THE EVENING STAR.

This day his MAJES'rY eld a Levee at St. James's
Palace, which was attended by all the Ministers of State,
and a numerous assemblage of the Nobility and Gentry.

While success is every where rewarding the exertions of
the friends of Reform, its vanquished enemies are evidently
beginning to see the necessity of changing their mode of
attack, and of trying fresh stratagems. They are con-
quered in the open field—they see the victory almost
complete—and they are now conspiring, if possible,
to abstract from the people, the fruition of that
good, which is the object and natural result of their
victory. By turning to the " Spirit of the Journals," in
a subsequent column, our Readers may peruse a curious
passage, forming ono of the leading articles of this day's
Morning Post. This paragraph we would recommend to
be read with attention ; for it developes, if we mistake
not, the plan of the ensuing campaign, on the side of
the anti-reformers.

Our cotemporary of the Morning Post has just dis-
covered that " a very large and important conservative
party"—" a very numerous, intelligent, and influential party
in the next Parliament,"—" entertain the opinion that
some change in the system of representation has become
expedient, in deference to the temper and feeling of the
times, rather than on account of any actual vice in the
nature, or defect in the working of the present system."
In the remainder of the paragraph, the party alluded to,
are admonished to meet and arrange a Bill of their own, to
be submitted to the New Parliament.

It is easy to perceive, from this paragraph, what will be
attempted, and what, we believe, was upon the very eve of
being attempted, in the last Parliament, had not the sudden-
ness of the dissolution prevented it. A new standard of Re-
form will be reared, of which expediency will be the motto.
It is not difficult to predict who will be General of the
expediency forces; and it is not a supposition, contrary to
what is usual among men, that some deserters may slip
into this transition party, thus reduce the reform force
and again endanger the bill of the Ministry—or more cor-
rectly speaking, that of the people.
This change of tactics will accomplish no ultimate good
for the party who employ it. Whether the Bill, as
it now stands, or a modification of a more popular
character, are the alternatives before the country; and
the latter would be the esult of further opposition.
The Reform has in fact virtually taken place. The rot-
ten burghs can never again send Members to Parlia-
ment ; and no Administration can carry on the concerns
of this country six months after the new Parliament
meets, without passing the reform bill, or endangering the
property of the public creditor. Let us not forget what
DAVID HOME has said, when referring to the financial ten-
dencies of the country, that we are "playing at cudgels in
a china shop."

The eyes of all England are now fixed on Doraetahire and
Cornwall.

NORT H A MPSONSHI RE is safe; for in every instance, the
Tory party bring up their dependents in the beginning of the
contest, and the majority in favour of ALTHORP and MIL-
TON on the first, second, and third days, must therefore
assure the result, whatever may be the tenacity of Messrs.
CA RTW RIGHT and KN IouTLEr. A victory, too, in North-
amptonshire, is of greater consequence, because there are
few small freeholders, and the votes consist almost entirely
of the Squirearchy, or their families.
Essex, too, is a noble victory; for in this county the
aristocratic influence has always prevailed, and nothing but
the hatred of the public measures of that faction, could have
conferred such a majority on the absent Mr. WELLESLEY,
and have kept him so nearly parallel with Mr. WESTERN,
ho enjoys the confidence and good will of all parties.

Bu CIL INO H MIMI RE was Wet fur want of coalition, ow-
ing to the vain glory, on the part of one candidate, of
desiring to he at the head of the poll. The exertions of the
reformers were therefore neutralised, and the distraction
tended to swell the ranks of the enemy. Mr. Gant YELL
too, was not known in the County, to enable
the small Freeholders, to discriminate between his
name and that of GRENVILLE, to which they have a
greater aversion than to that of TEMPLE itself, and hence
the necessity of coalition between a known reformer, and
one less known to the constituency. Mr. G. was also too
late in the field; and, shove all, Buckinghamshire wants the
political influence of one independent great town.

But the counties in which the electors hare inflicted the
severest blows on the Boroughmongers have been, in Cumber-
