THE LATE MR. MORI.

(From the Morning Post.)

Perhaps the death of no individual in the musica,
world could create a greater sensation in this country
than that of poor Mori, our national violinist. He de-
parted this life on the night of the 13th instant, in the
most sudden and unexpected manner. No one, how-
ever, who was acquainted with Morils personal appear-
ance but must have suspected that for many months
past he was the victim of some obscure malady,
and such now proves to have been the case.—
On his merits as a musician it is unnecessary for us at
the present moment to enlarge. Some recent defects
in the execution and tcne of Mr. Mori, which close
and accurate observers of his performances have not
failed to notice, proceeded from a partial loss of power
in the fingers of the left hand, in consequence of a
slight paralytic seizure which he experienced about two
years ago, and of which he afterwards had several re-
lapses, that temporarily more or less affected both his
memory and his physical frame. Few men have pos-
sessed the same degree of influence in the musical world
that he did, or succeeded in obtaining so great a share
of public patronage. Yet he was not generally
liked by his professional brethren. The cause of
the moral peculiarities which occasioned this alienation
is now explained. They were not his fault but his mis-
fortune, the usual and inevitable attendants on the
morbid condition of brain which, it has now been as-
cestained, embittered his life, and was insidiously cut-
ting short the thread of his existence. The immediate
cause of Mori's decease was the rupture of a large blood-
vessel in the chest. He died in a few minutes. The
origin of his mental infirmities was chronic disease of the
brain, ossification of its blood-vessels, slow inflammation
of its membranes, and softening of its substance. Over
this slow and lingering state of disease he could have no
control : no doubt it was much Aggravated by the con-
stant state of excitement in which he lived, ,and the her-
culean, undertakings he used to engage in. His morbid
irritability, which at times amounted almost to insanity,
often led him to act discourteously towards his profes-
sional brethren ; they will now forgive him. He was
really not accountable for his actions ; they were the re-
sult of disease, and not of moral delinquency. Let his
enemies, then, be sparing in their censure and lenient
in their criticism. His disease, we are informed, must
have been progressing for many years, and we are glad
of the opportunity of rescuing both the private and
public reputation of a man of acknowledged talent from
any obloquy which
might otherwise attach to his
memory.

CAPTAIN MARRYAT'S NEW NOVEL, cc THE
PHANTom SHIP."-,NVe are del;kited with this singularly
wild tale of the Sea. ha it Captain Marrya has givon
full play to his varied powers of description, which enables
him to tell the marvels of the land, and with equal spirit
the wonders of the great deep. The Legend of the " Fly-
ing Dutchman"
tails Marryat has f pretty generally known ; upon it Cap'.
ourded his " Phantom Ship," and it has
rarely fallen to our lot to have to notice a more succoss-
ful attenat. Philip
i 4
Vanderdecken, the beautiful Amine,
and the malignant Schrifter, are all drawn with a masterly
hand. The final liberation by Philip of his father from
the fearful punishment which carries his " Phantom Ship"
for ever beating round the Cape is narrated most impres-
sively—one Jeek the awfulness of the scene. It is not our
intention to enter
minutely into the various beauties Gf
this tale, for we would net lessen the pleasure with which
it must be read. In every variety of scene Captain Mar.
ryat most deeply interests us, whilst the marvellous, the
unearthly, and the more tender of the earthly passions are
so depicted as to make us regret that the " Phantom
Ship's" voyage is over.—Age.
we understand,
be .honoured with the presence of an unusual number of
distinguished persons. About 80 horses aro expected, in_
eluding several of first-rate character.

We regret to say that the Stamp-oflice autho-
rities have decided that the Anti-Corn-Lau? Circular
cannot be printed without the red tax-mark on its corner
This ought to be an additional incitement to the friends of
free trade to redouble their exertions in promoting the cir-
culation of the stamped sheet.

METROPOLITAN POLITICAL

SUMMARY.

The Courier thus speaks of the pending dispute between
the House of Commons, and the Queen's Bench :—" The
House of Commons is placed at this moment in a truly
pitiable situation, and not one of its Members, apparently,
is able to suggest a remedy. It is evident, now, that
every notorious criminal whose infamy is alluded
to in the proceedings of a Committee, or in a Go-
vernment return, or in a petition from those who
have suffered from his crimes, will have it in his power
to bring an action for libel against the printer of the
House, if the present practice of allowing the public to
11::ve access to Parliamentary documents is persisted in.
Sir Robert Inglis, indeed, supposes that the matter may be
more carefully prepared for the printer, and all libellous
matter excluded from every publication ; but such an
opinion only betrays the worthy Baronet's inexperience in
these matters."

The Globe, alluding to the subject of National Eden-
tion, expresses itself to the following effect :—" Some of
the most noisy and obtrusive opponents of the Government
measure respecting National EducAtion, have boldly pro-
mulgated erroneous fallacies for the sake of misleading
public opinion and exciting popular alarm, which re-
quire only to be accurately stated to be exposed to
general repudiation and contempt. For instance,
it has been asserted that no measure of national
education ought to be sanctioned by the legislature of
this country which does not involve the introduction of re-
ligious principles under the direction and control of the
Established Church. But it is plainly impossible that any
system of national education can be directed or controlled
by any one religious incorporation, unless either an act of
uniformity be successfully applied to all classes of the corn-
munity, or Government be allowed coercively to interfere
between parents and their children, and tyranically to over-
turn whatever belongs to domestic sympathy and freedom."
The Standard observes, in allusion to last night's
debate in the Commons, on the subject of privilege—
" What then is to define the duties and the power of the
Houses of Parliament ? We answer the law ; that only
true and comprehensive representative of the people for all
purposes—the law, speaking through those Ministers whom
the people have appointed. When Mr. Sergeant Wilde
and others talk of the existing dispute as lying between
the people and the Ccurt of Queen's Bench, they
betray gross ignorance, or shameful cowardice; if the
Judges have decided according to law (and we shall
again incur Mr. Sergeant Wilde's charge of ignorance by
saying that they have so decided), then the quarrel is
clearly between the House of Commons and the law ; if,

on the other hand, the Judges have, in that encroaching
spirit most falsely and most indecently imputed to them,
perverted the law, then it is the first duty of the House of
Commons to address the Crown for the removal of these
delinquent Magistrates. But if, as we have shown, the
House of Corr.mons is not the people in the comprehensive
sense assumed, neither is it consistent %%ith any theory of
regular government that the people in their collective
character can act in defiance of the laws that themselves
have established."

The Morning Herald of this day, in the course of a
leading article suggested by last night's debate on the Bal-
lot in the House of Commons, makes the following inci-
dental allus!ons to Mr. Macaulay's speech :—" Clever. as
Mr. Macaulay is—and stored with knowledge as he must
be admitted to be—he appears to lack all the higher and
rarer qualiles of a great speaker. His voice is indifferent
in quality ; his delivery wretched. Fluent—volnble—he
assuredly is ; but his volubility would seem to be unaccom-
panied with quickness—the secret—at least one of the
secrets—of success in debate. By quickness,' we
mean, of course, something very different from rapidity
of enunciation :—we mean, in short, promptness in deal-
ing with the almost infinite variety of shapes which an
ingenious adversary's arguments may assume. Mr. Mac-
aulay, during his harangue, displayed the air of a man
who, in virtue of a vary strong memory, has fortified him-
self with a long essay. Now, clever as the essay may be,
it is apt to prove a poor substitute for a living and breath.
ing speech called into existence by the operations of that
spirit, who,e province it is to brood over the chaos of a
debate. Mr. Macaulay's spoken essay was a collection of
ch,Nerly-expresstd common-places, excepting where it
hai:pene:l to embody some proposition simply, yet emi-
nently absurd. Of the latter description was his defence
of open questions.'"
The Times thus summarily disposes of the discussion on
the Ballot question :—" Before 9 o'clock the Ballot ques-
tion came on, and exhibited Ministers in another of those
disgraceful positions with which they are now become fami-
liar—in the situation of abandoning their collective resis-
tance to Radical innovation, and leaving all their under-
lings to curry favour with revolutionary constituencies by a
new thrust at the British Constitution."

The Morning Post thus speaks of Mr. Serjeant Wilde's
speech on the subject of the dispute on prhilege between
the Commons and the Queen's Bench :—" In arguing
with Mr. Sergeant Wilde a legal point which the Court
of Queen's Bench has by the unanimous • consent of its
Judges already decided in opposition to the Learned Ser-
geant's opinion, we should unduly exalt him and unduly
degrade ourselves and our readers. The time happily is
not yet come when a hard-mouthed lawyer, by dint of
stentorian lungs and a reputation for dexterity in nisi
pries practice, can revoke into doubt a question solemnly
decided by the Court of Queen's Bench. We need only
remind Mr. Sergeant Wilde of what every tyro in his pro-
fession knows, that the Court of Queen's Bench, by a de-
cision against which the . House of Commons has not
thought it prudent to appeal, has settled the law to be the
reverse of all that the Learned Sergeant said in his speech,
and that no speech of his is-:likely ever to unsettle what
has thus been settled." •
The Morning Chronick, referring to the debate that
took place last night in the House of Commons, on the
question of the 13al:ot, says—" The question is, in truth,
easily undagool, and the people do understand it well.
The opponents of the Ballot are the opponents of liberty.
An oligarchy loves to invest itself with the forms of free-
dom. Its delight is to delude the people with a semblAnce
of independence, retaining in its own hands the power of
controlling its exercise. The rotten borough system was a
felicitous expedient, for the number of voters to be coerced
or purchased before the Reform Bill made the task of
controlling the popular voice comparatively easy
and unexpensive. The Reform Bill is, comparatively, an
expensive instrument; and it may be doubted whether the
odiurn,to which the exercise of intimidation on a large
scale subjects the oligarchy, will not, ere long, lead to the
destruction of its power. The representative influences of
the oligarchy end the people in the House of Commons
are; we have seen, as. 335 and 218. But as at the next
electiori it rney'be expected that every independent bo-
rciugli will make the Ballot a condition sine qua non, we
may count a large addition to the popular influence in the
House."

The Morning Ae'vertiser comments as follows on Sidney
Smith's late pamphlet on the Ballot :—" Gentle dullness'
is said to love a joke.' The Rev. Sydney Smith, al-
ready celebrated for the j2cose character of his previous
pamphlets, has addressed himself to the above weak
side of the children of dulness at this very critical
thee, by a pamphlet more amusing than convincing
against the Ballot. The gist of his pamphlet is, that the
Ballot i 3 a cowardly and insincere mode of proceeding.
He says that the electors under the Ballot will become
a set of deceitful wretches wearing the wrong colours,
abusing their friends, pelting the man for whom they
vwed, drinking their enemies' punch, knocking down per-
sons with whom they entirely agreed, and roaring out
eternal duration to principles they abhorred.' We should
be glad to know whether the intimidation to which tyranny
resorts to coerce reluctant dependence (and against which
the Ballet is demanded as a protection) be not a more
cowardly and un-English proceeding than the alleged
concealing of opinion imputed to the Ballot?"

APPLICATION TO ADMIT MR.

VINCENT TO BAIL.

Mr. Roberts, solicitor, of Bath, and one of the
Chartist leaders, who has been in Newport for the List
day or two, making arrangements for the defence of
Vincent, at the ensuing Assizes, applied to the Magis-
trates on behalf of his cheat, that he should be allowed
to enter into his own recognizances to appear at the
Assizcs, to answer the charges upon which he had
been committed.

The MAYOR—I understand your application, Mr.
Roberts, to be, that Mr. Vincent be liberated on
his own recognizance.
Mr. Roberts—Yes ; and on your refusal I would
desire to know the terms upon which you will liberate
him.

The MAYOR--I am here to listen to any application
you wish to make on behalf of your client ; but cannot
speak of terms further than to intimate to you the
amount of the recognizances required by the Magistrates
before whom be was examined, viz. : his own recogni-
zance for .5001., and two sureties for 2.501. each, to ap-
pear at the Assizes, and also to be of good behaviour
for twelve months. Under these circumstances, he
cannot be liberated merely on his own recognizance.
Mr. Roberts---What you have just stated, is informa-
tion for me : I did not know it before, I now tender
you sureties for the appearance of Mr. Vincent at the
ensuing assizes, without the latter condition, viz., good
behaviour for twelve months.

The MAYOR—I will take bail for his appearance.
Mr. Roberts—And dismiis the other condition ?
MAYOR—No, no. I will not dismiss the condition,
but I will take bail for his appearance.
Mr. Roberti---Then, in fact, you refuse to take bail,
and liberate .Mr. Vincent, until the assizes.
.MAyou—l wish it to be distinctly understood, that I
do not refuse to take bail for his appearance, but I can-
not release the condition required by the examining
Magistrates. •
Mr. Roberts—Will If-ou discharge him front custody
on his giving the required bail ?
The NIAYoit—W here are the surities ?
Mr. Roberts—They are not here. I did not know
the amount of bail which would be required, and there-
fore did not incur the expense of bringing over persons
who might be refused.
The MAYOR again expressed his readiness to accept
bail for Mr. Vincent's appearahce, but would not release
him from any condition imposed on him by the exa•
mining Magistrates.
Mr. Roberts then retired.—Merlin.

It is generally supposed that our Member, Mr.
Chichester, is about to retire from public life, and to take
up his permament residence at Arlington.—North Devon
Advertiser (Barnstaple).
ANOTHER MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.--In
addition to the marriage of Mr. Gladstone to Miss Glynne,
Lord Lyttleton will at the same time lead to the hymeneal
altar her younger Sister, Miss Mary Glynno.
The marriage of Major Hawkey to the eldest
daughter of Mr. Robarts, the banker, takes place in a few
days.
