SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. We regret to have to announce that his Ma jesty was attacked yesterday at Ascot Races, by an expelled Greenwich pensioner, who threw two large stones at his Majesty, one of which struck him on the forehead. In another column our readers will find an account of the particulars of this outrage, which amounts, we believe, to the crime of High Treason. The man had been ex pelled the Hospital for misconduct, and gives out that he had petitioned successively the Admiralty and King to be restored, without effect, and that he was determined to have his revenge. Happily his Majesty, though he fell back on receiving the blow, received no serious injury from it, owing, we understand, to the protection derived from his hat. Attempts will, no doubt, be made to connect this outrage with the events of the day. As well might the murder committed by Cook, of Leicester, be attributed to that cause. The man himself does not seek to varnish over his crime by any pretended public motive. Despe rate and reckless, he selected his Majesty for attack, as Bellingham did Mr. Perceval because he had not obtained the relief he anticipated.— We are satisfied that his Majesty may at this moment proceed from one end of his kingdom to the other, in full reliance en the loyal pro tection which he would everywhere receive from all classes of his subjects. There is not a man in the kingdom who will not feel indignant at read ing the account of this crime, and who would not risk his life to prevent a repetition of it. The people of England spurn the idea, not merely of violence, but of want of respect to the King, towards whom individually they entertain the most grateful feelings, and whose sacred office they hold in the highest reverence. But it would be offering an insult to the nation, to suppose for a moment any efforts of ours necessary to repel the accusation against any part of the po pulation sympathising with this atrocious act, should any such be made. It is the glory of this nation, that one of the greatest changes ever made in the constitution of a country has been made without bloodshed, and with few excesses. If, during the mo mentous and long-continued struggle, which has terminated in the triumph of Reform, we have to reproach ourselves with few excesses, hardly irregularities, surely we shall not now dis grace our victory by cowardly insults to the van quished. We would therefore impress on all who possess influence, to use it in checking— not acts of personal violence towards the King, for the lowest rabble would shrink from them— but such brutal insults as that offered to the Duke of Wellington in the city on Monday. We must say that it reflects little credit on the police of the city, that a set of low black guards should be allowed to continue their in sults from the very heart of the city to Lin coln's-inn with impunity. It is a disgrace to the city, that, with the evidence before their eyes of the successful working of the police of the rest of the metropolis, they should have clone so little to improve theirs. Really Parliament ought to take this matter up, if the City legis lators should longer neglect their duty.—Morn ing Chronicle. We are glad to hear that the insidious and in terested attempts to smother inquiry into the affairs of the Bank, and smuggle a prema ture decision in the Committee have failed, and that the Government is determined to sift this important matter to the bottom, not withstanding that it may be convenient for Sir Robert Peel and Mr. Herries to draw a veil over the effects of their bad legislation and too long course of misgovernment. It would indeed have been a monstrous insult on the nation, and most detrimental to the interests of the great mercantile classes of the kingdom, if this mo mentous subject, involving the currency and mo netary system of the whole realm, had been sacrificed to the sinister views of a small corpo ration, and to screen the acts of former Cabi nets and unreformed Parliaments. We under stand that every disposition now exists to receive unprejudiced and pertinent evidence, and that the country bankers will be allowed to state their views, and to clear themselves from the absurd and scandalous aspersions cast upon them by those who, with the cry of " Stop thief" on their smooth and oily tongues, had been the real legislative depredators of the public. A very numerous assembly of country bankers, representing the banking interest of the agricultural and com mercial classes, constitutes a London De putation, and sits daily in the metropolis —up wards of one hundred members of different firms of country banks—to watch the proceedings of the Committee and the Directors of the Bank of England. The public mind is, therefore, fully excited by the importance of this monetary inquiry, and we entertain no doubt that the country will be satisfied with the result. We could not, for a moment, believe that the money mongers and ci-devant official men could pre vail on Lord Althorp to lend himself to a plot for continuing, or even extending, according to ,3ome reports, a monopoly such as that of the Bank of England, or could delude his excel lent common sense and honesty by curtailing the investigation of a complex and difficult subject which so vitally concerns the pecuniary situa tion—present and future—of every merchant and trader, and the vast mass of labour in Great Britain and Ireland. The question must be thoroughly probed ; and no cunning devices of the old tribe of politicians and ex-placemen Fnust be allowed to prevail. We are glad to see our contemporaries also alive to the vital importance of the subject.—Morning Chronicle. That eminent charlatan and political moun tebank, Mr. Sadler, is enough to damn any cause which he meddles with, however good. The warmest advocates of the poor laws in principle cannot support the motion of a man who, in every word he utters, displays the most absurd pedantry and a bsolute ignorance. Even his good conclusions are drawn from bad premises, and from good premises he extracts wrong-headed conclusions. With him, these " humanity motions " are mawkish sensibilities, and pegs on which he contrives to hang high-sounding words of cha rity—mere baits to the multitude, and election eering clap-traps. He is the locomotive philan thropist of the Tories—the machine which drags them through all their bad and miry roads of puling legislation. His sentimental pedantry is as disgusting as his school-boy affectation of learning ; a fanatical imagination, and retail deal ing in his own paste and scissors books, consti tute his entire stock in trade in politics. In a reformed Parliament, his common wares will be disposed of at prime cost, and we predict, that in the second Parliament, at least, he will retire from the business of a Legislator. It is exces sively ludicrous to see that this eminent political pedant was adopted by the boroughmongers as a " great card" to rank with those " fine young men of education and family," whom the god father of sucki% legislators—Sir Robert Peel— termed the great preserve of British Senators. ' The patience of a reformed Parliament will soon be exausted by the methodistical orations and long diatribes of this vain rhapsodist. The sub ject of the Poor Laws must be taken out of such canting hands by men who can do it prac tical justice, or the political Matmorm will bring it into disrepute. The charlatanism of Mr. Sadler is a soil in which no good legislation can grow. We believe few things contributed more to the speedy settlement of the Catholic Question than the long sermons and verbose discourses of this north-country preacher. The Hon. Member, too, as well observed by Mr. Stanley, appeared more anxious to display his continued adherence to the principles of humanity and benevolence he had professed, than to further the work of giving Poor Laws to Ireland. He had shrunk from the difficulties of the undertaking ; for notice of his intention to bring in a Bill had been entered on the order-book ; ° but the notice had been altered within the last few days for a resolution of the most vague description. We have always advocated poor laws, as essential to the establishment of order in a country. It is for the interest of the rich themselves that the poor should not be driven to desperation. The arguments of Mr. O'Connell on the subject, have always struck us as peculiarly untenable. Mr. O'Connell said— " He did not believe that there was a worse species of practical infidelity than that of a system which dammed up the sources of Christian charity into the narrowest channels, and took away its power of flowing freely among the habitations of the wretched. He denied that there was any right of the poor to be supported by the rich—he denied the right of any man to put his hand into the pocket of any other man to obtain his own support. The only right of this kind was where a man left the poor his heirs, in which case they really had a right, hut there the limit of the right stopped. In all other circumstances men ought to be left to the natural sources of charity, and if there were no poor laws, there would be no end of those sources." We may observe that all property is held subject to such obligations as the peace and good order of society demand, and that it is taking a nisi-prius and not a legislatorial view of the question to consider it with reference to the rights of particular classes. 'We do not give the poor man a right to put his hand into his pocket of the rich ; but for the same reason that we allow individuals to possess and trans mit property—namely, the good of society— we declare that individuals shall not be allowed to remain in a state of destitution, without the means of obtaining relief. Ireland affords the best answer to all who wish the poor to be without a legal provision for their relief. There is no lack of charity in that country, most as suredly, but the rich withdraw themselves from it, and landlords trust to the competitions of starving multitudes for high rents, instead of availing themselves of the labour of the people in judicious improvements to improve their in comes through increased production. The poor laws would diminish the competition for land, and compel landlords to look to increased in comes from the beneficial employment of la bour in improvements.—Morning Chronicle. We have refrained from noticing the Fac tories' Regulation Bill, introduced into the House of Commons by Mr. Sadler, not from any doubt that we entertained as to its im portance, nor from any lukewarmness towards the object the Honourable Member has in view (which object Ministers, with all their boasted solicitude for the welfare of the people, have en deavoured to thwart, by granting only a Com mittee above stairs, which they regarded as a ready method of getting rid of an inconvenient measure), but from an anxiety to obtain exten sive information as to its working in a commer cial point of view, for as a n - ritsure of humanity there can be but one opinion. When Orders are issued restricting the hours of labour for the negroes in the West Indies to nine hours a day, which from circumstances is an impracticable regulation, and which has con sequently brought the Islands into a state of angry collision with the Government little short of open defiance, it is surely due to the labouring children of the Mother Country that their hours of work should be restricted. Upon the score of humanity then we dismiss the Bill, and merely look at its advantages as politicians, not as philanthropists. Probably one of the most embarrassing questions' for a statesman to con sider, with reference to the commercial relations of this country, is the facility with which goods are manufactured, and the ready means that not only are always at hand, but which must be con stantly kept in operation, to glut the markets. e are now the more especially adverting to the cotton manufacture. The improvements in the machinery incessantly going on, the extent of the establishments engaged in it, the capital em ployed, the population labouring in it, and the almost innumerable stimulants if not the positive necessity on the part of masters to increase stocks of goods, render any effort that can safely be resorted to in order to check the evil of over production a most important and obvious be nefit. However, there can be no doubt that the country—as regards its manufacturing relations —is on the horns of a dilemma. Its powers of production are so immense that they reduce the profits of master manufacturers to a point not re munerative, and the wages of the operative to a scale that raises him only just beyond the wretch edness of destitution, whilst the great policy of the nation, so long as she is emulous of com peting with foreign States, is to encourage every mechanical invention that is likely to give effect l i to that vast object. It is upon this point, as indirectly relieving the country from the pressure of the dilemma to which we have referred, — that we hail, with great satisfaction, Mr. Sadler's Bill, because, by regulating the hours of labour within certain limits that humanity points out, it at the same time ob structs in a degree that tremendous over-pro duction that is causing such severe distress to the manufacturing interest. The opponents of this measure are endeavouring to make it a party question. The Whigs, indeed, are always ready with their professions of feeling for the " people, but ever 'backward in rendering them essential service. We trust, however, notwith standing all the sinister efforts of the pseudo philanthropists to thwart the object of Ay. Sadler, he will succeed and carry his Bill. One argument against it is that when foreign orders come in that are to be executed by a cer tain day-masters could not get through them un der the contemplated restrictions. Our answer to this is that foreigners are jealous of the commercial eminence of England, and they never come to us when they can avoid it. They undoubtedly require the goods they order, and there fore they will wait the time of the English manufacturer. The evil of over production can scarcely be endured as regards the support of operatives in the calmest season of commercial affairs, and when there is no impediment in the way of the sale of goods, or of the regular chan nels of trade. But when interruptions arise, as has recently been the case, to the . progress o f trade, the pressure upon operatives is excessive. The Indian market is glutted with English ma nufactured goods ; the West Indies are in a state of confusion quite at variance with com mercial enterprise ; and the ports of Spain, Por tugal, Holland, and the Mediterranean are, even up to this period, if not actually closed against British vessels,receiving scarcely any British goods. Under these circumstances every attempt to check the over production of manufactured goods by legitimate means is highly desirable. The feeling of the community seems to be arous ed in favour of this benevolent measure of Mr. Sadler, which, in spite of the sinister opposition of the Ministers and their friends, we trust that we shall see the law of the land before the end of the present Session.—Morning Post. It is to be hoped that Lord Althorp will not give way to the importunities of the Bank of England, and its partisans, for a speedy, that is, an imperfect and mischievous decision upon the terms on which the Bank charter ought to be renewed. An inquiry hurried on at such a moment as this, when the Parliament is about to expire, and terminated so as to preclude a House of Commons chosen freely by the bulk of the nation from exercising any shadow of judgment upon a question, which immediately affects the pecuniary interest of every individual throughout the United Kingdom, would have so much the appearance of a gross collusion with the Bank Directors, and a dirty and serville job on the part of the Alinisters, that it is impossible to believe Lord Althorp capable of lending it the smallest support. It is needless now to en ter minutely upon the conduct or demerits of the Bank of England. The public does no more than insist on time being given to consider the adverse claims of that establishment and of the country, before the people of England shall become pledged irrevocably to a continuance of a power in the Bank, exclusive and enormous— productive at once of the most dreadful profusion in the Government, the most ruinous vicissitudes in private life, and the most fatal convulsions in the currency and in public credit. A branch, and an important one, of the power as yet enjoyed by the Bank, has been that of concealing the state of its own affairs, while it exercised an arbi trary and boundless control, by means of that concealment, over the property and prosoerity of the entire nation. There is nothing on record more provoking or digusting than this. Only conceive the pretensions of any set of men to raise or depress the value of every man's estate by limiting or enlarging indefinitely the amount of their own paper obligations, while they arrogantly refuse to let m one ray of light upon the amount or nature of those funds on which depends their capability of discharging such obligations. These men, these bank directors, have at all times intrusted to them some millions of the public money. They have, through the repu tation derived to them from their known cha racter of Government bankers, means of obtain ing unlimited credit for whatsoever notes they may issue. The directors, and their friends and " dependents on the favour of the house," pos sess among them such a monopoly of Bank stock, that at the half-yearly meetings it is ut terly vain for a proprietor, not being one of the clique, to move for an inspection of the books, which would explain to him the present condi tion of his own property, and to the public the degree or nature of reciprocal engagement sub sisting between the Minister o f the day and the Bank of England, both of whom are, in their re spective capacities, agents and trustees for the na tion. Yet, had such a power of examination into the affairs of the Bank of England been established by the letter of the charter —not, indeed, granted to a vote of the majority of Proprietors, but en forced against them for the sake of the minority and of the public itself,—we need scarcely ask, whether some of the most disastrous and dis graceful events in the history of the last 40 years could have happened ? If the Bank charter had been so framed that at each half-yearly meeting a debtor and creditor account of its transactions must of necessity have been produced, would it have been possible for Mr. Pitt co proceed with his system of begging, exacting, domineering, and plundering, until h e h a d reduced the sub servient creatures of the "parlour" to the neces sity of shutting up shop, and the people to that of taking their insolvent and depreciated paper for the lawful currency of the realm ? Gould, we repeat, by any human ingenuity, any financier on earth have led on the Directors of the Bank of England in 1797, from one step of improvi dence to another, until the whole business ended in a total smash, and a reduction of about one third in the fortune of every man in the commu nity, had but the single proviso made part of the Bank charter,—that the proprietors or mas ters should be allowed an insight into all that the Directors, or deputies and servants, were doing ? So, we desire to ask whether the tremendous issues at the beginning of 1825 could have taken place, or whether the commercial earth quake of that calamitous year and the fol lowing winter, would not have been altogether avoided, had the accounts of the Bank of England encountered the same publicity as those of France and of North America, and thus a previous control been imposed upon, first, the extension, and next, the contraction of the issues ? The Bank of England must no longer skulk in mystery. There is nothing got by such a prac tice, but an occasional opportunity of doing wrong, and a constant distrust in the mind of the public, that a prerogative so unhallowed is never exercised but on motives as vicious as the power is in its principle unjust. But the Bank of Eng land must no longer have the privilege of sub stituting its own money for the King's, without previously consulting some independent autho rity respecting the amount of its contemplated coinage. The country ought not to be taken by surprise, and exposed to an inundation of bank notes, absolutely furtive and unhooked for. Moreover, the Bank of England ought to be stripped of its monopoly of the monied empire. The existing powers of the Bank have been monstrously abused, and uncontrolled preroga tives will ever be perverted. There are vast in terests at stake upon this question ; there is an extensive and complicated field of inquiry. No thing would more disappoint the nation or dis grace the Government than a blind and huddled up bargain with the Bank, involving as it must a fresh subjection of the middle and poorer classes to the rapacious despotism of the country bankers.— Times. The acquittal of Captain Pepin, of the Na tional Guard, has saved a life ; b ut t h e mo d e i n which he was tried has destroyed a principle. Louis-Philippe's Government has made the ex periment of trying the citizens of Paris by Courts-martial, against constitution a l law, and without a political necessity. The whole reign of Charles X. was a continued st rugg l e to re store the ancient regime of the Bourbon dynasty. Emboldened by partial successes, he made a grand and final effort to reverse the revo lution of 1789. Already lie laid his hand on an absolute sceptre, when public [indignation smote him from the seat of power ; but a people who had learned moderation from other examples than those of their Bourbon rulers, having se cured the victory of freedom, scorned to degrade it to purposes of vengeance, and dismissed the regal criminal with contemptuous mercy. Louis- Philippe is now absolute, in the place where Charles X., in endeavouring to set himself above the laws, met the just doom of one who dares to conficate, at his will and pleasure, the liberties of a people. But Louis-Philippe pre• tends the safety of the State required the subver • sion of the law. So did Charles X. No one one who affects tyranny ever acknowledges that he loves it for its own sake. It is always pretended that power beyond the law is only wanted to protect the country from some greater evil than the loss or suspension of its liberties. Charles X. and his Ministers asserted that regular Government could not be carried on, and that anarchy must ensue, unless the ordinances rescued the State from the dangers of the Charter. The heroes of the barricades confuted him—they overthrew his Government altogether—and yet anarchy did not follow ; on the contrary, the evils of misgovernment were re paired, a Constitutional throne was erected, and a man chosen by the free will of the people was placed upon it, to administer the laws of a reno voted Charter. It is he who has made himself independent of all laws, by taking advantage of a temporary commotion which the police had mainly provoked, and which his flatterers say has strengthened the power of the Sovereign, who uses this increased power to strangle the liberties of the people whose fidelity preserved his throne. We are told, however, by an official organ of our liberal Government, that the siege of Paris is absolutely a " popular measure ;"—just as popular, we believe, as it would be among Eng lishmen, if its former patron, the Duke of Wel lington, happening to be in power in this coun try, and having completely suppressed a popular tumult in Spa-fields or the Minories, was in stantly to proclaim London in a state of mar tial law, and transfer the Courts of Justice from Westminster Hall to the Horse Guards, ordering the surviving rioters, and all who might be falsely accused of political crime, to be tried according to the articles of war, and in confor mity with the discipline of the camp. " No," says our contemporary, " you do not take a phi losophical view of the subject ; you do not dis tinguish between France and England. The English dislike tyranny, but the French love to be oppressed ; they have a taste for being tor mented by their rulers, and there is no accounting , for tastes." If this be supposed to be a misre presentation of the sentiments of our contem porary will give his own words—" There is certainly this difference between the English and French people :—whilst the former are most e asy when the Government leave them to them selves, the latter are always best pleased when the Government is doing something to show its power, and, indeed, increase it. To what is this difference owing ?" It would puzzle the g yi nnosophist who solved the riddles of Alex , auder to answer this question. There is a per son, indeed, in the northern part of the island, who would probably be the fittest so solve the enigma. He is not quite as wise as Solomon, to be sure, but he has had the enlightened instruction of much experience. He resides within the precincts of Holyrood House, where he has time to meditate on the fallen grandeur of more than the infatuated race of Stuart. If he cannot tell exactly what consti tutes the difference between the French and English people, he may probably be able to tell us whether, in fact, " the French people are always best pleased when the Government is doing something to show its power, and indeed increase it." Perhaps lie could also state that he had for some years endeavoured to give the French people a great deal of pleasure in that way ; but solicitous as he was for their gratification, he could not make them happy ; on the contrary, his zeal to indulge them with the most unlimited enjoyment of increased power on the part of the Government was met by the most signal ingrati tude. Nor was this a rare instance of their per verseness, for Louis XVI., though born to ' despotic power, could not make the French people understand the happiness which wished to con fer on them by the opportunities which he took to display it. Even the arrest of the Members of the Parliament of Paris for refusing to re gister a Royal edict before the Revolution, failed in diffusing that joyous admiration of tyranny among the French people of which our con temporary tells us they are peculiarly susceptible. As Louis-Philippe's despotism, however, gives general satisfaction, he must, in sheer kindness to the French, and to preserve his popularity, continue it—unless they should become as un grateful to him for his endeavours to please them as they were to Charles X., who, by being no less arbitrary, deserved to be equally popular. Now there are some who think that the English were more meek and patient, under the dicta torial Administration of the Duke of Welling• ton than the French under Decazes or Villele,," or the still more despotic Prince Polignac ; and they entertain the opinion that, if the revolution of 1830 had not taken place in France, that spirit would not have been awakened in Eng land which carried the Reform Bill in the year 1832. So much for the connexion between French freedom and the liberties of England.— Morning Herald. It must be truly gratifying to our readers to learn that the course of proceeding which we re commended a few days ago, in order to give ef ficiency to the Reform Bill, is now in the course of adoption, not only in the City, but iti almost all its different districts—that meetings have been held, or are about to be held, for the purpose of selecting proper candidates to repre sent the inhabitants in the new Parliament, and of determining on the pledges to be exacted from t h e m—and, generally speaking, that means are taking to exclude not only all anti-Reformers from the representation, but all bit-and-bit Re formers, pretended converts to the cause, or men who either have net proved themselves to be true, or are not willing to submit themselves to the proof, by giving such pledges for their good be haviour as their constituents may think proper to demand of them. Some gentlemen, in every re spect qualified to represent th e count i es, c i t i es, or boroughs of this great empi re i n P ar li ament, may , perhaps, be inclined to consider the exaction of pledges as a degrading suspicion of their pa triotism or personal honour ; but we beg to ask them by what other mode the great end in view, the exclusion of the Tories, and the pre tended friends of Reform, can be accomplished, than that of exacting pledges from those who allow themselves to be put in nomination ? Every Minister that preceded that of Earl Grey made large professions of economy, and every candidate for a seat in Parliament adopted the same language ; but did either the one or the other ever practice or support economy in the national expenditure ? Not one. General decla tions of patriotism and determined attention to the public interest are, therefore, not to be trusted to. There must b e pl e d ges on di st i nct an d spec ifi c points, as well as general declarations, both for the purpose of excluding Tories and their friends, and for that of insuring to the public a useful and *honourable representation ; and to him who will not give pledges let no votes be given. There need be no fear of a lack of candidates ; for there are already more in the field than there are seats for in Parliament. With regard to the pledges to be exacted, they will, of course, vary according to the sentiments which predominate in the different cities, bo roughs, and counties of the United Kingdom ; but there are two, we think, which will find a ready adoption in all quarters, and which ought to be universally exacted. The first is a pledge to vote for the abolition of all unmerited pen sions, useless sinecures, and odious and unequal taxes—the second to vote for the abolition of sep tennial, and the restoration of triennial Parlia ments. No one who wishes well to his country can object to the former ; and no sincere friend to Reform can deny that the latter is one of the ulterior objects which were sought for through the Bill. An act of greater tyranny and treachery was never committed by a popular and responsble body, than that which was committed by a British Parliament, of voting to itself a greater duration than had been granted to it by its constituents. The Parliament of that time not only rendered itself virtually independent of the public by that proceeding, but conferred a value on the seats in Parliament, and originated a system of bribery at elections, which were previously un known to the Constitution ; and if, therefore, it he desirable to derive all the benefit from the Reform Bill which it is capable of conferring, let us take advantage of it to restore to the coun try that ancient practice of the Constitution, which brought constituents and representatives to triennial account with one another, and proved a stronger safeguard against bribery at elections, than all the laws which have been enacted on the subject. On other matters, such as the Corn Laws, the East India and Bank monopolies— the Currency, &c. more latitude may be allowed to individual opinion ; but on the points to which we have adverted, no quarter ought to be given. The question should be, " will you or will you not support such measures ?" and according to the answer so ought to be the conduct of the people.—Morning Advertiser. FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE. ST.
