Wen the reseals are tally known and fairly weighed which have led Mr. COPOZN to decline the °Mir of a m4t in the present Cabinet, every ma• who values personal independence and gingkoes' of purpose in our public men will feel that the gifted and upright Member for Rochdale has acted is • manner every way worthy of him. Buse woe invi tation more appropriately conceived or MOM greaa• fully conveyed. The office kept open for his so. ceptaace until he should have returned from abroad was the one which of all others he bad proved his paramount Wafts to fill. Why it was not placed at his option twelve years ago, when the emancipation of trade was still new, we need not now inquire. As a fitting recognition of the great services he had rendered to the industry of his country that would have been peculiarly acceptable in the eyes of the nation at large. Though late, it was right and wise to repair that omission ; and we must do Lord PALMLI:STON the juiticei of saying that we believe nothing could be better done than the proffer made by him to Mr. CoulieN by letter of the Presidency of the Board of Trade. Nor was this all. From all sides upon his landing in England he wu beset with public recommendations as well as private counsels to join the Administration. The men of his own class, with whom he had so long toiled and striven for the advancement of high and noble aims, pressed round him to say how gratified they would be to see him, as the representative man of their clam, assuming his legitimate place in the councils of the Executive. Family and personal friends added the expression of their hopes. What in the nature of inducement could man have more? Far from giving way to hasty impulse, Mr. COBDEN desired time for reflection and opportunity to consult his own thoughts as to what course he melt, in the interests of the people, whose I►ft►fal sortant he so !mg Ma bee's, under all the cfreamsts.nees to , take. We do not believe that in his own mind there I was any real indecision. His first impression was probably the last one, and, we have no doubt, the right one ; but, in deference to the many and urgent instances of those he loves and trusts, a man ' of erase will never refuse to re-consider calmly and deliberately the reasons they would have him weigh. Herein, and herein only, we believe the delay which was permitted to take place in the hon. Mem ber's receipt of the l'anstaa's letter, and the visit to Cambridge-house yesterday, in the course of which be excused himself from joining the Admi nistration. Here, however, we must pause for a moment to I express the surprise and regret with which, in com mon with every friend of Mr. COUDEN, we read the extraordinary language reported to hare fallen from • leading member of the Cabinet in the Upper Hones on Thereday evening. While the Presidency of the Board of Trade was still waiting the hon. gen tleman. acceptance, the Duke of Newt %WILE did not hesitate to use expreseions which, if we understand them correctty, amounted to little short of • warn ing to Mr. COktDEN to enter the Cabinet at the peril of his consistency se • public man. In reply to a silly taunt from so inexpert a critic as his Grace of RCTLAND, the SICRITART for the COLONILI opeured the Hum of Lords that if Mr. COBDIX joined the Government it would be with the Mod understanding not only that existing armaments should be maintained without any diminution, bat that they should be largely increased as mania' might reignite; in other wards, that he was to he regarded as taking office, not es an equal among equals in • newly constructed Cabinet, when ►is advice, like that of others, should be fairly considered relent quantum, bet as on. who, Wag haunt to entertain strong opinions u to economy sod re treinclimeet, would only be suffered to edge his way in on condition that he left those opinions at the door' A more ill-timed es ungracious intimation to a proposed colleague we certainly never remember to have heard of. We cannot venture to 'ermine that it made any practical difference in the determination eventually come to by the Member for Rochdale; but had he been wavering, we can conceive few things more calcu lated to do so. The PM* cheered, of course, the Duke of Nr. set %ma's words. Why Not that they derived from them any greater confidences that the defences of the country would be efficiently kept for upon that subject the current of pnbille opinion runs so strong just now that the mat bellicose of their lordships may be at saes esosera. iag Nests and armaments adequate to meet all emer gent:dew. It wee the application of the principle to Mr. Costixte as an intruder within the privileged circle of official power that they thoughtlessly and recklessly cheered, and it is therefore we feel called on to mark it in the strongest terms. Could any feeling have overcome Mr, COBDEN . / Obp'ettolli to taking office at the present time, it would have been, we are convinced, his earnest wish to see clan seclusion and monopoly broken down. Sir HOLIEST l'lst. made it his highest boast that be, the son of • cattoci-eptnner, bad been sent for from Rome Its be made Prime Minister of England. With squall pnde might the Manchester Maas fosterer may that, while yet on the other side of the Atlantic, be had been designated not only by the highest confidential counsellors of the Crown, but by the public voice of his country as the fittest man to whom could be confided the Imperial portfolio of commerce. Hit it is one thing to feel proud of a nation's efictidruce, and it is another to he intoxi cated therewith. Every man worthy of natural respect most be left the unshackled liberty of judging how he can honestly and consisteally serve the State. The faithful servant of the people is not the slave of their flattering and it may be undeserving caprice. Mr. Coi,PEN was very unpopular not long ego; but be was not swayed thereby into compromising his lode pendent hearing: he is just se popular now, and be has proved that he cannot be land by honours and emoluments into a position of which he would other wise be proud, when he does not clearly see his way to the retention of his ows scrupulous seMrespect. Far from being disposed to exaggerate points of con►cientious divergency between himself end Minister', he has volunteered the expression of his good wishes for their success, and his desire to support them. But he his, after due deliberation, made up his mind that upon the whole it is better for them, for him, and for the interests of the public, that he should not form part of Lord PALMERSTON'S Administration; and that being his self-denying twelve, we hare nothing to do but respectfully to acquiesce in it.

Tat Ite••PrOlitION111117 01 , TWO DP3II OP TIM BOARD. A report was broaght up from the Works and General Purposes Committee with respect to the re-apportionment of the Rock Loan, which stated that the committee had care fully considered the statements contained in the Tarbes coca nittnications referred to them, end had reamaldered the principles on which the apportionment they at first recom weeded wee founded. The remit had been that whilst they for the most part Whited to the recommendations contained is their former report, they bad with respect to some few weeks affecting seemed perishes introduced a modification of the principle at first sdopted,whicli would effect a correspond leg alteration is the amounts to be charged to some of those parishes. In their report of Merck 21, the committee elated that where the work executed benefited one perish only, they imposed the whole coot of the work on that perish, and wbtro it benefited more th an one, they had divid e d th e cost between the wattle benefited, laths proportion of themes is each perish drained by the work. It wee in the clam of cases falling under tee latter branch of the foregoing rule that the modificatioa above referred to woe introduced. Further con. ! delegation) had 'MOW the committee that the tent of area aloes was not the just principle for apportioning the wet of • work; but that it was also proper to consider the retest:pie annual value of the property situate will-in the limits affected by the sore, end with respect to soma few works, therefore, they had distributed the coo between the periebea in the ratio of the rentals. A tabular statement appended to the report chewed the alteration in the amounts sleeting certain parishes. The committee then proceeded to comment upon ouch of the representations contained io the memorials re ferred to them ea seemed to them to demand separate no• tics. Some of these documents contained arguments di rected to the object of showing that the origital apportion ment of tee Sewers Counnisoloners was the only clue which could Le adopted consistently with juotee and equity, and they objected to any alteration whatever. The cum matte', however, considered it unnecessary to reply to these cal detail, inasmuch as the beard had decided that it vise =tthat a re-distribation of these debt. should be mods, at appplicatioa should be made to parliament fur that purpose. ls Jonas few insteeces, some trilling errors were pointed out fa sudiniag the cost of particular lengths of sewer to certain parishes, whereon the sewer woe in fect found to be constructed in another locslity. Them arum in some Instances from a similarity of names. A few errors of this nature might enmity occur in en inquiry so extensive and compliceted, but they bad been rectified. With respect to the letter from Mr. Daw, clerk tethsCommimionersof Sewers for the City of London, stating, that in reference to the proposed re-apportionment of that part of the Rack Loan which related to the Counter's Creek Sewer, the City was distinctly excepted by the Metropolitan Senors Act from that debt, and that, is the City were at that time exe cuting their own works of sewerage, some of them mate rially affecting the districts out of the City, entirely at their own eon, the commiesionere thought that it was sot reason able that any charge on the citizens should be made on ac must of such debt. As regards the execution of local drainage, the committee were of opinion that the Commis sioners of Sewers for the City of London stand in the more position with regard to the works executed by them within tboir own arra as other districts in the metropolis with out falls into the Thames. The main drainage weeks are works of interception, and the neoeveity for such works ernes as well from the City sewers as from !hotel of other districts hiring their outfall into the river; end, as regards the Counter's Creek diversion works, the committee consider there is no Injustice in making the cost of these works a metropolitan charge, es they form part of the interception work., and, if not already completed, they would now have to be constructed as a part of the mein drainage. As a'ready intimated, however, the committee do not propose to raise this part et the debt by but suggest that it should be paid out tithe moseys raised under the Mein Beldame Act of last year. Ms works the expense of which has been re-distributed ac- Gordian to rental are the following:-1. The Hammersmith Creek and Webb'e-lase contracts, the satire cost of which was 7,9191. 19s. 7d.; and, as a consequence of adopting the =Lk of rental, en addition will be made to the debt cf ransith, in which perish the works were executed. I The debt of Mantinenanith wid to increased from the amount recommended I. the former report of your committee— namely, lddl. le. 4d to 6,1601. Se. 4d., and Willeedea, Acton, sad Fulham will be proportionably relieved, Chiswick Time a slight increase. 2. The Deptford, Lewisham. sad Bell-pees sewer, the cost of which was 26,6461. lea. 6d., has been imperil:gad according to the rental, in consequence of which the charge on St. Paul, Deptford, is inert-amid from 6.3381. 2., ed., the amount first recommended, to 7,7721. les. 7d. The third work which has been dealt with la tees seine manner is the North Kent Val ley and Leo-road newer, Ac. , cost 2,6801. de. 14., which wall make eons variance he the amounts proposed to be charged cm the perishes concerned. Mr. Cesium moved the ador ion of the report, which wee sanded by Mr. WAIN, and *Per a rather spiritcl di.- envies wee adopted by a majority of 17 to S. TMISTAIi Or_illllltVill TUANIF.B. A report Was presented from Prokesor Miller on the pre. mat Mahe d the Themes. Itetated that in consequence of the rise In the temperature, the ogenaive odours from the river had considerably increased, and he strongly urged the cositlcessee of the ionise proem. The mean temperature of the sir between the 10th and 23rd of June was 60.2; that of the river for the same period was 66.4, the minimum being 6.3.5, sad the maximum 66 7, so that the toted variation in the temperature of the water was only 1.2 during that fortnight. The report was rexiived end adopted. WINDSOR ROYAL Assocurray.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (PROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING. The news of a resumption of hostilities may now be expected from the left bank of the Mincio ever y day. The Emperor, who had waited at Volta to see his entire army pass the river, has now atoned it himself, and established his head-quarters at Valleggio. Pursuant to a plan knob .1 to have been previously settled, the Sardinians commence opera tions in the quadrilateral, by laying siege to Peachier'. This place was taken by the Sardinian troops inlB4B, after a twenty-six days' siege. Prince Napoleon's corps is, according to one account, to invest Mantua at once. The prince was to have met the Emperor at Valleggio yesterday. There are now very persistent rumours that the Emperor will shortly return to Paris. Some say that he might be expected at the beginning of next month, but others look for him much sooner. I my self feel it difficult to believe that the unequal war can drag on for another month, but I do not think the Emperor will leave the army until the campaign is over. I have Been a private letter from an officer of the 49th to his wife, in which it is stated that twenty two officers of that regiment were killed and wounded at Solferino. This letter confirms the fact, not yet stated in any Paris journal, that General Douay was wounded; the colonel of the 49th was obliged to take the command of his brigade before the battle was ended. I hear of another regiment in which a third el the officers were hors de combat. By another unpublished letter I learn that the casualties of the ICOth regiment were 6 officers killed, 11 wounded, and 423 men killed and wounded. These figures foreshadow a frightful total of losses, end fully account for the hesitation of the French government to let the whole truth come out. The first Sardinian balletic, which stated the casualties in the Piedmontees army at 1,000, was unfortunately very erroneous. An official bulletin, signed by Ueral Della Rocca, now gives the totaal gardinian lose at 6,525, of which 3,406 are wounded and 1,268 A Paris letter in the Gironde of Bordeaux toys the Corps Legislatif will probably be invoked shortly for an extraordinary session. This news savours of new taxes and new levies. The Bonne was tolerably firm. Rumours of more satisfactory news from Prussia were in circu lation. The Rents rose 10c. for cash and account, closing in each cue at 63fr. 10c. Mobilier fell ;fr. boc. Railways left off a shade lower. All the principal coulisaiers have resolved to ab stain for a time from doing business, in the full belief that the want of them must soon be so strongly felt even by the regular brokers themselves, that the government will be forced to take measures to re establish them in their functions. It was at one time expected that the body would be unanimous on this point. Bat some of the younger members thinking that the risk of a second prosecution is but alight, are unwilling to forego their profits, and say they will go on in spite of the adverse judgment of a court of law. There appears to have been a momentary fear that France might, in consequence of the war, run short of coal. It is now said that all apprehensions on this subject are at an end. Large supplies have lately been received from Eogland and Prussia, and 20,000 tons are expected shortly from the United States. M. Perrfe, auditor of the Council of State, who has just returned to Perk from the Emperor Napoleon, to whom he carried ffepatcher, relates that he found his Ma jesty the morning ate the battle of Solferino In a house at Cardona.

(now ova owx LUGANO, JUNI 27. After visiting several towns of South Germany, I was with some surprise brought to the conviction that the people beyond the Rhine are profoundly in different to the present war. Even in Swabia, where from religion and old connexion the population , might be supposed to sympathise with Austria, I did not find them to care much for her fate. But, on the other hand, the officials are in a dreadful state of I anxiety, and with the officials may be grouped all the higher classes. The honest German farmers, though in no wise loving the French, entertain no fear. of them. But nobles and official., and the courts, great and small, with which they are connected, do mor tally fear lest the French should come back to com plete what they had half executed half a century ago, in the days of their ascendancy. There are a class of writers, too, who would represent the war se one of race—of Gaal against German, and Celt against Teuton. In a philosophical point of view the struggle may be this, but neither the people nor the combatants take such a view. The North and Central Swiss, all Germans as they are, show no predilection for Austria, who, to be sure, was their old enemy ; and Swabians and Swiss have a great many sentiments in common. Swiss and Germans, too, look for one material result of the present war, in which, I trust, they will not be disappointed. They look to the complete opening of Switzerland by railways down to the Mediterranean. The government of Piedmont had done its best to further this, but it was too poor. Besides, the best and most natural passages went through Pavia and the Milanese. The commercial and political adjunction of the two would be looked on as a great boon both to Switzerland and South- West Germany, for which the Rhine has proved no outlet. The least that people here hope for Victor Emmanuel is the Milanese, Parma, and that portion of Modena which is immediately behind Genoa. After that, say they, carve Italy as you please. Whether " war thoughts" will allow these pacific plans to ripen remains to be seen. But certainly the war mania is spreading fast in Switzerland; and although the Federal government has raised about 12,000 men at the expense of some 50,0001., it has still filled all the southern cantons with drums, trum pet., and military occupation. The rumour runs that the French Emperor, feeling the great sacri fices of men he has made, and fearing that he may want his native troops to resist German on slaught, has resolved on appealing to the Italian., and making them raise 300,000 men to defend Italy,, after he has freed it. The idea is a magnificent one. Italy, with 300,000 Italian soldiers, can not only defend her territory against Austrian., but her fate and freedom against any foe. To descend from such vast views of politics to smaller ones, I was reminded of our English mania to become a nation of sharpshooters by the proof. that the Swiss are already such. Bat I was really not prepared for the immense sacrifices they make to attain their end. Our government seemed to think it did much by offering ammunition and tar gets to voluntary rifle regiments. The programme of the Federal Tir, or national shooting matches, to take place at Zurich in July,has just been published, and stuck up in a very broad sheet. How much do you think the prizes for best shots amount to ? Very nearly to 250,0001.—i. e., 10,0001. There is an amount of annual prizes for the beat rifle shots ! At Zurich there will be this year one prize of 67,0001.—that is, 2,2801. There are also prizes of 40,0001. and of 20,0001. We spend awl equally considerable on the sport of training the swiftest hones. Could not the national generosity be better directed for the next few years ? Lord Derby evi dently sets himself forth as the Pitt who is to weather the storm, having first raised it, of a 25 years' war. Instead of giving 50,0001. to the race course, let him give it to the best rifle and cannon shots. I fear, however, that national games and pursuits are not things to be changed or created at a thought or a bidding. I merely mention what the Swiss do spend on the honour of being good shots. The affair of Perugia has set the Swiss in great flame and shame ; and well it may. I should not wonder if they passed a law depriving of the rights of citizenship all the Swim who enter foreign mili tary service without state permission. They say that of the regiments in the Pope'. service called Swiss regiments not one-third are Swim at present. They however feel the more the disgrace entailed on the national name. At the Name time the decree prohibiting foreign military service was hard upon the primitive cantons, whose sons have not the alertness of the southern Swiss to earn money in so many ways. The mountain sons of Tell could handle a halberd and little else, and their non-en gagement in foreign service has impoverished them. I have witnessed in this country a proof of how difficult even Victor Emmanuel will find it to make quiet politicians of the Italians. The Tessin, the Italian canton, is as agitated as any Irish county by rival factions. The government of the Tessin is in the hands of the liberal., who, though desirous not to damage the cause of religion, are still determined to keep the priests from being paramount in politics- As it is the election that decides the action of the government, of course the elections of the Tessin are lively and disputed. In one important locality at the last election the conservatives thought they would make a fight for it; and a leading champion of theirs descended into the arena, not with a long purse but a long pistol, which he discharged upon his opponents. The latter were not slow to reply with what weapons they had at hand, and half-a dozen people loot their fives in the scrimmage. The trial of this gentleman, which has just taken place at Lugano, has made the Swiss forget for the moment even Magenta and Peachier& But battle-fields and Italian politics I shall reserve for another letter.

(Signed) The Commandant of the Town and Fortrem, CHARLEN Baron URBAN, Lieutenant The following is the text of the telegraphic despatch, published by the Vienna Gazette, of which a summary has been already given : Vssoxo June 25. . . . The Austrian army permed the Mincio on the night of the 23rd, at four different points. The right wing occupied Pm zotoogo, &Serino, and ; the lett wing advanced on the 24th to Guidizzolo and Castelgaffredo, and forced back on every point the enemy who oppoatd it. Whilst the Austrian army was continuing its forward movement tower& the Chia*, the enemy, who had in their turn assumed the offensive with all their forces, brought so consider able a number of troops that at about ten in the morning the two principal armies Citme into collision. The 2nd Austrian corm forming the right wing under the • command of General Count &blink, defended vigorously until 2 o'clock the points occupied on the principal line ; and in. let corps, commanded by General Count Wimpffen, gained ground continually, on the kit, towards the Chian. About 3 o'clock, the French directed their principal attack against Solferino, and after a combat of several hones seized that position, although heroically defended Ly the bth corps d'arno4. _ _ _ - Immediately after the French advanced again and attacked Carriers*, which was also valiantly defended until evening by the l.t corps, supported by the 7th ; but eventually it was necessary to abandon that point to the French. Whilst the engagements were going on for the possession of Solis wino and Carries., the Bth corps advanced from Porzolowo on the extremity of the right wing and forced back the Pied montage troop' which It found babe.. it; but that movement could not contribute is a dentsive manner to enable us ta re join the position which we had lost in the centre. On the left wing the &d and 9th corps were lighting firmly, supported by the 11th. The cavalry of reserve, collected on this wing, executed several charges with great bravery, bat exceedingly heavy lasses and the circumstance that, on the left wing, the Ist army, in ocnsequence of sa enormous dis play of French troops, had been stopped in its attack against the lett wing of the aide., who, with the balk of their forces, ik were advancing on the centre from the neighbourhood of Volta, turned the Austrian army to retreat, which movement commenced at en advanced hour of the evening, in the midst of a tremendous storm. Yesterday, during the night, l'oizolongo, klozambano, Volta, and Goito were still occupied by the Austrian troops.
