confidence. - Sir RonEnT PEEL has done more for -the
dissenters during the few 'days he "has been in office than
Lord JonN did iu the four years of
.the Whig. adminis-
tration.

Now, then, is the tiriie to strike another blow. The
nation is tired of faction, of political and party squab-
bling, of personal invectives,of angry taunts, of " vulgar
insolence," of nightly exhibitions of bravado and men-
dacity If the vote of last night, therefore, or of to-night,
or of to-morrow night, be against ministers, we sincerely
hope that such measures will be adopted as shall expedite i
a second appeal .to the people at large. There can be no
mistake now as to the intentions or the policy of Sir
ROBERT PEEL. Whoever doubted or suspected him a
few weeks ago can do so no. longer. He is supported
by the country. He has no majority to contend against
except in the House of Commons ; and if the people
will it, as we believe they are inclined to do, that majo-
rity would very speedily be reduced to an insignificant.
minority. If, the people, contrary to our conviction,l
should not so act, then to revolution we must come—a i•
sweeping, a terrible revolution—an upturning of the
ridges, a removal of the, landmarks, a sifting of the debt,
a confiscation of:the crown, church, and abbey lands— i
a robbery of tbe.national creditor, the lay imrropriator,
the. pensimier, the sinecurist, and last of all, THE POOR,
in the total abolition of the poor laws. If we are to
have revolution THE SOONER IT COMES THE BETTER. I

Our attention has been called to a bill introduced
into the House of Commons, for the purpose of "regu-
lating the carriage of passengers in merchant vessels.
frOm the united kingdom to the British possessions on
the continent, and islands of, North America." It has
already been printed by order of the house. As we are
inclined to, believe that the bill has originated in mis-
take, we'are unwilling to speak of it as its enactments
demand, until we are favoured with some additional
information, Tile trade of carrying emigrants to Ame-
rica has been runclOtbused, and the poor people sub-
jected to cruelties and .oppressions beyond belief. But
the evil which requireS the speediest remedy has little
or no connexion with emigration directly to the North
American colonies. The law does not regulate the car-
riage of passengers to the United States. Thousands
of these persons go first to New York en route to
Canada, and tliere is no law by which they can be pro-
tected from extortion and fraud, from starvation or
dreadful sufferings during the passage: The same may
be said of the emigrant trade to New South %Vales, the
Cape of Good Hope, and other settlements. We throw
out these hints for the present, proinising to recur to
the subject.

It is with great reluctance that we bring the conduct
of the Reverend- EDWARD HULL once more before the
public. But he has himself solely to blame. He has
chosen to cast reflections upon
,several if not all of: the
gentlemen who . form the committee of management of
the Asylum fog the Blind, and it is bard to expect that
they.should submit to undeserved censure, and coarse
attacks, in silenCe. It is a pity that the reverend gentle.
man has no sensible advisers, or that having them he
should scorn their counsel, thereby showing the world.
that a vain man is generally his own detractor; and that
Mr. HULL is Mr. HuLL's'worst enemy.

HiS conduct before the committee alluded to .has
alrAdy been the-subject of public remark, and it is now
a matter of notoriety anything but favourable to Mr.
HULL-or the interests of the charitable institution out of
whose funds be is so amply and, as we think, extrava-
gantly provided for. Not content with attacking these
gentlemen at the committee board and through the me-
dium of the newspapers, the reverend gentleman has
printed what is called a report of his speech, which he'
has, in rather a sinister way, circulated among his friends
and acquaintanee. This we take leave to say is not only
a disingennous.but even a dishonourable mode of attack-
ing private gentlemen equally if not fully as respectable
as. himself. .

Mr. HULL states that he has been "grossly misrepre-
sented by a member of the body," meaning thereby a
member of the committee of management.. In another
place he. says The resolution having been _rejected
by the committee; I requested that my name might be
withdrawn froth. the committee, as I considered that an
imputation had been cast upon my honour, and that I
had been trtossrx INSULTED'- " •
These are hard words indeed. Those who do not
know Mr. Hum: as well as we do will very naturally
imagine that he has been an extremely ill-used man—
that he has received some deep affront—that he has suf-
fered sonic grievous wrong. All this is a mere phantOm
conjured up by thereverend gentleman himself ; for the
gross insult is like Puffs story of a broken leg and seven
motherless -children; upon which he had subsisted for
nearly half a year. Ail the injury which Mr. HULL has
sustained is the revocation of a 'very impertinent resolu-
tion entered upon the waste book of the instittition at
his request. When this was done—and it was done
unanimously—not a single remark was offered by any of
the gentlemen present. It was Proper that such a reso-
lution should not be suffered to remain even in the ob-
scure corner where he had placed it. It was,-therefore,
blotted out, and hence the gross insult !
After this the public will be able to appreciate the
Serious complaints of Mr. HULL. We would advise him
to-- take some soothing syrup and remain quiet for the
next three months. This fretting, fuming, and making
mountains out. Of erums is not calculated to minister to
his serenity or usefulness- It only makes him ridiculous,
and gives occasion to those to laugh who would other-
wise pity, him. Our friendly advice, he may depend upon
it, is the best after all.

City, Irql-peat Seven o'clock, Saturday Evening.,
We understand that Lord Eliot has been dispatched by our
government to Don uartos, with propositions for the evacuation
of Spain, and also with a►► expression of the determination of
the English cabinet, in conjunction with France, to put an end
to the unnatural contest prevailing in the peninsula, a contest
;n which the sanguinary massacres perpetrated speak far. more
of the character of the savage than of that of civilized man. We
also learn, this. afternoon, that intelligence has reached Paris
entirely contradicting the reported illness of Mina. This man
of blood, it appears, ►s so far from ill, that he was preparing a
grand blow of slaughter, and hrd formed plans for carrying on
his war of extermination-upon a larger scale than heretofore.
A notice hasbeen issued by our Postoffice this afternoon, to
the effect thattnewspapers to and fro►n Colombia, including La
Guayra, CaracCas, Cttrthagena, Bogota, &c, may. be forwarded
by the Jamaica packet free of any charge of postage.
Accounts fratn St. Lucia state, th:►t ►n consequence of the

consequent inconvenience to the island, the governor had issued
a proclamation stating, that any slave escaping From any foreign

of that ancient institution.

SOMETHING MYSTERIOUS.—The Dublin correspondent of the
Morning Herald communicates the following, which he says is
likely to give employment to the gentlemen of the long I.i-die:
" A few months ago, an eminent merchant in this city, who,
together with his lady, was remarkable for the profuse lavishing
of his money towards 'Oman Catholic charities, has, much to
the surprise and consternation of the mercantile woi Id, stopped'
payment. Oaa meeting of the credifors it was discovered, in
addition to the vexation of the assets being much less than what
might have been reasonably expected, that a very large sum of
money—alleged to be the properly of the lady—had been so
vested in a religious Society of ladies, that to lay a finger on it
seemed wholly out of the question. However, cane of the cre-
ditors, an attorney, thought otherwise, and forthwith prepared
to take such measures as would be most likely to recover th
cash from the pious sisters ; and as a foretaste of his intentions;
he laid a detainer on the body corporate of one of the highest
functionaries of the lloraish church, who, it appears, had medi=
toted a continental trip pending the disclosures likely to he rep
veuled by this singular transacte.n, as his reverence's evidence
is considered to be of the utmost importance,"
