SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS

TIMES.—Lord Halifax met last night with a de-
served defeat. His proposed Resolution on going
into Committee, declaring the inadequacy of the
scheme of Redistribution contained in the Reform
Bill and the propriety of extending it, was rejected
by 100 to 59 votes. No intimation of opinion could
be more decisive, and it must be observed that it
was based solely on the demerits of Lord Halifax's
motion. There was literally no argument whatever
against it. Lord Malmesbury, who in the enforced
absence of Lord Derby, represents the Government
in the House of Lords, rose to answer Lord Halifax,
aid he thought it convenient to reply to Lord Car-
narvon's and the Duke of Argyll's criticisms on the
consistency of the Ministry. He was pathetic
iu repudiating the suggestion that he was an "orga-
nised hypocrite ;" but as to all Lord Halifax had

urged, Lord Malmesbury passed it by with the ob-
servation that we were near the end of July, and
great respect was due to the House of Commons.
This method of parrying an assault might not have
succeeded on other occasions, but no reply whatever
' was needed to Lord Halifax. His arguments were
' unanswerable, but his conclusions were unworthy
of arn^PtanCe. It is trno—no one "in deny it—
that the Redistribution scheme of the bill is inade-
quate ; it is true—no one can deny it—that it
is desirable it should be extended ; but the for-
mal expression of these abstract truths, point-
ing to no definite line of action, indicating no
particular form of extension, was an act of self-
' stultification from which the House of Lords very
properly recoiled, and the rejection of Lord Hali-
fax's resolution was due at once to their good sense
and their sincerity. It is much to be regretted that
at a later period of the evening the same prudence
was not exhibited. Lord Cairns persuaded the
Lords to raise the qualification of the Lodger Fran-
chise from £lO to £l5. Lord Malmesbury, who
had so strenuously deprecated any difference of
opinion between the two Houses on the question of
Redistribution, assented to the alteration as a com-
promise, because in the Bill of 1859 a vote was
offered to the tenant, not of unfurnished lodgings
worth £lO a year, but of furnished lodgings worth
£2O. This decision, and the subsequent rejection
of the clause reducing the Copyhold and Leasehold
Property Franchises in counties, exhibit such a
spirit of elaborate trifling with the subject of Re-
form as to make the best friends of the Lords ap-
prehensive as to the wisdom of their future treat-
ment of the bill. It is pleasant to turn to the earlier
part of the evening. We hope the Government
having vindicated their honour will take the ques-
tion of Redistribution seriously in hand. Lord Hali-
fax and his Resolution are removed out of their way.
In spite of all his ingenuity—and he displayed
an unexpected power of manipulating his argu-
ments—be could not overcome the essential vice of
his proposal. Its abstract and unpractical character
was apparent in every turn of his speech. It was
plainly impossible that he should invite the Lords
to agree to his resolution without hinting at some
suggestions for carrying it into force, and the dex-
terity with which he contrived to refer to several
methods of Redistribution without pledging himself
to any was admirable. He pillaged freely--we are
afraid no other term can adequately describe his
method--from Mr. Laing and Lord Grey, and re-
ferred occasionally to the bills of 1854 and 1866.
He called attention, as was inevitable, to the insig-
nificant character of the smallest boroughs ;anu
remarked that they might be grouped, but hesa.o,
him-
self would not commit himself to any Pr°P9ir
grouping ; or they might be disfranchised, thoughe'ate dis-
franchisement must decline to be supposed to
franchisement ; or there might be a thirda dvom_reot
treatment, although he must be excused
efxistence
scribing or even pledging himself tno, h
on the repre-
of such a third method.

sopby of history, and it must be admitted that Lord
Halifax and his resolution do in some sort excuse it.
But we have done with both ; Lord Halifax retires
discomfited fiom his attempt, and now that his in-
genuity and Lord De Grey's fluent commonplace
have both proved ineffectual for any purpose, we
invite the Government once more "to dish the
Whigs." Let them take Redistribution in hand.
It was, in fact, admitted by Lord Malmesbury last
night that the present scheme is inadequate and a
makeshift, since he dwelt upon the advanced period
of the Session and the supposed compromise
in the house of Commons as the sole
reasons against enlarging it. These considerations
would at once become of no weight whatever if
the Government desired to make their bill per-
fect. The House of Commons has assented to the
present scheme • but every one who followed the
debates in the 'Lower House, and watched the
growth of opinion in it, is well aware that the
Commons would accept with satisfaction such an
extension of the scheme as would give it the pro-
mise of permanence. There can be no doubt about
the temper of the House of Commons, nor need any

and when we contrast this argument with
rea-
sons for amending the scheme of Redistribution ad-
vanced from all quarters of the House we muosnt
how overwhelming is the balance in favourof "exten-
sion. The disparity between the representative
of the smallest boroughs and the largest,
anomalous anomalous now, must be aggravated by the adop-
tion of household suffrage, while the unrepresented
boroughs which were selected by the Government
in the first and second editions of their bill for en_
franchisement, but afterwards relegated to obscuri'zy,
having had the privilege of representation held out to
them, must become impatient and clamorous for a
share in Parliamentary honours. Above all, the prin-
eiple of numbers, so formally approved in every clause
of the bill, cannot, as Lord Caruarvon pointed out,
ceased to stimulate agitation. Boroughs have been
deprived of one of two representatives on account of
inadequacy of numbers; boroughs have received a
third member on account of their numbers ; counties
have been subdivided, and new boroughs have been.
called into existence for a similar reason. The process
thus sanctioned cannot be arrested as long as flagrant
anomalies remain. It is incumbent on the Ministry
to recognise this truth, and to regulate in time the
forces they cannot overcome. They have an oppor-
tunity of doing all about which the ex-officials who
sit opposite to theM talk, and of: displaying a degree
of foresight of which too few of their antagonists
show any sign. The mischievous alteration of the
Lodger Franchise has damped our hopes, but we
appeal to the calmer reason of the Ministry. Lord
Halifax and Lord De Grey both took occasion las.h
night to maintain the usefulness of small constitu-
encies at the very time that their prime arguments
led them to the conclusion that small constituencies
must be extinguished, and they carefully abstained
from indicating any method of preserving theadvan-
tages they now secure in the inevitable event of their
extinction. If the Government be content to let the
redistribution question be played with by their rivals
as the franchise has been, the result must be a whole-
sale disfranchisement of small boroughs without any
compensating improvements in our representative
system. There is a better alternative before them.
Let them follow the precedents shown in the con-
duct of the bill in the House of Commons. Let
them defer to the manifest sentiment of the Lords.
We do not speak of hereditary or official opponents.
Lord Lifford and Lord Romney, the Duke of Cleve-
land, Lord Stratford, Lord Harrowby, and Lord
Taunton joined in expressing their sense of the in-
adequacy of the present scheme, and their wish that
the Government would reconsider their decision ;
and this concurrence of authority is in perfect
accordance with the deliberate judgment of the
nation.

FATAL CA7ASTROPHE ON THE TYNE.

On Saturday afternoon a party of five men and
three young women engaged a small boat at Buck-
ham Quay, North Shields, and started down the
Tyne. Some of the party bad been indulging e rather
freely before setting off. On approaching th
inner pier on the south side, known as the
" Breaker," where a heavy swell was rolling, the
boat was observed to be proceeding in the direction
of the broken water. On this being reached the
occupants seemed full of glee as their frail craft was
pitched to and pro. They were hailed from the
shore and cautioned, but to no p.trpose. They then
commenced running the boat in the trough of the
sea, and while in the act of pulling the prow towards
the shore a tremendous sea caught her stem, lifting
her nearly perpendicular. She was then driven like
a rocket, scuildliog on the drest of the wave, which
eventually broke, filling the boat and sinking it. In
a few seconds the boats reappeared bottom upwards,
and two men were seen clinging to it. Five pilots,
who from the shore had seen, and indeed expected,
the catastrophe, lost no time in launching a boat,
though, in consequence of the force of the waves,
they experienced great difficulty. They, however,
succeeded in saving two men, whom they took on
board. On the way back to the pier they picked up
the body of one of the men, and a little further on
they recovered the body of one of the women. Al-
though a number of boats were soon at the scene of
the calamity no other bodies w recovered, andout
it
is supposed that they must haere
ve been carried

to sea.
The following is the list of those who met with
an untimely death :—Mary Fitzgerald, Elizabeth
Clarke, Elizabeth Stewartall of North Shields.
Robert Higgins, John Keating, and Thomas Laird,
all seamen of North Shield 3. Thomas Wilson and
Charles Pulmen, also seamen, were the only aura

vivors.
The unfortunate man Higgins was an old fiddler,
and was well known in North Shields. Wben the
boat started he was much the worse for liquor.
Charles I'ulmen, one of the men who was saved by
clinging to the boat, states that immediately he found
the boat was sinking he leapt out. On g g
t gaining
surface the next thing he saw was the boat capsized
he
and his companions struggling together. One of the
girls (he thinks it was Elizabeth Clarke) seized hold
of him by the shoulders and held on for a few
seconds, when a wave came and washed her
away. He then made for the boat, and caught
hold as it came bottom up. The other survivor,
Thomas Wilson, got hold of the boat about the same
time. When the accident occurred they were
6, larking" among themselves by running the boat
among the breakers. Some of the girls begged the
men not to go out so far, while others were very
much afraid and were crying. One of the pilots
who saw the boat sail down the Narrows says that
when it got among the broken water he and a num-
ber of his companions were looking every moment
for the boat capsizing. With painful anxiety they
watched the motions of the boat among the broken
sea. Several could not bear to look at the boat,
and walked away " sickened" and horrified at the

fill
with water. Scarcely a minute elapsed before she
l
disappeared. The occupants of the boat were for a
moment bid from sight. A rush was then made by
the pilots towards the water's edge, and a coble
launched. In running down the steep from the
Beacon one of those hastening to the rescue, Henry
Stephenson, fell and struck against some stones. So

from accomplishing his purpose. The young woman
whose body has been recovered was enciente. She
appeared to be between 18 and 20 years of age. The
other victims were also young.

SINGULAR PEDESTRIAN FEAT.--On Monday an
amateur pedestrian named Collings undertook for a stake
of £2O to run over six bridges crossing the Thames within
one hour, to commence and finish on the Surrey side of the
river. The start was made by running over Vauxhall
Bridge and back over Westminster, and then Waterloo,
Blackfriars, and Southwark bridges in their order, and
Collings finally completed his feat by running over Lon-
don Bridge into Surrey, and pulled up with seven or eight
minutes to spare. The distance actually covered is coin-
