From the Spectator.
A movement against the Corn Laws is going OF
"out of DOORS" which, perhaps, indicates n NOR
deep rooted and general dislike to that law than al
the ostentatoUs agitation of the summer. Meet
ings recorded m great number OF places, TO pc
titOn the Queen against prorogatton, until the ques
tons Of the day shall have been fairly discussed il
Parliament. Manchester began the movement
few weeks back, and 1t has increased in strength
from week to week. IL differs in many cssentia
circumstances from any previous agitation for the
same object; il is evoked under the auspices Of
party IN power; It the very heels OF n
seeming defeat at the General Election; its imme.
date purpose is more than Of being frus
tra'cd at once Tor cart loads Of memorials to the
Queen will not prevent the new Ministry from pro.
roguing Parliament next week. Nevertheless, the
people meet, confer and menori'ze, with Us much
perseverance as It they were certain of success
That must mean something Ii probably means
this, that the people arc tired OF peiitionns the
Hous, o: Commons; they have lost all confidence
IN their own House so they appeal to the only
other D the three Estates whose dsposlion towards
them admits of a hopeful construction; yet as they
cannot, and obviously do not, expect much pracli.
cal results from that they are SIMPLY going through
n form. When people con'ent quietly aud uni
form,y 20 through set forms sOrt OF moral dril-
ling, Il is certain that they must have some very
, distinct and determined object IN view. The next
popular step will be matter OF grief interest TO the
speculative politician: the statesman will be wise
not TO neglect the present.

From the Chronicle
The Chronicle, abiding to certain rumors
spec,ing dissensIons Ia the Cabinet, says:
"it Is loleraby certain that if any materis
change is 10 lake pace in the Cotn'la~s, the Right
Hon. Blrone,t must get rid OF some OF his col
ia,.uss IN the interval between this and the mex
session. Ii we could suppose Sir Robert Peel l,
believe either that there was no distress IN the coun
trv or that the distress was not mainly caused bl

The Duke of Wellington stated IN The House

his colleagues, therefore, agree on the subject
