At the last election for Westminster, the Ministry,
of which Lord Melbourne is the official chief, made
common cause with Mr. Leader. Some of the col-
leagues of Lord Melbourne voted for that personage.
-, But who and what is Mr. Leader ? We do not de-
signate him as this or that, on our own authority, but
1; m an authority less open to cavil—viz., hiss own. Mr.
-.1 Leader recommended himself to the electors of West-
minster on that occasion, and he continues to do so in
~. the present instance, as being an advocate for univer-
' sal suffrage, for short Parliaments, for the ballot, for
-.,. the voluntary principle, and for an elective House of
4 Lords—that is to say, for a list of measures which
'.amount in the aggregate to an entire overthrow of the
British 'Monarchy. Whatever name this Mr. Leader
g.i, :herefore might choose to go by, the thing which he
really is differs in no degree from the thing called a Itc-
; publican, and a Republican of a very broad, coarse, and
ruthless breed—namely, a democrat of the Jacobinical.
order. With such a man did the Cabinet of Lord Mel-
bourne gazette itself a partner, by the public support which
it i gave him. Such a man did more than one Member of !
that Cabinet of political swindlers strive to promote
~t.
into a legislator : or, in other words, do their utmost
'-i-, o invest with the power of enacting laws destructive of..
:he Monarchy ; while ill the same breath, and stand-
. ing on the floor of the House of Commons, the very
same Ministers would affect, as they do affect to this 1
hour, an absolute repugnance to all such laws, and a
fixed resolution to oppose every project of an elective .
House of Lords, or for the voluntary principle. Now, .;
what is such conduct but the rankest and most shame-N
iess dishonesty ? But Lord Melbourne and his offi-
cial brethren have not repented of such prac-.•;,
tires. They continue them to this day. Mr.

June 29, 1837.

A testator named Goodale appointed a class of persons,►
Iseventeen in number, his residuary legatees. 1818 the
acting executor took an estimate of the property, and,l
thinking there would be enough to give each of them 100/. !!10
paid that amount to each of seven, who alone were then
,of age. A bill was afterwards filed for the administration
of the estate, ivhen it was ascertained that nothing, in fact,
had been left for the ten other legatc;es. The present was';)
in supplemental bill by those persons, (.?alling upon the repre-E
Isentatives of the executor who had made the payments tn:i,
pay them their shares.of the residue, and, in the event of
his insolvency, requiring the other legatees to refund.
Ilis HONOUR thought that both the executors and the
paid legatees were alike liable to the other legatees, buttt
ibetween themselves the executor was entitled to be repaid'
what it should appear he had overpaid.

The Whigs and the Radicals continue to use di,:
name of their young Queen with very little ceremony.
If there be any truth in their assertions, her Majesty ..
has no friends but in the National Association and;
Brooks's Club. Mr. Hume is a zealous Royalist,''
and Mr. O'Connell the most loyal subject that eve!,

bellion triumphant in the land, al;:! uass the evening o!
our days under the sway of the Lord protector Inglis.
The appeal made to the personal popularity of
our young Sovereign by those who have ever been
the worst enemies of her Sovereignty is as un-
constitutional as any of the devices by which the
Melbourne Ministers have, for three uncomfortabl.
years, protracted their stay in Downing-street. Thi
individual judgments and opinions of the Sovereigi.
ought not, in any instance, to be known but to thosi
confidential advisers in whom the disclosure of them b

certain the bent of the Royal inclination. Upon th,
death of King William the Fourth a successor
asi,ends the Throne whose age and whose sex him'

demonstration of political attachments or politica:
,antipathies. Since her accession she has done ab-•

rendered necessary by the commencement of a no,
reign, Queen Victoria, whom the Radicals claim ,-.
for 'their patroness, has taken no step which would
not have been taken by King William, whom thi ."
Radicals hated as their enemy. There 'never was a
period in which the personal sentiments of the Sove-
reign were so necessarily and so absolutely unknown •
and there never was a period in which the personal'
sentiments of the Sovereign were so publicly and sot
audaciously paraded. It would be vcry easy for thes.l
Conservatives to imitate the effrontery and the trickery
of their opponents. They, too, might drag her Ma..-1
jesty's name into speeches and placards, if they wertiT
not withheld by motives of which their antagonistl
have no consciousness. They might paint their youth-tt
