since Monday week listening to the *atone and sentiments
eapreesod, and members might well be astonished and be-
wi Bred, as to how they would vote, but by the opinions
they had beard stormed. It was said of the celebrated
John Wilke that when asked what his politics were, he re-
stied, " I never was a Wdleette." A great many ben gat-
emen ware in that portion; they bed Ward opinkme Erma

they had heard bun. g.ntlemea endeavouring to throw dis-
sent among their ranks, and holding opinions which might
very well come from the right hon. member for Cambridge
and the eight hen. Rudman who at beside him. Those
two gentlemen had left the government with great

The right hew member for Dublin University had

reminded Um at Hamlet soliloquising :

POW. it with the bill. The Pint Lord of the Admireityleld
them It was an olieskre end factious resolution. (Hear.)
He theoght scab ea expression of opinion was not at all
issued, (Hair, hear.) The whole inside of the bill
had been asemeemelied by the right hon. member for
Strad, midi bed wither principle nor loickbons. The bill
had cselesd waft but dosatiefaction, it did nothing but
unsettle misting _auengessents. He maintained, it did not
admit any oolediandde motion of the working Chilli to the
=lament of their regime; It admitted some mew doom,, but
it deprived the borough tentboldFs el tirirpasient rights; it

mainAsined ell the smell boroughs, sad (what wasl;;;.siii
the moat oblectlonable parts) it proposed to introduce voting
petters. TIM small number of electors voting at the late
election he Marylebcme was urged as an argument he their
introduction ; but it proved nothing, aP, of course, with two
liberal candidate' in the field, the conservative electors would
not cars to vote. These voting paper., like those need I. the
election of :guardithe by parishes, would be liable 0 a great
amount of fraud. He did not wont to is. say seise dis-
placement of the present eystem ; he wee not in favour of
electoral districts, or of nolfermity of 'Orem' ; he
very much adhered to the opinion of the right
hon. member for Carlisle, who raid a few evenings ago,
"I will say that a bill, taking as the new point of deportee;
the 101. franchbe for counties, lowering to a considerable
'start the borough frenehies—proltibiting the payment of
travellinerespenses, multiplying polling places, disfranchising
within moderate limit' the smaller boroughs, and enfran-
chising, with strict impartiality, the larger counties and the
leaver cities,-1 say that eves now, at this moment, my
belief is that a bill so framed would command support on
each side of the house. To such a measure he
would be disposed to give his medial adhesion. He trusted
be should sea this principle soon embraced in • bill which
might had tea satisfactory ism. He trus'ed that this year,

listen to that appeal, but not by adopting this bastard
system of legialettou. He trusted this question would soot
pets Iwo abler and better bends—into those of the noble lord,
who had a hereditary claim, or there of the hon. member for
Birmingham, wbo represented the teeing oat of doors. It was
said the noble lord woe actuated by party motive', and that this
