paramount claims, to be hailed and raised upon t e e popular shield , as heroe s or as liberals. The Milanese do not forget their Cisalpine republic; the King of Par SSIA finds little favour with his Fatherland. The Germans in general are indignant at the ,ovulation, the arrogance, and the naked ambition of his proclamations. The soldiers are annoyed at his committing them to mortal com b a t with the population, whilst keeping them en the defensive , and permitting the citizens to triumph. His " beloved Berliners have converted their loyalty into irony, end support the . throne just as the Parisians did LOUIS PHILITPE during so many years, for the sake of order, yet in distrust of his policy and dislike of his person. We repeat it—the cause of monarchy is perishing in Europe for want of any wo rthy repreuntative, for the want of any one once, capable of attracting the admiration, or commanding the devotion, cf the people. It is not with joy, but, on the contrary, with fear, that we perceive the likelihood of every sovereign power and royal family being swept from the wide empire of Germany and . Italy. France m ight, perhaps , make the g reat American experiment with success ; but we doubt the possibility of nations just liberated from despotism, and so devoid of expe rience, of tradition, and of institutions, doing this. War, however, is the great political operation, from which authority springs, and war seems of MOSt difficult avoidance. Unfortunately, war gives birth to authority of a kind, that but ill amalgamates with freedom. And as DANIEL WEBSTER foresaw the conqueror of Canada contest ing with the conqueror of 'Altaic() for the crown of the United States, so we might expect to see German heroes and marshals contending, as in the thirteenth century, for the imperial crown. There exists, however, a very great sedative in the prospects of Europe, viz., the total absence of pecuniary resource& The CZAR of Russia has fortunately been investing his golden roubles is the fLnds of France, and in the metallics, alas! so little metallic, of Austria. And every other government, more or less de funct, has bequeathed a deficit, and nothing more, to the perplexed finances of the liberal or re publican party. Thus war if it bike place, must be defensive war. The Aulic council has neither an England nor a Itoviisenitio to have recourse to ; sub sidies and loans are alike inconceivable. And the equipping of cavalry, or the completing and furnishing of parks of artillery, are acts of military administra tion quite beyond the reach of actual rulers. When the l'imes, therefore, goes back to the olden days, and threatens us with a renewal of the old Italian campaigns—when it talks of the line of the Adda, the sapient malicauvres of Austrian marshals, and the impregnability of Mantua—our worthy con temporary is only halt a century out of his reckoning. The question is not now how many battalions a general may have, or what may be his stores and his We of operations. The more important matter is to know how are the population affected around and behind him. The Times is in fact not only half a century behind in its s trategy, but several days behind in its intelli gence. Thus it talks in a sapient leading article of the probability of the Austrian troops taking up the line of the Adds, with divisions receding on Lodi and Pizzighettone, whilst the haeeof their army would rest on .laritua and Cremona. Now if the /Yews had taken the trouble of marling its eyes yesterday from its own columns, so utterly barren of news from Italy, to the Daily .V 'i rs, which was full of interesting particulars, the Times would have seen that the " insurrection was successful at both Lodi and Cremona ; and that the fortress of Pizzighettone, with seventeen guns, bad been captured by the Milanese." So much for the "line of the Adda," and "the bridges of Lodi and Piacenza," laid such stress upon by the Times! The military writer in that paper ought to have known, as we-did, that even by the accounts in the common journals, the Austrians had abandoned the line of the Adds and of the Oglio, that the insurrection had passed these rivers; that Brescia and Desenzano were to the power of the Milanese, and that the Mincio, defended by Mantua and Peschiera were then the apparent lines of defence. This is according to posi tive inteliigence. But rumour went much further ; and the capture of Mantua by the people, as well as the rising of Verona, Padua, and Venice, were circulated and believed in Milan. The Times therefore may draw its 'sponge or its pen over its strategic article of youtertlay morning, which is some 48 hones behind the course of events, just, indeed as is its tardy announcemeut of the ratification of peace between the United States and Mexico by the Senate of Washington, or its solemn article the other day on the King of PausstA's royal patent, at the very time when news had arrived of the said royal patent having been torn and set aside, and the crown humbled in the barricades. Loan Jots Russet'. deserves credit for the high spirit 'With which he, last night, throwing party con siderations to the wind, acquiesced in the proposal that a committee should be appointed to inquire fur ther into the alleged bribery at Horsham, before the new writ for that borough was opened. The respect for purity of election thus evinced by Lord JOIIN, if courageously acted upon, opens to Lim a noble field of exertion. A minister who values purity of election, is earnest for the improvement of national education, and wishes to give retrenchment a fair chance, might do much towards the attainment of all these three objects by giving up the system of treasury jobbing in small berths, and making them the rewards of successful examinations. This would promote economy by taking away the strong party motive for keeping up large establishments of clerkships, tide-waiterships, and all the rest of the small fry of places, by a judi cious distribution of which a government makes itself strong in the constituencies. We give Lord Jolts RI,ELL credit for sincerity in his often-expressed de sire to abate electoral corruption—repeated with such unequivocal proof of its sincerity last night, in reference to the Horsham case • and he de rives so much of his reputation from legislation' on this subject, that even selfish motives would prompt him to be particularly careful against any thing that could derogate from his consistency, or cast a doubt upon his sincerity as the friend of purity of election. Is there then any essential difference be tween the purchase of a vote by money, and the purchase of it by a place given to the voter or his relative? Is not Lord Joule RUSSELL now ad ministering a system place-distribution through members of parliament, in the way of reward for past, and inducement to future, support at elections? Is there not an officer of the government maintained at a large salary, and assisted by various clerks and secretaries liberally salaried also, for the express purpose of carrying on a system of government which consists in the gratification of parliamentary supporters by the distribution of places among voters? Of two secretaries of the Treasury, each paid 2,300(. a year, one is spe cially appointed to be the Prime Minister's organ toe the management of the party—the conduit-pipe for applications for places. Lord Jolts Russetl is only doing what all his predecessors have done: but will Lord Jolts Russell. now lead public opinion— now strike out of the beaten paths of parliamentary trecosserie and party conventionalism? Sir ROBERT PEEL signalised his administration by various appoint ments to higher office, on the ground of merit, in dis regard of partisanship ; among other instances, he re teguise d the pre-cmitient claims of Mr. Justice ERLF, a Whig, which the whigs had overlooked, to judicial honours. The whigs have so far imitated Sir RO:tERT, and in their recent appointments of Masters in Chntecry appear to have acted on the principle of selecting the best man. Will Lord Join RUSSELL be ala ays content merely to follow Sir ROBERT PEEL ? Is it to be left to Sir Roust is next administration to cleanse the inferior regions of parliamentary jobbing, end to extinguish the degrading system of which an exemplification has recently come before the public, in the statement made on high authority in the HOUR' Of COMMOts of the number of places given by the go vernment to the voters at Harwich? Parliamentary reformers of the last century thought that they had disarmed corruption when they took Sway the v otes of revenue officers. The ministry that earned that measure of disfranchisement were sincere in their desire to petrify the constituencies. ' S eecan read Lord RocelNGHast's speech in de fence of the measure, in which he recounts seventy boroughs where the election depended chiefly on re venue officers, and 'spoke with horror of no less than 11,50.) voters in the country holding offices in the customs and excise, and appealed to 9 2 e lords w h om h e addressed as to whether it would not be folly to expect and cruelty to oblige ,these 11 .604) men to vote against those who gave them 1 '"etr places, without being convinced of the sincerity L a 1. sr from " as the 1 CHAR ad with THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 1, 1848. increase of the Pi of the amiable speaker. Strange that he should have overlooked the mischief that might still be done with the five times 11,500 relations of the 11,500 whom he disfranchised. And Lord JOHN RUSSELL might now, with very little alteration of Lord ROCKINGHAM'S lan guage of 1782, draw an appalling picture of the cor ruption which, under his own superintendence, is going on in the constituencies, by distribution of places in the customs, excise, and various other departments, among the relations of electors. It would be worth while for some member of par liament who approves of the views here expressed, to move for a return of the places in the gift of the Treasury, Post-office, and other public offices. The public at present have no means of knowing the full extent of the patronage at the command of the government, and used by them for the corruption of voters. The House of Commons is about to be called upon to direct the ATTORN EY-G EN ERA L to prosecute Mr. Arrwooti for his endeavours to ci este an influ ence in various boroughs ; and we trust that members will be found ready to protest against this attempt to persecute an individual for what, in a slightly differ- it without con- desCendir;gl;ii.quireWfiether the public service re quired it ; and by his disparagement of the clerks, who only work office hours while his lordship's personal retainers were sometimes kept working till two o'clock in the morning. Take the number of hours throughout the year worked by either party : who doubts that the balance would preponderate on the aide of the humble clerks? Extra hours for a brush are much leas trying than the unceasing pertinacious day-after-day labour of the humble employe ; and the former is under taken with a view to jump into some snug sinecure, of which the humble drudges who perform the :atter have no chance. Lord ELLENBonouGn is one of a that these his royal premiess may, without inordinate huts, but quickly, be carded wat and faithfully obeerved. Together with the important task of realising those principles, his Majesty will leave it tattle Stotts to proper?, whatever the usual course of business requires for the maintenance of the security, order, and welfare of the country ; and he will willingly attend to all the wishes which may be expressed by the States respeting the common weal, as the shortness of the ' time and the pressure of circumstance' (der drang der VW ennak) render it invertible for this government to prepare independent propositions of that nature. Thus has his Ma jesty, our most gracious King and lord, opened for the States a pathway IQ glorious and beneficial labours • and it is for you now, gentlemen, to tread that path, and keep firmly to it. Through this noble and royal mission the States hare in their own hands the entire future prospects of the country. That mission implies a responsibility if it be uselessly em ployed. Thanks to his Majesty's wisdom we can look on the present important time without that pain which in so many other lands embitters both joy and hope. The coun try polaessea unexhausted sources of power and happiness ; its people are rich is upright earnestness of character, in the lo.e of fatherland, and in fidelity. Nought can be wanting to us, if only the spirit of union, which again, fur the first time since centuries, powerfully pervades all the members of our great German fatherland, prevail also in the narrow circle of our awn country. It is upon this spirit of union that his Majesty relies. It is in this spirit of union, which stops at no sacrifice, even of ono's own views and opinions; that his Majesty has already presented a brilliant example to his states. May the latter follow such eminent leadership (w erhabener Fuhruno). God save the King ! In the name and with the full ruthorisation of his Majesty I now declare the General Assembly of the States opened. On the conclusion, the royal commissioner retired, escorted to the door by the Earl Marshal and the Secretary-General. The members of the two chain ' bets then proceeded to the election of their president. Tribunes were reserved for the public (another happy innovation), who appeared in considerable numbers. The King's speech has given no slight satisfaction, although it is feared that the non•announcement of some special laws for the relief of the peasantry from their onerous burdens will net tend to remove the discontent of that numerous class. The city is all but perfectly tranquil. The civic guards still patrol it night and day. According to the Ifildesheim Gazette numerous rioters and several incendiaries were arrested on the ' evening of the 24th.

Such is a proposition which has been made more than once by Mr. EWART, with that degree of success which generally attends any independent member who opposes himself to the com bined interest of the party that is, and the party that hopes to be, in power. Mr. EWART has now a fa vourable time for again pressing his proposition on the minister. The present opportunity, well used, may obtain from Lord JOHN Rt SSET.I. a self-deny ing ordinance as to patronage, which, he may be assured, will add greatly to his popularity, and which, if it comes not from him, will be among the first biddinga for popular favour of the astute political rival who has so long thriven on the timidity of Whig statesmen. The distribution of the small patronage of the government might be rendered serviceable to education, either by making the various places direct rewards of proficiency in schools in all parts of the country, or by enacting a system of examination for places, which would be a premium on schools. class — Of occasional preachers of retrenchment who would economise at the expense of the humble and laborious, to spare money for the proteges of the poli tically influential. Of this class of reformers the country is heartily sick. Lord ELLESBOROUGH may damage his rivals, but he cannot recommend himself by such tactics. Besides, his alarm on the score of increasing expenditure is too palpably an imitation of the run away knock of idle boys. Who so blind as not to see that LordtirsNLEY's recommendation to Lord ELLEN- BOROUGH to withdraw his motion for the present was preconcerted? They had galled their political rivals —thrown some dirt upon them; to have gone fur ther might have compelled themselves to set to work in earnest to accomplish a reform. This party skir mishing is out of date ; the country hos had too much of it. DENMARK. We gave yesterday by electric telegraph intelli gence received from Hamburg under the date of the 27th. The arrival of the journals themselves enables us to give further particulars. We precede these, however, by letters from our own correspondent at Copenhagen, from which the feelings of the Danes may be collected : COPENHAGEN, Dimwit 21. The five deputies who arrived hero with the steamer SliOnCr yesterday morning were rather dis agreeably surprised, on landing, to learn the change of ministry. Without waiting for an audience, which they had actually demanded, they were desirous of returning 1 that same evening. But the people prevented this by taking the steamer into their keeping, and sending word to the King of what was going on. And the King confirmed this very measure of theirs by ordering that no vessel of any kind should be permitted to leave the roadstead for four and twenty hours. Thus it happened that there went no foreign post but night. The deputies were lodged in the residence of M. Consul Hoge, as it was judged they might feel their personal safety more secure in u private house than in their hotel. To-day they have been summoned to the presence of the ministers. The result has been told. The royal steam.ship3 Itcda, SlsCrner, Geiser, and tEsir, along with two frigate; which are to be towed by the steamers, will to-night, if possible, transport troops and ammunition to the scene of action. The greater part of the forces are destined for Fredericstadt, the most important point in Sirs wig. The answer that the deputies hear to those who sent them is contained in the following placard, which has this day been printed and distributed by thousands throughout the city : The King's Greeting to the Inhabitants of Copenhagen : "Two days are gone since ye thanked us with joyful cheers, because we had nnticipated your wishes. " Now do we thank you for the peace and order ye have in these days maintained. " The Sleswig.Holstein deputies we have answered, that we have neither the power nor the will to let Sleswig join in the Gerarui Confederation, tor to he separated from our beloved fatherland; but, on the contrary, that Denmark and Sleswig shall be united under a free constitution, with as much provincial independence as possible for Sleswig ; and that Holstein, 9n the contrary, as a German confederate state, shall have its own free constitution. "We have thus made what concessions we can. Is cur offer not accepted ? We with our whole Danish people will maintain Denmark's worth. " The safety of the Sleswig.Holstein deputies we entrust to the honour of our Danish people. Fitennatex, R. " A. W. MOLTKE, President of the Council. 71111:37 - Prussia does so, but no longer, and that his Majesty's claims on the confidence of the German nation are in admissible. The article contains many salutary truths among a great deal of exaggeration and bitterness, and concludes by conjuring the King to refrain from sowing the seed of dissension among the nations of furnished with a full statement of the accounts, in order that their exact positi,:o might be ascertained. The CHAIRMAN made ii:.sme explanation upon the point complained of. He maintained that the directors bad been very far from improvident ; they had urged every sort of retrenchment, even beyond what they were justified in doing. With regard to the agreement to take the produce of the tenants, it expired in March 1849, and the directors certiinly would not renew it. Mr. SAVAGE said that the last stock taken by the company amounted to 12,0001., on which he concluded that the com pany lost 7,0001 lie presumed they would be relieved from that loss when their agreement to take the produce of their tenants was at an end ; but he supposed there would still be ' a loss of 6,0001. a year beyond. The CM/ARYAN said the amount would be only 4,000/. and he believed that when the agreement came to an end there would be no occasion for any further calls upon the shareholders ; indeed he could almost promise them that such would be the case. Mr. BLACCET asked what was the amount of rental present and in prospect ? The CHAIRMAN said that the forest lard was let with a condition that there should be no rent paid for two or three years ; and after that time the rents would not amount to mire than 3.501. a year. With regard to improvements (the subject of another question), he said that a consider able amount had been laid nut by the tenants far that object, but nothing by the company. A PROPRIETOR suggested the division of the land among the proprietors in proportion to the number of shares held by each, and the subsequent sale of the laud in loci. The CHAIRMAN did not consider the measure advisable it had been suggested from different quarters a hundred times. After some further conversation, the proposition of Mr. Smith not being seconded, the chairman put the motion for the adoption of the report, which was adopted without dissent. The retiring directors and auditors were then re-elected, and a resolution passed empowering the directors (in accord ance with the provisions of the company's act) to r. duce their number from sixteen to eleven, as vacancies mitht from time to time occur. Thanks were then passed to the chairman and directors, and tee meeting separated. Germany-. The following letter from a correspondent, dated Peeth, 22nd March, gives an account of the state of feeling there : The national guard is rapidly organising itself—every mss in Hungary capable of bearing arms is enrolled or enrolling himself in ono or other of the different corps. The re gular military remain in their barracks with guns sad ar tillery loaded, in sullen inactivity. It is to be hoped no occasion will offer for their interference. Pestle is a strange sight at present, parties of armed cititisens parad ing the streets day and night. Trade is almost, if not COOl pletely, at a stand still. Rumours arrive daily from the country of exoesses committed, but nothing certain. If everything passes off as it has done as yet, it will be the quietest revolution, perhaps, that ever occurred.—The Diet is to be immediately brought to Penh, and, from the Ist of November next, every Hungarian subject will be taxed alike. The Hungarians have now, therefore, a free con stitution, responsible ministers, free press, universal suffrage, or something very nearly approaching it; in sr art, free dom and equality in the widest sense of the word. Whether the mass of the people are fit for such a form of govern ment remains to be seen. RUSSIA.—ST.

The Princess deJoinville and the Duchess d'Aumale paid her Majesty a private visit yesterday. The Duchess of Kent visaed the Queen yesterday evening at Buckingham Palace. The Duchess of Cambridge and suite visited the exhibition of the Incorporated Sccisty of British Artists, in Suffolk-street, yesterday, previously to the private view. The Duke of Cambridge. and Prince Frederick of Hesse, visited the Duchess of Gloucester yesterday, at Glou cester-house. THE ELECTION or THE BISHOP OF CHESTER took place yesterday, in the cathedral of the diocese. The usual forms were gone through, and Dr. Graham declared to be unanimously elected. The newly-elected bishop is a native of the city of Durham, and is isi his Nth year. His father and mother were persons in humble life, but of great re spectability. John, their only child, was a King's scholar in Durham Grammar School, under Dr. Button. In Oct., 1812, Mr. Graham took up his residence in Christ's College, Cambridge, where he graduated as fourth wrangler in 1810. In the same year he obtained a chancellor's airdal. Ile was fourth wrangler in adiseinguished year ( the first three wranglers were Jacob, Whewell, and Higmen), and being placed equal with Mr. Lawson, of Magdalen College, for the chanevilor's medal, thus exhibiting great attainments in mathematical and classical studies. He was now associated in the tuition of his college • and when, in the year 1830, the mastership bec^me vacant, by the resignation of the Rev. Dr. Kai e, now Bishop of Lincoln, Dr. Graham was unanimously elected to that Important office In 1831, and again in IS4O, he servel the office of vice-chancellor of the university. He is married to a daughter of the late Dr. Porten', Bishop of Landon. In November, IMO, when 1/r. Short was translated from the see of Sodor and Man to St. Asaph, Dr. Graham was re commended by the government as Dr. Short's suerewr to the former see, but the appointment was declined by Dr. Graham, when the late lamented Archdeaoon Shirley was promoted to the bishopric. Dr. Graham has published no works of importance. When it was the aim of Loyd; Mel bourne's minhery to open the universities to dissenters Dr. Graham strongly supported the measure, a circumstance which is said to have a rased some coldness towards him in the university, and to have shut him out from the chair of the most prominent divinity professorship.. Dr. Graham, it is said, will be consecrated by his Grace the Archbishop of York (in whose province the diocese of Chester is situate), OD Sunday, May 7, being the second Sunday after E=nter. THE COMBINED AND THE DAILT I read in the Herald the following passage " One of the cheap publications, remarksble for the dissemi nation of telegraphic rumours without foundation, &c., &n" Had it said one of the high-priced conclati , it would have been so much nearer the truth that I should have been silent; but, on the principle of Fiat Justitia and Audi alteram pnrtem, I beg to point out that some few days since the Herald published an express from Paris with the news of a republic, and the arrest of the King of Prussia, in Berlin.

REFORM OF THE LORDS.—Sir,—I take leave, as ose who has witnessed with much interest the struggle the Daily News has made to earn itself a name as the highest source of information at the least possible price, to' thank you for the steady and continuous progress it is making in liberal opinions, not the vacillating, uncertain policy of the turning whig or the cunning Peelite, but with an honesty of purpose directed to the welfare of the productive classes—to peace, retrenchment, and reform—to principles which are of universal application, and by the zealous advocacy of which you may look with confidence to public sympathy and support. The article on the constitution of the House of Lords in your paper of Thursday will be read by every liberal-minded man with the utmost gals faction.

FIRE IN SOUTHWARK.— Last night, between 11 and 12 o'clock, a fire broke out in the extensive premises be longing to Mr. Collinson, batter, of 48, Castle-street, South wark-bridge-road. The flames originated, from some one: plainest cause, iii the mid.'t of a large budding termed the body shops. This compartment contained an immense num ber of hats and other inflammable articles which made the flames travel with more than usual rapidity. Several en gines soon arrived, but by the time they could be called into operation, the destructive element had extended from the bedy shops to the finishing compartments, all of which were filled with goods. Before 12 o'clock the whole of the pre mises were wrapped in one complete sheet of fire which as cended so high into the air as te illuminate the greater por tion of the Surrey side of the Thames. The fire wa, nearly extinguished by halt-past 12 o'clock, not, however, until the pile of buildings in which it originated were completely gutted, and the whole of the valuable contents reduced to ashes.

The twenty-third annual meeting of proprietor wee held yesterday at the offices, G, Great Winchesterstrcet, City. Mr. J. Colley presided. The directors, in their report, announced that an act of parliament was passed in the last session to empower her Majesty to convey their lands to the company free of all quit' rents and restrictions, as specified in their charter. The Commissioners of Colonial Land and Emigration, on the part of the crown, and the solicitors, Messrs. Bishop, on the part of the company, had agreed to the terms of the title deeds, and every facility had been given to carry them into effect. In the last annual report the directors had adverted to their engagement to take the farm produce of the tenants at fixed prices. They had done so in the hope that the prices would have considerably advanced, but then hopes had been but oartially realised. Many causes had' conduced to keep them down, lot they might ascribe the circumstance principally to the demand for labour in New South Wales and the temptations of the mines of Australia —by which means a large portion of the free working people. among whom were some of the company's tenants at Emu Bay, had been attracted thither. The value of farm ng produce had been further reduced by the employment of convicts in agricultural pursuits upon got eroment account, thus bringing them into competition with private indi. viduale. The system had recently been abandoned by the government, and prices at the date of Mr. Gibe-a'. last advice. had in consequence advanced considerably. The directors ' however, would not be too sanguine as regarded the future. They assured the proprietors that every measure of economy would be practised, and means would be taken to effect with the tenants a commutation of fixed prices. Mr. Gibson's drafts for 1847 amounted to 7,5311., to meet which a call of 11 per share was indispensably necessary, for the payment of which every encouragement had been given by the shareholders. The demand for the company's live stock had increased, the sales for 1846 haling produced 1,7121. The clip of wool produced 1,0031. 14s. 10d. The town of Stanley was improving.

In Sept. 1841, the numbs .r of tenants on the estate was only 14, and at 'he same period .41847 it had increased to 652. The amount of land cultivated in 1841 was 15 acres, which in 1847 had increased to 18,59. The value of the proitice PROVINCIAL. delivered to the company's stewards in 1847 was 12,558/. ESsP.K.
