" Who runs may read."

PUSLIC crxNxoN.
--- The Chronicle takes the Post to task for its incon-

/astency in observing that " most people have much more
Interest in the cheapness of money than in the cheapness
Of anything else," and yet at the same time crying up
the political merits of Sir R. Peel, who, as our Contem-
Porary observes, " did more by his Currency Bill, to-
Wards making money dear, than any Minister by any
one Act, either before or since." '1 he Chronicle then
proceeds to hint at some of the projected swindlings of
the Tories, and among others, their not improbable
sOleme. of cheating the freeholder and all annuitants.
As the faction has not, never had, and never will have,
a, shred of principle in its composition, it is not likely to
be diverted from any plausible project simply because it
12!ay. be dishonest. Political 'dishonesty is the rule of
Tory conduct—honesty is merely the exception.
The Herald has some laboured hits at the Chronicle
10r insisting on the independence and supremacy of the
Scotch farmers ; but adds, by way of salvo, that the
c Scotch counties deserve praise for having returned two
Conservative Members for one Whig throughout. Con-
descending praise like this, from so influential an autho-
titY as the Herald, must be highly gratifying to Scotland !
--- The Post adduces the authority Mr. Huskisson to
Prove that the Corn-laws, instead of being a curse, are a
comfort and a blessing to the community ; and adds that
it 18 a mere fraud to assert that the Whig policy on the
subject " are in the spirit of Mr. Huskisscn's policy."
Our Contemporary, we suppose, will next endeavour to
Show that Reform and Toryism mean one and the same
thing ; and that in advocating enlarged principles of free
trade, Mr. Huskisson only meant to advocate prohibi-
tion in all its strictness.
The Times is in raptures with the old institutions
of the country, observing that " they have produced a
. higher standard' of' morality and practical religion than
Can elsewhere be found." Strange, that, thus thinking,
!,nr Contemporary should have laboured so hard to pull
u°wo these "old institutions." Who more strenuous in
abolishing the boroughmongering system, which—as the
14?0ries were constantly observing—formed the very
tit',°undation-stone of all good Government, and deprived
(!'r whose support, the " old institutions" bf the country
1,41°1114- no longer exist ? We sincerely believe that there
" not a single." old institution" that has not at one time
or other, been the object of our Contemporary's bitterest
hostility .and ridicule. To day, the " old institutions of
the country" are all` that is precious and sacred in his
Yes—to-morrovr, perhaps, their- very antiquity may be
hateful and obnoXibus to him
The Adverti§er persists in attributing the results of
the elections to " the enormous folly" of Ministers in
tilrewing themselves into the arms of the Tories. The
Whigsl: have certainly been delinquents in this respect,
to the extent insisted on by our Contemporary.

L.-- The Cambridge Advertiser, alluding. to the rapacity
°I the Tories, compares Sir Robert Peel to Act:eon, ob-
serving that " he is in danger of being devoured by his
at
" dogs," and that as he " walks the streets, the sha-
dow of some disappo,inted Tory, worn and thin, will
darken his path, pleading unrepaid services, and breath-
-4 out threatenings of desertion."
The Brighton Guardian states, that the Whigs
should hold no terms whatever with Sir Robert Peel's
party, as it comes into office " expressly to uphold in-
justice, and to levy taxes on the bulk of the people for be-
hoof of a few."

The Dublin Pilot confidently expresses its oponion,
and argues forcibly on the hypothesis, that the Whigs
Mu very shortly be reinstated in office.

riots at Toulo Christina's protest,
d„ Bohn Russell'suse, addreQssueen to the electors of Lon-
' i --' are the principal subjects discussed in the French
1-,cnirPals of Monday. The deliberate vengeance of the
Government is displayed in the number of arrests which
are daily taking place in Toulouse. It appears to have
Provoked crime to show with what ruthlessness it could
Punish it.

The Constitutionnel warmly applauds Lord John

Itussell's political manifesto, and prelets that the Tories
gill find him a troublesome customer in the new Par-

went.
The Courrier Francais says that the Whig Minis-
trY in remaining in office till the meeting of Parliament
are making a sacrifice to the personal feelings of the
Queen, who objects to the delivery of a speech framed
Sir Robert Peel. The London correspondent of the
Vebats expresses a similar conviction.
The legitimist journal La France observes that
Queeni. Christina hai only herself to blame for her mis-
fortunes. In giving a constitution to Spain she dug the
13.4 into which she has fallen. The France is too hard upon
;-11ristina. She did not voluntarily give a constitution to
Pain. It was wrung from her. The legitimists have
° cause to quarrel with the ex-Regent for her love of
democracy. It was not love of liberty, but dread of Car-
-1
rBlll, that impelled Christina to sign a charter of rights,
Which the Cortes were prepared, and very justly, to as
Bert independently of her.
The King and Queen of the Belgians had apart-
:gents prepared for them at the Tuileries on Monday. It
18 well for Belgium that King Leopold's Royal pro-
gresses are made with less state than Monarchs usually
• 'Play, as otherwise the revenues of the kingdom would
ot defray his travelling expenses. Not but we hail with
luereased delight every renewal of his Majesty's presence
;111°11g us. In England, Leopold and his Consort are
4vourites with all classes.
The destination of Admiral Hugon's squadron is no
.longer a mystery. Three ships of the line are to remain
inebservation before Tunis, and the rest will watch the
progress of events in Syria and Egypt. We ought not to
France
with indifference the immense naval force which
canoe is establishing in the Mediterranean.
Intrigues for removing Espartero from the Regency
are on foot in high quarters in Paris. It is even hinted
that the King Is no stranger to them. Espartero will
sew_
have a difficult part to perform. The removal of
.11.11 c Whigs from office will deprive the Regent of one of
the main props of his power.
