there is no complaint against the privileges of the House of Lord ,
or against the prerogative of the Crown. His Majesty's preset.
Ministers, therefore, do not presume to meddle with either the
one or the other; following the wise example set by Lord Somers,
they seek the removal of the nuisance, and moreover they, liki
Turd Somers, endeavour to do so In such a manner as to prove: t
i s recurrence. Was the proceeding taken at the Revolutior
without objection? Did not the substitution of King Wil-
liam, for his father in-law, carry on the face of it somethiny
disgu-ting and offensive to the common feelings of domestic
life? Na', was not England, by the accession of King William,
and the succession of the House of Brunswick, committed to an
inevitable entanglement in Continental wars? Did not Lord
Somers and his associates perceive this consequence? No doubt
they did so ; but the pressing evils were the character and the
des:gn,Of King James, and they put aside the fundamental prin-
ciple of the Monarchy, at all hazards, to save the country from
slavery, or a civil war ? To us it appears that the present Re-
form Bill, viewed as a Constitutional change, is trifling, when
compared with the dispossession effected by the revolution. Con.
fiscation and banishment were, at that period, pronounced
against one branch of the Government, on the ground of recent
delinquency;—in the present instance the confiscation exists
only in the perverted understandings and imaginations of the
Tories, and banishment is left to their own option—an option
which, we will venture to predict, even few professed travellers
amongst them will avail themselves of. We rather think that
they will continue, under a Reformed Parliament, to say with
Cowper :
hngland, with all thy faults, I love thee still."—licrald. • •
The debate on the second reading of the Reform Bill was
brought to a conclusion last night, and the divis'on took place
after a discussion which lasted till half-past four this morning,
when the numbers proved to be 367 for and 2111 against the mea-
sure, leaving a majority of 136. The speechee delivered on the
Constitutional side by Mr. Wrangham, Lord Val'etort, Sir C.
Wetherell, and, above a 1, Sir R. Peel, merit deep attention for
the irrefragable cogency of their arguments; and the sound
views they display of the subject will be those adopted by all the
rational and steady portion of the community. But the artifices
that have been resorted to for securing a majority in the House
of Commons to the revolutionary measure have gained the anti-
cipated success; and reason, prudence, and pattjotism are for
the time borne down in the torrent. Radicalism N'a-s won a tem-
, porary triumph, but no fear need be entertained for the ultimate
ascendency of the good cause of the Constitution.— Morn. Post.
