No doubt he might easily have avoided the subject or dismissed it with a passing and perfunctory reference had he been so disposed. The interest attaching to the state of Italy is just now so great that he might, without exciting adverse exiticiem, have confined himself to foreign affairs, as many professed Li• bends in his polities would have been glad to do. But the _Noble Lord's convictions upon this subject are too strong, and hie inte rest in It too deep, to admit of his de grading it to a secondary place on such an occasion. His speech wee appropriately divided between the great questions of home and foreign policy with which, by character and poaitioo, he is identified. As Foreign Secretary he speaks for England in the Conseil, of Europe, and as • party leader he is the representative of Parliamentary Reform. Oa both subjects, therefore, he is pre-eminently fitted to be the spokesman of the Government at a moment like the present, when liberal principles are sting. slug for asceodancy abroad. and • Reform Bill is in mule of preparation at home. In both, however, the Noble Lord naturally addressed hiniseif to an exposition of principles rather than to any minute statement of details. The ocerdes wee • public recognition of the noble lord's dumb" sod auger. And the speech in which he acknovr lodged the high compliment paid him by the MM— us' of Aelsotto well illustrates those virtues which have enabled the noble lord to triumph over all temporary opposition, and secure the leads, admiration and respect of hie countrymen. Thee are, hie courageous and consistent attachment to Really liberal priacipleo, and his nooses in carrying est • liberal policy. No living statesman Gm rival Lied Joan Rusents, la the coodeteeey of his ham. The principles he advocated at Aber dame last week, whisk sew seem ahead ematepliese. see the Tory principles he urged ia Parliament upwards of 40 years age, whoa .they maid scarcely obtain a hearing. His my lest hash is Parliament, indeed, was in Einar etas prhaphi thee utterly repudiated, but now adopted by Government as the basis of its foreign policy—the right of • nation to choose it own governors. Few statesmes, too, here bees mere persevering or successful. To say nethiag of his mom in removing religions disabilities, take the question of Reform. After having brought In a bill oa this subject almost every merlon for a doses years he eventually carried the great measure of 1532. And now, after two or three onenotesetal attempts, he is engaged in the preparation of • wood measure, destined, we believe, to be equally hooreeful. What the particular details of his measure are, Lord JOIN Roseau. of coarse did not explain to his hearers at Aberdeen. This would have ham es impolitic es it teemed/id for. We know in general what say Bill that the Noble Lord would approve most contain, sad eau wait far the particulars till Parliament mists and the measure is introduced. Lord Joult Rosser.[. confined himself to the main to an exposition of the principles that should animate and guide a constitutional reformer in his work. And this " lecture on the representative system," as a contemporary calls it, is by no means so unimportant or irrelevant am he seems to think. Those who are most in earnest on the subject of Reform will be most careful to guard themselves from the imputation of being revolutionists. The aim of the true reformer is to correct and improve, not to destroy. And he is anxious to show, of coarse, that what he proposes is not only theoretically josh but in practical harmony with the Hope and design of the constitution. The first conditions of successful reformers are an intimate knowledge of the constitution, a practical familiarity with its working, and a genuine sympathy with its spirit. Lord JOHN RU:SELL appropriately reminds as that the constitution under which we live Is • moral growth, not a mechanical contrivance. Oar hes iostitationa, instead of being elaborated by reasoning into the enact proportions of a logical system, are the irregular and spontaneous reflex of the national life. They have grown with the growth of oar national freedom, and strengthened with its strength. They consist, in fact, of the various measures that have from time to time brooms necessary for the security of our nghts and liberties, the development and expan sion of our political freedom and independence. No doubt in this irregular growth there is plenty of scope for the reformer. There are anomalies to correct and deficiencies to supply. But the parts must be amended in harmony with the general design of the whole. And this requires cautious and firmness ma well ea constitutional knowledge and political sagacity. Wholesale reforms of a mechanical kind are easy enough. No. thing is simpler than to abolish with • sweep of the pen the present complicated and anomalous system of representation, and sketch one consisting of (qual electoral districts that would be far simpler, far more arithmetically oonaistont and complete. As Lord RUSSELL says, "any " apprentice or clerk to a land surveyor could pro- " duce a representative scheme of that kind." We have a number of such schemes already propounded i• pamphlets, periodicals, and separate volumes. Bat fortunately they are a.eless and impracticable; and those who urge them on public attention, however sincere, scarcely merit the epithet of practical re formers. If profoundly in earnest they would surely be lea concerned about their own hobbies, and apply themselves to the study of the system they vegan to improve. That system Is a practical one, formed to accomplish certain ends. A cessideration of these elide will suggest the direction that real and rational reformers should take, If there is any direction in which the system does not accomplish its obvious design there is scope for the reformer to step in, and by timely improvements render its working more efficient. Now, the object of our representative system is to extend the franchise to all who are able to use it; in other wards, to all who are intelligent enough to take an Interest in public affair., and independent enough toad without constraint.. If a number thus qualified are by existing arrangement excluded from the suffrage there is an imperative need for reform. That is the actual condition of the question. A con sideration of the general design of the constitu tion, and the direction in which this design is not fulfilled, suggests the course that reform should take. This is the position taken by Lord loam Russett and by all genuine re formers. He finds that a number are now excluded who are in every respect entitled to possess the fran chise. He does not regret this, does not mourn over as extension of the suffrage as at best a melancholy asesesity. On the contrary, as a friend of the oon stitation, he rejoioes at the prospect of its being adapted to the advancing requirement. of the people, and thus brought into harmony with its original de sign. This is the true light in which to regard the quo tion. Every patriot ought to be glad that the time has come for a large extension of the suffrage, and welcome the admission of intelligent artisans to the rights of citizenship as a national gain. The practical point of Lord Jolts Rimini..s speech, so far u reform is concerned, is the assurance that the gelation of the suffrage is now engaging the earnest attention of the Government. This is seasonable news, as a really large and substantial measure of reform will be looked for from the present Government without delay. The question can be delayed no longer, but most be entered upon at once when Parliament meets. THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 3, 1859. Cbe Court. BALMORAL. Ss?. lb.

It is asserted that his Holiness the Pope, on ob taining knowledge of the answer of the King of Sardinia to the deputation of the National Assembly of Bologna, had given orders that the Count Vittorio de la Minerva, Minister of Sardinia at Rome, should receive his passports. PROCLAMATION OF KING VICTOR EMMANUEL IN TUSCANY. FLORENCE, Oer. 1. _ A proclamation from the provisional government of Tuscany has been posted up, announcing that the government will from the present time exercise the power in the name of Victor Emmanuel, the King Elect, and that the flap will bear the arms of Sar dinia. Another proclamation relative to monetary reform applies the Sardinian system. The coins are to bear the effigy of the King Elect, with the arms of the hones of Savoy on the reverie. The seems of Savoy and the Italian tricolour flag We just been hoisted on the old palace. The Minister, presented themselves at the bal cony.

By another decree, all the corps of the national gaud are to have rifle practice daring the months of October and November.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. ctmom ova owx 0011111POIROIT.) PARIS, Ihntoey EVIXING. None of the journals appear to attar& any importance to the pretentious announcement of the Patrie. The Nord of Brussels, so far from supposing that a peace, "consecrating the preliminaries of Villafranca," is ready to be signed, avers that even the question of the Lombard debt is not yet settled, and says that no news of importance is to be looked for from Zurich until the Emperor's return to Paris. It is confirmed that he will not be back till about the 12th of the month. It was officially announced by the Mayor of Bor deaux, at a meeting of the municipality of that city on Thursday, that the Emperor and Empress would stay at Bordeaux on their way from Biarritz to Paris, and that their visit might be expected about the 9th or 10th of October. A programme of the fetes to be given on the occasion was agreed upon. The Emperor will take the opportunity of inspecting M. Arnam's ship-yard, where there are now on the stocks several gunboats (on the new model), floating batteries, and landing vessels. It is announced that the Emperor will pass the coming winter at the Tuileries, the thorough repairs involving the demolition of one wing of the edifice having been put off till next year. Projects of long imperial journeys in 1860 are already talked of, but they must necesdarily be very uooertain. The Sendinells of Toulon reports that all the pre parations for the Chinese expedition which were going on in the port have been suspended for several days, but that, on the other hand, the construction of the iron plated boats called blinder was being pushed on with the utmost activity. It is to be hoped that the talk of the Chinese expedition was not a blind. Some people infer from an order of the day published by Marshal Niel at Toulouse (where, by the way, according to the Independance Beige, he was not well received) that pesos will not be of long continuance. The Pope has taken a bold measure in sending the Sardinian ambassador away hem Rome. A collision between the pontifical troops and the army of the league is spoken of as imminent in several letters, but inasmuch as his Holiness, unless sup ported by France or Austria, or both, would, to a certainty, be defeated by Generals Fend and Garibaldi I think he will not willingly provoke a conflict at the present moment. A roe. respondent of the Prase, writing from Turin on September 30, says that in the night of September 26 some shots were exchanged between some out posts on the frontier, and that some men wounded in the skirmish are now in the Rimini hospital. The date assigned for this encounter, which could not but have excited great attention from the serious consequences likely to ensue from it, is rather re mote, and I think the story min scarcely be credited on the faith of a single letter. The Univers has a very violent article invoking ven geance against the enemies of the Sovereign Pontiff, but it is permissible to hope that its diatribes are not favoured by the French government, since its own correspondence from Rome reports that diplomatic relations have " re lapsed into an unfavourable phase." . _ _ A Milan letter states that the celebration of the anniversary of Mania's death at Padua led to several arrests, and that in consequence of the severe mea sures taken, many citizens had left the town. Some priests are said to be in prison. The cause of this regrettable occurrence is not stated. PARIS, SATURDAY ITIIIIIIO. A Turin letter gives an analysis of a circular note addressed to the peat European powers by the Sardinian Minister of Foreign Affair'. M. Dabannida shows that the annexation of the States of Central Italy to Sardinia is a legal act which cannot disturb the balance of power in Europe, and ought not to give offence to any nation. He maintains that to realise the wishes of the Italians would be to strengthen the monarchical principle, because it would free the Peninsala from a permanent cause of revolutions. Continuing his argument, he shows that the Princes cannot possibly be restored without Austrian help, and that to allow Austria to use force in their favour would be to re-establish that very state of things which led to the late war, and would inevitably produce new complications. He therefore calls upon the great powers to sanction the changes made by the public voice of Central Italy. Garibaldi on arriving at Ravenna issued the fol lowing proclamation to the youth of Italy, calling upon them to take arms and rally to his standard: italians,—These moss of Italy who put the Austrian to flight in the plains of Lombardy, and bravely revenged the insults of rare, ere now at Ravenna. Rash to join them, all you young men who wood emulate their valour, and swear with me never to lay down your arms till you have secured your independence. I rely co your manly feelings not to allow os who ars engaged in the enterprise which must de cide the fate of oar noble country, to be an insufficient num her. At Bologna, Ferrara, sad Pali, there are altars coat stiodosed to collect volunteers, and to sand them to Revenue where they will be definitively organised. Ravenna, Sept. 22. J. 0•11111AIDT. _ _ The bishops appear to have received orders from Rome to make • lachrymose and at the same time bellying demonstration on behalf of the Pope's tem poralities. The bi►hops of Arras, Algiers, and Poitiers have already "pronounced." The latter says he has had the " melancholy courage" to read almost all the EWA' that have been written against the pontifical government, and he does not hesitate to say that their malice only renders the more mani fest and conspicuous the great superiority of the Roman institutions over the ricketty inventions of modern times. I do not know whether among the libels read by the prelate he happened to meet with the famous pamphlet, " Napoleon 111. and Italy," in which he may have read that "at Rome there was perpetual antagonism between the eccle.iastic•l government and the interests of civil society." M. Reale, one of the Emperor's aides-de-camp, arrived in Paris yesterday from Russia, whither he bad been sent to attend the fates given on the occa sion of the Czarewitch coming of age. The envoy has now gone to Biarritz to deliver to Napoleon 111. an autograph letter from the Czar. The statement in several journals that France has resolved to abandon her pretensions in Cochin China is contradicted ; and it is said that a detach ment from the force now fitting out for China will be ordered to set against the Emperor of Annam. It is beyond • doubt that the government, when it ori ginally conceived the idea of establishing its inns race in Cochin China, was completely deceived by the reports of missionaries as to the disposition of the natives. At the Bourse the result of the settlement, eons. biped with an inclination to take a pacific view of the Italian question, led to great animation in the Rente, which rose 60 for cash and 46 for account, closing at 69.80 and 69.70. Mobilier rose 11.26. There was comparatively little business dune in railways, but the quotations improved conaiderably. Orleans rose 13, Lyons 7.30, Northern and Eastern 3 each, Southern 3.73, and Western 1.26. The Pen arrived at Southampton yesterday with the Lediasnd China mails ; her dates INTO Alexandria, Sept. 19 ; Yalta, 23; and Gibraltar, 27.

BARpINIA. The Corriere Mercantile states that what remains of the fine regiments of Riflemen of the Alps is being formed into a brigade of that name, to form part of the Sardinian army. The same journal states from Palermo that numerous arrests have been made in that city. MODENA. The government of Modena has ordered the imme diate reatittaion to General Zacchi of all his property, confiscated by the Duke of Modena. General Zucohi had commanded the insurgents in 1831, when the father of the present Duke fled, taking Ciro Menotti with him in chains. The latter was after wards hanged, a circumstance which was seised upon by the opposition in France to overthrow the Sebsatiani ministry. PORTUGAL. crime ova OM( 00WDZONDEXTa LISBON, Barr. 27. The King and royal family have returned from Mafra, and are residing at the Neesmidades. It is said that the King will shortly reside at Qualm., the favourite palace of the exiled Dom Michael. If such be the ease, it would be well if his Msjoitywould order the palace to be completed during his resi dence, the works having never yet been finished. The machinery of the steamer N'isconde d'Athoguia, plying between Lisbon and the Island of Midair& has broken down, and, after patting into a port on the coast, has returned here under sail. The Cortes will open on the 4th November, and it is expected there will be very violent debates on the subject of the ooncesaion of the railways to &mho? Salamanca. There is, however, little doubt that the Ministers have so arranged the Chambers, that the opposition will be more noisy than effective. I hear that the claims of Sir Morton Palo for plans and engi neering impetuses amount to a very large sum, which the Portuguese Government, I understand, never gave any written promise to pay, but there was some verbal understanding with the Minister. The Cardinal Patriarch of Lisbon is making a tour of the provinces. The Portuguese war steamers Eatephania and Bar tholomeu Diaz, under the command of the Duke of Oporto, have returned from Tangier, having found everything quiet there, no insults being offered to Portuguese subjects. A great agitation is going on in the newspapers about the propriety of erecting a statue to Camoens, the prince of Lusitanian poets. Strange to say, there is not a single statue erected to Camoens throughout the length and breadth of Portugal. In foreign exchanges for this packet there was a larger supply of paper on London than for some time back, which caused a further rise in the rate on that place, and business closed with paper over at 63 for 90 days' date.
