s SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. It is no doubt true, as the Conservative writers • urge, that extensive reforms can only be effected when the people show, by the interest they take in them, that they are determined they shall be carried. When the Ministers of William the Fourth proposed their plan of Reform, it was so received by a grateful and enthusiastic nation, as to satisfy the most bigotted Tories that the voice of an united people was against them. Lord Wharncliffe, we remember, was much laughed at for referring to the tradesmen in Bond street as opposed to the Reform Bill ; for next day there was hardly a tradesman in the street who did not give a written contradiction of the statement. But a nation cannot be often excited to make such de monstrations as the people of this kingdom made during the crisis of the Reform Bill. Politicians ought, therefore, to do their-work well when the op portunity favours. The mariner cannot always have a trade wind when he wants it. It is now gene rally allowed that the Reform Bill, though an im mense improvement of our institutions, is far from yielding all the advantages the people expected from it, in consequence of the facilities which are still afforded to those who wish to enter Parlia ment, not through the people, but in spite of them, and in consequence of the unprotected state of those who exercise the suffrage. But the enemy has en tered horse, foot, and artillery, through the breaches which he has discovered in the charter of our liberties, and it depends on Reformers themselves to determine when the evils shall be remedied. Blackwood, a re doubtable Tory organ, tells us that these evils shall never be remedied. " The Conservative party," he says, "seek to put a veto upon organic revolution, or encroachments upon the Church and Constitution as by law established. Their aim and and is, in these points, to maintain the status quo. They say on these vital questions as the Barons of old, nolumusleges ,nutari. They insist merely that Government and legisla tion shall be carried on within the ancient limits of the Con stitution, with every latitude for practical improvement, but with an utter and everlasting exclusion of structural al terations. They say that the Church shall be protected in its property—they say that the House of Lords shall be upheld in its privileges. . . In communi cause potior semper est • conditio prohibentis. Fundamental innovations ought not to be thrust upon a di vided nation or a divided Legislature. Existing institu tions and organic principles ought not to be swept away without an overwhelming preponderance of opinions in fa vour of the change." The everlasting exclusion of structural alterations, after all, then, merely means that the Tories will only yield them, as they did the Reform Bill, upon com pulsion. But the Reformers may so far profit by the declaration of this Tory organ as to renounce all hope of structural change - favourable to popular liberty, which they are not prepared to demand in an irresisti ble manner. Some Reformers think that the ballot is one of those changes whiols, ere long, Tories them selves will be as eager to carry as their opponents. For there can be no question that tradesmen who vote for Tories do not always rest on a bed of roses any more than tradesmen who vote for Reformers. Besides, the middle classes, who suffer most from intimida tion, are shrewd and skilful in adapting means to ends. It is ridiculous to suppose that this class of men will patiently submit to the evils they now suffer from exercising their right of franchise without attempting to organize means of retaliation. In truth, if some mode of protecting the voter be not adopted, the Tories, and all who seek to persecute voters, will soon find they have had enough of it. Englishmen are not naturally vindictive ; but they have their feelings for their homes and families, and they will not suffer themselves to be trampled on. The oppressor may rest assured that his victim will turn on him. In Tait's Maga zine for September, in an article on the Scottish elec tions, the writer, adverting to Lord John R ussell's declaration, that the Committee to whom the framing the Reform Bill was confided suggested that the vote by ballot should be adopted, exclaims : " Alas ! what a world of tyranny on the one hand, and falsehood on the other, might have been saved to the na tion had this most salutary measure not been rejected! Then do we now say, let the pel - tle rise and rail out for the ballot, with that voice which they already know haw to make heard. They will find that the intimidatioa used in these elections has gained it many friends, and that among these are not a few Members of the new Par liament. . • • • • . We are must certainly convinced that it must now daily and hourly gain ground, until the loud and resistless voice of tile people shall carry it triumphantly through, as it for merly did the Reform Bill itself. This would, indeed, be carrying the Reform Bill a second time—or rather it would be producing a restored copy of it—since the first has been so riddled through and through by the pestilen tial perforations of the Tory worms as to have been rendered nearly altogether useless. With such a remedy before us, then, are we, after all our exertions, tamely to submit to see the very essence of the Reform Act eaten out by these Tory vermin, and nothin g left to u s b u t th e dry, shrivelled, and sa pl ess r i n d ? Alittle while ago we were full of expectation and panted with hope to see the flowers and fruits of Reform speedily and abundantly springing up in our path before us ; and now the cry in strument by which they were to be produced is in a fair way of being rendered rotten and unserviceable in our hands. Are we to bear this with asinine patience ? if we do, we shall well deserve to have the pack-saddle put upon our backs—the bit and halter in our heads—and so to he subjected again to endless Tory domination ; a fate that most assuredly will await us." This is stating the case fairly. The people may he assured that it resits with themselves whether or not they shall obtain this great improvement. It may at the same time be questioned whether, important as the change is, the people will rise for the Ballot alone, in the way likely to give effect to their demands. How ever this may be, they ought certainly to be prepared to take advantage of the first favourable conjuncture for effecting their object. The Tories imagine that by means of the fifty-pound franchise, by their inanmu vring in the smaller boroughs, and the venality of the freemen, they have obtained a secure lodgment under the Reform Bill ; but sufficient power still remains to the people, should the occasion rouse them to ex ertion, to triumph once more over the Tories. They should bear in mind that one great effort in favour of the Ballot may save them from endless persecution.— Morning Chronicle. A Cornish paper informs its readers, that Sir W. Molesworth " is entertaining a distinguished party at his seat near 'Bodmin," among which party are men tioned as the most distinguished Mr. Leader and Mr. C. Buller ; while the Gruntide, who is never to be outdone in impudence or folly, beats the Cornish- Court-Circular-man hollow, by holding up to the no tice of the pUblie an address of Lord Palmerston to his constituents " as affording a view of the opinions of a Cabinet Minister as to the course which the Go vernment intend to pursue." Heaven help us ! What a party must that be in which Mr. Leader and Mr. C. Buller are " distinguished"—what a condition of state affairs that in which the opinions of such a Cabinet Minister as Cupid are worth the foolscap which his protocols convert into waste paper ! When, how ever, the thorough-going hack of every Tory Ad ministration for the last thirty years is thought good enough for one of the leaders of a " Liberal" Go vernment, it can surprise no one to find that in the estimation of " Liberal" scribes the opinions even of such a person as Lord Palmerston are con sidered of consequence. Besides, as some folks think that " a reformed rake makes the best hus band," so the wiseacres of the " Liberal" press may have persuaded themselves that a reformed Tory makes the best Whig-Radical. Let us endeavour, then, to discover what new light has broken in upon Cupid's blindness. In the first paragraph of this address to the electors of Tiverton, his Lordship thanks them for the great honour they have done him ; bids them be assured that he will strive to show himself worthy of their confidence, and speaks of them as the " intelli gent and active community" he has the " good for tune" to represent. There is little worthy of notice here. As he has all his lifetime until now been striving unblushingly to show himself worthy the confidence of every political party that has ever had anything to give, there can be no doubt that the Tiverton electors may rely upon his Lord- . . . ship's assurance for the time to come. They may find nothing to. complain of in the description " in ofEws p telli,ent and active community," though we con (dSrattt we should have thouoht it more a tro . ~,. ,-,---- . . . l-1 . .„ ( ?.. 4 ._ prtate if his Lordship had applied it to the " in :=.7-;', , . " dustrious fleas." We are not so sure that the words ~ _ ~_ TIIE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 30, 1837 Roebuck, the defeated of Bath, confessedly the most' talented of the party, with equal truth and honesty avows ; while the Spectator, confessedly the most ta lented of the Radical journals, makes no secret of its conviction that the country must for the future be go verned, if not by a Conservative Administration, at all events upon Conservative principles. These unwel come admissions the Globe and Morning Chronicle, as they may well do, take most seriously to heart. The awkward fact operates upon them in much the same way as an announcement to the partners of a London banking-house from their cashier that payment must be stopped, and that the sweets of Lombard-street are no longer equal to those of a China orange. The Whigs, however, are determined to die hard ; and there can be little doubt but that every effort of intrigue and misre presentation is going on to conceal the real truth from their young mistress, and to induce her to believe that Whiggery has still a strong hold upon the bulk of the intelligent classes in the country. But facts are stub born things ; and the quick and acute mind, imputed to the Queen by all who have had opportunities of witnessing it, forbid the supposition that any art what ever will be able to blind her eyes against the fact that the Ministers she found in office were not the choice of her predecessor, but were forced upon him by a Popish, unconstitutional faction ; that they are not the choice of the people ; and that they are, by the result of the late elections, rendered still more power less than they have hitherto been. It is rumoured, in quarters likely to be acquainted with the fact, that when Lord Melbourne objected to her Majesty ap pearing upon a charger at a review, the Queen de clined acceding to the counsel of her Minister, unless it were confirmed by the opinion of the Duke of Wellington ; that the Duke was consulted, and that his judgment coinciding with that of Lord Melbourne, the proposed review was given up. We mention the anecdote, merely as showing that the Queen is not quite so exclusively in the hands of her present advisers as they would have us imagine ; and that the Duke of Wellington's advice having been re sorted to on one subject, may be called for on another. That the Whigs are drawing a line of circumvallation round the Palace, so as to make its interior accessible to none but their own creatures, both male and female, is apparent enough. But the quick-sighted intelli gence to which we have already alluded, will defeat every effort of this kind to keep the truth from the Royal ear, were not the press a medium which no art or power can circumvent or silence. In the meantime, Ministers profess to exult in the case and comfort of their situation ; while their hangers-on scarcely disguise their joy at the event which has thus given to their masters a short respite. The country at large, howe ver, look to more serious objects. They see their in terests, both at home and abroad, suffering daily more and more in the incompetent hands to which they are unfortunately confided ; and we see even the Radicals becoming converts to the fact, that even in their eyes a Conservative Government has become preferable to the all- promising, but nothing-doing, servile dependants of O'Connell.—Morning Herald. Lord Palmerston is a droll--that's certain. But we may possibly be suspected of partiality, and not without reason, when people look considerately at the numerous notices we have devoted to his Lordship and his proceedings. In order, therefore, to avoid even the chance of such a charge, we subjoin the Noble Lord's latest effusion : TO THE FREE AND INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF THE BOROUGH OF TIVERTON. Gentletnen—Permit me again to request that you will accept my best thenks for the great honour you have done me in electing me to be one of your representatives in Par liament ; and be assured that I shall strive to show myself worthy of your confidence, by a zealous performance of my public duties, and by an anxious regar d f or th e l oca l inte rests of the intelligent and active community which I have the good fortune to represent. The result of thQ ganeral election has been to give to the Reformers a decided and sure majority in the House of Commons, fully sufficient to secure the ascendancy of thole principles of Government which you profess, and aceordin. , to which you desire to see the affairs of the country ad ministered. It will undoubtedly be necessary for the Reformers to remain united ; for by union among themselves, by perseve rance againAt difficulties, and by patience under temporary delays, the Reformers of the three United Kingdoms will ensure the steady progress •f legislative improvement. Ireland is the part of the empire where the greatest abuses prevail, and where the remedies are most urgently required for existing evils ; and the people of Ireland have unequivocally demonstrated, by their present choice of re presentatives, what their opinion is of the relative merits of the two opposite sy:tems of government. upon which opp o _ sing candidates have recently taken their stand. Gentlemen, I hope shortly to have the pleasure of paying, my respects to you upon an occasion of public amuse ment, at which political differences will be laid aside, and at which party struggles will be forgotten ; and, in the meantime, I have the honour to be, Your devoted and faithful servant, Stanhope -street, Aug. 15. PALMERSTON. Now, we put it to any person who may, can, or shall read this—whether he be member of a mechanics' in stitute, reader of a penny magazine, or small scholar at a Lancastcrian school—if we are not justified in at tributing drollery to Lord Palmerston ? Why, the very address of his letter is in itself a burlesque of the most caustic sort. The " independent" electors of Tiverton I These electors themselves would laugh at the thing. If they had been independent would they have allowed themselves to be made over, like the r , e s on an American estate, from the seller to the buyer? And then to quiz them for doing that to which " their poverty and not their will consented"—how very droll ! It could only have been thought of by the man who began 'by opposing ball-cartridges wilt blank paper, and finished by knocking his ally's fortress about his ears, as part and parcel of what he facetiously called an " amicable intervention." But there is more drollery than this. Lord Palmerston is not satisfied with joking his unfortunate constituents with his best thanks for what they could not help doing ; he actually " requests that they will accept his thanks." All this, however, is the drollery, merely, of the individual elderly gentleman, Henry John Temple, the Lord Viscount Palmerston, G.C.B.—her Majesty's Prin cipal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, afterwards takes what may be called his official turn at the fun. His Lordship actually endeavours to cram the poor people of Tiverton that " the result of the general elec tion has been to give to the Reformers a decided and sure majority in the House of Commons. Nothing was ever so droll as this. To expect his unfortunate constituents to believe what all the world knows to be false would be the height of fun, but for an inference still more funny—that, whatever be their gullibility, they are ' at least fairly represented in the House of Commons. Everybody has read that " there is in the lowest depth a lower still ;" but every body is not aware of the deeper intensity of Lord Palmerston's drollery be yond all that has yet been said or sung. The Noble Lord believes—or acts as if he believed—that the serfs of Spain and the pobres of Portugal are fully compe tent to judge of their political position, and of the measures necessary to be taken thereanent ; but the people of England, facetiously enough, are re presented as requiring assistance in similar circum stances. And, of all people on the face of the earth, to whom does .the gentle reader suppose the English are to apply for counsel ? Why, to the Irish ! for no reason that appears on the face of the proceedings but that " Ireland is the part of the empire where the greatest abuses prevail The Noble Lord concludes by showing what we had fancied had been sufficiently shown before—his versatility. He passes at once " from grave to gay," and, after a solemn holding forth on the state of the nation, expresses his hopes to the dupes of Tiverton that he will "shortly have the plea sure of paying his respects to them upon an occasion of public— amusement 1 Really this old " b oy w ill b e the death of us."—Morning Post. PRICES OF CANALS, DOCK STOCKS, Between the ceiling and roof of an ancient house, under repair at Holyhead, the workmen employed found a few days ago a skeleton, in a secret place made for its re ception, supposed to be the remains of a girl of from ten to fourteen years old. It was deposited on a bed of sand, and near it was a pitcher containing sand. The titre it has lain there, as well as the reason of its concealment, is a perfect mystery.

Kennedy got a place thereby, being bought off by his Lordship, after the pure "liberal" fashion of course—that is to say, at the expense of the public. So much for the clumsiness and the common place of the first paragraph of this important document. The second runs thus The result of the general election has been to give to the Reformers a decided and sure majority in the House of Commons, fully sufficient to secure the ascendancy of those principles of government which you profess, and according to which you desire to see the affairs of the country ad ministered." If Lord Palmerston had not happened to be an Irishman, as well as a placeman of 30 years' standing, he never could have mustered impudence enough for such a statement as this. By " Reformers" he means his own party, and in stating that the election has given to that party " a decided and sure majority in the House of Commons," he asserts that which every man who can read knows to be at variance with the fact. And that he himself is well aware of the deception he thus attempts to practise is manifest from the sentence with which he follows up this "rhetorical artifice," as Mr. Sheil would call it, though plain-spoken men would describe it by a better-known monosyllable : " It will undoubtedly be necessary for the Reformers to remain united ; for by union among themselves, by perse verance against difficulties, and by patience under tempe rary delays, the Reformers of the three United Kingdoms will insure the steady progress of legislative improvement." The meaning of this is, that if every man who de• sires to reform clearly ascertained abuses will support the destructive measures which Ministers must bring forward to pacify their Popish allies, then, but only then, the " decided and sure majority" is apparent. In other words, there is no such majority—for " Reform ers" will not unite with " Revolutionists." Lord Palmerston's use of the word " Reformers" has become so well understood that it can deceive no one now— though for a while it proved a mighty successful stalking-•horse as well for the Whigs as for the Radi cals. Let us proceed a little farther with this address, and the exposure of Cupid's wiles will b• still more complete. He. says— " Ireland is the part of the empire whore the greatest abuses prevail, and where the remedies are most urgently required for existing evils ; and the people of Ireland hare unequivocally demonstrated, by their present choice of re presentatives, what their opinion is of the relative merits •f the two opposite systems of government upon which op posing candidates have recently taken up their stand." This, doubtless, is the passage in which the Grunticle finds " the course which the Government intends to pursue." It supposes that the Government will renew its measures for giving a " heavy blow and a great discouragement to Protestantism in Ireland," and for establishing " normal schools of agitation" in that part of the empire. Suppose the Government does this ; still, upon the showing of Cupid himself, there will be no " decided and sure majority" for it, unless the Reformers unite with the D:'structives. Can Cupid himself calculate upon this We cannot sup pose even him to have grown sufficiently stupid to make so false a reckoning. We need hardly remind our readers, that on Monday our correspondent " M. W." clearly demonstrated that the Government would be in a minority en the Irish Church Bill, and tha' we have over anal over again proved, that if the Go. vernment could not carry its Irish measures in the las - - - Parliament, a fortiori it cannot carry them in this. But we have bestowed much more notice upon this address to the electors of Tiverton than it deserves, fo. it is the most foolish and the most impudent Mi n i ster i a l declaration that our attention has been called to since Lord John Russell compared himself and his col - lea:eiee to Luther and the other religious Reformers of Luther's time —ay', instituted a comparison between those who would 110 W give " a heavy blow and a great discouragement to Protestantism," and those who by establishing Protestantism then gave to Popery that heavy blow and. great discouragement, from which it has never yet recovered, and, we trust in God, never notwithstanding the attempt of the Protestant Whigs of Great Britain to extinguish Protestantism in IrLland, that they may continue in the possession of place and the receipt of pay. Their fate was sealed at the moment in which Lord Melbourne so frankly admitted in his place in the House of Lords, that the Irish Church Bill would give " a heavy blow and a ereat riiscouralement to Protestantism." The vast majority of the Protestants of these realms had been early taught to renounce " the Devil and all his works." They then saw the necessity of determining to renounce " the Devil and all his 4 1 /uks" too; nor will that determination, we think, he weal:ened by the recent revelation of the disgusting fact that the young and innocent Queen, who occupies the throne—that illustrious lady whom Lord Durham describes as " in education, in mind, and in heart, a true and thorough Englishwoman"—has been degraded to the perform ance of the un-English, the unwomanly, and the ir religious task of writing election squibs for Popish demagogues in Ireland ':--Times. Like men tilling and sowing the land in the vicinity of a volcano, while above and below and around tf.em appear indications of a catastrophe threatening des truction alike to their labours and their hopes, so do the Tories pursue their occupation, stir up the preju dices of fanaticism, and (Effuse their pernicious doc trines, in the hope of their bringing forth, in due sea son, thc fruits of corruption, while there is an electric influence permeating the heights and depths of society, which, at any moment, even in that of their anticip a t e d enjoyment, may cause an irruption utterly overwhelm. ing their cherished prospects, and threatening to leave scarcely a record of their existence but in the history of the past. But while destruction thus hangs immi nent over the enemies of the people, it is necessary to watch closely the position and prospects of the people themselves. It is advisable to inquire whether they are likely to sustain detriment from the power which is likely to annihilate their opponents, or if the political soil will become enriched and more fertile, and the frui tion of its products accelerated by that crisis of which the general aspect of affairs demonstrates the advent. Upon the exertion of the people themselves, upon the nature and intensity of the pressure without must de pend the solution of this problem. It is desirable to look calmly to the actual position of parties, and not attempt to buoy up public expectation with hopes which, unless proper means be adopted to secure their realization, would serve only to make the ultimate dis appointment more bitter. A mere majority in •the House of Commons, as has been twice proved, is not sufficient to give legislative effect to the wishes of the people. Since these failures of the representative power have occurred, however, other influences have been called into action. Instead of a sovereign worn down by age and infirmity, and surrounded by the leaven of a most corrupt and intriguing court, conti nually marring all his better desires for the welfare of his people, we have a young, enlightened, interesting, and high-minded Queen, pledged by the very first act of her Sovereignty to carry into operation those measures of political amelioration which, though her predecessor approved, he failed, from doubts excited by evil counsellors and the want of vigour and decision, to enrol on the statute-book. This is in itself an im mense accession to the popular cause, and more than equivalent to one hundred votes in the House of Com mons. It is, in fact, the entire gain of one of the tri partite powers of the State, and in the estimation of the most ardent admirer of constitutional balances must be counted as two to one in favour of the inte rests of Reform. Still, even with this advantage, and that of Ministers adhering, as we 'have repeatedly an nounced their intention of doing, in spirit and truth, to the principles which hitherto have constituted the basis of their Government—the cause of the people, and the progress of national regeneration, will not de rive the least advantage from these favourable symp toms, unless there be on the part of the public a corn• bined and determined manifestation to enforce respect to the wishes of the Sovereign, the Ministry, and a majority of the House of Commons. The mode and object of this manifestation should therefore be now the first o bj ec t o f genera l consideration.—Morn ing Advertiser. It is a source of grievous annoyance to the Whigs that while they are endeavouring to induce the world to believe that their government is as secure as ever, their allies, the Radicals, are openly proclaiming the contrary, and candidly avowing that the late general election has been a Conservative triumph.

JAMES PENDER and SON, bluchers, Dumbreck Strathblane, Stirlingshire, Sept. 1 and 15, at twelve, at the: ,Bla ck Bull Inn, Glasgow. The Rev. George Armstrong, formerly incumilen t of the parish of Bangor, in the diocese of Down and Ce ll i nor, has withdrawn f rom th e commun i on o f th e E s t a blis Church, and renounced his emoluments and prospects . I , °r conscience sake. He recently delivered an address, el-11 natory of his reasons f or w ithd raw i ng f rom t h e E s t a bliiihe Church, before a crowded congregation, in the Pres bY t : rian Meeting-house, Str an d- s t ree t, Dublin. This ad dress is an • admirable specimen of close reasoning, as well al masterly vindication of Christian liberty. The retiring - e l unobtrusive dispositi on o f it s au th or h as preve nted merits from being as widely known as they ought to be.: yet his virtues as a man, hi s pi e ty as a Ch r i st i an , And b c j e erudition as a profound a n d e l egan t sc h o l ar , h ave long loB o him an object of the greatest r es p ec t and attachwee ' d the circle of his friends and ac qua i n t ances . It i s ex jPne te that he will shortly become co -p as t or w ith th e Rev'. P r. Carpenter, minister of the Unitarian Chapel, Lewin Mead, Bristol. THE IRON TRADE.—The Welsh iron masters, t „ keep pace with those of Staffordshire, have advanced irf; another 1/. per ton. The alter a ti on , was announc ed ill this city yesterday.—Bristol Mercury.

This may be attribute d `°, the very recent period of the election, and to the g reat e r , ertions then made, on both sid es , i n canvass i ng . Ye ste s , day was the last day for sendi ng i n c l a i ms an d o bjecii°n o We understand the Tories have sent in objections to 8 1 . freemen—the Liberals to about 900, and claims for • 5 With regard to hou se h o ld ers an d f ree h o ld ers , t h e o bjecti en on the part of Liberals amount to between 400 and o, 'o the claims to about 500. Th e c l a i ms an d o bj ec tions of t' si Tories, we are informed, are considerably less. This be accounted for by the fact of the registration being , 11 , the present syst em , chieflf in the hands of th e T v wardens, who had previously taken care to work LIP#, their materials. In some parishes, and particularly i°,be Paul's, we are told, the churchwardens have adept 4 d , practice of omitting the names of many of the poorer o) 1 17, of occupiers, assuming a deficiency of rental, although 1 ' right of the parties to appear on the li s t, i n res p e ct of t he same property, has already been decided in Court. How TO KNOW A YOUNG HARE.—Hares aye re r only fit to be sent to table when they are young. In e n y ou. to judge of this, feel the first joint o f th e fore claws it find a small nut, the animal is still young. Should thig l l o , have disappeared, turn the claw sideways, and if the P oi . cracks, that is a sign of its being still tender.—(Ude.) if the ears feel tender and pliable, and the claws sm ooth 3 , 1 , sharp, the hare was young.—(Dolby.) It is not fit for r o , table immediately after being kill e d : by b e ing kept r days the flesh becomes tender but dark co l oure d, and rat " e unpleasant to the eye.—Donovan's Domestic Econ o 4:4 Human Food ; being Vol. 94 (f Dr. Lardnei's Ca by ' Cyclopcedia. fled On the evening of Saturday se'nnight a man ca l f t at a grocer's shop in this t own , an d s h owe d samp l e s of *l f he stated to be smugg!ed tea and t o b acco , w hi c h he said . je, could sell very cheap.
