The facility with which an inquisition of unlimited range, and arbitrary di rection, could be turned to the worst purposes of party was apparent from the beginning ; and 00 one therefore could wonder at the ingenious se lection of cases made by the Committee, in which every scrap of the ex•parte evidence adduced was calculated to inflict a wound on some distitogoished individual, opposed in literature, influence, or po litics, to that systtm which Mr. Brougham bed so warmly espoused. The blow was in the osten sible conception of the plan, indifferently suspend ed over the broad mass of delinquency ; hot it might have been anticipated, that its undivided strength would fail in that direction in which the imaginary violation of charitable trusts should be found united to the inexpiable offence of political hostility. Thus it was that Dr. Ireland and Lord Lonsdate were immolated to the spirit of patty, and sacrificed, so far as virtue and honour could be sacrificed, to insinuation nod calumny. • But the respectable notate of Dr. Ireland was not thus MR.

The Government Stamps might certainly be remitted, but they are very low, and cannot of themselves form much objection. Allowing, however, that this amount of 441. Is. G.l . might be taken off by competent authority, there remain no other expellees which are not.inseparable from the very nature of the thing. Nothing can he more clear than that ten thOusand eight hundred copies, of any document, as long as a Brief can not possibly be produced, without some expence for paper and phut ; this regularly amounts to 221. 10s. Another expellee, equally unavoidable, is that of carriage, porterage, postage, and ma terials for inclosing the packets; The amount of these is 151.35.---All these articles together (those first enumerated, as not absolutely necessary, anti these as completely so), form a 'sum of about 84'1. at the most, varying a little, according to the in cidental expencts upon the Petition, the Certin. cate, and such previous matters. Yielding to none in the disposition to value, or in the de termination to guard the Chai : tered Rights of the People to meet and to petition : opposed to no rational plan of public benefit and advantage, we are at the same time decidedly of opinion that neither reformation of abuses nor remedy of grievances can be obtained, nor the temporary distresses which press alike upon this Empire and the World at large, can be removed by means of tumultuous assemblages, brought together by artful and factious appeals to prejudice and passion, and excited to the extreme of discontent and irritation by the inflammatory harangues of Delegates lend Nlissionaties who., nuder the delusive pretexts of Radical Reform, inculcate disrespect to the Constituted Powers of the State, and disseminate doctrines that tend to overthrow the salutary distinctions of civilized life, to undermine and de stroy the sacred influences of Religion, and to subvert the Established Government of the Nation. to be made the sport of faction ; and the signal retribution which he has taken, is the trinturh of integrity over sophistry and slander.

THOMAS ALLAN, Solicitor, FrederiOi'mvlace, Old Jewry. ference to the case of L - ord Lonsdale, the conduct of Mr. Brougham exhibited, by his own account of it, a violation of every form of procedure, and every maxim of Parliamentary decorum, when, after the dissolution of Parliament, and the con sequent expiration of his Own delegated power, he dared still to continue the exercise of it, and under cover of a certain incredible forbearance to wards his rival, to usurp authority over the le cords of a Committee, not only suspended but ex tinguished. By this strange assumption of power, fur which he has taken so much credit to himself, he may have guarded the contest in West mot eland against the inconsiderable bias, which the publica tion of the evidence, in all the precision of its palpable unfairness, might have produced ; but every one must see, that by this course, he also lent to the struggle, the deep infection of whispered calumny, of indefinite suspicion, and boundless misrepresentation. But in what terms shall we speak of the COM- On suggested by Mr. Brougham to accomplish the momentous enqairies so happily begun under his own auspices; a connitission which was to undertake the vast survey of the whole charity, and the whole education of the kingdom ; which was to pry into every nook of every charitable foundation, however humble; and to penetrate, with reforming energy, the entire magnificence of the loftiest and most venerable—which was, in its vague and shadowy expansion, to embrace every clement in the formation of the natural intellect— every seminary of literary or moral instruction— every institution by %Well manners are twined, or even exterioraceorrodisliment imparted—a com mission vtlinse definite objects could not be accom plished in much less than half a century, and whose ulterior functions presented a dark vista of inlet mineable scrutiny and impossible completion; yet was it gravely proposed, that this fantastic creation of enduring and universal terror should be constructed, not after the ordinary fashion of other constitutional fabrics ; that it should nei ther owe its original existence, nor its pet iodical renovations, to the constitutional source of all sicarious authority, but to the great inventor him self, through the formality of a Parliamentary no mination ; and having thus unnaturally sprung into existence, should acknowledge responsibility neither to Crown nor Parliament, hitt cantinoe undisturbed and uncontrolled, iu the convenient receipt of its ample emoluments, and the eternal prosecution of its petty and vexatious labours.— Nothing so vast in despotic conception, or so terrible in protracted execution, has appeared in England for ages ; and when to the singular com position of this dread engine of power, we add the qualities required by its learned projector, as es sential to the character of its members ; the pry ing, suspicious, and sullen dispositions, which were to fit them for their ungracious office, an d the unhappy exemplification of these and other questionable elements in the person of Mr. Coe, the " ready-made Co►uu►issinner," whose exclu lion Mr. Brougham so pathetically laments—and above all, when we reflect on the startling pro ject, intimated by the learned Chairman, tur con fiscating to the use of the State tl►e chat itable funds diverted from their proper objet.L, instead of reviving and enforcing the primary and sacred destination ; we are forcibly struck with certain analogies which too plainly as*itnilate the mea sure in question to the beginnings of confusion ill a neighbouring country, and which stamp upon it a chatacter aliogether alien to the spirit of the constitution, and the genius of thitish legis iation.* * In the Pill brow:ht into Parliament during. the laqt Sestion, fur the letiewal of the coloolisf,ion t simir unimportant modifio-ition:‘ were ,t(loptetl— such ;n I the increase of the uunrher of Coilllloissioo4 . l - 9—htlt none Which could in the le:okt degree as , tiruPAte it to the project origihally formed by Mr. Brougham.

Their Lords' i .Ips niuke the voyage to St. Petertburgh ou hoard the tia ninuali steam pac',cc, No other deduction remains, except that whict is to r2monerate the Undertaker, whoever he is, for his time and trouble. It must be recollected, that the Undertaker is the person who takes upon . him to prepare and distribute properly the 10,800 copies of a Brief, to receive back those returned, to receive the sums collected, to pay the several expences, and finally to pay over the residue to the persons entitled; that is, to the Charity. Its doing this, he makes himself responsible for every Agent and Collector throughout the kingdom. The person who has performed this office, ever since the year 1799, is a Banker of great respec tability ; but it is always competent to the persons for whose benefit the Brief is issued to name their own Undertaker, and this power is always explained to them. They have chosen, however, for that period of years always to take advantage of the knowledge and experience of a Gentleman accustomed to the office, and of whose punctua lity there can be no doubt. Now, for the performance of all these offices, which must be done either personally, or by Aents paid by himself, the Undertaker's remu neration is only 4d. for each copy sent out ; a lower could not well be imak;it►ed. Still when the aggregate is looked at, in the Parliamentary Pa per above-mentioned, it may seem objectionable that in many instances the Undertaker or Collec tor's payment amounts to as much, and some times to mote, titan the residue left for the Charity. But what is the just conclusion from this ? Not' that the Collector is overpaid, but that the collec tion, from the causes stated in my first Letters, has been lamentably small. Suppose, for instance, that the Collector or Undertaker receives 1501 , this sum denotes the number of fourpences paid on Briefs returned. If, then, there remain only. another 1501. for the Charity, it will be evident that less than one shilling most have been collec.- ed upon an average iu each place. An average of Sd, would pay the two sum, of 150/. and a few pence more will cover the expence of 841. fur Patent, Fee. Now let us ask, Could such averages ever hap pen, if Briefs were not too generally neglected or disliked ? Certainly not. But if they ave raged t , o, three, or more shillings, the Fees and Collection would still cost no more, find the slit - idol would be dear for the Charity. But why should any Parishes, except the very poorest, collect so little as two or three shillings And why should not very large, populous, and owl lent places, send in wore than as many pounds? Let Briefs be fairly understood, and attended to, and this will be the infal;ilde result. The tbst expences and the last would then beconr? equally inconsiderable, in comparison with tl;t: whole coPectinn, and would no inure be thought of. The whole consequence given to these de ductions has arisen from the miserable amou nt of collections. 1 3 11ILADE1,PfiCS. „ yf
