' BRITISH COLLEGE OF HEALTH, NEW-ROAD, KING'S-CROSS, LONDON. MR. MORISON, the President, and Mr. MOAT, the Vice President, in conjunction with all the Honorary Members, and Country Agents of the British College of Health, being now fully borne out With the conviction, approbation, and indubitable proofs, of upwards of 200,000 individuals (who had been thrown aside by the Faculty, and out of the Hospitals, as In curable) having been restored to sound health by the Universal Medicines ;"—with all this incontrovertible mass of evidence in support of the Hygeian Theory and Practice, which challenges the controversy of the whole body of Medicists, under the old system, to subvert, they, the heads of the College, hesitate not to declare, in the face of the Faculty, that this • new light must com pletely change the whole course of the Materia Medics, and introduce a new era in the science of Physic : that, in 'fact, mankind will be taught, in future, a new and certain mode of investigating the nature and cause of Diseases in general, and of possessing a certain and harmless mode of ' are, making every individual his own efficient doctor. In confirmation of what is here asserted, the Heads of the College mean to insert, in this Paper, a continued series of new cases, from individuals giving their n ime , , resi dences, and dates of time of cure, ail of which have been vo luntarily given, and ascertainable as to the facts by inquiry. CURE OF AN INFLAMMATORY AFFECTION OF THE HEAD. " To Mr. MORISON, the Hygeist. " Sut,—ln gratitude to the Almighty, who, through your in strumentality, has, by the use of your invaluable Universal Medicines,' restored me to sound health, after a long and severe surerhg cf what the doctors called an inflammation in the head ;' and for the benefit of my fellow sufferers, I beg leave to lay before you and the world my severe case, and extraordinary and rapid care by your means only. I have loag laboured under most distracting pains in the head, for which the Faculty could ?he me no lasting relief, until they pronounced me past all cure, 'laving, as they conceived, an inflammation on or about the brain, and left ins to seek rest in death. Mr. Haydon, your in dustrious Agent, being among my friend; who came to admi nister spiritual comforts to me in my expected last moments of Iny existence, saw a ray of hope in the prompt use of your pills, and immediately administered them to me. The effect was like magic —a few hours of such rest as I had not had for a length of tune took place—copious evacua ion.; followed—my drooping spirits rallied—and in a few days I was restored to the aid of my wife, and eight helpless children, in full and perfect health. I ant ready to testify all this on oath before any magistrate in the kingdom, if required, and most anxious to answer any inquiries to all who may call on me. " I am, with my grateful family, Sir, " Your very humble servant a GEORGE PAYNE. " 7, Rain. alley, Spicer-street, Bethnal Green, December 1, 1531." CURE OF RHEUMATISM. " To Mr. MORIsON. 46 61e, —With pleasure and gratitude I relate to yeu the won deful benefit 1 have received through•' Morison's Universal Ve_ getalsle Medicines.' For some years I have been afflicted with ♦iolent rheumatic pains in my limbs, so as to disable me from following my employ, attended with urinary obstructions. Having tried several of the Faculty to no purpose, I was directed your worthy and active agent, Mr. S. Haydon, No. 5, Fleur de-hs-court, Spitalfields, by whose attention to my case, and di recting the use of the Medicines, I am perfectly cured, and now enjoy the blessing of health. " With gratitude to Mr. Hayden for his care and kindness, I remain, Sir, your humble servant, BEN. HARRISON. "99, Long-alley, Crown-street, Finsbury.square, Jan. 2, 1832.' C. 'UBE of CRAMP in the LIMBS, and PAINS in the SIDE, HEAD, and STOMACH, and LOSS of APPETITE, &c. t' Mr. MORISON. Ste,--It is with the greatest satisfaction that I have to ap prise you of my perfect recovery, by the use of the ' Universal Medicines,' from a complication of disorders that has affected !Ay whole frame for more than 20 years; such as cramp in my legs, pain of my side, head and ston - wch, loss of appeti, and a f_ fected lungs, &c. This re. toration of health I attribute solely to Your infallible Vegetable Pills, for after taking but a few boxes, under the direction of your Agent, Mr. J. A. Haslett, 147, Rat cliff Highway, my appetite was restored, my pains left me, and I ' 4 ,,,ay say that lam now as a giant refresh'd with strong wine.'

KENYON, the Lords were or dered to be summoned for the ►second reading of the Agri cultural Labourers' Bill on this day week. Lord GODERICH presented, by his Majesty's com mand, the papers relating to . the convention with France connected with the s'ave trade. In answer to some ob servations which were made on this subject last night, the Noble Lord had to state to the House, that the ratification was not received in this country till the 19th of December, which was three days after their Lordships adjourned. The LORD CHANCELLOR here entered and took his seat on the woolsack. The Outstanding Lottery Ticket Paymentßill was read a second rime, on the motion of the Earl of SHAFTESBURY. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE preseuted a petition from Sheffield, praying their Lordships to legislate for improving the supplying of Anatomical Schools. The NOBLE MARQUIS also presented a petition from the towu of Wellington, in favour of the Reform Bill. Adjourned till Monday. HOUSE OF COMMONS, JANUARY 20. The Sheriffs of London appeared at the bar, with a petition from the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Common Council, praying for leave to bring in a Bill to carry into effect the contemplated improvements in the neighbourhood of London-bridge. O❑ the motion of Mr. Alderman Wool), leave way given to brine in the Bill. Mr. Woodthorpe, the town-clerk of the city, appeared at the bar with a report relative to London-bridge, which was read and ordered to be printed. Mr. SANDFORD presented two petitions from Sower setshire against the General Registry Bill ; also a peti tion from an individual named Swift, residing in a town in Somersetshire, engaged in the silk trade,romplaining of the distress under which that trade laboured,which the petitioner attributed to the great importation of foreign silk. It complained of the extent to which smuggling was carried on, and stated that so injurious were its effects to the manufacture of the article in this country, that a man who worked nine hours a day could only earn 9d. The peti- ' tioners implored the House to take the subject into its serious consideration. Mr. Alderman VENABLES said it had come to his knowledge that the subject had very seriously engaged the attention of his Majesty's Government, who intended to make such an alteration in the law as would have the effect of checking the system of smuggling. The Hon. Member hoped ere long a law would pass to punish struggling by fine, imprisonment, and hard labour. Mr. Alderman WAITHMAN would be glad to see the subject before the House in a snore regular shape. He knew aat petitions were in progress in different parts of the country, which would shortly be presented to the House. The petitions were lead and ordered to be printed. - - Mr. SANDFORD presented a petition from Welling ton, in Samersetshire, in favour of the Reform Bill.—Or dered to be printed. Mr. KNIGHT brought in a Bill to enable the Master or the Robs in Ireland to try his right to appoint the Se cretary to his Court, which was read a first time, and ordered to b,. read a second time on the 13th February. Mr. HUNT gave notice that, in the Committee on the Reform Bill, he would move to substitute for the 101. clause that all householders paving taxes be allowed to vote at elections for Members of Parliament ; and that, if that mo tion were lost, all housAolders who were excluded from the right of voting should be exempted from paying taxes, and from being compelled to serve in the militia, or the Royal Navy; and also he would move that all elections be by ballot. The Hon. Member also gave notice that he would move for the insertion of a clause as to the punishment of Peers who interfered in elections. These notices were the same that Mr. Hunt gave last Session. Mr. LAMB brought up the report of the Committee of public accounts, which was ordered to be printed. Mr. STRICKLAND presented a petition from Pa triugton, in the East Riding of the county of York, against the General Registry Bill. He was convinced that the more that Bill we+ understood, the more would be the opposition to it. It was defective in principle, ob jectionable in almost the whole of its clauses, and still further objectionable as giving rise probably in future to a great expenditure of the public money for private purpo.es. Mr. CAMPBELL deprecated such a general condemna tion of a measure on the preservation of a petition, and entreated Hon. Members to wait until the proper oppor tunity arrived before they gave a decided opinion upon it. Mr. HUNT protested against the language used by the Hon. and Learned Member; he thought the Hun. Mem ber wished to have the measure discussed, but now it ap peared he was afraid of discussion. Mr. CAMPBELL was not opposed to discussion, but he was opposed to those interlocutory remarks which he called discussion, and which afforded no information to any person. Mr. SPENCE was not surprised at the opposition to the measure by numbers of small landed proprietors, be cause at public meetings they were told the Bill would increase delay and ex i ience ; he denied that such would be the results of the Bill, and he hosted that the small proprietors would not be misled by such arguments. He trusted Hon. Members would for the present suspend their opinions until the merits ,of the measure came fairly before the House. • Sir E. SUGDEN .Isked if it were true that the people had been misled at public meetings, how was it that none of the advocates of the measure attended those meetings, in order to undeceive them ? Mr. STRICKLAND denied that the people ; had been misled by any person at the Yorkshire meeting. He knew that the proceedings of that meeting would come before the House in a very powerful shape. Mr. MACKINNON presented a petition from the Mem bers of the Friendly Society for Preventing Cruelty to Animals, praying for an alteration in the Act, com monly called Mr. Martin's Act, and in so doing gave notice that be would move for leave to bring in a Bill to amend that Act. Mr. BRISCOE supported the prayer of the petition, which was then read and ordered to be printed. Mr. MACKINNONIthen gave notice that he would move for leave to bring in the Bi.l on the 21st of February. He also gave notice that in the Reform Bill Committee he would move to introduce the same clause as he moved last Session viz. that in all towns in which the houses exceeded 500 and not above 1,000, the qyalification should be a rvntol of 151., and that in towns hewing above 1,000 houses it should be 201. Lord PAL\IERSTON brought up certain papers re lative to a convention between England and France, rela tive to the slave trade, and papers relative to the payment of the Russian loin, which were ordered to be printed. Lord MAITLAND presented a petition from the borough of Appleby, praying that the state of that borough might be further inquired into. Mr. CROKER observed that if the allegations in the petition were true, he thought they would have the im portant effect of removing Appleby to a higher place in the list—that it would relieve it from disfranchisement altogether, and he therefore recommended it to the earnest and attentive consideration of the Members of the House. The petition was ordered to be printed. Sir G. MURRAY presented a petition from the county of Perth, decrying the proceedings which had taken place in different parts of Scotland, in consequence of the re jection of the late Reform Bill by the House of Lords, stating the opinion of the petitioners t..) be that that Bill was destructiv e of the Constitution of the country, pray ing that the House would adopt some measure of frugal Reform, hat objecting to so swee : ing a measure its that which had been proposed. The Right Hon. Baronet rcon curred e n ti re l y with the op i n i ons expressed i n the petition, and tr uste d that the House would at all times deprecate any a s tetnprd,, tt rd to to carry a en p t u h b e lic tab m ie. easure by means of theat.t..... Ordered Si r EDWARD SUGDEN presented a petition signed by betty, en seventy and eighty solicitors of the highest respectability of the county of Gloucester, against the Registry Bill. The Hon. Member also presented a peti tion from Galway, praying for an extension of their elec tive franchise. Mr. SPENC E presented a pet i t i on f rom th e f ree h o ld ers of Ripon, against the R..gistration Bill ; also a petition from the p ar i s h of K i r b y Leighton i n th e N ort h Ridi ng o f 'Yurklbire, ha favour of the liefurut dill, Mao a elitism Mr. HUME observed that he had presented four peti thus of a similar nature from the brick-makers of Mid dlesex. He had no hesitation in saying, those individuals, by taking off the duty from slates, had suffered' , a very heavy loss. He considered the interference of the excise with any branch of manufacture a great nuisance, and one that ought instantly to be done away with. He thought the petitioners were entitled to redress and relief, and he submitted to Ministers that at a time when distress was so general every single duty connected with manufac tures ought to be taken off. . Mr. BRISCOE trusted that Miuisters would take the subject into their serious consideration. Mr. WILLIAM BROUGHAM presented a petition from two persons (father and son) prisoners in the Fleet, praying the House to take their case into serious consideration. The Hon. Member considered the case of these two poor men a peculiarly hard one. They were advised by a solicitor to enter upon an estate in the county of Kent, and cut down a tree, believing that by so doing they would raise their right to the property in ques tion. A suit was then instituted in the Court of Chan cery for the purpose of obtiining an injunction to re strain them from doing so, which was granted under the same advice they cut down more timber, and an application was then made to the Court to com mit them to the Fleet prison for contempt, which order was made, and the prisoners were at the present moment unable to clear their contempt, in come r quence of not being able to pay tlaticosts,.hitrright to which the plaintiff refused to ab.ndon, and a Court of Equity, under the first of Geo. IV., was powerless to give them relief, unless the costs were paid. The Hon. Member stated that, after presenting the petition, he should move for leave on Monday next to bring in a Bill to alter and amend the powers of the Act, to which he had re ferred. Mr. PAGET trusted the House would give relief to these unfortunate individuals in some summary way. Such cases as these were a disgrace to the country, and he trusted that the Hon. Member who presented the petition would propose some summary measure to the House by which the objects of the petition might be carried ioto immediate effect. Mr. W. BROUGHAM would be delighted to bring for ward s,nne summary proceeding, but he firmly believed that the House could not relieve the petitioners without an Act of Parliament, unless Hon. Members would pay the costs out of their own pockets. After a few observations from Mr. HUNT, the petition was ordered to be printed. Mr. W. BROUGHAM then moved for leave to bring in a Bill to amend and enlarge the powers of the Ist of Geo. IV.— Le we was given for Monday next. Mr. H. HUGHES gave notice of his intention to move, on the 1 , 4 of March, for leave to bring in a Bill to amend the Building Act with regard to party walls. REFORM BILL. Lord JOHN RUSSELL, shortly . after Five o'clock, moved that the order of the day for the House resolving itself into a Committee on the Reform of Parliament Eng land Bill he now read. Lord MILTON wished before the House went into a Committee on the Reform Bill, not for his own satisfac tion, but for the satisfaction of those who resided in the country, and who only read what passed in that House from the daily Papers, and not the Bills themselves, to inquire of the Noble Lord whether the clause with respect to the fifty-pound freeholders, which had been proposed last session by the Marquis of Chandos, formed part of the present Bill? For himself, he was satisfied that it did, but many of his constituents in the country entertained a different opinion. Lord JOHN RUSSELL observed that the bOl. clause, according to the proposed amendments, was retained in the present Bill. Upon entering into the merits of the question, his Majesty's Government were of opinion that the amendments proposed by the Nettle Marquis having met tt ith the approval of a majority of that House, ought to he included in the present Bill. The SPEAKER then put the question, that the Order of the Day be now read for the House resolving itself into a Cominittee on the Reform Bill, when Mr. CHOKER rose—He was really surprised at the proposition which had been stated by the Noble Lord, for he really was in hopes that the House would have come to the discussion of the committal of the Reform Bill, in a spirit of fairness, impartiality, and candour, and after the fullest information had been brought before it. No man in that House was more anxious than himself to bring that question to a termination as speedily as justice and a due consideration of the subject would admit of. Ile now rose for the purpose of imploring the House and his Majesty's Ministers not to force on a premature discussion. The Noble Lord opposite had stated the night before bast that the information necessary to dis cuss the Bill in Committee was not ' perfectly prepared— that they were not prepared to go on with the schedules and clauses, but that some of the minor points of the Bill might be discussed. He (Mr. Crok, r) did not wish to interpose unnecessarily with the proceed. ings of the Committee, but he would now take the liberty of reminding the House of a few important cir cumstances. On Friday the 16th of December he wrote to the Noble Lord opposite, requesting him to give hint certain in'ormation before the House went into Committee —that Noble Lord had assured him that information should be given, but he had not as yet received it. On Dec. 17th he had also written to the Noble Lord to request him, in order to save time, to furnish to him the it: m 4 which formed the principal features of the Bill—those items had not been furnished till this morning. Now he (Mr. Croker) really thought that before this, the Noble Lord would have been able to lay the materials on which Lieut. Drummond's calculations, were formed, before the House— or that whatever information Lieut. Drummond had to make, the statements which were delivered to the House on the 12th Dec., might have been brought forward. It was not necessary for him to labour this point, but it would be necessary for him to state one or two particulars which would chew the House the necessity of pausing before it went on with the business of the Committee. The House would be surprised to find, that Lieutenant Drummond's list was calculated on such a principle that the few and trifling alterations (as they were called) produced this extraordinary result—that it changed the places of forty-eight boroughs in the original list of a hundred. nit number 40 being deducted in conse quence of Lieut. Drummond's suggestion that they were of little importance, from 40 to 110 there are 44 changes, and two.third.i of the whole list presented as the . basia of a new Constitution have been changed in their relations. Lieutenant Drummond had chosen one hundred boroughs, and by adding the aggregate amount of taxes, he gave to each a particular place in the list, not depending on its own value, but on the value of these with which it was connected. Having made some alteratiow in the higher numbers, it, in con sequence, operated in this way,—that is to say, that those which bad no alterations in themselves, were nevertheless changed in their position, and an effect is produced on the earlier part of the list which totally disorgareaed it, and changed the boroughs in their relative position. Take the number 56 be disfranchised ; if in place of 100, 60 were taken, a different order and relation would have been given on this principle, and the position would have been so altered that the borough to be disfranchised would have been saved, and the borough to be saved would have been disfranchised. He begged to state one particular in stance. There had been laid before the House yesterday and to-day two additional documents, and several others previ ously, and he had selected only three boroughs for inquiry as to the information thus produced. Ai for the borough of Caine, the number of houses in No. 2 amounted to 710; No. 3 confirmed that, and added this circumstance, that the C onmissioners and Returning Officer agreed with Lieut. Drummond that that number was correct. Nos. 5 and 6 were silent as to Caine, but No. 7 computed the number at 996. No. 7 was delivered in the course of yesterday. But this morning No. 8 was delivered which gave not' 710; not 996, but 673.—(Hear, hear, hear.) Every one of those alterations in the value of Caine not only gave it a different place in the lists as respected itself, but altered the places of all the other boroughs in the list.— He would take another instance, Chippenham, in No. 2, was stated at 649 houses ; the third list corroborated that statement. No. 6 stated it at 788, being a differ ricre of 140 houses.--(Hear.) But No. 5 stated it not at 648, not at 710, but at 653. Indeed, every one of the suggeolive paper, varied IA choir avaalacro froz-one ' soother; and this was the more remarkable, that so the principle of Lieut. Drurnmeod's lists, bonsai were preferred to population, as a criterion for t re Lea tee the elective franchise.* He bad not had sufficient time to make rut the exact relation of places, ierwhich Caine and Chippenham would stand in the list ; but he had made this calculation in reference to one borough. It could surprise the House, that the boroughs to which he referred, and in which - thine • most material alterations were observable, were those very bokoughs whose names were as familiar as household words, Caine and Maltoto— ( Hear, bear.) He would take the case of Mahon. fn No. 8, Malton was stated to have 1,079 houses, and it was of course put very far out of the way of disfranchise ment. Oh, fortunate Melton ! he ha 1 before said, hut it was not • more' fortunate . • before than it was found now. No. 3 corroded • a trifling error in taxation, and states it at 840. No. 4 brought it up again, end there stated it to have 1031. Then at last the pa,.er AI this mot-nit - Iz., No. I, brought down Melton to 792, heing a difference of three hundred houses between two documents delivered within forty-eight hours of each other. The Commissioners were preparing another return, and he (Mr. Croker) supposed that when they went home to-night, they would find another o•port which most probably would at last be the . eorreet one respecting Melton. The consequence of all this • would be that Melton, which originally stood No. 110, if he report of No. 5, in 2, was correct, would be. sunk down to 89; if the second report of Ne..-5 hero one, it would be 'raised considerably move ; if. the third were true, it would be raised to 107, though in t e paper delivered this morning it was again sunk down t 98, and probably by the next report it would be changed to something else. Having stated these farts, weich were undeniable, they exhibited in the clearest manner the confusion and absurdity of the system and pro ceedine that had been adopted, and which be bad not the slightest doubt arose from the different views, different plans, and different limits. proceeding from different persons; and what he was anxious about was, that in the midst of this confusion and absurdity the Members of the British Government should not he called upon to legislate, but that they should be allowed to wait till they had that information which no doubt it was his Majesty's Ministers' intention to girt, a nd which would enable the House to come to a correct conclusion. Under these circumstances. and especially temente the House had not received the information which it was stated it would be put in possession of, his opinion was that the House was not in a state to r. solve itself ,nto a Committee. The real otrunal reports were the only basis or authority which the House could proceed upon, and until these were laid before the House, it was• impossible for Hon. Members to know what to do. He blamed not his Majesty's Ministers for the want of the necessary information which the House laboured under, as it arose no doubt from the difficulty of procuieng it. Teose who recollected what he (Mr. C.) said respecting This difficulty just before the House adjourned, would do him the Justice of acknowledging that he lied emir...rely predicted this difficulty. Ministers, at the same time, considered that what he thus predict d was all chimerical, and premised that the Members of the House should be in possession of all the information in the course of a week. He (Mr. Croker) had hoped to have found, contrary to his expectations, that this would have been the case, that much time and much trouble would have heen saved, but no such information had they been to This hour put in possession of. If his Majesty's Minis ters persisted in urging on the debate, they 'night empannel as it were without indictment—they might even go on to cone demn, but it would be conviction without evideece. He was ready to go into the Committee with the same spirit with which he entered it before, and to assist in tarrying into effect the orders of the House, when that Bill should enable him to do so, but be asked his Majesty's Ministers to give to the House, and the country, in the first place, that extent of information, without which it would be utterly impossible that they could make even the first step towards a proper Reform with any degree of safety. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said the question was, whether the House was in a state to resolve itself into • a Com mittee agreeably to the notice of motion that stood in the Order of the Day. He did not deny, that in order to investigate the particular claims of particular boroughs, to be exempted either from one place or from another, it might be necessary that gentlemen should consider, as attentively as possible, the number of houses in each particular borough, and the amount of value and taxation. The Noble Lord said he was ready to state that that port of the Bill, containing the schedu'e, could be better dis cussed at a period when the Right Hon. Gentleman and the House would have had an opportunity of looki ng into and examining all the numerous papers which had neen presented, but that there was any reason for postponing the Committee, or that there was not suffi cient information before the House to enable them to go at once into the Committee, he could not accede to. As to the pledge that the Right Honourable Gentleman said he (Lord J. Russell) gave that the papers would be ready in a week after the adjournment, he must say that, in • public, he stated they would be ready by the 17th of January, but he admitted that in private he told the Right Hon. Gentleman that steins part of the information would be ready in a week; hut as he had already said there were some parts of the list in which it was neces sary to make some corrections, and therefore lie thought it inexpedient to present to the House at that time any information which he thought might requite re vision, consequently those papers were not presented till last night, and now they were ready to be delivered. Some part of the list of the 12th of December was still tinder inquiry, and he put it to the nom whe ther be was acting irnpropetly in postponing that information until sufficient inquiry had been made. Some of the inquiries were still in progress, and some of the papers were still in Lieutenant Drummond's hands, not corrected, but there was not any place . now in the two schedules which it would he necessary to alter in the list of the - 12th of December. There was not a which it w o uld les necessary to heave out o fi f , : e ig seesenhele that place, dule A or schedule B. The H ous e would therethere was no necessity whatever to refrain from eoing into the Committee, and to decide whether or no 56 baroughs were to be disfranchised, and 30 boroughs were to return one Member. The Right Hon. Gentleman had mentioned now, as he did last session, the cases of Caine and Chippenham. As to those boroughs, there had been a similar error, namely, that the Commissioners having given and pointed out what were the limits of the boroughs the surveyor had made mistake', and consequently there had been a va riance in . the returns. There were other boroughs, however, which were alike similarly circumstanced, and in which Lieut. Drummond had to judge b tween different and separate accounts, sometimes taking , he census of the year 1831, sometimes the statement of the returning officer, and sometimes the statements of the Commissioners, in many of which eases those statements differed ; so that the House would perceive the great difficulty of arriving at a just estimate. One great objection to the Bill of last se'sion wee, that they took away the numbers from the cen sus without examining the limits of the borough. He knew the great difficulty of taking an emu late account, and now he found that in taking 'melt accounts there was a great variance in the state molts that bad been returned, and between which they hail toChoese.—(Cueers.) However, having :idopted that plan they were still accused by the flight Hon. Gentleman, but they could note be properly blamed, although separate returns were laid befo.c ihe [Lithe and ens number differed from the other. The case ul Melton hail been one, in which it appeared that the number 1300 had been placed by mistake instead of 1830. An inquiry had since been made, and the result of that inquiry was, de it it still leaves the borough in the schedule in which it was first placed. It was at first s wed to contain 110 houses, which was twenty-four above time line of disfranchisement. It stood now 107, which MIS twenty-one above • disfranchisement. In the care of Appleby it would also appear that sortie mistake had been made, and two separate returns had been sent up. If the Right Hon. Gentleman thought it an easy task to give the number of houses within the lierite of a borough, he was very much mistaken. Lieut. Drummond was required to give in a list by the 12th of December, be did so, but stated that it was the last list he could furnish considering the time in which he had to make it. That clearly indicated that he could not pledge himself for its accuracy. Now, the lists had been made sufficiently accurate as to require no alteration in the -chedules except in one particular case,- which he (Lord John Russell) had already mentioned in his opening speech. He therefore proposed to go iato the Committee, and ascertain whether the 56 boroughs In schedule A should cease to return Members, and fur the purpose of enabling the House to come to that decision the papers now before them would enable them to judge. There were a great many boroughs whose limits were entirely unknown, - some whose limits tv,ere very extensive, some whose limits extended to the town a n d . others a great way beyond it, so th,t . the - 11 °_ u _7 e , would perceive that it required great dii!eerice.". care to obtain the information w hich had bean Right lists.
