SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. tinguish between the honest politics of 1688 and the degenerate Whiggery of 1837, begin at lennth to yield a slow and mortifying credence to the facts—first, that the Melbourne Whigs are a knot of despicable empi ri6e_e—and secondly, that in trusting them so long they themselves have been a set of egregious dupes. Ac cording to a well-known feature of human frailty,these men find it convenient to say as little. as possible ; in other words, being thoroughly disgusted and disap pointed at the manner in which the professions of their political leaders have been violated, they are restrained from open mutiny only by false pride, or by a discre ditable anxiety to escape the twofold charge of apostacy and fickleness. Now, to what extent this secret disa tisfaction prevails among the professed supporters of the Whigs, it were by no means easy to say; but if we may reason from the loud and irrepressible murmurs in which it occasionally vents itself in different parts of the empire, we should certainly infer that there is scarcely a man in ten (whether Conservative or Libe ral) who is not deeply convinced that the Government of Lord Melbourne is unworthy of public confidence. Take, for instance, that large portion of our country men (including undoubtedly an immense number of Reformers and Dissenters) who feel a lively interest in the abolition of negro bondage. The question, touch ing the emancipation and treatment of the slave popu lation in British colonies, has never in any sense been a party one ; and as the various Anti- Slavery Societies throughout the kingdom were originally constituted on the simple principles of humanity and justice, apart from political biasses, so in as far as those Societies have subsequently co-operated in watching the working of the apprenticeship system, the notion that they have been actuated by party motives has never once been dreamt of. Nay, if they have bad any political predilec tions at all in their associate capacity, such predilec tions, we are confident, were decidedly in favour of the Whigs. To the politicians who had been instrumental in:passing the Emancipation Act they were disposed to extend every reasonable confidence. Neither the in crease of Whig patronage by the appointment of sti pendiary Magistrates, nor the large discretionary powers entrusted to these functionaries, were looked at with the slightest jealousy. The belief that the Act was and is (if properly administered) an honest and efficient mea sure for the accomplishment of its great object, was universal ; and with this conviction, far from grudging the costly conditions of its enactment, all that the friends of the measure cared for was to see that its provisions were scrupulously carried into effect on behalf of the helpless beings whose grievances it professed to redress. Now, that the Slave Emancipa tion Bill, in the hands of a humane and incorrupt Government, incapable of sacrificing its object to the vile purposes of party patronage, is sufficiently pro tective to realize all the good which its most sanguine friends anticipated, we shall not stop to prove. The stipendiary magistrates, amenable to an upright and firm Minister like Lord Stanley, would not hav e been suffered to abuse their power with impunity. It turns out, however, that under Lord Melbourne's auspices, tbe Slave Einancipaticn Act has op to this moment been little else than a dead letter. The apprenticeship system, instead of putting an end to the evils of slavery, has in most instances aggravated its horrors. It will not do to say that the fault is attributable rather to the insufficient provisions of the bill than to any criminality in the parties in trusted with its administration. This is out outrageous nonsense. The entire body of evidence which has reached the Committees in this country who have been watching its practical working, tends to show that the Act has been regularly Lurked, if not by the agency of the Whigs, at least by their connivance. Like every measure they have but their hand to, it is now discovered to be, in practice, an enormous itnpos titre : and thus tile same'sort of complaint which many of their fellow Liberals have brought against their Re form Bill, is directed with far more force and propriety against their perversion of a statute on whose enact ment they have equally plumed themselves, as an evi dence of their public virtue. And by whom are these serious charges brought against the Whigs, on the sub ject of negro slavery ? By Tory meetings, or by party parsons, or by the Conservative press ? No such thing. The principal pa: ties to the indictment are Liberals, and Liberals too of the first water, such as your Buxtons and Burnetts, and other champions of the anti-slavery cause. Already, and very recently, has his Royal highness the Duke of Sussex presided at a great re monstrant meeting, wherein, after deprecating the utter waste of the 20,000,0001. sterling which were given to the apprentice -masters, it was expressly and em phatically declared, that petitions to the Legislature on behalf of the oppressed negrocs were as necessary as ever. It consists, moreover, with our own knowledge, that vast numbers of English ladies are at this mo -ment procuring signatures to a petition, which will shortly be presented to the Queen, imploring the sym pathies and succours of a female Sovereign on behalf of her injured sex in her Majesty's own colonial pos sessions : nor have many days elapsed since an im mense assemb:y of anti-slavery delegates from the mid land counties was he'd at Birmingham, at which a series of resolutions was passed, condemning in the strongest terms the disgraceful proceedings whereby the Emancipation Bill has been rendered a complete nullity.— Times. A letter from Hanover, forwarded by our Frankfort correspondent, represents the state of public feeling in that country as menacing an outbreak. The Univer sity of Gottingen especially was in a state of the greatest excitement, the aged professorsoot less liberal and animated than their scholars. That Tory par ex cellence, King Ernest, talkS in his official Gazette of the necessity of fortifying his sea-ports against a foreign invasion. This invasion, no doubt, is to come from England. Poor dotard I whilst he is in Germany we shall leave the Germans to deal with him, and shall . only pray that he, his friends, and his principles may never invade us. It is after all a sagacious instinct in him which makes him look on England as the country of his most, inveterate foe. He must be fully aware how very small a portion of En, glishmen sympathise with those Tory journals, who, with ample consistency, uphold the right divine of King Ernest to make and overthrow constitu tions. The question, as regardi the character which 4 ---eught to be given to the conduct of the King of Ha nover, lies in a nutshell. Was the Constitution of 1833 the law of the land ? If it were the law, the patents of Ernest are necessarily illegal. We observe that the Standard, founding upon the statements in these patents; declares that the Constitution of 1819, being in active operation in 1833, could only be le gally set aside by the mutual consent of the King and the - Estates ; and that as the consent of the Estates was not given, the Constitution of 1833 was illegal, and the Constitution of 1819, never having been legally an nulled, must now be considered in activity. The Con stitution of 1833 was not an affair struck off at a heat. In the early part of 1831 the Hanoverian Parliament took up the subject of Constitutional Reform, and the clauses of a new fundamental law were discussed in the session of that year. - When Parliament was pro- rooued on the 24th June, 1831, a Committee of the e, • Lower liOuse was continued for the purpose of pro ceeding with the consideration of this important mat ter, and in the spring of 1232, the Committee termi nated their labours. On the 13th of March, 1833 - , the Constitution passed the two Houses, and on the 26th of the following September received the Royal Assent ; since which time it has been in constant operation. We observe that a sort of pettifogging de fence has been set up for King Ernest in a pamphlet just published, under the title of " The Hanoverian Constitution Considered ;" that certain alterations were made by the King in the Constitution as agreed to by the Estates on the 13th of March, 1833, to which the assent of the Estates was not demanded ; and that the fundamental law of September 26, 1833, ratifies these alterations, as well as what had re ceived the consent of the Parliament in March, 1833. Assuming (for we are not cognizant of the cir cumstance) that amendments were made by the King on the fundamental law as it passed the Parliament of Hanover on the 13th of March, 1838, the reason why the assent of the Estates was not fern-tally given to them probably was, that, as the Parliament was not then sitting, to have re-assembled Parliament inertly to obtain their sanction to the alter tions made, weul.l have been attended with inconvenience. That the a :t e rations were acceptable to the Estates that adopted the Constitution in 1838 - is evident from the fact of the universal acquiescence in the fundamental law of the 26th of September, 1833. It is absurd to apply rigidly . to our country the technical rules of the Legis lature of another. " What should we say," asks the Advocate of King Ernest, "if the Lord Chancellor should erase even one word in a Bill, and then declare that, with this one era sure, le Roi le vent :9' And what if such a transaction should occur a few days, nay a sinele hour, after the dis,olution of Parliarricnt, in which the Bill had rt:ceived the sanction -of the two Houses ?" The ea:Ls are not analogous. The King of Hanover was an absentee, and the communication between Hanover and London of itself required consideeable time ; and he could, besides, only devote a small portion of his leisure from the important concerns of Great Britan to the aiTairs of Hanover ; and in an affair of such moment as the assent to a fundamental law he could not without preparation sa tisfy himself as to the nature of the measure. In the mean time the Hanoverian Parliament, hating termi- - nated their labours, could not remain assembled in Hanover for the mere purpose of voting their formal assent to any changes which the King might think fit to make. The assent of the estates must, however, be inferred from the universal acquiescence in the new fundamental law. But then we arc told in the pamphlet that the Crown lands of Hanover be- longed only to William as a tenant for life ; and vre are told also that " the individual King of Great Bri tain on his accession surrenders his domains to Par liament for a stipulated equivalent, but he has no power to bind his successors ; and the moment he dies the successor re-enters upon the property of those domains as absolutely as any of his prede cessors." The writer here confounds the practice with the principle. The King and both Houses of Par liament do, in fact, at the commencement of every reign, enter into a new arrangement respecting the hereditary revenues ; but the King and the two Houses may at once conclude a permanent arrange ment binding on future Sovereigns. Parliament is omnipotent. And in reality portions of the Crown lands have been in all times constantly conveyed to individuals by Acts of Parliament. At this time thousands of individuals in the county of Middlesex hold properties lately obtained under a Par liamentary tenure, which in a new reign cannot be challenged. This affair of the Crown lands proves that King Ernest, like too many other Tories, is in fluenced - by the desire of pelf as well as a hatred of constitutional government. He is believed to be much in debt, and hence his wish to shake the disposition which has been made of the Crown lands. From every appearance he will find his undertaking attended with more difficulties than he anticipated. Throughout all constitutional Germany the Chambers are in mo tion. The Post Ampt Gazette of Frankfort last re ceived contains a report of the proceedings of the Se cond Chamber of the state of Saxony on the Bth inst. on the affair of the Hanoverian Constitution. On the attention of the Chamber having been called to the fact of the Upper Chamber not having ac ceded to the resolutions which they had passed on this subject on a former occasion, the President ad mitted the truth of this, but added that the circum stances of the case had now become so important, that the Second Chamber ought to take the matter up without delay. The Minister for Foreign Affairs then said—" The Government still continues to think that this question does not fall within the limits of the de liberations of this Chamber, and the reasons alleged by it on a former occasion for the rejection of this mo tion exist the same at the present day. Nevertheless, the events that have since occurred are of such a na ture, that all assemblies of States and all Governments are bound to make serious reflections on the subject. The Ministry, therefore, refers you to the declarations which it has already made. Be assured, gentlemen, that Government will act, according to its custom, in a constitutional spirit, and will contribute, as far as depends upon ituelf, to the maintenance of legal order in Germany." It was moved that a special Committee should be appointed to take the subject into considera tion, and the motion was carried by a majority of 65 to 3.—Morning Chronicle. If any man should attempt to estimate the actual unpopularity of the Whigs merely by the manner in which they are spoken of in quarters strictly C - u nser vative, there is reason to believe that his calculation would be a very defective one. The truth is, there exists an immense mass of publi c op i n i on, which, though commonly laid claim io in favour of Ministers, cannot with the slightest justice be so appropriated. We do not allude at present to the multitudes of starv ing labourers, who hate them for the sake of their odious Poor-law; nor to the thousands of enfranchised Liberals, who detest them for their hostility to House hold Suffrage ; nor even to the I:i• ; .,body of Par liamentary democrats, who, while Inuatiy sitting at their back in the House of Commons, make no scruple to reprobate them as false and treacherous to the popular cause. With these various sections of the (arnest school, the more respectable discontents to whom we refer have iittle or no co:rununity of feeling. For the most pat the latter are sedate and sincere Reformers, who, though hitherto unwilling to dis- The circumstance of the celebrated Braintree case having been brought before a legal tribunal, has again attracted public attention, in no ordinary degree, to the general question of Church-rates. Dr. Lushington, knowing that whatever might be his decision, the losing party would appeal to a higher tribunal, did not express himself in very marked terms on either side of the case. What the decision of the Court to which the appeal is made may be, is more than we can tell. Nor does it matter much what may be that decision. The doom of Church-rates is sealed without reference to the issue of the proceedings in the Braintree case. If their exaction be pronounced, by the tribunal before which the point is about to be submitted, to be legal, then Parliament must forthwith pass an Act abolish ing these iniquitous imposts. If their exaction be pro nounced to be illegal under such circumstances as those in which their Braintree opponents resisted them, the necessary consequences will be, that all other towns of any consequence will soon place them selves in opposition effectually to resist their payment. In either case, we repeat, the doom of Church-rates is sealed. Public opinion has for some time been irre eoncileably hostile to them, and now that opinion is beginning to be unequivocally expressed on the subject. And never has public opinion been freely and resolutely expressed against any principle of oppression or in justice, without being speedily crowned with triumph. The nation owes a debt of infinite gratitude to the Dissenters on this subject. They were the first to as sert the great principle that no man has a right to be taxed for the support of the religion of another ; and that so long as those who dissent from the Church of England are so, so long is religious liberty outraged, and the rights of conscience trampled on. Ere many months have elapsed, we are confident we shall have to congratulate the Dissenters of England on the complete triumph of their exertions to rid themselves and the public at large of the grievous impost of Cliurch-rates.—[ Since writing the above, we learn that the Attorney-General has taken the usual steps to stay proceedings in the Court of Queen's Bench.]—. Morning Advertiser. ___ • Last night a gentleman, named Jordan, who resides in Parker's-place, Kent-road, was robbed of a valuable gold watch and appendages, in the crowd at the pit door of Co vent-garden Theatre. Mr. Jordan felt the watch safe in his pocket only a few minutes before he missed it. He saspects the thief to be a woman who stood near him, and complained loudly of the pushing of the crowd. A strong Lair-guard to the watch was cut through. Yesterday morning, between ten and eleven o'clock, as a servant girl, named - Ann Pearce, was cleaning the windows o 3 the first floor of the house of James Boughton, Esq., of Gower -street, Bedford-square, she overbalanced herself; and fell upon the iron rails beneath, on one of which she hung until lifted off by some persons passing at the mo m. ent, who conveye d h er to t h e h osp i ta l i n a f a i nt i ng sta t e from loss of blood, where she at present remains in a ver) precarious condition.

Hid. per Cwt., exclusive of the Duties of Customs paid or payable on the Impdrta film thereof into Great Britain. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price current of last Evening.) SUGAR.-British Plantation still improves in value, and in the early part of the week there was a very steady business done in both grocery and refining descriptions, establishing an advance on previous prices of 6d. to Is., at which improve ment 125 hhds. Barbadoes at public sale sold with much com petition, fine yellow at 68s. 6d. to 705., good 675. to 685., mid. 655. to 665. 6d., but the buyers have been compelled to pay rather higher prices, making the advance since this day week full is. on all descriptions, at which improvement 24 hhds. Trinidad at auction sold at 645. fur low mid. yellow ; the deficiency in the stock since our last having been much increased, being 16,300 hhds., trs , and brls. less than last season at this period, has given the holders greater confidence ; sales of dry brown Berbice Sugar made at 625. to 635. ; grey and brown St. Vincent's for the pan at 645. 6d. to 655. ; Ja maica with more colour and strength 665. to 675., fine 695. to 705., and very fine 71s. ; the two latter descriptions are in proportion now by far the cheapest, and are scarce. This afternoon the show continued very scanty, not exceeding 500 hhds. and tierces. The raw material continuing on the advance, by which several of the refiners are prevented from working, owing to the unremunerating prices they obtain for the manufactured article, cause the supply of Refined goods at Market to be still very short, particularly those rather under 81s., and the grocers being ready buyers of all descriptions, a further ad vance of Is. to 2s. has been established; Lumps passing the standard selling freely at 81s., rather under at 795. to 80s., brown Lumps at 765. for large, and 775. for small, single and powder Loaves at 78s. to 793. This afternoon small sales of Crushed at 385., at which there are further buyers, but no sellers under a9a. to 40s. MAURITIUS.— There has been much activity in the Market; the grocers have been the principal buyers, and an advance on previous prices of Is. to 2s. has been established; the greater rise has been on the qualities selling under 665. 6d. ; there has been a brisk demand by private contract for all de scriptions, besides 5,812 bags at public sale, imported in February last, principally a fine grocery parcel, which was taken with avidity, mid. yellow at 645. 6d. ; good mid. 655. 6d. to 665. ; fine yellow, 675. to 6Ss. ; the sale averaged 665. 6d. for good mid. yellow ; there are still no arrivals, and the stock is on the decrease ; by the last returns it was 13,206 more than last year, whereas on the previous week it was 15,300 bags greater ; the deliveries are large, and for last week exceeded those of the corresponding period of 1836 by 2,098 bags ; prices of yellow descriptions are now equal to those of West India, but brown qualities are a shade below.

On Sunday evening last the lovers of astronomy, and thosde connected with physiological pursuits, were highlY and gratified by the reappearance of that portion 0 cad celestial phenomena which are comprised under the head falling stars, and which during the last few years havethe caused such animated discussions with regard torce possibility or not of their periodical return. 19 -, deligfht: evidence concerning these appearances has been We'? of i that Sciences; transmitted to the Freneli Academy the last communication bears the inteliig enee, L. Rcb ertc n an entirely new quarter, the Mauritius , M . rs observed the same meteoric shower of falling sta 0 0, the night between the 12th and 13th of November, 1837 being at the same period and in all respe cts similar that seen on the same night in all parts o f Europe, to which is described as a further confirmation o f the receoey: broached idea of the periodical fall, or shower of stars, 0 or about the 12th or 13th of November. Pursuant _to this information astronomers have anxiously awaited h return of these days, or rather nights, and on Sunda!, evening their labours were rewarded, and the previous snc up; position in a great measure corroborated, by th e a pp eara of the beautiful phenomena which we are now about to de scribe. About 6 o'clock on the evening of SUnd3Y, 3 luminous red arch was observed to extend over th e western portion of the heavens, and after Pas sing through various gradations, in point of colour a nd siie; disappeared. It soon after re-appeared , and s peelM e immediately recognized as a magnificent of the aurora borealis, which has lately been o f than ordinarily frequent in the southern regions: prese nee' The colour, ,that of a bright crimson, a striking but not unpleasing contrast to the softer light of the moon, which was at that time s hining in its fullest refulgence. Nothing could be more gorgeous than tb e scene which the heavens then presented ; a clear blue sky; without a cloud, save those which bore the appearance or being spun from the finest g o s samer , me t the view of Oa spectator on the east ; and in th e o pp os ite quarter of the firci moment streaks of the brightest crimson threw uncertain an flickeringrays over the landscape, impressing the beholder a t the same moment with feelings of the utmost awe a nd adm i. ration. About eight o'clock, the attention of those w ho wer e observing the aurora was diverted to the singular and en usual phenomenon of a bright meteor, apparently p roceed ; ing from the north, which, after making a rapid & n , see in the manner of a rocket, sudd en ly burst, and, seatten ne its luminous particles into the most beautiful form s, Ya• nished into the atmosphere, from which it seemed t o arise. This was succeeded by others all s imil a r to the first in both the shape and manner of its ultim a te disappearance — e a clr cumstanFe which gave origin to v e ry amusine a nd ridi cw lous conjectures as to their probable cause. ' The whole display terminated at ten o'clock, when dark clouds, w hich' continued up to a late hour, over s pr ea d the earth, pre vent- ing any further observation. Astronomers are much ati variance as to the manner in which these meteorologicai phenomena are produced ; and although the princiele spontaneous combustion is n o w es t a bli s hed beyond the power of contradiction, the recu rrence o f these cele stial prodigies is well worthy the att en ti on o f those who w ake such inquiries their study. On Wednesday night, on occasion of her MejestY visit to Drury-lane Theatre, the light-fingered ge nt c r i reaped a plentiful harvest. F rom h a lf- pas t five c el,o until the closing of the theatre persons who had bee robbed were incessantly calling at the station.house in 13°6 : street, to give information of their losses. One gondola.; who was standing in Little Russell -street, was almost i n state of distraction on discovering that he had been 'vibe, of his pocket-book, which he stated not only contained is considerable sum of money in B an k no t es , b u t some I ' l A of exchange, and securities of an i mpor t an t nature. t woman named James, living in V ere - s t ree t, Clare-mark et was hustled by some fellows, who succeeded in extractil from her pocket a small bag, containing a sovereign 8n eight shillings, and a silver thi m bl e . S evera l o ther article! were in her pocket, but the experienced thieves select° those mentioned from the rest. The police were very ac tive ' and succeeded in capturing several pickpockets. A few days ago eight persons at Basenth, who ha d been poisoned with arsenic, were all saved by the emP l° Yi meat of the oxide-hydrate of iron, though the quantity arsenic which they h a d t a k en w ith t h e i r f oo d was v ery O w ' siderable.
