The franchise clauses have since
been agreed upon. The outline of the redistribu-
tion scheme must be considered as approved by he
house, and it is quite impossible that any effectivet
struggle can be made over the schedules. When
the committee has once entered upon the detailed
discussion of those appendices to the bill the Go-
vernment will enjoy the advantage of encountering

desired. It outdid all preceding Mondaysu much
as Mondays have commonly outdone the other
of the week. Sir Harry Verney, having failed days
relieve the officers of the Inland Revenuefrometl
disabilities, naturally failed to relieve the rnetrorleot
litan police and county constabulary from
r
privations. Sir Harry, while urging the claims of
policemen and constables to a vote, was good
enough to suggest that they should not vote in
uniform ; but the committee, careless of the rights
of man, decided that, helmet or no helmet, police-
men should not be alleluia(' to., vote at all. Mr.
Crawford was mere fortainate with an amendment
affecting his own constituency. He succeeded in
passing a clause permitting electors for the City of
London to vote if they reside anywhere within 25
miles-of the City, instead of 7, the limit provided
by the Act of 1832 and still retained for all other
borough constituencies. Mr. Bouverie, Mr. Henley,
and Mr. Henry B:tillie questioned the policy of the
amendment, inasmuch as it is evident that the per-
sons thus admitted to an occupation vote in the
City would, under the new ccuuty franchise, obtain
a second occupation vote at the place of their actual
residence. The circumstances of the city are, how-
ever, as Mr. Crawford, Mr. Goschen, and Mr.
Alderman Lawrence urged in unison, peculiar •
there never was any place like it, and it will pro-
bably remain without a second among muicipalities,
to be the wonder of succeeding generations. Con-
sidering that the house has been struggling to re-
form the city ever since the Municipal Corporations
Act, and has time after time been worsted in the
conflict, its generosity is at least magnanimous.
The recorder obtained the sanction of the committee
to clauses providing that the bribers and bribed of
Great Yarmouth, Lancaster, Totnes, and Reigate,
should not be enfranchised as county voters in their
respective counties ; and then a cloud of proposed
provisions was swept out of the notice-book. Mr.
Eykyn's suggestion for preserving the double repre-
sentation of Windsor fell, as might be expected, still-
born ; the claims of Huddersfield and of Swansea
to a second member were not pressed, and the
grievances of " unemployed" priests in not being
allowed to sit in the House of Commons were post-
poned for consideration on some future day, when
the hariships of Scotch Peers may perhaps be also
taken into account. More than a score of other
clauses lapsed or were withdrawn, and the only pro-
posals which raised a debate were those of Mr.
Gladstone and Colonel Gilpin. Mr. Gladstone
advocated the claims of South Lancashire to an addi-
tional member, asking that each of its two future
divisions should return three members instead of
two, as proposed by the bill, and cleverly re-
torted upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer
his own argument on the claims of counties to in-
creased representation, from which not even General
Peel can say Mr. Disraeli has ever receded. If, said
Mr. Gladstone, the population of counties is to be
taken as a reason for giving them more members
collectively, it must also govern the distribution of
members among them. As South Lancashire swells
the disparity, South Lancashire ought to have a
proportionate share of the spoil. Mr. Disraeli, in
reply, claimed credit for having given Lancashire
eight members. He forgot to mention that he bad
taken two from it; but any argument will succeed
with an audience already convinced, and Mr. Glad-
stone's proposal was negatived without a division.
Colonel Gilpin's amendment was more seriously
discussed. He proposed that, instead of depriving
Luton, Keighley, Barnsley, and St. Helen's of their
promised members, in order to obtain the seats con-
ferred on the great towns, one feat apiece' should
be taken from the four boronhine_xt riiikove 10,000
inhabitants according to the wads of 1861, now
returning two members each. It *as somewhat
remarkable that Tamworth and Tiverton should be
two of the four ; the others are Warwick and Barn-
staple, and Mr. Denman defended the claims of
Tiverton to continued double representation on ac-
count of Lord Palmerston's long connection with it,
just as Mr. John Hardy defends the privileges of
Dartmouth out of respect to the pious and immortal
memory of William 111. The representatives of
the other threatened boroughs fought for their con-
stituencies, and were only too successful. Colonel
Gilpin's amendment was rejected on a division by
221 to 195, and the double representation of Barn-
staple and the rest was maintained. The committee
has thus reached the schedules. The relative allot-
ment of seats to towns and counties may be consi-
dered as settled, and even the distribution of scats
among the counties will probably remain unaltered.
Mr. Henniker-Major proposes to trisect Suffolk,
as so many other counties will be trisected ;
but the House of Commons will not be disposed to
increase the number of seats already given to the
counties. Subject to the single but considerable
alteration of having given a third member to the
populous towns of Liverpool, Manchester, Bir-
mingham, and Leeds at the expense of Luton,
Kcighley, Barnsley, and St. Helen's—an alteration
which would have been still more considerable bad
it been accomplished by depriving the four stagnant
towns struck at by Colonel Gilpin of a member
apiece—the Chancellor of the Exchequer's Redistri-
bution Scheme will pass in the form it was proposed
after the Whitsun recess. It would be idle to pre-
tend that it is commensurate with the enfranchising
clauses of the bill, and we share the regret expressed
by Mr. Gladstone last night, believing with him, as
we have always believed, that " any measure which
bears the name of a Parliamentary Reform Bill
should, in the main, be satisfactory and adequate,
so far as the two branches of the question are con-
cerned." But the House of Commons is made up
of mortal men, and time is limited, and the com-
mittee has acted wisely in expediting a measure
which, in spite of inequality in details, contains
more extensive scheme of Reform than any bill in-
troduced into Parliament since 1832, instead oft
persisting in a search after perfection which 'pus
have ended in a total failure of legislation.

GENERAL PALLAVICINO. —A Paris letter, in the
Independancs, says:—" The absurd invention that General
Pallavicino had murdered his wife is denied, and cannot bo
too strongly contradicted. The young marquise, born at
Cantanzaro, was educated at Naples ; sho is adored by her
husband; and shares that affection to such a degroo that
she made a vow to rotiro from the world for two years if
hor husband escaped the perils which he incurred in his ex-
pedition against the brigands of the Southern provinces.
It is perhaps the too faithful execution of that vow whic
has permitted this ridiculous and calumnious rumour to b
accredited."

The Union League of Philadelphia have offered
$lO.OO in prizes for essays on the legal organisation of the
people to select candidates for the office. For the best
essay in the judgment of the Board $5OO will be given,
$3OO to the second, $2OO for the third, $lOO for the fourth.
The essays must be addressed to and received by George
11. Bol:er, the Secretary of the Union League of Philadel-
phia, before the Ist day of January, 1868. Every compet-
ing essay must be accompanied with the name and address
of the author, within a sealed envelope, which will not be
opened until the merits of the essays have been deter-
mined. All the essays will become the property of the
Union League.
