Crupic , peculiar to ConsLrvatisni"—which vyo hw:e,
no hesitation in saying, is a sly, grave, ironical witti-
cism worthy of Dean SWIFT.

The Reformers of Glossop and its neighbourhood,
on Thursday last, gave a public dinner to the Hon.
G. H. CAVENDISH and H. EVANS, Esq., the
representatives of North Derbyshire. The company,
as might have been expected, was numerous, and of
the first respectability. Flow could it be otherwise,
when the object was to celebrate one of the greatest
victories gained by the Liberals during the late elec-
tions ? We heartily wish that the excellent organiza-
tion, the bold and active spirit, the determined resis-
tance to intimidation, and undue influence of every
hind, which North Derbyshire displayed, had been
found in other counties. We should not, in that case,
have witnessed the rampant triumph of the petty ty-
rants of the soil, in so many of the agricultural districts.
On Mr. CAVENDISH'S health being given from the
Chair, the Honourable Gentleman made an excel-
ent speech, which we should have been happy,
ad our limits allowed, to transfer entire to our
We can, however, find room only for
a very small portion of it. After alluding to former
victories over the factious gang which infests the
county of Derby, and declaring his resolution to stand
forth in defence of Reform, and to cafry out its princi-

columns.

pies to their full extent in practical measures, the Hon.
Member thus proceeded—" He would show his attach-
ment to those principles which he thought were calcu-
lated for the benefit of the people, and would support
the present Government, who had won the confidence
and attachment of the people, because they were wil-
ling to give such measures as were in accordance with
the wish and voice of the people ; and not only this,
but they supported the present Government, be-
cause, if they went out of office, the Tories
would come in. It remained to be seen whe-
ther Lord MELBOURNE'S present Government
would be able to maintain their position.
He trusted and believed that they would be able to
maintain their posts.—(Cheers.) He trusted that
they would find that their majority would increase.—
(Cheers.) He knew that great efforts would be
made on the part of the Tories to send in peti-
tions, particularly against the Irish Members, in
order to upset their majority ; but with respect to the
only Irish elections of which he knew any thing, if

the petitions were not founded on better reasons than
were at present alleged, there would be very little
hope of the Tories being successful.—(Cheers.)
Haying referred to the public measures brought
forward by her MAJEsTY's present Ministers, the
Honourable Member took occasion to congratulate

the meeting upon the brilliant success which
Bail attended theii: exertions at the recent registra-
tion." He next alluded to several charges of a per-
sonal nature which had been brought against him by
_ _

his opponents. The Honourable Member concluded
by expressing his conviction that the cause of Reform
was spreading, and that the violent attacks now making
upon it by the advocates of Toryism, had entirely
failed.—(Loud cheers.)
The speech of Mr. EVANS was in unison with that
of his colleague. The Hon. Member gave the Tories
some bald hits, which we think they will not soon for-
get, though their memories are extremely complaisant
when they have anything unfavourable to Toryism to
remember.

We have papers from Madrid to the 6th inst., but
they contain no positive intelligence of any moment.
General NA RVA EZ, so long in disgrace, has again ap-
peared in the capital. We would like much to see
him placed as Commander-in-Chief at the head of the
army. He is the only Spanish officer that displayed
anything like high military talents since the commence-
ment of the civil war. In the southern provinces the
elections have been disturbed by the violence of the
ultra-Liberal and moderate parties. Some outrages,

but not of a very serious character, occurred in Cadiz.
At Cordova the Priests had the game to themselves,
and everywhere the ecclesiastics meddled and tampered
with the electors in such a manner as greatly to pro-
voke the old Constitutionalists. No Ministry has yet
been appointed, nor did the Cortes in their sittings
hazard an observation or ask a question on the subject.
From the theatre of war no intelligence was received
later than the accounts published in this journal yes-
terday.

The whole of the Paris papers of Thursday have
been received. Their contents are unimportant. No
telegraphic despatches, either from Spain or Africa ;
and the private correspondence of the Journals not of
a later date than the accounts published in the London
papers of yesterday. On the subject of the rumoured
illness of the Pretender, the Courrier Fran cais—a
►ilreral, well-informed Journal—has the following inte-
resting article :

" For some days past the protectors and friends of Don
Carlos have been more alarmed for the health than for the
military operations of the Prince. An orderly officer who
returned to Paris last week, and who has already passed
the Rhine, brought information sufficiently alarming to ren-
der any casualty probable, and the first point agreed upon
is that everything is to be kept as secret as possible. The
Pretender, as far as can be ascertained, is not attacked with
a characteristic organic malady, but with a combination of
evils that have reduced him to a state of physical and moral
languor, against which the least ignorant of his physicians
have been unable to find a remedy. He himself appears
resigned, and thinks only of his salvation in another world.
The multiplicity of his devotional exercises, his self-imposed
obligations, and his almost daily confessions, are beginning
to weary his most attached followers—even those who dig-
nify him before-hand with the title of "Ile Sainted King.'
Don Carlos, however, pays no attention to their murmurs,
as he believes his end fast approaching ; and, if any credit
may be given to some of his attendants, who have no inte-
rest in concealment, he has already made his will. He
leaves to the Bishop of Leon and his colleagues the task
of attending to his temporal affairs, but he will be guided
only by his own ideas in matters which he conceives inte-
resting to the salvation of his soul."
Happily for his friends, Don CARLOS cannot be-
queath to them the tortures of remorse which haunt
him day and night, filling his mind with agony and
despair. The cold-blooded murders, perpetrated by
his commands, will not be forgotten. The cries of
the widow and the orphan ring incessantly in his ears.
There is no memory so faithful as that of the guilty—
no monitor so stern, remorseless, sleepless, and impla-
cable, as conscience. Die when he may, posterity
will point to the Durango decree as his appropriate
epitaph.
The French organ of the Carlist faction, the Gazette
de France, has a letter from St. Jean de Luz of the
7th inst., filled with execrations of England and the
English, in consequence of the injuries inflicted upon
the Carlists by the San Sebastian expedition of the
33, for the liberation of the Christino prisoners at
Marquina. General O'DONNELL is styled the " in-
cendiary," it being alleged that he burnt the villages
of Deba, Motireo, and Ondana, besides committing
several other wanton and barbarous excesses. The
testimony of the correspondent of a journal so noto-
rious for its falsehoods, relative to every thing English
as the Gazette de France, is worth very little indeed.
Since the commencement of the civil war in
the Peninsula, hardly a day passed in which it
did not invent and give currency to some calumny,
calculated to excite a detestation of England in the
minds of its readers. Now this, to say the least of it,
is unkind, if not ungrateful. Though ever ready to
sympathize with the French Liberal party, England
never refused the rights of hospitality to the exiled
oppressors of France. If we recognized LOUIS
PHILLIPPE, we granted an asylum to CHARLES the
TENTH. We restored the Bourbons, and kept them
