1~ ~' ~. , { I 4 ii I} 1 H 11 i 1 . . . , Li I I I I TRUTH v. JOURNALISM: F~~ l' ~. A t i ,ilication of her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent.—By Jusitvstnus. 2s. This is no ordinary or common-place production., It is eloquently and smartly written ; and if the tllent:- of the writer have not imposed upon us, •or suspect that it proceeds from the highest au thority which belongs to the subject. On account of roam• sentiments which transpire in it, we would i!lingly hope, that its assumed authority is a figure of hetoric ; at the same time, many facts are al lude:l to, which a mere writer on speculation could not he supposed to be acquainted with. In the f ing passages, we desire not to be considered as of any party between the writer and the Editor of the Times. For ourselves, on whom he has be stewed a postcript we thank him for his acknow ledgment of our " respectable character," and our " ability and impartiality." The article referred to in this journal, was merely a current notice of a public subject, in which we were as dispassionate as the topic admitted and demanded. To what strange lengths, says the writer, will Party-spirit lead public men ? A contempt of all the received rules of reasoning ; a wilful perversion of feats ; a headlong and headstrong defence of what is evil s and abuse of What is good, we have been but too frequently shocked at seeing in men, otherwise honourable, %siren engaged in forwarding the in terests, real or imaginary, of their political party. Viewed in whatever light it maybe, the•libel of the Times upon her Royal Highness of Kent is open to the fullest and the most,triumphant reply. The statements contained in it are false; but were they true, they would afford no just ground for censure ; and if they even did so, the terms in which that censure is couched would be infinitely more censurable than the conduct censured. "The widow of a mediatisted German prince," is the title which. in the overflowing fullness of hie Manly feelings, the editor of a print, read principally by the meanest portion of the community, thinks fit to apply to the guardian of his future sovereign. Is widowhood so criminal that it should be branded and held up to opprobrium ? That cannot be. It is, then, probably, German birth which excites the loyal indignation of the scribe. To impute that as a crime, or, at the very least, as a defect, to the sister in law of his own sovereign, is thought by the editor of the ministerial journal, par excel lence, a ready mean by which to earn the applause and secure the patronage of his sovereign's minis ters ? Do these ministers meet with perfect com placency the gaze of their royal master, after this solecism of their notoriously bought and paid for journalist? It is not, however, the mere accident of having been born in Germany, and married to a German prince, by which her Royal Highness a Kent has excited the spleen of the most high minded journal ist ; alas ! no; for her virtues subsequently caused her hand to be sought by an English prince, an honour which the scribe naivety says, the royal lady could at one period of her life by no means have imagined to have been in store for her ! And this is an offence, too, evidently an offence; or why such elaborated bitterness of observation ? It is too well known to require to be more than alluded to, that his Majesty recently sent down a message to the Commons House of Parliament, recommending au increase of the very insufficient sum allowed to the Duchess of Kent for her own support, and for the education of her Royal High ness the Princess Victoria. It is equally notorious, that hie Majesty's mes sage was received by the House with not merely unanimous approbation, but also with - expressions of surprise from the moat rigidly economical members, at the long period during which so scanty an allowance had been doled out to her Royal Highness. It was well answered, that Le opold 1. had preferred to assist his royal sister him self to permitting her to ask for increased libera lity from the hruse of commons. But that this recent acceptance of a foreign crown had rendeied it advisable, and not merely so, but positively in di-peesab!e, that upon his liberality, however honourable to him, the presumptive heiress to the crown of England, and her royal mother, should no longer be in any way dependant. It was found that the rabble, well and ill dressed, began to cool in its ardour of earnestness for the success of the, so called, reform bill. It was felt by those who, alone, are really interested in the success of that changeful affair, that their sole hold upon the popular affection was the sup posed good which the populace would derive from ft. To let the populace fall into an utter indiffer ence upon that subject, would be at once to give up ;lace ; for upon no other ground than the sup posed usefulness of the reform bill, and their sup posed sincerity in wishing to pass it, and power to do so, would even the populace tolerate persons at once so hungry after the perquisites of office, and so utterly incapable of the performance of its The Duchess of Kent eiLi not attend the coro nation ; ergo the Duchess of Kent must be vic timised to the great refreshment of all sanguinary haters of royalty, and to the profit of sundry pa triotic and super-libetal Whiglings. That her :oval highness did not attend sn solemn a ceremony could arise from only one cause: she is opposed to the Reform Bill. His Majesty must, therefore, alienate his .tleetion from his peccant sister-in law, and a leading article of fitting intensity and blackguardistn must announce that fact to the agape reade:s of the ministerial and leaden organ. Such was the view upon which the infamous at tack was nutle upon an illustrious lady. It is true, as we have already observed, that the main eljeci of the set has failed, signally failed ; the royal mind is not deceived ; the family which the set wish to destroy, is not divided ; and, thank COD ! is not paving the way for its own destruc tion, by listening to the falsehoods of its most im placable and hypocritical foes. But the other ob jects with which this most cruel and cot. ardly as sault was made, were fully compassed. The peo ple were, firstly, made to believe that, as an indi vidual, and in his own private judgment, the King believed the Reform Bill to be calculated to work well for his people, and that his Majesty was, con sequently, ardently desircus that it should pass; :iecondly, that the Duchess of Kent was opposed to the benevolence of the King, and to the wis dom (prnh pudor !) of John Russell, Esq. com monly called Lord John Russell, and others, the sage and disinterested patriots of the day ; and, thirdly, that in order to testify gratitude to the King, and to defeat the intrigues of the Duchess of Kent's party, their majesty-conferring majes ties, the people, should forthwith] raise their melo dious vox poputi for " Reform," " King . Wil liam, and his patriotic Ministers," individually, and ' en matte. Will not the reader of these pages be disgusted beyond expression, when he learns, that instestrof being engaged in " caballing" against the will whether a ise or otherwise—of her sovereign and brother-in-law, the much-injured and insulted duchess was watching over the couch of her royal child ; and that that royal child, instead of being absent from her royal uncle's coronation in com pliance with the perverse spirit of faction . , was con fined, not merely to her chamber, but Illso to her couch, by a painful, if not dangerous, illness!, Such was the case; and such the concealed tra ducers knew to be the case ! ! ! Said we not that we could fully vindicate the royal duchess? There is her vindication. Her affecticn could not endure that her royal and suf fering child should task stranger hands fur those soothing attentions which her state required.— Every preparation had been made for the appear-• ance at the coronation of both the duchess and the princess ; but the mother could not and would not mix in the pomp and gaiety of a state ceremonial, while her child lay racked by bodily pain, and at tended by aliens to her blood. And this amiable self-denial, this beautiful trait in a most amiable character, was seized upon and perverted to the base purposes of a base scribbler, and his still 'baser employers and paymasters Living in a style of the most unpretendingplain ness, her Royal Highness bas, during her whole widowhood, in despite of her extremely limited in come, supported, by her own hand, several chari ties, devoted to different kinds of claimants. A school for w idows' children, pensions to widows, food to the hungry, and clothing to the naked, are constantly supplied at her Royal Highness's sole expense, and under her immediate directions. Far from waiting to be sought by the poor of ber neighbourhood, her Royal Highness seeks them; and many, who would have perished unheard of in the obscurity of their squalid retreats, have been discovered by her agents, and saved by her bene volence. But, supposing that the Duchess of Kent had absented herself from the Coronation on political grounds, what then ? Supposing that she were opposed to the reform bill, what of that ? Supposing that she actually were to consult, upon political questions, that illustrious member of her family who will not bribe the " leaden" jour nal, and who is, therefore, constantly abused by it, why should that be charged against her as a crime ? Do the livid and infuriated slaves, who have heaped unmeasured abuse upon one who has in dividually done more good than they have collec tively done harm—and that is saying no little its her favour—do the suborners of falsehood, who would crucify CHRIST over again to retain place, or does their liar-in-chief, who would call his own mother a harlot, or Messalina a modest woman, for the smallest current coin of the realm, know that the Duchess of Kent is by act of parliament made Regent, should the King die during her daugh ter's minority? Is the name of Regent to be all ? or will ahe have authority and responsibility also ? Interference, indeceney, faction, caballing, and so forth, Goa wot ! just as though the mother were to be indifferent to the future situation of her child, or the appointed . Regent to have no care as to the state of the laws of that land which she may, at any hour, be called upon to govern during her royal daughter's minority ! The ceremony of the coronation was not a mere pleasure party, but a great national compact, en tered into between the king and his people. What time so proper for the guardian and parent of the presumptive heiress, what time so proper for the royal personage, solemnly appointed by parlia ment to govern for her daughter, should she suc ceed to the throne during her minority, to protest, tacitly but pointedly, against a measure which she should deem injurious to her daughter's future in terests, and dangerous to all the best and most ancient institutions of the kingdom ? Were not the yelling and venal journals of the set boasting that the particular time bad been chosen for the coronation, in order to forward the interests of the " great measure?" Did they not explain, that the new peers " to be then created would make a majority in the Upper House ?" If, then, the duchess had absented herself, as it was falsely `averred that she did, on political grounds from the coronation, we contend that she would have done no more than she bad a just and indis pu. table right to do. The plain fact is, that though the Duchess of Kent did not shun the coronation on political grounds, but from th e d omest i c cause we h ave I already spoken of ; she would have been perfectly justified had she done so. And though her royal highness does not cabal,—for her taste lies quite another way,.--it is a very great pity that she and others of her family do not. It is a pity that her nature is not somewhat more harsh and worldly than it is; for if faction be permitted much longer to run its headlong course unresisted and unob structed, her royal daughter's rights will be too far compromised to be re-established ; and shorn of the power and influence which belong as inalienably to them as liberty and justice do to the people at large, both the crown and the aristocracy will, at no distant day, have reason, but too cogent, to wish that the spirit of non-interference had been regulated by a sterner sense of the wide difference between grace shown to the industrious many, and impunity granted to the intriguing, greedy, tyran nous, and unprincipled few. Every kind of trickery, and every kind of ty ranny, has been unscrupulously resorted to by the se . , to carry a measure which they well know will reduce the monarchy of England to a mere cypher. Fribery at some husting,, and bludgeons at others, were the moral and mild means by which certain of the reformed school were returned at the last election. The peers have been threatened with mob vengeance, and held up to mob execration ; and now, the most unobtrusive of the royal family is assailed with the most insolent reproaches; not because she is even suspected of having done that of which the venal scribe accuses her, namely, " made a systematic opposition to all the feelings and all the wishes of the present King," but merely to cause a new ebullition of mob feeling, and thus to intimidate those who have even yet the power, to preserve from utter demolition the ark of their country's safety.

On the night of Sunday last the *fie barn, etahliair and eow.house attached to Chadderloa-hall, aid containing the whole crops of wheat, oats, and hay for the year, was dis covered to be on fire, and notwithatanding every exertion made to arrest the progress of the flames, was entirely con. stoned, together with nearly the whole of its contents. This building fronted to the south; in face and gable ends were chiefly built of bricks; the,itack part, toward' the earth, fres composed of wood, and elm screene d from observation by thick and toll groves skirting the gardens of the hall. The building was about 40 yards in length, and 15 in width; on the ground floor were stills for 28 bead of nude and eklit blow, but the cattle were in the Bale, sod nano if die 1 stalls nee occupied, exceptnia, by *heist which was in bad' health. The balks wise. loaded with the produce of this abundant season. They bald theta be toes Cl hay, 700 riders of oats, about the best over grown in this country, and the growth of six acres of .beat. About ten o'clock., Mr. Lowe, the occupier of the farm, went to the stable eo examine the horse above mentioned; he had with Win a lantern and candle, but, as he states, the Intern was never opened in the stable, and consequently no sparks could pen. sibly have escaped from it. At the time he was there, all appeared perfectly in order without the least beads(' of fire. At about half-past eleven o'clock, one of . his men was on the causeway, in front of the barn and adloin ing the highway, and in conversation with a neigh bour of the name of Lord, but neither of them per ceived any sign or smell of fire. A little before 12 they separated, and the man went into the house and got his supper, previous to which Mr. tied Mrs. Lowe had retired to rest, leaving another servant by the fire, who let the before mentioned one in, and the men having had their sappers, also went to bed. In a short time, Mrs. Lowe awakened her husband, saying, " What is that which keeps going rap, rap, rap ?" Mr. Lowe said, " Its Jack coming up stairs to bed ;" but the noise continuing, Mr. Lowe went to the window, and putting back th e curta i n , saw an i mmense flame issuing front the barn. He immediately went, in his shirt, and took the horse out of the stable ; and going to the back of the barn, found the whole in one moire blase from end to end. The neighbou r h oo d was s p ee dil y alarmed, and ' a numerous population were soon on the spot, many al whom were most active.ln rendering eminence, but hav ing oo means of throwing water save , from buckets and cans, it was impoislble th ey c ould climb the flames.—' About two (Meath smith arrived from Oldham, and, after a coosidseabbytime kid elapsed in axing the pi and in etherletniaritlems, dieing which th e th e w „ g the most rapid and slesirwatieptogress, the . to. week, and was lesintamatal in checking Ike man in that penile which ft vibrated.

The men, however ° ought to have done their duty, which, we are wry* to say, waft to the above representations, they did dot do. The balks were of solid oak, and of great dimensions ; the flooring was of the same materials, and of uncommon thickness, consequently they burned a long time before giving way. By five o'clock on the following morning, however, all was down, with the exception of one gable end and a small pan of the roo4 which it supported. The property saved is very trifling, and conshts of some gearing,_ a , ,small quantity of wheat, and some hay, neither of whi& latter will probably be fit for use. The property . destroyed was valued at at five hundred ponds ; and, .4 it is not inserted, the loss will fall on the tenant, Mr. Lowe. These particulars are the re sult of inquiri es made. on the spot. There is no Insides evidence that the destruction was occasioned by an incendiary, but the circumstance of th e b u ildi ng h av i ng b een f oun d to b e on tire its whole length, affords a strong presumption that it had commenced burning in several places at erne and the ante time, which would not prob a bly h ave b een the case hat the tire been communicated by any other than human means. • The circumstance has caused a strong sensation in the nun. try, and, coupled with the distansed situation in which a great portion of the manufacturing population is placed, and the circumstance of the incendiary letter received at Rochdale, the public may reasonably conclude that the spirit of incen. disown has not been extinguished, but only smothered for a time,--that it has been imperceptibly spreading and ga thering strength, and that it behoves the holders of exposed property to establish a rigid guard on their premises, and to have an eye upon all who approach them. — Times.
