POLITICAL SUMITARY OF THE

MORNING JOURNALS.

The Morning Post of this day observes, with safe:Trice
to the contemplated allowance to Prince Albert ;—" The
Government has proposed 50,0001. a year; the Conser-
vative party, we: understand, entertains the npinion that,
under all the circumstances ,of the case, 30,0001, a year
will be an ample income for the Prince. With this opinion
we entirely agree.--Far be it from us to desire to be nig-
gardly to the husband of the Queen. But the fact is,
that after the 8,0001. or 9,0001., which Lord .1 Rus-
sell speaks of, has been paid—about the necessity of
which some doubt may be fairly entertained—it is
not at all clear, but quite the contrary, what use
Prince Albert is to have for a very large additional
sum of money."—The Times thus expresses itself on
the subject of Prince Albert's grant:—" Really, the
impudence of these Whig Radical Ministers astonishes

......We cannot permit ourselves to doubt that this night's
vote will greatly reduce the sum proposed, and so save
the next Parliament the trouble of performing that
duty.to their constituents and the country at large."—The
Morning Herald uses the following language in a leading
article suggested by the proposed grant to Prince Albert—
" Fifty thousand pounds a year for an establishment for
Prince Albert seems a most extravagant and preposterous
demand.—We hope the Conservative Opposition will
not, out of a spirit of obsequiousness to the Court, vote
away the people's money with the profuse liberality which
suits Whig purposes at the present moment. The Con-
servatives have but too often played the game of the Whig
faction. It is time for them to take some care of the in-
terests of the country." The Morning Ckroniclo,
in an article on the subject of the recent elec-
tions, observes as follows :—" The Edinburgh election,
teaches an instructive lesson—it teaches that the spirit of
religious fanaticism has been invoked in vain; that the
efforts of ‘apostate journalists and reverend incendiaries to
fan tie flame of bigotry into a emiseming fire, have signally
failed ; and that in the Protestant capitol of the most anti-
Catholic portion of the British empire, a man may.daro-to
invoke the principles of religious fiber: y, and be received
with applause."—The Morning Advertiser, speaking on
the subject of the late elections, says All bail again to
Reform I The Tories are defeated—the Liberals ire
triumphant. In every quarter they have been siffnelly de-
feated; and to-morrow, the motion of Sir J. 'Y. Buller
will meet with the same fate."
