PUBLIC opinions, or any portion of public opinion, are rarely dangerous or even powerful as Magas they are merely polatical. It is only when they come to partake of the nature of a religion that they kindle enthusiasm, concentrate force, and by connecting a multitude of minds and arms in one thought and one will, defy resistance, and sweep away the opposition of wrong, and at times that of reason and of right. If there should arise in a country any epochs of political opinion, the tendencies or which appear dangerous to a government, the first care of that go vernment should be to avoid giving to that opinion the character of religion. Take socialism for example. It is said to menace property, to aim at subverting the existing organisation o f society , an d put ti ng some thing else in its stead. No doctrine flatters more the pride, the prejudices, the interests, the sorer, the hallucination of the people. It gives them hopes of the future and consolation for the past. It fills the place of religion for him who has been taught none but an ignorant, a material, and a brute one. And we are sorry to say that in too many European countries social am has replaced religion; the idea of per fecting the labouring man's condition in this world shutting cut from sight almost all thoughts of the next. Ilow are such opinions to be rendered as harmless as may be ? Certainly by free discussion, by experiments, by their own divisions and exposures, by the refutation of earnest and disinterested pens, by the raillery of men of the world, by the ac tMn, in short, of that intellectual winnowing machine which separates chaff from grain. Instead of this, how have the upper classes and ruling powers treated socialism in France ? They have persicuted and martyrised it into a religion. Socialism in France, when in power, and when allowed to realise, or attempt to realise its views, and to pro claim itself dominant, fell daily into contempt. It became a mockery and a byword. Even when dethroned and hurled from power it gro velled, and might have wanted the means of recovery. But when promises were not kept to it ; when the plainest principle of liberalism and honesty was cut aide and outraged along with solialism ; when the first geniuses of the conservative party, the TittERSES and the Du PINS, entered into the lists with the socialist philosophers, and were de cidedly inferior to them in verve and argument ; and when this inferiority of talent was instantly sought to be made up by a sub4titutioe of police law and brutality for logic—oh, then socialism began to wax st,ong, to hold up its held, to claim public sympathy, and attract public respect. As was ob-erved the other day by the Fanntiner, the great geniuses of the age have rallied to it, the tircos and the Suss—the first pens of France have taken up its caus. , in addition to the Loris BLANCS and the ParmfolioNs, men of great talents too, born in the faith. The result, therefore, of a two years' reign of conservatism, under an executive of its choice, and a representative majority of its formation, has been S 3 terribly to augment the power of the popular opposition, that any hope of arguing with it was abandoned, and the sole mode of combaing it made to lie in the rigour of the puce and the numbers of the soldiery. Police and soldiers are, however, inefficient for such purpose. They can disperse a group, put down a riot ; but they cannot eradicate a religion, or a social doc trine that has been made to partake of the nature and excite the enthusiasm of one. We know what the French army is, how it is composed, and that each year's recruital brings to it, fresh and unmiti gated, the predominant feelings, whatever they may be, of the people. Go, combat the popular masses and their sentiments by portions of those masses end those sentiments, apparently modified by • few weeks' drill. But takime the supposition most favourable to the party of repression. Imagine the people, or tho social ists u they are called, foolish enough to be provoked into insurree' ion by the goading of the police, or by a emir (rant of the President, and let us imagine them to have been put down—that another June combat has slain its thousands, exiled mcre thousand., and devastated the capital. What then? Why, that opinion is not killed by military conquest. The' history of socialism after June bespeaks it. One cannot extirpate the muses. They are not con vinced, no, nor conquered, by the sword. Instead of this, we do think that freedom and fair treatment of opinion would work the cure of all that is pernicious in it, whilst the doings of M. CARTIER will but make it strike deeper root into the pride, the conscience, and the conviction of the people. We know of no worse sign than the fact that the party of the upper, a-d, as they call themselves, the educated classes in Paris, have been obliged, in order to combat the socialist candidature of EUGENE SUE, to pat forward as their representative the low liest and least intellectual of their party—one who does not represent them at all, indeed, although he may typify their only passion, and their one idea, a horror of emeute. The conservative party hag not one known or respectable name that it could off r to the el* ctors of Parisi. M. CARNOT hes been fearfully lacerated for telling the rustic electors to return staunch republicans to the assembly, without ming whether they were learned or not. The conservatives are practising what CARROT preached. Their idea of the political champion is that he be a good constable. The socialists of Paris give their votes to a man of genius—a poet and a novelist. The aristocracies of the three dynasties unite their votes on a representative of mere physical force. They abandon their own weapons, the intellect, the tongue and the pen, in which they ought to have the superiority ; and they think to overcome the masses in a collision of bone and muscle. Is not this madneui preposterous enough to demonstrate how ill promoted, ill managed, and ill defended has been their cause, and how irrevocably it is lost? _ _ _ Whilst in the act of writing, the French telegraph has brought the expected intelligence that EUGENE Sue has carried the election. And there comes with the report great wailing and gnashing of teeth. One would think the world were at its end, begause a mall of talent and fortune, who sympathises with the people, and prefers a republic to any of the candidate monarchies, has been chosen representative for Paris. And EUGENE SUE is this, rot merely by the votes of the shopkeepers but of the army, whose significant votes are recorded. Univer sal suffrage has at least this merit—that it proclaims unmistakably the leanings and opinions of the troops, as well as of the multitude. Againet these united, who but madmen would meditate resistance or a coup-tletat There is evidently but one hope for peace and or derly government in France, for au avoidance of civil war and its consequences ; —it is for the propertied class and its notabilities to accept the republic sin cerely, give up reviling it and plotting against it, and employing police to insult the public and to gag the press. Let LOUIE NAPOLEON and his parlia mentary majority condescend to be true to the oaths which they swore to the republican coostitetion, and by making common cause, aid entering into common councils, with the people, prevent that death struggle between the two classes, which every conservative act atid word have hitherto gone to aggravate and to provoke. Tne Houle of Commons now understands the Ecclesiastical Commission Bill—how it is a bishops' measure to avoid and elude the recommendations of the committee of the house which reported in 184ti— how its tendency is to confirm and continue the episcopal hold that now grips the property of the church—how it is a prelatical sham—how it is the p r rice ministers have consented to pay for epis mriam nderstanding all this, nothing but large and liberal concessions in committee, from Sir GROKOE Oiler and Lord Joux Russui, can avert discussions even more painful to theepisoopate, and more hurtful to the church, than those of Monday evening. For if prelatical power over ministerial:free agency will not permit the kill to be improved in committee, the whole of the irresistible easel against the bishops will have to be repeated and reitera:e d until those "pious, learned, courteous, and hospitable" gentlemen, who build their palaces, keep them in repair, ornament their gardens at the expense of religion, and speed their 6,00 W. a year far away from the smoke of their cathedral cities, become the objects of general indig nation. The peace and the welfare of the church are, therefore, interested in the recommendations of the committee of 1848 being fully adopted and incorpo rated into the bill. These recommendations remaining uooomplied with, church reformers will batter away until old Mother Church is shaken to her very foun dation. The sooner, then, the bishops capitulate on this point the better for themselves. Now, what is it that is required from the bishops? Simply that they should exn.se to manage that pro perty of the ecclesiastical commission which a com mittee of the House of Commons has reported they have mismanaged, and that they should allow its ad ministration to be placed iu the hands of paid com missioner', responsible to the public. What hardship is there in such a requirement—what attack is there on the church—what rude, or violent, or irreverent interference is there in the temp militias of the esta blishment? The proposal is one for the hus banding and the improvement of the episcopal and capitular estates fur the augmentation and increase of the surplus applicable to the parochial extension of the church of England—for the safety and protection of that church. Yet against it, the episcopate is in arms: and ministers are threatened with the release of the " rude Borten" of ecclesiastical wrath if they consent to a better stewardship of the property of the ecclesiastical commission. Was there I ever such episcopal folly—such prelatical insanity ? Can it be that the gods are dementing those they are 4 about to destroy ? Mark; it is not proposed to deprive the bishops of the means of disposing and of appropriating the ap plication of the income of the property it is desired to take out of their management. It is not asked that the bishops should be denuded of those powers of church extension and endowment which they have as ecclesiastical commissioners. It is not sought to take away the almost legislative functions posse seed by that body. Nothing of this sort, however needful it is, has as yet been suggested. All that is required is that, retaining each authority, they should be dis encumbered of the mar agement and the practical stewardship for which they are by their habits, their number, and theer other avocations so manifestly un flved. All that the bishops will consent to, is that there shall be a small committee of four, three of which shall be appointed by themselves, to consider all mat t( rs relating to the management of the property, and to report to them thereon. Hut in such an arrange ment there is no security for improved administration ; for the reports of a committee in which episcopal in fluence predominates, will, of course, be accommo dated to episcopal wants and wishes; and the jobs now perpetrated dircc•ly by the bishops will be then cloaked, and concealed, and defended by reports from their nominees. The spiritual wants of the country, Fay the bishop•, require an exteneiim of the episcopate—more sees and more bishops. But if the diocesan duties of the prelates are so great and overpowering as to need a division of dioceses and an augmentation of the pre lacy, with what consistency can the existing bishops insist on burdening themselves with the management of property in the metropolis? If they cannot satis factorily perform the ordinary business of their office it is nothing short of hypocrisy to overload themselves with extraordinary duties. But the duties of the ecclesiastical commission are, in truth, used as an excuse for episcopal neglect of diocesan affairs. It was not a year ago that we had the Bishop of DURHAM apologising to the vestry of Gateshead for inattention to his visitorial obligations over some local charity, on the ground that the busi ness of his office detained him many months yearly in London ; and now, whilst we write, he is dragging yourg men from the:north of England up to Portland place to attend an ordination. If a bishop be wanted in his diocese he pleads the duties of the ecclesiastical commission as an apology for his absence ; if he be required in White hall-place, he regrets that the affairs of his see keep him in the country. But, curiously erougb, his pre sence in London always fits iu with the fashionable season ; and his residence in the provinces regularly accords with the pleasures and the sports of rural life. And for nearly five months in every year it is impne.ible to procure a legal metting of the ecclesias tic rl commission. Of the debate it may be observed that not a epesker defended the present compositicn of the ecclesiastical commission, or quite approved of the bill sent down by the bishops from the Lord.; that Sir Roma PEEL was significantly absent; ar.d that the protec tionist leaders gave the episcop its no support. In short, the temper of the house had, it was clear, set in strongly against the bishops and their bill. Lord JOHN RussELL regretted the episcopal supre macy, which he has not the courage to abate, in the ecclesiastical commission. Sir GEORGE GREY'S sub serviency to the episcopate, which is the bane of the ministers in their ecclesiastical policy, would not carry even him so far as to consent to the longer separation of the episcopal and the common funds. Mr. GOULBURN abused and slandered Mr. Hoas- MAN, but would not pledge himself to the details of the measure: and neither would Sir HOBERT INGLIS; whilst Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT, Mr. PAGE IVOOD, and Mr. HORSMAN were all resolved to have large and liberal alterations in committee; and Sir BEN JAMIN HALL and Mr. OSBORNE exhibited a quiet determination to protect their friends from personal assaults whilst so usefully engaged. Nay, Lord JOHN only saved the bishops from an adjourned debate by treating Mr. HORSHAM with decency, and promising to place the committee on the bill first on the orders of the day. The sooner, then, the bishops begin to ret their houses in order the wiser they will act. For years they have escaped parliamentary attention on the as sumption that they were prudently administering the affairs of the ecclesiastical commission. But now that it is proved that they were wasting and spend ing on themselves the property of the church, it is no longer possible for the House of Commons to pass over their conduct unnoticed. and heft myself on the iseseatea to whisk I have a !obit that nineties erne bmada, s a d t h at airier midis wee isteaded. 'mat beim the ease I ceseider that the hes. member for Oxford shire mesas hie motion for nothing sin than that the hoes* sboald may to the government, W. hairs no goad dame is your proposal. (" Hear, hear," Ins Colonel Sib thorp.) We wean to say that you have not done your duty, and we require sous other rernioa." (Colossi alba orp sheered loudly to the gnat amuse men t a t the house.) The hon. and gallant member fur Li aso l a accepts that uncle r. mondial( with his usual candour—(sheen and laughter) —and I am sure that the honourable member for Oxfordshire will be obliged to him lir a cemmeatary which so clearly explain, the object he had in Mew. (Hear, hear.) Bet the motion declares something more than thin I think it would be an objec tionable motion if it were merely unjust to the government of the day ; but there is likewise • proposal to nines wipes and salaries in every department of the public writhe. Let us first take the salaries, and these meat be taken in con nexion with the speech made by the hon. member lest year, and with the remarks of the hon. member for BuckMsbass shire. Their declaration is that great reductions have taken place in the price of necessaries of life, and that therefore there should be a proportionate demeans in the sclasies et all potions employed in the public service. Now, sir, I would say at occe, that our reductions have always gone on • different principle. (Cheers ) Whenever we found that there were more persons em ployed In any department this wen required, we reduced them by superannuation and declined to ti I up the vacancies. But I think that re .sections mad* merely on the tea per cent. principle and merely becalms the necemaries of lif e have grown chesper would be unfair and unjust to the great body of persons employed in the public service. (Hear, hear.) The right hon. member for Tamworth said no more than was just when he commended wi warmly the abilities and seal of the gentlemen empineed permanthfly in the publi • service. Why, these gentlemen in the permanent ger. vice of the country carry on the whole machine of govern ment. (Hear, hear.) There is an almluth necessity for having men of ability and experienoe constantly employed is a country with one eonstitational to I'M of go vernment. (Hear, hest.) I will venture to say that if we were to go out of office to-morrow in consequence of any vote et this house, that those gentlemen oho have not been in office before would find that for some time, at least, they must depend entirely on the services of those gentlemen of experience and ability whom they find in the client, and by whose means the public business is efficiently carried on. And I must toy that whatever government may some into Alm, they will fit.d toes. gentlemen only zealous for the public service, and, whether whir or tory, always ready to perform their duty without any hies result hag from their political principles. (Hear, hear ) I there. fore feel it my cuty to resist a resolution by whicn this noon vainest. class of men rase be injured in their interests and prospects (Hear.) Talk of the price of the DN. Mafia of life! Why, if these gentlemen were entering into public lite now, there would be tar other pre nos looked at with them than the price of provisions. (Hear. hear.) They would be judg. d by their tales's, their s, and the esti ! math,e in which they were held by their country's. n. If you found tn. Bash, the East ladia Company, and the great row:medal firing, paying much higher reward fur talent than the governmeat, you will soon find your economy the • most wasteful measure that could be adopted, and that you had better pay as liberally as private establistommut, in order that you might secure at least sa equal amount of talent. (Hear, hear.) I tear, therefore, that on these grounds the motion ought not to be adopted; but there is another part el ;hr mon m which was perfectly understood by the hon member for the West Riling even before the eaplanati m of the hon. member for Buckinghamshire, because this plan propene not only a revision of salary hot of wages in • very department of the public service, with a view to their reduc. tics. It would be impneeible for the government to • cept such a motion without giving rise to an expectation through. out the coueory that they were sb out to mike reductions of wages in *very part of the public sert;ee On what ground.? We have it explained by the hon. member to Backingham shire, and the ground is, not that wages have tallith in the t establishment of pnvate individuals, or generally throughout the country, but that there is such distress in the country, arising from the repeal of the duties on corn and cotter ice port duties, that you have no moan in order to save the country but goner illy to reduce public salaries and wages. My answer is that that is not true. (Loud cheers and dissent from the protectionists.) My answer is, that from inmate I have received, wages, except in a few agricultural comities, have not suffered any I . llo•Cti.'n, mid that the labouring classes of this country are not obliged to receive a less amount of remuneration foe their labour than they did heron ' the act of 1816. (Laud cheers.) I will not, therefore, give any countenance to that feature cf the resolu tion. (Hear, bear.) I will not support the assertion of gentlemen who are anxious to make the country appear in such distress in csonquenci of the adoption of what is called ' free trade, that it is &Nolan', necessary t3I the state to re duce the waist of every labourer in the public service. Therefore it is that hon. gentlemen opp site Dome f tetrad with these motions for reduction in the public expencbturc, knowing they would be in a minority if they proposed a motion for restoring protection; bat, considering that if they appear in this guise,or rather disguise—t" hear, hear," and • lauah)—they may possibly gala some allies from three who would shrink from giving any countenance to what they proclaim their real object to be, the restoration of protective imam in this country. (Hear, hear.) If that object were plainly sad fairly declared, there can be but little doubt that those who share the opinions of my honourable friend the member for Montrose would take the tame course at the hon. member for the West Reding of Yorkshire, who, with his usual sagacity, has per ceived their object and will not faun them. (Hear, hear.) But, Timeo Lariat's, they say as we have no chance in our own character as tones, we will appear as men who are great (monists, and wish to effect large reductions of common, and thus we may succeed in cans ing some • motion advent to the government, who support fry e trade, shed by • circuitous mode arrive at our object—the restore , tion of the duty on corn. (Cheers.) This, I thing, should be a sufficient reason for those who have not that end in v.ew nit to vote for • resolution which effects no real economy, and does not save the expeneiture of a single pound of the pubic money. (" Oh, oh," from the protect tionists.) I doubt whether, bevies regard to a wise and true economy, we can snake reductioa(more speedily or more safely than by the made we have proposed. But if, on the con. tiny, the house were to adopt the nictitation new proposed, whim apparently they would be giving a vote in favour of economy, they would, in fact, be doing but little foe that object ' • they would, in effect, be furthering a totally different ob ject, welch, I believe, the majority of the house, if presented to them plainly and directly, are pre pared genera ly to decide. (Chien.) Sir C. BURRELL stated that he could bear witness (as the fact appeared to be doubted) of the reduction in the rate of wages that had taken place in the agricultural districts. Mr. HENLEY, in reply, complained of the unfair manner in which this motion had been met by the government—vin , as • vote of censure, which it was a meant to be. He could not say that it was any answer to the motion he had brought forward to deal with the Treasury and Foreign office, which he had stated to the house were not offices which he had brought especially under their notice, because they were annually under the consideration of the house. The house then divided: F..r the motion Against it The motion was consequently lost. SALE OF POISONS. Kr. STANFORD moved aseVeteommittee to inquire if any restriciona (and if any, what restrictions) should be imposed by parliament nn the sale of /niacin. Sir G. GREY said the question was important, and that the great difficulty about it was the numeration of p Aeons. A bill wee being prepared on the subject; and therefore it was undesirable to pm* the motion. Si, R.

ERFURT, Aram 27. It is expected that both houses will be adjourned on Tuesday next, as they have completed the task for which they were more immediately called together. Many of the deputies are opposed to the adjournment, as they do not consider their mission to be accom plished until the government of the union shall have been appointed and installed; their objections, how ever, will not be considered. It is hoped that the act of adjournment will be accompanied by some defined statement from the united governments of the course they intend to pursue. The carefully preserved silence of the Prussian ministers and of the Verwal tungsrath has created fresh doubts in many minds of their honesty towards the German union, and it is highly desirable that some step ebould be taken to renew the confidence of the public in the good faith of their rulers towards the Erfurt project. An unpleasant squabble has occurred between the officials of the Volkshaus and the representatives of the press. It arose in the following manner: On the 22nd inst. Herr von Bismark Schonhausen, one of the protecoff7ihrer, addressed a letter to the correspond ent of the Frankfort Ober Poet Ands Zeituna, com plaining of the misrepresentations contained in the letters published in that journal dated from Erfurt, and requiring from him the name of the author of the parliamentary reports ; he accomnanied his letter with the threat that unless greater impartiality were ob served in the reports, the card of admission to the press tribune granted to the correspondent of the Frankfort Obrr Post Amts Zeitung would be with draw. The gentleman in question referred the the matter to the presidium of the house, and was gratified by the answer that the proceedings of Herr Bismark Schon hausen were not approved of by the highest authority. The pugnacious protoeolfiihrer had howev. r for warded a copy of the above letter to the correspondent of the Auasburg Allgemeine Zeituna, with the anno tation : "Zee yeflillven kenntnisanahnse runt Ueber-1 legume as much as to say—Have the kindness to I read and attentively consider the enclosed. Herr von Rochau, who represents the Allgenarate Ze i tu n q, eon sidering the letter to be a private communication, re turned a private answer, enclosing a copy of his des patch of the same date to his journal, in which the proceedings of Herr von Bismark Schonhausen were subjected to a very severe criticism, and accompany ing the latter with the same annotation employed by Bismark Schonhausen—"Zur perilligen Kenntniss• whine and trebsrleyuny." 'f un latter geutli:- man, considering the letter and the annotation an insult to the dignity of the house, hurried with it to the president, who viewed the matter in the same light, and immediately wrote to Herr von Rochae, requesting him to return his ticket of admis sion, informing him at the same time that the matter had been communicated to the reibirtims o f th e k m , I nal, with the remark that admission would at once be granted to another correspondent. The mho•r representatives of the press, on being informed of this attempt to infringe their independetaoe, at once met, drew up a protest against it, an; in a body retur.ied their tickets of admission to the house. What NATIONAL REFORM CONFERENCE. The address of the National Reform Conference to the friends of parliamentary and financial reform throughout the kingdom, ha. been dr►wn up in acee.rdanc • with the unmimou, resolution of the conference, by the Butinese Committee : The Conference was convened to deliherate on the means of promoting the ledislative adoption of those principles which constitute the basis of the National Reform Associa tion, and which have already received in the present House of Commons the sanction of more than one hundred and twenty members. _ Delegates assembled on Tursday last, representing almost all the principal cities and towns of the empire, and also a large and growing section of the agricultural papu lati,n. The utmost earnestness and unanimity narked its proceedings. Too Conference, having unanimously passed a resolution approving the principles of the association and the prcceed ings of its council, then adopted a series of resolutions, urging the employment of Ircturers, the distribution of tracts, and the formation of local committees. The Confe mice attached g;eatimp . irtance to the employ ment of every available means of increasing the number of reform electors, by a strict attervion to the registra , ion and by a persevering support of the freehold la- d movement. I•ae Conference strongly recommended that movement to the earnest support of everyrelormer throughout the empire ; not merely f r the political results which it was accomplish ing, but also for the inestimable moral effect which it was producing on the industrial classes. Many misconceptions being entertained as to the extent of the electoral reforms which the associ►tion seeks to promote, particularly on the subject of rating, the Conference rectum• mended that a bill should be drawn, ready to be laid b:fore p.rliament, con , aining all the enactments, in h gal form, re• quisite to give effect to the cbjects of the usociation. An important alteration in the mode of construing the council was also recommended. Aber these and other practical rrcemmendations, the Con ference paswd the following resolution That this Conference is of opinion that every means ought to be employed to enlarge the present county and borough eonstituen i,s to the utmost rxten•, and that it is desirable to form, in the several localities, committees, with a permanent machinery, to watch seal superintend the regis tration ; and that it be hereby recommended to the re'orm associations throughout the c:untry, particularly where established in districts not satisfactorily represented at the present time in parliament, the urgent imp:rt■uee of being prepared, whenever any victory occurs in the representa tion of any boroughs or divisions of counties with which such associations are connected, to nominat.s thoreugh re formers, and thus incresse the number of reform members in the House of Commons, or at all events aid the develop- ment of public opinion in support of the princip:es of this aasociation. The above statement sufficiently indicates the practical mutts of the Conference. The committee now earnestly appeal to the ref • reners of the United Kingdom to carry into effect the resolutions of the assembled delegates, and suggest the foLowiLg practical course of proceedieg :- Ist. That in every town where any number, however small, of earnest reformers resides, a local committee with a secretary be itnmediati ly appointed; such appointment to be notified to the secretary in Loudon, who will, without delay, send cards of membership, a supply at tracts, &c. 2. That periodical meetings of memn,rs be held to con verse upon and discuse the public questions involvi d in this movement, so as thereby to interest the active spirits in the locality. At these meetings a prominent object should be the enrolment of members. 3. That lectures and public addresses explanatory of the principles of the association be delivers i as extensively ant regularly as possible. 4. Thu it be regarded as an important duty of such local committees to give strict attention to the registrati , n, and also to facilitate by all possible means the acquisition of small freeholds, either by the agency of fret-114i land so cieties or otherwise, as may be deemed bast in each locality ; the mos' scrupulous care beine taken that all pecuniary transactions are conducted with the utmost regularity and 5. That in every parliamentary borough not satisfactorily represented at present, and in every ceuntv or division, the immediate attention of the friends of this movement be directed to the necessity of a determined and independent electoral policy, and that the reformers in every locality should look out (if possible, from amongst themselves), for diitable men to support their principles in parliament, and that, wherever a phalanx can be formed in arty contituency to give effect to this policy, a resolution should be adopted to nominate and support such cendiJates, regae.less ot it, im mediate success, or of its operation on either of the aristo cratic parties. This course of action, if carried oat in a firm. and yet conciliatory spirit, will speedily win 0..2. thousands to the cause who never have faith in any principles until their advocate, have proved their earnestness, sad that they are not manoeuvring for mere party purposes. The resolu tion ti adopt this policy, when once uetermined on, should be publicly avowed. It appears from cominuoiratians made to the Conference, that the legal expellees of conducting eke-- lion contests are considerably lens thee is generally supposed.. and it is extremely important that such a economi , ml plan, electoral of 6 a . c t T io h n a ss will fact:Rote the. should pelvicclry e z r?r : d s 0. 1 i y ... a p d p h en e adl r e e d to made to those who is distinct orgentsa.ions are urging various grievances en public attention to unite in this effort to courruct in parliameat such a tribunal as, bring 6 eely chosen by, and fully respon sible to the people, shall 'rive an attentive ear to their com plaints; and no longer played by class considerations, shall deal out impartial rustlers to all. This sucg. at ion applies to the rapidly increasing advocates of financial refortu—reli nimas cquality—peaee- —modifications ot the penal code—re forms to the administration of the law—and to all who are striving to allay the discontent or add to the comforts of the great mass of the people. Many other p tactical measures will suggest them-. selves to the friends of the movement through ' out the kingdom, according to the ercumatonsis of the severe', localities. The council of the association. j energetically • Imported by the warnt spproval and cordial, sympathy ut the Reform Conference, will proceed with re-. doubled energy to the work which lies before it. In the opinion of men of all parties, a measure ot electoral retinue has become a necessity. It is for the people of the l'..tted Kingdom to determine, that the question,wh• a ono.: opened, shall not be finally settled until there is a cured for them a complete control ov.r the taxes tLey to pay and the laws by which they are gositued.

For Eugene Sue 126,966 For Leclerc .. .. 116,211 The Paris election has been decided in favour of Esgene Sue. The latest state of the poll reported gives 126,966 votes to Sue, and 116,211 to Leclerc.' this statement compri.es the 12 arrondissements of Paris, the arrondissements of St. 1/ennis ar d Sceaux, snd the army. To render it complete, the results in 8 sections of the banlieue are wanting, and the votes of the navy. This supplement will not modify the main result in any important way; It will, in fact, swell the majority of 11,000 already gained by the socialist candidate. The certainty of NI. Sue's election was known between nine and ten last night, when sufficient progress had been made in the examination of the ballot to foresee a majority of several thousand votes in his favour. Thus once more the red has won. Once more nearly 130,000 men of Paris and the banlieue have I borne the champion of democracy and socialism tri umphant into the National Assembly. On the 10th I of March they did homage to the insurrection of June; on the 28th of April they confirmed the revo lution of February. We shall now see whether the government will have the pluck to fulfil the promise of its organs, and aim a blow at universal suffrage. The electoral law which is to be brought forward, — will now be the great question. A collision thtween the legislature and socialists seems inevitable. No one can doubt the will of the Assembly to modify the principle of universal suffrage in a way that would put an end once for all to the possibility of repeating such results as the lost two Paris elections have brought to light. As little can the determination of the voters for Eugene Sue and De Flotto be doubted to resist, if necessary, by armed rebellion, the impositi.in of such a law. Now one fact has been brought out in this last election quite as significantly as on the 10th of March, and that is the demucratio tendency of the army. If we subtract the republican guard aad the Invalides, which firm a &sedge of the government, the military votes of Leclerc will be found reduced to an insignificant num ber. Four-fifths of the soldiers voted for Sue. Sop peeing the provincial members of the army to be ani mated by the same spirit, a legion of ebangarnier Gould Never brine foar-fifths of the troops to act in the teeth of their own convictions and consciences. Meanwhile the head of the republic is surrounded by men who preach habitually against mitigating the rola of the government, or assuming lees illiberal ministers as a commies. I und.retand that M. de Persigny is one of the moat influential intimates of the President, and pitches his counsels in a key which seems borrowed from the northern courts. Perhaps that huge military force now eencamped in Poland, and which might, by the continuous line of railroad stretching from Warsaw to Paris, be transported hither in a month, figures in the back ground before imaginations of the advocates of re pression and the dupes of ambition, as a last resource for clapping a straitejacket upon writhing socialism. The greatest praise le awarded by Mucaulay to our Queen Bras for her good sense in not overstraining the endurance of the people, but in giving way at the right moment. The best thing the President could do would be to imitate this example, and take a hint from the two emphatic protests of the 10th of March and 28th of April against the errors and oppression of hie ministers, to choose fresh ministers whose names would be a guarantee for the maintenance of the re public, and their abilities for the firm and wise con duct of the government. Many of the Emperor's maxims are Rooted in the Napoleon, b u t th ere i s one which says it is no mean wisdom to know when one is beaten," more applicable to the present state of things than vspouring about the 18th of Bromidic. ' The diminution of the numbest sof the socialists and republiorne of the National party appears, from the returns, to be about five thousand ; that of the party of order is about eight thousand. Consequently, more electors have abstained from voting than at the elec tion of the 10'h of March. As it is well-kr:own that the socialists, from their discipline and ardour, would present the same compact body, and that the secession of the National party could only be small, it was evident from the first, that the party of order could only hope to gain a victory by a display of increased strength. The contrary is the result. This can only be removed - by such an amendment of the electoral law as will compel every elector to go to the poll. There is no other cure for apathy than this. According to the account given by the Constitutionnel, allowing for votes which may have been given to other names, at least 60,000 electors have abstained from voting, which is a larger Lumber than at the election of the 10th of March, as compared with the electoral hate, for at that time the highest candidate on the exialist aide had 132,881 votes, and the highest on the other side 125.673. Nothing has been more remarkable than the quiet with which this vast doctoral operation has bon conducted. No more striking argument cluld be witnessed in favour of the bsllot. I hear that it has been decided to drop the Napoleon. The Bourse bears to-day expressive signs of the discouraging effect of the election on the money market. The Fives fill to 80 90. There has there fore been a fell of 21r. within the last two days. There was a great demand for gold ingots to be transported abroad. Many travelling-carriages were sten leaving 1 1 Paris this morning. To-morrow evening we expect to Lear the result of the elections of the Saone and Leire, which were also to commence on the 28th of April. Yesterday the report on judicial reform was pre sented in the Assembly by M. de Crouseilhts. The chief future of the committee's amendments is the proposition of a more severe test of qualificati-n for judges. In the Legislative Assembly to-day the discussion of the budget of war was resumed. Nothing o interest occurred. About M. Carlier's interdiction of the sale of the opposi ion papers en masse there is but one opinion among sane persons. The raving nonsense of the Napolem I have already txpised at length. An article which appeared in its last number threatens France with a new 18th Brumaire. This was much talked of yesterday in bath camps. The reds treated the threat with the scorn which it merited ; the moderates spoke of the necessity of suppressing such dangerous antics in the confidential press of the Elys, r. Paris was alrsady at fever heat with the election ; if anything could make the public spirit Bill over it was this menace of a coup tretat, accompanied by M. Carlier's worrying of the liberal press. No organ of any government ever dated before to hold such lan guage ; no tool of a government ever dared before to misuse his powers so audaciously. The ministers are said to have declared their intention of resigting un less the Napoleon were suppressed. Interpellations in the Clamber have been announced on this subject. na•n:e. PARIS, Aram kl.

The partisans of the ministry give out that it has been resolved in their favour, that the misunderstanding between them and the King- Consort has disappeared, that the Queen gives them every mark of confidence, and that Queen Christina has managed, as before, to impose upon the King-Con sort with promises made merely to gain time. On the other baud, the opposition allows equal confidence in the approaching downfall of the ministry, assailed is it is both in public and private. The pray, when it can not be overawes, is kept fast muzzled ; the Clamor Public° has been seized again this morning, as were the Observador and the Everansa of yesterday- even ing, and yet they contained nothing that would seem to merit so rigorous a measure. By these means the voice of the opposition cannot make itself heard in the palace, since the only condition upon which the anti-ministerial prints may appear is that they forbear attacking the c.tbinet. For this reason not a single print has commented upon the royal de cree inserted in the Gazelle directing the Clamor to be prosecuted for libel for having remarked on stock jobbing that has taken piaci, with reference to the bill for the adjustment if the state debt, and the (Junior was seized this morning for having defended itself. .1 ~, 1!1,1 I I I I it II ii , 5 „..... ~... ..
