ire them, and himself prop Izatl abo.

It is to be expected of Sir B. PEEL that he ,should
treat the present condition of the country withthe calm
and unbiassed comprehension of a sage. It is no 2 arty-
question. It concerns the safety of property as 1412 V U.
the rescue of the multitude from misery. It is his Intl -
ness to get information from all quarters. He must;
have, or ought to have, and we haveno doubt.he hat,
reports and letters from confidential persons, magis-
' trates, clergymen, and others residing in the manufaetu-•
ring districts ; he has sent thither several agents ; and.
he is, or ought to be, as well acquainted with their con-.
dition as any one of the Delegates now in town. H
.bas at his command the whole information gathered ba-
the Poor-law Commissioners, and he knows that, lade-
pendent of casual relief, and relief given out of local.
funds, there are in England Sand Wales alone nearly
1,200,000 paupers. He must know whether the state-
ment lately made by Sir B. Ham,. that one person out,
of every twenty in the wealthy pariLli of Marylebone is
receiving relief be currect or not. Ili' must be aware,
as we have heard, that there is scarcely o.ne metropolitan
parish which does not at present suffer frt. m a great in-
crease of pauperism. With these vast resources 'at .his
command lie cannot need any fastruction from the Daft-
gates on the terrible condition of :he people.
How disingenuous, then, is it in Sir 11. PEEL, how,
unlike a sage, bow unworthy of a statesman, but how-
like a party chief, and how suitable to a nisi. Arius,
pleader, how well aiiapted to an Irish scholar contesik-
int; for a rhetorical prize. when he knows so well how-
' deep and almost universal is the distress, to catch the
Deputies, when they were describing t, him the desti-•
tution at Liverpool. with " Has not the trade increased?'
Have the exports fallen off 2"—to refute the Members
for Manchester by the information that " five new mills
were building," and that "more cotton had been coilsvmed
in the first half of the present year than in the past half
of the last year ;" and to make out a case against tlre
manufacturers and the unhappy people, by referring teo
the effects of machinery, in depriving them of work..
Supposing it quite correct that ihe use of machinery'
lessens employment, while it is potitively and glaringly
incorrect ; supposing it true, that the cotton con-
sumed in the first half of 1542 was snore than was,
consumed in the last half of 1841, though Mr. ConuE
clearly pointed out the deceitfulness of that Aatement
supposing that five new mills were laid down, and bad
will it be for England while all the world around her is
improving when no new mill shall be erected, And
when no new machinery is brought into use ; and sup-
posing that the exports from Liverpool have increased.,
though that be caused, as Mr. HEYWORTII showed, by•
the want of a market at home ;—to make such pet-
tifogging statements in reply to descriptions of distress„
which Sir ROBERT PEEL knows to be correct, is dits--
graceful to the Prime Minister of suffering Engload-
He did not even gain the advantage of a party triumph by-
making them ; they were speedily refuted, and only
served to convince the public that he is still the mere,
partizan of a faction, and not the leading mind on,
which, in this time of trouble, this great and mighty
nation can rely. He is not a CHATHAM nor a WAle
POLE ; he 13 only a well-drilled Treasury sub, elevated
by Chance to the post of Prime Minister.
The Tory Press treats the great and importoat
question of the condition of England, not more worthily
than the Premier. One journal describes the dis-
tress as a " dainty dish," which a "defeated faction"'
serves up; and can find in the vast woe of our people:
only a theme for vilifying Mr. O'CoNNELL. Falsely,
too, does the Herald ascribe to the Conservative party
a full and firm reliance on Providence, on whom that
party relies so little, that it says, unless the farmers be
bribed to labour, by giving them the property of other'
men, the community will not be fed. The peouliarcharac
teristic of the anti-free-traders is, that they have no
confidence in Nature, and must impiously regulate and
provide for every part of society. The free-tiliders, on
the contrary, rely firmly on Providence, and t.'ey ask
the removal of abiiurd restrictions and so-called I.,Tutec-
tion, as the means of making society prosperous. Our
opponents treat the national calamity es a mere petti-
fogging party matter, and are at once erroneous am'
puerile.
Another of the Tory journals can findno better way
to;Oet; out of the:dilemma in which its ambitious but
imbecile friitukareinvolved,. than in ttneing out a con-
trddie(ion hetWeevi',)klr. COBDEN and Mr, iitiomaeziTon,

miti.l447 displaces labour, in n hht way does the Corn-
lati,eniplOy it, or improve the condition of the labourer ?
It does not employ the displaced labourer in agriculture,
fur hitherto the stream of emigration has been from the
rural into the town districts. It makes no provision what-
ever for him; but when his employment is lessened, and
his wages lowered, the Corn-law adds to the price of his;
loaf and diminishes the quantity of fool he can com-
mand. The effects falsely ascribed to machinery by the
Tor:es, were their statement true, would be no justifica-
tion whatever of their conduct in withholding food from
the people ; nor do they exonerate the Legislature from
the awful responsibility of the present condition of tbo

country.
Let our Contemporaries then, and let the Prime;
Minister, cast away such trivial unworthy party views,.
and bend theL
r minds sternly and incessantly to a con-
templation of the present condition of the country, and
the means of devising a cure for the present distress.
Great alarm for the Safety of property exists in the
manufacturing districts. Violence is apprehended, and
there is no safety for any Atkss as long as the multitude.
are neither well occupied nor well Ad. Something
must be done, to relieve the distrt."o of the people. Only
the worst enemies of the aristocracy-wish .to continue
for they see in it, should it remain mireriresscd, the slow
and certain means of attaining their cildi through a
violent revolution.

011 Wednesday night, Tt
whi s the fete was progress—
ing at Jesus
College, Cambridge, the Duke of Cambridge, who.
was amongst the
crowd,
lost the star from his breast, which iv
said to be worth bOO guineas. The announcement of the lamp
created a great sensation, it being generally supposed that an
expert thief had stolen ft. The police made a most minute
search. and at a late hour of the night, after the Duke of Cam-
retired, the star was found in the gardens of the
Sergeant Langley. It had been trodden cm, and
etlbilie diamonds were lost from it, otherwise the damage
ItbC;caoiosdllgeongerot h
extensive. The officer immediately proceeded to the
Duke's temporary residence, and restored the star to his Royal
Highness, who expressed great satisfaction at the vigilance of
the officer.

It is said that in the event of the Sudbury Disfran-
chisement Bill passing the House of Lords, Sir Robert Peel
intends to propose that an additional Member each be given to
Middlesex and to Liverpool ; but, as Lard Brougham stated
last night that the Lords could not pass such a Bill without
taking evidence, and he will no doubt find many supporters, the
Bill will probably be extinguished in the Upper House.
Lord Sidmouth having resigned the High Steward-
ship of 'Westminster, the Dean and Chapter have appointed
the Duke of Buccleueh as his Lordship's successor, and his
Grace has signified his acceptance of the Ace.
