the Honourable the Commons of the- United Kindeina
Great Britain and Ireland, in Picrliament asseadiled—"il,•
htnnble Petition of the undersigned Merchants, Bali: I
and other inhabitants of
_Linden :
" Sheweth,—That it is of high importance to the.
of' the commerce, manufactures, and agriculture of this e-
yin
try, and to the promotion of civilization. in every reale, !i•
communication by post -sliouhtbe -swift, certain, anti
cher
"-That although such corninunication is now generit!!,• 0 4
tain, yet owing to the infreetienej.'of transmission, ;:,td to .
t.
slowness of delivery, it is not, so-swift as it reathly
and it is not cheap. • - - •
" That these great evils of slowness and dearness are V'
pioduCtive •of any advantage to-die revenue sufficient ;
counterbalance their injurious effects. • • -
" That as , regards the latter evil in particular, you; p 071.,
tioners are decidedly of opinion that the dearness of poi!,
instead of being beneficial to the revenue, is positively iajuii •14
to' it, owing to the great amount of illicit carriage of Ic!ett,
under the present
_system, and to the great extent to ttilazip
communication is altogether prevented. •
"'That so powerful have been the causes acting, against Cut.
Post-office revenue--the chief of which, in the opinion of p-air
petitioners, is the high rate of postage—that during the last 21)
Scars, while the population of the country has increased nearly
one-third, and education'and commerce have extended in es.-ea
,a greater ratio, the receipts fiem the Post-office have not in-
creased at all.
That owing to the present ease of conveyance betw-eti
all the post towns in the country, and to the great ne;:nber of
letter's generally carried together, the cost of transmissim
when divided among the separate letters is almost in-eiercepti-
ble, and may be left out of consideration in determining t
ate
rate cf postage.
*" Thee the- cost. .of the general, management of the Post-
office lcould be greatly reduced by the establiihment of a teiik
li„rin irate of postage, and the facility of delivery greatly ia-
eteasedeby•requiring.tireat
.sueb:pOtage should be .paid
• ' •
-7".lroit'r petitioners therefore pray your 'Honourable Hou •
that a uniform and low rate of postage may be established, Li.
stead of the present varying and high rate.
"That such rate be henceforth one penny (paid in advance)
for every letter or packet of letters under half an ounce in
weight; with rn additional penny for each additional half otil,ce
to any couvenieut amount.

" That advantage maybe taken of the facilities which exist
(particularly as respects large towns) for the more frequ. nt
transmission of the mails than once in twenty-four hours.
" And your petitioners will every pray."

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS.

The case of Colonel Bradley, or rather perhaps
the accusation against Colonel Arthur, came before
the House as the first public business of the evening.
Our readers will remember Mr. Duncombe's allusion
to the transaction lastyear. There was certainly suffi-
cient ground.in the statement that gentleman made to
justify him in his course; but the very strong .counter-
evidence produced by Lord Howick, the time that had
elapsed since the deed complained of had been com-
mitted, and the necessity of restraining-Parliament to
the most cautious reception of this species of com-
plaint, which, if too readily indulged, would soon be-
come an intolerable nuisance, justified the Government
in -opposing a Committee. Mr. Duncombe's reply,
however, to Lord Howick, who had himself spoken
well, was both able and spirited. He made our., indeed,
a better case than in his opening speech, for he
alluded to better evidence. But Members seemed to
think the better arguments were, upon the whole,
the other way, and the motion was negatived by
a majority of 81 to 34. Mr. BorthWiek, amidst bets
that the House would he up before he sat dovim, then
introduced his Bill for. National Education. The plan
was a very simple one. The Established Church, or
rather the clergy of the Established Church'(fiar there
is a wide distinction between the two), was to be
charged with educating the people ; and for this ad-
ditional charge they were of course to receive arlditional
pay. Mr. Roebuck said it was an indirect mode of
giving new power to the priesthood ; but this was not
all the merit of the plan—it was a new. mode of
giving the priesthood power in that shape wherein
they most love it, viz., "in the silver and
gold" with which the Founder of Christianity
told his followers they ought especially 'c not to
provide " themselves. No marvel, then, that it
was seconded by Mr. Trevor, who saiiti some-
thing of expressing himself seriously. Domes Mr.
Trevor think he is a joker at any time-. ?
House, however, contrary to expectation., stood out
both Mr. Trevor and Mr. Borthwick : it almost. seemed
likely to live the evening. . But no; it is M. Borth-
wick's peculiar property to act as a diSF,olvent upon
that assembly. A question as to w-hether it was
strictly in order to proceed • with a YJill requiring a
grant of money, except in a Committee of the House,
arose. Mr. Borthwick was for wit'ndrawing his mo-
tin). Mr. Hawes would not all.ciw the motion to be
withdrawn. In' this dilemma tie Recorder of Lon-
don, anxious to sustain the J.{onourable Member for
Evesham's accustomed . character, moved that the
House do adjourn.; and the House having such a
favourable opportunity of getting. rid of Mr. Borth-
.wick, and of two or three other 'dry and spec'h-loving
motion. mak'sa.s, went with the Recorder. Thus--
exit... Pair. Borthwick.—Morning Chronicle.

Duncombe brought forward his nantion last
night, in the House of Commons, that the petition of
Colonel Bradley should be referred to a Select Com-
mittee, which was lost by a Majority of 47. There' is
no man in the House of Commons in whose adharei.ce
to principle—in whose determination to do justice—in
whose honour and fidelity we 'have equal confidem i;
and we think the Government 'Would have best consul ;ed
their own charaCter and the justice of the case by slap-
porting the Hon.MeMber's motion. Serious allegations
have been brought forward against Col. Arthur, w hich
it was as much for the honour of that Gallant Oiffieer
to have investigated, as it was desirable in orlier to
forward the ends of justice. We alloW the Gallant
Gentleman the benefit of the legal principle, th.az. every
man is innocent until convicted of apenal clvirge by a
competent authority ; and it is but justice t(i Cola tel
Arthur'to say, that having presented a petition pn q-
ing for investigation, lie has not
.shrunk from the 'ze-
sponsibility of his acts ; hut we think that lard
Howick has acted with some de&ee of ineonsisti my,
in admitting his regret that -colonel Bradley should
have been temovetl from the half-pay without. rtn in-
vestigation into his case, and at'the same tin se oppose
Mr2Dtmeornbe's motion, by which alone tb.e 'merits of
the case could be elicited, an grounds be estahlisbed
for that gentleman's reinstation hi his just rig?nts. As
the case now stands, the parties are in'statu ?no a:ite
belbon ; but as the Select Committee has been re-
fused by the Government, and as Lord ,wick has
admitted that Col. Bradley's removal was incorrect,
we think that it is but an act of justice to Zastore that
