LONDON,
MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 24. 1834.

The storm which we have been predicting for this
week past, has at length burst on the heads of the
Tories. The country is roused to a man. There is
no mincing of matters—no mealy-mouthed declara-
tions of dislike to a WELLINGTON Ministry—no
halting—no vacillation—the people everywhere speak
out unequivocally—and their language is this—We
will have no Government that is not prepared to
carry on, to an equal, or even greater extent than
its predecessors, the good work of Reform. Had
we space to insert only one-half of the com-
municatiens on this subject that we have re-
ceived this day from all parts of the country, we
should ring an alarm in the ears of the Tories that
they would not forget to their dying day. Meantime,
we insert a few, and shall not forget the rest. Our
provincial readers will be delighted to find that the
metropolis is not far behind them, in its hostility to a
WELLINGTON Administration. The City Members
—to their eternal honour be it spoken I—have, one
and all, declared their opinions on the subject. They
distrust the DUKE. They distrust his Cads. They distrust
them generally and individually, in the detail and in
the mass. Ireland, speaking through O'CONNELL and
her Reform Members, uses precisely the same language.
And here, while alluding to the determination of
the sister-country, we should feel ourselves want-
ing in our duty, were we to forbear, one instant,
-from expressing our. - atim;, qiiun of

O'CONNELL'S conduct on this great emergency.
Perish all minor differences ! They must not
be thought of now—now when all depends on
Union. Mr. O'CONNELL then (with pride we make
this declaration) is playing ambition's noblest game—
he is making common cause with the people of three
kingdoms—he is putting himself forward at the head
of the Reformers of Ireland, and calling on them to
combine in hostility to a bigoted Tory Government.
Scotland is not behind hand. She, too, is on the stir,
and When the gallant Scots once stir, it is always to
some purpose. Will the Duke dare to oppose this
mighty popular array ? And if he do, will Sir Ito-
PERT PEEL ? We doubt it much. Sir ROBERT
has none of that chivalry which should induce him to
take up arms in the cause of a falling party. He is pro-
verbially discreet, and knows well how to bide
his time. However—be this as it may—the
people have but to be determined and united,
to overthrow the great Duke, and all whom he may
prevail on to take part with him. Toryism is just
now in the agonies of the death-struggle. Its apparent
energy is not the energy of strength, but of convulsion.
Once crushed, it is crushed for ever, for there is no re-
surrection for defunct bigotry.

What will Sir ROBERT do ? Will he join the
Duke's Administration ? The daily and weekly
cacklers in the pay of the Tories would fain persuade
us that this is a matter past all doubt. But as truth is
a virtue with which they, at no time, allow themselves
to be much encumbered, and, least of all, when it
stands in the way of a favourite project, we are dis-
posod to think Sir Rowewr's adhesion the less
probable the more confidently they assert it.
The cock-a-whoop tone of these parasites is not a little
at variance with the ccinduct of their masters. In the
proceedings of the latter we perceive no symptoms of
confidence, stability-, or permanence. There all wears
a prbvisional aspect—every thing indicates doubt and
anxiety. The great monopolist of office dares not
part with a single seal—dares not make a
single move in the desperate game which he
has undertaken to play. LYNDHURST too, the
sagacious and wily LYZ:DHURST, lies upon his oars.
He is not yet quite sure that the tide is turned, and he
knows the danger of mistaking a partial eddy for the
main current. He must be Chancellor, if the
Tories continue at, the helm. They cannot do with-
out him. He is a fluent speaker, and the only good
debater they have in the Upper House. And to do him
Justice, he deserye,s something at their hands. He has
wrought hard i7a their service. He opposed the Re-
form Bill bc,th by open hostility, and by that in-
trigue for wl",ich he is peculiarly qualified by his artful
character, rind his oiliness of tongue; and since the
passing of that measure, he has lent them a helping hand
to defeat all its objects. He has, therefore, strong
claims on Tory gratitude. That he is a fit person to
br LOV.D CHANCELLOR of Great Britain, far be it
from Ll's to insinuate, but he is appointed to that office,
after rather a queer fashion. The comical addition of
PRO TEMPORE is joined to his style and title. He is
only a quasi Chancellor, and he is still Chief Baron of
thel EXCHEQUER. Why does he not resign this inferior
office ? He knows better. He sees a cloud in the
horizon, and he knows that were he to ship himself at
once in the Tory bark, and were that. cloud to

gather into a storm, he and the rotten old hulk, must
go to the bottom together
The Duke had determined on a Dissolution. The
very day after he assumed the Dictatorship he had the
writs for a new election made out. The gun was loaded,
and the gunner, with his usual promptitude, stood
ready with the lighted match. Why did he not apply
it to the touch-hole ? LYNDHURST held his hand
he had some misgivings. "Be not too hasty" said
he, " we know not what may happen—the gun may
recoil—wait till PEEL arrives." This was sound and
good advice. For without the Right Hon. Baronet
all their labour is vain, and not only vain but dange-
rous. If they begin the up-hill work in his absence,
and he refuse to join them, their case is ten times more
hopeless than it was before—the punishment of Sjsy-
PHU'S is their inevitable doom.

Sir ROBERT is a man of sense ; and no one has a
keener eye for discerning the signs of the times. If
he find that he can manage the present House of
Commons, or can get a manageable one by an appeal
to the country, he will unquestionably take office—
otherwise not. He is not like the HERRIESES, the
GOULBURNS, and others of the predatory tribr, who
smell the prey afar off. Sir ROBERT has some re-
putation to lose, and would have had more—much
more—but for the Duke of WELLINGTON. He
cannot, we think, owe His Grace much good
will. The humiliating sacrifice of principle which
he made, when he was dragged through the
mire of the Catholic Bill, bound hand and foot to the
conqueror's chariot wheels, is not yet forgotten. How
the Tories viewed his conduct on that memorable oc-
casion, may be gathered from the fact, that soon after
the passing of the Act, when he was on a journey
through Lancashire, they burnt the bed on which he
had slept, and the furniture of the chamber in which
he had lodged, as if pollution clung to his person.
Now the man who forgets such a thing as this, must
either have a very bad memory, or be a surpassingly
good christian. Will he play the same part a second
time ? Wiil he peril his remaining credit with his
party, and his consistency as a statesman, by wheeling
round and advocating Church Reform, and a multitude
of other questions which he has hitherto steadfastly
opposed ? We think not. He was sounded once
before. When the Duke tried on a former occasion
to put a spoke in the wheel of Reform, by undertaking
to become a Reformer himself, he wished Sir ROBERT
to do the same. An accomplished intriguer was sent
to the Right Hon. Baronet, whose powers of seduction
wet e supposed to be the greater, as he had himself run
through all the stages of political prostitution, with a
rapidity and an effrontery wholly without example.
But PEEL, though a Tory, is an Englishman, and
he shrunk from the contamination. Yet to this he
must now submit, if he makes up his mind to face the
present House of Commons. Before he can appear
in that House as its leader, for which office he is emi-
nently qualified, he must unfurl the banner of Reform.
This he cannot do, without forfeiting every claim to
political principle. His only other course is to dis-
solve the Parliament, and his doing this will depend
entirely on the attitude in which he finds the Re-
formers.

The Conservatives of Liverpool., associated for the
defence of the Established Church, were edified on
Friday last, by three most brilliant " blood and thun-
der" orations, delivered by the Rev. Messrs. BOYTO'
and O'SULLIVAN, " Apostolic Deputies" from the
most meek Orange Clubs of Ireland. The reception
which these Gentlemen met with. among the Liverpool
Tories was every way worthy of both parties ; and the
Mountebank Orators, aware that they were regarded
as phenomenons, took care not to disappoint the ex-
pectations of the gaping audience. Mr. BOYTON led
the way in a speech including every topic within and
beyond the reach of human comprehension. He
railed at the late Ministry ; blackguarded DANIEL
O'CoNNELL, the Papists, the Catholic Bishops, and
the POPE ; praised the KING, lauded the Duke of
WELLINGTON, and adored the Tories ; thanked the
Conservatives for their promptitude, and praised the
ladies for the beauty of their persons, and their critical
discrimination in all theological questions. Mr.
O'SULLIVAN followed in a strain still more original,
which he kept up without intermission for four hours
It is needless to observe that the meeting was greatly
edified and instructed by the speeches of these cele-
brated orators, which included a history of the whole
world in general, and of Ireland in particular. At the
conclusion of every three sentences, there was either
reiterated cheering or a cry of horror, as the description
happened to turn on the downfall of the Whigs, or the
expatriation of the Protestants. We only lament that
the tithe-ridden Catholics of Ireland were not all pre-
sent on this most memorable occasion, as Dr. Boy-
ToN's speech could not have failed to convince them
that tithes are among the greatest blessings of that un-
happy country. For our own part we cannot but
regret that there are persons in this country weak and
ignorant enough to encourage such mountebank exhi-
bitions on the part of the clergy. The Conservatives
may rely upon it, that the Church will not long con-
tinue to stand, if the ministers of religion thus defend
the gross abuses of the Establishment. Such conduct
in a priest is disgraceful to the sacred character with
which he is invested, and a desecration of the Altar and
the Throne, of whose rights he presumes to call himself
the advocate. In no other country in the world would
such priestly exhibitions be tolerated.

In another part of our paper will be found a report
of the tea sale which took place in the city last week.
Our readers will see that the pernicious consequences
which we predicted would result from the absurd plan
of a graduated duty, are becoming daily more and
more evident. In fact, the whole commercial
community is now of one mind as to the neces -
sity of abolishing the scale of duties, and
substituting a fixed duty in its place. We stated, on
a former occasion, our apprehension that Mr.
WYBROW had not then come to the end of his
blunders. We were not deceived. He has passed,
it appears, the same tea as Bohea in one place, and
as Congou in another. It appears also, that tea
which he had passed as Bohea was sold as high as
3s. per lb., paying a duty of only Is. 6d. ; while other
tea, passed as Coungou, fetched only ls., and paid a
duty of 2s. 2d. per lb. Any remark upon this is quite
unnecessary.
