sides, adopted into the third shame in the most aseisable

not Scotland should have seven nvir seats or the ten .

Lion. Mr. Bright and Kr. Glealetons urged that
the tee members should be banded over bodily to

Dee to Edinburgh, ooe to Domani, sad to
and one each to the comities of Lanark, Ayr, Aberdeen,
and Perth. There was so much opinion in favour of
two members for the Universities that Kr. Baxter con-
seated to that, and to withdraw his propeaition to give
oat of the members to Perth. An attempt was made
by Mr. Bearden to sFeak, but be was heeled down, even
bisma mingling in the expression of disapprobation.

instead of four, as w be the case if Kr. Beater's
motion was amieded to. On • dictates the amendment

/dr. Disraeli inquired whether, after such a division, it
would not be better to go on quietly with the plan of
Lb. Government. A wrangling eiacussion ensued, after
which promeoings were taken to cut down this numb.r

Sykes cheered the Howe for • division bat now took

video:aloe to seven 'Ultima' members, was agreed to
with a view to reverie all that had beers dose in the
last two or three hours. Sir Lawrence Palk moved s
proviso to the effect that no diminution of the con-
stituencies of England or Ireland be allowed. To
oppose this. Government aid Opposition united against

was rejected by 202 to 96. Clause 8 was then agreed to,
and progress was repotted until Thursday.
TOZIIDAT. - Kr. Lebcriebere moved that all diplo
meta salaries should be so paid as to some under the
manual revisioe of the House. It was opposed by Lord
Stanley with lees plasticity than usual, on the groood
that the pretest mode was convenient; and the noble
lord persisted even to accepting • challenge to adlelsion,
Ii which he was beaten by 76 toll. The subject of
assidheeta in collieries was introduced by Mr. Greene,
who got in his speech, notwithstanding the ominous
sippearanes of tbe Howe,; but the diseminton bad not
gooe far when it wss out short by a "oount out."
THUESDAY.—Ifr. Disraeli dated, on being asked, that
be did not intend to disfranchise the three condemned
buriinghs left after providing seven additional sears for
Scotland, and that be intended to adhere strictly in
other respects to his distribution scheme for that
country. 'I hen Lord Mayo intimated that as the eon-
ditions on which the Government plan for • Roman
Catholic University have been rejected by the represen-
tative prelates of that Chetah, the sebum, was at an
end. Committee on the Scotch Reform Bill vu
resumed, and any expectation that the measure would
r smoothly end pleasantly was Noon disappointed, for
in ten minutes gentlemen were hotly engaged in a give-
end-take discussion, ending in • division most mosaic-
ally composed from different sides and parts of the
House. The theme was the apportioning of Glasgow
Into three wards, each of winch should return •
member, which was prepared by Mr. Graham. The
point Involved von became whether Glasgow was to be

,a "vile body,' on which the eyelets -of trisaolar
voting was to be tried in illoothad. Mr. DilirDell
opposed the maoadmont, se it would reverse the
principle laid dews teit4 ear for the irspresootatioa of
minorities. Mr. Gladstone thought it would be •
recommendation to reveres Um principle in questioci,
but as • great many on his OWD aide did not share hia
views he did not consider it desirable to re-open the
controversy for the sake of adding on* more ooa-
sti t yto that esperiment. Mr. Wight exposed the
evils of minority representation, sad for doing so was
accused by Mr. Liddell of trying to introdues American
principles into the Constitatios. Mr. Bright warmly
retaliated, end waa eventually called to order by the
chairman. Upon a division the anneridniest was
rejected by a majority of 244 to 186. A. slaws was
moved by the Lord Advocate, restricting sash eliestor
to two votes, but it was ultimately postponed until
the nee sixth Manse was brought up. Several other
&tame was agreed to, and progress was reported.
Famar.—Thoogh there was, as might be expected, a
somewhat small gathering, the prise...dings were lot
