TO OUR A DOUBLE NUMBER of the EXPRESS will be palaliehed as anal on SATURDAY NEXT. Ir it be tree that in the present House of Com. mons the Liberal Party of all shades muster no fewer than 380 votes, the duties and responsibilities of that party arc proportionably augmented. No isabt an Opposition numbering, as it boasts, 280 members, is &body quite capable of fulfilling all those constitutional functions which our parlisnwatary . . . system so properly assigns to a minority. But with a majority of 120, the Liberal Party have a field of pnblie usefulness opened up such u they have not enjoyed since the days of the first Reformed Perli► meat. The Quarterly Retina makes it a matter of 'reproach to the Liberal Party that they never volun tarily surrender office. There have no doubt been time when the liberal majority in the House of Commons boa been too small, fluctuating, and un certain to support a thoroughly liberal policy, and when the force of the Conservative minority has coerced the policy and tempered the meaaares of the Ltlarral Government. At such times it might p ro- bably have been a wise course on the part of the Liberal leaders to have been more prompt in ex changing the responsibilities of office for the duties of opposition. Those times are past. Whatever may be the exact or accurate figures which constitute the ma- laity, this is certain, that the Liberal Party is in so largely predominant in the new House of Com mons as to be master of its own fortunes, if it only have the courage to fulfil its mission. In the last House of Commons, Lord PALMERSTON was, to a considerable extent, the Autocrat of a party which possessed a bare majority. In the new House of Commons, however, it will be the fault of the Liberal Party itself if the present or any future Ministers are not reduced to the much more useful position of being the leaders only of the party, not its masters. If the majority now assuming the name and position of Liberal be only, as we have no dis position to doubt, sincerely and earnestly what it professes to be, the policy of any Government depending on it for support and maintenance in power must in all essentials be thoroughly liberal also—and not in words only, but in measures, in action, and in the distribution of patronage. During the recent elections there was a tendency on the part of the Ministers of the Crown, and of their imme diate followers, to make a distinction between real, uncompromising Liberalism, and what they were pleased to call Progressive Improvement. By pro gressive improvement was obviously meant a slow, halting, gradual, unconnected aeries of measures, all vary useful and important in their own separate spheres, but involving the recognition of no leading and important principles, rising to no commanding elevation, affect in g only isolated and distinct interests, and leaving untouched the advance of the popular tame and the completion of those larger questions in which the heart and soul of the nation are interested. On this system the duties of the Cabinet are reduced to the preparation and advancement of mere departmental contributions towards parlia mentary business, instead of being expanded to their true dimensions of laying before Parliament and the nation a solid and comprehensive policy. A powerful Liberal majority ought to require all this, and something much more besides. It will be entirely its own faialt if it do not secure more. But then to do so it must threw fear away. It must have faith in its own great principles, pluck up its courage, think of some thing beyond keeping any set of men in place, and never for a moment submit to the mastery of any individual as an inevitable Minister. If the Liberal party do that, if it only can persuade itself of its own inherent strength and force, it will occupy a position in the new Parliament that will redound to its own honour and credit, and restore vigour and efficiency to the Government of the country, no mat ter in whose hands it may be. Spirit and independence on the pert of Liberals are all the more necessary, for as yet we have no evidence that the Cabinet has adopted a more digni fied and advanced policy in domestic affairs. The speech which the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER made the other day at the Herefordshire dinner gave forth uncertain sounds, and if it reflect the recent deliberations in Council of himself and his colleagues they hare hardly yet risen above the dull level of progressive improvement. The choice, too, of Lord HAIRY VANE to move the election of Mr. livetru DIOLHION to the chair of the House of Commons, Is die sevens of encouraging. For not only did Lord HAIRE not sympathise with the perdar piety in this country during the Rumba warmest only was he an apologist of these acts of aggren. non and ambition against which all England rose ; but it cannot be forgotten that he it Ina who led that movement before which Lad lons RensELL was unwillingly caw pelted to yield, and withdraw the Reform Bill which he introduced. Estimable and influential and highly connected as Lord HARRY VANE may be, thaw AM not qualifications which ought to distinguish on is important an occasion the organ and mouthpiece of the great Liberal party in the House of Common At all events, they convey warnings that ought net to be neglected, and suggest, not indeed any with drawal of confidence from the Government, but the tEREtiSC of some self reliance and independence on the part of Liberals. There is one small test which Liberals are well entitled to put the Government to without lipy THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL 30, 1857. delay. The City of London has again returned Baron ROTUSCHTLD to the Ileum of Commons, and the Baron has voluntarily entered into an engagement to resign his seat Wile• i diately the Legislature refuses to allow him lb represent that constituency. This, therefore, at the beginning of a new Parliament, is a question which presses for the earliest settlement. By far the simplest mode of reaching the end desired would, no doubt, be for the House, by its own inherent autho rity, to vote the omissi;in of those words appended to the oath which are not part of its substance, and which were neve-: intended to exclude members of the Jewish persuasion. It is to be hoped that some independent Liberal will take, in the new House, the opinion of that assembly as to this ;mode of settling once and for ever the question ; but should that course not be adopted, or, being adopted, not be successful, the Liberal party has a right to expect that the Government will not lam a single day in either itself introducing a measure for the relief of the Jews from an accidental disability,or, better still, afford to Lord JOHN RUSSELL an opportunity of doing so. We say better still, because that is a sub ject which appropriately belongs to Lord JOHN, and upon which the Government could gracefully and use fully seek his assistance. But no matter what the form or who the mover, the Liberal party have a right to expect and, if necessary, to insist, that the full force and strength of the Government shall be at once and seriously given to the Jew question. It is a subject that will place the party in the hall career of program, that will unite it on a subject with which its chief past glories are inseparably associated, and that will identify both the Government and the party with greater and higher principles than those meant to be conveyed under the sham cry of Pro greseive Improvement The Great Eastern Steamer, which is fitted to sececoreadate 4,000 pmenigere ; or, if employed in tho trans poet of troops, to cony 10,000 one, will be randy !or lanadt ing early in August ant, sod side to take her that trail trip to America and beck about the middle of that monk.

DEATH OF HER ROYAL HIGHNESS THE DUCHESS OF GLOUCESTER. (THIS DAY.) We deeply regret to announce that Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester expired a few minutes after 6 o'clock this (Thursday) morning, at Gloucester House, Piccadilly. The following was issued shortly after the melan choly event bad taken place : Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester expired, without suffering, at a quarter after five o'clock this morning. April 30, 1837." " FRANCIS HAWKINS. " EDWARD H. HILLS. Her late Royal Highness was the fourth daughter of George 111., and, consequently, aunt to her pre sent most gracious Majesty. Her Royal Highness was born on the 26th of April, 1778, and was there fore eighty-one years old at the time of her death. On the 22nd of July, 1818, she was married to her cousin, Prime William Frederick, second Duke of Olonoester, who died 30th November, 1834. Her Royal Highness was Ranger and Keeper of Rich mond New Park. Every day daring her late illness some among the royal family visited the late duchess at Gloumster Howse. The duchess was the last survivor of the numerous children of George 111. The Duke of Cambridge arrived at Gloucester House at half-put ten o'clock yesterday forenoon. At one o'clock, the Ditcher of Kent paid the Duchess of Gloucester a visit. The Duke of Cambridge was also with her royal highness at the same time. The Duchess of Kent remained about three-quarters of an hour. In the afternoon the Princess Royal and the Princess Alice, attended by the Marchioness of Ely, visited their illustrious relative. Prince Albert, accompanied by the Prince of Wales, and attended by Captain Du Plat, arrived at Gloucester House, later in the afternoon, to learn the state of the Royal Duchess. Shortly after eight o'clock her Majesty's Lord _ . . Chamberlain arrived at Gloucester lioue, when orders were issued for the necessary arrangements for her Royal Highness's funersL This, it is pre sumed, will take place in the royal mausoleum in St. George's Chapel, at Windsor Castle. In accordanee with the desire of the illustrious deceased, the funeral proceedings will be conducted in a comparatively private manner. The remains of the late duchess will be plaited by the side of his late royal highness the Duke of Gloucester. The bells of the numerous churches in the metro polis tolled, and at the royal churches the bells rang mused peals. The tradesmen at the West-end closed their shops oat of respect to the memory of her late Royal Highness. At a meeting of the Manehester Town Council yesterday, It was resolved to present an address to his Royal Highness Prince Albert "on the occasion of his opening the Gnat Pahibitica of Art Treasures on Tuesday next." It is presumed, however, that the lamented death of the Duchess of Gloucester will deprive the Exhibition of the honour of his Royal ilighnem's presidency.

She rods heavily, and the sea occasionally broke completely over her. Her main and arisen meats were cut away. The fury of the dorm inereesed, and raged during the whole of the day, rendering vain every effort at assistance, and engulfing • Margate lugger that attempted it. The ship parted from her anchors at midnight, and, • prey to the tempest, drove, amid darkness, hail, sleet, and snow, upon the rocks beneath the eliff. Her crew, twenty three in number, lashed themselves to the rigging of the only remaining meat, struggled through the horrors of the night, and were discovered from the beach at early dawn. Gallant and humane exertions were at once made to mem them from their desperate condition. One lifeboat, manned by ten brave men, pulled through •boiling surf at imminent peril, reached the wreck, and returned to shore with seven of the sufferers. A second lifeboat, emulating the daring ad venture, brought fourteen others safely to land, sad finally, though long thwarted by their determination to perish tether than to kayo the Naethers Belle, the same means redeemed the captain and the pilot from impending death.

THE PRINCIPALITIES. Letters from Constantinople of April 20, state that the reason for the postponement of the elections in the Roumanian provinces is that tho commis sioners assembled at Bucharest found it very difficult to construe the firman convoking the divans ad hoe. They had referred to the Porte for explanations touching several obscure point.. It has been decided at Constantinople that the representatives of the powers parties to the Treaty of Paris, who had taken part in drawing up the firman, should meet again to revise the articles upon which questions had been raised. One of the main difficulties relates to the domicile of the Boyards, and another concerns the mode of taking the votes of the clergy. The correspondence, however, does not prognosticate a longer adjournment than to the end of May, instead of to Juno 10, as has been stated. PERSIA.

The Gazette de France condemns the contemplated attack on China in these terms: The first origin of this war is the conquest made by Eng land of important positions in the celestial empire during the &opts produced by the refund of the Emperor to allow his subjects to be poloomod by the opium sold by the merchants of arida India. To preserve these positions and satend them in order to favour the sole of BMA merchandise Maio object of the puma war. We do not deny that the interest of our neighbours calls for this war, but are justice and right on their side ? The love of conquest indulp d in by monarchs Mu, and with rearm; been severely condemned. It has been smarted that the ambition of potentates has proved a source of evil to humanity ; that omjust aggremions, invasions of territory, have introduced into eoclety contempt of right and of morality—ham perpetuated war and justified revolutions. All this is true ; but in this cam kings are not sinning againat humanity, the guilt lks with mer chants; it is nut the pride of domination that renews deeds of barbarism, but the avidity of speculation. The political resofts of this war will doubtless be very pest for our neighbours, who will acquire fresh markets in this important centre of consiunption. Nevertheless, one cannot wage war without teaching its secrets to the enemy; it has been already remarked that the Chinese are lee. Innocent of the art of murder than in 1842. When their education shall . have been completed by the battles which will abortly be fought, it may happen that a nation of 300 million inha bitants may wish to exercise some influence fin as destinies of Europe, and it is not imposeible that ore grandsons may have cause to regret our stirring up this haws ant-hill, which has kept itself isolated during twenty mutinies. We did not gain much by seeking the Russians in Maioner, the Austrians In Vienna, and the Prussians in Berlin. What can Europeans gsin by seeking the Chinese In Cantos sad Pekin? This question merits some reflection. UNITED STATES. (T ELECTRIC 1, THVIIIDDAT. The steamship Ariel, of the Vanderbilt line, has arrived from New York, with one day's later intel ligence.

The resolution was carried by acclamation. Professor TheitoL moved the second resolution That as the British State and nation hue, through its wide and in timate relations with other Stoles, the profoundest interest in the preservation of peace, it behoves it, with every earnest near and energy, to endeavour by its moral influence, through its diplomacy, or by whatever mean, may seem just and expedient, and which promise to be efficient on the oc casion, to Abele the cessation of existing interferences, and to prevent all future aggressions of this description.'

THE LATE GENERAL GUTON.—Within the 1a week, the name of the brave General Guyon, born in the pariah of Wakot, Bath, has been recorded on the monumen ta obelisk, erected by the inhabit/cuts of this city, in ths Lyncombe Cemetery, to the memory of their fellow citizens who fell in the emotes. The followmer is a copy of the On acription to the memory of General Guyon Kam. GENERAL RICHARD DEEM:BRE GUTON. ()Ryes vas • noble soldier, a true Palsdin, and Ms deeds on the battle Held bring home to our minds the days of chivalry. His whole career in life, though brief—fur he died alter a few bourn of intense suffering at the early age of forty two—was marked by great and uncommon evenn, and saddened by cruel adversity. Feared and bated by the despots of Austria and Russia for the 'maims which be rendered to the cause of liberty, he was especial de nounced by the governments of those countries, nil ployed ail their great and united influence to crush his mili tary progress, and to bring him into disfavour with Tur key, the country which be was nerving, and whore sic, he may be said to have formed, organised, and led into battle. General Guyon was not only the " bravest of the brave," but a skilful and judicious commander. He pre dicted the fall of Kars montha before shot fortrees fill into the bands of the Russians, and pointed out the way to save it, but his suggestions received no attention, and to this hour his eervieeo hero not been acknowledged by the English government, though Sir William Williams, Colonel Lake, and Dr. Sandwith have been loaded with honours. To the Listing honour of the Emperor of the French, who hod no fear of Austria or Buda before his eyes, he beheld with admiration the military talents of Guyon. and recognised the services which he had ratdered to the Turkish government when its army stood in need d a European general. The Eilicieror, from his private purse, intends to educate General Guyon's sons for military ser vice. Lord Palmeroton spoke materensly in the House of Commons of Guyon's operntious in Asia. Let no hop his will not forget to extend his sympathy to the soldiers widow, the accomplished Countess Guyon, whose destiny it is to return to her native country—Hungary—a Epter, but, we hope, not friendless woman. Those of our readers who may feel interested in Genera Guyon's military career, we refer to "Mr. Runcorn's campaign with the Turks is Asia," and to Mr. Arthur Kinglnke's interesting narrative ; of the general's exploits in Itungaty. The Inner gentleman . has been the earnest and disinterested advocate of this lamented hero's claims on public sympathy, and it would bo difficult to speak too highly of bin energetic and able . efforts in this eame.—Bulti Chrowerlp. LITERARY ItOCUERY OF THE IiOYAL BETTIS'S BANE.—AII who have watched the inveatigntions in the affairs of this bank will remember a passage quoted from Ma of its reports, in which it was spoken of an a pretty memos as a rivet to which the branch banks in the metn.polis were new villa, &c. We thought we bad seen the sentence be fore, and the other evening, turning over " AIDALUDD "-- pubhahed forty yearn ago—hem we came upon it word for word.
