DEATH OF LORD MELBOURNE.

Acconas reached town last evening, announcing
the decease of Viscount Melbourne. This melancholy event,
which was fer some days expected, took place yesterday, at
Bracket Hall.

Lord Melbourne was born on the 15th March, 1779, and
having concluded his university education, he entered as a
student at Lincoln's-inn on the 21st of July, 1797, and was
called to the bar nn the 23rd of November, 1804. On the
3rd of June, 1805, he married the Lady Caroline Ponsonby,
only daughter of the third Earl of Beaborough ; but in the
course of a few years differences arse, which ended
in a reparation. Lady Caroline Lamb died on the 25th
of January, 1828; and her son, the Hon. G. A. F. Lamb,
followed her to the grave on the 27th of November, 1836.
In the year 1805, Mr. Lamb entered the House of Commons,
and joined the whig party, under the leadership of Mr. Fox.
In 1806 he moved the address in answer to the king's speech,
but throughout the quarter of • century which followed he
made no remarkable speeches, nor did be display soy pecu-
liar aptitude for the business of legislation. He was a whig,
bat only a semi-liberal, and showed a decided leaning to-
wards the views of Mr. Canning, except on the question of
parliamentary reform. Upon that they differed ; but they
were fully agreed on free trade, the South Americ in
republics, and the government of Ireland ; and therefore Mr.
Lamb, though remaining in opposition, frequently gave
the benefit of his vote to Lord Liverpool's ministry. When
Kr. Canning was commissioned to form • cabinet in 1827,
he made overtures to Mr. Lamb, who accepted the office of
Chief Secretary for Ireland ; and after the decease of Mr.
Canning his official connexion was maintained with the
government of Lord Goderich, and afterwards with that of
the Duke of Wellington, up to the period when the proposi-
tion for disfranchising East Buford came before the House of
Commons. Lord Palmenton, Mr. Grant (now Lord Glenelg),
Mr. Huakisson, and Mr. Lamb upon that occasion supporter
the first step towards parliamentary reform, and went over to
the opposition. On the death of his father, in 1828, Mr. Lamb
succeeded to the family honours, and took his seat in the
House of Peers, but did not assumes prominent place till the
Duke of Wellington, having in 1830, declared war against
reform, threw up office, and was succeeded by Earl Grey.
Lord Melbourne accepted the seals of the Home Debut-
aunt with • piece in the new cabinet, at a moment when
the tdministration of our domestic government demanded
the exercise of the greatest circumspection. In this office
Lord Melbourne continued till the session of 1834, when the
government proposing to make considerable alterations in the
state of the Irish church establishment, Lord Ripon, Lord
Stanley, the Duke of Richmond, and Sir J. Graham threw
up their offices, and Lord Grey retired from the premiership.
The king sent for Viscount Melbourne, and on the
14th of Jaly, 1834, his lordship announced that he had been
authorised to reconstruct the ministry. This he did, and
his government continued to the following November, when
the second Earl Spencer died, and the late Lord Altborp
therefore ceased to be Chancellor of the Exchequer. The
king considered that event tantamount to a breaking-up
of the ministry, and called upon Lord Melbourne to
retie. Under the advice of the Duke of Wellington,
his Majesty summoned Sir Robert Peel from Italy,
and • conservative administration was the renal, but
a new parliament decided against Sir Robert Peel's
government, and Lord Melbourne was restored. The
session of 1841 saw the close of his administration, and even
brought the public career of Lord Melbourne himself to an
unexpected close. It was thought that many years of vigor-
ous existence still remained to him, and that, when he re-
signed office, he intended to place himself at the head of
• formidable opposition ; but, after a few slight efforts, he
ceased to be regular in his parliamentary attendance—his
health declined, and, when he reappeared, towards the close
of the maim of 1845, he was merely the shadow of his
former self. His already broken constitution was subse-
quently still further ennobled by an attack of paralysis,
which terminated his lordship's political career.

SIR CULLING EARDLET EARDLET seem', Off-
Gusty, to know how to win his constituency. After
Mr. Frawfussit's distant and aristocratic way of
wooing, the frank and forward salutation of the
Exeter Hall baronet bespeaks a manly suitor. Sir
CULLING, too, seems to have transposed the promi-
nences of his political creed much as he has trans-
posed his names. When last we met him, he was a
fiery saint, who thrust his oriflamme into
every one's face—a kind of PETER ills HERMIT,
eager for a crusade. But religious seal, however
much to be reverenced, is not the best guide or en-
lightener in political duties. And, err es, till we
read Sir CULLING BANGLES'S address, he was about
the last man in the empire we should have thought of
for the W.st Riding.
But his address has great merits, and Sir CULLING
is not a man to improvise political opinions merely for
the sake of either an address or a candidature. We do
the religions men of the day the justice to believe
them incapable of such jesuitry. His declaration
on free trade is unexceptionable. His sentiments with
respect to retrenchment must fully represent those of
every thorough financial reformer. Then he declares
there can be no real representation without the bal-
lot, sad that the ballot is impossible without large
consti uenciee. We. are implied the great principles
and necessities of the new reform.
It is impossible to be blind to the inetits of so
frank a free trader, and so thorough a reformer,
even though he declares that neither free trade
nor reform should stir him from his retirement,
unless be had hopes of fulfilling the far higher duty
of preventing the catholic priesthood from being en-
dowed. Now we are opposed to this endowment
as well as Sir CULLING BANGLES; first of all bemire
the state, monstrousl in debt, and as monstrously
burdened with charitable duties to the poor especially
of Ireland, has literally no funds, which it can ho-
nestly alienate for religious purposes, much less for
'he purpose of endowing religious pastors as a police.
Secondly, the payment of the catholic clergy of Ire-
land has the effect of averting the attention of parlia-
ment and of the country from the vital and more
dangerous causes of Irish suffering.
Sir CULLING EARDLEY sets aside all consideration of
existing religious establishments as abstract questions.
'fbe existing Irish Church establishment an abstract
question! But admitting the permanence of that
establishment, Sir CULLING would have no more, on
the ground that this would be placing truth and
error on the tame level. If the worthy baronet
would reflect a moment, and introduce into his re-
ligious ratiocination the same fairness which distin-
guishes his political ones, surely he would be
lof the opinion that to put truth and error
on the same level, that is, on the same field or plain of
reason to tight out their eternal quarrel, would be the
best way of insuring that advantageand final triumph
to truth which is the utmost its worshippers can de-
sire.
We must own that we should like to see protest-
autism and catholicism, or, as Sir EARDLEY has it,
truth and error, put on the same level in Ireland ;
because if they be kept as at present, protestantism in
the palace and catholicism in the hovel, the one on the
mountain top, the other in the bog-hole—
there is no possibility of their arguing or agreeing, or
testing each other's vitality or strength. All they can
perpetuate is rancour and civil war. As it is, pro-
testantiam and catholicism in Ireland have un-
christianised each other.
As poli•icians, we maintain that we have no right
to enquire into tenets, or to award the judgments
of truth and error. This is justice, and
it is more than justice with respect to Ireland. For
if we, sixteen millions of English, go to the seven
millions of Irish and say, you arc in religious error,
and, therefore, you shall not enjoy religious equality
with us, but shall pay our priests as well as your
own—the only answer to be expected from .nch over-
weening and intolerable dictation, is periodical rebel-
lion, and worse than periodical rebellion—permanent
disaffection. This requires 40,0'00 men to keep
down, there being no church ascendancy possible, at
least of the gross Irish kind, without a military aecen-
dancy to back it. And thus religious tolerance and
equality are the first steps to financial reform.

LONDON, SATURDAY, NOV. 25.
THERE is a passage in ADAM SMITH'S " Wealth of
Nations," relating to the expense of colonial govern.
ment, which deserves to ho printed in kttri of gold :
The *amens • of their [the English colonies own civil
government has sowers been very moderate. li has gene.

patent salaries to the governor, to the judges, moil some other
(dicers of police, and for maintaining a few of th, most use

that Connecticut 4.0001. That of New York and Pennsylvania
4,500/. each. That of New Jersey 1,2001. That vf Virginia
and South Carolina 8,0001. each. The civil establyhtni nts of
N Semi and Georgia are partly supported by an annual
grant of psoienarnt. But Nova Scotia p aye, ton lee, about
7,0001. a year tnwards the public expenses of the eolony ; and
Georgia about 2,5001. a year. All the different civil mtg.
blishments in North America, in short, t :elusive of those of
Maryland and North Car line, of which no suet account
hoe been Rot, did not, b tore the commencement of the pre-
sent disturbances, east the inhabitants above 64 7101. a year ;
es evernueownable example at 'IOW small an e ones three
mallow of people may not only be yoverned, but well
gotersod.
The expense of civil government in the British
colonies in 1848 is on a very different scale. The
population of these colonies (omitting the military
eriablishments Gibraltar, Malta, a, d St. Helena, and
the diplomatic establirhment Hong Kong) is (see Ses-
sional Paper, No. 49, of 180), 4,535,424. The expense
of local government in these colonies amounts to (see
Sessional Paper, No. 740. of 1847), 3,468,0681. The
population of the British 'colonies, in 1848, is only
one-half greater than the population of the English
colonies in North America, in 1770 ; but the expense
of local government in the former is more than 53
times as great as it was in the latter. The civil list
alone of British Guiana, with its hundred thousand
inhabitants, is more than a half of the whole cost
Lof civil government in the old North Ameri-
can colonies, with their three millions. Nova
Scotia, with 178,000 inhabitants, has an an-
nual public expenditure of 64,6271. ; the " old
thirteen " with three millions had one of 64,7001. The
" old thirteen" presented " an ever memorable ex-
ample at how small an expense three millions of
people may not only be governed, but well governed ;"
the modern colonies of England present an equally
memorable example of the immense sums that may
be expended in governing foul millions and a half of
people ill.
ADAM SMITH goes on to observe that " the most
important part of the expense of government, that of
defence and protection, ham constantly fallen upon the
mother country." This is not strictly true. The old
North American colonies not only maintained their own
militia for purposes of defence ; they bore no inoon •
siderable part of the expense incurred by aggressive
operations against the French settlements. BRA-
' DOCK'S commissariat was organised by FRANKLIN
sad paid for by Pennsylvania ; the provincial contin-
gamin in BRADOCK'S army made up at least one-half
et vied after the defeat and death of that general
the beet of the French invasion was borne and re-
pelled by the provincial militias. The expedition
which capt:red LouisbourgandCape Breton was com-
posed of provincial troops, and the expense of it was
borne by Massachusetts Bay. The military expen-
' diture of Great Britain in America at that time was
incurred not to defend the colonies, but to carry
' out the idea of CHATHAM that France was
Vi be conquered in America, not in Germany.
The North American colonies of France and Eng-
land were made the battle-field of the animosities of
these nations. Had the military armaments and expenses
required in the " old thirteen," been restricted to what
was necessary for tteir defence, the provincial troops
which they raised, and the money they laid out upon
them, would have far more than sufficed for their
protection. They paid all the costs of their civil go-
vernment, and more than the legitimate costs of their
defence. If governed on the same principle as these
settlements were governed, our modern English
colonies would be found perfectly adequate to defray
the expense, both of their own civil govern-
ment and their defensive establishments. There
is no danger in our day of their being made the
battle-field of such irrational animosities and hostili-
ties as those between France and England which
about the middle of the eighteenth ce^tury mace
North America a scene of savage havoc and deso-
lation. . .

---
But in order that our modern colonies may be as
well and economically governed as those of the
eighteenth century, it is indispensable that they be
governed upon the same system. That was, according
to BURKE, a system of "wise forbearance." After the
Duke of NeweAterta was finally driven from office,
the whole colonial correspondence during the time
that he held the seals of office is said to have been
found unopened. That was a period during which
the colonies were well and economically governed, and
remained devotedly loyal. GRENVILLE unfortunately
insisted upon reading his colonial correspondence and
meddling with their local administr..tien, and imme-
diately the era of discontent began. The creation of
a special Secretary of State for the Colonies was
directly followed by the revolt which called into
existence the United States of North America.
Leave our colonies to organise their civil govern-
meet according to the real wants of their respective
societies, to maintain their own militia, and, if they
please, their own " colonial ships," and they will be-
come loyal and prosperous, like the ' old thirteen," before
the GRENVILLE Stamp Act. Their civil government
and their defensive establishments will be " confined
to what is necessary for paying competent salaries" to
indispensable public servants. And their loyalty to
the "old country"—to "home" as it was fondly and
familiarly called throughout the colonies during the
first half of the eighteenth century—will bees devoted
and enduring as that which required the Stamp Act,
the tea (lake, the closing of the port of Boston, the
insults to American envoys in London, and the
minder of American citizens in New England to

IT would be a dangerous and lamentable conviction
to have forced upon the minds of the oppressed
classes and countries throughout the continent, that
moderation in revolution was sure to lead to failure,
and that when once a revolution was imperativelj
needed and achieved by the people, the only way of
carrying it through was to go at once boldly to ex-
tremes, to show no forbearance, and to fling every-
thing like moderat on to the winds.
These are the dreadful doctrines of the red repub-
lic, doctrines that one would be glad to see put down
and eradicated from the mind of every people, and
practically refuted. We should desire this for the
sake of humanity; for the body politic will have its
eruptions and diseases, and the next best thing to
their prevention is to take away their malignity. Old
constitutional countries, indeed, like our own, which
have gone through the ordeal of revolution, are
guaranteed against its recurrence ; but in despotic
countries like the governments of Germany and Russia,
revolution ii as inevitable to them as infsntine
disorders to the human frame. And, indeed, the
sooner they come the less malignant are they.
It will be a lamentable thing for Germany and for
its princes and nobles, no less than for its people, if,
as there is every appearance, the late revolutions
should prove abortive, their representative assem-
blies vanish like smoke, and the old autocracy be
restored. The result would then he to adjourn, indeed,
but to necessitate future revolutions, of which all the
germs will have been left. The only difference would
be the increased and terrible malignity of revolutions
to come, the people having learned from the events of
1848 that to have respected the rights of their
sovereigns, to ha,s preserved their reveraice ton
aristocracy, and to have accomplished a revolution
with moderation, was m, rely to call down destruction
on themselves, their hopes, and their country.
We sincerely desire that history could give no
other lessons than those of moderation. Bat what
does history teach P It shows that violent, extreme,
and thorough-going revolutionists have carried their
' points, saved their cause, and established liberty,
whilst the moderate, the humane, and the conscien-
tious, have failed. England in the middle of the 17th
century, France at the end of the 18th, bloke at once
and altogether with thrones and aristocracy, and went
to the extremity of a republic. England and Frames
succeeded ila the firm foundation of political
and social freedom.
In March last the Germans raised two almost nut.
nimons cries,one for constitutional freedom and unity,
the other against ultra-democracy or a republic.
Nothing could have been more eery than for German
princes to have steered between these two beacons,
and used their superabundant military force to pat
down the licence of demagogues and of the rabble,
whilst, by falling in with the rational and constitu-
tional desires of the middle, the intelligent, and civic
classes, they might have founded a mode•ately liberal
system of government. But no • this was.
not what they wanted. They preferred leaving
Berlin and Vienna to themselves, and letting the mob
run riot, in order that they might affright the
citizens back into absolutists, or might confound
them in one MS of turbulence and rebellion. In
this the two courts succeeded ; but how dangerous
their success! Instead of separating the orderly from
the disorderly, the Industrious citizens from brawling
Ernectiers, both have been flung together to ferment in
the same cauldron of disaffection, in presence of which
a military government can alone keep guard. Thus,
not only are future revolutions inevitable, bat those
future revolutions have every ti terlitiver =yr every

destroy.
FArl GRET admits the truth of these views
in theory, though we regret to add that his
practice is scarcely reconcilable to them. He
professes a wish to give local self-government to the co-
lonies; to throw upon them the expense of alltheir pub-
lic establishments and servants, except the governors.
And he sees clearly that if the governors are to ma-
tions in receipt of salaries such u Le wishes, they
must be paid by this country. In the name alike of
the mother country and the colonies, we protest
against any such exceptional arrangement with le-

spotless reason for being violent, extreme, and san-
guinary.
Experieues shows that those who triumph over
revolutions never know how to make a right use of
the vietory. What more SW far RAMITSICI him-
self than to have given something like a coaati-
tution or a senate to Lombards and Venetians, to
have flung himself upon them, excused past mow-
midis as the malt of error and notemity, but held
forth the future rule of Austria beyond the Alps
as ow of benignity and of moderate freedom ? Why,
he would have rallied the Lombards rotted him, and
raised a moral fortification across the frontiers that
would have defied CHAILLIS At and Fraooo
whilst mousey would have flowed in free gifts a thou-
sand times surpassing the millioes that he is now
wringing from the properties of some score of the
nobles and conservatives of the land.

—lt will be just the same story at Vienna and Path
—military execution, as the foundation of a new
regime in 1848. Brute, soldier terror, and nothing
else. And these are the heroes of our whip and
Weiss, NARVAEZ, WINDISCHORATZ, RADETSKI, and
WRANGEL, the four great demigods of Chronicle and
Thnes, with martial law for their Utopia. The King
of Paeans, indeed, hesitates. Ile sees, that once his
throne is exclusively based on military authority, his
and his dynasty's hold of it is not worth a year's pur-
chase. He already, therefore, looks about fer other
support, for another basis. But the partsans,
through whom he has conquered, will not
permit him. His courtiers and generals will
not bear even of a Belgian constitution.
Their sole delight and mode of govern-
ing are those of our tory joins:as—civil war,
martial law, grape shot, and executions. And the
poor King of PRUSSIA, in his dreadful incertitude,
is said to fly to his only faithful friend," the bottle,"
and to seek in copious draughts of wine the solace
of his kingly care. Meantime the routed Assembly
gain strength under the bayonets of coercion. The
conservative majority diminishes; the moderate mem-
bers fling themselves into opposition. The sittings,
• he doings, the determinations of the Prussian Diet are
more important than ever. Though its hall be closed,
it still reigns in the minds and ears of men, and it
would seem as if bayonets had no power over the ma-
jesty of a national assembly.
We wish we could say something for Frankfort.
But in truth the Diet, and the government, and the
Prince, which met in that old city to rehearse the
opera of the German empire, have latterly sunk into
such wretched and contemptible actors, that it is time
for the German public to Lisa them off the stage. The
last act of their mi.erable trag;-comedy has been
to listen to a most disgraceful panegyric on military
government fiom the mouth of a miserable renegade,
one BASSERMAN, who went to Berlin to assist and re-
joice in the overthrow of constitutional government
there, en M. WELCKER went to Austria to dine
with the assassins of Bunt.
BASSERMAN'S speech was the funeral oration of any-
thing like freedom in Frankfort. And the Diet fol-
lowed it up worthily by voting in one breath
two contrad'etory determinations—one to advise
the King of PRUSSIA to recall his illegal decrees, the
other to censure the Berlin Assembly for protesting
against those illegal decrees in the only way in which
it could do so.
Tne utter imbecility of the Frankfort Diet un-
fortunately gives another untoward lesson to Ger-
mans, and must lead them to think that no moderate
or cot stitutional line of conduct can produce for them
the desired result of unity. It is to be feared, when
such a scheme is next attempted by the people of
Germany, they will not set about it in so debonnoir e
and ridiculous a manner.
