SPIRIT OF THE JOURNALS. CHRONICLE.—AII the statements which have yet been made fall to describe adequately the extraordinary scene exhibited in the latest mo ments of the expired Parliament. Sir Robert Peel lost all that placidity end oiliness of exterior which has hitherto characterized him ; he abso lutely foamed with rage, and, with a violence of gesticulation and ac... don which revealed the real bitterness and violence of his feelings, so long veiled urder the Joseph Surface demeanour, declared that on the heads of the King's Ministers should lie the blood of the innocent Tia tints destined to fall in the approaching revolution; as if the wise arid timely concessions to reason and justice proposed to be made by Lord they's Government were not calculated rather to avert than pro duce a revolution • and in utter forgetfulness of the recent declaration made by Sir Rob ert or his partisans, that in defence of the rotten boroughs against the assault of the awakened people of England, he and :hey were prepared to encounter the horrors of a civil war. Never was so gross and flagrant an insult offered to a Prince, as was on Friday offered to our beloved and revered Sovereign, by some peers of the realm in their places in the House of Lords. To what excess will self-inter est and other sordid motives lead men ! Sir R. Peel, who now is pleased to play the part of leading anti-reformer, as he once did that of chief op ponent to the cause of eivil'und religious liberty was demoniac with fury, :is a person possessed, and 'resembled one " having a devil." His face was pale as a sheet—his lips wore the bate of ink—and it was said say many who saw him, that by the entrance of the Black Rod, he was probably saved from an apoplectic fit. Whence all this fury ? Because common de cency is wholly disregarded by this gentleman and his accomplices when there is a question about touching the darling Rotten Boroughs. This is Sir Robert Peel's present one; and the borough faction may possibly fancy they have got a good supporter. — Let them not deceive themselves. In a month, he, and Mr. Goul burn, and his brothers, may just as swiftly wheel round, and be for Reform, BALLOT and air., as they did in 1829 on the Catholic Ques dom.—Let:us contrast with the conduct of Sir H. Peel, and his party, the dignified demeanour of the Duke of Wellington and his party, who ahoeimd from giving their presence and countenance to such violent and outrageous scenes. They well deserved of their King and their country. Their line of conduct is plain, and consistent, end honest, and intelligible. They oppose Reform. We think them quite wrong. But they do en conscientiously and fairly. The petty distinction. taken by the others, who are furious again:.t the Government measure, but have mis. givtngs that some reform must pass; so they affect to be for some re form. We say affect, because every argument they use, every topic they appeal to, is distinctly directed against all Reform, the smallest as well as the greatest. And, accordingly, Sir Robert Peel, Mr. (&oulburn, and all, were against every kind and degree of Re form, from the first instant of their coming into public life, down to the hour when they discovered, rother day, that it might be con. venient for them to affect some reforming opinions. But these gentle men are nimble in their evolutions. How quick did Air. Goul. burn turn round in favour of the Catholic Question on the day of the King's Speech, 1829. He had always been against anything like concession to Catholics till that hour; and ever since he has been an emancipator. So of Sir R. Peel and the Test Act. He as quickly wheeled round, and came to be for the repeal, the moment he saw Lord J. Russell's motion was carried ; though he said most solemnly that he deemed it urinous to the church I Again we say, these men cannot be either respected or trusted. But to support them as tools of Anti. Reform, saner Dukes and Lords arc now subscribing thousands of pounds. Let the people be on their guard, and let all good men meet so foul and corrupt an attempt of the faction by the Sovereign Subscription. Dams—The business of electioneering goes on with a vivacity suitable to the occasion. The enemies of the people arc active and profuse ; and when we consider that they have all the privileges they wish for, and simply act and subscribe for the purpose of depriving others of what belongs to them, of how much more consequence is it to the party whom it is attempted to deprive fur ever of their dearest rights, to repel aggression, and enforce their demands ? We have heard of the subscriptions of Dukes and other Peers for the unholy cause : neither is there on our side any disposition to shrink from the supply of money where money is wanting. As to the course of the elections them selves, we may be permitted to say thus much,—that as it is ob. vious how many mums must be inevitably against us, from the mere circumstance of the elective franchise not being in the hoods of those to whom it of right belongs, all such returns may be con sidered as made by Frenchmen, Dutchmen, or Germans : they have no connection with the people of England, though the nominees must unfortunately sit, in this, we trust to them the last Parlia ment. But if, beyond these, there are any great show of members really hostile to reform, we should say that it is a foul reproach to the people of England, and a proof, whatever their professions may be, that they have not shown such seal as the occasion requires. POST.—The experimentalists, the lovers of change and innovation, are proceeding with characteristic activity, and are sparing no efforts to turn to the best account the opportunity that has unfortunately been offered them. It is the imperative duty, therefore, on the other hand, of all our countrymen who desire to see only sucCalterations effected as are consistent with the safety of the State, to meet these designing speculators, or empty theorists, with cornspondirg activity, and thus counteract theft mischievous exertions. Let the Chartered Companies If the Bank of England, and the East India Company, exercise their annost influence in the approaching Elections, to return such men to the new Parliament as will pledge themselves to protect those valuable establishments from the destruction meditated against them by the re volutionary reform bill. Let the boroughs and corporations which are threatened with the annihilation of their rights, defend those rights by rending such men to Parliament as will tearlessly redeem the trust ret posed in them. Let the colonial interest be exerted to preserve the British colonies from the ruin so calmly contemplated by the authors and abettors of the revolutionary bill. The anti-colonial policy of the reform. ing cabinet has been too recently exemplified to require particular com ment ; let the colonial Interest, we say, exert itself against these men and the strenuous efforts of their saintly allies the anti-slavery gentry. Let the agriculturists bestir themselves in every town and county to put forward candidates pledged to oppose the revolutionary bill, and, by rejecting it, avert the ruinous experiment of • free trade in corn. Manufacturers are not less interested in opposing this odious system of free trade, the canker-worm expedient of theorists and reformers, which, by bringing foreign competition on unequal terms into our home markets, has al ready effected some extensive injury on the country. Let he ship. owner and fundowner, both of whom have received recent proofs of the tender care and friendly intentions towards them of the Reforming Cabinet, unite with the other great interests.— Let all who are disposed to defend rights and property against rapine and confiscation, opposS to the utmost the entrance of revolu tionists into the new Parliament. Let all who have any interest in cor porate or chartered rights, in agriculture or in mono/he/ores, in shipping or in commerce, in the colonies or in the funds, Biwa' e of the destructive tendency, to each and every of these great rights and interests, .of the Revolutionary Reform Rill. Let the exertions of all these classes and of all who desire the happiness of the country. and the integrity of our glorious constitution, be united, and that happiness and that integrity is secure ! ! ! PosT.—The result of the contest for the University of Cambridge will be the first important manifestation of opinion that the reckless and desperate conduct of Ministers will elicit. The issue of this struggle will be known before the county elections commence, and thus it left with the University to set an example by which, ere it is too late, the gentry of the country may he roused into action, and the tot. tering fabric of our Constitution upheld. Ministers, we have reason to keuve, look with intense anxiety to the result of this struggle, and their minions are leaving unessayed no effort by which they can hope to corrupt, cajole, or intimidate, the electors of the University into a decision destructive alike of its safety and character. IiEHALD.—Sir Robert Peel, in the short and tumultuous debate which preceded the prorogation of the House of Commons on Friday, ass pleased to break a lance with the Press—that Press, by the bye, to which Sir Robert Peel owes no small portion of the reputation which he has gained with the country. Among the frightful consequences which the right honourable baronet foresees as likely to flow from reform is this, that " the country would be subjected to that system of jour nalises which had brought countries from a state of happiness and cortentinent to the fever of excitement and the verge of misery." —We should like Sir Robert Peel to tell us what species of putsalism it is that he approves of; or what spirit of moderation he veculd wish the Press to assume when it has to record such scenes of se ditious incendiary disorder as were displayed in the place and at the tim • when lie himself used the expression which we have quoted...- f!'ert is ene Journal, at least, which, as it lauds Sir Robert Peel to the b;1;.`1, may be taken, we imagine, as the organ of hie sentintei,ts, and as his beau ideal of journalism. The last Number of that Joursai lies before us, and from it we extract a few speci mens of the tone of moderation ar.d charity in which both persons and things are treated : 1. Alluding to the Lend Chancellor (we suppose) this Journal says. " Lord Mansfield gave the heartless charlatan who occu pies the highest station in the country a moral chastisement much more tevere that any he has ever corporeally received." 2. Lord John nussell in the same Paper iscyled " that Spooney," and " the penny 'romper of Woburn." 3. The Lord Chancellor's assertion, that the House of Commons had by u factious vote stopped the supplies, * three times called a " lie," and printed in capital letters, to con , tni and audienticate its grossness . 4. The King's Privy f. , ounciller s arc called " hacks," with various other terms of !;ton , iny. 5. And, lastly, the most insulting terms are used • nwatels his Majesty in the following words, the purport of e..ich cannot be misunderstood:—•• As the procession passed the Banqueting House at Whitehall, the Reformers in the crowd cheered •)''idly''llere we pause. If t hi s i s t h e spec i es o f j ourna li sm w hi c h sir Hobert Peel delights in, we should wish to know what it is that .e dislikes. Perhaps we can tell him. It is the journalism which has sided and is aiding a patriotic Monarch and his Ministers to loose 'lime bonds of worse than feudal despotism in which the best interests of the country have been en lung bound up ; it is that Press which has 'one more t o f an an d k eep a li ve the spirit of rational fr e edom than any her causes united, and whose not neat merit it is to draw down upon T • 1 If the hatred and the censure of that selfish faction, whose reign coil give w a y t o a f a i r and equal distribution of those public Ants and privileges, which, by their perversion of them, have been qnverted into public wrongs. THE GENERAL ELECTION. NEWS FOR CANDIDATES AND ELECTORS. COUNTY MEMBERS RETIRED. The following County Members, who sat in the last Par liament, and who voted against the Reform Bill, do not intend to offer themselves at the General Election for the places at tached to their names, and which they represented before the dissolution : Bir Thomas Arland - Mesas. F. Sotheron - G. A. Legh Heck John Fane - W. Dickenson - H. H. Drummond Sir Charles Morgan, G. It. Trevor - W. B. Dugdale - Lord W. Powlett - . filreAwilary . DIANN. We have received a communication from Sir Egerton Bridges, dated Genoa, announcing to us his intention to stand as a candidate for the county of Kent. He has trans mitted to us some ably written " expositions" of his poli tical sentiments and conduct, which, we do not hesitate to say, prove him well worthy of confidence at the present moment. His literary genius, and unparalleled real, in the I promotion of literary objects, are well known. We shall make some extracts from the expositions to-morrow. ESSEX is showing what England can do when called upon by its King, an honest Ministry, and the cause of Liberty. Every town, village, and parish is alive and on the alert.— Western and Wellesley are the favourites for the county, though Col. Tyrrell is a candidate as matter of course. At Colchester, Harvey and Mayhew are the favourites, though the corporation will show its teeth, if it can find a candidate. Mr. Saunderson is spoken of. Maldon also will be contested. In truth, every member from this rich and extensive county, may be expected to support the Bill, when the Parliament re-assembles. There are tories, but they are chop-fallen. Canvassing is incessant, and the only business. ELECTORS OF ENGLAND.—The Tories boast that they can buy you with their gold ; prove to them their blindness. Support the King, and do not let him be given over, bound band and foot, to Sir Robert Peel and his brethren. Vote fur reform.—Morniny Paper. Sir R. Peel has declined all intention of standing as a candidate for Dover. He has judged wisely,—he had no chance. Ti.e number of new members at a general election usu ally averages about 60, but it is calculated that there will be about 200 in the next parliament, so many anti-reform ex members having received notice to quit. Mr. Yates Peel, one of the non-reforming candidates for the honour of representing tha university of Cambridge in the new parliament, is himself confined to his room by the gout. _ _ Yesterday evening a meeting took place at the Nag's Head Inn, Borough, of electors favourable to the election of W. Brougham, Esq. the brother of the Lord Chancellor. It was amazingly crowded. After several resolutions, and calls on the meeting to use their utmost exertion to secure the return of Mr. W. Brougham and Mr. Calvert, the meet ing separated. Yesterday, there was a meeting of the friends of Mr. Hume, of St. George's in the East, at the George Tavern, Commercial-road, the Rev. Mr. Evans in the chair, who proposed the following resolution : " That in the judgment of the freeholders now present, our late representative, Joseph Hume, Eq. has done his duty, and we pledge ourselves to support him at the ensuing election." Mr. Hume, who was present, said : I should indeed be insensible, did I not offer to you my sincere thanks, and assure you, the example you have set, in wishing to return me free of expense, has been followed by Yorkshire, Devon, and the county of York; who, I believe, will vote for the whole Bill. Ido not long wish to be your Member, but when the new Par liament shall be returned, to see two Members returned for this district. Till that time, I shall be proud to use my exertions for the best interest of the freeholders. The health of the Ring, the Queen, and the Ministers, was proposed, and received with the greatest enthusiasm. A Committee was formed, and a vote of thanks proposed to Mr. Gould, for his conduct in the chair. The correspondent of a contemporary says, " The effigy of the recreant Hunt has been burnt on the famous field of Peterloo, where be has so often addressed thousands. On this occasion, I witnessed a greater number dancing and ex ulting over the ashes of his effigy, than 1 ever saw listening to him in the days of his greatest glory. During the pro cess of burning, the band played the Dead March in Saul in solemn procession round the field, and ultimately through the town." No popular idol, for a long series of years, has had such a tumble from the high pinnacle of his celebrity as the ex- Member for Preston. Wherever he appears he is pelted ; wherever he does not appear he is pasquinaded. In one place they break his blacking bottles ; in another they burn all his labels ; in a third they burn a " counterfeit resem blance" of " the orator's" person, as a fitting termination, no doubt, to the career of a counterfeit politician. This last " dishonoured rub" was given a few days since, in the field of Peterloo, in the presence of a greater number of specta tors than ever attended the most renowned exploits of the hero himself in the same place. To be pelted and have his bottles broken might, perhaps, be endured ; but to be igno miniously burnt on Peterloo, the scene of all his former glo ries, must be too much even for the patience of the philoso pher of Glastonbury. This is, indeed, " the unkindest cut of all."—Herald. Soave qui peat seems to 1:e the order of the day among the Tories ; they are absolutely panic-stricken. Scarcely has the royal proclamation reached the extremity of the em pire, and yet, even now, we find the anti-reformers laying down their arms, and surrendering at discretion. The enemy has evinced the greatest pusillanimity sounding a retreat even before the appearance in the field of a hostile force. It will go hard, indeed, with our " venerable insti tutions," if they are to be thus abandoned in their utmost need. MANCHESTER, APRIL 24.—The news of the dissolution of Parliament reached this town, by express, about half past ten o'clock this morning, and was received with the most unbounded exultation by all classes of persons. At the time of its arrival, the Exchange was crowded with the merchants and manufacturers of the town and neighbourhood, and a copy of a newspaper containing the welcome intelligence having been brought into the room, a gentleman was requested to read it aloud. W ben became to the commencement of the King's speech, where his Majesty states that he had determined to prorogue Parliament for the purpose of dissolving it ; the most enthusiastic cheering burst forth at once fron► the whole assemblage, and was continued for se veral minutes. At the conclusion of the account, several voices cried out " Three cheers for the King !" which were given with a degree of zeal and goodwill that has never been exceeded on any other occasion whereon his Majesty's con duct has com winded the applause of his subjects. This feeling was manifested not merely on the Exchange, but in the streets, and in almost every assemblage of persons that collected in any part of the town ; and during the whole of the day Manchester presented one general scene of gladness. Here and there, indeed, a disconsolate face was seen, but these only served as foils to show off more strongly the ge neral rejoicing. L0ND0W.....1t is a fact that, after all, Mr. Ward is com ing forward again; a meeting of his friends is convened for Wednesday, to see what can be done for him. Mr. Grote does not come forward. Mr. Alderman Venables declares he will act on the instructions of the Livery at their meet ing this day, if no one else does, be will, however, oppose Mr. Ward. KENT.—Sir E. Knatchbull has addressed his late con stituents in a very humble deprecatory address indeed. He says, if again elected he will assist in effecting such a re form as circumstances may appear to require, and he then adopts the very words of the King's speech on proroguing parliament, " and which, founded upon the acknowledged principles of the constitution, may tend to uphold the just rights of the crown, and to give security to the liberties of the people." Does Sir Edward, in adopting the words put into his Majesty's mouth by his ministers, pledge himself to support their bill of reform ? if so be has some chance of re election, but he should be more explicit. GREAT YAIMOUTII.—The two late members, the Hon. G. Anson and Mr. Rumbold, come forward again ; a meet ing of their London supporters will be held this day. They both supported the second reading ; but Mr. Rumbold was absent on Gen. Gascoyne's a me ndment. Sou ERSET S I R E.—The very mention of an opponent has frightened Mr. Dickenson from the contest. Mr. Kemys Tynte, jun. however, is coming forward in his place, but re serves a declaration of his sentiments until the time of nomi nation. We hope the electors will shew their opinion of the man who, at such a moment as this, affects secrecy for a moment on " the Bill." BEDFORD (CouNTy.)—The Marquis of Tavistock has addressed the electors. BUCKINGIIA SISHIRE.—The Marquis of Chandcs has addressed the county; a meeting is also to be held, calling on Mr. Joha Smith to come forward, a call which he will doubtless obey. SURREY.—Several meetings of the freeholders have been already held, who have unanimously resolved to sup port both the late members. No third candidate is talked of. ESSEX.—The two late members and Mr. Long Wellesley have come forward with their addresses. The latter gentle man is confident of success. A meeting of Mr. Western's friends is to be held this day. YORK SH I RE —The anti-reformers have convened a meet ing for to-morrow, to concert measures to defeat the object of the King's party in returning four reformers. Among those who have called the meeting are Mr. S. Wortley, Sir Clifford Constable, Admiral Sotheron (pro pudor !) Sir John Lowther, and Mr. Lane Fox. NORTHUMBERLAND.—MT. Beaumont has addressed his constituents ; his pledges are distinct in favour of the great national measure of the King, Ministers, and People. DEVONSHIRE.—Lord Ebrington is again in the field with out a doubt of success. DURIIAM (COUNTY.)—Mr. W. Russell, who has so generously consented to sacrifice for the national advantage his borough property, is up again, and must succeed. DURHAM CITY.—Mr. Angelo Taylor has addressed the freemen, but says that he does not wish to offer himself to their notice with the certain prospect of the heavy expense of a contest. He leaves the matter, therefore, in their hands. Mr. Chaytor again comes forward, and the Marquis of Lon donderry opens his purse freely to effect the return of Sir Roger Greeley. KNARESBOROUGH.—Mr. Entwistle has declared his in tention to come forward again. He ought for the present, if he be a reformer, to resign his pretensions, as the late Members, Sir James Mackintosh and Lord Waterpark, both support the Bill. HULL.—Mr. Wrightson has again come forward. NEW SHOREHAM.—Mr. Howard is in the field; he votes for the King and the people, and is therefore secure. Sir Charles Burrell also has addressed the electors. WINDSOR.--A requisition, signed by nearly half the voters in the course of an hour, calls on the late Members to come forward again, pledging to return them free of expense. Mr. Stanley will again come forward, having addressed the electors. LI N COLN.—A meeting has been held here to concert mea sures for throwing out both the late Members, who enrolled their names amongst the enemies of the King and people of England. Mr. Corbett is to be one of the new candidates. HARIVICH.—The late Members, Messrs. Dawson and Herries, have canvassed this place. Two opponents are, however, in the field against them ; and, with the people at their side, backed by the influence of the Crown, must beat them out of the field if they have the impudence to go to a poll. BEDFORDSHIRE.—Mr. Potter Macqueen has been so licited to come forward and oppose Mr. Stuart, who opposed the Bill. BERWICK-ON-TWEED. —Sir France Blake has sent down his address to the electors, pledging himself to come forward again and support the bill. WA RWICKSIIIZE.—Sir Eardley Wilmot has come for ward here, in opposition, it is said, to Mr. Dugdale. BRlSTOL.—Several preliminary meetings were held in the end of last week to adopt measures for ejecting Mr. Hart Davis, and returning a colleague with Mr. Baillie who will pledge himself to support the bill. LEWES.—Three candidates—Mr. Kemp, who says, " it is your cause I am prepared to advocate, and with you I expect to obtain victory ;" Sir J. Shelley, who appeals in a most lachrymose tone to his " former friends to support the constitution of England ;" and Sir C. Blunt, vv ho says ex pressively, " the King calls upon you to send him your re corded vote against the boronghmongers. Answer, friends, solemnly and unanimously to his call, and you will have your full and triumphant share in the greatest civil victory that was ever obtained by Englishmen." ARUN DEL.—Lord Dudley Stuart is canvassing the elec tors here : will Alderman Atkins venture within this borough ? SOUTIIAMPTON.—Both the late members who voted against the bill, Messrs. Hoy and Dottin, have again come into the field : they have to meet, however, two opponents on the popular side, Messrs. Penleage and Atherley, who have answered the call to do so from a large body of the electors. W EST BU R Y.—There are two reform candidates announced in opposition to the patron's (Mr. Francis) men. WILTSII IR E. r. Benet and Sir J. Astley rill be re elected without opposition : they both supported the Reform Bill.

ASH IRE.Mr. Alexander Oswald comes forward to oppose the late member. IPS% ICH.—Mr. Dundas has addressed the electors, and comes forward, he says, in defence of the Constitution.

BUCCINGHAMSHIRE.—Mr. Robert Smith retires from the county; his votes were in favour of the bill. NOTTINGHAMSHIRE.—AdmiraI Sotheron also retires from this county; he voted against the bill.

D ENBIGHSHIRE.— Sir Watkin Williams Wynn com s forward again : he voted for the second reading, and tur Gen. Gascoyne's amendment. H A MPSHIRE.—Both the late members, Mr. Herring and Sir W.

Mr. Bailie's re-election is secure. CANTSRBURT.—Mr. Bingham Baring, who was unque • cessful last election, will come forward again. A meetin.r of freemen resident in London takes place to-day, to enstm: the election of reform candidates.
