TORY U)RD LIEUTF.NANCT. Ire transfer the following able and spirited ar ticle from the columns of the Morning Chronicle •£.yesterday. It is a subject on which we have repeatedly descanted ; and we cannot dissemble oar surprise that the evil has not, ere this, forced itself on the attention of ministers. " We /re moat unwilling, at so critical a period, to embarrass the government by any recommen dations or reflections which could remotely involve • its popularity, or indirectly endanger the success of the great vital question of reform in the house of lords. But so many public and private remon strances on the disposition of its patronage have reached us, from all parts of the kingdom, and the disgusting facts connected with the Dublin election are so recent and notorious, that we reluctantly enter our protest, and apprize Lord Grey of the state of public feeling on this subject, so inti mately and necessarily connected with tha stabi lity of his Cabinet. The Tory party in possession of political power, which, with one short interval, they uninterruptedly monopolised for the lass fifty years, mainly organised and perfected an intolerable rule, by promoting all their ultra partisans through out the kingdom to offices of influence, profit, honour, and political power. Prostration and sub serviency, bigotry and party violence, met their sure reward in the humble and in the higher ranks of society. From the Lord Lieutenant to the parish sexton, who lowered his lordship's coffin into t he family vanit,every municipal and civil office was filled with thick and thin men.' The Lieutenancy awl Magistracy of all the counties in England, ' Wales, and Scotland, were crammed exclusively with Tories. Toryism was the only passport to 1 honours or emoluments. The church, the army, the navy, the close corporations, the law, India, the colonies, the civil and diplomatic services of the i state, were crowded with political creatures of the ; ministers of the day. Every man of liberal and independent principles was proscribed, and the door of advancement and preferment closed against him. The law was the only exception, when the bait of judicial appointments periodically trapped a few ; rats to silence an occasional public man who tor mented the Minister in or out of Parliament, or, may he, because a premier could discover no brains among the sincere political bigots of the legal pro- fession. Doubtless this exclusive system in the disposal of patronage chiefly perpetuated the bane ful and ruinous faction of Toryism, and,strengthen ing the extraordinary usurpations of the borough mongers, formed an almost insurmountable barrier round the citadel of corruption. Woe betide that unhappy public backslider who incautiously or in a frantic moment of conscientious feeling, perpetrated one act of an Anti-Ministerial na ture. A Lord Lieutenant, a General Officer, a Gauger, were summarily want to the right about with as much sang froid as the Duke of Welling ton ordered the execution of a deserter. The inundation of public opinion, and the extraordinary political circumstances in Europe which called Lord Grey to the councils of the nation, at length burst through thcroutworks of the Tories. The present Ministers, in consequence of the system, are sur rounded with spies, informers, and false friends. The courtesy of ministerial power has generally continued in office all subordinate incumbents of the several official departments of the State. The early difficulties of the present administration, its mix i d character and partial dependence on a portion of a divided aristocracy, have inclined Lord Grey to adopt this courtesy to an extreme extent, in stead of limiting it with reference to his own pe culiar and critical situation. He now holds the reins of Government, represented by his bitter political opponents as Ambassadors and Charges d'Affaires abroad—Tory diplomatists of Great Bri tain, deeply involved in all the schemes of the Holy Alliance ! Lord Lieutenants, Magistrates, Clergy, Lawyers, the whole host of sub ordinate official men, in every department and throughout the country, are arrayed in hitter and undisguised hostility against him ! To tamper with such a position is pregnant with inevitable destruction to the Ministry. " Con ciliation," " politic" coquetry with antagonists, are silly and despicable expedients, which always have, and ever will, prostrate those who resort to petti fogging tactics. We fear that the old and staunch political friends of Lord Grey and his chosen band of followers throughout the kingdom have too much reason to complain, as they loudly do, that the patronage and countenance of the Administra- , Con are bestowed in the cultivation and propitiation of enemies, instead of the advancement of friends and principles. The Gazettes for months past have teemed with municipal and other appointments bestowed by the Lord Lieutenants on Tory Gentry and their adherents, if possible, in greater abund ance than during the mcst fruitful period of their power ; and a more than usual activity has prevail ed in filling up the Magistracy, and in forming select bands of Yeomanry corps, officered by per sons disaffected to the popular cause. In the meantime, Lord Lieutenants and men in every office have not hesitated to place their names at the head of county declarations against the reform bill; and in the recent elections, with the Clergy at their bead, almost to a man opposed the popular candi dates ! The continuance of such men in offices of important political power and influence, their noto rious continued exclusion of their liberal neigh bours front participation in local offices, is unna tural and anomalous, and displays a suicidal infa tuation. Is it possible so to tickle the Peers into toleration of the reform bill ? Can any men of sense or observation believe that a single indivi dual will abate one jot of opposition to the hated measure ? Will Lord Shaftesbury, for instance, in his lucrative and influential office, oppose Mi nisters more vehemently or injuriously if displaced than he now does openly and viciously ? Will the Duke of Wellington, the Marquis of Hertford, Lord Verulam, the Dukes of Beaufort and Rut land, Newcastle, and Northumberland, Lord Powis or Lord Clive, or the Scotch Lords, less oppose or injure Ministers, because allowed to remain domi nant in their several counties, dispensing all the attendant patronage incident to their offices as Lord Lieutenants ? That the public may know hat is really going on in the country, and the just causes of loud and indignant complaint to which we havelbove alluded, we subjeiu the fol. lowing list of the prosant Lord Lieutenants in Eng land and Wales : Bedford—Lord Grantham Berks—Earl ol Abingdon.

Rutland—Marg. of Exeter Radnor—Lord Rodney. Two thirds of these noblemen are avowed ene mies of all reform ! We see a father and son, Lord Powis and Lord Clive, the rulers of nearly a hun dred miles of England and Wales. Lord War wick, the head of his county (which returned its six members to Parliament all pledged advocates for the Bill,) signs a declaration against it, and con tinues the omnipotent disposer of all the county patronage contingent on the Lieutenancy ? Earl Talbot, in the same station and opposition in Staf fordshire, we have before had occasion to Blade to. The Duke of Northumberland is dominant in the county of the Premier, and the most active, though silent, opponent o f Ministry! Lord Lonsdale, like a German Prince, reigns powerful in Westmoreland, • .ere Lord Brougham, the fountain of the Magistracy, is powerless and de fied ! The Duke of Rutland, defeated in Lei cestershire, with the sanction of ministers punishes his political opponents. Lord Westmorland rules the county of the Chancellor of the Exchequer.— The Marquess of Exeter in Rutland l In Scotland the picture is much the same, Toryism rampant and paramount in an eminent degree. The follow ing are the Lord Lieutenants across the Tweed : Aberdeen—Duke of Gordon 'Kincardine F. W. Grant Argyle—D. of Argyle 'Kincardine Viscount Ar. Ayr—Earl of Glasgow Banff—E. of Fife Berwick—Earl of Home buthnot Kircudbright..Vhcount Har lin Lanark—D. of Hamilton Linlithgow—Hui ofztl os. toun Orkney and ea Peebles--Eatl of Wemym Padi—Duke of Atholl Renfrew—A.

In Ireland, the Government, by the introduction of a municipal system of most doubtful policy, but of undoubted imperfection, has the opportunity of appointing to the intended Lieutenancy noblemen and gentlemen of enlightened patriotism, and where non-residence, we trust, will be an insuper able objection. But ministers must " take the bull by the horns," to use a vulgar, but homely phrase. A crisis is approaching in dr fate and in the destinies of the nation. "He that is not for me is against me." The legitimate power of the Premier must be boldly and magnanimously used. A majority in the House of Lords can only be achieved by the most decided and courageous course. We will further remind Lord Grey, that the Reform Bill, if passed by the pressure of pub lic opinion, will, nevertheless, expose him to the certain and vindictive future opposition of the Tory party. To punish him, but above all, to defeat the ends of Reform, will be the combined and le-united plot of the Anti-Reform Aristocracy.— Lord Grey's Adwinistation can only stand on the foundation of the people. The Whig party as a , country party, is extinct. Th e mag i c nick ! names of faction and family intrigues have passed. away. No more management of the House of Commons. The rising generation of all ranks are illuminated, and are rescued from the delusions of prejudice and ignorance. The curtain of liberty in Europe is but just rising from the stage, and the sun of freedout as yet dawns only on the edge of the horizon. Lord Grey must go on ; he must fill every office under the influence of Government with men attached to his principles. Those who have disinterestedly and generously sacsificed their worldly interests to independence and patriotism, in the forlorn days of Toryism especially, have a light to participate in the fruits of arduous and generous public exertions. Public opinion has called Lord (irey to his present responsible and merited power from respect for a long life of poli tical wisdom and integrity; let him deal out the Beale measure of grateful justice to those who, fighting by his side, have promoted his reward, and let not the black stain rest on his Premiership, that he who was not indifferent to provision for his own family was yet insensible to the claims of the friends of liberty, who placed him in power. We could say much more on this subject, and state many astounding facts which have been communicated to us, but we shall by this time be fully understood, and we repeat, that justice, policy, self-preservation, the vital interests of the country, demand from the Ministry more confi dence and trust in their real friends, with less fear and deference for their enemies and double-faced partisans. Why should Ministers fear the Peers ? They may and must dilute the opposition of the Lords with a yet more copious addition to their numbers. Lord Grey has to manage them after the reform bill is carried ! Let him publicly avow that all those not with him must retire from office; we know of old what a small proportion would avail themselves of the privilege of retirement. But it is intolerable to witness the undisguised opposition of the Tory possessors of the Magistracy and Lieutenancy of the country, who are not only undermining the Government of the King, but re-constructing their old and base domination. The effect of this absurd toleration and truckling to political enemies, may not occur to men of noble families, Cabinet Ministers living in the squares of the Metropolis; but it ib nevertheless a stiVect of loud reproach throughout **country, and coon* home to men's daily feelings and interests. ' mmmunnsmosom PANORAMA OF THE ' BRITISH EMPIRE. • * • TYNE MERCURY. At a public meeting of the Northern Political Union, and other friends of Reform. held oo the Town Moor, New castle, on Thursday, the Bth of September, the day of Ms Majesty's Coronation, Charter Attwood, Esq. of ‘lPhickhasta, in the chair, i< wu resolved unanimously— lst. Thai his Majesty, u $ royal patriot and reforming legislator, is eminently entitled to the gratitude of his sub jects, and that a loyal and dutiful address be presented to his Majesty on the happy occasion of his coronation. 2d. That:the address nowiread be adopted as the address of this meeting, and that it be signed by the chairman on be. half of this meeting, and presented to his Majesty by Lord Durham. 3rd. That a petition, signed by lthe Members of the Northern Political Union, and other Friends of Reform, be presented to the House of Lords, praying their lordships to pass the Reform Bill without say alteration, calculated in any way to impair its efficacy. 4th. Resolved that the petition now read be adopted, and that it be presented, on the bill coming before their Lord ships, by Earl (hey. To the Kisses Most Eseellent Mqfesty. thitze—We, your Majesty's loyal and dutiful subjects, members of the Northern Political Union, and others friendly to the principle of Parliamentary Reform, in public meet ing assembled beg leave most respectfully to oak to your Majesty our sincere and joyful congratulations on the event of your Majesty's Coronation. Associated for the purposes of cherishing and confirming the principle as well as the feeling of loyalty to the Crown, and of preserving our political institutions not only from in jury in pole' of form, but from abuses equally fatal with respect to their substitute, intent and efficacy, it is with feelings of peculiar delight, and with anticipations the most happy, that we hail toe coronation of a monarch whose earliest measures have been directed to the attainment of the self-same objects, thus happily affording the presage of a reign, prosperous, renowned and happy, over a kingdom contented, affectionate, and grateful. PETITION TO THE novas OF LOSIHI. That your petitioners approach your Lordships.in favour of the bill introduced by his Majesty's government, for the purpose of reforming great and scandalous abuses affecting the representation of the people. That your petitioners feel that they have those abuses alone to thank for that frightful accumulation of public evils under which this nation labours. That out of those abuses alone have gradually originated a mass of corruption. errors, and absurdities, in government and legislation—ln all departments of church and state—of laws and manners. That hence has England become a miserable, instead of a happy nation : hence have the labours of the people been in creased, and their reward diminished; and hence is this spectacle of public sufferings displayed, in the midst of those splendid establishments, and • that profuse expenditure, which have so largely caused them. ;Hence also, we beg to remind your lordships, has finally arisen the present por tentous exhibition of public sentiment ; the exhibition of a people staggering under a load of taxes, and heaving against the pressure of their mountain-debt, till, casting tacit im patient glances from of to causes, they discern the fatal principle in the perversions and abuses of the representative system, and twelve, at lean In so far as may depend on them, that those abuses shall prevail no longer. Your petitioners assure your lordships, that neither they, nor any important portion of the community, are actuated, in seeking this reform, by any with to interfere with, re strain, or impair the constitutional privileges and functions of your lordships' house; and they trust that, upon the other hand, your lordships will recognise the justice and expediency of granting their request, by passing the reform bill, without any alteration which may impair its efficacy, especially as respects the extirpation of that extensive lute ference with, and controul ever, the election of members of the House of Commons, on the part of members of lordships' house, of which the people might, at any time , be justly jealous, and the longer continuance of which , ' . under present circumstances, it may be apprehended that they should deem intolerable. That your petitioners beg leave further respectfully to suggest to your lordship's consideration, what dangerous speculations, as respects the very form and baits of the con stitution, ti ts longer continuance of those abuses is calcu lated to excite; and bow much it is to be apprehended that the people should come, in that ease, to lose their reverence for legislative institutions, composed of distinct andseperate bodies, not perfectly independeut of each other ; and toast. tate such dangerous questions as whether, if preponderancy in any degree should be possessed by e ither, it should not preferably be east into tbe sailed the body U lrich represents the people—estate of opinion most dangerous to the , stability of the constitution and safety of the public peace. We pray, therefore, that your lordships will pass this ne cessary bill. and thereby preserve the public harmony, toge ther with, if happily not yet too late, the form and princi. plea of the constitution. After the dinner, Mr. John Fife made the following worthy observation s about Poland s—Mr. Chairman sod fellow-countrymen...l rise to propose a toast which will speak for itself. If every wound could furnish a tongue this cause would have too many to speak in its behalf. If any man could hear of Poland--a nation of heroes—whin:int emotion, that man must be in his political principles an old Tay indeed. (A laugh.) These gallant men who bars for a century stood between Russia and the drill.serjeant of Fluesial who in fennel times stopped the Turks from ravaging Austria, and who would have ere now.been assisted by the French in obtaining their rights, bad not the feelings of the people and the conduct of the government been too often dia. rent things. If the French government had sympathised with the people, France would have interposed her arni between the brave Pole and the barbed= invaders. And nothing but the intense interest excited by the great bill of reform has pre vented this country from tootling the tables of the House of Commons with petitions to interpose in favour of that brave and sacrificed people. (Applause.) How can we' tell but that even now the Russians are sacking Warsaw. (Cries of No, no!) I hope set ! God forbid that that should be the case. But it such a eatas.rophe should nu happily take place, it could be attributed to nothing else but that detestable and most unholy alliance of asteroid heads, which would crush not only the liberty of Poland, but of the world. Let us drink, then, " Success to the brave Poles." Three times three. Twe CoaortaTion.—Thursday last was ushered in with the ringing of bells, the firing of guns, the hoisting of a flag from the Castle, and a profuse display of colours and stream. ors from the vessels in the river. Not only the public offices, but the whole of the shops were dosed. The Mayor and magistrates attended divine service at St. Nicholas' Church. At 12 o'clock, a royal salute was fired from the Castle. About the same time, the military how the barracks were drawn up in review order on the Town Moor, under the command of 14.-Col.

Nth ascent with his balloon, amid an immense crowd of specimen, from the Spital, in company with Major Callender, and happily descended in perfect safety near Close House, the seat of Mrs. liewicke, about eight miles from the town. Another exhibition, a nrat race, followed. The Political Union and other reformers dined together, to the number of about 1600, at one shilling and sixpence each, in honour of the coronation. The mayor and corporation gave a party of about 200 gentlemen a sumptuous entertain went at the .% ansion.housc. A numerous party of the most respectable inhabitants of Gateshead, celebrated the coronation by a dinner at Mr. Kenmir's, the William the Fourth Inn; George Hawks, Esq. in the chair; Mr. J.

As dm moodily meeting of the Literary and Philosophical Illahly of this town, held on Tuesday last. Mr. John Bruce lii be chair, the Rev. W. Turner announced that a notched Ina medial from Mr. bi , Gregor, stating, that as his paper as* afraaabg of the Tyne with a view to the improve. wont if its nee ion, was now in the press. he did not con. MN it necessary to trouble the society with a reading of the third and concluding portion, which had been Axed for that evening. Mr. (ireenhow then called the anemias of the meeting to the projected University in this town ; he had, he said, entered into some communication with several of the members of the common council, all of whom, he might add, were friendly to the .mniewre, but hi the absence of their colleagues decli old giving any positive sanction to it. Since the subject ' bad been adverted to in that sodety, be bad heard it stated, 'that an idea bad been entertained of commencing a similar mbekikkepent in the city of Durham, under the auspices of the elegy ; and, be had also beard it said, that there were greater facilities for enabibibing the University in that city than in this town, as, for instance, it was more retired, con sequently better adapted for study. and being of leas extent, weld not hold out so many temptations to the young stu. dent. These arguments Mr. G. considered of no weight, 'wad urged that Newcastle had the pre.eminence over Durham on account of her manufactories, the machinery .af which must be of great use in the study of mechanics ; also with reference to the establishment of a Medical School. which might possibly result from the Univer sity, Newcastle, from its extent and population, possessed incalculable advantages over Durham. He trusted, that whether this was intended to supersede the Newcastle insti tution, or to go on in rivalry with it, the people of New castle would not be deterred from the prosecution of the meek which originated with them, and concluded by mov ing, that the committee be summoned to take measures for arequisition to his worship the Mayor, requesting him to emu a public meeting to take into consideration the best :mans of promoting the desired object. The motion was nammiled by Mr. Mortimer, and carried, and the committee was appointed to meet on Monday next. The meeting then broke up.

Old Oats are dearer; the new samples are inferior, and sell at from 20s to 2bs per qr.

"Spurring?' had been put in in the name of John Wight, stonemason, and Mary Botterill, both of York ; and they had been regularly asked, no person saying " nay."

The two corporation flags were also displayed from the toot-hall, but, by a strange accident. if it could be an accident. they were both only half unfurled.
