the gratitude we feel for the confideziee you have .. 4 1

(Loud cheers.)
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER then rose
and was also very cordially received. He said—
My noble friend has expressed my views and feel-
ings so completely that it may appear mere surplus-
age to add a few words ; but I only do so lest I
should appear deficient in the feelingfeeling
yu have
gratitudeo
for the cxpr*sion ; of sympathy N
offered. The,e is no doubt that in the difficult and
trying circumstances in wl'ich
:the Government un-
dertook this g eat measure the sympathy mid sup-
port of their fellow countr.men are of inestimable
value. Lord Derby has touched upon the principal
features of the measure which, under his sanction,
has been offered for the consileration of Parliament.
We have had extraordinary accusations made against
that measure. Sometimus it is described as one which,
by its too limited character, is a mere mockay,
and yet the same individuals in another place
speak of it as of a very revolutionary character.
(Laughter.) But the truth is that it is a measure
which has no claim whatever to the merit or demerit
of being any very great change, because it is only a
revival of the ancient borough franchise of this
country, adapted to the larger circumstances of the
age in which we live, and presented to the country
free from those obsolete circumstances with which it
became invested in course of time. This was the
franchise of your fathers and forefathers, under
which this country greatly flourished. The merit
of that franchise is that it is of an essentially expan-
sive character. (Cheers.) Notwithstanding the
difficulties which .we have encountered, I believe
this measure will soon become the law of the land.
I am bound to say myself,although the difficulties
we have met, and which every new Government,
from the nature of things must meet, without the
support of a majority of the House of Commons—
that there is, in my opinion, on the part of the
majority of the members of the House, a spirit of
fairness with regard to this measure, and a determi-
nation to carry a satisfactory law into action,-not-
withstanding any party connexions which may have
originally trammelled them. There was no doubt
recently an effort of a faction to defeat the bill,
which I am glad to say the good sense of the House
of Commons frustrated, and which the spirit of the
country has, I-am sure, sanctioned. (Loud cheers.)
I have myself a lively conviction that there is a sin-
cere wish on the part of the house to carry this mea-
sure into effect, and I shall appeal to them with con-
fidence and cordiality. No doubt we shall receive a,
t ewr

andle t
when a party takes to letter-writing it is in diffi-
culties—(laughter)—and we had a remarkable
expression of opinion from a member from Leeda
in the paper this morning ; but I am sure we shall
not be disheartened by these ebullitions. (Cheers
and laughter.) I indulge a hope and confidenco in
the present House of Commons, and I am sure 1
am only speaking the feelings of my colleagues
when I say that no partial defeat will induce Lord
Derby to withhold his efforts to consummate the
great work he has undertaken, and that he will
not rest from his labours until we have a measure
which will conduce to the happiness of the people
and the greatness of the empire. (Loud and pro-
longed cheering.)
The deputations thanked Lord Derby and the
Chancellor of the Exchequr for the reception
accorded them, and wiithdrew. :

the name of these wretched purloiners from cheap and
