LONDON:
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1841.

The Metropolitan Anti-Corn-law Associatic a I
is Co follow the example of Manchester. 1 t 1
meets this day to consider " the propriety of al,
Address to the QUEEN, praying her not to prci -
rogue the Parliament, un:il it has taken inU )
its consideration the Corn and Provision-lac rt
with a view to their total and immediate repeal •"
Other Associations and other towns will take t b e
same course. The movement must be extensi
to be beneficial. The communities which al
now sufferin great distress, and the individuaAa
who have an earnest conviction that great evil
will most likely be the consequence of pro-
roguing the Parliament, without taking measures
to relieve that distress thereby evincing I
contempt of the best duties of Parliament as • a
political body, and of all humane feeling as
Christian assembly—will, we hope, immediate
bestir themselves, and call meetings to address
the QUEEN, in the same manner as Manchesl
er
and the Metropolitan A n ti-C or n-law As. x
Cla 6011.

The Timss yesterday stated that one result of
the great superiority of the Tories in Parliamtl
i 4, that it " insures them freedom of action, a m d
vastly augments their responsibility." They hf e
nothing at present to control theta but their o n
diF,cretion, and that sense of moral accounta
which Sir ROBERT PEEL asserts is sultici, .tat
to s:ecure, in Peers and Monarchs, the most r
right conduct. Since the somewhat iboli s h
,public has offered its back to a Tory rider, a n d
suffered him to put a 1.4 in its mouth, that pub,: c
may perhaps feel some e.L2Gire to learn in wl.s t
manner its new and absolute master is to ride an I

goad it.
• The only one of the Cabinet Ministers WI o
has as yet. spoken, is Sir JAmEs GRAHAM, 20 I
his speech. at Dorchester will give us a toleral A s
clear idea of that sense et' moral duty in • ;b e
Ministers, which, till the public comes to a v‘ !ry
different resolution from that which has mad, it
fall down before the Tories, will be their oi
restraint. At his re-election for Dorchester, cm
Monday, where he found no opponent, S. it
JAMES GRAHAM showed his sense of moral din :y
by asserting that " he bogies and believes S it
ROBERT PEEL Will be able to carry throng!
constitutionally, and t ffectiveiy, with the conse it
of the three branches of the Legislature, la /ie
and subsivatial measures of Reform peaceal dy,
and not by agitation:, But while he seeks to
excite in others hopes which he can scarcely 7cel
biluseif---for he knows that large and substan Gal
measures of Reform will not be attempted--
ea,utioa ,S declares that he ".:rill abstain fro
pledging himself or the Administration fro in
any particular
measure." Ms sense of mor alduty consists first, then, in a wish to cheat tl ie
public, by making
large and vague promise
never he kept. The Tori es
'
which he knows
give large and substantial measures of Refolm
Might he not as well believe and promise that
-
misers will be generous, priests humble, rand
politicians truth tellers? •
Sir JAMES GRAHAM 13 extremely wrath with
Mr. BYNG, for having truly said at the Middle-
sex dinner that " we had hitherto been living
under the Government of the QUEEN/ the Hot .se
of Lords, and the Common:. tie regretted tt .at
we now lived under the thraldom of an Arsix-
eracy." The Rigi:t Hon. Baronet set about
fitting this assertion, and undee a deep sense of.

It to an aTistoeraey that Sir ilonErtT PEEL
peals?" and the :neetiiig at Dorehcster havia
similar idea of moral ieSp :13ibi iity to the P. Ot
Hou. Baronet, responded by a " hear."

717ltile I r.thlress you (he continued), the seats for :six
English counties have becn vacated by the acceptance of
office by their Members—iVestmorelanti, an agricultural
county ; Monmouthshire, so rich in mineral production's
and manufacturing exceilence.—(Hear.) But this is
not all, Kent and Nottingham, and'also, by, all accident,
the death of a Noble Peer, the. North jading of York.
Thus, within Si= weeks of the dissolution of Parliament
six English counties have
an opportunity of pronouncing.
an opinion on the choice of 21inisters by the Crown_
. Surely aristocraticinfluence cannot coerce the opinions,
of thousands of the English electors who are now called
on for their decision. Three Scotch counties, Dute,.Sel-.
kirk, anti Aberdeen ; and three Irish, Sligo, Tyrone,
and Cavan, are also in the hands of the electors. Su
much fur the counties ; but several towns have also been
called upon to choose—the comity towns of Cornwall
