SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. We have ever made allowance for the untoward circumstances with which Sir Robert Peel has had to struggle, and have even attributed to these circum stances the unfortunate tone and manner Which sug gested Joseph Surface as the model on which his cha racter was formed. The endeavour to stave off the convictions which a naturally good understanding were continually suggesting, led him to affect a more inti mate persuasion than he really felt, and thus commu nicated to his arguments something of a false and in sincere tone. That his understanding and his argu ments were often fighting with each other, was appa rent to every close observer ; • and the facility with which, in his famous speech in favour of Catholic Emancipation, he scattered the arguments he had himself urged only a short time before, sufficiently proved that his former errors were not chargeable to his intellect. But we must not allow our fa- vourable opinion of Sir Robert's understanding to blind us to the circumstance that that understand- ing is yet in thraldom. We have no doubt, for in stance, that in his Glasgow speeches Sir Robert will lay down many liberal positions, and utter many generous sentiments ; but the question is not so much what he says, as what he will he allowed to do. The Right Hon. Baronet is in bad company. He cannot break from his associates if he would. They will have no objection to his quasi liberal sentiments so long as they aid in deluding the people ; but these sentiments will have no effect on the Tory policy. Sir Robert is banded with men who are opposed to all measures con ducive to the benefit of the whole people. The terms of the union are resistance to the just demands of the people. Though personally incorrupt, he is bound to support a system of corruption. `'Were he to abandon the colours under which he has hitherto fought, and take refuge among the advocates of popular rights, he would be received with open arms. But so long as he is connected with the enemies of the people, his good quali ties (and he has many) only render him a more dangerous opponent. Lord Lyndhurst is too openly the soldier of fortune, who gives himself up recklessly to those by whom he is retained, to be formidable to the people. The Duke of Newcastle, the Earls of Winchilsea and Roden, and the rest of the blind and fanatical oppo nents of popular rights, are not the enemies whom the nation has most to dread. The men who really give strength to the bad cause are statesmen like Sir Robert Peel, whose private virtues, purity in office, and secret wishes for the good of their country, throw into the shade the vices of the system to which they are wedded. The people of Scotland have always had the reputation of shrewd discernment. As Sir Walter Scott observed, the logical predomi nates in them over the imaginative. They will stare at Sir Robert, and listen with satisfaction to his oratory ; but they will not allow themselves to be be trayed into anything like confounding satisfaction with the speaker with approbation of his cause. They are not easily led away by flourishes. John Wesley, who tried hard to gain converts in Scotland, through which he often travelled, was at first highly delighted with the calmness with which the Scotch listened .to him ; but at last he. exclaimed, " Oh ! these Scotch, they listen to me as patiently as if they were stones ; but, alas ! they are also as hard as stones." We are much mistaken if Sir Robert find much cause to plume him self on his conversions to Toryism in Scotland. He will find the people on that subject hard as stones.— Mdrning Chronicle. A question has been pertinently asked, " Would the New Poor Law have passed prior to the passing of the Reform Act ?" Having given the latter our cordial, though humble, support, it is not without some regret that we declare our conviction that in the unreformed Parliament no measure of such unchristian and unsvmpathising severity would have succeeded. This is an unfortunate admission for the cause of re form ; hut, believing it to be the case, we feel com pelled to make it. The reverse of this might naturally enough have been expected, and that by widening the constituency, one consequence would be to place a pro portion of the representation in the hands of persons nearer approaching to, and consequently feeling greater sympathy towards, the labouring classes than had hitherto been the case. It is true that much of past experience was opposed to this theory ; and that it was to the wealthy and higher classes, as well in the capacity of neighbours and employers, as of Magistrates, that the labourer had experienced that succour, protection, and justice, which his situation and that of his family, so loudly called for. From this class much of the elements of representation were drawn, and however faulty the elective, or rather nominative sys tem may have been, we fear that in many respects it has been but ill replaced by the Roebucks, the Bul wers, the Wakley's, and the other Members of the tribe of Radicals, whose Parliamentary labours, next to their own aggrandisement, appear mainly to consist in inventing artificial wants, while overlooking real ones. It is to the tribe of Doctrinaires, with Lord Brougham at their head, that the country owes the measure of harsh and grinding injustice to which we allude—a measure which in its operation is doing more to unhinge society, and to dissatisfy the labour ing classes, than any measure which ever passed the Legislature in its unreformed days. It is true that there arc some among the Radicals themselves, and among the organs of the Press, that are beginning to trim upon this subject ; but, besides having postponed their recantation under this head till the eleventh hour, they almost universally express a readiness to abandon their present sentiments should they embarrass the Ministry ; and evidently deem the cause of the poor and helpless as of infinitely minor importance to the ballot, church rates, and other mere party or theoretical objects. If in ta king this view of the matter, we do the Members of the Reformed House of Commons any injustice, they will speedily have it in their power to refute us by their actions. Let them, when Parliament meets, show the country that they prefer and know how to distin guish practical utility from mere theoretical objects. Of the many topics which present themselves for legislative interference, the two most important are the establish ment of a judicious system of poor laws for Ireland, and the repeal or great amelioration of the new Whig poor law for England. Let us see whether these will be the first objects taken up, and pursued with the zeal and earnestness which tests sincerity. If they are, we shall be among the first to applaud men, of whatever party, who so conduct themselves. But if, as we too much fear will be the case, we arc doomed again to see those interesting topics among " dropped orders" and " postponed notices," while the plunder of the Protes tant Church of Ireland, the abolition of church rates in England, and the ridiculous affair of the ballot, are put forward in their stead, we shall naturally be in duced to ask, " What have the people gained by a Reformed Parliament ?"—Morning Herald. We received at a late hour this morning, by express, a full report of the interesting proceedings on the in auguration of Sir Robert Peel as Lord Rector of the University of Glasgow. This report forms the most prominent portion of our paper, and will, without any recommendation from us, command the general and earnest attention of our readers. It will be seen that the University of Glasgow, at which, for many years, Whig politics maintained an unequivocal, if not an uncontested, ascendancy, now vies with the great seats of learning in the southern parts of the island in the expression of ardent and en thusiastic attachment to Conservative principles. The cheers and the groans by which the students of the northern University manifested upon this occasion their political predilections were as intense as ever shook the domes of Oxford or Cambridge ; and their distribution among the public characters of our day seems to have been governed at Glasgow by the same just laws which have always guided the decisions of the British Universities on similar occa sions. Yet the change and the temper and principles of the youth of Glasgow, conspicuous as it seems, is, we believe, much di re apparent than real. The stu dents of the northern University now express contempt for a school of Statesmen whom they or their prede cessors were wont vehemently to applaud ; but it is be cause that school, once associated, in the ardent ima gination of youth, with the principles of the British Constitution, and with the general cause of human freedom, is now seen in alliance with the irreconcileable enemies of both—it is because that school has degene rated from its former character, or (ought we not ra- ther to say ?) because, in the progress of events, that veil of delusion by which its real character was once concealed,has been effectually torn asunder. Now that the Whigs are seen in open confederacy with the demo cratic revolutionists of Great Britain for the overthrow of ,he British Constitution, and with the Popish revolu- Lonists of Ireland for the overthrow of the Pro- testant Church, they are of course appreciated at their real va►ue by all the honourable and loyal portion of their former adherents. But we willingly quit this pain ful train of reflection for a theme which must afford satisfaction and delight to every class of the commu nity. It will at once be perceived that we allude to the magnificent inaugural oration of Sir Robert Peel. We cannot bestow upon this admirable production a juster or a more exalted eulogy, than when we say that it is entirely worthy of the unrivalled powers, and the eminent reputation, of its distinguished author. It breathes throughout the spirit of the accomplished scholar ; the high-minded gentleman ; the consummate statesman ; the pious and devout Christian ; and the emanations of this spirit are so finely blended with the earnest tone of affectionate and parental admonition, that we do not hesitate to pronounce the entire composition one of the finest and most appropriate that the world has yet seen upon any occasion. Sir Robert Peel has repaid the youth of Glasgow by his speech in abundant measure for the high honour which they had conferred upon him ; for we hold it to be impostible that of the numerous body of students who received its impressions warm from the lips of the orator, there should be a single indivi dual whom it will not have rendered a wiser, a better, and a happier man. We foresee that wherever the British language is known this inimitable address will be placed by every father in the hands of his sons, with the brief and impressive admonition—" As you value your future happiness and fame, treasure up in your memory and your heart the advice and instruc tions of the Lord Rector of Glasgow."—Morn. Post. There has been, it seems, a Radical meeting at Kid derminster, where certain individuals of that kidney gave a dinner to Mr. George Richard Philips, their M.P., who in return for, we dare say, a very hospitable entertainment, gave his Radical auditory but a very middling speech. If on their side was the flow of soul, certainly the feast of reason was not furnished by the Hon. Gentleman. We have only time to no tice some two or three of the attempts of Mr. George Richard Philips upon the understandings of his hearers. Because the Ministers arc called " Destructives" by one class of the people of England, and by another por tion of their countrymen a set of " timid noodles," not havin g pluck to do mischief nor sense to do good, he (Mr. G. R. Philips) declares that, being abused by both parties, each of which the Hon. Member chooses to designate as an extreme one, he is quite satisfied that the Melbourne Ministers have steered the middle, which he considers the judicious, course, and that they have hit what he terms the " golden mean," and there fore he has not only afforded them a " generous and consistent" support, but he inflicts upon them his munificent and undiscriminating panegyric. Now, suppose we try Mr. G. R. Philips's logic with re ference to an individual personage. Imagine such a thing possible as that one extreme party of political critics should pronounce Mr. G. R. Philips to be a downright knave, and others to insist that he was no such thing, but only an egregious and arrant booby. We are, according to the mode of argu ment adopted by the Hon. Gentleman in this in stance, to take for granted that he is neither one thing nor the other, but that he has hit "the golden medium," and deserves our highest admiration, as something " be tween a knave and a fool." Such is the real value of the panegyric pronounced upon the Whigs of the Rump by one of their most " generous" supporters. But when Mr. G. IL Philips talks of the "course" pursued by His Majesty's Ministers, we beg leave to ask him what he means ? " Course" implies " pro gress, or something of that hind,' as we have always conjectured. Now what " progress" in any line or " path," as he calls it, of policy has been made by these " gold-mean" hitting Ministers ? They have pro gressed in time it is true. They have progressed in the receipt of their salaries, each Cabinet place-bolder having bagged some 8,000/. or 10,0001. of the national revenue since they forced their way into the King's closet, and then stormed the public treasury. But what other progress have they made ? What have they done for all that inoney ? What one good measure have they even proposed ? or, much more, what one have they carried through Parliament in the form in which they proposed it ? Has not the Government been at a dead lock ever since they came into office ? Then the second figure of speech resorted to by Mr. Philips appears to be as unfortunate as the first. He tells us that the Popish Monopoly Corporation Bill is to be again brought forward this year, and "carried." Prophetic Philips ! He tells us that the question of Irish tithes is to him a subject of " sincere sorrow" (is he a lay impropriator in Ireland ?), and adds his hopes that it will be finally and satisfactorily settled, with a view to the well being of the Protestant estab lishment in Ireland. Do, pray, dear Mr. Philips, in your neutral character of neither knave nor fool, but some sort of intermediate entity—do think a little before you thus let loose your aspirations. Do you so far impose upon your own conscience as to flatter yourself that the appropriation clause—the talisman of the Whigs—that " open Sessamy" by which they found their way into the Government— do you still besmear "your chest" with the " flattering " ointment"—that the appropriation clause—" the golden mean" of the Whigs—will, if passed within the next six weeks, settle the sorrowful tithe question, or secure and perpetuate the Established Church of Ireland ? Why, who are the authorities to be looked up to on this matter ? The Whigs propose the clause, professing that it is for the good of the Church, and on the ground that it is to satisfy the discontented Papists. But what say the Papists themselves ? They give the Ministers the lie direct. They inform Lord John Russell flatly, that the clause is to them worth nothing in respect of a pacifier ; and to the church worth nothing as a security. They tell Lord John Russell that they, the Roman Catholics, value it only for attributes, which he says it does not possess--an - d which, if he and his colleagues could have imputed to it, they would never have introduced it, viz., its establishment of a principle of indefinite spoliation of the Protestant church, and its tendency to facilitate that object which O'Connell and the priests now boast fully declare they have in view, and will never desist from prosecuting—namely, the total overthrow of the Protestant establishment in Ireland.—This, then, is the rationale of the vote for the appropriation clause about to be given by Mr. Philips, and to which the pig-headed and muddy-hearted Ministers have pledged themselves. They profess their anxiety to secure and perpetuate the church, While with their eyes open they employ as their instrument a measure which the Papists themselves avow to be the fittest possible for its de struction I So far as concerns the House of Lords and its destruction, Mr. G. R. Philips, like Sir Hussey Vivian, is a waiter upon Providence, and on Mr. Da niel O'Connell. He wisely postpones his assault upon the Peerage, until he can reckon upon a sufficient force of march-of-intellect heroes to assist him—Mr. G. R. Philips ! I !— Times. The mission of Sir Robert Peel to Scotland, so far as accounts have yet reached us, in every respect coin cides with our anticipations, that is to say, the Tories have made every effort to magnify it into fictitious im portance, and every successive attempt has served only to make a more ludicrous exposure of the impostures practised by the parties concerned in the betting up of these false demonstrations. Yesterday we were fa voured by the Tory prints with the report of the pre sentation of what was represented to be an address from the Presbytery of Lanark, to Sir Robert Peel ; but on referring to the signatures, we found that only five out of the twelve members of this reverend body had attached their names ; so that, instead of being considered as the address of the Presbytery, it must, like the defeated address of Paisley, be regarded merely as the address of the individuals who signed it. It might seem to some to be rather uncourteous and unclencal in the dissentient members of the Presbytery to prepare a counter-address, as was done in Paisley ; but it may be fairly inferred that the seven members whose signatures do not appear to the address, are not admirers of Sir Robert's political career, and under the circumstances the withholding of their signatures is a tacit expression of their censure. The faction are straining every nerve to prevail on the operatives of Glasgow to offer to Sir Robert some mark of their confidence. It is said that the rejected of the Town Council is to be presented with the privilege of a mer chant burgess of the city, which is to be purchased by subscription, and presented in a silver box. This does not surprise us, for it is an old mode with the Tories, when foiled by fair means, to en deavour to obtain the popular suffrage by purchase, as almost every contested electi•n in town or country can testify. But it would be a gross delusion to suppose that the operatives of Glasgow will subscribe to such an object, though perhaps they might be prevailed upon, as has been already suggested, to contribute to wards the presentation of a silver shuttle, as this would convey a moral which might restrain Sir Robert from his habits of tergiversation. The com positors in the printing establishments of Glasgow, as might be expected from men of their intelligence, when called upon by the address-manufacturers for their signatures, rejected the application with scorn— a feeling which we can state from positive and authen tic information, to be the prevailing sentiment amongst all the trades of Glasgow, in respect to the calumnious Imputation endeavoured to be flung upon them in representing them as admirers of the Peel policy.—Morning Advertiser. A Commission of Lunacy was held on Friday at Gray's Inn Coffee-house to ascertain the state of mind of Mrs. Ann Williams, a widow lady residing at Tottenham. After a full examination of the circumstances the follo•ving verdict was returned, " That Mrs. Williams was of un sound mind, and incapable of managing her affairs, and had been so from the Ist of November last." The lunatic had had upwards of 30,0001. left to her since her husband's decease, and the executor of the will had thought it ne cessary to have this inquiry, as she was incapable of ma naging her affairs.—On Monday a similar inquiry was held at the same place respecting the sanity of Mr. Warlters, late of Carmarthen, and now of St. Alban's ; and the Jury found that he had been of unsound mind since Feb., 1836. Wednesday the fine male giraffe, belonging to the Surrey Zoological Gardens, arrived in London, from Liver pool, Manchester, &c., where he has been for the last five months, exhibiting under the superintendence of Mr. War wick, who brought him over to England ; and although the animal has been travelling during the late severe storm no accident has befallen him, nor does he appear to have suffered in health from the low temperature to which he has been exposed. The Abyssinian attendant, Mahomet, is also in excellent health, though feeling the effects of our northern winter as much as the animal. An immense cara van, 18 feet high, was built at Salford, to transport him to the gardens, where his arrival was hailed by the subscribers and visitors assembled with great delight. A pair of splen did lionesses has also been added to this daily improving collection. The opinion of Henry, late Earl of Pembroke, who died in 1794, concerning Bishops, being an extract from a letter to Garrick, dated Wilton House, March 4, 1771 : " Though business will prevent my attending personally in the House of Lords, for Mr. Gibson (manager of the Liverpool Theatre ; the Liverpool Playhouse Bill was brought into the House of Peers at this time), I have de sired Lady Pembroke to beat up for as many troops for him as she can, and as it is to oppose an opinion of the Church, I trust she will get a good many to majority the Bench, who, far from a voice, should by rights have no seat but in a pew anywhere." The original letter is in the collection of Mr. Wm. Upcott. At the beginning of the present month, a young wo man of Chateauneuf, in the Drome, set out for Valence, to meet a young man at a notary's, in order to sign a contract of marriage between them. She had with her a written promise from her lover, settling upon her the sum of 800 francs. Several days having elapsed without her return, her friends became alarmed, and made inquiries. They subsequently found her handkerchief and cloak hanging on some shrubs which grew o n th e f ace o f a steep rock over hanging the Isere, and no doubt remained that she had been murdered and thrown into the river, although her body has not been found. Strong circumstances of suspicion being attached to her intended husband, named Lioret, and two of his associates, Carrier and Tabarin, those three indivi duals were arrested, and conducted to the prison at Va lence. It appears that Lioret had been induced by his confederates to entice the poor girl to the fatal spot where she was murdered, having been first robbed of the promise of marriage and a sum of 320 francs she had with her.— French Paper. MR. CANNING.-The following instance of Mr. Canning's eccentricity is given in the Foreign Quarterly Review. It relates to a proposed commercial treaty be twixt the Government of the Netherlands and our own. The negociation languished, and Mr. Canning and Mr. Huskisson were tired out. In the January, 1826, Sir C. Bagot, our Ambassador at the Hague, received, while at tending the King's Court, a dispatch, in cipher very short, but accompanied by every indication of urgency and im portance. Unfortunately he had not with him the key of the cipher, and he was kept in a state of great anxiety during the interval occupied in procuring it ; at last the let ter was deciphered, and the following is a literal copy of this important communication, made by the command of his Britannic Majesty to his Minister at the Hague : " In matters of commerce, the fault of the Dutch Is giving too little and asking too much ; With equal advantage the French are content, So we'll clap on Dutch bottoms a twenty per cent. Twenty per cent. Twenty per cent. Nous frapperons Falck with twenty per cent. " GEORGE CANNING." On Wednesday, two of those unusual visitants above bridge, namely, two immense porpoises, were seen from day light until the dusk of the evening playing their unwieldy gambols in the Thames between Westminster-bridge and Nine Elms (the Red House.) During the course of the day there were no less than twenty boats in pursuit of them ; and a Chelsea waterman, after many a lengthened chase and the expenditure of many a shot, succeeded in capturing the smaller of the two. The other, however, escaped a similar fate, although its numerous pursuers were equally eager in their efforts to make it prisoner. The appearance of such unfriendly animals at this season of the year, whether flying from some more ravenous pur suers, or themselves in pursuit of some minor prey, is generally considered to be indicative of very boisterous and severe weather. Royal!, the waterman of Milbank, shot the ramrod of his gun into the back of one of them. The Frankfort Gazette contains the following sta tistical document upon the population of the principal cities in Russia for the year 1833 :—St. Petersburg, 445,000 in habitants ; Moscow, 330,000 ; Odessa, 55,000 ; Kasan, 50,000 ; Riga, 50,000 ; Kiovia, 38,000 ; Wilna, 37,000 ; Sarstow, 34,000 ; Charcow, 33,000 ; Astracan, 31,000 ; Chitouisk, 26,000 ; Kalouga, 16,000 ; Woronesch, 23,000 ; Cronstadt, 25,000 ; Cherson, 25,000 ; Orel, 24,000 ; Ja- roslaw, 23,000 ; Kirchinew, 22,000 ; Nisnei Novogorod, 22,000 ; Toula, 22,000 ; Nicolajew, 20,000 ; Tambow, 20,000 ; Kourk, 20,000 ; Twer, 20,000 ; and Tells, 10,000. FRENCH POST-OFFICE.—The number of letters passing through the post-office in France, has increased greatly within the last fifteen years. In 1821 the average number stamped daily amounted to only 124,334, and of these no less than 889,000 upon the whole year had fallen en rebut, or became dead and unclaimed letters. In 1830, the daily average had increased to 174,841, and in 1835 it was 203,534. It is to be stated, however, that the estab lishment of a rural post, which has been in operation since the Ist of April, 1835, has contributed to swell this amount, as it is calculated that 4,000,000 of letters pass yearly through it. On the other hand the letters en rebut have increased in even greater proportion, for whilst in 1821 they were 889,000 in 1835 they amounted to the enormous figure of 1,945,183-2,000,000 of letters passing through the post-office without returning anything but their ashes. The revenue has kept pace with the increase in the number of letters. In 1821 it produced 23,892,698 fr. ;in 1830 it was 33,000,000 ; in 1832, 34,000,000 ; and every year since it has increased a million. By the budget of 1833 it amounted to 37,000,000. This amelioration is, no doubt, due to the progressive movement of business, but the talents of the distinguished head of the department ought fairly to receive some part of the merit.—Journal des Debats. At the Glasgow Assizes, on Saturday, Willi am Frazer, a coach driver, was tried on a charge of having murdered his wife on the 10th of July last at his house in Shuttle-street. It appeared that the wife of the prisoner was much addicted to drinking. On the day in question the prisoner had come home at an early hour in the morn ing, and found her lying on the floor apparently dying. He called a man, named Cowper, who lived in the flat be low, and requested him to go for a medical man as he feared she was dying. When first told that she was dying, Cowper said, " there was no fear of that," adding, " that she was only in the horrors after the fit of drinking she had last night." He almost immediately, however, went to Dr. Craig, who on his arrival pronounced her to be dead. Sus picion had been excited against the prisoner in consequence of the deceased having been heard to cry murder, but whether she received ill.treatment at the time from the pri soner there was no evidence to show. The prisoner, it ap. peared, was a steady and sober man, but the deceased was a confirmed drunkard. Injuries were discovered on the body, which it was believed the deceased could not have inflicted upon herself, but there being no evidence against the prisoner, the Judge directed the Jury to give him the advantage of any doubts they might have, and they ac cordingly returned a verdict of " Not proven." The an nouncement was received with cheers by a full Court. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, JANUARY 14, 1837. PRICES OF CANALS, DOCK STOCKS, - ASSURANCE COMPANIES, &c. &c. &c. LONDON, FRIDAY, :JAN'. 13.

Barbadoes at auction went off without spirit, but the prices obtained were considered equal to those of the last sale, and they sold at 645. to 68s. 6d. There continue to be no arrivals, and the stock is on the decrease ; fine descriptions are getting rather scarce. The deliveries last week were more than in the corresponding one of last year. No return has at present been received of the average Gazette price. There is a public sale of 120 hhds. Barbadoes advertised for next week. This afternoon the Market was in a very languid state, the grocers and refiners both being, except iu a few instances, out of the Market, and the limited quantity disposed of, which did not exceed 300 hhds., was at a further decline of 6d., making the fall this week Is. a Is. 6d., and only 1,700 hhds and trs. disposed of.
