mitigated, what says common sense ? Are we justified in
losing- a single moment now ? Ooght the Queen's Minis-
ters to leave Sir J. Colborne for 24 hours without authority
as ample as the Crown of England can confer for over-
taking the evils which have passed on untouched by Lord
Durham ? If Parliament last year was called into action
for the purpose, we must presume, that Ministers at least,
whatever others may have thought (and ourselves among
them), must have deemed such legislative interposition un-
avoidable, we ask, therefore, upon their own showing, and on
their own declared principles, of last year's growth, why
is Parliament left idle nowt What pretence have they,
the Ministers, for shifting their course of policy then adopted
to one diametrically opposite, and in the face of accumu-
lated exigencies ? If the Queen's advisers do not summon
Parliament to meet instanter, in November, 1838, for
objects which in January, 1838, were represented by
them to be of the most imminent and alarming urgency,
but which are even yet undisposed of, what will or can be
said of the noise and fuss in which they then involved the
country, but that they found it expedient for themselves at
that time to get up a farce,:with scenery and machinery, as
a pretext for sending Lord Durham across the Atlantic ;
but that no such fabrication being now practicable, and
Lord Durham having played his part so foolishly as to de-
prive himself of all power of stinging for the future, they
are content to let things take their natural course ; and Sir
J. Colborne, with his calm temper, his iron nerve, and ex-
perienced judgment, to maintain the Queen's laws, by the
Queen's troops and loyal subjects, and to reclaim rebels
by means more effective than the impotent pedantry of a
six weeks' excursion to the island of Bermuda and back
again ! Either the Ministers are imbecile blockheads now,
or last February, March, and April they were consummate
impostors.—Times.

The weekly journal which has taken upon itself to deny
that Lord Melbourne did not recommend Mr. Turton to
Lord Durham as his legal adviser, does not venture to make
that denial upow the authority of either one or the other of
the principal parties concerned. Besides, it might be
true that Lord Melbourne did not recommend Mr, Turton
as legal adviser, and yet if he recommended him to fill
any other capacity under Lord Durham's Government, the
charge urged by the Montreal Heald, against her Ma-
jesty's Prime Minister will be established by proof of that
fact—so miserable a quibble cannot save him But we
neither prejudge that charge, nor the other advanced by the
Oxford Herald, that Lord Melbourne had written to ap•
prove of all Lord Durham's acts, even the transportation
of the prisoners to the Bermudas. We wait for the only
satisfactory evidence that can be given, and which, if con-
tained in Lord Durham's " trunk," might easily account for
the terror which it inspired in Downing-street and Windsor
Castle.—Morning Herald.

THE MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.

The Tories are peculiarly anxious to impress upon the public
mind most erroneous notions as to the estimation in which
Toryism is held by the people of this country. If a paltry
crain upon the registration of one constituency can be named,
"the Tory Press proclaims it to the world as a triumph of im-
mense importance, and, by the aid of those inventive and
magnifying powers so peculiarly Tory, units become thou-
sands, mole-hills are transformed into mountains. The Times
and Standard print lists of numbers manufactured for their
express consumption, and for the appetites of their Tory
readers, day by day ; and at the end of the month out comes
a manifesto of Tory success, in which are comprised all the
lying accounts copied from the aforesaid veracious Journals ;
and this manifesto, thus concocted, and derived from their own
columns, is again put forth by them, under the authority of
Fraser. • . .•

_ .
We settled the question of Tory gain upon the registration
of the Parliamentary constituency, as put forth by Fraser
some days back, and proved that, so far from a gain, the Tories
have had the worst of the registration of this year. And for
the still further elucidation of the important question, whether
Toryism is gaining or losing in public esteem, we now present
a return, as complete as we can procure it, of the municipal
elections throughout England and Wales. These, let it be
remembered, are elections, not registrations ; they are public
declarations of sentiment, not calculations upon probable
opinions ; they are, moreover, the declarations of more nume-
rous bodies than the Parliamentary electors, and comprise that
class which the Tories have, for the last few years, been so
anxious to win over to them—the operatives of Great Britain.
And yet upon this extended basis of public opinion the Tories
have most signally failed ; they have been left in a minority,
and the Liberal party has achieved an important victory.
There are, in England and Wales, 136 parliamentary
boroughs, which are included is the Municipal Reform Act of
1835. A certain number of the Councillors for these
boroughs are chosen on the Ist of November in each year, and
the state of public opinion in those towns may thus be pretty
correctly ascertained. The following list will show the num-
ber to be chosen in each town, with the number of each party
actually elected; and by the column of Parliamentary repre-
sentation annexed to each the probable effect may be pre-
sumed:—

Lyme Regis
We have thus 55 Parliamentary •
boroughs in which the
Tories have been defeated at the municipal elections. The total
number of councillors to be elected in these boroughs was
395 ; of whom 341 Reformers have been chosen and 54 Tories.
In the following boroughs the numbers of each party re
turned were equal:—
Parliament. Rep.
Tory. Lib.
Beverley
Bewdley 0 ... 1
Dover 1 .. 1

Out of these two lists of contested boroughs 27 are repre-
sented entirely by Liberals, 16 by Tories, and 24 are equally
divided; and it is worthy of remark that the gain to the Libe-
rals has been the greatest in those places in which the Tories
could least afford to lose strength.
There are a large number of the municipal boroughs in
which no contest took place, and in which the retiring Mem.
bers were quietly re-elected ; it is scarcely fair to instance
these as gains to the Liberal party, and yet we could add
many to our list if we were to enumerate them. It is suffi-
cient to know that upon the contests of this year's municipal
elections a decided advantage has been gained over the Tories,
and the few places, comparatively, in which the Tories have
succeeded form an insignificant minority. Bristol and Leeds
are the only two places of importance in which the Tories were
successful ; in Bristol, by preventing the revision
of the burgess roll, they gained a majority of one,
for ten Tory Councillors came out, and eleven went in; and
in Leeds they gained a majority of four; but in neither Place
is the composition of the Council changed, and therefore the
results are not important, whilst the Tories well kno .v that,
if the Bristol burgess roll had been revised, scarcely a Tory
could have crept into this year's return.
If we were to extend our list into boroughs Municipal, but
not Parliamentary, the same results are apparent, and the
dislike to Toryism equally evident. There are, indeed, few of
the latter class in which the Tories have been able to show at
all, and their loss upon the total returns is equally great with
that upon the Parliamentary boroughs. Well may the Times
and Standard warn the Tories not to be eager after office ;
the state of the registrations, and the results of the Municipal
elections, holdout small hopes for the longing Tories. They
must wait on ; their boastings are vain, and equally vain are
all their efforts ; and if the Liberal party do not play the
game for their opponents, there is not the smallest chance for
the Tories, either with the Parliamentary or Municipal con-
stituencies.

The site of Deal Pier is now determined on—being
where it was originally designed to be built, i. e., between the
Royal Hotel and Adelaide Baths.

One of the most distinguished poets of the day, as
the Presse relates, was dining a few days ago at a restaurant
on the Boulevards, and called for a bottle of Bordeaux, pre-
miere qualite. The waiter, struck by the broad Marseillaise
accent of the guest, and observing the threadbare condition of
his coat, considered it necessary to remind him that this wine
was marked in the carte at 10 francs a bottle.

a very hot day the people became very thirsty, but not thirsty
enough to buy fifteen gallons of liquor. So a Yankee
erected a booth, and exhibited a written sign to signify that
" a striped pig was to be seen within for 6d." Crowds flocked

LAW IN TELLIGENCE.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COUR7', Nor. 10.
BERNARD V. COMMERCIAL.ROAD RAILWAY COMPANY.

Mr. K. BRUCE moved exparte for an injunction to restrain
the Company from pulling down buildings or making excava-
tions upon the plaintiff's premises in Rosemary-lane, Minorios.
A Jury had assessed the value of the premises, hut the convey-
ance was delayed in consequence of some difficulties in the
title. Their Act enabled the Company, if they required im-
mediate possession, to pay the purchase-money into Court, and,
upon payment, to take possession. But the Company in this
instance had thought proper to take possession without preli-
minary payment, and they were about to commence their ope-
rations, which would, of course, destroy the plaintiff's property.
The injunction was granted.

COURT OF QUEENS BENCH, Nov. 10.
THE QUEEN V. J. ATKINSON.

Mr. STARKIE showed cause against a rule for a quo war-
ranto calling on the defendant to show by what authority he
claimed to exercise the office 9f High Constable of a hundred
of one of the Ridings of York. The defendant pleaded
that he had been duly elected, and had been duly sworn in.
A replication was put in denying the validity of the election,
and on the issue thus raised the question now came before
the Court. The question really to be decided was, whether
an election and appointment by the Justices in Petty Session
could confer the right to the office of High Constable, or
whether what was done at a Petty Sessions was more than a
mere nomination, subject to the approval or rejection of the
Justices at Quarter Sessions. He (Mr. Starkie) meant to
contend that the Justices at Petty Sessions might make the
appointment, and that what they did was not tti-he taken as a
mere nomination.

Mr. STUART WORTLEY, in support of the rule for the quo
warranto, said that the chief point on which he should contend
that the rule must be made absolute was, that the power of the
Sheriff's tourn had devolved, not on the Justices at Petty Ses-
sions, but on the Justices at large. It was, therefore, only
when assembled in a body that the acts which were formerly
done at the Sheriff's tourn could be done by the Justices.
The reply could not be heard, as the Judges of this Court
were obliged to meet their brethren in the Court of Exche-
quer Chamber on Crown cases reserved.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nor. 10.
NEWTON AND WIFE V. HARLAND.

It will be remembered that in this case, which was an ac-
tion of trespaas and assault, to which a justification was pleaded,
the Court, in the course of the present Term, had refused a
rule to show cause why the verdict should not be entered for
the plaintiff with the contingent damages of 1001., which had
been assessed by the Jury at the trial, on the ground that those
contingent damages bad been assessed without the consent of
both parties ; and, therefore, in law could not stand. The
Court, however, had granted a rule for a new trial.
Mr. NEWTON now applied to the Court to discharge that rule,
on the ground that at the trial the dissent of the opposite
party had not been expressed until after the case had been
left to the Jury.
The COURT had communicated with Mr. Baron Alderson,
who tried the cause, on the subject, and he informed them that
that dissent was expressed before the case was left to the Jury.
Mr. NEWTON at the same time dissented very much from
that direction to the Jury to assess contingent damages ; but
when he expressed his dissent Mr. Baron Alderson threatened
to commit him instantly to York gaol if he were not silent,
and accordingly he left the Court.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—Then you both dissented, and
now that assessment of 1001. is void.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW- STREET.

On Saturday a shabbily dressed youth, who gave his name
George Charytelupe, but who is also known by the alias
names of Clayton, Coleman, and Connor, was placed at the
bar before Mr. MiNsnuLL, charged with having absconded
from his master, carrying with him a cash-box, containing
161. in notes and gold, and a great coat.
The prisoner offered no defence, and was ordered to be
committed conditionally, upon the production of a witness
named Turner.
