most merciless of all, to pander to the base and
depraved appetites of those who delight in such
-entertainments, an incessant war has been waged
against' female delicacy. Now it deserves to
be remarked that this Journal (John Bull)
has an extensive Circulation, chiefly among
the upper classes of society, and has been
powerfully patronised by many of the more dis-
tinguished Tories. Every one knows too that
the real libellers are not 'those who are now in
Newgate, and some of them are confidently
named on more than mere vague report. Let it
be borne in mind too that the. Patrons of this
publication, the most base and disgraceful that
ever issued from the press of this country; have
always been loud in their declamations against
the licentiousness of that Press, that they are the
authors of the Banishment Bill, and the encoti-
ragas of Constitutional Associations. All this
surely will have its weight with the country.

Lord John Russel has just published a most
valuable and Interesting Essay on the History of
the English Government and Constitution, from
the reign of Henry VII. to the present time.—
Lord John, in a short advertisement says,
" The design upon which the following Essaywas
written, comprehended much more than has been
yet accomplished. It was my object to illustrate
by an analysis of the history of the Governments
of modern Europe from the commencement of the
15th century, two very plain, but somewhat
neglected truths. The first is, that the Mo-
narchies of the Continent of Europe have been,
generally speaking, so ill adapted to make their
subjects virtuous and happy, that they require,
or required complete regeneration. The second
is, that the Government of England ought not to
be included in this class ; that it is calculated to
produce liberty, worth, and content among the
people; whilst its abuses easily admit of reforms
consistent with its spirit, capable of being effected
without injury or danger, and mainly contribut-
ing to its preservation. _ _

The latter portion of this work is the only part (except an
introduction to the whole) that I have finished. The reason
why it is thus prematurely published without sufficient concoc-
tion or correction, is to be attributed to the vanity of imagining
it may at this period be of some service. It may at least pro-
voke the wits, and excite the thoughts of other Men to a more
happy attention to subjects in which every member of this free
community has an interest of the deepest importance." •

With this modest preface the Noble Lord en-
ters into the most plain and concentrated review
of the British Constitution that has ever come
before the public view, and by a careful perusal
of this little volume, it will be seen how truly
rational, moderate, practicable and safe, the opi-
nions of the Whigs are for the reform and pre-
servation of the system, for the existence of
which Ike are indebted to their ancestors.—(lbid.)

Li/mount, May 10.—Our supply of Wheat and Barley on
Saturday last was prettygood ; the former were extremely dull
of sale, but cannot note any alteration in prices; the latter,
in consequence of many of the Maltsters declining Malting
any mote this season, were from Is to 2s per quarter cheaper.
Oats were very dull, and something cheaper. In Peas and
Beans nothing doing. . _
