he Times, in an article the text of which is furnished
The new Poor-law, seems anxious to stir up insurrec-
hierong the Tory subordinates, and emphatically re-
ti.`/il„isa them that—notwithstanding the displeasure of
piE:-. lord and master-e•they must keep the promises they
their constituents on the subject of the law in
dc to '‘ What they promised to their constituents,"
WI-p
Pa,ti "they
on
the Times, promised, not for Sir Robert
esYsi but for themselves _;and those promises they must
redee,m. For any disappointment which the course taken
re the Government May occasion, none but the members
ilthe GoVernment and those who support them in it are
O'soonsible.; but every man is responsible for the breach
refs'.. own own word. As men of honour and public principle,
0,10 must have been sincere and earnest in the convic-
t Pods which they professed upon the hustings. As men
tt
*ertainine• those convictions, they must desire to see
e.°e`rti earrie% out. As supporters of the general policy
tn•..,ir 13. reel, they can feel no difficulty about pursuing
ol.:31, zeal and energy an independent course, upon a sub-
o'flaf which they are told, by members of both parties,
that
.t is not a party question. As Conservatives they
thst 1 feei the necessity of striving, through evil 'report
itteAsthiotigh good report, to identify Conservatism, not
o°,,uoision only, but in practice, with the interests and
in 'feelings of the working classes."—This is one of
those bursts of sturdy independence which our Contem-
,
.....r, is
POl, ..ctadcy.
/4'l)(tilhe Fost replies in the following terms, to the often-
;•„eated charge of the 'Reformers that Sir Robert Peel is
'„ditferent to the distresses of the people :7-----' We think
to Robert Robert Peel's Government is quite safe in trusting
tothe good sense and moderation of the people fbr an
fectuA reply to all the mighty clamour.which the disap-
e_isted Whig-Radicals are now making about the intended
Pu..oregation of Parliament. In the vexation of defeat,
to, exclaim that to prorogue the Parliament is to insult
Vneople. This is idle vapong, which may please
the 'moment the violent and the shallow, but conside
Iruate amen must regard it as absurd. , All insult depends
opou intention. Does any one,believe that, in proroguing
the Parliament, and taking time to consider what, mea-
woes are most fit for the country in its present state,
there is any wish to treat the public with contempt or
Aect ? No one can seriously hold such an opinion.
Pe' • •s
such word which has fallen from the new Premier
tcon-
vslictel) h
a rash and unfounded judgment."—As far
mere words go, Sir Robert Peel certainly evinces
as
,at sympathy with the people.; but his deeds are in
sirect contradiction to his words. His speedy prorogation
of Parliament is a deliberate insult to the country, and
his smooth, honied words only aggravate that insult.
The Herald says :---" Dr. Bowring, on moving for
potcorrespondence between the Home-office and
r-law Commissioners on the subject of distress
the
, with the Report of the Assistant-Commis-
inior,ile°ristenni't by her Majesty's Government to inquire into

-referred to in the debates of the present Session ; ad-
„Wiled that some discrepancies had found their way into
eils own former statements on this subject in the HouSe.

was mildly . rebuked by Sir James Graham—Sir
James holding out this case as one which should . ope-
rate warning to Hon. Members to assure theniselves
as
ofthe correctness of their information before hazard-
.o, statements ' as distressing as they were exciting.'
this precautionary suggestion was well illustrated by
.-ir Robert Peel's lecture to the Hon. Members for
port, Ashton, and Manchester, on the subject of
their
exaggerated allegations on a former night, touch-
e the extensive prevalence of the extremest degree of
in'nufacturing distress. The Premier took ' a short

ivilYeee to official papers and other documents of unques-
ere
• able weight, that their assertions had been carried
tl°°: unconscionably beyond any extent to which the
Totsest•
really went."
we quote the following from the Chronicle :—" BY
_.hat right was it ever assumed that Sir Robert Peel and
~r James Grahani would depart from the principle of
✓th'e new Poor-law ? What positive encouragement or
ored sanction have theafforded to that assumon?

lii, Dewy _Reporter says :—" For five months the coun-
a•iii.s• istO,be left in happy ignorance of the policy of the
o' edw 31iitistry. The merchant may hesitate in his traf-
; the agriculturist pause in his operations ; and, worse
an all, the millions, whose comforts are destroyed by
• restricted trade and high-priced food, may toil through
the inclemency of winter, with no defined prospect of a
more propitious sun dawning on the year that is to follow

The wretchedness of the expiring one."
Sherburne .Tournal observesl—" The Parliament
is to be abruptly prorogued, and five winter months are
to be passed over without the • slightest chance, or the
imoat distant hope given, of any improvement or allevia-
earl. The act involves a fearful responsibility. We be-
lieve that for ,this Sir Rebert Peel. is not entirely :to
blame ; the unhappy prospect arises out of difficulties
he could not prevent, except by refraining from
.' veituillic uhg to his aid the Duke of Buckingham, Sir Edward
Kiistchbull, and Sir James Graham."
The following is from the Inverness Courier :—" There
is, perhaps, something undignified in a statesman pro-
claiming that he has to seek for information to form his
much
opinions and shape his plans. Sir Robert Peel is too
the man of circumstances and expediency:; but con-
sidering the manifold.evils .of rash legislation, and tam-
mine- withmisc the commerce of the country (by which in-
xet-deurable hief might be inflicted), we should feel
far more disposed to grant delay than to hurry on igno-
rant and hasty measures.
The .Dublin Pilot, in an article on the subject of the
prorogation, remarks as follows :—" Everything post-
poneduntil next Session—that astonishing Session which
es to deyelope a depth of resource, and a remedy for exi-
