declining; and he told us himself in so many express
words, that When he got the fee, he would prescribe the
remedy; Well; he has touched the fee, and now coolly
tells tis, while pocketting it, that we must whistle for the
let tiiitil spring !
The Herald observes, in reference to some recently
published accounts of the annual territofitil revenues
and disbursements of the East India Company :—" We
are not of that squeamish and Humeish school of politi-
cians which is hOrrified at the very sound of a public
debt ; nor do we think that the Mile of a eountry bur-
dened with great national charges alway 4 ttfiee from
heavy taxation ; the purposes for which national liabili-
tiet nifty have been incurred; they convert a prima facie
curse into a great blessing ; and it is easy to repay,
and more than repay, a people for the amount eAtracted
from them iti taxes: But then the debt so created
must in such case have tact ii expended in benefiting
the people by increasing the resotiren And capa-
bilities of the country, through the formal/It/ of
those great elementary improvements which would ren-
der it more attractive to capital, sow, we fear these
Indian debts have not been incurred for any such great
objects, and we search in vain through the earl
Auckland's Administration for any trace of great public
works, for any large amendment of the civil or criminal
law, for any improvement in its administration; for any
rendering of the police more effective, less terrible to the
innocent, and more repressive of guilt; for any alteration
of the land tenures: in short, for any one act which
would have rendered India more attractive to British
capital, which is its great and primary want. The truth,
is, that the military successes of the Earl of Auckland's
Goverment have somewhat obscured a most defective
internal administration."

The Post thus apologizes for the delay of Ministers in
Winging, forward their remedial schemes:—" What a
wicked Conseriative Government,' cry the Whig-Radi-
dais. The consideration of the.eundition of the coun-
try is put off till February.' Indeed it is not. On the
contrary, the condition of the country is already tinder
the consideration of the Conservative Government, and
will be so during the period of the prorogation, what-
ever that may be. Some people have been so long in the
habit of looking at Whig-Radical Government, or the
scramble which passed for Government, that they do
not know what real Government is. It is not for the
purpose of making a show in Parliament that the Con-
servatives have-taken office ; but in order that the
country may be governed better than it has been.
For this purpose, a great deal of consideration in the
Cabinet, and in the minds of individual Ministers,
is neolssary. The Ministers do not want
merely to talk to the public through the medium
of Parliamentary debates, and reports in the
newspapers There was enough of that mode of manag-
ing affairs during the last six years. The resent Go-
vernment is resolved to do something; and in order to
do it well, It must be maturely considered beforehand."—
The Past Is quite correct in its assertion that the " pre-
geili defetnrtietit la resolved to do something"—hut un-
fortunately this " sotncthing" is only for itself. Its re-
solution is already taken to cling to place with the tena-
city of a limpet to a rock ; to do as little as it can pos-
sibly help for the people, and to delay that little :o the
latest moment. Five long dreary months must the la-
bouring oltiaten wait, until they have even a chance of
having their condition bettered. At the end of that
time Sit Robert Peel gives them—not a positive assur•
ace, hilt it fagot, hint, that he will be delivered of some
scheme or other for their benefit. In other words, the
Tory mountain, after being five months in labour, will
brirg forth a mouse !

The Dublin Evening Post, alluding to Sir IL Peel's
late Wee!! hi Parliament, says :—" Here is comfort for
the starving millions. Here is a splendid justification of
Sir Robert Peel and the Tories, for having forced them-
selves upon a reluctant Sovereign, on the fa-$3 and hollow
pretence of carrying on the Government of the country
upon principles to which they have been all their live;
opprmed."
The Berwick Advertiser says of the Peel Ministry, that
its " intention seems to be to abandon the pursuit of
every object for which the faction have been clamouring
for the last half-dozen years, and to attempt, if pos-
sible, nothing at all, in the way either of doing or of un-
TlieLeeds Times says :—" What are the Corn-laws
but the brand of slavery. attached to every man, woman,
and child in these kingdoms ? They are the emblem
of a caste privileged to oppress as much as ere the chains
and the whips of the West Indian slaveowners; and it
is as much the duty and the interest of all the indus-
trious classes to put down the slave-laws of the Mono-
polist Aristocracy at home, as it was to put down the
slave laws of the same Monopolist Aristocracy abroad."
The Edinburgh -Weekly Chronicle makes the following
remarks on the subject of the prorogation of Parliament:
—" If Parliament, after its solemn and unanimous re-
cognition of the existence of national suffering and the
necessity of inquiring into it, allow itself to be prorogued
without doing anything, it will outrage and insult the
nation, It will declare, that believing all classes to be
uridargeflug great pressure, it will not take the trouble to
inquire whether i; can do anything to diminish the pres-
sure."
