Among other matters of speculation connected with
Prince Albert is the title of the Dukedom which will be
conferred upon him, if, indeed, he be so ill-advise{] as to
accept of a British peerage. Some title already digni-
fied by having belonged to a Royal personage would
probably be selected ; but care should be taken lest.one
be chosen which, though supposed to be extinct, does in
fact belong to some individual ; and the possibility of
such a mistake is shown by the following instances,
which are not generally known :—lti 1706, Queen Anne
created the Electoral Prince of Hanover (afterwards
King George the Second), Baron of Tewkesbury, Viscount
Northallerton, Earl of Milford Haven, and Marquis and
Duke of Cambridge, to hold to him and the heirs male of
his body. la 1717, Frederick Lewis, eldest son of the
Prince of Wales, was made Duke of Gloucester ;
and in 1726, he was created Baron Snowdon, Viscount
Launceston, Ead of Eltham, Marquis of Ely, and
Duke of Edinburgh. The limitation of all those honours
being " to him and the heirs toxic (1 his body," they
were inherited by his sou Prince George, afterwards
King George the Third. It has been supposed that
the Dukedoms of Cambridge, Gloucester, and Edin-
burgh, and all the other dignities above mentioned, be-
came so completely lost in the regal dignity on the ac-
cession of Kings George the Second and Third as to
be utterly extinct; and upon this presumption similar
titles were conferred upon various branches of the
Royal family. As George 111. was the heir male of
George 11,, and as George IV. and Vvllliam IV. were
the heirs male of George 111., all the honours in
question would have devolved upon those personages,
under the limitations in the patents, so that there could
have been no question on the subject ; but, on the
accession of Queen Victoria, the Sovereign and the heir
male of the bodies of George 11. and George 111. were
for the first time different individuals ; and it conse-
quently appears that the Dukedoms of Cambridge,
Gloucester, and Edinburgh, the Marquisates of Ely
and Cambridge, the Earldoms of Milford Haven and
Eltham, the Viscounties of Northallerton and Launces-
ton, and the Baronies of Tewkesbury and Snowdon,
have devolved upon the King of Hanover, as
heir male of his father and great grandfather, to whom
they were granted by the patents of 1706, 1717, and I
1726. The dictum of Lord Hale and other authori-
ties seem decisive upon the point. By the common
law, whatever the King may acquire after he comes to
the crown vests in a politic capacity ; but what he pos-
sessed before his accession, or inherits from a collateral
ancestor after his accession, vests in a natural Capacity.
Hence the honours a King may have possessed before
his accession remain in their original state, and when
the heir to whom they were limited is a different person
from the Sovereign, they will necessarily descend to I
such heir, instead of being (as is erroneously supposed)
destroyed by their temporary union with the Royal
dignity.

There are, however, several Royal titles which would
be fitting for Prince Albert, and to which no one has
any pretensons. York, Kent, and Clarence, in Eng-
land—Albany, Strathearn, and Saint Andrew, in Scot-
land—Ulster and Dublin, in Ireland—afford a sufficient
choice ; and most of these names are rich in historical
associations. " Kendal" has been suggested, apparently
because it was the E.;rldom of Prince George of Den-
mark : but it ought not to be chosen, for though it
formed part of the honours of the great Duke of
Bedford, brother of Henry the Fifth, and afterwards
of the Beauforts Dukes of Somerset, was given to
John de Foix, a Gascon—neat as a barony to
Prince Rupert—was the Dukedom to which an infant
son of James Duke of Yolk was nominated in 1666,
and was afterwards granted to Prince George of Den-
mark—the name lost all its lustre by being conferred
upon Madame de Schulcnberg, mistress of George the
First, who was created Duchess of Munster in Ireland,
and Duchess of Kendal in England, by her Royal
lover. It has since been the title of a Barony granted
to Sir James Lowther, Earl of Lonsdale ; but it be-
came extinct on his death, in ISO 2.

The manner in which Prince Albert's peerage should
be limited is deserving of consideration. If in the usual
terms, to the " heirs male of his body," his honours might
eventually descend to those for whom they were never
designed—namely, to the sons of any other marriage,
on the failure of male issue by this : and such a con-
tingency shows the propriety of Prince Leopold's not
having had a Peerage with a limitation of that descrip-
tion. The most judicious plan seems to limit Prince
Albert's honours to the second son of bis marriage with
Queen Victoria; for the eldest son will be the Duke of
Cornwall at his birth, and will of course be soon after
created Prince of Wales.—Spectator.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.

PROM THE MORNING PAPERS Or THIS DAY.
(From the Morning Chronicle.)
Should Sir Robert Peel return to power, it must
be as the repealer of the Catholic Emancipation Act.
This is the purpose, and this alone, for which there is
any chance of mustering a sufficient array of partizans
to force him upon his reluctant Sovereign, and make him
against her will and that of her people, the lord of both.
This is the watchword at which the Conservative
bands now muster. This is the spirit, whatever may
be the pretext, of the loudly threatened effort to be
made on the meeting of Parliament. Nobody wants
Peel but as the repealer ; nor dares he disclaim the
character. It is as much as his leadership is worth.
In the political world he is nothing at all, unless he
submit to become a double. apostate. His arithmetic
must raise Judas into the second power, or he sinks
into a negative quantity. Ile may wistfully cast about
for an equivocation ; but the demon his partisans have
raised will not be trifled with. 'Whatever the subject ofdis-
cussion and division, the vote, should there ever be
such a vote, that establishes him in Downing-street,
abrogates the principle of civil and religious liberty in
the 'British Constitution. The Tory clergy of Kent, in
the proceedings which we yesterday recorded, have
evinced their determination of humbling Sir Robert Peel
to the very utmost. They tell him, in fact, that
he has his character for bigotry to redeem before his
name can be treated respectfully. They will not accept
him as an authority in favour of their .own opinions.
Towards him they deem the civility misplaced which
the Bishop of London showed to Lord Brougham by
his education speech at the great IL:acting in Willis's
rooms. The striking out of the Ke.eish clerical reso-
lution of Sir Robert Peel's name :.11;.1 quoted ()Pinion,
is an act of contemptuous scum, such as has rarely
le:en exhibited towards any public man. What a
spirit must that be which submits to the leader-
ship of marching before, so as to be kicked
by every man that marches behind ! Such is
the present leadership of Sir Pobert Peel. More-
over, his followers have " c!outed shoon:' He
bears it tearely. It is the only the bravery he exhibits.
Clergy and laity, Peers and operatives, all are alike un-
ceremonious with the unhappy mortal whom they are
trying to spurn into place, that be may do their bid-
dieg. There is not a drunken Manchester Conserva-

tivc operative but will have his gibe, end his reproach,
and his kick at the leader of his faction. The game is
fine fun ; they paint " great statesman" on the football,
and they spurn it round tht ring. The Manches-
ter Tories, it seems, are organised lie the Chartists or
the Orangemen. NVe pretend not to penetrate the
mystery of their numbers and divisions ; bat it appears,
by the local journals, and their metropolitan echoes,
that " No. 13" has been dining in very superb fashion.
The Rector of St. John's belongs to No. 13; and it seems
altogether to be the most orthodox, Conservative, and
important of all the numbers, unless it be number
one, always the first in Tory consideration. In the
opinion of No. 13, Sir Robert Peel bears away the
bell of senatorial eloquence from " Pitt and Fox, and
Sheridan and Burke." In fact, No. 13, in its munifi-
cence, promises that he shall " wear the imperial purple,
and stand at the Monarch's right hand." But then
comes the condition of this handsome prophecy, no
song no sapper ; no kick no pimple ; and No. 13, by a
mouth-pitee called W. Harper ( not the trumpeter, unless
on this occasion he played ha ckwards), blows the fol-
lowing ominous signal blast, for its nominal commander.
We give the entire passage, as a specimen of what Tory
leaders must endure :
"It a ill be readily conceded, Sir, that Sir Robert, at
heart, is h stanch Conservative.—s Conservative from
education, association, and constitutional bias. Ah I Sir,
that he should ever have swerved from his prine'ples
that he should ever have lent bin isehf to the furthering of

rail, though all forsake us, he will he true / He will be our
polar star still—a pillar of fire to liftlit us when the dark and
Fowling night of the factions preve.7ls. Yet this unconsti-
tutional tree, of moose fruits of bitterness and ashes we are
now eating, was planted by Sir Robert Peel 1 He let out
the waters of strife and sedition„ which now run divers
Ways through the land, threate sing unless Providence
tvcrt it, one day to unite their at reams, and sweep away
I ill in one common desolation. Had Sir Robert but
acted consistently, sure I am he would have stood
much higher at this moment, not only in the estima-
tion of his own pnrtv, but in that of others.—(Cheers. )
Why, fir, how degraded he must hare; appeared in his own
evcs, how humbled in his own heart,. when he stood up rib make
appear,'
as he wa s well qualified to do, the worse the better
reason when he turned round, or it were, upon himself,
eatinglup all his unanswerable argueneuts against this measure.
There he stood, the scorn ofh is enenties, the pity of his fd iends
But, Sir, there had been a mighty influence at work with
him ! Royalty itself had, it is said, asked his countenance
tvai aid 1 Coroneted heads stooped down and craved com-
pliance ! What could he do ? The seduction was too
much—he was mortal—he fell ! Yet it was an error of '
the bead, and not of the heart. No ; tho heart is still right,
and there is to be no further surrender.—(l,oed cheers.)
What of good remains to us is to be diligently and faith-
fully kept. Therefore we will rally round Sir Robert;
