SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAM
CHRONICLE.—We never laid a public document before
the world with a livelier satisfaction than that which we feel
this day, in printing Lord John Russsell's address to his
constituents, the electors of the City of London, and through
them to the people of the United Kingdom. Coining from a
statesman whore moderation of opinion, firmness of purpose,
rectitude of character, and long-tried services to the popular
cause present all the quaijies on which the English people
most love to rely; coming at. a crisis of unexampled urgency
and peril to all our great social and public interests—when
an evil, novel in its nature, =ascertainable in its extent,
and terrible in its malignity is poisoning the very aprings of
national life—and when the Government shamefully abdi-
cates the most sacred and responsibiks of its functions,
after an indolent recognition of the gravity of the occa-
sion calling for their exercise ;—this ,Manifesto of the
Liberal leader will awaken responsive action ft 2 every part of
the country. By giving increased confidence, it will give
increased strength, to that national movement the signs of
which we are now daily recording. It will invigorate popu-
lar determination with the assurance of a near and full suc-
cess. We now see land at last. The country now knows—
that which before it instinctively believed—that its delibe-
rate and matured volition will not have to wait for a fit exe-
cutive. In this great struggle for national life, security, and
progress, the statesman who has fought our battles in by-
gone days, is altogether one of "us, the Queen's subjects."
We need not comment at length on particular passages of
a document. every word of which will be read, and read again,
in every part of the United Kingdom. But we cannot forbear
expressing our admiration of the manly plainness and truth-
fulness which characterise Lord John Russell's allusions
to the course which he has, in former periods, taken
on the subject of the corn-laws, and to the changes
which the observation and experience of twenty years have
gradually effected in his views. His Lordship's-acknowledg-
ment of former errors of opinion is, as might be expected
from a public man of his character, frank and full. Lord
John Russell can afford to acknowledge an error of judg-
filent,in plain, honest English. He has no occasion to fear
Hansard; nor need he be perpetually calling that witness
into court to speak (under guidance of skilfully-put leading
questions) to his character fur " consistency." In retracting
a mistake, Lord John Russell has nothing except the mis-
take to retract. He has never fostered popular delusions
that he inwardly scorned, nor played on popular weaknesses
for the sake of increasing his Parliamentary strength. He
has never descended to the meanness of making political
capital out of passions and ignorance that he despised, and
raising votes and majorities on the false pretence of a
and economy,

Lord John Russsell finds that he has been in

Observationof
him that the case of corn is not exceptional, and he repu-
diates a policy whose foundation is recognised to be false
politica t
and vicious. He once considered that a compromise might
be beneficially effected, and he proposed a compromise—the
compromise was rejected—the question has since outgrown
compromise—and he desists from the futile search for a
via media in which nobody is desirous of walking. We have
here a " consistency" infinitely worthier of an English
statesman than that which laboriously vindicates and
" proves" itself by rule of Hansard. Lord John Russell's
consistency is not that of this year's opinions with the
opinions of twenty years ago ; it is the consistency of words
with thoughts—of conduct with conviction—consistency
in cautious and well-considered progress—the con-
sistency of a mind open to the teachings of ob-
servation and experience, and participating in the
spirit of an age distinguished for its advances
in social and economical science. The following passage of
his Lordship's address to the London electors will be read by
the country with especial satisfaction, both for the manly
straightforwardness of its tone, and the announcement which

it contains of a full and and unreserved adhesion to the great
principle of commercial and industrial liberty :—" I confess
that on the general subject my views have in the course of
twenty years undergrne a great alteration. I used to be of
opinion that corn was an exception to the general rules of poli-
tical economy; BUT OBSERVATION AND EXPERIENCE HAVE
CONVINCED ME THAT WE OUGHT TO ABSTAIN FROM ALL IN-
TERFERENCE WITH THE SUPPLY OF FOOD. Neither a Go-
vernment nor a Legislature can ever regulate the corn market
with the beneficial Ofects which the entire freedom of sale and
purchase are sure of themselves to produce.'' Whether the aris-
tocracy of Great Britain are likely to make a wise and timely
r improvement of the counsel so earnestly tendered to them by a
distinguished member of their own order, who unites with
popular principles, and a long-tried devotion to the popular
miss% a full appreciation of the value of the aristocratic
element', of our constitution, and whose attachment- to the
real and IN:Tmanent interests of an institution deriving its
strength from;
" ancient associations and the memory of
immortal services"
needs no voucher beyond the name of
Russell—the erenti; of the next few months, or weeks, will
decide. Our aristocraty may rest assured that " the struggle
to make bread scarce and Clear" is indeed " deeply injurious
to them"—fatally damaging to the character of their order,
which it identifies with as sordid nteanness and jobbery as
ever were perpetrated by a ruling class, and frangt,,t with
peril to the continuance of a power which cannot very
long survive the loss of character by its depositaries,.
The nobility and gentry of England must know
that this struggle can only end in one way. The " result of
resistanceto qualified concessions" will be now that which,
in the history of this country—most emphatically in the last
twenty years of our history—it invariably has been. That
resistance has been already made, and its necessary result is
past the power of man to recal. The tide of national intelli-
gence and national will has fairly set in, and all the Dame
Partingtons on earth cannot turn it back. Free-trade is as
certain a fact in our immediate political future, as was Par-
liamentary Reform this time fifteen years ago. Sharing, as
we do, the conviction that aristocracy is an element of our
social and political state, the preservation of which is to be
desired, ire would gladly see landlordism desist,
while it is time, from a conflict which can have
but one termination, and whose continuance en-
dangers interests decidedly more valuable than even the
averages, the pivot, the slides, the rests, and the fifty-six
shillings' On the mind and heart of the people of England
the summons of the Liberal leader will tell promptly and
powerfully. Those spontaneous energies and efforts of which
our columns from day to day bear such ample witness, will
receive a new impulse from the voice of a statesman whose
name is " strong' in " associations," and in the memory of
"services," which if less "ancient" than those which con-
stitute the prestige of aristocracy, are not less potent to stir
the national heart. The " unequivocal expression of the
public voice" will fall louder and louder on the ear of a
Minister faithless to hilt great trust, and reckless of his
solemn responsibilities. The " excuse," for which Lord
John Russell charitably—perhaps justly—assumes the
Government to be "waiting," will be presented in a form
which " excuse" never took before. With a force like that
which wrenched Schedule A from a boroughmongering
oligarchy will the people of these realms now "unite to put
an end to a system which has been proved to be THE BLIGHT OF
COMMERCE, THE BANE OF AGRICULTURE, THE SOURCE OF
BITTER DIVISIONS AMONG CLASSES,. THE CAUSE OF PENURY,
FEVER, MORTALITY, AND CRIME AMONG THE PEOPLE."

EXPERIMENTS IN WOOLWICH MARSHES, NOV. 24.
—Vice-Admiral Sir William Hall Gage, G.C.11., one of the
Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty; Lord Wm. Lennox,
Si;: Wm. Gossett, Capt. Sir Thos. Hastings, Knt., clerk of the
Ordnan,:.T ; Major-General James Webber Smith, C. 8.; Col.
Cockburn; Cji. Lacy, Col. Turper, C. 8., Lieut.-Col. Grant,
Lieut.-Col. Danst;,v, C. 8., &c., assembled in the marshes at
two o'clock P.M. fo-dayy, to witness srperiments with shells,
fitted with Sergeant-Major,Freeburn's tows, and also an inven-
tion by Capt. Addison, for heating shot tog red heat in a limited
time, and at less expense than by any plan hitherto adopted.
The experiments commenced with the fuseee, and out of
twenty shells fired, twelve from two thirty-two pounder
guns, and eight from an eight-inch gun, seventeen exploded
on striking the bulk-head, with tremendous effect, throwing
the massive timbers, after they had been torn to pieces to a
considerable distance. Two of the shells did not explode,
and one being doubtful, was reported as not having explodesi.
The result of the experiments with Sergeant-Major Freeburn's'
shells was very satisfactory. No premature explosions will
take place with them, and the shells will explode by con-
cussion, on striking the object. The officers then proceeded
to witness the experiment with Captain Addison's furnace
for red-hot shot. This invention has the appearance of a
miniature caravan placed upon four wheels, and contains a
furnace capable of heating thirty 32-pounder solid shot at
one time, and of being drawn by a horse from one part to
another. At an hour and a quarter after the fire had been
lighted, the shot were taken out, and readily set fire to
shavings of wood. A fresh supply of cold shot was after-
wards added, and in twenty minutes they wese taken out,
equally red hot ; and the same quantity could be furnished
every twenty minutes for any length of time after the first.
This invention gave great satisfaction. Its weight has been
reduced to 1 ton 8 cwt. A tube capable of holding four red-
hot shot, and moving them close to the mouth of the guns
for which they may be required was tried, and appeared to
answer the purpose remarkably well.
A SHOCKING BAD SIXPENCE.—A short time ago
a chemist of this town happened to take a bad sixpence, and
putting it with other .‘2ilver in his pocket, only discovered his
mistake when he tendered it for payment. It was refused of
course. A second time did lie thoughtlessly andunconsciously
tender it, and a second time did be receive it back again with
sundry apologies. Curiosity led him, on his return home, to
look at the deceitful coin, and applying his scientific know-
ledge, be dipped it—the coin we mean—in vitriolic acid.
roved Guess his surprise when he found that the brassy Brummagem-
looking little "varmint" pto be a real, genuine, un-
alloyed, golden half guinea of George the First's coinage!
This is a literal fact, but we hope it will not encourage our
pensive public to take bad nZ9neY
on the speculation that
may all turn out to be gold dn;,?:uised as in some fairy e
it
under some vile and counterfeit presen: merat.—Berks Chronicle.
PARISH REPORTS OF THE PCri..tT° Citcr. e
ents in
have received several corroborations of tLe
our last regarding the careless and delusivestcaltracter of
;n
rep_i.v to the
the reports sent in by many of. the clergy 't the
Lord Advocate's circular. If the returns througho,
country have been made out as they have been in m5..'137
cases in the neighbourhood of Edinburgh, they will only-
deceive the Government as to the actual state of the case. '
In one case, where the return by the minister is said to have
been favourable, one farmer (to take one instance among se-
veral) has lost 300 bolls by rot in his pits within three
weeks. The crop in the parish was generally pitted in ap-
parently good condition, and perhaps the minister, win.' is
said to have made a return of " no disease," might think that
it was certain to remain so—at all events, he never inquired.
It is discreditable that, in so important a matter, such culpa-
ble carelessness should be displayed.— Scotsman.
PUNSTER CASTLE, a Tale of the Great Rebellion,
by J. T. Hewlett, M.A., author of " Peter Priggins," " The
Parish Clerk,''&e.—This romance (observes the court Journal)
will be generally read. It is true to life and to nature; it is
full of character, and abounding in action and incident; it is
rich in knowledge of
the time to which its story belongs, and
finally every portion of it is put together with a skilful and
practised hand. The chief skill of Mr. Hewlett lies in paint •
ing truly the scenes of the life of the middle and lower classes,
and though the scenes of "Dunster Castle" are laid two hun-
dred years ago, those among them which appertain to the
classes in question by no means belie his well-merited reputa-
tion in this respect.
CHARGE OF MATRlClDE.—Yesterday, Mr. Payne,
the coroner, held an inquest at' the Sir John Falstaff
public-house, Kent-street, Borough, on the body of Mary
Horrabin, aged sixty-seven, who died on Saturday night, of
an injury which, it appeared, lead been•intlicted upon her per-
son by her son, John Horrabin, a labourer, aged twenty-two.
The jury returned a verdict of Manslaughter, and Horrabin
was committed to Newsate for trial
