WE understand, that at a solemn meeting of the Commissioners of the Great Exhibition, it has been determined that the Crystal Palace is to benpened in state by the Iteizs on the Ist of flay; and that the only persons to he admitted to this cere mony are the Royal Commissioners, the diplo matic body, the members of the go vernment, and of the household. A more impolitic, n more absurd, or a more ludicrous resolution the Commissioners could not have come to. That a mere knot of individuals, about whom, with the exeeption of the QUeEN, the PatseE, and one or two ministers, the people of England cure not Old' farthing, should thus, like maggots in a-huge Cheshire cheese, enjoy the opening of a vast na tional exhibition, which in itself, and in its in auguration, is not only a national but a Eu ropean _Pr, is monstrous. That these gentlemen should enjoy the honours and privileges of a private and premature view is all very well. They may en joy it in secret and in quiet on the last day of April, and the public will not inquire. But that upon the day which has been already announced for the first day of opening, not only the public, but even that nib of society, which could attiml, :mei which has payed, its three guineas for season tickets—that they should he' exelusted, is really impertinence, to use the least all inlet. word.

Really and in good truth, we think that these tom holders of season tickets, who have been led a little indwell to thin outlay of their money by a feeling of affection for the ge LEN and Petsi us well as of adhesion to the Great Exhibi tion, should make, in the eyes even of royalty, taut this. heist striking r...dure of that Ex- It is 111111 111104101 to keep out the, peole.

We are quit.' certain that Sir Itoin.aer Nit., who was one of the Exhibition commissioners, would never have sanctioned tin anaehronisin so gross as this. of a mere. narrow, court opening of the Great Exhibition. Ile would have protested aguinst it from a sense of its impoliey. and of the utter igno ranee of piddle opinion that must have presided over such a suggestion.

The double task of keeping the people quies cent, and the soldiers satisfied, might not have been is, difficult could economy and honesty have been intro dthvol into the ad • ' , fronton ; but. unfortunately, t Ito oothrial vustonts of the countries are those of rank dis honesty. The Queens and their courts were anxious but for money. It could only be had. by anticipa tion of the revenues, fr the few capitalists of the country. These. of course. were paid exorbitantly. subtracting the third or the fourth of the country's re% time from its treasury. And us a constitutional governnwitt is incompatible with such conduct, the Cortes in both countries were either paeked by intfu -I.IIW or silenced by intimbhition.

In short, NARVAE2 and Max performed so Well their task, and perfected their aim, which was that of governing despotically under the memblauwe of a constitution. that the QUEEN has been able to get rid ..f both, so regularly and' securely does their system work without them. Portugal is by no means so happily situated as Spain. Not Mori` than une-fifth of its neighbour in extent, and little more than one-fourth of its population. with a revenue of about one-fourth that of Spain Portugal has still a court and an army to sustain. The exigencies of grandees are even greater in Portugal than in Spain; and in order to mike up a fitting magnitude of emolument, both Ssi.u.sxud and THOMAR held at once the offices of minister at home. ambassador at Madrid, besides a host of smaller employs. Other modes of raising money and accumulating profits were equally in official hands, and were so common as to scarcely raise a blush.

Hobart Town papers of November and December lattice the determined combination of the colonists to form adm or society of their own. Discord ! Ms deed, appears to have reached its height, and is ifs disastrous consequences. It is now four ream since tanning a practical shape which threat ens the most 'transportation to this colony was discontimied, and ' ministers declared it should never be resumed; this pledge has been broken, and the felon stream is now pounng more copiously than ever on the shores of ' Tasfnama, with eo prospect of immediate or ultimate abatement. This hum roused the feeliugs of the colonists to on unanimous pitch of indignation, uud - evoked a spirited effort in self-defence. Throughout t the length and breadth of the land associations have been formed for the purpose of seeking, by constitu tional means, a redress of real grievances which they have been doomed to suffer, and to relieve I themselves of the incubus. To cast back the tide of moral evil the colonists know and feel to be an fin- ! possibility ; but they are firm in their resolve to check any augmentation of the evil. They ask, sue, and pray for—in a word, they demand justice and equality— to be placed on a footing with the sister colonies, to none of which are convicts sent but with their con currence; and:they ener getically demand the pledge of ministers being faith fully redeemed. On these issues they have taken their stand; solemnly, sin cerely ple • dged their existence to obtain justice in a constitutional manner. Concession or a final separa tion are manifestly the alternatives. This movement on the part of the colonists has produced an alarming effect. The emancipists have chosen to regard it as an insult to their class--an aggression upon their rights. Counter-associations are being formed, de signated " The Prisoners' Protection Society . ," the intention of which is to unite the emanegasts in one great confederation, not merely for the vague purpose of " protection" against wrongs, real or ima ginary, but fur the definite purpose of casting the whole weight of their influence and votes into the contest of the first general election under the new Constitution Act. Tlw folly, not to say madness, of this counter-movement cannot be contemplated with out serious apprehensions. In Tasmania, it cannot be disguised, convict influence is paramount. In 1848 there were 7,000 free male emigrants, while 9,00 had become free, exclusive of nearly 5,000 male ticket-of-leave holders, and the offspring of the re spective classes born in the colony. In that year no less than 10,000 male convicts were in government employ and private service, and since then the re newal of transportation has greatly added to their number, as also the issue of conditional pardons. On the other hand, the number of free immigrants has from various causes diminished. Looking at these filets and figures, the consequences of a counter-com bination may well be apprehended. A normal school is in course of formation at Hobart Town, to which an agricultural and indus trial establishment is to be annexed. It is intended to celebrate the passing of the Australian Bill be a public dinner in Hobart Town,at which five purebred persons are expected to be present. Front the re turns moved for by two members of the legislative council of Van ffietnen's Land, it appears that the convictions in the Supreme Court were in the pro portion of six of the free to one htmdred and twenty sevell of the transported, or as one free person to twenty-one transported persons. We observe that Sir ‘VilliatinDenison has issued a very stringent notice on the abuse of the privilege of franking letters by the public officers in the colony. The Mbar( Town ..ldrertiser notes that the power of ap pointing the officers of customs is to be vested in the local government instead of the board in England, the effect of which will be to place the future ap pointment of the customs officers precisely on the same hooting as that of all the other officials of the local establishment. Lieutenant Pate, under sentence of transportation fir seven years for the assault upon her Majesty, arrived at Ifubart Town in the ship William Jardine. It is said he displayed no symp toms of insanity during the passage. The commis- Karat departinont have accepted tenders for 10.000 bushels of wheat, at prices ranging from 7s. 6d. to per 100 pounds. The latest news from Van Diemen 's Land is by the overland mail, rig Singapore, which brings Hither Town and Launceston papers to the end of hoeem ber. The agitation on the convict question continued with unabated ardour. The Tasmanian Union, Or ganised for the purpose of embroiling the emancipist with the other population of the colon y , is rapidly waning, its adherents being in some degree con vinced- of their error. Messrs. Dry and (Beddow have been invited to stand for the representation of Launceston, both being pledged to insist on the im mediate, total, and final abolition of the curse. The Launceston branch of the " Anti-Transportation League of the Australian Colonies" have transmitted to Mr. Jackson, the London agent. documents urging and authorising hint to organise in the great metro polis an anti-transportation movement.

In 1840 the number of acres of Tana in culti vation did not exceed 2,3453 acres ; in 1847, the breadth of land in cultivation exceeded 36,000 acres; and when the expected returns are officially published it will be found that the onward progress of agriculture, in 1830, has been surprising heyonelall former precedent. In 1840 there was nut a public flour mill in the colony; in 1850 there were numerous flour mills, the use of steam-power being most prevalent. In 1810 the value of the exports, the produce o f the co lony, amounted to 1.1.640/. ; in 1830 they will be found to have exceeded 600,0001. In 1840, the total amount of public revenue was 30,1001. 14s. 11d. ; in the third quarter of 18.50, the total receipts of the colonial government exhi bited the large sum of 68,6[3/. 4s. tit., being at the rate of 274,568/. 18s. per annum. In 1840, the public expenditure exceeded the income by no less a sum than 139,76, /.4%.6d. ; in 1830 the public income has very considerably exceeded the expenditure, although that expenditure has included large amounts appli in reduction f the only public 'debt of the colony ed , which is t now o very nearly, if not quite, extinguished. In 1810 the shipping arrivals were hkc lovers' visits, " few and far between ;" in 18:40 the arrival% ' exclusive of those from the outports of the colony , have been no les. than 283 in number, with an aggregate tonnage of 86,281 tons, and all bringing passengers, of whom 6,613 have remained in the colony. From 1840 to 1815 in clusive, we only find one instance where the land sales of the year exceeded 3,0001. ; in subsequent years, inclusive of 185(i, the sales of crown lands have greatly exceeded an average of 50,000/. per annum, although the special survey sales have been discontinued, and several nlllll of 20,000/. each refused. Wherever we look, especially with our " mind's eye," the prospect is grand and cheering for the 66,000 colonists of South Australia. There was a squatting agitation in pmgrcss in con sequence of the detenmnation of the executive to en force the payment of assessment in advance. A de putation of the squatters had waited on the govern nr for the purpose of obtaining some amelioration of the recent land regulations, but the governor firmly ad hered to the opinion previously expressed, and sug gested the payment of the assessment then due.

And she is, in truth, risking her throne and kingdom by binding herself with what is corrupt and imbecile in the administration. Yet whether the present insurrection has eve.li tar t its aim to effect any s a lutary reform maybe doublitk General SALDANIIA, who idayed the peis c ipidra, in putting down the Scptembristlo is 1847, art aitso` maintained himself for a eciitain titueisi power:ail the result of his victory, found Ernsclf at last set aside for the Count 1)e Ttioniat. We mist own that Tnostart as much upset him by the Cortcs as the court ; and SALDANTIVS now basing recourse to military insurrection, places him in the light of by no means a constitutional liberal. Still, as he has accepted the aid and alliance of the Septembristas, he may have consented to liberal condition., as the basis of his future government. But again, the al liance in 1847 of the Septembristas with the Mi guelitcs naturally creates in the Qt:EEN's mind a repugnance towards them, which must extend to SALDANIIA, and make her inclined only to extremities. Little as England has to dowith contending parties in Portugal, England, indeed, could not but profit by the full of Tuom m, who has been commercially and politically hostile to our interests. Still treaties oblige the British admiral to offer protection to the person of the QUEEN and unfortunately ,pro tecting a roval person can always be adroitly twisted into protection for her politics. Such was the case in 1447, in which the English cabinet, supposing it liberally inclined, was most egregiously: duped, being made to contribute to the re-installation of all that was hostile to it in person and in principle. The House of Commons indeed would not stand the repetition of such protection as this. Nor is there the same danger to be guarded against as there was in P 447, when S tI,I)%NIIA struggled to invite, and insisted so fiercely upon a Spanish in tervention in his favour. The absence of Narivai2 from power and from Madrid precludes this, and was probably one of the chief causes and opportunities of the Portuguese prourinciomeitto. But. at the same time, the name of S. ll.ntNllA ut the head of the move ment sufficiently guarantees it from being either Miguelite or ultra-democratic. Let it he hoped that the movement may end with out bloodshed, and that the result may).* a liberal government, with n national Curtis freely elected, and expressitm of the popular will. Already even the present Cortes powerful voices, especially that of one of the members far Madeira, were raised in behalf of free trade and of a reduction of those absurd export duties, such as that upon port wine for example, which has injured Portugal and restricted its relations with this country. If that kingdom is ever to recover, it must he by honesty in its administration and liberality in its trade. A mere court, with a court financier for minister, the Cortes packed, the citizens intimidated and fleecd. and the army acting police—this is a system that could only cud by making Portugal a province of Spain. FRANCE. PARIS, WEDSFADAY 'Err:vivo. Since the installation of the new cabinet, although the moderate men of all parties maintain an cx pietant attitude, one symptom has disclosed itself in si manner not to he mistaken, and that is the retreat of the moderate legitimists from the almost friendly position which they had assumed towards the Elysk , . In this alienation from the Bonapartists the partv of M. Iterryer has no doubt been much influenced by the desertion of many of its members to the fraction of ultras whose opinions are expressed with great clearness and vigour by Alfred Nette intent, in the Opinion Podelleper. The fear of a rupture in the party, from the decided opposition which the prorowition of Louis Napoleon s powers meets with front the men of the Oinsion Poidire, has forced the moderate legitimists. whose opinions are exproised by the Unin, to repudiate abruptly the newly-cemented alliance with the Elysie, fos tered unaer the auspices of Messrs. (init.lt, licrrver, and Persi;rny. This rupture has also another cause in the sudden breaking off of the negotiations for putting smile decided representatives of the legi timists into the new eabinet, while a statesman par ticularly obnoxious to the friends of the elder branch, M. Faucher, was ticketed to take the lead. In Wit' to all this a letter of the Count of Chambord is spoken of, enjoining great reserve on his supporters fur the present as regards the further ance of a fresh lease of power to Louis Napoleon. For these MIIIOIIS the difficulties of the present cabinet must be looked upon as considerably aggravated by the decided opposition which they must look fur shortly at the hands of the whole legitimist party.

This motion, as well as another by the same author, i fur suppressing the chapter of St. Denis, was re jected unanimously by the committee. One hears of nothing on all hands but the eer minty of un outbreak, to be looked fur in the month of June. The Natiweal seems to be doing its utmost to stimulate the extreme party to take the field, although such a course will be certain destruction. The adopts the same pacific tone which con tributed so powerfully to repress the insurrectionary spirit of the socialists immediately after the enact ment of the electoral law last year. M. Lamartine exerts his facile and eloquent pen laudably in the Pays to prevent the nation from being divided into men of the guillotine and men of grape-shot, which, according to M. llomitaia Spectre Rosyr. is the only answer to and cure for socialism. Th e Yoe/iota& has a long manifesto, signed by its new editor, the protege of NI. Guizot, Charles Ilaixm, calling upon ail good citizens to rally to the standard of the Bourbon monarchy; but whether this standard is to be surmounted b y the white flag or the tricolour, is not explained by the advocates of fusion. I have already alluded to the reports of a reconcilia tion with Chang-rimier : but. although some steps have ' without doubt been made in that direction, it is not easy to we how the late general-in-chief can accept a command which has been shorn of its might in separating from it the command of the national guard. If an entente were to become imminent the great public confidence placed in Changaruier might create such a pressure of opinion as would make it Ihazardous to decline his services, even though the condition should be the reintegration of his old com mand. M. Goury de !Wan, first secretary of embassy, is appointed minister to New Grenada. The funds continue to fall.

Ciudin, the celebrated marine painter, ninety pictures representing feats of the I French navy. Sixty-three of these paintings are at 'Versailles, but the others were not completed until after the revolution of February, and are about to be sold as the private property of the estate of the ex- I king, his will being silent as to his intention of pre senting them to the country. Several of the repre sentatives of the people, among whom are Admiral Dapetit-Thouarn, General Lebreton, Geueral Leflo, Iliad MM. Colas, Schmlcher, and Eugene Sue, intend to propose to the Assembly that these pictures shall GERMANY. The Austrian answer to Prussia's last note, says the Cologne Ginett , , does not directly reject the Prussian proposition, and makes the return to the old Diet the subject of some preliminary discussion. The note is said to be most friendly. It contains the proposal that the Diet should be held in future in Vienna, whereupon Prussia has suggested that it should be held at Vienna and Berlin alter nately (further reference is made to the note in our correspondent's letter given below). There is a strange protest of SS members of the second Prussian Chamber, published by the l'reunnische Zenung, wherein the right of the president of the chamber to call any minister, speaking as such, to order, is denied. M. lanteuffel haying been lately called to order by Count Schwerin, has given occasion to this. The protest main tains that as the ministers of the crown, as such, do not belong to the Chambers, the discipline of the Chambers cannot be extended to them. The con duct of the high church (l'useyite) party in l'russia towards the " free corporations" is exciting a very general and lively interest throughout all protestant Germany. The Prussian clergy are, by the constitu tion, quite independent of the civil government. Every complaint made against them to the govern ment meets but with one reply from the ministers : "We are not competent to interfere. The evange lical church is, by the constitution, quite independent in all ecclesiastical matters of the state." Our correspondent writes as follows BERLIN, APRIL 14. The Austrian answer has at last made its at) . pearance. It arrived here on Saturday night, but as yet nothing certain of its contents is known. It is believed, however, that the Austrian cabinet have signified their readiness to accede to the conditions demanded by Prussia respecting the parity in the executive, iu order to retain the Dresden con ferences, at which alone there exists a possibility of Prince Schwarzenlwrit's effecting those great alteration* in the or ganisation and constitution of the Germanic confederation which he considers nevi ssary to put down and prevent de mocracy and resolution. The threat of the Prussian government to return to Frankfort, would seem to have had some effect, thotigh perhaps nut exactly that which the Prussian government antivipated. It is col* e* tured that the conditions demanded by Manteutfel were drawn up solely with the idea of compelling Austria to dismiss Dresden, and assent tothe complete restoration of Frankfurt. No one in the ministry expected that these con ditions would be accepted: nor doss it follow, because Prince Schwarzenherg now agrees to them, that ultimately they will prove valuable or available advantages to Prussia. if the general supposition concerning the Austrian answer be true, Baron Munteuffel has once again caught himself in his own trap. Private letters from Vienna, moreover, state that Count Thun will remain longer in that city than was originally intended. So long as he is there the doors of the Bundestag in Frankfort are shut for the temporary presi dent—the 'limes( ntative of Bavaria has no power to receive the credentials of new plenipotentiaries Count Alvendeln n will arrive from Dresden to-marrow, has ing again lawn summoned here to give advice.

Perth and Fremantle journals 'to the 22nd January have rmehed us. The convicts had com menced being a source of uneasiness to the government, and inconvenience to the inhabitants ; several had managed to escape, to begin the work of bush men, the most dangerous class of persons in the sister colonies: and to mend the matter, the convicts at Fre mantle had mutinied. On Jan. 20th, they assembled as usual at breakfast, when, meordiug to custom, one of their number was requested to say grave, winch la refused to do, saying he " would nut say grace firr such miserable bread."

The liabilities of the bank were 19,7631., and its assets 26,448/. An im mense supply of guano has been discovered at Shark's Bay. On one island alone more than 6,000 tons of guano was found. Several vessels had started for the bay to take in cargoes, and the official report of the discoveries has spread abroad a spirit of enter prise which promises to do good for the colony. The ship Albatross, from South Australia, seeking cargo, had barn taken up to convey nearly 1,500 tons of guano. BURNING OF THE BUCKINGHAMSHIRE IN DIAMAN, W ITII TROOPS ON 130AUD.-SEVERAL LIVES LOST. Subjoined are details concerning the destruction by fire of the Buckinghamshire, Indiaman, while on her homeward voyage, and was referral to yesterday in our Bombay correspondent's letter. She was a splendid-looking ship, nearly 2,000 tons burthcn, with high poop decks. She set sail for England on Thursday, the Ist of March last, under the charge of Captain Macgregor. Iler crew amounted to nearly 100 hands, 30 being Englishmen, and 70 Lasrars. She had on board, as steerage passengers. about 70 of the 50th Regiment of hoed, with their families, and 33 cabin passengers namely, Major Cooper, Lieutenant Swaly and Lieut. Wilkinson, who had command of the invalids; Lieut. Turner, Lieut. Mason, Br. Pratt, Dr. Payne, Mrs. Macgregor, Mrs. Murrey and son, Mrs. Max well and six children, Mr. Church and one child, a lady name unknown and six children, Mrs. Goodell, MissClune, Mr. W. Murree, Mr. John Wetted, Mr. Rich, Mr. Casey, and Mr. Chambers. The passage from C a l c utta d own the Ibaighley passed agreeably, and on the evening of the fol lowing Monday, the ith of March, she was brought up tar the night and to diwharge the pilot off Canterbury Point, about ten miles below Diamond harbour. The weather was fine, and most of the passengers and soldiers were on deck, singing, dancing, and otherwise amusing themselves ; all seemed happy and cheerful. As night approached they one by one disappeared below, and by half-past nine, with the exception of the watch 1111 deck, all had turned in and were asleep Suddeull• Capt. Margreenr received, about 10 minutes before 10 o clock, a report that there was something wrong in the forehold, as smoke was coining out of the lower hatchway. Ile went instantly for ward, and found such was really the case, the smoke mid heat almost overpowering the men below. The captain suspecting that it emanated from some jute stowed away in that pert of the hold, the pumps were got to work to pre vent it getting ahead, hut the smoke and heat in creased SO rapidly as to drive the men away from the hatchway, and in ten minutes a busk of Humes burst forth anti shot up through the quarter-Lek. Alnettly the noise and mansion on deck had alarmed the troops and passengers, and s • seeing the tire through the bulkheads, screamed out. The scene became appalling, and tons of water were discharged on to the burning cargo in the hope it would be extinguished, but without producing the slightest effect, the tire, in fact, strengthening itself, and communicating to the fore rigging, the whole was nu:c u l k i in a blaze. As far as the eye could stretch nothing be seen but sky and water, which was lit up by the glare of the tire, the night being very dark. Capt. Macgregor, per ceiving the destruction of his ship was inevitable, de termined, if possible, to run her ashore, the only ap parent chance of saving the lives of those on board, and gave orders to his men to slip the cables, whirl' was at unit carried into execution. Although no laud could Ito discerned, the current fortunately favoured the plan, for,set ting strong in shore, it drove the bunting vessel in that di rection,and in the course of an hour she grounded in such a position on the shore that these who could swim mail gain the land with little difficulty. In the meanwhile the lire had extended to the main hold, and the whole of the fore part of tl•e ship, with the mai 111 l 114 1 4, 1111.41t114 . 11 11111 . 411'11 of flame, scorching its living freight, whoa had taken n•fugo on the poop. Many of the passengers exhibited coolie ss, others were almost frantic with despair, and their screams rent the air. Seim after the wreck touched the shore a steam, r came down to the spot, the crew of which had heanl the firing of the Buckinghamshire signal guns, 1111111W:111 guided to the spot by the light of the conflagration. Iler arrival at the critical moment was beyond mcasur forcuicit••, for had it not been the case the boats lif the burning ship could nut have accommodated one half the number 'fiord. ('apt.

Several did so and were swept away by the current, and were drowned ; the num ber was not exactly known ; it was pr.-salmi!, howeser, there were five who thus perished. Ifireetly on the steamer bailing thou the boats were lowered, and the female passengers and children were conserved on board of the steamer in safety. The lauds quickly returned and took on board the remainder Or the pas sengers, and lastly the crew. Captain Macgregor was the last to leave the wreck ; it was then, with the ex ception of a small portion of the poop, 1111 line front end to end, awl continued hunting the whole night and two fel lowing nights and days hehin• she ghat d into deep water an d auk. None of the pass, tigers saved even a change of clothing. Many of the families were reduced by the cala mity to au absolute state oC air stitution. It is as yet imposible to say how the ship caught tire. By many it is hUllp/Ptil'd she Was *iliay set on tire Icy some Of the Locus, but no evidence has him adduced to confirm this report. She was laden with a most valuable cargo, consisting of East India produce. The total lose is calculated to exceed 120,000/.
