LONDON :
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1839.

Like the Standard the Times is ashamed of
Mr. BRADSHAW'S speech, and gives the applaud-
ing Canterbury Tories a severe reproof. "We
cannot give currency to his remarks," says our Con-
temporary, " without stating our regret that a
gentlemen should have been betrayed into offensive
expressions towards the young and amiable person
who is by birth Queen of England." Those offen-
sive expressions to the QUEEN were, however,
vociferously applauded by the Conservatives pre-
sent, including two Reverend Doctors and several
Reverend Messrs., to all of whom the censure of
the virulent Times is as applicable as to Mr. BR AD-
SHA W. What will the public think of the Can-
terbury Tories when it learns that their sentiments
are deemed offensive to the ultra-Tory Times and
Standard?

The gentle Post, too, deems Mr. BRADSHAW'S
" a strong speech," "which everyone, in moments of
cool consideration, must regard with no slight pain."
" The outbursts," it says, " of fierce denunciation
of the existing Government, which we witness on
the part of those who are undoubtedly firm friends
to the principles which called the line of BRUNS-
WICK to the Throne, must be a matter of deep
anxiety
Mr.
ietyto
BthßoAugDhstufuAli,s
menv of all parties." It infers
intemperance and the vo-
ciferous applause of the Canterbury parsons " a
moral convulsion, such as may well startle the timid,
and cause even the stoutest to stand upon his
guard." Whatever effect Mr. BRADSHAW'S oration
has had on our nerves, and we confess to its having
excited contempt, disgust, and mirth, it has evi-
dently terrified his friends. The writers in the
waiting-woman-like Morning in the bluster-
ing, dirt-heaving Times, and in the swaggering j
