PUBLIC OPINION.

The Times has an article on the present aspect of
affairs in Europe, as also in America, herein our con-
temporary remarks that " dark and evil portents seem
to be gathering at present in various gum ters of the poli-
tical horizon," adding—". Under • existing circumstances,
the consolidation and 'perpetuity of the ereseat order of
things in France are, in our judgment, isseatial to the
continued peace of Europe. Not that we are great ad-
mirers of the French monalchy as it tutu illy stands ;
on the contrary, there are n ane things in its structure
which show too clearly that its power of e °siting bene-
ficially. for the. tranquility of France and sisurrounding
nations d Tends almost entire'y upon the mere character,
talents, and popularity of the Sovereign for the time
being. In. this latter respect, it presents a striking con-
trast with the British Constitution. The prosperity, and
internal repose, of this country, much lsss its foreign
relations, are scarcely at all affected by the personal
qualifications of • the hereditary possessor of the Crown.
The political welfare of England depends upon no such
accident. Apart entirely from the personal merits or de-:
merits of the reigning monarch, the three estates of the
British Legislature have, in course of time, consolidated
a system, which renders it, in great part, a matter of
comparative indifference whether the Sovereign be the
chief of statesmen or the impersonation of mediocrity.
In modern France, it is precisely the reverse. • Every-
thing in that noble kingdom, as' at present constituted,
depends upon the prudence, ability, and influence of the '
,Prince who 'happens to sway her sceptre. By a felici
tour choice she has found in the Monarch of the Bar-
ricades one of the ablest men in Europe. But his Majesty
Louis Philippe is advancing in years.. Of his hereditary
successor we would augur everything that is favourable,
yet, without saying anything to the disparagement of his
Majesty's eldest son, we may assert-with confidence that
the French people will search long ere they find an equal
to his Royal father. Delicacrprohibits us from pursuir.g
this subject further. Enough has been indicated to an-
swer our main purpose in broaching ite--namely, the ex-
treme likelihood that at no distant day circumstances
may arise requiring every Monarchy in Europe to buckle
on its armour for the purpose of reserving
:its own insti-
tutions from an injurious repetiticn of capricious and re-
volutionary influences."
The Morning Post says :—" All the inventions of
which our free trade' agitators are so proud have
hitherto failed of a good national effect because they
' have been exercised in a merely mercenary spirit. As •
to moral virtue and generosity of sentiment, they are
things not dreamt of in the philosophy of those who rave
about machinery and unrestricted commerce, as capable
of doing everything for England which England can
require. They cannot but see that though. such in-
ventions have made great progress, and though im-
mense wealth has been produced and squandered in
our manufacturing districts, yet the mass of the people
have not been happier. Honour, fidelity, patience, •
and self-control have not grown and increased. Peace
and good-will, domestic affection,- and calm - manly
spirit have not made progress with mechanical inven-
tion, and improvements in the manufacture of calico."—
These are fine-sounding words enough, but penned in
the true, unadulterated spirit of.ultra-Toryism, which is
constantly vaunting the wisdom of our ancestors, and
sneering at all modern innovations and improvements as
at .variance with that enlarged and . unerring wisdom.
If peace and good-will have not "made- progress with
mechanical invention," have they made progress with
the principles of Toryism ? Far otherwise ; Toryism,
though avowedly based on the wisdom of our ancestors,
has been coespeited to abandon, in .reluctant deference
to the changed spirit of the times, some of the most che-
rished articles of its creed ; and yet this same Toryism,
though unable to increase the spread of " peace and
good- will," except by relaxing the despotic rigour of
its system, now repudiates. through its organ, the -Post,
all changes and improvements, as injurious rather than
otherwise
The following is from tite Herald:—" The Govern-
ment of Ireland on Lord Eliot's principle of ruling not
for a party, or through a party, bat for the general wel-
floe of the Irish people,' must, if ciirridd out firmly, ex-
tinguish the glimmering light of the Mendicant. • Al-
ready is the genial influence of honest and firm Govern-
ment to be seen in Ireland. Mr. O'Connell regulates the
supply of sedition, abuse, and blackguardismeaccording
to the demand for excitement, and the accession of con-
servatism-. to-power has almost closed his lips. He can
scarcely' fillet the' materials whereon to base telie or a false
insinuation against the new. occupants of Dublin Castle ;
in his despair he has resorted to a stale trick—,that . of
abusing :MA' --former friends,7—lt is impossible that the
genial influence of 'honest and firm Government can be
seen in Ireland, before that Government has had time to
'derel;pe its system. Lord Eliot has scarcely been a
fortnight in Dublin; Earl de Grey is nut yet fully este-
blished there ; and yet we are assured that the eystem of
policy which they have not had time enough oven to con-
ceive, much less' to carry into force, is already working
wonders in Ireland !
The Chronic-to observes, in reference to the Address of
the unemployed printers in the metropolis :—"The prin
ter:, are quite right in tracing'their distress to the un-
settled state of public affairs.' Stormy weather is no
season for them. Corn-law pamphlets, pro and con, are
but a poor substitute for the benefit they would derive
from the naturally rapid extension of a taste for read-
ing amongst-the millions in quiet times. Their boat is
amped amongst the billows of political agitation.
Did the brettd-taxers du them no other injury than this
it would be a mortal one. The compositor pays in
his bread ; his wages are worth so much the less
for the landlord's monopoly ; but it is not them
alone that he pays, nor perhaps most heavily. To a
certain extent, in times of strife, his occupation is
gone.' The progress of a desire for what he produces
is violently checked in the community. His customers
are diminished, when otherwise they would be on the
increase. The same landlord-power, while -it taxes his
bread, turns him Out of work ; and the very party whose
pernicious policy brings him to the door of the work-
house, aggravatee his sufferings by the description of its
horrori: These disastrous influences upon the printers,
and the yet ',novo extended evils to society which they
imply, must continue while the predominant policy of
the day remains unchanged."
In reference to an article that appeared lately in the
Quartet ly Review, the Leaminvton Spa Chronicle ob-
serves :—" Farniiies are living in Paisley—if the term be
not a misnonu r fur such a miserabie state of exhaustion
—whose subsistence for months past has been potatoes,
'seasoned with herring brine, which has been contributed
leYthe hand of charity ! And yet our Quarterly Re-
viewer cherieltee the hope that • Sir Robert Peel will be
enabled to ndoen the metropolis by magnificent. works
of art, such as may vie with those undertaken by Louis
XlV.sin Prance, i'r by Aueustus at Ronie. In the name
etse, limn= nature let us hear no- more Of such unseasun-
able rant."
