Mr. VirIIALLEY asked theFENIANIS Chief Secretary for Ireland
what was the cause of the militia not being called out this
year in Ireland, and whether, in particular, it was owing
to the knowledge or belief that a large proportion of that
force was or had been in complicity with the Fenian con-
,pwacy ; and, if so, whether the Government was prepared
to furnish the house with further information as to the
nature and extent of such complicity.

and if the information he had received led to the belief
that these outbreaks can be traced to distinct sources of
infection, or whether it would appear that the disease had
taken an epidemic form, or that all or any of these cases
had originated spontaneously?
Mr. BRUCE said an inspector had been sent to the Isle
of Man, and he had received a communication from him,
dated the 4th inst. It was to the effect that, although
the disease had the appearance of rinderpest, yet he was
not in a position to state positively that it was so.
SUPPLY.—PROVISION FOR THE PRINCESS
MARY OF CAMBRIDGE.
The house then went into committee of supply, Mr.
DODSON in the chair.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER then rose
in pursuance of order to move for a further provision for
the Princess Mary on the occasion of her marriage with his
Royal Highness Prince Teck. The character of the
Princess was most favourably known iu this country, and
the same impression existed with respect to the illustrious
person to whom she was about to be united. Her Royal
Highness enjoyed at present 13,000 per annum, but that
was thought to be inadequate for the marriage state, with-
out her Royal Highness united herself in marriage to a
person of large resources. The members of the royal family
were called upon to keep up a certain position, and they were
not so fortunately placed as other subjects of her
Majesty, because, in the event of their expenses becom-
ing more than 'could be easily met, they could not easily re-
duce their expenditure. The princess, after her marriage,
would still remain a resident in England, where the
Prince Tock would also reside. The proposal he had to
make was that in addition to the annuity of £3,000 which
the princess already received, an addition of £2,000 per
annum, should be made, making it in the whole £5,000.

Clause 1 was agreed to.

On clause 4 being read,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said an
amendment was to be moved to this clause which in-
volved one of the vital principles of the bill. The
amendment proposed by the right hon. gentlenian .oppo-
site (Mr. Walpole) was to strike out the word fourteen,
and insert instead thereof the word twenty, to make that
the amount of the qualification for the county franchise,
and to that proposal he could not give his assent. The great
object of the Government in fixing as the county.
franchise was to settle, if possible, for some time the sub-
ject of reform. (Hear, hear.) The Government propoeal
had been frankly accepted by the reforming party in the
country, and ho could not consent to the alteration. If the
bill passed as the Government proposed, he felt there would
be a practical settlement of the question of Parliamentary
reform, but the adoption of a..£20 franchise would entirely in
the opinion of the Government, frustrate that much desired
end. The object of the clause was to complete the enfran-
chisement of the middle classes, while at the same time the
power of the working class in counties was by the Govern-
ment proposal reduced, and he trusted the house would re-
collect that when they came to the consideration of the
borough franchise. He did not believe that there would
bo a great manufacture of £l4 qualifications if the
proposal of the Government was accepted by the house.
One important argument in favour of the .£l4 franchise
for counties was that it was, in fact, the county franchise
in Ireland, where it had worked well for the last 15 years,
a circumstance the importance of which could not
be over estimated. (Hear, hear.) The addition that
would be made in the county franchise of the
Government proposal was adopted would be 171,000 per-
sons, whilst the number to be added by the £2O qualifica-
tion would be 115,000, or a reduction of 56,000 persons
from the number sought to be enfranchised by the Go-
vernment. He, therefore, should feel it his duty to resist
the amendment.

Lord STANLEY said he did not rise to answer the
speech of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, but to ask for
the postponement of this clause, in order that the portion
of the bill for the redistribution of seats might be lust
taken into consideration. (hear, hear, from the Opposi-
tion, and laughter from the Ministerialists.)
