This day, at half.past three o'clock, the Bill will receive the Royal Assent, together with the Malt &c.

An affecting tribute was paid to the memory of Mr. Matfett last night In the "louse of Commons.

The Parliament has a right to expect that the demanders of Reform should bring their dennuids to smite single point sufficiently definite to be re jected without revival, or to be granted without, extension. While maintaining a gueri!la warfare, without 'either a central body or a governing head, they cannot be adatitted to conference or treaty. The Reformers most coalesce at once ; or one set must put down the others. We will not travel with one of their polies to llrentford, lest a se cond should force ns'On to Hounslow, and a third to Windsor. The`metaphor is a good metaphor, and we con the Reformers Many - thanks for it. The bait al Brent 'ord infers, that the Ministly, if they consented to go so far, would put up at the sign of the Pigeons: the excursion to lionnslow, that the Spencean Patriots would practise the les sons of thelleath and the jottrney•s end at Wintk stir, that the Revolutionists would nrilie an end of our Royally.--'These are charming Localities— are they not ? In the mean time, we hold it among the soundest of political principles—" nut to stir a step for " ward, until the ultimate resting•point i, dcfi " nitively ascertained." . The impending enactments are not likely to have strength enough for adjouining all extra parliamentary discussions.--Our regard for legiti mate freedom makes us [egret the probatile in adequacy ; since the purposes of pr:titioning are not, for a while at least, quite worth the toler ance of its inseparable pretences. Let us, bow ever, welcome what will be done, rather than lament what may be left undone ; stipulating only, that the imperfection of the Law may re commend its complete execution. , Orator IIuNT has not yet arrived at his last speech. This happy consummation awaits the new law. As fast as evasions are invented, preventions mist be multiplied. The more free u Consti tution, the .more just, and the More inherent, is its power of self-protection—let us add, its obli gation. But, we are clamorously told, the existing law is sufficiently strong. Indeed !—llave its guar. (lions, then, been remiss in its enforcement ? Though the censure of old remissness comes with a somewhat bad grace from the adversat ics of new strictness, we do confess it an equal mischief that the law did not restrain HUNT and CODUKTT and their Idiom, as that it could not. It may, how. ever, be reasonably inferred, that 'the prn. pounders of a new and stronger law would have resorted to the old law, had its power been equal to its necessity, rather than have Incurred the delay and the discussiou which are interpaied. It may be inferretValso, that the failure Of the old law, whether resulting from its original inadequacy to check the offence, or from the superinduced evasion of the offenders, should be corrected and strengthened. This kind of Reform we willingly grant , to the Reformers. BBette►' late than never,- , -The Ministers have been in the same breath blamed fur suspending the Habeas Carpus Act at all, and for not suspending it sooner. This is about as lair as the other ar gument; that because one Parliament refused its enactment to the ruthless and deipotic J►► Mas, another Parlia►nent should refuse It to our lenient and liberal Sovereign. Precious logic► truly— which jumbles Measures, and times, and persons, thus Incangrtunisly ! It might have been ex pected . from Horn and his rabble', 811(1 perhaps not stared at front one or two at &center habits: but front wise Senator and grave Journalists I fiL ! lao r l / 4 : be said abottt it, for 0‘ rake. Pcti:ioping way now, we hope, be heist sttiedy to it. purposes.--Nit that we require regulations, concurrent and coextensive with its pretences.— It were a were waste ul legi,latiim to contrive . prohibitory clauses, and ;ceiling what way not be ( lone the law needs only to he declaratory, set. ling forth What alone 'May' be done. NO uthei• Dale will hedge in the , Cuelsoci. Some reforming Barrister, who prefers his chance of office to, the " halt guineas" of the King'S Bench, will tit: , ways be at hand to prove that pretences may 4'e purposes :—the law will declare for itself, that purposes are not pretences. Yet these, to the unpracticed judgment, are al most cooreitible terms, for Actual Petitioning may be a pretence of Petition; A Petition, framed for the purpose of being re jected, is a pretence ; and, So is a Petition introduced, and accompanied, and follo%%ed by hardngues, and votes, and reso lutions. Petitioning is .a right :—/mi it i 3 a naked I ight. The removal of all these, and its million other pretences, is not a removal of the tight. The use is not presented by the prevention of the abuse. Such petitioning we shall always watch, and denounce, and oppose 7 —noless the law does it more promptly. In this: indispensible finish to the noise and confusion of 'our Ildoniters, we shall heartily rejoice :—taking leave, for the pre sent, of a subject which we hope the new law will conclusively eilence.
