TO render NAVAL and MILITARY AIEN independent of the casualties which may re sult from change of service, non-piyment of Premiums. and other eircutnstinces not within their own conti,td, di e Directors of the ASYLUM have collected materials or the most pc feet character, trom which they have ascer tained the rates which ought to be pal for Policies to cover all the risks to which the officer may be exposed in the performance of his professional duties. To those who do not immediately contemplate service on f , reign stations, two pine ot per cent. per annum, in addition to the ordinary life premium, which is the lowest in England. will be chaiged for a policy coverine all parts of th e world, and all services in which the officer may then-after he employed in the British army or navy. Ofh,ers under orders for foreign stations at the time they effect insurance, will be chaNed the proper rate for that particular st.tion, and may be covered against all future change, by payo.ent of au extra tit:4 , 2 guinea per cent. per annum. . • In either of the•e cases the officer may at any time dis continue the extra premium, and hold his policy on the footing of an ordinary European insurance. To facilitate, as much as possible, the adoption of so de • able a system of insurance, the Directors will allow one third of the annual premium to remain unpaid, to be de ducted with interest, at the rate of four per cent. per an num, from the sum assured, the officer having the privi lege of paying at any time such arrears and interest, and thence'orth standing assured for the full sum originally set forth in the policy. DOMESTIC INSURANCE. The rates of the Asylum Company, whether for a term or for the whole of life, are the lowest ever published, and one-third of the Premiums may be left unpaid, to he de ducted with interest from the sum assured, or parties may begin at a very low rate and pay on an ascending scale. The Asylum is a proprietory body, supported by a sub scribed capital of 240,0001. in 2,000 shares of 1201. each. in addition to the premium fund. A Committee of Directors, attended by a Medical Officer, sit at the Company's house in Waterloo- place, every day, (except Wednesday,) at Tt ree o'clock, to grant insurances, in cases in which speed is an object. A full Board of Directors meet at 70, Cornhill, every Wednesday, at the same hour, and the Resident Director is in daily attendance, with a Me , lical Officer, at the latter place, :o grant facili ties to persons in the City.

Admiral ADAM presented a petition from Ross-shire against the use of molasses in distilleries. Sir W. RAE asked if the Lord Advocate had heard of any intruded demonstration of physical force in Gla•gnw, on the day of the Coronation, with the view, as had bee❑ stated in handbills, of awing the Upper House in their proceeding, with r. pet•t to the Reform Bill. - The LORD ADVOCATE said be understood that a ',tilers:alma was to take ;dace Glas,ow, hut nut for the put pose stated by the Hon. and Learned Member.

GREAT GRIQSBY ELECTION. Sir G. CLERK saint, that since he addressed the House yesterday, on the subject of tie del ly which hail occurred in the return of the writ for the election of Members to serve fur Great Grimsby ; he had received a lett,r from th e Sheriff of Lincoln, which completely exculpated him num all b!ame in the transaction, and showed that the dela s, rested with the town-clerk of the borough. Under these circumstances, he felt it necessary to MM . , thl.t so much of the order cf the House should be disch,rged as required the attendance of the Shea' of Lincolnshire. Toe motion was agreed to. FOREIGN AFFAIRS. Lord ALTIIORP moved the order of the day for the House to resolve itself into a Committee of the whole house on the Reform of P irliani nt (England) Bill. The Marquis of CHANDOS said it was generally un derstood that the King 01 11,1gium had apphed by lett , r to the French Government for assistance. F that wer•- the case, our Government must be in possession of a cope of a letter written by the King of Belgium, and he wished to know whether there would be any objection to produce it. Lord ALTHORP said that he could not consent to the production of the document at the present moment. Tr e Marquis of CIIANDOS then gave notice that on Saturday he would move for a copy of the note. Lord STORMONT—The Noble Secretary for Foreign Affairs had informed the House, that the French troops had proceeded to the assistance of King Leopold, in conse quence of the Dutch troops having broken the armistice. The Noble Secretary hail also stated, that the French troops would be withdrawn from Belgium as soon as the Dutch troops should evacuate that country. lie begged to ask the Noble Lord whether Government had received any offi cial information of the French troops being about to with draw, or intending to withdraw, front Belgium. if Go vernment had received such information, he wished to know when the French troops intended to withdraw. it the French troops intended to remain, he wished to know whether they would remain as troops of the conference or as troops of France ? Lord ALTHORP said that the questions proposed by the Noble Lord involved matter of the most serious importance; ile therefore thought it prod nt to decline answering them. Lord STORMONT—WouId the Noble Lord say whether the French troops intended to withdraw front Belgium''— (A laugh.) Lord ALTHORP said that it was impossible for him to answer as to the intention of the French troops. Lord STORMONT said that he meant to ask whether the Government had received any information as to the intention of the French troops? Lord ALTHORP said that he must decline answering the question. Loud STORAIONT said that he was ptiLctly satisfied with that answer. SLAVERY. Mr. BURGE asked the Noble Under Secretary for the Colonies, whether Government had taken proper measures for the regulation and maintenance of the Crown slaves who had been ettian.iivated in the West India islands. Lord lIOWICK said, that Government hid not is.ued orders for the emancipation of the Crown slaves until they had taken all necessary precautions to guard against unfor tunate consegto-aces. It was, however, gratifying to fin" hat these precautions were unnecessary. Ile had received a despatch from the Covet nor of AntLua, which state that during the five months which had elapsed since do emancipation of the Crown slaves, they had I e n occu' Nip d industriously in providing for their own st p,iart, and that althou k h their n umber was 371, no case uf ..rime Lad occurred amongst them, nor were there any complaints of poverty. Mr. F3URGE expres3e , l 3. lope that the Nob l e 1-" d Lord ALTHORP, in moving the 13th clause, said that Ministers in considering this measure had felt considerablk l'fficulty with respect to the vote which should be given to reeholders whose freeholds were situated within the limi's f cities or borough towns. It was necessary th tt hey should have votes somewhere, and the question vas, whether they should he allowk d to vote for Cie ,ity or th e coun ty. If they had decided in favook of alowing, such individuals to vote fur cite?, then knottier question would atise—namely, whether that , ight should he exercised on the same principle as it vas cxereiaed i n coun ti e s, without any reverence to resi ;core. If this were admitted, it would create a number •if non rewdent 'voters. which was contrary to the princ'plk •if the Bill. that principle being to zive the right of voting in boroughs only to individuals who were actually res , - lent. The principle which had all along been main eained. and which Ministers wished to carry into effect, w.is, to grant the right of voting in boroughs to inhald. rant householders paying a certain amount of rent ; and 'hey were also anxious to distingu;sii bona fide freeholders from those who were made for the purpose of assisting in elections. Balancing the evils which appeared on both :ides, and looking particularly to that which was con nected with non-residentship, Ministers conceived that, on the whole, it would be better to give to freeholders connected with the limits of boroughs, the right of voting fur counties, instead of running the risk of allowing non residents to vote for boroughs. It was his intention, in , k ter to prevent fictitious votes hereafter, to propose (the rights at present acquired by individuals being preserved) that in future no annuitants should gain a vote for a less sum than 101. a year. The system of thus creating votes had not, generally speaking, prevailed much in England, hut in some places there was no doubt that fictitious votes were thus created. Within all boroughs the present right of voting would be continued ; but he thought that, with respect to freeholders in such boroughs, the rule of resi dence ought to he enforced. Having said thus much, he would now propose the 15th clause. It was then read from the Chair as follows ; " And be it further enacted, that for the purpose of electing a knight or knights of the shire to serve in any future Parliament, the east riding of the county of York, the north riding of the county of York, and the several counties enumerated in the se cond column of the schedule H to the Act annexed, shall respec tively include the several cities and towns, being counties of themselves, mentioned in conjunction therewith, and named in the first column of the said schedule If ; and that, for the like purpose, the county of Gloucester shall include that part of Bristol which is situate on the Gloucestershire side of the river Avon 3 and the county of Somerset shall include that part of Bristol which is situate on the Somersetahire side of the said river Avon." Sir C. WETHERELL said, there was here a great al teration in the principle of the Bill. Lord ALT HOlll 3 said no alteration had bet n made in the clause. : he had proposed the clluse merely as it stood. Hut, to mret certain objections, a separate clause, applying to counties at I irge, to protect the rights of a particular class of men, as the rights of beemen were protected, would be introduced. Colonel DAVIES expressed his intention to vote for the rejection of this clause. In t .Ictng this course he did not wish to throw any impediment in the way of the Bill. So friendly was he to the measure, that he had hitherto almost invariably and most cautiously abstained from taking any part in those protracted debates to which it had given rise ; hut if he could show that in many points the Bill was in fficient as a remedial measure, and he could point out different provisions in it which conflicted with each other,—if he could prove that the machinery of the Bill was defective, and could not operate well,—then he thought his Noble Friend, if he wou:ii not agree to the amendments which he wished to propose, ought at least to adopt some amendments for the purpose of making the Bill effectual. He regretted that Ministers hid not, during the recess which was occasioned by the late dissolution of Parliament, applied themselves more aexieusly to the improvement of the Bill, and endeavoured to remove from it those antenalies by which it was dis figured. He a d m itt e d th i t there were many beneficial provisions in the Bill, but they were mixed up with so much "baser matter" as to be rendered comparatively useless. His object was, first, to allow freeholde , s to vate fur cities and horoug• s where the freeholds were situated, for he wished to give to the smaller boroughs a without going to the county ; an d Icy preventing those borough -voters fro m inuffiti'lieenntexe(tinpsltalcre",en 1' he was anxious to preserve th e constitu ency o f th e c ounty, averwh e l m ing t e ta—(Hear,, hear)—as well as to hinder 'Le e i ion t. e a from interii-riug with election, iOr boroughs in th e electoral districts. Though he did not mean to enter int o a discussion on the entice merits of the Bill, still h e s houl•! feel it necessary to advert to several clauses for the right understanding or the question. By one of t , e provisions of the Sill. freemen were allowed the right ' of ca t i o n-, o n condition that they lived within seven stat u t e of the place of election ; now it did appear to him s d fortiori, that the 101. ho u s eholder ought also to be re_ tiie ed to a residence within seven miles of the place of ele c tion. By the 25th clause, it was enacted, that in order to send Members 'or any' borough to that house, it wa s necessary that such boi °ugh should contain three hu n dred houses, paying a yearly tent of 101., and wh e r e there were nut three hundred housea of that annual value, the Conunissi,ners were required " to iecorporate or any part of which may be situate with the city or borough any one or mere parishes or town- Dips, the whole within, or adj timing at;res;ripiel:or:‘flr'e.evel ere only Grinstead, such city or borough." Now, if to, H e th e y acted strictly in the case of householders, as well as my i nstan ces where it would be impossible to get f freemen , on the principle of residence, he coul.l point out tw lire, hundred 10/. houses within the compass of seven mil es , This was the case with the borough of East forty-four houses rated at 10/. a year. Grin stead, where it appeared from the paper, No. 6S, pare 10, that perfectly convinced that they. could nut get three within seven miles of that place. A similrn es would apply to Norrhallerton. In the they must go twenty miles to make case of East The fact w is still mor e s t r iki ng i n Wales. up the requisite number of houses, and in that of North- Ireton sixtee n. In Anglesea there were three hundr e d 101. houses ; in Cardigan two hundred and sixty ; and in Radnor one hundred and seven. To make up the neces s ary constituency, they would be obliged to go to all parts a t the different counties for voters, and what then became of his Noble Friend's doctrine with res p ec t to t h e ev il o f n on-residence ? S o muc h f or t h e smaller boroughs ; but ,then they came t, th e l arger b oroug h s, they would find t he difficu'ty greater. The counties were to he divided, and where the freehold borough constituency was very large, that constituency must have a powerful eff-ct in deciding county elections. Let the House look, for in stance, to Warwickshire. In Birmingham there were nearly two thousand freeholders. Now it was quire clear that such a constituency as that would return one Member tor the county, in addition to the two Members for the town,— a circumstance which he supposed the framers of the Bill did not contemplate. With respect to clause 16, which gave the right of voting for a Knight of the Shire to airy person having a lease of sixty years, at the value of 10/. annu a ll y , he conceived that it would operate pre judicially. Here might be a bona fide resident householder, a farmer, %aim rented 500/. a year as tenant at will, being outside of the boundary prescribed in this measure; that :ndividual could not vote, while his neighbour, with 101. I t Bill. t w . year, being w i t hi n the boundary', possessed that privi go. In thi s c l ause, and in clauses 2 , 1. and 25, some this e f t t, u r s w ! r e t t is t . l , 'lteration o ug h t to which be made to remove the anomalies y of ng convinced Ile was s as Said 1 ) the g ' of th t e . n t n l e e t e n e er - i we t , e Bill letthrrinthasake were they loppositie amend ` i`en Ct a li it , a let quite sure of getting through the Bill this year? Was ;here not another assembly to which the Bill must be re ferred? Public tumour had stated that there were many individuals in that assembly who were not favourable even to th , principle of the Bill. If this were true, was it worth while to semi up to them a Bill so defective that they would be justified in rejecting it 7 Ile thought nor,l and if a good Bill were seat up to them by a large majo rity of that linuse, he was sure that they would pause for a long time before they threw out such a Bill Besides it the Bill were to be passed now, and to be afterwards amended, what became of its permanence, which was pot forward by Ministers as one of its chief recommendation!? Leer! ALTHORP fully concurred with his Hon. Friend that it was their duty to send this Bill up to the other fleuse of Parliement in as perfect and unobj e• ionable shape as possible ; and he nerved, therefore, that it was of be utmost importance that amendments ptoposed in tic Bill should be fully discussed. It would be vain to say 'hat Government had not head in the discussions which had hitherto taken plate, nitech that was very impot tent, and that they had profited by. It . , dewever, the oltjec *ions of his Hon. Friend to the. B Ii were as ettoetg and as numerous 23 his Hon. Friend had declared them to he, it was quite obvious that the amendments suegested by his Hon. Friend would net remove those objections. He would, however, proceed to notice some of the objections of his Hon. Friend. Hie Hon. Friend's first objettion regarded the enactments of the Bill wrth respect to resi thence. lii Hon. Friend complained that they were depriving some who now possessed votes of their franchise, on account of non-resilence, while at the same time they conferred votes on householders without making residence a qudification. But the householder, the occupier of a house, must, under the very words of the Act, he resident. The occupier of a warehouse could nut alwaye be resident, but then he would never be very far distant : and the reason of this regulation was, that it had been found that, in large towns, persuns of the greatest substance resided in villas in the vicinity of the town. With regard to what his Hon. Friend had said of the distance they would hare to go for a constituency, he (Lord Althorn) was pretty well satis fied, from all the inquiries which had been made, that there would not be many instances in which it would be necessary to go so far as seven miles in order to get a full constituency. This, the House would see, was different from the distances over which the out-voting freemen were now brought. If his Hon. Friend thought that the lis t ince of seven miles was either too far, or not far enough, let his Hon. Friend bring forward his views on that sub ject, when the clause respectiug non• resident freemen came under discussion. The Government had been convinced that there must be some limit prescribed, in order to guard against the evils which now resulted from the right of voting which was at present vested in non-resident 1 freemen. His lion. Friend had said, that in many places it would be difficult to get a constituency of 300. He thought his lion. Friend was much mistaken upon this point ; but it must be recollected, that the Bill did not say that there must necessarily he that constituency. The Bill only endeavoured to procure that constituency. The great inconsistency, as his Honourable Friend called it, of the Bill was, that by tl rowing the districts into the boroughs. and the borough freeholders into the coun ties, it swamped the boroughs in the districts, and the county freeholders in the borough freeholders. Hie Hon. Friend, however, had not attempted to show how these consequences would result from the Bill, and he (Lord Althorp) could not perceive how it could possibly ' °duce any such results. His Hon. Friend wished to get rid of this inconsistency, as be called it, by enacting that the freeholders should vote at the election of the Members for the county in which the borough was situ tied. He thought, however, that it would be most dangerous to admit the freeholders of boroughs to vote at the election of the Members for the boroughs. By such an arrangement they would enable any man who pos sessed large freehold property in a borough to convert such borough into a nomination borough. If, too, the constituency of some of the boroughs would be as small under the Bill as his Hon. Friend had wished to make out, then, if a man had freehold property in one of these boroughs to the amount only of 3001. a year, and chose to grant 40s. leases for lives, which would be freeholds, he would obtain a command ever 150 votes, which, according to his lion. Friend, would be the majority in some of the boicneeits. • He thought the arrangements of the Bill much mole desirable than the suggestions of his Hon. Friend. S.r B. PEEL said ihat the Noble Lord, following the Hon. and Gallant Gentleman, had gone into questions not immediately before the Committee. The 15th clause, which included towns that were counties of t emselvea in the a - joining counties for county elections, was the subject now belora the House, and to that he proposed to confine himself. He must, however, in the first place, thank the Noble Lord for his free, though somewhat tardy, acknow bailment, that the discussions which had been raised on his (the Opposition) side of the House, had, instead of producing unnecessary and useless delays, furnish d the Ministers with or my important improvements in the Bill. This candid and honourable acknowledgment of the Noble Lord was his (Sir R Peel's) answer to Common-Council men and Political Unions, who threatened them with the application of external force fir the expediting their pro ceedings —(Cheers from the Odpirsition.) The practical proof that the Noble Lord was right was furnished by the fact, that la , cause they proceeded faster than usu•il with the Bill for one or two dabs, the G .vernment tound it neces sary to postpone a most imp•irtant clause, because it had not been amended in conformity with the suggestions of that (the Opposition) side of the House. He would imw, with the permission of the Committee, make sonic ob-er• vations upon the clause tom. proposed fur their adoption. There were in all nineteen corporat e towns in England, and these, with the exception of the county of th- city of Bristol,—which was de ilt with in a mariner laid down in the clause,—were enumerated in sci edide H, annexed to this Idol. he wished that every gentleman would take •he trouble to peruse a treatise, of singular ability arid research. upon those towns which were counties in theinselvecwrith n (as we understood) by Mr Corbet. All the facts relating to the history, and all the constitutional learning bearing upon those facts, would be found stated with treat ability and clearness in this treatise. In ten out of the nineteen corporate towns, the freeholders had no right to vote, either for the county of the tows, or if he might be allowed to use the expression, for the parent county. These ten corporate towns were Carmarthen, Chester, Coventry, Exeter, Gloucester, Kingston.upon-Hull, Lin coln, London, Newcastle-upon• Tyne, and Worcester. In four of thein,—namely, in Canterbu.y, Poole, South ampton, and the Ainsty of York,—the freeholders had ti.e right to vote for the parent county. In five of them,— namely, Bristol, Haverford-west, Lichfield, Norwich, and Nottingham,—the freeholders had a right to vote for the city, in conjunction with the burgesses. Now, although these anomalies existed in the rights of freeholders in these corporate towns, he did think, when they were overturning the ancient fabric of representation and constructing a new one, thanalogo us i t t o w t ' i old have ie u const been ituti()n nucl t i oia b y e e tt g er and much iventothe more analogous to the Constitution to have given to the free holders of such places the right of voting for the county of the city rather than making them vote for the parent county. lie thought that if the Bill had so dealt with the freeholders of the counties of cities, it would have made an arrangement which would have Leen at once more de sirable, more convenient, and more analogous to the Con stitution than the present arrangement. Ile must say that he considered it most absurd to send 40s. freeholders, freeholders of the lowest scale, 30 or 40 miles to vote ;it the election for the parent county, instead of allowing them to vote at the election for the county of the city in which they resided. He apprehended that the suggestion he was now making would he no infraction upon the principles of the Bill, and, on general principles, he was convinced that the arrangement he proposed would h e a strong guard against those abuses wh'i 1 , , he w as convinced, would result from this part of the Bill as it now stood. He thought that such freeholders should be allowed to vote at elections for the city in conjunction with the householders, and the freemen who wer allowed to vote under the Bill ; and he would not let into such consti tuencies any one who had a vote for a different election. He was sure that erect abuses would result from the present arrangement. If a man attached a piece of ground, ever so small, to his warehouse,---a garden, for instance,—he would thus acquire a right to vote for the county. This facilitt of creating a double right of voting was pregnant with abuse, and he had no doubt that Birmingham and Coventry ~,u!d clod LLICatH to return the county 'M an a ma a , . n .,,!t heir own Members. It should l rectal-et:ter!, that in the - -nat instance the principle of the Bill, as stated he thine_ vhu had brought it forward, was to give the right of voting in towns to resident voters. In fact, non-resident everts erre altogether put aside by the first draught of the Bill. An important alteration had, however, been sulniequentie inade.in this portion of the Bill,—an alteratiun of which tot ( Sir R Peel) entirely approved, but which, at the same time, it could not be denied, was a complete departure from the original principle of the Bill; that alteration consisted in making the possession of counting-l:tares and warehouse-4 confer the tie t of voting in towns, and by means of such an alteration the right of voting was given tea 3,000 nr 4atuo non-resident vetere in Manchester alone. He thouelit that his Majesty's Ministers did wisely iii admit ting such persona to the right of voting in too•ria; but when they did so, why would they not ad m i t fie n n o lders also? He was of opinion that it would great! simplity the Bill, if the principle should be adopted to confine the right of rating annexed to a property to the district in whic's that property was situated. The ArFORN EY-GENERA L raid, tae Right Hen.. Baronet had taken this oppot tunity to attack the to nem; prineipice of the Bill ; but it ahoold be borne in mind, th at this; motion was brought forward by a wine friend of the Bill, who, try broodine over its defeena—dietecta from a'pis'h no measure could be free,—and perhaten by having viewed it with too critical an eye, though niat was, gene rally apeakine, an useful qualiticati in on the part of a Iletnte•r• of Parliament, had been induced to raise an e non -ition to this clause, from which he thointli• that it would not be difficult to show to his Hon. and G:liant Friend tat no advantageous results could fell •w. Befire he should anode or the argutnente which hid bean .oletueed try , he Right Hon. Baronet. he could not avoid noticing e toirc , o whirl, the Reda Hon. Baronet ha advert, d. and which had been a subject of considerable triumeh will the oppo nent; of the Bill for some nights past. Because a clause leod been postponed nn a former evening, it had beet, said that it was postponed in consequenve of the rapidity with ehich the Bill wis gains: through the House. and that • is M •jesty's Ministers were anxious to elicit the valuatile cen sure of the Opposition in order toun id e then: as to the, amendments which they should introduce into it. New the fact was, that this amended clause was ready written and prepared some daya previously, aped it was only owing to the indisposition of the Noble Lord on that occasion, who was to brine the clause forward, and whoeepatwrat in noose quericei were not in the House, that he, the Attorney-Ge neral, havine been taken somewhat by cut prise. after the rapid rate at which they travelled through Wale a had bean obliged to make that momentary apology for the post ponement of the clause of which so great a handle had since been made by Hon. Gentletrieo on the other side of the House. He hoped, however, atter this explanation to bear no more oft that subject from the Right Hon. Baronet. The question on the present occasion was, whether the freeloaders in the corporate towns should have the right of voting in those towns, as the Ri. lit Hon- Betonet contended that they eliould, or t; at they ',lmola have the right of voting at the Elections for the counties in which such towns were situate, as was provided by the Bill, and as he (the Attorney-General) maintained was the populationb tt arrangement. i which such freeholders wee' principal?' to Int found, and ntlte neighbourhood iieautdmoafi maintain thatta psv n a s g , r :n g t were employed in the colture of the fields, and brought who, though resident within the actin! limlto of the to::: their paoduce weekly to the Markets of the town in ques tion for sale, was much more likely to act in accordance with the interests of the population of . the county At large r than with the interests of the freemen, tradesmen, and artisans of the city, of which they could know compara tively nothing. The Bill as it stood secured the repre sentation of property in the counties, and the repreeenta tion of persons in the towns. That was the object and the principle of the Bill, and tt. was upon such grounds that he would contend that the agrirultural population in the neighbourhood of corporate cities and borough* should vote only at the election of Illemtiers fur the county, It was no reason that because that population happened to be within the jurisdiction of the city or borough in (petition it should therefore vote at the election in the said city or borough, and not at the electron for the county. There was no doubt that several of those towns, such as Lincoln and Nottingham, exercised completely the rights of counties in themselves u regarded the election of sheriffs and of other ulcers ; but it atiould he borne in mind that there were various Acts of Parlia ment which restricted their jurisdiction. The danger, he thought, of the freeholders abusing the right of the elective franchise in such cases, for instance, as Nottingham and Lichfield, was much lessened by seeding them to the larger constituency in the county, instead of retaining them in the smaller constituency in the towns. He could state, from his own knowledge, that the evil by the multiplication of freeholds was one that had taken place in the town ot 'Not tingham. Such an evil as that was provided against b - this clause, which took away the object for which such freeholds would be created in towns. If the objection of his Hon. and Gallant Friend should be allowed to be a valid one, and if his :notion should be assented to, its effect, in the case of Nottingham, for example, would be to dis franchise in part a greet number of the ten-pound house holders there, who otherwise as freeholders would have votes at the election for tl e county. There had been no complaints from Nottingham against this clau-e. He did not know what might be the fact as to Worcnster, but this he knew, that there were 300 annuitants who, as free holders, exercised the right of voting in Lichfield, and with regard to whom the inhabitants there complained, that they penseaaed nothing in common with the intereata of the residents in that town, This was an abuse which this clause was calculated to remedy. Thee object of this clause was to secure the right of voting in counties to those who were most likely to vote in unison with the feelings and the opinions of the population of the county, and the same result was aimed at in the arrangement as to the constituency which was proposed to be establialled in towns. That a change in the existing system on this point was eh tiolottly necessary, was quite inevittfle, he thought could not be denied, and it appeared to him that this was the best mode of effecting that change. Ile was ready to main tain that the principle of the Bill was to confer the right of voting on resident voters in towns, and that the giving that right to the proprietors of counting-houses aniJ ware houses was no deviation from that principle. The owners of inch property might, to be sure, live seven or eight miles from the town in which it wasaituate, but then they made their daily visits to the town in (oration, their ca pital was employed in it, its interests were of the greatest importance to them, and the mere circumstance of their not sleeping there did not bring them under the class of non-residents. When they spoke of resistence a s regarded voters, they did not mean that kind of residence which gave a right to a settlement, but that species of residence which consisted in daily communication, rommerce, and occupation in the town in which the right of voting was to be exercised. Such a residence as that would nut exist in the instance of the owners of freehceda, for they would probably only call occatliorally for their rents, aced they would be in no way identified with the trading and com mercial interests of the town where they might have a vote. In conclusiou, he would say, that there was some thing in the way in which the Bill lead been prepared that ought to give it credit with the real friends of Reform. It had been prepared by those who were anxious to build up as excellent a system of representation as possible, an i who were willing to act upon the suggestions of others who had the same object in view, and to give to them their due weight. In a case, however, where merely dote -Cs had been started, he hoped that the principle of Reform would turn the balance in favour of the Bill, and that the tin e would act upon the views talien by his Majesty's Minister r. Colonel SIBTHORPE asked, whenier the freeholders in corporate towns, who were at present liable to the pay ment of the rates there, wouai tie ; Iso liable to the pay ment of the rates for the county ior which they should have votes ? If that would be the case, they would be liable to the payment of doulee rates. which would be a peat grievance. Much was said about non-residents ; now he would wish to know, whether he (Colonel Sib thorpe) was not as much a non-resident in Lincoln, teeing obliged to remain in London nine months perhaps out of the twelve, as any of those from whom the Noble Lvrd was anxious to take the right of voting? Mr. CROKER wished to know whether the Com missioners who would he appointed by the Bali would not have a power over these corporate boroughs and cities with regard to settling their limits. In Lialitield and Gmentry, where there was a large rural popu:ation, he apprehended that those Commissioners would hay', die power of re stricting the borough population within its natural limits. If that should he the case, the limits set up by them would throw the whole rural population into the country, and the whole of the arguments which had keen this evening urged on thi« auhject would f,ll to the eround. Lord ALTHOItP said, that in his view of the case these Commissioners would certain'y have the power of deciding the jurisdiction of those boroughs. As to the question which had been asked by the Gallant Member for settleAllthatit Members of Par:lame: A, and it bad uothin g to do with rates ; c t residence according to this Bill ? Lord ALTHORP said, that the cute ~,,.60,, ti,„ II „. ITww the t el: titi
