METROPOLITAN POLITICAL

SUMMARY.

ne Globe of last evening remarks, with reference to
Mr. Duncombe's resolutions, which he moved last
night in the Commons :—" That the neglect of useful
measures by Parliament is one cause of those discontents
which the Chartist agitators have worked upon, we at least
shall not deny. But in examining the causes to which
this neglect is ascribable, we find amongst them that party
spirit which we trace throughout these very resolu-
tions. Mr. Duncombe is by no means the most unrea-
sonable of forward Liberals. To the exclusive zeal,
however, with which that section have urged their peculiar
dogmas, we do very mainly attribute our slack rate of
practical progress. Mr. Duncombe's co-politicians are
not Radical enough for the Chartists, but they are too
Radical for many of the Ministerial party. They can
not set up for themselves, and their impatience of less for-
ward allies has often enabled the common enemy to point
with triumph to Liberal discord.''
The Courier says, in a leading article on the-subjeet of
the Portuguese Slave Trade Bill—" England has long '
enough endured the ter',iversation of Portugal on this
subject, and it is time to demand that solemn treaties should
be respected. And let it not be said or insinuated that
England acts towards a weak power as she would hesitate

have been endured, had they come from France or Russia.
It has been chiefly from a consideration for the weakneSs
of Portugal, that the British Government has so long for
borne from a more determined line of action."
The Standard alludes as follows to the discussion that
took place in the Lords on Thursday on the subject of the
Shannon Navigation Bill:_-:' We had hoped, that al-
though the House of Lords could not, in strict etiquette,
directly interfere with this most barefaced job, they would
at least have sifted it to the bottom, and have thus ren-
dered its further progress (if its authors have any
shame, which we doubt) impossible. The Duke
of Wellington, however, contented himself with
simply recording his objection to the issue of
so large an amount of Exchequer Bills at this
critical moment in furtherance of public works ; and sug-
gested that it should be spread over a greater portion of
time. In reply to Lord Ellenborough's remark, that the
entire sum to be contributed was to be divided into 276
portions, arid that, although six were borne by the county,
only four were borne by Limerick itself, which would be
more benefited by the measure than all the rest of Ireland
put together, Lord Lansdowne entered into an elaborate
defence of the job ; in which he was supported by the Earl
of Ripon."
The Times of this morning observes, with reference to
Lord John Russell's proposed increase of the military
force, " a conclusive proof that the intended reinforcement
is meant principally for some home service, may be gathered
from the peculiar emphasis with which Lord John Russell
dwelt upon our civil discontents as requiring especial cor-
rection. With all the disguises which his Lordship
endeavoured to throw over his proposal, every per-
son must see that the reel pinch, occasioning its neces-
sity, was felt to be at home, and exclusively so." The
Morning Herald contains a leading article strongly pro-
testing against the sentence of dath passed by Mr.
Justice Littledale at Warwick, upon three of the late
Birmingham rioters; and states that " the ignorant and
infatuated instruments of Whig policy arc not the greatest
criminals." The Morning Post, speaking of Mr. Darby's
proposed amendment of the Poor Law, says—" in the
present House of Commons, more especially on the Liberal
side, there is by no means so much sympathy as there ought
to be, with the labouring population of these kingdoms."
The Morning Chronicle, recurring to the subject of the
Lords' Irish Committee, and Lord Lurgan's speech of
Thursday night in the House of Lords upon it, remarks
incidentally " that the English Parliament discharges its
duty as if Ireland were no concern of the empire."
