IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, JUNE 5. A number of Private Bills were brought up from the House of Commons. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY presented a. petition against the proposed clause prohibiting travelling of carriages on railroads. Lord MELVILLE presented a petition from Mr. Hope Johnstone, praying for a decision in the Annandale Peerage case. Lord BROUGHAM said it was absolutely necessary that some positive time should be fixed for the decision of such claims. A number of petitions were presented on various subjects, and the House adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Jenvx 5. The Speaker took the chair at half-past three o'clock. LIVERPOOL POLICE BILL. Mr. EWART presented a petition signed by 10,400 of the inhabitants of Liverpool against this Bill, and praying that the H mid not pass it into a law in its present shape. louse woi 4, pass lb..— -- RICHMOND WATER WORKS. Captain AL SAGER brought up the Report of the Com mittee upon this Bill. The Torquay Improvement Bill, and the Norwich and Swaff ham Road Bill, and several other private Bills, were advanced a stage. METROPOLIS WATER COMPANY. Sir F. BURDETT moved the second reading of this Bill. Mr. LEFEVRE presented a petition against it, from the Governors of Hospitals and the owners of Breweries in London and its neighbourhood. Mr. WARBURTON did not rise to oppose the second reading of this Bill, as the Company only proposed to do that on a large scale which private individuals had often done before. If the Bill proposed to give any exclusive privileges to this Company, he should most certainly oppose the bringing up the report. Sir S. WHALLEY said the object of the Company was to furnish a supply of pure soft Spring Water, which it was well known was in great abundance about London, and then to leave it to the Water Companies to receive their supplies from the Company, if they so thought proper, at a rate to be fixed by the Government Commissioners. Mr. SHAW LEFEVRE moved as an amendment that the Bill be read a second time this day six months. Mr. BUCKINGHAM supported the Bill. He believed that it was the only way of affording the people of the Metro polis a supply of pure Spring Water. NEW MEMBER. Mr. R. MORE O'FERR ALL, the newly elected Mem ber for Kildare, was here introduced, and took the oaths and his seat. The Hon. Gentleman was cheered on coming to the table. METROPOLIS WATER COMPANY. Mr. H. L. BULWER cordially supported the Bill, be cause he thought it would materially benefit the public at large. Mr. BARCL AY opposed the second reading of the Bill, on the ground that it proposed to confer a monopoly on a Company to the prejudice of the interests of the people of this metropolis, without tending in the least to improve the quality of the water with which it was supplied. Mr. HUME was opposed to monopoly of every description, but nothing of that nature was contemplated by the present Bill. The Company merely desired to make an experiment for the improvement of the water supplied to the metropolis, and in making it they prayed for the protection of the House for a short period of time. If they failed in their trial, the failure would injure none but the Company itself. Mr. F. BUXTON opposed the second reading of the Bill, the consequence of the passing of which would be, the de struction of all the manufactures of the metropolis, in which water was required. If these parties engaged in the enter prize, it would inflict great ruin upon themselves, without pro ducing the slightest benefit to the public. Colonel EVANS said the pecuniary interests of some Hon. Members were involved, and therefore they opposed this Bill. —( Hear, hear.) He could not blame them ; but he thought the matter should be left to the impartial consideration of the House, and therefore he hoped the Bill would be allowed to go into Committee.—( Hear.) Lord GRENVILLE SOMERSET opposed the Bill, because he did not think the proposed Company would achieve what they professed, nor did he believe it to be a bona fide Company. Dr. LUSHINGTON also opposed the Bill. Mr. WILKES supported it, on the ground of the monopo lising spirit and practices of the existing companies. Mr. M. PHILIPS opposed the Bill, because he consi dered it would be giving the Company the power of wronging one party to benefit another, by giving them the power of taking away the water from private wells, by sinking others near them. Mr. D. W. HARVEY rose amidst loud cries of " Di vide." He did not think that any Company would like to try an experiment for the mere purpose of spending 5,0001. He would support the second reading. Mr. V. SMITH opposed the Bill, because it was giving a monopoly of experiment, and preventing private persons making any on their own property.—(Cries Of " Question," and " Divide.") Sir F. BURDETT replied. It would be made out most satisfactorily . to the Committee, that there was no danger at all to private interests, and that there was a most plentiful supply of water for all. It was no monopoly at all—it did not inter fere with any one—not with the private individual, nor with the existing Companies. The Company pledged themselves to prove, by the most philosophical men, that such was the case. Mr. WARBURTON said that notwithstanding what he had before stated he was so convinced by the arguments he had heard, that he was now determined to oppose the second read ing of the Bill. The Gallery was then cleared for a Division, when there appeared— Against the second reading 124 For it......... 6O Majority —64 DONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY.

Mr. BA R NAB T brought up the Report of the Committee on this election, declaring that Fergus O'Connor, Esq., was not duly elected a Knight of the Shire for the county of Cork, that Richard Longfield, Esq. was duly elected, and that the petition and opposition were neither frivolous nor vexatious. PUBLIC INSTRUCTION—IRELAND. Mr. SHAW, seeing the Noble Lord the Secretary for Ireland in his place, wished to enquire when it was likely the Report of the Commissioners of Public Instruction in Ireland would be laid upon the Table. Lord MORPETH said that it should be transmitted forth with. ECCLESIASTICAL COURTS. Sir ROBERT PEEL wished to ask the Attorney-General whether it was his intention to bring forward in the present Session any measure for the improvement of the administra• tion of justice in the Ecclesiastical Courts. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, that it was his in tention to propose a measure on the subject without delay. ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE.

[The following is an Official Abstract of the Municipal Cor poration Bill.] HEADS of a BILL to PROVIDE for the REGULATION of MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS in ENGLAND and WALES. The Bill is entitled, " A Bill to provide for the Regulation of Municipal Corporations in England and Wales." It recites, that divers Bodies Corporate at sundry times have been constituted within the Cities, Towns and Boroughs of England and Wales, to the intent that the same might for ever be and remain well and quietly governed ; but that, partly by defects in the Charters by which the said Bodies Corporate have been constituted, partly by neglect and abuse of the privileges by such Charters granted and and confirmed to the Inhabitants of the said Cities, Towns, and Boroughs, and partly by change of cir cumstances since the said Charters were granted, the Bodies Corporate, for the most part, have not of long time been and are not now useful and efficient instruments of Local Government ; and first it enacts the Repeal of all Acts, Char ters, and Customs inconsistent with the Bill. The Bill commences with the usual Interpretation Clause, defining the construction of certain terms. It then provides as follows 1. That after the first Election of Councillors, the Body Corporate shall take and bear the Name of " The Mayor and Burgesses of" ( City and Borough,) and be constituted a CORPORATION. 2. Th a t th e B oun d ar i es o f c ertain Cities and Boroughs, in certain sections of Schedules (A•) and (B.) of the Bill, shall be the Boundaries settled by the Parliamentary Boundary Act, 2 and 3 William 4, c. 64 ; and that the Boundaries of certain other sections in the said Schedules shall be settled by the King in Council, determined by a Commission. 3. That the Municipal Constituency shall be Occupiers of Houses, Warehouses, Counting-houses or Shops rated for three years to the relief of the Poor of the Borough, and who have paid all rates due for six months before the revi sion, and who shall be entitled to be Burgesses exclud ing all who, within Twelve Months of Registration, shall have received parochial relief or other alms, or any person, or charitable allowance from any fund entrusted to the Charitable Trustees of such Borough thereinafter men tioned ; and that all Occupiers whose Landlords are rated or rateable to the Poor may claim to be rated, as in the English Reform Bill ; and any person coming to inhabit after the rate for the current year is made, may claim to be put upon it. 1 4. The Burgesses who cease to be Occupiers within the Borough, or neglect to pay their rates, shall be omitted from the Burgess Roll ; but within two years may be restored at the WRIGHT'S GREEK AND ENGLISH LEXICON.

Lord JOHN RU S SELL—I have now, Sir, to perform a very important duty, in asking leave of the House to bring forward a Bill, on the part of his Majesty's Government, to provide for the regulation of Municipal Corporations in 'Eng land arid Wales. Sir, it was not, till very lately, that I ex pected such a task would have fallen to my lot. In the course of last session, it was my intention that the consideration of this important question should have been in the hands of a person who will be admitted, on all sides of the House, to have been eminently qualified for that purpose, and who, in bringing the question before the House, would have brought that amount of talent and experience, and that intimate acquaintance with the constitution of the country, which would have recommended the measure that he would have proposed, and would have enforced the ar guments which he would have urged. Sir, I would say more, were it not that I am now alluding to yourself, and that I think it would not be proper to dwell longer on the subject. But as by the circumstances that have since occurred, it belongs properly to the station which I sow ho ld in the House to bring forward this measure, I can only beg that this House will give me that indulgence of which I stand so greatly in need ; and that they will make allowances for my deficiencies and my inadequate knowledge of the circum stances connected with this question. Sir, I ask for that in dulgence, because this subject is one of the very highest importance—one of considerable intricacy—one which relates to ancient practices and privileges, and one which by its proper exposition and arrangement will have a considerable effect upon the future business of this House. The persons whe are under the Government of Municipal Corporations in this country, and who are, taken in round numbers, resident in the boroughs which I propose to bring under the provisions of the Bill which I am about to ask leave of the House to in troduce, are not less than two millions.—( Hear, hear, hear.) It cannot be said that this question has been undertaken without ample and adequate investigation. It might have been allow able upon the first meeting of a Reformed Parliament to have taken a theoretical view of this subject, and to have laid down certain rules and regulations which in the opinion of Parliament were necessary for the government of Municipal Corporations, and to make these resolutions the foundation of any future measure. But, Sir, by the advice of the Committee of which you were the Chairman, another course was taken—a Commission was appointed by the Crown to inquire into these Corporations ; and after much careful, and laborious, and minute investiga tion, they presented a Report to his Majesty, in which they stated they had inquired into more than 200 Corporations ; and, after stating the general nature of these Corporations, they had declared that a thorough Reform must be effected, before they could become what the Commissioners submitted they ought to be, useful and efficient instruments of local govern ment. Sir, this Report was agreed to by far the greater number of the Commissioners appointed ; and I may say, Sir, that this is the conclusion of a body of men eminently qua lified for the task they had undertaken, and who, since their appointment, have bestowed the utmost pains, and diligence on this inquiry. Sir, I might have taken upon myself the task of proving the abuses which they declare to exist ; but they can be easily made out and ascertained by the reports contained in the various volumes which they have presented to his Majesty, and which have been laid before this House. But, Sir, as it is my purpose to propose a practical measure, and a practical measure of the very high est importance, and as going into the separate de tails of all these various heads might occupy a much longer period than I believe the House would be willing to accord to me on this subject, I think it would be better that I should touch upon two or three of those heads, which show that the present Bodies are unfit for the purposes for which they were appropriated, and that they are not good depositaries of local government. I believe the rest of the state ments of these Commissioners can be discussed on future occasions in the different stages of the Bill.—(Hear, hear.) Yet, Sir, there are two or three points which seem to me to be so strong, that I cannot altogether refrain from bringing them before the House. It appears to me, that of those Cor porations there is a vast—a great number which govern im: portant towns, and there are others which govern very small boroughs, which ought not to have any Corporation at all. I will speak, in the first place, of those boroughs which are considerable towns, where there are municipal coun cils required, but where those municipal councils do not properly represent the property, intelligence, and popu lation of the town. One instance mentioned in the Report, which is not, I believe, yet before the House, is that of Bed ford (we understood). There it is stated that the Corporate body was only one-seventeenth of the population of the town, and one-fourth of the property of the place. In the town of Oxford there are 1,400 electors, a great many of whom I, are not rated inhabitants of the town, and generally there was so much treating and such corrupt practices prevail- dent freemen, and of these 2,221, only 1,123 were rated, and of these 1,123 there were 316 paupers.—(Hear, hear.) The amount of property that is rated in the town, is stated to be 25,5411., and of that sum 18,2241. is the property of persons who in no way belonged to the Corporation. The fact is similar in Lincoln, where three-fourths of the Corporation are not rate-payers, and four-fifths of the popu lation do not belong to the Corporation. In Ipswich there are 2,000 rate-payers, and only 180 of them belong to the Corporation. In Liskeard (we believe,) 1,685 of the inhabitants were rated by a local Act, and of these only 110 were freemen. The population of Cambridge is 20,000, of which 1,434 are 101. householders, but only 118 aro freemen : and of 125,4901. Corporation property, only 2,1101. is the property of persons belonging to the Corporation. Sir, these are facts which do belong to one of the most important parts of this inquiry. It ought to be, at least I think it should be, the object of these Corporations, and one of their first objects, to represent the property of the town in which they are placed; to care for its general feelings and take care of its interests, and to give that due protection which the governing body ought to give and to exercise over those who are liable to pay the expenses of the government. There are two modes of excluding this municipal connection between the governing body, and those represented by it. One most obvious and common mode is where there is an entirely select body—where there is, no appearance of a popular election in any part of the government—but where it is carried on in one loca lity, forming an entire separation from the body of the people. This will be admitted to be a very great and glaring abuse.—( Hear, hear.) But great and glaring as it is, it is not so great, so vicious, as that which connects a few persons for carrying on the government for their own benefit, with a portion of the lower classes of the people belonging to it, whose votes they buy, whose habits they demoralize--( Cheers)—and who, while they make them the slaves and the tools of that political influence which tends to their own profit and bene fit, at the same time disseminate amongst these men, who have this symbol and appearance of freedom of election, the most debasing practices.—( Cries of " Hear, hear.) And yet I do not mean to deny—indeed, you might hear—indeed, you have heard before, that in some of these towns—in Nor wich, for example—although the majority who pay rates and have a great amount of property are excluded,—and the greater part of the minor rate-payers are totally excluded, yet because there are numbers, we are told that it is a po pular and democratic,,Constitution, and a 'Constitution which for the popular intec-zits ought to exist.—( Hear, hear.) I protest against all such arguments, and against all such principles ; for what I wish to see is a useful popular control equally, regularly, and beneficially exercised in these institu tions. What I wish to see is persons belonging to the lower ranks of the people assisting in municipal elections, and called upon to do so on the ground of the confidence and esteem of their fellow-citizens, and not by means of bribery and cor ruption. Let us reflect upon the consequences of the vicious mode of election that has prevailed—whether that mode of election has been carried on by self-election, or by separated bodies—whether by what I have termed a sem blance of popular election, or by burgesses separated altogether from the householders of the place—and we shall see that great and enormous abuses have prevailed, all of which are minutely detailed in the various reports of the Commissioners. As I have said, I shall not go through all the details of these reports, but shall content myself by reading the returns we have received from Northampton, Leicester, and other places in which there are instances of the most notorious corruption. In the distribution of the Charity funds belonging to these places, you will find that two-thirds, or at least a great pro portion of them are devoted to the support of the Blue party, or whatever party enjoy the predominant influence in the place ; and that, in the history given in the Report of these Corporations, which was most minutely traced, cha ritable establishments intended for the benefit of the town, are devoted to defraying the expenses of entertainments pro vided for the Mayor, Corporation, and other, municipal officers, a which frequently cost 5001. or 6001. year. A great portion of their funds is also given to the freemen of these boroughs to supply them with inducements to stand by the side of their party, and not to desert them when any political occasion may arise for their suffrages.—( Hear, hear.) — The facts are, however, so fully laid out in the Report of the Commissioners, that I shall not detail them, but shall merely give one instance of the way in which Corporation funds fall into the hands of a few individuals in small places, in which the purposes for which these funds were originally designed are totally neglected. One of these cases is Aldborough ; and with respect to it, the Report states that the capital burgess was accustomed to ask the price of the burgesses. 'The value of a respectable one was laid at 351., whereas that of an honest and highly respectable one, possessed of in fluence, was estimated at 1001. a year.—(Hear, hear.) It appears that the gentleman is a clergyman_( Cheers) — and wherever the transfer was made, the power of the Corpo ration was always exercised. Now, with respect to the borough of Aldborough, the principal members of the Cor poration are tho Marquis of Hertford, two members of his family, the Secretary of the Estate of Orphans, the Right Hon. John Wilson Croker, and other persons. (Great laughter.) With respect to the borough of Orford, the principal members of the Corporation were the Marquis of Hertford, four or five members of his family, the Right Hon. John Wilson Croker, the Collector of Customs, and the Town Clerk. Now it may be said that these gen tlemen, in directing their talents and attention to the improve ment of both these boroughs, was a proof of great kindness on their part, and showed a desire to further the interests of the inhabitants of these boroughs, whereas the real solution is this—. and I mention this case, because a hundred others are placed in the same situation with respect to returning Members to Parliament, and if the antiquary was only to go ajittle further, he would ascertain the reason why such a course was pur sued.—( Hear, hear.) The reason of having these gentle men made burgesses of Aldborough and Hertford was this, and it has been proved to be the fact by all the inquiries that have taken place, that whether in small or large boroughs, the practice has been to use the powers of Municipal Corporations, not for the benefit of the towns over which they presided, not for the good government of the towns, not that they might be quietly governed, but for the purpose of establishing an interest which might be useful in electing the Members of this House_ Well, Sir, then I proceed to the measu re which I am now to propose, for the purposes not of carrying on those sinister and indirect purposes, but for the object of the real government of those towns—that the people of those towns may exercise a proper control over their own officers—over the officers of those towns, and over the funds collected front the people of them—so that they may be fairly applied to the useful purposes of the towns, and not used to serve purposes of Parliamentary influence.—(Cheers.) Sir, we propose that there should be 183 boroughs r e g ulated by the Bill which I shall ask leave to bring in—(Hear) —those 183 boroughs contain a population of about two millions of inhabitants—at present, Sir, I take them at that amount, though at a future stage I shall be able to show that they much exceed it. The Bill I have alluded to begins, not by destroying, but by establishing a Reform of those Corporations. —( Loud Cheers.) We do not propose that the Charters shall be taken away from any of the Corporations—we propose in the first enacting clause of the Bill that all clauses in those charters which are inconsistent with this Bill shall cease and determine.—(Cheers.) There have been ninety-nine places visited which it is not proposed to in clude in the Bill ; and there are some other small places pos sessing Corporations which have not been visited. These we do not think it necessary to include in this Bill. They will remain as they are at present, so far as this Bill is concerned. With regard to the 183 boroughs which are to be regulated by this Bill, we propose that there should be ono uniform system of Government—one uniform franchise for the purposes of election—one single mode of Government, and a like description of officers in all those Boroughs, with the ex ception of some of the larger places which it is thought neces sary should have other officers than the smaller places. I come now to the franchise which I mean to propose. The natural course which might have occurred to any person wishing to propose a uniform one in these Corporations, would be the present Parliamentary 101. freeholders to be the constituency of these boroughs. But in considering that proposition, several reasons presented themselves against the adoption of this plan. In the first place it would be placing that franchise itself in danger. That franchise I think a most valuable one, and that it worked as beneficially as the authors of the Reform Bill could have wished—( Hear, hear, hear.) It has produced a class of Constituents of property and intelligence, fit to have the great trust reposed in them of electing Members of Parliament. But if we were to say that no ether persons except those having that franehise, should have a vote with respect to the government of Corpo rations, I fear we should be raising that feeling of discontent and jealousy (which all would lament), against those persons, a; monopolizing all the political power of the town.—( Cheers.) And, in the next place, Sir, I think that the present rate payers of the town—those who are its inhabitants—are per ' fectly fit and qualified to choose those persons who are to represent them in the Common Council, and the government of these Corporations. It may often happen, and I believe it does, that those lower classes of rate-payers resid ing in towns, do not take the same interest in the election of Members of Parliament, and are more open to corrupt prae tices in the giving of their votes than those of a higher class.—( Hear.) But there is not the same thing to be said of them, when we place before them the choosing - of their next door neighbours to have voices in the Government of their own towns. And there is another reason—it is this, that the rate payers do directly contribute to the expenses of the town. By this Bill they will be obliged to pay the borough rates—it will be necessary—absolutely necessary that they should not be exempt from paying their proportion of the borough rates, and according - to the principle and constitution of t he British Government, I think it but fair that the rate-payers should likewise have a voice in the election of those by whom the rates are made, and the expenses of the town arranged. At the same time it seems to be necessary to take pi-eautions, in order that persons should not obtain a ' settlement for a short time, nor perhaps should be unable regularly, and for a length of time, to pay rates, I think they ought to be permanent, settled, fixed inhabitants of the town—persons known to contribute to the rates, and we propose, as a test of this, that they should be persons who have been three years rated to the relief of the poor, and who have regularly paid their rates.—(Cheers.) We must also take care that those whe for a short time had not paid their rates should not be excluded for any long period, but should be again ad mitted on' paying their rates.—( Hear.) Sir, we propose that the r ight of voting shall be in the occupiers of houses, ware. houses, and shops ; and we propose, likewise, that the house holders shall be resident within 7 miles of the place.
