Aftora fo. worTls from Mr. HANKY against the bill,

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER observed
that there were many difSculties in the way of *Midi's'
On this subject. and that it would be impossible to deal with
them without obtaining the moment and co-operation of the
Bank of England. He thought the better MITI, would be
to proceed step by step, and deal not with abstract
principles, but the practical wants of the people of Scotland.
The subject of banking in that part of the kingdom no
doubt required revision, but at this period of the session it
would be impossible to pass a measure which could give
pascal satisfaction.
Mr. HUBBARD was unable to support the bill,
although he should like to am one uniform imperial
currency.
The debate was continued by Sir C. O'Loghlen, Mr.
Black. Major Hamilton, Mr. Goodwin. and Colonel French ;
bat ultimately Sir J. Hay consented to withdraw the bill,
in the hope that government would not allow another
amnion to pas without introducing a general measure on
the subject . . . .

I:6tkE Kr. moved that the house should go into com-
mittee on the Jersey Court Bill, the object of which was
reform the coastitution and practice of the Royal Court
In that dependency.
Sir G. GREY said that the states of Jersey had expressed
their reediest@ to introduce the necessary reform. without
the isterfereme of the imperial parliament, and recom-
maseded that the bill should be withdrawn to give them an
opportunity of so doing.
Yr. PAID LL (for Mr. Roll) moved se an amendment that
the Mates of Jersey he beard by their counsel, and be al-
lowed to adduce °valence at the bar in opposition to the

EXTENSION or THZ FRANC:I3 88. —A public
meeting was held last evening at the Freemasons' Tavern,
Great Queen-street, Liocoln'oinialields, for the purpose of
inaugurating a movement for obtaining the extension of the
axe to all wen not morally or intellectually diem:Willed.
lir. Edmond Reales occupied the chair, and wee supported
on the platform by several well-known sad infineutral
middle-class reformers and leading men amongst the trade
and other unions of the working classes. The large hall
was densely crowded. Mr. Yam, the secretary, reed
letters approving the object of the meeting from the
!alloying members of perliament : Mom, John
Bright, Coo. P. Taylor, Stanefeld, Forster, Bexley,
Leathern, Sir I& i'eto, and many others. The
Chairman expressed the pleasure he felt is
having been asked to preside over that important meeting,
which be trusted would result in the union of the beet
portions of the middle and working classes for the attain-
ment of the franchise by the latter, now so unjustly with-
held from them. The refusal of the right of suffrage to the
Intelligent working men of this country was an insult and •
dangerous injustice to the country. Manhood suffrage
worked well in our colonies, and be believed it would work
equallj as satisfactory were it adopted, as it Otlian to be,
in this country. He reviewed at some length Mr. Gladetowe's
/ate speech on the franchise, and returned his thanks to
that gentlemen for the liberal opinions he bad then ex-
pressed. Mr. Les (printer) moved the first resolution, which
was to the effect that the present mete= of representation
was one of great injustice to the people. Mr. Nicholay, of
Oxford-street, seconded the resolution, which was sup-
ported by Mir. Mallema, of Regent-street, and carried
unanimously. Mr. U. Howell. bricklayer, moved the
second resolution as follows :—" That is the opinion of this
meeting the time has arrived when the unenfranchised
mimes of the people of this estuary should be admitted
to • share io the rights of election of members of the
House of Commons, by that right being exceeded to all
resident and registered male persons of sound mind and
unconvicted of crime." Captain L. Rogers seconded the
resolution, which was supported be Mr. Washington
Wilke, and carried amid loud cheers. The remaining reso-
lutions, having reference to the organisation for carrying
out the movement, were moved, seconded, sod 'lmported
be Messrs. IJ,vis, Morley. Weston. Longmaid, Wheeler,
Whitlock, and Clarke, of Maoebester, and also carried, and
the Ornovolings of • most entheefeelic mid crowded meet-
ing concluded at a late hour with • vote of thaaks to the
chairman.
