SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS

The Tory Peers and Sir Robert Peel are at last in cu-
rious collision. Our readers will peruse with deep interest
the report of the proceedings in the Lords on Saturday

evening,. The Upper House seems bent on pulling down

the pillars of the Temple The insane exhibition of the
Cadist advocates of the Feudal Corporations is without its
partglel. We never doubted, when the Counsel were
named, that they were admirably suited to their Noble
•Judges. It is not very probable that Sir Charles Wethe-
rell, however fanatic, or Mr. Knight, however ignorant and
unenlightened, would elect any course of advocacy incon-
sistent with the, opinions and spirit of the Tory Lords.
Accordingly they went " the whole hog," and unhesitatingly
denounced the very principle of Municipal Reform. If
the Peers were not encrusted with prejudices, and blind to
public opinion, they could not have brooked the insult of
such addresses as those of Sir Charles Wetherell and Mr.

Knight. We know not a more humiliating spectacle than
that just concluded in the Peers. The effect of the
exhibition will be to fill the people with despair.
They will become satisfied that it i 3 van to hope fer
anj7 results from the amendment of the represen-
tation so victoriously achieved in 1832. The Reform
Bills are practically nullified, and for tl:va years
the country has now seen the • hereditary branch
of the Legislature obstinately oppose itself to the will of
the nation. Twenty-seven Bishops and a roll of Temror,l
Peers, beginning with " his Royal Highness Ernest
Augustus, Duke of Cumberland and Tiviotdale," and end-
with Alexander Baring Lord Ashburton, present but a
gl46iiy-prospect to tlae Reformers. Wo now tenfess• that
we hope nothing from the hereditary Legislators. Tlie
events of this week demonstrate the incurableness of their
political disease. A century of Tory misrule has created
an artificial majority of Tory aristocracy—the House of
Lords—which no liberal Ministry can "constitutionally"
overcome. While the people are growing in knowledge
and liberal principles, the Peers are progressively retro-
grading. There is no communion of principle or interest
between the Commons and the Lords. Every year
separates them Arther from each other. If the posi-
tion of Sir Robert Peel, on whom the Tory Party is solely
dependent, will,not force them to reason and show them
their true interest, what rational expectation can exist of
their political ;Conversion ? If the notorious abuses and
defects in our municipal system, have not couched the
eyes*Of the blinded Peers, what can restore their political
sight? If the voice of the people does not penetrate their
deafness, wbat sound can reach their ears ? The Reformer's
could not anticipate any.opposition to the Ministerial Bill
of Reform, except in the details of the measure and the
" amendments" proposed in the Commons by Sir Robert
Peel, But now the nation is insulted by declamatory ha..
rangues on 'the " republican"
.and " revolutionary" nature
of the Bill., All sober discussion of the principles and ob-
jeess,of municipal institutions is despised, and personal abuse
of the Commissioners, and petty issues on minor points of evi-
dence, are substituted for grave controversy on debateable sub-
jectsof political sciencs. We believe that two-thirds of the Com-
missioners called to the Bar of the House, in vindication of
their reports, would demolish the arguments of the misera-
ble professional sophists, who have thus dared to -outrage
the common sense of the Legislature. We do not doubt.
:that their oratorical rhapsodies, when fully reported, will
be analysed and extinguished by enlightened politicians,
who can and will expose them to public scorn and derision.
Do these Tory mountebanks and their admiring " noble"
'audience really believe that the unenfranchised inhabitants
of the Corporate towns will treat otherwise than with pro-
found contempt their " Conservative," orations ? Are the
people blind to the sinister interest of the Aristocracy in
the perpetuation of the self-elect, and the maintenance of
the evils, of the existing Municipal system ? We have
prepared a history of nearly a hundred Peers " work-
ing" Corporations, and steeped in municipal abuses. The
pressure of other matter delays its publication to-
day. When exposed to the nation, it will form an irre-
sistible demonstration of the motives of the Tory Peers.
They are not ignorant of the scandal and defects of our
municipal institutions ; they are interested in their continu-
ance, and we tear the mask from their faces. They call
for " evidence" to confirm the Reports. Are the Peers,
selves-not living witnesses of their own acts? Know
dVes- not that high stewards, recorders, and noble' corpora- -
tors, borough patrons who have survived the Reform Acts,
bribers of freemen, and intimidators of electors, are profit-
able " workers" in the municipal system ? Do they not
dread the full and flee representation of the people ? Is
not the vox populi he infernal machine which haunts their
affrighted imaginations ? They call for " evidence." Was not
the inquiry public? Do they not know that the constitution cf
our municipal local governments is radically defective—
that self-nomination is a usurpation of the elective rights of
the inhabitants of the corport.te towns—that the secresy
of municipal proceedings is scripture light under
the - bushel—that " bye laws " are the ordinances
of irresponsible governors—that the monstrous anomalies
of the civic and criminal jurisdictions are ripe for the sickle
of reformation—that periodical re-election is the only secu-
rity of representative responsibility—that the majority of
the life-holding Corporators are offensive to the indignant
municipal communities ? They call for " evidence." Are
not the Reports of the Commissioners ample proof of the
crying necessity of reform ? Is there a single corporate
town in which a verbatim report of the inquiry and evi-
dence has not been printed and published. Let the Liver-
pool Town-Clerk answer, in an extract from 74 quarto
printed pages of Report of the Liverpool inquiry now be-
fore us _ _ _

" The Town-clerk begged to express his personal sense of the
uniform kindness he had received from the Court. He had ful-
filled his pledge of communicating all NS ithin his power.—( Ap-
plause.) The Common Council had nothing now, nor within
the last hundred years, which they could wish to conceal ; and
after an investigation, unexampled in importance and duration, they
came out of the trial without stain.—( Cheers. )
Nor was this eulogium the only charactor of the Commis-
sioners—the Reformers of Liverpool verified the praise—
" Mr. Radcliffe now said we have nothing more to do than to
thank the Commissioners for the patience, impartiality, and cour-
tesy with which they have conducted this inquiry.
" Mr. Rathbone and Mr. Thornley expressed their sense of the
impartial and courteous manner in which the inquiry had been con-
ducted.

" Mr. Radcliffe rendered his warmest acknowledgments to the
Commissioners for their uniform kindness to himself.

" Mr. Bolton said—Future Commissioners will do well to make
your conduct their example."—( Applause. )
Such is a sample of nearly every public inquiry. We
ask the Lords if they need " evidence" on the integrity
of the Reports, to examine themselves, and to call the
Town-Clerks to the bar ; their language and physiogno-
mies would sufficiently prove the preamble of the Bill.
How long is this mummery to last ? To-day will dis-
close their intentions. We trust that the Lords will
in time see the critical nature of their position, or the
peril to which the British Constitution is exposed !
.1713 tee hundred and ninety hereditary lay Peers, and
thirty spiritual Lords, cannot cheat the British na-
tion out of Municipal Reform. If the moderate Tory
Peers abandon themselves to the Anti-Catholic Lords of
1829, their " Order" is condemned. Sir Robert Peel
then became a convert to the Catholic Emancipation, as he
lias since become a proselyte to the Corporation Reform.
The Duke of Wellington and the Right Hon. Conformer
again discovered their political errors when they yielded
Parliamentary Reform in 1832 to the demands of an
united people ; and unless we mistake much, public
opinion will once more echo in the Painted Chamber of
the misdirected Peers. Can those Legislators be safe
who put their trust in such guides as Mr. Knight and Sir
Charles Wetherell? The Lords ought to be told that the
Commons will not receive a mutilated Bill, and that they
would rather see it rejected than deprived of all which
would render it of any value.—Morning chronicle.
Of the Irish Corporations generally, as they have hitherto
existed, a good deal more evil might be spoken, and we be-
lieve with truth, than of the worst of the English. The
necessity for some powerful measure of reform in the case
of those L•ish municipal bodies might be urged with an ap-
pearance of justice less open to suspicion, and more satis-
factory to honest men of all classes in politics, than has ever
yet attended it in relation to English corporate abuse. As
few have blamed the Whig Administration for its readiness
to deal with the malpractices of our corporators here, how-
ever severely the details of their remedial measure may
have been canvassed, so there is no man of common in-
tegrity who wishes, and none with the least regard to
common decency who will dare, to assert that the Cor-
porations of Ireland have been conducted by persons who
carried about them the slightest sense of either. To the
English vices of misapplied political patronage and
power, and the diversion of funds, whether charitable
or otherwise, to purposes wherein the local community
had small or inadequate concern, there must be added
throughout almost the whole of Ireland, that of having
treated mere political delinquency as a foible too insipid
for the palate of her chartered criminals, and haying la i,(l
fast hold of money wherever it ptild 11P 4:tlized upon, for
likes wherein the public had no concern at all, but which
ministered exclusively to the personal wants of powerful
individuals and their iremc4iMi furailiem.
