Postscript. (2)

Two or three changes, occasioned by deaths and removals, have occurred while the work has been printing, but they are of too great publicity to need particularizing. We may also remark that the observations at pages 376 and 502 were printed prior to the publication of the Navy Estimates. The energy with which sir J. Graham has proceeded to new-model the department over which he presides will leave, we apprehend, little to desire in that branch of the public service.

After the explanations of the Duke of Wellington (House of Lords, March 16th) we suppose we must acquit his Grace of the design imputed to him, p. 584, and conclude that he had no intention of joining the continental despots in a crusade against the liberties of France and Belgium.—May not this be an afterthought of the ex-Premier, like his famous explanation on the subject of Parliamentary Reform?

In the printed Reform Bill, as amended in committee by the House of Commons, Wallingford forms one of the semi-disfranchised boroughs, and ought to have been inserted in No. IV. instead of No. V. of our Tables, page 614.

In No. VII. page 615, Chatham should be inserted and Swansea omitted.

On bringing up the Report, Merthyr Tydvil was included in the number of enfranchised boroughs.
