ti.e nation, and to which, shape, consistency, and
form, have now been imparted by one of the
ablest men who ever filled the supreme seat of
Judicature in this country. But it is alike unjust
towards the Chancellor, 'awl to the expected sup 7
,orters of the Bankrupt Bill, to represent the pre-
ferments necessarily gro,.ving out of the new sys-
tem, to be of an amount or value capable of pur-
chasing, or, Which in his Lordship's hands, could be
ipplied to purchase, the support of men in the fore-
most rank of their profession. If any question were
o be raised as to the proposed emoluments of ;he
Judges of the new Bankrupt Court, it will be the
,nodeation, not the magnitude, of the scale on
which those emoluments have been regulated, that

must become the subject of remark. We may
mention that it is•doubtful in the profession whether '
'he scheme of creating official assignees may not be
advantageously carried into effect ; and some modi-
fication of the Bill in this particular, is spoken of as
not unlikely to take place before its re-production.

The Anti-Reformers are in ecstasy on account of
the riots at Merthyr-Tydvil, the Forest of Dean,
and the disturbances in Ireland. Of course there
never were any riots in this country before on ac-
count of wages and enclosures ; never any White-
boyism in Ireland. This is the working of Reform,
and Reform alone ! So, at least, says John Bull,

he organ, par excellence, of the Church :
" But let us look at the real state of the empire under
the healing influence of this liberal Ministry :—lreland is
in a state of open rebellion ; Wales in a state of insurrec-
tion ; and the people of the Forest• of Dean and its neigh-
{ ourhood are in a state of insubordination which threatens
the matt serious consequences—already they have done
nearly ten thousand pounds' worth of damage, destroying
the plantations and levelling the fences in all -directions.
Some of the military have been ordered from Merthyr to
quell the insurrection; but the magistrates refuse to permit

the troops to quit them. These are but the commence-
ment—the system is only beginning to work, and the
blessed effects of Reform are just dawning upon us. What
right have Kings to forests or to fences, and least of all li
oar King, who is, as Lord Grey has taught the people to
believe, a Reformer?
" But the impudence of the advocates of the Ministry
is such, that it is impossible to hear them without laughing
outright ; their writers tell us that the Reform measure,
as far as it has gone, has prevented a revolution, when it
is notorious that nobody was caring or thinking of Reform
until these very Ministers set the cry alma ; and they refer
t 3 Ireland, as a proof of the efficacy of the Government,
while they exhibit England as a specimen of perfect una-
nimity and harmony. Can anybody be so blind as not
to see the gradations by which we are daily advancing to
destruction? We think not, and yet such is the infatuation,
that time flies, gaiety and splendour are the order of the
day and night, and everybody seems anxious to get rid of the
truth by a feverish career of dissipation and recklessness."
How lucky that these riots should have broken
out at the opening of Parliament ! When we read
the above trash (for it deserves no better name),
we were forcibly reminded of the deseription'of the
unhappy state of li,erury men given by another con-
temporary (the Eraminet.), " compelled by penury
and dire despondence, which eat up so many minds
fit for better things, to prostitute their noble calling
by base compliances—to pander to selfishness and
malignity, instead of wrestling with them ; to give
utterance to the opinion which they hold not, to
counterfeit the emotion which they feel not ; to find
justification for the evil doer, instead of bringing him

to shame—to become confounded with the meanest
of mankind by sycophancy and base hypocrisy." We
wish we were able to connect the disturbances in
Ireland with the Reform Bill, for then the remedy
would not be far off. But the social disease of Ire-
land is of long standing, and no administration, whe-
ther Whig or Tory, can hope from any measures a
sudden or easy cure. To attribute the continually
recurring disturbances of that country to any parti-
cular man, is therefore to display an utter want of
principle. The Ministers who, so long opposed con-
cession to the Catholics, are so far chargeable with
the disturbances of Ireland, that they opposed a her
to all attempts to eater on the consideration of the
social condition of Ireland. Had emancipation
taken place twenty years ago, means might, ere this,
have been adopted for preventing the glaring dispro-
portion which now exists between the supply of
labour and the means for employing it. How much
more becoming the language of a Huntingdonshire
yeoman, at the Reform meeting at St. Ices, on
Tue•day last :
" Look at Ireland : I mourn when I think I belong to
a country connected with Ireland : I mourn when I see
blood, misery, plunder, persecution, transportation, and
imprisonment in Ireland : depend upon it a heavy judg-
ment hangs over England on account of Irelind.—(Hear,
hear.) See a set of beloved Bishops—(Cheers and
laughter)--living on 20,0001. or 30,0001. a year each,
.and the Irish at the same time dying for want of food.—
( Hear, hear.) England and her borougbmongers have
eared nothing for Ireland : if they can make her a desert,
they will then say, Look how peaceable she is !' "
The disturbances in England, however much to
be regretted, are not of a nature calculated to inspire
alarm. The Forest of Dean affair has arisen out of
misapprehension on a subject, respecting which the
lower orders are peculiarly jealous, and not without
reason; for every matt who knows anything of our
domestic history, is aware that the higher orders of
England have, by the mode of proceeding adopted
in the enclosing of commons, been guilty of great
injustice and great inhumanity towards the poor.—
But this is not the suitable time to open so delicate
a subject. We are not aware that during the Swing
disturbances, or the riots in the manufacturing dis-
tricts which took place some time before, any at-
tempt was made in the Opposition Papers of that
day, to attribute them to Ministerial tneasureq. We
thought that the country had outgrown such pitiful
attempts at misrepresentation. But the borough-
mongers take measure of the rest of the world from
hemsel ves.—Morning Chronicle.
We have often had occasion to deplore the want
of morality, and the evil example given by men in
high places in this country, and now fresh cause is
given to us for regret, in the system of falsehood
and misrepresentation lately adopted by the enemies
of Reform, and the irreclaimable abettors of abuses
and mis-goveinment. These, our Tory adversaries,
finding that their chance of openly opposing the Re-
feint Bills was rendered hopeless by the unanimous
expression of public opinion so clearly pronounced
in the late elections, have had recourse to a system
of fabricating malevolent reports of the intentions of
Ministers with regard to our military establishments,
in the main hope that by such means they might
produce fear and discontent in the minds of
persons, more or less connected with the
influential portion of our aristocracy. For this pur-
pose they have, during the last fortnight, indus-
triously circulated in society, and in the circle in
which they move, the absurd and unfounded ru-
mour, that it was intended to disband the House-
hold Troops. We were well aware of their mis-
chievous doings, but would not condescend to notice
them, until now that we see in the John Bull of
yesterday, the false rumour plainly stated, with the
addition that the Cabiret meant "to propose the
'eduction of the pay of the Guards." Knowing, as
we do, the sinister ends which the Tory faction has
in view, by the propagation of this falsehood, we
deem it our duty to declare distinctly, and from the
very best authority, that no such measure has ever
been coutiampleaed, and that there do, s not exist the
remotest intention of making any change or alteration
of any kind in the establishments of the Guards,
either in the cavalry or infantry regiments..--Norn-
ing Chronicle.
We publish in another column a moving appeal of
the Commander-in-Chief of the Polish army to the
Poles of the different Polish provinces incorporated
with Russia. This add' ess, it is hoped, will be dis-
ributed by the corps of the Polish army which have
already entered those provinces. In speaking of the
p olisli cause we have always
movementsc a r fn l y separated it
from the other revolutionary
within the last nine oforrteint months taken place in
revolution in
