SPIRIT OF THE:PUBLIC TOURNALs.

We believe that we may sincerely con -
gtatulatc the country on a probable creation of
Peers by Gazette of to-morrow—an earnest of
the power and decision of the Ministry to settle
the great question of Reform. . The number
may be considered by the Reformers as some-:
what limited, but it will revive and substantiate'
their confidence in Lord Grey. The discretiOn
of the Premier may justify the delay of a larger
creation at the present moment, and the small
number will be an equitable and judicious hint
to the Anti-Reform Peers, that his Majesty will
not palter with the rights of his People. We
have reason to believe that the following No-
blemen and Commoners will form part of the
first list :

Marquis of Douglas.
Lord Seymour.
Lord F. Osborn Baron D'Arcy.
Mr. Portman Baron of Bryanatoii.
Lord Headley.
Earl of Llandatr Baron Matthew.
Earl of Traquair
Earl of Dundonald
Earl of Dunraven Baron Dunraven.
Sir F. Godmanston
Sir 'l'. Lennard Baron Brentwood.
Mr. Leigh
Mr. G. 1). Gilbert Baron Restormel. .
Sir J. St. Aubyn ... Baron Penzance.
All these creations will comprise men of high
family, and large property, whose public princi-
ples are well known to the country. Mr. Chan-
dos Leigh, of Stoneleigh Abbey, in Warwick-
shire, is least known in public politics ; he is
the representative of the dormant barony of
Leigh, one of the largest landed proprietors in
the kingdom, and is a gentleman of liberal opi-
nions and of high personal character and accom-
plishments. Sir John St. Aubyn possesses the
same requisites. We believe we may confidently
assure our readers that the Cabinet is determined
with the full approbation and consent of the
King, not only to secure the first stages of the
Bill, but to preserve the integrity and essentials
of the tneasure. We repeat, that the responsi-
bility of Lord Grey is more grave and eventful
than ever rested on any European Minister. Po-
lignac overturned a dynasty in one hour, Lord
Grey may in a moment preserve by moral cou-
rage and energy the Constitution of his country.
The fury of the Tory Press against the just
exercise of the prerogative is an index of the
fears and despair of the Anti-Reformers ; they
know that a liberal creation will extinguish cor-
ruption—hence their abhorrence of the antidote.
The Tories indulged in the same confident and
mistaken predictions against the pending disso-
lution of the preceding Parliament ; but it never-
theless occurred, and achieved its righteous ob-
ject. We exhort the Anti-Reform Peers to
open their eyes to the utter hopelessiless of
their contest ; we exhort the " Waverers" who
have just stept knee-deep into the Rubicon,
boldly to pass it. If the boroughmongers and
their few disinterested adherents could defeat
Lord Grey, by faction and intrigue, could they
overcome the people ? Impossible ! Corrup-
tion stands before the country a wrinkled, de-
formed, and derided harlot ; she can no longer
seduce by her blandishments or frighten
by her terrors. From all parts we hear
of the sullen determination of the people
to carry the measure out of doors, if it cannot
be achieved within. The large manufacturing
towns are stated to be in a course of active com-
munication, arranging for a suspension of all
work, if the Bill is rejected a second time I We
cannot approve or justify these plans ; they might
end in irrevocable revolution, and extreme national
misery ; but can it be matter of surprise ? The
constant and reported popular tumults in a neigh-
bouring country form a solemn warning to the
British Aristocracy. The author of the pam-
phlet on The Prerogative of Creating Peers
emphatically observes, " Change does not break
up Governments, but opposition to . change
brings them to ruin and decay." The question
everywhere asked, and nowhere answered, is—
will the Bishops now vote against the Bill ?
Verily he will be an heroic Prelate, and have
exceeding faith in his establishnzents, who, from
lack of apprehension, or a romantic taste for
"consistency," shall repeat his vote against the
will of the Monarch—the people, the Ministry,
and half the Aristocracy ! We put confidence
in the sagacity, at least, of the Right Reverend
Prelates : they know too well the Scripture his-
tory and fate of the swine, who, " possessed
with the devil," rushed down the precipice and
perished.—Morning Chronicle.
