,SPIRIT / OP l Ttip t FV.l3l t lc JOURNALS. • One - of the ; most 9-rpnrtent and pressing oubjects of solicitude in the pretseni state of 'the' icoUntry" has been that of corporationregetii. "The most active spring of election-bribery anti villanlr eVeiir vetere ,ii . ,known to be the corporation setiteue, • The members of corporations throughout England. are for thi.moet. part self-elected, and wholly irresponsible but tutbemselvee atone. They have contrived by a dexterous series of manoeuvres to oust the town inhabitants, for whose benefit the charters were originally granted, of all right of succession, elec tion,, and control. They have abused for base p ur p oses the patronage which they usurped, and confiscated to; their own benefit the. funds of which they were lawfully but trustees. There is scarcely an instance of; any town sending representatives to Parliament where ! the Mayor, Aldermen, &c., have sot regularly t seized upon, or . clutched at, the nomination of thel Members; and if induced to it by opposition, where they have not without ,scruple mortgaged the town's estate, or wasted the capital, to find means for the most iniquitous and barefaced corruption of voters. The fact is, that Parliamentary reform, if it were not to in-' elude corporation reform likewise, would have been Ii teratly a dead letter except in so far as the county repre sentation be concerned. With regard to cities, towns, &c., the mayors, aldermen, common-councilmen, bur- i genes, freemen, &c., by whatever denomination the con-1 stituency of these chartered hogsties might be known,t were but so many component atoms of one great mass of political baseness and pollution. It was time to look after, such things, and a Parliamentary Committee was ap pointed not long ago to inquire into the state of the ron.! nicipat corporations. The report of the Committee wa4 published in yesterday's Times, and although it results practically in nothing more than a recommendation to substitute a Royal commission for a Committee of the House of Commons, as a more effective instrument of a searching and complete inquiry, some of the remarks which precede or accompany the above suggestion are of conside sable worth.Thejurisdiction of municipal bodies is described to be defective or.excessive, from causes hinted at by the Committee. Self-election, or the choice of the many by the few, is in pointed language condemned, as productive of exclusiveness, factious discord, secrecy, distrust, at hi tary power, and its consequences—irresponsible fraud and peculation. Most of the corporations, from the licensed mystery of their proceedings, are therefore over the ears in debt. The judicial administration under these bodies answers but imperfectly the ends of justice, from the unsuitable choice of local judges, and the irregular and indiscreet manner in which jurymen are summoned. The exclusive privileges of freemen in respect of toile, dues, &c., secures to them a monopoly unfair and injuri ous as against the inhabitants at large, in the arrange ments of commerce, and in the ordinary affairs of life. Members of the elective body ought surely not to enjoy, as such, any other advantages than that of the franchise it self over the rest of their countrymen. The Corporation of Dublin, as a sectarian tyranny, and that of Belfast, as a perfectly useless incumbrance, are condemned by the Committee—the first to death, the last to a thorough purgation. Popular election of officers, and full publicity of proceedings, are strongly recommended by the report, as necessary principles in any plan of corporate reform which may be established by Parliament. Much of the efficacy and usefulness of the inquiry about to he proceeded in must depend, of course, upon the upright and judicious choice of the parties by whom it is to be conducted. They ought to be gentlemen not merely acquainted with the principles and working of the present system, but ansieus to develop, expose, and rectify them. A correspondent suggests that, to avoid the least suspicion of lukewat trITIe9S towards the cause, or of unfairness towards the ceuntry, the conduct of the Royal commissioners should he inva riably open to the observation of the whole world, and that, as an essential precaution, they should avoid all ac ceptance of civilities from corporations, or even inhabi tants of the places which they may be called upon to exa mine. Certainly we should be disappointed it the com missioners were to invalidate their reports by any contra vention of " the Treating Act." The people will look with anxiety to the issue of this great endeavour at cot po rate and local reform, without which every other must be an empty name.— Times. The Whig journals have been for some time past de precating the union which they say has taken place be tween the Tories and the Radicals. The Whig journals have treated the subject as if the Tories and Radicals had entered into a treaty offensive and defensive—as if they had each compromised certain points in their respective political creeds, in order to amalgamate their peculiar tenets into one system which both could support—in short, as if they had formed kjunetion of sentiment and prin ciple, instead of a mere junction of convenience for a particular purpose—the expulsion of the Whigs from office. This statement of the case enables them to call the union of the two extreme parties unnatural, and to give it a number of hard names, which saves a greet deal of trouble in the way of argument. But every body knows how the fact stands after all. They know that the Tories and Radicals have compromised nothing,though they have suspended their immediate hostilities, in order to turn their force against a common enemy. Such is the nature of their present union, if union it can be called ; and, being such, it is idle to charge either of them with inconsistency merely because they happen both to be of opinion that the Whigs would benefit the country much more by going out of office than by remaining in it. Now without giving any opinion upon this delicate question our selves, we claim for the parties alluded to, and fir all other p arties, the right of agreeing as to the pro riety of removing any set of Ministers, and still Iteepng their own opinions upon other subjects as distinct es befois. If any such compromise had taken place as the Whigs assume, the present Ministry could not stand half an hour, As it is, they are completely at the mercy of the Tories, who can turn them out whenever they please, and who have already, on the question of Portugal (an injudicious selection we allow), served them with notice to quit. That the Ministry exist by the mere tole oeence of the Tories is obvious. The Tories have them art the toils. How long they will play the part of Gri nalkin, and sport with the mouse which cannot escape their claws, time must determine; but the probable issue pf their gambols is plain enough. It is vain for Ministers to pretend that they have not lost ground with the public in the affair of the assessed taxes, which we mention be f-ause we are per.uaded that it has done more than any single question to deprive them of public support. Other questions might adtnit of doubt, or difficulty, or mystifica tion, hut the scandalous impartiality of the assessment is a question of figures, and there is no mystery in honest Cocker. If Ministers would hold office upon more cre ditable terms than they can flatter themselves they do at present, they must endeavour to win back a portion of the opinion which they have sacrificed by their own folly. If, on the contrary, they are satisfied to hold office upon the present terms, they must not be surprised to find that ? parties who differ on all other subjects agree in opposing r thei:r continuance in power under circumstances so un fayoprable to its beneficial exercise.—Morning Herald. The proa.P.edings of the House of Lords list night are well deserving of attention. Though it was understood on the late discussion that the Local Courts Bill should go into # Committee, Lord Eldon, on the question for the House resolving itself into a Committee, moved, as an amendment, that the Bill be committed on that day six . pshriths. The speech with which the Noble and Learned !Aid introduced his amendment was quite characteristic. It is swell a speech as might have been delivered by a sage of the lave in Turkey fifty years ago. " If (said his Lordship) there was one thing of more importance than another, it was that the habits and opinions of the people, as to the laws and their administration, should not be elistorbed. This measure tended to disturb there must ,essentially, and was, therefore, pregnant with danger." Then came an appeal to their Lordships' fears. " It (said }fie) their Lordships chose to piss this Bill, let them do it; hot they would then, indeed, stand some-chance of shor tening that existence which was now, in certain quar ters, threatened." Wl.y should there be a Legisla ture, if we are not to have such alterations and im provements in our laws as are called for by the wants pf the people and the spirit of the age ? The Bill has, hitherto, been opposed on the most narrow and illiberal grounds. The whole people of England must, forsooth, be dragged to London for every little dispute they may have, because, forsooth, the London Judges are more skilful than country Judges can he ; and by withdrawing business from London, the bar of Lon don might be less respectable than at present. The in convenience and unnecessary expense to which suitors are exposed, by having trials conducted at London or at the assizes, go for nothing. The experience of every country in Europe also goes for nothing with Iris Lord ship. He attached much importance to the hostility of the bar to the change. " It was well known to their Lordships (said the Noble and Learned Lord) that the Bill had been submitted to the Judges and to the princi pal members of the profession, and their opinion was ad verse to it. This he mentioned with the less knowing that the House would not be unwilling to give the profession that full credit which their conduct always entitled them to, for aiding any alteration in the law that tended to its improvement." This reference to the profession of the bar, and its peculiar disinterestedness on all occasions, drew some excellent remarks !rem the Lord Chancellor. " He (the Lord Chancellor) egged to inform the Noble and Learned Lord, that he was as sincerely and warmly attached. to the-profession of the law as any other ' man; but he maintained, nevertheless, that the members of that profession, living and flourishing upon the existing system, were very naturally, and he would even add pro perly, opposed to any change. He did not blame them for it; but they could not help being influenced by their interests. If he commended them thus far, it did not, however, follow that he should yield to them. They throve upon the abuses of the law, and made the suitors their prey ; the system compelled it ; so that suitors were not in fact so much the prey of practitioners as of the abuses. From them he appealed to calm, dispas. sionate, disinterested men, and be hoped that their Lord ships would show their regard for the interests of the public, and their disregard for the interests of mere lawyers." If the waterman of the Thames had had their will, no bridge would ever have been thrown across the Thames. The watermen at Gravesend, who have thrown down the new pier, act in the spirit of all trades and professions, where the interest of the trade and the interest of the public are at issue. We would fear lessly challenge the judgment of any man of plain, sound understanding, unbiassed by real or supposed interest, as to gain to the public from the having justice brought home to their doors. The man who doubts that this would be an advantage to the people, would doubt the proposition that two and two are equal to four. We have no doubt that the arguments of the opponents of this Bill will be looked back to with astonishment after the Bill has been carried into execution a few years. Nut that anything in Lord Eldon, in particular, ought to ex cite astonishment ; for he has opposed all changes either in the civil or criminal law of the country. When the criminal law of the country was held in abhorrence by all Europe, and Sir Samuel Rotnilly endeavoured to de prive it of its ferocious and sanguinary character, Lord Eldon was its warm panegyrist. He will die as he has . , lived, the enemy of all improvement. On a division the numbers were 52 to SS, a majority of 14 in favour of going into Committee now. The Duke of Wellington, Lord Rosalyn, Lord Camden, Lord Harrowby, Lord Had dington, and about twenty other of the Tories, to whom the passing events of the last week had read a lesson of discretion, went away before the division, and graciously allowed the Government for once to have a majority in the House of Peers. The Duke of Cumberland, Lord Eldon, Lord Lyndhurst, Lord Wynford, and the more obtuse Tories insisted upon a division. We scarcely know what to think of this split in the party. We fear it augurs no good ; and some of the more eager observers of the proceedings of their Lordships rather look upon the whole as a farce, and as a certain indication of their intention to throw the Ministers off their guard, to render their ultimate defeat more eel tain. Certainly things are in a moat unsatisfactory state ; and much as we desire, and much as we are disposed, to overlook faults in the Government, which are not less obvious to ourselves than to the public, for the sake of peace, during this Ses sion, we scarcely trust the ground we tread upon, and must be prepared for a convulsion on the first fit of caprice which may unite the divided party in this division. What took place after their Lordships were in Committee was by no means calculated to create confidence in their Lords ships. After a good deal of sparring between Lord Lynd hurst and the Lord Chancellor, to which the clause de claring that the Registrars, as the Judges of these Courts, should not be removeable except upon the Addr,lsses of both Houses of Parliament, Lord Lyndhurst having ob served that it was understood the Bill b,fore the House was introduced by Lord Brougham in his individual capa city, and that he was therefore warranted in saying that his opposition to the measure was not to be considered as an opposition to his Majesty's Government, the Lord Chancellor sai i, that " he was now enabled to announce that it was a Government measure; and since that fact was thus made known to his Noble and Learned Friend, he took it for granted that it would have the effect of putting an end to all his opposition." The following significant dialogue then took place : " Lord Lyndhurst remarked, that if it had been that night looked upon as a party question, the result would have been altogether different. He had consulted with other Noble Lords upon the subject, and the decision they had come to was, not to vote against the Bill; he repeated, that if they had thought otherwise, the result would have been very different. "The Lord Chancellor—That is to say, there would have been a majority against the Government on this occasion. " Lord Lyndhurst—To make it a party question it must have been supported by his Majesty's Government on the one side, and opposed by a concerted opposition on the other. Now that, he contended, had not been the case with respect to the present measure. "The Lord Chancellor—These discussions tend very much to raise or rather to sustain the high character which this House maintains out of doors.—(Vehement cheers from the Treasury Benches.) I, at all events, have the satisfaction of remembering that I never treated this House with disrespect, and that no remarks of mine have had the tendency of pro moting the recent declarations that we have heard." _ _ Certainly there is not much humility in this avowal of Lord Lyndhurst. We will spare you to-day, but we may be of a different mind to.morrow. We can always beat you when we please. You are entirely at our mercy. The King's Government exists by our sufferance. How long is the country to be insulted by these declarations, that there exists a body in the country that has no sym pathies with the nation ?—Morning Chronicle. PARTY POLITICS. Why does not Lord Grey resign ? It is his duty to re sign. The counsels for which he is responsible are not his counsels. lie deems a creation of Peers necessary to the harmony of the Legislature and the welfare of the country ; he requires a creation of Peers, and the King refuses a creation. Yet Lord Grey allows himself to remain re sponsible for counsels which he sloes not direct, for coun sels contrary to those he recommends, for counsels incom patible with his administration, and which in his judgment must tend to the most perilous pasture of affairs. With satisfaction the Tories see him cling to office; nothing at the present moment would so confound them as his retire ment. They bide their time. They would rather handle red-hot iron than some of the pending measures; they could neither carry nor drop them. They wait the dis posal of these questions. They wait till the Minister has put the House in order more convenient for their recep tion. While employed in this work he is at mercy—on sufferance. He is permitted to settle matters which would emharrass successors, and that is the extent of his license ; for all else he is helpless. He is Minister during pleasure of his enemies ; be is Minister for the convenience of his rivals ; he is Minister to a King who places no confidence in his counsels ; he is responsible for the very resolution which negatives his own advice ; he is responsible for the Tory advice which sways the King's conduct! Miserahle Minister ! The Lords can vote him out at any moment ; and knowing this, they are in no hurry. The pear, as Napo leon used to say, is not ripe. While he stays in, anti tem porizes, and truckles, the discontent and disgust of the people are increasing. But mark the infatuation : every pause of the triumphant faction is taken for the abandon ment of hostilities. Animosities are buried when the sappers are charging the mine ! The Chronicle of Friday observed—" The tone of the Conservatives, as may be seen by their organs, the Tory Journals, is much altered ; and we understand that conci liation has taken the place of bold defiance." " Bold defiance" is not in the game. The finesse of the Tories is now to conceal their strength ; they have ail the Court cards in their hands; too forward a game would not answer the purpose; the Earl must play up to them if they lie by. How idle to reckon on conciliation ? What is the quarrel ? what is the hone of contention ? is it a thing of the fancy or a thing of the claws? a point of honour, or a wrestle for booty ? If the fist, conciliation may be the mood ; if the second, nothing but the satisfaction of the maw will appease. The Tories cannot endure to sit with their pickers and stealers unemployed before them, while the fingers of the Whigs are unctions with the fat of the land. The Whigs are sitting down to the substance of the people. The Tories would not retrench a dish from the table, but never will they rest till they have got the seats. The Whigs see them watching the proper opportunity, and take their patience for resignation. They think the Tories will wait abstemiously behind their chairs, and sympathize with their taste for dainties, and love their gluttonies. Egre gious dupes ! The soul of the Tories, all the desires of their hearts, all their affections are in the feast, and never can they pardon those who have supplanted them at the board. Yet the Ministry will truckle, and cringe, and yield, and lose the people, and gain nothing but contempt, and be deceived and undone. That the rories will out manoeuvre the Whigs we have not a doubt, but we think they have miscalculated the after consequences. They will be an overmatch for the Ministry, hut they will not be an overmatch for the country. They reckon on coming in, not upon their own merits (they are not so blinded as to count upon them), but upon the demerits of the Whip. The co:lapse of dis appointed expectations is the moment they think favour able; when any hope of the better management of public affairs may seem all vanity and vexation of spirit ; and should the spirit of the people yet rally and rise against their support and revival of old abuses, they think to quench it in blood, and to grind the country with the edge of the sword. The last ptu fence of the Tories is exercised in the preEent manoeuvre, not to pree;pitate the downfall of the Whigs. After this, should they obtain power, they are prepared for alldesperate extremities.-- Examiner. RENEWAL OF THE BANK CHARTER. MEETING of the COUNTRY BANKERS. (Concluded from The Sun of yesterday.) Several other gentlemen addressed the meeting, and the proceedings lasted until nearly five o'clock. It was suggested that a society, to be called the "Country Bankers' Association," should be formed, the members of which (or as many as could conveniently attend) should dine in London once a year, but for the present that pro position was postponed for fnrtber consideration. A vote of 1001. was passed in favour of Mr. Burgess, the Secretary, for the zeal and ability displayed by him in writing a pamphlet respecting the Banking system, and it was ordered to be referred to the Committee to consider what further remuneration should be granted to th it gen tleman whose assiduity and great knowledge of the subject were universally admitted. The meeting then adjourned. ERRATUM.-In Mr. FORSTER'S speech yesterday at the meeting of Bankers, said that many of the country bankers were not so " passive," with respect to making bank notes a legal tender, which was misprinted " positive." VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, JUNE 24. ANDREWS V. BEAUCHAMP- In this case it will be recollected the Vice-Chancellor di rected an issue to try the relationship of the plaintiff to a person named Humphrey Jennings. This morning The ATTORNEY-GENERAL applied, on behalf of the de fendant, that the trial of this issue might be stayed till the hearing of the appeal which had been brought from that decision. Mr. KNIGHT, on behalf of the plaintiff, objected to the delay, on the ground of the advanced age of some of the witnesses. The VICE-CHANCELLOR thought the trial of the issue should be suspended till after the hearing of the appeal, and ordered accordingly. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JUNE 24. DOWDING V. HENDERSON. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a book.. seller in Newaate.street, against the defendant, a stationer in the Old Bailey, to recover compensation for a breach of contract. It app ared that the defendant agreed to sell to the plaintiff fifty copies of a work called " Kelly's Cambist," at 10s. 6d. each, twenty-five of which were subsequently delivered and inspected by the author, Dr. Kelly, and found to he imperfect ; they were consequently returned, and the present action was brought to recover compensa tion for the breach of contract. Mr. Ju,tice ALDERsow .ummed up the evidence, and the Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 131. 29. 6d. ♦CEBAL V. LEVY AND ANOTHER. This was an action brought to recover from the defendants, fruit-merchants, the value and freight of 1,000 barrels of nuts, which were consigned to them by the plaintiff in Spain. It appeared that one of the defendants came to Mr. M'Andrew, the agent of the plaintiff, and told him "that he depended upon him getting him his supply of nuts," whereupon M'An drew wrote to the plaintiff in Spain, and the nuts were shipped ; but when they arrived in England the defendants would not have anything to do with them, and they were afterwards sold to other persons. Sergeants JONES and STEVENS for the defendants, urged several objections, and contended that there was no evidence to show that M'Andrew was the authorized agent of the de fendants ; and that, as the goods had afterwards been sold, the plaintiff could not recover. Mr. Justice ALDERSON, being of opinion that some of the objections urged on behalf of the defendants were valid, the plaintiff was nonsuited. ARCHES' COURT, JUNE 21. SWIFT V. SWIFT. The arguments in this case were continued during the whole of to-day. Dr. LUSHINCTON wa: - . heard at great length in opposi sition to the validity of the marriage. He contended that, from all the evidence, it was clear that a conspiracy, in which the authorities and the high officers of the Holy Church of Rome, excepting the Pope, had parti cipated, had been clearly proved. He wished he could press lightly on the occasion ; but when it was considered how important the ultimate decision of this question was, not only to the parties but to the public, he felt that he did no more than his duty to the young lady to speak his opi nions freely. If the Court should decide that this lady should return to Mr. Swift, to conjugal rights, the condition of Miss Kelly would be miserable in the extreme. He, how ever, confidently expected that the Court would not con sider this marriage to be valid. The Le,irned Advocate then went over different parts of the evidence, to show, first, that Miss Kelly was nut cognizant of a fact of mar riage; that such a marriage had never been consum mated ; and that if a fact of marriage bad taken place it was invalid, in consequence of the conditions demanded by the Pope not being observed. The evidence of con summation was wholly disproved; it rested on the evi dence of De Seltee alone, the brother-in-law of Mr. Swift. He felt the greatest anxiety for the young lady in the cause. Mr. PHILLIMORE replied. His Learned Friends had not ventured to explain any documentary evidence. They had not said one word relative to the lady describing her self to Mr. Swift, in which she said, " Don't attempt the balcony ; mother is fretting, and vary cross with votre petite epouse." Here was the admission of the lady her self ; and when the Court coupled that with the letter in which he (Dr. Min - Imre) alleged she expressed her fears that she was enceinte, it could leave no doubt in the minds of the Court not only that she was not cognizant of the marriage, but that it had been consummated. Dr. DODSON also shortly replied. Sir JOHN NICHOLL said the case was so important that he should take time to consider his judgment. As the question had been raised as to the validity of the mar riage, he considered, if the Court pronounced against the prayer, it would be null and void. The KING'S ADVOCATE expressed his opinion that would be the case. HORTICULTURE.—A Horticultural Society has been formed in the Isle of Wight, a climate particu larly fit for trying valuable experiments in the culture of exotics, and preparing them for naturalization throughout the country.—Literary Gazette. LAUNCH OF THE RODNEY, OF 92 GUNS, AT PEMBROKE Dom—The anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo was never more conspicuously brought to the remembrance of the inhabitants of Wales, and Pembroke shire in particular, since the first announcement of that tremendous event, than on the occasion of the launch of the longest and finest two-decked ship ever built for the protection of the inhabitants of our iron girt is!e. On approaching the water from Milford, the scene where this grand occurrence was to take place, the first object that presented itself most conspicuously to view was the Royal Standard of England floating high in air in the dockyard, and the display of similar badges from the mast heads of tho Royal Sovereign yacht and Pantaloon brig, which were almost superbly decorated with all the signal flags in use, and the colours of various nations, surrounded by the Bulwarks of our nation,—the Royal William, of 120 guns, completely jury rigged for sea—the Belleisle, of '74 guns, the Hannibal, 74,—and the Dragon, 80, shored up on the eastern side of the dockyard, fitted as a marine barrack, and others of less force, though not less useful in their united efforts of upholding the Royal Standard of England. On ranging along the dockyard, that magnifi cent ship the Rodney was observed ready for launching, held in her cradles by a mere rope-yarn; further on, the Porch, a beautiful frigate of 48 guns, all ready for any service its country might require, as well as several mighty ships in progress of building. At length the perio l for launching the Rodney arrived, and precisely at 35 minutes past five in the evening a gun from the fort announced that the signal for " all's ready" had been displayed in the yard. Every eye was immediately faxed in the direction from whence the ship for the first time was to enter on her na tive element, into which she soon slowly and majestically glided, amidst the thundering shouts . of th ous and s of most respectable spectators, and the bring of cannon from the shipping. Her run after taking the wat er was not near so rapid as that of the Royal W i lliam ; her anchor was, therefore, sooner let go, and she was brought up much more easily, and presented her beautiful broadside to the shore; in which position she was not suffered long to re main, for the end of her cable was run out of hawse, and she was almost immediately warped into dock, to be cop pered and fitted for sea. Tice ceremony of christening was performed by Mrs. General Adams (the lady of Lieut. General Alexandtr Adams, of Holyland, near Pembroke, This ship is built on * Robert S e ppi ngs , a nd is athe eraorurnedl -stern n of l) i E n a e r p l C t: a o w f d s o i r r ) of extraordinary dimensions, her length being 243,-i- feet, breadth 52 feet 2 inches, tonnage 2,598 ton- , , with great height between decks for working her, and pierced fur 92 guns, which are all to be 32-pounders. " Her single broadside," says our Milford correspondent, " would pour at once into an enemy's ship the immense weight of fourteen hundred and seventy pounds of shot! What a dose of pills for the enemies of Great Britain ! There is no three-decked ship of any nation that would be able to lay alongside of her for any length of time and stand such physicing."--Catabrian. O.P. Q.'S ADDRESS TO THE PEERS OF GREAT BRITAIN. Paris, June 18,1833. My Lords—We have long said in France, that the day will arrive when the purse-proud and inso lent portion of the Peers of Great Britain will arrive out of breath at Calais, Dieppe, and Havre, with their silver spoons and silver forks in their great-coat pockets, and with a little gold and silver money which they scrambled together in an hour, and with which they set off to the Continent, thankful for having saved their lives from popular indignation, and from popular fury. We have long said, end we are more than ever convinced that we were right, that the Tory portion of your Lordships' House would venture a battle with the Commons, and a battle with the Whigs, and would succeed in rousing the British lion to rage and fury. On a former occasion, my Lords, when your Lordships disgraced yourselves by an opposition to a Bill for the reform of admitted abuses in Parliament, I put it to your Lordships whether you would think it expedient to risk the burning of your castles, the examination of your title-deeds, the division of your property by the social revolution party, and your being turned adrift upon the world to gain, as you would be unable to do, your bread and your beer by hard labour, and to say, " I was a peer—but lam a pauper." My appeal was heard, your Lordships took the hint, the Re form Bill passed, and you were prudent enough to imitate the language of Horace's Miser, and say— " Populus me sibilat, at mihi plaudo Ipse domi, ,imulac nummos contemplor in arca." Your Lordships did perfectly right, acted wisely and prudently, and as you gradually or suddenly bent your ways to your old castles and country seats, I confess I thought you much wiser men than I had taken you to be, and wished you the enjoy ment for life of your horses, your billiard-tables, your fish-ponds, your partridges and pheasants, foxes and deer, and much happiness in private so ciety, and in the less public spheres of your existence. But it appears, my Lords, if we may place confi dence in the reports which reach us in so many ways from England, and especially from London, that your Lordships have got wearied of your coun try seats, have become tired of excellent claret and port some twenty years in bottle, that you are anxious to shoot men instead of foxes! This is a lamentable thing for you, my Lords, for, believe me, if your Lordships take to politics, they will be your un doing; if you venture on attempting to shiver a lance for what you absurdly call the " Constitution," you will be mortally wounded ; and mark my words, some of you old Tory Peers, who might live and die so happy at Lumber Castle and Strathfieldsay, will fly to France with your silver spoons and silver forks in your great coat pockets, and with a little ready money in silver and gold, just scrambled to gether whilst the populace were advancing from the county-town to your respective aristocratical resi dences. And remember, my Lords, that when your ready money shall be spent, and your silver forks and spoons shall be pawned or sold—you must live upon charity, or take to working; and you surely do not forget that Louis Philip, who is now King of the French, was once compelled to give lessons in mathematics in order to get bread and meat against the hour of dinner. And yet those were times when Kings and Nobles were thought much better of than they areat present; and when Edmund Burke was cheered as he attacked the French revo lution. But now a-days the times are greatly changed. If you arrive in France without money, I assure you you will obtain no credit—no subscrip tion will be made for you—no door but the door of the hotel if you pay, or the prison if you do not, will be open to you—the French Chambers will not vote you a sum even in the light of British political refugees, but you will die of want, or be compelled to labour at so much per day, and per chance sell watch-chains on the Paris Boulevards to gain honest but wretched livelihoods. I present the matter thus strongly to your Lordships' minds, because it is just as certain, as that the Tory por tion of your Lordships are blockheads, that if you persevere in your determination of enraging the people—of counteracting their wishes—of denying their just demands, and of slighting their sympathies, and of contradicting their hopes, your Lordships will be voted "a nuisance," the people will discover, " that a Senate" will do just as well as the House of Lords, and you will be driven from society as well as from place and power, and escape to the Continent in the man ner aforesaid, in order to screen your persons from popular indignation and popular violence. And have the goodness to recollect, my Lords, that you have wives and children you will have the right to, and who will reproach you. The" poodle dog" will be sold to buy shoes—the" jewels and the watches" to purchase shifts and petticoats—the little move able property scraped together in an hour will not produce enough money to maintain your wives and children for a year—and when " house is gone and money is spent," you will have but little " learn. ing" to stand in their stead. If, then, you may be disposed to do something amounting to an act of madness and desperation for the purpose of obtain ing place, power, and office, for yourselves and your friends, remember the Lord Johns" and the " Lady Jenny's" of your families. You know, my Lords, that your eldest son, " Lord Harry," does not write well enough to gain half-a-guinea a week as a lawyer's clerk; and your youngest son, " Lord Thomas," can scarcely count two and two, so that, though he understands horses, he would not do for a stable-keeper's book-keeper. And as to poor "Lady Jane," why what will she do without the " black foot boy;" and how will " Lady Marga ret" be able to turn housemaid, when she can scarcely condescend to touch a moss rose lest it should soil her fingers! ! I pray you then, my Lords, to think a little of those ignorant and unfortunate beings called " THE YOUNG NOBILITY," and if you have not pity on yourselves, at least have pity upon them 1 _ _ _ And furthermore, my Lords, I will lead you into a secret, which you may as well turn over in your minds before it be too late, and which may, I think, decide some of your votes on the Irish Church Bill. You know then, my Lords, that there is such a thing in England as " the Great Book," and such another thing in the same country as "The National Debt." Now, do you know, my Lords, that if this Great Book were burnt, and this National Debt paid off, or cancelled, England would be the most prosperous and wealthy nation in the known world ? You know, my Lords, tat moderate, temperate, and honest reformers are al ways endeavouring, with M. Pebrer, in his cele brated work, to find out an honest and a just me thod of getting rid of this dead weight on national prosperity and national amelioration. But there is another party at work in England as well as in France, and that is the Social Revolution Party. The Chronicle calla them " thieves;" and to a certain extent the Chronicle is right, though they are not "thieves" in the common accepta tion of the term, as they do not propose robbing for their own advantage. But if you, by your obstinacy, your insolence, and your folly, shall bring about a revolution in England, I will tell you what will then he done. Why, the " Great Book" will he burnt, or another Great Book will be created, and the produce of your elm. leans, of your estates, and of your mines and pro perty, will be applied to the liquidation of this debt, or at least to such a portion of it as does not belong to yourselves or your " Order." Now, I do be seech you to think of having your Three per Cents. cancelled, and your " Consols" pronounced to be waste paper, and of your having no more to sign "powers of attorney" either to receive dividends or transfer stock. Perhaps most of you have never known in your lives what it was to want money, but have only had to draw your checks and your bills, and have them paid to order. But, my Lords, I will tell you of a greater man than any of you, as far as rank and station were concerned, who was obliged to ask the Revolution of July, 1830, to lend him some money, in order to pay his expen6es; and that man was Charles X! ! late King of France ! I And I must also take the liberty to tell you of a Royal youth, even the nephew of your pre sent King, who, as late reigning Prince of Bruns wick, was sent on his travels by his people, and took with him in his trunks and boxes a certain cup, made of precious stones, and some gold and silver, notes and stock, in order to support himself in a foreign country. And I have heard the Duchess d'Angouleme declare some years ago, that many a time during her long banishment from France, was she without a shilling in the world, for weeks, and actually unable to take a postchaise, or buya penny worth of pins, until her next quarter's small allow ance was made to her. I mention these facts to your Lordships, that you may not overlook them, and that you may not deceive yourselves with the vain belief, that your rank or your present fortunes will protect you from future want. Well, then, my Lords, if you insist on provoking the people of Eng land by your ignorance, pride, and conceit, you will risk the sale and confiscation of your own estates — and the loss of all your present funded property, without the charicß of one farthing in the shape of compensation. And I will go a little further than you may, perhaps, expect from one who is a lover of order and of justice, and tell you, that you will merit that confiscation—and will have provoked the ruin which will crush you. And, my Lords, before I terminate my address to you, you must allow me to point a little to the present state of Europe, and to show you that from without you can expect no assistance, and will re ceive no sympathy. I assure you that Europe is on the eve of great revolutions and immense events! Do trot imagine that the Revolution of 1830 is nestroyed, or its principles crushed. In France, the cause of Republicanism is making hourly progress, and your momentary triumph in England would quadruple the number of popular societies, popular journals, and popular active agents in even the short space of a month. In Germany, the middling classes have joined the students, and form together one vast conspiracy against the German Diet, which must be, and will be overthrown. You cannot have failed to observe, my Lords, that the King of Wirtemberg, and the Duke of Baden, have gained nothing by dissolving the Chambers of Deputies of their States —the same men are returned—the same principles are proclaimed— and the Frankfort Diet is there virtually defeated. And do you imagine, my Lords, that the people of Great Britain, and the Electors there, are more venal, and less patriotic, than those in the German States ? I advise you not to pro voke the comparison, for it will be greatly in favour of the British people—and greatly opposed to the interests of your " Order." And then look at Poland ! Do you not perceive that, notwithstand ing she has lost by war, or by a forced emigration, tens of thousands of her sons, yet that enough re main to conspire at Warsaw, whilst others arm in the forests and attack the Russian invading regi ments ? Do not suppose that Poland will settle down as a Russian Department to be governed by foreign and military foes. Look again at Piedmont —Savoy—Switzerland—and Naples. Is not the Piedmontese army conspiring against the King of Sardinia ? Do not the Savoyards demand the reunion of their country to France ? Are not the Swiss engaged in different ways in yet fur ther putting down even the remnant of aristocracy which remained, and which were injuriously at tached to more modern Constitutions ? And have not Neapolitan soldiers been found, only recently, conspiring against the Government ? And then turn to Greece, to Spain, to Rome, to Turkey, and to Portugal ! Are not the Greeks fighting against their Bavarian oppressors Is not Zea Bermudez compelled to convoke together the Spanish Cortes, in order to prevent or retard an explosion ? Is not order preserved in the Papal territory simply because it is occupied by foreign troops—arid are not the subjects of his Holiness resolved on being free ? Is not the great Ottoman empire in a state of dissolu tion—and has not civilization arrived there, even from Egypt ? Is not liberty struggling in Portugal with a Monarch who, in the hour of peril to his throne, is literally afraid to head his own troops, and is wasting his time with little girls and mistresses ? Do not the Crowns of at least half the Monarchs rest lightly on their brows—and may not the breath of popular indignation in the next hour remove them ? I allude to the Kings of Spain and Portu gal, the King of Poland, the King of Hungary, the Pope of Rome, and even Mahmoud, the descendant of the victorious but false prophet. Do you not know, my Lords, that never, during the lives of the oldest of you, was the monarchical principle in Europe in such jeopardy as it is at the present moment—when even the King of Prussia lives in a state of daily apprehension of disorders and de sertion in the Rhenish provinces ? And pray what is there in the state of Belgium to assure you, or of Holland, to inspire you with courage ? The former cannot exist as an independent Monarchy ; and the latter, without Belgium, must return to the Go vernment of a Stadtholder or a Republic. If, then, you take this rapid, but accurate view of the state of Europe, you will perceive that no where is there any sympathy for your principles— that nowhere could you find allies, except at St. Petersburgh and Vienna ; and the former will soon have enough to do in Poland, and the latter will lose ere long her influence in Venetian Lombardy arid Italy. Besides, the interests of Russia are opposed to those of Great Britain, both in the Mediterra nean and iii India—and it is impossible that even British Tories could consent to sacrifice British commerce and British merchants. Well, then, my Lords, do, for God's sake, aban don your prejudices or abandon your Peerage. Do not compel the reformers to avail themselves of the aid of the social revolution party—and do not realize my prediction in your fatal experience by continu ing in a system of persevering opposition to good and national measures, and thus rendering your elopement to the continent with your silver plate and a little ready money, your last and only re source. Allow me to terminate by reminding you, that everything in nature has its limits; and that for this, as well as for other reasons, the patience of the people is not infinite ! _ _ _ I am, my Lords, your obedient servant, 0. P. Q. AN AGED COUPLE.—A correspondent, upon whom we can rely, has sent us the following ac count of an aged couple About ten years ago I had occasion to travel from Machynlleth to Aberystwith on a very cold day in winter. After proceeding some distance, I felt the effects of the weather, and turned into a cottage on the road side, where I found a venerable old man, of tall stature, sitting down by a blazing turf fire, with his aged helpmate, looking nearly as old as himself, busying herself about household affairs. I was greeted with a hearty welcome, and was soon accommodated with a three-legged stool, and desired to warm myself by the fire. In the course of a conversation which followed, I inquired of the old man what his age might be, when he replied, that he bad sojourned longer in this world than the generality of mankind, and most probably had num bered more years than would ever fall to my lot. This did not satisfy me, and I asked again what his age was, when he told me that he was 103 years old, and that his wife would be 102 the following month. They were married when he was 19, and had lived together " for better for worse" during the long space of 84 years. The old man, about a fortnight before, bad walked to Aberys twyth market, anti back again, a distance of fourteen miles going and returning. He told me that he had come from a distant part of England to work at a smelting house in that neighbourhood, but which had been in a heap of ruins for many years, and could be seen close to a bridge on the upper side of the road. Last year I had occasion again to travel the same road, and being de sirous to know the fate of the hospitable old pair, I anx iously looked around me for the old cottage on the road side, but it was gone, and as I truly conjectured, its in habitants also. I inquired in the neighbourhood, and after many fruitless inquiries, I was informed that the old couple had travelled the way of all the earth about eight years ago—the old man having died only about two months before his aged partner. The rest of my jaurn, y was gloomy and sorrowful, and the reflection came ni h full force on my mind—that whatever number of yea:s may be allotted to man, the same fate awaits him at last-- he must die p- Weidman.
