Na........... &barons. 41.. , fon. Twarsanr—Sernas. Alarman. IL Na LONDDY, TUESDAY, APRIL N. Tunas are people whose palates are so sophisti cated that they cannot relish plain, wholesome I dishes. And there are people whale intellectual palates ate much in the same condition. This ac counts for the number of writers who hare no faith in any meascue of Reform that is not cooked up with some orotolmts or complications of their own &lining in stimvhints. To lop off an abase, or labodase an improvement, simply, into our electoral system will not content them. They must hare one proviso to soccomplish one object, and then another to onateract tie first in whole or in part. They am staid of all reforms that are likely to do their smirk, and therefore insist upon having those which they oondoicend to patronisesmusled and hampered. la short, they look upon all niessales of reform sn if they were the gifted serration of fveruitio in the flag tale, and insist that itterrinr shall sniff his ears with eottoo to prevent his hearing too much. and Shcift-forr tie his legs together lest he shoal overrun the game he is in pursuit of. Ouse of these wiser thia wise urn has bees pleeding very earnestly is a eomMempseary for sew anengement. la any new Deform Dill that may be biettght fermata, to aware the iepresestation of minorities is the 'louse of Comwou. Upon first thoughts we were rather surprised at the writer's anxiety spa this score at the present awasent. fires allowing the estimate of Lord P.tuairserox's . . . _ . . majority which has been farmed by his moat sanguine Irteuds to be exact, or even ander the mark, nal it appears to us that the opposing minority will make a tolerably decent muster when Parhenget meets. It has, indeed, occurred to us, that by " minorities" the writer in question may mean small knots er independent thinkers, who do not tree exactly with either of the great contending partimend who may be in danger of being squeezed ;sat et Parlismamt altogether by the shock and col- I Sam of the two more numerous bodies. To this iaterpretat ion, however, is opposed the fact, that he —or Lis colleagues—have for some weeks been braying out io pease over the exclusion of " impracticable and crotchety" members, and eon gestalating the country upon the more manageable Home of Commons that will be the result of their exausion. We leave the writer to explain his own meaning—if he have any. In the mean time we beg leave to express our hope that the House of CSELMOSS may never become inaccessible to men of original and independent habits of thought, who refuse to wear the livery of either of the powerful factions which contend for place on that mena. The presence of such men is necessary, as a assh spa the examen of party spirit; it is ......marybl mim to prevent the debates of the Home hem amt. rating into mere logomachies, in which the caw batants seek only to impart a good colouring is their own actions, not to promote wise awl just legislation. But we do not see that there is any reason to resort to indirect means to insure the ad mission of such men into Parliament. That three or four gentlemen of distinguished ability and high principle have been defeated in the general election, under circumstances migieeuliar excitement, does not prove that it is impossible for them to gain admit tance into the House of Commons. On the contrary, there is no one acquainted with the turns and wind ings of political life who does not feel confident that a very short time indeed will sec all these gentle men restored to their places in the Hones. Our local constituencies are not all cast in the same mould. The candidate who is unacceptable in one city will be warmly welcomed in another. We may always make sure of a fair supply of independent members without having recourse to the dainty device of enacting that all large consti tuencies shall return three members, but that each elector shall have only two votes. Such a proviso is not intended to introduce men of independent habits of thought and of unbending will into Parlia ment. It is not intended to ensure a constant supply of JOSEPH HONES. It is meant to ensure the presence in the House of Commons of a well.drillcd phalanx ' hostile to all popular desires. The inventors of this device seek not to promote liberty of thought, or the amelioration of our institutions, but simply to preserve what is called, in the slang of faction, "the due balance of parties." Their beau-ideal of a house of Commons, is one with a majority implicitly devoted to a ministry that will talk liberalism without acting it, and a minority of illiberals salleiently strong to afford ministers a pretext for not introducing, or at least for not insisting upon, liberal measures. Another crotchet has been propounded of late by the some ingenious class that is so anxious to ensure "a fair representation of minorities." It is proposed as a substitute for Vote by Ballot. It is neither more nor less than a proposal that a voting paper shall be sent to every elector by some Government officer, to be by him filled up with the names of his candidates and signed, and returned to the messenger when called for. It would be impossible to devise a mode of voting which more felicitously combines all that is objectionable in open voting with all that is alleged to be objectionable in secret voting. The secret of the vote given by each elector would be most successftilly eonataled am the public, and it vroidd at the same the, be perfeetly pateut to the Walsh ender Government. The voter would be withdrawn from any MOM* that public opinion might has over his and, sad left exposed b all the Wham that ass in cues meld exercise, an 'mistreated by any eppaemg influence whatever. J THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 28, 1857. It is a scheme most dexterously sontrived to rivet on a nation the fetters of a bureaucracy. It bears on every lineament the stamp of its permitage—mme inveterately bureaucratic mind. It would be easy to multiply etimples of the crotchets that the mere prospeet of a new Reform Bill is conjuring up in the seething bruins of those bewildered and bewildering men who imagine that every road, however tortuous and crooked, is a shorter path to what is right and just than the straight road. There is en instinctive diteetness in the unperverted human mind that renders it easy to rescue men from the fallacies of these crotchetmongers by simply placing their crotchets in the true light. To act the public on their guard against all the insidious representations of such sophists, it is only necessary to remind it that sincerity and directness of purpose . . arc the only sure guides to happiness and virtue. The man who seeks to gain his end by indirect means has always some cnd in view which he is ashamed te acknowledge. Whatever else may be the chase !Maks of any Reform Bill that shall receive the mama unction, the nation ought at least to insF.A upon its being simple, intelligible, and free tram unneemary niceties and complications. The truly useful, like the truly greet, is always Mann: ed with the impress of simplicity. ITALY. _.— (//tor ♦ SPZCIAL co TURIN, Ary.ll. 21. Yon are aware that the heads of your government gave their unqualified approval to the rkply made by Count Cavour to the not very prudent note of Count Buol, and it would have been stmo•ge indeed if they had not done so, since the whole of Europe, upon that occasion, has declared in f avour o f s ar di n fa. But you are also aware that., in the opinion of your government, it seems imp* xible to live in peace and quietness without peeper ( fog good and friendly re lations with Austria. These fond hallucinations, remembrances of old' and betrayed affections, do cer tainly appear to us , at the present moment, singular and inopportune but the ministers of Queen Vie • Sark mirl'lY kn ow better than I can know what are the real into meta at England, and therefore I have no mom tr, my about it. Lord Clarendon, then, im pelled f the argent exhortations, and it may be also by fly' skilful and astute insinuations of Austria, in vits d France a short time since to unite with England order that, in a polite and friendly manner, they might give Sardinia to understand that it would be an extremely acceptable measure on her part if she would make an official and public declaration that she had no ides of infringing or setting aside the compacts and treaties by which she is bound with regard to Austria—in virtue of which declaration the chancery at Vienna would have no difficulty in immediately despatching to Piedmont a regular envoy, to renew all the relations and mutual obli gations between the states, as good neighbours to each other. Our Italian proverb says, " that if you make the reckoning without your hod, you will have to make the reckoning twice." Napoleon 111. did not relish this proposal ; indeed he flatly refused to have anything to do with it, sines it appeared to him that to demand of the ministers of Victor Emanuel that they should make such a declaration would be to imply an injurious doubt of their integrity, and to concede to Austria the victory in the cause which now stands for dis cussion before the diplomacy of Europe. You may rely with the most perfect certainty upon all that I tell you. I have learnt it from a good source of information, and I will guarantee its accuracy. l'robably you will not like this last trait of the foreign policy of Lord Clarendon; you will think his spirit of conciliation has gone a little too far ; but it is fair also to consider how difficult it has be- come to the present English government to keep in a resolute and straightforward course of conduct, not diverging to the right hand or to the left. Unless I am much deceived, public opinion and the votes of your parliament have given but slow and faint support and encouragement to Lord Palmerston in his foreign policy. The Manchester school has fre quently been blamed, but its practical maxims may be said to have been followed by everybody ; inasmuch as everybody protean.' to exert an influence in Europe, and to assist the oppressed nations, without thereby altering one jot of the status quo, and with- out affecting in the least degree the prosperity of commerce, or ever running any risk of a direct quarrel with any one of the great powers. It is a very remote possibility that any such risk should actually be incurred, because the firm, profound, and general will of the English people would at this moment prevail with such authority in Europe, not taking into account the sense of justice and every generous and magnanimous sentiment, that I can hardly con ceive any power would venture for a length of time to act itself inflexibly in opposition to it. But it does so happen that the popular feeling remains, as it were, latent, and the language of the newspapers is the same from day to day. To come to our own affairs, it is most certain that if in your new par liament any speaker should rise up and repeat with vigour and eloquence such words as were lately pronounced by Lord John Russell in favour of Sar dinia, and if these words obtained an echo through out a good portion of the members of the House of Commons and the press, Lord Palmerston and his colleagues would suddenly feel themselves inabled to protect with greater frankness, and in a more un reserved manner, the people of Piedmont and their free institutions. I have nothing more to odd, ex cept that Austria would not, on account of such a proceeding, become the enemy of England, because the fear which Austria entertains is very great and very well founded of being left alone in the world, exposed to the hatred and contempt of all. But I will have the discretion to abstain from descanting upon your political affairs, remembering as I do another of our Italian proverbs, which says that a fool can do more at home than a wise man in this house of his neighbour.

The Grand Duke Constantin left Toulon for Mar seilles to-daef but in consequence of extremely rough weather, he went by land instead of by sea. . . . . Among the distinguished Russians now in France is the Chancellor of State, Prince George Wladimir Lyoff, an attaché of the Russian Minieter of Ma rine, who arrived at Toulon on the 25th, with the object of studying the military system of France in the maritime ports. Official news has been received that the King of Naples has prohibited country students from en rolling themselves in the Naples University. The measure has excited immense dissatisfaetion., Lord Cowley is going to Loudon in order, u some say, to be present at the opening of parliament. Another version of the cause of his departure is the necessity of attending to business count:cud with the patent of an earldom, which, it is anderatca.is to be conferred upon him. A Belgian paper says that the real reason for the withdrawal at the Eng lish Ambassador is • desire to avoid the Grand Duke Constantine, but I can scarcely believe this. M. Marie, the eminent counsel who is retained to defend M. Arthur Berryer in the affair of the Napo leon Docks, was unable to attend court to-day, in consequence of the death of his wife. It is thought that this event will lead to a postponement of the t ia/. Marshal Bandon arrived at Algiers on the 22nd. I The Bourse was much depremed today. The Rentz fell 30c. for cash and 40e. for account, closing at 69fr. 20c. and 69fr. 20c. Mobilier fell 17fr. 30c. The railways fell considerably. Some of the leading lines were from 12fr. to 15fr. lower. The financial news from Loudon continues to weigh upon this market. I regret to have to announce the death of Dr. Hale, for many yews chaplain to the British Embassy. Ile died suddenly yesterday in an epileptic fit. A rather heavy fall in the price of wine has taken place in Paris during the last few days. The accounts from the sixty-six wine-producing departments are to the effect that the vines are in such fine condition as to promise a most abundant crop. It must be remarked, however, that the account of the state of the wine districts was made up before the bitter cold weather of the last few days set in. In the Paris corn market, during the early part of the past week, prices were firmer, and on Wednesday an advance of about lfr. the sack of 159 kilogrammes took place. The four marks were in demand at 73fr. 50c. and 74fr., and inferior qualities brought from 60fr. to 71fr. 30c. The reserve of the Halle has fallen not less than 2,000 metrical quintals, not being more at preset than 15,000. But little business was done in wheat, the best quality being at 42fr. 30e. The country markets are all higher. The arrivals of wheat at Marseilles during the past week, we learn by telegraph, amounted to 140,000 hectolitres, yet prices were ascending, in consequence of de mands from Spain. Intelligence from Copenhagen states that the King has accorded a week to M. Hall to form a new ministry. The Dagbladet affirms that there is every appearance of his being able to encored.

A letter from Rome says :—" Everybody that pays • visit to Mr. Gibson's studio just now i• enchanted with his bust of the Duchene of Wellington.

The boring of her ears was • soave of great anxiety to the sculpter,although the operation was most cautiously performed by one of his best workmen, and supported with great fortitude by the Venus herself." The Malta papers of the 21st do not make any alluaion whatever to the illness of General Ashburnham.

The Madrid Gazette contains a circular from the Minister of Police and Justice to the provincial authorities, directing them to put an end to the custom which has lately &ripen of delivering 'peaches, melting pieces of poetry, &r., over the graves of deceased persons, either after or in the midst of the funeral service. It appears from an order recently issued by the Ottoman Porto that all vessels under the English, French, and Austrian (lop, carrying nails, will be permitted to peso the Dardanelles at any time of the day or night. The church of Rueil, which contains the tombs of the Empress Josephine and of Queen Hortense, and which has been enlarged and completely repaired by order of the Emperor, was mimed on Sunday.

BISHOP Or EXETER'S CHARGE TO OM CLERCIV.—The charge which the Bishop of Exeter was unable, teem illness to deliver at the triennial vaitation of his Moore last week, hal sines been printed. The rev. pre late congratulates the clergy upon the decision in the ems of Weeterten r. Liddell, expressing, nevertheless the hops that "In the matter of ornaments there will be no attempt to exceed the measure of sacred solemetty, still less unnecea wily to annoy the feelings of say niumwooti• p ortion of these who would wish to attend upon your ministry.' A consider able portion of the charge is occupied with ergoments intended to prove that the doctrine of baptismal regeneration fa not an " open question" in the church ; he has refused rliectioco to clergymen disbelieving it, and would do ppren,, if e a nd tur t i i ml i r ia reso com lu m ti i r of b o th ho . houres pr of t privy council com bined declared him to be wrung. The operations of that feminine° ought not to he extended to opintual matters, for the members of it taunt be expected " to have acquired the theological learning which is necessary for the proper &oi lier of nth cause." In reference to the declarations of the Catechism upon the beptienud question, he says—" This is • plain statement of a very plain matter, which the Judi cal committee have so largely tasked their great Ingenuity— Ant to reistindentand, and then to misrepresent." On another point closely connected with the same subject he mini—" This saying of their lordships is a matter with which it is hard to know how to deal. I hare, I need not say, a gnat reopen for all of them officially, and very great respect, honour, end regard for more then ens of them personally ; but Tom sure they will not be surprised— no, nor angry—when 1 add that I have a much higher respect and veneration for Christian truth. fit the present instance the court must he told with as much civility as the ease admit, that it knows nothing at all of what it is talking about." The biehop having analysed the charge of the late Bishop Kayo (Lincoln). Onto concludes ' And now, my friends, I bid you heartily farewell. Again, I say that we cannot expect often to meet—pretaLly tins is our teat meet ing on earth. May we all meet in that word where earthly dationnua will hare ceased, where many of you, the faithful and laborious curates, will occupy a far higher rank than your erring bishop. Meanwhile, I Lope I have not shunned to declare unto you—with whatever human weakness, some times it may be with too much of human passion —the whole counsel of Ood, so far as my poor lights could attain unto it. May He *wept with mercy every attempt to set forth His truth, end may His Holy Spirit enlighten our minds to see It, and soften our hearte to receive it in towline's, in pane, in love."

LONDON AND EASTERN BANKINU COREOB4. VON (THIS DAY) This morning a special general meeting of tie ehareholders in the above undertaking was held at the hank in Cannon-street, City, for the purpose of receiving a report from the directors upon the present state of their affairs, sag ' generally to take such steps as might be deemed r 4e yt attainable for the interests of the proprietors. On the motion of Captain Itecille, seconded by p o k ed Ololtield, Colonel Tcc►etc, en independent sharstrater, was called to the chair. The CHAlltnas, after rending the eireula by which the directors convened the meeting, proceeded to read the ((Am ine report : the board of directors, acting under the committee ap. pointed at the meeting of the Mart:holders held on th e 25 th March, submit the following report to the Mareholdem • pant of funs the report is a report of the directors, but it has been prepared on behalf of the committee. Th. Mareholdere ere reminded that at the meeting of Me 25th of March Colonel Yates, Mr. Thynn (who represented Sir William Gomm), and Captain Bovine were app o int e d expressly feud solely with a view to the realisation of the pro. petty of the hank to the beet advantage. It warn resolve& at that meeting that the board of directors should be ( °Mani in Mice fur the papaw of carrying out the arrange. merits for the realisation of the property end pay. meet of all the obligations of the bank, and they were to do no arts except with a View to carry out the aim' nistari ion under the authority of the mmittittee. The ghat* holders were required to give their proudaeury notes s e months for the amount of the remaining instalments of SA cent. payable on each share, and the committee were. au rised to make over all the property and to 44, me proianaure noted to secure the advancer, me h tt y . The committee have pleasure in reporting the', th e re*es meat of the promissory notes was felt to be or rather au touch a necessity, under the nte, ei t t ,.. t , t stances in which the bank was placid, ...met a largo amend was feigned on the 25th of March, berme t h e ... wig broke up. The committee ente.od at once upon their duties, and have given ..lien uninterrupted at tention to the affairs, end have b een aided meet ally by Mr. Archibald F. Arbuthnot, who (the pea shareholder, and only interte,ted fur a friend) has himself for many days as a :minter in the negotiations with the directors of the Orien'al Beek Corporation, and has eines greatly monied the cormittee. 'the committee hare planers en reporter that the • chairman, directors, and managers of the Oriental Beak Corporation have throughout these negotiations seed with the mine liberal and coraidente spirit which induced them, with the other misting banks, to 'respond to the appeal when first made to theet by Mr. Coleman. By the Indian Mail the day after the meeting of the shareholders they sent out the necessary credit to India, and after touch colander-alien they hare mewl t o afford pecuniary supie;rt to an extent, which, it is confidently believed, will enable the bank with the realisation of its pro perty to fulfil all its obligations in regular course. The bond of director+ acting under the orders of the committee re quested Mr. Stuart of the Oriental Lank to take upon himself the office of Manager of the London and Eastern Banking Corporation to which that sea. Oman kindly consented, and be being duly appointed commenced his derive and on the 11th instant took over the satin charge. The board also in coinpliance with the with expressed by the majoring beaks have made a all en the shonehohlene The committee, however, felt it right to intimate that this call would only be enforced against thous shareholders who may not give their promissory notes. The committee are end to any that the shareholders is England who have omitted to give their notes are very few, and they have every belief that the shareholder. In India, as well as an England, will rancor in giving their note.. Proper. deeds have been sealed by the company, for giving the Oriental Bank the complete control of the Ingo& able securities and other meets, and for vesting the laid property in a trustee for sale, and all proper steps have been and will be taken fur the realisation at the property in the beet manner. The committee consider that they ens established for a temporary purpose, which may hs deemed to be fulfilled by the arrangements with the Oriental Bank Corporation having been completed. It 1., however, felt by all who have taken pert in the am rangements that it is neceseary that a committee should continue to act, and Mr. Arbuthnot and Mr. Samuel Smith, a shareholder well acquainted with India, have hem re queried end have consented to join the caning committee, who have also consented to continue their aid in the 'druids tration. The caning conmoittee and the gentlemen now proposed to be molded to it do not consider themselves to be constituted for any other purpose than to superintend and direct the realisation of the property of the bank to the hest advantage. In the fulfilment of theme duty to the &arts holders they will not shrink from any investigation. into the trunattions of any of the directors and officials of tin bank or from directing any procetdings on behalf of the shareholder. which may be emential to their interest. They, however, consider that any investigations rimply invoking individual He tenet-rive culpability are secondary to the axes important object of devoting their time and attention for the prevent ex( lurively to the administration. They have. how ever requested Mr. Coleman to investigate all the affairs ef the ever, from its first commencement, and they will be prepared at a future occasion to lay the result before the shareholders; and the directors, in whose name this report formally issued, have pledged themselves (and hereby renew that pledge) to afford every information end asietsme to Mr. Coleman. The committee at the sane time think k right to state to the shareholders that they consider that et the present time any detailed statement of the tumuli= in which the directors or officials have been personally a. gaged might impair the due progress of the adminietratioe. They see of opinion, and they hope it will be the °Onion of the shareholders, that as the arrangements made will amble the bank to fulfil ell its engagements to the public, the pal& can at the present time have no right to inquire into their et (sire, if such inquiry is in the slightest degree detrimental le the object of carrying out the theme of payingall the meditate. In 'linking these observations, the committee wish moot emphatically to declare that they represent the interest of the shareholdera, and of the shareholders only, and they repeat that they would not be in/Mimed by any cousideratka for any other parties. The committee are ad vised that ft is moat important that the emporia don should continue to exist in its fullest integrity according to the provisions of the letters patent; they rifling right to state in Justice to the directors that they one end aff Dave expressed their a Alinjrnees to retire, and that more the meeting of the Zith of March they have been ready to give every assistance and info, elation to the committee, sal have acted telly iv conformity with its directions. In the existing stater of thing. it would ad be possible to supply their pieces, and they have been requested to continue to act; and, as three tom a quorum, the committee hove requested three to act who ail km ban any engagements with the bank, and those grate men have agreed to give their attendance, so as permanent', to constitute a board for all papaws for which the comae lien may be required to do or confirm any formal ann. Every arrangement has been made with • view 111 economy. The present otliero **Al be sold, ad the corporate end and place of business of the corporation will be traneferreel to some email office, conveniently near to the (Aces of the Oriental Bank Corporation. The staff dile*. will be reduced as much as possible, and the directive will act gratuitously. It bas been thought weer nary, in compliance with the 141st section of the deed, to take the Senn of the shareholders at the present meeting sat to the dissolution of the corporation. TY committee have already loafed their strong optima 'mewl the expediency of a dissolution which would involve the ex- Mena of the corporation which it in important to malaria. They ask the Mareholdere to confirm by resolution what bet hitherto been done at and share the meeting of the 2.5tb of March, end to authorise and function the Immanent. made with the Oriental Bank Corm tion on behalf of themselves and the other wasting banks, and they will be prepared at the next half-yearly meeting to be held in pursuance of the letters patent, 99 make a report of the progre s s of their administration. TS', have requested Mr. Codemen to furnish them with a short statement, chewing the progress of the adminietration tothe Ilth of April, the &to upon which Mr. Stuart formally took upon himself the managership of the hank bz which it appears that the liabilitice of the bank were mdaos. between the 11th of March and the 11th of April fines 397,734 f. to 3.0,240/. That the general ;mete of the bank now remaining nee estimated to yield 16,0521. abort the estimates made on the 23rd of March. That the seeefilke held for the debt due from Colonel Waugh to the bank as estimated not to yield by a sum of 38,0001. so meth as they were estimated to do on the 23rd of March. The result of them altered estinisteo is thee the estimated surplus of 13,718 f., as shown on the statement of 2914 March, is now changed to an estimated deficiency of 8 , 22154 The committee, while fully agreeing with Mr. Coleman se to the propriety of not wishing to give to the shareholder. se view of their affairs which may not be realieed, are of 0 0" that many of the estimates of some large amounts are lows and they hope fur better results.

Lott, commander, has just arrived in the Mersey, and by her we hale received four days' later intelli gence than to hand by the Alp.. . . _ The Asia sailed from New York on the 15th instant, and her protracted passage is chiefly owing to the contrary easterly winds prevailing in the Atlantic.

The New York herald's Washington correspon dent says that Mr. Reed, before proceeding to China,' will visit London and Paris, for the purpone of hold ing a conference with Lord Palmerston and the Emperor Napoleon, and thence he will go by over land to Aden, wherethe Merrimac frigate will await him. General Cam's reply to Lord Napier on the Chinese question was delivered on the 11th inst. It is drawn up with clearness and precision, in a spirit of candour and friendliness towards England. While it declines a political and military alliance with) England and France, the American govern. ment will use its best endeavours to gain the common ends proposed by both nations. . .
