TI,e Passn~e of the Reform nm

The following are the details in regard
to the passage of the Reform Bill as
brought by the steamer China, and pub
lished in the New York papers of the 9Th
The debate on the Reform bill was ro-
sumed on the Esd. Mr.. Bright made q
lengethened speech in support of the bill.
He said that the bill might be rejected
but the opposition, he argued, could not
deal satisfactory with the question. He
likened the position of the working class
es to that of the negroes under recent leg
islation in America, and asked the House
whether they wereprepared forever to keep
the bolt in the door which excluded the
people from constitutional rights. He
concluded with an eulOgium OF the bill as
a truly conservative measure.
Mr.. Whiteside censured severely Mr.
Gladstone's language at Liverpool, de-
preciating the House of which he is the
lender, and condemned the bill as an at
tack on the constitution. Mr.. Walpole
supported the amendment, and Mr.. Cos
chen defended the bill.
In the House of Commons on the 26th
debate on the reform bill was continued.

and was followed by a host of others, pro
and con, of lesser note.
On the 9th of April the final debate
took place. After many speeches Mr..
Disraeli wound up on the side of the OPP
position in a long and forcible speech, de-
nouncing Mr.. Gladstone's advocacy Of
American principles, which he regarded
as untitled for England.
At one o'clock on Saturday morning,
April 20, Mr.. Gladstone rose and made
the final speech, warmly defending the
American government and denOuncing
the opposition's tactics.
At three o'clock in the morning, amid
excitement, the division took place, the

Richmond Views OF the Reconstruct
lion ReD0rf,


The Richmond papers contain much
comment of a violent character upon the
report of the Reconstruction Committee.
The Enquirer calls it a disgrace to the
age, and adds that a more wicked and
barbarous policy than that which they re
commend new disgraced a council of
robbers or savages. 1t is without ashadow
of justice, expediency or common n
Il is war instead of peace, distraction in
stead Of reconstruction, alienation instead

would prove to be too great to bs volun-
tarily accepted by u for the mere name
Of being restored, the Committee econ

fications which would make restoration
not only utterly worthless, but standing

Government majority

W I&
There was tremendous cheering on both
sides of the House at the result.
The English papers generally regard
the vote On the second reading of THERE
form bill as a government victory only in
NAME, but in reality a defeat. There are
various speculations as TO the course the
Ministery will adopt.

msnt commenced the session with an esti-
mated working majority OF sixty, the bare
majority of five is, in fact, q voice of cen
sure, n no administration will hence
forth have 10 persuade the House of Com
mons to consider the reform proposals

The London Herald says: 1t is obvi-
Gus the bill is lost, but whether govern
ment will abide by its pledge and fall with
its bill. We are to learn on Monday.
1.-THE London Post says: There can be nc
doubt, although the Ministry have gained
n nominal victory theyhave, in truth, sus
tanned a fatal defeat. Nothing remain:
for them but to resign.
The London Star thinks the small ma
jority bodies i'll for an early and tranquil
settlement of the reform question, anC
looks for new delays aud fresh dificultiea
and confusion.
The scene in the House of Common!
during the division is described as one o
unparalleled excitement. The cheering
was taken up in the galleries in spite o
all rules and orders.
