MINDON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 22.

Not content with the results of the late general
•lectioe, the Tories are resolv..d to have a Little Go
at the seats vacated by their gamesmen in office.
The unavailing advantages gained by them in April
last cost them very dear. They won several tricks,
no doubt; but after all they lost their time and
moot y, f,r they lost the game. Undeterred by their
recent experience, they fondly dream of retrieving
some of their disasters by making a ran at those who
have in the natural order of coostitutiorial
things been summoned to supersede them. The
writs cannot, by the rules of the House
of Commons, be moved for till this day ;
yet already preparations have been making to
sprier the rv-e!ection of certain prominent members
of the new Administration. Lord Jowl kit:matt.
cantor, indeed, be disturbed in the representation of
the City. Two a'tempts have been made within
a brief interval to subvert the position he has held
as repreeestatiee of the 'metropolis of the world,
hat with singularly ill success. Neither Mr. RAIKES
CORSI/ nor Lord STANLEY will be induced to try
again that desperate adventure ; and when they have
failed who would make the attempt? Equally hope-
less would it be to set op a I hirbyits competitor ia the
Radnorshire boroughs against Sir GEORG, Law to;
or at Morpeth, against the return of Sir Oroll6ll
GREY; or at Wolverhamptoo, against Sir RICHARD
BETIALL. But in other places mischief, it is hoped,
may be done, or at all events annoyance given, to
the newly-appointed officials ►bout to appear on the
hustings.

Pre-eminent among the resentful struggles we an
thus probxbty about to witness will, it is said, be
that for the representation of the University of
Oxford. Melon], having committed suicide, eon-
not forgive Mr. GLaristoNt for sitting by un-
disturbed during the gradual perpetration of the act,
and not preventing it. Still more provoking and
unpardonable is it to Sod him on the morrow
of the funeral to which he bore the part
of mute, laying aaide the garb of mourning,
and, like a et nieibie man, answering when celled upon
to perform the duties of a citizen and a statesman.
For a year and a half Mr. GhatiaTonit had given
the Tories a disinterested support in Parliament ; he
had done more, for he had, against the remonstrances
of private friends and the admonitions of self-interest,
waited a winter on a thankless errand, in the hope
of enabling the Getbyite Government to win the
credit of settling the lonian question. To all

leadership of the Commons in proximate reversion,
if not is prcescati, could lure him from his inde-
pendent place below the gangway. Ile was willing
to serve the party which Lord Dural and Mr,
Gleam, led, but not to be served by them.
And foe this he is now to be made the
object of personal attack and electioneering persecu-
bon, by the ineeneate faction on whose errors he too
long looked leniently. The Marquis of enaritio-•
will, it is understood, be brought fo-ward as the
ehanipiou of Conseivatista pure and simple, by the
friends of that aboard and obsolete superstition in
.he University. What the noble lord ban done to
merit this singular mark of confidence we should be
rather cations to learn. When previously in the
House of Commons he took ro very prominent part
a the dseussios of public affairs. As Secretary to
the Treasury he maimed ia making • report respect.

Tree address which Mr. GUI DATONE has lamed in
the form of a letter to the Provost of °kith, is not,
we think, peculiarly calculated to disarm opposition
or rally support. It is in its way the very perfection
of Gliolstrnian style, smooth, flacon, familiar, and
inoffensive, having about it the undid aft of one who
wishes to have no reserve with you, and yet so
artistically vague and ensile oa the points you
are most curious about, as to leave you nearly as
much in as d.rk as you were Wore. No doubt

sidlected that their proposition was a 201, franchise
is counties and 61. in towns, but that u regarded
se-distribution of seats y ware not prepared to
go any further than the colleagues from whom
they severed themselves. Mr. GLADoTOXL avoids
prudently all recurrence to his unfortunate defence
of rotten boroughs; but on the whole, his enuncia-
t►on of Ministerial opinions ou the subject of Re-
form is precisely such as would not do elsewhere.
We heartily wish to see hint distance his oppOOOM
is the contest pith which he is threatened, and we
have very little doubt that he will do so. But we
suinot for the sake of any individual, however
gifted, allow such a manifesto as his to pass unno-
ticed, the more especially es it is the list which has
appeared from the pen of one of the new Ministry.
Some allowance may be made for the peculiar tem-
perature of Oxford ; but Oxford is not England,
and it is the judgment of Engl-nd that must be
satisfied.
