SECRETARY—Patrick Macintyre, Esq. This Joint Stock Company, established by Act of Parlia ment, without limited responsibility, affords the most perfect security in an ample paid-up Capital, and in the great success which has attended it, since its commencement in 1834, and the large accumulation of Premiums which has taken place. On the Ist of July, It4l, the Company, at their General Meeting declared an addition of one-half to the Sums paid by the Stockholders, and appropriated to those holding Assurances at the participating rate 2/. per Cent. per Annum, from the dates of their policies, so that the addition to a policy for 1,000/, in force for the previous 5 years, has been 1001., mak ing it in all 1,100/. The Premiums payable to the Company are nevertheless very moderate, and only one. half of them, when the Insurance is for life, need be paid for the first five years after the date of the Policy. Insurances may be effected on lives, however far advanced ; and the credit for five years is found particularly conven , ent on such insurances, and for the security of Temporary Loans. Annuities are granted on very liberal terms. The great facilities afforded by the Company, in these and other respects, are such that it really appears a moral duty . in every parent who is not possessed of a fortune, but of an in come, however moderate, to insure his life for a sum which may yield a provision to his family.

VAGRANCY IN IRELAND. The NOBLE LORD next presented a petition from the Board of• Guardians of Downpatrick, praying that a stop night be put to vagrancy in Ireland. 1 1 10.:SBYTERIAINT MIXED MARRIAGES. The NOBLE LORD also presented a petition from Liallynalmich, in the county of Down, on the subject of these marriages. . THE OXFORD TRACTS. The NOBLE LORD presented also a petition from :in individual, named Clark; who stated that he read with alarm certain tracts which had lately been put forth by persons in high station in the University of Oxford. The petition mentioned no names, but he prayed their Lordships to lend their powerful aid to preserve the Church from the conspiracy by which he believed she was endangered. EDUCATioN IN IRELAND. Lord REDESDALE presented a petition from Pro :,estant inhabitants of the town of Galway, against the present system of National Education in Ireland, and praying for a grant in aid of the Church Education Society. The Earl of WICKLOW presented petitions to the same effect, from the Protestants of parishes in the . county of Wicklow. In moving that they be laid on the table, he would express a hope that the House would consider the prayer of the petition, and see if it were not possible to give some part of the grant for Irish Education towards educating the Protestant portion of the people of Ireland.— (Hcar, hear.) He was in favour of granting money for the education of every class of the people, and he therefore thought the Protestant people of that country were entitled some share in the liberality of Parliament. CORN LAWS. The Duke of BUCKINGHAM presented petitions from the farmers of Cambridge, of the Isle of Thanet, and of other places in the countylof Kent, against the proposed alteration of the Corn-laws, which they viewed with great alarm. He presented a similar petition from a clergyman who was well known to many of their Lordships, the Rev. Sir Harcourt Lees. lie entirely concurred with all these petitions. The Earl of HARDWICK bore testimony to the respectability of the petitioners, but he could not support their views. The Earl of YARBOROUGH presented a petition from Horneastle to the same effect The Duke of CLEVELAND presented a petition from • the farmers of Shropshire against the proposed mode of taxing the averages. and agaiast some other de. tails of the New Corn Bill. They did not complain of the Bill as a whole, for they knew that the outcry which was raised against the existing law would compel the Government to propose some change But they viewed with astonishment and alarm the great reduction in the duties on spring corn, which would be productive of the most mischievous results. He fully con curred in the petition, and he would assure their Lord ships that in several market towns barley and oats were at present whllly unsaleable. Lord CAMPBELL presented a petition from the Mo ravians of London, praying for the abolition of oaths. The Earl of WINCHILSEA presented a petion from the members of the Church of England Association against a national system of education in Ireland. A NOBLE LORD presented a petition from Worcester against the Severn Navigaticn Bill. — The Marquis of LANSDOWNE wished to call the attention of the Noble Earl, at the head of the Admiralty, to a petition from the city of Cork. The petition stated that a packet-station had been established at Cork, and the petitioners understanding that such station was about to be removed, prayed the House not to take such a step. The Earl of HADDINGTON could assure the Noble Marquis that every attention would be given to the sub ject by the Admiralty. Lord MELBOURNE presented a petition from Leith, praying that the taxes upon horses used by carters and carriers might be taken off. Also a petition froth the inhabitants of Darlington, expressing strong objections to an income tax, and praying their Lordships to reject any Bill sent up to their Lordships' House for the pur pose of imposing such a tax. Also a petition to the same effect from Chipping Wycham. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from West moreland, signed by many persons of the highest respec tability, against an income tax. The petition contained the names of many extensive landowners. Although their Lordships had not made a Standing Order for the prevention of the discussion of petitions at the time of presentation, as had been the case in the other House, and he hoped they never would, he would abstain from debating the petition he had just presented, as there would be many further opportunities of debating the subject. The Noble Lord presented a petition from the mechanics of Bradford, praying that, they might be exempt from assessed taxes. EXCHEQUER BILLS' BILL. The Duke of WELLINGTON moved the third read ing, of this Bill. Lord BROUGHAM now presented certain clauses, of which he had given notice. They were taken from the 58th Geo. 111., c. 91, and another Act, and had for their object to give the Commissioners powers to issue a cer tificate, which should protect witnessess, who might give evidence that would otherwise. criminate themselves. The Earl of WICKLOW feared the result of those clauses would be to prevent, perhaps, the punishment of guilty parties, who might put themselves forward at first,. and take the Commissioners by surprise. Lord BROUGHAM thought this a strong objection, but he had met that point by not specifying any time within which the Commissioners should give a certificate. Lord CAMPBELL added a few word; to improve the clauses of his Noble and Learned Friend. The Bill was then read a third time and passed, SPIRIT DUTIES' BILL (IRELAND). The Duke of WELLINGTON gave notice that on Monday he would rqove the third reading of this Bill. NEW MAGIISTRATicb. The Marqtds of NOIIMANBY said he had now to present the petition of which he had, given notice, and in a. few words to direct the attention of their Lordships to the subject it embraced. The petitioners in this case represented a very large and important commercial com munity, and, perhaps, their Lordships knew the peti tioners and the members of other corporate communities felt the greatest interest in the matter on which they now addressed the House. True, this was the first direct appeal, the first petition addressed to their Lordships, in consequence of the evil of which they complained ; namely, the excessive addition that had been made to the Borough Magistrates towards the conclusion of last year. He would not detain their Lordthips by adverting to the numerous communications he had received from other places on this ayibjott, but would ecitilite himself to this petition, and then make one or two general observations, on the subject of the returns for which he had moved, and which he now had in his hand. The petition was from the Mayor, A/dertnen, and Burgesses of Kingattei upon-null, The sniistance of their eumplutut was, that from time immemorial— 'from the reign of Henry the Third until the passing of the Municipal Reform Bill, with certain modifications introduced by Henry the ..sxth---theL had the power of nominating their oath nitigisittate§. They sided that lit the interval which, elapsed from that tame (fire years), on every occasion when an addition was thought necessary to be made to the Borough Magistracy, com munications were made to the Town.Qoenail, with re commendations as to whom should be appoideil theY Complained that, in the month of November last, with out any communication beforehand, the Mayor received intimation that gentlemen had been appointed - to fill the vacancies in the Commission of the Peace. They objected to this, as the vacancies which had taken place had already heed filled up, and there were then twenty four Magistrates, being the greatest number which ought to be in'any borough The number of eight was afterwards added, and the petitioners complained that this was practically a complete violation of the course which should have been adopted towards them ; and they wished to have the power restored to the municipal authorities which they formerly held. The number of the Borough Magistracy in Hull at present was thirty two ; and he was sure he need not press on their Lord ships' attention the evils which arose from having a greater number of Magistrates than was required, as it was quite impossible to maintain that unity of purpose which was necessary amongst the Magistracy. Where a large addition had been made at any time, the neces sary consequence wat an unnecessarily full attendance. He . (the Marquis of Normrnby) considered it also as great evils the time and manner in which those additions were made. He should not so much object to the manner now if the Right Hon. Baronet, at the head of the Home De partment would have himself by any intuitive knowledge made these appointments ; but he would say that it was 'quite impossible that the Right Hon, Baronet could have any intuitive knowledge of these persons ; he must necessarily have derived his information from local par tisans, and that was what they complained of.—(Hear, hear.) With regard to the time of the appointments be would observe, that in all the. 'discussions which took place on this subject in the year 1836, it was stated as a great objection to the time, that it was just after an election had taken place ; when there was either great party triumph or great party discomfiture, and people were actuated by party feelings. These objections would apply to this case, for a general erection took place last year just previOus to these appointments. It might be necessary for the Right HMI! Baronet to make some 'addition ; but was there any necessity for the enormous addition which he thought proper to make ?—(Hear. hear.) In 1830 the Borough Magistracy amounted to six huudred and thirty, and up to September of last year it remained pretty nearly the same. But whatever application wat made representing to him (the Marquis of Normanby) that variations had take place, and that additional Magistates were necessary, he made such additions as upon inquiry appeared the best accord ing to the best of bis judgment, although he would ad mit that any person filling the office which he had lately the honour to fill might make mistakes through misinformation. Such mistakes were not what he now complained of. What he objected to was, the enormous, the extraordinary addition of some hundreds.—(Hear.) Whenever he (Lord Normanby) made appointments 1w endeavoured to distribute them amongst all classes of opinion.—(Hear.) With respect to the town of Hull itself, he received representations that vacancies had oc curred, which it was necessary to fill up; but upon inquiry he did not tide& that the number of men was necessary, it had been at first represented to bins—(lleer, hear) —and baying decided on a smaller number, he wrote down to five Members of the Town-Council, requesting them to recommend to him some gentlemen who were known to entertain opinions different from those of the majority of the Council. To this he re ceived for answer that several of those gentlemen had been requested to undertake the office of Magistrate of the borough at the time of the passing of the Municipal Reform Bill, and they refused to serve. however, after a time one of those gentlemen did consent to accept the appointment. He mentioned that as an instance of the principle upon which he always endeavoured to.regulate those appointments. In the returns before the House there was a deficiency, which he really thought could not be justified. There was no return of the number of Magistrates appointed in the borough of Lancashire.— (Hear.) He knew it was necessary to apply to two officers, but then the responsibility of applying to the office of the County Palatine lay with the Home-office. From the Ist of January, 1841, the number of new ap pointments had been only 58, and of these the greater number took place on arc- unt of vacancies. But from that to the Ist of January, 1842, the number of new appointments was 364:—( Hear, hear.) And let their Lordships mark the distinction with which these appointments were attended. In the whole number of small boroughs which send no Member to Parliament, no new Magistrates were made in the first in stance. But after it was known that there had been no liberal restitution in other quarters, applications were made from some of these places, and the Right Hon. Baronet, per haps with ne unwillingness, gave 41 Magistrates amongst 30. T here were some, however, particularly attended to. For instance, Hull, where a triumph had been just gained, and the appointments were, no doubt, intended to remove those gentle men from their exertions.—( Hear, hear.) Bath was the next where • signal defeat had been suffered, and when it was politic to encourage those who lent their services in a nicely balanced state of parties, in one day 90 Magistrates were added in 10 boroughs; nor was it on account of their insignificance of the non-Parliamentary boroughs, that caused them to be over. looked, for Buckingbam,Grimsb y, and Harwich, all small Parlia mentary boroughs; were similarly favoured with Hull and Bath. In Nottingham, and in Sunderland, where there had been a striking contest after the general election in October last, in November .an addition: of eight Magistrates were made to the borough. Plymouth, no very considerable place; Tiverton, Wallingford, no very considerable place—these were the towns in which an addition of ninety hlasostratet had been made. He would revert, for a moment, to the case to which he had parti- Milady alluded—that of Hull. He had felt great anxiety with respect to the appointments, and he had made twenty-four in addition ; but since then there had been an addition made, and now The borough contained no less than one-fifth more than any other borough in the country. He wished to call the the attention of the Noble Lord to the convenience that mould be attendant upon applying to some public body to give information on the subject to the Government.—(Hear.) The Magistrates of the borough of Hull complained that the name of Dr. Alderson, an active partisan, had been inserted before the names of all the Magistrates in the commis sion of the peace. These magistrates were told that in general the Magistrates were inserted according to the rank the person held in seciety. They accordingly went to Bluemantle.— ( Great laughter)—and he replied that medical distinction gave no rank. He (the Marquis of Normanby) was not quite sure that Bluemantle was right in that respect.— ( Laughter. )—He should not have adverted to this if there had not been another Doctor in the case, who was the Mayor, Dr. Chalmers ; and Dr. Alderson had been inserted before Dr. Chalmers. He trusted that, in future, information would be obtained from some person with respect to these appointments being made, and that those persons should not be those who were prejudiced on one side or the other, and unless they had recourse to this system, they would constantly do injustice. He did not think it would show good sense to bring in a bill for, the purpose of altering the system, but if these appointments were continued to be made in a similar manner to that to which he had alluded, Borough Magistrates would soon be lie:d in the most suverign contempt, and be made the means of political corruption. He did not mean to say that that was the case in the present instance, and he hoped to see the remedy in future applied which he had recommended, and which was the only one in their power to apply. The LORD CHANCELLOR confessed he felt grateful to the Noble Marquis for having called the attention of their Lordships to that petition, because many observations had been made from time to time as to the manner in which the Magistrates had been iecently appointed. The responsibility of those appointments rested with him (the Lord Chancellor). although, as his Noble Friend had correctly stated, he had conferred with the Right Hen. Baronet, the Secretary of State for the Home Department, as to the manner of filling up those commissions; and he (the Lord Chancellor) was desirous of satisfying their Lordships as to the propriety of the course which had been pursued. He would now refer to the observations made by the Noble Marquis, and direct their attention to the petition from Hall, by taking the Corporation of Hull itself, as an instance of the general spirit in which the Government acted. When the Mu nicipal Corporation Bill passed, it was found necessary to re model the Magistracy. New Magistrates were appointed in many places, the borough of Hull amongst others. For this borough twenty-three Magistrates were appointed. Did those who made those appointments do so without reference to party or Parliamentary objects? Out of the twenty-three magistrates so appointed, four were Conservatives, and nineteen were of the other colour of politics. He did not mean to say that all of those were of the same party. but there were nineteen who might be characterised as Whigs and as Radicals—steady supporters of the Government; all of them, or the greater pro portion of them, zealous, warm, active, and cage r partisans. Such was the composition of the magistracy of Hull, up to the time the ?resent Government came into power. Two of those Ma gistrates, whom he had designated Conservative, never acted ; one resided at a distance, and another was disabled from acting by his health. The Magistracy of the borough were therefore of one colour of politics, warm and eager partisans of the late Government. If this was the proceeding of the late Govern ment, what had been that of their successors? They added eight names to those formerly appointed. Those eight were of respectable character, and of weight and statio n i n th e b oroug h of Hull. No imputation could be made against these. a ppoint meets founded an the chara c ter of th ose i n di v id u al s . Th e y were 6onservatives, and he would ask their Lordships whether, considering the character of the bench up to that time, the Go eetfitnent were not justified in the course they pursued, and whether it ititg riot their duty to dilute and soften the spirit of partisanship that had exist, din that borough ? If anycomplaint were to be made it should not come from the Noble Marquis and his friends.—( Hear, hear.) It ought to be from the Con servative party, because, when the Government bad the power to place a majority of Conservatives on the bench, they had appointed only eight, leaving two to one against the party which the Government represented. But why did the Go vernment do so? Because it felt it to be its duty to act with forbearance, good temper, and moderation, and thus put an end to that party feeling and those party disputes which should never be displayed on the bench of the Magistracy, or be mingled With the administra'ion of justicelor the performance of those ministerial duties that belonged to that class. He appealed to their Lordships whether they were not justified in the course they had pursued; whether it was not the duty of the Government to appoint Magistrates who would dilate the party spirit of the borough, and be least offonsive to the inhabitants of that town ?—( Hear, hear.) His No ble Friend said that Goverment were wrong-in havin g in creased the Magistracy of Hull ; but of the 23 appointed , two had died, two removed to distant places, and three never quali liEd; leafing an artuarnumber of 16, to which the Government added eight, obleh *ottld only make one more than the origi nal number of 23. The Noble Marquis objected to some of the appointments; but his (the Lord Chancellor's) answer was, that as the names came in they were arranged in the usual man bar in the Ace by the proper officer, and if one were a doctor of medicifia, and the other a knight, they were arranged only according to the rank they appeared to have by the returns. This much he would say for Hull, and now he would say a few words, to enable their Lordships and the public to understand the general conduct of the Government. When they found iH 6 particular borough an exclusion or a preponderating number of Magistrates of one class, as at Hall, they added a small number of Conservatives for the purpose he had stated, but carefully abstaining from swamping the exist kg Magistracy.—( Hear, hear.) The Government wished to show to encourage moderation in the opposite party . In no wounds i ts andpower, r e but not e avo i ded grievances, givi g an d o ffence , by b i they d esi red gm o d rate toh eal them selves this course. The e h a t G e ov ern Noble sn en t were no case do they m t a w k i e th a o m ut aj a o i r it it h y or o i f iy C i o n n Baron, a Member of that House, who was a high authority, alluding to a similar subject, thus spoke—" the responsibility of appointing Magistrates rests with the Lord Chancellor, and it is the duty of that high functionary to recommend only such persons as he thinks duly qualified to discharge the duties reposed in them. I de not mean to ques tion the motives, or to impugn the conduct of any particular party, but I think, in common with the mass of the country, that if men of our colour of politics, only be nominated to these offices, though justice may not be corrupted in consequence, the administeation of it would be subject to doubt and sus picion."—( Hear: hear) Thisbe thought was justifiable, because the Government look tai Mitigate the preponderance of one ,party on the bench. His Noble Friend complained that a great addition had been made to the Magistracy. In conse rd - . quence of that statement, it was necessary for hint (the s Ln an he i most t say cre Chancellor) to call their Lordship'sattention to the em .ces under which the appointments ware made , and should it did appear most extraordinary that the Noble Marquis t.n. appointed. the case of Yarmouth-19 Magistrates had e d the 18 were violent have brought before their Lordships such an allega ti o n.

The four others bad no vows fee the county, but three of them voted in the borough for the lic - ig Member, and the fourth was a Whig Member himself. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) What had they (the AO nisters) done in this borough ? They had been content wit.lr having one-third of the Magistrates Conservatives. Take another instance, the borough of Leicester. The.'e were tee!. i Magistrates for Leicester ; nine of them voted at the election for the friends and suprortera of the Noble Marquis. In Ply mouth there were eight Magistrates, two of them were Members of Parliament, consistent supporters of' the 11Tob:e Margit is; five others voted for them at the election, and one was a Cu inser vative. In Bristol the Town Council agreed that twelve ,' ames should be returned by one party, and twelve by the ci. her. Now, how were they marshalled—were the twenty-four sar pointed ? No, the twelve Radicals were taken. and only aix of the others. In Manchester the whole of the Magistrate i were Radicals. After this how could the country be surprised they had attempted to regulate these mattere.' He was answerable for the manlier in which he exercised thee prerogative of the Crown. Every care had been taken in the, appointments, and provisions to making them. He had com municated with the Secretary of State on the subject. The Marquis of NORMANBX said that the cases to which the Noble and Learned Lord had referred were precisely the same as those which Were brought before the House in le3ti. With regard to Guildford, he begged to say that the Noble and Learned Lord had certainly been misinformed, for there was not one Whig Magistrate in the borough. He (the Mar quis of Normanby) had been requested to add others to the Commission, but he refused to do so, because the number was complete. He would again repeat that the present Govern ment had made most unnecessary addition. to the number of Magistrates. They had added no less than 364 to the Borough Magistracy since they had been in power. The Earl of WINCHIL SEA said, that he thought the Noble and Learned Lord was entitled to great praise for the manner in which lie had acted in this matter, and for his endeavours to put a stop to the disgraceful system of parti.an.,hip that exited under their predecessors. With regard to the borough of Rochester, he could bear testimony to the disgraceful appoint ments which had been made in that borough. He thought ;hat the Noble Marquis had gained nothing by his motion, but an exposure of the system of partisanship which prevailed under the Administration to which he belonged. Lord COTTENHAM thought it was important to know in what way his Noble and Learned Friend on the Woolsack had been influenced in the appointments which he had made. His Noble and Learned Friend could not have known personally , all those 364 persons.—( Hear.) He could only hare chosen them on the representation of others. Now, according to the old plan there was a local authority, in the person t f the Lord-- Lieutenant of the county, who was acquainted with. the lo cality, and who knew the character of those whom he recom mended.—(" Hear, hear," from the Duke of Wellington.) There was now in the boroughs also a local authority, which was consulted by the late Government—the Town Council— and if that body were not consulted, he shoeld ask what autho rity was to be consulted ?—( Hear, hear.) Was the Great Seal to be affixed to Commissions of the Peace upon the recommendation of persons who had access to the Lord Chancellor, and were not before the public in ativ re sponsible character ?—( Hear. ) His Noble and Learned ariend must have a very extensive knowledge of the boroughs throughout the kingdom ; still he thought the recommendations of the Town Council, which was a public and respon-ible body, was a much safer source of reeommendation than any private individuals.—( Hear.) His Noble Friend, in the charges which he made against the late Government. had gone back as far as the year preceding 1836, and he could only find two cases-- Guildford and Bristol. But those cases had been discussed in Parliament in 1136, and the charges were proved to the satis faction of both Houses, to be entirely without foundation. He did not see why the same course should not be adopted with respect to the appointment of Borough Magistrates, as in County Magistrates. These were appointed upon the recom mendation of the Lord-Lieutenant. 1 here was no office in boroughs certainly, similar to the Lord-Lieutenant's in coun ties, but there were parties holding official situations in boroughs capable of making the recommendation. This might be inconsis tent with the ancient institutions, yet his opinion was that the alteration would have a bene fi cial effect. He seas at a loss to know to whom to apply for the information required in these appointments, but it certainly should not be left to politicaily interested parties. He hoped his Learned Friend would state to their Lordships whether such a system would be adopted, as had been recommended by his Noble Friend with respect to obtaining this information (as we understood, but the Noble and Learned Lord spoke in so low a tone of voice that we frequently found great difficulty in understanding his points.) Lord BROUGHAM said, that before his Noble Friend answered his Noble and Learned Friend who spoke last, he wished to say a very few words upon this most important con versation. He was exceedingly glad that the subject had been brought before their Lordships, for nothing could be more im portant than that which related to the administration of jna tice. The principal ground upon which he wished to address their Lordships was that the Noble Lord who had spoken last had referred to the appointment of County Magistrates, and recommended the same course to be adopted with respect to Borough Magistrates. He (Lord Brougham) would remind their Lordships of the course adopted by the Great Seal with iespeet to County Magistrates In order to have a person of responsibility and of undoubted local knowledge, it had been the usual course to act upon the recommendation of the Lord-Lieutenant. The Great Seal was uncoubtedly re seonsible for the appointment, and was at liberty either to fol low or reject the advice of the Lord Lieutenant. generally speaking, unless a satisfactora , reason was given, that recom mendation was acted upon. It did so happen that when he ( Lord Brougham) held the Great Seal, for the first two years t here was one perpetual list of complaints made to him by va rious persons connected with the different parties, that political influence was used in the recommendations of the different Lord s It was said that the Magistrates were all Conser vatives, and that notone Liberal Magistrate had been appointed. Ile did not think, that during the whole of the four years that he was in office he was besieged on any subject so much as thiQ. For the first two years especially; at the end of that time, a general election—that which was commonly called the Reform Parliament—took place. At that time recommendations poured in upon him from Lords-Lieutenant for the appointment of County Magistrates. He was consequently led to inquire the anon why the administration of justice should just happen to require so very ample an addition to the Alegi:- tracy. This was in the months of December, 183'2. and January 1833. He did inquire, and he found that those persons were all well and duly qualified to exercise judicial functions. In making those inquiries he did not itnpute any improper motive to any one, and he was bound to say that in no one instance did he find either of the persons unfit for the commission. He was bound to say this to justify himself and hi. Noble Friend on the woolsack. He gave the lists of the different Lords.Lientrnant to the Whig Govern ment, requesting them to point out any objections to the names. lie gave the list of recommendations made by the ruling :Members to the Lords-Lieutenant far them to examine them, and no objections were made. He did not recollect any one objection being stated save one, and that was because he was a manufacturer, because the rule was not to appoint a manufacturer to the commission, as there were frequently die , pules between the master and the men respecting wages. He did not think that there could be any objection on the part of the Right Hon. Baronet, the Secretary for the Home Department, of adopting asimilar course with respect to borough Magistrates. If a cause could be shown, then eject them ; if not, it was to talk of an Utopian state of things to believe that party was to have no effect, and that it was love of discharging the duties of the office, and that they must be given to those who were the best fitted to discharge the duties. At the present time it appeared to him that the spirit of party divided and split up the country more than at any former period, not only in counties and large constituencies, but the most insignificant communities. It was almost impossible to expect that, in such a state of things Magistrates would be chosen without re ference to political bias. This was to be lamented as unfor tunate, and he had wished he could have lived to see the time , when it would not be the case ; but he should have been more surprised if the change in the late Government had taken place without being followed by a considerable change in the Borough Magistrates. They had now unknown advisers, con cealed nominators of the Magistrates. Why not make the re commendation of political friends the con-taut rule in such cases? Why not permit the members of different placess to suggest the names, and show, if they could, some cause of ob jections; prove that from their characters and capabilities they were unfit for the office. He could see no objection to adopting this course He by no means inteneed to say that they ought always to be bound by the ma jority of the Town-councils, anti for this reason. the councils were chosen by the majority of the. community they represented, and his Noble Friend said, generally speak ing, it was better to have the Magistrates of the same political opinion as the majority. If the councils changed, then the Magistrates underwent a proportionate change. But be thought there was another thing which he considered it incumbent on the Government to consider, and that was the protecting the minority against the majority. 1f he was morally certain that there was the greatest possible disproportion between the two parties, and that that disproportion could be shown to be so large as ten to one—if he was satisfied that the proportion of ten to one was a just expression of the feelings of that place, lie should say, all the more on account of that very disproportion, all the more because the numerical strength of the minority was so insignificant, it was the duty of the Government to pro tect that minority egainst that majority, and see that the majo rity did not have it all their own way. He thought his Noble Friend was mistaken in stating, that these appointments had been made principally in the Parliamentary boroughs. He found, from the return, that there were thirty-three Parlia mentary boroughs where no Magistrates had been added; and in those thirty.three places were some that had been con tested, and where additions might have been expected. These were such places as Leeds, Newcastle-under-Lyne, and another borough which was very well known—the borough of Sudbnry. In conclusion he hoped his Hon. and Learned Friend would lay down some general rule which might guide them in their future appointments. The Marquis of NORMANBY briefly explained, and stated that though they (the Ministers) might talk of having acted the same way as the opposition, he would beg to remind them that eight months previous to his (the Marquis Normanby's) quitting office, he had only appointed fifty-eight new Magis trates, whilst in seven months the present Government had made no less than 364 new appointments.
