SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. Last night Parliament met after the Easter recess. The explanations which took place in the House of Commons on the breaking up of the old Ministry, and the difficulties which had obstructed the forma tion of a new one, were as interesting as the public had been led to expect. The only person, certainly, whose retirement from office occasions any thing like regret is Mr. Peel. He was sufficiently explicit on the subject, and his motives will be favourably ap preciated ; but it seems erroneous to suppose that there was no concert-in the " strike." Mr. Can ning's explanation of his own conduct was received with great and very general approbation. The pre sent Ministry resembled all others since the year 1812 ; the members composing it were, or might be, of different opinions on the Catholic Question. But emancipation was not to be Cabinet n3easi:c;2. Why, then, was Mr. Canning to suppose himself disqualified from acceding to the station of which his talents rendered him worthy, because he, like the rest, had a decided opinion on the subject ? He did not arbitrarily or arrogantly constitute himself Premier; the King called him to the office. Was he to say—" The opinion which I entertain upon a certain measure, renders me unable to attend to your Majesty's call ?" The answer would have been, an inquiry why he adhered to an opinion 'which rendered . him incompetent to serve his iCountry ? or rather, why he harboured an opinion by which the King himself was restricted in his right to `4lelViand the services of every subject in the .State ? Sir V - rancis Burdett approved of Mr. Canning's conduct ; and some observations by Mr. Dawson produced one of -Mr. Brougham's happiest efforts. It is curious to observe the enemies of emancipation (the "outs") striving to obtrude that measure now upon the Ministry. We should attempt it, were we in the place of Ministers; when and how we pleased ; or, if we thought it more advisable, we should not attempt it at all as Ministers, though it cannot be de nied that much will have been gained to the cause, by the circumstance that the Prime Minister of the country, in his individual capacity, is favourable to it. —Times. It may be lucky for. the ex-Tory Lords that the ex-Commoners of the late Cabinet had 24 hours' start of them in the business of explaining. We think that if their Lordships have much use of the organs of observation, memory, and discretion—if they have not lost, together with their offices, all that shrewd ness which official personages are so well fitted to employ in the noticing of signs and omens—they will suffer themselves to be warned by the temper which was manifested among the Members of the House of Commons yesterday, as well towards Mr. Canning as his adversaries. If explanations could be limited to one side of the House, it would. be 'extremely comfortable. The expounding party, who opened the subject, might, in that case, have the last word also, and the question would go to the jury with no guide or evidence but that of a single speech. But such, unhappily for the Noble Lords and Commoners who have played off the airs of M used gentlemen on this occasion, is not according to the rules of Parliament. If Mr. Peel speaks, Mr. Canning answers ; if Mr. Dawson talks, Mr. Brougham succeeds him. If elsewhere there be a Bathurst to make blunders, there is a Goderich to expose them—if an Eldon to insinuate doubts upon the new Administration, there is a Plunkett to put the head of the Learned Lori once more" in Chan cery." We say nothing of the late Comniander-in- Chief, or of his worthy colleague frogs Westmor land; but, while there is yet time to deliberate, let the ex-Ministers of th • House of Lords beware how they indulge their numeroua enemies, by risking a disclosure of the feelings which instigated them to resign. Nobody wants their explanation—no wise man is the least curious to ascertain the cause of a consequence so infinitely pleasing.' As for the ama teur defenders of the resignation,—viz. Lord Ellen borough (the brother-in-law of the late Lord Lon donderry), and the present Marquis of that title,— what brings them into the fray we wonder ? People say that they are both inclined to_tire, in retreating, one valedictory shot at his Majesty's Prime Minister; but " Thrice is he armed that hath his quarrel just," &c. &c.—ln the mean time, talking of these Parthian shots, what will be said, or can be thought, of that nonde ecript order from the Horse-Guards, signed by Sir Henry Torrens, in the name of the Duke of Wellington, after his Grace, as the order telle-assrissiskactusiiy resigned the corn mend of the British arroy.:.-after he had ceased to be Com mander-in-Chief, and by his own voluntary act had for feited all right or pretension to address one word, whether of order or observation, to the troops of George IV. ? And what is the gist and bearing of this general order ? Why, first, to tell the King's forces that the Duke of Wel lington had been "under the necessity" of resigning, that he had been so treated as to be compelled to resign a corn wand intrusted to him by his Majesty : was this a proper expedient for encouraging attachment to their Sovereigis in the breasts of the soldiers? Was it, we repeat, consist ent with the duty of the Duke of Wellington to circulate among thetroops a virtual complaint against their King, and then t o l ay a t rap f or t h e i r l oosene d affections, by boast ing of the solicitude which he (not George IV. but the dismissed Commander) would ever feel for their welfare? We ask these questions gravely and earnestly : we should like to have them resolved. It is our further wish toltnow whether a general order issued at such a time, and in such a spirit, could be left with safety for a single moment in the orderly-books of any corps in the service, or whether the multiplied emoluments and honours which his Majesty has bestowed upon the late Commander-in- Chief,—regiments, governments, &c.,—ought to inure to him for any longer term than "quamdiu se bens gesserit ?" —lbid. The feelings of public men, which have been so keenly excited by the events of the last few weeks, found a vent in language last night in the House of Commons. Mr. Peel seized the opportunity afforded by the motion for a new writ for Ashburton in the room of his successor, to offer some explanation as to the grounds on which he felt himself compelled to retire from the service of his Majesty,—an ex planation which he said was due not only to him self individually, but to the character of the class to which he belonged—the class of public men. Mr. Peel's reasons for quitting office may be summed up in a few words. He will not form a part of any Administration which is not hostile to the conces sion of the Claims of the Roman Catholics. The late Administration was nominally neutral, but really hostile to the Claims, because the opinions of the chief of the Administration were decisive as to the side on which the influence of Government was en listed; and the Administration of Mr. Canning, for the same reason, must enlist its influence in favour of concession. On a footing of equality, Mr. Can ning and Mr. Peel cannot possibly meet. If Mr. Canning could have reconciled himself to inferiority, he, Mr. P. would have had n o objection to superiori ty ; but being unable to obtain ascendancy, he chose to withdraw from the public service. This is the plain English of the laboured statem e nt w hi c h M r . Peel delivered last night, as the manifesto of himself, and " the class to which he belongs." It is obvious, however, that referri ng ent i re l y to the Catholic question, it throws no light on the motives which induced Lord Melville to perpetrate such a robbery on his countrymen. That they con sider his retreat as little better than a sacrifice of their vital interests, may be inferred from the follow ing short, but pithy paragraph, which appeared in The Scotsman of Saturday last : " T 21.1. IT Nor IN GAM—Frail is the memory of a Sta . t ainnan, and short are the steps in this country between "'naafis* , and oblivion ! Will our readers believe us, when we inform them, that at a dinner of the Magistrates, Constables, and other Civic Functionaries of Portsburgh, on Monday, the health of Lord Melville' was proposed, and, after some discussi on , rejected" It is obvious, therefore, : that rejected?" Peel's manifesto will not avail Lord Melville; and we are not a little curious to know how he will acquit himself. We cannot for the soul of us conceive what possible rea sons he could have for quittin g p l ace • for we have always understood his Lordshi p to . be ' one of those who agreed so far with Mr. Peet, as to think with him that public m en ou g h t not lightly " to sever their connection with the state, and to disembark from that service into wh ich they hav e entered. " — Mr. Peel disclaims all levity, and his L ordship has never before been suspeqed of lev ity ; but he now lies under a strong suspicion of it. But to return to the business of last night—Mr. Peel states, that on the 29th of March, he_ said to his Right,lloll. Friend (Mr. Canning), " I will tell you, without reserve, what are my feelings as to my particular situation ; they dictate to me retirement from office, if his Majesty should select you to form - tm Admini stration." Mr. Canning could hardly be expected to do less than return the compliment : " I must tell you, without reserve, that my feelings dictate to me retirement from 'office,. if his Majesty should se lect You to form an Administration." What he did do was this—" I did counsel his Majesty (he said) when he did me the honour to advise.with me, to make a Government in every respect conformable to the opinions of the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Peel). To carry that counsel into effect, would have of course involved the necessity of my retirement from office,"—A curious circumstance was communicated by Mr. Canning, connected with his reason for advising a completely No Popery Administra tion. " Not many months ago, his Majesty received a letter from a source to which I cannot nor will not allude, most strenuously advising his Majesty to place the Government of the country in a state of uniformity, and that uniformity to be an uniform and decided opposition to the Catholic Claims." Lord Liverpool, with whom his Maje.;Py communicated on the subject, said he would never consent to be come a Member of any Government modelled upon the principle of exclusion, and said, that in his opinion, it would be extremely difficult to accomplish such a formation. Mr. Canning, however, when he, as a Counsellor of the Crown, was placed under the necessity of advising his Majesty, felt it his duty not to disguise it from his Sovereign, that although " the formation of such . a" Ministry was a work of very great difficulty, it was not a task of absolute impracticability." Here, then, a door. was at once opened for Mr. Peel and his friends : their ambi tion might have:been gratified to their hearts' con tent. They could not serve under Mr. Canning ; and he generously even advised the 'placing the ball at.their feet. Then there were the 'Duke of Wel lington, the Earl of Westmorland, the Earl .of Eldon, Earl Bathurst, Lord Viscount Melville, Lord Bexley, and Mr. Peel ; all that they had to do was to place themselves, and to draw on the admiration of the country. In a play of Moliere, M. Jourdain holds a consultation wit h . a learned philosopher, as to the order in which he ought to put the words " Beautiful Marchioness, your beautiful eyes make me die of love," and the philosopher put the words through all the poSsible combinations for him. Putting Mr. Peel out of the question, who has fallen into bad company, the placing of the others might have been as well decided by a throw of dice-as any other way ; all equally well adapted for leading or following. Never was there a finer instance of practical raillery than this recommendation of Mr. Canning. Even Sir Thomas Lethbridge, though he limy not have all his organs so well developed as Mr. Combe might wish, must, we think, have smoked the ridicule of such an Administration, when he so un accountably shrunk from his motion for the forma tion of an united Cabinet. " For what reason (said Mr. Canning) that advice was not acted upon—by whose advice, or by what counsel it was determined to abandon that course, I do not know (the Right Hon. Gentleman could give a shrewd guess as to the cause, we dare to say) —and more than I know I will not say—hut, from the pe riod when I first saw the King, and gave the advice I have described, down to the period when his Majesty came to town, I had no knowledge of any certainty that the ad vice I gave had not been adopted. . . . I withdrew' altogether from any participation in the arrangements, in order that the experiment, which was said to be so loudly called for by the country, might be fairly tried—that expe riment which was alluded to, and sought to be enforced, by the abortive motion of the Hon. Member for Somerset shire." So, it seems, they could only agree as to keeping out the Catholics, and keeping out Mr. Canning ; they could not agree as to which of all the above great men was absolutely the greatest. It may have been a feeling of modesty which led the No Popery Lords to decline con stituting of themselves an Administration, or it may have been his Majesty's perce r tion of the ludicrous which sup plied their want of modesty; but a No Popery Adminis- I tration was not attempted. Then came, as a matter of course, a divided Cabinet, but divided in such a way as to render it impossible for Mr. Peel to continue his services. " The Right Hon. Gentleman, Mr. Peel, said (311 . . Can ning, when he addressed the House), said, how was it pos e sible not to perceive, that without doing any thing active in the cause of the Catholics, without moving even a finger in their support, my mere existence in my present position, and the absence of those others (for whose absence, be it recollected, I am not responsible) must be taken as a mo ral promotion of the question upon which we have been hitherto divided. Sir, I cannot possibly deny the truth of that observation. It is literally true ; and any one who will take the trouble to put that question and that answer together, must find in that answer a reply to the taunts of Hon. Member for Somerset (Sir Thomas Lethbridge) when speaking of the support which the Opposition have declared their intention to bestow upon the present Administration. That Opposition have declared their intention to support me. And why ? Because they see the very same thing about to come to pass as the Right Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Pcsl)—that without stir ring, as I have said, a single step in the advocacy of the cause they have espoused, my mere existence where I am is an unquestionable advance of their object." This was speaking out in a bold and manly manner. It was because the Opposition saw the consequences that they coalesced with Mr. Canning ; and it was because that we saw them also, that we have uniformly expressed a wish for the co alition. Mr. Canning spoke very handsomely of Mr. Peel, and stated, that with the single exception of the Ca tholic Question, " there did not exist a single individual Whose sentiments upon every question were in more per fect accordance with his own." This is what I,:e have all along stated. But this places Mr. Peel in an impossi bility of opposing the Government, except on that single question. But if the identity of principle between Mr. Canning and Mr. Peel, with that exception, is complete, then is there a perfect identity between the principles of Mr. Canning and his friends and those of the late Opposi tion. This was happily shown by Mr. Brougham last night, in repelling the absurd charge of inconsistency brought forward by Mr. Dawson. "No doubt, Sir," said Mr. Brougham, in a fine vein of irony, " this charge is true. We for years have condemned every measure of the foreign policy of the Right Honourable Gentle man; because, since the death of the Marquess of Londonderry, we have been disposed, against his will, to rivet fast to the wheels of the Holy Alliance, the triumphant chariot of the British fortunes--(ebeers) —an unnatural coalition, to be sure, with the Board of Trade, because we have been always enemies to a libe ral commercial policy—because I never gave utterance to those principles, long before they were found acceptable to those who, by their talents and official weight and importance, were infinitely better qualified to promote them,—an unnatural coalition, undoubtedly, because we have constantly differed from the Right Hon. Gen tleman as to the internal policy of the ,Empire ; be cause we, forsooth, have ever disputed with him as to that great corner stone, the mode fitting to be adopted for the Government of our sister Kingdom of Ire land. Look over all the great political questions that di vide some men, and approximate others at the present day —travel with your eye over the affairs of Europe or across the Atlantic, and see the dawn of liberty in South Ame- , rice, where millions are blessing the grateful light, while the hearts of millions in this country are heating in unison with theirs Surveying all those great ques- tions which divide men in their opinions, and animate conflicting parties and rival Statesmen, I can conscien tiously declare, that I cannot discern one single tenet or statement--nay, one solitary feeling which, practically speaking, has influenced the Councils of his Majesty's Go vernment during the last three or four years gone by, and which did not find in my opinions a firm support, and in my feelings a faithful echo." The Opposition in the House of Commons is, as we anticipated, annihilated. The allusion by Mr. Brougham to the period when he was a humble Member of that body (the Opposition), of which the Honourable Baronet, Sir Thomas Lethbridge, is now the distinguished leader, absolutely convulsed the House. But we fear this compliment will carry animosity into the camp ; for we arc mistaken if Mr. Dawson and Mr. Dun combe are not both equally ambitious of being chiefs of Opposition. Whatever may be decided with respect to the heads, it is not the less a glorious Opposition.---Morn ing Chronicle. Yesterday afternoon, the avenues leading to the House of Commons were crowded by throe o'clock ; but the gallery was not opened till nearly five o'clock, owing to there being an election ballot. Ac cording to the ordinary forms, Mr. Canning could not have taken the oaths arid his seat, as that cere mony must be performed before four o'clock, and the ballot, which takes precedence of all other busi ness, did not conclude till five o'clock; but to meet the urgency. of the occasion, arrangements Were made for the swearing-in of Mr. Canning as soon as the Speaker had taken the Chair, and previously to the commencement of the ballot. Mr. Canning went to the Speaker's house- at half-past three. o'clock, and passed into the Commons Ly. the Speaker's private entrance; and 'having taken the preliminary oath at Mr. Dorrington's office, Mr. Canning, together with Sir P. Mostyn, • took the oaths at the table. . The House was very full at this time, though strangers were not admitted for up wards of an hour afterwards. There was no cheer ing on his entrance; but Sir F. Burdett, Sir R. Wilson, Mr. Tierney, Sir J. Newport,Mr.Broughatn, &c. who had invariably taken their seats on the Op position Benches, appeared seated on the benches immediately behind Mr. Canning. Under the gal lery, and the side galleries, where Peers and their sons are, by courtesy, accommodated, were crowded. There were several Peers present, Lord Seaford (Mr. Canning's personal friend), the Marquis of Sligo, &e.—Under the gallery there were three Bishops, and in the : Members' side gallery two Bishops. We do not recollect to have observed, on any former occasion, the presence of any Bishops to hear the proceedings of the Lower House. They most anxiously watched' every word that fell from Mr. Canning. Besides these various strangers, there were several parties of ladies in the large roof over the House—those ladies being able to see and hear only through the ventilators of the House. The ballot having been disposed of, some new writs were moved for by Mr. Herries. On the proposal that one be issued in consequence of the vacancy ocmsionet - by Mr. Bourne's acceptance of the office of Home" Secretary, i Mr. Peel said he wished. to explain the reasons that had indu ced him to resign such office. He declared his reasons to be of a public charam-r—they.were thunded on the known principles of Mr. Cani:ing on the Catholic Question ; and as the influence of the Premier must be exerted, if Mr. Canning had been sincere—and he questioned not his sin ceritv—to promote that question, Mr. Peel said he felt that he could only have retained his office on sufferance.— Various parts of Mr. Peel's speech were very loudly cheered, and the loud cheering was resumed at its conclusion.— After speeches frcm Sir F. Burdett and Mr. Brougham, justifying their support of the Prime Minister, Mr. Can ning entered into a detail of the circumstances attendant on the various negotiations. He said he had proposed that some Nobleman should be named to supply the place of Lord Liverpool, and that then the Administration should proceed on its previously understood principles; but that the acquiescence in this proposition was met by a sugges tion.that he should-give a pledge on the subject of the Ca tholic Question, which demand went to degrade him, or exclude him from office. He resisted this effort to fix On 'him a badge; and, eventually, the King, acting on ad , xrcd—to the giving of which he was no party—answered by giving him his hand to kiss, on appointing Mr. Can ning to his present office. He added, that the Catholic Question was to remain an open question--not to be made a Cabinet question—and that should any Member bring it forward, he must do so in his individual capacity. Mr. Canning spoke in a rather faltering tone at first, but he afterwards rallied, and was occasionally energetic in man ner. He was also a good deal cheered. Mr. Huskissen ,:at on his left. After Mr. Canning's explanation; i the business closed.—Morning Herald. The House of Commons assembled yesterday, after, the adjournment for the holidays, and, as was expected, the discussions assumed a character of in tense interest. Upon the question of moving a new Writ for the Borough of Ashburton, in consequence of the Right Hon. Sturges Bourne having accepted the office of one of his Majesty's Principal Secreta ries of State, Mr. Peel rose, and, in a . speech of great length, detailed the motives which had induced him to retire from office. The main ground was, of course, the question of Catholic Emancipation ; but, in stating this ground, the Right Hon. Gent's,- man adverted to a variety of considerations, both personal and public, under the influence of which he had acted. Among other things, he stated that he had contemplated, resigning the Seals of Office in .182.5, in consequenee_of the _peculiar and embarrass ing situation in which he found himself, as the only Minister in the House of Commons who stood op posed to concession of the Catholic claims; but, at the request of his Noble Friend then at the head of his Majesty's Government (the Earl.of. Liverpool) be consented to remain, on condition that a new Parliament .should be .called. It was his decided intention' also to retire, had the motion of Sir F. Burdett, brought forward in the early part of the present Session, been carried in the affirmative, as he anticipated it would. His retirement, therefore, under existing circumstances, was only in accord ance with a determination, the propriety of which. he had long acknowledged. We shall take' ano ther opportunity of observing upon some pas sages of the speech delivered by the Right' Ho nourable Gentleman, the general tenor of which was marked by that candour,. manliness, and high principle, which were to be expected from him. Mr. Canning also addressed the House, and entered into explanations connected with the late Ministerial arrangements, of the most interesting character. For those explanations we must refer to our Parliamentary Report. To recapitulate them would be superfluous : to give them in abstract, injurious. His own language, his own reasoning, and his own sentiments, can alone do jus tice to his motives, in what is past, or to his intentions in what is to come. One fact, however—o:ie single, one im portant fact—we briefly record. "I am 'asked," said Mr. Canning, " is the Roman Catholic Question, with the new Government, a Cabinet Question—No. ,, This em phatic declaration was received with kwal and reite rated Cheers. There was a tone of dignified moderation throughout the whose of .Mr Canning's speech, equally remote from affected humility and indecorous exulta tion—froin taunting i-ivectives against those by whom he had been deserted, and elaborate eulogies upocrt those by whom he had been joined. His language antd manner were tho , ,e of a man who felt all the importan,7e of the struee out of which he had come, triumphant,' and all the responsibility of the position where that triumph had left him.—Sir Francis Burdett and Mr. Brougham ad dressed the House from the Ministerial benches.2.-The House of Lords meet to-day, and it is expected that ittate-' ments of at least an equally interesting character will be made by some of the noble individuals, who formed part of the late Cabinet.—We refer our readers to our Partia mentary Report for the novel appearances exhibited by the House of Commons last night, and for the manner which Mr. Canning was received. It was altogether 40 extraordinary and interesting scene.—New Times. • A comic opera, in one act, was brought out at the Theatre Feydeau, Paris, on the 26th ult., founded on one of the episodes in Sir - Walter Scott's tale of Red Gauntlet. We are concerned to state that the dreadful malady, hydrophobia, has made its appearance in the village of Wath-upon-Deanne, in a man ner truly alarming. A few weeks ago, a strange dog was observed running about in the neigh bourhood, but was little noticed, except that he bit several of his species, and was seen in a field where a number of ewes and lambs, belonging to a respectable individual, were feeding. The consequence is, that ten of the ewes, and up wards of twenty of the lambs, have died in a manner which leaves no doubt but that they were infected with canine madness. The sur viving parts of the flock are in a very doubtful state, and expected to fall victims to this dread ful disease. But here the calamity does not stop : the owner himself has been bitten in the hand, by one of the sheep, arid, with one of his nephews, is gone into Lancashire, to consult an eminent medical gentleman. Another indivi dual has lost five ewes, and others already exhi bit symptoms that they have caught the epidemic. The apprehensions of all in the neighbourhood are awful ; no mutton will be eaten ; and the panic-struck inhabitants are ready to avail them selves of any measure likely to stop the spread ing malady. We would suggest the propriety of having all dogs confined at home, as well as elsewhere ; and we hope that the Magistracy will speedily re-issue those directions,. which, in former years, have proved efficient.—From a Correspondent of the Iris.

I have learned more from the " human face divine " than ever I did from books. The face is the index to the book of human nature. It bodies out by imperceptible lines and evanescent hues the strong points of character, and the most secret emotions of the soul. Of all countenances I love the melancholy one the most, because when it does become gay, its gaiety is so bewitching. I cannot bear the constant smile. It is too much like the gilded sign which is but rotten wood at heart. The deepest fancy, the most fascinating gaiety, and the most interesting cast of thought are most ge nerally associated with your melancholy Madonna face. I have nine times out of ten found such to be the case. Why it is so I never inquired. But the same character may be discovered in the silent portions of nature. How beautiful the afternoon sun appears when he breaks out from a cloudy or a rainy morning ! The fragrance of the fields is agitated—the songsters of the wood begin to chant—the rivulets roll over the pebbly bottonis with joy—the big ocean heaves itself againstits shore with exultation—and the whole face of heaven sparkles with a new brightness that serves but as an anticipation of a glorious ligreafter.—Glasgote Free Press. THE ARMY. GENERAL ORDER. Horse-guards, May 1, in : 7; e ; i l It is His Majesty's command, that the co pondence, which has hitherto been addressed to Military Secretary of the Commander-in-Chief, s he addressed to Lieutenant-General Sir Her Taylor, Deputy Secretary at War. B - j - His Majesty's command, HENRY TORRENS, Adjutant-General• MR. STURGES BOURNE. The Right Hon. William Sturges Bourne, who has JO eeeded Mr. Peel in the office of Secretary of State for the Home Department; is the only son of the Rev: Dr. Sturges, many years a Prebendary of Winchester a n u Chancellor of the. Diocese, highly esteemed as a most lir right man and an eminent divine, especially in his ale" brated controversy with the Roman Catholic Dr. Milner , , on points arising out of the latter's history of Winchester' After-sing through his education at Winchester School , Mr. Sturges became the. contemporary of Mr. Canning ' Christ-church, where the acquaintance Was formed whi cP led to their future intimacy, and the former's present de' vation. After leaving Oxford, Mr. Sturges was, about tho year MS, called to the Bar, and.had a tolerably rising share of practice, both at the Hampshire Sessions and ' 9° the Western Circuit. He had not, however, been mane years at the Bar, when his promising talents, aided by 1 " 5 father's character and connections, attracted the atteoti ° of Mr. George Rose, Who brought him into Parlianieer for his own borough of Christ-church ; and he 0 , .soon after a pp o i n t e d by M r . Pitt t o th e o ffi ce "whic h Mr. Rose himself had held—viz, that of one pf tbe joint Secretarie s to th e T reasur y, w hi c h 'h e co ntinue : to fill till the time of Mr. Pitt's death in 10 6, and it may be truly said, we believe, that no Pelt enjoyed more of the society or confidence of latter days of Mr. Pitt than fell to the lot of M . ' Sturges. On Mr. Pitt's death, he attached himself to the opinions and the political fortunes of Mr. Canning, Wi th whom-he h as occas i ona lly held office ; lint without any f that thirst for it which distinguishes mote ardent minds' With the name of Bourne, he acquired some years since 6 considerable accession of fortune, which he has principally enjoyed in retirement, at his seat, Testwood, near South ampton, where, however, he was well known as en active Magistrate, and an incomparable Chairman of the Sessions—an office, however, which he some ye , r s since resigned. Mr. Sturges Bourne has been parti cularly distinguished by his knowledge of, and atten tion to, the subject of the Poor-laws; which, together with his professional habits and pursuits, will qualify him for carrying into effect the legal reforms so sue' e lV esl ;. fili ß lY our c n o e min ha e s ne n e o d ne bY of M th r e h P ig e h a e h r re A q s uis a it n es Premier ; but his Parliamentary orations, 'though not frequent or elaborate, have always been distinguished by their suavity and good sense. As a gentleman and a' scholar no man is more highly esteemed among his friende; long been named as a probable successor to the Sp and his public talents are best. appreciated by his having Speakers Chair..--Mornin g - Paper.
