PILTZLIC OPZIVZON..

in r4.ferer,ce to the Leeds Address, the Morning Post
has tht;folloaring remarks :7--`! 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, but 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 110 means re-
quisites of a political address, and that the more miSchier-
ous it is the better it is entitled not only to their notice
but their eulogium. The copy of 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 long, must have its
termination. Many of the sufferers will have been cal-
led to their long account by the time when Parliament
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 coda, George Dundin
He hesitated not' to sacrifice the welfare' are'
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'
master 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 when)
he is the tool and-the cat's'spaw, would not allow him to
do so. Paisley, or a hundred:Paisleys; may cry to him
for assistance ; all the manufacturing towns in the coun-
try may swell the ciamiair ; 'proof after proof; each more
convincine. 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 du 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 over;—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
affair, when despoiled of the fabricated aggravations of
the American press, will present no obstacle whatever
vi the amicable, qdjustioent of our American relations.
Connected with 31.-Leod's acquittal, which we confidently
believe has_ere now been perforthed with infinite stage
effect, therewill 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 Adtrti.ier, 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 Bishop 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 au English Bishop is really to be sent out to Jerusa-
lem, we should. respectfully recommend the appoint-
ment of Doctor Phillpotts ; for he can easily be spared
from the See of Exeter ; and is, besides, an apostle of
such surpassing holiness, never falling asleep during
Divine Service, and never tumbling out of his pew from
,the intensity of his slumber, that he is the very one of
all others to dO honour to the metropolis of the Holy
Land !

Tho Dhllin-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 ; hut we are free to acquit NM 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 hoaest opinions to the landlords of !lister. But if
the Doctor should prescribe an aterativi system, how
can the landlords he'p themselVes P 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-
ersn dwelt with infinite animation. on the success of the
Chartists in foiling and defeatinff" Anti Corn-law meet-
ings, an.l all Liberal meetings held for any other object
short of procuring the adopion 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 dis,:over that the machine, they
first employed fur their own mean purposes,. is des:inga,
like the monster animated by Frankenstein, to be a curse
and stumbling-block to those who first set it going. The
invention returns to plague the inventor."

Speaking of Lord hienborough'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 gavintry as the• Government of India was pre-
sented to.him,'in order that there might be no mistake'
about the unanimity of the Cabinet. From this appoint,.
meat it may.be preSumed thattlfe Ti,ries calculate upon
a long reign." •
