SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.

FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.

GLOBE.—'The Tory organs are somewhat oremature
in celebrating what they caq a triumph in the maj elty of
last night on Lord How iek's amendment. No doubt it is
a vote of dissent from the Government propos'ti in; and
so far it may be regarded as an advantoge to their oppo-
nents. But when we come to consider what the position
of parties upon this question is; and what a division of
opinion exists, not amongst Liberals only, but also in
the racks of the Opposition, upon the subject—we shall
clearly perceive that no Tory triumph has really been
gained, and that no party triumph on this questian in-
deed is possible. The two persons who ccnainly should
know best how this matter stands are Lori Hiwiek and
Lord Stanley—the former the mover of last night's amend-
ment, and the latter the original parent of all these Irish
propositions. .The firmer distinctly declared that he had
no right to expect the support of any organised party,
and no hostility towards the. Government. " It was
obvious that a settlement was impracticable, if both
sides of the House insisted on eaTying out t ) the utmost
the!r own peculiar opinions." The latter " was not pre-
pared ti adopt either the one plan or the other—either
the project of Lord Howick, or that of the Government.
Lord Stanley merely regards the rival Liberal projects as
two " Kilkenny cats," which he wishes to see cat each other
up. But there i 3 a third.liilkenny cat in this c ise—namely,
his own original measure : and if that of Lord Howick
and the Government real), should finish each other, as
he expects, it it quite certain that such a measure as
his will not pass by its&f. It is possible that no a:4l.er-
Trent may be come to about the franchise ; but it is cm tain
that no success will attend the bare and naked scheme of
disfranchisement. That would have been the Tory triumph;
or the triumph of the Stanley section of Toryism. Fer the
split is mere evident than ever in last night's debate. While
Lard Stanley said he was not preparel to adopt either
the one plan or the other; and that, while his Noble
Friend ( Lord Howick) had been very successful ir, ex-
posing the many faults which attended the plan of the
Government, the Noble Lord (Morpeth), on the other
bald, had done much is pointing out what would be the
defects of bit Noble Friend's plan in detail—Sir R. Peel,
on the other hand, is exceedingly complimentary to what
he calls the " admirable plan," in some respects, of Lord
Howick, and professes himself " not indisposed to consider"
its other provisions. Lord Stanley and Sir Robert Peelare
clearly on opposite tacks, and their dispositions are not
more opposed to Government than they are to each other.

C 0 UR I E R. Ministers, it will be seen, had, last night,
the astounding majority of 21 recorded against them, on
an amendment moved by Lord Howick upon the very first
clause of Lord Morpcth'a Irish Registration and Qualifi-
cation Bill. The object of this amendment suhrtantially
appears to he to preserve the rights of property in the
county franchise of Ireland, as contradistioguished from
the principle of the Government Bill, by which <ccupa•
tion and perjury were to be constituted or continued the
leading elements of that franchise. The working details
of the law by which Lord Howick seeks to accomplish
his aim were not very clearly stated by himself,
nor much better elucidated by Mr. Charles Wood,
by whom the amendment of his noble relative was
treated too much in the sense of a verbal alteration of a
clause merely, and too little in the light of the asser-
tion and maintenance of a principle adopted specially in
the Reform Bills both for Ireland and England. The
first clause of Lcrd Morpath's Bill, alluded to, " di-
rects the Poor-law Commissioners to certify to the Lord
Lieutenant when a Poor-rate shall be established in any
county or borough, and upon the Poor-leas Commis-
sioners so certifying, the Lord Lieutenant to declare
that, upon the expiration of one month, this Act shall
come into operation, in reference to the poor-rate regu-
lating the qualification of voters, and upon the expira-
tion of such calendar month this Act to come into opera-
tion, and thenceforward no person to be entitled as a
freeholder or leaseholder to be registered as a voter for
such county, in respect of any freehold or leasehold pro-
perty in his actual occupation, save as herein specified."
To which the amendment of Lord Ho wick is At page
2, line 11, after the words no person,' to omit all the
words to the end of the clause, and to insert ' claiming,
under any Act or Acts now in force, to bo entitled to be
registered, and to vote as a Parliamentary elector for any
county, in respect of any freehold or leasehold property
in his actual occupation, shall be deemed to have a bene-
ficial interst therein of the clear yearly value required
by such act or acts, except as hereinafter provided."
Wo shall content ourselves for the present with refer.
ring to the speeches of the mover and seconder for in-
formation on the somewhat complicated scheme proposed
for the regulation of the franchise, and to those of Lord
Stanley and Sir Robert Peel for an exposition of the rea-
rms why, in respect of the general principle, they sup-
ported the proposition of Lord Howick, whilst at the same
time cautiously guarding themselves against compromise
with its details. It is not, we declare, as a "party triumph"
that we are disposed tohail the decisive m sjority on this occa-
sion, for it must long have been very evident to all the
world that :f the Conservative party had been ambitious of
majorities, and ready to accept or achieve them upon the
same terms as those consecrated by Whig usage from time
immemorial, that is from the time of the first Whig, their
opportunities were not few and far between, of almost daily
occurrence during the course of sessions past and present.
STANDARD.—ANOTHER MINISTERIAL DEFEAT.
Ministers were last night again beaten. The disgrace, too,
was not a casual one ; it arose upon one of their own mea
stares, indeed, upon the trial measure of the Session—Lord
Morpeth'e Irish Registration Bill ; and upon the vital
principle of that Bill—the question of qualification.
The amount of disgrace, too, was considerable and
decisive ; for in a House of 566 members, the Adminis-
tration was left in a minority of twenty-one—a minority
which cannot be regarded as otherwise than important by
men who have not been ashamed to retain possession of
office by majorities of twos and threes. Such a ma-
jority against Ministers surely justifies the concluding
words of Sir Robert Peel's speech, though these
words referred to the causes of the disgrace, and not
to the disgrace itself, which had not been consums
mated wbca the Right Hon. Baronet spoke. " The
question," said Sir Robert, " was net whether or
no the franchise should be co-extensive with the
population ; the question which arose was this, whe-
ther her Majesty'i Government hod made a provision
which entitled them to the public confidence and
tho confidence of the House ? And he must
say, that the course which they had pursued on the Irish
franchise appeared to him to disentitle them to the confi-
dence of the House as of the country." This view was
received by the almost universal cheering of the House, and
more effectively ratified afterwards by the vote of the majo-
rity. The natural inference from this result—for which
inference no doubt all must have been more or less
prepared by the solemn threats of the Ministers that
they would resign upon a defeat—has forced itself
upon the minds of the supporters of the Cabinet.
The Morning Chronicle has this scorning an article
intended to expose the absurdity of the expectation
that Lord Melbourne and his colleagues will relin-
quish place and salary in consequence of their late de-
feat. This article labours to prove that the ruin of the
empire must be the effect of a charge of administration,
more Particularly now, when the Conservatives have to a
great extent succeeded in conciliating the Chartists. We
cannot recogcize the force of such arguments. It seems
to us that the conciliation of the only class who have
just grounds of complaint, and the only class who threaten
the peace of the country, is rather a recommendation of a
party to power than otherwise. Our Contemporary is, how-
ever, we have no doubt, correct in its conclusion, hoe ever
mistaken in its premises. We agree in the absurdity of ex-
pecting Ministers to resign, for reasons which, if they had
occurred to the Morning Chronicle, might have enabled
it to dispense with its loeg and ingeffious article. Mini-
sters trill not resign upo❑ a mere disgrace, ht.-cause they
love quarter-day, and are familiar with defeat a-id igno-
miny ; besides, they have still the apology for taking
buffets with their salaries, which has availed them for two
years—they arc still to guard, like Paladins, the interests
of the Ladies of the Bedchamber.
