s. sition made aeairs... inquiry, the right to make it never had been relinquisher'; he had Loped the time would coTe alien the in night be tmfettet ed from isli apprelicesions , end that time had row come.—( Hear, hear. ) Ile asked any gen tleman to sutra up in his ;lace and tell. him and the werld— that world which was looking to their discussion—on wl•at grourd was inquiry to he withheld respecting greets miler r. sally believed to he improver ?—( ilear.) Ile knew that there writ . . Hon. Getelereen upon the ether side—he did not concur in their erincipls althotteh he respected them far their con tistency—who maintained that that House • had r.o right to go into these matters, and who broadly ass rted that the Crown had an indisputable control over the hereditary rev( mos of the (ornery, to make away with the eshele of it, either in liege lumps or convenient slices, as suited its cepriee, its pleasure, or it.; whim. Those %silo main— tained such epiniens ought to belong to the Cehinet Don Carles—they ought to hive lived in ties times cf Charles or of James—et all events , th e y had no right to live now.— ( Laughter.) They ought to be keie as safe and as sacred as cid china, and put up in a comer Nacre they would be free Ciem the ipprebetn ien of darer dama g e. g e - r or of --( Laughter.) Another of jectien made to him in the three repeated struggles in which be Lad tehen a part to render the Pension List subject to revision, and this objection was the rain ground of opposition to him, was that he was concluded by compact and by Act of Parliament. There was one com pact of which, they had Lewd so much, and he re garded rs a stratagem—a fabricated stratagem. It was that !etc Majesty, of Whom they had hear). so much after be hied C eased to be, and whom the Noble Lord the Secre tary f u r the Home Departrecs:t bad in his place declared to Le Post ductile and pliant of all men—as one whose cnly ehject ass seeking the people's gond. was yet se dogged in his resistance to the Reform Bill that he never would sanction it, unless they (in the House of Commons) were prepared to pass the Pcnsicn List Pnincestigated. That a" as the sort of story that at the time hind been manufactured amongst the cxpcctants of the Government, and he bore the fruits of it in his defeat. That time had now gone by,end he had no desire to meddle furher with the subject. He knew Low stubborn were the influeneet of party, and how binding were the motives of political faction ; )e! be tr••sted they inherited an enlarged spirit of generosity, and a sincere Inca of justice, that would triumph over every minor consideiTtion• Ile did not believe otherwise of that House, fresh as it was from the constituent body ; for he was not prepared to denounce them t it ;- posed to the feelings of the Constituency ; and if :."" did not represent them fully, they did, be believed, at- least ue so to a very great degree, and therefore he was not prepared to say that they looked to the public expectations with regard to that house with coldness or indifference.—( Hear. ) They in that I - louse were opposed to an extension of the elective franchise to a large portion of the population— to the very portions of it that were the sources of their wealth and their strength—upon them he then called as kind-hearted Christians, to throw aside all the trammels of degrading and emaciating faction, and to stand forward in the proud attitude of patriots, to tell the children of servi tude—to those who laboured from morn till eve, .to the poor and the unprotected—that the sentiment and the prin ciple which that House cherished was that of doing equal justice to all, whatever might be the distinction of order or of rank. or however necessary they considered such differences to the form of Government; that to all they desired the same rule to be applied, and that there should be the same law for the cottage as for the palace, and that while no wrong was done to the titled, no insult should be flung upon the peasant. —(Cheers.) Let them, then, he said, look to their poor— let them behold their poor applying to the poor-law guardiani, and not a miserable shilling to be spared to them, wherever there was a connection on whom they could be made depen dent, and from whom a contribution could be wrung. Ho called upon the Members of that House to stand forth and tell the poor that they were their friends ; that they were not the men to have only a regard for persons with splendid titles, and no sympathy with the lowly and dejected, or that such_. alone were to be disregarded and unpitied. He appealed to his Honourable Friend, the only County Member he might say in that House who felt a real sympathy for the poor. It might seem invidious, but he could not help referring to the representative of the county of Kent ( Mr. Hodges) —he appealed to, he asked that Honourable Member, whether he did not remember evidence to this effect having been given before the Committee :—A man mar. ried a woman who had an illegitimate' child at the time she was married; the father of the child had been or dered to pay a certain pittance for the support of the child; this married woman discharged the relations of life decently; the Act of Parliament passed ; and the father of the child refused to pay the 18d.. per week that he had before paid. The man resorted to the Poor Law Commissioners to enforce payment, and he was told that under the new Poor Law Act that 18d., which had been a part of the settlement of the child, could not be enforced. They who spoke of marriage settlements would perhaps despise so paltry a sum asl Bd. a- wed , ; yet it was Of great importance to the man compelled to support the child, while the Act emancipated its father from the pay ment of it, which before he had been hound to make. He had been present at a meeting of Poor Law Guardians. lie saw one hundred wretched creatures standing about the doors— they were admitted at length, one by one. Then came in a poor woman, . seventy years of age, bearing upon her back the tattered evidence of past reep e ectability. She was asked as to her circumstances, and it appeared that she was the widow of a man once a considerable tradesman in the parish, and who had contributed to various parochial bur dens. She was asked if she had any children, and she re plied that she had two sone, one a bricklayer and the other a baker; that both were married, and each had children, that they earned about 18s. a-week each, which Was little enough to support their own families. What was the answer of the lloard to this woman ?' That while she had two children, and they were earning It4s. a-week each, she must look to her t=ons fur support. And when the Committee were reminded that she was the widow of a man once in as good circuits etances as most of themselves, they gave her lei. and a loaf, and told her not to mention it to others. Vas that the rule of justice slow enforced against the poor that was to he applied to the rich ? Ia the name, then, of common Christianity he ached them if it were ? They prayed to their undying God that their deliberation might partake of his heavenly wisdom. He then asked them, in the name of Christianity. when they dealt out that species of justice to the poor, the old, the unprotected, and the helpless. would they yet suffer a list of 1,200 pensioners, 300 of them with titles, and many of them connec ted . with the proudest of the land, so go enquestioned?—(Loud cheers.) Were they to do this en 'he ground. that inquiry might be inconvenient, or impose a difficulty on themselves ?—(Cheers.) He did not wtsh 'hat ungenerous scrutiny which had been applied to the agc:d widow; he merely asked, in all the delicacy of polished phraseology, that some inquiry should be made, in order to see whether some such reasons for the con tinuance of other pensions might not he discovered similar to those in the cases of Miss Stuart and Mrs. Somerville. If this a ere the case, let them all live on the national bounty— let them live on the people's industry—let them have the un enviable recollection that they were sustained on the severely taxed industry of the mariy.—( Cheers.) He cared not whether the present Ministre was dissolved to-morrow, or whether they were sucteeded by another. lie was an advo cate for good government by whomsoever administered, and be required no better test than good feeling. Ay, he would ask the formidable phalanx of Elan. Gentlemen opposite, that while upon intelligible grom:ds they were opposed to anything like the reckless advance of fathcmless innovation, and whilst they declared in the discharge of their boasted declaration flat they were the friends of reform wherever a practicd grievance existed—he would ash them to throw off th.e unge nerous restraints of party, and to tell the poor - of the land that in the proud Conservatives of England they had generous friends.—(Loud cheers.) The Hon. Member concluded by moving his emendment. Ile said he had not the words of the amendment. but they were in safe custody.—(A laugh.) Mr. HUME was afraid his Hon. Friend had misunderstood what had fallen from the Chancellor of the Exchequer.— ( Hear, hear. ) If his Hon. Friend had understood the pur port of the Right . Hen. Gentleman's speech, he was sure he would not press hi44nretelment. The very object of his Hon. Friend's anientlnierltewas met by the Chancellor of the Ex chequer, and he lief'ed that the Night Hon. Gentleman would satisfy his lion. Friend, by repeating his declaretiune ['[ho Chancellor of the 2xcht quer here Landed Mr. Hat vey his ano.ndrner t.) Mr II ARV E Y read it. The object of it was to direct the Committee to nieke a full examination into the circumstances under which each existing peimsion was eranted, nod whether the centiettancs of the same was justified by any public ser vices, or other special circumstances. The SPE A K ER ingnirc , l who seconded the moti. n ? Colonel SHIT!' 01?1 ) —I do.—(-Laughter and cheers.) The CHANCI LLOR. of the EXCHEQUER felt hound to apologise to the Hon. Gentleman the Meedier for South wark for the inconvenience he had been subjected to iu conse quence of his lost pamper.—(A laugh.) He u as very sorry to have thrown our difficulty in the Hon. Gentleman's way,— (Hear.) In reply to the observation of the lion. Member for Kilkenny, he begged again ;n appeal to the unqualified manner in which time weeds of his motion conveyed the intention of her Majesty's Government when they moved for a Committee to carry into full and entire effect the object comprehended in the notice which he held in his hand. He believelthat, with one exception, his notice corresponded with the %Niches of the Hon. Member for Southwark. He believed that that Hon. Member wished to add sinecures. Mr. HARVEY—I do not. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was glad of it. as be thought that such a suggestion would only have the effect of prolonging the inquiry , without leading to any good result. He would again read his notice of motion ; it was for a Select Committe;e to inquire into each Pension, and whether it ought to be continued, basin , * due regard to the just claims of the partie s , arid to economy in the public expen diture. Ile vs-ould only a dd, t h at be should feel bousel give every assistance in his power topromo mi tetheinqui . ry.—( Cheers. ) House to Mr. HARVEY begged the excuse his anxiety to k no w if he rightly understood wh a t had been said. Did he understand the Chancellor of the Exchequer to say that, though he considered it inconvenient to incorporate this in quiry with the Commitice for which he m ove d, yet that he would have a Committee haying for its object the resolution he had just read? Was he; then, in die first place. to under stand that there would be no money voted in reference to these pensions until the inquiry was made and the result known.—( Hear.) He was sure the Chancellor of the Ex chequer would not suppose that he imputed to that Right Hon. Gentleman any thing like a desire to avoid the object of that resolution, but that ho would appreciate his (Mr. IL's) anxiety to understand him. He wished to see everything done sincerely and correctly. Was be to understand that they would have a report from the Committee, and that the money should not be voted until all those pensions had been eta mined in the spirit both ef liberality and of vigour a hick was intended? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought that the explanations he had already given were so clear that person, unless one who was rather disposed to look at everything proceeding from that (the Treasury) bench with -u-pieion, could possibly misunderstand him. The Hon. Member for Southwark seemed to suspect that his object was to delude the House nf Commons in this inquiry; and in the mean time to obtain a confirmation of these pensions, so as to prevent the inquiry from being turned to any practical pur rose. lie would take, for instance, a separate pension in the Civil List. Suppose the inquiry should lead to the result that it was reported inexpedient to continue this pension, and that pending the inquiry Government had, by other proceed ings, taken steps to have this pension granted, and the House of Commens was thus deprived of power and control over such pension, then he would say that the inquiry wouldbe an utter delusion. The intention was, that these pensions should not he appropriated pending the inquiry. —( Loud cheers ) He drew this disti..ction• in order that no difficulties might be thrown, in the way cf the settlement of the Civil List, as that settlement need not commit them with respect to any cf these pensions. He trusted that this explanation would be satisfac tory.— ( Hear, hear. ) Mr. HARVEY said, tLat whilst he had no desire to be understood as relaxing in any degree the impression that lie had overweening confidence in the Government, still he must say, that lie had a sincere confidence in the purity of the Right Hen. Gentleman's present intention, and he hoped that the inquiry would be carried out as efficiently, as sincerely, and as certainly as he wished -it to be. Under the eh cuff:stances, he would withdraw his amendment.—( Cheers.) An HON. MENtnaa inquired whether the inquiry would ex tend to the Royal Household ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER would lay all the information in his power before the Committee, but lie could not consent to an inquiry into the wages of the meni-d servants of the Royal Household. Sir R. INGLIS was unwilling that the subject should be refeercd to a Select Committee, without making one or two observations with reference, not to what the Chancellor of the Exchequer had said, hut to what he had left unsaid, The speech of the Right Ilon. Gentleman did not bear a single allusion to what appeared to him a main part of the present question, namely, that One party gave a s well as received. It was important that the House should know whether this was a fair bargain between the Soyereign on the one hand, and the body of the people on the other. The Chancellor of the Exchequer bad .never alluded to the fact, that the - -.ern on this occasion, was giving a sum very con -. , l erzer than the Crown received. On the esta siderahly the greater part of the Right Hon. blishment of this fa'ftt Gentleman's argument would fall to the' ground.' It appeared to him that the Crown was in reality receiting infinitely less than the Crown was entitles! 14 receive. It would appear from certain papers which he'had inoeed for in the late Parliament that by the arrangement entered into by the cirown respecting its hereditary revenues, the-people had prefitted 'to the amount of twenty-nine millions. He would move that these papers be • referred to the Select Committee on the Civil List. After a few words from Mr , TDBNER, who was inaudible in the gallery, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that as to the public being benefitted to the amount stated by the arrangements entered into, be did not believe one word of it. Indeed, he believed that the Hon. Baronet was peculiar in his opinion on the point. If the Hon. Baronet carried his prin ciple to the full extent it would go to, this, that James 11, who had a revenue of 2,400,0001. held it as an estate with which he might have done whatever ho pleased. The true position of the case was this :—The hereditary revenues of the Crown were subject to old hereditary duties, and in proportion to the Sovereign's income was the proportion of the expense which pressed upon him. He would only add that he should be very unwilling to appear to the House to be so deficient in the per formance of his duty as not to have stated what the Ilea. Baronet had stated, if the statement were true. Mr. GOITLBURN thought that some mode might be found by which, without the intervention of a Committee, the House might provide a certain return in lieu of the hereditary revenues of the Crown. The House must be aware that in former reigns it was the practise of the Ministry to propose to the whole House, without the intervention of a Committee, the sum which they thought a fit - return in lieu of the here ditary revenues. His late Majesty William IV. was the first who departed from this practice ; but this was done more with a view to a political object, than• to the advantage of the Crown or the convenience of the country. It was, however, not his intention to offer any opposition to, or to enter into discussion of, the principles. involved in the appointment of the Select Committee ; but there were one or two topics in the speech of the Right Honourable Gentleman the Chan cellor of the Exchequer which he thought that Right Ho nourable Gentleman had not treated with the fairness which might have been expected from him. He had had the good fortune to have been in the service of former Sovereigns, and he trusted that he would not be accused of disrespect to her present Majesty, if lie ventured to offer one or two observations respecting the Civil List of her predecessors in reply to the statements of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. That Right Hon. Gentleman, in ad verting to the reign of George Ilia stated that a large addi tion had been made to the Civil List at the commencement of his reign, and that from other sources fifteen millions had re sulted to George 111., in addition to what had been granted by Parliament. True, the Right Hon. Gentleman after wards made a material deduction, for he admitted that nine millions had been devoted to other purposes than the civil Government of the country, or the dignity and ex penses of the Crown. But what he complained of was, that by stating thus the gross amount, persons • were led to believe that such a sum had been received, whereas, during the reign of that Monarch, a reign of the unex ampled length of sixty years, the whole amount that acceued to the Crown, in addition to that voted in the Civil List, was not above 100 0001. per annum. It should be also recollected that during this reign the public expenditure and the revenues in every departn.ent bad greatly increased. This 100,0001., also, was expended not in extravagance, but in supporting the energies and extending the business of the country. There was another circumstance to which be wished to call attention. The Right Hon. Gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer had reverted, with peculiar sa tisfaction, to the fact that during the whole of the reign of William IV. there bad been no addition to the Civil List. This was perfectly true; but. the Right Hon.. Gentleman ought in justice to have stated that during the reign of Geo. IV., also, there had no addition accrued to the Civil ( Ilear, hear.) William IV. was to be preserved in the grateful recollection of his country because he did not permit any addition to accrue to the expenses of the country, some praise should also accrue to Geo. IV., who, during the period be held the throne, contrived also to keep up the establish ments of the country without requiring any addition to Li , - revenue. It was also stated by the Right Honourable the Chancellor of the Exchequer that her Majesty stood in a different situation from those who preceded her on the throne, inasmuch as other Sovereigns had the advantage cf having certain personal property devolved upon them from their predecessors, which was not the case in the present instance.—( Hear.) Now that might be true in some respects, as far as regarded some of her Ma jesty's predecessors ; but with regard to others it was a mis take. The Right lion. Gentleman the Chancellor of the Ex chequer would find that William IV. received no personal property from his predecessor ; what he received descended to him in virlute corona—George IV. having, to all intents and purposes, died intestate. The property, therefore. which descended to William IV., came to him in right of the Crown. If Williem IV., by such right, did receive a considerable sum of money, it should not be forgotten, that, to the honour of that Sovereign., lie forebore to take from the people what a willing people would willingly have given.—( Loud cheers.) Some members of the House wonid also recollect that when the Ministry proposed to grant an outfit to her Majesty Queen Adelaide, William IV. refused the grant, and bore the charge out of his nun funds—a charge which, on former occasions, did not fall far, if anything, short of 50,0001.—( Hear, hear, hear.) He did not make these observations -Ishii a view 'to disparage or controvert any proposition that might be subtsitted to the Committee ; he merely stated these facts in order that justice might be done to their deceased Sovereign.— ( Loud cheers.) He would only make another observa'ion. The Right Hon. Gentleman the Chaacellor the Exchequer had stated a certain saving as having accrued from the arrangement made in the year 1:.3 , 1 with respect to the Pension List. The Right lion. Gentleman took great credit to himself fur the fact that on a pension list of 164,0001. there leld been, under the legislative proVisons then made, a diminution of 26,000/.—(llear.) But at the same time he thought the fact was one which should not be lost sight of, that the Government which had preceded the present one, bad slap done. something in the reduction of these payments, for that whereas at the commencement or the reign of George IV. the Pension List amounted to 203,00 W., that amount was reduced to 10.1,000/. in the course of ten years. This was done tun, be it borne in mind, at a time when Parliamentary control was net exercised over the List, and when, if the Go vernment had been inclined to abuse the powers placed in their hands, they could have done so irresponsibly. The motion . was then put and agreed to, and the Com mittee appointed, consisting of 21 Members. Amongst the names were these of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Goulburn, Mr. Hume, Lord John Russell, Sir R. Peel, Mr. Strutt, Mr. Baring (of Portsmouth), Sir T. Arland, Mr. Hawes, Lord Viscount Ebrington, Mr. Geo. Evans, Mr. W. Miles, Mr. Grote, Sir Tho. Fremantle, Mr. Banner man, Mr. Robert Palmer, Mr. Villiers Stewart, Mr. Wm. Evans, Mr. Lucas, Mr. Sanford, and Mr. Macleod.—Five to form a Quorum. Col. PE EZ C EVA L moved for " a copy of a memorial for warded to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland from certain Magis trates of the county of Sligo, and others, imptignin , the con duct of Major Brown ( Government Magistrate) Suring the late contested election for the county, with the signatures at tached thereto :—also a copy of the report of the tribunal to which the investigation founded thereupon was intrusted, to gether with the decision - of the Lord Lieutenant, as commu nicatcd in a letter signpd by Mr. Under-secretary Drummond.' —Agreed to. POST-OFFICE. Mr. WALLACE, after a few short words in explanation with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, obtained a Select Committee to enquire into the preaent rates and mode of charging postage, with a view to such a reduction thereof as may b:2 made without injury to the revenue ; and for this pur pose to examine especially into the mode recommended for charging and collecting postage, in a pamphlet published by Mr. Rowland Hill.—Committee to be nominated to-morrow (this day.) The liOuse then went into a Committee of Supply pro ornia, when the passage from the Queen's speech on the subject of the estimates having been read, and a grant agreed to, the House resumed.—Adjourned at ulue o'clock.

The proceedings in the HOUSE of LORDS yesterday were few and brief ; but they, possess peculiar interest fi om the declara tions made by Lord BROUGHAM relative to two measures, both of which, in a different degree, are universally held to be im portant. In presenting a petition from Southampton, com plaining of the non-execution of the provisions of the Slavery Abolition Act, his Lordship avowed his conviction " that full freedom might immediaetly be granted to the slaves without any ill effect whatever." In reference to the Reform Bill also, Lord BROUGHAM ex plicitly declared his opinion. The Noble and Learned Lord, in supporting a petition• presented by the Duke of NORFOLK, the object of which was to obtain an amendment in the reg►is tration clauses of that Act, Lord Mmma"! said aat " he did not thir.k that mere corrections and amendments in the details of the Bill would suffice. Experience had plainly shown the absolute necessity of amending the measure i.i some important particulars, and he alluded especially to the elective franchise." In the House of COMMONS the principal debate arose upon the subject of the Civil List, Pensions, and Sinecures. We have adverted to this subject in a separate article. The only other points in yesterday's interesting proceedings which we need notice here are the following :—Petitions were I r!sented against the returns of Members for the city of London, for Newcastle-under-Lyne, the city of Durham, the county of Huntingdon, and Queen's County in Ireland. Notice of motion was g iven by Mr. BLEWITT on the sub ject of the " Spottiswood e conspiracy." The stand-still policy of the organ of the Cabinet in the House of Commons has called into requisition the giant energies of Lord BROUGHAM. The mighty leader of the people once more places himself at their head, prepared to conduct them to new victories. In the moment of peril his powerful voice is raised to ani mate the timid—to re-assure the desponding—to fix the - wavering—and to convince the zealous advocates of Reform that the cause in which they are embarked is constitutional, just, and necessary. Never did the great HENRY BROUGHAM, when shaking the House of Commons with the thunders of his eloquence, give utterance to convictions in a strain of bolder and loftier earnestness than did the Noble and Learned Lord in the Ilouse of Peers last night, when seconding the prayer of the petition from Sheffield, praying for an amendment in the race-paying and registration clauses of the Reform 1311: It was with even more than his pristine vigour that his Lord-• ship—overstepping the narrow limits prescribed to themselves by the petitioners—electrified the House by leclaring, that even a reform of the clauses complain e d of might be found inadequate to the just demands of the country. " I do not think that these corrections"—. exclaimed the Noble and Learned Lord, referring to the amendments prayed for in the rate-paying a mi d registration clauses of the Reform Bill—" that these amendments, or that any corrections, or any amendments in the mere details zy . the Reform Act, will suffice to render that measure particularly and certainly adequate to the great end--the great view which was entertained by those whoframed—by those who suppoited—by those who adopted that namely, the securing to the people of this country a free and full representation in the Commons Houseeof Parliament." What a contrast between this states inenlike declaration and the stunted Tory avowal .of LOrd JOHN RUSSELL! The Noble and Learned Lord proceeded :—" I will not at present, my Lords, enter into the details of what I believe to be the ne cessary amendments which that Act has been proved by experience to require—which experience has shown the absohne necessity of making in some of the _Andre mental princip'es of the Bill—l mean especially the cxtension of the tlective Franchise. My Lords, I am as seriously aware of the necessity 2fan extension fy Mat right to the people as I was qf the ne cessity cf the Reform Bill at the time it was proposed and adopted." These are the sentiments of a true Statesman—of a British Peer vs ho dis dains to be a party to any transaction having for its object the robbing of the people of the benefits in • tended for them by time honest framers of the It2form Bill. The Noble and Learned Lord boldly de clares the object of that Bill to have been the free and full Representation of the People in the Commons House of Parliament," and that that object he is prepated to assist the Reformers to realizing. We accept with thankfulness—with every expression of heartfelt gratitude—the co-opera tion of the Noble and Learned .Lord, averring, at the outset, that our views—our desires—do not extc: d beyond those which he has thus expressed in his place in the House of Peers. We may differ from Lord BRouGunm as to the means, but our great and sole object is to obtain the free and full representation of the people in Parliament. Give us this, and we Will ask no more. It includes the Ballot—Household Suffrage everything necessary to the triumph of honesty over corruption ; of, public principle over 44s false and fraudulent devotion to personal inte rest. With Lord 13aouGHA et and the Reform banner at their head, the people may look with tolera ble indifference upon the individual secession of Lord JOHN RUSSELL from their ranks. We repeat, the individual secession of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, be cause we have, as yet, no grounds for inferring that his Lordship's opinions upon the Reform question are those were, t n w o e u have ii A toohf as much nu their dependenceleaderlil England, entertained by his Noble and Right Hon. Colleagues. ON in Irel an d—t o h es i ta t e But even if they on tliepe ih B G amid U C an instant in pronouncing NELL on what side would be .the victory. Whi g and Tories combi ne d arc — t h an k Heaven l—no'fonger a match for the liberal and en lightened people of the United Kingdom. If it has fallen to our lot within the last two or three days to condemn the course pursued by Lord JOHN RUSSELL with respect to the reform of the Reform Act..--a duty which we can truly say w e performed more in sorrow than in anger—we have today to discharge the more congenial office of directing the public attention to a proceeding on the, part of her MAJESTY'S Ministers which claims the unqualified approbation of the country- 7 .We mean th e i r mo d e o f dealing with thellension List, as detailed last night in the speech of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE(,),UER, We do not mean to say that as a set-off against the Ballot, extension of Sal age, and short Parliaments, this is any thing more than the Lithe of mint and eummin compared with the weightier matters of the law ; but we hail it as a good as far as it goes, and as an earnest that as far as the expenditure of the public money is concerned,, the Government will not only adept a Mostrigid eco nomy, but will subject that expenditure, to the last farthing, to the test of the public examination. There is no subject connected with our financial arrangements which has occasioned so much dissatisfaction as the pensions granted out of the people's money—not on account of the amount merely, but from a belief, in many cases too well founded, that the pensions' were bestowed upon unworthy objects, and also because the right of the people to inquire into the distribution of the money thus bestowed has - been obstinately con tested. By the statement of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, it will be seen that this state of thing's is to exist no longer. . The Right Hon. Gentleman, in - moving that the estimates laid upon the hble by the Government re speeting the Civil List shon'Al be referred to a Select Commitiee, was necessarily. called upon to-go over the sources of expence to which the Civil List is liable, and to state the changes which it was proposed to make in the management of the hereditary revenues of the Crown. 'These revenues have in latter times been partially sur rendered to the nation in lieu of a certain sum voted by Parliament for the Civil List. In the present instance it is intended to surrender the whole, ex cept the duchies of Cornwall and Lancaster, which, though they cannot be so given up, are to be regu lated on a different plan. The whole of the Pension List is to be revised, the reasons for which each pension has been granted rigidly inquired into, and in every future year the list is to be submitted to the House of Commons, so that no departure from the principle, that merit alone is to be the ground of a pension, may take place. • The memorable declarations of Lord JOHN Rus- SELL on Monday and Tuesday night engross entirely the political conversations of Reformers, and believing, as many of them do, that these declarations Were only the result of individual opinions, and not sanctioned by the Cabinet,. the denunciations against his Lordship are loud and severe. We speak the sentiments of every sincere Reformer, when we declare that, never, on any occasion, not excepting even the rash speech of the Duke o f WELLINGTON in 1830, were two speeches so inopportune, so injudicious, and so uncalled-for made, as those in which he proclaimed to the country his opinions on the Ballot, and the character of Borough Constituencies. Never at any election seas such a wholesale system of bribery prac tised in boroughs, or such intimidation resorted to in counties as within the last few months ; these too, be it remembered, springing out of the de fects, and being in direct contravention of the prin ciples of the Reform Bill; and yet in the face of these and in defiance as it were of public opinion, the noble Lord comes forward with breathless haste to de nounce the only scheme yet devised for checking bribery, and to lavish his praises on the representative body returned by tenants-at-will, by electors little raised above the, ignorant peasantry, and by the whole body of parsons, hitherto his most bitter enemies, and the most bitter enemies of all reform. No wonder that the people are lost in utter amazement at such wil ful self-destruction, and that they are driven to the necessity of forming concrusions which till within these three days they had hardly ventured even to imagine. It is true that some of the more sagacious took alarm at the speech of Lord EBRINGTON—caIIed him the feeler—the GEORGE.DAWsoN of the party, and be lieved that hc was put forward by Lord JOHN RUSSELL for the purpose of showing that the question of Ballot was hopeless when the leader of the independent Whigs was opposed to it; but then even these sagacious —these ardent Reformers were inclined to think that there was a difference only on one point, and were utter strangers to the suspicions which they now entertain. It is fit, therefore, that his Lordship and the Govern ment should know what these suspicions are. The people suspect, notwithstanding his solemn assurance to the contrary, that there is an understanding between Lord JOHN RUSSELL and the Conserva tives, that he made those uncalled-for, those Tory declarations, in order to prepare a place of retreat, and to fall back upon PEEL, and STANLEY, and GRAHAM; in case the thorough-going Reformers should become restive under his leadership. But these suspicions arc the least of the evil—the public suspect a great deal more—the mysterious expulsion of Lord BROUGHAM is now accounted for; that con sistent and upright Statesman was driven from the Ca binet because he wAs too liberal—because he was con vinced, in his own words last night, " actual experience had slioNn the absolute necessity of amending the Re form Bill, not only in its details, but in its fundamental principles," and the old KING, with his Tory propen sities, was made the scapo-goat. GOD forbid that we should impute such policy to Lord MELBOURNE'S Government ; but it is right they should know that these imputations are abroad : and they may rest assured that such charges will be cheered by all the ultra-Tories, and re-echoed by every liberal and independent con stituency throughout the United Kingdom. We be lieve Lord JOHN RUSSELL is alone to blame, and he alone ought to suffer ; but the rest of the Cabinet have a duty to perform. If such opinions were entertained by all of them, what would be their hopes at the next election ? Is there an independent Borough Consti tuency that would at the present moment return Lord JOHN RUSSELL ? We doubt if Kilmarnock would, even with all the aid of the theological cant anfbigotry of Mr. COLQUIWUN. Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S declaration in the House of Commons the other evening appears to have pro duced just the effect we anticipated. It has has set the Metropolitan Reformers on the qui vine, and roused all their best energies. " At a numerous meet ing," siys a Morning Contemporary, " of the West minster Reform Association, which was held on Wed nesday night, for the purpose of taking into considera tion the propriety of making some demonstration of the feelings of the electors on the subject of Lord JOHN Russ or.L's remarks in Parliament on Monday evening, it was resolved that a public meeting should be immediately called, to take such means as should appear most conducive to enforce the necessity of the Ballot, extension of the Suffrage, Triennial Par. figments, and the repeal , of the rate-paying clauses of the Reform Bill." The same subject was al luded to at the dinner of the iVlarylebone Asso ciation, which took place yesterday, iihen Sir SAM U EL WHALLEY, who was present, expressed his opinion of his Lordship's conduct in just and for cible terms, adding that he " had now lost all hope of any ultimate good being derived by the people from the present House of Commons. A few days' experience hid been sufficient to convince him of the glaring fact that coquetry was going on between the distinguished leaders of the two great parties, in which the interests of the people would have no share." We are sorry to say that Lord JOHN R. ussEm. has afforded but too much ground for this distrust, though when the matter is calmly considered, it will be seen at once that Ministers could never enter into anything like a coalition-with the Tories. They could only do so by perilling all that man most holds sacred—honour, g ratitude, and integrity-- a wanton shipwreck of character which we are convinced the present Cabinet would never dream of making. What, coalesce with that very faction, their direct opposition to whose political principles, constitute Ministers' main re commendation with the people ? Impossible ! We c annot—will not— think so basely of them. Vacil lating they may be, and. inert, and distrustful of all who hold opinions more liberal than their own ; but as for their becoming traitors to Re f om—uaitors to a generous and confiding people— traitors to those solemn pledges which they have a thousand times sworn to maintain inviolate ;—as for Ministers ever disgracing themselves by conduct like this, we will not credit such a suppesi. fon for an instant. Besidea, have we not Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S own express declaration, that nothing was ever further from his thoughts ? On this point, at least, his Lordship's remarks were sa tisfactory enough ; and so decided and explicit as not to leave a single loop-hole for retreat. Coali tion, therefore, there will be none ; but doubtless there will be much delay and hesitation on the part of Ministeis i where there should be nothing but prompti tune and energy : so let the people keep a sharp lcok nut a-head. Above all, let them persevere in their demands for the Ballot. Because Lord JOHN RUSSELL is " virtuous," shall there be no more " cakes and a!e ?" Not EO. His Lordship's oppo sition to .the Ballot shall not scare us from demanding it ; hut, on the contrary, make us still more resolute in insisting on it. We copy the following leading PartTrap!' from the: Morning Post of Tuesday, to which, vie regret to say, the crowded state of our columns prevented us from earlier adverting :-- " In answer to a very. heartless attack made in The Sun of yesterday on our correspondent Mr. Grandson we have to say that our. friend has not, as The Sun alleges, acted as a partisan of Don Carlos, nor Ills he vituperated Lord Palmer ston, or Sir George Villiers." Now in common justice to us cur Contemporary o to have quoted what he calls the." very heart less attack" made by this Journal Ilion his Correspon dent. If we know out selves we arc incapable of making a " heartless attack" upon an enemy, much less upon a gentleman of whom personally we known nothing, and whom publicly we only know as thz Carlist Cor respondent' of one of the most respectable of our Tory Contemporaries. But the best answer to this charge, will he to republish the article upon which the Post founds it, that the public may judge if it be defensible ; " We have learned with pleasure that Esparteru has ordered the teleasa of Mr. Grunicson, the correspondent of the Morn ing Post at the head-quarters of Don Carlos, recently taken prisoner by the Christinos, and confined in Loran°. Among Mr. Grunieson's papers, forwarded for the inspection of the Christino Commander-in-Chief, were—according to the cur rent rumour at Bayonne, on the 14th instant—certain letters addressed to partisans of the Pretender in England. Mr. Grunicson appears to have acted as a partisan himself, and most probably would have lost his life, but for the timely inter ference of the distinguished objects of his constant vitupera tion—Sir George Villiers and. Lord Palmerston." This article appeared in our columns of Monday. On the same day the Chronicle published a letter from Madrid, dated the 11th inst., in which we find the following paragraph:— " I have just read a letter from an officer who read at Lo grono all the correspondence found with Messrs. Gruneison and Heningsen, when taken by the Nati9nal Guards and con fined in prison there. One of the letters, he states, was from Arias, Minister of State to Don Carlos, addressed to an English Lord (Carnarvon), thanking him for his "book," and great exertions in his " Majesty's" behalf in Parliament. The letter is written in the Minister's own hand-writing in very indifferent French. It has told much against Messrs. Heningsen and Gruneison with the Spanish Government that they had passports as Carlists and Christinos." The correspondence from Bayonne, to which we referred, will be found in the columns of our Morning and Evening Contemporaries of Monday. We have no wish to establish the fact of Mr. GRUNIESON'S partizanship—if indeed it be a fact ;we only seek to show that we did not make the charge on slight grounds. We said c 4 Mr. GRUNIESON appears to have acted as a partisan of Don CARLOS, and we repeat it does so appear at present, notwithstanding the wholesale denial of the Post. . For a confirmation of the charge of vituperating the British Minister for Foreign Affairs, and our Ambassador at the Court oF Spain, preferred by us against Mr. GRUNIESON, we refer to Mr. OrRUNIESON'S own letters in the columns of our Contemporary. If, however, the term " vitupe ration" be objected to as harsh, we willingly consent to withdraw it, if we may substitute abuse—foul and wanton abuse in its stead. We are not now called upon to prove that the distinguished objects of such abuse did nothing to justify its application by a poli tical opponent—we simply repeat that it was em ployed, and that to the humane interference ot the ob jects of it, Mr. GRUNIESON most probably owes his _life. Will the Post do us the justice to publish this explanation of what it has so cavalierly denounced as a " very heartless attack" upon his Correspondent ? Mr. WALLACE obtained a Select Committee, last night, to inquire into the subject of a reduction of the rates of postage, on the plan suggested by Mr. Row- LAND HILL. The Paris Journals of Wednesday have been re ceived. During the five previous days great uneasi ness prevailed on the Bourse, in consequence of a re port prevailing, that Ministers had resolved to propOse to the Chamber a plan for the reduction of the interest on the Five per Cent. Rentes. To quiet the appre hensions of the money-changers, an article appeared in the Charte of Tuesday night, stating that Ministers had adopted no resolution on the subject of the Rentes, and that any reduction of the interest would not ex ceed one-half per cent. From Spain the French Government received the following intelligence : " The court-martial held at Pampeluna on the 14th, con demned to death Colonel Leon Iriarte, of the Tiradores, the Clmmanditnt, and seven sergeants, who were executed. The officers have been condemnod to two months' imprisoament, and sent to Ceuta, together with the whole regiment. This passed with the greatest tranquillity. The troops of Espar tero marched on the 20th, and were to reach Valearlos on the 21st." " NARBONNE, Nov. 21. —UrbistondO joined Tristany on the 20th, before Puyeerda. They surrounded the town, and have already burned two houses." The Madrid papers received are to the 14th inst. inclusive. One hundred and five Deputies and fifty Senators had arrived in the capital. The chiefs of the Moderarlos are now as enthusiastic as the Exaltados in their professions of attachment to the Constitution of 1837. The capital was tranquil. FRENCH FONDS -PAWIE., Nov. 22.
