Mr. P. LEWIS observed that the promoters of the measure were enfranchising a class that would not answer the put .ores of the Bill. It was a measure in which there was nothing to diminish and much to increase the existing tendency to bribery and corruption—nothing which tended to put an end to violence at elections, there was, on the contrary, all that would go to promote that force of which every observer of English election proceed ings so justly complained, for the effect of the Bill would be lithe less than universal suffrage. He was not defend ing all the practices hitherto I revalent respecting close boroughs ; but he would ask, was there no worse corrup tion in what might be called open boroughs ? Was there not to be found in one of these some influential person who contrived to get the voters in a club who, supplying them with ale and smoking, would once a month or oftener meet them, make a speech to them, tell them they were blues, and ask them if they had not been blues ever since the reds existed, and if ever a yellow came into the town, would they not inflict upon him summary justice; and having gone through that process for some time, would not the said influential person come to a candidate and say he had expended 500/. in keeping the blues together. and demanding 51. a man and the 500/. besides un dertake to return any Hon. Gentleman who might offer hi mse lf. What bad the Bill done to put an as that brib ery , corrupt i on , end to such practices , and rotteuneas, prevailed as indisputably where there were man y voters, as well as where there were but a few? Witness Liverpool and Dublin. In the second and third cities of the Empire, had not such scenes taken place as must disgust every honest Reformer ? It would at length he seen, that there could be nothing like a useful or a sound Wform, until an intelligent and an independent constituency could be formed, capable of selecting candi dates who would do their duty ; and certainly no wise reformer would be content without going higher than the 101. qualification. The Hon. Gentleman then detailed the mode of bribing, by leaving money with the wives of the electors—regretting that not only tradespeople, but persons holding respectable commissions, and exercising professions, were but too ready to accept them. Instead of the qualification which the Noble Lord proposed, he should have recommended that a proportion of the highest rate-payers in each place be intrusted with the elective franchise. Mr. E. L BULAVER said, that the arguments which he heard that night from the opposite side of the House, were then repeated for the hundredth time, although they had before been answered a hundred times over ; but he really believed those Hon. Members were not aware• when they received a conclusive answer. The lion. Member contended, we believe, though he was very indistinctly heard, that the 101. criterion, though below what might be desirable in some places and higher in others, was, on the whole, a fair criterion. The people in towns, from being congregated tether, were more intelligent and more conversant with their political rights than the inhabitants of the country ; and were, therefore, he believed, more likely to be independent. He thought that it was doing the inhabitants of towns great injustice, and forgetting their whole conduct on the late elections, to impute to them depen , !ence and corruption. .Mr. TREVOR opposed the views of the Hon. Member for St. Ives. He denied that the 101. householders were the representatives of the intellect and wealth of the country. He had frequently protested against the Rill, and should do so again. His opinions on this subject were known, and they had procured him the support of his constituents. Ho had been opposed there, hut the times were changed, and those who had opposed him now sup ported him. Sir JOHN BOURNE here inquire] what w,s the question before the House? The CHAIRMAN stated what tLe question was. Lord JOHN RUSSELL thought the House was adopt ing an inconvenient course. The general discussion should be taken either at the beginning. or end of the chaise. The Committee, without doing that, had diseased the details of the clause. He recommended the Committee to discuss the tletails then, and enter into the general discussion of the clause hereafter. Mr. C. W. WYNN said a few words in the course of the proceedings, and expressed an opinion that it was not poisible to adhere to the plan suggested by his Noble Friend. The d iscussion on the general question of the clause must be taken when it was convenient. Lord J. RUSSELL would not insist on the general discussion of the clause after the verbal amendments were tiVe n :tristuflesit,there were full time. stid, the disorder of the House had been so great list debt, that he was almost on the point of calling on the Chairman to read the Riot Act. Hr, however, was not singular in not being able to obtain a hearing, for the same difficulty was experiencel by the Attorney-Geored, and the Hon. Member for Aldborough. He asked the Hon. Member for Liverpool whether the tenants of 101. houta.s in that town were not of so low a description that tine owners of such tenements were ob liged by a bye-lew to pay the poor rates? Mr. WEILAND arid, that iu such towns as Brighton, Cheltenbeen arid others, it was probable that the houses of a hieher rent time 101. constituted the greater part, but in other tower the houses rented between ttu pounds an.; tweet e pounds, would be more than double the mother of 'rousts of a higher rent. 'To give votes to the lot. householder:, therefore, was, in his opinion, handing over the franchise to the hwest classes. He was sorry t o express this fear, but Ire had such a fear ; and he 1V:18 further afraid, that on any popular questions—torch as the Corn Laws, the great accumulation of property, the :National Debt, and such questions—there would arise great danger to tare best interests of the ceuntry. Gentlemen would be mistaken it they thought that they could in fluence the people, when under excitement, as they might wish. This tees the most important clause in the Bill, and be hoped it might receive a statesmanlike consideration. .I.r.r. HUNT had listened to the statesmanlike speech of the ion. Mende-r, and to the novel speech of the Hon. Member. for St. Ives.—(A laugh.) He had listened also for three Lours to rtiffereot speeches, and not one word had be heard alsout the business before the House. lie wished to lent n from the Chair whereabouts the Reuse was, for b e die , not know. Mr. BERNAL stated, that he bad already read three or four times over the clause before the Committee, anti bad previously stated the amendments proposed. Mr. HUNT tht tight tire Noble Lord would avoid many difficulties, even many objections, and render the Bill much more satisfactory to the country at large, it he at once adopted the suggestion, that eveey householder who contri butes to the rates anti taxes should be at liberty to vote. Numbers were, ire was sure, the best of all securities against undue influence, and tire use of bribery. Loa to Preston. There were seven thousand voters in Preston ; and he should like to see the man who would attempt to obtain their votes through the means of bribery. With respect to that part of the clause which required the pay ment of a rent of ten pounds to qualify a householder to vote, tie should like to know whether those persons would be qualified who paid a runt of ten pounds as rent, but a part of which went to the landlord on account of rates which he engaged to pay for them ? There were a vast windier of houses of that description, both in the country, arid in the vicinity of the metropolis. Reflections bad been cast on the respectability of the ten-pound house holders, and it was said they were in the country comprned of grocers arid chandlers; but he could tell the House that the grocers and chandlers of a market town were persons movine in the better ranks of life, and composing what is called the middling rhos of society. It was very different in the vicinity of tire metropolis. In Lambeth, fur in stance, where you could not enter an alley or a lane, in which the occupiers of the houses did not pay much route than 101. rent, and even let out single rooms in them by the week to others, at a rent amounting to ten or fifteen pounds yearly. He again pressed on tine Noble Lord the propriety of adopting his recommendation. Sir R. PEEL was willing to p,stpone his further op position to this clause of the Bill, until he srw whether they were likely to make any progress with the others ; because he must confess be really began to sympathise with tiro two Noble Lords (Russell and Althorp) on the delay now thrown in the wty of their Bill by those who pro fessed thennielves its strongest supporters.—(Cheers and laughter.) Tirey were all anxious and ready to pass the destructive clauses of the Bill; but the moment they came to consider in what manner they were to repair that des truction by the constructive el ruses, they were met by ob jections aud grounds of rid from those who professed ahem elves most favourable to Reform. The order book Was crowded with notices. An Hon. Member (Mr. Hugh es Hughes) had no less than four—(Heart hear, hear)—and Ire (Sir Robert Pee!) must say, he did not see how in the present prospect of affairs they could get over the eenstructive clauses for some months.—(Hear.) He wished however, to put one question to the Noble l e ,ed on a subject connected with that pat t t:f the clause now under considerati on . As the clause stood at pre sent, the person whs was qualify d to vote on account of t h e payment of rent, must have paid all the rent due at the quarter before the Period he Might be called en to vine - s e w, in the Midland counti e s, t h e custom was to pry the . sent of uric quarter at the c ommencement of tlenex; quarter, that is to say, the rent due at. Michaelma s about Christmas. Now, the effect of the . oause would he to rain r this custom, for it required teat cu p erson should be entitled Iv vote who had not paid up all the rent due be- of their rent to the period mentioned, they' would not be entitled to exercise their franchise. This part of the clause would be to them, therefore, a source of great disappoint ment and entharrassment. Lord JOHN RUSSELL Raid that the ease put by the Right Hon. Baronet explained the nature of the different kindA of qualification specified in the clause, and supported tie propriety of the alterations proposed since the intro duction of the Bill. If a 10/. householder was able to show, either from the payment of his assessment or of poor rates, what was the yearly value of his tenement, it would be sufficient that these rates or taxes were paid up •to the Ist of July. If, however, the person who claimed to vote could not show the yearly value of his house through his payments of rates or taxes, the only method through which he could prove his right to vote was by the payments of hi.: rent ; and in that case they certainly did require, although it might be a cause of some jealousy, that the rent should be paid up to the time specified in the clause. Sir ROBERT PEEL thought that the clause would present the greatest opening to bribery which could well be devised. What was the qualification required by the Noble Lord ? The payment of the tates and taxes. An in solvent tenant, therefore, who did not pay his tent, but who might raise the means of paying his rates, would be entitled to the exerciie of the franchise.—(Hear, hear.) If that was to be the qualification, any tenant who held a houie of 101. rent, which he was not able to pay, mik;lit vet the candidate to pay his totes and so entitle him to vote. If the Bill did not destroy bribery altogether, this part of the clause would greatly increase it. ' Mr. C. WYNN said that about thitteen or fourteen years ao the practice of prying rates to entitle a house holder to vote was carried to a most shameful extent in the city of Westminster. With respect to that part of the clause which prescribed the time fur the payment of the rates, he begged to say that be believed there were scrrcely any rates collected in the metropolis between July and the end of August. Lord ALTHORP was touch surprised to hear the Right Hon. Baronet say that the clause would increase bribery. Undoubtedly there was bribery under the present system, and rates were paid in order to qualify householders to vote. These rates were, however, paid at the moment the vote was carried. Now, under the Bill it would be neces sary that the candidate should p the rates and taxes every year previous to the Act of Registration—(Hear)—in order to have the vote ready at the time of election. The candidate must, in fact, be able to tell when an election would commence, and to have all the rates paid by his voters beforehand in anticipation of that election.— (Hear.) He ( Lord Althorp) did not mea❑ to contend that bribery of this kind would be rendricd impossible; but he must say that in his opinion it would be much less frequent and practicable.—(hear.) Sir R. PEEL said that according to the wording of the clause, the person who got his name on the registry would not be entitled to vote till the end of the following year ; so that in point of fact, the candidate would have to pay- but one year's rates to qualify his voters for the poll. This was called bribery; but was it se? Ile doubted very much whether the practice of paying rates and taxes to enable a voter to qualify was bribery; an I he believed that no Election Committee of that House had ever de• tided it was so. After some conversation between Mr. Wynn, Lord Al thorp, Colonel Davies, and Sir Charles Wetherell, on this suhjeer, ALTHORP said, he had already explained the clause three times in the best way he could, and he did nut think it necessary to say anything further.—( Hear.) Sir E. SUGDEN said, the Noble Lord did not seem to b, aware of the fact, that a lain lord who possessed a num-• her of 101. houses, and who had any reason to believe his ten ints would not vote as he pleased, might refuse to receive his rent at the time specified, and thereby disqualify his tenants. Lord ALTHORP replied, that the landlord, in the ease put by the Hon. and Learned Gentleman, mu►t be pos sessed of the power of foretelling the approach of all new elections, and at the same time determine to injure himself by not receiving his runt.—(Hear, and a laugh.) That would be a very pool' thing for the tenant; but very bad, he thought, for the landlord. Sir E. SUGDEN reminded the Noble Lord that the nidlord had the power to recover afterwards, whenever :le plesed. If the Noble Lord confined himself to the payments for assessments or taxes as the test of value, he would at once get rid of all the objections arising front the pa)ment of rent.—(Hear.) Tie words of the clause under discussion were then agreed to. Colonel WOOD took that opportunity of obsoiving, that he withdrew his opposition on the question arising out of the pont of registry at that moment; but he begged to be understood, as reserving himself for a future stage of the Bill if tl.e registry ;at of it should be agreed to. On that pact of the clause which requites that the taxes and poor-rates be paid up— Mr. WYNN complained thst a longer period than six weeks was not allowed for that pnrpose. There were a number of reapecttble pet sons in the metropolis who did not attend to the payment of their taxes at the time mentioned, and who would, therefore, run the risk of being disqualified. Lord J. RUSSELL said, that from the strictest inquiry, Le was able to state that the assessed tixts, although leg :11),r dLe every quarter, were generally paid twice a year. Now, by naming the 1-t day of July, the clause specially excluded those taxes due on the half-year ending the s:h of July, vo that all the taxes title on the sth of January, would be paid at the time the qualification for registry became necessary; and a;I the taxes due on the sth of July would, although due, not be in process of collection. Mr. WILKS having observed, that in all the counties of Engin:Ad the rates were ptid quarterly-, Mr. HUNT said that the twor rags were always in course of payment, and that there was no period of the year in which a rate might not be nude or demanded. He themzht that the Government, in this plan of qualification, gal hit on a vet y good fiscal measure, hotvever obj-etion :tile it night be in other respects. The people would find t! ..t the Government had found out an excellent pl to Mr exacting a steady payment of the rates and taxes, as a qua ification under the Reform Bill. After a few words from Mr. WiLirs, Mr. Hum-, arid Lord A urnoßr, Sir C. WETHERELL ruse, and was received with loud (lies of " Question." Ile observed that those who thus cried " Quotion" could not he R , -foriners. Ile appeared before them as the supporter of Reform. He ruse to speak o n this ques ion al anticus populi. llc wished to point out tie d ifficulries under which the people would find thou , Ives in establishing their qualifications on the threefold i-oint of t.ixes, rate ,, , and rent. Lotd ALTHMIII ) , having observed Lgain that the qua lification by rent would be required only un the absence of qualific , tiou from rates and taxes, Mr. F. LEWIS said, that in all the counties where the tenantry were in the habit of p tying one half year's rent under the other—that is, paying the Midsummer rent at the time the Chi htinas became due, the clause, as it was now worded, would be exceedingly vexatious. It would, in fact, deprive them of the power of exercising the fran chise at all, unless they made the greatest sacrifices. To be rated for ten pounds was to give a vote. But was that equivalent to living, in a house of the rent of ten pounds ? It was well known that many houses were rated at half their value—many at not a tenth of their value. That mode, thertfore, of ascertaining the qualification of voters would be encumbered with numerous difficulties. The other mode of qualification was Ly the payment of the house t,x. Now, many hou‘es having land did not pay the Lot ; and the lie:laity of the tax must be imposed to enable the occupiers to vote. Tee greatest resort must he had to that which was the most objectionable mode of qualifica• tion, namely, the abstract valua , ion of the prpnises. To that op•-rxi ,n the valuer, the overseer, and the Barrister, would he neee,sary, making it in every respect complicated and inconvenient. Lord AL'I•IIORP explained, and maintained that the varion4 qu❑lificatins had been introduced tot• the purpose of preventing any one from being disqualified to whom it whs intended by the Dill tltht a vt,to should he given. Sir E. B. SuGnEN and Lord ALTlumr mutually ex plained. .Mr. HUNT was so sati,fied of the injurious nature of the clause in its present shape, that he would propose the omission of the word " rent." To nialie the voter pay the rent up to the day rn which he was to vote, would be toast unjust and most unpopular.—(Coughing.) It would be to render the Bill a Landlord', Bill.--( Great e.nuhing.) The peop'e would perfectly know what !hat coughing was ; and he would divide the House on his amenden,nt, in ordt r that the people might see who were friendly to tl.eir interest*, and who were not so. Mr. W. HAIIVEV was sure the Hon. ; limber fur Preston tneant wcll ; but his amendment wt;uld defeat his object. If the qualifications by rent were excluded, it would throw the qu:lification on the ptynient of assessed taxes or of poor rates. The. effect of that weuld he to limit the !Ott of voting to persiMs paying a rent of 151 or 201. a year. He beggtal the attention of the lion. Member for Preston. Mr. HUNT—No!udy would listen to me. Hem Hcm ! That was the way I was tre,ted.—(ollh-r, older, chair, chair.) The CHAIRNIAN ,aid, i.e was sure the Hon. Gentle.- Mr. HUNT t bserved that if he had transgressed the rules of the House, it was by following a bad example. Mr. W. II ARVEY proceeded ; and argued that although lie considered the objection of the Hon. Member for Pres ton, to the paying up of the remt the preceding quarter day, a very solid one, it would be impossible to leave orit the word " rent" for the relons which he had already Lord ALTHORP conten.!ed, that if the payment of a 10/. rent was to be a qualification, it was absolutely ne ces•ary that there should be some security that it was teat illy paid. Mr. HUNT said he had so great an objection to the payment of rent being a qualification, that he would persist in his amendment.—(Coughing.) If he were not IL:an!, he would immediately move an adjournment of the House. The principle to which he objected was a prin ciple which had never before been recognised in the re- pi eentation. Mr. WYNN made a few observations, but the hubbub in the House was so great (as indeed it was during nearly whole of the discussion) that we could Lear only the elll - ph atic words. Lord ALTHORP repeated his last statement. The House then divided. Against the amendment For the amendment IU Majority The Hon. Members who voted for the amendment were—Mr. C. Stewart, Mr. Mills, Lord Castlereagh, Colonel Lindsay, Mr. Trevor, Lord Loughborough, Mr. Freshtield, Mr. Miller, Mr. Yorke, and Mr. Mackillop. Mr. CAMPBELL then, amidst much noise and con- fusion, proceeded to contend that tire provision cf the Bill, whereby tenants paying their rent weekly were entitled to vote after a year's occupation, was contrary to the original and true spirit of the Bal. Ile declared that it would give landlords and not aristocratical landlords, but of a much lower and more objectionab:e clam, an extremely improper power. They would, if their tenants were disposed not to accede to their wishes, have the power of depriving then) of the franchise, in some cases, between the day of pro. clamation arid the 'lay of election. In such a place as Southwark, a man who Lad 500 weekly tenants might absolutely turn the election. The only' remedy in his mind fur this was, to prevent all persons from voting who paid their rent more frequently than four times a year. This was even allowing a latitude, for he could state upon the authority of the most celebrated conveyancers, that there was not a bona fide y early tenant in England who paid his rent more frequently than four times a year. He then moved that these words should be died as an amendment to line 17, page 7, of tine original Bill—" If such rent should be payable more frequently than four times in a year." Lord ALTHORP did not deny that the preposition of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman was worthy of consider anion by the Committee. But he did not think the ob jection of tLe lion. and Learned Gentleman as to the class of persons thus to be made voters was at all tenable, as these tenants must have been a year in the occupati .n of the premises before they could be registered. Ile ad tnitted that the objection respecting the influence of a land lord, who might at a week's notice tutu the tenant out of possession, was worthy of notice. But he thought the ob jection was overrated : for though there might be a l.nd lord who had 500 tenants, yet it was hardly possible to sup pose that any landlord would render v.icant 500 of his houses at onw. Then what was the protection against the possibility of abuse by the influence of the landlord over tenants whom he could so easily dismiss? The protection was, that the landlord would pay the rates in roost of those instances where the tenants were so poor, and by so doing the tenant would lose the right of voting, and the influence could not exist. The effect of this amendment would be to disfranchise nearly all the working classes in the manu facturing districts. One of the great objects of this Bill was to give them a franchise, and he should be sorry to give his support to any measure that would produce such a general disfranchisement. He should oppose the amend ment. Mr. C. FERGUSON should support the amendment, becausz he tliou::,bt that the objections of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman had not been answered by the Noble Lord. To give such a franehiNe to weekly tenants, would be in fact to place a most dangerous power in the hands of landlords, and which might lead to the grossest corruption and abuse. This would part;cularly he the case in the manufacturing towns. The object of the Bill wa; to create an independent constituency; and if be had to choose be tween a numerous and an independent constituency, be should certainly prefer the latter. If the amendment was not adopted, three-fifths of that House would he returned by landlords of these small houses, by the influence they could exercise over their tenants. Mr. NV. EVANS said, he should oppose the amend ment ; for in his neighbourhood there were many persons who paid their rent weekly, and who were very respectable persons. Mr. H. HUGHES said, that a large portion of the freemen of Oxford would lose their votes, as they were non-residents. They had supported the Bill, as they ex ppcted, that though they must lose their votes as non residents, they should get votes in another way-. This amendment would disappoint them in that expectation, and he should theref ire decidedly oppose it. Mr. PEARSE said be should support the amendment. Mr. O'CONNELL opposed the amendment, which, he slid, would disappoint the manufacturing districts, where it would materially diminish the amount of the elrcAve franchise. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman was niis- taken in supposing that a landlord could turn out upon a week's !twice those tenants oho were yearly tenants, merely because they paid their rent weekly. The notice must be according to the tenure, and not according to the time of the payment of rent. . . Sir JAMES SCAIILETT took it for granted tlntt all the fiiends of a radical Refurin would vote against the amendment. But as he was not, and never had been, and never wou!d be, a Radical Ileortner—( Hear, and a laugh) —he should vote with his 1100. and Learned Friend. The tenant who paid his rent weekly could be ejected at a week's notice, i❑ default of paying one week's rent, al hough lie were a yearly tenant. The amendment of his lion. and Learned Friend would give the franchise to that class of operatives who were most likely to exercise it in dependently. If the object of the Bid was to enable a man to v.te according to his judgment and conscience, that object could not be attained without the amendment. If it were rejected, the boroughs would be as much as ever under the controul of individuals.—(Hear•) The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said it way not ueees savy for his lion. and Learned Friend to have talon so much pins to prove he was not a Ito Heal Reformer. Indeed, he (the Attorney-General) could see no grounds fur suspecting his Learned Friend to be a Reformer at all. —(Hear, hear, and a laugh.) The teal question for the Committee to decide was, whether or not they should con ciliate a large, intelligent, and respectable class of the people to the Government of the country.—(Cheers from the Opposition.) If by that cheer it was meant to insi nuate that the clause was framed to concili,te that class to the present Government, he must say the insinuation was most unfounded ; and if the the-r, with that signi fication, came from young Membets, be thought it gave no encouraging earnest of their future conduct. — (Cheers.) The supporter' of the clause stood there for the people of England, and were desirous of giving them representatives in whom they could place confidence — (Cheers)—which could not be the case unless the majority of the people had a voice in the election.—(Cheers.) If his Hon. Friend would consider the effect of his amend anent, he would pet ceive that it would take the franati , e front hoods eds of thousands of his couutrytneu, to whom the clause gave the right of voting, and who were in every respect well qualified to exercise that right with inde pernlence. lle hoped his Hon. and Learned Friend would consider that his amendment would make an invi dious distiliccion throughout the country. It had been said that if numbers and independence were placed in opposite scabs, numbers ought to be rejected for the sake of independence ; but he (the Attorney-General) thought that the best security for independence was nut& e 1...— , (Hear.) It was an I xtreme case to suppose that a tenant • paying weekly should be ejected by his landlord on account of his vote. Was it to be endured that at the same time that they were extending the franchise iu the counties they should tell those operatives that they were a class not tit to exercise the franchise? The Hon. and Learned Gentleman seemed to him to have put the worst con struction upon the motives of mankind. The adoption of the amendineut would create a feeling of distrust towaids the iustitutions of their• country, in a bilge body of the people, who would form a most respectable, independent, and intelligent constituency. Sir R. PEEL said, if the class to which it was pro posed to give the franchise were most intelligent, indepen dent, and respectable, he would ask, how , did it happen that within six weeks from the time when he was speak ing that class were disfranchised ? He could not say that they were disfranchised, inasmuch as they had never had the right ; but they had beer, told that they should have a vote, and upon consideration it was remolved to disfranchise them. After three months' consideration, the Members of his 111:jesty' Government were appalled at the trot k of their own hands, to which, like the monster in the fable, they had been able to give vitality, energy, and power, but which they could not endow with reason and judgment. 'fierier than twice a year. But they had excited the,hopes which they feared to realise, and that was the only ground al which their abandonment of the resolution eatwhich -hey hid come after three months' deliberation could be leferideah—(Hear.) They had given hopes to the humblest class of artisans in Birmingham, Leeds,Shefrael , l, and j.iver poul, that the franchise should be extended to them and when afterwards their intention to withhold it waf le dis cussed at Political Unions, and at other meetings, they were obliged to renounce that intention.—(Cheers.) But why had they held out the hope ?--(Cheers ) Why had they not well considered their project of a new Constitution before they offered it to the Houseand to the country.? Why did they one day give a right to hundreds of thousanda, and in six weeks bring in a Bill to revoke the gift ? There was no class of tenants in the country so dependent as Those who could be ejected at a week's notice upon the iteglect of paying a week's rent. Those tenants in towns were in a very different position from that of the agricul tural tenant at will, who could retain his farm six months after notice to quit had been served upon him. If a place was adequately represented by a constituency of four thoussod, it by no means followed that it would be better represented if it had a constituency of thirty thousand. Those weekly tenants were to be found chiefly in the manufacturing towna, in thigh there exists already an independent and respectable constituency, who would he overborne by the numbers of the class which the clause enfranchised. The introduction of that class into the constituency would deprive prep .rte and intelligence of their due influeuce, and, so far from improving, it would have the effect of degrading the representation.—(Hear.) The powers which were given to assistant-barristers and to overseers, and which system of registration was pro jected by the Bill, would give rise to yearly electioneering contests ; there would be no such thing as an election without a content, and the contest would he renewed upon the Ist of every August.—(Hear, hear.) The House had been told that the Govermnent was now, fur the first time, to be carried on without patronage. For his mart, he (Sir R. Pi el) thought it right, material, just, and reasonable, that the Gove!ntneut should exercise smite in fluence over those whom it emplayed. On that account he had not voted on another night against the Government, for doing in a very simple and disguised way--(A laugh) —that which other Governments before them had done, al though with more discretion. Although he could nut go the whole length of saying with the Right lion. See:etary for Ireland, that every Government had dope the same thing in the same way; yet he thotight it natural and proper that they who were paid by the Govern heat 'should support the Government.— (Hear, hear.) Think ing that it was just, he would not vote again , t it' for the sake of thwarting Ministers, to whom he was opposed upon other grounda.—(Hear, hear.) If, then, he would 1 allow some exercise of influence to them, to whom the or ders and forms of the House forbade it,, how was he to re fuse to the landlord his natural influence over his tynnts ? But at the satire time he could not conceal from himaef, that the voters to whom the franchise would be given by the present clause would be the victims of electioneering influence, anal would he subjected to .all the controul which a landlord can exercise over a weekly tenant.—(Hear.) The independence of the electors of Liverp sob, Norwich, Sheffield, and other places, was lucre secure upon the pre sent system than it would be under that Reform Bill ; which, although it would gratify a great number of the people, it would in its more remote influence diminish the respectability of the representation, and ist the larger towna it would confirm and perpetuate that undue influence which could fairly, however, be discouraged, as indeed it would be by the amendment of his Hon. and Learned Friend, to which he should give his support.—(Much cheering, and loud cries of " withdraw and divide.") Mr. DENISON was understood to support the amendment. Lord VILLIERS said a few words which were imper fectly hard; but was understood to support the amendment. Mr. CHOKER obs:Tved, that the Attorney-General had designated tl e amendment as cruel and dangerous, and asked was it to be endured? He (Mr. Croker) would ask the House, was not the provision in question precisely the same US that introduced into the Scotch Reform Bill? In that point was not that Bill exacqy the suite as that nefarious amendment of the Hon. Gentleman opposite ? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, that at the t'm the Bill was framed it was not generally known that in the manufacturing districts a weekly tenure was prevalent. Mr. CHOKER said the Scotch Bill was introduced and laid upon the table of the House so late as the Ist of July Mr. GILLON thought the amendment, if carried, would have no effect in Scotland ; for a weekly tenure was not wand in that part of the United Kingdom. Mr. HUNT said that all true Reformers would support Ministers against the present amendment ; for their defeat in that might prove deeply injurious to the success of the Bill. When a proposition of his was recently before the House, there were many Members who spoke in favour of it, and voted against it, on the ground that it might prove injurious to the Bill. As to the amendment, the mischief of it, if carried, would be felt not only in the manufacturing, but in the metropolitan districts, and therefore the Minis ters should have his full support. Mr. CAMPBELL briefly replied. Lord JOHN RUSSELL observed, that though most of the tenures referred to were by yearly rigreementa, yet the tenants could he dispossessed at a week's notice. Mr. CAMPBELL denied that leases with such a proviso wtte to be inund. Ilr.

FRE A Gil PAPERS (From Galignancs Messenger of Tuts;lay.l Extract of a letter from Frankfort, - d4ted Angtifit 17 :—" Commercial letters from Vienna, received this morning by estafette, state that in consequence of the neglect of one of the sentinels of the cordon sanitafte,a journeyman carpenter from Hungary was enabled to reach his native village, at about three leagues from Vienna. lie very soon after displayed all the symptoms of the Asiatic cholera. The sen tinel was immediately tried by a court-martial, con demned, and executed within twenty-four hours. The alarm has in consequence greatly increased, lest the disease should reach the capital, and the road to Lintz begins to be covered with travellers leaving Vienna. The present topic of discus::ion in our di plomatic circles is a note said to be addressed by the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh to those of Vienna and Berlin, It is reported to Lea detailed :gatemen: of the sacrifices in men and money made by Russia in her endeavours to stifle the insurrection of the Poles. The amount is so considerable, that every one is surprised that the resources of the empire are not exhausted. The conclusion of the statement is, that after the enormong sacrifices made by Russia for the common interest of all legitimate sovereigns, she expects that the two Cabinets will join her in her jut endeavours. The effect produced by this note is riot known ; but there are some persons who conceive that it is a prclude to concesiious which Nicholas intends to make to the Poles, in order to put an end to a ruinous war, arid at the same time to induce his allies to employ their influence with tie latter to accede to accommo:lation upon reason able term s ." Letters from Vienna state that the cholera morbus has broken out at Bruch, four leagues from that capital. The Emperor of Austria has quitted Vienna, and shut himself up with all his family and all the Ambassadors in his Palace at Schoenbrunn. Giobo. The Augsbuig Gazelle has the following, dated Berlin, August 13 :—" Our politicians assert that peace cannot be maititained, and that war is una voidable ; but they at the same time confess that our moral and physical strength is very inadequate. Of the ;:.:0,000,000 which had been aniaised at the Treasury, there are only tire remaining, and the greater part of the army is on the frontiers of Po land. According to reports which arrived yesterday from General Kiafft, symptoms of the cholera have brol:ti Out in that army, in consequence of which the troops of General Gielgud, who had hitherto been free from the disease, begin to be disorderly, alleging the fear of being infected. It was intended to send these troopq, after having performed their quarantine, into the interior, and employ thn men in repairin g the roads. The officers were to be quartered iu the different towns of Eastern Prussia. All the troops here have again received orders to hold themselves ready to march. It is said that a courier has been sent after Prince Albert to the Hague, to call him back to Berlin," We learn from \Vurtzburg, that the inhabitants of that town have followed the example set them by the I lungarians, and addressed a petition to the King of Bavaria in favour of the Poles, entreating hint to take measures to insure their independence as a nation. They offer to embark their lives and for tut:es in this struggle between I:berty and tyranny ; and inquire who, if the Poles are subdued, will pro tect themselves against Ran.sian despotism ; that war which is spreading terror throughout the civi lized world, and the indiction of the plague which follows in its train ? If treaties preventel his M 4.• i,sty from yielding to their prayers, they entreat him to aglow them as individuals to exert themselves in so noble a ca use. They hope that the King, by cons• nting tacitly, if not openly to their• wishes, will prove that the national spirit ►s not enchained as in those countries win-re the inhabitants are but serfs, having no other will than that of their lords, and where the treaties that bind Cabinets and Govern ments at the same time enervate the people. The Emperor of Austria has lately concluded an arrangement with the Sovereign Princes and free towns of Germany, for ieciprocally delivering up de serters and refractory conscripts. The King of Prussic is said to have de,:lared, that . . if the cholera reachrs Berlin, he will immediately withdraw the cordon sanitaire, the expences of which are too burdensome, amounting to no less than 200,000 thalers, or nearly 80,000 f. per day. Bx•ract of a private letter of the 15th inst., tram Berlin :—" We learn from Tilsit, that lately about 50 Polish soldiers, with several office's, made an at tempt to escape from the camp at Zickamechnen, but were obi ged by the cordon, with which they are surrounded, to fall back. Several muskets were fired, and one of the Polish soldiers wounded. Pro ceedings have bee❑ commenced against such of the Poles as were implicated in this affair. It is as serted that their swords have been taken from the ollieer,;, who had hitherto been allowed to wearthem." According to a. letter from Vienna, there are no rower than Urtween 20,000 and 30,000 workmen in that capital without employ. The Government have employed some cf them upon the roads and embank ments. Every means are taken to exclude foreign workmen. We announced a few days ago a hostile meeting in Vie Buis de Boulogne between General Sebas tiani, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and General La marque, arising out of a hostile, s peech of the latter in the Chamber of Deputie , , in which he represented M. Lebeau, Belgian Minister for Foreign Affairs, its the Sebastiani of Belgium. The seconds present on this occasion, General Jacqueminot and M. de Rumigny, were those chosen by General Sebactiani, whose adversary expressed himself satisfied with their presence alone, and declined appoint rig any on his own behalf. The affair having been arranged without any shots being exchanged, a detailed ac count of the circumstances attendant upon the in tended duel wa3 published by the Tribune, the te nour of which betrayed on the part of General Sebastiani's seconds more anxiety to settle the diffe rence without fighting than is usually considered consistent with the honour of the principal whom they are called upon to represent. A letter was in con sequence addressed to the. Editor of the Tribune by General Jacquemicot and M. de Remigny, in which hey contradict a great number of the Circumstances stated in the report of that Journal, and enter into an explanation which General Lunarque interpreted as unfavourable to himself. Another meeting in consequence took place yesterday morning in the Bois de Boulogne, Admiral de Riutly acting as the second of General Sebastiani, and ' General Harispe as that of General Lamurque. Two pistol shots having been exchanged without injury to either party, the accords interfered, and the affair was amicably settled. A deplorable event happened on the 20,11 instant at Havre. Twenty-five men, who had suddenly stepped into one of the boats which serve as a ferry when the bridge at the bar is drawn up, sunk with the boat, which had come in contact with the anchor of a vessel just arrived, and every one perished. (From the Constitutionnel of Tuesday, Aug. 23.) (PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.) BRUSSELS, AUG. 20.—1 t is generally believed that the French army will occupy the most impor tant fortresses, at least till France shall have been repaid the expences of the putting an army of 50,000 men on the war establishment. Notwithstanding ali the denials of certain journals at Brussels, it is probable that this expedition,which has been solely directed to maintain Belgian policy, will have to be paid fur by Belgium, at least the greater portion of it. There were 800 Dutch wounded in the hospitals of Tirlemont : some still remain there. The French army is in excellent health. (From the Quotidicnne.) PARIS, AUG, 22.—Yesterday evening the Russian Legation despatched a courier to St. Petersburgh. An extraordinary courier from the French Am. bassador at Vienna arrived yesterday at the office of the Minister for Foreign Affa'rs. The contents of the despatches have not transpired.

Th ey expresse d regret that the wcrt' Alderman seem e d t o h ave f orgotten that he had aule°„jlf proud-ed to vote with his Majesty's Ministers all 61; the Reform Bill; that whatever objections might natal's' mad inevitably arise to any of the details, all idea of 0 1; 1 1 sitiun should be mer ge d i n t h e great o bj ect i tsel f , and $. -local advanta g e s b e wave d i n cons id eration of the P°lll good. They felt that his Majesty's Ministers wr strenuously exerting themselves to advance the . deliberations upon which were necessarily tedious count of the enormous and complicated machinery Alderman VENARLES did not recollect that hell! a promis,a of implicit adherence to every clause wi Majesty's Ministers might propose. Several of the Members declared that the coedi the worthy Aldermsn' s election was, that he shot deviate at all from the course which his Majesty's N had set out upon ; that he should sacrifice his judgm,int as to local interests and advantages, in expedite the passing of the Bill. Alderman VzNaesi.Es said, that taking it for , that he had made an unconditional promise, he did fl ° consider it a violation of his duty to vote for f; amendment of which so considerable a majority orA proved, and which appeared to him to be an impl l rt afi i! improvement of the Bill itself and an act of justice to great [Trois of the people. He really felt it a point ` r ot conscience to vote upon that occasion, not so much again his Majesty's Mi n i s t ers as i n f avour o f persons w h o o ugh t not to be excluded from the constituency. The Committee, we understand, so forcibly urged t A il l e , necessity of a mor e s t r i c t o b servance upon t h e part of "d Merman Venables of the great condition which they It s , founded their choi ce o f representatives upon, a s to dea l from the worthy Abl erman au assurance that there should be no further cause of complaint.
