| On the 9Th instant several votes were taken i'll
committee of the whole, on amendments proposed
by opponents of reform; and in all of them the
government obtained signal, if not decisive vic
tories. The clause under consideration was the
one relating to the county franchise. The chan
ceor of the exchequer intimated that the govern
ment were willing to withdraw the proposal to
give votes to leaseholders in boroughs but to Mr.
WalpoIe's amendment fixing the county occupa-
ton franchise at $50 they would make most de-
termined opposition. The Ella franchise fixed by
the bill was a concession to the opposition party
in view of the fact that Flo franchise had
been frequently sanctioned by the House and had
been incorporated in the reform bills of "a and
$50. Mr.. Gladstone stated that the GA franchise
would admit Ill 900 new voters, whilst the EGO
franchise would admit but 115 000 Lord Stanley
moved postponement of the clause with the OBJ
iect of defeating all the franchise projects
until the redistribution scheme should be
disposed of. He feared that if the fran
chise bill should get through, the government
would drop the other scheme altogether. Lord
SANKEY'S motion was, of course, intended to de-
feat the whole programme of reform, as he and
his party are even more hostile to redistribution
of representation, than to an extension of the
