In reference to the Leeds Address, the Morning Post
has the fbllowing remarks :—" We find in the Journals
of the Whig-Radical party a long inflammatory address,
which purports to proceed from some sort of political
club, called a Parliamentary Reform Association.' The
sentiments and language of this address are at once
rabid and ridiculous, hut that does not prevent it from
being mischievous. Neither does it stand in the way of
the fulsome praises of Whig-Radical Editors, who seem
to think that truth and moderation are by no means re-
quisites of a political address, and that the more mischiev-
ous it is the better it is entitled not only to their notice
but their eulogium. The copy or the address, which we
have seen, is signed 'J. G. Marshal.' "—The Address in
question may be " mischievous," but it is so only to the
Tories, who are themselves the great instruments of mis-
chief. To the people at large, the facts which it states,
and the inferences which it draws from those facts, will
be highly useful, as tending to open their eyes to the true
character of monopolists and monopoly. Well may a
Tory Journal call it " mischievous," for it strikes a blow
at Toryism, the effects of which it will be slow to recover.
The Chronicle observes, in the course of an article on
the distressed state of the country :—" We do not won-
der that Sir Robert Peel should be in no humour to re-
ceive the deputation from Paisley courteously. The
connection between the sufferings at Paisley and the
sliding scale must tend to fill the mind of the Right Ho-
nourable Baronet with painful apprehensions for the
future. The recess, however lung, must hsve its
termination. Many of the sufferers will have been cal-
led to their long account by the time when Parliameet
re-assembles ; but those who survive the misery will
be in no humour to be amused by the hollow declara-
tions of the Premier.- Tu lus mull, George Dandin!
He hesitated not to sacrifice the welfare and
peace .of the country to the sordid views of a sordid
and selfish party ; and the reckoning awaits him."—
The Tory Premier's temper—notwithstanding his late
boast of perfect independence—will not be much im-
proved by his knowledge of the fact, that he is not the
!nester of his own actions ; that even if he desired- to
shorten the recess, and bring forward some measure for
the relief of the country, the aristocratic party, of whom
he is the tool and the cat's-paw, would not allow him to
do so. Paisley, or a hundred Paisleys, may cry to hire
for assistance ; all the manufacturing towns in the coun-
try may swell the clamour ; proof after proof, each more
convincing than the last, may be adduced to show the
extreme distress to which the bulk of the working classes
are reduced ; and still Sir Robert Peel will be compelled
to turn a deaf ear to all arguments and all remonstrances!
He is bound to hear only with the ears of the aristo-
cracy—to see only with their eyes—to legislate only with
their understanding. The Duke of Richmond has dared
him to do otherwise ; and it is not, we repeat, one Pais-
ley, or a hundred Paisleys, that will induce him to de-
spise the threats of his master, or rather masters.
The Times is of opinion that the storm on the Cana-
dian frontier will blow oven—that, in fact, it is nothing
more than a storm in a teapot :—" We confidently re-
peat our opinion," adds the Times, " that this Grogan
;Asir, when despoiled of the fabricated aggraViAions of
the Ameeleen press, will present no obstacle whatever
to the amicable. adjustment of our American relations.
Connected with M-Leod's acquittal. which we confidently
believe has ere now been performed with infinite stage
effect, thero will doubtless remain a few minor questions
for after consideration ; and, although the Americans be
rather indifferent bolters, we are much mistaken if they
do not, for once, make a reasonably wide mouth, for the
sake of keeping a sound and comfortable skin."
The Advertiser, alluding to the Report of an English
Bishop .being sent out to Jerusalem, says :--"The Church
of England has no more right to saddle Jerusalem with
an Episcopal ilishq than the Greek Church would have
to plant a Greek Bishopric in the metropolis of Eng-
land. Neither has the converted Jew, who is to be sent
out to fill the embryo See, any more right to call him-
self the Bishop of Jerusalem, nay, not even a Bishop of
Jerusalem, than any Patriarch of the Greek Church
would have were he to come over and settle in the metro-
polis, to call himself the Bishop, or a Bishop ofLondon."—
If an English Bishop is really to be sent out to Jerusa-
lem, We etheuld respectfully recommend the appoint-
ment of Doctor Philipetts ; for he can easily be spared
from the See of Exeter ; and besides, an apostle of
such surpassing holiness, never falling asleep during
It vine Service, and never tumbling out of his pew front
the intensity of his slumber, that he is the very one of
all others to do honour to the metropolis of the dole
Land !

The Dublin Evening Post has the following comments
on Lord Londonderry's advice to the Newtownards far-
mers :—" Lord Londonderry has been very scurvily treated
by Sir Robert Peel ; but we are free to acquit him of all
personal feeling in regard to the utterance of this warn-
ing to the landlords. He knows the Doctor well, and
being free from place or party engagements, he has given
his honest opinions to the landlords of Ulster. But if
the Doctor should prescribe an akerative system, how
cdti the landlords help themselves ? They can assist
to dismiss the Doctor."

The Worcestershire Chronicle says :—"The alliance
between Chartism and Toryism, effected for electioneer-
ing purposes, is beginning to be troublesome to the latter.
The Tory press dilated with great glee, and Tory speak-
ers dwelt with infinite animation on the success of the
Chartists in foiling and defeating Anti.Cern-law meet-
ings, and all Liberal meetings hed for any other object
short of procuring the adop•lon of the People's Charter.
But a recent instance has shown the Tories that their
own assemblies are by no means proof against Chartist
intrusion, and they now discover that the machine they
first employed for their own mean purposes, is destined,
like the monster animated by Frankenstein, to ben curse
and stumbling-block to those who first set it going. The
invention returns to plague the inventor."
Speaking of Lord Ellenborough's Indian appointment,
the York Courant says :—" There was an uncertainty
as to the firmness of Lord Ellenborough, in his adher-
ence to the monopolising
,system, and consequently, a
sop so savoury as the Government of India was pre-
sented to him, in order that there might 4 be no mistake'
about the unanimity of the Cabinet. From this appoint-
ment it may b., presumed that the Tories calculate upon
a long reign." •
