--------- Tin NUMBER GP IRlull VAGRANTS AND IMPOSVOIIta who infest this county has tor some time pan been a souses of serious complain: on the part et rate-pares. Doncaster is one of the towns is which the infliction has been sevorde' ere. The local paper, the Gaulle , of F rida y , says: . H of Irhh beggars have of late infested this town, seeties ki who a ng out, by means best knowu to themael vea, these p arre well known as the 'charitable and riumone; and whose sympathies are cohabited to he must easily aroused by a tale of distress. These impostor—for they are in fact nothing less, and in masy instances sons, thing mart—take up their residence in certain lodging-houses in the purlieus of the Rookery, and there cone sct their seheinee for practising on the unwary. It is calcul tool that some of the lodging bosses in that p .rt of the town coat the p+ri-h no less than irOM ; 201. to 4W. each, by korbouring hesegara, thieves, and vagabonOs but it is a matter of congratulation that the fail recently in troduced io the House of Commons by Lint Moroeth con tains cl iuses wsich will require .On:A plains to be licensed by maeistreee, and °laced under proper surveillance. This, it is hoped, will lessen, it not entirely prevent the evils now 20 eneral, and on productive of every bad tendency. As illus g trations of the above r em a rks we would refer to some eases which have lately been brought before the hJrough magnate .tea in this town. Some time during the last week some Irish children were taken before the bench, on a charge of begging at people tioussis. The. hol -.wed that their father .1 IS dead, and that they did not know where their mother was. When questioned by the magistrates it came out that they were lodging at the hotter) of James n of su ein, ch a well known house of ente rtainment for the reception e.hanictere. Finan's wife was seat for, and the children were placed under her care, with ctnct ord. es that they should not be allowed TO go out again on a similar errand. Notwith standing this, aud the women's promioe that they should not be allooed to have the house, on Sunday 6.ur children — the same as before—were found feasting in the streets when people were leaving the thurches and chapels. It was then di s covered that their father an d mother were both living, , and were lodging with them at Finan's, and that conse quently the story they had told preri..usly was entirely false." —Vagrancy is also much complained of in Lincolnebtre. At the meeting of the guardians of the Boston Union on Satur- day, the following repo r t appeared in the master's journal, and was ordered to be forwarded to the poor-law board:— . I beg to call the arention of the board to the inmettee of vagrancy. The following statement for the past twe year. will show that it is not increasing gradually or at a moderate rate, but must rapidly and to a frightful extent : —For the quarter ending March, 1846, there were admitted 311 ; in the J une qenrcer,2Ja 3 ; in theSoptenther quart,, liiS; and in the Decernher quarter, 303: total, 1,062. For the corre sponding periods of 1847, there were admitted in March quarter. 375; in June quarter, 470; in September quarter, 403 ; and in Dec tuber quarter, 623: total, 1873: being an increase of more than 800 on the previous year. For the pest eight weeks of the present quarter there have been 846, showing the number tote still on the increase. I firmly be lieve that the profess , d vagrants (I mean 'hoes who will not work unites compelled to do ro) now make the vagrant lodges of union houses their regular lodgings whether they have the means of paying for their lodgings elsewhere or not. I have known instances of vagrants leaving their money in the town, so that if they were searched th• y should be found i in a destitute condition ; and ethers to leave the house in the morning and return in the evening, they during the in- tonal having been wandering about the town and neigh- I bourli md begging; whilst others seem to have a regular I circuit, visiting the house six or eight times during the year. I know that the accommodatinn they receive in the vagrant lodge hue tven complained of to • ifferent persons in the town, hut I am 'OCii persuaded that only by those parties I (I mean the habitual vagrann) who make it their fre- 1 quent lode Mo-house is complaint made : the casual pauper would not do on, it bei• g his object so leave the town and neiohtiourhood, and a+ soon as possible get to the termination of his journey. I could suggest to the com mittee a more comfortable mode of accommodation, but it would be a greater inducement to idle paupers to come more frequently, and they are the introducers of disease, being generally in a filthy condition : in meat cues it is this class of persons who introduce smst-pox and fevers of different kinds into workhouses." PATIENT SE tRCII REWARDED. —Recently a fine large vein of lead ore has been disc leered in the manor of Hart. sop, Patterdale, of which the Earl of Loiodale is lord. It was found by a poor man, a miner, named Hodgson, who for upwards of 2.5 yeses felt convinced that there was a vein in the manor, and who from time to time during that long period has searched, and at last found it, and who has been presented with a share of it as a r eward for the discovery. 'The ore is of the best quality, and there is no doubt but that the comploy who are working it will realise large - INTIMIDATION BY COLLIERS.—On Wednesday a band of miners visited several coal-pits in Pemberton, and, by threats or intimidation, induced the whole of the men engaged at those works to leave their employment without a momiut's notice. They announced, also, that they should continue their calls at the other pits in Pemberton and in Winstanley on Thursday, for the same purpose. Most of the hands of the Earl of Bilcarris, at Haigh Colliery, have left off work; and at Messrs. Lancaster's pit, in Ince, a similar attempt has been made to quit their employment illegally. Prince Albert, attended by Col. Bouverie, equerry , in waiting, went on Saturday afternoon by special train to Claremont, to visit, upon their arrival in this country, the Count and Countess of Neuilly, which title the ex-King and Queen of the French have assumed. His royal highness returned to Buckingham Palace in the evening. The Duchess of Kent visited the Queen and Prince Albert on Saturday. COMMERCIAL 4. MARKETS. MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE. Two o'Clock.—Our stock market is comparatively quiet to-day. Consols were quoted for some time firm at 82,i to 1, but have recently declined a fraction, and are now called 821 to 1, both for money and account. But for the unfavourable aspect of the news from Germany, both as referring to political movements and to the stock markets, our funds would probably have been more decidedly on the advance. The announcement by the provisional government of France that funds were already in hand for the payment of the half-year's interest on the 3, 41 and 4 per cents., due the latter end of this month only, bat which would be paid by anticipation this day in Paris, and in the departments on the 13th. has produced a favourable feeling on the stock ex change here. Reduced Threes, 82i to Three-sod a-Quarter per Cents., shut. Exchequerßills, 255. to 30s. premium. Bank Stock 191 to 4. We have little if any improvement to notice in foreign stocks. Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents. are widely quoted 60 to 70. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 43 to 3 ; the Fours, 72 to 5. Danish 172 to 6. Spanish Fives, 131 to 1; the Threes, 241 to 1. Passive, 3t to 1. Portuguese, 17 to 19. Brazilian, 77 to 9. Mexican, 141 to 151. Russian, 93 to 100. From Antwerp, it is stated that the liquidation of the Commercial Bank will be attended with less dif ficulty, consequently lees damage also to the creditors and proprietors, than might have been expected. The report of the committee appointed to make an examination of the bank's affairs was so favourable as to warrant the decision that, on Tuesday next (to morrow), a first dividend upon the liabilities of 10 per cent. should be paid. Other dividends, it is confi dently announced, will succeed rapidly, so that the liquidation will be completed in a short time.

Beans, Peas, and Oats met with a dull sale, at last week's prices. BEDFORD, March 4.-The supply of Wheat was rather limited, and prices firm in conaequenc3. Barley was not so liberally brought forward, and the value well supported for all descriptions. In Beans, Peas, and Oats but little business doing at the previous currencies.

CsausLE, March 4.—We had an average supply of Wheat at our market this morning, which sold at a slight advance on last week's rates. Barley was in small supply ; no mange la prises. Agood supply of Oats at our quo-it:one. 10s. to 10s. 3d. was paid fa: seed. Coacenevan, March 4.-The weather still keeps the ear. mere out el the fields sup pl y at the same ileac t w at , in their stooks. The of Wheat is mill, and condi tion is scarcely improved.

Malting and grinding Barley dull, and each Is. per qr. cheaper. Oats are pressed for sale to wholesale buyers, at a reduction of Is. per qr. Beans are without alteration in value. At our market this day, we hall a very firm fe-ling for English Wheat, which met a ready sale at fully last week's prices, while fine foreign was held for rather more money, which buyers seemed indisposed to give. Oats: A steady demand for beet qualities. at lest week's rates; inferior sorts quite neglected. Egyptian Beans were Is. to 2s. per qr. dearer ; in English and Irish nothing pining.

Pets also sold lower-fully le. Idatecnesrau, March 4.-Supplies have Bimini-hed in all oar principal markets; and this, with the resumption of duties of Gs. per quarter upon Wheat, 2s. 6d. upon all other grain, and 3s. Bd. per barrel, or is. 3d. per sack on Flour, induces more steadiness and less desire to sell. A fair busi ness has been done here during the week, at full prices for every article. Our market to-day assumes a more cheerful aspect; there is a fair sale for each article, at prices , rather tending upwards, with the exception of Beans and Malt. Any advance, however, which is obtained upon last week's prices is not sufficiently general and decided to warrant our altering the quotations of onr last. The following are the current prices : Wheat, per bushel of 701 b.., English, white, 7s. 9d. to Bs. 3d. ; red, 7e. 3d. to 7s. 94 Irish, white, 7s. 3d. to 7s. 9d. ; red, Is. to 7s. 6d. Barley, per hush. of 601b5., grinding, 3s. 6d. to 4s. Oats, per bushel of 451b5., English, Scotch, and fine Irish, 2s. Ild. 41M to 3s. lel. ; Irish kiln-dried runs, •2s. 9d. to Is. 10d. Beans, per qr. of 60, English, small, 393. to 40s. ; Tick, 38s. to 495. Peas, per 8 imperial bushel', white, boilers, 40e. to 425. Flour, per sack of 2801 M., English and Irish, fine 375. to 395. ; super fine, 395. to 405.; extra, s. to 425. Oatmeal, per load of 2401b5., English and Irish,4l 25e. Gd. to 2 61 . 6 d. MARLBOROUGH, March 4. - Wheat, first-rate heavy and dry samples, from 56.. to 57.. per qr. Barley at • trifle above the prices of last week. Oats sold freely at last we. k's prices. Beans, Peas, and ltye were offered at a decline of Is. to 21. per qr. NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, March 4.-The weather has been for the most part wet god tempestuous. Yesterday, how ever, a fevourable change occurred, which was succeeded Hein b e y frost at night, and to-day is cle ar and dry, with barometer. The trade during the present week hes been of a dull and uninteresting character, end although lower rates have not been accepted f .r any article, the busines hae been purely a retail one. At tier market this mondiag we had a good supply of Wheat from the growers, and the arrivals coastwise are also to a Ede extent nevertheless the trade assumed somewhat more firmnees, fresh thrashed samples being taken off readily at an advance of Is. per qr , whilst at the same time more deosition was manifested to purchase the best South Countr y qualities, gent eel runs of red commanding 50s. to 525. ; and extra Suffolk w as up to 535. per qr , weighed fell bs. per bushel. Foreien generally held for mere money, which tended to check bu siness. For Flour there was a steady inquiry, households being saleable at 365. to 3 75. per sac k, according to quality. Our arrivals this week, though considerable, have been pretty will got through, which circumstance we suspect will lettuce the holders of graoaried stocks to demand a slight enhance ment next week, and which, in all probability, will he got, p ro vided other markets cause better. In Rye very little doing. Malting Barley still tending downwards, and the same may be said of Malt. Beans and Peas unaltered. With Oats we were well supplied by the growers, as well as from the coast, but the demand proving tolerably good, • fair clearance was e ffe cted at about the rates of this day se'nitight. NF.WPORT (lees or WIMIT), March 4.-Our market to day was well supplied with alt kinds of grain, which s ild at about last week's prices. Wheat, 48 s. to 525. Barley, 27a. to 30e. Oats, 21s. to 245. Beans, 425. to 445. per qr. NORWICH, March 4.-Our market was but scantily general condition must he weed bed. The merehente also offering scantily, the best runs realised full Is. per qr. more than lad week. Fereign offered at last we. k's rate.. Flour was in good r quest, sod must be quoted 6d. per sack dearer for all prime marks. Barley remains the same. Beam, Peas, and Oats, also nominally the same, and but little business transacted. NOTTINGHAM, March 4. -We have a fair quantity of Wheat showing to-day, but holders require an advance upon last week's rates, which millers cannot generally comply with, and the ount of business done is but small. Fur most articles in the tr am ade the rates of last week may be quoted, with but few exceptions. Prreaeonovon, March 4.-We have a good supply of all grain to this day's market. Fine Wheat is in demand, at Is. per qr. advance, and inferior sorts are more in request than of late. Barley, Is. cheaper. Oats maintain late rates. No change in the value of Beans, being in demand for seed. Currency to the growers Wheat, new, 40s. to 44 5. ; fine , 60s. to 52 1 . ; old, 50s. to 525. ; fine, 54a. Barley, 295. to 30s. ; fine, 33..

Farwoneu, March 4.-The trade in Wheat ar dimes extremely dull, and but little business was done at our market today, at prices nominally the same. Barley in fair demand, at about late rates. For Oats and Peas rather more inquiry for seed. Beans scarcely inquired for. READING, March 4.-We have again to report a short supply of Wheat and Barley ; beet qualities of both met a ready sale at Is. per qr. advance, but damp and inferior sorts were very slow, at last week's prices. Oats, Beans, and Peas dull, and scarcely maintained recent value. The seed trade was likewise remarkably dull, and prices were gene rally lower. SAFFRON WALDEN, March 4.-Though RO very per ceptible alteration in the Wheat market since the last-day, yet good and dry samples were in request. Barley main tains its price. Oats, Beans, and Peas are lower. WARMINSTER, March 4.-Some best dry Wheat sold at 28s. to 295. per sack ; fine old, 285.; moderate, 265. to 275. ,• inferior without an offer. Barley , t he best malting, reached 355. to 365. per quarter ; second sorts, 325. to 345. ; inferior, 30s. Oats sold readily at last week's prirts. Beans, Per. and Rye for spring-sowing were from Is. to 2s. per quarter lower. WINCHESTER, Match 4.-Fine Wheats in good demand, at from 131. 16s. to 141. 10s. per load; second rate quality, 131. ; inferior, from 12/. to 121. 10s. Barley : Some of the heavy samples fetched 345. per qr. ; some very fair samples, 30s. to 32a. ; inferior, 28s. Oats realised quite as much as last week. Bean. and Pert, although in good demand, were purchased lower by la per qr. WISBECH, March 4.-The supply of all kinds of grain at this day's market is unusually smell. Wheat coming in better ionditior, the demand is livelv,at an advance oils. per qr. Outs and Beans each in demand, on fully the terms of this day week. Prices to the growers: Wheat, fine white, 6llbs. to 621 M., 48s. to 505 . per qr . • red, 465. to 495. ; good run., 601 M. to 611 M, white, 455. to '4Bs. ; red, 455. to 475. • common, 5711 u. to 591 b.., white, 425. to 445. ; red, 40s. to 43:.

WORCESTER, March 4. -Our market to-day was well sup plied with Wheat, which sold readily at the currency of this day se'nnight. Barley dull, and Is. per qr. lower. Oats unal tered in value, and wily limited quantities were dieposed of. Beane held for an advance of lc to 2a. per qr., which prevented Wet of any consequence. YORE, March 4.-We have a fair supply of Wheat, which has met a tree sale at a shade over last week's prices. Bar ley slow sale, and rather lower. Oats, for seed, in good demand, at higher prices ; Mealing Oats Gd. dearer. In other articles no alteration. DUBLIN, March 3. -On Tuesday we experienced a gene ral improvement in demand and prices. Today, on the opening of business, sonic further advance was demanded, but buyers, acting with reserve, prices for Wheat and Oats rather receded towards the close, and our quotations settled at about the rates of this day week. BELFAST, March 3.-We have had small supplies of grain at market during the week, but have no alteration to report in the price of any article except Wheat, which has advanced 3d. per cwt., with a good demand for prime samples. Indian Corn is without alteration in value, and the de mand is slack. Russian Rye Meal has declined 3d. per cwt. We have had a few days' of fine drying weather ; and, should we experience a continuance of such, we may look forward to small supplies and brisker markets, as farmers will no doubt be occupied in spring labour, which is rather backward. Prices:-Indian Corn, white, 81. to 81. 55.; yellow, 71. 55. to 71. 10s. per ton. Indian Corn Meal, white, 81. 16s. to 9/. ; yellow, 71. 15s. to 81. per ton. Ameri can, 15e. to 16e. per barrel.

Gd. to 7s. Wheaten meal, 13s. to 14.. per cwt. Coax, March 3.-For the first time for some months, we perceive some slight indications of an amendment In trade, as well as a tenth ncy to more firmness in our market. Should the supplies from farmers fall off, as it is pro bable they now will, it is likely that prices will advance a little, or at least be firmly supported; while, should an European war take plaoe-and such an event is not at all improbable-the certain effect, in our opinion s would be to force prices of all kinds of produce up considerably. The Wheat market continues without much change, but we o b s erve during the last day or two a firmer feeling manifest. In prepared Wheat we have very little doing, holders and. purchasers alike declining to do business. The price of Barley is well maintained, and the tendency upward. Oats are unaltered in value. In prepared Oats we have nothing doing ; the free on-board rates, which are quite nominal being 10s. 6d. to 10s. 9d. per brl. Flour meets a quiet, consump tive inquiry, at late prices. Indian Corn has spin rather declined; and though to-day and yesterday wo think we per. oFiTO dry'Sle 111111111ustia, still prices have &ea way Iro, re th top price for prime Oidats being aow tn. Imam me a l in very limited demand. WATIRFORD. Mareb 4.-Our supplies of Grain from the iseatatry have been rather limited this week, but we have received a fair quantity from abroad. Our market has ruled dull, Omagh a further small advance has been paid on well conditioned samples of Wheat. Barley and Oats are without change in value ; the low price of the latter begins interfere with the consumption of Maize and othe salr ku both sda of coarse 'hod. Superhoe Flour meets a steady e, for export end home consumption. KIRCALDY, March 4 -Since Wednesday we have had an improvement in the weather, and farmers can now proceed with their field operations. At our country markets this week we had rather short supplies of all kinds of grain, for which there was a fair lieu:mit fir borne coneumption at the rote of last week. re diy we had moderate supplies of Wheat and Oats, but email of Barley. The condition of the Wheat way worse than it has been this year; ann in oon quince sales were very low, at Is. per qr. reduction. Bar ley and Oats sold readily, at a slight advance in price.

WOOL—LoNnoN.—Since the conclusion of the public sales the mark. t has been quiet but firm ; 600 bales Cape and 250 Ms. Foreign have arrived. En g lish is steady, at previous terms. Bitrairotio.—Notwithstanding all accounts of disturb ances in France, and the general limited use of Coburg Wools, still there is no disposition to press sales. The sup ' ply of skin Wools, which is n ow becoming good, and comb ing length, does not effect the price. The stock in the marks t continues only hare. LEEDS, March 3.—There has been a fair extent of busi ness done in foreign Wools this week, and at previous rates. In English the business transacted during the present week has been decidedly less than fur the two or three weeks previous, chiefly, we think, owing to the disturbances in Franc:. We are, however, disposed to view this effect as temporary. In prices we have no alteration. LI'VERPOOL.—The market has been very dull for foreign Wool this week, and there is more disposition on the part of holders to realise. Prices do not offer any subject for remark. In Scotch there is little to report ; supplie , although small, are equal to the demand.—lmports for tho week ending Muth 4 : Foreign, 2,236 bales ; previousl 14,497 ; total, 16,73 3 ; Scotch, 134 ; previously, 2,176 ;to ol, 2,309.

We have 228 from Holland, 58 from Spain, 200 from Scot. land, 100 from Ireland, and 1,800 from Norfolk and Suffolk. The supply of Sheep is unusually small, and quickly cleared off at an advance of fully 23. per 81b. We have several shorn Sheep in market to. day. The weather is hardly settled enough to cause a brisk demand for them; in consequence of the scarcity, however, they make a fair price, varying from 4s. 8,1. to ss. 2d. We hate from Holland 270 Sheep and 70 Calves. Although the supply of Calves is small, trade is dull for them, and Friday's prices with difficulty supported.

To form a right, a sound, and satisfactory judg ment upon an event so momentous, so immense in its causes and its results, as this third French revolution, could not and ought not to be the work of an hour. Whatever our impulses, whatever our desires, what ever our past experience, all must necessarily be modified by so complete a change in the political scene, and by the possibilities of the present and future. What these are is not facile to judge at such a distance. And tis only after unusual pains taken to procure corrcc•. information by personal contact with all parties .rid classes, of opinion in France, that one should venture to affirm solemnly that a dynasty has forfeited every . hope and every claim, that a great and prominent nation has taken the decided step of permanently and resolutely repudiating monarchy. We do firmly express our conviction that France has irrevocably taken that resolve. This is an im portant fact for the British public and every person in public affairs to know ; and it is simply as a fact that we announce it. Many may think that a revolution, particularly one so easily and so suddenly achieved as that of February, 1848, cannot give rise to any durable system of government ; that a royalty thus tripped up has many chances for recovering its legs again'; that it leaves friends behind it, regret for the order of things which it upheld, and that the first thought, especially of the wealthy and influential, must be to recur to what has been so unaccountably swept away. We would recommend every person to banish this idea at once. You have but to enter the salons of Paris, or penetrate rather into the - politician's closet, in order to obtain from the mouth of every man of every party the confession, that a king, whether BOURBON, ORLEANS, or BONAPARTE, is henceforth utterly impossible in France. The English public must—some members of it at least—have been surprised to see such men as SEBAS TIAN!, GERARD, BUGEAUD, the greatest and most intimate upholders of the dynasty, come forward so readily to give in their adhesion to the republic. Some may call it fickleness or treachery. It is no such thing. It has proceeded simply from the uni versal belief and admission that royalty in France is impossible. Louis PHILIPPE wore out the last wheels of the royal car, and it could never reappear, but to be dragged through the mud. The very legitimists have ceased to believe in ab solute monarchy. Imperialists mock the feeble re mains of NAPOLEON'S relatives. The citizen class, which raised the ORLEANS branch on the throne, now repudiate them more even in contempt than in despair. And, however regretting the failure of constitutional monarchy, the lourgeoisie exclaim, with one voice, let us never try it again. We have heard, and not many hours before we write, one of the most eminent and devoted cham pions of constitutional monarchy declare that it had, in France at least, for ever pe rished that the age of employing fictions in the organisation of a government was past — that the chief of the state, the supreme head, whoever he might be, or whatever he might be called, must be a responsible agent—and that this could not be the case with any who merely inherited power. Nor is this the theory of the philosopher, the dreamer, or the ratiocination of either an individual or a party. It is the representation and the aggregate of the po- pular and universal sentiment, which is, that all claim to authority and weight must be per sonal, and underived from birth. So strong is this sentiment, so confident is it in the consciousness of its truth, justice, and necessity, that it is enforced without even vehemence or rancour, but with all the coolness of undisputed determination. Such has been the progress from 1830 to 18 48 —a co nstitutional monarchy, which has been tried with every element of success that could be devised, and with the wisest prince that could certainly have been chosen—and which has failed. Nothing remains but • republic! And the force of the republic lies in this convic tion, that nothing else is possible. Hence the gene ral adhesion to the Provisional Government, of which the mission is to instal this republic, to set its first machinery in motion, and to preserve order in the state, until the Ist of May, by which time the new constituent assembly will have met, and afterwards until this atr.embly shall have laid the basis of the - . constitution. The Provisional Government give every premise of executing their task with success. The great difficul ties, which, in its first days, assailed it from the tur bulence and discontent of the armed working classes have been got over. A large number of these classes have been satisfied with the arrangement of an hour having been struck from the dads work, and from the abolition of marchandeurs, a class of middlemen, who stood between labourers and employers. And we believe that measures likely to content the labouring population, have already been employed, and will obviate any return of disturbance. A cause of fear with many is the clubs. The National says, that clubs are more dangerous, when secret, or in the midst of an ignorant people with in stitutions and classes before them which excite envy and tempt to subversion. There is nothing of the kind at present. And if subversive doctrines or menaces to property be put forth in clubs, better that the public should know and be aware of it, and be prepared to do justice by them. At all events, MAR RAH', through the National, declares that the clubs cannot be prohibited, for that the right of association has been irrevocably gained by the revolution of February. The great affair of the moment, and of the Provi sional Government, is, however, the elections for the assembly which is to decide the form of the republic. The election will, of course, be direct, with a deputy for every 40,000 souls, so that there will be an assembly of nearly one thousand members. What will be the spirit of such an assembly ? Re publican it must be. But republicans an has as many colotue, parties, and intertsts, as t` monarchy. The revolution, be it remembered, go not excited much enthusiasm. Interests, more the principles, are likely to predominate in the sleeting. And, if the provinces have all so readily adhered gg the republic, there can be no doubt they have g age% with the knowledge and hope that a republic imp% decentralisation. In some districts the bald proprietors are still powerful. In when tie clergy are in a condition to dictate. la others, again, master manufacturers sod those** give employ can command the votes of thaw depeng. ent on them. It is not at all certain that the ma. jority of on assembly electt:d under [such thumb stances will be of those downright dem. ra to plea which certainly animate the majority of the p ig , visional Government. And the iff rte of the govern. meat will no doubt be directed to arousing p o p e * interests and popular classes in the provinces toe* men in their interests, rather than to lazily 400111 members from that same class which supported, eig, by supporting, ruined, the fallen government. If the Provisional Government itself thus shows fears of a too aristocratic assembly, it is not vary probable that the assembly will be a repetiti on o f either the old constituent or Convention. There is ag present no hatred, no envy of , class, no c r y 204 priesthood or against wealth. There will I* pad % no doubt, as in the Con;ress of America; some f or i s . creasing, some for diminishing, the powers of tha executive, and the stringency of a central see m . meet. But of parties ready to rush to each otb i l s destruction or proscription, or inclined to run a mak through Europe—of these there is no prospect, and should be no tear. of our wi l d s a a thorough strict economy ece se n ni o t m in y y in nationals e,, THE division on Mr. Housmse's motion is the r everse of discouraging for these who earnestly d • • th pe e nd e i n tu r° re rec a m nd nt of financial system, both with a view to that end ladle a re-adjustment of the incidence of taxation. Only 68 members voted in favour of Lord ters. CAN'S motion for the repeal of the window tax, al only 160 thought it worth their while to be at the trouble of appearing to oppose it—so confident did - they feel that it could not be carried. Me HUME'S motion for reduction of expenditure obtained only 59 votes, and mdlid into the field only 157 opponents. The motion to post. pone the consideration of the grant tor the expeaeq of the Kaffir war received only 62 votes, and 252 re. corded their hostility to it. But Mr. HOMAN'S proposal to lessen the inequality of the income tax was backed by a minority of 141, and the parties op. posed to this equitable concession were so fluttered that they felt it necessary to minter in force to the number of 316. The House of Commons is lemming' convinced that the struggle for financial reform u likely to prove an earnest one, and the friends of t wise economy and of an equitable distribution of tare , tion in the house are already a phalanx sufficieatly numerous to command respect. This is no party question, and ought not to be al. lowed to become one. In the minority of 141 es find ranking side by aide the new members free the manufacturing districts ( that was to le looked for) a goodly sprinkling of declared ed. herents of ministers, the old radical members, sad liberal conservatives like Mr. HENRY BARU; known to entertain a decided leaning towards ROBERT PEEL. On so vital a question this i dente of party among party men is creditable; we confess, in the prosecution of the straggle ht financial reform, which has now commenced, wasp disposed to look for more uniform, undeviating ye. severance among those new members, whom oa great commercial and industrial eonetituencies hes tent to the new parliament, principally from moms their own body. We do not expect, and we do not wish to see, this section of the house organising itself as a Foy. Pa. haps the closest analogy to their natural position into house—that in which they may be most intheedid for good—is one akin to that maintained by the more intelligent of the independent county race. hers before the panic fear of the first French re. volution. The altered condition of society through the development of our manufacturing system, ea above all, the fatal blunder of the corn law of 1815, have placed tuem in a false position. Bat even to the effectual maintenare e of such a poetic some greater regard for the rules of parliamentary tactics than they have yet displayed would be d advantage. For example, although we have said and ilk that the support which Mr. HORSMAN experienedc the division was most encouraging, it cannot I denied that he was very inadequately supportedis the debate. His own exposition of the merits el is question was able, and bore evident marks of coil study ; Mr. F.B ARING, menta to the weight of his na me. But that was a. too, added valuable up Mr. HUME—and it is with regret that se are compelled to be thus critical upon SO who has done so much good service—introdecii number of irrelevant points, which only give 111 speakers on the other side who followed him eat portunity of diverting attention from the subjecteM before the house. Though there were several other members present, thoroughly competent to expos the rank fallacies by which Mr. IiORSMAN'S motor was opposed, none of them took the trouble. Another instance of want of tact, we think, we afforded immediately after the vote had been taker by one of the most able and earnest of the independen representatives of our great industrial interest. Nr. BRIGHT embraced that opportunity to intimate that le would withdraw his motion relative to the legsey# probate duties, as bearing, upon the budget, and bee it forward at some after time as an independence tion. As an independent motion it will lose lel its value. As originally contemplated by Mr. Bane it would have shown an equitable source of mese by availing themselves of which, ministers miell safely relinquish what they derived from an inievi tons surcharge on professional incomes. This is st important point in the revision of our tunics Later in the day, Mr. BRIGHT'S motion, if carried would give ministers an addition of revenue with out insuring a corresponding reduction in oche directions. Besides, moved as at first comae plated, in the form of an amendment, B sisters could not have evaded the discasio which they will new assuredly find mons to do, unlese they i hould deem it expedient to let* debate come on n order to squeeze out some stiller, delicate topic. With great respect for the class of mantes V whom these remarks apply—with a deep seas of the important part they have it in their pow to take in the deliberations of the House of Cm mons—we request their attention and their coatis tion to the suggestion we have thrown out. Ins assembly coustituted as that house is, the 1150 tact is required in framing and timiuf tions so as encoun t e r them. And though to compel reluctant part ies ould we w $ by any means hold op Mr. ANSTEY as WM 'oleo[ 3. member of parliament, we must hiving secured precedence for his motion, the noW resolution with which he stood upon his right toll heard is worthy of all respect, and of the itnitatiosi gentlemen who have more rational and useful mon" to make. In such matters, the conviction dual* parties moving are in earnest, and too shrewd tot turned off on a false scent, is often half the bat Lastly, as much of union and pre-concert as 5 Wt. patible with independence and sincerity will be Ma of considerable advantage. THE French citizen whose position and whose cFt I duct amid the late events has been felt as most ot portant by every one interested in the saocessful iso of the great experiment in Paris, is certainly M. h _,I)1 R OTHSC HILD.
