PUBIAC OPXNION.
W 43. take the following from the Herald :—" Lord Mel-
- nlite attributes the present, position of the country—not to
;tr restrictive or protective commercial system, such nonsense
„.b leaves to Lord John Russell and Lord Palmerston—but to
toe evils which he describes as afflicting nations in times of
Peace With the Roman poet he sighs apparently for war
ssha remedy for the great evils of peace.' This ia quite
aricteristic nf the Noble Viscount ; careless, inattentive, an
rildifferent as to the present, the indolence of Lord Melbourne's
cllltivated but abused mind seeks for the causes of present die-
kt rin the classical reminiscences of his university life. He
d
lands his Government by a trite dictum of Solon, and ex-
V"ms away all national difficulties by reference to Homer or
gil. How wholesomely contrasted with this political epi-
earisna is the strong, practical, common-sense grasp of passing
"feats which the Duke of Wellington displayed. The evils

t„,se sentimentality ; the emergency under which the nation
;wipers, replied the aged warrior and statesman, are evils, not
•ihwar, but of semething as like war as any thing he ever saw;
th:y" not measures of war the Duke truly discriminated, but
`Y are Measures which entail the cost of war, and that, cost,
e added, we ar now called on to pay."
The Tim 3
e ree curs in the following terms to the hackneyed
;%1e1'641 of the Poor-laws It is not possible that a law
°°".l continue (however the period for its repeal may be
elayesi) which, being maintained against the general sense of
the'rpeople of England, and not without a considerable breach
°f with on the part of the governing ratty, can find no better
arguments for its support than those advanced by Sir James
Graham in favour of the New Poor-law on Friday. Mr.
lFakir, ton and the Right Hon. Baronet were is only de-
enders in the debate, !though 260 members recorded their
votes on the side of Government in the diuision. If we may
elge from the speeches delivered by Mr. Liddell, Colonel
'rood, and Mr. Stuart Wortley, there were many votes in the
Inajority which Mose who gave them will find much difficulty
In explaining to their constituents, if not in reconciling to their
own consciences. 'with their professed principles and con-
victions, such votes cannot be reconciled at all. So far, there-
fore, from being discouraged, we draw a favourable omen from
e result of this debate : we arc rejoiced to find that 61 Mem-
°erg are still prepared to take their stand in favour of consti-
tutional principles, even in one of those toe frequent cases in
'Which, as Sir Robert Inglis says, the coalition between the
Chiefs of the present and the late Administration, Sir Robert
reel and Lord John Russell, makes any opposition to Whig
Principles of government useless.
The Post observes, in reference to the Church-rate ques-
tion—" We are sorry that nothing has been done in Perna-
%sent to give the Church reason to believe that it would be re-
lieved from the harassing strife and vexation which continually
recur in many parishes on the subject of Church-rates. We
...ithink it is clearly the duty of a Conservative Government to
the lead in inducing the Legislature to put an end to the
Ztiog grievance. We do not see why clergymen and honest,
mujeant friends of the Church, should in many places be almost
e,‘,,441y harassed because the law is in a defective state.
