Ambition ur avarice seems to hive been no Iran
powerful in one I louse of Commons than in another,
and we find the. Ministers, whoever they may be,
or of whatever party, equally lucky in acquiring,
by the tunic of place, the instant confidence of the

recently let out one of the priisse secreis of Cabinet
policy, when he avowed to Parliament that corrup-
tioo Was absolutely sit (votary to endble the scheme
of Government to trot k facility and advantage;
he was egrally explitit on Monday evening upon
what he econcriered to be the purpose of a House of

Lord LOIIDoNDERaY has told them what should

and their cheers gave audible poors of their

crive the reward of such devoted zeal by contriving
to render their loyalty co•extet.sive with the golden

leffidrity of the House of Commons, we Gar, is not

int Parlrument. Whether Members be returned
treat commies of horn rotten boroughs, the result, we
believe, would be preeisely similar, so long as the
Crown possesses the disposal of such extensive pa-
tronage as was detailed by Mr. BaoUGUAIII. The
fault is to be found in human nature ; for let poli-
ticians wrangle, or philosophers declaim, the ma.
jority of mankind will, in the existing artificial
molt., of society, own the • influence of the good

sbings which Ministers hate the power to bestow,
rind will in a thousand ways deceive themselves into
• a belief, that in accepting them they do not con-
' verge one virtuous principle, or torfeit the good
4 pinion of mankind. It is wonderful bow en-
l';,,htetted Parliament becomes, in proi.ortion as the
' T.:misters ore deprived of the means of corruption ;
so that no doubt can well be e itertsined that the

Wlikh were more beautiful—her Lips or Eyes?
" We," said the Eyes, " w oil firth those pointed darts,
Which pierce the hardest adamantine hearts."

Whirls love's reap by hied words and sweet kisses."
Then wept the Eyes; rind, from their springs did pour,
Of ligaid oriental pearl, a shower.
Whereat the Lips, m'u'sk with delight and plountre,
Through a sweet smile unlork'd their pearly treasure;
And bade Luse juke, whether did add more grace,
Wes ping or smiling pearls to Celia 's face.
