TO BOROUGH AND CITY ELECTORS.
The next General Election (should there be one)
within 15 months) will virtually commenced yesterday,
that being the day on which the. Overseers publish
the list of voters for,the ensuing year.
Every Reformer, should, therefore, attend to the fol-
lowing. instructions :-Ist. He should see that the Over
seers publish their lists on'all the Churches and Chapel
doors, on the Bth of August, their wilfully neglecting to
do so rendering them liable to a penalty of 5001. 2dly.
He should examine those lists on next Sunda at
the residence of an Overseer any day beforee
15th of August, which any person may
.do.without the
payment of any fee. He should see that his namc,, qua-
lification, and place are correctly described, and having
ascertained if the names of any persons, who be believes
to be entitled to be on such list, have been omitted, he
should induce them to claim to be registered on or before
the 25th of August ; for this purpose the Reform Act
prescribes a form of claim which should be adopted, viz.
A CLALM TO BE REGISTERED.

To the Overseers of the Parish of

.to have my
name inserted in the List made by yen of persons en-
titled, under the Reform Act, to Vote in the Election.of a

workshop, stable, shed, or as the case may be, and the
name of the street, court, &c. ; put in the date, and sign
the names of the claimant, and his place of abode, at full

should immediately write on the copy to whom the claim
was delivered, and the day of the month and year.
He should then copy from the Overseer's list the
names of any political opponent that he believes not be
be entitled to a vote ; and, should he be disinclined to
take the trouble consequent upon objecting himself. he
should forward his information to a Reform or Regis-
tration Society, if there be one in that borough or city,
or to some active Reformer residing therein,—as it is
necessary that the objector, or some one on his behalf,
should appear in the Revising Barrister's Court to sup-
port the objection, though the proof of qualification will
fall on the person objected to.

BEES.—HUIth, in his treatise on bees, in a note
says—" A swarm of bees belonging to Lord Melville, at

virgin swarms, a circumstance which perhaps never be-
.fore occurred in the history of bees. The same cir-
cumstance has happened with a hive belonging to Mr.
Campbell, schoolmaster in Gilmerton. The history of
the hive is as follows :—The queen bee of one hive
having died in the month of January last, the bees were
united to another hive, in consequence of which it was
very strong, - hut had to be removed to- some distance.
It was placed in Mr. Johnston's garden, Stenhouse, and
swarmed so early as the 13th May, and a second time on
the 24th of the same month. The first of these, viz.,
the one which came off on te.l3th, has thrown two virgin
swarms, the one on the 4fh of this present month, and
the other on the 15th.—Edinburgh Courant.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
Faoat VIE DAILY TAPERS OF SATURDAY.
CHRONICLE.—We return to Sir' Robert Peel's
speech for the` sake of two or three points in it, in addi-
tion to that of the quack doctor illustration. The most
decided opinion expressed in the oration of the proximate
Premier is, that our Evening Contemporary (the Globe) is
not particular enough in its paragraphs. Sir Robert is
very great upon this topic. It occupies nearly a third of
his speech. 'He argues very elaborately that certain
paragraphs are utterly unimportant. He affirms very-
energetically that he regards them with perfect indiffer-
ence. He appealed most convincingly to his hearers
against the idea of his being - at that moment in Paris.
We cannot say, from his speech, whether as Premier he
will lay on new taxes.. It affords no clue to his course
on the Corn-laws. Every principle of public policy is left
in nubibus. We cannot infer whether he will or not op-
pose any resistance to the " tainted characters " who are
about •to force themselves into office. But this one
thing we do' know, and may confidently affirm, that
should Sir Robert Peel become proprietor of the Globe,
its paragraphine• will (in his own judgment) be better
attended to and more satisfactorily conducted. Thus far
the public may rely on Sir Robert Peel as a Reformer.
The changes which his great mind contemplates are very
extensive. They include the paragraphical departments
of " on Bits," "laige letters," and departures for Paris.
He will allow. no " tainted" characters to " force them-
selves" into the office of the penny-a-liners. We mean
nothing disrespectful towards the sub-editorial ability of
our Contemporary, but we hope that, should Sir Robert
ever be in power as Premier of the Globe, he will be
mindful of the' pledges which he now gives as leader of
the opposition. It is in the true spirit of a paragraph
Premier, a great man in little details, that Sir Robert
Peel pretends to discuss the late elections, and ac-
count for their results. According to his theory, the
constituencies have done precisely what his party did
in Parliament, i.e., it voted no confidence in Ministers.
TIMES.—It is not our intention to enter at present
into a consideration of the practical relations which
ought to subsist between the Church of England and a
Conservative Government. We entirely subscribe to the
doctrine that the Church is the true and only fortress of
Conservative principles, and that to her the gratitude of
every patriot is chiefly due for the glorious victory which
those principles have achieved. Other causes may have
contributed to fix the moment and the manner of the
triumph; but the moral material upon which those causes
have operated was nurtured and educated into greatness
by the Church alone. With men like Mr. Roebuck this
is naturally a reason why the energies of the revolu-
tionary party should be henceforth directed to the de-
struction of the temporal institutions which connect the
Church with 'the State, and to the alienation of her pro-
perty ; imagining that if they were permitted to accom-
plish this sacrilege, they could either annihilate her
altogether, or at all events get rid of her influence.
Precisely the same consideration ought to operate
with the Conservatives in the contrary direction, by
way of inducement to 'do all in their power for the
consolidation of her strength, consistently with a
scrupulous regard for the religious liberties guaranteed
by law to those who reject her ministrations. And it is
a subject of infinite. importance, as well as of consider-
able delicacy to determine how this may be done so as
best to answer the great object in view. We shall here-
after submit to our readers such reflections as have oc-
curred to us on this subject. For the present we only
allude to it, because the same journal which (apparently
under Romish influence) a few days since contended for
the principle of denying liberty of conscience to Church-
men, continues to employ itself in the inculcation of
high prerogative doctrines concerning the mutual rela-
tions of Church and State. We always knew- that
it was in the nature of demoeratical opinions to be over-
bearing and intolerant, because democracy is in itself a
despotism, differing from that of an individual chiefly in
being more absolute, more capricious, more ignorant and
headstrong, more fierce, more unscrupulous, and more
unconscientious. It has, therefore, given us no surprise
to perceive, from time to time, a tendency in Whig mea-
sures, and a scarcely-concealed disposition in Whig-
Radical journalists, to claim a monopoly of religious
liberty for Dissenters, and of civil liberty for the pro-
fessors of "Liberal" opinions.
HERALD.—If there be at this moment any Euro-
pean Statesman who is, humanly speaking, entitled to
enjoy the satisfaction of that " small still voice" con-
science, it is M. Guizot. For what ? For saving Eu-
rope from the horrors of a general war, into which the
passions of his countrymen, acting on the combined po-
licy of England, Austria, Prussia, and Russia, might
have plunged an hundred millions of unoffending beings,
on a mere " point of honour." M. Guizot's victory of
peace is worthy of far more renown than all Marshal
Soult's victories of war. Honour then to M. Guizot ;
he has been the Minister of peace ! In defence of his
policy there has been no destruction of his fellow-crea-
tures ; to raise him to and preserve him in power the
progress of humanity and civilisation has not been arrested
—the bayonet has not bristled, the sword has not been
drawn. He has combated popular prejudices and over-
come the infuriate desire of his nation for blood. He has
quelled that worst of demons, human passion. The
year 1841 may overlook this great merit of the French
Minister, but history will proudly commemorate the fact,
in honour of one of her favourite sons. The statesman
who aspires to power in France during ordinary times,
must be a bold_man ; but he who accepted office towards
the close of 1840 was not only a bold but a good man.
France clamoured for war ; M. Guizot boldly promised
it peace. However worldlings may despise, or trading
politicians sneer at the fact, it nevertheless is a fact, that
honesty is the best policy. The policy of M. Thiers was
dishonest, and he fell : the policy of M. Guizot has been
honest, and he has succeeded. M. Guizot may be driven
from office within a few months by a union of the fac-
tions which distract France, and annoy Europe ; but lie
has achieved the great object for which alone he accepted
it. He has preserved that peace which M. Thiers would
have sacrificed. The philosophical statesman has tri-
umphed over the practical politician. France may not
be proud of her Minister, but France is perverse •, but
Europe owes him thanks, which will be rendered by—
posterity.
POST.—The subject of the Speakership of the new
House of Commons continues to form one of the topics
of conversation in political circles, and has been, we be-
lieve, the principal theme of a correspondence of the
most frank and cordial character, in which none of the
asperity of controversy has for a single moment appeared,
among persons. of the greatest weight and importance
in public life. . It is needless to say that no definite re-
solution upon the subject has yet been adopted by that
-great party upon which, possessing as it does, an over-
whelming majority of the House of Commons, the deci-
sion of the question must finally depend. The members
of this very numerous party are at present too much scat-
tered to admit of the sentiments of more than a very
small proportion of them being collected ; and this cir-
cumstance will probably prevent any precise determina-
tion of the question until the very near approach of
the meeting of Parliament shall have drawn the
great body of Members to town. What may confidently
. be relied upon is, that the Conservative party will act
' together as one man in the election of Speaker, from
which it necessarily follows that the election, upon
whomsoever it may fall, will be their peremptory choice
and their exclusive act. We have already intimated our
own very decided opinion in favour of the propriety and
expediency, all circumstances being considered, of select-
ing a Speaker from that party which constitutes an un-
equivocal majority of the House, and which is rich in the
possession of men in all respects well qualified to dis-
charge the duties of this as well as of every other office
of dignity and importance ; and we have no reason to
doubt that our opinion is shared by a very
great majority of Conservative Members. It is
certain, however, that there are persons in the
State whose opinions are entitled to the greatest
consideration, and who, although they have not
in any manner committed themselves to a final
decision, and will not do so until the general sense of the
Conservative body can be advisedly and unequivocally
expressed, incline to think that the high character of the
party will be more proudly sustained, and'the public ser-
vice, so far as it depends on the decorum, gravity, and
good order of the proceedings of the House of Commons,
will be more effectually promoted, by the re-election of
the eminent person who presided over the late House of
Commons for the last two Sessions of its existence, than
by the appointment of any untried successor to the chair.
The late Speaker undoubtedly secured to himself, and to
have done so is an honour of which any man might be
proud, not only the esteem and confidence of the entire
House of Commons, but a very high place in the personal
regard and affection of many of its Members of all
parties.
GLOBE.—We do not regard the decision of the New
York Supreme Court, in the case of Mr. M•Leod, as in-
volving danger of a breach between England and Ame-
rica. The Federal Government has already distinctly
recognised, through Mr. Webster, the absurdity of the
supposition that the American peoplecan desire to punish
an individual for an act of which the responsibility is
assumed as its own by the authorities who had a right to
command his services. From those authorities evidently

implies
It is clear that responsibility for conduct
power of controlling it. If New York is not responsible
to foreign Powers for its treatment of their subjects,
but the United States are responsible for the fietS of
New York, then, ?at some stage or other, the
Federal
Government must have the power to prevent such
acts in the State of New York as would provoke
war with foreigners. To suppose otherwise were to sup-
pose either that foreigners must put up with whatever a
section of the American people may think fit to do, or
that the United States must espouse the quarrel of that

,
.action of its population, thou It the majority
Y
should deem it rash or u one—without. having any
power of putting a veto on irt at rashness or injustice.
These alternatives are plainly absurd ; and there is no
other; except the rational one, that the Federal Govern-
ment, being responsible for the acts of the States to-
wards foreigners, has power to arrest those acts when
they constitute a national provocation. It is for the fe-
deral authority of course to judge when that case occurs ;
to deny it the power of interposition at that point is to
defy common sense.
STANDARD.—There has been a rumour afloat
during the last 24 hours, to the effect that the " Deficit"
Ministry have resolved to tender their resignation im-
mediately upon the Queen's return to town. We have
not been able to trace this rumour to any authentic
source ; perhaps it has been suggested by certain con-
versations at Woburn. We, however, do not believe
one word of the story ; we shall not believe the Minis-
ters out until we have seen • their successors actually a
week in office, and even then one must not be confident
that the Ladies of the Bedchamber have laid no mine. It
is quite clear from Lord John Russell's manifesto, that
his Lordship did not, 10 days ago, contemplate retirement
from office, and though her Majesty and Lord Mel-
bourne might have lately had an opportunity of hearing
from the head of the house of Russell more truth and
sounder principles of policy than could be obtained from
Lord John, it is not very likely that the hospitable Duke
of Bedford would use the occasion " to school" the
Sovereign, or to employ arguments to Lord Melbourne
like those by which Jack, in the " Tale of a Tub," is
persuaded to hang himself. As to the Duke of Welling-
ton, who was of the Woburn party, it is well known that
his Grace will not obtrude his advice in such a matter.
The rumour is therefore doubtless to be dismissed as
one of those conjectures which a sense of what ought
to occur . builds upon the slightest circumstances.
That Ministers aro- committing a gross and a very
sordid cheat in retaining office, we have already
sufficiently proved—a cheat parallel to that of which we
read some months ago in the police reports. It was prac-
tised by a fellow who hired himself as a coachman and
groom to a gentleman whose carriage and horses were,
from some cause, in the country. After taking three
months' wages and maintenance, the knave confessed
that he had been a water-side porter, and never handled
a set of reins or a currycomb in his life. Now this is just
what the Queen's Ministers are doing : they are taking
watTes and maintenance, upon the pretence of services
which
they know they never can render. Their Minis-
try legally ended on the 4th of June ; it had virtually
ended more than two years before. They are now frau-
dulently- overholding, not merely for the sake of issues
and profits, but in order to commit waste.

COURIER.—We could yesterday do no more than
barely allude to the startling nature of the American in-
telligence that had just then reached us ; but its subject
matter is too serious, and its probable consequences of
too alarming and awful a character, to be hastily treated
of or aproached without a full and impartial considera-
tion of its merits, as well as of the gravely important
results involved in its issue. The Supreme Court of
the state of New York has given its decision on
M'Leod's case, negativing every plea urged for his dis-
charge.from custody, and handing him over to be tried by
an American Jury,upon charges of murder and arson. Into
the grounds upon which the Judges of the Supreme
Court have arrived at this decision, and upon which they
have professed to rely for its justification in the eyes of
the world, it falls not within the scope of our present
purpose to inquire. There was, however, a sharpness in
the language in which this decision was couched—an
acrimony closely verging upon vindictiveness—and a
display of rancorous zeal utterly at variance with our
notions of the calm, clear, dispassionate purity which
should ever preside over the judgment-seat and charac-
terise its decisions, which we cannot let pass unnoticed.
The one-sidedness of the grounds alleged by the Supreme
Court as constituting the basis of their judgment is not
more palpably visible to the eye of the lawyer than is
the tone of angry partizanship that pervades the elabo-
rately drawn up document to the mind of the unprofes-
sional reader. And when the Supreme Court of New
York has thus shown itself so pervious to prejudice,
and so sensible to the influence of mob dictation, what
grounds of hope can the most sanguine entertain that
the trial for which M'Leod has been reserved will be
conducted with any regard either to the demands
of justice, or even the claims of seeming decency ?
The circumstances surrounding his case—the spirit
of fierce hatred towards England which pervades
large classes of the American community—the un-
restrained license they give their passions—and the
feelings of rankling animosity, as well against the
individual as the country, which have accompanied
his arrest and imprisonment—all combine to preclude
the possibility of any thing like a fair or impartial trial
for the accused. Nothing, to our minds, appears snore
clearly than, be the evidence for the defence what it may
—be the proof of the accused's innocence as strong and
conclusive as the nature of such proofs will allow—that
his arraignment will be followed by conviction, 'and con-
viction by execution.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF SATURDAY.

TIMES.—The announced arrival of the overland mail
without advices from China caused no little disappoint-
ment among the tea speculators ; the merchants and
others also connected with the trade Of the place are at
a loss to know what can occasion the delay in the re-
ceipt of news from that quarter for two successive
months, and, although it has created no feeling de-
cidedly unfavourable, it has naturally given rise to a host
of rumours and conjectures on the subject. The tea
speculators have taken advantage of these, and forced
the value of the leaf a trifle. When the fact of the ar-
rival of the mail was first communicated they were
totally at a loss how to act, and so stagnant was the
market, that it was a long time before currency was
given to the price of the article. As it was, the market
closed with very little firmness.
The fall in the value of the Government Stocks to-
day was rather more than a quarter per cent., and is
attributed to the unsatisfactory tenour. of the advices
from America respecting M'Leod, while the large deli-
very of Stock sold on Wednesday also contributed to the
heaviness of the market.

The New York papers by the Britannia, which were
received in the city this afternoon, show that the pro-
gress of the Bank 'Bill since the date of the last arrival
has been cloSely contested at every step. On every
clause, it would seem, an amendment was proposed and
discussed at great length, and it was doubtless owing to
these prolix debates that a singular resolution by Mr.
Warren, of Georgia, providing that no member should
be allowed to speak for more than an hour at a time,
was carried by a large majority. The amendment pro-
posed by Mr. Rives, to which so much importance has
been attached, has been lost, and thus the " Tyler party"
has been defeated. The division by which it was lost
was ten on one side and thirty-eight on the other, and
it is not improbable that a list of the senators would
show a union between thi Clay party and the Demo-
crats against the " Tyler scheme." For the bankists
this may be considered a decided victory, as
far as it goes, as the requisition of the assent of
the states to found branches within their limits would
have entirely prevented the National Bank from extend-
ing its operations, many of the States being too eager for
their own banks to assent to the establishment of such a
formidable competition. The prospect of a rejection by
the Representatives, or at any rate of the President's
veto, will be looked forward to by the Democrats, who
will probably be gratified at the temporary victory of the
bankists, as likely to lead to one of those final results, if
indeed they have not contributed to it themselves. Mr.
Woodbury, the ex Secretary of the Treasury, endea-
voured to strike out the capital of $30,000,000, and leave
a blank in its place, and Mr. Wright opposed the power
given to Congress to increase the capital, but both these
attempts were defeated, as well as a motion likewise,
brought forward by Mr. Wright for preventing the Go-
vernment from becoming original subscribers. The Dis-
tribution Bill had passed the Representatives. The wish
for a general bankrupt law has been expressed in various
parts of the Union:
