Two DLI Monies. 61. —Aftersoas. XO4lOlllO l ll-. Karlas. Anscaocia LONDON. WEDNESDAY. MARCH 21. MR. Lowe, who discerns among the fatal cole• sequences of the most moderate of Reform Bill. a demo )lazed House of Commons and a weakened executive, mast have felt as agreeable shock laur- . , prise at the motion of the member for the ower Himlets—one of the most democratic constituen cies in the country—lest night. Mr. Averow, in his lucid and sensible speech , which was se conded by • Conservative and approved by the OHAACRLLOR of the Excminruse and by Mr. WALFOLE, appealed to " the " fundamental principle of the capstan " Lion of the House of Commons that it should " never itself take the initiative in granting " or voting any public money, or in levying any " taxes upon the people; but that the entire initia tive in these respects rested with the Crown " alone." He showed how, in the beginning of the last century, an entirely new principle had been Introduced by the plan of separating the levying of taxes from the appropriation of the public money, thus constituting the Exchequer a sort of trustee between the Crown on the one band, and the Parliament and the public on the other. Hanoi the continual assaults by private members upon the balance of public money in the lachequer, in behalf of constituents of their own, or of the supposed interests of their constituents, or of their order or profession. To arrest this evil the standing orders were twice reinforced, and notably by a committee in 1852, who were probably satisfied that they bad finally and completely secured the sole and whole initiative of the Crown, according to ancient and fundamental Parliamentary law and usage, in proposing any grant of public money. But, as Mr. AYRTON misted last evening, though "the public gate of " the Treasury " had been closed, a " secret " access" had been left open to members, who had discovered of late years many indirect way* of charging the revenue and voting away the public, money. No doubt, as the member for the Tower Hamlets avowed, it is embarrassing for a member to oppose the vicarious generosity of these benevo lent dispensers of the public money, and unfair to Ministers of the Crown to inflict upon them the duty of resisting such attempts. He therefore proposes once for all to stop the mouths of these assailants of the Treasury by a standing order, and thus to close the " escape " in the restrictions constitutionally imposed upon representatives of clamorous deputations of class interests (as I in the case of the Cattle Plague Bill the other day), or it may be, as the swelling Civil Service estimates seem to suggest, of the fancy schemes of select coteries. Mr. AYRTON put the principle of his motion in the clearest and strongest light and in the briefest form when he asserted that nothing was more desirable " is a legislative "assembly than to tie the hands of private mem " bars." Mr. Lows, foreshadowing the calamities of a Reform Bill which should enlarge the num ber of democratic constituencies, denounced the deterioration of the House of Commons by a larger infusion of schemers and jobbers, and the dete rioration of the Executive under the pressure of • parliament of self-acting delegates. Although con vinced that to the Reform Bill of 1832 (which spared the little Wiltshire borough) we owe all our present blessings, he suggested, without precisely affirming, that to the democratic element which it introduced into the House we owe whatever symp toms of weakness may be discovered in the Erects- Jive, and whatever encroachments of Parliament upon the initiative of the Crown. No wonder, then, that on both sides of the House the example of a representative of the most democratic constituency in the kingdom, rising to assert the ancient and fundamental principles of the constitution, to for tify the executive government and the authority of the Crown, and to impose restrictions upon private members of the House, was witnessed last evening with universal satisfaction. Mr. AYRION, no doubt, has the " defects of his qua " lilies." He is somewhat eccentric and recal citrant as • member of • party ; but as the representative of a popular constituency be hes the courage to confront unpopularity in the discharge of what he believes to be a public duty, and he is more respectful to his country than to his constituents. This is more than can be said of some arietocastio squires and colonels when terri torial interests or army estimates are in question. And ;it is more tolerable, as we need hardly remind Mr. Lows, to confront unpopularity at Caine than in the Tower Hamlets. Their Royal Highnesses Prinoe Alfred and the Duke of Cambridge bosomed Lord and Lady Claremo Paget by their proem* at dieser last evening at the *obis end pliant lord's Aloha residenoe at the Admiralty. Count and Countess de Paris, the Duke and Dualism of earl. borough and Lady Cornelia Churchill, Admiral Sir Rodney Mandy, Admiral Sir Sydney C.

Lord Groovenor's amendment, which it is said Lord Stenll7 Will second, that it is inexpedient to discus a bill for the reduction of the franchise in England and Wales until the house has before it the entire scheme con templated by the government for the sinendmeet of the representation of the people, corresponds **exactly with the opinions which the Times has repeatedly expressed that it Gels bound to approve of his course. The notice by as ex-whig official, Sir W. Hatt, that he will propose that the Franchise Act though passed Anil not take effect until a bill for the redletribution of seats has also been carried, shows, if scything were wanting, how thorough will be the acceptance of Earl Grosvenor's amendment. No ministry ever enjoyed a better opportu nity of dealing with the subject, smiths indifference of the people but adds an additional reproach is failure. Per haps. however, it was unwise to expect anything better from a ministry so composite. Mr. Gladstone unfolded the scheme as if he bad as belief in it ; and of the other members of the cabinet, some are avowedly indifferent, some lukewarm, none are hearty whether in approval or dislike of chugs. It is hopeless to expect that this partial measure can become law ; ►ut the Timm trusts it is not yet too late to bring formals' a better scheme, and this the ministry can do by *meeting to, and upon, the amendment. No question of policy is involved in it, end it would be no dishonour to conform to the wishes of the legislature, tad to present a single bill dealing with the whole question. In the operations of the avowed conservatives the Daily News recognises only the accustomed stratageras of party, but what is legitimate for them bears a different sweet when attempted by professed liberals. Earl Grosvenor should remember that his acts cannot be dimmed just se if they were those of a mare ordinary member of parliament What he does is judged at in mused= with his position and privilege,. His house is represented by se fewer than three members—two brothers and a son—in the House of Lords, and by the sheer lamer* of its wealth returns as amy members of the House of Gammons. The possession - of such power may well make a man forget his mower eountrymen—ferget even him self. But the public does not forget, and we an much mistaken if even awing dupe who are least en thusiastic for a &Lorin Edl.rany not be of opinion that this child of privilege would have dow better to 4 14 0 10 ISOM 4We obnoxious to remark—to some me tide radial, some retained Australian--the iavidions task -riselattoe deliberately famed to defeat the segdratiois ot, his less fortunate countrymen to the hneddeardegrek of political power. The time is ap proaching when every Pemba: mad understand that there are but two sidle. Those who honestly think that as a matter of policy it weald have bees better le hays attempted a redistribution of seats this year will sow perceive that delay is not abandonment, and that :•whatever liberal principles may mean is thais own analytic eyes, they mean to the country support of a reform bill introduced by a liberal ministry. Whatever impedes, de lays, imperils the bill which government have now brought io, is hostile to reform. Whoever. on the pretext that it is not something else, votes naiad it, votes against liberal principle. He may gain the matistaatioe of defeating his leaders and ousting his rivals. But by that same act he outs himself irrevocably off from his party. The Post is greatly mistaken, if Lord Grosvenor's mobs tion is not found to prove the death-blow of dos Mialstry. Its only alternative now is to raise the cry of sows qui past, or to stand to its guns and be mowed down. The resolution is admirably worded, end has the advantage of expressing an abstract proposition which it is all bat ion. pewit)]e to meet with a negative, and far which politicians cf every dads mold vote for reasons as different se their opinions. What course the Ministry will take remains to be seen. but at any rate the lesson will be learnt by all parties that it is trapolide and raiddel to tooth with a rash band questions which neither demand nor require imme diate reoossideration. The Herald remarks that the terms of Lord Grosvenor's amendment, 'correspond supine:wally with those of the resolution which was suggested at the meeting at Lord Salisbury's last week. Sir W. Hutt's ameedmeet, from which oolylose meaning is to be deduced—an intention of preventing the bill bwomieg law—is hardly lees damaging. 'Dismissing with ematemp — ithithreat 0117; dissolution, the Herald concludes with congratulating the weservatives that there should be so may liberal mar - ben for counties and boroughs, who, while good peaty men, are not content to swath* their conscience to Earl Russell's revolntiooary proposals. That Lord Grosvenor and Sir W. Hutt should hays leagued themselves with the enemy appears to the Tele graph as an example of the degree le which the conning ad vice of the Tases may take effect with thew who are weak, simple, or perverted. Wooled into a total misconception of the actual situstioe, they hays gives) notion of moans which, U carried, would defeat the objects of the liberal No one was ever so really realaioeary as the We when it Trgio _. says, y tl l the people come to ask for it, before you grant reform." At the wet of a fair bargain with the people, the selfish interests of the day may obtain a further lease of life ;fall they get by delay is that, while they must finally accord the mime pries or more, they will be able to secure a less prolonged term of existence. The Star rye the country will know perfectly well what these gentlemen mean and will see to the bottom of their motives. The cabal brought together by a noisome for the misrepresentation of the people is perfectly usderstood. The Stay recommends Earl Groeveaor. end those who share his views, to take openly the tposition of Mr. Lowe and the Times, and declare that the working clues of England are only pugs of ignorant, drunken. rapacious I ru ffi a ns, who must, at all wet, be kept from the franchise. For) those gentlemen may rest mimed that they gegno credit from the oountry for any other views or purposes. The English people should watch the growth of the list of anti-reformers. We must clear our camp of spies and renegades before we can safely enter into action. But let them and their services not be forgotten when the battle is over, and the country hes the distribution of rewards. TEICI HIIIIILLTION DAY. Theibiabope, in the opinion of the Timm, have made a sad bungle about the humiliation day' in Dot putting tbdr heeds together to find a day neither engaged nor likely to be wanted by the parliament or the Queen. It hi only by extreme tact and the happiest concurrence of favour_ able circumstance= t►at an observance like this can peas usehalleuged. It implies as extraordi nary amount of faith, or of that deference to popular sentiment which does so math of the every-day work of faith, to acquiesce in en observance which gives to a church service a special inimeolose effi cacy. The great majority of mai, wore they not kept in order by their own wives and children, not to speak of lady friends and the clergymee, would boldly avow that they think no good can come of it—to the poor cattle, at lest. Perhaps they ought to think and feel otherwise ; but, as thiege are, their seeptiesm ought not to be gratuitously and rudely provoked. The spirit and tone of the church of England is rather to find ourselves at one with the triad order of meters and Providence than vested with power and authority to arrange it at will ; and even bishops must beware lest they overtax its spiritual ambition. The Telegraph thinks that the idea of begging for any clangs in the great order of the universe, of imploring that the troubles which affect us may he abruptly suspended in their course, simply because they appear too hard for us to bear, is plainly being abandoned. Such a day as yes terday, however, gives an opportunity for a brief lay ser mon, which the Telegraph proceeds to deliver, the burden of its discourse being the misery sad wrong of unoleanli nem Since the cholera visited us we have mournfully warted much of our time, sad it seems little better than s mockery to cry for heavenly aid while we are not honestly labouring to get our greet city made wholesome and good. Till L OP TEN I.OIIDON. The Times to-day contains a letter from Mr. Higitton, the brother-in-law of Mr. H. J. Denis, who wu ow of the passengers last in the London, eonteedieg again that that vessel, though a ship of the highest preteasions, was 111-eonstruetal, ill-found, id-maimed, sad ill-navigated. Mr. Highton has received from his brother in-law the identical massage which was washed ashore ea the mast of Imam. " Though dated" be says, " only two hours before the vessel went down, and when all hope was lost, it h severthaless written fa ann, deer characters not distinguishable from his ordinary handwriting, and he eves displays a little peculiarity he bad of spelling his nano with one ' a.'

The Times reviews the various points raised by Sir John Pakington and Mr. Richton, and while allowing that the report of the Board of Trade was nosatisfactosy owing to the fact that two distinct processes of inquiry and trial distinguish such inquisitions adheres to its original oon viotion that the shlp was sw amped: by • sea which ought to have passed over her harmlessly, bat which proved too much for the insecure and insufficient covering of the engine-room, and afterwards pooped by another sea, which dose in the stern-ports. The obvious moral is that drawn by Mr. Traill, that stern-ports should be specially protected, and that " all the hatchways of the ship ought to be made as strong as her deck, and, when occasion re quires it, secure from the intrusion of the sea." The Post thinks the case established by Sir John Peking toe as to the defects of these offloial inquiries was sub stantially so conclusive as to admit of no reply. When the catastrophe is to be attributed to a faulty construc tion of the vessel, or to the extent to which a ship is lades, saw regulations should be made with the view of diminishing risk from similar causes in future. But this end, it is obvious, can alone be attained by sub mitting those who are interested in representing facts in the most favourable light to the closest cross-examination. This confessedly was not done on the occasion of the recent inquiry, and on this score the public had substantial grounds for complaint. The Herald loonies the Board of Trade in this instance of a deliberate attempt to suppress the truth, and says that the offkial inspection of the vessel was a fallacy. In point of fast, with ships as with railways, there is • tendency on the part of surveyors to make their stirrers mere matters of form. The witnesses whose testimony were essential were screened from cross-examination. Indeed, the investi gation in such oases from the first Is generally regulated so as to be one of • whitewashing nature. The Advertiser Is still of opinion that the ship was un dermanned and overladen, and believes that until It Is com petent to the relatives of any person lost in • shipwreck to bring an action for damages against the owners, there will not be that security for life at sea which such a privilege would ensure, and which there ought to be. ICS TOPICS. It appears by the pans at the Metropolitan Cattle market on Monday that, notwithstanding the regulations oohed the conveyance of cattle by railway, the beet beef is at t►is moment cheaper than it was at the same time last year, and is at the same price as in 1864. Prime beet was quoted yesterday at ss. the stone, against se. 2d. last year, and 51. in 1864. The supply of live cattle was •early as large as before the prohibition, as though about two-thirds of the usual sources have been suddenly closed, the remaining third, the foreign supply, has been so much developed as almost to moldy the deficiency; so that we have just as mach a live cattle market ea before. The Times observes that such a result exhibits a power of adaptation is the trade beyond anything that could have been imagined, and if it Amid be continued it relieves us for ever from any spree heasions of a meat famine. Bat if the large open space of liedthibld were turned into a dead meet market, all the market might be of the same character, and the foreign cattle be slaughtered at the port of disembarkation. The railway logo of charges also ought to be lowc red. It needs but common sense and common energy to deliver us for ever from the nuisance to which we have hitherto submitted. The .Daily News explains the nature of the Oxford Tests Abolition Bill, the second reading of which is moved to-day by Mr. Coleridge. The question is whether it W sot for the interest of the country that the full benefit of the education at the national universities should be extended beyond the church to the nation at large—a result which cannot be obtained while whole demos are subjected to vexatious and humiliating re strictions aid distinctions. The Doily Item reminds mem bers that the (noel Oxford petition against the measure does not proceed from the segregation which is the resi dent and really academical body at Oxford, but from the Cloogregetise at large. The Times is rebuked by the Daily News far undertaking in a pharimaioll spirit to read Austria and Prussia a more/ lemon, apportioning blame equally between the two, end studiously ignoring the tenth that the responsibility of the quarrel rests in the first inatenos with one of the corn- Went..

The Post has moon to believe that the telegraphic news published yesterday to the effect that, since Sunday, deolaratioes of a re-searing character have been received from Berlin by the Austrian government, and that the apprehensions of war between the great German powers have base thereby removed, is totally incorrect. The relations between the two powers tontine*, on the con trary, to be very critical.

THE RELATIONS AND PRUSS I BETWEEN AUSTRIA A. The Kreutz Zeitung of the 19th says that it regards the warlike preparations of Austria and Saxony as grave facts. The financial situation of Austria would naturally prevent her from making a feint, and therefore her armaments must be made with the serious intention of going to war. Under such circumstances, it is the duty of Prussia not to allow herself to be taken by surprise. The situa tion becomes more gloomy f r o m da y to day, but the responsibility of it must rest upon those who have co mmenced to make military threata. A first fatal step has been taken. The Vienna Presse says : The loss of a battle would be attended with the moat 1 terrible coosequsnoes to Prussia. In that event it is not an army but a kingdom that would be disintegrated. if Prussia succumbs she can expect no oonsideration—no moderation, on the pert of the victors. The more the small states of Germany were threatened, the more they will endeavour, the moment eiroarnstances shall have re. moved their appreheasions, to escape for evermore from similar dangers. Should Prussia meet with a reverse is this war it will be so severe that she cannot again recover herself. The appearances are warlike. A spirit of determiza• lion prevails at Vienna. They reckoned without their host at Berlin when they imagined that a esatiment of weakness would prevail here. I we do sot despair of the wide. name of peace it is because we appreciate the state of affairs in Prtissis. To begin war the Prussian government must take the senseless step of risking much to gain little. If Prussia does net conquer Schleswig-Holstein nobody will guarantee her the ulterior possession of Silesia, Saxony, the Rhenish Provinces, and Westphalia. If she does annex the Duchies on the Elbe, Prance will be ready to make her remonstrance, and to all in question that acquisition once more. Even admitting that Prussia is not solicitous about rights which stand io the way of her advantage, we cannot pose that that she is totally devoid of judgment, foresight, and prudence. If this be so, and if she is aware that she hes to deal with an intrepid and prepared adversary, Prude will beat a retreat at the last moment. We should not be Isurprised to find the ordoions trumpeters of Berlin making merry in a few days hence at the expense of those who be- Ilieved in a coming war. When the ba y trees are too high and pecks may be easily broken in trying to tend them loir, the foxes of the Friesian Marches are wont to despise, than. The Elberfad Gazette mentions that several rifled pieces of ordnance were sent on the 17th from Cologne to the fortresses in Silesia. The Neue Preu.ssialhe Zeitung of the 19th con tains the following : We have to snow°, • grave feet. Aestria end I Saxony are arming. Up to the present we have sot done so. In sitaatioos so critical as this, the party who begins to um compels the other to arm in its turn. The first step is fatal: that step has been taken. The financial ember. ressment of Austria does not prevent apparent demonstra tions on her part. She therefore means war. Any other interpretation is impossible. The Prussian government mast not, under Each cireumetences, allow themselves to be taken by surprise. No doubt this will exasperate the situation, but the responsibility must remain with those who have commenced warlike preparations. Several German journals state that all the secondary states—except Hanover and Hesse- Cassel—have informed the Cabinet of Vienna that Austria can count upon their support, if she decides upon submitting the regulation of the affairs of the duchies to the decision of the Federal Diet, the only means that may still pre vent a conflict. The Wurtemburg Moniteur declares against the neutrality of the secondary states, in case of a war between Austria and Prussia : The only true or possible policy of these states (it says) would be to oppose whoever should trouble the peace or violate the Federal compact, as the Emperor Nicholas said, " The first who draws his sword shall have for his iroonny."

PARIS, TIMIDLY EVINING. The great, the unpreoedentedly importasit debits, on the amendment of the forty-five, was brought to s conclusion yesterday evening at the untelaikr] late hour of a quarter past 7. The forty-five, 60 fss from giving Mil to IL Rouher's eloquence, a some people predicted they would do at the Mai moment, voted to s man for their amendmenti • and obtained 16 recruits. The division, in an unusually full house, showed 206 votes for the government and 61 for the amendment. Thbl formidable figure of 61, fails, however, to represent the full extent of the opposition I clamours with instance and urgency for more liberty. Four prominent members of the left, MM. Carnot, Gamier Pages, Jules Simon, and Eugene Pelletan, abstained from voting for the reason (a bad one, as I venture to think) that the amendment of the forty-five did not go far enough. M. de Berryer, the Count de liiiscourt, and some others also (from different motives) abstained from voting. The Moniteur gives no account of the reception on Sunday at the Tuileries of the new academician, M. Prevost ParadoL Imperfect and apocryphal versions are published by some of the papers. The following, from the &inmost, is curious if true : The Emperor said to M. Guisot that he was happy to see him looking well, and that age had not in any way dimin ished the virility of hie talent. M. Gaket bowed. The Em peror resumed, " It seems to me, M. Guisot, that you stay very long in the country." " aka I work, sod I take walks." The Emperor then turning to the easemeser of M. Ampere, said, " Monsieur Prevost Pandol, I regret that a man of your talent is sot in the number of any Mends." " airs, I regret it also," was the reply. "X. Panda," resumed the Espana "we do sot agree about Cesar, but I am pleased at the moolles tion that in your ' Hens am Mistake Lint- Tensile,' published An or sir years ago, you spoke of him In incellent terms. Our opinions were not then so divergent on the subject as they seem to be now." M. Paulo' made no reply. The Emperor, then agile address ing M. Guizot, reminded him of what %Manes said 4 Napoleon I.—" aire,—Leave us the republic of letters and he concluded the audience by "tyku . in a vary Ann voice, " Yes, M. Guisoi ; in all things literary there is the most emaplete liberty of Maoism" M. Clapiseon, one of the most popular composers Ihr France, died suddenly yesterday at the age 68. Many of his comic operas, such as La Promise l and La Ponclionette, have been favourites for years. H. was the author of at least five hundred pieces ad well knovin pianoforte music. The valuable museum at the Conservatoire of musical instru ments of all *gee and countries owes its origin Clapieson, who began to form the collection when only twenty years old. The Tuileries chestnut tree of the Vingt Mars, which last yesr, for the first time on record, broke lits charter, keeps up its ancient reputation to day All day long, groups of people, with " wide, 1 turned, wondering eyes," might be seen gazing, not merely on the full green buds, but the expanded leaves, which contrasted with the yet wintry aspect of the common herd of trees in the sur rounding grove. On this day, as anssoissoed, Prince Napoleon's "Diomede Villa," in the Avenu' Montaigne, with the furniture, was put up for sale. The property was divided into four lots. The pur chaser of the whole is Count de Quinsonas, pays altogether the sum of 1,110,100 francs, 46,0041. That is a respectable sum for a " fol which was, in fact, nothing more than a free easy smoking and supper room for the prince . his bachelor days. Although Consols fell the Bourse recovered in great measure from yesterday's panic. Bent rose 250. both for cash and account, closing 68fr. 65c. and 681 r. 670. Mobilier rose 15fr., Italian 40c. The money articles of the evening papers speak of the fall of M. de Bismarck likely to be the happy solution of the German difficulty. MDLLS. THSRIL94. According to the Temps, the following tang. offer has bean made by M. Paul Dupont, the manager the Alcazar, of Marseilles, to Mdlle. Theresa, the vac lebrated diva of Paris : 20,000 fr.

The following despatch frees Mr. Cardwell is an abstract of the one "Sr,-1 have to acknowledge the receipt of Mr. Mercer's despatch of the 20th September leak No. 138. furnishiog the required explanation of • deb:meet which had been submitted to her Majesty's government by Calmed Sykes, M.P., recreating an alleged illegal delivery of a Taiping refugee to the Chinese authorities by the government of Hong Kong. It is shown by the explanation now before me that • mac carrying on balms in Haag Hoeg, under the name of How lid Low, wits claimed by the Chinese government in visits, of the treaty of Tiestsio as having submitted robberies in Chia& ; thsths was brought before the polite magistrate in purenanos of the ordnance, N 0.2 of 1852. The charge rested on the evidence of two witnesses. How Heal Low was defended by rousse% and although • variety of technics' objections were raised, it doss not app esr to have been alleged that he was • politiosl ow Magee, still less Mo-Was that he was the Taeping gas n stated. If the statements which have been laid before her Majesty's go- vernment respecting the mode in which this man was put to death are at all true, it must be a matter of great regret that he was delivered to the Chinese govern meet, and, as you are aware, fresh instructions have been braid which will precast each an ocearrenoe hereafter. But having reference to the teams of the twisty under which Mr. Mercer was acting, I am satisfied, after full considera tion, that ha adopted every precaution in his power to carry the provisions of the Treaty of Extradition into proper exe cution. The men was not charged with piracy, which would be justiciable's! Hong-Kong,but with robbery, whisk brought him within the terms of the treaty. The oath less properly investigated, and there wee abundant ',Meese to support the decision of the magistrate. I have therefore mesh pismire le stating that so blame attaches to Yr.
