The-Herald' has the following important para-' graph by Submarine and Intercolonial Telegraph, via Malta and Marseilles. London, January 18th, ll'3O p.m. An outline of ;Mr. Bright'si projected Keform Bill is given in a leader in to-day's * Times.' The bill contains eleven schedules. It proposes the disfran(jhisement of eighty-six boroughs, of which fiftysix are English, twenty-pne Scotch, and nine Irish. It proposes to substitute one hundred and ninety fresh seats, of which one hundred and four are to be appropriated to towins, arid twenty-six to counties. .-The practical effect p;f this re-arrangement of the "constituencies would,be to talte seyentyVeight seats from the landed interest, arid transfer them to the towns. This^on' a'division, would make a difference of one hundred and fifty-six vote?, which would amount to a complete'upsetting of the present'balance of interests in the Jiou'se rof Commons. parts of the bill are kept open, in order not to disappoint prematureiy the expectations of hjs extreme supporters. ' ' " '"'!. Tlie '*. Times' contrasts Mr. Bright's with his bill—-the former rash and 'calculated io' repel rfipderate politicians,' the latter evidently drawn with great care, ";ind bas.ecl on principles to which many, both in and' put of Parliament, are pledged. The bill deserves a careful coiisideration.
