LONDON :
THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 27, 1638.

The speech of Mr. WHITTLE HARVEY to his Con-
stituents, in the extensive parish of St. George, South-
wark, on Monday last, will be found in our columns this
day, and cannot fail, as it ought to do, to receive the at-
tention of all considerate Reformers. It is truly charac-
teristic of the speaker in mind and matter. There is
a boldness in it, which shuns all unworthy expedients,
at the same time there is obviously a desire to con-
ciliate, and to bring public men of similar views,
into harmonious combination. It has long been
manifest that, unless an onward system of rational
Reform, at once comprehensive and decisive, be intel-
ligibly laid down, and vigorously pursued, the progress
of national regeneration will be woefully impeded, and
men in whom we have hitherto confided will be com-
pelled to give way to men of more daring, not to
say of more hazardous designs. It is not to be
denied that the Liberal party in Parliament has
lost much ground in the public mind by their tem-
porizing course during the last Session, which is the
more to be regretted, it being obvious, as is well put
in Mr. HARVEY'S speech, they had the power to have
dictated to the Government a far different line of ac-
tion. This step appears to have been strenuously
urged upon their attention by the Honourable 'Vern-
er for Southwark ; but unfortunately, as we think,
without effect. Experience may vet direct them, as
well as Ministers, to a wiser system of action, nor do
we despair of the attempt being made, and the earlier
the better.

The explanation given by Mr. HARVEY of the
terms upon which he has accepted an onerous office,
gave, as it deserved, the most unqualified satisfac-
tion to his constituents, and it reflects the highest
credit upon his long course of political con-
sistency. We profess not to know the precise
bearing of the law, but we should deeply re-
gret, should its construction, either deprive the
country of Mr. HA R vEY's active and independent
services in Parliament, or himself of the fair reward of
useful labours, to say nothing of past and serious
sacrifices. Those who read the speech of the Hon.
Member for Southwark with attention, will find in it
those strokes of sarcasm, and straightforward thrusts,
occasionally perhaps too hard, which offer the best
refutation of the charge that there is a tendency on his
part to relax in that bold tone of political stricture,
for which, of all public men, he is the most remark-
able. There are other points in this speech, as well
as some comments upon it by our Contemporaries,
which may lead us to revert to it.

In another part of our Paper will be found an ab-
stract of the Lecture on the Corn Laws, given
on
Tuesday night at the Mechanics' Institution,
in South-
ampton-buildings, by Colonel THOMPSON. The
theatre of the Institution was filled at an early hour ;
and the Lecture, which occupied an hour and a half,
was received throughout with warks of general in-
terest. There can be little doubt that the interest on
the question throughout the country will increase, as
the accounts from the Continent agree m showing that
the Baltic ports are swept out, and Great Britain will
be left to abide the consequences of her unwise and
partial legislation.

The Universal Universal Suffrage men made another " De-
monstration" on Tuesday last at Liverpool, but it was
a demonstration, less of their strength, than their weak-
ness. At no one time during the dav:, does there ap-
pear to have been more than three thousand indivi-
duals present, a circumstance which greatly depressed
that flaming democrat FEARGUS O'CoNNoR, who
alluded to it more than once in one of the weakest and
most inconsistent speeches that even he ever delivered.
