MI?. BRIGHT ON THE LORDS' AMEND-
MEATS.

MANCIIESTER, Tuesday Night.
A meeting was held at the Fr&rade Hall, Man-
chester, to-night, to protest against the changes
made by the House of Lord's in the Reform Bill,
and to petition the House of Commons against the
clause giving a representation to minorities. The

hall was densely crowded in every part, and the re

ception given to Mr. Bright was most enthusiastic.
There were two resolutions and a petition adopted.
The first resolution denounced the system of voting
_ . .

papers as one which would lead to bribery and inti-
midation, and urged its rejection by the House of
Commons. The second resolution declared the
attempt of the House of Lords to deprive the elec-
tors of Manchester of the right of voting for all its
three representatives as contrary to immemorial
practice, and one which would cause a feeling of
lasting abhorrence and bitterness against its authors.
The petition prays the House of Commons, if the
electors cannot have three votes for three members,
to cause the constituency to be divided into two,
and, if that could not be done, then that the third
member for Manchester be withdrawn and given to
some other constituency. .

All the resolutions and petitions were carried
without a dissentient.

Mr. BRIGHT, when the cheering, amid which he
rose, had subsided, said-1 shall probably express
the unanimous feeling of this great meeting when I
say that we regret the necessity which has called us
together. We have bad during the last two years
prolonged and painful debates on the great question
of Parliamentary Reform. We have seen one Go-
vernment, for which we expected a long and useful
tenure of power, defeated and overthrown. We
have seen another Government, which has for
20 years at least pertinaciously resisted every effort
we have made in the direction of the emancipation
of the people, lead a great party into what the
French call a " cal de sac," or what we in English
call " a blind alley"—(laughter)— and, finally, we
have seen leaders and party capitulate to the
people on the greatest questions of our time. The
bill which the Tory Government have passed in
the teeth of all their past professions, arguments,

and principles, in the teeth even of their present
wishes, contains in it much that is acceptable to the
great body of the peoplo. There has been a general
impression that it was fortunate for the Reform
cause that the bill was in the hands of a Tory Admi-
nistration, for it was believed that the influence of
Lord Derby in the House of Lords was so great that
a bill might pass that house under his influence which
could not have passed if he had been opposed to it.
But there seems to be in the minds of the majority
of the Lords a great anxiety as to the future influ-
ence of the great borough communities. They would
have maltreated the lodger franchise, but on recon-
sidering the question, with excuses such as honest
men seldom make—(laughter)—they have with-
drawn their opposition. The Lords have not had the
magnanimity to accept frankly and freely the bill as
it came up to them, but have seemed to look out for
points where they could do mischief that would not
recoil on themselves. (Laughter.) They have not
touched finally the great points of the bill, but they
have adopted two propositions, which by the Corn-
MODS were decidedly and most wisely rejected. One
is the proposition to alter the whole plan of voting
throughout the country, to make it unnecessary for
any man to make his appearance at the poll, and
enable every voter to send his vote on a sheet of a
paper to the returning officer, or to some friend who
is an elector, by whom it shall be handed in at the
polling booth. The main object, I believe, is to
enable rich men, who possess or may obtain posses-
sion in many counties to vote in all
es
propertywithout leaving the houses in which
theyth o
e counties, without
There are many thousands who
have qualifications for votes in different counties,
and one of the main objects of this new plan is to
encourage the creation of non-resident voters ; but
it will serve another purpose. Lord Cranborne,
honestly and consistently opposed to Reform, stated
that under this system the drawing room of the
magistrate, the country gentleman, the landlord

—I am now quoting his words—would become in
some sort the polling booth for the district.
Then, imagine the tenant, the small shop-
keepers in the little country towns and villages,
the timid men of various professions and business
cajoled or forced or induced by any means to come
into the drawing room of the great man of the parish
where, in the presence of the magistrate, they are to
sign their papers and give their vote to be sent away
to the polling-booth of the county. Is it not as clear
as anything can be that a system like this would
withdraw these men from the influence of public
opinion, and that in the drawing room of the ma-
gistrate their courage and independence would pro-
bably fail them, and the very last thing they would
send off through the post would be an independent
and a conscientious vote? (Hear, hear.) There is
not an Irish member on the Liberalsideof the house
who would not say that the establishment of this
system would be the entire breakdown of anything
like freedom to the county elections of Ireland.
What can be more needless than this? (Hear.) Is
there anybody in the kingdom who knows anybody
in the kingdom that has ever asked for this change?
(Cheers.) Does any member of Parliament know
that any petition has ever been presented to the
House of Commons asking for this innovation ?
Does any man believe that there could be gathered
throughout these three realms an assembly like this
to ask for anything so foolish or so mischievous as is
contained in this proposition? (Cheers.) But there
is another questionlwhich concerns us to-night more,
because, while it has in It all that is mischievous and
all that is odious that can be found in the other pro-
position, it has in it besides a principle so perilous,
and, in my opinion, so fatal to everything like a real
representation, that I know nothing in any Reform
Bill that would be worth the penalty or the price we
should have to pay for it if we were to accept this
proposition of limitedvoting in large towns. (Hear.)
In the House of Commons the proposition of Mr•
Lowe on this question was rejected by a majority of
about 140. In the one case the proposition came from
a man through whom mainly, and those who worked
with him, the bill of last year was rejected.
In the House of Lords the scheme comes from
Lord Cairns, a very eminent lawyer ; a very modern
peer indeed—(loud laughter)—a member, until re-
cently of the Irish Tory and Orange party ; a man
who, with great ability and untiring perseverance,
has fought for his party and opposed, as far as I
have seen, every Liberal proposition connected with
home politics that has been submitted to the House
during all the years he has had a seat in that assem-
bly. There was no man last year who was more
vicious and bitter in his opposition to the bill of last
year than was the then member for Belfast—the now
Lord Cairns sitting in the House of Lords. There-
fore, you see that this proposition, which some weak
men tell us is a proposition of fairness and equality,
and will tend to do all manner of good things in
the boroughs to which it is applied, was made iu the
House of Commons by the most eminent opponent
of Reform now in the House, and was made in the
House of Lords by the man tiao last year was as
powerful and influential probably as any other man
there, it may be, with the exception of Mr. Lowe, in
the opposition which was then made to the Reform
