Some of the Liberal journals, which were last year firm

allies of as Whig-Radical Ministry, exhibit disgust at the recent conduct of the Whigs. Among these is the Liverpool Albion; which says- " All faith in public melt begins to be paraly z•el and shaken. The Liberal put are lost in amazement at the strung.. miliaria of those la hum they have been nerd regard as th sir natural leaders. liven the London Ce,rier, herelohlre a stsi,lrj, !miter of the Nt Misters, has now °plied a raking fire open them, and, in no nleastek terms, rietiounees Lord Juba Russell as ' the snake in the grass' that does the We have int,selv es heard of some not-ible instances of his Lordship's double (leaky, allich may he revealed sonic day.

The time for "amazement" at Whig treachery was many montlu back, when AIinisters threw over the Reformers, and allied themselves with the 'Posies and the Court. The same Liverpool paper, iu refer. mice to the lute session, says- " The farce is over.

All very true ; but the " trimming and treachery " was as real, and nearly as apparent, a twelvemonth ago as now.

The Durham Chronicle's eyes are also opened.

The same paper is justly indignant at the Alinisters' abandonment of Lord Durham-

" 'Elie first exclamation of every individual who rends time Parliamentary debates or the week will be, that Lord Diahant is the worst-used man in the Queen's dominion'. It was input, a to Ministers that they only sent him to Canada in the hope &destroy- ing him ; and right irelustriutisly have they exerted themselves to jestity the charge. Their trim, ly tt uaiiiag under the Tory onslaught for which Mr. Tarton's typist merit fornisileil the hypocritical pretence, has been succeeded by conduct still gore lael.errel,, still more Later tuul ignuntillieus."

The Durham Chronicle is right. Whatever question as to the legality of Lord Durham's proceedings there may be, there is none whatever as to the treachery and baseness of the Ministerial treatment

of Mtn.

The Glasgow Argus (a Whig-Radical paper, which opposed Mr. Roebuck on his late visit to Glasgow,) has some striking senteneeson the close of the session, and what may happen hereafter, and soon- " Imes has the longest and idlest session on record gone out noiselessly, and like the last smuky flash or an expiring Callkile.
