TIIE REFORM BILL OF 1867.

A great contrast to the numbers who assembled
ue.tuberw' orders last session to bear the debate on
Reform Hill presented itself this morning. Last year
ti o'clock in the morning straiwers had crowded
only the waiting-rootu by the sole of the Clock
T.'err. whose occupants had the preference of seats,
na: also St. Stephen's Hall, but not so to-day.
rooming, however, some enthusiasts to the
te::eher of 3U, had assembled as early as half-pest 1,
I'd:el....yard. where, in a pelting ruin. they quietly
w.,ited till 0 o'cioek, when the .looni of Westmuister-hall
were opened, and they then, drenched through, proceeded
to t.ike their irate in St. Stephen's-hall (the waiting-room
h:r lest pm nese being now closed). By a special regula-
tion our shiced this session each person presenting a mem-
ber:. enter has it marked by the police in the oiler in
w; idp they are presented and take their seats accordingly,
w'..ere they must remain till lialf.past a, unless they engage
a! e. us. There were plenty, however, of these
goitly ready to act at from prices varying front 10s. to
I. but it was not till between 10 and 11 o'clock this
n..ening that 711 orders had been presented, which number
.n out :ill the strengers gallery. After that time they
e...,e inure numerous. Tli,a marked contrast was a
of fre•pieet comment.
