Mr. Bnoonn mmordingly read the resolutions, and ex-
plained that the plane then under disenesion had reaped
the general mmenrrutoe and approbation of the committee
from time to tines, inapt an to the large parishes of Meryl,.
bone and St. Penman and an. or two others, which had bean
objected to as too large to ossatitnte single boroughs. That
difficulty, he was informed, Mr. Eli was now prepared to
obrla,e, and he was not aware of any other objection to their
reception.

Mr. ELT said he copaidered that u the committee had
been deliberating fee a month, it was now time to resolve on
Lotion. It was understood that Mr. Bright was that evening
to partiaßY unfold his plan. In time or four weeks Lord
Derby would most probably lay the ministerial mesons on
the table of the house. It, then, they wished the claims of
the metropolis to be regarded, they ought to suety to • decd.
lion amongst theowelms. Am no =re eaceptable Wm=
had been brought before them, he presumed that the one he
had unfolded met with aeaepßaea in its broad oaths=
Anything they contributed io the new reform Arnett=
must necessarily be rough-hewn ; the poll= and finish, sa
to minor details, must be given eleswitare. After LA=
adverting to tyros of LI: rem! pleettlem he
to the objections four large
d• am.
f
Pewee, lifs= lAmbetls and
Mile-end. Hs had himself felt strongly the beconve-
Mandl of giving to any oonatiteney more than two
mprowntatives; Indeed, he preferred one to each, and bad
therefore reconsidered that of his plea. He now pro.
I posed to group Whiter.= and Mile-end, with a popula-
tion of 104,631, into one rough, to return two mei;
and Stratford, Bromley, and Polder, with 47,064, into an-
other borough to return one. Finding that llitylebone,
Nacres and Lambeth bad to much Mortised to population
since 1851, as very nearly to reach at the present time
200,000 each, he would divide each of the.. wishes Into
two boroughs, with two members to mob. They misfit
readily be divided acoording to their wee* into Pancras,
north and mouth; Marylebons, east and west; Lem-
beth, north sad south. Them alterations would give
26 boroughs, with 44 members ; add to which the four
mugs= for the City, and four for the large care-
rEaTtperishes, the total would be 81 constituandee, with
apresentativee—• umber certainly not too large, con-
sider the =OM= population, the vast wealth, and the
varied I=weeM of the metropolis. Mr. Bit then proposed a
specific resolution for the adoption of the @theme by the com-
mittee, =doh, with a alight modification suggested by Mr.
Beal, was weed, and Mr. Bit was again complimented on
the labour he had devoted to the subject.
Oa the mellen of Mr. Hsu., rupported by Mr. Cox,
M.l'., it wee resolved—" That this committee, after •
careful molysle of the statistke of population, pro-
perty, inhabited hemsee, sad rateability in reference to the
existing metropolitan constituencies are prepared to
urge their claims to at least 30 additional members,
representing coostithencies subdivided in the manner pro-
posed. That besides such thirty additional members, this
committee is of opinion that the outlying metropolitan Ira
-
Ashes not at present Mantled is any =rough are entitled to
four representatives."
Upon the motion of Mr. WZSTEILTON, supported by Mr.
BONTEIIi, it was then resolved, "That • copy of the fore-
going resolutions be forwarded by the naretary to the Prime
Wonder and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, to Mr. John
Bright, M.P., and to Lord John Rowell, MP.; and that
the secretary be requested to apply to the Earl of Derby, soli.
citing an appointment for a deputation from the committee to
welt upon hie lordship,
i for the purpose of submittieg state-
ments and oonsiderations n support of the resolution'.'
The meeting was then adjourned.
