ENORNIOUS CARP.—On Thursday morning much
curiosity was excited by the display at the shop of Mr. T.
Grove, fishmonger, of haring-cross, of a prodigious carp, in
very fine condition, and weighing 221b3. It was nearly four
feet in length, and about 30 inches in girth at the belly. It
had been sent up that morning from the estate of a gentleman
in tho vicinity of Hampton, but was unaccompanied by any
explanztion of the mode and ciicumstanees of its beinc, taken.
It does not appear to have been taken by the angle, but was
more probably found in clearing out an old fish pond. The
longevity and extraordinary size to which this fish will attain,
under favourable circumstances, hare long since been neticfd
by naturalists.

The more one reflects upoil !Joni Lyndhurst's speech
on Monday night, in reference to tile Bid for pro-
venting the alienation of the municipal property by the
Irish Corporators, the more outrageous does the
Learned Baron's assertion appear. He did not, for-
sooth, admit the corruptions of the Irish Corpora-
tidns, nor had the House of Lords judicial knowledge
of the fact ! We shall at another time refresh his
Lordship's memory upon the first point, and at the
same time we will jog the recollection of a Tory jour-
nal, which last night out-Lyndhursted Lord Lynd-
hurst. At present we will confine our remarks to the
point of judicial knowledge, upon which the Learned
Baron and the Evening organ of Toryism are at war
with fact. The Corporation of Dublin—the abuses
of which are detailed in disgusting length in the
Report of the Corporation Commissioners—were
sued by the citizens for robbing them of an enor-
mous sum of money in one item—the Metal Main.
A decree was pronounced in favour of the citi-
tizens. The Corporation appealed to the House of
Lords. What was the result? The House of Lords
—Baron Lyndhurst being one of that body at the
•
time—confirmed the decree ; and thus decided, .having
judicial knowledge of the malversation, that the Dub-
lin eoi-porators robbed the citizens of 78,0001.1 Will
Lord Lyndhurst tell us that this was not an abuse ?
Is the plunder of the citizens by the Corporation, to
the amount of 78,0001., no evidence of the corruption
of that body ? This evidence came judicially before
Lord Lyndhurst and his brother Peers. Another evi-
dence of the scandalous corruption of that Corporation
was recently supplied in a Dublin police-office, by one of
the Corporators named M'Cleary. This person having
owed a grocer some money, refused to pay it, and
abused the grocer, in no measured terms, for pre-
suming to ask payment. A wordy altercation ensued,
and this terminated in an assault. The parties went
before the police magistrates, and there M'Cleary re-
peated his charge of ingratitude against the grocer for
demanding payment ; declaring, in proof of the gro-
cer's ingratitude, that he (M'Cleary) procured for him
(the grocer) a lease of his house from the Corpora-
tion, at a rent /egg by 51. a year than the grocer
offered for it ! Did this bring corruption home to the
Corpnrstion, or did it not ? As the Noble and Learned
Baron's propon'd amendments were last night read
pro forma, and ordered Co be printed, we will endea-
vour to convince him, before the measure is disposed
of, that the Corporators of Ireland are flagrantly cor-
rupt, and that they will, if not prevented, alienate and
job away the municipal property, now that they know
their doom.—Morrtzng Chronicle.
The news from Spain will afford another pleasing
paragraph for the King's Speech. What with Lord
Palmerston's triumph over Don Carlos, and Lord
Melbourne's victories in the House a Lords, there

.
will be fruitful topics of congratulation. Wg are, in-
deed, rather cutioto to gee this document, and to con-

trast its survey with the prumitc, foisted into the Royal
mouth some six months back, and the then estimates of

the national position and national prospects. " What
has the Ministry done ?" is now the universal query
from the Land's End to John o' Groat's house. What
are the precious results of this half-a-year of restless
legislation ? There has been no lack of time or oppor-
tunity for achieving and realizing their grand projects of
national amelioration and party jobbing. Why, then, is
the return a barren " nil 1" Because a great constitu-
tional power, which this very Ministry affected to
despise and denounce, haft not only checked them in

leir reckless career, but bas so exposed their incom-

potency, as well as their evil intentions, that they have
become now as despicable from their recognized want
of ability they were before terrible from their sheer
,
want of principle. That these men—that this soi-
disant Ministry of England—should smart and writhe
under the succession of ignominions defeats which
they have experienced during the last three months

in that House of Parliament—on which now rest the
hopes of 'Englishmen, is indeed not marvellous; but
that even these persons, weak and wicked as they
have proved themselves, should still be base and
blundering enough to dare to hope that our gracious
Sovereign, a monarch fortunate in all things save in
being their master, would, at the instigation of their
mortified vanity and dull malice, become the mouth-
piece of their assault upon our popular House of
Peers, displays, in onr opinion, an equal ignorance of
the character of the English Constitution and the
character of our truly English King. Among the
many amiable and admirable qualities of William the
Fourth, there is no trait by which he is more
distinguished than his genuine British spirit. It is the
legacy of his illustrious sire. No arts however sub-
tle, no exigencies however hard and urgent, can, we
are sure, ever make our gracious Sovereign subside
into the tool of a faction, however powerful or how-
ever desperate.. William IV. knows that the King's
name should be a tower of strength, and while he
lives he is resolved that so it shall be recognised.
Although no monarch was ever vet crowned at West-
minster who has made such manifold sacrifices for the

freedom of his subjects, and for the increase of thelf
rights and privileges, still the sceptre of this realm was
never yet clinched by a King who was better ac-
quainted with his own post and power—who was more
completely qualified to exercise his authority, or more
resolved to maintain it. William IV. is the consti-

tutional King of England, and His Majesty has
well studied the great scheme of our free. Government.
The course of circumstances has permitted our gra-
cious Sovereign to become practically acquainted with
the English Constitution. He has himself lived a free

subject among free subjects, and he can appreciate the
value of the kingly office by which he has himself
been protected. William IV. was not brought up in
a seraglio ; and we can tell Lord Viscount Melbourne,
that his Royal Master will not sink into a Doge. If
we mistake not, his Majesty will have had the wis-
dom to seek for a model of regal conduct in the ex-
ample of his Royal Father—of that George 111. whose
name and cherished memory aro still mentioned over
our firesides with a blessing, and whom, in his
manly and patriotic disposition, the King greatly re-
sembles. Let us be grateful for this happy circum-
stance. If ever there were a King whose character
was eminently adapted to these troubled and tortu-
ous times, it was George 111. His acuteness, his
unflinching firmness, his knowledge of human na-
ture, his simple and virtuous tastes, but above all,
his genuine Protestant spirit and his thorough English
temperament, point out him, and such as he, as na-
tional leaders in aseason when a falseheartedand truck-
ling crew, with no talent but for mischief, artificial in
their habits, and anti-national in their feelings, are
assailing this great country by a dark conspiracy, with
a Papist faction, and an alien and anti-national enemy.
George 111., the constitutional Monarch of a free na-
tion, would never have made the King's speech a me-
dium for attacking the Estates of the realm for the
constitutional exercise of their unquestioned privilege.
The Minister who had suggested a proceeding so un-
constitutional would have never again entered the
Royal antechamber. And will a Whig Minister, in
the present days of Whig degradation, be more suc-
cessful with the son of George 111, a son worthy of
such a father ? The nation watch their Sovereign
with affectionate anxiety, but with no apprehension as
to his decision. He has but to raise his arm, and Iris
Whole people will rally round the throne.— Times.
Our predictions are more than fulfilled. The Spa-
nish Constitution is not only breathing the breath of
life, but it is living in all quarters of Spain. Our no-
tice of this matter yesterday must have convinced our
readers that the last thing thought of by the opponents
of the Carlists is the Queen's Government. The Spa-
niards are determined to be free in their own way—
and we applaud them to the echo. The game of Car-
listism and Christinism is fooled and done with ; and
our gallant countryman General Evans can do nettling

who think there is something formidable in the system
of agitation now at work in Ireland are like infants in
the nursery, scaled by a bugbear stuffed with old
rags, and whose terrors would only excite ridicule, if
their composition were exposed even to the eye of
childhood. The ;Irievances of the Irish people
are those. which Mr. O'Connell does not attempt
to remove. It is, on the contrary, his object
and his interest to aggravate them. Ireland wants
a good system of poor laws to rescue her pea-
santry from their existing state of horrible want,
and the desperation which is its consequence. It
suits Mr. O'Connell's purpose that the labouring
classes of Ireland should be in a wretched and starving
condition, in order that in his capacity of Agitator-
General he may have no lack of desperate tools to work
with. Ireland wants that tranquillity which would cause
the capital of England to flow into the country, and turn
its national capabilities to a profitable account ; but
that tranquillity which would prepare the soil to receive
the seeds of a golden harvest of improvement, is the
very thing that the demagogue does not desire. A
country of peaceful habits, of smiling industry, of
moral cultivation and content, is precisely the country
in which the sordid disturber of society could not
pursue his shameful trade of " patriotic' mendicancy
with any chance of success. In such a country his
Agitation Clubs, composed of hungry politicians,
briefics,s Barristers, distillers of cheap whisky, ambi-
tious Flew, and talkative tailors, would be treated
With the ridicule and contempt they deserve ; nor
would the demagogue himself, working his puppet-
show, and patronized by au amateur Roscius in vice-
regal robes, draw half as numerous or respectable an
audience as Punch administering justice to Judy, in-
stead of levying a "ring' by calling for justice to Ire-
land.—Morning Herald.
