A SPECIAL EDITION of the "EXPRESS" eontaining the results of the day's Ram, is polo lished every evenin' g daring the Sporting Seam, at six o'clock. Tax Conference of Paris hie concluded its labours en the subject of the organisation of the Danubian Principalities. These labours, in consequence of the _ . . . _ datarninedopposition of Aust r ia to the m s odlicationl in a Liberal ;nee of the Constitution first proposed, have not been without difficulty. The enemies of the Principalities have, indeed, carried their point of keeping them for the present under separate rulers. But in other respects the recommendations of Austria, of Turkey, and even of England, have been either set aside or amended. One of the propose e, it is known, was to give to the Porte the nomination of the first Hospodar. And when this was set aside, the endeavour of the retrograde party was to confine the nomination as much as possible to the Great Boyards, or high funetionaries. This attempt hes also bean defeated. Each of the Principalities is to have a Representative daemnbly, the amount of revenue required for the elections being considerably leas than was proposed by the three Turco-Conservative Pawns. And it is these assemblies that are to elect the liespodara. We have no precise details of the amount of the franchise. All we know is, that if it be at all a fair one, so as to admit the middle clam of the coaatry, the election of Hospodars from the liberal and patriotic party in both provinces cannot be deribtfUl. Such a result would in a degree console the country for the postponement—far it would be bet • the Union. An important consideration in the election of Hoe peders was, who or what should be the Government of the country during the elections, and previone to the installation of the new flospodars ? It will. be re membered what were the efforts of VOOOIIIDII, la, example, to render nugatory the Ind elections kr the Divan. If snob a man were continued es Celanese, the same dianatisfaction would have been produced in the country, and probably the same dangerous dissensions between the Powers. It hog, therefore, we are snared, been decteed by the Conferecct that the present Cal mecum should be removed, and that the Executive of the Principelities will be that which the law already provides, viz., a Government of three persons in each, consisting of the First Pre sident of the Court of Justice, and two of those who are actually Ministers. These men, whatever their tendencies, will not have the power to influence the elections seriously, or to make ass of eithor menace or money to intimidate or bey electors. Thus will the Porte lose the oppor tr -lay, or the instrument, by which it can interfere unduly in the elections or the administration. In addition to this satisfactory arrangement as to the provisional Executive, the Conference has decided that the Hospodar most be pos sessed of a certain amount of propnty, derived from two iodising= ar native parents. Under such a provision VOGOILMLII could not bars been sleeted, he being the sea of a Patiariot Greek. Indeed. it takes away all chance from the Fanarlota, and limits the Hinpoderate to Danubian born. Al though the coustry, mappens( the elaelicms to be fare and the fraaskise salsisotly open, would have taken airs of this Sit ilsolA still it is a guarantee of the inten d= of the Earopean powers in Conference to consider sad respects certain nationality in the Ronmans, and not allow it to be either set aside by the Porte, or mcrilloed to any intriguing Greek family. The most important conesence, however, to the desires of the Roumane is, if we are rightly Informed, the formation of a united Senate for the Principali ties, to sit at Pokshani, a town on the borders of both. It wvt at Brat proposed that this united body should be bat a high causal or mart of appeal, beside which each Principality was to have a Senate as well sie a Haase of Repveseutativen It has, how ever, been decided, as we learn, that there shall be no doable or provincial Senate, that each Principality shall have a separate Represses helve Assembly, and that the Senates of both shall be united. We are not ewers what exact attributes me given to this Senate; bat If it beer the swag, es we understand it does, it can not but prove an important concession, as well as furtherance, to the cause of the future Union. The Conference of Paris, we believe, hes WA undertaken to pronounoe upon the important vise tion of either land tenure, orof the Greek eonventa— most impertaat (motions indeed. One of the great YOSIODS for the Liberal leaded proprietors of Walla chia, and Will more of Moldavia, desiring and &- mending the Union of the Principalities adder • foreign prince, was their conviction that a ruler them endowed with power and prestige could alone settle the conflicting interests of proprietors and peasants. The universal opinion is, that no Hoepodar coda accomplish it, and that, as to the Ports, any Turkish authority meddling with it could only throw affair' into inextricable confusion. The Tarts do not un derstand independence in either noble or cultivator ; nee eaa they ever preside over the dtvaopme a t of a country after the ideas and habits of Christi/ AR civilisation. The Conference of Paris, we believe, parents= I the Principalities from Munnlase inter/mace, ea treat Russian invasion. Bat it leaves mat diticalt and Intricate questions still to settle. And we repeat it, the Union of the Principalities, with a strong Government bued upon it. wad bust have settled these gnostic'''. They will sot but to he delayed. Austria, or rather the Acids re volution, emancipated the serfs of Hungary, sad gays them the Mad. Ramie is advancing towards the emancipation of its serfs. The Principalities, THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 21, 1858. though its as are already emancipated, still leave the land question quite unsettled, and we much far that the kind of government that the Conferences of Paris is about to instal in the Principalities is quits unequal to deal with a question all-important in it s ▪ economical, and political bearings. What was wanting was a Government that eould place itself at once above the tntorehip of Aus trian, Russian, French, or English Consuls. Tbis a Hoepodar at Jassy and another at Bucharest can sever do. Ends althea will be the humble servant of *veer one, instead of being the prince of the nation ; end disappointment will accompany and panne the nomination even of the ablest men. As to the Porte, as far as we can see, it has quite as much lost its direct influence and immediate hold on the country, as if it bad consented to the Union. And had it yielded that, it would have retained the gra titude and respect of the Rouman to a degree which it can now never hope to attain. For such has been t►e attitude of Turkey, and the language of its mis taken friends, that every liberal boon to the Prin cipalities seems to come from Russia or from France, whilst all grudge and envy towards them have come from the triple and retrograde allience of Turkey, England, and Austria. Hama exposed some of the more salient evils of oar Private Bill Legislation, and traced them to their main source—the utter incompetency of bibs na's acting without fixity of procedure, or fixity of principle —it remains to deal with the beet made of remedying them. We may at once pam by u quite unworthy of serious attention the feeble and timo rous palliatives wbioh the two Committees suggest in their veil unsatisfactory Reports. These are mere improvements of detail (some of them hardly that) in a system radically bad: the real object is to do away with that system root and branch, and sub stitute a more rational procedure in its room. The principles on which this work of reconstruction ;bouli proceed are sufficiently indicated in the evi dence laid before the Committee, especially by Mr. JAMES BOOTH and Mr. ERSKINE MAT. In considering the subject it is necessary to range all Bibs or Projects of Private Legislation into two great clawed :-1. The unopposed. 2. The opposed. A different mode of treatment is clearly applicable to each. Taking first the unopposed projects, it will be found that the great hardship imposed on their pro- moters by the existing system ie the enormous tax ation to which they aro subjected by the House Fe- .1 levied upon them in the sitoonsive stages of their programs through both branches of the Legislature, The mein object, therefore, of reform in regard to unopposed bills is to relieve them from the pressure of this taxation by exempting them from the neon sity of being paned through these formal st-gee. The plan suggested for this purpo - e by Ur. Boars, the able Secretary to the Board of Trade, appears well calculated to meet the exigencies of the cask The substance of his scheme (which is pt:nted at length in another part of our columns) is this : In the came of any line not opposed either by land owners on the ground of interference with pro- ' , party, or by Companies on the ground of its being' a competing scheme, the Board of Trade (on con pliance to their satisfaction with the usual prelimi nary conditions as to plane, notices, and deposits, and on due security being given for the completion of the line) may signify their sanction to its construction by priblies tion of their certificate in the Gazette. Immediately on the publication of this certificate the Company (if a new one) is to be deemed incorpo rated, and may at ones proceed to the construction of the line. The formal incorporation of the Cow pony is to be accomplished by having its woo in serted in a general Public Bill which it is premed tie pass every Session, giving the authoritative asedienes floc of Parliament, once for all, to all the schansithnt sanctioned by the Board of Trade. By this simphmsd sommon-sense method of procedure ennything provided for, which, in the case oleo unopposed adi. way or other similar scheme, can ponibly be ah sired, while the preliminary cost of such a sebum to its promoters would be strictly confined be I& smarmy end legitimate expenses of plans, node*, deposits, and security, with a trifling charge in ad dition for proving somplianee with these Parlia mentary conditions to the satisfaction of the'Board of Trade. A plan like this can only be operaler with a single and very limited clew : the them (if such there be) that has an interest in thetheiate- Dance of the present exorbitant and exhithismate scale of Horn Fees. So tench for the reformed procedure in smooppmed Bois : now for the opposed Bills. The main evil bare, as we have already shown, Bows from two sources :-1. The inefficiency, uncertainty, and flue hating composition of the tribunals. 2. The ncoer.- oily for a twofold investigation—before the Lords and before the Commons. Obviously, then, the general nohow of as effectual remedy would be to substitute for the present Committees one competent end permanent tribunal, acting by fired ruks and on fixed. principks, and acting equally as the tri bunal both Vale Lords end Cos sous.—is foe*, of Parliament. Guided by the light of this plain prin ciple, it will not be difficult to form a conclusive opinion m to the relative merits of the two prin . aipal plans suggested to the Committees for thesub stitution of a more satidsetosy tribunal. The first el these two plass (it may he convenient to dis tinguish it as the Richards plan) was developed at sees length by Mr. McLain., who sow holds the cased Cannel to the 8211•11111. It is shortly this : let her members of the Howes of Commons be selected ea permanent Maims. of Committees as Private Bills t pay them wall and have sitting with them, In each Committee on sash separate Bill, two, three, or four unpaid average members of the House. By arranging all opposed bills ender four principal cate gories, or poem and having one of them paid perma nent Chairmen to preside for the whole of the Session over all the Co:mitt...on Bills referred to a given group, it is calculated that, with certain accelerations and improvements in the preliminary stages of Pri vate Bill businers, the average work of the Session can be got through he the usual time. The four Chairmen are ale. to act as a Committee of Pro cedure, with a view to introduce fixed and uniform rules of practice and principles of decision. It is beyond a doubt that the plan thew suggested is, in many respects, a vast improvement on the present haphazard and discreditable system. It strengthens the tribunal; by constituting the fear Chairmen into a Committee of Procedure, it fixes and meth*. dimes the metier ; by subjecting counsel to the con. teal of thew who ere well up to their wort and eenz seines of their authority, it tends greatly to cheek that dilatory and lax style et preasedieg white is Nee emcee ameeset others of the besetting meth ass et the present system. But with all these ad vantages it is liable to fatal objections. The trammel • it supplies is a mixed tribunal, with one competent Joie% and three or four *them, some of whom would in an probability be incompetent. The lees competent a man in sock a situation is, the lees he Blue the amassed of dictation. There would be no security that the competent Chairman might not be overruled by incompetent colleague.. Again, though these Chairmen are called permanent, that epithet is to be understood iub mod°. Their ' permanence depends on their continuing members of Parliament. A dissolution might at once deprive the country of the servion of the ablest of these so called permanent Chairmen. There is another and still mom formidable objection. This scheme and every similar scheme leaves and mart leave wholly untouched the evil of the doable investigation. If there be one thing more clearly made out by the evidence than any other, it is the utter impossibility of getting a mixed Committee of Lords and Commons to work together. The thing is utterly hopeless, and Mr. RICKARDS very wisely does not propose it. He is obliged to oontemplet, a second investigation before the Lords. It is unnecessary to say a word more in order to show that the Rickards plan does not supply the remedy which the public interests require. The other plan is that which wu advocated by Mr. DENISON in the Committee of the Commons, and ably developed before the Lords' Committee by Mr. ERSKINE MAT (the Clerk Assistant of the Reyes of Commons). This plan is simply the con stitution of an extra Parliamentary tribunal, com posed of (say) three judges of first-rate ability, not members of eithe► House, highly remunerated, and sitting continuously. The principal objections nrged spinet this plan are two—one of a practical, the ether of a fencifol or sentimental kind. The prat tled objection is that one tribunal could never get freeegh all the work. The primer is that it might do so with great ease. Asa permanent and highly skilled tribunal it would get through more work in a day than any average committee in a week. Its sit tings would be from 10 to 4 at the shortest, not from 12 to 4 at the longest, as is the eve with the Com mittees. The work of the Committees is confined to a maximum period of four months ; the sittings of the proposed tribunal, making every reasonable allowance for necessary inaction, would extend over a minimum of nine months. Being a single court, the necessity of retuning a host of counsel, on the chines that some might be able to attend (a necessity arising oat of the multiplicity of Committee-rooms, ell in operation at the same time), would no longerbe imposed on promoters or opponent', and it would be reasonable to insist upon the rule which has long governed the practice of the highest tribunal In the realm—the Appeal Cou-t of the + House of Lords—first no more than two counsel should have aright to be heed. For these and many similar reasons, which it would be tedious to specify, no doubt can be entertained that such a tribunal would be amply competent to beer and dispose of all opposed applications for projected improvements which might reasseably he expected to come before it. The other, or sentimental objection, on being exposed to the molt ord'uif test of reasoning, pre cipitates itself into mere noneerse. The objection le that to entrust a non-Pr l'amentr: I tribunal with the power of examining into and reporting upes projected improvements that interfere with private rights is a surrender of the frictions of legislation. The answer is simple in the extreme ; in the first place, to report on a reheme is not ti legislate upon it; the legislative act rests with Parliament. It is for Parliament to ague or disagree with the, Report; to confirm it, or to reject it, or to remit it for farther consideration. If it be said that this is what Parlirment will not do—that Pr-lir-nent, ea N proved by its invariable so quiescence in the d risioes of Committees, has virtually abandoned all ective interference, in its col lective capacity, with Private Bill - ' enw N. question, why should it be more objectionable for Parliament to acquiesce in the report of a tribunal, which is is the l , tghest degree competent, than in the repor' of tabunals which are notoriously and oonfamedly the reverse ? Blindly to confirm the reports of Cernesitt:es, however incom petent, is not to abandon the fauctioes of legislation, but to confirm the reports of any other tribunal, however competent it Is. Why ? Because the in competent tribunal is composed of members of the legislature, and the competent tribunal :4 not. Can anything be conceived more puerile and absurd? This, then, is the object at which the reformers of our Private Bill Legislation must aim ; every effort must be directed for procuring the establishment of a highly paid, thoroughly competent, and non-Par liaransiary tribunal, for the delimit& of that alert important businen now so ruinously mismanaged by Parliamentary Committees. The public must bestir thenissises in this matter, or nottOng will be done. The Railway Interest is fonr;dably represented in Parliament ; let no time be lost between 's and next Session in vigorously pressing thtt most import ant matter on the attention of all the • members who obtained their mats at the last election hoes theireapposed cennezien with,or knowledge of, rail way property. Every man who holds a railway share in the three kingdoms hes an interest more or less direct in the speedy suppression of that intole rable nuisance, the ex'st , ng cyst ma of Private Bill Legislation.

I pro pose to appeal from explanations to facts—to the only evidence indeed that can be perfectly satisfac tory to all parties, that of the picture and the sketch themselves. I am an artist, not a writer ; my pic tures were painted for publicity, my letters were not written for publicity. I would appeal, there fore, to my works as my justifloation, and as soon as the two works can be obtained, I will place them in a public gallery, and invite the public and the pro- fession to judge whether they justify the allusions and the controversies which have gathered about them.
