of the edition refined* sad Gad among the sew para-
graphs the following
" The 101. householders are. it is generally admitted,
envilling to shave with others the lirtvilegi voting foe
a member of parliament. This roluatasee, I imagine,
would be felt, thee& la a is.. daps, man the extension,
lateral ionised of vertieal—in other boson if it wars ro-
Med to WM a wing to the home instead of seeder nary.
"Be the reluctance, however, what It may, we may pre-
sume that the body of 101. hooseholdera are at the least
as minions to public opinion es ths old aloes exporatiom

Add to any doer dessoestration of the naticoal will, es
expeened by eleadoss, public meetinp, the press, sad
other chasm& of public opinion.
"It most be added, that the opponents of any plan for
lowering the franshiee kayo pissed their mini cos as the
most odious as well ea the most untenable grouted- The
salt shopkeepers do sot differ much in position, and em
sot at all superior in iatelligesm to the workmen readying
twenty, thirty, or forty shillings a week in wages, melding
in the mine town. The declared exclusion of worldsg
nee, as intemperate and ignorant, is so invidious, that
their immediate superiors, who live is 10& houses, will nob
like to remain long in the polities of barring the door at
rocs against the best of their customers and the most
enlightesed of their neighbours.
"The other and more formidable) objection is, that the
new camera will swamp the old voters. Talc objection,
though not very carefully distinguished or undyed by
those who make it, rests on one of two grounds. The
int is, that the voters who live in booms below the value
of tee pounds an unfit to love a vote ; the second is, that
this clam it ea) numerous, that if admitted, all other dames
will virtually be disfranchised _ . .

" With Moped to the neat objection, the answer mint be
—lf they are unlit to vote, do sot edmit them .t eILI Why
takes poems Who the eoestitution, relying epos some
antidote, the Amoy el which has sot yet been tried? Why
give ignorant and dishonest mem the power of capsizing the
venal? Why admit them among the crew at all? But, iv
fact, the working men of Enema are sat as a body either
ignorant or dishonest. They largely avail themselves of
those feeibties to acquire political and historical knowledge,
which, by the chespeess of boob sod of newspapers, have
of late years so mush increased. Their daily employments,
depending as they do upon their ioduetry, skill, and swath-
sees, are * guarantee for the character of the majority
among them. . . .

"The addition of inch men to the number of eleeton i.,
therefore, a security, and not a danger. It will teed to im-
prove the quality of the elected body, and to reader parlia-
ment more sound in its general views, and more attentive
to the national interests. In feet. those who have ds•
dared the working men of England unfit to exert* the
franchise, erect a homer where none ought to exist.

"For the working men do not teem a caste apart, lope-
tete in their feelings and their interests from the rent of
the munamoity ; they me not likely to disregard these ems-
section and ties which bled them. like the upper red
middle classes, to their political perky ar religions corn-
, nankin ; nor are they likely to feel lees for the honour
I and welfare of England than any otter class in the attics.
"All the endeavours mule in this direction by the on-
sanative party are, I measles, mistaken in judgment and
nowise is policy. They teed to make a democracy where
it does net exist ; to amine ear political ecestitntioe
within a pale of privilege ; sad to brand with degradation
men who ought to be honoured for their honesty sod intel-
bloom .

•' Thus, instead of giving to oar oonstitutios new se-
curity, the effort. of these who 'maintain that the ?ma-
shies must sneer be lowered, or that, if extended, it should
In °sly in a Literal directioo, are tending to create a sew
danger. The waling clam are sot very eager to have the
franchise. It is a privilege which mast be memompasied
with imasseed risk of differences sad jars between em-
ployers end enepleyed. Bot when the working clan are
told that they me ea ignorant class, an intecipsrate clefs,
and • dishonest class, those who might have bone the

It is an improdest as weU as an untrue imputation. It
toads to We that very hostility of classes which it pre-
tends to depremte.

•` The exteesive d the frenehise, therefore, should be
vertical as well is lateral. Numbers have proved thee
fitness ; let numbers be admitted.

" What should be the precise amount of rent or of
rate which should entitle the inhabitant of a borough
to vote, or whether the old householder right of
voting with three years' occupation might not usefully be
the test. I will not hero prsised to &tannin," A lodger
suffrage of 101. rent might, perhaps, be added."
Further on his lordship gins remain why he thinks it is
sot expedient that the smaller boroughs should be extin-
guished by say further large pewees of disfraechiseesseh
The lest reform bill of Lord Palmerston's government
went quite far enough in this direction. The 121. rata
hosehies, which is now the law in Ireland, " might well,"
says the noble earl, "be adopted for English and blob

Last night the theatrical performance in the long
marques by the st. George's Riffs Dramatic Club, took
place, sod everything was attended with perfect emcees.

merited applaoss from a very appreciative audience.
The other characters were well sertainad as follows :

Altogether the performance in the "camp theatre
proved a decided Esoraus, everything paned off agreeably,
and with great teled. We should say there were shoat WO
people present, volunteers sad their friends. Amongst the
company were Lerd and Lady Echo.
The shooting commenced this morning under eery leave-
picioam circumstances. The rain dew:seeding in fewest% ac-
conipsuied by aS. W. wind, made the shooting viwy bed•
and gave everything a very miserable appearance.
