entry into the House was marked with discour-
tesy enough to make him desire to turn his back on
it for ever, whether he acknowledged the report of
his speech or not, the Tory Lords were so ear :r
for the fray that they rushed to it over all the
obstacles which good breeding and regularity of
proceeding generally impose on their Lordships'
quarrels. We were afraid that the Session would
be tame and dull till last night convinced us
that the train of party warfare is ready laid, and
that every spark will blow the Peers into a
wrathful contest. We should have had more re-
spect for their Tory Lordships, if they
had not taken their cue from the Times of
yesterday, though it seems only suitable to
their character that they should now be the
humblest slaves of that Journal which long braved
and bullied them. If there be one degradation on
earth greater than another for the Tot' Peers, it is
that of being the servants of the Times.

One important truth is made manifest by the fero-
cious attack of the Tories. Lord EBR I NGTON is a
very fit man for the office. They would have rejoiced
at a false move of the Ministers ; their wrath demon-
strates its excellence. We were not before so fully
aware of Lord EBRINGTON'S merits, and the Tories
have now marked him out as an object worthy of tht-
respect, support, and honour, of all honest men.
If is important also to notice that the persons
ho are so furious attains Lord EBR I NGTON, and
so zealous to support the Irish Church, are also th,
very persons who are most eager to support the
Corn, or Devil's laws. Protestant landlords com-
bine to fasten starvation on the English and bigotry
on the Irish. We cannot tell how far Lord EB RI NG-
TON'S appointment may hasten the destruction of
the Irish Church, that "gigantic political nuisance,"
but we are well assured that it and the Corn-laws
are part and parcel of the same system of enriching
the idle aristocracy at the expense of the indus-
trious classes, and that one cannot be weakened
or destroyed without the other suffering decay and
annihilation.

Now that the war is begun, we (lo not see how
peace can be restored. If the Tories, aware as
they are of Lord EBRINGTON'S sentiments,
and having, as they have, an overwhelming
majority in the Upper House, allow of his
going to Ireland, they will be more to blame,
with their opinions, than the Ministers. They
must, to be consistent, move—and if they move
they will carry—in the Peers, an address to the
QUEEN to rescind Lord EBRINGTON's appointment.
They will, in so doing, only follow the example of
the Whigs in relation to Lord LONDONDERRY,
and thus take at length a sweet revenge. Their own
honour, and the certainty of a triumph, command
them, by all the means in their power, to resist the
appointment of Lord ERRINGTON. Will they
betray the Church ?

Mr. O'CONNELL'S motion for leave to bring
in a Bill for placing the elective franchise in
England, Ireland, and Wales, on a footing of
equality, was rejected last night by a majority
of sixty-three votes. When we consider that
the Honourable and Learned Gentleman had
not only the Tories, but the whole weight of
the Government, to contend against, we must con-
gratulate him upon his success. The speech of
Lord MORPETII against the proposed Bill was
temperate and judicious. His Lordship ad-
mitted the great inequality in the elective fran-
chise in England and Ireland—showed by
a passing reference to Scotland that Ireland
was not peculiar in grievances of this kind
—and expressed a hope that the time would soon
come, when it would be permitted to the Govern-
ment to sweep away every inequality from the
Statute book. In this.! great work Ministers were
already engaged in another field, and his Lordship
apprehended that by multiplying their objects, they
would run the risk of distracting their attention, and
paralyzing their exertions. This language, worthy of
an honest, enlightened Minister, and calculated
to soothe the feelings of the Irish people, gave great
offence to the Tories, who appeared to think that
the proposal of assimilating the franchise in the
two countries ought to be scouted with contempt
by the Government. For our own part, we con-
gratulate Mr. O'CONNELL and the Irish electoral
body upon a defeat which perseverance may very
soon convert into a splendid victory. Mr. O'CoNi-
NELL has made out a good case, and at the head
of a minority of ninety-two, must, by taking a
proper course, eventually triumph.

In the House of Commons last night, Mr.
O'CONNELL obtained leave to bring in his Bill
for the Amendment of the Libel Law, and the
extension of the Liberty of the Press. The
Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin, must
be aware that his conduct on a recent occasion to-
wards the Press of Ireland, has subjected the sin-
cerity of his professions upon this subject to some
degree of suspicion ; consequently the steps which
he may take towards carrying the present Bill, will
be carefully scrutinized. Even should he carry the
Bill, he can only expect the Press to receive it as a
reparation at his hands, for the attempts made by
him to destroy its independence in the Siser King-
dom.

We have only time and space to direct attention
to the tumultuous proceedings which took place at
Manchester last night. The Chartists defeated, by
uproar, the Anti-Corn-Law people—but Mei?
victory will ere long recoil on themselves, in the
compound evil of no work and dear, dear bread.

We have received the Paris Papers of Wednes-
day, with accounts from Madrid of the 20th ult.
They bring no news of any interest. Don CAR-
LOS has issued a proclamation declaring MAROTO
a traitor, and MA RoTo, in his turn, has sent
forth a bulletin. addressed to the army, in which he
represents his Royal Master as little better than an
idiot, the slave of profligate courtiers. The impres-
sion is becoming general that Don CARLOS has
lost the confidence of the army, and that a con-
spiracy has been set on foot among his followers to
compel him to abdicate his pretensions in favour of
his son, and thus pave the way for a general peace
by means of the marriage of Queen ISABELLA and
her Royal cousin. It is added that ESPARTERO
is at the bottom of this plot, which is in a course
of rapid development.

COLBURN'S NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE
for March, is as distinguished for the
names amongst its contributory as .ong array of eminent

of its Coeteets—eaeh of

flie Author of " Rattlin, the Reefer"—The Hon. E.
Phipps—Douglas Jerrold—John Carne, and J. B. Buck-
stone ; besides other usual centributors. " Civil War,"
by Mr. Hook, is a touching narrative of the Scotch rebel-
lion. The continuation of the " Phantom Sbip," is this
month particularly interesting. Mr. Poole has " A Tale
of Mystery; or, a Romance of Portland-place," exhibiting
the domestic inquisitions of servants. Mr. Jerrold's paper
is called " The Manager's Pig"—humorous, of course.
" The Canon with two consciences,' by Mr. Howard, is
a most delicious tale, after the manner of the old Spanish
writers. Mr. Courtenay's Shakspeare paper is on Henry
VIII. " Shakspeare's Drinking Bout" is an admirably
written article by Mr. Buckstone. The verses by Mrs.
Norton and Miss Pardee are replete with their usual
grace and feeling. The number is embellished with an
excellent Likeness of Mrs. Trollope, the distinguished
authoress of " Michael Armstrong, the Factoryand is altogether one of the most agreeable nave

scribe some of the Magistracy of England in no very
complimentary terms. Several of the Delegates also
addressed the meeting.
