The Herald of yesterday, 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 sn"ead 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,
1:epl-, 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 its,4f 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 anything 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
his conscientious conviction—and points to the recent fI
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. SPOONER 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
candidate would have had about as good a chance of
entering St. Stephen's, as Sir J. GRAHAM has of re-
gaining hip long lost popularity. It was the Quaker
" did it all." Our Contemporary goes on to say :
" The tlivi4ons among the Conservative party-are di-
visions consluent upon known and ascertained
strength. le assurance is becoming daily more
and more co, irmed 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-
tuni within their reach." The assertion in

The Adventures of " Martin Cbuzzlewit" having, on each repre-
.entation, been received with every possible mark of public appro-
bation by the most fashionable and crowded audiences, and having
been pronounced by the unanimous voice of the publie press to be
one of the most interesting Dramas ever produced from the works
of its celebrated Author, a repetition of its performance will take
place every evening till further n.tice.

ale all struck with its extraordinary beauty and fidelity of delinea-
tion, and are unanimous in pronouncing it the most wonderfid ex.
bibition ever witnessed. To view it only as a vehicle for the terrific
display at Dusk is unjust ; it should be seen in the calm stillness of
the wet Evening, with its Towers and Steeples reflected in the spa-
cious Lake, to be fully appreciated.

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 PEET. 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,

tbat it is not Whiggism but Toryism that is defunct.

We recur to the debate on the Bank of England
Charter Bill in the House of Lords, last week, with

an increased conviction that it was better calculated

to apprise the public of what may be termed the phi-
losophy of the measure, than any of the discussions
which had preceded it in the House of Commons.

But we must not omit to remark, by the way, that
some of Lord RIPON'S frank admissions as to the past
history of the results of the Bill of 1819 were of an
effect not less fatal to the pretensions of this measure
for its complement, than the more guarded, though not
more convincing, pleas advanced.in its favour by Lord
MONTEAGLE. Let us see what these admissions of
Lord RIPON amount to. " The pressure," said he,
" on the money market in 1825 was the most severe
pressure, he believed, which had ever existed in this
country. Indeed, he believed the effect of that pres-
sure to have been greater than that which occurred
in 1797, previous to the Bank Restriction Act." Now

there is no incident on which Sir ROBERT PEEL, is so
fond of playing his battery of small common-places
of " fatal measures," " ill-advised expedients," "de-
plorable resolution," &c., as this Bank Restriction
Act. There is no topic but this upon will hhe permits
himself to speak with flippant disparagement of his
great master, Mr. PITT. Let any man ; -It recur to
