SPIRIT Ol' THE PUBLIC JOURNALS

We t:nought that Sunday Cabinet Councils were \
now 'Jut of fashion, and are almost inclined to doubt 1
the correctness of a statement communicated to us by
a respectable Correspondent, that a Caucus of that
description was held yesterday in Grosvenor-place by
three eminent individuals, Mr. William Holmes, Sir
James Graham, and Lord Stanley, on the case of A.r.
O'Connell and Mr. Raphael. The object of these
deliberations was said to be the suggestion of a plan
to the Jeint Committee of Management at the Carlton
Club (which was, of course, cordially adopted by the
Committee as emanating from such experienced tacti-
ci7ms), for prosecuting the further proceedings in the
affair. The House is to he asked to examine evi-
dence at the Bar, which may have the doubl.z effect of
of reform now iTa progress, and
impedine- the measures
giving the advantage of • making an impression by
their fresh ex pate evidence oeforc it can be contra-
dicted. From what we ',war of the case, we should
think, however, that -no objections would be taken to
this course. N'twithstanding the bravadoes of the
Taffry journal;, we should think the party must have
sad misgiy;-egs respecting this business. For after all
what is to be inquired into? They have already
acquit :x(1 Mr. O'Connell of the only tenable ground
of .accusation—the putting any part of the money re-
ceived from Raphael into his own pocket. When
they have acquitted him of this, what can they possibly
urge against hiM ? Is it not notorious that a county
can only be contested at a Ineavy expense'?
What more natural than that-, an Englishman,
to whom the very mention of a contested county
•'
election instantly conjure.;,, up bills for many thou-
sand pounds, shoul,l, before embarking in a con-
test for an Irish. county, wish to know the extent
of the sacrifice. he may be called on to make, and
to have so'.-.le guarantee that it would not be exceeded ?
Mr. O'Connell possessed the necessary local in-
formatie,n, and what more proper than that he,
to secure a candidate who would support what he
deemed the good cause, should give the.guarantee de-
manded ? The money he received from Raphael aid
not remain in his hands, but was all accounted for.
Where is the English Member who does not, before
embarking in an election contest, endeavour to obtain
un assurance front some influential individual that he
shall not have to expend more than a certain sum ?
That the Tories, who at the last election pursued a
wholesale system of bribery, should turn up the whites
of their eyes on this occasion, and affect surprise at
the wonderful corruption of Mr. O'Connell, in allow-
ing himself to be the charnel of communication be-
tween
Raphael and the Committee for conducting the
Carlow election, weuld be no doubt extremely edifying.
But they can htrilly suppose that in this business they
will have everything their own way. Other petitions
are to be presented, complaining of the conduct of the
Tory -landlords in the county ; and at all events the
pu'alic will gain, by a complete exposure of the whole
system of Irish county elections. The causes of the
depopulation of whole villages, and of the ejectment
en masse of the Catholic tenantry, because they will
not vote against their consciences, will no doubt be
sufficiently explained. In accounting for the money
of Raphael expended in the contest for Callow, a light
will be thrown on doings most disgraceful to the Orange
landlords; and if we know anything of our country-
men, we are sure the exposure will kindle in Chem a
generous feeling of indignation against the heartless
oppressors of the Irish peasantry. The money of
Raphael, which the Purists of the Carlton Club allege
to have been applied to purposes of corruption, may
possibly be shown to have been chiefly expended in
affording the necessary protection to the peasantry in
the independent exercise of their franchise. We can-
not think so meanly of the more respectable Tories as
that they will Countenance the ridiculous proceedings
in agitation, What a relief to Sir Robert Peel, if the
story we have heard is true, must the transfer be of
this dirty work of his party to such able hands !
Morning Chronicle.

-The period that has elapsed since the opening of
Parliament, brief as it is, has been already a pro-
ductive one, not only in the announcement of import-
ant measures of reform, but in events important in
their bearings upon the fate and prospects of parties.
Looking at it in the latter point of view, we see cause
to congratulate our readers upon the present posture
of affairs. Compare our prospects at this time with
the state of things at the commencement of the last
session of Parliament. Last session our majority on
the Address was seven ; this session it is forty-one.
Last session our Representatives had before them the
whole task of removing a mock-reforming Ministry—
nowise inclined t&quit office as long as they could,
with any regard in decency, retain possession of it.
It is true we had then the gratifying spectacle of a
succession of progressive majorities, and the Ministers
of the hundred days compelled at last to yield to the
constitutional forces arrayed against them ; but the
majorities which compelled Peel to retire were all in-
ferior in number to the majority on the late occasion, and
we begin the Parliamentary session with our friends in
power, our forces increased, and, in short, the whole
party morally and physically stronger than when
it drove the Tories from office. Another subject of
congratulation is the altered position occupied by Lord
Stanley and his friends. Last year the comparatively
neutral position taken up by this section of a party was one
wiXeli tended to embarrass, if not to divide, Reformers;
an'3, , but for the decision with which the contest was
conducted by the leaders of the Reform party, might
have been attended with more serious consequences.
This year we have the people of the Dilly (now re-
duced to Lord Stanley and " the heavy Baronet,") in
their proper position among the Tories. There is no
neutral camp to which waverers and trimmers may be-
take themselves ; and those members who were led by
Lord Stanley's influence and specious position to range
themselves for the moment under his banner, have re-
turned to their allegiance to the Reform Ministry, de-
sirous, no doubt, to remove by the steadiness of their
Support, whatever causes of umbrage they may have
given to their constituents by the omissions or com-
missions of last session. Another and a great cause of
congratulation to Reformers is, that while important
measures are in progress in the very commencement
of the session, there appears every probability that
the liberal concessions necessary to satisfy the just
expectations of the people will meet with far less op-
position by those leaders of the Conservatives, without
whom the whole party is all but powerless, than was
otleria to the 'Ministerial measures of last session,
when the sections of the present Opposition had been
so recently united by the bond of place, and the dis-
crepancies between them were forgotten, in their hos-
tility to those who bad ousted them from office. Since
that time an. evident change has taken place--the
Ultras are less manageable, and the leaders of the
party less inclined to defer to their whims and pre,u-
dices. " The Duke" secludes himself at Strat!rfleldsay,
and the fascinations of the Londonderrys and Rodens
are thrown away upon empty benches. The Tithe
Bill is brought into the Commons, and no sound
of spoliation is heard from the lips of Peel. The po-
sition of Reformers, therefore, is greatly improved in
Parliament, while out of Parliament the Corporation
Reform Bill has destroy.ed a well known Tory corps of
reserve, so that an appeal to the country would be fol-
lowed by a large addition to the Liberal ranks, and
every prudent concession must be gained by a continu-
ance of unanimity and energy.—Morning Chronicle.
The Bills for the Registration of Births, Marriages,
and Deaths, and for the Celebration of Marriages,
which Lord John Russell obtained leave to bring_ in
on Friday, involve matters of so vast importance, that
'we are not inclined to hazard an opinion respecting
their merits until we see them entire. Of course we
say this with reference to the details of the measures
generally. we apprehend,
No difference of opinion,
exists respecting the principles of either. -The diffi-
culties of devisin% an efficient, practical plan for the re-
gistration of bias, marriages, and deaths, are un-
doubtedly ver,y, great, and very numerous, but they are
not insuperame •; and the immense advantages that
would result to the community at large from the esta-
blishment of such a registry are now, we believe, as
universally understood and acknolviedged as they are
indisputable. With regard to the Bill- for the Cele-
bration of Marriages, we believe there is almost an
equal concurrence of opinion in favour of granting
to the Dissenters whatever measure of that nature
they may desire, provided that they wish for,

can receive with favour a measure like Lord it Rus-

affair of ours) ne issen-
tets fintl no fault with Ott liili in this respect, we
have none to neg. At the same time we cannot re-
frain firm expressing frankly at the outset our antici-
pations that a part at least, if not the whole, of the
machinery of this measure will prove exceedingly un-
palatable and unpopular. We are of opinion, that
whether from pride or from prejudice, or from other
feeling, the strength of which it will not be prurient
for the Legislature to contemn, the middle classes
of the community will very much dislike to make
personal applications at the workhouses of the dis-
tricts in which they hie for those certificates
which are rendered necessary by the Bill, before
'they can enter into the married state. We doubt
also whether the Dissenters, and especially the beau
Wee, will chose to have their marriage party or pro-
cession proceed to chapel under the escort of the over-
seer or relieving-officer, (or whatever else the poor-
law functionary may be called,) just after the fashion
of the old pauper weddings, where the parish beadle
was the most conspicuous personage in the group. It
is said that not many weeks since a countryman, en-
tering a certain borough on a Sunday, met the Mayor
and Common Council (newly elected under the late
act) coming out of church. The Mayor he at once
recognized by his robes, the mace, &c., but the Com-
mon Council, who followed at his worshipful heels,
welt to scrubby-looking a set, that the clown, mistak-
ing them for prisoners in custody, exclaimed, " Why,
what ha's brought 'em out o'gaol to-day for—thee
ben't •going to try 'em o'Sunday ?" The first time
the same worthy " chopstick " happens to meet a Dis-
senter and his bride on their way to chapel, accompa-
nied by such a paranymph as Lord John Russell's
bill prescribes, we have no doubt that with equal, and
as just, surprise, he will ejaculate—" Why, thee ben't
going to take they fine folk to workhouse, beest thee,
Measter Pinchpauper
This evening Mr. Hawes is to present the petition
Of the architects, who pray for a public exhibition of
all the designs and plans of the new Houses of Par-
liament which had been sent in to the Commissioners..
We stated the other day that Mr. Hawes had deferred
the presenting the petition in consequence of commu-
nications between Lord Duncannon and the architects
which it was hoped would have rendered the presenta-
tion of it unnecessary. But, although Government
have consented to allow the architects to make use of
the National Gallery for the purpose of the exhibition,
no promise has yet been obtained that the successful
will be allowed to be exhibited along with the
others. We said before, and we repeat it now, that a
mere exhibition of the rejected designs, without any
opportunity of comparing them with the successful ones ,
is not what the public wants, nor is it what ought to
satisfy any architect who has a feeling of honourable
ambition, or a regard for the respectability of his art.
To say the least of it, we think the Commissioners
acted with unjustifiable precipitancy in having the col-
lection broken up and dispersed- before their report was
presented to and approved of by Parliament. A Mor-
ning Contemporary alludes to suspicions of unfairness
and partiality having got abroad, and endeavours to
account for such suspicions, on the ground of there
being so many disappointed candidates. If those sus-
picions aregroundless, the best way to silence them,
and. to vindicate the propriety of the decision of the
Commissioners, is to allow all the designs to be exhibited
to the public. The people themselves will then have an
opportunity of comparing the merits of the several plans,
and ratifying the decision, if it has been, indeed, the
result of enlightened and impartial judgment. Con-
sidering the impenetrable secrecy which was in-
tended to conceal the names of the competitors, until
the Commissioners should have formed their opinion of
the relative merits of the plans, we cannot but think it
• very strange that the name of the successful compe-
titor should have been known, and even spoken of in
the public Journals, long before the Commissioners
had pronounced their decision. If it can be satisfac-
torily explained, we should like to see such an inquiry
promoted as will lead to that explanation. The
people have.a right to see all the designs, more espe-
cially those which have been adjudged the premiums,
for the people will have to pay for them, as well as pay
for the building of the new Houses. Let us not hear
either of any plan being thrust upon the nation, which
from its fanciful decorations may cost the country
1,000,0001. of money, when a design combining all
the purposes of utility, ornament, and grandeur, may
possibly be had for 300,0001. We called for public
competition originally ; we wish to see it properly car-
ried out to the national benefit.—Morning Herald.
The proceedings at the dinner of the Conservative
Association of the borough of Finsbury, a report of
which appears in another part of our Paper, will be
read with great interest and unqualified satisfaction by
ail classes of Conservatives; The speech of Lord
Mahon, who occupied the Chair, as President of the
Society, was one of the most able, judicious, and use-
ful addresses that we recollect to have ever heard upon
any similar occasion. The view taken by his Lord-
ship of the actual state of public affairs, and of the
character, position, and objects of the various parties
into which the political world is divided, appears to us
to be calm, moderate, and just. The Noble Lord
exulted to perceive among the good Conservatives by
whom he was surrounded many Dissenters, many
Roman Catholics, many honest anti consistent Re-
formers ; and he showed with a force of language and
of argument which we will not impair by any attempt
at repetition or imitation, that the well-meaning, and
public-spirited, and intelligent portion of all these
classes had taken their right place in political and
social life, when they united themselves to the Asso-
ciation over which his Lordship so ably presides. We
• will not further detain our readers from the perusal of
one of the nnst gratifying and instructive reports that it
has ever been our lot to lay before them.—Morn. Post.
It is generally suspected that Ministers will resort to
some artifice on Tuesday night to bring off their ally
and protector, Mr. O'Connell, by fettering or by pack-
ing the Committee, the appointment of which they
dare not openly oppose. Those Members of the
House of Commons, therefore, who are of opinion
that corrupt and unconstitutional practices ought not to
be tolerated and encouraged, merely because they happen
to be adopted by men who are loud and vehement pro-
fessors of the theoretical principles of Reform, will
take care, to be present en Tuesday night, to frustrate
any contrivance of the character to which we have al-
luded. The Ministry has been brought by Mr.
O'Connell into 2. deplorable predicament, and yet it
cannot afford to cast him off.. We, therefore, warn the
Constitutional Members of the House of Commons
that no scheme will be thought too desperate, provided
it seems to present the least probability that the Admi-
nistration may, by its means, be extricated from the
difficult and humiliating embarrassment in which the
o.'Conncll alliance has involved them.—Morning Post.
The pressure of Parliamentary and other domestic
matter has prevented us from noticing sooner the im-
portant disclosures and discussions thereon which have
appeared in the mole recent numbers of the Portfolio.
But as these disclosures, in the progress of their pub-
lication, assume a more and more interesting character,
and though treating of things- distant,. involve consi-
derations most iital to the welfare and safety of the
nation, we eagerly embrace the present opportunity of
.n claum s,„ r for them the most serious attention of the
hepublic. 1' evidences adduced of the aggressive in-
tentions of Russia are so numerous and
varied, and
corroborated by so many acts of positive encroachment,
conquest; or hostility on the States around her, that
it has now become imperative as a matter of self-
preservation to take measures for checking her advances
and counteracting her designs. Russia has hitherto'
found us apathetic, ignorant, and timid—we must
now become active, intelligent, and bold. In Nos.

.The priority due to the military question," observes
the Count, " and the influence which it must infalli-
bly exercise over all the others, has determined me to
treat it exclusively, for I should in some measure have
been fearful to weaken it, had I united it with politics
of which ultimately it is the influencing cause." The
question whether Austria will dare to attack Russia is
thus canvassed:—

" It is not in foreign combinations, M. le Compte: that I
will seek this rule, but in the measures and internal resources
of the empire. The Emperor, our August Master, ascended
the throne at a time when Russia enjoyed great consideration,
and this consideration is vi6ibly augmented since his fortunate
accession. The blackest and most dangerous conspiracy
arrested by his courage, and punished according to justice,
tcmcered by clemency and humanity. The Turks brought
to sign the Convention of Akermann. Persia vanquished and
rendered tributary in consequence of her provocations. Eng
land and France anxious to find a means of termination (to
the satisfaction of—his IMijesty) to the troubles in Greece—
Prince 4letternich having no other resource than malice and
intrigue, and Prussia strengthening the ties of blood by those
of policy."

" It is not the wish of the Chancellor of the Court and
State, nor that of the Austrian public, which we have to guess
at ; it has shewn itself sufficiently hostile, to relieve us from
all doubts in that respect. When they rejoice that the plague
mows down the Russian army: when, in their eyes, there arc
never scourges enough in nature, nor sufficient means of in-
jury in the enemy, to satisfy their hatred, we are dispensed
from interpreting the sentiments of those who do not fear to
profess them, and to manifeSt them without resesve. The
best guarantee that we can have for arresting thdm, and com-
bating their influence, is ourselves;—it is in our energy, in the
force, the direction, and the correction of our resolutions and
our measures, that we havo to seek our security. The pa-
triotism, the position, and the resources of the empire, are
equal to all. Let them be evoked ; let them be exerted with
order and capacity,—and the policy of Europe will cease to
offer problems for our solution ; should that of our enemies
become as tractable then as it now is haughty, because it in-
dulges in magnifying our losses, underrating our talents, and
discreding our means."
There is a mistake in the concluding sentence of
this translation, important so far as it makes the state-
ment contingent, which is positive in the original.
Instead of " should that of our enemies, &c., the
original has it "we shall see (nous verrons) " that
of our enemies," &c. This deserves attention, as it
shows the confidence which Russia entertains 'of suc-
cess if she be only allowed time to organise her means ;
and it proves still more the necessity on our part of a
prompt and vigorous interference. " Let the resources
of the empire be evoked and exercised with order and
capacity," says the Count, " and Europe has no al-
ternative but submisSion." It is time we should decide
whether to anticipate the shock or wait quiescently the
accumulation of materials by the enemy, which will
make the explosion more terribly destructive. We do
not advocate an appeal to arms—we wish not to strike,
but to be ready to strike, and we would impress on the
Government and. the country the maxim ostendite
bellunz, pacein habebis. We may even now do by ne-
gotiation what in a little time the utmost efforts of the
intellectual and physical powers of England and
England's allies may find it difficult to accomplish. By
the hold which we at present have on Russia through
her commerce we could easily check her career at our
discretion ; but of this hereafter. In the article on
Sclavonian populations the following exposition is
given of the true moral of the infamous speech at
Warsaw :

" I have prohibited your sons as those of the Russians from
studying at German Universities, and even from travelling
abroad, that they may not be infected with foreign principles.
Ye arc not Poles any longer, but Sclavonians, fellow-brethren
of the Russians. This I speak to you as Emperor of all the
Russias, and I shall loon speak to you, and to the rest of your
Sclavonian brethren, as Sovereign of the whole of Sclavonia.
Know the ambition of Russia, which is also mine t She bears
in herself the germ of her greatness. From a Duchy of Mus-
covy she became a Czardom—she conquered the adjacent free
towns and dukedoms ; her Czars have re-incorporated all the
Russias, and have assumed the name of Emperor of all the
Russias, a little corresponding with the extent of their doMi-
nions, and that of Autocrat corresponding with the nature of
their unlimited power. My brother has re-conquered Poland,
and it is an inheritance of the great family, of which I am the
head—not to lose it, not to lose an inch of what bad once be-
longed to Russia. Believe me, it is a real happiness to belong
to Russia, and to enjoy its protection."
The enjoyment of this protection is thus explained :
" The happiness of belonging to it is conferred on Poland,
Courland, Finland, Georgia, &c. The happiness of protection
is extended to Wallachia, Moldavia, Servia, Greece, Egypt,
Turkey, Persia, Sweden, and Prussia, and through Prussia to
the German States ; the dangers of non-protection are poured
on Austria, and are preparing for France and England. Car-
lists in France, Carlists in Spain, a King in Holland, Poten-
tates in Italy, invoke that protection from afar—this is the re-
sult of twenty years of peace and progress. What will be the
state of Europe with tea years more of such peace and of such
progression ?"
The concluding part of this article is devoted to the
exposure of the fallacies promulgated by the Augsburg
Gazette, respecting the inadequacy of the resources of
Russia ; but as we have already protested against these
fallacies on their republication in this country, we shall
not now dwell upon the subject. It seems to be the
policy of Austria to underrate the power of Russia, the
object of which policy may be derived from the follow-
. ~
.ing extract, respecting a similar proceeding between
Russia and. Poland :
" The Poles, in the view of engaging Europe in supporting
them, have systematically underrated the strength of Russia.
The Russians, through vain glory, which coincided with their
hue policy, systematically underrated the strength of the
Poles ; thus the tendency of all Sclavonian reports has been
to lower the estimate of both in the eyes of Europe ; however
that the parties were very equally matched only v.-oyes the
chance which Europe has lost, and the vast accession of strength
which Russia has (-rained • and so equal were the chances of
success, that on the very day that Warsaw fell, the secretary of
Tatichieff, the Russian Ambassador at Vienna, arrived at
Warsaw, the bearer of joint overtures from the Russian nii.s-
sion and from Prince Metternich, to ate provisional Govern-
ment of Poland ; the object of which was the establishment of a
Polish kingdom under a prince net of the Russian family; al-
though this fact has never been made public before, we vouch
for its authenticity."
We have before adverted to the fact alluded to at
the conclusion of this extract. Our limits curtail our
commentary, but we shall resume the subject, leaving
for the present the following to speak for itself
" Russia's aggressive means are not to be calculated by her
armies—probably her last warlike struggle is over. The
Turkish war, the Polish war have closed for her the double
gates of the Temple of Janus. Turkey site will now acquire
if it so falls without war—then Persia, &c., without a blow
westward—Sweden will come in without war—the German
Diet will seek her protectorate—the gradual disorganization
of Austria and Frussia will be spoken of as Turkey's .• in-
ternal political dissolution." The Sclavonians of all these
kingdoms will revert to her of their own movement ; so that
now all her objects, and the objects that might appear most
visionary and remote, are to be reached without the use of
armies, and without war.

" On the other hand she has no war to fear against herself :
—she had to tremble when indeed the Ottoman stood up in
arms, and almost threw her on her back. She had again to
tremble when Poland arose, seized and almost secured half of
her Selavonic heart ; but Now what has she to fear? No
warlike disposition in ally part of Europe—no power of resis-
tance in any of her neighbours. Look at her frontier all
around from Lapland to china, no where will you see political
or physical positions of aggression
,against her—every where
in fact you will find her aggressive.' —Morning Advertiser.

The Turks are in a state of exeitament against
Russia, and every thing that is Russian, which could no more
be described than it can be concealed. They have one and all
(I speak of the ministers and grandees,) been reading a trans-
lation of the famous pamphlet, " England and France, Russia
and Turkey," and whilst they are in raptures at the way in
which their cause has been advocated by the English press in
general, they are burning to be revenged on the treacherous
Russians, whose every step here announces their insidious de-
signs, and strengthens their deadly hatred. They see, also,
in all its deformity, the connection between Russia and Mehe-
met Ali, and many exclaim, " Inshallah our Effendi (the
Sultan) will bring out the Sandjak Sherif, arid call every
Mussulman to arms to punish these Mescovpezevenks."—

The weather this district for the last ten days
