METROPOLITAN POLITICAL,

SUMMARY.

The Morning Herald of this day contains a tea(ssay
de strongly in condemnation of Lord John Russell, r;2 de_
conduct, in reference to the Corn-law he
Glared to be " worthy of the Administration to will' aaubt
belongs,"an opinion which our vixen Contemporary no eu
conceives to be the bitterest and most truculent sap arr.
" Lord John Russ.ll," adds the Herald, may be u•
stood to have given the landowners And farmer s
.0,:
which be viU,
question" t
England fair warning as to the course Lor (
rt:e1111P
adopt on the Corn-laws, inasmuch as' his
somewhat tauntingly recommended Sir Robert
and the great Conservative party of whicL' he is t"e,-:11' id
leader, to assume, if they pleased, that Go,i'ernmen•aiLlv,
support Mr. Villier's motion, and to prepre :d
F Englabto
and we trust that the farmers and landowners P
will prepare to meet the emergency. It is ireflcssi,ibil,eb -
place further, reliance on the miserable and xrga,t,-v„,/°.
nest Cabinet that now presides over the destinies et "7,,
land." On the subj..:ct of Sir Francis Heed's jlee,;,
published letter, the Morning Herald observes, of
quite obvious, whatever the Goverment prints may Sea fir
the matter, that Sir Francis Head has been- betra)e
the same purpose for which Lord Glenelg: was trea Cbe
ously sacrificed—to propitiate Lord Durham..
The Morning Post, speaking of the Marquis of rlo
manby's resignation of the Irish Viceroyalty, glees it of
following on dits :—" The office of Lord Lientemin.
Ireland g& es a-begging. We have reason to believe that I,
has been offered to Lord Radnor, and after less than 24 belurs„,
consideration refused by the Noble Earl. We have ren
to believe that it has been offered to Lord Tavistuelt_B:‘,
after a period of deliberation still more brief, refused al° s
the Noble Marquis. The., general impression yesterdaY Was
that. Ministers, after theset two refusals, had made a tender°
the office to Lord Albemarle, and that there e'l.
tome probability of this Noble Earl relieving the Ge,rela "
meat from its embarasseeent upon the subject.' r,
a leading article on the Corn-laws, our Contempeet
states that " the public declaration of Lord Melboutunie:
that he ties himself an advocate for the existing aiticity,
from entertaining a conviction of its paramount aut rice
was, pro tanto, good ; but whatever degree of iputicei in
this declaration might by possibility have exercise
law
calming the calculated agitation of the AlltiC°/113
conspirators, his Lordship, at the moment he uttere
rat,
neutralized and destroyed, by intimating that--his 113 a
conviction notwithstanding—he cal y demanded sin a
degree of pressure from without, as might afford '17.10
decent excuse for yielding, to concede the whole Matte'
dispute." ea
The Morning Chronicle, in a short leading article,
the subject of Education, observes, with perfect trilk:s
" when Lord Brougham commenced his valuable lahsse;e
on Education, the Clergy of the Church of England 11-10
not yet awake; and we suspect, if he had not roused tiler;
they would have slumbered on to this day. lb° ire
iltuaf
historian will not forget, that of the United Churatree,
England and Ireland, the English branch suffered tulth
centuries. to pass without once concarning then:lol°,s: b
the education of the people; and the Irish branch, tujogn.
Lon-
sworn to keep schools, violated their oaths." °al' bleb
temporary has another article on the Corn-laws, in oe
he makes a strenuous appeal to the justice and good se
of the agriculturists. louse
The Times, speaking of a brief discussion in the
of Commons last night respecting the Corn-laws, eei,:e
" It had been generally believed, and we ourselves belie
still, that the design of Ministers is to roist • the
bar °
lion of evidence respecting the Corn.la.ws at the
the House." Lela
The Morning Advertiser contains an article oe - • s
Durham's Report ; in the course of which, institutiatry
parallel between Ireland and Canada, our Contemiggiaso
remarks, " in both countrie'a the adminiatrationd of the,•oo
'aensa`i
has been the contest of faction, and not the p rof
of justice; and in both countries have similar causes P
duced similar results. "
