SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS
PROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS D.Y.
CHRONICLE.—The agitation for the repeal of the
Corn Monopoly becomes daily more and more important.
0 ne interosting feature in the accounts from several district,
; the participation by the agriculturists in the feeling
of the other classes. The Carlisle Journal inserts a pe-
cition, " which is now," it says, " in the course of signa-
tare amongst the agriculturists of the east ward of the
county of Westmorland ; and we are delighted to hear,
on authority on which we can fully rely, that the majo-
:.ity of the farmers in that purely agricultural district
prefer a fixed duty to the present sliding scale." Our
colmans of this day contain also a report of a meeting at
Torquay, in which all classes equally join against mono-
, poly. Another favourable sign of the times is the re-
currence to meetings in the open air. At Manchester,
a requisition, signed by 5,390 working men, inha-
bitants • of that borough, requesting th Mayor to
call and preside over an Anti-Corn-law meeting, to be
held in the open air, was presented to that Magistrate.
-ho, however, declined, on the ground that a public
meeting of the borough had been held a few days ago for
the same object. The requisitionists, determined on
the zneeting, convened one for Wednesday next,
.to be held in Stoaenson's-square, "for the purpose of pro-
Waling against the lizead-tax." A circumstance is no-
ticed by the Manchester Guardian, which indicates in a
a tanner not to be mistaken, the atrength of the feeling in
of a repeal of the corn monopoly in the manufac-
turing districts. " Our adVertising coiamns this day,"
rays that Journal, " contain the addresses of all the
aia. candidates for the boroughs of Manchester and
Salford ; and it may not be uninstructive to our
readers to point out the fact, that all of these gen-
ti.emen, without exception, appear desirous of placing
their claims to the suffrages of the electors, mainly upon
the ground of their attachment to the principles of free
trade, and their hostility to the Corn laws.' As Man-
chester and Salford are not the only places where candi-
dates will profess principles of free trade in order to be
able to support a party opposed to the principles of free
trade, constituencies ought to look beyond the mere pro-
ssicn free trade principles. The trick is somewhat
of the shallowest to profess one set of principles in towns
and another in counties, in order to gain by both sets of
principles. The question is not how individual sup-
porters of Sir Robert Peel would vote on the Corn-law
question, but what effect would the giving the Right
lion. Baronet a majority in Parliament have on the fate
Of that question ?
TBlES.—Before animadverting upon any of the Mi-
l:l:aerial speeches delivered in the House of Commons on
.friday night, we think it right to express, in the strong-
eat terms we can employ,' our opinion of one passage
in the speech of a Conservative Member. Lord
Teignmouth is reported to have said, " That for some
of the measures of the Government he admitted that
ti:e greatest praise was due to them, and the Noble
Lord (Lord John Russell) deserved inn nortd honour
—the measures for the support of the Established
Church, the alteration (f the Poor-law, and, above
1!,- the n 0613 stand he made (lining the last Ses-
:;ion for the privileges of that House. In those
r.-:peets the .Aroble Lord deserved the highest praise."
V'e trust we are not intolerant of other men's
jadgments ; we have no desire to make a personal
attack upon Lord Teignmouth because he thinks dif-
farently from ourselves ; but we cannot regard the tone
nd manner of this passage, in which he has so gratuitously
chosen to express his admiration of the new Poor law and
the inflexibility of his attachment to privilege, as any
less than a defiance of those who differ from him
upon these two important questions. After such an an-
aouncement, discovering such utter contrariety of feeling
taal iiraconeileable hostility to the views entertained by
tate great body of people upon two subjects in which
their rights and liberties. are essentially involved, we
should despise any man who, professing himself to be
far liberty against privilege, or fel- the. poor against the
am Poor-law, could yet tender his vote to Lord Teieu-
.. mouth-at any future Parliamentary election—we should
Inispise him, ay, as much as the experience of Thursday

-aaaott thq4l.lu4stv4o. side of the House. Latterly he has
g a Conservative, by chang-

S

ing his side and voting pretty steadily against the Go-
vernment proposition. Inconstancy,' however, seems to
be too essential a quality in his nature to admit of his
pursuing any one line of action long ; and now, when he
may be supposed to think his vote of rather• more than
usual importance, he discovers that after all " black's not
so black," and restores his support to the Whigs at the
moment when they more than ever deserve to lose it.
We know not whether there is any secret history to all
this ; but if there is not, Mr. Ingham must be the
weakest of mankind. His conduct is such as no class,
no party, no individual in the kingdom can do other-
wise than despise : a constituency which submitted
for the future to have its influence kept in perpetual
oscillation by such a see-saw representative would be-
come the laughing-stock of the kingdom. He will, of
course, be swept away with other similar lumber at the
approaching general election.
POST.—There can be no doubt whatever that Lord
Worsley by his recent conduct has forfeited whatever
title he formerly possessed to represent the electors of a
district so peculiarly agricultural as that of North Lin-
colnshire. His Lordship affects to be a friend to British
agriculture, and to this assumed character, and the so-
cial position which seemed to guarantee its sincerity, he
is indebted for his seat. His Lordship has now, however,
made it clear to the most dimsighted and careless ob-
server that he is less the friend of British agriculture
than the friend of Lord Melbourne's Government. _
to be the Friend of Lord Melbourris Govetnment was
not per-se any- recommendation of his Lordship to the
agricultural constituency which he represents, for a
great majority of the latter are avowed and proclaimed
Conservatives, who never trusted the professions of
Lord Melbourne's Government in the matter of the
Corn-law, and sent Lord Worsley to Parliament chiefly
because they thought that he and such supporters of Lord
Melbourne's Government, as they expected him to prove,
would keep that Government right upon the one im-
portant subject, or, in the event of its going wrong,
withdraw their support. Lord Worsley is not, nor does
he assume to be, in the same position with those friends
of agriculture who affect to think that its interests may
be adequately and permanently protected by Lord John
Russell's fixed duty of eight shillings per quarter for
wheat, and proportionate duties for the cheaper descrip-
tions of grain. Lord Worsley knows and declares that
this is not an adequate protection, nor does he attempt to
conceal his belief that, inadequate as it is, the Govern-
ment that proposes would not be able permanently to
maintain it. The case presented to the mind of this re-
presentative of North Lincolnshire, and distinctly recog-
nised by him as the case upon which his decision is to
be given, is one of comparison merely between the
importance and necessity of endeavouring to secure
adequate protection to British agriculture on the
one hand, and the importance and necessity of endea-
vouring to secure the continued services of the
present Ministers on the other. Lord Worsley gives
advisedly and deliberately his preference to the latter
object. Does not the Noble Lord know that among his
Lincolnshire constituents there are ten to one who would
come without a moment's hesitation to an opposite deci-
sion in the same case ? And, knowing this, can he en-
tertain so mean an opinion of them as to expect that he
will be permitted any longer to remain their represen-
tative ? His Lordship is so deeply convinced that the
proposed alteration of the Corn-law would be ruinous
to the agricultural classes, and injurious to the whole
community, that he is determined to vote against the
whole and every part of the Ministerial budget which
contains this proposal ; and immediately after expres-
sing this determination, and explaining the grounds of
it in the strongest terms, he proceeds to give a vote the
keep in power Ministers whose proposal it is, and the
leading object of whose future policy must necessarily
be to ensure its success. To say that men who are ca-
pable in such a matter of the inconsistency and folly
which Lord Worsley has displayed are unfit to repre-
sent an English county would be saying little. Such
aien cannot be fit to represent any body, or even to act
,vith credit or success in the most ordinary affairs of life.

HERALD.—In our leading article of Saturday last,
we assured our readers that the speech of Sir James
'24raham of the preceding evening would well repay the
nest attentive perusal. We might have added, that it
,vas one of the inort suggestive which had been delivered

e the course of the debate. If we recur to it on the
)resent occasion, we do so not with the intention to ex-
;ress ourselves in terms of linguaßiled praise of its
. ariety, of the important topics it embraced, and of the
devcrness and spirit with which they were handled—
dthough it was eminently entitled to the highest appro-
')ation in respect of all these particulars. But we gladly
avail ourselves of the opportunity that a brief
:otice of it will afford us for fixing a few
alient points, on which are most prominently
lrn-
nessed those relations that we desire to see expanded
fltl devoted to ends as salutary as we believe they
would be permanent. To borrow a phrase from our po-
lemical divines, we desire " to improve" the present po-
sition of parties in the Legislature to loftier purposes
than even that which we have so much at heart—the
athstitution of a Conservative for a Whig Radical Go-
ernment. It appears to us that on the statements made
n the course of Sir Ja.-nes Graham's speech, it behoves
:he country to take securities that its support of future
,tlatinistrations shall be-given to principles rather than
mrties—to measures rather than to men. It behoves the
conservative constituencies to remember that they will
;oon have the opportunity of disembarrassing the cause
'f those principles. which they have espoused so delibe-
:ately, maintained so unflinchingly, and adhered to
through every variety 'of adverse fortune until the ad-
ent of that season of triumph which is about to open on
Thew' from-sonle alliances which could scarcely have
wen forced upon it but by the irresistible force of cir-
cumstances. There transpired enough in tic discus-
sions of Thursday and Friday last, in the House of

,ommons to demonstrate the precarious and 'itreacherous
.iature of those confederacies which political converts form
vith the parties whose opinions they suddenly espoUse,
after opposing, for many years, with persevering and ira-
dacable hostility, We are sorry to place the name of
:Jr. Ingham in the same category of political offenders
.with Lord Worsley, as the Ipswich prototype of this
Judas school—Mr. Gibson. But we extract a moral
from our disappointinent. Let us learn to test present
wetensions a little more sternly by past conduct ; and
above all we should beware of applying, on the score of
he party of a candidate for public confidence a less
;earthing examination as to. his political principles and
)pinions than we should insist upon his passing, in his
simple individual capacity. The fight is to be made for
a holy and a magnificent cause—the Constitution of
Great Britain, in Church and State. Let us have for its
champions those only who will espouse them both ;—as to
the former, without bigotry, but with a determination to
uphold the just rights of the Establishment ; as to the
latter, without harshness or illiberality, but with uncom-
promising firmness wherever a constitutional privilege is
to be upheld, or a legal right to be vindicated.
ADVERTISER—We regret that by some inadver-
tence the British Queen and Statesman newspaper of yes-
terday was led into the mistake of stating Commodore Sir
Charles Napier was appointed to the command at Lis-
:)on. We suppose the mistake originated from con-
tindino• the gallant Commodore with Commander Na-
pier, the gallant officer who has bean appointed to the
Pelican, which vessel sailed from Portsmouth on Friday
ror Lisbon. That the hero of the Syrian war should ap-
pear to be transported to a foreign station by an elec-
tioneering trick, may be very agreeable to the wishes of
a certain gentleman who aspires to the representation of
Marylebone; but we assure that aspirant that the worthy
electors of that independent borough are too old birds
`o be caught by such young chaff. In any case of
such importance to the interests of the borough of Mary-
lebone there cannot be a question of doubt as to the
man of their choice—the hero who has waved
" the meteor flag of England" over the Syrian coast—
a hero whose fame and naval exploits extend over the
world—and a gentleman whose merit seems to be that
in the liberal borough of Marylebone he has been only
four times rejected ! Our readers will be sorry to see
by a letter from Commodore Sir Charles Napier, in
another part of our paper, that he has resigned his com-
mand in the Mediterranean ; but they will at the same
time be pleased to learn that a man who had done so
much honour to his country on land and sea, is ready and
willing to do his best in the senate if the worthy and
patriotic electors of Marylebone will do honour to them-
selves by sending him to Parliament as their naval Am-
bassador in the cause of Reform for the good of the
people—a representative who will do his utmost against
monopoly in all its various ramifications—whether it be
in corn, sugar, or timber. Commodore Napier is pledged
to a thcirough reform in all depirtments, and more espe-
cially in thd navy, of which he has proved himself the
leading star.

where so many brutalising scenes of debauchery were practised.

THE FRENCH COUNTERPART TO

THE ENGLISH CORN-LAWS.
There has been a good deal of skirmishing in the
House'of Lords on the Corn-laws. Lord Fitzwilliam,
Lord. Radnor, and Lord Clarendon have successfully
combated the misrepresentations and fallacies of the
monopolists ; and on Tuesday Lord Lansdowne made a
very able speech, in which he clearly showed the mis-
carriage of the sliding scale, and also very happi4j illus-
trated the consequences of attempting to make ti coun-
try independent of foreign supplies of corn by the pa-
rallel absurdity of France in endeavouring to make
herself independent of foreign supplies of oxen.
As to the sliding scale, Lord Lansdowne remarked :
" A fixed duty had been called a delusion, but there
never was a greater delusion than that of supposing, that
the sliding scale gave a steady protection to the agricul-
ture of the country. He was aware—and he only stated
what he knew could be proved—that parties in different
parts of the country had agreed to cram the market with
a particular kind of corn, on three or four market days
preceding the striking of the averages ; and this was
done for the purpose of controlling and obstructino•
act of the Legislature. The consequence , that the
averages suddenly rose to a price which foreign corn
could come in at a very;wduty, and then one or two
millions of quart of corn were suddenly thrown in.
The r;; ,g law was the lever with which these
parties effected this operation, by which, at a sacrifice of
30,0001. or 40,000/., they made 300,0001. or 400,0001.
at the expense of the revenue. What was the conse-
quence ? This corn did not come in the regular course
of trade, which would enable merchants, millers, and far-
mers to calculate upon it ; but it was suddenly thrown in,
and consequently there was a necessity for its being paid
for in money ; and then, in addition to the, evil to the
farmer, if there was any evil to the farmer, the whole
community was disturbed by a derangement of the cur-
rency, the export of the precious metals, ajul the disorder
of the paper currency of the country. The introduction
of foreign corn, which in the regular course of trade
would have been perfectly innoxious, produced all these
evils, because it was sudden and unexpected. This had
occurred in the autumn of 1839, and it was repeated in
the autumn of 1840."

The doctrine of protection, to the degree of producing
independence of foreign supplies, was thus happily exem-
plified by Lord Lansdowne in an apt parallel, coming with
peculiarly good effect in retort—
" A Noble Lord opposite thought to make out a tri-
umphant case of the superiority of the condition of the
people of this country over that of the people of France,
among other nations, by quoting from M. Cunin Gri-
daine a statement how lean the French oxen were in com-
parison with the English oxen, the one, as he said, not
being half so big as the other ; but had it never occurred
to the Noble Lord that these very lean oxen were the crea-
tures of protection ?—(Hear, hear.) That these very lean
oxen were precisely the result of the protection which the
French legislature had thought proper to extend to French
graziers, the French graziers insisting upon it that all
France must inevitably starve if it, depended upon any
other country for its supply of oxen ?—(Hear, hear.) It
wes admitted that-French oxen were, as the Noble Lord
said, lean, but the French graziers said, Give us time,
and we'll let you have such fine fat oxen some time or other, if
you won't let anybody else supply you but French graziers.
(Hear.) Besides it would never do to allow fat German
oxen to be admitted into France, lest, peradventure the
principles of some of the German illuminati might get in
with them.—(A laugh.) From the leanness of French oxen
might an illustration be drawn as to the effect of similar
protection upon our agricultural produce.—(Hear, hear.)
It was said that it was impossible for a nation to get on
without it extended protection to its various interests ;
yet in Switzerland, where it had not been thought neces-
sary to have a system of protection, every branch of
industry was greatly improving, both in agriculture and
manufactures, though there was no country in Europe
which contained a larger proportion of poor land than
there was in Switzerland.—(Hear, hear, hear.) He did
not mean that, while other interests were protected,
agriculture should be deprived of protection, but he was
fully persuaded, that not only the general prosperity of
the country, but that of agriculture itself, would be promoted
by the change now proposed.—(Hear, hear.) Ile himself
was a considerable landowner; he depended, indeed, en-
tirely on land,' and the land he possessed was not free from
those incumbrances which it had been urged so materially
aggravated the disadvantages under which the agricultural
interest laboured ; but, he would repeat, he was fully con-
vinced that not only he himself would not suffer, but rather
benefit by the change, but he was convinced also that the class
to which he belonged would not suffer, but rather benefit by
the change as a body.(Hear, hear.)

The farmers in. England are not more improved in
condition by protection than the oxen in France. Both are
brought to the leanest possible state by the excessive care
of their Legislatures. Some time go we proposed that the
argument that the Corn-laws served the farmers should
be brought to the test by an annual farmers! show, like
the cattle show, in which might be exhibited those prize
farmers who have fattened on the system of protection.
A farmer who had increased his capital by a large per
centage would be as great a wonder, we suspect, as .a
fat ox in France.

If the oxen of France could speak upon occasion, as
the oxen of ancient Rome used to do now and then in
the Forum, would they bless the protection which makes
them so small and slim, or would they take Wiser views of
the interests of their flesh than our Buekinghams and
Knatchbuils would assign to our farmers ?—Examiner.

UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.
FURTHER ENDOWMENT OF THE UNIVERSITY

OF DURHAM.

At a Convocation holckn on Saturday, May 22, 1841,
the scheme of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners for Eng-
land, for the further endowment of the University, was
laid before Convocation and received the approbation of
the House.

The scheme is drawn up in pursuance of the intentions
and engagments of the late Bishop Van Mildert, and in
accordance with the previous resolution of the Ecclesi-
astical Commissioners to make certain arrangements
with respect to the Deanery and Canonries of the Ca-
thedral Church of Durham, with a view to maintaining
the University of Durham in a state of respectability and
efficiency.__ _ _

The following are the principal provisions of the
scheme :

The office of Warden, upon the first vacancy, is to be
attached to the Deanery of Durham • the present War-
den receiving 5001. annually during his incumbency.
A Canonry in the Cathedral Church is to be attached
to each of the Professorships of Divinity and Greek.
The present Professor of Mathematics is to be ap-
pointed Professor of Mathematics and Astronomy, with
an annual salary of 700/.

When the office of Warden shall be annexed to the
Deanery, the salary of 5001., paid to the► present -War-
den during his incumbency, is to be applied to found a
Professorship of Hebrew and the other Oriental Lan-
guages.
In addition:to the six Fellowships already founded by
the Dean and Chapter, there are to be founded eighteen
Fellowships, making twenty-four such Fellowships in
the whole. Two of such eighteen Fellowships are to be
founded on the. 29th day of September, 1841, and the
same number in each year until the year 1849 inclusive.
Eight only of the twenty-four Fellows who have exceed-
ed the age of 23, are allowed to continue Laymen. The
Lay Fellowships are tenable for eight, the Clerical for
ten years. They are to be of the annual value of 1201.,
the ten senior Clerical Fellows receiving 1501.
Candidates for Fellowships must have been admitted
to the degree of B.A. in the University of Durham, and
are to be elected according to the regulations now in
force, or such other regulations as shall be duly made
for securing the election of the most meritorious candi-
date, regard being always had to moral character as well
as to learning.
The Fellowships are to be vacated by marriage or ec-
clesiastical preferment. _ _ _

Towards providing the funds for making these pay-
ments, all the estate and interest now vested in the Ec-
clesiastical Commissioners, in the lands, &c., formerly
assigned to the Deanery and to the eleventh Canonry of
the Cathedral Church of Durham (all tithes being ex-
cepted) are to be vested in the Warden, Masters, and
Scholars of the University of Durham ; and when it
shall become necessary, further provision is to be made
for granting such additional endowment, as may appear
to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners necessary for making
up the deficiency.

MRS. MABERLEY'S NEW NOVEL, " THE
LOVE-MATCH."—Judging, from the unanimous tone of
the various opinions on this new novel of Mrs. Maber-
ley, its success promises to •be even more decided than
that of " Emily." The following is from the Weekly
Chronicle :—" We have not read. for a long time so pleas-
ing a novel as The Love-Match.' The power with
with which the characters are drawn—the admirable
manner in which they are balanced with one another— the
strain of melancholy running through the. story, deepen-
ing as it proceeds, and ending so pathetically—nll com-
bine to render it a most interesting and moving novel,
The contrast which Be Grey, the old fascinating man of
the world, presents to the gentle, unsuspecting Florence
—the clever picture of the old dowager Lily Maywood,
and the intriguing Julia—all bespeak the power of the
authoress, 4nci her intimate knowledge of that society
which she so bare 4 and ex
poses in these admirable vo,
lumes."

STATE OF TRADE.—We have no improvement
to report.—Trade still continues in a very depressed itate.
