SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS.

It affords us no small degree of satisfaction to per-
ceive that the freak of the King of Hanover is tho-
roughly appreciated throughout the country. The
Duke of Cumberland headed the Tories,—he in-
trigued for them at home and abroad, and was heart
and soul devoted to their cause ; and they promised
themselves great things from him in case of his ascend-
ing the throne of these kingdoms. It is in evidence
that he and his myrmidons were sounding the army,
with a view to the possibility of defeating the generous
intentions of King William in favour of Reform, by
setting aside that Monarch ; and it is impossible to
to doubt, from the character of the man, that his first
act, should Providence, for our sins., have opened for
him a way to the throne, would have been to annul
all that been done by his Royal Brother. " Luckily
for us," as is well observed by Colonel Thompson, in
a letter in an Evening Contemporary, " our enemy has
tried his little go before he had the opportunity of
trying the great one." Luckily for us, we have in
this Tory, to whom all the party looked •up as the
model of whatever was excellent, the most unequivocal
proof of their real wishes and inclinations. When
Lord Stormont, in one of those moments when
from the fulness of the heart the mouth speaketh,
owned that " he hated the very name of Reform"—
when King Ernest of Hanover treats the people of
Hanover as if they were his cattle, by trampling on
the Constitution conceded to them on arrangement,by
King William, these indications afford us a hundred
times more insight into the real principles and
intentions of the Tories, than one of the carefully-
worded manifestoes of Sir Robert Peel. The To-
ries made allowance for the necessities of the
Tamworth Baronet : but his semi-liberal decla-
rations were gall and wormwood to them. On the
other hand, the Duke of Cumberland and Lord
Lyndhurst, his faithful councillor, spoke to their hearts.
They knew that his Hanoverian Majesty would have
stood at nothing in England, anymore than in Ha-
nover, to restore Tory ascendancy ; and hence nothing
could be more closely cemented than the union between
the chief of the Orangemen and the great body of the
Tories. In all times the Tories have been addicted to
the practice of holding individuals responsible for the
principles of their associates. Thus, for instance, Sir
Walter Scott imputed to Sir Francis Burdett, because
" He swore on his honour for Arthur O'Connor"

the principles of that individual. Thus Mr. W.
Gifford, long the editor of The Quarterly Review,
having first calumniated the late Mr. Coleridge, by
stating that he had run away to Germany, deserting his
wife and child, charitably observed " from these disce
his friends Lamb and Southey." But in the case of
the Duke of Cumberland there is no necessity for in-
ferring anything. He was a thick-and-thin Tory,
ready for the execution of the worst purposes, and it
is because he is a bigotted Tory that he has committed
the outrage on the people of Hanover. The Times,
indeed, gives Old Bailey evidence in favour of the
Tories, that they knew nothing of his designs. It is
always a presumption against any one when Old
Bailey testimony is offered on his behalf. What
could the Times know of what passed between
the Duke of Cumberland and other Tories ? How
many individuals of that body could the writer in
the Times have consulted before he exculpated
the whole ? The writer perhaps may have heard
Mr. Horace Twiss, Mr. Charles Ross, or Mr. Benja-
min Disraeli affirm that the Duke of Cumberland
never imparted to them his intention to destroy the
Constitution of Hanover ; and this has been quite
enough to enable the Times to pronounce the whole
of the numerous Tory party free from all cognizance of
the schemes of King Ernest. But thus it always is
with witnesses of this description. A very little
cross-examination serves to settle the value of their
testimony. Why should any one be surprised at
the coup debt of the ex-Duke of Cumberland ?
No one acquainted with the opinions always held by
that individual, " illustrious by courtesy," as he was
termed by Lord Brougham, can suppose that he did
not in his heart as much detest the Liberal Constitu-
tion of the Hanoverians as he unquestionably did the
Reform Bill of this country. With him, therefore,
it was merely a question of power. Some of the To-
ries say that for the sake of the party in England he
might have refrained from acting on his principles
but no one ventures to state that he is inconsistent with
himself—that he has acted on other principles than
those which so greatly endeared him to the Tories.
He has acteJ like a genuine Tory King ; and if the
British public fail to draw the proper inference from
his conduct, they are more blind than we take them
to be.—Morning Chronicle.
Since the accession of her Majesty there has been
no public occurrence which has afforded us more un-
qualified satisfaction than the Household appointments.
These appointments are precisely what they ought to
have been in the circumstances in which her Majesty
was placed. We do not find in one of them the least
ground of personal objection. We find in the whole
of them, taken collectively, a conclusive proof that the
Queen has regarded these appointments simply and
exclusively as an act of her Administration. Had it
been attempted to force into the Court, as the daily
attendants upon the Queen of England, any lady or
gentleman of spotted or equivocal reputation—had it
been attempted to introduce into this exalted region any
person of objectionable habits or of vulgar breeding—
the attempt would no doubt have been resisted in the
highest quarter, and would have brought upon those
who had dared to make it immediate and irreparable
ruin. Such an attempt was not to be expected even
from the present Ministers. Low as they stand, in
our opinion, as an Administration—incapable, as we
believe them to be, of governing England as England,
for its welfare and happiness, ought to the governed—
prone as we have ever found them to abandon prin-
ciple when anything could be got by the relinquish-
ment of principle—still we have never denied, and
it is now required of us to confess, that there are
among them men who would have shrunk from the
odium and disgrace of attempting to introduce into St.
James's the laxity which in St. Stephen's they have
been compelled to encourage and promote, or to exhibit
the same indifference in the former sphere which
they have always displayed in the latter to the
character of their agents. There cannot, we think, be
any mistake about the matter. The present Minis-
ters, as an important pelt of their Ministerial duty,
have been called upon to select the personal attendants
upon their Sovereign, and they havo selected them
well, for they have chosen them from among the most
distinguished and the most respectable of their wives,
mothers, and daughters. This selection we might
ascribe to venality or to ambition. But we will not
say upon such an occasion what we do not sincerely
believe. And we do not see the least reason to believe
that any of the Court appointments have been made
with any other view than to promote the dignity
and the comfort of the Sovereign, and to leave her
not only at perfect freedom, but we might almost
say in the necessity, in the event of a change of the
Administration, to effect a change almost com-
plete, in the personel of her Court. Some discussion
might perhaps have arisen when other statesmen
shall be called to take upon themselves the duties of
responsible advisers of the Sovereign, as to the neces-
sity of remodelling the Court, had the Ministers of the
t
present day so constructed it as to present less than it
now does of political identity and domestic connection
with themselves. In giving
done, no du giving totheoQubetn

complexion they have
agreeable to themselves. They have done also what
we believe to have been most agreeable to her
Majesty, inasmuch as they have imparted to the
Court appointments more distinctly and unequivo-
cally than would have been possible by any other
means, a merely Ministerial—that is to say, a
merely temporary and provincial—character. We
own we should have felt some anxiety upon the
subject of these appointments had they shown less

plainly than they have been made to show • that
no personal sympathies or partialities of her Majesty
have had any concern in the matter. When all has
evidently been done for the purpose of pleasing the
Ministers, their families, and friends, and nothing for
that of affording gratification to her Majesty, the fair
inference would seem to be, that her Majesty has ab-
stained from the expression of any wish upon the
subject, and that her indifference has arisen, as indeed
' it could only arise, from the persuasion that whatever
the present arrangements might be they would.probably
not last long. Some of the Court appointments have
been made with an evident design to influence the re-
sult of the approaching elections, that, for instance, of
the Hon. C. Murray, the Whig-Radical candidate for
Lanarkshire. But the people of Scotland are too shrewd,
we suspect, to be the dupes of appearances purposely
contrived to deceive them ; and too loyal to infer that
her Majesty cherishes any party predilections from
proceedings in which her Majesty has passively ac-
quiesced, for the purpose of proclaiming to her people
that she entertains none.—Morning Post.

MARRIAGE A LOTTERY.—Our readers are ac-
quainted with the singular freak of the young man who made
a lottery of himself. The following has been the denouement
of this ingenious speculation, for the truth of which a provincial
journal refers us to the civil registry of Lyons. The drawing
took place in the fairest manner possible, in presence of a no-
tary and of several witnesses. Mademoiselle Euphrasio 8.,
a young lady of fortune at Lyons, won the young man. A
singular incident occurred after the drawing had been decided.
The young lady was still unaware of her good fortune, when
one morning a lady waited upon her, in a state of most painful
excitement. " Save my life, Mademoiselle " How ?"
" Cede your ticket to me." " What ticket ?" " The lot-
tery ticket--the ticket for the young man." " Oh, I had
quite forgotten it." " Then, know, Mademoiselle, that I love
—that I adore him. I had taken thirty tickets ; it was as
much as my means would allow of my doing. My tickets are
all blanks. Yours is the only prize. Cede it to me, or you
will cause my death." " Madame," replied Mademoiselle
Euphrasie, " there is a written clause on the tickets, that if
the young man should not please me, or if I should not please
the young man, we are to divide the 200,000 francs, and not
to marry one another. This chance remains for you ;as to
my ticket, I shall keep it." An hour afterwards the prize
young man presented himself to Euphrasie ; they were mu-
tually satisfied, and lost no time in binding the conjugal knot.
The lady who had been so anxious to obtain the transfer of
Euphrasie's ticket was a widow of Carcassone, and is said to
have destroyed herself. The young couple united by lottery
areispending their honeymoon at Narbonne.—ConstitutionneL

A grave writer on the laws of England, says that
" when a jury of matrons is impannelled, the foreman ought to
b.: a woman of known and good repute."
The following is from a Berlin letter of the 6th
inst. :—" The Princes Augustus and Adalbert will be present
at the grand review of cavalry in the south of Russia, and
will afterwards accompany the Emperor to Nicolajew and the
maritime towns on the Black Sea. It is generally said the
review will be one of the grandest military spectacles ever
given. An attempt at murder was made here a day or two
since by a young theologian, on the persons of two women
who resided in the same house with him ; one of them is so
dangerously wounded with a dagger, that her life is despaired
of. Religious fanaticism is said to have been the cause of this
outrageous act. The quantity of corn brought from the inte-
rior to the shores of the Baltic is enormous. The bad har-
vest in America, and the rapid rise in the price of grain, had
excited to the highest degree the spirit of speculation. But
the crisis has had a still stronger re-action, and has caused a
rapid decline !n prices. Serious apprehensions are enter-
tained for several houses. In addition to this misfortune, the
cholera has broken out at Dantzic, and is supposed to have
been brought there by the Polish boatmen. It is said that
traces of it have also been discovered at Konigsberg, and it
is feared that it will attack all the towns on the coast. There
is every prospect of an abundant harvest."

. .
FOSSIL TREE.—Having heard that Mr. Johnson
had tried the effect of a large blast in the quarry on Saturday
week, we were induced to pay a visit to the scene of opera-
tions a few days since, and were astonished to witness the ef-
fects of the explosion of a hundred pounds of gunpowder. The
depth of the bore was about 24 feet with a diameter of six
inches, and no fewer than 40,000 cubic feet of solid rock were
displaced by the shock, the greater part of which will be trans-
ferred to the Edinburgh and Leith Railway. The most inte-
resting object, however, in Craigleith quarry is the fossil tree,
which excited so much attention a year or two ago. Geolo-
gists were then divided in opinion as to whether its root or
top were uppermost, but five or six feet more of the tree hav-
ing been laid bare, settles the question that it is the top of the
tree which is uppermost, a portion of a branch having been
discovered.—Edinburgh Observer.

The modern Greeks are not proverbial for cleanli-
ness. Mr. Giffard, in corroboration of this, says, " There is
no such thing as an artificial bath in modern Greece ; indeed
there is not so much, except in the great towns, as a wash-
hand basin."

It is understood that the improvements of the
Green-park will commence in October next, when it will be
planted with clusters of ornamental shrubs, leaving serpentine
walks for the recreation of the public, after the plan of the in-
terior of St. James'i-park. The irregularity of the ground
will add greatly to the effect of the meditated alterations.

A TRICK OF THE TORIES.—For several days past
a lot of " ragged rascals" in tattered regimentals, headed by a
fellow in an officer's uniform, have been parading the streets of
Westminster with the electioneering placards of Sir G. Mur-
ray, to the evident disgust of conscientious men of every shade
of politics. The avowed purpose of the exhibition is to get
General Evans into disrepute, by passing these poor wretches
off upon the public as men who had been serving under him in
the Anglo- Spanish Legion, and have been left pennyless„
whilst he has taken care to amply reward himself for his ser-
vices ; and at the same time to enhance the interests of Sir G.
Murray, by endeavouring to induce the public to believe that
his generous feelings have prompted him to give the poor fel-
lows employment, and thus prevent them from perishing. If
the object was really their relief, it is evident that it would be
best achieved by providing them with shoes and stockings, and
a few other necessary articles of clothing ; but it is not so ;
the whole affair is a mere trick._• a weak invention of the
enemy ;" nine-tenths of the men, so far from having served
in Spain, have been known mendicants about the metropolis
for many years. We have no doubt, however, that the elec-
tors of Westminster are aware of the feelings which have dic-
tated this gallant proceeding, and will take care to show, by
the manner in which they record their votes at the coming
election, that they duly appreciate the humanity of Sir G.
Murray. That it is an action which reflects the highest credit
upon an officer and a gentleman, who can for a moment doubt ?
—that it is worthy of the cause which he espouses, must be
obvious to every one.
