rank and reputation. He decidedly thought that they ought tobe united with the College, on the principle of representationwhich they advocated, and that any other result would be in-jurious to them. He sincerely hoped that the hon. member forFinsbury intended to submit to the House his motion for inquiryinto the government of the College, and the effects produced bythe Charter last granted.

Mr. WAKLEY said, that in consequence of the statementwhich had been made by the right hon. baronet, he could not,with propriety, submit his motion to the House on the followingevening, but it was his fixed and unalterable determination to

bring it forward on a future day, unless private arrangementsshould previously effect the object which he had in view.

Anxiously did he wish to see the general practitioners of thiscountry incorporated, on the principle of representation, in the’COLLEGE of SURGEONS; and he thought it was the duty ofthe HousE not to allow any opposition on the part of the’Council of the College to prevent that just and equitablearrangement. The members of the College amounted to thou-sands. and it was not to be endured that a multitude of Drofes-- sional gentlemen of ability and scientific attainments, who hadviolated no law, who had done no wrong, should be thwarted intheir desires and just claims by the influence of a Council con-sisting of only twenty-four persons, whose official conduct to themembers had been marked by such peculiar injustice and auda-city, that the denunciations of the profession were now directedtowards that body from every part of the empire. He hopedthat the House would soon know what were the real feelings ofthe GENERAL PRACTITIONERS on this important question. Hebelieved that eight-tenths of them would prefer a representativesystem of government, with the management of their own affairsin their own College, rather than see established a separate in-corporation. But the demand would be universal for the latterif the former could not be obtained. In the first instance, how-ever, the struggle must be-for incorporation in the College.

Mr. HAWES thought that there ought to be a discussion Ibefore going into Committee, and that such had been the

arrangement. He should not, however, offer any opposition tothe plan of proceedings which the right hon. gentleman haddescribed.

Mr. WARBURTON said, that if the Bill was to be reada second time, without discussion, the House should understandthat the alterations which were to be afterwards introduced wouldjiot interfere with the principle of the Bill, as just explained bythe right hon. baronet.

Sir JAMES GRAHAM replied, that no alterations could be- introduced that should be inconsistent with that principle. In the

present state of the negotiations on the subject, he thought thatthe hon. member for Finsbury had exercised a sound discretion inpostponing his motion.

Mr. ACLAND deprecated the violent and intemperatelanguage which had been used in that House and elsewheretowards the Council of the College of Surgeons. He hoped thehon. member for Finsbury, in particular, would be a little moremoderate.

Mr. HUME considered that the hon. gentleman who had lastaddressed the House knew but very little on the subject. He

had, in fact, yet to learn a great deal respecting it. His hon.

friend intended to move for a select committee. He wanted in-

quiry, and he (Mr. Hume) hoped that he would succeed in ob-taining it, the members of the College of Surgeons having abetter right to the College than had the few gentlemen of theCouncil whose conduct had been so severely and justly con-demned. He had no objection to offer to the mode of proceedingwhich the right hon. baronet had suggested.The reading of the Bills was then postponed to Friday, April
