SPIRIT OY THE PUBLIC JOfRNALS.

There still remain unseta!,aal arrangements in the new
I.!linistry. The future -iraijay of the body is uncertain ; but
its friends at least 'oespeak a favourable reception foe it, by
asserting the: there will be no deviation from the system—
the system—which has been of late pursued under
thai auspices of Mr. Canning, and by the ministration of
itfr. Huskisson : and certainly the endeavours which have
been used by the predominant party to retain the friends
of those gentlemen in office since the retirement of the
latter, would seem to bear testimony to the truth of the as-
sertion. But then, on the contrary, what is proved by the
first and honourable refusal of the persons solicited to re=
lain or accept office under the present Premier, bet their
conviction at least (though it may be erroneous), that it is
not meant to continue in that system which they approve,
and with which they are identified ? They do not place
reliance ir. the professions of the Ministry, now constituted ;
they ae.prebend that their adhesion or accession to it would
bring upon them the imputation of a dereliction of principle ;
and they suspect that they should sacrifice their character
instead of promoting the political objects which they hart
at heart. Of the mess who have been solicited to partici-
pate in the new Ministry, Lord Dudley, both by talents
and station, is no doubt the chief : but applications hate
also been made, and in vain, to Mr. Frankland Lewis, Mr.
Wilmot Horton, and Mr. Calcraft, the last of whom we
erroneously stated to have been a candidate for office.
Lord Anglesea, we suspect, may be almost said to hire
been honoured with an embassy to entreat his earatinance
in his present station. We do not kreaw that his answer
has been yet received ; but we should hot be disposed,
under all the circumstance:, of his Lordship's individual case,
to consider his acilfliescenee as any great breach of a •
paramount dui;. Mr, Peel, we are sure, falters !aid
hesitates ; we know be does ; we see it by his broken
speeches, his strong expressions of regret at Mr. Huskis-
son's
separation, end in general by his indecisive manner.
Should 1.-tie change of system which is apprehended take
PlVe,—should high politics, harsh measures, and military
rigours be adopted,—he will be the first person cashieved
or sacrificed. It surely seems necessary that some explana-
tion should be elicited or moved for, with respect to the
intentions of Government, that if they are beneficent, con-
ciliatory, and liberal, those who entertain them may at least
be relieved from the disgrace of suspicion, and may hare
fair play allowed them in their endeavours to give effect to
these intention! ; or that, if their views be of s. different
kind,—if they contemplate only a re-union of the haughty,
the arbitrary, the extravagant, and the corrupt, under a
military system of discipline, to extinguish the opening
light, and crush the expanding hopes of the people, the
latter may be put on their guard ; and, knowing what they
hare to expect, may either prepare for a fair constitutional
resistance, or imbibe the sentiment of Christian resigna •
tiol4—bearing with patience that which can be but for a
time ; for light will shine from abroad, if it do not burst
forth at home. Times.
Ile Earl of Eldon, who has hitherto sat on a cross
Bench, appeared last night on the Ministerial Beech. The
Noble and Learned Lord, it would appear, considers the
obstacles to his closer union with Ministers at length re-
moved. He can safely identify himself with the Adminis-
tration nosy that it is purified from all leaven of liberality.
We shall, no doubt, soon hear that the Noble and Learned
Lord is no longer liable to the accusation of being an ir-
responsible adviser; for though his declaration (made in
an unguarded moment) precludes him from returning to
the Woolsack, some other place will he found for him. He
will give the world the benefit of his exertions to retased
improvement and promote the cause of inteler-nee till—
His latest draught o'breathin leaves him in
" There will be no change—every th:.!ng
will go on as
before," has been rcpeatly declare'l. by the
Gallant Com-
mander of the Cabinet—" nehet.g..c ;
positively none."
Nu change, ooly the di
of Lords Dudley and Pal-
inerstou, and Mes"..e. Ruskisson and Grant, and the intro-
duction of Loil'a Eldon. We say dismissal, because Lord
Eldo 7ala at pains last night, in answer to Lord King, to
appty 'anis expression, and again repeat it to the late resig-
lrZions. This is, no doubt, the language of the Noble
uke himself now, and Lord Eldon, who, though he dis-
claims " having taken any part in the dismissal of the
late Ministry," possesses, no doubt, very accurate infor-
mation respecting . the wbole transaction, and the
light in which the Noble Duke wishes it to be
viewed, knew very well that he would afford gratificaa
tion both to the premier and the party, by giving his
Grace the credit of out-manoeuvring Mr. Huskisson.- Lord
King seems, however, to hate touched rather a sore place
of the venerable and Learned Earl, when he alluded to what
he had to expect from theMajor-Generals in the Cabinet.
bHis love for oader and regularity wo-uld most probably
e called by the Major-Generals ".venerable buffoonerise. '
The Learned Lord said,, " he repelled, with scorn and in-
dignation the insinuations that any Members introduced
into the Cabinet should treat him with buffoonery." It is
very prudent in his Lordship, at all events, to talk big be-
forehand.
There is no barns in his trying to frighten them
with the retaliation they may count upon. We fear this •
approximation of Lord Eldon must be deemed ominous
of an Administration hostile to every thing ge-
nerous and good. There are few men who have
not occasional fits of benevolence—who have not—after
feathering their own neat, been seized with a desire of
doing some good to their fellow-creatures. We are nut
aware, however, that Lord Eldon can be charged with
ever, for one moment, having indulged in a feeling which
had not himself for object. He will close his length-
ened career without ever having availed himself of the
power and the influence he so long possessed, to improve
the condition of his countrymen in any one respect. He
has seen thousands stript of their all by the abuses of the
Court over which he presided—the cries of the widow and
orphan frequently reached him on the Judgment Seat.—
But the spectacle of suitor after suitor ingulphed in irreme-
diable ruin, never instigated him to one effort to remedy
the evil he daily witnessed. The only distress be seems
ever to have felt, was when the arm of persecution was
stayed, when the causes of civil discord experienced a dimi-
nution, when increasd means were placed within the reach
of the people, to raise themselves in the scale of being.
To his influence we attribute much of thOnsincerity, the
hollow hypocrisy, which arc so common in those who
address the public in the present day. His accession to
the Ministry we view as a pestilence ; and we own we
should have better hopes of the destiny of mankind, if we
knew that his career were filially closed.--Morning
Chronicle.

In the Military and Ministerial circles, Lieu-
tenant-. General Sir HENRY T. MoNrßEsort is named
as the probable successor to Sir GEORGE :MURRAY in the
command of the Forces in Ireland. Sir HENRY TUCKER.
AIONTRESON. is nephew to the late Commander of the
Forces in Ireland, that gallant and distinguished officer
Sir SAnCEL AUCKMUTY. Sir HENRY stands very high
in character among his brave companions in arms, and in
private life is urbane, amiable, and estimable. Lord HILL
dined with the gallant General on Tuesday last, at the seat
of Sir HENRY, near Canterbury. It was Sir HENRY
MeNTRESOR V7llO headed and led the attacking column at
Genoa, Lord W. BENTINCE being Commander-in-Chief.

A work o' great interest nas just appeared,
entitled, " A History of Italy during the Consulate and
Empire of NA I'OLEON BOONA PANTE." It is the produc-
tion of an Italian (the celebrated CALLO Barr.*), and the
history of the Italian states is given timing NATOLEON'S
connexion with them, beginning about the time of his re-
float from Egypt, and ending with his final overthrow.—
Th' views of this writer cannot fail to give great
interest to his work. We have several Lives of NAro-
LEON, but in none have we thus developed so well the
beginning of bid great plans for universal empire; tisese
plans were first tried in Italy, and afterwards nearly over-
spread the world. The historian appears to know the true
character of this extraordinary man better than any of his
biographers ; and being of the same country with his hero,
and living where his genius had its'earliest range, he gives
peculiar interest to the changes made in the various govern-
ments, to the circumstances attending the elevation of so
many branches of his family to sovereign authority in Italy
states, to the history of these indivi-
and the neighbouring
duals,--the great battles he fought, (for his most famous
feats were beyond the Alps), to the great generals that ac-
companied him (and it is remarkable that to nearly all he
gave Italian titles), his quarrels with the Pope, the final
seizure of his states, and his imprisonment at Fontainebleau.
The battle of Maida is finely told; and justice is done to
Lord WILLIAM li/ENTINCK'S masterly arrangements in
S.iiellv: The work is exceedingly well translated; and for
information and entertainment, it is one of the best publica-
tions of the season.
On Monday last, NIL-. FENNEY, of Sheffield,
while trolling in a certain branch of the river Trent,
caught six brace of pike, the largest of which was of the ex-
traordinary weight of l9lbs. measuring three feet three
inches and a half, and 23 inches in circumference.
