LONDON, SATURDAY, NOV. 18. Tna theory of the Colonial Office is, that colonists have not sense enough to manage their own local af fairs ; that in all matters of government the sages of Downing-street must act in their behalf as the Court of Chancery acts in behalf of minors and unities. This theory was avowedly acted upon in all our colonies from the time of the American revolution until very recently ; it isstill acted upon inthe luckless crown colo nies, and sought to be acted upon indirectly in the rest. Family cliques and irresponsible legislative and execu tive councils nominated by the home government were the instruments employed to thwart and counteract the local elective legislatures in such co lonies as possessed them. This trick has been found out, and Downing-street has devised a new plan for administering the colonies according to its views and weles, while it seeks to monde them that they are left free to regulate their own local affairs. Earl GREY explained the nature of this new " dainty device" to the select committee on miscella neous expenditure of last session. He laid down the law that each colony ought to bear the whole of its own civil expenditure with the exception of the governor's salary. The salaries of the colonial governors, his lordship opined, ought to be paid by this country. His reasons for this opinion were, in the first place : In my opinion it is very unfortunate that it is not the Practice that in all eases the salaries of the eciverwors should be paid by this country ; there is no other part of the civil establiehments which I think ought to be so paid, but I think it would be extremely desirable, for polities! reason'', if an arrangement could be made by which the colonies 'meld take certain other expenses upon themselves, and the salaries of the itneentors he always pod by this country. In the second place, his lordship is of opinion that " Many of the governors are underpaid, and, in eon esquetee, proper persons to fill the office cannot be had." He maintains that it is necessary that the salaries of governors should bear some considerable proportion to what men of eminence in other careers obtain is this country. And he adds that the colonies will not pay on this scale, because " If salaries suffi cient to secure such services are given to the go vernors, and are paid in the colonies, they are cam pared with the incomes of persona there, and as the general income which people enjoy in the colonies is notoriously less than in this country, inadequate salaries are given to the governors." Lastly, he says : It is extremely difficult to provide persons Gat are com petent to govern the colonies from this deficieney in the salaries; and that difficulty particularly applies to colonise having representative assemblies, because in dealing with representative assemblies I cannot too strongly express my opinion of the great advantage to the governor of having had a little experience in political life here, and knowing something of the House of Commons and the way in which politicalethat a m tis t i o te u ea r g rri ov e e d rn o or n s in h t s hie ve. coun c are ountry; but the men who an of any considerable standing in political lice, and are looking forward to obtaining distinction in politics at home, will not accept colonial appointments. Earl GREY sees clearly that henceforth our colonies must be governed by means of elective legislatures. And to prevent this change shaking the supremacy of Downing-street he wishes to send to every colony a governor trained in the party tactics of the House of Commons, and skilled in the art of baffling the popular wish for retrenchment and reform without appearing to set himself against it. Under this new system colonial governors will serve their apprenticeship as " whippers-in" to one or other of oar great parlia mentary factions, and will prooeed to their respective governments fully qualified to play off local parties spinet each other to the legislature, and make them obstruct business for the advantage Cl Downing street. And in order that the Tapers and Tad poles of this country may have sufficient in ducements to desert their club., for a season, salaries are to be awarded them on a scale so large that the colonies cannot be expected to pay them, and there fore " John Bull," that universal paymaster, must be made to provid' the funds. The colonxts are not so dull of apprehension as to be unable to detect this juggle : the ex-whippers-in will find them as refrac tory as the quarter-deck governors hare found them in times past. The dap are gone for ever when colonists submitted to be governed by orders in council, issued by men utterly ignorant of their local affairs. Henceforth the whole heal administration of our colonies must be left to the colonists, and ea a necessary consequence the whole local expenses mast devolve upon them. On another occasion we will undertake to show that the colonists are best able to manage their own affairs, and quite competent to defray all the really necessary expenditure. At present we wish to draw the attention of the home public to the expense which this freak of governing all our colonies from Downing street costs them. The total amount it is impossible to ascertain. Probably the Colonial-office does not know the whole of it; and what it does know it takes good care to conceal by mystifying its accounts. But an approximate estimate may be made. In the miscellaneous estimates for 1849, the expense of the Colonial-office for that year is set down as 27,4611. But this is only • part of the cost of the home department. A portion of the audit-office staff is constantly engaged upon colonial business. The law officers of the crown are continually receiving large fees on colonial accounts, for most of which no services are rendered. Part of the home colonial ad ministration is carried on by tLe Beard of Trade sod consequently colonial affairs ought to be debited with a part of the expense of that establishment. It is impossible to trace all the ramifications of colonial expenditure throughout the various departments of our home administration, but enough has been said to show that the annual cost of the Downing-street por tion of our colonial government is greatly underrated. In the miscellaneous estimates, the "colonial, con sular, and other foreign services," are classed together. From the 426,367!. (which is the total of this hodge podge), we mast deduct the consular and diplomatic expenditure, amounting to 143,190!.; the charges for St. Helenaaod Heligoland,l2 6231.4 and the expendi ture for suppression of the slave trade, 53,000/. With these deductions there remains 217,6.541. contributed by this country towards the expenses of local civil government alone in the colonise. It mast not be overlooked that great punt of this outlay is incurred for about twenty colonies, of which some are utterly worthless, and the rest the least useful and valuable of our possessions. Labuan, where there is as yet no colony, coots 9,827!. for its government staff. Port Essington, where there is nobody brit officials and a few soldier., and which is barren, and entirely out of the way of trade, oases 9,7251. The Falkland Islands, where the has nothing but a heed of wild cattle rir:fter, cost 6,0401. Sierra Leone, "ths white ma's grave," oasts 4,9001. Settlements like these , nee sere apologies fur settling annuities epee disk civil officers. Again, part of the expen diture is for institutions which ought to be defrayed by the colonists themselves. there is 41,1501. for stipendiary justices in the West Indies. These colonies, if left to themselves, are quite competent to support their own judges ; and in point of fact the " stipendiary justices are mere spins of Downing-street on the colonists, and have not always been selected with very rigid attention to in tellectual aptitude or moral character. For the clergy of North America" there is a chirp of 11,6784 ; a large proportion of the best lands in arse colonies having been allotted for the support of the church, greatly to the obstruction of settlement. But the 27,4611. which Downing , street annually costs us, and the aduitional 217,634/. annually en. I pended for local purposes, form but • small part of what the nation has to pay in order that the freak of regulating every movement of the colonies in Downing street may be carried into effect. The troopsstationed in the colonies, and the ships of war stationed of them are meant leas to defend these provinces than to keep their inhabitants in subjection. The troops in Canada are less wanted in the eyes of government to keep out the Americans than to keep under the Canadians. The ships of war in the West Indies are relied upon in the event of the Combined Court of British Guiana or the Assembly of Jamaica running restive. In all ordinary times the militias of the colonies are quite adequate to their defence. Indeed, one great use of colonies in remote parts of the globe, such as Australia and the Pacific, is to supersede the necessity of ships . of war, by affording asylums for our commercial marine or shipwrecked emirs. Yet we maintain upwards of 36,000 rank and file of soldiers in our colonies (exclusive of India), or rather more than one-fourth of our whole army. And the pro portions of our naval and ordnance expenditure, for which the defence of the colonies is made a pretext, are at least equal. The-e statements will enable our readers to form something like an estimate of the permanent regular expenditure entailed upon this country by the absurd notion of centralising all colonial administration in Downing-street. But the incidental charges to which the blunders necessarily resulting from the attempt to administer the affairs of communities many thousand miles distant, by men utterly ignorant of local relit. thee, are scarcely lees onerous. The rebellion in Quads which, some ten years ago, cost usupwards of a million, was provoked solely by this plan of absentee government. The millionand a half whichtholast Kaffir war coat us, together with all the expenses of ail the Kaffir wars which preceded it, and of all the coercion' of the 1/utch farmers, might have been saved, had we allowed the colonists to regulate their own internal affair", and provide for their own defence. Bat for the bungling interference of the home government, New Zealand might have been settled and governed without one penny of expense to this country, whines it has been costing us 37,000 per annum. Thus have we attempted to indicate, as well as can be done in the absence of honest and intelligible accounts, how much JOHN BULL pays year by year, in order that the Colonial-office may govern the 'colonies, instead of leaving them to govern themselves. And what does JOHN get in re turn for all this money ? Colonies arc of ms to a country in two ways : as markets for its produce, and as profitable fields of Investment for its surplus population and capital. The colonies which have entirely separated from us— the United States—are as good, if not better, customers than any that remain annexed to the em pire. And that the colonies may . prove an eligible resort for our emigrants, not only is it not necessary that we should interfere in their local government, but, as we will show in a few days, that interference materially diminishes their usefulness in this respect. All, then, that JOHN Butt gets in return for the money he expends in order that the colonies may be governed in this country is the vain glory of being thought to govern them. The trading politicians of the aristocracy and its led captains may earn some thing more substantial by it, but JOHN has nothing but the illusory name of an unprofitable and irritating superiority to show fur his money. When we take into account what he lays out for this shadow, we may well say, in the words of a colonist of no mean note, " he is paying too mach for his whistle." THE trickery of the guinea trade Asylums is in no point more conspicuous than in their elections. From the moment you nominate a candidate until the hour when you find that you have spent your time and money to no purpose, you are involved in a vortex of scheming, jobbing, and intrigue. How anxious they are to get your candidate upon their lists! One would think that with what they call their " limited mows," and their "very limited accommodation," they would not be desirous to have more candidates than they could help. But, on the contrary, they even go the extent of advertising for them. "All new candidates should be immediately nominated and registered." So runs the advertisement. " Nomi nate, nominate, nominate—register, register, regis ter." Every possible facility is afforded you. "Forms of nomination and every information may be obtained from the secretary." The bland secretary who issues your nomination paper (and receives your guinea, but never mind that) offers to assist you in duly filling it in. His attention is really quite remarkable (he is quietly pumping out all the particulars; but never mind that either). When ho folds up the paper for you, and puts it in an envelope, he assures you most confidently of success. "He n heard of a more interesting case : really it has quite affected him : would you be a steward at the next anniversary dinner? or would "SiSTIMOTIIT SOMEBODY," whom you mentioned,per mit his name to be put down as an honorary vice? He feels quite confident that every governor of the charity— a most "peculiar" charity, he can assure you—will feel a warm interest in so touching an appeal. All you have to do is to make the case known. He would promise you a vote himself, but unfortunately, &c. Do you happen to know any clergyman who would lend his pulpit or preach for the asylum?" In a long list of plena:able and benevolent recol lections, we recur to no reminiscence more delightful than when first we nominated a candidate for admis sion to an orphan school. How deeply that bland secretary impressed us with the peculiar excellence of his " peculiar" institution ! How fully did he make us believe that we had at last found " fathers for the fatherless, and friends for the destitute and forsaken ones." He sold us a " List of the Governors" for a shilling, and no book we ever bought (not even our first SHAKBPEARE) ever seemed half so cheap. Bene volence beamed from its every page. Each name seemed to carry to our hearts the warmth and gladness of a Christmas fire. The list of "patrons and presidents" was better reading than the bill of any pantomime in the most palmy days of our juvenile theatrical epochs. " A shilling "—why, the picture of the asylum on the frontispiece was worth the money ten times over ! " All you have to do is to make the case known." You rush home to the disconsolate widow for whose poor child you are exerting yourself; and carry to her those words of comfort, giving them all the emphasis of the bland secretary's enunciation. You proceed to " make it known." You print cards, and begin to post them to the "governors," writing all the direc tions yourself for fear of mistake. Before you have done much, it occurs to you that the task you have set yourself is no very easy one. The cost of it also strikes you as considerable. You make a calculation, and find that there are 4,000 Raines subscribers, and that you will have to expend nearly 30/. in address ing them : 4,000 can* et 4*. per hundred 4,000 envelope*, at 12s. per thousand 4,000 postage stamps at Id. E 27 1 4 This le the cheapest at which you can manage it. The idea elarms you. The poor struggling . widow could never find the money : and where then is it to come from except out of your own pocket? What can you save ? The cards and envelopes you must have. Can you save the postage ? In the report you find in deep black letters the following : CArriox.—Persons canvassing far children are cautionkd not to injure their cause by throwing the expense of postage on the subscribers. It strikes you that you way save something by delivering some of the letters yourself. You take half a dozen of them down to Vanity Fair" ac cordingly.

The receipts into this place since Monday last are comparatively light, both coastwise and from Ireland, except those of Oatmeal, which are again large, whilst the supplies from abroad are yet only moderate ; the wind, however, having at length become favourable fur arrivals, many [wised bound vessels, lat terly detained onside the poet, will probably increase our next import list considerably. Under this impression, the earn trade, in all its ramifications at our market to-day presented a very dull, lingering aspect, and although bolder. did net gent rally appear disposed to press sales at any mate rial decline, yet, in most cases where offers were made at sorbing near our lot quotations, a slight abatement was conceded.

You knock double and summon two footmen to the door. The scowl of the one to whom you give your missive, and the gibes of the other who sees him receive it, will for ever deter you from knocking twice when on such en embassy again. At the next house you ring the bell. After a protracted interval, you are answered from the area by a mul lion, who gently hints to you that she " wishes people wouldn't come bothering with them there cireniars." It is evident this will never do. You try sending round by a couple of boys. One of them, who is honest, gets kicked down the steps of the first house he raps at; the other you discover to have put your letters down the gutter grating, and to have vent his morning in a game of marbles round the corners. You make up your mind that there is nothing for it but the postman, and thede frsytnent of the postage by yourself. Well, in the course of a fortnight, you receive per haps 40 replies to your 4,000 letters ; 20 are unfa vourable, 10 promise you proxies conditionally, and the other 10 promise them specifically. It is evident your attempts have been attended with very slight emcees. Yon are greatly disheartened, but, remem bering the kindness of the bland secretary, you resolve on calling and asking his advice. He assures you that there is not the least ground for alarm. He has heard the c Ise spoken of by several governors u a highly interesting one. You have only to go on to " make the case known." Have you canvassed the governors of any of the other asylums ? It occurs to you to ask what good that would do : and then you learn for the first time that these, like other commercial bodies, have a system of " exchange." A. desires to get a boy into one school, B. wishes to get a girl into another. A. knows fifty governors of 13.'s school, and B. has influence with seventy-five governors of A.'s. It happens probably that fewer votes are required to ensure success in the girls' school than in the boys'. The seventy-five votes in the one are conse quently about equal iu value to the fifty votes in the other. A. and B. accordingly exchange proxies. Sometimes it happens that " the coase of exchange" varies. There is a run upon the one school, whilst there are few candidates for the other. In this event, the exchange is effected with this addition, that (as the case may be) A. or B. "receives the:dif ference." Your eyes begin to open. You see that there is a vast deal more in getting a child in than merely can vassing the governors. " Have you got any , of our next half-year's votes?' inquires the society. You inquire also the meaning of this, and find that it is expressed in some such rule as the following:— That say person desirous of promoting the success of a candidate at one election by a contribution to the charity, and wishing to anticipate hie interest at the following election, shall be allowed to take the votes to which he would be en titled on the two occasions at one time. Yon have got no such votes, but you see immedi ately the effect of the regulation. It seta at defiance every calculation as to how many votes a child may require to ensure success. The power it gives to the committee and the officers is also great. They alone know who exercised second votes at the last election ; whilst you, in ignorance of these particulars, may have been canvassing hundreds in the lists they sold you, who have no remaining votes at all. In fact, you have been working blindfold, and yon find your self, at this period of the business, 301. and all your trouble worse than when you began, lees the promise of a dozen proxies and the secretary's assurances of unqualified success. The probabilities are that, at this stage, you aban don the matter in disgust. But we will suppose that you determine to go on and to get your child in at all hazards. The day of election comes. You find your self, as is sure to be the case, with a very insufficient number of votes. You consult the secretary again. lie cannot, he says, find much time to speak to you. He regrets your position. He feels certain that you cannot " have made the case sufficiently known" (which means, in reality, that you have not sufficiently advertised the asylum. He hints that the only chance left is "to bay or to barrow." What is meant by buy ? The secretary's explanation is that you must pay down a certain sum of money to the asylum, for which you will receive a corresponding number of proxies. Other people say this word " buy " is susceptible of a different interpretation. The secretary never heard of such a thing; but nevertheless in certain of the asylums there is such a rule as the following, which undoubtedly appears to apply to something more than is expressed : That if at any time it shall be proved that the admission of a child has been procured by false representations, fraud, or by payment of money in any way, except directly to Me officers of Me corporation, such admiesien shall be declared void. The word "borrow" has much the same meaning as " buy," only that with borrowing is associated the agreeable idea of future, as contradistinguished from immediate, payment. Some one, situated like yourself, has got a number of votes: a number, however, in sufficient to secure success. He accordingly lends you his votes upon your I 0 U, to pay him the same or a greater or less number (according to the " course of exchange ") at the next election. In oases of close contests votes may be disposed of to great advantage in this way. To be sure these votes are registered for ;candidates to whom the subscribers never intended they should be given ; but " the sub scribers "—what do they know about it ? In any state of life a man who once gets into debt finds it no easy matter to get out again. It is the same in these cases. The " borrowers " only be come more inextricably embarrassed at each half yearly election. All this tends very greatly to the benefit of the asylum. Sooner or later you will have to " buy " votes for them, in order to pay off those you have borrowed. One proxy-hunter we did know who released him self from his embarrassments. It was that celebrated and popular divine, the 'Rev. Dr. Smooth." The way he did it was clever, and may afford a hint to others. " Dr. Smooths' candidate at a certain election was subjected to a severe opposition. To get him in. the tsverend doctor borrowed votes till he was blue. At the next elec tion they were to be paid off. In the interval he preached two of his most touching sermons to "_is congregation, and made collections in aid of the " charity," but though the amount received at the doors was large, the votes he obtained on account of the guineas were only half as many as the doctor wanted. If you had been present on the day his I 0 U fell due, you would have seen " Dr. Smooth" very busy indeed. He was collecting votes right and left for " one of the most interesting and affecting cases ever brought under the notice of the asylum." Father drowned, mother burnt in her b 4 leaving seventeen orphans, most of them twins and the youngest in arms, utterly des titute even of a crust! One old lady, really a kind-hearted person, half cried her eyes out when she was told of it, and offered to take the family some flannel. " Dr. Smooth" would not hear of that. He could not think of harrowing up the feelings of any member of his congregation by exposing to their view such a scene of sorrow. Besides, one of them had typhus. He only asked for proxies. Votes came in rapidly, but, alas ! "Dr. Smooth" said, in by no means sufficient numbers to get the child elected. In sorrow he employed them in paying off his old score. To all subsequent inquiries for the unhappy child the worthy divine replied that " he had happily been the instru ment of providing for it in another way." There were persons who hinted that the child bad no real existence at all ; but they were clearly scandal mongerr,and calumniators of "that dear Dr. Smooth." To the widowed mother and the orphan's friend we conclude by addressing a word of caution. Pause, consider well, before you enter upon an Orphan Society's election. If you have money to spare,good— (though, perhaps, that would be more advantageously spent in other good ways) ; if you have interest with a managing member of the committee,better—(he can do something tor you); if you have in the bland secre tary a private friend of whose fidelity you are well assured, beet of all (your success, we should say, was certain). But if you have neither of these, trust not to the excellence of your claim ; rely not upon the power of your appeal; believe not that the strongest case that ever was pre sented will weigh in the scale against jobbery and trick. Few people ever entered into the fire of these contests and came out unscathed. Hope not that you will be an exception. You may . do the work of ad vertising the asylum under the impression that you are aiding the fatherless; you may spend your time and your money in bringing that institution under public notice, believing that you are making known an orphan's pitiable tale; but after a vain and profit less competition against wealth and influence, and power and chicanery, the result will assuredly only be that you will share that bitter disappointment, that heartrending misery and distress, which these elections invariably ins: :t upon hundreds of the sorrow-stricken victims of misfortune. GERMANY. THE FRANKFORT ASSEMBLY TAKES PART AGAINST THE KING OF PRUSSIA. The Assembly at Frankfort was occupied on the 14th with two meet important subjects ; th e f i rit being with regard to the mur d er of Ro. beet Blum, and the second with regard to the state of matters at Berlin. On the latter subject the Assembly came to a most impor., tent decision. A committee having been mined to report on the state of affairs in Prussia, the majo rity proposed the following motion, which wee adopted by the Assembly : " The National Assembly agreeing with the me t . sores taken by the ministry of the empire, declares that it is necessary—first, to engage the Prussian mi. nistry to revoke the order for transferring the Ne. tional Assembly to Brandenburg as soon as measure, shall have been taken to guarantee the dignity e n d liberty of its deliberations at Berlin ; secondly, that the crown of Prussia should surround itself as soon S A possible with a ministry possessing the confidence of the country and fit to remove all fear on the subject of reactionary tendencies and the infringements of the liberty of the pepple." This motion was signed by the following majority of the commission : Jordan of Marhurg, iehar4 ' 4 ergenhahn, Jordan of Berlin, Schwartz, Her _ oeowariz, Ham, von Saucken, l'eur of Augsburg, Lontael Falk, Wiedenmann, and Von Haunter of Dinkelsbohl. sfhe motion of the minority, which was not adopted, was in substance the same as the one abovementioned, but expressed in stronger terms. On the subject of Robert Blum, M. Simon, of Trews put a question to the ministry as to whether they had intelligence of his having been shut. 11. Mohl, Minister of Justice, declared that he had no official intelligence of the fact, but he en. flounced that two members of the Assembly were about to leave Frankfurt on that day c for Vienna to protect their colleagu es in that apital. At the close of the proceedings an urgent motion was announced by Simon of Treves, viz., e in consideration that three separate letters had arrived from Vienna, detailing the fate of Robert Blum; lad in maideration that, according to the lute enacted on the 10th oJober, for the protection of the As sembly, the execution of Blum bee.,mes murder, the National Assembly is called upon to deliberate at once upon measures that shall ensure the pun. ishment of the murderers." Mehl, the Mi nister of Justice, immediately stated that the envo3s of the ministry had started at 2 p.m., for Vienna ; that they had instructions to demand the surrender of all papers and correspondence referring to Blum's affair; and to send these, together with a full statement of all relative particulars forthwith to Frankfort. Till then, he thought, matters must stand as they were. The urgency of Simen's motion wu nel,atived, and it was referred to the committee for Austrian affairs. The house adjourned at 3 p.m. The execution of Blum was the general topic of conversation in Frankfort on the 14th. 'file names of the members sent to Vienna are Bauer, of Aug.. burg, and Pool, of Munich. A large fraction of the left and left centre had, on the evening of the 14th, resolved to send a deputation to the imperial Minister of Justice, requesting the additional despatch of an Austrian member on the same mission, one who is altogether of a more resolute character, and better ac quainted with the affairs of Vienna. I'ItUSSIA.—We have accounts from Berlin to the evening of the 14th. The National Assembly, hay. lag been expelled from the Schiltzen Haus m. t on the 14th in the Town Hall, Unruh presiding. Proposals for accusing the government and military authorities of having violated still farther the rights of the Chamber, were made and referred to committees. The time allowed to the burgher guard to surrender their arms expired at sunset ; but 500 stand had been given up. A heavy fall of snow on the evening of the 14th, rendered the sfreets very uncomfortable for the troops. AUSTRIA.—Our correspondent writes, as follows: VIENNA, Nov. 12. The executions during the last few days base been so numerous, and, above all, so secret, that even the I'resse of this day, the journal which, on account of its highly mo derate, if ern coaservatise, principles, wu the first to r.ceive from Windischgratz the permission to re-appesr, refers to twilimehinacacotnpane which , i it iniootnweiotliistnd notwithstanding disapprobation, the Ia b a n"erl e l rosene abour ed hen sion for the consequences. " The terrible reports a (gerus the above journal) respecting numerous executions, maks the most painful :mpression on the minds of a population accustomed to a mild domination. We are unable to reduce those reports to their true proportions " With reference to the latter part of the foregoing sentence, I may add, that although I stated the day before yesterday, on good authority, that Messenhauser was shot, and yentas day, on apparently equally good authority, that his sentare had been commuted into imprisonment for life, 1 an sdl unable to announce positively which of the two statementals the correct one. The names of the foreigners only who haw been executed are given in the IViener Zeituoi. And, propos of those prisoners, the official journal just quoted states that out of the number of persons arrested since dm 31st ult. some G2l have been already set at liberty by " the imperial and royal military central commission of examine tion." One may infer from that statement that the number of arrests has been very great. In fact, these have been five times of late for the host of spies who had begun to think that their occupation was for ever gone, and who did not indulge in the hope that Windischgratz would out- Metternich Metternich in his system of espiosonsie and in the surest' of his measures. According to the Wiener Zeitung, not less than 244 per sons were arrested on the 9th inst., shoat ten days alter the captur , of the city by the imperialists.
