REFORM MEETING AT LEEDS.

SPEECH OF VISCOUNT AMBERLEY.
A densely crowded meeting of reformers was held
last night in the Victoria Hell, Leeds, the MAYOR in the
chair, to consider the question of parliamentary reform.
Mr. Bantu, M.P., and Mr. W. E. Fourth, M.P., sup-
ported resolution condemnatory of the conduct of the
Hones of Commons in negating reform, and calling upon
her Majesty's ministers to halal the pledges they had no
solemnly given to the country.
Viscount AmataLET, the eldest son of Earl Russell, and
who ft is understood will be the second liberal candidate
for Leeds at the nut election, made a speech in support
of the resolution. He said he might be cousidered
to have a special historical connexion with the reform
question, and he than proceeded to advocate in • very
enlightened and liberal strain the claims of a large propor-
tion of the working classes to political enfranchisement.
It had been said the people were apathetic about reform ;
but if this were so, the cocelusion he should draw from
that theurestance was directly opposite to what the
conservatives drew from it. Is seemed to him that if
people did sot oars about reform, sod if they were in-
differed to the possession of votes, it ought to be re-
prded as a national misfortune. His lordship pro-
ceeded as follows : -Representative institutions require
that, so far as meals, the people should be admitted to
the dada of members- (leer, hear)-ead the ultimate
aim of representative inalltutioas is not fulfilled when a
considerable proportion of the people are still debarred from
the exercise of the privilege. ("Hear," and applause.) It is
objected sometimes that by the admission of the people
you would place the whole power in the hands of a siegle
class. Ilium very violent or sweeping MiaalitiS were pro-
posed, this would no doabt be • serious objection, and
would demand serious coasidaration. it is so objection
to the moderate measures that are now proposed-them,
hear)-but even if we were to go math further with reform,
if we were to propose • much wider measure than this, I
don't think it would be an entirely conclusive argument-
I do not wish to place power in the bands of a single clam,
but at the MAW time it is exceedingly unjust tare account
of this 'Make as Important ea should be deprived of
the power altogether. And when I see Mr. F. Peel is his
recent speech alai that all clam and all interests are at
peewit fairly represented in the House of Commons, sad
defending the present constitution of the House of Com-
ma on that proved, I must calm that I am astonished
at the beldame of his language. (Hear, bear.) I quite I
presume that land sod capital are represented in that
house, but lam unable to perceive that there is • fair II
representation of War. (Cheers.) Now it is extremely
difficult to my how far we ought to go in repressating
labour is the House of Commons. There are great dith
anis la the way of sudden changes ; sod therefore it
may be more desirable, and lam iodised to think it is, 1
that we should proceed in this direction by gradual sod i
aucasive steps ; bet I cannot think that the task of
reformers has been entirely accomplished until something
more has been done than even the moderate measure of
