RESIGNATION OF LORD PAL3IERSTON. • The Times, on a topic which has been much dis cussed during the last few days, has the following : " A few days ago, after the departure of all the ministers from London, and at the near approach of Christmas, a cabinet council was unexpectedly summoned, although no assignable cause of public interest had occurred to ex plain this sudden requisition. This cabinet was held on Monday, the .12d inst., and it was remarked with surprise that Lord Palmerston, one of the most assi duous members of the government, was not present. From these eircum3tances suspicion was excited, and surmise became rife. We now have it in our power to remove all further uncertainty on the subject, for we are enabled to announce that, from the day on which that cabinet was held, Nlscount Palmerston ceased to hold the offiee of Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, or to be a member of her Majesty's government. • • • We have reason to believe that the seals have been offered to, if not already accepted by, a nobleman who, though comparatively young in political life, has commanded the pr-ise and esteem of the country in all the positions he has hitherto filled." TICE fact of the Globe, a government paper, un dertaking to excuse the cony (171itt of Louis NAPO LEON is of some importance. It says, or would • seem to say, that our ministers, or some of e,ur I misters, prefer the military despotism of IsTarouog to either the turbulent freedom of a republic or the narrow constitutional system of the 0 RLEANs dynasty. j The arguments made use of by the Globe are more objectionable than its preferences. The Mobt says„ that in free countries power is divided, but divided in such a manner that euntendin; parties have always an arbiter to appeal to. Thus, nova, power in the United States is divided between the Con greas and the I'mi:soot:sr, and the latter MA often pursue policy contrary to the legislature ; as was the ease both with Jail:sox and with !iota. But the Pitystinsr must appeal to public opinion, scattered as it is over a seine of local states and capitals. lie has not the power to force this opinion, and he cannot elude its verlict. In Englund, according to the Globe, the Cint:sx is orbiter betwixt contending parties. But, argues the mii,isterial print, in France, under the republic, power was divided, and there was no arbiter. 'the A ienitly thought itself supreme, the I'REsIDENT put in also his claim to independence and distinct action. And there being no other way of Cciding between these conflicting powers than by having recourse to eiolence, LOUIS NAPOLEON was warranted in doing so. It is ditlicult to say whether there be more un truth or more sophism in these speculations. In the first place, the French republican constitution left no doubt whatever as to where the source of power lay. It hey in the Assembly, of whose de erns the was but the executive power. The l'itr.otwx r wan not only to execute the stand. ing laws, but to obey the decision of the legislature with respect to peace and war, to treaties', and a hoot of duties wide'', with us. belong exclusively to the government. Ihe President of the UNITED STATEN shares his executive power with the Senate—in some important pints of his duty. The English execu tive, though fret to act, must not wander far from the opinion of the majority in parliament and in the country. When the English minister is free, it is upon questiens. especially of foreign policy, on which the Itaili42 public and the British purliament seldom have an opinion till it is too late for anything, save reuret. But with respect to the French PRESIDENT there was really no conflict of opinion whatever. From the day of his appointment he always stooped to the majority of the -assembly, and adopted its policy, even when it was deeitlealy hostile to the liberties of the people and of Europe. The Assembly was not more conservative than Louts NAPOLEON. Ile not only sanctioned the law of the alst of May, disfran chising the French people, but took the author and reporter of that law to be his chosen minister. The only dila:note between Louts NAPOLEON and the' Aasembly was the amount of salary that he was to draw, and how long ho was to enjoy it. It was quite evident that if the Assembly granted him a full dotation, and so altered the constitution as to admit of his re-election, Louts NAPOLEON would hate remained the humble servant of the Assembly and tho permanent chief of the republic. It was only when they refused him money, and threatened to cut short the presidential tenure by which he en joyed a large salary—it was only then that there arose any doubt in any mind as to where power lay, or who was to be * the arbiter. It was a mere money question. And, as NAPOLEON did, when he swept the contents of the directorial treasury into Sit:YEs' lap,—taking the power for himselt, and leaving the money to his coadjutor in the rcvolutiuu of the lath Brumaire,—so might the National Assembly have done: have given Louts NAPOLEON all the wealth his lavish habits could require, and kept the power. Instead of that, they curtailed him of power, stinted him in money, snubbed him in matters even of etiquette, and he hayed to him more like a gang of unruly schoolboys pelting a hated usher, than as statesmen dealing with a bold, dashing, unscrupulous, and unprincipled adventurer. These foolish men actually put the idea of the coup great in LOUIS NAPOLEON'S head, when, instead of opposing to hint their respect for law, for the rights of the people, and of parliament, they actually discussed the necessity of appointing a general and raising an army of their own. And the very last days of the Assembly were employed in drawing up and discussing the clauses of a law regulating how the PuEstimter was to be accused, and condemned, and set aside. When, in retort to this, Lurtr Ncrtn.rox called such a man as ST. ARNAUD to his councils, it was pretty evident what he intended. And no one, save such politicians as M. Dens, could have been deceived. Even the Timis wrote half-aalosen laboured panegyrics on the firmness, talents, and worth of this same ST. ARNAUD, who was for a fortnight the god of its idolatry, un til the General showed his pnnciplea of strategy and humanity by drawing up his troops on the boule vards, and * directing them to fire into the houses. " Mire pear aux riches," as the socialists say. Whilst Sr. .tIiNAPD was concocting his scheme, CHINA:ULMER anti Caystusac were picking their teeth, resting on their pillows at home, with all their palith.al correspond, nir . 4,r the laid three years lying on their desks, and not a thought of precaution or defence. M. TIMERS alone put his papers out of the way. the true reason of his exile ; whilst all CHAN GARNIER's and CAVAIGNAP'S secrets were taken with them, and all their connexions and plans disclosed. But all this folly on the part of Louis NAPOLEON'S enemies in the Assembly did not warrant the step that he has taken. The blood that he has wantonly spilt lies at his door. The con s tituti ona l cause w hi c h he has with recklessness and perjury betrayed and slain, to the !swifter and joy of the despots of the continent. constitutes in every country the only hope of rational freedom, of civilisation. and of order. The ativentuna who applies his stiletto,or his more murder ous chloroform, to an existence and a principle so vital, so indispensable to a country as that, and when he commits the traitorous and lidonious set merely fur the sake of his own selfish cupidity or smbitioa— that is a man to be viewed and condemned by Englishmen upon bread, moral, and conscientious grounds. not excused by the speculations and hair splittings of political philosophy. The ruffian who stifles his country's liberties and murders her sons is not to be exculpated by the plea that there was a conflict of powers, and that in this conflict he did not know on which side lay justice and right. Such special pleading as this is unworthy of an able paper like the Globe. Such feeling and such:philosophy arc not English ; nor will a jury of this country acquit a culprit like Loris NAPOLEON, arraigned before it, whatever amount of such transcendental logic, and such dubious morality bo used in his defence. YESTERDAY We reported the last sitting of the commission of inquiry on the rights of the Crown, the commoners, and others, in the royal domain in Essex called Hainault Forest. The proceedings before that court suggest some remarks on the use and abuse of crown property. We do not now refer to such of the hereditary landed property of the Crown as may contribute to the personal enjoyment ' of the sovereign, or any of the royal family, as Wind sor St. Jame s ' s , and other royal palares ; but we allude to those forests and chases, all wastes or semi wastes, which have hitherto formed mere nests of jobbery. Indeed, this species of property, being well nigh valueless, has for some reigns past been given up to the public, and placed under the management of the officials of the Woods and Forests. The abominable character of that management has been shown by the recent disclosures elicited by parlia mentary investigation in reference to the New Forest. I In truth, a royal forest has long been recognised in this country as a tract of land placed out of then pale of utility and almost beyona the reach of MI- prevenient. This has recently been felt o strongly by the go vernment, that considerable changes have been made and are making iu the management of the royal forests; and such changes will possible involee some amelioration. Hainault Forest will ultimately be disafforested; the rights of the Crown, and of the owners of adjoining land, arc to be investigated and defined ; and then, we believe, something like an enclosure of the forest is to tole place. That is the purpose with which the commissioners have been sitting at Ilford, reports of whose proceedings have appeared exclusively in our columns. One question considered at one of the sittings was, whe ther a tract of 40 acres, called Chadwell heath, situated a long distance from the " King's woods," was within the inner and outer boun daries of the forest, and whether it belonged to the Crown or the Lord of the Manor of Harking. The value of the poss.ssion may be estimated by the evidence of the acts of ownership adduced on both aides; that Gar the Crown showing that wane twenty or thirty years ago a keeper of the forest had felled a few trees on the heath, which were sold by the Crown, while the only act of owner ship exercised by the Lord of the Manor seems to have been to give leave to persons to take away soil from Chadwell-hcatb. But it seems the Lord of the Manor had also exercised within the " King's-woods" rights,—if rights they be,—very similar to those he had used over C'hadsvell-heath, and the commissioners decided that they were bound to treat the heath as part of the Kiugs-woods. What effect that may have on the future value of the property, or the competing interest of the Lord of the Manor, we know not; but what we would point to as illustrated by these inquhics is the utter state of desolation in which these royal forests keep a district. llere, withix a few miles of the metro polis, we find a tract of several thousand acres co vend with stunt( d timber, fern, and brushwood; used for keeping deer, and &pasturing the miserable cattle which *rc turned out by persons having emu- MUD rights ; and furnishing legitimate employment fur only a few keepers and woodmen, but affording harbour and occasional plueder fur a wretched and often vagabond population, who occupy . cottages on the borders of the tbrcst, and arc a class Intermediate between indifferent labourers and Gipsies. Amongst the rights stated were those of all widows residing in the parish of Barking, and not being in the receipt of parish relief, to receive either wood or money from the steward. There appear to have been generally upwards of eighteen ot these widows, amongst whom five loads of wood had for some years been divided, or they had received Bs. in money instead. The Earl of NIMININGTON, the ranger of the forest, had stopped the widows allowances. Then, all the inha bitants of Staplefiird had turned cattle into the forest as long as the "reeve" of that parish could remem ber, paying two pounds fur a cow and four pounds for the run of a horse during the year. Now, if there be one device more than another calculated to render land useless, it is to give one per. sun the right to the soil and another the right of com mon over it. In such a state of things improvement is impossible. We presume that the iuclusure of the forest now to take place will get rid of such obsolete usages, and that to the commoners there will be allotted lands in lieu of their common rights,—the Crown taking its forest free from all liabilities. Then the question is, how should this land,--which is substantially the property ot the public,—he dis posed of? If it is to be laid out in plantations, under the pretence of growing timber for the navy and so forth, we shall find that there will still be a costly staff of rangers, surveyors, woodmen, keepers, and the like, and that the expense of managing the estate will render it, as at present. a losing affair for its real owners—the people; while the prospective benefit to the nation, of growing for itself tim ber, which can be purchased cheaper, is, to say the least, highly problematical. What, then, should be done ? If the public advantage is to be the object in view, there is only one rational and business-like method of dealing with this property, and that is, to sell it out and oat by public competition, in such moderate portions as will be certain to attract nu merous purchasers. Let the Woods and Forests' commissioners lay out main roads, and make such open watercourses as may be necessary to give an outfall to drainage of the different parts of the pro perty when distributed by sale, and they will have performed all the functions they can usefully dis charge in reference to the national wastes. All attempts at continuous management can only lead to jobbery and failure ;—to public loss and official dis grace. JI:DGMENT on tho Bells of Clapham has at length been given. Any anti-papist publisher who contemplates a con tinuation of Foss's Book of Martyrs down to the present year, must not omit the life and sufferings of l Mr. WILLIAM SOLTAU, of the Manor-house, Acre lane, Clapham. That unfortunate gentleman has, it would seem, been reserved for a species of agony, the like of which—for unceasing protraction, if not for severity,—is not to be found among the details of ingenious torture set forth in the " Acts and Monuments." When heretics were rolled down hills in barrels of spikes : when they were hung upon tenter hooks like beef, or suspended, legs uppermost, like game; when they were buried up to the neck that their heads might serve their foes as skittles ; when they were converted into wheel-tors ; when they were trussed likefowL3and finally roasted, their sutfilings could be numbered by days; but Mr. SOLTAIfS has been a lingering agony of years. In deed, the mere recital of his peiae forte et dare occu pied, in KINDERSLET'S court, three entire days. Happily the story is capable of abridg e went. It is very touching in any form.. On the _'sth of )(arch, a.n., 1817, Mr. WILLIAM SOLTAI: purchased one of the two dwellings into which the Mauer house, Acre-lane, Clapham, had been divided; and, for thirty-one years, enjoyed his cc coranev with all the race and comfort which charac terise Ale lot of a private gentleman in easy circum stances. During the whole of that period he had— so far as we can discover—no cause to be dissatisfied with the equally comturtable gentlemen in easy cir cumstances who were, from time to time, his neigh bours iu the adjoining half of tho Mansion. Up to 1819, he seems to have lived a happy and a prosperous gentleman ; but that year of grace was his black year. The so-called " papal aggression " had commenced; and, in July, • body of Roman catholic, calling them selves Redemptorist Fathers,' invaded Clapham. They bought themselves in under tLe same roof with Mr. Bomar' and converted their moiety of the Manor-house into a monaster y .. The ruin of Mr. SOLTACS peace commenced in August. A wooden frame was erected in the roof close to Mr. SOLTACS bed-ruom ; and in it was inserted the instru ment of torture which eventually drove its victim first into the Court of Exchequer, and, finally - , into the Court of Chancery—than which nothing stronger could, perhaps, be adduced in proof of the extremity of clespemtiou to which he was goaded. THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 24, 1851. This ialiensat of torture was a belL At five o'clock every Mr. Somitt, his three daughters, his dues hters, his son, and his servants had their rest broken by the tolling of this bell for ten minutes. At by no means long intervals during the whole of each day the ringing was repeated. ' The principal sufferer expostulated •he wrote to the officiating priest, he wrote to Dr. 'WtsesuN he saw Dr . WISEMA.N'S solicitor. What was the res ult? As an uncommon indulgence, wrung from a rigid sense of bell-tolling duty, one hour's more sleep was vouchsafed to the household; and the bell was not sounded until six o'clock each morning ; but, as a set-off to this liberal concession, by May last a regular church, calculated to hold 400 sitters, had been built; with—only 20 yards from Mr. SOLTAU'B bedroom—a very tall steeple containing a full peal of half-a-dozen bells. The martyr had now to endure the noise of these church bells, and of the chapel bell besides (seven bells in all), five times daily,six times on Saturday , and Sunday; and, during festivals, all day long. On these occasions reading, writing, and conversing in Mr. SOLTAOI house were impos sible. Iho wretched family were constantly stunned by noises percussed, according to the affi davits, from upwards of two tons of bell-metal. Such an incubus of sound could render existence only tolerable to Morose in BEN JONSON'S " Eviciner with his ears stuffed with cotton; or, with his " turband of nightcaps" budded over them. The ordinary intercourse and transactions of life must have been continually suspended. A morn ing visit to Mr. SOLTAU must have been an affair of dumb motion; pantomimic gesture the ordinary mode of family communication. Private con versation must have been only attainable by leaving home and taking a walk—perhaps for ' a couple of miles—out of car-shot. The very inter vals of silence on the non-ringing-all-day days must have served to increase rather ' than to mitigate the agonies of the sufferers. Imagine the tantalising effect of an interesting discussion, between the chimes, at breakfast, interrupted by the beginning vibrations of a "bob minor;" or an exciting interview with your solicitor broken in upon by a " bob maximus ;" or the captivating prattle of your youngest grand daughter cut short by the leading off of a thundering " triple grandsire bob." or a difficult calculation contused and falsified by a sudden crash of caters" or of " twe!ves-in!" Life would be worthless under such unceasing calamities; the best a man could do would be to copy Mutton's other expedients "by reason of the perpetuity of the ringing," and devise "a room with double walls and treble ceilings; the windows close shut and caulked; and there to live by candlelight ?" The wretch who was tied to a Great Tom, rung mad, and then bob-majored to death, was, compared with Mr. SOLTAtt, merci fully dealt with: his agony was short. L n fortunately, the only remedy open to the Clapham martyr was of a nature to prolong rather than to cur tail Ins anguish. He went to law; and, notwit hstand int; that the tintinabulating church was dedicated to j " Our Immaculate Lade of Victories," a jury, in the Court of Exchequer, defeated the bell-ringers by their verdict; and, for a time, silenced the belfry. Again their victim enjoyed a quiet home: again he was placed in a condition to receive morning calls, to chat, to cypher, and to breakfast in unmolested peace. But the calm was deceitful : the truce was short. In November the bells began again. Here arc' the statistics of the renewed (bat now modified) nuis ance :—" One bell was rung at a quarter to 0 for six minutes ;at 20 minutes past 10, three bells ; ate quar ter to 11, one bell :at half-past 6, three bells ;at 10 mi nutes to 7, three bells; and on Sunday all the bells were rung as formerly." The " Redemptorist Fathers" hay ing set at nought, after a 'anise, the verdict of a common law court, it remains to be seen whether they will defy a judgment of the Court of Chan cery. They claimed the privilege of ringing their bells as frequently pa- diem as heretofore on each Sunday and Saints' day, which, considering the fullness of the Saints' calendar, may mean three hundred days per three hundred and sixtyffive Vice-Chancellor KINDEASLEY has done his best to abate the noisy nuisance. It is yet to be seen with what grace the " Redemptorist Fathers" will accept the decision. SotrAn's was neither a private nor a special martyrdom. Doubtless a goodly circumfere nee of his neighbours shored it ; the bewildered of Albany-street will rejoice in his victory ; the parishioners of Pim lico sympathise with it, the bell-worried of Wells street will clap their hands for joy, and the vic tims of campanihan zeal in all densely-populated and busy localities rill, no doubt, if the decree of the court take general eftbet, immediately subscribe to crown this three years' martyrdom with a piece of plate. While the fitting use of church chimes cannot be objected to, their abuse, whether perpetrated by Protestant or Papist ropes, is a very annoying nuisance. Amidst the busy hum of men in a dense city, or even in a populous suburb, they are simply a distraction. Their use—and indeed their beauty—is only manifest in country parishes; for which alone they were originally designed : for 1 when introduced into churches by PArtisics, bishop of Rola, in Campassnia, in the year 400, there were very few town churches in existence, nor were there j for centuries afterwards. When pleasantly rung' oat from a country steeple, they serve to call in the distant and outlying members of the flock, to the fold; and, softened by the clear response of hill and dale, field and meadow, their music is agree sble to the ear, and grateful to the feelings. In the midst of a rural landscape, they may Speak the genius of the hour, And bid the sons of mirth be glad, And tell of sorrow to the sal, Reflection to the wise ; But, vibrating against the dense walls of a crowded town, or crashing twenty yards from a gentleman's bed-chamber, they destroy in the mind every sen timent of devotion which is essential to the earnest performance of those rites to which they are the DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. The principal conditions of the last arrangement proposed to the German governments for the admi nistration of the duchies of Schleswig and Holstein, by Denmark, the acceptation of which it was the mission of M. von Dille, at present in Vienna, to obtain, are as follows: 1. The re-establishment of the old provincial diets, at well m Schleswig as in Holstein, is conceded by the Danish government, but under the condition that it is not the last existing diet that is to be summoned again ; that diet is to be declared dissolved by royal decree, said s new election for another taken, according to the election law of 1931, with the exclusion of the voto possessed by the House of Augustinburg. 2. That the Danish government regards the Diet to be thus summoned as one ad interim only, and called for the special purpose of framing an entirely new law of election. 3 That the former connection between the duchies for administrative and judicial purposes shall not be again established, but that each ducliv shall have its own administration and it. own supreme tribunal. 4. That on the part of the Diet of the confederation, the resolution of the 17th of September, 1816, reserving to the Diet a competence to maintain the right of the duchy of Holstein to a closer connection with the duchy of Schleswig, shall be regarded PA cancelled. After the abolition of the administrative and judicial connection none of the former institutions common to both of the duchies shall continue to east, except the social nexus of the Rittersehaft. BELGIUM. The debate, with closed doors, on the Hollando- Belgian treaty was terminated on Saturday night, by the Second Chamber. After the public sitting, the Chamber proceeded to Tote, and the treaty was adopted by a majority of 31 to 21. The Chamber then separated. Letters from Berne state that the ministerial de partments have been distributed among the members of the Federal Council in tho following manlier : Political department, Doctor Ferrer, President of the Confederation : Justice and Po:ice, M.

In connexion with this news, which reaches me from a sure private source, I may mention that an Aulic Counsellor of the Czar, M. de Despine de Fohrn, brother-in-law d Prince Anatole Demidoff, has just arrived front Stock holm, in Paris. The latest news received np to 4 o'clock at the Ministry of the Interior gives the result of the poll in 48 departments. The total number of affirmative votes is 3,500,000.

Bee ryer and de Falluux, and have sent you the letters o, these eminent legitimists, which protest against that I calculated misrepresentation. The policy of absten tion rather than of negative voting . was adopted in Brittany and by the legitimist party ge nerally in the departments, although not in Pal is, obviously on account of the difficulty of driving the peasantry to the poll. The policy of abstention, while it covered this weakness, had the advantage of wearing the semblance of a protest against the legality of the poll altogether. Nothing could suit the sentiments of the legitimist leaders better than this reserve, at once expedient and dignified. In tho south the socialists are in great force.

The following was written before the above loturns had become known " The results of the poll have been hitherto favour able beyond the most sanguine expectation for Louis Napoleon. Lp . to the present moment the total of known votes is as follows:—Yes, 2,418,936 ; No, 389,358. Tho Pays gives apparently a more ad- vanced state of the poll, of which the numbers are as follows :—Yes, 2,911,963 ; No, 431,037. "The negative votes, according to this state of the poll, would form about 1-1 per cent. of the sum of negative and affirmative votes polled, and a much less fraction, considering the numerous abstentions of the sum of votes inscribed. There is as yet no official account of the number of electors inscribed in the departments, which deprives the list of the de partmentul polls of an etscntial feature. You will observe that the sum of negative votes is highest in the sth and 6th arrondissements, where the na tional guard has been di-armed.

In fact, generally in every arrondissemont the votes have been more numerous than in 18 IB,except in the 10th,whero the Legitimists prevail. The great majority in favour of the Presi dent will give strength enough to his government to enable him, if willing, to relax the severe coercion which has prevailed since the coop traot. I have previously announced that the prisoners of Hum would be set free after the final result of the poll has been proclaimed. Some relaxation of the restric tions placed on the press may also bo expected, uud altogether a system betokening more confidence in the state of public opinion. The nc2:t measure to be looked fur is the promulgation of the constitution. "The department of the Seine was divided into 233 sections, of which only two gave a majority against Louis Napoleon." It is expected that the scrutiny of the votes, in cluding those from Algeria and Corsica, will be over in time for the official proclamation of the result Sy Jun. I. It is intended, upon the occasion of the pro clamation, that a solemn .7C Drool shall be sung in Notre Dame, and that magnificent jilts shah be given in Paris.
