Baker , Esq ., coroner , and twelve _honts * . _residentaotthedistrict , who composed the jury Tbe jury baring viewed the body , , The Coroner said , he understood the _deeeaced bad died from fever ; tinder these oircum _; _tanctR it _vreuid te well to examine the medical tLeD ) and , perhaps , it might not be necessary to go further . W — . J _W-- & V- -HI _lUt-i _;

      F , _kedsbick Agar , surgeon to the Intirman attached te Bethnal Green Union , waa then sworn and examined by the Cororer . Ho said the decea'ed was a weaver , and had resided at Blackbird _Adec , Horse Ride , St John-street , Bethnal Gieen . and was _twenty-six yoara of age ¦ ha wa _ _admitted to the Inhrmary on the 12 th of Jane . _Decetiee . i reaiain < _= d atthe Infirmary nntil he died oa the 17 th instant , at twelve o ' clock at noon ; deceased walked tothehoue with the _assistance of two persons ; did not o . mplain of any mjury , was occasionally delirious , talked shout the Chartists and the police , told him ( witness ) that he was a Chartist -, he _treated the case as me of fever , called it typhus fever ; had a dispensary in tha house ; the remedies ho apiled wee

      blister to the neck and medioino ; did not perceivo any marks of violence on dec < ased ' a bedy , uor did _deceased complain of any ; ascribed deceased ' s death to typhus fever , and certified accordingly to tbe Regis _, trar of the district ; the death was registered j enterday ; had stated to Mr Fairchild , master . 1 ' _thhouse , and _subsequently _totbebsadle ( Mr Good-ii . j that he was _satUiied as to the cause of _deavb ; _ha-l afterwards heard that deceased ' s friends demanded an inquest ; thonght it proper that Dr Moore should open the body , and sake an examination ; was present at the post mortem ( ssarainaiion ; tbe b _. adl . thought ltmore satisfactory to deceased ' s frie _ds that a stranger to the parish should make the _txamiua . tion .

      The Coroner hero asked thejury if they wished to hear Mr Moore . A J . _rtj-ah thought they had better hear more evidence _Crat . Dr Moors said , he thought it right after he had incurred the danger of making the post _morten examination . that his evidence should be tak \ n . A Juror asked , were there any bruises on the body t _T he Coroner replied that Mr Agar had already stated there were not . A Jubtman said , the upper psrt of the body ap . pearcd literally smashed . TheCoROKER said that arose from decomposition , caused by the heat of the weather . A Juryman —But the other portion of his body does not show decomposition . A Jurthan again asked if there were any bruises on the bodv ?

      Mr Agar . —I did not observe any , ner did deceased complain of any . In answer to a _question from another juryman , Mr Agab admitted there waa a _coht-siun on the bod * . Edward Moore sworn : Was a doctor of medicine , a member of the College of Surgeons , and resided at Tnurloe-beuse , Hackney-road ; bad opened tb . _bedy of deceased after death . Examined the body _externally ; discovered a matk ot decomposition of the sacrum , probably a bed sore ; an abrasion on the neck , probably the result of the blister applied by Mr Agar ; great _pufSness on the right _sitte of the neck , like a bladder bslf filled with wind , also considerable _puffineas in the back part of the neck aBd muse es ot the same . He next removed the skull-capat the

      , par . thai ; was swollen , and discovered that tbe muscles were in a very contused and bruised _s'aw , on the right side only , which answered tothe pi . _ffiness within . He then removed the top of the skull —di-covered w > fracture , but an ingoiged stato ot tuu c . _veriQji of the brain . Opposite to tbe contusions externally , tho brain was softened , and hud evidently been inflamed , which had , in a great _decree , sub _. ided . The ventricles of the brain had a very small quantity of water in them . The upp _.-r portion ot tha brain , whioh was all he examined , _¦? __* highly _ingorged , in the same manner as the other portion of tho membrane . He then examined the chest . Opposite to the swollen portion of the right side , discovered adhesions between the lungs and plethora , some of which weie of recent date

      perhaps two or three weeks . The let ' s lungs were quite healthy—the heart small and contracted . He next examined the abdomen ; found tbe Jiver healthy , the spleen _ingorged with blood , the intestines were . lightly itilamed , but not ulcerated _, l hese were the principal things be had observed . He should consider the deceased died from fever . Coeoner . —Would all the appearances vou have described result from fever 1 Mr MoeRB . —No , tbey would not , He was _ineliaed to think deceased had brain fever before Mr Agar saw bim -, no doubt it ultimately assumed a typhoid oharacter , and that deceased was incapable of _describing to Mr Agar tbe character of his diseaso or its causes ; tkls was all he had to -ay . Mr Agar , in answer to a jurar , said , he did not think the deceased had fallen .

      I » r Moobe , in answer to a question by a juror , said , the inward injuries he had described were _caustd by external violence ; could not say whether the contusions were thei e betore fever ccouired ; violence would aggravate fever . He understood that the deceased had been under a dispenser of medicine Bix days previous to his being nnder Mr Agar ' s treatment . The _CoRON-m . —What was the nature of the restraint put on deceased when in the infirmarv ? Mr Agar . _—Aatraitwaistcrat . The _nmse _' putit on , because she could not restrain bim . Deceased had declared himself a Chartist , and appeared to make the declaration in tones of triumph . Had heard from his friends that he had been ill-used by the police . __ Believed that he would have recovered fr . _ n his injuries had he not had the fever . He was a well formed young man . 'lhe jury here intimated a desire to hear some of tbe friends of the deceased .

      Mary Simpson , wife of Joseph _SimpBOB , weaver , 49 , High-street , Great Garden-street , Mile End New Towd , was then sworn . Had known deceased since he was ten years of age , down to the period of his death . Had seen deceased on the Sunday he wss beat , last Sunday fortnight . Came to his _mother ' s house and saw him ; deceased toek off his shirt , and ssid , « See how shamefully I have been served . ' Deceased drew her attention to bi irises on hia neck , back , and body . Saw a mark of red across each ol his shoulders , and down his side , to his hips . Deceased -was much excited , and complained of having been beaten by three policemen , in Bird Cage Walk , _Stepney-road . The Corom-B said , this could not be received as evidence , even had the deceased uttered it himself , except he was at the time in full view of death .

      Mrs _S-SA- t _Hasshard , of 3 , Blackbird-alley , mother ofthe deceased , was then sworn . Her son was in a good state of health previously to his receiving the bruises , never bad a week ' s illness . He left bome on Sunday morning , June 4 tb , at nine o ' clock , quite well , and came home about twelve looking very pah ; examined her son's body the fourth day follow _^ this—and remarked that ( he _bruiBes weie going off nicely , when he observed , ' You don't kcow what 1 feel inwardly _; ' ho drooped continually afterward ., m til ha died . He bad applied to Mr _Osborne , chemist , Gi Brick-lane , who administered medicine , but did not apply any external remedy . Dr MeoRE in reply to the Coroner said , the description given by the witness corresponds with tbe _cor- > tusiona and appearances found on the post mortem examination .

      The Coroseb here inquired if Mr Savage had any evidence to produce , as to who had beaten the deceased ? Mr Savagx eaid he had not , it would be difficult to do so ; the brutality ofthe police was so great und tbe consternation caused thereby equally so , that to one bad an opportunity of _ajarbing the actual perpetrators ofthe outrage . The Relievikg Offices , to the Bethnal-green Union was then sworn , & nd . aid , the deceased had applied to him for a doctor's order . He ( witneaB ) advised him to go into the Infirmary at once . A _reepcctable-lookiog female in the room here stood up and exclaimed , that on last Sunday fortnight she had seen six policemen beating one man at one and tha same time .

      A gentleman in tbe room . aid , he bad a friend who had Been three policemen beating one young man most scandalously . Could not Eay if tbatyoung man was the deceased . If time was granted , he had no doubt he could produce his friend . A person in the room eaid , from the consternation caused by the brutality of the police , Sir George Grey was well aware the actual perpetrators could not be identified . A Juror Baid , he was decidedly of opinion that _deceased bad come by his death by violence . The Coroner here drew a verdict as _folloifs : — ' That the deceased died a natural death from fever , which might have been accelerated by violence , administered by some person , unknown . '

      Here a young woman , the Bister of deceased , TO . e greatly agitated , and very indignantly demanded to apeak , the had not yet been heard . Her brother was a murdered young man , he had died from the vio ' ence he bad received at tbe hands of the police , _aho bad Eeen him _ghortly before his death , when ho had deolared , if they were his last words , thia was tbe f _. ct . Tbe jury declared the verdict jub _4 read by the coroner , was not their verdict . The Coroner again essayed to indite , ' That the _deceased died _froa fever . ' The Jort .-No , no ! We don't admit that . We say he died from the violence he received on Sunday , the 4 th instant .

      A verdict was then drawn up , _signed by the foreman and the whole of thejury , wbich terminated the proceedings :- — 'That thedeceased , Henry Hanshard , came by bis death on the 17 th instant , by violence

      Brutal Treatment Of Michael M'Manus By T...

      BRUTAL TREATMENT OF MICHAEL M'MANUS BY THE POLICE . TO TDK £ J » T 0 B OP TBE _NOHTBEBif -TAB . Sin , —Will j on permit rae , through tte medium of yoar columns , to lay before the public as gross and scandalous a case of perjury and tyranny as ever _disgraced a c < mntiy that boasts of its free institutions and the purity of its judicial administration . I am an Irish Confederate , snd a member ot the D . wis Club . At a meeting of our body , held on the evening ef the 12 th inot ., I , at the request of several ef my friends , glued at the dour of the club room to prevent lhe entrance of improper persons . In tho course of tke night , it being announced that a government spy was in tho room , some confusion arose , ana ories of ' put him out ; ' whereupon the spy declared his willingness to withdraw , and ho was permitted to do so quietly . II . returned , _however , about eleven

      o'clock with a number of policemen , and _having pointed me out to thera , I _wasaeizsd by both arms and _dragged away without having the _lea-t idea of wbat I was _charged with . When we reached the station-house in Vine-street , I was surrounded hy seventy or _eblny policemen , who assailed mo with the _mcBl bitter invectives , taunts , and threats —they palled me ' Chartist , ' * Irish blackguard , ' Ac , ' _We'll teach you to assault an officer , ' & o . I told them I bad never a very exalted opinion of their _bravery , but their present conduct to a single prisoner was proof of the basest sowardice . Tbe charge against me was then received , and I was _irume-Uately seiz _^ by four of those dastardly rutfiats , and dragged down two long flights of stairs , on tba way down they beat me so violently that I

      wa 8 < -bliged to cry out ' murder . ' When I reacted the last step , one ot them gave me a dreadful blow on the back , that knocked tue down into a dark cell . I asked _frr my hat , which bad been knocked off and _tiampied on—it was kicked in to me . Not contetitwith itflietiug all tbis wanton injury upon _B'e , "no of tbtse _raonster _.- kept brandishing bis bludgeon before my face . I thought my time was conn-, and _exf-ecied every moment to bo murdered . I was then locked up for the _nigbt , the inspector refusing to take bail for me , and on the following morning , brought before a magistrate in _Marlborough-btrtet , where for the first time 1 became aware of the charge against me . The spy of ihe preceding evening—but now constable Alfred Mitchell , C 25 , deliberately _Bwore that when he entered

      the room the chairman was reading a newspaper , that a cry _iavieg been raised that there was 3 ' spy' in the room , the people shoved up against , and threw him down , that I then dragged him to the door , and threw him down the first flight of stairs , may be nine or ten _stepp , and said , ' If tbat wont do , I'll kick you down the rest . ' I was perfectly amazed at hearing the charge , and begged the magistrate to trait till my solicitor ( Mr Murrough ) _, whom I momentarily expected , should arrive , or at least to examine my witnesses , several <> f whom were waitiug outside , being prevented by the police from entering the court , aud who could prove the _etateaient of constable Mitchel to he entirely false—that the chairman had not read any newspaper that night , that no one had been knocked

      . own or assaulted iu the room , . and that the flight ; of . -. airs whieh Mitchell swore contained nine or ten steps , contained in reality but four . But this most learned and impartial magistrate—this most sapient judge —this very Daniel ! declared' that he had heard quite enough to warrant him in committing me to Newgate !! ' And to Newgate I was _oco & rdingly sent , where I remained in the company of thieves an .- ' _vagabonds till this very day , when my trial being c . lled on , council for the Crown declared tbat they were unable to proceed in tbia ease for want of evidence . Sir , I appeal through you to every impartial Englishman and Irishman , if this is a thing to be borne , ; that an innocent man should bs deprived of his liberty for eight _daj s , brutally beaten aud insulted , and then discharged with a wolfish grin , from

      an Old Bailey judge , acd a cool intimation from tbe Crown prosecutor , that there is no evidence against him . I don't know , Sir , if this be hw , but I do know and feel that it is a monstrous ir . justice , forbad they not the very same evidence on _whick 1 was committed by the _Mai'lborough-stree . t Daniel , and tbe same ou which the intelligent grand jury found true bilk against me . but the true reason why the Crown lawyers withdrew tbeir proseoution was tbis —they knew fall well that there were nearly a dozen _respectable witnesses waiting in coarttready to prove thefeul perjury of constable 25 C . and the > feared it might throw discredit in the minds of ' the jury on that respectable fraternity , on whose evidence tbey had sent several , possibly _infiOefeBt pci _* - _tbtis to prison " , aad hard labour for one or two years _.

      and that perhaps in future , tbey might find it difficult to procure a conviction on the unsupported testimony of a policeman ; or perhaps it _. _was done for the purpose of screening a perjurer from the effects of a prosecution for his iniqu _. ty * ;> Jmt be that as it may , it is the interest £ nd the duty of every man ih the country , to see that a wretch-like spy Mitchell , 25 C , should not escape tho punishment , justly due to his crime , nor be left loose on society , perhaps to swear away the life of some innocent man—this is not a case that concerns me only . It was by the merest accident that I was the person . elected . If I bad not been in the reora , eome other innocent man wnuld have beon Bworr . against . In fact _. ' no man in tbis land is safe , while bis liberty or perhaps his life depends upon the oath of & policeman .

      I am , Sir , with great respect , your obedient servant , June 2 _ . b . 18 . 8 . Michael M'Maw . _3

      Merthyr Tydvil . —The members uf the National Land Company , resident in this town , highly approve of the suggestions of the Manchester members in recommending the directors to give proper notice to the succesRfnl allotteeB , so as all may have time to prepare , previous to their taking possession of their allotments , and we strongly recommend the rule to be strictly carried out , so that every ona may know where he is to be located before the building is commenced , and that any person who wishes toadd'to the uniform plan of the Company may do so . We are also in favour of holding the next _Conference in the nearest market to _? n to the last location ; and we are of opinion that a monthly report of the proceedings of the Company would be very encauraging to all tbe members ; and that two of the directors should be constantly with Mr O'Connor on the estates .

The Marquis of Lansdowne sold , that tho circular had been drown up In haste , and thf . t tho government intended , en an early day , to issue an order to tbo Irish Poor Law _Coramlssicncrs , which would override tbe effect of thd circular . Ho hoped Lord Monteaglo

      would accept that assurance , and either _withdraw or susppndhis motion . Lord Montjugie eon _. _ested to ffitbdra _* bis motion . HOUSE OP COMMONS . —CoLoNur _, Affairs . —Mr _Anstkt said , ho wished to renew a _question he had I _> ut the o ; ber night _leafeotiog _correspondence fr « m V » n _Dicmec ' s Land . He ha-l then made inquiries _reaptctint ? cv . tain _rtcent _trsnsaot ' otiB of an extratrJinary charocttrin that colony ; and he was told that the government had n » infermntion upon thc subject . Two malls bad _sinco arrived , and be wished to inquire _wb _.-it eorrespondeDcn hnd been received , and what tfee government intended -o do ?

      Mr B . Hawes said , it was very unfair to go Into this question eo _repoutctily , when tho government had distinctly declared thut the only accounts they had received frem the colony related to but otic part ofthe subject . All ho could say w _« b , that he had received no further information . Mr _Ait-TEY . —Then , Mr , upon tbe fint _ocfitsion of going into _cemmittee ot supply , I shall call tbo Attention ofthe bouse to tbe conduct of the _Liaut . _Govcrnor of Van Dlemeii ' s Lind .

Hawes said , he had really no _further informatioD , Ho v ? _os wholly unable to answer . What waa the state of the colony ho did not at _ 11 know . ( Loud laughter )

      Mr _HUMr _. —All I can say is , that it is very odd that private letters should have heen received by evtrjbody , giving all the particulars of _Ihoso _transactions , nnd that tho Colonial Office , nevertheless , should know nothing about them . 1 do not eay it Is , but it losks like , gross neglect . _( Mueh chue . ing < Scgar Duties .- Ou tho motion of Lot- } John _Rus-8-Li , the order of the dny wn . reed for the house going into committee on tke resolutions _respecting the sugar dalles . Mr Eixice observed that , _baforo ho was called on either to vote for tho proposition of the noble _h-rd _, or tbe bon , baronet who had ao amendment onthejr . pcr ,

      ho should wish to have a further exposition of the polity which the gorernmentintended to pursue _rwpecting the West Indian colonies . In his opinion , unless something was done to relieve them , tho proprietors would bc _ultimattly driven to resist the authority of the mother country , by refusing to veto the necessary subsidies for carrying on tbe public service . Unleash , heard _SOtriG other proposition to meet the evils which prtssed upon tbe West Indies , thaa that slre-dy submitted to tbe house , bo shonld not vote for the government _resolutions . He was , therefore , desirous of bearing some ex _pla-atioa on this subject before the houso weut into committee .

      L . rd J . RUSSELL declined to give tho r . quired explanation , and eaid that the proper place to do so would bo either in Committee , or after thu honourable baronet ( Sir J . _Paklngton ) had moved his amendmeet . Sir John Pakinqton contended it was _impossille for tho West India growers of sugar to compete with slavegrowing countries , with a differential duly of seven _shilliBg 3 , whan the comparative cost of production gavo thc slave grower a _difforencs in his favour of 15 s . 9 d . per cwt , Tbe bon , gentleman concluded by moving a resolutien tothe effect , tbat no alteration on tbe present duti . _s on sugar _nill avert tbe ruin nit * , wbich tbe Bugar-Ijrowing possessions of the British Crown aro now threatened , or check that Increase of the slave trade whieh hos been the result of tho Sugar Duties Act of 1810 , unless it is in accordance with tho resolutions which have been reported to the house by the Select Committee on sugar and coffco planting in the present sesiion .

      Sir E . it . Bcxton seconded the resolution . He conceived that the policy pursued by the government sir . _ci ) 1816 , bad been the means of greatly increasing the slave trade , nnd therefore urged upon the government to re . trace their steps . The Cuamculob of the _E-GH _. _QO-B contendsd ( hot the protection enjoyed of late years by tho colonists had materially Interfered with the success of tho experiment of free competition . The right hoa . gentleman then proceeded to show tbat it was only by active excr . tions , on the part of the West Indian _piopiietors _, tbey

      could improve tbe condition of their estates , and _cxpresso _*! his conviction , that slavery , or _slave-labonr , would never be abolkbtd until free labour wai able to contend against it in ths labour _nmrbot _.

      Lord Ashley presented a petition from tbe delegates of tho mechanics and _artit _ans of tbe metropolis , repre . seating , as they stated , 200 , 000 persons . As the petition was respectfully worded , he felt it his duty to present it to tbe house . Thoy first prayed for tbe establishment of bome colonies , and then , in order to protect the rights of labour , tbat thero should be representatives of the working classes , and tbe president to haye a seat in tho cabiuat ; that with a view to relieve tbe industry of the country , tbere should be an equalisation of taxation , by substituting a graduated property tar fer all others ; tbat there --. ould be a governmental issuo of paper by

      tho Crown , based upon the oredit of the n . _tisn ; that for the protection of thc rights of labour a committee should be constituted by the Crown to decide what was a fair amount of work . ( Laughter and cheers . ) Ho understood the meaning of th . it cheer , they asked for a fair day ' s labour , and that the committeo should fix wbat would bo a fair remuneration for that . ( Hear , bear . ) They _nlaa prayed the adoption of the document known as the People's Charter , and they next prayed a repeal of tha legislative union between Great Britain and Ireland . ( Laughter . ) Tbe petition was wound up with a prayer , calling upon tho government to appoint a com . mittee to investigate all these demandB .

      Mr Hdmb begged to _nsk by what authority the party signing that petition made himself the _representative of 209 , 000 mechanics and artisans ?' Lord Asblbt said , the petition was signed by the _obairrasD , Edward Edwards , on behalf of the delegates . And there were also the names of several secretaries and delegates affixed to It . He had himself seen most of tho parties who had signed it , and ho could _BBSure the bon . member that they were extremely respectable and intelligent men . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr Hume then rese to move the following resolution ;—'Tbattbis house , ss at present _constituted , does not fairly represent the population , the property , or the _Indastry of tbe country , whence has arisen great aud increasing discontent In the minds ofa large portlcn of the

      people , and It ia therefore expedient , with a view to amend the national _representation , tbat the elective _franohiso shall be so extended as to include all householders ; that votes sball be taken by ballot ; tbat the duration of parliament shall net exceed tbree years ; and that tbo apportionment of members to population shall bo made more equal . ' In so doing , thc honourable gentleman expressed fcis conviction tbat tbe number of petitions whicb bad been pro _ en . c , d on that , and on the previous evening , conclusively showed , notwithstanding the unfortunate declaration of Lord John Russell , about 0 month ago , that some interest was taken throughout the country at large on tho subject of further parliamentary re * form . He could stato with perfect sincerity , that no arrangement had beon " made by those with whom he acted for getting : us such petitions , nor bad any orgonieation been _resorted to for suoh a purpose , and be trusted that tbo bouse would agree with him that the noble lord ' s statement had been completely answered by the

      petition * presented ts it . It was not to create uonecoB * sa . y disturbance or agitation that ho had contented to briug forward the motion whioh stood upon the paper in his name . For many years back the publio peace had been frequently disturbed by tho political discontent of largo mu . eoB—a discontent which oould not exist without _ocaueo—and whicb it was important as . p . edily as possible to allay , It well _brcamo parliament , in the present state of Europe , to consider whetLer the complaints In wbich these disturbances had oilglnated were well founded . If well foundod , It would be unwise and impolitic to suffer them to continue . Tho honourable gentleman then contrasted our condition with that of the other states of the Continent , attributing the _trncoullllty and safety of England for many years past to tho absence of reliance on the part of the government upon groat military _eatabliohmenta _, But latterly we had been imitating our Continental neighbours In _becoming a military people , from which , unle . s we retraced our steps , he an-

( Hear , hear . ) In the l _. rge constituencies , too , _something like publio spirit end fair voting existed , but these small _boroughs were opf n to corruption and undue itfluence , of which the _housinad . seen so many InBtanceB during the present _sos _' -oft ( bear , hear ); aud thuB , against the twelve _mecVot-i . representing thc _important and independent _ertD-iiinencles he hod mentioned , thi re were twelve lacm _' -. ex * returned for those small boroughs , who frequently

He would _nor > t . ke three constituencies in Scotland , Banffshire , Peeblesh _* ire _» and Selkirkshire , having 2 173 registered elector ? , a n * 12 , 330 adult male * , and he would compare theso co-at ' eft with Edinburghshire , Lancashire , and Aberdeen , where the electors wure 9 , 560 and the male adult population 171 , 000 . ( llear , hear . ) Was that fair , and ought _such . a state of _thini-8 to be allowed ! He could point cot throughout _thfir representative system the samo grossinconsfstenet , He held In bis hand an extract froa a speech of his late friend Daniel O'Connell , one of the last speeches wbich ho made in that honse . Mr 0 'Ccan ___ contrasted the representation of Ireland with tfi & fof _Eeg--land , and complained ofthe miserable deficiency ot tie . * - tors in Ireland , compared with some districts ! _n England ,

      Mr O'Connell showed that Rutland , with lees than 20 , _000 inhabitants , had more electors than two Iriah coenti-a _* ranging batween 70 , 000 and 100 , 000 , and two _iror = _r-ng _^ ing between 100 , 000 and 140 . 000 , than two more _wi- ?« np-. wards of 150 , 000 , than ono moro nith more ih _. n 25 ( .

The population of _WoBtmorel-ndt was 42 , 464 ; the number of Ub electors 4 , 392 . The population ef Londonderry county was 207 , 848 , a _. el 0 . & number of electors 2 , 172 . Thus _Londonderry ha < 5 an . _eiceffl of IC 5 384 of population , whilo Westmoreland 3 _. * _8 an excess Of 2 , 220 of electors , Mr O'Connell nest compered _Downshiro with Westmoreland in the same ai « _a _» ner , and Bhowed that , with a population Bix to _»& greater than that ef Westmoreland , the latter county

      bad 1 260 more electors than BownBbire . Ho theB tooitbo Counties of _G-alwny and Cork , and _compared -t : _t- __ k with Westmoreland , where the disproportion was limes greater . AU theso inequalities ought to compel tho hoc-fc to do justice to tbe _unrepresented , seeing that pe & se _^ contentment , and public order would arise from _equsiizing the civil rights of the country . ( Hear , hear . ) Mp O'Connell gave two examples cf Irish boroughs . Eft took _Lisburo , Portarllngtou , _Traiee , _Dungan & on _, *&_ -. _nlskillen , and _Kinsale , ci * . boroughs , having a population of 1 , 097 electors , ond returning sis member * ,, while tbree other Irish boroughs , Cork , Dublin city , and Limerick , with U 540 _electsrs only returned tha _Banus number of representatives . Id the six small boroogbs ono member was teturned for 183 electors , while , fn the largo constituencies there was only ono member to 2 , 42 S

      electors . ( Hoar hear . ) These instances proved that there was nothing of tbat _couaterprise and equality either in England or Ireland which ought to _exists Wbat he called upon the House to do was , to extend the suffrage and equalise the representation . At _present , the suffrage reBted oa no particular or intelligible baais there being now no less than eighty . fivo different _kimSs Of Suffrage . As thus constituted , the suffrage wa . _com-, plicated , difficult to bo obtained , and only to be _preserved at great expen . e , both of time and money . Instead of tbis , it should be simple , uniform , aud _easj to > be obtained and defended , Rd would counsel the _hoogft to adopt a uniform rule of suffrage . He thought that every male person of full age , of sound mind , _ftatS unconvicted ef crime , who occupied a house , or par . of a house , and was rated to the poor for twelve month _..

      should be registered as an elector for twelve months , . unentitled to vote for that period ; and that for tbe _purpose of securing the franchise under this rule , every _lothTa _. ' Bhould be entitled to claim to bo rated to tbe poor . They should abolish all existing qualifications in borflUg * . * _ . and _Bubstitute in their stead tho principle which he haA jutt enunciated . It would admit a large class within the palo of the franchise wbo were now excluded , _nntk whose _ad-aissloB , according to bis estimate , to the . xt _. Dfc of two millions ef additional voters , would only strengthen lhe institutions of the country by adding to tbe numbers of thoso attached to law and order . The extension of the suffrage was , in his _opislon _, the great point , to which the others were subsidiary . He than justified his conjunction of all the four points in _onaresolutlon . In that resolution the committee , is whose

      behaif he was then speaking , had merely embodied th & principle , leaving it to the country afterwards to _atty how far they should go . He did not seek to effect any violent changes , which were _alwajs to be deprecatad _» He would not disturb tho present distribution of th » representation between the three kingdoms ; nor wc-sdel he do away with the distinction in the house between town and tbe county . But he would so apportion th » representation between the boroughs as to render eac-t coHBtituoncy sufficiently extensive to be Independent . There was no difficulty in effoctlnjr this . To a eertaiieitent It had already been done in Scotland and Wales , If leave were given him to bring in a bill , he would hare tbe whole matter cut end dry for tbem in its different provisions ; If this point was not so important as the extension of the suffrage , It was not far from it . Bat both iheio would he imperfect reforms , unle . s the _reter were _protected by tbe ballot . As to triennial

      parliaments , ho could only juBtify them on the score ol thtir being more convenient tban if they were made annas ! _. These were the four points ot his resolution , to wT-fc _.. he would add a fifth , the abolition of the property _qunlk cation . He saw no reason why , in this respect , _thero should be one rule for Scotland aad another for the rest of the country . He concluded by warning the hoBS » _QgBiUSt tbO danger of _resisting , in tbe present crisis oE tbe world ' s affairs , a measuro of further parlinmeattay reform , of which reason , poiioy , and expediency _vtttts all in fav * ur , and the adoption of which would give « 9-corlty to our institutions , many of which were excelle & t _^ and ought to be preserved , If the -Qinl . t . _rs were faithful councillors to ber Majesty , they would at once ad-rite ber to make concessions to a psople wbo wonld be grateful for them . Let them not delay until an exasperated people were driven to seek by coeroion tbat which might : be dented to reason . The honourable g . ntiS-tias thtEV resumed his seat amid lond oheers .
