Majesty's Speech at the table.
Several lion. Members then shook hands with the
Speaker, and the House separated.

At Thirty-five minutes after Two her Majesty left
the House of Lords on her return to the Palace, and was
again loudly cheered along the whole line, as she passed.
His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex was also greeted
with enthusiastic cheering. Her Majesty looked
exceedingly well and seemed highly gratified at the man-
ner in which she was greeted by her loyal subjects. The
ground waß kept by the Royal Horse Guards Blue, and
the police arrangements for preserving order were, as
usual, admirable.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.
GLOBE.—Nothing more would be required to assure
the result of the great appeal which is solemnly made
by the Sovereign this day to her people, than that all
should understand its purport. and act on their under-
standing. The monopolist interests are in an un-
doubted minority. How many of the natural ma-
jority they can detach is another question. But
at least they should not be suffered to have
any sincere supporters • there should be no mis-
take in the public mind about the real nature of
the contest. It is quite intelligible that the measures on
which the appeal will be made to the country should be
met'with strenuous opposition. What is not intelligible
is affected indifference to them. There can be no real
indifference here excepting from ignorance. The deci-
sion on the appeal now making can be indifferent to
no man in the country. It is perfectly legitimate, in
those who oppose themselves to the measures of Minis-
ters, to demonstrate, if they can, to the country that
those measures are most pernicious, most mischievous,
most dangerous. But it is not legitimate, it is not
honest, to make believe that nothing is proposed !—that
there is really no question at issue between the parties
which divide the country, excepting which of them is to
possess official power—that Whigs are no better than
Tories, and Tories no worse than Whigs, on these ques-
tions of practical, administrative, and fiscal reform.
Surely the question must suggest itself to an enlightened
constituency—lf Tory performance in office is to come
up, at least, to Liberal promise, how does it happen that
Tory proposals in Opposition have given no earnest
of it ? We have had Opposition, for some time past,
wide awake to financial deficiency. We have bad
them making the best use of it, to molest Ministers as
much as possible. How does it happen that we have
never had the least hint of Liberal measures in any de-
partment of financial or commercial policy ? How
does it happen that, free from official responsibilities,
they have remained tongue-tied as to any approximation
to free trade foi the relief of industry ? We believe
that no one has ever thought of asking this question.
But why not ? If Opposition are what they pretend
themselves, the legitimate successors of Huskisson, and
the zealous partners in all his policy, they ought to
have shone out in the season of approaching embarrass•
ment, and anticipated Ministers in all that is Huskis-
sonian in their policy. If they have not done so, it is
because such policy has never naturally been iat of
their party. It is Liberal policy thrust for awhile on
Tory adoption, and thrust out again, with Huskisson
himself, from a Wellington Cabinet. ,
STANDARD.—" 'The House of Commons, which
has declared itself in favour of new taxes and monopoly,
will this day be prorogued by her Majesty, in order
forthwith to be sent about its business., and to the hands
of the constituent bodies will be confided the cause of
THE QUEEN AND THE Puormi." Thus unceremo-
niously does the ministerial journal, the Morning Chro-
nicle, dispatch the Parliament that has for four yew%
supported its patrons in office. The ingratitude is all of
a piece with the cruelty perpetrated upon Lord Pliiiiltet,
but our Contemporary ought not to add injustice to
ingratitude. The dying Varliament never declared in
I favour of now taxes except upon that occasion when
it was led to declare for them, and enact them too,
Iby her Majesty's Ministers—we allude to the lii' oi,

I are unable to conjecture whether the ROjill AddfOSs tri

ungracious spirit as the Morning Chronicle's notice—but
we think it not improbable that such will be the
case. And now, as we have mentioned poor Lord
Plunket, let us have a word about that ill-used
nobleman. It appears from the statement of his
Lordship's friends, that he has had more than one
hint that his place was wanted, and that he
refused to stir until some Liberal Member of
the Irish bar, qualified to take , his place as
Chancellor, could be found. This was a great improve-
ment upon the dilatory plea of the first Lord Norbury,
who, when urged to retire, claimed a right tO consult a
friend at Calcutta before forming his determination. The
Indian voyage might questionless be repeated a doteli
times before Lord Plunket's condition could be satisfied.

the public at what bar he has practised ? The
peolutuption will be in favour, no doubt, of the
Judge who has- practised at the bar affording the more
extensive opportunities for acquiring professional
knowledge ; as between Thighttid and Ireland, clearly
at the English bar. It is very well for those who
would exclude all persons of English birth from office
in Ireland who are foreigners, and, who, following
up their principles, must refuse allegiance to- a
foreign Queen for Queen Victoria is, we are
proud to say, an Englishwoman—it is very well for
such 'persons to raise an outcry against an English
Chancellor in Ireland ; but surely it is ridiculous for
the members of a profession who know nothing of
that profession except from English writers and
;English -Jullges, to juin in the outcry. To be con-
sistent, such persons must make a holocaust of their law
Jibraries—throw Blackstone upon Coke, and Hardwicke
and Vesey upon both, and reduce all to cinders, prepa-
ratory, we suppose, to the Phoenix birth of some Irish
system of law and equity, to be compiled by a Liberal
member of the Irish bar.

THE NEW LORD CHANCELLOR

OF IRELAND.

We are concerned to perceive by the Dublin
newspapers which we received yesterday, that
objections are made to the appointment of Sir
J ohn Campbell, not from any thing personal
to the Learned Gentleman, but on the ground
that he is not a Member of the Irish bar.
From the intelligence and liberality of the
gentlemen practising in the Four Courts, we
should have supposed that they would have been
above any such jealousy, and that they would
have seen the great advantage which would
arise to both parts of the United Kingdom, if
English lawyers were occasionally selected to
preside in the Irish Courts, and Irish lawyers in
the English Courts. But we find a complete
misapprehension exists with respect to the case
of Lord Plunket, when appointed by Mr. Can-
ning, Master of the Rolls in England in the year
1827. It is supposed that the English bar
met and came to a resolution against practising
before him, whereby his appointment was recalled.
Now we can state on the most correct information
that the bar never met, nor, as a body came to
any resolution or expressed any opinion upon
the subject. A few individuals blamed the ap-
pointment without the authority or concurrence
of the bar, and their murmurs, which would have
soon died away, coining to the ears of Mr.
Plunket he very unnecessarily and very un-
fortunately shrunk back, and declined to take his
seat at the Rolls. Had he done so, as his best
friends advised him to do, there cannot be a
doubt that he would have been received by the
English bar with perfect respect and cordiality;
and a precedent would have been established
which would have led to gentlemen being taken
from the Irish bar to fill judicial situations in
England, in all cases in which they might be
considered more competent, or having higher
claims to promotion, than gentlemen at the Eng-
lish bar.

_______
Sir J. HOBHOUSE presented a petition from a place
in Wilts, in favour of a total repeal of the Corn-laws.
Sir R. INGLIS presented a petition from Chelsea, in
favour of Church Extension.
Mr. HAWES presented nineteen petitions from
various parts of the metropolis against the Corn-laws.
Mr. ESTCOURT wished to ask the Chancellor of the
Exchequer if he had made any provision out of the Sup-
plies for the next six months for the payment of the half-
year's salary due to the Chairman of the Committee of
Ways and 'Means.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER could
assure the Hon. Member that if no provision had been
made in the usual way for the payment of the
salary of the Chairman of the Committee of Ways
and Means, it was not from any feeling against that Gen-
tleman, but from the state of the Session. He would
however take care that some measure was adopted for
the payment of the salary forthwith. The subject then
dropped.

This interchange has been carried on, benefi-
cially, between England and Scotland.
Lord Loughborough and Lord Brougham, suc-
cessively Chancellors of England, commenced
their career at the Scotch bar; and Sir Samuel

have certainly had full share of promotion of
late years, as we have heard it stated that while
Sir J. Campbell has been Attorney-General of
England there have been seven or eight distin-
guished men who haire held the office of Attor-
ney-General of Ireland, and most of whom are
now, with great credit to themselves and benefit
to the public, presiding in the Courts of Justice
in their own country.

The religious disqualification by which Roman
Catholics are prevented from filling the office of
Chancellor we should be glad to see done away
with. But for this, O'Loghlen, one of the greatest
Equity Judges who have appeared in England or
Ireland since the time of Lord Hardwick, ought
undoubtedly to have been the successor of Lord
Plunket. All the circumstances of the case being
considered, we believe it must be allowed that a
better appointment could not have been made
than that of Sir J. Campbell. His renunciation
of the pension must acquit him, as well as the
Government, of any sordid motive in the ar-
rangement; and we are not exactly sure whe-
ther any gentleman at the Irish bar would at the
present moment have accepted the office on the
same terms.

The Dublin newspapers likewise mention a
rumour that there was something disrespectful
to Lord Plunket in the manner in which his
resignation was brought about. But for
this there cannot be the slightest foun-
dation. Every one must have been disposed
to consult the feelings of a man who has done
such honour to Ireland and to the United
Kingdom, as an orator and a statesman, as well
as a lawyer. It is well known that from his ve-
nerable age and increasing infirmities, he has
for some time expressed a wish to be relieved
from the fatigues of office, that he may enjoy
in domestic life that dignified ease to which,
from his long and eminent services, he is so justly
entitled.—Morning Chronicle.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.

A young rough-looking fellow, who said that his name
was George Williams, although he called himself John
Smith, when taken into custody on the preceding night,
was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with having
broken into the house of Mr. Dobson, corn merchant,
No. 3, Billiter-square, on Sunday morning, and stolen
silver spoons and other property.
James Pavitt, City policeman, No. 536, deposed, that
on Sunday morning, at two o'clock, as he was on duty
in Billiter-square, he saw a glimmering light in the
kitchen of Mr. Dobson's house, and the shutters which
were inside partly open. He observed that the person
within then pulled the shutters together, and he went a
few yards further and remained quiet. Presently the
shutters were opened again, and the prisoner, who was
the party in the kitchen, put out his head and looked
about, but upon seeing witness drew himself in and dis-
appeared. Witness rung the bell and knocked at the
door to alarm the inmates, being convinced that at least
one thief was in the house. Mr. Dobson and his two
sons opened the door, and witness having told them what
his suspicions were went down stairs and found the
kitchen door bolted. Having unbolted the door and
looked round the kitchen he saw a bundle tied ir in an
apron near the window, and upon. close examination he
found the prisoner in the chimney supporting himself by
the smoke-jack. As the fellow refused to descend when
desired witness pulled him down by the legs. There
were found in the prisoner's pockets, when he was taken
to the station-house, seven silver spoons, a pair of silver
sugar-tongs, with Mr. Dobson's initials upon them, and.
a silver pencil-case. In the bundle were some clothes
belonging to the two servant girls of Mr. Dobson.
Mr. Dobson stated that upon being alarmed by the
policeman, he called his sons, and went into the kitchen,
where he saw every thing as had been described by the
former witness. The iron bar which one of his sons had
put up on the previous night, at eleven o'clock, had been
removed. Witness identified the property found upon
the person of the prisoner, and the servant girls swore
to that which was tied up in the bundle as belonging to
them. There were knives and forks on the dresser, and
a copper boiler, which had been, on the night before, in
its proper place, was lying in the middle of the kitchen,
and no doubt was intended to be handed up to some ac-
complices about the neighbourhood.
The prisoner upon being asked whether he wished to
say any thing, replied, " No, not a word." He was com-
mitted for trial.

Sir John Cowan handed a sovereign to Mr. nobler to
be given to a waterman named Farson, who saved the
life of an elderly man who some days ago flung himself
from London Bridge into the river. Sir John said that
having gone into a hair-dresser's shop, he saw a gentle-
man who said that he had an idea of going to a public
dinner, but he would prefer giving
,the sovereign it
would cost him for the entertainment to the waterman,
who, when the unfortunate man flung himself into the
River, called out to the ladies in his boat, " Sit still, for
the love of God, and let me try to save his life," and
succeeded.

The Loan Mayon hoped-the example would be fol-
lowed. • It was evident, from the testimony given on the
oc;cason. that the waterman deserved to rewarded, for
he Acted with great skill and. coolness, as well as hu-
maßliy.
ALLEGED INSULT TO THE SENVit'.4l 1•‘ Levyson, a
gentleman of the Jewish persuasion, appeared before Sir
Qeerge Coro to complain that, in the papers of Mtn-
dab there optitfeci it ease in which the prisoner was
stated to be " CiOenititi jeW,5l His complaint was that

not believe that those who attesii foi -the press meant
to convey anything injurious to the Jeviq:
Glared that the practice which so generally prevatieft, df
mentioning persons accused of offences as ox the Jewiit
religion, while the religious persuasion of persons win.:
were offenders, and not Jews, were never noticed, gave
great pain.
Sir Y. LAURIE, who happened to be present, asked
Mr. Levyson whether he considered it a disgrace to be
a Jew: . _ _

_ .
Levyson replied, Certainly not. But it so hap-
pened, that whenever a Jew did anything good, it was
never noticed ; whereas, when a Jew did anything in
the other way, it was sure to be published. Such was
not the case with other people. When an Irishman was
accused of an offence, it was never said that he was an
Irish Catholic ; or when a Scotchman did any mischief,
lie was never described as a Scotch Presbyterian. Why,
then, should another person accused be reproachfully
called a German Jew ? Mr. Levyson then alluded to
the high respectability of the Jews, whose names rank
most deservedly amongst the first characters in the coun-
try, and claimed for them, as well as feu- the numerous
other irreproachable persons of that religion, that the
invidious and cruel distinction should not be repeated.
Sir P. LAURIE said that he was convinced there existed
no intention upon the part of any one present at the
examination of the person alluded to, to cast any reflec-
tion upon the Jews by the report ; and he did not sup-
pose the Jews considered the report of the case the
slightest imputation upon them.

-Sir G. CARROLL was convinced that the Alderman en-
tertained the highest respect for those whom Mr. Levy-
son represented, and he also felt confident them was
anything but a disposition in the press to run them down.

THE GLASGOW FORGERIES.--A communica-
tion from Paris was received yesterday afternoon, an-
nouncing that no answer had been received from the
telegraphic intimation to Marseilles, commanding the
apprehension of Gavin Scott, the perpetrator of the
Glasgow forgeries. The Parisian authorities, however,
did not entertain the slightest doubt of his capture, and
as a proof of it, the Prefect of Police advised that Mr.
Forrester, and the young gentleman who represents the
Glasgow house in which Scott had been employed,
should proceed at once to Marseilles and see the pri-
soner, for which city they accordingly started on the
afternoon of Thursday last, the 17th current. In the
event of Scott's being taken, it is probable that in the
first instance he will be tried and convicted for procuring
a passport and travelling under a false name, and that
during his imprisonment, arrangements may. be made
with the French Government for the delivering up of
his person and the money he has taken.—Glasgow Herald.
Sir J. Graham's whereabout is at length ascer-
tained. Kicked out from Cumberland—bowed out from
Pembroke—laughed at by Westminster—and rumped by
the dictator of Westmoreland, as one in whom no true
Tory could place confidence, the " recreant Whig" of
Netherliy is driven to the necessity of taking refuge in
the snug pocket borough of Dorchester, under the pa-
tronage of Lord Shaftesbury.—Evening Paper.
