Position to both parties, especially to the Premier."
We take the following from the Manchester Guardian :—" It
5.s hupossible for any one who feels a proper degree of sympathy fur
the labouring class, to read, without disgust, the almost heartless
"'lesions which Sir Robert Peel, in his speech of Wednesday even-
!Olt, made to the patience with which the great body of the people
have endured the sufferings to which the unfeeling and ignorant
Poltcy of our landed aristocracy have so long subjected them.
!hWhen it is considered that he was virtually making a mockery of
eir sufferings, by his statement that the nieasur!s for which they
laid waited so patiently would not ref ievc them at all, his hollow
compliments and honied phrases can be construed into little else
than an insult to the labouring population."
