Considering it as certain that the present Adminis-

cannot stand, the author proceeds to examine
what ought to be the conduct of their successors. And
first, on what terms ought they to take office ? On
this Point the writer is most explicit. A creation of
Veers (in his opinion Peers for life), sufficient to re-
e'Llblish harmony between the two Houses, ought to
he an absolute condition. This he shows with great
force and spirit. And if, as there is reason to believe,

Pamphlet speaks the sentiments of a part at least,
if not the whole, ci the late Administration, so strong
a declaration on this point is highly important.
The writer thinks, and, in our opinion, for t
w toy reasons, that Peers should be eligible to the
House of Commons, otherwise the creation of so many
P°Pnlar .Peers might for ever exclude from the other

not wish that Earl SPENCER, the Earl of DURHAM,

heard in that assembly in which the direction of public
its, now and hereafter, does and will mainly reside ?
To the observations contained in the pamphlet on
hiring official seats to Ministers, on paying the Ca-
.olic Clergy, on Secondary Punishments, and other
tilPertant subjects, we can onlytion
call the reader's atten-
He will find them well worthy of perusal and
consideration.

The
best test of real integrity of purpose is the pro-
bableth =votive which actuates an adviser. When no-
lag is to be gained beyond the satisfaction of perform-

ng a duty, there can be no suspicion of self-interested-

It
would be uncharitable to suppose that the rene-
gade portion of the press,—that part of it, we mean,
.11hich has deserted its declared principles and mixed
2.11 the ranks of an old enemy, under the somewhat un-
ntelligible pretext of securing most good to their
friend
s--can have been moved by any incentive of a
selfish or interested character. From sheer liberality,
therefore, it is but generous to infer that their zeal has
been wakened by no hope of private advantage. Yet
clectors, whilst by no means doubting the honesty

Jurors, holding enquiries upon such matters, can deter-

ordinarily characterise the proceedings of the many.
Taking, then, this common-sense standard for their

Such a sudden abandonment of all previous rules of
setien by the Prints in question, so contrary to the
''Seal Course of every day doings, can only denote a
tate of mind, the wisdom of which ought not too re-
ligiously to be con aded in. If the Tories from some
Ituaecountab!e impulse are held forth as the only true
and trustworthy Reformers—a character which ever
t
cfC're WaS held by them in perfect contempt and
°diuul--it is not easy to see why, therefore, their
old tewh-and-nail opponents the Reformers, should
turn Tory supporters. The support might be
.r charitably intended, but it would at the same
te7ne be such a thorough departure from the or-
tnarY rules of conduct among men, that the Re-
-form ers;
would most justly subject themselves to the
6asPieion of downright craziness.
If not wiser, it were surely more judicious in them,
then, to pin their reliance upon the advice of those who
have all along proceeded in the beaten path of corn-
Zion-sense, and who, moreover, have nothing to gain
Y giving it, save the reward of a conscientious dis-
charge of public duty. That advice is very short and
pithy ; distrust the Tories and their new partizans ;

the people or themselves, and the other either knaves
