ever discontented the people may have been with the
hesitating policy of the Melbourne Ministry, it cannot
be expected that their successors will, or can consis-
tently with their former acts and their invariable pro-
fessions, so conduct the Government as to satisfy the
demands of the widely-spreading popular call for speedy
progress in the cause of Reform. We shall soon know
whether the new Administration will promote such
measures as will encourage the people even to hope for
an increase of the franchise, and a more free exercise
of that great national privilege, without which it is quite
certain the Government will be placed in insurmount-
able difficulties. Of this we are perfectly convinced,
that no Ministry can have the slightest hope of carrying
on the Government without extending, and firmly pro-
moting those great changes and reforms which the
spirit of the times so imperatively requires.—lfrarwicic

The country at large had scarcely perused the ex-
hilirating intelligence that the reign of the Incapables
was closed, and by that event the Church and the
throne preserved, the country rescued from destruc-
tion, and our foreign empire saved from dismem-
berment, than its joys were suspended and the most
indignant surprise took place of heart-felt gratifica-
tion, caused by the news that Sir Robert Peel's at-
tempt to form a Cabinet was arrested by the daring
intrigues of the Camarilla, from whose toils our young
and artless Queen was on the point of being extricated.
Her Majesty's judgment was convinced, and her feelings
did her honour ; not able to surrender the society of
the companions of her retirement without a pang, but
the sacrifice she knew was inevitable, and she prepared
to make it. She received Sir Robert Peel as became
her nobility of blood ; at once gave to the Premier the
powers, without which his charge would be a mockery,
and granted the necessary stipulation on his acceptance
of office. But the Camarilla—the " power behind
the throne greater than the throne itself," was alarmed
for its safety—the slanderers of innocence—the intri-
guants for office—exerted all their wiles, and worked
upon their mistress's tenderness of heart, and inexperi-
ence in guile, to the falsification of her Royal word, and
disappointment of a nation's hopes.—Hapipshire Advr.
Our advice is—Reformers ! be armed at all points,
and at your post : O'Connell is already in the field on
the part of the Irish people ; Sir William Molesworth
is already endeavouring to colour over to his constituents
his late factious and injudicious vote ; and every event
combines to call for immediate activity on the part of
the Reform interest.—Carnarron Herald.

The event for some months foreseen has taken place
at last : Lord Melbourne's Government has ceased to
exist ; and while we write, Sir Robert Peel may have
completed his arrangements, and formed a perfect Tory
Cabinet. They have damaged the cause of the people
much, and Sir Robert Peel is one not likely to be slow
in taking advantage of their blunders. The unhappy
stand, too, made by the late Ministry against further
improvements in the Reform Bill, has been productive
of the worst results, by dividing and distracting the
friends of Reform. " Finality" was the rock on which
the Melbourne Ministry split.—Merlin.
