with setting fire to his house in Argyll-street, for the
purpose of getting the insurance money. Mr.
WODEHOUSE offered the most ample apology for the
insinuations which he had thrown out against Mr.
WAKLEY.
Sir ROBERT PEEL made a few remarks highly
honourable to his character, which, in private life, all
admit to be a model for his countrymen. The Hon.
Member for Finsbury, he said, might retire from the
House that night with the understanding that com-
plete reparation had been made to his feelings, and
that he could carry his head as erect as any man
breathing. This was received with loud cheers from
all parts of the House.
Mr. WAIELEY acknowledged in feeling terms the
tribute which had been paid to his innocence, and
we hope this decided expression of public feeling will
put the vile calumny for ever at rest.
After some questions put to the Government, and
explanations between Mr. T. DUNCOMBE and Lord
A. LENrrox, in reference to the Horse-racing Bill,
which are given sufficiently brief in the Parliamen-
tary report, Mr. WYSE moved for a Select Commit-
tee to inquire into the facts connected with the for-
mation of the special jury in the case of the QUEEN
v. DANIEL O'Comarz and others.

The Herald of this morning, in an article full of
paradoxes, makes the luminous discovery that Con-
servatism is everywhere rapidly on the increase.
" The spread and growth of Conservative principles,"
says our sanguine Contemporary, " at the present
moment are really wonderful. The advance becomes
even visibly apparent from month to month." The
Herald must have wonderful optics to be able to see
what is "visibly apparent" to no one else in the com-
munity. Where are the signs and tokens of
the rapid spread of Conservatism? Assuredly they
are not to be found in the House of Commons,
where the regular working PEEL majority is, if any-
thing, rather on the decline than on the increase, or
at any rate stationary ; and where the party itself is
filled with doubts and distrusts, distracted with feuds,
kept together with difficulty, and as splenetic and
hypochondriacal as a rheumatic old woman in a No-
vember fog. If we look without the walls of that
eccentric assembly which—by way of a joke, we pre-
sume—calls itself a national Senate, still less shall
we find any indications of the spread of Conservative
principle, The people appear to be everywhere le-
thargic, if not absolutely indifferent,' except, perhaps,
in the manufacturing districts, where the general
feeling is certainly anythiny but Ministerial. We
might even extend this exception to the agricultural
counties, for no one can deny that, torpid as is the
public feeling there, opinion runs by no means so
strongly in favour of the Conservative Cabinet as it
did when this notable Junta first entered into office.
Too liberal for the agriculturists, and not liberal
enough for the manufacturers, Ministers are deci-
dedly strong nowhere but in the house of Commons ;
and even now, notwithstanding present appearances
are in their favour, no one can calculate on the
continuance of their power, for a very evident
spirit of uneasiness pervades Parliament that in-
dicates anything but a settled state of the political
atmosphere. But our Contemporary is quite satis-
fied of the truth of his assertion—we wish him joy of
ais conscientious conviction—and points to the recent
election at Birmingham as a proof that Conservatism
is rapidly on the increase. It is singular how this
great town rises and falls in the estimation of our
Tory journalists just according to the representatives
it sends to Parliament. When Birmingham returned
a Liberal, then it was a place whose political influ- '
ence was of no moment whatever; but now that
it has returned a Tory, the Herald suddenly discovers
that the weight of its authority is great, and points
to its choice of Mr. SroolsEa as one of the most
striking signs of the times. Now every one knows
the means by which this gentleman's election was
secured. It was not the increased strength of Con-
servative principles that enabled him to defeat Mr.
SCHOLEFIELD, but the disastrous split amongst the
Liberals. Had Mr. STURGE not come forward, as
he unquestionably ought not to have done, the Tory
eandidate would have had about as good a chance of
entering St. Stephen's, as Sir J. GRAHAM has of re-
gaining his long lost popularity. It was the Quaker
" did it all." Our Contemporary goes on to say :
" The divisions among the Conservative party are di-
visions consequent upon known and ascertained
strength. The assurance is becoming daily more
and more confirmed that there is little to fear from
the opponents of Conservative principles, and that the
Whigs are defunct and unable to resume the ma-
nagement of affairs, even were the most extraordi-
nary concurrence of events to place the oppor-
tunity within their reach." The assertion in
the above passage, that divisions among a poli-
tical party are manifestations rather of its strength
than its weakness, is one of the most preposterous
paradoxes we ever remember to have met with. But
though the Herald may be of opinion that Conserva-
tive disunion is a proof of Conservative strength, not
so thinks Sir ROBERT PEEL; he has no faith in our
Contemporary's parodox ; he derives no comfort from
the fact that his supporters are split into sec-
tions, and are quarrelling among each other,
like cat and dog; but laments it as a most "un-
toward" circumstance, and from time to time
delivers, in his perplexity, long and confused political
homilies on the subject, seasoned with menaces, not
unmixed with supplications. As regards the Herald's
sneer, that the " Whigs are defunct," our reply is,
that now more than ever are Whig principles in the
ascendant. Indeed whatever good there may be
in the PEEL Cabinet, is solely attributable
to its adoption of these principles. Its tariff,
for which it takes so much credit to itself,
is a Whig principle—its free-trade tendency is a
Whig principle—its new-born toleration in religious
matters is a Whig principle—its concession of a
Post-office Committee, in deference to the just
wishes of the people, is a Whig principle—in fact,
it is on Whig principles that it conducts public
affairs, knowing well, from humiliating experience,
that it is not Whiggism but Toryism that is defunct.

It is impossible to deny that the House of Lords
generally contrive to infuse into their discussions of
economic and commercial questions which have al-
ready occupied much of the attention of the House
of Commons, ,a larger amount of sound sense and
average information than has been brought to hear
upon them in the more popular assembly. We
venture merely to note this fact. To others we must
leave its explanation. Whether this is to be found
in the circumstance that the speakers among the
Peers are fewer, and, for the most part, those who
have been elevated to their distinguished rank
by the influence of their own superior ability or
knowledge, or conduct in the professions they have
adopted at the commencement of their public career,
we by no means take upon ourselves to determine.
