PARLIAMENTARY REFORM.

Mr. BRETTINOHAII said he was s snail veffied, and
' should rejoice in the estimation of the whip der ever. He
surved—.. That is the orioles of this meths do dal stele
late ministry Is to be attribeled M their went et pealed
Is-
tegrity, and that without a sempleee sad theme! :Arm
of the representation in the Oemmess blase II perilemmi
there can be no security for the peer* se be the entity
and stability of the throne." (Chem.)
Mr. MITCHELL seconded the resehdies. Hs observed
that the change of ministry did not meek affect the gela-
tion before the meeting ; for, thing\ these wee se linger
a ministerial reform hill before the semitry,it might be
serviceable as a beacon to par it in review. The late mea-
sure strongly resembled the play of " Haman," with the
part of Hamlet omitted. (Cheers.) Had the ministry
lived long enough to press their measure on the country, it
would have been as offensive in the nostrils tithe people as
would the "preserved meats" at Portimesuth. In re-
ference to this bill, he would alter an old couplet, and
say—
" Though to their share hallway ea error tall,
Thiej egging mann Yr parpamis
With the House of Commons constituted as it now was, a
change of policy was impossible, even with a change of mi-
nistry. It was for the people to make up their minds not
to be fooled by the House of Commons. (Cheers.)
The Cit•IMIAN put the resolution, and it was car-
ried unanimously, amidst great cheering.
Mr. FREBTU moved—" That in the present state of
public enlightenment and political knowledge, an extension
of the suffrage to all occupiers is imperatively called for
that the ballot is indispensably necessary ; that triennial
parliaments are absolutely required ; and that small
boroughs should be extinguished, and electoral districts
arranged, so that population, intelligence, and property
any be mon equally represented." (Cheers.) He ob-
served that this resolution had been prepared lest week by
a committee, with a view of tiakering up Lord J. Ras-
sell's bill ; but as they were now beginning de woo, it
might be worth consideration whether they would not
demand a more extended suffrage than ono to all occupiers
merely. Ile thought property was sufficiently represented ;
labour and intellect ought to be enfranchised; and he saw
no reason why any man untainted with crime should not
have a vote. (Cheers.)
Mr. MANNINO in seconding the resolution, said, he bad
carefully examined the all but defunct Reform Bill of Lord
J. Russell, and had come to the conclusion that it was a
thing not fit to exist. Dr. Derby had been called in and he
was of the same opinion, for be proposed that it should be
publiclstrangled on Friday nest. (Cheers and laughter.)
Mr.WALL moved an amendment, declaring, that an oc-
cupation of six months shouid be sufficient to confer a TOM
on any male adult untainted by crime.
Mr. M'DOWALL supported the resolution, and recom-
mended the meeting to sink minor differences, in order to
great obct.
gain •
r. PETTIE took the same view, and advised that the
amendment should be withdrawn.
Mr. WALL con,ented, but said he should afterwards
propose his motion as a substantive resolution.
Ultimately it was put as an amendment, but very few
hands were raised, and the original resolution was carried.
Sir B. HALL, M.P. was received with loud cheering.
He said, that at the meeting in that hall, throe weeks age,
ha bad advised them to meet again, if the bill of the gowns-
I mat adi not meet their expectations, and he was glad th
W dew M. As, however, the bill was dead, he would
Wen* Stela about it, beyond pointing out what were its
god end whet its evil features. It certainly contained
✓e
MOM provisions. The property qualification of
asemilM's Me to be abolished, and the franchise was ex-
ift so much es might he wished, but a great deal
hem a minister of the emote. That was there-
Ihne a step is the right direeticia. As regarded Mazyle-
bone, be did not thing Wthe redivides of the borough bea-
ching to U. would have much iseressed the number et
electors ; but in the other boroughs throughout the
dam it might have given an aggregate increase of half a
million of vegan. (Hear, hear.) Then the principle of re-
presentation accompanying taxation was admitted to scree
extent, by the proposal
.of • 40s. tax-paying franchise.
The bill also recognised Joint occupations. The evil of the
bid was, that the franchise was left too high, there was no
ballot, the ratepaying clauses were continued, as were sep-
tennial parliaments. But the great objection wee, that all
the little wretched boroughs from Abingdon to Yarmouth
were continued, instead of being placed in smother
schedule A. (Cheers.) And what was worse, no lees than
13 of the defunct rotten boroughs disfranchised by the first
Reform Bill, were proposed to be resuscitated—es
though this could tend to purify the representation of
the people, by enabling a man to purchase • seat with a
cheque for 2,0001. without ever going near the electors.
(Hen, hear.) thee 13 boroughs, which formerly re-
turned 26 members, contained • very small neither of 101.
houses,—oeuld any one guess how small ? (" A tioesamd.")
No, not to many ; not more than 302. (Hear, hear.) In
many of these places there had not been a poll in the
memory of man; and yet these miserable little places
were brought forward to preserve what was. called the
balance of power, or of parties, which he could not under-
stand, unless it meant that Abingdon was to balance Man-
chester, and Caine Liverpool, and so on. iLaughter.) He
was glad there was an end of this bill. (Cheers.) We were
now in • crisis, as it was called. We were to have new
ministers, and he would read a list of them. (Hen the
hon. member read the list given elsewhere, each name of
which excited groans and laughter.) There was one very
curious appointment—the Woods and Forests, Lord d.
Manners—the gentleman who had once stood for the city
of London, and who somewhere in his poetical works ex-
pressed the wish—
Let laws sad learning. trade mad sammeree,
Satendpmeene oar old nobility.
(Cheers and laughter.) The man who was to be the
leader of the House of Commons, Mr. Disraeli, had in 1833
leveed en address to the electors of that borough ; and he
Oh B. Hall) would take care that, at the next election,
Wt Marne went before the electors of Buckinghamshire.
Thelma. gentleman then said It is possible that the twin

ara* may be restored—first, by force • secondly,
by a sedition between the two aristocratic parties. But,
