the benches opposite, and proposing the introduction of what were denounced last year as fancy franchises. (Hear.) Let us see for a mo ment what you mean by fancy franchises. We never had an opportunity of arguing the question last year, because we were not allowed to go into committee. Now, I take that fancy franchise which originates in the partial occupation of a house. It is called the lodger franchise. Hon. gentlemen speak of this franchise as if a lodger were a casual circum stance in our social life, and say that it may be as well as not to give a lodger the suffrage—that he is very likely to be a very respectable man, but that, after all, it is not a matter of great importance. Why, sir, a lodger is not an accident of life, but a condition of our life ; and the richer a country grows, the more trading in a country grows, the more numerous must be the lodger class. (Hear, hear.) In proportion as your retail trade assumes vast proportions—in proportion as it increases in shopkeepers, for example— those shopkeepers must have a larger shop as a magazine for stores, as a mode of exhibiting goods, and the larger the shops throughout England the more disproportioned arethe houses to the social wants of the shopkeeper; just as you increase in wealth and in trade there will be a necessity for filling these ample and commodious storehouses, and that calls the lodger class into existence. The lodger class as a class have all those qualities which make a man respectable in this country. They have ample or sufficient means—they have education—they have a sense of responsibility—and the , perform their public duties with regularity and integ rity ; and therefore it is inconsistent to give votes to the oc cupiers • of houses when they who really uphold them are frequently more wealthy and more educated. The lodger class as a condition of social life is every year increasing in numbers and in influence, and are to be debarred of a fancy arust of which they are worthy, simply because o franchise. (Hear, hear.) It is not a franchise,fanc;itcal me but it will be a real franchise, and in many cases will call be worthily filled than by the owner of the house, who by your limited and barbarous notions is the only one entitled to the suffrage. (Hear, hear.) The payment of direct taxes may well be the basis of the suffrage. You have now in this country substituted direct taxation in a great degree for in direct taxation. That is a subject of the utmost of direct im importance. No No doubt the skilfu l and limited substitution indirect taxation, which has been going on for some years, is highly advantageous to this country; but it is a system w hi c h, if not pursued with great prudence and caution, wou ld make the Finance Minister of this country who proposed it the Necker o f England. It is a pro cess fraught with grave consequences to this country, and at a m oment when you are now proposing not only to confer the franchise but probably to confer a predominating power upon a class who do not pay direct taxes, I hardly know an y qualification which could be more properly recom mended to the house than that which is based on the pay ment of direct taxes. (Hear, hear.) But aro we to be answered, when such momentous consequences may de pend upon the class enfranchised upon that basis, that it is a mere fancy franchise? (Hear, hear.) Why, it is un necessary to pursue the subject, because every one must feel what a silly and unmeaning phrase that was. I have placed before the house some critical remarks with respect to the borough franchise. I think the noble lord made a mistake in founding his proposition on the mere considera tion of numbers. I think the noble lord ought to have considered in the first place fitness, and not numbers. (Hear.) According to his principle it appears to me that the noble lord is to introduce a body, homogeneous in cha racter and interests, of upwards of 200,000 in our boroughs, in addition to what is really not more, as far their influence is concerned—and this I must press on the attention of the house—a body of not more than 258,000. In half the boroughs of England the new constituency of one body would be able in all probability to command the seats, and thus you aro changing the depository of power to a 'very [Continued iu 911 r 191Ittb page.] BURROWS AND CO., Wholesale Wine ;Ma . !chants, LIV_ERPOOL.

C. Marshrnan in the chair. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said it was with the greatest satisfaction the directors, at the first meeting of the com pany, had tq announce that the undertaking for which the company had been formed had been com pletely accomplished. (Hear.) The line from Alexandria to Kurrachee had been laid, and on Friday last a telegram had been received from India by means of it in six days, and on the next day her Majesty the Queen had sent the first tele graphic message from England to be conveyed by it from Alexandria to India. On the 12th of last month the laying of the entire line, about 3,000 miles of submarine cable, was completed. The company had ordered a steamer to be built for visiting the various telegraph stations on the route and she would be ready in May next. A work • shop for stores and repairs bad been established at Alexandria. The line from Constantinople to Alexandria bad not been completed, therefore mes sages from Alexandria had to be conveyed by steamers to Trieste, Malta and Marseilles. Two attempts to complete the line of telegraph from Alexandria to Candia had- failed, but it was hoped that iri the course of two or three months they would be enabled to telegraph from London to Calcutta. (Hear.) As to the financial posi tion of the company, it was most satisfactory. He believed that in about five years lines of tele graph would be completed from England to all the dependencies of the British Crown, and that every day they would read in the newspapers telegrams from India, China, Canada, and all other colonial places. Mr. W. DENT, in seconding the motion for the adoption of the report, said the distance between Candia and Alexandriik was only 350 miles, and when that was completeU they could telegraph the entire distance to some observations from Dr. BEATTIE, the report was adopted.

He complained of the Duke of New castle's observations upon-him in' putting the question he considered it his duty to do on that evening. It was very far from his wish, if it was inconvenient for the noble duke to reply to his question, but he should very much like to know whether the noble duke could now do so. The Duke of NEWCASTLE said he thought the noble marquis was unde r s o me m i s t a k e w ith res p ec t t o what the noble lord, the Secretary of Woreign...kfClirs had stated with respect to M.

Lord TEYNHAM, having presented a number.of peti tions from Doitwich, Maidston Chi:haster, Corn wall, ,Newport, Me. of Wight, Norwich, Chatham, the ,Northern Reform :Union, Sz - c, in favour of vote by ballot, proceeded to move a resolution to the effect that it was ex pedient in the election of members to,4erve in Parliament that the rotes of the electors should be taken by secret ballot. The noble lord said, in moving tho resolution he felt that the su.bjeet was well worthy of the most attentive consideration of theirlodships, especially as it was year by year brought before the other House of Parliament, and the effect of a discussion in their lordships' house would most likely tend to put marl of the opponents of the ballot right, and tend to convert the minority of that house into a majo rity. The'question involved many points of great import ance, of a moral charttetcr, affecting the happiness of large Masses of our fellow- creatures, both in this world and the world to come ; all the endeavours 6f Parliament had - been ineffectual to wipe out the stain of corruption and bribery on our electoral system, which was at the present time as bad as ever. It behoved Parliament, then, seriously to set to work and endeavour by some effectual means to blot it out. The ballot had been made one of the settled institu tions of the United States, and in their colonies in the south ern hemisphere the ballet had boon adopted as a means of avoiding the evils of the mother country ; and such a system • was well worth the consideration of thoughtful men. In ano- ther place the question of the ballot had been periodically de bated, and year by year its advocates were gradually increas ins, till at length the minority had become very large. Now, in what condition did the question come before their lord ships ? There. as surely no man who could avoid deploring the evils of whiCh the system of open voting was the fruitful source, and of which bribery was one of the most calamitous results, as it sapped the very foundation of all moral feeling. Under such circumstances it behoved their lordships to take the question of the ballot lute their most serious consitlera. tion, for the purpose of ! t tsbeitaining, whether it might not be made the means of putting a stop to those scenes of bribery and clenloralisation -which at present prevailed. Up to 1820, the practice of balloting prevailed in their lordships' house, and as a strong feeling prevailed upon the subject throughout the country, it became a question whether the system of the ballot should not be seriously considered by their lordships. It had been his painful duty to examine into the evils which were associated with open voting, and the sad consequences which were the result. The noble lord here read a letter from a solicitor in. 1858, showing. the , practices which Were resorted to by candidates at elections, especially that of employing an un necessary number of solicitors to operate upon the electors. If a solicitor, acting as an agent, sought to influence a voter' through the knowledge he possessed of the elector's private circumstances, and by such means induced him to vote against his conscience, was a system under which such practices could 'be practised one which their lordships would desire to see upheld ? Open voting had the effect of leading to scenes of great immorality and vice. Now, under the system of the ballot such results could not occur, nor could the disgusting practice of bribery be openly and un blushingly indulged in. While there had been some pro secutions for bribery, still it could be indulged in in such a wsy as to make it difficult for the law to step in, and hence there was an additional argument in favour of the ballot. Along with bribery, there was, under the system of open voting, the detestable practice of intimidation resorted to to deter the voter from recording an honest vote, and he was sorry to say that women were extensively employed among tradesmen to carry out this system'of intimidation. He thought that a very large number of the electors who were on the register abstained from voting. It was difficult to ac count for it, but it was a fact, and therefore the House of Commons was not in that condition as the representative of the entire country which tho theory of the Constitution de signed it should be. Elections were often closely run, and looking at those who did not vote, and at those who might be on the register but were not, they might often have turned the election had they recorded their votes. These classes wereeoften the most valuable, both in position and character, of the entire constituencies. In Cumnock, in Scotland, the electors had requested the removal of the poll ing place to Ayr, and they intimated that such were the indignities and insults to which they had been exposed that nothing on earth should ever induce them to Vote again in. That had not. been unfrequently tho case in other 2 1 aces• The bearing of this question on individual liberty was I ° l7 important. There were those who thought they were free, and were not so. As long as the law of open voting ex isted how could they prevent these abuses —nothing but the ballot could cure them. One of the most blessed move ments of the day was the throwing open of the theatres and public places for the preaching of the Gospel, and under these influences truth and sincerity would increase, but, upon the other hand, how could they expect religion to improve mankind if they allowed intimidation and fear to compel men sometimes to vote against their consciencies, and at other times deterred them from voting at all; There might be freedom in religion, but there was no freedom in political life. They wished to push out intimidation, secret bribery, and fear of voting. It was said that secret voting would encourage secret lying, inasmuch as people would often promise and not perform. But at present promises were often made, and afterwards, from change of circum stances, the electors were sorry that they had made these promises. The only other objection made against secret voting was this, that it was a protection afforded to cowards, and that the independent did not need it ; but he had shown that numbers of the most valuable classes of the community did not vote all, and that others of them had not even placed their names on the register. And what other reason could there be for this, except that which he had indicated ? On what grounds had they a right to expect that if they got a secret ballot they would secure protection to the voter ? If they went back to ancient States they would find that neither Rome, nor Greece, nor Venice would ever have risen to the greatness it had attained had it not been for tke ballot. And if the ballot effected this in Venice, who would say that it would not produce the same results in this country, where there was quite as great a necessity for economy in the expenditure of public money as there was in Venice. The noble lord quoted from the narrative of an English, gentleman attached to an embassy sent by this country to Venice in 1696, to show the beneficial effects of the ballot. But he need not go to Venice for proofs, he found them in the reports of the proceedings of their lordships' house in 1703, when they elected most important commissioners by ballot to inquire into the state of the public accounts of the kingdom. Why should that not be equally efficacious in the election of members of the other house of Parliament ? In asking for the adoption of the ballot, he asked for no novelty, because he found that in one borough in Hampshire the elections were taken by ballot in the time of William ( 111, with the best possible results to all parties concerned. If it worked well in one borough, why should it not in all ? These were a few of the reasons which had induced him to bring the subject before their lordships. He believed that the facts were such as to induce even those who did not agree - with him to unite with him in thinking that the question was at least one which deserved consideration, and that it wits of the greatest importance that the bribery, corruption, intimidation, and drunkenness, which he had shown to exist, should be put down, and he believed that could only be done by the ballot. If they refused to adopt the remedy he proposed they were bound to provide sOUn ether, and with then view he pegged to moyp 9A4it it is expedient in the election of members to serve in Parlia ment that the votes of the electors be taken by secret ballot. The Duke of NEWCASTLE said he had listened with great attention to the noble lord's address of an hour and a half, but was at a loss to see how he established any con nexion between the evils he had put before their lordships and the remedy he propoeed. He had quoted some pre cedents ef the tithe of William and of Anne ; but the ballot there spoken of had no more to do with secret voting than had the ballot adopted in the other house for, the appoint ment of committees, or that ballot which took place on the first day of the session to determine which of the Commons should have the opportunity of hearing her Xajesty's most gracioas speech. (Hear, hear.). ,The noble lord said that the ballot would tell as much in favour of the Conservative party as of any other. The noble lord was perfeptly right. He (the Duke of Newcastle) did not oppose the ballot from any party view, or because it would have a democratic ten dency. He believed that there was as much intimidation on the democratic side as on the other. (Hear; hear.) IVere there no other objection they might agree to the noble lord'S resolution without a division. But he looked upon it not as a party question, but amoral and social question, and a political 'question apart from party considerations. There were three great examples of the working of the bal lot—on the Continent of Europe, especially in France—in the United States—and in our great Australian colonies. The noble lord had not touched much upon France; but in that country the ballot had been adopted as a means of re sisting the influence of the Government, and yet these was an entire suppression of any free expression of opinion. (Hear, hear.) The noble lord had entirely overlooked the United States ; and he was quite right ; for there the ballot was not secret voting, but a mere system of voting by ticket- In one State the secret ballot was adopted, but it only lasted a yeah; and at this moment the secret ballot did not exist in America. He believed that among a z ace of British origin it never would be found to work successfully, or even with out producing greater evils than those which it was meant to rectify.' The opinion in favour of the ballot was by no means so strong in the Australian colonies , as many People supposed ; but if it were successful anywhere it was in 'Vic toria. But was the example of a few years in a colony like that to be our guide ? Looking at the different conditions of society here and in the colony, and at the absence in' the latter of those great vested interests which existed at home, could any one say, even if after a few years' ex perience the ballot had proved successful in Ahs tralia, that it would be safe to try it here ? He knew no t whether the noble lord wished the ballot to be optional or, compulsory. If it were made compulsory, the principle mast be carried out to its legitimate conclusion, and ;t must be made penal not only for a man to give his vote openly, but to tell how he had given it afterwards. They must alter the whole system of elections—abolish, canvassing, forbid election committees, do away with nomination days and the display of hands, and forbid the employment of solicitors. (A laugh.) Such a system of subserviency to secrecy could never be maintained in' this country. If the ballot were optional, how would it effect the object desired ? A majority on either side would go and vote openly; and in all great Constituencies it would be more easy than ever to intimi date and bribe. An elector would be told, "The great ma jority of the voters vote openly ;'and. if you don't do so, we shall know that you are voting against us." The noble lord said thht no law had yeti reached intimidation. But was it not much less rife than it was 30 yairs ago ? And why ? The noble lord said tbo law could not touch it; but some thing had touched it; and that ,was the improved moral sense of the country. These motives, if allowed to operate, would be far 'more effectual than any law they might pass in favour of the ballot-box or any (ether scheme. As to bribery, it was proved to demonstration that secret voting would give increased facilities for it. The effect would be that the law attorneys in each town would carry on elec tions as they best knew how; candidates would say to elec tors, "If you vote for me I will pay you ; if not, I will not pay you"—(hear, hear)—and the last evils of bribery would be worse than the first. He (the Duren of Newcastle) be lieved that he should be best consultbag the feeling of their lordships' house by not prolonging kin observations on this subject, particularly as during the many yeers he had sat in the House of Commons he had heard the questions° often dis cussed that he felt he should be trespassing upon their lord ships' patience if he were to go through the trite arguments which mustbe already sowellknowntathem. He would say, however, thus much—that he considered personal responsi bility to be one of the greatest featntres of constitutional government—(hear, hear)—and if they were to grant the ballot, they would be depriving the electors of the com munity of this privilege. The vote of every man, he thought, must be considered as a trust—if not strictly in the legal, yet in moral and political sense of the word. A man's vote was given to him to be exercised for the public good ; and it was right that ho should be made responsible for it, by beinuubmitted to tke course of public opinion. Their lord ships' votes were a trust also : they were responsible for them to public opinion ; and he must say he thought that an attempt to take their lordships' votes in that way would be as distasteful to the public as it undoubtedly would be to their lordships. If they did away with the sense of re sponsibility, and the influence of public opinion, they would be striking a great blow at freedom its elf, and taking ono of the surest steps possible towards demoralising the people. He thought that the force of public opinion should be brought to bear still More strongly upon the practices at elections which had occasioned so much astonishment and scandal. Their lordships had done a great deal already ; let them only persevere in the same course, and he believed they might anticipate—if not in their own lifetime, yet before any great lapse of years, a state of things in which a man might be able to vote without the servile fear of any tyran nical interference, without seeking to throw secrecy like a cloak of darkness over his proceedings, as being his only safeguard and security. (Hear.) • The LORD CHANCELLOR then put the resolution to thahouse, and their lordships divided, when there appeared in the minority three noble lords, besides the tellers, the Earl de Grey and Lord. Teynham. Before the announcement of the numbers, The Earl of DERBY rose, but immediately afterwards, on being reminded by the Lord Chancellor of the forms of the house, took his seat and addressed their lordships sitting, as did the other noble lords who took part in the subsequent conversation. The noble earl said that before the numbers were announced he wished to call their lordships' attention to the fact, that while the question was being put, hi be lieved one of the noble lords who acted as teller, and two w2lO voted, were out of the house. He believed that in order to be , entitled to vote it was necessary that peers should be within the.house when the question - was put. The Earl of MALMESBITRYconIInned the observation of the Earl of Derby. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that the rule was as the noble earl (Derby) had stated it to be. The Earl DE GREY and RIPON - acknowledged that he was not within the technical limits df the house when the question was put. Lord BELPER explained that Lord Llanover and him self, the two ether noble lords referred to, were standing outside the partition when the question was begun to be put ; but before it was concluded they had stepped within the boundary, and had taken their seats at the back of the bishops' bench. The Duke of NEWCASTLE said that as the Earl ,de Grey had admitted that ho was not present his vote must be struck out; but he presumed the noble earl would not press his objection with. regard to the two other noble lords who had stated' that they were present whilst the resolution was read. The Earl of DERBY said he had no wish to press the objection. He only wished to call their lordships attention to the circumstance. The vote of the Earl de Grey was then cancelled, 'after which the numbers stood thus — Contents 4 Non-contents The resolution was consequently lost. SELLING AND HAWKING GOODS, &c., ON SUNDAY BILL.

RUSSELL brought up additional correspon dence relating to the aiTairs of Italy, wAuch was ordered to lie on the table. THE REFORM BILL. Col. SYKES ave notice that when the Reform Bill was again broaght before the house, he would move for the insertion of a clause to the effect that, on the dissolution of successive Parlianients, after the present Parliament, con stitnencies not numbering 1,000 should not be entitled to send representatives to Parliament. Mr. STEEL asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if tenants who paid £6 rent and upwards in any city or borough, but whose landlordi compounded fbr the poor rates, would be entitled to vote under.the new Reform Bill; and if tenants-who paid the like rent of nand upwards by quarterly or monthly payments, who held from year to year, Would be also entitled to vote; and, if not, how could these parties become so entitled ? Lord J. RUSSELL said that tenants paying £6 a year would, under tho provisions of the present bill, be placed in the same position as those who paid £lO a year under the last Reform Bill. With regard to the second question of the hon. member, he considered it to be a matter to be de cided by the revising barrister. ARTILLERY OFFICERS. Captain JERVIS asked the Secretary of State for War, whether, taking into consideration the importance attached at the presentdayto artillery throughout Europe, there was any intention to place the officers commanding the British artillery in the principal stations abroad andat home, in cluding Aldershot, in. a position compatible with their du ties by giving‘thom the rank of Brigadier•Genefal ? Mr. S. I - lERI3ERT said the subject was under consi deration. = TURKISH MEDALS. Mr. COLLIN'S asked the Secretary of State for War when the Turldsh silver medals which had been received from the Ottoman Government, would be issued to those officers and non-commissioned officers who were entitled to the same, who are now serving in regiments of militia. Mr. S. HERBERT said that the vessel, in which these medals had been sent had gene to the bottom, and under the circumstances he could give the bon. member no infor mation. (Laughter.) NICE. Mr. KINGLAKE moved the adjournment of the house, in order to enable him to ask the- noble lord some questions in reference to an important subject which he had formerly brought before the house. He never ion to ad dress the house with greater pleasure than ho did on the present occasion, for he had just received from Nice intelli gence of a very gratifying character. That intelligence was to the effect that the Aiunicipal Council of Nice had agreed to an annexation to Sardinia, and repudiated any annexa tion to l Trance. (Hear.) In the declaration of that wish they expressed a hope that if Nice could not be annexed to Sardinia, they might be erected into an independent State. A deputation had left Nice for Turin to carry to the King of Sardinia the resolutions embodying these views of the council. That council had also passed a vote of thanks to two members of this house—namely, the member fen- Horsham and the hon. bart. the member for Tamworth. (Hear, and laughter.) He wished to know if her Majesty's Government had received a note from the Government of Switzerland expressing on behalf of, that State a desire to appeal to the great Powers of Europe in reference to this subject, and whether they would delay their final answer to Thouvenel until that appeal had been received ? Lord J. RUSSELL stated that the Government had not received any such notice as that - alluded to. With regard to the other question of the hon. member, he appealed to the house for their forbearance. A despatch of great im portance had been received from M. Thouvenel, and he trusted that her Majesty's Government would be permitted to deliberate freely on the answer they would return to that despatch. (Hear, hear.) ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE FOR EASTER, In reply to Mr. SPOONER, Lord PALMERSTON said that hon. members had been called together earlier than usual this session, and no doubt were anxious to adjourn for the holidays as soon as possible. However, that adjournment must depend upon the business of the house, and there were some bills of a very urgent character to be disposed of. Under these circumstances, he could not say on what day the house would adjourn for the holidays. REFORM DILL. On the motion for the second reading of this bill, Mr. DISRAELI—Mr. Speaker, I understand the pro moters of this bill claim for it the merit of simplicity. Sim plicity in the operations of nature is admirable, because there we see adequate means adapted to the end proposed But simplicity in matters of legislation is a quality of an ambiguous character, because if we find that adequate means are not adapted to the end proposed it is not true simplicity we arrive at, but rather imperfection and incom petency. What is the end proposed by the bill ? The end is the amendment cf tho representation of the people in England and Wales. Are the means adequate to that end ? My first impression when I take up this bill is, that it might have been drawn up four or five centuries ago. Except tleit land we tread and masses of bricks and mortar, I do not see any other property referred to as a qualification for exercis ing a franchise, and that in a country where for more than a century the people have been doing nothing but creating and accumulating various properties to an incalculable amount. The classes of intelligence, of acquirements and education, are not noticed. The bill is indeed of a mediwval character, but without any of the inspiration of the feudal system or of the genius of the middle ages. It proposes to itself three principles. It is to extend the suffrage in the counties and boroughs, and is to effect some re-distribution of parliamentary seats. These are certainly objects well worthy the consideration of the house ; but there are objects almost as important as conferring the franchise, which, singular to say, are not even alluded to. It has been thought that it was one of our first duties to consider whether by a more perfect registration, and by greater facilities for polling, the possession and exercise of the franchise could not be rendered far more valuable to the community, and far more advantageous to them. I may remind the house that in the bill which I had the honour to introduce to the notice of the late House of Commons, there was a proposition, to be carried into effect by numerous clauses, to establish a self-acting register, and there was a scheme perfectly Carried cut which by multiplying polling places greatly checked that corruption of which we all so much complained, and to such a degree that the ministers of that day felt really justified in asking the House of Com mons to declare that all travelling expenses at elections should thereafter become illegal. But I do not see in this bill for the reform of the representation of the people, so limited in its conception, any allusion to those primary and absolute necessary topics in a measure of this character. So far as the general aspect of the bill is concerned I may say its omissions are its principal feature. The materials, from which it draws its franchise are of a limited character, and some of the most important topics connected with the exer cise of the franchise are entirely omitted. Let us now con sider the bill more in detail. It has three principles. It extends the franchise in the counties and boroughs, and it effects a re-distribution of Parliamentary seats. I will first touch upon the arrangements proposed by the promoters of the bill with reference to the borough franchise, for this reason, that in the statement with which the noble lord in troduced the measure, that was the only part of the bill on which he laid down the principle upon which he was act ing. On another occasion I laid down on the part of ray colleagues the principle on which we had acted in recon structing the constituencies of this country, and I ventured to affirm that those persons to whom we thought that high privilege might be safely entrusted, and who would exercise it for the general welfare of the country, and therefore I said that in snaking my propositions I had not considered to what numerical degree they might arrive. The fitness of the recipient was what we had before.us, and we there fore did not embarrass ourselves by any consideration of the number of persons who might receive the suffrage. That was nor the principle on which her Majesty's Ministers had acted in this measure. On the contrary, the noble lord, in laying down the principle on which he acted, said that he had to consider what would be the num ber added generally to the boroughs by the different me thodsd proposed. The noble lord said that if he he taken a rating of £9, for example, he would only have got t so many—had it been £B, it would have been. more,p. but not enough ; and he had therefore fixed theratge at a ar250,000 enough, and did g fielder figure in the boroughs, would which additional votes, and he thought th at was that it was too not think the house would be ofopinion the franchise on much. I say that in proposi n g shouldto confer look to their fitn ess , those who do not possess it, we and should numbe no r t ebfe:ezidering whether wo could obtain a certain and ask for the support of Parli a • merit because t h e number was one which may not alar m us. If instead of 257,000 m en there had been 557,000 men, and th e y were, i n tho opinion of the house, entitl e d t o the fran chise, the franchise ought to be granted them. (Hear.) But what is this addition which the noble lord is about to make to the borough franchise ? The figures of the noble lord are these :—the present constituency of the boroughs of England in round numbers may be placed at 440,000, in cluding the freemen, and he makes a proposition by which they OVIA kc jAcremo tQ 08 3 000, jet us cousibr what is TEETH REPLACED.-DECAYED TEETH RESTORED.
