SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS.

There seems now little doubt that Sir John Camp-
bell, the Attorney-General, will bereturned for Edin-
burgh on the elevation of the Lord Advocate to the
bench. With this we are highly gratified ; but it
ought to be known that the lion. and learned gen-
tleman, however entitled to the distinction which
awaits him, will owe his success to the self-
denial or delicacy of another eminent individual,
who had a prior invitation to accept of the libe-
ral suffrages of the Scottish capital, and who would
probably have been welcomed with more enthusiasm.
All who can appreciate the public talents and par-
liamentary services of Sir J. C. Hobbouse must be
pleased to hear that he was the first choice of the
citizens of Edinburgh, and that it was only on
his declining to be a candidate, for reasons which
have not yet been explained, that they thought of an-
other. At a great meeting which took place on
Monday, attended by 500 electors, only 30 hands were
held up for Mr. Aytoun, the Ultra-Radical candidate,
and still fewer for Sir John Campbell. The personal
presence of Sir J. Campbell, the zeal of the partywho
at the last election returned the present members, and,
above all, the positive retirement of Sir J. Hobhouse
from the contest, will, we are assured, place the At-
torney-General in Parliament for the capital of his
native country. He has our most cordial wishes for
his success ; but as some persons affect to depreciate
the claims of Sir J. C. Hobhouse, or rather to doubt
the unanimous zeal with which he was invited to Edin-
burgh, we make no scruple to publish the following
resolutions, which we find in a Scotch paper :
" At a numerous meeting of the aggregate committees
which formerly promoted the election of the Lord Advo
cate and Mr. Abercromby, held this day (12th of May) at
Edinburgh, within the Merchants'-hall, Hunter-square,
Andrew -Millar, Esq., in the chair, the following resolu-
tions, moved by Bailie Thomson, and seconded by Sir
James Gibson Craig, Bart., were adopted nearly unani-
mously :
. .

" Ist. That in the prospect of a vacancy occurring in
the representation of th►s city by the promotion of our dis-
tinguished representative, the Lord Advocate, it is of
vital importance to the continued success of liberal princi-
ples, that a candidate should be put in nomination whose
great talents and accomplishments, long experience, and
thorough acquaintance with Parliamentary business, and
tried liberality and honesty, afford the best means of
uniting the adherents of liberal opinions, and securing
them that ascendancy which they ought always to have
among the free constituency of the Scottish metropolis.
" '2. That Sir John Cam Hobhouse possesses in an
eminent degree all those qualifications, and is, in our opi-
nion, well worthy to succeed the Lord Advocate in the re-
presentation of Edinburgh.
" 3. That the chairman be intrusted to convey these
resolutions to Sir John Cam Hobhouse, and to request that
he would allow himself to be put in nomination, and would
come among us as soon as possible, in order to communicate
with the electors.

" ' ANDREW MILLAR, Chairman of
Committees.
" ' JOHN B. GRACIE, and
Times. " P. CROOKS, JointSeeretaries."

Europe is always talking about Turkish bar-
barism and Russian civilization, as if either existed.
The condition of man in Turkey is, to begin with, far
better in every respect than in Russia, and what is a
Russian slave compared with a Turkish freeman ? The
latter, however lowly his condition, may by possibility
become a Pacha, and this consideration alone gives
him a dignity of which the other can have no idea.
Russian partisans have been filling Europe with the
false notion that Turkey was about to die a natural
death, while Russia herself was preparing to strangle
her ; but her designs have been discovered, and, thank
God, quite in time to prevent their execution, which
may or may not take place, as England wills. I will
not do our Ministers the injustice to suppose they will
hesitate as to the step to be taken. Whilst every one
has been putting down Turkey as nothing, as great a
mistake has been made on the other side of the ques-
tion by a very great over-estimate of Russian power.
I wish those who require correction on this head could
see a Russian army in active service, as I have done,
they would soon change their opinion about Russian
power, and alter the word to weahness.—Aforning
Paper.

Sir R. PEEL said that if the noble lord (the Chancellor
of the Exchequer) cotc!d give him an answer to the
question he was about to pct be should feel obliged to
, him, and he thought it would aistt tend great)! to the con-
, venience of the house. The noble lord, be ucderstood, did
not intend to make any progress with the English Tithe
Commutation bill, while the Porr Laws kmendment bill
position, so that the attention of the house might be
Tas before the house. He thought that that wa: a wise pro-
directed
to the measure. Also, no doubt, the noble lard mig:2t find
:t difficult to devote his attention to both subjects at ot.:ce•
But the question he wished to put was, whether the noble
lord had a confident expectatfon that he would be able
to get through somo measure during the present
s,3sion, connected with the commutation of tithes ?
i /Lord ALTHORI', in answer to the right hon. baronet,

tion that he would be able, as far as he himself was con-
cerned, io get the decision of the house upon the question.

Sir E. KNATCHBULL, in ,:sing to move the second
reading of the Beer Act Amendment Bill, said that the
.
information he was continually receiving f:om all quarters,
convinced him of the necessity of some zlt, ration of
the laws as they at present existed retsPve to
the sale of beer. ( Hear, hear.) The bill he had
introduced had for its object not to infringe en the
enjoyments of the public, but to increase them. (Heir. )
His greatest wish was, that the people should enjoy tO
the full extent every comfort that was allowed them
under the act of parliament; he wished that they should
have every indulgence, but the object of the bill was

He would observe that, in this bill, he took no notice of
the hours which pUblic-houses should remain open. He
would not trouble the house further, but would simply
move the second reading of the bill.

bill, inasmuch as it required no less than six securt. es,

distillers, and other persons of that description, which be
conceived to be a very great hardship. The hon. member
concluded by moving that the bill be read a second time
that day six months.
Mr. WARBURTON seconded the amendment. He
complained of the manner in which the evidence had been
taken upon which the bill was founded. Circulars had
been sent round to the magistrates and parish officers, and
-ut of 56 witnesses no less than 13 were magistrates, 1
mayor, 3 magistrates' clerks, 3 police officers, &c.
The consumers of beer, the labouring classes, were not
in any way consulted. The magistrates in their examination .
complained of the badness of the beer sold in these houses,
and recommended home-breived beer, although they ad-
mitted that the home brewer could not compete with the
public brewer. In fact, all the arguments used were tn-
consistent, and cut the throats of coal other.

The LORD CHANCELLOR. interrupted him, by
stating it was understood the examination of witnesses
should gd or until about six o'clock, or a l!ttle after,
and as the petition of the noble marquis might
create some conversation he would suggest whether it
would not be unnecessary to keep counsel and witnesses
waiting, and to adjourn the further proceedings unti!
Thursday next. About 35 witnesses had already been
examined, and there might be still 100 or more to be
examined; a bill was also coming up from the
House of Commons, which which might pass and receive
the royal assent, and would probably expedite th,
proceedings. He wished that such a course should bt
adopted as would afford the parties interested the fullest
opportunity of putting forward all the facts of their
case by strictly legal evidence. There was, how-
ever, this difficulty, that it was probable th,
proceedings would be almost endless unless their lordship,
were put in possession, in distinct terms, of the point:
which the learned counsel wished to prove. (Hear
hear.) It was not unusual, or unprecedented, te
leave an opening for petitioners to a bill or agains4
it (Hear), and he thought it would be better
to have the case distinctly stated first by counsel, as WEE
„':.ne in the case of the late Queen. This nas the result

were not contrary to the rules of the house, en 1, then f ,re,
he suggested whether it would not be better to roquire
Mr. Harrison, on Thursday, to begin opening with what
he intended to prove.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said he had made a mis-
take on the matter, he had thought that his noble friend
(Radnor) had undertaken the conduct of the bill; but
now he remembered that it was another
noble friend of his. However, as it seemed to
meet the wishes of the noble lords upon both sides of the
house, he would, without another word, move that it be an
instruction-to the counsel for the bill that, upon the next
day of meeting, the should shortly open the case
they propose to prove before the house, but that to be
without prejudice to the rules of the house, and to give no
right to a summing up.
The Duke of WELLINGTON suggested that the mo-
tion had better be postponed till the close of the evening,
when some communication might be had with the noble
earl (Durham).
The LORD CHANCELLOR said that would be the
better course, and he would write a note to his noble friend.
The Marquis of DOWNSHIRE presented a petition
from the clergy of Armagh, and other places, complaining
that they were unable tp pay the interest upon the
money they had borrowed for the purpose of building
glebe honses under the Irish Church Bill, and praying
that the present incumbents should be allowed to
get free by a payment of only one quarter of it, in conse-
quence of their distressed state.
