THE NEW FRANCHISE BILL.

By London papers received by the Suez mail yesterday we extract the fol lowing remarks made by Mr Glad stone in the House of Commons on Feb; 29, in rising to bring in his Bill to amend the law relating to the represen tation of the people in the United Kingdom. His proposal he submitted to the House under three heads. First, as the redemption of Ministerial pledges; secondly, as tending to satisfy the desire for an extension of the household franchise, which was widely and generally entertained among the classes affected by it; and above all, as adding to the strength of the State. “ He-took his stand upon the broad .principle that the enfranchisement of _. capable citizens, whether few or many, and if many so much the better, was an additional strength to the State, for the ‘ strength of the modern State lay in the representative system. Who were the • • capable citizens had ■ already been .-settled by solemn legislative judgment acquiesced in by both parties in the • 'Stale, and by the experience of the past fifteen years ; and they whom he proposed to enfranchise in the counties *-’a r nd put on the same footing as the population of the towns were the ‘ -.smaller tradesmen, artisans, miners and t: peasantry of the country. The question . whetherthe peasantry were qualified had been decided by the first and second Re ;. ..form Acts, for many of the towns repre sented in the House were really rural T.. counties based upon present franchise. Under his Bill he would leave the franchise of the boroughs as they were *tut extend the Lio yearly franchise to cases where the occupation was of ’ land, without house or building. He '■* ‘ would also establish a new franchise, ■' -■ which he would call a service franchise, yf'l&be conferred on persons who were -lit-'.-inhabitants in the sense of occupiers, , t vA but were neither owners nor tenants, tlje present law restricting the term occu pier to those who were either tenants or owners. Thus the principle of the f, ’ V! Bill would be to give every householder . st.yote. • Passing from the boroughs to the English counties, he proposed to ■'abolish the LSO rental franchise, and reduce.-the figure of the rating fran chise Of 1867 from a Ll2'rateable value to a Lio clear ye?rly value. But the main change which the Bill would ' * effect was to import into the counties

the household, lodger, and service franchises to which he had referred. -t.v-TJ’he property franchise would be main- V 1 tained in principle, but provision would : be made to secure them against abuses. Ah’important element in the structure of the scheme was that it would em brace the whole three Kingdoms in .one and .-the same measure. With re gard to Scotland, everything would be left to it which it now possessed. The new service franchise would be intro ‘ duced into the boroughs, which had already the lodger, household, and Lio .’clear annual value franchise, and in ’ tlje counties the LSO rental and Ll 4 inoccupation franchises would be replaced . - by the Lio clear annual value fran is-vt-chise, and thd leasehold, lodger, and i service franchises would be introduced, ‘the Irish boroughs the existing ■ franchise would be left un ' touched; for the L 4 rating franchise \*it,would be substituted a Lio clear yearly / .-’value franchise identical with that of England-and Scotland, and the house s' hold and service franchises, 100, would s be imported. In the Irish counties the yearly value franchise would be reduced ■■ t : tp.Kio, and the household, lodger, aid f service franchises be established, it ■ being’a vital part of the measure that • j -the three countries should be treated ' ton a footing of perfect equality. Oc ’ cupation would be the grand founda ■ of the new electoral system, and Awhile it was not held to be necessary to the existing property franchises 4.40 the condition of residence, it was

'proposed - * to disqualify rent charges > ' (except the tithe rent charge of a parish .held in single ownership), fees, and ‘ 'head rents-for electoral qualifications, . and to prohibit the subdivision of here ditaments for the creation of votes, ex '. - ceptihg cases where the subdivision was

obtained by descent, succession, mar 'triage, *or marriage settlement, or by will.' By this means he hoped to strike an effectual blow at the fictitious ■ r' ypte, by which he k meant those descrip - ■ -'•jffons of franchises where there was no real property interest at all. Having f ~Vdesc|ibed what,the Bill contained, Mr ' said it was impossible’ to '■Rtpass ’ by unnoticed what it did not 4 He admitted that it was not i complete Bill; but there had never 'Jbeen, and never could be, presented to ’ Parliament a complete Bill on the sub- H^7^- jectvof,Parliamentary reform. If they * would deal with the subject as practical the must not overlay and smother S r it“ - ’ As deck-loading was dangerons to Viv ships; SD'it would be dangerous to the Rf)Bill: -The Government were, therefore, ’ not to deck-load the Bill, knew that that would be a pre- to its foundering. Hence Irv they declined to include the question in its provisions. At '• same lime he granted that a measure ifS ;^f f -iffedi§fnilptipti ought to follow a | *franchise Bill at the earliest date, and r'Wthts Bill were passed the earliest date would be'next session. He might be tq explain his plan, but he did not intend to walk into a trap. He ifo.- objection, however, to indicate r%hia own views without committing his and he thought that when a erasure of redistribution came on it have some sort of relative final fßlty and be a large measure. He •, according to his own ” v.|deas,-.were the lines on which a scheme : ;Rbf redistribution should proceed. The R right hon. gentlemen appealed to the Rylliberal party not to endanger the Bill /Rhyl pressing amendments and making ! /additions to it. The measure was in a';'., no danger of direct opposition, but it " . was in some danger of having to en ■H* counter indirect opposition. Of that, '■■► he was not afraid, unless / there was grafted upon it the addi tiona! danger which it would have to Rencounter from its friends. He hoped <?’ then-that they would regard the ques < t 4pn,iis the Liberal party looked at the Karan Bill in *631, and, giving up isular preferences and prcdilec s, look at the broad scope and ;ral effect of h'urproposals. What wanted in order to carry the Bill -tttiion, and*union only. What it it was disunion, and iuoh only.

ANEW D PARTURE.—I am going to commence this advertisement by propos ing a conundrum, composed expressly for the occasion, and warranted bran new : Why is my new fruit and Italian warehouse like a river ? I can’t wait until all find out, but, taking for granted that all have got the correct answer, I proceed to state that I have just shifted into Orr and Go’s late grocery shop, where I first made the acquaintance of my friends of Ashburton and surrounndipg dis tricts. The “ whirligig of time ” has just put me into the old place, and I trust I shall have the pleasure of doing much business with all my old friends, and with many new ones as Well. The enquiry is still made—Where can we procure good tea? I answer again—Use Nelson Moate and Co.’s pure blended teas, and you will derive much pleasure and satis faction. Why ? Because that firm thoroughly understands the tea trade. Mr Nelson is a tea. taster of life-long experience, and his blends of pure Indian and other teas give universal satisfaction. Try them ! I am wholesale and retail agent for Ashburton, and these teas of the different kinds and prices, can, at all times, be procured at my shop in packages, boxes and half-chests. My stock now embraces nearly every article in the gro cery and Italian trades, and family orders I can now deliver anywuere in Ashburton and neighborhood.

I assure them and the general public that I shall strive to deserve the preference they may give me by studying their interests—as well as my own.—H. M. CARSON.

Unparallelled success of these grand drawings, as they are carried out on the same principle in Hamburg and -other Continental Cities. The first drawing for £2,000 and the second drawing for L 3.000 filled before the advertised time for drawing. The Company were induced to make this third grand drawing for L 3,000 in conse> queuce of the great success, and also the confidence gained from the public since opening these Hamburg drawings. This third grand drawing will take place not later than the end of June, and the fourth drawing will open on the Ist July. Late applications are registered for the third drawing. Over 550 applications for programmes are now registered for the third drawing. This third grand drawing will consist of 240 money prizes, amounting to L 3,000 subscribed by 6,000 members at 10s each. The various Money Prizes will be dis tributed as follows : 1 £3OO prize; 1 £l5O prize; 1 £IOO prize; 2 £SO prizes; 5 £3O prizes; 10 £25 prizes; 10 £2O prizes; 10 £ls prizes ; 120 £lO prizes ;80 £5 prizes. Total amount, £3,000; 240 money prizes. The grand principle of these Hamburg Drawings is that a purchaser of 25 pro grames is guaranteed a prize, as it is so drawn that a prize must come out to every 26 numbers, and the chances are in favor of the investor drawing a large prize, as there are 160 large prizes against 80 small ones. To any investor of £2 the chances are only 6 to 1 against him draw ing a prize, and the head prize or any other may bo drawn by any investor of 10s. The Company would not presume to tell the public that they have a number of chances and can win a number of prizes for a single investment of 10s. The large bulk of the money in this Grand Drawing is not given away in one big prize, as it is in the horse consulta tions, but you will observe in this Ham burg Drawing that the £3,000 is fairly proportioned into 240 prizes, giving every shareholder an equal chance of getting a good prize. This Hamburg Drawing is one of tlie most novel, and will be conducted on the fair est principle possible, s j as to give entire public satisfaction. This third grand drawing for £3,000 will take place under the supeivision of a com mittee of eight gentlemen, and the prizes will be paid over as early as possible after the drawing.
