All this may have dose for a time, but will do no longer. If the landed interest mast have wealth to keep up its influence and imp:e wer., this wealth must be woo in the fair and open field of such acquirement. It must not be made by corn laws, or kept by entails, or eked up out by governorships and high of fi ces. Nei thee will marriage with the daughters of the mercantile wealth sake to fertilise the barren soil armed the root of the heraldic tree. Other means, and prineipally those measures which tend to east slab the barriers and the divisions be tween money and land, and their respective interests, can alone prove effectual for keeping up anything like a patriciate in this country. Bat whether this is re sible or desirable in a social and legal respect, it is imperative in a financial one. Fiscally, at least, serfdom and caste must be abolished, and whatever distinctions of class other ministries and departments and court codes may keep up. the CHANCELLOR Or Tss EXCIIEQUTI at least must submit himself and his policy to the good, however revolutionary, princi ple of equality. WILT is to be done with the Woods and Forests; We have heard very little upon thii subject lately, tag tthat Treasury massagers and important 100.- fters have been continually pairing between Lord DCsealt and Lord Joss. We wonder who has got the best of it in the correspondence, end what the government really mean to do? Things, of course, are not to continue as they are—that would be M ier. beyond the questioa. la Commissioner Mites to remain as be ii, or will he re tire oa ea honourable pension ? We should strongly advise him to make hay while the sun shines and accept the latter, if be can get it. In a year or two more eves a pension may be oat of the quietists. What is Lord Durnaw gang to do ? About his lordship's coarse we should suppose there could be but hale doubt. He will move to re-appoint his old committee, perhaps infusing into it ease new blood. Will th e government oppose this motion, or try to cushion it ? Will they "earnestly of the noble lord to leave it to them to deal with," or will they state that " having considered the 'eject most attentively, they, feel its import ance to be such that they mast issue an inquiry of their own," by a rid or unpaid commission of a dozen whighop ? If either et these mama be tried, we venture to hope they will not do. Long experi ence informs us what is meant by " leaving a ques tion to her Majesty's 'Arisen." That means that they will do nothing for another year ; by which time it is their bops that the matter may grow . rusty.; We also have had some experience of " commissions. We know what they mean well. Fite whig gentlemen, probably Mr. SOMETRINO EDEN , Mr. ANYTHING EL LIOTT, Mr. THEODOSIUS HAMPDEN RUSSELL, the Hon. Humeri, PONSONNY. and Mr. Howler Gaze, are appointed to compose a board. They have a secretary at six hundred ponds a year, and just as much again for travelling expenses. The commissioners an themselves in communication with her Majesty's prim Gips' Secretary of State, and the Fog Lord COlllllMs ironer of Woods and Forests. They are re ferred for all particulars to the principal autho rities on the points of their inquiry, who are de sired to furnish them with facts and information. " Can you do better?' somebody will say. With defer ence, we think you can. The worthy gentlemen who give *shots are GREYS and ELLIOTTS too,or are close Ilesollesiens of those lucky demi. They give the facts, jest as they please, and how they please, sad whim =please. Let Lord DUNCAN impure what isdoing, you will hear that "the noble lord may rest smeared that the commission is prosecuting its in quiries with every diligence, and that its report will be laid on the table with as little delay . as per Able." Let the commission be appointed in February,. and you will tear this in March, and sort in May. it will be repeated in July. end ths " sable lord ur the 1....1 of dm" depart ment " will give the same assaranoe immediately be fore the prorogation. Fin years bean, when no good can come of it, you may hope to have the report of the commissioners. The subject will have dropped —the bluebook will be tee voluminous to read—the commissioners and their seentary will have pocketed their salaries and have established "a claim" upon the sentry, and the people will base to pry the cost without acquiring a single benefit. Oh, yes, we know what a whir commission is right well—as well, per baps, as Colonel SIBTHORP. Lord DUNCAN must stand link No tricks or non ees, should be borne. A strong and vigoross nrimente, ee the re-appointment of the committee , O be his sits. Lid him Inept of nothing less: 'I the government are convinced let them propose a =; if they are not convinced, let Lord DUNCAN with his investigations in order to oon elm these. No good reason can be shows fee taking the inquiry out of his hands. The eassinittes of last year elicited strong facts i let them begin again where they left off. 'The wintry soon will hear a great deal more than they already know. By the way, where is the " Report of my Lords Commissioners of Woods and Forests" for the present year? Where is the Appendix to Lord DUNC.AN'S papers ? Are the accounts so confused that no statement can be given P Are the documents so strong that the Woods and Forests is ashamed to let the Ap pe ndix see the light? We don't know what the Chief Commissioner may think. but it is quite right that he should know that his character is suffering by the ermine in his office. People who knew Lord Cou4sas will not believe that he is any party to suppressaag state documents ordered to be printed by the bone. But the papers are withheld, and his department is responsible for withholding them, and he, though powerless in his own office, as we know, is act the less responsible for its misdeeds. He by statism, beaks blame which properly attaches to ;mother I bat it is not lees his duty to secure that _., , these Woks are not practised. hem I Tows he found a memerld em the subject, signed by Mr. EDDIN, and other lean colonists, waiting for him. Sir Minim% deelaradens are the reverse of satis factory. In framing a government for the oolony it is most important that the views and wishes of the inhabitants should be taken into 'onside:sum It is indispensable that their local knowledge should be made available., and that care Mold be takes to make the eoestitetioo not only good but acceptable. But Sir Hans/ tells them not to trouble him with their opinion, for be has already made up his mind and despatched WIWI Garr a report on the frame of meat beat milted to them. The high-spirited o de o Is of British constitutionalists and Dutch republicans are naturally dissatisfied with being told that they are to have no voice in the framing of the constitution under which they are to live. They are moreover rendered suspicious by the studied reserve with which Sir HENRI' evades the communica tion of any of the details of the constitution be has re commended. It is not enough to tell them that their legislate» is to Informed on the model of the British, foe this may include the rotten boroughs of Britain. And it is evident that with Sir HENRY military consi derations have outweighed all others in determining his recommendations to Earl Garv. He told the gen tlemen who waited on him at Elisabeth Town, "I must observe, that however important I may cons ider the Cape of Good Hope . as a colonial possession of the British empire, I conceive that its importance at pre sent consists chiefly in its advantages as a military position." What with Sir HENRY'S reserve, and what with his unconscious revelations of the superior importance he attributes to military over political and economical considerations, it is impossible not to entertain mis givings respecting his fitness for making constitutions. And the success which has hitherto attended our co lonial administration in its attempts to frame consti tutions for the colonies has not been so great as to al leviate the apprehensions which these misgivings inspire on the present occasion. It would be awk ward enough if. in the ease of the Caps of Good Hope for the repeal as in the case of New Zealand, an order of the new constitution had to be sent off before intel ligence was received that the constitution had reached the colony.

The South African Advertiser is in raptures with this reply, and maintains that it is perfectly satisfactory. Thos Cane Town Mail is lean confident. That journal says: " If Sir Harry's report shall prove to have been already sent home, be has committed en act tending geriomely to shake the public cor.fidence ; for, harlot hitherto avoided directly answering all inquiries in regard to this matter, the people might be led to suspect that his wish was to keepthem uninformed as to his movements until the constitution pre pared by him shall have been approved ; and then, when ole jection is too late, to introduce a form of government which may net be in accordance with their ideas of liberty or sf usefulness When it was intended, some years sine, tole troduce a comber of changes in another and fez ones laps* ant matter—the judicial establishment—public evidence wan taken upon the subject by 'committee of the council. There suit of these proposed changes is well known. The enema ar a majority of his advisers arrived at one conclusion-Igs minority of the council arrived at another. The opinions of the minority were in accordance with those of the greater number of the wirnemee who were examined—the majority had only one or two of the gentlemen whose advice was the publicly asked on their side. By the home government a decilio I was made in accordance with the sentiments of the minority of the council and the majority of the pnblis ; thus setting a fair example to the Cape executive of the value to be attached to public opinion. Therefore, if a report on the son important subject under consideration has been sent home, or is about to be sent home, without reference te public opinion within the colony, we must condemn the pre sent government for proceeding in a tar leas streightfonrod and satisfactory manner than its predeceases If it has mot yet been sent home it Is hoped that Sir Harry will see the absolute necessity of not doing otherwise than making every bearing of his plan matter of public discussion at the Cape before he offers it either to the consideration or for the sp. proved of the government at home." Accounts from Blom Fontein to the let of October state that the consiniseioner for that district held a court on the 27th September, at which 49 Boers were tried on a charge of having been concerned in the recent outbreak. Of these 37 were proved either to have been present or to hays aided in some way or other those who were. They were amerced accordingly in penalties varying from thirty pounds to thirty shillings, every fine being paid. The total sum thus levied in this district, on this occasion, amounts to nearly 3001.

IT is not easy to discern or to foresee what exactly is, or what is likely to be, the policy of those great and several potentates who, in three great empires, have so soddenly gained or recovered the supreme command. All we can do is to note down the symp toms u they appear,, without being in too great a hurry to draw conclusions from them. We have first of all an Emperor in Austria restored to despotic power, and apparently resolved to turn to the interests and increase of that power the revolu tions which have recently taken place. The old Aus- ' trian r.igime, of Merreerlica's time, favoured much the federal principle, flattered local prejudices, if it did not allow of local liberties, and kept up even the appearance of so perste courts in the different pro vinces. There was a prince at Prague, a palatine in Hungary, a viceroy at Milan. The young Emperor's mioisten now openly aver that such is no longer their principle of government, that they aim at unity et least of the Austrian empire, and FRANCIS Josern seems imelined to imitate Nneoheots in his policy of making use of that terrible fusion of provinces and ju riadicuone, effected by the revolution, to blend the empire into one uniform mass of military organisa tion.
