It may be his peal' liar way of doing business ; but we are of opinion that it ought not to be tolerated, and that the ratepayers of the township which he represents would do well to look ou t for a successor to perform those, duties for which he acknow ledges himself to be unfit. NOTES OF THE DAY, The Clerk of the Peace of Liverpool, it will be seen, has had no difficulty in vindicating his position, which wtel, called in question with so much animosity by a portion 0 1 the Town Council. Vice-Chancellor Sir William yage Wood has ruled that. " he Was absolutely entitled to the , fees, and could not part with a single shilling of those fees. to the persons 'who had appointed him,"—signiticantlY adding, that "the, law assumed that lie required for the dignity of his office all those fees which were assigned to him by law, nor was he allowed to assign or encumber them." This declaration settles the question, we humbb" think, whether in a legal or a moral point of view. We know it is popularly said in the town, that the Clerk of the . Peace has been legally right, but morally wrong. As the case haS becii — ei - plaiied by the Tice-Cliancellor, however , there can be no such distinction as this, between what is legal and what is moral. The law requires a certain c ourt of procedure,—the Clerk of the Peace has strictly ob scrv ed that course. And surely it cannot be immoral to observe bor. reports about the extraordinary prevarations for fitting out the Brest and Cherbourg fleets, which are still so rife. Lord John RusSell, it will be remembered, contradicted these reports in his place in. Parliament. But it is even more confidently than ever asserted, that such preparation: are indeed going on,—that orders have been given to build additional steam-transports, to carry forty thousand men, and for the construction of gunboats of a very suspicions description. - Let us hope that the subject is not being over' looked at head quarters. There is a Bonaparte in this country, at present, pursuing. a vocation .which contrasts very remarkably with that of the more eminent member of the family who occnPies the throne of France. Prince Lucien, we learn, is now sojdurn ing among the Weardalc'Hills, on the confines of 'Durhant and Cumberland, translating the " Song of Solomon" into the dialect of the country, intending, when he has finished his task there, to proceed on a similar mission to Craven, in Yorkshire. We do not exactly see the practical utility of such a work, since the denizens of those districts, although , speaking, in ordinary, their respective dialects, fully•under stand English in , its purer state. However, it is a very JC lerives pleasure from it, by all means let hint We find that there has been a great out-pouring of whi g , Peelite, a n d It adip ,i I__a. ianquet, at Merchant Taylors' Hall. We quite agree with the Horn lay Herald, that it is not difficult to divine the ;ouserva' lemonstration was one which affords incontestable evidence that the Conservative party is MA both powerful and united, and that harmony prevails in its mil, - mace the great defection which took place some ten or twelve years ago. Long mad• this union and concord THE LATEST NEWS her ugly corners, picking ,up what may be called her dropped stitehes, drawing up within tlu range of the central system the remote extremities of her from the chosen temple of the Anglo-Saxon race It is very unworthy of a respectable journal like :11(»•ning Post, to be throwing out, ever and anon its senseless invectives against the late Foreign Sec retary. It is now, acknowledged on all hands, we believe, wherever there is any candour at least, that lltr•foreign affitirs were never more ably conducted han they were by Lord MALNIEBLTRY ; and the ,very the present -.Government following' up his policy so closely as it is doing, is an indisputable proof of this fact. Especially was great credit due to Lord INIALMESBURY for having kept us disentangled from the Italian dispute, and thus preserving our strictest neutrality. Yet our contemporary writing, of course under the inspiration of Lord PALMERSTON whilst expressing a desire that " both Emperors may have their eyes opened to see the impossibility of carrying out tho terms of peace they have proposed," and that, " convinced of this, they will refer the whole question to be decided in full by a congress of the five powers,. and without any farther reference to the sword," adds this most gratuitous and unjusti fiable remark—that, in short, "those steps Will now be taken which should have been taken by consent of all parties before the war began, and which, in all ' r probability, would have been. taken if -England had . - not been saddled with a Government incapable of wielding the neces4ary influence, of this country ,at the right nu»nent." This, we say, is altogether contrary to the fact. Not only was the late Government not Lecessary in luence 0: count' effectually, in keeping us free from the entangle- preventing us being com promised, in any way, through the war that ensued. the dispute, an( It was utterly impossible, under the circumstances, for any English Government to prevent the war. g was done to that end which could be done and w•e very' much afraid, that, if instead of Lord Mahnesbury doing it, Lord 1, the results, as respects this country, would have been less pacific than, thank God, they now arc. All that was practicable, it is evident, was, to maintain our neutralitN and this Lord. Malmesbury had the great merit of doing which, one would fain hope, the great body of his countrymen arc not ungrateful. TII E WEST DERRY WRANGLIN .
