REFORM RILL.

Lord ALTIIOIIP, on die order of the day being read,
intimated o with that the House 3110111t1 sit in Committee a
little lam tha, night, as be was desirous to get through all
h clauses of die Reform Bill except one, which was to have
some more consideration on the following night.
Sir IL SUGDEN said he had ro wigs to tbr►.w any ob-
ttaeles in the way to prevent the bin passing through Com-
mittee More the coronation.

Mr. WILKB said he would consent to withdraw sonic of
his &madmen's, of which he had given notice.
LOrti U. rOMERSET could nut acquiesce with the re.
quest of the Chancellor of ti.e Exchequer, not to debate
•he clauses, agile iud a clause propose relating to Wales.
'a he House went into Committee ou the Reform Bill.
Clause 45 was put, and agreed to.
Clause 48 was put, and agreed to.
Clause 47 was put, and agreed to.
On Clause 48 being put, a long conversation followed.
The clause was agreed to.
Clause 49, enacting that different booths for taking the
1.611 shall be appointed for different parishes of a borough,
and that the booths shall be subdivided into comparunents,
so the. no greater number than 800 voters shall poll at each
compatuncnt, teas then put,
Air. HUNT said the clause enacted that notice of the
situation, division, and allotment of the different booths,
should be given by the returning officer to the candidates.
He cumplal. ed that the candidates were too much taken care
of, while the electors were neglected. How was an elector
to kuuw at what compartment of a booth he was to vote. He
undcrs.ood the elector could not vote unless be presented
himself at the cumpartment alluted to his district. Notice
of the allotmen, a. d situation of the booths should be given
to the electing..

Str C. WETHERELL said, the returning officer, not
knowing what portion of a parish coin' riscd 000 electors,
would not be able to allot the compartments.
Mr. S'i AN LEY said, the mode adopted in the clause had
been in operation in the two last general elections. (Hear.)
Sir E. SUDDEN observed, that in the two last general
elections, the constituency was not so numerous as it would
now be. _

Lord A LTIIORP could not see bow the augmentation of
the constituency would render the system more difficult. It
would cause the compartments to be more numerous, but
would not change the mode of their formation.
Mr. HUNT admitted that booths had been divided into
compartments, but a particular compartment had not hitherto
been allotted to a particular portico of the parish. He was
sure the member for Wiudaor had had a hand in the drawing
up of the present clause, and that his object was to prevent
the electors of Preston from knowing where they were to vote.
Air. WILKS thought tiu. number of booths unnecessarily
multiplied.
After a few words from Mr. STRICKLAND, Mr. Owen',
and Mr. FaxsuriELD, relative to the period when the re-
turning officer should declare the state of the poll,
Lord ALTHURP moved that after the words enacting
that the poll-books shall be opened the day after the last day
of polling, these words should be added :—Provided that
the returning officer may, if he thinks fit, open the poll-
books and declare the state of the poll, and make the return
immediately after the poll shall have been lawfully closed.
The amendment was agreed to.
Mr. AVILKS proposed as an amendment, that the booths
should be divided into compartments only in places where
the number of electors exceeded I,ooo.—Agreed to.
Sir R. GORDON proposed the addition to the clause of
the following words, " Provided that no nomination or re-
election be made in any place of worship."
After a few words from Sir R. Sugden, Mr. Croker, Mr.
Peel, and Lord Althorp, the amendment was agreed to.
The clause, as amended, was then declared part of the
Bill.

The CHAIRMAN read Clause 50, directing that booths
for taking the poll at elections should be erected at the ex-
pense of the several candidates.
Mr. HUGHES HUGHES moved that the booths be
erected at the expense of the County, City, or Borough for
which the election was held.
Sir E. SUDDEN said the amendment was calculated to
induce strangers to go into Cities and Boroughs to break
the connection between persons of property in those places
and the electors.

Lord A LTHORP thought there would be no injustice
in throwing the expense of erecting the booths on the can-
didates.

Captain SPENCER thought the poll might be taken in
houses, which would save the expel= of erecting booths in
many instances.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL agreed that in many eases it
might be a great advantage to take the poll in houses, and
he thought there was nothing in the bill to prevent it.
Mr. HUGHES withdrew his amendment.
The clause was agreed to.
The CHAIRMAN read clause 61, requiring the return.
ing Aker to give lists of the electors for each booth.
Agreed to.

Clause 52, giving power to deputies of returning offc ts,
was agreed to without observatiots.
Clause 53, regulating the election for Monmouth And or,.
tributary lodrunglus in Wales—Agreed to
Clause 51 applied the elecdian laws to places appointed!
return Members nudtr this Act.—Agreed to.
Clause 55 imposed penalties on officers e. elections
ing their duties, and gave paths a 1,1 belt, gui tap,
actions against the officers, lbdi etre:Aids; 3001.
Lord ALTHORP thought ed: clause was on. necesrart,
and wished I.c .to be rout. id!ered a hen the report st.is
brought up.—The clause was agreed to.
Clause 56, disqualifyirg persone holtiing offices, was
agreed to without ohs.trvatio d.
Clause 57 imposed a renr.i.y of 101. on any person per.
sonati.dg an elector nt elsetior, ansl ...iwitialifying him front
vntlo:. at any (Ledo., ever after.
Mr. WII.KS moved titas the penal y 501.—Agreed to.
I. ass also resolved tls..t sise should be impris
whorled not exceedi'ig six mon.lts.
The clause so antensl.J was ag,reetl to.

at Lamer, a village about two leagues from the city of
Luxemburg. The number of electors inscribed in the lists

From the Journal du Commerce,

We find the following article in the Semaphore
of Marseilles :—" It is said that, immediately after
the resignation of M. Arnavon, sixty captains and
other officers will also give theirs. It is also said
that all these resignations are caused by the re-or-
ganization of the National Guard. If this re-
organization should take place, it will be an addi-
tional element of civil war."

The same Journal says, in another article—
•" Let the Governors reflect well; Marseilles is
the point to which the eyes of the whole south are
turned. Let civil war break out at Marseilles, and
it will soon be in the Var and at Vaucluse, in the
Gaud and the Herault. The Carlists are organised.
the Chiefs are appointed; they break out from time
to time, to give signs of life to their adepts and to
, feel the ground. The Duchess of Berry is at
Moose; Charles the Tenth has just arrived there
with a train of six carriages, if the letters from Ge-
noa speak the truth. A steam boat is engaged.
ready to put to sea at a moment's notice ; the
coasts of Provence are not too well guarded, and in
many places the exiles of Holyrood would find
friends ; thanks to the gentleness of the Director-
General of the Customs.

It is necessary that the southern departments
should be well governed. Men of pure intention,
and well disposed towards the Government, are
not sufficient ; they must be cast in a mould of
brass, and their souls ought to be as strongly tem-
pered as those of the most remarkable citizens of
ancient times or of our days."
