TOWER HAMLETS.
Last night a densely crowded meeting was held
at the Beaumont Institution, Mile-end-road, for the
Purpose of considering the Government Reform
Bill.

The following resoultion was carried unani-
mously :—" That in the opinion of this meeting the
bill introduced by the Government, professedly to
amend the representation of the people, is a mockery
and a delusion. That by disfranchising that inde-
pendent element in county constituencies, the free.
holders residing in boroughs, it seeks to strengthen
the interests of the great landholders in counties,
whilst it carefully, and most unjustly, excludes
from all participation in the franchise the indus-
trial classes of the country, whose intelligence and.
skill entitle them to a first consideration in any
change in the constitution."

PADDINGTON.
Last evening a public meeting of the inhabitants
of Paddington took place at the Vestry 1101,
Paddington-green. The following resolution was
carried unanimously :—" That it is the opinion of
this meeting that the bill recently brought into
Parliament by the Chancellor of the Exchequer,
professedly to amend the law relating to the repre-
sentation of the people, is a sham, and deserves the
energetic condemnation of every sincere reformer."

SOUTHAMPTON.
One of the largest meetings ever held here took
place last night on the reform question. Very
strong resolutions condemnatory of the Govern-
ment measure were passed, and others praying for
a bill that would secure for all classes full and fair
representation carried.

IPSWICH.
On Tuesday evening a large and enthusiastic
meeting was held in the Corn Exchange, Ipswich,
for the purpose of giving the electors an opportu-
nity of expressing their opinions on the Govern-
ment Reform Bill. The following resolution was
agreed to :—"That in the opinion of this meeting
the Reform Bill introduced by Lord Derby is utterly
unworthy of that designation, inasmuch as besides
minor defects it fails to provide for a large exten-
sion of the franchise in boroughs, and the protec-
tion of the voter by ballot. That on these grounds
it is unsatisfactory to this meeting, and should be
indignantly rejected."

WORCESTER.
The following resolution has been passed at a
meeting of the Worcester Parliamentary and Finan-
cial Reform Association That the bill introduced
by the Government professedly to amend the laws
relating to the representation of the people does not
respond to the just requirements of any portion of
reformers in this country, inasmuch as it disfran-
chises a whole class of intelligent and independent
county voters, not less than 50,000 in nunber ;
refuses to disfranchise a single small, corrupt or
dependant constituency; does not attempt to redress
the notoriously inadequate representation of many
large borough's ; does not provide for the voter, in
the exercise of his franchise, the protection of the
ballot ; and rejects the claims of any portion of the
working classes to be admitted to the rights of
citizenship."
