SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS.

Lord Alrhorp last night manifested a determine•
tion to enforce, by some distinct and binding rule
of the House of Commons, a more effective treat-
ment of the Reform Bill than certain Members of a
certain party have hitherto permitted it to receive.
His Lordship proposed that the Reform question
should, by a resolution of the House, have pre-
cedence over all other subjects, 'tvery day in the
week except Saturday, which was to be given up
to petitions. Mr. Wynn, and after him Mr. Goul-
burn and Sir Robert Peel, exclaimed against this
as a shocking precedent, but yielded so far as to
consent that au understanding should be substituted

for a positive order. And as Lord Althorp wished
only to gain his point by fair means, if practicable,
his Lordship agreed that it should be a matter
of tacit conviction for the Reform Bill to occupy
the House every day from five o'clock onwards.
Thus is another step gained in favour of the country.
There were topics touched upon by Sir R. Peel
(who waxed warm on the occasion), on which we
may shortly deem it worth our while to present some
observations to his notice, as we shall feel it expe-
dient likewise to advert to the case of Mr. Bingham
Baring, and to the language of the elder Baring,
who has entitled himself to the same species of re-
mark from us, which " Sir Candour" and one or
two other Members of the Honourable House have
not deemed it imprudent to challenge, by the tone
of their allusions to the daily press. In the mean
time, with reference to Mr. Bingham Baring's case
last night, we shall merely say, that if he thinks
the opinion of the House, founded on irresponsible
statements, can, in the public mind, outbalance the
effect of a solemn trial of facts proved by sworn tes-
timony, he ascribes u power to the decisions of
Parliament which neither the law nor the Consti-
tution recognizes. At present, we have not room
to discuss the subject, but our readers should look
at the letter of Mr. Deacle's attorney in another
column, which shows that Mr. Baring had ample
notice of the case to be proved against him ; and we
submit to consideration the following extracts from
Mr. B. Baring's letter, published in the Times of
Monday last :

EXTRACTS FROM MR. RINGMAM BARING'S CORRECTED

LETTER IN THE TIMES OF MONDAY.

4, 1. We entered and found that the constable had made
no progress in the execution of his warrant.
" 2. When I first saw Mr. and Mrs. Deacle, I found
the handcuffing had taken place.
" 3. Mr. Deacle in the mean time had more than once
attempted to take hold of the reins. I warned him re-
peatedly to desist, and on doing so for the last time, I may
have touched him with my stick.
44 4. It is fair to add, that no attempt at escape was at
any time made by Mr. Deacle, and although the state of the
country rendered caution necessary, his conduct throughout
was orderly and submissive.
We are not sure that we understand Mr. A.
Baring, when he talks of newspapers " libelling
and slandering Mr. B. Baring." Does he mean
that the trial (for we stated nothing which was not
in the reported trial) was falsely reported, or that a
proceeding in a court of justice is in itself a slander-
ous proceeding ? Mr. Baring is frequently not very
explicit, and his language on this occasion is cer-
tainly not more than usually intelligible. We come
now to more agreeable matter. The work of cleans-
ing the House of Commons proceeded last night
with steady, though not with rapid motion. Down-
ton, which at the suggestion of its disinterested
owner, Lord Radnor, had, contrary to the inten-
tions of Ministers, been transferred from schedule
Bto schedule A, was disfranchised by a majority
of only 30. Dunwich anti Eye fell unheeded, like
