SPIRIT OF T. There seems to be but one opinion with regard to the great display at Edinburgh. The feeling in which the meeting originateclpervaded all classes. The de monstration was truly national. As a spectacle, no thing could be more magnificent than the procession of the trades, and the English visitors were peculiarly struck with it and the appearance of the crowds on the Calton-hill. It was peculiarly appropriate that the capital of that part of the empire which has more than any other gained by the Reform Bill, should be fore most in the expression of gratitude to the upright and consistent Statesman through whom the measure was achieved, at the close of a long and unsullied poli , tical life. The speech of Earl Grey was worthy o: his reputation. We agree with a morning contem porary (the Times), " that his fame lives, and will long live, in the hearts of Englishmen. His monument is based on the rights of his country men. No Statesman ever withdrew from power, leaving such a general sentiment of reverence be hind him ; for even those who found fault with his policy do honour to the loftiness of his mind, and his very enemies feel too late it will be long before they meet so fair a foe." It was not always thus, however, that Earl Grey was spoken of by our contemporary. Yesterday the language of eulogy was fairly exhausted by it, in the attempt to do justice to his Lordship. We are told that— " The chivalry of the political world seems, indeed, to end with Lord Grey. He could be stern, but he was never un sparing ; and he appeared to strike for his cause, and not in resentment to the antagonist who stood between him and his great object. His prowess was always crested with dignity. He took no unworthy advantages ; and however great was the force which he put forth in debate, he left an impression that he had exercised as much forbearance as power. To humble and mortify, to pique and abash, were none of his objects. His mind ranged far above the petty vanities and the petty personalities. If he overthrew an adversary, it was for some better purpose than to exult in his own superiority." Again— " In the acknowledgment of the honours paid him at Edin burgh we see the lofty character which made those honours due. In Earl Grey's speech there is none of the pride which apes humility.' He returned the compliment to himself with no such bad compliment to his entertainers as referring the tribute of respect to any but the real cause. He did not tell them that it was because he had been the chief Minister of their excellent King that they gave him so excellent a recep tion, but because he was identified with the cause which sheds glory on crowns—the cause of the people—the interests of those for whom kings reign and have their homage." This is an attempt to hit two birds with one stone. The Lord Chancellor is carefully aimed at in the praise of the ex-Premier, who has had but too recent experience of the Times to mistake the object with which he was yesterday singled out for eulogy. On the 10th of June last, the Times, commenting on a debate in the House of Lords on the 6th of June, observed, that " A confession of political weakness, like that of Lord Grey (on the night in question), was never before heard in this country since the revolution. Former Ministers, as is well known, l'.ave considered the support of the Legislature to be a necessa.. 7 condition of their continuance in office. They were men lam held that a certain course of political or financial measures was indispensable to the public welfare—and when they found by experience, or had sufficient reason to antici pate a r.tajority in either House of Parliament against them, they behaved like men of honour, and resigned a post of which they were unable to perform what they themselves acknow ledgea to be the essential duties. They behaved like men of prudence also, and spurned at a situation which rendered them responsible for the acts of other men, which they themselves had not the power of in any manner averting or controlling. 'But what is the condition of Lord Grey, as described by him self and that of his unfortunate colleagues ? The Noble Lord declared, indeed, that it was not very agreeable to him to see a majority of the Peers of the United Kingdom arrayed against bim, and ready to crush him whenever they might so please. If the part, then, be so unpleasant to him—if it be too hot for the Noble Earl, what in the name of wonder in duces his Lordship to remain there? There is no honour surely in laying one's neck upon the ground for other men to trample on it at their leisure." As if this were not insulting enough, the same Earl Grey who is eulogised for his lofty bearing at Edin burgh, for displaying none of the pride which apes humility, for speaking of King William as an honest subject might be proud to speak of him, for not at ' tempting to connect his reception with his having been Minister of an excellent King —was, on the 10th of June, accused of having disgraced himself by affecting to show his gratitude to a King who despised him : " In answer to this question (said the Times), Why Lord Grey clings fast to his office when he has nothing to lay hold of but the ;ery pitch that defiles him ? his Lordship states, and he does so with all his accustomed dignity—that it is out of duty to a Sovereign who has immeasurable claims upon his gratitude. Now, we have never yet understood that any noble man or gentleman in England was bound to inflict disgrace upon himself as a proof of sensibility to past obligations from others. The reply has often enough been made to an English sovereign when importuning certain statesmen t o rema i n i n office, that his Majesty had a right to every sacrifice but that of conscience and honour.' Lord Grey is the first on record who has offered his Sovereign more than twenty shillings in the pound, and out of a fund which no honest - man ought to consider at his own disposal. Besides, let us speak freely, though we trust without offence, on a matter of deep national concern. Can Lord Grey bone fide believe that a certain high personage does in his heart desire the continuance of the present Ministry (we were going to say in power, but that is absurd) in office ? Does Lord Grey think so ?—be cause we can inform him that other people do not. On the contrary, they are of opinion that there is no mark of the Noble Earl's gratitude for all the favours conferred upon him and his relations which the exalted personage would not pre fer to that particular, and to his Lordship most painful, proof of attachment, which he has himself selected as evidence of his loyal devotion,—viz., his persevering retention of the Go vernment in spite of all those advantages by which he laments that he is, and has long been, surrounded ; and of all those numberless humiliations which the public are not slow to per ceive, even though the Noble Earl should happily himself be blind to them." We have here Lord Grey exhibited in the very dignified character of one who will press his services on one who insults him in ei ery way, and puts every affront on him, but in vain—he is insensible to the disgrace. "He talks" (says the Times) " the jargon of senile--of anile Conservatism. What was his answer to Lord Ebrington's well -meant, but most ill judged and unfortunate letter ? Lord Eldon might have written it." And the cause of his putting up with the affronts ? Dr. Johnson has expressed it in his well-known couplet,-- " All sciences a fasting Monsieur knows-- And bid him' go to hell, to hell he goes." " Men know" (says the Times) " what Lord Grey has told them—that it is the high Court faction who rule Lord Grey with a scourge suspended over him ; and they ask themselves what can induce him to be the tool and scape-goat of his Tory task -masters ? What, but the miserable patronage of qffice which he shares among his hungry connections ?" On the 9th of June his Lordship was asked " what good he could do as Minister ?" and told that the Conservatives dragged " him nightly through the dirt." " The Noble Earl (said our contemporary) deprecates a collision between the two Houses. Alas, his supplications are • of small avail. Whenever Lord Grey dares to execute any one of his own pledges, by which he bound himself to follow up the principles of his avowed system of reform of Church and State, by the introduction of any one really bold and effective mea sure after the House of Commons shall have passed it, that moment the collision does come—there is no averting it. Away, then, with this childishness of deprecating' and shrink ing from collision.' If he were a wise and resolute Minister, the Nbble Earl would invoke it as the best of consummations. No more patching up—no more shuffling—no more subser viency. It is utter folly : the people say it is mere vulgar love of place which can alone induce a Minister to be rode over rough shod, as Lord Grey and his colleagues have been." So then the Earl Grey who held a lofty character at Edinburgh on Monday last, was on the 9th of June last a shuffler, a shirker, and a subservient tool of the Duke of Wellington. These are a few only of the flowers of the Times presented to Earl Grey in June last. The Lord Chancellor, we are to understand, from the praise bestowed on Earl Grey--for the Times does nothing with singleness of mind—is disposed to humble and mortify, to pique and a b as h, an d petty va nities and petty personalities are uppermost in his mind. He exults in his superiority. W e are told that his " speech in acknowledgment of a toast, in which he was prudently lumped with the other Ministers, began with that formula which, mouthed as it is upon every occasion, looks, like loyalty burlesqued. He would almost seem to he aiming at the ludicrous effect of that eternal story 6 of his most gracious Majesty,' told by the Lady Margaret Bellenden of Tillitudlem, in Scott's romance. Like bad farce writers, the Chancellor raises a laugh by the mere repeti tion of the same phrase." However, we sup pose we must prepare for " reporting better behaviour" of our contemporary. "It is clear that the Learned Lord was under check, and felt that the an tics which could be played before the burgesses of Inverness and the goods folks of Aberdeen and Dun dee, would have another reception in the company as- " I trust I have now convinced your simpleton of the middle classes of his folly, in attempting to rate the Times for a line of conduct which he was incapable of appreciating; and that I, on behalf of the lowest orders, have established an increased claim on that distinguished journal, for a more frequent repetition of opportunities by which they may better themselves at the expense of their betters. " ONE OF THE LOWEST CLASS." —Morning Chronicle. Lord Brougham seems proud, and justly so, of hav ing been mainly instrumental in passing the new Cen tral Criminal Courts' Act, which is speedily coming into operation. Lord Brougham, however, ought not zo run away with the whole merit of this important measure, but should be content to concede a little of it to the authors of those celebrated " mistakes," the oc currence of which led to the necessity of placing the higher branches of the criminal jurisprudence of the metropolis in safer and more competent hands. But while the Act provides a remedy against one species of " mistake," it is calculated, we fear, to perpetuate another. While the Clerkenwell system was manifestly so defective, that of the Old Bailey has been not less imperfect in handing over criminals of the highest grade to be tried by Judges of whose competency the Crown, and its responsible advisers, have no know ledge, but whose fitness or unfitness for the awful duties thus imposed upon them depends, we believe, upon the judicial discrimination of the worthy dry-salters, fell mongers, et id genus omne, ofwhich the Common Coun cil of London may happen to be composed. It would be an easy, though an irksome task, to illustrate the injurious effect which such a mode of appointing Judges has upon public interest and feeling. We war with the s y s t em , not w i t h i ndividuals. . We arc point ing out what seems to us a great constitutional evil, of the extent of which we are in the habit of furnishing proofs in the abstracts which are published in this pa per of the amount of business done at each Old Bailey Sessions by each of the Judges. Now these abstracts invariably show that the proportions of criminal trials which take place before the three Learned Judges of the land on each rota amounts to little or nothing, in comparison at least with the total number of prisoners. This is one of the evils which the new Criminal Court Bill . ought to have remedied, but which we fear it has not. At least we shall look, and so will a great part of the public, to its first operation, to see whether the criminals of the four counties of Middlesex, Surrey, Essex, and Kent, are to be tried by Judges appointed by the Crown, or whether by those emanating from the Corporation of London. Of corporation abuses, of the correction of which we have heard a great deal, and h ave as yet seen nothing, none probably is more practically mischievous than this virtual usur pation of the duties and powers of the Crown ut this respect. In some boroughs, as in that of Poole, for instance, the Mayor and his brother Jus tices are Judges in cases of - civil injury to any extent, while in all, or nearly all, persons accused of criminal offences are tried by Judges, who, though they may be excellent cheesemongers and tailors, can have no know ledge of the law, sometimes, indeed, though not always, assisted by a Learned Recorder, whose politics or pa ternity have often had more to do with his appoint.. JOURNALS. sembled at Edinburgh in honour of Lord Grey. Thus we can report better behaviour." We were sure the Times would not be long in discovering that Lord Brougham was fast recovering his old perfections. On the 23d of June last the Noble and Learned Lord spoke " with his usual vigour of expression," and even so late as the 30th June, " nothing could be more striking or triumphant than the Chuncellor's vindica tion of his own conduct." Then " his Lordship's character had triumphed over a thousand calumnies, and it does not now require to be supported by a pro cess not only odious in its own nature, but, we are quite sure, decidedly repugnant to the generous feel ings and constitutional principles of the Chancellor himself." The discovery that the Chancellor was a quack, who injured every cause lie took in hand, and knew nothing accurately, seems to have been made with all the suddenness of inspiration. But the Chancellor will once more become the wisest and most eloquent of men. The progress of our con temporary is usually very rapid from any given conclusion to its opposite. Let not Lord Brougham, therefore, despair. He has the example of the treat ment of Lord Grey to encourage him. That Lord was in the dirt a few weeks ago--he is now all that is wise and l o fty an d di gn ifi e d. He may have believed the adulation ofthe Times sincere; for few men are willing to discount anything from the incense that is offered to them ; but he cannot have believed that their vitupera tion was dictated by any other than the vilest personal motives. We do not pretend to know exactly the cause, but we know that it was disreputable to the journal, being entirely private. A clever correspon dent in the Chronicle of this day, who subscribes himself " One of the Lowest Class," adverting to the cause assigned by another correspondent, under the designation of " One of the Middle Class," will be thought to offer a shrewd guess : " Were there no other reasons in the present case but the pulling down of a Lord, in my mind they would be snfficient ; but your middle-class man adverts to letters surreptitiously ob tained as affording a clue. From my habits lam much more likely than him to be acquainted with articles procured (to speak courteously) by indirect means. Now, supposing ano ther private and confidential letter had found its way into the hands of third parties, containing observations on themselves by no means presently flattering or prospectively encouraging ; Ido not say this is the fact; but by way of analogy I put it, as it would be a complete justification for the Times turning round upon, and even smashing, a greater man than the Lord Chancellor." His description, too, of the appearance of the Weird Sisters to a certain " Poor Man's Magistrate" may be thought to be not without its significancy : " Another topic referred to in your Correspondent's letter, is the Poor Law Amendment Bill : and here the Times, I must confess, has given me and mine cause for substantial regret. Among Jonathan Wilde's golden maxims for attain ing greatness is the following—that mischief is too precious to be thrown away ; and when I remind myself of the sugges tions, intimations, hints, and insinuations for a regular row during the progress of this Bill, I am softened even to tears at the useless waste and ineffectual prodigality of the Times—all that vain labour of the mind " to set the poor against the rich throughout the kingdom, " to foment " g enera l di scontent, and perhap s genera l tumult and insurrection." But still all hope is not entirely lost ; Christmas is not yet come ; and the Times says, "As to country agitators we say nothing. If the Poor Bill should pass, we are quite sure that Daniel O'Con nell must hide his diminished head before our Ministers, who will have become agitators of the first water, as the state of the country before Christmas next will unhappily prove, without any reasoning of ours. In this sense, and in this sense only, we tell the Peers that the question is whether or not they will take the measures necessary , for preserving their estates ?" Your middle man, Mr. Editor, complains most grievously of having been misled by the Times into the idea of that Journal being favourable to the above Bill, and certainly his references may be thought at first to admit of such construction. But then he makes no allowance for accidents. The first cursory town view of the Bill might be favourable to its principles, but the country view of a few days later might, as influenced by personal feelings, be dia metrically opposite. I will, as is quite lawful in cases of hos tility, borrow a supposititious personage from my enemy. I will take his " Poor Man's Magistrate," and suppose him actuated solely by motives of personal exaltation, in which he has been already successful to an extraordinary degree. Through the channel of a metropolitan journal, in which he possesses in fluence, he flattered the boobies of his county into his interest by reporting their tiresome harangues and quarter sessional triflings, as matters of importance to the national interests. The idle pauper, rejected by the overseer, is received by him, and orders for relief are seldom or never denied. He seems all eye, all ear, all attention to everybody's affairs but his own. Increase of honour only increases his unquenchable desire for further distinction. Perhaps at the dead of night his distem pered fancy may have presented to him the figures of the " Weird Sisters" dashing aside the silken drapery of his bed and thus addressing him— " First Witch—' Hail to the Poor Man's Magistrate.' " Second Witch—' Hail Member of the House of Commons. " Third Witch—' Hail Deputy-lieutenant of the county.' " All together—' All Hail ! Who may be Baronet here after.' " To the utter rout and confusion of his nocturnal and daily aspirations comes down to him this Poor-laws Amendment Bill, divesting him of that very portion of his magisterial power by which he had found, and still hoped to find, the way to rise with. " This subject of the Poor Laws we will still suppose to have been with him a favourite one, and had the Bill been without these offensive personalities, it would have still been to him the cause of doubt and difficulty, from unwillingness to adopt a stranger, in lieu of a legislative babe of his own creation. But this outrage on private feeling could not be quietly submitted to by him. He was presently up and stir ring. Allow, and merely for the sake of argument, the cla mour of the Times to the Poor Laws Bill to have its origin in such a source, aggravated by the atrocious conduct of Lord Brougham, in daring to express a favourable opinion of the measure, after being lauded to the skies by that journal for fifteen years, where is the flesh and blood that could be cool under such untoward circumstances ? and what improbability is there in assuming that such, or perhaps similar ones, might have occurred to provoke its rattling thunder ? inept than his learning or experience. If Lord Brougham then wishes, as we have no doubt he does, his new measure to work well, and give, as far as varying opinions will admit, general satisfaction, this is a point to which he must give his attention. There is a great parade in the Act of the various persons on whom its judicial functions are conferred. When three Judges attend each of the present Old Bailey Sessions, for there is still one more to occur under the old system, the public naturally expects that the trial of the prisoners is to devolve upon them, as at the re spective Assizes in other places, and are not prepared to see them apparently set up. for show upon the occa sion. Under the new law this expectation will be en hanced, and the disappointment the greater should are same species of laxity continue. Corporation Judges are at best a judicial anomaly ; but they will become a serious evil indeed if their functions are to extend to the four counties, in which, from their contiguity to, and, indeed, forming part of the metropolis, the most important criminal Offences necessarily arise. It is as fit that the Corporation of London should nominate the King's Cabinet Ministers as his Ministers of Jus tice.—Morning Herald. The splendid banquet given by the Nobility and Gentry of the northern part of the United Kingdom to the members of his Majesty's late and present Ca binet, is, we believe, unexampled in the history either of ancient or of modern times—unexampled in magni ficence —unexampled in honour to the individuals for whom it was spread—unexampled for the numbers by which it was graced—the genius, the talent, and the education which presided over it—and still more, per haps for the spirit out of which it arose, and which breathed through it, from beginning to end, a har mony of aim and of end, of which the world had never before been witness, or furnished an example. To Lord Grey the honour may truly be said to have been as supreme as it was, in every respect, deserved. He deserved a nation's gratitude ; and a nation has poured forth its grateful feelings in a manner most honourable to itself, but, if possible, still more honour able to Lord Grey ; for it came forward to speak them out of the fulness of its heart, not when he held the reins of power—not when the fascination of office, and the blandishment of favours to be conferred were around him—not, as he eloquently and feel ingly observed, " when newly raised to power, in the vigour of his age, with a long career of active and useful services before him, and holding out an expecta tion to others of official benefits not yet conferred ; but when lie had descended from power—when his official life had ended, and his parliamentary career was draw ing to a final close--when the balance had been struck between his promises and performances—wh en the past was before his country for judgment, and the fu ture, so far as he was concerned, presented no object either of hope or of fear." For such a mark of dis tinction, Lord Grey, or any other Minister, might assuredly, without the slightest allegation of vanity or presumption, entertain a just and reasonable pride ; and his Lordship seems to have felt it as deeply, as he most feelingly, and with a . dignity and eloquence which admits of no comparison in the present day, testified his sense of it. Into an analysis of the political portion of the speech, which had naturally enough more reference to the past than to the future,—to what had been accomplished rather than to what remains to be done—we will not enter at present. Suffice it to say, that the whole of this portion of the speech was eminently characteristic of the firmness and caution which have marked the policy of Lord Grey ; and though in some measure laudatory of the Reform Act, as in itself a great poli tical enfranchisement, yet pointing to it as most valu able for the power which it confers of effecting such. further improvements as the necessities of the times may call for. In one instance only did he depart from the plain and straightforward object of his address, and that was reward with a final blow—and a more deadly one was never dealt with the same number of words— those who had opposed the policy of his administration, and were now calling forth in the few holes and corners which are still left to them for retreat—that a re-action has taken place in the public mind—that the Reform Act is despised --and that even those who were the fore most to support it, and would have fought, if necessary, in order to carry it, had repented them of their conduct, and were longing for the return of Tory misrule and Tory bondage. " Re-action said his Lordship. " Vain and deluded men ! In what, let me ask, is it that they see symptoms of such a state of things ? Is it ill the approbation which has followed me, and which has been so generously extended to me by my countrymen since my retirement from office ? Is it to be found in those expressions of regard and attachment which I have met with in every step on my way to this place ? Is to be found, lastly, in the meeting of this day, which, whatever the vain imaginations of some men may suggest to them as to a pretended re-action in the public mind, would never have taken place, if it was not the result of a general feeling in favour of reform ? No, Gentlemen, of the good sense and moderation of the people of England and of Scotland —of their attachment to a King who so well deserves all their love—of their sincere •conviction of the wholesomeness of that form of government, the work of a thousand years, by which a larger share of liberty is now secured to them than was ever known by any other nation in the world—of a peaceable and orderly disposition amongst the people— of all these things we may find symptoms enough every where evident to all, except to those persons to whom I have been alluding, and who are not, or will not be convinced of any thing that runs counter to their prejudices ; but of a re-action'—of the advent of that millennium so ardently desired by them—of the restoration of that happy state of things when cor ruption flourished, and when liberty was oppressed — of a re-action of that nature I am sure that if those persons will look at any part of the country, and take any meeting, great or small, as a sample, they will find no symptoms that any rational man would regard as a proof of a re-action in the public mind." Of Lord Brougham's personal share in the ho nours of the occasion, we shall only observe, that his Lordship must be more ambitious of fame, and more greedy of applause than we ever took him to be, if he was not satisfied to his heart's content. Feasted and honoured in every city, burgh, and town, in the more northern part of the kingdom through which he either passed, or approached, he is received in the capital of the kingdom, by those who knew him best in his early days, and who have since kept a watchful eye upon his political career, with all the enthusiasm of a grate ful and admiring people—with all the regard which trust-worthiness naturally begets—with all the honours which political consistency deserves--and all the warmth which purity is calculated to inspire. It was predicted by his enemies, as it was purposely intended and hoped by them, that he would be coldly received by the great northern meeting—that he would be questioned on the subject of Lord - Grey's retirement from officenay, that he would be I,slLiavvlotrer(eriesahtedipdo:os;mbreeud-t t t 1 0 1 e a i r most ap p 0 as nt m t e h n e t i . r hope sHi ception was as honourable to the meeting as it was eminently d eserve d b y t h e invaluable services which he has rendered to the community —no question was asked—no one whispered even the semblance of sus picion or dissatisfaction. Of his Lordship's speech, which furnishes food for the most serious and profound reflection, and which will furnish matter for many subsequent articles, we scarcely know how to express ourselves. It was a great and powerful effort of a great and powerful mind—fraught with eloquence and feeling, and - characterised by a force of language—an aptitude and brilliancy of illustration—a fullness of irony—and a manly daring of accusation, of which those who read it can have but a faint idea, but which those who saw and heard it, will never forget. Its matter also, which naturally turned more upon the fu ture than upon the past policy of the Cabinet, was not less remarkable than its manner. His Lordship entered at great length, and with as much candour as ability, into the state ofparties throughout the British dominions, cha racterising each as he proceeded, commenting upon their views and objects, and concluding by declaring that his Majesty's Ministers would go on in their course, " firm, uncompromising, unhesitating, and unflinching. We will not be hurried on at any other pace than that which we deem, expedient for the public, and safe for the measures Ifiihich we introduce.. We shall not be induced to ta'A : e another course by clamour proceeding from the quarter to which I have been adverting, but deliberately devising what we deem to be just, neces sary, safe, and expedient measures, we shall defy all opposition from the other and the worse class of our enemies, who are opposed to every species of reform ; and who, if left to themselves, would renew over the people the reign of terror, and restore the empire of midnight darkness." The speech of. Lord Durham is too remarkable to be passed over in silence, and we shall embrace an early opportunity of turning the at tention of our readers to it. At present we must close our summary.—Morning Advertiser. An evening paper, the Standard, observes upon the Edinburgh dinner— " The thing most remarkable in the speeches of Lord Grey and the Chancellor is the ingenious dexterity with which each contrived to steer clear of the other. Nothing could be more jealously cold than the manner in which both these noblemen adverted to matters in which they had acted together." There cannot be a doubt that Lord Brougham would have been well pleased to enact the part of pa tron of Earl Grey's fame, and to pronounce a flaming eulogy. The work of panygeric or of invective is equally easy • and agreeable to the Chancellor, for into either he can fling the extravagance in which he delights. From the same palette he will paint an an gel or a devil, according to the pleasure or the purpose of the moment. So that his colouring is strong enough to make folks stare, and wonder at his wonders, he is satisfied. The opportunity of painting a flaring Earl Grey must have been very tempting, and we cannot .but think that the Chancellor's refraining must be ascribed to some understanding that the thing would be disagreeable and even dangerous. According to a common superstition, the blood flows when the de stroyer touches the body of the victim, and there are cases of an analogous nature, in which the blood may rise, and the tongue speak what some ears may not love to hear. A passage in Lord Grey's speech, if not pointed, is cuttingly double-edged "There is, gentlemen, another reflection peculiarly affecting myself, which presents itself to me on this proud occasion,— namely, that this most gratifying of all honours is not paid to a Minister newly raised to privver, in the vigour of his age, with a long career of active and useful services before him, and holding out an expectation to others of official benefits not yet conferred,—no, gentlemen, this proud mark of distinction has been given to a Minister who has descended, I will not say has fallen, from power, whose official life has ended, whose long Parliamentary career is hastening to a final close—to one when the balance has been struck between his promises and his performances, to one when the past is before his country for its judgement, and the future, as far as he is concerned, presents no object either for hope or for fear." In the remark that the honours are not paid to a Minister " holding out an expectation to others of official benefits not yet conferred," Lord Grey seems to glance at the show of popularity which any man having patronage. can every where obtain. Certain we are that Lord Eldon to ,vards the close of his official career would have been cheered and feasted, addressed and burgessed, as no Chancellor has been yet, and Lord Eldon would have attributed all to his serving a Monarch who lived, while he lived, in the hearts of the people, but who is now dead in their hearts. Party will do much in rallying men round any sign, and a giver of good things seldom wants a welcome. The public will be forcibly struck by the significant silence of Earl Grey aF, to the causes of his resignation. When alluding to his descent from office, by one word he could have cleared away the cloud which hangs over the conduct of the Chancellor, but that word was not spoken, and that word was not challenged by him so deeply interested in the utterance of it, if it could be uttered by lips, that have never moved to falsehood. The suspicions (if so faintly we may de scribe what so nearly amounts to direct charge) have not been whispered in a corner ; they have been the topics of the Press, and the talk of the country. With a breath Lord Grey could have dissipated them, for all know that Lord Grey is incapable of untruth or eva sion, but he made no sign. Is he the man to leave the fair dealing of a colleague in doubt if he could de liver it from suspicion ? Is he the man to allow him self to be thought to be wronged if he could with a word show faith where treachery has been imputed, and clear an honourable man of the odium of having contrived against him ? This is certain—that if Lord Brougham has not done what he ought not to have done, Earl Grey has left undone what he ought to have done, and the probabilities on either side will be weighed in the public judgment.— Times. REVISING BARRISTERS' COURT. BOROUGH OF FINSBURY. Mr. SANDYS and Mr. CHAPMAN, the Barristers, held a Court yesterday at White Conduit House, for the purpose of revising the lists of voters for the borough of Finsbury. (Before Mr. SANDYS. ) The lists for the parish of St. Giles-in-the-Fields having been brought under consideration, Mr. Rogers, an inhabitant of the parish, attended to ob ject to the registration of several persons, whose names he mentioned, including Mr. John and Mr. William Delafield, and Sir Charles Flower, partners in the house of Combe, Delafield and Co. He objected also to the list of voters, because it was this year, as it had been every year, full of errors and misrepresentations. Mr. SAND YS said it was necessary that he should produce prima facie evidence in support of his objections. The objection to Mr. Aldwinkle as a voter was then en tered into. The Collector produced the rate-book in which Mr. Ald vvinkle's name appeared, and said the rate was paid by Mr. Bramfield, his partner. Mr. Rogers—Do you know Mr. Aldwinkle ? Collec tor—No. Mr. Rogers—Do you know that he has been dead four years ? Collector—No. Mr. Bramfield was then sworn, and proved that his partner had been dead four years. Mr. Aldwinkle's name was therefore struck out. An objection was then made to Mr. Bramfield's name, as he was incorrectly described in the list " Broomfield?' Mr. B rum fi e ld near ly l os t hi s vote last election in conse quence of his name having been mis-spelt. The alteration was then made in Mr. Bramfield's name. An objection was then made to the name of Mr. John Brown, of Tottenham-court-road. The name was struck out, as Mr. Brown had not resided in the house some time. :The objection made to Messrs. Combe, Delafield, and Co. was then called for. Mr. Rogers objected to Mr. John Delafield, Mr. William Delafield, and Sir Charles Flower being included in the rate-book, under the firm of Combe aniCo. The law re quired that the names of the persons rated should be placed in the rate-book before they were put on the register of voters. A short time ago some poor persons were deprived of their franchise, in consequence of the names of the part ners not having been stated in the rate-book, and he sub mitted that the house of Combe and Co. ought to be dealt with in the same manner. Mr. William Delafield was then swort, and proved that their firm occupied premises in Castle-street, for which they claimed the right of voting. The partners in the house were Mr. Harvey Combe, Mr. Joseph Delafield, Mr. William Delafield, and Sir Charles Flower. Mr. SANDYS decided, that as the rates were paid by the partners, the description of the rating was sufficient for the purposes of the Act. A foreign gentleman, named Carl Kauffmann, who said he was a native of a town near Leipsic, appeared to claim his right to be placed in the list of voters. Mr. SANDvs inquired if he had taken out letters of de nization, or had become naturalized ? Mr. Kauffmann had not. Mr. SANDYS observed that he was then an alien, and not qualified to vote. Mr. Kauffmann had resided in the country upwards of s i xteen years ; many foreigners who had resided in the country a much shorter time than he had, were allowed the privilege of voting, and he added that he was not con sidered an alien by the Government, or at the Alien-office. Mr. SANDYS repeated his opinion that the applicant was not entitled to vote, and observed that he might obtain that privilege by taking out letters of denization. Mr. Kauffmann should not do that, but he would give the collector more trouble the next time he called for the rates. Dr. Rice, curate of St. Luke's parish, observed that the master, registrar, preacher, schoolmaster, and sub-school master of the Charter-house not having been admitted to the right of voting, he wished to state that he occupied the parsonage-house in St. Luke's parish, for which he paid no rates. The parsonage-house, however, forming part of his stipend, although an official residence, he wished to know if his name would remain on the list. Mr. SANDYS, on referring to the 27th section of the Act of Parliament, said it was enacted that no person should be registered unless he was rated for the premises he occupied. (Before Mr. CHAPMAN.) Mr. Smith Henry Bigg claimed to have the privilege of voting in consequence of h o ldi ng a seat i n t h e Si x Cl er k s ' Office, in Lincoln's In n . Th e claim was objected to on the ground of insufficient qualifi ca ti on . Mr. CuArmAN inquired if the notice of the insufficiency of the qualification was given b e f ore A ugus t 25. The overseer said no notice was gik en, but the qualifica- 19, 1834 tion was verbally objected to at the time Mr. Bigg made the claim. Mr. Bigg had paid no other rates than a land tax of 3/. or 4/. per annum for the seat in the Six Clerks' Office. Mr. CHAPMAN said that as the overseers had not given the proper notice to Mr. Bigg, they had no right to apply to strike out his name. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, SEPT. 18 John Koops was opposed by Mr. Nicholls (with whom was Mr. Thomas) on the part of Mr. Brenan, as executor of a Mr. Murphy. He was supported by Messrs. Cooke and Woodroffe. The insolvent had formerly been a tailor. He advanced Mr. Murphy 8001., and became a kind of partner. Be fore the death of Mr. Murphy, who was a pawnbroker in St. Mary-Axe, the petitioner had managed his business. He furnished an account to the executor, in which a sum of 2001. was disputed. The insolvent would not quit pos session of the property, and Mr. Brenan commenced pro ceedings in Chancery. At that time he was possessed of considerable property, and contemplated leaving the coun try. A writ of ne e.reat regno was obtained against him in November, and in default of bail he was committed to prison. At the time of his arrest lie sold out of the funds 830/., which he said he had since spent, chiefly among lawyers, and had he had as much more it would have gone. He had a house worth between 2,000/. and 3,000/. at Pop lar. He held it by copyhold, and since his imprisonment he had made a deed of trust in favour of his wife of the property. The deed was executed in March last, while in prison. He said he had now got rid of all his property. His principal creditor was Mr. Brenan. The COURT could not give judgment in the present state of the schedule, and adjourned the case for a new balance-sheet and further evidence. The case, which occupied several hours, was adjourned sine die. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION -HOUSE. Much amusement was yesterday caused by the examina tion of a gentleman who appeared in the habiliments of one of the Society of Friends, but whose carbuncled face indi cated occasional deviations from the line of temperance beyond the limits of which none but what are called black sheep can wander. A little Irish lady charged a young man, named Hart, who she said introduced her husband to females who were not quite so particular as they ought to be, with having not only roughly handled her when she went to expostulate with her worse half, but with having also used his foot in such a manner that she fell plump upon her face. The assault upon the lady was strongly denied by the defendant, who declared that no flesh or blood except his could stand " the rancour of the lady's tongue ;" that she had almost talked her poor husband out of his wits, and was now talking him out of his situation ; and that her jea lousy was such as to supply her with strength not only to conquer upon the defensive or shoot flying, but actually to fight a man, for, as she could hit most conveniently in the " wind," her sharp knuckles were enough to play the deuce. The lady said that her husband had been induced by the defendant and other vulgar persons to desert her for the society of three or four " creatures," whom he treated with roasted pigs and partridges, while she was obliged to con tent herself with dry bread and a bone at home. She put put it to the Lord Mayor's sense of honour whether she was not to resent such conduct. The LORD MAYOR admitted that the feasting was vexa tious to the excluded party, but assured the lady that his experience convinced him, that those who indulged most in that sort of amusement were far from being the most happy. He remembered a city dignitary who in searching about for an appetite one day, was solicited by a beggar. " Please your honour, I'm starving," said the beggar. "Go along, you naked rascal," said the gentleman, " I'd give you a 100/. for your appetite."—(Laughter.) Here the Quaker stood forward, and said, " I'll be upon my affirmation, my Lord, that if they'd make it a little mutual upon both sides there would be no cause for this here werry great jangle."—(Laughter.) The LORD MAYOR—Pray, my friend, have you been at any of these feasts ? The Quaker—Wheneve r I goes any wheres I always puts down my own money, The LORD MAYOR—I don't at all doubt it ; but you have been, I dare say, along with these ladies and gentle men ? The Lady—He has, my Lord. He knows he has. I understand he has come in for a good share of the wild fowl and port wine. The Quaker—Stop, my good lady, don't you speak until your time comes round. It's wery improper to let your tongue for to go. My Lord, you knowed my father well, Now you see I might a dined with my father, and then I would'nt be here ; and I'm wery sorry I came here at all, for I don't see what good it is. —(A laugh.) The Loan MAYOR—But you had a little of the port wine ? Come, you look as if you had ? The Quaker—l never had no port wine upon my—(Laughter)—l mean upon my affirmation. _ The LORD MAYOR—Nor grog ? A little drop I know you must have had ? The Quaker—l never had no grog neither, upon my honour.—(A laugh.) The Lady—Who was the female you took the messages to ? The Quaker —l'm sure I can't say whom she were, but I know I didn't take no wine nor grog neither with her. You see, my Lord, this here young man as is married to this good lady is a werry excellent young man, and he is a decent young man too as ever you had afore you ; and this good lady, no, I can't say nothing against her, but you see, if they was both a leetle more mutual, it wouldn't dis annul neither on 'em to live happy together, or if not, you know they might go asunder, and he might allow her a matter of five or six shillings a week or so.—(Laughter.) The Lady (with ineffable disdain)—Four or six shillings a week ! What ! and let him be feasting this smuggler and these nasty women ! Never. The Quaker—Smuggler! Am I a smuggler ?—(Great laughter.) The Lady—No, I don't mean you ; I mean the defendant. The Quaker—Upon my affirmation I never smuggled nothing. But this is what I get by coming out of my way for to make parties agreeable. I'm werry sorry I didn't stay at home. As for Mr. Hart, I knowed he went to sea a little, but an't no smuggler, I'm sure. Defendant—Not I. The Quaker—l said so. My.good lady, you lets your tongue go a-galloping when it ought to go a-walkh or for to stand still. The Lady—My Lord, you see how degrading it is to me that my husband should leave me to associate with such illiterate wretches as these. Why, they can't speak a word of English.—(A laugh.) The Quaker—What ! Mr. Hart, am I that wretch as she calls me ? Defendant —Not a bit of it.—(Laughter.) The Quaker—Then I say it's horrid and abominable, and let me tell you it's werry improper too, for to say such a thing, my good lady.—(Great laughter.) The LORD MAYOR said that although a person might expect to see the gentleman who had acted as intercessor in a very singular apparel, that which he wore was not exactly the dress suited to his peculiar accomplishments and quali fications. It was, however, evident that his intentions were good. As for the lady, she had to blame her tongue for her chagrin ; and as for the defendant, he must enter into his own recognizances to keep the peace. BO W-STREET. Yesterday John Brown, John Rade and William Davies, were charged before Mr. HALLS with having kept a private still for manufacturing spirits at No. 203, High Holborn. The defendants had nothing to say, and were fined 301., and, in default, committed for three months to hard labour at the House of Correction. WORSHIP- STREET. DUEL PREVENTED.—Yesterday Mr. IL Charrington, a gentleman residing at Hornsey, was brought before Mr. TWYFORD, the presiding Magistrate, by an officer of this establishment, charged with exciting -- Marshall, Esq., also a resident at Hornsey, to commit a breach of the peace by fighting a duel. The defendant, who was prepared with bail, entered into he required security, and then left the office, threatening ,o adopt other measures against Mr. Marshall. MARLBORO UGH- STREET. William Hill, a middle-aged man, was yesterday brought up, charged with violently assaulting a police constable named Pratt. Mr. CHAMBERS fined the defendant 41., or, in default, two months' hard labour in the House of Correction. Q UEEN- S QUARE. ROBBERY AT THE STATE PAPER OFFICE.--Yesterday Patrick Manning, a labourer at his Majesty's State Paper Office in St. James's Park, and Mark Manning, his son, a boy only nine years of age, were brought before Mr. WHITE for final examination, charged with st ea li ng a copper chim ney from the State Paper Office. On last Wednesday week the prisoner Mark Manning was stopped by the police in Scotland-yard, carrying a cop per chimney. On being questioned the boy said that his father gave it him to carry home. This not being satisfac tory, he was brought to the office, when he underwent an exnmination, and repeated his story, stating that his father worked at the State Paper-office. Mr. WHITE remanded the prisoner, and directed Mr. Carter, the inspector of the A division, to apprehend the father, in which he succeeded. Evidence was adduced to prove that the copper chimney was taken away from the State Paper Office. Mr. WHITE asked the elder prisoner what he had to say to the charge ? The prisoner found the copper chimney amongst some old rubbish, and did not think it was of any use. Mr. WHITE in very severe terms animadverted on the conduct of the prisoner in teaching his own child to become a thief. • The prisoners were fully committed for trial. A poor man named Keppel attended before Messrs. GREGORIE and WHITE, with Mr. Bowers, one of the o ver- , seers of St. Luke's, Chelsea, to obtain the Magistrates signature to an order made upon the parochial authorities at Guildford for the payment of 1/. 10s. 6d. paid by Mr. Bowers for the support of Keppel and his family, they belonging to the parish of Guildford. Keppel and his family belong to Guildford, but have lately been living in St. Luke's, Chelsea. Being in e xtreme ill health he was unable to work, and applied to the over seers for relief : he was too ill to be passed to his parish, and Mr. Bowers relieved him and got him medical advice. Both him and his family were now able to be passed to their parish, and the expenses he had been at amounted to IL 10s. 6d. MAGISTRATE—What family has the man? Overseer —A wife and two children. Mr., WHITE—And h ow muc h of this sum is for medical advice ? Overseer—Ten shillings. maintenance of the man and his family, which I think m Mr. large sum. You would not allow your own paupers so mat theueh Mr. Bowers said he would not, but he believed th man was ordered some necessaries, such as wine, fo od an d Mr. WHITE—But you should have given the m necessaries instead of money.' ire them Mr. GREGORIE—By the new Act you canno t g money without an order from the p a rochial board. Mr. WHITE—I do not mean to cast the slightest iroP" tation on you, but you would not have given so much if you did not thi n k th a t the parish at Guildford would have to pay it over again. Mr. GREGORIE—We h ave not the power now 0114 e this order up on G u ildf or d.
