the Bill for Reform. The lion. Member said he fully
concurred in the prayer of the petitioners.

praying that .the House would pass an efficient Bill for a
Reform in the representation of the people.
Lord FRANCIS OSBORNE presented several peti-
tions from Cambridgeshire against negro slavery.
Mr. WESTERN said he had to present a petition frOm
the county of Essex, for Parliamentary Rerortn. The peti-
tion Was agreed to at a meeting regularly convened by the
Sheriff, and he (Mr. IV.) was of opinion that whatever
means might be made use of to get up petitions against it,
the sense of the people of England were decidedly in favour
of the measure. He was sorry to hear the Noble Lord
agree to make some alterations in the Bill. What he
wished for was, the Bill—the whole Bill, and nothing
but the Bill.--(Hear.)—He hoped Alernliers w..uld not
consent to make any, even the least alteration.—(Hear.)
Mr. TYRELL must bear witness to the unanimity of
sentiment that prevailed at the meeting in favour of Re-
fol m. Whatever opinions he might entertain
,towards
this Reform Bill, or he might say, from what passed last
night, this reformed Reform Bill—(Hear)—he should re-
frain from expressing until another opportunity.
Mr. WELLESLEY said he had never tried to influence
any one of his tenantry to take a part in favour of Reform
or against it. The feeling of the county of Essex had
been most unequivocally expressed in favour of this great
public measure. He bad already delivered his own opi-
nions on the subject, and trusted most sincerely to see the
Bill passed.
Mr. STANLEY said, he very much regretted that the
Paymaster of the Forces was not then present, as it ap-
peared from what he stated in the House last night, that
much misconception prevailed both in- the Hous.! and out
of it.—(Hear, hear.) He (Mr. Stanley) could positively
affirm, that it was not the intention of Ministers to de-
viate from a single principle of the Bill.—(Hear, hear.)
He would repeat, that it was not the intention of Ministers
to deviate from a single principle of the measure as at that
laid down.—(Hear.) It was a great misconception to
suppose that it was not the intention of Ministers to dis-
franChise boroughs 'not containing a certain population.
—( Hear, hear.) Not one of those boroughs whose popu-
lation did not extend to a certain amount would escape the
sentence of disfranchisement, or being in part disfranchised.
—(Hear, hear.) But all that was intended by his Noble
Friend was, that if it was the decided opinion of the House
that the number of its Members ought to be more than
those proposed by the Bill, such an augmentation would
not be taken from those boroughs pr,posed to be disfran-
chised, but from large and populous towns now unrepre-
sented.--( Heard
Sir E. B. SUGDEN said that the principle of the
measure was to be gathered from its details, and as the
Hon. Member (Mr. Stanley) had said if the Members of
that House were not to be decreased, that the Govern.
ment would take care not to restore say. of the
boroughs that were to be disfranchised, as ori-
ginally proposed, but would give these additional
Members to other great and populous towns, the prin-
ciple would be essentially changed. It was a new Bill to
be considered in its own details.

Mr. CAMPBELL said the principle of the Bill remained
untouched. Was the principle of the measure to reduce the
number of the House of Commons ? No ; it was to put
an end to the nomination of Members of the House—to
put an' end to rotten boroughs—to put an end.ter corrup-
tion—and that prineiple•icniainedlontoueired by any new
explariatione. According to the statements of the Noble
Paymaster, Schedules A. and B. remained entire, and if they
remained . entire, • the "principle of the measure was not
affected.—(Hear, hear, heat.) With regard to what had
been said about birth ,and servitude, the Noble Pay•
master had not said that they were permanently to be
retained, but that there was ground for an exception in
case of those who had acquired a title to the freedom of
the several corporations to which they belonged, and in
virtue. of :which during their lives they were
entitled to a share in the elective . franchise. With regard
to the popularity of the measure, although he might not
have had the experience of the Hon. Member for Preston, he
had yet visited various counties in England, and according to
his experience, persons of all ranks, the high and the low,
the rich and the poor, all exclaimed in fuvour of the Bill.
In the county of Shfford there was a meeting called by
a requisition, at the head of which were the names of ten
Peers, and which was attended not only by persons
of great opulence and, distinction, but also of the lowest
orders, who hailed the prospect of having speedily restored
to them what they justly esteemed the birthright of every
Englishman--a voice in the representation of their country.
Mr. O'CONNELL said the Hon. Member for Wey-
month had laboured much to show that the principle of
the Reform Bill .had been very much infringed and
altered. The principle of the Bill was not as that
Hon. Member had endeavoured to show, to create a
separation between the landed and . the manufacturing
interests; but of putting an end to the nomination to
boroughs, and to the entire system of odious traffic in
their purchase and sale. Now bow was this to be carried
into effect, if not by mcertaining.population ? The Noble
Paymaster of the Forces had proceeded upon the returns
of 1821. That was the only matter of detail, and the
only alteration now proposed was by reference to later
documents, to vary from that scale, when it was found
to be incorrect. "The principle of the Bill was to get rid
of, not 'the distinction between the manufacturing and
landed interests, but of the notorious system of the manu-
facturing of Members of that House, and of Members to the

other House as well, of getling Peerages by means of re
turns to that House—of getting rid of expences for elec-
tions out of the proceeds of future elections. There had
been men, and there were now men to lie found, who bed
trafficked for Peerages in this way, but that traffic would be
put an end to for ever by the operation of the Reform Bill.
It was on this account that there had bt4n lrritatiNt in
some places on the subject, .•because the Bill went to de-
stroy for ever the trade in boroughs, and leave men to
their own resources for the attainmentot station and dignity.
lie regretted to hear what the Honourable Member
for Preston had said in the House last night, but.
he could not believe that those Of whom he spoke
were the geniiins reformers of Englanch—CCheerai) The
gentine reformerS of Engdmil wire all deCidedly in favour
of this Bill. They knew, if the Bill pii6ed, pOpular men of
pepu'ar principle', and with disinterested views, Would he
likely to be returned to that House—men who would
ameliorate what wanted amelioration, but, at the same time
pre,erve as most sacretl the right of that House to
correct whatever it might observe to be necessary, not only
in that House—not only in oilier places, but in the House
of Lords, where it was necessary.
Lord VALLETORT could not be brought to believe
that the principle of the Bill would be advantageous to
the people of England. He had understood, from what
the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite bad stated, that
the sixty-twO Members, which it was proposed to reduce
the number, were to be added to towns, and none to
be given to counties.

Mr. STANLEY said, what lie meant to have stated
was that no Moab r should he given to those boroughs
that were originally intended to be disfranchised, and that
the Members would be given to large and respectable bodies
of constituents. -
Mr. NORTH wished to know, as the Bill was to
undergo great inedifieation, whether those modifications,.
or similar modifications, were afterwards to be extended to
the Scotch and Irish Bills, for it was only caleulated to
deceive the House to attempt to say that the principle of
all the Bills was not alike.
Mr. STANLEY said, that the modifications of the
Enlists Bill did not at all affect its principle, and could
have nothing to do with the other Bills. • '
Mr. HUNT said that the Hon. Me-tuber for Weymouth
quet-d him as a good authority on the present occa-
sion ; it was only about a week ago that the same Ho-
nourable Member had told the House that lie was no
authority at all, therefote he (Mr. II.) could not feel much
flattered by Mm compliment—(Laughter.) With regard
to what he had said last night, he was fully per-
suaded that he had then said nothing but what
was correct, and what he was prepared to substantiate.
He did not go into facts. • An Hon. and-Learned Member
opposite (Mr. Campbell) said -he had been travelling
about in various parts of the country, and had collected
what he considered to be the correct feeling of the people,
and that that feeling was in favour of the measure. He
(Mr. H.) thought the information he had collected quite
as much to he depended upon. He had travelled through
Staffordshire, Warwickshire, and also Lancashire, on' an
invitation to meet great bodies of his constituents, and
from them he had collected the information upon 'which
he had proceeded. He had this day received • from
his constituents a confirmation of what he stated yester-
day—that they had held a meeting since he was there, at
which they had agreed to a petition, praying, as they had
prayed, for an extension of the suffrage—a suffrage to al)
such as they enjoyed themselves-and -that
.was
universal suffrage in the extreme He was sorry ,ati
Honourable Member (Mr. O'Connell) should have
felt hurt at what he had said.—(Hear, hear.)—
He had often felt hurt to hear him speak.—(Laughter,)
And as to what had be en said about bartering for seats
in that House, on his side of the House, he had.
heard as much said about such conduct on the other
side of the House. When he was among his constituents
the first question he put to them was, whether they con-
sidered the Bill brought forward as likely to benefit
them? They said " No." The next question was, whether
they were satisfied—they not enjoying the right' of
voting in the return of Members for Parliamento
have that right delegated to those who paid.ten pounds
—and their answer was, decidedly not--those were
the very last persons whom they should wish 'to have to
choose representatives for them; they would rather have
persons in considerably higher an I more elevated stations ;
not boroughmongers, borough proprietors, or shopkeepers,
but persons of an entirely different character. As for
himself, he hoped he should always be allowed to
state what he considered to be right in that
House, because he " would rather be • a dog,. and
bay the moon," than till a seat there,- 'and not
state what he conscientiously believed to be the
truth. Every man who had lived in Preston, if
he ever slept in a hay-loft, hail a right to vote for
the return of a Member of Parliament, and they a,
wished the same universal suffrage 'to'be extended to MI.
deeply did he regret to find'that the Hon. Member fair
Waterford was so altered in 'his language--that Meats,
her who was returned on the express understanding
that he would advocate universal stiffiag4 and vote
by ballot. For his own part, if he . were about
to suffer on a scaffold, the last , thing he would
call for would be universal , suffrage and vote by
ballot. As' for the Honourable Member for Worcester
saying he (Mr. H.) was the worst enemy Reform hall—
he (Mr. Hunt) believed he was the worst enemy to that
sort of Reform that would satisfy the Hon. Member.
General GAS COYNE considered it absolutely necessary
that the House should distinctly know, before the motion
was made for going into a Committee,. what was to be
done with the number of Members who, by the preamble
of this Bill, were to be disfranchised. Fur his own park
he really did nut understand it.
Lord ALTHORP was not in the House when the •
Noble Lord who had brought forward thi's Measure made.
some observations upon the point raised by the Gallant ,
General. lie had no hesitation to state what the feeling
of the Government was upon it. On looking at the dif-
ferent schedules, and also at the different town, Minis- ,
ters had found that, consistently with the rule they
had laid down for theMselves some additions to the
numbers they had proposed would necessarily have to
be made. They did not intend to depart :in
the slightest degree from the principle of the Bill ;
but owing to the discovering little inaccuracies,
they found that they should have to increase the
number of Members to some little extent, though nothing
like that of 62. They had never considered the num-
hers an essential part of the Bill, though they were
determined, if they could, to carry the . proposition: of
reducing the numbers. Supposing, however, ft should
turn out to be the opinion• of the Honse that the
Members should not he diminished, undoubtedly his, Ma- •
jesty's Ministers would not think that so great an in-
road on the principle of the Bill as to cause them
to throw it up, but they should be prepared to submit
to the House such populous towns as in their judgment
ought to have the return of those Members given to
them. With respect to the rotten boroughs intended to
lie disfranchised, they woul.l think it an entire dereliction
of the principle•of the Bill, if any one Member should be
allowed to be returned from them, were from nomination
boroughs.
