As, how ever, a few days, perhaps a few hours, may clear u P this doubt, we shall not speculate any further 4t Present, but our impression is decidedly that conduct of Prussia renders war unavoidable. 411 the meantime the French army are on the ' li en, in full march, to chastise the Dutch.

Firl- E to ilo °lle of their body, who is intimately t he fo eeted with the C ons tit u ti o n ne l news p a p er , p "'lna extract from that paper, of which lES. he is editor, may be taken as a Sample of the tone which the Address will assume in regard to Poland : " The war," says the Constitution/id, " undertaken by the King of Holland, is, without doubt, the war of des potism against liberty, against all the principles which have triumphed in the revolutions of July and September; France was then, of all the Powers, the most interested in taking in hand the cause of Belgium. .That in espousing the quarrels of her Ally, she risks the arms against herself of other Powers, secret enemies of her re volution, is what we should not dare to deny; but still it would be more honourable and, perhaps, more sure, for our revolution to have to defend itself against armies than against diplomatic intrigues and an obscure propagandism. As to Poland, what has our pretended neutrality hitherto done for her? Our attitude has prevented Prussia from uniting her armies to those of Russia ; has it prevented her from carrying on against Poland a war the more deadly that it was disguised ? Whatever may be the consequences of the resolution adopted by our Government, they cannot he for France a subject of regret and repentance. Either our army will only have to combat the Dutch army, and victory will not be long doubtful, and the peace of Eu rope, troubled by the King of Holland, will be consoli dated ; or the Dutch army will be only the vanguard of a coalition, and then we shall have to congratulate ourselves nn seeing at length the visage of our enemies ; for what would signify an attack so rule, so destitute of motive, ex cept that hitherto they had deceived us by feigned demon strations of friendship—that they were only looking out for a pretext to declare themselves ; and that they have chosen the most vain and the most unjust. At all events we shall gain by this war the seeing of our young Govern ment strengthened by national opinion, and our paltry dis sentiona will be lost in a comMunity of feeling and of thinking." In fact, it is morally impossible for any Ministry to stand a week in France that does not at once declare for Poland. And how is this to be effected ?—Not by vain regrets—mock sympathy —and contemptible admiration—no ! it must be done by deeds of enterprise and promptitude, fearless of consequences. France must inter pose by arms—and' arms alone, seeing that her remonstrances have been treated with disdain. France must now assist the Poles cost what it may. If Prussia stands in her way, no matter— she must march on and restore Poland to her original rank among nations, free and inde pendent. Without this, France herself is in secure, and without attempting this, no Ministry can stand in the present temper of the French people. We have received the Fiamburg Reporter and other Papers of Friday last, containing news from Warsaw to the 25th of July, at which period nothing decisive had taken place. The Russians were endeavouring to cross the Vis tula at Pulawy, and were furnished with pon toons by Austria from Gallicia ! Will France tolerate this mock-neutrality any longer ? She dare not—now that her army is at length in mo tion ! War is inevitable between Prussia, Austria, Russia, and France, let their representatives hold as many conferences as they please, holding up the torch of hypocrisy to each other in solemn mockery ! The following are extracts : WARSAW, JUL] 25.—1 n the present critical situation of the country it is not to be wondered at that a feverish susceptibility prevails in the public mind here. Our Diet has of late held several sittings with closed doors, and a variety of reports are in circulation respecting the subjects under deliberation. Among other reports, it is said that the measures of the Comtnander-in•Chief have been severely censured, and that a Council of War is to be immediately appointed to inquire into the general state of the country, and to endeavour to ascertain the ex tent of the efforts and sacrifices which the country will be required to make. The Russians were yesterday twenty miles from Warsaw. They are pressing for. ward in two columns, the one by the way of Kow al and Brzesc, the other by Lowicz-k. Our foreposts stand at Lubien ; they are continually engaged with the enemy's cavalry. Wloclawek was taken by the Russians after an obstinate defence made by the armed population. On the 19th, our cavalry had a most obstinate battle with that of the enemy, at Brzeac, which place was taken and retaken several times. .Our troops at length maintained themselves in the town, and spent the night there. The armed population of the country is extremely active, and many individual cases of extraordi nary heroism are daily occurring. The patrolling parties, and other small detachments of the enemy, are continually cut off by our peasantry. The whole force of the Rus sians on the left side of the Vistula cannot he much above twenty thousand men and fifty pieces of artillery. In Gallicia the Russians appear to receive the same as sistance as in Prussia. At Lemberg every necessary ma terial is collecting to enable the Russians to construct a bridge over the upper part of the Vistula. On the 21st about 20,000 persons were at work on the fortifications ; women, children, and old men, shared in the labours of the day. HAMBURG, AUG. 5. Boaseae HALLE, Tins DAY, Fouit O'CLOCK.—The sup ply of Wheat during the week has not been large. In the earlier part some purchases were made for England ; fur ther orders from the same quarter are in the market, but as the holders stand out for high pi ices many orders re main unexecuted. Inferior sa:rples are extremely heavy. Rye is heavy. The arrivals of this year's corn were sufficient to supply the demand of our own consumers, so that little or nothing was taken out of the warehouses. Of Barley the supply has been very limited, and, some purchases being made for exportation, prices are firm, and our stock getting low. From the 23d to the 30th July, 53 cargoes of corn passed through the Sound ; of these, 13 were hound for British, 17 for Dutch, and 16 for Swedish, Danish, and Norwegian ports; one was bound for Bremen, one for Havre, and of five the destination was unknown.

Among them are three reports from the Commander • in-Chief to the National Government. No. 1, dated from the head-quarters, July 17, states that the Generalissimo having gone in person to the corps under General Cluzanowski found that the accounts he had sent were less favourable than the actual success warranted. The number of prisoners was 1,250, and 16 officers, and the enemy's loss in killed and wounded ve r y great. A cannon too was taken. No. 2 relates a successful attack made on the 15th, by order of General Skarzynski on a division of the Kasan regiment of dragoons, posted in a village between %Iran and Ostralenka ; 120 of the Russians were made prisoners, and a great t i tt nifty of baggage, &e. t tken. Their kill& and wounded amounted to three ofh , ers and 54 men, and the rest of the division was dispersed in the woods. The Poles had one man killed, and a few slightly wounded. This is dated from the head-quarters, near the town of Jerusalem. No. 3 gives an account of a plan concerted by the Com mander-in-Chief, Generals Chrzanowski, and Romarino, to surprise a part of the corps of General Rudiger at Siedlee. The Russians, however, got notice of the p 1 n, and re treateo, but were obliged to abandon a quantity of bag. gage, &c., which fell into the hands of General Chrza noWski's corps. The Russians lost 121 soldiers and e physician, and 86 killed and wounded. Lieut.- Colonel Zatnorki, who was sent by General Romarino to attack a part of Rudigey's vanguard in Ki.sk, arrived there on the 19th before day-break, and took 54 dragoons with their horses ; the Russians bad, besides, above 60 killed and wounded. D head-quarters, 20th July. It is said that the Russians in the province of Lublin intend to purchase pontoons in Gallicia to p.m the Vistula, and will probably lay a bridge across it at Pulawy. No thing positive is known of the movements of the Russian army on the left bank of the Vistula, hut it is certain that the enemy's troops are in Brersc, Rat ziejewo, an d Jziliza. General Rybimki has occupied Biala. The re mains of the corps of General Golownin had assembled it, the vicinity of that town. _ The post from Sledlee has again arrived at Warsaw. The Silesian Gazette says : "Private letters from Kalisch of 24th and 25th inst. say. that a Russian corps had advanced as far as Kilo, six (twenty-seven) miles from Kalisch, and had notified to the Polish authorities at Kalisch that their functions would cease. Detachments of Cossacks were already seen about Turek, Kouin, and other places nearest to Kalisch, and the communications between Kalisch and Warsaw were already interrupted." BERLIN, JULY 28.—Accounts from Stallupolmen of the 23d, say that a large body of Cracowites, reported to he under the command of the Insurgent Chief Puschet, had approached the Prussian frontier near the village of Schettkehmen, and begged to be received and protected in Prussia. Detachments of Landwehr have marched to re ceive them. HAMBURG, JULY 31.-In a meeting of the Senate and citizens yesterday, measures were resolved upon after the example of the neighbouring States, to prevent the spread ing of the cholera, if it should reach this city. The Russian post of the 20th July has not arrived. The Warsaw post of the 25th is likewise still due, pro bably owing to the military operations. The President, Czartoryski, had issued a proclamation, calling on the inhabitants for their assistance in fortifying the capital. The appeal was nobly replied to—Priests, children, and women of every rank, were seen next day digging in the trenches. The different Corporations made their appearance, preceded by banners and music. Prince Czirtorvski assisted on the occasion. BORSEN-HALLE, Atio. 2, Fo'sll, r.m.—Discount 3 to 3y, per cent.

(This is, as in many other places, fourteen days after its first appearance). The number of new cases has gradually decreased, and that of recoveries increased. New cases. Recoveries. Deaths. July 10 579 4B :n7 19 314 157 179 In the environs of St. Peter,bur"gh, however, the dis order seems to be ,preading, and in Cronstadt its ravages were very extensive considering the small population of the place. News was received the day before yesterday that several persons had been attacked by it at \Vyborg. For news from Belgium we refer to another part of The Sun. The Dutch have acted in their usual - cruel and cowardly manner, burning and destroying everything. The chief alarm seems to be respecting the danger of Antwerp from the citadel—a bombardment being ap prehended ; but we think this will be pre vented by the timely interference of General BELLIARD who communicated to General CHASSE that he had received a telegraphic despatch, stating that the King of the French takes under his protection all the property, public and piivate, and will hold the Dutch General responsible for any damage done by bom bardment or otherwise. Sir EDWARD CODRINGTON'S fleet will im mediately take up its station in the North Sea, and be greatly reinforced. It is expected in the Downs to-day. In addition to his other misfortunes, the King of HOLLAND has now lost Batavia—the Bel gians in that quarter having followed the exampl e of their friends at home, and taken possession of Dutch India! The French have laid an embargo on all Dutch vessels at Dunkirk and elsewhere. This looks like business. Extract from the agent at Lloyd's, at Ant. erp, dated sth August : " Two Dutch steamers commenced an attack upon a Belgic fort, about four miles up the river, and dis mounted their guns : they then proceeded up to Boom, and have just returned, bringing with them four vessels in tow, two of which are said to be new-constructed Belgic hrigantines,and the other Belgic trading vessels. Pre narations are making here to sink a large ship, called the .1 - nines Scott, in the narrow channel opposite the Fort du Nord to prevent ships of war manoeuvring. Capt. Koop man, who commands the Dutch navy here, gave notice yes terday to all foreign Consuls, that hostilities were to com mence last night, and recommended that all neutral vessels should leave the basin before half-past nine, 1..31. Al mest all of them have attended to this order." . . " DUNKIRK, AUG. 6.—This moment as I am writing►, the French Government have put an embargo on all Dutch vessels, in consequence of the denunciation of the armistice by the Government of Holland." In the House of Commons on Saturday—a full report of the whole of whose proceedings appeared in The Sun of that day—the Com mittee got through schedule D in the Reform Bill ; and decided on the clause respecting Weymouth and Melcombe-Regis, which hence forth are to return only two Members, instead of four, which till now they have always done. — But though the Bill progresses quicker than here tofore, still we think its progress might reasonably be accelerated, for many important points yet remain to be discussed, on which, as a matter of course, the Opposition will raise as many ob stacles as possible. The addition however of Saturday to the usual working-days of the House is a great point gained, and for insisting on which the Ministers deserve considerable praise. The Bill will be brought on again to morrow night. As a last resource, finding all other means of rendering the Reform Bill obnoxious to the people unavailing, the Opposition appear to have come to a unanimous resolution of making a dead set at the Piccs• This is now their bug bear. The licentious Press—the corrupt Presi —the profligate Press—these are now their favourite expressions when alluding to the injured innocent in question. The fashion was first set. in the House of Lords, thence it was taken up by the Opposition in the Commons, and thence by some wretched hacks at the Bar, who hoped by their interested and mercenary abuse of the Press, to obtain the novelty of a brief or two, and wriggle themselves into some sort of noto riety. But all parties will fail equally in their at tacks on the Press. The motives for their so doing are too glaring to be disguised, and too absurd to be successful. The people besides are able to think and judge for themselves : they know that the Press has been the main instrument in paving the way for their regeneration, and that so long as it continues, as at present, free and in corruptible, despotism and bigotry can do no very serious mischief. We are led to these re marks by a flagrant. attack made by the Earl of WINCHILSEA a few evenings since, at a hum bug dinner given to Sir E. KNATCLIBULL b) his Kentish admirers, at Sittingbourne, on what his Lordship was pleased to call " the profligate, vicious, and unprincipled Press." These are hard words, but assuredly very harmless—even though delivered ex cathedril by the en lightened Earl of WINCHILSEA, whose con sistency has of late become as notorious as his statesmanship. It is alot by ribald, intem perate abuse that the salutary influence or the public Press is to be put clown. Far other means must be adopted. Argument must be brought into play—proof of the corruption and profligacy of the Press must be adduced ; till this be done, not all the abuse in the world, however gross, or however desperate, will have the slightest effect on the public mind. But the Anti-Reformers well know that they have no specific, tangible charge to bring against the Press ; all they know, and all they care about is, that it is -the determined foe of despotism ; hence they hate, and vomit forth their Billings gate against it. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. In the course of the preceding week, the arrivals of English Corn were small, and of Foreign Wheat and Oats tolerably good This morning there is a very small supply of all sorts of Grain fresh up. There have been some heavy showers lately, but the weather has been chiefly fin and continues so this morning. Some new Wheat has appeared, partly very tine and some very thin, it has sold slowly at from 565. to Ids. per; quarter. Old Wheat, both Foreign and English, may be reported Is. per quarter higher than last week, but the trade has been slack throughout the morning. Barley and Malt are without altera tion.

COURT OF CHANCERY. COMMITMENT.-CALVERLEY v. CALVERLEY. This was a case in which his Honour hi d iommittal to the Fleet Prison four poor persons of the names c; Calverley, 'Wilson, Ellison, and Pindar the greater number o vhose families are supported by pari-he , ) tbr an alleged violath if a notice of an injunction that had been issued to restrain at tutting or removing of timber awn a certain close. The Limbs in the one side was valued at only '2oi., and on the other at 35/ Che affidavits on which the order of cominitment was made wen if the most loose and inconclusive description his Lordshil 'tad ever in the whole course of his life seen. Whole brit ,ages of them he (the Lord Chatlecliorl had Marked wit! •ed ink, as being the most complete specimeng rf nionn of sweat rig that ought to be discountenanced by all Courts, and, in. teed, which called for some meristire to prevent a repetition o: Throughout they were filled with hdaisays, beliefs, and rumours. fhe very utmost extent to which the affidavits could go was, ti aise a case of suspicion, which might call upon the,poor met o answer. They had answered ; they hid not may positive! , lenied the charges brought against them, but they had got other iersons distinctly to contradict the affidavits made on the origins- application. Unfortunately the result eduid only resolve itself inn question of costs. These men had suffered probably more fron he length of their imprisonment than they wtilild have done i hey had been tried before a jury and found guilty Cf %mite cii ninal ofthnce, notwithstanding they were innocent, and ought sever to have been committed. The Court regretted that it iould not give the costs of the appeal, as it reversed the ordo static below ; but his Lordship put himself as it were into the ;hoes of his Honour, and directed the men to be discharged ,'orthwith, and to have the costs paid to them incurred up to thi ime of the appeal. SMITH r. FITZGERALD. The LORD CHANCELLOR stated, that this was an appea' front a decision of Sir Wm. Grant, while Master of the Rolls. It had been areued before Lord Eldon, but he went out of otfict before it could be disposed of. The question arose upon tht construction of General Smith's will, and after all the considera tion his Lordship had been able to give to it, he was clearly of opinion that the decree below ought to be Alined in all respects. KIDNEY v. COCKBURN. This was a motion for a now trial, arising upon the rejection of piece of evidence by the Lord Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas. His Lordship said he had taken time to consi der it, and to consult with the Learned Common Law Judges, and though the opinion of the whole agreed with the view hu Lordship was disposed to take of it, yet the que,tion was so im portant as regarded the principle of admitting or rejecting evi dence, that his Lordship had come to the resolution to send a case upon it to the Court of King's Bench. DAWSaN v. HEARNE. His LORDSHIP affirmed the decree of the Master of the Rolls, with costs. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COUR T. EX-PARTE INJUNCTION. WATERHOUSE AND THOROUGHGOOD r. SMITH. . . _ . Mr. JACOB, at the sitting of the Court to-day, applied for an injunction ex-parte, to restrain the defendant from letting the coach-office attached to the Angel Inn, Islington ' to any other person than the plaintiffs, or from excluding them from carrying on their business there. The VICE-CHANCELLOR—Why, Mr. Jacob, your injunc tion will have the effect of restraining half mankind from tra velling. Mr. JACOB stated, that the application was made on be half of the assignees of Messrs. Waterhouse, the grew coach proprietors. The defendant was the owner of the Angel inn at Islington, and in August, 1825, he granted a lease of the coach-office in question to Joseph Waterhouse for twenty-one years, at a rent of Is. a year. In that lease there were certain covenants as to keeping the premises in repair, and the payment of certain expences incident to the office, the non attention to which was to render the lease void. In May, 11+29, J. Waterhouse, the lessee, made a mortgage of the lease for 1,4001. In May, 1331, Joseph Waterhouse and his partner became bank rupts, anti Mr. Thoroughgood and another became the as. signees. After the issuing of the Commission the business was carried on on behalf of the estate of the bankrupt, and a clerk at. tended at the office for that purpose. On the evening of the 13th of July the defendant, Smith, went into the office, and stated to the clerk that he was entitled to possession in conse quence of the Messrs. Waterhouse having forfeited the lease. The VICF—CHANCELLOR—On what ground did the de fendant consider the lease forfeited Mr. JACOB stated the nonpayment of certain expenses for gas lights. The defendant then demanded the keys of the office, observing that he would allow the clerk to carry on the business provided he would deliver up the keys every evening. After this had taken place, his (Mr. J.'s) client offered to pay the ex pellees, 118/., the non-payment of which the defendant con sidered invalidated the lease, but the acceptance of which the defendant declined. The VICE-CHANCELLOR stated he would grant the in junction provided the plaintiff's would pay the 1184 into Court. Mr. JACOB observed that his clients were willing to do that, being melt persuaded that Smith had had a better offer for the premises, which he wished to take advantage of —lnjunction granted.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CL OCK. The Hague Paper, by the steamer, has the following : (From the Frontiers of Poland, July 28.) No fre,h news has been received in regard to the position of the Russian army, but it is certain that the Russians have cut off the communication of the road from Warsaw to Posen. The Russian head quarters arc at Niesrawa. The Poles think that it is the intention of the Russians to occupy previously all Vorvodie and Kalesch. Field-Marshal Count Paskewitsch has sent to the Emperor a report from Isis head-quarters, of the 20th of July, informing his Majesty of the passage of the Vistula by the different columns of his army. Ile has also addressed a Proclamation to the Poles, inviting them to lay down their arms. Accounts from Paris state that Marshal Clauzel has received orders to proceed to Strasburg. A Lisbon snail has arrived, sailed the 24th July. We do not hear any particular news from that quarter ; all was quiet there, and the French fleet had not as yet left the Tagus. The information from Rio Janeiro of the Sth of June, received this morning, is of an unfavourable nature. A proposition was made in the House of Deputies to suspend the payment of the dividends for five years. This, we under,tood, was rejected. In consequence of this proposition Brazil Bonds have fallen this morning from four to five per cent. As yet we have no furth er arrivals from the continent. THE FUNDS. We had an early attendance this morning in the city, both of commercial and speculating gentlemen, all eager to peruse the journals in regard to the late important events on the srim tinent, which are by no means of so warlike a description as the previous accounts. The well-intnrmed and the private letters from Paris, state that his Dutch Majesty will soon be obliged fn. give up the contest ; as it is positively asserted in Paris that he, will receive no assistance from the live Powers. His losing' Batavia must be a severe blow. Consols, w hi c h l e ft off on Saturday at 80% sellers, opened at 80%, owing to the FrenCh Rentes coming higher, and went up to 81 ; at present they are 803, sellers.

A letter is in town from Dunkirk, stating that the French have laid an embargo on all Dutch ships there, and it is sup posed this will take place in the other French ports. From Antwerp of the 6th, they write that two Dutch steamers have taken a fort belonging to the Belgians, and that the Bel gians are going to sink a large ship in the Scheldt, near Antwerp, to prevent the men-otlwar approaching. We hear that the Britannia, 120 guns, arrived at Portsmouth from the Mediterranean, has received orders by the telegraph to take in four months' provisions. and to proceed to the Downs to join Admiral Codrington's fleet ; also that twenty pilots have set otrfor the fleet. Consols are at present SON, buyers, tbr the account. It is still thegeneral opinion that the affairs of Holland will be settled in a few days.

If there are any persons who, of all others, have the least right to complain of calumny, i'her in newspapers or elsewhere, it must be a certaui class of Barristers, whose practice has been confined to tiie lower Courts, and who not unfrequently make up in matchless license of tongue for a deficiency in those acquirements which would advance them to a higher rank in their pro fession. See those persons with heartless audacity stating as facts what they know they cannot prove; see them brow-beating and insulting witnesses often without regal.) to age or sex ; and then let us ask with what consistency, decency, or propriety, they can indulge in false tirades against the Press —against that Press, let it be remem bered, whose greatest fault it has been to fan into notice its own base calumniators?-2Vornin g Herald.

A hard run rice took pliee to the stand, where Nicholson called on his horse, and, with out lifting his hand, won cleverly by nearly a length. Nicholson, who has remarkably short legs, spurred The Saddler on the left aide above the bock ; Brother to Tarrare, by Nelson; Lady Elizabeth, by Edwards; Victoire, by W. Scott; Bradley, by Darling; Truih, by Templeman ; And Thimbleman, by T. Lye. The owner of The Saddler had a liberal offer for his horse previous to the race from Mr. Gully, who would not have allowed him to start if his terms bad been accepted. The horse was decidedly amiss, wrs frequently heard couching during the day, had a cracked heel, and has done little or no work for the last month. Had he been well, there is no doubt he would have been backed against the field. Under these circumstances, Mr. Skipseys conduct •in starting him is highly praised.

As the most essential provisions of the Reform Bill have already received the sanction of the Com mittee of the House of Commons, or will certainly receive it in the course of this week, the country is beginning to look forwatd with some curiosity and interest to its fate in another place, where it. will be admitted with less favour, and is expected to incur more dangers. The unreasonable forebodings of some of its timid friends, in regard to this stage of its progress, have given a kind of countenance to the criminal hopes of its unthinking adversarita,and both have contemplated the possibility of its failure, or postponement, by an opposition majority of the Peers. Accordingly, hypothesis has been heaped upon hypothesis to arrive at some conclusion on the consequences of such an event, or the mode of pre venting it. And much ingenuity has been thrown ays ay to prove that its rejection could not be final —that the Lords who are hostile to the measure would not dare to resist the nearly equal number of their own colleagues pledged to its support, — seconded as the noble minority would be by nearly all the Members of the House of Commons who have constituents,—by the enthusiastic unanimity of l ithe whole country, arid by the deliberate conviction arid zealous exertions of his Majesty. Such a view of the case however just, and such arguments how ever conclusive, will, we are persuaded, be found unnecessary to remove alarm or to inspire confidence. Thu: Bill must pass the House of Commons by a triumphant majority; and thence will continue the impulse which it has received till it reaches the Thripe, where we are beforehand assured of its safety. In making this declaration of our opinion, let us not be understood as desirous to deprive the Peers of any of their constitutional privileges, —to deny their title to be considered an independent branch of the Legislature,—to dispute the necessity of their concurrence in every law which the country is called upon to obey,—or to reduce their vote to a cipher, to be thought of value only when added to the unit of the other House. Neither shall we suppose it possible that their Lordships can act from the base motive of personal fear, or that their consent will be obtained to a measure which their judgment condemns, under any menace of danger to their persons, their estates, or their title , . No! let the enemies of the Bill rave about revolutionary violence, popular intimidation, and democratic sedition, as the results of a salu tary measure calculated to secure the riehts of all. We anticipate no such things; we anticipate with certainty the sanction of the Lords to the Bill, con sistently with the unassailed preservation of all their privileges, and in their most perfect freedom from terror or violence. They mar/ reject it, if they choose, but they will not do so;—they have the power of putting an extinguisher on the result of several mouths' labour in the other House of Par liament, but they will not exercise that power ; they may fly in the face of their Sovereign, and disappoint the general and deep-rooted hopes of their fellow-subjects, but we entertain no apprehen sion that they will act so insane a part. We ground our anticipation of this gratifying result on the theory of the Constitution, as expounded by some of the Lords themselves, and as exemplified in its mode of " working well," which they adduce as their strongest reason for not attempt in g its improvement. If you ask the most phi losophical of them how of late years the two Houses of Parliament have beni, prevented from clashing n against ottliireer regular. I thetheir case, and it Governme nt by angry collisions, y ou are told that whatever may have happened formerly, l:r t rU eachpl :g
