HIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIMS Tins DAT—Nosing, 7t iSm...—....Afterseea. 2h. 42m. To.simmow —Moraine. Th. Zs. 31t. 19m. LONDON, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 1. LORD EBRINOTON, a very zealous whig, a very amiable and iotelligent young nobleman, and an in dustrious, painstaking official subordinate, who, for some time past, has been very usefully employed as the parliamentary secretary of the Poor-law Board and as the leading commissioner of sewers, has, it seems, taken in high dudgeon the government reso lution of adopting the recommendations of the official salaries committee so far as to reduce his salary 5001. a year. In cmunquinte, resigning his office of parlia- , mentor, secretary of that board, and, not content with silently miring, he has published the long letter of resignation which he addressed to Lord JOHN RUSSELL, with the view of putting to shame, it is to be supposed, that narrow and staboy economy which holds a parliamentary under secretary of a son-political department of the state well paid by a salary of 1,0001. a year. Boili in this resignation itself, and in this design, Lord EBRINGTON has, we submit, acted very foolishly. To share in the adm"-tration of the public affairs of -- - , mit is • 'lien. To be qualified for this country is a noble ambitia fo be qL.._ high's:Am requires severe training in inferior positions in that administration. The opportunity of becoming a qualified is an advantage enjoyed by very few. That opportunity was offered by Lord Joule RUSSELL to Lord EBBINGTON, because of his family services to the Whip. Lord EBRINGTON, in its en joyment, was gradually rising in public esteem, and gaii.ing public reputation ; he was serving a well paid apprenticeship to government : be had pro•ptcte of stivancement when he had fully established his de partmental capacity; and a public career of import ing, lay open betas him. Then he suddenly and psetiskly throws up his office, because its salary is reduced from 1,5001. to 1,0001. a year, as if he were a person whose services could not be replaced, and who, instead of "being born to good luck," had been exceedingly ill-used by the manner his political chief had treated him. To read his expostulatory epistle to the PREIHER, one would think that this young gentleman had been playing a great part in public affairs, and was a mighty political personage; nut a mere apprentice, learning the political trade of the whig party. He reminds Lord JOHN how invariably he has supported his measurer, u if that had not been the tenure of his official connexion with the government; he tells him how deeply attached he is •0 him; u if Lord loam had not repaid that attachment by putting him in the way of malt ing a political tort une; and he attributes to Lord JOHN the " preservation of public tranquillity in this country, whilst all Europe was in • state of unex ampled convulsion; " as if the entire population of this country were • band of ruffians ready to overturn everything, the instant Lord JOHN'S eye wee off their movements. If this verbiage mean anything, its meaning is that Lord JOHN, being an old whig, and Lnd EIHUNOTON a young whig, Lire JOHN is bound by every rube of whiggery to keep Lied ERRINGTON whenever be has the opportunity, in good politic al employment and in better_politiml pay. Whereas the Get is , that' Lord JOHN RUSSELL very kindly and handsomely opened the door of offioial life to Lord EURINOSON and Lord EBRINGTON his, somewhat ungratefully and unhandsomely to Lord JOHN, closed it. because not indifferent to 50/Ma-year, more or lea." Downing-street, Whitehall, and every department of the state swum, under the Roseau. ministry, with aristocratic whiggery. There you have Lord ISITMOra at the Woods and Forests. Lard Ephts-1 THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 1, 1851 Butte at the Foreign-office, Lord Gaarinua at the Board of Trade, Lord CLARENCE Pao= at the (Ordnance, Lord HowDEN at Madrid, Mr. Fox MAULS at the War-office, Lord CHARLES RUSSELL sitting at the bar of the House of COMMIE as serpent-at-arms; and their was Lord EBRINGTON conifortab!y placed at the poor law board until hr oismiseed himself ; all well paid; all looking forward to promotion and to better pay. Under such circum stances, with such arist‘cratie competition before him —to say nothing of the plebeian pressures behind him —Lord EBRINGTON hap, there can be no dr übt, acted very foolishly in jumping out of the regular routine of public life in this way. For it is, he will now find out, much easier to get off than on to the line that carries you to high office; as Mr. HERMES, Lord MAHON, and a host of others can tell. At all event* there would have been delicacy and propriety and consideration for his order in silence. It is not pleassnt to hear a young whig lord, the heir to a great title, grumbling at the less of 5001 a-year of the public money. Especially, too, whet, in point of fact, there was no thing reasonable to g rumble about. For, when the Pfeil dent of the Poor Law Board was examined by the committee which has given Lord EBRINGTON SO ranch offence, be declined to say that the salary of the parliamentary secretary of the beard was not too high; and its reduction to 1,000/. in the next year's estimates was one of the very few resolutions of the committee on ' which there was entire unanimity. That committee divided on the question of reducing the Lord Privy Seal's salary, of ab ilishing the Mastership of the Mint, of uniting a number of small diplomatic mis gots, of lowering the pay of all the judge!, English, Irish, and Scotch, and of the Macey" in Chancery ; but differing though they did about nearly every thing the. they bud no hesitation in resolving : . _ To at the salary of the secretaries of the Poor-law Board be reduced to 1,0001. per annum, to take eff .ct on the cent vacancy in the case of the perm/neat weretary, dat the neat vote is the race of the parbemtntery aeactary.— C./faction pegn and agreed to. _ _ _ Again, to some of their resolutions Lord Jowl RUSSELL dissents, but to this one he at once ascents. Here, then, we have-1. The president of the board refusing to say 1,5001. is not too high a Betsey, 2. The committee unanimously resolving that it is too high by 5001. a year: and, 3. the First Lord of the Treasury concurring and carrying out that opinion. Yet it is against this consensus of testimony that Lord EBRINGTON raises his back, and absurdly quarrels, with his political bread and butter. With a president of the poor-law board in the House of Commons, there can be no need of having one of its secretaries there too. With a president having a salary of 2,0001. a year, 1,5001. a year each is obviously disproportiona'e remuneration for two secretaries. With two assistant secretaries besides, ands large staff of cite's', a parliamentary secretary cannot De overworked. Especially, seeing that be sides its duties, the ordinary occupations of a mem ber of parliament and the management of the sewers commission, a labour quite enough for any man by itself, did not overwhelm Lord EBRINOTON. " But," complains the ncble lord, "Dad I accepted 1,0001. a year, I should have placed the higher on a lent with lower posts." Nothing of the sort; the lower posts are well paid, because they are perma nently filled ; because beyond them their we ful occu pants do not rise. Bat Lord EBRINOTON'S secretary ship wee the first step in the great ladder of political life; be was fairly placed on its ascent; ard be has Jumped down because of a redaction of salary. Teat is the simple fact. The young public man who measures his advarce meat by the pay it brings him can have no very worthy ambition • his superiors can have small faith in him ; his inferiors little respect for Dim. Lord EBRINOTON might have left greediness to old Mr. GOULBUILV, who picked up 1,0004 a yen the other day out of Mother Church, and then taken a lesson out of Lord ASHLEY'S book : for there is that noble lord working away like a galley slave at Owydyr House without any salary from the country. Lord EBRINGTON well winning a fair reputation: and he has injured it. THE less the press puts itself forward in its own character, and on its own behoof, the better. It is powerful end respected when pleading for others, when awakening the echo of popular sentiment, or making itse:f the mouthpiece of popular desires. Bat like many other icatrumentr, which the people use and honour in using, they respect it but little for itself. Ti e general idea is, that pecuniarily it is right well off, wielding a power which ought to satisfy it, and holding a position more than its due. In casting up arceunts with it, therefore, or in listen 'Mg to its complaiiits, the publics is often a hard and a supercilious master. Some sentimental politiciars have, indeed, at time, taken it into their heads that the press was unfairly treated. The official whigs, when they succeeded in emancipating themselves somewhat from the tutelage of the aristocracy, and when the press helped them in the struggle w-r. , inclined to be grateful. But slue then there has been a re:apee, and the feeling is that what was done to popularise the press fell far short of general expectation. Whil,t the old tory party retitle' its grudges against those upstart politicises who infringe upon that m^nopoly of statesmanlike discussion which they consider the apanage of birth, the whig party, semi -conservative, do not di , cern any advantage to the nation or ito themselves in ridding the press of its fiscal fetters. We have, therefore, few hopes of any good to come from agitation or combination smonget newspapers. They may, indeed, convey informa tion to the Cu iNCELLOR of the Exederreen, but it is only as representing great commercial or gnat po pular ieteresta, that they are likely to command the right hen. gentlrmau'e attention. Fur similar reasons we cannot but think " taxes on knowledge" to be an ill chcscn tame; knowledge, especially of the political kind, is not anything calculated to enlist the (flats or enthusiasm of our legislators. Those who invented it quite forgot how strong were the vested rights of ignorance, and how much of all that hereditary polile , ans seek to conserve, is built upon the negation of knowledge. In coming for ward, therefore, for relief, we ought prudently to sink the knowledge and to veil the newspaper, if we are to obtain any boon from the dominant majority. It were easy to state the cause of paper,. and to represent the injustice of taxing that great tnterme ' diary for the communication of wants, and affections, and ideas. To say that a nation which has sacrificed millions for the abolition of the cost of postage, so as 1,, to give to sli men a communication with each other r on matters that mutually concern them—to say • that the same government taxes heavily the most • useful, the most moral, the moat civilising, the most endearing and improving mode of communication between mind and mind—literature—is an absurdity t and a contradiction past belief. Books, however, ass sentimental wants, and news. papers are a luxury. Book-makers and booksellers form co important and wide-spread interest, com a menial or electoral. They return no member, and commend no votes. Amidst the struggles of party, therefore, they are sure to be overlooked ; and a tax that affects the landed interest or weighs upon the civic one, or intt rferes with the trade of oar ports and the seats of manufactures—them are pot foremost for repeal. And it is only in the came of a large deficit, that knowledge or newspaper taxes are flung in for repeal ea mere secondary sacrifloes—it is only then that we have the least chance of being rid of them. What we ought to have to deal with then, should not be a surplus of a couple of millions, to be given inconsiderately to that class or interest which isms: clamorous, bat such a surplus as a large plan of eco ncmy would create, and which ought not to be frit tered away by any sensible diminution in the revenue of direct taxation. The window tax must, of course, be got rid of. Bata fair re-distribution of the in come tax, accompanied by a similar re-adjustment of land tax and house tax, ought to leave the produce of direct taxation the same. Then, indeed, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCITE ' QUER might lower all those customs duties, the amount of which increased consumption would make up, and sweep away those beggarly and disgraceful taxes upon literature and upon journals and upon adver tisemen•e, which ought to be beneath the very dignity of an opulent and enlightened society like that of England to impose upon what are, on the whole, the mast struggling and ill-requited though most useful interests and profeweone. If, however, the times are such that we can hope for no large measures of economy, no mond and thorough adjustment of direct taxatirs; if Sir CRADLE/ WOOD shrinks freer; the task of building a fleancial scheme, and confine. Lis efforts to a mere patching of the old one, there is still room for doing away with a portion of those unjust taxes. The paper duties might at least be reduced one-half, the advertisement duty two-thirds, in the one case with little, in the latter with no lose at all, to the revenue. The stamp duty on newspapers should also be re• pealed. But there is no use in deceiving the public in this respect. The repeal of the sta.np duty would no doubt be accompanied by the impas:tion of an equivalent postage on newspapers: so that the country reader, who receives the journal by post, would not be benefited by the diminu tion of price. Newspapers would cost less to the inhabitants of London only and of those towns to which they are sent independent of the post-office. And in these towns, u in the metropolis, the facili ties of clubbing for newspapers and obtaining a reidy access to them is so great, that a penny more or a penny less is not felt by the majority of readers. A diminution of the advertisement duty to sixpence would, however, be an immense boon to the public. The mechsnic, the domestic, the farmer, the people in fine, would have the facility of making known their wants, and of having them supplied. And the mul titude of foreigners who are about to crowd here foe purposes of corioeity, blended with commercial specu lation, cou'd make known to the British public their requirements and their advantages, instead of being frightened into silence, as they would by the main tenarce of the present duty ; and being compelle I to return home, as bootless and as voiceless as they came. Tun decision of the French commission against any modification of the currency, with reference to the double standard of gold and silver, seems to have been received in this country with general satisfaction. When we consider the premises on which they were required to deliberate, any other determinatient c.uld not reasonably have been expected; but as our neigh bours, habituated to the atmosphere of revolution, are somewhat bald and reckless in their legislation, and not a little Quixotic in their fundamental notions of government, there existed, previously to this wise and judicious decision, some apprehension of their designs. And in advocating a change they would not have been unsupported by some economists of weight and ability, who see in the negative con clusions of the commission, on this point, a step , that must prove eventually prejudicial to the country, and in the delay of meeting the question boldly ex treme peril to the interests of the community. So WI from this being true or just, it appears to us, the arose we consider it, that the appointment of the ocesinia lion at that particular juncture was, to say the least of it, premature ; and it is quite possible, when we perceive the many false notions that prevail, that some of the mischief alluded to—the depreciation of gold and the fall of the exchange—may be attributed to this cause, by exciting unnecessary fears. We know that vague apprehensions have a greater influence over the generality of men than real events; and when men in high places lend themselves to perpetuate those fears, it is not surprising if the whole comma city should be affected by the supposed shadow of a corning evil. There is abstractedly no great harm in making inquiry on any subject—a waste of time is I often the chief sacrifice made—but when a govern ment, excited by speculative ideas in its own body, ors stirred to action by popular clamour, orj seduced by the wild notions of mere closet-politicians, creates a commission, then every one wooled( a the cause must be grave and urgent. In France this seems a simple, every day affair ; the unstable nature of the govern ment renders it ea; unsettled opinions afford it a kind of justification; whereas, with us the appointment of a commission is a more solemn matter, not to be looked for except as the hard-earned result of irrefra gable facts and repeated argument. On ques tions affecting the currency, as a great commer cial nation, we are almost morbidly sensitive. I We view change with suspicion, if not abhorrence. IWe decry every opinion and argument that disturb existing relations; and prefer enduring present evils than launch ourselves on the wide sea, hazardous and conflicting, which the subtle question of the currency opens up. It is not because we understand the sub ject better than our neighbours, or that we proceed on more scientific principles; but we view everything with a practical eye; we deal with facts as they exist, or effect us; we circumscribe our reasoning within immediate and tangible influences, and rarely allow ourselves the luxury of speculation. While other nations are agitated by prospective occurrences, the tide of which is yet distant, if ever to be felt at all, we calmly fold our arms in phlegmatic indifference, and think it time enough to act and reason when the prophecy is realized. Some French writers on the currency, otherwise men of talent acd discrimination, having very clear and accurate ideas on the nature and proper functions of money, seem to overlook the fact that in the revo lution in monetary affairs, which they contemplate as a probable event, their silver currency would suffer a more severe ordeal than their gold standard. The proportion of silver coin in Franco is perhaps ten to twelve times greater than that of gold; and a con siderable change of relative values would equally affect bith nvtale. While gold fell in the market value, etch holder of a 20 franc piece would lose by the depreciation, that is, the coin would command fewer commodities; but, on the other hand, if silver bullion were to rise much above the rate at which the francs are made, the silver currency, it appears to us, would rise in the same proportion. tor, let it be borne in mind, as a French writer ob serves, that a franc is not an ideal thing, or possessing only on ?view de convention : it is a piece of metal or merchandise whose value is determined by analo gous laws to those which determine the value of iron or copper. It is a disc of silver of a certain weight, absolutely and rigorously fixed by law, composed ofl so many grains of pure silver and so many grains of copper. It is not, therefore, a representative sign, like the convention most: of Germany ; but, while it serves as a measure of value, it also possesses a mar ketable value or price independently of its functions as a medium of exchange. It may be considered merchandise, stamped by public authority, as a gua rantee of its weight and quality. It has been asserted, on questionable grounds, that the French double standard of gold and silver was founded on the fallacious belief that there was something fixed acd determinate in the relation of the two metals; and that they would re main always interchangeable one with another in the same proportions—a 20 franc gold piece for 20 silver francs; and 20 silver francs for a gold piece. This fallacious ides, maintained by financiers, when ignorance prevailed universally of the laws which regulate the relative values of the precious metals, is one reason alleged for a change in the gold currency of France; but it is obvious that the standard of value, in whichever metal, must have originally been determined in relation to the proportions of the two metals, as in some measure determining the rate at which the coins should be made. Permanence of value is what constitutes the precious metals standards of value. If they fluctuated in price as much as other things, they would become useless for that purpose. They have been chosen as measures of value not bemuse they are beyond fluctuations in price, or that human laws, as is sometimes thought, can con trol them, regulate them, and fix their value—but because they are of all commodities the least variable. That is all that human sagacity and foresight can command. Nothing can, therefore, be mare certain than that a depreciation of gold and an appreciation of silver would follow a supply of gold beyond the wants of mankind. And upon this principle may be explained the monetary affairs recently witnessed in France, though not exactly arising from a super abundant supply of gold. Gold has sot gone to France, it appears, because it commanded there, seen article of merchandise, so much higher& priceas to make the simple transaction of exchange a profitable one. The transaction is more circuitous and complicated ; and it is singular in this, that while our sovereigns are at a considerable discount, as foreign coin, bringing therefore a low price, yet the state of matters i s such u to cause them to be exported in large quantities. The reasons of this anomaly may be thus explained. The law of France constitutes both gold and silver standards of value, and legal tenders to any amount ; the sane law decrees that a 20 franc gold piece is ofl the game exchangeable value as 20 laver frame, and vice eeria. Bat it is manifon, if gold bullion be depreciated in relation to silver, it will be more pro fitable to pay in film, or in gold pieces tepcseeating silver coin. The price of silver has risen in France as elsewhere ; and gold has fallen. Bat the law in spite of this circumstance, commands filet 20 francs in silver should be exchanged for one 20 franc gold piece ; that 1,000 gold pieces, it paid away, repre-ent the equivalent of 20,000 francs. Hence our sovereigns, which are actually at l a discount, ea will be the cue with alltireign coin or bullion, are converted at the Mint into gold pieces, and these gold pieces immediately command the value of silver in francs ; and if silver be at a premium of 3 per cent., that profit will be gained, less any brueage for the coinage. If this version be correct, as we be lieve it to be, we may reasonably question the power of the Bark of England to affect the exchange, as respects France, by simply raising the rate of die °cunt. It is an extraordinary case, and cannot, bat in ignorance, be met by ordinary measures. As soon might we expect the rate of discount to bring down the market price of silver, whose appreciation has arisen from causes quite different from the plentiful ness or scarcity of money. Whether we should congratulate ourselves on the superiority of our own currency over that of France, we cannot pretend to say ; but there is this marked difference between the two, that while the French possess two standards, so called, we have but one—our silver currency, though coined of a particular stand ard, in quality, partaking of the nature of valeur de concenti n, carrying on it a seignorage of 10 per cent. when silver is worth be. an ounce. At the present time the silver coins of France may be considered merchandise, liable to be melted down or exported; but silver bullion must rise above 6s. 6d. an ounce before our token coinage could be effected by external causes. So long, therefore, shall our sovereign be convertible into 20 shillings, whether the price of gold depreciate or not; and this depreciation might go on so insensibly as not to be recognised by the great body of the community. Each sovereign would as heretofore interchange for 205., and every holder would imagine be had, 'n hie pocket the same value; but then it is certain the sovereign would command less value in relation to other things. Light sove reigns afford a cue of depreciation, not the sume bat analogous to the effect of a fall in the price of gold. The holder suffers the loss ; and so would it be in the other case contemplated. The crown, in consideration of the heavy seignorage on silver coin, guarantees an exchange of new coin for old, piece for piece, not weight for weight ; but in respect of the standard of value, the crown guarantees nut! ing, assumes no re sponsibility beyond the validity of the coin; and the public, therefore, as individuals would lose indi vidually by any deprecation of the gold coin. Silver is the coinage of the QUIEN ; gold of the public. The apparent effect of a fall in the price of gold to England would be this : an ounce of gold would still be coined at the rate of 775. 100. an ounce ; i. e. a certain weight of gold bullion would be converted into so many piece. as now; bat these gold pieces would be to the holder of less value than before, be cause they would command less value in relation to silver and all other things. Each holder so far suffering a loss, it follows that the country as a whole would suffer the whole loss between the value of the currency now, as estimated, and the lesser value hereafter. It has been calculated, how near to the truth we cannot aver, that prices rose above 400 per cent. after the discovery of America, in consequence of the fall in the value of the precious metals; and from this we may judge of the natural law how far the abundance or scarcity of gold and silver has a direct and imme diate influence, as measures of value, on the price of all commodities. SPAIN. MADRID, JAN. 2.6. Rumours prevail of disagreement between the ministers, but upon what ground uncertain. Gen. Nlazarredo hes resigned the post of CApt.-General of Seville. The Minister of Foreign Affairs has not thought proper to answer the interpellation of M. Madcz as to the Concordat. The government and the committee on the bill on the press intend to convoke a general conference of the directors of all the political journals of Madrid, in order to hear their opinions on the said measure. It is understood that the bill to be brought in for the settlement of the foreign debt will be entirely founded on the basis of that proposed by M. Beltrsn de Lie, and will, consequently, approach very closely to the propositions made by the English committee of Spanish bondholders. PORTUGAL. Dates from Lisbon of the 22nd state that the late monetary crisis has led to a ministerial scheme for the intimate of the export duty from 100 rein to 1,000 reit, per mare on silver ore and bare. The price of sovereigns will remain at 4,500 reis. Other foreign gold coke will be charged into Portu guese gold. This law has been submitted to the approval of the Cortes. ITALY. By a decree of the 14th, the Grand Duke of Tus cany has authorised Count Giovanni Pieri, Marquis Bichi Haspoli, Signor Policarpo Bandini, and other capitalists of Siena, to survey a railway line leading from that town to the Pontifical frontier between Citta della Pieve and the Trasimene lake, according to the project of the late engineer Pianigiana. The projectors are bound to deliver their plans to the I minister of Public NVorks w.thin a year from the date of the decree. The Senate of Turin, in its sitting of the 25th, passed the remaining article. of the bill on the new house-tax, by a majority of 47 votes oat of 57. In the same sitting the Minister of Foreign Affairs pre sented the bills on the two treaties with France already passed by the Chamber of Deputies. The *Lister of Orece and Justice presented the bill im posing a tax upon corporations and mortmain pro- perty, also adopted by the deputise. In the Chamber of Deputies Signor Dvspine presented his report on the budget. The provisional collection of taxes, until the approval of the budget, was afterwards voted by • majority of 93 votes to 43. A letter from Turin, of January 26, says : The Chamber of Deputb s has voted the authorisation for the government to collect the taxes until the definitive adop tion of the budget. Our Roman correspondent, writing on the 21th of January, states that the ahem of French politics at Rome had been so great, that rumours had been cur rent of a treat flight of his Holiness.

FRANCE. PARIS, TIIMUIDAT Eventrio. The responsibility imposed upon tue President by the constitution is furnishing to him tie chief means of weeping from the subaltern position in which the same constitution has placed him with regard to the Assembly. In Act, the President enjoys at this mo- ment a stretch of power unknown to the monarchy, because he is released from several cheeks peculiar to monarchic institutions. Under the mcziarchy, the head of the state, however personal Lie policy might be, had to coLsult the interests of his dynasty, which were not always identical with his own. He had to govern by the rule of a constitution accepted as per manent. He had to consult a peerage, which could no more be got rid of than the constitution and dynasty. Again, the majo rity of the Chamber of Deputies dictated the policy of the government, set up ministers, and de posed them by a vote of censure. Louis Napoleon is restrained at this moment by none of the checks enuoierwed. He is his own dynasty. 11.. is not thwarted by a peerage. The Assembly, to be sure, is no trifle to deal with; but the great notabilities of the Chamber having thought proper to pass under the new system into a state of eclipse, Louis Napoleon has in some measure, esesped the sort of tutelage which the monarchy was obligtd to acciipt. Soon be removed the leaders of the old opposition, who were thrust upon him by the nature of things, and sent them to join the Burgraves. Generals N..wmay‘r and Changarnier presented formidable cbs:nclis; they have been replaced by men devoted to his person. Lastly, he has succeeded in evading the obligation of firming a ministry from the parliamentary majority. Tne definitive cabinet promised by the explanations of M. de Royer on the 27th Jan. will be appointed with a view to the revision of the constitution. The sittirg of the Assembly to-day was presided over by M. Darn. The benches prtsented but a thin sprinkling of representatives. The proposition of General Fabvier fur the forma tion of a consultation and permanent council of War was rejected. The postal convention between France and Sardinia was adopted on the third read- ing. M. Julien has received a mission from the Dutch government to negotiate with France fur the con nexion of the Luxembourg Railway with the line of Strasburg by a branch from Metz. PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING. The name of Odilon Barrot is still mentioned as the pivot on which the new ministry is to turn. The notation Bill, according to reports which pre vailed this evening in the Assembly, would be post poned. The calm which has reigned in the Assembly siaoe the notable failure of tho interpellatioes of M. Hovyn- Traachere, was interrupted yesterday by a stormy debate, raised upon that old and knotty question, the rights of labour. The Constituent Assembly ordered, on the 2511 May, 1848, that a great inquiry upon the question of agricultural and industrial labour should be opened throughout the length and breadth of France. A list of 29 questions was addressed to each of the justices of the peace of the 2.817 cantons of France ; and in each canton a committee, composed of an equal number of workmen and masters, was formed to draw up answers to the questions pro posed by the committee of inquiry. More than 2,000 can tons sent in their reports. A legislative committee, having been appointed to present an analysis of these numerous documents to the Anembly, hu jut reported, by the organ of tl. Lefebre- Darufle, that the fruits of this inquiry pur sued throughout the whole territory of the repub lic for the space of three years are worth nothing, arid the committee has nothing better to propose than to bury the 2,000 reports of the French cantons in the archives of the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce. This singularly impotent con clusion called out yesterday from the ranks of the Mountain a genuine champion of the work ing cla.sts, himself a son of toil, a mason, named Nadaud, representative for the departmatt of Creuze. The tone of conviction which rings out clear from the breast of an orator who has lived among the facts to which he bears witness, won for M. Nadnud, in spite of much interruption, more atten tion on the whole than would have been accorded to the most eloquent of his party. la France, he said, there were 18 or 20 millions of w irkmen, the pittance of whose labour sufficed not for the support of their families, and in the face of this great fact they were told at the end of au inquiry of three 3 ears, that nothing could be done for the alleviation of their lot. To conceive the misery which weighed on the working class, he would ask them to ponder on the statement of M. Bliinqui, that out ot 21,000 poor children born in Lille, only 1,000 reached the age of adults. The report of M. Letebre-Darutle was the brother of that of M. Thiere' on public assistance, and of M. Moutalembert on the observance of Sunday. It proved the impotence of the legislative majority to devise the least remedy for the greeted: social evils. The revolution was taxed with having bred the distress of the working classes. This was an inversion of the truth. During thirty-five years all the governments which had succeeded one another in France had set up the example of gross scandals aid deep immo rality. (Left " Stock, obbing!" Right: " Luxem bourg!" " Hotel de Ville !") If they were to set one half of France to coerce the other halt, they would not maintain the existing order of things. Let them look out of that hall into the forges, the factories, the farms, the mines, where their brother men were expending their strength to buoy them up in affluence before they earned for themselves what was strictly neces sary for existence. And, after sifting all France with their commission ot inquiry, M. Letebre-Darntle had nothing better to propsethan cothrow therecordsof the grievancesof labour into thecatacombs of the ministry. But what consoled the working dames for the insults —(great noise) —which had been systematically heaped on them since the revolution ot February by the organs of reaction in the press and the tribune, was the spread of social elcc:rints which characterised our epoch, and the hopes of proximate emancipation. The idea of an inquiry on the subject of labour had been started under the monarchy, but owed its reali sation to the revolution. Tne President of the Chamber of Deputies, M. hauzet, bad said in 1844, that the Chamber was not there to provide workmen with work, and not a single protest had been rained against this assertion from the benches of the Right. A deputy of the Left, Id. Ledru Rollin, had then pro cured the signatures of 400,000 workmen to a petition for instituting an inquiry into the state of the work. ing classes. He supported this petition in the tribune, and although there was at that time an immense number of workmen at Paris thrown out of employ, no attention whatever had been paid to it. Thus the government of July had lost the hearts of the workmen ; and when it fell not a workman's arm was lifted in its support. When the Constituent met, Louis lilano had proposed a ministry of work, but this idea bad been rejected. The parliamentary ma jority, with all the resources at their command, with all the offices in the state filled with their men, had done nothing for the interests of labour , and if they remained in office ten years longer they would still turn in the same barren cir cle of worn-out expedients. The liberty of work was inscribed in 4 the 13th article of the constitution; but this was a mockery so long as the government lent to the masters the support of the public force, when the right of coalition was judged as a crime, and the workman who freely debated the conditions of his salary was brought before th,. tribunals. The civil code, that fortress of the bourgeoisie, was as unjust as the institutions of the middle ages; and the parvenus of oar day, the stockjobbers and exchangers, were much lea humane and charitable than the nobles of the old time. M. Niched then reviewed the laws passed 1; - ; the Legislative Assembly on unwholesome lodgings, relations between muter, and work men, caisses de Meade, and proved that none of them more than scratched the surface of the question. He claimed the principles of freedom of association, which he thought could alone enable workmen to compete with machinery. He quoted a succession of economical writer, from the ranks of conservatism, who dwelt upon the social cancer of pauperism and its political danger. lie said that the revolted= of February had been a social and not a political revolution. He told the =pupate of the opposite benches that they were all inroad from the tors etas parvenue of the revolution of 1789, who, after leading the people through three successive revolutions, and marched it for personal ambition over all the battle-fields of Bosom treated the poor math
