Sir G. LEWIS admitted that the population of Salford
was greater than that of any other borough returning one
member ; but Salford was in a peculiar position as being a
part of Manchester, and it was intended to give an additional
member to Lancashire. He must oppose the amendment..
This amendment was withdrawn, and the first clause was
agreed to.
Oa clause 3, which proposes the
Chelsea and Kensington,
Mr, KNIOHTLEY moved as an amendment to leave out
the words Chelsea and Kensington, on the ground that
these places were represented in the county of Middlesex.
He would have the appropriation of the seat for subsequent
discussion and consideration—whether to the rniversity
London, the Scotch universities, or the West Bidiag el
Yorkshire.
Sir G. C. LEWIS said the hon. gentleman bad made he
counter proposal so as to enable the committee to decide
between the proposition of the government and his own.
He would not say that this was an irregular way of putting
the questioo before the committee, but it was an unusual
one, and one that was hardly fair to Kensington and Chelsea.
because it enabled every member who preferred any other
distnbution et the seat to vote against the appropriation
(Hear, hear.) It only remained for him, thew
fororeP,mto.di.itate why they considered it • fair gropers] to glum
one of the four seats to the metropolis. This proposition
had been made in the last fewnform bills. It wee included
in the reform bill of last session. He did not allude to that
as any conclusive precedent—(derisive opposition cheers)--
because many gentlemen might vote for it as
part of a larger proposition when they coal
not do so as combined with a smaller proposal.
The grounds on which the proposal was supported were the
following—on account of the great magnitude and increase
of the metropolis it was fairly entitled to an additional
member. The population of the metropolis within the
limits of the Local Goveroment Act was in 1851 2,362,000.
According to the census just taken it was 2,803,000, allow-
ing an increase in the last ten years of not less than 440,000.
The entire population of Liverpool was 269,000; of Man-
chester, 243,M0 ; and of Birmingham, 112,000--(Cries of
"No, uo," from Mr. Disraeli). So that London during the
last ten years had added to itanumben a population equal to
Manchester and Birmingham put together. (Hear. hear.)
The committee ought also to consider that this addition of
evenbers M the metropolis in the ten years wee nearly equal
to the population of some cities which were capitals
of first magnitude. The population of Vienna was 4713,000, of
Barite 438,000, and of Madrid 475,000. (Cries of " Oh, oh.")
An boo. member said they had nothing to do with foreign
eanatrics. In strict sense that was so, but it was material
for the committee to consider that the population of London
within the last 10 years had increased by a number greater
than the population of European capitals of first-rate niag-
sande. With regard to the proposed borough, the parish
of Chelsea, according to the census of 1851, was 56,000, and
according to the last census 63,000. The parish of Reusing.
tau had increased in population during the 10 years from
44,000 t 070,000 ; so that the entire increase within that period
it the two parishes was from 100,000 to 133,000. He did
net think it was possible to show any other district is tie
kingdom which had increased in so great a ratio both in
population and wealth ; and looking to its connexion with
the metropolis, he comeidared it had strong claims to ow of
the vacant seats. Mean)
Mr. BENTINCK said the right hon. baronet had charged
his hoe, friend with not making any counter proposal, but
if he read the clause and the amendments, be would see
that he had made such a proposal. His hon. friend hit the
right nail on the head when he asked on what ground eon.
, (mated masses were to be entitled to the franchise, be-
cause that was the only point in the fn-in. In defending the
clause as it now stood, the right honourable ba-
ronet brought forward no argument except the
large Menem in the population. He dealt
with the question entirely as one of numbers. But the real
difficulty of all governments in dealing with the question
of reform was the injustice shown in the distribution of the
representative power of the country, and until they grappled
fairly and honestly with that difficulty they might in vain
attempt to obtain any solution of the question. The rural
districts were ',titled to a larger share in the represents-
tion, and if they gave additional members to the urban die.
tricts they would only increase the glaring injustice which
now existed. The metropolitan members possessed at pre-
sent, from their being generally in London, and other air.
cwnstaocies, treble the amount of influence and weight
of members representing other ooastitnencies, sad
they had therefore to be watched very closely.
Openly or covertly they frequently sought to avail them-
selves of the imperial pone for the benefit of their own
constituent., and it was difficult to resist those attempts.
(Laughter.) What would be the position of the house if
the present dangerous number of these members was in-
creased? If the Home Secretary was prepared to adhere to
the prise:Woof numbers, the rural districts of the country
were entitled to any seats which might hare to be distri-
buted. He hoped the committee would reject, by a large
majority, the principle in the bill.
Lord ENFIELD said the estimated rental of the two
parishes of Chelsea and Kensington was 657,820/., the
county assessment 544,1721., the property sod income
under schedule A 692,800/., u er schedule B 350,00tax01., ,
and under schedule D 342,413/. ; only 15 boroughs were
rated higher than Kennington and Christi, and out of 944
boroughs enfranchised, there was not ono in which the rate-
able value amounted to the half of what he had mentioned.
If therefore any district hail a claim to be :epreseuted it was
that of Kensington and Chelsea.
Mr. DISRAELI thought before the committee went to a
division, they ought to be satisfied as to the data On which
the government had founded their recommendation, and
eve to the important subject all the consideration which
both sides agreed it eminently deserved. The grounds
en which the Secretary of State for the Home Department
nomomended the proposition were twofold. In the first place
be showed them that it had already received the assent of
what might fairly be said to bo loth rides of the house.
He said that it was contained not only in the late reform
bill of the present government, but also in the bill intro.
toted by the government of Lord Derby. The letter ass.
Lion was however incorrect, the proposition not being in.
eluded in the bill of Lord Derby's government. The
ground on which the matured opinion of the present govern-
ment was founded was the greid increase of the population
of Kensington and Chelsea, as compared with the increase
of the population in the principal towns and cities of the
kingdom. The right hon. baronet gave the population
of Liverpool, Manchester, end Birtniughani those
great communitieswhose opinions had exercised so great an
influence on modern legislation, and on the policy of minis-
ter; but when he stated the population of Birmingham
to be 112,000, he (Mr. Disraeli) imaoned for the moment
that some strange mortality had affected the population of
the country ; but on reference to official documents, he
found that the actual population of Birmingham was
300,000/. (Hear, bear.) The right hoe. baronet also stated
that the population of Liverrool was 270,000, whereas the
parliamentary population of the borough amounted to
443,000. (Hear, hear.)
Sir G. C. LEWIS explained that two series of retiree
had been made, and the figures that he gaoled were atm-
reedy copied from the superio,eieleut-registraes retort.
Mr. DISRAELI had no doubt that Use figurer were ear
meetly copied from the paper they were copied from. They
might be the seine Imams. but not the same numbers. They
bad an important proposition regarding the repiaaniamin
of the people recommended by the government oneerlaia
statements founded on the relative population of the panda'
mentAry boroughs, and it was no 'ICUs! or explanation
to say that the right hon. gentleman was mulled by the male
minim in some other document which didaot refer to the print
in question, and that he should have offered to the Louse a
totally incorrect statement, announcing at the same time'
that the opinion at the government on the point in question
was founded on the statement which be rruide. (Bags
hear.) They were told. and he was ours the statement sit
tooiefied the boom that the population of Manchester wee
220,000, whereas he found from the authentic record that it
was 357,000. In all efllle be took the population of els
parliamentary borough. The nett boe, gentleman hod
answered the amendment by laying before the house Ilas
ground on which the tomerunlent.arrived at the concludes
they did. That ground was uasatisfsctory. It was sot
fact that the late government proposed that Chelsea and
Kensington should be formed into a parliamentary
and tbe isonclusios which the right hon. gentl4reti

filauves to 116, Inclusive, were put and agreed to.

Yesterday, in the Committees of the House of
Commons, the bill for the amalgamation of the Stockton
and Darlington, the South Durham and Lancashire Union,
end Eden Valley Railway Companies was thrown out, and
the committee subsequently proceeded with the considera-
tion of the bill of the West Hartlepool Harbour and Rail-
way fry running powers over other lines, the acquisition
of lands end buildings at West Hartlepool, and to give
powers with reference to steam vessels, and the management
of their docks and works. The cue for the Sherborne
Railway was closed in Mr. Cobbett's committee, but the
decision on it was deferred until to-day. The mae of the
Newcastle, Dement, and Wmx4sle Railway closed
with the opposition of the Stockton and Darlingt,
and landowners, and that of the competing line of
the North•Easteni Railway Company between Blaydon
and Cooside comes on to-day. The committee of which
Mr. Mowbray is chairman settled the bills of the Bishop
Mordent, Dunmow, and lintintree, Mid &stern and Great
Northern Junction,Colue Valley, and Halstead and Pastern
Counties Railway Bills. Continuous evidence was taken on
the Swansea and Heath sod Stourbridge Extension Railway
Bills. After a full fortnight's inquiry the bill for the gene-
ral municipal and other improvements of Birmingham was
passed in Sir Ferguson Davie's committee. In Lord Bodes-
dale's committee the bill of the Blyth and Tyne Railway,
for numerous short branches in the colliery district', at a
computed cost of '220,0001., was disposed of ; together with
the bill of the Uxbridge anti Rickmunsworth Railway, for a
seven mile line from the Uxbridge branch of the Great
Western .to!the Watford line ; the Limerick and Yoynea
Railway, for raising 66,1100/. for using steamers on the Shan-
non ; and the Alton, Alredord, and Winchester Railway.

Th. Eat of LEITRIM said that, in consequence of the
chalks., he hmii received from the noble ad learned lord
coo the seishash, be begged to give notice that os Thorsday
next Y shishl he a substantive motion. with • view of

to comusshste with sad receive an answer from Lord Chief
Juatlw liaralmas, who was sow discharging important duties
in leeks& b Thursday seat, or that the learned judge
sbeehl par soy in.tructions to say Mood on the subject.
The MITI of DoMOUGHIIIOII.E suggested that his noble
Mind should ha a later day.
Ifs Earl of LEITRIM said his only wish was to put a
slop to a grow abase. He bad no objection to name Mats-
ui* week.
Thar lordships adjourned at 10 minutes tog o'clock.

Sir G. LEWIS said that the Menem of the population of
Chelsea and Kensington since 1851 had been from 100,000
to 134,000. (Hear, hear.) Birkenhead, the largest of the
unrepresented tows', bad at the last census only 24,000 in-
habitants ,• Staleybridge, 20,000; Burnley, 20,800; and
Gravesend, 16,000; so that on statistical grounds be con-
sidered that he bad made quite a sufficient statement in
support of hie proposition. With regard to the error which
he was said to have committed, and which it was contended
had invalidated his argument, namely, that he had taken
the superintendent-registrar's districts instead of the par-
liamentary boroughs, it really made no difference. The
increase of the population ot Loudon in the ten years
bad been 440,000, which was equal to the population of a
very large town. The population of the parliamentary
borough of Liverpool was only 443,000 ; while that of
Manchester was ouli 338,000, which was considerably ISM
than the increment of the metropolis in the 10 years. He
had merely used these figures as illustrations.
Mr. BARROW (who ruse amidst loud cries of "Divide ")
said the right bon. gentleman the member for Quiiale had
stated that while the population of the towns had very greatly
increased that of the country districts had not Increased
by. any means in the same ratio. Might that not have '
arisen from the great neepondenince of borough members,
and she consequently better manner in which the house had
taken care of the intermit, of towns? (Great laughter.)
The proposal borough of Chelsea and Kensington had no
character but au urban one, as was shown by the fact that
Be Schedule D was almost a nonentity. It resulted, there-
fore, that the house was taking away the members from
four rural towns, and giving them to me se urban consti-
tuencies. (Hear, hear.)
The committee then divided:
Ave
Noes 275-100
The announcement was received with loud cheers by the
opposition.
Sir G. C. LEWIS moved that the Chairman report pro-
grew (Loaf clic., of " No, no.")
Mr. AYRTOS appealed to hon. gentlemen opposite, if
they were resolved to go on, to praised lii a spirit of fair-
nem and at least allow the subject to be ilia.useaL
Lord J. RUSSELL said the pest proposition on the
piper was that of his right lion. friend the member for
Cerlisls. There was also the proposition that Middleeex
ahouhl have an additional member, and likewise one
that instead of either, the Scotch universities should have
a member. He thought it would be very inconvenient to
diacuss these propositions at that late hour.
Mr. DISRAELI thought that the proposition of the go.
vernmeot a very reasonable one. One of the main
tons of the government bad just been rejected by ttreelcoMi-
mittee, and he thought it was only natural they should
require time to consider the position in which they stood
with regard to the measure. He would ask what day the
government intended to pismeed.
