New YORK, May 29.-The Herald's
London special, dated last night, says: In
the House of Commons, at an early hour
and after an exciting debate, the question
of the borough franchise right, az embodied
in Mr.. D'Israeli's reform bill, was settled
on the bass of household suffrage. The
compound householder plan, which was at
first proposed, is practically abolished.

borough town is to pay his tax rates per-
sonally instead of through the landlord and
so secure the right of voting. In the mat
ter of the franchise qualification in the
counties, il has been voted that the settled
occupants of lands or tenants, worth the
sum of twelve pounds, shall enjoy the right
of voting when duly registered. The gov
eminent at first proposed that the value of
the lands or tenements should be fifteen
pounds. The Liberals, in opposition, wanted
to have it fixed at ten pounds, 80 compro-
mise took place in the House, when twelve
pounds was agreed on as the amount of
value of the lands or tenements. .
