All these topics, and many others then, must press
themselves upon the immediate attention of the
new Parliametit. We have a pledge in the firm-
ness, the activity, and patriotism of the new King,
that neither the Ministers nor the Parliament will be
allowed to sleep at their pasts. Indeed, were they
so inclined, it would be madness little short of that

resume: his slumbers while his neighbour's house was

loud enough or sufficient, a thundering has come

The Courier deities diet the suggestion which it
threw out relative to the arming with mortal
weapon& the new police at night was a feeler, and
then, as " gentle dulness over loves a juke," pro-
ceeds to perpetrate a very bud one, by saying we
can feel for men who are exposed to miduight assas-
sination by ruffians whose bud passion have been
touted by the exciting language (we do not say in-
tentionally so) of a portion of the Press in their be-
half, and against those who are employed to check
them ; and then an allusion is made to the " poor
fellow who was murdered." It is difficult to say
whether all this is more ridiculous or malignant. We
are told one day that the policeman in question met
'Ms death by :doing his duty in watching 0 gang of
burglars, end that several housebreskitigimplements
were found near the spot ; the next day, we are
assured, on the very same authority, that the moo-
sins were instigated to commit the atrocious crime
by the journalists who object to the new pollee
system as a dengerous novelty in the Constitution.
We were not aware that burglars were in the habit
of reading newspeper discussions upon Comititu-
tionel points, or that political motives were a stronger
inducement to thorn to commit such a crime than a
love of plunder. However, we cannot say to what

to popular authorities. Here lies the whole differs
