GREAT BRITAIN-THE REFORM BILL.
LONDON, October 8, 1881.
Received BY Express.
Lord Grey pM not abandon the King AID
the People At moment of such anxiety as the
present. when every mind IS on the stretch, and
every conjecture aHoat to the probable course
which the Ministers will pursue, 1t Is with the
highest degree ol satisfaction that we are at least
nabled to assure our readers of this fact On
the precise line of conduct which it will be adv'-
sable to adopt, Ministers themselves, we have
reason to believe, have not finally decided. The
creation of sufficient number OF Peers to carry

House presents difficulties, it seems. which we
confess, are not apparentto Us. We would not,
however. press a measure, which, Ill the present
hour of difficulty, and almost Of dlsmay, might
tend to embarrass the Government and above all,
increase the personal annoyance to which his Ma
jestv has been subjected, by individuals whose
relative situation should have prescribed 10 them
IA very different course. As far as we have been
able t. ascertain, the course OF the Ministers will
be to move for Committee, in order that formal
cosnizance may be obtained of the fate of the Bill
sent by the House of Commons to the House Of
Lords.
This Committee having made their report that
the Bill was rejected by their Lordships, duti-
full but energetic Address to his Majesty will be
proposed, representing that the House OF Lords
had refused to concur IN measure OF Reform
which had received the most serious and deliber-
ate attention of the House of Commons. as well
as the sanction Of the whole nation whose senti-
ments had been expressed in the most une9ulvO-
cal manner. The Address will then pray his
Majesty to concur with his faithful Commons in
such Interior measures as may be deemed expe-
dent. We understand that, under any circum-
stances, Ministers intend TO recommend to his
Majesty to prorogue the Parliament, in order to
afford an opportunity for carving into execution
whatever measures may seem eXpedient tor the
public good. The Cabinet is to meet this after
noon at three O'Clock, IN order to deliberate on
the measures necessary to be adopted at the crl-
sis into which the country has been plunged by
the enemies of Reform.
Three o'cIock-A meeting Of the Members of
the House of Commons, held at Willis's rooms

This meeting was only considered preliminary to
one of more decisive character for Monday,
but the members were completely unanimous IN
their determination to support Ministers, and to
take the most efpctual and constitutional steps
for carrying the Bill into effect. Among the two
hundred persons present, there was NOT one hold
ing any official situation. or otherwise connected
with the Government, except as the friends of
this great measure. They separated after loud
and repeated cheering of the sentiments express
ed by the leading reformers, with an understand
ing and declaration to each other 70 redouble their
efforts in support Of his Majesty's Ministers. in
their wise and patriotic course Since writing
the above, we have ascertaned tia, formal reso-
lutions were passed. and that they were Of very
strong character. -C0urteF
