.cLordly f‘'..fist.oerats of En; lend' were about to ex-

nianv hard words, have received a repreve, and even
the old serf-elect are found to have been better
theni our Ccntemporare • chose to desciihe them.
" People (says the 'Pintos) were at first stag-
gered (the Times is competent evidence as to the
staggering) by the Seeining confidence of exulta-
tion put forth by the Whig Radicals, at the po-
litical harvest which, they were assured, must fol-
low from the turn-out of certain old - Aldermen,
and their municipal appendages. But after a little
explanation and reflection, the thing is now in) better
than a stale joke against the Ministers, bought by Ore
moderate disbinsiement of scone 10,00.01:, or there-
abuts.'' • So that, after ;11, the old • CorporatoN
would haVe been returned.by the bouseholderS, but for
bribery.: There is something accountable iii attach
meats. he old self-elect were irresponsible plun-
derers and oppressens'of their re,*ctive comMunities
but still the householders would have re-stated them
in power had they been suffered to folloW their inch=
na,tions. But all-powerful gold proved' too strong fi •
temptation to the householders. A great deal of twaddl.t
of this sort is gravely placed by the Times before .i(1
readers. Who is to be (biped by it ? Who be-
lieves, too, that the Municipal Elections will have nci
effect on the election of Members to Parliament ?
All the householders are not political electors, but
many of' them are. And- is' it nothing, that all
the functionaries, from the Mayor downwards, are
Reformers? that justi e i; Lo longer administered-by
Tory Recorders assisted by Tory Town-clerks.? If
the Tories were able to carry any boroughs' in spite
of the inclinations of a majority of the electors, by the
influence of the Corporation, what must the case be,
when not only the majority of the electors are Re-
formers, but the Councils and Magistrates are fte-
formers? The truth 'is, that the 'Tories are nothing
without corruption. They attach to them all who
seek to live by the plunder of the people--alt-who have
ends which dare not be avowed. When the Cor-
porations' were, corrupt, they naturally allied them-
selves to the Tories. There are no disinterested
Tories among the middle classes. Occasionally
a rich Nobleman may be a Tory, not so much
for pecuniary gain as a natural love of tyranny
over his fellow-creatures, and retarding improve-
ment. There are sno doubt
~among them too,
" the tools which men do work with, called fools."
But the ranks of the Tories are for the most part filled
by mercenaries. The purificatiOh of the Corporations,
by withdrawing so much
_public property from their
controul, must be felt by them as ksevere blow. The
people of every country may be divided into the honest
anti industrious, and the idle. and profligate. The.To-
ties come undefthe latter division, and they must se- •
fer from whatever protects the honest and industrinOS'
.froin their depredations. If Reform he sufibred to
produce its fruits, the numerous bands of would-be
gentry who still swarm throughout the counti y, must
betake them to some honest callings or to the work-
house.—Morning Chronicle.
We need not recommend, for it will recommend
itself, a powerful and most interesting letter in this
day's Times, bearing the signature of " Vindex.-

feeble to govern the county alone, it, threw that indo-

into O'Connell's anus. Party spite, malice almost
personal, mingled with a sordid and menial appetite
for office, was the real moving power of the Melbourne
Whigs, in preferring a partnership with Irish re-
healers and agitating Papists, to an union upon ho-
nourable terms, and for constitutional purposes, -
temperate and liberal Conservatives—with the P4hke
of Wellington and Sir R. Peel. The elements such
