LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 2. 1 SU.

It seems the peculiar fate of some men to accelerate

the advent of certain changes by the very means they

employ most strenuously to retard it. The great Duke,

in one memorable instance, has proved himself to belong
to this class of unfortunates but for his notable denun-
ciation of Reform, the Reform Bill would not at this

day have been the law of our land. It is by no means
improbable, nay, it is very likely, w?. will not say inevit-
able, that his Grace's present course (taken with that
promptitude and decision for which he is remarkab!e,
and which in a wise man is so excellent a quality, in a
rash one so dangerous,) may bring about a parallel re-
sult, to the Tories equally disastrous. In their terrified

haste to arrest the career of liberalism, he and his patriot
party—if we maybe so bold as to adventure a surmise—
have allowed their vehemence to outstrip their sagacity;
and it were not at all surprising if some dull December
morning, they were to stumble over this astounding
discovery. Like the man in the story-book, who
knocked down the totterer whom he too violently
rushed forward to save from tumbling, so, with the
best intentions, no doubt—(for they are all conscien-
tious men ; Lord ELLENBOROUGII received some
seven or eight thousand pounds a year out of the
public purse for being conscientious)—so, likewise, they
may find that their zealotism has been something too
measurelessly energetic. In one of JOHN BUNYAN'S
allegories we are told, of a poor blockhead who
with the clearest intentions, but a little too vehement,
sought by a vigorous use of the house-brush to re-
move from his chamber the dirt and dusty garniture
which polluted it; but that, being unblest with the fore-
cast of prudence, and so forgetting to sprinkle the
floor with a little water, he raised such a cloud about
his head as not only made the dirt more intolerable
than before, but also well-nigh blinded and suffocated
him into the bargain.
Now, without this sprinkling, may not a similar
mischance befal the Duke and his—parasites, did
BROUGHAM call them ?

Appearances would seem to justify the rumour that
has gained ground during the last few days, intimating
that a new election is on the point of taking place.
We find the agents and understrappers of the Tory
Government busily occupied in those preparations, which
havealways been considered symptomatic of a dissolution.
This is perhaps the surest sign that can be given of the
feeling that predominates at headquarters. Another rea-
son that weighs strongly with us, and leads us to believe
that a dissolution is at hand, is that the John Bull and
other hirelings, have been instructed to say that no such
step is in contemplation, and that it would be
the best policy to postpone an appeal to the coun-
try until the new Ministers have tried the temper
of the old Parliament. This is, in all proba-
bility, one of those fraudulent practices to which the
enemies of the people never scruple to resort when
they wish to throw them off • their guard, in order to
gain an advantage over them. Let the Reformers
then be on the watch. Let not the warder quit the
battlements for a single instant. The enemy is vigi-
lant as well as bold. He is as expert at a midnight
surprise as at a noonday assault ; and will not, we may
rest assured, let slip the first favourable moment that
may arrive, for giving the long meditated death-blow to
English liberty by the only hands by which it can be
inflicted,—the hands of the electors of England.

We have been much gratified by the perusal of Mr.
E. L. 13uLwErt's pamphlet, lately published in the
shape ud a Letter to a late Cabinet Minister. The
author avails himself, with his usual felicity, of the
stores of a highly-gifted and richly-furnished mind, to
expose tire petty artifice, the hollow pretensions, and
the selfish views of the Tories, and to guard his coun-
trymen aga inst their malignant and treacherous designs.
Wit, irony, sound reasoning, and eloquent declaim-
