ING, OCTOBER 5, 1841

A writer in Fraser of this month pleads with the
clergy for the administration of Sir Robert Peel, and
that the right hon. Baronet is
t, and that he ought to he sup-
on an argument of this kind,

argues with much f

entitled to thei

ported by then__
perhaps the very first observation that occurs to one's
mind is, that it can scarcely be called for. To ask the
clergy to support Sir Robert Peel is to insinuate that
the clergy are not themselves ready to do so—to sup-

pose that they have been most inattentive to contem-
porary history—and that they apply the same set of
unbending rules to men, which as consistent politicians
or thinkers merely, they would be bound to do to
measures. The writer in question could scarcely con-
ceive that the very choice scurrility which appeared
some short time since in the British Critic, received
the sanction of the clergy, or conveyed in any degree
a just reflection of their sentiments towards the right
hon. Baronet. The British Critic is a Puseyite jour-
nal, and so far as polemical opinion goes, may perhaps
be an organ of the paseyite party ; but it is not
arguing fairly to identify the members of that sect
with all other things which may appear in the maga-
zine, and to conclude that because Mr. Newman, or
istant, attacks Sir Robert Peel
, all clerical high churchmen

But the writer in Fraser goes a step further than
perhaps many clergymen would feel disposed to go;
for he calls upon them directly to support Sir Robert
Peel individually—not his government merely, but his

personal power

conceive this to be a step too

By holding on this independent course, the Conser-
vative party will not be disabled from giving to the
premier the most efficient support possible. It will
not be the less efficient because it is in some degree
independent; indeed, it will be much more so on this
very account. For example, the premier supports the
grant to Maynooth College ; he has always done so,
and could not be expected to turn round on a sudden
accession to office, and reject the grant. Well, but is
it necessary that the Conservatives should now be si-
lent, and let the grant be continued from year to year,
without further opposition ? Certainly not ; and whe-
ther it be personally agreeable to the premier or other-
wise, we do affirm that to oppose and agitate against
such measures, will do more service to the Conserva-
tive cause and ministry than if we immediately sub-
mitted to them with the tamest acquiescence and most
time-serving servility. It is a great gain to have ex-
pelled the Papist-bound, O'Connell-driven ministry
from office, and to have exchanged for it one which
wears no such degrading livery, and, we may be quite
sure, will never consent so to do. But must we, on
this account, cease to be curious about the spirit in
which, for instance, Ireland shall be governed ? Must
we, therefore, cease to be jealous for the Protestant go-
vernment, and education of the rising generation of
that country, and whatever else may contribute to bind
the people in closer attachment to this, and promote
the general welfare of the empire ? Assuredly not.
Indifference of this sort would be a loosening of the
bands of Conservatism—a relaxation of its energies
much more likely to do injury to the Peel administra-
tion, than in any degree to serve it. So also with re-
gard to church extension, and a true conservative po-
licy in this country, must we resign our care on these
subjects, and leave them altogether in the hands of the
minister ? Is the simple fact of Sir R. Peel being in

office a sufficient discharge to us of all further concern
on their account ? Really this would he increasing
the minister's responsibilities greatly, and evincing
anything but a friendly disposition towards his govern-
ment. Ministers sometimes like to be driven—must
have an excuse for doing what perhaps they are not
unwilling to do of their own accord; but they must
have a good pretext for it. Therefore we say, let our
Protestant Associations, and all other good forms of
Conservative action and operation, continue. Sir R.
Peel will not be the worse for them. The river will
not rise higher than its source ; but it will rise as high.
Let us look to the source then, and, despising those
insinuations of " division in our camp," which the Ra-
dicals would fain turn to account, let us attend, with-
out swerving, to the promotion of such measures as
we are sure cannot fail most essentially to serve the

tressing as they were exciting.
Sir R. PEEL took that opportunity of correcting sonic
statements made on a former night by the hon. members for
Stockport, Ashton, and Manchester, as to the prevalence of
the distress. The right hon. baronet read some extracts
from the reports of Manchester savings banks, in order to
show that the deposits had increased during the last four
months, as compared with the same period in the years since
1837. He then proceeded to read the returns from the re-
turns from the fever hospitals, to show that typhus fever had
also decreased within the last year. He did not state these
facts as proofs of the non-existence of distress, but he thought
that they might be taken as some presumption that the ex-
isting distress was exaggerated. The right hon. baronet was
proceeding to reply to statements used on a former occasion,
when
Mr. M. GIBSON rose to order. It was the rule of the
house that no reference should be made to former debates,
and the right hon. baronet was not only violating the rule,
but he was not dealing fairly by the right hon. members who
had made the statements referred to ; for, having no notice
of the right hon. baronet's intention, they were unprepared
to reply to the statements he was making.
Sir R. PEEL, said it was extremely hard to stop him by en-
forcing the rules of the house when he was about to give
some information to the house which must afford gratifica-
tion and consolation to the public, inasmuch as it tended to
show that the country, however distressed, was not in the
horrible state of destitution and misery which might be sup-
posed from what had fallen in former debates. Under the
circumstances the right hon. baronet contented himself with
reading his documents, and resumed his seat.
After some further discussion, in which Mr. M; Gibson,
Mr. Cobden, Lord Sandon, Mr. Hardy, and Mr. Aldam
took part, the motion was agreed to.
On the motion that the house should resolve itself into
committee on the Exchequer bills bill,
Sir C. NAPIER expressed a hope that the right hon. Bart.
(Sir R. Peel) would give an assurance that parliament should
not be prorogued until the safety of Mr. M`Leod was as-
sured.
Sir R. PEEL, said he could give no such assurance.
The house then went into committee, and a clause of ap-
propriation was agreed to.
The house then resumed, the other orders of the day were
disposed of, and the house adjourned.
HOUSE OF LORDS.—FRIDAY.
On the motion of Lord Brougham several returns were
ordered of correspondence respecting slavery in Ceylon,
Penang, and Malacca.
The Duke of PORTLAND moved for a return of the corre-
spondence between Lord J. Russell and the magistrates of
Mansfield, and that between the Marquis of Normanby and
the Duke of Portland and others. It appeared from the
statement of the noble duke, that Lord J. Russell had
written to the magistrates of Mansfield, at the period of the
apprehended disturbance in that neighbourhood, requiring
them to be active in the discharge of their duties in putting
down seditious meetings ; and that in consequence of this
letter a search for arms took place in the house of a than
named Broyan. Mr. Unwin, one of the magistrates, made
the search without a warrant. In reply to a letter to the
Home-office, communicating some documents which had
been found in the house, Mr. Phillips declared that Lord
John Russell thanked the magistrates for the course they
had pursued. Subsequently an action was brought by Broyan
against Mr. Unwin, which action was twice tried, and on the
last trial a verdict was returned for the plaintiff with one
farthing damages, the judge refusing to certify for costs. Mr.
Unwin claimed to be defended at the expense of the govern-
ment, on the faith of Lord John Russell's letters, but the
Marquis of Normanby resisted the application, on the ground
that Mr. Unwin had acted illegally, and was not warranted
in the course he had pursued by anything in the original
letter of Lord John Russell. This, the noble duke con-
tended, was very hard-upon Mr. Unwin, who had zealously
exerted himself to preserve the peace, and who, in the house
of Broyan, had seized some documents which Lord John
Russell had declared to be very important evidence should a
prosecution be instituted against the parties whom they
implicated.
The Marquis of NORMANDY defended the course he had
adopted, and said if the correspondence were produced the
noble duke would find that those who bad placed the case
before him had omitted many particulars which would throw
a very different light upon the transaction. The noble lord
would remember that it Mr. Unwin thought himself ag-
grieved he might now take the opinion of another govern-
ment. Mr. Unwin had acted illegally, and had no right to
call upon the government for au indemnity. The letter of
Lord J. Russell was a circular to all the magistracy of the
country ; and yet, of all these, Mr. Unwin was the only one
who had brought himself into such a position as to have an
action brought for the illegality of his proceedings.
Lord WHARNcLIFFE was afraid there was a bias in the
mind of the noble marquis in this, as in the sister country,
to look with an eye less favourable on the conduct of the
magistrates than on that of those to whom they were op-
posed. He admitted that Mr. Unwin acted without a war-
want ; but if he had a regular information that there were
arms for an illegal purpose in a certain house, he had a right
to go himself, without a warrant, to seize those arms. The
only error committed by Mr. Unwin, therefore, was that he
had no right to search for papers ; but then it was to be con-
sidered that, in the state of the country at the time, a magi-
strate would not be doing his duty if, while searching for
arms, he found papers implying the existence of a conspiracy,
and had not immediately seized those papers. When magi-
strates were called upon to perform arduous duties, such as
fell upon the magistracy throughout the country during the
chartist riots, he thought it was too hard to tie them down
to the strictest forms of the law, where they were honestly
endeavouring to preserve the peace of the community. It
was, however, impossible to agree to the motion before the
house, and he might also remark that there was great diffi-
culty in taking the sense of another government upon the
question. He hoped, therefore, his noble friend would be
content with what had passed, and without his motion.
Lord BROUGHAM contended that Mr. Unwin had acted
illegally us the course he had pursued, but thought it was an
error of judgment arising from zeal.
The Duke of PORI LAND then withdrew his motion.
The bills on the table were then forwarded a stage, and the
house adjourned.

FOREIGN INTELT.4O.ENC,E,

WEST INDIES

Her Majesty's packet Swift, Lieut. Douglas, arrived at
Falmouth on Wednesday. The following were her sailing
dates :—Frorn Barbadoes, August 13, St. Lucie and Martin-
ique, 15, Dominique and Guadoloupe, 16, Antigua, 17, Mont-
serrat, Nevis, and St. Kitt's, 18 ; Tortola, 19, and arrived at
St. Thomas's on the same day, where she remained for the
Leewards Islands and Jamaica mails until Sept. 5, when she
left for England. To the date of her starting there was no
intelligence of the arrival at Barbadoes of the following
packet, the Magnet. She has brought on freight about
60,000 dollars, and passengers, Mrs. Jeffers and family, Mr.
Trot, Mr. Hope, Mr. M'Evoy, Dr. Phillips, and Signor
Allingo. The House of Assembly at Jamaica was further
prorogued by his Excellency the Governor, from August 30
to Oct. 5, by proclamation. It had been mooted that the
jurisdiction of Ott Courts of Quarter Session should be ex-
tended from £2O old currency to £5O sterling. His Excel-
lency the Governor commuted the sentence of death, passed
on William Young for the murder of a policeman, to trans-
portation for life.
We regret to state that our accounts from the islands, par-
ticularly-from Dominica, Martinique, Guadaloupe, St. Kitt's,
and Jamaica, represent the continued prevalence of sickness ;
and among the deaths recorded we find that of the lady of
the Lieutenant-Governor of Dominica.
Letters from Trinidad demonstrate the prosperity of that
island; and an assurance is afforded of, at least, 5,000 hogs-
heads of sugar being realised next season beyond that of the

past.
By the arrival of the Jane, at Kingston, Jamaica, from
Carthagena, we are informed that the rebel General Cor-
mona still besieged that place. The Jane reports, that on
reaching her destination she made for a small harbour in the
vicinity, named San Domingo, where she landed her cargo
without any obstruction ; but that the Little William which
followed her from this port, made direct for Boca Chica,
where she was laid hold of by Carmona's gun boats. For-
tunately, however, 11. M. schooner Pickle was in sight, and
went up to her relief. Carmona made some show of resist-
ance, but did not venture an attack, and the Pickle bore her
off in safety. On Sunday night, when the Jane left, the
Susan, another venture from this port, was also going into
San Domingo, all well.
Desertions were still taking place in Carthagena, and no
faith or dependence was to be placed in either party. The
Government squadron had returned, as was expected, with
another vessel—the Santander, which they fell in with at
Zapote, taking in cocoa nuts on account of a Mr. Gregg ;
and being under Columbian colours, they had pressed her

gOipplng fatelitgencr.
