MisisTearat Loolc.---Every unprejudiced Radical must now see tat his friends,
the Ministers, cannot directly strengthen their position, %.rsend up by more commanding majorities to the House of Lords, the measures they desire to carry. He cannot, therefore, have the same reason, or the same excuse for distrust and coldness; nor can be, if he be a sensible as well as a sincere man, hesitate to make common cause with a party so placed, against the common enemy, who would obtain place only to stifle patriotism, perpetuate prejudices, foster in- tolerance, practise oppression, and promote amongst all classes the diffusion of useful ignorance.— courier.
In his work on " Turkey, Greece, and Malta," Mr. Adolphus Slade accused Mr. George Mitrovich, known in this country as agent for a considerable party in Malta, of animating the Maltese mob by nightly speeches " haranguing on their English oppressors—on revenge—on the hope of draining their life.blood ; and, lest these topics should fail, be told them he bad documents in his bosom to prove that the English aimed at the subversion of the Catholic faith." Mr. Mitrovich has addressed a letter to Lord Gienclg, declaring that this statement is utterly false, and referring to his own and his family's well.known loyalty. On one occasion only did he publicly speak at Malta, in a coffeehouse ; and then his sentiments were any thing but disloyal ; for at the close of his harangue, several British naval officers and English residents drank the healths of the late King. the Parliament, prosperity to the British nation, Mr. E,.vart, and union between England and Malta, in bumpers of champagne. Mr. Mitrovich requests Lord Glenelg to ordcr the Attorney- G.meral of Malta to investigate the cir- cumstance, and report thereon toGovernment.
We grieve to announce that Professor Wilson, the editor of Black. ?curd's EdinIntryk Magazine, and proprietor of the beautiful villa at Elleray, on the eastern bank of Windermere, has fallen into a state of mental incapacity, " the last infirmity of noble minds,"-from which his nearest friends seem to have little hope of his recovery. We do not know when an event came to our knowledge bringing with it a train of reflections more painful than that which we now most unwillingly pub- hsh.—Kendal Mercury.
