A new conservative paper has made its appearance at
Gloucester, under the title of .The Gloucestershire Chro-
nicle. From the first address of this new ally in the " good
cause," we feel great pleasure in extracting the following
84intnary of its principles on that important subject,
the established church.
'" We regard the Church of England and Ireland as the
M e Church, and we,are convinced, that her support in unim-
Paired energy is essential to the well being of the State. It
lithe cause of the old British Constitution; we care not to
change for changing sake.- It is the cause 'of AgriCultuie,
Commerce, Manufactures, of all interests, individual and corpo-
rkite, reasonably protected and fairly balanced ; we have no
empathy with the blind hard-hearted policy, which hurries
forward to an imaginary good, regardless who may be involved
iu ruin, what rights and laws may be trampled on. In a word,
It is the cause of true Apostolical of sound, manly,
Consistent Morality ; of Religion and Morality, such as our
forefathers recommended, not merely to be talked of as good
things for individuals, but to be practised also by the nation as
'ruck: never to be childishly disparaged for the expediency of
the moment, far less to be basely sacrificed to a cool, inordinate,
calculating selfishness, but to be venerated and cherished, at
Whatever price as the only secret of our country's peace and
Prosperity. This is our cause. Be appearances what they may,
We will never believe that it can be too late to assert it, or that
any l)sincere endeavour of the kind, however insignifitant, can
.5 wholly thrown away."

'he ministry shows by its organ of the Press how
11144 it is chagrined at the success of Lord Ashley, and
Pretends that by it the poor factory children will be de-
prived of the benefits of education which the " factory
commission" would insure to them. How children who
°IIIY Work eight hours a day should have less time to itn-
re°re their minds by education than those who workc
11, is a paradox which our sphinx of a minister alone
134t1 solve. It seems that the factory commission has had
tPeeial instructions from the ministers, and that their
irerts will be in accordance with those instructions.
ir reception in various towns has been any thing but
flattering. If the ministry' really be sincere in its in-
terest for the factory children, why quarrel with Lord
AshleY, who gave efficiency to their good intentions,
enlarged the sphere of their benevolence ? As they
4°ll.liect to this, their sincerity may reasonably be doubted,
lieu the public may be assured that they will exert every
I've to get rid of Lord Ashley's bill. Let not their
aaceuvres on the Malt Tax be forgotten—let not their
conduct in the affair of the Coroner's Jury in the Cal-
iu°t!Pe-street affray slide from the memory. The Consti-
" is with them what Talleyrand said of the French
forfter—an umbrella which is hoisted when it rains and
vi ",ed under the arm in fair weather; they act upon it or
ta°`ate it as it suits their convenience : but it will be the
ult of the glorious majority if they do not exert as
el,llll zeal to strengthen its ranks as the ministry is ex-
a ting to recruit theirs; let them do this, and another and
more signal defeat is certain.
0 times that we can remember a ministerial minority
ii,as the certain signal of resignation, but a different feel-
g actuates our worthy Ministers, they seem to say—
Tis not in Ministers to command majorities;
„But we'll do more, Sempronius, we'll do without them.
'"„ow long such a system will last depends on the zeal
wTe supineness of their adversaries; their weakness is
l'ent, their vacillation betrays their daily fears, and it
at only for the lovers of order and good government to
p!," home, and the tottering fabric will fall to the
'l3.°llPd.---Guardian. - -
