condition of a nomination borough, which hitherto it had
never been. He would join his Hon. and Gallant Friend,
the Member for the borough, in dividing the Committee
against its disfranchisement.
Mr. A. TREVOR rose to enter his solemn and decided
protest against this universal devastation of boroughs.
(The lion. Member repeated this declaration several times,
amidst great snapping of fingers, and some tittering from
the side galleries.)
Mr. CRESSET PELHANI said a few words in favour
of this condemned borough. The course of spoliation
which the House was pursuing would terminate in the
ruin of the Constitution.

Sir J. M. DOYLE—If we go on in this way from
night to night during this hot weather, some of us making►
and others of us listening, to speeches, which have been
repeated over and over again, and almost without varia-
tion, during the course of the present session, I am sure
that it will terminate in the ruin of the constitution of ug
all.—(Hear, hear, and laughter.)
The question was then put and carried, that the boroughs
of Great Grimsby stand part of schedule B.
The CHAIRMAN was going to put the question on the
next borough, when several Members of the Opposition
raised the cry of " adjourn."
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER proposed
that the Committee should proceed that evening as fir as
Guildford.—(Cries of " No, adjourn.") If any gentle-
men were inclined to object to proceeding further, he eer-
tainly would not persist in his proposition. He thought,
however, that they might proceed to take one or two
boroughs, to which no opposition was expected, and that
afterwards the Chairman might report progress, and ask
leave to sit again to-morrow.—(Cries of "Adjourn.")
The CHAIRMAN then put the question of adjournment•
Colonel DAVIES imediately rose to oppose the ad'

journtnent at that hour. Though he knew that the gen-
tlemen opposite would disclaim all disposition to delay
unnecessarily the progress of this Bill, still he roust aiY
that if they persisted in pursuing the same career that
night which they had pursued previously, he should give
but very little credit to their disclaimer.—(Hear, hear.)
He must also tell the Members of his Majesty's Govern'
relent that if they allowed themselves to he beaten every
night on this question of adjournment, and if they allowed
gentlemen holding situations under them to make lovg
speeches in reply to arguments which had been advanced
and refuted till they had become as rotten as the borough'
which they were used to defend, they must not expect t°
escape the censure of the country.—(Cheers.) He WO
sorry to say that there was too great a disposition to
speechify on this Bill on the part of the Governmeut.---
The country felt this, and was desirous to see snore of
action and less oratory on the part of the Ministers.---
(Outcry.) He was not to be put down by clamour—be
was as independent as any of the Members opposite—(the,
Gallant Officer spoke from the Ministerial benches)—a"le"
possessed what they did not,-1 large constituency. i
therefore claimed, in their name and in his own, the right
to be heard on this subject. He would tell Ministers
fairly that if they did not wish to be considered as parties
to the delay of which the country was hourly complainirig,'
and if they did not wish to be denounced as lukewarm a"'
vocates of Reform, they must adopt a very different system
towards the opposition from that which they had hitherto
pursued.—(Cheers.)
Mr. CHOKER felt himself bound, in fairness to the
Noble Lord to state, that his Lordship had conducted liiu°
self on this occasion with that propriety of demeanour t°
Lis opponents which distinguished him upon all other a'
casions. He thought they ought not to proceed further
that night, as it would be inconvenient to break throng'
the arrangement which they had all tacitly agreed to;
Besides, he knew that several friends of his who wished °
take port in the discussion, had gone away, relying that
the arrangement to which he had alluded would he OW
fully observed by both parties.
Lord PORCHESTER prof-sted against the violence °f
language used by the Hon. and Gallant Member for W(i'r;
tester, and said such dictation as he had ventured to eine'
ought nut to be permitted for an instant.—(Cheers.)
Mr. PUSEY would have yielded to the suggestion °
the Chancellor of the Exchequer, anti would have PP;
ceeded with the schedule as far as Guildford hail it n°
been for an observation which had fallen from the 11°°;
and Gtflant Member for Worcester. That Hon. Merube
had rebuked the Chancellor of the Exchequer for alloWie‘,
the King's Attorney-General to make a speech of inn
than halt an hour's length in reply to the argument'
those who had gone before him.—( Hear.) Was that_
buke calculated to promote or to st.fle free discussion ? t
Sir R. INGLIS called upon the Hon. and Gall3°,.
Member for Worcester to state whether the allusion Which
he (Colonel Davies) had just made to Members noder
Government delivering long speeches, was not intended"
apply to the King's Attorney-General 2—( Hear.)
Colonel DAVIES—What is it to the lion. and Learns I,
Member for the University of Oxford whether I did net
the King's Attorney-General or not ? I protest
his right to put such a question either to me or any othif
Member. It I did mean the Attorney-General, I did;
I did not, what right has he to ask me whom I did nlo°o
Mr. SIBTHORPE said, that the lion. and Gall"it
Member for 'Worcester had charged him and his frienuo
with unnecessary delay. Now he charged the Hon• °id
Gallant Member with unnecessat y haste. The Hon. a
Gallant Member might rest assured that the country
would blame him, if he attempted to put down the .14!t
01;
Reformers at the very moment that they were prepittlep
to justify themselves against the attacks that had heo
made upon them. If the Hon. and Gallant Member she o,e
lecture from that time to Christmas, he would not Way
him (Mr. Sibthorpe) follow his advice, especially whil't
(Colonel Davies) was sitting on the Ministerial Belicht'

The CHAIRMAN then put the question that he al.°;hl
report progress. Many cried " No; divide, divide."
gallery was cleared for a division, but none, we belie°,
took place. On our return we found the CHastcgLi've

This proposition obtained the consent of the Comnlitte;
and the Chairman was ordered to report progress, 3"J

The other orders of the slay were then disposed of,
the House adjourned at Two o'clock in the naorning•

On Tuesday a numerous meeting of
visiting Magistrates of Horsernonger-lane gaol took P1.':14
in their room, in the above prison, for the pureewt
investigating a charge preferred by Mr. WALTE 801,0
the Rev. RoliEtor TAvLon, of attempting to stab, and 'iv
of clandestinely procuring spirituous liquor to be bOtit.iis
