HOUSE OF COMMONS..

At four o'clock the SPEAKER counted the Triern-
bert present, when finding but thirty-six in their
places, he declared the House to be Adjourned
till this day. •

The inconsistencies and short memories of

some men are very remarkable, and we knol.v no ,
one who possesses, in a more eminent degree,
these distinguishing qualifications than the Edi-.
tor of The Dita:harn Chronicle. We have fur-
nished some prods of this in former publications,
and we • now bring forward another. In The
Chronicle of the 27th of January, last year, he.
calls upon the Rev. Author of a letter addressed
to Earl Grey, to state whom he designates in
that letter as " a miserable mercenary ?" that his
name may be " held forth to scorn and execra-
tion." Receiving no answer was likely) he
tries the cap himself, and finds it fit; for in his
affidavit, read to the Court of King's Bench on
the 25th ult. we perceive lie swears that he be-.
lieves himself to be the person so designated !
We'refer our readers to the following extracts.'
from The Chronicle and the Affidavit :

From The Durham Chronicle From the Affidavit read tc the
of Jan. 27; 1821. Court, Jan. 2rF, 1822.
" Mr. Phillpotts says, I " That in a certain other
am not ignorant that I may Pamphlet, printed and pub_
possibly draw upon myself all lished at Durham, by another
the fury of your adherents, from of the Clergy thereof, to wit,
the political Reviewer, who the Rev. -Henry Phillpotts,
scarcely any longer pretends to M.A. Rector of Stanhope' and
regard truth antiustice as qua- IMO), one of the Prebendaries
lifications for his calling; down of Durham, and whose name
to the miserable mercenary who is affixed to the said Pamphlet,
eats the bread of prostitution, he, this deponent, is described
and panders to the low appe= and designated, as he has been
tites of those who cannot, or informed and verily believes,
who dare not, cater for their in the words following, that is
own malignity.' If Lord Grey to say--4 A miSerabie .inerce-
has adherents answering to this nary who eats the bread ofpro-
description, we are persuaded stitution, and panders to the
they receive„ no encouragement low appetites of those who
from his Lordship; and'We are net, or who dare not, ester f.it
also sure, that be would never their own rnttiignityss "
bestow the slightest counte-
nance upon such wretches. But

, .
will 3.1 r. Phillpotts have the
goodness to be a little less ob-
scure, a little more explicit ?
Will he point out the' political
Reviewer,' who has excited his

gall ? Will he say who he de-
signates as the miserable mer.

cenary ? The public should
know to whom he alludes, that
the persons who merit the cha-
racter he h as given them, should
be shunned, and their names
held forth to scorn and exe-
cration.

The affidavit above quoted contains also :fie
following remarkable passage, which surely no
reader of the Chronicle can for a moment doubt
" He, this deponent, hath always, and particularly since the
commencement of the said newspaper, called " The Durham
Chronicle," &c. anxiously and zealously .endeavoured to pay
the person and family of his present every mark of re-
spect ! ! !"
In this same affidavit, the Editor of The Chro
nick swears, that in publishing the article or pa.
ragraph complained of, " he was not actuated it
any the least degree by motives of malice or
will towards the Clergy of the city of Durham,
much less towards the Clergy of any other part
of the United Kingdom."
The deep penetration of the Editor of. The
Chronicle having thus, it would seem., discovered
something much less than the least degree, his
friends, we hear, entertain sanguine hopes that,
ere long, this renowned wiseacre will discover the ,
