at Cambridge was no more than all would expect
him. The other gentlemen who came forward on this
occasion merit the highest romtnenivieas, which r.

at large.
We hare, then, at last, seen the Cothet;ee pwit:43
for reform of Parliament We were taunted, fa
many years, with the sileAre of the saki 1k ecru en this
'subject and that silence was interpreted to mean fli..
appramtion of the cause of Ma'm. Lord lArzeraot,
in May, IWO, used the siteece of the middle class,
the "sowedmidella class", as a proof, that me reform
was wanted. Oaght be not sew, thee, to confess,tbat
their praying for rfform is a proof that it is wanted?
he deny this ? Will be now fig of, and
say, that he did not mean/inners aid tradesmen?—
Will Le call batilcere, met chants, masters of sulenin.,:.
jennies, big-brewers, and tacwaters, the middle ea,:s!
Or will he amuse, with Lard CASTLERLAti:I, Cilia the
" edecfstiost of the country" poly is to he beard on
the stebject. and that that " (devotion" is to Le
found only in the heads of thow: under whose tci.

two-thirde of die farmers in limes are in a state of
insolvency? Will Lord LIVIIIIPOin now clung his
tone, and assert this? Or will he frankly mem,
that there is now ground f.r entcrtaiiiiag, at lease,
this great question of reform ? We should oaly be
deceiving our readers, if we seemed to suppose, 04,1
he would do the latter.

Nevertheless, somvAi..g. mutt be dose! Vaio, indeed.
