[Tilt ItEP.RESIttsrATIVF..]
The announcement of Mr. Southey's having been
rt4hrned for Downton, has excited- a storm of wrath among our
Whig and Radidat'conteinporaries,: anti some of them speak out
their feelings openly, while others attempt in vain to conceal.
them under a Ahin disguise of meicitnente They sneer, lnrsnoth,
at the notion of a Laureate In Parliament," or condescend to be
sorry that the Dortor should hazard so rash an experiment !"
It needs no wizard to tell as what is at the bottom of all this out-
is very natural compound of two very congenial passions
--Fear and Envy. We do not see what rashness there is in the
experiment, as these gentlemen choose to call it. Mr. Southey
is a malt of great genius, but be is also a man of the most varied
and profound knowledge, and, above all, he is a man of extensive
experience, Mature in all hi 4 &cabin, and theta can be no doubt
perfeetly aware of the nature and character of his own talents.—
Such a man, entering Parliament with such a repotation,, rim he
little tempted to seek any thing which he is not. likely to attain.
More thin all the fame that Parliamentary orators in ge-.
neva aspire to, is already his; it would gratify no vanity
of his to add to the .reputation already posaesses all tlia Intel
!actual glory of St. !Stephen's, if we lay out of view scene three
or fonr men'on either side of the Speaker's chair. Ifs conk(
gain nothing by doing all that any secondary man in the lest Par-
liament ever attempted to do. it-very rarely happen% that one
who has grown grey in tlw use of his pen makes what is com-
monly talked of ,* a great speaker ; and quite es rarely that mi,.!
who has practised oratory from hie youth takes to writing in his
advanced years with winch advantage. But eloquence, properly
en culled, is riot much in, vogue in our time. Ile is sure to be
listened to in the House of Commons, now-a-days, who has the
senselo speak then' only when he has something to say ; told we
are certain that the very same felling whit procures en attentive
hearing to the merchant who speaks on mercantile matters, the
landlord who speaks on rural matters, the soldier who offets
the lionse,the result, on any unitary qiiestion, of his Own per
sand experience, Will command the most respectful atten-
tion of ,the Home of .Commons whenever Mr. Southey is
pleased to present liintrielf to their notice-,--beeause we cannot line.
gine him doing so exilipt when some great question—mime question
of principle, sleep, grave, and serious -forma the subject of debate.
In regard to the Catholic Question, for example, or the Qusstjon of
/Adorn' in Parliament—who can pretend toriey that Mm. SontheY
hai not, enjoyed as good opportunities of making himself master of
such subject as any mrm in Emo,ticl? Whn ran pretend to doubt,
that if there he a man in' England who knows • All that is to be
known on such a subject, Mr. Southey is aq likely to be that man
as any of his contemporaries? and who caredoplit that—granting
the knowledge, the ineteriali—the intellect of Mr. Southey. is
as well calculi :tot for making a good use of them .es any
anon in existence? Take the ten ablest Mit of the lied' House
of Commune, and seat • them round the seine table, with Mr.
Southey, and which of them is it that would .fcel the smallest
inclination to undervalue any opinion expressed by hidt ? On the
cputrary, these men, the Canning% Macintoshes, Broughams,
Peels, Ike., would unquestionably be anxithts and delighted to bear
itOnicause they all equally understand awl acknowledge the Intel-
lectuith,rank of ths man. , Mr. Southey; in the Home of Come
mons, will not be treated with less respect by these persons that,
he has through life been treated by them nut of it ; and we all
know what their nttentinn implies. There never was a time at
which the. accession of such a man as Southey could have beep
mote desirable. Wet venture to predict that his presence will have
a very powerful and marked influence in the House. The Church
of .England wants such a man there extremely,; and we are of
opinion that the literature of England wants. him too. As for
the barking of the party prints, Mr. Southey has no need to be
reminded

" 'The man who makes a charactet, limbs fues."

THE JUNO, AT Tor PAOSICUTION OF ZUWARD ADCOCK, V. TH

coLrottAttorr or 11,13111,1 N.

In this important ease, which was under the consideration of
the Court in Hilary Perm (when it was argued at considerable
length, and with much ability on both sides), the Chief Justice
this flay pronounced judgment. His Lordship said the case came
before the Court-upon a return to •ft writ of mandamus, corn.
mending the attendants (the Corporation of Dublin) to admit Ed;
wsnl Adcock to the fieedom of • the city, and to the privilegeS
and franchise of the Corporation. To this writ the defendants
nuolo the return alluded to; it was in substance, that' every per.
eon applying for freedom must be approved of by the Lord Mayor,
Aldermen, Sheriffs, end Common, sitting in Quarter Aspernbly ;
and that; on tliesllst of Jan: 1825, a petition or beseech was pre.
seated to inch assembly for auch purpose, bytheprogeentor,which
petition was refused ; and that by' the usage and custom of the Cor-
poration, tor time out of mind; it was not necessary to state or
as,,ign any reesott for such refusal. There were several objet-
Lions taken on the part of the prosecutor both as to the form
and imbstanee of the retitrn. It was contended that such custom
Was unreasonable, that it Was contrary. to • public policy,,. and
tending to extinguish the Corporation altogether, and that there-
fine 'Huai custom was bad. It was not, his Lordship said, mi.
reasonable that one part 'of a Corporation (and that the leading
And most influential pairt) should 'eremitic some controul, in se,-
'edit% Members from the inferior brandies of it; time trying the
validity of the custom'by the test of unreesonahleness. The Court
sees no solid reasOn'to suppose that such privilege, • speaking ge-
nerally, will be exercised mileis on good, legal, and reasonable
grounds ; nor can the Court question the motives of such menu-
hers of the Corporation in exercising such
,privilege. The rce,
is -therefore of opinion, thitt the riitiirri: is good., No coats,howC

queticy of aerial excursions of lirtet years has naturally worn off
the eagerness oft otiosity, and abated the excitement which, so in-
teresting an exhibition would otherwise not fail to. raise ; and to
this value we may, perhaps, attribute the paucity of spectators nn
the present occasion. The extreme heat of the day, cud the di*-
tance.of the plaile from the heart of thowietropolie, did not help
•to increase their number. The gardens were but thinly attended,
though the adjoining road. and eminences were crowded. Mons.
