NEWSPAPER STAMPS.

Dr. BOWRING moved for a return of the number of
stamps issued to the different newspapers in the months
of October, November, and December last, and a return
of the amount of advertisement duty paid by each.—

MEETING OF TORY MEMBERS.
A meeting, as is reported, took place this (yesterday)
morning, at Mr. Escott's house, of the Duke of Buck-
ingham s Members to deliberate and determine upon
the course to be adopted by them with reference to their
duty to their illustrious head. There were present,
the two Members for Winchester, the three Mem-
bers for Bucks (co.), the two Members for Ayles-
bury, and the two Members for Buckingham. So far
as the proceedings of the meeting have transpired, we
are enabled to state that the utmost cordiality pre-
vailed. The bold and decisive conduct of the Duke of
Buckingham was warmly eulogised ; and a resolution
was adopted to the effect that those who owed
their seats to his Grace's influence, were bound to
enforce, by their speeches and votes in the House
of Commons, his Grace's policy. That, while on all
other questions the most effective support would be
given to the Government, to the projected change in
the Corn-laws the most decided and uncompromising
opposition would be given. It is further rumoured
that Sir Thomas Fremantle considers himself bound
in honour to follow the example of his patron ; as the
former resigned the Privy Seal, and thus withdrew
from the Cabinet, on this great question, so the Hon.
Member for Buckingham regards himself as bound to
resign his place as Secretary to the Treasury, to show
that he, like the Duke whom he represents in the House
of Commons, is " the farmers' friend."
Mr. Bonham is spoken of as the new Secretary of
the Treasury—tb be appointed so soon as he can obtain
a seat in Parliament, for which he is anxiously looking.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
FROM THE EVENING. PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.
GLOBE.—There is discord already in King Agra=
mont's camp. The dupes are finding out that they
are dupes, as we told them they would, long ago.
The organs of monopoly in the press are repeating
what the mouthpiecei of monopoly in the House
were muttering last Friday evening. " A sovereign
shame so elbow'd them," as they elbowed each
other, and sat marking the subdued but significant
hints of desertion of their cause by the Premier, that
they have ever since been denouncing him as about
to repeat the game of 1829, and abandon their
acres„as he betrayed their religion. The landed organs,
London and provincial, seem tending towards the
same course. The Herald grumbles " If, in addition
to the impolicy of considering the Corn-law as an iso-
lated subject, there are indications of a design to cow-
sider that law improperly, then ought the sensitiveness
of the nation to be doubly aroused." The Bucks
Gazette, his Grace of Buckingham's particular organ,
thus accounts for his resignation :
" The Duke of Buckingham pledged himself to the
agriculturists to maintain, in or out of office, such an
amount of duty on foreign corn as he considered aie-
quate protection to the home grower. Now, had such
en amount been proposed and carried in the Cabinet
as the Noble Lord deemed protection, he would, of course,
have assented to it, and remained a Cabinet Minister.
The fact of his resignation suffices to prove that the re-
duced scale proposed was not protective in the Duke's
estimation, and that therefore he resigned. The agricul-
tural body have much to regret in this result, for it augurs
no good to their interest, by which the Duke has stood
unflinchingly and consistently since he first commenced
his public career, We shall not speculate on the pre-
cise objections made by his Grace to the scale proposed,
but we may be sure that, with his desire to preserve the
unity and strengthen the plans of a Conservative Admi-
nistration, he would have given way had such a course
been consistent with his determination to stand by the
farmers. And we do fear that when the reduced slid-
ing scale' shall be made public, that the agriculturists
will soon detect the grounds of the Duke of Bucking-
ham's refusal to acquiesce in it."
Another Buckinghamshire paper, in the Liberal in-
terest, the Aylesbury News, gives the foißowing account
of the effect produced on the Tories of that county by
his Grace's resignation
The Buckinghamshire Tories, ever since Tuesday
last, havelooked dreadfully chapfallen and disconsolate.
Whether this is because they fear that they have lost
a share of the Government patronage, or because they
fear that they are again to be ' sacrificed ;' or because
they dread the effect of the change in developing the
character of their ducal leader, and causing disaffection
i their ranks, we cannot say. It is certainly true that
t:ie Tories of this county, whatever the country gene-
rally may think of the affair, feel the resignation of the
Duke of Buckingham to be a heavy blow and great dis-
couragement to them and their hopes. What the effect
may be on the constitution of the great Tory party in
t'ais county, time will show. To us it is a matter of deep

STANDARD.—Who does not remember the so-
lemn warning given against the prosecution of
Affghanistan war by the greatest military authority
living, or that ever lived—by one, too, who had spell
his youth and formed his manhood, and reapeo
his first laurels, destined to be overshadowed by tir
brightest wreath that ever adorned a conqueror 5
brow, in Asiatic war ? Who does not remember tllle
Duke of Wellington's solemn and earnest, and. I"'
most angry remonstrance against the prosecution
of hostilities at a distance so remote from our re-
sources as Central Asia ? We cannot pretend
do
recal his Grace's words—and at the moment we au
not know where to look for. them. This was, how-
ever, the spirit of the warning :—" You will succeed
in the first instance ; of that there can be no doubt,
when you have British officers and British troor;
but to what will your success- conduct you ?
will you, at such a distance from your resource
try,
muster a force large enough to occupy the coun
or how will you bring back so large a force in safety 9,11110
with honour ?" This was the warning given t
Duke of Wellington; a man whose transcendln.
iv
military genius those who have most freclugntit
questioned his views in civil policy admit w"":"
reserve—a man who, often blamed for sacrifielbn.9
party interests to a sense of duty, determined 1101,
personal judgment, has never been even once 8,0
petted of proffering an opinion for a factious or e%
a party purpose. This was the warning
and importunately pressed by such an authority n,e
such a man. It was despised by, we firmly, beliesoi
the only individuals living sufficiently destituteiate
modesty and wisdom to despise it. The the
Ministers despised the military authority of 1573
Duke of Wellington, and now the country 13-s-Ve
