WIIAT are we to think of a Representative System that fosters and encourages mach circulars as the following ?

Oa haralag Asa yen we will call on you lib/mead 'ben yea stey aa, gal go fully into the maitar.—We am ar, year very °What ervauts, For obvious reasons we have made omissions as to the date, the residence, and names of the writers, as well as those of the gentleman to whom it was ad dressed, in copying this precious communication, the original of which is now before us. It is a business like document, plain, simple, straightforward; the writers profess to be in the Parliamentary Borough Market, to have meats on hand for sale, and as there its a demand for the article, they offer to supply it. They do not want political principles, they are in different to party considerations, they care not one straw for either constituency or representative; they have the thing for sale, and they will dispose of it " at a very moderate expense." The circulars of cheap haberdashers or pushing tailors are not more to the point than the circulars of these new boroughmongera. They require jot as little introduction to you as the milkman or the butcher. With the single exception that they work their mituvee " private," they intrude on those they prestos likely to become customers with es little ceremony as any other tradesmen. Like them, toe, they enclose their cord, " Parliamentary and Rio " lion Agents;" a description of business for which Mr. KILL! VW have to open a new head shortly in the Poet•oDke Directory of London. Thus it is from bad we go to worse. Hitherto, or at least since the Reform Bill, boroughniongering has been a sort of special business which the re cognised agents of the two contending parties mono polised. They kept op correspondence with local agents, ascertained how the registers stood, what Quinces their party bad, what the coat was likely to be, the kind of candidate wanted, and then, after consultation with the subordinate party managers— Secretaries to the Treasury and Whippers-in --sent down the right sort of man properly endorsed from headquarters, when the occasion arose. This wu bad enough. But after all, it was not a trade by which the party agents in question either lived or 'attempted to live, it was part of a very mischievous and corrupting system for which the desperate struggles between Liberals and Tories, after the retirement of Lord Gary from power, were mainly responsible ; and to do the agents the barest justice, it was not a business fur which they made any charges. There were few men who had more to do with it than the late Mr. COPPOCK ; and he never thought of taking a fee for introducing a candidate to a borough. Bat this Circular discloses an attempt at least to Mart an entirely new line of parliamentary traffic— coo of pare bargain and sale—one which affects no party sympathies or political connexions, which covers itself with none of the decencies or excuses of party competition—one which is entirely personal and completely venaL It indicates that there are persons in London and elsewhere who propose to make the sale and purchase of seats in the House of Commons as much an ordinary commerce as that of brandy-balls or ginger-beer in our streets, who are willing to act as the coetermougers of political corruption. It matters little whether such people have all the means and opportunities which they profess to have ; it is very probable that they indulge in the exaggeration and disregard of truth which generally characterise traders who advertise cheap commodities ; it may be that the writers of this Circular have not on hand that interesting assortment of small borough, which they wish those who receive their communication to give them credit for having ; nay, we will be bound for it that any connexion with them ends in expense and dimappoiotment. All that is beside the grave part of the cue. Evil of this kind must have a be ginning ; this Circular shows that it has commenced on a systematic plan; that there are shrewd people who, having studied our electoral system, see their way to live and flourish as introducers to and pro- 1 curers of seats in Parliament ; and that a trade fatal to parliamentary independence has been opened. Party management of election has for some years been rapidly wearing itself out. But it will be • worse substitute if we are to have offices opened in London, not to supply party candidates, but to vend corruptible boroughs to the highest bidder—political bagnios, or houses of assignation, where money only is the currency that is appreciated or accepted. And yet, now that party organization is disappear ing, this, under our present system of parliamentary distribution, is its natural effect. In many small boroughs the combination of some half dozen people will often carry the seat ; and they have only to combine under the direction of London agents, for their boroughs to come into the open money market of England. And this is exactly the sort of mart which the writer, of thi. Circular aim at carrying on. The remedy is of course obvious. And whether Lord DERBI 'IS Bill applies that remedy will be one I test of its sufficiency or insufficiency. ne Court.

The Mooiteur of this morning contains the follow big :-" The Emperor has received a letter from the Emperor of Austria, announcing the death of the Archduchess Marie Anne (aunt of the Emperor Francis Joseph). The Emperor Napoleon has gone into mourning for four days. " A despatch from General Dermix announces that Bi-Sadock and his family, all abettors in the disturbances among the tribes of Aures in Algeria, have been arrested." (11011 OUR OWN PARIS. FRIDAY R,wwo. The only rumour of any importance to-day is one which greatly disturbed the Bourse, and which I have reason to think true, namely, that a treaty of alliance between France and Sardinia has been posi tively signed. Ido not think that Russia is a party to this treaty. The Bourse opened with an upward tendency, bat became very fiat in the afternoon. The Rente fell 35c. for cash and 25c. for account, closing at 68fr. 95c. in each case. Mobilier fell 17fr. 50c. The Orleans Railway fell 12fr. 50c. ; Lyons and South ern, 7fr. 500. each, and the other lines lfr. or 2fr. It is not yet known when the marriage contract between Prince Napoleon and the Princess Clotilda will be executed. Count Cavour, u minister of foreign affairs, is the crows notary, and it will be his duty to sign the contract in that capacity. The Monffeur has not yet pronounced the name of the princess, and therefore the people speak jokingly of the possibility of the young lady exercising a will of her own, and rejecting her suitor. This idea of course can be but a joke. There is no authentic confirmation of the rumour of the day that the King of Naples is dead. I learn from an entirely private source that his illness is acute rheumatism, with which he was attacked while crossing the Calabrian mountains. That is a disease which is not often suddenly mortal. He is in a very irritable state, and the letter which I have seen goes so far as to say that he lately struck a prefect. The Emperor taking advantage of the marvel lously beautiful weather (a fine soft spring day, with a south wind) went to St. Germain to shoot to day. Lord Cowley was of the party. Count de Morny has been seriously ill, but is better. Count de Lanememes-Breves, the independent candidate at the late election in the Indre, has lodged a protest with the prefect against the return, on the ground of fraud and illegality on the part of government agents.

The following are extracts from a private letter, dated Marseilles, 19th inst., received at Mr. Renter's office : The orders transmitted to the mllitery and naval authori ties at Toulon and Mantillas ere regarded as strong evidence at approaching war.

The Journal de Constantinople mentions that it Is in contemplation to have a universal exhibition at Con stantinople in 1860. The proposition is said to have been favourably received by the different embassies, and a com pany bid come 6:read to erect to. building for the purpose. A letter from Bombay of the 24th ult. says We have had several sailing regatta here during the pre mise month.

The robjoined narrative of the facts which preceded and mused the recent expulsion of the students from the University of Padua is from the pen of an eye witness. We are at no pains to reconcile it with the statement on the same subject published by an influential contemporary on Wed nesday, with which it so strongly contrasts ; it is enough for us to know that it emanates from a thoroughly trustworthy source. It is as follows " The Professor of Phy si cal Science, Sambre, died the 7th inst.inTrevise,andexpressed the wiah of being buried in Padua, where he had long been a teacher. The evening of the 10th the coffin arrived at the railway station, whence it was to be carried to the cemetery. The students hastening in great numbers to the station, asked for the dead body, which they intended to carry into the town in order to perform the funeral the next day. Leave was asked by tele graph of the Lieutenant of Venice, who granted it immediately. The students, all uncovered, took and accompanied in procession the coffin into the city, and passing through the most populous streets in vited the passers by, and even the military of every grade, to uncover themselves ; in this way, without disturbance, they reached the church of St. Andrew's, where the corpse was deposited. "The following morning, the 11th inst., the stu dents—who did not find there the body, which had been taken away and buried at night by the sol diery—not lees than a thousand in number, went in procession to the cemetery to deposit some wreaths on the tomb as a token of respect for the dead. This sentiment is unknown to the Austrian', who nut only forbid all solemn funerals, but, assimilating the dead to animals, exact at the gates of towns the game tax for the entrance of a dead man as for a pig. "The students, then, were shocked at the treat ment of their late professor, stolen from church and put by stealth into the ground like an infections beast, and agreed before parting to meet again in the evening, and to make a demonstration. Till this moment not a single voice was heard, and they se- , parated quietly as obeying superior orders. The new meeting of the evening was not leas numerous than the preceding ones; drawn up in files of four, they traversed from the railway station the principal 'treats and squares to the Place of Bt. Antonio, shouting from time to time " Viva l'ltalia!" " Viva Vittorio Emmanuel.!" "Norte alle spie ! " and there they parted, without any disturbance. It was a demonstration without attempt at infringing on order and existing laws. *The next day, the 12th, a delegate from Venice same, and caused a written advertisement to be posted at the gates of the University, ordering all' students to retire to their homes by nine in the even ing, and never to appear in the streets more than two together; at the same time, numerous and fre quent troops of cavalry and infantry patrolled the city. " At a quarter to two in the afternoon a corporal of the Hussars stopped with his patrol before the large gate of the University,. where, as usual, students were waiting for the beginning of the lectures, and abruptly . ordered them to disperse, saying that he had received instruction to disperse by force, if necessary, any gathering in the streets. Elsa perated by so unreasonable a summons, some of the students went to fetch the Rector Magnificus, who was absent ; the other', and those who arrived after, ignorant of what bad just happened, remained under the portico of the school, where the number was increased by those who came oat of finished lectures. The corporal and his patrol returned with a threatening countenance, and the students shouting and hissing began to shut the large gate, but the patrol, who had no right to pass the threshold, came in cursing and firing their pistols in the portico. The students having no arms to oppose that treacherous, infamous aggression, yielded to the persuasion of their professors, and withdrew by the side doors ; but new troops arrived, and took up all the gates, blocking them up till six o'clock. Then a mixed commission of soldiery and police employee examined the remainder one by one, arrested twenty three of them, besides some military students, who had previously been permitted by their superiors to attend the lectures. "At the same time, evidently in order to excite a serious revolt, the artillery began firing in the Prato della Valle ; the Gaffe Pedroechi was invaded, and every person driven away ; then it was left, then ' besieged again, and communications with the outside prevented. All the surrounding streets were occu pied by troops, the shops shut up, the traffic inter cepted, the Caffe della Vittoria, although empty, was invaded, and gleam and windows were broken with swords by the intoxicated soldiery, who insulted any of the citizens who had a pipe, or the looks, gesture, , or air of students; persons found in coffee-houses I frequented by students were arrested, and these houses shut up. "The same evening a printed edict of the police I ordered within twenty-four hours the departure of all the students not belonging to the city; in another edict the same authority threatened to proceed with the utmost rigour against the citizens , if the disturbance should not cease. This last edict ought to have been addressed to the soldiers, the only real cause of disorder. • Thote of the students who went with their lug gage to the station, in order to tranquillise thew parents with their lusty presence, were arrested in the waiting-rooms and brought to the police-office, where many were kept prisoners, and the others, under military eeoort, sent again to the station, to wait several hours for another train. Tho number of arrested persons is yet unknown. r " In fine, the board of the municipality was ordered to raze to the grow d at night a monumental column , that had stood outside Ports Codaluoga three cen ; tunes and a half in remembrance of a victory gained on foreign invaders by the inhabitants of Padua. It , had been repaired at the expense of Count Carlo , Leoni, and bore the following inscription Here was the bulwark where our own countrymen, with their free blood, punished the infamy of Cambrd and , the foreign invader, A.D. 1509, Sept. 29, memorable." , The column was taken away and concealed behind a wooden enclosure near the gate of Savonarola. " On the 13th and 14th nothing new, except fee , pent and numerous patrols walking even in day time over the city. It is only by frequent musters; r that Austria succeeds in holding the Italian poises , skim and provokes them; but the Italians, knowing that their time is not yet arrived, remain calmly brew ing their hatred again st their Austrian oppressors.

ELEPIIANTS.—Another thing to look at is the force and sagacity of those elepltante, which are gravely pulling two of our heary guns through the sand in which they have sunk, near the Kokrael-bridge. If the meptheria of the fossil world bad equal sagacity it is well for man they perished before his era.

FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—About half-past fife on Thursday male& a sad accident, unfortunately result ing in almost instantaneous death, occurred at the New street Station. An elderly female, at present unknown, was in the act of paring over the level crowing opposite one of the gate entrances to the station in Great Queen-street, jest at the moment that what is termed an " empty " engine was slowly raring up. Either not perceiving its approach, or thinking to peas in front of it, the old woman continued on her way, end before the driver of the engine could pull up she was knocked down, and so frightfully injured by the wheels and gearing of the locomotive, that when taken up she was found to be quite deed. A station policeman, who was as duty on the spot, observing the poor creature's dan ger, rushed up to her to pull her back, but was too late, and very narrowly saved Lis own life in the attempt, he being also thrown down by the ooneardon, end so badly shaken as to render his removal home desirable.

Early yesterday morning a fire broke tent in this well-known bathing establishment, and completely gutted the rooms of the western block of baths facing the sea, brides destroying • beth-room in the rear, and acing a good deal of damage to other parts of the same range of buildings. It appears that one of the rooms in question, viz., that adjoining the public reading-room attached to this set of bathe, wee used by Mr. Marsh's family as • dwelling place, various other detached rooms being devoted as steeping apartments to dif ferent members of the household. It was in the first-men tioned room the fire broke out, and thus stole upon the building without arousing any of the occupants of the remaining rooms until it bad obtsined a oom- Ora mastery. The alarm was first given by the coastguard upon duty, who perceived deer volumes of smoke issuing from the, chimney, which he at first supposed to be on Ara, and be accordingly aroused Mr. Marsh. Information was quickly given to Mr. G. T. Perks, the captain of the local Are brigade, who, with the most praiseworthy alacrity, got out the spparatus of the Local Bred, and in lees than twenty minutes had it playing upon the flames, when the Immense volume of water thrown by the hose very speedily had the effect of subddeg the conflagration, but not till the rooms we havo mentioned, with their content., were totally destroyed. The only expiration of the origin of the catas trophe appears to be that some ignited soot must have gat down behind the stove of the living -room and Pet fire to some of the neighbouring woodwork.
