REPRESENTATION OF THE PEOPLE.

Dar. I.DUNCOMBE;;;;tomove the following motion,
of Which he had given notice, and which stood on the
Paper.—

"That it is the opinion of this house that it will be their
duty to lose no further time in giving such complete effect
tothe act of the last reign, whereby reforms were made in
representative system, as shall carry out the subse-
Tient recommendations of the Crown, and fulfil the just
txhe pectations of the ho people."
n. member said that he had altered the terms of his
resolution in order not to interfere with the bills of his
1x,1141111' friends the members for E ,st Surrey, and for 'Leeds,
0- Which he approved of fully. With respect to the
bill introduced by the noble lord (Lord J. Russell) last ses-
sion, he said its hot being passed was no loss to the cause
of reform, and was an event for which the country was
not inconsolable. ' (Laughter.) When the question stood
over in consequence of the fate of that bill he did not ex-
pect it would have been; indefinitely postponed by Govern-
ment, and he designated such postponement as humiliating
to reformers, discreditable to Ministers, disrespectful to the
Sovereign, and insulting to the people.. (Hear, hear,
and laughter.) The noble lord (the member for
the city of London) had twitted the house with
the assertion that the country was satisfied with the Re-
form Bill of 1832, but he denied the accuracy of the asser-
tion, and referred in support of that statement to the fact of
the late Government being compelled to introduce a mea-
Mire of reform. (Hear, hear.) That bill was not satis-
factory, and it was on the faith of the present Govern-
Izent bringing forward a satisfactory measure of reform
that they were placed in power. (Hear, hear.) He denied
also that there was any compact amongst Reformers with
l'espect to the principle of finslity, for which the noble lord
(Lord J. Russell) had formerly advocated, and he for one
never considered the bill of 1832 complete. He was now
in that the spirit of that bill had evaporated
;4 the altered circumstances of the time, and that a
large measure of reform was imperatively required. He
ePpealed to the Government to introduce a comprehensive
measure. If they didnot adopt that course reformers must
endeavour to get r form, bit by bit, as was proposed by the
on. members for East Surrey and Leeds until they could
obtain a Government with a heart brave and a hand strong
enough to grant a reform measure which was suited toenoughLl.
,01 necessities of the time and the wishes of a patient and
loyal people.
4.l,Sir G. C. LEWIS having referred to the alterations in
resolution, which consist of the omission of words to
the effect that the Government should take the course pre-
scribed immediately after the publication of the census this
year, said that the present resolution was superfluous and
nugatory ,considering that there were two measures before
the house on this subject.

did not think that the resolution was of
ally value, for he (Mr. Bright) had lost all
faith in, official promises, which he at present
regardnd as worse than nothing.
esßesides, even if
the Government should adept his wish, they could not
introduce any measure on this question until the bills al-
luded to had been disposed of. He would, therefore sug-
gest to his hon. friend to withdraw his motion. (Hear.)
Mr. T. DUNCOMBE said that he had no wish except to
promote the cause of reform, and he would accede to the
suggestion of his hon. friend the member for Birmingham
and not press his resolution.
The motion was Accordingly
withdrawn and the sub'
dropped.
