Considerable altercation arose in the election of the

who voted amounted to 194.

It is a circumstance well deserving of remark,
that there appears a concatenation in the course of
the dreadful events, which have occurred dewing
the last eight or ten mouths of great political agW
Ration. It is also not lilts worthy of pollee, that
When the great law (.11if Ts of the Crown are con-
templating an Act which is to deprive a British
subject of a right or franchise, they contr:be to
weave two objects or circumstances together which'
are very dissimilar in themselves, but are made
one by'a forced junction. This is strongly instanced
tie tie Bill brought into Parliament by Sir S. &JET-
UM, tor abolishing the Right of Appeal, which bad
*Mt* nothing to do, in reason, with the " Wee
ger of Battle," but with which it was coupled aid
carried through Parliament, to the grief of the
people, and the shame of the press ; tor, excepting
TIM CHAMPION and TIM STATESMAN, seareely one
London journal took the matter into consideration ;
assuredly none treated it with due zeal. These
two papers affirmed, at the time, that the nation
would have to rue the effect of the abolition of this
onlitable and sacred right: it has done that, in the
ntborised assassination and massacres at Man-
chester. Our prophetic great lawyers anticipated
the insidious design of doing away the Right of
Appeal, before the swords of the military sbould.be
sharpened. Again, blasphemy and *edition have
no common principle between them, and yet they
are hashed up together to make one dish. A
man who should once take it into his head to pro-
duce a book which would be called blasphemous,
might still be loyal to the Government, whether
the character and principle of that Government
`were republican or monarchical. Again, the most
vehement seditious writer against one or other of
the above Governments, might have a strong aver-
sion, nevertheless, to produce any thing in print
which should in the remotest manner be construed
as blasphemous. All this, in our Attorney and So-
licitor General, is not frank and generous ; it ex-
hibits the workings rather of a cold sullen calcu-
lator and of a double defiler: in fact, it smacks
more of the pettifogger than the honest lawyer.

petrel Training to Anse, received the Royal /talent
on Saturday. Would that a Bill or Bills could be
brought into Parliament for tranqnillizing the mil-
lions of opt fellow-subjects in the United Kingdom,
and securing to them what it is but reasonable they
should enjoy: viz. the means of subsistence for their
labour. To ...sure men in society of this, is the
object of all governmeut ; and if by misrule or 'a
less condemnable cause, the designs of men who
have relinquished certain natural rights for the ad-
vantage of a social compact, have been frustrated,
it behoves those in poWer. who witness the evils
springing from such a state of things, immediately
to set about correcting these errors and omissions.
We arc glad to hear that a few Noblemen and
Commoners, of patriotic distinction, who have not
only protested in public against the too long perse-
vered-in measures of Ministers, but have also held
an intercourse in private, are about resolving how
beat to serve, and in that view, to save the country
is the coming hour of peril.

The importance of the measures now in progress
thumb both Houses, and of the circumstances,
true, tabs, or exaggerated, on which they have
Pomaded, has lately engrossed our whole at-
lasPoo. It is time now to look a little about us,
tali sleiteider what is passing in other countries.

of somptelts bare suspended for a while the full
Eilsowelbs of their designs. The celebrated Mentz
Consmiloien has not yet opened its sittings. The
enamel in which its members were received, and
the gettersl disgust and indignation of the people
through every German state, have produced bene-
ficial results. The evil day, if not entirely averted,
is at least put of; and new Conti- , ,tqg mi!ct

in the accomplishment of the dc.,tinies of Ger-
many. it is capable of much good and of much
lova. It may serve to enable Sovereigns, by in-
quiry soda calmer view of things, to ascertain that
their true interests are inseparable from dowse of
their people, and that free Constitutions, by set-
Ithog the claims and cleaning the rights of all, add
to the real security of thrones. It may, on the
other hand, be used to consolidate the league of
'Kings; to muster up their forces, and to aecunsulate
a mass of military power capable of repressing for a
time the very thought of resistance or revolution.
