SPIRIT OF THE SUNDAY JOURNALS.

The Ministry have nobly redeemed their pledge to the
public on the subject of Reform. Earl Grey said that he
considered the Reform Bill a, only a means to an end, and
he h,s kept his word. 0.,, the poor Bishops ! How
prophetic was the article which we published on the year
1833 !—that Radical destructive article, as the Tories
calved it, in which we spoke of the dismay of the Church,
and described the consternation of the Bishops flying he-
fore- Reform. Ten Bishops extinguished out of twenty.
twoe,--two fat B shoprics cut down one-third—the highly
beneficed decry made to pay a tax upon their revenues,
and a total reformation effected in the Irish Church !
This for Irel end—England will come next. Old Canter.
bury already sees his revenue reduced, and dreads the re-
turn of those simple times when the ministers of God were
content with the honour of preaching his holy word—
when the head and founder of our religion rode meekly
and humblybefore men upon an ass, and address d assem-
bled multitudes from a mount. Well does be know that
the reign of priestly pomp approaches to its end, and hard
has he struggled ro avert his fall. But the day of refor-
mation is at hand. The Millenium of Reformers is near,
and the aristocracy of the priesthood will soon cease to
exercise an influence over the temporal affairs of their
flocks. But if we rejoice that Church Reformation has
begun, it is not because we desire injury to the Church.
We loathe and detest the worldly pomp of some of the
superior clergy ; we abhor the grinding and grasping
contact of many of the beads of the Church ; we condemn
the abuses of the Establishment, and ardently desire to see
them lopped off; but we admire and profess the creed of
the Established Church, and desire its welfare. We are
not among those who would reform in order the more
effectually to destroy. Fools and rogues may wish for the
overthrow of the Church—the first, because they are in-
capable of appreciating its value to the community at
large; the second, because they know that the anarchy
which they desire can only be the result of the destruction
of the Church. This class, however, is not large, apd
even among the fools there are many who are not quite
so witless as not to know that if the Church should fall,
there would be little protection even for themselves. So-
ciety is held together by links, one of which is Church do-
minion—take that away, and society as it is now esta-
blished will fall to the ground.—Merle's Wein y Register.

We understand that the most strenutrui measures
are concocting, principally by the Irish ➢]embers, to
give all the opposition in their power to Lord Glair's
coercive Bill relative to Ireland. However it may be hur-
ried through the House of Lords, where not a single Peer
has raised his voice against it, Mr. O'CoNNELL is deter-
mined it shall not pass the Cammons without undergoing
the most rigid investigation as to the truth of the facts it
purports to disclose; and in this, we learn, he is to be
supported by Mr. Hirst's and his friends. The Irish com-
plain, and with some reason, that this Bill is to be passed
on ex parte evidence only : they are net called on for their
defence, nor are they alowed to impugn or confute any of
the allegations contained in Lord GlEy's bitter charge
against them. His Lordship seems to assume all he utters
as facts, neither to be questioned or commented on. In
all former cases of suspension of the Col:stitution, the for-
mality of naming a Committee of Inquiry has been ob-
served. Even in the terror•falt days of SlD3tount and
CASILEREAGII we had a green bag, from which docu-
ments were drawn and cited as proofs of the necessity for
the measures then proposed. But now all is to be taken
in trust. Lord GREY believes the information he has
received to be correct, and therefore every one else is to
believe it. In one as-ertiuu he is by no means supported
by facts: we allude to that of the Irish Volunteers of
1832 resembling those of 1782. From all that has hi-
therto transpired, there is not the lightest similarity be-
tween them. The Volunteers of 1792 were armed men,
who, in the distressed state of the country at that period,
volunteered their services to the Government, to replace
the regulars sent to fight the rebel Americans. They per-
formed the routine duty as soldiers, and were as such re-
cogn4,d by the Irish and English Administrations. Before
their disbanding, however, they conditioned for some re-
compense for the services they had rendered ; and this
was conceded to them, in the shape of relief from various
infamous statutes, which pressed on the liberties and
prosperity of the Irish people. In no one point does Mr.
O'CONNELL'S Volunteer Association assimilate with this.
His men are unarmed, and are now going about the coun-
try, prevailing on the peasantry to give up their arms to
the consti•uted authorities. But the name of " Volun-
teer" seems to have scared Lord GREY ; and his B 11 of
Pains and Penalties is the consequence of his fright.—News.

CONFIDENCE IN THE MINISTAY.—SOIIIe of OUr readers
have been rating us for a want of due confidence in

the Ministry. We, doubtless, repudiate the pr fligare
mrxitu in politics, that all public men are alike. We
know the value of consistency; and we appreciate the diffi-
culties of preserving it through the various changes in our
eventful times. Liberal principles are professed; Anti-
Reformers have turned completely round, and have become
the friends of improvement. There are not a few men,
now high in power and office, who, as everyone remem-
bers, agreed with the Turns in sneering at Reform, and
in upholding a rotten system of representation, though
*bey were utterly opposed to them in everything else.

Among these men the present Premier is not to be classed.
He was a Reformer forty years aeo ; he has been one,
we believe, ever since. To say that, such a man is no
mere deserving of public confidence .than the late Lord
Castlereagh, would be to assert what our honest con-
victions dearly contradict. But, as we belong to no party
but that of the nation,—as we are not under the slightest
obligation to extenuate the delinquencies of the Whigs, or
to exaggerate the blunders and polit•cal profligacy of their
opponents,—we claim to ourselves the right to ex imine the
acts of Earl Grey's Ministry, and to appl rud or stigmatize them
according to their character and probable effect. Though
we are by no means disposed—very far from it indeed--
to view the policy and practice of the present Govern-
ment with a suspicious temper and a jaundiced eye, still we
dare not place a blind confidence in any Ministry : we can-
not applaud measures which, hid they emanated from a
Tory Cabinet, would have been designated as arbitrary,
because their promoters are members of a Whig and a Re-
forming Administration. With every disposition to think
well of a body of men who have been in a great degree
instrumental in carrying the Reform Act, we consider it
absolutely necessary to watch them closely—to warn
our readers of any symptoms of backsliding which
appear in their policy and the practical working of
their system of government, And we regret ~"-e,o
say, that the manlier in which they opened theirjttlie.
liamentary campaign was such as to induce the pretetant
suspicion that some of them were lukewarm, if not.
treacherous, to the popular cause. It Will not soon he for-
gotten, that their very first act was to place Mr. Manners
Sutt :n in the Ct•air of the House of Commons. Was not
that a suspicious circumstance ? Did it not appear very
like a truckling attempt to conciliate, by most paltry
means, the virulent foes to popular rights? 'Fire mode in
which it was managed too—the negotiation of the Mi-
nistry with their plausible candirlete—.was such as to
create distrust in the minds of many of their wellwishets
The election of an Anti Reforming Speaker was their first
act ; now for their second. For some time previous to
the opening of Parliament, it was understood that over-
tures had been made to the leading Anti-Reformers. The
regular organs of the Ministry in the Press had assumed
an altered and most offensive tone on many of the popular
questions of the day. With respect to the affairs of Ire-
lend, it was given out that an " imposing attitude" was
to be assumed ; the standing army was to be strengthened;
martial law was to supersede the Constitution ; and the
old Tory measures of coercion and violence were to be re-
sorted to by the Refoeming Ministry. But it appeared
that doubts were entertained as to the concurrence of the
Reformers in such measures as these ; and the Ministry
were therefore constrained to beg for assistance from
their Conservative opponents, in the we pun* con-
fidence that it would be joyfully acco r main-
tain that these overtures afforded str ~.,4tikeeeroid
of suspicion against the Ministry. 7.
thy.- did they
distrust their Reforming majority—thlitmaiotity which
represented the opinions of the greiterntes., 'of the
people of England ? When the day arrived forlfhl opening
of Patliament, matters assumed a still dal ker aspect. Not
one word of conciliatiori dropped from the lips of the
Ministerial organ, the proposer of the address in the Com-
mons. Every sentence breathed defiance and severity.
The Members of the cabinet, who spoke during the debate,
said nothing to mitigate or to neutralize the stern an-
nouncement of the coercive measures which they declared
to be fortecoming. Teey did not deny that the Habeas Cor-
pus Act was to be suspended, and the right of trial by a jury
of their countrymen denied to the Irish criminals. They
talked vaguely of the conciliatory measures which were to
follow.; bur, contrary to all—even to Tory precedent_
they maintained a stubborn silence as to the extent or
nature of those measures. Weee they fearful, that if they
had proclaimed their scheme of Church Reform, they
should have lost the votes of the Conservatives, when the
division on the address estate to he taken ? If such was
the caiie—if their object was to triumph over the Radical
and Repeal minority—to show how great a superiority oC
force they could command, we 'can style their conduct as
little better than a piece of desperate and dangerous
bungling. An insurrection might have broken out in
Ireland upon the receipt of the King's speech, coupled
with the speeches of the Ministers and their par.i-
sans on the first night of the session. The risk of
such a calamity was not trifling; especially when
we consider, that the highly-wrought and inflamma-
tory addresses of Mr. O'Cannell and the Irish Members--
foil of fearful forebodings and fierce denunciation—were
certain to accomp any the announcement of the intentions
of Government. it seemed to be the very aim and in-
tent of Ministers at all risks to irritate the men who lead
the Irish democracy. We have heard no one reason as-
signed for this inconceivably indiscreet conduct, except the
fear, which we have above alluded to, that to divulge
their scheme of Church Ref arm would have been to alarm
their Conservative allies—who really seem to have been
taken in on this occasion. Up to Tuesday night, there-
fore, when Lord Althorp proposed his extensive anti p-
link measure of Church Reform, we maintain that the
Ministry had not acted in such a manner as to deserve
the confidence which has been demanded for them. It
is difficult to imagine how they could consis-ently he sup-
ported both by Sir Francis Burdett and Sir Robert
Peel on Irish questions. The support of the Tories injured
them more in public estimation than it beßefited them on
the division. The effects of the suspicion tkuseengendered
in the public mind will not he easillOsoOn allayed.
We have stated some or the reasons whic-E,l,kve`eaused us
to view with distrust, and to scrutinize with adthe seve-
rity the plans and apparent policy of a Cabinet whose
measures we would gladly support and applaud. In carry-
ing through every scheme of reform and retrenchment,
which is worthy of the authors of the new Charter, we
shall freely ands alously lend them our aid. During the
snuggle ou the Reform Bill, we refrained from opposition,
when there was no little ground for it—because we would
not, in ever so slight a degree, endanger the success'ul ter-
mination of their great work. We refrained for the sake
of the People of England, whose cause they were fighting;
not for the love of the Ministry, whom we only know as
the faithful or negligent and treacherous servants of the
people. We are not bound to change sides with them.

TIIE FRACAS AT DRURY-LANE THE-
ATRE ON FRIDAY NICIIT.—It was not our intention to
have noticed this personal matter, if it had not met our
cars that a misrepresentation was to be concocted for a
Sunday paper, by the a•sociated numskulls of the Garrick
Pothouse, to which place DUNCOMBE was carried, in cus-
tody, to find bail. The facts are, that Mr. WESTMACUIT
was standing in the front wing P.S. during the last act
of the Billet, when Mr. T. S. DUNCOMBE approached
him, and after a few words of general abuse, he collared
Mr. W., who returned the compliment, by seizing him
(Mr. D.) in the same way—in the scuffle Mr. W.'s bat
was knocked iff, and Mr. DUNCOMBE aimed a blow at
Lim, which was parried and returned. The noise brought
Captain POLHILL to the spot, who immediately directed
tha assailants to quit the theatre. Anothei slight skirmish
took place as they were retreating ; and on the Captain
hearing from the gentlemen wit; witnessed it that Mr. W.
wa. not the aggressor, he directed his remonstrance to
Mr. DUNCOMBE, in these words—" Sir, you are a dis-
grace to this theatre, and shall never enter it again ;"
upon which Mr. D. was forcibly expelled. Mr. W. then
retired to consult with a friend in the theatre ; and,
during the conversation, Lord WILLIAM LENNOX arrived
with a hostile message from Mr. DUNCOMBE to Captain
POLHILL, which the Gallant Lessee immediately referred
to his friend (Captain GitoNcov, M.P. for Stafford), who
was on the spot. Mr. W.; feeling that Captain PoLmitt,
ought not to be placed is a situation of such delicacy, for
in.eiely expressing himself with proper warmth in support
at the decorum of his theatre, informed Cipt. Pc:mm[2s
friend that he would not allow matters to proceed to ex-
ti ernities between the Captain and Mr. DUNCOMBE; and
fur that purpose he sought the immediate assistance of a
Magistrate, who issued his warrant to bring them both
before him, (or the purpose of binding them to keep the
peace. In the interim, however, the affair had been ar
ranged by Mr. D. making the Captain a most ample apo-
logy for his indecorous behaviour ; and that in the pre-
sence of four persons. Mr. THOMAS, the Superintendent
of Police, to whom the execution of the warrant had been
intrusted, apprehended Mr. DUNCOMBE at CROCKFORD'S,
about 2 o'clock in the morning, and on conveying him to
the Garrick, took the written undertaking of two persons
far his appearance at Bow-street yesterday. In this rela-
tion we have purposely abstained from c.imment, in antici•
Jude) of ulterior measures, as Mr. DUNCOMBE will be
pli,s,cuted for the assault. The affair was bloodless, bruise-
less, and scarless, and the renowred Crocktardian, and
rejected of Hertford met with quite as much as be gave.—
