FROM A CORRESPONDENT.—We have authority
in stating, a public general meeting will be immediately con-
vened at Willis's Rooms, King's-street, for the purpose of
taking into consideration the purposed site of the House of
Commons, and presenting an address to Parliament, praying
it to change the purposed site for one more convenient and
salubrious. The subject is national and important, and it is
expected the meeting will be most numerously and respectably
attended.

The friends of Ireland resident in London entertain
Mr. O'Connell to a public dinner on Wednesday. General
Evans will take the chair. The list of Stewards consists of
sixty gentlemen, twelve of whom are Members of Parliament.
Sir Francis Burdett has consented to exhibit himself
fur the amusement of a society calling themselves ‘, the
Leeds Operative Conservative Association." Day appointed
for the performance, Easter Monday. Admission, Half-a-
crown.

THE SPOTTISWOODE CONSPIRACY..—A meeting
was held at the Royal Hotel on Monday, to originate a sub-
scription for the purpose of resisting this shameful conspiracy.
The attendance was very thin, but several subscriptions were
announced; and a Committee was formed to solicit contribu-
tions.—Liverpool Telegraph.
MRS. TROLLOPS IN VIENNA.—NO author has
been so successful in sketching the state of society the
habits—the peculiarities, whether ludicrous or otherwise, of
foreign nations as Mrs. Trollope ; witness her " Domestic
Manners of the Americans," and her " Paris and the Pa-
risians," in both of which works her quickness of observation._
her wit, and rich humour, were conspicuous. The theme et
her forthcoming work, is a more than usually happy one. It
is called " Vienna and the Austrians." In Vienna may
found a greater diversity of inhabitants, and more striking
contrasts of manner, than are presented in any other European
c ty. These will form materials in the treatment of which act
genius of Mrs. Trollope will revel.
ale , kJ' speci.:s culnmonly d‘signated F:rl-
nor (Balona Musculus), was driven on shore last week, near
Lopness, island of Sanday. It measured upwards of 70 feet
in length, and of course is her Majesty's property.

This celebrated valley, which the poets—and indeed many
travellers too, more imaginative than the poets themselves
—always led us to believe was a perfect Paradise ; where
the air was perfumed with the breath of a thousand aro-
matic shrubs and flowers ; where the rivers and lakes and
streamlets were overshadowed by the most 'prolific fruit
trees ; where the " bulbul" sang her " amorous descant"
the live-long night ; and where the women were all as
lovely as Houris—this valley, thus embellished from time
immemorial with the most glowing tints of fancy, and asso-
ciated in European minds with ideas of perfect scenic grace
and beauty, is, it seems, a very pig-stye of a place, " a land
of beggars, scoundrels, and bandits, and in its present state
surpassing all imaginable poverty !" To make matters
worse, Mr. Moorcroft represents the fair natives of Cash-
mire as having as much brass in their faces as would make
a tea-kettle ; while, as regards the males, so far from their
bearing any resemblance to Mr. Moore's romantic and
susceptible heroes, they are remarkable only for their
matter-of-fact turn of mind. " If they have any de-
cided genius," says our traveller, " it is for manufactures
and commerce, but their transactions are always conducted
in a fraudulent spirit, equalled only by the effrontery with
which they face detection." Here is a stunning shock to
the imagination I Think of the lover of the " fair Nour-
mahal" being nothing better than a " scoundrel operative,"
and swearing, not by his mistress's bright eyes, but like a
Cheapside tailor, by his ledger! With regard to the city
of Cashmire, which the Oriental writers have described as
abounding in fine palaces, where Princes and Nobles vied
with each other, like " Egypt with Assyria," in splendour
and luxury, " it is a complicated labyrinth of narrow, dirty
lanes, scarcely broad enough for a single cart to pass, badly
paved, and having a small gutter in the centre, full of filth.
The houses are mostly in a neglected and ruinous condi-
tion, with broken doors, or no doors at ail ; with windows
stopped up with boards, paper, or rags ; walls out of the
perpendicular, and pitched roofs threatening to fall." We
would advise all those young readers whose imaginations
may be full of Moore's gorgeous and elaborate descriptions
of the vale of Cashmire and its city, to read this review of
Mr. Moorcroft's travels, which will act on them as a whole-
some sedative. " Memorials of Oxford" is a lengthy no-
tice—far too much so—of Dr. Ingram's illustrated work on
this subject, in the course of which the Reviewer makes,
what he calls, a reply to the charges so often urged against
the University of bigotry and intolerance.

" The first charge," he observes, " which is made against the Uni-
versity of Oxford, and from which Cambridge is very often exempted, is
that of a blind, bigoted adherence to old institutions. Bigotry is a hard
word, and in the present day a very common word ; but the answer to
such an accusation is, not to deny a reverence for antiquity, or a firm un-
shaken confidence in fundamental truths, but to distinguish between a
blind, thoughtless, violent maintenance of doctrines and practices, and
an attachment to them equally firm, but sanctioned by reason. All be-
lief in truth is, at the present day, stamped as bigotry, and under such
a maxim the University of Oxford must be bigoted. She maintains,
and has maintained for centuries, the great truths of Christianity as the
tbundation of all her system. She has adhered unshakingly to the Ca•
tholic Church in her worst perils : she has not departed from old ways
and hereditary principles, as if every thing true was new, and every
thing new was true she has supported old forms of government as sanc-
tioned by God, while others are the creation of men, and not of the best
of men • she restricts and regulates her teaching by old maxims of cdu•
cation, as supported by the authority of experience : she employs old
writers to discipline the minds of the young, and old institutions to over-
rule their natural petulance and conceit. And all this has been done
firmly and unhesitatingly, without any profession of distrust in the wis-
dom of the course, or any avowal of a wish to change for the sake of
t 1). ange. In this sense of the word bigotry, the University of Oxford is
bigoted; and it will indeed be an evil day to the country and to the
Church when she ceases to be so."

This is not an answer to, but an ingenious, sophistical
evasion of, the charge that Oxford is characterised by a
blind, bigoted adherenCe to old institutions. It does not
disprove the notorious facts that she is an enemy to all im-
provement ; that her politics are those of a century past ;
and that, in her Protestantism, she is intolerant and un-
charitable, as the recent case of Dr. Hampden has fully
established. The Reviewer makes no direct reply to these
'Pfeifle charges, which have been brought forward a hun-
dred times against the University, but contents himself
With putting the best face upon them, as one who is well
aware that he has but a rotten cause to maintain. The
article is cleverly written in point of style, with much as-
sumption of manner, and with a determination to look only
tootle side of the question. In the article entitled " Ver-
sailles," which ridicules and condemns, en masse, the nu-
merous pictorial and architectural alterations that Louis
Phillippe has lately made in that splendid building, the
Reviewer goes out of his way for the purpose of reviving a
6g-exploded calumny against Lafayette. "On the fatal
sx.th of October," says he, " in the year 1789, when Louis
the Sixteenth and his family were fcrced to abandon Ver-
sailles, Lafayette and his Parisian army—who had followed
the mob, under pretence of restraining, but really to en-
courage and protect them—though they were too good
citizens to attempt to save the King and Queen from vio-
lence and captivity, or their faithful servants from massacre,
wereyet strong enough to preserve the Palace, and even the
furniture, from injury." This sentence, brief as it is, con-
tains two most flagrant mis-statements. In the first place,
Lafayette had not the slightest share in encouraging and
protecting the mob ; but, on the contrary, left Paris for
the express purpose of keeping them in check, which he
°fleeted, till late at night, when a sudden outbreak having
taken place, while he was snatching an hour or so's repose,
after having been wholly exhausted by three or four nights,
Incessant application to business, he hastened to the Palace
where the mob were rioting, and by his own personal exer-
tions, and at the risk of his life—and what lie loved quite
as well, his popularity—succeeded in saving the Royal
family, as they themselves were the first publicly to ac-
knowledge 1 Secondly, the " King and Queen" were not
Placed in a state of captivity—not till long afterwards,
when the vacillating conduct of Louis induced all parties
equally to distrust him. Lafayette was incapable of
Playing a double game in politics. He was the very
antipodes of cunning or treachery. The very defects
(Ibis nature prevented him from being an intriguer ; and
for his high and chivalrous sense of honour, his long impri-
enment in the Austrian dungeon is a voucher that there is
tle gainsaying. " Welcome and Farewell" is a terse and
flattering notice of a tragedy, " printed only for private
circulation," by the Rev. Mr. Harness. As it is now-a-
days becoming the fashion to print in this shy and modest
Manner, we suppose we shall soon have all our dramatists
printing only for private circulation," and at the " request
of friends." The idea is an ingenious one—but not novel ;
for Sheridan, in the Critic, has already recommended it, and
appropriately called it " the Puff Preliminary." Mr.
Harness's tragedy is a very amiable and inoffensive
Production, and may be read without any fear

SHE
SIEGE OF ANTWERP. A TRAGEDY.
Moxon, London, 1838.
b The
plot of this drama is as simple and natural as needs
ae' "d may be told in a few lines. Frederick Giambelli,
young Florentine of an ardent and elevated character,
qof endowed with rare military talents, is engaged in the
Ellee of Antwerp, at the period when it is besieged by
7 Prince of Parma, Commander-in-Chief of the Spanish
el.°°PB in the Netherlands. Previous to this, Giambelli
el married Cassilda Nunez, daug•nter of an officer in the
rniianY of the besiegers—a beautiful and lofty-minded Casti-
4,,'_.who has sacrificed friends, country, relatives, and all
v;gthultii?us hopes for her husband, and shares ungrudgingly
g, 'um the worst fatigues and horrors of war. The play
sivith a brief dialogue between two soldiers, descriptive
,!" state' ate of Antwerp. It is reduced to the last extre-
. f7rtj; the Spaniards are in possession of all the adjacent
8 ; and the citizens' only chance of deliverance lies in a

" GIAMBELLI.—You mean well, St. Aldegonde,
And giving you full credit for kind wishes,
I would with the like temper intimate
That there are wounds so exquisite of sense—
So intersected with fine filaments,
Trembling with life from feeling's inmost core,
That even from friendship's most assuasive touch—
Yea, from its lightest, balmiest breath—they shrink
As from a burning brand I For the lady,
It lately was my pride to call my wife,
I should belie conviction, if I yoked
The name she bears to any gross suspicion!
I thought I had the perfect sovereignty—
The free, unpurchased homage of her mind—
'Tis gone
ST. ALDEGONDL—Might not mutual explanation—
GlAmninta.—What is there to explain ? Cassilda Nunea
Hath passedfroin out the portal of my heart,
And the door's shut for ever."

This is beautifully and gracefully expressed, especially
the lines marked in italics, but it is not in character. An
ardent and ambitious nature thirsting. for renown in the
world's eye, living but in the hope of obtaining it, and stak-
ing its all on the success or otherwise of one grand, ori-
ginal, and long-cherished project, would not, when its last
fond hopes were crushed for ever—and this by the secret
agency of one whom it thought was a kindred spirit—ex-
press its sense of anguish in such quiet, polished language
as Mr. Kennedy has here employed. Deep feeling has no
taste for tropes or metaphors. It is concise, simple—we
might almost add—matter-of-fact, in style ; and turns away
with indifference from the pretty flowers that spring up on
the lower slopes of Parnassus. It never expatiates, or de-
claims, or consults niceties of phrase, as Lear and Timcn
have long since proved. This is the sole objection we make to
the " Siege of Antwerp"—an objection, by the bye, which
only applies to it as a tragedy. If we call it instead a dra-
matic poem, we have no fault to find with it ; for it is uni-
formly animated, graceful, and elegant in expression, and
full of that tender, chastened sensibility which the majority
are quite ready to accept as a substitute for deeper passion.
The following passage, in which Cassilda describes her
husband, is as beautiful as anything that the modern drama
can show :

" The world to me is changed;
I have a dream of days in Old Castile—
Light, fleeting girlish days—with lute and sung
Made musical! Their spring tide sun has set—
Now lightning burns above me—yet I breathe
No sigh for pleasures past ! Men speak of stars
Which influence their being—Frederick
Is the whole host of ruling orbs to me!
Time may obscure his lustre—angry gusts
Shake his domestic sphere—nights of eclipse
May come—the harbingers of total gloom—
But nought in life's distempered calendar
Can ever dim the beauty of his presence
In my affection's temple—
Where'cr his shadow falls, there lies my country !"

The " Siege of Antwerp" is dedicated to the Earl of
Durham in a manly, dignified, and unaffected spirit. It is its
author's best production ; is superior in simplicity of design
and vigour of execution to the " Duchess de la Vallicre,"
and quite on a par with " Ion." Mr. Kennedy must try
his hand again at the drama, and not fear to give full play
to his feelings. Let him place faith in them, and they will
not lead him astray. But to take fright at one's own strong
impulses, and hesitate to speak out from an apprehension
of overdoing passion, and running into exaggeration, is not
the way to succeed either in love or in literature.

NARRATIVE OF THE RESIDENCE OF THE
PERSIAN PRINCES IN LONDON. 2 Mors.

London, Bentley, 1838.

We commenced this work iu the confident expectation of
being much amused with it ; and our expectations have
not been disappointed. It abounds in every page in the
raciest touches of character ; and affords another striking
proof of the truth of Byron's well-known adage, that
" truth is strange, stranger than fiction." The author is
Mr. Fraser—whose impressive oriental tale of the " Kuz-
zilbash," we remember reading some years since with great
interest, and he here records the proceedings, from day to
day, of the three Persian Princes, during their three months'
residence among the fashionable circles of London. These
scions of royalty are, it seems, cousins to the reigning king
of Persia, but having taken an active part in a rebellion
against him, they were defeated, and compelled to fly their
country. After enduring a world of privations, and en-
countering many romantic adventures in the course of
their flight over the Arabian deserts, they contrived to reach
Damascus, where, after taking counsel of each other, they
resolved to cross the seas, and throw themselves on the pro-
tection of the British Government. They did so, and were
received with a hearty welcome, all classes in London vie-
ing with each other in their attention to the royal exiles.
Mr. Fraser, who was appointed to act as their cicerone, and
give them au insight into the nature of our Western cus-
toms, seems. to have played his part—which he tells us
occasioned him frequent annoyance and uneasiness—with
great judgment ; and has furnished us with many vivid,
characteristic details of the impressions made on the Princes
by the sight of the thronged streets—the glittering shops—
the fashionable parties—and public exhibitions of the Metro-
polis. They were not, it appears, much struck with the
splendour of the numerous gay entertainments to which they
were invited ; but the beauty of our young Englishwomen
called forth (and no wonder !) their warmest admiration.
They were never weary of paying compliments to those
ladies who struck their fancy ; and, in return, they seem to
have been very generally admired by the fair sex. The
youngest, in particular, Timour Meerza, wanted nothing
but a little more English, to make him a thorough lady-
killer. Ile was lively, handsome, frank, and fearless in his
manners ; and had he remained much longer at the West-
end, who knows, with his fine expressive eyes, and graceful
bearing, but he might have brought himself under the par-
ticular notice of Doctors' Commons ? Among the public ex-
hibitions which most struck the Persian Princes, was Madame
Tussaud's wax-work ; and, next to this, the painted Pano-
rama of London in the Colosseum, which they thought in-
finitely more natural and beautiful than the real panorama
from the summit of the building! They were also delighted
with a review in Hyde Park ; but fell asleep over the music
at the Opera ; and pronounced the military combats at
Astley's a perfect failure. It is gratifying to record that,
like all men of sense, they were fond of good eating and
drinking ; quaffed -their Champagne with a good will
and energy anything but Mahometan ; and had a most royal
aversion to putting themselves out of the way for the sake
of etiquette. At the expiration 'of three months, they
quitted London, and set out for Constantinople, whither
Mr. Frazer accompanied them, and where ho takes
leave of them. Unfortunately,' eve have no space for
extracts, or we should make several, for the book
eboends in quotable materials. One amusing incident
however, we must not omit. Having bee❑ told that it
the custom in England for gentlemen to rise from their seats
when visitors enter their rooms, the Persian. Princes, anxious

" On all things created remaineth the half-effaced image of God,
Somewhat of fair and good, though blotted by the finger of Corruption.
There is truth in the wildest scheme that imaginative heat hath en-

gendered ;
And a man may gather pomewhat from the crudest theories of fancy.
The Alchymist laboureth in fully, but catcheth chance gleams of Wisdom,
And fir:cloth out many inventions, though his crucible breed not gold.
Verily, there is nothing so true, that the damps of error hare not

- - ----- —•
warped it. -
Verily, there is nothing so false, that a sparkle of truth is not in it."

Among the many theories advanced by divines to prove
how much it is the interest of mankind to love and deal
charitdbly with one another, we never met with any which
we would rather persuade ourselves was true than the fol-

lowing :
" Moreover, a moral compensation reacheth to the secrecy of thoughtr:
For if thou wilt think evil of thy neighbour, soon shalt thou have him for
thy fue ;
And yet he may know nothing of the cause that maketh thee distasteful
to his soul—
The cause of unkind suspicion, for which thou bast thy punishment:
And if thou think of him in charity, wishing or praying for his weal,
He shall not guess the secret charm that lureth his soul to love thee."

The extract with which we are about to conclude our
notice of this singular volume is common-place, with the ex-
ception of the ideas embodied in the first -and fourth lines.
These ideas are equally striking and just :
" Blunted unto goodness is the heart, which anger never stirreth,
But that which hatreil swelleth is keen to carve out evil.
Anger is a noble infirmity, the generous failing of the just,
The one degree that riseth above zeal, asserting the prerogatives of

virtue ;
But hatred is a slow continuing crime, a fire'in the bad man's breast;
A dull and hungry flame, for ever craving, insatiate.
Hatred would harm another : Anger would indulge itself.
Hatred is a simmering poison : Anger the opening of a valve.
Hatred is the atmosphere of Hell ; but Anger is known in Heaven.
Beware of the Angry in his passion ; but fear not to approach hint

afterward:
For if thou acknowledp thine error, he himself will be tarry for his

wrath.
Beware of the hater in his coolness; for he meditateth evil against thee:
Commending the resources of his mind calmly to work thy ruin.

RELIGIOUS HISTORY OF MAN.
Morison, London, 1833.

The author of this work is Mr. Morison, who tells us, in
his dedication to the Queen, that the inquiries contained
in it, " though now condensed, have furnished delightful
relaxation through the vicissitudes of a busy life, and during
a long series of years." Now we cannot agree with Mr.
Morison that his work is " condensed ;" on the contrary,
it is in many places singularly diffuse, and full of repetitions
of the same thought only differently expressed. As, Low-
ever, it is written with the best intentions, and displays
throughout a spirit of unaffected piety, we will not bear tr 0
hardly upon it, but content ourselves with the expression
of a hope that its success may be such as to answer it,
author's expectations.

OBSERVATIOINS ON THE IRISHPOOR LAW
BILL.
Ridgway and Sons.

This pamphlet, which is, we understand, from the pen
of Sir William Brabazon, M.P. for Mayo, contains some
sound and judicious remarks upon the Poor Law Bill now
before Parliament, and forcibly points out its inadequacy as
a remedy for the pauperism with which Ireland is unhappily
overspread. While we admit the difficulty which Minis_
ters hare had to contend with, in framing a measure of this
nature for a country so peculiarly circumstanced, we must
regret that they have not availed themsels es more largely
of the opinions of those, whose constant residence and inti-
mate practical acquaintance with the condition and feelings
of the Irish peasantry would have enhanced the value of
their suggestions. We recommend the perusal of Sir
William's pamphlet to all who are interested in this
important question. On the subject of Irish pauperism,
the Hon. Baronet observes :
" There is an erroneous opinion gone abroad as to the distinct nature
of pauperism in Ireland, assimilating it in character to that which
prevails in this country ; whereas it is as dissimilar as any two things
in the world can be. Speaking from a knowledge of my own imme-
diate part of the country, the chief feature of pauperism is that which
takes place in scarce seasons anal high markets, when the humble
cotter or tmaut, from impoverished means, or incapacity to meet the
pressure of the times, shuts up his dwelling, and goes to England or
elsewhere to gain a temporary maintenance. His wife and family are
thus compelled to traverse the country in search of alms for their sus-
tenance, As a necessary consequence, during this period, (of from
six weeks or two months) misery and wretchedness is extensively dif-
fused over the country; but upon the return of the harvest, they again
betake themselves to their homes, and then. generally speaking, povert•
disappears, until a recurrence of similar circumstances. There are few
of those termed paupers who have not some hut or dwelling, and corn
acres or potatoe grounds ; so that, with the exception of local persons,
labouring under infirmity, age, or incapacity to work, poverty is scarcely
visible during the dreary season of winter—a season which, in England,
is most pregnant with pauperism and crime. Are Poor Laws and the
Workhouse System calculated to meet such a case as this ?—Certainly
not. Is not voluntary charity, and that to a wide extent, afforded in
Ireland ?—lt is; and I hare seldom heard it complained of by those
who give it. It is usually administered rather with cheerfulness and
good will, than otherwise ; yet, upon the pressure of this mode of relief
on the community at large is mainly founded the strongest grgurnents
of the advocates of the Bilk'.

Again, with rospect to emigration :—.

" One measure suggested for relieving the distresses of Ireland has
been emigration ; but surely nothing more impolitic, or that would
carry with it more mischief, could be recommended. There are three
millions of Irish acres, equal to flee millions English, In an uncultivated
state. Gifted by nature with extraordinary resources and a most fertile
soil, what could be more injurious than to withdraw the means with
which nature has blessed her, namely, a hardy and laborious population,
which is generally termed the wealth of a country, whilst there is such
an extensive field for improvement on which their energies could be
employed."

FINE ARTS.

NAVY ISLAND.

THE DESTRUCTION OF THE STEAM-BOAT

" CAROLINE."
Acherniann, London, 1838.

These plates give us a very distinct and vivid idea of the
situation of the steam-boat Caroline, when she was set on
fire by the English, and sent down the Falls of Niagara
in a state of conflagration. The sketch of Navy Island is
also very interesting, and is a good specimen of lithographic
engraving.

Wo have just seen a lithographic engraving of Miss
Emma Romer, in the character of Amina, in the opera of
La Sonnambula. The likeness is tolerably correct, but it
is by no means a flattering one. It is published by Gwynne
of St. James's-street.

Last week, at the Assizes at Rennes, an old of-
fender, named Frique, while on his trial, attempted to strangle
himself by turning his own tongue clown his throat, as some-
times practised by the North American Indians. He had very
nearly succeeded, but a medical man was called in in time to
save his life.

An able analysis of the division on Mr. Grote's motion in
another column is well deserving of the attention of Ministers.
With what justice, with what consistency, can any set of men
throw themselves on their political opponents for support in a
case where five-sixths of their own supporters are against
them I What is the meaning, of representative Government,
if the hcadstrongness of one-sixth of a party shall pertina-
ciously insist in forcing their opinions on the rest, and, to
baulk their friends, throw themselves on their opponents I On
what other principle than the sic cob, sic jubeo, can this perti-
nacity, at variance with all our constitutional notions, be justi-
fied ? We blame not Sir Robert Peel. It was a triumph to
him to obtain the support of one-fifth or one-sixth of the Mi-
nisterial party to his own principles. It was for his interest
that the Ministry should desert the great body of their support-
ers. An opponent of the Reform Bill is consistently an oppo-
nent of whatever makes the franchise conferred by the Reform
Bill a reality and not a name. But we regret that the authors
of that Bill should have so little confidence in their own han-
diwork as to deem intimidation and corruption indispensible
to the safe exercise of the franchise. The regret expressed
by the opponents of the Ballot that intimidation and corrup
tion should be resorted to is pure affectation. He that wishes
the end must wish the means. Intimidation and corruption
are the inevitable results of inequalities of property and the
unprotected state of the voters. In the House of Lords
last night, Lord Brougham, on presenting several petitions
in favour of the Ballot, observed, with respect to the di-
vision of Thursday night in the Commons, that " Though,
knowing their Lordships as he did, he might be disposed
to congratulate them on the division, which carried, no
doubt, what appeared to them to be a proper vote, by
a majority of 117, yet he was afraid, and he felt bound
to say it, that another such victory would be their Lord-
ships' ruin. The motion for the Ballot had been supported
by 198, exclusive of the two tellers, which was an addi-
tion of about one-fifth to the whole number of those who
had supported the motion on the last occasion ; and he
must say, that unless their Lordships made up their minds
either to this measure or some measure of the sort for the
protection of electors, the time appeared to him to be come
that at all events their was as large a proportion, even with
the interest of Government against it, of the constituency in
favour of some more effectual protection to be given to the
voter in the exercise of his Elective Franchise ; and he knew
it was equally so in Scotland. If, therefore, some effective
protection was not given, it would be a solitary case within his
experience of a great measure, in which the public interest
was excited to a great degree, going on from year to year
increasing, until at last it reached the climax of a large
number of the constituents and their representatives mar-
shalling themselves in combination in favour of the measure—.
it would, he repeated, be the solitary instance, either in his ex-
perience or, as far as he knew, in history, if such a measure, so
increasing in favour with the people and their representatives,
did not sooner or later become law. The sooner, therefore,
their Lordships made up their minds to some such measure as
this the better it would be for them." Every reflecting person
must agree with the Noble and Learned Lord—that the question
of the Ballot is in reality carried. The sooner, therefore, that
public men make up their minds to the measure the better.
This is not an abstract question, but one which comes home to
men's business and bosoms. Every time that a man sitting
by his own fire-side casts his eyes on his wife and children, he
finds cogent arguments, in his anxiety for them, for this poli-
tical safeguard. Sir Robert Peel is, as we have said, con-
sistent. His speech is a commentary on the observation of the
author of the Conservative pamphlet to which eve alluded on
Thursday, that voting by Ballot being the only way of securing
independent suffrages "is in the abstract the best mode of
voting ;" and that " the real objection to the Ballot is that
the present constituency are not fit to be trusted wiih the inde-
pendent exercise of the elective franchise." Indeed Sir Robert
Peel goes so far as to denounce any tenant who does not
happen to adopt the opinion of his landlord, as " an
ill-conditioned fellow." " There may be some person
here or there," he observes with much naivete, " who
has a grudge against his landlord, who is an ill-
tempered, bad-conditioned fellow, who has read, per-
haps, the last tirade in a Radical newspaper, who will take a
pleasure in voting against his landlord." The tenant insist have
no opinion of his own, but veer round with his landlord. The
liberty allowed to the voter is to be a make-believe liberty.
You may allow the reins to fall loose on the voter's neck, Lit
you must never loose hold of them, so that you may pull him
up when you wish. Sir Robert does not mince the matter.
The constituencies, he says, are Lot to be trusted with inde-
pendence. " I believe that in times of great public excite-
ment and disaster, we could not with safety trust to the
principle that every man—whatever his degree of intelli-
gence—whatever knowledge he may have in public af-
fairs—is equally fit for the exercise of a secret vote in the
State. Your theory is, that any one man is as well cal-
culated to give an opinion, or exercise an authority in
public affairs, as another. But if they give their rotes
publicly you know who are the persons who exercise this au-
therity, whereas in cases of public calamity and excitement,
whenever they may occur, the great mass of the voters, being
freed from all considerations or interest in the property of the
country—enjoying none of those reciprocal feelings of
esteem (I) between landlord and tenant which now exist—
might with great ease put the Ballot to a most disastrous and
fatal test." [The Right Hon. Baronet had just before said
that iu nine cases out of ten'the tenant would be influenced by
his landlord after the Ballot as much as before.] " There
might arrive a time when great delusion shall exist on the
state of public affairs, and a general election take place during
all the excitement consequent on such a state of things ; and I
say that if the Ballot were in operation under circumstances
like these, the institutions of the country would be in great jeo-
pardy and danger. I think we should always be in disasters of this
kind if we were to give the power of secret voting without the pro-
tection which the influence of property at present naturally
exercises." This is all quite natural in the mouth of an op-
ponent of the Reform Bill. Representation with him is a
very good thing ;. but the electors must be bullied or bribed ;
there must be a dependant tenantry-at-will in the counties,
and necessitous freemen in the boroughs, to enable the longest
We must repeat, the enemies of the
purse to carry the day.
Ballot are the enemies of the Reform Bill. The question is
still between virtual and real Representation. Represein
tation under the Reform Bill, without securing the inde-
pendence of the voter, is merely a modification of the
old virtual representation. We are glad to find that the
old defences of the opponents of the Ballot are broken
through, that they
have at last become ashamed of
using deceptions which fail to deceive, and that it
has come at last fairly to this--you, the electors, can-
not be safely left to your independence. When fairly driven
upinto
goingabout the bush—we admit the Ballot would be
effective, and it is because it would be effective that we hate
it ; a bribed and bullied people you are now, and a bribed and
bullied people you shall remain. We dare not trust you. The

A people may be at much more liberty under a pious

Monarch than an impious or unskilful Democracy. The free
chosen of the most when they are bad (as where is it better ?)
may enslave the best; and the awe and interest of the rich is
commonly such upon the people, that a free chosen is some-
whata strance. And, therefore, those persons are enemies to
their country that under that name would advance such kind
of popular interest as is plainly against the interest of Christ."
This is the language of the opponents of the Ballot :—Our
opinions
are the only just opinions, and to allow you to have a
liberty to support any other opinions than ours is not to be
thought of for a moment. Liberty ie a good or an evil as it
is exercised to our mind. They who dread the independence
of the people are on a false scent. If the people are, as they
-,say, generally ignorant,. instruct then

Before one twelvemonth, or perhaps even one Session, shall
have elapsed, we strongly suspect that the liberal opponents of
the Ballot shall find but little cause of congratulation in the
results of the course which they pursued on Thursday night.
The exultation of the Tories, manifested by the cheers with
which they hailed the traitorous dereliction of principle exhi-
bited amongst the pretended Reformers, sounded much like
the yell of fiendish joy which Beelzebub and his associates
may be supposed to have sent forth on beholding the fall of
man. Aed oh I what a fall was here. Men who were
looked upon as the ♦ery soul of Reform to array them-
selves against the measure above all others calculated
to carry out into perfect operation the intent and pur-
pose of the Reform Act ! Well might the Tories cheer
over the suicidal conduct of their opponents I Well might
the genuine friends of Reform grieve over the desertion from
their ranks I But the Ballot, though betrayed in the House
of Commons, will yet be vindicated by the country. It will
not be sufficient at the next election, as at the last, to make a
plausible but deceptive profession, that if intimidation or co
ercion continue, the Ballot, or some similar protection, must
be extended to the electors—nothing will in future satisfy the
the country but a distinct declaration of opinion--fictitious
promises will no longer impose on tho too credulons confidence
of the country_ and when public opinion be appealed to on
the manner in w hich the Ballot was rejected by the House of
Commons, the majority, and an irresistible, overwhelming ma-
jority too, will be found on the opposite side of the ques-
tion. It is really amusing to analyse the professed mo-
tives which influenced some of those who condescended
to explain their grounds of opposition to the Ballot. One
stated that the evil influences put in operation at the
last election originated from peculiar causes, not likely
soon to occur again, and therefore he would not apply " a
permanent remedy to a temporary disease." Simple soul !he
was apprehensive lest the representative or elective principle
should be maintained in a state of too ♦igorous health, and
with considerate vigilance opposed " a permanent remedy to a
temporary disease." And yet other opponents of the Ballot
will assert that it will prove no remedy at all. In fact, if we
were to pursue the arguments of those who opposed Mr.
Grote's motion, we should find them all so contradictory that
we need not look elsewhere for their refutation. As to Sir
Robert Peel's speech, and the eulogy he bestowed on the
conduct of the liberal leader of the House of Commons„xe
shall honour them with a separate article.—Morning Adver-
tiser.

The division on the Ballot question last Thursday evening
is made a subject of ostentatious rejoicing by the Radicals.
Has the Ballot, then, been carried? Not at all, but rejected
by a majority of 3.15 votes to 198. The clatter is not made

is a right. Very well, replies Sir Robert Peel, with sting-
ing pithiness, " So is my seat for Tamworth a right enjoyed
by me ; but will the Hon. Gentleman assert that it is not also
a trust, for the exercise of which lam responsible ?" Again,
says Sir Robert Peel, " If the franchise be not a trust, but a
right, why may I not sell my right, as I may do any other pro-
perty ?" This rejoinder, as it seems to us, might puzzle
sharper wits than Mr. Ward's. Once more, what guarantee does
the ballot-box afford against foul play, by those who have that
talisman of secrecy in their keeping? Who can tell whether the
declaration of the majority is a fair one ? cr that the official
return, upon which, be it remembered, tie can have no check,
is bona fide that of the electors, and not that of the pub-
lic officer, or packed committee of officers, who have the cus-
tody of the wooden palladium of the Constitution, and of its
contents, confided to them ? The subject, so far as concerns
the Ballot itself, is worn out; but with reference to the treat-
ment of that question at the hands of those who were either
counted in, or absent from the division of last Thursday, there
are one or two remarks which it seems advisable to offer. Of
the 315 Members who voted for the rejection of Mr. Grote's
motion, not less than 254 were Conservatives. How many
Whigs, therefore ? Why, arithmetically speaking, about 61.
The Ministers, ostensibly, at least, announced themselves
hostile to the Ballot. Lord J. Russellspoke against it, andspoke
well. Four other Cabinet Ministers voted in the sense in which
their leader spoke. Sir John Hobhouse, who had pledged him-
self in favour of the Ballot, found it necessary on this occa-
sion to show that the resistance to the measure was a Cabinet
resistance, and, so far as depended on him at least, that it wits
not an open question, while other circumstances, and the con-
duct of other official persons, would render such an imputation
very far from extravagant or unreasonable. Mr. P. Thomson
absented himself from the division; so did Mr. E. J. Stanley
(albeit whipper-in and on duty) absent himself, while his
brother voted in the teeth of her Majesty's Government.
The three law officers of the Crown, viz , the two Attornies-
General for England and Ireland. and the Lord Advocate of
Scotland, were one and all absent from a division (on a vital
question) supported formally by the Cabinet which they served
—an occurrence, we presume to say, unparalleled in Parlia-
mentary indecency. So Sir Henry Parnell played the same
shabby game, and did not dare to give a decided vote.
Sir G. Grey, Under Secretary for a high department
of state, representing, with eyes for the most part open, the
sleeping guardian of the colonies, did not vote in support of
Lord John Russell. Suspicious all this, and a great deal
more than suspicious. But there are matters more striking
still. Mr. Bernal, Whig-Radical Chairman of Committees,
Mr. Robert Steuart, a devil of the Treasury, and Sir Hussey
Vivian, of whom we have formerly taken some trifling notice
—ay, Sir Hussey Vivian, Master-General of the Ordnance,
an office of which the occupant has in every preceding in-
stance we believe, but one (viz. that of Sir James Kempt),
been likewise a member of the Cabinet, voted directly, and
we will add audaciously, in the teeth of her Majesty's
Ministers. How was this ? It was not for want of being
gravely and emphatically warned as to the consequences of
the step to which his Cornish coquetries had in a manner
bound him. Now, a great deal depends on the sequel
of the vote given by the Master-General of the Ordnance
in Mr. Grote's favour. Will he be dismissed or not? We
repeat the question—can the Cabinet, with any pretence to
decency, retain this weak-minded, empty-headed personage in
office ? Sir Hussey Vivian had to choose between his con-
nexion with the Cornish Radicals (the gentlemen of that
county have expelled Sic W. Molessvorth for his attachment
to the Ballot) and his obligation to the Queen's Ministers to
vote as they voted upon all great constitutional questions. In
this instance he has proved that he preferred his place on the
hustings to that in Pall-mall. Then we once more interro-
gate Lord Melbourne—will he, after all that has passed, per-
mit Sir Hussey Vivian to remain an hour longer at the head
of the Ordnance Department ? If he does, we tell the Noble i!
Viscount freely, that a shabbier or more despicable trick
was never played before the eyes of the people cf England
—that every man in the empire will proncunce without
hesitation that his Lordship and his Colleagues, under the
mask of Lord John Russell's speech in direct hostility to
the Ballot, will thus, by the non-punishment of their own
refractory placemen, have proved that the Cabinet opposition
to Messrs. Grote and Hume and the Radical rabble, has been
all a contemptible sham,—and their open condemnation of the
Grote nostrum has been counteracted by the secret and un-
derhand encouragement given to their own official servants to
support it; arid that, like most other paesages of their Minis-
terial history, this of their conduct on the Ballot has been a
mean and truckling perfidy. Sir H. Vivian will be the test
of their truth or falsehood. We state these imputations on
the Melbourne Government as results, not absolute at the pre-
sent moment, but contingent on the maintenance of Sir Hussey
Vivian, Mr. R. Steuart, &c., in offices at the complete dis-
posal of the Queen's Ministers. If they be not dismissed
without ceremony, then the whole party policy of the Whigs
is one systematic and most disgusting swindle. We subjoin a
list of the Ministerial voters on the Ballot-Ist, those against
the motion ; 2d, those for the motion ; and 3d, those absent
from the division. What a picture of the unity and principle

" I n dubus homilies spcctare periclis convenit :" and Mr.
Grote's hobby-horslcal exhibition on Thursday evening did
certainly present two of our liberal legislators to our admiring
gaze in characters considerably less contemptible than those
which they generally support in the House of Commons.
Lord John Russell was almost wise, Mr. Bulwer was almost
witty, and both the Honourable and literary Members dis-
played an approximation to manliness which surprised alike
their friends and foes. The " wiselike" tendencies of Lord
John, piercing the murkiness of his pseudo-liberalism, and
neutralizing the nastiness of his Radical associations, shed a
lambent lustre on the Minister which was in a degree reflected
on the man. Indeed, notwithstanding certain characteristic
inilications of a Jim Crowish complexion towards the conclu-
sion of his speech, we should say that never before did Lord
J. Russelltspeak so little like himself, and so much like a states-
man—so little like a mannikin, and so much like a man—as on
this occasion.-But, if edified by the manly and constitutional tone
of Lord John Russell, we were little less than astounded by
the noun-substantive stand-aloneishness of Mr. Bulwer. That
" clever pamphleteer," the most dandified of Legislators, the
most classical of dandies, the most poetical of prose writers,
and most prosaic of poets—that amplification of littleness and
abortion of greatness—that personal and political " mistake"
—that exquisite though exceptionable novelist, the Hon. and
able and quasi-Radical Member for Lincoln, literally "plucked
tip a spirit," and, publicly repudiating place-hunting and po-
litical toady ism, formally proclaimed his preference for "those
honours and emoluments which " might be open to him in an-
other career," " Je vais rentrcr dans ma coquille. Il n'y a
plus nen a faire. Je ne veux plus etre nomme a rien."
Mr. Bulwer seems to be a far-seeing politician as well as
a clever pamphleteer." Whig-Radicalism is just now in the
