SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS

IFROM TILE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
TIMES.—Lord Derby's declarations are becoming so
numerous thatove have given up counting there, in the
same despair as the young lady in Juvenal who was
obliged to take breath three times in the enumeration
of her mother's lovers. To be always doing the same
thing over and over again never with effect is the eke.-
eical idea oi punishment, and men who have been as wily
as Sisyphus, and as false to their vows as the Danaida
cannot reasonably complain of a similar expiation of a
similar fault. Ye: who would not rather roll stones, ay,
Or break them, rather than undergo the periodical humi-
liation
to which the head of our chivalrous Administra-
tion is forced to submit? Or what is filling a sieve
compared with the craving demands of Protec-
tionist supporters, who will not remit to their
leaders one atom of the degradation attending
contact with their worthless cause, but require
fresh assurances of their fidelity even at the
very moment when they are Most convinced
of their desertion? They know that- they shall
never get it, but they like to bo talked to about pro-
tection, just as a superannuated beauty likes to Le com-
plimented on those charms which her mirror assures
her have long since departed. If Lord Derby were not
so entirely the cause of his own misfortunes, it would
really ' bo • pitiable to sea hini cursed with a cause which
he cannot support and dares not disavow; seeking to
conciliate the country by annexing impossible conditions
to a return to protection, and his own supporters by pro-
fessions orunshaken conviction of the beauties of scarcity.
There is, however, a keeping and fitness in all this. Stich
aehief is every way worthy of the party which sup-
ports him, and of the press ever ready to pour forth
fulsome panegyrics on him, or causeless vituperation on
his opponents. The cruel struggle to keep up rents
under false pretences, to shift yet a little longer the bur-
den occasioned by reduced prices from the shoulders of
the landlord to those of the farmer, is well represented
by statesmen whose principles are to be sought in their
professions, and not in their actions, who hare aban-
doned one policy without adopting another, and are as
unable to deal with the future as to extricate themselves
from the embarrassments of the past. One really
would think, to read the, speeches of Lord Derby, that
plainness and fair dealing had fled to the woods, and left
the populous abodes of man to be the haunts of insincerity
and duplicity. We, the once downright straightforward
English nation, have come to this pass—that we are
governed by men utterly incapable of expressing their
meaning or policy in a single speech; who give Ile no
other clue to their intentions then the endless task of
reconciling contradictions, or speculating on which word
of a sentence the emphasis is to be laid; who will take
back to-morrow what they have conceded today; untay
in the hot fit what they have said in the cold, and recant
with the same facility with which they assert. We can-
not but regard such a spectacle as deeply humiliating to
the pride and discreditable to the character of the na-
tion. We have never before had a Ministry about to
take the opinion of the country on its personal merits
alone, without identifying itself with a single principle
or connecting its existence with a single definite mea-
sure. 'Whether the majority of the next Par-
liament shall be for or against protection, for
or against Maynooth, or any other measure,
Lord Derby is prepared to submit to the majority. To
him that majority is not the means of forming an opi-
nion, it is the opinion itself. To it he delegates all
those mental operations which ordinary men are in the
habit of performing for themselves. He asks no better
thin to b© the instrument of its decisions, and, whether
those decisions be for good or evil, he is equally ready,
as long as he is permitted, to execute them. Compared
with such a stare of things as this, Eldonistn itself is
desirable. Any principle steadily believed in and vi•
gorously carried out is better than the caput mortuum,
which contains nothing but the dregs of worn-out no-
tions, the sap and vigour of which have long since eva-
porated.. The supporters of Lord Derby do well to
enlist themselves under that name, for their leader has
left them no other badge of distinction. Honest Pro-
tectionists can see little to admire in a leader whom not
even victory itself will induce to carry their principles into
effect. Honest Free-traders can' have as little confidence
in a Government which denies the principle to which it
is forced to render homage, and, while rowing towards
free trade, fixes its longing eyes on the gradually reced-
ing outline of its lost and loved monopoly. These things
might have been far otherwise. Lord Derby cannot, in-
deed, undolthe cruel and selfish delusion of the last six
years, but it was open to him either to foil with dignity
or to yield with grace. He might
.have stood true to his
colours, and, though with little chance of success, have
fought his desperate cause to the utmost, and buried
himself under the ruins of his party, if not of the con-
stitution. Such a danger—the danger of being called
upon to realize his fervid professions and fiery exhorta-
tions, must have been foreseen by him during the whole
of his career, and the sequel, be it what it might, could
scarcely he more wild and reckless than the antece-
dents. Ho might, on the other band, have avowed his
convictions that the thins was impossible, ar.d disclaim-
ing any intention of tampering with the existing com-
mercial policy, have engaged honourably and fairly to
carry it out. A concession of the whole principle at
once would have been made at a less expense
•of
character than the gradual haggling by which item
tiftacr item of the exploded system is in turn given up.
First it is the navigation-laws, the restoration of which,
notwithstanding Mr, ferries, is declared to be impossi-
ble,
while hopes are still expressed of squeezing some-
thing out of corn. Next the landed interest is thrown
overboard into the same abyss of competition as her
sister of the sea. But hero the destroyer is to stop.
Lord Darby will take Sir Robert Peel's policy, but not
n step further. Sir Fitzroy Kelly can only go as far as
1845. Lord Derby has got up the subject as far as
June, 1846, but there he is deserted by the authority of
Sir Robert Peel, whom in that month his party ex-
pelled from office. The present stand is is favour of
sugar, and Ezeter-hall is invoked to aid it. This also,
we seppose, will be yielded in its turn, and then
Government, having conceded ono by one all the
improvements of the past, will have nothing left but
to prevent improvement for the future, and carry '
into our commercial legislation the same narrow spirit
which actuated the Lord Chancellor last night
in his opposition to the enfranchisement of copyholdt.
The day is past when anything Lord Derby can
say would do much either for good or evil. People are
tired of promises sure to be qualified, and announce-
ments certain to be contradicted. Die country will re-
ceive with indifference 'Lord Derby's concessions with
regard to the principles of free trade; and his own sup-
porters attach little weight to what he may say on the
side of protection. Both sides are fairly nauseated with
the ever-recumirg farce, and seem to be becoming im-
patient for its termination. The more enlightened part
of the Conservative party are day by dry mercestrealged
from the Government, whose paltry subterfuges and
dargerous principles tend to make the preservation of
authority more difficult, and to expose public men to
molited contempt. We have always recommended fair
play to the present Ministry, that they might extricate
themselves from protection, but were certainly not pee-
pared to see the object attained at such an enormous ex-
penditure of personal character, and aro almost tempted
to wish, for the sake of public morality, that the mat-
ter had been brought to issue at once, without subject•
ing even our most heretic statesmen to the periodical
degradation of which Lord Derby has drunk to the
very dregs.
HERALD.—We believe it to be of vast importance
that the Protectionist party throughout the country
should fully and clearly understand the exact position in
which the question of protection to British industry now
stands. After all the mystification which has been, and
no doubt will be still attempted, after all the premature
triumphs of our opponents, we de not hesitate to say,
that--ae thorough, sincere, and uncompromising Pro-
tectionists—our earnest wish is that our friends through-
out the country should accept the speech of the Earl of
Derby on Monday night in the House of Lords as the
clearest, Plainest, and most faithful statement of the true
position which we now:occupy. Nothing, let ugsay, can be
more candid, more explicit, or, let us add, more con-
sistent, than the statement of the Noble Earl at the
head of her Majesty's Government. Two years ago
Lord Derby stated that his own opinion on the subject
of protection had undergone no change, but that
the question rested with the constituencies of the'
empire. On assuming the office to which duty to
his Sovereign called him in March last, he re-
iterated the same statement, and on Monday night in
the House of Lords he repeated in substance the same.
On MOnday night the Opposition determined to take
the Noble Lord by surprise. It was manifest to every
observer that their object was to goad, by taunts, by in
vective, by sneers, the Prime Minister into so me
decla-
ration that possibly might he considered rash.Theybenches

was avoided. The object of the plot was defeated—de-
feated
by the manliness, the simplicity, the straightfor-

integrity of the Noble Lord at whom their artifices
were aimed. Stung, indeed, by their unworthy
dignity,

Lord Derby indignantly repelled the.misrepresthoentattnnions
that io-
of those who represented him as sayg
siting of a duty on corn was a matteri of necessity.
The words of the Noble Lord are worthy to
.be pon-
dered and weighed by every friend to the agricultural
interest:—
" The Earl of DERBY—The Noble Earl is quite
wrong in supposing that I said aduty on fereiga corn
was a matter of necessity. I stated,. that
,fori the pu..--
pose at once of relieving the suffering anrieu., tnral in-
terest, of improvieg rho
terest, and also for the purpose
re-
venue, and thereby enabling us to take off other taxes,
without injury to the consumer, I thought it might be
desirable to impose a moderate fixed duty on foreign
corn. I distinctly stated that that was my own opi-
nion. I did not say that it was a matter of necessity,
hut I stated that, whether the relief should be given by
the imposition of a duty on foreign corn was a matter
which rested upon the judgment of the constituencies,
hat that I thought that was a desirable mode ot affording
relief to the agricultural classes. I hold to that opinion
still; but I state again that that is a question which must
be left td the constituencies of the country; and, more-
tover, if it give any satisfaction to the Noble Earl, and to
the Noble Lords opposite, my opinion is, -from what I
have since heard and learned, there certainly will not
be in favour of the re-imposition of a duty on foreign

[PRICE SD.

1 corn that extensive majority, without which, as I stated
to your Lordships at the beginning of the session, it
would not be desirable'to propose it."—Cheers from the
Opposition benches.)
In what. let us ask is this declaration in the slightest
degree inconsistent with the often. repeated statement of
tho Noble Lcrd, that unless a large majority in the new
Parliament declured for a duty on corn, he would not
propose it? That statement is not new. It was made
in opposition--7it was made on accepting office. We
think no true friend of the agricultural interest should
esk for more. But bo this opinion right or wrong, we known for the last two years exactly what we
have to expect from Lord Derby. We were not to find
in him a minister Who would stake his existence, as a
minister, upon the re-imposition of a duty on corn. He
never said that this was a measure of such necessity as
to justify a public man -in declining office unless he
could carry it. But he 'did say then, and he says so
still, that his own individual ?pinion is in favour of it,—
nay, more, he says that•he is ready to advise Parlia-
ment and the ,Sovereign ,to adopt it, if the
next general election shall return smell a ma-
jority of Protectionists as will justify 'that course. '
It is quite true—let_ our enemies make the Most-
of it—.that he added that he now 'believed that there
would not be such a , majority. Well; this is a
matter of indiviarial opinion. If it be an error in cal-
culation, it implies no unfaithfulness. The greedy haste
with, whir* the Opposition seiz II upon the statement
proves nothing but the terror which in their heart of
hearts haunts them of the protective system which they
profess. to believe dead. It was, perhaps, .wilifor-the
conntry-thailli-eir . misrepiesentationi again called up
the Noble Earl. Words cannot be clearer, more ex-
plicit, nor, we repeat, declaration more eaplicit than that
%
whichtheir ' ill-timed -boasting" elicited from the Pre-
mier:—

" When the Noble Marquis opposite says that I have
abandoned all wish or intention to make such a proposi-
tion, I must take the liberty of saying that the Noble
Marquis has gone one step too far.—(Hear, hear.) I have
said that I will not submit the proposition without a fair
majority. I have intimated that we are not likely to
have such a majority, as far as I can judge from pre-
sent appearances. But if the sense of the people be
different from what I anticipate, then I hold to my
former opinion—namely, that there is no other
mode in dealing with the finances of the country so ad-
vantageous for providing for the exigencies of the coun-
try as that which I have so often enunciated. But, my
Lords, the Noble Earl said (addressing me), ' Having
abandoned all idea of at any time re-imposing a duty en
corn, will you not go a step further, and declare you will
do nothing whatever for the purpose of what some Noble
Lords please to call ' tampering' with the existing sys-
tem?' Now, my Lords, if the Noble Earl means to
ask me whether, as Minister—if I am unable to afford
relief to the suffering agricultural interests one way (in
the way in which I believe it can be most advantageously
afforded), I can therefore propose to abandon them
altogether, and seek no other mode of relieving them—
my Lords, not only have I not said that, not only will I
not say that, but it is the very opposite of what I have
said, and which I will repeat now. I declare, whatever
may bo the consequence as to the support or oppo-
sition of Right Hon. Gentlemen or Noble Lord:,
here or elsewhere, that it is the purpose of the Govern-
ment to seek to afford a just and equitable relief to those
classes, who, even if for the benefit of the community
at large, have been made victims and sufferers. And
I believe that in the English people there is such a sense
of justice that they will not see one class, or two or
three classes, deprived of advantages which they have
hitherto enjoyed. I say, therefore, my Lords, distinctly,
that it is my intention, and it is the wish of the Govern- 1
ment and the determination of the Government, to direct
their attention to the best mode they can devise of re-
listing those suffering interests. The extent of the
nature of that relief may not be within our command or '
control, but to the affording that relief, and at the same
time with full justice to all classes of the community, I
declare now, and I have declared before, the attention of
of the Government will be directed; end we shall bold
it to be our paramount duty, in some shape or other, to
afford that relief to those classes who have been suffer-
ire:, for the good, if it be for the goad, of the rest of
the community."
We have quoted this passage at length, because we
believe it puts our true position fairly, clearly, and un-
mistakeably. We have now .a Minister in office who
does not consider the re-imposition of a duty on corn a
matter of such necessity as to oblige him to stake the
existence of his Ministry upon it. But who believes
that duty ought to be reimpnsed, and is therefore ready
and willing to propose it if the persons who agree with
him in the country will give him a majority in the new
Parliament that will justify it. But, if such a declara-
tion of the opinion of the country be not mede, then
he is pledged to this, that in some other mode he will
still attempt to alleviate the injustice that is now done
to the agricultural interest. We protest we conceive
this declaration is all that the most ardent friend of the
agricultural interest can ever either expect or desire.
Saying so, of course we imply that it is utterly false to
represent the Noble Earl as having, by this statement,
abandoned, retracted, cr qualified his opinions on the
subject of protection ; and with this brief explanation
we confidently submit the matter to the calm judgment
and common sense of Englishmen.

the least part of the attraction to most of those who will

-Aise, however, the odds are carefully
registered
and announced; and the owner of the
establishment takes or gives odds ugainst all corners.
In ;fact, he keeps the bank against all gamblers.
He is a " leg " by profession, and he has all the chances
of his position in his favour. -He is all but certain to
win, anyhow. He starts his concern at an expense of
about two pounds, invested in a single desk and para. 1
tion, like those at savings banks, and in a few yarns of
flaunting paper. The walls of the" office " ate covered

with lists and states of tithe odds: Eirery person who
bets with the affix-keeper deposits his money—his
shilling, half-crown, crown, or sovereign—and the °dice-
keeper, unless " unavoidably absent from town," pays
his losings after the race. These houses, on the eve of
a areat race, spring up with the fatal fecundity of fungi.
Within a circle of a quarter of a mile radius from our
own office, we enumerated, yesterday afternoon, the fol-
lowing- bettingofficee:—rn the Strand, between St.
Mary's Church .and Temple-bar, 4; in Exeter 'Change,
1; in Catherine-street, 1; in Bow-street, an in Eadeli-
street, 2; in Great Russell-street; 4; in New Oxford-
street, 4; in Bloomsbury-street, 1; in St. Giles's,
2; in Great Queen-street, 1; in Long-acre, 3; in St.
Martin's-lane, 1 ; and in Chandoe-street, 2.
We confined our examinaticn to these streets. At the
dinner hour yesterday, every one of these plows was
crowded, not only by specimens of the low, greasy, tat-
tered, professional gambler clans, but by clerks
bearing begs, sober-seeming mechsuics shouldering
thcir tools,
ehopmen, errand-boys, anti tidy tradesmen.
The statistics of this sort of betting may be further illus-
trated as follows :—A betting price-current. the Odds,
is peblished daily in time for post; the Racing Times
elliims a circulation of 16,000 weekly, at 3d.; and the
Penny Racing Times is not likely to be behicd it. We
are informed by a credible person, aho himself keeps
on 9 of these houses, that, after the runes, nine out of
ten of theta will be closed; and that vast numbers of de-
luded victims who have already staked and paid' their
money, will find on Friday morning, the office shut, and
the offiee-keepk• a " levantor " with all his receipts.
Add to all this the facilities given by telegraphic com-
munication for " cooking" or falsifying the odds—add
alto the very refitted abd elaborate calculations which
are necessary to enable even a professional " turEte" to
" make a sale book" and the chances against the artizan

DAILY NEWS.—Amongst ether important things
done at the meeting of delegates from Mechanics' Insti-
tuting at the Scietety of Arts last week, Mr. Tufnell
suggested the propriety of copies of Parliamentary
papers being given by Parliament to the various local
literary institutions. This suggestion, as might bo sup-
posed, was very cordially received, and certainly deserves
support. Several .petitions have been presented to the
Legislature on the subject, and these we published yes-
' terday -not only to show what has been already done,
but to point out the way which others should follow.
The Mechanics' Institute at Gateshead, the Cheltenham
Literary and Philosophical Institution, the Derby Mecha-
nics' Institution, the,Macclesfield Society for the Ac-
quirement of Useful Knowledge, the Literary and Scien-
tific Institution in Tiverton have petitioned the louse
of Commeus to supply them with these sessional
papers and Acts of Parliament free of expense. Tne
Gateshead petitioners intimate their willingness
to have all eucfi documents thrown open to the in-
spection of resident non-members free of expense.
With respect to Acts of Parliament, it may be remarked
that one great difficalty in modern English legislation is
to devise efficient means of promulgsaing new laws.
Nemini fleet igncrari is the maxim of the law courts when
any luckless Wight pleads ignorance of any special law;
but how is any man to acquire a knowledge of all the
multiform statutes that are annually hatched by Parlia-
ment? It is vain to think of having these bulky and
innumerable documents proclaimed, as in simpler times,
by beat of drum at the market cross, or stuck up on the
church door; how are Englishmen to be informed of
what they are held bound under penalties to do or ab-
stain from? The Legislature culpably neglects its
' duty, so long as it takes no measures to have all English-
men made cognisant of all laws. An important step
will be taken towards this desirable end, by adopting
measures enabling all Englishmen to read with intelli-
gence and plainly all new laws within their reach. For
this the establishment of elementary secular schools in
every district of moderate extent is one requisite, but
not of itself sufficient. The encouragement of local free
libraries is necessary to enable men to turn to practical
account the art of reading acquired in elementary
schools. And wherever such local free libraries aro
eetablisheel, there ought Acts of Parliament to be sent,
for deposit and preservation, in order that the general
public may have access to know their contente. The
sessional papers of Parliament are only second in import-
ance to its acts. Absurd, redundant, and often silly
though these documents be, they contain an immense
quantity of valuable information, chat is nowhere else to
be found. The mass of the population—even of the more
easy and wealthy classes—have not only no means of ob-
taining access to these sources of information, but no
means of learning what they contain. To enable the public
to form a coact judgment on the great political and econo-
mical questions now at issue, it is indispensable that they
should at least have in their power to learn what the
sessional papers contain, and to consult them occa-
eionally. With proper precanhon and judicioue selec-
tion, compliance with the petitions of the institutions
above alluded to, might be made instrumental in pro-
moting the greet objects of notional education, and a
