geatlemass (Mr. M. 0th...) who proposed the committee
that it was Rot one that would give satisfectin or carry
weight with it. His main object la rising wee to suggest to
the right hon. gentleman whether it would sot be far
better, instead of taking divisions as to the propriety of re-
taining one nano or stibstitatg another, to withdraw the
list, and substitutw a hotter one.

Hr. M. GIBSON said that his object wee to sea.
sti•ute a fair and impartial eosawittos; and he had succeeded
in funning what he considered to be a fair and impartial one.
He, therefore, maw no reason why he should withdrew the
list of names that he had pproro d. They had on the row
wilta sonaty members, of quarter serious, mem-
ben of the government, mad representatives of various parrs
of the kingdom. He only regretted the loss of 811 J.
Graham, who would not be able to attend, and be would
now more that Mr. Cobden's nem be substituted in plea
of his.

Mr. NEWDEGATE t►ought that the right hon. gentle-
men would do much bettor be consulted the wishes of the
house on this =Mb,.

On the name of Mr. Reethaw being proposed to sit u a
member of the committee,
Maj it BERESFORD said that he believed that he spoke
the sentiments of • large ►ody of the count:, gentlemen
when hs said, that he considered that this would
be as unfair committee to sit on suc► a question. The
committee was an unfair one in every way, and th. ir
opinions were too mach on one side. He was determined
to divide the house on the subject, and though he wu
certain that the committee would be agreed to as propeeed
by the right hoe. gentleman, he knew that it was a commit-
tee to whole report the country would pay no attention.
Mr. SPOONER said, that is consequence of the import-
ance et this question, and the fewness of the members pre-
sent, he would move the adjournment of the debate.
After a few words from Mr. HatwooD, in objection to
the adjournment,
Mr. AOLION BY said that he never saw a more extra.
ordinary step than that which had been just taken. The
hon. gentleman had every right to bring forward opposition
on every occasion that he thought tit ; but he thought it
extraordinary that he should commence by complaining that
there was a very small attendance of his own friends.
Mr. HUME expressed • hope that the hon. member for
Warwickshire would not press his motion for an adjourn.
meat.

Major BERESFORD objected that then should bs on
the comtai•tee tw, mem►en from Sussex.

Mr. FREWSN mid teat he believed that the right boa.
gen lamas bad takes great pains in selecting a committee
to sit on this subject, and that it was with great
diSculty that he got memben who would act
as it. He however succeeded is getting seven memben
from one side of the house, and seven from lie other. He
himself was asked to attend on it, and he complied, saying
that he would do his best. He was sore that the committee
would frame a bill which would snit the circumstancesof the
different counties.

Mr. FOX. MAULS said that he hoped that the hos. gen.
Seeman opposite would not press his mottos for an adjourn-
ment. Hs thought that there were a sufficient number of
members present to debate the question. He thought that
it would be far better toe than to discuss the question bef.re
them ae to the constitution of the Committee. Hs hoped
that they would not renew the debate on the principle of
the bell. Us would now ask the hon. gentleman the mem-
ber for Warwickshire, to withdraw his motion.
Sir J. FAKING MN said that he felt that the change
which was intended to be made should not be left in the
hands of private members of parliament, but should be
dealt with by the government. He protested against the
committee as at present constituted, but at the same time he
would ask his friend the member for Warwickshire to
adopt the suggestion of the right hon. gentleman eppmite.
Captain PECHELL said it would highly satisfactory
to his constituents that the house had chosen the hon. mem-
ber for East Sumea. His constitu.nts had the greatest
confidence in that hon. gentleman for the course he had
taken, aad felt fully satisfied that his being planed on the
committee would eslieve Brighton from the enormous sums
which were paid ►y the ratepayers.
Mr. SPOONER had no objection to withdraw his motion
for an adjournment of the debate.
The amendment having been withdrawn, the committee
divided.
