SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS

FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.
GLOBE.—The dislike which the Tories, as a party,
cherish towards the Queen is a matter of notoriety.
They have taken no pains to conceal its existence, but
have manifested it in every possible way upon every oc-
ce-sion. They may, therefore, be said to glory in their
shanie. It is, however, no less the duty of those who
profess to be governed by another disposition, and con-
sider that affectionate and loyal respect is due from every
subject to the Sovereign, without reference to party pre-
dilections, to disabuse the decent part of the nation of
an opinon they might otherwise entertain, that the
changed position of the Tories might possibly have
wrought a change in their disposition and language
towards the Illustrious Lady who occupies the Throne.
Seeing they are now likely to attain the objects for
witieli they consented to become the mahgners of
',loyalty, it might certainly be expected that they would,
at least, moderate their dislike, and from policy, in the
absence of principle, conceal the mortification with
'which they burn, on finding that the Queen remains
unshaken in her attachment to the constitutional prin-
ciples to which she has manifested a preference from the
moment the sceptre of government was committed to
her hands. No such thing. They have an arrear of
chegrin to pay off; and they will do so with interest.
They are not satisfied with obtaining the Government un-
lese they can also induce the Sovereign to be the mere in-
strument of their will, and thus seal the triumph they have
oechieved, by fraud and force, at the hustings. It is not
enough far them that the Queen is prepared to act toward
the Ministers who may be forced upon her by the Parlia-
ment, with the most perfect integrity as a Constitutional
Sovereign; these rapacious cormorants of power demand
that the prerogatives of the Sovereign, and even her per-
seenal predilections, shall be merged in those of the ex-
pectant Tory Ministry immediately it is formed; or she
snuet be preipared, a:3 the alternative, to be aspersed and
Insulted. A fresh ebullition of this low-minded and des-
:picable malignity has reached us this morning.
'The Tories of Cheltenham appear to have, in the
CheLenham Looker-on, a journal which is neither re
strained by a sense of decorum nor influenced by appre-
heetsions of forfeiting the countenance and support of
:its fashionable patrons by any violations of courtesy or
even of decency when referring to the Queen. Hence
its considerable popularity with that party, who have in
it an organ after their own heart. The following ebul-
lition of indecency forms the commencement of its last
leading article. If, taken in connection wit the nume-
rous attacks of it similar character and tendency with
which many of their Journals have been filled, it do not
convince the most incredulous of the kind of treatment
which our beloved Queen will receive from the Tories,
-:.vhen delivered by the force of circumstances into their
sands, we know not what will effect their conviction :
" The denouement of the great political struggle being
now so close at hand, every day almost will present some
,feature of interest. It will be as well, THEN, just by the
way of preparation, to make a note of the present aspect
of .affairs—before the game really opens—m order the
better to understand its progress.
" First and foremost, then, the Queen does not open
Parliament in person, for the first time since her acces-
sion. Her Majesty does not intend to come to town at
oiL Her Majesty means to make the future Prime Mi-
nister run backwards and forwards to Windsor, every
ttime it may be necessary to obtain her gracious approba-
%ion to any of the measures of his Government. To
such an extent is this to be carried, that it is even a mat-
ter of doubt whether the Address of the House of Com-
mons will. not have to go down to Windsor, by a deputa-
ticsn, though it may be expected that the present holders
of office will influence have enough to prevent such an
affront being offered to the chosen of her people.' The
leading Conservative papers choose to put their own
colour upon this, and say that her Majesty won't come
because she won't speak the Speech written by Minis-
ters. Othens say her Majesty won't come because of her
interesting :situation. Why, every matron in Englind
must know this to be fudge; and as for the other, why in the
world should there be any affectation about it? The
Queen is annoyed and mortified at the result of the elec-
tions, and chooses to manifest her opinion, and intends to
show all the coldness and repugnance possible towards
the Administration which will come into power."
It would be indecent in a public Journal to indulge in
speculations such as these with reference to the conduct
of any lady in similar circumstances, so far as the con-
.duct of a subject would admit of comparison with that of
'elle Queen. But for such ribaldry to be published of
the Sovereign, is insufferable; and would provoke in-
dignation, did not its ignorance and vulgarity prevent the
feelings of the reader from rising higher than contempt.
STANDARD.—Conjecture is active in anticipation of
the topics of the Royal Speech to be delivered to-morrow,
and of the line which the Conservative majority shall
pursue with respect to it. As to the Speech, the com-
position must be a task of no small difficulty. The cir-
cumstances under which Parliament is called together at
this unusual season, and under circumstances so peculiar,
must be explained ; but no explanation can be offered
which shall not refer to the Budget of May, and to
the dissolution ; and any allusion to these topics, or,
indeed, a total neglect of them—which would be more
ensphatial than the most distinct reference—would
challenge from the Conservative majority an amendment
ereiterating the condemnation of the Budget propositions,
and reheating, with augmented force, the non-confidence
vote of the 4th of June. Such an amendment would be
triumphantly carried. How then can Ministers act? Will
they persevere in retaining office in defiance of a vote
of the House of Commons twice repeated, and now re-
infouced by a vote of the House of Lords ? Probably re-
ferring strongly to the vielatiOn of the Constitution al-
ready committed, this would be to afford broader and
firmer grounds for an impeachment than was ever offered
by a British Ministry. But can they resign? Lord John
-Mused London,
!, in his address to the electors of has
ntlered the Cabinet to retain office until it shall have
eatsinally and distinctly presented its Budget to the new
Parliament. This plainly means to retain office
Ilan each of the three propositions shall be pro-
posed and debated in succession—a month's work at the
eery lease- But then to retain office a month, or even
a day, afesr the adoption by the two Houses of such
an amendmient as we may expect to see to-mor-
row, would be rather too serious an experiment upon
the patience of the country. Still we do not see how
iMinisters are to get out of the difficulty. They
are iiithe condition of men who, having embarked
in a criminal course, must persevere in it to
the end, as any pause would be a confession of their
crime. If they ought to resign when defeated,
as they *ill be, on the Address, they ought to have
resigned on the sth of June, on the 19th of May, or,
still earlier, upon the defeat of Lord Morpeth's Irish
Registration Jiill ; and if they are bound to resign when
defeated upon the Address, Lord John Russell was
guilty of wilful and deliberate fraud, in promising for
them, that, as as Ministers, they would again bring for-
ward their Budget, because he must have been aware at
the time, indeed his letter confesses as much, that de-
feated on the Address they would be.
COURIER.—The Manchester Conference of reveren-
dissimi, if not illustrissimi, signori is no more. From
the smoke preceding its entry into functions some fire
might havebeen suspected in the background, but nothing
of the sort ; the smoke has evaporated into thin air, like
the empty mist of morning, and track of flame is
there none. Mr. Thompson, the original projector, ap-
propriately wound up his own scheme with a funeral dis-
course on the merits of the defect ; and Lord Lucie, a
Nobleman delighting in strange ways, and with man-
sion and grounds corresponding styled Strangeways,
close upon Manchester, assisted as one of the pall bearers
and chief mourners on th'e solemnly sad occasion. The
Rev. Thomas Spencer, of Hinton Charter-house, near
Bath, read the service for the dead or dying, a novel in-
terpolation, in which was the sober and serious announce-
enent, that "he was sorry to say there was a gin-drink-
ling public opinion that wanted to throw out Lord John
