SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The impudent attempt to delude the country with , the hope of substantial reforms from " His Highness the Dictator," has every where been treated with the contempt it merits. From every part of the United Kingdom we have reports of the movements e . ". t h t people, who evince a spirit and good sense w hkh dan not be too highly eulogized. In Leeds, Manchester, Liverpool, and other greets tow ns , the strongest sensation has been Pr - educed by the dismissal, and requisitions for meetings have been numerously and respectably signed. In Scotland, the people are united as one man. On Friday, the in habitants of Edinburgh were to meet, as in 1832, in the King's Park. Notwithstanding the Dic tator's assiduity at the Horse Guards, he will find that the people of this country are not to be in timidated, any more than they are to be cajoled. The Times of Saturday rails at Lord Durham, because his Lordship is infected with the prevailing distrust of its favourite for the time, the great Dictator. " We are sorry to say," observes our contemporary, " that the latter part of his speech exhibits striking proofs that passion had blinded his judgment. Else why does he denounce the possible change from bad to good as dis gusting and disgraceful ? Does he suppose the na tion is so enslaved by the spirit of faction, as to refuse to accept a beneficial measure from a Minister, because he is not a Whig ? Such stuff is unworthy of Lord Durham's clear sense—it is the mere raving of a bi gottecl partisan. What I are we to be told that the people of England can not understand, and demand, and secure what they feel to be their just claims, unless a Whig Lord holds the helm of government. 'We re pudiate, in the name cf the people, such miserable patty jargon. The people may have, they must have, personal partialities for the public good—they look to the acts of their Governors, and not to their mere names. A Grey or a Wellington, if his acts are just and wise, is in their eyes an enlightened and patriotic Minister, whellier his sobriquet be Whig or Tory." It is quite natural that the want of principle—the utter disregard- of consistency, should be a recom mendation in the eyes of our contemporary, who hag no stazidard but expediency, and who will one day term a statesman as blind as a bat, and the next hold him up as a miracle of wisdom. There are, it appears, .however, many in this country, besides Lord Durham; who have a prejudice in fa vour of honour and honesty, and who imagine also that a great nation like this is not driven to the neces sity of receiving the reforms to which it is entitled from the hands of a man who cannot give them with out violating every principle he has ever professed. However, • the object of the Times is to gull the people—to throw them off their guard—that " his Highness" the Dictator, may have thesis at an advan tage. Lord Durham knew very well that the Duke avould grant no large measure of Reform ; and he knew, also, that the bare supposition of the possibi lity of any good emanating from a Minister who took office to prevent the effecting of reforms, could not be entertained without producing much mischief. The following excellent observations on the perfidious cry of " Measures not men," in the second volume of 1 1, 1 r. Bulwer's " France," p. 44, have been transmit ted to us by a correspondent, to whom we return our best thanks. They are exceedingly seasonable : " Change in the form of a Government ceases very fre quently to be demanded when we feel sure that the spirit ani mating a Government is good. The nomination of the po pular man lulls suspicion, as the nomination of the unpopular one awrkens it. A change of men from unpopular to popu lar cries, is, in fact, the only, the ordinary, and the reason able resource, which a representative Government affords for its duration ; and the cant, and nearly always hollow and per fidious cry of " Measures, not men," merely shows, where it is sincere, a double ignorance of human nature and affairs. Many acts of Government it is almost impossible for any person out of the Government to know ; (tr. Administration with popular appearances may be taking a subterraneous road to arbitrary power: if the general principles which a man has hitherto pro fessed, are hostile to y(rter notions of right, and on his be comiag a Minister, he' seems to act in a manner favourable to your opinions, yov are bound to mistrust him, for it is more likely that he is frslsy to you than that he is false to himself. The Statesman who, after a long political course, tells you suddenly that 1 - .. e means to sail on a new tack, is to be looked upon as a Coster' in politics—a swindler, the more dangerous fcr the sletiring candour of his address. This is the sober way of viev , ing things, and this is the way which the public, with its broad and plain common sense, usually views them. Mark the example I M. Polignac comes into office—the first act of tile Minister dreaded for his Jesuitism, is the abolition of the unpopular office of the Minister of Religion'—the King speaks of prosperous finances—the Minister announces admi nistrative amendments and economical concessions. " But afar from these favours and promises of ameliorations, severe and stern, with folded arms and knit brow, the great body of the nation stood aloof, full in front of the throne and its proud yrerogatives ; stood—l say—the people—firm against compromise; embodying all their feelings in one opinion ; ex pressing them all in one remonstrance; replying to every ar gument of the Government by one sentence, 'Remove the Mi nister,' "—).Vlorning Chronicle. The new Treasury Cominission was issued this morning. The names are as follow :—The Duke of Wellington, Lords Rosslyn, Ellenborough, Mary borough,' Sir John Beckett, Mr. Planta. Lord Rosslyn holds a sinecure of 1,8521. per annum, as Director of Chancery in Scotland, in addition to the emoluments of his regiment, amounting to 1,4151. His son, Lord Loughborough, another learned and gallant officer, is a sinecurist to the tune of 1;1351., as Clerk of the Chancery in Scotland, with his pay, as Lieutenant- Colonel, of 415/. Lord Ellenborough holds the sine cure of Clerk ,of the King's Bench, the emoluments of which he returned in 1830, at the trifling sum of 9,6251. We congratulate the country upon the selec tion of the two largest sinecurists of England and Scotland, to preside at the Treasury Board and check all abuses. The late Treasury, by one of their last acts, adopted, without exception, the recommenda tions of the valuable report of the Sinecure Commit tee, drawn up, as is supposed, by Mr. Grote. Will this be acted upon now ? We shall watch. In the mean time these appointments are of happy augury. We shall be particularly curious to learn how Lord Ellenborough will deal with the observations of the Committee respecting a sum of 5,0001. which the late once from an enterprise which it is impossible that tbs-- should bring to a successful issue, and ff . ._ rthev . ng tie country from the pressure °t . naraesing tlisttlig, or from the shock of 5u.i.1..51 en'and irtecm - etabie disappoint ment. To 's, - awe 'Confesl that the continuanc e o f w h a t 'n".;; ne ralleti the " provisional" Government, after understanding . not -only conveyed to it through nearly all sections and departments of the press, but circulated throughout society, that Reform, under every circumstance, must be progressive, or that the Ministry which impedes it will itself be brought to an expeditious end, is an indirect, if not conclusive evidence, that the design of those who aspire to be de clared its, members, is to fulfil the obligation which it thus seems tacitly to undertake, and the condition on which alone it is now practicable for any Government to conduct the domestic policy of England. But much abuse has been - levelled at those who deem it possible, and at ourselves among them, for the Duke of Wellington or Sir Robert Peel to proceed with measures of reform. Catholic emancipation is then adduced as an example. Of what ?—of the Duke's incapacity to carry a popular and most im portant measure through Parliament ?—no, but of the discredit which he himself incurred by adopting a measure which he had always previously opposed! This is rather perverse. It is shifting the ground of objection from one in which the country had a deep and powerful interest to another which was chiefly (we by no means say exclusively) the concern of the Duke himself. Now, in our judgment, the matter which re flected the most serious blame upon the Duke of Wel lington was not his finally proposing a bill of emanci pation, but his having so long condemned the princi ple and resisted the introduction of that great measure. He yielded, it is true, to a political necessity—a ne cessity created by the prevalence and the force of public opinion—a legitimate motive, if ever there existed such whereon to justify a political concession. Was the measure the worse for such an origin ? or was the evi dence in its favour weakened for doubting minds by the fact of its being extorted by mere consti tut;onal power from a resolute and reluctant Minister? No, let us ask, is public opinion throughout the empire less strong or less unanimous with regard to ] the necessity of a perseverencc in reform measures— reform of church, and reform of corporate abuses— than it was in favour of removing the Catholic dis- I abilities ? And is it so very unreasonable to ima gine that the Duke of 'Wellington will be henceforth as open to conviction, or, if you will, as sensible to the pressure of general opinion, as he wasin the for roer instance, more particularly when that opinion, speaking through a flee Parliament, will suffice, by a single vote, to expel him and his collea g ues from the Government ? As for th e ou t cr y ma d e by some rant ing boobies against us, for what they are instructed to term our " tergiversation”—that is to say, for our ex pressing a hope, that since the last Ministry expe rienced invincible obstacles, both in the way of its car rying reform measures, and even of its remaining in office—a hope that the Ministry which succeeds them may prove, at least in the former respect, more fortunate, we leave them to find their just value with the country. They are almost avowed to be under the ] control and dictation of individuals who suffered, by ] the fall of the late Ministry, the joint loss of office and of income. Their disinterestedness, therefore, is as conspicuous as their modesty, in endeavouring to force back their own employers into power, before the Duke of Wellington and his friends have fair play to show what are to be the principles of their Administration. We estimate not the sordid malice of such exasperated understrappers at a single straw. Their judgment upon the comparative merits of the Government which has paid, and of that which has discarded them, is not worth the paper which it blackens. When it can be brought against this journal, or any of those who ma nage it, that they have ever been one farthing the better or worse, in point of worldly relations, for their support of any Ministry, or for their opposition to it, then, and not till then, let us be accused of mercencry views in our declared sentiments towards public men or measures. We defy our enemies to prove that any person connected with this journal has ever received any personal advantage beyond that of an honourable reputation for any thing which he has written or done for any man or any party.—Times. A considerable portion of our columns will he found , to be taken up with a report of the proceedings in Li , verpool on Friday last, upon the occasion of the re ception of a deputation from the Protestants of Ireland to the South Lancashire Conservative Association. ] When it is mentioned that upwards of 4,000 persons were present on this interesting occasion, including the ] rank, station, wealth, and influence, not only of that city, but also of the county, and when it is stated that ] Lord Kenyon was in the chair, and that in addition to the local talent, the Meeting was addressed with sur passing eloquence by the Rev. Mr. Boyton (although labouring under indisposition), and the Rev. Mr. 7 O'Sullivan, we shall have already urged sufficient rea . sons to entitle the report to the fullest . consideration and the earnest attention of our readers.—Mornins - Post. The electoral statistics, which would be curious in any circumstances, being now of immediate interest and importance, we hasten to throw together some informa tion. as to the extent of the suffrage under the Reform Act. Before we go into the statement it is necessary to observe that the number of electors must be less than the number in the returns, as many are counted twice over, or oftener, in respect of different qualifications— but nevertheless the calculations will give an outline of the form and body of the enfranchised sections of the country sufficiently to be depended on. In England 40 counties return 144 members, and previous to the election of 1832 had 344,564 registered electors. The cities and boroughs are 185 ; they return 327 members, and their registered electors up to the same date were 274,649. The total for England was thus 619,213 electors, and 471 representatives of counties and boroughs. In Wales, 12 counties return 15 members,. and their registered electors in 1832 were 25,815. Ile 14 districts of boroughs return 14 members ; and their registered electors were 11,309. In Scqtland, 30 coun ties have 30 Members, and their ,registered electors in 1832 were 33,114. Seventy-six cities and boroughs return 23 Members, e.iid their registered electors of the above date were 81,332. Total for Scotland, 53 RepresentativeB, and 64,447 electors. In Ireland 32 counties have 64 Members, and their registered elec tors in 1832 were 60,607. The cities and boroughs are 34 ; they return 41 Members, and their registered electors are 31,545. Total for Ireland 105 Members, and 92,152 electors, according to the registration of 1832. The first remark that occurs is upon the pro portion of the town to the county suffrage. I n round numbers, the gross population of clues and boroughs of England and Scotland is Laif the popula tion of counties ; and the represqlitation of cities and boroughs is about double the representation of coun ties. Wales gives an advantage to the counties ; and the returns for Great Britain stand thus :—County popu lation 10,446,241 ; Borough population 5,816,060. Members for counties, 189 ; members for boroughs, 364. So that the county population is two to one against the town, and the town representation two to one against the county. In Ireland the case . is diffe rent. The county representation exceeds the borough representation, but the county population is rated at 7,000,000, and the borough at little more than 700,000. In Ireland the registered electors for counties in 1832 about doubled those for towns. Taking Great Britain and Ireland together, the population of cities and boroughs is •about one-third of the population of counties ; the electors for counties are to the electors of towns about as four is veryandcal culation proportionsBl2.936.must false ed I nferences may , and doubtless will, be drawn. thatt will be contended the land e d t interest is inadequately represent e d, and that the towns have an un f a i r s h are o f representation. In such argum en t s t h e mater i a l f act w ill be over looked—that population has not been made the basis of representation ; and that if population be once let in as the governing rule, it will be hard to keep out universal suffrage as a consequence. Property is the basis of the Reform Act, and according to the Lord EllenborOugh transferred from the general fund to his own private account, and of which the present Lord has for years enjoyed the interest. Lord Mary borough is the Duke's brother—was Secretary for Ire land in the worst period of Orange misrule, and held office under the old Tory governments. Sir J. Beckett is a family connection and follower of the Lowthers. This fact alone is a sufficient guarantee to the country for his love of reform, and hatred of rotten borough practices. Mr. Planta was, under the Tory Govern ment, patronage Secretary, or as Mr. Baring in the House expressed it, " did the dirty work," of the Treasury ; he holds a pension of 1,500/. ; there is another pension of 2001. to Barbara Planta in the Civil List.—Morning Chronicle. Nothing more can be done, and therefore nothing, known, as to the state of the Ministry, or the pros pects of the county, before Sir Robert Peel's arrival. Nor until then would it be safe to speculate on the chance of the Right Hon. Baronet accepting or re fusing the arduous task proposed to him —viz., that of satisfying the British nation, that the course of reform which its interest and opinions demand, and which has been prepared by the reforms already in full operation, will be followed out to their natural result's by the class of statesmen who are or will be the successors of Lord Melbourne's cabinet. This satisfaction can be no otherwise afforded than by the acts of the forthcoming Ministry, or by pledges de claring antecedently to what extent they are willing to bind themselves in yet unaccomplished reforms ecclesiastical and civil. It is unquestionably no small inconvenience, and no trifling aggravation of the public suspense and uneasiness, that such securities, in the nature of pledges, cannot be offered durinF, the absence of the person who is expected to place himself at the head of the King's new Councils. We shall, therefore, just repeat, what it is no fault of ours if we have not already more than once impressed upon the attention both of individuals and parties, viz., that a deliberate and reasonable, but resolute and unvaried system of reform is the paramount and sole condition on which Sir Robert Peel (or the Duke of Welling ton) can hope to obtain the shadow of support from public opinion, or from the public press ; and that if the Statesmen who are on the eve of forming the King's Government should have any doubt as to their own determination upon that point, wisdom and virtue would alike point out to them the duty of retiring at THE SUN , T VNDOILIN VILOIN "t atiVS IN ' OVEMBER , 24 1834. adopted testfeof property arE `those numerical relations lkaVe Noticed. There is, however, really no dis proportion in the case, or if there be ally, the dispro portion is not where at first glance it may seem. All that is to be said is, that property does hot put forth its powers according to the rule of numbers. Were the test of property still further improved in the Re form Bill, as we trust it will, by the removal of the fiscal conditions, the electoral privileges of the borough po pulation would be yet further extended. When the borough representation and the county-representation are talked of as measuring the comparative influence of the landed and commercial interests in Parlia ment, a gross fallacy is involved, for the commercial interest, which has its political power in bo roughs, has often a direct connexion with the agri cultural interest, the like of which the agricultural in terest having its political power in the county suffrage has not with the commercial interest. Thus the capitalist, or prosperous tradesman, or professional man in a town, has his landed property, and by it an interest in common with the country gentleman ; but the country gentleman, who lives on the rents of his farms, has no direct interest in common with the mer , antile, and he too often believes in an opposition of interests. To put the proposition in large terms, towns are more affected with the agricultural interests than, the agricultural districts are affected with the town in terests ; and this is not a speculative question-e--we have something more solid than theory. In the corn laws we see the rural prejudices put forth against the com mercial interests, and the powerful hold of the agri cultural interest in the borough representation. — Times. The Standard seems to think that an announcement in an Evening Paper (The Sun) and the delivery of the Great Seal to Lord Lyndhurst, have misled the Morning Herald into the erroneous opinion that some, at least, of the new appointments have been determined upon. It then goes on to say, " Now, no opinion can be more erroneous than this. Lord Lyndhurst holds the great seal just as the Duke of Wellingtoo holds the seal of the Home Office from the same necessity— that these instruments of authority must be held by some one, until a Cabinet is formed, and during pre cisely the same tenure—namely, the existence of that necessity." In the above observations the Standard sets about correcting its own mistake, not our's. We have never spoken of any new appointments to succeed the Whig Ministry as being other than temporary and centingent. On Tuesday last—which certainls'. pre ceded the announcement in The Sun, and the delivery of the great seal to Lord Lyndhurst—we stated what we had heard of probable appointments ; among the rest, that which was officially announced in the Supple ment to Friday night's Gazette, but we stated at the same time that the permanent arrangements would not be made before the return of Sir R. Peel from Italy. We added that even the appointment to the office of Premier must abide that event. A Morning Contemporary having denied in the most positive manner that, with the exception of the acceptance of office by the Duke of Wellingion, any appointment whatever had been mode or even discussed, we took notice of that denial on Wednesday, and observed that as we must have a provisional Government until Sir R. Peel arrives, there must be at least temporary appointments ; nor could we suppose the Duke of Wellington means to per form the Duties of Lord Chancellor as well as those of Secretary of State. The supplement to the Gazette, on Friday night, proved that our designation of Lord Lyndhurst, three days before, as provisional Lord Chancellor, was perfectly correct. The Standard goes on to say—" Had it been intended that the Learned Baron's custody of the seal should for the present be more than provisional, he would have bsen at once gazetted Ch a n ce ll or , or th e sea l pl ace d i n commission." How the fact of the seal being placed in commission could prove the other fact of a permanent Lord Chancellor having been appointed we cannot pos sibly imagine, for as long as the seal is in commission there can be no Lord Chancellor. It is necessary that the moment the great seal is returned to the King by the ex-functionary, it should be placed in the hands of one or more persons, otherwise no fiat of bankruptcy (not Commission of Bankruptcy, as the Central Cri minal Courts Bill has it) could be issued, nor other important official acts done, which we need not specify. When the seal is placed in the custody of more than one person, the Commissioners, whether two or three, do not constitute one Lord Chancellor. When the seal is placed in the custody of one person, even in that case it does not necessarily follow that he should be Lord Chancellor, though only provisionally, because he may be no more than Lord Keeper of the Great Seal by the terms of his appointment. In the present instance the seal has been intrusted to one person, that person the Noble and Learned Chief Baron of the Ex chequer. It has been intrusted to him as Lord Keeper, for the supplement to the Gazette states, that upon the delivery of the great seal to him the oath of Lord High Chancellor was administered. Being sworn in Lord High Chancellor we should think pretty strong evidence of being appointed to that office, and, if he resigned it to-morrow, would entitle him to the retiring pension, which it was one of Lord Brougham's first " disinterested and economical Acts" to have aug mented from 4,0001. to 5,0001. per annum, notwith standing that " retrenchment" was one of the words which caused the Whig banner to be floated into the high places of power upon the tide of popularity. The same day in which Lord Lyndhurst took -his seat in the Court of Chancery he presided in the Court of Exchequer, an arrangement which cannot, of course, be other than of a temporary nature. We doubt that Lord Lyndhurst, even if confident of Sir Robert Peel's accession to office and approval of the appoint ment, would, at present, accent it on the terms of va cating his seat for life he ire Exchequer. But upon the form a t ion o f a Ministry, if h e p re f e r to continue Lord Ch o Licellor, we have little doubt that the vacancy iii t i Le - Exchequer will be filled, as we stated a week ago, by the appointment of the ablest lawyer in West minster Hall, Sir James Scarlett, with a peerage. Now, as to the Duke of Wellington, we have declared that we will await • the announcement of the measures of his Government before we express any opinion as to its stability one way or the other. Our opinion of the late Administration did not await its downfall. Day after day, short as its term of existence was, we were under the painful necessity of censuring the weakness, incapacity, or want of principle which its acts betrayed,. whether i n h ome or f ore i gn p o li c y. e l x n e l r o c v is e ing of place arz t laceeined to consist all its patriotism-4n o keep it, all their statesmanship. How often. nave we alluded, in terms of reprobation, to 6 1 disgraceful and treacherous intrigue by which some members of the late Cabinet compelled Lord Grey to resign in disgu s t, w hil e th ey supp li cate d th e ass i stance of Ir. O'Connell in governing Ireland, and dictating the terms upon which the Protestant Church is to be allowed to exist, if at all, though he does not conceal his wish for the total subversion of that Church, though he had the reckless audacity to declaim in Parliament against the " cant of preserving the national faith," and though he avows that he only agitated the question of " Catholic emancipation" as a step to the repeal of the union, or, in other words, to the dismemberment of the empire. The continuance for any length of time in power of a Government s o d es tit u t e o f ta l en t, energy, and prin ciple—so vacillating and feeble, would be the strongest practical proof that could be afforded of the empire having reached that stage of decline when even the hope of successfully struggling against ruin deserts a people. Confident as we are that the late Ministry could not have gone .zin much longer, even if his Maj es ty h a d not dismls se 4 ii—and that it must have broken to pieces in tl's." next Session of Parliament, and most probably have plunged the country into dreadful, if not inextri cable confusion, we now await the formation of a new Ministry, and the measures which are to be proposed, that we may know whether we ought to give it our sup port or opposition. There is no more undoubtedpreroga two of the Crown than the unrestrained right of his Ma jesty to choose his own Ministers. In all reforms we look to the restoration of the true principles of the British Constitution, not to the subversion of them, northe adope tionof instigators the new st-faangrles pfd or outlandish doctrines of the democrati c 117/11ePopit:lar excitement for the most selfish p ur p oses .

LONDON WEEKLY PRESS,. For the gratification of our country readers, we in sert below a few extracts from the London weekly press. Our weekly contemporaries have come for ward with a spirit and talent which cannot be too much praised, and we regret only that our space does not enable us to give larger or more numerous (rota tions. " Union" is, as it ought to be, the universal motto of Reformers : ( From the Examiner.) The woodcutter asked the trees for a helve to his hatchet— like the Duke, he bad nothing hut the iron at his command, which is no instrument without a purchase. He told the trees that his object was merely to prune them, and cut array the brambles and underwood which inconvenienced their trunks. The trees, having only wooden heads, were such dupes as to comply with his request, in consideration of such fine promises ; and no sooner bad the man the handle to his hatchet, than he laid it to the trunk of one of the noblest oaks, which groaned, as lEsop tells us, in its fall, that it was rightly served for listening to the promises of a woodcutter, a pro fessed enemy of trees, and giving a handle to an enemy. Now, if the people of England have such wooden heads as to listen to the promises of our man of the hatchet, and to give him a handle, they will soon see him cutting away at the tree of liberty which they have so lately gloried in planting as the ornament and security of the country. Or, perhaps, for a yet apter illustration, we may repeat a story which is no fable. Barrington, the famous pickpocket, gave an order to a cutler for an instrument of a very peculiar construction. The tradesman having finished it at the appointed time, Barrington called, and asked the price, the cutler demanded some guineas, which Barrington paid without any hesitation ; charmed with the liberality of his customer, the cutler pocketed the money, and begged, if it might not be thought impertinent, to ask the uses of so extra ordinary an instrument ; Barrington, after amusing him with some circumlocutions, during which time neither his hand nor the instrument was idle, explained—" to tell you honestly, it is for picking pockets," and, so saying, he left the shop. The cutler was somewhat startled at finding the purposes to which his art had ministered, but comforted himself by thinking of the five guineas, and put his hand in his pocket for that feeling of solid satisfaction which is produced by feeling money, but, to his consternation, he discovered that it was gone, together with much more good company which should have been found in the same place. This is the sort of bargain which the country has to consider. At the price of even four or five millions will it give the Duke an instrument by which he may repossess himself of the purchase-money, and as much more to boot, as it is to be extracted from the pockets of the public? In a word, will it for any gain sell the key of its strong box ? For n remission of taxation, will it part with or imperil the only security for permanent economy and just government? Once let the Reform Bill be at the mercy of the Duke, backed by a Tory majority, and the representive system will be debauched, and we shall be thrown back to the position whence by im mense and costly exertion we extricated ourselves in those years of struggle, '3l and '32. In the foregoing remarks showing how " penny wise and pound foolish," it would be— not to mention more important and exalted considerations—to sell a majority to the Captain for a remission of taxes, it is far from our purpose to impute extravagance to the Duke ; he would use the power obtained only to reseat the oligarchy upon the shoulders of the nation, and to hold out against efficient reforms in church, municipalities, &c. ; but the Janissaries who followed the Vizier would insist on their largesses, and, if do nied, would soon put the bow-string round his neck, and set up another chief who would gratify them, through a Tory ma jority in the House of Commons, with the pillage of the public purse. Again, therefore, we say, as the only security against every evil, stand by the Reform Bill, and return none but those who may not only be believed devoted to its principle, but pledged also to complete the measure where it has proved defective—namely, to remove the restrictions ; and, further, to vote for triennial Parliaments. ( From the Spectator.) If the Duke of Wellington were really disposed, as his friend the Times insinuates, to form an Administration on re form principles, he would naturally be in communication with leading Reformers; but who are the worthies that flock around his Grace ? They are Lord El!enborough ; Lord Cowley, Lord Maryborough, Lord Jersey, Sir Char►es Manners Sut ton, Lord Lyndhurst, &c.: highly respectable men, no doubt _excellent guardians of the creed and morals of the land — men of Me right Newcastle, Inglis, and Ilarrowby stamp, we suppose ; but still, not distinguished as Reformers, with the exception of Lord Ellenbcrough, who, when he fancied the time was come, offered to carry even a larger, a more demo cratic measure of reform, than Lord Grey could digest. With this honourable exception, the Duke gathers none but bitter Anti-Reformers about him. Will the Times explain this puzzle ? (From the Satirist.) And now let us turn to the Times—that most corrupt, most venal, most profligate of all profligate journals, which is again the slave of Wellington and Toryism ! On Satur day it held the intrigue which overthrew Lord Melbourne in abhorrence. " The Queen has done it all I" On Sun day the Duke took George Croly's hint The Duke was a " Liberal Tory," and on Monday the Times, changed its tone. The Queen had not done it all I No, nor any part of it. The Queen had not the slightest concern with the revolution of the Cabinet. " The Queen is not capable of any undue Intermeddling with public affairs, or of attempt ing —what we are sure she could not accomplish if she did— to exercise any influence upon the mind of her Royal Con sort, in what relates to his sole authority as Sovereign." We know better; but let that pass. Here is a journal— the " Leading Journal of Europe"—whose consistency has ever been, certainly, like that of a dial ; for as the hand when it is twelve points to twelve, so the principles of the Times, when Tories are in power, point to Toryism, and vice versa as the time comes round—which, after having been for the last four years strenuously upholding the cause of Reform— supporting its advocates with all its power—quarrelling with them only when they exhibited symptoms of a disinclination to carry its principles into full effect, and ridiculing the idea of the Tories ever again being permitted to rule the destinies of England—no sooner finds that the Tories ARE again in Power than, stimulated by Conservative liberality, it hurls down its liberal flag and unfurls the standard of anti-reform. It is of no use mincing the matter. The Times is no longer the f r i en d o f R e f orm . It canno t serve a cause and the enemies of that cause at one and the same time. The clap-trap of " measures not men," is well where men have NOT been tried —where measures can be ensured ; but we do not know these men ? Do we not also know that the measures of these men MUST—unless they utterly degrade themselves and disgust the world by the formal abandonment of character and principle— be decidedly inimical to improvement. The assumption of the fallacy is a pretext—a mere mask for corruption. But the ve nality of the Times will live. (From the New Bell's Weekly Messenger.) It would appear, from the characters of the men who have been in conference with the Duke during the week, that the new Administration will be purely Tory. The Ellenboroughs, the Lyndhursts, the Manners Suttons, the Herrieses, the Arbuthnots, the Hardinges and the George Dawsons (1) are not the men to sacrifice their much-vaunted " consist ency." It is quite ridiculous, then, to expect that the people will obtain anything from the Tories. It is a bitter mockery to talk of the Tories granting any sort of reform. They have contrived, through a Court intrigue, to wrest the victory from the hands of the people, and would now " cheat us with a show of liberty," of which it is far from their intention that we shall taste. But we will baffle them yet. We have beaten the Waterloo hero without a Reform Act : it will be strange indeed if we cannot beat him again, now that we are possessed of that blessing. What can he do if he is refused the supplies? Is the Times bribed to wheedle the Com mons ? We only make the inquiry. It is for the consti tuencies to look sharp after their representatives. The file of the Times newspaper, for the last six days, ought to be burnt by the common hangman. The utter abandonment of prin ciple, which has been displayed in the columns of that journal within the period stated, is unprecedented in the annals of public journalism. The coolness and arrogance, with which this brazen display is made, is not the least remarkable part of our contemporary's degradation. Never before was the press so scandalized, so disgraced. And this is " the leading journal of Europe 1" It is in the remembrance of our readers, that the Times, once, not merely set its face against the Duke of Wellington and his partisans, " but actually instigated the people to the use of brickbats and bludgeons in their election contests." The man, to prevent whose return to power, the use of the brickbat and the bludgeon was so strongly recom mended, is now become the god of our contemporary's idolatry, and the once Radical Times is become the most besotted wor shipper at the shrine of Toryism 1 (From Bell's Life in London.) The meetings that have taken place in the metropolis have been of incalculable importance to the cause of good govern ment, and they who originated them deserve the thanks of their countrymen for their active zeal at such an importa-A crisis. The country must speak out at once. It must tell the Duke, and all his slavish sycophants, that the progress of Reform shall not be stopped—that it shall not even be de layed. The Duke must be taught now, as he was taught upon the Catholic question, that England's resources shall not be wasted—that England's power shall not be disgrace fully put forth to perpetuate that most crying abuse, the Irish Church, in its present state. Disguise it as they may, the Tories know full well that the chief thing they dreaded was a reform of that Church. It is the greatest abuse in the em pire, and, therefore, they cling to it the most fondly. The reform of the Irish Church could hardly have occurred with out the application of the principle of that reform to the C;ltirch of England. The Church, that is to say, the Tithes Pluralities—the fat things of Ecclesiastical preferment were threatened, and the whole class of tax and tithe-eaters felt a m xtal anguish seize upon them. Slowly as the Whig Ministers ,moved —delicately as th e y t r ied to deal with long e abuses—the Tories saw that they did deal f and the Tories moved earth and heaven— atalbyli with them thYemorY; BIRMINGHAM CORN MARKET, Nos *2O.

They attempted to con ciliate the Tories, and they are now paying the penalty of their foolish attempt. lx ( From the Weekly ispatcA.) The people of England are called upon, at the present alarming crisis to throw aside all differences of opinion as to the extent of Reforms, and to avail themselves of every con stitutional weapon of defence against the daring machinations the enittmen foe, the Toriei. By whatever name the sup porters of despotism, of corrupt misgovernment, of tax-eating abuses may choose to designate themselves, all should merge in one vast and overwhelming Anti-Tory party. Not only is the great cause of Reform—not only is the Reform Bill itself in jeopardy—but the liberties of the country are in danger. England is again under a Military Dictatorship ; and if the people are lulled into false security by the treacherous argu ments of a degraded portion of the press, all that Tory tyranny can invent—ail that Tory malignity can inflict—will be perpe trated upon us. • Those who would teach Englishmen to rely upon any promises of Liberal Government from such men as the Duke of Wellington anti his party, are traitorous or cowardly watchmen, who forsake their posts, and leave the gates unguarded, and bid the inhabitants sleep on, while ban ditti are rushing upon them. ( From the Observer.) Reformers of England I be calm, but resolute—energetic, but not violent. Let no rash words disgrace your cause—no tumultuous proceedings hazard your success. Prepare for the coming contest with promptitude and vigour ; for, depend upon it, a dissolution is not only inevitable, but will be speedy; and remember that the efforts of your opponents will be the strug gles of despair. Form district committees without delay,— neglect no measure of precaution--and look to the noble ex ample which has already been set you by Manchester, Not tingham, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Derby, and Leeds. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE NEAR ROTIIERITHE CHURCH. Saturday morning, shortly after two o'clock, a destructive fire was discovered in some unoccupied warehouses (formerly used as a granary) 11 the side of the river Thames, facing King Edward's Stairs, Wapping, and within twenty yards of Rotherhithe church. The scene was painful in the ex treme, the inhabitants, on the first alarm, leaving their houses unprotected, thinking themselves fortunate in baying escaped with their lives. Before three o'clock, eleven of the London Fire Establishment, the floating, the Norwich Union, West of England, and Kent (from the Deptford station) engines arrived; but unfortunately, for some time, only half of them could be supplied, through the medium of the powerful steam-engine belonging to the I hames Tunnel. By half-past three, seven houses were in flames, Mr. Grite's ironfoundry, Mr. Boole's (the Spread Eagle), Mrs. Ander son's clothes-shop, and four others, small tenements ; the furniture belonging to which is entirely consumed, and the buildings are reduced to a heap of ruins. The inspectors of the R division, Rowley and Stevens, with several policemen, saved a considerable quantity of property, and deposited it for safety in the Thames Tunnbl yard, awaiting the owners to remove them; for their exertions they are entitled to the highest praise. For some time it was very doubtful whether the church could escape the conflagration ; to the well-directed management of the floating engine its safety may be attributed. The poor woman named Anderson has experienced a severe loss, her stock of stores, &c., in the house having been very great. A poor waterman, named Saunders, had his wherry also destroyed, having been laid up in the Granary-yard for the winter. The fire was visible to a considerable extent ovir Kent, Essex, and Surrey. It was near seven o'clock before the flames were subdued. We are sorry to add that but few of the sufferers are insured. FURTHER PARTICULARS. We regret to state that no doubt is entertained that the fire was the work of an incendiary. The building where it broke out has been unoccupied for the last three years, and no access could be gained legally on the premises. On Friday night two men attired in great coats buttoned up to their chins, and their hats slouched over their eyes, landed from a wherry at Church-stairs, near the granary, and remarked to Thomas Story, a waterman, that fires were very numerous in Rother hithe lately. Storey replied, " Yes, we have had enough for seven years." On which one of the strangers observed, " Perhaps not, you will have a few more," They were seen to walk off and perambulate the church-yard. About half an hour after their departure the fire was discovered. The churchwardens, Messrs. Sedger and Morgan, the overseers, and Mr. Nottingham, the Vestry-clerk, have made the most rigid inquiries, and, with their usual promptitude, have ex amined several persons, and at an early hour on Saturday morning they issued a placard offering a reward of MI. fer the discovery of the offenders who have been guilty of setting the premises in question on fire. It appears that several threatening letters have been re ceived by respectable inhabitants in Rotherhithe, hinting tint, their premises would be burnt down, and that great fires were in contemplation. Saturday afternoon Mr. J. S. Sedger, the churchwarden, and Mr. Nottingham proceed- d to the llonie Office, and had an interview with the Duke of Wellington, the result of which was a proclamation, offering a further reward of 1001. and a free pardon to any person engaged in the crime (except the party actually firing the premises) who shall discover his accomplices, was ordered to be issued. We regret to add, that several poor families, who occupied apart ments in the two houses burnt, have lost everything they pos sessed. A young man who saved his clothes took them into the street, where he was quickly deprived of them by a ging of thieves, who mustered in considerable numbers, and took aivantage of the confusion to carry on their heartless and ne farious business.
