BRUSSELS AND GERMAN PAPERS.

BRINSELs, JAN. 22.—The old hospital of the camp at Beverloo, i
totally destroyed by a fire, which broke out on the 19th in the evening
it was occupied by a detachment of soldiers labouring under ophthalmia
and by the officers of the Boards of Management. The magazines with.
out exception, the accounts of the hospital, and the strong-chest of the
Director, are burnt ; the arms of the soldiers are lost. But greater ca-
lamities are to be deplored. Some say six dead bodies have been found
among the ruins; six of the blind soldiers are wounded, three of them
very severely, and 136 escaped from the flames in a state of nudity—
clothing was provided for them.
BRUSSELS, JAN. 23.—The accounts of the dreadful fire, which
has thrown the city of Ghent into consternation, are still incomplete.
The beautiful church of the Augustines, and two large manufactories were
destroyed at the beginning. The fire first broke out at the manufac-
tory of Mr. Flaxman, to which, it was hoped, it would have been con-
fined, but communicated to an adjoining howc, and thence to the
church of the Augustines, after which, it was impossible to stop its
progress, the frost preventing the engines from worki:7g for long time,
and the fire extended to the convent of the Augustine%, all which were
completely destroyed, and every effort was directed to save the neigh.
bouring buildings. It was necessary to pull down two houses, to cut off
the communication, and several others are much damaged.
The loss is very great, and partly irreparable. The silver plate
belonging to the church of the Augustines, and two fine pictures
by Crayer, were saved, but all the sacerdotal ornamtnts, and
many valuable articles were destroyed. It seems that all the
pictures in the church were burnt, except ten. In one part
of the convent was the library of the late Mr. Lammens, now
the property of Professor Vats Coetsene, which was on the point of being
sold by auction. The catalogue contained 18,000 lots. The staircase
leading to the library, was in flames, and these treasures were on the
point of being destroyed, when it was recollected that another staircase,
which, however, was walled up at the top, led to the library ; an open-
ing having been made, measures were taken to preserve the books,
which might have answered the end, liad not the danger excited fears,
which, perhaps, were exaggerated. The voluMes were thrown out of
the window, so that a great part of them ware destroyed or damaged, the
precious MSS. were saved. Fears were entertained for the Museum, and
the pictures, which were of a size to be removed without damage, were
carried to a place of safety. At one time it was proposed to cut the
large pictures from the frames, but this happily proved to be unneces.
nary. It is not certain whether any lives are lost.
BERLIN, JAN. 1 I.—The latest accounts received here from Rome art
much more satisfactory than those which we find in the South Getman
Papers.
A letter from a very respectable quarter, dated Rome, Dec. 28, says
—" His Holiness, after further explanations relative to the affairs of
the Church of the Rhenish Provinces of Prussia, has changed his views
on many points, and modified, in a satisfactory manner, many of the
decisions formed on .them, and thus given full reasons to believe that
the conjectures that these events might lead to an abolition of the Con-
cordat, and even to the cessation of diplomatic relations between the
Papal See and our Government, was too hastily formed and publicly ex-
pressed. The report that Dr. Bunsen is recalled, seems indeed to be
confirmed, but it is well known that previously to the affair of Cologne
it was intended that he should exchange his diplomatic functions for a
high post at home, and that he would return to Rome for a short time
only. Certain information has been received that the Emperor and Em-
press of Russia wiii arrive here in I`,lay, and stop six or eight weeks.

LOVE, BY THE AUTHORESS OF " FLIRTATION.
—The authoress- of this work has long since established her
reputation as a novelist by her details of fashionable life. A
member of that fair state' which is called the " exclusive world,"
al a ays living in intercom se with rank, and not seldom with
royalty, Lady Charlotte has had all the advantages of situa-
tion ; and the loveliness and grace of her pen shcw that to those
she has amply added the advantages of study. Her new per-
formance is particularly addressed to her own sex, and con-
bins those practical lessons which are required•by so many,
and could be conveyed, with similar effect, by so few.
On Monday evening last week a very .inelanclioly
occurrence took place at the Broomielaw. It seems ..that a
captain, who had been for some time unemployed, got an ap-
pointment on short notice, and, in order to arrange matters fur
the future, his wife went on, board a vessel that•was just •about
• to leave the Broomielaw, to prepare a house in Greenock, her
husband intending to be down with his ship on the following
morning. It appears that about hail an hour before the ves-
sel's hour of departing, the captain on going across a tier of
ships, lost his footing, and was precipitated into the water,
and although got out in about ten minutes afterwards, life was
gone. The anguish of the poor widow next day, when the
vessel arrived with the intelligence of her husband's death, may
be imagined.—Edinburgh Advertiser.

SPIAIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS

-Nit'. Edward Lytton Bulwer, in alluding on Tues-
ay night to Mr. Roebuck's speech at the bar, ob-
seertd, " The Learned Gentleman no doubt made
the most of his case ; but he (Mr. Bulwer) must say
that considering the flourish of trumpets with which
lie was announced—considering the solemn menaces
of proving high crimes and misdemeanours against
the Government—considering the length and elaborate
bitterness of his oration--he must say that he never
knew a speech of so formidable an exordium arrive at
more feeble and impotent conclusions." The flourish
of trumpets to which Mr. E. L. Bulwer here alludes,
is no doubt Mr. Roebuck's letter to " the people -of
England'. in the Weekly Chronicle of Sunday last.
Mr. Roebuck was his own trumpeter, and something
more ; for—previous to. his appearance on the stage
—he would seem to have considered it neceseary.
to denounce, as a set of -incapables, the little band
whom he had prevailed on to- commit
th,
ill-
selves much more deeply to French Canadian-,
politics
than either justice or a prudent re n
reputations warranted. Re
"to their own
Russell's statement of • th to o Lord Jelin
Canadian comp!aie:,s,o- tus oealing measure for the
courage of the
',ie. Roebuck exclaims, ioThe
frozen
ttatPicals seemed ; their intellect
was all in abeyance ; and nothing was heard hut a
whimpering that was marvellously like the
do/erui cries of a whipped schoolbOy."
4' Was there no man," he adds, " in the House of Com-
mons who could have taken the Report of 1828, and have
shown step by step how Administration after Administra-
tion had utterly neglected to carry into effect the recom-
mendations of that Committee? Could they not have ad-
duced the evidence of M. Morir, the deputy from the As-
sembly, wherein he expressly states that the House would
have been satisfied if those recommendations had been car-
ried out ; that they were discontented because they were not
so ? Could they not have taken the Reports of the Ministers'
Commissioners, and read passage after passage, wherein it
is declared that their recommenations unhappily have not
been attended to ? And, lastly, could they not have ad-
duced the resolutions of last year, in which the same ad-
mission is solemnly made by the two Houses of Parliament?
Was there ever such material for an overwhelming answer?
Was there ever such neglect of effective weapons?
Burke 'tn his best days—Fox during his whole life—would
have torn this puny successor to the name of Whig into ten
thousand shreds, and gibbeted his reputation for ever. But
there's no spirit now-a-days—we are all pigmies—men
seem dwarfed, and they cannot exalt their understandings
•or their sentiments to the height of the great argument
before them. The world's liberties, the world's happiness,
is nightly debated ; the result is made to turn upon some
mere point of form ; and the attention of six hundred men,
chosen, or said to be chosen, by twenty-four millions, is
kept engaged by dissertations email :tins from the giant
wisdom of Sir Robert Peel ab0,..1t the form' in which the
Queen's Ministers should have addressed the House.
Was there no man to cleel this slip-slop statesman a good
lusty back-handed stroke, which should have sent him
howling to his frie-ads, a sorry sight and despicable example?
I own my blond boils when I think of these things. Oh,
England; sib, my country ! is this your chosen band of
rulers Is this the choice and prime of the intellect among
you ? It cannot be so."
-The Learned Gentlemen has paraphrased very hap-
ipily here Sir John Falstaff's lament over the extinc-
tion of bravery in England, with the improvement
adapted for the more fastidious modesty of modern
times, of substituting for the compliment which the
knight paid to himself an indirect intimation only that
a grant was in existence, and would in due time make
his appearance. " There must be spirits of a higher
order," he adds. Yes, there must. But to Sir John.
" Go thy ways, old Jack ; die when thou wilt, if man-
hood, good manhood, be not forgot upon the face of
the earth, then I am a shotten herring. There live
not three good men unhang'd in England ; and one
of them is fat, and grows old : God help the while
a bad world, I say I I would I were a weaver ; I
could sing all manner of songs. A plague of all
cowards, I say still !" Well, then, after this flourish of
trumpets, the giant did appear at the bar, and what
did he do ? Not a whit more in reality than the dwarfs
who preceded him. " The Learned Gentleman's
historical recapitulation," as was justly observed by
Mr. E. L. Bulwer, " had no more to do with the Bill
before the House, than a history of the Deluge would
have to de with a Bill to guard against the everflow of
the river St. Lawrence. It has been remarked that
some men we do not trust because we do not know
them, and some again we do not trust because we do
know them. In like manner we may say of Mr. Roe-
buck's historical recapitulation, that it had failed of
its effect, because Honourable Members had become
sufficiently acquainted with the facts of the case to be
able to supply from their recollections an addition to
every one of the Learned Gentleman's statements,
which completely altered its complexion. All the flow
of the Learned Gentleman, and he was abundantly
fluent, was unavailing. We do not believe that even
one of the little band whom he cast away, like so
many squeezed oranges, when he could no longer
use:hem, believed in his heart, after hearing his apo-
logy for the Legislative Assembly, that they were not
during the last four or five years looking out for pre-
texts to justify a foregone conclusion—the dissolution
of their connection with this country. To counteract
the disposition which is so apparent that every one who
reads the papers must see it, evinced by the Govern.
ment of this country to carry into effect the recom-
mendations of the report of the Committee of 1828,
with which they at one time professed themselves sa-
tisfied, they contrived to tack to every Bill introduced
for that purpose seine obnoxious and objectionable
provision which rendered the rejection of the Bill in-
dispensable. The Legislative Assembly were, in bad
faith, scheming, with the pettifogging adroitness of
experienced sharp-pracfcers, what might seem co-
lourable pretexts for insurrection. The whole of the
mighty charges of misconduct against time Govern-
ment reduced themselves to au alleged delay on
the part of Lords Gosford and Glenelg in
the execution of what was by no means an
easy task, the naming a sufficient number of
good men for the Legislative Council to render that
branch of the Legislature unobjectionable. Already
we have, in the melancholy recitals of the cruel retalia-
tion for their losses by the volunteers at Eustache and
Grand Brule; but too sufficient an evidence of the
mischief of civil strife. The Scotch have a proverb
to denote that the re-action corresponds with the ac-
tion, that the pendulum of a clock goes as far one
way as the other. We have in the deep-seated resen-
titnents of Ireland a melancholy proof how difficult it
is to lay aside the memory of outrages originating in
feuds of race and religion. Before men draw the sword
in civil strife, and commit to hostilities against each
other men distinguished by diversities of race, religion,
and habits, they ought to bethink them of the immense
difficulty of arresting the course of revenge. A letter
from Montreal in our City Correspondent's commu-
nication, from the most respectable source, states
'that the authorities have obtained possession of
the plan of the insurrection, which was to have
broken out on a number of points on the 16th
December, but was precipitated. Mr. Roebuck
would have it that these would have been no insur-
rection but for the arrest of the leaders, and the effect
Produced on the multitude by the mode in which they
were conveyed to prison. This has just so much
truth as most of his other allegations :—there would
have been no insurrection ; true—till the 16th. And
we are to believe, forsooth, that all the training and
organization was mere play ! Had, then, the instil:-
reedier] been allowed to obtain maturity and le„'...rst forth
Lilin infinite number of places on t/..ge 16th Decem-
ber, who can say what the P:otoutit of havoc would
have been before the in
:entrection was put down ? and
what a fouudatio.,
would have been laid for feuds
Which for Ten'erations would have converted the pro-
vince .a
pandemonium ? Owing to the prema-
ture explosion, the insurrection has been confined to
tine district of Montreal ; and we entertain a hope
that the excesses at Eustache and Grand Brule
may generate no feelings of a dark character
that may display themselves in future vengeance.
B 1 it would have required far more powers
than Mr. Roehuek possesses to succeed with 'a calm
itasembly of English gentlemen in producing the per-
tuasion that the leaders of the French Canadians were
Justified in having recourse to that last extremity of
the sword. Hopeless ought the prospect of redress
by peaceful and constitutional means to be which
justifies the having recourse to arms. But the Mem-
bers of the Legislative Assembly, so far from being
without hope, had the experience of a regular
•

progress in Reform ever since the Report of the Com-
mittee of 1898. The Canadians, too, so far from
suffering under intolerable oppression, were, by all
accounts, in a most enviable condition. With a reck-
lessness, and utter inability to understand their
position, without seeming to have the least abi-
lity to estimate the relative strengths of Canada
and this great and powerful empire, the political
quacks of Canada, elated by the success of their
little plots to battle the good intentions of the Govern-
ment, have plunged their poor dupes into a eonto".t
which could not possibly have to them a successful
issue. Never did men so richly deserve their fate as
these guides of the mlor French Canadians. rul
Mr. Roebuck, great in words as he drnns himself,
ought by this time to hare lear.'.". that there is a mate-
rial difference between dreaming of large hosts ritsbiti.g
crom the Uni
bait of. • tP:j, States into Canadq, tkl,teetl by the
:ne to-he-confiscated 14116, and the sober
"I'ality. Dr. Franklin could not make such long
speeches as Mr. Roebuck, for he never spoke longer
at a time than ten minutes, but he was a safer politi-
cal guide ; and it is because the Legislative Assembly
contained only chatterers, and were without statesmen
possessed even of a tithe of his sagacity, that they
have madly provoiced a contest which could not pos-
sibly he successful, and which has already produced
such calamitous results.—Morning Chronicle.

A purely military question relating to Canada would
be much easier to settle than an inquiry either " how
she has been," or " how she ought to be, governed."
Questions, military and civil, have been abundantly,
and not at all unnaturally, mixed up in the late Parlia-
mentary discussions. Lower Canada being in open
rebellion, it was unavoidable that men should ask what
it was that had thrown a once loyal and tranquil pro-
vince into a condition so calamitous ?—whether it was
through Want of statesmanlike policy, or from an in-
sufficieAy of armed force ?--whether, in short, Mr.
Roebuck's pithy accusation was true or not true—viz.,
that " Ministers had done everything in their power to
provoke rebellion, and nothing to render it hopeless?"
It will be seen that such a charge involves both a mili-
tary question and a civil one—both affecting the past
conduct of her Majesty's Government towards the people
of Lower Canada. The Ministers themselves have been
not a little anxious to ingraft upon the above two topics a
third, which should divert public attention from them
and supersede them in the debates of Parliament—
namely, how the error they had themselves committed,
or, if they like it better, how the misfortune, inno-
cently no doubt, incurred by them, should be repaired,
and what sort of political existence should henceforth
be assigned to Lower Canada. Of the debate com-
mencing on Monday and adjourned to the following
night, much the greater portion was consumed in argu-
ments upon the cause and origin of this Canadian war,
than in the consideration of the remedy proposed for it
by Ministers. Mr. Roebuck's statement at the bar
of the House being, and professing to be, no more
than a defence of his principals, the majority of the
Canadian Assembly, was of necessity an attack upon
the British Government, which the Learned Gentle-
man extended over a period beginning with 1774
and ending with 1837. The learned advocate of
the House of Assembly did not fairly grapple
with the question, whether England bad not for
a series of years, to this hour, been granting pri-
vileges to the Canadian people, and showering benefits
on them, which in the earlier stages of their colonial
connexion with this country they had never dreamed
of—which, had they continued a dependency of
France, that paternal monarchy would never have
dreamed of bestowing ; and yet, in the absence or
during their more partial or limited possession of
which, the French race of Lower Canada never talked
of grievances, but ardently and affectionately devoted
themselves to the cause of great Britain, flocked to her
standard, and bravely fought her battles, flinging aside
contemptuously the menaces and temptations of old
friends and new flatterers, who sought to withdraw
them from their allegiance to the British Crown. Mr.
Roebuck, who dwelt much on the magnitude of their
grievances as the justification of that revolt into which
the unfortunate dupes of Lower Canada had suffered
themselves to be betrayed, never once ventured to
explain how it was that the people proved themselves
to be loyal and enthusiastic in their love of Eng-
land while their political privations were many, and
the rights aid enjoyments conceded to them by the
parent state were few, or had no existence. Whereas, in
proportion as their wants have been supplied, their
grievances redressed, and their general condition has
been raised and amended, The organs of the province
have breathed nought but disaffection and sedition,
until now, instead of fighting for England at all
hazards, and with the whole world against them, the
ill-advised colonists have drawn the sword against her,
without even the shadow of a definite complaint
which could palliate the loss of a single life, or
the disturbance of one half hour's tranquillity. It
was one among the complaints of the Papineau
faction in Lower Canada and here, that the Canadians
felt as an intolerable grievance the refusal so to com-
pose the Legislative Council that it should " har-
monize" (that is the word) with the majority of the
people's representatives ! To all which it is a solid
answer, that a Legislative Council which should har-
monize with M. Papineau must be one which,
so far as in it lay, would dissolve the whole
frame of civil government in the' province, throw
off the supremacy of Queen Victoria's crown, and
dismember the British empire. If, therefore, the in-
tegrity of that empire, and the exception of the pro-
vince from all colonial duties, be that which, under the
title of a redress of grievances, the Canadian malcon-
tents lay down as a sine qua' non, Mr. Roebuck indi-
vidually can neither be surprised nor disappointed at
the ill success of a remonstance to the Parliament of
this country which begins and ends with such a de-
mand on behalf of any parties in Lower Canada. One
section of that passage in the Learned Gentleman's
speech, to which we have already alluded, merits more
serious consideration than any complaint against Great
Britain generally, inasmuch as it is a charge; not
against the country, but a severe and a just one, against
the Queen's advisers. Why, says the Canadian advo-
cate, if you did so much to incense the people of
Canada, and goad them into rebellion, " why did you
do nothing to make rebellion hopeless?" There is no
reply to this. When Ministers saw (and even Lord
Gosford in his lucid moments, and Lord Glenelg in his
waking ones, did ace that, ;nstead of returning peace,
there was constantly increasing evidence or a further
spread of disaffection)—but when Ministers saw that
they made no progress towards the conciliation of
Canada, but, on the contrary, that none can tell where
the spirit of sedition and defiance to lawful authority
would end, any man of sense, any man of common
foresight, and, above all things, any man whose
ordinary foresight was capable of being quickened by
an active feeling for the public peace and dread of
human suffering, must have acknowledged than when
fair means failed to avert the probability of civil war,
means of another description, and effectual intans
ought to be resorted to. An opinion of the
pealed
Dukeec
of Wellington is eagerly and reverently ae
to by the Whigs in their extremity; ;is an excuse
for not having sent more tro,;,ps to'Lower Canada.
Now, even in its nre;„tary sense, that was a narrowly-
guarded and qualified opinion. Lord Melbourne
had -.omitted that he felt the pressure of the charge of
negligence for not having reinforced Lower Canada.
No, says the Duke of Wellington, it is not there I
consider S,ou to be mist severely pressed. It is, that
after you did order troops to Lower Canada, you did
not furnish with a fresh supply of troops the posts
left naked by their removal from Nova Scotia and
New Brunswick. It is, that you left thoseimpor-
tant stations totally unguarded, and at the same time
kept up no reserve whatever within reach of Sir
John Colborise, should his necessities require it. The
Whigs may make the most of this, and call it an ac-
quittal, if they like. A hardened culprit will some-
times, with a knowing wink, make a bow of acknow-
ledgment to the judge who sentences him to trans-
portation. This, however, is nothing to the taunt
with which Mr. Roebuck regaled her Majesty's Minis-
jeorsa.

for that cruel and dreadful increase of the horrors of
an armed contest, which has thus been aggravated
into an irregular and revengeful civil war between
neighbours infuriated against each other, the _Mi-
nister who withheld a- reinforcement of troops from
Lower Canada must be considered amenable before
God and man. As for the Bill by which all these
evils are to be rectified, at the suggestion of her Ma-
jesty's Ministers, we have already stated our astonish-
ment that such a farrago of absurdity, imbecility, and
gross duplicity, should have been concocted even by a
Cabinet of which Lords Glenelg and John Russell are
members, and in whose service " plain" John Camp-
bell enacts the Attorney-General's part. It seems
past all moral possibility that such a Bill should ever
pass into a law. That it should be acted upon to any
honest or beneficial purpose is wholly out of the ques-
tion. However, within twenty-four hours we shall
see it properly dealt with by Sir Robert Peel, who

prits to their purgation.—Times.

Lord Durham to take as his counsellors the creatures

rebel and a labelled and ticketted traitor ? This is
another of the acts in the Whig farce of " concilia-
tion." It is anothr instance of the miserable indeci-
sion and vacillation which distinguish the Whig Cabi-
net. The farce has already been followed by a tra-
gedy, and now it would seem as if the tragedy were to
he followed by a repetition of the farce I The House

tious course, ending in rebellion, as a commentary
upon the practical wisdom of Whig conciliation, the
Whigs now propose that a miniature House of As-

very different things.—Morning Herald.
A new political star in the East appeared on Tues-
day, sufficient to puzzle and dazzle the faculties of
more than three wise men of modern times. A Con-
servative dinner was given at Winchester on that day
to Mr. East, the accepted of Winchester, and to Mr.
Escot, the rejected of the same place. The " ac-
cepted" and the rejected sat on each side of the chair-
man; and the scenic group which the three formed
was quite in character with the whole performance,
which, in classical language, might be designated as a
political trilogy. No person spoke of any account but the
three ; and the alternate effusions of Messrs. East and
Escot may vie with anything recorded of Tityrus and
IVlelibcaus by Virgil ; or of " Bozzy and Pozzy" by
Peter Pindar. They were, indeed—
" Arcades ambo,

Lord Glenelg, having been roused into animation
by Lord Brougham's " thunders," is resolved to show
that he is at length wide awake. Ere yet his ears had
ceased to tingle with the sharp and piercing tones of
his Noble and Learned Friend's castigatory eloquence,
he sat him down, and havingrubbed his forehead, dis-
encumbered for a time of its poppy-garland, indited a
sort of " letter of advice" to the Earl of Durham,
Autocrat of all the Canadas, an extract of which will
be found in another part of our paper ; and we arc
sure our readers will agree with us .on looking upon
this literary production of the Colonial Morpheus as a
curiosity in its way. Hereafter, when the philosophi-
cal historians of a future age shall ransack the deposi-
tories of public wisdom, to exhume from dust and ob-
livion the records of Whig intellect, to which England
owes such unexampled grandeur and prosperity in the
nineteenth century, this production of the Colonial
Minister will be dug, as a treasure- trove, out of its
place of repose, and estimated at a higher value, pro-
bably, than any other thing of the sort, with the ex-
ception of the protocols of Lord Palmerston. The au-
tocracy that exercises its sullen and desolating sway
over the ruins of Polish liberty is greatly admired by
Lord Durham—he went to St. Petersburgh to dis-
cover its virtues, and came back to sing its praises.
He is himself now, by the grace of Whig policy, an
autocrat " in little," and will have, like our northern
ally, to wield despotic power over a country defiled
with the smoke of burning towns, and red with the
blood of its inhabitants—the victims of rebellion,
which just, wise, and firm policy, would have pre-
vented. To Lord Durham, invested with these extra-
ordinary powers, the Colonial Secretary humbly sug-
gests that it might be proper for him to ascertain the
wishes and opinions of the people of both Upper and
Lower Canada, touching the questions which agitate
the latter province, and also those which create divisions
between that and the Upper province, in order to lay the
ground for the permanent settle ment of those questions.
Such is the professed object of Lord Glenelg's letter,
and the means to accomplish it will be found set forth
in the document which we publish. He tells Lord
Durham that it seems advisable, Vlie should think fit.
to call around him a certain number of persons selected
from each province, as may be presumed, from their
station, character, and influence, to represent the feelings
of their fellow-countrymen in general, with whom he
might take counsel on the most important affairs of
the two provinces. His Lordship calls this divan by
the not very familiar designation of a " Committee of
Advice." In fact, it is to be the Privy Council of
the Canadian potentate, but at what time he is to as-
semble it is to be left entirely to his discretion, as also
whether he may choose to assemble it at all or not.
The dictator is not to be dictated to, and so the
whole matter is optional. But supposing the
Governor-General, Vice-Admiral, Captain-General,
Adjuster-General, and Plenipotentiary-Extraordi-
nary adopts the recommendation of the Colo-
nial Secretary, and thinks proper to add a " Com-
mittee of Advice" to his own multiplied identity as
the great many in one ; he is empowered to consti-
tute such Committee by selecting three members from
the Legislative Council, along with ten members Sent
from the House of Assembly of Upper Canada, as the
contribution of "advice" from that province ; and
under the suspension of the Constitution of the
Lower Province, he is authorised to select three
members of the body at present composing
the Legislative Council, taking measures at thee
same time, for calling on the electors in each
of the five districts into which Lower Canada
is now divided, to elect two persons to sit in the Com-
mittee. Thus the Committee is to consist of twenty-
six persons, six from the Legislative Councils of
both Provinces, and, of course, not elected, but
chosen by the Executive power of each Province, and
twenty having en elective character. Of the body so
constituted, advice is to be taken upon the questions
i; debate between the Canadian Provinces, and in
order to " meet the just demands of tipper Canada,"
Lord Durham is in conjunction with the Committee,
to consider whether this cannot be best done by cre-
ating some joint legislative authority which is to pre-
side over all questions of common interest to both
Provinces, and to bt.! a tribunal of arbitration between
contending parties in either, with a reserve of its die.
tinct Legislature to each Province in ill hiatttl'S of an
exclusively domestieconcerni Lord Durham is, himself,
of his sovereign wilt, to consider and determine what
shall be the nature and limits of this novel authority, and
all the particulars which ought to be comprised in any
scheme for its establishments Thus his Lordship is
to take the advise of the Committee, but to follow his
own, ae so great a potentate ought to do. From his
conduct in his father-in-law's Cabinet formerly, we
may infer that his " Committee of Adeicc" must be
sufficiently deferential arid Obsequious if they would
expect the advettior-General, Vice-Admiral, Captain-
' Getiehtl, Adjuster-General, and Plenipotentiary-Ex-
traordinary, to listen to them at all, or not to exercise
pretty often his undoubted prerogative of " dissolving
the Committee at his pleasure," or rather at his dis-
„pleasure. It is also suggested that the Constitution of
1791 should furnish another subject for deliberation
" with a view to determine what measures may
be safely taken to correct the defects which have
hitherto interfered, at least in the Lower Pro-
vince, with its successful working." There is no
sensible and reflecting man in England who thinks
it necessary to ask the Canadian dictator, with his
wittenagemote, what has prevented the successful
working of the Canadian Act of Constitution of 1791,
while he has before his eyes that voluminous mass of
solemn foolery which is contained in the " concilia-
tion" correspondence of Lords Gosford and,,Glueeneeu,lg;
At any time two such sentinels of the Q
peace" would be quite enough to account for its vio-
lation. And mark I how the bloody tragedy which
has just been enacted, and on which the curtain has
not yet fallen, in Canada, is softened down into a de-
fective or unsuccessful working of the Constitutional
Act before mentioned ! Besides all this, measures
are to be taken for carrying into effect the resolution
of Parliament respecting the Legislative Council of
Lower Canada. Lord Durham and his Committee
are likewise to be charged with the provision that
should be made to meet the necessary expenses of the
civil Government in Lower Canada—the state of
the law affecting the tenure of landed property in
that province--the establishment of. a Court for the,

Pares cantare parati;"
and the prize might have been awarded to them by the
chairman in true Bucolic language :

" Et Vitula to dignus et hic."
In conformity with the laws of polite etiquette, it is to
the " accepted," not to the " rejected" candidate, that
we must, on this occasion, award the precedency of
our notice. Mr. East startled his hearers by the an-
nouncement of an extraordinary event, which nearly
takes away our breath while we describe it. He an-
nou►►ced to them " the disappearance of the whole
body of the Radicals." " They have," said he,
" ceased to exist." Belonging to this non-existent
party ourselves, we had an extraordinary ignorance of
the fact of our extinction. The recent large majority
of the country must have risen on some fine morning
during the late frost, and found, like the army of Sen-
nacherib, ‘.‘ that they were all dead men." Being de-
funct, according to this wise man of the East, our pen
ought, in common propriety, to fall from our hands.
We do not see clearly what title we have to write a
syllable more—howbeit, inspired by so animating a
theme as the Winchester festival, it may be considered
as a posthumoxs effort, " offensive to ears polite."
We will, however, like Gray's sleepy prophetess, when
evoked from the grave by Odin,

" Once again our lips unclose,"
in order to express our admiration of what followed.
The reader will imagine that the prize of political dis-
covery ought to be awarded to Mr. East. But we
have some doubts upon that head. It appears to us
that his rival, Mr. Escot, who chaunted " vicissitn"
on the other side of the chair, is either entitled to ex-
clusive possession or a fair participation of the price.
We leave the courteous reader to judge when we have
culled from his speech his view of the Utopia of an ad-
ministration. If correct, it will establish an entirely
new theory and practice in the science of political
economy. " What is wanted," says the honourable
rejected of Winchester, " is not a government of one
'" party to the exclusion of others" (viz., of us Tories,
who thirst for the milk and honey of the oficial pro-
mised land) ; hut a Government composed of men who
"have belonged to all parties." They are to "forget the
" past," says this new luminary of ,the political he-
misphere, which no doubt they will be very well in-
clined to do if they are permitted. But the titiestioti
is, whether the people will so readily forget them and
their misdeeds, as they may very naturally be prompted
to desire. However, setting this eitiota on one side
for such seers as the Winchester Conservatives to un-
riddle, we submit to the reader, whether Mr. Escot
has not
.put in a very fair claim for carrying away the
hell in the field of political discovery from his tiVal
Mr. East. We humbly submit that he has. What
a sublime beau ideal of Government has his fertile
imagination conceived I Let us for a moment reflect
on the " admired confusion" likely to be produced by
an Administration composed of men who have be-
longed to all parties—and who arc especially enjoined
and pledged to forget the past. Swift describes
Gulliver at the island of the Laputans, admiring the
mode which those " talented" philosophers had of pro-
ducing scientific publication. It appears that a given
quantity of words in type were all jumbled and con-
founded together, put into a box supplied with a han-
dle and wheel, and having had two or three turns of
the handle came out in a fit condition for printing
and publishing. Some doubts, says the veracious his-
torian,, might occur as to the quality of the quantity
of books thus produced; but he slily informs the
reader the Laputan books were as valuable in point
of order, meaning, consistency, and intelligence, as
the majority of the books produced at the present en-
lightened day. Mr. Escot's new theory of the best
possible of administrations, seems to be copied from
the above Laputan method of ameliorating the condi-
tion of society, and imparting acceleration to the
"march of mind."—Morning Advertiser.

THE PEERAGE.—During the present year, 1838,
the following Noblemen, who arc minors, will become of age,
and will be entitled to take their seats in the House of Lords,
via., Lord Audley, Lord Gifford, Lord Silchester, Lord Lyt-
tleton, and Lord Ward. In addition to these the following
Peers of Parliament are minors, viz. —The Marquis of Bath,
aged seven years; Earl Nelson, aged fifteen years; Earl of
Pomfret, aged fourteen years ; Earl of Darnley, aged eleven
years; Lord Granard, ,aged five years; Lord Dover, aged
thirteen years; Lord Ribblesdale, aged ten years ; and Lord
Ternpleman, aged seventeen years. The present number of
Peers of Parliament is 434, but as there arc thirteen minors it
follows that 421 only can at present exercise their high func-
tions in the House of Lords. One remarkable circumstance
attending the Peerage is that nearly all the eldest sons of
Whig Noblemen are Conservatives. We may mention,
among many others, the Earl of Darlington, heir to the Duke.
dom of Cleveland ; the Earl of Wilton, heir to the Marqui-
sate of Westminster; and the Marquis of Blandford, heir to
the Dukedom of Marlborough.
LAUGHING CAPABILITIES OF TILE LAWYERS.
—Counsel make a point of laughing, or at any rate attempting
to laugh, at anything which comes from the bench, which
either is, or is intended by its author to be, witty. They fancy
that by affecting to admire, if they do not in reality, the witty
sallies of the occupiers of the judicial seat, they thereby stand
a chance of ingratiating themselves with the bench ; a consum-
mation very devoutly to be wished, both on their own and their
client's account. I have never seen a unanimous effort made
by the counsel to manufacture a laugh, by way of visible pre-
tended admiration of the cleverness of " his Lordship," with.
out recalling to mind my own school-boy days, when all the
pupils vied with each other as to who should greet any witti-
cism, perpetrated by the pedagogue, with the best laugh, in
the hope of averting corporal punishment—which was at that
time quite in vogue in all the grammar schools. In most of
the Courts at Westminster-hall, but especially in the Court of
Chancery, it is a treat of no ordinarykind to see a simultaneous
effort made by the bar; to greet with a good laugh, any witti-
cism from the bench. Any one would at once come to the
conclusion that there was hardly a person among the number
who was used to the laughing mood. Anything more clum-
sily performed than some of the exhibitions made by counsel
in this way, it were impossible to conceive. Some of the phy-
siognomies of the learned gentlemen present on such occasions
an aspect indescribably odd. The mortal struggle between
their habitual gravity of expression, and the wish to impart to'
their faces a laughing appearance for the moment, has an irre-
sistibly droll effect on the spectator. I have frequently wished
on such occasions that Ho.'arth had been alive and present.
He would, I am convinced, in that case have produced a pic-
ture which would have thrown all the other productions of his
pencil into the shade.—The Bench and the Bar, by the Author
of " Random Recollections."
