at the late election for Dublin must have been erro-

neous: --

" Np peer hath a right to vote at the election of any Mem-
ber to serve in Parliament." Resolved nem. con. 14 Dec.,
1669 ; ditto 13 Feb., 1700 ; 24 Oct., 1702.
Resolved—" That no peer of this realm, except such peer
of that part of the United Kingdom called Ireland, as shall
for the time being be actually elected, and shall not have de-
clined to serve for any county, city, or borough of Great Bri-
tain, hath any right to give his vote in the election of any
member to serve in parliament."
Much Tory wrath was expended upon Mr. Cows
for objecting to Sir ROBERT PEEL'S vote at the late
election for North Warwickshire, on the mere ground
that the Right Hon. Bart. was a Minister of State.
A resolution, forbidding all interference by servants of
the Crown, was passed by the House of Commons in
Dec. 1779. This resolution states, " That it is
highly criminal in any minister or ministers, or other
servants under the Crown of Great Britain, directly or
indirectly, to use the powers of office in the election of
Representatives in Parliament, and an attempt at such
influence will, at all times, be resented by this House,
as aimed at its honour, dignity, and independency, as
an infringement of the dearest rights of every subject
throughout the empire, and tending to sap the basis
of this free and happy constitution." We are
decidedly of opinion that Sir Robert PEEL, in voting at
the. Warwickshire election, transgressed the spirit, if

not the very letter of this resolution. He " indirectly '
used the powers of office in the election of Representa-
tives to serve in Parliament," when he came forward,
clothed with all the power of the Crown, and, by his
vote, publicly proclaimed that the election of cer-
tain Members would be agreeable to the Go-
vernment, he could not, in fact, have adopted
a more effectual method to influence the electors
who had not then voted ; and therefore we must
say that, in our opinion, the proceeding waf.- not only
highly indecorous, inasmuch as he could not fail to be
biassed himself, but also liable to 'the severest censure
and condemnation, as his example could not fail to
bias others.

Rumours are daily gaining strength and confidence,
that the Government already begins to dread an oppo-
sition more alarming than that of the Reformers in the
Lower House. A certain High Personage, who
pretty well knows how to estimate the real feelings of
the people, arid what discount ought to be allowed for
Tory influences, is represented by those whose oppor-
tunities give them the weight of authority, to make no
secret of his surprise at the result of the late elections,
nor of displeasure at the false prophets who so confi-
dently foretold a re-action in the public mind.
With the certainty before them of being as suddenly
dismissed from office as their predecessors were, the
PEEL-WELLINGTON Cabinet can scarcely sleep on
unruffled pillows. They wanted office, and they have
got it ; but the keeping.—" there's the rub." It is not
improbable that the KING will take his cue from the
Conduct of the Opposition. If the resistance to the
Government be firm and vigorous, there is every pro-
spect of an instant release from Tory thraldom, and of

the utter and final overthrow of the party. No incite-
ments are wanting to union and energy among the
Reformers in the Commons, if they mean what they
have said. Let them be but single-minded and reso-
lute, and a lasting triumph will be ours.

It cannot have escaped our readers that in the plan
of Church Reform promulgated by the Tory Admi-
nistration, there is no mention of tithes. Church
abuses are, we are told, to be corrected ; yet the chief
abuse, the master grievance, is left untouched and
unnoticed. The professed object of the proposed
changes in the constitution of the Church is to increase
the usefulness of the Clergy. Now every person who
entertains just notions of the pastoral office, and who
knows any thing of the working of the tithe system, must,
we think, be convinced that the object aimed at cannot
be attained by those changes, nor by any changes that
can be made, while that system remains on its present
footing. We may go still farther, and state our belief that
the legitimate and beneficial influence of the clergy will

be greatly diminished, if the intended plan be carried into
effect, without the abolition of tithe, at least in its pre-
sent form. A tax-gatherer is always an unpopular
character ; in the nature of things, it cannot well be
otherwise. How, then, can it be expected that the
collector of the most odious and obnoxious of all im-
posts should be the object of peculiar affection and re-
verence ? Under the present state of things—and
bad enough, God knows, that state is—the conscien-
tious curate never fails to secure the respect and re-
gard of those to whom he ministers in holy things ;
and although discredit is thrown upon religion by the
scandalous conduct of the (so called) minister of
the Gospel, who forsakes his flock, and performs, by
a substitute, the duties of an office which is, in its
very nature, strictly personal, and therefore inalienable ;
yet the greater evil is avoided, which would arise if
the inhabitants of a parish were compelled to receive
the ministrations of religion from a man, who appears
to them, whether justly or not, in the light of a sor-
did exactor. With what profit can a farmer listen on
a Sunday to a lecture against worldly-mindedness,
from the lips of one who has, during the previous
week, been sweeping his corn fields, rummaging his
cow-house and pig-sties, and clearing his hen-roosts ?
Such occupations are not only degrading, but neces-
sarily invidious. It is in vain to say that the clergy-
man is only claiming that which the law allows
him. We may admit this, and also that he often
claims less than the law allows him. Still no law or power
on earth will ever persuade a farmer that any person
can have a right to deprive him of the hard earned fruits
of his industry. The tithe-payer may be wrong—he
may be under the influence of prejudice. It matters
not—the prejudice is universal and indestructible, and
must, wherever it comes into active operation, strike
at the very root of clerical usefulness. That useful-
ness is founded on opinion. Unless love, esteem,
and confidence be won by the man, the minister may
preach with the tongue of an angel,—he will never
be useful. He will be but "as sounding brass, and a
tinkling cymbal."

Canton papers from the Ist of July to the 23d of
August have been received, which confirm the state-
ment which appeared in The Sun of Saturday relative
to the stoppage of the trade with China. This strange
and unexpected event, the consequences of which it is
impossible to ascertain, arose entirely out of the absurd
conduct of Lord NAPIER, the Superintendent ap-
pointed by the late Government for seeing the orders
in Council for the opening of the tea trade carried
into
operation. The opponents of the free trade sys-
tem are, we perceive, endeavouring to make it believed,
that the apparent rupture, between this country and the
Celestial Empire, originated in the inability of the Hong
merchants at Canton to comprehend the import of
the new Orders in Council. Now, this is directly
contrary to the truth. The whole grounds of our pre-
