there was a profeasor there and a parson, and they
heard the House of Lords talked of as having no
i;teratuae, no knowledae in science, no skill in the
arts. They, " nimt respectable gentlemen," could
not muster courage to tell, that upon the Bench of

that anion., them are ntunbered the best soldiars of the
preeent, and the most eminent lawyers of any age, and
what is preetically better, sounder statesman and more
clever men of business than the whole realm claewhere
con furnish. And who assailed the Lords,—their
talents, their acquirements, their accomplishments,
thelrliterature ?_ Why, one of the most notorious
Luray-notiias that the Jesuits' school at St, ()niers
ever Spawned: a helot of the loridly hierarchy of Pomo,
':aed as its 1011/est helots always- are, for the priest-
hesiood in eTacland, which all Popes !hitherto have 'rooked
land .of harloariam, and
aeon as, little
,better. than a
which it is the Polity of Rome to continue, if possl:3L,
for all time, in the same condition as a perpetual
scourge and an incurable sore to Protestant Great
Britain. Daniel cut the priesthood, and betook him-
self to civil instead of spiritual imposture and plunder
but with no more than the very slender education he got
at St. Diners, which is little, if at all, above what Pros-
pero bestowed on Ca/Man—nor much better applied—
" --- When thou didst not, savage,
Know thine own meaning, but wouldat gabble like
A thing most brutish, I endow'd thy purposes
With worth that made them known; but thy vile race,
Though thou didst learn, had that in't which good natures
Could not abide to be with."
But if these 200 were not respectable for their cha-
racter or conduct, as evidenced at the dinner, which,
we apprehend, we have sufficiently. established they
were not,' have we any reason to suppose that they
!lave claims upon our respect for knowledge or for ta-
lent ? We think not: on the contrary, we suspect
them to he, if possible, more ignorant of all that to-
lera!ily well-informed men are familiar with, than even
their guest Dan himself is. The ground of our sus-
picion is the following toast, one of the earliest :
—" The Duke of Sussex, and those members of
the Royal Family, who have not forgotten the prin-
ciples which seated their family on the throne." Has
neither Professor 11‘.dylne nor Parson Brewster such
a book as a History of England in his library ? Do
the 200 spend all their money in eating and drinking,
so that. they have not even a few 'shillings to spare
for the purchase of an abridgment of Goldsmith ?
The "principles" which seated the House of Bruns-
wick on the throne I Pray, most sapient sotters, what
were they ? The principles of the constitution of
these realms were settled long before • that family
was placed on the throne ; 'and the succession of
that family to the Crown was decreed, not in con-
sequence of • any " principles," but because of the
fact that, descended from the royal line, they were
Protestants. But there were then no Scotch pro-
fessors or Scotch parsons to feed, and fawn upon
Papist agitators ; no captain in the army to sit tamely
by and hear a greater soldier than Marlborough
vilified and ridiculed by a braggart bully ; no 200 men
in any part of Great Britain, much less in Scot-
land, who would not have shrunk with horror
from a missionary that preaches down all religion,
and would deprive the poor, the sick, and the
friendless of the consolations -of the Gospel, in order.
triat by setting up the "voluntary principle" here, he
may establish Popery in Ireland. Oh I Parson, Brews-
ter, and thou, of double responsibility, Parson and.
Professor Mylne, redeem yourselves, and with all speed,
by another gathering of the same ignorant and mis-
taken men ; and, instead of this toast, pray with them,
and get them to join your prayer, that none of you may
ever forget why your ancestors, passing by the direct
line of succession, adopted that which placed the pre-
sent Royal Family on the throne. So much, then,
for " the 200 most respectable gentlemen" who enter-
tained, and were entertained by, the•mountebank, who
represents all Ireland, as he says ; which is true, if
he mean all the beggary and blackguardism of that
country. And, now that these exhibitions of O'Con-
nell are drawing to a close, we have a, word or two to
say respecting them to the really respectable people of
Great Britain. We have been careful to publish this
wretch's rabid ruffianism, in order that we might 'put it
on record, and so give every one wherewithal to reply
to him, when, as assuredly he will, he stands upon the
floor of the House of Commons, and re-acting the shock-
ing part he played in the case of Murphy of Killarney,
• calls God to witness that he never used any language
ofthe kind, or that he used it only, jocularly, We have
not seen anything in the conduct of the vast majority of
the House of Commons to lead us to believe that they
will express themselves in other than terms of the
strongest indignation and reproof, if the language should
be avowed for genuine, and acknowledged to have
been delivered in earnest—but we have seen quite
enough of the majority of that assembly to make us
suspect that if Daniel should deny it, or excuse it as a
joke, they will pass it over. .Nowe we warn them,
not so will the people. If a, Dorsetshire labourer, or
a handloom weaver, had said half as much, he would
have been prosecuted. We are no friends to State
trials—we recommend none. We must, however, be
permitted to call the attention of the public to the
tone which the Minieterial prints, the organs and
month-pieces of the Government, employ in speaking
of O'Connell. One of them, after slavering and -slob-
bering Daniel, almost blubbered the other night over
the absence of the Whigs and gentry of Scotland from
the Edinburgh feed ; vihile another called Daniel, " a
" distinguished individual," said, that Sir R. Peel's
speeches were but " plausible egotisms,". and not at
• all comparable to the " fnr mere cordial," (in the s6nse
of strong gin, we suppose,) " if, less balanced and
smooth words," of O'Connell. They are still con-
I-tinning the same strain—and these thingslnu§t be re-
' lumbered to the Ministers when the Parliament re-
assembles. The Ministers concluded the King's
speech With this exhortation :
" My Lords, and ,Gentlemen,
" -I know that I may securely rely upon your loyalty and
patriotism, and I feel confident, that in returning to your
respective counties, and in resuming those functions which
you discharge with so much advantage to the community,
you will recommend to a.rl classes of your • countrymen else-
thence to the law, attachment to the Constitution, and. a
spirit of temperate amendment, which, under Divine Pro-
vidence, are the surest means cf preserving the tranquillity,
and increasing the prosperity k hich this country enjoys."
The Ministers carefully keep out of Daniel's wake,
but they permit the prints under their, control to speak
of him in the manner we have described. This -may
be cunning, it may be thought clever, but it will not
impose upon the people. If O'Connell and his
speeches be not denounced by. Ministers for what they
are, coarse, "vulgar, false, and seditious, and him Self
for what he is, an itinerant stirrer-up of broils and dis-
content—it may be of rebellion among the more igno-
rant of the mob—then,his speeches will become as
much Lord Melbourne's or Lord John Russell's as
they arc his own, anti the responsibility of them will
be their's as well as his.—Times.
If nominal cheapness, especially of bread, the first
necessary of life, were an unerring standard of, or even
prelude to, national prosperity, the people of this
country ought to be low in a more flourishing and
contented state than at any period of even our own
previous history. Bountiful Providence has for a
series of years showered the full tide of its blessings
upon us, in genial seasons and abundant crops, crown-,
tug each successive year with peace and plenty ; but
for all this the nation is not contented a • d happy ; on
the contrary, great discontent and raise y exist—greater
even, it is to be feared, than when bread, the staff of
life, was at an apparently unattainable price--and the

must be afflicted with a melancholy obsctirlf.s; of
vision who do not perceive that such is the case ;
while, if they do know it, how criminally supine
are they become if they can neglect, as tiro), appear
to do, the duty, however onerous, of probing the
evil to the bottom, and in applying the remedy ere
it be too late ? These fatal words " too late" are
indeed the opprobrium and the stigma of our mo-

Bislions alone i.

race of public men. Scarcely for years past has
any Measure of general relief or public policy been
adopted till it has actually been forced upon our Statc2.
inen, as one of dire necessity ; while many which would
have been received as boons, granted in time, are,
coming " too late," received without gratitude or ryes-
nect by those for whose benefit they are designed.
Unhappily the truth of these remarks applies equally
to men of all parties ; and indeed one of the main
causes of the present, discontents may he traced home
to toe first man in the country with greater truth, we
fear, than to that minor race to whose imbecile
guardianship public affairs are now confided. It is
to Sir Robert Peel's fatal Currency Bill that we
allude, which has don© more to unhinge society by
impoverishing its members, than whole ages of any
other specks of misrule could effect. That the Whigs
of the day had their share in originating this fatal mea-
sure, as their successors are seen upholding' it, is very
true ; and though the nurse may divide with the parent
the deformity of the offspring, it is the fatter that will
ever bear the dishonour attached to its name. To this
cause, then, coupled With the false theories of Free
Trade, it is that the main source of the evils which at
present afflict the country may be traced. That other
causes may, be found greatly aiding in this. unfortunate
state of things is undeniable. That be these causes
1 whit they may, what arc our. statesmen doing, either
to take away the cause or obviate the effect ?• The
author of the Currency Bill, at once the most able and
the most candid of the present race of public men, has
himself not only taken no one step to remedy the great
error of his publie life,-but resolutely resists every e4fort
emanating from any other quarter which-has for its, ob-
ject any such attempt, While this obstinate persistence
in error continues---,-while deaf to the warnings which
everywhere surround them, and every day speak in
language more plain and audible--we wonder that we
see no amelioration of our situation, or that the crafty
demagogue is found to fasten with SUCCCSS upon that
morbid state of the public mind which the skill of the
statesman should dissipate. It is happily true that the
disease has not yet reached the vital parts, and that
there is still sufficient vigour and health in the
_consti-
tution to overcome its approaches, but without effort
these cannot be brought into play. No mere unassisted
effort of nature could throw off such an incubus as that
to which we have alluded. It must and can be alone
removed by the firm and steady hand of the skilful
practitioner, aware of the danger, and not ignorant of
the remedy.—Morning
The press that serves, and the itinerant mountebank
who commands, the present Administration, unite in
their endeavours to persuade the people of England
that the 'House.- of Lords must now be reformed—
meaning thereby that, if not abolished altogether, that
noble assembly must be converted forthwith into an
elective and democratical chamber. ln support of this
doctrine many false pretexts and much foolish vitupera-
tion are daily employed, the whole of which falsehood
and folly, when calmly considered, amounts only to
this, that a reform of the House of Lords is indispen-
sable to the public welfare ; first, because that House
of Parliament is habitually and systematically tardy
and reluctant to consent to changes in the machine of
Government, or the structure of society ; and, secondly,
because it does not (which is evidently regarded as a
far deeper sin) yield implicit confidence to the wisdom
and patriotism of Mr. O'Connell and Mr. Hume, of
Lord Melbourne and Lord J. Russell. These, we need
not say, so far from being reasons why the constitu-
tion of the 'House of Lords should undergo any change,
are, in our estimation, and in that, we firmly be-
lieve, of a large majority .of the reflecting and intel-
ligent portion of the British people, the strongest
proofs which could be adduced that the House of
Lords feels and acts in pursuance of the powers, and
in perfect harmony with the. duties, which have been
assigned to that exalted branch of the Legislature by
every learned, philosophical, or authorative expounder
of the British Constitution. We should be glad if
any of the servile scribes, or the dominant mounte-
banks, of the Whig-Radical Administration would
condescend to let us know how many organical changes
in the British Constitution that Administration re-
quires the'privilege of making, in the hope that, by
dint of successive experiments, it may at length dis-
cover some form or system of Government, by means
of which it will be poSsible for it to rule the country.
The House of Commons was reformed by the Whigs
according to the pattern which they thought most
likely to perpetuate their own power in the State, and
at the second general election after this Reform they
found themselves so weak in that Assembly that they
were compelled to unite their force to that of the Eng-
lish Radicals and the Irish Repcalers, whom hitherto
they had spurned and denounced ; nay, so thoroughly
had their own reform of the House of Commons dis-
appointed their hopes that, after the disgraceful and
unprincipled junction, the whole union of Whigs,
Radicals, and Repealers could not muster a majority
of one twentieth of the aggregate assembly. The
confederacy then tried to accomplish a supplementary
reform of the House of Commons, still keeping steadily
in view the same objelt which governed every clause,
word, and letter of the original reform ; but it was yet
somewhat too -soon to discredit the great reform mea-
sure of the Whigs by the open avowal that it had dis-
appointed the expectations of its authors ; and the sup-
plementary reform was accordingly disguised under the
name of a Municipal Corporation Bill. The trick was
detected and defeated by the Upper House of Parlia-
ment, which preserved so much of the Corporation
Bill as tended in any degree to the attainment of its
beneficial and acknowledged purposes, but stripped
it without mercy of that character and tendency,
for sake of which it had really been introduced as
a Whig-Radical addenda to the Whig Reform
Bill. The House of Lords are entitled to the
praise of having foiled an attempt of the Whigs
and Radicals to legislate surreptitiously and clan-
destinely—an attempt to obtain an object of their
own under cover of an act to improve the local go-
veinment of our cities and boroughs. This is an of-
fence not easily forgiven. But it is not the resent-
merit merely of disappointed ambition and deceit
which inspires the rabid invectives of the Whig-Radi-
cal mountebanks and press against the Upper House
of Parliament, and their clamour for the destruction, or,
which is literally the same thing, the reform, of that
assembly. The House of Lords is reviled and me-
naced from cunning policy full as much as from vin-
dictive passion. The Whig-Radicals know full well
that they can only secure to themselves the possession
of place and power by keeping up that excitement
and agitation of the public mind to which the discus-
sion and the prospect of organical changes in the
Constitution of the country are indispensable in-
gredients. They know that discontent with esta-

the State when they teach the public to talk habitually
and familiarly of a reform which, it is evident to the
most inconsiderate and uninformed, can never be ac-
complished by other than revolutionary means. Their
whole course of conduct presents, in short, a continued
.series of proofs that they care much for their own
power and profit, and little for the British Constitu-
tion. How many organical changes of the Constitu-
tion do our Whig-Radical statesmen contemplate ?

CONSTA:ITINOPLE.

This morning, Sept. 2nd, the GoVernment steamer Alban
arrived here from Athens, and immediately ran up to
Buvud6re, to land the Bavarian Princess, aunt of King
Otho, wlio came up by her, accompanied by the faMily of
Count Armansperg, and by other ladies. The steamer re-
turns to this'port nnmediitely to take on board coals, and
they proceeds to join the frigate Barham, which is Outside,
to tow her up, should the wind continue light, as at present.

. „
Lord Durham remained on hoard the Barham, and will
consequently hardly be in till to-morrow. The frigate
Vulage, with Mr. Doyle, which went down to meet his
Lordship at Athens, had got back to the Dardanelles, and
is also expected up immediately. Mr. Slade, Flag-Lieu-
tenant. of Admiral Rowley, left this on the 29th ult. for
the Dardanelles, with dispatches from Lord Ponsonby, and
the brig Columbine was waiting ready to receive him. The
Pluto steamer proceeded from Trebisonde the day before
yesterday, with Mr. Ellis, who on Saturday had his audi-
ence of the Sultan, by whom he was received in the most
flattering manner. His Majesty spoke with great warmth
of his satisfaction at the growing friendship of England,
which he professed highly to prize.
On the 30th of August despatches, of a very fresh date,
were received at the Porte from Hamdi Paella and Vas-

tal' Effendi. The Turkish army had passed the defiles
and mountains, without any opposition on the part of tha
Albanians, and was encamped in the plain of Berat. The
blockading squadron was at Cavaglia, and there was a free
and unobstructed communication between it and the army.

The insurgents evinced every disposition •
to come to terms
on the first condition, of a general and unqualified amnesty.
The Turkish chiefs are, I am told, authorised to accede to
this, therefore strong hopes are entertained that Albania
will soon be restored to tranquillity. I. have this from a
good source, but, it may be proper to add, from one par-
ticularly interested in representing everything in the most
favourable light possible for the Turks. It will be well if
the Porte get over the affair so easily as they anticipate.
Hafex Pacha has at Schodra raised up an enmity against
the Turks in general, which may not be so readily ap-
peased, and when the army approaches that city, it is
possible that a warm reception may yet await it. Per-
manent difficulties of a serious character -can hardly,
however, be looked for, because the Albanians are now

lisunited, and they have no longer the same excite-

went as before from the Sultan "of Egypt (as they I
call their friend Mehemet Ali), who must be re:.
thcr puzzled by the blockade. Should they siabinit in
a body, it behoves the Porte to govern them sagely
and with lenity, for they are an irascible and warlike people,
ever bearint, oppression with impatience, and easily encou-
raged to draw the sword. Such being the case, it was
highly imprudent in the Porte to put to death, as they it.id
the other day, Ismael Potta, a chief of great influe7ice, who
hod come to Constantinople under assurance's of personal
safety. It is true Vastaff Effendi deneunced him as a
traitor, whose object in coming here was to favour the cause
of rebellion ; but surveillance, and not the bow-string, was
evidently the precaution the Porto had to adopt to prevent
mischief from his intrigues,
The Turkish Envoy is returned from Athens, without
having effected the. object of his mission, which, it will be
recollected, regarded the boundaries, and the appraisement
of Turkish property abandoned to Greece, in consequence
of the extension of her limits. The Greek Government is
by no means pliable, and seem to think that the Porte must
of necessity give way in every thing. This is not the way
to secure the treaty the Greeks are so anxious to conclude
with the Porte, and I believe they are now as far from ob-
taining their aim in that respect as ever, notwithstanding
that Mr. Kobell is still remaining here deeply engaged in
the matter. Indeed the Greeks are altogether in bad odour
here, and it is in vain that their embassy, without a treaty
to back its pretensions, attempts to assume all the privileges
of the most favoured nations. Many of the Greek shop-
keepers, who had no choice but to become Rayahs, or re-
nounce totally the pursuit of their business here, have
adopted the former alternative.
(Yn the 27th August a Russian corvette arrived here
from the Mediterranean squadron. The Tunisian frigate
Huseinie also arrived here, accompanied by several mer-
chant vessels, which brought a portion of the presents sent
by the new Bey, Sidi Moustapha, to the Sultan. The pre-
sents arc altogether very valuable, consisting of abol!',
200,000 dollars in specie, numerous articles of
16 horses of high breed and remarkable beauty, 140 black
female slaves, an assortment of. Tunisian jet!: ellery,
manufactures, in-
cluding an immense number of rniPtary red caps, some rich
flags for the use of the Sultan himself, and other objects.
On the strength of this princely offering, it appears to be
understood that the new Bey will be confirmed by the head
of his religion, to whom he does homage rather in that
character than as his sovereign. The Tunisian Minister,
Shakkir Effendi, who accompanied the presents. has been
received with every honour.
On Friday last Prince Milosch had his audience of the
Sultan, and made a set speech, of which I am promised a
copy, In my last I mentioned that he had rejected the
services of Logothetti, a man known to be in the interests
of Russia. This was true ; and, moreover, the Sultan was
desirous that Milosch should keep clear of him. But what
are Princes and Sultans weighed in the scale against Rus-
sia, who is already, when it pleases her, the real ruler of
Constantinople ? y Both Milosch and his nominal Sove-
reign had to give way, and Logothetti has taken charge of
the Servian Chief! Russia is jealous lest Servia should
be withdrawn from a portion of her powerful protection.
Some imagine that the Prince has been called to Constan-
tinople in order that he may be secured as a counterpoise
to Bosnia, whose independent population might at any
follow the example of Albania ; whilst others, who
ought to be still better informed, maintain that the Porte
has nothing of the sort in view. Milosch is able to bring
into the field 60,000 fine soldiers, trained from a tender
age to the use of arms, and of course his friendship is
courted, even supposing that no immediate use is to be
made of it.

Mr: Ellis, when here, visited the Persian Ambassador,
Paladjah Hodadad Khan, who received him in a most cava-
lier manner. The Kizzelbash seemed more intent on im-
pressing his visiter with an idea of his own vast importance
than any thing else, and actually did not advance to the
door, as he ought by etiquette to have done, on the intro-
duction of Mr. Ellis. He put on the greatest airs possible,
and when Mr. E. left him, merely rose and made a careless
salaam, instead of accompanying him to the bottom of the
stairs. Our ambassador to Persia, therefore, determined to
assert his dignity, and after he had got almost to the street
door, sent for the Khan to make the apologies requisite af-
ter such a reception. The Persian became alarmed, shuffled
down stairs with smiling humility, and was lavish of excu-
ses, a whole body of which were stammered forth without
head or tail. The triumph of Mr. E. was complete, as the
aniende honorable was made in the presence of many, in-
cluding the very servants of the house ; and it is to be re-
gretted the thing had not taken place in Persia, as the
haughty and insolent Persian would in that case have re-
ceived the bastinado into the bargain. The next day he
called upon Mr. E., and discharged in quick succession his
whole battery of compliments, after having embraced him
most affectionately. I have a pleasure in recording the
humiliation of this man, who, with his coxcombical pre-
tensions has insulted every one who has had occasion to
approach him.

OPINIONS OF THE MADRID PRESS ON THE
PRESENT STATE OF THE COUNTRY.
(From the Journals of September 16.)
In times when political passions run high, suspicions,
jealousies, rumours, and insinuations, calculated to excite
apprehension, are always afloat. Men conjure up doubts
and fears, and then give reality to the creations of their
imagination. This disposition of the human mind in periods
