      SSKsAjSg" * ' Hehad ^ T ^ givea " REFORM OF THE BttPRESGKTATIOK . i t t ISo ftenn > se i Parsnant to . notice , to move for ^ rlng in a oUl t 0 m ! * ttB fr » nehi » and the ptoceaure at elections in the coantiea in Eng land and Wales the same as in the boronghs , by giving the right of voting to all occupiers of tenements of tae annual value of £ 10 ; oy limiting the time of taking the poll to one day ; and by limiting the time of proceeding to election to eight days . last year there was a general feeling on the part of the house that it was desirable to limit the time of taking the poll to one day , and to shorten the proceedings before the election , and he had iatroduccd a provision to that effect in the present bill . Many honourable members had icrefuacd to support the bill last year on the ground that the aa . l ™! r *

      noble lord ( the Sate Prime Minister ) had intimated his intention to bring forward a measiue for the reform of the representation . Tliat intention had not been carried out , and there was no plan now before the house , and he rejoiced to find that the present government were not fettered by promises of any measure of the kind . lie complained that the noble lord , by letting in the hon . gentlemen opposite , had risked very much the prosperity of the nation , bad divided the Liberal party , and had p laced in power the government of whose policy ho appeared to be so much afraid . They had bem promised by the noble lord measures of financial reform and Chancery reform , but all they bad got from a reluctant government was the repeal of that most obnoxious impost the window tax . And as regarded Chancery reform a Tory Lord High Chancellor

      bad conceded what successive Whig Chancellors had neglected to do . 2 ? o one had attempted to assail the character of the class of persons who would be enfranchised by the bill . He was glad to find that when the noble lord bad to deal practically with the question he did not object to the principle of extending tbo franchise to the occtipiers in eonnties . True , he did not extend it to tbe £ 10 occupiers , but proposed that it should be limited to £ 20 . He could not see how hon . gentlemen opposite could oppose hi 3 measure , when thev themselves seemed inclined on a recent occas u n to introduce an entirely new principle , which bid fair to be a revival of the People's Charter , in order to make a most unpopular measare popular . It was a proposition that eveiy man who « ore a red coat , and carried a musket for a certain time , should be entitled to the franchise . The Jion . memier concluded by moving for leave to bring in the

      bil > . Mr . Campbell opposed the motion upon the grounds heretofore ursed ag ainst the measure by Lord J . Russell , and because , In bis opinion , it would open fresh sources of ctrruption at elections . So important an alteration of tbe act of 1832 should be preceded by a deliberate inquiry . Mr . Hume snpportedtbe motion , insisting upon the policy as well as necessity of enUrging the franchise . He wished the present government to say Aye or Xo to this proposition . lord J . Maxsebs , on the part of the government , had no difficulty in saying bo . If a motion of this nature , which would effect a revolution in the county franchise , was to be now discussed , the house mast be prepared for a prolongation of the session . The motion was based upon an assuin p tion admitting of two alternatives ; the franchise in coun ties and boroughs might be assimilated by raising that o the latter as well as by lowering that of the former . This was a subject , he admitted , well worthy the consideration of a net ? parliament .

      Lord It . Grosvenor , Mr . Henry Drummond , Mr . Bright , Mr . Parke , Mr . "Wakley , Mr . Buck , and Colonel Sibtborp having briefly taken part in the debate , Lord J . Russell said he should vote against the motion , not for the reason alleged by Lord J . Manners , but because he thought it would be wise to consider the subject of the representation as a whole—not in separate portions . The Chaxcslloh of the Exchequer objected to the motion —first , because it was partial , agreeing with the noble lord that tbe representation of the community mnst be considered on an extensive scale ; secondly , because the proposed measure did not meet a very grcatdeficiency of the Act of 1832 , namely , a want of consideration for the claims of the working classes to the franchise . The remedy offered threw

      the county representation into the hand of a mere class , so numerous as to be able to change the constitution . There was no reason why an industrial franchise should not concede claims which he had often said deserved tbe consideration of any government ; but this bill , so far from meeting the object , although it 3 advocates alleged that property was toomncti represented , proposed that it should be represented , still more . Until some measure was found which met the exigency of the case ( which should receive hiE respectful attention ) , he must take his stand upon the settlement as it existed , refusing to go on , year after year , tampering with the constituency , a practice which was a , source of political weakness and national debility . For these reasons he should give the motiou his unqualified opposition .

      After some remarks from Sir B . Hall , in support of the motion , the boose divided , when it was negatived by 202 againBt H 9 . Sir W . P . "Wood obtained leave to bring in a bill to extend the provisions of the Trustees Act of 1830 . Mr . Akstet wa 3 moving for copies of papers respecting the case of Colonel Outran ) , when the house was counted out at a quarter to eight o ' clock . "WEDNESDAY , April 28 . HOUSE OF COMMOXS . —Mr . Christopher moved the first reading of the Connty Elections Expenses Bill . Mr . Akstei opposed the motion . The house divided , and the numbers were—For the motion ... 16 Against it 18—2 There not being forty members present tbe bouse was counted ; but some additional members having entered , a bouse vra 3 made , and the business proceeded .

      Mr . Christopher said that , as there was no house at the time , tbe division was of no avail , and be would take an opportunity of moving the first reading of the bill on some occasion when tbo house should be fuller . Mr . Mokcrieff moved the seuond reading of the Universities of Scotland Bill , tbe object of which was to abolish tests in the Universities in Scotland . Mr . F . Scott , Sir R . Iugiis , Sir . Walpole , Sir G . Clark , and Mr . C . Brace opposed tbe bill ; which was supported by Mr . Moncrisff , Mr . Bethel ] , Mr . Anstey , Mr . Ewart , Sir A . Campbell , Lord John Russell , and Mr . Oswald . The house then divided ^ and the numbers were—For the second reading 157 Against it 172—15 Tbe bill was cossequcntly loat .

      Mr . Gladstone , aftsr a vain attempt on the part of Sir John Pakiugton to induce tbe right ton . gentleman to postpone tbo measure , moved ihe second reading of the Colonial Bishops Bill , the object of which was to place the Church of England in our colonies npon such a footing as would enable : t to manage its own affairs , subject in certain particulars to suet I initauona and restrains as Parliament might think fit to direct . He did not propose to give to tue Church « f England any preference in tbe colonies ; oa tbe contrary , he would not acce it such a boon for the Church , believing that nothing could be more fatal to its progress—nothuig more ruinous to its interests ; his onlr object was to placa all religions in our colonies upon a perfectly equal fooiin ? . The ri ght . boo . gentleman then proceeded to argue for the necessity of giving a power of synodical action to the Charch of England in our colonies , tbe m-. de of carrying out that object being left to tbe colonies themselves .

      Sir J . PamsGiox v . oved the adjournment of the debate to Wednesday , tbe 19 th of May , which was agreed to . The house tliea adjourned . THURSDAY , Apbil 29 . HOUSE OF LORDS .-GENBRin Rosas .-Iu answer to a question from Earl Ghasville , The Earl of MiLMBSBuar stated that the distinguished rrception given to Geut-ral Rosas by tbe authorities at Plymouth , was not in consequence of any order from the government . Tup Karl of Siutteskgbt having enumerated the great wan < f Sanatory improvements in the metropolis , and the drawifut sufferings to which the poorer classes were in consequence subjected , concluded by moving that the sanatory state of the metropolis required the immediate interposition of her Majesty ' s government . After a brief debate , the Earl of Shambsbdkt , at the sogsotipn of the Earl of Derby , consented to strike out the word " immediate ' from tbe motion , and in that form it was agreed to .

      Mdemand upon the people , and he believed it " would be rea"dily responded to . we . F . Pkel , though a member of the late government , ana not belonging to the Peace natty , was opposed to this bill . He believed that the projeot of raising a force by voluntary enlistment would be nugatory . He did not say that there were were not 80 , 000 persons in the country who might prefer a life of comparative idleness to one of in ^ dustry ; but these were the persons most likely to be engaged as substitutes . If after voluntary service was found to be a failure , recourse was had to compulsory conscription , it would create discontent and render the measure inoperativo . Mr . Ucwdegate opposed , and Mr . T . L . Ilodger supported , the amendment . ===== 1 *"" ^ ™

      -Sir . R . Peel entirely dissented from , and contested the political expediency and practical necessity of , this measure . Although he dcprecate-1 any sacrifice to the erroneous doctrines of those who inculcnlated a reduction of our national establishments in obediencoto an ill-judged economy , he could not consent to vote £ 1 , 200 , 000 for raising 80 , 000 militia-men , when he maintained that the relative position of this country with respect to other countries ni-ver was better than at this moment . Diverging from the subject of this bill to the Btate parties , Sir Robert passed a high eulo ^ ium upon Lord Derby , who , he sapposed , might be discerning the expediency of a policy which he had hitherto doubted . He was himself prepared , as a Liberal Conservative Free Trader , to give his adhesion and support to an administration presided ovsr by Lord Derby . Mr . P . Howard spoke shortly in support of the bill .

      Sir J . Paeisoion said , no gentleman had attempted to erapnle with the proposition contained in the letter of the Duke of Wellington in 1847 , that the defences of the country were not such as in common prudence they ought to be ; and the most expedient and economical mode of providing an addition to those defences was by the old plan .. f a militia . Sir John answered the objoctions advanced by the preceding speakers . Lord J . Rcssbll said , it was because ho thought the country required more defence that be was unable to consent to the second reading of this bill , which he believed would prove an utter delusion . lie should not recommend a large increase of our standing army : but there were other measures which bad been suggested that evening , whereby a large force might be raised for defence , including the ' organisation of tho pensioners , a small amount of embodied militia , and a draught of 6 . 000 or 7 , 000 men from the colonies , lie- had , upon tbe whole , come to the conclusion , believing that the measure would be totally futile , and not provide a good and sufficient defence to the country , to vote for the amendment .

      Lord Palmerstok had hoped that , as the main principle had been admitted on both sides of the house , it would have been discussed solely with reference to the defence and security of the realm , and that no party feelings wonld have mixed themselves up with the discussion . It was with pain , therefore , he had witnessed the line which Lord J . Russell and those whoacted with him had thought it their duty to take on this ooc sion ; two of these gentlemen used arguments which applied as strongly against the measure ^ of tbe late government as against the measure under debate . He was of opinion that this measure was a good one . What was the differenco between it and the measure which the

      late government had made a vital question ? In the latter compulsory service was tbe rule , and voluntary service the exception ; iu the present measure voluntary service was the rule aud compulsory service tbe exception—so that the reason why the late government opposed this bill must be because it was not compulsory enough . He believed that by voluntary enlistment as many men could begot as would be wanted , and that they would not be backward in obeying the call of their country in time of need . lie , therefore , looked upon this measure as calculated to do an essential good to the country ; but if be thought that , in some points , it might be improved , that was no reason why ho should oppose the second reading . Mr . Moffatt moved that the debate be adjourned , which , after a few words from Colonel Sibtborp , was agreed to . The other business having been disposed of , the house adjourned at five minutes past one until Monday .

Margetson and Co ., leather-merchants , in Manning-street , Bermondsey , adjoining the new leather market . The fire having once gained head , made very rapid progress , and before any engines arrived a large portion of one section of the warehouse was in flames . The Wesleyan chapel which stood opposite Messrs . Maraetson ' s warehouse was several times on fire , and it was with the greatest difficulty that the officers of the brigade could keep the flames from spreading in that direction . A great deal of alarm was occasioned in the neighbourhood , but the fire was quite got under shortly after two o ' clock . Mr . Braidwood was present .

      ! .- " AN OLD DODGER . ' At the Mansion House on Monday , Allan Fovsyth , & fellow who pretended to be a Scotchman , and whose real name is believed to be Patrick Murphy , was brought before the Lord Mayor and Sir Robert Cardcn , for final examination , charged with having committed a begging imposture . The prisoner was clothed in the dress of a member of the Royal Rifle Brigade , with the great coat of a naval officer , and he had a naval cap in his pocket while foe wore a military head-piece . —Tho evidence stated the following facts : —The prisoner bad been seen by a policeman , who had observed him before sneaking about the neighbourhood , to walk into the Steam Navigation Office , in Leadenhall-¦ treet , where it was ascertained ho bad no business . It was inferred that his object was to beg or to steal , and

      he was apprehended and conveyed , together with a woman to whom he had been speaking , to the Mansion House . In tbe possession of the woman was found a paper professing to be the discharge from the Rifle Brigade of a man , the description of whom exactl y suited the appeatMWO tf the prisoner . That paper had been ascertained to be a forgery . The officer upon further inquiry had learned that tho priaoaer had called upon a merchant in the City , and upon the representation that ha was in great distress , as a military man , with a wife andjtwo small children , obtained money to enable him to return to his native land from that benevolent man . —Horsford , tho officer of the Meudicity Society , said he had long known the prisoner as the associate of some of the most notorious bogging impostors in London , and believed the prisoner had been convicted as a person of that character . —Tho prisoner said , ho was neither a military nor a naval manand that he never

      pre-, tended to other khan he really was—a street dancer and tumbler . —Sir Robert Cardeii : How can you account for tho different appearances which you assume by moans of your dress ? The prisoner : They are old clothes which I have got together as well as I could . It ' s all wrong to say I am an impostor . —Tho Lord Mayor said , that although some of the most crafty impostors had been brought before him of late years , he had never seen ono who appeared to take upon himself the character with so much ease to himself , and so complete a determination to carry it out to the fullest extent . —ihe prisoner : I hope , my lord , you will consider my real situation . I do nothing in the world , from morning till night , but dance and tumble in the streeU . —The magistrate then told the prisoner that he should not danoe in the streets during the summer months , and sentenced aim to be imprisoned , with hard labour , in Bridewell ' , for three calender months .

      A "RESPECTABLE MAN" OF "NINE COWS . " At the Thames Police Court on Monday William Holmes , cowkeeper and dairyman , Bow Common lane . Bromley , was charged with stealing an iron chest , and £ 215 , in gold aud other monies . Mr . J . W . Humphreys stated that he was a master baker , carrying on business at 3 , Grundy . street , East India-road , Poplar . On Saturday night he deposited upwards of £ 200 in gold , a £ 10 Bank ot England note , between £ 3 and £± in silver , and some copper moneys , in a large iron chest , weighing 2 cwt ., in the parlour at the back of his shop , and locked it up , He fastened all the doors and windows in the usual manner , and everything was apparently secure when ho went to bed , at hnlf-past twelve o ' clock . He took thd keys of tho chest to bed with him . On Sunday morning , at seven o ' clock , ho got up , and on

      going down stairs , to his great borrow and surprise , he discovered the bakehouse window open , the place in some . confusion , and the iron chest and its contents gone . It was too heavy for one min to lift . All the outer doors and the windows were open when I oame downstairs . I immediately called the attention of the police to the robbery . There is a field at the back of my house which comes close up to the parlour window . We traced the footsteps of two men across that field . The footsteps of one of the men , who , I suppose carried the weight , was deeper than the other . We tracked the footsteps to a blackhedge , where the iron chest had been thrown over . There was also an impression on tho soft soil on which tho iron chest had been placed . —William Huckstep , a police-constable , No . 293 K , said , on the Sunday morning while the clock was Striking six , I was coming down north-street , Poplar , and saw a light spring cart at the top of Grove-street , close to tho field described by Mr . Humphreys . 1 wo men were standing by the cart , and as he approached it one of them left it with

      a piece of hay in his hand , and proceeded towards a paddock , where there was a horae grazing , and I concluded ho was going to bring the horse to the cart . I spoke to the two men and they said it was a fine day , and they were going to have a ride . The prisoner ' s name and address , "William Holme 3 , innkeeper , Bow-common-lane , " was painted on the cart . As I approached the cart , I saw a third man , with a peculiar walk , and very stout , whom I believed to be tho prisoner , walk away in the direction of North-street . —Mr . Yavdley , after the usual oaution , asked the nrisoner if be had any defence to make ? and ho made a v * y lengthened one , strongly declaring his innocencn . ne was not aware the cart was near the field in Poplar on Sunday . He sometimes lent it to his brother , and it might have been taken away before he got up in tho morning , no added that he was a respectable man , and had nino cows , and an extensive trade to attend to . He hoped the magistrate would take bail . —Mr . Yard ley : This is a very serious charge , indeed . Idon ' tcaro how many cows vou have , I shall not take bail .
