THE LATE and the PRESENT MINISTRY,

" Look on this picture and on this:"

W. espy tl►e two following articles from that spirited
and intaigent journal the Brighton Gazette., and leave
our readers to form their own conclusion, just premising,
by the way, that the Lord Bathurst, who is there repre-
►ented as pocketting, together kith his connexions,
13,5731. Is. 1 Id. per annum •f the public money, is tie
some min who made such breathless haste a few weeks
since to appoint his own son to the clerkship of the Coun-
cil, vacant by the death,of Mr. Buller, ere that gentleman
was yet cold :--

Iktuch odium baying :been sought to be raised against
Earl Grey, for the mode in which he is represented to
have endowed himself and his. relations with the good
things of afire, we have taken the trouble to draw a com-
parison between the patronage so bestowed on the part of
Lord Grey, and that with which his predecessor's connec-
tions contrived to have their nests feathered. We believe,
among seven of Lord Grey's relations and connections,
himself included, that, in truth, a yearly sum of between
10,0001. and 19,0001. is to be distributed; but it appears
that between the relations of the ,aost economical Mini-
ster of present times► there has been divided annually no
less a punt than 55,047/. Os. 7d. fur civil employments

It will be instructive, And must at the same time. be gra.
tifying to our readers, if .we place in brief juxtaposition
the acts of the late arid present Ministry.
Never perhaps, did a Government rush forward to its
own destruction so blindly as the. Wellington Administra-
tion. Without going beck to the last Session, when the
financial measurer of their accomplished Chief of the Ex-
chequer covered it with confusion and contempt as inc.
deemable as the hatred which ensued upon its previous
apostasy and persecution of the Press, let us see what
they did in the short space of time that intervened between
the opening of the present Session and their own expulsion
from power. .

First, we have the Bpeeeh which they ventured to pot
into the King's mouth, taking part with the despotic
Rulers of the continent against their subjects struggling
for freedfim ; and in its pledges for Retrenchment so in.
geniously worded as to deceive the country into an expec'-
talon of that which, as the Minister& subsequently de-
elated, they never intended to perform.
Fiecondly, we hsve the notable mare's-neat of a city
plot, involving the King in the unpopularity of his 'Go.
vernmenty and spreading through the remote provinces of
the empire, as well as among foreign nations, an idea of
general disaffection towards the King, which it is well for
England that a change of her Ministers, quickly following,
has effitetuelly dispelled.
Thirdly, came the notable developerarnt of the Civil
List, and consequent thereon, the tacit avowal that ell
protnises of Ministerial economy were to ht► kept only to
the car, but to be really falsified to the hopes of the people..
These three things are mightiest Far the present. Is it
to he wondered that the Ministry should have crumbled
into dtist Wore the breath of public opinion ?
But let us now see what the present .Ministry have
dopes in the brief time that has passed since their seen.
*ion to Once.

Wa oball not opeuk of 044 thlvo,ful4,prootise of eco.
notny, Reibm, and vetteuoinuuut, but look to what they
have done..

Firstly, they Lava, by utt exertion of promptness and
tinny contrasting well With the' vaaillatiou anil creak•
netts that had been previously' displayed, already succeeded
in tranquilizing the' country to a considerable extent,
though their predecessors had left Abe country distracted
and sick to tho Lion%

Setnndty, they have already cut off several 'lawmen, and
made real and effective reduction of Moir own minim
Thirdly, by the tone of the Premier's Parliamentary
exposit they have quieted the alarm of Franco, and averted
the immluentilouger of involving F.n4land In a coutimtal
wet..

Fourthly, by the Lord Chanceßorie WU for the etas.
bliannent of Coat Courts, facilitating and cheapening the
means of obtainingittatiev, the Government have Antra
their determination to redeem their pledges of Retail*, mid

The following is a copy 'of it petitioti
must numerously shitted by the printlipal inhabi•ants
if Rending in the course of is few hours,' on Tues-
day lost, and will be presented to the House this
evening (Thursday):—
" re the Honourable the Commons of Great Britain and
Ireland in Parliament assembled.
" The Petition of the undersigned Inhabitants of the
Borough of Reading, in the County of Iter
•
anotvOit,,-.mil4 Alt your petitioners have observed with
sincere pleasure the introduction, of, a Bill in the Upper
douse of Parliament to establish local courts, for the. het.
ter and more speedy administration of justice throughout
he country. 4 The law's delays' have hing been
verhisl ; but the dilliculty and vexation nod expence of
procuring justice haie at last become so intolerable, that
what was intended to be a remedy' and a be is in
very many instances considered an evil end a nuktnee ;
for a large proportion of the community would rather sub-
mit to, be wronged and defrauded than seek redress in the
tedious, tortuous, and, in many instances, ruinous pro-
cesses of low. Of alt existing abuses, none call more
loudly for speedy and effectual refOrm thin those which
have grown up with, or crept into, our legal system, or-
law practice, which ought not to shelter dishonesty, or
ilerat the ends of justice, but ,to he a terror to evil-doers,
and the praise and protection of them that do well.
" Your petitioners therefore bail a meaSure,of law re-
form, emanating from the luminous and Cennirensive mind
of a member of the legal profession, itieldy distingitished
both in the Senate and in the Forum, and to the
British Legislature by the Lied High Chancellor of Roe:
-
land, and in a strain of powerful, eloquence, convincing
reasoning, and impressive wisdom, ,which reminded your
petitioners of his illustrious predecessor, who eliforeell
needful alteration by pronouncing Time the greatest of
all innovators.' There are many things in the proceedings,
of the judicature of the country, which require to be cow,
sidered with the view of removing them, and Of establish-
ing in their stead a cheaper, a shorter, au easier, a more
convenient, and a less vexatious mode of acquiring it re-
medy for wrongs, and of prosecuting rights. What your
petitioner* want and love it cheap jus,ire. What the..
hate and deprecate is expensive, and tardy, and ttheertain
litigation.
Your petitioners conclude by humbly entreating that
the Bill for establishing Courts of Local Jurisdiction may
receive the sanction of your Bon. !louse, and that it he as
speedily as possible passed into a law.
" Reading, Ike. 7."
The petition has been signed by Mr. Monrk and
several other gentlemen in the neighborhood.
