THE REFORM BILL

The newspapers are more decided this morning (IYeti-
ne'sday) in the expression of their views.
The Daily News terms the Ministerial measure a crail
project.

- The Advertiser declaims against it as a preposteretls
and audacious measure.
frame
The Herald mildly insists that the bill has been
in an impartial spirit, and offers a judicious settlement 01
a tedious controversy. That the extreme Radical pal
should be disappointed is no more than might have been
expected. They desire not to reform revolution; and the
Herald thinks it is rather' remarkahle that Lord MA
Russell should have lent' them his influence. _

The Post says, the bill pretty accurtiiely—corresponds t°
what Mr. Disraeli promised the farmers that a Iteforra
Bill of his should be. It would, he told them, be made
subservient to a restoration of Conservative influence
the House of Commons. The Post, after objecting t°
some details, especially those in reference to freeholders
residing in boroughs, adds :--We are at a loss to under-
stand in what other manner such a bill is likely to
operate than to stimulate agitation for a new measure. a.
The Times hints that .no doubt Mr. Disraeli has lets
some of his work to bedcnie by the House, and particu-
larly by the diligent hands of his numerous antagonists'
Neither the House nor the nation could be expected to
assent all at once to, a sentimental scruple to disfran-
chisi4, one single borough. The Times supposes that
the bill will be at least read a second time. 1114
reformers who have gathered so often about Mr. Locke
King, or anyone who proposed any extension of the
franchise can scarcely oppose the second reading, unless
they think' it wiser to wait and agitate five or six years
or a better.

The Star describes the bill as a compromise of party
forces, instead of being at least an instalment of.popular
clainis. Its authors have evidently calculated on out-
riding by Parliamentary support public dissatisfaction.
