THE assumption of the Sovereignty of India has entailed a solemn responsibility upon Great Britain. Unless the authority exercised over Hindostan is exercised to promote the happiness of its inhabi tants, our nation commits a crime of the deepest dye. It is not to be tolerated that the Legislature should accept or reject a measure for the future government of India solely with a view to the effect that its adoption or rejection may have on the balance of political factions in this country. Yet the retainers of Lord PALMERSTON, in the Press and in Parlia ment, avow with the most cynical effrontery that they urge the rejection of Lord DERBY'S India Bill, and the adoption of Lord PALMERSTON'S, with no other or more elevated view than to ensure the over throw of the present Ministers and the restoration of their predecessors to office. It may be doubted whether the public at large is likely to be much moved by the virulent denuncia tions that are harledagainst all who persist in de claring that they see little to choose between the DERBY and the PALmitzsTom Cabinets. It is pal pable to common sense that the Ratter Ministry is a Tory Ministry with Radical professions, and that the PALMERSTON Ministry was a Whig Ministry with Tory practices. There are many who would be well enough pleased to lend • helping band to upset the ibrmer, if they saw the slightest chance of their get ting anything better in its stead, but who do not think their trouble would be repaid by the simple substitution of Lord PALMER TON for Lord DERBY. It i• nut so much, perhaps, that the general public are even yet entirely disabused of their pre posterous belief in Laid P•ustasroN's Liberalism. It takes a great deal to convince JOHN BULL that any man for whom he entertains a liking is but • dexterous pretender. There is no doubt much about Lord PALMERSTON calculated to win the good will of the =effecting. More, perhaps, than any statesman of the day be has conquered his position by his own inherent ener gies, independent of accidents of birth and connexion. Then there it an off-hand dash about Lord PALMER STON, which confirms his hold on the admiration of Bnglishmen, who are particularly liable to be fascinated by any one who tells them, good humouredly, that he does not care a straw for their good opinion. It required all the insolence which Lord PALM ELSTON for some time persevered is lavishing upon the present House of Commons, to awaken in its members that spirit of self assertion which led to his fall. And his retest demeanour has been so judicious that his past offences are already well-nigh half forgotten and forgiven. If it were merely the reetorati .n of Lord PALMERSTON to power, it may be feared that all his sins against the honour of the country in its foreign relations, and against its most cherished preservatives of freedom in its domestic institutions, would not stand for a moment in the way ors vote of the House of Commons which might depose Lard palsy and re-instal Lord Psatuntroq in office,. Bat then comes the reflection that Lard Emmen/von would not return to Downingatreet alone. He would lead along with him, in long retinue, the unabashed CLANRICAILDR, the despot- Worshipping CLARENDON, the pertly impotent VELSON Semi, and the no less offensive though less prominent train of the OSBORNIES, the Lowe., and tho Witsoes. This reflection gives pause both to Parliament and the public when ever the passible restoration of Lord PALMERSTON to the head of the Treasury Board is mooted. The diboicsair• ex-Premier then amasses, in their appre hensive imaginations, somewhat the aspect of the exorcised demon, who returned, to find his lodgings swept and garnished, in the company of seven other Inane spirits worse than himself. And men say to themselves, that though it must be confessed the Dian Ministry is not a thing to be proud of, it is certainly no worse than a CLA REN DON CLA NRICAR.DI Cabinet. The ery of " PALMIRSTON to the rescue ° emereisse, therefore, no bewildering indent:e over their minds. They can devote themselves to the consideration of how they can ensure the adoption of the best Fallible form of government for India, un disturbed by any passionate longioge for the eleva tion of Lord P•LME11870!1 . 11 tail. In fact the public are rather amused than other wise with the effrontery of the attempt to hold up Lord PALMERATON and his fellows in office, as ths especial champions of Liberal principles. When the Ti.... appeals to the " Liberal party," the Liberal party recalls the taunting language in which that journal, before the commencement of the see sion, pooh-poohed the idea that any reform of oar representative system was wished for by the nation. They recall the disparaging epithets with which the principle of popular election, in the case of the Council for India, her been systematically assailed in the columns of the Times. It is too late for Mr. THOMAS Duct-name to make a pother about the posthumous publication of a Reform Bill, which he would per suade its the late Cabinet had prepared before its demise. All the waters of the Thames cannot wash out from the hands of the PAL/ macros Cabinet the vile stains of complicity with the Neapolitan Gleretll - in the nine months' torture of the two English engineers captured on board the Cagliari. All the perfumes of Arabia cannot sweeten the seals i putation of the men who pusillanimously truckled to the dictation of the WALEWBIII despatch. This nation is pervaded by an earned conviction that if a reliable Liberal Cabinet could be formed there is a Liberal majority in the country that would gladly rally around it ; and by an equally earnest wish to see such a Cabinet constructed, Bat deo country has been taught by sad experlrooe that something more than a mere assemblage of uomins4 Liberals is required to form a Cabinet that my serve as the nucleus of a powerful Liberal party,' and the country will not badge one inch to gO through the sad and degrading mockery of mating up a rotten and rickety CLASEN DON CLANsicLium Cabinet as a substitute for what is wanted. The Liberal majority of the nation, in short, can and will " bide their time." They are not afraid of anything the Deasy Government can do. They know that their own unorgaaised strength, even without leaders, though power less to attain new privileges, is all-powerful to prevent any serious encroachment upon those they already peems. They are patiently but warily canvassing the claims and qualifications of all our public men. They are waiting till time and amen stances Woe any existing obstacles in the way of a combination among statesmen in whose principles and aims there is no essential discrepancy. They are reminding each other of the administrative abilities of a Gruffest, and the intelligent industry of a HEILBLIT or a NEWCASTLE ; they are pointing to the rapidly ripening intellect and hereditary energy of a STANLEY ; they are asking why a GIBSON, or a BIIOIT, or many another independent Liberal might not co-operate with men like these. Nay, more, all eyes are turning slowly but certainly in the direction of the one, the only living statesman whose well-earned position in the political world points him oat as the man whose claims to be the leader of such a combination no ens scald or would contest. We have never been flatterers of Lord lonE RUSSELL. We have frankly and freely opposed him when we thought he ought to be opposed; we have as frankly and freely fought his battle when we thought him unfairly assailed. Members of a younger generation, looking at public affairs from a different standing-place on the social scale, our political views nacre ' sexily differ on some points from those which Lord JOHN conscientiously entertains. But political cooperation necessarily implies reciprocal comeli ness. Though Lord JOHN may not be prepared to advance so rapidly or so far as we could wish, we know that he is sincerely bent upon advancing ; and what is perhaps at the present crisis yet more to the impose, we know that he will not relinquish one iota of those liberties we already enjoy ; that he has inscribed on his political banner the motto of HAIITDEN,—" Vestigia Rolla retrorram." It is alleged by some of his ill-willers that Lord Jute's Whiggery is of a somewhat narrow and antiquated cast. Be it so : the consistent tenour of a long and active life proves at least this, that he has faith in his own principles—a rare merit among modern statesmen. Therefore it is that—es confi dently as one may speak of anything in the future— we believe that Lord JOHN is destined to be the rallying point of English Liberals. Some time may yet elapse before the event makes good our words, but we have not the shadow of a doubt that it will tie is. The same malignant and senseless outcry— that Lord JOHN is the Marplot of the great Liberal party—was raised against the late Earl GREY when he stood aloof from the coalition of the Whip and Canningites ; sod yet Earl GREY was subsequently the leader under whom the Reformers triumphed in 11131-2. When Lord RHIN RUSSELL threw himself upon the citizens of London—alone, unaided—the mere sound of his voice dispelled in a moment the cobweb falsehoods regarding him that had been woven so industriously and perseveringly. And so it will be when the time comes for him to summon around him the elite of our living statesmen, and the younger hopes of the Liberal party, to form a strong administration on free and constitutional principles. ebt Court.

PARIS WIDSZSDAT Evart:to. The Emperor has left Paris to-day for his chtitean, which he lately purchased at La Moth* Heuvron, in the Bologna. This journey is said to be taken incognito, but this expression conveys no definite meaning in Francs. His Majesty returns to Paris to-morrow evening. Previous to his departure he presided at a Council of Ministers. The Count and Countess de Morny yesterday visited the Pre Catelan, and breakfasted there. The three government candidates for the vacant seats for Paris are definitively General Perrot, of the National Guard, M. Eck, the ironfounder, and M. Perret, late mayor of the Bth arrondissement The latter gentleman, a government member of 1852, was thrown out at the last election. He is a man of some talent, and more than once assumed an independent attitude, and voted against the govern ment on secondary questions. The Emperor having lately decided not to recommend to the electors any person holding the office of mayor, M. Perret, who wishes to sit in the house, lately resigned his mayoralty, and would have stood as an independent candidate; the government has now adopted him. Concerning the arrangements of the opposition, all is silent as the grave. Saturday is the last day allowed by law for making the preliminary oath without which, according to a recent act of the legislature, no candidate can be eligible. Although abstention has been talked of, I have no doubt that by Saturday three democratic candidates will be produced ; and unless unprece dented means of intimidation should be devised, there is every probability that they will all be elected. The Prease of this evening speaks of the elections in a tone worthy of the traditions bequeathed to that journal by Girardin, Neftlzer, and Peyrat. Re plying to the Patric, which last night complained that at the former elections the Sieele, the Freres, and the De6als had combined to support demagogic candidates, it adds :—" As long u factions and parties stand in revolt against the law, government mast maintain a policy of resistance. When fac tions shall have been destroyed and parties sub jected ; when there shall exist in France, as in Eng land, only one constitution and one dynasty; when political struggles shall have for object to attain reforms and not to provoke revolutions, then will the policy of resistance have seen its day, while government will be enabled, without danger, to open a greater field to liberty." M. Gueroult (the present editor of the Press) says: To ask that elections shall be suffered to take place with out say order of the day, without any orecert between electors sad journal., without say laterals's* of corns paeans, between Paris and the departments, is simply to propose a chimers; it would be better to call at once for the abolltks of elections. It is a sale trick to remised honour able *presents, well known for their lo►e of order, ea being foressiore of troubles and pillars of demagogy. In short, to propene le *dicers t h e reign of liberty until there thin be so weir is Frame, is to tarn 4 a Milieu drab. ?mos LM Napa. too only disarm to ban arty kraus* political opinions. Whatever may be the ultimate tendencies of her political development, she will always cheerfully swept say government which shall satisfy in nearly equal measure the requirement/1 of order sad *tidy. If the present govern ment counts among its adversities some of the very men who have more than others prated by the re-establishment of oilier, the reason is that everybody is agreed in the opinion that there is not liberty enough ; the Petra itself does not deny that liberty is doled out with great parsimony. To wait before giving more liberty for a period when there shall be no parties in France—is it not to say to the men who are in opposition, measly because they ban not liberty enough, that they shall have more whenever they think they have enough; In other words, that they shall have what they want as soon as they declare that they want nothing ? The Attrio thinks that adhesion to the empire is the road to liberty. We believe for our parts, that liberty would for very many persons be the condition upon which they would adhere. It is for the government to decide which of thew two routes is most likely to lead to the desired end. The Bourse was a shade firmer than yesterday. The Rente, for account, after having been quoted at 69fr. 6.5 c., left off at yesterday's price, 69fr. 46c. For cash the last price was the same, being a rise of Sc. Mobilier rose 6fr. 25c. The .

NAPLES, APRIL 10. use has just 2ndeecbtnpof ti in th m e ee Sa n le g rn o o f t ell he Grand layer f A solemn Criminal Court of Salerno was called for last Wednesday. The prisoners were taken down at 8 o'clock in the morning, and after a delay of seven hours for the convenience of one of the judges, the court proceeded to business already cut and dried for them, and deliberated and decided in half an hour that Park, like Watt, should be struck off the indict ment. "Poor fellow!" His Majesty was touched with companion for his sufferings, and was dying to show another subject of her Britannic Majesty a proof of his deference. Call the court together— do all the legal formalities without delay. The the result is telegraphed up to Naples, and forth with out comes a ministerial rescript signed by M. iniati, Minister of Grace and Justice, giving the fruits of the yearnings of his Majesty of the Two Sicilies. Here they are : " RESCRIPT. " His Majesty, our lord, having been informed that the English engineer, Mr. Park, is in the English Hospital in this capital, and that up to this time no certain and secure opinion has been given regarding his health, the medical men giving certi ficates of his general good state—having been in formed too that the Grand Special Court of Salerno have deliberated that the case in which Park is implicated should be continued for all the others, whose cause was admitted independently of the said engineer, who, for the p t, has been eliminated' from the indictment, which deliberation has already been put in execution : His Majesty, wishing to give a new proof of deference towards a subject of her Britan nic Majesty, has condescended to permit Park to return to England, in order that in his own country, in case of need, he may not want the care and assistance of his friends which, in actual circum stances, might be necessary. In the royal name I communicate to you this sovereign determination for your use and governance, and for its full accom plishment. " PIXIATI. " Naples, April 8."

EMIGRATION OF GERMANS TO THE CAPE COLONY. HAMBURG, Aram 12. The first batch of German emigrants for the Cape of Good Hope, all Prussians, and numbering 218 souls, arrived here yesterday by tho Berlin rail road from Stargerd, in Pomerania. They do not appear to have very clear notions of their title to the land on which they are to be located at the Cape. Their notion is that it belongs to Prince Frederick William of Primal*, who received it from the Queen as part of his wife's dowry, and they say that all their equipments and passage-money are paid by his royal highness. A vessel has been chartered to convey them to their destination, and is being fitted up for their accommodation. A second body of German emigmnta for the south of Africa is expected to arrive here next week. They will be rather more numerous, and come from the Electorate of Hesse•Cassel. Another vessel has been engaged for the voyage, and is now fitting out for their reception.

Eliza Audio wee re-called, and cross-examined by He Hawkins—l don't know the name of my husband's em. ployer where he worked as an envelope-maker. After he left that service he had nothing to do, and I west to my friends at Nottingham. My husband stayed behind in Lon don, bat I don't know when he lived. I stayed at Notting. ham for eighteen months, and during that time he used to come and visit me. I also generally heard from him three or four times a week. I believed he lived in Rupert-street, but I don't know how he got his living. He never told me what his occupation was; and when I Naked him how he got his living he explained "as well as he could." I never knew how he got his living. He was an Italian refugee, believe he came from Beiluno. When I first knew him he was twenty-two or three years of age, but I knew nothing of his previous history. After I had b.en at Nottingham about five months he cams down there and stayed for two months He did not do any work, but he had five pounds when ha came. This money was given to him by some gentlemen in London. I don't know what the money was given to him for. I worked at the trade while I was at Nottingham, and my husband need to help me and we lived together. After we had bees at Nottingham some time my husband followed the occupation of teacher of languages. When he had no pupils, he went back to London, and I re mained at Nottingham for some time, and then went to live with my mother at Godalming. My husband came to see me there, and staid • month, and then we went to live at Batsman's-buildings. This was about three weeks before last Christmas. My husband had • good many foreign te qnsintanoss, and some of them used to give hint money. I don't know that the money came from any charitable society. I am not aware that there is a society for relieving foreigners in distress. A countess gave us some money in London, and some gentlemen at Nottingham also gave us money. I never saw M. Orsini or Pierri. My husband was a good deal in the habit of being away from home. The room we occupied in Basemen's-buildings was on the third floor. The bell of the house was rung differently for the different lodgers. For the first door It was only rung sues, and for me it was rung twice. I first saw Dr. Bernard after Christmas. It might be about a week or a fortnight afterwards. I told him myself that I was in great distress, and he gave me two shillings. My husband wrote to me mos from Paris. I don't remember when Dr. Bernard first gays me ten shillings, but I am sore that he gave me that sum. I read very little, and I understand a little Hellen. I might be able to understand a conversa tion carried on in Italian. I was in Nottingham when I was first applied to in tobacco to this matter. I went down to Nottingham on the Tuesday after the 14th, and Mr. Smith, the detective Aber, came and fetched me, took me to the Bedford Hotel. where I and my baby have stayed ever since, except the period when I was at Paris, about three weeks. All my expenses have been paid by the police, and I have also been supplied with clothes end pocket-messy. I have bees visited by Mr. Smith and Mr. Saunders while at the Bedford Hotel. I know Rogers, but I cannot say whether he called upon me at the Bedford Hotel before I went to Paris. I cannot recollect whether Rogers came to see me or not. I believe now that Rogers did come with the other detectives to me me at the Bedford Hotel. The four detectives all came to- gether to me me one Saturday night. They stayed with me about half an hour. They came separately, but they were all with me at the same time. I cannot say whether they remained with me an hour or two. It might be an hone, but I had no clock. I cannot say whether all four deter time were not with me on the next day, but three of them did come. I don't recollect that Smith came. The first week after I came to London they used to visit me every day. I never gave them any written statement. The teepees of my hus band were all signed at Nottingham. My mother is ea s ? with me at the Bedford Hotel, and an one expenses are by the police. When I went to Paris, Saunders, the o accompanied me, and he took me to an English hotel, said I stayed there with Eliza Chesney. My husband was tried after I had left Paris. All the ovum of my journey M Paris were paid by the police. I saw my husband in Paris, but I was not examined by any of the French police authori ties. I 'apposed I was taken to Paris to see my husband is prism. I saw several gentleman in the prison, but they Me not put any questions to me. I saw my husband twine before his trial, and I have been to Paris to see him Men I was not allowed to have any private conversation with ny Mutated. I was taken to the Bedford Hotel after I re. fund from Paris, and all my expenses were paid se before. Mr. Saunders took me over to Puts whet I went the second time. We were at the same English UK and all my expenses as on the previous omission were pa by the police. I visited my husband in prison twice on the occasion of my second visit to Paris, but I us net allowed to have any private conversation with bit. I believed that my husband hod written to ask for me to be allowed to me bins again. I knew at this time that my bm band's life had been spared. I had been told so before I went to Paris a second time. My only object in going to Paris, I believe, was to see my husband. 1 don't know why I remained there a week. I have only had very little massy given to me by the police, and I have had none dazing the past week. Re-examined by the Attorney-General—l knowe s l a g other object of my going to Paris except to me and ' my husband. The first time I went I was of course mei annions to see as much of my husband u I oauld. After Of return I expressed a wish to see him again. I petitioned the Empress to sure his life. A week after I had petitioned be Majesty, I heard that his life would be spared. I had se , communication with the police until after I had heard that II great many people had been killed at Paris.
