SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
(FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.)
GLOBE.—When Pitt, in 1783, submitted his
scheme of Parliamentary Reform to the country, he
suggested a mode of dealing with delinquent bo-
roughs which seems to merit the consideration of
Parliament and the public under present circum•
stances. We have nothing to do with the sincerity
or insincerity of Pitt. When he made his
propoial he might, or he might not, have
been desirous of amending the deformities which
had grown to an unsightly bulk on the re-
presentive body. But we have to do with the
evil which deforms our present electoral system ; and
which, if not arrested in its course, will assuredly eat
into the very vitals of the electoral body, and make it
one unmitigated mass of loathsome rottenness. It
requires a firm nerve to operate upon an excrescence
so girntic—to employ the necessary process for ex-
tirpating so virulent a disease. No tampering, no
patching-up kind of treatment, will do in an emer-
gency so imminent. The mere skinning-over sort
of policy—timidly plastering over the peccant parts,
to hide the frightful ravages of the moral and political
leprosy from the public gaze, and thus endeavour to
conceal the spreading of the malady which threatens
to vitiate and corrupt the entire mass, will not do in
the present case. The probe must be applied with a
determination to reach the root of the disease.. The
public eye will be fixed with an intensity of gaze
upon the process, which will evince the deep
interest that is felt in the result of the operation.
Will the House of Commons agree to Mr. Roebuck's
zaetion for er Committee to ,inquire into the "compro-
mises," which haw prevented a disclosure before
Committees of the wholesale bribery alleged in the
numerous petitions against returns of Members to that
House ? We think it will. Will tbrit Committee de-
termine to bring to light the Ilidt'ou works of darkness
—will it compel a disclosurt., agencies by which
the compromise was brought :.bout—the inducements
to the "arrangements "—the tocms—the securities for
the due fulfilment of the.treaty ineach of the cases ? If it
do so, it will deserve well of the country • for Parliament
cannot delay the remedy, when the disease is shown
to be so virulent in its nature, and so extensive in its
range. If the Committee hesitate—if it shrink from
pursuing the inquiry, and shelter itself behind forms,
and entrench itself within precedents, in order to
avoid responsibility—then will the consequences of so
deep a disappointment to the public hopes rest upon
its head. Each member of such Committee, who con-
sents to cover the delinquency of candidate, agent, or
constitnency, will be justly regarded by his country
as an approver of system he endeavours to perpe-
tuate, by concealing its operations. _
STANDARD.—We do not remember many poli-
tical incidentsthat have excited the same de?ree of in-
terest created by Mr. Roebuck's motion. They who
are sincerely desirous of the stability of all estab-
lished institutions regard the event as one which, if
properly employed, may go far in securing the present
constitution of the 'country ; while the enemies of
order trust to the unwillingness of Parliament to let
in light upon its own construction as supplying
pretext and a means for further innovation. They
are fond of recollecting that the attempt to
save East Retford cost, as they think, sche-
dule A and schedule B, and they hope for the Bal-
lot and Universal Suffrage as the result of a refusal
of inquiry upon the present occasion. For our own
part, we will not disguise our witch that Mr. Roe-
buck's motion for inquiry may be successful, and
that inquiry may be prosecuted to the fullest extent.
There are difficulties, no doubt, in the way, but, hap-
pily, these are difficulties which may be overcome
without the slightest sacrifice of any principle deserving
of the least respect. The proposal deals with nothing
but those arrangements of convenience, which, for
want of a better name, we commonly call " conven-
tionalities." Now, conventionalities are very well
when they do not obstruct the path of justice, or
fence immoralities ; but when they do, " conventionali-
ties" ought to give way. It is a monstrous thing,
sal' some, that a Member of Parliament should be
questioned as to his mode of getting into the House
of Commons, or as to his motives for retir-
ing in favour of another gentleman. Question-
less, such interrogatories place some gentlemen in a
very awkward position, as Sir John Cam Hobhouse
can tell ; and if the House of Commons were merely
a club, possessing no influence upon any beyond the
persons composing it, there might be something in
the objection to this disagreeable inquiry, though even
in that case, if any means injurious to public morals
were resorted to in order to obtain admission, an
upright and resolute Magistrate would make it
the subject of investigation, despite the wounds
that he must necessarily inflict upon the rules of
courtesy. But the House of Commons is intended
to be something more than an agreeable club : it
is intended to influence the destiny of millions of
human beings, and of a mighty empire ; and
other considerations, auxiliary to the care for public
morals, require that its constituent Members be
elected by fair and incorrupt means. That the
great 'majority of the House are gentlemen re-
turned without a shade of bribery, every candid
man will admit. The county Members, without
exception, are so returned ; and we may say the same
pretty generally of the rural boroughs, some of which
we could instance that have returned gentlemen against
the will of the elected ; but these almost involun-
tary legislators are generally ultra-Tories, though
it has happened at the late election that some of them
hare, with a full knowledge of their character, been
returned by constituencies of what are called Liberal
principles—a tribute to private worth of which it is
hard to say whether the tribute is most honourable
to the giver or to the receiver. One has a pleasure
in contemplating such noble proofs of the natural dis-
postion of Englishmen,. and it is not foreign to the
matter in hand ; for we may be well assured that if
bribery could be effectually got rid of, cases like these
would be much more common, if not universal.

COURlER.—Although deprecating the bitter and
virulent tone of Mr. Roebuck's interrogatories, and
the necessarily partial character of the proceed-
ings he instituted on Friday night, for the pur-
pose of inquiring into and dragging to light the
debasing and corrupt processes whereby various Hon.
Members have obtained the privilege of sitting
and voting in the House of Commons, we cannot re-
fuse to the Member for Bath the meed of our appro-
bation on the grounds of stern impartiality- and good
intentions. That the "political Napoleon ' who took
Nottingham by storm at the last general election, the
purity-loving ex-President oPthe Board of Control, Sir
John Cam Hobhouse, owes nO deep obligations of gra-
titude to Mr. Roebuck, and will offer up no very fervent
aspirations for the, success of his motion this evening,
we can well imagine ; nay, that that very sagacious and
consistent specimen of Whig-Radicalism will exert all
his little power to defeat the motion and baffle the pro-
posed inquiry we can easily believe, deeply impressed as
we are with the conviction that the agencies by which
the election (election, indeed !) of himself and his
convenient umbra was carried, exceeded in glaring
and unblushing profligacy those brought into play in
any other city or borough in the United Kingdom.
Sudbury, he well knows, was bad enough ; Ipswich
was tolerably deep in the mire of corruption ;
neither Southampton nor Lewes had much reason
to boast of the purity and independence of their
respective constituencies ; but Nottingham far
transcended them all in the infamy and shame-
lessness of its election proceedings. In most of
the other places, the successful candidates contented
themselves with one species of foul agency; bribery,
quiet, silent, business-like bribery alone, obtained in
other towns ; but in Nottingham, bribery the most
gross—drunkenness the most disgusting—were aided,
supported, and accompanied, by the most ferocious
demonstrations of violence, intimidation, and club-
law. And hence it is that we have our misgivings as
to the cordiality of the reception Sir John Cam Hob-
house will give to Mr. Roebuck's motion for a Corn-
mittee'of Inquiry.

SPRING.—At this period of the year Cutaneous
Diseases very frequently occur, and thereby shows the
absolute necessity of preserving the skin in a pure and
healthy state, so that its functions may he duly per-
formed.—Obstruction of the Fluids through the pores of
the skin very often take place, and from the acrid and
ponderous particles which are left behind, the disordered
state of the secreting office is disturbed, and thereby
produces symptoms of great virulence, which are not
only distressing, but most unpleasing to the sight ; and,
above all others, when the face is attacked, the suffering
is often extremely great. In stating this well known
fact, we beg to call the reader's attention to that admi-
rable and unique discovery—ROWLAND'S KALYDOR, a
mild and most efficacious preparation, that dispels all ir-
ritability from the skin, gently assists in opening the pores.
relieves the secretions, and gradually establishes a white
and perfect skin of transparent beauty !

Lately the exhibition of Sevres porcelain, and
Gobelins and Beauvias tapestry, opened at the Louvre. Among
other interesting objects, seven windows of stained glass for the
chapels of Dreux and Compiegne, and the chateau d'Eu, and
two large carpets intended for the throne and concert-
rooms at the Tuileries, were much admired. There are also
tables, vases, and paintings on china, of beautiful workmanship.
Amongst the latter are 24 plates, representing maritime views,
which attracted great attention.

PORTUGAL.
Fatmouxn, MAY 6.—The Tagus steamer arrived here
this evening with the Peninsular mails, and after landing them
proceeded to Southampton. The packet Linnet sailed this
evening for the Brazils.
The Bremen brigantine, Wilhelmine and Sophie, arrived
here to-day from Rio de Janeiro for orders, with a full cargo of
coffee. She sailed on the let of March. This vessel has
landed. letters. We cannot learn anything new from the
captain.. Exchange was 281( to 4. The Pigeon packet from
England was daily looked for. On the Bth ult., in lat. 12
deg. 16 min. long. 41 deg. 7 min., spoke the Guernsey Lily,
of Jersey, from Rio de Janiero from the Channel for orders,
Yesterday, in lat. 49/1 deg. long. 70 deg. 50 min. spoke the
American packet ship Francois, from Havre for New York,
beating to windward.
Liseox, MAY 2.—The parties opposed to a commercial
treaty with England are endeavouring to rouse public feeling
against it, but without much success ; a few petitions from in-
dividuals interested in manufactories will, no doubt, be pre-
sented against any reduction of duties imposed by way of pro-
tection to their interests; but the object sought for by our '
Government is believed to be quite compatible with reasonable
protection to. the few articles that are manufactured to any
extent in Portugal, and the absolute necessity of relieving the
wine interests is felt too strongly and generally to admit of any
Government here yielding to senseless clamours against the
projected arrangements, by which, if liberally carried out, the
staple interests of Portugal will be so large gainers.
The Frerich Minister, M. de Varennes, had an interview,
a day or two since, with the Duke of Terceira, and expended
a greit'deal of eh/queue:it in erideivouring to dissuade the Duke
febm consenting ..to.a treaty with England, observing, that it
would be strange if, Portugal, after ,'having succeeded in a
great, measure in freeing heti& front the shackles of England,
were again -voluntarily to put them on, &c., &c. It is Said that
the only remark that fell from the Duke of Terceira was
‘' Voulex Vous ftimer un cigare ? "
In 1837, when the Ministry, of which Castro Pereira was a
member, and over which Dias de Oliveira presided, was hard
up, and driven. to its wit's end to sustain the revolution of
Septenlber, a Frei,cit loan was proposed, coupled with a treaty,
by which Portugal would have virtually ceded her islands and
colonies to a French company. The project was stopped in
limine by Baron Tojal, then finance minister, who, when it
was brought forward by Dias de Oliveira, declared that a mi-
nister whu should sign it deserved to be hung. The following
were the principal articles :
The loan to be for 20 millions of crusades, nominal capital,
for which five per cent, stock was to be given : the loan was to
be taken at 48, and would therefore have produced 9,600,000
crusades, or 960,0001. sterling ; but from this was to be de-
ducted two years' interest, at five per cent. on the nominal
capital, equal to 200,000/. ; and three per cent. commission on
the whole loan, er 60,000/. more, making the sum to be re-
ceived by Portual only 700,0001., to be paid in instalments as
might be agreed upon, for which she would have to pay
100,000/, per annum, secured upon the revenues of Madeira
and other islands ; an agent of the Company being empowered
to reside there and receive the same; and in case those reve-
nues should not suffice, the Portuguese Government was to
set aside some other funds for the specific purpose of making
up the deficiency. So much for the loan itself. Now for the
other part of the project. The trade of the colonies and islands
is ceded for twenty years to the Company.
Then follows an exact catalogue of every island, colony,
port, or other possession, held or claimed by Portugal in
Eastern or Western Africa arid the seas adjoining, including
the Cape de Verdes, Madeira, the Azores, &c.
By the 10th article it is declared that the ships of the Com-
pany trading to all the above islands, ports, &c., shall be put
on the same footing as national vessels, both as to imports and
exports, and shall be exempted from all duties on the merchan-
dise imparted and exported.
The Company to have a depot in Lisbon, and the goods
entering or going out to be subject to no duties, except they
were for consumption in Lisbon, when the regular duties on
consumption were to be paid. If the Company, instead of
bringing colonial produce, &c. to the depot at Lisbon, pre-
ferred carrying it direct to any other destination, a duty of two
per cent. on the cost price to be paid by them in such case.
The treaty to be ratified by the Chamber ; and in case its con-
ditions Were not complied with by the Government, the Corn-
i•any to receive an indemnity equivalent to any less thereby
accruing. .
At a time when French intrigue is employed to defeat our
treaty', founded on strict reciprocity, it is not irrelevant to
refer to the above one-sided project, and see how Portuguese
poverty would have been dealt with by French diplomacy. I
understand that Baron Lagos's proposals, although outvoted in
the Council of State, were postponed for further information,
and not altogether rejected. It appears that the opinions of
the Councillors present were equally divided, the Duke of Pal-
tuella, with the Patriarch, the Duke of Terceira, being viewed
as favourable to the plan, which was %trongly opposed by Senhor
R. F. Magalhaes, and objected to also by Senhor J. da S.
Carvalho and Count Villa Real. The Queen' asked very judi-
ciously, from what source the funds were to come to pay the
increase of dividend, supposing the creditors fell in with the '
proposition of exchanging their bonds for Portuguese Four per
Cent. Stock ? It appears that Baron Tojal's explanations were
not entirely satisfactory, and the Duke of Palrnella declared
himself not convinced of the feasibility of the scheme, which
was therefore postponed. It is quite out of the question that
any additional charge
_ can be met with the present resources of
the Government. Baron Tojal has some schemes of his own
for increasing the revenue, which have yet to be developet,
and, in case a considerable increase could be effected, the qiies-
tion would then assume a different shape; but before the new
scheme of conversion can be considered feasible, the requisite
endowment ought first to be provided and secured beyond a
doubt.

The list of new Peers is daily expected to come ottt. The
definitive choice of the Queen has not yet been made. The
Government has not made it a Ministerial question. Senhor
J. da Silva Carvelho will, it is said, be one ef the new Peers.
The 29th ult., Friday, was kept as a holiday, it being the an•
niversary of the charter being decreed by Don Pedro. The
Queen held a levee, which was numerously attended. Several
hundred naval and military officers dined together in the great
room of the Naval Arsenal on the occasion, the Duke of Ter-
ceira presiding. The commanders and some of the officers of
the Indus and Lynx and the French corvette were invited to
the dinner, which commenced at four and terminated at six,
r. sr., the whole assemblage going to San Carlos theatre after
the dinner. The Roeio, now called Praca de Pedro, was
illuminated at night by subscription. The Treasury, which
stood at the north side of the square, was destroyed by fire in
1836, but its walls are still standing, and the windows were
filled up with transparencies, and surrounded with severallrows
of lamps, and an illuminated portrait of the Queen was placed
in the centre of a star of lamps in front ef the building. The
idea of illuminating a ruined building, and particularly a ruined
treasury, seems rather a singular one, but the effect of the illu-
mination' was to all outward appearance brilliant enough.
Messrs. Alexander and Wiffin, twe members of the Com-
mittee of the British Anti-Slavery Society, who have been
travelling in Spain to promote the Anti-Slavery cause, came
here from Cadiz last week, and, having obtained letters of in-
troduction from Lord Howard de Walden to many of the most
influential personages in Lisbon, have had an opportunity
of impressing upon them the enormous evils of the slave trade,
and the importance of promoting the views of the Society with
respect to its total abolition, as well as that ef slavery itself.
They proceed to England to-day by the Tagus steamer.

LADVERTISEMENT.
IMPORTANT TO ALL THOSE WHO EXPECT TO DE-
RIVE BENEFIT FROM DRINKING SODA WATER.—Schweppe's
Soda Water is so universally known and appreciated, not only
throughout the United Kingdom, but throughout the civilised
world, that any enconium on its merits might appear super-
fluous ; but as since its original introduction, upwards of half
a century since, many imitators have started up, with more or
less claims to public patronage, .1. S. and Co. take the liberty
of reminding their friends and the public that the above Cele-
brated Water continues to be manufactured on the largest
scale and upon the most. scientific principles at their chief es-
tablishment, bl, Berners-street, London ; and also at their
three branch Manufactories in Liverpool, Bristol, and Derby;
and that consumers may be supplied with the genuine article at
most of the respectable Chemists, Confectioners, and Italian
Warehouses in every province of the United Kingdom. The
just reputation of their manufacture, and the consequent de-
mand for it, have tempted unprincipled persons (many of them
of apparent respectability) to practice a deception, against
which Schweppe and Co. are anxious to caution the public.
The deception referred to is that of passing off a spurious
article for " Schweppe's," by selling it in Schweppe's marked
bottll. The temptation to this is, the cheapness of the infe-
rior water, although in most cases the consumer is charged the
same. By this artifice a common water is surreptitiously
palmed upon the public for the genuine—the reputation of the
latter is prejudiced by the substitution of a bad article—and a
certain proportion of the public patronage diverted from its
legitimate channel. To obviate these several evils, Schweppe
and Co. have adopted the plan of placing a Red Label over
the cork of each bottle, representing the Royal Appointment
in the centre, and the name of their firm on each side, with-
out which none is genuine. Schweppe and Co. refer with
pride to the fact that they constantly supply the Royal Palaces
of London and Windsor, as well as the principal Nobility in the
three kingdoms; nor is the demand for their Soda Water less
constant on the continent and in other parts of the world.
Merchants and Shippers in general connected with the East
and West Indiei and our numerous Colonies are continually
transmitting orders received from their respective agents and
correspondents, and ihighly gratifying is the testimony
Schweppe and Co. are in the habit of receiving from gentle-
men returned from abroad, of the luxury afforded them by their
Soda Water when met within tropical climates, and of the high
condition in which it is generally found. The Water ordered for
foreign countries is manufactured with an express reference to
its destination, and it is well known that no other can equally
well endure the variations of climate. Schweppe's Lemonade
is an elepnt preparation of more recent introduction, but from
its refreshing and wholesome properties is rapidly getting into
extensive reputation. It is an effervescing draught of most
agreeable flavour, and made of the best materials, without re-
gard to cost. Physicians and medical men constantly recom-
mend it in cases of fever, &c., nor is it less desirable as an
article of luxury. Every genuine bottle will have a yellow
lable on its side, with the name and address of the firm.
Schweppe and Co. are the largest importers of the German
Seltzer Water, which they receive direct from the springs,
in quarts and pints, and which they offer to the public in the
original packages. N.B.—Export orders for all climates ex-
ecuted on the shortest notice.

After noticing the several not very favourable as-
censions made by M. Cosmachi, the aeronaut, in the autumn of
last year, from the Garden of Plants and the Rotonde des Brot-
teou at Lyons. the Courrier de Lyon gives an account of an-
other of his flights, the results of which were still more disas-
freus. It appears that M. Cosmachi, having gone to Turin
to exhibit his balloon during the fetes on the occasion of the
marriage of the Duke of Savoy, made a successful ascent to the

'i'HE MAGISTRATES OF SUNDERLAIOI3.
The Marquis of NORMANBY had to request the
attention of their Lordships , to a subject which he had
mentioned before they separated on Friday last. He
would, however, say one word, in the first place, as
to - the order of their proceedings. He found there
was a disposition shown the other night strictly to
adhere to a rule of the House, to which ho had
not seen much regard paid on former occasions. lie
had no objection to make upon that subject ; but he
owned that he had found the other night, with a feeling
of disappointment, mingled, perhaps, with other feelings,
that honourable men, who had come forward at the
earliest moment to repel unfounded accusations, had their
justification delayed by the backwardness of the Noble
Marquis (the Marquis of Londonderry) to bring
the question in any shape before the House ;
that Noble Marquis being their accuser, "to
%%horn, with a generous confidence, they had
trusted to make their defence as public as the charge.
lie had now only to call upon the Noble Marquis to make
good his former charge, or else to retract it. He should
read to their Lordships certain resolutions which had
been forwarded to him by those gentlemen—resolutions
which had been agreed to at a meeting of the Ma-
gistrates of Sunderland, at which Mr. Richard
Spoore presided, in the absence of the Mayor.—
(r. he Noble Marquis then read the resolutions in ques-
tion, which were to the effect, that the allegation that
the late Government had appointed a number of Magis-
trates who were all Whigs .was incorrect ; that the alle-
gation that the Magistrates had refused licences to
any but Whig voters was totally unfounded ;
that out of eleven parties to whom licenses had been
granted, four had voted for Lord Howick, • two for Mr.
Attwood, and the remaining five had not voted at all.)
Those Magistrates had also forwarded a letter to
the Noble Marquis, repelling, in the most re-
spectful manner, the charges he had made,
and that letter, it was stated by tho Noble Marquis, had
been forwarded to him by certain gentlemen, all
of whom were Whigs. Now what would he
thought of the knowledge of the Noble Mar-
quis on the subject of the Magistracy of the county
over which he presided as LorLieutenant, when the
Hoitse was informed that the Mr. Spoore who had
signed the letter to the Noble Marquis Av as a Con-
servative ?—(Hear, hear.) The Noble Marqui had
refused to do justice at once to those parties.
The Noble Marquis need not have expressed any opi-
nion,ou •the subject, but having done so, he was bound
to give the same publicity to the answer as to the ac-
cusation. But the most important part of the case was,
that the Noble Marquis had made an accusation
against the Magistrates that they had refused licenses
to every person not of their political opinions.
To ascertain the justice of the accusation it was neces-
sary to know who were the parties applying for such
licenses. Of sixteen licenses applied for eleven
were refused, and of those refused, a majority of
two to one were those who voted for Lord 'roma;
four voted for Lord Howick, and two for Mr. Att-
wood ; the other five had no votes. The Mayor
of Sunderland was Sir Hedworth Williamson,
the late Member for the northern division of the county,
and High Sheriff, and those who knew him must feel
that there never existed a person less likely to be a party
to any such proceeding. He had constantly acted as
Chairman of the Quarter Sessions, and he had autho-
rised him to say, that no licenses had ever been
refused on the ground of politics.—(Hear, hear.)
Besides, Sir Hedworth Williamson had assured him that
he never heard such a thing discussed as the granting
or withholding licenses.c.n party grounds. If the Noble
Marquis opposite had heard -thee party feeling was
allowed to prerail in any such way, it was his
duty to • have made such representations as
I would -' procure ! the immediate dismissal of those
gentlemen from the Magistracy, . instead of recom-
mending that an equal number of the opposite
party should be sent. to job the other way.—(Hear, hear.)
He thought that the Noble Marquis had shown great
credulity, and had been greatly imposed on. His lend-
ing himself to the injurious aspersions upon those gen-
tlemen, of whom he ought, in his capacity of Lord Lieu-
tenant of the county, to be on all occasions the careful
superintendent, and when they were unjustly accused,
or grossly maligned, the steady protector and earnest vin-
dicator—showed that the Noble Marquis was not fit to 6.11
the office which he held. This was more completely proved
by the determination which he had shown (notwithstande
ing the • conclusive proofs which he had received of the
unfounded character of his statements) not to do
those gentlemen even tardy. justice. .He had the
greatest respect for the private character of the
Noble Marquis, and in expressing himself so
strongly -now, he was not doing anything inconsistent
with that respect, or with the usages of Parliament.
He then put the question to the Noble Marquis, of which
he had given notice, whether he was disposed to retract
or adhere to the accusation which he had made against
the Magistrates of Sunderland ?
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said he had Hs-
tended with the greatest attention and respect to the
speech of the Noble Marquis, and he thought the Noble
Marquiss's desire must have been to have a run at her
Majesty's Government, and the latter part of it was cer-
tainly to arm an opposition to her Majesty's prero-
gative, which he ought not to have mixed up with
his statement of evidence.—(Hear' hear.) It seemed aq
though,' after the reply the Noble Marquis had received
from the Noble and Learned Lord on the Woolsack, he
had armed himself And come down to that House for
a determined attack upon the humble individual who then
addressed them. He (the Marquis of Londonderry) hoped
before he satdown to be acquitted from the charge brought
against hint by the Noble Marquis. To commence, he
must undoubtedly declare that he was a little hurt at the
want of courtesy of the Noble Marquis the other evening.
Had it been the intention of the Noble Marquis to have
asked him.(the Marquis of Londonderry) any question, he
certainly might have given ,him notice, either in the
morning or even in • the evening of that day, in order
that he (the Marquis of Londonderry) might have been
prepared to answer the question. He could
not see why the Noble Marquis did not
read 'the conclusion of the communication he
had received—the postscript. In his (the Marquis of
Londonderry's) copy of the communication, the post-
cript ran ." a copy of the resolutions has been forwarded
to Lord Normanby, as also Sir Hedworth Williamson,
who is now in town."

The Marquis of NORMANBY—That could not have
been addressed to me, because it refers to my letter.
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said the Noble
Marquis must allow him to give his reasons why he did
not volunteer this statement on a former evening. Now
as Sir lledvvorth Williamson was in towis,-he might have
called upon him (the Marquis of Norinanby) to have
given him some explanation. This subject had been dis-
cussed'on the 30th of April, and he (the Marquis of
Londonderry) bad received a letter from Sunderland on
the 23d. The. letter stated that the appointments in
Sunderland were all Whigs, and there was still a ma-
jority of two in favour of the Whigs. In Gateshead
there were two Conservatives under the appointment of
the late Government, and now there were four. The
Noble Marquis then read the names of the Magistrates
is Sunderland. From this it would appear that ten
were declared Whigs. He still believed his authority,
and was he therefore not justified, having received this
communication on the 23d April, in making the state-
ment he did ?

The Marquis of LONDONDERRY had no objection
if the Efouse wished it.—(No, no.) He, the Marquis
of Londonderry) had received a letter last night, in
which was., this passage—" I have just learned that
Mr. Spopre, who sent the information to your Lordship,
has pretended to be ajConservative."—(Loud laughter.)
If this
.was true it was very laughable.—(Roars of
laughter.) The letter went on to state that Mr. Spool*
had voted for the Whig candidates at_ the last election.

The meeting at which the resolutiOnS Were passed wits
confined to Whig Magistrates, or the Conrervativcs
were not admitted. The name of his (the Marquis
Londonderry's) correspondent was Wright, a. very re-
: apeetable solicitor, and One who knew more
of the country than any other . man.—(Hear.)
The letter proceeded to state that both Spoore and
White were odd Conservatives. They had voted some-
times on that side—but had lately acted for
the most part as Whigs. The last allegation
of his, to which those gentleman replied was,
that they had rejected applications for licenses
en party grounds. Now, he had never said that
the Magistrates were such fools as to refuse li-
censes avowedly on party grounds. What he did
say was (as far as his recollection served him),
that they had used the power and influence
of their office for party purposes ; and the only
paper which put the same interpretation as the
Noble Marquis put upon his language was the
Morning Chronicle, which never treated him with
candour. Those gentlemen met his allegation by
stating that one of the five licenses granted was
to a Conservative named White, and another
to a widow, who had no political interest.
But they did not say that she had no friends
who had political interest —(A laugh) nor
did they say one word about the petitions of the other
three persons who obtained licenses. Could their Lordships
expect that he should come down to the House,and on toe
strength of such a refutation, apologise to those gentlemen
fur havinB made erroneous statements ?—(Hear, hear.)
the Noble Marquis had made so vigorous an
attack upon him, he would give the whole of the
information he had rec..ived, although he was
very unwilling to take up the time of their Lordships.
The Noble Marquis then read extracts from a letter,
which stated that at the last quarterly meeting of the
Council a Whig Quaker, named Hill, produced the
Morning Chronicle, and read the paragraph from his
speech, on which the Noble Marquis had founded the
attack upon him. The Quaker then appealed to the
Council to vindicate the character of the Magistrates ;
but some Conservatives who were present said that the
report was incorrect, as it differed from all the other
papers, and, besides, that the matter was one with
which the Council had nothing to do. The meeting at
which the resolutions had been agreed to was, he con-
tended, a hole-and-a-corner meeting, at which the Con-
servative Magistrates had not assisted. The Whig Ma-
,gistrates were thus judges in their own. cause ; and,
,under those circumstances, he was not prepared to admit
that the former statements he had made were wrong.
No, satisfactory justification had, in his opinion, been
ye.t given by the Magistrates, of whose conduct he had
ci.n.nplained. He would leave the matter for the present
-,:o the judgment of their Lordships. If it should be
pro4d, hereafter, that he was in error, ha. would be
ready to inake the fullest retractation. He thought he
. had some reason to complain of the manner in which
the Noble Marquis had brought the charge against him
that evening, The Noble Marquis was perhaps
anxious to see if he could not " floor" him;
but he should be sorry .to find that political
ditferences put an end to these friendly relations
which had formerly subsisted between him and the Noble
Marquis. In the statements he had made relative to
the Magistrates, he begged to say that he had no inten-
tion of bringing forward any charges against the Noble
Duke whom he had succeeded in the office of Lord
Lieutenant of the county of Durham. All that he had
to say in conclusion was, that he had newer been and
never would be a calumniator or a liar.

The Marquis of NORMANBY begged to put it to
the Noble Marquis, that he had entirely forgotten the
whole of the question, which was as to the source of his
Information. The Noble Marquis had said that the
Magistrates had used their authority for party purposes
in the granting and refusing of licenses. He had asked
fur the authority on which that statement was made.
The Noble Marquis gave no answer, and before. he (Lord
N.) would make any further observation,he wished to give
him an upportunity of answering the question.
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY tho aght he had
given the fullest answer, and had shown that; the Magis-
trates had done like other Magistrates of other politics,
and used their magisterial functions for panty purposes.
—(Hear, hear.)
.The Marquis of NORMANBY said that .the Noble
Marquis has used the very words he said we re errone-
ously attributed to him by the Morning Clronicle.—
(Hear, hear.) But, on the part of those geinti Lumen, he
indignantly denied the imputation. The Nolbb r Marquis
had no authority for his statements, and he (?Lord Nor-
manby) heard his explanation, although it tel :cited the
merriment of their Lordships, with great p: an, for the
sake of the Noble Marquis himself.—(Hi is .r, hear.)
During the Lord-Lieutenancy of the Duke of ''Cleveland,
twenty Magistrates were appointed for the .county of
Durham, and of these there were eight Torim a to twelve
Whigs—the whole number of the Magistracy being 194,
of whom 114 were Tories to 80 Whigs. T 1 el it was the
enormous disproportion of which the Nobl a Marquis
complained, as being created by the Whig Gm n fernment.
—(Hear, hear.) The Noble Marquis had spm )ken of a
highly respectable gentleman, as not corm( ted with
'Sunderland ; but he could inform the Noble Marquis,
that that gentleman was connected with tip, borough
previously, as the Noble Marquis himself (Lord London-
derry) was—namely, by marriage.—(Hear, an .sl a laugh.)
The Duke of WELLINGTON said, that Ihe Noble
Marquis had a large property in the county ,„ and con-
sidering the services he had rendered to th, county of
Durham and the country, he (the Duke of V jellington)
thought that the attack upon the Noble 313 'crquis and
upon the Government for having selected the Noble
marquis for the office of Lord-Lieutenant of the county
of Durham, and that attack founded on the Noble
Marquis's recent resignation of the office of A ambassador
to St. lietersburgh, he did think that it was nm 22_, right or
fair, particularly on that occasion. He (th 3. Duke of
Wellington) would make one more observe tion. He
quite agreed with his Noble Friend (the Noble Marquis)
that he was quite right in volunteering to cow a.! forward
and state the subject of his letter. Lie did m tr think it
was Parliamentary to call upon Members of t hat House
to explain anything 'that had fallen from Al embers of
_Parliament, either in the heat of debate, or otherwise.
If injustice had been done, it was the commc em practice
for time person to come-forward and make atom 'gement, if
that injustice had been done by any stateme a tin Par-
liament ; but it Was not the practice to ask . fc .r an ex-
planation of words spoken in the House of L » •ds, that
explanation to be given at any moment it wa a thought
proper to be called for.. He thought it right tto make
these few observations, and, in conclusion, he w c iuld say,
that. a more judicious appointment had not be le n made
than that of the Noble Marquis.
Their Lordships then adjourned.
