The Country Gendemn of Ragland have often
been likened to an Swish Seek of sheep ; sad,

wheelie appeal was made to their pockets or their

nyder esseem, that they submitted to be fleeced
to the very Ain, like the animal they were said to
represent, without the smallest win or resistance;
bet, added be, take bat a guinea oat of the parse
of the Capitalist ; is other words, one bristle
only from the neck of the keg, and be will squeak,
and grunt, and roar, to the disturbance of the
Royal Exchange and the whole City. We will
answer for it, however, that, in this ease, &rude*,
ea well as wool, will be taken to make up the
amount required.

The discussion of the infernal assures to which
Britons must now submit, hes produced one proud
event to stand against the dire infliction by their
power: and that is, the demonstration of the
gentry possessing men of the most transcendent
abilities, such as never before adorned any national
Senate. We, at 'the first instant, pronounced the
et.comium due to the author of the " Vintheige
Galicia," and foretold his fame. His lumissoes,l
logical, and rhetorical declamations on the wonted
bane of his country's freedom, have Billy made out
prophecy. His polished diction and display of in-
tellect have surprised and pleased every hearer ;
insomuch, that we arc sure that in any senate in
the world, except one impregnated to the last Ibre
in corruption, his oratory could not have been ex-
ermed in vain. Does not this circumstance more
than any other show how necessary it is to be rid
of the pest of the boroughnionger'og system route

If :Minister, could make jrrirs as different and
diotinct from the community at large, as they and
die Court nick, soldiers from the citizens, then
might they assare themselves of that vengeance
against the Press, with which its exposition of
their weakness and incapacity has inspired them.
But the thing is impossibk : British jurymen will
still be Britons, though we cannot but apprehend
much m!bellief will be done, by the unnatural
power conferred op the Law Of of the Crown,
before Englishmen in galena are alive to the
dreadful tendency of the measures in question.

The Petition which W 35 presented by Mr. IRMO
last night to the HOMO of tiooto•ons, from certain
merchants of London, pruyin,; that cis inquiry
should be instituted into the eneses of the present
commercial distress of tho kingdom, in order, if
possiLle, that some measure may be adopted to re-
:neve it, or alleviate its effects, has originated from
a motive that some men will approve of more than
Gibers. It may be instanced, perhaps, as confirm-
ing the truth of what the author of the " Fable of
the 11,:es" says, vit. that " public vices produce
public benefits."

We will take an opportunity of saying something
more upon this subject at our leisure : in the mean
while, let it be t nierstood as not having the ins-
/aims:yr of the Governor and Directors of the
Bank of England at its lout. Lord CASTLEREAGH,
who is considered a more inflexible hero than his
colleague in the Cabinet, hi:. VANSITTART, w•as

was expected he would direct his march towards
Santa Martha, where the Spanish garrison is small,
and the inhabitants disposed in his favonr. The
