SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS.

,
.:iss
The Tories cut a sorry figure at present; but, if
we are not much mistaken, it will be more melancholy
still after the elections. They are already quarrellinis7l
among themselves, which is a pretty good sign, even if .1
we had no other, that their affairs are not very pros-
perous. Partners always begin to dispute when their. 4
business declines, though they may have been the 74.
best friends possible while it was increasing. Their''
chief organ (barrel-organ we may call it, since it`;
grinds whatever tune it is set to, and changes its music
just as often as pleases those who turn the handle), has-iisi
' been making a sad jumble of it ever since the illnesse,
of his late Majesty was declared dangerous, and .havl4
' ing then commenced floundering, it has tumbled anda7.
plunged about in all directions most ludicrously. --!'
-
The " old lady" of Printing-house-square has be-
hayed just as if she had taken what is called ink.:
the vulgar tongue, which she so well under 4-.
stands, "a drop too much," and has lately been quite
unruly and obstreperous ; the very boys in the streets
have been laughing at and hooting her ; and her friend,
would fain have got her into the station-house, if only s'
for concealment, and to prevent her exposing herself
and them. However, she was not to be controlled.h
and accordingly the Times for the last fortnight lia,r.
been playing most ridiculous pranks. At first onl
worthy contemporary was prompted by the Tories
as to what she should say regarding the Queen
and the Duchess of Kent ; but, having been twitted
with being merely the tool of the faction, it hns
ever since been striving to show its indepen-
dence, and between its wish to seem free and its-
actual bondage to the party, it has made a curious
exhibition of it—a sort of inebriated hornpipe. in fet-
ters. We showed yesterday how it jumped first for-"
wards, then backwards, now round this way, and then
round the other way, with its usual skill in the double ..
shuffle, on the subitct of the conduct of the Conser-
vatives with reference to the approaching elections. •Is
began by addressing itself under the signature of B.D:
complaining of the inactivity and supineness of the To- ,
ries!, anti next morning answered itself in another letter •
with; time initials M. W, asserting- that greater zeal and .-
energy had never been shown ; but it seems tha'','
• M. W. has already adopted the notions of n. D., and
in yesterday's Times we read a supplemental commii•
nieation.from the said M. W., in which he admits, in '..'
terms; that "the Conservatives are not active and zed-.
ions." :Now, it is obvious that .all three letters were 1 ,
written by the same hand ; B. D. isjszot
herthan M.W.,.,..:,
[1
and. M. W. no other than B. D. While- both 13. D.
and M. W.' ar the same ingenious gentleman
who in the leading ar't'icle of our Otit6inporary af-p,C:.
feeted to reconcile the two. Like' Mrs....slit/lap-op s4',s
Cerhurns, he was " throe gentlemen at oimee ;" and all '-
we want to know is, to which statmc'nt the Times is-
willing to adhere, or, as may be more probable, will itsadhere to none of them ? Perhaps we afe expertii4
too much when we ask our camelion-contemporary (a
figure of itsS own, by the way) to stick to anything ,
for a longer time than the twenty-four hours be
tween one istkblication and another ; but besides the'
admission 'or M. W., already quoted, we remark
in the
.Times of yesterday a very unequivocal
statement,•‘llit r the signature of " Politcs (ano-r1
it
tiler and .:," tly appropriate name for the editor ;1:
that ilii-';ii,natrvatives of London have " dranki!
mandragora," and are willing •to sleep out theL:
interval '_.'.between this date and the Sheriffs'
return of four Members to serve for the City."j
We may perhaps take it for granted, thereforeJT:
though we are aware it is presuming much, that the-r:
Times, until Monday next (as it publishes no,paner.'S
on Sunday) will hold to the assertion that the Tories:::
are at this moment displaying a deficiency of activity,
energy, and zeal, Which shows that their cause is liope-,
less, and that they arc convinced it is so. True it is,`s
that the admission of the Times in this respect has''.;;;
excited a fury of animosity on the part. of other jeur-'l.'i
nals enlisted on the same side ; and oae of them of yes-'f;
terday exclaims, " Our Contemporary must, it is 4,
clear, have utterly lost his senses, or have delthera:ely
resolved to ruin in public estimation, if he can, tlie:
patty and the cause which he pretends to support."t•
This is rather a hard alternative. The Times i 5,...
either " demented"—(to use- a word strangely apA:
plied to it by a Reverend Gentleman at the Glas-k
bow festival)—or treacherous, and resolved to ruin':;
the cause of the Tories. This is what is said of it by.•,'
one of its quondam allies and fellow-labourers, and it
is the latter part of the dilemma that makes us think,;:
as we said in the outset, not only that the Tories cutr,
a sorry figure now, but that it will grow more andl
more melancholy every day, until at the close of thei.
election the party reaches the very anti-climax of!
despair. If the Times have not already absolutely,
deserted the Tory camp, we fancy that we sec symp-
toms, even beyond those discovered by the ,horning`.
6
Post, that ere long it will entirely " cut and run," ands
that it is now waiting only to ascertain by what road its;
can safest make its retreat. That it should do so is all,
very natural for the Times : it has done so often beforeS
and it is quite consistent with its usual shrewdnessf
and its established reputation that it should soil
again. It was formerly a Radical newspaper, when
it thought Radicalism profitable : it turned Tory, be 4
cause it fancied that Toryism was to he in the ascend-•:
ant ; and it may now become Radical again upon the.''
very same principle, and for the very same reason.
We are not, therefore, so much of opinion that th 4:
Times has " lost its senses," as that it has come to
them ; and that seeing there is no hope of producing
enmity between the Queen and her Royal mother—no
expectation of a Tory House of Commons, and no
chance of inducing her Majesty to turn off her Whig
servants, or to thwart their measures by "a female and
back-stairs tyranny," to be kept up by, the ladies of the
Court, our time-serving Contemporary has determined
to serve the time once more, to " wheel about and
jump .Jim Crow," as formerly, to leave the Tories
in the lurch to shift as they can, and to join time ranks
of those who go to the farthest extreme of popular
opinions. As soon as decency will permit, or soone
if it better answer the purpose of the Times, sva shai
perhaps see it advocating with desperate zeal what i,
the cant of the day are called " organic changes," III:
ex;ndsion cf the Bishops, and the reform of th,
House of Lords, universal suffrage, annual or oftener.
if-need-be Parliaments, and the vote by ballot. W
:::ay pity the Tories under their loss, but we shall fe:
a deerr pity for the Radicals ; the sid,.: the Tinif:
espouses is likely to stiffer more than that which :
abandons. At least it has been so hitherto.—Mor::
lug- Chronicle.

We regret to perceive, by the report of the pro-
ceedings in the House of Commons last night, tha!
Mr. O'Connell did not persevere in bringing for
his motion upon the state of Ireland. No doubt sa-
tisfactory reasons have occurred to him, to induce him
to abandon his original intention of drawing the at-
tention of the country to the subject of Ireland,
grievances. We cannot, however, but think that, at
this moment, with a general election in immediatc•t
prospect, it would have been most desirable that ht,
should not only have laid before the people of th•
United Kingdom a full and fair expose of the condi
tion of Ireland, moral, physical, and political, but oi
the wants and wishes of her people. Such an exposi•
tion, especially at the close of such a Parliament as
the present, and the almost immediate election of an-1
other, could scarcely have failed to be productive di.
the best consequences, not only on the elections in
England and Scotland, but on those of Ireland, in
which the Hon. Gentlemm is so largly and so justly
inttJested.--illorning Advertiser.

The Hanoverian Gazette, received this morning,
announces the proclamation of the Duke of CUM-
BERLAND as King of HANOVER. His Royal High-
ness had not arrived on the 24th, but was hourly ex-
pected. The following are extracts :

HAN OVER, JUNE 24.
PROCLAMATION,
RELATIVE TO THE DEATH OF HIS AIAJESTT KING WILLIAM IV.
" It having pleased Diving PaovlnENca in its immortal
wisdom to call out of this mortal state, on the 20th of this
month, the late most puissant Prince and Sovereign William
IV., King of the united kingdom of Great Britain and Ire-
land, &c., also King of Hanover, Duke of Brunswick and
Luneburg, &c., our late most gracious King and Sovereign,
and the government of the kingdom of Hanover, by virtue of
the rights of succession in the royal family having, b) the law
of primogeniture, come to his Majesty King Ernest Augustus,
our present most gracious King and Sovereign, we 'hereby
give public notice of the same, observing that his Majesty, our
most gracious King, now reigning, who is at present in Lon-
don, will shortly arrive in this capital, when his further com-
mands may be expected ; meantime his Majesty has been
pleased to signify to us his royal pleasure that till his further
orders every thing shall go on in its usual course.
" ADOLPHUS, Viceroy.
" SHALENHEIM ALTEN.
" SCHULTE.
" T. C. VON DER WISCII.
" Hanover, May 24, 1837." Cabinet Ministers.
Letters from Hanover, of the 24th of June, say—At one
o'clock this mornir's we received here the melancholy news of
the death of our King, William IV. A notification issued by
the Viceroy and the Ministry was read to-day in the second
Chamber to announce this event, which will plunge the whole
country in mourning. The Estates were at the same time in-
formed that his Majesty, our present King Ernest Augustus,
may be very shortly expected.
Councillor Shulte then proposed to send an address of con-
dolence to her Majesty the Queen, arid, secondly, an address
of condolence to his Royal Highness the Viceroy, especially
expressing the gratitude of the country for the affection and
zeal with which this Prince has for more than 20 years, con-
ducted the government of this country. This motion, seconded
by Dr. Christiani and Syndic Lunzel, was adopted unanimously
by the assembly, which was deeply affected.
His Majesty (Ernest Augustus) is expected here on the
27th to ascend the throne. The section of the Constitution
on this subject runs thus :—" The King will announce his ac-
cession to the throne in letters patent, after which the oath
of allegiance is to be taken according to directions issued by
him, which arc to be the same for the whole country. In
the letters patent, the original of which, with the King's own
signature and seal appended, is to be deposited in the archives
of the kingdom, the King promises, on his 'Loyal word, in-
violably to maintain the Constitution of the Kingdom."
Ilis Royal Highness the Viceroy, with his family, will pro-
bably leave us, if not before, yet certainly immediately after,
the arrival of his Majesty.
There can hardly be a doubt that in view of the extensive
duties which the Government must to have perform on this
charge of the Sovereign, the most important that has occurred
in Hanover for a century, a dissolution of the Assembly of
the States may be looked on as_ immediate. We are all
in anxious expectioo of coining events, and, while mourn-
ing over our deceased Sovereign, indulge in the cheer-
ing hope that God may have given the country a gracious and
just King, who, like his deceased Royal Brother, will look on
the constitution of the country and the happiness of his sub-
jects as the most sacred treasures which God has confiled to
him, to be accounted for on the day of judgment; and so,
full of confidence and hope, we offer him, on his accession
to the throne, the dearest possessions, the inalienable pro-
perty of his vassals, the love of the people. Numerous
couriers and expresses have been despatched to-day in
all directions. Several persons in office, who had gone
to their country seats, have been specially recalled. The
general mourning begins to-day. M. V. Steinberg has
set out for Osnaburg to meet the King. It is said the King
will stop here only two or three days, and then return to Lon-
don with the Queen. The bells of all the churches tolled for
one hour to-day, at noon. This tolling will be repeated every
day from all the churches till the 24th of June. The courier
who brought the news was only ninety. four hours on his way
from London.
BERLIN, JUNE 21._-News of the death of his Majesty the
King of Britain, at h ilf-past three in the morning of flat! 20th
inst., has been received here to-day through the telegraph.—
Prussian State Gazette.

The whole of the Paris papers of Thursday have
been received. With the exception of the news con-
tained in the following extracts they do not contain a
syllable of news worthy of even passing notice :
A. letter from 'Coulon, of the 25th June, is as follows :
" The real purpose of sending a squadron to the Levant is un-
known, at least here. It has been said on the authority of the
last letters from Constantinople, that the sending of Russian
troops to Atlysia is a serious event, which may lead to some
collision. But if Russia desire to
subdue the people of Al-
basis, how can this aggrandisement of the Rassian dominion 'n
the Bl.:ck S.:a be obstructed by squadrons which cannot pass
either the Dardanelles or the Bosphorus? Is the squadron of
the Admiral Gallois intended to prevent the revictualling of
Tripoli ? We cannot oppose the ailing of the Turkish fleet
which is appointed to this service, only as the Turkish ship
might attempt to land men or ammunition on the coasts of the
province of Constantina, or to dethrone the Bey of Tunis, our
ally, the motions of the Turkish division ens y be watched.
" As for what is called the squadron of Atrica, it is evident
that it might be more properly called the squadi on of Cata
lonia. It is now known that the treaty of peace concluded by
General Bugeaud is ratified; it is even affirmed by other
letters from the Ministry, that that Generd is appointed Go-
vernor of Our posscssions in the North of Africa ; it was there-
fore unnecessary now to organise a squadron to act in the Co-
lony, Nothing more is wanted than some vessels to bring
back to France the greater parts of the troops, fur the faults
of diminishing the effective force of the Army of Occupation
will certainly he committed. As a further proof that the
squadron of Rear-Admiral Lalande is destined for Catalonia,
it may be stated that not one of the vessels now on the coast
is included in it."
'The Don Sens has the following article :
" The King of the Belgians is expected at Neuilly on
Sunday. Two messages have already conveyed to him in.
vitations from the King, his father in-law. Ang t
opt dits, the son-in-law of Louis Philippe is destined to be the
medium of the relations between the Court of the Tuileries
and the new Queen of England. The Liberalism of the
Duchess of Kent is talked of with a vague terror. Count
Sebastian has transmitted alarming notes, which have led to
the writing of an autograph letter of the King of the Frenc
to the Queen, which is said to point out in detail the dancer
that would arise of putting the revolutions of France and Bel-
gium to hazard, by giving a premature developement to the
reforming policy, by the formation of a new Cabinet. It
is said that this letter has not had the expected effect, and that,
in consequence the intervention of the King of the Belgians
with his sister has been asked in favour of the statu quo which
has been established with so much difficulty.—Le Commerce.
