SPIRIT OF THE JOURNALS.

Truss—With the people of England now rests the cause of reform :
their gracious Sovereign bas delivered it into their hands, and whatever
use they may make of it—whether it suffer and sink with th..m, or in-
crease in an rength, and pass on to victory, the obligation to the Sove-
reign is the same—he is entitiel to the eternal gratitude of his people.
There is no qustion but the snuggle will be a fierce one; the conflict
on the dissolution in the House of Commons, and the tumult in that
more orderly body, the House of Lords, are preludes of the more tem-
pestuous scenes which will take place in the kingdom at large on the
present general election. Who would have thought that, in support
of a cause so manifestly unjust as that of nominating mock.memberw to
sit in the House of Commons, under the semblance of the representa-
tives of the people of England, any party or fiction of men could be
found to array themselves publicly P It is a proof that the long prac-
tice of political vice, like that of mural vice, not only depraves the
heart which at first may have hardly been tainted by it, but perverts
the understanding and etupifies the faculties.
CHIONICLE.—We cannot too earnestly inculcate the necessity of
making the greatest exertion to return every where Reformers, in the
true sense of the word. The Boroughmongers are stirring heaven and
earth to compass their base ends, and money will be lavished on the
worthless Englishmen who, for a mess of pottage, will sell the rights of
themselves and their children. The majority and minority on Gen. Gas.
coyness motion, on the llith, printed by Mr. Ridgway, in the form of a
sheet, should be distributed throughout every corner of the three King.
doms,in order to be posted up in all places of resat, that the enemies of the
people may be thoroughly known. Whoever voted for that motion ought
to be excluded from every place where the people have any influence.
Another point is of great importance. Let there be no divisions among
the reformers themselves. We account every man, no matter what
his professions and pledges, who offers himself as a candidate in piece of
any of the men who have declared themselves for the whole bill, and
who have voted for the second reading and against General Ga.coyne's
motion, an enemy of the people. By reason of the division thus created
the enemy may come in. We arc sorry, therefore, to see a reform
candidate start for Westminster. Sir Francis Burdett and Mr.
Hobhouse ought to have no rivals among reformers. The re.
formers have quite enough on their hands without opposing tech
other. Every man who votes for an Anti-Reformer votes for
Despotism—votes against the Liberty of the Press—against Educa-
tion—against all that has made England what she is, in spite of
the abuses from which she has suffered. Sir Robert Peel, the head
of the And. Reformers, has not hesitated to declare himself an ad.
mirer of the system of Charles Z and an enemy to the Liberty of the
Press, which he chooses to term Journalism. He talked on Friday of
" the despotism of Journalism—that despotism which had brought
neighbouring countries, once happy and flourishing, to the very brink of
ruin and despair." Joseph Surface has at length spoken out. This
was the overflowing of a full heart. Hsppy France, if Charles had
succeeded in destroying the Charter, and annihilating Journalism ! So,
if this man and his patty succeed, we may see what happiness is in store
for us. We shall have, no doubt, gagging Bills in abundance, a re-ac-
tion against everything liberal, fresh crusades against the Press, by Sir J.
Barlett, fleshed by a spirit of vengeance on account of his late mortifica-
tion.. We understand that several of the leading boroughmongers have
had a meeting, to agree on supplies for the contest, and that a stock purse
of a hundred thousand pounds was subscribed for without delay. Some
of them subscribed as high as twenty thousand pounds. To counteract
them great exertions, subscriptions must be liberally entered into at
Manchester, Birmingham, Sheffield, Glasgow, and all the other great
towns about to receive the franchise. We repeat, the greatest exertions
are required. The boroughmongers have every motive for opening their
purses liberally on this °cession. On the one hand, their power to plum
der will be annihilated by reform: on the other, victory would soon
enable them to repay their outlay out of the pockets of the peopld. The
poor wretches, who for gold should sell themselves to this crew, would
soon feel the consequences in increased burdens. The victory of the
boroughmongers would be re-action, and the liberal squandering of the
public money, in order to protect themselves by the dispensation of pa.
tronage.
Post.—The Proclamation for dissolving Parliament was on Sa.
nude), published in an Ealreordinary Gazelle, and the mails were
detained an hour for the purpose of conveyingit, tegetber with the writs,
no every part of the empire. The Writs, it will be seen, aro return.
lie on the 14th of June, but Parliament is not expected to be
summoned to meet for the dispatch of business before the 21st, or
28th of that month. The elections will not commence before the end
of the present week. Beaten at all points, and disgraced in the eyes of
atl rational men, Ministers have thus ventured to appeal from the
sense of Parliament to the decision of the nation. Instead of pursuing
the course which more upright and disinterested men would have
adopted, they prefer endangering the peace of the country, by dissolv.
:rig the Parliament ; and for this act of sheer selfishness, desperation,
and folly, they stand fearfully responsible to an abused Monarch and
an injured people. The expedient, however, there is every reason to
expect, will not only fail of success, bat sink its authors still further
in disgrace. The country can never have confidence in men who do
not hesitate to sacrifice its interests in furtherance of their own unmoor.
thy purposes.
HERALD.—The boroughmongers have been, and still are. labouring
to alarm the country into a persuasion that the Reform Bill is a re-
velutionary measure. If such were really the case, it could not be
too warmly resisted. That it is not such, is unanswerably proved'
by this one fact, that it has received the unequivocal support of the
Monarch, of a great majority of the really independent portion of
the House of Commons, and of thousands upon thousands of those
very ranks of the community to whom revolution would be ruin.'
But let us try these virtuous alarmists by their own test.
—Let us see how they who deprecate revolution in words
absolutely court it by their acts. Let us ask them whether the closing I
scene of the late Parliament, in both Houses, on Friday did not possess
more of a really revolutionary character titan any thing which has
transpired in the annals of this country since the period which preceded
the Commonwealth. What is a revolution but the subversion of one'
state of government and the substitution of another or none, in its I
stead ? Let any man read calmly—let the actors in the scenes look
back themselves upon what took place in the two houses on Friday, and
ask what could more resemble a prelude to revolution. We will not
pollute our columns by repeating the disgusting recitals, still less will
we be the means of propagating the infamous aspersions upon our pa.
triotic King, which these pretended friends of Monarchy and of the
Constitution are giving utterance to wherever their slanders can be in.
truded : but we feel no hesitation in stating that the conduct exhibited
on that day amounted to very little short of treason, and that some at
least, of the offenders may think it fortunate that they are not now ru.
minating in the Tower over conduct which, in times even of far less ex-
citement, would have lid to such a termination.

Much is said and professed and published about education,
at all which experienced schoolmasters and governesses
laugh heartily. Education is a practical, and not a
theoretical science, and all the assistance it can receive is in
the choice of subjects, the mode of impressing the memory ;
or in writing or music, practising certain muscles.
By the Act of last Session it is directed that the census
of the population shall be taken throughout England on the
30th of May next. Persons refusing to answer, or giving
false answers to the several questions, will be liable to a
penalty of from 40s. to Si. and the returns must be made
by the overseers or householders, upon oath or affirmation,
according to the best of their knowledge and belief, at a time
to be appointed by the Justices, between the 25th of June
and the 21st ofJ uly.
It appears by the annual report of the excellent society
for the discharge and relief of persons imprisoned for small
debts throughout England and Wales, that no less than
1,786 debtors have been restored to liberty during the last
year, at the trifling average expense of 21. 12s. 21d. for each
person ; a strong proof that much good may be effected by
small means under careful management.

The TEST ought to be simply the support of the present
Bill in its principles and revised details.
Strange rumours are afloat ; the alarmist is abroad :
many well-disposed gentlemen are labouring under dread-
ful apprehensions of the effects of the general dissolution,
as, even if they should be fortunate enough to escape with
life, they have strong anticipations that Fate's scissors will
only be suspended in their functions by the devoted con-
senting, per force indeed, to relinquish for the rest of their
lives the proud distinction which sets man above the other
animals of creation, the privilege of speech. This punish-
ment will, it is said, be inflicted upon them in consequence
of their having grossly abused the privilege when they pos-
sessed it. Among many who are likely to suffer the punish-
ment due to their backalidings, we may enumerate the fol-
lowing :
TIIE BOROUGH OF SOUTHWARK.-Sir Robert Wilson
has made his retiring bow, even without his attempting to
utter a word of greeting to his former constituents. Though
a General, and one who has seen service, he cannot muster
courage to meet old friends with a new face. Lord Coch-
rane is mentioned as likely to be a candidate. Mr. Calvert
stands again, and of Mr. Brougham's success there can be
no doubt.

Low DOW . —ln the metropolis rumour says we shall see
some change. A new police has been introduced. The
citizens, it is said, have set a strict watch, but they will
keep Ward no longer.
AnuN DEL —This borough, the stronghold of Norfolk, it
is said, has taken alarm at the fiery disposition of the Alder-
man who has for sometime been their independent represen-
tative. The worthy electors will eject the " Cit," having
turned their attention to a young Merryweather, who has
less attachment to the old leaven than the Worshipful Alder-
man has.

K ENT.—The bold Kentishmen, it is expected, will muster
strongly, and try their strength with the house of Knatch-
bull. Sir William Coaway is mentioned as likely to take the
field against the old Member ; and Sir Egerton Brydges has
already declared himself as ready to enter the same field,
and is a staunch reformer.

Coax WALL.-Sir Richard Vyvyan, who has shown him-
self one of the boldest, as well as the most able opponents of
reform, is apprehensive that the Cornishmen, when he again
presents himself to solicit their support, will give him so
rough a fraternal hug, as will put him at once hors de
combat.

HAmPsin at.—Sir J. Macdonald and Mr. Shaw Lefevre,
both staunch reformers, have been active in this county.—
Sir W. Heathcote and Mr. Fleming are alarmed for the fate
of their bacon.

CHESTES.—Sir W. Egerton feels his seat unsteady. Mr.
Cunliffe Offiey, who is pledged to support Reform, it is
thought, will push the present member from his stooL
SHATTESBURY.—Mr. Dugdale has but doubtful hold
here. Mr. Maberly, the other member, it is said, has been
engaged in an active canvas for the county of Surrey, with
a flattering prospect of success. Mr. Briscoe's friends, how-
ever, deny this statement, and assert that the present mem-
bers are too securely seated in the saddle for any one, not
possessing a giant's strength, to have any chance of unseat-
ing them.
WORCESTERSHIR.E..—CoIoneI Lygon must prepare for a
strong contest here : great exertions will be made to oust
him, and to put a popular candidate in his place.
BEDFORDSHIRE.—Mr. Stuart, it is said, declines to de-
fend himself. He retires from his stronghold, and makes
way for a reformer, in accordance with the public feeling,
which is strongly in favour of the ministerial measure.
LEWES.—Sir John Shelley, it is said, will show fight,
but the chances are against him, as the elegant natives of
Bevis Marks would say, in the proportion of Threadneedle-
street to a China orange.
CHESHIRE.—A change is contemplated in this county.
Reform carries the sway here, and Mr. Wilbraham having
voted for the Bill, it is thought will succeed.
WA awiCK.—The reform party are in full activity here ;
their hostility is directed against Sir Charles Greville, whose
vote against the bill will lose him his seat, should an active
opponent present himself as a candidate for the favours of
the electors.

ISLE or Wm lIT.—A declaration is in the course of sig-
nature in this island by freeholders, stating their determina-
tion to go to the poll, in case of an election for the county,
and vote for Sir James Macdonald and Mr. C. S. Lefevre,
free of any expense to those gentlemen.
SUSSEX.---It was rumoured last week in some quarters
that Mr. John Villiers will start for this county. Should
he do so, ho would thereby strengthen Sir John's falling in-
terest in the borough of Lewes.
ESSEX .—Long Wellesley intends again to try his
fortune; the trial in that way bus already proved a pretty
severe one for Essex. Colonel Tyrrell must prepare him-
self for warm work—something beyond mere skirmishing
may be expected.
Mr. Cavendish's friends have already taken measures to
secure his re-election for the University of Cambridge.
Mr. R. H. Gurney and Mr. Robert Grant have announced
their intention to offer themselves again for Norwich
Berke Chronicle.

The Hustings Iris states, that should Sussex return four
members, in all probability Sir Godfrey Webster and Mr.
Herbert Cartels will be elected for the eastern part.
It is reported that Mr. Throckmorton, of linckland-
House, will be a candidate for the county at the next elec-
tion.

The Huntingdon Gazette states, that an independent can-
didate will offer himself for the suffrages of the electors of
that county, in opposition to Lord Mandeville, in the event
of Lord John Russell or Mr. Hooper declining to offer
themselves.

Sir Robert Peel will not, it is rumoured, stand at the
coming election for the borough of Tamworth, of which ho
has hitherto been the half-patron ; it is added that he means
to start for Dover, in which place he expects the eurport of a
considerable body of freemen, through the influence of his
noble friend the Duke of Wellington, the Warden of the
Cinque Ports.

S:r. A Lan Ns.—This borough will be contested. The bit-
ting members are Lord Grimston and Mr. Tennant. Sir F.
Vincent, Bart. is the new candidate. He is a staunch re-
former, and exceedingly popular in the borough.
BIA L DON .—There is a fine opening in this borough for an
enterprising candidate, in lieu of Mr. Quintin Dick, who, it
will be recollected, has uniformly voted against reform ; and
if the county of Essex should have the number of its mem-
bers ultimately increased to four, Mr. Lennard will, in all
probability, be returned by the freeholders, so that the seat
for Maldon might be considered as on a permanent footing
to a new corner—good behaviour, of course, permitting.

S.

NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, APRIL 23.—(From a Cor-
respondent.)—Never was political excitement at a higher
pitch than it is here at the present moment. The news by
the mail this morning (for private intelligence has been re.
ceived, that the Royal Signature was actually affixed to the
Proclamation for dissolving Parliament), has put every one
on theydi vire. The law men are all in bustle and mo-
tion. Thomas Wentworth Beaumont, Esq. one of the re- -
presentatives for Northumberland, and the staunch friend of
reform, has had the most flattering offers made to him, on
the part of those professional gentlemen who acted for him
in 1826 and subsequently, namely—that to chew their attach.
meat to the JUST CAUSE which now occupied the attention
of the vast majority of the wealth, talent, and respectability
of the nation, their services should be performed gratuitously
for him at Aluwick, at the approaching election. A meeting
of the freeholders of Northumberland, resident at and near
the Westgate, (one of the suburbs of Newcastle,) is convened
for Monday next, with a view to adopt such measures as are
best calculated to ensure the return to Parliament of two
Members who will support his Majesty's Ministers
in that efficient system of reform which it is now
admitted is essential to the peace and happiness of the
British empire. At North Shields, yesterday afternoon,
there was a very full meeting of the Northumberland free-
holders resident in that quarter; and it certainly augurs wail
for the future, that there was only one sentiment pervading
the minds of all classes, i. e. that it was the permanent
duty of the electors to prevent the voice of North,no-
berland being stifled in the Senate, by an Anti-114one
Member being again sent to the House. At the pie-
sent crisis,-a crisis big with the fate of the na-
tion the eyes of all men were turned to the talented
eon of the noble Premier. Lord Howick was consi-
dered by far the most befitting person to be put in no-
' minatiou with Mr. Beaumont for the representation of
Northumberland ; and in order to ascertain his lordship's
sentiments upon the subject, a letter was to be addressed to
his lordship forthwith, detailing several important matters
which, just now, it would be premature to notice further.
Another report is current, that should my Lord Howick
have any disinclination to come forward for his native county,
Mr. James Lash, the well known barrister, and unbend-
ing supporter of reform, will be solicited to allow himself to
be put in nomination for Northumberland. The interest of
the Duke of Northumberland w ill, of course, be given to Mr.
Bell, whose views of the reform question are certainly not
in unison with the public voice ; and this the writer of this
article deeply regrets, for there is only one opinion as to
the great amiability of character which attaches to the
worthy and honourable gentleman.
One of Mr. Hunt's fatal errors was his charge against
Me. O'Connell. To charge that gentleman with corruption
was kicking against a stone wall.
The calculations upon these movements give a change of
at least seventeen members, equal of course to 34 on a di-
vision in favour of the present ministers.
THE GOVERNMENT BOROUGHS.—These strongholds
and Treasury redoubts are at present, in many cues at
least, in the bands of the enemy. Upon a new muster-roll
being made out, they will of course be found fighting on the
side where their allegiance is due. Those to which we more
particularly allude are—Harwich, Queenborougb, Rye,
Dover, Plymouth, and Hastings, returning a total of seven
members, which, taken from the opposite force, and added to
the ranks of the ministers, will give, upon a division, an
addition of 14 to the cause of reform.

In Ireland, a dissolution and new election will secure to
the Reform Administration a very considerable accession of
strength. The following are some of the changes which may
be fairly calculated upon :
DOW NM I RE.—The Londonderry interest, it is said, will
be attacked here; as, under existing circumstances, there
cannot be a coalition between the Hill and Stewart interests,
it is thought that Lord Castlereagh must.give way ; by re
tirement or retreat, whichever it may be denominated, will
make room for Col. Ford, who is a declared reformer.

WEXFORD CO UNT Y.—Sir Thomas Esmond, who is
pledged to support the Reform Bill, is named as the suc-
cessor of Lord Valentia, who will either retire, or be turned
out.

KERRY.—Mr. M. Fitzgerald, the well-known Knight of
Kerry, will not, it is said, stand again. His retirement, it is
rumoured, will make way for M. J. O'Connell.
CARLOW COURTY..-.Mr. Horace Rochfort is mentioned
as likely to start on the reform interest in this county. His
return will be effected, if at all, at the expense of Mr. Kava-
nagh's ejectment.
LONOIORD COVRTY..--BOth members are Anti-Re-
formers ; one, it is anticipated, will go out. Lord Forbes is
said to be the weakest.

BANDON-BRIDGE (s nomination Borough.)—Lord Ber-
nard retires, to make room for a friend of the Duke of De-
vonshire, whose turn it will be to nominate an independent
Member.

LEITRIM COUNTY.—The independent interest of this
county are looking out for a candidate. To speak in mild
terms, we should say this bodes no good to Col. Clements.
DONEGAL COUNTY.—General Hart, who does not con-
shier any reform necessary, it is strongly suspected, will lose
his privilege of franking.
LOUTH COUNTY.—The vote given by Mr. M'Clintock
on the Reform Bill, and that alone, will probably cost him
his seat. Mr. Sheil is mentioned as likely to become Mr.
Dawson's colleague.
DROGHEDA.—Mr. North, it is said, certainly goes out.
COLERAINE BOROUGH.—The Beresford nomination
likely to go for nothing here. The electors will tective
nothing short of an independent representative.
DUBLIN CITY, it is said, will have no Reform Member.
MoNAo 'IAN. —Here will be change, not of the rein e-
sentative, but of the party. Mr. Chapsnan's vote in favour
of the Bill has rendered him popular ‘‘i!li the Reform
party, who take him up warmly, whilst these by Whorl he
was originally returned, now turn upon' I.ini, and become
his opponents.
WEXFORD TOWN.—Sir Edward Dering has serious ap-
prehensions. Those who are in the secret, say not unfounded
ODES.

QUEEN'S COUNTY.-Our informant says very little cere-
mony will be used towards the present MemLer, Sir C harles
Coote. Mr. Cassidy, it is said, Will paint out to Liu the
road to Reform.

Newits.—Where is the reforming spirit of thy great
namesake (ancestor he certainly was nct) Mr. Knox The
independents of Newry reject thee, John Knox.
SCOTLAND.—In this independent and well reprk dented
part of the empire, where ye are toad the people repttdinte
reform, the numbers, as early as the•; can be ascertained,
are, for the bill of Lord John Russel:, fifteen ; against it,
twenty-seven. Three members have not vet declared their
sentiments. A dissolution would, it is thought, Ovs a re-
turn in favour of the measure.
The conclusion which we draw from these our anticipa.
tions, is, that a dissolution of parliament and genet ;,1 elec-
tion, will give to Mini:l:n.3 an advantri,-o ❑pon the great
question to the following extent : .

Early on Thursday morning the farm premises of Mr. Jenne; of
New Close, in the reighbourhood of St. John's Commons, were disco.
vered to he on fire. Notwithstanding the most active exertions were
used to quell the raging element, a wheat stack and two ricks were de-
stroyed before the conflagration was subdued. That it was the work of
an incendiary no one can doubt, as the fire was observed in two places
at the same timc. The farm, we understand, belongs to J. M. Cripps,

In the afternoon of the same day the Proctors of the last year went
out of office, and the new Proctors were admitted, with the usual so-
lemnities. The very Rev. the Dean of Christ Church presented the
Rev. Dania Veysie. M.A. and student of Christ Church; as the Se-
nior Proctor, for the ensuing year; and Vice-President of Magdalen
College (Professor Doubt-my) presented the Rev. R. M. White, M.A.
Fellow of Magdalen, as Junicr Proctor, who, having taken the accus-
