to Mr. Glad-tone, promised to stamen Monday on what

were the diportAtion f coolies from the East 1ad,..;
the queet.on of blocking out light in bull lines, the laws
of masters awl servants, trades' union., the Factory
Asta, and other matter.. The subject of Reform was
revived by Sir William Stirling-Maxwell, who premed

meat felt there on It. omission from the Government
proposals. Instead of 52 members, Scotland, he arsued,

the impeller of creating an impression that Scotland was

J. Ogilvy, Bir hi. Colehrooke. Mr. Hionaird, and Mr.
Ill'L.ren. who insisted that by ineream of revenue and
nopitletion Scotland was entitled to 12 additional
borough members, and by Bleier Caroming Ilium, who
