THE REFORM BILL.

- It is matter of great regret to every man who is in favour of the
Bill to obserie night after night lost, and little progress made in
.he Bill. 'Last night was a sad example of the delay, which, if
nuch longer tolerated, may endanger the Bill ; and it is matter
of great surprise to see Members who have supported the Bill and
ssho profess themselves promoters of Reform, aiding Anti_
Reformers in defeating the Bill. We admit that the practices in
Dublin were disgraceful as regarded the fabrication of votes, and
we will admit that some of the official men in Dublin may, in
'heir zeal to support the Reform candidates, have transgressed in
tS.eir canvass the strict rules of free elections; but when the
sffbrts of the Anti-Reformers are taken into consideration, .and
the almost unanimous call of the country to meet the appeal of
the King, we are not at all surprised at the zeal and active exer.
ions of every man who was friendly to Reform. We therefore
inarvel greatly that Mr. Robert Gordon, the Chairman of the Se-
lect Committee that declared the two sitting Members for Dublin
not duly elected, should, without instructions from the Com-
,nittee, have brought forward any question last night to impede
'he progress of the Bill for an entire night, and to throw dissen-
lion into the ranks of the Reformers. We are informed that
the Anti-Reformers were pleased beyond all measure at the
course adopted by Mr. Gordon, and to a man they made ita party
question, and voted against the Minister. We hope Mr. Gordon
has derived all the satisfaction he expected from his motion; but
we confess that the strongest Reformer might, to use Mr. O'Con.
net's words, have been satisfied with attacking, the vulture, by
proceeding with the Bill, instead of attempting to catch the fly.
We trust that Ministers will now see that any longer trifling
with the feelings of the country will not do, and that they will
meet every day at twelve o'clock, and, if that will not do, at ten
o'clock, until the Bill is carried. It is of no avail to say that
Committees could not, in that case, sit; we say that the whole
business of the country in the House of Commons is at a stand,
and that nothing can or will be attended to until the Reform Bill
-hall be passed ;—we therefore say, mess on the Bill, pass the
Bill, and then transact the other business.
After the two first resolutions of Government were agreed to by
the House, the Attorney-General moved the following' resolu-
tion. We cannot but think that it would have been better at
once to have moved the order of the day on Mr. Gordon's mo-
tion, and to have proceeded with the Reform Bill. The country
would then have seen with whom the delay lay :
" That the Law Officers of the Crown in Ireland be directed to
take immediate measures for the purpose of li:urging to justice
such persons as may have been guilty of bribing the voters'at the
last election." .
On which an amendment was proposed, to leave out the last
words of the question, " guilty of bribing the voters at the last
election," and to aaa, " concerned in these illegal and unconsti-
tutional practices;" and on the question tnat the words proposed
to be left out, stand part of the question, the House divided :
Ayes 224 for the Ministers.
Noes 147 against.
