A CONSTITUTION ACCORDING TO

METAPHOR.

(From the Examiner.)
" Representation, not nomination," said Lord
Grey, "is the principle of the Reform Bill." This
principle so joyfully accepted by the nation has, we
suppose, been found too simple and intelligible for
the purposes of his Lordship's colleagues in the
Lower House; for they prefer defending the mea-
sure according to metaphor.
It is settled by both sides of the House, that the
people are of two sorts, which may be likened to
racers and asses--those that are disposed to go too
fast, arid those that are disinclined to move. The
rate of speed is in proportion to the density of the
population ; and it is assumed, that such folks as
those of Leeds, Manchester, and Birmingham, are
invariably prone t• run away, while those which are
of smaller numbers, move more gently. All
the dispositions of men aic thus supposed to
depend on their packing. \Vhere they may be
counted in hundreds of thousands, they would tear
away and disorder; where they congregate by twos
and threes, as at Gatton and Sarum, they are im-
moveable to improvement. These premises being
agreed upon by both Ministers and their opponents,
nothing more is necessary than to suppose the State
a vehicle to be drawn by such steeds, anti at a mo-
derate pace ; and the whole question is debated,
and may be settled according to metaphor. Nomi-
nation or representation is now lost sight of; the
question is too fast or too slow. Sir Robert Peel
apprehends that the representatives under the pro-
posed system, will be men of tremendously active
talent, and stimulate proceedings too precipitately.
It is well, he says, to advance; but they may go too
fast, in order to please their impetuous constitu-
encies. In this case, he asks, how elderly gentle-
men, who like to ride slowly, will be suited with
seats ? and he points to Mr. Sturges Bourne, and
puts it to Ministers whether such a stead)-going
gentleman would attempt to mount the high horses
of Manchester, Birmingham, Marylebone, or Fins-
bury ? To provide a supply of mules for such
gaffers, Sir Robert modestly proposes that the
places in schedule B shall continue to seat their two
Members each, those places having populations
which, from their moderate amounts, do not move
too fast.

Lord John Russell, acknowledging the force of
this too fast and too slow argument, takes credit to
Government as,
To populous places, they had not deemed it fit to give
that share in the representation to which they would be
numerically entitled, because it was considered that a pre-
ponderance of newly popular representatives in that House
might have the effect of making the machine of State move
with too great velocity. For this reason, too, they had
retained a number of small boroughs.
We thus see clearly enough that the plan is to
couple the racers with the asses and mules, lest they
should move the State machine with too great ve-
locity. One consideration only has been omitted
in this philosophical view of the question, and that
is the road or object upon which the machine is
advancing. We know very accurately at what a
rate the asses and mules rattled us down hill into
the slough of debt, and the speed then was a mis-
chief ; but if our present business is to escape from
thraldom, who will object to the celerity of the

movements. When people are flying from bondage,
or the robber, they don't cry " why so fast ?" and,
" for the love of prudence, take out that free-going
blood, and harness a jack-ass for the safer travelling."
Most luminously Lord John Russell proceeded
to say,
They had stopped short in the career of disfranchise-
ment. They had left a number of small boroughs in
schedule B, which would send Members to Parliament
that would represent certain portions of the people which
ought to be represented, and be most desirable acquisitions
in a deliberative assembly.

We know of no portions of the people which
ought not to be represented (nor should Lord John,
according to the Grey principle of representation
not nomination) ; but we cannot perceive for what
reason the Members of these particular places should
be pronounced most desirable acquisitions in a deli-
berative assembly, except, indeed, as they are of the
sort which does not move fast, the convenience of
which, in a deliberative assembly is, at this instant,
so strikingly felt by the people. None but Mem-
bers of places of such small constituencies would
move adjournments for the delay of public business,
it is thus that their propensities against good speed
are illustrated.

Lord John Russell thinks that the small places of
300 electors will send slow Members to the House,
who will be most useful for deliberation, and not
nominees. We are convinced that without the bal-
lot, these places of low constituencies will soon be
so managed as to allow of nominations ; and we
saw, with great satisfaction, that several Members
objected that the disfranchisement was not suffi-
ciently extensive.

As for the alleged deliberative parts of the re-
presentatives of small constituencies, will Lnrd John
Russell tell us when they appeared on the occasion
of the imposition of any grievous burthen on the
people, or of encroachment on their rights. Were
the Members of small boroughs forward in the stand
against the Six Acts, hurried, with such devilish
speed, through Parliament ? Or did they signalize
themselves by resisting the rapid accumulation of
debt, and the profligate waste of the public money
in sinecures and pensions for tools of tyranny,
Court parasites, sycophants, and harlots ?
Lord John Russell resisted the motion for con-
tinuing two Members to places in schedule B, as
fatal to the principle of the Bill, but he vitiated his
argument with very bad reasons. This, however,
is a fault common to our Ministers, who assign the
weakest reason for the wisest course. They thus
appear, as if either their hearts or their heads were
not with the measure. They seem as men, ten
thousand times more anxious to please their enemies
than to satisfy their friends. What a luxury to
them must have been their own opposition to their
own proposition of the disfranchisement of Saltash.
How they must have rejoiced in the temporary d-
fiance, and the gratification of Croker ! How they
must have delighted in seeing the best friends of the
people opposed to themselves ! The pleasure of
this yielding to the enemy must have been great in-
deed, as its principle and policy were obviously so
vicious, or never would men have been tempted to it.
To avoid infraction on the Bill (especially in its
vitals), and preserve a habit of unanimity in the
support of it, seemed the part of manhood and wis-
dom : but Ministers have acted as if they had a
superabundant perfection in their measure, and a
troublesomely complete union in their camp—aye,
and some hold on public opinion and support to
spare. It doubtless was agreeable to them to see
their best supporters arrayed against them as
enemies, and to make those Members who continued
with them feel that they could depart from their
pledges to the people, and keep their countenances
and seats. Indeed, we suspect that Saltash was
given up as much to show contempt of popular
pledges, as in the hope of smothering the Opposi-
tion by a surrender the more acceptable as it degraded
its authors. One good effect it has had, namely
that we learn, from the list of the minority, who are
the 150 staunchest Reformers in the House. There
is a proverb of giving inches to those who would
take ells, which Ministers might usefully heed : but
proverbs are the wisdom of nations, which the high
and mighty hold in contempt.
' It is not pleasant to censure men who have
entered upon a grand service to society with great
courage : but, great as was the courage, and excel-
lent as was the spirit, at the commencement of the
enterprise, both have been provokingly oozing as '
advance has been made, and exactly in proportion
as real difficulties have been removed by the popular
aid. Before the dissolution Ministers were intrepid
and uncompromising; since the general election has
smoothed their course, they have shown timidity,
and an abject disposition to court and propitiate
enemies—only to be conciliated by the betrayal of
the people and the basest dishonour. It is time
now to speak out. Ministers must change their
tone and temporising course, or they will be de-
feated—and if defeated, we shall believe them
treacherous, and willingly defeated; in either case,
whether weak or false, they will heavily have to
answer for the convulsion that will surely ensue. If
they do not use the briskest means to remove the
obstructions of Members whose virtue it is to move
slow—if they do not, by word and deed, show an
earnest and determined spirit—the people may,
perchance, take the modelling of a new represen-
tative system into their own hands. There are
unions all over the country which are ripe for throw-
ing out delegates, and resolving into a national
council.

While the patience of the country is so fretted,
are we to listen to the preaching of Sir Robert
Peel, who, adopting a conspicuous and noted ab-
surdity in Sir James Mackintosh's ungrammatical
slip-slop, quackish History of England, tells us
that Constitutions have no other growth than that
of vegetables ; that they must " come by nature ;"
and that no wit or wisdom of man can create them
for their u3es. If an example were wanting to
disprove such idiotic gabble, we have it in the in•
stance of the United States, which modelled a
Constitution in less time than, according to appear-
ances, it will take the Grey Government to puss a
Reform Bill. This doctrine of the vegetable nature
of a Constitution admirably suits the " not-too-fast"
principle, and allows of all the metaphors and similes
touching the beneficial effects of manuring the soil
with corrupt and rotten matter, so apt for the de-
fence of the boroughmongery. As Sir James
Mackintosh has thus been quoted for delusion, we
will quote him for instruction peculiarly fitted for
the present juncture, and from a book not written
in his old age of Whiggery, but one composed when
good men had good hopes of him—it is.on moderate
Reforms, and contradicts the vegetation theory :
Power vegetates with more vigour after these gentle
prunings. A slender Reform amuses and lulls the people;
the popular enthusiasm subsides, and the moment of effec-
tual Reform is irretrievably lost. No important political
improvement was ever obtained in a period of tranquillity.
The corrupt interest of the governors is so strong, and the
cry of the people so feeble, that it were vain to expect it.
If the effervescence of the popular mind is suffered to pass
away without effect it would be absurd to expect from
langnor what enthusiasm has not obtained. If radical
Reform is not, at such a moment, procured, all partial
changes are evaded and defeated in the tranquillity which
succeeds. . . . Whatever excellence, whatever free-
dom is discoverable in Governments, has been infused
into them by the shock of a revolution ; and their subse-
quent progress has been only the accumulation of abuse.
. Whatever is good ought to be pur,tied at the
moment it is attainable. The public voice, irresistible in
a period of convulsion, is contemned with impunity, When
dictated by the lethargy into which nations are lulled by
the tranquil course of their ordinary affairs. The ardour
of Reform languishes in unsupported tediousness. It
perishes in an impotent struggle with adversaries, who
receive new strength from the progress of the day. No
hope of great political improvement (let us repeat it) is to
be entertained from tranquillity ; for its natural operation
is to strengthen all those who are interested in perpetual_
ing abuse."—" The only apparent
i exception to this prin-
ciple (adds the author in a note) s the case where sove-
reigns make important concessions to appease discontent
and avert convulsion. This, however, rightly understood
is no exception ; for it arises evidently from the same
causes, acting at a period less advanced in the progress of
popular interposition."— Vinclicirc
Having mentioned Sir Robert Peel, we cannot

quit him without remarking how wonderfully his
tone is altered respecting public opinion. The
time was when he declared that deference to public
opinion was the rule of his Goverment. Now he
says

" All his reading and experience convinced him that
nothing was more dangerous than the abandonment of
fixed principles, and the disregard of local attachments.
He was much afraid that some of the new representatives
would be too anxious to recommend themselves to their
constituents ; and that, instead of attending to the argu-
ments of reason, popular opinion, he would not say popu-
lar clamour, would have too much weight with them."
Sir Robert Peel has more experience than most
men of the effect of abandoning principles ; and he
knows that the character of the conduct depends on
the character of the principles, which may be good
or may be bad. But, waving that inquiry, it is for
Sir Robert to explain why he allowed so much
weight to popular opinion when a Minister, and
why he supposes it so dangerous now that he is a
leader of faction—why it was so commanding when
equivocally expressed on Catholic Emancipation,
why so worthless when unequivocally declared for
Parliamentary Reform ? The truth is, that he who
is at the helm soon discovers that he must him his
sails according to the wind. Power in a civilised
country brings with it a lesson of respect for the
governed, and a practical sense of the value of op-
posing forces.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MAR YLEB ONE.

Yesterday Mr. James Smith, a full-blown li-
censed victualler, residing in the neighbourhood of
Grosvenor-square, was brought before Mr. RAW-
LINSON, to show cause why he coursed a dog through
a field of wheat belonging to Mr. Kayley, a farmer,
residing at Hendon.
Mr. Kayley stated, that on Sunday last he saw
the prisoner and another gentleman coursing four
dogs through his wheat•field He had been fre-
quently annoyed by nuisances of a similar kind, and
followed them into the New-road, where he gave
Mr. Smith into custody. The other gentleman
made his escape, and was certainly followed by three
dogs; but a fourth, which had been in the wheat,
stuck by the licensed victualler.
_ _

Mr. itAwLissoN called upon the prisoner for his
defence, who denied the statement in lobo, and as-
serted that the gentleman who accompanied him into
the New-road was an utter stranger to him, and that
it was his dogs who coursed in the wheat-field.

Mr. RAWLINSON considered it a most extraordi-
nary sort of Cockney sport; John Gilpin himself
would be aahamed of such amusement. He or-
dered the parties to retire and try if they could not
arrange the matter.

They retired, when Mr. Smith paid the com-
plainant 41. for the damage, and was discharged.
111 r. Bell, a horse-doctor and farrier, appeared to
show cause why he indented a most ungentlemanly
blow upon the dexter cheek of Mr. Cooper, by pro-
fession a chimney-sweep.
Mr. Cooper stated that Mr. Bell resided at the
opposite house in the Mews, and deposited sund y
cart-loads of dung directly opposite his door, to the
serious annoyance of his own olfactory nerves, as
well as those of his more delicate half. He took a
broom and swept the dung over to Mr. Bell's; hot
that gentleman swept it back again. The flue asp:-
rant swept a second time, and so did the horse-
doctor; they swept and swept, until, at length, the
horse-doctor got tired; and, to end the matter, pro-
ceeded from sweeping to commit a breach of the
peace, and assaulted the chimney-sweep.
" Please your Honour and Worship," began the
horse-doctor with an action and emphasis which
would have done credit to an Irish Court of Com-
mon Pleas, " Please your Honour and Worship,
I'm only sorry I'm engaged in so black a concern.
I admit Mr. Cooper was the best sweeper, but that's
his profession, and I hope you will draw a brie be-
tween him and a gentleman wot keeps a livery."
" The only line, I think," said Mr. RAWLINSON,
"that ought to be drawn, is the gutter that divides
your houses, and you shall enter into your recogni-
zances to keep the peace."
" That's all I want," exclaimed the sweep; and
the recognizances were entered into accordingly.

MARLBORO UGII-S TREE T.
Yesterday Caroline Mansell, a smartly-dressed
young woman, was brought before Mr. ROE by Mac-
kenzie, a police constable, who stated that on the
preceding night he observed her in Castle-stree',
Leicester-square, under the influence of intoxication,
and behaving in a riotous and disorderly manner.
He cautioned her to move on, and even assisted her
along, hut she became so violent, and abused him
so grossly, that he was at last obliged to convey her
to the police station. The constable added that he
believed her to be a common prostitute. The un-
fortunate creature in her defence related an extraor-
dinary story of diablcrie, which she said she had
witnessed on the previous night, and which she so-
lemnly averred had so dreadfully alarmed her, that
she had been nearly frightened out of her senses.
She stated that she was walking along Coventry-street
in the early part of the evening, when three gentle-
men came up and persuaded her to accompany them
to a house at the east end of the town, somewhere,
she believed in the neighbourhood of Shadwell.
They conducted her to a dark and very gloomy
apartment, where one of the party exhibited a
drawn sword, and threatened to murder her forth-
with, unless she consented to take off her clothes.
Under the influence of fear, for she was terror-struck
at the whole proceeding, she complied, and she was
then put into a coffin, and covered with a shroud.
After remaining in the coffin for some time she was
suffered to rise, and a scene more terrifying than the
preceding followed ; for she beheld numbers of
figures made to represent imps, demons, arid other
inmates of the infernal regions, who, she said, were
thrust into a blazing fire by the party, who intro-
duced pitchforks on the occasion. At length they
permitted her to depart, and she reached the west
end of the town by midnight.

Mr. ROE said she was known at the office, having
been there before on similar charges. He should,
however, take care that she should not undergo
another fright of the kind for the ensuing three weeks.
The wretched girl supplicated the Magistrate not
to send her to prison. She protested that her state-
ment was perfectly correct, and she thought she
could point out the house whither she had been so
mysteriously conveyed.
The Magistrate ultimately thitigated her punish-
ment to 15 days' confinement in Coldbath-fields.
The prisoner, it appeared, rel tted the same story
she told the Magistrate to the police constable, o►►
her apprehension.

ANOTHER ACCIDENT ON THE THAMES,
OCCASIONED BY A STEAM BOAT.—FIVE PERSONS
DROWNED,. ..-011 Sunday CHARLES EDGAR, a young man
about twenty years of age, an apprentice on board the
East India Company's boys, having previously engaged a
party of his 'friends to join him in an excursion up the
river, fitted up a small sailing boat belonging to the hoy
for that purpose. The party, which consisted of EDGAR,
his sister, his sweetheart, to whom he was to have been
married in a few weeks, a man named SINNOCK, and hie
three children, together with two female friends, proceeded
as far as Woolwich, where they spent the day, and shortly
after five o'clock they started from there fur tiswn. They
had not been long on the river when they were overtaken
by one of the Gravesend steam boats, which being heavily
laden with passengers, and being proceeding at rather
a rapid rate, caused a great swell and surf in the river.
The boat got quite clear of her, but' the concussion of the
water caused her to rock violently about. EDGAR, With
a view of steadying her, was about to place his foot on her
gunwale, when it unfortunately slipped off, and then, in
order to save himself from falling overboard, caught hold
of the sail, and the sudden haul, together with the surf in-
clining her in the same direction, caused her to swamp,
and all on beard were precipitated into the water, and,
melancholy to add, five of them were drowned. The per-
sons lost were EDGAR and his sweetheart, and SINNOCK
and his two eldest children, the one a lad of ten, and the
other a girl of eight years of age. Up to a late hour yes-
terday, only one of the bodies, that of a female, was found.

APPREHENSION 01: A FEMALE
YAM .OR ARSON AND ROBBERY•

On Monday week last, about nine o'clock ill
evening, a barn, belonging to Mr. Daniel, an el
sive farmer at West Bergholr, was discovered te
on fire. Assistance was promptly rendered, and
flames were extinguished without much damage,
ing occurred. The next day, about two o'clee
the afternoon, another fire was discovered in a!,
tensive out-building, containing a large guano')
agricultural produce. The flames spread with`
rapidity that it was found necessary to abandolf
attemrs to save the out-buildings, and several
stacks which were in the farm-yard. The f'
house was with difficulty preserved, and the fire
at length got under, after the loss of much vale'
property. No doubt was now entertained tha(
as also the first fire, was the work of some 1!)`,
diaty, and consequently rewards were immcdie
offered for the detection of the perpetrator.
From inquiries made by the local constables 1j
were induced to apprehend the servant girl, To',
Msry Blomfield, and a special meeting of the ifs
trates was convened for the purpose of taking
examination. •i

The constables, in searching the prisoner's
found, in an old pocket, a master key, which
Daniel immediately recognized as one which she
lost some months ago. Pursuing this clue, tl
went to the cottage of a man of the 'tattle!
Peachey, with whose daughters the prisoner wel
timate, and there a quantity of property was fouri,
which was directly identified by Mr. and Mrs.l
niel. In consequence of this discovery toe
Pcachey's daughters were taken into custodYt
the Magistrates thought it most advisable to take'
charge of arson against the girl first. On Satur!,
she was accordingly brought to Colchester Cd
for examination. The evidence against her was'
course, circumstantial, but very wrong. -A .)
who was her fellow-servant, said, that on the nta
of the first fire, about ten minutes before it 1/°
out, the girl went into the yard, as site said, fotc
purpose of drawing water. He heard the
running over, and in consequence he was induce'
look our, when he perceived the girl crossing
yard in a direction from the barn, with a 'tottery,
her hand, which was not lighted. She went:
again into the garden, to execute some direction 11:
her mistress, and when she came in she aPPes'
rather excited.

The the broke out about five minutes aftero
Another witness swore that on the next
when the second fire occurred, he saw the girl ie
direction of the lodge where it was first diseovet
The prisoner, who is rather well looking, hi
the evidence against her without exhibiting
slightest trace of feeling, and at first denied
knowledge of the fire. She, however, at last
she knew of the second fire, for she saw the
who had given evidence against her take a hie
candle and thrust it into the thatch.

The Magistrates here stopped her, and a'
her to leave her confession for her defence.

The charge of felony was then gone into,
against tile girl and the other females in cuit4
Some very strong particulars were developed'
owing to the absence of some material prod,
Magistrates decided upon remanding the prig°
till to-morrow.
