LORD JOHN RUSSELL'S REFORM BILL OP 1852.
—The rumours continue to be quite as contradictory as
ever. One report is, that the new reform bill will not be
so much an extension of the suffrage as a granting of new
members to certain towns and districts not represented at
present. Another is that the parliamentary reform party
has premised to support Lord John Russell's reform bill,
provided it goes the length of household suffrage.
The latest rumour is, that the ministerial pro-
gramme will embody a large scheme of financial
reform. Taking into account the very great re-
duction in the price of commodities, Sir Charles Wood
is to announce the intention of government to effect a very
large reduction in the expenditure, in some departments to
the extent of 25 per cent. The sav,ng thus effected will be
devoted to the reduction of the tea duty, the paper and the
advertisement duties, and other taxes on articles of general
consumption, with a view to give an impulse to trade, and
reduce the cost of living still further. As fur the income
tax its renewal for three years will be proposed, with se-
veral considerable changes in the mode of assessment, the
result of which will be to relieve the trading and proles-
sessional classes, but to reduce the r►te at which persons
are liable to all incomes above 501.—Leeds Mercury.
QUEEN'S COUNSEL ATTENDING NLlsTEtts.—The
Attorney and Solicitor-General have given their opinion
that Queen's Counsel cannot attend as advocates before
Masters in Chancery.—Legal Obeerrer.
A MODEL LODGING-HOUSE LI being fitted up by
Mr. Sydney llerbert for as many of the unmarried la-
bourers of the parish of Wilton as may be disposed to take
the benefit of it. The spot selected is in a very excellent
situation, being in the centre of the borough. The house
will be furnished with every convenience, and a house-
keeper will be provided. The meals will be at stated hours,
and the dietary will be ample but ',lain, and each inmate
will have a separate bed. A library will be attached, and
as one of the curates of the parish church will reside in a
part of the house he will occasionally deliver a lecture to
the labourers. For all these advantages each labourer is to
pay 4s. Id. a week only. Whether the result will equal the
expectations of the right hon. gentleman cannot, of eoune,
be foreseen; but of this there can be no question, that the
project proceeds from the kindest and most benevolent nio-
tivea.—.l.hoisas Gazelle.
