Lord DUNCANNON moved the second reading of the

Lord FARNHAM objected to the Bill, as giving too much

Lord PLUNKETT thought it would be a very advanta-

that in London.

Lord HAT HE RTON also supported it.
The Earl of RODEN thought that before this Bill was
introduced some communication ought to have been made with

(LEFT SITTING.)

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
The SPEAi.:Ea took the Chair at three o'clock.
COPPORATION BILL.

Mr. FRESHFIELD presented a petition from Banbury,
praying for the name of that borough being struck out of the
Corporation Bill, as the new limits prescribed by it would
throw an unusual share of the poor-rates . upon them. He
also presented one from Bedford, praying that the independ-
ence of all branches of the Constitution might be preserved.
Also, one to the same effect from Truro.
Mr. TANCRED said the petition from Banbury contained
many mis-statements, and had not been heard of till Friday
last.
Mr. MARSHALL presented a petition which emanated
from one of the largest and most respectable meetings ever
held in Carlisle, praying the House to reject the Corporation
Bill as amended by the Lords.
Mr. CHARLTON presented -a petition from Ludlow
praying that all the branches of the Legislature might be left
in the possession of their independence.
Mr. STRUTT said the petition had been signed by only
ninety-nine persons out of a population of 5,000. The
Honourable Member stated, on a former occasion, that
one boy had signed the petition on the other side nine times.
The moment that representation went down it caused a great
deal of excitement, on tracing the repast to its foundation, and
it was now most completely denied.
Mr. CHARLTON had made his statement upon the autho-
rity of a letter from a gentleman in whom he had perfect con-
fidence, and the parties did not contradict him. He
trusted that in future all parties would affix their signa-
tures to their petitions, and also their residences.—(Hear.)
As to what he had stated the other night, he had been very
much misrepresented. He would only add, that many of these
petitioners could neither read nor write, and he believed that
many of those who complained of the unconstitutional conduct
of the House of Lords, could not spell the word cohstitution.
Mr. ROBlNSON—According to his understanding of the
rules of that House, this petition could not be received. It
was founded upon and referred to a speech of an Hon. Mem-
ber, spoken in that House. If they allowed the reports of the
Speeches of ?Members of that House to be made the subject
of petitions, it would lead to endless discussions, and would
seriously interrupt the business of the House.--( Hear. )
The SPEAKER suggested that the better course would
be to have the petition read. According to his understanding
of it, it referred not to the speech of an lion. Member, but
to a letter read in that House. It would be then for the
House to say whether or not the petition could be received.
The Clerk accordingly read the petition at length. It com-
plained of a statement made by Mr. Charlton in that House,
which' statement was founded upon a letter from the High
Bailiff of Ludlow, which was read at the same time. The
petitioners denied the truth of the statement.
Mr. ROBINSON thought the petition could not Le re-
ceived.—( Cries of oh, oh.) Gentlemen were actuated in all
these cases by party feeling. )—( Uproar and cries of ". Order.")
Mr. ROEBUCK rose to order. He was quite sure that
the Hon. Gentleman would retract the words he had spoken.
Mr._ ROBINSON was sorry to see gentlemen cheering
anything that had reference to the business of the House and
the regulations of their proceedings.—( Cries of " 011, oh 1"
and " Order 1")
Mr. STRUTT--It will save time if I am allowed to say a
word.—( Cries of " Order !")
Mr. ROBINSON proceeded amidst cries of " Spoke,"
" Order," and " Go on," and Mr. Strutt resumed his seat.
The House had heard the petition read, and he submitted that
the first paragraph did allude to statements made in that House,
and it would therefore be contrary to the rules of the House to
receive this petition.
Mr. STRUTT had merely risen to say that the object of
the petition had been answered ; and if, in the opinion of the
Speaker, the petition was irregular, he was willing to with-
draw it.
Mr. ROEBUCK contended that the petition was regular.
It merely referred to a statement, made certainly by an Hon.
Member in that House, but founded upon a letter of a person
who was not a Member of that House. As to Members of
that House being actuated by party motives,•lie had called the
lion. Member to order, and he was sure he was right in doing
no. as the imputation of motives of any description was wholly
unparliamentary. Party motives were improper motives to
act upon, and lie was-sure that the lion. Gentleman (Mr.
Robinson) would be desirous of making an apology to the
House.—( Hear, hear.)
• The SPEAKER—It was for the House to consider whe-
ther this petition was to be received or not. If it referred to
assertions made by an Hon. Member in that House it was
clearly wrong, but to him it appeared merely to refer to the
letter of the High Bailiff of Ludlow.
Mr. CHARLTON was willing to admit that the High
Bailiff had been wrongly informed. He hoped, however, that
out of this evil good would come, and that in future peti-
tions would contain not merely the names but the residences
of the parties signing them.—( Hear, hear.)
Mr. ROBINSON—As the lion. Member has expressed
his willingness to withdraw the petition
4r. STRUTT begged to undeceive the Hon. Member.
He had expressed his willingness to withdraw the petition if
Mr. Speaker should decide that it was irregular.
The petition vas then laid on the table.
Mr. DUNLO LI presented several petitions from Ayr and
other places in Scotaand, in favour of the Municipal Reform
Bill.
Mr. WALL ACE rose in the first place to give his support
to the petitions presented by the• Hon. Member for Ayr, hav-
ing been requested so to do, and in the second place to present
a petition from Paisley containing 7,692 signatures, and
amongst them that of the Chief Magistrate, which were all
signed at a public meeting. They prayed that House to grant
to the people of England the same advantages-winch this and
the other House of Parliament had in the Municipal Reform Bill
granted to Scotland, and which had been found to work so re-
markably well. They expressed-their hope that that House
avould riot consent to receive the Bill in the mutilated state in
which it was returned from the other House of Parliament, but
rather that they would repeal the Bill altogether.—( Hear. )
The Hon. Member also presented a petition from Greenock to
the same etf.'ct. which was agreed to at a public meeting con-
vened by the Magistrates, three of whom rppcared first in the
list of petitioners. His constituents bad chosen him because
lie was an out and out Radical Reformer, and they had se-
lected Magistrates of the same class. He was quite sure that
the other House had acted in utter ignorance of the feeling of
.Scotland, but it was to be accounted for by the tic:, that none
of its Representatives in that House were liberal in their prin-
ciples --(Cries of " Order'' from Mr. Charlton, &c. )
-The SPEAKER. suggested the propriety of not making
any remarks upon the Members of the other House.
Mr, WALL ACE observed that Maambers of the other
[louse had spoken pretty freely of this Flouse, but be would
Pot pursue his remarks.
Mr. POTTER said he had the honour to present a peti-
tion- from a leimber of the inhabitants of Tadcaster, in the
West Riding of the county of York. He was sure it 'had not
been intrusted to his care from any disrespect to the Noble
Lord or the. Honourable Baronet, who so ably and satis.
factorily represented that division of the county, but be-
cause he (Mr. Potter) was a native of Tadeaeter. The
petitioners speak in strong language, but not more eo than
the case deserves. They state, " That your petitioners
tong disgusted with the notoriously corrupt practices prevail-
itsse in corporate towns, hailed with inexpressible satisfaction
Cle measure of Reform of Municipal Corporations which lately
pa. ',sat the House." They go on. to --express their deep
readgi:t and indignation at the attempts which have been
m
to defeat the patriotic efforts of the faithful Com-
mons, and at the mutilations which the Corporation Bill has
receiveo.‘--4 Hear, hear.) He begged the attention of the
House to the two concluding paragraphs of the petition,
-which aver e ;.--" That your petitioners are gratefully thankful
nty's Ministers for their firmness in such deplorable
Haman

:mow'

any cvery ceo geney which may arise in tee presatit state
of public affairs. Your petitioners, therefore, humble pray your
lion. House firmly to resist every attempt to.induce year Hon.
House to adopt, and ou the contrary, that you will indrli-lantly
and promptly reject any perverted •vt mutilated' Bill,
retaining the name of Corporation Reform and pretended
to be amended by the Peers, and lastly, that your Honourable
House will' not hesitate- to stop the Supplies, should
obstinacy in any quarter be persevered in to interrupt
the completion of this great measure.".—( Hear, hear, bear.)
He trusted that the other branch of the Legislature would yet
be induced to comply with the wishes of the country, which
had been so unequivocally expressed. If not, then he ( Mr.
Potter) was of opinion the only course left to the House of
Commons was to stop the supplies, or, at any rate, grant them

for a very short period only.
Mr. SINCLAIR supported the petition, but thought it
quite competent for this Honse to take the alterations of the
Lords into consideration before any final decision was made.
Mr. BROTHERTON presented a petition from Salford
to the same effect, signed by 4,300 individuals, and also pray-
ing the house to instititute an inquiry into the law of heredi-
tary peerage. He fos one would never consent to the Bill in
its present state.—({fear.) With respect to the other prayer,
he would say that ever since he could think on political sub-
jects, he had been in favour of Kings, Lords, and Commons,
and he deeply regretted that circumstances should have arisen
to justify the petitioners in using such strong language, but it
showed thet the people were determined to have reform ir.
Church and State, whatever Might, IP the Pit qr the eqr.se-
queue, It could not be wondered that the people spoke in
-is way, when they saw that hereditary legislators cared for
tt) !Hake laws far their own pleasure, in order to
nothing
put money into thsi:!' owp pockets, or the pcekets of their rela-
tions and dependents.
Mr. Phillips, Mr, Q, flindley, Mr. Ewart, and Mr. Fielden,
supported the petition,
Mr. CHARLTON complained of the Hon. Member for
Salford, accusing Members of the other House of putting
money into their te.vit pockets, and called upon him to prove it.
( Laughter.) He thought the amendments made by the
House of Lords were calculated to promote the happiness of
the people.—( Hear and laughter.) He thought the House
of Lords had no more power to do away with the House of
Commons, than the latter had to overthrow the Lords—
( Ilear)—and he begged pardon for the warmth of feeling
which he had displayed.
Mr. BROTHERTON explained.
Mr. HUTT presented a petition from Kingston-upon-Hull,
signed by 2,000 persons, praying the House of Commons not
to enter into any compromise with the other House, but to
reject the Bill altogether in its present shape. He trusted
this House would make a firm stand against the mutilations of
the Lords.
C. BROOKE VERE presented petitions from Ips-
wich and ether places, in favour of the Lords' Amendments to
the Municipal Corporations Bill.
COMMISSION.
The Deputy Usher of the Black Rod here appeared at the
table, and summoned the House to hear the Royal Assent
given to several Bills agreed upon by both Houses of Parlia-
ment, for which see the Lords' Report.
The SPEAKER having resumed the Chair,
Mi. MORRISON would protest against the petition which
had boon presented by the Hon. Baronet opposite as repre-
senting ate 'opinions of any large number of the inhabitants cf
Ipswich. He had presided at a meeting lately held in that
town, and he would say that no town in Egland took a deeper
interest in the success of the measure to which the petition
alluded.
Cot GORE LANGTON presented a petition from Frome
in favour of the Municipal Reform Bill as amended by the
House of Lords.
Mr. SHEPHERD supported the prayer of the petition.
The inhabitants of that town loved their king and country,
and despised the intimidation which was at present abroad.
Mr. WILKS admitted that the people of Fronie, many
of whom were Dissenters, loved their King and their country ;
but they also loved liberty—( Hear)—and were prepared to
live in its behalf, and die in its defence. He believed there
was a great majority of the people of Frome favourable to
the Municipal Reform Bill, as it originally stood.
Mr. ORD presented a petition, signed by 7,200 inhabitants
of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, praying that the House of Com-
mons would not pass the Municipal Bill, as amended by the
House of Lords. The petitioners had also passed a resolution
vindicating the conduct of the two Municipal Commissioners
who had visited the town of Newcastle.
Mr. P. HOWARD could bear testimony to the deep and
bitter feeling which pervaded that and the neighbouring coun-
ties, in consequence of the manner in which the Bill had been
mutilated in the House of Lords. He, (Mr. Howard,) was not
one of those who thought that the popular cause could be bene-
fited by rejecting alt concession or compromise, but he thought
the House should resolutely stand by the main and leading pro-
visions of the Bill.—( Hear, hear.) He trusted they would
hear no More of the reign of aldermen after to-night. All
the counties on the borders were deeply interested in the
restitution of those rights of local government which they
had formerly enjoyed.
Mr. A. CHAPMAN as a burgess'of Newcastle would enter
his protest against the doctrine of the Hon. Members opposite.
He thought a qualification as necessary in a Corporation as
that which entitled him to a seat in that House. He should
to the last moment of his existence endeavour to defend
those rights which hat} been handed down from father to
son in the corporate bodies of England, and should, oppose
their being stripped of them, unless some malversation was
proved, which had never even been chargeden the Corporation
of Neweastle.—( Hear. )
Mr. NICHO L presented a petition from 1,500 burgesses
of Newcastle (as we understood) in favour of the amended
Corporation Bill.
Mr. G ROTE presented petitions from the wards of Bishops-
gate and Cross-street in favour of the Bill.
Mr. LEADER presented a similar petition from Bridge,
water.
Mr. H. TYNTE supported the prayer of this petition,
which he said was most respectably signed.
Mr. T. DUNCOMBE presented a petition which had been
adopted at a very numerous meeting of the parishioners of St.
James's, Westminster, praying the House to resist all altera-
tions in the Municipal Reform Bill, and to withhold ail further
grants of money till the Bill was passed, as it went up to the
House of Lords.
Mr. WILKS reminded the House that this parish had
more land and assessed taxes than some counties in England.
Mr. HUME presented petitions against the amendments
made by the House of Lords in this Bill, from the parishes of
St. Martin and St. John the Evangelist, Westminster; from St.
Anne's; from St. Paul's, Covent-garden ; from St. Andrew's,
Holborn ; from. the Royal burgh of Annan ; and from Ches-
terfield, signed by 1,306 inhabitants. The petitioners also
prayed the House not to grant any further supplies of money
till the Bill, as sent up to the House of Lords, should have
become the law of the land.—( Hear, hear.)
[The Duke DE NaMotu here entered the House, and
took his seat by the side of the Sergeant-at-arms. His
Royal Highness was attended by several gentlemen, who ap-
peared to be foreigners, and who took their seats behind him.]
Mr. HUME presented similar petitions from Aylesbury,
Colnbrooke, Chichester, St. Martin's-in-the-Fields, Nuneaton,
Royal Borough of Nairn and Bolton. The Hon. Member trusted
the -Government would not, as persons expected, take half and
half measures, allow themselves to be dictated to by any body
of risen.—(Cheers.)
Colonel PE RCE VA L said, with respect to the petition
from St. Martin's in the Fields, he lived in that ts riih, and
his chamber window looked upon the door of the ye try room.
On the day the meeting took place, he had the curiosity to
observe the persons who attended the nieetipg, and he believed
they did not exceed 300.
Mr. HUME trusted that the House would not receive the
eaves-dropping information of the lion. and Gallant Member—
(Cheers)—in preterence to the statements of the petitioners.
Mr. BEEVES presented petitions from Plymouth, against
the Lords' amendments to the Corporation Reform Bill.
Mr. WILLIAMS presented a similar petition from Coven-
try, signed by upwards of 5,000 persons:
Mr. BERNAL also presented similar petitions from Ro-
chester, Chatham, and Stroud.
Sir G. A NSON presented a petition from Lichfield, pray-
ing that the House would not accept the Bill mutilated as it
now w -s.
Sir W. FOULKES presented one to the same effect from
K Lyon.
Sir R. DONKIN presented one from Berwick-upon-Tweed,
praying the House not to pass the Bill as it now stood, for, in
place of its being a boon to their own town, it would be a
curse, by adding to its taxation.—( Hear, hear.) At present
the income of the Corporation was 10,0001. a-year, and the ex-
penditure amounted to 6,0001., but under the Bill, as it now
.stood, the Corporation would be obliged to lay by 6,000/.
for the burresses and their wives, so that they would be
obliged to levy a new tax to make up for the expenditure.
Mr. C. K. TYNTE presented a petition from Yeovil to
the same effect, and also one complaining that that town had
been excluded from the Bill.
Mr. G 0 ULBOU RN said the name of Yeovil still stood in
the Bill.—( Laughter.)
Mr. ELPHINSTONE presented a petition from Hastings,
regretting that the Bill had been so much mutilated, and pray-

big the House to reject it.
Mr. LENNARD presented one from Mahlon to the same
effect ; and one from Havering, which was originally in the Bill
but had been struck out on the most partial evidence given in
the House of Lords. They stated that a population of 7,000 was
goveincd by three magistrates, who were armed with all the
power of county magistrates, and that two of them were appointe I
by a person who, some years ago, had purchased the right of
nominating them. They prayed that their case might be taken
into consideration.
Mr. L A BO IiCHERE presented a petition mote nume-
rously signed than any he had ever presented, from Taunton,
praying that the House would not agree to the alterations made
by the House of Lords in the Municipal Bill. He agreed so
far with the petitioners, as that many of these alterations were
of such a nature, that the House of Commons could not con-
sistently with its duty to the public pass them.
The SPEAKER sugegsted that any petitions which Hon.
Members had to present on that subject, *Right now be handed
in without comment. Any which Hon. Members wislied to
offer obseruations upon had better be deferred.
Petitions were then presented by the Attorney- Geru3rab
from the Provost and Town Council of Edinburgh, and from
St. Andrew's, in favour of the Bill—by Sir Robert Peel,
from Kingston-upon-Hull, signed by 690 person, praying
that no proceedings might be adopted by that House
to destroy the co-equal power of the three branches
of the Legislature—By Mr. C. Buller, from Liskeard, against
the Lords' Amendtments to the Bill—By Mr. Lewis, to the
same effect, from a place the name of which we did not
_hear—Bv_ Lord ,Stormont, frolln_ 3,000 inhabitants of Bris-

fr.c.l-a 17atli7a;.e othor againsi; the Lords'
amt:Tdruents and prayirg House to stop the supplics—By
Lord Ashley, in favour of the smended Bill—By M. R oe'ouck,
ff;na 7,000 inhabitants of 13ath again .3t the Lord's amend-
ments, find from the Bath Political Union to the same etiott,
and reminding the House or a period " when a patriotic
House of Commons had voted the House of Lords a
nuisinice."—( Hear. )

Sir W. FOLLETT presented a peAtion azairot the Bill,
from Bath.

Mr. ROEBUCK could prove that the signatures to this
petition had been surreptitiou.ily obtained, under the impres-
sion that the petition was in favour of the Bill in its original
state, and agaitra the amendments made by the House of
Lords.

Sir W. FOLLETT—AII their names and addresses are
attached to the petition.--( Cheers from the Opposition.)
Mr. ROEBUCK—That does not militate against what
say.—( Cheers from the Ministerial side of the House.) I
put it to the Hon. and- Learned Member that he ought to
to withdraw this petition.--j(Cries of " Oh.")
The petition was laid on the table.
Colonel S I Wl' II olt PE presented a petition from Boston
against the Bill.
Similar petitions were presented by Lord Stormont and
S]r H. Hardinge, and against the Lords' amendments, by Mr.
Parrott, Mr. Blamire, Mr. Peaie, Mr. WaileY ond Mr. E. J.
Stanley.
Lova JOHN PUS-SELL presented several petitions to the
same effect; one from Bristol, signed by 13,700 persons; an-
other from Worcester ; one from Lowther and Wisby ; one from
Dumfries, signed by 590 persons; from Louth, from Wallsall,
signed by 2,500; from Scarborough, from Yarmouth and
from Prescott, signed by 5,500. The Noble Lord stated
that the general prayer of all the petitions was, that unless the
Corporation Bill was restored to the state in which it left that

House, it should be rejected.—( Cheers.)
Here the SMAKER left the House for a fcw minutes, and,
en his return,

Colonel PERCEVAL rose to request permission to read
4 letter from the officers of the the 25:h Regiment of Foot;
but the statements of the Hon. Mt mber were completely
drowned in the cry of " Lord John Russell, order, chair, and
another cloy."
The SPEAKER said Lord John Russell was in possession
of the House,

Lord JOHN RUSSELL rose argiist considerable cheer-
ing, and addressed the House as follows :—Sir, I rise with
considerable anxiety to propose to the House the consideration
of the amendments which have been proposed by the House
of Lords to the Bill which passed the House for the reform of
Municipal COrporations. Sir, I think this cuestion does not come
simply before the House, as one comprising only the good
or the mischief of the alterations made by one House
of Parliament to a Bill passed by another. Sir, the numerous
petitions weich have been presented to the House this evening,
and those which I 'myself have had the honour to
present most numerously and most respectably signed,
shew that there is a great degree of excitement prevailing
upon this question—(Cries of " Oh ! oh !" from the Oppo-
sition, and " Cheers" from the Ministerial side of the House)—
and that there is a dread, a more than ordinary dread, that we
should agree, or assent in any manner, to alterations made by
the Lords, which might in any way compromise our character.
or credit as representing the people whose interests we are
sent here to represent. Sir, 1 must say, that there
is a great degree of excitement existing in many places
and that if, in some respects, it is great beyond what I should
think the exact importance and value of the amendments
we have now to consider, I believe that that excitement
has, in a great degree, been caused by the manner no
less than—(The cheering here was so very loud as to
render it impossible to catch the finish of the sentence.)
Sir, I feel persuaded, that if, in the ordinary course of our
Legislation a Bill which had passed this House in its first, se-
cond, and third-reading, without a division, had been taken into
consideration by the House of Lords, and that they haa made
simply such alterations as appeared to them to be necessary to
correct any defects, or to add such claused as appeared to them
improvements upon the frame-work of the Bill, the temper
Of the country would indeed be very different. But Sir, I
am sorry to say that though the Bill was not immediately
opposed in the House of Lords upon its principle, there was
sent through the county opinions so disparaging to
to the House, to the Bill, and to the people for whose
benefit it was intended; a great degree of irritation was felt,
and that irritation was increased tenfold, when a gentleman
was called to the Bar of the House of Lords and permitted—
(" Oh, oh," loud cheering, and cries of " Order")—to indulge
in language—in such language as was there heard—language
not used in defending the rights of any persons affected by
the Bill, but in language so disparaging to this Honour-
able House—(Hear, hear, hear)—that I think no House
of Parliament ought to have allowed to be used at their Bar.—
(Cheers.) If any one was to propose that counsel was to
be called to the Bar of this House—if a counsel at
that Bar rose to use words respecting the House of
Lords, which could be at all called disrespectful, I
would at once object to it, for I will never allow
the other House to be insulted at that Bar. Sir, I
must say then that proceedings of this nature, so begun
and followed up by calling a number of persons to their
bar—witnesses who could indeed take only one view of
the question, and who, therefore, with respect to these
corporations could only have one opinion. I must say that
these proceedings have caused, and I think justly, a feeling
of irritation among a large portion of the people of this
country. Had they entered upon a simple inquiry as to the neces-
sities of the case, it would have been well, but an opportunity
was taken of disparaging us, who are the representatives of the
people, I have felt it my duty to say so ranch upon this question.
I will not further allude to it now, but let it pass over, in the
hope that the like will never again occur. Sir, I wish
to consider in what I have to say, the various amendments
made by the House of Lords in this Bill, and whether it will
be our duty, looking at the great principle which actuated us in
passing that Bill, we must reject or agree to these amendments.
But I thought that in the position in which I stand, I should
be in some degree betraying or compromising the dignity
and character of this House, if I had not taken some notice of
the proceedings which have taken place elsewhere.—( Hear.)
Sir, with reapoct tp the amendments themselves that have
been proposed, and are einbodied in the Hill which do have
now before us, there is, I think, a very great distinction to
be taken. It is a distinction which I shall take at once, be-
tween these parts of the Bill which constitute a future
governimg body fqr these Corporations in place of these placed
thereby by the old charters; dad the atis'ev pilqg 41
which only deal with those subjects which necessarily
came before us in considering the New Municipal Cor-
porations. In the latter part of this provision I should
inslude those provisions respecting the property hitherto
enjoyed by the freemen Poinglon: find natter )'hatters.
I should also include in it the right of freemen to vote for Mem-
bers, and some other provisions which I shall allude to. But the
first provision—that of the governing bodies is that of the most
important• muure for us to consider. I think if we can
make up our minds that with certain alteratiOns and re-
jesting certain amendments have been proposed
and embodied in the Bill, al sent d)wa to tis by the
House of Lords. There might be framed such a
reeasore as would give a governing body what should
for the titrei to came conduct the government ,cf
these towns iii seals a way that they will be for ever
after well and quietly governed. If we can covinee our-
selves that a great Reform can be obtained, of the
past evils acid the past mischiefs, and that for the future
his country, it will have the Municipal Corporations
acting with integrity and with vigour capable of at
once securing the interests of those inhabitants over whom
they preside, and preserving peace within their boundaries,
for the general benefit of the King's subjects. I
should say, in that case, that I will consider the Bill
with that so'e view of endeavouring to obtain that groat
end. 1 &sell hold myself' entirely unmoved by those
irritating pl.ssions and opposition—( Cries of " Hear, hear)—
which prevailed among some persons, in consequence of
the alte, ations which had been made in the Bill.—( Hear.)
1 will throw out of sight and out of mind what might have been
the original proposition, and whether that proposition may have
been the best, and I will say, that for the sake of the welfare of
this country, that we may not from year to year have these
subjects of contention--subjects of contention which not
only tffeet the subjects treated of by this Bill, but goes
a.. beyond those subjects, into questions of powers, privia
lever, the use and exei cis° of those pfivileges by different bodies
o' the Legislature. In order to got rid of such topics of pas-
s.cn a Id excitement, and with the view of obtaining a good
gaveri.ing b tdy. I am ready to say that I will forget and
forego every argument which might urge in favour of the pro-
posilan that was carried in this House. There are amendments
whi h have been made in the 1-lou4e of Lords in this part of the
which I think would not obtain the object they had in view,
it __that of obtaining a sufficient governing body, which
should iasp re confidence in.their constituents, over whom they
ere placed, and which should be permanent.—( Hear, bear.)
I must say, the; consider these incompatible with
.ha subject—(Hear)—the keeping up of which we have
in view, and the keeping the Tithe under the provi-
e'ons of this Bill, which has been hitherto considered as
the aldernianie part of the governing body.—( Loud cheers.)
I must therefore say, in the first place, that an izrazgaiwi of
pi ieciple that the great propesition was that the Muni-
cipal body should be elected from a • large constituency ;
bat this amendment not only preserves the title of Al-
dermen, but also keeps up tl:c principle of self. election. But
it goes beyond this; it was said that these persons were
included in the municipal POlinellsssneol9if .111414 a imly
three times their number, sent in by election, so far froth
tending to harmony, would do nothing but embarrass and
disturb the action of the municipal bo3y, which we wish
to be poweifal, and which wo wish to be popular.
I now come to another part of the Bill, which requires our
special reward and favour—l mean that whichroe ha
idereselates to the
town clef cries " Hear, hear," and lauzliter.
present town-Clerks .are tss r44-ino (Nrinfc fpeic padbehaviour,

behaviour, and to have the chargelause ofp
t
Corporation papers. Another clause
sh u'.d not be disqualified from acting as justices! clerks, wer4
when the registrar should think proper to act, at the sessions;
but I do not see that the introduction of such clauses will
tend to any thing but disorders, because the town-clerks being
in I:P44eion of 0 the charters and corporation documents,
may prevent tip examination of those documents by the
councils not only of towns, ha 40,9 of rulrogthi, and
fore the . original principle of the Bill in this respect
will be frustrated ; and I do not think that, with re-
gard to the Town-cleik , we should agree to any pro-
position to secure their continuance.—(Cries of " Hear,
hear.") I admit that the Justices, in consequence of
their corporate capacity arc Justices for life, but is it to be
said, that because no provision was made for their
continuance that they were disqualified. If men of
in whom their fellow

freenie could place confidence, would be disqualified from 1
remaining justices still.—( Hear.) I have stated at once those
parts of the alterations which I think quite inadmissible, because
it is impossible to have a new body under those alterations
free from the influence of -the old body, arid it Would con-
found the reformation, 'and the abuses of the whole cor-
porate systeM, and Would rather wait to reform the'.whole
than have parts of it left unreformed, leaving the strong-es
body Only in that situation.--( Hear, hear.) There is
a provision for setting aside the present Aldermen and
;he Lords wish to constitute tehm Aldermen for life, the
which there is one very obvious objection, which is. that you
appoint men for life who are adverse to the very principle :'of
the Bill, and therefore, not being of opinion that would be
good or wholesome, I would propose, not the rejection of the
proposal altogether, but I shall propose as an amendment,
that there shall be a body of :the same number as those
proposed the amendment, amounting to one. third
or one-fourth ; it all .the same of the Council, but
their existerire shall be shorter, that those chosen for
six years shall go out at the end of three years. If
the object of the amendment of - the House of Lords
is to secure that there should be some part of the Council
Wno should not be derived immediately from popular elec-
tion, and who should be persons of more permanent cha-
racter than those elected by popular election. I think that
object would be gained by the amendments I propose, while
at the same time I think the inconvenience of having
persons chosen for life would be taken away by the clause It
propose.—( Hear.) Another proposal upon which Ido no
propose altogether to dissent from the amendments made
by the House of Lords, although I think they go a
great deal too far in the amendments they have proposed,
with respect to wards. It will be recollected that at
the suggestion of my Noble Friend, the Msmber
for Lancashire, he enlarged the number of towns
to which the principle of wards applied, and we
smt the Bill to the House of Lords, with this
provision, that when there were twelve thousand- inhabitants
the borough should be divided into wards. My Noble friend
proposed that the boroughs should be divided into
wards where there were ten thousand inhabitants,
there was, therefore, no great difference between his pro-
position and mine. But the proposition made by the House
of Lords is, that where there is 6,000 inhabitants, the borough
shall be divided into wards, how what I propose is to
take 10,000 pr 9,000, as the minium.—( Hear and cheers. )
Sir, there is another amendment made by the House of
Lords with respect to justices recommended by the Council.
It was proposed in this House that justices should be
recommended first by the Council, but that they should
t act until they had received their Commission from his
Majesty.

The Noble Lord concluded by proposing that the House
should waive the earlier clauses, and proceed at once to the
consideration of that amendment which proposes that alder-
men should be Members of Council for life.
(LEFT SITTING.)

THE MEETING.--(THIS DAY.)

Sun Office, Six o' Clock.

We have just learnt the result of the meeting of
the friends and supporters of Ministers at the Fo-
reign-office this day. We have merely time to com-
municate the result, and must reserve all comments
until to-morrow.'

All clauses disagreed to that mix up the old with the new
Council.

Disagree to Town-Clerles and Justices and Aldermen being
for life.

Concede the appointment of Aldermen, who shall not be Jus-
tices, to be chosen by the new Council, those who go out not
to vote at election of future Aldermen ; to remain in office for
six years—half to go out every three years.
Disagree to all the clauses imposing tests.
Freemen to vote for Members of Parliament.
9,000 to be the numbers for division of town wards.
Agree to ale-house clause, as it may be changed hereafter.

. _
Agree to the qualification clause,.as by the Lords proposed.
Boundaries.—Agree to the Lords' amendments, viz. that the
revising Barristers shall fix boundaries, their decision not to
be final until approved by the King in Council.
The meeting was in general harmonious except upon the
qualification clause. Upon this clause Lord John Rus-
sell said, that any attempt at amending it would be so
unsatisfactory, that while he adhei ed to his original opinion
that there ought to be none, and that upon reconsideri-
tion of the question, still rather than endanger the Bill,
he would admit, this clause, as the Lords had passed it from
the conviction, that it would work its own cure ; and that
all classes, Whigs, Radicals and Tories, would come to Par-
liament and petition for a removal of so unjust a clause.
The Speakers were Messrs. Grote, Hume, Servant Wilde,
Lord Ebrington, Mr. J. R. Dennison, Mr. Harvey, and
Mr. O'Connell, who nas very conciliatory, and strongly ad-
vised union.
There were nearly 300 Members present.

A more important question, considering the conse-
quences involved in the result, never was presented to
the consideration of a deliberative body than that
which is this evening to be introduced to the House
of Commons ; and though it is difficult to discard the
indignation which involuntarily arises at the recent
conduct of the Peers, yet we trust that the friends of
the people will approach the discussion with that
calm dignity which becomes the representatives of
the sovereign power, and. which should naturally be
engendered by the consciousness of being engaged in a
righteous struggle, and having the intelligence, as
well as the might to secure victory. Fatuity and
frenzy should rather excite our pity thaii our anger,
even when combined with a despotic spirit, especially
when we reflect on the utter impotency of the idiots
and maniacs who, in a reckless attempt to do injury
to others, merely rush on their own destruction. The
question to be debated this evening is not alone a
question of Municipal! Reform—a question whether
freemanfroudidently admitted to the municipal bodies
are to retain the. franchise and the right of disposing
of other men's- property for life in places wherein li
themselves have no interest—whether five-sixths of
the inhabitants of towns are to be excluded by the
imposture of a qualification from the advantage and
honourable distinction to which their own good con-
duct, ability, and the esteem of their fellow-citizens
might otherwise entitle them—whether every cerpoe
rate town is to have a body of Aldermen existing for •
life, nod by the Piefoio of irresponsible power blight-
' ing the interests, and opposing the free and fair ma-
nagement of -the affairs of every Corporation with a
pernicious and blasting influence, similar to that which
the hereditary Senate now employs against the pros-
perity and freedom of the whole nation. These are all
questions of grave and weighty import ; but there are
others involved in their solution of as great—of para-
mount consideration, such as, Whether Great, Britain
is to be governed by the laws of the freely-chosen re-
presentatives of her people, or by the dicta of some
two or three hundred oligarchs identified with no in-
tlustrial nor commercial interests in the State—respou.
sible to none for the exercise of their legislative powers
—influenced only by the desire of perpetuating 16
abuses on which they batten, and trampling \yen the
rights of those on
.whose debasement they found tl:,eir
own aggrandisement ;—whether such oligarchs are not
alone themselves to malign the delegates of the people,
but even publicly employ counsel fo; 04e purpose of
impugning the conduct of the House of Commons,
and pouring forth PIO scandalous abuse and invective
against Mpasure to which it had given its sanction,
_whether the Premier is to be insolently threatened
with impeachment for introducing a Bill supported
by the great bulk of the people—whether, in fact,
the people of Great Britain are in future to be
slaves or freemen, that is the question. Such being
0
the case, the intense interest with which the people
look to the pieee(linoil of their representatives this
Gyouing cannot excite surprise. To-night commences
the preliminary of a contest between the oligarchic and
' democratic principles,. and concession from the one is
to be attained only by the eneTgetic action of the other.
The less i!isYle CIC the Peers are awaking to their dan-
ger, 414 those who lately spurned the idea of a confe-
rence are beginning now to talk of a compromise. But
what compromise can take place on matters so vital
to the prosperity and freedom of the Commonwealth
as those which we have enneiateil :A Why do
the Pee 7 praA4.. • a compromise ? Because they
well know that the controul of the supplies being
vested in the House of Commons, its Members may,
when they please, exert the supreme authority
of the State ; and never were the Commons so impe-
ratively called upon to exert such authority as at the
present moment. Will they exercise their constitu-
tional authority ? We hope, and believe it. I:Ct*Y.
act of the Mirsstry keilc to 4enfirrii our confidence ;
the eespemsiluilty imposed upon them by factious usur-
pation Is great,--is awful ; but let them persevere in
their firm adherence and faithful allegiance to the great
principles at issue ; and.whether in a majority or mi-
nority in the House of Commons, the people will se-
cure their success, and liberty will achieve another
triumph, the more glorious as it will be peaceful.—
