SPIRIT OF Tilib DA"s JuLTRNALS.

Trwas.;—The privileges of the Lords, end their
elation in this constitutional monarchy, we hold to
Mof cut importance to Great Britain. They
have great and noble functions to discharge, judi-
-4.1 and political, all of which are recognised by
she people of England. They exercise others,
which, if not expressed by the letter of the con-
ideation, are understood in pract:co ; and which,
whs. sot 'Awed by them, are scarcely of lees
public advantage than the abets. Their influence
ha the return of county meteors is in the tw•o-
ild their property and character ; and the
swieillifsse the most dire* tendency to strengthen
both thrie 'weirces of substantial and wholesome
va,poighatever privileges they enjoy, or
whlkever the &uthorities with which they are in-
vested,. they possess none but such as have been
given them for the benefit of the people, and which,
even when in their nature the most discretionary,
are like the prerogatives of the Crown of England,
to be exercised in furtherance, not in hindrance, of
that great end for which they were instituted—the
promotion of the publics welfare. It is undoubtedly
true, that among the MO of an Upper Chamber
ought to be accounted that of checking oac sionally
the too impetuous flight f popular imp flee, and
subjecting that which may be but a light r
transient Caprice, to the test of calm, laborious, and
reiterated deliberation. But is the eagernea of the
people of England for the accomplshment of that
measure, which the most exalted tater men ofGreat
Britain during more than seventy years have pro-
nounced to be essential -to the security and per-
manency, not of freedom only, but of all the insti-
tutions of the realm,—is that to be regarded as a
light and gratuitous fancy, to which the Peers,
under colour of their constitutional " check ," might
oppose a dogged and unrea.oni g obstacle? Un-
questionably not. The Royal prerogative may be
perverted to evil purposes; and what happens ?
Our constitution pri.nounces forma. ly, th it trial and
punishment may follow. Whose trial—the K ng's ?
No ; that would soon lead to thy, overthrow of 63
'Monarchy; but his Mini tees', who advised him,
mei whose fate, if he ba fount guilty, may opetato
en n useful precedent.
'CONNITT'S REGISTSR.—Tit E BA RINGS AND

mittse, after all the pretended wish to have it, has
been reamed. Th subject was brought Were the
House of Commons on Tuesday night lest. I shall
here insert, from the Morning Chronicle, the te-
portof-what took place. But the reader alit oh-
serve that this i. not sequence part, nor a t nth
part, of what took place ; that the debate lasted
for four hours and a half. The ref oilers li vs
put in just ss bat part they pleased Almost lb*
whole of what Mr. O'Connell said and t f w. at
Mr. Harvey said is suppressed ; but there is enough
of both left to stick to the parties for the rest of
their lives. When I have i sorted the repo. t. I
shall make some ob ervations upon it, always con-
sidering it as a mere publication, and not as any
thing which has been said by any Member of the
House of Commons. I beg the reader to go through
every part of It with great attention; 1 shall not
have tiuse to add much to it in the way of remark
at present ; but about the same time that this
Register will be published, the Two-penny Trash,
for October, will be published, and in she I .hall,
in an address to the people of Hampshire in particu-
lar, enter intoa complete analysis of this 'flair. 1 will
there place the Bariags in their true light before the
people of the county, and the people of the whose
country, and the Whig Ministry also I will place
in their true light. Hitherto i has been rather
the private affair of Mr. and Mrs. Deacle. It is
now become the affair of the whine nation. And
the whole nation will see vie necessity of pouring

again from the sameideces, and, from large places,
two or three petitions at a time, until we obtain
security for our pens ns against acts such as have
been alleged against these Hampshire magistrates,

and who shall now know me, as I always told thews
they should. Read, 1 pray you, Mr. Harvey's

A Member of Parliament (Colonel Evans), with-

truth of their allegations, and ray t e House to
