SMALL BOROUGHS TO BE ENLARGED.

In introducing his new Reform Bill to the House of
Commons, yesterday week, Lord John Russell stated that
it was proposed to add the neighbouring towns and dis-
tricts to all boroughs which have less than 500 electors,
so as to increase the constituencies ; and he added that
the number of boroughs to which this principle would
apply was 67. It appears from Dod's Parliamentary
Companion for 1852, that there are about 62 boroughs
containing less than 500 registered electors. The follow-
ing is the list :

It will be seen that only one Lancashire borough (Clithe-
roe) is likely to be included in the list of those that are to
have their constituencies augmented by the annexation
of other places ; while Wiltshire has seven boroughs in
the list, and Buckinghamshire, Gloucestershire, Worces-
tershire, Sussex, Dors
