John Russell opened the debate, and explained lhe al.

upon proposing TO The committee. G. n. Giscoyyne an
sweied Lord John Russel!, aud Concluded a sp. ech Of

On he morning oi the % h, it is stated that the min.
i't9rs rendered their resigna,ioos, which we're declined
by ihe King. Blu. on The Plat, a stormy debate arose
on several questions connected with he Reform ques-
ion, when
Sir r. Vyvyan rose, and alluded TO various reports
which were abIOid-reports OF On intended dissolution

He was willing to allow the ill to 10 into a committee

MT wished TO ask the noble lord opposite, il be intend
ed TO proceed with ~ bill. or TO dissolve Parliament on
account OF the IN jority declaring that the representa-
ton OF England aud Wales should not be diminished.
Lord Aihorp, in reply, sold that in consequence of
the feeling OF he house on the subject as expressed by
the division on General GascoyBe's motion, il was not
the intention of his Mejesy's government O proceed
further with the bill; but with regard to the ether par,

Mr.. Robinson thought that ministers had acted wise

solve Parliament, and 10 wait for a more favorable occa
sion for again bringing it forward. Hs believed, and

When he said all reform he meant sa'utary reform,
which the people required, aud which would give theR
not a nominal influence, but a legitimate influence in
that House. (H.ar.)
Lord Morpsih thought, this resnlvs on a dissolution
showed the spirit aod wisdom of minister. Let their
constituents judge between the parties at issue.
Sir L. Forbes congratulated the House that the
measure was thrown overheard. Dissolution he thought
they would not dare to recommend, or that their advice
would be followed II hey dill. (Hear) Resignation

and thrown over the bridge on every measure, but
lhey could take to their steamboat and live on that

MIR. IL. Davis could show his constituents that the
Reform Bill was a Revolutionary measure, and so be-.
lieving, he was not afraid 10 meet them.
The debate, though desultory in its commencement,
was continued until a late bour-when
MIR. w. Banks rose and proposed an adjournment.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer said, that as the
adjournment was only moved in order that honorable
members might have an opportunity OF delivering their
sentiments on the question Of reform, and as during
the whole debate on the bill, not an honorable member
had confined himself to or spoken on the question be-
