Has be not given the most friendly element, the
aft, In gavel-kind to all the sons of men without
abduction ? and yet have not the Boroughmonger
Despots, who have so long ruled over ns, monopo-
lised both light and air, and deprived millions of
these blessings by their oppressive taxes on houses
and windows ? If all men of title were as public
spirited as your Lordship, we should not have to
complain of Aristocratic despotism ; but as good
qualities and great talents are not always here-
ditary, an overgrown hereditary peerage is the
greatest curse that can befal this country. There
to no question but all governors and magistrates
ought to be honoured and respected while they
set uprightly, and possess qualifications suitable
to their stations, and while they prove themselves
a terror to evil doers, and a praise to them that do
well ; but as the great Sir William Jones has
justly observed, in a letter which I once bad the
honour of receiving from him, such governors
and magistrates should derive their authority
from the people alone, to whom they should
be accountable, for the exercise of that power
with which they are for a time intrusted.
The voice of the people should be the governing
principle in every State. and those who govern are
bound to respect it accordingly, when clearly ex-
loused, either by the people themselves, or by,
'Mich representatives as they shall fairly appoint to
act for them in the grand council of the nation, and
sot by the nominees of a boroughmonger oligarchy.
As a proof that no law can be binding in this coun-
try without the consent of the people, does not the
pumuble of every statute expressly state that it is
algal) by the King, and Lords, and the Cost moN s,
In Parliament assembled ; but bow can an assem-
bly which consists chiefly of members nominated
by the aristocracy be called the COMMONS ? It
has been justly observed, that a monarchy limited
by a Parliament, and dependent upon law, is not
only the best Government in the world, but also
the best for this nation in particular, being most
suitable to the genius of the people, and the cir-
cumstances of the whole body ; but those who de-
fend this form of Government are not required to
believe that Kings came down from heaven with
Moms upon their heads, or that the common
people were all born with saddles and panniers on
their backs. An absolute monarchy is a great evil,
but a boroughmonger oligarchy is a much greater;
Ihr in the latter case, instead of being governed by
one tyrant, we are governed by many.
. I have the honour to be an avowed admirer of
your Lordship's principles and parliamentary con-
duct, as well as your faithful and very obedient
servant, though not personally known to your
Lordship, in consequence of my having for many
years past preferred a life of comparative solitude
and obscurity. THOMAS YE*TES.

SPIRIT OF THIS DAY'S JOURNALS.

CH RON ICLE. We regret to learn that there are serous
divisions In the Cabiset so the subject of some of the recent
alteration in the Reform Bill. We trust ministen will
bear in mind, on an occasion like this, their paramount duty
to their country, and what the consequences might be of
allowing disagreement among themselves to deprive the
people of a measure from which so much is reasonably
expected.
CHRONICLE—An anecdote is told of a distinguished
Bishop of Deny, that at his table sixteen hogsheads of claret
were drunk in a single_year. A welter, conimentlng on this
anecdote, observes, " This shows bow much matters have
been improved sines the days of the Apostles." %Fe are not
awn*, certainly, that any of the Apostles had well.stocked wine
cellars. The /Bebop of boodles, we suppose, thinks it proper
that the desandaata of the Apostles should be able to carouse
on claret and =key. It Mosly poor men playing at skittles'
or taking a ghat of beer on Good Friday or Christmas, that
itches the Christian indignation of the Right Reverend
Father in Goo. Bishops knew, of course, that rich men
cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven; and ceosidering
their own exclusion, it is most charitable in them to strive
to keep their docks In a cOodition to enjoy a blessing of
which they-mast themselves be deprived.
Tibia!' iro' elan not disguise our deep regret at the
=soh of the division last Thursday evening, when Lord
Charades carried against the Ministers, and to the serious
injury of the reform bill, his amendment, providing that
tenants at will, paying 501. per annum rent, shall be en-
titled to vote for county members. Whatever the easy and
good-natured folks, the optimists of the day—these friends
of reform who talk edifyingly, and act even honestly, but
who take all in good part, and resign themselves, like pious
Mahometans as they are, to the heaviest visitations of destiny,
congratulating theniselves that mattes " are no worm
