We have given an extract from the last Num-
ber of " The Western Luminary," in justice to
the motives of the Editor, with whom we
have no connexion, and of whom we know no more
than that he is etidently-a man strongly attached
to the Constitution in Church and State, and
'animate-A by a true and fervid royal
We therefore sincerely hope, that his overween-
ing zeal on the present occasion will be passed
by in consideration of the general pro-
.
prieti which marks the conduct of his Paper,.
and which we doubt not has been eminently
useful in enlightening- the minds of his Readers
in the extensive range of its circulation, and in
diffusing sentiments of loyalty, and a regard for
the hoilour and. interests of the Empire.

[From the the '4 Wh•sTERN I.III,IINARY " of the 25th Inst.]
" The Editor of the Ohl Times, smarting under the merited
castigations bestowed OH 16.11 daily through the Sew Times
and Sir,/ and perhaps nut insensible to the contempt we have
expressed for his apostricy siace be went over to the Radit•als
in their tate eruptions M m
—sees to think he ay derive com-
fort and pour out his. wounded spirit with impunity, in an
attack on the hulible Editor of the Western Luminarg.
Yes: this noisy bully, who out-herods of late his fellow
apostate CUbbett, took notice in Iris paper of Saturday last
of some eipressionS' of ours on the case of the Queen ; and
devoting pied part of a loOg.colmon- to the work of aggra-,
vation, recominends us to the Attorriey-General fur the
honours of a Crown prosecution.—We acknowledge, with
due submission, the vast superiority of our adversary; in the
art anti mystery of newspaper polemics. We have seen
with what enviable skill he can make the worse appear the
better reason; and we know the high price at which he
rates his conscience, when he lets his moral feelings out at
hire.—For our part, we are homely, enough to prefer Truth
in the coarsest garb, to Falsehood in the finest fabrics of
artifice, or the softest colorirings of false delicacy.—We are
convinced- that morality' suffers by the polite and
practice of dressing out vice in fine phrases. Neither the
Court writers, nor the factious ones, speak publicly ofthe
Queen, what they whisper in confidence to their friends;
whispers that have reached every Village • and family.—We
said, in the article the Times-affects to be shocked at, that
we, who paid the unfeigned homage of the heart to our late
lamented Queen and Princess Charlotte!, cannot do the same
to the 'present Queen.—lt suits tire policy of neither the
TiMes nor the Courier, to notice this. When her Majesty
shall be fully and honotin ably acquitted, our homage will
return with our convictions -•—This is the natural course of
moral feeling and thinking in the country; and though
Radicals may rave and Courtiers dissemble, men who have
no private interest, or passions to serve, will yield up their un-
derstandings to neither party. We said too, and we repeat
it, that three solemn investigations 01 the Queen's conduct
having closed, without an IMUOurable acquittal from either,
Ire cannot proclaim her, innocence.' To do so; would
be virtually to impeach her Judges, whom no •thinking man
really suspects of injustice: 0, but (we shall be told) it
is very rude and vulgar, to Say what, you think r —Be it so;
we are cobtent to he so rude and vulgar. We have uo con-
nexion'at Court, and Will be the tool of no faction."

Ma. TENNYSON'S MOTION.—The object or Mr.
TENNYSON'S intended Motion, which he has de-
ferred till next Session, is to facilitate the re-
covery of smaller tenements held out by the ob-
stinacy or other motives of the tenants, which may
put the Landlord to great inconvenience and ex-
pence. A Bill of this kind has long been re-
quisite in this Commercial Country, and all Per-
sons to whom Property of that description be-
longs, who constitute a vast proportion of the
People, are highly indebted to the Honourable
Member who has proposed so necessary a measure.

CONDEMNED Cu cr-nrrs."—There are three un-
fortunate men under sentence of death for Forgery,
who will be executed TO-MORROW morning, un-
less the Royal Mercy should interpose. It is
well known that his late MAJESTY never signed
a death-warrant without a severe struggle be-
tween humanity and justice, and it is not less
known that his present MAJESTY inherits the
same benevolent disposition, and is not less re-
pugnant to the exercise of severe justice. We
do not- pretend to know the Royal intentions on
this occasion, but we, have the pleasure of know-
ing that TIIE SUN has long been, and is still, fa-
voured with the Royal notice, and we trust that
our steady loyalty will always secure e
have, however, heard it whispered that the
new Act, which has just been passed, mitigating
the punishment. of Forgery, ,has „made a deep
impression on the Royal mind, because it so
strongly favours his. MAJESTY'S owns humane feel-
ings, in shewittg 'that the wisdom of the two
Legislative Bodies has deemed the former pu-
nishment both cruel and
nishnient of death for
impolitic. As therefore it•depends on his MA-
JESTY to sanction. the New Law, it will be per-
with the Royal feelings to,give
fectly congenial
it a retro-ective effect upon the present melan-
choly occasion.
