A meeting, called bye requisition to the Mayor, we
signed by upwards of 500 inbabitente of the boroogh, was It
held bare this evening, to urge the government to e
istroduco • reform bill in the next *mien of parliament. at

Sir F. Crowley, Mr. Stansfeld, IL P., and Mr. Akroyd.

Mr. Armor"), without committing himself to the espies-
lion of any decided view, said he considered the gs
time had arrived far the settlement of the Ire-
form question. He was favourable to soy measure 7;
which should admit the working dames to • fair share of 1
electoral power, but sot to a measure which would give •
prepoadreatitig power to soy oleo. se.
Mr. STAIISTZLD, in en able speech, admitted that daring LI:
the government of Lord Palmerston there bad been an in. 64,
terrorism on the subject of reform, but argued that it was St.
• mietaks to suppose that during that administration liberal ft
ideas had made no progress and no victories. He pointed to 54
the brilliant and ancessoful financial policy of the Chancellor
of the Exchequer, to the inestimable boon for the people of • so
cheap and untaxed press, to the adoption of commercial at.
trestles, and to the preoervatioa of aeutrality and pease
with the United States at a time when the country might
have been dragged into war on the side of the slaveholders St
as some of the results of the liberal policy. On the subject of 1,
reform he said a decided majority had been returned to Ito
the Horne of Commons pledged to support a measure of ene
this description. and their character depended upon •
measure of politiNd reform being carried. They could—and 100
he believed they would—carry such a bill, which would at.
admit the industrious. prosperous, progressing artisan Tto
population of our towns and cities to a share in the rights es.
and duties of polities' life. (Cheese.) To hand over the et
subject in any shape to a royal commission would be to de.
gt
dare either the incompetence or insincerity of the govern- LOU
mast which led it. This would be isconsistent with the la
ohataister of the statesman who led the party, and there-
to
toe
fore he did not believe it.
Sir F. Caossur said he was ashamed that the parliament see
which was elected to carry reform had not redeemed its to
pledges. He had no objection to lateral reform, but they at
must insist also upon a vertical reform. (Applause.)
