PUBLIC OPINION.

The Chronicle observes, in answer to a leading article
that appeared in the Times of Wednesday—" Hypocrisy
and cant have been systematically employed by Toryism
as instruments of political warfare, Hence so much of
the alleged progress of false moral principles' as may
actually have been made in the country. People are in
no real danger of being misled by tale or drama into
deeds which bring their necks a ithin peril of the halter.
They are much more likely to be corrupted by the
unimpeachable vice that is hailed with plaudits by
a party, and wins its prosperous way in the
world. If the substitution of one pamphlet for
another makes a hit in Parliamentary debate, is
loudly cheered by honourable gentlemen, and con-
tinues to be praised and echoed even after the de-
tection, that tends to promote false moral principles.'
If electors are cajoled out of their votes by deceitful
professions, and their integrity broken down by bribes,
and their suffrages commanded as a property; and the
triumphant doers of all this wrong
:are extolled for their
successes—this tends to promote false moral prin-
ciples.' "—This is justly and forcibly put by the Chro-
nicle. The triumph of Toryism is, indeed, the triumph
of cant—the triumph of conventional respectability—
that is to say, of the show rather than the substance—
of the appearance of respectability, rather than the thing
itself. It is not the Reformers who inculcate " false
moral principles," but their sworn opponents, the Tories.
Thvea ore the orlon who trade on cant and trickery, and
thrive by appealing to the weaknesses and the prejudices
of the people.

The Post says—" The great object of the civil gover-
nors of a populous kingdom should be to.encourage, and
theretbre to protect, profitable industry—not industry in
this or that department, for which it may be supposed
the country affords the greatest amount of natural faci-
lity, but all branches of industry. If any profitable
branch can be introduced over and above those branches
for which the country affords natural facilities, great is
the merit of the introducer. If any nation be dependent
upon foreign countries for any commodity of general use,
and tending to general comfort, the Government which,
by judicious encouragement and protections, enables that
nation to produce for itself the commodity which for-
merly it had to obtain from abroad, deserves the praise
of a wise, an able, and a patriotic • Government."—
We agree with the Post that the great object of Minis-
ters should be to encourage and protect profitable in-
dustry; but do they so? Assuredly not; on the contrary
they throw every obstacle in the way of industry; they
hamper it with vexatious restrictions; they manacle its
legs, and then say " walk;" they tie its arms behind its
back, and then say " work!" Indeed it seems the chief
object of their policy to make industry as little profitable
as possible. Trade—commerce—industry, in its every
form and shape—ail are ruthlessly sacrificed to mono-
poly, because the monopolists happen to have power on
their side, while their opponents have nothing but jus-
tice and common-sense to recommend their cause.

The Herald remarks, in allusion to the character and
tendency of the Puseyite doctrines—" Puseyism, like
the Papal policy, concedes all things to all men to meet
the exigencies of a present purpose. It abandons not an
iota of its propositions, in subsequently carrying out the
extensive scheme of its organic innovations. There is
little resulting difference between the infallibility boldly
challenged for itself by the Romish Church, and the in-
herent fallibility imputed, almost contemptuously' as
a Protestant divine has well observed, by Puseyism to
the established Protestant Church of this country.
Either pretension,—the claim of the one, or the demur-
rer of the other—if well founded, is equally fatal to the
purity of the creed, the antiquity of the discipline, the
legitimacy of the episcopal succession, the prescription
of the rights,—or the constitutional and national cha-
racter of the true, existing, ANGLICAN Church."—
The besetting defect of Toryism is, that it denies the
claims of man to the character of a thinking being. Its
main object is to keep his mind in leading-strings ; to
treat him at though he were a child ; to build up a wall
around him, beyond which he shall not presume to pass.
It is the legitimate offspring—fashioned, however, accord-
ing to the altered tone of the times—of that spirit of
bigotry which instituted the Inquisition, and kept Catho-
lic Europe in darkness for centuries. Dissent is of a far
nobler character. Whither right or wrong in some of
its tenets, it is at least a struggle for freedom of thought,
an attempt to rescue the human mind from the galling
chains flung round it by bigoted and intolerant High-
Churchmen.

We quote the following from the Times :—"Although
we cannot wonder that Mr. Sharman Crawford, and
other respectable Irishmen, well-wishers to their coun-
try, should feel indignation when they see the Chief
Magistrate of Dublin coquetting with treason in the
Corn-Exchange, and boasting of the American succours
whom he can at a fortnight's notice import into Ireland,
we think the patriotism of these honest men greatly mag-
nifies the mischief which they expose. Upon this side
of the Channel the performances of Daniel O'Connell
and his dupes have become merely ridiculous, and fail to
command public attention, even when they are Most
magniloquent, and when there is the greatest dearth of
ordinary topics of interest. .As for their raising appre-
hension in the mind of any well-informed Englishman,
we should as soon expect to hear of the Duke of Welling-
ton and Sir Robert Peel quaking before the exterminating
edicts of the Emperor of China."
The Dublin Evening Post thus alludes to Sir Robert
Peel's Irish policy :—" We all know the real value of
Orange support in Ireland. Sir Robert Pcel well knows
that the vagabonds' once destroyed his Administra-
tion; and Sir Henry Hardinge has avowed, that he would
sooner lose his only arm, than attempt to govern this
country through a faction so overbearing, yet so power-
less. But it is the policy
.of the Tory Government, to
proceed to extremes against the popular party, and,
therefore, the Orange faction, hateful and puerile as it
-is, are adopted as the most fitting instruments of the
Executive."
Speaking of the birth of the Prince of Wales, the
Cheltenham Examiner remarks :—" Our congratulation is
not without its measure of alloy. We are sorry her Ma-
jesty has been so ill-timed in her favours ; the party
which now surround her is not the one to which we
would confide the education of a Prince, destined perhaps
some fifty years hence to preside over our councils. If
the Tories are lagging behind the spirit of the present
day, how can they legislate for the succeeding generation."
The York Courant observes, in reference to the alarm-
ing increase of incendiary fires :—" But there is a
quarter to which these beacon fires ought to speak with
a voice of solemn warning. What must be the thought
of the continuance of the tranquillity of that country
where such things as these are matters of daily occur-
rence ! Does it not indicate that some deep and secret
discontent is brooding, of which, like the fitful flashing
of the volcano, these are but the forerunners of the
overwhelming eruption which is about to follow ? Yet
still with all these serious portents, supineness and pro-
crastination is the established principle of policy acted
upon by our new governors."

ROYAL ADELAIDE GALLERY.
FIRES OF LONDON.
Last evening we were one of a group of nearly one
thousand persons who heard with infinite pleasure a
lecture delivered by Mr. Abraham Booth, F.S.S., Pro-
fessor of Chemistry, upon combustion, spontaneous and
artificial. By artificial combustion we mean, fire pro-
duced by mechanical means, controllable, if cautious
measures were adopted. This seemed to us to be the
chief object of the lecture, and Mr. Booth was very suc-
cessful in his demonstrations illustrative of it. There
was some difficulty in obtaining for the lecture a proper
attention. His diagrams, hung round the gallery and
intended to illustrate his lecture, served to divert the at-
tention of the aulience from the important subject which
he was endeavouring to explain to them. We can do
the public and the Lecturer no greater • service than to
repeat as nearly as we can the words that fell from him.
Mr. Booth said that of all the calamities which afflicted
man in social life there were none so destructive, or
severely felt as those of fire. Pestilence may
ravage our districts, and our houses may be
assailed by the midnight depredator, but the
awful calamity of fire despoils human life, and ravages
our property with all its insidious uncertainty and
suddenness. By improved modes of living, and availing
ourselves of all the aids of professional skill, we may
secure ourselves with some immunity from disease; and
increased vigilance in protection may defeat the plans of
the nocturnal marauder; but fire, regardless of all cau-
tious attempts at security, seems to set at defiance all
our endeavours. No class, neither sex nor age, are
exempt, for it ravages alike the mansions of the rich,
and despoils of his all the humbler abode of the cottager.
The last few 3 ears have been particularly rife in these
calamities. We have witnessed the destruction of a
senate house, in which the eloquence of our land stood
conspicuous ; the destruction of a Royal Exchange, the
centre of the commercial transactions of the globe ; of
an Armoury, containing munitions of war which have
led to conquest, and trophies resulting from their
triumphs ; of warehouses abounding with property; 91
mansions adorned with everything rich and reciter* in
luxury ; and of Town-halls; the centre of commerce and
intercourse in their different localities; as well as theatres
of great and national interest.
Mr. Booth next analysed, in a very interesting man-
ner, the causes of all the fires in London for a period of
five years. These lie resolved into, controllable and un-
controllable causes, the first class embracing a very
large majority of the cases. The diagrams contained a
large mass of statistical details, which length will not
allow us to specify. Mr. Booth's remarks on spon-
taneous combustion as the cause of fires, were par-
ticularly deserving of notice, as they elucidated the
origin of many fires, the causes of which were previously
unknown. We understand that this ingenious and
scientific gentleman has been examined before the Com-
mittee of the Board of Ordnance, sitting at the Tower,
on the question of the origin of the late fire. After the
Board retired, an unanimous opinion was expressed that
Mr. Booth had clearly shown that the fire might have
originated from circumstances over which none of the
persons in attendance could have any control ; and that,
however strong might be the suspicion that there was
incendiarism, natural causes were sufficient to account
for the catastrophe.
The Infant Harpist afterwards delighted the crowded
assemblage with her surprising performances on the
harp. The powers of this inspired pupil of the Muses
have already been described in this paper.
The performances. of Mr. Emanuel upon the piano,
and of Mr. Sedgwick upon the concertina, were very
warmly applauded. These gentlemen deserve more
especial notice than the subordinate part which they
take in the orchestra enables us to give them.
THE DAGUERREOTYPE.—The few days of clear wea-
ther with which we have been lately blessed, notwith-
standing the interposition of occasional feg, have enabled
M. Claudit to produce life-like portraits by the operation
of the rays of the sun alone. We have seen a likeness
.stamped upon the plate with all the force and truth of
real life in one second, by means of M. Claudit's im-
proved process, when the sun had hid himself behind a
thick veil of nitrous and carbonic cloud, and seemed
ashamed to look upon his own work.
