a large extension of the franchise, unless they
accompanied it with a wise and eytitable redistri-
bution of seats. lle sketched u schene• which by
the disfranchisement and grouping of small 1
soughs would place at the diaposal of .4. .vernment a
sufficient number of seats to satisfy the claims of
the larger constituencies for increased represeL-
tation.

H All a objected to any town haring more
than two members.

Mr. Dittivv,i COMpiailled thht lii. lioroNh
(Swansea) had berm left out in tin, odd, ;
be urgi,l its elanna, it being one of the b.er towns
with a population of above :;(1,000 which hove only
one momber, to an additional member.

Mr. I :Lsl,,:',/NE referred to the notice paper,
which contained notices for giving additioi.al
eepre.votation to various towns, which if agreed to
would involve sixteen seats. Then there acre the
claims of the counties to be considered. Ile ang•
gusted that these and the claims of Scotland should
be decided upon before they proceeded any further
with propositions fur redistribution.
Mr. Balmer said the observations of Mr. Glad-
stone showed the extreme difficulty the house vas
in with regard to the tineation of redistribution,
and ho expressed his regret that the government
had not adopted his suggestion to separate the two
questions et franchise and redistribution. He ex-
pressed a strong opinion against increasing tau
number of members of the house, though he ad-
mitted the claims of Scotland to nor members.
The I:evict:Lim; of the EXclit:rEtt said the
opinion of the house was to be gathered, not front
speeches of members, however distinguished, bin
from sit .ti,ms and divisions. A motion had been
carried by an overwhelming majority that nu
borough pith a population of lean than 10.000, and
which now returns two Members, should in futare
retuni more than one ; and another moti in was to
disfranchise boroughs with a population of less than
fire thousand, and there was a considerable majority
against that proposit• . The government heed
acted on the opinion of the house as gathered frim
those divisions. Mr. Gladstone had alluded to the
various clauses of which notice had been given by
various members. His answer to that was that all
the clauses brought forward by the govenanent
bad been disposed of. All the new clauses were by
private members, and government intended to op-
pose them. They were not prepared to support
any further disfranchisement «f any borough.
A motion t o report progress, which had been
made by Mr. Rozaues to put himself in order,
was then withdrawn, and
The CIisNi•ELLOR of the EtcHEQUER hating
moved a clause that Birmingham Liverpool, and
Manchester have each an additional member,
Mr. 11AliFIELO proposed that Sheffield be added.
Mr. LAIN.: said ho should vote against the
amendment. He thought after what occurred at
Sheffield they should take the opportunity of
giving that town a moral lesson.
Mr. Ots:siross demurred to the proposition,
that because a few persons had been guilty of
atrocious outrages in a town they ought not to
give to the town its fair share of representation.
The snore they gave the people the privilege of re-
presentation the less likely were the people to
resort to unlawful means of remedying supposed
wrong._ _ _

Thu CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in reply to
HOMO observations from Mr. Henley, intimated
that government had given way on Mr. Honiara
motion because they received a conununication
from a number of gentlemen that they could not
further support them unless they entered into that
compromise. He thought it, however, unwise to
proceed further in that direction, and he should
therefore vote against the amendment.
Mr. HIBBERT should vote against the amend-
ment, because he accepted the clause proposed by
the government as a compromise.
On a division the amendment was rejected by
258 to 122.

Another amendment, by Mr. BILRILLIY, to add
Bristol, was negatived by Z 35 to 136.
Mr. Serjeant °ANNUM moved to add a proviso
that the towns in question should be divided into
wards, one returning two members and the other
returning one member, which was negatived by
2&i to 136.

Mr. Blount asked the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer from what source he proposed to take the
four members, and remarked that the clause
giving an additional member to Salford had
already passed the committee. He characterised
the proposition of the Chancellor of the Exchequer
to take the four members from the proposed new
boroughs as a mere shuffling of the cards.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said what
he proposed was what Mr. Bright himself had con-
stantly recommended—taking the members from
the smaller boroughs and giving them to the larger.
Mr. GLADETOVE observed that the proposition to
take from Salford the second member already given
to it could only be made on the report, and would
certainly be resisted.
Mr. Avarua thought the time had come when
they must ask themselves whether they were to
pass the bill this session or not. He considered
the compromise of the government a fair one, and
that they should now proceed with the bill.
The CHANCILLIAM of the EXCHEQUER said lie
should be prepared to state on Thursday what
changes he proposed to make in the schedule.
• The clause was then agreed to.
Mr. LAING, who had given notice of a clause to
group certain boroughs, said he should not now
propose it, but he thought the time would come
when they must give more representation to large
boroughs and counties and take it from the smaller
• boroughs.
' A clause by Mr. Nesrr.,togive votes to members
of corporations, lay or ecclesiastical, in respect of
lands ()sued by the corporation, was opposed by
the CHANCELLOR of the Exensou ER, as introducing
a new principle unknown to the laws of the coun-
t try, and was negatived.
Mr. Ifiessur moved a clause rendering the pay-
ment of expenses of conveying voters to the poll
' illegal. The expenses under this head in England
and Wales amounted to 100,0001. at the last elec-
• ton, and he thought the time had arrived when
candidates ought to be relieved of this expense.
A discussion ensued, in the course of which Mr.
.W. MARTIN and Mr. H. BAILLIE pointed out the
difficulties that would be caused by the clause in
' counties ; Mr. CLAY and Mr. OSBORNE supported
: the clause ; and Mr. GLADSTONE supported a sugges-
• tion that the clause should apply only to boroughs.
Mr. lIIIIREET acceded to the suggestion.
.• Mr. Hefty pointed out some difficulties which
would arise if the clause were agreed to. Some of
the large boroughs were on the same footing as
counties.
