The Reform Bill was brought up for its second
reading in the House of Lords, on the 9Th 1t
was supposed that the question would have been
taken before the close of the sitting of the 10th
as Earl Grey had issued circular, requesting a
full attendance of the friends of the Bill that even
ing. After a long and spirited debate, however the
question was again adjourned. The Duke of Wei
lington made strong speech against the Bill on
the 10Th. The Earl of Haddington has given no.
tce of his Intention should the present bill be lost
to introduce n bill by way of compromise of this
agitating question.
Lord Warnclitfe made able speech in favor of
allowing the bill to be read second time, and sent
to a Committee of the Whole. 1t could there be
amended, or perhaps got rid of altogether
In the course of the remarks of the Duke of
Wellington, in dsputing the benefits TO the French
OF their late revolution, lie stated the important
fact, that at no period during the reign of Louis
XVIII. and Charles X, did it require more than
from 500 to 1000 men to keep the peace of Paris;
but since the revolution, there has not been month
in the course of which 5000 men in arms have
not been necessary for the same purpose.
Lord Peterborough made a very able speech
against the Bill on the 9th.
The debates were very animated, and, at times,
much more personal than have been usual in the
House of Lords.
The Morning Chronicle speaks doubtingly as to
the result but is rather inclined 10 believe that the
bill will be ordered 10 second reading by d very
small majority.

Tory paper, says, at appears be anticipated that
the Reform Bill will be carried, according to some
who effect to be wise these points by six or ac-

by small majority.
LONDON, April 1.-THE debate on the second
reading of the Reform Bill is again adjourned.
All sorts of reports are in circulation on the sub
Ject of the division. Some think that the motion
OF the Duke oil buckingham will have the effect of
depuyIng ministers of several votes. The general
pcrsuasion however, is that Ministers will carry tho
second reading by small majority. Provided on
ly there be majority, the smaller the better it
will render IT the necessary to the bill
against any mutlation in its subsequent stages
The Duke Of Buckingham, by strengthening tho
minority, may thus unintentionally be the means
of promoting real reform.
The motion of the Duke of Buckingham was to
be made only in The second reading should be
negatiyed. In that case, IT was his intention, he
said, on the 10th of April, to bring in bill for
giving two representatives in Parliament TO those
large towns, which by their opulence and CONNER
clal Importance, were entitled to be represented,
although at present they were not represented.
This would be the first object Of the bill A second
object of the bill would be to conjoiD and consoi-
date certain boroughs, each OF which now returned
two members to Parliament so as to return two
members for the consolidated boroughs; the purpose
Of this being to prevent the Inconvenience of an adj
diton to tho present numbers of the House Of Com
mons by the introduction Of members for places not
before represented. And third provision Of tho
bill would be to extend the elective franchise to
persons not now entitled to vote, as to prevent
the abuse of the elective franchise in boroughs
