The CHANCELLOR of the: EXCHEQUER then rose and was also very cordially received. He said_ My noble friend has express ed my views and feel ings so completely that it In ay appear mere surplus age to add a few words ; but I only do so lest I should appear deficient in_ the feeling of gratitude for the expressions of sy.fa pathy which you have offered. There is no doubt that in the difficult and trying circumstances in w . a.',ch the Government un dertook this great measure the sympathy and sup port of their fellow count r men arc of inestimable value. Lord Derby has tc,t ched upon the principal features of the measure wi.ich, under his sanction, has been offered for the con deration of Parliament. We have had extraorlinarraccusations made against that measure. Sometimes it is described vs one which, by its too limited chara , :t.:r, is a. mere mockery, and yet the same individuals in another place speak* of it as of a very,revolutionary character. (Laughter.) But the truth- is that it is a measure which has no claim whatever to the merit or demerit of being any very great change, because it is only a revival of the ancient borough franchise of this country; adapted to the larger circumstances of the age in which we live, and presented to the country free from those obsolete circumstances with which it became invested in course of time. This was the franchise of your fathers and forefathers, under which this country greatly flourished. The merit of that franchise is that it is of an essentially expan sive character. (Cheers.) Notwithstanding the difficulties which we have encountered, I believe this measure will soon become the law of the land.

There was no doubt recently an effort of a faction to defeat the bill, which I am glad to say the good sense of the House of Commons frustrated, and which the spirit of the country has, I am sure, sanctioned. (Loud cheers.) I have myself a lively conviction that there is a sin cere wish on the part of the house to carry this mea sure into effect, and I shall appeal to them with con fidence and cordiality. No doubt we shall receive a great deal of resistance yet, and we have had a fore runner of that in certain letters which have been written lately. (Laughter.) I always observe that when a party takes to letter-writing it is in diffi culties—(laughter)—and we bad a remarkable expression of opinion from a member from Leeds in the paper this morning; but I am sure we shall not be disheartened by these ebullitions. (Cheers and laughter.) I indulge a hope and confidence in the present House of Commons, and I am sure 1 am only speaking the feelings of my colleagues when I say that no partial defeat will induce Lord Derby to withhold his efforts to consummate the great work he has undertaken, and that he will not rest from his labours until we have a measure which will conduce to the happiness of the people and the greatness of the empire.

Yesterday two Conservative deputations waited upon the beads of the Government in reference to the Reform Bill ; the one, formed of working men from Norwich, waiting upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the other, comprising representa tives from about 20 different Conservative associa tions Eat the official resi dencexebequer together. of various parts of the country, upon the Pre of the Cbancellor of the E xchequer, in mßoietrh and u t t h a e t i C o n h s a n w c e e r l leo received Down ing-street. The first deputation was introduced by Mr. E. Howes, M.P., and was headed by Mr. A. Goldsmid, the Conservative candidate at the last election, and Mr. Read, M.P., and Sir W. Bagge, M.P., were also present. Mr. HOWES, in introducing the deputation, con gratulated Mr. Disraeli on the success which had hitherto attended his efforts with regard to the Re form Bill brought by him into the House of Commons. Mr. AMISS, introduced as a working man, was the first speaker, and he said he and the other members of the deputation had been requested, in the name of Conservative wards of Norwich, and on behalf of a public me etin g held iu that city, to express the opinion that the suffra ge offered by the Go v ernment Reform Bill was th e best that had been would offered be to the ben •cerfiotrekd by h i n g men, avi who,having it placed in their they considered, power to raise themselves to the suffrage rather than by having the suffrage lowered to them. He agreed with the clauses upon the personal payment of rating and the compound householders, but he thought that one year's residence would meet the case. That, however, he said, was a point which the working men left to the consideration of the Government, as best able to deal with it, and the working classes had every confidence in the Govern ment.. (Cheers.) Mr. WRIGHT, another working man, said his class had the greatest_ admiration for the Chancellor of the Exchequer ; as one who had always advocated the right of laboui) and though the " other side" pretended to be liberal, it was, in fact, illiberal. The Conservative Government had done what no other Government had offered to do—it had intro duced household suffrage, and had thereby shown its confidence in the working classes. Other questions followed, and The CHANCELLOR of the EXCI!EQtTER replied— I take this opportunity of thanking you for the honour you have done me in waiting upon me to day. I assure you I greatly esteem this honour, because I see this is a deputation formed of working men who have arrived at their conclusions from their own thoughts and experiences, and I value their ex pressions of goodwill the more because they have re spectfully, and at the same time with frankness, offered their criticisms upon the Government mea sure, which, on the whole, they approve. (Hear, and cheers.) Gentlemen, your observations will be duly weighed. With regard to the measures of which you have spoken, Lord Derby and his colleagues have endeavoured by it to' restore to - the working classes the rights of which they were deprived by the Act of 1832. (Cheers.) We hear very much of our measure being a ridiculous measure, of a most limited character, and at the same time of its being a fan ciful and revolutionary measure—(laughter)—but we cannot take credit for the inventions of those who say this, or plead guilty to the accusations which have been made against us. (Cheers.) All we have done is to endeavour to see what is at the bottom of . the general-discontents in -the conntry :with respectto. Parliamentary representation, existing more ar less during the last 35 years. No doubt there have been evil, designing men, who have taken advantage of that discontent to promote their own purposes ; but there is certainly only one opinion with respect to the foundation for that discontent, and that is that the real foundation of it is the way in which the franchise is exercised by the working-classes, espe cially in the boroughs. It is necessary to adapt a measure to the altered circumstances of the country, and what we are endeavouring to do is to restore the old borough franchise to the people. (Cheers.) The " scot and lot" franchise, which had been enjoyed by generations, and under which this country greatly prospered, is really the main feature of this policy, which has been denounced in such dan gerous terms. It is an old English policy, and by it we endeavour to restore the prescriptive rights of the people. (Cheers.) A man who pays his rates, and is a bona fide resident, who shares in the interests, prospects, and feelings of the people among whom he lives and works, is the man in our opinion to whom the franchise may be safely intrusted, as it was intrusted for generations in past times. That is the principle of our Bill, and I sincerely hope that it will be adopted by Parliament. Indeed, Ido believe it will be adopted by Parliament. (Loud cheers.) And I have no doubt when it is, it will be found perfectly satisfactory to the country ; that all these difficulties we have seen will vanish, and that the representative system will be found based upon a sound principle. (Cheers.) There may be many circumstances which may in some degree interfere with the perfect application for a time of this principle ; but I have no doubt myself that this measure will prove perfectly satis factory to the people of this country, because it is founded upon a principle which is popular, which everybody understands, and which has been recog nised in the transaction of our affairs for many ages, and which, if not peculiar, is at least characteristic of the people of this country. I am bound to say myself that the measure is receiving from Parlia ment a candid consideration. Produced by a new Government, in a Parliament not elected under their auspices, and without a pledged majority of their supporters, and though there has been an attempt to divert the exigencies of the moment to the purposes of faction, the measure has been fairly considered, and there is no doubt that the opinion of the majo rity of the House of dommons is with the measure we brought forward, as once calculated to clear away the difficulties of this question. (Cheers.) I need not tell you that Lord Derby would not have under taken the great task in which he has embarked ex cept with the determination to carry it to a success ful consummation. On the part of the Government I will place the measure before the house with con fidence, and if by any chancewe meet difficulties we do not at presentanticipate, weshall not give up the great undertaking we have pledged ourselves to carry out. We hope, under any circumstances, we shall bring it to a happy conclusion, because we have confidence in the strength of public opinion and in the energy and good sense of the people of England. (Loud cheers.) The deputation thanked Mr. Disraeli, and with drew. Shortly afterwards the deputation from the asso ciations waited upon Lord Derby and Mr. Disraeli. This was a very numerous gathering, and was formed principally of the gentlemen who were pre sent at the Conservative Conference of the day be fore. Sir W. Bagge, M.P., introduced the depu tation, and among those present were Lord Erskine, Major-Gen. North, Mr. Gorst, M.P., Mr. Powell, M.P., Mr. liornby, m.p., Mr. W. T. Cox, M.P., 111 r. Feilden, M.P., Mr. G. S. Beecroft, M.P., Lieut.-Col. Sir 11. Edwards, M.P., Mr. C. L. Read, M.P., Mr. Ferrand Mr. Alderman Rose, the Rev. Mr. Foy, &C. Mr. nowtEs, of the Yorkshire Conservative Union, was the first speaker. H e b egged to ex press, on the part of the working men of Leeds, the confidence felt in the Government and the bill brought forward for the reform of the representa tion of the people, and he said th e wor ki ng men were sure this measure would be carried out for the good of the country. He assured the Government that Conservative feeling was spreading throughout the country, a fact of which he had convincing proof in connexion with 17 associations which the working men of Yorkshire had joined because they felt that the party was the true and only friend of the work ing c l asses . As regarded the compound house holders, he said it would not be a safe thing to allow that class the same privileges as the non-compound householders, and to do so would be raising up a privileged class in the State. As to the term of re sidence, that was a question which it would, in his opinion, be well to leave is the hands of the Go vernment ; and the voting-paper clause he looked upon as a valuable one, as it would enable a vast number of persons, such as the sick and disabled voters, to exercise the franchise. If, he continued, the adversaries of the Government were sincere in their expressed desire to enlarge the franchise, they would vote for this clause ; and Mr. J. S. Mill ought especially to vote for it, as the women, whom that gentleman proposed to enfranchise, could only vote that way without being insulted. In conclusion, he begged to assure the noble lord that the working men of the North were prepared to support the Go vernment. Mr. KIRBY, of Birmingham, representing an as sociation of 600 members, said his association had perfect confidence in Lord Derby's Government carrying the Reform question to a satisfactory issue. There were some points in the measure upon which his members were not altogether in agreement, as, for instance, the residential question, some believing that a year's residence would meet the case ; but, as regarded the bill as a whole, they considered it as honest in its intentions, and as one which would be appreciated the more it was thoroughly understood. Mr. MILL, of Wakefield, who introduced himself as " a bona fide working man," said he represented 600 other working men, who had voluntarily joined a Conservative Association because they felt it necessary to maintain the ancient principles upon which the - Constitution is founded. Ile was privileged to convey to his lordship the assurance that the working men would support his lordship's Government before the country, and he had been desired to convey the thanks of the working men to the Chancellor of the Exchequer for his noble vindication of the Home of Commons. The . Lord DERBY, who on rising was greeted wit,h seve ral rounds of cheers, then addressed the He said—Gentlemen,—This deputation, as I under stand, was originally appointed to wait upon my right hon. friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and to him, indeed, such a mark of honour is most justly due, because it has rested upon him to carry out the measure of the Government ; upon him the greatest labour has devolved, and upon him has lain the greatest responsibility in the adoption of the best tactics, in conciliating the various opinions, and • in•endeavourir!, while maintaining a firm adher- , ence to our principles, by a conciliatory bearing to carry through such an assemblage as thii -Rouse of. Commons a measure involving matters of no com txtuwimportanee—a measure arhiek iv - abeam-4 vist variety of conflicting interests, and requires all par ties to give way to the feelings of others, so that the object we have in view shall be carried, namely, a measure which shall settle this question for a con siderable time. (Cheers.) But, gentlemen, under standing that this meeting, which might have waited upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer alone, would feel some satisfaction if I took part in it, I came up from the country for the express purpose of . meeting you. (Cheers.) f need not say that in the arduous task in which we are engaged the sup port of all classes of the community is essential for the purpose of enabling us to carry through a mea sure surrounded with no ordinary difficulties, and in respect to which we have to contend with no ordinary opposition. (Hear, hear.) I regret the distinction which was drawn in the statistics of last year between the working class and other classes of the community. I think it was an invidious and unnecessary separation of classes. Now, our object is not to include so many of this or that class, but to admit to constitutional rights so many of all classes that shall be capable of intelligently and soundly exercising the political franchise. (Cheers.) As to working men we are all of us working men. Some of us work with our brains, some with our tongues, and some with our hands. We have all our duties to perform, and we are bound to unite our best service for our common country. (Cheers.) 1 must say it affords me peculiar satis faction, and I am sure it does also my right hon. colleague, to know how largely Conservative prin ciples are extending among those who, hitherto, have been excluded from the representation, and who have been erroneously regarded as favourable to democratic alterations. We desire to extend the basis of our foundations, but not to break down the foundations upon which our Constitution is based. We desire to bring in as large a number as possible of those who shall be found capable of exercising the franchise soberly and intelligently ; but how aro we to draw the line of distinction ? That is the great question now pending between us and those who are in opposition to the Bill. I have always thought it was a mistake in the Act of 1832—al though I was a party to it—that the original line of £lO was fixed as the line; but the abuses that pre vailed up to that time made the representative sys tem of this country a mockery, and so completely was the popular feeling aroused that the £lO was accepted_ as a middle term upon which we might safely rest. But it is quite clear the rent a man pays cannot be a test of his respectability. (Hear, hear.) The £lO was an arbitrary line ; the man who pays £9 may fairly ask what difference there is between him and the £lO householder, and the man who pays £8 may say the same, and so on. (Hear, hear.) Indeed, there is not a single figure upon which you can put your finger and say, " Here is the line between property and poverty and between respectability and non-respectability." It is a false measure upon which to proceed, and that false measure is now that which the present Opposition is endeavouring to uphold against the Government Bill. We have thought it much better to break down that hard and arbitrary line, and to ascer tain if we cannot take another and a better basis. (Cheers.) Now, what are the tests which you would desire to qualify a man to vote ? Temperance, frugality, permanence of tenure, steadiness of con duct, continuous amount of residence. (Cheers.) In claiming the privileges of the franchise we think a man should be bound to take upon himself the burdens of the Constitution, and to share the rates which are levied upon all householders. (Cheers.) We propose to take these two tests. Instead of taking a particular figure, we propose to take the personal payment of rates as a guarantee that the man who offers that payment is willing to bear his share of the State burdens, at the same that be takes the privileges of the Constitution. We ask also for a test of residence. And why ? Because there is in large towns a vast amount of migratory popula tion, who are the least respectable and the least valuable portion of the community, and who are the least known to their neighbours, and upon whom we think it advisable not to lavish the franchise. We therefore claim a certain period—be it one year, a year and a half, or two years, for that is a matter for fair discussion—so that the franchise shall in clude all those who are permanent householders, and exclude that mixed and migratory population which have no permanent connection with the towns. I will not venture to enter upon any details of the measure which is being carried through the House of Commons surely, though slowly (cheers); and I will not say anything upon the question of com pound householders, which is a question that has been very much discussed. We are very anxious that these compound householders, as soon as they have the power of taking upon themselves the pri vileges of voters, should have every facility afforded them of being entered upon the register. We pro pose . to place them upon an entire equality with other householders, subject only to this condition, that if they are omitted to be put on the rate-book by the overseers they must claim to be inserted and pay the rates. (Cheers.) Now, I cannot see that there is any inequality hi this, or, as the late Chancellor of the Exchequer said, any " fine" iu that proposal. Then, going to a minor point, we are desirous of multiplying the polling places in counties, rendering it unnecessary to transport the voter for the future a long distance to vote, which has hitherto been a fertile source of bribery. (Cheers.) We think great advantage might also be gained by the introduction of voting papers; that it would be a great protection to the sick, weak, timid, and the infirm ; that it will enable men to exercise their rights without being exposed to the terrors and the ahu , tes of a riotous inob. At the s line time, we have taken stringent preeautions against all possi bility of fraud.
