Lord john Russell aninadvrrled the extraordinary
course followed b? the LORDS in hearing Counsel and
taking evidence; hut lie decidedly OF opinion that
the Commons should, nntw outstanding, consider tho
anne ndmcnts deliberately, aud agree to all OF them not
inconsistent with the "cct and principles on which The
bill founded.
We understand that the meeting was disposed 10 agree
10 most of the amendments OF The Lords, with the
exception Of those saIctonng the election Of Aldermen
and Town Clerks for liic the continuance Of Justices CT
Peace for ]fc tie division Of burghs into wards, sPc
Gifted in the amended Dill, and dcprivng Disscnrrs of
of their right share in ecclesiastical patronage and Of
their eligibility to tr Council
There was some difference Of opinion the rrcn-
ton Of the quafcalion but persuaded that this
amendment will lead to disagreement i'll the end.
No wards i'll BurnugIs, unless where there are !,OpO
inhabitants.

but not till approved by the King in Council.
1t is quite CERTAIN, that there b. no serious
difference Of opinion among the Liberal Members OF tho
House Of Commons.
The Lords will, it is clear have The merit of rejecting
the Bill should ultimately he rejected after the com
municalion which will he made to them b. the Commons
But trust they will now be guided by moderate and

The Lords may delay the Corporation Bill! for few
months but the chances are, tia, whcn it again brought
before tcm, they will have power to tear it to pieces

the part Of fools of reasonable men, 10 insist
what is plainly unattanahIc. Ministers cannot and will
not, consent to adopt ANY, amendment inconsistent with
the prlnc Piles OF the BILL and it the Lnrds insist such
amendments the question: that will be brought under dis

in every public meeting throughout the kingdun will
