worthy of notice II Ia needless 10 that almost com
plete unanmity prevailed. Those members VINO nave
made up their minds vote for Lord Grosvcnors amend

Lord Russell spoke for about an hour with empei .uu
Judgment and we have no reason TO complain nor oi .ne

since they are the best proof that tho criticisms OF our

Ssfore the Easter recess The attitude Of tho liberal
opponents Of piece meal reform has however,
Produced from Lord Russell declaration on
Tho subject Of the redistribution Of seats, which
marks a considerable advance In ministerial opinion
Lord Russell now states that the government WI speed

ominous Of unjust and unconstitutional manner
OF dealing with this question. IL was plainly suggested
before Parliament met that the lowering Of the franchise
