The accuracy of this statement cannot be questioned,
and it is decisive of the vast ascendancy of !‘ the Con-
servative democracy." The strength of the Conservative
majority is, however, no longer denied ; bui the curious
discovery has been made that this strength must prove
fatal to its possessors. The very same journals which,
hardly more then a week ago, exulted in the assurance
that Sir Robert Peel could not conduct his Government
with a small or even a moderate majority, now, with
the utmost gravity, affirm that the great majority which
he has obtained cannot fail to prove his ruin. Strike
high, strike low, it is impossible to please these adversa-
ries of the Conservative statesman. •

ingredients with which the slow heating cauldron
was so profusely seasoned both beforehand and during
their progress by the present Government—despite the
unwarrantable way in which an illustrious name was pro-

The The sole exceptions to the comparative deCency Qf the
demeanour which has generally prevailed` during the
pre-
sent contests in England and Wales, will be found
only in those boroughs or, districts where the' na-
tive populations are flooded with -a turbid over-
flow of Irish labourers, and mendicancy, such as
Liverpool, Manchester, Salford,. Stockport, Bolton,
Wigan, &c. In these places only has
,the public peace
been outrageously invaded, -unwilling votes canvassed,
shillelagh in hand, and adverse votes unsparingly retali-
ated with broken heads. From the unvarying regularity
with which club-law was resorted to during the elec-
tioneering process in the places cited, and the fact that
the brutal actors were as invariably and exclusively of
the lowest Irish rabble,
_ a set of beings wearing the
human form but brutish as their own swine, it mar be
reasonably inferred that so much system must have
had a head and leaders, for mobs simultaneously in ac-
tion on different and distant points cannot be the result
of concert among themselves, but of a certain organiza-
tion of conspiracy which must have a chief somewhere.

MONEY MARKET and aril( NEWS.
FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.
CHRONICLE.—One of the points to be considered by the
Committee of Spanish bondholders, at the meeting to be held
on Monday next, is " the right of the holders of the Passive
lion's, under the law of the •20th of February, 1836, to claim
the conversion of their stocks into Active Bonds, on the tame
terms as these granted to the Interior Passive Debt, by one-
sixth part of their bonds annually from 1836."
I A morning contemporary brine l subject before the public,
turning it, as usual, into abuse of persons and everything coo-
-1 netted with Spain.

was very properly suspended as soon as the payment of the di-
vidends on the Active Debt was stopped in November, 1836,
I and that no conversion whatever took place in consequence.
We h,lieve liketlise that the Government has CO intention
whatever of carrying on such conversion at present, which
would only tend to complicate the difficulties of Spain to meet
the dividends due and accruing on her Active Debt.
