of June, and business is, expected to commence
on the 2lst The first struggle. between parties
will be the election of Speaker. By macy II
is tn ought that Mr. Manners Sutton will be ".fer-
ed peerase. with the usual pension. in order to
induce him to resign the chair; but should ne re-
sist this offer, a most violent attempt will be

and all the members for large and populous towns
are IN favor of the bill; while the great majority
of those opposed to it sit for their own or other
close borOughs. and thus in fact vote On their own
property, and from personal motives.
