BROWNE named various instances in which persons had got themselves registered as voters who pos sessed no legal title to freeholds. He contended that the system ought.to be immediately altered. Sir R. INGLIS thought that the same bad effects complained of in Ireland would occur in England by the Reform Bill now before them. Mr. D. BROWNE stated that he knew one instance where the assistant barrister in one county was compelled, according to the proof tendered to him, to admit from 400 to 500 voters on the registry, although he felt satisfied in his own mind that not one of them held a litleja jata„..—... • Mr. O'CONNELL said - "Ent so far from the Reform Bill introducing this system into England, when the Irish Reform Bill was passed it would effectually destroy the present system.

IN the morning of Life, when the blandish ments of passion " take the reason prisoner," it is an evil more to be lamented than wondered at, if, in the vortex of deceptive pleasure, the unhappy traitor against the laws of nature pays in lonely disappointment a fearful exaction for his rebellion in the compromise of his mental as well as bodily powers. To all persons so circumstanced as to require the professional aid of men of experience, whose time has been for twenty years studiously and suc cessfully devoted to the complaints arising from nervous debility, whether natural or acquired, GOSS and CO. proffer the most consolatory assurances. The youth who has enervated his frame by the strangely fascinating sin, which the poor victim of folly will too readily comprehend without further description, may find relief from his misery, and be kindly taught to regain his lost place in the scale of creation. The sufferer who, from another extreme of in dulgence, has with unbashful forehead, wooed debility, may learn to renovate nature, and repair his abused con stitution. The man of pleasure exposed to and suffering from Lues Venerea, however aggravated by malpractice of dip quack, or the concealment from diffidence, may find a certain restoration ; and finally in cases where the delay of a connubial pledge has almost extended disappointment to despair, they offer to the married female those hopes which she can reasonably appreciate. Messrs. GOSS and Co. are to be consulted, as usual, every day, at their house; and patients in the remotest parts of the country can be treated successfully on des,:rib ing minutely the case, and enclosing a remittance for Ad vice and Medicine. No difficulty can occur as the Medi cine will be securely packed, and carefully protected from observation. GOSS and Co., M.R.C.

The sudden disappearance from the city of a gentleman who has, of late years, acquired notoriety as the agent for prosecutions of a certain descripti on , h as given rise to a variety of conjectures. it was at first said and believed that some losses in speculations in the funds bad induced him to quit the country before the day o f settlement at the Stock Exchange, but it does not appear from what has taken place there tu.day, that he has hem connected with any gambling transactions in the funds._. Times. Hypnot).Ho3lA.--About two months ago, 4 dog belonging to Mrs. MosKmAN, of the Old Sand Hill, in Collier-gate, York, suddenly showed symptoms of hy drophobia, and bit some of the servants about the pre mises. A young woman was most severely lacerated on the arm, and though the wound was apparently perfectly healed in about a fortnight afterwards, the result has been fatal. On Sunday week she married a young man named CROSBY, a sailor, and on Friday last, the horrid disorder which had been rankling in her blood manifested itself in its deadliest form. The young woman continued in gt-eat agony till Saturday evening, when death terminated the afflicting scene. It has been conjectured that dancing and other festivities connected with the wedding feast may have accelerated the development of the fatal disorder. Her remains were interred on Monday evening, in the church yard of St. Mary Bisbophill the Elder, and au immense concourse of spectators attended the funeral obsequies of this unfortunate bride, who has in one week from the day of her marriage been thus awfully consigned to her tomb.—Leeds Mercury. Mr. CAMPBELL was sorry to hear any slur thrown on registration of any kind.—( Hear.) He instanced the mode of registration in Scotland, a mode which precluded all attempts at fraud. Mr. K. DOUGLAS remicded the Hon. and Learned Member, that in Scotland there were perhaps but from fifty to one hundred freeholders in a county ; whereas in Ireland and in England the voters were not only mure numerous, but more varied in character, and required more extensive arrangements. The petition was ordered to be printed. Mr. O'CONNELL then presented a petition which, he said, materially concerned the privileges of this House. It was from a gentleman named Richard Gurney, who stated that on the 17th of November, 1830, he and a gentleman named Charles King presented a petition, praying to be declared duly elected for the borough of Tregony. It appeared that those two gentlemen had been candidates for the borough, and were declared by the Mayor duly elected; but that another election was held by another person claiming to be Mayor (falsely so claim ing as he understood), and that two othq candidates, Messrs. Gordon and Mackellos, were declared duly elected. The petition then presented was referred to a Committee, who, without hearing the evidence, declared that the sitting Members were duly elected, and that the petition was frivolous and vexatious; the whole of the costs, amount ing to about 1,200/., fell upon the present petitioner only, Mr. Gurney, and not upon him and Mr. King jointly, as he conceived it ought to have been, even supposing the Committee had decided correctly. The petitioner, there• fore, prayed for a Committee of appeal, and for such other remedy as to the House should seem meet. The Hon. and Learned Member cited various clauses in the statute, in support of certain portions of the petitioner's claims, and ex pressed his intention of bringing the subject hereafter be fore the House. The SPEAKER said he had perused the petition, and he thought there were some points deserving con sideration as affecting the connection between this House and its Committees. He suggested, therefore, that the best way would be to have the petition printed and ad journ the debate to a future day. Mr. O'CONNELL acceded to the suggestion, and agreed to an adjournment of the debate until Monday next; the petition iu the mean time to be printed. Mr. O'CONNELL presented a petition from a parish in Queen's County, Ireland, complaining of certain abuses in the levying of church rates. Mr. HENRY GRATTAN and Mr. Rtrrtiveti supported the petition. Mr. O'CONNELL would take that opportunity, seeing his friend the Solicitor-General fur Ireland in his place, to ask whether au Act which had come down from the Upper House against the burning of laud in Ireland was brought in with the sanction of Government. From his own knowledge of the circumstances of the case, he should say the prohibition ought to be relaxed. Mr. CRAMPTON said that the Bill was brought in upon the sole responsibility of a Noble Marquis in the other House, and without any sanction from his Majesty's Government. Mr. M. O'CONNELL presented two petitions from places in the county of Cork, against the grant to the Kil. dare-street Society. Mr. JOHN WOOD presented a petition, signed by 500 inhabitants of Macclesfield, praying for the remis sion of the sentence passed at the Surrey Sessions against Hobert Taylor. The petitioners, he stated, held no opinions in common with that unfortunate individual, but considered, however flagrant his conduct might have been, his case was one of great hardship. He considered the existence of the Society for the Suppression of Vice, at whose instance the prosecution in question was ori ginated, as arguing either the imbecility or ignorance of his Majesty's Government. The Hon. Member presented several petitions front retailers of beer, praying that the only alteration in the Beer Bill might be, that the law of all dealers in liquor should be assimilated. Also a petition fron► James Benson, a freeman of Liver pool, praying that the Liverpool writ might be issued. Mr. HUME presented a petition, signed by 300 friends of humanity and justice,in behalf of the courageous and suffering Poles. He would take that opportunity of calling upon Go vernment to consider that that subject called upon them to in terfere, and use all the influence they possessed with other Courts, to put an end to the effusion of human blood in Poland. This country had already interfered fur Belgium ; and he hoped the time was come when the British Government would show themselves equally attentive to the interests of freedom arid national independence in Poland. The Honourable Member then presented a petition signed by merchants and manufactu rers engaged in the Baltic trade in Montrose, complaining of the evils arising from the exaction of Elie quarantine laws. Also A petition from the attornies and writers in Montrose agP.inst the Attornies' Act; and a petition from York, relative to the tithe system. The Hon. Member also pre sented petitions from the citizens of York, complaining of the payments they were obliged to make to the support of the Church, and praying that the revenue of the Bishopric of Cork, now vacant, be applied for that purpose; from Kidderminster, against the Corn Laws ; from a place in the county of Cork, against the application of the grant to the Kildare-street Society; from the ship-owners of Leith, praying the House to take into consideration the heavy light-house dues paid on that coast; from the shepherds of Queendale, against the duty on shepherds'. dogs ; and from the licensed beer retailers of Brighton, praying to be allowed to keep their houses open to a late hour. Mr. B. WALL moved for certain returns relative to the population, as taken by the census of 1931. Mr. BENETT presented a petition from Chipnall, praying for the introduction of poor laws into Ireland. The petition, after some observations front Mr. O'Corr- NELL, Mr. GRATTAN, and Mr. HUME, was ordered to be printed. Mr. K. DOUGLAS presented a petition from the West India Association of Dublin, against the Foreign Sugar Refinery Rill. Mr. HUNT presented a petition from a person named Edward Ilaucox, a prisoner in Cold-bath-fields, to which place he had been committed for selling publications about the streets, praying the alteration of the law and the abo lition of taxation on knowledge. Mr. lIUME hoped that this sub:ect would be taken seriously into consideration by his Majesty's Mini sters, and that an alteration would be made in the law. As it at present existed, it mattered not what species of book a poor fellow sold about the streets, if he sold any thing that was enough to hurry him off immediately to p"'an• Be deprecated the existence of any law witih had a tendency to restrict knowledge, Mr. HUNT presented a petition from the Westminster Political Union of the working classes, praying for annual Parliaments, universal suffrage, vote by ballot, and that no persons who gave their votes should require any money quatification s . In presenting the petition the lion. Mem ber observed that on a previous occasion be had presented a petition from the same petitioners, but in consequence of its not being respectfuliy worded he bad withdraw❑ it for the purpose of its correction, which had been now done. He agreed entirely with the petitioners, and was quite confident the Reform question now before the House was not half so much thought of as it had been. He had been lately into the country, and he could most positively assure the House that in those parts it was now a complete dead letter. Let him go where he would, he had found it to have become so. The people had been disappointed in what they were taught to believe would be the result of the measure. Mr. LAWLEY thought if the feelings of the country were such as the Hon. Member for Preston had stated, large meetings should take place to inform them that such a change had taken place, and to know from them what grounds they were taking. Mr. HUNT perfectly concurred with the Hon. Member for Warwickshire in the propriety of calling meetings Where were now, he would ask, the petitions in favour of the Bill, the whole Bill, and nothing but the Bib ? He had presented plenty of petitions himself fur the ballot, hut he had heard of none being presented lately for the Bill. If a meeting were called in London he would undoubtedly attend it-- (Laughter)—he should think it his duty to do so ; for the Bill, as it at present stood, was different to what it was .when introduced. He considered that the people had been deluded by Mitaisters !7 —(Hear)—and from that great measure, tvliiterrinleiline ago they thought was every thing for them, they expected nothing now.— (Hear, hear.) Nothing would please him more than to see meetings take place all over the country, as he should be then sure the question would get fully and properly discussed.—(Hear.) At the last election the people dared not discuss it, for any man that attempted to say any thing against the success Of the Reform Bill, was sure of not being heard, hut let Common-halls be now called, and the question would be properly discussed.,. Mr. LITTLETON thought that if the question had be come unpopular, it was not the fault of the Hon. Member for Preston. That Hon. Member had laboured as effec tually as he could to make it unpopular. He could, how ever, state that in the county with which he was con nected the measure was viewed with as much favour as it had ever been.—(Hear.) The bittie might be already considered as decided, and therefore it was not probable that the excitement which prevailed when the question was first agitated should still continue. The Bill in effect was already carried, and the principle was rooted in the hearts of the country.—(Cheers.) Mr. BENETT observed, that people only petitioned for an object which had not been extended to them, but when that object was in progress there was no necessity to petition, let but theßill be stopped in its progress in any place, the House would then have petitions from all parts of the country. The people were now waiting quietly, but anxiously, for the result. He trusted it would not be again necessary for the people to meet and petition ; for lie well knew that there were not wanting persons whose object it was to delude thern.—(Hear.) Mr. D. W. HARVEY said there had been a meeting of the entire people of the kingdom in favour of this measure. Let the Honourable Member for Preston call meetings if he pleased, and then he would see if the people did not still view the Bill as the only means of conciliating the feelings and securing the happiness of the nation. In the county with which lie was connected (Essex) there was as much unanimity upon this subject as ever. If the same appeal were made to the country as had been already made by his Majesty, it would be seen, that notwithstand ing the Charles-street fund, and those connected with it —the new allies of the Hon. Member for Preston—that the same results would follow, and no fewer advocates would be found for the measure than there were at first. Lord VALLETORT felt confident the measure was not so popular as it had been. As to to the delay in the pro gress of the Bill, he begged Hon. Members to refer to the proceedings of last cif( ek, and they would see on which side the delay arose.—(Cheers from the Opposition.) Lord MORPETH stated that the large county ith which he was connected was as strongly in favour of the Bill as ever. Sir It. FERGUSON bore similar testimony to the anxiety of the people of Nottingham in favour of the measure. Tifty only expressed dissatisfaction that the Bill did not proceed more rapidly. Mr. HODGES had not the smallest reason to believe that there was any coolness respecting this measure in the county with which he was connected. Mr. PAGET expressed the same with regard to the county with which he was connected. He knew of no delusion except that practised by the Hon. Member for Preston himself. Mr. JAMES stated there had been no change in the feelings of the people of Carlisle on this subject, and the only reason why they did not send up petitions urging its progr ess , was b ecause t h e y k n ew that they would delay the measure. Mr. O'CONNELL accused the Hon. Member for Preston of misrepresenting the people. He asked, could it be supposed that the people wished to revert to the system which prevailed at the close of the last Parliament ?—(llear, from Mr. Hunt.) The people knew the value of this measure, and would not be deluded into an opposition, the only evidence of which was the Hon. Member himself and tie Noble Lord. Lord J. LENNOX stated, that from information which he h a d received from various parts of Sussex during the last fortnight, he was justified in stating that the measure was as popular there as ever. The petition was then laid on the table. Mr. HUNT, in moving that the petition be printed, re ferred the House, in proof of his assertions, to the number of petitions which be had presented from large northern towns, all denouncing this measure, and praying for more. He asked, had any man in that House the impudence to tell lino that this was the same Bill brought up by Ministers to aniokuAetfgh: 1 favour one enure HUNT w whom saidnl h e three months ago? No such thing, nor any thing like it. He repeated the Bill was not by any means so popular as it was before. Three months ago there was great agitation, but now any man could discuss the subject without the least danger of being knocked down. He had said from first to last that the Bill was a delusion, but now the eyes of the people were opened, and they would be no longer deluded. He did not care whether what he said did the Bill good or harm— (Hear and laughter)--but he would speak the truth, with outwhich way it cut. He came into that House caring to please himself, and was not fettered by any pl e d gee , Mr. HUME contended that if any delusion were prac tised it was by the Hon. Member for Preston, who spoke against the Bill, got up petitions against it, and yet voted for ing to. It was a libel on the Government and on the House, 'that it was not the Bill that was iirst intro duced.it. The proceed ing - s of such a Member were not worth attend to say Ministers had adhered ca tenaciously as possible, and made an fear alterations as they could. instance an alteration had been forced on them, " ea that was to extend the franchise. He really could not think what sort of society the Hon. Member went into, when he said that the people were cooling to wards the Bill. t bl o nut th o e ne ß Mr. SIIEIL should like to know upon what autho rity the Hon. Member for Preston considered himself the representative of the people of England —( Hear)—and what he meant, when be stated so lustily that they were adverse to the Bill. Before the last election the complaint was made by the Hon. Member that the Bill wau not extensive enough, that the people would not have it, that they wanted something more compre hensive ; that so enamoured were the people of Preto;: of l ib er ty that he could not and would not ta',.ea so mutilated 0,07 - i presented by the Bill before konfant'he measure—(Hex., hear,). -and a reference tah f eor p ou ! e f ...... it ( H as ealvr.a) , But England was stirred up, and with a voice loud and unequivoc4l,declared late elections contitut , ,:d a strong and irrefragable testimony to the sincerity of their attachment to its prin ' ciplta , tHillUtlAiiisEday week. • h 's. e .o l u v l a d s a th lw e a r \ e ,s pr s e u s p e l n )o ta r t t i . ve of the unre preseuted, portion of the people of England—(lmmense postponed his motion relative to the See of p AL _ - . A . I 4 I ISTON stat d, that in consequence of the indisposition, wising feefai continued attendance and e vrtiou in that Mouse, of his Noble Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer, which he trusted would be of short duration, it would be necessary for the Ilonse to make, in the meantime, some arrangement as to business. His Noble Friend could not he in his place before Thursday evening, and he (Lord Palmerston) would suggest, that to. ' morrow the House should proceed with the Irish esti mates, and Monday next might he devoted instead thereof to the Reform Bill. This arrangeintnt was accordingly agreed to. BRAZIL. Mr, DIXON aka some question relative to the pro. PORTUGAL. Mr. COURTENAY said, that as it had been intimated to him that the Noble Lord (Palmerston) opposite would accede to his motion, and grant all the papers he asked for as soon as they could be laid upon the table,,he felt him self placed in a very different situation to that in which bad stood when be gave notice of the motion. H e had had not had time for consideration or for consultation with others, but as his only object was that this country should stand fair, and as he had not the least desire to embarrass Ministers, he felt that although he was prepared to enter into his statement, the most proper course for hint tai pursue would be to put his motion into the hands of the Noble Lord, witbout.one word of comment. Lord PALMERSTON promised that there should he no unnecessary delay in the production of the papers. It was right, however, that he should suggest, that the motion was not so worded as to obtain all the necessary informa tion. It would be easy to amend the wording of the mo tion ; but perhaps it had better stand as it was, and he be allowed to reserve to himself the right of moving for such additional papers as would make up the whole case. Mr. COURTENAY should prefer making his motion as it stood, and should be happy to receive any additional papers which the Noble Lord might think necessary. The Hon. Member then moved, " That an address be presented to his M ijesty for copies of all communications that had passed between the Government of this country and the Portuguese Government, and between the Government of this country and the French Government, relative to the proceedings of the English and French squadrons in the Tagus." On the motion being put, Mr. ROBINSON was anxious to repeat now a ques tion which he had put last night to the Chancellor of the Exchequer. He wished to know if the Government were informed that the French Admiral, not satisfied with ob taining the reparation he claimed from the Portuguese Government, was now employed in negociations, of a commercial nature with the Portuguese Go vernment, which negociations, if successful, would be most prejudicial to this country ? He wished also to ask another question. He held in his hand a list of eight Portuguese ships of war, which, when his correspondent despatched his letter from Lisbon, were in the act of sailing from the Tagus under the French flag. being considered by the French as their prizes. Now he believed that forty merchantmen had been captured by the ' French before reparation had been conceded to them by the Portuguese Government, and these surely must be sufficient to indemnify the French for any peculiar loss they might have sustained. It must be recollected, that this abstraction of the Portuguese fleet would give a palpable advantage to one of the two parties with reference to which both the English ar.d French Governments professed rigid neutrality. He thought these subjects required ex planation from the Noble Lord. Lord PALAIERSTON would answer the last question of the Hon. Member first. As to the point to which that related, he could only repeat, that according to the best legal advice which the Government had been able to obtain it appeared that by the law of nations the French Go vernment was entitled to consider those vessels as their lawful prizes of war. He need hardly observe, therefore, that this Government had not interfered to prevent the French from retaining their lawful prizes. As to the first question of the Hon. Member, he had to state, that by accounts received from Paris and Lisbon that morning, it was learnt that all the French fleet had left the Tagus with the exception of a single frigate, which would remain for the protection of the subjects of France resident in Por tugal. He had also to inform the Hun. Gentleman that it did not appear from any information received by Ministers that there was the slightest ground to enppose that any commercial treaty had been eaterad into, or was projected, between the French and the Portuguese Go vernments. The British Ambassador at Paris had heeu informed by the French Minister, that orders had Leen sent to the French Admiral to quit the Te s gus, and when the despatch of the Consul-General at Lisbon left, it was un derstood that the fleet was under sail to return home. Mr. ROBINSON was glad to hear what had fallen from the Noble Lord uith regard to the suppai,ed com mercial negociations. As to the other paint, be was not, of course, competent to give zr.ly opinion upon the law of the case ; but he was sorry that the French had not imi.. tattd the example we set them when we sent a hostile fleet into the Tagus. The motion of Mr. COURTENAY was then agreed to. Lord PALMERSTON moved, " That an address be pre sented to his Majesty for copies or extracts of communica tions received by his Majesty's Government from the Bri tish Ambassador at Paris, and from the consul-General at Lisbon, relative to the English and French exv,eclitioas to the Tagus."—Agreed to.

Mr. HUNIE moved for a continuation up to the present time of the returns relative to naval and military promo tions, which were laid upon the table last year.—Ordered. REFORM BILL. The House having gone into a Committee on the Re form Bill, Mr. BERNAL slid, that the Committee had proceeded 'as far as the words " be it enacted," and that it was now proposed to insert, after those words, the following words, " that no person shall have a right to vote at elections of member or members for any city or borough, except by reason of occupation a such premises as are hereintwfore , mentioned." _ A.;r. 'ci'EYLAND said that these words required expla nation. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL would in a few words explain the object of the clause. Under clause twenty-one th? right of voting was given in cities and boroughs to 10/, householders. The present clause reserved the right of voting already possessed by rosi.lent freemen and the suns of freemen in such cities and boroughs previously to the passing of this Bill, to such freemen and tag Sons of freemen during their byes. The object of the words, tlievefire, which had been introduced into the clause with regard to which the Hon. Member required an explanation was to disfranchise all such kind of voters in future, so that freemen in cities and boroughs should not posses!. :Ile right of voting in perpetuity. The insertion of the words in 1 .4 e. crease as already read by the Chairman was tlte . ;,. pa and agreed to. The CIo:F.LiAN having read the next paragraph c.l the clause, Mr. E. PEEL rose to move the amendment of wl,ich lie had given notice, for the purpose of permanently pre serving to freemen in c;ties and boroughs the rights which they at present possessed with regard to the eleQtion of Members of Parliament. lie was anxious, he said, to continue to resident freemen, and to their descendants, those rights of which it would be unjust to deprive them, and be was desirous to preserve them from the destructive and disfranchising principles of this Bill. He would . ask what grounds existed for the annihilation of their just L esee bige -I T.rtfr rights, and for- the transfer of those rights to a consti tuency who bad less natural claims to the possession of such privileges ? He regretted that the Noble Lord, the Chime...l4,r of the Exchequer, was not in his place, and he Noble more, Lord as li e had understoodsaidthatit arose very from regrettedindisposition. d slight degree of disfranchisement with regard to freemen would be effected by this Bill ; for that a great majority of the freemen in cities and boroughs would squire the right isabsence Thatti of voting under the 101. clause. Now he (Mr. Peel) would deny that such would be the case, particularly in the instances of the smaller boroughs, for the freemen there, though equally well entitled on the grounds of intelligence and character to the franchisesslol. householders, would not possess it, as the houses in such boroughs were seldom of such value. The fact was, that owing to that circum stance, the Bill would have the effect of diminishing the number of electors in the smaller boroughs, though the Learned Gentleman opposite (the Attorney-General) had s rid that one of the great merits of the Bill would be. to in crease the independence of the constituency by inereising the number of voters. The Hon.lMembe.r concluded, by moving, that after the words " provided also," all the words, down to the words " hereinafter contained," should be omitted for the purpose of inserting words to the effect, that every present right or privilege, in respect to the election of :Members of Parliament in such cities or boroughs as shall be entitled to return Members to Par liament under this Bill, which have been possessed by re sident freemen in such cities or boroughs in virtue of bird), servitude, or marriage, shall be preserved to them, and that they alien be entitled to vote at the election f Mem bers for such cities and boroughs, provided they have re gistered their votes according to the provisions of this Bill. An Hoer. MEMBLIt, whose name we could not leant, seconded the amendment, in support of whirl, he spoke. and concluded by expressing a hope that such au amend merit would not be rejected upon slight grounds. Captain BERKELEY rept.' sented a large body of free men in the city of Gloucester, •and begged the indulgence of the Committee whist lie isiede a few remarks on the clause before them. And first, he begged to assure the Committee, notwithstanding all that had been said to the contrary, the freemen of that place did and do understand the manner by which this clause affected them ; and al though they might hope such clause would be amended in their favour, they would sooner give up that hope than the hope that the. Bill should pass into a law. But be was bound to admit that amongst the free women there was a very strong feeling against this clause of the Bill. The wives of freemen and the mothers of families were very naturally opposed to it on account of the valuable charities founded by bequest in that city, for the maintenance of a certain number of widows of freemen, and for the main tenance and education of a certain number of their sons and daughters. To enable them to share in the benefit of such charities, the husband or the fether, as the case might he, must have taken up the freedom, for which there was a trifling fee, amounting to a few shillings. Now, the ladies feared, and he thought those fears were well grounded, that if the right of voting were taken assay, the freemen would frequently neglect to take up such freedom, and that even those who might save a pittance from their weekly earnings to enable them to do so, would be tempted, from various causes, as they could net make all men alike provident, to spend the money so saved for other pin-- poses ; and before a second 'efficient saving could be made, the wife might ben widow, and the children or phans, cut off h r ever from the benefit of such charities. The frequency and excitement of elections brought the right frequently to their minds,—nay, the necessity of taking up the freedotn before a vote could be given secured to the families their eligibility to partake of the charities. Be sides, he could not but think that it would tend to deprive the poorer and hard.woiking girders of freemen of the ibe nefits of the ch a rity, w hil s t th ose o f b etter prospects would be able to com man d th e necessar y f ee, an d t h e ob j ect of the charity thus b e d e f ea t e d. A s the elective franchise was secured to them fo r th e nest b 0 years, as h a d alrea d y hem remarked by the Hon. M em b er w h o b roug h t f orward t h e i o ng i t Y h e departure right ht o f afrmomerutTeieri.at,inlnieipeleouolfd trhmetßfoirlle,seebyacnoynetsinilu, r a voting in perpetuity. Mr. BUCK supported the amendment. Lord J. RUSSELL said, that it wee quite ituposslle to admit such an amendment as this. The question was, whether the present clause, which went to preserve the right of voting to existing freemen in cities and boroughs, should be so altered as to preserve to all future freemen in such cities sod borough's that right in perpetuity. The principle of thie atnendment hail been already rejected by the decision of the House on Saturday last, and he did not see that there were any grounds for making this class of voters a peculiar exception from the operation of this clause, If the rights of freemen were to be ex cepted, and if they were to be preserved to them for ever, they would be then asked to preserve the right of voting to the scot-and-lot voters ; arid if they did so, the free holders would then have a right to complain that their rights had not been preserved to them. So that one by one, each of theme classes of voters would claim the main-- tainance of their rights, and one by one they would claim to be excepted from the operation of the disfranch4ing clause of this Bill. He did not deny that the resident freeholders were a respectable class of voters in such bo roughs as Newcastle and Gloucester, and places of that descriptiee, but he would contend that while their rights were preserved to all existing freemen under this clause during their lives, there would, in all those places, be soon produced, under the operation of the 21st clause, a sufficient constituency, and a better regulated and more extended franchise than hitherto existed there. The question was, whether the ten-pouud franchise did net give a sufficient share in the representation, and a suffi cient power to the industrious classes of the country. Ile thought that it did, and he should therefore oppose this amendment. Sir M. W. RIDLEY said, if this amendment should go to the vote, he should, on the principles of justice, feel it his duty to vote for it. Colonel BERESFORD contended that the operation of this clause would be extremely hard and unjust as re garded the freemen in Berwick-on-Tweed ; and he begged to assure the Commiltee that his constituents there were not at all disposed to surrender their rights in the generous manner that other freemen announced their willingness to sacrifice them. Mr. BURTON opposed the amendment. Mr. MILLER had throughout all the provisions of this most iniquitous Bill ; but he thought the present clause might be objected to more strongly than any other. Captain FITZROY declared, that in the borough of Great Grimsby the number of voters would be reduced by the Bill from 400 to about 100, for that was the extent of the 101. a-year houses in the town. There were be tween 300 and 350 houses at a rent of 5/. a-year, and be thought they ought to be included in the franchise. Mr. D. W. HARVEY observed, that the Bill not only preserved all existing rights of freemen, but it even re spected whatever rights might be acquired by individuals up to the Bill being passed into a law. If the House legislated for existing interests, it exercised that sound spirit of legislation which ought to limit the anxieties of legislators. The argument against the suppression of these rights had been effectually destroyed by the appeal to the people. The enemies of the Bill had argued that without an appeal to the people the measure was a corrupt dealing with the corporate rights of the whole kingdom. Well, the appeal to the people had heen made ; the Bill had been read and canvassed in every club and in every asseciation throughout the kingdom, and the people bad approved of the Bill, and had consented to sacrifice their individual and personal interests upon the altar of their country. No set of men in England could be more jealous of their corporate rights than the constituents of that borough which he had the honour to repre sent, ataa yet in their full cogniaance of the effects and operation of this clause, they bad not withheld their sane . tion from it. It would, indeed, have been idle for the people to have clamoured against nomination boroughs, Anil the rights of their proprietors, and yet keep up a cla mour for their own corporate interests. When noble pro prietors and privileged persons were called upon to concede their private interests, the people who made the demand felt they were equally bound to give up their personal pri vilege 4. Ile would press upon Ministers to give up th e tax upon admissions to the franchises of towns, for the -people were in many instances too poor to pay it, and the effect would be that on the eve of an election the candi dates for their own ends would pay it for them. He had known many men who had passed days and weeks of suf fering, and abataised from parochial relief, rather than forego the privilege of voting for Members of that House ; hut :,,t was not the nature or object of this Bill to extin guish such heroic virtu: Even in its remote construction it would not havo the effect its enemies pretended they anticipated . . ha the borough of Colchester, of 400 resi dent t .aurgesses, 150 wool be disfranchised, but these per sons would be soon in a condition to become voters by eoc cupying houses of 101. a year value.
