Ws lately contrasted the expose of goveraleg oat I colonise an der the system mewed Whore the Arid cat revolution, and the *Speer et goveming them at peessat. That this etemlay was he a gather b se to the old eyebolt these ma be little ail. w il a = the colonies also be gainers P • few simple hots will loathe the reader to three quid= for himself. In 1704 the egrefer thins of the year's experts from this comer, le all the colonies amounted to 569,9301.; in 1772 (a insolions year at that tints) it amounted to 6,022,1321. In 1704 the value of the whole export trade at this country for the year, including the colonises wee 600 004 i is 1772 th e exports to the colonise aka' were worth 6,022,1321. In the course of little mare than half a century the power of the colonies to par dons the manufactures and radon of the mother country increased twelvefold; at the end of period the trade of the mother country with the colonies alone was within a trifle of being equal in value to the whole of its trade at the onamenossant. This was no sw'den factitious increase, bet the result eta gradual healthy development of the colonial re sources; and no one needs to be reminded that of all states of society such a state of healthy progress is the most conducive to the happiness of a community and the growth of its intel4enos, refinement, and morality. To corroborate this opinion we need only refer to the earlier parts of the autobiography of FILANKLIN and of the biography of WASHINGTON. We are anxious to impress these facts, and the fads respecting the comparative expense of the old and new systems of colonial government which we ethenitted to oar readers on the 25th of last month, on the public mind; because we see that events are ti impend aziat which will render their knowledge imprthat in the people both of this country and tW colusits upon the course of action they are to adopt. The thee rapidly approaching when the system of whim between Great Britain sad its wlea suet =berm satire revision. Within the last quarter el a watery the entire power of local self.govarament may be said to have been vented ta the in habitants of Canada and Nova Scotia, two of oar most important colonies ; pretty considerable advances in the same direction have been made in the colony . of New South Wales; and hopes of similar concessions (which it would be dangerous to disappoint) have been held out to other colonies. During the same period the constitution of society in many of our colo- nies has undergone a material change : slavery has been abolished throughout the tropical colonies, and Australia is no longer one large gaol for the incarce ration of convicted felons. Lastly, the progress made in the substitution of a system of free trade fur the old complicated and artificial system of protections and restrictions, is en tirely changing the nature of our relations to the colonies. Many years cannot elapse before all these mutations and their consequences make them selves felt in demands for an entire change in the system of colonial government ; and it is of the utmost consequence that the people both of the cola nies and the mother country should bring to the discussion of these demands such an accurate know ledge of facts, such clear and just apprehensions of principle, as can alone ensure their being conducted in an amicable spirit and to a satisfactory result. Of the old colonies of Great Britain none surpassed in well regulated and successful enterprise the New England colonies. Before the war of independence they had engrossed by far the most important part of British deep-sea fisheries, and had extended them into regions to which the inhabitants of the old country had never dreamed of carrying the pursuit. They carried on a lucrative commerce with our own West ladies, and one 'scarcely less important though more irregular with the Spanish colonies. They were affluent, and in consequence valuable customers of the mother country. In their admirable arrangements for general public education they were even at that early period in advance of every country in Europe and a more moral and well regulated community did not exist. To revert to the question of public ex penditure, about 1765 the entire civil govern ment of Massachussetts Bay con annually 18,0001., of Connecticut 4,0001.; of New Hampshire and Rhode Island, 3,5001. each ; in all, 29,0001. When we look back upon the history of the foundation and growth of these colonies, we find on the one hand that the home government never contributed a farthing towards their settlement ; and on the other, that the home g4vernment allowed the founders to organise and administer their civil government with out interference. The pilgrim Mhos and their descendants passed no laws and appointed no officials that were not absolutely indispensable for preserving peace and order among themselves, and protecting the community from the assaults of the Indians. Their simple frame-work of government proved amply sufficient, and coot little or nothing. Contrast this chapter of colonial history with that which relates to the settlement of New Zealand. That colony was founded, like New England, without the consent or cooperation of the government, by a band of settlers containing a large admixture of the educated middle clam. Bat it was not consistent with the principles of the Colonial-office to leave them alone, as the government of the seventeenth century had left the New Englanders. The cum brous and complex machinery of an administrative go- vernment, fitted for a numerous and full-grown society, was forced upon them, and they . were denied all control over it. The consequence is that the deve lopment of the natural resources of New Zealand has in a manner yet to bo begun ; that instead of protect• ing themselves, they are placed under the guard of a considerable military detachment and three ships of war, for which we of the old country pay ; and tha t the 17,000 inhabitants of New Zealand pay 41,5241. of taxes, cf which 40,3061. me annually ex pended to maintain its civil institutions . In addition to this sum considerable advances have been made to defray the earlier expenditure of the colony, out d the imperial exchequer. For the present we leave our readers to draw their own inferences' from these contrasting histories of two colonies. But we will embrace an early opportunity to point the moral of their tales, and illustrate it by additional exempla from our colonial record's. Tim pressure of these had times has had the natural effect of compelling the householders of this immense city to look more narrowly into the various items of their expenditure than they had been in the habit of doing in ordinary prosperous years. A scrutiny of this description, pmweed imaltansously by several hundred thommed heeds Wake, has, doubtlees, given a powerful impulse to private sumo- miss, and to the acquisition of thrifty IWO% But this, after all, is the least d the advanagre whom have been derived from the pastel bet whole's*, &sa pling through which the nation has passed. A more remarkable result, and on. likely to be more exten sively and permanently beneficial, is the light which each man's inedtlitions ea hie own affairs hamthrown upon the intimate connexion whieti exists between in dividual thrift and the public economy of diadem. Every man who attempted to reduce his r :palatine found himself dapped short by a name of charges which no foresight of his could redoes to say poem able extent. Pinch himself as hr might In other re opens, the burthen of general end loodtaxes remained inexorably the mine. And when to these were adde d the exorbitant payments exacted for many of the in dmispensable necessaries of life, such as homeroom, e gas, and water, it was found that the career of each individual's retrenchment had to stop wonder' fully short of its destined goal. Of all the local burthens which weigh down the energies and fritter away the incomes of our mstropo- I Man population, the most palpably mho* and oppres sive are the gas and water monopolies. That they should be so patiently borne with as they are has often been a matter of surprise to us ; and we can act otherwise acomint for it than by the habit which has grown up of looking on them in the light of regular taxes. The irre gu larities in their e;gl e / are often, indeed, a eabjeot of complaint. these de not occur, we fancy most householders imitable more at the payment of poor's rots aid wlise rats, whose amount it is in their power le limit, than they do at the gas rate and wan rate , 1 over the emin. and the expeoditure of which the y panels se scaled whatsoever. For these latter are not tame, in any sense of the wadi but monopolies, 1 among the most powerful and irresponsible that mkt And yet it is almost marvellous to whams the ty with which two millions of people, re. = ii .ridtin epees of 80 square miles, sad osesse g such usexampled faci li ties for essabhis and malsised action against abuses of this description, Ist year after year pass away without any decided alba is rid dismeelvea of no monstrous an extortion. The sum new paid 63f gas and water in the metropo litan diarists is net mesh sheet of a million a year, while Ms sent el pmeisibe Os pa sad maintaining the d waist be estimated at mans this eure4 or at meet eanddrd, of that amount; the dibensre all slag es net profit into the pockets of the mamplisle. In SIM ropes% however, there are considerable differesses between the paeltim of Wee two name polies. The gm is a manufactured commodity, and woad be open to the competition that mots in every other manabetine. if it were not for the facin gs ler sombination afforded by the mode of its dis tillation. And es it is, that combination is always liable to be smiled, by the intrusion of new comps titers or the lineation of new Public at lentioa is likewise coastaatly send to the subject, !thresh in a very desultory ineffective way; so that, *the whole, there exists a sort of hops that in the course of time the gee monopoly in the metropolis will be broken up sad di spersed, as it has been Beady in some of our mamilieturing cities, and that by a course of tactics which we strongly recommend the Loa- domes to imitate. It is quite otherwise, we are sorry to lay, with the monopoly of water. The very circumstance of water I being a natural production favours the perpetuation of the monopoly, at the same time that it enormously increases the profits of the combining— or we might as aptly call dins, the 'wit h rtitioning "—companion For they might temple each other if they pre ferred it. Some of them were rivals owe; and others are the consolidated remains of rival companies, that first ruined each other, and then were purchased or absorbed by ems gigantic competitor. For, strange to my, competition for the supply of so cheap a com modity of water has proved to be among the most losing speculations that ever sharehalders clubbed 1 , their money for. For which, perhaps, the reason must be sought simply in the fact that it is a named 1 produotion, and leaves no margin for the exercise of that superior shill or economy which makes all the dfitereace between success and ruin in manatee marine rivalry. Be that as it may, it is melancholy to reflect that there was coos competition in the supply of water to the metropolis by private enterprise, and that so badly managed was that competition, or at' ll events so ruinous to all parties concerned, t hat it ter minated some thirty years . aio in that partition of the metropolis among the surviving companies, which has left its inhabitants ever since completely at their rile rii their mercy," we may truly my, for never was power more uncontrolled or irresponsible than that which these companies exercise over the supply to 2,000,000 of people of one of the first necessaries of existence. The wards of the committee of the House of Commons, appointed to inquire into the subject in 1821, describe with sufficient accuracy their power et the present day Tire public is at resat without any protection even against • farther indefinite extension of eurp, In COM of dispute, there is so tribunal but the boards of thee„panies themselves to which individuals can appeal ; are no regulations but sub as the oompanies may viduatarUy bare imposed on themselves, end may, therefore, at say time re volts, for the continuance of the supply in its present etate,or for defining the CONS is which it may be withdrawn frawthe householder. So far from there being any prospect of those com panies being called to account, and their powers cir cumscribed within due limits, they are on the con trary, taking every opportunity to extend the sphere of their operstioes. It is only the other day that an advertisement appeared in the papers, in which the Lambeth Waterworks Company announce their intention, in pursuance of an act which they obtained last session, of incresaing their capital by 200,0001. sterling, an d undertaking the supply of Thames water to a large section of the county of Sot o Cr from Esher end Kingston-on-Thames to don, anal hem thence to Lewisham. The blessings o . Metrope-1 litan monopoly are, in fact, Tepidly extending 1 them selves, and we suppose that shortly there will be no potty village within twenty miles of London whose inhabitants will not be able to bout that they pay as extravagantly for water as the Londoners themselves. l The Lambeth Company alone, at one fell swoop (11 Vic. c. 7), encloses some eighty square miles of 1 the richest and most populous part of the county of Surrey. In the abstract, of course, there is nothing that is not laudable in this proposal to provide the villegie twists of Surrey with a better and more regular supply of water than they have hitherto enjoyed. If there were any prospect that this Lambeth company would be kept in order by tho dread of competition we r gad f o r tu lagrat i ti m ia ltrng city the S conveniences on the pare air and healthy coocupefions of the Fountry ; but, as experience has proved, competition in a non manufactured article (corn and cattle we reckon as manufactures) cannot be carried on with emcees for any length of time ; and so many capitalists of t he last generation, so to may, burned their Sugars by speculating in water, that the experiment is not likely to be Used soon again. The existing companies are therefore masters of the field. Their understanding with each other is of the most thorough description, as indeed their interests require. There is nothing to prevent their gradually Idrawing the whole of the metropolitan counties into their net.

Yet now the oouncillors of these triumphant kings instantly confess that military triage b slight avail, and that in these days a esseurdry an be no loaner built on it. The first acts of the sovereigns are tomes pard on of their people for ova terrible carriers, excusin it as salutary, as neemary, bat as temporary ; whilst the most specious promises of coutitational and liberal government are sup eedded to allay the terrible master of popular discontent. In Austria this has been carried so far, that the Estrinoa in.l whose name took place the cruel bom bardment of Vienna, and the military manure which ensued—the Emperor by whom orders the Bela vonians of Prague were first decimated by German troops, and afterwerds the Germans of Vienna crushed by &Livonia noldisre—this puppet of an Emperor has been withdraws from the scene with an the odium of the past most undeservedly on his head. And his nephew, a youth of ten4e r r ial years, is brought forward as the wearer of the im • crown, to recon cile thedeep discontent of the am ue German population, not merely of Vicona,but of the empire, and to offer, at the same time, to the Solavonians and Italians, a prince, whose robe is unstained with blood, and on whose word, when given, the population may have treat.

A tour of sums of the priacipal thoroughbues of Paris about midnight supplied most gratifying proofs of the tranquillity with which the people are ex orcising their sovereign right of suffrage. Pre cautionary measures were taken, and patrols of the National Guard and police were occasionally Aeons- Me, but no necessity called for their interbrame. Om came of this tranquillity no doubt is, that the ✓emelt of the election begins to be regarded by the 1 , general as gradually decided, and, it Is in favour of Louis Napoleon. the voting will not close even in the depart. swat of the Seine until this evening at six o'clock, de was yet without even partial returns.

ROMR.—We have received despatches from oar nt at Rome to the date of the 4 th. The r s pe M de sent to Rome an ordonnance dated Gaeta, the 27th, declaring void all acts of the government, and superseding the government and the chambers by a state commission, consisting of Cardinal Cutraoam,• Prince Roviano Prince Barberini, Marquis Ricci, and Gene ral Zuccbi. Cardinal Cestracani, to whom the ordonnance was ad dremed, immediately communicated it to the Chamber of Representatives' the speaker of which convoked it at midnight on the Sd. It remained in session all night, and issued a proclamation in the morning, declaring that the resseipt addressed to Cardinal by the Pope was informal and invalid, that it was coantersigntd by no responsible person, and that a deputation of both houses should be requested to wait on his Holiness, and request his return to his dominions. Some of the members of the State Commission thus nominated, on receiving the intelligence, immediately I left Rome for the frontier, and the others declined ac cepting the commission. The Contemporanel of Rome states, that the Com ' mandant of Gaeta would not at Sig receive the Pope, so that his Holiness WU obliged to wait four hours for L en answer from the Neapolitan government, at the Hotel Cicerone, before he was conducted to the royal palm. No one here entertains a doubt that the ov a& at Vienna and Berlin flow from the sam e It is universally believed that a treaty or woe hen been made between the courts a at Petersburg, Vienna, and Berlin, for no other sh a than to combat and destroy the liberties lohi s i the people of Germany flattered themselves had acquired by the revolution of March. he well known that a large Russian military totes h e been concentrated in Poland and the provinces.' 0. Danube; and it is believed that these troop s h is been assembled solely for the purpose of intermesh ' in the affairs of Germany, in the event of their p i . renting an unfavourable appearance for the w e . reigns. This may be • groundless invention ; a ll , aka may possibly have collected these troops s o w, for its own security ; but the belief in the eschall of this new holy alliance of kings 'gains pel ui ... elides the whole of Germany; and this belief a u T io spired courage to one party and indignation to ellt i rest. It is Impossible to conjecture the results of crisis upon which we are entering ; but r o t tale, that the organic development of the it of the revolution of March is an impossibility. the King of Prussia must triumph, and then ths‘ man parliaments will be mere serfs of the or the King of Prussia must be defeated ; sal the people will dictate the law, and that law h very different from an amicable contract. The Prussian people, like the whole German poo l * have an instinct of good faith. Yon have seen bo., in the late transactions at Berlin,. the people clug b the side of right. Public opinion was not tasks & favour of the Berlin Assembly, until the mat attempted to prorogue it, and exile its menthe's, Brandenburg. The moment the Assembly ems* its powers, and declared that the taxes ought ag be payed, public opinion once more turned ageing k, I entertain rot the shadow of a doubt that time the Prussian people have, with like • pronounced sentence of condemnation on the elan ; the arbitrary enactment of the monarch. My ed o doubt is es to the manner in which this sentence was be carried into execution. _ Here, then, is the point at which the Freakhg Assembly ought to interfere. One word from thg body will suffice. Once more Destiny calls " Commend, and you will be obeyed." It did si know how to profit by the first opportunity—wm it know better now ? I almost hope it will. A mi. derable number of the right centre appear ready is condemn the7King of Prussia. They can scarcely's* they have so often protested their determinstim resist as soon as reaction should dare to raise its Ist And now reaction has risen in giant bulk in thou of all Europe. It is whispered that Von Gagern hu returned as satisfied from Berlin. His visit has been an sitis failure. This might have been foreseen from tie manner in which the King of Freesia and the Pis 'Oust of Frankfort met at Cologne. The King coil not forget his kingly character, and the president es unwilling to forget that he is president of the fed German parliament. Two each men are incompitAik and at Frankfort all the world knows that M. Vi Gagern failed to acquire at Potsdam as much ids enoe as is possessed by the youngest aide-de-cuop the King or the Prince-royal. Gagern has been 14 , enough engaged in public business to know thatt will not do to show his game ; but I am much Ili. taken if he has not come back from Berlin cured rf his hallucination about making the King of Prods emperor of Germany. Who is to be emperor, hem knows ; but this is certain that in a few weeks de fate of Germany will be decided for a long time.

PRUSSIA.—We hayTreceived the Berlin journals 1 of the Ath instant, with advices from Brandenburg to the 7th. The Prussian journals having sounded the alarm with regard to the late acts of the King, which they say are calculated to cause a separation of Prussia from the central power at Frankfort, an article appears in the &nate Anr.eiger, which con cludes by saying there is no separation, but the very contrary, and Pruaia is as much a pert of the Ger man unity as heretofore. A meeting of the majority of the members of the late constituent Assembly took place on the 7th at Brandenburg, under the pre sidency of Herr von Unruh, at which a fresh protest was made against its dissolution. AUSTRIA.—From Vienna we have news to the 6th instant. Addresses seem to be the order of the day. The Wiener Zeitung contains several from General Cordon to the army, from the Diet to the new Emperor, from that high personage to Windiach grit: and his sneerer. In the sitting of the Diet at Kremeier on the 4th, the debate was on the Budget, which showed a deficit of 491 millions of florins, of which 30 millions for the war, and 12 millions for the state treasury, are ander the head of extraordinary expensis. A credit of 80 millions is proposed to be raised. The project has been submitted to a committee. FRANKFORT, Dec. 8. The march of the Prussian government is in double quick time. The utmost consternation prevails among the honest members of the party of the right in our Frankfort Assembly. They believed that the Prus sian government had no object in view but to repress anarchy in order to strengthen its hands to support the liberty and unity of Germany, and reward all good children who have behaved well. And now they me this Prussian government, from which they hoped so much, breaking and destroying everything. There is no member of the Frankfurt parliament—not one —who does not understand that the Prussian govern own, in dissolving the Assembly and publishing a charter conceded sea favour, has destroyed every gua rantee for the liberties which the Prussian people bad acquired. There is one party in the parliament which thinks this quite right—the party of Gen. ltadowitz and the Jesuits. But this party is inconsiderable in point of numbers, and is composed exclusively of absolutists and jesuita. Von \lecke'. party the second section of the right —is in despair _at seeing its principle—loyalty to lawsjes tablished by the kin—overturned. The highest cen tre—the party of the Casino—knows neither what to do nor what to say. It is stupified by the blow. It cannot accept the charte uctooyfe, for that would be to destroy its own influence : and it cannot reject it, for that would be to acknowledge the legality of a Prussian revolution. This party is looking about for some middle couree,but such a one will be difficult to find. This party, as you are aware, declared the noising of the supplies by the Berlin Assembly ille ; but to this declaration it added a proviso that t e King ought to appoint a popular and constitutional ministry, and that the Frankfort parliament would guarantee the riphts and liberties of the Prussian people. The Prusaan people have obeyed the rescript ; the supplies have not been refused ; and the King has not only refused to magnate a new ministry, bat he has made a revolution by dimnissing the representatives of the people, and promulgating an illegal charter. The time has come he the Frankfort parliament to show whether its promises are anything but mere empty words, and whether it has the courage to do its duty. All that has hitherto taken place at Frankfort has been but the prologue; the time for action has arrived; the crisis is at hand, and no one can con jecture what the dirsouement may be. Mc Court. .

The society for the amendment of the law hdd a adjourned meeting yesterday evening, for the perpws d considering whether the report which had been reel d a former meeting on the state of the law with roped I lunacy should be adopted ; Mr. M. D. Hill in the Mir. Mr. STUART, in OlOTOlg the adoption of the report, tar substance of which was given in our notice of the bras meeting, said that the only object of the committee whisk had prepared it was to obtain an amendment of the law, sad not to procure a triumph over any class of individuals. That fore it was quite open to the meeting to reject the repast they thought proper. The Bev. C. LANZ, in seconding the adoption et !In report, cordially approved of the suggestion respecting Wets tions by the clergy. At the same time he did not approve d the mods of remuneration pointed out. He thought that* such points the bishop of the diocese should be awaked Mr. BROWNE moved, as an amendment, that the fortlnt consideration of the report be postponed, until a lugs of persons (the keepers of lunatic asylums and the modiM men connected with them), who considered therasehm matised by certain passages in it, had an opportuait, fending themselves. He could say, on the Dart of :e rea l etors of asylums in the neighbourhood of adas thet were anxious for the closest inspection, and they the charge of making the health of their patients a wont consideration to their own interest.

OP Mr. Culls seconded the amendment, but was still l nien that greater powers of inspection than the law allowed at present should be given en the liicaey commission. Mr. erleant MANNINO said that the object of the rept was net to stigmatise the oonduct of individuals. but to plc mote the amendment of the law. As no one coald deny thst the law required amendment, thera could be no objection to its adoption. Mews. Tater and (Commissioner) FANS severely die ported the amendment.
