Amongst the petitions last night presented in the

The' Concentration of Royal Gardens and the Frog-

The Poor-law Commission Bill, and the Expirhlg

short (khate on the former Mr. \V akley again stepped

The Morning Post contains an article, whose evident,
through not avowed, object, is to exalt the Tory system
of legislation by underrating that of the Whigs :—" It
was always the plan of the Whigs," says our' Contempo-
rary,." to flatter the people with hope that they could set
right whatever was wrong in the condition of the pople.
But they never succeeded. As soon as one project failed
they set up another, but it was only to produce fresh dis-
appointment. And thus it happened that the W digs, Who
began their projects with a revolution in their favour, and
an immense majority in the House of Commons, gradu-
ally lost that majority, and all public confidence. They
promised to the people remedies for their real or fancied
evils, but the people found no benefit from them."—
The people have certainly found no benefit from Whig
remedies, but it is because those remedies have not
been tried. That great experiment, in particular, of dis-
epeUmbering trade of the shackles that most heavily
oppress it, was never even allowed to be brought for-
ward. The Tories were apprehensive it would succeed,
so crushed it on the threshold. And what, pray, tire
the remedies these men propose, in lieu of those they
condemned ? The answer may be summed up in a

MORE TORY PRAISE OF Ma. WAKLEY.—" Some there
may be who, like Mr. Wakley, will surmount the despi-
cable trammels of partisanship, and dare to avow the
honest truth, even though it should be complimentary to
opponents. Indeed Mr. Wakley's manly and upright
acknowledgments, respresenting as he does a large. Lib-
eral constituency, who may be less prepared to do that
strict justice to Sir Robert Peel's Ministry which their
Hon. Member's conscientious convictions extort from
him, are deserving of all praise. Not that we imagine
Mr. Wakley to have deserts d his principles, or to have
become a Tory— no such thing—but that, freeing him-
self from mean party prejudices, he has nobly borne his
testimony to the fairness and integrity of those to whom
on many points he is still conscientiously opposed.
Anything of this sort from the Whigs anti Repealers is
of course hopeless ; but, sooner or later, Mr. WakLy's
honesty will be extensively imitated notwithstanding."—
Times. That praise was bestowed yesterday for Mr.
Waltley's exertions of previous nights. Last night the
Hon. Member regularly avowed himself Sir It. Peel's
champion. To day, of course, more praise will follow.
Did the electors of Finsbury send Mr. Wakley to Par-
liament to smooth the way for Sir R. Peel ? The Hon.
Member seems to suppose, because the notion has lost all
confidence in the Whigs, and has been obliged to give
them up, that we have no alternative but submission to
the Tories. The public will hardly adopt that opinion,
and are rather resolved, we apprehend, to submit to nei-
ther, but to make the Tories submit to them. Mr.
Wakley wishes us to submit to the Tories.

our own.
Mr. HUSKISSON, very unlike the Tories who
now quote his letter of 1814, to bolster up errors
which he had discarded, was a steady friend to
foreign trade, and expressly stated that our in-
dustrious millions, whom he cherished, would
perish if our foreign trade decayed. ' He was, in
1830, afraid that our foreign trade would decay,
and that England would be exposed to great
miseries if the Corn-laws were continued. What
he then foresaw has been, in a great measure,
realised, The high prices kept up have fallen
on the wages of labour and on the profit of the
employers, and have reduced both, according to
concurrent testimony from all the manufactur-
ing districts, to great distress. On a subsequent
occasion, namely, March 25, 1830, when Mr. P.
THOMSON, now Lord SYDENHAM, brought for-
ward a motion to equalise taxation, Mr. HUSKJS-
SON reiterated his opinions on the Corn-laws.
He said :

It was his unalterable conviction that we could
not uphold the Corn-laws now' in existence, toge-
ther with the present system of taxation, and at the same
time increase the national prosperity and preserve public
contentment. That those laws might be repealed without
affecting the landed interest, whilst at the same time the dis-
tr•ess op the people might be relieved, he never had any doubt
whatever. A general feeling prevailed that some change
must be effected, and that speedily; nor were there any
individuals more thoughly persuaded of it than those
who moved in the humbler walks of life.
Immediately subsequent to that period, how-
ever, political excitement and political hope
made people think less of their distress; then
followed till 1836 a succession of abundant
harvests ; they were combined with succes-
sive reductions of taxation, and the coining
into operation of numerous railroads, which
enabled the country to go without repeal-
ing the Corn-laws, and even without much com-
plaining of them, till 1838. Then ensued defi-
cient harvests; then further reductions of taxa-
tion became impracticable ; and then was
realised Mr. HUSKISSON'S prediction—though
taxation had, in the meantime, been reduced—
that we could not uphold the, Corn-laws toge-
ther with the present system of taxation. Thus
Mr. HUSKISSON, from being a strong advocate
of the Corn-laws, became a strenuous advocate
for the repeal of those laws, and, as we have
seen, actually denounced them, as not to be
maintained, and as the cause of the impoverish-
ment of the people. Such great and consecu-
tive changes in his opinions, the result of much
experience, combined with the changes mentioned
in the opinions of other statesmen, not willingly
adopted, but forced on them by circumstances,
'seem to us a clear indication of the course of
opinion. It is hostile to the continuance of Corn-
laws, and they can only be continued by un-
ceasing violence. If' by that they are to be
maintained, the rent-owne►•s may rest assured
that violence will beget violence, and from their
injustice a system of disorder and misrule will
overspread the land.

his attempts at conciliation, and adds :—" Sir R. Peel

the services they rendered they must be requited. It
will not do to tell them thatmeasures like theßill of Lord

bunting MiGhees and O'Sullivans) ; and lastly, as yet,
the Registration Bill of Lord Stanley is put in
abeyance.' How much more do the Irish Protestants
require before they find out' Sir Robert Peel ?"
The hour is fast approaching when the Irish Orange-
men.will discover that the Tory Premier is no more to
be trusted by them, than he was, when—in defiance of
all the repeated, solemn pledges he had made them to
the contrary—he turned round, and carried Catholic
Emancipation. He will deceive them, as he • did then ;
but he will not throw them overboard at once ; no, he
is far too cunning for that ; he will just keep up the
farce of acting with them, till he fancies himself
strong enough to do without them ; and then send them
adrift, to sink or swim, as may happen. We warn the
Orangemen to keep a wary eye on Sir Robert Peel. He
will sacrifice them, as he did poor Canning. We have
no great respect fur these red-hot Irish Tories ; but in
vigour and honesty we think them immeasurably supe-
rior to the trimming quacks who now hold power under
the sneaking alias of tjonstrvatives.
The Times is delighted with Lord Stanley's speech on
the occasion of his re-election for North Lancashire,
observing—" In all respects it is a fitting accompani-
ment to that of his fellow-secretary at Dorchester—nay,
without invidiously subjecting the ability of the two ac-
dresses to a comparison from which, indeed, neither tf
them need shrink, and while perfectly admitting the
equal merits of both in their distinctive scope, we feel
warranted in saying that, owing to a curious accidental
circumstance, Lord Stanley possesses a somewhat superior
interest, not very dissimilar to that which attached to Scott's
memorable disclosure when he avowed himself ' the au-
thor of Waverley !' As the great Northern writer hail
for many years been the object of endless surmises and
suspicions, which he had taken no pains either to encou-
rage or to allay, so it is well known that the noble heir
of the house of Derby, having been supposed to have
incurred the guilt of political apostacy, has for a con-
siderable period been assailed with every epithet of
party rancour, which, strong in the consciousness of
his own rectitude, he has treated with silent contempt."
—To say that Lcrd Stanley's speech was a "fitting ac-
companiment" to that of Sir James Graham's at Dor-
chester, is a very left-handed compliment, wearing the
aspect of irony ; for never was there a more vague, dri-
velling, spiteful tirade, than that perpetrated by the
heavy-headed Netherhy Baronet—the rejected of Cum-
berland, of Pembroke, of Westminster, and of divers
other towns, counties, and cities, which we have neither
space nor time to enumerate. Nevertheless, we agree
with the Times that the North Lancashire affair was
quite as good as the Dorchester affair ; and both were
just what might have been expected—spiteful twaddle !
The Hera/I thus expresses itself on the subject of the
new Poor-law :—" There was in the House last night a
most satisfactory and wholesome expression of opinion
as to the cruelties and severities of the English Poor-
law ; a hope was very generally expressed that Sir R.
Peel would make great alterations in the more strin-
gent provisions of that law, and in this hope great
majority of the public most warmly concur. It is
indeed quite impossible that the Poor-law can remain
in its present form; and it would be most unwise to
continue the superintendence of any law that may be
substituted fir it in the hands of the present Poor-law
Commissioners, or their secretary, who never can,or will
enjoy the confidence of the English people. The Poor-
law is a subject which cannot be shirked or got rid of by
palliative amendments ' less than thorough will not
do it.' It is the duty of the Conservative press to speak
out boldly on this subject ; any suppression of opinion is
treachery to the great national party Of which it is the
organ,"
The Advertiser thidteB the followinvemarks on Sir n.
rcor6 quilled silence :—" We want Mir Robert Peel to
beware. If he persists in his present silence he may die'
cover with rearet, *hen regret will be idle,. that the
commercial wealth of this country, though great, cannot
continue under the existing, system ; that its enterprise,
though unbounded, must jsivke wAy when its merchants
are excluded, by an illiberal British code, from foreign
markets ; and that the patience of ti suffering' lx 0•
plc must ultimately he way under the Ora-
tions which they have so long heroically oi-
-1 dm•ed. Let him speak rni4 theeefeee, Wheti si!ertees
is useless, and- before disclosure be unavailing.'—
Vu by should :sir 11, Peel speak putt, when a majority of
ninety -one are in favour of his olding }ii; t(iiiiitte ?
Why should he speak out, when the aristocracy, to a
man, are ready to swear that nothing can be so prudent,
statesmanlike, or beneficial to the country, as his pre-
sent silence? Above all, why should he speak out, when
he has nothing to speak about? Such, no doubt, is the
way in which his party argues; but not so will the
country argue; but infer, rationally enough, from his
reserve, that he hits neither inclination nor capacity to
devise such remedial measures as nosy suit the interests
of the people. •
The Dublin Evening Past remarks, in reference to Sir
R. Peers Irish policy :—" Sir Robert Peel, with his ha-
bitual dexterity, availed himself of the complimentary
remarks of Lord John Russell respecting the principat
Irish appointments, to make a very premature boast that
he had already got over the great difficulty of
governing
Ireland. The first factiouS proceedine--- the first indica-
tion, upon the part of the Irish Government, towards the
old insulting and tyrannical Tory system, will prove to
Sir Robert Peel that he has reckoned without his host."
The following is from the Chtritedhohl Examiner :
" The design of the Tories to postpone all discussion on
She important measure now agitating the country, ha;
created the most serious apprehensions in the manufac-
turing districts ; and justly so—for with the present
