MEW the Earl W Dust was het dinged with the hematiem of a leinnery, be missed some reten tion of his eddy prizelpies, sad of those edam whisk masted his win after his operation from the Wigs. All remember hew, eve. when a de dared tou, be *WI to tbe meat( ma a man as Lord Lowonnotate to the west of St. Penn bars: In the Mall VFW, when Lord Dalai was t= his cabinet lest year, he is known to have Sir STIIATTOSD CANNINO to be minister far foreiga affairs. We now lad the inexperienced Lord MALMUSUIIT appointed to that post. This may either seise from its not bong worth while to remove araboseador from an important position, in order to take place in a ministry of a few months' or weeks' duration ; the other reason may be the desire to conciliate Russia by sot appointing to the Ferri/m -ak, Sir STIIATTOIO CANNINO who is known to have acted on many occasions as a determined antagonist to that power. Lord MALYESIURT is considered, and with justice, a far more proper man to conciliate Russia, and even Austria. We doubt, however, the possibility of their reconciliation. There is so Alien Act at present in Pores; it is impossible the Home Minis ter or the Foreign Minister can gratify the de igns and protium= of Vienna with respect to Hun mien and Italian refugees. If Hoestrrn should return hither to talk, and Memel continue to lec ture, there is no British law whereby they can be coerced or silenced. And, indeed, the news itself admits, that it is no particular English minis ter that excited the resentment and hostility of Prince ficuwAnsessato, but that it is the country itself—England, and its habits, and its way of thinking, that are odious and intolerable to the Aus trians. We have the misfortune to be a constitu tional peopie, and to enjoy the liberties of as sociation and the press. For them qualities Louis NAPOLEON dreads and Prince SCHWAIIELNDESO detests us. But how is this to be remedied What is. Lord lisietzestrar do in the business but make lame owns for what he may not admire, bat owed prevent ? In the despatch recently published of Prince BOHWAIZENDEIIO to Lord OItANTILLE, it is plainly acid that if the British government does not make use of all the legal means in their power to render innoxious the Austrian refugees, the Austrian go vernment will torment and persecute English travel lers in the Austrian dominions. This Moment threat has reference no doubt to the expected return of KOSSUTH to this country. If you do get gag KOSSUTH, threatens Prince SCUWAIIMIIIIII3IO, molest and imprison all the 011/111111 and com mercial English who venture We Bohemia, visit Views, or go to see pictures or gondolas at Venice. The llntes proposes a ready remedy for this, which is, that Englishmen should stay at home; if I7do Fa abroad, that they omit Austria the enetian territoriee from their route, consoling themselves with the hope that there's a good time coming, when a Moral Austrian minister may rise to power, who may not make it his business or his policy to persecute Englishmen. We do not think that JOHN BULL, young or old, will be much inclined to take this hint, or respect this interdiction. They will venture to Venice or to Carlsbad, and they will prefer the Trieste route, by which they escape quarantine, to any other. Besides, if Scnwsnzenseno suc ceeds in deterring En glishmen _ from going amongst his subjects, Louis NAPOLEON will try the same, and then we shall be fairly expelled from the conti nent and be banished not merely from the remote Vienna, but the neighbouring Palais Royal. Bon lagne will become forbidden ground. And English men will be condemned to the peUem forte et dare of spending their money at home. We doubt much our countrymen's submission to sod severity se this. We should soon have associa tions for opening the continent, and instead of put beg down KOSSUTH and Louts BLANC:by such wane, they would become the most popular men in !legland,—and not all the KALIIESBURTS in Down -street could quell them. • however, is not so personal or so full of pique es Austria. And Lord DEIST may , hope that by means of that Hussite alliance what he once repudiated and despised, he may secure England, and all that England holds dear on this side the Rhine. But Russia abhors constitutional governments, and is resolved to tolerate them no more. It has set up the antagonist principle of leOtimmey and divine right, and evidently deems that no other ballet* can brave the this of revolution. Loris Narottox has not won Russian favour, because Russia sees the BONAPAIZZ throes based upon force alone, aid not epos any principle that weld ; mem the rapist of the people, or retain that of the army.

And all this sacrifice of efficiency is made just to be able to "show off" on Woolwich Common, previously—mss Sir CHARLES NAN= well says—to enjoying champagne luncheons. Upwards of some dozen companies of men are re tained at Woolwich, to guard our arsenal; a duty which the sentries in Portsmouth dockyard could do jest as well, yet by keeping the stores and at Woolwich we withdraw twelve him cilall ed i efficient men from oar cast defences. Yet session after session sees the representative of the Ordnance, get op in his place in the house, and congratulate the nation on the efficiency of the artillery. The proposal to add one thousand men to the artillery looks like an addition to our means of de heeding England. Do not let the people be too ,sisre of this. This additional thousand men is to glee, we are told, ten extra men for each com pany;—but half the artillery companies are serving abroad, • fact which we can scarcely suppose the seinistry to have been ignorant of when their plan we mode known. Consequently, our thousand men way,—so far as force in England is concerned, — be, in reality, only half that number. The chief opposition to potting the regiment on a proper hada( arises from the difficult y of coining to any agreement as to how promotion should be given to the Asia in the higher ranks,—a consideration crelsielly ef some weight, and, which, unless duly maim" would give, or rather does give, us others whit Sea lie and debility are totally unfitted for soulad.

La Franc. Nopeldenitisse states that there is an incessant intension* of despatches between Paris and Vienna os the subject of Germany and Italy. In face of a Wry stidetry in England the French government will of cause seeks the most disparate efforts to captivate Austria.

The revolution of February inter rupted the works, but the company is now willing to continue them provided the government allows it the same delay as has been granted by the Belgian government for the construction of the part of the line which runs through the Belgian territory, namely, to December 31, 1854. The minister recom mends to have the delay in question accorded. A decree from the President of the Republic follows, aproviag of the decree, and ordering its suggestions to be atrisd out. To-day the walla of the capital are covered with placards of different shades of yellow, containing what is called 1. pegfoosiost de joi of the various can didates for the electoral districts of Paris. It is to be remarked that among dues figure the addresses of the opposition candidates. M. Mortimer Ternaux, the independent candidate of the god dikrict, opens his address with wards equally bold and apt. "We live" says he, "in a time when words and • mean nothing."

The Sleek, by the way, has ceased to republish its republican list. M. de Maupas, Minister of Police, has given notice that the vier which is necessary to authorise the printing of every placard, will be refused to those prin ters who undertake to print any pro/swam de jos of banished candidates. The following is an extract from M.

AU intercourse between the military frontier and Lower Bosnia has been broken according to the latest accounts. No sooner does an Austrian subject, even a " pedlar or a woodman," get beyond the lines, than he is marched back again under a strong escort. The French government has forwarded instruc tions to its minister, to represent to the imperial cabinet, that the duties on many French articles im ported into Austria have been materially increased by the provisions of the new tariff. The Lloyd, which it is customary to regard as the especial organ of Prince Schwanenberg, says: "The new military levies which are being raised by the British government, have caused considerable sensa tion both in and oat of England, especially since they have become connected w ith th e recen t declara tion of the Prime Minister, that there exist so many causes which might draw England into a quarrel." We must acknowledge that there appear many weighty considerations for such a determination, however they may be forgotten in a superficial par liamentary debate, and hidden from the understand ing of the public at large. However loud the trumpet of alarm may sound, it is only necessary to cast a glance at the state of the continent to see that the preservation of peace is of far too great and universal importance not to be the object of every care and anxiety. We know no power, not excepting France, which has anything to gain by the disturbance of peace in Europe, still less by a dispute with the immense naval power of the British Islands. Above all, there are so many earnest questions to be decided, such a necessity for friendship and co-operation among European nations, that they present good security for the continuance of peace. We shall see if England herself means to join sincerely in the efforts being made by other states to preserve it. So much is certain, that power which shall first trouble the peace of Europe, whether from selfishness or ambition, will have a heavy responsibility in the eyes of unbiassed history, and will have injured some of the weightiest interests of humanity. In consequence of an order from the Minister of Commerce all the telegraphs are taken under the direction of government, and will be in future managed by the Post-office ; so that there is an end of them for all newspaper P Government is resolved on eom u i r le °s. tlng its insult to Hungary, by erecting a monument at Temeswar, in commemoration of the campaign of 1849, an event, ono would think far better forgotten, for the peace of the country. The monument is, however, to be erected under the especial patronage of the Emperor, and the sculptor, Kranner, is to receive 40,000 or about 4,0001. sterling, for its execution. The government have directed an increase in rail way fares, on account of the depreciation of the cur rency, and the consequent high prices. Telegraphic despatches have been received by the government, stating that on the Bth inst. two tri coloured flags of the Italian republic were planted in the public thoroughfares, and cockades of the same character were everywhere distributed. At Ban Marino and Spoletto similar demonstrations took Place- BERLIN. Psit. 23. _ The news of Lord John Romell's resignation has eased here less sessation than that of Lord Palmer alse's did. Everybody felt that the whir party's lease wne out, and that they would be glad of an opportu nity to quit oMoe and take with them the reform bill, which, amended and enlarsed, will now be a weapon d reel service.

The Ger mans always imagine British diplomacy to be pur suing deep-laid plans, with a total absence of regard for any amount of human suffering ensuing. The Exam Zahn's states, on the authority of credible private information, that agents of the French government are actively buying up horses in Hanover and Holstein, and sending them by railway to France. The proposed new law for organising communities contains clauses opposed to the provisions of the con stitution. To-day, a motion in the First Chamber that these discrepancies be first discussed, before the bill be allowed to proceed, was violently opposed by M. von Gerlach, who maintained that, according to section 107, alterations of the constitution are to take place in the ordinary course of legislation, whisk signifies that the laws passed on ordinary subjects may contradict and incidentally change the constitu tion to any extent. Express laws for changing the constitution, he said, form extraordinary legislation; and the proposal to let the bill in question rest, for the make of debating on general constitutional prin ciples, would be a disorderly course. The cavaliers do not lack ingenuity in picking holes in the charter. Dr. Klee is determined not to be outdone as an advo cate of exclusiven. se and intolerance; he has to-day proposed in the First Chamber to suppress the liberty of conscience, which is inscribed in the constitution. According to the terms of his proposition, persons not belonging to one of the Christian churches re cognised by the state, should be excluded from public functions. In the Second Chamber government presented to-day the additional convention concluded between Belgium and the Zollverein, and the President took that occasion to deny the rumours of an immi nent prorogation, which have been current for the last week in Berlin. The royal message relative to the constitution of the Upper Chamber was drawn up to-day in a coun cil of ministers, at which the King was present. The new project of a constitution for the grand Daehy of Oldeaburg has just been submitted to the A short time ago the police of Munich seized some ' journals of that city, for having published a report of the proseedings of the Bavarian Chamber. An ap placation was at the same time made for the prose cution of the editors, but the tribunal of Munich ha. rafted to tab the affair into consideration. On the 19th the Municipal Tribunal at Hamburg commenced the trial of the editor of the Melo/tato ?Ades journal, prosecuted at the request of the French gmemment, for having, by articles and sor er :: insulted the President of the French bile, France being at the time in alliance with the ado Towns. The defendant _pleaded that, as the go vernment of Prince Louis Napoleon had not at the time been officially recognised by foreign powers, he could not, according to the treatise of Vlachs, be re garded as an ally of Germa. The tribunal has taken time to no its j udgment. Letters from Switserland speak of a second French note, repeating the demand contained in the flint, and asserting the right of France to indicate re fugees for expulsme, which she requires shall take place aa a matter of course. WEST INDIA AND THE PACIFIC MAILS. We add the following items to our telegraphic summary of yesterday Martinique and Guadeloupe papers, which have reached us to the latest dates, are chiefly occupied with the addresses of felicitation and adhesion to the government of Louis Napoleon. The islands were in • state of tranquillity, though it had been found necessary to issue very strong orders, warning the populace against suffering themselves to be betrayed into any demonstrations of feeling adverse to the recently developed views of Louis Napoleon.

There were four men-of-war in the harbour of St. Pierre, Martinique, viz.: the frigate Sibylle, the steamers Crocodile and Milan, and the brig Olivier. The St. Lucia PaLadium gives the subjoined in formation from that island: The new year has been ushered in with a good deal of rein—more than suits the arrangements of the planters at this season. It has thrown them considerably behind in their manufacturing operations. Upon many of the plantations the pressure of circumstances has forced on the beginning of the crop; but where it can be afforded to wait till the canes are at to yield a greater quantity of sugar the planters take good care to avoid sacrifice, and to bestow their attention on the growing crops and the preparation of their works. The crop of 1862 promises to be large, though it is very doubtful how far it will prove remunerative, when the low prices at home and the want of cheap and continuous labour in the colony are considered. We have had some boisterous weather, too, by which the droghing vessels have been lacked in at the *abbeys, a that the ships in port receive their cargoes but slowly. Shocks of an earthquake had been experienced in Antigua and St. Rift's. The Antigua Weekly Register of January 27, has the following :—" The weather continues showery. In the windward part of the island, towards Belfast Division, there have been seasonable showers both for planting and other purposes ; but in the more central districts heavy rain is much .required. The difficulty of ob taining labour is sadly felt in many places." The St. Vincent's, Barbadoes and Trinidad jour nals are destitute of news of importance.

ABRAHAM CLARKS, an eminent merchant of Newport, in the hle of Wight, has caused much surprire and regret, as he was one of the most respected and reputed wealthy men in the island. Mr. Clerks was one of the first committee of the celebrated Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, and was associated with the first men in the kingdom. An attempt was made by an individual to oust him from the committee, ' on account of his being • unitarian, but it wu frustrated by Lord (then Mr.) Brougham. This affair was much talked of at the time, on account of the fright the bigoted individual was thrown into by the castigatton he received from Mr. Brougham. When Lord Brougham was Lord Chancellor he was in the habit of visiting the Isle of Wight, and always used to call on Mr. Clarke, for whom he felt melt respect.
