SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
(From the Morning Chronicle.)
The total disregard of consistency by the organs of
Toryism never fails of being strikingly exhibited when
two incompatible feelings are excited in different poptione
of the public, and each is capable of being played. upon
for a party purpose. This is the case at the present
moment, in connection with the late happy escape of her

oraservation of her Majesty's life. But for the Rollcs and
Plumptree, it is affirmed that the attempt at mureer would
not have been treated with due solemnity. On the other •
hand, we are invited to consider the whole affair as a joke, and
after putting forth previously a feeler on " the pon,b(?)'
plot," the Morning Post of yesterday pays court to certainof its patrons by a whole column of cold, elaborate, and
malignant pleasantries on -; the late pistol practice in the
park of Master Feleezrd Oxford." Never has thanksgil..•

their Church. A national expression of thanks to Provins

thankfulness to overflowing. Is it for a few Pharisees to,
stand up at such a time and say, " We did it ; we sug-,
nested that the people should praise God ; we decided tolt
Government for a national expression of its strongest mew-
tien ?" The prctensicn is preporterour.
(From the Morning Herald.)
If there was, indeed, any " plot " in the ease of Oxford,.
we may safely aver that Mr. O'Connell and Lord Nor'.
manby were quite as cognisant of it as any " Hanoverian
or " Orangeman," either in or out of the Queen do,

case it will have been another "gunpowder plot," that's
all : a Protestant " gunpowder plot" will certainly be
novelty. It is stated in various accounts that the prisoner.
has been interrogated by magistrates and others 'as tip
whether he put bullets in the pistols, for as to th,ievldetet*
of ‘' the marks in the wall" every hodk --now --
admits that it is no evidence at all. Mlt first
brought under the netiee of the public a fact, which
until then had escaped all observation, and it was, that
there are several other similar marks in the wall, as freekti
made as the two marks originally relied upon, anti

possession which was found under the. wall, we !nay, • without any strained inference, consider it as having been

the soldiers in the first instance, and by the police after.
wards, and which ended in their being unable to find any-
thing of the sort. For our own part we do not say that
there was or there was not any deadly charge in the
pistols. We only state that as yet no legal proof of any
has been adduced.

Sir Rnbert Inglis complains, we think, with justice, of
the Indifference displayed by Members of the House of
Commons respecting the proposed measure for the sale
and appropriation of Church property in Canada. The
principle involved in this measure is quite as important as
that of Lord Stanley's Registration Bill, although the

practical effects would not be so immediately obvious in;
this country-
which principallythence of the Protestant Established Church is of &LC'
augury for the Conservative party and for the constitu- •
tional monarehy of the country. Whatever may be the
nominal character of the Administration—whatever changers
may take mace, appearing to establish a triumph over the r
tactical or revolutionary party, there will be littleal
bSpo of ultimate safety it Church principles and the inte—
rests of the Church be neglected. The Church, with icor
many-rooted establishment, is the grand source and sheher
of Conservative principles and feelings in this nation. Our
party seems to forget this, or not to bear the fact in naind
sa earnestly and so constantly as its importance warrints. •
