claim to be but 325—an Opposition which in six
years has gained, even by their own account, only fif-
teen votes. We take our data from the author of the
pamphlet—" Peel shall lead us." The slowness of
this progress, and ha fear lest the Government should
threw itself on any of the great popular questions which
lie at its hand, produces the impatience of the leadership
of Peel which " a Conservative Member" expresses, and
which throws the party on the bolder courses pointed
out by Stanley. Year after year rolls by, quarter after
quarter comes, and no Tory finds any alleviation to his
quarterly struggles against duns from any official sources
and salaries. Ten years of salaries have been cut out of
the life of the Tory place-hunter. A gloomy sense of de-
sertion and privation, therefore, makes his life a desolate
thing, of which that of Mariana in the moated grange is
only a fit emblem :
'4 He only said, The day is dreary,'—
• Place cometh not,' he said :
He said, ' I am aweary, aweary,
I would that Peel were dead.'"
Sir Robert Peel has been more effectual in swelling the
numbers of the Tories than in fulfilling his Reform
promises of 1835. " Let us disclaim all interest in the
maintenance of any abuse let us declare that we are
willing to redress any real grievance—and concur in
the application of the best remedy which can possibly
be devised for that purpose." Six years have elapsed
since every clause of this sentence elicited applause in
London and hope in the country ; and yet Sir Robert
Peel has not even tried to remove one single abuse, to re-
dress a grievance, or apply a remedy. The paltry frank-
ing privilege was an interest in the extortion postage too
strong for him to disclaim it. The ardent Reformer of
1835 has not as yet attempted a reform in 1841.

Mr. Colphoun's Bill respecting the College of May'
nooth is now printed, and we perceive that it accomplishes
two important objects--it puts an end to a legislative
raud, and it takes from the College of Maynooth a legis-
lative sanction. The fraud is, that the Act of the Irish
Parliament of the year 1800 (40 Gee. 111., c. 85),
while it professed to subject the College of Maynooth
to a visitation by the Lord Lieutenant, and by five of the
chief judges in Ireland—which, had it been real, would
have afforded to the public some sort of security for the cha-
racter of the instruction in the College—did, in fact, exclude
these functionaries from all knowledge, still more from all
power to interim a with the only part of the instruction which
it was material for the State to know. The act, there-
fore, places in the eyes of the public an ostensible visita-
tion, by which the State is deceived. It is of importance
that this deception should cease, and that the public should
know, what has been for forty years the truth, that the
State exercises no control whatever over the College of
Maynooth. Mr. Colquhoun's Bill takes from the official
visitors their pretended powers, and places the matter pal-
pably before the public.

We are glad to observe efforts are making to obtain
a more equitable adjustment of our fiscal arrangement as
regards the importation of Brazil sugars and coffee into
this country for home consumption. Mr. John B.
Moore and Mr. Saunders, from Liverpool, have
been deputed specially upon this subject, and have
had interviews with Lord Melbourne, Sir Robert
Peel, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Presi-
dent of the Board of Trade, Lcrd F. Egerton, and other
influential Mcrabers of Parliament, relating to this important
and ii.teresting topic. It is fearful to contemplate that a
trade of such magnitude, and so important as that carried
on with Brazil, shauld be jeopardised for the want of
timely and just cone ya.sions to bring the dut es down to
such a scale as to admit of those products being ad:nitted
for home consumption, which might be done, and st the
same time afford ample protection to our colonial interests.

French levity can scarcely be adduced. —Swinburne's

FATAL ACCIDENT AT EARL SEFTON'S
MANSION.—On Friday morning, between ten and eleven
o'clock, a most serious and appalling accident occurred
(and which in a few hours afterwards proved fatal) to
Thomas Crow, a journeyman painter, who was engaged
cleaning the exterior of the second floor windows in the
front of Earl Sefton's mansion, No. 10, Arlington-street,
Piccadilly, when the machine, on which the unfortunate
man stood, from being improperly affixed within, suddenly
gave way, and he was precipitated on the stone paving in
the court-yard. Assistance being procured, he was re-
moved to St. George's Hospital, where, after liage.ing a
few hours, death terminated his sufferings.
EXTRAORDINARY CASE.—Some weeks ago
a communication was made to Mr. Wakley, the Coroner,
