readers need not be ut a loss to account for this
violence on the part of Sir William Curtis, when
they remember how recently that Gentleman's
shameful conduct regarding the Orphan Fund, was
almost unanimously censured by the body in ques-
tion, and we hope that every member of the Court
will bear in mind his grossness un the present occa-
sion, when he solicits their suffrages to send him
again to the place in which he has already so vilely
Walled them.—Alderman Wood's motion was ne-
gatived—not on the merits of the question, for they
were all in its favour, but by the opposition of Mr.
Peel, the Secretary for the Home Department (Lord
Sidinouth's successor), who placed his Veto against
the sought-for inquiry—thus the Manchester and
Knightsbridge afKiits are alike destined to remain as
they are for a time, but a time will come when in-
quiry will take place.
Ou Friday evening last Ministers were left in a
minority of 54! by which decision two of the use-
less Lords of the Admiralty were done away with—
this ought, according to precedent, to be the signal
for their resignations but they will hold to place,
under however degraded circumstances.

With unusual pleasure do we refer our readers to
the pro.eedings in the House of Commons on Thurs.
day night—nut because the motion fur a repeal of
un oppressive tax was successful, for unhappily it
was not so—not because the opposition to Ministers
included 165 members, while their supporters (in
which number were of course included the votes of

We hear with much pleasure that a public meet-
ing of the Holders of Five per Cent. Stock will be
called immediately, to consider of the best method of
resistance to the infamous proposition of the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer-our readers, however, need
not be reminded, that from the 4th to the 16th of
the present month is all the time allowed for the
expression of dissent against a measure which will
rub the Holders of 16s. per annum on every 1001.

all the placemen and pensioners, who to the disgrace
of the House, are allowed to have a vote) amounted
to only 169. leaving them a majority of but 4, in a
House consisting of 334 members—not because we
saw in array, against the continuance of this Tax, se-
veral of those persons who have for the last thirty
years said Ay., to every question which Ministers
wished to carry, and No to every motion they chose
to oppse—but because during the debate in question
the principle was recognized that ought alone to to-
lerate the continuance of any government, THL

The Duke of Wellington way say " County meet-
ings are a farce." The Marquis of Londonderry
may treat wish contempt the " idea of considering
as worthy of attention the opinion without doors,"
but we repeat our conviction, that the sooner any
government which sets itself in direct opposition to
the public opinion and wishes, is destrqed the
better, forasmuch as Governments were instituted

Letters dated Wednesday morning, have been re.
ceived from Paris, which state that accounts had
reached that city of a new attempt to excite dis-
turbances in Saumur. A party, consisting of about
50 men, headed by General Berthon, had appeared
in Saumur, where they hoisted the tri-enlour flag,
and manifested the most tumultuous conduct.—

They were attacked by the municipal guard, and a
conflict of some obstinacy took place between them
before they could tie expelled. S.:veral of General
Bullion's party were killed. Of the remainder the
greater portion were apprehended and lodged in pri-
son. Their leader made his escape, but almost un-
accompanied; this event, which, if the authority of
