PROPOSALS OUTLINED. LONDON, July 12. Lord Crawford, in the House of Lords, submitted the Lords Reform resolutions, which will be taken on Tuesday. They provide that the House of Lords shall be composed, in addition to peers, of blood royal lords, spiritual and law lords, of members elected either directly or indirectly from outside the hereditary peers by their fellow peers, and members nominated by the Crown. The constituted House will consist of 350 members.
