THE CRYSTAL PALACE. The Duke of Attune (in continuation from our After noon E lition of yeaterday)said that the unlimited success the Exhibition, and the reasons urged by the highest of authorities as tio the advantage that would accrue if the bbilding was retained as a winter garden and as a museum for works of science and art, had now satisfied him that hie former doubts were unfounded, and that it would be to the interest of the people to have it main tained on its present site.—(Cheers.) Mr. WAKEIT, M.P., seconded the resolution, and de elated that among the 900,000 of the people of West Middlesex, with which he was more immediately con nected, he had not found one sane person who was of opinion that the beautiful and splendid structure should he destroyed.—(Cheers.) It was a most preposterous 'lea that a building which had produced the admiration cl the whole world should be pulled down, and for the ratification of whom? The Earl of kiarrowby said the oKieetion to retaining the Crystal Palace was an old woman's bugbear ; now, he thought it was rather an old man's bugbear, and that it was most unjust to stigmatise the judgment and to calumniate the good taste of the old women of Londoo.—(Laughter and cheers.) It was said the Crystal Palace was allowed to be erected in Hyde-park an the understanding that it should be removed when its purpose was satisfied; bat the fact was that John Ball had meth) a contract with himself, and he had a right to rescind it if he felt so disposed.—(Hear, hear.) It was absolutely sickening and nauseating to hear persons talk of breaches of faith as if no such breaches were committed in another place, which had been described as a pawnbrokers' shop full of unredeemed pledges. He suggested that the Noble Earl in the chair should call an open air meeting of the industrious classes of the metropolis and ask them to pass a resolution pledging themselves not to lay a hand on the building unless by the direct command of the Qeten.—(Great cheering, the whole meeting rising and waving hats and handkerchiefs.) He had no doubt the Noble Earl would comply with their request.—(Continued cheers, the Berl of Shaftesbury shaking his head in intimation of his doubt of the propriety of such a course.) He thought this unanimous expression of opinion was a proof that they would not fail in the object they all had in view.—(Cheer".) The resolution was then put and carried. The Rev. Dr. CUMMING proposed that the committee be requested to arrange that a deputation, as influen tially constituted as possible, do wait upon the Earl of Derby, and press for the Government assent to a Com mittee of Inquiry. The motion was seconded by Mr. Pumatx, and passed nem. eon. M r . J. HEYWOOD, M.P., moved that the committee be authorized to prepare a memorial (an behalf of the meet ing to the Queen for the preservation of the Crystal Palace, and that it be signed by the Earl of Shaftes• bury, as chairman, and be presented by him to the Queen.—(Cheers.) The motion 7929 seconded b7onel SYKES and eat . Co' rift' by acclamation.

And even although Socialism were identified with pauperism, what worse mischief to Socialism could we wish than that it should be subject to such a degradation, and be hence despised by every self-respecting workman? The re productive employment of pauper labour, which we have long advocated, is now engaging the attention of the clergy and others, of all reli,c,fious denominations, at Manchester, where steps are being taken to induce such a change in the poor-kw or its administration as to employ paupers on remunerative labour,—Builder. WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 2B, 1852 minute went the length of saying that no person being i a dealer in coffee, or other articles which are specified, should have on his premises any article capable of being mixed up with coffee, nod if he were to have any such article, even for the purpose of a legitimate mixture, he would be subject to a very heavy uenalty. Now I can not help thinking that a medium course might be adopted in this case, and that some check might be put on the unfair mixture of chicory with coffee without in terfering with that mixture which might be desired by the purchaser, and might be perfectly legitimate, al though it might undoubtedly have a tendency to dimi nish the revenue. That to which I think the attention of Parliament and of the Government ought to be di rected is cot the boni fide admixture or sale of avowedly mixed articles, thereby doing an injustice to the fair trader, imposing on the defenceless purchaser, and prac tising a fraud on the community at large. Enter taining these opinions, I am quite ready to say that although there may he difficulties in the ac tual rescinding of this Treasury minute, yet I do think it is a subject which calls for the atten tion of the Government; and their attention will be given to the beat mode of restoring a due supervision in the case, not for the purpose of preventing that which may be permitted—namely, the admixture of a harmless material with coffee, but for the purpose of supporting a law which was intended to prevent the fraudulent ad mixture of a spurious article with coffee, and thereby protecting the humbler class of consumers, and, I hope, affording some advantage to the fair dealer, and also to the colonial producers from whom these petitions have proceeded.—(Llear, hear.) The petitions were then ordered to lie on the table. PETITIONS.

Lord TORRINGTON rose to present a peti tion, complaining of the operation of the Treasury minute of August, 1840, with respect to the sale of coffee mixed with chicory. The Noble Lord said the subject was locked upon with great interest by the coffee merchants, and he hoped that the answer which would be given to-night would in a great measure allay their anxiety. All that the petitioners desired was that instead cf the Treasury minute of 1840, now complained of, the regulation of the trade might be, with some slight alteration, that of 1832, when chicory was permitted to be sold separately by grocers as chicory, but notices were ieeued at the same time that the legal penalties would be rigidly enforced if discovered mixed with coffee. In 1840 it appeared that in consequence of memorials from the grocers and dealers in chicory, and also from the cireumstance of exceeding high rates then ruling for coffee, together with the disruption of our commercial relations with China advancing the price of tea, an order was issued from the Treasury to the Excise Board, authorising the admixture of chicory with coffee, a duty being maintained on the former of 201. per ton on the kiln-dried, and 6d. per lb. on the powdered root, when imported from abroad. The petitioners did not seek to destroy the consumption of chicory, or to impose any additional duty on it, their chief object was to get rid of the demoralising effects of the present system, by which the Imperial Government sanctioned the selling of a spurious; article for the true one, making honesty in the retailer almost impossible. The peti ticners feared that the industrious classes, now the chief consumers of coffee in England, would cease to use it, finding that it: underwent daily deterioration, and thus would be lost the best part of the English market and to the English mechanic and labourer a pleasant, wholesome, and invigorating beverage. If this were the case it was to be feared that the consumption of ardent spirits would be increased. The Noble Eerl concluded his speech by calling their Lotiships' atttntion to a m emorial l ying on the t a bl e from the inhabitants of Ceylon to the Right Hon. th e S ecretar y o f State for the Colonies, re 'stove to th e adulteration of coffee with c hi c or y. The Duke o f MONTROSE supported the prayer of the petition jest, presented, having a s imilar p etiti on to present hitneelf from certain merchants and planters, as also from a l arge num b er of the gaceral inhabitants of Ceylon They stated that the co lon y was labourin g under very grea t depression in consequence of the amount of finals invested in the growth of coffee , as well as the great reduction that had taken place in the price of that article, as also in the duty previously charged upon it. Gradually since 1847 the revenue had decreased en the article of coffee; adulteration remained and the complaints c mtineed as strong as ever. But the question did not alone confine itself to the adulteration of coffee ; for the grocers and traders complained that even chicory itself was largely adulterated; and he, therefore, should contend that, under the circumstances, the existence of the Treasury minute was injurious to the revenue.—( Henn hear.) The Earl of DERBY said--I am not disposed to underrate the importance of the subject which has just been brought under cur notice, either as bearing on th e revenue, er on the case of the fair trader, or on the interests of the colonial planters and merchants; or, above all, as bearing on the interests of the poorer classes of the community who are consumers of coffee, and who while they aro parties least able to protect themselves are those who have the strongest claims to the favourable consideration of your Lord- Alps. I can by no riVar 4 B accede to the position laid down by the late Chancellor of the Exchequer in another place, in a former session of Parliament, that the doctrine of caveat emptor is applicable to all these cases, and that so long as the revenue does not suffer it forms no part of the duty of the Government to guard any portion of the public against fraudulent dealers, or from any impseition against which they ought to protect there eves. I do not at all adopt that doctrine. I think, on the contrary, it is the duty of the Government, with regard to this as with regard to other articles, to do all that in them liee to protect the public from fraud, white they do not at the same time interfere with the mixture of articles which are not in themselves delete rious, if the public should think fit to use them. With regard to chicory, I believe there is no allegation on the part of anyone that it is an article injurious to health. Many persons contend that it improves the flavour of coffee. Many persons prefer coffee mixed with chicory, and if they do so there can be no reason why they should not drink the untaxed beverage, rather than the taxed one. I have always thought, however, that the Act to which the Noble Viscount had referred, the Act of the 43d George 111., c. 129, was an Act which went a tvieryltn way in the direction whi c h it took, because, as appears to me, it not only prohibited any fraudulent mixtures, but it prohibited under any circumstances any mixture whatever, and more with a view, I think, to revenue than to any other consideration. It pro hibited the avowed use of articles not purporting to be coffee, but mere substitutes for coffee. My Noble Friend E th t e rl o o ffi f cheiopf", we believe), who many Chancellor of the Exchequer, that that A c t was introduced ma i n l y f or massyt be opposi te a r p : a r e r e gic:oo (the heldi ee r ecollect meeting what was in great vogue at that time—tee late Mr. Hunt's roasted corn—which never pretended to be coffee. It was chiefly, therefore, I be lieve, with regard to the revenue that the Act was in troduced. I think the Noble Viscount was hardly quite correct in his statement of the progress of the consume othfa da t e I tion of chicory , or of the extent to which he referred the y e arthe consumption, so far from 1846 diminishing , diminution in the consumption of coffee to the operation of the year 1840, because from ye':icr seers t hadotrilYe mrlarut a good deal increased. It amounted to the year 1842, and in the fol lowingased to 32,000,0001b5. and 1846 it was 36,000,0001b5., rie , ne O ar oo,ooolbs. After that time it a 2 3l B 4d: t o io oi 00:0010(8y,00:117abbrs2.1: t l i ni iy h ta i; je k n3 , y(t7 declined to 34,000,0001b5. and 32 000,0001 be., and in the year 1850 it was only 31,0 00,0001b5. But there was an according to the latest the sth of April, 1851, accounts,it increase c t r h e e aa s e t, isi of f the p April,yearpeappears a18 1 t5 8 h2 5 4, 0 t ; f therefrom was a very large increase d which was principally to be 4d. to 3d. on Colonial coffee. The effect of CO doubt, to the diminution in the duty last y ea r— b%c i ien d ds im uca in P n t t i° j: ° t t r . from 6d. to 3d. en foreign coffee, a duty has been an increase in the con sumptioncensiderable extent, the consumption that n d f r r du from o i an veryo t last year having umounted to 34,500,0001b5.• and not less than 1,200,0001b3. of that increase took place in co lental co ffee. It is undoubtedly true, however, that with the amount of coffse consumed, there is a large admix ture of chicory and of other substances. The Noble Viscount stated the admixture of chicory at the enor mous amount of 12,000 tons; that the total amount of but from the accounts I have see n, it would aptie ar c hicory consumedin this country i s 10,000 tons; and of these about 9,000 tons are used in the adulteration of coffee. But these 9 000 tons are raw produce, and in d the processes of kiln - drying, roasting, and grinding, are reduced to about 1,520 tons. I believe that according to the best estimate which can be formed that is the amount of cheery which is mixed with coffee. The total quan tity of the articles mixed with coffee, of which about two-thirds are Composed of chicory and ono-third is com posed of other substances, such as beans, roasted corn, some more, some less deleterious—the total quantity of the articles mixed with coffee is about 5,400,0001b5., or about, 22,000 or 23,000 tons; and the loss to the revenue by that adulteration, supposing that coffee to the amount of the other articles employed would be consum ed, is about 60,0001. a year. But y ou mus t not suppose that if tha t adulteration could b e a l toge ther pro hibited the consump tion of coffee would r i se to a compensati n g amount. Nor ought you to co nc l u d e t h at you could altogether do away with the adulteration or admixture of chicory with coffee; because chicory, being an article perfectly whole some, there is no reason why the consumer should not have chicory mixed with his coffee if he should think fit. But the point on which I do certainly concur with the Noble Viscount opposite, and with my Noble Friend the Noble Duke behind me, is, that there is no justifies don for a state of things which admits of a fraud on the consumer, and of an admixture of coffee with chicory, which enables the dealer to defraud the revenue by the introduction of an inferior material, and at the same time to defraud the consumer by furnishing him with a spurious instead of a genuine article, and charging him, nevertheless, the price at which he might pur chase, at all events, an :inferior sample of the genuine article. I fun told that the process of adulteration has gone on to so great an extent that you are not secure against it even by that means, which might be generally considered to afford a perfect security —namely, buy ing the coffee in the bean; for there are actually imi tations of the coffee bean; so that although you may buy the bean, y ou ma y grind for yourself s p ur i ous coffee with th e moat p er f e ct confidence of it s b e i ng a genuine article. B u t this security, such as is, is a se curity which is confined to the classes which purchase in large quantities, and are in more easy circumstances. The poor man, who buys his pound or half pound, or quarter pound of coffee, must boy it ground, and must be at the mercy of the retail dealers as to the article which he purchases. I think this is a question which deserves the consideration of the Treasury, and I do not pretend to justify the minute of the year 1840. It never appeared to me to be capable of being justified, because, for an object not I think in itself very desirable, it un dertook to set aside the special and stringent provisions of an Act o f P ar li amen t. Th e introductio n of that minute was not in itself certainly a violation of the but it was a great stre t c h o f the powers of those to whom execution of the law was e ntrusted; and think the subject is one worthy of the consideration of Go vernment. From what I can learn, I am not sure that the mere rescinding of the Treasury minute of the year 1840 would not go somewhat far therbecause the law superseded or suspolded h— e that than your Lordships or the country would desire; THE ARMY.

Mr. Secretary WALPOLE said, the Queen's Ad vocate having paid great attention to the subject, had, at length, submitted a Billl to the consideration of the Home-office with reference to the reform of these courts, but whether the Government could undertake to adopt this or any other measure, it was quite impossible for him to say at the present moment, as the subject was of a complicated nature, and required long and careful con sideration.—(Hear, hear.) THE REV. MR. BENNETT. Col. BOYLE, in pursuance of a notice which he gave yesterday, wished to put a question to the Right Hon. the Chancellor of the Exchequer, on the subject of the recent appointment to the vicarage of Frorne. He found in Barnstaple's " Roman Catholic Register " an entry to the effect, that on a certain day the Rev. Mr. Bennett was received into the Roman Catholic Church, and the question he wished to put was whether the Right Hon. Gentleman was prepared to state to the House what steps Government had taken i lor prosecuting a searching inquiry into this matter.-"(ear. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said her Majesty's Government had lost no time in addressing certain inquiries with respect to the law affecting this case to the Crown Officers, and the replies of those had . re I t ched i h i im only Learned Gentlemen at should e p t e r e . within the last like, certainly, .7few.dermitnhuoeses. e he spoke more in dotal evyould only i s ; sent that the subject engaged the earnest attenti on o f Government.—( wished to know whether w Mr. HORSMAN Hear.) _ it u as true e e fisl c lergymen made the cert ifi cate to that three bene which he referred the other night, and whether the Bishop of Lond on 9.Oo untersigned t?—(Hear.) The CHANC ELL of th© EXCHEQUER sa i d the It h House would perceive that a bond fide inquiry was being pursued by the Government, and therefore infor mat i on in detail could not be satisfactorily given until it was ) brought to a clese.—(Hear, hear. THE , D UNDALK DE NIOCR AT." Mr. CAMPBELL wished to ask the A ttorney-General for Ireland if he wa toe prepared t o state the reasons w hi c h had induced 's Government to abandon the prosecution instituted against the editor and p u bli s h er of tbe Dundalk Democrat? NAPIER said when he came into office he found t h e indictment which had been preferr e d a t th e tha,et es had been removed into th e C ourt of Queen ' s assiz Bench in Dublin, and ho and his Learned Colleague the Solicitor-General were consulted as to the course which ought to be taken in reference to it. Now he and his Learned Colleague wer e of opinion, that before any prosecution of the public upon the part of the Government should be en tered upon, there should be clear grounds for it, as well as a case of urgent necessity; but he found that in this case the publication complained of had been published a s far back as the month of November, and although the publication was very bad, two whole terms were allowed to intervene before any notice was taken of it. Under those circumstances, and considering the case could not have been tried till July next, which would have ren dered the whole matter stale, it had been thought advis able to forego the prosecution, and a letter had been written to the editor accordingly, with an intimation that it was hoped that the paper would be hereafter con ducted in such a manner as to render the interference of the Attorney-General wholly unnecessary.—(Hear.) Mr. HATCHELL explained that the reason of the delay bad been that the publication did not come to his knowledge till some time after its appearance; and as a very aggravated murder had been committed in the dis trict where it had been published, the late Government thought that some notice ought to be taken of it. It was also felt that the more constitutional mode of pro ceeding was by an indictment at the assizes and not by an ex officio information.—(Hear, hear.) ELECTIVE FRANCHISE. Mr. L. KING then rose to ask for leave to bring in a Bill to make the franchise and the procedure at elections in the counties in England and Wales the same as in the boroughs, by giving the right of voting to all occupiers of tenements of the annual value of ten pounds; by limit ing the tim e o f t a ki ng t h e po ll to one day; and by limit ing the time of p rocee di ng t o elections to eight days. t brought in Honourable M e mb e r observed that when be rot not ugh in his Bill la s t ye a r, many Members voted against the i because they objected to its principle , but solely to on ground that Lord John Russell had promised intro duce a measure of reform early i n the present his Bill The Noble Lord had fulfilled h is promise, Therefore no plan of reform had fallen to the ground. was at present before TthheereHouse. He rejoiced wa fettered by the that ho was not in He regretted that the Noble promise of one. Lord made a promise; and the more so, that the plan he proposed was so ego m e r a e t t e t different r t o ot s h e a . t which he r he p l ate d when he mad e the promise cours e the Noble Lord took had led to a divi d that t n he tbo Liberal party. and allowed the governme n t c:sen in country to pass into the hands of the party of which he was so much afraid. The principle of the Bill he now proposed had been often discussed, but no one had ever reutured to assail the class of persons whom it proposed to enfranchise. The Noble Lord (Lord J. Russell) did not object to this pro posed extension of the franchise to occupiers in counties, though it was true that in his Reform Bill he did net go the length of a 101. qualification, but he introduced the 20/. qualification, no doubt with the view of ultimately re ducing it. The Right Ron. Gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer himself said he was not opposed to the extension of the c tinty franchise, which ho claimed as the invention of the party of whom he was the distinguished ornament, but some how or other he voted against the proposition. Tho Hon. Member then gave some statistical reasons for the Bill, and ex pressed a hope that Honourable Members opposite would not object to the extension o f a prin ciple which they claim to have introduced, and which if carried out would enfranchise a large class of the people who were at present deprived of a vote. It was I a singular eircunutanoo that whilst the population as well as the intelligence nud comforts of the people had increased—whilst science and skill had ad vancel, labour been augmented, and crime and poverty diminished-- the number of electors in counties had greatly diminished. Formerly the repre sentation was on a much more democratic basis, nod he hoped that those who were so wedded to the customs of the past ages would not hesitate to pLice the franchise on its original basis. Ucjt.l3t; dis tinctions ought not to be made in different districts, and between one chisa of persons and another. Ile trusted, in conclusion, that the hirr,e and influential body of the people whom he intended by the Bill to en franchise, would not be relused their most reasonable and just rights. Mr. CAMPBELL deprecated proceeding with a Bill of this nature in the present session, on the ground that while there was no chance of its ever parsing u third reed ieg, it would give rise to party animosities in the House. Considering Chet sufficient iequity lied not even insti tuted prior to the proposal before the House being brought forward, he should give his vote in opposition. Mr HUME, amid loud cries of " Divide," rose end said—That the silence on the Government benches was very ominous indeed. The electors of counties under the existing system were slaves instead of freemen, and the time would come when a change was imperatively called for.—(Hear.) The Noble Lord the elember for the city or London had already expressly himself in favour of the extension of the franchise, and he should he glad to know if this motion would have the benefit of his vote.—(ticar, beer.) Those who were knochicg at the door to get into the Constitution ought to be admitted at once, for the people were not se fairly represented as to hare a fir voice in thm House; and he called upon the Government to say aye or no to this motion, then the ceuntry would know what they had to expect. —(Hear, hear.) E they were determined to resist all retorne, let the public know it ; and he really did hope that the House would insist upon having a declaration from Ministers upon this subject.—(Hear, hear.) Lord J. MANNERS said the Government had no difficulty whatever in saving no to this motioo, and as the Opposition wanted an immediate dissolution ho r ould advise them to abstain from bringing forward motions of this character.—(llear, hear.) If this motion were carried it would have the effect of revolutionising the county franchise.—(Hear, hear.) What did the motion propose ? Why, to assimilate the county franchise with that of boroughs; but though there were two ways of accomplishing that assimilation the Government thought the existing franchise had worked well, and had fulfilled the intention of the Reform Bill, which was to take care that the owners and occupiers of land should be fairly represented.—(Hear, hear.) The county franchise had produced less controversy and lees corruption than the franchise which prevailed in bo roughs, and if an assimilation were necessary, why should they not change the borough to the, county sys tem?—(On, oh.) No doubt there were defects in the present county system; but on the whole it had worked well, and he hoped the Home would not allow the busi ness of the country to be obstructed by motions of this sort, which ought to b 3 left for the consideration of a new Parliament.—(Hear, hear.) Lord ROBERT GROSVENOR said be agreed with mach that bed fallen from the Noble Lord. Perhaps this was not a fitting opportunity for introducing this motion, but there was one part of the present proposal, namely, the latter part of it, which was wholly unobjcetiew.ble, and he hoped the House would allow it to be introduced (Rear, hear.) He alluded to the part which proposed to shorten the duration of the pollieg at elections for counties; and when he remembered that a Bill bad been brought in to mulct county Mem bers of refreshments for the electors, at least the House ought to enable him to meet that expense by rendering a second day's poll unnecessary.— (elear, hear.) Ho was convinced that such a change would be beneficial to the country, for both rioting arid bribery generally took place on the second dey ; and he hoped the House would have no objection to act upon this part of the Bill.—(Hear, hear.) He considered that the time had come when there ought to he some equali mien of the constituencies of the country. Mr. H. DRUMMOND said that for twenty years ho had been endeavouring to extend the county franchise, and would not allow any opportunity to pass without continuing his efforts in the same direction. The Noble Lord the Member for Colchester had given a very valid objection to the introduction of the Bull, but it came too late, for the House had given its sanc tion to a principle which, if adopted, would heve the effect of filling the House with paupere,—(Hear, hear.) On a former occasion he showed that the recta of voting took its rise in ancient times in service rendered to the Crown, end he thought that the vote should be given to all persons who had at any time served under the Crown. — (Oh, oh, and Hear, hear.) A sneer at that proposition from the advocates of universal suffrage was ill-timed, He warned the Earl of Derby and hie colleg,nes nut to " pooh-pooh" the question, for by doing so they were only leaving it as a legacy to Lord John all` sell, who would avail himself of it on the first opportunity for the purpose of turning them out of their pleees,—(Hear.) Mr. BRIGHT protested against the argument of the Noble Lord the Member for Colchester, that in bring ing forward discussions of this nature they were obstructing the progress of public business, and delaying the dissolution of Parliament. He believed that no Govern ment business could have come on to-night, even suppos ing the motion of the Hon. Member for EAst Surrey had been withdrawn. The Noble Lord called this a hack neyed subject, but every great question which had been carried had been treated by Hun. Members opposite es hackneyed. He considered the question to be of im portance with refereed to the cowing general election, when the country would have to decide upon protection. He believed that the general feeling in favour of free trade, in boroughs of any population, was extending to county constituencies ; and he had heard that Hereford and Dorset were likely to elect free-trade candidates. If the constituencies of counties contained the same pro portion of population es boroughs did there would no longer be the discrepancy which existed in public opinion with regard to the question of protection. In the West Riding there were 30,000 voters in a population of 800,000, and so long es such an anomaly existed there would be peril to the Government, the constitution, aye, and to the very institutions of the country. The great constituencies were almost unanimous against the Mi litia Bill; and upon ccuatry gentlemen, who were first frighteeed at French corn, and then at French men, would rest the responsibility of the expense that militia would entail. He hailed the present motion as a step in the direction of that reform which the House had re solved to carry out. Mr. PACKE deprecated the discussion of topics which had no reference to the motion before the House. —(Hear, hear.) With regard to one portion of the proposal he thought that although one day's polling might be found sufficient in boroughs, and in cases where the voters were within a circle of seven miles, it would be inadequate for counties, to which voters some.- times had to be brought from all parts of the kingdom. Mr. WAKLEY asked, if purity was only to :be found in counties, why not give them the ballot? if people were not to have a vote, they certainly ought not to be forced to carry a musket. They were called upon to defend their country, but were yet denied the privileges of free men. Mr. BUCK said that, in anticipation of the present motion, he had caused inquiries to be made in the large district he represented, and had found that the proposed creation of 101. householders would entirely swamp the 4,000 freeholders. He therefore opposed the motion. Colonel SIBTHORP was anxious to extend the fran chise ss widely as was consistent with safety, and would rather give s'. franchise to many cities and boroughs than the 10/. to others. Speaking generally, ho objected to a 101. vote to a county, because it was likely to swamp many important boroughs which now enjoyed the franchise.—(Hear, hear.) Lord J. RUSSELL—Sir,. I cannot vote against the present proposition on the ground stated by the Noble Lord the Member for Colchester (Lord John Manners). If the Government were to say they wish for any parti cular Tuesday, in order to bring forward their measures, and thus secure an early dissolution of Parliament, I do not think any Member would interpose a motion on that day. As the Government, however, have not only not asked for Tuesdays, but seem reluctantly to teke the Thtir9days—(oh, oh)—I cannot say I see any objection to our now discussing a measure of public importance. Then, sir, with regard to the nature of the question itself, it appears to the to be a fair matter for consideration in this House what shall be the amount of the occupation franchise for counties as we have settled that for towns. The Reform Act contained a clause, introd: , c a e s d p b br y oyp L ots o ,h r d d e H S e is o Chandos, although it ma y ori g inally have been suggest e d uch by the Hon. and Ga llant Member for Lincoln, by w hi c h th e county franchise w as p ut at 501. It fixed I a - t 121. also that 81. should be the franchise f or Ireland, but t h a t proposal was afterwards objected to now w nd in the franchise l anc which In the hise w in troduced in the present year I prop ose d t f h e Lords,law n 50/, franchise to 201. in English to reduce the counties. appears to me consistent, not only withn les. So that it of different Hon. Members, brut with the propositions t measures sanc tioned by Parliament itself, that should discuss a measure professing to r e d uce the occupation we occupation franchise in counties within this country. But I own it appears to me, considering the vast importance of framing the re presentation arigbt, that Parliament should deal with counties and boroughs as a whol e , a nd not separately , and that these fr to t.in anchises should not be altered separate l y from time . And hero I may say that I cannot much from what I understand to be the opinion Of the Hon. and Learned Solicitor-General opposite (Sir F. I understand him to have said that he deems it to be of the utmost importance that the question of the commercial policy of the country should bo set tled, and that Parliament should not proceed to discuss measures for the reform of the represeutetion until this question had received the judgment which now awaits it. But I entirely differ Icons him in the statement that the country is no w in a state of ruin owing to those measures called free-trade measures, I also differ from the Right Hon. Gentleman the Secre tary for the Colonies in thinking that the colonies ar© ruined; and I differ from the Hon. Member for Scar borough (.`dr. G. F. Young) when he states that the .hippiw; iutvrest is in a stave of utter prostration. I believe, on the contrary, that many of these measures will be considered by the new Parliament and by the new House of Commons, with the approbation of th e coun try, to have collectively and individually tended to promote the prosperity of the country, and that Perlia ment will consider it a duty to meintain and extend those measures,—(Hear, hear, from the opposition.) I think it desirable that that great question saould receive a solution before we proceed seriously to consider the state of the representation. I was glad to hear from the Noble Lord the Member for Colchester, that the present Government would be ready to concur in any well-co n sidered measure of refor m i n t h e representation; but hope I did not rnisurirt:Titand him when ho Fppeared to me to say Unit this was a question very tinily open to the consideration of this or any other Parliament. When, ------- - howtver, we proned to scittle the great questi on of commercial policy, which it t. 3 so desirable should be set tied one wi.y or other, I trust that Noble Lord wilt be disposed i sgree with me in the view I take of this m portant que:;tion. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER —Sir, the question to which the Noble Lord opposite addressed himself seems to 1123 to he misapnrebended by him, 6 ° far es it relates to what has fallen Atom my Noble Friend the Member for Colchester.
