METROPOLITAN POLITICAL

SUMMARY.

The Globe of this eveninc, has the following remarks
in a leading article on the subject of certain scandalous
%weekly periodicals which subsist only by slander :
The most profitable part of their trade is derived from
the sums they extort from the weak and timid, whom
they threaten with " a show up" in the —, unless
4 • sum named is paid for suppression. The threat is
tuso often successful ; and the wretches, compared with
h laoin housebreakers and pickpockets are honourable and
0 nest members of the community, share the wages of in-
f' 'ny,and employ their scouts to discover new victims.
Z. he only safe course to be taken is to firmly resist the at-
t trnpt at extortion; to treat letters with contempt ; and if
plication be made or followed up in person, to give the
Pa rty into custody, charging him or them with an attempt
to extort money. The public against this pert of the
isance have the remedy in their own hands. Every
one who complies with such a demand is inflicting a
s `:ions injury on the community, by encourJging
a species of robber of the most revolting kind ;
'bile those who are the means of its detection and pu-
s ishrnent confer a benefit on society greater than by
t Se extermination of the most noxious reptiles which
ature has endowed with venom. Extortion is not the

Ply branch of the horrible traffic carried on by means
r these pestiferous publications. They are used by
i, retches grown grey in iniquity to incite the passions
.te, d corrupt the morals of the youth of both sexes,
ra i thus to spread vice as a pestilence on every hand."
' The Courier has taken courag-.2 and is rampantly Tory
iii s evening. "No one can be surprised," says our
I m )state Contemporary, " that the few remaining sup-
-1 a rters of the present weak and incapable Ministry
k,auild writhe with convulsive efforts to avert the eata-
Ed rophe which is impending over them. After having
L st the confidence of the House of Commons, and the
I. mentd voice of the country having been raised against
f'*iria competency to carry on the Government, and
4:4inst their selfishness in retaining office with-
: '''..t povrer to do good, or to prevent others
1 ,"o m doing harm, they have now adopted in their
'''"pair, as their last rallying cry, 4 Would you
14've a Tory Government."llzy know very
vt Il that there are no Tories to form a Govern-
-01 nt. It is thus that they attempt to delude, or rather
' 1:, continue their delusions on, the country. Well know-
/ and, during the last Session of Parliament, pain-
111.1y feeling, the increasing power of that great party in
it..a4 State which, although styled Conservative, might
a orgy's justly be called ' National,' they essay to blind
se people as to their own designs and to the real ob-
i, cts of the Conservatives, by endeavouring to fix on
t,,em a nickname which neither accords with the
cnaittions which the Conservatives profess, nor with
ca: acts of the public men who are among their
lts .der s. They would wish to confouud the
ox solete party of those Tories, who would
op, pose (if there are any such), all improvements
in. our political and social institutions as dangerons M-
ao vations of ancient usages, with that national party
' wl o, with Conservative opinions but of Liberal pr.inet e
i-
' )ii a.. are ready to assist in removing any abuse, ,Ahe
Ibuse can ha shown to exist, and adopt any change that
:at I rationally be made to appear an improvement."
' The Standard concludes a furious attack on Mr.
Y Connell's letter to the people of Ireland, with the
oS owing specimen of High Tory rant, of which tiie
‘4 itator will be the first to profit :—" Let the rabid
k,taldicant howl, with all the energy of which he
it capable. The more addresses like the one to
tolioda we have here alluded he puts forth the better.
Vhat measure of fraud, falsehood, and chicanery,

Et 'which the most abandoned agitator can be guilty,
vot already been resorted to by the managers of
kapisla constituencies? Let them proscribe Protes-
ttt tism to their hearts' content—let them revile and
vi'ify the English people as much as they choose ;
40, deadlier enmity, no fouler malevolence than is at
tsent cherished by the Popish party in Ireland can
be excited against us. But the sword is double•
eciged, and cuts both ways. In endeavouring to
excite the hatred of the Irish people to their Pro-
ltsttant neighi;;)urs, Mr. O'Connell will raise a watch-
*turd among the electors in all parts of the th:ited
Xiogdom. which will not prove very propitious to Ins
eat:se. If he persuades his deluded adherents to treat
.th! Protestants of England as enemits, he will assist in
Verifying his own lying assertions, fur he will make
thrini so. Let but the Conservatives of Ireland f,!..
low the advice of Sir Robert Peel, and the Popish
helats who now do the bidding, and assist in filling the
Packets of this profligate agitator, will in many instances
10% way to men, as impervious to his blandishments as
41'., his menaces, who will assist in dissolving the liana-
tun al compact which has been entered into between Mr.
NConnell and the Government."

We learn that the death of Runjeet Sing took
Pl'aee on i:he 27th June, at which time he was in
! .e sixtieth
year of his age. By an order of the
tr.
G vernor-General, dated Simla, July 4th, the ob-
setuies of Runjeet Sing were observed by the
.r4,l,glish troops and r6idents With the utmost respect.
