the chairmen of his committ e, would be the last persons to know anythine shout them. Mr. HOBROUSE refused to be bound by the principle en whims the bun. and learned gentleman (tee Solicitordaim w elt would include Lincoln in the bill. He had been re turned at the smallest pantile cost for the city of Lincoln, and be believed that there never was an election where greater purity and propriety prevailed. That consideration sloes should weigh with the house in excludine Lincoln from the schedule, even if Lincoln hod before that been guilty. It was In his opinion higiily unjust to adopt a retrospective principle in the bill. There was no objection to the taming of the writ in tt e case of Lincoln as in the ease of Horsham, and pl ace e considered masa distinction in favour of the for mer lf his hon. and gallant colleague divided the truss he should divide with him. Mr. BROTHERION said that the boo. gentleman who had just spoken had moved too much ; for if Lincoln was so pure as he represented , there could be no fear from any in quiry. If be undenitociet the ease of Lincoln, Mr. Seely, the late member, was unseated for practices which the hon. and gallant member had prectiseil, and said he would continue to practise. On the :core of justice, therefore, he thought that an toiletry should take place. Atter a few words tram Col. 3161110 RP, the committee divided. For retaining Lincoln in the schedule.. 69 Againstl3—,s6 Lincoln was accordingly inserted, as were Leicester, Lyme Risen and Bewelley. On the motion that Harwich be inverted, Mr. BAGSHAWE said that he might use every argument which had bet n used in the case of Lincoln, in favour of the borough of Harwich, but he thought he wouti best consult the credit of his borough by courting inquiry. (lieu.) On the ,ention vuit Aylesbury he inserted, Lord NUGENT said that he was sure he was only repre meting the cordial wishes of those who elected him, in giving his assent to the insertion of Aylesbury. (Hear, hear.) He could bear testimony to the pure manner in which both the Tepee-tentative.. of Aylesbury had been sent to that house. Mr. NEWDEGATE suggested that as the noble lord was so anxious for inquiry, Aylesbury should be pet first in the Schedule. Mr. Q. DICK thought inquiry would bo of great ear vice, and was sure it would be for the morality of the borough that it stipule be thoroughly and radically re formed. (Hear, hear.) Mr. DISRAELI was not even aware that Aylesbury wee included in the schedule, and he was struck with sur prise at the two speeches he had just heard from the membeis of the town of the county which he represented. Suet maudlin sensibility m considered an impeachment a fortu nate occurrence he could certainly not utiderstand. His boo. friend who spoke last certain!) , had no reason to make the speech he had delivered, and he must attribute its delivery to the fact of his oratorical experience being con siderably less th n his parliamentary. (A laugh.) As tor the electors of Aylesbury he (Mr. Disraeli) cared very Attie for them. Being people of very little minds, who were advo. cites of leieralism and not of liberty, they were generally opposed to him. (A laugh.) But Aylesbury was an old Engliah borough, and he believed, upon his honour as a gen tlemno, that it was as puce as any borough in the empire, and that a bribe had never been offered within its extensive bounds. (Laughter and cries. of " Oh.") He utterly pro- tested against the two speeches just made. They were not justified. They were outrages against the borough. Did the het. inemb.a behind him consider his speech a recom atradation to the hustings on a future oce,sion ? As for the noble lad he was the victim of a too pellucid sentimentality. ("Hear," and a laugh.) He protes , ed against the legi-lation of cant, and he charged the members for Aylesbury with not doing their duty. Lord NUGENT said he should very briefly reply to the not over-weighty charge which hod just been brought against him. He scarcely knew whether his sentimentality was " maudlin " or " pellucid," but certainly it did not arise from tee same feeling as the sentimentality of the hon. gen tleman who thought Aylesbury ought to be exempted from inquiry because it was an ancient borough. He did not Im peach his constituents Ile did precisely the reverse. He courted the inquiry, in order to clear his constituents, and he hoped the inquiry into their conduct would be made with the most stringent severity, which was the only way in which such an itivedieation could be use ful. Mr. Q. DICK felt the attack made upon him Dad been quite uncalled for. He was coo fident that this borough would Coin , CI. Sr. out of the tire of the investigation. Mr. NEWDEOATE said this debate was taking an ex traoidivary turn—nothing less than an impwation on the committee abide unseated the late member for the borough of Aylesbury. Tnc only object the present members could have would be to reverse the ele.cioion. The question was then put sod carried. Cceitenhem, Sligo, and Loceaster were respectively added to the schedule without observation. On the quedion that Bodmin be added, Mr. WILD said it was nth until the eleventh hour that this borough, in the kindne es of her Msjesty'a Solintor- General to oee of the supporters of the government, had been added to the schedule appended to this hill. For his own part he had no objection to inquiry ; but that Bodmin should be aided at the lest moment to a schedule which had a preamble imputing bribery and corruptiou to the electors was not to be borne. The re was net an item of evidence to judify such a s rereading. The BOLICITOR.OENERAL owned he did net thi , k the cue of Bodeen a very Jerome one; hut it had been sub ject to a special n rt, and wheiever such special report was made he had thought it right to put the borough into the schedule of the bill. Mr. DISRAELI saw by the discussion which had taken place that there was one object in the bill—namely, to de cide to which side of the house the member 4 or Bodmin be longed. (Laughter.) Surely, Mr. Solicitor General ought to be ashamed of himself to include in this bill a borough re presented by such a member. As far the bill itself it seemed to him to be essentially a miseraele, hypercritical, lying, canting bill. Such a wretched pretence of purity as be had been wits sit to that night he could not have believed poen. ble—a Solicitor-General getting up and admitting that it wu " a weak ease." Why, who doubted it was weak ; and there were other things weaker than the bill. (A laugh.) What an idea must the country entertain of a government that vied proeuce such a bill. Col. SIBTHORP said, if the member for Bodmin (livid el, be should divide with tens against this dirty bill. (A laugh.) Mr. LACY said he never ':as more surprised than when, on Friday last, having returned from the sea side, where he had been with a rich relation—(laughter)—he heard that Bodmin was to he included in this but. Never was a man who deserted a petite n fleetest his return 1, as than he did. Wont was his connexion with Bodmin? Last year he went down there to a dinner connected with a railway transaction. He was well recAved, and in May last he sent a friend down to s,e bow the land lay. He reported that Mr. Wyld was amusing with success, and that if he wished to get in he must start at once. Well, he went down, and he got, not many promises he admitted, but a great many people add, " Why, we don't know who is coming." (Shouts of laughter.) "We don't know," they said, " who IS cocain ; but we can tell you this—that we ere not goioe to have our present members again. Doe (Sir S. Spry) is a fool, and the other (Mr. Gardner) is en impostor." Well, he (Mr. Lacy) was returned, and what foJored—that he was badgered and bothered out of his lite about this trumpery petition, which turned simply upon the cirmenstance of some of his committee, without his know ledge, collecting 201. to give some of the poorer voters a treat. This was not a Care for inquiry, and he dared them to proceed further against him in the matter. He said " dare," because he telt strongly on the subject, and that he ad mitted. the SOLICITOR-GENERAL said he had included all boroughs in the bill in which there was treating, without re fer. nee to the am 'Lint. Mr. LACY sa .1 the treaty at Berlmin was not for corrupt purposes; that was proved before the committee . ELLIOT said lie really had doubts about this case. It append a very weak one. Mr. BANKES piked if this bill was to he passed to meet " weak cases." If the members for Bodmin stood by their borough as they ought he should vote with teem. Wao it worth *hie to bring in a hill to prevent the supply of these trumper: refreshment tickets Mr. G. TURNER also opposed the introduction of Bed. min into the schedule. Ile would never mins?nt to intro duce any men respecting which the evidence was not before them. the SOLICITOR GENERAL said he had included Bodmin and Bolton b ith, in consequence of what appeared he be the desie• of the house. Mr HENLEY denied the accuracy of the statement that Bodmin had be. n included) in the schedule at the instance of the opposition side of the house. Dr. BUWRINO end that it had been the general opinion of both sides of the house that any borough against which bribery and corruption had been shown should be included in t.e schedule of this bill. Fur his own part, he should be periwig ready to vote for the insertion of Bolton in the meedult were it shown that Bolton was tainted with ear neMstr. /M. E. TURNER considered that the hon. member for &emits was chug able with no impropriety for having pre sented imps to the Literary Institution of Bodmin. Col. SIB l'llUltP thought it clearly evident that the noble lard opposite, and indeed the Solicitor-General himself, knew nothing of the evidence taken in the matter before the house. He denounced the hell as characterised by gross partiality—the measure should he one of general application, and such a measure he would be ready to support. He re commended the toble lord to entertain second thoughts ace ' the question, and to abandon the measure altogether. Mr. DISRAELI repudiated the principle that two boroughs having been in ertee in a schedule tike this were all at once to be quietly emitted from the schedule, just because the sitting members emphatically reminded the government of the LW tle.y have given to their measures. If these boroughs had been fitly inserted, they should have been retained. After what had occurred the government ought to explain its motives for withdrawing Bohm and Bodmin, and the ru fous far continuing Lancaster and Sligo in the disfranchising schedule. The strange confessions from the treasury bench of that evehin g ought to induce the committee to Mist upon the chairman reporting progress, in order to give the Soli citotGenerel time to mature his measure, and for the pur pose of affording the hon. and learned member this oppor tunity he begged leave to move that the chairman do report progress The question being put from the chair, Load J. RUS - ELL said he could not but admire the tam fire of the opposite side, which we re at once new and thge aloes. It had termed a ground of complaint on a former evenii . g that there was no recognised leader of the opeoution wbo might organise, and control the novemeats of hon. members on the other side of the house. But a better plan had been devised by them—that of Invitee two leadors taki g opposite views of the same question and proposing different plans. One of those leaders in the pre , Sent instance had asked why Bodmin had not been included 1 in the Schedule , as there had been a report of a comm ittee 'gamut it. The suggestion being adopted, up got the hon. THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 11, 1848. Mr. SPOONER hoped the second reading would not be objected toes the bill was merely intended to remove doubts which had arisen in the construction put on the provisions of the act of 1848. Mr. CLEMENTS said if tbe bill removed all doubts he should not object, but the bill would not produce that effect. After a few wends from Mr. C. Anstey, Mr. Henley, Mr. C. Buller, and Msjor BI &all, the bill was read a mond time. FISHERIES (IRELAND) BILL. On the bringing up the report on this bill, a variety of verbal alterations and amendments were proposed by Sir W. Somerville, Col. Dunne, Mr. Frewen, Mr. Mansell, and Mr. Amite v. Some of them gave rise to considerable ditcussion. Ultimately the report waa r•ceived. NEW BILLS. Leave was given to introduce the following bills, which were brought in and read a first time : On the motion of Mr. F. MAULE, a bill to amend the acts for rendering effective the service of the Chelsea and Greenwich out-pensioners, and to extend them to the pensioner of the Esat.lndia Com pany. On the motion of S.r W. Sosienvittn, a bill to amend and continue for a limited time an act to make provi sion for the treatment of poor persons afflicted with fever in Irelend ; and a hill for the appointment of additional taxing masters for the High Court of Chancery in Ireland. The hones adjourned at a quarter to two o'clock. member for Donetshire, who said he was prepared to show that Badman had been included in the schedule on light grounds, which the evidence would not justify, and the hon. members around him (Mr. G. Bank's) supported his asser tion. On looking at the report, his hon. and learned friend had found that there was no charge against the sitting mem ber for Boutin, or the electors, of bribery; and haring ad mitted that it was too light a case to justify its insertion in the schedule, he withdrew it. Then up got the ether leader of the opposition, who mid that the government was actuated by corrupt motives, for they had only removed Bolton and Bothnia from the schedule, because the sitting members voted for them to all occa.ious. Observe only the admirable tactics of the opposite side in thus dealing with the question! But the manner of so treating . it th^wed the advantage of having two leaden et the opposition. The hon. member for Buckinghamshire had characterised the bill as the last act of a melodrama, closing the session in a shower of sparks and blue flames. But it would rather teem that the hon. member for Dorsetshire and himself had been study ing their parts In a comedy, the dialogue of which had been settled in a friendly conversation before the curtain had drawn up that evening. He was quite sure the hon. member for Buckinghamshire would be prepared to express his indig nation at the omission of the borough of Bodmin, or is sur prise at its restoration to the schedule, according to the pre. concerted scheme of the play in which he was to take part (Laughter.) The hon. member for Oxfordshire, en the other hand, was of opinion that the government ought to have gone through the evidence in all the casts reported to the house, and, disregarding the reports, have selected such boroughs only as were most culpable. But let the house only conceive what the result of such a course would have been. The government would have immediately been accused of having made a selection of Isoroughafor dig (ranch iAt scent upon party m gives, whilst the hon. member for Oxford shire, with hischaracteristic ingenuity, would have )got a theme to argue upon which would have lasted him a year at the least. (Cheers and laughter.) If the government had fallen into the trap prepared for them by the hon. member for Oxfordshire. he would have been delighted to have Tor mented them, and he would never have let them out. The government had, however, escaped this snare. They had been guilt d by the reports of the cow minces, and whether the casts of bribery and corruption were great or small those reports had formed the basis as well of the hill as in drawing op the schedule, end the suggestions of the various commit. tees had been carefully followed. He bad heart nothing during the tong discussions which had taken place on the Inll t 2 shake his opinion that the government was bound to carry it into operation, and, in fact, parliament had to a great i.egree pledged itself to do so. It the principle embodied in the measure came fairly into operation, hon. meM.wrs on the other side would hod in the end that they would derive as much benefit from its provi sions as any other party in that house. Mr. HENLEY said that the government had treated the elective franchise with great levity in consenting to insert Bodmin in the schedule upon the mere suggestion of au hon. member on his side of the house, and without having made any inquiry as to the degree of guilt incurred by that borough. Dr. BOWRING could not consent, particularly after what bad just occurred, that Hutson should be withdrawn from the bill. (A laugh.) He sincerely and cordially desired that inquiry should take place at Bolton. (Hear, hear.) Col. THOMPSON was of opinion that the withdrawal of these two borough. from the bill might hereafter, form the plea that treating wss not a thing that house could take cognisance of ; and as he and those with whom he acted on that side of the house, and he hoped many on the other side, coasidered that treating was identical with bribery, he could not consent to their withdrawal. After a lew words from Mr. SPOONER, who objected to the motion for reporting progress, and from Mr. G. A. Ha an :MI, who supported it with the view of giving the go vernment time to reconsider the evidence respecting these two boroughs, Lord J. RUSSELL said that the government would not adopt any other course than they were pursuing that night, and therefore reporting progress could only have the effect of prolonging the session. After a few words from Mr. HEALD in favour of excluding Bodmin, The committee divided—For reporting progress 35 Against it Mr. DISRAELI repelled the charge that he or his friends were the ativocates et corruption, and accused the govern ment of not knowing their own minds by introducing Bud min ints the bill and then withdrawing it. He was not the advocate of cerrioion—he did not owe his position is the house to corruption ; but he was the opponent of cant, and, , - amongst other kinds of cant, that which complained of the ' time taken up in discussions like these as the hon. member for Stockport had complained. (Hear, hear.) What had saved Bodmin but discuaion ? (Hear, hear.) And when the consequences of discussion had been, as it had been that night, to occasion a change in the opinion of government, he would protest against any attempt to prevent it. Mr. T. HO BM/USE—It appeared that the principle that the inquiry should extend only to those boroughs against which special reports had been presented by the select com mitts up stairs was now to be abandoned. He wished to know why Horsham, which had never been convicted of bribery, was to be included its the schedule. Ile called an the Solicitor• General to state on what principle tit, schedule was to be based.—whether it was proof of bribery, or whether mere treeing was to be sufficient ? lie, as a mem. ber for one of the amused boroughs (Lincoln), was not pre pared, like the hon. member for Bolton, to throw his con stituency overboard. Until the principle on which the bill was to proceed was distinctly laid down, he objected to pro ceed fur-her with it. The SOLICITOR GENERAL hoped he should be ex cused going into a discussion over and over again, es to the propriety of the withdrawal of Bodmin from the schedule, upon which the house had unanimously decided; and when the hon. member for Bucks rose to speak, the chairman stated that the question was already decided, and two hours had been sine • occupied uselessly. lie would not take up the time of the house by attempting to repel the chsrgcs brought against him by the hon. member for Bucks, but would leave it to the house t say how far by his emelt:Let, since he had been a member, he bad deserved them. (Hear, hear.) He e ntre.ted the notate to proceed with the discussi on on the hill, avoiding personal attacks. (Hear.) Mr. DISRAELI repeated teat in this case discussion had been of use, and charged the Solicitor-General with having misrepresented the real facts of the case. After a few w-ads from the Solicitor• General, Cul. Sib. thorp, and Dr. Bowring, Mr. HOBHOUSE complained that no anew. r had been given to his question as to the principle of the bill. Lord J. RUSSELL had already detailed the principle of the bill at length—which was that the reports of committees should be the only thing to be attended to, but that the general substance of those reports should be the guide, and when the substance showed considerable bribery or corrup- tion had prevailed, those boroughs should be included in the schedule Mr. WYLD wished to say that he had supported the go. ernment not in consequence of say compact with them, but because he agreed with their general policy. It was not on the ground of his being a supporter of government that they hail consented to withdraw Bodmin from the schedule. After en observation from Col. Stninoicr, Lord J. RUSSELL said that when he proposed that the chairman should leave the chair, he did so with a view that the amendments might be brought up and printed. Mr. HANIILION asked would there be any objection to insert Bolton in the bill ? Lord J. RUSSELL did not mean to insert B lton ; but it was quite open to any hon. member to move its insertion. Copt. HARRIS o`jected to the bill as despotic in its cha racter, and calculated to convert that house into a judicial tribunal. He thought that they were exceeding their powers in passing such a law. The borough of Bodmin was then struck out of the schedule. Mr. M'KENZIE moved that Bolton be inserted. Mr. G. A. HAMILTON seconded the motion. lie thought it only just that Bolton should be inserted, as there was a wide distiection between it and Bothnia, in which case no bribery had been proved. The committee divided—For the motion Against l4-104 The borough of Bolton was then inserted, the house re suropil,•and the repsrt was brought up. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL moved that the bill be re committed for the purpose of being reprinted. MeNEWDEGATE asked if Sligo and Lancaster were in serted in the schedule ? SOLICITOR-GENERAL: Yes. The bill was then reutimmitted, the amendments were agreed to, and the report was ordered to be brought up on Thursday next. _ _ SUGAR DUTIES. In answer Lewd G. I3CNTIMCK, Llid J. RUSSELL was inclined to name Wednesday tnt for the sugar duties. After a conversa NAVY tion Frid ay ESTI was MATES. fixed for the discimion. In answer to Col. Lord J. RUSSELL stated that he would take the navy esti notes at 12 to-day ; and, if they had been gont through, the miscellsneous estimates at five. FEES (COURT OF CHANCERY) BILL. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL moved the second reading of this hill. Mr. GOULBURN opposed the bill. He pat it to the hon. and learned gentleman whether it would not be better to adopt the arrangement which had already been carried out in the Irish c ourts, than to propose an entirely new principle. The bill gave unheard-of powers to the Lord Chancellor, which usurped the authority of the treasury,' and would lead to the greatest anomal7 . and inconvenience. He advised the hon. and learned Solicitor-General to with draw this bill and adopt the principle cit the meuure which had been adopted for the courts in Ireland, and worked bene , acidly in that e untrv. I The SOLICITOR GENERAL said that the courts here were in a different pos to that in which the courts of Ireland were at the time on the paving the act referred to. There most of the officers of the court had been paid by fees, and here very few officers were remunerated by fees, but re- ceived fixed salaries. He admitted that the plan of this bill was not matured, but hoped it would be allowed a second reading, and in committee the measure might be made Mr. HENLEY would not object to the second reading, but held that the measure required much alteration and modification. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL supported the bill, the principle of which had, he b-lieved, been approved by the select committee on fees in courta of law. Mr. GOULBURN would not further object to the second reading, but reserved to himself the right to take any course he might think proper in the next stage of the bill. The bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Friday next. POOR REMOVAL (No. 2) BILL.

The wave of popular s.volution that swept over Europe in the months of March and February, is already on the re coil, and fast upon it follows the terrible reaction of military and despotic conquest. For a few short weeks the liberal mind was allowed to indulge in dreams of European regeneration. It saluted the ad vent of German freedom, of Italian independence. A third of Europe seemed to grasp the tights of political manhood hitherto denied them, and promised to become free-thoughted, free-spoken constitution alists, claiming the sympathy and relationship, be cause following the example, of Englishmen. Three hopes have been cruelly disappointed. An Austrian army has overcome the gallant but ill directed efforts of the champion of Italian indepen dence, and has thereby placed in the Emperor's hand a ready instrument for the restoration of his leaden rule, not only south but northward of the Alps. In Prussia the monarch keeps his army concentrated in hostile separation from his capital, and there too the signal for military reaction given in the south, will inevitably be followed. Whilst this combined plot is in progress of develop ment, a comedy is enacting at Frankfort to amuse and lull the dreaming liberals of central Germany. And noble and honourable men, even princes, are put lee ward as the unconscious actors in this play ; one which, when it is acted out, the curtain of old n.o narchic despotism is to fall, and Europe is to become at the close of 1818, precisely the same night-mare ridden victim that the commencement of this same eventful Tear found it. The glee and exultation of the tories as each por tion of liberated Europe is driven back into its old fetters, and into the night of its hereditary dungeon, are quite wonderful. The resuscitation of the Holy Alliance, the success of its principles and aims, are haiied with fond acclamation. ltAiinTzst is the hero of English choice. His brute proclamation to the Lombards—more worthy of the sixteenth, than the nineteenth century—is quoted as the true language of the hero. And one would think were the English press to be taken as the reflection of the English mind, that its 84 ntiments were those of horror for human emancipation, and of adoration of the most brutal and despotic principles of govern ment. Why, this is infinitely worse and more disgraceful than the spirit which prevailed in the days of CAS TLEREAGH. There was then a liberal spirit even in the bosom of toryism ; and although some gloated then, as now, on the extinction of constitutional government, in Spain by France, and in Italy by Austria, we still had a CANNING to prote,t, and at all events the majority of the British press would have'' blushed to uphold in 1823 the principles and the champions whose cause it espouses in 1848. Are we to conclude that the liberalism of the English mind has retrograded during that quarter of a century to what it was halt a century before? For if the press is our thermometer, that is what it marks. We cannot believe it. The thermometer must be wrong. The English press mast be bi lying and betraying the sentiments and wishes of the people of England by expressing suct. sympathies, and exult ing in such events. And now that the stupid and sanguinary despotism of BABETTE' is re-established in Milan, the great and restless anxiety of Lord STANLEY and of the Times is, that a similar despotism may be re established, not only over the whole peninsula, but that it shall include Sicily also—Sicily, to which we guaranteed a free con stitution, and to which we foully broke our former pro misee. Atthe very ideaof the BOURBON tyrant of Naples I not being able to lay waste liberal Sicily with fire and sword, and to slaughter its population—conquer them he cannot—Lord STANLEY and the Times burst forth into the most pathetic lamentations. Why should FERDINAND, they say, not be indulged in his, butcherly inclinations? Why should not civil war be allowed to rage ? Why nave recommended the Sicilians to prefer monarchy to a republic ? For a re public would have been anarchy, and that anarchy, however productive of misery and bloodshed, would still have been more favourable to a restoration of the old BOURBON despotism, than if a regular and consti tutional monarchy were established. The British government has indeed no right to in terfer.., except by counsel and by remonstrance. It can have, and should have, no preference of one dynasty to another. It can have no interest, or desire. in seeing Sicily separated from Italy or from Naples. But e:ngland has not only an interest bat a duty in procuring for Sicily a constitutional government by every fair means. And it has also certain duties towards humanity in preventing, as far as remon strance can prevent, a merely wanton effusion of blood and gratification of vengeance on the part of the King of NAPLES, which could only have the effect of rendering any future reconciliation between him and the Sicilians impossible. We are scary to perceive that respectable statesmen and respectable journals, who once professed at least the semi-liberalism of Mr. CANNING, should so far lose sight of every liberal aim, as to uphold the cause of despotism and counter-revolution all over Europe. But we are still more sorry to see that in this they are the cat's-paws of a designing and restless family. Claremont is too near London. It is the suggestions and insidious inspirations of that subtle court, which we see breaking forth from the protectionists in both houses of parliament, and in the columns of the Times. The moment a BOURBON is menaced. whether in Spain or in Sicily, the old intrigues of the head of the ORLEANS family against the Foreign Secretary recom mence. Notes are interchanged, facts revealed, orators are crammed. Mr. BANEES against Mr. BULwER one day, Lord STANLEY against Lord PALMERSTON another. There is, in fact, a BOURBON league in this country, every Coblentz of diplomacy, working in our press and in our parliament, against any liberal efforts that may be made on behalf of either Spanish or Italian or French constitutional freedom The organ of this league informs us, that if England throw any obstacles in the way of a marauding ex pedition against Sicily, the court of Naples will declare war against us. The idea could of itself have never germed in his poor Neapolitan Majesty's head. But it is just the one that would be suggested to him by traitors and conspirators here, by foreign exiles who do not blush to intrigue against the liberal in terest and government of the land which harbours them, and by renegade Englishmen, who would sell their country, embroil its peace, and embarrass its rulers, for the mere gratific/tion of a factious speech or a party triumph. General NARVAEZ would never have dared to outrage England in the person of its envoy, but for the suggestions and support of such ecomplices. And the war (bless the mark !) to be declared by Naples against England, is a weapon from the same forge, a similar result of rancorous and traitorous faction. It is possible that the Holy Alliance may triumph. It is possible that we may very soon see Prince METTERNICH resume his paternal rule not only over Vienna, but over Milan and Naples. It is possible that his ally, M.OUIZOT, may stretch the hand to him from the Seine, and whilst METTERNICH gensd'armes Italy and Sicily, the French restored minister may put down the few sparks of independence remaining in Switzerland and Spain. All this is possible, and we certainly cannot interfere with arms or force to prevent it: for non-intervention is our mottc. But if we have not the right, or the spirit, or the power to prevent this universal and disgraceful re sumption of despotism, let us at least not demean our selves into being its abettors or accomplices, or even its flatterers. Our self-called leading journals may, indeed, disgrace the English nation and the English character by doing so; but we are confident that they are allowed to do this more by the apathy than by the assent of English opinion, which, if for a moment aware how much and how disgracefully it was thereby huini.iated and betrayed, would arouse and fling from its bosom the poisonous reptiles which it has unwarily allowed to creep into its confidence. ANOTHER night's debate about the Borough Elec tions Bill !—the night of the 10th of August, in the fourteenth month of this present parliament of Queen VICTORIA ! No wonder the house is disgusted as well as the country. No wonder Mr. DISRAELI, rather exceeding the bounds of the parliamentary proprie ties, is induced to describe the measure as a" miserable, canting, lying, hypocritical, puritanical abortion !" Who eould stand this meagre attempt to legislate for a great principle by such paltry means ? How pre vent the country from jeering the notion of making barristers' inquiries a snbetitute fur a speedy and efficient parliamentary reform? However, if members want inquiry, we are by no means anxious to prevent their having it. Probably, neither party will obtain one-half the advantage they expect from it. There was that Sligo compromise ease the other day, which was brought before parliament with a loud flourish of trumpets, and re ferred to a committee of privileges by general accla mation. Well, what came of it? The committee met with closed doors, in solemn state : they had in a dozen witnesses, who were shivering about the lobbies all the day before, looking as pale as Mr. Bass's beer is represented to be by several "members of the faculty." At last there came tripping up the stairs " a distinguished parliamentary agent . In he went ; out he came again presently with a smiling visage, and the public understood next morning, through " the usual channels of information," that the com mittee of privileges had found the facts alleged in the petition to be very much as they had been stated, but that they had also found, to use the cabalistic phrase ology of an ancient contributor to several morning journals, who attends Mr. WAKLEY'S inquests, " that not the slightest blame whatever could attach to any individual in particular !" It is probable, then, that these inquiries will end in disappointment if they ever begin at all, which, by the nay, is by no means so certain. There was a great deal of debate, but not much actual progress last night. Of course every member had something to say about his own town, and equally of course Mr. ANSTEY had a great deal to say (though there was but little in it), about every ore's borough, and a few 'other places aod things be,ides. This modest and inoffensive gentleman led off a long attack against Lord JOHN RUSSELL and the citizens of London. It appears from what we could gather from the hon. gentleman's somewhat incoherent state ments, that the noble lord went down to Cornhill with a number of refreshment tickets of the value of 61d. each, and dealt them out among the merchants at the hour of high change, making each promise to poll for him in return. It would appear, also, that be had an maims.' sary to play the same game on the Stock Exchange, where he, of course, was not permitted to enter per sonally ; thatthe lord mayor and corporation of the Efity were bribed with a refreshment ticket for a basin at mock turtle • and that every Lombard-street banker was promised a suck of a China orange by way of re freshment as he came up to the poll. Lord Joule RUSSELL, with much suavity, assured Mr. ANSTEY that these things had never occurred, and that he I never recollected having even heard of bribery and treating in London except from the hon. member him self. Mr. JOHN ABEL SMITH, who was chair man of the election committee, equally em phatically denied the imputations, and .Mr. Alder man HUMPHERY appeared to hear them with great indignation. Still, however, Mr. ANSTEY'S assertion remains on record; still, no doubt, Mr. URQUIIART credits it as implicitly as he believes Lord PALMERsTON to be a paid tool of the Czar; and the cne asserting and the other believing, how is the country to remain in doubt ? Poor Col. SISTHORP! He made so long a speech last night about Lincoln that one would think things were really getting serious with him, and that he was preparing for that tomb of his forefathers, in the crowded graveyard, of which he gave so pathetic a description the other night. Lincoln, despite all his exertions, is to be sub jected to inquiry. Mr. HOBHOUSE kicked hard against the pricks. He even went so far as to divide the hou,e, and he got 12 others to vote with him, the gallant colonel included. Mr. HoßuoesE's conduct on this matter is far more surprising to us than Col. SID.' THORP'S. If it be true, as is reported and believed.' that Mr. SEELEY, the late member for Lincoln, and his friends and constituents in the borough, desire' nothing more than full and complete inquiry into the matters alleged in the late petition and into the general practice attending elections in that town, why, certainly,. Mr. HOEMOUSE seems to be taking a somewhat singular—nrt to say suspicious— course. What can Mr. HOIMOUSE have to fear? were the Lincoln freemen his best friends last time ; 1 or is it that he minis upon their votes hereafter? If the latter suggestion be any key to his conduct, we may venture to I int to him that that game has been played in Lincoln before, and that "the trick was trumped." But if Mr. HOBHOUSE'S conduct was singular, what are we to say to the course pursued by Mr. QUINTIN DICK? Mr. HOBHOUSE is a very pure member : he never bribed a man in his life ; and yet be opposes inquiry. Mr. QUINTIN DICK makes no profession of any such purity, and yet he earnestly begs the house to investigate the state of Aylesbury, and is sure that the borough will be all the better for the investiga tion. Mr. DISRAELI takes him to task dread fully heretore. What in the werld, he says, is the hon. member driving at ? The Aylesbury electors are not to be sacrificed in this way. Mr. DICK is new to the county of Bucks, and new to the practice of parliamentary debate, though old enough, heaven knows, to the scene of it. Aylesbury, says Mr. Disittem, is an ancient borough. It did great things once. He can't say much for it now, but still it is not to be sacrificed, and therefore Mr. DISRAELI sacrificed poor innocent Mr. DICK instead. But Aylesbury was included in the schedule, despite all his efforts. Bodmin came next, and it wined not be doing justice to pass over without applause the manly de fence of that town by Mr. LACY, its senior representa tive. He carried the house with him, and any Bacons that may have attended the motion to expunge Bodmin from the list of towns to be examined must be entirely attributed to his bold and candid language. Poor Mr. WYLD did not come so well out of the fire, for, having described himself "as interested in pro moting the spread of geographical information, or some such bombast, instead of boldly saying he was a " mapeeller," Mr. DISRAELI undertook to baste and roast him, which he did se effectually, and so much to the amusement of his hearers, that if ever Mr. WYLD goes to Bodmin again, we venture to say he will find his way over the town without exhibiting the least anxiety to examine a map of it. If the borough members, however, were somewhat unuaccessful last night, certainly the government gained quite as little bycansing anutherentire evening to be devoted to this profitless discussion. It is quite lamentable to mark how little legislative power they seem to possess. Here they have been for months, keeping alive party excitement, prevent ing the healing of political wounds in the towns which they propose to subject to the operation of this measure; and yet they seem as far from car rying it as ever. At any rate there must be another night or two's debate l efore they can get it through the House of Commons ; and at this season of the year, that is far from a joke. FRANC:. PARTS, THURSDAY, II A.M. The results of the proceedings in the assembly yesterday have been of high importance. The project of law put forward by the government, in spite of an obstinate and animated resistance from the ultra democrats and members of the Mountain, led by M. Ledru Rollin, and brought up in the rear ' , y his satellite, M. Flocon, was adopted by a ma laity of 407 against 342. The duration of the w at present voted is limited to the Ist of May next, in which interval it is expected that the legis , ture will establish a permanent system of laws to regulate the press. The second incident of y, ster day produced a result in which all France, and indeed all Europe, will be interested. It has rendered the complete publication of the mass of evidence collected by the insurrec:ion committee inevitable. This measure was demanded equally as an act of justice to the committee and to the incul pated, but more than all it was demanded imperiously on the part of the entire country, which insists on having the veil raised from before that dwelt ma chinery by which the entire structure of society has been assailed at successive and almost regulated in tervals since 24th February. The incidents of yesterday completely frustrated this purpose, and no attempt was made, or will be `made, to prevent the complete disclosure of everything which the resew ches of the committee have elicited. The committee itself were desirous to suppress certain documents and depositions taken by them which, while they throw no direct light on the immediate subject of the inquiry, were likely to excite personal collisions between parties not contemplated by the inquiry: Against even this suppression the accused themselves raised their voices, and the ass nibly de clared that the documents and depositions should be published without exception, curtailment, or reserve. It is expected that they will be ready for distribution on Saturday. A measure has been adopted by Gen. Cavaignac, which has raised him very highly in the estimation of the moderate and conservative parties in parliament and in the country. It appears that some time since the president of the council put himself in com munication with the President of the Academy of Moral and Political Sciences, M. Charles Unpin, with a view to ask of the academy their active concurrence in the defence of society, against the attempts made to disorganise it by.the partisans of socialism and communism since the revolution of February. " The sword (said Gen. Cavaigaac) may temporarily repress disorder, but it is the pen and ideas only which can permanently triumph over the errors and sophisms by which society has been assailed." He proposed therefore that the academy, through the organ of its • moat eminent members. should investigate practically the questions raised by the socialists and communists, and should publish and circulate such reports and essays thereupon as they should think best calculated to in form and enlighten the public. In consequence of this one of their members, M. Blanqui, has been selected and commissioned by government to visit the chief seats of manufacturing industry, with a view to study the various questions which have been raised respecting the condition of the operative classes, and to allot such statistical and economical data as may afford the academy sure practical grounds for their reports. In accordance with the suggestions of Gen. Cavaig use the Academy has i ppointed a committee to deter mine upon the way in which the Academy can most effectually carry oat the designs of the chief of the ' executive. This committee is composed of MM. Toler', Cousin, Troplong, Blanqui, and Gustave de Beaumont. It has already recommended, and the Academy has accordingly resolved, that a series of pub lications shall be made by its several members. All the questions relating to the amelioration of the con dition of the operatives w . . 11 be successively treated by the most eminent members of the Academy. All the light of philosophy, history, moral science, legislation, and political economy, will be shed upon these difficult problems. Up to the evening of the 7th the military commis sion on the insurgents had decided the fate of 2,718 accused. Their decision was as fel:owe : acquitted and liberated, 1,396; to be transported, 1,206 ; to be sent before courts-martial, 116. Several of the Paris journals have raised the price of their subscription, that course be'ng rendered ne cessary by the great diminution in the receipts for ad vertisements in consequence of the stagnation of trade, and by their great expenditure. The Madrid mails of the sth have arrived. _ _ Leopold O'llonnel had arrived. il.;itinez de la Rosa left for Rome on the 3rd. . The failure of a great number of respectable houses had been announced within the few days preceding the date of our correspondent's letter. h 141111.10, Ave. s.—Three per Cents.. 194 4 meh ; after DA., 191 cub, 191 paper.

The enemy has, accord ing to the accounts 1 have received, retired part on Piacenza and part on Pavia. To-morrow I shall ad vance with the fourth corps to the Po, over against Piacenza, and with the first and second corps on the road from Pavia to the Lambro ; and I shall post the reserve corps to support the fourth at Caul Punter lengo. I have sent a flying party on the road to Pavia, news of which I have been expecting. Should the enemy, retiring by Pavia over the Ticino, and then by Mezzana Corti over the Po, have crossed the fron tiers out of Lombardy, I will then begin my march northwards by Nlelegnano towards Milan.— (Signed) RADETZKI." GERMAN Y. PRUSSIA.—We have news from Berlin to Aug. 8. Demonstrations in favour of German unity, and counter-demonstrations on the side of the partisans of Prussian exclusiveness, nocturnal assemblages in the noble Linden-etrasse, and the nightly dispersion of those assemblages by the "constables" and the civi guard, appear to be the chief occupations or amusements of the good people of Berlin. Meantime the constituent assembly, after being at work for some three months, ie amusing itself in its own way —the members bringing forward and listening to motions of a useless or absurd nature, instead of attending to the great affairs for which they were convoked, and for the settlement of which they are paid their three thalers (99.) per day. There are not wanting wags who hint that the prolongation of their pay is one of the main inducements for the honour able members to prolong their " labours." On one occasion only did they mani'est business-like despatch, and that was when they passed the law declaring that members of the chamber, after receiving promo tion in the service of the state, should be subjected to • new election. The discussion and voting of the bill only occupied fifteen minutes those fifteen minutes being the quarter of an hour before dinner. The potato disease has made its appearance in some parts of East Prussia and Westphalia. According to present arrangements the King, but not the Queen, will honour with his presence the ap proaching festival at Cologne. The Bourse, on the ith, continued to show signs of improvements, particularly in the railway quotations, and more especially . in the Potsdam and Magdeburg and the Upper Silesian. SUlSlA.—According to accounts from Schweid nits, up to the night of the 3ro inst., the soldiers had committed further excesses, having shot the wife of a publican, and two or three other persons. The greatest excitement prevails in that town, and in fact all through the province. The six members of the civie guard who were sh , .t at &hweidnitz by the military were interred a few days ago in the most solemn manner. The procession was composed of not len than 10,000 persons. The burgomaster has been obliged to resign. The commandant (the original cause of the disaster) will, it is said, be tried by court- martial. AUSTRIA.—A letter from Innepruck of the 4th instant, informs us that on that day the deputation from the Austrian Diet, with the president at its head, arrived there. It was positively stated that the return of the Emperor would take place on the 10th. _ . . . — The journals of the extreme left are beginning to discuss openly the question of a reg' ncy and the ta duction of the civil list. The walls of the public buildings are covered with placards denouncing the Innspruck Camarilla and the Jews. Italian, Polish, and communist emissaries are busy in stirring up the people and fanning the flame of popular discontent. The Minister of War has not come to any decision yet respecting the question (lately put to him in the constituent assembly) whether the Austrian troops forming the German contingent will wear the old German cockade. The question is considered an im portant one. It hu been discussed in a cabinet council. A central committee has been formed in Vienna for the pure-se of procuring work for the unemployed. The Minister of Public Works has stated that the unoccupied workmen, not natives of Vienna, will be sent away from that capital, and that the persona employed by the state will be poid, not as here tofore according to time, but according to the work done. FRANKFORT.—The constituent assembly hada stormy sitting on the 7th, the question of a general amnesty for political offenders being brought under discussion. One of the speakers (Derr Brentano) raised a perfect tumult by making a sneering allusion to the Prince of Prussia. In vain the vice-president endeavoured to restore order; not only his voice but his bell was drowned in the uproar and the confused cries of "Down with the speaker" (herunter niit dery Redner) and "Go on, go on." The vice•presi dent at last put on his hat and declared the sitting closed. ROME, Jety,3o.. In the sitting of our lower house yesterday, Orioli, who was the leader of the jade milieu party, and was spoken of as head of a new combination to displace Count Mamiani, absented himself' altogether, and an nounced by letter his resignation of the representa tive character, " his opinions not having found echo or support within the chamber or outside its walls." This pats an End to the ministerial crisis. The sovereign has no alternative but to confirm the acting advisers of the crown. In the same sitting five hundred and forty thousand dollars were voted for the Minister "at Arms." the word war being sedulously avoided, out of rtspect for the Pontiff, a delicacy which the newspaperrturn into ridicule. But a proclamation from the head-quarters of the Roman Legion (ex -Jesuit establishment) clinches the matter, and leaves no doubt as to the total impossibility of checking by any species of influence the patriotic resolves of the citizens, in the matter of liberating this peninsula from foreign tyranny. Brother Rowena—After four month"' absence and a bloody struggle in the plans of Venice aganst the savage enemy, we return among you joyful to Sort you have in the mean time fought against our internal foes, and th it you have not given up an inch of political ground nor a single iota of our rights and franchises.

Long live Rome and Rely signed) Col. Grad.Ern.— CM& del Gesi, July 28. The Roman Gazette having published an authorised paragraph to the effect that " occupying the Jesuits' head-quarters on the part of the Roman legion was purely an act of the ministry, not of the crown," the Pallade takes it to task far its extraordi nary susceptibility as to the sacredness of Jesuit dwellings, when it had not a word to utter on the de secration of the churches at Mantua by the infidel Croats, who oiled ;their boots with:the holy chrism, made a kitchen of the sanctuary, profaned the chalice and the pix, and masqueraded through town in the charubles and vestments of the priesthood, after having covered with filth and ordure the images of the saints and the relics of the martyrs. Every Italian journal did in fact denounce those horrible atrocities, but the authorised organ of the Roman government bad not courage to breathe a syllable of disapproval. Hence the present growl about a very ind , ffereut occurrence is deemed neither graceful nor sincere. be court.
