LONDON:
MD NDA Y, MAY 2.5, 1840.

It is so .very seldom that we see anything to
praise in the sentiments of a Tory, and we have so
frequently reprobated the
political tergiversation of
Sir G.:SINCLAIR, who is said, like Sir C. LEMON,
to have been affronted by Lord MELBOURNE by-
inn' refused him a Peerage, that it would be must in
us to pass by Sir GEORGE'S speech on Friday
evening without commendation. We beg to be
understood, in speaking of the sentiments of the
Tories, as limiting ourselves exclusively to their
political sentiments. They may be very excellent
husbands, fathers, brothers, masters, &c., but the
theory of government they have adopted makes them
execrable rulers, and as politicians, who trample on
the people while they plunder and oppress them,
we have continually to condemn their sentiments,
When we find any one of them, therefore, expres-
sing a feeling favourable to the people, it is our
duty and our pleasure to notice it ; and when that
one is Sir GEORGE SINCLAIR, whom we have
often individually censured, to give any sentiments
of his we approve of the utmost prominency in our
power, is doubly our duty and our pleasure.
We shall not quote our own report of what Sir
GEORGE said, which, though quite accurate, wants
the corrections which it is understood S.
usually makes in his speeches before thear y
appear hi
the columns of our Tory Contemporaries. Taking
then what we presume to be the corrected version
of his speech, the following sentiments appear to us
worthy of public attention on account of their
truth :

I sball en this occasion proceed to take the liberty of
stating what I consider to be the temper and condition o

Metropolis? The Wizard of the North.—Have you seen him ?

not palled the public appetite : the Temple of Magic is still
thronged with miracle-beho!dinw auditors, who proclaim him to
be the only Wizard extant, and all' other assumptions of the Ne-
cromantic character vain and futile impositions. Do nut allow
Imp°, s, who build upon another's foundation, to deceive you ;
go to i untain-head at once.
REIL.I ER the GREAT and ONLY WIZARD, HE of
the NORTH, will,
On MONDAY, and EY ILRY EVENING during the Week,
