PUBLIC OPINION.

The Chronicle, alluding to some recent agricultural
meetings, and the spirit displayed at them, says—
" Thank Heaven, these illusions are gradually pass-
ing away. Agriculturists and manufacturers are be-
ginning to discover that they need not gaze upon each
other, like antagonistic Indian braves,' each with
tomahawk in hand, and whom nothing can appease
but the possession of each other's scalp. Arrogant
claims are no longer put forth for agriculture, as if it
were an interest which could live and flourish though
Leeds, Manchester, Glasgow Liverpool, and Sheffield
were sent to the bottom of the sea. And in the pro-
portion in which agriculturists admit the claims o
manufactures and commerce, so will they find that
manufacturers are ready to concede to British agri-
culture its just importance, and, with unfeigned and
unaffected readiness, to admit that it, constitutes a
prime element of British greatness and glory. We
do not know that we need go about to adduce proof
of the prevalence of this better spirit, for every agricul-
tural meeting exhibits it."
The Post reverting to the question of free• trade,
observes :—" We are straining after the supply of
foreign countries with British manufactures, at the
very time that foreign countries have resolved to
manufacture for themselves, and to exclude our manu-
factures as much as possible. 'We know that, not-
withstanding this, the Minister has said that he sees
no way out of the difficulties of the manufacturing
classes but in the extension of foreign trade, and
knowing this, how can we hope that the Parliament
will take any other view ? But we must say, that
in the present state of the world, to rest one's sole
hope upon the extension of foreign markets, for the
produce of British industry, seems to us much about
as comforting a state of things as if,, on the 22d of
June, one should rest one's hope on the extension of
the length of the days. No ; we should trust to
something far more within our own power than the
extension of foreign markets. How can we control
the determinations of this foreign country or of that,
which may tell us it has no wish to deal with us ?
Why should we put ourselves at the mercy of foreign
Governments ?"

Speaking of Lord Lyndhurst's Law Reforms, the
Herald expresses itself as follows :—" It is doing no
injustice to Lord Chancellor Lyndhurst's great merits,
either as a judge or as a statesman, to assert that his ex-
ertions as a law reformer are not equal in value and
importance to his judicial and political services. The
Noble Baron has, doubtless, saved the country from
much crude and hasty legislation, projected for the
removal of defects in the administration of the law ;
he interposed when Lord Langdale suddenly signalised
his newly acquired, some say enforced coronet by an
attempt to sweep away the present equity institutions
and substitute a philosophical-looking scheme of his
own ; he checked Lord Cottenham's well-intended
efforts when they occasionally verged on extravagance
or rashness; he rehuked the absurd crotchets of plain
John," now Lord Campbell, and he has prevented
the establishment of local courts until every doubt is
removed that cheap law means cheap justice.
One qualification Lord Lyndhurst does not however
possess; and it is resolution to accomplish the diffi-
cult task. Its want may proceed from age, love of
ease and quietude, hopelessness of success, or the ab-
sence of high moral motive • but the want is obrious.
These improvements, indeed, which cannot be de-
layed, or which the labours of others have prepared
for his adoption, Lord Lyndhurst has adopted, and
will again adopt; but he wrestles not with' the giant
himself, his heart is not in the cause; and though he
abhors the abominations of the Equity Courts as much
as the sternest reformer, and regrets the practical in-
justice that is perpetrated by their continuance, still
has not Lord Lyndhurst the energy and the industry
to remove the abuses, rectify the defects, and improve
the good points of the system."
lECCLESIASTICAL.

The Tories of St. Pancras having it in intention, by
a sort of side-process, to perpetuate Church-rates in
that parish, the churchwardens called the attention of
the Vestry to this fact on Wednesday, when a Com-
mittee was in consequence appointed to watch and
oppose the proposed Bills in every stage, which the
former party are about to present to- Parliament upon
this score.

The Rev. T. Robinson, the new morning preacher
at the Foundling, was travelling companion and chap-
lain to Bishop Heber. He was subsequently pro-
moted to the Archdeaconry of Madras, which he re-
signed two or three years since.
Archdeacon Pakenham, brother-in-law of the
Duke of Wellington, is spoken of as the new Bishop
of Cashel and Waterford, in the room of the deceased
Dr. Sandes. Dr. Daly and Archdeacon Torrens are
mentioned as his opponents.
