in perfect conformity with the strict orders of the House,'
moved " That the Peers do take their places." Un-
fortunately for the dignity of the Peers, the Duke of
Richmond was unsuccessful -; and disorder, irregularity.,
and indecency ruled the day. The last and finishing stroke.
of this disgraceful scene, on the part of the borough
mongering Peers. was evinced by three cheers of defiance
to the King as he mounted the throne ; for in no other
could any one who heard the tone and
,tions which accompanied those cheers,
ssaaelinietli:e'ieligsaTeresettiotenullialin which they were pointed, understand
them. Some common-place Aserration in the middle of
Lord Mansfield's speech was the pretemc!; but the animus
of those cheers from the boroughmongers was insult to the
King for the honesty of the step he was taking. It is
with no small grief that we record this exposure ; but its
result will not diminish the deep conviction which is
abroad of the the necessity of Reform. As to the mea•
sure itself of dissolution, there cannot he two opinions
among those who are agreed upon the broad principle
which is at stake.

DISSOLUTION CF PARLIAMENT.-Before our present
number meets their eye, our readers will have yarned
from rumour that his Majesty has exerted the power con-
stitutionally, and for the wisest ends, placed in his hand,,
by dissolving the late Parliament, after it had been in
existence for the space of little mote titan eight months.
His Majesty has, by this decisive course, proved the false-
hood of those assertions by which the opponents of the just
and necessary measure of Reform have endeavotued to
poison the public ear, in representing that our gracious
Sovereign was at issue with It's Ministers on this im-
portant question. He has also proved that, on this mo-
mentous subject, his feelings are in sympathy with those
of his people, and that he is as firmly convinced as any
one of his subjects can be, of the imperative necessity of
putting a period to the long course of corruption anti chi-
canery, by which the representation of the people in Par-
liament has been diverted from its proper channel, and
usurped for selfish purr sea, by a set of men who never
have, and never could, enjoy the confidence of the mass of
the people of Great Britain !

Long live our gracious—God Ides our noble King—
these, and expressions similar to these, quiver on the
and thrill even to ecstacy the hearts of the universal Eng-
lish, Srotch, and Irish people. Verily Willism the Fourth
has covered himself with glory, and deservedly popular as
he was before, will henceforth be inure unboundedly po-
pul sr titan ever. The King and his Ministers are worthy
of each other, and both have displayed, without a single
particle of vaunting, a firmness, a constancy, and an in-
flexibility of purpose, worthy of natures of a higher order.
We always hoped that the Calends of March would prove
as fatal to the boroughmongers as to Julius Caesar; and it
has been even so. The struggle which commenced seven
weeks ago is approaching rapidly to a successful termina-
tion, and we have no doubt whatever that the events of
1831 will shine in the same honest page that records the
mighty triumph of right over might, in the year 1688.
