Lord Ebrington brought forward last night the motion, with
regard to which the public attention has been so earnestly di-
rected since the rejection of the Reform Bill. His speech, as
was to be expected, was moderate in tone, but firm in purpose.
After briefly alluding to the state of the country, when the
present Ministry accepted office, he proceeded to characterize
their conduct since that period, doing ample justice to their
intentions, and allowing them merit for what they had already
done in giving effect to their intentions. However, he at the
same time did not scruple to tell them of their faults. " I think,
Sir, that in England and in Ireland too, there has been on their
part too much holding between two opinions ; that there has
been too great a disposition to conciliate those who never can
be conciliated by the acts of what I shall call a liberal Govern-
inent—(Hear, hear)---and that there have been some instances
of their overlooking the claims of their old and tried friends,
who had always given them their cordial and zealous support.—
(Hear, hear.) I think that my Noble Frind has, in some
things which he has done, and in other things which he has
left undone, consulted more the unsuspicious kindness of his
nwn generous nature than the exigency of public affairs, and
the necessity of supporting his own Government warranted ;
and, if I am not mistaken, my Noble Friend has, during the
last two or three days, received a pretty severe lesson on that
score.—(Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") I trust he will fall into
such errors no more." We have never approved of this part
of their policy, and the result has not disappointed us. A beast of
prey remains always a beast of prey. He who cherishes a serpent
in his bosom, has no right to complain of being stung. They
who look on the people merely as collectors of honey for the
privileged classes—as entitled to the liberty of toiling, but not
of securing the fruits of their toil—can never coalesce with
those who have more elevated views. But Lord Ebrington
fell partly into the vice of which he himself complained. " I
can have no wish," he said, " to speak harshly of the Members
of the other House of Parliament. There are among them in-
dividuals who, I conceive, have taken a most unfortunate and
mistaken view of this great subject—but who, I am sure, are
as incapable of giving a dishonest or corrupt vote on any ques-
tion as I hope lam myself. The same credit which I claim
on such points, I am willing, and am, indeed, bound to give
to all who composed the recent majority of the House of
Lords."—(Hear, hear.) And then his Lordship referred to one
Noble Lord in particular (Lord Harrowby, we presume),
whom he characterised as by far the most able, the most elo-
quent, and the most enlightened, of all the opponents of the
measure, and who, he was sure, had been swayed by the con-
viction that in the course he was taking he was consulting that
which had been the sole object of his political career—the best
interests of his country. We readily allow that the speech of
Lord Harrowby did seem that of a man who really and truly
felt the apprehension which he expressed. But we should
hesitate to say of most of the majority, that we believed them
sincere in any other sense than that they sincerely believed it a
good thing to plunder the people. They are hard, unfeeling,
selfish men, trained from their infancy to consider themselves
every thing, and the rest of the world nothing. But we can
easily uuderstand how men, by the force of circumstances, can
reconcile themselves to many things ; but while we account
for the diversities of human character, we must not carry our
liberality so far as to allow the same credit to the case-hardened
plunderer of nations—the man whose only principle is to gra-
tify his wants and desires, at whatever expense to others—and
the man whose conduct is regulated by respect for the rights of
his fellow.citizens, and to whom justice is a sacred rule. Men
have not only engaged in the slave trade, but justified it. Nay,
the British Parliament was so lost to justice as to sanction it.—
Are we, therefore, to extend our charity to man-stealers? No,
we say that the greatest part of the majority are in no other
sense honest men than Cartouche or a man-stealer is an honest
man; that the Bench of Bishops, in supporting a measure for
perpetuating corruption and perjury, are not honest; and that
we cannot allow them to do so without being prepared to make
allowance for all sorts of fraud, and dishonour, and crime.—
Let us take care that we do not by a nook liberally tamper with
the public conscience. We may allow that the Duke of Wel-
lington is a consummate General, without believing that he is
a man who would scruple at any means to gain his end, or who
cares more for the profession of principles than as means to
ends. We may allow that Lord Lyndhurst is a clever and
good-tempered man, without believing that he would stick to
any principle longer than he could make a penny by it. We
may allow that Mr. Croker is a very clever man, without be-
lieving that there is more than one human being in the world
for'whose well.being he cares one farthing. The most we can
say for the boroughinongers is, that they have been trainedunder to
injustice, and that their consciences are, perhaps, easy
it, as they have hitherto bad the hangman on their side.—
Honest men we cannot allow them to be, without confounding
all distinctions between right and wrong—without allowing that
a man may judge in his own cause, and wrongfully give sen-
tence in his own favour. There is a difference, and a great
difference, between the apprehensions, however unreasonable,
of Lord Harrowby, and the bold braving of justice in the
thick-blooded crew with whom he voted; who, to use the lan-
guage of Fielding, have satiated themselves that for their
"pleasure and profit mankind are to labour and sweat, to be
hacked and hewed, to be pillaged, plundered, and every way
destroyed." His Lordship concluded with moving a resolu-
tion, lamenting the fate of the Bill, re-asserting their firm
admiration of the principal and leading provisions of that great
measure, and expressing confidence in the integrity, perseve-
rance, and ability of Ministers. One might have supposed
from the speech of Mr. Goulburn,
,in answer to Lord Ebring-
ton, that the millions were in no way concerned in this ques-
tion, and that the country was in its usual state. Well, there-
fore, might Mr. Macaulay observe, " I cannot think that any-
body, judging from the speech of ;the Right Hon. Gentleman,
would have been able to conjecture upon what occasion we are
this night assembled.—(Hear.) I can, in perfect security, de-
clare, that never was I in my life so pressed down with a solemn
sense of responsibility as I and at this moment in addressing
you. The country is in danger of calamities greater than ever
before threatened it from domestic enmities or foreign hostility.
To settle the public mind—to reconcile the country to the short
delay which must intervene before their wishes can be legiti-
mately gratified—and in the mean time to avert civil discord,
and preserve the authority of the law ; these, if I understand
it rightly, are the objects of my Noble Friend, and these, as-
suredly, ought to be the objects of every honest Englishman."
(Cheers.) Assuredly the crisis is most alarming. To preserve
order ought to be the object of every good Englishman. But
on the other hand, while we enjoin patience to the people, it is
our duty to warn those at the helm of affairs, that with the
best intentions in the world, men May, at a time like this, be
mastered by events, and that nothing but the holding out, with
as little delay as possible to the people, the means of allowing
them to entertain a well-grounded hope that means will be
taken to ensure the passing of the Bill, can allay the dangerous
ferment which now prevails, and which is beginning already
to be felt in a way to which we are Unwilling more particularly
to allude. Good God! only think of the mischief of a total
suspension of all labour in every quarter, NO man can settle
down to anything. Yesterday the whole population were out
of doors. Eighty thousesid individuals attended the Maryle-
bone meeting alone. The Westminster Meeting was crowded
to suffocation. The parishes were ell in motion. The people
everywhere had Revolution in their mouths ; and we are
convinced, the very first suspicion which should cross their
minds, that an Anti-Reform Ministry was about to take the place
of the present, a revolution would be effected instanter. We
have long known the English people, and are well accustomed
to their frank and open way of expressing their approbation and
disapprobation; but the manner of yesterday was new to us.
They seemed fairly to have lost all patience-there was a bitter-
ness in their tone which seemed to say this is too bad—we can
bear no longer. At most of the meetings the people were only re-
strained from passing resolutions, finally resolving not to pay
taxes in case the Bill should not pass, by being assured of the
illegality of the proceeding ; but the question was in most cases
put whether the taxes would be paid, and lousily answered in
the negative. This was the case at the Clerkenwell meeting
Last night, which was numerously attended, and of which the
inhatihants agreed to meet at nine o'clock on Wednesday
morning, to go in procession with the other parishes that day

The debate in the House of Commons last night resulted in
an explanation from Lord Althorp, and in a majority on the
rote, which must powerfully tend to allay the alarms and to
restore the confidence of the country. After a considerable

number of speeches for and against the resolution of Lord
Ebrington—one of which, in particular (that of Mr. Macaulay),
was distinguished by extraordinary eloquence and power—Lord
Althorp, who had waited to hear all that could be said by the
Opposition against the Cabinet, of which he is a leading mem-
ber, entered upon an explanation which could not have been
more appropriately given on any other motion than on that
which pledged the House to its continued confidence in the
Administration, and its continued adherence to the principle
and chief provisions of the Reform Bill. His Lordship stated that
he and his colleagues, unless they expected to carry a measure of
Reform equally sufficient with that which the Lords had rejected,
would not remain in office " another hour." This declaration was
followed by great cheering, and hailed with apparent satisfaction
by a large majority of the House. His Lordship went on to

state, that the present servants of his Majesty had always
found him so frank, so kind, and so condescending,—they en-

joyed so completely his confidence, and had experienced so
many proofs of his regard, that they would never abandon him
so long as he was pleased to consider their services as valuable,
and so long as they saw that they were useful. In the temper
of the House, and after sinister reports of an opposite character,
this announcement was likewise interrupted with great cheer.

ing, and produced expressions of strong satisfaction. His Lord.
ship proceeded in declaring that these services to which he had
alluded could neither be valued by the King nor be useful to the
country, if accompanied with any loss of character, and he
would consider his character as lost, if he consented to bring

in any less efficient measure of Reform than that to which he
had just pledged himself. He did not mean to say that there
might not be some modifications of the late Bill in the new mea-
sure ; but such modifications would not narrow its extent nor
impair its efficiency. This assurance was uttered with such an
appearance of unreserved frankness and of fixed determination,
as not only inspired confidence in his Lordship's sincerity,
but appeared to remove all anxiety about the nature of the in-
tended changes. The Noble Lord did not stop with expressing

his acknowledgments to the King for enabling the Cabinet to
carry on the measure of Reform, or the consequent duties which
the Royal confidence imposed; he added, that they owed so
much to the people, that they were bound in gratitude not to
desert them, so long as they could be useful in promoting the
accomplishment of the great measure to which they had shown
so strong and enlightened an attachment. These different
declarations were crowned with an expression of the personal
hope of the Noble Lord, that the victory of the enemies of the
Bill, though great, would be short, and that the new measure,

commotion greater than if Bonaparte, with twice an hundred
thousand men, had landed on the coast of Kent, the British
Peers, whose act has produced this ferment, meet, after a day's
repose, and adopt no measure—make no reflection on the state
of the country. So, then, it appears—for this is coming to the
truth—this is probing the wound—it appears, we say, that after
the Anti-Reformers in the Upper House, from whatever
variety of motive, have united in rejecting the Bill of the
people, they adhere together no longer—they have no project of
their own to offer—they can agree upon nothing farther!
They distrust each other, and particularly they distrust their
Chief; for, otherwise, they might at least have had a reso.
lution to propose, calculated to sooth the affront offered to
the other House, and to appease the troubled mind of the
British people. We turn from this discordant body to another,
of as remarkable agreement and unity of purpose. The public
may have observed that there has been lately in the few prints
attached to the Opposition, a certain gentleneness of speech—
nay, more, a positive flattery—used towards Lord Brougham.
We know the object of this cajollery, and we know also, when
that object is found of a certainty to be defeated (as defeated it
is), that gentleness will be turned to bitterness, that flattery to
scurrility, and the Lord Chancellor will be abused to the same
degree to which he has been for a while exalted by designing
praise. And here we would caution another person, justly
distinguished for talents, to observe his position with his party.
He is only taken as a pis allcr: in case, which we should think
impossible, that party were to succeed, the preference is given
to another. But be it known to all seducers, and all the indulgers
of false hopes, that the present Lord Chancellor will not separate
himself from Earl Grey on the question of Reform,nor ever accept
of any Bill less comprehensive than the present in imparting
to the people their rights. With this union, then, among
themselves, this support of the House of Commons, of the
People, and of the King. what have the Ministry to fear ? They
will act with energy, and the result is certain. Of course,
whoever or whatever of the Royal Household has obstructed
their progress, or tended to diffuse an opinion that their power
is limited, or their hands tied, will be removed. It may have
been suffered for a while through too great facility, from pity,
or even contempt ; but the matter becomes serious now. The
continuance in office of one Peer adverse to the Bill, must oc.
casion the creation of another to neutralize his vote : such a
person, therefore, is injurious to the dignity of the House of
Peers. The Ministers will then, undoubtedly, call for their
fresh creation of Peers, in number capable of satisfying the
just expectation of the nation, redeeming the sacred pledge of
the King to give his people a free and pure representation, and
so again uniting us all—after one of those conflicts which, like
a thunderstorm, does but serve to purify the political atmos-
phere, in the bonds of amity and peace. If the Peers have been
inactive at thin alarming crisis, the case has been otherwise with
the Commons. The House met last night and followed up th eir Bill
by two resolutions—temperate, indeed, and mild in their ex-
pression, but of such tenour as would for ever pledge the House,
if it had even only the dignity of an ordinary assembly,—if its
Members had only the common sense of honour entertained by

GREAT PROCESSION TO THE KING.

The following is an outline of the order in which the northern
and eastern parishes of the metropolis will move in procession to
his Majesty to-morrow :
The inhabitants of Islington, St. Luke's, and the eastern dis-
trict will assemble at nine o'clock in their several parishes, and
meet the Clerkenwell procession (which forms on Clerkenwell-
green at nine o'clock) at Claremont-square, Pentonville at ten,
and proceed thence along the New-road to meet the parishes of
Marylebone, Paddington, Pancras, &c. at the end of Tottenham
Court-road, about eleven o'clock. The whole will then move
forward through Tottenham Court.road, and join the Blooms-
bury and St. Giles's parishes at Oxford-street, whence it will
proceed along Regent-street to Pall-Mall, joining the parishes
which concentrate at Charing-cross. The united procession will
then proceed to the Palace of St. James's, to receive the answer
of the King to their Addresses.
Deputations from the parishes are to assemble again at the
Sovereign Tavern, Clarence-market, St. Pancras, at six o'clock
to-night, to make final arrangements. Measures are taken to
ensure the utmost order.

Mr. Ponsonby has a majority of 30 votes before the Assessor.

It will be seen that the Lord Chancellor was
last night forced to bring in a Bill to set aside a judgment of the
House of Lords in a Scotch appeal case. The Noble and Learned
Lord who pronounced the judgment which makes this extraor-
dinary method of revision necessary was Lord Wynford. Lord
Lyndhurst fully concurred with the Lord Chancellor as to the
propriety of allgullipg thy decision,
