PI FRANCE. Tlg w NEW CILAMBER' OF DEPUTIES OF MCOMPARISON rit THAT OF JULY, 1330, WITH THAT ARCH, MI-S TITASTICS hif OF THE NEW CHAMBER --.MINIS TERS IN A I.NORITY--.PASS THE REFORM BILL. To the EDITOR of the MORNING CHRONICLE. Paris, July 19, 1831. SlR,—Let me invite your attention to the com position of the new Chamber of Deputies. It is an event of great importance in the history of France, and it merits our best consideration. When I com menced my correspondence with the Morning Chro nicle we had a Chamber com p osed of Extreme Droit, 96 Deputies. 2. Deputies who, in conse quence of the employments they held under Govern ment would be inclined to vote with the Extreme Droit to the number of 18. 3. Centre Droit Mi nisterial (Polignac) 41. 4. Centre Droit, who, in consequence of their titles of Nobility, ancient mili. tary recompenses , Cross of Saint Louis, &c., had a natural tendency towards the Extreme Droit, 40; and Centre Droit, independent and patriotic, 50. Thus, the right side of the Chamber h ad nominally 225 Members out of 430; but as 30 were inde pendent and patriotic, it had only 195. You will remember that 130 out of these 195 were elected by the Grand Colleges—i. e., by those electors who paid the largest amount of taxes—who were Royalists—and thus had the double vote. These Grand Colleges now no longer exist ; and you will therefore see, by and bye, what has become of these 130 Royalist Deputies. I told you they were Anti-National when I began my correspondence; and you will now see that I was not mistaken. But now let us look to the Gauche side of the old Cham ber, arid see how it was constituted when Prince Polignac undertook to govern France ! The Ex treme Gauche consisted of 94 Deputies. The great body of the Gauche of 54. These latter were com posed of such men as Delessert, Dupin, Baron Louis, Augustin Perier, and Royer Collard ! Then came the Centre Gauche, liberal but only moderately so, the men who love legitimacy but with the Charter, and who loved the Charter but with legitimacy. These later amounted to 52 in number, and though divided among themselves upon many points, yet they were such men as Gilman, Hanle, Cambon, Humann, and Oberkampf. Thus we had a Cham ber of Deputies of 425, as there were five vacancies, and Ministers counted about 190, and the Opposi tion 235. When it came to the vote, you remember that the Minister had 181, and the Opposition 221. Thus Polignac and legitimacy were overthrown, and then came the Ordinances and the Revolution. Well, now we have a new Chamber !! How is it composed ? The people have still but a small voice in the choice, for even still all the Aristocracy of the nation can vote, and not more than a one hun dredth portion of the Democracy. Therefore, still the representation is anything but national, and yet it is a vait deal improved. Let me begin, then, by stating, that out of the 430 Deputies who composed the last Chamber, only 206 are re-elected, 224 being rejected as Anti-National ! Here is a falling off of one half; and yet no man can vote for a Dc puty who does not pay 200 franca per annum of di rect taxes: If the millions had the right of voting, we should reduce the 206 remaining to at least 160! Now, then, let us see to what class the Members re jected belonged ; and let us examine whether the new electors of France have turned off the Extreme Right or Extreme Left, or the Centre Droit or Centre Gauche, and we shall then be able to form a good judgment not only of the composition of the new Chamber but also of public opinion. Let us commence with the Extreme Droit. It was composed of ninety-six Members. Its prin ciples et et e Divine right—legitimacy—passive obe dience, and non-resistance. When Polignac was named Minister, all these men rushed to the Tuile ries—prostrated themselves before Charles X.— thanked him for the tender love he felt for his sub jects—and shouted vet again and again " Vice le Roi ! Vive le Roi f" I told you at that time that the race of these fellows would be short though jovial, and that they would be compelled to return to their old chateaus and live in obscurity. Let us now see whether my predictions were correct. — Undoubtedly they were; for after a.pstient exami nation of the new with the old lists, I find that only two Members out of the ninety-sic have been re turned to the new Chamber. The other ninety-four are all conspirators at borne, or emigrants—and live upon hope and dry bread; for they will not spend one farthi, , g for luxuries., iir order to injure trade, and bring ruin on those who made the Revolution ! 2, What has become of the 18 Deputies of the Centre Droit, who, in consequence of the employ ments they held under the then Government, were always ready to vote with it ? Why one!! has been again returned. Only one, and he is named General Tirlet. 3. What has become of the Centre Droit (Minis terial Polignac), such as Cambon, Crussol, &c. ? Why in the Chamber of 1830 they were to the number of 41, but now not one of them has been elected— no, not one. 4. What has become of those forty Members of the Centre Droit who, in consequence of " les titres de Noblesse, d'anciens services militaires recom penses par la Croix de St. Louis, &c., peuvent faire presumer MI penchant yens la Droite?"They were forty in the Chamber of 1830, and now only one is elected, and that is M. Lesergeant de Bayenghen, of the Pas de Calais. And 5. What has become of the thirty Patriotic and Independent Deputies of the Centre Droit, many of whom dared to vote in favour of the " In solent Address" which the 221 presented to Charles X.? Why out of the 30, only three are re-elected ? And why is this? Not because their services are forgotten, or because France ceases to recognize them as good citizens; but because they are no longer the men necessary to the march which France desires to make, and because, though they were ad mirable and useful in opposing the system of Polignac, they would now be quite useless after the revoltes tion of July. I cannot, however, help regretting that such men as Hyde de Neuville, Martignac, St. Cricq, and Bourdeau, do not belong to the new Chamber. So then out of 225 Deputies which constituted the ri7ht, or Ministerial side, when twelve months ago Char:es X. convoked a new Parliament, we have now only seven who form part of the Cham ber of 1831 1 It must not, however, be forgotten, that a vast many of these were got rid of some months since, in consequence of their refusal to swear allegiance to Louis Philip, and the new Char ter; and that 130 new Deputies, or at least new elections, then took place. Of these we will speak hereafter. Now, then, let us turn to the opposition aide of the House, and see if the new electors have re, jected those who formed the Extreme and Centre Gauche of the old Chamber of Charles X. in July, JB3O. 1. The Extreme Gauche consisted of 94 Depu ties. They were a compact—formidable and pa triotic body. Eight of them are dead. Therefore 8 . 6 only remain. Six of them by bankruptcy and I nsolvency have been forced to retire, leaving 80— and out of zhe remaining 80 how many do you think have been now elected ? Why seventy one! ! ! Now f ask you, can anything in the world be more convincing than this? And will any one after this dare to say that France is not liberal—and that France desires the Bourtions, legitimacy, cob webs and prtesteraft. Mink ye out of 96 Extreme Droit Deputies only two have been re-eiect.ed— but out of SO Extreme Gauche, the large number o f 71 have been returned to the new Chamber. There is no getting over such a fact as this. But 2. What has become of the great body of the Gauche of This is a very important point, and I hare taken very eepectal pains to be accurate. The Gauche at that time was composed of men who did not go all the lengths of the La. fayettes arid Corcelles of the day, but who were dis posedir o to further than the Centre Gauche, w ioved the Charter, but with legitimacy appendetd 33 ;t. Well, then, of these 54 Gauche Deputies, bave again been returned ; and as five are dead an( bankrupt of the 54, we may say that 33 have been elected out of 49. This is a vast majority, but it is n)t equal to the majority of 71 out of 80. You see, then, in proportion as the Deputies are les , liberal, or rather, as thuy recede from the Extreme Gauche, they have the best chance of succe•s. And 3. What has become of the Centre Gauche of 52 who loved legitimacy, but with the Charter; and who loved the Charter, but with legitimacy ? This also is a most impo . rtant point in our inquiry, and the answer is equally satisfactory. Out of the 52, only 20 have been re-elected, and those 20 were the most liberal out of the Centre Gauche. Can anything be more conclusive than this ? Can anything prove more satisfactory, that even the elec• tors of France, who have amongst them all the aristocracy of the country, and not a one-hundredth part of the democracy, yet that the electors of France have returned 71 out of 80 of the Extreme Gauche-33 ont of 54. of the Gauche—and 20 our of 52 of the Centre Gauche of the Chamber of Charles X. _ _ . I have thus shown you by farts—by facts which have cost me hours of labour and research to collect for you—that of the 425 Members who composed the Chamber of Charles the Tenth, in 1830—and which he dared to meet, and, therefore, dissolved because it was too liberal, only seven belonging to the Royalist party are now Members of the new Chamber, whilst out of the liberal party we have 71 to 33, and 20, making 124—and which, added to the seven, make 131 of those who were convoked for August, 1830, but dismissed by the Royal Or dinances of Charles X., in the month of July last. Let us now look to the composition of the New Chamber, with reference to the Chamber of March last, after the elections had taken place to fill up the 130 vacancies—and before the Law of Elections had been presented to the Chamber. In consequence of the refusal by four-fifths of the Extreme aoite to swear allegiance to Louis Philip, and fidelity to the new charts, between seventy and eighty elections of new Members took place. Most of those were made in the sense of the Gauche and Centre Gauche, and a very few of the Centre Droit. A large portion of these elections have been again confirmed ; and thus, although only 131 of the Deputies, now, elected, belonged to the Chamber of Charles X. in July 1830, yet 206 of them belonged to M. Perier's Chamber when he brought forvvaril the Electoral Law. In this number of two hundred and six there very probably, a Ministerial majority—but then there are ten Deputies returned who belonged, some years since, but not recently, to the Chamber of De puties, who are all Anti-Ministerial; 35 D puties to be yet returned, in consequence of the double no mination of men of the Extreme Gauche, and four fifths of whom, when elected, will be Anti-Mini•- terial ; and, finally 197 new Members, who never before belonged to the Chamber of Deputies ! I told you there would be at least 150, aad behold 197. We shall have some more new ones yet, in order to fill up the places of those who have been doubly, trebly, and quadruply returned. The amount of 206 Members of the old Chamber of March, 1831, and 10 ancient Deputies, and 35 to be yet returned, and 197 new Members, make a total of 448 Mem hers, which, with one dead, and one irregular election at Marseilles, present the full complement of 450. You will perceive then in the clearest mariner that the fate of France—of the Revolution—and of liberty in Europe—depends on the rotes and con duct of the new Ministers ! If a majority of them shall be for the Ministerial system, we shall have peace at all hazards ; but if the contrary, we shall have peace, but with liberty, and the Revolution will march towards a wise and national termination. It is necessary, however, to observe, that in former times, viz., in July last, before the Revolution, some of the Ministers of to-day then belonged to the Ex treme Gauche party, and acted with it. Thus C.:- simir Perier arid Sebastiani belonged to the ninety four Deputies forming the Extreme Gauche, as well as their present friends and supporters, Bignon, Bertin de V.ux, Alexandre Pe-ier, and Schonen. Whilst the opponents of the present Ministry— Bavoux, Demarcay, De Tracy, Dupont, Lafayette, Mauguin, Lamaique, &c., wrre then all a.sociated with the former in supporting one honest frank sys tem of national opposition. M. Royer Coil who now is Ministerial, if anything—then belonged to the Centre Gauche—and Baron Louis, who is now associated with De Rigny, D'Argour, and Soult in the Ministry, then would 'nave thought it a sin to avow himself a partisan of the Extreme Gauche. M. Barthe was not then a member—but he belonged to the latter party. It is then evident, to a mere cursory observer, that those who are now, like Soult, Baron Louis, De Rigny, and D'Argout, Min stern of War, Finance, Marine, and Public Works, are con sistent to the principles they professed in July, 1830, before the Revolution—but M. Perier, M. Sebas- tiani, and M. Barthe, have forsaken their party as well as NI. Nlontalivet, who fought in the events of Paris against the soldiers of Charles the Tenth. The opposition to the Nlinit.try is consistent with itself, but the Casimir Perier portion of the Ministry is in consistent. I cannot with propriety dose this examination of facts and history without adverting to the elements of the new Chamber. And, first, let me observe, that of one-half we know nothing except by compa rison and r,flection ; because they are wholly new men, and returned by new electors, or by a majority of new ones. Still, second, it is quite clear that , hey do not belong to the Extreme Droit, or to even the Centre Droit ; because only seven out of the 22.5 old ones have been re-elected, and because the new Members are almost all pledged to vote against an Hereditary Peerage. Well, then, it is important, third, to know whether the new Mem bers will join the old Extreme Gauche Mt mbers, who stil form a large portion of the Opposition, or whether they will unite themselves to the Perier portion of the old Chamber, and vote for the Minis terial system. Without, then, fourthly, pronouncing any dtcided opinion upon all the subjects of import ance which may be brought under discussion, I may, observe a:4; much, that it is quite clear the Here ditary Peerage .i.y:ttern will be overthrown—and it is next to certain that ii,,e Mitlister will be compelled to interfere on behalf of Poland!, VI all large and populous places, where the electors rag numerous, and where the people—the middling classes of in telligent citizens have voted, the Deputies returned have been anti-Ministerialist ; but in small arron, dissements, of which there are so many in Franco, where the Extreme Droit and Centre Droit once had power, but which are now under the influence of the Extreme Gauche, proprietors and rentiers, there the elections have been very oft; n Take, however, the gross number of electors who have voted in France, and divide those who have voted for Ministerial from those who have elected Opposition candidates, and most unquestionably theta are two to one aga;nst the Ministers on the calculation. That then a Deputy, when once elected, is as much a Deputy if named by a fey hundred a; by a vast many thousand elei*ore o And in the Cum ber has the same right to ‘ote and to bpeak. On the whole, then, I conclude—ist, 'that the Minister is in a minority in France ; 2d, In a minority in the Electoral Colleges, if the gross num ber of electors be counted; and 3d, in a minority in the actu Chamber of Deputies; if not upon the whole of his foreign and domestic policy, at least with respect to the Hereditary Peerage, and peace at all hazards. Ido not think I can add another word upon this subject ; and I shall therefore leave it to your consideration and examination, especially as the Chambers will meet next Saturday ; and the questions of peace or war—liberty or the resto ration, will soon, very soon be brought before them. We are w,a•Fhing with great interest and lively anxiety the proceedings of the House of Commons with reference to the Deform Bill. We rejoice at the perseverance of the Ministers, and smile at the factious obstinacy of their opponents. But as they seem disposed to delay, perhaps they may be sadly disappointed by a batch of " Coronation Peers" just in time to secure a majority of the House of Lords, or by a motion to piss the Biil thrc ugh the Committee without further discussion, since an op. position which is factious should be met by decided measures ; and as there is a large majority for " th e Bill, and for the whole Bill," surely one more divi sion in the Clmmittee will be quite sufficient; and then let the Bill be reported with all its little imper fections, and then be read a third time and carried to the Lords. Should the Minister allow himself to be defeated by chicanery, he would deserve not the anger but the contempt of Europe. Delay is dan gerous, and further di , cussion unnece,sary. So let the Bill pass, and let it be put to the English Aris tocracy if it will dare to risk a revolution by a re fusal. I see letters now and then from all parts of your country, and all unite in stating that the re jection of the Reform Bill would and must he fol lowed by revolution. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, O. P. Q. FROM THE GAZETTE OF LAST NIGHT. St. James's Palace, July 20, 1111.

(From the London New Price Current of yesterday.) SUGAR.—There has been a steady, but not brisk demand fur Sugar ; the estimated sales for the week arc 3,300 hhds. and tre. ; the prices are without alteration. In the refined trade there is much firmness, the holders do not press sales; the prices of the lower qualities have rather improved. This afternoon there con tinues to be business doing in large and small Lumps for shipping, and the stock on hand at present is small, particularly of the fernier, scarcely any parcels of which can now be bought under the advanced quotations—viz., 625. 6d.; for the fine descriptions entitled to the'dquble-refined bounty, there was also more inquiry at the :close of last week, and tome considerable business was done at Ws. fist. tq 33:5. crashed ; the refiners, however, now demand hd. to Is. advance upon those prices. In the middling descriptions of Lumps and Loaves the gip,..:ers have been doing more business, and prices are a shade higher this week, but the tmegrocery torte still continue neglected. FOItk;IGN SVGA 11 S,—There was offered yesterday by public sale 161 chests of Verniuns and Rio Sugar, but the whole was taken in at prices a shade higher than the market rates ; about 400 chests are reported sold by private contract, low to good white 21s. to 265. ; some yellow Ilavannah sold at 245. This day 100 chests Pernams at public sale, all the sound was taken in. EAST INDIA SUGARS.—The Mauritius Sugars this week have been sold at steady prices, Bengal of the late East India sale, at Is. advance. '1 his day at public sales, 5,950 bags Mauri tius Sugars sold at full market prices. COFFEE.—The British Plantation descriptions being so much wanted for the home consumption of the country are again 4s. and ss. per cwt. higher, broken Jamaica being now sold at 565., good ordinary r,Os. and tits , fine ordinary 665. and 675., middling 765. ; the fine is held for a similar advance, but for the latter no prices above 80s. a 84s. have as yet been reported. In Foreign C p n r il i V e a e t private c s o c n a t r r e a e c t m m e u f c a h i r inquired guaquality y and East India there is little alteration, but all Coffees are held s for higher prices. It ought tq be particularly remarked that the and so at 431., and fine ordinary at 445. ; about 800 bags of St. Domingo pale id at 425. Gd. By public sale this day, 511 bags good ordi narymßruisttisbhelc'llaenatna,tionny B aft raz er a sold pale Brazil sold 40s. a 41s.

HEMP, FLAX, AND TALLOW.—The Tallow Market is drooping, and the holders have evinced an increasing disposition to sell. Hemp and Flax are still at nominal quotations.

In the absence of the Lord Chancellor, Earl SEA rtes • nuftY took his seat on the Woolsack a few minutes after Five o'clock. The Alanchester and Sheffield Railway Bill was read a second time. On the ntotion of the Duke of RICHMOND, the Master of the Mint's Salary Reduction Bill was read a second time. The Bishop of FERNS presented a petition from the county of Carlow in Ireland, signed by 1500 Protestants, complaining that they were shut out from religious in struction, by bring so far from a Protestant place of wor ship. After the petition had been read, the Rev. Prelate brought in a Bill to amend the Act of the 43d of the late King, and to effect the object sought by the petitioners, which was read a first time. The House then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, 'LY 22. Viscount MANDEVILLE brought up the Report of the Committee appointed to try the merits of the petition of Sir W. F. E:liott, Bart., against the return of Henry Francis Scott, Esq., for the county of Roxburgh, declaring that Mr. Scott was duly elected, and that the petition was not frivolous or vexatious. An Mx. MEMBER (whose name we could not learn,) presented a petition from the Norfolk Agricultural Asso ciation, against the nse of molasses in breweries. Mr. HUNT presented a petition from the electors of Preston, praying that their rights may be protected in the Reform Bill; also for the vote by ballot, without reference to property or qualification. The Hon. Member then moved for a return of the average price of corn per quarter in England and Wal. s for the year ending December last. Sir R. MUSGRAVE presented a petition from the Roman Catholic inhabitants of a town i❑ the county of Waterford, against the Vestry Act ; and also a petition from the town of Lismore, for the abolition of slavery. S:r H. PARNELL presented a petition from the Parish Priests of Maryborough, against the grant to the Kildare street Society. THE REV. ROBERT TAYLOR. Sir F. BURDETT presented a petition from this indi vidual, under sentence of imprisonment in Horsemonger- lane gaol, complaining of the manner is which he was treated. The Hon. Baronet observed, that some of the grievances of which the petitioner complained having been remedied already, he need now do nothing more than move that the petition be brought up. Mr. DENISON was obliged to the Hon. Baronet for presenting this petition, as it afforded the Magistrates for the county of Surrey, of whom he (Mr. Denison) was one, an opportunity to vindicate themselves from the charges of cruelty which had been made against them by the public papers. Mr. Taylor had been convicted by a Jury of the most shameful and scandalous offence of burlesquing a most sacred portion of our Christian rites--the Holy Sa crament. When be was sentenced he made three requests : —I at, that he might be excused attending Divine Worship in gaol ; 2d, to be allowed an unlimited correspondence ; and 3d, that he might be allowed better diet. A meet ing of the Magistrates was held, at which it was agreed that the first and last requests should he allowed. He was put into an airy room at the top of the prison, eighteen feet by twenty-four, in which the windows were east and west, and every indulgence as respected accom modation and diet, but no wine or spirits, the admission of which was contrary to the Act of Parliament, unless when ordered by the doctor in case of illness. With re gatd to seeing his friends, he was allowed that privilege at a distance of three feet from them, four hours a day, whereas the other prisoner.) were only allowed to see their friends at a distance of six feet, and only for two hours a day. He was told he might hive any books or newspapers he wished, but that it was impossible to allow him to keep up an unlimited correspondence with his friends, because that privilege would be used in disseminating those doctrines for which he had been convicted. He (Mr. Denison) hoped that he had now exculpated the Magistrates from the charges of cruelty ; with reference to prosecutions of this nature, he very much doubted whether they should be adopted, because the prosecutions for religious opinions would have the effect of spreading those opinions, and giving the parties a degree of notoriety. Mr. BRISCOE concurred in what had fallen from his Hon. Friend who had last spoken, and said that no blame whatever was attributable to the Magistrates. Considering however, that it was a punishment only for a misde meanour, he thought the restriction to Mr. Taylor's seeing his friends an unnecessary degree of hars!inas., though it was one of the laws of the prison. He had lwa)s thought that the rules of Horsemoneer-lane were severe, and had endeavoured to obtain a mitigation of them. To a gentleman of Mr. Taylor's rank in life, having been edu cated at Cambridge, he thought these rules were very harsh. He was bound in justice to Mr. Taylor to state that the report of his having called out" gammon" in the chapel, with a view to create laughter amongst the other prisoners, was wholly unfounded. He was instructed also by the gaoler to say that Mr. Taylor's conduct, when in chapel, was exceedingly proper. Oa his first imprisonment, Mr. Taylor had written over the door of his cell a sentence expressing his disbelief in Christianity, but when he saw that he (Mr. Briscoe) disapproved of it, the words of which were these, " The evidences of the Christian religion are the greatest curses that ever fell on this country," he immediately ordered then to be erast d Mr. TREVOR said every indulgence had been allowed Mr. Taylor consistent with law. But if lie had been allowed an unlimited correspondence, it would have been used in disseminating those doctrines for which he was now imprisoned. It was a matter of the highest im portance that the laws of this country should be properly enforced, particularly in cases of this description : for, if such blasphemy as that for which Mr. Taylor was im prisoned were allowed to go unpunished, every libel spoken or issuing from a licentious Press would even tually pass without notice. Mr. HUNT felt pleasure at the manner in which this petition was brought forward. Formerly the complaints of prisoners were very differently received by the House. He had had occasion at one time to complain of a gaoler, and all his charges against that officer were contradicted, point blank, by Hon. Members. He, however, even tually succeeded in establishing the charges, and the gaoler was removed. Magistrates ought to be very careful how they went beyond the law. In his opinion there was no law to justify the prohibiting of a person convicted only of misdemeanour from corresponding with his friends. It was a prohibition solely at the discretion of the Magistrates. Within a mile of Taylor, Carlile was imprisoned for ad vocating the same doctrines, and he was allowed to cor respond freely with any of his friends. It was, there fore, no a onder that Mr. Taylor should consider this prohibition as peculiar and unnecessary, and be put it to the House whether such a mode of punishment, and, in deed, the prosecution altogether, would not make Taylor a sort of martyr to the cause. He knew nothing of Taylor, and never had seen him but once, and then at a public meeting; but he thought that every indulgence which was given to Carlile should also be given to him. With regard to the policy of these prosecutions, he could state that the " Poor Man's Guardian," which was brought under the consideration of the House on a former night by the Hon. Member for Dundalk, and which then circu lated about 3,000, in three weeks afterwards rose to 11 000 a week. The editor and proprietor of that paper might, therefore, thank the Hon. Member for quadrupling its Captain GORDON said there was an indulgent feeling exhibited in this House towards Mr. Taylor which wt.s not felt towards any other prisoner, and he could not see why that feeling should be permitted. He could only attribute it to the power that individual possessed of wielding the public press—that rod of public opinion. He conceived it an injustice to the other prisoners to allow Mr. Taylor so much indulgence, as the mere fact of his having been educated at Cambridge was by no means a reason for any indulgence. With respect to the observation of the lion. Member for Preston, that his calling the attention of the House to that seditious pamphlet, the " Poor Man's Guardian,' had increased the circulation, he denied the assertion. After a few words from Mr. LAMS, Mr. O'CoNNELL, and Sir F. BURDETT, the petition was ordered to lie on the table. Mr. J. A. SMITH presented a petition from the West of Sussex against certain provisions of the Beer Bill. Mr. A. SANDFORD presented petitions from various places in Somerset hire in favour of the Reform Bill, for the abolition of slavery, for an amendment of the crimi nal code, and for a revision of the Beer Bill. Lord MILTON presented a petition from the Protestant freemen of Galway, for an extension of the franchise to the Catholics. Also from the county of Gloucester, praying for a gradual and total repeal of the Corn Laws, by taking off one sixth of tke duty annually. Mr. HUNT supported the petition, and intended bring ing on his motion shout the Corn Laws this Session, as it was not probable he would have a seat in the new Par liament. Mr. RAM SDEN had information from Huddersfield that the petition presented by the lion. Member for Preston on Monday last, from that town, was not known there, and that many of the signatures were forged. Mr. HUNT said the petition was agreed to at a public meeting, numerously signed, and sent to him by as tic 71. O. to 71. 0/. Os. 10/. Os. to 141 Os. of. O. 41. Os to 9!. Os. 3!. Os.

Mr. POYNTZ presented a petition from Kingston, pray;ng that it might be united to Ashburton.—The peti tion was ordered to be referred to the Committee. REFORM BILL. On the motion of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, the House re solved itself into a Committee on the English Reform Bill, Mr. Bernal in the Chair. The CHAIRMAN then stated that the question was that the borough of Hedon stand part of schedule A. Mr. FARRAND denied that the borough of ,Hedon was a nominate borough ; but he did not in conga quence of what had taken place intend to oppose its being placed in schedule A. He, however, thought that it might have been judiciously annexed with Holderness, no which it was contiguous, and which contained upwards t 1 27,000 inhabitants. He believed the subject was entitlod to the consideration of Government, and stated his intimtion of bringing forward the subject of this borough at a future period. Mr. STRICKLAND had the honour of being oonnected with the East Riding of Yorkshire. He intended at some future period to move that the West Riding should return four representatives. Yorkshire, which was six times the extent of Durham, was only to have two additional Members, while that place was to have four. He trusted the attention of Ministers would be given to this subject. He was a great supporter of the present Reform Bill, but he could not help expressing himself as he had done. Mr. RAMSDEN differed from his Worthy Colleague in many points. He most heartily wished that Hedon should remain in schedule A, for he believed a more corrupt borough never existed.—( Hear.) Mr. SADLER thought the Hon. Member opposite quite right in saying th►t neither justice nor population had been regarded with respect to that great and opulent past of the country. Four Members, according to the proposition. would only be given to a population of 207,000 inhabi tants ; other places might be instanced similarly circum-. stanced ; for one he would name Lancaster, and such discre pancies surely never could be allowed to exist. According to the present system there was not a part of England that would not exhibit the utmost degree of inaccuracy, the ut most degree of partiality ; and it was a plan which could not gain the approbation of any man who possessed the slightest love for justice and equity. Mr. KENYON said that if any additional Member was given to any county in England, he should un- 1 doubtedly move that an additional Member be given to every part of Wales, which sent only one Member to Par liament. Sir CHARLES WETHERELL thought that surely the House would not agree to put into schedule A a borough, and at the same time draw a pen through that borough at once, without hearing what such a borough had to say in its own defence. He wished to know from the Noble Lord opposite (Lord Althorp), who appeared to be giving this important measure its utmost attention in its various stages, (and which he was sorry he cold not say as much of respecting all the other Minis ters, fir some of them undoubtedly seemed to pay but very little attention to the measure indeed), why a small borough in a district was not to stand in the same condition as that of a small borough in a parish ? He should like to know also, why Malton, Caine, Tavistork, and such places were to be allowed to keep their places as regarded sending Members to Parliament. Though he (Sir C.) was only a York.hireman in the superinduced sense of a Mem er of Parliament, he could not help con demning this Cromwellian system as regarded the Ea , t Riding of Yorkshire. Why was there not to be a Bo roughbridge and yet to be a Malton. The public, the House might depend upon it, would require, and must hare a great deal snore of explauation respecting this partial plan of proceeding with respect to certain be roughs, than had yet been given ; and Hon. Members ought to know that many of the people were investigating this measure with a much greater degree of minuteness than was the House of Commons itself--a measure which was Cromwellian in its origin—Cromwellian in its cha racter. Lord ALTHORP, in a loud tone of voice, said if boroughs in districts were to stand in the same situation as those in parishes, the effect would be that there would hardly be any county Members at all—the whole country would be cut up into boroughs. He would not go. into the question at present, why Mahon, Calne, Tavisto , and so on, were not in schedule A? The proper period to discusssuli,:untd think why fit a motion,h ey silfitoo a should i l ue noti Hoe. e ,daintsfraatocthhi Learnedsey should ed mbe w b would be put into that sch e d u l e . Sh ou ld suc h a mot i on b e made, he had no doubt th a t h e an d hi s co ll eague shoul d b e able to state ample reasons why they should not go into schedule A. Again, with respect to adding Members to Yorkshire, the proper period to bring that forward woulti be when the clause came before the Committee, proposing to give additional Members to counties. Mr. PRAED entirely differed from his l'ilaj.sty's Ministers on their notion of taking population and property as the basis of representation. Afinist rs had not, however, in this respect, even allowing their principle to be true, acted fairly ; they had given po pulation and property combini , d, and that only, when po pulation and property were in large masses, the effect of which was, as he conceived, most unfair, partial, and unjust. Sir C. FORBES thought that a very strung case for the consideration of his Majesty's Ministers had been made out, to declare for an increase of the county Members of . Yorkshire ; as to Hedon, it did not, as it appeared to him, come within the line which bad been laid down by his Majesty's Ministers. And the insinuations thrown out as to bribery and jobbing prevailing in that boroughs were altogether unsupport e d by fact—it was easy to assert but not so easy to prove that these abuses really existed. (Hear, bear.) The borough in question was in the same condition as Beverley, and he could assure his Majesty's Government, that no Member was ever returned to that House upon more independent principles than he wait when be represented the borough of Beverley in Parlia ment. He had received a very handsome offer, made on the part of the electors of that independent boroughs to stand forward as their representative, but Le had de clined. The interest of the two boroughs he considered to be the same, and as far as lay in his power he would en deavour to support their interests. Mr. RAMSDEN had had a great deal of communica tion with a gent'ernan of Hedon, and from documents which he possessed, he could prove that the Members for that borough hail ins'ructions to vote for or against the measure of Reform according to the determination of Ministers to retain in, or exclude from, schedule A. the borough of Hedon. Mr. FARRAND thought that the Hon. Member for Yorkshire had not proved the venality of the borough, and he (Mr. Farrand) had still to learn the name of his patron. The question was then put, whether Hedon should stand part of schedule A, for which the ayes being pre valent, it was declared to stand part of the schedule. The question was then put whether Heytesbnry and Highani Ferrers should stand part of schedule A, for which the ayes being predominant, it was carried in the affirma tive. The next motion was, " That the borough of Ilindort stand part of schedule A." Mr. J. WEYLAND said it would be only w a sti n g the time of the House if he were to contend that the 150 ho nest electors of Hindon should, under any modified systetu of Reform, send two Members to Parliament.—(lfearr hear.) For his own part he cared not for his scat; he only hoped that the ten.pound householders, into which these voters would be as it were transmigrated, would send a Member better qualified to serve the country in rar liament than he was. He would say one word on the principle of disfranchisement. He thought where it was done without necessity, it was great injustice—(lW. hear)—and when the Committee came to the enfranchis ing clauses, he should be able to show that the best course to take would be to consolidate some of these boroughs into a kind of scot and lot boroughs, by which all nu• proper patronage would be most effectually done awal with. Though he was now silent on the subjects he should be able to slow, when the proper time carrot, that th e f ranc hi se o f tl ese honest electors of Hindon ought not to be taken wholly Irma them ; slid he trusted that he should not be twitted or in.ulted with any charge of wishing to delay the Bill by making such a motion. What was the Committee for, if they did not make amendments in the B II ? It had need of amend' inents. There was, however, a large body in and a large body out of the House cheering on Ministers to pass the Bill " with all its inipetlections on its head ;" or, to toe the metaphor of an lion. and Gallant Mi tither on a former evening, who applied the feminine gender to his borough he would say of this Bill —that if she was covered wtth ulcers, from the Crown of the head to the tip of the chi ll ; these parties would consider her a Venus (Hear, He was a Reformer, and was willing to in,ke a sacrifice at the altar of his country, but he wished that the ine 4 ; sure should be a real measure of Reform, and that I should not be represented over the left shoulder to the people as one thi ng, and over the right describe d to the Aristocracy as another—as quite an aristocratic ineasures But the honest p eo pl e of England would not be duped . 4 , 4 dul e A 6 r Al t.
