MUNICIPAL CORPORATION BILL.

A most important meeting was held this morning
at the F-reign Office, of upwards of two hundred Li-
beral Members of Parliament. The meeting assembled
at one o'clock, and terminated at three.

Lord J. RUSSELL opened the subject by stating
the course his Majesty's Government proposed to take
with reference to the mutilations of the Corporation
Bill by the Lords.
His Lordship distinctly disclaimed any intention
of compromising the Reformers or the House of
Commons, and recommended unanimity in those
points of concession which might be fairly made to
the Lords, without impairing the efficiency and main
principles of the Bill.

He stated, that however objectionable the principle
of qualification, he was not prepared to reject Lord
DEVON'S proposition of 5001. and 1,0001., if by
so doing lie could secure the passing of the Bill.
He expressed himself as most decided against the re-
tention of any of the old Corporators into the Council,
and repudiated as inadmissable the preservation of the
old Town-clerks in the new Corporations.
His Lordship stated that he was prepared to con-
cede a portion of the Council to be elected fer a longer
period, and that he would not object to the electing a
fourth for six years ; half to go out at the end of three ;
to be nominated by the Town Councils.
His Lordship objected to the extent to which the
division of wards had been carried, and proposed some
alterations in respect to these amendments.
Mr. GROTE, Mr. BERNAL, Serjeant WILDE, Mr.
HUME, Mr. O'CONNELL, Lord EBRINGTON, Mr.
WILKES, and. Mr. D. W. HARVEY addressed the
Meeting, and the prevailing feeling was decidedly
against any material concessions.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL expressly declared that he
would not consent to the restoration of the religious
test, which had bee❑ repudiated by the Legisla-
ture, and that he would oppose the amendment as
proposed by the Lords.

We trust the Lords will have the wisdom to see
the position in which they ate placed, afxl before it is
too late consider that the question now before
the country is, whether they are to be govenied
by a majority of their Representatives, and a mi-
nority of the Lords, or by a minority of the Com-
mons, and a majority of the hereditary Legislators, who
seem so little to understand the real wants and wishes
of the people.

The Lords have had their full swing against the
people ; it is now the turn of the Commons to act. or
them. The period—that critical period so often fore-
told—has at last arrived, beyond which there can be
no postponement of the question, whether the national
Representatives are in future to have anything to
say in the Government of the country; or whether
it is to be left entirely at the mercy of a band of titled
conspirators against its best interests. This is really
and truly the question at issue, and it is important tlitit
Hon. Members should fully understand, and, bear in
mind, that this is the view which the people take of
it. The people now expect that, those whom they
entrusted with the guardians,l4 of their rights, and
the protection of their liberties, will now stand for-
wv.rd and justify, l,y their conduct, the confidence
reposed in them. There can, indeed, be no excuse
for flinching on this occasion, drawn from ignorance
of the popular will. After the display of public
feeling which the proceedings in the House of Lords
have produced fro It end to end of the kingdom, the
man must be idiot, who should pretend to shield
his tergiv`irsation under so flimsy a pretext. Who-
ever, therefore, sides with the Lords in this crisis of
his country's fate, has deserted the people, and may
mkt: up his mind to the consequences.
Ministers, weCheite-;;and trust, will not set an ex-
.
simple of sqlf-debasement, by sanctioning the atrocious
principles introducedintotritCorporation Reform Bill
'by the Peers. The past conllttt of Lord MELBOURNE
is security enoUgb;that .he' !ill not be a party to any
compromik that shall deprive the measure of any of
its furidanlevigkp,rpyl4i6oti,l"here may be some altera-
tions made 1;),44'L9-fils for the sake of peace,
