NEW BILLS.

Leave was given to bring in the following Bills:
On the motion of Mr. HAYTER, a Bill to repeal the
allowances in the purchase of stamps, and fur the re•
ceiving and accounting for the duties on gild and silver
plate, and to grant other allowances in lieu thereof.
On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EX-
CHEQUER, a Bill further to amend an Act of the
10th year of her present Majesty, for rendering valid
certain proceedings for the Relief of Distress in Ireland,
by employment of the labouring poor, and to indemnify
those who have acted in such proceedings. Also, Bill
to amend an Act of the 10th year of her Majesty, inti-
tuled, " An Act to facilitate the Improvement of Landed
Property in Ireland."
On the motion of Sir W. SOMERVILLE, a Bill to
continue an Act of the sth and 6th years of her present
Majesty for amending the law relative to private lunatic
asylums in Ireland.
MINES AND COLLIERIES BILL.

Mr. WYLD moved the second reading of this Bill.
Year after year the loss of life in collieries was increas-
ing, and this year it had increased 35 per cent. over
the previous year, and his object in proposing this Bill
was to provide a remedy for this evil by a proper and
efficient system of inspection.
Sir G. GREY suggested that legislation should be
postponed until the Committee now sitting of the House
of Lords on the subject, and the Commission appointed
by the Government, should have reported. He did not
desire to go into the meritslof the Bill, but he was not
prepared to assent to the appointment of a chief inspec-
tor in London, and a number of inspectors in the coun-
try, to be paid for by a rate of 3d. in the pound. He
believed the understanding on a former day was, that the
Bill should be postponed until the inquiries referred to
had concluded. If the Hon. Gentleman persisted in
pressing the second reading, he should feel it his duty
to move that it be read a second time that day three
months.

Mr. AGLIONBY supported the Bill.
Mr. BERNAL opposed it. He had a sincere desire
to effect the object in view, but he had full confidence
that the Right Hon. Gentleman the Home Secretary
would pay due attention to the subject.
Mr. DUNCAN requested Mr. Wyld to withdraw the
Bill.

Strangers withdrew, but the Bill was negatived with-
out a division.

L! reply to Mr. HENLEY,

Mr. LABOUCHERE said he could not at present fix
the day for the second reading of the Railway Audit
Bill, but that he would do so on Thursday.
The House went into Committee on the

POOR RELIEF (CITIES AND BOROUGHS) BILL,
The several clauses of which were agreed to.

BOROUGHS RELIEF BiLL.
This Bill passed through Committee.

TRUSTEES RELIEF BILL.
This Bill alO passed through Committee.
SHERIFFS (WESTMORELAND) BILL.

GENERAL EDUCATION AND EX.

TENSION OF THE FRANCHISE.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sts,—ln order to give the greatest impetus possible
to the spread of voluntary education among the
poorer classes, let the test of qualification for exer-
cising the elective franchise be an educational one and
not a property one; or, in other words, "give the vote
to a man because he is a man, not because he has
purchased some earth or some bricks and mortar."
It will be admitted by all that an educated man is
better qualified to exercise the elective franchise than
an uneducated man, but the difficulty is, if education
is to be the test, where to draw the line of demarca-
tion between the one and the other. To remove this
difficulty, let every man (not being a pauper nor con-
victed of crime) who can solve correctly rule of three
questions in arithmetic have a vote. Thus the line
would be clearly defined, the principle of universal
suffrage in its only healthy aspect would be adopted,
and the vote given to a man because he is a man.
In going through this test he would show his ca-
pability to read, write, and use his reasoniDl
facul-
ties, all of which must certainly be deemeddang el which,
qullifications for an independent voter, a
being within the reach of the poor as welnlassthneerich,
would not, in that respect, be liable to the same
ob-
jection as a property qualification.
Now, to show that this qualification would bring in
a more intelligent class of voters than we have at
present, I may venture to assert that one-half of the
present voters, if tried by this teat to-morrow, would
ba struck off the register;
th
be fluitutoaseanveee of the
them from being
and to e ' disfranchised,property

qualification remain during the lives of the present
voters, I would suggest that thee• should all remain
on the register during the remainder of their lives,
but that all new candidates for the elective franchise
should be examined by the rule-of-three test, and then
that they, like the old voters, when once on the
register, should remain there for life.
The suffrage would thus be gradually and safely
extended as education became more widely diffused,
the greatest and best portion of the working classes
would be satisfied, and what is more important still, a
most powerful impetus would be given to the poor to
use every endeavour to get themselves and their chil-
dren educated by every means in their power, as it
would then soon be felt to bo a disgrace to be excluded
from the franchise, the principal excluding causes
being ignorance and crime.

France is a sufficient warning to make us pause
before we adopt universal suffrage without universal
education ; and unlimited household suffrage would, I
think, be little better, as it would not only bring in
many uneducated men, but it would shut out num-
bers who are intelligent and well educated, but who
happen not to be householders.
If you can at any time spare room for this commu-
nication i❑ your columns, as one of the working
classes I shall feel obliged, as I am anxious that their
condition should be improved, and 1 think that a
judicious extension of the franchise ought to be the
first important step in that direction.
I am, Sir, yours obediently,
WM. WRIGHTSON.
Thorne, Yorkshire, July 9, 1849.

TO THE SECRETARY OF THE
METROPOLITAN REFORM ASSOCIATION.
Sir,—Ou Monday night the principal debate was on
the Scotch Marriages Bill. The ostensible object is to
take steps for assimilating the Scottish law of marriage
to the English. But the substantial object is to deprive
Englishmen and Irishmen of the liberty arising out of
the ancient Scottish institution of Gretna Green. It
may appear ridiculous, but this is all there is in it. It
is an attempt to draw closer the laws for what Addison
or Steele in their day called " the preservation of the
female game."
Nobody doubts that game-preservers in general are a
hot-headed and incapable race, exceedingly likely to be
found overshooting their own mark, and cutting the
throat of their own interest. And there is no appearance
of the preservers of the female game making any
exception to the rule. Let the case be fairly examined,
and sec what it is that is contended fur. A wealthy
Englishman, a squire of broad acres, sees danger in any
loophole for relaxation of the laws by which he has se-
cured certain powers over the marriage of his descend-
ants. Boys do not often insist on juvenile marriage;
they prefer their liberty. It is his girls for whom
he fears ; and the idea which haunts him is, that they
will be led into marriage by some man whose acres or
whose position in society shall not be corn spondent to
his own. There shall be no attempt to deny the
evil ; undeniably it is what a man may justifiably
endeavour to resist. But is he taking the way
to diminish the danger? Suppose the case of such
an untoward event disturbing the drawing .room
tranquillity of a well-regulated family. A daughter,
unable to resist the attentions of " her heavy dragoon,"
has consented to marry Lieutenant Spanker who so
much distinguished himself in the last steeple-chase,
without waiting for legal age or parents' consent.
' And the lieutenant of her choice shall neither
be a Sir Charles Grandison nor a reprobate, but what
is commoner than either, a man who would not du
a wrong gratuitously, and yet not above the lia-
bility of yielding to temptation if forced upon him.
He carries off the daughter; and under the existing
state of things, the next post but one brings a penitent
letter from the two whom a Gretna Green marriage has
made one, hoping forgiveness, and the military leader in
particular coveting nothing so muck as to be asked to
take wine by his new governor under the governor's own
mahogany.
But suppose the squire to have carried the alteration
in the law, the literary corumunications then take a
very ditLrent turn. Instead of the swift advertisement
that nothing ie wanted but forgiveness, in a long week
cornea a letter, transmitted through the porter of the
Junior United Service and suggesting an answer through
the same irreproachable functionary, stating the ear-
nest desire of the military partisan to have
immediately marri d Miss --, but regretting that
he found it to be impossible. Without the smallest wish
of his own, he finds he must beep her fir a furinight,
which is the shortest time within which the law will
give his conscience ease; and in the meantime he ex-
presses an anxiety to know what the aff ctionate parent
hill do towards encouraging him in the good resolutions
he is treasuring for the concluiion of that period. He
assures him his daughter is well; and thinks she finds
the country agreeable.
Is the condition of this respectable family mended, or
is it not?
The Bill was so near being thrown out (being saved
only by a majority of 73 against GS), that there is every
probability of its being given up. But nominally it
stands for discussion again on Thursday.
On Tuesday the motion for a Committee on the Irish
Church occupied the whole Of the night. If something;
is not done, what is to be the result when fifty thou-
sand Americans are threatening Windsor Castle? The
debate, with few exceptions, was conducted with great mo-
deration, an index of approaching action on the subject.
And this exp-ctation was encouraged by a division of
103 in support of the Committee, to 170 against it.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
AN OLD REFORMER.

ROYAL THAMES REGATTA.
FIRST DAY.

The great national aquatic meeting at Putney, which
has been the all engrossing topic of conversation for
some time past, commenced yesterday, and was more
than usually attractive. Although this event has for a
considerable period formed the chief feature of the season
there seems to be an opinion afloat that its existence is
near its close, the principal causes assigned for its discon-
tinuance being the gradual decline of the funds, and the
difficulty of finding persons willing to incur th€ trouble
and responsibility necessary to produce a regatta of this
" Leviathan " character, with anything like a proper
degree of spirit. As similar rumours have been previ-
ously rife with respect to the discontinuance of this aquatic
festival,many persons are sanguine enough to look forward
to our next year, but others, well acquainted with river
sports, entertain an opinion that, under the direction of
the Leander Club, who were mainly instrumental in es•
tablishing this regatta, in 1843, and upon whom touch of
the responsibility has fallen, a series of periedical races
during the summer will be produced. Be
that as it may, we deeply regret that
there should be even a tumour of its discon-
tinuance—it is purely a British pastime, and ought to he
' supported by all who value our national sports, and it
cannot be said that the example of royalty is wanting,
as the name of Prince Albert is amongst the most liberal
of i s snpp.)rt r.. Should the present lion. Sec. (Mr.
Fells), one of the Leander Club, who has, for upwards
of three years, discharged the onerous duty most effi-
ciently, retire, the interests of the regatta, there can be
n,) doubt, will be most seriously fainted, but it is to he
hoped that he may be induced to continue his valuable
services.

The weatht r was extremely flue, and the company by
far exceeded in numbers the assemblage of the last two
or three years; indeed, since the establishment of Ihe
regatta, we may safely say tint we never saw a greater
Dumber of boats afloat, while Putney and Hammersmith
Bridges, and every other place, from which a view could
b? obtained of the rowing, including the van extent of
towing-path, was crowded with anxious spectators, and
the river and shores presented a coup ehril of the most
animated description.
There were eleven races upon the card, presenting the
variety of from fours down to sculls. The sports com-
menced at half-past three, and continued up to nearly
eight in the ovoning; the regulations throughout were
admirable, and reflect the utmost credit upon the Sere-
tary
and Committee.

This was the great event of the day. In this race,
open to all the world, there had been a union between
the Thames and the Tyne, the St. Agnes's crew consist-
ing of the champions of the two rivers and their
brothers; and opposed to them were a crew of London
watermen, who had last year, owing to an unfortunate
circumstance, been deprived of the opportunity
of testing the claim of superiority, and who
now again stood forth, a crew from Durham,
and two others. The Claspers and Coombeses are
known as opponents against each other in a pair-oar
wager about two years ago, when the Coombeses were
victorious victorious over their two coadjutors of yesterday It

It was a fair start; after which Red began to draw a
head, and off the committee-barge had cleared them-
selves. The other two made a very close race for some
distance, when Pink took the second place. The Never•

two lengths behind the second; the other nowhere.
Grand Heat.
The beautiful style exhibited in the St. Agnes, not-
withstanding the capital work exhibited in the Never-
mind-it, made the former the favourite at slight odds,
and it was justly considered from what had been wit-
nessed that the race would be entirely between :these
two. The assemblage at this time amounted to many
thousand,, who exhibited the utmost anxiety to see the
decision.
