WILLIAM BARNARD, Keeper. the bill which had hsen propased already by auntie hon. gentleman. He would not now enter into th. particulars of his measure, as they would have r, be discussed hereafter. The object of his bill wa , that those who might he about to purchase estates should be sure that such estates would become their own, and that those who might be disposed to lend money on mort gage should be satisfied that their money would be per fectly secured. Mr. W. BROUGHAM thought the measure now proposed to he brought in identically the same as his (Mr. Brougham's), both in principle and machinery, with this difference, that whereas he (Mr. B.) proposed that the registration should be established in London ; the present proposed measure intended that registration offices should be established, probably, one in each county throughout England. Under these circumstances be begged to put it to the hon. member whether it would not be better to save the expense of having a new bill brought in for that difference only, and that he should move, probably in the form of an amendment, when his (Mr. Brougham's) bill was in committee, fur the insertion of a clause to be introduced in that bill for the appointment of district offices. He merely prorosed this for the consideration of the hon. gentleman. Mr. CAYLEY made an observation which was in audible, but it was clear be did not accede to the propo shion of the last speaker, inasmuch as he availed himself of the leave which he had obtained to bring in the bill.

SECS ND EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT, THIS EVENING. HOUSE OF LORDS. Mr. BERNAL, Sir H. ErtaaussoN, and other members of the Home of Commons, brought up the Sugar Duties Bill, the Runcorn-gap Railway Amendment Bill, the Bristol Railway Amendment Bill, and the Warwick Borough Bill. WARWICK BOROUGH BILL. The Earl of DURHAM, in moving the first reading of this bill, stated that the object of the bill was to extend the right of election to the 101. householders of Leaming ton Priors. It was not customary, in moving the first reading of a bill, to enter into its details ; and following that course, he begged to give notice, that in case the bill should be opposed, which he had no reason to expect, it having passed through the Lower House unanimously, he should ask that the further consideration of the bill stand over till after the recess. If any opposition was offered to the bill he should also wish to move that a message should be sent to the House of Commons, request ing a copy of the report of the committee on the Warwick Borough Election ; in the second reading he should in addition, if the bill was opposed, consider it ne cessary to go into the whole discussion on the bill, but if it was not he should be most happy to be spared the trou ble of entering into so disag reeable a subject. At present he should content himself with merely moving that the bill be read a first time. The bill was then read a first time. EASTER RECESS. Lord ELLENBOROUGH, in alluding to certain papers relative to the correspondence that had taken place between the Board of Control and the East India Direc tors, relative to the mandamus applied for against them in the Court of King's Bench, wished to know from the noble earl opposite, when the Easter recess would commence and terminate, and whether the paper he had referred to would be laid on the table before or after the recess Earl GREY said that it bad been usual for that house to adjourn for the Easter recess on the Wednesday previous to Good Friday ; but as the General Quarter Sessions would commence in that week, and as many noble lords were desirous of attending ihem, he should propose, if it met with the approbation of their lordships, that the house should adjourn on Monday the 26th of March, to Monday the 14th of Aprtl. Lord LYTTLETON presented a petition In m tha Dissenters of the Lye in the Waste, near Stourbridge, praying for relief from the disabilities under which they laboured. The noble lord took that opportunity of stating that a mistake had occurred relative to some of the peti tions he had presented on a former evening ; particularly with reference to a petition from Redditch, it having been stated as proceeding from Reading. BEER SHOPS. The noble lord also presented a petition from the officiating ministers, parish officers, and overseers of Sidg ley, against the beer shops. The noble lord trusted that the petition, coming from such an authority, and relating to so so so numerous and important a district, would be attended to, and that the subject would not be suffered to sleep, but would be taken up and properly settled during the present session. Lord DUNDAS presented petitions from Dissenters in different parts of the country praying for relief. The Duke of ARGYLE presented a petition from Cam bletown against church patronage. Lord DACRE presented petitions from Pontypool, in Monmouthshire, and from a parish in Cambridge, praying for the removal of the disabilities under which the Dis senters laboured. Viscount MELBOURNE presented a prtition from Inverury against church patronage. ANNANDALE PEERAGE. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY presented a petition from a person named Joseph Johnson, praying that the case, which was fixed for hearing on the 18th of the present month, might be postponed. OBSERVANCE OF THE SABBATH. The Bishop of ROCHESTER presented petitions from two parishes in the county of Kent for the better ob servance of the Sabbath. NORTH AMERICAN POSTAGE BILL. The Duke of RICHMOND, in moving the second read ing of this bill,stated,that its objectwas to give permission to the locul legislature of Canada to reduce their rates of post. age, lo allow them a moderate postage upon the transmission of newspapers, and to dotroy the privilege of franking newspapers, which had existed in that country in the post-masters from time immemorial. The bill was then read a second time, and ordered to he committed. The Bishop of LONDON presented petitions from pa rishes in the counties of Glamorgan, ➢Montgomery, Den bigh, and Norfolk, praying for some legislation to enforce the observance of the Sabbath. The Earl of DURHAM then rose to present the peti tion of which he had given notice; it was from 76 physi cians practising in London, and within 7 miles of it, who were licentiates of the College of Poysicians, complaining of the by laws which were acted upon by the Fellows— their exclusion from the library and museum of the Col lege, 84e. The noble earl said the petition was signed by more than one half of the physicians who were practising within the seven miles. While upon such a subject as this, it was worth the attention of the house, to see how London was supplied with the higher branch of the profession, as compared with other capitals; that was a subject that n aurally forced itself upon one's attention, when the petition set forth that the public were the sufferers by the numi;er being limited, on account of the working of the by laws. In London, where there was a population of fifteen hundred thousand, there were only one hundred and eighty practising physicians—in Berlin where there was a population of 24,900 there were 228 physicians, while in Pariswith its population of 935,000, there were no fewer than 925 physicians in full practice. It might be said that Paris was too well supplied, but that was not the question ; it was rather to see whether, by the operation of the bye-laws of the College of Lon don the public were not forced to go to a lower grade of the profession than they would otherwise do, if there was a more liberal supply of the higher. The charter of the, college was granted so long back as the 10th of Henry the Eighth, and if it had been acted upon the college would have been mast beneficial ; but it had been allowed to fall into disuse, and the corporation was now entirely governed by the bye laws complained of. He under.tood that in the 300 years that the college had existed it had only published eighteen volumes of its transactions, while another society, which had been refused a charter through the interference of the col lege, had also published eighteen volumes within a period of 30 years. He (the noble lord) wished only that the profession should be open to all of any persuasion, and that the fellowship should not be confined to the graduates of Oxford and Cambridge ; he also wished that there should be a just superintendence of the whole medical profession throughout the kingdom. As the petition was one of very great importance, he would take the liberty of moving that the petition be read by the clerk. The petition was then read at length. The principal points were embraced in the observations of the noble earl. Lord MELBOURNE said that without giving an opinion on the various points that bad been stated by his noble and learned friend, or upon those contained in the petition, he thought it was due to the medical body in London that something should be done with regard to the medical profession, and probably their lordships would be aware that there was a committee appointed in order to take the whole matter into their consideration, and if his noble and learned friend was desirous of embarking their lordships into a similar inquiry, he for• one should offer no opposi tion to it.—(Hear, hear.) The Earl of DURHAM said he Lad another petition to present, which was from the medical practitioners of Sunderland. With regard to what the noble viscount had stated, he did not know whether the medical gentle. men who had intrusted hlm with their petition would consider it necessary to have a committee of their lord ships upon the question. They had stated they were perfectly aware of the existence of a committee of the other house of parliament, but they wished that their case should be brought before their lord ships. If any further request should be made, to him by those gentlemen he would take the first oppor tunity of communicating it to their lordships. Lord ELLENBOROUGH said it appeared to him from the statement that had been made, and from the little information that he possessed on the subject, that this was a question as to the convenience rather of individuals than the public, for it should, in jus tice to the medical profession be stated that the average mortality in this metropolis was very much smaller than either in Berlin or Paris, in which it was supposed time wants of the community were better administered and attended to. In London the average was one out of 40, in Paris one out of 32, and in Berlin one out of 35. The Earl of DURHAM observed that if the noble baron pus h e d the matter to that extent the feeling would be de cidedly in favour of apothecaries practising to the exclusion of physicians, because there were by far a greater number of apothecaries practising in those places than physicians ; and therefore, according to the noble baron's statement, the cause of the mortality being less then than it was in London, would be owing to the apothecaries being superior:to the physicians. Lord ELLENBOROUGH confessed he was incompe • tent to form an opinion upon that subject, inasmuch as he had never consulted a physician in the whole course of his life.—(Hear, hear, and laughtor.) The Maritime Mutiny Bill went through a committee, and was ordered to be read a third time to morrow. The Sugar Duties Bill and the Bristol Railway Bill were read a first time. The house then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the chair at five o'clock. Mr. BARNARD presented a petition from a person named George Jones, against the Southampton Railway Bill. Mr. GUEST presented petitions from the dissenters of Merthyr T)dvil, Glamorganshire, and Cardiff. Mr. MAXWELL presented a petition from the pa- rochial schoolmasters of Lanark, in Scotland, praying for an increas . 2 of their salaries—(Laughter)—which were disproportioned to their services. They submitted that the sum of 601. annually was a fair minimum, and 75/. the maximum. Mr. LEWIS moved that a new writ be issued for the borough of Thirsk, Yorkshire, in the room of Sir R. Frankland. Alderman WOOD presented a petition from a congre gation of Dissenters in Barbican, City of London. Air. GILLON gave notice that on the 6th of May he should move for a committee of inquiry regarding the certific 'tea for the sale of wine and spirits. Sir HENRY HARDINGE presented a petition for the repeal of the malt tax, from the parish of St. Mary Mag dalen, Cornwall. Mr. WILBRAHAM presented a petition from the Dissenters of Morpeth, county of Chester. Colonel DAVIES asked whether the evening sitting was a proper time for the presenting of petitions? The SPEAKER said that the house commenced sitting at five o'clock, and until it was prepared to enter into the business of the evening, it was arranged that petitions should be presented in the interval. BANK OF ENGLAND. Mr. CAYLEY moved for returns of the'annual amount of notes issued by the Bank of England, and the total amount of the same for the last five years. DEATHS AND MARRIAGES (REGISTRATION). Mr. WILKS begged to ask the noble lord the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, whether his Majesty's Go vernment bad received any notice of the intention of the honourable and learned member for Southwark, to introduce a bill for a geeneral registration of deaths and marriages? He also begged to inquire whether his Majesty's government bad resolved to sanction that bill ? Lord ALTHORP said the hon. and learned member for Southwark bad introduced his hill without having had any previous communication with the government. His Majesty's government was decidedly favourable to the general registration of deaths and marriages, and therefore to the principle] of the hon. and learned member's bill ; but until they had heard what the details were, they could not pledge themselves to its entire support.—(Hear.) Mr. BARING presented a petition from the Trusters o f the British Museum.—Laid on the table. AGRICULTURAL DISTRESS. Mr. P. B. THOMPSON presented a petition from Bridlington, in Yorkshire, complaining of agricultural distress. Mr. O'REILLY moved for returns of the amount of duties charged upon foreign vessels entering the ports of Ireland, and some returns connected with the B►llast Office. REGISTRATION OF DEEDS. Mr. CAYLEY rose, in pursuance of a notice he had given on the first day of the session, to move for leave to bring in a bill to establish a public registration of all deeds, incumbrances, &c. affecting lands and tenements in England and Wales. He had given that notice in consequence of a bill which bad been introduced last session by the hon. member for Southwark, which had been lost on the second reading.—(He.ar.) In tLe inter mediate time that honourable member had given notice that he would bring in another bill to the same effect, to that course he (Mr. Cayley) bad not the slightest objec tion. The course which he (Mr. C.) proposed to adopt was this—in case the house allowed him an opportunity to bring in a bill, and gave him leave to have it printed, be did not intend to interfere in the slightest way with the bill of the honourable member for Southwark. He con fessed that be anticipated the some results as had taken place last session, but he believed that his (Mr. C.'s) bill would be more satisfactory to the public. After the report of the revenue commissioners, he did not conceive the country had any other alternative than to dill on the house to pass either such a bill as Ile had now the honour to move for leave to bring in, or THE BISHOPS. Mr. CUTHBERT RIPPON, in rising to make his motion, which was to relieve the archbishops and bi shops from their judicial functions in the House of Lords, stated that he was well aware of the difficul ties with which he was surrounded. However, he did not bring it forward from any love of popularity, but he offered it from a long formed conviction of its necessity. He wished to enlist no partizans, and no party feeling, in the question, nor was he about to touch upon any theoretical topics, or to discuss the policy of the connection between church and state. His only object was to offer his motion as a measure of policy. lie could not forbear calling the attention of the house to the opinion of one whose opinion was entitled to great weight—viz., Lord Bacon. LThe hon. member then quoted a passage from Lord Bacon, but in so low a tone that it warm not heard in the Gallery.] Two hundred years had since elapsed, and the establish ment had still been continued. But a revolt had taken place in the minds of men—an intelligent commnity had demanded a reform in the church. He maintained that it was the first duty of all civil governments to afford satis faction to those by whose opinions they were maintained. He requested the house to observe the signs of growing discontent, and to remember by what means the reforma tion advanced. It was not his intention to weary the attention of the house by referring to times long gone by, nor should he consider that the right of Bi• shops to sit in Parliament was sanctioned by ancient usage. The times changed the condition of circum stances—the superior knowledge and education of the clergymen had enabled them to maintain a superior influ ence in former times over the people, and when nobles were unlettered, and kings could scarcely sign their names. At the time of A'Becket, the office of Chancellor was filled by churchmen. At that time there sat in the other house three or four archbishops, besides bishops, abbots, and priors, making in the whole 54 or 55 ecclesiastic s He considered the present as the first step in church re form. He wished to begin with the heads of the esta blishment, in order to show to the inferior clergy that they wouid act with impartiality. They ought then to consider whether it was meet or useful that the heads of the Christian church, whose duty rendered it necessary that they should be retired from the world, whose profession was utility, who had announced the pumps and vanities of the world, was it meet or proper that they should be made agents in political affairs. Was it right to impose such duties upon those who were set apart for the service of God, and whose proper and sole duty ought to be the case of the church of Christ. What then were the evils of the present system ? They were pluralities, non-residence, and the unjust division of wealth. What was it that caused non-residence of the bishops, or at least in some measure justified it, but their compulsory absence from their bishoprics to attend in the other house ? And the unequal division of wealth was justified by the extraordinary expenses which their attendance upon their political duties required. They were compelled to mix with the splendour of the metropolis; to share in its ' pleasures, and to gratify their pride, luxury, and in. dolence.—(Hear, hear.) Before he proceeded, he would, with theie permission, examine an argument which had been put forth by the friends of the establishment in justification of the practice of sitting in the other house of Parliament. It was said that they were the representa tives of the great body of the clergy, and that they watched over the :temporal and spiritual welfare of the church. But were they chosen by the clergy? No, they were or dained as virtually appointed by the King. How, then, could they be called the representatives of the clergy when the clergy had no voice in their selection. They were, i❑ fact, state made parliament men. Private interest and court favour offered a more powerful recommendation than private worth. The evils of translation made the bishops dependent upon ministerial favour. The possession of state patronage must necessarily create an adverseness to change, as its effect must be to diminish t' eir power. They ought also to see whether the conduct of parties entrusted with this power was such as to create a tendency to oppose all political improvements, for the purpose of maintaining that power which they at present held.— The pages of history were full of evidence that the object of episcopal ascendancy was to support despotism, but he would not now go over the history of former times, as every gentleman acquainted with it was able to form his own judgment. The plea of exclusive knowledge being invested in the clergy, or the heads of the church, was no longer valid, and it was very desirable that those exalted persons should exhibit the force of example, and show that their engagement in the of fices they held was purely from a desire to promote the cause of religion. The ministry of the word would fur nish sufficient and full employment fur the prelates, espe cially when it was recollected that they were overseers of hundreds of subordinate shepherds, from whose circle they were now removed for a long period throughout the year. The establi-hment had property, it was true, to a considerable amount in its temporalities, which ought certainly to be represented, but not by the bishops or any other officers of religion whose peculiar duty was to pro mote the practice of good works, purity of conduct, and spirituality of mind.—( Hear, hear•.) In fact, the property of the church was sufficiently represented already, inasmuch as the clergy were entitled to vote for representatives in the House of Commons. Let it then be shown that they took office, not for the sake of filthy lucre, and let the head of the church be considered as the guardian of their interests.—(Hear, hear.) The pret late and the pastor would then be enabled to turn their• eyes only to the duties of religion, and disencumber themselves from all secular and worldly concernr. A menage was sent from the House of Lords, for a report of the committee that sat on the Warwick Borough Bill.—As..ented to. Mr. GILLON seconded the motion of his friend, the hon, member for Gateshead. It was one which had the attention of the public out of doors, and de. served to be entertained with a corresponding degree of attention in that house.--(Hear.) He would follow the example of his hon. friend, and be brief in his re marks. He should concede that as far as usage went to stnction the practice of clergymen being legislators, that lay on the other side of the question. From the most re mote periods the clergy were allowed to legislate. Before a parliament sat at all the clergy were the only instructors of princes, and were admitted into the Concilium of the nation. But the antiquity of the practice was no reason why it should be continued, on the contrary, it was a reason why it should be the more speedily abolished. — (Hear.) In the year 1641 a bill was i n troduced into parliament for the purp o s e of disabling bishops to sit in the legislature. Their right was defended then on three grounds—namely, th e a n tiquity of the practice; the little harm likely to he done by the absence of those pre lates from their dioceses once every three years; an d lastly , the great probability that the respect in which they were h e ld by the public might be impaired important point their removal from the legislatuie. The iere o anl no w that the absence of one tsars occasioned frequently, n point of a bish o p' s residingad for r so diocese lo in hisnga me was ti c , o con sideredit should meet with much more consideratio n . If the superintendence of the bishops over their dioceses was so requisite, how was it to be supposed that, in addi tion to these ditties, they should take upon themselves the yes so. quainted with the intt its pro ceedings of the day? , icing the hon. member of that h, onerous. When, in addition to these dot, aided those of promoting and extending religion among the p? , pie, who, he would ask, would be able to such a task? The third objection, that it would take away from the respect . hich they at present enjoyed from the people, if they were de )rived of their sea's in the other holm., was by no means a good one, the effet t would bedirectly the reverse. In all tines it had been found that in proportion as cl rgy men had merged their sacred characters in the arena of poli tics, in the same proportion theyhad lost the rest:a of p o . tle. On that position, he should make a few short extracts from the speech of a distinguished nobleman and states man, Lord Say and Seale. The hon member procee to read an extract from tl e noble lord's speech, in which he ascribed much of the anarchy and blood sh, d that bad devastated the ear.h to the ilterference of churchmen in politics. The hon. member proceeded. He would ask them hid they not an example of that picture in the present times? Had they not seen Ireland made the theatre of contention and bloody strife, in order to continue an anti-national priesthood upon the country, and force upon them a creed which the people did not profess? Another part of the history of the country to which he would refer was the bill introduced in 1801, for disabling churchmen from sitting in that house of the legislature. It had been then sta'ed that the same reasons that existed from excluding the Bishops from the . tier house might be urged against their being allowed to sit in that house. The advocates of these senti ments were no less statesmen than Mr. Grey and Mr. Fox. He certainly thought that by the bill of 1801 some hardship was inflicted, btcause, as he would be ev.r ready to exclude those who were engaged in church af fairs from the duties of Parliament tip in the broad ground that they could not discharge the duties of loth, so should I e continue to think as he did Oh t it would be unjust toward, The house was then addressed by Lord Altborp, aho was ready to ent r into tl e question if the house wished. —(Question, Question.) And next by Sir W. Ingleby, Mr. Tennyson, Mr. H. Hughes, Mr. James, and Mr. Buckingham. The house was twice cleared for a divislon, but ncne took place. (LIFT SITTING.) IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS, Mead 12. DISFRANCHISEMENT OF THE BOROUGH OF HERTFORD. Mr. BERNAL'S speech, conclnded from our se and edition of last night. Ile thought the house was bound to make the Reform 13111 a wholesome and salutary measure, and therefore he trusted that no gentleman would get up and object to the second reading of this bill.—(Hear, hear.) The house had sufficiently committed itself by sending the bill up stairs, and all that remained to be done now was to adopt the remedy suggested. Lord G. SOMERSET could not agree with the bon. member that because the house agreed to an inquiry it was bound to agree also to the second reading of the bill. O❑ all former occasions, bribery of the most gross kind was the ground of a measure of disfranchisement. He also had the sanction of the present House of Commons for saying that, in a case of the most gross and glaring bribery, it was enough to satisfy the justice of the mat ter that ene individual only should be prosecuted. He alluded to the case of Newry.—(Hear, hear.) That was a case in which great corruption was proved ; and yet that was all that was ordered by a reformed House of Commons.--( Hear, hear.) He did not see why one measure of justice should be meted out to one borough and another to one that was proved not to be so corrupt. The disfranchisement of 300 indi viduals, whatever their station in life, was a matter of very considerable importance, and was worthy the attention of that house. There was a considetable difference be tween bribery and treating, and, in his opinion, there had been nothing proved against Hertford that at all amounted to legal bribery.—(Hear.) In the borough of Hertford the hon. member opposite hid in a very handsome m inner expressed his disbelief in the evidence adduced by a person named Russell Davis.—. ( Hear, beam) As far as he remembered the evidence that had been given before the committee upon the subject, he did not believe that any case of bribery had hien brought forward, with the exception of the case of Russell Davis, and the money that was given to him, was clearly proved to be given out of charity. He thought that when the house were about to disfranchise 200 or 300 poor men, and that, too, upon a point which the Legisla ture, by its statutes, and by the decision of its committees, had concurred in it, should pause before it inflicted such severe punisbment—(Hear)— and use every endeavour to purify the borough, instead of disfranchising it. He was not one of those who did not think that offences of the description to which the hon. member opposite had adverted, should not be properly punished, but he thought some other punishment than that of wholesale disqualification should be resorted to. Believing that the measure was fraught with gross injustice, he begged leave to move, as an amendment, that the bill be read a second time that day six months. Mr. HALCOM seconded the amendment. On the question being put, Sir ROBERT PEEL said he would vote for the se cond reading: It was in vain to talk of treating as a proof of bribery, for in that case, in his opinion, one-half of the boroughs and the counties of England would have to be disfranchised. He thought it a matter well worthy of consideration whether an attempt should not be made by that house to define by law what was meant by the word bribery.—(Hear, hear.) If bribery consisted in treating—in this five-shilling ticket system, then must he say that the borough of Tamworth, which he had the honour to represent, had been oft times guilty of bribery. For the last hundred years this system had prevailed—. the system of tickets for treating, he meant; for he sin cerely believed that not one shilling was ever spent with a view, or in the hope, of influencing a vote. Never, ac cording to his impression, had a ticket been given with any otter intention than as an admission to a supper, or some. little gaiety ; this was its bona fide character. Why, all the wealthy electors were in the habit of having dinners, one of which, perhaps, would not cast the candidate less than two or three hundred pounds; and yet no one found fault with them for being treated. There was no outcry about treating in their case. Then why should there be with the poor voters? They merely said thus—You will not admit us, poor men, t.► your sumptuous banquet, therefore, at least give us something of a less costly character at this gay period. Now, when excitement was abroad—wben party-spirit ran very high, as it usually did at election dines, he did not know but these tickets were frequently serviceable in pre serving the borough from open riot and in doing away with angry feelings, or at all events directing them in a milder current. Though he should vote for the second reading, he should not consent to the bill passing the house as it then stood. There were no grounds whatever for extending the limits of the borough ; for he found there were no less than 430 respectable ten-pound voter., and— Mr. H. BULWER was understood to deny their re spectability. Sir R. PEEL—WeII, if they are not so, the Reform Bill did it. Now, the report of the committee expressed an opinion that the general body of voters were not en gaged in these disgraceful transactions. If, then, he (Sir R. P.) found a class not tainted, be thought it rather hard they should visit them with the penalty, when they were exempt from blame. Now, Hertford had been ex tended by the Reform Bill ; and the presumption was that the present limits, as constituted by the bill, were the fairest that could be hit upon. The first Reform Bill, it was well known, disfranchised all freemen, with the ex ception of 101. householders; and the present Reform Bill calculated on tbeirextinction when the constituency of this borough would consist merely of the 10-pounders, within the present limits. lie objected, also, to a fourth member being given to the county. Why should they add ten agricultural parishes to this town ? He had heard it said that the agricultural interest was already too strong in that house, and were they to increase it? Why it would be better to disfranchise the entire body of voters at once, than turn the town into a small county—than thus com pliment Ware (which has furnished the bludgeon men), by the gift of the franchise. By the proposed arrange ment, be saw the seeds of eternal discontent and party spirit; and he therefore could not, for one, pass suck a censure on the Reform Bill, as agree to the bill as it then stood, though, as he said before, he considered it his duty to vote for the second reading. Mr. H. 11ULWER sad, there was a great number of voters in llertford who could be ejected at a ten days' not ice by the Marquis of Salisbury and other-, and tl ese he could not characterise as respectable. Mr. IIALCOMB said that, previous to the passing of the Reform Bill, there could not be found an instance of a borough being disfranchised, or its suffrage exteneed, without full proof of a majority of the voters being corrupt. This was not the case at Hertford. nit. CLAY slid the committee were prepared to dies AIRS. GRIMSTONE'S NEW NOVEL, Just ready in 2 vols., post Bvo. L 0 A Tale of Married Life.
