WILLIAM, R.

Whereas We have in Our Council thought fit to declare
Our pleasure for summoning and holding a Parliament of
Our United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, on
Thursday, the nineteenth day of February next en-
sning the date hereof ; in order, therefore, to the electing
and summoning the Sixteen Peers of Scotland, who are to

by the advice of Our Privy Council, issue forth this Our
Royal Proclamation, strictly charging and commanding all
the Peers of Scotland to assemble and meet at Holyrood
House, in Edinburgh, on Tuesday, the tenth day, of
February next ensuing, between the hours of twelve and
two the afternoon, to nominate and choose the Sixteen Peers,
to sit and vote ;in the House of Peers in the said ensuing
Parliament, by open election and plurality of voices of the
Peers that shall be then present, and of the proxies of

such as shall be absent (such proxies being Peers, and pro-
ducing a mandate in writing, duly signed before witnesses,
and both the constituent and proxy being qualified accord-
ing to law), and the Lord Clerk Register, or such two of
the principal Clerks of the Session as shall be appointed by
him to officiate in his name, are hereby respectively required
to attend such meeting, and to administer the oaths re-
quired by law to be taken there by the said Peers, and to

time hereby appointed for the meeting of the said Peers to
proceed to such election.

Witness Ourself at Brighton, this twenty-ninth day of De-
cember one thousand eight hundred and thirty-four, and
in the fifth year of Our reign.
GOD SAVE THE KING.

With a patience, whose only reward will be th'e con-
sciousness of good intention, we have waded through
the Tory Directory for 1834-5, published as an ad-
vertisement in the Blackfriars broadsheet of yesterday
morning. Whilst to the loyalists that , : list
cannot fail to be a source of exceeding gre.: .ich
r good may it do them,) it promises to pro
_.
acquisition to the commercial interests of the WI:Ad i❑
general, and our native provinces in particular. In
this famous advertisement, (which it is melancholy to
think brings not two mortal shillings to the Exchequer
in the shape of duly,) all men will now have before
their eyes a summary view of the whole of the wealth,
influence, and character in the City of London—the
accuracy of the information cannot be doubted, for
have we not the authority of the subscribing parties for
saying so ? Every name therein appearing is, a name
of wealth, character, and influence ; the party to whom
it pertains hath said it, and he voucheth for the fact
by the signature of his own right hand ! The asser-
tion is conclusive to the end of time I

Very many of the persons whose names swell the
goodly muster-roll it is our fortune to know ; some,
it has been our misfortune to have heard of ; a very
large bulk we have heard or known no more about
than about the men who people the planet Saturn. Our
ignorance, however, cannot justify doubt—that they
are to a man the most affluent and influential body
among the citizens of London, may not hereafter be
suspected.

Two mighty advantages in a commercial point of
view are attained by the publication of this list ; no
references, (involving trouble, difficulty, and loss of
time,) as to the respectability, credit, or "goodness" of
trading citizens are now required ; a House has only to
refer to the " Tory Directory of civic wealth, influ-
ence, and character," (the names will, of course, be
,alphabetically arranged and published in a cheap form
as a counting-house companion to the almanac,) and it
sees at a glance whether an " order" is to be sent
home to the buyer, or sent back to stock again. That
is one of the benefits, and a prodigiously excellent one
it is. The second is scarcely less, for the names ap-
pearing in the other Directories—Pigott's or the Post-
office—not having place in this, have only to be aste-
risk'd off, and lo ! all the property-less and character-
less people in London will stand forth in naked display
before the world. What a capital contrivance I Leave
the Tories alone for achieving marvels for the good of
mankind

The estimated importance of a battle may be inferred
from the preparations of an enemy. The Tories, who,
a week or two ago, attempted to sneer down the " great
crisis," are now themselves seriously alive to its exist-
ence, and actually dole out their solemn exhortationi
by the very strength and momentousness of its name.

We have not acted the part of mean disputants,
suppressing or contorting the proceedings of our ad-
versaries ; fairly and honourably have we made our
columns the vehicle for presenting them, as they them-
selves desired they should appear in their own journals.
As nothing has been extenuated, so, moreover, nothing
has been set down in malice : they have been repre-
sented in the aspect they deemed most appropriate for
their own purposes : they have painted themselves in
colours of their own choosing, and we have transferred
the picture, undefaced by any false tinting of a spite-
ful opponent.
It is from these proceedings that we behold the

desperate energy which signalizes the present grew
Tory struggle, and from them we can but coiled

hat the struggle is less for patriotism than for

party power. The spirit that, to a man, animates
the faction is furious to the last extremity of
violence ; not the calm determination of a wise
and righteous judgment, but the extravagance of pas-
sion. In their speeches are heard the wild declamations
of zealotism, the bigotry of right-or-wrong partizanship.
They talk not of the people, but of their party. It is
with them but the question of Duke or no Duke, Tories
or no Tories. The people think not so much of men
as of their country ; they name not this man or that
man ; their only battle-cry is Constitutional Reform.
They have_no. political puppet to plant in the niche of.,
a displaced Duke. They care for no name, they have •
no idol ; give them but those from whose known prin-
ciples they can deduce a safe moral assurance of good
intentions, and for this name or that name they have
small regard. They do not indeed think that al mule
is most likely to be obedient to a rider's will, and thence

they infer that the Tories are not the most likely to
obey the reins of Reform. But the Tory cry is for the
perpetuation of re-usurped power for Tory ends, and
not for the people's happiness.
Recur to all or any one of their great Conservative
meetings, and what a spectacle of raving hatred to the
people is presented. Mark their " deafening and long-
continued cheerings"_not at the convincing arguments
of wisdom in the support of truth, but at the mention
of a name : a whisper of the. Duke or the Queen, and
they are ready to crack their throats with nine-times-
nine, and the Eldonian envoy of one cheer more.
Note well the disgusting display of " Reverend"
attenders, who forgetful of the quiet of their own souls,
and the heavenly-mindedness of their flocks, take per-
sonal part in these matters " of the earth, earthy."
What has the man of GOD to do with the list of
worldly ambition, but to denounce it ? Sir ROBERT
PEEL truly observed, that the people were sick of
agitation—they are, but who are the agitators? Who
now are shaking society to its centre but the Tories,
of whom he is the nominal head, to re-attain place and
p3wer ?

The Tories confess, with a great show of candour,
