Ova contemporaries who some weeks ago sought to persuade the public that no measure of Reform would be seriously pressed this year, because no ge aeral feeling prevailed that it ought to be, are now quite of another mind, and urge their plans in abets moot upon the ground that the subject engages so much attention, and admits from its very ;ratans of so many different ways of handling, that earnest Reformers are not agreed as to details. They meet everywhere and discuss publicly what the shape of a. good Bill should be. They argue stoutly each in favour of bin own particular view; and, therefore, the noses and other official organs assure us, it must be inferred that the nation at large dose not really feel the want of any important change. In 1831 things were very different. Then, we are told, there was a palpable need of substantial improvement. The country was highly excited ; Nottingham Cued* was burned, and Bristol sacked. That was something like the true style of thing. A real measure, and no sham or shuffle, or trick at cards, would do. So the .£lO franchise was granted in towns, and the Tory rotten boroughs were disfranchised. But now, when we want the Elf/ franchise for coenties, and the disfranchisement of the Whig rotten bar/webs, our contemporary says, No—there is no seasemity there are no threats of violence ; ducal palaces are not fired, and ancient cities are not plundered r— talk of reform, indeed—where are your melee P But we beg to remind Lord PALnaairlon and his Austrian allies in the Cabinet, the Court, sad the Press, that the reason why there are no mobs, no threats, and no commotion now, is simply because the many eannot and will not believe that they are, after all, about to be swindled. England was quiet enough in the summer of 1830. People reed and talked of scandalous jobs and corrupt votes, and the necessity of making the representation more *de viate to the growing wants and intelligence of the empire; but they did so tranquilly, feet as they are doing now, believing, as they believe now, that the palely elected Paz-- inmost understood what the country desired, and that tie shrewd and experienced Minister of the day would yield on Reform as he had done es so many other questions. Nor was it until these delu sions were dissipated that anything like peptise anger broke forth. Had the Duke of WlLLirovoir not tried to trashiest Parliamentary Reform he might have retained noise, and the country would assuredly have remained tranquil. Bat with all his sagacity, pluck, and contempt for consistency, the Duke made • mistake. He listened to what his flunkeys told him, that there was nobody else who could attempt to govern. He believed that in a Parliament called by himself a few months previously, he could not be beaten. He knew that the Court was at heart against him, but the enmity wee not allowed to appear ; he told the aristocracy that he was their true friend, and that they had far better forget old squabbles and stick to him ; sad if they did be would pat down the murmurs heard at their greedy aid sordid monopoly of patronage, sad the mutterings which began to be audible in favour of a more real representation. The Court promised (ender its breath) to stick to him. The oligarchy were, of course, only too happy to do so. Even after it became plain that he meant to concede so improvement or extension week having, the House of Commons wavered ; hat the House, like the women, that hesitates, le lost; and the indispensable Prime Minister was given to understand by the Court that his @sr vices would be dispensed with. The nation, roused from its credulous dream of concession without pews. we, sprung to its feet and thrust its clenched band into the face of power. A fierce cry of " Off, off!" rang through the land. The spoilt child of tortillas became the object of popular hate ; and he who at the recent general election had been spoken of at every hustings with deference by his opponents and l enthusiastic admiration by his friends, wee pelted when he rode into the City, hooted as he entered the House of Lords, and obliged to have iron shutters I put up to save the windows of the house the nation had built him. Will our contemporary be satisfied with nothing short of popular exasperation like that which led to the deplorable excesses of 1830 and 1831! There is, however, another view of the matter.

The only assemblage of the kind that we can call to mind at this moment was one held at the London Tavern eon's weeks ago, at which the principal speaker was Mr. ERNEST JON Ce, and of which the chairman was the most noble the Mar quis of CLA MR IC MDR. Persons of an inquiring turn of mind have frequently asked of late why was that accomplished individual made Lord Privy Seal. May it not have been as reward for his having led that forlorn hope in the City ? Two thousand a year is not a bad " good service pension." It is not ileal to the merits of the man, perhaps ; but it is something in hand, sod is a pledge of further bene ficent intentions. Besides, it has always been held that desperate actions must be signally rewarded ; and so far no man, however daring or desperate, of Lord CLAMLICARDICS mark or character, has had the hardihood to face a public meeting on behalf of Lord PALMERATON'S India BilL In the fable the fox was hung up by the tail pour encourager les metres. In this case the Privy Seal has been con ferred with apparently like motive upon a nobleman with whom others of his order when they compare themselves will be tempted to say, without any excess of vanity—" Surely we are not leas deserving " than he."

In the next nom, karma as Queen Anne's, and mom fandherly se the trash rem, there will be exhibited on the wearing days tableau, of which welters no doubt our Prussian guests will preserve a pleasant reminiscence on their retort to the beaks of the Spree. One-half of this fine apartment bas bees fitted up u a gallery, rising tier above tier, until it half obseares Queen Anne's portrait at the back ; and on theme tiers will be ringed all the youth sad beauty of oar female aris tocracy in full emit deem, and looking as radiant and Joyous se young people generally do at a wedding party. The same stringent arrangements as regards dress are to be observed in all the apartmeate to be subsequently passed through, until the procession arrives at the Colour-court, a seat in which will more decidedly the best view of the whole ceremonial, save what is to lake place actually within the chapel. The seats will form a flat toted curve, end from the extent of the space to be traversed the procession will be longer in view than at any other part of Its route. Another advantage will be that heals no sump tuary law insisting on train, or toupee, or feathers, or swords, so that it will form a most comfortable harbour of refuge for th• elder members of the aristocracy, whose object is to as. rather than tole seen. We had at first entertained ap • prehandoss that the chapel itself would look ill-lighted and . gloomy, but by the last touches of the decorator all fears on that score have been removed. The effect of a narrow gilt cornice running round the newly-erected oak gallery is quite wonderful, as is also that of the elaborate gilding which the railings in front of the royal pew have undergone, and which was not finished until nearly the last moment allowed by the contreet. Oa the door the three rows of sesta on each aide have been covered with crimson velvet, richly trimmed with milk frilly of the same colour, and are regularly divided into compartments, imaged with a proper regard to the prevailing fashion in ladies' costume. The most voluminous crinolines will, however, find it to their advantage to be placed in the front row on each side, as the divisions become more contracted as the seats become more elevated. The /taut par and centre aisle have both been covered in ” bishops' blue," sad to this, along with the slender columns of the same colour that support the gallery, much of the cheerful aspect which has been attained is to be attributed. The hangings and drape ries are of crimson velvet, looped with rich silk lace of the same colour, and the chairs of state sad tabarete on which We royal visitors are to be accommodated are of the tame coiner, with the addition of much gilding and bullion deco rations. Taken altogether, and considering the smallness of the space in which everything had to be done, it would be hard to give too much credit to the different potties engaged in the preparations for the magnificent affect produced. The satielsolica of the Prince Count is complete, and was most unreservedly "'premed on hie visit of Friday last, on which ocomion his Royal Highness was accompanied by Lieut.- Colonel Posicaby. The contrast bound Memes.Johnt tone and Jeanie to have everything finished on Thursday last, and at twelve o'clock on that night the last workman left the chapel. The communion plate, which is of great value, is at present being cleanedand burnished, and when arranged in its proper piece will complete the gorgeous effect of the chapel in terior. Out of doors the principal goldsmiths at the west end et the town are fully employed preparing costly presents for the wedding-day.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE THE BOMBAY MAILS. OT ISUBILLRINI TILEGRAPH.) The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company have received the following telegram from Marseilles; viz.: _ " The stet m-ship Ermine, with the Bombay mails, arrived at Marseilles at 10 p.m. yesterday. The mails left for London at 10.30 p.m." EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (DY SUDYARINI mei:mars.) PARIS, SUNDAY. The Countess do :Horny has given birth to a daughter. The Cour Imperials has pronounoed a judgment annulling the decision of the Tribunal of Commerce, and declaring Auguste Thurneyssen, of the house of Stieglits, not comprised in the failure of his son Charles. The Paris correspondent of the Independence Beige, writing on Saturday, says :—Tha Emperor made the following reply to the congratulatory address of the Diplomatic Corps : I receive with pleasure the congratulations of the Diplo matic Corps. I getter myself that all the sovereigns of Europe regard my raistenos as neoeisery to the main tenance of tranquility. I beg you to be the interpreters of my seknowleigments to the sovereigns and states th►t you The brother of the Grand Duke of Baden (the seine correspondent says) arrived in Paris on Satur day morning, to express sympathy withthe Emperor ; and Prince Louis Lucien Bonaparte, who was in Lon don, immediately after receiving intelligence of the event set out for Paris to congratulate the Emperor on his escape. It is added that at the reception of the legislative bodies the slight scar which the Em peror has on his face, and the trifling contusion of the eye which the Empress received from a fragment of glass, were clearly visible. (paox ova owx PARIS, SUNDAY EV1311140: The attack on the Emperor continues to be the subject which occupies the public mind to the ex clusion of all others. The precise dimensions and nature of the murderous weapons used are universally discussed with considerable variations, both as to fact and theory. It seems, however, perfectly well established, without going into inches of measure ment or ounces of weight, that the shells were of such small dimensions that they might be easily concealed about the person, that they were of such light weight that they might be tossed like an orange with accuracy of aim to a short distance, and that they were so constructed as to be almost certain to explode the moment they fell, and that with deadly effect. I have heard a report to-day that no less than fifteen were thrown, although only three exploded, but I doubt this very much. According to information which I believe to be accurate, one at most was picked up that had not burst, but it is not certain that the partied; who testify to having seen this one may not have confounded it with the one found on Pierri when he was arrested. It is certain that the projectiles were thrown from the street, and not, as was at first supposed, from windows opposite the Opera. A telegraphic despatch, dated Windsor Castle, has been received from the Queen, congratulating the Emperor and Empress on their escape, So far from any of the first reports of the catas trophe having been exaggerated, they all fall short of the truth. The number of the wounded, stated first at twenty or thirty, afterwards by the Moniteur at fifty or sixty, and again by the Moniteur of this morning at 117, is greater stilL I have myself seen a splinter of a shell extracted by Dr. 011ooke, of the Rue Filler St. Thomas, from the leg of a Madame Maurin, of Orleans, whose name is not mentioned in the Moniteur. The splinters of the shells themselves did the mischief, and not any bullets or projectiles contained in them. M. Duple, on resuming at the age of seventy-one his old seat in the Precurem-General's tribune of the Court of Cessation, has gained his first cause, and that against the recorded opinion of M. Trop long, the first President of that Court of the lut resort. The question in dispute, which is one of immense importance, and of every-day occurrence, has perhaps more than any other divided the opinions of French lawyers for many years. It is this—whether a wife married under the regime of community of gads (which regime, in point of fact, governs more than nine-tenths of the marriages in France) can after the death of her husband, or in case of a separation of property in his lifetime, claim the amount of her fortune out of the personal estate of her husband, in priority to his creditors. It is be yond contest that out of the husband's real estate she can, and this right of hers is designated by the Code hypothique legoie. But until of late years it was always thought that, in regard to the hus band's personal estate, the wife was merely entitled to come in on an equality with other creditors. This opinion was some time since combated by M. Trop long, who, before being elevated to his present dig nity, was known u a legal writer, with a reputation which may be compared to that of Lord St. Leonard's in England. His opinion has been frequently fol lowed by imperial courts in the province', and has been acted upon by the Civil Chamber of the Court of Cameation. The Imperial Court of Paris, how ever, presided over by M. Delangle, has gone against it, and last week the question came to be decided in the last resort, before the three chambers of the Court of Caisation united, consisting altogether of some fifty judges. M. Delphi, speaking as I have before had occasion to explain, not as an advocate for any party, but as an advocate for that opinion which in his own breast he, as a public minister, believed to be the right one, argued against M. Troplong's views, and the court yesterday pro nounced a judgment, which will hereafter have the force of law, deciding that the wife has no priority over the other creditors. The rules of French courts preclude the public from knowing by what majority this decision was arrived at, and whether M. Troplong's own opinion is changed by M. Dupin's arguments. The majority of the bar are decidedly in favour of the opinion which has prevailed. They say that the contrary doctrine was in reality agaList the Interest of the wife, for had it prevailed, no prudent creditor could have trusted the husband, howe•er rich he might be in appearance, without her signature, and then she might have found herself stripped of everything instead of taking her part with other creditors on the husband's estate. The first representation of a new play by M. Alex. Daum, jun., called Le Pile Nature!, the ad vent of which has been heralded by an extraordinary number of puffs preliminary, came off last night with immense imam The latest news of the health of the Kiteg of Wartemberg is more favourable. The cottea Mirka at Havre during the past week has been very WI, the sales being only about 5,600 bales. The stock is now 941,800 bales, against 01,000 at this time last year. Prices have undergone a alight fall. At Rouen the improvement in business which was noticed in our last report has cantinued, and an increased demand both fur cotton twist and manufactured goods is apparent. At Mulhausen there has been but little business doing daring the last week, acd the manufacturers have been obliged to make some concession in prices in order to effect sales. At Marseilles there has been a good busines s doing in oils and oleaginous seeds, and the market has shown great firmness. PIEDMONT. TURIN, JAN. 16. M. Cadorna, the ministerial candidate, has been elected President of the Chamber of Deputies by 88 votes to 44, against M. Arnulfo, the candidate of the Right. SPAIN. MADRID, :AN. 16. M. Isturitz, the new President of the Council of Ministers, has declared to the Congress that hetakes for his programme the Constitution of 1846. The names most spoken of for the Presidency of the Senate are those of the Marquis de Mirallores and the Count de Vilums. Isturitz's Cabinet is universally regarded as a ministry of transition, and it is not doubted, that, barring some new military revolt, such u would be in oomplete harmony with the "glorious traditions" of the Spanish army referred to in the Queen's speech, a government will shortly be formed on pure absolutist principle/. The Camarilla has within the last few days re sumed its influence on the Queen, and has dissuaded her from consenting to a dissolution which was pro posed by the Armero cabinet. Narvaez, who a few short months since professed to be a partisan of con stitutional liberty, is understood to have contributed a kick to overturn the late ministry. Tho Iberia of the 13th says The effects of the financial crisis have been felt in all our mining districts, especially at Almeria, Murcia, and Le nard., where the price of lead has fallen so much that several factories in the neighbourhood of Car thagena have left off work." The Espana of the 13th states that Esparta° is seriously ill. THE SOUTH AMERICAN AND BRAZILIAN MAILS. LISBON, bat. 15.
