It is thew d the petestioniste to represeut di fromial sail dimesitent et our cohesive as arising the adeptin se a free-trade policy. To do this they are theab to ore tacitly the existence of any but N oah Anserioaa and West Indian groups of colonies . With the g rievances of whidi the rest complain Tres trade has not the remotest connexion. The Australian sob:miss again and again petitioned to be re lined from the very alight mosission of oar restrictive torero to which they were subjected before the vic tory of fres-trade was acbieved. Free-trade to an extent yet unknown even here bas been the law of due its Itet establiahment.

'Dm free teases bare and in the colonies will unitedly their battle against the fallacies of the protec- If any danger threaten from the free trade may, it ii owing to the fragments of the tattles 'yawn which have yet to be abrogated. The emancipates of the slaves in the West Indies, and the wealth sad intelligence of many among the black and mimed clines there, render the resuoitation of slavery impassible. Yet these colonies while exposed Is the competition of free trade in their produce, have bun denied free trade in labour. In like man the retention of the monopoly of the seareng trade, in deference to local interests is Great Britain, operates gr . eally to the prejudice dow North American colonies, by placing them at I a disadvantage in their trading inters inn with the , Vatted States, and through the United States with this sundry. It is more, not less, free trade that is mania to relieve oar American colonies, and assuage their exasperation. Bat the most irritating griev ances of which these colonies complain are of quite a diliment nature. It is of the meddling of the imperial gemument in their local affairs; of the mismanage ment onneelneut upon the interterenee of distant and neeemesily ill-informed legislators and administrators; et the enormous expense entailed upon them by griming salaries and establishments to the notions of eon place-hunting aristocracy, instead of the circum stances of the colonies. To the resistance offered to judicious retrenchment in Jamaica and Guiana i to the refuel of responsible local government in Trinidad sal - Guiana; to the annoyance and expense en- Idled upon Canada by tranderring the test of 1 legislature and government within a few years from Tomato and Quebec to Kisgston, thence le Iteallreal, and thence back to Toronto, with , the prospect of a subsequent move to Quebec ; to two - and similar specimens of wilful and wayward bugling, co ntumely, and extravagance are in reality owing the discontents and disturbances in these colonies. Not a mail arrives but brings some new illus tration of the folly of attempting to carry on colonial government in Downing-street. Downing street has lately . given Guiana a Reform Bill ; the journals received yesterday inform us that this precious piece of legislature has diminished the aggregate midi toency of the colony by no less than 200. And this system of Colonial-office mis-government is making the people of the mother country as kick of the colonies as the colonies are of the mother country. Grants to clergymen and others are made out of the imperial exchequer, in the vain hope that the colonists will thus be bikini to cease from their well-founded complaints; and fleets and armies are maintained in the colonies not to defend them from foreign aggression, but to keep them in subjection to England. Against this sur-addition to his excessive burdens, Joie( Betas wrath has of late years been steadily growing. Tin main grievances of the Cape and the Austra lien colonies have till of late been mainly the same as those d the American, uncomplicated by the question of free trade. There, too, local re sponsible government has been refused as long es it could possibly be withheld, or at the bet hour an illusory sham appearance of respon sible local government his been granted instead of the reality. The prejudicial reaction of this strikingly exemplified at the Cape, than per haps, with the exception of Canada, any other colony. We have of late had two millions to pay for a Kaffir war; and that Kaffir war would never have existed bad not the hands of the colonists been systematically tied up from self-defence. The b or der marauders among the Kann carried on a per petual system of petty picking and stealing, knowing that the home government could not repress it and would not allow the colonists to do so ; and at list, emboldened by impunity, they poured into the colony in force. The war was occasioned by the impolicy of the home government, and its expenses were enormously increased by the desultory opera tions and enormous jobbing which took place under its lax system of administration. To all the confusion has been added the convict quarrel. With res pec t to more remote settlements, Sir STAMFORD RcirLES laid down the right principle— " Our object is commercial, not lemlorial ex tension." With this view Singapore was founded, and had it been adhered to, we should hare escaped the subsequent ex heirs and b!cinders of our policy in these regions.

It won't do , therefore, to talk of a bread-tax for revenue. It used to be said—weir said at that very county meeting at Huntingdon to whichwe have referred—that if we repealed the sem laws, we would beggar the exchequer and rob the fundholdas. Now we have free trade and a rides exchequer, and the fandholders at all events Isom to have no hare, for the fonds are higher now than they were when that meeting was held, and we were nadir all the blemisgs of the corn laws and general pee tuition. There is no need therefore for a breed tax for revenue. And all Ettenthis country with any power or any sense tor out of it , represent atives or thou w chows them, ministers in °Mos or eat of dike, have long since made up their minds that taxes for anything else than revues are robberies of the great mass of the people for the special profit of a few; and no such tax—no tax on bread or anything else for protection—will ever be tolerated in this country again. The people have bad enough of such impositions, industry enough of such hardens. The present concern of the nation is to retrench expenditure and remit taxes. Let farmers help the move, and they may have the five millions of malt and hop duties remitted to them ; and let them demand from the landlord either improvement of the land or lower rents, and in any caw leases and protection from baviag their crops devoured by game. Let them set to work in earnest to meet foreign com petition,as manufacturers have long since met it, by increased and more econo mic production. No one pretends that the lands of England grow all the food for men or beast, or feed or fatten all the beasts they might do. The English farmer has the best market in the world at his own doors, and if he lets the foreigner, coming from a distance by land and Neosho it from him, it can only be because he has rested so long upon protection, and allowed himself to be so long deluded into the belief that par liament could help him, that be bu become inferior to all other Englishmen, and lost the power to help himself. It may suit landlords , agents, and auctioneers well enough to turn away the attention of farmers from leases and improvements, from lowered rents and game laws, to rend them on the false scent of getting back protection; but it is the farmer's interest to understand that protection is an abolished nuisance— tree trade a Axed fact—and that he and his landlord must come to terms, under the conviction that there can never again be a bread tax. HurrnioDos [Mr. CORMS was wont to may) was the last pleas in England that burnt old women for witches, and from the direct descendants of each people there ere no very great things to be expected ; as the lathers were the - last to take women to the stake fa talking to the devil , bewitching people's pigs, cows, and children, and flying across the moon on broomsticks—it is not to be wondered at that the present men should cling closest to the corn laws, and est up most determinately all the sophisms of 160 6 •1 001 Y• We very well remember the great county meeting of the Anti-Corn Lew League in Huntingdon. The decimatioa carried round by landlords and land agents, and auctioneers, and signed and marked by some 1,800 farmers and labourers, by way of prepa ration for the meeting, and before they had heard one weed upon the 'abject, or knew anything shoat it, pledging themselves to vote against free trade. We remember, too, the sharp look out kept from the pro tectionist platform upon the crowd of farmers, and how if one moved away, he was forth with ran after and brought back by some one of a set of men posted round like shepherd dogs to keep the flock packed close together. It WAS vain to reason with men so pledged, and watched, and marked. A goodly number did vote against the corn laws ; a great many never raised their bands cue way or the other ; tut the majority of the real far mers present had no freedom, dare not express any opinion of their own, sad hence paid mall attention and learned little from what was said. It is, therefore, not matter for surprise that Earl Frravritutu should find there some farmers again gathered under the eye of these same attorneys and land 'gents, to demand protection back, without exactly knowing what they mean by it. Some w ould have the sliding scale of 1813, which landed them in such dire distress in 1821-27; some the slide of 182% which brought the miseries of 1834-35 ; others the lest amended short-lived scale of 1842, with which it was impossible to face the potato rot and Irish famine that set in in 1841: , ; and a few would like what they called "the government jobbing trade," a perpe tual potato rot aid famine, which gave them 100 s. a quarter in 1847.

'r mill tary had it all to themselves, as very few people attended the ceremony. The position of the Pope stands thus. The French general, who is armed with diplomatic as well as military power, still lingers in Naples to persuade his Holiness to return to Rome. The Pope refuses to do so unless be is promised full power. I am informed Cardinals Antonelli and LumWsdni are highly indignant, whilst Pius IX. is anxious to throw himself into the arms of France. The Gaeta cams: rills is still working hard at the President, and if they lose the paw it is not for want of exertion. The Spanish troops have left the Roman states, that ,is to say, es many as the steamers would ecoommodate, and I believe the remainder will be shipped off as soon as 'possible. The Pope, therefore, must return protected by French soldiers, and have the tears and doubts of the Jesuits. TURIN. OPENING OF THE CHAMBERS, SPEECH OF THE KING. At the opening of the Chamber of Turin, on the 20th inst., the King in person addressed th e parlia ment in the following terms : ILT LORDS AND GENTLEMEN. KENBZU OP THE SENATE AND Csawnaa or Dsrirriss : The cameo which Induced me to dissolve the parliament, and atter an appeal to the country bring me hem at present to convoke another. cannot protium any discomfort in our minds. They mature ruin the only school at which we can learn what is indispensable in political life—that of experience. They have been the *maim of a noble example of trust and concord between the people and its sovereign. They have furnished the country an opportunity of proving that it is capable of supporting its political order, and that it is deserving of the liberties it possess,. Our situation, which I termed serious four months ago, is not much altered. Our relations with friendly pmen have become more facile than they were heretofore; and our national credit has improved, yet the most important questions, both into and exterior, ere still pending. Such a situation of uncertainty would, if it were to last, deprive us of all reputation abroad, end would disgust the nation at home with those institutions which, while promis ing a good salamis . ration of public caffein and progress,would on the contrary have arrested the latter, and have thrown the former into disorder and confusion. It is for you to prevent those fatal ormarqueues. There rites within my breast a renewed and stronger trust in the future fate of our country and of our inadtations. Tie else tors have listened to my voice. They eine let large numbers to the elections. lam happy, on this solemn occasion, to be able to testify my gratitude to them. The advantage that they have thereby produced for the public weal I consider as I if done to myself, and it h also more grateful to my fitellap, as I em the more heedful of the public good than my own. It is needless to enter upon the questions that on amount et their urgency require an immediate solution. They are set ficiently known to you. It only remains, therefore, for me to recommend to your predawn their speedy settlement.

It has thus narrated often in &powerful ivy, a great many thingathat most people knew before, and it has also stated some things of GERMANY. Oar Berlin correspondent writes Dsc. 21. The conservative party are continuing their prepa rations for the Erfurt elections. The faction he ad ed by Count Arnim, a specimen cf whose programme I forwarded yesterday, declare that the chief point of the German question is the power and independence of Prussia; it was Prussia's strength which Us saved Germany, and therefore its strength must be pre served. The more liberal party is re) owed et this open declaration of their opponent', and will in con sequence be compelled to be more precise in the composition of their own programme, than might otherwise have been the case. Meanwhile they are exhibiting great activity. Their committee have opened communications with the central cow:Litt.e in the province of Silesia, and to-day a personal con ' trance is to take place at Rit sa, a station on the Dres den railway, between several of its members and the leaders of the German party in the Saxon province. I mentioned in a former letter that several reports were in circulation to the effect—that in case of the intervention of Austria in Saxony, Prussia would also interfere in accordance with the treaty of the 26th May. These repor's are in part confirmed, though the intervention of Prussia will take place in a differ ent manner, a convention has been agreed to between Austria and Prussia, that in case of an outbreak in Saxony the government of that country "hall apply for the assistance and decision of the Interim. On the 20th inst. the Turin Chambers were opened by the King, Victor Emmanuel, in person. We extract the following from the German papers: Bzxi.nt, Dac. 22.—The espousals of her Royal Highness the Princes' Charlotte, daughter of Prince Albert of Prussia sad Princess Mary Anne of the Netherlands, to the hereditary Prince of Saxe Meiniagen, will be celebrated at Charlottenburg during Christmas week. The marriage has rewired the sanction of the Hieg, of her Royal High sees's father, and of her mother, the Princes' Mary Anne, who has been travelling about since her separation from her husband. The Princess Charlotte briegs her husbutd two millions of dollars, which came to her from her mother's side. NNW CUSTOM-HOUSE IN LIMERICK. —The Com missions of Customs an in treaty with the directors of the Bask of Ireland, as mergers% of the Mountkennett mills, near the Dublin Steam Company's premixes, for the purchase of them ma a site for the erection of a maw Custom-house for this ion, and plans have been this week prepared by Mr. John Fogarty, and forwarded to the board, in Medea to the pleat CONSPIRACY IN MOSCOW. The liambtarg Romig/kale of the 19th December, st received, states that intelligen ce had reached the Polish frontier, on the 15th, to the effect that a widely-ramified conspiracy, which had its centre in Moscow, and the aim of which was to overthrow the wessat Russian dynasty, bad just been brought to light. Parties in St. Petersburg were at the head of the conspiracy, of which it was stated several mem bers of the senate were also cognizant. From inter cepted papers it appears that on the next celebration of the (Russian) New Year's-day, an attempt was to have been made upon the person of the Emperor. The discovery has caused the more anxiety to the government from the fact that all the conspirators, who have as yet been discovered, belong to the upper ranks and to the national proprietary body. The Poles seem not to have forgotten the disastrous results which have always fol lowed their mixing themegves up with any political movement : on this acesunt it was that the govern ment lately reduced to a mach smaller number the army corps which have for some time past garrisoned Poland, and it is thought that the recent withdrawal of the guards corps from that country has been caused by apprehensions of the conspiracy just dis covered. A very peremptory ukase has made its appearance, requiring all Russian subjects who are at present in foreign countries to return as quickly as possible to their homes, and threatening to confiscate the satire property of all those who fail to comply Iwith title injunction. FRANCE. PARIS, Monne:, 11 N. The journals to-day are nemesia's.

It appears that the two females retired to rest at the usual hoar on Sunday night. A See had been made it the ly d.room during the day, sad the girls, on retiring to rest, had in some way or other stopped the proper volatile , tion, so that the smoke could not attend. The servants not I rising at the usual time, and no &newt? being returned when they were called to, the door was forced open. One of tke unfortunate women, it was found, had been dead some time ' and was cold. The other, it could be perceived, still breathed.

Atli fume method from oar correspondent the fol. bowies letter relating to the important telegraphic dispatch gives yesterday : VIENNA. Dec. 20. The courier who Omni in last night twos Semlia brought intelligent* which has thrown the govern neat into great tation. A rebellion on the moot formidable Boole bu broken out among the Serviette. Synaia, Slovenia, and the military boundaries are op in ar ms against . the Austrian goyernment. The Slavonian Dad Emma boandarrripments have re volted, and raised the cordon of the Turkish frontier, so that their rear Is fully seamed. From the brethren of trek race in Turkey they are assured beforehand of all support--a circumstance which will compli cate the relations already sniliciently tpireases betweet! Austria and the Porte. Tbe bound ary-regiments, which have revolted,. are among the bravest and hardiest soldiers us the Me trian service . The insurgents number about 80,000, of which the greater part are regular troops, with numerous artillery. The ground of their rising is resistance to the decree of Nov. 18, organising the tooiscodealufft.

The Canada arrived at Liverpool yesterday, as announced in that day's Express, having sailed from New York on the 12th inst., and called at Halifax on the lath. The Canada also brings dates 'from San Francisco to the 2nd ult.; Panama, 22nd alt. ; Magic*, 28th ult. ; Kingston (Jamaica), 30th alt. Mr. Judd, minister to the King of the Sandwich Islands, arrived at New York on the 7th inst. Mr. I Judd was a passenger on board the Canada, and brings with him the two princes of Hawaii. This visit to Europe is not only for the purpose of having the young princes educated, but to negotiate, pro bably, with England and France, new treaties of amity and vommerce. After the recent high-handed I course of the French admiral at the islands, such a repetition of the late outrag e of the French, and treaties are rendered absolutely necessary, to prevent perhaps more serious consequences than have followed the seizure of the forts at Honolulu. The reports from California are encouraging, the gold was still plentiful, and those who were able to stand the fatigues of digging it got fairly rewarded for their exertions. The health of the people at the mines of California was generally good; but slignt attacks of dysentery prevented many from digging. 'the average amount of gold dug out by the miners is computed to be about ten dollars per day. The number of arrivals from Europe and the United States was progressing with much spirit. There were at least one hundred British vessels in the harbour of San Francisco on the Ist November. The town of San Francisco numbered in population at least 30,000, and the number of persons at the mines is confidently set down at 80,000 persons. By the Canada we have recent news from Niece -1 rains : subjoined is the New York Herald's version of recent events there : The seizure of the islands and sea coast of Honduras and Sea Salvador, by the British war steamers, u nder the autho rity sad in concert with the British charge d'affairee to Cen tral America, Mr. Frederick Chatfield, are among the most 11, high-handed and outrageous acts of aggression since th' *am affair in China. The little states of Central Amsrle have been inveigled into debt by British agents; and now, deeddless at the instigation of their government, and with the erratum of her Majesty's steamers, they pounce down apes their victims, and liy claim to their country, in default of payment, at an hour's notice, under the guns of a steamer. If the rights and independence of Central Ame r* however, were only involved in these shanghai proceedings, they might, probably, be paved over by ow uses -loving and neutrality cabinet, as something in which there would 'be no cession to interfere. But our own rights and interests are directly involved. The 'azure of the ' island of Tigre, by . the commander of the steamer Gorgon, in so-operation with Mr. Chatfield, is an outrage which cannot well be overlooked. That island, by a treaty with Honduras, concluded through the agency of Mr. Squier, oar chargé, was ceded to the United States, and possession taken of it under the Gaited States Bag. The island has been invaded—the flag torn down—and possession taken by the force et a war steamer, in the name of Queen Victoria. • very natural excitement has been created by these outrages in Honduras and San Salvador, and they were rapidly mustering their forces for war. Such is the present posture of affairs in Central America. Whether they will contribute or not to the •• pacific arrangement" spoken of by the London Times, on the Mosquito question , between Sir Henry Bulwer and Kr. Clayton, remains to be seen. In the meantime a war-steamer or two might be serviceable on both sides of the Isthmus If the rights of our citizens and of Central America are to be sustained, there should be no delay in making the proper inquiry into this basilica in the proper form. Whether the i treat for the island of Tigre was authorised or un authorised, and whether it may be disapproved or rejected by Mr. C layton, Mr. Chatfield should be driven oft the island, as the B ret step necessaryy to • " pac ific arrangement." Mr. 'Clayton was a perfect war-horse n the case of the tobacco boxes. Now we shall see whether it was all smoke. Something must be done. We are still without the message of the American President. The House of Assembly up to the date of the latest advice' had been unable to organise itself or elect a speaker. Congress met on the 3d inst., and an attempt at organisation was made by the house endeavouring to elect a speaker. The balloting' continued during the whole week, and up to Monday night of the present week, the latest accounts received, thirty-two ballet jogs had then taken place, with no nearer approach to the object in view than when the house first met. There was much changing of candidates during the first week, Messrs. Winthrop (whig), and Cobb (dens.), being the leading candidates. At the close of the week Mr. Cobb declined; and, on Monday, Mr. Potter appeared as the leading democratic candidate, which position he retained throughout the two first balloting' ' but gave way to Mr. Brown, of Indiana, on the third ballot. The Senate met regularly at the usual hours, but u the house was unable to effect an organisation, were compelled to adjourn without transacting any business. The New York Herald assures its readers that the President's message will ba "brief, not covering over five columns of the Herald." The same paptr gives an anticipation of its contents in these words: There is a great deal of curiosity afloat in reference to the President's message, and a good deal of expectation that it may leak out, through some spigot cr bung-here of the cabi net, before the house is organised. So Jar as it has been foreshadowed, through one channel or another, it is supposed that the President will fully expl ain his views and position on the slavery question ; and from what we learn from Washington, his opinions will coincide with those of the supreme bench, as far as they have been disclosed on this subject. And upon this tremendous and exciting question it becomes a matter of exceeding interest to know how tar the views of the President will go to ad• minister to the extreme prejudicesof the north or south It is evident, however, that (funeral Taylor is in f of a compromise, and that, as far as understood, it will be differ ent, in some respects, from say of the compromises which have yet been suggested. It is likely that the message, therefore, on this subject, will give but little satisfaction to the extra, agitators of either section of the union. General Taylor himself is cool and moderate in his opinions; and, from his natural sound sense, sagacity, and discretion, we may expect from him something different from the 'ultras= and imprac. Liable expedients of his cabinet counsellors. At such a crisis as this—when this ugly and knotty qaestion of dis cord has assumed its worst csmplezion—which has split up ed party associations—and which ties up the hands of Celt pets to the point of disorganisation—nothing could be more desirable than each recommendations as would unite the moderate men of all parties, upon some satisfactory basis, for the settlement of the dispute. Some such recommendations neat suing in this result. Meantime, it is we expect from General Taylor—some suggestions of sound of little policy, conservative and just, which will produce a move meat usiegP°ltanotedvenlibmi7thetnbatet, the home should elect somebody for speaker, so that the mell ' 240 w be brought out, and the public anxiety and curl mrmomiend7tni.itevulldTP°.bneWofthohareetricmnsuaYbiposetabelicth.yeisvioc:fwanaPthapivivel7 for the last nine months, as disclosed by the acts and correspondence of Mr. Clayton, has been a very furry kind of policy, without possessing any very striking points of importance, and cannot leave say indelible mark on the foreign history of the country. The fracas of Mr. Clayton with Franc, was more a faros than a dignified drum, exciting the ridicule of one Witter country, a n d t u tesomilication of the other.

Over them points the p ens id e nt may pass smoothly sad softly, without committing himself one way or the other. The Indian troubles in the Canadian districts on Lake Superior are saidto be over. A telegraphic despatch, transmitted by our agents from Washington to 'Halifax on the day the steamer touched at the last mentioned place, informs as that at the forty-first ballot for speaker, which bade jg taken place, there were 2 9 candidate. ; Winthropl a d 50 votes.

By the North American steam-packet we have dates from Jamaica to the 30th of November—nira days later than those received yesterday rid South. ampton, and published in yesterday's Express: The moat important items by these later dates are as fellows: The Jamaica council have " ordered, nemine contra. dicente,that his Exeellanoy the Governor be redeemed to direct her Majesty's Attorney-General to prosecute the editor of the Colonial Standard for gross contempt of the dignity of the council in general, and cf the Hon. Alex Andre Bravo in particular." The Kingston journa's are discussing the propriety of forming a recirocity treaty with the Uni , ed States similar to that w hich Canada proposed. The Colonial Standard of the 30th November, says on this subject: " Why, then, not make an effort for Jamaica iatbs same direction? It is not yet too late, advanced es the session is. Let an agent, competent to the duty, I be appointed to visit \Vashington to negotiate subs treaty as that in which Canada is engaged. The ex' Ipanee would not be great. and whatever it might bei R would be trifling in comparison to the importauee dthe object to be gained." The Barbados papers mention that although lio• vember had been perfectly dry, scarcely a shower d min having fallen, there was no great fear that the agricultural condi ion of the island would thereby be materially affected. It was hoped the month would not end as it had commenced. " S co rching am: sll i ° with no rain in the \Vest Indies, is (the M er cury ob' serves) a serious subject for consideration, and Ird pray earnestly, and with sincerity, that the seen able showers of this season may descend nixie , mature the products of our fertile soil.
