a. spst it, In she midst OF the debate last niYnt
the House was all but counted out Lord JohA himself
having to run for it 10 his own measure Rom the
fate which has exhnguished 90 many foolish
| subjects and so many dull speskeFs as yet ~
is impossible to love to admire tho bit OF statistics
called Reform bill. IL is but CRAB stock OF the
sourest and huDgIest quality, and the House ID invited
to graft there its more genial fsnees Nobody
quite succeeds embooyiDg 10 his mRds eye tue soft
OF people will enranchse. SIR John Pakington, in
deed and others like him, hold that tse sx-pounders
are democralical rabbe, who Will oyoEpowee the IN
teilgence and property OF the country, aud carry
cards them as a diecontented class, who will al
gays lend q ready esr TO demagogues. Mr. Mas
sew thinks they Will sill be very seleot
body too select hs tase, and thaE tney VIII not
tnrn lhe State side down. The great defect OF .ne
old Reform act we are told by side, was taat i.
did lot give the working classes the- due snare OF
power; this bill is to get that right. Mr; nhsn'
however assures that it will tau OF thai OBJECT aoa

that end attained by more direct ana spesoy
methoo but, AS 1t WAS preciSey AZ shs
pojnt of bis specnaiions that the House mad
dwindled down to % we must suppose hs estimate OF
the bill to be shared by many Yet there Is hsfdly
memper OF the House who speaks OF It heartily. Ins
very mover has told all the world some years Dack
what be wonld ike If he could have ms own way,
though il is very certain that bill after his "n

There is 10 Disgusting il, the bill Is painful daty
and half the HOuse would gladly compound Tor aay
