This being so, we may say that this year's delay—if we must submit to it—should be turned to the best use, by placing the question of Reform in such a position that the twelvemonths' consideration shall bear the fruit of a better measure than we coulctnow liOpe to pass on the instant, under.the ,cold shadow of an aristo cratic Coalition Cabinet.

That Lord Jolla &well should have been left free to propoSe, as an independent member of the house, a measure -Fm the admission of the Jews into Parliament wo' 111,1 have been; ..considering the. pa i sition in whilh Lord John Russell stands with regard to that question, only a natural and fair determination ; but We eau _ not see the slightest ground, or the least justitica- ' tion, for making:Of this subject a Cabinet question.. The Jews are exposed to no hardships by the with holding from them the privilege of sitting in Par litiment • they have perfect religious equality, per fect civil and commercial freedom ; and a Measure framed expressly for their admission involves, ne cesmrily, the infraction of a great religious and constitutional principle. The Legislature, we trust; will not, however, permit any Ministerial urgency to induce them to.swerve .from the position which they have taken upon this subject, and have hitherto consistently maintained. With regard to the other promised measures of the Government, we shall, without reference to party distinctions or party reminiscences, be pr;- pared, according to their merits, to consider, aii,i discuss them in an honest and independent spirit, and with an earnest regard, and heartfelt anxiety for the preservatiOn intact of the great principles of Conservative civil and ecclesiastical polity, to which, we believe, England . owes her greatness and her stability.

By sAmdEL WARREN, F.R 5., Ono of her Majesty's Counsel, and Recorder for hull. William Blackwood and Sons, Edinburgh and London. (From the Morning Advertiser. ) -- The oracle has spoken, but what a speech ! Lord .John Russell last night undertook to' submit to the House of Commons a programme iSf the con templated Ministerial policy of the session. But did the noble Lord discharge the duty which he thus engaged to perform ? There will be but one answer 'to the question. On many important sub jects which occupy the attention of the country, the Foreign Secretary literally said nothing. He did not even allude to them. And on those on which he did touch, the information he afforded will he felt by all classes to be scanty and unsatis factory to au extent which no one could have been prepared to expect. Anything more meagre and vague than the Observations of his Lordship, when he did say anything at all could not be imagined. Apart from the one great measure of which the country is to be baulked, and respecting which we shall have some observations to make presently, bhe Ministerial programme for the session does not pro mise anything which is likely to call forth the enthu siasm of the country. The measures indicated in the speech of the Foreign Secrei;ary may be enu merated in a few words. New Work by the Author of "Jane Eyre," "Shirley," Ste.

Sir,—As a low medical journal is endeavouring to mislead the public as to the birth and parentage of JAMES MOItISON, the Ilygeist, we be g to send the following for publicity. We are, sir, your obedient servants, Monisofe and Co. February, 1853. _BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH of JAMES MORISON, the 1117- G E IST, with the reasons that led him to the discovery of the Hy gei at r t,y stem of Medicine, and he" Vegetable Universal Medicines," after 35 years of inexpre.ssibla suffering under the Medical Faculty : J , 4ES MORISO..N, the youngent son of Alexander Morison, Esq., was born' at Ropie, in the county of Aberdeen, in the year 1770. The family ha , been long known as one of great affluence and re spectability, and the subject of this brie. sketch was the second brother of John Mel:soli, late member for Banf.shire. In early life he studied at the University of Aberdeen, and afterwards at Hunan, in Germany, , .being intended for the mercantile profession. After finishing his studiel he resided at Iliga, as a merchant, and sulve quently in the West Indies, where he acquired considerable Kest India property. Flavin suffered much from ill health, he was ob liged to leave that country and proceed to Europe, seeking from change of clime a restoration to health, It is now 25 years age, that, by his discovery and perseveran ce, he accomplished his own ex traord nary cure. We cannot do better than describe the following interesting par ticulars, given by himself in the " Mot isoniana :" ~ A 35 years' inexpressible ant/bring, both of body and mind, is an event, too, which falls bat to the lot of few, if of any at all. Had it pleased God to have coifed me out pt this world eight years ago, I should have died as another man, and been forgAton, and the world could bare reaped no benefit from my case and misfottunes, nor frt•ru thd favourable effects produced by the same means on my children.

The Government measures are no longer a matter of speculation. " You see your dinner," as the master of the house says at a family gathering, equally anxious to invite attention to the viands on the table and to warn against rash expectations. The public will not be disappointed, and certainly will not be astonished at the programme. What can be expected from Ministers who dropped from the Christmas-tree, and who are barely half-way through their first official quarter ? But, lest it should be thought that while we defend we depreci ate, we will say at once that we are perfectly satis fied with the bill of fare before us, even though it does not come up to German dimensions. All experi ence proves the dishonesty of promising much, for much cannot be done in one session. If the measures enumerated by Lord John Russell last night are tolerably well digested, and really pass into law, they will constitute an important mass of legisla tion. Taking them in the order in which they are described, and in which they are to be introduced, Lord John Russell announces a bill to enable the Canadian Legislature to deal with the clergy re serves, a pilotage bill, to be accompanied with ex planations on various other matters respecting the shipping interest, a bill for the removal of the Jewish disabilities, a measure, or a " proposal," as Lord John calls it, " which will tend to great improvements, and promote the cause of education throughout the country ;" a " proposition" with respect to the Uniirersities of Oxford and Cam bridge and the recent commissions of inquiry, an educational measure affecting Scotland, a "pro posal" with respect to the system of secondary punishments, in order to supply the place of trans portation to the Australian colonies, which her Majesty's Ministers have determined to stop forth with ; a Landlord and Tenant Bill for Ireland, of a nature to settle that much agitated question— and nothing more this session. Immediately on the opening of the session of 1854, Lord John hopes to introduce a measure of Parliamentary Reform, which, however, he cannot undertake to say will be much more comprehensive than that of last year ; and he also trusts he may then be able to put the income tax on a more satisfactory and permanent footing. Such we believe to be the 'substance of Lord John's statement last night. Here and there the hint of a measure may have escaped our attention, or our pen, but we have at least given the chief heads of the work cut out for the session. Some of those measures are of sufficient mag nitude to distinguish a session that did nothing else of a progressive or remedial character. To provide a good substitute for penal colonies, to devise a plan that would secure the means of education for all without trenching upon reli gious liberty or truth, to make the Universities really open and national institutions, and to give Irish tenants a tithe of what they expect without abolishing the interest of the landlord, are works severally enough for one year—not to say one Administration. To be candid, we do not expect to see it all done by next August. None of these things are done in a hurry. We have to consider not merely whether Parliament will have time to exhaust half a dozen important subjects in as many months, but whether it will be able to do so in addition to all the other subjects which will be forced on its at tention by hostile or independent legislators. Ireland will come in for a good deal. The Parlia mentary and Financial Reformers will have their say out. There are nearly two hundred new mem bers who will have to prove the wisdom of their electors,r on some subject or other. The agricultural b yspeaking interest will not be wholly silent. Cardinal Wiseman and Maynooth have already been mentioned. The Crystal Palace is to be opened this summer' either on Sunday or not. Sir Benjamin Hall and the Marquis of Bland ford are already at work on Church property and episcopal incomes. The Ecclesiastical Courts are really to have something done with them as soon as a pending inquiry is concluded. Such are a few of the seeds of prospective legislation dropped on the waters last night in the space of one brief hour, for the house was up at ten minutes past 6. Ve had almost forgotten that there are a hundred and thirty election petitions, some of them involving nice questions, and all of them likely to bring out the fact of considerable bribery and corruption. With all this before us, are we wise or not to be satisfied with' the moderate con. , tents of the Ministerial programme ? f t b o h r e e r sbhu. house, u his s W e h We know how idle it is t o offer advice to inde- P i m n een r d n be d nert ou clu t ar o eeni f hw a o t hbeb d ny o e; e v s oe nr ai which h s i n chi te h p h eeunmrdi humours t rs to do so ?

The difference of opinion formerly existing in reference to Emigra tion is now completely removed. No one doubts the expediency and advantages of Emigration, but the expense is the principal conside ration with everyone contemplating a change of country and pursuits. It is scarcely credible how small an amount will procure an Outfit at E. MOSES and SONS; it is also Impossible for any class of Emi grants to obtain the articles they will require, so good or so cheap as they are offered at the Outfitting Establishment of E. MOSES and SON. The attention which every Emigrant requires is provided for by a separate department being kept for Outfitting.

If the Go lature of which there is not a conceivable chance vernment are able to secure the country both from that they can be passed this session, invasion and 'from panic, without any further ad ditions -to the public burdens, even Peace agitators will admit that the policy of England is not yet wholly directed by the voice of the legions. In the meanwhile, another class of politicians will re member, with satisfaction, that Lord Palmerston is intrusted with the control of the militia, that Sir James Graham is at the Admiralty, and Mr. Sidney Herbert at the War-office. It was probably in deference to the Committees now sitting on the affairs of India that Lord John Russell omitted to mention a question incompa rably more important than any other which awaits the decision of Parliament. It must not be as sumed that the preparation of the new Charter will be postponed until next session. It is well that time should be allowed for arousing the public interest respecting a topic too generally neglected by politicians ; but it could scarcely be hoped that, during the conflict which will probably arise on the measure for Parliamentary Reform, both Houses could find leisure to deliberate calmly on the future institutions of our Eastern Empire. The statement that the Ministers have deter mined to deal both with the question of education, from the parish school to the University, and with the law of landlord and tenant in Ireland, proves that they are not disposed to shrink from labour or responsibility. It is obviously impossible to an nounce with accuracy their future measures on these subjects, and it is undesirable to publish con jectures which can be only partially correct. It speaks well, however, for the permanence of the Government, that its members have already made up their minds on subjects so replete with difficulty. The obstacles to the establishment of a system of registration, and to the reform of the Ecclesiastical Courts, are of a different nature. There is no dis pute about the existing evils attending defective titles to land, and cumbrous tribunals for adminis tering testamentary justice. Experience shows the difficulties which impede any practical measure of reform, but no controverted principle is at stake. In matters of this kind, energy and determination are needed ; but still higher qualities are required in any statesman who would deal successfully with the plausible theories and the honest prejudices which embarrass every project for national ethica -1 tion. If the Opposition consults either the public good or its own party interest, no vexatious resistance will be offered to the bulk of the Ministerial pro posals. The arguments against the claims of the Jews are known by rote, and may in the present session be advantageously condensed. The May nooth debate will afford a sufficient vent for any theological bitterness which may stand urgently in need of expression. It may be hoped that, on the Canadian question at least, those who may differ from the policy of the Government will deal with the subject as statesmen, remembering that other interests are at stake besides those of a provincial religious establishment. The first debate of the session will illustrate the temper of the house, and will go far to determine the public judgment on the comparative wisdom and patriotism of con tending parties. , (From the Morning Post.) Seldom, perhaps, have a new Government settled into office so smoothly and so quietly. Never has a political coalition come into power under circum stances so favourable for the fusion of diverse ele ments. Their accession to the administration of affairs is not the result' f any great party triumph. They find, consequently,' no great party in avowed and direct hostility to them, with whom they are, on the very threshold of their career, to be com pelled to join issue on some great political prin ciple ; and there is, notwithstanding the efforts of the Manchester sect, no agitation afloat.. The new Cabinet, therefore, have full time and ample space to direct their attention, with Ont any serious dis turbance' to a large number of44subjecte, the enter tainment of which,: although `actually •of prithary importance, will not awaken or call into play the differing opinions which the respective members of the Cabinet have avowed, and doubtless . Still main ain. (From the Morning Herald.) Things have come to a pretty pass. They are, however, exactly in the position in which we anti cipated they would be when Lord Derby's Govern ment resigned in December last. The shabby, unprincipled, and motley g roup by whi c h th e l a t e Administration was ousted, at a period, when, for Imperial interests, its ability was most influential and useful, made manifest their past purposes and their present intentions at the re-opening of the Legislative Chambers yesterday. Their past pur poses (an unprincipled coalition destined to any course of action) were undeniably rendered clear by the fact that there was no comm on ground on which the group were consentient, save two—the first, a coalition to defeat and deprive of the offices which they had never sought—a British—a patrio tic Government ; the second a betrayal of those principles which Great Britain has marked espe cially to be her own—her Protestant Christianity. To turn out by any means the Government of Lord Derby, and to un-Christianise the Parliament of Britain, are the only disclosures in reference to the past and the present which were condescended by Ministers in both houses last night. At an early period a measure is to be introduced to remove Jewish disabilities ! Lord Derby, in a speech which well became him, invoked, in the Souse of Lords, a friendly conces sion from the Premier—a statement of the intended measures of the Government--professing that which every man who knows Lord Derby is aware was onounced with a thorough feeling of sincerity, his anxiety to support and to forward every scheme of policy which he should deem to be correct—dis daining faction—proclaiming himself the sinc6re friend of progress in its legitimate sense, and de claring his desire to promote any honest and well matured measures of the .Administration, if there were any. What was the response to this ? We quote our Parliamentary reporter. After the statement of the late Premier, and the becoming reply of the present First Lord of the Treasury, which will be found in another column, thus stands our report " The Earl of Derby.—l always understood that col leagues in one house were ready to answer for col leagues in the other ' • and I am sure that the noble lord in the other house would not take the step of announcing measures without the consent of the noble earl. I shall limit !myself, however, to ask what Are the measures which the noble earl intends to submit to this house in the present session.? " There was no answer. "The Earl of Derby.—Am I to understand that si lence means none. (Laughter). With the sanction of my noble friend on the cross benches, I again ask what measures are intended to be laid before the house ? " The Earl of Aberdeen made a remark across the table which was altogether inaudible in the gallery. " The house then adjourned at a few minutes after half past six o'clock." Thus, then, we are driven to the House of Com mons for a solution of that which appeared to be so riddled as to be inextricably enigmatical in the Upper House, wherein the Premier (if there) usually holds the privilege of answering all ques tions in reference to the purposes of his Adminis tration. What, then, was the tone of the leader of the Lower House ? We desire our readers to dwell upon the statement (detailed in our report) of the noble lord the member for London. What has the nation gained by the coalition ? A promised system of finance, the p r i nc i p l es o f w hi c h are ye t undecided upon The happ y f am ily i s still (a n d will remain so) at tooth and nail as to the princi ples and details of its financial project. One great bone of contention—the income tax—is still so ut terly unpicked, that no jackal of the motley group can know when his master (who is he ?) may throw it to him comparatively clean ; and thus parlia mentary reform, the boon promised to be given to democracy, is thrown over for another session; or to the Greek kaleuds, as the case may be. Will the nation stand this ? Will England show so great a swallow as to take down, as the only alkali to the possible acid to be propounded by the present Popish, of all that is un-English Puseyite, pro-democratic Government—theoPf the noble lord the member for Nonconformist, „TB London. Up Britain ! Up Protestantism ! ! The time has arrived when there should be no mistake. Equi vocal professions or positive silence is not the part of the Premier of our free nation amongst his peers. His colleague in the House of Commons is unequi vocal in his declarations. In the Lords, the only measures propounded or hailed with satisfaction are those placed upon its table by the great Chancellor of the late Administration. In the Commons the only measures promised are --an income tax, the principle of which is yet a bone of contention in the Cabinet, and a bill to un - Christianise our Parlia ment. Great Britain and a large portion of Ireland will know how to instruct their representatives. olookingw erof (Frain the Morni ng Ch ronicle.) presc r ibi ng th e po li cy solely to their party which their opponents should v l opt, they would i n t l e f r e i s h t e s , M h a i c il i l the r s p , certainly desire Lord Derby to' l maintain the pug nacious attitude which he so 3 tuitously and im prudently assumed last night. le the traditional Irishman of the extinct DonnYbtook Fair, the ex- Premier went forth to seek fora . provocation, and came back indignant at experia te i n _ g no ill-treat ment. He did not ask, he said,: for a statement of the Ministerial policy, inasmuch as Lord Aberdeen had anticipated that demand two months ago. Not, indeed, that the explanation then given was, in Lord Derby's judgment, . satisfacto r y ; b ut if it were repeated, it would probably be found equally objectionable. Yet it was necessary to discover some ground for complaint ; an d.the.leader of the Opposition attempted t o base a grievance on the silence of the Minister in the 14 —olise of Lords as to the order in which the business was to be laid be fore the other branch of the Legislature. In strict form, the Upper House can take no. cognisance of any measure which is not actniQlrbefere it, nor is it possible for any Government it. assign a time for the transmission of bills from the one assembly to the other. Lord Aberdeen was, in fact, asked to commit a technical irregularity, for the purpose of communicating information of which every peer who might entertain any curia on the subject would be in possession before he we n t to dinner. Frivolous assaults, conducted in this spirit, will at the same time consolidate thq party which sup ports the Government, and re (party the c ons t ruct i on of a serious Opposition impossible. Lord John Russell's calm and business -like state ment of the measures to be,,brought forward b y the Government will have satisfied all moderate men as to the expediency of pni 0,.A pong the s u bj ec t of Parliamentary Reform. ,le Canad a Cl ergy Reserves Bill must be settle 4 immediately ; the excite abolitioconsiderable dis c dun of the Jewish issi o sabiliti es w il l, no doubt, i , ..... ;, and the extension. of education, ,the pressing que'stion of secondary ' punishments in lieu of transposrtation, and, above all, the financial scheme for the year, will amply occupy the time and attention of Parliament. The Bills for improving the administration of the law P are judiciously entrusted to the Lord Chancellor, (Front the Daily News.) Lord John Russell's Ministerial explanation con , tains much ground for congratulation—but much also for regret. It 'is u course agreeable ,to: us--- must be equally-so . es-many of our-readers—to find the new Government come forward, on the opening night of the session,' to say they mean to carry into operation many practical reforms long urged upon public and legislative attention in these columns. We, and thousands with us, must be glad to see that many arguments of the Daily News in favour of practical reforms are about to be crowned at last by Ministerial action. It is satisfactory to learn that the Cabinet contem plate the abolition of transportation to Australia, and mean to give up to the Canadians their un doubted—but long disputed—right to settle , the question of the clergy reserves in their own Legis lature. It is gratifying to hear a Minister of the Crown announce the intended reform of the taxes on shipping—and declaring a determination to ex tend education, and to legislate on the subject of the civil disabilities of the Jews. All these things must be sources of congratulation and applause. But indicating. the measure in which praise should be given, it will be needful to learn how far these improvements are to be thoroughly carried out. This is especially necessary in reference to shipping, and will be little less so in relation to the steps to be taken on the subject of Education, and on the plan of secondary punishment now in store as a substitute for transportation. Still on all these points there remains, as the matter now stands, a balance of reason for congratulation, to be set up against the disappointment inevitable on the decla ration that we are to have no improvement in the income tax, and that,—urgent as are our needs for electoral reform,—no measure on the subject is to be introduced till next year. The heartiest " hear, hear" that greeted, last night, any one of Lord John Russell's topics of explanation in the house, arose when he first referred to Parliament ary reform. Altogether his statement was re ceived with great attention,—and silence. No enthusiasm was manifested. A cheer bespoke the legislative interest on education ; another greeted the intimation that additional soldiers were not deemed requisite, but no other sign worth notice enlivened the polite, but apparently, disapp o i n t e d attention with which Lord John Russell's explana tion, as a whole, was received. The silence of the house over these Cabinet disclosures is not likely to be imitated by the country. The people—when they see the weakness of the reform element in the present Ministry,—may think fit to take such steps as may seem best to strengthen that section of the Cabinet who would do most for the public, and to teach the laggards the dangers begotten of broken pledges. It is difficult to relinquish the belief that the Minister who was last night the mouth-piece of the Cabinet can heartily concur in the postponement he announced. Lord John Russell, when himself Prinie Minister, brought 'into the' house a bill for electoral reform. Be, therefore, cannot plead ignorance either of the ills to be cured, 'or of the means by which such cure might be effected. He has been a parliamentary reformer long enough to know alike intimately the need for change, the in terests involved iu such alterations, .the prejudices to be met, the cliques to be bra ve d, and the good to be done. To rind him,' therefore, standing up in his place in Parliament to say we are to have no sign on the subject till the opening of the next ses sion of Parliament looks very like the liberal ele ment of the present. Cabinet. having been almost swamped by its more reactionary section. It may, and will doubtless be said, in reply to this sugges tion, that the people are themselves indifferent on this subject. That the present affluence of the country—the increased price of labour—the readi ness with which all claimants for occupation may gain it—the hearty flow of emigration to the newly found land of gold—have conspired to make men patient for a time about internal changes is doubt- less clear enough. That' these varied influences • have been at work to divert a portion of public attention from urgent political discUssicin is to some extent true, but:those who urge this as ample reason for a perfect electoral stand-still are most lamentably out in their reckoning. To say we want no Change is tantamount to-saving that poli tical feeling is dead, - which, is certainly not the case. The 'country though prosperous and calm, is not indifferent. The plethora of wealth has not acted like a plethora Of wine,: and stupefied' the nation. On the contrary; the changed condition of the ' people, by giving them more business to do, and more wealth to win, has inclined them more than The Government have, in our opinion, exercised ever to crave that political position which the a wise discretion in taking advantage of this unusual theory of the constitution declares to be their right. state of things, and postponing, at all events till Men hungry and desperate may be feared , for r io another year, the only great constitutional question lence, but men prosperous and full are far more po which would necessarily develope every difference of litically dangerous to any clique or combination political opinion which exists in the Cabinet, the who may stand in their way.

In other words, we are to have a scheme of national education. This is a ques tion in which the public has long felt a profound interest. It is a question of great difficulty. If the Aberdeen Administration bring forward a mea sure of national education which will command the confidence of the country, they will,. indeed, be in a position to boast of having achieved something meritorious. But we have great doubts on the sub ject. We shall, however, not condemn the intended measure before we have seen it. When it is fairly before the country, Nye shall not be slow to express our opinion of its character. The question of transportation to Australia is one which has occupied the attention of the Coalition Cabinet during the recess, and the conclusion at which Ministers have arrived, is that no more con victs shall be sent either to that part of our colo nial possessions, or to Van Diemen's Land. This was the course which Lord Grey meant to propose to the last Parliament, but the sudden extinction of the Cabinet of which he was a member, pre vented the noble lord from carrying his views into effect. In conjunction with the resolution of Mi nisters to put au end to the transportation of con , victs to Australia, we are promised the careful con sideration of the Whole question of secondary punish ments. The question of law reform has also occupied the attention of the new Government, and we are promised further advances in that direction, in the course of the session. A bill for further law re forms is to be brought in, in a few days by the Lord Chancellor. The financial statement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer is not to be brought forward till after the Easter recess. What we are to have then, in the way of novelty, if anything at all, has not been permitted to transpire. Ireland is not to be forgotten in the legislation of the session.. Lord John Russell informed the house that it is the intention of the Government to move for the appointment of a select committee to consider the landlord and tenant question, in that country. Last of all, the noble 10111 came to the question of questions,—the question of Parliam en t ar y re form. And here, we regret to say, the new Govern ment have broken faith with the country. As the Times stated a few days ago, and as we informed our readeri more than two months since, we are to have no RefOrm Bill this year. When we first ammounaed that Ministers had come to a resolution not to have any Reform Bill this session, the public could hardly give credence to the statement. Nor was it willing to believe the fact that it could be so, when the Times reiterated last week, what we had affirmed eight weeks before. Nor can we wonder that the country was loth to believe that the new Ministry, every one of whose members had given a solemn assurance, either in Parliament or on the hustings, that we were to have a liberal measure of reform,--could be guilty of so flagrant a breach of faith with the public as the-postponement of the Reform Bill involves. Such conduct is deeply to be deplored on the ground of public morals. It not only impairs, but it destroys all confidence in pub lic men. It is melancholy to behold so many per sons as those . which constitute the Aberdeen Government all concur in practising a deception on the country. The people, it now turns out, were too confiding. They carried their gene rosity to excess. Ministers asked for a fair trial. They implored the country not to prejudge them. They beg g ed to be allowed to develope, the policy they intended to pursue before they were condemned. We acquiesced in the reasonableness of the request, and intimated our readiness to grant them the fair trial which they demanded. The country did the same. 'They have had their trial. They have been allowed to announce their policy. They have been tried, and found wanting. The event has shown that the country's confidence was misplaced. We say all this with sorrow. It would have seen ieasre t tshch Aberdeen i _ g i i dm ven il us iist gi ra - t e i a o t n ple i T i u n r g e to forwardhave measures would have justified us in giving them our support. They have, however, determined on not taking one step in the path of popular progress. The country will the Derby Government e n d ow by as t k h , e and ojeot a io sk n with gained reason, what we hav e from office ? What single measure is there to be found in the Aberdeen-Russell programme of last night which Lord Derby and Mr. Disraeli would not have given us ? We have had a change of men, but we are to have no change of measures. This is really, as a former Premier once remarked, " too bad." It is not only a gross breach of faith with the country, but it constitutes an outrage on the national understanding. It is a most unwarrant able trifling with the people of England. It as sumes that they may be deceived, and yet not be aware of it. We fear that the consequences of the Ministerial developments of last night will be of a very serious kind. There will be a reaction in the public mind. The existing tranquillity will be succeeded by scenes of excitement and agitation which we would much rather not be fated to witness. The mingled amazement and coldness with which Lord John Russell's speech was received by the house, ought to have been regarded by his lordship as an ear nest of the feeling with which that speech will be received in the country. The disappointment will be deep and universal. So will be the indignation which the speech will evoke. And, as if it had not been enough to tell the House of Commons, and through it the country, that we are to have _no Reform Bill this year, Lord John Russell was at great pains to disclaim the idea of ever having promised to give a more liberal measure of representative reform than his bill of last session.
