SPIRII OF THIS: PUBLIC ,JOURNALS.

The lengthened and, we trust, accurate and satis-
factory Report which we have given of the cere-
mony of laying the foundation stone of the License
Victuallers' Asylum, and of the social entertainment
which folloWed it, preelude us from indulging in
those remarks which the • invaluable nature of the
Institution, and the liberality and benevolent feel-
ings of the donors, would naturally suggest. We
must refer our readers to the report itself for infor-
mation of the .particulars, and content ourselves
with observing, that we have seldom been present at
a more gratifying scene than that which was yester-
day presented. The Duke of Sussex was unfor-
tunately unable to preside at the diAner, though ex-
tremely anxious to do so, in consequence of the
state of his health; but his place was ably supplied
by Mr. Barclay, and the Meeting
:exhibited through-
-out-- a decree of • decorum, unanimity, and good
feeling which has seldom been equalled, and, we
Lae confident, never surpassed. .To the kind atten-
tion of Mr. Hobbouse, Mr. Ramsbottom, and
others, in giving their attendance-not to speak of
their donations—the Licensed Victuallers are deeply
indebted. Their presence, and.- the deep interest
which an of them manifested in the prosperity of the
Institution, must be productive of the happiest ef-
frets. The Secretary's Report will furnish our
_readers wit the state of the funds belonging to the
Asylum, anti liberal as the subscriptions have been,
we Must again press upon all of them who have not
hitherto contributed their mite, to do so with-
out delay. The sums subscribed yesterday
amounted to not less then 7501., among which
it would be most ungenerous not to point
out to the partieular attention of our readers
the munificent annual-donation*of Fifty 'Pounds from
thh Proprietors of the ,SBl4.Newatinper. It is not,
perhape, every: Newspaper which is so circum-
stanced. in every respect as to be able.to follow the
laudable example which the spirited Proprietors of
the Sun have thus given ; belt there is, at the same
time, no Loopyuf men to whom the Press generally
is more indebted than the Licensed Victuallers, and
'we therefore trust, that its cotemporaries will not
be slow in manifesting their inclination to promote
the came of charity.. The numbers and influence
of the Licensed Victuallers furnish a sufficient
guarantee that the donation will not be thrown
away.--MorNing Advertiser.
The line is now-itoore distinctly drawn than ever, be-•
tween the Tory faction and the bulk of the English nit..
tine. When Mr. Ginning formed his Cabinet, the great
ruajority of enlightened men theoughoot Great Britain
saw; that in the head of the Government, wad in the
larger portion of its members, they themselves; and their
principles,. and sentiments—their contempt tbr the arts
and resources of corruption—their conceieusness of the
existence of gross abuse, and zeal for practical reform—
their devotion to liberty, commercial, civil, and religious--
their fears of the oligarchy, and respect for the people—that
all these were• fairly represented- in the Cabinet com-
posed by Mx.-,Canning, and'a signal triumph was that day;
gained for England, had the snn not set too
The beauty of such an order of things was this—that
there would. have been _powerful Government,
be-
cause there was a confiding nation, .to all the best
ends of confidence and power. Suds Gevernment
needed not the. arts of, corruption, nor. the arra of coer-
cion to sustairilt. The Means *Whereby an odious: M-
nt;nistration buys majorities within doors and bUlliett then' I
without, were at once abandoned by the Minister, whose
first projected step towards reform was the appointment of`'
a Finance CoMmittee with an unlimited range of research
into *all theeliannels national expenditure, and of ob-
jection to every superfluity of eetablialitneat, military;
coMtly; or civil. Now we presume that'ertn the Toriettj
will acknowledge, from the very accusations they
brought against a liberal Ministry, their Own powetto lie
raised ou a substratum dirsotly opposite in its. nature to
that which upheld Mr. Canning, They are lovers ofradli;
as weighed against merit. They airs haters of change of
every description, except the change frombad IS worse,
tvlin.:ll is sooner or later introduced by time into every piece
Dittman Workmanship. They love raonetwiyisa all its
thinee,„ because their:WU existence, as a rich, proud, and
Privileged order, is itself the parent monopoly of the state,
The right of food, the right of trade, the right of law-making,
the right of cabinet-making, die right of conscience--all
these are derivative and descendant inonoelet ; for and in
behalf of which the possessors of the great Lligerehleal
patent are jealous, as beg its out-works. To strAarilJt,
exercising power for total: selfish ends, and sympathising
nu faintly with the rest of nsaeliciod that they see or air--
predate nothing but through et, medium of their own i
monepply, and for its interest.; it is peapieally impossible
that the people of England should bear any kindliness of
agection. In a Government constituted, as that which
is now beginning its reign is constituted, the pyin-
eiple of its life cannot be a sympathy with the liar
tion. The Tories—we mean the few borough-gifted
families, who had wantoned tat their rancorous veil
geance against Mr. Canning, and in their open con-
tempt for his sueeeosor,—these great 40-mses, with their
several coteries, hung back even from tie gallant officer
to whom hit Majesty mule an experimental 4.i:wafer of the
Government, because, from the very slight infu.s.on of
only four liberal Statesmen in his Cabinet, they suspected
that he had not made I?? his mind to do in all tliNs the
bidding of the oligarchy,--that be woad not be sufficiently
a slave to them, and a tyrant to those whom they regarded.
as below them. Well : the Duke, we have reason to be-. 1
sieve, having long been beset by one or more of three gran7
dies, laid hold with eagerness of the first pretence for re-
moving the obstacles to their ecepport of his Government.
The liberal stumbling-blooks were turned out. The oil:
garchy have now all therVivanted in their hands. They
have a Captain to head their vassals. _ They may
lord it over their disappointed •Sovereign, driven in. his
extremity to measures which it iv not in the nature ni #
*pirited and discerning Prince io regard as Consistent- with
a full enjoyment either of his prerogatives or of his per-
sonal free will. 'fire oligarchs may !old it...;-fitry, in self-
-.defence, they must lord it—over the nation, 'Which dis-
trusts and is preparing to appose them; for in proportion
tta the dislike of the people of England to this feudal and
barbarous domination shows itself, will and must he the at-
tempts of the armed oligarehy•to render that' hatred un-
viaiting. Hence, it ie to be feared, we may look for lavish
bribery in the place of honest economy,—for coercion as
a munterctoise to public opinion.— Times.

communicated to the public Earl of Aberdeen., Se-
cretary for Foreign *Weirs (Cabinet); Lieute.naut-Generall
Sir George Murray,,Seeretary, for the Colonies (Cabinet);
the Rigfit Hon. Charles Arbuthnot, Chancellor of the
Duchy of Lancaster ;. Lord Lowther, First Commissioner
of \Voods and Forests ; Sir Henry Hardinge, Secretary of
'War; Thomas Peregrine Courtenay, Esq., Vice-President
af the Board of Trade (in -the loom of Mr. Fraoliblod

Lewis); Horace Twiss, Esq., Under-Secretary for the
COlonies.,. -Our reader's tvill'perceive-from, the above list,"
that the appointments of the President of the Board of
Trade, the Secretary for Ireland, and the Under-Secre-
tary for Foreign Affairs, are nut yet made-a-at all events,
not yet communicated. ln the House of Com Mons last
night, the first writ moved for was for the shire of. Perth,
in the room cif Lieutenant-General Sir George Murray.
" Who the devir—says Mr. Cobbett, in his Register of
this day—" who the devil is Sir George Murray ? And
who is Sir Henry Hardinge? They must be known to
somebody, without doubt; but I never heard of them be-
fore. I dare say that they arebrothei-soldiers of the Duke
and me; and if the change go on thus, Sir John Sebright
will have,more from this ' very best of Statesman-forming
Schools' to his heart's content !" Never heard of Sir
George Murray before! That is odd enough, considering
his astonishing merits, according to the testimony of a num-
ber of Members in the House last night. Did Mr. Cobbett
never hear of the celebrated Report upon the internal insti-
tutions and regulations of the Canadae, drawn up by Sir
George Murray, alluded to in terms so very flattering to
the Gallant Military Minister by Colonel Lindsay? Did he
never hear that Sir George Mm ray, as a 'military. officer,.
has been in most of our Colonies (and having seen thew
with his own eyes, he is of all men living the fittest for
the administration of Colonies) ? 'We cannot repeat
exactly in this r'ise; " not to know Sir George Murray
argues one's self unknown," for Mr. Cobbett is known as
well as most people—known isles et in cute; it is ob-
vious that it Would not be safe for every one to ask such a
question. His merits are as extraordinary as his fortune.
A first-rate warrior an accomplished scholar, as our con- '
temporary, The Standard, says, one who can . quote
gorac:e' as readily as Parson. Adams could quote Eschylus
(and a quotation from Virgil, or Iforase, or Juvenal is
the highest qualification that an English legislator can pos-
sibV possess), a writer of Reports in the Colonies ! Why
the Duke fell on his feet, most assuredly, in finding such a
combination of valour, accomplishment, and political
Wisdom in , the market. In these times such a man is a
jewel beyond all praise. Mr. Hume, however, objected
to this appointment—" I think," said the Hon. Mem-
her, "that in the present state of this country, as well as
of our colonies, this House, and the country at large, have a
right to expect some guarantee, that an efficient officer
will, be appointed to the very important and difficult
situation of Celonial Semetary. The Right Hon. Seers-
tarry who lstely filled that appeintmentovas commencing a'
system of kindnesa and conciliation,which was calculated to
produce union and peace in our Colonies ; and if a different
system be now adopted, both will be banished, and dis-
cord and disunion will be found to prevail'in their stead.
For my own part, I anticipate a change of our Colonial
policy; and I dread it the more at a period like the pre-
sent, when our internal state required that every practi-
cable reduction should be made both at home and abroad.
No man can look at the present state of the Canadas, with-
. out perceiving that a recurrence to the system so recently
and so 'justly complained of, must be productive of the
most disastrous consequences. Sir. I cannot view, with-
out alarm and distrust, the. appointment to's(' impor-
tant an office, of a gallant Officer, who, however 'great his
military skill (and I should be the last Man, from the
greatness of thatskill, and the value of the services he has
rendered to his country), but I say I must entertain dis-
trust and alarm, when I see an officer who has been
trained in camps appointed to an office so purely civil. I
44014 pelt an appointment likely to be attended with the
most alarming consequences. Sir, in saying this, I mean
out to impugn the high military character of that gallant
Officer, I believe, that during the war we never had a
more able and efficient Quarter-Master-General, or one
who was more obedient to the commands which he re-
ceived (hear, hear, hear !). But I cannot view his ap-
pointment without jealousy, when I recollect that I heard
him in this House declare, that ,the troops preferred the
Bogging system to the substitution of other punishments.".
Mr, home added several observations to the same pur-
port, and ismented the prevalence of military domiuion
of late, and the heavy
„burdens which it entailed on the-
' country. " What !" said Colonel Lindsay, " does it fol.
Fmlow that because a man is born to arras, be is therefore unfit
1 to hold a civil appointment? Is a man, becatte lie lilas
been brought up in the school of ,integrity and honour, the
less 4 to devote himself to the service of his country in a
esiviiscs,Pacify?" What! said General Sir 'Alexander
Hope, objed to the appointment of military men to civil
offices, after reach a proof ca; we have had in the immortal'
Duke of unequalled ability at; a Premier ! ". The House
(he said) has now before it the mariner in Which civil ap-
pointments have been discharged ; and train that specimen
you may judge of the general fitness of military men for
such appointments. Sir, I maintain that, generally
speaking, they have been time most fit and competent per-
sons to hold f. rep." Who but military men ! . The most
fit and Competent peigns ha hold civil appointments! Ws
suppose divines, physiciaama wad lawyers, will also, be found
the ttest persons to fill military *cie One can never
4e 100 old to learn ; and we find we must go to school
again. Vin had imagined that the previous training to any
particular fkoranic was the likeliest way to obtain the quali-
tleation fv that porenit. But no, it seems the best way of
qualification for auy partiicashar pursuit, is a training toano-
I ther of a very different kW. ?eq. gir Alex. Hope would
not allow it to be prodigious genins in our Gallant
Premier that put hint iu an inataut in powsaion qi bran-
-1 ;ekes pf knowledge the most foreign to is balaitnal pur-
suits. bio; he generalizes boldly. Military men are ge-
m novelly the fittest for civil offices ! And from his logic too
lye would think that lasa heal been studying hard under Dr.
Whately." The Duke is a coatis:act' man ; you seellow ad-
mirably the Duke--s Military snan-aahas governed this
empire ; how completely lie has down Vitt, and Fog,
and Canning into the shade—ergo all military men are the'
Iliaseat t.o- govern Empires, and to shine as Statesmen.—
'Were not, we. right in pointing to the frailty of the Lord
Ch,' icellor'e wings? . Nothing like the military school for
giving chit abilities. ft is on the principle which leads
the husbandman ,sever to take mile or potatoes for seed
grown in the neighbourhood? Some people may
al think it
c.ee not smack of modesty for soldiers to thrust themselves
forward in this manner to bear testimony to the enperio-
. rity of sobiiera. But were they to allow modesty to stand
in their way at a time like this ? If the Duke et Welling-
ton and Sir George W.-4w are fitter for civil appointment
than other risen, on account a their military education, so,
1 n( course, are Colonel Lindsay ppt General ,Sir A.
Hope I and their fitness is not likely• to by the. more
overlooked, Ma:- they had the discernment to mliacOver
that of their gallant emponion% Brought up in the
Schad' Of honour and ,14!Tritg I That is just the school
fOr'.aour bench of Bishop's-aaonr' half-pay Officers were
made to go to school again beforestkey were allowed to he-
Come Dignitaries of the Church. ' fit,s must have
been from not properly appreciating the purity g.p4 inte-
grity of a military training. Surely it as more easy to
govern a Diocese than to govern the extended Colonies of
this .Feat Empire. Let then- the Duke clap a General
b6ldly into the next- vacant Diocese. '. Parity and honour
and ability surely cannot be objected to in a Bishop. ,
Sir Alexander Hope gave several specimens .of • his
logics " If gm] maintain that a military education dis-
qualitiea a Mail for a, civil appoOatment, then you have
a right to say that it disqualifies him fur It neat in this
House." Then, we suppose, no man ought to have a seat
in the House who is not to be deemed qualified for a Ca-
binet Minister. Really it would almost seem that the qua-
. lifications for a Cabinet Minister were the being qualified
:;Cos- aothing" else ; for we are mistaken if the 'Duke would
,obtai,4 raasssh for most of his Staff, if they were put up to

hrto a question of which they cannot but knowthirt he not
:only was not the advocate, but wasllie avowed opponent, to
the ybry martyrdom' of Lis political life. Under the mask
of 3 toast which they give as " the 'Protestant Mcen"
Jamey," they endeavour to enlist the weight of Mr. Pitt's
name into their ranks as an opponent of the Catholic Qfiss-
tion. There is a disingermousnese about this which cannot
be too severely reprehended. It goes, to falsify history, and

load with dissimulation and obloquy the name which they
profess to honour: kis; in lid, an act of political piracy
—of sailing under false colours, which the Noblemen and
Gentlemen who sanction it ought to be ashamed of resort-
ing to. We do not here stop to inquire whether Mr. Pitt
was right orwrong in his sentiments upon the subject. In

his time, as now, the sentiments of the country were pretty
equally poised upon the subject. What Mr. Pitt's opinion
upon it was, was openly known and avowed ; and for his
own avowed followers to impute tea hint sentiments the
very reverse olthese, and that for the purpose of bolstering
up their own deviation from them, is an art which we
think Mr. Peel showed great good sense and forbearance in
not being a party to, and which, for the same reason, we
wish the Duke of Wellington had not appeared to sanction
by his presence.—Morning Herald.
It will be seen from our :report of a meeting in another
part of our Paper, which took place on Thursday last,
that in the opinion of Counsel, an action for conspiracy
could be sustained, against.those common informers who
have extorted money from Licensed Victuallers, under the
pretence of keeping back informations against them. Such
being the case, we trust no time will be lost by those who
have suffered from their depredations in prosecuting them
to the utmost rigour which the law will allow. It is most
grievous and intolerable that a body of men who contribute
so largely te,the revenue should, through the inefficiency
of the law, be liable to the annoyance of a set of
wretches Whom no one ' could safely believe on
4seir oath.' 'The - new Bill brought in. by • Mr. Est_
court makes no provision. against this evil—and yet of all
others—the oppression sometimes practised by the Licensed
Magistrates not excepted,—it is the most intolerable. We
•
believe, however, that the Bill'itself will not pass—at least,
this Session ; and as this is the age of " the march of in-
tellect" some hope may therefore be entertained, that with
another Session of Parliament, we shall also have another
change in the law. In the mean time we think the
Licensed Victuallers generally are deeply indebted to the
Committee, to. whose proceedings we have been referring,
for the spirited manner in which they have undertaken
what may be considered the cause of the body. generally.
We trust they will be successful ; but until a change shall
have been made in the law itself, no effectual relief can be
experienced.—Morning Advertiser.

Moit cordially do we congratulate the public on the full
confirmation' of our statements, from time to time, that
Our glorious Premier, in his dauntless intrepidity and wise
determination, would: atop at nothing short of a thorough
cleansing of the Augean Stable. Already have his Ma-
jesty's Councils been pigged :of the impurities of insidious
Liberalism; and all the traitors to the illustrious Chief
been expelled the camp; As We yeSterday Stated, the whole
of the Ministerial arrangements cannot be completed for a
day or two longer; but enough has been. done to satisfy
the country that its best interests have been effectually cones
suited in the' afrangernents which have hitherto taken place.
—His Majesty held a Council' yesterday, when the
appointments-- which 'We haVe already announced,
receivpltlielloyal:sanction: 111 addition to these, we are
enabled to add some others, which will not fail to afford
universal satisfaction. :On tke new writs consequent upon
some of those arrangements being moved far in the- House
of Commons last night, Mr. Hume thought proper to
make some observations upon the particular appointment
of that gallant officer and sound politician, Sir George
Murray ; to which Colonel Lindsay and Sir Alex-
ander liloikt most satisfactorily and triumphantly re-
plied. , In accordance with the sentiments which
we have ourselves expressed upon this subject, it
was reasonably and forcibly asked, Was it because
a man who had se borne arms, and by his able, honour-
able, and successful exertions had particularly disting.iished
himself, was to be deemed as incapacitated from serving
!Us ,country in a civil capacity ?—Besides the services of Sir
George Murray immediately connected with the splendid
acts of the illustrious Premier, he had for a great part
of his life been occupied in a manner which was pecu-
liarly calculated to afford him that experience and practical
knowledge which the Socretary for the Colonies ought to
possess. He had been directly connected with almost all
the Colonies, and had had opportunities of acquiring Such
information as would outu sigh any deficiency he might
evince in an acquaintance with the mere outward forms
of his new office. The following are the appointments
which Live already taken place, and upon which we have
once more to congratulate . the public :—The Earl of
Aberdeen, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, viee the
Earl Dudley, resigned ; Sir George Murray, Secretary of
State for the War and ColOnial Department, vice Mr. Hui.-
kisson, resigned.; Sir henry Hudinge, Secretary at War,
vice Lord Palmerston resigned ; Right Hon. C. Arbuthnot,
Chancellor of the Duchy of -Lancaster, vice the Earl of
Aberdeen, appointed one of his Majesty's Principal Secre-
taries of State; Lord;Lowther, :First CoMmissidher of
Woodi and Forests and Land Revenues, vice. Mr.
Arbuthnot, appointed Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster;
night Hon. T. P. ,Courtenay, Vice-President of the Board
Of Trade, vice Mr. Franklaud Lewis, resigned ; Mr. Horace
Twiss, Under Secretary of State for the War and Colonial
Department, vice Lord F. L GoWer; resigned ; Mr.
George Bankes, Secretary to thelßoard of Controul for
India Affairs, vice Mr. Courtenay, "appoiiiitd Vice:Presi-
dent of the Board of Trade. The following appointments
are expected to take place.in a day or two :—Lord Wal-
lace, to be President of the Board of Trade, vice Mr. Grant,
resigned ; Lord Casticreagli,to be. Under Secretary of State
for the Foreign Department, vice Lord Howard de Walden,
resigned ; Bight , Mom Nesey Fitzgerald, to be Principal
Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, vice Mr. W.
Lamb, resigned.—Morning Post,
All uncertainty respecting the new Ministerial arrange-
ments was removed last night by the publication of the
following list, which coincides, iu almost every instance,
with the anticipations which we had expressed. The only
offices which remain to be filled up are those of President
of the Board of Trade, and the Secretaryship for Ireland.
The Under-Secretaryship of the Foreign Office, it is trn-
derstOod, will be given to, Lord Castlereagh, a young
nobleman of the most promising abilities. It was'confi-
dently asserted last.night that the Presidency of the Conn-
though nat Vaunt at this moment, would be conferred
on the venerable F.ari of gltiou, as. • soon as some office
worthy of Bald Bathurst's talents should be open to receive
him. Should the Marquis of Angleoea quit the Vice-
royalty of ,Iyeland in consequent,e' of Mr. Lamb's resigna-
tion (of which there is veryJittle probability), all difficulty
would be removed. Itaalna,,apean time the Cabinet, may
receive without iinpropriefy; all the weight and dignity
which op apeasion of ;the most learned and most able man
of his times can bestow on its deliberations, without his
occupying any official station. Such an arrangement
would be sanctioned .by more.than one precedent.—Nair
