Lord J. RUSSELL—The right hon. gentleman who bas jest sat down has appealed so directly to the government, that I moot he explaining the position in which we at present Mad. Toe hos. gentleman will sot deny that this propoition, as originally made, did not meet with our =p eal t bat he seems to forget the eiretunstance that it is not is our power to withhold from our sovereign an address of this house, the house Mythg agreed to an address to be carried to her Majesty by the members of the Prkey Canaan. Ido rot think we are fully justified is saying, " we will withheld the address, that althoagh it was di rected to Mr Majesty, it should sever reach lw Majesty; it is true you kayo voted the address, but we cannot opuses' to wry it." Having according presented the address to hen Majesty, we were boun d to give moons advice, respecting it; and it appeared to me that this house haying agreed with the address (and on consultation with my colleagues they were of the same opinion), the only souse to be panned was to advise the crows to carry it into effect. The vote was not in aceordaace with oar opinion. I certainly could have wished that this question had not come en so soon for consi deration. It is brought before me, and I am bound to give my opinion and my vote open a subject which is now brought before me. I own Ido not think it is a question precisely similar to the ordinary Resi des of the London post-ogee being shut up. sec de I think, with my km. friend, that it can be decided by reference, entirely to the amber of When' letters. With regard to the PostWilee, there is this peculiarity, which separates everything from an other Sunday labour, viz., that the labour of the Postothes is not performed all in one day, but the transmission of letters requires labour on two different days. If you take the tette,' from London to Glasgow, part of the labour is performed is London, part h performed on the road between London and Glasgow, sad part at Glasgow. The wan queue is, that if you shut up the Poet-office in London ono day in the week, there is no less labour in London on other days ; but it you design that the post-office should be closed in the same way to every part of the country, that which goes from Loudon en the Swag evening is sot delivered sr known ea Monday massing ; end that it it not similar to this question which we have with regard to Sunday labour. Now, sir, as to the waseguncts which fellow from such regulations as we have now onforcod, ia compliance with the address of this how, I de not wader that somniercial eonesposedowe is the chief matter to be esesidered. I think, if it were merely commercial conespoadence it would be gait' right that commercial correspondence should owe on Sunday. I own I think that if we are to de cide upon this motion it would be most desirable that we should take it in what is the sense and intention of the motion, viz., that there should be an husky whether you could not confine the delivery of letters oa Sunday to such a short period of time as would ,sable the clerks in the post of fioe to have sufficient time for attendance on divine service. I ems that it appears to me that that object is far from impossible, teeing how often since the commencement of last autumn they toot measures of that description. If that is the we I think it better to continue the present regulation. _Mr. MUNTZ supported the resolution. Mr. OL/J)STONE said that the house should clearly understand what it was going to do. If the noble lord did not propose to omit the words in the re solution which ordered the resumption of deliveries pending inquiry, he feared that he would only increase the dissatis faction. (" Divide.") He thought that the best plan would be for the noble lord to take a few days to consider before he oak an further steps ia the matter. (No, no.) He (Mr. Gladstone) hid voted for the motion of his noble friend after having heard the 'catmint of the govtrament, be confessed with some misgiving—became le could have wished for further (Jimmies ; but the motion was pissed. =1 the riscindieg of a resolution of that house was rather • serious matter. (Hear, hear.) Nothing could hays • greater tendency to lower them in the eyes of the public, the ' more espechilly when, as in the present case, they were about to rescind their resolution without sufficient experience or consideration. But there was another quetioa tor their consideration. They had addressed the crows on the sub ject, sad had made the crown • party to their set. (Hear.) Mr. RICE made a few observations, but the impatience of the house wairred him quite ineud.ble. Mr. B. HOPE attempted to address the house, but the cries for a division rendered it impossible to catch a word. Under the circumstasees, he felt bound to vote for the motion. Lord J. RUSSELL, after what had been said by Mr. Gladstone, th ought it clearable, if there were words In the resolution more than necessary, that some agreement should be come to to remove them. He suggested, as a substitute for Ina motion, that a humble address should be presented to her Majesty, praying that she would be graciously pleased to cause am inquiry to be made whether the amount of Sunday labour in the Post-office might not be reduced without com pletely putting an end to the collection and delivery of letters on Sunday. Sir T. D. ACLAND fully approved of the amendment proposed by Lord J. Russell, which met what he believed to be the view of all who desired to pat an end to Sunday labour in the Post-office, in order to give rest on that day to the employe. Nothin g, however, would have induced him to vote for the original motive as proposed by the hon. mem ber for Honkon. The SPRAILER having put the amendment am suggested by Lord J. Russell, Mr. HUME contended that the original vote on which the change had been founded was the resole of surprise. He thought the house ought to come to a deciann on the original vote in order that the opinion of the house might be taken on the main question. Mr. CARDWELL approved of the resolution as suggested by the noble lord. Mr. BCHOLEFIELD reminded his hon. colleague that petitions had been presented from Birmingham against the total stoppage of the Mali on Sunday. A large body, if not a majority of the people of Birmingham, were entirely op p to the late alteration. Lord D. STIJART—As the altention had been made in iseuence of a vote of that house, he could not assent to a iesolution which called for an inquiry but pending that Weary required that a change should be made. He hoped the resolution would be withdrawn. Mr. DISRAELI took exception to the terms of the rem lathe, which called for inquiry whether Sunday labour night hot be reduced in the Post4iliste, whereas there was IneHanday labour now, and saggested that there should be 1 1 1 a adjournment of the debate. Sir 0. GREY contended that the terms of the resolution were perfectly consietest with the object in view. Lord J. MANNERS did not admit that the vote on this question was come to by surprise, and he could not consent to vote for this motion. The house divided — Far the original motion For the amendment 233-141 Is wow to Mr. Rozaccx, Lord J.

Mr. PLUMPTRI esugliebed that Ile gseettaa was set brought to a satidasiery torsisaties. The 'spites for the adiesisisest et tke debate was then, by leave, withdraws, mad the imps divided as Lord J. ihrealre asiesdaaest. 195 Asalast ft ll2-83 Tie same wan of dm day wore tion disposed of, and tin boon ad)ontaod at twisty minutia to 8 o'olook. Thies manor he a more valuable mobs: of a run way company than the shareholder, who, folly in herited*: its a ff airs, attends its mat ing., and discus- Ing them in temperate hinguago, aims at pectin' and pm:doable ends. Bat there is not a more press than the proprietor, who, belisethe asi = I railway directors are rogues, sad seeing heath* fa all their acts, caliphs the time of thus mest af ier ne t exasperating the temper of the weak end eel by disgusting those who would profitably and take Part pr in eser tlr e reeedings were decency an u t a l li A MADAM , and by alarming capitalists oat of doors and proprietors who remain at home. It is by the intemperance of snob people that defective di rectorates are continued, jobs concealed, and improve meets prevented. And until these habitual dis• tethers of railway meetings are "pot down" as effectually as Sir Perth Limes would suicide, no great improvement in railway administration can be expected. It is only by all parties deeply interested in these undertakings " putting their shoulders to the wheel" Ramici, be overcome , amicably sod cordially and ordr intro- y together, no. that an the d ir w dit in alties can duced where disorder prevails; and though it is quite possible that the present administration of some com panies may not invite much confidence, experience does not as yet show that much benefit is to be pined by wholesale changes in railway boards. Mr. RICARDO may, for example, have been far too sanguine in his expectations of the North Stafford shire line; but while his removal from the presi dency of that company could not fail to be a great relief to himself. it is hardly possible that he amid be replaced by any one more competent to work out its future fate, whatever it may be. So, too, with Lord YARBOROI3OII in relation to the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, with Mr. CHAPLIN of the South Western, Mr. Rues of the Mallands, and, we doubt not, with Mr. ?decoration of the South Eastern. It is easy for excitable and intemperate persona to urge shareholders to get rid of such men ; but it is difficult to see by whom they can be safely or advantageously replaced. The truth is, that parliament is much more to blame than directors for the fallen condition of railway pro perty ; and the debate and division in the Lords, on Tuesday evening, on a bill to amend the Great Northern Railway Company's acts, form a very cha racteristic illustration of the difficulties which impede the construction, augment the cost, and diminish the pecuniary returns of these public works. The Great Northern Railway Company was, on the ground, as stated in the preamble of its act, of great public advantage," incorporated to °insignia a railway direct from London to York, with a loop line springing from Peterborough, nearly midway between those two cities, sweep ing through the heart of Lincolnshire, by Boston, Lincoln, and Gainsborongh, and rejoining the parent trunk at Bawtry. Those "great public advantages" were, of course, to give railway facilities to the important districts through which the old north road passed, to diminish the distance between London end the North of England and Scotland, and to eon sect the agricultural productions of Lincolnshire with the manufacturing . towns of Yorkshire and Lanca shire; thereby diminishing the cost of production in the firmer, and the price of food in the latter. So far as the main trunk was concerned, the Great Northern was a competing line ; on the one side it had the North Western and the Midlands for its rivals, on the other the Eastern Counties. But to Linoolasbire ;it introduced railway communica tion. Before its projection there was not a mile of railway in that great county ; subsequently Lincolnshire has been covered by a network of rail ways. The East Lincolnshire, for instance, connects the Great Northern system with the port of Great Grimsby. There a company is forming docks and enlarging the harbour, so as to render it the entrepot of our trade with the North of Europe. The Man cheshr, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire line continues the system from Great Grimsby to New Holland, opposite Hull, lessening the distance between Loudon and that town and the East Riding of Yorkshire by 40 miles ; and thence it cuts through Lincolnshire to Shef field, intersecting the Great Northern at Gainsborough. For the privilege, as it was then thought, of carry ing out these " great public advantages," the Great Northern bad, we find from the returns before parlia ment, to pay, in the shape of " preliminary ex penses," 436,00 IL; and, in the shape of subsequent parliamentary expenses, to correct the errors and supply the deficiencies of its originsl legislation, the further sum of 130,0001., together nearly 600,0001. The cost estimated in parliament of this great line was 6,600,0001., or 22,0001. a mile ' • and, on the as sumption that it could be constructed for that sum, the company agreed to carry passengers at cer tain low rates of fares, anti to take tolls for goods lower than those granted to the railways then in existence which competed with its trunk. But as the estimate of its cost was necessarily calcu lated before the application for its bill was made to parliament, it was not of course supposed that the legislature would so conduct the investigation as to fix on the company a preliminary expenditure of nearly half a million sterling ; consequently the 0114 to take with any success the low fares and tolls was at once disturbed by that expenditure, Those tolls were also fixed, so at least we find it stated in the proceedings of the year 1846, on the further assumption that the land required for the line would cost the company at the very handsome rate of 2,0001. smile ; or, in the whole, about 600,0001. The legislature wan not, however, satisfied with fixing, on those calculations and estimate', a very low rate of tolls; it went further. It enacted that those low tolls should not be charged on the distance actually travelled en the line, but according to the distance measured on the Ordnance map between the points of entrance and departure, the consequence of which enactment, known as the Geographical Clause. was, that passengers and goods might be carried 50 miles, and yet could only be charged its exceedingly low fares on half that distance. Well, in periods of unexampled pecuniary difficulty the proprietary furnished the means of providing "the great public advantages" for which they were incorporated. By the persons, however, who were certain to reap the greatest benefits from their out lay, even though they themselves got none—by the landowners generally, its chairman has repeatedly told its shareholders, their expenditure was met in a grasping and selfish spirit. Protected and encou raged by the Land Clauses Act—s statute passed by two houses of landlords—they made demands for their land, and ran up law charges so extortionate, that the land has, it appears, cost nearly thrice as much as the original estimate; for in the last half-year's accounts we find that the total amount paid for land and coin position up to the 31st of December last was stated be be 1,168,9071. 10s. 7d. While, however, the preliminary expenses and the mat of land so far exceeded the parliamentary est 4 mates, on which the tolls were fixed, the wain time. selves have, it is understood, been substantially ene anted within these estimates; and there is rimy reason to believe that the line will yet be made fie 30,0001. a mile, or one-half less than the silage roost of the No rth-Western. The line has, our readers know, been for some the in operation in Lincolnshire, and with the greatest advantage to its inhabitants. On the one hand, it ban opened up new markets for the produce they before grew, and encouraged them to enter on the cultivation of produce previously un known on a large scale • and on the other, it has improved the quality of the apply and reduced materially the cost of some of the prime necessaries of life. Lincolnshire is now 'ap plying the great manufacturing towns with grain and vegetable', such as carrots and turnips; and London with large quantities of dead meat; and in return coal is tarnished to it from the fine coal field of South Yorkshire at a induction of probably 20 per cent. on the former coat of an inferior article, an advantage which, it is to be hoped, will soon be extended to Leedom. By lbws advantages the value of land in Lincoln. shire (and Its owners, as we have seen, pines a tole. 'ably high value on it) hes been maintained, if not in ; and its great proprietors largely benefited. Experience, however, soon proved that the tolls originally granted to th e Lincolnshire Railway were not remunerative on the increased expenditure par liament and the squires had forced them into, baeel their original estimates. The Manchester, Shepttle and Lincolnshire, of which Lord YARBOROUGH chairman, accordingly applied to the legislature fre e i and obtained powers to increase their tolls. Natu rally enough, the Great Northern claimed for its pa pristary the increase given to that line. To this, however, the railway oommlneioners objected : and on their objection the application was Wand to the -rate of toil, of the North Western, and to the repeal of the geographical clause. To this seasonable proposition the Hones of Commons assented without hesitation ; and so also did the Lords' committee, to which the bill was re fined. Thus motioned, the bill stood for a third reading in the Lords last week. On the third read ies being moved b 7 Lord WEARNCLUTE, an opposi tion suddenly manifested itself; and the motion was ed until the great Lincolnshire shire landowners should present. So summoned, they appeared on Tuesday evening, and opposed the WONSAN of tolls rendered necessary by the enormous sums paid for land. Happily, however, the desire to have produce carried without profit to the company was defeated, but only by a majority of nine votes; and so the Lords have decided that the Great Northern may have profit on the millions it has been induced by the legislature to spend to realise " greet publics ad vantages." But what a system it is, which first mulcts com panies of 600,0001. for the opportunity of benefiting the country, then compel, them to pay three times the real value of the land they revive, and at lest makes it dependent on the votes of nine peers whether the produce of the surrounding country shall be car ried with or without profit ! No wonder that under the influence of such a system, railways suffer and shareholders get reduced dividends! FRANCE. PARIS, TUISDAT Evenixo. The sitting of the Amenably to-day was looked for ward to with much eagerness, in consequence of the stormy close of yesterday's debate, and the expected protest of the Mountain. Groups formed about the hall,talking with much animation of the incident of yes terday. The atones of M. Emile de Girardin was re marked. It was not known it he had determined to adhere to his original intention of resigning. Great agitation reigned in the Mountain, and a sheet of paper signed numerously, doubtless the protest, was peeved from hand to hand. It was still further signed in the Chamber by members of the Left who had not been present at M. Lemardeley's. The majority were still. M. Rouher stood smiling amid his colleagues. M. Cremieux was the first who spoke. He said that yesterday the Minister of Justice, in speaking of the condemnations incurred by certain journals, alluded to the juries which had given those verdicts as a de footles institution, which placed the right in the minority instead of the majority, and was weak and irresponsible. The Right had applauded these opinions. M. Bandin then said, " Yon attack the fundamental law." M. Rouher replied, " These con demnations were pronounced the day after a social convulsion which I shall always consider as a dis astrouscatastrophe." Now when the minister of justice attacked the institution of juries, and a minister of the republic insulted the republic from the national tribune, the censure was a just castigation ) for each conduct, but the president of the I Assembly had not even been induced to call the minister simply to order. Against such an attack, sheltered by such an indulgence, he and his friends thought it was their duty . to offer the most energetic protest. Here M. Cremieux, whose voice was drowned in the clamour of the Right, presented the protest of the opposition. The president refused to receive it, alleging that he could only take motions, petitions, and demands for addressing interpellations. Here M. Barthelemy St. Hilaire occupied the tribune, but was driven from it by the president, who said that the Assembly bad adopted the proces-verbal, and pawed to the order of the day, which was a bill of local interest. After the adoption of this the debate re-opened upon the law of the press, for the discussion of the separate articles. The first article related to the caution-money. M. Vicroa HIIOO said—Although three truthe, which are the bass of all democracy, received on the 3lst May so grave a check, it is always time to bring them to the recollection of a legislative assembly, for the future is always . at their petal die- These three truths are the sovereignty of the people, universal suffrage, and the liberty of the press: these three things constitute our public rights, and nee's earily consolidate themselves in unity, and this country is • republic. Where these three things are found, a republic may exist even under a monarchy; where they are absent or rejected, there is • monarchy or oligarchy, even under a republic; and in such circumstances may be witnessed the monstrous phenomenon of a govern ment repudiated by its own functionaries. Then do men of the soundest judgment begin to doubt of revolutions which produce such exalted ideas and snob little men. (Ap plause on the Left.) [Voice on the Left: "True." Another voice: " You speak of the provisional government."] Revo lutions that we all regard as benefits for the human race. When we see the ministers they produce, they may well be called catastrophes. The three principles of which I have spoken laud mutual:support to each other: you have al ready attacked the two first, and you now come to the third. What is the object of the law ? By attacking the puss, to make a prey of the sovereignty of the people. When I I see this it it impossible that I should not rise sponta measly from my seat and protest. I thought at first that the minister would renounce his project. as he not an &r -etail of arms alresay tarnished against the Fes.? What does he want more, or more powerful? Is not the liberty of the press already sufficiently shackled in the persons of the criers and the bill-stickers, persecuted in the reading-rooms, imprisoned in the persons of the editors? There is but one thing wanting to the production of mind—to be burned alive in the market-place. (Murmurs on the Left: " It will come to that.") Amongst all the obstacles which are opposed to the press, it is told ironically that it exists. How excellent is the law of the printers' license ! It was thought that it was abrogated by the article of the conciaation which pro claims the liberty of the press. It was /a i d that this law of 1814 was thenceforward a nullity, and, if t were not so, the pretended enfranchisement of the press was derisory. It was said after Binjamin Constant, that writing and the press were the same; that the press wen, merely writing carried to its utmost limit of power, and by Gutten berg created into legion. One can understand that for the people of a country truly free, for men possessing . an idea, with a writing desk on their table, to have • printing press in their house, was a right. Doubtless there should be some guarantees, but these guarantees should not be the distinc tion of liberty. Row excellent is the law of the printers' license which, delivers the author to the police, which says the press is free but the printer a slave. In Jane, 1849, a printing office was sacked. I will not inquire by whom. A sommittee was appointed to inquire. I was one of the mem lees. A report was made proposing 75,000 francs as an ndennity. A year passed away, and at length the printer seseleed • letter from the minister, containing, of course, the indemnity. No !—the suspension of his license. This was In sempeneation—ruin at the hands of the government. Are these act guarantees sufficient without this law ? I cannot speak et it coolly. It enchains all thought ; imposes a caution of a new kind on the journals, which may amount at discretion to • monstrous sum, payable in three days. It condemns to ruin a journal not yet proved guilty. It destroys it be tween two modes of escape, and throws it to the jury when it is dead. It favours one portion of the press at the expense of the other. It puts two weights and two measures into the hands of the law. It does all that is possible to lower the glory of France. The speaker went on to say that Pascal, Lafontaine, Montesquieu, J. L Romeau—all the men of genius who have done honour to France, would be affected by the tax—there was not an illustrious page which it did not threaten. M. Hugo then condemned the idea of stamp ing all books published in parts, whether written by dead or living authors. It taxed Corneille and Metiers and all drass plays, and actually ruined the French book trade to the advantage of Belgian and other pirates. It suppressed at Paris upwards of 3001itenry and scientific periodical pub lications. It destroyed ten or twelve great branches of na tional industry ; conceded the privilege of reading to the rich, and deprived the poor of that right ; re-established con. fiss=ll 64 1 and placed the execution before the judgment. 1 4 fra lett H. Peyronnet far behind them, and if ever M. Galwt became • member of the Assembly he trusted that he would deposit on the table a bill of indictment enlist M. Barochs. (Loud murmurs on the Right, applause on the Left.) In so enlightened an age, after three revolutions, there was no other government practicable bat the one that accepted all the developments of social order, and treated liberty of the e se uan auxiliary and not as an adversary. That government should manfully place at the order of the day the fulfilment of all the promises contained in the 13th article of the constitution, and take gradetiav of the realisation of all useful ideas. A retro goverment shall never rule over France. Ind. pendently of the official ministry there were occult ministers.

(Load laughter.) M.

WE announced on Setarday that peace was signed between Prussia and Denmark. Never was word =may misapplied. For that peace will have nothing, we fear, but the signal for the break - WIZ of civil war. The Danish King has 12,000 men 'enacted on the frontier of Jutland, with 18,000 men concentrated in the isle of Alien. To-morrow is the day by which the Prussian troops will have with drawn. And to-morrow, we have no doubt, will wit ness the irruption of the Danes—the rising of the men of the duchies to resist them. And great must be the slaughter, for fierce will be the conflict of the battle-field. Ws cannot but think that European diplomacy, when it did interfere, might have interfered to some l ame humane end than this. We are aware, indeed, that*. British minister, in joining his voice to that of Time and Russia, and in signing the protocol whit we spoke of in a leading article of Saturday, was actuated chiefly byy.e desire to induce both the Dense and the Schleswigers to abstain from strife, and conform their conduct to the wishes of such powerful allies. But the effort is ineffectual and late. Had the King of DENMARK granted the esmo posi tion to the duchies, to which their ancient laws and constitution entitled them, this civil war would have been avoided. The result of the first operations of that war, we firmly believe, will be the defeat of the Daces. Bar the Schleswigers are exasperated by the refusal of any, even the most moderate terms. The King of DEN MARK merely offers an amnesty to those who will desert their cause and colours. And then he is to appoint a mixed commission of Danes and Schiele wigers, men of his own royal choice, to determine what institutions the duchies shall have. Englishmen never submitted to have their rights and constitu tion me trodden under foot, and their brethren the Angles of Schleswig will perish on the battle- field rather than submit to it. And yet their re sistance is vain. For if they repel the Danes, as they probably will do, the Russians are there in numbers to reduce Schleswig, as they have done Hungary, and thus parade their victorious arms on the shores of the Northern Ocean, as well as on those of the Black Sea and the Danube. Is this to be the result of English and French diplomacy, Russian bayonets on the Elder, forbidding constitutional right, and Russianiaing Den mark, under the pretence of un-Germanising it ? Even if peace could be restored, and the question settled by such violent means, though it was at the expense of the happiness and liberties of a noble po pulation, it would still be something. But there is no prospect of the kind. Russian and Danish troops may subject Schleswif. Bat Holstein is a land of the German confederation, which Germany cannot per mit them to overrun. An especial article of the treaty of peace forbids it to be so overrun. It stipulates that the German confederation must be called on to restore peace in Holstein, and not to hand it over, like Schleswig, to the despotic power of the King of DEN MARK, but to see that its old and free institutions be given it by the duke. Bat with the Holeteiners enjoying independence, will the Schleswigers ever rest under Danish tyranny ? Will not the question be for ever open, and men's minds so galled, that their whole thoughts will be, when the next war or re volution may arise in Europe, in order that they may take advantage of it ? We do most emphatically cry out and repeat, that the subjugation of these duchies by military force, and above all, by a Russian military force, will not settle anything, will not render Denmark either stronger or more compact, and will attain not one of the desired ends. With the Russians at Copenhagen or in Schleswig, there can be no constitutional government there, no more than in Hungary. And the question has r ally become one of despotic government or repre sentative institutions. Is England to enforce the one, sr to recommend the other ? We are not of those who wished England to inter *re in the Danish question. Whilst the Tunes and the Aberdeenites cried out that a fleet should be sent, and the King of Dxsmeax be aided by it to reduce his rebellious subjects, we begged to recommend Iso interference at all for or against the King of DENMARK or his subjects. But let us protest I against a monarch overthrowing the old institutions and liberties of his country, and persisting to do so, merely because he has got Russian counsel and Russian agents at his back. Our moral support on such a question and such a country as that, is of para mount force and importance ; and would go a great way both to dissuade the King of DENMARK of his despotic obstinacy, and the Prussian government of say wish to enlarge its league at the expense of Denmark. The question is fraught with danger. And that danger can only be removed by preventing any re currence to violence or war. North Germany at present has a fair chance of maintaining its inde pendence and developing a system of constitutional government. Prussia, however it may have aban doned Schleswig, still maintains a hold front *giant both Austria and Russia, insists on persevering in its Union and its Erfurt parliament, and also beide that Holstein shall be respected as part of the Olefederation. In either state °b= the presence of a Russian army in De met lead to the most serious conseseemses. If Bassin be successful, if she carry her point, and sassed in intimidating and despotiming North Germany, then England, her liberal tendencies, prin ciples, and institutions, will have not a friend in Europe. There will not be adry spot for the dove to rest amid the general deluge of despotism. On the other hand, if Russia is resisted, she can only be re sisted by calling forth the popular sentiment and the popular power. And of this we may guess the con sequences. We, therefore, implore the British govern ment to interfere, ere it is too late; give advice to the King of DENMARK to trust more to conciliation than subjugation, and to a due respect for the an cient rights of his subjects, rather than to a display or use of military power in Holstein for tyrannical and arbitrary purposes. To judge from recent instances in this journal, railway meetings are not li k e l y to opass off more peaceably in August next than they did in Feb ruary last. For at the late assemblies of the Man chester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, of the Yorkshire and Lancashire, and of the South Eastern companies, there was just as mach violence, intemperance, and disturbance, and as many outrageous charges and foolish motions as followed the sudden burst of rail way anarchy some two years ago. No doubt it is very painful and distressing to have dividends drop from 7to 2 per cent.,—to have the legality of preference shares contested and dis puted, lawyers giving opinions the most opposite and couffieting in the Fifths of this Company, and the Thirds of that Incorporation, and bills carried through parliament to raise additional millions by still further depressingthe original stock. But passion and vitu pnation, scandalous accusations, and attempts to convulse railway directorates are not, it is quite ob vies', the most likely means of retrieving sinking fortunes. And the rush to tho spirit closet, after the rase has struck, is almost of a piece with the coarse the more violent of railway shareholders pursue whenever they meet their directors. himself personally alluded to ben roes and said that thi i attacks of DI. Hugo made ao mpulsion upon him.) But he woull combat with all his m4ht the pretensions of the Jesuitical party, which sought support from Voltairians, who laughed at then, and from beakers, mostly Join, whom that partly would willingly °email to the dunes. H. did not, however, fear them. The Jesul'e were like night birds who attempted to fly in noonday. (Lauttliter.) Id. Victor Hugo, in eundasion, declared that all thetaorts of that party would be unavailable to destroy the human mind, which wen as subtle se light, and as inacessaible as the sun. M. Hugo, having descended from the tribune, was Bur rounded sad complimented by his friends of the Mountain. Mier a short interruption, M. BATOTI rose to develop an amendment to the ant article. " Conformably," be said, to the principle of liberty, equality, and fraternity, the feadamental basis of our repub lican constitution of 148, —conformably to the very essence of universal suffrage, which implies the liberty of the press and speeeb,—in virtue of the 9th article of the constitution, which proclaims that liberty by declaring that citisene pos sess the right of manifesting their opinions by means of the press or otherwise, and that the exercise of that right has no other limits than the rights or liberty of othen and public security; whereas that right, Was guarantied, cannot be curtailed by restrictions on the liberty of the press, I propose to the Assembly to vote the following counter-project The decree of the 9th of Argue, 1848, and the Artie. 8 of the law of the 27th of July, 1849, are abrogsvd. From the let of April, 1850, the conionnensent of newspapers is abolished." _ _ A division on this amendment having been called for, there appeared—for the amendment, 197; again it, 438. The amendment was accordingly declared to be rejected. The Assembly next rejected an amendment of M. Funny, who proposed that, until the promulgation of the organics law of the preel, the cautionnement of the journals and periodical publications should remain u it stood fixed by the law of the 9th of August, 1848. M. Cumuli/Limn subsequently moved that every journal should appear with the signature and under the personal responsibility of the chief editor.—liejeeted. The result of the sitting was the adoption of the first four paragraphs of the Ist article of the law, and the reference of the remainder to the committee. Three or four amendnients,of no interest, were succes sively rejected; and the eitting broke up without fur ther incident. In the course of the debate, M. Rouher, having oc cupied the tribune to speak against en amendment proposed by M. de la Rochette, wu received with tre mendous uproar by the Mountain. For a quarter of an hoar such a noise wumado that the minister could not be heard. At length, after several energetic at tempts of the President to restore order, the greater put of the Mountain retired from the Assembly, and M. Rmher was allowed to speak. M. Fould stated in the committee on the press law that he was ready to abandon the fiscal provisions of the law in exchange for a tax upon paper, which would be certainly far more profitable to the treasury. The committee of initiative has declared against taking into consideration the motion of M. Caatillon, in favour of drawbacks on French wines and spirits. The Journ,.l de Rouen states that the new electoral lists contain for that town, up to the present time, only 8,300 electors. In 1848 there were there for the first election 27 , 919 electors, and 1849, 23,842. The diminution in the first numba is now 19,619. The police have commenced a campaign against semnambulism, under which title a swarm of charla tans swindle the simple public. Yon cannot take up a paper without finding advertisements with respect to the extra-lucidity of half a dczen damsels, who pro fees the power of curing all diseases, indicating the whereabouts of stolen goods, and diving into past, present, and future for the solution of all riddles and riddance of all ills. M. Carlier, it seems, is about to open a general battue on these C aseandras, and sweep them, bag and baggage, out of Paris. The report of M. Berryer on the budget of expen diture for 1851 was distributed yesterday in the As sembly, and it is supposed it will be put on the order of the day for Monday. The committee have not in troduced any important modification in the project of government, founded as it is on the bases of the budget of 1850. The report commences with the ministry of the marine, in which important reforms are con sidered necessary. I extract from the report a portion relative to the ministry of war and the effective of the army for 1831: "The state of our colonies and of the increase of military forces in some countries of Europe, the necessity of maintaining order and security in Paris and the departments, render necessary the maintenance of the army in nearly the same force as at the time of the vote of the former budget. In the first instance, the minister proposed to fix this at 384,240 men and 85,706 horses. This has since been increased by the augmentation of the gendarmerie mobile by 1,683 men, and in his rec tified project of budget the minister demands the creation of 461 new brigades of horse and foot gendarmerie. The steam-frigate Mogador is arrived at Toulon from Naples, bringing despatches and discharged sea men. The French neat shows no signs of stirring from the bay, although the admiral had received despatches by the Grondeur. It is repotted that French mediation has been accepted by England in the Neapolitan affair. Ships from Toulon and Mar seilles are subjected to a quarantine on the Italian coast. At Naples this quarantine is of eight days. The steamer Dauphin, from Civita Vecchia brings no news. The state of things at Rome was dismal. No terra is assigned to the stay of the French troops, which are concentrated at Rome and Civita Vecchia. It was thought that sooner or later the Austrians would occupy the whole country. Young Walker has been examined by several phy sicians, who have pronounced an opinion in common that he labours under mental alienation. It is sup posed that he will be sent to the hospital of Bicetre. BOURF.E. For Amount. PAM , JULY 9. For I. Money. :Opening 'Highest. Lowest.

PRUSSIA. BERLIN, JrLY 7. The ratifications of the peace with Denmark were exchanged last night. The Landeeverwaltung in Flensburg ceases to exist at once. No parties are pleased with the treaty except the duchies. The press of Berlin is very bitter in its attacks on the go vernment. The army of the duchies will amount to 40,000 men. The head-quarters are to be removed to I Rendsburg. The melancholy news of Sir R. Peel's death has arrived. His death is generally felt as a great European lose.

The last financial report of income and expendi ture shows on the first quarter of the present year a deficit of 18 millions florins, making for the whole year one of 72 millions. The army alone has swal lowed up, in the three months to which the report refers, the enormous sum of 31,380,000 florins. The annual military expenditure, therefore, still amounts to 126 million florins. This melancholy picture of continually increasing debts seems at Let to have had some effect on the minds of the mi nistry, for they intend at once to proceed with a reduction of the army. The reduction is to be commenced with the baggage-trains, and to be continued until 80,000 men have been lopped off. Whether the necessary state for carrying out this wise resolution will be taken at once is doubtful, for the ministerial measures generally remain a long time on parr before they are really executed.
