This is the only edition containing all the most recent improve-

and it is ',loped that it will be distinguished from all other editions of
Lempriere, which, though larger in size, contain a large quantity of
matter not calculated to assist the scholar; and which has been pur-
posely expunged from this edition, thus diminishing the expense of the
work without injuring its utility as an elementary school-book. All
Indelicacies, both in matter and language, have been carefully avoided.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
t. 11.03 IHE EVEN:IG PAPF;TIS OF YESTERD
GLOBE.--The 7 Time* should really. adopt the (dies
of •"rbo. Sorrows of Walter." To what a degree those
sarrows supply motives for its daily diatribes i very_
now and then-dhados(al by • itself, as the most nattird
thing in the world. That the-publie should espouse the
cause of Mr.- Walter againSt all adversttrie.s, and that
whenever aoy public man is soetaconne d'etre suspect
of want of allegiance to Mr. Walter, he should he
(avowedly therefore) run down by the Times, seems a
rule requiring no concealment 1 The Vines Office is a
holy office -of inquisition into; the faith of statesmen
—and the first. article in the faith .of statesmen is
belief in Waler. Without it there -is no salvation.
People may talk of priestcrafr, and- the dark ages
but to our view the dark ages were luminous, compared
to this age of press craft. Is it creditable—(look at the
.Times of this morning to see if it is not trite)—is it,
creditable I:lista-journal, assuming to take such a lead
of opinion as the Times, should put forth, in its leading
article, the wrongs, or supposed wrongs, of a proprietor,
.as the evident provocation. (we did. not know it before)
on which it proceeds, in the set purpose it has lately
evinced of running clown the present Home Secretary !
Is it possible to call the public a great gudgeon in plainer
terms,. than by 'thee flaunting the naked hook before it,
confidnt it will bite none .the less? We may be asked .
what interest we have in defending Sir James
Graham against the Times. Evidently none, except the
common interest of all rational meu in discountenancing
a system of political agitation, in which imputations of
the gross,ist nature are caught from such lips as a Fel--
rand'S. to, heap on a personal enemy! Sir James Graham
is no friend of ours, but we say, notwithstanding--
Non tali auxilio, non of-fensoribus istis.
If the object were to render the Home Secretary re-
spectable to those whose respect is worth having, there is
nothing moreadap:ed than this TiMeiand Ferrand league
to effect it. Mr. Oastler has been improving at Brad-
ford on Mr. Ferrand's style of aspersion at Leeds:—
" He would tell them why Sir J.. Graham made. him-
self .so very ridicuous before a rational world. Sir
J. Graham knew that the Queen of England had an
bpiniOn upon this question. •
.He knew that her mater-
nal heart was yearning towards the emancipation of
her sex and of the youth of her dominions from their
excessive toil. He knew that she was not an adept in
commercial calculations. lief therefore, was deter-.
mined to mystify:and bewilder the Royal mind, to raise
up hobgoblins to trighten her Majesty from, her benefi-
cent resolution. Ile knew also that his own tenure of
office depended upon his success,- and it was fur that—
that only,. that Sir James Graham continued to ring
in the Reuse of Commons that the stability of our
institutions depends upon the excessive labour of women
and children in factories."
We have already stated that it is the case of adult
women, not children; which is now concerned ; and the
continual appeal about children by one and all of these
agitators, as well as their continual adducing cf cases of
over-work fifteen or twenty years back, affords no Very
strong presumption of consciousncss ofthe strength of their
real case. Let that case be gone into on its real merits.l Let.
it be shown that grown-up persons of average health (for
.that,is the real point) suffer by twelve hours' work in
a cotton mill more than the fatigue of other ordinary
occupations. Let it be shown that injury and 'die-
eouragenient to investment of capital in manufactures
is not to be apprehended from a further legisla-
tive restriction of adult labour. Let these things
be made out, and none will acquiesce more gladly
than we shall in the change. But let not frailu-.
lent use be made of the tender age of children, who
are out of the question. Let not fraudulent use
be made of cases of overwork some twenty years remote.
(Such were the -cases quoted by Mr. Smith from the
Leeds Infirmary.) Let us not be deluged by men, who
seem to find it impossible to speak truth on any subject,
- with aspersion and contumely against every public man
who has courage sufficient to take what is deemed the
cold-blooded part of caution—and' to sacrifice the' sort
of popularity which is so easily and cheaply earned.
It is clear that to do this demonstrates a strong
conviction against the safety of change. And whether
that conviction is well or ill founded, adherence to it on
the part of those, who hold it is- fulfilment of a public
duty. It is said, indeed, that Ministers should yield
their opinion to the majority of the House of Commons.
To a majority in favour of what? Will any one be kind
enough to tell us? Not of a Ten Hours' Bill, fur that,'
Lts'well as the plan of Government, has been negatived.
Ministers have to choose between some compromiseoihich
will unsettle Arything and settle nothing, and adhe-
rence to their own view of a point essential to the safety
of important interests. Of course they may be wrong in
their notion of what is essential to manutactures. , So
may Mr. Senior, whose views, we perceive, were quoted
at the Bradford meeting. We can only say that neither
their views of the risk, nor his, seem to us to have been
shown unfounded.
