UNREPRESENTED TOWNS (IRELAND).

del not think that the girlies of parliarnen_tary reform

WI there were a number of basoughe In that osentry so
small that they were kept ender proprietary and corrupt
influenoes of every kind, and whir& should have leer con-
sidered is any measure of reform There were in Ireland
no less than 16 boroughs, not one of which had mare than
300 registered electors, and of these, seldom more then ME
the number actually voted. Of the 16, sin had is thee
100 electors, and it appeared that under the alterations preh
paved in the Irish Rlrrm Bill not one would remit 4,40
ek.tont, whilst 12 would have under 300, and four less then
lad Surely these were constituencies to continue which it
was not memory to disturb our present parliamentary sys-
tem. Such a scheme as was proposed was, in fact, not
but a mockery of reform. and it would be much better to
'etre theme as they were.
The Duke of NEWCASTLE declined entering into this
controversy until the Irish Reform Bill should be before
their lrdships. He admitted that it was not a measure of
much magnitude—nothing to take • mares breath away—
hot a• they were not goring to disfranchise any of
th, small boroughs of England, to deal with there

THE STAMP DUTIES BILL
The Duke of riewoesni, i• miming the mama read-
mit of this hill, sad that the Steadies Orden Noe. 37 and
:101 should be considered, ia order to their being dispensed
with, said, d he rightly undsouteed what on • former ocan

should w 4 sew ester epee say dietaries of this bill or the
Income Tax Dllt, bat that the etionteriou should take place

J the giwermand eaaY be &hated If that wee the
trel'im of Noble lords, he should be acting MOTO in con-
formity with it by armadas at this time from
going through the clauses of the bill. He would
ther-fore merely state, in explanation, that this
hill generally proposed to carry out the principle of
disc:um coliain articles with • penny and other small
stamp duties, and it wt. found that, though the
rm. were mall, they brought in a considerable
revenue to the Exchequer. The principle was first adored
isrespect of the Post-dice. and then extended to receipt
marois. It was afterwards carried another step by the right
hr 'gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer of the late
imernment, who promised to charge bankerediequee with
a sail stamp dety. The hill before their lordithips pro-
mised to impose stamp. from Id. to 6d. upon those arti-
cles and retittres which would be (ouzo' in the schedule. He
mid nitwit that some .thie.3lolt• would be raised to the bill
as the pound that it would interfere with the operation of
Wade. He thought, however, that when the financial scheme
ef the goventirat should be carried Into effect it would be
folcal that it would greatly relieve the trade of the
einstry from so reetrainta, and that would
be dose to • great entail this system of small stamps.
The hill was then read a second tune.
The LORD WEAKER (Lord Redemble) then moved
that the 'tending orders should he considered and dispensed
with, sad the motion haring been agreed to, the bill primed
through committee, anal was read • third time sad pearl.

bum (I,rd Montragle) intended after Easter to raise •
full diwussio• cm the general financial scheme of the govern-
ment.

The hill was thee reed • second time.
The LORD SPEAKER (Lrd BedewWe) then moved
