DISRAELI—Why, the Prime Minister had not a freehold, but they had no means of removing him without telling him the reason. The Noble Lord said himself that no man ought to be dismissed unless he conducted his business in such a manner as was unsatisfactory to his employers. Why Mr. Day was, dismissed without any reason being assigned, and that not even in an official manner. The manner in which Mr. Day was appointed was as follows:—He had not a public friend in the world, but he published a pamphlet before the reform of the old law was contemplated, and he reformed his own parish on the principle of the 43d of Elizabeth, he described the reforms which he effected in that pamphlet. Having no public friend, it was the last effort of a desperate man; for every one who ever wrote a pamphlet must admit that no one ever read it. In 1831, when the Government introduced their plan, they were looking out for clever men, who, to use the fashionable language of that House, could carry out their system, a Noble Lord, resident in the county to which Mr. Day belonged, said there is a distinguished country magistrate who reformed his own parish see to him, he has written a pamphlet. The pamphlet was sent to the Minister, who read it. Mr. Day was sent for, was offered the post, which he accepted, and he became a zealous officer.—(Hear, hear.) He was sent to that part of the kingdom which was declared wholly and the most incapable of reform, South Wales.—(Hear, hear.) He did reform it. Was it any wonder, however, that he should have become unpopular ? In his labours, however, he broke his leg, and when he had recovered, he wrote a noto, to say that he was still prepared to resume his labours. In reply to that communication, he received a letter, marked private, which merelyPhobnreeiwvnacamslvi :d'utso system supporte n tt ;v al) su t advised him as a friend to send in his resignation, Now in all this there was a great deal of hardship and arbitrary conduct. Mr. Day bad broken up his establishmentwhere, on a moderate income, he in his county, supported a large family. He zealously conducted the duties of his office, accomplished what was admitted to be a most difficult task, and received a compound fracture in the service of Cr, but o wvhr Mr.ne Government, De anwyt , a brought hsi wroyeun:ehu inthagn trobtthl hardly these s7rheee ri' ea credentials possible,taoi facts. would tl hslss d.t g 3. confidence in him.

Mr. FERRARI) said, that after the speech which had been made by the Noble Lord, it was most unfair of him to press the measure. The Hon. Member for Finsbury was determined to answer it, and he, for his part, was determined to offer every opposition to her Majesty's Government, if they attempted so unconstitutionally to press the second reading.—(Hear, and cries of" (h.") And now, as to a question personal to himself, he desired that the Noble Lord would explain what statements of his were unfounded which he made on Monday last; he alluded especially to those statements which he had made in reference to the manufacturing districts. Ile asked the Noble Lord to stand up in his place and state what was the statement he had made. Mr. VILLIERS said he had stated that they took peasants from the agricultural districts, and sold them as slaves in the manufacturing districts. He said also, that they murdered children in the workhouses. These were two of bis misstatements, and the House need wait no longer. Lord
