that, the,'Aisfranchisemoht insist be still:nil:ire 'ett:tensint,
and it may deprive the nation of one of its 'best represen-
tatives whenerer the present Parliament conies to an end.
The moat decided effect of the disfranchisement of many
,of the. lower classes, pill be the increased preponderance
of property in the Legislature ; and it is not impossible
that, regardless of party distinctions of Whig and Tory,
now• almost merged in the one general character of free-
traders, one great object of the upper classes may be to
ensure that preponderance, and diminish the influence
of numbers.

Both Whigs and Tories have their registration
societies and registration agents, who will take care
that their friends are not rejected. At the same time the
amalgamation of parties may make them both indifferent
on the subject, and the poorer voters in the larger towns
may find no person to defend or advocate their rights.
Speedily, however, the Registration Courts will be open,
and the disfranchisement may be even greater than Man-
chester indicates, if some steps be not taken to defend
the franchise of the lower classes. Sir R. PEEL has con-
vinced us that the Registration Courts are the keys to
the constitution of the House of Commons. Possibly,
in this emergency, a Registration Society might be
formed totally irrespective of parties or political opinions,
having for its object to secure for any man entitled to
vote, his place on the register, or to get his name in-
scribed on it. A very small contribution from each one

of the many persons interested might suffice to pay all
the expenses of such a Society, and secure professional
assistance to watch over the rights of the ten-pounders
in the Registration Courts. The Tory and Whig Re-
gistration Societies have for their object the disfranchise-
ment of those they suppose to be their opponents, as well
as the enfranchisement of their friends. The Registration
Society should take no objections—should disfranchise
no man, but should secure, as far as possible, the fran-
chise for every person entitled to it. Such a society
might now, we think, do something to lessen the present
disfranchisement, which is in progress, and to point out
the means by which in future much of it might be
avoided.

It is now ten months since it was discovered that
there was a considerable number of forged Exchequer
bills in circulation. Immediately all the Exchequer
bills then in circulation were called in to be examined,
and 236, to the amount of 236,0001., were detained as
forgeries. On the whole, no less than 377 bills were re-
ferred to the Commission. The titles to such a mass of
property, involving the credit of the Government, re-
quired undoubtedly to be dealt with most carefully, but,
at the same time, most diligently, that individuals might
not be injured or ruined by their resources being locked
up. A demand was accordingly made on the Govern-
ment for speedy and even instant investigation, and on
the opening of Parliament great expectations were en-
tertained that no time would be lost in examining into
the subject, and either admitting oK rejecting the liability
of the state to pay the amount of those bills.

Considerable disappointment was caused by the pro-
crastination of the Chancellor of the Exchequer,
and at length, when he merely introduced a Bill to con-
stitute a Parliamentary Commission o! inquiry, which he
might have done on the first day of the session, many
of the holders of the bills felt that the Government was
trifling with their interests. It was the latter end of
April before the Commission was appointed, and it made
its Report on the 2d instant, having used all duo dili-
gence in the investigation. The Commissioners, how.
ever, were only authorised to inquire into the issue
and circulation of those bills, and into the manner
they were obtained by the parties holding them;
and accordingly their Report, some of the principal
points of which we yesterday laid before our readers, is
entirely confined to these objects. It gives no recom-
mendation whatever as to the manner of dealing with
the holders. The only part of the Report which bears
an appearance of a recommendation, is the statement
that some parties received the Exchequer bills in the
ordinary way of business, and to them no suspicion what-
ever attaches ; that others did notuse due caution, though
they received these bills in the ordinary way of business;
even for them the Commissioners suggest excuses : and
thafothers are exposed toa doubt, whether they did not
suspect RAPALLO obtained the bills he deposited with
them by some kind of fraud. The Commission, therefore,
