E SUN. LONbOtc, THURSDAY, SEPTEINAR 24, 1835.

Never was there sounder logic than that. All I want
is to put it in practice, but I say not with the Lords
in the present shape.—( Cheers.) Still I am for kerning
as near it as possible. You have all read Peel's hunillug
speech at Tamworth, and of all the miserable delusiors
ever attempted to be practised on a nation, that I think
is the most contemptible, concluding with what they call
a tail with a sting in it. In the humbug speech, Peel ac-
cused us Reformers and Radicals of wishing to govern
the Country by one Chamber, in order that faction might
the more easily carry every thing before it. Now he knew,
as every one of them knew, that we had never said any-
thing of the kind. No honest man among us, and no one
would be among us if he were not honest—ever thought
for a single moment of any such a thing. On the contrary,
I wish to give the people the steadiness, the coolness, the
double discussion—the change of passion nod of station—
the alteration of personal-influence which a setiGn:3. Cham-
ber of Representatives duly chosen and amenable to the
people necessarily must give. Peel knew that very well,
but he said the reverse. I am, nevertheless, for altering
the House of Lords ; but I am content that 130 of them
should be tried as an experiment. Let the King retain his
prerogative of raising men to that rank and station in
which they may be eligible. Let every 200,000 men in
Britain and Ireland select one lord—that will give 130 for
the 24,000,000 ; let them be re-eligible every three or five
years, ai„y you will have a steady Chamber. There is a
practical sisteo.l, I won't insist it is the best that could be
devised, but the thOment that any man convinces me that I
am wrong I will foreg' my 'oar: opinions, and adopt his.
All I insist on is, that we sh;:buld have izo honest Chambers
of Representatives. The learned gentleman then referred to
the illustration of two antagonist forces pulling in contrary
directions, which he had made use of in Manchester, for the
purpose of showing that until the Lords were made re-
sponsible to the people, no beneficial reforms could take
place ; and referrinc, again to the events of the Cromwell
era, when the head of a foolish King had been cut off, said
that he was decidedly opposed to the cutting off the Lords'
heads. There was nothing in them worth examination ;
there was, in fact, nothing in them. All the phrenologists
in the world would never be able to find any other bumps
besides those of blockheadism and self-interest.--(Cheers.)
He would only call upon them to disgorge their pensions
and sinecures. Let the people of England alone, and go,
for God's sake, to the Continent, as an object of curiosity,
and an example to all whom it might concern.—(Cheers.)
The Learned Gentleman-then adverted to Widow Ryan's
case, and concluded by again denouncing the execrable and
odious House of Lords.—(Cheers.)
After some other toasts were given

Mr. J. B. GRAY (to whose kindness and courtesy we
fee! greatly indebted) proposed" Law Reform."—(Cheers.)
O'CoNNELL gave, " A Radical Reform of the House
of Lords."
Mr. O'CONNELL, in again rising, said it was not with any
design of intruding upon them at any length. He had a
very pleasing duty to perform, in proposing a toast towards
the prosperity of the Trades and Non-Electors of Glasgow.
—(Loud cheers.) The Learned Gentleman, after again
apologizing for detaining the citizens of Glasgow that day,
went on to say, that he thought the Non-Electors were as
much entitled to the franchise as the Electors—they were,
at all events, as good—(Applause)—they paid taxes—
(Applause)—were liable to be called out to serve in the mi-
i;!ia, and obey the laws, and if all this was the case, had they
not equally a right to the privilege of the franchise ?
(Applause.) The grand struggle to be made was, that the
Non-Eleciors shall be made Electors.—(Cheering.) Let
any man look t the intelligence of the tradesmen in a city
like Glasgow, or ti; here Mechanics' Institutions were now
in existence, and they would soon be convinced that there
was more solid informatim; among them than among all the
exclusive coteries of the greai folks on the face of the earth.
—(Cheering.) After various sinjar remarks, the speaker
proceeded to allude, in sarcastic terg:s, to the visit of the
Rev. Mr. O'Sullivan to Glasgow, whom, he said, was not
a bad fellow after all. He had been born of Popish parents,
like himself, and baptized by a Popish Priest, under the
extraordinary name of Murtach.—(Loud laughter.) He
saw it himself from Father O'Flannery's pulpit.—(Laugh-
ter and cheers.) More than this, he had been enrolled in
Trinity College as Murtach, and entered as a Papist, in
which faith he remained for two years. Mr. O'Connell
next proceeded to allude to the change which had been
wrought in the religious opinions of the. Reverend Gentle-
man ; and hinted that it was for pecuniary gain he became
a convert to Protestantism—he was not the fellow to do
any thing for nothing.—(Laughter and cheering.) Mur-
tach had put plenty of money in his pockets by the change ;
but lie was accompanied by a chap of the name of M'Ghee,
who, while Murtach enjoyed a good living, was only a poor
Curate.—(Applause.) The Learned Gentleman went on
at considerable length, in a similar strain of satire, to allude
to the mission of these two Reverend Gentlemen to this
country, and concluded, in an eloquent and beautiful pero-
ration, by givine, the " Trades and Non-Electors of Glas-
gow."—(Drank with great applause.)
After several other toasts from the Chair, the meeting
separated.

MENDIZABAL'S ADDRESS TO THE QUEEN.

" Twelve years have I been absent from my country,
and in the midst of the numerous events which have sur-
wiz:tied me, not a day has passed in which my memory and
my heart did not; cherish an anxious wish for its felicity.
" While associated in the sublime enterprise of a great
and illustrious Prince, the cause of all mankind induced me
to celebrate with enthusiasm the triumphs which seated the
Most Faithful Queen, his august daughter, on the Throne
of Portugal, my heart was transported with joy m contem-
plating in those triumphs a presage, or rather a precursor,
of another destiny, not less favourable for my own country.
" Your Majesty has been pleased to appoint me to fill
the office of Minister of Finance, and thus have imposed
upon me duties which, if not superior to my resolution and
goodwill, are most important and difficult in the circum-
stances of the State. I should have sunk under the im-
mensity of the burden had not gratitude for your Ma-
jesty's Royal confidence stimulated me on the one hand,
and the virtues and patriotism of the many eminent and dis-
tinguished individuals who form the ornament and the hope
of Spain, inspired me with courage on the other.
" I then devoted myself with anxiety to the regulation
of the very important affairs, which, connected with the
credit and the well-being of_the neighbouring kingdom, were
placed under my care by the Government of Her Most
Faithful Majesty, and I finally succdeded in settling them,
if not with all the speed I desired, at least with all the
activity possible.
"At last I placed myself on the beloved soil of my
country, and I frankly confess to your Majesty, that for
the first time in the course of a life not used to yield
to fear, or to be overcome by surprise, I acknowledged
to myself that difficulties had increased to such a de-
gree, that all my efforts would not be sufficient to re-
move them. Men of respectability, and of virtue with-
out stain, all who saluted me at my return, earnestly
endeavoured to persuade me that my impressions did not
accord withlpublic opinion, nor with what was expected,
especially from my knowledge, my zeal, and my former
decided attachment to the sacred cause which Spain is now
defending—the cause of the Throne of Isabel 11., and of
the fundamental laws in which alone consists true liberty.
" Kind and well intended this advice might have been,
but the will of your Majesty has triumphed over my fears.
I have heard from your august mouth that it is resolved to
form a Ministry which may satisfy the legitimate desires of
the country, which is anxious that not a moment may be lost
in dictating with ability, and executing' with firmness, all the
measures calculated to calm passions, unite and conciliate
opinions, extinguish discords, and give to the Spanish people
one will—that of saving and rendering happy and power-
ful their native land. The benedictions of the country,
accompanied by tears of joy, will receive these measures
pregnant with happiness, so justly due to the faithful and
magnanimous Spanish nation.
" A compact, strong, homogeneous, and, above all,
a responsible Ministry, being constituted—a Ministry
strengthened by the sympathies and support of the na-
tional representation—the Government of your Majesty
will have .to dedicate simultaneously and indefatigably
its exertions and cares to bring to a speedy and, glorious
end, without any other than national means, that fratri-
cidal war,' the shame and disgrace of the age in which
we live, and depressive of the will of the nation ; to settle
at once, and without degrading them, those religious cor-
porations whose reform they themselves require in ac-
cordance with the public interest ; to commit to wise laws
all the rights which emanate from, and are so to speak, the
sole and steady support of the representative system ; to
re-animate, invigorate, or rather to create and establish the
public credit, the wonderful force and magic power of
which may be studied in prosperous and free England ; in
short, to succeed in reconciling with the prerogatives of the
Crown the rights and duties of the people ; for without
this equilibrium all hope of public felicity is illusive.
" These laws will raise and complete, as I have promised
your Majesty, the majestic edifice of our legal liberties, and
elevate the nation to that degree of glory, greatness, and'
power, which great Britain owes to the principles contained
in her Magna Charta, and her celebrated Bill of Rights.
In this mode alone, Senora, can I acquit myself of the
arduous discharge of the vast obligation I have contracted ;
and merely by all submitting to the sacred empire of the
laws, and by exerting only the efforts sanctioned by them,
we shall very soon be able to exclaim, The country is.
saved, and with it the Throne of Isabel 11. and its legal
guarantees.' _ _

".Sonora, at the Royal feet of your Majesty, with the
greatest respect, your most obedient and faithful servant,

" JUAN ALVAREZ Y MENDIZABAL.
" Madrid, Sept. 14, 1835."

Her Majesty the QUEEN REGENT graciously re
ceived this exposition, and expressed her approba
tion of it.

If any fresh proofs were needed of the determination of
the people to obtain a reform of the House of Lords,
they would be found in the enthusiastic manner in which
Mr. O'CONNELL is every where receivild. Such a
welcome as he has, day by day, experienced during the
last fortnight in Scotland as well as England, is, we
believe, without parallel in the annals of English
history. Vain are all attempts on the part of the Tories
to underrate or deny his popularity. Strive as they may,
they cannot gainsay the fact, that he is at this present
moment the most influential statesman in the empire.
And why is this ? Is it because his manners are con-
ciliatory—his address consummate—his talents various
and all-subduing ? Doubtless this may have something
to do with the matter ; but the main cause of his popularity
is to be found in the undeniable fact of his being the
representative of the great principle of Reform—the
mirror, as it were, in which the popular feeling sees
itself accurately. reflected. It is not his eloquence, but
his sentiments, that touch an answering chord in the
hearts of his hearers. He gives a strict and literal ex-
pression to their own feelings—is the exponent of their
own thoughts. Here lies the secret of his magical
influence, which has already produced a panic among
the Tories, equal to that which they experienced when
the Park cannon thundered in their ears the dissolu-
tion of the last anti-Reform Parliament. We observed
at the time, when the House of Lords were so zealous
in their denunciations against Mr. O'CONNELL, that
the only effect of their Abuse would be to increase his in-
fluence tenfold ; and experience has proved the truth
of our assertions, He is now bringing to bear against
them the very weapons with which they themselves
furnished him. What is the staple of his oratory at
every place which be honours with his presence ?
Why, the expediency of n PTOlllpt 4114 searching re-
form ....,

the moment--the last noisy, capricious shout of an
uneducated and undisciplined rabble ? He must be
blind indeed to the signs of the times who dreams that
it is. What would have been Mr. O'CoNNELL's
influence—what the number (Allis audience, had he,
instead of recommending a Reform of the Upper
House of Legislature, gone about insisting on the ne-
cessity of a.Repeal of the Union ? Would Manches-
ter—Newcastle—Edinburgh—or Glasgow have turned
out their tens and hundreds ofthousands to welcome him
with open arms ? Not a bit of it. Many, no doubt,
would have been attracted by curiosity, or other mo-
tives, to hear him hold forth ; but the majority of
Reformers would have kept coldly aloof. But the
question of a Reform in the House of Lords
is one that comes. home to the hearts of
all ; and it is by his strenuous advocacy
of this measure, and this alone, that Mr. O'CONNELL
is enabled to command the energies, and enlist' the
sympathies of such myriads of the population. We
predict he will soon become as popular in England and
Scotland, as he so deservedly is in Ireland.

France will soon learn that the political apostacy,
hitherto attributed to Louis PHILIPPE, forms but an
atom of the mountain of crime which he is preparing
to perpetrate against the liberties of his deluded sub-
jects. Constitutional Monarchy is not his aim. He
wants to rid himself of every check upon the unre-
strained indulgence of his Royal will. He will be
" every inch a King," or he will be nothing. He
loathes the Charter, and will abolish it, or lose his
crown. He will have no Ministers who will not
act as the passive instruments of his ambition, his
vengeance, or his caprice ; no Chambers, unless the
Members resolve themselves into assemblies of cour-
tiers for appluding his wisdom, voting congratulatory
addresses, and registering his decrees. Are we as-
suming too much ? Let those who so judge, turn to
an article from the Journal de Frankfort of the 17th
instant, inserted in another part of The Sun, which
modestly entreats Louis PHILIPPE to seize the dic-
tatorship of France, and all but engages for him the
support of the Holy Alliance I The King of the
FRENCH has not been idle ; for all that the Frank-
.fort scribe advises has been already resolved upon by
the Emperor of RUSSIA, with the full consent of the
French monarch. The CZAR is to lend him a million
of soldiers—for the word Europe here is but a delicate
substitution for Russia—for the laudable purpose of
purging France I We trust, if Cossack civilization
is to be thus extended to the people of France, that we—
outcasts of the Isles as we are—will be allowed to share
in the imperial bounty. Laws for the defence of pro-
perty imported from the Steppes of Tartary or the
mountains of the Caucasus ; and habits of social in-
tercourse and moral improvement borrowed from
the polished inhabitants of Siberia and Lap-
land, would at least have novelty to recom-
mend them to the aboriginal tribes of Great
Britain and France. The extreme. civilization of the
criminal code recommended to the French Dictator is
peculiarly worthy of notice. All crimes are to be fol-
lowed by decapitation in the rather brief space of
" three days at most," after their commission. The
" off with his head" tribunal is to lose no time in idle
inquiries about the guilt or innocence of the accused.
It is to be assumed sufficient proof that he is found in
custody. There must be no parleying—no squeamish-
ness about the shedding of an occasional drop of inno-
cent blood. The headless trunk must be exposed in
" three days" at the very farthest, for a moment longer
would be fatal to the success of the Dictatorial system.
With regard to the present race of guilty wretches in
France—men who stand convicted of the atro-
cious wickedness of maintaining the inviolability
of the Charter, the Journal de Frankfort, in
the plenitude of its mercy, merely calls for the ba-
nishment of a thousand of them, without trial, to
the desarts of Africa, or the wilds of America I
Would it not be an improvement to banish the
whole of the French people, with the exception of the
present Royal family ? NICHOLAS might easily re-
people the kingdom with his
.Cossacks, and we have
no doubt LOUIS PHILLIPPE would govern them to
the entire satisfaction of the CZAR. We are the more
anxious to recommend this scheme, because without it
be adopted, we doubt much whether Louis PHIL-
LIPPE, with the aid of a million of those models of
civilization, the Russians, will be able to assume the
dictatorship of France. This matter may, perhaps,
have escaped the attention of the Courts of France
and Russia, and if so, we beg to submit it to the grave
consideration of their political secretary, the Editor of
the Journal de Frankfort. As the question is one of
the utmost importance, we will return to it. France,
at least, shall know in what light we view the politir
intrigues of her renegade Sovereign.

He has already been several times examined. The

Advices from Lisbon to the. 15th inst. have been
received. Sir JOHN MILLEY DOYLE has sought
and obtained his dismissal from the Portuguese ser-
vice, in which he held the rank of Major-General.
On the application being made to the Minister of
War, he expressed his deep regret that the QUEEN
was about to be deprived of the services of such a
brave and gallafit officer. It is reasonable to expect
that the QUEEN will honour Sir JOHN M. DOYLE
with some especial mark of her Royal favour before
his departure from Portugal'.

There are some rumours in Lisbon of a probable
change of Ministry, It is said that M. GERVIS
ri'ATcvauta will retire from the Marine department,
and that he will be succeeded by M. FREIRE. These
changes will involve a necessity for others, which may
load to an entire re-construction of the Cabinet.. As
the great bulk of our readers know but little of the
personal history of the Members of the Portuguose
Cabinet, we have pleasnP in submitting to them the
following sketch of the Minister of Marine, which we

copy from the Lisbon correspondent of our contempo-
J'ary the Morning Herald.:—

" The Minister of Marine, Senhor Antonio Aloizio Gervis
d'Atoguia, is the second son of a family of the highest nobility
in the island of Madeira on the maternal side, as well as on the
paternal, his father descending from Earl St. Vincent's family.
He possesses what in Portugal is called the "Foro grande,"
or the title of high nobility, and ranks immediately after the
Titularies, a considerable distinction in a country where the
constitutional system has riot been able to eradicate altogether
the old and deep-rooted morgue aristocratigue of the patrician
order. He was educated in England (at Old Hall Green
College, Hertfordshire), with the sons of the first Catholic
families, and of course speaks the English language fluently.
He afterwards pursued the higher studies at the University of
Coimbra, where, especially devoted to mathematics, he dis-
tinguished himself so much in this science, that after undergo-
ing the test of a public examination and competition, lie was
preferred to the honourable post of Professor of the Marine
Academy in 1822, when the Marquis de Louie, his immediate
predecessor in the Ministry of Marine became his pupil.
About this period he married a lady, who subsequently in-
herited a large fortune. In 1828, during Miguel's usurpation,
he left Portugal, being a most determined partisan of the
Queen and the Constitutional system. During the whole of
the siege of Oporto he served as a Captain of Engineers on
the Emperor's staff, and subsequently on that of Marshal Sal-
danha, was present at all the principal battles and engage-
ments of the late civil war, and received on all occasions praise
for his bravery and intelligence. He was since promoted to
the rank of a Major of Engineers, and elected as one of the
representatives of his native island (Madeira), in the ordinary
Cortes of 1835, and holds, therefore a higher rank in the army
than his quondam scholar and predecessor the Marquis
Louie, who, thousrh only a Captain of cavalry, was
on that account objected to as an inefficient Minister cid Ma-
rine. M. Jervis d'Atoguia proved himself a good, .f
might
almost say, an elegant speaker in the Cortes, thoy.dh, accor-
ding to sober English notions of perfect orattirsi he indulges
somewhat too much in gesticulations, the -aatural consequence
of the vivacity remarkable in native; of southern climes.
When Marshal Saldanha accepted the Embassy to Paris, and
withdrew from the Opposition brnches, his alleged nominee
asserted his independence by Iveeping his seat, by speaking,
acting, and voting with the Opposition, in the foremost ranks
of which I had frequently occasion to see and to describe
him to you, especially in sorne tumultuous Sessions, in one of
which the House broke ty ; and in another, where the grant
of 100 contos to the Duke of Palmella was so sharply con-
tested. Since he has been Minister of Marine he has cleared
his department (the navy) of more Miguelites than any other
Minister has dared to do ; and after such precedents some of
the Ministers, I think, would rather have him fox their col-
league than their opponent."

We are assured that the PortugueF,e Government
has refused to take any part in the settlement of the
disturbances in Spain, unless ar example be set it by
the Cabinets of London and. Paris. Portugal is afraid
of incurring the wrath of the Northern Despots, which
she has no power of "resisting, beyond what she derives
from the closenta of her alliance with England. The
timidity of 1-eortugal is natural ; nor are we surprised
that she, considers it her duty to proceed cautiously,
after witnessing the paltry evasions of England and
Prance with regard to the Quadruple Treaty. We,
however, will not greatly regret the pitiful conduct of
the two Great Powers who signed the Treaty, pro-
vided the Juntas in Spain succeed. in establishing the
Constitution of Cadiz. We would hedge in France
with free institutions, and thus put an effectual check
upon the despotical career of Louis PHILLIPPE.
This would be the severest punishment that could be
inflicted on him for his political apostacy, inasmuch as
it would render his crime a gratuitous display of inno-
cuous rage, and toothless ferocity.

The Portuguese Government is making some splen.
did efforts to advance the education of the people.
The establishment of Normal schools throughout the
provinces is seriously contemplated, and a very con-
siderable share of the public revenue will be devoted
to this laudable purpose.

The marriage of the QUEEN is still spoken of, as
an event which cannot be long delayed. Notlaing
positive, however, is yet known on the subjerJt. In
our opinion, the QUEEN cannot be married, too soon,
as any influence over the royal mind, apart from that
of her Council, must be more injuriolls than that of a
husband. Neither ought it to escape the notice of
Ministers, that rigid celibacy is not among the Catho-
lic virtues, which form the peculiar boast of the illus-
trious House of BRAGANZA. We understand that
her Most Faithful Majesty, DONNA MARIA 11.,
promises, complexionally at least, to inherit a princely
share of the genial warmth of her royal predecessors.

We direct special attention to the report of a Vestry
Meeting in Bungay St. Mary, at which. the Catholic
Minister, the Rev. JOSEPH WILSON, implored the-
members of the Church, for the sake of peace and to
allay irritation, to make a voluntary subscription in-
stead of akhurch Rate, and pledged himself and many
Dissenters, who would follow his example, to subscribe
double the amount of their present assessment. Our
readers will not fail to contrast this with the conduct
of two reverend divines of the Church of England who
were present—one of whom, the Rev. ROBERT COBB,
replied that if the ofP:1 were accepted, it would be
flung in their faces with insult ; and the other, the
Rev. THOMAS BEWICKE, seconded the motion for a
rate. These parsons are resolved to facilitate the
settlement of the question--how long religious intoler-
ance shall be sanctioned by law ?
