SPIRIT OF THIS DAY'S JOURNALS.

Tr at mistake of the Bishops is, that
they fancy they are playing the part they did at the
Revolution in 1688 ; but the difference is, that
they then had the people at their back, and now
they have them opposed to them. Now, with re-
pan' to the conduct of the Bishops at the Revolu-
tion, upon which Dr. Phillpotts laid so much stress
the other night, undoubtedly they were of great
use in forwarding that important event; but then
they never did anything—they never put their
shoulders to the wheel—till their temporalities were
attacked. Burnet, himself a Bishop, complains that
Sancroft, then Archbishop of Canterbury, "lay quiet
at Lambeth" and would not stir; and the other bi-
shops followed his example, till king James appointed
a Papist head of Magdalen College, at Oxford,
Then the Bishops saw that their temporalities were
going from them, and then they blew the trumpet
of rebellion through the country, and the country
answered the call. They have probably now the
same notion as to their temporalities, but how
erroneous are the measures they take for preserving
them! If their temporal ies are looked at with a
jealous eye, is it by setting themselves in opposi-
tion to the public wishes that they are likely to
remove this feeling? If their endowments are
thought by the many to be too large, is it by sepa-
rating themselves from the many that they are likely
• to preserve them ? Surely the blindness of such
conduct is only to be equalled by its injuriousness
to the country as well as to themselves. For what
must be the consequence of the alienation of the
pra,ple from their spiritual rulers ? Anarchy,
confusion, plunder—even blood. But we will not
dwell upon this picture. The giving to the
Bishops seats in the House of Lords, among many!
ether evils and inconveniences has this one,—that
Ministers will and must promote to the Bench
partisans, instead of Christian pastors.
Hulce the scandal that is sometimes offered to the
Christian public by placing in important
dioceses men whose whole life is one continua-
tion of secular objects, secular views, and secular
intrigues. A history of Dr. Phillpotts would
strikingly illustrate what is here asserted. His
getting the great living of Stauhope from the late
Bishop of Durham, as the price of his political and
electioneering violence against sir. Lambton in the
county cf Durham, his anti-Catholic pamphlets,
which got him the Deanery of Chester,—his short
crane-necked turn, which got him his bishopric, I
when the Duke of Wellington had determined to
carry that measure,—are matters of which none
are ignorant. After such a course, and such causes
for his elevation, can one be surprised at the bitter,
abusive, intolerant, and factious spirit which he
displays ? " Every tree is known by its fruit !"
" Men do not expect to gather grapes from thorns,
01 figs from thistles."
Clittox at:lA.—Parliament will be prorogued as
soon as she Bankruptcy Courts' Bill is passed, and
it is not intended that it shall assemble again till
after Christmas. We need not say that we regret
this delay. We see in it great cause for apprehen-
sion. The country will either remain in a state of
agitation, or it will not. If agitated, who can tell
what the consequence may be ? If the agitation
subsides, the hostile lords, who are only reformers
horn neeessity, who hate reform from the very
bottom of their souls, and who will be con-
stantly on the look out for means to prevent
it, will nail!' delude themselves into the belief that
the people are ludifferent to reform, and become

persuaded that they have been too easily led to con-
ceive that reform i 3 inevitable. The greater part of
the 199, whatever teformers may think, have not
the slightest idea that it i 3 not just and proper they
should subsist on the tillage of the public. They
Lave been brought up in the notion that the people
are only of importance as pigs and sheep are of
importance—as supplyin,, to the at the weans of
subsistence. Nu man in his tenses woald ever have
thoitJt of con hieing the Algerines that it was
wrong to subsist on the pillage of traders on the
high seas, by aay other arguments tha., those which
v:are altimately urged with regard to them. All
the Methodists in Europe and America would fail in
their attempts to soften the heat t of one single Arab,
brought up in the notion that it is more Rio-
rioos to rob caravans than to labour. The
Jobbing Boroughmongers, like all other persons
convinced against their will, will relapse the very
first opportunity which appears to flatter their in-
e:inations. Nothing nn earth but the demonstra-
tion in a I.lat ner not to be misunderstood, that
the people are to a man bent on Refonn, and that
the danger will be greater to themselves from op-
posing it than agreeing to it, will command their
suffrages. The processions of 120,000 respectable
tradesmen and other householders in the Metropolis
on Wednesday last were of more avail in the way
of argument than all the pamphlets that ever were
written, all the speeches that ever were d: livered.
A Reform which would enable the Ministers of
this country to throw themselves on the people,
and to govern without distributing the plunder of
tt.e people among tie possessors of Borough pro-
' perty, must always be wormwood to the latter.
j The people have had great reason to confide in the
honourable intenth.ns of Ministers, who have
shown themselves sincerely desirous of rendering
lute representation of the people ade(,uate to its
i object.

HERA I.D.—lf we are to have a reform in the
Church, it cannot be a judicious arid temperate
reform unless it be one considered and adopted on
its own merits, and without any reference to the
votes of the Bishops on the Reform Bill, or on any
other question. If the Church wants reform--and
we are of opinion that, to a certain extent—it
does—it would be the inversion of all sound rea-
soning to say that, because the guardians of the
Church voted for the Reform Bill (supposing they
had done so), it would be right that the Church
itself should go unreformed ; or, in other '
words, because the guardians of the Church
acknowledged that the best way to renovate
the State was to remove its abuses ; therefore
the best acknowledgment that could be made
to them would be to allow the abuses of the church
to be perpetual. Though we have said that the
abstract question as to the propriety of the Prelates
of the Established Church having seats in the
House of Lords is not a question for times of ex-
citement, yet we have no hesitation in saying that
our Bishops, in their places in Parliament, have,
somehow or other, almost invariably resisted all
iniprov meet. We do not forget the heroic conduct
of the " seven Bishops" in blowing the trumpet of
the glorious Revolution, and we venerate their
memories fur the stand which they made against
a tyrant; when their own rights and privileges
had been arbitrarily assailed; yet, when the
restoration of the rights and privileges of their
fellow-subjects is the question which the Go-
vernment supports, we find the great body
of the Bishops, for the first time in living memory,
arrayed in opposition to the King and his Ministers.
But on other occasions, when harsh and cruel laws
were to be passed against the people—when an
unconstitutional stretch of power was to be sanc-
tioned by the Legislature—when the passing of
the " Six Acts"—the suspension of the Habeas
Corpus Act—the enactment of new capital Sta-
tutes, inticting death under circumstances for which
Christians ought to blush—the passing of a Spring-
gun Bill to legalise a system of cowardly assassi-
nation, more dangerous to the innocent than the
guilty,—when these and other matters equally op-
posed to sound and humane legislation were the
Work cut out by the Minister for Parliament, we
have always found the bishops on the side of
power. In short, the minister of the day has ge-
!korai!) calculated on their votes with great cer-
tainty, but never with a more justified confidence
than when the corrupt or arbitrary acts of the
Government am to he absolved from all respon-
sibility, or the errors of the law, or the vene-
rable " abuses of the State, were to be protected
against the reforming Maud of salutary innovation.
During the successive years that Sir Samuel Bo-
milly .mbly struggled to purify our criminal code
from inhumanity and barbarism, by judicious and
enlightened ameliorations, the prelates of our
church—the teachers of a religion of mercy, were
among the most steady opponents to any arid every
alteration of our sanguinary code.
Conserr's REGISTER.—It is probable, and I
most anxiously hope it, that the apparent resolution
of the King to cause the bill to be carried through,
will quiet the people in the country, not only in the
great towns, but in the villages, where the danger is
still greater than in the towns; but it is very fool-
ish for men to flatter themselves with the hope that
there will ever be tranquillity is England again
or in Scotland either, until this bill, tn. rather ano-
ther 6;11, shall have passed into a law. To exhort
the people not to commit violences ; to exhort
diem to submit to the laws ; to exhort them to with-
hold their violent hands from the property and per-
sons of their neighbours ; this is the duty of every
mau who has any influence over the minds of the
people, but to expect that his exhortations will have
'any effect, unless accompanied with a statement of
reasonable grounds for believing that the bill will
speedily pass, is foolishness of the higher order;
is foolishness sublime and supreme ; except that it
may, possibly, not surpass the foolishness of telling
the people that their violence will prevent the bill
from passing. To see the rejection of the reform
bill, and to expect no violence in consequence, is
to belie all that the people have been told by the
ministers, and by all the supporters of the bill for
six months past. I like the pretty song of the Lord
Chancellor of Wednesday night very much : he ex-
horts the people to be quiet as lambs, lest they
should defeat the Reform Bill, of which he, four
days before, expressed his readiness to enter into a
reconsideration. Why, the people see that the
Reform Bill is defeated, and they see no revival
of it, and no positive pledge that there shall be a
revival of it; and under these circumstances do the
Ministers expect the people to be quiet ? I hope'
that they will be quiet, and that they will wait pa-
tiently to see what is to be done ; but the question ,
is, can the Ministers, consistent with their own

daclaratiens a thousand times made, expect the
people to be quiet in this state of things ? Let us
see how this matter stands : let us cee what reason
they have for such expectation. Nobody will dis-
pute the truth of any ono of the following facts ;
namely, that the Duke could neither walk nor ride
the streets in safety, on account of his declared
hostility to Parliamentary Reform ; that ho quit-
ted his office became he could not carry on the
Government without Reform ; that Lord Groy
came into orrice upon the express ground of
making a parliamentary reform; that the bill,
when brow ht in, was grounded upon the naces:,ity
of it to restore peace and harmony to the coun-
try; that etc ministers have all along insisted that,
to pass the bill was absolutely necessary to preserve
the peace of the country, and to prevent the peo-
ple from taking the work into their own hands ;
that during the Into debates in the House of Lords,
a great ar ,ument with those who urged the passing
of the bill was, that the country would be con-
vulsed, that uproar and violence would imme-
diately succeed if the bill were rejected ; that the
opponents of the bill called this intimidation and
menace, but that the ministers answered that it
was merely fore/tiling the natural consequences
of the rejection. No ono can deny any one of
these facts. The ministers were accused of in-
citing to violence by these foretelling's, as
their Attorney-General accused me; but
' they answered, that they were only giving
a salutary warning of the dant,ter, while, at the
' same time, they pointed out the remedy. The
remedy as not adopted, and, therefore, if they
were siheere in tie it forebodiugs, as I was in mine,
ought they to have expected that the violences
would not take pine: ? Mr. fledges, one of the
faithful members of the coenty of Kent, told the
House of Commons : " The county which I have
the 'romper to represent is now tranquil, after being
so terribly convulsed. I believe that it owes this
tranquillity entirely to the hope that this bill will
pass ; and I firmly believe that, if this bill be re-
jected, the disturbances will break out again."—
Therefore what a waste of words is it; what an
abuse of reason is it, to argue now as if no violence
was to be expected ? Mr. H, for instance, must
most anxiously wish that the county of Kent should
not again be convulsed ; but, is he not too just a
man to sigh to deal harshly with the people.
even if they wore again to proceed to acts of vio-
lence ? And have not the people been told, and
by the Ministers themselves that they were
not represented in Parliament; that their rights
had been usurped; that the bill was necessary to
restore those rights to them, and to give them
security for person and property ? This is what
the Ministers themselves have told them a thou-
sand times over; and were they then to expect
that the people would be quiet when they saw this
bill rejected, and themselves thereby brought back
to their former state, taxed, as Lord Jonw Rus-
SELL himself expressed it, by men who had
usurped their rights? And, as to the way in
which the people are to express their discontent:
but, first of all, do the Ministers wish that the
people should be quiet under the rejection of the
bill ? Do they wish this ? Well, in what way
do they wish that the people should show their
discontent with the rejection of the bill ? By
petitioning and addressing? By cheering the
Ministers and groaning their opponents ? One
recommends the people by no means to with-
hold the taxes, and the LORD CHAN-
CELLOR prays them not to proceed to breaches
of the peace. They must then mean that the people
should confine themselves to petitioning and ad-
dressing, to the huzning of them and the groan-
ing of their opponents. Now I beg leave, as the
Lord Chancellor is' ready to reconsider' the matter
relative to the 101. voters ; as he is so ready to re-
consider this matter, let me ask him to reconsider
his speech of last night, and to give me an answer,
yea or nay, to this question : Do you believe, my
Lord Droullhamaliat if the boroughmongers could
be made QUITE CERTAIN that the people would
NEVER DO AN YT RING but petition, address,
huzza you, and hiss and groan your opponents,
that this bill, or that any reform at all, would
EVER BE ADOPTED ? If you be a true man, an-
swer me that question, yea or nay • but before you
do it, remember that the bloody Jefferies, who once
sat on the very bench on which you now sit, when
he had just condemned one of his scores of victims,
and when the victim exclaimed, " My blood be
upon your head," answered, laughing at the same
time, " Let it ! Let it ! I am CLAMOUR !moor."
Hardened and bloody as he was, he was not more
completely clamour-proof than the borough-
mongers are. It is therefore perfectly useless to
send forth exhortations to peace and patience with-
out sending forth at the same time assurances as
positive as can be given, that the Bill will finally
pa's. The Prime Minister and the King are, I
sincerely believe, resolved upon the carrying the
measure ; hut people in general have not the same
means of judging that I have. They are full of
suspicions ; with them all is uncertainty and alarm ;
and, in order to prevent them from proceeding to
those acts of violence which the ministers them-
selves not only anticipated, but expressly foretold,
as the inevitable consequence of a rejection of the
bill, those ministers should now not lose a single
moment in giving them an assurance that the bill
will be carried ; and of giving them an assurance,
too, that no change will be made in the bill to
narrow the extent of the suffrage in the great
towns, and also, that no delay will take place.
The Pembrokeshire election commence,s this day.
The late member, Sir John Owen, was declared unduly
elected in consequence of the negligence,pertiality, and ineffi-
ciency of the High Sheriff and his officers. Sir John Owen
is a reluctant reformer; for in his addresses to his constituents
in the spring, he repeatedly stigmatised the bill as destructive
of the constitution, and also imputed unworthy motives to
the ministers who originated it. But at the late election he
found the sense of the county of Pembroke to be so
strong in favour of the bill, that, to use his own language,
he was prepared to sacrifice a part of his honest opinion to
favour of that of his constituents. By such a walk, sacrifice,
and by the assistance of the High Sheriff and his officers,
he succeeded in obtaining a return, which a committee of
the House of Commons set aside. His opponent, the Hon.
Mr. Oreville, is the consistent advocate of Reform; and
now, after the severe expense of a contest, prolonged by the
declared negligence of the Sheriff to 16 days, and after the
additional expense OA petition to the House of Commons,
be boldly proceeds to a second trial of saingdi and prin.
ciples. A subscription has been raised in the country to
assist his election, but it is incumbent upon all reformers to
come forward and secure, at a crisis like the resent, the
return of an uncompromising friend to the bW. Such is I
Mr. Oreville; and each, we are jusdled la saying, is not
his opponent. Fat be who abused the bill on Its first thus.

LONDON, SATURDAY, OCT. 15.

ON 6 O'CLOCK. THIS DAY.—.TheTiromrter, 64. BA.
rometcr, 2840. Weather, cloudy, and fa'•. Wind W.

We yesterday called the solemn attention of the
public to the reported circumstance, that Ministers
entertain a serious intention to prorogue the Par-
liament, for the portentous period of THREE
MONTHS. We deprecated so uncalled-for and un-
expected a determination; and our sentiments are
echoed through all London, while we have no
doubt, they will be reverberated from one end of
the kingdom to the other. For our parts, we con-
sider such a prorogation to be highly dangerous
to the public peace, and in many respects as a
compromise of public feeling and of the Bill.
If the prorogation, as is announced, take place
on Tuesday, there is scarcely time for any general
expression of public opinion ; but it appears to us,
that public bodies on the spot, and in the nearest
counties, ought with all celerity to convey an ex-
pression of their opinions to Ministers before it is
too late. The patriotic majority of the House of
Commons, who so nobly displayed their energy
on Lord EBRIN GTO N'S motion, ought not to
be backward on this occasion. We are aware
that paragraphs are going the round of cer-
tain Papers, pleading for a holiday or
rest to the Legislature ; but as we consider the
labours of the Members at this crisis to be of pri-
mary importance, not only to their characters, but
to the vital interests of the public—so we consider
an abatement of the easy labour of sitting at plea-
sure, to hear the intervals of a debate, to be of very
secondary consequence. We have visited their
subjects and slaves in the manufacturing districts—
we have seen cotton and weaving factories, sub-
servient in every hour of the year to the never-
wearied steam-engine, wherein, except on Sun-
days, there is seldom more than a single holiday
in the year—and we have been in coal mines, in
iron works, in glass works, &c. &c. &c. wherein
the labour in a week exceeds that of seven years'
sittings on the hilarious benches of either House
of Parliament. At the same time, we admit that
these parliamentary duties have some irksomeness,
especially to fox-hunters ; but they are not to be
quoted as sufficient reasons for abandoning a public
duty at a moment, when the occasion and the
country call for additional exertious in men, who
ambition power and distinction, and v. ho stand
pledged to their copstituents and to the world, to
carry this measure.

We are assured this morning—but we quote that
opinion with becoming deference—that his MA-
JESTY has urged that the prorogation should be
only for FIFTEEN DAYS, an arrangement which
exactly accords with public feeling, and with com-
mon sense. If a longer period is proposed for the
purpose of truckling to,and intriguing with the noble
and Right Reverend majority, we consider such an
object as compromising a cause of unquestionable
truth and merit, and as beneath the power of the
c ROWN, and the omnipotent voice of the people. If it
be intended to take advantage of the long chapter
of accidents, which may grow out of the THREE
MONTHS session, we take the liberty to remark
that such accidents may perchance be as unfavour-
able to the hopes of the people as favourable to
them. Two vulgar adages, and therefore truths,
apply exactly—" strike the iron while it is hot"—'l
" never defer that till to-morrow which can be
done to day."

We have bad the pleasure during the week to
see our patriotic Monarch two or three times;
and we sincerely congratulate the public
on the external appearances of his good health
and sound constitution. All his people hope that
be may be long preserved to them; and his ha-
bitual temperance and buoyant spirits justify that
expectation. Nevertheless, it is not to be dis-
sembled, that an accident, while Lord High Ad-
miral, has continued to cause much discomfort
to his MAJESTY, and diminished that personal
activity which was his peculiar characteristic.
Never was the life of a SOVEREIGN more
precious to his PEOPLE ; for it is reason-
ably apprehended, that on his patriotism and
good intelligence depend the accomplishment
of any Reform which can be useful or satisfactory.

We urge this topic, however, as no substantive
reason for a short prorogation ; for we are more
influenced by our apprehensions of the effects of
winter on a disappointed people, and on the db.'
estrous consequences to all the vital interests of
the country, from lingering discussions on the
subject.

The state of the Poll at Guildhall, reduces that
question to one of secondary importance—seeing
that the numbers through the day have been ten to
one, nine to one, and eight to one, in favour of the
Reformers. We are sorry tosee Alderman WAITII-
MAI dragged in against his will, as a mere nu-
merator or cat's-paw of a poll ; but the usage of
these civic contests frequently puts a respected
character in the wrong.
On the subject of the Dorset Election, we
feel it proper to remark, that Mr. PONSON
ac's friends continue sanguine, though appear-
ances are against him. He is said to have
an undue proportion of votes before the
Ammar—why, we do not learn ; but we so often
hear of partiality and undue procrastination in
Assessors, that some amendment of our Election
practices seems in this respect to be necessary.
Anothet Election—that of Pembrokeshire—now

claims public attention, Grt EVILLE against Ov EN
•
a decided Reformer against an equivocal one.

The Ministry appear to be intent uf on passing
the new Bankruptcy Bill before the prorogation.
We hail it as an improvement, simply because it
gets rid of the corrupt influence of Seventy Com-
missioners, who for years are known to have op.
posed themselves to every improvement in this
branch of Jurisprudence. If a bad system is
not supported by such a phalanx, many of
whom were Members of the Legislature, we
may calculate on great improvements and
ameliorations in our Debtor and Creditor
law ; and in this sense chiefly, we approve o:
Lord BROUGHAM'S Bill. It breaks up a bad
system, and cleanses an Augean stable. We do
not object to t' e legal assignee, because the foul.
of lawyers, who generally fill that office, either hl
passion or ignorance, ruin both debtors and cre-
ditors ; but we apprehend some wrong from th,
formalities of a Court which requires more equity
and bon amie in its practice than is compatibh
with the severity of plain law. In fine.
nothing can adjust the mischievous anc
ruinous consequences of Bankruptcy, both to in-
solvents and creditors, but to enable a competent
majority of creditors to receive and act upon the
bast proposition, which a debtor is enabled to make.
For what has been done, the public are neverthe-
less under much obligation to the energetic admi-
nistration of Lord BROUGHAM, the only Chancel-
lor who would perhaps have dared to take this bull
by the horns.

A Cabinet Council is summoned fur to-morrow.
(Sund;y) at two o'clock, at the Foreign Office.
