The Sultan reserved to himself the right of deposing, and there was in consequence always a number of families Midgets' satinet the reigning who I would get up complaints, end carry them to the Stettin, in order to get hies deposed. In that way the state of these provinces was constantly diaturbed, in consequence of the intrigue, of the nobility against the reigning family. Then they say, and I think very reasonably, let us have a prince who is not subject to these influences—let us have a foreign prince. Let as imagine what would be the state of things then? They would have that self government which but for the Interference of Russia they would have enjoyed very many years, and they would increase in wealth and prosperity. But, says my noble friend, that would be no barrier against the designs of Russia. It appears to me, on the contrary, that a people en klieg the benefit of self-government, imitating in wealth and prosperity —a people in the enjoyment of liberty—that such a people form the best barrier satinet forage aggregate and (maga conquarts that ma be devised—(bear, heer)—• barrier far better end more effective than any treaty. That has been the result in other parts of Europe. In the division of Europe is 1815 those wise per sons by whom that arrangement was finally made, It is well known, departed from the plan of Mr. Pitt, with regard to uniting Belgium with Prussia—in that final arrangement Belgium was Hued to Holland, and what was the remit ? Everybody knows that Belgium speedily became discontented and demanded • separation . The Dutch, though they ggooveted themselves very well, had not the art to govern the Bilgia s, wki e nt: e l et religion, and habits differed from theirs. There was discontent; and at lase in 1832, Belgium was into an independent kingdom under King Leopold. That was an arrangement made by my noble friend the member fur Tiverton, who was then Foreign Secre tary ; and ever since then there had been a strong national spirit in Belgium. They have enjoyed their own contain non, their representative chambers, and their free prem. They value those institutions, and I believe no thing would be en irksome to them, or so likely to create radetance, so any attempt to extend Preach or any other foreign influence in that country. These are mature which those who negotiate diplomatic treatise some times aegiset to take into oonskieration. But they might to remember in making these arrangements that the wawa of • people, the love of • people for their inaitu timie, form a denier against foreign foes more suoneasful than the most skilfully drawn treaties. Thew, then, are my opinions es to the arrangement. which ought be made. I think the home ought to feel Itself indebted to my right hon. friend—(bear)—for bringing forward the subject. I feel that the governments which at Paris made an engagement to consult the Principalities, did, to a certain alai; commit the faith of this country. (Ear, hag.) I feel also the justice of the statement made by the noble toed opposite, that we are too often accused of giving encouragement to nations to assert their liberties sad to pro . claim their independence, and then calmly and coldly desert lag their mom (Cheers.) 't Podet et bac opprobria notes Et diet pumas& et non midge. refelli." ' It is painful in such a cane as dila, aiming forward at the time when the case of Sardinia is exciting attention, to find that after giving emouragement, we are about to witndnew ?rem the Principalities the support of this country. It will give rime not only to disappointment, but the complaint of wont of • faith. I think that her Majesty's plenipotentiary should ' have instructions not to support the placing of • foreign prince over the Principalities, whom ales it woad bete en tend his dominion into Bulgaria, but that goy Avoid lonia united government--• united legislature. If they have this I believe that they will give security to the future pesos of Europe. Tie; CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—Sir, the ' noble lord who hest Jest set down thinks that it is only by adopting the address moved for by the right hon. gestietnea ' the member for Oxford that can extricate ourselves from • &Mauna. it appears to me that if we adopt that motion of the right hon. gentles= we shall find °lrreales in a dilemma. The right hon. gentleman hes in that eloquent ' speech produced an effect on the house which hie eloquence ins calcalnted to bring forth, for his address was conceived in • generous spirit—its object was a generous one. Now, at • this pment moment, on this subject, there is, between the government of her Majesty and that of France, a perfect nnaehnity of sentiment, of views, and of policy, in its widest and truest sense ; and in a few days the representative@ of theme two governments will be prepared to maintain, to re commend, and to enforce that policy. Now, how it will facilitate that policy that at this moment the House of Commons should come forward, on the eve of the commencement of negotiations, and carry an address lab this to the crown, embarrass imt the English representative without in any way ember rasing the French representative, I do not see. On the contrary, I think that that will place us in a dilemma. (Hear, hear.) And, sir, the noble lord who haa just addreeeed us has told us that the honour of this house of parliament and of the country is involved in this lnastion, and that we am taking a course which is not in ao3ordanoe with the en gagements into which we have entered. That, air, is • very serious charge. We are all guardians of the honour of this country In this bows. But before we come to • vote which may have an indiums upon the course of events which few, perhaps, in this house are prepared to anticipate, we ought to have a c leer idea of the engagements into which this country has really entered on this subject. (He= bear.) Therefore, I must refer to the articles of the treaty. They are brief, but if they were long I should not apologies on reading them when so grave a statement has been made. Now, hers are the sticles. I find in article 22 of the Treaty of Paris, "The Principalities of Wallachia and Moldavia shall continue to enjoy, under the suairainty of the Porte and the guarantee of the contracting powers, the privileges sad immunities of which they were in possession. No eulo gy' protection shall be exercised over them by any of the eastraciting powers, and there shall be no separate right of interferame in their internal affairs." (Hear.) Who, then* is pegged w mem that anyone who Ms been or is mildew ,of this siestry is trying to recede from this engagement? Than is another article to which I will refer. " His Ma jolty the Sultan promises to convoke in each of the two pro visoes a Divan ad hoe chosen in such a manner at to repro- eat all Interests. These Divans shall be called upon to regrets the wishes of the people in regard to the organisation of the Principalities." Who dears that aoy expression by this Divan with regard to the interior organisation of the Principalities should sot be respected? We have jam beard front the noble lord that • Joint }sem Imam is most datimbie. But no engagement exist@ on the of this country for the establishment of • joint d ialers. In dealing with this subject we moat have reference to the engagements of trestles and to the rights of powers. You cannot settle a question of this kind by a brilliant oration—turning this house into • divan ad doe. (A laugh.) You must look to the rights and obligations of the pertiee—that, at least, was the opinion of the noble lord (I. Rowell) when he was the representative of his Sovereign at Vienna. Nothing is so easy se to come forward and make representations each es we have heard to-eight, which, when you examine them, vanish like • fairy dream.

The Berl of D Lair( having listened to the deputation, raid that, although no doubt there were very strong feelings in many quarters in favour of the alteration of the law, upon the balanoa of tie difficulties and possible advantages and evils, the inclination of his own mind wee not in accord. sacs with the views which had been impressed upon him by the deputation. At the same time, this question most be decided by the programs of public opinion ; and if the public opinion in favour of an alteration of the law wes ea strong and as general as the deputation seemed to think It was, that public opinion would be sure to have its effect upon the House of Commons, and, ultimately, upon the House of Lords. His own opinion, he candidly stated, was, that it was a question of ao political party, and he did not think It ought to be taken as a government question. He, for his own part, would not exert any influence whatever over a single indi vidual In either house in opposition to the bill. His vote had hitherto been in opposition to the alteration of the law, but he should consider It, so far as the government wee concerned, a perfectly open question both in the House of Commons and in the Honest of Lords. The deputation thanked his lordship for hie kind reception of them, and then withdrew. THE METIOPOLITAN 618 COMPANIES.- DEPUTATION 112 IHE ZONE 810RITANY. Yesterday afternoon a deputation front the various neetropeliten gee companies waked en the Home Beciretary, fa teterence to the statements recently made by a deputation hero the metropolitan parishes se to the districting arrange ments and alleged monopoly of the cumpanies. The depu tation was Inirodneed by Mr. F. W. Russell, and lir. Butler, M.P., and ouneleted of Captain Brown, Messrs. Hawes, Browne, Price, and other gentlemen representing eleven companies. Mr. Rossti.t., M.P., noted that the gee companies were exoeslingly anxious to have the charges against them de em& He denied that most of the companies had obtained their acts of parliament on the basis of competition. The gas sompaairs had no objection to be griveraed upon the principle of the Gas Companies Clauses A mated in 1847. He mentioned many faits in evidence ct, ot the com prise 'applying gm at a fair prior, and remarked that some of them paid the limited dividend recognised by parliament. They him, however, no objection to a four committee. Mr. War rote mid that one point urged by the deputed.= from the metropolitan perishes which struck him se a very straw ewe, sad which induced him to admit that a Jana ease was male out for inquiry, was that in which they &okra.

IL NIL Toreasow—MordeL 7L a. 71 Sim LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MAY 6. MR. VERNON SMITH is of opinion that what has occurred in the Committee of the whole House proves the inconvenience of proceeding by Resolution in framing a new Home Government for India. It is very natural that Mr. VERNON Slim should think so. Had there been but one grand field day on the second reading of Lord PALMERSTON'S Bill, and then a series of desultory struggles on the wording of the different clauses, the measure might have been forced through the House of Commons with little difficulty or delay. Its weak and mischievous points might have been kept in obscurity. No opportunities would have been given of exposing the dangerous conaequenoes of adopting it both with regard to India and England. It is, no doubt, very inconvenient for Mr. Sums and his late . colleagues that the general principles of Indian Government should be discussed as a preliminary to the introduction of a Bill. Such a mode of proceeding is not likely to result in the implicit adoption of their Bill. A better chance is afforded of obtaining a Bill which may neither derange the balance of the English con stitution, nor hand over the natives of India, bound hand and foot, to the tender mercies of a despotic Minister. Mr. VERNON Smrrn's inoonvemence may be the country's pin. The advantage of proceeding in this all-important matter by way of Resolution in Committee is, that not a step can be taken in the discussion without the attention of the Legislature being drawn to conse quences of the attempt to remodel our form of Indian Government which might otherwise have escaped notice. Take as an example of what we mean, the consideration submitted by Mr. GLAD STONE apropos of the discussion whether the Home Government of India should be administered by a Secretary of State or by a Minister in Council. " The hon. Member for Northampton," said Mr. GLADSTONE, " objected to the Minister for India " being a Secretary of State ; and he (Mr. GLAD " STONE) agreed with him, for the office of Secretary " of State was one which ought not to be lightly " dealt with, and you ought to retain the dividing " lines which distinguished the position of these " ancient officers of the Crown. He did not " know that we had done wisely when we " made the Secretary for War a great " spending officer. It was intended that the " Treasury should have a control over the " officers of State who had the spending of " money ; and it might make a very material dif " ference if you had to deal with a Secretary at War " instead of an officer with the rank of Secretary of " War." We are not prepared to acquiesce in Mr, GLADSTONE'S doctrine that the Treasury ought to have the control of all the other departments of the State. It appears to us that the Treasury has of late arrogated more authority in this respect than is altogether consistent with the due balance of power in the Administration. To us it appears that the controlling authority ought to be vested in a Mi nister who is free from departmental trammels. Bet of the fact announced by Mr. GLADSTONE there can be no doubt. The creation of a new Secretary of State will of necessity disturb the existing balance of power in our Cabinet arrange ments. The working of our whole system of Impe rial administration will be both directly and indi rectly affected by the change. The patching of this new cloth of an Indian Secretary on the old cloth of our English Cabinet can scarcely fail to lead to an unseemly rent in the time-honoured garment. It is impossible to revolutionise the Home Government for India without giving a sympathetic shake to the Imperial Government. This is a consideration which bad not presented itself to the minds of our Representatives in the House of Commons when they rashly and inconsiderately pledged themselves to fabricate a new Home Govern ment for India during the present session, and it ought to induce them to pause in their headlong Career. Another important consideration was placed in a clear light in the course of the diactuision which led to Mr.Vitimon SMITH'S plaintive remonstrance, and Mr. GLADSTONE'S pregnant suggestion. Mr. Roe- BUM administered a shock to the drowsy HMSO by one of his most startling paradoxes. " The real " Go vernment of England,"exclaimed the Honourable and Learned Member for Sheffield, "is in this House." No one can appreciate more highly the important functions of the House of Commons than we do, but we must demur to the assertion that the House is the Government of England. It is merely a branch of the Legislature; it is neither the Judicial nor the Executive Department of the State. It is from its very constitution utterly incapable of efficiently discharging Executive or Judicial functions. It is too numerous for an Executive body. It is, and it ought to be, composed of members who represent the feelings and opinions of every grade and section of society ; many of whom are admirably qualified for the office of Representatives by the very qualities which render them incompe tent for the discharge of Executive functions. If the House of Commons takes upon it to act as the Exe cutive—as the Government of England—it will be guilty of a gross usurpation, of a usurpation pref. nant with the most ruinous results. But how doss Mr. ROEBUCK propose that his new-fangled Govern meat of England shall act with regard to India It ought, according to him, to nominate an Indian Minister; to abstain from all inquiry, from all inter faience, until that Minister has acted; and then to punish him if he has done wrong. No precautions are to be taken to ensure the right action of this Minister; no constitutional forms of procedure are to be traced out for him; no advisers with sub ordinate or co-ordinate authority Sr. to be amooiatod with him ; he is to be despotic until he may have done all the mischief that unbridled passion or un measured ignorance may prompt—and then he can only be punished. What consolation or redress can the punishment of an erring individual afford for (it may be) a people ruined and a realm undone? Besides, are we certain that an English House of Commons would visit with any real penalty the most flagrant misgovernment of India ? The Indian Minis ter would be only one of a Ministry. His col leagues would make common cause with him. Any condemnation of him would be declared to be a vote of censure on the whole Administration. And the majority of the House would shrink from thus weakening a Ministry of whose general policy it approved for such a trifle u the ruin of Hindostan. Mr. ROEBUCK'S supreme House of Commons and single Indian Minister mean neither more nor less than irresponsible and unmitigated despotism for India. We cordially thank him for thus obtruding on the ►ight of day the single, unhampered Minister for India in his true lineaments. The Minister for India with only a nominal Council—as recom mended by Lords ELLENBOZOUGB, PALMERSTON. and lons Russeu,—woold be the male as the Minister without any Council recommended by Mr. ROZBUCE, with this sole difference, that their nominal Council would serve as a screen behind which the Minister could half hide himself. The harsh lineaments of despotism would be veiled, and its perpetuation facilitated. Let the Committee bear this in mind, when Mr. EDWARD ELLICE'S proposal to substitute a President in Council for a Secretary of State is submitted to them. If they will incontinently revolutionise the Government of India, let them at least subject their Indian Minister to the necessity of working in conformity with some constitutional forms, through the agency of some constitutional coadjutors. Is it pos sible that any one man can despatch all the business which will devolve upon a Mi nister for India ? Our already existing Secre taries of State, Chancellor of the Exchequer, Lords of the Admiralty, &c., have quite as much business as they can well get through. But the Minister for India, unless he is aided by a co ordinate Council, must, for the immense Empire of India, be all these functionaries in one. CPRON OUR OWN 0011INIFOND1NT.) PARIS, TUNISDLY EYNNINO. M. Jacques Valserres, a great French authority upon all matters ovine, bovine, and porcine, em u . plains in the Presse of the dearness of meat in Pads, notwithstanding, or rather because of, the abolition of the butchers' monopoly. A considera ble fall in cattle has, it appears, occurred in all the markets of France, and yet •the butchers in Paris raise their prices. The conclusion drawn from this phenomenon by the economical writer of the Presss is that the liberty of the butchers' trade requires to be "regulated." He asserts that the consumer, un protected by a tax, is utterly helpless against the exigencies of the butcher. In a former article, to which he now refers, he reasons in this way :—The price of merchandise is regulated by the demand; the opening of the trade will augment the number of butchers in Paris, ergo, there will be a greater demand for butchers' meat, and consequently the price must be dearer to the consumer. Further this gentleman, whose name is known in every agricultural district in France u the principal metropolitan writer on rural affairs, says that when you augment the number of butchers they must necessarily cheat their customers to a greater extent than was done under the reyitne of monopoly, be cause the aggregate profit. of fraud have to be divided among a greater number of families, who most, above all things, provide for their own neces sities. This reasoning reminds me of a famous bull, to the effect that the immutable laws of na ture prevail all over the world except in Ireland. So we are now tempted to say that the laws of political economy rule everywhere except in France. It does not occur to M. Valserres, who must have a much greater knowledge of his countrymen than I can pretend to have, that if cattle is cheap in the provinces, and if the existing butchers in Paris sell meat at a price far exceeding a reasonable profit, immense fortunes are to be made by butchers, not now hampered by 'restrictive laws, who will court custom by selling cheaper. He represents the consumer as being relegated to a state of hopeless ignorance, forced to buy an inferior part of the beast for the best, and having no means whatever of knowing what would be a fair price for his joint. He reiterates the old argument which so long propped up the obligatory markets of Sceaux and Poissy, and the butchers' bank at the latter place—viz., that unless graziers were assured of a market of state regulations they would never run the risk of bringing their beasts to Paris. The remedies which he suggests are, Ist, the establishment of government butchers' shops, which should sell at (what he calls) " the real price," in order to show the consumer what meat is worth, and 2nd, the establishment of a single and obligatory market outside the barriers of Paris. There can be no doubt that a cattle market nearer to Paris than Sceaux or Poissy would be • great improvement ; but the notion of its being " obli gatory" is repugnant to the spirit of the new free trade law, which I have no doubt the government will maintain, and which the public will find the benefit of when they become a little more accus tomed to the removal of their swaddling clothes. The only interest of the Bourse was concentrated in the Credit Mobilier, which, owing to the oversold " bear " account, again rose considerably. The shares were at one time quoted at 750 fr., but they receded to 737 fr. 50c., closing with a rise of 17fr. 50e. The Bents fell lbo. for cash, and sc. for account, closing at 69fr. 30c. and 69fr. 55c. The Orleans and Northern railways rose 2fr. 50c. each. Eastern fell 15fr. The other lines were about 2fr. 50c. lower. The market was generally heavy at the close. The secretary of the Credit Mobilier Company, M. Lemonnier, writes to the Debuts to give an em phatic denial to a statement that the " firmness " of the Finance Minister, upon which he was recently complimented by the Emperor in the Monaeur, has had occasion to show itself apropos of the Credit Mobilier. The rumour to which this contradiction applies was to the effect that the non-declaration of • dividend by the Credit Mobilier was owing to the initiative of M. Magne, who had said that he could not sec where they were to find funds for a dividend unless by trenching upon their capital. The Press, says, in its weekly commercial review: . . We have this week some ether more favourable advise from our principal oomenercial °entree ; even Paris half seems to be emerging from the almost absolute state d I. anion which has prevailed since the letter months of 1847. Foreign wads are beginning to make their appearance is the measholarbe, sad, although they have as yet bought but tittle, there is reason to hope that the accumulation of merchandise in foreign markets will soon be sufficiently reduced to encourage demand for our manufactures. We may nodes espeddly, es a man- swing symptom, the orders from the United Situ received at Lyons, and the decided movement which has occurred at the latter plass. Certain special fabrics are eagerly bought ap as feet se they have the loom, and, at the same time, awe is a ravine! In the finer kinds of silks.
