      of the system before they destroyed the right . Abuses of the franchise were as common in England a * in Ireland , yet it was never proposed to disfranchise four- * fifths of the people . The measure was denounced by Lord Palmers-ton as unjust , unnecessary , and impolitic : the

      persons whom it affected are mostly Catholics 5 and it would have the effect of leaving a Catholic question behind . Mr . Doherty shewed that the franchise had been frequently altered . Mr . Peel took hi « stand upon the evidence laid before the Committee in 1825 ; which shewed that frauds and perjuries existed among

      these freeholders : the alteration of the franchise would create a respectable and substantial yeomaury . Mr . Huskisson and Mr . Bankes proposed that the measure should be made prospective ; but ne notice was taken of the suggestion . The House went into Committee on the Disfranchisement Bill on Friday . Sir James Mackintosh observed that it was a " tough morsel ;' but as it was

      necessary to the attainment of emancipation , he had made np his mind to swallow it . The same inducement weighed with other members ; but not with Mr . Lennard and Lord George Bentincic , who determined to oppose the Bill at whatever risk . Lord Dime a nnon moved a resolution to the effect of purifying the exercise of the existing franchise , but not to abolish it . The amendment was negatived by 220 to 20 .

      The Editor very much regrets that the Rev . J . Brown , considering himself an aggrieved man , should have sent such a reply to Mr . T . Cooke , Jun ., as he cannot consider admissible into the Repository . Much of it is irrelevant , much personal towards an individual , distinctly pointed out though not named , and not hitherto

      involved in the discussion ; and it contains various appeals and challenges which , if inserted , would lay us under the necessity of opening our pages to an interminable series of personal recriminations . If Mr . B . will amend his reply go as to free it from these objections , we shall certainly hold him entitled to its insertion . Or if he will repeat to the Wareham Unitarians , sitid they accept , his challenge to a pereonal discussion , we shall be very ready to record the result , wheffiter it be the proof or disproof of Mr . Cooke ' s statement .
