SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. We lay before our readers a report of the proceed ings at the dinner given at Edinburgh to Earl Grey, on Monday, down to one o'clock on Tuesday morn ing, when our express left Edinburgh, as the company were on the point of breaking up. The report which appeared in the second edition of a morning contem porary (the Times) only came down to between ten and eleven o'clock, after which period sveeral speeches were delivered, some of which, those of Sir John C. Hobhouse, Mr. E. Ellice, and Mr. Abercrombie for instance, were well received. Before noticing the pro ceedings at Edinburgh, we may observe that the previous meeting of Earl Grey and Lord Brougham, at Oxen ford, completely proves, to use the language of the Ca ledonian Mercury of Monday last, " that there is not the slightest ground for the ill-natured insinuation of the Times, that Lords Grey and Brougham had been dissatisfied with and had been plotting against one another. The contrary is now apparent ; on Sunday in private, and to-day in public, those noble peers met on the most amicable terms." The dinner to Earl Grey was worthy of a grave and reflecting, and at the same time ardent people, which the Scotch con fessedly are. The services rendered by an upright Statesman to the cause of Reform, during a long political life, are acknowledged at the close, of that life in a manner which while it affords a cheering encourage ment to Statesmen who pursue the same elevated course, must at the same time satisfy the most sceptical, that neither force nor fraud can overpower a nation in tensely alive to its rights, and determined to uphold them. " How often have we been told (said Lord Durham in an admirable speech) by our Tory opponents—for you must allow me to use an expression which they are ashamed of, and have therefo-e dropped—how often have we been told by our Tory opponents that the spirit of reform was dying away, that liberal feelings were no longer predominant, and that the day was fast approaching when the people of England would return like repentant sinners to their Tory homes to be re ceived with forgivenness by their Tory masters.—( Cheers and laughter.) Do the proceedings of to-day indicate any such absurd and wanton abandonment of your hardly won and in estimable privileges? ( Cheers. )--No, no ; the gathering of this day—to use a Scottish phrase (cheers)—the gathering of this day, at which are the wisest, the best, .and the most influential persons in Scotland, proves the contrary. We may not have a majority of the Nobility of the country—invitations • were, I understand, sent to them, and, perhaps, if their tickets had not been countermanded at Dunbar, they might have come. (Cheers and laughter, and cries of " Give. it to Lauderdale.")—Much as we may regret their absence, and that of their veteran leader, we must console ourselve9 for it by reflecting that we have here present the Provosts and Magistrates of all the large towns in Scotland. ( Cheers.)-- This tells a different tale from that trumpeted forth by our Tory adversaries ; and my mind is therefore full of happy anticipations for the free and independent, the liberal and patriotic. ( Cheers. )—As it is here, so it would be in every part of the empire, if an occasion were afforded for such a display.—( Cheers.) " ' Viewed as an exhibition of the moral force of a nation, the gathering of the Scotch Reformers, too much importance cannot be attached to the dinner to Earl Grey at Edinburgh. The speech of Earl Grey was worthy of his reputation. His ,allusion to the oc casion when the honour was paid to him was pecu liarly happy : " This most gratifying of all honours is not paid to a Minister 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 expectation to others of official benefits, not yet conferred—( Hear)—no, gentlemen this proud mark of distinction has been given to a Minister who has descended, I will not say has fallen, from power— ( Loud cheers)—whose official life has ended, whose long Par liamentary career is hastening to a final close.---( General cries of " No, no.")—to one whom the balance has been struck between his promises and his performances—to one where the past is before his country for its judgment, and the future, as far as he is concerned, presents no object either for hope or for fear." The Tories and the Reformers naturally enough view the Reform Bill in different lights, and with re ference to different ends. The Reformers view it as a • means by - which all the institutions of the state may be perfected, all abuses may in time be remedied, all impediments to the happiness and prosperity of the nation removed. The Tories, on the other hand, viewing the Reform Bill as an obstacle in the way of their great object, the making the resources of the many the prey of the few, labour not only to prevent the improvements which ought to follow it, but gra dually to render the House of Commons less and less a representative of the property and intelligence of the country, by the application of the arts of. corruption, and by having recourse to intimidation. The House of Lords, they conceive, will enable them to. prevent the improvements in our institutions and the remedy of abuses, for the sake of which reform was desired by the people ; and as this, they suppose, will deaden the hopes of benefit from the Reform Bill, their task of regaining power under it will, they think, be thereby facilitated. Meetings like that of Monday certainly go to prove that their task will not be a light one. Earl Grey observed, with reference to the advent of this millenium so ardently desired by the Tories— of the restoration of that happy state of things when. corruption flourished, and when liberty was oppressed—that if they were to look at any part of the country, and take any meeting, great or small, as a sample, they will find no symptons that any rational man will regard as proof of a reaction in the public mind. That point of reaction, may, we trust, be con sidered as disposed of for a time. The millennium of the Tories may be safely classed with the millenium of the Rev. Mr. Irving. The point which now agitates Reformers is the manner in which effect ought to be given to the Reform Bill. This is a question of more difficulty than that of the possibility of Tory reaction. And here the differences among Reformers displayed themselves at the Edinburgh dinner. Earl Grey is a thoroughly honest man ; but he evidently confounds two things, caution and deliberation in measures of Re form, that we may not be mistaken in the means by which we look for advantage—and hesitating to ad nance because there are obstructions in the way, which must be removed before any progress can be made. " In no part of the kingdom was that support, which enabled me to carry that great work through, more effectually or cordially given than in Scotland, and in no part of Scotland was there greater firmness, zeal, and moderation, more beneficially and usefully exerted, than in the city in which we are now assembled. —( Loud cheers.) Proceeding on the same principles as those on which Parliamentary Reform was founded, namely—the principles of strengthening and preserving the settled insti tutions of the State,—proceeding, I say, upon those princi ples, we shall have the power of effecting such further im provements as the necessities of the times may render expedient, and in doing that I am sure that I need not say to such a meeting as this that we should care fully abstain from pressing any extreme or violent changes._ (Loud cheers.) I have the assurance that we shall not do so, from the response made by you to the expression of that senti ment—(Cheers)—and from everything I have seen and heard in my progress to attend an invitation sent in so flattering a manner to me to meet you here this day—throughout that progress I have found, here and everywhere else I have passed through in Scotland, not only a zealous attachment to the cause of liberty, but also a firm attachment to the true princi ples of our mixed government." Nothing should be done rashly—disorder should be cautiously guarded against. But if one branch of the Legislature, having interests directly at variance with those of the nation, have the power to neutralise the action of the other branch which reflects the nation, and chuses to exercise that power—for Earl Grey him self admitted that his opponents had at command a large majority, and obstinately refused to listen to the spirit of the age—ought not this master-evil to be grappled with, that necessary improvements may be made with caution and safety ? If we wish the peo ple to be cautious and to be impressed with the para mount importance of guarding against disorder, the best means of securing that object is to remove out of the way whatever tends to foment the angry passions. The stream, if suffered to fl ow on without -impediment, exhibits a smooth and equable current ; but let its course be impeded by obstacles, and it bursts its bounds; and its progress is marked by devastation. The action of the constitution cannot be considered safe while the Lords are at variance with the nation. The people have, it is true, power in their own hands to compel a change ; but the power must be exercised before the change can take place. When the obstacles to the regular action of the Legislature are removed, the ma chine may be safely confided in. No man, when he hears the creaking of his carriage -wheels supposes there is any wisdom in proceeding farther without ap: plying the means to enable the vehicle to be moved with ease. The Lord Chancellor took nearly the. same line of argument with Earl Grey. This last statesman, however, has seldom, except when hard pressed, al luded pointedly to the circumstances which render the House of Lords hostile to the nation. But the Lord z - clia-liopor has on many occasions endeavoured to /'' =- - ,s*vz, 4. • if) 7 7 ' ,-4 . 5 ,, :. a P\ v., ' 9/ ,C.; -__''./.:A_ 1 4, ' I"'L. , ' *4- ' n / I ,~~~, 1 ~~~;,~~ draw aside the veil that we may see the Lords as they are. He enumerated at the meeting the various bene ficial measures which had been safely conducted through Parliament since the passing_of the Reform Bill, and so far refuted the accusation that the Re formed Parliament had done little for the improvement of the country. But he drew at the same time a pic ture of the Tories calculated to chase from our minds the idea that beneficial measures are the necessary fruits of the Parliament as now constituted : " Though they (the Tories) are not unfriendly to improve ment, the improvement which they would accomplish is so far off, that neither their eyes, nor the eyes of their children, can ever hope to see it. Reform, indeed, is always on their lips ; but, as was once said at a meeting in this town their verb " Reform" assumes a shape unknown to the gram marians, for it is an imperfect verb which has only got a future tense.--( Cheers and laughter.) They say that all things ought to be done gradually and slowly ; and to make sure of it, they move in such a way and at such a pace that even the minutest eye cannot discern that they change place at all: (Laughter.) There is one kind of movement, however, which they do not dislike any how. They are ready to move into mischief, and to advance—backwards—( A laugh.) * 'w Languap of the most frightful and, I may say, the most in credible kind, has been used by those who call themselves the friends of order, the haters of anarchy, the abhorrers of change, and who cry out revolution when any Bill is introduced into Parliament to correct any abuse, however flagrant, and how ever generally recognised. These men, who seem so anxious to testify their abhorrence of change, their hatred of anarchy, and their love of order, only testAing their lust of power and pelf—that power and that pelf which this faction has already lost in Ireland, and which its brethren in England will not be satisfied until they have made a blood-thirsty attempt to regain —( Cheers)—the power they mean is the power of misgovern ing the King's subjects for their own profit."—( Cheers. ) Now that faction, harbouring these blood-thirsty views, is the majority of Peers which threw out the Irish Tithe Bill, in order to produce disturbances in Ireland 'which might in time involve England also in strife. Yet a House of Lords of this character—for the majority determines the character of the body, and no man would think of taking the character of the House of Commons from the Tory minority—at one time described as invincibly ignorant, at another as longing to shed innocent blood—is declared by his Lordship notwithstanding (though perhaps he means a properly modified House of Lords, in which case we may not object to his views) a necessary correction of the Lower House, and indispensable to the due work ing of the Constitution. -Alluding to those Re formers' "who would travel to the object which they have in view, but are in such a hurry to get at the goal tbree marches before him, that they will not wait to see whether the linch-pin is in the wheel—who would hurry their vessel into the wished-for harbour by the nearest and nob by the regularly-frequented channel, without inquiry whether there is a compass on board," Lord Brougham observed that all their care was about the look and appearance of the edifice they would build, and it was possible that some fine morning it might tumble about their ears. Lord Durham, conceiving these thrusts made at himself, made the following impressive answer : " Now I frankly confess that I am one of those persons who see with regret every hour which passes over the exist ence of recognized and unreformed abuses.--(lmmense cheering.) I am, however, perfectly willing to accept the cor rection of them as deliberately as our rulers, and my Noble Friend among them, can wish; but on one condition, and on on one condition alone—that every measure should be pro posed in conformity with those principles for which we all contend.—(Cheers.) I object to the compromise of opinions, not to the deliberation of what they should be.—( Cheers.) I object to the clipping, and paring, and mutilating which must inevitably follow any attempt to conciliate enemies who are not to be conciliated—(cheers)—and who thus obtain.an ad vantage, by pointing out the inconsistencies of which you are guilty in abandoning your friends and your principles, and at tribute the discontent felt on this score to the decay or dearth of liberal principles.—( Cheers.) Against such policy, I, for one, enter my protest, as pregnant with mischief—as creating discontent where enthusiasm would otherwise exist—as ex.: citing vague hopes in the bosoms of our adversaries which can never be realized, and as placing weapons in the hands of those who use them to the destruction of our best interests. —( Cheers.) With this candid explanation, with this free exposition of my principles, which I have never concealed in any position in which I have been placed, I am ready to grant the utmost extent of deliberation to my Noble and 'Learned Friend which he has called for this night, and which,- when given under such conditions, will calm the discontent which has recently prevailed.--(Cheers.)" With all our esteem for Lord Brougham, end feel ing as warmly as can be felt the great value of the ser- vices he has rendered to his country by his indefa tigable exertions to promote all kinds of improvement —and believing that he is as intent as ever (more in tent than any other public man) in fulfilling the task of rendering his country better when he shall leave it than it was when he found it--we have never been blind to the defect pointed out, and that somewhat un sparingly, by Lord Durham. The tiger is not to be coaxed into an abstinence from blood—and powerful as Lord Brougham is in the arts of persuasion, he would as soon persuade "Master Barnardine to come down and be hanged," as persuade the Tories by kind ness and concession to relax in their hostility to the people. We cannot close these observations without noticing the tribute paid by Mr. Abercrombie to Francis Jeffrey, to whose labours Scotland and the empire at large are so much indebted.—Morn. Chron. The great dinner at Edinburgh in honour of Earl Grey, about which all the Whig geese in Great Bri- tain have been making, for the last month or two, a greater noise than sufficed the geese of Rome for the salvation of the Capitol, has at length been eaten, and, at least such is our charitable hope, well digested. It was attended by one, and, so far as we know, only one, remarkable circumstance. The viands were con sumed by the promiscuous assembly of eaters before the hero of the day, his distinguished companions, or even the Chairman had appeared at the table. In the annals of political feasting we do not recollect any si milar occurrence, and we cannot by any means bring ourselves to believe that it was without meaning. The modern Athenians can scarcely be supposed so rude and uncivilised as to be incapable of the ordinary de cencies of the table ; and some of our contemporaries have therefore inferred, we think with some degree of rashness, from this extraordinary precipitation, that the company assembled at the Whig feast were a set com posed of the most voracious, the most vulgar, and the least decent of the inhabitants of Edinburgh. There is plausibility in this reasoning ; but we own it does not entirely satisfy us. The lowest of the low in Scotland, although they might not willingly wait, at dinner time, the arrival of Lord Grey, or Lord Brougham, or Lord Durham, or Lord Rosebery, would not, we believe, unless they had meant some thing by it more than the mere satisfaction of their hunger, have fallen to, as they did, without waiting for grace. There must have been more in the trans action than meets the eye. This premature consump tion of edibles must be typical. We can never believe that the people of the modern Athens would thus have violated all decorum and all decency for the sake merely of ham and fill e ts o f vea l an d sirloins of beef. The semblance of voracity in this instance must needs have been intended as the vehicle of some moral, or sarcas tic, or complimentary allusion. The knives and forks spoke no doubt a language eloquent, though for a mo ment obscure. The clatterings of the plates were as significant as the mutterings of an oracle. An in terpreter only is wanted to elucidate the mystery, and to extract from the strange proceeding the encomiums or the satire, the admonitions or the rebuke, with which it is unquestionably pregnant. We are bold enough to think that we can unravel the mysterious intima tions which the hasty and irregular devouring of the feast intended to be given to Earl Grey in the northern capital was meant to convey. The good people of Edinburgh might naturally think that nothing could be so complimentary or agreeable to Earl Grey, and the other distinguished Whigs who came to share his honours and illustrate his fame, as that unequivocal manifestation of sympathy which they afforded when they showed their eager, impatient, and insatiable ap petite for the loaves and fishes. When the whole affair is properly considered, it will appear that the good folks of Edinburgh could not have done less than they did, unless they had meant by their conduct to convey a direct rebuke to the distinguished Whigs at the cross table, and that they really practised the duty of hospitality in the most delicate and refined degree that can possibly be imagined, by leaving their eminent guests nothing to eat. We can easily ima gine the satisfaction and delight with which Earl Grey, Lord Brougham, and the rest of the Whig leaders, while they were waiting in an anti-chamber the moment of their grand entree, heard of the pro ceedings at that moment going on in the dinner-room. It was the best practical proof that could have been offered them that the society in which they were about to mix was of a temper and disposition entirely con genial with their own. It was a delightful demonstra tion that the orgies to be celebrated forthwith would not be profaned by the presence of any Tory inter lopers. A more lively prefiguration could not have been devised of the rapturous applause with which Earl Grey, Mr. Edward Ellice, and the rest were to be fed in default of a dinner. As applied to the majority of the distinguished guests the compliment thus paid may be pronounced as perfect as it is possible for anything to be in this world. There would have been still more zest about the thing, no doubt, had Lord Plunket and some half dozen of his Irish Hannibals been present. And the allegorical representation of Whiggery in office might perhaps have borne a higher finish had some dozen or two of hungry Scotchmen privately withdrawn from the general and open table a few couples of poultry or game for their private enjoyment behind a screen. We can scarcely believe that this latter very obvious ar rangement escaped the acute persons who seem to have managed the allegorical part of the affair, since the parallel conduct of Lord Durham in relation to the emoluments of the Privy Seal must still be fresh in their recollection. In relation to this part of the proceed ings, there is probably some imperfection in the report. With respect to the speeches delivered after this dinner little need be said. Earl grey, as usual, praised the Reform Bill. Lord Brouham, as usual, praised himself and the King. The assembly ex pected very good speeches, and they were entertained with speeches the best of which did not soar above mediocrity. This was quite right and fair. The good folks at the lower end of the room had illustrated the spirit of Whiggery by the eager avidity with which each man had seized whatever he could lay hold of ; and it was fit and proper that in their turn the gentle men at the upper table should exemplify it still fur ther by inflicting a disappointment upon their fol lowers, and withholding that mental feast the expectation of which had drawn the assembly together. The leaders, especially Lord Grey and Lord Brougham, spoke like men fettered by the apprehension that they' could not speak freely without the danger of a collision with each other. Between Lord Brougham and Lord Durham, however, there was a direct collision of sentiment. The Noble and Learned Lord expressed his readiness to go as far on the road of Reform as anybody could desire (com prehending, of course, the overthrow of the Church and other projected changes of the Constitution) ; but he was not willing to go as fast as some Reformers appeared to wish. For this tardiness of temper the amiable Lord Durham undertook to reprove the lag gard Chancellor. He regretted every day that passed leaving any imaginable form unaccomplished. It is something new to hear Lord Brougham thus snubbed by the retired Lord Privy Seal. We recollect the time when Mr. Lambton would as soon have thought of throwing himself down the deepest shaft of his own coalmines as of placing his opinion upon any subject in opposition to that of Henry Brougham. But the case is now quite altered. The Durham coalowner reproves and chastises Lord Chancellor Brougham for his errors, real and supposed, just as if they were equal men, and equally qualified to express an opinion. This little incident may, perhaps, be sufficient to satisfy Lord Brougham how much his unmerited and misused exaltation has really degraded and enfeebled him.— Morning Post. Our readers will be highly gratified by the report, which occupies a large portion of our space, of the magnificent banquet given at Edinburgh, on Monday, to Earl_ Grey. No public triumph which was ever conferred at any period of history on the most cele brated heroes or statesmen, can be considered a prouder testimonial to surpassing merit or pre-emi nent worth, than was this tribute to the illustrious Nobleman to whom it was devoted, and to that great measure of Reform which has for ever stamped and dignified his honourably consistent political life. Our .space so largely occupied to-day will not permit us to indulge in any lengthened commentary ; but we cannot close our present brief remarks without adverting to the adroit and masterly inference which Earl Grey drew from the marked expression of opinion thus col lected from the entire northern division of this great empire, to the effect, that the Tory argument of a re action is utterly without foundation. The reception of Lord Brougham is an equally irresistible argument in reply to his relentless and unfair maligners. His speech will be perused with deep interest, It is eharacterised alternately by that eloquent energy, that happy illustration, and that withering sar casm, which has distinguished the most cele brated of the oratorical efforts of this extra ordinary individual. But it is also characterised by another feature, which is of profounder importance, and which will be hailed with undissembled joy by the whole country, namely—that his Lordship, like his colleague, Mr. P. Thomson, frankly and explicitly scouts the absurd idea of " final measures ;" he for mally declares that he will go forward with the move ment, in other words, with the great march of improve ment ; and that, although he will not allow himself to be dangerously hurried forward by the ultra-Radicals, yet he spurns and ridicules the snail's pace which the Tories would designate as an advance, and rejects with scorn the drag-chain which they would permanently impose on the wheels of the nation's progress, in every straightforward road of social, moral, and political re form.—Morning Advertiser. Lord Grey has nobly earned his honours—honoUrs which are deposited where they will lose none of their brightness—in a nation's gratitude.. His fame lives and will long live in the hearts of Englishmen. His monument •is based on the rights of his countrymen. No statesman ever withdrew from power leaving such a general sentiment of reverence behind 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 that it will be long before they . meet so fair a foe. The chivalry of the political world seems indeed to end with Lord Grey. He could be stern, but he was never unsparing ; 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 unwor thy 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 picque 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. In the acknow ledgment of the honours paid him at Edinburgh 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 enter tainers 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 ex cellent King, that they gave him so honourable a reception, 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. Earl Grey did not say, you confer on me these honours merely because you see in me one who has presided in the King's councils, and enjoyed his favour' and confidence ; but in effect he said, you con fer on me these honours, because you see in me the re presentative of the principle of reformation. He makes himself the symbol of his cause. He says, you honour me because you love the cause, and with the cause so dear to the people he binds up the praise of the Sovereign. He deals in none of the lip-homage loyalty which signi&s nothing, because it says so much. He does not talk of our King as any courtier would talk of any King, worst or best alike, but he speaks of King William as an honest subject may be proud to speak of him. Lord Grey turns his popular honours as he has turned his powers to the public cause. He saw in the assembly before him, not a crowd come to gaze at a man who had been the most distinguished servant of a deservedly popular Monarch, but a mighty living testimony refuting the idle asser tion that .a reaction in the opinion of the country has taken place, and that the tide is ebbing to Toryism, and leaving dry the great channels in which reforma- tion had floated onwards. We reprint the passage with the introductory rebuke to the fanatics of faction, the fire-brands of Conservatism : " We have lived in extraordinary times, we have accom plished that which will secure the just rights of the people, but in the accomplishment of that great work strong passions were on all sides excited, which could not be expected all at once to subside. On the one hand the impatience of abuse inspired many with too heedless a desire to efreet greater and more ex tensive changes than necessity required, and perhaps to push even salutary reform with a dangerous precipitation. On the other hand, there were those with whom power long possessed, now lost or curtailed, had left feelings of bitterness behind, producing opposition to the most generally expressed wishes of the people. I trust that the passions which have been excited on both sides will speedily subside, and I rejoice in the hope to see those feelings, succeeded on the one hand by the good sense of the people, controlling excesses or violence, and on the other hand, a necessary, though perhaps a late, con viction as to the necessity of inquiring into, and ultimately as to the necessity of correcting, such abuses as the wants of the age, and the increased intelligence of the times, require to be removed. That is a hope that I will cherish, notwithstanding many things that have passed of late—notwithstanding the frantic declarations that we have recently heard made, not only on the other side of the Irish Channel, but even in this country, from men who would drive us to a destructive and fatal conflict--from men `who know not what they do,' — from men who do not see that even a temporary success on their part (a thing that would be utterly impossible) would not fail to entail consequences ultimately fatal both to themselves and to the Constitution. On what hope is this desperate courage, if courage it can be called, founded? lam told that a reaction has taken place. It is pretended by those persons that a change is at hand ; and indeed many of them will tell you that such a change has already taken place in the public opinion, that those who had engaged in the cause of Reform see reason now to repent their error, that they have renounced their former opinions, and that they are ready to regret those reforms which have already occurred. Reaction !' Vain and deluded men ! In what, let me ask, is it that they see symptoms of such a state of things? Is it in the approbation which has followed me, and which has been so generally extended to me by my countrymen since my re tirement 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 it to be found, lastly, in the meet ing 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 re form ? No, gentlemen, of the good sense and modera tion 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 peace able 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 reaction' of the advent of that millennium so ard en tl y desired by them—of the restoration of that happy state of things when corruption flourished, and when liberty was oppressed—of a reaction of that nature lam 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 reaction in the public mind." The'Chancellor s 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 be aiming at the ludicrous effect of that eternal story of, " His Most Gracious Majesty," told by the Lady Margaret Bellenden of Tillytudlem, in Scott's romance. Like bad farce writers, the Chancellor raises a laugh by the mere repetition of the same phrases. Lord Grey not having touched on the causes of his resignation, and Lord Brougham's presence must have sealed his lips, the Chancellor had nothing to say on that subject ; but in his catalogue of the things he had not done, running thus, " I have deserted no friend, I have abandoned no principle, I have done no job, &c.,” is not included the assertion, I have ousted no colleague. The rest of his speech was the mixture as before, with the exception of the prussic acid for us, and some abatement of the warmth. It is clear that the learned Lord was under check, and felt that the antics which could be played before the burgesses of Inverness, and the good folks of Aberdeen and Dundee, would have another reception in the company assembled at Edinbuigh in honour of Earl Grey. Thus we can report better behaviour. There was, however, the boast as before, of what had been done, and the apology, as before, for what had not been done ; and the elaborate illustration of the undenied truism, that folks " can't eat their cake and have their cake to eat ;" and the lecture about deliberation, as if any human being had charged the miscarriages of the Ministry to deliberation. The various changes in the Irish Tithes Bill, ending, after various mutations, with the thump ing boon to the landlords, were not imputed to delibera tions. Mr. Littleton's communication with O'Connell was not condemned as an act of deliberation. The Dis senters' Marriage Bill was not supposed to be a fault of deliberation. The Church Rates' Bill was not spurned as a result of deliberation. Deliberation is not idling for eleven hours, and making a blunder of haste in the twelfth. Delay is not deliberation. The Chancellor has made the notable discovery that delay is good in appeal cases ; but we suppose he does, not give it the name of deliberation, or, if he does, Magna Charta does not, for it expressly provides against the delay of justice. The last thing to be traced, indeed, in the measures of the past session is deliberation. Everything except the Poor Bill, which was anxiously hatched by those whom it was to victual, had the ap pearance of having been thrust off to the last hour, and then huddled together and bundled into the House in any shape that could be given to it. If there was deliberation in the Cabinet, it was the deliberation of th e profound sages of Laputa. Lord Durham excel lently , remarked on that part of Lord Brougham's speech which is a convenient apology for trimming, or for doing the smallest possible good in the greatest possible time. We think that the Chancellor must have looked rather foolish under the able and spirited reply : " My Noble and Learned Friend. (Lord Brougham) has been pleased to give some advice, which I have no doubt he deems very sound, to some classes of persons—l know none such —who evince too strong a desire to get rid of ancient abuses, and fretful impatience in awaiting the remedies of then'. Now I frankly confess that lam one of those persons who see with regret every hour which passes over the exist ence of recognized and unreformed abuses. I am, however, perfectly willing to accept the correction of them as delibe rately as our rulers, and my Noble Friend among them can wish, but on one condition, and on one condition alone—that every measure should be proposed in conformity with those principles for which we all contend. I object to the compro mise of opinions, not to the deliberation of what they should b raw e fei se which mh oobjectare eo t vt o i tt ao t b h bl e ye fccololi conciliated; l n i a g at , ne yda;nadtatneparing,dmp who htoo thus ah n un d scil bauttt obtain a ne t n i ng aeng. advantage, by pointing out the inconsistencies of which you are guilty in abandoning your friends and your prin ciples, and attribute the discontent felt on this score to the decay or dearth of liberal principles. Against such policy, I, for one, enter my protest, as pregnant with mischief—as creat ing discontent where enthusiasm would otherwise exist—as exciting vague hopes in the bosoms of our adversaries which can never be realized, and as placing weapons in the hands of those who use them to the destruction of our best interests. With this candid explanation, with this free exposition of my principles, which I have never concealed in any position in which I have been placed, I am ready to grant the utmost extent of deliberation to my noble and learned friend which he has called for this night, and which, when given under such conditions, will calm the discontent which has recently pre vailed." We must not omit to observe that there was one thing besides those we have instanced which the Chancellor took care not to repeat in the presence of Lord Grey and his son-in-law, and that is the opinion that too much rather than too little had been done in the last two sessions.—Times.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. A Jewess complained to the LORD MAYOR that the parish officers of Aldgate refused to continue an out-of-door allowance to assist in the support of her child, who was two years and four months old, and herself. The parish officers were willing to take the child into the workhouse, but the mother was well able to work for her livelihood, and the Committee were of opinion that she ought to be taught that there was an obligation of the kind upon her. . The LORD MAYOR,---The child, is too young to be se parated from the mother. Surely there is no clause in the benevolent Poor Law Act authorising such separation ? The parish officers said that there were many cases in the parish at which children of an earlier age were separated from their mothers. The fact was, in many instances children were taken away from their mothers, by virtue of the rule of separation, because the children were sure to be better treated in the workhouse than at their own homes. The LORD MAYOR. —There may be here and there an instance of such depravity in a mother, but it is nonsense to talk of numerous cases. Even the influence of gin is not great enough to produce many testimonies of such abandonment in mothers. Parish Officers—W e had a child left with us a little while ago who was not a fortnight old. The probability is we shall never get rid of it. The LORD MAYOR. —Not a doubt of it. You will now have many cases of the kind. For God's sake show some humanity. Parish Officer.—We expect nothing less. We shall recommend this case to the Committee at your Lordship's desire. Another Jewess, who has three children, complained that the parish of Aldgate refused to continue to her the sum of three shillings per week, which, with her exertions out of doors, would enable her to maintain her family. The officers had offered to take her family into the house. The LORD MAYOR could never believe that the magni ficent Act meant any thing of the ki n d. Applicant—l don't ask for any more than three shillings a week, for I am able to support myself ; and with that al lowance I shall be able to keep oat of the workhouse alto gether. The parish officers were ready to take in the woman and her children, but objected to the out-door allowance. The LORD MAYOR.--There must be wrong construc tions put upon the Act. Mr. Hobler said that the Commissioners had written to the parochial authorities to proceed economically on the old plan until regulations should be sent down by the Board. The officers expressed their willingness to adopt the sug gestions of the Lord Mayor, who advised them, for the sake of economy as well as humanity, to continue the allowance. A woman, who stared that she had paid rent and taxes in the parish for many years, and had five children to sup port, also complained that the authorities refused to give her relief except in the workhouse. As she was a Jewess, she and her children were under certain regulations with respect to their diet, and in a workhouse they could not obey such regulations. The officers undertook to recommend this case also to the Committee. The Loan MAYOR expressed a hope that the regulations and explanations would shortly come down from the Board of Commissioners, and that they w ou ld b e sat i sfactory. He trusted, for the sake of the multitudes who were interested in the many important questions comprehended in the Act, that the Magistrates would be enabled to see their way clearly. Mary Anne Stokes, a woman who is called the east-end Lady Barrynzore, and has distinguished herself much by cracking windows as well as heads, was brought up, charged with having smashed a guinea's worth of glass in a trades man's shop. _ _ • _ _ Mrs. Stokes amused herself with throwing onions in Leadenhall-street at the windows of those persons who did not wish to receive visits from her. At last she pitched an onion through a window, and, very much to the annoyance of the lady who was serving in the shop, the vegetable not only uncapped but unwigged her. Thee effect was rather odd ; for, as wigs never fit well except the head is well shaved, the wearer took care that art should be as close as possible to nature, and when the curls disappeared the head presented as fine a specimen of the skill of the person who shaved her as ever sprung from the hand of the scientific barber called Barbarossa. The LORD MAYOR—Pray, Mrs. Stokes, do you remem ber how often you have been here ? Mrs. Stokes —That's quite impossible, my Lord : and I am sure I can't tell how often I may be here again. The Lord only knows that. The LORD MAYOR (to the officer)--Was she much in toxicated P—Constable—She was, please your Lordship ; I never seed herself more so. We was obligated to drive her up to the Compter in a truck.—Committed. GUILDHALL. Yesterday Mr. Clarke, of Farringdon-street attended be fore SIR JOHN KEY to answer the complaint of Samuel Rolls, for unlawfully refusing to pay him the sum of four pence, part of the sum justly due to him for the hire of the hackney-carriage No. 1,340, from Farringdon-street to Re gent-circus on the 14th inst. Six JOHN dismissed the complaint as frivolous and vexa• lons. Mr. Bolton was brought up for re-examination, charged by the parochial officers of Cripplegate with neglecting to maintain his family, he being able wholly to do so. Mr. Alderman COPELAND said that at the previous hearing the parish officers had claimed 21/. for the mainte nance of his two children for two years, and his answer was that if his wife was produced he could show he was not liable. He wisheld to know if the wife was now present. She came forward, leading two children, a girl ten years old and a boy seven years old, whom the Alderman directed to be taken out of hearing, as their mother's chastity was to be impugned. Mr. Alderman COPELAND asked the wife if it was true that she was living with a Mr. Langford ?—She said it was, but she had been deserted by her husband, and left with her children in the greatest destitution. Mr. Symonds (from the Vestry Clerk's Office) put in the record of the prisoner's conviction as an incorrigible rogue for not supporting his family, when he suffered six months' imprisonment. Mr. Alderman COPELAND said this was a serious case, as the parish officers avowedly prosecuted the prisoner with the view of getting him transported for incurring this debt, an extreme punishment indeed for such an offence. The clerk said the parish officers were mistaken about that matter. Mr. Symonds said there was no mistake at all, for one man at Leeds and another at Bristol had actually been transported for neglecting to support their families. Mr. Alderman COPELAND had never heard of such pro ceedings. The clerk was sure that the extreme punishment for the offence was one year's imprisonment, with a public flogging. Mr. Alderman COPELAND said it was unbecoming in the parish officers to call so pertinaciously and vindictively for the punishment of the man, when an offer was made to re lieve them from all further charges as to the children, and to pay 71. off the debt. M. Symonds said if that waehis feeling he would report the proceedings to the -Select Vestry, who had instructed him to press for a committal, eq . ' see if they would retract. The prisoner was, therefore, again remanded. BO W- STAME T. Yesterday a young man of good address, named Charles Stevens, was brought before Sir FREDERICK ROE, by Twigg, a police constable, No 116, F division, charged with having been an extensive utterer of base coin. The prisoner said nothing, and was fully committed fo r trial. MAR YLEB ONE. John Baxter, a man of respectable appearance, carrying on an extensive business as a locksmith and bellhanger, at No. 10, Sale-street, Paddington, was yesterday placed at the bar before the sitting Magistrate, Mr. RAWLINSON, charged with stealing a quantity of table-linen, &c., the pro perty of John Mayo, Esq., No. 31, Connaught -terrace, Edgware-road. Eliza Appleby, housemaid in the service of the prosecu tor, deposed that on the 2d of this month the prisoner was employed in repairing some bells in her master's house. About five o'clock in the afternoon witness went up stairs, when in passing her mistress's bedroom she saw the prisoner turning over the things in the bottom drawer of a chest of drawers ; she immediately went down stairs and told a painter who was at work on the premises of the circum stance, and he advised her to go up stairs again and watch the prisoner's motions. She accordingly said she would, but on arriving at the top of the landing the prisoner came out of the room, and attempted to pass, but she stopped him, saying, " What have you been doing at mis tress's drawers ?" He replied, " Nothing." Seeing, how ever, something bulge out his coat, which was buttoned, she undid it, when she took a tablecloth from beneath his waistcoat, and from his pockets two caps, two nap kins, and two pieces of lace, a n d a l so two silk handkerchiefs, which she found hid between his shirt and skin on the chest. While searching him he did not offer the least resistance, but having taken every thing from him he put one of his cards into her hand, telling her that if she would not say any thing about it to her master, and would call upon him, he would make her a present of u five-pound note. He then ran down stairs, and she felt so overcome that she could not follow him. On her master's return home she told him what had happened, and he then applied at this Office for a warrant to apprehend the prisoner. The prisoner must have picked the locks, as they were fastened, and her mistress had the keys. A man, dressed like a mechanic, here stepped forward and said he had a few words to say about the prisoner. He stated that his name was Robert Delacy, and that. abot.it seven years ago he and the prisoner were journeymen the employ of Messrs. Wedd, Wallis, and Day, iron mongers, of Oxford -street, and were engaged in hanging bells at the premises of Lord Bagot, Great Cumberland street, when witness often observed the prisoner at drawers and places where he had no business, and on one occasion saw him pocket a pair of pumps with silver buckles. He after that refused to work where the prisoner was, and on being asked by his employers the reason he told them, upon which they discharged the prisoner from their service. The prisoner had also, while employed at the house of Lord Saltoun, Great Cumberland -street, robbed one of the fe male servants of some money, and she afterwards proved to be with child by him. He had since that been com mitted to prison fo r ro bbi ng M essrs . Ad am s and Morris, of Westminster-road, of materials with which he was en trusted .to furnish a house in the country. The prisoner, who did not seem at all s urprised at the last witness's statement, b u t s till p ers i s t e d in being innocent of the charge, was fully com m itt e d to Newgate for trial. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. AN IRISH Row.—Morris Laky,,,a shock-headed Pat lander, charged Pat r i c k Ry an , principal master-mixer to his Majesty's builders, with having "kilt" him on Tuesday last with a carving knife. doing The complainant early on Tuesday morning was nothing "at all at all, barring takinc , the laste drink of Po teen wid his own cousin, Harry Lahy," when the defendant, "in the fit of an ould grudge," came softly behind him, "riz up his fist, and hit him such a blessed whack wid !t, that his sensibility was k noc k e d dame out of him." 1 „ pure self-defence, accor di ng t o th e co mplainant's story, lie riz up th e l as t e bit o f a pav i ng s t one , not bigger than u Dennis 11/Pearty's double fist," and returned Morris's com pliment by a blow on his head, which knocked him on t he " broad of his back."
