METROPOLITAN POLITICAL

SUMMARY.

The Courier of last evening, in a leading article
on Lord Mahon's speech, in the House of Commons on
Thursday night, respecting controverted elections, calls
it a " speech characterised by excellent 'cmper and marked
ability." This is the only approach to anything
like an opinion that we can discover in the whole
of our Contemporary's article. The Courier in
another article on the Corn-laws observes, " there is a
decided majority in both Houses of Parliament in favour of
the famine code, and even in the Cabinet there is as yet a
division. Whether that division be on the principle of the
question, or merely on the expediency of bringing it for-
ward as a Government measure, we have no means of
knowing. We incline to the latter opinion."
In an article on the subject of Lord Morpeth's introduction
on Thursday night into the House of Commons, of a Bill
for the better regulation of the Irish Municipal Corporations,
the Globe remarks as follows :—" We hail with pleasure
this early redemption of the pledge given to re• introduce
the Bill which the Commons very properly rejected after it
had been emasculated by the Lords, and with the introduc-
tion of provisions into it of a more popular character than
that of the last Session."
The Standard, alluding to the Duke of Wellington's no-
tice of a motion on Thursday night for the despatches of Sir
F. [lead, says—" we anticipate that of course Lord Glenelc,
will on this occasion be made the scape-geat of 11Iinib
sters ;" and adds, "for anything that is known, the -
worst
measures ostensibly proceeding from Lord Glenel
have been measures forced upon him." Our Conttrnpo-
may,
rary, in another paragraph of the same article, observes,
which is not the case, that Lord Brougham last night
tured to sneer "at the prevailing passion for railway v„en-
n s
lation ; " and then indulges in lavish commendations on-
railways and steam navigation.
