LONDON.
TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 22, 1837.

The elections are now completed, and after all the
adverse influences against which the liberal cause has
.had to contend, there is found in its favour such a ma-
jority as will enable the QUEEN'S Ministers to pursue
the path of improvement, in defiance of the obstacles
'which the advocates of popular ignorance, and the sup-
porters of despotism have attempted to throw in their
Way. According to the list, which appears in another
Part of our Paper, this majority is thirty-six, without
taking into the calculation about a dozen seats, the
light to which will be determined by Committees of
the House of Commons, but which may be pretty
Confidently relied on in addition. But throwing these
to the Tories in the meantime as a balance against
any diminution of the existing majority arising from
mistake as to the extent of support which one or two
'of the Members, whom we have entered on the Liberal
side, may be disposed to give to her MAJESTY'S
Government—and this is surely an ample allowance--
We still find a result such as ought to inspire the friends
of civil and religious liberty with better hopes than they
have been warranted to indulge for some years past.
Thirty-six, it may be said, is a small number to decide
Important questions of national policy ; and, considered
merely in a numerical point of view, no doubt it
18 so; but let those who make this oectio recl-
lect how little benefit the nation derived from majoroi-
ties against which no such exception could be taken.
Why did not the majority of eielity-six on the Irish
Corporation Question insure thata triumphant
pas measure age through the House of Lords ? If numbers
could have done it, here was a majority, in all con-
science, sufficiently numerous for any purpose within the
Province of legislation—a majority twice as large
as that which in an unreformed Parliament carried the
epeal of the Test and Corporation Acts which had
been the key-stone of Tory policy for more than a hun-
dred years. The reason, however, why eighty-six maybe
an inefficient majority, and thirty-six an efficient one,
is not difficult to be found. Those who refused
$0 yield to the former, namely the House of Lords,
well knew the game they had to play. They had
shuffled the cards so dexterously, that they could al-
ways calculate on having the odd trump in their hands,
and they were therefore under no apprehension as to
the result. Aware of their own safety, they set at
nought every other consideration. But things are
greatly altered since then—quite in a new posi-
tion. Lord MELBOURNE possesses the entire con-
fidence and cordial support of the Sovereign whom
it he serves so ably. Whatever measure he may feel
his duty to recommend her MAJESTY will feel
!_t her duty to adopt, not with reluctant acqueiescence,
but zealous concurrence ; and whatever opposition is
Fiven to those measures, so far from being supposed to
be in unison with the feelings of the Court, will be
Understood to be in direct hostility to its proclaimed
think it a perfectly legitimate one—is, that with
;Ile present majority, small as it is in one sense,
but
great when taken in conjunction with the more
favourable position of the MELBOURNE Administra-
tion at head- quarters, Ministers will be able to accom-
plishmore for Reform than they have been enabled to
° Since they were re-installed in their places by the
'ioice of the people, and in spite of the personal anti-
Aathies of the Court.

Varli
_misters have very wisely determined on meeting
amens Ito before Christmas ; and we do earnestly
Pe, that when once the business of the Session has
"rnmenced, it will be carried on in a spirit of uncom-
-I"rni3ing energy. We have experienced great delays
41:""gb many of them, we grant, have been un-
:„°4lable and it is now full time that a more vigo-
-113 end decided course of conduct should be resolved
"n• Above all, Ministers must not think of making
;fly attempts to conciliate the Tories, for every act of
ourteousness on their parts only paves the way
Pre (4 a more energetic opposition. Measures must be
T°Pared so as to suit the wants and wishes of the
untrY, not
treated with a view to their being tolerantly
Meanby the faction. There are quite sufficient
s a
t the command of Government, if they only
,wm, Pl
coy them in a fitting manner, for the country is
them, though the Tories, by means of the most
v.aricia manoeuvres, have been endeavouring, but in
21:11,4, to make it appear otherwise. Ministers then, we
"ealtatingly affirm, will have no excuse, if they do
lint act
g a bold and manly part, and carry forward the
reat business of Reform without having the slightest
defer
cence to the prejudices of the PEEL party in the
mans, or the more infatuated LYNDHURST party
t"e Lords. This last will, of course, set their
48Ie8 against all rational improvements quite as strenu-
Yas ever; but with a working majority in the
thellee of Commons which may be securely relied on ;
tide People on their side, and the Court also on their
tii.e ; Ministers need not fear the most desperate hos-
thltY---and desperate it will most assuredly be—of
e titled Incapables.
