The necessity of a con.iderable extension of the elective franchise is at length admitted on every side. The Premier, in a recent debate, solemnly abjured the " finality" doctrine which had so : long, we are h a ppy to say erroneously, been ascribed to him. Even the most decided Tory will scarcely venture to assert that all the inhabitants of the United Kingdom beyond the 1.080,000 electors which form the aggre gate of the electoral body should still rein An unre presented. 'Whatever views, therefore, may be en tertained with respect to the other great questions of Parliamentary Reform, th e re i s at lea s t no difference with respect to the propriety of bringing within the pale of the Constitution many of those who, under the present system, are most unjstly excluded from any voice in the e nac t ments o f t h e laws by which they are governed, or in the disposal of the national revenues to which they are collectively and indiviluilly bound to contribute, and w h o are thus reduced to the condition of being mere political cyphers unworthy of exerci-ing the privilege of self government, the inherent birthright of every free- born man. The justice of the principle that there shall be "no taxation without rep:esen ta tion" has lung been re cogiaisel by all parties. It is to the unequivocal recognition of that great political axiom that the power of the House of Commons is chiefly ascribable. That House has long been the recognized guirdian of the public purse, and no interference, however minute, is tolerated with respect to the important privilege which is so jealously and vigilantly guarded. That privilege has , been conceded because thtt /louse is supposed to reprr lent the wants and wishes of the tax-payilig community--,and its assent must be recorded before any impost can be • levied, or before one shilling of the proceeds can be applied to any purpose whatsoever... theory, therefore, if not in practice, every individual who in any degree contributes to the national Exchequer, is entitled to the franchise; and his exclusion can only be justified on the ground of some great and over whelming state necessity—that it would, in fact, be dangerous to society to enable him to exercise his undoubted right. Although we cannot participate in the fears of those timid politicians who believe that the British Constitution would be imperilled by placing the ► democratic element on the most extended basis, we would yet be prepared to assent to the satisfaction of the popular claims by fair and liberal instalments. We would allow them to learn the needlessness of their scruples from experience, provided the first step were speedily taken in the right direction. But it must be no trivial or illusory concessions, no petty alteration, that will still leave the glaring and flagrant injustice subsisting in all its enormity. The veteran Reformer, JOSEPH HUME, who at one period stood almost alone in his advocacy of popular rights in the Commons House of Parliament, has declared that he will for the present accept Household Suf frage, and a large body of Reformers have acceded to the proposition of their tried and faithful friend— s large addition would thus be made to the several constituencies, and, many well-qualified men would be added to the lists of electors. But the dominant party still object ; they acknowledge the right, but they declare that such right cannot be exercised with safety ; that, in fact, the great body of the people are not duly qualified for the trust; that they are not competent to form a sound judgment on public questions, or, on the qualifications and characters of public men; that wherever the mists of ignorance are dispelled, and education generally diffused throughout the community, the restrictions may be removed, and the structure of society placed upon the broadest foundation. Such are the arguments by which the claims of the less wealthy classes are opposed; and there is undoubtedly some shadow of rea son in the assertion that those who neglect the op portunities now placed within the r e a ch of all—who exhibit such culpable apathy and carelessness in the improvement of their own minds, who are the volun tary slaves of ignorance—should not be entrusted with political power. Our esteemed Correspondent, whose letter will be found in another part of our impre=sion this day, suggests a mode by which these difficulties may be overcome. He proposes the adoption of "an educa tional test," or as he himself happily terms it, "to give the vote to a man because he is a man, not because he has purchased some earth, or some bricks and mortar." If this proposi tion were adopted, if every man capable of reading and writing, and who understood the primary rules of common arithmetic, were admitted to the fran chise, an extraordinary stimulus would be applied to learning which is now, unhappily, too much neg lected. Then, indeed, the absence of a vote would be regarded as a shame and a disgrace not to the Legislature, but to the individual who, by his own default, was excluded from the privileges belonging to his i'ellow-men. Under the present narrow; and illiberal system, many who are far better qualified by intellectual at tainments for the proper discharge of the duties of a citizen than the great majority of the electoral body, as at present constituted, are most unfairly and improperly rejected. They thus suffer a vicarious punishment for the de ficiencies of others. Tnis is neither just nor equit able, and cannot be defended on any principle. We commend the suggestion to the consideration of all sincere reformers—of liberals not merely in profes sion but in practice. There would be but little diffi culty in applying the test, and bringing the system into operation. It would also possess this recom mendation, that it would contain within itself the elements for the future extension of the suffrage as occasion should arise. It would be perfectly safe, for a higher qualification could scarcely be suggested, and it would be satisfactory to the great body of the working classes, whose discontent and dissatisfaction at their present condition is fraught with the utmost danger to the community in general. The spirit of malicious vindictiveness, of reckle-s disregard for legality and truth, which has ever cha racterised the proceedings of the Bourbon if of Naples and of their agents, with regard to Sicily and the Sicilians, has been remerkubly illustrated during the past week by the prosecution of Prince GRANATELLI and Signor SCALIA at the Central Criminal Court. For three days were a Sicilian nobleman, Prince GRANATELLI ; a member of the Sicilian Parliament, Signor Um SCALIA ; and an English seaman, Captain MOODY, compelled to stand at the bar of the Old Bailey to meet a criminal charge brought against them by the agents of the King of NAPLES"— a charge for which there was no foundation either in law or in fact, and in support of which several witnesses were called, of whom we will only say that whilst they are worthy of the service of the King of NAPLES, his is the only European service which is worthy of them. Even had Prince GRANATELLI and Signor SCALIA been really guilty of the mis demeanour laid to their charge, there was something mean, cowardly, and vindictive, and therefore, per haps, peculiarly Bourbon-like, in choosing the pre sent time, of all others, for prosecuting them ; but, inasmuch as they had done nothing ille gal or wrong, and inasmuch as the agents of the King of NAPLES in this country must have been perfectly aware that such was the case, inas much as it was evident to every man of common sense and of ordinary knowledge of law, that the pro secution could have but one termination, the ac quittal of the defendants, it is clear that the gratifi cation of a petty spirit of vindictiveness was the motive which actuated the Neapolitan authorities in undertaking it. It appears that in June, 1848 Prince GRANATELLI and Signor SCALIA were accre dited to the English Government by the Provisional Government of Sicily, and were received by Lord PALMERSTON, if not officiellement, yet officieusement in that capacity. There was no mystery about their mission, they were seen by the Prince o f _ ASTEL. CICALA, the Neapolitan Ambassador, waiting in the ante-room of the Foreign-office ; they were met by Prince CASTELCICALA at the soirees of Lady PAL - AtERSTON. At the time of their arrival they were anxious to purchase two English steamers to I send out to Sicily (be it remembered the King of NAPLES had purchased nearly the whole of his steam fleet in England), and so careful were they not to infringe the law of England, that it appears from Sir Frrzaoy KELLY'S statement they acted, in every step they took, under the beet legal advice, and before purchasing the steamers, and before fitting them out, ascertained that neither by the purchase nor by the manner cf fitting up these vessels were they violating the English law ; and they were well alvised ; for although their proceed ings were narrowly watched by the Prince of CAS TELCICALA and his spies, although the respectable Colonel AUBREY, now an ornament to the service of King BOMBA, for a "wretched and mean bribe" of 3001. consented to become that worst of traitors, a traitor in uniform—" un militaire qui trahit, un trititre ea uniforme c'cat la pire espece de tauten—although REDoNDO, the " sturdy vagabond," whom we re commended to the attention of the Mendicity S was sent as a spy, eventually to be kicked out as a traitor ; and although Mr. D. H. WATSON, not content with serving the Queen of ENGLAND as a Customs officer for money, must needs also serve King Bomait " out of pure love and affection," without reward or the promise of reward as informer—although all these persons were engaged day after day, and hour after hour, in watching and tale-bearing, yet they could discover nothing, and albtit Mr. D. H. WATSON, in the exuberance of his zeal, seized the Bombay on the 16th of March, and thereby rendered himself liable to an action for damages, yet after a minute investi gation the law-officers of the Crown decided that there was no cause whatever for detaining the vessel, and on the 4th of May she was delivered up. Enraged at being thus foiled in their revenge, mad dened by the refusal of the English Government to permit the metropolitan police to be employed as spies for the King of , NAPLES, the partisans of that amiable Monarch concocted the prosecution which has just teroduatol in the triuraphint tic quittal of Psi. isce GII ANATELLI, and the signal de feat of the ag tilts of King BOMBA. Whether or not the-matter is -to....end here, whether or not the prosecutors and witnesses in this cae may not here after be themsehi es indicted, some for perjury, some for subornation of perjury, some for conspiracy, are matters on is hic h those, whom they sought to make their victims mu st determine; but we are convinced that neither Frit ice GRANATELLI nor Signor SCALIA Will regret the t )ain, the trouble, the annoyance, and the vexation to , which they have been subjected, when they consider it .e very important admissions as to the nature of the 'Government of Sicily which this trial Ihas been the means of eliciting from the Ministry of that ICING ' who now, by the admission of his accre dited representative in England, stands branch(' in the face of th e world as an illegal usurper, a tyrant, an insurgent l tonarch, in a state of permanent in surrection agait tat those laws to which alone he owes throne ; whose rule in Sicily is, consequently upon his own s howing, the rtfe of brute force alone, without the spa dow of right, and whose yoke there fore may at ally time be thrown off without any violation of law, or right, or justice, s whensoever those who groan under it shall feel themselves sufficiently strong to strike another blow for freedom. The Prince of CASTELCICALA, the representative in this country of the King of the Two SICILIES, was examined upon oath at this trial , and he was, in the course of his cross-examination, compelled to admit that the legitimate Government of Sicily is a Constitutional Government. " Sicily has two Chambers," says the Prince of CASTELCICALA, " a Chamber of Peers and a Chamber of Commons." Where, we ask, were those Chambers from 1816: to 1848—where are they now ? We have all along contended that the Sicilians have been throughout in their right, and we have now the admission of the Prince of CASTELCICALA that such is the case. Lord PALMERSTON was,therefore,perfectlyjustified in apply. in the term " Sicilian Government" to the Regency of RUGGIERo SETTIMO, and notwithstanding the ravings of , the gentleman who perpetrates Abeerdeenisins for s a morning paper, he would have been perfectly justified had he formally recognised the Sicilian Government, and recsived Peinee GRANATELLI and Signor SCALIA, not merely officieuseinent but offi ciellement. The writer to whom we allude, in his zeal to uphold the cause of that paragon of Monarchs, King BoMBA, has ventured to misrepresent the law of nations, and as that misrepresentation is evidently a coinage from the Aberdeen mint, and R ill no doubi be quoted hereafter in Parliament by the co-conspi rators of the continental reactionaries, it may be as well at once to set the question at rest by appealing to an authority to which even NETTERNICU himself will not venture to demur. We mean VATTEL. The dis ciple of AMIRDE EN says:—" We deny that it has been the practice of this country, or that it is consistent with public law, to foment rebellious in foreign States, by the recognition of such Governments"—(meaning such Governments as the late Sicilian Government) — and further on he adds :—" These principles are not contested." So far from these principles not being contested, we centend that they have never been admitted. - With regard to the recognition of such (governments, the practice of this country has been the very contrary of that which it is here represented to have been. Mr. CANNING, by the recognition of the Governments of the South American Republics, "called the New World into existence to redress the balance of the old ;" and even Lord ABERDEEN himself; in obedience it must be admitted to Russian com mands, and with the full permission of his mentor, MirrrEnracu, ventured to recognise the Government public law, oy.regard So m l aw, uwtcoeh thefor the find,c oo consistency :isrtee practice fneeryr no o gff this t t h o i s v c .p o Ar u aT n eT t t r Ei f Greece. w with puibt with that he lays it down as the public law of Europe that all foreign nations are bound not only to recog nise but to aid a people situated as the Sicilian nation is situated with regard to King FERDINAND. "If the PRINCE," says VATTEL (Book 1., chap. iv), "by violating fundamental laws, furnishes to his people a legitimate cause for resistance ; if his tyranny by becoming insupportable, rouses the nation to insurrection, every foreign power has a right to assist an oppressed people who demand aid and protection. When a nation takes up arms against a tyrant it is just and generous to support a brave people de fending their liberty. In case of civil war, therefore, foreign Powers may assist whichsover of the two parti's appears to them to have justice on its side. There are monsters wh), under the name of kings, render themselves the scourge and horror of humanity, and every man of honour is bound in con science to assist in extirpating these ferocious beasts from the earth." Again, in Buck 3, chap. xvi., VATTEL says, "In all these cases the bonds of society are broken, the state is divided into two portions in dependent of each other, and which no longer recog nise any common head, and the war between them is subject to all the rules of international war. They are bound to observe the ordinary laws of war; in fact, the personal ally of the depsed king cannot assist him against the nation, which, in deposing him, has only used its right—if he undertakes to do so, he is guilty of a crime against the liberty of the nation." We trust that this question is now set at rest, and that we shall have no more twaddling Abvrdeenisms about " insurgent juntas" " fomtnting rebellion," &c. &c. The authority of VATTEL is on such a point somewhat superior to thst of even "cet excellent ABERDEEN." That the Sicilians come within the category contemplated by VAT rEL is fully proved in a pamphlet recently published by RIDGWAY, en " Sicily and England." This pamphlet, written, we believe, under the immediate superintendence of Prince GRANAI ELLI, goes fully into the whole ques tion, and as every assertion in it is supported by vouchers, it is an invaluable record for the future historian.

It is with regret that we have to announce the sudden demise of Mr. Justice Coltman, for many years one of the Puisne Judges of the Court of Common Pleas. The learned deceased Judge had been in a weak state of health for some time, and had recently suffered from the effect of a severe fall from his horse. On Monday night he complained of indisposition, which gradually grew upon him in the course of yesterday, the symptoms being stated to indicate cholera, from which he hut slightly rallied, and expired at his residence 8, Park-gardens at seven o'clock this morning. The deceased Judge, though not eminent for the display of brilliant abilities eitht•r at the bar or on the bench, was generally esteemed for the suavity and amiability of his manners. We do not know his exact age, btfl it could not be far from three score and ter. The last occasion on which he officiated as judge was at the Central Criminal Court last Saturday, in trying Prince Granatelli and his coadjutors for fitting out Eng lish steam-vessels to take part in the Sicilian insurrec tion. We may say truly, "in the midst of life we are in death."

" THE HUNGARIAN NATION COUNTS ON THE SYMPATHY OF EVERY NATION WHICH LOVES RIGHT AND Ll- EERTY."—Kosauth's Protest against Russian Ihterven- tion. [The Testimonial for the Hungarian refugees— originally prcposed by ourselves in the leaddig ar ticle published in The Sun of Tuesday, the 3d of July, and reprinted in our impression of Monday, the 9th instant—has not merely accumulated to a considerable amount under our own auspices, but has elicited the earnest and cordial co-operation of seve ral of the most distinguished Members of the Impe rial Legislature. To say that we are deeply rejoiced at this noble response to our call would be but an inadequate expression of our profound feeling.; of gratification. It affords us an eloquent and very audible assurance, that while so 'urge a portion of the press of England is hounding on the united forces of Austro-Russian despotism on the heroic Hungarians, we are very far indeed from being isolated in our sympathy for the patriotism of the Magyars. No; the people of these islands, men of almost every class and section of the community, have, either by word of mouth, or through written communications, or through subscriptions to the Testimonial, proclaimed to us that our sentiments are re-echoed by thousands throughout the United Kingdom. And now, as a crowning confirmation that neither the multitude, nor the representatives of the multitude, are disposed to regard with indifference the dastardly neglect of the Hungarians, we may point with very allowable elliodons of exultation to the formation of the Committee of Members of Parliament, described in the subjeieed announcement—a Committee which has been constituted for the purpose of carrying out the objects originally suggested by ourselves. It will be observed that the Chairman of ±his Committee is the It•ght Honourable Lord NUGENT, M.P., a Nobleman who (it will not very speedily tae forgoit n) - was the first to respond to our proposi ion, and the first to transmit to us a subscription to the Testimonial. Our sub- scribers—we mean our subscribers to the Hungarian Testimonial - will be interested to learn that, pre vious to the formation of the Committee, its fu• we Chairman, Lord NUGENT, himself pro ceeded to Fulkstone, for the purpose of observing what might be the actual condition of the brave but unfortunate refugees. There he found these sixty five Hungarian Hussars, headed by three non-com missioned officers, and presenting all those appear ances of toil, weariness, and privation which now just eight days ago we ourselves mentioned. A large barn hat been appropriated to the con venience of the exiled soldiers ; and there, with their regimentals hanging about them in tatters, and their physical strength considerably ditninished by their prolonged sufferings, they are awaiting that aid from the generosity of the sympathising English which will enable them to return, newly clothed, newly-armed, and re invigorated ; to the beloved land of their nativity. That will be a noble day for England and for Hungary when this regiment of Hussars shall stand before the President Kos-UTH, and shall say to the Liberator of their ceuntry that they come to proclaim the sympathy of the British people in the Hungarian movement. It is consoling and gratifying to learn that the refugees at Folkestone have already partaken, and are still partaking of the simple, but heart-born hos pitality of the, inhabitants of that seaport the poor cottagers and fishermen carrying to them, morn ing after morning, loaves of bread and other provisions as tokens of their friendship. We have yet further cause for gratification in the circumstance that there were pre sent on the occasion of the formation of the following Committee, the Count LADISLAS TELEEI, the representative of the Hungarian Re public, recently arrived in Landon from Paris, and with this distinguished patriot and diplomatist his fellow•countryman, M. PULSKI. Their feelings are, of course, fully and heartily in accordance with ours in regard to this testimonial from England to Hun gary.—Editor of The Sun.] We, the undersigned, having formed ourselves into a Provi:ionsil Committee to -effort' relict and support to the distress, d fltingarian soldiers now at Folkstone, and to collet:6 subsciiptions to enable them to return to their own country, earnestly invite the contributioiis and co-opera tion u, all par!ies who, either tram sym p athy w th the 11mi-411H-in cause, or on the broad grounds of humanity and hewvolence, tray Li di,poiicd to oncur in the object of the ei)1111120 Contribucions will be received by the several in• miners of the committee and the following hauliers:— Mesrs.

SIR ; I have read your articles on the subject of the Hungarians and their war of independence, with much pleasure, and noticed the subscription list in their favour with far more, and I feel it. would be a dereliction both of duty and humanity were I to refrain from adding my mite of one pound towards alleviating the hardships of those gallant soldiers of their nation now in our country, and thereby expressing my hearty sympathy with (In my humble opinion) their very just cause. My long-cherished and still-continued attachment to the doctrines of Conservatism and social order renders revolutionary principles of every shade hateful to me in the extreme ; but I see only in the present iniquitous proceedings against the Hungarians an uttetnpt, not to quell revolution, but to enslave a tree nation and a brave people. I sincerely hope that English aid and English feeling will be manifested from one end of our island to the other in support of this important subject, despite the eff,,rts of the Absolutist journals, and (oho to the heart of Hungary the cheering intelligence that, if the Ecgli.h Government cannot interfere in her behalf, the English public at least sympathise with her sufferings, unite to comfort and relieve her children, and rejoice in her vic!.ories. You are at liberty to make what use you please of this letter, if you think it wi►l aid the oluie. I remain, Sir, yours very obediently, GEORGE MARSHALL. 26, Bedford street, Plymouth, July 10, 1849.

D'ILYNCOUBT moved the .ecoud reading o; tido Bill. Mr. S. ADAIR would put it to the Right Hon. Gen tleman whether he would persevere with this Bill at so tate a period ot the s-ssion, and under the very peculiar circumi-tances attending the introduction of the mea sure. Last year he had opposed the motion of the lion. Gentleman the Member for Montrose fur a reform of Parliament, on the ground that, considering the state of the country, he did not think it would be ad viseable to effect any change in the constitution. He confessed, however, from what had transpired since, he thought the time had now arriv,d when further re forms were netieEstary. Considering that the Noble Lord at the head ot the Government had conceded that there should be a further extension of the suffrage, he could not see what objection could be urged against the prin ciple of the Bill of the Right lion. Gentleman for shortening the duration of Parliaments. Although he saw no prospect of the measure being carried this session, he felt bound to give it his support. The principle of the Bill was not a new one, and in 110 opinion the Right Hon. Gentleman had !Nisei) left it to thel House to fix the period to which the duration of Parliament should be limited, and he trusted that in the next session some measure would be proposed by ihetn to give effect to the long wished fur and anxious expectations of the people, for further reforms. Should he not be able to proceed with the measure this session to a suceessful issue, he trusted those of the Governmi nt Members who were favourable to gradual ri forms in the I. gi: lative instttution,; of th, country, • ould give this bubiect their serious c.:n.dilerstio.), and convince the unelifiivehiAed masses out of Coors that they were not unmindful ot their claims to be rept esentid in ti.e Commons 'louse Psrli,mr flear.) :sir GEORGE WILY asid vvti. n h s It to. Friend behind trim inLludiced this 8,11, his ti. lee Fiji rid at the head of the Government went at lento into the views he personally held and the Government tutertsilied upon dos questi.n, and as no answer was made to that speech he thought there was an end to the matter. so far as the pit-tent, session was concerned.•-(Hear.) la now, howcv,r, seemed to be o. here i.e. ts its tegatd, therefore, to the question iselt, he did hot b. have dst. any particular discontent existed in the couutr. as its the duration ut Parl.ainent, nor could he bring hiwselt to think that the House would be acing prudently it it sanctioned the escend reeding it this Bill. Under the existing system ot legidation many measures of great public importance ran tnreugh three or f us sessions, and it was therwore highly desirable that all such weasuri 8 should be revived and dispeeed of by ihe same Members who • had first considered them. Limit, however, the duration of Parliament to three years, and such a mode of proceeding would be absolutely impossible; at present public opinion and public ter ling acted as a wholesome check upon the votes of 11,n. Members; and as, from 1b26 to 1841, there were no less then six Parliaments, the average duration of which did nut exceed two years and a half, he thought there was no necessity :or the Bill, and he should, ti-art fore, move that it be read a second time that d y six months. Mr. M. GIBSON said the Right Hon. Baronet seemed to tarok that in consevence ot the Noble Lord's speech upon this question not having been answered, the sub ject ought to be considered as disposed of; and it was, therefore, unneessary for him to dwell at any length ' upon is ; but the real answer to the Noble Lord's speech was the division that followed it. Well, then, notwithstanding the appeal that was made to the gentlemen present when this Bill was first moved for not to support it, there was a decided majority in favour ' of its introduction, and having b 0 decided it would be treating the 116 use with disrespect if they were not to dis cuss its provisions with fairness.—(Hear, hear.) Aud he must be allowed to observe that these divisions were not quite accidental.—(Hear, hear.) The majority ob tained last year in favour of the Ballot was by no means aceidenta,l nor was the majority in f.tvour of the motion for introducing this Bill to shorten the duration of Par liaments. Some Honourable Members were reluctant to vote against popular rights, and although he would not go the length of saying they would, if requested by the Government, come down; and re cord their votes against these measures, he was quite convinced that their absence was not always quite acci dental. Being left to themselves, they preferred rather to go away than remain to vote against a measure for .extenAng popular rights, and these majorities ought not to be treated as accidents which did not convey the feel ing of the House on matters of reform —(Hear.) With regard to the immediate question itself, he did think that a shorter period of time for the duration of Parlia ments would art us a wholesome check up el the pro ceedings of Members of the House, and he thought that shortening their duration was more tees ssary now than it could have been at any former ' time, for the House was now called upon to dial with 60,000.000/. taxation annually levied upon the people, while the Government exercised a gi eat amount of pa tronage in the mansgeo_:eht or Crowds-lands and the dis posal of Church livings, which gave them easy unesn, , to tamper with the votes of Members, aid it theri.tora be came more necess try now that there should be a more repeated apt cal to the constituencies, order to es; a fawn a in re wholesotnec .n rut ..v. r mbars of Pail a urent.—(l.lear, hear.) Let them c aiot!er far one mu- Inept what was the inducement now for Wmbers to go into boroughs ; and atter previous oursiag there to expend large sums of money in bribing the iketora? W by ma w! ) that alter I:is return he (amid s-t the elec tors at defiance for six years, awl indulge in soma of the pt•kit ga hat droaed out of the Treasury. Now, it he tetted that every two )ears he had to g before the el c. tors, it would nut be worth his while to spend money In nursing the borough and bribing the voters, but under the exit jig law the money t'e vela in that way was lo,lteti upon as a very good ievesitni nt. It they were metre in their desire to introduee trees: provisions into the law for the prevention of oriber) and cerrupiion at elections, they must not re-ails that coal parative fixity ot ti cure weich Members had in their seats in that idolise. It the duration of Parliatneht was shurteerd, the conduct of M-mb ,, rs would be somewhat different when they pr. seated themselves on the hustings, and the unbecoming system of giving pledges would be done away with.—(Hear, hear.) He looked upon this subject as one of very great importance, told nothing that could be done with respect to the fran chise or the ballot would re of any real advantage so long as the duration of Parliament was erelenged, and so long as thi re existed in the hands of the EXrelltlVU large amount of funds, as well as patronage and places, for the purpose of either dirt ctly or indirectly influencing the conouct of Memb -ra. It they repealed Septeursial Parliaue Drs. th , y would at once go hack to the Tti euutet Act, wirch stood rett4 made for them on the Statute-hot k- (Hear, hear)—there would be no going into Committee and discussing clauses, and theretore he thought the proposition of his Hon. Friend tv..s the most fit one that could be adopted at this period of the session. —(Hear, hear.) The question was not a cem plicated one, but simply whether they should restore the ancient law ut the country, which was departed from, not permanently, but simply _ because the reigning family at the time was so unpopular that it was neces sary to prolong Parliament in order to secure their tenure upon the throlie. That reason, however, did not now exist, and he saw nothing to prevent theta at once returning to Triennial Parliaments. He hoped that his honourable Friend would persevere with the measure, for he was sure that he would carry with him the opinion of the people out of Coors. lie trusted that the Honourable Gentlemen opposite would net treat it as a rock ahead,—that they would give no pledges to where to the existing forms of Parliamenie for depend upon it, the question would come before them ere iong. He never felt more sure of anything in his life than that that would be the case.—(hear, hear.) He would advise them not to raise the cry of " No sur render," which, with respect to the free-trade question, had brought their party into its present coefLcting state. If the old 'Tory party should again resume power, as he had no doubt would be the case, he would undertake to say that this reform questien would present itself in a very formidable aspect. He would caution them not to come into power pledged to oppose all changes in the consti tution of Parliament, for if they did, some great quarrel or split would happen in their party, which would lead, perhaps, to the *awe scenes that were witnessed at the time of the tree-trade debates. In a progressive country like England, it was impossible that such a questiou could be considered irrevocably settled.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. BERNAL said he was surprised that his Right Hon. Friend, with his ability, Upright intention, and ex perience, should have adopted such a line of argument. He had stated as one 'Alison for supporting the Triennial Act, that ltlembi re of Parliament were not -t the) pulled at. the Treasury angels of ['wiry, and that b-nchee" tor their own individual aggrandisement. He (Mr. Berea!) would now tell him openly and man fully that this was all humbug and delusion. —(Loud cheers.) He agreed that the system of giving pledges on the hustings was di.greceful, but he thought the constituents had ati übigatien on their bide, and that they ought to look to, the duties or a Member of Parliament in a more serious light than they slid. But when he said he repudiated pledges, he begged to say that he tepuniated tabu the doctrine ot speaking to constituents."—(Hear, hear.) lie had no objet ion is sl.orten the term of Pat hatneut, but let it be amour partied by vote bt bullet, and bi other returns measures, which would purify what was called she Augeati Mr. HUME said that Ito one could fur a teorneu. imagine that the preseitt State of the eensilluency w a s one which would satisfy the country. lie fur one cti• tettained exr.mr view. on this ,übj et, and was perhep prepars d to go furtle r than west lion.

But he must caution them, 1 1 that he 1° one culd not centinue to suppert a Governn 3 en t e which refused its countenance to all kinds of retbrmi as the present Government appeared to do. They would not go on one step towards rni asures of reform, while the/ knew that many ef their warmest supporters wer e anxiously desirous. In the present state ot the MAO ;he friends of reform were actually tupporting st reform Government. There were millions of inert in this country who co u t r ib ute d t o i ts support i n a very gr eat proportion, upon wh m its strength depended, whet° circumstances entitled teem to be brought within the pale of the conttitution, but were refused it. This dangerous proc:etling might continue too long , He recollected, though nrreay Bleenbers in that Hour might not, when Mr. Huskisson stood up in his place in Parliament, and declared that he had heard argument s of such a nature, as obliged him to give his support t° the Bill for i he extension of the suffrage to Birmingham; and on the next morning he was obliged to leave th e Cabinet.—(Hear, hear.) Well, what followed in ° short time ? Why, a complete and total re: form. Such, too, was t h e course of things w ith regard to the corn-law. He to_.k the Noble Lord at die head of the Gevernment to be a friend to reform, sa d also the Htght Hoe Baronet at the head of the Horde 'perm. nt, and he conjured her MajestY? Government to reflect, b e f ore t h ey set the't faces against Relorm, what might b e th e consequence‘' He was, however, going to take an o pp os i te cou rse t° that which he had heretofore taken. Before the Reforlo, Bill he advocated the propriety of r e t urn i ng to tr i e nnia' Parliaments; and, indeed, last session he voted in stir port of is motion having that object in view, but hay.i°l taken the lib-sty of exercising his own e y es nn ears he had come to the opinion, !oohing at the state the House had been brought to since th e passing of the Reform Bill, that it would be impossibl e to conduct the pubic business properly if Parliament s were reduced to three years in duration. Indeed, thes e who advocated drover Parliaments showed, in the.ih; verse ratio, their incapacity to govern.—(Laughtee.,, As far as hi s rea di ng Bu d exper i ence had Wr,y; him, he consid ere d that the greatest gift heav e" had bestowed upon man was the power git of ruling. He delieertied the f oo li s h an d si ll y ground s upon which som. , of the best servents in that House ha' lost their seats, and 'lamented the m. ans and difficull that had been experienced in returning them.—(l l e° hear.) He was of the same opinion as the Hon. Gel s 4 tleman who had just sat d own — t h at the f ranc hi se ough t to be extended. He was quite decided upon that)" but he confessed he looked with exceeding suspicie° upon those who advocated the Charter—because found that the advocates of the fire points were those who represented the persons who were ready to Ma l l that counter revolution in France, of which they In% heard so much, and also had sympathised with thetas? suffering martyrs. Itideed, he found that they epee thised with the disturbers of peace all over EuroPei He believed it would be impossible to have a House °, Lords and a hereditary S overe i gn , if suc h pr i nc iple: were to prevail, and the whol e po wer o f th e Governmell' were r. pes , el in that Ileuse alone. Mr. HUME denied it altogether, and ch a ll eng ed. OA Hen. Gentleman to prove that he hail ever used 4 ° 4 ex e ressums ut se ;apathy with the di s t ur b ers of t° peare. Mr DRUMMOND said the Hon. Gentleman had Be. all she world ea. advercine--let us ; we w e re once s t the head of tto-nn, but now we are at the bottom. Frans" virtu% now the highest. Mr. 11U AE—That has nothing to do with it. Mr. BlaGta explaiired that the last person t° o whom the remark " pulling at the Tree , tufl j ceugo be applied wa s hi s IL , uoura bl e F r io° the Member ter Rochester (Mr. Bernal). Neil theless, the Govettiment possessed much Chtlre pa tentage, which w as e ceial to money value, and he h e ; liev.-d that the l' r easu r y exerc i se d muc h more i n fluent over Miuis , ers durin g Parliaments o t six air seven years duration than they could it th e y were s h orter . DO bleb• s might net be known, but Members were 03 °,,'", likely to attend to the wishes of their constit" t , ents if they appeared oftener on the beat dogs. It was notoritius that since the ex.; tion of the present Parliament greater deference bad been paid to the popular will than during n. ti i ‘i former period. In 1720, Burke, speaking of septehn t h , Parliaments, said, that annual Parliaments, which '4 supperted, prevented that corruption of the deputies " 4 the Miuister which must result in P a rlia men t s of 1014' 0 duration. Tnere could be no doubt that the sta te of things mentioned by Burke was in existen at the present moment. His Honourable C o lleague WI alluded to pledges.
