SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. One of the wretched pretences upon which the Tory Peers have contumeliously refused to extend to Ireland -that salutary Reform of Municipal Institutions which the people of England extorted from their fears, is, hat such Reform would nourish party feuds, end-he the aliment of agitation in that portion of our empire. The shalloWness of tint pretext for wrong-doing has been fathomed by every rational being in the enite , !, Kingdom. If the Tories desired the aimiliilatioee of party warfare in the sister country, how does it.;:ar t ep e n that they never dreamed of drying. up the 'teeming source of strife, by abolishing the Orange. corpora tions, until the Liberal Government pro7 e nimilecl a plan for the reformation of these pest : horr ett s '? When the Duke of Wellington, in an instree t , Converted the anti- Catholic Peers and the whole : bench of Bishops, in 1829, from intolerant to lib evel views, why did not his Grace, and his subalter.p, the plausible Tamworth Baronet, seize the "xeportunity, and when they yielded the Cathor.;., cla i ms, abolish those civic nuisances, wilos".. existence was incompatible with the spirit ar.d letter of the Relief Bill ? Cor porations. in Ireland were as viciou s , as p ro fli ga t e , as proli:ric of fraud and factious feud then as they have ioeen at any moment since. Though by an Act of the Irish Parliament Corporations were thrown open equally to Catholics and to Protestants, from 1793 to 1829, not a member of the Catholic communion was permitted to enter the gates which enclosed civic au thority and civic dignity ; and thus the Senate was trampled under the hoof of the Common Council, and the laws of the realm were nullified by the private rules of the Corporate malignants. These corporate exclu sionists, it was well known to the Duke of Wellington and Sir R. Peel, vehemently opposed the removal of the Catholic disabilities in 1829. The Right Hon. Baronet, in particular, had reason to feel that in sub mitting to the just demands of the Irish Catholics, he incurred the furious hate of the Orange corporators. Alid if Sir Robert. Peel was convinced of their un bending bigotry, the Duke of 'Wellington had long ex perience of their scandalous peculations. It was Arthur Wellesley, who, as Secretary for Ireland, threw the first stone at corporate power in that country. By him, the rights of the Corporation of Dublin— the most corrupt and intolerant in the empire-- were first invaded, when he deprived them of the power of nominating the chief magistrate (not the Lord Mayor), and laid the foundation of the present system of metropolitan police. Knowing, then, as the Duke of Wellington and Sir Robert Peel did, by personal experience, that the Irish Corporations were - nests of intolerance and peculation, why, if these statesmen were anxious to give their own great mea sure of 1829 full and fair play, and to remove, as far as in them lay, all prominent causes of local factious disputation—why, we repeat, did they not follow up the Relief Bill by a measure such as that prepared by Baron Lyndhurst, and acquiesced in, if not actually suggested, by them ? We shall not, surely, be told that the evil effects of " agitation" were not felt at the period to which we allude. It was to " agitation" the Field-Marshal bent his truncheon ; and " agitation" was the confessed instrument that wrung a reluctant assent to Catholic Emancipation from the great master of cant and plausibility. Both Ministers must have foreseen that civic agitation would be fearfully in creased by throwing open the Senate to Catholics, while they remained excluded, in a country where they abound in the ratio of at least 14 to 1, from all partici pation in their own municipal government. Still neither of them adverted even to the propriety of re modelling, much less utterly annihilating at one fell swoop all the Corporations in Ireland. No motion was made for Corporate Reform—not a whisper was was breathed about Corporate obliteration. There was not, then, any apprehension of injury to the peace of society from the continuance of corrupt and close and Orange Corporations in the sister 'country, on the minds of the Tory leaders six years ago. Have ; their present fears sprung from an instinctive horroe o f reformed and open municipalities ? Is this tlee clue to that labyrinth of perplexity and fraud in Nikiich they would involve the people of England ? P,ut conced ing, for the sake of argument, that tie Tory Peers and their wire-pullers, are sincere iri this pretended dread of agitation, and that in consequence they insult Ireland, and injure that sacred. principle of liberty which is so deeply prized in Britain—do they not see that they have been but blowing up the furnace, and throwing oil upon the flames ? Let them look to the Irish papers, and there they shall behold the in incontestible proof of their own fatuity. " Agitation" is now the order of the day in Ireland. The tocsin has been sounded in the capital, and its echoes are reverberating in the uttermost extremities of the island. And who are the agitators ? The ques tion is answered in the Dublin Evening Post. The nobility, the gentry, the professors, the agricultural and mercantile interests, the men of most moderate opinions, ps well as the Radicals, Protestants, and Catholics—all are aroused into action and into bold remonstrance against the outrageous insult put upon the country by the nefarious proposition of Baron Lyndhurst. Two meeting; have already been held in Dublin, accounts of which have been published in the Morning Chronicle and a third—an aggregate as semblage of the metropolitan population—has, been convened at the Coburg Gardens, a localitxtliat has gathered fame from the astounding sentence passed upon Mr. Thomas Reynolds by Chief Justice Do herty. Upon this meeting we are prepared to see all manner of abuse and ridicule heaped by the unscru pulous organs of the corruptionist Destructives ; but how with they get over the meeting of the 'county of, Meath, convened by the High Sheriff; and to Wee place to-morrow, " for the purpose"—we use the viorde of the requisitionists—" of petitioning_ Parliament fee, a speedy and satisfa c t or y se t t l ement o f the 'F,the, ques tion, and also of expressing the strong sere we enter tain of the injustice done to Ireland, "by refusing a measure of Reform, on the same principles as the Acts recently Irssed for England and Scotland ?" The doeimient ;:o which this language is used, in speaking of the conduct pursued by the Tory Peers towards Ireland, bears the signatures of three hundred individ.eals, the most insignificant of whom is a person in ieidep e nd en t c i rcumstances . A t t h e head of the list we perceive the names of eight Peers—the .Marques of Headfort ; the Earls of Fingal, Essex, and Mil%own ; and Lords Sherborne, Cloncurry, Gorman sti,n, and Talbot dc Malahide ; besides five Baronets, f whom three are Protestants, two eldest sons of Peers, four Members of Parliament, one Lord Lieute nant of a county, eight Deputy-Lieutenants, a Catholic Bishop, and a Clergyman of !Jae Fostablished Church. Whence will the livrary tools of Toryism collect filth uherewith to sully a requisition thus subscribed ? For, as a matter of course, Abuse will be applied when reason fails. But neither railing nor ruffianism Can erase or misrepresent facts in this instwe e e." Th e high and influential names to which we. have referred are affixed to the requisition ; and 'Cu object of the meeting is declared in terms chat admit neither of misrepresentation nor of mis.g.'_carception. Such is the first fruit of the q;:ap,- , _le of tne titled abettors of abuse to lay the sl i e : .",:a of agitati on i n I re l an d. Th e patrician lw:elicators have become the most bunnlinn breaker; o f t h e pu bli c peace), as the self-styled 'Con serv:dives have exhibited the4Moet violent propen • nities to destroy. Peace, i n , thei r vocabulary, implies confusion. Repose is the specific these e:npyrics pre scribe for the political disease of Ireland ; and the narcotic they administer is the most stimulating of draughts. The nation bleeds after a long war of party ; and, as a healing measure, the Tory Lords pour poison into her wounds. They refuse a partici pation in the useful institutions of Britain to a third of the population of the empire, in order, as they al lege, to allay agitation ; and the effect of their perni cious deed is, to make all Ireland a vast theatre of agi tation, where men of the highest rank in the realm are compelled b y T ory tyranny to p l ay a p ar t. That it was at this object the Tory faction aimed under cover of the audacious pretence that they only desired the establishment of order in Ireland, is sufficiently avowed by their only Evening, as well as by their latest Morn ing organ. These journals have, in the folly of their fury, given wind to the real and ill-concealed design of the Tory Lords in mangling and destroying the Irish Municipal Reform Bill. Rebelli on ' they yearn for. As the hunted hart pants for water, so do the Tory faction pant for an occasion to draw - Mg sword upon 'be Irish, and to satiate themselves with that blood for which they are thirsting. The inhuman project will not succeed. The Irish are too well sehOolcu in -the science of politital. warfare to rty the ene my's game.

Our most patriotic Ministers having resolved to en deavour to throw the country once more into disorder and disturbance, have let slip the dogs of agitation, both here and in Ireland. It happens, however, un luckily for them, and for the agitators who are en couraged (perhaps employed) by them, that the mat ter they have selected to make a stir about this time is so exceedingly simple, that we doubt whether even their skill in thimblcriagery will enable them to prac tise with success the cheat they seem to meditate upon the public. At the same time it is necessary to ex pose the folly and the fraud in which this new attempt of the juggling quacks - to derange and distemper the body politic, for their own personal profit, has been conceived and brought forth. The Ministers allege,, that the Bill relative - to — Municipal Corporations hilie land.is a mockery and an insult to that country, inaas much as by the difference between its enactments and the enactments of the English and Scotch Corporation Bills, Ireland is told that her popula tion cannot be trusted with the same municipal powers as the inhabitants of the other portions of the empire enjoy. Such is the charge, such the complaint of the Ministers. Well, let them, for the sake of the argument, be considered as just and well founded ; and let us then examine what sort of Municipal Bill it was that these same Ministers themselves prepared for Ireland. One of two things must, of course, be true—namely—that the Ministerial Municipal Bill for Ireland made no diffe rence between the Irish, on the one hand, and the English and the - Scotch on the other ; or that, in charging the House of Lords with mocking and in sulting the Irish by their attempt to establish such a difference, the Ministers, besides disgracing themselves to the last degree, have, like clumsy thrashers, broken their own heads with the blow they levelled at the Lords. And which of these things is true ? To the shame of public men be it spoken, the last, not the first ; for the Ministerial Municipal Bill for Ireland bore no resemblance to the English and Scotch Bills, and it made a carefully and strongly marked difference and distinction between the Corporations the IVldbia ters had established inßritain, and those they Proposed to establish in Ireland. We will, on arySi,ner occasion, carefully compare the two Bills detail. For the present we content ourselves vvi's'n stating this indis putable fact—namely _.that the Ministers vested in the bodies they created in Ireland, and which they called Corporat,,ons, no powers of any d escr ip t i on whatever, e)r..cept powers to appoint coroners and to provide f'sr the watching, lighting, paving, and cleans ing of the street's. The Lords said, "If these be all tho- powers you intend to bestow upon your Irish corporations, it is absurd to create Corporations for the administration of matters so insignificant, and which moreover are already provided for, either by local Acts, or by the Act 9 George IV., c. 82, that applies to all parts of Ireland not already subjected to the provisions of local Acts." Such being the plain unvarnished truth of this case, what honest man is there, of whatever party, who will refuse to admit that the pretence which Ministers now set up for agitation, and it may be for riot and bloodshed, is contemptibly fraudulent, and not a whit less foolish than it is foul, because it proceeds upon the vain hope that by the misrepresentations of themselves and their ad herents they may succeed in keeping out of view the fact that they themselves proposed to legislate for Ireland in a manner essentially different from that in which they had legislated for England and Srsoiland, while they accuse the House of Lords of passing insult and mockery upon Ireland, for attempting the same thing, and nothing more. But, will any rational being be persuaded that there is not more than meets the eye in thi s di scre dit a bl e conduct of the Ministers ? We think not ; and when we betake ourselves to the somewhat humiliating task of endeavouring to track these tricksters through the dirty and devious paths in which alone they can hope to shelter themselves for a time from the 'ionominious fate that sooner or later must inevitably befal them, we are influenced only by a desire to caution the public that there is no game too profligate for such politicians to attempt, no means too dishonourable for them to have recourse to, in the hope of prolonging their Mi nisterial existence, and of deferring their fearful day of reckoning even for a period however brief. Look, then, at the position which the Ministers occupy, and recol-:. lea their course for the last few weeks. Up to a few - dar, - s ago, the debate in the Lords on the Irish Muni eipal the bubble out of which Ministers are now attempting to make a boil, went on quietly enough. While Lord Melbourne managed it on the part of the Government, it was rather smart and jocose than otherwise. It became dull enough when Lord Lansdowne first succeeded the Premier, and so it continued until that very sober senator suddenly as sumed the air of a scolding vixen, and publicly courted that collision between the two Houses, which he had before deprecated ten thousand times in speeches that, from their manner, made much too heavy an impression, for the little matter they con , tained, ever to be forgotten. Nobody who had ob served Lord Lansdowne's political course could doubt that now, at least, there was something in the wind. While yet conjecturing what that ".something" might he, the town was favoured with the publication of the Big Beggarman's address to the people of En g land, recommending the destruction of.tke Peerage, and then the chan.witr- Lord Lansdowne was no longer inexpli cable. Upon this followed closely Lord John Russell's speech for agitation in the House of Commons, and the news that the other great man of the party, Mr. Shed, was doing as much mischief as his small means would allow him in Dublin. There can be no doubt the lkhole of this affair was " got up" from the beginning of it to the end : first, the old womanish spite and railing of Lord Lansdowne ; next, the letter of the vain old Beggarman, who sends his greasy hat round to every door for coppers, that he and his may eat the bread of idleness —or, if they work at all, work mischief only : then the speech of Lord John Russell, and the pre meditated impromptus of Mr. Hume and of the rest of his Radical supporters ; contemporaneously with these the disinterested displays of the Destructives of the Ministerial press ; and, finally, the mandrake shrieks of Mr. Shiel piping all hands to their pikes in Ireland. But the object of all this wickedness and absurdity— what is it ? 3 . . - Look, we say again, to the position in which the Ministers are placed. Last Session their stalking-horse was - the Irish . Tithe Bill. Since that measure was thrown out—at which time the Minis ters in the most 'outrageously violent declamations pro mised to renew it as soon as the Parliament should re assemble, and pamphlets were penned at the expense of Radical Associations connected with Ministers, and moved by them, in which the certainty, of carrying the measure with a high hand, and soon, was' demonstrated to the perfect satisfaction of the writers and their em ployers—since that event, we say, a vast change has taken place in Ireland with regard to the collection of Tithes, and England has acted as well as spoken in a manner not to be misunderstood'. The Barons of the Exchequer have enforced the l aw in spit e o f th e Mulgraves and Morpeths and Drumraonds ; and one of the most splendid subscription s ever raised in I any . country has manifested the sympathy of the British Protestants with the persecuted Clergy.of the THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, MAY 24, 1836. Fscablishitioift in Ireland. Consequently, the Irish Tithe Bill, is—where ? Why, on the orders of- the day for a second reading on some day in June !—the Parliament having met in February ,A, to !twit.: r6iVrt fif to sep'ol6 ( tit j"..:l2'ai from the political function • '," of thc Lora Chancellor. Great were the panegyrics pro nounced on those measures before they appeared, and what is said of them now ? Why, they are universally scouted by all parties, except the parents of them. Those bills will never pass into laws. The English Tithe Bill is acknowledged on all hands to be the most laughable mess that ignorance and presumption ever before heaped together in so small a space. Neither Churchmen nor Dissenters are satisfied with the Mar riage Bill. The promised abolition of Chuch rates is still only promised ; and neither the Radicals nor the Conservatives approve of Mr. Rice's superficial scheme For limiting the tax on knowledge to a pennyi: and the diffusion of knowledge to doses of so many inches. Then, for the crowning measure of the Cabinet and of the ses sion, which was to be a Bill for the abolition of impri sonment for debt. Where is it ? Echo answers " where 9" which is about as satisfactory as any of the twenty replies which Sir John Campbell has given during the course of the session to the same question, twenty times repeated. We direct the attention of our readers to these, because they are the most prominent points . of the position in which the Ministers find themselves at this moment—that is to say; within six weeks of the 'period at which the session ought to close. The mea sures we have mentioned, too, and the stages at which they have arrived, are admirably illustrative of the good faith and the capability of the Government. Shall we proceed to notice others, or have we, for the present, said enough to let the public into at least this one se cret of the Ministerial manceuvres—namely, that they will be delighted to create a disturbance, at whatever cost or risk to the country, in order that, under cover of the riot they have themselves raised, they may sneak off and avoid the fulfilment of their pledges for another yearby means of disputes with the. Loridi - ahout mat ters of no importance—or by a sudden prbrogation— or, if hard pressed, by a dissolution Times. Much grave and ingenious speculation is indulged in by both French and English journals a to the causes of the Ministerial revolution in Spain. There is nothing mysterious or difficult of explanation in the matter. The fall of the Spanish Ministry is the na tural consequence of the very arts by which it rose to power. The politician who plays the juggler before a nation is sure to astonish the spectators for a time, but the admiration turns to.contempt when his tricks grow stale upon the crowd. In his public character alone do we speak of M. Mendizabal, the creator and chief of the late Ministry ; and, in his public cha racter, we know of no man in modern times who .practiced more trickery to less purpose than this Minister. Large and liberal were the demands which he made upon the credulity and patience of the Spanish people, by promising mountains, and producing mice. With him Government was an occult science, having its cabalistic secrets of potent energy, which he, the conjuror of the scene, was to apply to public af fairs with the wonder-working genius of a Katerfelto. He asked only for six months to perform the racles of giving Spain infernal peace, political union, and financial prosperity. The people gave him nine months ; and bad as the condition cif Spain was when he assumed the reins of Government, it is now much worse. The thing to wonder at, then, is not that his Administration has. fallen, but that it stood so long. Let the public only recollect with what a flourish of trumpets from Spanish, French, and English journalists, M. Mendizabal was ushered upon the stage as Chief Minister of Spain I A deafening clamour, a most ob streporous din of adulation announced his advent' as the regenerator of the Spanish monarchy. For ven turing to doubt that the magnificent promises then made could be easily realised—for advising the public to suspend their judgment until they had better proof than the voice of flattery to attest the merits of so great a genius—we were treated as worse than heretics, or " unbelieving Jews ;" and if certain jobbers who most patriotically speculate upon the public credulity in some liberal journals had their own way, they would certainly have commended the Morning Herald to the purgatorial process of a Spanish Inquisition. When the yet unpePformed exploits of M. Mendizabal were the theme of such extravagant praise, we did not forget that his predecessors in office had in turn ex cited great expectationS, all of which had been mi serably falsified ; and though we were resolved to give M. Mendizabal " a fair trial," we were equally re solved.not to praise his exploits and extol his merits by anticipation. When, however, he solemnly under took'and promised in the face of Europe that lie would put an end to the Carlist war in six months, and that he would look neither for foreign loan nor foreign in tervention—when he declared that he had some grand secret which was only to be exhibited to produce mira culous effects in restoring to health and vigour the body politic of Spain, labouring under a complication of distempers, we did not hesitate to denounce all this as arrant quackery—such as no real Statesman would practise, and which, by exciting unreasonable expec tations for a 'time would give a keener sting to dis appointment. The Carlist war was to have been ex tinguished in six months. At the end of nine months the Carlists are stronger, more daring, and more active than ever. How has the promise been kept as to fo reign intervention ? By repeated applications to the French Government to send an army to put down the unassisted Biscayans and Navarrese, mho set the Go vernment of Madrid at defiance, supported as that Government is by about 20,000 foreigners, enrolled in British, French, and Portuguese legions. But the assistance of these 20,000 bayonets, is not " inter vention ;" it is only " co-operation." In the same light we must look upon the expedition of 700 marines, with their officers, whom Lord Palmerston has sent out to Bilboa, and the cannonade of the Carlist en trenchments by a 'British vessel of war, under Lord John Hay4lie " terrible effect" of whose shot and shells saved the British Legion from the utter destruc tion which was prepared for them by the military in capacity of their Chief, who ordered men to charge with the bayonet, strong and unbreached fortifications, and to run their heads, as if they were battering rams, against " walls of tire,"- After this it may be well said of General Evans, as was said or sung of another extraordinary hero, whom Swift has immortalised, " Nor Alps, nor Pyrennees can keep him out, Nor fortified redoubt ;" —that is, provided lie has always a Lord Jolla Hay to repair his blunders by opening, at a safe distance, a terri ble .fire of shot and shell upon an enemy with whom Lord Hay's Government declares that it is not at war ! But more of this again—return we to the exploits of M. Mendizabal. In relation to the downfall of that Minister, the Palmerston Journal has the following passage : " We must own that we think the late Cabinet and its chief has been very unfairly treated by its assailants, whether at home or abroad. M. Mendizabal has been restrain expected the to Juntas, combine and things n y g e s t the to p omostor the incompatible—to popular a t i h n e i Carlists yet to bring ; the renouncecontest intervention, t e t r o v e n a t ion masses uponloans , speedy refuseand decisive issue. Any Ministry which shall assume power on the same conditions will scarce avoid expe riencing the same embarrassments ; and as M. Men- - dizabal has already proceeded far in arranging- the terms (I a loan, and had already obtaineda signal earnest of good service from the allies of Spain (Lord J o h n H r y, to wit), his retirement, however caused, must, we think, be regarded as an untoward event in the, present critical state eqll'airs.” So, at all events, here is an admission that he only asked six months to settle the affairs of Spain, and has, at the end of nine months, left those affairs in a "critical state." But then he was required to combine things the most incompatible. Who required him to do so ? Only those people who were foolish and dolt-headed enough to put faith in his own promises 1 Who promised incompatible, or rather, we ought to say, who promised impossible things ? Who promised to raise 100,000 men and to put down the Carlist insurrection in six months, without foreign loan or foreign interveotion ? . M. Mendizabal. Yet we are now told what we knew before, what, we often in effect, stated before, that, accepting power on such conditions could only end in embarrassment. Great is the sagacity of those persons who are wise after events. Roundly were we rated by those after-sighted politicians because we told M. Mendizabal, while fortune yet seemed to smile upon him, that he ,had • • • promised what-it Was iMpOSsibie for bith to peilorm, and warned him of the ettibarraFfing ecnsertuence to which such extravagant roonses -MAN . lead. , ,at viCe (tid.tly? receive trom our iviaurio correspoiltt::, wculd it have been for him if he closed his ears to the fatal charm of flattery, and profited by that honest advice ; but the truth was unpalatable to hini,—he had probably become a dupe to his own delusions. The man who dared to tell him of his errors, and to point out to him the only way to honourable action or a dignified retreat, he regarded as an enemy, and this leader of Liberals violated the liberty of a British subject, and the law of nations, by seizing and expelling by force of arms our Correspondent from Spain. That Correspondent pre dieted the speedy downfall of a power sc abused, and the prediction is already verified. The Queen -Regent who has long disliked him, and wished to rid her self of him, waited only until the patience of the Spanish people was exhausted in expecting the fulfil- . 1 ment of his magniloquent promises, and, finding he had outlived his popularity, she seized upon the earliest pretext to take his power away, and transferit to his political rival and enemy. As to the Government of Isturiz, we will treat it as we did that of Mendizabal —not praise it for deeds of patriotism only promised, or for acts of wisdom yet to be performed. We will first see what course it really takes before we form a decided opinion as to the good or evil effects of its counsels on the destinies of Spain. At the same time such is the demoralized state of that country, and such the contempt for principle, virtue, and good faith among its public men, that it is more safe to augur ill than well of any Spanish Administration. . The more we see of Spanish politics and parties, the more we regret that our Government should ever have mixed up the honour and interests of England with the fero cious animosities and dirty concerns of Spain.— Morning Herald.- The enemies of the Conservative party uncon sciously pay it the highest compliment, while they threaten it with destruction. Their language amounts to this—" Unless you consent to be the slaves of us, who are ourselves the slaves of O'Connell—unless you adopt the measures which we adopt from himwe' shall proceed to such desperate extremities as must put the Legislative Constitution, and eveh,& Monarchy, in great danger ; but we believe that you would rather submit to the wrong we propose than bring the Legis lative Constitution and,:-the' Monarchy. into the jeo pardy which we threaten, and therefore we use this threat." What is-the plain inference, but that they who thus address us believe that we are more loyal than they—more attached to the Monarchy—more faithful to the Constitution, and more ready to make sacrifices for the peace and security of these institu tions, than they are to abstain from doing violence to -them ? And who are they who thus threaten to dis turb the country—to stop the wheels of Government —to destroy the independent voice of: one of the Houses of Parliament, or "require " it to be overwhelmed by an ignominious crowd of new voices which they shall create ? Why, they are the party of the present holders of the Government ! They are the very men who cannot without a most dastardly desertion of duty, refrain from supporting, to the very utmost, those . things which they threaten to destroy. So monstrous an anomaly was perhaps never before seen in any State as the members of an executive Government and their friends threatening to endanger the existence of the first prin ciples of that Government, and that, too, in order to coerce an Opposition! This is worse than what the French call " a false position ; " it is a mostunnatural, a most dishonest position ; and if Ministers were not more successful in stifling the principles of duty, and ,he sentiments of political honour than they are in any thing else, they would be reminded at every instant of their public lives,. that they are in a position from which. they ought at once to extricate themselves— they would perceive that to be servants of the Crown, and leaders of disturbance—official guardians of the Constitution, and threateners of it with the pernicious force of popular excitement, is a combination of cha racters which cannot, in the nature of things, be exhi bited by honest statesmen. But if such contrariety of duty and conduct shows that they have little principle, it is clear that they have even less feeling—feeling of shame, for example. . Why, even we, who are not their frielidi, are ashamed of them when we reflect that being British Ministers, they and their party can do no better than become followers of such a leader as Mr. O'Connell. It were enough to be occa sionally obliged to him for his assistance, but to be nothing more than his subordinates is so degrading a thing that for the sake of Ministers themselves, we wish it were not so. And it is not that they are merely his subordinates, and endeavour to carry on the Government with continual reference to his views and interests, but they seem even ready to overthrow the Government with reference merely to his will.' So little policy have they of their own, that when Mr. O'Connell turns round upon the House of Lords, to which a majority of the Ministers belong, and threatens to abolish wholly the privilege by which they sit as Legislators, they do not utter a word of ob jection, but by their language give indirect countenance to his threats, and their press does so, as directly as words can do it. Can abject servility go beyond this? Should we have heard Lord Lansdowne appealing to "collision"- as his hope and expectation, or Lord John Russell arraigning their Lordships from his place in the House of Commons, but that Mr. O'Con nell had set the example, and that they were undeterred by any feeling of shame from following up his cry ? " Are we not to entertain the idea of reforming the Lords ?" exclaims the press of the King's Ministers. May we not answer, " Entertain it if you think it right and becoming so to, do, but let it be your own work—originated by you, followed up by you, and do not entertain it as the servile echoers of Mr. O'Connell's Irish shout of destruction to the House of Lords. If you have reasons of your own, put them forward on plain English grounds, 'and they shall have a fair trial after our English fashion. As it is, you but take up the O'Connell menace, you come before the public as the seconders of a proposi tion made by him in terms which are not only repulsive to the Constitutional principles, but insulting to the national feelings of Englishmen. You come at the back of a man who demands a Reform of the House of Lords, and plainly informs us that he has seven millions who will force, it, if it be not given without force. If this be your way of making known your idea of Reforming the Lords,' we will not so much as listen to you, for you do not deserve that attention." It is asked whether it be more irrational to Reform the Lords than it was to Reform the Commons ? We shall meet the question by another. Is it less irra tional to ask leave to tiring a Bill into the House of Commons to Reform the Lords, than it would have been to ask leave to bring in - a Bill to the House of Lords to Reform the Commons ? We are aware that the custom of the House of Lords does not require leave to be given before a Bill is brought in ; but we need not point out how instant would have been the objection on the part of the Commons had any intima tion been given that before submitting a plan of Re form of their House to them it was to be brought into the House of Lords in the form of a Bill. It seems to be but a reasonable privilege of the Houses of Parliament that the first step in Reforms of either House should be taken by that which the Re forms immediately concern. If another rule be admitted, all courtesy and cordiality between the Houses' must be lost. We are told by the Ministerial press that Mr. O'Connell does not bring in a' Bill to abolish the House of Lords, but to reform it. This is a notable defence truly, and with so much of the quibble in it that we could almost suppose it to be suggested by that lofty Statesman, the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The scheme of " Re form" which Mr. O'Connell has published with his name is an abolition of the House of Lords. He proposes that it should cease to be, and that an • elec tive assembly of less than one-third the number of the House of Lords should be substituted for it. He may call that assembly the House of Lords, and, therefore, the name would not ,be abolished, but that now sig nified by the name would. But, with all due defe rence to Mr. O'Connell, we beg to say, that when we in England want our House of Lords reformed, we shall take leave to have that reform proposed in some other way. We shall not require his assistance. We shall prefer some one with cleaner hands—some one who is not known to be the most unutterably despi c!,...b1e of public men. Granfing - , for the moment, that it is inereN "reform" of the House 011,w - di's which he is modest enough to demand, eve beg to tell him that befot that question can be entertained in Et -- 7 ~• F;tiimior ch;iracter land, son:: o„ , rank, must 1)C prevailed up l.o . 4 s CaCy.—Morning Post. 4 , • :; 7,1 • • • (.

(From the New London Price Current.) - COTTON. —The arrivals from the East Indies still continue to come in freely, nearly 13,000 bales having reached this port since last Tuesday—the prices still remain nominal, scarcely an)thing having been done since Friday. Liverpool Market dull, the sales last week 14,000 bales at lower prices towards the close. HOPS.--The prices remain steady, but there has been little business has been done, owing to the warm weather, the young Hops at the various plantations are looking extremely healthy. SPELTER.-The prices since Friday have advanced 40s. and 60s. per'ton ; extensive sales made on the spot and for for ward delivery at 231. and 241. Wool.-The demand for Wool continues to improve, and full prices paid. Two vessels have arrived from Sydney, with 600 bales of the new clip. SPICES.-In Spices there has been little done. Pepper and Cassia Lignea are held for advanced prices. At auction, this afternoon, 49 casks 35 chests Nutmegs offered, only three lots good bold Brown sold at 6s. 9d., and one lot ordinary at ss. 5d., rest taken in. 104 bags Pepper went at 41d. and 4d., good half heavy bright Malabar, full prices. SALTPILTRE.-The brisk request which existed for . this ar ticle in the middle of last week, has been suddenly checked by the extensive arrivals, nearly 24,000 bags having arrived in the river since last Tuesday ; and sales of Saltpetre, which had been previously made at 325., similar quality is now offered at 315., but without finding buyers, and some parcels for prompt payment have been sold at 30s. 6d. for 4 to 6 per cent. refrac tion. English Refined is dull of sale at the quotations. INDIC:M.-There has been more inquiry, but the limited business done in the Indigo Market at present have been con fined to small parcels of old quality at the rate of the late quarterly sale. Aacounts have been received from Calcutta to the 4th March, stating the crop at 108,300 Maunds, out of which only 55,000 Mauds would be shipped to England ; the prices there have risen 10 per cent. for the ordinary qua lities. The total deliveries of Indigo from the warehouses for home use for the week ending May 21st and 22d, 163 lbs. of East India, and 146 lbs. of West India. DYES. -At auction this afternoon 13 chests Lac Dye sold at Is. 21d. a Is. 3d.. 6 bags ordinary small silver Cochineal 7s. 3d. a 7s. sd. 5 serons Guatimala Indigo, 4s. Id. a 4s. 10d. all former rates. Rice.-Although the arrivals of East India have been large, still the demand has been brisk, principally for exporta tion, and stiffer prices obtained. 3,000 bags Bengal taken by the shippers at 12s. 6d. a 13s. 6d. for white of low and mid dling quality. Carolina is in fair request for shipping at 205., but there is little doing for the home trade. PROVISIONS.-The Irish Butter market has become dull, owing to the low price and large supply of Foreign; there has been but a limited supply for Dutch, and the arrivals have been extensive, fine qualities have declined 4s. a 6s. Sales of Friesland made at 845., the supplies since this day week have exceeded 8,400 casks. The English market is dull, but prices are not lower ; Bacon continues to sell freely, 1,500 bales forced upon the market for delivery in the next three months were eagerly taken, at 535. but there arc generally no sellers under 553. a 565. for prime small Waterford, landed or on board ; and Ms. for heavy. Lard has risen to 68s. a 70s. for prime Waterford bladders, and the trade has again been eager buyers. The Ham trade is extremely brisk. The Eng lish and Foreign Cheese market has been very lively, the town and country demand being great. India Beef and Pork is taken in small quantities by the home trade only. 'Faux w.-The Tallow market for parcels on the spot has been brisk, there having been a good demand from the town and country trade at 445. 3d. a 445. 6d. There are buyers for forward delivery at 453., but there being but few sellers under 455. 6d., not much has been done. Ten of the ships which were frozen in the ice during the winter, have arrived, having on board 5,000 casks. OILS.-There has been a brisk demand for all low descrip tions of Fish Oils for the north of England. There have been some arrivals of Black Oil since Friday, amounting to about 500 casks. The speculative demand for Sperm con tinues brisk at 75/. to 761. Linseed is neglected, owing to the immense arrival of Seed from the East Indies ; sellers at 41s. 6d. for parcels on the spot. In Rape there has been more doing, and 475. 6d. paid fur pale. LAc DYE. -There is a good and regular demand for this article at late prices. In Lac Lake a good deal has - been done for home use and on speculatiou. - • COCIIINEAL.-This article is looking better, more business done at prices fully equal to those of last public sales, even at which there are not generally sellers. COCOA. -British Plantation quiet, the Levant has arrived from Trinidad with 1,000 bags and 158 casks of the new crop. The Government contract advertised for 30 to 40 tons Brazil, causes holders to be firm. The total deliveries of West In dia Cocoa from the warehouses for home use for the week ending May 21st, are 11,515 lbs. 13 - • AN - I.DI, AND —9LLANDS.—TIIe Government contract which was announced last week had no offect upon the prices, for they continue steady, and there was a good deal done in second hand parcels by the trade, but owing to the scarcity of Jamaica, transactions to any extent were again prevented in first hand parcels—Geneva and Brandy in limited request, prices as last quoted. SUGAR.—The large arrivals near at hand of British Plan tation Sugar caused the demand from grocers and refiners to be very moderate last week, but the quantity on' show being small, holders succeeded in oktaining priees fully equal to those of this day week for the quantities disposed of, which did not exceed 800 hhds. and trs. There was no Market to day, owing to the Whitsun hoidays, but business will be re sumed to-morrow ; the deficiency in the stock is now very great, and should not all the vessels off the coast, about 14 in num ber, succeed in getting up, the deficiency in the stock next Tuesday will be 11,000 hhds. and trs., which together with the scanty stock held by the town and country trade, with the near approach of the Fruit season, when a great demand Will exist for Sugar, cause importers to hold their Sugars with much firmness. The supply of Refined goods at Market is, still scanty, but owing- to there having been little demand either from the shippers' or grocers, prices of the former descriptions arc a trifle lower ; some small parcels of Lumps to pass the standard sold for packing at 85s. long price, and some small parcels of Double Crushed at 435. 6d. a 445. ; Crushed Sugar of Dutch manufacture is offering at 435. 6d. The stock of West India Sugars is now 6,490 hhds. and trs., being 7,511 less than last year. The stock of Mauritius is now 73,701 bags, which is 48,216 less than last year, (including the East India Dock.) The delivery of West India last week was 2,044 hhds. and trs., which is 365 less than last year. The delivery of Mauritius was 8,542 bags, being 584 snore than the corresponding week of last year (including the East India Dock.) This day four vessels reported in the river with 809 hhds. and 85 trs. and brls. MAURITIUS.—No public sales have occurred since our last; there has been a good demand for parcels by private contract from the grocers at stiffer prices than those of Tuesday last ; the deficiency in the stock is now great. Four vessels have just arrived, having on board 18,976 bags. - - - UNIVERSITY IN T-ELLIGENCE. ,----,---- .. 07;roao, 'l;..ky 21. —This day being the la,,t day of E aster ''' vrm. the following decrees were conferred : ~ , „ owo.

The fall lasted till seven in the re e t he ing, and in the morning, the roads and other places, whe, ee ry water had a free current, were covered with this extraorai e substance.

The mountain s arc that e clothed with snow, and the cold continues so intense,„ be fears are entertained that the crovs and vegetation 'al' greatly injured.

Napier's History of the Peninsular War, we find the foi just and striking analysis of this most extraordinary Pei-5°,11(10: " In Buonaparte (says the reviewer) we see a man ish°";soe° tinguished abilities, favoured by extraordinary wallts,'; eve r him to the possession of the greatest power that o•':„, the been wielded by a single individual. But we see of blinded votary of selfish ambition, effecting in the se tope fourteen years, the destruction of that power by big ilite oaa l " rate use of it—yet retaining existence, to sink into the t the tion of a peevish caviller with a petty Governor ah°-thees merest trifles—clinging to the shadow of his former gre4akets when the substance was gone—and displaying of all the t sl oe attributed to him in the days of his prosperity, that which tainted them all, the talent of deceit."
