i RIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS

One of the most distinguished historians of any age'
is M. Von Raumer, which history of the House of
Hohenstaufen throws a valuable light on a very inte-
resting period, respecting which very erroneous notions
are still too generally entertained in this country. In
order to procure materials for a History of Europe, of
which several volumes have already appeared, he vi-
sited this country last year, and remained in it from
the 2f4d of March till the end of September. He was
received in the best society, and the time of his visit
was one of extraordinary excitement--the expulsion of
the Tory Ministry, and the restoration to power of
the Reformers. On his return to Berlin, in the Uni-
versity of which he is Professor of History, he pub-
lished two volumes under the title of " England in
1835 ;" and his account of England and the English,
judging from the extracts given in the Athenceurn of
Saturday last (for we have not yet seen the work), is
certainly flattering, but at the same time characterised
by truth and impartiality. He was struck with the
proofs of prosperity everywhere visible in this island,
the perfection of the agriculture, and the astonishing
industry of the towns. As far as M. Von Rau-
mer's politics are concerned, he seems more a Tory
than a Reformer, but he tells the Tories some home
truths.
a If" he says, " the Tories had always done what was
right, and at the right time, the Whigs would never have
come into power. The Tories negligently suffered the
watch to run down—then came the Whigs and wound it
up again. Having done this, they retired, or were forced
to do so. The idol of the false Tories is the vis
that of the false Whigs the perpetuum mobile."
In an interview with Mr. O'Connell, M. Von Rau-
mer told him " that what he wished to obtain for Ire-
land had been long since possessed by the Prussian
Catholics, and that animosities and complaints had
ceased together with persecution. He very sensibly
observes with regard to O'Connell, to the energy of
whose• mind and will, however, he does justice, that
" it is the English Ministry that has made the man a
giant." But the philosophic German visited the coun-
try, to the long continued misgovernment of which
Mr. O'Connell owes his power, and we really think,
unprincipled as many of the Tories are, and contempt-
ible as has 'been their conduct in endeavouring to ex-
cite religious animosity by the circulation of the vilest
calumny and abuse of the Catholics, the description of
the effects of their system of government in Ireland,
given by this honest foreigner, will really make them
ashamed of themselves. He had proceeded from
Dublin to Cork, and visited the mountains and lakes,
and returned by way of Limerick to Dublin ; but the
misery he witnessed seems to have completely unhinged
him.
My mind," he says, "is filled with one thought—l can
entertain no other—it is that of the inexpressible wretched..
ness of so many thousands. In England I looked in vain
for misery, and all the complaints that I heard seemed to
be partial and exaggerated ; here no words can express the
frightful truth-which everywhere meets the eye. To form
an idea of it, you must see these houses—not houses, but
huts—not huts, but hovels, mostly without windows or
apertures ; the same entrance—the same narrow space for
men and hogs, the latter lively, sleek, and well fed, the
former covered with rags, or rather hung with fragments
of rags in a im.nner which it is impossible to conceive. If
I except the respectable people in the towns, I did not see
upon thousands of Irish, a whole coat, a whole shirt, or any
other part of their dress—but all in tatters.
" The ruins of ancient castles were pointed out to me ;
but how could I take any pleasure in them while the deso-
late ruined huts surrounded me, and testified the dis-
tress of the present times more loudly than the others did
the grandeur of the past ? But then the lords were of the
same race—of the same language ; they were on the spot,
and the people certainly not so wretched as since the con-
fiscations of the English conquerors. Other huts were
half fallen down, but the occupants crept into the remain-
ing half, which was not longer than a coffin for the wretched
family.
" When I recollect the well-fed rogues and thieves in the
English prisons, I admire, notwithstanding the very natural
increase of Irish criminals, the power of morality—l wonder
that the whole nation does not go over and steal in order
to enjoy a new and happier existence. And then 'the
English boast of the good treatment of their countrymen,
while the innocent Irish are obliged to live worse than their
"
cattle.

This is a specimen of the reflections which the
aspect of Irish misery extorted from him. It is really
wonderful, as he says, that the people should be so ob-
stinately moral, when the comfortable prisons of Eng-
land are ready for the reception -of all who have the
courage to steal. After contrasting the ages called bar-
barous with our civilized times, " when rich (or• bank-
rupt) aristocrats can see the weal of the Church and
of religion (or of their relations) only in retaining pos-
session of that which was taken and obtained by vio-
lence," he ridicules the idea of attaching importance to
agitators of exciting discontent by artificial means
Since I have seen Ireland," he observes, "I admire the
patience and moderation of the people, that they do not
(what would be more excusable in them than in distin-
guished revolutionists, authors, journalists, Benthamitcs,
baptized and unbaptized Jews) drive out the Devil through
Beelzebub the Prince of the Devils. Thrice happy
Prussia, with its free proprietary peasantry, its agricultural
nobles, its contented and tolerant clergy, its well-educated
youth !"
We have ourselves more than once lamented the
excessive patience of the Irish people as one of the
greatest faults in their character. Patience under op-
pression is the sure way to be constantly oppressed.
The only effectual means to insure good treatment in
this world is to make bad treatment a matter of peril.
One devil, as M. Von Raumer forcibly expresses it,
must be driven out by another. Experience has suffi-
ciently shown that the Irish, have never succeeded in
gaining anything from the good will of their oppres-
sors, but everything from their fear. The people of
England are not to blame for the misgovernment of
the Irish. That misgovernment is the work of the
Oligarchy, and the Irish branch of it, the Protestant
Ascendancy, as it is called. The people of England
sympathise with their unfortunate fellow-citizens of
Ireland. They see through and detest the hypocritical
pretext of zeal for the purity of religion, by which Tory
aristocrats seek to perpetuate abuses in Ireland. They
can see the wolves in spite of the sheep's clothing. They
know, too, that some of the worst enemies of England
have been trained in the school of oppression in Ire-
land ; and that it is their interest, if they wish to con-
tinue in the enjoyment of prosperity, not to abet the
oppressors of their Irish brethren, but to afford them
aid in the great work of obtaining equal justice.
The enemies of Ireland are the enemies of England.
Their stronghold is in a certain House, and the
struggle is fast approaching. M. Von Raumer was
struck with the Irish children, " with their black hair
and dark eyes, so gay and playful in their tatters,"
and shocked to think that in a few years, by thefault
9rman and the Government, they would be "so
worn out without advantage to themselves or others,
that the very beasts of the field might look down on
them with scorn." He asks if he should have sup-'
pressed the• truth, because it may offend certain
parties. " What," he exclaims, " have Ito do with
O'Connell and his opponents I I have nothing either
to hope or to fear from any of them ; but to declare
what I saw, thought, and felt, is my privilege, and
my duty. Discite justitiam, moniti, et non temnere
divos !' We shall only make another extract from
this able and honest writer—his reflections in the
steam-boat on his way back to England. The evi-
dences which he had seen of the deep guilt of Tory
oligarchs in Ireland, were not lost on him. We will
answer for it, the sight on his return to Berlin of the
whiskered representative of all that is odious and un-
holy in the treatment of Ireland, would call forth the
same indignant feelings to which he here gives ex-

pression :
" Last night, as I quitted Dublin in the steam-boat, the
dark clouds traversed the sky in rapid confusion, and when
the sun burst through them, the mountains on the right and
left threw their long shadows towards England. This sha-
dow spreads in my fancy over the lately so glowing scene,
and the more I endeavour to efface it, the more indelible
does it appear, like the blood stains to Lady Macbeth. I
have read and written much on the sufferings of different
ages and nations, and wrote and read with sympathy; but
it is a far different thing to see them ; to see them in their
gigantic form in our highly extolled times, denied and ex-
tenuated—nay, acknowledged and justified by those who,
like
the French,
fancy that they are at the head of all human
civilization. No wonder if the native Irish, like the prophet
of old by the waters of Babylon, sit down and weep, if I, a
stranger, am compelled to reckon the few days I passed
among them as the most melancholy of my life."
We are sure our readerava excuse the length of these

extr acts. M. Von Rammer has powerfully aided the
Iris'la by the honest unvarnished description he has
given of what he witnessed. Let us wipe off, without
delay, this national reproach. Let the honest and en-
liglntened people of England and Scotland, in whose
name so much injustice has been perpetrated by inso-
lent and rapacious Tories, do their duty at this trying
crisis. The Lords may once more be brought to rea-
son, if the people show themselves in earnests-,-Morn-
ing ekronicle.
The really liberal, but still constitutional members
of the community, cannot fail to behold with disgust
and indignation the renewed attempts, by the extreme
Radical party, to diiect the angry passions of the mul-
titude against the House of Lords. From the political
education of the members of the Government, and from
their personal responsibilities as Ministers, it is but fair
to suppose that they do not share these extreme sen-
timents. indeed, the voluntary declarations made by
some of them on recent occasions, in favour of the inde-
pendence of the Upper House of Legislature, are
sufficient pledges, on their parts, that they do not
co'icur in the extravagant and outrageous opinions cons
terning the House of Lords, which are put forth with
all the haste of ignorance, ind all the violence of faction.
But believing this to be true, and feeling well assured
that were any express resolution against the House of
Lords submitted to the consideration of the House of
Commons, the Members in that House would feel it
their fluty to speak and vote against it, it cannot but be
a matter of deep regret to the nation that, when fierce
hostility to the Upper House is openly avowed by cer-
tain Members in the Commons, the Ministers do not in-
terfere to reprove and repress such gross. impropriety.
Can it be true, as the public have been taught to be-
lieve by. the Parliamentary reports, that Members upon
the Ministerial benches have cheered Mr. Hume and
Mr. O'Connell when using such language, respecting
the other House of Legislature as ought to have been
silenced by calling these Members to order ? Can it
be true, that for the sake of such support as these men
and their followers can give, gentlemen holding office
under the Crown can stoop so low as to applaud and
encourage them ? • Can it be true that the very sen-
timents which they have themselves disavowed, they
think worthy of applause when avowed by others ?
We hope that this is not true ; for, if it be, it is
very disgraceful ; and yet if it be not, it is sur-
prising that Ministers should have taken no pains to
repel the imputation. That imputation is in some
degree corroborated by the language of what is
called " the Ministerial Press." How does it happen
that those official' persons who have so recently dis-
claimed in public any wish to interfere with the Con-
stitutional functions and privileges of the, House of
Peers, should yet allow Journals, which are directly
patronised by them, to attack these functions and pri-
vileges in the most violent language of menace ? It
Would be well for Ministers themselves to remember
that a fast-and-loose policy—a policy which is pas-
sively one thing, and actively another, will not long 'be
endured by the British nation. Trickery may succeed
for a while here—it may for a long time in Ireland,
as is proved by the still existing popularity of Mr.
O'Connell in that island ; but here, we can assure the
Ministers, they will in the end bring nothing but ruin
and contempt upon themselves, by being revolutionary
in their cheers, and disavowing revolution in their
speeches. They Should resolve to be either one
thing or the other—either with the Constitution or
against it. In public affairs, as well as in private, they
should remember that " honesty is the best policy."
They should also endeavour to be more consistent
with themselves, if they expect to escape just con-
tempt. Not only do they oppose an amendment in
one House, which they readily consent to in another,
but they allow their journals to attack the House of
Lords violently, for passing an amendment which
they themselves, or such of them as have seats in the
Upper House, allowed to pass without opposition.
If we believe some of the Ministerial papers, the
amendment to the Address, which was carried in the
House of Lords, was an insult to the representatives
of the people. We are very sure that it was no such
thing ; but if it were, indeed, what a Ministerial print
says it was, why did the Ministers in the House of
Lords describe it so very differently, and con-
sent to it without dispute ? We believe we
fairly represent the oninion of the moderate and
liberal, but still soundly Conservative party, when
we say that the amendment to the Address, pro-
posed by the Duke of Wellington in one House, and
Sir Robert Peel in the other, was a fair and reasonable
amendment ; an amendment which by no means shut
out the prospect of well-considered reform for the Cor-
porations of Ireland, while it avoided pledging the
Parliament to particular principles which might lie
found, on investigation, not applicable to the circum-
stances of Ireland. This is the opinion which people
who make use of their calm reason have come to upon
the subject, and it is both extremely absurd, and grossly
untrue; to pretend that the nation is angry at that
amendment. The 'extravagance of faction in endea-
vouring to excite the public mind upon such palpable
misrepresentation will, we are convinced, defeat itself.
It is well that the public should be upon their guard
against a delusion with' respect to the decisions of the
two Houses of Parliament, which is very industriously
attempted to be forced upon them. If the House of
Lords happens to differ from a decision of the House
of Commons, it is immediately cried out, " See how
the Peers pu: themselves in opposition to the repre-
sentatives of the people I" The deception consists in
estimating Mr. O'Connell's Members as the whole of
the representatives of the people ; for if they were not
taken into account, the balance in the House of Coin-
mons, and in the House of Lords, would, upon all Con-
stitutional questions, lean the same way. The truth is,
that et the very moment that the Peers are attacked as
setting themselves in opposition to the representatives
of the people, they are not opposing, hut agreeing
with, the majority of the representatives of the people
of England. It is the Irish Members who vote for
Popery, and they alone who cause the balance of the
Nouse of Commons to be different from that of the
House of Peers. We need say no more than this to
show the audacity and unfairness of the pretence that
the Peers assume to themselves the right of disregard-
ing the voice of the representatives of the people. It
is not our principle nor our practice to justify, or pal-
liate, undue influence in any quarter whatever ; but
neither can we suffer unjust representations to be pub-
licly, made without exposing the fraud which is so im-
pudently attempted. Let there be fair play, and true
statements on both sides, and then Englishmen will
decide as deliberate honest judges ought to decide
upon every question.—Morning Herald.
We lately called upon the electors of Marylebone
to shake off the supineness of which the Tories in
that borough had taken secret and efficient advantage,
by resuming the organization of their electoral com-
mittees and preparing for a vigorous struggle. It was
then supposed that Mr. Henry L. Bulwer was about
to retire. We proved to them that union was their only
chance of defeating the triumph of a Tory candidate ;
and Mr. Sheriff Salomons having been proposed as a
successor to Mr. Bulwer, we urged them to make
his name—a name identical with that great cause of
civil and religious liberty which all parties,—Whigs,
Reformers, and Radicals,—in the borough, cannot
divide upon—a rallying cry for their union. Since
then affairs in that borough have assumed a different
complexion. The agitation of an electioneering con-
test, which had begun to move the sleepy surface of
politics in Marylebone, has been allayed by the in-
formation that Mr. Henry L. Bulwer did not intend
to resign his seat. Oil has been poured upon the
troubled waves by this announcement, and the Li-
beral interest appears to be settling down into the same
state of pernicious supineness as before. It is for the.
purpose of arousing the Reformer§ from their slumbers
that we are now about to announce to them a few brief
facts. There is as much necessity for union now as
there was when we last addressed them. Although
Mr. H. L. Bulwer's seat is not "vacated, nor likely to
be vacated upon the opening of Parliament, it must be
vacated at no great distance of time. We mean in
consequence of a contingency—viz., a dissolution of
Parliament—and which we are persuaded cannot be
protracted beyond a few months. Between this and
that period there is by no 'means too long time to
enable the whole combined strength of the Reform
interest to prepare for a contest for which the Tories
are-already fully prepared. We say combined, for if

it be not combined, we do not hesitate to predict that
one Tory candidate will inevitably be returned for the
Beough of Marylebone ;
_perhaps two, instead of its
present two Reform representatives. Lord Teign-
mouth is quite willing and quite ready to take the
place of Mr. H. L. Bulwer, as has been proved by
his courteous response to an application from the
Reform Parochial Committee, and his post-haste but
shrievless errand to town in consequence, when he
found the tender nature of the questions to which the
Pancras inquisitors had intended to subject his Lord-
ship's nervous susceptibilities. Mr. Hope is quite as
willing, though perhaps not quite so well prepared, to,
take the seat of Sir Samuel Whalley ; and we now'
tell the Marylebone Reformers plainly, if they do not
bestir themselves, and above all unite, the return of
one Tory candidate is certain. Will they allow the
borough to be emasculated by their disunion ?
A Tory and a Reformer sitting simultaneously for
IVlarylebone is tantamount to a negation of their
voice in the public councils. It is no declama-
tory hyperbole we are using when we say, therefore,
that their substantial political existence at the present
important crisis of public affairs depends upon their
union. A few facts will briefly prove it. There are
this year 10,952 electors on the register, or nearly
11,000. Of these it may be supposed that 3,000
will not vote at all, leaving 8,000 as the probable
number who will go to the poll. One thousand have
signed Lord Teignmouth's requisition, and we must,
therefore, set down his strength at not less than 3,000,
headed by Lord Kenyon, the Beresfords, the Rectors,
and Sir James Cockburn. The Whigs and Liberals
would, probably, be the weakest ; not more than 1,000
under the colours of Portman, Horne, and Young. Sir
Samuel Whalley and Mr. Hume's party may number
2,500, and Mr. Murphy's strength cannot be esti-
mated at less than 1,500. These figures will make
up 11,000, thus—

The variations in the barometer last week were
almost unexampled, and what was most extraordinary, notwith-
standing the tempestuous and humid state of the atmosphere,
the rise was even more rapid than the fall.

THE SULTAN MAHMOUD.—From Constantinople
we learn, under date the 30th December, that the Sultan
Mahmoud has been ill for a fortnight from the effect of a chill,
but that his health is now re-established.

The town of `'Vagrant, celebrated in the annals o:
Napoleon's victories, has become a prey to a terrific fire, wbicl
reduced the greater part of it to ashes.

RIPON MILK TITHES—In pursuance of the
extraordinary notice we published in our last, the distraint sale
was made on Thursday, upon the household furniture of W.
Darnbrough, a tailor, of Ripon, for tithe of milk, "claimed by
the very Rev. the Dean and Chapter of Ripon, under the title
of tithet, offerings, oblations, and obventions ;" or rather in-
ventions, as a correspondent in a contemporary print, more
facetiously, but less properly calls them. The sum claimed;
we understand, was for twenty days' milk upon four cows,
which he had given proper notice to take in kind, to the amount
of five shillings, with an additional ten shillings for costs. 1
The proceeds of sale were as follow .—tea-table, sixpence ;
dinner-table, sixpence ; six chairs, thirteen-pence -, chest of
drawers, one shilling; and a clock, sixpence-halfpenny ;
amounting in the whole to the enormous sum of four shillings
and sevenpenee-halfpenny l Out of this sum the auctioneer's
expenses would have to come, so that the glory of the pro-
cedure is all that is likely to acrue to the very Rev. the
Dean and Chapter, and "there is not much in that," as the
crow said when he looked into the marrow-bone I Two years
ago, the said William Darnborough was honoured by a similar
notice from these very Reverend Ecclesiastics. He is a per-
son with a large family, his tenth child not being two years
old, and which he has named Tithe, in commemoration of his
peculiar visitations.
BOROUGH OF FINSBURY.—Mr. Daniel ry
Con_
na, Mr. Maurice O'Connell, Mr. D. W. Harvey, Mr. Wil-
liam Williams, the MeMber for Coventry, and other Liberal
Members, have signified their intention to be present at the
Grand Reform Dinner to be given to Mr. Wakley on Wed-
nesday next, at the White Conduit Illuse. Mr. Hume will
preside on the occasion.

The premature decease of the Hon. Mrs. Cox took
place on Sunday week, in Grosvenor-place. This lamented
young lady was the eldest daughter of Dowager Lady Rivers.
In July, 1834, she was united to F. W. Cox, Esq„ and has
now died before the completion of her 25th year, deeply re-
gretted by her circle of friends. - It has been our painful duty
to announce an unusual number of deaths recently among the
youthful members of the Aristocracy.
The late decision of the Committee of the Stock.
Exchange, in declaring null all transactions with Lakeman,
even in cases where the money had been received, has very
much tended, for the time, to lessen the amount of business in
the Foreign Funds. It has created, in point of fact, a new
description of risk connected with those transactions, already
more than enough beset with difficulty and hazard. Arbitrary
and unjust as the rule has appeared to a very large number of
the Members, it has been complied with in many instances, in
preference to taking the consequences of that power of exclu-
sion which the Committee possess. The protest against it
has been signed, among others, by seven Members of the
Committee, who formed the minority on that resolution, and
who will, of course, resign. To judge, from present appear-
ances, some important modifications of the system are likely to
arise from these proceedings.—Morning Paper.

n.EPRESENTATION OF-GLASGOW.-The Reform
Association of Glasgow, having resolved to invite Lord W.
Bentinck to succeed Mr. Colin Dunlop as one of the Repre-
sentatives of that city, set about getting up a requisition to his
Lordship, which, after receiving the signatures of 1,000 elec-
tors, was despatched on Friday last. Another party, in-
cluding the political Union, are not satisfied with this nomi-
nation, and they have been 'procuring signatures to a memo-
rial to his Lordship, requesting him not to stand. This do-
cument was to be despatched on Saturday evening, but we
have not heard how many electors subscribed to it. This
latter party are dissatisfied with Lord William Bentinck on
the ground that he is a stranger, and also because there are
reasons for believing that he is not willing to vote for an ex-
tension of the suffrage, the ballot, and triennial Parliaments.
Glasgow Advertiser.

LIVERPOOL, FEB. 6.—The New York packet-ship
Hibernia, which arrived here to-day, and docked in the
Prince's dock, was this evening discovered to be on fire. She
was immediately removed out of the way of the surrounding
shipping into the gateway at the south entrance of the dock.
Engines were promptly in attendance, but their efforts not
proving effectual, it was deemed advisable to scuttle her, which
was done at 8 o'clock this evening. How the fire originated is
yet a mystery.
POOR LAWS.--On Wednesday eveninga quantity
of furze stacked within the walled fence of the Union Work-
house, Eastbourne, was discovered on fire. That the act
was purposely done, there •is no doubt ; but although strong
suspicion attaches to an individual, still it cannot be borne
out by evidence. The fire was subdued before it reached the
house, and fortunately the damage done was of little moment.
The paupers within the house, in consequence of an altera-
tion having been made in the diet table, refused to work.
Hall, the police officer, together with the special constables,
under the direction of the High Constable, were in imme-
diate attendance, and remained in the house during the night.
Up to the present hour all is passing off quietly.—Brighton
Gazette.

WHITEUAVEN HARBOUR.—We stated in our
last, that the Whitehaven Underwriters had determined to
cease underwriting vessels to enter Whitehaven, until the de-
termination of the Trustees was known. We understand
that they have since determined to underwrite policies at an
advance of two per cent. on the sums insured, and that several
greatly
risks have been taken at that rate.— TVhitehaven Herald.
A NIGHT'S .LODGING.—In consequence of the
immense quantity of snow which fell on Tuesday between
and Marlborough, the Bath and Exeter mail w
im-
peded. The snow in some places near Beckhampton was from
Bath
nine to fourteen feet deep. The York House day coach got

VICE CIIANCERY.-SATURDAY.

LEMON V. SADDLETON.

This was an action on behalf of the Commissioners of
the Bedford Level against the Ouse Bank Commissioners
for obstructing the course of the River by throwing mate-
rials into it. Mr. Knight had previously obtained an in-
junction against the defendants, and he now applied for
an attachment against Jacob Thornbury (who had con-
tracted to repair the banks of the River), for an infringe-
ment of the injunction. It was agreed, on the suggestion
of the Vice Chancellor, that an issue should be directed to
try the facts at the forthcoming Norfolk Assizes.
