He contended that there was nothing before Mr. TENNYSON strongly objected to the planof add• the house of formal proof of habitual corruption. There ing large districts to a borough, out of which there might was another strong point to be urged, and it was, that, be made an independent constituency. He thought this, even though the proposed remedy were a good one, it was notwithstanding that the hon. member for Rochester held now unnecessary, as the evil was already cured. It seemed at different opinion. He had no personal object to attain, as if this bill aimed at the franchise of the freemen gene- He should be ashamed of himself if such could by an possi. rally, under cover of this peculiar case; and it should be taility influence his decision. If out of the hou se hold e rs remembered in this discussion, that, in the election of of Hertford, 520 householders could be found, he felt him- 1830, there were peculiar circumstances of mitigation self justified in the view which he had taken. The coin- applying to the poor electors. mittee said there were 414 exclusive of the freemen— Mr. WOOD should support the bill. (Hear, hear)—therefore every object could be attained Mr. BAINES also urged the grossness and extent of the without recurring to the last and extremest of measur s,— corruption, and said that an election at Liverpool was not (Hear, hear.) Many constituencies were less than 300. considered as an occasion for the exercise of the franchise, Tavistock a n d Richmond did not even approach to that but rather as a carnival for the most shameless and licen number. Why, then, should the committee suppose that tious bribery. the constituency of Hertford could not furnish an adequate Dr. NICHOLL said, an amendment would be proposed portion of voters? He should further rest his objection for the purpose of making a distinction between the inno- on another and an important point for the consideration of the committee. The addition of a large agricultural constituency would defeat the spirit of the Reform Bill.— (Hear, hear.) He should therefore oppose it, if for no other reason than because it would tend to destroy a prin ciple to which the House of Commons had with every solemnity pledged itself.--(Hear.) Mr. ROBERT STEWARI' said the first clause of the bill was just, but the second ought to be expunged. Mr. BERNAL reiterated his former opinions. The addition proposed to be added was only at much as was essential to purify the great and glaring corruption which it was admitted bad existed in the borough. Eleven hundred were not too many for a new county member. Me. WARD observed that ample informa+ion was before the committee that the present constituency of Hertford was corrupt, and required purification. Sir HENRY HARDINGE said, if the borough were extended it would strike at the entire system raised by the Reform Bill, for unless the practice were Rude general the spirit of that measure would be violated. Five hundred 'householders remain ; ought their interests to be °Teri°. ked ? Tavistock and Richmond had not each more than 247 hruseholders, still they would have members; white Hertford would be made to form, in returning a repre sentative, no more thin one-twelfth of the entire county. Was that the way, be would ask, they should place the princip.l town of the shire in ? Blackburn had only 626 householders, still they had two members, by the report cent and the guilty, and if the House would not receive it, they should divide on the bill. The amendment was then put, and negatived without a division. On the question that the bill be now read a third time, Mr. BETHELL (we believe) moved, as an amendment, that the words from " or hereafter" be omitted. Mr. JAMES seconded the amendment. On the question being put, to leave out the words from " or hereafter," Dr. NICHOLL supported the amendment. It would be unfair to deprive the children of their franchise, be cause of an alleged abuse by their parents. Mr. BAINES replied; the childr , n who were dispos sessed by the disfranchisement of Grampound, might, on the same principle, assert a similar right. Sir R. PEEL would not object to any punishment with which proved bribery might be visited; but to make the example valuable and effective, the house should take care that it was governed by justice.—(Hear.) Ile did not yet despair that justice would be dune ; but if the bill contained a measure of gross and flagrant injustice, he wou'd oppose it to the last, rather than suffer its enact ment to stand an indelible disgrace to that house. Let the facts of the case be stated. There were rich and poor voters in Liverpool. Wren the election came on, temp tations were held out to the poor men possessed of the franchise, which they found it difficult, if not impossible, to resist. The poor men were early caught by these of the Commissioners; yet Hertford would have a larger constituency, and they would all but disfranchise it. The influence of property was spoken of in the latter town. Ought they to forget that in Huddersfield all the houses but one belonged to a single individual ? yet Huddersfield _ _ tempt,tions, and bartered their votes for sums of 51. The rich voters, who were not pressed by their necessities, and better acquainted with the artifices of contested elec tions, held bark for better prices, until the increased bribe amounted to 410/. Where was the difference, or was not impeached. The hon. and gallant member nest proceeded to allude to Kendal and Newry, and concluded by saying that a regard for the consistency of their proceed. ings out of doors should make them pause in punishing Hertford, when the former town escaped the rigour of the law. rather, in a moral point of view, was not the delinquency of the rich man greater than that of the poor elector ? (Cheers.) Did that house visit the guilt of the rich elector with a greater degree of punishment proportioned to the greater guilt? No ; for whilst the bill deprived the poor man of his franchise, it permitted it to the rich, Mr. O'REILLY declared Newry never returned a Whig Member. They were acting in a legislative as well as in and said we will possess you of the privilege in another way.—(Loud cheers.) This was a dangerous proceeding. a judicial capacity, and he considered they ought to pro ceed directly in the cow se which the justice of the cave demanded. He was sitting in that house in his legislative capacity, and in that capacity would vote for the motion. Mr. GUEST supported the atnendment. Mr. O'CONNELL would support the motion. Mr. WALTER said there ought to be some uniform practice followed by the house in cares like the present. Every one who had attended election committees must have been struck with the attempts made to mystify the A reference had been made to Grampound, but it was one which would not hold, for there the franchise had been altogether removed ; hut having been left in Liverpool, core should be taken to pres.rve it to those who had not abused it. Lord JOHN RUSSEEL said, that a complete case of corruption had been proved against the Liverpool freemen, :and it was not a sufficient objection to their disfranchise ment that the Reform Bill had pres,rved the franchise to the fret men as a class. The first Reform Bill proposed to subject of bribery at elections. Ile (Mr. Walter) had often been surprised at the ingenuity evinced by lawyers to conceal every case of agency. The cotnmittee then divided— For the motion For the amendment Majority Clause 4 of the bill was then agreed to. Mr. BERNAL proposed the introduction of a new clause, to the effect that no new wt it be issued until three months after the passing of the bill, in order that sufficient time be allowed for the registration of the electors, agree ably to the provisions of the Reform Act. Mr. C. W. WYNN said it was quite irregular to in troduce clauses into the bill in the manner proposed by the bon. member. Mr. BERNAL begged to say that the clause in ques tion was substantially the same as one introduced into the bill for the disfranchisement of the borough of Warwick. Mr. GOULBURN complained that such clauses were introduced into the body of the bill. Mr. I3ERNAL—The clauses now proposed only refer to the machinery of the election; they do not introduce any new principle into the bill. Sir ROBERT PEEL—The clauses proposed would multiply the body of the bill three-fold. 'f he bill ought, therefore, to be re.committed. Mr. BERNAL repeated the remark lie had already made. Sir HENRY 'WILLOUGHBY thought the additional matter ought to be introduced into the body of the bill. Mr. AGLIONBY maintained that the new clauses aught to he introduced into the body of the bill. They involved no new principle whatever, but merely formed a part of the machinery of the bill. After a few words from 311.. HALCOMI and Mr. WYNN, the clause was agreed to. Ti , e remaining clauses were then agreed to. The house resumed. The CHAIRMAN brought up the report of the bill amidst loud cheers. To be taken into further consideration on Monday next. Mr. O'CONNELL postponed the second reading of the Liberty of the Press Bill till Wednesday, the 17th of April. LIVERPOOL FREEMEN BILL. Lord SANDON, before the house proceeded to the further discussion of this bill, begged to take the oppor tunity of presenting four petitions against it, with the pre senting of which lie had been intrusted. The first was from a number of freemen in Liverpool, praying the house not to deprive them of their franchise. The next was from the sons of freemen, praying not to be deprived of a right to which they were entitled, as they had not been in way participatory in the bribery which had ben prac tised. The third petition was from apprentices in Liver pool, who would be deprived by this bill of their rights as burgesses, though they had not been impli• cated in any way in the offence complained ot. The fourth petition was from 7,400 inhabitants of Liverpool, praying the bill might not pass into a law. The last pe tition was signed by from 1,800 to 2,000 hankers, trier. chants, brokers, and others of the most influential re. spectable individuals in the place. Mr. BENETT, in rising to move the third reading of the Liverpool Freemen Bill, said it would ill become him to trouble the house with a speech on a subject now so trite to it. Lord SANDON opposed the motion. The freemen of Liverpool had done nothing to merit so heavy a punish ment, and he could not help saying, that it was very hard tint a man like himself, who so abhorred every species of bribery and corruption, or even treating, should thus stand nightly in:as distressing a situation as if he bad bribed to the utmost. Nor was it less hard to hear his consti • tuency, than whom he believed there was no purer, thus overwhelmed with unmerited vituperation. He thought the Bill a most unjustifiable ow, and he should therefore move " that it be read a third time that day six months." Sir H. WILLOUGIIBY seconded the amendment. Lord G. BENTINCK should oppose the bill, because made poverty a crime. It was a measure of the most monstrous injustice and of the grossest tyranny.—(Hear.) Of the poor, it punished two to secure the punishment ot one; of the rich, it screened two, to save one.—(Hear.) The measure of justice to be dealt out in this case reminded him of the sort of justice said to have been administered on disfranchise the freemen altogether; but in consequence of its being objected that by so doing the house would in effect he disfranchising the poor voters of different boroughs, they were permitted to retain their privilege. But the preservation of their rights as a general class could not be fairly adduced as an argument adainst a specific case of corruption. Sir ROBERT PEEL—There was no corruption at the las election.—(Hear.) Lord JOHN RUSSELL—In point of fact the freemen, during the last two or three elections, might be consi dered as voting under the influence of fear of the threat ened punishment of disfranchisement. lie could, there. fore, give them no credit for polity on that account.— (Hear, hear.) Certainly many of those who had been guilty of brio iry and corruption would escape punish ment, as they would be entitled to vote under the 101. franchise. So far the bill was imperfect ; and he would be perfectly reddy to vote for any clause or any bill which would have the effect of punishing those whose guilt had been satisfactorily established.—(Hear, hear.) It cer tainly was hard that the innocent should suffer for the guilty ; but whe❑ the extent of corruption amongst that class of voters was so great, complete disfranchisement w.. 5 the only remedy.—(Hear.) Lord SANDON thought the noble lord supported this bill on very strange and inconsistent grounds. He admitted that the bill did too little and too much— that it did not punish the guilty, and that it did punish the innocent, and yet the noble lord gave it his support. —(Hear, hear.) As to the argument that the recent pu rity of the Liverpool freemen arose out of fear of punish ment, it was most extraordinary. It would have become the lips of Judge Jefferies—that bated Judge could not have done more in endeavouring to convict an innocent man, than have said to him, " I know you are innocent, but you have abstained final guilt merely through fear of being tried at my tau, and therefore you'ought to be convicted and punished."—(Hear.) After a few words from Mr•. HODGSON, Mr. SPRING RICE said, that if any means could be pointed out of saving the innocent or of effectually pu• wishing the guilty, he was sure that no man in that house would object to it, whether the parties to he dis franchised were rich or poor, freemen or householders.— (Hear, hear.) But the effect of the amendment proposed was not to punish the guilty, but to perpetuate the fran chise of the freemen of Liverpool. So far, therefore, as that argument went, it did not bear upon the question. Anxious as he was that all who hail given or taken the wages of corruption should be completely disfranchised, be could not advise his hon. friend to encumber his bill with a clause of pains and penalties, pointing out 2,600 individuals by name.—(Hear, bear.) The amendment would have the effect of perpetuating a franchise which had proved to be a hot-bed of corruption.—(Cheers.) He would not, even at the risk of withholding the franchise from a few innocent men, forbear to take advantage of the opportunity of putting an end for ever to the gross system of corruption. He was willing to treat the fran chise as in some measure an individual privilege, but he could not forget that it was also a public trust—and when the former could not be preserved without violating the latter, he felt that he had oily one course to adopt. Sir R. PEEL and Mr. S. RICE explained. Mr. CIOULBOURN supported the amendment. Mr. NICHOLL proposed another amendment as fol lows :—" Save such freemen as have been admitted since the Ist of December, 1830, _and such persons as are en titled to their freedom, and have inchoate rights thereto." The SPEAKER observed that the hon. member could not propose that amendment until the one already before the house had been disposed of. Mr. BENETT said, that three years ago, which was the first time that he had brought in the bill, it bad re ceived the support of many hon. gentlemen who now opposed it. He had withdrawn it at the end of the ses sion, at the request of the right hon baronet, who had pledged himself to support it at a subsequent period. The house then divided— For the Amendment 63 Against it 120 Majority On our return we found Mr HODGSON on his legs, speaking to the amendment proposed by Mr. Nicholl, which amendment was put and negatived. The bill was read a third time without any division. On the motion that the bill do pass, another• division took place— For the motion • Against it Majority -57 The Consolidated Fund Bill and the Indemnity Bill went through committees, the reports of which were ordered to be received this day. .... 109 CLIMBING BOYS. Mr. TOOK rose to request leave to bring in a bill for the baiter regulation of chimney sweepers and their ap• prentices. At the proper stage of that bill be should be prepared to state and to substantiate the sufferings of the climbing boys, the loathsome and fatal disease to which they were subject, and the sufficiency of the mechanical expedients which had been devised for superseding the use of them. He was farther warranted in the application now made by him by the report of a select committee of this house in 1817, who, after due examination of wit nesses, recommended that the use of climbing boys should be prohibited altogether; that the age at which boys might be first apprenticed to chimney-sweepers should be fourteen instead of eight, as at present. Mr. HUGHES HUGHES seconded the motion. Leave granted to bring in a bill. PAROCHIAL REGISTERS IN SCOTLAND. Mr. ROBERT STEWART, in moving for leave to bring in a bill for the better regula , ion of parochial resis ters in Scotland, stated that it was not his intention to propose the second reading of the lull until after the h , tlydays, in order to allow time for its consideration. _ Leave granted to bring in the hill. COURT OF CHANCERY. Mr. LYNCH postponed, until this day se'nnight, his motion for a Select Committee to inquire into the admi nistration of justice in the Court of Chancery in England. On the motion of Mr. RUT LIVEN, a return was or dered to he laid before the house, of the costs in detail of the prosecution in the case of " the King v. Grant, Bell, and Ager," in the Court of King's Bench at Westminster, in the sittings after last Term. DISMISSALS FROM THE EXCISE OFFICE. 11Ir. RUTHVEN moved for a return of the number of dismissals from the Excise office which had taken place during the last ten years, and of the causes of those dis missals. SPRING RICE and Mr. Alderman THOMPSON re presented the injustice and cruelty of bringing before the public the names of individuals, many of whom, since their dismissal, had probably conducted themselves with perfect propriety, and were living in situations of respec tability. After some conversation, Mr. RUTHVEN agreed to withdraw his motion for the present. On the motion of Mr. BUXTON, several returns re lative to the Aborigines of Canada, South Africa, New South Wales, and Van Diemen's Land, comprising their treatment, the encroachments made upon their and any efforts on the part of Great Britain to give them re ligious instruction, were ordered to be laid before the house.

The discussion in the House of Commons last night was chiefly restricted to the question of the disfranchisement of the boroughs of Staf ford, Hertford, and Liverpool. The Tories made a desperate fight on the occasion, in which Sir ROBERT PEEL assisted them to the best of his ability, but it was of no avail, the &lin g-tient boroughs were condemned; the third read ing of the Liverpool Disfranchisement Bill in particular, was carried by a majority of 57. We are almost ashamed to recur to Sir AN DREW and his bill, but as its provisions inter fere so much with the comfort of the middle and lower classes, and there appear to be certain members in the house inclined to go any length with him, it will be necessary to point out more minutely its provisions, its absurdities, and pa:- tiality. Had we not heard of .JOANNA SOUTH COTE, and witnessed the disgusting exhibitions of a would-be founder of a new sect, we could not have believed any member returned by ra tional men capable of bringing forward such a bill. The hon. member may be sincere, and may wish to mete out justice with an equal hand, but if we judge of him by the measure, he can get credit neither for justice, sincerity, nor impartiality, and least of all for common sense. The hypocrisy of the measure, too, is equal to its partiality. One of its professed objects is to protect the working classes "against being com pelled to sacrifice their comfort and health for the supposed advantage of others," while these very persons are the only class whose com forts and enjoyments would be abridged by it ; but certainly we never read any bill so par tial to one class and so severe to another— so full of inconsistencies. Two or three specimens of its partiality and absurdity will suffice. It prohibits any person from offering for sale any article of food, and sub jects any person who shall hire any horse or car riage to penalties from 11. to 10/. ; it prohibits bakers from dressing meat—pub licans from selling beer—and makes an l ltaA i h n sesl sst t .i h lue e nsTde a n hay e ep e pa e tis s r3 s ar adiolreiyissi only to exception in favour of informers and me le nial servants, acting s. v twh i hceeo lower o t ek l r i s e ai forward wm a a s i r t d e dt r i day o f f o r r es a t l a t n h d e e l n a j b o o y u m r s e t f , t a b l e n w f e e e e k ls b h y i ms witness ingeifre his dwelling, must u e , n s ot , rl: undero if wf hr remain ihceahi chooses cloudlessistensm timmured ca nopye:via ilikl the innocent amusements and the unbounded delight o mH f his gloomy 0 0 0 f forth, be subjected to annoyance and deprivation, which, instead of making him religious, would destroy any religion he had. He can get no refreshment for himself or children—he cannot step into a coach, or enter a steamboat, or obtain any means of conveyance, or any shelter or resting place, and even on his return home, every place from which he might obtain food or refreshment of any kind is closed against him From all these the rich man is exempted. He can compel his menial servants to remain at home, and provide for his return ; he can drive out in his carriage, and carry with him whatever may minister to his enjoyment or luxury, with out being subject to any penalty, or deprived of any one privilege which he now possesses. " Verily, they bind heavy burdens, and grievotic to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders, but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers." Do not these blind lawgiver!, know, that the distinction between the ri ch an d the poor is already too great, and that thi s would only increase the alienation of feeling whic h has for years been r a pidly on the increase b etween the two classes ? But the absurdity of th e t hing is equal to its partiality. Any car ! I ' or master of a vessel which shall commence lees voyage on the Lord's Day, shall forfeit not 'e", than 501., and not more than 10 01 . f or each offence ; and no stage-coach shall commence, in any manner proceed on, or continue its jotirnetf under a penalty of 101. for the first offence' Su that, if a fleet of 300 merch antmen w e al Portsmouth but th ree wee ks ago , a nd the wF: were to change on a Sunday, no t an ancho r must be raised, though a c h a n g e of wind next morning might detain them six weeks longer, a nd destroy one-half of the merchandise, and the hundreds of stage-coaches and mails travel lin g in every wind-bound for s i x w ee ks, as was the ca l se direction through this commercial country, inns!, all be arrested in their progress at the bidding ot these wild fanatics ! Is there no place in fled lam—no corner in any place of confinement for such blind leaders of the blind ? As the friends ;, of the Established Church, and of rational reli gion, we call on the Legislature to crush at once this monstrous bill.
