SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
FROM THE EVENING PAPES OF THIS DAY.
GLOBE.—Agricultural meetings continue to
be held, and furnish an undiminished supply of
those topics which evince the uneasiness which
the Tariff has produced among the farmers; and
disclose the apprehensions of the landlords, that
their rent-rolls will be materially affected by the
changes which the " Deceiver-General' has
introduced into the system which he was placed
in the Government to preserve from invasion.
We have ,before us reports of three of these
formerly highly-convivial and elate convo-
cations of jovial and well-satisfied agricul-
turists ; over the spirit of whose dreams of
perpetual prosperity, at the expense of all other
classes, a change has come. The summer of
their joy is followed by the winter of discontent.
The howlings of that dark and dreary. season
supply,an apt illustration of the complaints, up-
, braidings, and objurgations which have suc-
ceeded the scenes of congratulation and confi-
dent anticipations of good things yet in store.
At a meeting of the South Essex Agricultural
Association, the gloom and discontent of the
company with the recent changes were strongly
marked. Sir G. Smyth undertook to defend his
votes on the Corn-law and Tariff of Sir Robert
Peel; but only repeated the old story, that the
agricultural members had no alternative. "He
had done what he could." He accompanied a
large deputation of agricultural members to Sir
R. Peel. They protested against the contemplated
changes, and expostulated with him, as the head
of the overnment, to induce him to forego his
purpose of pressing them upon the adoption of
Parliament—but without success ! "He (Sir G.
H. Smyth) had given his votes conscientiously,
though a.iinst his convictions—he hoped they
thought he, and his friends, who had voted on
the same side, and in the same way he did, had
acted conscientiously."—And much more to the
same purpose—apologetical, deprecatory, and
supplicatory. But no one expressed approval,
nor cried, " God bless him !" A marked silence,
only broken by an occasional growl, attended
the delivery of the certainly equivocal expla-
nation of the worthy member for Colches-
ter—the Nestor of the Decemviri, to whom the
Essex agriculturists committed the guardianship
of their interests against the promoters of free
trade. The South Essex Agricultural meeting
was, indeed, a very sorry affair. The Herts Agri-
cultural Meeting was held about the same time
with that of South Essex. Here Earl Verulam,
the Lord Lieutenant of the county, was the
genius loci, and proved himself but partially in-
formed of the discontents which were ferment-
ing in, and almost bursting, the bosoms of the
dissatisfied Hertfordshire yeomen, who had re-
turned three Tories for a county essentially
Whig, lest the hand of free trade should touch
their interests. In returning thanks for the
honour of having had his health proposed to and
drunk by the meeting, Lord Verulam, in an evil
moment, said—
" He knew no reason why the agriculturists in the
county of Herts should not be as " wide awake" to
their own interest as the members of other classes.
It would not answer their purpose in the present
day to sit before their doors enjoying and regaling
themselves with their pipe—they must be awake and
stirring; they must not, like the husbandman in the
fable of old, pray to Jupiter to help them in the
cultivation of the soil, but they would find it necessary
to be up and doing, and then they would have occasion
to thank God for his protection, and to congra-
tulate themselves that the abundance which they
possessed had beep brought about by their own
exertions. The manufacturers had got into trouble
through over production. This could not be the case
with the farmers—he felt convinced that the produc-
tion of food might be indefinitely increased, and then
they would set at defiance all the vessels by which corn
and cattle were imported."
This was too much even for the proverbial
stolidity of a Hertfordshire farmer. Not a single
pipe, though seated at their own door I How
dismal the prospect ! Farewell, not merely good
old port, but the jug of humming ale, to wet the
genuine shag—yea, even the pipe itself must, in
the Peer's opinion, be renounced, to counteract
the effects of the Premier's tariff!
STANDARD.—The recent appointments in
Canada excite, as they ought to do, much interest
in this country ; but it is quite plain that the case
is either misrepresented or misunderstood by
most who speak upon it. The truth is, as we
have before stated, that some such appointments
have been, by the new constitution, given to
Canada, rendered necessary as the alternative of
a renevsal of that worst and most dangerous of
wars, a parliamentary war like that carried on
by Papineau for so many years, and which
ended so injuriously to the safety and pros-
' perity of the colony. But if some such
appointments were necessary, the selection of
the individuals became a matter of indifference,
except perhaps that the more prudent course
was to prefer declared enemies, to any of the
execrable race of balancing and doubtful friends,
the promotion of any of whom would excite as
much disgust on one side, without producing any
sensible good effect on the other. This is
miserable moralty no doubt; but is not
the moral of the necessary policy in a demo-
cratical community all of the same wretched
order ? It seems at first view shocking that
in such communities crime should always
prosper up to a certain point, and that
merit should ever be disregarded; but so it
must be to the end of time. We all feel the
burden that loads our shoulders, but seldom have
any grateful sense of the service of the good
horse that carries us. Thus, they who make
themselves formidable to a Government must
count upon being more considered than the
friends by whom a Government is supported.
This inevitably disgusts and offends such
as are loyal and faithful to !their party
only in contemplation of a reward ; but
reasonable and disinterested men easily recon-
cile themselves to the apparent anomaly. The
business of a Government is to adminster the
constitution and the laws committed to its care,
not to reward merit or to punish guilt otherwise
than as the laws appoint; and when it happens
(as we fear is the state of things in Canada) that,
in order to administer the Government with
safety and effect, merit must be neglected, guilt
connived at, the Government has no choice but
to act as Sir Charles Bagot has acted.

APPREHENSION OF PARTIES FOR

THE MURDER OF MR. BROOMHFAD.

Evidence has now been obtained which throws im-
portant and strong light as to the fate of this gentle-
man. Our readers will recollect that he left Brill,: on
his way for Bicester, which place he did not reach in
the early part, about the Ist, of October, 1841. He
represented the house of Broomhead, sickle and reap-
ing-hook manufacturer, Ridgway, near Sheffield.
Several days after he left Brill information was given
by a young man of the name of Penn, that the body
had been found in the river Ray, near Blackthorn. It
was removed to Arncott, a Coroner's inquisition held,
and a verdict of " Found Drowned" returned. Only
five sovereigns, with some silver, and his books of ac-
count were found on him. His watch and monies,
amounting to between three and four hundred pounds,
were missing.
Evidence was obtained, and three persons, Ezekiel
Savage and two brothers of the name of Penn (one of
whom gave the report of the finding of the body), were
apprehended. The Penns were sons-in-law of Savage.
That Mr. Broomhead had come to an untimely end no
doubt was entertained—that be had been murdered
was the general belief. The parties were to have taken
their trials for the robbery at the March Assizes,
at Oxford, in 1842. One of the most material wit-
nesses for the prosecution, at the time of the trial, was
ill, a certificate to that effect Was produced, and the
bill against the parties was thrown out. Subsequent
circumstances tended still more strongly to lead to the
supposition that Mr. Wm. Broomhead had been a
murdered man. Of course, on the bill being thrown
out, Savage and the two Penns were released.
On Saturday last, Inspector J. Molton, of the city
of Oxford Police, received information in Oxford of
Magistrates, and privately examined, at the
the most valuable description. The witness was taken
: from this- evidence warrants were granted
