INCORPORATED.

LONDON :
THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 1, 1838.

Such of our readers as look at the Tory journals will be I
aware that their language yesterday in relation to Mr.
O'CONNELL was that of unm:ngled triumph. The hopes
of their party were excited to the utmost. They had oh-
tained victory upon victory over the master of the Minis-
ters, and they never doubted the speedy accomplishment of
their fondest wishes. In that delightful frame of mind
they hurried to the House of Commons at an early tiour.
Never were the benches, never was the g dlery, more
crowded. Some doubts were thrown out whether Mr.
O'CONNELL would appear to receive the reprimand, hut the
Tories never dreamed that if he did attend, he would not
quail abashed under the expression of their dreadful ire
r)lennely' pronounced by the SPEAKER. When the order
of the day was called there was a dead silence.
The intenseness of hope almost suppressed tl.c
breathings of the Tories, and expectation became
quite awful. " You may almost. hear men's hearts
heat," was the whispered remark of a deeply-observ-
ing spectator. A slight cloud appeared to come over
the face of the Tories, previously radiant with joy, as Mr.
O'CoNNELL, starting up in his place on his name being
called, readily answered in a cheerful tone, " Here I am,
Sir." That cloud deepened a little, as the SPEAKER, in
his address, which the Tories admit to have " been credit-
ahle to him," and " not deficient in dignity of demeanour,"
went on to characterise, with great truth and justice, the
language which Mr. O'CONNELL had used, pointing out to
him how he might judiciously have employed his great ener-
gies in improving the Bill intended to reform the tribunal
which Mr. O'CoNNELL impugned, thereby at once admit-
ting much of the truth of those accusations the majority
had pronounced to be Use and scandalous ; and that cloud
became dark and gloomy, as the SPEAKER, adverting to
the usual mode in which the House was wont to " consult
its real dignity, and obey the dictates of true wisdom, in
relying for protection and defence against misroprescntation
and calumny on the consciousness of the zeal and fidelity
with which it discharges its duty to the people whom it

represents," gave an inilireet, but a severe reproof
to the indiscreet meddling of those " fools" who " rush in
where angels fear to tread." When Mr. O'CONNELL,
however, who had stood and listened to the SPEAKER'S
ri primand with calm dignity, instead of sinking into his
place, and cosering his face with both his hands, or rubbing
out of the House in an agony of humiliatlen, contrition,
and shame, went on to speak in a firm, calm, and dignified
manner, the Tories began to have serious misgivings, and
the faces erewhile radiant with hope, and then clouded
with doubt, begun to grow alternately pallid with fear, and
red with shame. But when Mr. O'CONNELL had con-
el'ided sprteeb, in which he brought much additional and
valu Me evidence to elucidate the character of Election
Committees, demonstrating by the records of several years
experience that he had spoken correctly of the conduct of the
Members—in which he contrasted with powerful effect the
honour of gentlemen of the bar who were ashamed to put
questions which " some friendly Member" was put up to
ask—in which he alluded to a flagrant illustration of all
he had said, that many Members knew was to come before

the Ilcuie that evening, and in which ha solemnly and more
than once repeated his charge, declaring, " I repent nothing
—I retract nothing ;" " I am bound to r:-assert what I (lave

z.:-.3erted,"—when iSir. O'CONNELL had concluded a speech
which the force of truth made overpowering, and the con-
tietiens of the Members made almost annihilating, by re-
crating in firmer, though less offensive language, the charge
of perjury, the joy and pride of the poor Tories had fled,
and they wished themselves far away from the unsparing
lash of him whose humiliation they had assembled to gloat
over. The Protetant Lord MmosToNE was struck dumb
by the truth poured forth by the Catholic Mr. O'CoN-
NELL. Another Protestant Lord, who inherits all the un-
bashed promptness of his family, rose to speak, but failed
to make his voice reach the SPEAKER'S ear. The leaders
all sat silent. The plausible Sir ROBERT fretted his chin and
t:ose with meditative ribbing, without being able to chafe
into life a single hostile attack. The Earonct of the
North, so prompt to vaunt his mighty intentions, so apt,
Eke his ancestor, to be wanting in the hour of need, was

4s silent as his (lief. Even Mr. WYNN heard, with help

less astonishment, all precedents set at naught by the
conversion of a reprimand into a brilliant triumph, without
being able to come to the help of the two Protestant Lords,
and the two Leaders of the Protestant party, by one
r_ingle citation. Not a Tory demanded that Mr. O'CoN-
NELL'S reiteration of his charge should ba taken down ; but
they all sat perplexed, and wondering what heavier blow

-was next to fall on them. Nothing, in truth, was wanting-
to complete their humiliation, but the appearance at the
bar of the Chairman of the London Election Committee,
to report that a Tory Member of that Committee, a

gentleman remarkable for his regularity, preciseness, and the
comparative strict nes of his morality, had found out that
morning, that he, being a citizen of London, had voted for
Mr. PALMER at the last election, though he had declared
at the table of the House only the day before that he had
not so voted, and was accordingly, after being challenged,
appointed on the Committee. This extraordinary instance
of defective memory in a Tory Member appointed to decide
oil an election in which he was interested, completed Mr.
O'CONNELL'S statements, and then the Protestant Tories
felt that they were publicly convicted of an odious offence,
a knowledge of which they had impressed deep into the
public mind, by seeking to vent their poor and bigotted
spite against the Catholic Member for Dublin. Never did
full blown hopes collapse so suddenly, and prove their own
❑othingness. Never were men in a more pitiable plight.
They seemed ready, like the man in the play, to sink into a
heap of dust, which filled the chambermaid with sorrow, as
" she would have to sweep him up." A poor wretch caught
in the act of picking a pocket, or any dear professing friend
—a character better known to many Honourable Gentle-
men than the pickpocket—caught in the arms of his
friend's wife, is an apt symbol of the dismay of the To-
ries. No woe-begone wretch whom poets have pictured,
not even he " who drew Priam's curtain in the dead of
night," looked half so wan as the Tories, who, a short
half-hour before, had hastened to the House, to exult
over Mr. O'CoNNELL's humiliation, and see his servants,
as the Tories profess to call the Ministers, sneak
out of office. Poor, disappointed, branded, Tories—
we should pity them if they bad yesterday shown, when

they believed :the victory to be. theirs, one spark of
charity or humane .forbearance towards the lion whom they
had caught in their toils. But slow torture alone had they
in prospect, and well have they merited the chastisement
they inflicted on themselves.
We yesterday published a list of the professing Liberals
who were absent from the House the evening before ; but
we are no longer sorry that they neglected their duty.
They have unintentionally given to Mr. O'CONNELL the
greatest triumph he ever yet obtained. Many of them
meant, we believe, to show their hostility to him : for this
their constituents will probably reward them at a fitting
opportunity. But whatever might have been their
motives, they have rendered to him and the public a most
signal sen ice. But for their absence, which allowed
the Tories to subject him to a solemn reprimand,
we should not have witnessed their humiliatiun ; and
should not have obtained the conviction that not a
Member of the House of Commons, alter being accused of
partiality, injustice, and perjury, dared to stand up and de-
fend the conduct of Election Committees. The conclusion
to this important farce will probably make the Tories here-
after cautious how they allow the political and religious
prejudices of Lord WINCIIILSEA'S son to be the rule of
Lheir policy.

Whether the present times will be called by future his-
torians the age of the marvellous or the age of the credu-
lous, or both, we cannot say—certain it is that we are
surrounded by circumstances of the most surprising cha-
racter. First, we have Mr. MURPHY and his marvellous
predictions in the very teeth of a sacred authority, which
tells us that the " wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou
canst not tell whence it cometh nor whither it goeth."
Mr. MURPHY said he could—half this Christian country
believed him—and the especial oracle of the Parsons, our
beloved Grandmama, apologized to her readers for having
omitted for one day his most valuable and veracious pre-
dictions. Next, we have Election Committees for the last
20 years, in nine cases out of every ten (as can Le proved
from our own files) deciding, when a majority of
Tories, in favour of the Tory ; when a majority of
Whigs, in favour of the Whigs ; and the assembled
Representatives of the whole people of England solemnly
believe and declare, that this most astonishing coincidence
was perfectly correct and proper, and according to " truth,
honour, and law," and that to say otherwise was " a false
and scandalous imputation," to be visited by a severe re-
primand. Next, and at the very moment an Honourable
Member of the House hears several other Members ob-
jected to for having voted at the election for the City of
London, and set aside on that account—such Honourable
Member being well known as one of the most zealous
Tories in the whole kingdom, and from that very zeal the
most likely to be deeply impressed with every thing he
himself does to promote t'ie cause—and yet this very
Honourable Member declares that he positively did not
recollect till the morning after he was sworn to try this
particular election, that he himself voted at it—and
this wonderful absence of memory is true—and the G5B
Representatives of the people believe it at the very moment
they are reprimanding Mr. O'CoNNELL for his want of
Nth in this and similar miracles. 011! for a Prince
HouliNt.onE and a Mother SOUTHCOTE! What golden
days are in waiting for them. Why do not their followers
appeal to the country, and especially to the majority of the
Rouge of Commons % Prophet BROTHERS only got one
Member of Parliament to believe in him—were he to rise
ugain one might ahnoit promise him 263.

We d:rect the public attention to another article on the
coal trade, by which it appears that the average number of
colliers lying in the river in the three months of October,
November, and December, was 161. That number was
increased in January and February, when the severity of
Ole weather impeded the operation of unloading them, to
217. We are informed too that Committees of
the House of Commons have established the fact, that
the colliers wait on an average at least four weeks
for their tura to unload. The expcnse of keeping
164 or 217 vessels lying idle may be estimated from the
account which our Correspondent supplies of the expense
of a single vessel. If that be as is stated, 1571., the expense
of the 164 vessels will be 25,478/. The mode, too, in
Iv:licit the shipowners arc remunerated at the expense of
the coal owner, is worthy of notice. Only so many tons of
coals are paid for in the Tyne, as the vessel is registered to
carry ; but she carries a great many more, and the over-
plus is the source of the ship-owner's profit. In all these
regulations and proceedings, there are restrictions and fic-
tions which are more worthy of our courts of law, than of
the straight forward dealings of commerce.

We have r.,ceived a file of Upper Cana la Journals to
the 26th of January inclusive. The Gazelle contains a
proclamation by her Majesty the QUEEN, appointing Tues-
day, the 6th instant, a day of public thanksgiving, for the
deliverance of the Province " from the dangers and cala-
mities of the unnatural insurrection and rebellion," which
so r:cently threatened it. In the Gazette of the 22d, we
find a message from Sir F. B. HEAD to the Legislative
Council and House of Assembly, in which his Excellency
gives the following account of his retirement from the
government of the province
The Lieutenant-Governor takes this opportunity to com-
municate to the Legislative Council, that having had the mis-
fortune to differ from her Majesty's Government on one or two
joints of Colonial policy, he felt it his duty, on the loth of
September last, respectfully to tender to her Majesty's Princi-

pal Secretary of State for the Colonies, the resignation of the
important station which for a short time he has had the honour
to hold in this province."
The addressee voted by both branches of the Legis-
-1 iture, in answer to this Message, are filled with
commendations of the wisdom of Sir FRANCIS BOND

HEAD, whom the Members declare to be entitled
to the gratitude, not only of Canada, but of Great Britain.
In a second address, they pray the Governor to submit to
them those paints of policy upon which he differed with her
Majesty's Ministers, in order, it may be presumed, to
enable them to decide upan the merits of the contest.
The Gallant Consmander of the Toronto Invincible s
had the good sense to perceive that this was carrying
the joke a little too far—that the judgment of the
Canadian Legislature was not called for upon such a
question as that at issue between himself and the British
Cabinet. He, therefore, signified to them that such
a disclosure could not be made without embarrassing
the conduct of his successor ; although personally it
would delight him to comply with the prayer of their
address. His Excellency likewise communicated to the
Legislature all the documents in his possession, relative to
the progress and suppression of the insurrection and the
destruction of the Caroline, hut as they contain no new fact
of importmee, and as the great bulk of them have already
appeared in The San, we cannot crowd our columns with
them to the exclusion of more useful and interesting
matter.

The Pais Journals of Tuesday contain na political news
of either local or general interest, except what will be found,
in the annexed extracts :

We have the following letter from our correspondent :
MADRID, FEB. IS.-eneral Oraa seeing himself aban-
doned by the Government has sent in his resignation. It
seems that the Liberal party is recovering courage, and will
soon come into power. The Marquis de Miraflores, an ardent
partisan of the slata quo, was hissed in his late speech rela-
tive to the projects of the Cabinet of the Tuileries.
Don Francisco earnestly desires to go to Italy with his
wife and children. The Queen, who distrusts his wife, who
aspires to the Regency, and perhaps even to the throne, has
refused to grant him his passport. Don Francisco, forgetting
his habitual calmness, replied that it depended only on himself
to be in a condition to prescribe laws to her.
We yesterday announced the death of M. de Grammont.
We learn with satisfaction that this news is not true. He is
indeed seriously ill, but yet he appears to be getting better, so
as to give some hopes to his family and friends.—Constitti-
tionnel. _ .

The Phare de Bayonne has the following letter
SARAGOSA, FED. 19--The army of the centre is going to
be divided into two points; one will be under General Santos
San Miguel, the other will be commanded by General Borso
de Carminati. Oraa will remain Commander-in-Chief of these
two corps and of the two provinces.
Oraa left Teruel on the 16th, with a battalion of light ar-
tillery, and the two squadrons which have remained in that
town since their arrival from Madrid.
Gardesa is now besieged by Forcadell with a battalion and
two companies of the corps of Cabrera. It has hitherto de-
fended itself with vigour.
It is affirmed that a foreign legation, much devoted to Don
Carlos, spreads a report of many important advantages gained
by his troops. We not only think•these reports incorrect, but
believe ourselves authorised to think that we shall soon know
at Paris the details of an action between the Carlists and the
Christinos, the result of which are wholly favourable to the
Queen's troops. —Le Commerce.

pears that there was a rumour at Washington, on the 30th of January,
that some Cabinet changes were In agitation. Mr. Dickenson, Secre-
tary of the Navy, had resigned; and it was stated confidently *at Mr.
Van Buren would be glad to get rid of some others of his Cabinet, such
as Mr. Wendall and Mr. Woodbury.
