Lotd STANLEY presentedafeti don, signed by 5,500 of the
inhabitants of Manchester, praying that when circumstances
iourable to such a measure should occur, the privilege of returning
Members to Parliament might be extended to them. The Petition,
he bald, was signed most respectably, and bad been agreed to at a
numerous nesting, consisting of inhabitants of all classes and opi-
nions. it was their wish that, if the elective franchis► lhoukl be
extended to them, the nualification would be so fixed as to secure a
respectable body of constituents, and prevent those disorders which
so often °count elections.

Mr. PHILIPS supported the Petition. The inhabitants of

Manchester were most desirous to be represented in that House.-t-
When ibe other great interest', the ag'rkultural and commercial,
Were fully represented, they thought it but just that tbe manufac-
turing should enjoy the sante advantage, such at present was not the
ease. If Penryn ehould be disfranchised, he trusted the franchise
wolild be given to Manchester.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL supported the Petition. The prayer
'of it was, • sufficient answer to those whe upon former occasion
asserted that Manchester and Birmingham and other large town
felt no desire to be represented in Parliament.
Sir EDMUND CARRINGTON thought that the present Pc.
thins was ill-timed and ill- jedgeL When the question relative to
the disfranchisement ofPenrya should have been adjudged, it
would then be time enough to decide on the clainia that might be
advanced in favour or Manchester, Birmingham, or any other cow
siderable town In the Empire.
Mr. CALCR AFT said the Petitioners merely prayed that they
might be allowed to lend Representatives to Parliament without
any allusion to Penryn. It had been said that they had no wish to
be represented, and the Petition *as intended principally as an
answer to that aesertion. it appeared to him highly desirable that
those great towns which had newly arisen in different patti of the
country, should have Representatives in that House.
The Petition was read and ordered to be printed.
