IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. 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 proposed. He had quoted some pre - cedents of the time of William and of Anne ; but the ballot (hare 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 Majesty's most gracious 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 perfectly right. He (the Duke of Newcastle) did not oppose the ballot from any party view, or because it would have a democratic ten dency. lie believed that there was as much intimidation on the democratic side as on the other. (hear, hear.) IV( re 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 a moral 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 there 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 year; and at this moment the secret ballot did not exist in America. He believed that among a lace 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 al home, could aety one say, even if after a few years' ex• perience the ballot had proved successful in Aus• The conditions of the contract and a form of the tender may I 2 , e seen at th e sa id office.

Lord LYNDHURST called the attention of the noble and learned lord on the woclsack to the arrears of business in the Divorce Court. He said that • was not owing to any incapacity on the part of the learned judge who presided, but was occasioned chiefly by the very limited time the common law judges could de vote to the formation of full courts. The•attcnde-ice of the common law judges was, as the act of Parliament now stood, absolutely necessaiz before any final judg ment dissolving marriage cm , 'd be pronounced. He thought it was highly desirable that some alteration should be made enabling the Judge Ordinary to pronounce final judgments, unless he wished certain cases reserved for • the consideration of the full court.

The Earl of CARNARVON wished to recall, for a few minutes, the recent discussion that had taken place in that house on Friday. Ho 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 under some mistake with respect to what the noble lord the Secretary of Foreign Affairs had stated with respect to M. Thouvenel's despatch. The noble lord did not say he would lay it on the table with his answer at the earliest opportunity. What the noble lord did say was that as soon as he was enabled to frame an answer, arid her Majesty had signified her approval of it, then it with the despatch would be laid on the table of the house. 144 pages, 70 Engravings, post free 2 stamps.

" 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 we can moat 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.

BURROWS and Co. are not disposed to comment upon the purity of their wines, which is daily most laudably acknow ledged by the public and eminent medical men of all coun tries, as the increasing patronage of the highest families in the land is a sufficient guarantee. They beg to call particular attention to their pure Tonic Wines, as being so valuable to Invalids and persons of weak stomachs. A sample case, containing three full-sized wine bottles, will be forwarded to any address on receipt of P. 0.0. for 6s. 6d., or a dozen for 245. It is a well-known fact that impure and adulterated wines are the greatest foes to health, producing acidity in the stomach, and debilitating* the digestive organs, while pure wines will accelerate the digestive powers, invigorating, strengthening, and bracing the nervous system. Their Tonic Wine is admitted to be most essential to in valids, both old and young, and should never be absent from the homes of the weak and sickly. Its properties are duly acknowledged and appreciated by the leading men of the faculty, both at home and abroad. To prevent imposition each bottle is sealed with the name of the firm.

Lord TEYNHAM, having presented a number of peti tions from Doitwich, Maid ston Bath, Chi - .:hyster, Corn wall, Newport, Isle of Wight, Norwich, Chatham, the Northern Reform Union, &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 serve in Parliament that the votes of the electors should be taken by secret ballot. The noble lord said, in moving the resolution he felt that the subject was well worthy of the most attentive consideration of their lordships, 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 many of the opponents of the ballet 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 character, affecting the happiness of large masses of our fellow-creatures, both in this world and the world to come ; all the endeavours of 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 ballot had been 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 ing, till at length the minority had become very large. Now, in what condition did the question come before their lord ships ? There was 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 remits, as it sapped the very foundation of all moral feeling. Under such circumstances it behoved their lordships to take the question of the ballot into their most serious considera- tion, for the purpose of ascertaining whether it might not be made the means of putting a stop to those scenes of bribery and demoralisation 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 countr y, 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 way 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 the 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 were often 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. That had not been unfrequently the case in other places. The bearing of this question on individual liberty was very 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 end 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 indicatei ? On what grounds had they a right to expect that if they got a secret ballet they world 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 the 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 The irst general meeting of this company was held yesterday at the London Tavern—Mr. S. C. Marshman 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,which h a dtlie e to em a p n a n n y o u hadnc e b t e h e a n t f t e h r undertakinged had bebeen e for m - 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 had been established at Alexandria. The line from Constantinople to Alexandria had 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 in 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 Alexandria was only 350 miles, and when that was completed they could telegraph the entire distance to India. After some observations from Dr. BEATTIE, the report was adopted.

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 inqu're 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 fornd that in one borough in Hampshire the elections were taken by ballot in the time of William 111. with the best possible results to P l l 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 I , ;m 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 was 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 some other, and wits those Vi6IVII he be,sged to moire that tralia, that it would be safe to try it heie ? He knew no t whether the noble lord wished the ballot to be optional or compulsory. If it were made compulsory, the principle mist 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 that no law had yet reached intimidation. :But was it not much less rife than it was 30 years ago ? And why ? The noble lord said the 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 other 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 Duke of Newcastle) be lieved that he should be best consulting the feeling of their lordships' house by not prolonging his observations on this subject, particularly as during the many years he had sat in the House of Commons he had heard the question so 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 must be already so well known to them. He would say, however, thus much—that he considered personal responsi- bility to be one of the greatest features 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 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 he should be made responsible for it, by being submitted 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 itself, and taking one 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 thins 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 the house, 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, he be lieved one of the noble lords who acted as teller, and two who voted, were cut 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 MALMESBtßYconlirni s ed 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 of the house when the question was put. Lord BELPER explained that Lord Llanover and him self, the two other 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 ho 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 Non-contents 39-35 The resolution was consequently lost.

Lord CASTLEROSSE brought up the reply of her most gracious Majesty to the Address presented on Satur day on the subject of the French commercial treaty, in ac- Mr. KINGLAKE moved the adjournment of thri house, in order to enable him to ask the noble lord som e questions in reference to an important subject which he he .d formerly brought before the house. He never rose to ail dress the house with greater pleasure than he 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 Municipal Council of Nice had ag reed to an annexation to Sardinia, and repudiated any ann. axe tion to France. (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 canton had also passed a vote of thanks to two members of this house—namely, the member for Horsham and the hon. Bart. the member for Tanvworth. (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 de sire to appeal to the great Powers of Europe in reference to this subject, and whether they would delay their final answer to M. 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. SPOONED, 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 somas 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 BILL. 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 - plieity 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, bat rather imperfection and ineom potency. What is the end proposed by the bill ? The end is the amendment of the 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 tlis land we tread and masses of bricks and mortar, I do not see any othor 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 mediawal 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-distribation 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,nnd 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 out 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 aro its principal feature. The materials from which it draws its franchise aro 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 eon 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 ho laid down the principle upon which he was act ing. On another occasion I laid down on the part of may colleagues the principle en which we had acted in reeon 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 making my propositions I had not considered t 3 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 not the principle on which her Majesty's Ministers had acted in this measere. 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 tire different me• thods proposed. The noble lord said that if he had taken a rating of £P, for example, he would only have got so many—load it been £S, it would have been more, but not enough ; and he had therefore fixed the rating at a par ticular figure in the boroughs, which would give 250,000 additional votes, and he thouglit that was enough, and did not think the house would be of opinion that it A-as too much. I say that in proposing to confer the franchise on those who do not possess it, we should look to their fitness, and should not be considering whether we could obtain a certain number of men, and ask for the support of Parlia • meat because the number was one which may not alarm us. If instead of 257,000 men there had been 557,000 to nrnsand they were, in the opinion of the house, entitled the fran chise, the franchise ought to be gran t e d them. (Hear.) But - what is this addition which the no ble lord is the ab noble lord about tomak e to the borough franchise ? Thefigures of f boroughs of are these :—the present constit u ency of the oroughs of England in round numbers may be placed at 440,000, in cluding the freemen, and he m akes a proposition by w hi c h they shall be increased to 6,75,000.

HERBERT said the subject was under consi- find that in six boroughs, and some of the most importiint deratieit. in the country, the constituency is trebled ; that in 28 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 are - 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 ? Are they a class incapable of organisation f 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 say that of the middle classes. With the exception of the Anti-Corn -law League, I cannot recal 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 ; Corn-law League, have not within my memory ever con 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 predeminanoe. 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 i 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 fran 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 t 1 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 are the 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 !lave education—they have a sense of responsibility—and they perform their public duties with regularity and integ rity ; and therefore it is inconsistent to give votes to the oo 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 trust of which they are worthy, simply because you call it a fancy franchise. (Hear, hear.) It is not a fancy franchise, but it will be a real franchise, and in many cases will be more 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 f o r in direct taxation. That is a subject of the utmost importan ce. for No doubt the skilful and limited substitution of some y ears, indirect taxation, which has been going is highly advantageous to this country Prudence and caution, which, if not pursued with gr ea t'tr p o ni f this country who would make the Finance Minist e r e land. It is a process proposed it the Necker o f o b n u t r t i s so a system y g this country, and at a not only to confer fraught mnment w w i h th en g y ra n v n e aren pay direct taxes, I hardly know the franchise but probabloywtoP consequencesr ° co P nf s e gr r n a predominating power h could be m ore . properly that which is based on the pay mentaunpyon g a n c a l l as ifi s ea w t h ie o n do w n thh o iean t recom mended to the house t taxes . (Hear, hear.) But are we to be of direct answered, when such momentous consequences may de pend upon the cl ass enfranchised u p o n that basis, that it is a mere f anc y 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 thia,l must press on the a ttention of the house -- a body of not more than ;88,000.' In half the boroughs ' of England the mew oonititneiney of one body would be able in all probability to command the seats, and thus you are changing the depository of. power to a very [Continued is our fourth page.] ~f~
