IHE REFORM BILL.

DEPUTATION TO THE CHANCELLOR OF

TILE EXCHEQUER—(TiIIs DAY.)
To-day a deputation from the Constitutional
Association of South Lancashire had an interview
with the Chancellor of the Exchequer at his official
residence in Downing-street.

The deputation having been introduced by the
Hcn. A. Egerton,

Mr. AMBROSE, of Manchester, said the great ob-
ject of the deputation, which he felt represented
the feelings of the majority of the working-classes
of South Lancashire, was to give support to the
Government at a time when they were threatened
with a strong opposition. The deputation had the
greatest confidence in her Majesty's Government,
and that it would be for the future impossible to sal
the Conservatives opposed Reform. The association
felt that the associations called the Reform League
and the Reform Union did not truly represent the
feelings of the great body of the working classes'
The bill brought forward by the Government, it
was thought by the members of the association,
was one entitled to the strongest and most energetic
support, and it was the universal opinion that the
Government had done right in selecting as a basis
on which to found their bill the personal payment
of rates, and it was the anxious desire of the assu-
ciation that such an arrangement should be adhered
to. No injustice was done to the compound house'
holders by such an arrangement, and with respect
to the residential clause it was one of the best safe'
guards that could be offered to those whom it was
proposed to admit to the franchise. The other pro-
posals of the Government were exceedingly satis-
factory, and the Government had the best wishes
and the warmest support of the association for the
success of their endeavours to settle the difficult
question of Reform.
Mr. EDGE, of Bolton, said the residential clause
was of the highest importance, because it would cool'
pel persons who returned members to Parliament to
have a fixed place of abode, and to truly reflect local
interests. He hoped the Government would remain
firm to the arrangement, and, in the event of
their appealing to the country for support, he felt
certain they would receive increased support.
Mr. BOLD, of Liverpool, and Mr. D. HALL, of
Sheffield, felt that Government had brought forward
a measure which was worthy of the greatest
support.

Mr. TUFSTALL said it was the feeling of the de-
putation that the Government were not receiving
fair play, and that, being threatened with an
placable hostility, it was the duty of the association
to give the Government all the support possible•
He hoped the Government would remain firm to the
residential clause, because it was the only true
foundation upon which a reliably good bill can 10
constructed.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it
was most gratifying at that particular period to re-
ceive a deputation of such importance. It would
have been a great pleasure to Lord Derby to have
been present, but they were aware of the causes
that occasioned it, but he was glad to say they
would soon entirely disappear, and the noble earl
would very shortly be in a position to give all his ener-
gies to the service of his sovereigo. The Government
of Lord Derby had already accomplished matters of
great importance, but the question of Parliamentary
Reform threw a shadow over everything else, and
the Government thought they would not be doing
their duty to the country had they evaded it.
They had not, therefore, brought forward
a democratic plan of reform, but one which be
felt convinced was a conservative and a popular
plan. It was one founded on principles both
national and rational, and also a measure that
would be found to confer great and per-
manent advantages on a great number I:3'
her Majesty's subjects. The deputation might,
rely on it that her Majesty's Government would
not swerve from the cardinal principle of the bill:
as they looked upon the personal payment 01
rates and a residential qualification as two thine
without which the franchise should not be given'
By the bill of the Government it was open to everye
Englishman, if he felt so disposed, to elevate himself
to the franchise, but if some were not equal to the
occasion, and were careless about its attainment,
then, he said, they were not deserving of it. (Hear.)
The assurances of the support of the deputation
would be a great support to the Government, espe-
cially at that particular period. The contest WO
only beginning ; they had had some skirmishing on
the part of their opponents, but now they had
challenge which the country would comprehend'
Though it was difficult to see its exact meaning, the
country would not be blind to its exact purpose'
It was to defeat the attempt of Lord Derby
to deal with the question of Reform, and to defer
the settlement of the question indefinitely. Of emu.°
it was difficult to say what would occur, but as loaf •
as they occupied the position they did in the House °f
Commons they would fight the battle of the nation,
and if the time should come for them to appeal t°
the country for support they would not hesitate
to do it, feeling at the same time certain that they
would not have to make that appeal in vaio'
( Hear, hear.)
Thanks having been tendered to the right b°o
gentleman for the courtesy of his reception, tb
deputation, which amounted to nearly 100 Per-
sons, withdrew.

THE lIEREFORDIHRE UNDS. —The danger
which has lately threatened fox-hunting in Here-
fordshire, arising from the difficulty experienced of finding
a successor to tho gentlemen who have hitherto hunted the
county, is now considerably lessened by the fact that Sit
V. Cornewall, Bart., and Mr. John Hungerford Arkwrigbt
have, under a certain condition, offered to retain the join'
mastership of the pack. The condition stipulated. for iS
that a subscription of £1,500 a year towards the capons!s
of the kennels shall be guaranteed, and an effort is u°"
being made to raise the necessary sutn. A circular solicit/
ing subscriptions to the hunt has been forwarded to the
t
leading gentry of the county, and the committee state Oa,
in making the appeal they aro actuated by the belief thio
the break-up of the Herefordshire pack, which it apPoa
to them would be the almost certain result of the failure °l
the arrangement now proposed, " would be felt as a genets
misfortune by the county at large, and they hope a heart'
and early response will be made to their application."
ICEBERGS IN THE NORTH ATLANTIC.—There o,r
pears to be considerable truth in the theories re'
cently broached that the severe weather recently Oxl'
rienced in Great Britain and France was due to Milli
spheric disturbances in the North Atlantic Ocean, for
arrivals at Liverpool from New York and other ports 1'
the United States and Canada report unprecedented
tities of ice in mid-ocean, about 44 N. lat. and 53 W. let 4
One vessel had to sail for nearly 200 miles in a southerll4
direction alongside a perfect continent of ice, while etbatt
passed icebergs of enormous size, all much further soot
than is common at this season.
