spiritual, it can have no such effect. Such men will
never yield in time ; they are apt blindly and furiously
to set theinselves against the public will, and to force
their ow' projects, they would convulse the kingdom.
These are occurrences to be deprecated and averted,
and therefore it is that we have offered the foregoing
observations upon the intermixture of men with
but one idea, and that a wrong one, amongst persons
more enlightened and more practicable. At the same
time let us once more state, that a prompt prospectus of
the policy to be pursued—not vague, so as to be open
ether to:evasion by one party, or to cavil by the other,
but definite, intelligible, and binding—may remove
the chfe!f grounds of objection to any appointments
that have been made, or to any that are still appre-
hended. In the Cabinet are some able and respected
Ministeis. All political parties are of chequered ma-
terials. The Duke of Wellington, Sir R. Peel, Lord
Aberdeen, and the Lord Chancellor will, we take for
granted, be the principal movers of the body. Sir
Edward Sugden is an admirable lawyer. Had poli-
tical considerations directed the choice of a Chancellor
for Ireland, he probably would not have been ap-
pointed. If Earl de Grey, better known as Lord
Grantham, the brother of Lord Ripon, should consent
to go to Ireland, we suppose it will be allowed that a
more upright man never held the vice-regal sceptre.—
Times.

Our readers will observe in our report of the pro-
ceedings at a meeting last night of the parishes of St.
Margaret's and St. John's, Westminster, that a letter
from Sir F. Burdett, dated Foremark, the 14th inst.,
in answer to inquiries from some of his constituents,
was read to the meeting. We wish we could speak
favourably of this production, which, we are sorry to
say, is of a somewhat jesuitical complexion, and which
might do mischief at this time, had not too much evi-
dence been already afforded by Sir Francis of late years,
that, from some cause or other, little reliance is to be
placed on his judgment. The public ought never to
forget what they owe to the Honourable Baronet for
his devotion to their cause during a long period when
Reforin was by no means in vogue ; but gratitude ought
not to be carried so far as to endanger the public
interest. The man who is not with us at this time is

against us. He who cannot see the difference between
a Ministry composed of men who entertain sound
principles, and men who, down to their entrance on
office, have opposed every measure beneficial to the
nation, is not fit to be a representative of Westmin-
ster, or any other place. It is forcibly observed in the
" Appendix to the Black-book," just published, at a
small price—a manual which ought to be in the hands
of every Reformer at this crisis—" Respecting the
question which now fixes public attention—namely,
the conflicting claims of the ' Ins' and the Outs,'
there seems little difficulty. The point at issue is
simply this—shall the people repose confidence
in those who adopt reform from principle, or in
those who repudiate it on principle ? In private
life the election would be promptly made. When
men walk in danger with their eyes open,
when they sin against knowledge, it is justly deemed a
sign of weak or deranged intellect. He is a foolish
shepherd who places over his flock a dog accustomed
to bite sheep ; nor less would be the fatuity of the
people, if they trusted those who have always made
them their prey, not watched over their welfare. Pro-
fessions of Reform will always be abundant." Sir
Francis Burdett must by this time have seen the list
of the Ministry ; and he has in that list sufficient
materials to enable him to judge whether the nation
ought or ought not to have such men at the head of
its affairs. If he has any hesitation, after seeing the
list, he is not fit for a Representative of Westminster.
He ought to be called on, without a day's delay, to
explain himself, yea or nay, on this subject. It is
because the people of England have the power of se-
curing themselves against misgovernment, that they
wish to crush in limine a Ministry from which no good
can be expected.—Morning Chronicle.
