in the following just and energetic manner :

Of,the higher ranks has been understood- to be derived from
ttke influence which their rank, property, and character gave
them with the classes under them. It was the publicans,

timFejm. We lament the turn which things hare long been
taking. We cannot shut out eyes to the crisis to which we are

inevitable, We lament to see this insidious attempt to de-
Kiyit.the Gentlemen of F.ngland of the support of the people.,

[New Times:]
If the impudent hilsiticationi of notorious fact by The
Times. Had tint Cc:tied-10 excite surprise, we might have been
someWhat'astonished at the gravity with which that Journal
talks of "the magnitieenete of Wednesday's procession.—
" f.'rery thing of human magnificence," it seems, falls.short-.
of an immense crowd looking with much indifference upon as
meagre and shabby. a cavalcade as perhaps even attended
upon a Royal Personage. " Tinge were no Lord Chamber-
lains" says toe sagacious Editotonsd truly if he had expressed
himself in the singular, he would have hit-upon one ne-
gative feature of decency at least in the exhibition.—
There was no LortiChamberlain Bergami; the people. of
E.nglarid were not inStilted by the sight of • that. ennobled va-
gabond; but his sister, his useful and convenient sister, it is
said, was there, as Well as. other members of the Italian

lish Peeress; but. in their stead Counts from the halberts' and
Countesses front the washing4ab. Her • Majesty is •of &
haughty and imnerious spirit. How deeply she felt the
degradation .being shunned by the Nobility of • Eng-
land, • before het 'departure from this Country, we learn
from the spe-tele of her Attorney-General. Must it
not
.be doubly cutting to her now to find that she is -still
more- cautiously shunned, even at the moment of her
proceeding to return thanks for her acquittal ! Wills
all her eccentricities, it is allowed that her mind, though ut-
terly uneducated, is quick and penetrating. Sbe could not
therefore for annouent deceive herself into the belief-that the
crowd's she saw consisted of the eduCated and well-informed
cla,s'es of society. • They were many of them very hottest
well-disposed people ; but the great mass were mechanics .and
day-labourers, miseirwith some feve,of the better sort of
tradesmen. Her Majesty cannot delude herself with the 110•

together by mere curiosity, is the slightest test•of the real,
permanent, effectiee Public Opinion-of England. She might
as well • fancy joseph Hume a Gentleman, S.r Gerald
Noel a Wit, or these and their four worthy colleagues,
a fit ,ailtl adequate representation of the House of com-
mons. The notorious fact is, that the 'pr cession went
off as flat as it is possible to conceive any thew of the kind to
have done; bill t he; Times,which last year told us that I-I tines'
triumphal entry into London was the grandest spectaclelever

tion to-find new terms of magnificence for. her Majesty's
ex-
hibition.. The consequence is truly laughable. What should
be great they turn to farce. The strange and motley collee,
tints of steeds of all sorts and sizes, and riders of all habit's'
and appearances, is denominated " a mighty and well orna-
mented cavalcade," and in proof of their heroic fitness to

If we could he surprised at any thing that appears in a
Ministe'rial newspaper, we should indeed feel surprise and
astonishment at the cool effrontery With which a writer for
one of the Evening. Treastny Prints asserts that the proces-
sion.which conveyed the. Queen to St. Paul's Cathedral on
WeelneEd.y, was " one of the most Meagre and miserable dis-
plays that the people of the metropolis have been called ford'
to witness."' If, in the performance of a most painful part of
tiny duty te(the public, we were not accustomed to observe in
the Paper to which we allude, a systematic principle of falsity,
a shameless disregard of truth, and an habitual contempt for
public opinion, we shbuld be astonished that any writer
could thus venture to utter an assertion which might at once
receive a direct contradiction from at least 200,000 persons.
The Editor of the Paper knows, however, that he unr't en-
deavour at all hazards to deceive the people in the country
respecting the state of public opinion in the metropolis. The
lie, if told stoutly, may produce an impression somewhere,
antt the character of a 'Paper so often convicted of falsehood
cannot stiffer Much in public estimation by an additional
proof grits talent for deceit. Besides;the Paper will tor the
Most part be eet.i only by the retainers of the Ministerii, who
will readily swallow any ;assertion, however hazardous, that

[Morning Beridd.)
It is conMlently rumoured, ilitl we believe it to be highly
probable, that there will be a change in the Ministry, but to
no very.tuaterm extent. .

From Germany there is notbiqg but confirmations of war
upon Naples, redoubled activity in the Aulic Councils, and
fresh reinforeements ordered to Italy. On the other band, the
Neapolitaus, if they are us brave as their words, will give the
Austrians, a warm reteptiOn. A' 'pamphlet published at
Naples, and Cut Cites cierono o ei foram
la perra"—(Wilt they let us be quiet, or will they make war
upon us ?) has reached us. It professes to state the military
system of the initioa. It is in substance this :—" The Parlia-
went will declare the war national. The troops of, the line,
militia, and armed citizens, will fly to the
.defence of .the
country. They will tight " like lions"—for they Will fight for
freedonn• If they lose the frontier of the Abrirzzi'they will
fall back upon the second flue, which, covers tire' capital.
New levies will crowd to the ranks, whilst those of the Aus-
trians are thinned by fighting and garrisoning.—Let even the
second line be lost, with the capital itself, the Kilig and his
Government will thank the Generals who shall not have
despaired Of the safety of the Stole, retire upon the Calabrias,
and there give the enemy thensual reception." We fear this
is too much in the ancient Roman style—yet, if the people of
Naples .are really worthy of being, free, they have the. means
of. freedom. There is ground of successful resistance stated
iii the pamphlet which we passed over above. It is, that when
the torch of war is once kindled, the, flame will instantly
spread; not only within the strict limits of the scene of ac-
tion, bat through almost all Italy, (rum the Alps to the
