IN a survey of the workings of representative go vernment, nothing is more mortifying than to per ceive least foresight, steadiness, and judgment in those very parts and portions of the system, where such qualities were to be most expected. If one was asked where the principle of representation would work best, and produce the truest results, the first answer would undoubtedly be great towns and cities, in the chief agglomerations of the wealthy, the indus trious, the enlightened. If, from supposition and from the d priori , we proceed to an examination of facts, experience will be found to contradict such judgments most flagrantly and lamentably. There are no electoral bodies so wavering, so uncertain, so ill provided, so driven backwards and forwards be tween two extremes, and during any length of time so unsatisfactorily, unfairly, and unfitly represented, as the great town constituencies of the empire. That in rural districts the g re at landlord should, despite the emancipation o f the Reform Bill, impose his will upon his thousand tenants, and send zealous Tory squire to parliament, is nothing either wonderful or unnatural. That in capitals, or dis tricts of capitals, where is little manufacturing industry, and where the population consists of the two extremes, the very wealthy, and thos e who live by the weal thy —that this last numerous class should divide into e ither the servile followers or the jealous and malcontent haters of aristocracy, and. thus make choice either of the ultra-Tory or the ultra-Radical to represent them, as either party or opinion waxed fervid this there is nothing but what might be expected. But that in great centres of industry, in head quarters of the middle classes, where there are differ ences of wealth but not of caste ; where the interests of all are perfectly identical; where there are so many means of mutual enlightenment and influence towards promoting a general unity of opinion; that such constituencies as those should go wavering between extremes, and be driven about "by every wind of political doctrine," is something disgraceful to them, and unaccountable to the public, which so much looks to their lead, and draws rules of conduct from their judgment. It is in our great towns that we perceive symptoms of that canker which is eating into the representative system of the United States, that is, the disgust of moderate and enlightened men, who shrink from the hustings even of their native town, leaving the duties of public life, and the task of representing their fellow-citizens, eithr to noisy demagogues or to men of o ffi cial eminence, e unknown to the locality, and willing to undergo the ordeal of an election, from the penalties and personalities of which they have the good fortune to be absent. Although these reflections are suggested by the approaching contest for Manchester, we are far from pretending that they fully apply. Mr. BRIGHT is no ultra-demagogue, who tunes his voice to carry away the applause of the multitude. lie is avowedly a champion of the middle, not of the lower, class. His very crotchets are exaggerations of bourgeois preju dices. His oratory is of the plain and energetic school, which befits his opinions. His denunciations of the aristocracy are not subversive, and are but the expression of fair, open, civic rivalry. We disagree with Mr. BRIGHT'S administrative opinions. His foreign policy, we fear, goes no deeper than a few phrases. His horror of whiggery . is a mistake, and amounts more to personal objection, than political differences. But, on the whole, Mr. BRIG= is the fairest and fittest candidate at all apparent for the representation of Manchester. We may conceive see fitter, perhaps, but where is such to be found ? And, indeed, the very good motive of the very great debt of political gratitude, which Manchester owes to Mr. BRIGHT, might alone deter any other man of liberal sense and feeling from coming forward. What shall we say, then, to the preposterous and insidious idea of proposing Lord LINCOLN as a compe titor? Lord LINCOLN is a very respectable official; a political serjeant, who has obeyed the PEEL word of command in falling to the right, or to the left, im plicitly as that commanding officer called out. He is an indefatigable, obedient, invaluable servant to a Premier, but, at the same time, a nobleman so totally without any idea or will of his own, that his elec tion for Manchester would be an eternal slur upon the independent pride and intellectual pretensions of that city. Sir JAMES GRAHAM might as well stand for Lon don as Lord LINCOLN for Manchester, and with far ore claim. But we should like to see the merchant ' enough to put him in nomination. The excuse his Manchester organ for setting up Lord is amusing. It is simply the plea of Dog respect, viz., " that he has had losses." l to Parliament by the landed interest, he it, and therefore he is to be caught up and the mercantile interest, in order to allow ;. opportunity for making his peace with the which he belongs, and to which, sooner or e will most surely rally. One can well 3 Old Sarum to be made a consolation and for men of any party who, growing too for that party, have broken with it. One rejoice at seeing the havens of small con cies open to such men. But that Manchester become a refuge for the political destitute, and • French call a fiche de consolation for errant really bringing the second city of the king- low. Manchester has a proper feeling of pride, it take care to have such representatives as could parties, and profess an independent and opinion, instead of electing mere joints of a 1 tail. There was one man in the empire to Manchester, and that man was COBDEN. ,iven pretexts for his refusal in the state of .lth, in his attachment to Stockport, and in . considerations. But Mr. COBDEN is possessed thorough vitality, and of health which, though venient as an excuse, is quite good enough for great and noble tasks to which nature destined II is attachment to Stockport is graceful and but Mr. COBDEN, if blind to the vanity of 'sl importance, is not blind ht its use and nor would he have refused he increased more canto. bold enough given in hi LINCOLN is berry to re Returned to betrayed it, tried by thi i ~ a similar op] ea ste to wt later, he w conceive 01 retrieval fo liberal for 11 should vejoi etituencies should been what the F Tories, is re iom very 11 i If Nlancl should take dictate to honoured o i 1 ministerial represent Ho has „iv his health. i 1 I other cons of thoroug convenient those grew him.

THE Chronicle, of yesterday, uttered some very regular dicta, d propos of the recent case of death from starvation. "Privation of thinys that purnal, "is not an ailment that like paeans, short tune after meals:" Amongst all the aphorisms of Jos Mate lit there is nothing more true than this. People certainly do not die of starvation shortly after a meal,oßD AUN unless it be such a meal as t hat of poor LOUI SA MT, amotuitlias to half a split pea. Mi ss MORDAUNT, however, after a Very long Course of preparative star vation, did, it seems, eat something t hi s s omething the on the day , before she died. On author of Medical Jurisprudence declares she shoul d h a ve lived t she did not do en days. And be cause so, the journalist assures us she could not have died of starvation. "The immediate same of death was opium of the lower intestine, soused by eseeesive privation." Starvation had nothing to do with it ; and to prove it, we have a long list of persons who lived three weeks or four weeks without food ; one of them, a lady, who sewed and knitted during this long process of inanition. We should strongly recommend to any of the living female cases of starvation co m ma gong on in Marylebonc, where the experiment is on perma nent trial, not to let the relieving officer of that union catch a glimpse of the sewing and knitting. De self- cidedly he would refuse a crumb to intercept the sacrifice of the patient. We crave pardon for employing a tone of levity upon a subject so harrowing, and must plead in excuse the nature of the arguments which ptovoke We know not which is more pernicious, that exube rant zeal which would palliate every fault, and slur over each gross act of inhumanity springing out of the new Poor - Law; or that Indian yell, raised by cer tain parties, whenever the functionaries under this law can at all be descried or aimed at. The ease of the MORDAUNT family was one of the m ost culpable neglect on the part of the parish officers, and too much zeal could not be spent in their exposure and punishment. But we meat own, that in other cases, since got up, the proofs are not so complete, nor is the inhumanity so appa rent. The infant of JOSEPH 'WOODWARD, the inquest on whose body appears in to-day's paper, did certainly not die of hanger. Nor is there by any means the same proof of inhumanity or neglect. Publicity is the true cure for a repetition of such cases, that pub licity provoking the due exercise of their authority by the Poor-law Commissioners. But we can see no advantage to be gained by the coroner or his deputy undertaking to scold the overseers, or by the proceed. ings of a court of justice being turned into a war of partisanship. We referred the other day to a rule laid down in a circular from the Poor-law Commission, that all such cases of death from destitution ought to be the subject of special inquiry by the Board of Guardians, the public not being excluded from that inquiry. If such a rule had been acted upon, the overseers and reliev ing officers would be more alert in their duties of humanity, and less so in those of sparing their own time and the union money ; and we would not now have this series of inquests adding to the unpopularity of a law which is made the scapegoat of all suffering. That a metropolis like ours ever could or did exist without frightful instances of destitution and suffer ing is not to be expected. No poor-law, old or new, ever could or did meet all such cases. But, when they do come under the cognisance of the proper officers, for the unfortunate victims to be repelled with such rules, as the being under age or over age for charity, is a most revolting aggravation of inhu manity. If there be a person or a class in our streets to whom a pittance should not be refused, it is certainly the young and virtuous female. Yet to such the relieving officer of Marylebone would turn a deaf ear. He would tell her she was too young for charity, and should bring her youth to a more profitable market. But all these cases and investigations prove, that the Poor-law, or at least the administration of the Poor-law for the metropolis, requires rules and machinery more flexible than those employed in rural and thinly peopled districts. The most doughty champions of the Poor-law admit, that the work house test, admirable in the country, must give way to the labour test in the manufacturing towns. There are indigent classes in our vast metropolis to which neither can be rigid/ applied, without producing such acts of cruelty, injustice, and suicide, as woulil w eigh down any law proved to lead to them, or to -eider them as natural and tolerable results. Tun only true test of the comparative merits of the French and English systems of railway management is to be found in their results. Which of them has given the greater amount of railway accommodation to the public, and enabled the railway companies to develop the more extensive traffic ? The following tables will be found to throw some light on the question. They present the number of miles of railway actually worked by the leading companies in England and France at this moment, and the weekly receipts about the middle of last month ZNOLIEN.

London, the great centre of monetary opera tions, has an unbroken line of railway communication with Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Sheffield, Leeds, York, Hull, Newcastle, Bristol, Southampton, Brighton, and Dover. Birmingham, Manchester, Sheffield, and Leeds, the great centres of manufacturing activity, have an unbroken chain of railway commu nication with Liverpool and Bristol, Hull and New castle, and London, the principal ports on the east and west sides of the island. The manufacturers and traders of Birmingham have, for some years, been able to transact their London business in person, instead of subjecting them selves to the delay, uncertainty, and expense of correspondence or intermediate agents. Within these few months the same power has been conferred by our railways upon the inhabitants of Liverpool and Manchester. To such an extent are they now conveyed more expeditiously and cheaper than formerly from place to place, that slight local variations in the price of teas have rendered it worth the while of dealers to make the same lot of goods perform the transit from London to Liverpool and back again more than once. As yet the railway system of France has only con nected the metropolis with the great trading towns of Rotten, Orleans, and Touts, and, a part of the manu facturing districts towards Belgium. Strasburg enjoys a railway communication with Switzerland, but Lyons is yet unconnected by railway with any great port, or with the metropolis. Havre, Nantes, Bordeaux, and M ar seilles are not linked by rail way to any great centre of productive in dustry, or to the metropolis. In Great Britain, there is not a branch of manufacturing industry or commercial enterprise that has not received a fresh impetus from railways being brought into general use ; in France their influence in concentrating pro ductive industry and rendering it more effective is as yet scarcely felt. Looking to the comparative prosperity of railway undertakings in the two countries with a view to draw inferences as to the probability of their immediate extension, the more favourable pros pects of this country are equally marked. Labour ing though they have been under the disad vantages of extortionate prices for land, exorbi tant expenditure on the legal forms of transfer, and heavy taxation, the great companies we have named are steadily extending their ramifications through the TILE.

When we turn t o Frauee, on the contrary, we Rad rumours rife about an arrangement between the Northern and the Lyon' ootnpanies, the object of which is to enable the former to postpone till May the payment of a call made for January ; and are told that projects of law are ready against the opening of the Chambers to relieve the lines from Bordeaux to Cette, from Lyons to Avignon, and then esternhem lines from part of the obligations imposed ot in their contracts with the state, and to ex tend the time allowed for the c ompletion of the lines. In England, then, we find that the ra ilway system has already given a s ensible impetus to the powers of productive industry; in France scarcely any thing of the kind is perceptible ; in England the means of railway accommodation are being rapidly and securely extended: in France the progress of railway construction seems in danger of being arrested alto gether. But the adv.tcates of the French system of railway management, instead of taking into view their results as a whole, pertinaciously shut their eyes to everything but one item. You tell them that our railways materially promote manufactures (and agriculture too) and commerce; that they are prospering and increasing in number ; while in France the very reverse is the case ; they pay no a ttention, but repeat that theta es for passengers is are higher in England than France. To th it seems a suff icie nt answer that the English are ra il wa y companies have greatly reduced, and still reducing, their fares; that by doing so gradually and cautiously, as experience showed it was safe, they have maintained themselves in such a state of prosperity as enables them to afford continuously i ncreasing accommodation to the public ; while the French railways, nt to fares tied down by the arbitrary prescript of governme fixed arbitrarily without stiffici e nt reference to ex are brought to a 'Wad. - ---f—=---- - - - - A ROYAL ordonnance has been published in the Muniteur, prescribing certain reductions in the Cus toms Duties on a few articles of no great commercial importance. According to the eulogistic commentary of the Prase, the great merit of these reductions is that they *ill cut away the ground from under " one of the most specious and hackneyed arguments of the free traders." In addition to this effect, they are ex pected to benefit the commercial marine of F rance the, by mcreasing the advantages i t already en j oys over shipping of other nations. It is really scarcely conceivable that the infinitesi mally small changes contemplated by the ordonnance can have any sensible effect in either of these re spects. The commodities on which the modified duties are imposed are Peruvian bark, marbles, nitrates of soda and potash, and the resinous pro ducts of the west coast of Africa. Peruvian bark, it is acknowledged ev en b y the panegyrist of the Presse, constitutes a very insignificant item of freights ; the reduction of the duty on marbles it admits to be very slight. The main feature in the alteration of the duties on the nitrates of soda and potash is, that they are assimilated; and the gum copal and resin of Africa aro secondary articles of commerce. The reductions, too, are only made on the articles named when imported in French vessels ; when introduced under a foreign flag, they are sub ject to the old rates. To the general trade of France the modifications will be entirely imperceptible, and any advantage conferred upon the French shipping interest will be found too slight to awaken gratitude. It is truer, none but imperceptible changes could be expected to be equally acceptable to parties so diametri cally opposed as that which asks differential duties to protect native shipping, and that which asks equal duties in order to leave trade free to flow in its natural channels. But as imperceptible changes can at best only be received w ith indifference )3y either, the French government might have spared itself the trouble to play such a super-subtle game. The mere attempt to please both parties will render both dis trustful. The most sensible provisions of the ordonnance are those which add Rouen to the number of towns in which prohibited goods are allowed to be entered in bond, and authorise the importation of cast-iron cradles for railways, and wrought and polished mar bles from Corsica, free of duty. Trivial though the ordonnance be, still it ought to encourage the libres ichangistes. Hostile bodies are always most effec tively charged when in motion: even this parade movement of ministers will offer a chance of driving them more easily from their obstructive position. The Aurnal des DAats of Sunday gives the follow ing account of Lord Palmerston's protest about Cracow, which no doubt the writer of the French . . official print has seen. Lord Palmerston divides the question into two; con siders first the right, and secondly the necessity, of absorbing Cracow. As to right, the British minister I clearly establishes by the text of treaties and the solemn engagement of eight powers, which could not be annulled by three, that no such right exists. Next as to the necessity, Lord Palmerston does not admit this either. When three of the most powerful states of Europe invoke the neces sity of destroying a poor little republic of 140,000 souls, the plea of urgency is absurd, or in diplomatic language, not admissible. The Powers complain, that Cracow was a centre of intrigue and conspiracy. Admitting this, the persons who thus conspired were either Cracovians or strangers. If they were the latter, the three Powers are in fault for letting these strangers penetrate into Cracow, whose territory they surround. If these conspirators be, on the contrary, natives of Cracow, how could the Republic refuse, to three such powerful neighbours, the request or command to stifle such intrigues, and put an end to such conspiracies? Even if they re fused, they might be compelled, without any breach of treaties: The article in the Daily News of Friday, on the Cracow measure, and its diplomatic results, is quoted and commented on by the ministerial journals of that city. The news from Portugal, which arrived exclusively by the Daily News of Thursday, has occupied the Paris journals. Disturbances had broken out in some of the depart ments of France, in consequence of the dearness of provisions, and attempts were made to prevent the removal of grain purchased by foreign merchants. These were, however, easily suppressed without serious results. The Journal des De6ats says: " On the 24th ult. disturbances connected with the high price of provisions, more deplorable than any yet recorded, occurred at Chateaurenault. Towards 1 o'clock in the af ternoon, notwithstanding the presence of a brigade of gen darmerie, the corn-market was invaded by a body of .500 or 600 persons, who commenced selling by auction the sacks of wheat in the corn stores at 23f. for 12 bushels. M. Pesson, the mayor of Chateaurenault, having been apprised of these facts, haster.ed to the scene of disturbance, and endeavoured to persuade the multitude to desist. But all his efforts were in vain, and the sale by auction continued. Quarrels, however, soon began amongst the buyers. The crowd next rushed upon the sacks of wheat, divided the corn, and carried it off without payment, notwith.tanding the exertions of the gendarmes. The rioters next repaired to the dwelling-houses o, two persons accused of having purchased corn on commission, but they were fortunately from home, and thus they escaped the contemplated violence. A hod; of troops having arrived in the meantime,l6 of the most daring of the rioters were captured, and order was restored. The market which was held at Azay le-Rideau, on the following day, was disturbed in the same manner as that of Chateur nault. A serious decline in the price of wheat had already ' taken place, when the multitude, not considering that suffi- I dent, began to express their dissatisfaction. From menaces the rioters proceeded to acts of violence. They took forcible possession of the corn stores, and commented selling the wheat at two francs the bushel. They moreover compelled the mayor to sell all the wheat is his stores at the same price, two francs the bushel. The Rtforme states that there has been a rise during the last week, in the price of wheat, in the corn markets of Bergerac, Montlueol, Treguier, Lune -1 v ille, Bayeux, and Charmes, averaging 50 centimes the hectolitre ; whilst there has been a fall in the corn m trkets of Louvicrs, Lille, Vic-sur-Aisno, and Couloni miers, averaging 1 franc the hectolitre. The mail coach from Paris to Limoges was stopped on the afternoon of the 24th ult., between Orleans rusheda Ferte-Saint-Aubin. Three highwaymen at the horses' heads, and endeavoured to compel the courier to descend from his seat, and to give them the keys of the mail boxes. The courier replied by cocking a brace of pistols, and threatening to shoot the first man through the head who should attempt to touch the coach. An officer of rank, who happened to be the only passenger in the mail, and who was well armed, joined the courier in his threats against the highwaymen. Having met a different reception from what they expected, the highwaymen fled and the mail continued its journey. The Tortfeuille, of Sunday, a semi-official organ of the Cabinet, gives an ardele on the Cracow affair, indicating, by its vagueneta, the state of indeeimion and difficulty to which the Guizot Canet is known It talks of eetablishing a sy bi stem ofgeneral t u be red equifibrium,of renouncing exclusive alliances, of the qty of an European congress, and other nebulous ge neralities. It contradicts very emphatically La Presse, which it will be recollected stated that, so far from Count 'Mole being called to the chateau, that statesman had Set been in Paris, and would not be there for some weeks. The Portefeuille retorts upon its official con , temporary, saying that is in a condition to declare th a t Count Mo did come from Champlatrouz to Paris ; that ho ld stopped there about two hours ; that he went to St. Cloud, where he had the honour of dining with the King and royal family and that on returning from St. Cloud he again passed through Paris on his return to Champlatrouz. The only mistake which the Portefeuille acknowledges is in saying that the count was received at the Tuileries instead of St. Cloud. Speaking of the present state of the cabinet, the Courrier .Francais says: The ministerial crisis has ceased. The Minister for Fo reign Affairs is flaw more firmly than ever in possession of his portfolio, and the London journals, in their eccentric fits of ilbhumour, may infer that the Court of the Tuileries has struck to with the violeassion of M. Guizot. For our own part, we see it end the same indifference with which we saw it commence, that pitiful crisis having convineed us of the ine ffi ciency of the men denominated ixarible in the poli tical jargon of the day. By his concessions and pusillanimity, M. Guizot has encouraged the Absolutist powers to consum mate the most revolting iniquity. And who is designed as a successor, when the France of July shudders with impatience and indignation, arid burns with revenge ? Count Molt —the man who evacuated Ancona territory of Belgium to the man who, at our very ga t e s, allowed a portion of the be mutilated the man, finally, whom M. Guizot himself, during the storms of the coalition, accused front the tribune, and with j ustice, of having suffered the di g nit y of the coun try to be degraded on all the paints of Europe where in questions were agitated. M. Guizot or M. ! The 15th of April or the 29th of October ! Behold the alternative held out to France, when she is insulted and defied beyond her frontiers, and when to punish such insolence she would require all her energy and patriotism. M. Guizot or M. Mole! We are mistaken, M. Thiers is, no doubt, lurking behind the scenes, waiting to mount upon the stage, and to sacrifice (as the others would), our principles and our honour. M. Thiers signal and indisputable qualities and titles. as he not heard to declare, in the Chamber of Deputies, that Poland, being a flat country, could not think of reconquer ing her nationality ?' Was it not he, who in 1836, during his second ministry, shrugged his shoulders, and turned a deaf car to those who cried out to him that the independ ence of Cracow was in danger, and that it behoved France to interfere ? The intrigues of M. Thiers and M. 5101(.t will once more prove unavailing. M. Guizot keeps his portfolio, and, as it is no more contemplated—WO do not say to acheir t against the northern p o wers, hut—to protest against t infamous usurpation, we may now appreciate the value of those transports of rage of which the Ministerial journals offered to us the spectacle during some days. It was on the 6th of November that the Powers signed their monstrous con vention; and, although twenty-three days have since elapsed, France has not yet even expressed her displeasure. Our rulers await, or rather pretend to await, that England come to a resolution, as if, in such a question, France was not to assume the initiative ! As if ngland, in spite of herself, will not be compelled to fo ll ow the example set to her The Madrid journals and private correspondence of the 23rd were received in Paris on Sunday, but brought no intelligence of importance. The elections were in progress, those of Madrid presenting every prospect of being favourable to the ministry. The Bourse remained steady. PARIS, Nov. 29. The rumours of a modification of the Cabinet continue to gain ground. These rumours are sus tained by the dissension which appears to exist be tween the members of the Ministry. Pd. Guizot, feeling that his hour is come, wishes to give himself the advantage of an energetic and rational attitude. He gives it out that if the king or the parliamentary majority set him aside, it wilt be for the purpose of committing an act of weakness. This statesman, who, until now, had affected to disdain a popularity which he could not attain, seems now ardently to seek it; and the minister of "peace at any price" willingly transforms himself into a thunderbolt of war. The dis ' agreement between the ministers arises from the fact that M. Guizot thinks of replying to the confiscation of Cracow by a counter-infraction of the treaties of Vienna. The Minister for Foreign Affairs proposes to re-establish the fortifications of liuningue, which were demolished in 1815, and which commanded the passage of the Rhine above Basle. The Minister of the Interior supported by the Keeper of the Seals, who is in the confidence of the King, openly opposed this project. The re-establishment of Huningue would be a poor satisfaction to France for the national indignation. We have never admitted that the northern courts had it in their power to prevent us from doing what we pleased in our own territory, and it is now some time since Marshal Soult declared in the Chamber that the French government was free to rebuild the walls of Huningue. This right could not therefore be the consequence of the occupation of Cracow. It belongs to us, and we have never alienated it. M. Guizot perfectly understands the situation, when he thinks that our government, witnessing the inso,ent usurpation which the northern powers have ventured upon, cannot confine itself to a pure and simple protest. Protests never arrest the acts of tyranny, and it is nut with tyrants that words can supply the place of acts. But where M. Guizot deceives himself is when he supposes that he will frighten the northern powers, or appease the anger of France, by adding a few stones to for tifications half destroyed. This project will only be looked upon as a pitiable parody of the for-seeing policy which assumed the initiative in 1840 of fortifying Paris. If the fortress of Huningue were a means of disquieting the enemy, and of defending our frontier, in 1815, such a step is not sufficient at the present time. The railroad from Stras bourg to Basle has completely changed the strategical con ditions. To defend a frontier much too vulnerable, it would be necessary to seize upon the ground both before and behind Mulbausen, and fortify the approaches to St. Louis, or those of Than, at the entrance to the Vosges. Hunin gue is at present beyond the new line of communication ; it would not be necessary to attack it in approaching from Basle, and nothing could be easier than turning it. You may, therefore, easily believe that public opinion sides neither with M. Guizot, nor with M. Duchlitel ; and the question of Huningue produces only a very alight sensation. Without doubt there is no one here, with the exception of the violent republicans, who form a very small minority, who think of making war on the Rhine or on the Alps. But every one considers the treaties of 1815 (these tre ities which the northern powers tear at will) as having ceased to be binding upon France ; and this is the declara tion which the French government, if it be solicitous for its honour and duty, will signify to the representatives of M. Metternich and the Emperor Nicholas. I shall not inquire if the inaction which your journals counsel England to adopt with such a crime committed, is really suitable or unsuitable to her policy. But be sure of this, that inaction is impos sible to France in the present case. If the ministry confine themselves to • protest, the Chamber of Deputies will demand more ; and, whether they wish it or not, this ques tion will raise a storm in the approaching session. U. Mole, in consequence of the interview which he had with the King, thinks himself certain of returning to power. He has made known his expectations to the leaders of the nppo alarm, without whose support or forbearance he could not maintain his ground. His ministry would, however, be only ono of transition. But Ido not think it so nearly at hand RS M. Mole imagines. 101. Guizot will Root till the opening of the chambers, and if be sink then it is better it should be by a tempest than by an intrigue. 0. of ROME, Nov. 18. Nothing of a political character has occurrred here since I sent you an account of the grand ceremonial at the Lateran church ; nor is anything yet known of an intimated intention, which I hinted at last month, on the part of the pontiff to address the Roman people in a series of homilies in that ancient Basilica, after the old fashion of Leo and Gregory " the great." The last Pope who made his appearance in a Christian pulpit was the Bolognese Lambertini, about a century ago, an undeniably great man, and the first canonist of his day. Since then the only harangues pronounced by Popes have been " allocutions " to the college of car dinals, mostly distinguishable for bad Latin and preme ditated obscurity. The late Gregory, on one of these occasions, took a fancy to denounce the freedom of the press as "damnalyikm imprimendi lieentinm." The press throughout Europe is likely to return him the compliment. The common people of Rome have already adopted from Tuscany and the legations the term "frataccio," as embodying their notion of his reign and character. The utmost activity, meantime, is discernible in every department of administration, and every lawyer of any eminence is deeply engaged in assisting the labours of the sovereign for the emendation of a most defective code, which has been retrograde while all Europe was progressing. In the legations the petty despotism of each successive local satrap had never been controlled by any well-defined limits of autho rity : those limits arc being fixed, and means of appeal facilitated, so as to render the functions of these legates somewhat analogous to those of French Pre fects of Departments. Each district and municipality is to be fairly represented in the persons of responsible landholders, whose voice is to be heard potentially in matters affecting the improvement of their respective territories. The most sanguine partizans of progress appear satisfied at the pace which regulates the ad vance: if not a gallopping reform, 'tis a good smart trot— Putrem eonitu quatit ungula campum.

M. de Monmerque, inspector of the line, was standing on the engine according to the duty of his office, and by some mishap or other fell off. The engineer, who was also on the engine, perceived, on reaching . Sablons, that M. de Monmerque was missing.

The . body of the un f or t una te gentleman was found greatly mutilated, lying near the rails, his head completely severed f rom the bod y . RIOTS AT 13 OULO GNE.—Sir,—Irt your journal I find an account of a disturbance which took place at Boulogne some days since in consequence of the exportation of potatoes from that port, which had the effect of raising the price of that article of produce in the market. Your correspondent says: " The authorities have received several remonetranses on the subject, but the love of gain has hitherto induced them to turn a deaf ear to the complaints of the people." Now, sir, the only remonstrances received have been anonymous threatening letters sent to M. Adam, the Mayor of Boulogne, for all persons of education are aware that im portation and exportation are both freely permitted in France, on paying the customs fluty mentioned in the tariff, if the article be subject to it, otherwise without pay ing any duty ; and that it would not only be improper, but iu the highest degree illegal, for local authorities to attempt to interfere with operations of commerce carried on in ac cordance with the laws of the country. The authorities may regret the exportation of potatoes, but cannot prevent it; as for the gain they derive from it, I cannot see where it is, seeing that the town has engaged to pay the difference to the poorer classes if bread rises above a certain price, and that they have, in consequence, a direct interest to prevent anything calculated to produce a rise in the price of provi sions. In the late disturbance at Boulogne, the authorities did all in their power to preserve order, and expoted them selves to an angry mob in their endeavours to do so. Surely their conduct only merits applause, and now that order is restored, there are few in Boulogne who will hesitate to bestow it upon them. The ringleaders of the late disturb ance have been arrested, and a sufficient military force sent fur to protect the operations of commerce. If exportation of any article of food raise the price to any considerable extent, it will then become advantageous to import again from neighbouring markets ; but surely it is unnecessary for me to make such an observation in one of the leading papers of Europe, so well known for its true appreciation of questions in poli:ical economy. In conclusion, let me add that Bou logne is prosperous under the administration of M. Adam, the majority of its population contented and employed, and that wheat has fallen from 29 fr. to 26 fr. 81e. a hectolitre in its market during the past fortnight —S. W. W. ITALY.—A letter from Rome, dated Nov. 12, to the Augsburg Gazette, says " W. Waghorn arrived here the day before yesterday from Naples, and left yesterday for Ancona. During his short stay in our city he had con ferences with some high functionaries of the government. According to his new plan, the Indian Mail would go from Alexandria to Brindisi, as soon as a railway is open from that port to Naples, and from Rome to Naples on the one hand, and to Ancona on the other. From Ancona the mails would proceed to Trieste by steamer." GERNIANY.—FRANKFORT, Nov. 22.—1 t is still uncertain whether Cracow will remain a free city (like Brody), or whether it will be included in the jurisdiction of the Austrian Customs. The merchants of Cracow are very important purchasers at the fairs of Frankfort and Leipsig. It is hoped that Prussia, the most important state of the Zollverein, when it was decided to abolish the Republic, has taken care to provide for the interests of commerce, which is already so restricted in the eastern provinces. Nov. 24.—The Vienna Gazette publishes a com mercial treaty between Austria and the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. By this treaty the differential duties on the pro • ductions of the two countries are to be abolished, and an entire freedom of trade and navigation between them to be established. The Council of Administration of Warsaw has given notice that tke existing duty on coffee, of fifteen silver roubles per cwt., shall be placed on an equality with the duty levied on that article in Russia, viz., nine silver roubles and twenty-five copecs. The Cologne Gazette at length breaks the silence which it has hitherto observed relative to the affairs of Cracow. It endeavours to prove that France and England have no right to attack the measures adopted by the three northern powers. The author of this article, after having observed that in fact Cracow had for a long time no more than a shadow of independence, after having insinuated in the second place that Cracow was no more free than the lonian islands are at present, under the protection of Eng land, continues as follows : "By what right do France and England complain of the violation of the rights of nations? Is not Algeria also a free country, which the conqueror treads under foot in contempt of the laws of humanity ? Have the Cossacks treated Poland in a more barbarous mannir than the inventors of the razzias treat the women and children of unhappy Africa ? and have they not the same right to liberty and independence ? We do not mean to justify the partition of Poland, but it is not for the Guizots and the Palmerston to reproach us with it. We do not pretend that our ministers and statesman do better than France or England; but we affirm that they do not act worse." CRACOW. —As Russia and Prussia have no portion of the Cracow territor?, the communications on the frontiers of Russia and Prussia will continue as usual. The most recent news from Cracow is satisfactory. The citizens and peasants appear content with the incorporation. Many of the nobles had left the territory before the incorporation, principally for Breslau, where they remain quiet. GALICIA. The Greta-bothers has the following : " The news from Galicia is of an alarming nature. The presence of so large a body of troops has added to the want occasioned by a scanty harvest. Three new regiments have been ordered to Galicia, and the country is completely occu pied by troops. The men are quartered in the villages. The peasants, if forced to cultivate the land, do it without care. Numbers of them set control at defiance, and demand to share the lands of the murdered nobles. The government acted unwisely in following a mixed system ; it caused dis content amongst the nobles by favouring the peasants, and among the peasants who thought they were not favoured enough. The peasants of Galicia are remarkable for their brutality and ignorance, and whilst they resist the laws, the women of the better classes keep up an insurrectionary spirit. All the emissaries of the propaganda have not done one-tenth of what has been done by the Polish ladies, and if the men wished to remain tranquil the ladies would not suffer them to do so. It is a feature of Polish character." A report was current that the lodgment pronounced on some of the persons implicated in the tion is death by strangulation; but it is thought that the Emperor will commute the sentence into perpetual banish ment. TURKEY.—A letter from Mossul of the 19th, says :—" Bcderhau-Bey has already burnt down numerous villages of the Nestorians, and murdered, without pity, the women, children, and old men ; he has sworn by the Koran to exterminate the Christians as far as to the Persian frontier. What adds to the horror of such a massacre is, that be acts in concert with the Pacha of Mossul. The patriarch of the Neatorians, who since the massacre in Dschiilamerk, in 18t3, had resided at Mossul, where he was kept a sort of prisoner. He made his escape a fortnight since, to join his persecuted followers,but he was retaken about thirty miles front Mossul, and brought back in chains. The Ottoman government excuses the Pacha on the plea that he was not powerful enough to resist Bederhau-Bey, against whom it is very in dignant, and there are rumours of an army to be sent against him."

There is no doubt that much could be done by France, by mere moral ascendancy, towards emancipating the Italian governments from the gall ing despotism of Austria ; and few persons would hesitate to believe that Louis Philippe is ready to sacrifice ten Remo, and a hundred Cracowa, to the mere chance of securing a well-portioned partner to one of his sons.. Indeed, his mind on the subject is already pretty well known. Count Rossi , his ambassador to Rome (an Italian exile in olden times, and a Liberal), is said to be the bearer of instructions in sisting on the necessity of keeping friends with the I'ope at any mot. But can England do nothing in the matter ? Would not the presence, the peaceful mediation, and mode rate remonstrance of a British ambassador at the Vatican enable the Pope to act after his own discretion, and to feel at home in his own States? Does France exercise a'greater moral influence than England, or does she inspire greater confidence in her uprightness and consistency > No one is ignorant of the narrow-minded and bigoted motives that broke up all intercourse between England and Rome at the Reformation. But why should the obsolete notions of the 16th century stn id in the way of a liberal government in the 19th ? Is not the Pope, as a temporal ruler, acknow ledged by England ? Nay, was not England mainly instru mental in upholding that power in 1600 and 1814? It seemed good to the Duke of Wellington and Lord Castle reagh, in their wisdom, that the Italians should have a Pope. It may now be in the power of an English plenipotentiary to secure for the Romans as good a ruler as a Pope well may be. Once more, I would ask: Why is there not a British ambassador at Rome? L.
