LONDON :
THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 16, 1837.

The intended meeting of the Irish Members will not
take place to-day, owing to the late arrival and fatigue
of several Members; but a full meeting is expected
to-morrow. A very full report of their proceedings
(if public) will be given in The Sun.

Notwithstanding the many confident rumours which
the organs of the Tory faction have been spreading,
abroad for the last five or six weeks, respecting the in-
tentions of that patriotic party to commence the Par-
liamentary campaign with vigour, and oppose the re-
election of Mr. ABERCROMBY to the Speakership—
notwithstanding all these boasts, when the clay of ac-
tion arrived, the Tories were found wholly indisposed
to give battle. The pear, we suppose, was not yet
ripe. We do not blame the faction for thus acting
with, what it no doubt calls, forbearance. On the
contrary, we think its . proceedings of yesterday re-
dound much to itsl- credit, for they show a dis-
cretion—a tact—and a self-knowledge which it is
rare to witness among the Tories. Had these men
imagined that their opposition would have had the
slightest chance of being crowned with success, they
would not have hesitated an instant in making a bold
dash ; but they saw from the very first aspect of things
in thc House that the " game was up," so discreetly
succumbed to what could not be avoided. Mr. ABER
CRONIBY, after having been proposed by Mr. LE-
FEVRE in an able speech, which was seconded by Mr.
STRUTT, was reinstated in the chair amid the acclama-
tions of the whole House, Sir ROBERT PEEL himself
expressly bearing testimony to the skill,•and assiduity,
and judgment with which the Right Hon. Gentleman
had discharged, for three years, the onerous duties of
Speaker. So terminated thc Parliamentary proceed-
ings cf yesterday, in which the behaviour of the Tory
faction realised the old adage of " great cry and little
wool r,

The Marquis of LONDONDERRY is still alive I
Not having heard anything of him since the issuing
of the celebrated manifesto touching the freedom of
election in the county of Durham, we were beginning to
feel alarmed lest some untoward accident should have
cut short the Noble Marquis's tenure of that high
office, the duties of which he has hitherto so
well fulfilled ; and were revolving in our minds,
with many dolorous misgivings, who was likely to suc-
ceed to the cap and bells in the assembly of our here-
ditary legislators. We figured to ourselves the multi.
tude of competitors who would start for so glorious a
prize, and the almost insuperable difficulty of deciding
who, among so many well-qualified aspirants, was
best entitled to the distinguished honour ; and, after
much anxious communing with ourselves, could get
no nearer to a conclusion than that it would be a
neck-and-neck race between Lords STANHOPE and
WINCHILSEA, when we fell upon a Dublin news-
paper, by whicli we were relieved from our
forebodings by the happy news that no vacancy
has as yet taken place, and that Lord LONDON-
DERRY IS—to use a common phrase—" all alive and
kicking." This appears from the fact, that the
Noble Marquis was entertained last week by *a
