porters of the amendment IS default at batten argimeels,
pointed out that, though the working-desess. as be
freely admitted, differed is no respect in their news
sad character as Bagbahmen from other glasses, this
Bill subjeived them to a gerbil trial ant temptatioa
without calculating the consequences. The franchise to
them was a convertible commodity ; thous who eared
nothing for politics would use it to dean
‘beit
end those who were anwioM about polities n
diem their wiventage from it Is Maas legislation.—
Captain Grosvenor sepporked the Bill in a limly spessii.
—Mr. Butler Jebosteme greed that no Reform Billsomid
be sediefsetory to any aide of the HOMO !Web was n4P•
prodaeed in its ialeeeity, wed lee warped the Goters•
I meat that in proportion as they threw themselves into
the arm. of Mr. Bright they would sever themselves
from the real feeling of the oonntry.—The O'Donoghue
sup?orted the Bill in a speech composed in the toga of
abstract disquisitions on the best form of government,
the tine character of & repreeenteige geom, wed the
necessary &Haulm of a Reform Bill, concluding that the
extension of the franchise was the essence of Reform.
Mr. Bente on the other hand, ass mincers friend to our
mixed form of government, defended the Bill as cal-
uhiled to mote all classes by doing justice to large
masses of our fellownonntrymen —Mr. Newdegate
dwelt on the delleiencim of the present emuity repro-
in...tenon, one though 'avowable to a redaction of the
fianchise, declined to support the Bill, lemma until the
re-distrhution scheme two produced it was impossible
to see whether theme osoinsim would be re Ireseed.—Mr.
Lucke King. after referring, amid immersing
signs of impattenos, to the history of previous
Kills, woepted the measure ea an honest settlement.
Mr. Disraeli was repaired with loud and prolonged
cheering, and commenced his speech by &mhos with
the motives asaigned for the production of this
measure. The origin of the Bill be traced to Mr.
Gladatone's celebrated speech; and he opposed it be-
muse its elect& could not be understood the
further measure, were before the House, and taken
aloes it could produce no much contagion that if passed
ae it stood it must be revised before • dissolution meld
take place. In dealing with the effects of the Bill be
showed that• begs WWI of arban voters now reediest(
beyond the bounds of Parliamentary boroughs would In
imported into the county eionstitesocies, and this be
argued mast destroy the just influence of the landed
Interest. He had no objection to the reduction of
county franchise, but it tarot be on the principle that
the franchise elicaild he exercised by those who were
committed with the property and industry of the
ocuttry. An alteralion in the fresehies
ought to be conceived in a eciastitutioeal spirit, but
this Bill he denounced as & stop towards Amoebae
institution., which, however fit for that oseatry, were
unfit for England. The Chaeseellor of the
Exchequer congratulated the Heise on 04419 as
last an authoritative declaration of opinion (rope lßs
loader of the Tory party " on this moderate imetelassots
denied that Lord Pslinerston was hostile to Whirs,
and mentioned that a short time before bb desth he
had expreeed an opinion that it would be necessary
spin to bring forweed the question. He defended the
Government frost to. charge of having consulted Mr.
Bright, lobate' out that the Bill only contained one of
his recommeodations, vindicated and esplained his

charge of Lord Cranborne, he denied that he had
ever used out of the House tamper in resent to I
the Howes wnich he would not use in it.
He eapatiated at length on the virtues of the working
dames, which fitted them for the (reran*. laying odlins
on hear pcient and patriotic seeded in the cotton
distress. and, after contraming the varying arguments by
which the amendment had 110.11 supported, he meseluded
by ac eloquent warning to the Opposition that, however
GO, battle may go. they were fighting against time, and
mot be ommeered in the end. It was five minutes
lest three when Mr. Gladstone sat down, baying woken
just over two hours, and the diviaion was then taken in

densely crowded. The division last VO minutes, and
when Mr. Bread, the Governenest teller, took the paper
I containing the numbers in hand, the MinisterWiste
loudly cheered him, but their cheers were speedily
