BRITISH Parliamentary REPRESENTATION. - 1t
seems that twentynine little antigua'ed towns,
with populations ranging from 1000 1900 up to
nearly 10000, return one member each; and forty
two other little old fashioned towns, with popuIa-
tioDs no larger, actually send two members each,
or eighty-tour members amongst them. The ag.
gregste population Of these forty t1o boroughs re.
turning eighty-four members is only $4,000,
whereas Finsbury which returns but two members,
has 323 900, Liverpool 100000 Manchester 3l60 600,
Marylebone $40, and the Tower Hamlets t39, ,OO0;
SO that when the Ii, use divides upon any vital
question, those eighty -four members may put the
Tower Hamlets people in a minority Of eighty
two, although the aggregate population they rep
resent is less than that of the Tower Hamlets by
more than quarter OF million. The population
of this single borough exceeds that of the whole Of
these seveDty-one boroughs by nearly 70.000-a
number sufficient by itselfto form one large or
several small constituencies.
