(FROM Xlft MORNING CHR0141C1,13.)

The Duke Of Wellington must himself be egonished at
the numberless perfections the Treassary tribes discover in
bins every day. Though by too means diffident, it ap-
pears, that he did entertain some doubts of his oratorical
powers. But great must be his joy, as well as surprise,
to find that his eloquence is matchless—is just that Species
of eloquence which a Minister ought to posses!. the
!speech of the Duke of Wellington (on rridq night) says
the Standard, is a model in that highest order of do-
%inure which produces more than the effect of the utmost
labour and ornament by spurning the aid of both."--
Tly,re now,--the Duke is a greater orator than Mr. Pitt
br Mr. Burke; for their stile is very different from that of
his Graee, ivhile his speech is a model in the highest order
of eloquence. How Heaven has lavished its bounties on
this wonderful man ! And to think too, if be had not
been Premier-he might hive gone to the grave without any
onnever suspecting him of being the Coryphteus of ora-
tors! That abience of ornament would have run some
risk of being teemed baldness. All this is the more un-
' aebousitable, 'seeing, as Mr. Peel has observed, he re-
sembles- Charlemagne and some other great warrior% in
being iath;r on indifferent writer. The Marshal Saxe is
supposed sieves to have spelt one word correctly in the
whole course of his life.. But his Grate is saidito:be passable
at spelling.. We expect this day to have an oration from
his Grace., ti such superlative excellence, as absolutely to
convultamy contemporary.

4,:ritoM Tat MORNING cisaoNicLE OF 5AtuRbAl:.)
Marquis of Londonderry threw some light last night
oti the source of the very extraordiriaryWarmth with arbich
he headed the opposition to Mr. Canning's Ministry.:
" There are individeds around me (said the Noble
Mar-
quis), who have trzeived• pensions for their services..
tieveral Noble Lords had received pensions for diplomatic
services. I, however, am one individual to whom the late
Right Hem Gentleman (Mr. Canning), out of -persor.al
hostility, did not choose to award the same pension, though
I have the same claim as other, Noble Lords." Mr. Can-
ning was chargeable in-the.tyeA of the Noble Marquis with
two Weighty offenmthe refusing him his pension, snd
• the bigning of a Tieaty which might perhaps lead to an
- event at which humanity shudders, the destructiOn ...of the
Ottoman Empire. Mr. Canning the noble Marquis sus-
pected of being the author of the well-known words cha:'ac-
terising his &mend, " this is too bad." But how much
more enlarged are the Noble Marquis's views as to the dis-
rose. lof public: money. - The Noble Marquis disapproved
of the policy of Mr. Canning, the foe of our ancient
ally the Turks; be and his friends who. have now re-
tired " were a political inettbu.! pressing on the Cabinet,"
who aimed " after a fsreign perfection,"—that iF, we

—refused his Lordship his pension because he thought him
undeserving of it. But here, with alt the humility which
is demanded. froin us, in ad/68411g one whO, like Crsar,
is at once hero; historian, and orator, we would Lint that

we arc a little at a loss to discover the principle on which
his. Lordship makes a merit of voting iur the pension to Mr.
Canning's' family. He lays it down that pensions should
never be refused. Surely then, Mr. Canning's atting en.
the bad principle that pensions ought occasionally to be re-
fused, when to demand theta is too bad, would not justify
his Lordship in departing from his own principle, which is
never to refuse them. If he had been called on to violate
his prlnciplesi far the sake Of Mr. Canning's family, then he
'night hive taken credit for the strain of his tonscienca.
kloweVer, it turned out after all, that Mr. Canning was not
- the author of the unkind cut; but Lord Liverpool. This
was stated by Lord Dudley and by Lord Goderich. " I
• will tell youe 'Lordship," said the latter, " and I will tell
' it with confidence, that with the refusal (of the pension) Mr.
Canning had nothing whatever to do. The application was
tirade to Lord Liverpool,and I %nett/Ith him at the time, and the
letters ';vere shown to me. The Noble Marquis claimed
leis, pension on the ground of right, but Lord Liverpool
held that he had no right in that opinion I fully concur-
red." Mr. Canning, it Seems, distrusted his' own judg-
ment in the case, and committed the decision of it to Lord
. Liverpool, 'the Noble Marquis's friend. How the Noble
Marquis must have stared when Lord Dudley observed,
• " I might appeal even to political enemies of my late Right
Hon. Friend ; and I am sure, with one single exception—
(cheers)—there is not one of them who supposes him
capable of doing so base 'a thing, from so base a mo-
- rive; and in so base a manner. That my, late Right
Hon. Friend had strong feelings, like all men of talents,
knd that be might have strong resentments, I will not deny
—but that be felt any such resentment towards the Noble
Marquis I do net know ; but I can assure him, if the Right
Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Canning) had such feelings—if he
did entertain such an hostility, he would have shewn it in
another and very- different shape—(eheers)—and not by
refusing a pension of 2,0001. a year to the possessor of two
• wst estates--(cheers)." What ! the grant of a pen-
sion a punishment? This is an idea that we dare
to say never once entered into the head of the Noble
Marquis, and_ never will. He derived-his --paticiplea
from another school--a school, of which the grand maxim
is, the more a man has the more he has a right to have,
• 'foal that it is precisely because the Aristocracy possesses
overgrown estates, the public money ought exclusively to
be lavished on them... It is the pride of tl.e ample of Eng-
land, that the money wrung from them in taxes and ma_
nopolies goes to Swell the large incomes of their Aristo-
cracy. Lord Redesdale told us one day; that the people
tiagland estimate the merits of, the Bench of
~said a
Quarter
.essions by the thousands a- i
year on t. .g see,
Yorkshire yeoman, one day, with exultation, " there are
two hundred thousand a-year on that Bench." Two
additional thousands a-year would, on this principle,
raise the Merit of the Durham Sessions in the eyes of the
people: , The splendour of the Crown, the politicians tell
na, is for the good of the subject; on the same principle,
the splendour of the 'Aristocracy is for the good of the
pcople ; and. two thousand pounds' worth of additional
splendour conferred on Lord Londonderry would be se
much additional good to the nation. We trust, if we may
not strive after " foreign perfection;" foreign nations will
at all events profit by the elevation of purpose so'conspi-
' cuotis in nitr hereditary legislators. Think only of the
virtue of two thousand pounds a,year ! Had that sum
'only found its way- into the packets of the Noble Marquis,
we should not have Witnessed his fierce and furious oppO-
:sitiera to Mr. Canning's Administration; and instead of
lamenting the fate of the Turks, he might have been cheer
ingot their enemies. Let no man think little of 2,000/.
a-year, when be sees of what importance it is in the highest
'assembly of the nation !
Astell, in a'discussion, last night, on the subject of
the Maryala-honne Select Vestry Alteration Bill, observed,.
" that the Bill went to overthrew the vested rights of the
higher 'dams of the inhabitants." These vested rights are
a power of imposing taxes ad libitum on all the house-
holders in the parish; of expending these taxes in any way
they please, borrowing money to an amount, which would
involve one-haltOf the kingdoms of Europe in national
bankruptcy, aid auditing and passing' their own accounts.
These are vested rights worth struggling for. The fortis-

mate individuals who lave ails unlimited power of taking,
'expending, borrowing,' &c. &e., are placed in the comfort-
able situation of having nothing to dread froM intrusion,
far they elect themselves—the temie of election of all others
the most convenient, ttbd the least likely to give occasion
to any ditsttnbince. This iS not a country in which inich
valv.a4lt vested rights will be suifered to reteritl iniprofited

(ran'. THE MOANING ADVCRTISY,L)

We copy the following article from the Sunday Herala—
a paper--whatever may be its merits—which is always
foremost in intelligence We have often called on the
Licensed Victuallers to unite in defence of their property,
but we have mild- in vain ; and such an invasion of it is
now attempted, and we fear will be consummated, in: con-
sequence of their apathy, before they can possibly step for-
ward to prevent it, as will depreciate their property at least
75 per cent. We allude to a clause in the Bill which
passed the House of Commons in the course of last week.
and has already been twice read in the Lords, to empowe r
Magistrates to grant Licenses to houses which had been
kept as hotels since the beginning of the present year. The
original meaning of this Bill, we are confidently informed,
has been departed from, and instead of the hotels alluded to
only being licensed, the same privilege is, by a clause sur-
reptitiously and silently inserted, made to extend to all
houses of entertainment! In other words, wine-rooms,
oyster-rooing, brothels, may now be licensed, the whole
trade thrown open, and the property of the Licensed Vic-
tuallers completely ruined ! Such is the fact. We have
done our duty in mentioning it ; but it remains with
others to take the necessary steps for preventino. the Bill
from passing into a law. There is still time to do so, and
We *mild press it on the attention of the Licensed Victual-
lers not to allow one moment of it to pass without taking
the necessary steps." We can onli add to this statement
that there is every reason to believe it true in all its 'lard-
Culars: fa& means kii-altaying We'
fears, or stimulating the exertions of our friends ; and to-
morrow they may expect to find in our columns either a
confirmation or a denial of the intelligence.
(FROM THE NEW TIMES.)

Among the Parliamentary arrangements for the press, or
rather want of arrangements, we have more than once
found it necessary to notice those adopted in the House of
Lords, where the Reporters are indiscriminately mixed up
with, and squeezed and jostled by, the throng of idle spec-
tators, who on. an evening of importance are always found
below their Lordships' bar. On a late occasion we were
gratified to find the spirit of accommodation to the only
strangers that require or merit their Lordships' attention
(for without them, the public would be but little influenced
by their deliberations), manifesting itself by setting apart
the interior passage for the keporters ; but scarcely had
we congratulat4 ourselves on this courteous treatment,
when the favour was revoked. We have heard that it was
revoked at the instance of a Whig leader. It is hardly
necessary to do more than mention such a fact. The Noble
Earl never was accused of any act whereby his name
might be held in remembrance for an hour • and he does
well thus to repay those to whose agency he it indebted
for all the fame he is likely to possess—the fame of having
'pronounced a few tolerable tmeeches in a bad Cause. All
we mean at present to notice is, a new regulation, which
it has been announced is to be adopted this evening, when
more that' perhaps on anyformer occasion, it is necessary
that, if possible, every word that shall be uttered should
be faithfully rehearsed. One reporter only, from each esta,
blishment, is to he SA: flitted at a time. By which very in-
genieus expedient, a l4yse of five minutes must necessarily
"occur every three quarters of an hour. during the debate,
'or rather, we should say, no part of it after the first three
quarters can be reported at all. For, let it be observed,
that the'first gentleman who goes in will, in that case, be
the only one who can procure a station where be can either
'see or hear, and if his eolleaeue be not at hand to seize
his place the instant he quits it, another will. We -could
indeed send in the whole of our establishment by Peers'

Mr. Canning's meritorious services, and their belief of his

were meritorious, or whether he was full of zeal and inte-

cuss ; but it is clear that if those Noble Lords who, dur-
Mg the life-time of Mr. Canning; - incetoantireipressed

have objected to a gracious desire en the psrt of the

supporting a title with which his Majesty had been pleased
to dignify it. This, however, would not quite answer the
purpose—a lasting testimony of merit and virtue was to be
left in the archives of Parliament, and the Bill was so
drawn to include the eulogiun-i ; the consequence is, that

to his astonishment, that the letter containing this sentence
was considered as a resignation, and had already been laid
before the King. In no other light would the Duke of
Wellington view it, in spite of Mr. Huskisson's repeated ex-
planations that he only meant to disembarrass his Grace in
any steps he might feel himself called upon to take. The
Duke persisted : "it was no mistake--coithl be no mistake

obliged to go. The master sometimes will take the ser-
