Nobleman, and that Nobleman a Lord of the Bed-
chamber, implies in the very reason, as well as the I,
name, of the thing, a disqesiiication for being a
a Member of the Common* House of Parliament.
'Tirere better at once, as being more frank and
candid, in boat the other branches of our body
politic, to declare open war optimal the Deese-
erotic part, although it would be • kind of
treason and rebellion to do so. For whence did the
Mowerchical sad Aristocratical portions of the State
arise ? What bands placed the heed (the Crown)
where it is? What hands fed the overleaped body
(the .4 rigoerecy)? Why that number which is now
despised, ran down, and csiumniated, because it es-
pressos its disappointment and its rage in unmeasured
terms. Dalety words, and choice phrases are not in
the nature sad companion of whet we ere speaking

strained in this analogy. The Intention of power

the philosophic mind, that doctrines in themselves
absurd, and which imply supernatural agency,
meet with salape►ter, in plenty, while mysticism
(Johanna Southcote for instsoce) has plenty of fol-

Eagliehmeri believe that the same effect which has
followed the same Cause in every part of the world,
will take place in England.

of Commons before that Assembly can be purified.

feel a distinct affection for the army with which we

good Christians accounted in a strange way for the
rather brightened countenance of the Steek.Eachange,
on this day, which was, that the rich Jews, with their
darker complezions, were absent on the occasion of

A Ministerial Paper of last night says : —ts Such
various reports have existed, end so much peek is at
this tints excited, occasioned, as would seem, by whet
is seppoend to be passing in the Bank Committees, that
we have felt it our duty to make every enquiry in
Tour power. Of course we cannot pretend to sate to
the Public easel, what has been passing in those
Committees. This, however, we may say, and with-
est fear of contradiction :—Most properly and jut-
ditioesly the Committees, both of the Lords sod
C 0....., have employed themselves in taking the
evidence elan such persons es would have the best
means of giving interrogation upon the sobjecta re-
ferred to those Committees for their enquiry.
