TUX DERBY-DAT is awes Thshitival which May sooth was not permitted to tape% and test showery weather was unable to deprive el Se ten ef thou sands of worshippers, has been duly halleneed. Down by the road yesterday was repeated the start Pilgrimage of devotees to Saint Derby—a peasilla bore numerous in men and horses than any =of worshippers since the daye S e h lie Down the road whirled carriegeref all calibre, from the four-in-band of the peer to the donkey-cart of the oostermonger. Gigs, chariots, dog barrows, barouchcs, tandems, omnibuses, "ekorriy dem," chaise-carts, tilburys, cabs a la tiger, and cabs a la Hansom, and carriages of all and every other kind, bought, borrowed, or stolen,—down the road yesterday morning they all streamed, despite a Grizzling rain, and the threat of a still heavier storm —the string of bipeds and quadrupeds and vehicles stretching from the Thames bridges a good fifteen miles away into Surrey to the Downs. And all the while these thousands were going by road, tens of thousands were struggling slowly into the station at London-bridge, and being whirled rapidly out of it by railway carriage to Epsom—the combined throng on that centre of at traction being swelled to its usual multitude by manifold contributions from innumerable other cu. Dal of the country round. By two o'clock there they all were, one great anxious Ithrong, waiting the moment when the Goddess Fortune should re nail the fate of the day. People enough were there to make an army of invasion or of defence ; sough to tenant a great city, and amongst them peers and pickpockets, senators and thimbleriggers, the idle and the busy—the respectable in hundreds, and the doubtful in thousands—sporting men, fight ing men, and betting men—sharps and flats—those who went for "business," and those who went for idleness—those *irking excitement, and those look ing for pleuure. Inclined planes made up of human beads and faces marked the stands, whilst the race ground itself showed a wide-stretching ring, fenced sit upon the spreading downs, its limits marked by a belt of mingled men and women, vehicles and horses. It is the great Pte day of English horseflesh — the great test-day . of animal perfectioc. England, by general admission, excels the world in many things, and horses rank in the number. Of English horses, the fleetest are to run this day. They have been watched for three years from their birth up wards,—their pedigree is known,—their names have been registered.—their progress calculated,—their peace reckoned; on each individual racer, hundreds, and generally thousands, have been staked, until upon the whole field the sums depending are enormous lieu of all classes are interested in the coming result.

Rush" not Amgen armies, subdued the people of Hungly and rrneem mitted them to their hereditary jailor of the House of HAPSBURG. The CZAR has just been paying a visit to his imperial vassal ; of whom he is said to have taken leave with a patronising promise of the con tinuance of his countenance and support. Of course the promise was qualified by the understanding that it was obligatory only so long u the imperial vassal me c onducted himself as to merit the protection of the CZAR. From Vienna the CZAR has proceeded to Berlin to visit another of his modern dependents. The King of Peessu has done something very like homage for the territories he holds, and wit h more of ostenta tious publicity than the Emperor of Avarua. At • solemn banquet—from the time of TACITIOI it has been the German custom to transact important pu bli c business once drunk and once sober—the Cog of l'aven• pledged his over-lord, adding the prayer," Gov preserve him to that portion of the world which ho has wen him for an inheritance, and to our suoch, to which he is indispensable."

To see Prussia—the Natural leader of northern and Protestant Germany —hob-nobbleg with the CZAR, excites very painful feelings. The triumvirate of the north-east of Europe do not seise their attention to their own dominions. They onset aright to dictate to the rest of Europe. They mum ie a correspondence recently made public, a right to estate to France its form of government, and to impose a sovereign on it. They maintain that the treaties if 1814 and 1815 are still in full vigour; and that by then Austria, Great Britain, Prussia, and Russia, 'are pledged to maintain the divine hereditary rights of the house of Bovanox. In the first place, they declare that these crowns "pledged themselves", on the 20th of November, 1815, "to maintain in full vigour the perpetual exclusion of the BONAPARTE family from the throne of France;" in the second place, they intimate that they have connived at what has happened of late years in France simply on the understanding that it was a transient interruption of " legitimate " sway, to which France itself would in time put an end ; and lastly ' they proclaim that " there already exists a Frenclidynasty ; and so long as a BOURBON is found, whenever a French crown is shaken off, to him it appertains." The would-be resuscitators of the Holy Alliance forget, or affect to forget, a few facts that are of some importance. They forget that Mr. CANNING, with the approbation of every party in this country, finally and unequivocally withdrew Great Britain from the entangling alliance contracted in 1816, whoa "he Min the New world into existence to ream the balms gibe di" They forget that Rook by destroying the nelinality of Poland, has elite own met set mils go bestirs of 1815, end dinabled ihmif to mos the feltileasat easy et thstr VaTisy Owe tin the boding sore in Osman ormtedevedea by failing to their remises to confer terrieuntative con ning= en their subjects—or by reminding such aninlislin glen ted—or treating than as dead letters—bese y forfeited .11 title to insist upon the en of these Intim They forget that by the remains of the dirndl and the republics of South the eint a.. e . !

The senators hoped to escape being entangled in the Orleans bu siness, and are much annoyed'at being implicated in so thorny • matter. The President, on the other hand, is glad to have an occasion for trying . them. You may remember that M. Prosper Menin€e was ted for an article in the Revue des Dew prosecuted in favour of M. Libri, and against the tri bunal' which had condemned that person for stealing books from the public libraries. M. Merimee was eoademned to-day by the Tribunal of Correctional Polio* to fifteen days of imprisonment and I,ooofr. fine for impugning the decision of the magistracy ; and M. de Mars, the editor of the Rends, was con demned to 200 f. fine. The oath has been rehired by M. Ozon, councillor general in the Sarthe; M. Vigarozy, councillor-ge neral in the Haute Garonne; M. de Saban-Ponteves, councillor-general in the Gironde; M. Pepin Barbut, in the Gard; and M. Chambellan, in the Eure. The delay allowed for councillors-general to take the oath having expired on the 16th inst., a great many have been struck off the list as seceders who have not in terms refused. Many legitimists took the oath before the Count de Clamberer" letter appeared. The provincial journals continue to re gister a great many refusals among mayors, assistant mayors, and municipal councillors.

PARIS, Wrorammor ETZNINO. lam enabled to-day to seed you some details con cerning the sitting of the Mandl of State which took place yester&y, under the presidency Louis Napoleon. The President, having rep tired to the hall of the palace on the Quai D'Orsay, in which the sittings are held, took hie seat in the arm-chair provided for him. On his right-hand sat Baroche, nee-president of the ConetaL M. Factual was pre sent, to defend the bill on public instrindea, which was the sar i tf:r deliberation. Louie Napoleon' opened the with the following speech: Merames.--la le era 0611114 of state we are not party Ism We an bees kora swiseity of public Whirs ; sad we eight is prim AO duty equally without preoccupation sad wittiest so iirritemoi . Let, therefore, each of you speak out here completely hie opinion. This speech having been read, as usual, from a paper which the President held in his hand. M. de Parrien, minister of public instruction in the cabinet of M. Baroche, then proceeded to make a speech, in which he opposed the bill of M. Fortoul with all the corrgy of which he was capable. Hs tookr toof eces all the provisions of the and to make himself at mace the ergs* all t objections entertained by the clergy and by the university. Louie Napoleon listened to M. de Parries during this severe criticism of the govern ment's measure with the closest attention. hi. Marchand and M. Boojeau, the latter ex-minister of public works, suc ceede d M. Partin, and both con demned the bill. M. Fortonl then proceeded to de fend his creation. During this debate the President was occupied for the most part in talking in a low tone to M. Baroche, not having given to the succeed ing speeches the same attention which he bestowed upon that of M. de Purism M. Fortoul having con cluded his defence, M. Baroche said : " Gentlemen, it appears that upon the bill proposed by the govern ment the opinions of the council are exceedingly divided. The question is a diMoult one, and demands the most mature deliberation. It is evident that the session of the Corps Legislatif will have come to an end before the Council of State can transmit to that body the result of its deliberations. It would there fore be better to adjourn for the present all further discussion on the present bill." No sooner had M. Bauch. concluded this speech, which seemed to take the Council completely by surprise, than Louis Napoleon rose and said, " The sitting is at an end." The members of the Council of State looked at ono another as if to ask the mot de lenigme, end the gene ral opinion seemed to be that M. Fortoure bill wu defi nitively shelved. There was a good deal of talk about the approximation of M. de Fallout to the government ; and it seemed to be very generally ad mitted that it was not impossible that this legitimist leader might once more condescend to accept the portfolio of public instruction. I have already mentioned the dissatisfaction of the Corps Legislatif at the systematic refusal of all documents by ministers or members of the ad ministration which are indispensable to aid committees in their labours. I learn to-day that a decided step has been at last taken upon this subject. It appears that hi. Gonin, president of the committee of the budget, had ap plied to the director-general of the Stempellies for SOSO 11101110ents essential to the teak of the can ' Wits., sod was met with a decided rennet. M. Geniis immediately laid the case before M. B=l IV=of the Corps Legislatif, and it woe should go and make repreeentatioss to the President in person upon this subject; 'either en tertaiaing the Wet doubt but that a word at the *ids wadi set all right. It seems these men were suite out in their Louis Napalm % air listening to their eempleinta said with a sidle to M.

The reading by one of the secretaries of the minutes of the last sit ting was interrupted by M. de Herdrel, who said that the minutes (proves verbal) constituted the only report of their proceedings. They bad on that =- count great importance, and yet it was impossible to test their neurreay, for they were read in an under tone, amidst the noise of private conversation, which wee not the cause of the impossibility of hearing, but the natural consequence odes minutes being read in an =intelligible manner.

He had a carte blanche given him as to his colleagues. On his return to Madrid to confer with his poli tical friends, and set about organising his cabinet, he received a communication from tho husband of the Queen Mother contain ing a list of the conditions to which Mon was required to agree. The latter, who had flattered himself that for once he might form an unfettered, unpledged cabinet, saw in this communication of the Duke of Rieman* another of the many contradictions so peculiar to the palaw,and which here render govern ' meat so difilcult,tw up the eharge he had undertaken, and there is not as yet any new combination talked of. The Bravo Murillo cabinet, notwithstanding the affectation of confidence manifested by its organs in the daily press cannot possibly carry on the Queen's government much longer, on account of tho just alarm which it has excited in public opinion, which accuses it of having given a death blow to the press, deadened the springs of the administration of justice, damaged trade by stamp laws in which a mass of vexatious details, such as regulating the number of words and letters in each leaf of stamped paper, and other pranks which would be scarcely believed if they were not recorded in the official prints. ITALY. TURIN, MAT 22. I hasten to inform you that the ministry, as modi fied by the late crisis, has been this day presented to tho Chamber by the Chevalier d'Azeglio, the late and present prime minister. MM. d'Azeglio, Paleocape, and I Pernatilsave steamed their respective portfolios of Fo reign Alike, Public Works, and Interior ; M. Boscempagni has accepted the department of Justice, vacated by M. Galvagno ; and M. Cibrario has been named Minister of Finance, in lieu of M. Cavour. The Department of Public Instruction, lately held by M. Farini, is provisionally entrusted to M. Boncompagai. M. Lamarmora retains the 2rnt of - War, to which that of Marine is e M. d'Azeglio declared to the Chamber tint the late Dries was occasioned, not by any difference between him and his late colleagues in matter of principles, but only in the manner of applying them—that all were devoted to the constitution and meant to support it. Thus disappears all immediate danger of a re-ac floury cabinet coating in ; and as it is known that the Chevalier Cibrario is devoted to Count de Cavour, lit ill hewed and believed that able minister will soon MIMS his place in the cabinet with M. d'Azeglio. The present ministerial crisis has brought into secerescuipicnons notice than he had hitherto had, a pear nobleman of as yet unappreciated, because untried, abilities, bat who, it is more than probable, will one day act a dist ingu ished part in the affairs of his country.

M. d'Azeglio, the president of the council, addressed the Chamber as follows : It is my duty to give the Chamber some explanations on the late ministerial crisis. Dimensions arms in the ca binet, not on questions of principle, but on questions of useution. The cabinet resigned; his Majesty has been pleased to entreat me with the formation of a new cabinet. I ventured to remark on that occasion that my labours, both of mind and body, during the last few years, had greatly impaired my health, and that I had nothing to offer the King bat my good intentions. His Majesty declared that sufficient, and added, that my acceptance of office would be highly useful to himself and the country. I obeyed, be cause I confide in the aid of others. I confide in the feeling parliament has evinced towards me good feeling the last three years. I confide still more in that patriotic devotedness which has been our guide through so many difficulties, and given us sufficient energy to overcome them to our honour, and to save our liberties. I confide in the support of our new as well as our old friends, mil of my new and old colleagues. I, lastly, confide in that pad faith which has shown itself proof against all tempts tics", and will ever be, as hitherto, the guide and support of the state. The programme of the cabinet is the same as before ; firmness in supporting constitutional institutions; the continuation of the reforms we have commenced ; good faith with respect to conventions at home, and good faith also in our transactions with foreign nations ; our complete inde pendence at any price and for ever. On such foundations, and with such support, the cabinet will commence its ca ner with confidence. Should its hopes not be realised, Clod, who will not allow Piedmont to perish, will then confide this country to abler hands. ROME, MAT 20. Although from the expressions of some of the Paris journals, and the financial estimate of the next year's expenses, it has been inferred that the French government intends shortly to withdraw its army from the occupation of the Roman States, circum stances are frequently occurring here which induce the Romans themselves to form a contrary opinion. I have already alluded to the expense which has been incurred in fitting up the ex-post office as a club house for the exclusive use of the French officers, which would most probably not have been the case if the departure of the troops had been considered Ist proxlmats event. Last week, by a very irregu kr Wren* of authority, the municipality put forth a ,to the proprietors of land in the neigh- Uiae of the capital, informing them that the engineers wore about to draw up • plan of environs of Rome, with the principal positions 111111 pied by the French army during the siege, and laming them against offenng any hindrance or Allntroying the temporary buildings which the engi seers might end necessary to erect on their land, un der pain of paying for any such damage, and order ing them finally to furnish lodging and means of transport at the request of the French officers. This has been already magnified into an intention, on the part of the French, to fortify the neighbour hood of the city, and contributes therefore to the belief that their departure is not to be looked for as yet. The re-construction of the Papal army, the condition of the French departure, proeeeds but slowly, but the enlistment of foreign recruits, accord ing to Halbermatten's plan, which has been for some time past suspended, is now resumed, and the French and Pontifical governments have authorised the en rolment of a battalion of French volunteers for the service of his Holiness. About seven hundred foreigners are now quartered at Macerate, chiefly Swiss, Bavarians, and Belgians, who may be consi dered as the nucleus of the heterogeneous and hire ling bands which are to uphold the temporal glories of the Papal throne on the retreat of the French and Austrians. M. Obersohn of Fribourg, has just been appointed chaplain to this force, which is enti tled the " let Foreign Regiment in the service of the Holy See." A battalion of Roman chasseurs is being diligently instructed and exercised at Velletri in the tactics of the Chasseurs de Vincennes, under the inspection of some French officers of that corps. The soldiers are armed with the redoubta ble Vincennes rifle. The cavalry of hie Holiness amounts to six squadrons of dragoons, between 700 and 800 men, and the artillery consists of a regi ment of Swiss and Romans, the debris of the war, under the orders of Colonel Ellger, a veteran Seise of Sonderbund celebrity. The Roman infantry makes but little progress numerically, and is very ill instructed and disciplined ; many of the best men have been drafted into the gendarmerie, which is the sup most strengthened of late; so that, considering the little sympathy at present prevailing between the inhabitants and the government of the Roman stater, we can hardly deem the withdrawal of the armies of occupation as an event at all desirable for the ecclesiastics until they aro a little stronger at home. The discontent produced by the newly-imposed taxes throughout the country is already giving rise to serious collisions, and will require all the strength of the government to suppress it. I mentioned in my lest that disturbances had taken place at Velletri, where the inhabitants had preferred their goods to bo seized rather than submit quietly to the tax on trade and industry. The state of that town is still such as to determine the government to send a column of 200 gendarmes to assist the tax gatherer in his operations. M. Thiers is still here in inglorious exile,gradually convincing himself, to his own no small surprise, of the thorough hopelessness of engrafting any species e political amelioration, in harmony with the ad vancement and civilisation of the present age, upon the thoroughgoing and necessarily systematical des potism of clerical recyinie. He has already had an interview with Cardinal Antonelli, and will probably be admitted to the honour of kissing Pio Nono's foot, before leaving the Eternal City for Naples, in conse quence of the exceptional privilege granted him by King Ferdinand. This being Aseension•day, the Pope repaired in the morning with his customary state to the church of St. John Lateran, from the balcony of which he an nually blesses the assembled crowd. The splendour of the festival was spoiled in the present instance by the badness of the weather, and his holiness im parted but a diluted blessing upon the few spec tators who ventured to brave the elements in his behalf. A sanguinary affray took place on the day before yesterday at the Oabbione eating-house, near the Fountain of Trevi, in cons equence of two French dragoons refusing to pay six beiocchi (3d.) for some wine which they had called for, the price of which had been explained to them beforehand. Words on the subject led to blows, and the dragoons, drawing their long swords, slashed at everybody and every thing that came in their way, and seemed especially intent on the destruction of the fat and good-natured host, Pasquale, thrusting him at the sword's point into the inmost penetralia of the kitchen, until, ,unded by his night-capped myrmidons. " Honour, despite, revenge, and shame, At once into his stomach came," and, grasping a large frying-pan of boiling oil, he threatened his assailants with instant destruction. The dragoons were too wise to face the fat, and therefore retreated under a shower of plates and culinary missiles, inflicting some wounds in their , and stabbing especially Pasquale's t son, a il o a y la r twelve years old, twice in the groin. The onslaught was finally put an end to by the appear ance of the French gendarmes, and the:boy, whose wounds are very serious, was immediately consigned to the hands of a surgeon. GERMANY. PRUSSIA. According to the ibieg;eoacette the cabinet of Berlin has within the last few days addressed a com munication to the Austrian government upon the present commercial and customs relations of Ger many. After remarking that Prussia has never ceased to direct its endeavours towards a union of all German states in the province of material interests, the writer proceeds to observe that to establish such a union on a solid basis, it is necessary to advance gradually, taking existing interests into account. Then glancing at the actual situation, he declares that Prussia will be prepared to enter upon negotiations for the conclusion of a treaty with Austria, so soon as the Zollverein shall be completely reconstructed. The note is said to be conceived in the most cour teous and conciliatory terms, without containing any expression to imply a surrender of the privileges hitherto maintained in Berlin on the subject. The Frankfurter states that all danger of a rup ture between Prussia and the Southern Zollverein States may be considered as at an end; that Prussia is ready at once to lay down the basis of a treaty with Austria, and give positive assurances respecting a future commercial union. AUSTRIA ! The Wieser Zeitung, of the 22nd, contains the ap pointment of Count Colloredo Weikel as ambassa dor extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary of his Imperial Austrian Majesty to the court of St. James. A communicated article appears in the official organ, replying to complaints which have been ad dressed to the government respecting the list of Austrian exhibitors who gained prizes in London last year, published in the Gazette a few days ago. It is explained that the judges of the Exhibition, and not the Austrian government, are responsible for the judgments passed upon the various articles exhibited; the government expresses no opinion, but only re produces the list. WIESBADEN. The Empress of Russia arrived at Wiesbaden on tho evening of the 23rd. A letter from Wiesbaden states that a number of foreigners employed in the Dieberich cigar manufac tory have been ordered to quit the country within twenty-tour hours, in consequence of their having been found to be engaged in political intrigues. FRANKFORT, MAY 23. Royal promises were lately a real want of the times ; the want of the times now is their " viola tion." This ignoble maxim, pronounced and pub lished with so much cynicism three years ago by the reactionary party in Prussia, is to-day in great honour allover Germany. It is become the mot tr ordre for all the governments. Every day we see nothing but changes and subversions of constitutions. And what are the motives, or rather the pretexts of these arbitrary changes ? "We cannot govern with these constitutions," say our ministers ; " the welfare of the people is not consistent with these laws, and they must be abolished." And so, for the good of the people, the privileges of the squirearchy are re enacted. Governments, which hitherto have pre served the fundamental laws, are urged and forced by the Germanic Diet to revoke them. The Diet de clares of such and such a law or institution that it sine against the spirit and principles of the Germanic Confederation, and straightway it is done away with. Its mandate is all that is required to produce this effect. Thus has the constitution of Electoral Hesse b een annihilated, and thus is the Diet destroying those of the free cities and other states. The senate of the free city of Frankfort had sub ndtted the draft of a constitution to the legisla tive body of that city for its approval. With some unimportant modifications, the constitution Wu adopted, and from day to day people looked to see it put in force. Bat the Diet steps in. It imposes on the senate an order not to promulgate the new laws. The article in it which has given offence is that which emancipates the Jews. In Frankfort the Jews are especially distinguished by culture, and the energy which they bring to all that they undertake. Some of the best artists, most distinguished advocates, and most successful physicians in Frankfort are Jews, and in commerce it is needless to say they take the very first road. Envy then and fear of complition are the motives which impel a portion of our bourgeoisie to intrigue and protest against the publication of the constitution, and especially against the emancipation of the Jews. Intolerance in political and religious matters of all who hold and follow another belit.f than that favoured in high places, such is the order of the day. Dissidents, whether froniprotestanti s m or catholicism, are everywhere pursued and perse cuted, but the Jesuits may preach wherever they think they have a chance of making proselytes. While such is the state of things in German; the Emperor of Russia pays us a visit. Fetes follo * ve fetes at the court of Potsdam : dinners and parades take place in his honour. By baronets. the Czar excites the enthusiasm of Prussian officers ; he grasps the hands of generals and colonels, and all swear alliance and eternal friendship. It is remark able that the arrival of the Russian autocrat at Berlin should coincide with a ministerial propositioa to make the most extensive changes in the Prussian constitution. Soon, we may expect, there will remain no trace of the original charter. 'lnc of Hanover goes to Berlin to meet the Czar, and his ministers likewise demand of the chandlers a thoroughly absolutist change in the constitution. The influence of the Czar at Berlin is proverbitiL "Le Czar ordonne, nous obeissons." Ile meddles not merely with our political affairs, but also in our commercial interests. You have watched the efforts of Austria for forming a customs union of all Ger many. The majority of our merchants oppose such a union, because they fear the had customs adminis tration, the paper money, and the tobacco monopoly of Austria. Prussia, if she would not lose all her influence on other states, ought not to consent to the project. But, notwithstanding all reasons of policy and interest, there is every reason to believe that such customs union will sooner or later take place, and this because Russia desires to give Austria oc cupation in the heart of Germany, that the Czar may encounter no rival on his road to Constantinople. AFFAIRS IN THE RIVER PLATE. BUENOS AYRES, APRIL 3. We begin to breathe freely after the late complete bouleversement in our political condition. Our ekc tions for our local .state government take place on the 11th instant, and our House of Assembly meet on the Ist May. It is generally expected that our pre sent provisional governor, Doctor Lopez, will be re elected, and he is a respectable worthy man. Their first work will be to re-establish a good police, and to protect life and property. Vigour and energy will he required for this after such a disruption of all late social arrangements—the nicest and larger question is—What " general principle of ac tion" is to govern the various states comprehended in thi "Argentine Confederation," which hitherto have merely been satelites subservient to the mandates of ltosas? A congress, it is expected, will meet at tho town of Santa*, to arrive at some general principle for tho future organisation of the Federal States in their re lation to each other ; and a feeling prevails generally that free trade will form the leading feature in their arrangements—that is " freedom of transit" from the seaboard to the respective provinces in tho interior and as between all of them—without any but a very moderate duty in the shape of transit duty at the port where the goods are landed and bonded. This would be all that could be desired for trade, and would in fact be opening up all the inte rior by land and water to our commerce ; and it seems probable that such is the intention of General Cr quiza, whose influence at the congress would of course be predominant. He has evinced the most enlightened opinion in his own state of Entre Itios on commercial matters. We anticipate that any such transit duty here will not exceed five or six per cent, and we look to the trade with the in terior increasing considerably by such a diminished charge and increased facilities. These are the favourable prospects anticipated, as we sincerely trust a wise spirit will prevail at the counsels of the approaching Congress. At the same time wo cannot disguise from ourselves that Buenos Ayres herself may be unfavourably affected. Her largo revenue has hitherto been derived from the exac tion of high duties on the imports which through her custom house on their way to trial tcrior. This will now cease, and she will be left with her immense amount of paper notes as her only internal currency, a considerable local funded debt unredeemed, and beyond that a large foreign funded debt. Her financial position, therefore, will be much worse than formerly, and we see no practicable way of raising a revenue sufficient for her immediate wants, and still less for her foreign liabilities. lhe paper notes in circulation, which were esti mated at about one hundred millions of dollars fa 1851, have (owing to the late enormous Mews during Roses's last struggle) increased to abed 150 millions of dollars, or, at our present low rate &exchange, about 2,000,0001. sterling, or suppas 12d. to the dolbsr, 7,500,0001. The local funded debt, which in January, 1850, had been reduced to about 16 millions of dollars, remains at about the same amount, the sinking fund having gone to meet more g wants during the late emergency. The debt—originally one million sterling—on ac count of which IWEis had kept paying some small instalments, chiefly from policy to strengthen himself in London quarters, is too remote a contingency to be dealt with even prospec tively in the face of the local engagements that I have referred to ; added to which - the late Hew government have left their successors a legacy of an empty exchequer, and many millions of dollars of liabilities, for which the unfortunate creditors are now clamorous. It remains likewise to be seen if General Urquiza himself purposes entirely to forego any demand for the expenses he has incurred. It is argued by some that the other states ought to assume part of the foreign funded debt, but their reply will doubtless be, that not only has Buenos Arm been the sole recipient of this, but she has likewise levied a heavy indirect tax upon them for eo many years through her custom-house, which is more than an equivalent, even were they liable. In short, where no motive of self-interest is brought to bear on the public mind here (and still less in the provinces) in respect to the foreign funded debt, vou cannot expect our weak executive to make any Ant in favour of such a distant contingency, where re many urgent demands are pressing os them at home; but, I repeat, this does not, as many parties doubtless think on year side, prevent trade and commerce pro gressing here, and this country becoming rich ath prosperous, provided peace is secured, and free trade established. Emigration would do wonders for this country, and I trust the attention of parties in Europe will be directed this way. PEOPLE'S PERMANENT BENEFIT BEILPING SO. ClETT.—Yesterdtty the fifth annual meeting of num bers was held at the Western Literary Institution ; the Pros , dent of the directors in the chair; who pointed out the advantages of the permanent " system as a means who , - by the industrious man may accumulate, by small Pat' moots, a sum of money which will enable him t) purchase his own dwelling, or by applying at to another purpee, obtain a permanent &detrital!, only to be acquired by the possession of capital. He also drew attention to the fact of the legislature having shown a disposition to give encouragement to these societis , and having passed a law exempting them from taxation , and called upon the secretary to read the report and ba lance sheet, showing the operations of the society for the past year, from which it appeared that a dividend of toe r cent would be paid forthwith upon all paid up slumi 751. each) ; and interest at the same rate added to oila area not paid up in full. At the conclusion of the rent ing of the report, it was unanimously approved of by the meeting and agreed to. After several inquiries from mem bers as to the working of the society, a vote of wo passed to the directors and officers of the society, business terminated.
