The thirty old boroughs have a population of only 4,450 for each member; the twenty new have a population of 26,700 for each. The old boroughs, containing 133,600 inhabitants, send thirty members to Parliament; the new, containing 534, 190 inhabitants send only twenty. Such was the justice meted out by the Reform Bill.—Manchester Times.
