R 4.41 e r r + LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 22, 11134. Lord BROUGHAM has closed his short but brilliant career in the Court of Chancery. He now retires into private life, after having set an example which all futute Judges shall deem it the highest honour to imitate. Justice slept not while the administration thereof was in his hands ; and we have now to announce what never before happened in this country—namely, that his Lordship retires from the Court of Chancery, without leaving a single case unheard and undecided ! Surrounded by hosts of hollow friends and open ene mies—hated by the Oligarchy whom he made bite the dust—detested by the rookery of legal sinecurists whom he put to flight by his wholesome reforms in the law—viewed with aversion by a Court whose prerogatives he had clipped, and hollowness exposed, Lord BROUGHAM bore himself loftily, firmly, and nobly, above all opposition, and in the performance of his highest functions never forgot the meanest claimant on his attention. No Peer ever had so many fierce and furious assailants to combat with as Lord BROUGHAM. In the House of Peers he included in himself all that was objectionable in the Ministry; and whenever a Borough was to be pro tected, or a Church Reform Bill opposed, the happy moment was seized with a kind of demoniac pleasure by all the leading orators among the Tory Peers, for the purpose of spitting their venom at the " Noble and Learned Lord on the Woolsack." The very rabidness with which the Peers attacked him, night after night, is one of the best proofs that can be offered of his immense power, and of the fear and hatred with which they regarded him. The gew-gaws of rank, with which the Peers hoped to bribe him to betray the cause of the people, at the moment he was honoured with their highest advocacy, were too flimsy to blind his judgment—and too insignificant to be prized by him at more than a nation's acknowledgment of his great services in the cause of liberty. The bold, straightforward, unbending course which marked Lord BROUGHAM ' S conduct at the Bar, and in the Commons' House of Parliament, has distinguished his brilliant career in the House of Lords, and in the high Court over which he presided. His ambition was not to appear at the dinner parties of the No bility, and to be found in the saloons of the Aristo cracy, but to serve the people. And he has served them, and they will remember his services. The retirement of Lord BaouGHA M from the Court of Chancery will not, it is to be hoped, lead to his withdrawal from public life. We sincerely trust, in common with every friend to the extension of liberty, and the progress of education in this empire, that Lord BROUGHAM will devote every power of his great and energetic mind to the completion of those reforms which he himself has already commenced. In the House of Peers the Tories will find him more powerful than ever lie was ; for the people are now for him, and lie will rise in the House backed by the whole moral power of the Reformers of the United Kingdom. " What will the DUKE (10 ?" This is the question that every one asks, and no one can answer—not even the DUKE himself, as to particular measures. This, however, is certain—THE DUKE WILL DO ALL THAT IN HIM LIES TO STOP THE PROGRESS AND CHECK THE SPIRIT OF REFORM. This is as sure as if it were confirmed by " proof of holy writ ;" and let the Reformers bear it mind—let them write it on the posts of their houses, and on their gates. To this conclusion every sane man must come, who has watched his career, and is capable of appreciating his character. For no other earthly purpose has he been placed in his present situation, and his ap pointment 'may therefore be looked upon as a declaration of war against the people. The Duke of WELLINGTON is not merely a proud Aristo crat ; he is by nature, as well as by habit, , a despot. Hatred of p opu l ar i nst i tut i ons — contempt f or the , people—and a special disrelish of every thing that tends to elevate and give them power, are feelings by no means peculiar to him ; he has theth in common with the rest of that pestilent faction of which he is the head ; but in most others of the Tory tribe these feel ings arise out of prejudices which may be, in some degree, abated ; in him they are instincts__ part and parcel of his nature, of which he can no more divest himself than he earl cast off his skin. That all men are bound to do as they are bid —to yield an im plicit obedience to the commands of their superiors, is THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1834.

No man is more competent to discharge the duties of Grand Vizier to the Brother of the Sun and Moon ; to the Autocrat of all the RUSS' A.S he would prove an invaluable Prime Minister ; or place him at the head of a well appointed army, and there is no man whom we should so much delight to honour, for there he would be in his proper element ; but the very qualities which so eminently fit him for these employments, and which give such effect to his unrivalled military talents—his arbitrary principles and overbearing temper—the cold, un scrupulous, unsympathizing sternness of his mental constitution, render him totally unfit to sway the des tinies of a free people. Our readers will see, from what we have said, that we leave no desire to undervalue the real merits of the Duke of WELLINGTON. In truth, we have no wish to detract one iota from these merits. We are there fore bound to express our conscientious opinion that consistency is one of his distinguishing characteristics. He has been uniformly uncompromising in his oppo sition to every measure, that had for its object the establishment or the enlargement of the rights of the people. We know of no instance of voluntary aberration from this course. We shall no doubt be reminded of the repeal of the Test Act, and the emancipation of the Catholics. Softly. Against the former of those measures he brought the whole power of the Government to bear, and was defeated by an irresistible majority in the House of Commons. What gratitude do the Dissenters owe him for this ? He would, had he been able, have kept the degrading yoke of bondage on their necks ; but they were too strong for him. And did he emancipate the Catholics from choice ? No ;he denied, to the last, the justice of their claims, and rested his defence of the measure entirely on its necessity. The Duke is a soldier, and he wisely thought it was time to yield, when seven mil lions of men had their hands on the hilts of their swords. And now as to his conduct on the question of Par liamentary Reform. When that question was first mooted, he declared, (and no action of his life, either before or since, has ever led his country to doubt the sincerity of that declaration), that the borougmongering system was the quintessence of perfection—that if he had to form a new Constitution he would take that system as his model. In the spirit of that declaration, and true to his principles, he stre nuously opposed the Reform Bill in every clause and in every stage ; and since it passed into a law he has laboured incessantly, and not always unsuccessfully, to mar its working, and to deprive the people of its benefits. Unless, therefore, we reverse the principles by which human nature has been actuated, and human conduct judged, since the. creation of man, we must believe that the Duke of WELLINGTON will endea vour to stop the progress of Reform. And this is the man in whom the truckling and time-serving satellite 3 of power advise the friends of freedom—the Reformers of Great Britain—to confide I Yes, when the lamb shall confide in the wolf, and the kid shall put his trust in the tender mercies of the leopard, and the lion shall eat straw like the ox, then may an honest Reformer have confidence in the Duke of WELLINGTON. Confidence strikes its roots slowly in the breast of a Reformer. It is now too late in the day to deceive him with promises. His hopes of the future must be founded on his experience of the past, and when he is told to repose confidence in a public man, he asks, not unnaturally, what has he done to deserve it ? That attempts are making to lull suspicion, and to decoy the unwary into acquiescence, is obvious enough ; and that they will continue to be made, we entertain no manner of doubt. The Duke is too able a tactician not to make some specious demonstrations. When the whale begins to flounce, an old tub or two will never be wanting to throw over board, to amuse and keep him in play, until a favour able opportunity occur to fix the deadly harpoon in his heart. That object will be kept steadily in view. A late statesman, the ablest and the most eloquent cham pion of the rotten boroughs, once remarked that if he sacrificed Gatton it would be to save Old Sarum. Such will be the policy of the Duke. If he unscrew on e peg, it will only be for the purpose of screwing another harder up—if he loosen one bolt, it will be but to clench another more firmly. His opera tions hitherto have been conducted with his usual skill, and he has already accomplished an achievement from which his friends augur a suc cessful issue to his labours—he has put a hook into the nose, and a bridle into the lips, of the great Leviathan of Reform, and has turned him back by the way by which he came. But let him not plume him self too much on the assistance of this new ally, who, though his heart is as hard as a piece of the nether mill-stone, and though he make the deep to boil like a pot, yet is formidable only in his own element. Out of that element he has been dragged,.his hideous and disgusting deformity has been exposed to public view, and all his snortings and bellowings, and clumsy ca perings, serve only to excite derision, scorn, and loathing. We understand that Sir JOHN HOBHOUSE was waited on the other day by a deputation of Westmin ster electors, with a request that he would permit himself to be put in nomination for that city, in the event of a dissolution, to which flattering request he made answer—" Westminster has already two re formers for her representatives ; and if I were to inter fere, I should be creating differences and jealousies of which the Tories would instantly avail themselves. I cannot therefore consent to be put in nomination, for I have the interests of reform too strongly at heart, to di minish its chances of efficiency, in order to promote my own personal gratification." Conduct like this is as sensible as it is magnanimous ; and if the rest of the Reformers will only act on Sir JOHN'S principle, of doing his utmost to promote union, the cause of truth and justice may bid defiance to all the assaults of the Duke of WELLINGTON and his hungry subalterns. It is union—and union only— which will now enable the Re formers to carry the day. This is the first—this the second—this the third requisite for ensuring them a full and perfect triumph. We cannot too often im press on their minds the trite, but still valuable, com mon-place, that fraternization is their first and most imperative duty. We direct attention to some spirited resolutions of the electors and people of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Every where our liberal countrymen are now fore-warned and fore-armed. Our accounts, from all parts of the kingdom, show that the Reformers have every where mounted guard against the " OLD SOL DIER"-that the constituencies in the Liberal interest that Union a ga i ns t th e com mon are alive to their . duty— enemy is their watchword, and determination the in scription on the electoral banner. The Duke of WEL- LINGTON has ruined himself by manceuvering. Not having his PEEL artillery on the ground, he dared not " give battle," and the consequence must be a shameful and early:defeat. Twice the Tories have been vanquished by their own cowardice, and quailing before the power of the people ; again they have thrown away the cards, and their last shuffle has been played. We have now no Government. If the " PROVISIONAL ADMI NISTRATION" of the DUKE PROTECTOR can con duct the public affairs of the nation, he has revealed a secret of singular utility. The country will spurn his HURRAYS, HARDINGES, GOULBURNES, CLERKS, CROKERS, ELLENBOROUGHS and ABER DEENS. Such a staff will never suit the political tactics of the People. A public meeting will be held on Monday in Liverpool. Yesterday the Dissenting Deputies of Birmingham assembled and passed the following stirring resolutions : _ _ " That we have heard with feelings which we cannot attempt to describe, of the change which has recently occurred in the King's Councils, and which appear to indicate a purpose to arrest the progress of that Reform on which the nation's heart is fixed ; inas much as the parties who have denounced Reform, and pertinaciously opposed almost every measure for the improvement of the Church and State, will employ this official influence to frustrate the benefi cial effects of those measures. " From the late liberal Administration, in whose behalf our zeal has been cheerfully expended, we had a right to expect the redress of our grievances, but we have been bitterly disappointed, since no effectual effort has been made to relieve us ; and the few measures which were introduced ostensibly to serve us were calculated to mock our hopes and insult our feelings. Notwithstonding we are disposed to think that our disappointment has been creatal by insu perable obstacles arising from inveterate prejudices and implacable enmities which they had to encounter, rather than by any indisposi tion to concede to us the just claims which we preferred. As we have nothing to expect from men who neither understand our principles nor have any sympathy with our best feelings, but have uniformly treated our petitions with contempt, no considera tion whatever shall induce us to lend any portion of our influence to consolidate their power ; but whenever a call may be made, or a dissolution of Parliament shall take place, we will promptly and cor dially blend our energies with those of our fellow countrymen to secure such overwhelming majorities of liberal-minded senators as shall cause oppressors to quail before them, and give freedom, pros perity and happiness to all classes of his Majesty's subjects. (Signed) T. AIORGAN, Chairman. The country will not hear the imposture of Tory pretences. The base coin will not pass current in • these times. Lord LYNDHURST was sworn in at the Council yesterday Lord Chancellor. That he has no great faith in the keeping of his new office, is proved by the fact that he retains the Chief Baronship ! I The Paris Papers of Thursday, which have been received, announce that Prince TALLEYRAND has refused to re-accept the office of Ambassador to the Court of St. James's, which he resigned on the ap pointment of the Duke of BASSANO to the Presidency of the Council. It is rumoured that the Prince begins to feel himself unable longer to conduct the diplomatic policy of France, as the infirmities attendant on old age are fast pressing upon him. Admiral D UPER RE, to whom M. THIERS offered the Marine Department, has also refused to accept of it, so that some of the appoint ments still remain to be filled up. The Bayonne Papers contain no intelligence respecting the state of the war in Spain, beyond mere details of statements already before the public. The Moniteur gives the following telegraphic despatch ; " A telegraphic despatch from Bayonne, dated the 18th instant makes known the fact that a corps of 1,500 volunteer Christinos has been formed at Cerbera, and another of 500 at Rioja. These two corps are already completely armed. A third is forming in the Bastan. Mina, at the head of 7,000 men, has made a reconnoisance as far as Puente de Reyna. On his approach, Zumalacarreguy retired to Santa Croce de Campezo. All acccuuts concur in stating that the Queen's troops show the best disposition, and that the popular feeling is equally favourable. The rebels of Biscay have been attacked at Dima by Dspartero and Iriarte, and dispersed. Thus at every point the Queen's army has assumed the offensive with success." By an ordinance of Wednesday, M. VILLEMA IN, Peer of France was appointed to exercise the office of President of the Council, in the absence of the Minister. M. COUSIN has resumed his functions at the Normal School, at the request of the Minister of Public In struction. The Courrier de Lyons announces the establishment of a discount bank at Lyons, and ten of the principal houses have already agreed to take shares to the amount of 300,000 francs each. Sir F. LAMB has arrived in Paris from Vienna. We have received German Papers of the date of the 11th November, containing the Report of the Pro ceedings of the Diet, at the sitting of the 30th of October last, which has been just published. The Report is important, but we cannot find space for a line of it to-day, in consequenco of the crowded state of our columns with important home intelligence. Extract of a letter from Edinburgh, Wednesday, Nov. 19, 1834: °' Language cannot express the astonishment which the news of the dissolution of the Ministry created here. An address to the King from the Town Council, deploring the dismissal of the Melbourne Ministry, was this morning despatched, to be laid before his Majesty. A numerous meeting was held at Merchant's Hall, at two o'clock, to determine what was best to be done on such an emergency. It was unanimously agreed to summon a public meeting, to be held in the King's Park in the open air, on Friday, the 21st inst. Judging by the deep and general feeling which pervades all classes of Liberals in this town, and by the harmony now existin g among th em , th e ex hibition on on Friday will equal, if not surpass, anything of the kind ever seen in this city, not even excepting that celebrated meeting which took place on the resignation of Earl Grey in 1832." COOL EFFRONTERY. In our Thursday's paper we noticed an article in the Times, in which the writer vindicates the sound discretion exercised by the King in dismissing his late Ministers, on the supposition that Lord Melbourne had stated to his Majesty sundry difficulties in which the Administration was involved, in consequence of Lord Althorp's removal to the House of Lords. Lord Melbourne says that there is not one word of truth in this so called supposition—that he felt no difficulty, and stated no difficulty, and had no in tention of resigning. On this the Times .remarks, after giving the authorised contradiction which appeared in our paper of Thursday— " We are glad to see our statement of yesterday thus confirmed by authority." Is it any wonder that all the respectable portion of the press is crying shame on a Journal that thus insults its readers, and disgraces the press, by its unprincipled defiance of every thing like truth and honesty? The following paragraph is posted up about town:— " Stop him again I Get gold I I" Press of matter still compels us to omit the interest ing report of the Tea Sale till Monday. Circumstances have arisen lately calculated to give considerable uneasiness to those who have advanced money on Scotch mortgages, in which, as is well known, a very large amount of English capital is :invested, and they formed a very current topic of discussion to-day (Friday) in the city. It appears that objections have been recently made to cer tain Scotch deeds, the registry of which was admitted to be correct and complete, but in several of which deeds a word was written on an erasure. This, it is contended, made the deeds void, though the registry of them was 20 years' old, arid gave no notice of such erasures. There have been two arguments before the Scotch courts, with contrary deci sions, but what has occasioned the greatest alarm is that the matter has been referred for another argument before the whole of the Judges, and another case has been or dered to be prepared for argument in the three courts, in which case a somewhat similar objection is made, and an im mense sum of money is involved. Scotch mortgages have hitherto stood in the highest repute, not only for the punctual payment of the interest, but for security of title, owing to the circumstance of a public registry. But it would seem now to be questionable whether the registry can be relied on, though it is hoped that all doubt on the subject will soon be removed in a satisfactory manner.—Morning Paper.

Previous to the Court, Lord Brougham arrived at the pri vate entrance to the Palace, to deliver up the Great Seal. His Majesty held a Privy Council, which was attended by the Duke of - Wellington, Marquis Camden, Earl of Rosslyn, Lords Lyndhurst, Ellenborough, Burghersh, Cowley, and Maryborougk ; Sir Charles Manners Sutton, Sir John Bec kett, Sir Henry Hardinge, Mr. Herries, and Mr. Goulburn. The Hon. William Bathurst was the Clerk of the Council. At the Council Lord Lyndhurst was sworn into office as Lord Chancellor, and received the Great Seal from his Majesty. His Lordship had an audience of the King to kiss hands on his appointment. His Majesty gave audience' to the Duke of Wellington, Marquis Camden, and Sir Charles Manners Sutton. Earl Amherst and the Hon. Captain George Campbell, R. N., were the Lord and Groom in Waiting. There were also present at the Court, the Master of the Robes, the Clerk Marshal, Colonel Fox, and Colonel Kcate, the Field Officer in Waiting. M. de Moraes Sarmento, the Portuguese Minister, had an audience yesterday of her Majesty at the Queen's House. His Excellency was introduced by the Hon. Mr. Ashley, the Queen's Vice- Ckamberlain. The King gave audiences yesterday to the Earl of Albe marle, Viscount Torrington, Lord Hill, Lord Farnborough, and Sir Robert Smirke. In the evening his Majesty had a dinner party. There were present to meet their Majesties, Marquis Camden, Earl Am herst, Earl and Countess Mayo, Lord Hill, Sir Charles Man ners Sutton, Sir James Kempt, Sir John W. Woolmore, Sir Henry and Lady Wheatley, two Misses Wheatley, Sir B. Stephenson, Sir G. Seymour, Hon. Captain George Camp bell, R.N., Colonels Reid and Wood. At the Council on Thursday Parliament was ordered to be further prorogutd to Thursday, the 18th, and not the 19th of December. The Lord Chancellor gave a grand dinner last evening to a large party, at his residence in Hyde Park-terrace. Viscount Melbourne, the Earl of Mulgrave, Lord Denman, and Mr. Spring Rice, dined with Lord Auckland on Thursday evening at his residence in the Admiralty. Lord Brougham joined the party in the course of the night. BANK OF ENGLAND.

RAMSGATE, Nov. 20.—1 t is blowing a gale here from the N. N.E., and all the vessels are driven from the Downs. I am fearful that we shall hear of much mischief among the shipping. The waves are dashing proudly over the magnificent pier. The Ramsgate packet from Calais has just arrived (four o'clock), and brought seven passengers; she beat the Post-office packet, the Ferret, for Dover, by at least a quarter of an hour, and though the passage was very rough, the passengers declared that they had made a better passage than they had anticipated. CORPORATION COMMISSION.---The Corporation Commissioners have investigated the affairs of the Curriers' Company and of the Combmakers. The former Company still exercise considerable influence over the trade, and regu late the rates of wages. The working curriers are represented to be generally a more respectable class of men than other journeymen, as the apprentice fee is very high, sometimes amounting to 450 guineas. The Combmakers' Company is one of the poorest in the city. The Company possess about 9001. in the stocks. They claim jurisdiction over the trade to a distance of twenty miles round London, but it is never exer cised. A great many persons take up their freedom and livery in this Company, in consequence of its costing less than any other. The Court only dine together once a year, and the dinner never costs more than 101. • TWOPE N NY — PosT-oFFICE.—Very extensive ar rangements are making by Sir Francis Freeling in this de partment, which are expected to be completed in a few wee k s . There will be six deliveries daily in town ; three in the envi rons, within ten miles of the General Post-office, and two within a distance of twenty miles. These new regulations will be of the utmost importance to the public, as letters at present sent to a distance of above ten miles are only delivered at the same time as those sent to Brighton, Bristol, or 130 miles from town. AWFUL INSTANCE OF SUDDEN DEATH.-011 Tuesday last, William Wilson, reader at Messrs. Gilbert and Rivington's, St. John's-square, left that office in perfect health, about three o'clock, for his own house, No. 8, Poole-street, New North Road. On arriving there, he ate a hearty dinner, and was observed to be unusually cheerful during the meal. When he had finished, ho proceeded to his garden, followed by one of his children, where he had previously arranged some slight alteration in the form of the ground. He was in the act of using the spade for that purpose, when in a faint voice he desired his child to fetch its mother. This was immediately done ; but when Mrs. Wilson arrived at the spot, she found her husband a corpse ! He had died in a fit of apoplexy ; but so powerful and sudden bad been its effeet, that in one moment life had become extinct. The deceased had been many years in the employment of Mr. Baylis, of Johnson's-court, and Messrs. Cox, of Great Queen-street. In those printing offices he bore an exemplary character. The case of his widow and three children is earnestly recommended to the kind con sideration of the public, and the printing department in par ticular. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC-4 ItNALS.t z His Majesty yesterday held a Pri Tch was attended by the Duke of Welling some other members of the Conservative party ; but we have as yet nothing further to communicate on the subject of the Administration. Were we to attempt to give one-half the rumours so industriously circulated on this subject, we might well exclaim— ., Adeo sunt multa, laquacem Delassare valent Fabium." The Noble Duke is the only Minister who has been sworn into his office, which is that of Home Secre tary. It is understood that this is only to be tem porary, and that, should Sir Robert Peel consent to take the Premiership with the Chancellorship of the Exchequer, the Noble Duke will take the Secre taryship of Foreign Affairs, and the present Speaker of the House of Commons will be Home Secretary. The pi esent Chief Baron, Lord Lyndhurst, takes the Great Seal in Commission, his brother Commissioner being, it is said, Mr. Justice Bosanquet. This, how ever, is only in consequence of the Noble Duke's re solution to make no appointment at present, as it is determined that Lord Lyndhurst will be Chancellor, and it is equally understood that he will be succeeded by Sir James Scarlett as Chief Baron, with a Peerage. That measures of preparation have also been taken with respect to filling up the other offices we know, and some individuals we could name have been sounded as to their capability to obtain a re election or a seat in the House of Commons in the event of their acceptance of office. We mention the above appointments as almost certain ; other offices, of course, have their different persons named for them ; but when, as we have above observed, nothing can be finally settled for the next fortnight, it would be waste of time to mention all such speculations. While, how ever, writing thus calmly on this most important sub ject, we must observe that we cannot conceal from our selves the fact, that the country is looking with no small degree of anxiety for a clear and unequivocal de claration of the principles on which the Noble Duke means to act. That the country has been " astounded and alarmed" to the extent that some of our contem poraries would fain persuade their readers we deny ; but we have no hesitation in asserting that their not hav ing felt the alleged alarm is owing chiefly to a proper confidence in their own strength and power, and also, perhaps, to an unwillingness to believe that the Duke of Wellington--or any of his adherents—can have consented to form a Government with any such insane intention as to put an end to all further reform. For ourselves, we will confess that such in fatuation appears to us to be incredible. And as we have never been amongst the flatterers of the Noble Duke, as we have never told him that his best laurels have been gained as a statesman, we trust, therefore, we shall easily obtain credit for sincerity when we state that we do not yet believe him to be so blind to the course of events as " to lay the flattering unction to his soul," and hope that he can re-assume the reins of Government on anti-reform principles, and with the determination to deny all those necessary reforms which every real friend, both of Church and State, now ad mit should no longer be delayed. His friends and partizans are asserting most strongly, we admit, that the Duke and his party are prepared to effect all judi cious and salutary changes—to relieve the Dissenters from their actual grievances, and to reform the Church, without, at the same time, at all impairing its dignity and usefulness, and by extending to Ireland such system of relief for its destitute poor as will tend more than any other measure to secure that unfortunate country from the hands of unprincipled and selfish de magogues, and, by thoroughly re f orm i ng t h e Ch urc h , Establishment in that country, to put an end to those heart-burnings and disturbances which have now ren dered it one scene of rapine, lawlessness, and murder. If these reports be true—if, we repeat—all may be well ; but we confess we have been startled at hearing of one or two persons being likely to be connected with the Government, whose ultra principles cannot fail to throw a very strong suspicion on the intentions of any Cabinet of which they form a part. Their constant struggles and intrigues against every reform —their equally zealous advocacy of the claims of the oligarchy, which has been the cause of such innumerable evils to this kingdom, and, we might almost add, to the world at large —cannot fail to excite a degree of suspicion in the breast of the country, which scarcely any professions, or even measures, could effectually remove. Till, however, the principles of the new Administration are declared, we cannot but disapprove of the attempts made to excite alarm throughout the country ; till then, we equally condemn the holdings of meetings for the purpose of addressing the Crown on the late step which it has thought fit to take. These latter savour too strongly of an attempt to exert a greater influence over the Crown than is justified by our Constitution, which, thank Heaven is not yet a wild democracy. The liberal and enlightened majority of the nation, we feel convinced, do not at all feel themselves called upon to interfere at present. They have too strong and a well-founded reliance on their own strength, and on the good intentions of their Sove reign. But let it only be once declared that the Noble Duke has again taken office, with the same opinion on reform that caused his instantaneous deposition from power only a few years back, and we have no, hesitation in asserting that his fall now will be as speedy and certain as it was then, and which, if for a time delayed, will probably be only the more dis astrous and destructive to the throne and other valued institutions of the realm. Since writing the above, the following announcement appeared in the Supple ment to the Gazette of last night : " His Majesty in Council was this day pleased to deliver the Great Seal to the Right Honourable John Lord Lynd hurst ; whereupon the oath of Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain was, by his Majesty's comma n d, a d m i n i stere d to hi m, and his Lordship took his place at the Board accordingly." It will be recollected how pompously a Morning Paper declared that no appointment except that of the Duke of Wellington had been made, or even dis cussed, and that none would take place until the arrival of Sir Robert Peel.—Morning Herald. It is amusing to observe the shifts to which the ex-Ministerial papers are put, in order to evade the unanimous verdict of the public, which, notwithstand ing all their petty attempts at agitation, they feel is about to sentence them and their masters to eternal oblivion. We had stated the fact, in which we were afterwards in greater detail corroborated by other journals, that Lord Melbourne had acquainted his Ma jesty that a serious difference of opinion existed in the Cabinet upon the subject of further encroachments on the property of the Church. Now, see how warily, and at the same time how timidly, the Morning Chro nicle (we willingly adopt its authority as the organ of an expiring faction) ventures upon a hesitating con tradiction :—" This, however, we can safely state .... there were no actual (the italics are not ours) differences in the Cabinet, and Lord Melbourne was not aware of any questions respecting which they were disunited ; but who can say what is possible or not possible ?" See how cunningly the Chronicle evades the real question, and hides himself in the mysteries of special pleading. "No actual difference That is to say, no positive declared schism. But will the Chronicle or its prompter venture to deny what we, in the teeth of all their denials, would still continue to assert, that there were questions of the precise kind alluded to above, that were of neeessity_ to be brought before the Melbourne Cabinet previous to the meeting of Parliament, which Lord Melbourne admitted in his conversation with his Majesty to be of a nature to lead to the resignation of Lord Lansdowne and Mr. Rice, and others, in the probable event of these gentlemen being outvoted in the Cabinet by their more Liberal colleagues ? Will the Chronicle and its prompters deny that Lord Melbourne admitted to his Majescy that if, on the other hand, the Ca binet could by any management overpower these attempts of the Radical portion of it, his Lordship could not conceal from the King that, in case the L seine anti-Church projects were broached in the House of Commons by any of the demagogues of the day, the members of the aforesaid Radical section of the Government would vote on a division against their more prudent colleagues in his Majesty's service ? We have worded the foregoing sentences as queries. We • , boldly put them as facts. T rue it i s t h at t h e Govern - I merit, conscious of the inevitable consequence of a de . r.' ~i - ~~ .‘ (
