THE BALLOT SO
.REFOR4I

CIETY AND THE
Jr BILL.

At the weekly meeting of the executive commit-
tee, held on Monday, at the offices, Guildhall-cham-
bers, the Reform Bill came under the attention of
the committee, and on the motion of Mr. Sydenham
Nodes, seconded by Mr. Francis Clowes, it was
unanimously resolved :
1. In considering the Ministerial proposal for
parliamentary reform, this committee see with re-
gret that Lord John Russell has not renewed the
proposal embodied in his plan submitted to Lord
Grey's Cabinet in 1831, that the vote by ballot
should form part of the Reform Bill.
2. That the lowering of the franchise in cities
and boroughs, by admitting a poorer and more de-
pendent class to the right of voting, is an additional
reason for insisting on the enactment of the vote by
ballot.

3. That
te classexpetienocfe
ohccauspyshinogwntetnhaantta thatit is by
the
the
votes of the
county constituencies are kept in their present
state of thraldom ;an this committee beg leave
to express their apprehension that the proposal fur-
ther to extend the franchise among the same class,
unaccompanied by the protection of the ballot, will
be fbund, as in the case of the similar extension in
Ireland, not to increase the power of the people,
but, on the cantrary, to strengthen the domination
of the aristocracy at. elections.
4. That this committee regret that in extending
the constituent body her Majesty's Ministers have
not seen fit, by means of the vote by ballot, to pro-
tect it from the bribery and corruption which re-
cent disclosures prove are widely prevalent in the
constituency created by the Reform Act of 1832.
' 5. This committee pledge the society, whatever
may be the fate of the Ministerial Reform Bill, to
unabated exertion to secure the speedy enactment
of the vote by ballot, on the plan in force in the
Australian colonies.

THE POPULATION OF CITIES AND BOROUGHS.—
A return showing the number of persons occupying houses
of various rents in the boroughs and cities of England and
Wales was published yesterday. The number of registered
electors in these divisions of the United Kingdom in Nov.,
1859, the period to which the return refers, was 440,792.
Of these 43,368 lived in houses at £9, and under £lO ;
51,065 in houses of £B, and under £9 ; 78,631 in those of rt
and under £8 ; 98,966 in those of a, and under £7. The
total number of electors who would therefore be added to
the register in England and Wales, in virtue of the pro-
posed alteration in the borough franchise, is 272,030.
