SPIRIT OF TIM LONDON JOURNALS.

In another column will be found a list of the mino-
rity on Friday night; and we challenge all England
to produce 160 such men. To compare them with
any similar number, that might be collected at ran-
dom in the street, would be a gross insult to the
average intelligence of the town. Here is a goodly
fellowship of the most notorious bores of the House,
with those invincible intellects through which no
ray of the increasing light of knowledge has ever
been able to penetrate,—the faithful votaries who
still cling to the forsaken altars of bigotry and in-
tolerance. Let the people of England read the two
lists (to Fay nothing of the debate), and reason
upon this most important subject as they would
upon the simplest affair in ordinary life. They will
see all that is conspicuous for experience, know-
ledge, and eloquence,—all that they have been
taught to look up to,—ranged on one side : all that
is ignorant, prejudiced, and foolish,—and scarcely a
man who can see beyond his nose, or who is capable
of forming an opinion on nny subject,—marshalled
on the other. Can it be matter of doubt which of
these is best entitled to our confidence and re-
spect ? But we have something more to say con-
cerning this list. We find the names of some per-
sons in the minority, who after their vote on Friday
might, ought on Saturday morning to have ceased
to be employed in the service of his Majesty. It is
said that Lord Lowther and Sir J. Beckett have
resigned ; but we must frankly tell the noble Duke
at the head of - the Government, that if he allows
himself to be bearded with impunity by the hostile
or the lukewarm, whoever or in whatever situation
they may be,—if he does not at once declare that
he shall consider those who are not with him to be
against him, he will not deserve—perhaps tray not
be aisle to command—success. Let the Duke of
Wellington remember the words of Mr. Burke, in
his famous " representation," which are peculiarly
applicable to the present
.occasion :—" Whilst per-
sons, considerable for their rank, and known to have
had access to his Majesty's sacred person, can with
impunity disuse that advantage, and employ his Ma-
jesty's name to disavow and counteract the proceed-
ings of his official servants, nothing but distrust,
discord, debility, contempt of all authority, and
general confusion, can prevail in his Government."
In putting an end to the pernicious anomaly of " the
neutral question," are especial privilzges of neutra-
lity to be continued to official underlings, or " the
silken Barons" of the Bedchamber ? We will not
believe that the Noble Duke is so " infirm of pur-
pose." We are confident that by no-ill-timed in-
dulgence will he peril the mighty interests at stake,
or so ungratefully requite the devotion of the many
respectable and conscientious individuals, who have
sacrificed long-cherished prejudices and surrendered
at discretion, with a generous reliance on the wis-
dom and firmness of his character.—Trnes.
It has been announced to be the intention of Mi-
nisters to propose and carry the Catholic question as
a Ministerial measure, it appears clear that every one
connected with the Ministry who could not support
the general views of the body was by that very in-
ability rendered incapable of continuing in office.
After the King had recommended to his Parliament
ts) take into consideration the disqualifications of the
Catholics, with a view to their removal, how could
be retain in his service an official person who re-
based to obey that recommendatiOn, and was opposed
tia the result ? The dismissal of Sir C. Wetherell,
Lord Lowther, and Sir John Beckett, is not the
act of the Duke of Wellington, but their own. Not
shat we say this with a view to deprecate hostility
oe palliate the act : the names and characters of the
iaea will protect us from a suspicion of that nature.
For any personal qualifications or attainments, it is
pretty clear they may be well spared. We would
only have it understood, that they would have been
borne with, if they had not themselves chosen to
retire. We respect the motives of at least two of
them : very dull men may be very conscientious
ones.—lbid.

One or two tergiversations have taken place
within the last eight-and-forty hours on the subject
of the Catholic Bill. We have heard of bubbles
being thrown up to the surface of agitated waters,
but never yet of any thing so unnatural as a bubble
affecting to swim against the stream that produced
it. Every body has heard of a place called Hatfield;
but until the movement of the Catholic question,
gyre were not many Englishmen out of the narrow
eirete of his personal acquaintance who ever did hear
of the present owner of Hatfield, or who troubled
themselves to do more than guess that it belonged
to some one bearing the title of Salisbury. Now
the Lord who happens to possess that title just at
present, was appointed by his Majesty's Ministers
to perform in the House of Lords on the first day of
the session, a service which is commonly called
moving the address ;" and, undoubtedly, his
Lordship did attempt that service, and did
make a sort of demonstration of oratory, which
excited in us no other feeling but an anxious
one that some benign power would deliver
us from ever again hearing such a speech, de-
livered by such an artist. Before that occa-
sion the Noble Lord had been nothing: by that
speech he was raised to the dignity of a bubble—a
Ministerial- bubble, whose proper office would be
to float quietly along, and be lost in the flood of
Emancipation. But not so, to drop the metaphor:
Lord Salisbury is said to entertain a notion, that
since he has failed as an orator on one side of the
question, he may, perchance, redeem his reputation
,n the other; and since he could make so little of a
' cause, he may find a bad one more " germane"
to his ...ening, and varnish it with more brilliant
effect.
Tbbs Noble Marquis, in short, is reported,
though we scars:
ely believe it, to have become a de-
serter from the met,' ere of Emancipation, of which,
only a month ago, lie ss:"!s the foremost, if not the
most forcible advocate. •,n2e ex-Chancellor, too,
of lielsrid; poor old prim,—we ha,rl almost said prig,
—Lord Manners,—poor Beef-ewe:: Club Lord
Manners—had almost made up (not his mind, but)
his nerves to support the Bill—not qua a . bill for
Emancipation, but qua a Ministerial Biti; and
we verily believe, that if that other garrulous
ex-Chancellor, the Baron Redesdale, could
have kept his pen in abeyance, his brother Manners
might have forgottei: the substance of the measure
for the sake of its offic74l origin, and been betrayed
into one (a fire; and only) vote on behalf of free-
dom. But it was otherwise : Lord Redesdale had
the boldness to remind us, that about 180 years ago
king Charles had lost his head upon the scaffold,
and to infer that if should deserve it, he
might share a similar floe ! This was hint enough
for other ex-Chancellors, so we hear Of -urgiversa-
tion tip second; and this, we believe, compotea the
honourable catalogue. " Ali, sure a pair,"._
Well may the King's Ministers congratulate them-
selves on the glorious fruits of their own unshaken
firmness, and of that of their illustrious Master.
That one quality, in certain conditions of the
commonwealth, is worth every other that could
be named : minds which yield to reasoning, and
which set fury and malignity at defianee, arc
those in which a people may safely trust
for the maintenance of whatever is valuable
in their institutions, and for the improvement
of all that is objectionable. The Duke of Welling-
ton, on coming to the seat of power, as well as of
political information, laid aside his early prejudices,
He had the courage to ascertain facts, and the can-
dour to -act upon them. His country was to him
the first object : his owe consistency never cost
him a thought, and yet it remains unblemished. Hu,
has, by the acknowledgement of " state necessity"
fur his counsellor, thrown a bridge across the gulf',
upon which every honest man may cross over to the
side of civil liberty, without incurring his own re-
proach, or that of his fellow-subjects, and which
no wise man will hesitate to use, teat the swelling
waters and, rushing tide should overwhelm him.
such is the Minister, and this Minister is barked
and encouraged by a high-miuded Sovereign, whose
