that the order of the day toe proceeding with the Borough El ec tions end the Horsham Borough Bill be discharged, with a view to introduce anew =ensure, and, in doing so, le should state the outlines of it, as he hoped to avoid therein the objections which he entertained to the bill of the hon. member for Flint, though not entirely to get rid of them. The house was aware that by an act which he had the honour to introduce in August: 1840, for the pester disoreere bribery at election' o c o mpromises entered intar its lanmealment, it was provided that in case charges of bribery a t elections were abandon ed in such a way as to lead • suspicion of compromise, or that the parties were to Braid of recrimina tion, then the co mmittee r had the power to report to the house that a further investigation was required, and in that cue the house had the power to appoint another committee to consider the grounds of the abandonment of such charges, and to prosecute further in quiry hate them. He would now state what were p of the bill which he proposed to introduce were. He pro p to extend the provisions ere act just alluded to in cases where charges of bribery made, either by petition or in recrimination. The Election Petition Committee would have to investigate all thus cherges, and if they found that the parties did not proceed in bringing forward evidence so as to enable them to go into the case, the com mittee was to have power to report that a further investiga tion into the bribery was needed. The house would then determine whether the inquiry was to be pursued by the Immo committee or by an investigation at the place where the bribery occurred. If the house deter comm i ttee ptng the former moie of inquiry, then thewould be obliged to meet again within 14 days and to proceed under the provisions of the act of 1842, Vic. 6 & 7 ; and the speaker would sppoint an agent to conduct such investigation. But if the committee recommended that an inquiry should be instituted on the spot, then the Speaker would notify to f ly previous judge who presided at the assizes held immediately previous to the election that the House of Commons dhe had ordered an inquiry to take place in such borough, an t judge would then nominate two banisters who were not members of parliament to conduct such inquiry. He had referred to the senior judge of wise as the nominating party, because he could not be sus p ected of having any political bias. The commissioners so appointed would, after having investigated the matter on the spot, report to the house whether bribery wits usual in the borough or only casual. With respect to the general proposition, he proposed to • apply the principle of the bill to all boroeghs hi which the mem ber had been unseated for corrupt practices. The house had already had to &elite whether new writs should issue in cases where bribery and corrupt practices had been estab• lished, and had granted writs ; but the general opinion ap peared to be that further i n q uir y was necessary. It' the bill, of which he had just stated the outline, had then been in force, the election committee would have reported as to whether further inquiry was needed, and the matter would have been referred either to a select committee or to commis sioners appointed by the house. What, in his opinion, was the defect in the act he had formerly introduced was, that the committee were obliged to stop short, and were unable, except in one case, to ascertain whether the bribery had been partial or aeneral. These then were the general provisions of the bill. He proposed to introduce clauses giving indemnity to witnesses who might be examined before the committee or eommissioners, and also providing that such witnesses should not be called up on any ulterior penal proceeding. It had always been necessary, in his opinion, to give indemnity in cues of bribery, and tire or six years ago he bad consulted some of the mos; eminent lawyers on the subject. It was not, however, thought advisable to proceed no far, as it might lead to great misrepresentation, and although eventually re sulting in great goad, might, at the :commencement, produce much incouvenience. lie should now move that the order be discharged with a view to subsequently moving that leave be given to bring in a bill to prevent bribery and corrupt practices at borough elections. Col. SIBTIIORP opposed the introduction of the con templated measure, and wondered that the noble lord should waste the time of the house by introducing a bill which he could not have the slightest hope of carrying through during the present session. It was sheer absurdity, seeing that there were so many questions of greater importance requirins con 'aeration; There were the miscellaneous esutithmeatneost,,oic.:l mno t'e close ly e xamined. (Rea, Lear.) wanted inquiry, why not begin wit h b " • own constituents in the City of London ? The small boroughs had been tried and sentenced, and it was against the law of England to try a man twice for the same offence. But there was London still crying for inquiry. The noble lord, however, although a puritan in appearance, was certainly not a puritan in heart. (A laugh.) While attacking the small towns he should not neglect his own overgrown borough. The Earl of LINCOLN said he had understood the noble lord to say, that when an election committee appointed in the usual form deemed further inquiry necessary, they could have the option of a select committee or a commis sinn. That might do for future cases ; but two cassia Derby and Leicester, were pending, and the respective committees had urged the necessity for further inquiry. He thought that the bill should contain special provisions for these cases. The other point on which he wished for information was, where bribery had been proved sufficiently to incapacitate the borough, but not brought hone to the sitting member or his agents, so as to affect his seat, whether inquiry would be prosecuted as regarded tke borough. He thought that a provision on this point would also be essential. Lord J. RUSSELL taid that the bid provided that the house might app int select committees or commissioners, to I inquire into all the cases in the schedule of the bill of the PL:.• to the second question, if the bill did not include the cases mentioned by the noble lord, he should take care that words sufficiestly comprehensive were inserted. Mr. STAFFORD hoped that as writs had been allowed to issue for the small boroughs, Derby and Leicester would not I continue interdicted. Mr. MULLINS feared that the bill would not effect the object which the noble lord had in view. He re d cd that 1 that it did not extend to the offence of treating. He fear it wee 4 ;ffieult to frame a bill which wool.! pru V6 a 1 1 I ta--• Lordfr all the etils of our sstem. .1. 0 RUSSELL. a nswer to a qu y estion, said that the bill did not give tlaa commissioners pooar to disfranchise. That would be h matter for future consideration. Mr. STAFFORD inquired again respecting the Derby and Leicester writs. Lord J. RUSSELL said that the house had resolved on Monday that the writs do not issue befrsre the 15th August. That would be the proper time to moaner the question. Mr. STAFFORD said he meant to-morrow (this day) to move that the Speaker do issue his writs for both borouehs on the 15th of August. Leave was then given to bring in the bill. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE. In answer to a question from Mr. Newdegate, Lord J . RUSSELL said that he meant to go on with the Ineumasered Estates (Ireland) Bill, and if not finished that I evening would proceed with it tomorrow (this day). After that, it was his intention to take the Lords' amendments to the Seim:eel Tenants (Ireland) Bill. PRIVILEGES. 'tdr. OSBORNE complained that on a former evening the hon. baronet the member for Marylebone nail accused the hon. member for Mayo of having wilfully abandoned his in tention of bringing the Irish church temporalities under the notice of the house. Now the fact was that thehon. m ember for Mayo was seriously indisposed, and had been soree weeks. INCLeMBERED ESTATES (IRELAND) BILL. The order of the day for the committee on the above bill was read. Sir G. GREY expressed his hope that preliminary discus sion would be avoided, so as that the clauses and their amendments might be disposed of. Mr. li EN LEY doubted very much whether the hill would effect the object in view. Tho otaect was to keep clear of the Court of Chancery; a nd he feared that the bill would throw the estates more helplessly into that court than ever. The house went into committee. On clause I—the interpretation clause — Col. DUNNE proposed an amendment to prevent the sale of the fee simple to pay off incumbrances on the life interest, which, after some di•cussion, was negatived, the boa. and gallant member intimating that he would raise the question and take a division upon it at a more fitting opportunity, which the Solicitor-General said would present itself on the 30th clause. The clause was then agreed to. On clause 2, The SOLICITOR GENERAL moved to omit the words which limited the sale of the property under a decree of the Court of Chancery, unless it be sold for a sum which should be sufficient to pay off all incumbrances on the estate. No such limit existed as to sales by private arrangement. The amendment was agreed to. Mr. at`CULLAOII. proceeded to state the object of the amendment of which he had given notice. The bill, as at present framed, limited the right of petitioning for a sale to the owner of the estate, to the first incumbrancer, and io the mortgagee who might hold the title-deeds in his possessn. He was desirous of removing such limitation, and permitting any incumbrancer to institute proceedings in a court of equity for a gale. The partii s on whom the clause exclu sively conferred the power were precisely those who ir g eneral were l e ast disposed to sell. (Hear.) The owner of an estate heavily incumbered has ceased too frequently to retain any direct interest in its poseession, excepting that -which be valued very naturally, and not und.servedly, the consideration and position which had come to him by inheritance, and which, with the inheritance, he is conscious that he must lose. (Hear, hear.) To expect such • man to initiate proceedings in equity for a sale would be idle. Were -the Ligheat price realised and all his creditors paid off, the balance in moneys numbered that would remain could not enable him to maintain what is familiarly termed his position in the county; and if he happened to be but tenant for life, the interat annually payable to him out of court upon this residuum would be wholly inadequate to maintain him in that social sphere in which he had hitherto moved. (Hear, hen.) If you waited until the insol vent, or nearly insolvent, owner petitioned for a sale, you might wait for ever. Then asto the first incumbrancer, he believed it would be found that the first incumbrancer .familyay speaking, a person holding a charge under settlement, or an old judgment on a bond. In Ire land these early charges and old judgments were looked upon as about the best investment that could be had. They were transferable, and always brought their full price whenever they were sold. They were valued like old pictures, which the pessomor was always the less disposed to part with because he knew that they would always bring him his own money. If, therefore, lands were never brought to sale until persons no circumstanced filed petitions in equity to raise the amount of these charges, sales to any considerable extent there would never be. (Cheers.) As for the principal mortgagees, who had the title-deeds in their possession, those parties had usually taken very good care either to buy up prior ineum• brances before they lent any considerable sum to the owner, Or to leave • &efficient margin of rent to secure the payment of their interest. Sometimes these parties were wealthy in dividuals who had lend their money in this way ass perma nently safe and profitable investment. Sometimes they were joint-stock companies or money-lenders; The SOLICITOR-GENERAL proposed to make aa addl. te ate clause the object of sad* was to 'make parties who kadby t or their agents Made fraudulent or eol lusimpurcheassof property, liabletimakehll manpimmdmi. Tke Mame, as amended, was agreed to. Clause 52 was agreed to. Clauses 63 to 62 inclusive were agreed to. On the question being put from the chair that dense 63, as amended. do stand part of the :43, Col. DUNNE moved that the clause be omitted. The committee divided.—For the clause Against it The clause was then agreed Cl au ses 64, 66, 6 6 , were agreed to. On clause 67. Mr. F. O'CONNOR tendered his thanks to the honour able and learned SolicitouGeneral for the improvements he had made in the bill, whioh in its present form would, he prophesied, turn out one of the best measures that had ever been passed for Ireland. (Hear, hear.) The Earl of LINCOLN rejoiced also at the progress of the bill, which he looked upon as a measure to enable the Irish landlords to do their duty to their tenants. (Hear, hear.) He trusted that if ever the English landlords were placed in a similar unfortunate position, a similar measure would be dealt out to them. (Hear, hear.) The clams was then agreed to, as were the remaining clauses. Mr. GROGAN brought up a clause giving compensation to certain clerks of the Irish courts, whose interests would be prejudiced b 7 the passing of the bill. The SOLICI f OR-0 EN EItA L, opposed the clause. After a desultory conversation, the clause was negatived without a division. Mr. B. OSBORNE moved a clause giving the Irish owner the same power as is given to the Scotch by the Entail Act, ------------ bet, 'lame invesiably, they felt themselves to be in exactly the position where there was seldom eny object or motive to institute proccegings for • sale. (Loud cries of " hear.") The estate might deteriorate, as most heavily incumbered prop . erties are apt to do ; but; they were distant from the geese ; indifferent to the slow decay ; safe, by their possession of the title deed', from the practical con. ..he evil. To wait till such parties tiled petitions volneno l °' •••• i on —.se lathe course of the die of sale would be to wait e. • .... cussions that had taken place upon this mu, on a previefle day, be regretted to observe a tone of argument indicative in some sort of a feeling that a ft er all this was a mere wrangle between landlords and lawyers. Bet , there het another and a far wider interest concerned which he trusted the house would protect and guard—lse I meant that of t w at enantry on incumbered estates in Irelaad. Their position as mat lamentable. Improvement was un known, and nape from evil impossible. Year after year the condition of the embarrassed property grew worse, until, in the sad progress of deterioration, the time came when, every other duty of proprietorship having ceased to be dis charged, the collection of the rents devolved upon a receiver ; and whet misery and demoralisation was comprehended in that fatal phrase, it would hardly be necessary to explain. I Now what was the condition of the mains incumbrancer ? lie watched the gradual deterioration of the estate on which he had lent his money with a very different eye. The eventual danger of a di &iced fund was ever present to his mind. If he were enabled to do so, be would institute ro ceedings for a sale before it was too late. By doing m op he would do a real service to the improvident owner, andhich an i nest i ma bl e bene fi t to the tenant r y of the portion w might be sold. The amendment which he had the honour to move would clothe the minor incumbrancer wi th this rds power; and it woul d, he believed, go far owa the gradual encouragement of what wee ed desirable, but what, at present, did not practically. existlan i n I re l an d—a market for land. People talked of bringing into the market. Into what market ? If they meant by a msrket the competition of small capitals for moderate por tions of land he could understand it ; but if they meant • forcing of large estates unbroken and in great numbers sud denly to sale, then be w ould tell them that the onl y p ractical effect would be to depreciate most ruinously the present value of land, and to hand over a vast portion of the soil of Ireland to a class of mere land jobbers. (Cheers.) He was sure that such was In no respect the purpose or aim which the framers of the bill had in view. But he very much feared that such would to some extent be its u nintentional tendency, if some means were not bound of permitting portions of estates rather than entire estates to be sold in liquidation of minor incum bream. He had heard with the deepest interest the speech delivered on a former day by the right hon. baronet (Sir J. Graham) ; and by nothing was be snore struck than by the caution with which he guarded his strenuous support throw of the principle of the bill from any approval of recklessly ing more land upon the market than the capital of Ireland could appropriate, and thus incurring the incalculable evil of general depreciation. The amendment would restore the second clause to the condition in which it stood when the bill was originally introduced into the other house last year; and he earnestly hoped, therefore, that her Majesty's go vernment would not refuse to adopt it. (Cheers) Sir J. GRAHAM, being most anxious to forward the bill before the house, was not desirous of instituting any discus sion which would consume time ; but he felt bound to state his concurrence - n the views of the boo. gentleman who had last addressed them respecting the sale of estate. in large masses. By the Stamp Act as it existed there was a sitting effected by selling large portions, while the small sales were obieructed by its operation. Ile thought that the object of the act would be considerably promoted if an alteration were effected in this state of things. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL was sorry tie could not se cede to the amendment, and he thought the house would see that the retention of the wor , li proposed to be omitted, instead of interfering with the operation of the hill, would be beneficial. some verb_; a mendm ents , nta, The amendment then w ne oa g a tt p iv te e d d, and the c la u se, with Clauses 3,4, 5, and 0 were adopted without discussion. sin the motion that clause 7 stand part of the bill, Mr. NAPIER said that he was strongly of opinion that powers n a more extensive nature should; be given to ecting the Lora Chancellor to frame proper orders anrules resp the petitions to be presented to the court under the act. The SOLICITOR -GENERAL thought it right to leave technical details as much as pos,ible to the Lord Chancellor; but he was at the same time opposed to delegating to others the powers of right belonging to thst house. It was pro vided by the fifth section of the set that every petition brought before the court should set forth the estate of the petitioner, his interest in the land or lease, and the uses and limitations or trusts to which the land or lease stood limited; also all incumbrances by which it was affected. Now he was sure the house would see that it was necessary to make this compulsory by a section of the act, in order to economise the time of the court by making it impossible for persona to come before it with fictitious cases. Mr. B. OSBORNE believed that unless the bill were carried out co mmissioners appointed fiir the purposero i would be a &Bute, by on account of the complexity of its p rovi sions. sions. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said that such an arrange ment would he attended with great expense, and the strong est desire of the framers of this bill had been to avoid throw ing additional expenses on these incumbered estates. After a protracted conversation in which Mr. R. PAL MER ? 1.

Clauses Bto 28 inclusive were then • . • On clause '2o, ...Vie d to.

The SOLICITOR GENERAL stated there was a proviso 'lulu:Aim; from that charge all sums paid to the credit of the Acr,ountant-Gi °trot of the Court of Chancery under this bill. clause ill was then agreed to. On clause 30, Col. DUNNE said the was the first of a very important series of clauses, which he thought ought not to be discussed in so thin a house. lie would, therefore, move that the chairman do report progress. Sir G. GREY thought a mill house was the most proper for such a discussion. Mr. NAPIER suggested that the discussion might take t cla irt use ee s a r e , lt a u t les .g . 1 place on the bringing up . of the repo rt , when he intended to mcirr.ttierittsajig of this and recommendedt t h e fo ll owing ° Xi n g! to sales by the court of chancery, should be postponed. (" No, no.") Mr. OSBORNE said the postponement of these clauses would be in effect to give up the bill. After a conversation Col. DUNNE withdrew his motion. Clauses 30 to 33 were then agreed to. On clause 34, The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said he was most anxious to secure a bona fide sale when tele took place, and at due the sa me time to avoid uenecessary expense. To secure notice of the sale being given he w had ould p ered ropose a ancavea amet to nd ment, entitling every persowho ent personal notice at has abode, thereby enabling him to take imps to restrain the sale if he thought proper, and giving him the right to know the price at which it was proposed to sell. Sir J. GRAHAM thought this clause one which required the utmost attention. It was most desirable that, in cases of sale, the full value should be obtained, sad all collusion pre vented. For this purrse it had been suggested that a pub lie sale by auction would be the best. (Hier, hear.) The suggestion that the sale should be in the master's °nice, with a right to the office to open the bidding, he did not approve ; but to sale by auction there appeared no objection. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL doubted whether a public auction would be a security against fraud. lie thought frauds might be perpetrated under a sale by auction as well as under one by private contract. To place the power of sale on the best footing, the parties ought to have the option of selling either by . auction or by private contract, as was done in aU cases in this country where trustees had the power of sale. To bind up the parties either to one mode or the other was injurious. By making it the interest of the vendors to sell fur the largest feasible amount the best security agai nst fraud was supplied. Besides the cues iu which fraud cou ld arise were comparatively, 'few ; for the instances would be very rare where it was the inte rest of the party selling to do so at • reduced price. As a d ditional security, he proposed to introduce a clause making I all the pieties to the sale liable in the case of fraud ; and thus the buyer in such a case would acquire no title, and both he and the seller, as well as the solicitor, would be liable for the amount by which the full value exceeded the sale prices. Probably a desirable course would be, Ater all the incumbrancers had received notice of the sale, that the estate should be offered by auction, with liberty to the er, if no sale were effected, to offer it by private contra sell ct. I3ut even this might be productive of inconvenience ' • a nd upon the whole he thought it would be best to leave tbo manner of the sale entirely open. Sir J. GRAHAM was not quite satisfied that it would always be to the interest of the vendor to obtain the best pos sible price. (Hear, hear.) Where a mortgagee effected a sale he might - have very little regard for the interest of the heir in remainder. The uniform view of the law was that a public auction was the beat means of securing a fair sale. He would not now press his suggestion, but hoped it would receive the consideration of the learned Solicitor-General. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL promised to endeavour to frame a clause which should meet the views of the right hon. baronet. Mr. MULLINS said that ao prudent trustees would now effect a sale by private contract until alter they had offered the property by auction. Mr. SADLEIR thought it should be left quite open as to whether the public or private sale should be first tried. At present scarce any mortgagee in Ireland had a power of sale by private contract; and all judgment creditors must necessarily resort to an auction under the powers of the cou rt. This incurred great expe n se, particularly where the property was small ; and during the last two years there had been a growing disposition to avoid those sales. Col. DUNNE did not believe that many sales in fee simple would be operated under this bill ; it would princi pally affect the smaller gentry, few of whom were holders in fee. Mr. OSBORNE was certain that great frauds would be committed unless the utmost publicity was given to he sales. Mr. MONSELL feared that 'public sale wouldinjuriouely affect small properties. The clause, as amended, was thee agreed to p es were clauses up to 60 inclusive. On clause 61 being put, -- - viz. : That where any Vernon who Is unmarried and without lame Abell It tenant for life, with immediate remainder to Inn own issue in tail, It shall be lawful for such Vernon, provided he be entitled, or other wise with the cement of the person who La entitled In remainder or reversion In fee nimple, by deed duly executed and enrolled, pursuant to the :wanking of the law in force for barring entails, to aulutre such land, or any part thereof, in fee aimple,r which wan opposed by the SOLICITOR-GENERAL, and negatived. Mr. BOUVERIE moved a clause, the object of which was to simpl.fy the conveyance of property under the act. The SOLICITOR-OHNERAL objected, on the ground that the clause was unnecessary, as the bill already made the simple conveyance of the seller a complete conveyance Of title. The clause was negatived. The following clause, moved by the same hon. member, was adopted' " And be it enacted, that in citing this act in other acts, and in legal instruments, it shall be sufficient to use the expression, The Irish Incumbered Estates Act.' " Mr. BOUVERIE then moved the insertion of a clause to the effect That DO arsurance under this act chili be subject to the further or additional duty (of equal amount with the duty on a team or bargain and wile for a year) with which conveyance. by cha a slu : ble g's a deed n are d t by an y uct, either expressly o r by reference, mado ge at all assurances under this act on which the purcham r or consid 0001 erahs shalltion money therein er thereupon cremated guilt not amount to 2,, be chargeable with an sit valorem duty of 1/.. for cool 1001. purchase or consideration money , and DOD% proportion , any : ma& co or tractional part of IDOL, in lieu of all other Vonlp duty whatsoever, except the progressive duty. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER requested that the clause might be postponed, to give him an opportu nity to center with the Stamp-office. He concurred in the object, admitting that the stamp duties as at present imposed I were calculated to prevent the transfer of small properties. Mr. lIENLEYshouId object to any relaxation of the stamp duties in regard to Ireland which was not extended equally to England. ' The clause was then post ned po, and the preamble having been passed the holm resumed, and the bill was reported and ordered to be reprinted with the alterations, and re committed on Mond CHay next. URCH RATES. Mr. B. OSBORNE postponed his motion for a bill to abolish church rates till next session. EXCISE EXACTIONS. Mr. OROGAN moved for a select committee to examise into and report upon the claims of the spirit grocers of Ire. land for repayment of th e mone y s illegally and wrongfully ex acted from them by the excite officers in that country, u nder the Act 6& 7 Will. IV., c. 38. It appeared that a verdict had been obtained fur the repayment of these over charges which had been refused b- t h e exchequer. The Treasury had bun memorialised ori the subject, but in vain. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER observed that as the facts were already known, a committee of inquiry was unnecessary. The SPEAKER interposed , The right hon. gentlemen could not enter into an explanation of the grounds of refusal. Did the crown refuse it ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—It did. The motion was consequently not put. CORN IN BOND. Mr. LABOUCHERE said that in committee to-morrow (this day) he would move a resolution for continuing the acts regulating the grinding of corn in bond, so long as the present corn law existed. As these acts expired in August, this resolution of renewal became nee , nary. The house then adjourned at live minutes past one. ELECTION COMMITTEE .—YESTERDAY.

Freesia was e videntl y fi rst tempted to it by the ides that popular effervescence and anti-mo narchima might be diverted into a oarlike channel, and democrats, like the French republicans of 1794, converted into disciplined soldiers. This idea has been abandoned. And princes have come to think 'lines a more favourable state for the recovery of at 'Nebo certain portion of their rights and influence. Tbe difficulty, therefore, in concluding the diffe ream between Denmark and Germany, lies not l so muc h with princes or cabinets as with the peope. And the question is, how is Schleswig to be disposed of, so as to content the Schl:swigers ? The best system for all parties would no doubt be that long since p een the drawing a line of separation between the Danish and the German portions of Schleswig, annexing the former to the administrative sys t e m of Denmark, and adjoining the Holstein. This would have the advantage of n ot only settling pre sent differences, but affording a clear way towards the settlement of the eventual and more serious difference, which must; be opened with the question of succeseion at the termina tion of the preeent direct line of sovereigns. Both Denmark and Holstein should prefer drawing a line of demarcation at once. The idea, however, hurts the pride of the S c hleswigers . , extinguishes them asant a duchy, and wounds so grievously that predomin sentiment of the day, national and local pride, that the repugnance of the inhabitants will probably cause this project to be rejected. There remains, therefore, bat to place things pretty much on their old footing, and allow separate estates and administrations for the duchies, under tho per sonal sovereignty of the King of 1) EN MARK. We fear, that this alone is possible, and it is acceptable as put ting an end to the quarrel of the hour. It, however, leaves as imminent as ever, the future contingency of war, when the question of suceession is opened, or when the action of Germany, as a united state, shall call upon all its dependencies to support it in pretensions,' or in war, against a rival race. ibis will depend much on the success of German efforts to found unity of empire and a common bond of nationality. Germany in awakening to a popular sense of its , national unity and independence, has tiready touched and awaken( d the counter - sensit airy and repulsion of three races—the Italian, tie ficlavonian, and the Scan dinavian. Its con'-act with the French is too old and too 1 °,7 °°°'.sted a source of rivalry to a waken sus cePtt°'.ity or dispute at present. As to Italy, differ er.ce of race, of language—on either side of the great barrier of the Alps—cannot but fix upon the true line of separation. With respect to Scandinavian and Sclavo than, a wise policy should have prompted the Germans to conciliate and unite, rather than either repudiate or oppress them. But wisdom has not prevailed, and the very first act of German governments, under the in fluence of revolution, has been to alienate, to crush, or to invade these neighbour and kindred races. To have made an ally of Denmark was as possible as it was politic for Germany. Late years had drawn closer the bonds between German and Scandinavian, and letters bad almost effected a fraternal union, when politics interfered to drive them violently asunder. The consequence has been the fraternisation of the Scandinavian powers amongst each other, with the protection of Russia tl rown over all, in !such a way . as to create for Germany a potent rival and foe in the north, calcu lated not only to act as an important check upon her in case of war, but even in peace to obstruct what the Germans most fondly aim at, the development of their country as a trading and a naval power. THE title " society for the promotion of coin 4 . lsa tt on " is rather ambitious , for th e societ y. : gr..nts intending to aPPes'ls to limit its efforts to affording facilities t o smug proceed to the colonies. Even th•.:4 objecthowever, is praiseworthy, and may bend% many honest and inane trious individuals, since • ' sacrament seems resolute to do The ":.aal annual report of the commis s in nothing. 0 1ital lands and emigration has been o ers o f Prese".tell to parliament; several selections of ',',apers relating to emigration have already been received by the legislature ; and a consider able number more are in active preparation. But government have not yet hinted at any measure in contemplation to afford increased facilities to the able-bodied and industrious unemployed to find their way to the colonies ; and so far from thew. bring any likelihood of an additional government measure being submitted to the House of Commons this session, there is every reason to believe that several which have already made considerable progress arc to be withdrawn. Yet there never has been wit! - in our recollection a time at which the in dustrious classes of the community have been more generally impressed with the conviction of the advantageous prospects which open to them in the colonies, or more anxious to avail themselves of them. Since government, therefore, obstinately neglects to do its duty, there is nothing for it brit to supply the defect by the exertions of private philanthropy. The worst of it is that all such amateur exertions are nercssarily intermittent and limited in their sphere of action ; and there is good reason to apprehend that this activity on the part of private individuals may ,urage government to persevere in its do-nothing policy. Government has it in its power to facilitate emigration without in the slightest degree trench ing upon the legitimate field of private enterprise. In all our colonies, and especially in the Aus tralian, the waste lands afford an almost inexhaustible fund for affording free passages to emigrants, but government will not adopt the only policy by which this fund may be made available to its full extent. The proceeds of the sale of waste lands in the colo nies ought to be devoted exclusively to promoting the purposes of colonisation. At present a large proportion is deducted and allotted to defray ing the ordinary purposes of government. This portion of the ways and means might be with drawn without incurring the necessity of adding a single penny to the annual taxation of any colony by the sacrifice of the civil list. The civil list is a por tion of the annual expenditure withdrawn from the control of the local legislatures, in order that the im perial government miy always have wherewithal to reward agents who have been serviceable to them in this country by lucrative appointments in the colo nies. There is no colonial grievance that creates half so much exasperation as these home appoint ments held in defiance of public opinion in the colonies by a set of men utterly de void of official aptitude, and uniformly con ducting themselves with supercilious petulance towards the colonists. Leave local elective legisla tures to decide how many . officials and of what kind are necessary, and to devise the means of remunerat ing them adequately, and local government will be conducted better and at less expense than now, and the entire land-fund left free for the legitimate opera tions of colonisation. These are the construction of roads to lay open all parts of the colony to settlement, the construction of piers, and other things ' necessary to impart completeness to natural harbours ; ' and the providing of free passages for labouring I I emigrants. The public works we have named will &fiord security against the labour market being at any time glutted, and the continuous influx of labourers will draw capitalists after them. Government, besides having it in its power, at least 1 in the Australian colonies, to make the whole land I fund available for colonising purposes, has it also in its power to accelerate the increase of that fund. The construction of roads and harbours, by rendering all parts of the colony accessible for settlement, and I the relinquishment of all interference in local govern-' sent beyond the appointment of governors, by pro moting economy and efficacy in civil administration, will augment the prosperity and increase the general attractiveness of the colonies. The abolition of the , navigation laws and all other remnants of restriction on trade will accelerate the influx of capital and the development of internal resources. And in propor tion to the increasing wealth of each colony will be the increasing demand for waste lands to reclaim, and the augmentation of the land fund. These are the legitimate means within the power of government to afford increased facilities to emigra tion. But that anything will be done towards them in the present session is beyond all reasonable hope. The measure for the partial repeal of the navigation laws has been withdrawn. And as for what regards the other measures indicated above, the task of taking a first step towards their introduction was left to be attempted by a private member, and he has allowed his opportunity to escape him. Sir WILLIAM MOLES WORTII'd motion, like the bill for altering the naviga .its I tion laws, must stand over till another session. Der- LONDON, FRIDA Y. JULY 14. We pointed out, some time ago, the wonderful pre dominance of sentiments of peace, influencing even the most revolutionary governments, and the most am bitious and unquiet personages; so that in places where actual war was flagrant, spirit was wanting to continue it, the very behigerents seizing with eager ness every overture for terminating hostilities. Since then, the mediating powers have succeeded in bringing Danes and Germans to conclude an armistice ; the Austrians, too, have made an offer to the Milanese and to CHARLES ALBERT, which has been at least re luctantly, if determinately, refused. Peace at all events has been restored in northern i Europe. The German ports are once more opened to their shipping. And the inconvenience of the late brief suspension of trade, inflicted on Germany by a very inferior power, will have the effect of teach ing the people of tho latter country to beware of in dulging a hasty ebullition of choler or of pride. What chiefly menaced to aggravate the quarrel, both on the Eider and the Adige, was the interference of the central or new imperial German power, that has sprung up in Frankfort. This, however, has now been, on the contrary, turned into an element of peace by the election of a prince, at once so experienced, so pacific, and so respected as the Archduke JOHN. But for his election we should have had many doubts of the German parliament ratifying the Prussian armis tice, but the voice of the now lieutenant of the Empire must be listened to in the present instance. The terms on which the armistice has been con k ludedby the Danish and Prwisian governments evince that both parties were anxious to come to accommoda tion. The King of DENMARK, although guaranteed against any ulterior efforts of the Germans by the promised assistance of Russia, has nevertheless con sented to the evacuation of Schleswig by his troops, and to that duchy remaining in the hands of its present provisional government. Had the King of DENMARK shown a similar spirit of conciliation at first, the war would not have broken out, since it was his summoning the Schleswigers to send their deputies to Copenhagen and be absorbed in the Danish parliament, with his subsequent mili tary occupation of Schleswig, which led, first, to the res i s tance of the Schleswigers, and then to the un warrantable interference of Prussia. The difficulties hitherto have sprang from the precipitancy of the princes and govenime-' on both sides, who each not only sisted in their false steps, but were determin, to reap glory and prestige from their daring.

The same general uneasiness, and the same sinister rumours which preceded the ion of 23rd June and the event of the 15th explosion May, have the been re marked here for several days, but they are even of a more serious uature than formerly. The same re spectable organs of the press vainly attempt to dis semble their fears, and tranquillize the public by ex pressing hopes and confidence which they evidently do not entertain. Three days ago General Changarnier, commander in-chief of the national guards of Paris, issued an order to the colonels of the several le gions to meet him with the principal officers of his staff at appointed hours yesterday at the Mairies of their respective arrondissements to confer with him on matters of urgency. These conferences took place yesterday, and the subject of them now is known to have been to concert with the several com manders of the legions what measures should be taken in each arrondissement in the event of another attempt at insurrection. The importance attached by General Changarnier to these conferences has been manifested by a strong reprimand, published in the Moniteur, against one of the colonels, who, being pre vented from attending personally, sent his lieutenant colonel to the conference. The rumours afloat are of course very various. The reported attempt is assigned for to-morrow the 14th, being the anniversary of the taking of the Bastille. It will be remembered that when the five sous ban quet was adjourned, to-morrow was the day assigned for it. That was to have been the occasion of collect ing together upwards of 100,000 operatives, the leaders of the plot intending that they should fall upon the rest of society and dictate such terms to them as would secure the triumph of communism. We hear now on every side that the blouses say they are now game and game with the government; they had the day in Februar the government in June, le 14 ou t' sjouerons la belle!" (On the 14th we will Iplay the conquering game). The following are samples of the reports in circu lation. One is that a general murder of the members of the assembly is intended, means being organised of executing this simultaneously at their respective places of abode. Another is that an organised assault will be made on the boarding schools where young persons of the one and the other sex are educwed, that these shall be captured and kept as hostages to be delivered up only on the paymei.t of a ransom in money, and the concession of such political mea sures as the insurgents may require. Other reported projects have for their object the blowing up of por tions of the capital by means of gunpowder deposited in the quarries, the catacombs, sewers, pipes, cellars, and other excavations which already exist, besides excavations expressly executed for the purpose. It is understood that the Pensions and other establishments for education have been placed under careful surveil lance. Again, it is said that a column of 40,000 ouvriers, without work, intend to march to the National Assembly, and demand peremptorily to be fed or to be shot. The provisional municipal council which has just been appointed met for the first time on Tuesday at the Hotel de Ville. M. Marrast, the Mayor of Paris, read to them a report giving a disastrous account of the financial situation of the city. At the revolution of February the revenues underwent a sudden fall, and on the abolition of the octroi on meat by the provisional government they de clined as much as 50 per cent. There are, it seems, only of four millions of francs in the treasury to meet the expenses until the 20th of August. The Mayor proposes the reestablishment of the octroi on but chers' meat and the raising an immediate loan of 25 millions, a measure which was postponed under the last government. The sub-committee of finances has agreed upon a report on postal reform, recommending a uniform rate of postage of 20 centimes or 2d. English. A project is proposed to enable the regular troops to carry the barricades without the ter rible destruction of life to which they have been hitherto exposed. This contrivance consists of move able shields of a magnitude equal to the head of the column which may be advanced before the column, quite up to the barricade. Such a contrivance would render the fire of the insurgents behind the barricade innocuous, and the column once at the barricade, the parties would be on equal terms. PRUSSIA.—We have received the Berlin join. of the 11th. Our correspondent at Cologne writes COLOGNE, JOLT IL A circular, signed by 117 members belonging to the es called" right side " ot the Berlin Constituent Assembly, is now being extensively distributed throughout the provinces. It is declared in it that the hereditary constitutional ma nareby, now that the old system is overthrown, ia the right. f u l government for the country. It is set forth, moreover, in the circular in question, that the mission of the assembly cannot be considered at an end (in other words, that the latter cannot be dissolved) until the groundwork & laid for all the organic laws. The left centre has already de. Glared in favour of a constitutional monarchy based on demo. erotic principles. It appears that the civic guards of Berlin are greatly displeased with the aldermanic corps, in come. quence of the latter having called in fifth troop without consulting the former. It is eve n stated in the Dusseldorf Gazette of this day that a number of civic guards took possession of the guard-room of the so-called barracks of the Alexander regiment, I and barricaded the door in order to prevent:the ingress of the new troops who were to be quartered there. Finding, how ever, that the latter were getting through the windows, elm civic guards withdrew in high dudgeon. Public meetings is the open air are of daily and even nightly occurrence. The reinforcement, however, of the Berlin garrison has gime much satisfaction to the majority of the citizens, and hie restored confidence in a quarter where it has bear billion) wanting—that is, the Bourse. It may be here stated that the accounts from several German bourses are satisfactory.. According to the Markburg Gazette Prussia wou ld keg very favourably on the following appointments by the View of the Empire : Prince of Prussia, Commander-in -chief 51 the Forces of the Confederation; Herr Radowits, Crawl Minister of War; Baron Von Gagern, President of the Ces• teal Council ; Herr Mathy, Central Minister of the Interior; and Herr lieckscher, Central Minister of Foreign Affain. The Posen Gazette brings the intelligence that all the Polish prisoners implicated in the late insurrection in the above duchy have been, with the exception of Kluge* set tree. General Von Brunnec k appears, moreover, to be really desirous of pacifying that part of Poland, and, as a first step, has introduced a rigid system of discipline amtfirl his German troops. He has also ordered the disbandmesti the German national guard and free corps of Posen. If the reorg .niaation of the duchy is to be effected (as r epeatedly promised) in a national (Polish) point of view, it is mon clear that such measures as the foregoing are strictly nee* sary. Mieroslawski is quietly living in Posen. AUSTRIA.—The Vienna journals of the Bth have come to hand. The Vienna committee of safety demand that Conti Windischgratz and Leo Thun be brought to trial for their recent conduct in Prague. Ministers, how ever, refuse to listen to such a proposition, and hars recommended the above committee not to trouble themselves about acts of the government. The Bohemian Diet will not be convoked until after the prorogation of the forthcoming one in Vienna This decision on the part of the ministers will, fa a certainty, greatly exisperate the Czech party. It is reported that, although the new Vicar of fb German Empire is declared by virtue of his oSo irresponsible, he is greatly inclined to give up dint privilege, and to assume at least a personal respOlke• hint,' for his acts. Should he persist in his deters nation, it is probable that the national assembly ,a offer no opposition. His Imperial Highness arrivei in Frankfort yesterday (the Ilth).
