FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.
CHRONICLE—The public has repeatedly been invited to
observe and reprobate solitary instances of apostasy upon the
Opposition benches ; but attention has not yet been called, we
think, as much as it should be, to the number of prominent
Members of the Tory party, to whom the ignominious epithet
of renegade is most justly applicable. Let us merely enume-
rate the names of Graham, Stanley, and Burdett, in the
House of Commons; and those of Abinger, Lyndhurst, Phill-
potts, and Ashburton, in the House of Lords. On this side of
" another," but not " a better world," we gravely question if
such a mass of apostasy, in the most odious acceptation of the
term, was ever seen collected as there is to be found amongst
these seven Lords and Gentlemen. These seven champions of ail
monopoly, political, religious, and commercial, were once lead-
ers, or front-lank men, in every movement of their time in
the direction of liberal opinions, reformed institutions, and en-
lightened legislation. '1 hey were emancipationists, reform •
ers, patriots, free-traders ; wrote, harangued, argued, agitated,
all with ardour and vehemence, most of them with considera-
ble eloquence and talent, in support of those principles against
which they are now arrayed in the most active, furious and
virulent opposition, violating even the laws of fair hostility in
their ungovernable spleen against their old opinions and their
former friends—
" For renegadoes who ne'er turn by halves,
Are bound in conscience to be double knaves."
Such are the chiefs of the party that now aspire to rule this
country ; such must be the chief depositaries of power, and the
holders of the highest trusts and preferments in the State,
should the Tories regain office. A Cabinet composed of men
like these ought to be styled" The Apostates." There is no
occasion for us to draw the portraits of any of these candidates
for public confidence. One has dashed off the portrait of
another; Sir James Graham has painted Lord Abinger, and
inscribed the picture " recreant Whig."
"With little pains he made the picture true,
Since from himself he took the rogue he drew."
Should Lord Abinger take up the pencil he could not better
depict Sir James himself ; indeed, the one portrait answers for
them all ; they are all " recreant Whigs," and most becoming
leaders for " miscreant Tories." As invading armies take de-
serters and traitors for their guides through the hostile terri-
tories, so the Tories advance upon the British nation with a
knot of revolted Liberals in the front of their march. These
are the persons who we are told are to form " a strong Go-
vernment !" Bless the mark The Tories, it must be ad-
mitted, are strong—in turncoats, but it happens fortunately
for the public interests, that strength of this description
—immoral strength is the utmost weakness. It is
not in England that an Administration composed of
the drummed-out deserters from any political standard
can ever hold office by a secure tenure, or with a firm
grasp Character is still something in this country ; in par-
ticular it is an indispensable element in a valid title to the
highest offices of the State, in the service of a virtuous people
and a patriot Queen. The title of the Tory chiefs is bad;
there is the fatal flaw of want of character. Some time since,
the Poor-law Commissioners in Ireland conferred an office of
the value of ten pounds a year, and duties proportionally tri-
vial, upon an individual, who was afterwards alleged to have
been a bankrupt. Tory virtue instantly took fire. Appoint a
bankrupt to a clerkship of ten pouni's a year value ! But moral
bankruptcy—bankruptcy of character—is nothing in those
eyes which are " too pure to behold the iniquity " of
an unfortunate bankruptcy in trade. A bankrupt
shopkeeper is unworthy to be a poor-law clerk ; but a
morally bankrupt faction is fit to rule the empire !. To
parcel out the various Tory interests amongst this list of re-
creants above enumerated would be easy. Lord Stanley, for
example, would naturally take under his special patronage
the Orangemen, whom in 1831 he denounced in the language
of a fish-wife, as the " last remnant of an expiring faction."
The repealers of the Reform Act would look up to Sir James
Graham as their proper chief ; to Lord Ashburton's lot would
fill, consensu uranium, the leadership of the Corn...law sup-
porters, Lord Ashburton having been in former days the
very head and front of Anti-Corn• law agitation ; and like ap-
propriate eirty work would be found without the slightest diffi-
culty for the rest of this dishonourable band, whose public
lives ought to be written and published collectively as " The
Gallery of Illustrious Living Apostates," or the " Lives of the
Renegadoes."
POST.—We are aware of the danger of indulging ourselves
or encouraging others in a too sanguine view of the probable
result of the coming elections, but we think we may very ra-
tionally place much reliance upon the good sense and good
feeling of the British people at the present crisis. We wish
every Conservative to bear in mind that the best exertion he
can make to return Members to Parliament who will oppose
the present Adminisfiation is no more than his bounden duty.
There can be no excuse for lukewarmness or remissness upon
such an occasion; but we hope that activity, instead of being
aba'ed, will be encouraged by the excellent prospect of success
which is before us. We think the dishonest shuffling of
this Ministry has become apparent to the great body of the
people of England. Their common sense is not to be
imposed upon by such shallow effrontery as that which
is resorted to by the present Ministers and their adherents.
The most extraordinary efforts are made by big words, and ex-
travagant tropes and figures, to persuade them that the new
measures proposed by Ministers are all for the popular good.
But these efforts, we hope, will be of very little avail, because
it is so very palpable to the observation of every reasonable
man that the representation is not true, and that these mea-
sures have been proposed merely as a shift to retain office. If
Ministers believe that these measures will do the people all the
good which they say they will do, why were they not sooner
brought forward ? What is the reason that when, hitherto,
such measures have been brought forward, these same Minis-
ters have opposed them ? It is very possible that mea-
sures may be politic at one time which were not politic at an-
other ; but that is either because had effects which would pro-
bably have resulted at one time, are not likely to result at an-
other, or because good effects may reasonably be expected
at one time, of which at a former time there was no reason-
able expectation. But no such charge as this either has been
or can be adduced to account for the present Ministe ;
rial policy. The objections which they urged, no later than
last year. against the admission of foreign sugar and foreign
corn, exist this year in a similar or a greater degree. The oh
jection to the admission of foreign sugar (even when it was,
allowed that the supply from our own colonies was inadequate)
rested on the ground that it would be an encouragement to the
employment of slave labour in the foreign colonies, and that we,
having abolished slave labour in our own colonies, ought not to
alter the law for the purpose of admitting the produce of slave
labour in foreign colonies. This was the argment of Nlinisti-rs
themselves last year. They have not shown, nor can they
show, that there is any less cogency in the argument this year
than there was last year; and, as to the good of the people,
last year an additional supply of sugar was very much more
required than it is this year. Last year it was very scarce and
very dear. This vear it is neither the one nor the other.
HERALD.—There seems abundant reason to anticipate
that the general election, at the eve of which we have some-
what abruptly arrived, will be distinguished from its predeces-
sors of 1837, 1835, and 1832, by intensity of political excite-
ment among the constituencies, and by increased enterprise
and activity among the candidates. A war of principles as
well as party—of a conflict of opinions against tactics—is at
hand. The Conservatives have thrown down the gauntlet.
They have defied the Whig-powers to the combat, and they
have already signally vanquished them. But the latter—
strong, only, in the favour of the Court—have not, as true men
would have done, confessed themselves worsted and left the
lists, with the honours and rewards of victory, to their
more puissant and more fortunate rivals ; but, skulking
behind the barriers within which they have been driven, persist,
with dogged obstinacy, to demand of the judges another trial
of their strength and chivalry. It has pleased, we suppose, the
" Peerless Lady" of their mutual devotions to concede to the
vanquished the prayer of their petition. And thus, the re-
creant knights (of the shires) with their esquires (or burgesses
representing boroughs) have obtained breathing time and
recovered some little vantage ground against the renewed
battle which they have obtained permission to wage upon
their conquerors, not without some violence to the usages
of such courts on such occasions. In short, after their
signal defeat on the vote of " no confidence," these
Whigs—who ought incontinently to have abandoned the reins
of Government which they were thus declared by the unim-
peachable sentence of the House of Commons to be unworthy
and incapable of holding—these adhesibe Whigs will not be
detached from the posts they cannot occupy. At least, they
cannot occupy them without being occasionally rubbed off,
and occasionally stuck on again, by the vigilant care of patrons
whose regard for their personal interests would appear to over-
look all Ministerial deficiencies. It seems to have been deter-
mined, however, either among themselves or in higher quarters,
that in then de'perate condition,there were but two alternatives
which they could resort to. Either they must have been re-
mitted to the Postmaster-General, and by his Lordship and
Mr. Rowland Bill anointed all over with penny-post un-
guent of the most tenacious quality, or they must undergo the
severe and unsparing operation of a general election, which
would reform and polish] those members of their body, which
it did not destroy, and turn them into some forms better
adapted to remain in the positions they proposed to keep,—if
they could.
GLOBE.—We look in vain through the Tory journals
for a discussion of the. all-important questions on which
an appeal is about to be made to the electoral bodies of
the 2ountry. In the place of arguments against the pro-
posed measures of the Government, we are furnished
with plentiful tirades of abuse of Ministers for having
introduced them, and a sweeping attack is made upon
the motives assumed to have influenced their proceed-
ings. In thus shifting the true and only ground
on which the question in issue rests, to one which
is incidental, if not extraneous, these journals hope to
succeed in withdrawing attention from the real merits of
the question ; and, by exciting an unfounded prejudice
against the Ministers, succeed in entrapping a few in-
cautious and uninformed persons into voting against the
e.ndidates who are pledged to support the measures, as
those called for by the declining trade of the country, and
the distre:
s and suffering which that declension has pro-
duced.lf we- Idecline to meet our antagonists upon the
gr,nd which they Wave found it convenient to select, it is
because we regard the-I'.
nterests of the people as of infi-
nitely higher value than evert the character of the Go-
vernment. If we be asked, whether we think the Go-
vernment ought to have brought forward the proposed
measures we may fairly reply by a
reference attoantheearfillieesr
we have, during a long course of years, demon-
opferic;ioddr journal, which prove that
,
demon-
strated the injury which restrictions upon our commerce
with foreign nations were producing upon the manu-
facturing interests of the country ; and that the ad
vantages supposed to accrue to the agriculturists from
these restrictions, were hypothetical, and not real. The
inference is plain, that we should have hailed the intro-
duction of such measures as the Government has now
originated at an earlier period with satisfaction ; and
would then, as now, have supported them with what-
ever humble assistance we could give. We believe the
Government would have done well had they brought
them before Parliament, as Cabinet measures, at an
earlier period. The only benefit of delay has been to
show that a change which would then have been highly
beneficial has now become' essential ; and that further
postponement of the remedy would not merely add to
existing calamities, but would place the interests now
trembhng in the balance beyond the possibility of re-
covery.
COURIER.—Let us take, like Sterne, a single victim
of the Whig-Radical "accursed" Corn-laws, and lay him
on the table, for dissection if you will. And that impar-
tiality may not be questioned in the selection, we shall not
take little soapy Hawes, who lathers Lord John Russell
with his suds in return for sundry Treasury pickings and
places past and prospective, which may render him in-
different about the cruel hardship of paying eight pence
the quartern loaf when it may be had abroad for six-
pence—but one who toils hard all day to get " the profits
of capital raised," and -who is himself groaning and
sweating. under the heavy incubus of that monster
capital, in camparison with the burden and agony of
which slave labour is. idle sport,-and even mill work and
billy rollering, for sixteen hours a day, is pure sunshine
holiday malung. The hapless victim in question shall
be no other than Mr. Samuel Jones Loyd himself, the
story of whose struggles through life, with those of his
predecessors, is absolutely enough to attract scalding
tears " down Pluto's iron cheek." We have read that

" a good man struggling with the frowns of fate" is
noble subject for contemplation and instruction, but how
in..initelz superior the lesson and edification of—
" A rich ¶nan struggling with the gifts of fortune."

gantle reader, the surpassing"hardships of a man
with but one million and a half of sterling wealth
in actual possession, and only two millions more in posi-
tive reversion, condemned to the grinding tax of paying
2d. per lb. for bread in this country when abroad he
might cram to repletion at the rate of one penny, or, if
fancy inclined; on black bread at a halfpenny per lb. and
sour wine at one farthing per bottle. Never in the
annals of London Tavern gathering and gorging, will
be forgotten that indescribable glance—
., Woe begone,
As Priam looked, when at the dead of night,
They drew his curtains to tell him
That his Troy was ta'en"—
with which the imploringlanker besought the sad sym-
pathy of a merciful meeting, as Sir Matthew (not
Jemmy) Wood detailed the dreadful ditty of his dis-
tresses, when truthfully complimenting him on the in-
calculable amount of his property in the funds. Many
are the daily histories of poverty-stricken wretches
perishing for want under the mild Administra-
tion of New Poor-laws, in the very midst of a
plethoric abundance of comestibles, but rare, indeed,
is the horrific spectacle of an, " unswaddled viant,"
of capital uncountable, smothered under the in-
supportable pressure
.of that "demon form" of Corn-
laws, which rigorously exact sixpence a week extra from
Dives, the dealer in gold, in order to soothe the sad suf-
ferings of pauper agriculturist Lazarus. The whole story
indeed of the monev-makinc, but Corn-law-hating family
of Loyd is full of' melancholy interest. It has laud-
ably and industriously migrated in an incredibly short
space of time from the smithy and the Unitarian
pulpit, if report may be trusted, to west-end palaces
and cheek-by-jowl neighbourship with the Bank of
England itself. Its mortgage claws may be perhaps on
many a man's land for goodly tens of thousands of acres,
with an " itching palm" towards foreclosure, as invidi-
ously thought, on the advent of Corn-law repeal. In
Three per Cents. its fortunes are prodigious, but then
Consols are not corn. What avails, however, all this
boundless wealth when the rapacity for more is insatia-
ble, and the hungering appetite unappeasable ? The
cry is still for the " profits of capital to be raised," for
the reconversion of Three per Cents. into Fives, for a
cheap loaf, lower wages, and starvation poor laws.
STANDARD.—The correspondent of a Ministerial
journal furnishes the following facts:—
" From documents in my possession as executor, I find that
in the year 1799 my testator contracted to victual for a year
11.000 Frenchmen, prisoners of war at Stapleton prison, Nor-
man Cross prison, and Gosport and Porchester prisons.
"The dietary was 10 ounces avoirdupois of beef, 20 ounces
avoirdupois of wheaten bread, and 1 quart of beer, of the qua-
. .

lity served out to the British navy. -
" I assume that dietary as the consumption of seventeen
million adults, half that dietary as the consumption of six
million chi dren (not eating as fully as an adult does), and
that two to four million infants suck at the breast, making
the population of Great Britain and Ireland, of from about
25 to 27 millions."
The purpose of the writer is to prove (are we vain in
thinking that our exposure called for the attempt ?)
that ,Mr. Joseph Hume was right when he said that
the Corn-laws operate as a tax of 50,000,0001.
annually ; and this proof is sought to be effected
by assuming that the diet of the French prisoners in
1799 is the average dietary of the people of the United
Kingdom in 1841. We should rejoice in the belief that
such is the case, and we should not the less rejoice be-
cause such a result would abundantly prove the wisdom
of the laws under which we live; for it could not matter
a jot to the people what taxes, direct or indirect, they
paid, or to whom they paid them, if still they enjoyed
a surplus plenty; but with the hypothesis that the dietary
of the French prisoners in 1799 is the average dietary of
the people of the United Kingdom, all calculation built
upon that hypothesis must fall to the ground ; and away
with it goes Mr. Hume's Corn-law tax. There is, more-
over, a consideration necessary to all these questions,
which Mr. Hume and the rest of the free-traders

keep carefully out of sight. What a man pays is not al-
ways loss to him : as well say that the tax collector, who
brings in his weekly bag to the Treasury, is- himself the
tributary : or say that he who pays a tax out of re-
sources created by a system of which tax is part, really
contributes the whole amount : he may to some ex-
tent—even to the extent of the whole payment,

or beyond, it—be a gainer by that fiery tax ;
and this last is, questionless, the case of whatever is
paid for British grain beyond the Continental price ;
but, though the fact furnished is useless for its, de-
signed purpose, it is all important in relation to another
question—the question of the New Poor-law. Does the So-
merset House dietary even approach the dietary of the
French prisoners in 1799 ? No, not by the one-half.

MONEY, MARKET and CITY NEWS

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.

CHRONJCLE.—The announcement of an-Austrian loan of
75,000,000 florins, being upwards of six millions sterling, said
to be taken by the Messrs. Rothschild at 103 for a 5 per cent.
stock (although some doubt exists as to the specific rate of in-
terest), produced a flatness in the funds. Consols, which
opened at 89b sellers, declined to 89 sellers; the closing price,
however, was 99 buyers. Bank Stock, 167 i to, 8i; and Ex-
chequer Bills, 4s. to 6s. prem.
The Share Market was heavy. Great Westerns gave way
30s. and Brightons 15s. per share. A failure of a share
broker at Liverpool is supposed to have increased the depres-
sion in the Railway Market.
POST.—The home securities remain at pretty much the
same figures as at the close of business yesterday. Consols
(shut) arc quoted 894 for Money, and 89 to for the opening ; -
Three per Cent. Reduced Annuities 69 to A ; Three. ancl-a-
Half per Cent. ditto, 98 to t ; Exchequer Bills 4s. to 6s.
prem. ; India Bonds, is. dis. to Is, prem. ; Bank Stock 1671
to 164. Application was made to the Bank by a party
fur permission to make a transfer of new Three-and-a-
Half per Cent. Annuities on the payment of the or-
dinary fee, those funds having closed for the dividend.
The reply given was, *hat none of these irregular trans-
fers had been permitted by the Governor during the last three
or four days, and that no more business could now take place
in the closed stocks until the re-opening of the transfer-books
in the usual course. Such being the case, how does it happen
that in the dtficial lists of the Stock Exchange, we should, this
very day, find the above quotation of Consols for money at
894 ? At the termination of the day's transactions there was
a difference in the values, as for money and for time, of per
cent., a rate of continuation which, coupled with the other
circumstance adverted to, leads to the inevitable conclusion
that there must be a juggle' somewhere. The Committee
of the Stock Exchange will, perhaps, enable their
chosen organ to reconcile the palpable discrepancy
there is between the assertion made at the Bank and the con-
tinued quotation of money dealings in the teeth of that asser-
tion. There should be as little mystery as possible in all
money operations, especially where the public are likely to be
injuriously affected by it. 'I he position'of the market for Bank
Stock, the last quotation to-day being 168%, seems to leave
no doubt that the heavy transactions in it lately reported
must have been by order of the Cou.t of Chancery; and,
had an intimation been given on the subject, there is good
reason to suppose that the business might have been got
through on terms mutually satisfactory and beneficial to all
parties, for it is equally to the interest of the buyer and the
seller that important bargains of the sort should be regulated
by the salutary test of general competition.
In a petition to her Majesty and both Reuses of Parliament,
signed by the merchants of Montreal, the policy and necessity
of a repeal of all duties now levied in England on articles of
colonial produce are strongly urged, as well as the desiratility
of preventing the produce of the United States of America
from being exported to the United Kingdom on the same
terms.
