LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST RAILWAY. sons why the Commo , is should be averse from altering the opinion they originally expressed upm this point. The arguments certainly remained the same, but any doubts which they might have entertained that the real object of the experiment was to neutralise the general effects of the enfran chisement effected by the bill must have been removed by the candid avomals of those by whom the obnoxious amendment was made. Without once more going into the general merits of the question, it must be admit to 1 that, under the proposed Aysteln, those constituencies which, in consequence of their suj)posed importance, have received three members, would have been much better off if they had been left:with two. If the minority should succeed in ob taining a representative, he might be said to pair with one of his colleagues, and, as Mr. Bright sug gested, the practical effect would be that Manchester, with its three members, would have less weight in Parliament than the adjoining borough of Salford, with two members. Arguments, however, had no weight with men who were prepared to follow Mr. Disraeli into any lobby into which he might be pleased to lead them, and the result was that the house by a majority of 49 alsrmed a proposition which but a few weeks since it negatived by the much greater majority of 140.. A proposal to except. the City of London from the operation of the amendment was. negatived by a somewhat larger majority; and the house then, after a brief debate, rejected the amendment providing for the employ ment of voting papers. minorities should be agreed to. Before this amend ment came on the Conunsns had sufficiently vindi cated their independence by summarily rejecing three alterations of the Lords of small importance. Mr. Bright proposed the rejection of this amend ment in a speech which, extremely weak as a piece of argument, was exceptionally strong as a piece of declamation, and a debate ensued remarkable until Mr. Gl.dstone rose only by a singularly able speech from Mr. Knatclibull-Hugessen, who dispozed of Mr. Bright's contentious with a debating power for the Foss ssion of hich no one had given him credit. Mr. Gladstone spoke under the convic tion of defea'. His forced laugh showed the passions he tried to smother, and the singular self-contradictions in which he involved himself exhibited the mental confusion which his irrita tion had induced. Once or twice rising into a passage .of eloquent declamation, he kept for the most part in a tedious level of hysterical emotion, exhausting himself and wearying the house only to deliver a speech which it would have been well for his reputation if the reporters had conspired to suppress. We cannot attempt now to put in their due juxtaposition the extraordinary jumble of con tradictiods which the right hon. gentleman's speech exhibited. Now he was calling the principle a new and now an old one ; now he was declaring that minorities had no right to representation, and now insisting that minorities are already represented in virtue of the excellent arrangements of our old con stitution ' • now be said that Arundel and lloniton represented the minority of Liverpool and Man chester, and now he declared his desire to disfran chise Arundel argils Heihiten, _whilst still refusing direct representation - tb -. th - Ose 'minorities ; now he professed his desire to accept the bill as a settle ment, and now he -insisted that the redistribution scheme was so imperfect that, leaving the represen tation of minorities clause out of the question, it could not be tolerated for a single year. As Mr. Lowe, in his short and telling speech, said, Mr. Gladstone answered himself. And Liberal mem bers, half convinced of the justice of the principle by Mr. Bright's failure to find any decent objection to it, may well have been satisfied by Mr. Glad stone's painful failure that it deserved their cordial support. By a decisive majority the house adopted the amendment relative to the three-cornered con stituencies, and by a still more decisive majority affirmed the enfranchisement of the minority of the City of London, against which Mr. Crawford natu rally made his protest. We regret very much -to have to record that the other and equally important amendment of the Peers was rejected by a majority as decisive as that which adopted the clause for the representation of minorities. The Chancellor of the Exchequer sought to conciliate opposition by confining the use of voting papers to the counties, but the Commons would not have them even in this limited shape, and so the disfranchisement of the old, infirm, and timid is continued. Mr. Bright cannot prevent two-fifths of the electors of Bir mingham from returning a candidate of different opinious to his, if they will only take the trouble and incur the risk of recording their votes, but he can still make that expression of their wishes in convenient and perilous. If he cannot gag them by a majority of voters he can practically do it by the machinery of a mob. The question now is, What will the Lords do? We assume that they will accept the bill in the shape in which it is re turned to them. One of the amendments upon which they laid most stress has been accepted ; and as for the voting papers, if the Government, whose child the plan was, is content to sacrifice it, their lordships will hardly peril the bill by insisting upon retaining it. POST.—The result of the proceedings in the House of Commons last evening will surprise most persons and give satisfaction to comparatively few. It will astonish those who have hitherto been under the impression that members of Parliament re corded their votes in accordance with their political convictions, and not in blind obedience to the arbi trary dictates of a party leader, while it will shock those who regard the fundamental institutions of the country as something too sacred and too valuable to be overthrown or bartered away at a moment's notice for the mere sake of effecting a compromise. Notwithstanding the immense majority by which the House of Commons disallowed the principle that minorities in certain constituencies were entitled to special provisions to enable them to return re presentatives, it last evening reversed that decision, not because its opinion was changed, but because it was deemed expedient to obey the bidding of a Minister who, on the same issue on a former occa sion, had given it precisely different advice. The amendment of the Lords, limiting the number of votes to be given by electors in constituencies re turning three or more members, was agreed to at the close of a debate in which Mr. Bright made one of the most powerful speeches delivered during the present session. The other amendments made by the Lords, with the exception of two or three of a mere verbal nature, were rejected. That of the Marquis of Salisbury, introducing the system of voting papers, though modified by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, so as to apply alone to county elections, was rejected by a majority of 52 in a house of 469 members, inclusive of the Speaker and tellers. It was known that the Chancellor of the Exchequer would in the first instance state the course which her Majesty's Government was prepared to take with respect to the amendments, and this circumstance, no less than the importance of the issue to be raised, brought together the fullest house that probably ever met on the 7th of August. Mr. Disraeli's statement was brief and to the point. In the three material amendmentswhich had been effected by the Lords, her Majesty's Go vernment, he said, were prepared to concur. These amendments were the omission of the clause intro duced by the House of Commons lowering the elec toral qualification of copyholders in counties, the insertion of Lord Cairns's provision for securing the representation of minorities, and the introduction of the clause enabling electors to record their votes by means of voting papers. A fourth amendment, Mr. Disraeli reminded the house, had been made by the Lords, but subsequently withdrawn—that raising the lodger franchise. To that amendment, had it been insisted on by the Upper House, her Majesty's Government would have found themselves obliged to advise the House of Commons to refuse its assent. In conclusion, the Chancellor of the Exchequer jus tified the course taken by the Government, on. the ground that the Upper House had attacked none of the fundamental priutiples of the bill, that they dealt with it in a conciliatory spirit, and that it therefore became the duty of the Commons to defer to the opinion of the Lords in those minor points on which it differed from their own. In order, how ever, to estimate the true nature of the concessions which Mr. Disraeli asked the house to make, as well as the spirit in which they were conceived, one was unavoidably compelled to recall not only the course taken by the House of Commons, but by the Go vernment, in dealing originally with those parti cular subjects which were once more put in issue by the Lords' amendments. The copyhold franchise in counties was lowered in obedience to the wishes of the majority of the House of Commons, though contrary to the inclination of the Government. The proposition to restrict the elective powers of voters in constituencies return ing 'more than ontw two a division, by b wasy a vehemently op posed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and was rejected, majority. The suggestion of voting papers-was in the first instance made by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. It was supported by him and his col leagues when brought in a substantive form before the House, but was nevertheless rejected. It there fore appears that in counselling moderation and concessions to the !louse of Commons in respect to these three important amendments, the Chancellor of the Exchequer was, as regarded two of them, ad vising the house to withdraw the disapproval it had expressed of his own particular poli c y. Of time conciliatory spirit manifested by the Lords, it was not inaptly observed by Mr. Gladstone that it was evinced chiefly, if not exclusively, in dealing with those proposals which emanated from the Govern ment. Amendments which owed their origin to members of the Opposition had not, as he pointed out, been treated in a spirit which most persons would have been inclieel to regard as one of conci liation.. The House proceeded to the consideration of the amendments in a spirit which clearly indi cated that it was unconvinced by the reasoning of its present recognised chief. Sir .Roundell Palmer proposed the rejection of the modification made in the bill by the Lords respecting the electoral quali fications of persons occupying chambers in the uni versities, and his motion was carried without a divi sion. The House next dealt with the amendment restoring the copyhold franchise as fixed by the Reform Act of 1832, and, after a brief discussion, this amendment was disagreed to on a division. by a majority of 47. It is rather singular that it was by precisely the same majority that the House of Commons originally introduced the clause which, after being erased by the Lords, it has now once more restored to the bill.

The Lord DE MAULEY moved the second reading of the Church Rates Abolition Bill. He stated that he regretted a more able speaker was not to propose the second reading of a bill on a subject of such vital importance to the public. In this matter he was influenced ,by no acrimony, no party spirit, no wish to be obstructive, but he was desirous, and had given this subject the preference, that there should be a settlement of this church rate question, especially as the new Reform Bill, when it came into operation, would introduce a class of persons to whom church 'rates would bo most obnoxious. He thought that it was possible that a compromise might be entered into between the opposing parties, but in the meantime lie believed that this bill would strengthen the authority ,of the Church, and do away with much of the hostility and animosity which now ex isted against Churchmen. It was most desirable that some settlement and conclusion on this subject should bo come to as soon as possible. Lord DELAMERE moved that this bill be read a second time that day three months. lle said that it would be found that where there was a majority in a parish in favour of church rates the rate was passed, but when there was a minority it was not. Now, by this bill they were proposing to sweep away the only law which pro tected the church with regard to church rates, and they were told that because the church had done so much they must now do away with the very inadequate law which belongol to it and protected it. He then animadverted upon the lib.3rties at present en joyed by the Dissenters, and although he did not deny that the Church of England was opera to every one, yet if they liked to take advantage of it they ought not object to pay for it. If Quakers wore to pay for ships of war andother warlike impleinents, why should not Dis senters pay towards the Established Church ? If total abo lition passes through both houses, it would be impossible to maintain the present system in Scotland. Personally lie, would give the greatest amount of conscientious liberty to every denomination of religiouists ; but he cool d not do otherwise than protest against a m ensure which was calculated to depreciate the position of Churchmen,and filleted the words of Mr. Gladstone as to the inadvisability of carrying out what the bill proposed. He finally urged upon them the amendment which he had just proposed. Lord ST. LEONAIIDS objected to the bill on the ground that it was preposterous to take away the legal right which the Church had to levy a church-rate. When afterwards it was collected it would only be a gift or a dole which was given in exchange for the abolishing of a legal right. Lord RUSSELL was understood to support the bill, but beyond a few disjointed words and fragments of sen tences his lordship's romarks from first to last were almost wholly inaudible. After a few words from Lord HARROWBY, to the effect that it would be better not to raise the rate com pulsorily, The Archbishop of CANTERBURY said the Church was not averse from a compromise on this subject, and why it had not been carried out before was simply because the terms offered to the Church wore such as she could not possibly accept. He should certainly vote against the se cond reading of the bill. The Duke of MARLBOROUGII was not prepared to deny that there were some serious grievances under the present system, but they were bound to remember that the promoters of the bill did not propose a fair solution or fair compromise of the question. The question with them was simply one of establishment or no establishment. At pre sent he feared there was little chance of a compromise, for the Dissenters seemed by their measures to aim at the abolition of the Church with the church-rates. After a few earnest words from the Bishop of Oxford, deprecating such a sweeping measure, and a brief state ment from Lord Taunton that ho should vote for the se cond reading of the bill, and from Lord Romney that ho should voto against it, The house thou divided, when there were for tho bill — Contents Non-contents Majority The bill was therefore lost. In committee on the Banns of Matrimony Bill a discus sion arose, in which the Bishops of Gloucester and Ox ford opposed the first clause, and Lords Granworth and Houghton supported it. Lord Derby suggested an omis sion of the clause, but Lord Houghton preferred to divide the houso, which was accordingly done, when there ap peared for the clause— Contents Nun-contents Majority The other clauses were then agreed to, and the bill passed through committee. On the motion of the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Courts of Law (Ireland) Bill was road a *second time. Several bills were advanced a stage, and the other orders of the day having been disposed of, their lordships ad journed at a quarter-past 8 o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS—LAST EVENING.

It of the was sat i s f ac t o ry to know that, with the exception qualification for the lodger franchise, the House of Lords had accepted the provisions of that house for the extension of the franchise. It was exceedingly satisfactory to know that, when the House of Lords became better acquainted With what had tap plao ig 019 110509# c9allupo, rttleM.... 44. STAMPED sd. _~ all classes in a c4nmunify. As to the antiquity of our - present system, this was one of the improvetnen6 of modern civilisation, from which great- results might bo expected. On a division, the Lords' amendment - was carried by 253 to 201. The next amendment was consequent;-on the last, awl provided for the case of the city of London, restricting the number of votes to be given by each elector to three. Its rejection was moved by M. Crawford, seconded by Afiermen Lawrence, but on a division it was ratified by 25?. to 188. Severe.; unimportant amendments were agreed to, and the voting imper clause was the.v. taken. The CtIAI4CELLOR of the E KCIIEQUEII, with a view to -facilitating a compromise, pruposed to omit boroughs from its operation, but Mr. GLADSTONE declined to accept it, and moved that the house disagree with the tuner Intent. The clause was supported by Mr. Hardy, and opposed by Mr. Dodson, Mr. Torren:, ?Ix. Villiers, and Mr. 13,1glit, who urge 1 that it would lead wholesale' manufacture of fictitious votes, to fraud, and intimidation, and spoke with groat dissatisfaction of th.• machinery provid , d by the Lords; by Mr. Mill, who declared that. he would pre fer no bill at all to ono saddled with such a condition; and by Mr. Newdogato. Mr. DISRAELI'S amendment was agreed to, but on a division the clause was rejected by a majority of 52-2 a to 206. Another clause, containing further arrangements for giving the borough franchise to the resident members of the Universities, was struck out by 188 to 161. The other amendments were disposed of, and a committee was appointed to draw up reasons to be assigned to the Lords for disagreeing with their amendments. The Army Reserve Bill was road a third time and passed. Some other orders were forwarded a stage, and the house adjourned at a quarter past two o'clock. they at once restored the qualification to the figure it originally stool at, and such a proceeding showed, ho thought, the greatest desire on the part of their lordships to act with unanimity in pissing an act of such great importance. There were three amendments, however, which lie would more particularly refer . to, and the first was that made with respect to clause 5, which diminished the amount of the copyhold or leasehold franchise; and as their lordships were of opini-n that the mitt , r as settled by the Act of 1832 should not be departed from, her Majesty's Go vernment were of opinion that the house ought to accept the amendment. The next amen lment that had been made in the other house was that their lord ships had re- introduced a clause which had been rejected in that house, viz., a clause as to the manner and mode in which the voter should exerejso and register his franchise. The clause laid it down that in constituencies returning three mem bers no person should vote for more than two can didates. That clause was carried by an almost over whelming majority, and the Government felt that in con sideration of the almost unanimous voice of the House of Lords that decision ought to be deferred to. (Hear, hear, from the Government side of the house.) Although ho did not approve of the principle, yet in regarding the manner in which the bill had been discussed and carried, and her Majesty's Government acting in the spirit of conciliation, thought it both prudent and proper 'to support the decision the House of Lords had arrived at. (" Hear, hear," from the Ministerial side of the house.) The third amendment related to a clause which had been omitted by that house from the bill when iewas originally introduced by the Govern ment—he meant the clause relating to voting papers. (Hear.) He was not about to enter into the merits or deme rits of such a proposition, it had been fully discussed in that house on former occasions, and doubtless would bo so again; but he would say that if the amendment was adopted it would load to a great enfranchisement, because, doubtless, there were a groat many persons under the present system who never recorded their votes. (Hear. hear.) But it was said the proposition would tend to personation and corruption—(hear, hear, and loud cheers from the Opposition side of the house) —but it must be borne in mind that that objectionable state of things occurred at present. (Hoar, hear.) Under all the circumstances her Majesty's Government had come to the conclusion, in consideration of the conciliatory tone in which the House of Lords had dealt with the bill, to recommend to that house the acceptance of th e amendment of the House of Lords. (Loud cheers from the Ministerial side of the house.) He therefore invited the house to enter at once into a consideration of the amendment, and hoped that the result of their deliberations would be satisfactory to both branches of the Legislature and the country. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) Mr. GLADSTONE congratulated the House that one formidable difficulty, viz., that relative to the alteration of the lodger franchise had been got rid of —(hear, hear) — and he readily bore his testimony to the courage and deci sion with which the Earl of Derby acted on the occa sion. However, he thought the amendments made by the Lords were of a reactionary nature, therefore the less they said about the conciliatory spirit in which the bill had been discussed in the other house the bettor. The house then proceeded to consider the first amend ment of the Lords in clause 3, the effect of which was to make the voters in the new boroughs pay the borough rate as well as the poor rate. After a short discussion, the house disagreed with their lordships' amendment. Another amendment in the same clause, inserted to give votes as lodgers to resident graduates and undergraduates was opposed by Sir IL Palmer, supported by Mr. Lowther, and ultimately disagreed with. On the next amendment—the omission of clause 5, which reduced the copyhold and leasehold qualifications to on the .£s— division took place, and the clause was restored, motion of its author, Mr. Colville, supported by Mr. H. Vivian, by a majority of 47 235 to 188. The next amendment was Lord Cairns's clause for the representation of minorities, the rejection of which was moved by Mr. BRIGHT, who condemned it as a restriction of electoral power, and pointed, out to those who, like Mr. Mill, supported it more as a mode of representing every body tint", like Lord Cranborne, as a corrective of the democratic tendencies of the bill, that it would create such ill-feeling in the country as for a long time to prevent the consideration of any comprehensive scheme such as Mr. Hare's. To Mr. Disraeli's single plea for accepting it, ho replied that the commons had originally rejected the idea by a large majority, and insisted that on a point affecting their own constitution the vete of the House of Commons was of more authority than that of the Lords. The scheme had never been asked for by any constituency, it had never been discussed in the country, and the least the house could do was t 9 suspend its decision un til the idea had become more familiar. The clause, he argued, would extinguish the political life of the country; it would nullify the boon conferred on the four gre at towns, each of which would for the future in all divisions on great political questions be represented by one member. He avowed that had ho suspected the house would sanction this scheme he would have voted against giving these towns a third member; and, after showing that it would be inapplicable to by-elections, caused either by the death or the appointment to office of some member for a minority, he concluded by a powerful denunciation of the scheme as utterly inconsistent with constitutional principles. The discussion was continued by Mr. Boresford Hope, who supported the clause, and when ho sat down it nar rowly escaped a premature extinction. For a moment as or two no member rose to continue, and the Speaker w putting the question, when Sir J. C. JerVOiSe rose and made some observations, which were understood to be favourable to the clause. r. C. BUXTON also supported it, and replied to Mr. Bright that it would rather stimulate the political life of the country, as by giving minorities the chance of carrying a candidate it would lead them to take a more active in terest in politics than at present. Sir C. RUSSELL opposed it as a member for a three cornered constituency, characterising it as a measure of disfranchisement,, and ridiculing the Suggestion that 12 minority members would be of any avail in correcting the democratic tendencies of the bill. KNATOLIBULL-HUGE3SEN, who warmly sup ported the scheme, maintained that Mr. Bright's opposition to it proceeded from his desire to arrive at equal electoral districts and the concentration of power in the hands of the great towns. Arguing the question entirely front a non-party point of view, he pointed out that the clause would open a channel for introducing into Parliament men of eminence who might have lost their seats in times of popu l ar commotion, and that it would interest in politics large classes of intelligent men who now hold aloof alto gether, a nd would lead to the representation of men as w ell as of communities. Mr. sGOSCHEN argued that minorities were already over-represented; that the plan woul make dist districts and personal as oppo sed to local represe ntation er dwelt oa the injustice of diminishing- the electoral ptioiewvil.f the great towns which had done s; fi m .. u s e c h w t d o_r ., s t ; .2.. and Mr. The clause was supported by Hubbard, and Mr. Gladstone deplored the decisionthe of the Government, though he did not censure it, difficulties of their position, and that mafnywlcioienhstitriartoiounsos might have to be kept in view by could know little, but pointed outtthllileannitd god its mind, iofeittaNtivere carried it would not be because the liouz to waive its opinion. but because it had been He insisted that if whatP°laresudes. rted by two different sec cribed as a mischievous innovation—which was supi . ) o lions, ono of which and the other dis thought it so limited in its application n universal system of personal as to be practically of no importance, corned in it the germ ofd oBpted, it would have to be applied representation— aand roust lead to a reconstruction of ' to the whole cot:fel-7, ro himself personally the plan our electoral sy would be beneficisatle,To:r the party which had mainly elected weakest m t.ho. constituency, but he disclaimed him was the I neo all &sift) to wit La the House except as the mem binrafLovrn, mnior ity. He dwelt with force on the injustice inflicted on these great towns by curtailing them of their electoral power, and urged that longer time should be gluon to consider so important a change, for it was only nine days since it bad been laid before the public. He urged that the general minority was already represeuteil by the small boroughs, and that, if it were desired to give representatives to the minorities in the large towns, the seats might to be taken from the small boroughs and not from the majorities. Protesting stron,ly against the re presentation of persons as opposed to the representation of communities, and showing how absurdly the plan would work in the case of by-elections, he urged the House not to give these groat towns, the centres of political thought and energy, so powerful a provocation to agitate against the bill. Mr. LOWE replied to Mr. Gladstone, pointing out nume rous inconsistencies in his arguments, and reminding him, in answer to his complaint of want of time for considera tion, that as far back as 18 54 he h ad been party to a bill containing the same plan. Both Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Bright had been misled by the fallacy that the majority was the constituency. They overlooked the minority alto gether, and there was no reason why the representatives of minorities should be mere delegates or less local repre sentatives than the members for majorities. The aim of these plans was to give to these communities a representa tion corresponding to the state of opinion in them, and the . argument on which he supported it was that the worship of numbers was a political superstition, and that the true OLld representation was to reprosont 84 g-9 ray as possiDle ~~ ~~. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. lIERALD.—We do not know whether any vote given in the divisions of last night was determined by the debate. It is the fashion to assume that divisions are never influenced by speeches, and although we believe the assumption to be far too sweeping we will not now quarrel with it. But certainly if it may be supposed that votes can be affected by speeches, there were two delivered yes terday evening singularly calculated to influence the decision of the House of Commons. They were made by the leader of the House and the leader of the Opposition, but their effect—an unintentional although not altogether unrehearsed one—was un doubtedly the same. They, we will not say induced ' any member, but almost persuaded a good many, to vote for the most important of the Lords' amend ments to the Reform Bill. The Chancellor of the Exchequer displayed in the speech in which he re commended the House of Commons to accept the principal amendments of the Peers even more of consummate appreciation of the spirit of parliamen tary government and of happy tact than he has shown during the whole session. He first drew the attention of the Commons to the fact that although this bill was of the largest and most comprehensive character the Peers had challenged no one of its principles, and had left the franchise it established unchanged, except on one small .and unimportant point. They bad made two alterations of import ance—one in the teeth of the Government and against its most strenuous opposition ; the other a restora tion of a clause contained in the bill as originally adhered to, being supported by an overwhelming majority of the Peers. The first it with some re luctance assented to, and recommended the House of Commons to do so likewise. Mr. Disraeli de clared that his own opinions upon the principle of the representation of minorities were unchanged ; but he said that he felt that the alMost unanimous vote of. the Lords ought to be deferred to, and asked the House of Commons to recognise the rights of the Upper House, and its bearing in this matter, and give way. We should not, of course, put the ad vocacy of the Lords' amendment upon such a ground ; but this was the only argument the Go vernment could consistently urge in favour of its acceptance, and it was an argument which must have commended itself to the minds of many of those who regard the principle of the representation of minorities with much suspicion.
