THE PARLIAMENT. (THIS EVENING.) HOUSE OF LORDS. 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 (,11 railroads. Lord MELVILLE presented a petition from Mr. Hope Johnstone, praying for a decision in the Annandale Peerage Lord BROUGHAM said it was absolutely necessary that some positive time should be fixed for the decision of such c•l:;ims. A number of petitions were presented on various subjects, and the House adjourned. HO USE OF C():17/14 ONS. The Speaker took the chair at half-past three o'clock. LIVERPOOL POLICE BILL. Mr. EWART presented a petition signed by 10,400 01 the inhabitants of Liverpool against this Bill, and praying that the House would not pass it into a law in its present shape. BRIXTON WATER WORKS. Captain ALSAGER 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 R; Mr. S. LE FE VRE 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 r....ading of this Bill, as the Company only proposed to do that on a large scale which private individuals had often done before. Ii the Bill proposed to give any exclusive privileges to this Company, he should most certainly oppose the bringing up the eport. Sir W. WHALLEY said the object of the Company was t tarnish a :u l •p'.y of pure soft Sr•-ing Water, which it was well kac.:wn was in great abundance about London, and tien to ,-:ve it to the Water Companies to receive their supplies from the Company, if they so thought proper, at a rate to be fixed I.v tile Government Commissioners. Mr. SHAW LEFEVRE moved as an amendment that the Bill he read a second time this day six months. Mr. BUCKING HA M 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'FERRALL, the newly elected Mem for Kildare, was heie introduced, and took the oaths !.:(1 his seat. The Hon. Gentleman was cheered on coming to the table. METROPOLIS WATER COMPANY. Mr. H. L. MTh WEI? cordially supported the Bill, be c-,use he thought it would materially benefit the public at large. Mr. BARCLAY opposed the second reading of the Bill, cm tl,e ground that it proposed to confer a monopoly on a Company to the prejudice of the interests of the people of this i--etropolis, without tending in the least to improve the quality o • the water with which it was supplied. Mr. HUME was opposed to monopoly of every description, at nothing of that nature was contemplated by the present 1,11. The Company merely desired to make an experiment for the improvement of the water supplied to the metropolis, z.nd in making it they prayed for the protection of the House , r a short period of time. If they failed in their trial, the failure would iejure none but the Company itself. ,Mr. F. BUXTON opposed the second reading of the Bill, eie consequence of the passing of which would be, the de s ruction of all the manufactures of the metropolis, in which crater was required. If these parties engaged in the enter- I rim, it would inflict great ruin upon themselves, without pro encing the slightest benefit to the public. Colonel EVANS said the pecuniary interests of some Hon. Ikl,rnbers were involved, and therefore they opposed this Bill. ( Hear, hear.) He could not blame them; but he thought fie matter should be left to the impartial consideration of the lnuse, and therefore he hoped the Bill would be allowed to ho into Committee—( Hear. ) Lord GRENVILLE SOMERSET opposed the Bill, 1.,-ause he did not think the pronesed Company would achieve r.liat they professed, nor did he believe it to be a bona fide C mpany. Dr. LUSHINGTON also opposed the Bill. Mr. WILK ES supported it, on the ground of the monopo ris'ing spirit and practices of the existing companies. Mr. M. PHILIPS opposed the Bill, because lie consi ecred 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 i.ear them. Mr. D. W. HARVEY rose amidst loud cries of " Di a isle." He did not think that any Company would like to try rn experiment for the mere purpose of spending 5,0001. He v ould support the second reading. Mr. V. SMITH opposed the Bill, because it was giving a rlonopoly of experiment, and preventing private persons I:.:tking any on their own property.—( Cries of " Question," ;;>id " Divide.") cir F. B URDETT replied. It ould be made out most S_ ,iseactorily to the Committee, that there was no danger at r it is 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 THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, JUNE 5, 1835, prove, by the most philosophic al men, that such was tte that intimate acquaintance with the constitution of the case. / country, which would have recommended the measure that Mr. WA RB LT RT ON said that notwithstand in g what he had he would have proposed, and would have enforced the ar be!ore stated he was so convinced by the arguments he had guments which he would have urged. Sir, I would say heard, that he was now determined to oppose the second read- inure, were it not that I must now allude to myself, and ing of the Bill. that I think it would not be proper to dwell longer The Gallery was then cleared for a Division, when there on the subject. But as by the circumstances that have since appeared— occurred, it belongs properly to the station which I now hold Against the second reading For it 'Majority 64 that this House will give me that indulgence of which I stand CARDIFF MARKET. so greatly in need • and that they will make allowances for On the motion of Mr. TOOKE, this Bill was read a third my deficiencies and' my inadequate knowledge of the circum stances connected with this question. Sir, I ask for that in sac and passed. 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 who 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 come under the provisions l.f the Bill which I am about to ask leave of the house to in troduce, are not less than two millions.—( Hear, bear, 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 stated 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 ' • but 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 in 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 details of all these various heads might occupy a much larger period than I believe the House would be willing to listen 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 arc 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 was the case of Bedford (we understood). There it is stated that the Corporate body was only one-seventieth of the popu lation of the town, and one-fortieth of the property. In the town of Oxford there are 1,400 electors, a great many of whom are not rated inhabitants of the town, and generally there was so much treating and such corrupt practices pre vailing, that at the time of the election it was stated that not more than 500 took part in it.—(Hear, hear.) There is next the city which the Noble Lord opposite ( Stormont) re presents—l mean Norwich—where there are 3,225 resi dent freemen, and of these 3,225 only 1,123 were rated, and of these 1,123 there were 315 paupers.—( Hear, hear.) Of the amount of property that was rated in the town, it was stated to be 25,5411., and of that sum 18,2241. was the pro perty of persons who in no way belonged to the Corporation. The fact was similar in Lincoln, where three-fourths of the Corporation were not rate-payers, and four-fifths of the popu lation did not belong to the Corporation. In Ipswich there were 2,000 rate-payers, and only 180 of them belonged 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 2,110/. 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 ehould 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 connect. 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 benefit, at the same time they 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 c 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 interests ought to exist.—( Hear, hear.) I protest against all such arguments, and against all such principles ; and 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 cousequences 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 C o mmissioners. 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 Nosthempton, Leicester, and other places in which there were instances of the most notorious corruptioi, In the distribution of the Charity funds belonging to these places,they would find that two-thirds, or at least a !Treat pro portion of them were devoted to the support of the Blue party, or whatever party enjoyed 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, were devoted to defraying the expenses of entertainments provided for the Mayor, Corporation, and other municipal officers, which frequently cost 500/. or 6001. a year. A grea portion of their funds was 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 might 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 the 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 berough of Hertford, the principal members of the Corporation were the Marquis of Hertford, by members of his family, the Right Hon. John Wilson Croker, the Collector of Customs, and the Town Clerk.—( Cheers.) Nowitmaoyof of beslo.drethat kindnessatt heseg neon tlemen, in directing their tal i e r n e ts to an f d ur a t t i t l e e n r ti t z toin interests stsof f improve mentthe their pant of h,ti andth t showediesebor o a u d g e h s , was a proof 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 a little 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 might be qu i e tly or large boroughs, the pra ctice has been to us e the powers of Municipal Corporati ons, not for the benefit of the towns over whom they pr esided, not for the good governed,government u t of f the r th e purposetowns, n o o f t that establishingthey an interest w hich might be useful in electing the Members of thi s H ouse . Well, Sir, then I proceed to the mea s ur e wh ich 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 of the people of them—so that they may be fairly applied to the useful purposes of the towns, and not CORK ELECTION. Mr. BA RN ABI 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 improvemert 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. Lord JOHN RUSSELL moved that the House, at its rising, do adjourn to Wednesday next.—Carried. MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS [The following is an official abstract of the Municipal Con poration Bill.] HEADS OF 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 awl 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 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 next revision of the Burgess Roll ; and that after the pass ing of the Act no Person shall be elected, admitted,:or enrolled a Citizen, Freeman, Liveryman or Burgess, or by any name, a Member of any Body Corporate, in respect of any right or title other than that of being a settled rate-payer within such Borough, according to the meaning and provisions of the Bill. 5.

Lord JOHN RUSSELL—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 and 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 i n t en ti on th a t th e cons ideration of this important question would 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, bud used to serve purposes of Parliamentary influence.—( Cheers. ) Sir, we propose that there should be 183 boroughs regulated 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 thorn 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 !hall be taken away from any of the Corporations—we propose in the first enacting enacting clause of the Bill that all clauses in those charters which are inconsistent with should be cancelled, but we do not propose to interfere with these local Acts, so far as relates to any consoliclatiOn.-( Cheers. ) With respect to the police of the towns (and there was a portion of the police which led to great abuses), it was pro pc... that their appointment should not be vested in the Ma gistrates. It was not conducive to the ends of justice, to have the' power of appointment mixed or confounded with the poiyer of administering justice. It was therefore de termined upon that this privilege should be left to the Council, or to a Committee of the Council—a Council elected by the rate-payers of the town—by the popular mode of elec tion, and although there was no doubt that the Members of that Council would be naturally inclined to favour their private friends, yet a body elected under popular control was less likely to make an improper appointment than if the power were confounded with that of the local ma gistracy, and not so calculated to do an injury, as if the robe of justice were sallied by so vile a contamina tion.—(Cheers.) Another portion of the question I shall now approach, which is totally separate and distinct from that of which I have now been treating—l mean the administration of justice in towns and boroughs. We propose that in certain towns there shall be a division. We propose to put 129 towns in schedule A—( Laughter)—to which we shall give the Commission of the Peace. In the remaining 54 towns, they may, if they think proper, have a Commission of the Peace. With respect to the 129 towns the Council is to have the power of recommending a person—a Magistrate—for the Commsssion of the Peace, but not a power to elect a Magistrate in such a manner as that the power of the Crown would not be necessary to perfect it. There are more than 1,000 Magistrates in these I:oroughs— that number is not, in my opinion, necessary, and I think that the Councils will take proper care not to recommend any Ma gistrates but those whom the advisers of the Crown are most likely to appoint. I propose that the Magistrates shall not have the power to preside at the Quarter Sessions—which were held in a great many places for the administration of justice. But, Sir, there is at least a considerable number of these boroughs in which it may be proper to have a Court of Quarter Sessions, where they have now a Court of Quarter sessions ; and in many of them there is a Recorder, who is per fectly fit for his situation, which Recorder ought to be con tinued. We propose, therefore, that on application to the Crown, by the boroughs, for liberty to have a Court of Quarter Sessions, and upon stating that they are willing to retain the Recorder, the Recorder shall be re taind---(llear, hear)—but these Recorders must, in every instance be barristers of five years' standing. Therefore, in those towns where there is now a barrister o 5 years standing as Recorder, and the town is satisfied with his administration of justice, that Recorder may remain, and the Court of Quarter Sessions be also continued. With respect to other towns, who desire to have a Court of Quarter Sessions, and which have no Recorder, we then propose that, with respect to all nominations of Recorders for the future, that that nomination shall be vested in the Crown.—( Hear, hear.) Therefore the town is to declare it requires a Court of Quarter Sessions, and it is to show that that Court of Quarter Sessions may be conveniently held within that town ; it is to show that it is ready to provide the necessary salary of a Recorder, and then it is left to the Crown to appoint the judge who is to act. Sir, it seems to me that it is better that that power should be in the Crown, limiting it always to a barrister of 5 years' standing,than to have anything resembling the popular election of Judge. These Recorders will be appointed during good behaviour— they will not be removable at pleasure, and therefore I think we may rely upon their exercising their functions independently and honestly. Sir, there are some provisions that are necessary relating to Quarter Sessions, with respect to county rates, into which it is not necessary that I should fully enter. It is reported in some places the County-rates would not be levied by the Justices of the Cour ty, but in certain proportions, by agreement, between borough and borough ; and if that agreement cannot be made it should be referred to some third party. I know of no better party that it can be referred to than the Commissioners of the Treasury. for the purpose of its being finally determined. These clauses have been framed with great care, after consultation with persons who are intimately acquainted with this subject. We propose, Sir, that in all of those great boroughs, the Commission should have jurisdiction in capital offences.— ( Cheers.) I believe that there are many gentlemen in this House well aware of the great importance of these Courts having -, the power of framing their own rules and regulations. Sir, I 6 have now gone through the chief of the clauses proposed to be inserted in this Bill. There may be some parts of con siderable importance which I have not touched, but I have given the House a general view of the whole matter.— ( Cheers. ) In providing for these Corporations, many of them in a state of Insolvency—(loud cheers)—we are of opinion that by the provisions which I have now detailed we shall be enabled—in the first place, we shall 'procure for the government of those boroughs a Council which shall have the confidence of the people.—( Great cheering.) We think there will be no longer an opinion entertained that those Corpo rations have been instituted for the exclusive benefit of one par ticular party in those towns.—( Cheers.) We are of opinion in the next place, that by these provisions we shall provide a secure and preventive police in these towns. We conceive, in the last place, that in providing for the pure and proper ad ministration of justice, we secure to it the love and admiration of the people--(Hear)---and we conceive that by the provi sions of this Bill we will establish that pure administration of justice in those towns containitg so large a mass of population. Sir, this is a measure which in my opinion is in strict conformity with the Reform Bill.—( Cheers. ) It will reform one of our valuable institutions, while at the same time it destroys no part of them except those which upon all hands are admitted to be bad.--( Hear, hear.) We have not interfered to destroy, but we have interfered to build up, after a long and patient investi gation. It is a measure, Sir, which is in conformity with the declaration of this House at the commencement of this Session in the Address to his Majesty—in conformity with the wish expressed by his Majesty in answer to that address, that the dissolution of Parliament might not pre vent any of those Reforms which were necessary. Sir, it is a measure upon which we, as a Government, are ready to stake what credit may belong to us for having proposed the Re form Bill, ` - and other measures which have obtained the ap proval of the country.—( Loud and continued cheering.) We, Sir, have paid great attention to this subject, although we have been deprived of the benefit of some—one I have alluded to at the commencement of my address, another t may now mention. We have been deprived of the assistance of my Noble Friend Lord Spencer, who, at the close of the last Session, gave notice upon this subject.—( Cheers.) lam sure that tke Noble Lord, if he had joined the present Go vernment—if he had not preferred, as he always did, the unam bitious quiet of private life to any honours or advantages which office might confer; if he had condescended, as was the anx ious wish of his Majesty's present Government, to have joined them, I think his assistance would have been most valuable, both in framing this measure, and in explaining it to the House, in a manner of which, so far as regarded details, he was the unrivalled master.—( Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") Sir, I have ventured thus to explain the general fea. tures of this measure, and shall leave the question to be determined and acted upon by the deliberate opinion of the House. I shall leave it to the judgment of the House, and to the judgment of the people of England, as a safe, effectua', and wholesome measure of Municipal Reform.--(The Noble Lord sat down amid loud cheers.) this Bill shall cease and determine.—( Cheers.) There have hem 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 whit are to be regulated by this Bill, we propose that there should be one uniform system of Government—one uniform franchise for the purposes of election—one single mode of Government, and alike 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 other persons except those having that franchise, 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, as 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 Mmbers of Parliament, and are more open to corrupt prac 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. But 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 the 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 precautions, 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 who for a short time had not paid their rates should not be excluded for ahy long period, but should be again ad mitted on paying of their rates.—( Hear.) Sir, we propose that the right 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. The next question is—of whom shall those persons be elected for the Government of the towns. We propose that there should be one body only, consisting of a mayor and common council, in whom this power shall be vested. The Common Councils shall consist of various members, in a manner not arithmeti cally, but generally fixed, and varying from fifteen, in the smallest boroughs, where there are about 2,000 inhabitants to 90 in the largest.—( Cheers.) With respect to the larger of these towns, there are only twenty in number in which there are 25,000 inhabitants, and we propose that these towns should be divided into Wards, and that a certain number of Common Councilmen, as stated in the Schedule, should be chosen in each ward. With regard to the 162 other towns, the whole of the inhabitatants, as stated, should elect a Common Council. —( Hear, hear, and cheers.) With respect, however, to those persons who at present enjoy advantages, we do not propose to deprive them of them during their life, but we propose, in future, that no person shall be admitted a burgess of these Corporations except according to the rules I have just mentioned, namely, that of permanent residence, and duly paying rates. I know not what argument can be raised with respect to the re gulations which we propose to lay down. I do not believe that there will be any sufficient case to be made out, when we have established the facts as they are stated' in the Reports, or that there can be any case made out for admitting persons to become Members of Corporations, except as we propose.—( Hear.) I will just mention the right of birth, which is undoubtedly one of those ancient rights belonging, and most properly, to Corporations. In former times the inhabitants of towns were justly proud of the'r place of birth. When they saw that all the inhabitants round them were villains and slaves, they had a just right if they left the town to claim free dom by birth. In the same way the right of freedom by trade and by servitude arose in those times when those trades re quired it—when they were rising and making their way against the barbarism that surrounded them. But in these days when we were all equal and free subjects, when those trades are not, as formerly, matters of great party interest—( Hear, hear)—l do not think there is any reason for distinctions ,of this kind, and, I think, we ought to abolish those kinds of right altogether.—( Hear. ) It is proposed to abolish all exclusive rights in trading.— ( Cheers.) There is at present in Exeter, one person belonging to the Corporation, who makes hundreds every year. So far as regards advantage from exclusive rights of trading, we Propose to abolish those which exist, and admit none in future. —( Cheers.) Now, Sir, with regard to the election of Coun cils, we propose that the members of Councils should be elected every three years, one third of whom are to go out every year. For my own part, I must confess, my conscientious belief is, that the inhabitants of the town, in select ing persons in whom they can place confidence, whether they elect them for either three years, or for one year, would generally elect the same persons for whom they had a regard, and in whom they believed the disposal and management of their property might be safely placed, and by this plan they will certainly, at all events, have two thirds of the council who have had some experience in the managemant of their affairs. In regard to the mode of election, it is not important at all ; but it as ill be done by a written list of persons, containing the names of all those who wish to be elected on the Council. We propose that the Mayor should be annually elected, and that he should be during the time of his mayoralty a Justice of the peace, and a deputy lieutenant of the county—we do not propose any qualification. It often excites great ill will, and we have therefore thought fit to have no other qualification than that which is now naturally preferred in all civilized socies ty. Now, Sir, with regard to the Councilmen, they are to have the power of appointing a town-clerk, treasurer, and all officers to carry on the business of the Corporation. Cer tainly we do not intend to oblige tilem, fk,r it .7311'1 be totally inconsistent to make the attempt to oblige them to preserve the present town clerks —( Loud cheers, and cries of " Hear.") Of course, when I say it would be utterly impracticable to do it, it is because, with a new council coming in, it would be quite necessary to have persons in whom they can confide, and who will do the business in the manner that tlffy lay down, and not presume to hold them at defiance—( Hear)—at the same time when there is any peculiar claim that can be made by an officer for services rendered, if compensation can fairly be demanded, it would accord with my feelings to pay it. ( Hear.) Now, Sir, the most important part of these municipal Corporations is the management of the funds, a management which certainly at the present moment does not shew any very great wisdom or economy—( Hear)—while the gross income amounts to 367,000/. the expenditure is 377,000/., and the debts amount to 2,000,000/.—( Hear.) We find that some of these Bodies have incurred debts from year to year, and have been, up to the last two years, raising loans which they were dividing amongst themselves, the proceeds of those loans, and getting deeper into debt.—( Hear.) We propose, therefore, Sir, that the Councils should have power to have any Committee in order to manage these finan cial affairs, and that these accounts should be regularly audited and regularly brought before the public, and that they should no longer be kept as secret accounts.—( Hear, hear. ) Now making this security of publicity, we make, in my opinion, great progress towards placing these boroughs under better management.—(Cheers.) There is another point of duty on the part of these Corporations, which has been no less badly managed ; I refer to the management of estates which have been left them for charitable purposes by charitable per sons.—(llear, hear.) We propose that these Councils shall become the trustees of those charitable funds, appointing, if they choose, a Committee for their management, at the same time appointing a separate Treasurer and Secretary. It is likewise provided that the persons having the management o f those Charity Estates shall not be less in number than fifteen, chosen from among the general body of burgesses in the town, because it may often happen that v jetnbihgeoecs mentionedt these r s Is sc e oorsrfp otwhr Corporations t o ai nostyhe from t aerrnei persons roes body, r nob dge knowledge vn o e w wsa tlnheeddod whom what hha o oet f business of this kind may be most fit persons t o fill such offices. there may be persons who dislike to bear cor p ora t e o ff ices , but there may Now, t i ' r ev t e e trolini t Sb a ei k ern e t thho p eaf lace with respect to the funds of these c harities, I come next to the part w hi c h regards the administration of justice and police in th ese b oroug h s. Sir' we propose that the whole watch o f t h e ' town,— the bustihneesseoonftrwoaltcohfintghe council, thetoivn and all p town, shall beplarcoevisindocoms inpletely under the local Act, so far as they militate against that power, are not to be continued.

W e thi n k t h ere oug ht to far as the watch is concerned. I will not now enter into the provisions made as to paving and lighting , those powers aro often exercised under Local Acts by Commis sioners. It may be desirable hereafter that this power , THE SPEAKER having put the question, that leave be given to bring in a Bill which provides for the regulation of Muni cipal Corporations in England and Wales, Sir R. PE EL said Sir, although I am resolved to avail myself of every advantage in the discussion of this im portant question, which additional time and opportunities of farther reference to documents already in the possession -of the House, and of reference not yet in it s p ossess i on, IA iii alluid Ink.:—( ILar, hear, hear)—it is no:, thy Ll tention to enter at any length at the present time, into a dhvussion of the important measure which the Noble Lord has this night proposed to the House. Still, on account of its im portance, I am unwilling to permit that motion to be put from the chair without any person having offered an observation upon it beyond the speech of the Noble Lord. Sir, I shall make no opposition to this motion.—(Loud cries of " Hear, hear, hear.") I shall certainly throw not the slightest impediment in the way of its introduction, and, moreover, I am about to state opinions upon th e subject of municipal reform generally, not in imme diate reference to this measure, the details of which are so important, that each is entitled to separate discussion, but I am about to express_ opinions upon the subject of Municipal Reform which will not be found inconsistent with those expressed by the Noble Lord. He agreed with the Noble Lord, the that time had ar rived when it was necessary, for the well-being of so ciety, to establish a good system of municipal government. He had looked through these reports, and the impression left on his mind was, that the time had arrived when it was highly necessary for Parliament to interfere, to provide effectual checks upon abuses, and therefore, without any hesitation, he admitted that it was of the utmost importance that a good system of municipal go vernment should be provided for large towns, whether they were corporate towns or not.—(Hear, and cheers.) After making this admission, it followed, as a matter of course, that Corporations, where they existed, should be made instrumental in effecting those purposes.—( Hear.) He had no hesitation in saying that Parliament had a right to require that the revenues of those Corporations, except where they were applied to special purposes, might very fairly be applied to public purposes--( Great cheering)— connected with good municipal government. If he were a member of a Corporation, so r ffom objecting to this, he would wish that the Corpora n fwds should be applied to i public purposes, rather tha to a system of public feasting. But he must say that thi as a new principle altogether. (LETT • "f SPEAKING.) CORK ELECTION COMMITTEE. - When Mr. Serjeant . MEREWETHER concluded his reply, and having declined to produce any witnesses, the Committee room was cleared, and after about an hours' deliberation, the Chairman declared it to be the resolution of the Com mittee, that Feargus O'Connor was not duly elected, and ought not to have been returned as a Knight of the shire to serve in the present Parliament. That Richard Longfield, Esq. was duly elected, ;and ought to have been returned ; and that the petition and opposition thereto were neither fri volous nor vexatious, Mr. Lynch, one of the members for Galway, pro poses to make a very important alteration in the constitution of the Courts, for the trial of Civil Bills in Ireland.
