LONDON:

TUESDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER 6, 1842.

We do not row ask the question for the first
time,:" How is England '—how are the masses in
England, who are -very generally discontented,
"to b.! (overned ." But 11.0`,V, fur the
lately, a practical answer is given to the ques-
tion. The extensive political changes proposed
by the Chartists, their design deliberately formed
and deliberately carried in to execution, of putting
an end to all public meetings, of which they did
not approve—a policy very nearly akin to that of
the ultra-Tories at all times, and the late general
insurrection in the north, directed less against the
Government than against the middle classes,
seem, we are afraid, to have thoroughly roused
their apprehensions, and made them resolve, at
whatever cost to themselves, to strengthen the
Government, and enable it to domineer with a
heavy and an iron hand. We note in the provin-
cial papers but one voice on the subject, or the
objections to this course are made in so querulous
and doubtful a tone, that it informs us, even
better than an actual assertion, what is the present
state of public feeling in the provinces. How
long it may last, we cannot pretend to say; but
throughout the middle classes generally there is
now, we are afraid, a practical conviction, giv-
ing birth to active exertions, that the liberties of
the people must be curtailed, and they must be
rigidly and severely governed. In fact, the
conduct of the people, as above all unc‘d to, has
supplied the pretext, if not the justification, of
reviving and restoring ultra-Toryistn, which, fi,r
the season, seems in the ascendant.

The Secretary of State has given a warrant to
every police-constable to suppress a public meet-
ing, and on that warrant men have already acted.
Magistrates are preventing meetings of the most
usual, and, for what we know—as we believe talk
dissipates grief—of the most harmless character,
and their conduct is generally approved of. The
conference of the Complete Suffrage As.
sociation at Birmingham, which had been
summoned under Mr. STURGE'S auspices for
the 7th instant, has been put off sine
die, " in consequence," it is said, " of the sup-
pression of public meetings by the authorities.
A similar meeting has been prevented at Leeds,
411 d we are told at various other towns, so that
at present constitutional meetings are no more
tolerated by the authorities than they were a few
months ago by the Chartists. On the Ist instant
Mr. VINCENT, who lately received a very large
number of votes at Ipswich, to represent that
borough, had engaged to deliver a lecture at
Derby, 44 upon the present state of the country, and
the necessity and safety of extending political
political power to all classes of the people," when
the Magistrates, we are told, by an address
issued at Derby, " sent a posse of constables to
the theatre, who, by sheer intimidation, induced
the lessee to authorise them to eject the persons
then in possession, and the theatre was thus fi-
nally closed against them." The middle classes
of the north have seen, or supposed, their pro-
perty to be in danger, and they have cheer-
fully enrolled themselves as special consta-
bles, and have united with the Magistrates
in putting an end to all such meetings. For the
present, therefore, the question is answered; the
numerous and powerful middle classes seetri re-
solved to have a strong and a coercive Govern-
ment. It may appear singular to the Tories,
though we are not wholly unprepared for it; but
the fact is, that they will now find amongst the
commercial and manufacturing capitalists, whom
they have so vehemently abused, some of their
staunchest and most eager supporters.
We are well aware that reasoning or argu-
ments are thrown away, when urged on persons
under the influence of alarm. But there are
some facts to which, evert now, it may not be
wholly out of place to allude. The sort of co-
ercive Government which is growing up in
England, has long been established on the con-
tinent of Europe. There no public meetings are
or can be held; there th-3 Press generally has

neither eyes to see, nor tongue to speak, but as the
