GREAT BiIrAIN-THE REFORM BfEL.
Loadon, Oct. 8, 1881
Received by Express.
Three oNciOck-A meeting of the mem
bers of the House of Commons, held at
Willis's rooms, we learn has lust termin-
ated. Upwards of 300 were present !;
Lord Burlington was in the chair. This
meeting was only considered prelimina-
~ to one,of a more decisive character
for Monday, but the members were COM
Pletely unanimous in their determination
to support Ministers, and to take. the
most efectual and constitutional steps for
carrying the Bill into effect. Among
the two hundred persons present, there
was not one holding any official situation,
or otherwise connected with the Gov
eminent, except as the friends of this
great pleasure. They separated after
loud and repeated cheering of the senti-
ments expressed by the leading reform
ers, with an understanding and declara-
ton to each other toredouble their efforts
in support of his Majesty's Ministers, in
their wise and patriotic course. Since
writiaG the above, we have ascertained
that formal resolutions were passed, and
that they were of q very strong charac-
ter Courier.
Thank God, there arc ways by which
The invaders olthe rights and properties
OF the people can be managed. When 9
House of Commons leaves the Govern
ment and the ,netion-the remedy is a
dissolution. " hen the House Of Lords
stands out against the King and the ma
I@tlon, the remedy is a fresh creation oil
Peers. Without this remedy the Con-
stitution would fall to pieces, and the
peoPls would be left a prey to anarchy.
On Monday Lord Burlington brings on a
motion on the state Of public affairs in
the House ofCommons. The result OF
that vote may, Of course, be anticipated.
Ii will place the two Houses in collision,
and Ministers must either resign or create
new Peers to get over the difficulty
Lord Grey has solemnly stated, that he
will stand or fall by this bill, and that
nothing less efficient shall be supported
by him. Fellow Countrymen--let us be
iirm-let US be prudent, that we may en-.
sure tie victory which must be ours
with wisdom. The opponents Of the
Bill are playing desperate game. But
if we be firm and determined they must
be defeated Chronicle.
