(From the Times.) The " Parliamentary Representation Bill," as what was to be the great measure of the session is mildly and judi ciously styled, now lies before us, together with the "Corrupt Practices at Elections Bill," by which the Minister proposes to saddle on future Parliaments the odious work of disfran chisement. The former of these measures is that which most presses for attention, and the part of it to which all eyes will turn, and which indeed is the only point now Possessing any novelty, is Schedule B, being a list of the borough s to b e enlarged, and the towns to be added to them, with their boundaries and "temporary contents." At the risk of being quoted by some watchful contemporary as expressing a warm opinion in favour of this schedule, we must confess, in the openness and warmth of our hearts, that we have not seen for many a day so pretty and suggestive a topographical catalogue, Under any circumstances one might marvel how so many places endeared to early associations, and cherished for any reason rather than their polit , cal character, have found their way into a Bill before Parliament. But that marvel becomes utter amaze ment when we are told that the sweet rural localities here reluctantly dragged into light are the destined refuge and balance of this mighty empire. The Commons esLhth Lord Jo h n ; I n : r e t s t e t iru y rac well l ,‘ tackled" the Lords—the subject sug gests a rustic phraseology —and having become themselves too equally divided between the interests of cotton and:of land, proposesilm,isastcok, hisses a tht i i s o e wi up mnps .e a r iL s n -a imk s balancingt emNasu i n__ca, a a n rn : and s r bitrat iag power out of the very bosom of English society in the rural legislators is to arrive from the breezy dawns and e sunny coasts of leil an t sa h s Salisbury plain, from the Vale of the White-horse, from streamlet and ttt f il o eeo t u t fihtaeowbusuopr:oo) of distress, sportsman d a nt ; dlisdeeuoc of kings o epksoit inetgrt known eisediman .hr islandsao t , rather or woodland glades, where they tended sheep or watched cakes on the hearth till their time came and they once more appeared at the head of their armies.

The rural virtues, which Gold smith despairingly beheld on the strand preparing to take leave of their country, have now every chanee of being in vited back and installed in greater dignity than ever. • Let us linger awhile on the many pleasing scenes recalled by this fairest of schedules. A Homer alone could find the epithets that mark best their peculiar attractions. There is Wantage, nestled on the slope of the huge downs, the birth place of King Alfred and Bishop Butler; there are Newport Pagnell and Stony Stratford, that we have so often changed horses at in the days of " the road ;" Maidenhead and Amer.. sham represent the "silver winding" Thames; Penzance carries us to the Land's End; the fishing port of Brixharn and the beautiful church of Ottery St. Mary contribute their placessever we al a h tt a r v ac e t s io i n dzn s o to uth th an is d p l ay e o r r l g e u ssce , m ß p o an g i or ; , f an or d w Harr aterin o t t gate, with others. of less note; for respectful quietness we have Blandford and Wimborne Minster, in Dorset; Coggle shall, Halsted, and Manningtree, in Essex, and scores of other places too modest to be named. There is the bold promontory of Swanage ; there are Fairford and Lechlade, once the sole seat of Latin literature in this island; the bloody field of Tewkesbury is now to be invigorated with Upton upon-Severn; Basingstoke, with its picturesque little ruin. and its coach-deserted streets, Stockbridge with its trout stream, and Whitchurch, which has lost its sole remaining importance as the place where Oxford students took the Exeter coaches, are now set down to a rubber with Ando ver; the New Forest contributes Ringwood and Lyndhurst, w a and d h A a l v t o e n s i o t s : r f t u e r n a l h c e h a r a r d m o s f t ß he li r i e se is Y St it . s lv iC es o , r ss m- h a o n se a b b r l icl e g y e taken an t and passing dosißnrganovernpanlacd sw esw a e ffh h a a m ve , t so Oundle scarcely heard Chippingof,eare Norton, to Witney, where they did once make blankets, and to the venerable names of Bishop's Castle, Church Stratton, and Cleobury Mortimer. The famous ruins of Glastonbury, Burton-on-the-Trent, the beautful park of Petworth, Heytes bury, under the spurs of the Plain, and Warminster, ap proached by the woods of Longleat, are the next most notice able, among other, perhaps, more beautiful places; the quiet village of Amesbury presents itself with Stonehenge and Vespasian: camp; and after a trip through the less frequented regions of Yorkshire, we finish with Harrogate, Pateley-bridge, and Ripley. Such are the most renowned of the parishes and townships whose delegated wisdom is to balance the Legislature that balances the world. How much do we owe, after all, to the early training of our states men ! How deep the love of pastoral life even in our hard old Reformers! Poor Falstaff " babbled o' green fields" after a life of debauch ; and after thirty years passed between bebates and office work Lord John still melts with rural re collections. But is it a constitution or an eclogue he has given us? Is it a text for lawyers, or a subject for an illus trated volume? Publish the Bill with cuts from drawings by Turner and Stanfield, and it will infallibly pass. Should the continent be closed, or should the railways want a sub stitute for the Great Exhibition, they cannot do better than advertise " summer excursions through Schedule B." At all events we shall have it in a moving diorama. 'So re solved is Lord John Russell to omit no means of enriching the sentiment of his scheme, that he has revived for its sake a considerable number of the bo roughs, now, alas! no more. In the list before us we once more see the faces of our old friends, Amersham, Camelford, East Looe, Okehampton, Saltash, Stockbridge, Whitchurch, Heytesbury, Downton, Aldborough, and Boroughbridge. After a trance of twenty years they com e again to the light of day, at the spell of the same tsizard who had consigned them, as we thought, to Parliatnentszy oblivion. As the object is to trim the constitution and to preserve for ever that p ar ti eu l arf adjustment of interest% it is stir happiness to enjoy at this moment, perhaps it is Scarcely ad missible to inquire into the numerical or commercial import ance of these places. If a jacket will stop a leak, we do not quarrel with the comparative slightness or apparent in congruity of the instrument to which we owe our lives. A very slight prop will sometimes save a heavy structure, though it certainly is found now and then, as at Brigh ton Pavillion the other day, that a slight prop may answer for fair weather but not for foul. The hundred or more townships and parishes —many of them are not even mar ket towns that are to keep our House of Commons in the existing statu quo, bear about the same proportion to that giant as the Lilliputians that held Gulliver to the ground; bat if they answer their purpose, what more need we require? It is true that we may conceive a few sources of discontent to those who will nut recognise in the end a glorification of the means. There are people we fear, who, us they run their eyes down the third column in this sche dule, will ask why Stony Stratford or Little Hampton is to 'be enfranchised, and not some overgrown busy town in the north, as if we had not the most ancient precedents for giv ing political power to the bramble, and leaving the oak, the olive, and the vine to their own more useful employments. I 'I here are people who will ask why these sixty-seven bo roughs, of which twenty-nine return one Member, and the rest two, are to be treated by the same rule, and both classes augmented to the same electoral magnitude. We already hear it alleged that the stream of enfranchisement has been directed by some cun ning hand which knows well what town to include in the favoured bound, and what to leave in the wide waste of the county constituency. As every complaint that can possibly be made is sure to reach us in time, we forbear for the present. All we have now to do is to thank Lord John Russell for taking us a trip of no small interest thrdugh some of the most lovely portions of the land we live in. Nothing can exceed the relief it has afforded us after the vast statistics and the dull utilities with which political questions are now-a-days so generally incuntered. We have only one thing to suggest, and we really think the plan would harmonize wonderfully with the conceptions of this measure—it is that the Legislature should discuss it in som e of c the ve o ry ur s t c s e h n a e v s e h b er e e en en h u el m d e a ra t ted, or others Winchester,Oldeq sualarulymh,isatnod rwe believe, at Wantage ; Councils have been held at Claren don, and the fate of empire has been decided in other places sesuorert.sboluVihdatbemopraesasepdprienprioantee tohfanthtehavtertyheropureen _ t oef o u r s o tm u am g l h le s ar which it recals to life?
