The public sacrificed to sous' degree good law in order to get speedy law when they adepted the Cout; Ourt system. Bat they an certainly entitled to have us good law mean be got for 1,2001.1 year, to *ire it administered by a man who acqui molds reputatioe, or, at IN* all events, has hair hal eome p ' ikdetermining the questions which are likely to be submitted to him. Now, unless we are entirely misinformed, the person who has been selected by the Loan CHANCELLOZ to fill the vacant office of County Court Judge im a gentleman whose guilds' can only be ascertained by a reference to the Law List. Neither courts of justice have beard hie voice, nor is his name seen at the foot of abstracts of tide or legal opinions. It is • bad omen when the existence of a Bishop elect can only be discovered by • reference to the University Calendar. It is little better when the existence of • Judge designate mast be ascertained by a reference to the Law Lat. Indeed, even if this gentleman were an Equity Draftsman or a Conveyancer, however eminent, his experience surely does not fit him to decide legal questions connected with Common Law. No doubt men who bare earned their reputation in Courts of Common Law have been raised to the woolsack, but recent experience certainly does not approve the system. At all events, In the present case there is no need of so dangerous an experiment. Perhaps the rumour to which we have alluded may be withoat foundation. It is worth while to clear the matter up. And those members of the Home of Commons who watch over the frailties of the CHANCIELLOR will do well to put a question on the subject before Parliament separates, Is it tree that an unknown Bqeity lawyer has been appointed County Closet Judge P If this be so, what is the theory upon which the appointment proceeds? Is the man an able lawyer, or is this simply an ordi nary, but somewhat glaring, job, done to promote a private friend, or to conciliate a political connexion ? Ins express.

LONDON, SATUAZIAT, APALL 18. ffm.r-trrrien philosophical Reformer, in mortal terror that an " ugly rush " will be made from below, shriek from any real extension of the fran chise amongst the working classes, but sine. something must be done, they urge the plan of " graduated right of suffrage," and " plural voting," the number of votes possessed by individual electors being measured by the index of taxation. The whole scheme is utterly impracticable. The higher literature of Reform is not only above experience, but incapable of being reduced to the low level of actual life. It seems. . . . _ moreover, to exert a sympathetic influence ea all who study it. The contempt of the tangible and the real belonging to the their , riste who move in that serener air above the din of practical politics is evidently contagious. Even at a moment like the present, for example, when the country has to decide practically on the question, a disciple of philosophical Reform amongst our weekly contemporaries looks with sublime but characteristic indifference on 'all definite sug gestions, on every proposition that assumes a poi dyes and practical shape. " Lord JOHN Ressam.'s " proposal," says our contemporary, "of a 031. " franchise_ in boroughs may possibly admit about " the right proportion of working-elan voter,— Of it Mai admit 1111 oyenrlelming n un . . . " ber." Nothing could well be easier than to determine with some approximation to men racy which side of this alternative is the true one bat the reader is left to take his choice. A propo sition on which Parliament is dissolved and the country involved in all the turmoil and responsibi lity of a general election is too trifling to be dis cussed by a merely speculative reformer. Other advocates of plural voting frankly confess that the scheme is not likely to sesame any" sobstantive ° shape. This is certainly a prudent confession on the part of philosopbical Reformers who come forth to encounter the Demon of Democracy with a lath sword and a pasteboard shield. As the danger is imaginary so the =cacao( defence are, and are likely to remain partly abstract and theoretical. The fair ideal of a graduated suffrage is not likely to be de graded byanyvnlgar contact with experience. To rin, we mast confess, it has no great Dewey l but as *eery crow thinks its own chick the fairest, so the authors of plural voting no doubt have a paternal affection for their scheme. Their utmost paternal are will, however, be unavailing to preserve it teen a speedy and untimely end. Any system of plural voting involves at the outset _ . some test of worth or merit, according to which the votes should be distributed. Two such tests have been proposed—intelligence and property ; the for- mer by Mr. I. S. Mitt, in his "Thought, on Par liamentary Reform ;" and the latter, amongst others, by the Economist and its friends. Mr. MILL suggested an educational test in the shape of a competitive examination, votes being assigned to a certain number of marks. Probably no one ever seriously entertained this scheme except its author, and as he has now practically renounced it we need not stay to prove that it Is ludicrously impracticable. The second test is that of pro perty and position as measured by taxa tion. Of this scheme Mr. MILL justly eays: " It would be regarded as nothing better than a " trick for rendering a concession of the suffrage " nugatory; it would be for ever, or for a long " period, discredited and depopularised ; and would lose all its chances of serving as a permanent " barrier against the class legislation of manual labourers." Other and minor advocates of the scheme admit that the practical difficulty of deter mining the amount of individual taxation is all but insuperable. Supposing the scheme a good one, these are a specimen of the difficulties which would effectually prevent its adoption. The plan U., however, utterly bad. It is not a project of Reform at all, but simply • device to arrest its progress. So far from netting the fair claims of the working classes, it goes directly to destroy all chance or hope of their eefranchiseme?t. It would be a practical fraud. If individuals or classes are not fit to possess the suffrage, the straightforward course would be to say so at once, and refuse to grant it. But it is alike impolitic and unjust, while professing to glee the suffrage to a class whose claims are recognised and allowed, to hamper it with conditions which render the gift wholly " amatory." THE other days County Coed Judge died in the west of England. Who is to fill his place? In such cases this question has seldom been asked of late, because the CHANCELLOR has been sensible enough to make a reasonably fit appointment. At all events, during Lord CHANWORTII . B regime there was not a single case in which he forgot his duty is his desire to do • private favour. But Lord CHELMSFORD, since his elevation, has been more daring in his patronage than any Chancellor within the time of legal memory. After the HIGGINS sad Master-in-Lunacy affair most men hoped that the CHANCELLOR would not allow private views or personal motives to influence him in his distri bution of rewards. Especially was this to be expected in judicial appointments, such as County Court judgeships, in which so many interests are con cerned. If the sums is question are small, the number of suitors is large ; to which we malt add gig Court.

Bat a few months have gone by since the public:a tlas et lady Sydney Morgan's autobiography, or "Diary," as it is called; and we have sow to record her departure from among as. She was the daughter of an Irish musician and writer of songs, principally for the stage. Miss Ovation herself began her literary career aa a song•writar, preceding Moors in the happy-cuaceirsd work of setting ballads to old Irish airy. Her tff.eta in this direction were itioeneefal, con sidering the early age at which they were made. Before cempliring her sietemeth yesr she was the authoress of two novel., which are now seldom heard of; bat her third at tempt at prose !taloa, the " Wild Irish Girl," is a standard book at the circulating library. It raked her at once Into notoriety, and obtained for her a welcome in the lira literary and social circle.. Parsuing steadily the path she had chosen, Miss Owesson wrote several books is quick sac cession; and, in ten yew@ from the period of her first triumph, she was fully established sa one of the seat popular writers of the day. It was in the year 1811 that Miss Gammon, being this la her 28th year, met Sir Charles Morgan, an eminent physi cian, while es a nut to the Marquis of Aberoorn. The in timacy very soon led to a marriage, and the congenial cha racters and testae of Bir Charles Morgan and his wife begin to appear in the volumes they wrote together. Besides the Wig Bit of move's, versa, and light modal shedss which have proceeded from Lady Morgaa'a pen, we might enume rate those and historical essays which are se well "known abroad seat home. The Morgans, hided, were at coo timo interdicted from a residence in Frames; though they set the prohibition at defiance, and entered freely Into the society of Paris. The plitical writings of Lady Kam an cheractsrieed by a genial sympathy with lateral aims NA opinions. For some years she has enjoyed a mike of 1081. per annum, costarred on her by Earl Grey.

Yesterday afternoon a meeting of the liberal oleo- be rids City of London, convened by "Tie Liberal Else bra Cesemittee," wee held at the London Tavern, for the ropes. of giving them ea opportunity of besting statements btu Lad John Russell, Baron Rothschild, Sir Jame. Deb, end Dlr. R. W. CrSl43l* the four fitting member., sod who are candidates for re•electioa. The meeting wea very fatly &tended. Mr. H. O. Pnitscorr wu called to the chair, and after menarking the threatened opposition ha the pereone of Lord Stanley and Mr. Baring, from which he said the Bharat party had nothing to fear, called upon the members In the order in which they stood on the pull at the last elution. Sir Jelin DIMZ, Hart., M.P., drat presented himself, and wee received with load cheers. He said he was quite sure the meeting would not expect him to addrem them at say length before the noble lord, because all lament knew what were his Mews in respect to progress and reform, end all he should have to do would be to act ander the noble lord, with whose views he entirely concurred. For nosy years past be had acted wit an honest desire to farther the peat work of reform, and If elected he 'liquid pursue the mime independent aurae be had previously pursued. At the sem time be wee bound to my that he could not pledge him self to the eletaiXof the measure which, in his plane in the Home eiContsions,Lord J. Rwaell bad (Wetly shadowed out. As far, however, as it went, be cordially agreed with the brief view his lordship had given. He thanked the citizens for the kind reception they had always accorded to him, and whether main returned to parliament or Dottie should always retain a grateful sense of the Madams be bad received. Heron ROTHSCHILD WU Very enthusiastically received. He said the meeting would consider that he wee justified in following the example of his colleague in detaining them for a very few moments, insomuch as Lord J. Russell, who would follow him, would state fully and explicitly his views on reform. This we. the firet time be had bad the opportu nity of addressing his counitutate sines the House of Commons passed the bill enabling him to Mks his seat, and which he recognised with gratitude, owing, se he believed it was, to the assistance he had received from the City of Lon don. During the short time he had been in the hones he had voted several times. He voted, atter due considera tion, for the resolution of the noble lord on the Goverment Reform Bill. It was discussed by many trim and good liberals whether the resolution of the noble lord should be put, or whether the bill should be allowed to go to a second reading, with • view to amendment in committee. Ho believed that if they had gene to a second reeding, and then into committee, the bill might have been madea very good one, but it would Live bees so entirely altered that at the end of • month or six weeks, after :deliberating and thinking over it every night, they would have arrived at precisely the same conclusion to which Lord John Russell's resolution had led them, and the government would have Mingo beaten on paints of detail that they would have been obliged to give up their bill. They never could have stood being In a minority so or en. (Hear.) Under them chemetences, be considered that the noble lord's was the only come that could have been adopted• (Hear.) That course had now brought members before their conatituencies, and it remained foe them to decide whether they would return true end liberal members who would support a mama of reform which would prevent agitation, and which for some considerable time at least would satisfy the public. There was also another reason why he felt saddled in having this great question brought belies the constituenclee. It afforded the con- 'Maeda ea epportasity for mating themselves cm either Ude, for the peewit goveranwit was so weak that the akin clam areatry were ealinag from beteg reermagmlhr the .tom they were. If the country WWII conservative, let ens by e 0 neseasheve a conservative government ; but if, is be batived, the country wee liberal, he would say let en Ebert& units in returning liberal members, so that they might have a good strong liberal government.

Everybody in the City, he believed, was very anxious about th e question of peace or war, and everybody would admit that it required at the preterit time a very strong govern. meat to deal with that question. (Lead cheers.) He my bakes him a great many friends who were acetone to pro mote him election, and he hod one word of recommenda tion to give them, that they would vote for all the form liberal members in the event of their belay obliged to p to • peo. The hon. gentleman concluded by saying that if be were sufficleatly fortunate to be again elected one et their werrammtativogot, ha .booth always exert himself to rierM ed the SIM. LIM Jona Russma., who wee very warmly received, plessied to review the prindpal memores of the ad millablastion during the time they have held office. Wks the Conspiracy Bill was formally brought to the massawative leaders DOW in opposition gave Lord Pahosestoa distinctly to undentand that it should com mand their Ilepport, but no sooner did they see a chance of getting in as power than they abandoned their pledge, voted against the sseond reading of the bill, threw out the admi nistration, mid thus obtained power. And this (Lord John Ina! nor ski) was the quarter from which "ingenious montesoes " are charged upon him In the matter of the Jew BM, the government throughout their career in opposi tion had opposed the admission of the Jews to parliament an the ground that the question at Make was one of actual sacri lege; but no sooner did they take ago, than they found out that there could be no sacrilege at all when their own into. Nets were involved; and without a blush they sppre ;fisted the Jew Bill. They abandoned their India Bill to Wroth:ice at length another in its plum; and that bill, excephsg • few details, was an adoption of Lord Pahnemion's measure in the guise of original legislation. Hie lordship then criticised the government Reform Bill, and the speeches which were made by ministers In its defences; adding *justifi cation of the course he had pursued in introducing his resolution to the house. Io this step he had the concurrence of those whom he most respected. " I consulted (continued his lordship) my old friend, Sir James Graham, oho bad bean united with me in preparing the bill of 1831. I con sulted Lord Palnicreton, to whom that respect was due, and whose opinion upon such • point was of the utmost rains. (Hear, hear) I consulted Mr. Sidney Herbert, who wished to see • good reform bill, and who, at the same time, did not like to app.= in opposition to the government upon other than fair and reasonable armed'. I cousulted Mr. Bright— (loud cheers)—l consulted Mr. Bright, who it a politician of another class, and whom opinions in many respects differ from mine, bet who is • sincere and hearty reformer, end he agreed with me as to the defects of Lord Derby's bill, and agreed also with me se to the manner in which it outeht to be trotted. Well, I thought it wee right to my position, as I , have already raid, to pt a• much concurrence of opinion as possible. It hod been called by hard names ; but I think that ' concert amongst men for great public objects, having nothing in view but that which is for the public good. is honourable to ell who are concerned. (Hear hear.) Well, gentlemen, ths resolution was curried by g r eat majority—it was corded taz . ajority comprising the majority of the whole House of ; and it exposed, therefore, as 1 consider, the fall weer of the House of Commons. Now, the ministers had carton, courses to puma : they had, M all events, three comer to pursue. (Lmobtar.) They might have introduced • new bill, mare In coaformity with the +Mee of the Home of Commons. It was not difficult in the metent Rome of Commas.' to frame a bill which a grout majority of that house would have wappotted, sad which would only have bean exposed to differences of opinion when it bad passed into committee. That would have moor d the passing of a Reform Bill in this present year; end mind,whan I my • Reform Bill, I am not speaking in the sense of mazy members of the Reese of Commons,who thought it essen tial that theLa ra h l oold pass a bill. They went even further than that, saki, let se pews a bill without Inquiring whether that was a good or bad one ; without inquiring whether the VII would last twenty _or lire, or even one per. I think It was a meet ferstiousl proposal. (Hear, bear.) What I wish is to ass a bill en widoh the pro* of this country can rest. We have hod warnings on this sub ject which I think we ought to take anxiously into coseider shoe. A man not serpent' is enmity by any minieter of late teare—l mean the late Mr Robert Peel—introduroi a corn bill In 1842. He recommended that bill to the House of Commons, and it became an act of parliament; but in 1846 Sir Bober Peel proposed • totally different toessure. He said, I bays changed my opinion; and when ha was twitted with his termer act, he said, I will not be guided and controlled by soy observations of 1842. (Hear, bear.) I think we may take warning by the course adopted by a man of such ability and mince and sagacity as Sir Robert Peel in changing his measure within floe years. We should agree that we don't wish to pare a MB which would last four yesrs or hardly so long, but that we should peas ens which should be worthy the wisdom of perlument to offer—worthy the generosity and p_etrionsin e f the people of England to accept. (Hear.) Well, gentle men, I can only say that Ministers not having choren to bring In • bill, and having thought It their duty to their sovereign and their country not to resign their offices, there only remained the other course, viz to dine , Ive parliament, and to appeal to the constituent body at large to declare what that reform should be. If I complain of them it is net for taking that course, but it is for nut stating clearly the isms that is to be tried. Tits, have nose of them in their ad dessessemetanod to kill decide upon our bill whaler it is a good or ems-they lave sot 'okra is Ist, we hare another Bann Bill he preparation, and welk t m to confide to us the tosegosest of that greet gwtlan. They have ode it a puma soker—they have complained of tlp a fii meng their opponents—they have urged that amongst the liberals holding different opinions, chat upon these Pow& they mast conthoe to hold oaks. I think that is en unworthy way o f patting the question to the electors of the United Singdom. The question is this—whether the new parliament out have sub mitted to it a bill sae ng the requirements of the present toss, and which is ' to meet with acceptance. I have given my opini have given their opinions. All I sak you is to trim me sea Watts reformer—(loud cheering, which lasted several minutee)—and one who has long been engaged In this cause. (Renewed applause.) Gentle men, in asking you to confide in my hands as one of the four members of the City of London, the important trust of deciding what shall be the Reform Bill which is worthy of being pima, I refuse to bind myself to any details either that I or others may propose. I have given in my place in the Home of Common. what I think would be a fair outline. It may be found upon conaideratime that that outline may be changed or altered with advantage to the country. I ask fora free exercise of my *pinks on this subject. I ask you to trust me upon this important per ti,n, and no leas upon another important question, width some persons wish to make a connecting part of reform— I mean the question of the ballot. I have always been ready to give my opinions in the Home of Commons upon that subject, and I will cot bind or lie my dime tion In way whatever. I tell you I am against the ballot. (Cheese, and cries of " No, no.") But, guar men, if I were an advocate for the ballot, I shouM not think that the mode of tying down every member of parliament, or of taking an account of his votes 'imply on that subject, was the way to procure a majority in per- Hawaii on that subject, beau.. honourable men, eves though In father et the ballot will shrink from condition. which they think degrading to their personal honour. I think, likewise, that Haat question, like all other questions, if it has right in its faun! will beet be decided by • free ex preen= of opinion. (Hear, hear.) It is not by cabinet. be log formed on the sole ground of the ballot—which is not vary likely to happen very soon—not by excluding men who are against the ballot from any government—but it is by free adalesion into places In the government, into seats in the legislature of men who tats 4erest views on this subject. It is by such a °our/ that tbe ballet, tf it is well founded in truth end rerun, if it I. inquired for freedom of vote—it is in that manner, I say, that the ballot Is most likely to be carried, if it is ever to be carried at alts I believe much in the utility of constant dlecuerion year by year, for the carrying of questions which are retiommerded by meson and the public benefit. You will perhaps allow me to remind you that in 1841, when I first had the honour of lath( for your auffrsges as member for the City of London, the government of that day bad just been detested upon • question of the diminution of the sugar duties, which left • differentiel duty of 2,4 e. on British sugar and Ns. on foreign anger. The Howe of Commons did decide against that proposition as too favourable to free trade. The government of that day proposed at the same time a diminution of the duties on tern tea fixed duty, sad a reduction of the duty an timber. A general election took piece. In the City of London free trade triumphed, but throughout the country the my for protection was very strong, and with the majority that my we triumphant. Bat the question made progress The great question of the corn duties was token up, not for the of a tiled duty, btiqfor the purpose of a total repeal, Cobden— (toed cheers)—and by those who followed la ; and in the course of a few years that Corn Law was totally repealed. With regard to Winger duties, the very par liament which had been elected under the triumphant ery_of protection, agreed upon my proporition not to leave • &Mr nodal or protective duty of 12e., but to abolish the dames altogether, sod to equalise the duties, redwing them at the same time fur the benefit of the consumer. (Hear, hear.) Welt is the prowess which • qaeation melees when It has truth and justice in its favour. (Loud cheers.) My belief to that if you have inch truth and justice In favour of the ballot it will be carried but it is not my belief that it would be for the public interest, and therefore I believe that public opinion will unticsately pronounce against it. (Cheers, and "No no.") It is atnetter which I wish iterioasly to be dis close:it—it le • matter of onsiderabte Importance, although I believe its decision ass way or another would hardly have the cessequence which awe hope and others townWod (Hear, hear.) Bat I my, let the cpwa tW be fairly and freely diamond. Do not proscribe man because they are against the ballot ,• do not adopt men who have no othermonk merely because they are in await of It. (Beer, bear.) Now, gentlemen, having spoken to you, pokers at too peat l ength, as domestic questions. [A Voice—" How about the futere—we want to Wow what you are going to do I") Now, I tell that gentle man fakly, th at if he expects me to expound to this meeting anew Reform Hilt—to go through all the clauses and pro vides.. of that bill—to say curtly what is to be done, lam usable to make that propontioa. I have stated in my place le the Home of Camases what some think an indimset avowal of my opinion.. To go farther into detail I decline. But what I was (nog to speak of doe. not refer to domestio questions. It ides to a question, at this moment, of very great impoitanee, namely, We question with regard to our foreign rentiene._ And upon AL question, gentle men, let me say at WO that, while I regret that parlia ment should be &solved at a recenent when, as Lord Palmerston darns, your fungi minister cannot say that be la mogiceted by the emollasme of th e Hues of Commas, I meat my, en the other band thatar2iii pert, I have se awn distilet of the puma of State for Foreign Adobe. If his polka rendered more why the affictilties et the dainty, which has never had a minority in the Home of Commons, than by liesown sant ether or tnenuation or ability. (Iltati,_ hear.) But it appears to me that the Foreign Minister will have two peesuons to consider when he is either called to attend Negress or to:speak on the part of England to foreign potion The one renetioe is that of peon ; and upon this question there can be no doubt that he should advise every thing which is most cludmite to the peso of Europe. (Chew) But Wee is another position be must hold, sal that is a position not unbecoming the minister of a free *ma . (lieu, hear.) My belief is that the pe lmet ee.piiatioas In Italy have arisen, not, u ham the conduct of Sardinia. (Hear, heir.) hey bale seism from an abate of military' power by one of the pat powers of Europe from 1816 to the present dons. Hess. the unewitasea in Italy. Hones the temp highs, pssmebbspp,, to the ambition of other powers who seek their pirMdirm fa this =meat of difficulty and dills. (Chow) Par my part. I unholy approve that we should ask tire dem abed& be Mimeo amongst themselves, awl that weshould likewise ask that the territorial etrenge emle of ISIS should not be disturbed. But this I must ray the stab. of Italy, that I think thee, states—independent Mates as they were engaged to be by the treaty of Vienna— might to have tree power to amend: and reform their own homunculi. (Hear, hear.) I cannot think It would be right to say, as Naples has adopted a free constitution, let the Austrian army be marched to Naples; that because Taa -1 may has her institution, and the sovereign wishes to depart from them, let an Austrian army march in to settle the quarrel; that became the people of the estates of the Pops have desired change., let an Austrian army be marched in, to prevent these reforms and amse4 moots being carried out. I cannot Gamelye that any sail. OM erraagemeat can be entered Into which does mot allow ell those dates to provide for their own intend affairs secteding to the widow of each state, comp rising the sovereign and the people. (Hear.) While, therefore, I toot toere will be no wet of imitation, that there will be no war to deprive Amnia of her possessions la Lombardy, and that there will be no bargain for exchange of territories, I hope everything beyond the line of Austria in Italy will he left for the people of Italy to decide—that the people may go longer see the bese, the wisest, the most minutia of her sone confined ix duress for the expression ot their opinions, and condemned to years of wreathed imprisonment for aspiring to free their °pastry from despotism. (Load sheer.) '1 hem are, gentlemen, In a few words, my foreign politico. (Itenewdapplaine.) I stated them in my place in the Home of Commons on the first night of the section of parliament, and they tippler to me to be quite consietent with a settlemeut of the present com pile:end and deranged state of Europe. I have no reason to think thet the present goverment take other views than then. I have seen no state paper of theirs; I have read no declaration of theirs mon which lam at all disposed to differ from them. It is not, therefore, as a party question that I mention it, but I mention it because I think that in there difficult affairs, the voice of the C9kof this country, eeikd in cJ as unoil they are by ministers of the Queen—that their voice, pee pounced through Europe with that energy and power of ex pression with which the people of England can nuke them selves heard in favour of pesos and independence, and the Goldoni of the 11011• Ta awes guaranteed by trusty—that the echo of 'list voice will have greet weight upon the settle silent of them grave and portentous affairs. (Cheep.) Mid now, looking hack for a moment to the lime .hot it past, end looking forward to the time that to come, I cannot but see that under different administrations the canoe of freedom—civil, commercial and religioun—has been making a oonsumi I regrew. trust that progress may continue. (Cheers.) I trait that, whoever may be the ministers of the Queen, that that will be pos.ible, and that at the same time it will 6a uninterrupted. (Cheers.) Mr. Fox once said that of all the inaevations that could be introduced tato the consti tution of England the greatest innovation would be to say that there should be no farther change. We require changes adapted to the ealightennuest of the prople—adasted to the imasenee energies which commerce and manufactures bays produced in certain parts of the Island. I trust that these ohmage@ will be effected. I Inset that they will be reacitably effected, end If you send me to pubament to give my advice on these questions you may depend upon it that, as I have sear hiss faithful to the caw* of hoodoos, I sever de sert that muss, but I trust serve you to the end. (The noble lord resumed his seat amidst laud applause.) Mr. Ca•wroun expend his entire concurrence with Lord Jobs Rowell upon every point exoeit the ballot, to which he bed always given his seu port. Mr. Ditxon denounced the ballot, which he ocomidered a dishonest system of secret voting.

Orsom ova OWN PARIS, FRIDAY livaillno The departure of Count de Persigny for London on a confidential mission, although announced at Brussels yesterday both by the Nord and indepen dence, was quite a secret in Paris up to this morn ing, and down to the hour at which I write many people doubt the truth of the statement. The only journal which allude, to it is the Pays, and this journal merely says that it is a rumour circulated. I am, however, smeared very positively that the oonnt—although he has not yet gone—will leave Paris this evening. There is much confirmation of the rumour which I mentioned yesterday, of • stormy interview between Lord Cowley and Count Walewaki, bat I believe it took place not quite so recently as I had been led to suppose. It wee after this interview, I rather think, that the English government proposed to make a statement in parliament which would have thrown upon France the responsibility of obstructing peace. To prevent this exposé, Count de Persigny's mission was devised, and hence the postponement from Friday to Monday. The Emperor now comes to the Tuileries every day to breakfast, and returns to Villeneuve L'Etang is the evening. While at Paris he gives audiences and sees his ministers. Yesterday, on his way back to the country, he limited the exhibition of modern artists in the Palais de L'lndustrie, where he found the Princesses Mathilde and Clothilde. At Villeneuve l'Etang he shuts himself up for three or four hours every day with General Niel, and holds frequent councils of war with Marshals of France and other general officers. The 2nd regiment of the foreign legion, 2,400 strong, coming from Africa to do garrison duty at Nismes, has landed at Marseilles. Immediately on their arrival, a conference took place between the district general and the Mayor of Nismes about the means of lodging the men. Some of them are to be quartered in buildings belonging to the custom. house. The Journal dm Havre states that orders have been sent to Toulon for the immediate prepara tion of 3,000 " marine bags." These bags, as is well known, comprise all the necessary outfit for a sailor. All naval officers on leave of absence have received ceders to return to their posts within the shortest possible delay. Within the last few days large supplies of sugar, coffee, rice, and other provisions have been sent into store at Toulon. On the other hand, however, the Ocean, of Brest, of the 12th, says that the second division of the squadron, which had received orders to sail for Toulon " to-morrow " is detained, pursuant to fresh instructions. The Marquis Massimo d'Azeglio arrived in Paris this morning. The Pays announces that he will stay here some days before going to London. This news if true, is inconsistent with a rumour which is likely to be promulgated in the European pram, that his arrival in London is awaited in order to furnish ministers with materials for their explana tions on Monday next. The Bourse was opened for the first time at loon. The Rents wu very languid during the early part of the day, and fell some centimes lower than yes terday, bat in the afternoon hopes of peace were built upon Count de Persigny's mission, and the closing prices were 67fr. 60c. and 671 r. 136 c., with a rise of 20c. and 40c. Mobilier rose 17fr. 60c. The Orleans railway row 10tr.; Lyons and Eastern, 6fr. 26c. each ; and the other lines from lfr. to 2r. 50c. PIEDMONT. The Opinions of Turin announces the snivel there on the 11th of five of the Neapolitan exiles, who, u already stated, lately passed through France from England. In the sitting of the 12th of the Chamber of Hepa tica at Turin, a bill for a grant of 803,115 G. to be applied to the fortifications of Alessandria was voted without opposition, after which the chamber proceeded to examine the budget of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs. Count Solaro della Margherita, of the extreme right, rose, and after disclaiming all intention of embarrassing the government in the present doubtful state of affairs, begged to remind Count Cavour that for many ages Piedmont, small u she was, had always maintained a high po sition in the councils of greater powers through her po litical sagacity and the blood bravely spilt in war by her soldiers. Hence the responsibility of the minister would be immense, should his political plane, by their failure, diminish the lustre of that high posi tion. The hon. gentleman concluded with recom mending Count Cavour to take proper measure, for the maintenance of internal tranquility. After this speech a pause ensued, and all eyes were turned towards Count de Cavour, who was in his usual place, but did not offer to reply. The chamber then proceeded with the budget, and voted all the article?. PRUSSIA. The magistrates and communal councillors of Berlin having sent a congratulatory address to the Prince Regent on the occuion of his birthday, his royal highness, in his reply, need the following words: The more serious and palatal an the circumstaccas under which my birthday this time returns, the more I feel the value of the sentiments you express to me. I learn with pleasure that you have watched with serious attention my efforts for maintdoing the general peace, which, by its long daratioe, bee entbled Prussia to develop her restores@ to an incredtble extent; but I have read with still greeter eatiefaction the amorance that Berlin will not hesitate to ater:Bee her &west intentats for the baminees and wel fare of the country, should It be in the decrees of Prevideace that the honour of the crown and of the state should one day require it. Letters from Hungary (says the Continental Review) report a carious system of espionnage 'which has lately been Introduced by the Austrian government. Almost all the public schools have a large number of small an;aenefiers or scholarships to bestow, and the poorer clam of pupils end students are very eager in their occopetition for these small soon, which range from 10e. to 21. per quarter. Of late the c,mpetitore for them scholarships have been compelled to supply to the judge* "authentic information respecting the political end moral conduct of their parent'," more sepedally daring end since the crisis of 1849. In spite of there end oth. r precautions, the stain of Bunny is con sidered precarious. The country population, though moot traequil, la disaffected, and should the Auatrian armies esparienoe a reverse on the Ticino, their disaster will be the signal fora rising on the Their. A strange case of libel hu just been tried at Munich. Herr Z order, the editor of a email piper called the Volksbote, wee accused of having slandered a minister of state, the Count Reigersterg. The libel wee a ntaMed in en article on a recent election, and the words were .—" The Herr Minister got twenty-four vote*, but ass more was wanting." To the non-Havarlan mind the .etas has no meaning whatever; but cn the trial the advocate fir the crown reminded the court of the fact that certeie chase of Bavarians are occasionally subjected to corporal pun;simient, cud that twenty live is the number of prior! or stripe which e7e jadicially awarded to the delinquent among his Mak sty's liege.. The &Hasten to the penal number of twenty-fire was the gravamen of the charge preferred ageing , Her Zander. That gentleman made a humorous defence, mid ebeatned a verdict.
