THURSDAY.

The adjourned delote on Mr. Mackinnon's amend-
ment of the order for going into co iiiii iittee on the
Representation of the People Bill, to defer legislation
upon the subject till the renulto of the ('ensue had been
obtained, was the first order of the day upon the paper.
Upon its being read,
Sir J. FatitulASoN rose to move that the debate be
adjourned.
The midi wan seconded by Colonel lltegninc.
Sir G. WET said, the moving an adjournment of the
debate was a dilatory and obstructive courne, merely in
order to interpose a further obstacle to the progresn of
the Bill, and he hoped the House would not encourage
the attempt.
Lord J. MANNER); repelled the charge that the
Opponition had been ectuntet by admire to obstruct the
Bill by procrastination and delay.
Mr. INGRAM hove(' the Government would inniA upon
the In borough franchise, and upon its being • rental,
not
.a rating franchise.

Mr. W7TLINGTON, assigned reasons for not confiding
in Lord J. Russell u • guide and leader, or in 11r.
Bright as an adeher on the subject of Reform.
Sir II .CAIIINE observed that the speech of Mr. Bright,
appropriate enough to the third reading of the Bill, had
over once approached the question at issue, which well
deserved the attention of the House. He appealed to
the House to rescue iteelf from its embarriheing position,
and to the Government at once to withdraw the Bill.
Lord PALMICKSTON observed that Sir H. Cairns had
fallen into the error which he had imputed to hLr.liriglit;

his speech belonged to the committee. The tardy pro.
peas of this Bill wag occasioned by the delays incessantly
interposed to obstruct it by those who dared not oppose
the measure openly. I/id the House mean to pam A Re-
form Bill or not? The principle of this Bill had
been assented to, or why was it not °praised on
the second renting? The objections now offered .
to the Bill went to the details, to the degree
in which the finolamental principle was to be earned
out. Th 2 whole of the discussions which hail token
place on the Bill had been for the purpose of delay, and
they had now arrived at the climax of the proceeding.
He replied to the arguments founded upon the difficul-
ties anticipated by Sir H. Cairns from the postpone-
ment of the Irish and Scotch Bills to another session,
and professed his readiness to consider in the committee
the objections to details, not repugnant to the principle
of the Bill. If the other vile *honk' endeavour to de-
feat by ilelsv a 111M,Ilfe to the principle of which they
had given their assent, they would pursue a course no-
% orthy of • great political party.
Mr. DISRAISI.I eimgratulated Lord Painierdon ma the
first speech lie had insde on the Reform lid). The cm-
duct of the measure hail been left to others. sod con-
sequently hi, speech Mel been characterised by a total
misconception of the business of the House.
Lord J. Itugget.t., observed that the question was
whether this motion.wai a real, substantial objection
to proceedilig with the Bill, or for the mere purpose of
delay, briefly vindicating the course adopted by the
Government. _

Upon a division, the 'notion of Sir J. PERM:M(ON
