HAYINU devoted six eights to slander of the people, the anti-Iteforwers of the House of Com mons have thought fit to allow the Government Bill t be read a second time without a divide& In Cie often adjourned and resumed debate, whisk began the third week in March, and has only ter urinated with the first week in May, no device his been left unemployed which might tend torreate suspicion of the working dames in the aim& of those who now enjoy a narrow monopoly of the privileges of citiaenship. Utterly regardless of the consequences certain to follow from the use of Iftnguage so opprobrious and insulting to millions of intelisgent and industrious men, the Tory oppo sition have persisted in stimulating by their cheers the unarms°, of every species of abuse and vituperation of popular habits, aims, and root es, with the avowed object of searing a majority of the Legislature into refusing the too moderate demand made on behalf of the unenfranchased many. Luxury and license must not be encroached upon by poreity and toil. People who lived in 61. houses were comparatively poor, and therefore they must be positively venal ; they had compa ratively little time for intellectual improvement, and therefore they most be treated as though they were positively inoapshle through ignores** of distinguishing between political right and wrong. The floodgates must be kept feat shut against an blamed and improving people. What mattered it that education had so increased that the men of our day were ten times better informed on the rights and duties of society and of individuals than the',.. fathers were thirty years ago f it was all the mote necessary on that account to resist their claim,; for being more intelligent, and having greeter means of intercommunication, and • settled habits of peaceably combin ing together, they would be less likely to become the dupes of faction. Whet wilt tried it that commercial prosperity, combined, with facilities of emigration, had lightened the load on labour's mart, and sweetened the temper of toil ; it was all the more needful to smite its patient ambition in the face, and humiliate its honest pride of independence. If the industrious classes of England were a barbarous and brutalised mob they could not have been spoken of in terms of acorn and distrust more undtiguised than they have been by the reckless men who call themselves Go:co:natives, and by the half-doses renegades who continue to skulk about the camp of Lib,- , • To hear these madmen talk a stranger might iniagnw that by them, and them alone, the buithens of the country were borne, its camps re cru:t.•d, its fleet manned, its wealth created, and its tranquillity preserved. The question being—not whether any man who contributed to imperial or Meet taxation, as the bead of a family pee i ismently living in one particular place, should hat• a voice in the election of those who ruled him—but whether one in every ten or treiy twenty such men should be graciously palliated to add his suffrage to those of his wealthier neighbours ; a loud and long-continued shout of insolent defiance and implacable anti pathy is raised ; hereditary corruption and inca pacity is told to tremble for its safety, and all the meat, and churlish sentiments of the middle classes are prayed in aid of the maintenance of dominion by caste, by the CaelLS and the MONTatlUs, the Worts* and the B►an N. 'KJ., et hoc Tuna oth,te. Yet, as if to prove the cow ardliness of this whole sal: and indiscriminate vituperation of unrepre sented and loyal clannaLts of the smallest awed of tardy justice, when challenged by the calm but eloquent voice of Mr. Ciroetoxe to take upon themselves the noponaibility of reject ing the Bill, these caluninistore of the people sicink from the perfornamice of what they have been trying to persuade each other all this time we, a nuolifest duty, and suffer the Second Reading to be taken without a division. 11" hat is the moral of this revolting tale 1 It is twofold. In the first place, it is conclusive u to th« power of the Administration to keep their promise if they will of passing a substantial new mile .4 Reform this session. The Bill of 11131 lad much greater difficulties to overcome, yet it wa. carried late in the summer thrteigh the Co. mons, and IVY only arrested ui its prognosis by the a:mutating obstinacy of the Loris, who in tie 161- were content to be called uff by the Court from their senseless oppuiftee tuner believed that the pressed, BA; ;,. danger of foundering in the Up* , Lord GREY might try to do if he bed there, we cannot tell ; but following the majority of his own personal co.. being either in office Ise iihatified closely with those who are. Lord Dens; on his put, haws better than to send his followers in the House of Commons to the hustings with the disastrous cry against them that reduced the Conservative party in 1831 from one-half of the Lower House to less than one-third of it at a single blow. So carefully has this game been played up to the present time that hardly any one of the five and-twenty members put forward to vilify and calumniate the people as an ignorant, impo verished, corrupt, and " unaccustomed multi tude," will he found to have had seats liable to be endangered in the struggle : nearly all of them being nominees for close counties or for close boroughs. Whenever the next general election we shall doubtless find those conservative members who have something like a town or open county constituency blandly repudiating the senti ments they have been cheering of late at West minster, and once more seeking to win the garages of a too credulous people by professing as they . did last year an intense admiration ei the virtues of the working claws and a ma& readiness to enfranchise them. Well, then, if this be 20 palpably the Derbyite game, Ministers will have no excuse if they do not out /day and baffle it. Once in committee, they can make the shufflera and the slanderers part company by compelling them to divide on each important clause ; and with substantial majorities in favour of the more important provisions of their Bill, they need not entertain much apprehension of its being rejected in the Lords. But there is another and much graver moral appendant contingently to the legis lative tale just concluded. If in either House, or on any pretence, the present too moderate mea sure should be rejected, it will be manifestly attributable to the anti-national and truly revolu tionary language held on the part of the Tory opposition. That language is now thought of only with the indignation due to wanton insult. It is regarded but as the swaggering of slander and the raving of political delirium tremens. Should it tarn out to be of more serious import, should it prove to be but the inconsiderate expression of a deliberate purpose—should the clamour of the lobby and the calumnies of the House prove to be but the signals of a concerted plot against the elicaewledged rights of the people—it will behove them to take other counsel than that which they have hitherto resorted to, in order that they may pat an end once and for all to the power that will have drieen them to bey. - Coiasal Pearoeby. a • - The Deane d Kent left Bnakingbain Palace yesterday afternoon, and retained to her reldence, Fromm Howe, Windier, attended by Lady Sara L.

M4l INTELLIGENT 'G s INSURRECTION IN SICILY. Garibaldi, it appears, has not gone to Sicily. ite was going, and had taken a passport for America as a blind, but, aocording to a private letter, Count Cavour persuaded him to abandon his project. • The A rnuntia of Turin publishes an analysis of Hazzini's proclamation to the Sicilians. In calling upon them to rise, he mays : " I was for unity before I was a republican : that is the reason why I am now ready to sacrifice my own ideas in favour of a loyal and national monarchy. Let all the peoples of the Peninsula become one people. Vive Victor Emmanuel, King of Italy !—Sicilians, the hour has come !—To arms in the name of Italy! "Ginsarrn Mazzuri." The Paris Pays, which at first made light of the Sicilian insurrection, and regularly announced every evening for the last fortnight that it was altogether put down, now complains that every- 1 thing on the subject is "contradictory, vague, dark, mysterious, and that it is impossible to know how matters really stand." It proceeds to quote the following letter from the Semaphore oP Mar seilles : " PALERMO, APRIL 25. "We are in a complete revolution. Palermo has been in a state of siege ever since the 4th, and the whole country has risen. Every night there are combats between the poor peasantry and the Neapolitan soldiers, who burn and pillage wherever they go. A great proportion of the nobility is in prison, and the remainder wish to leave the noun , try, but the police refuse them passports. We are at any moment liable to be pillaged, by thirri, and not by the peasants, as the police en deavour to make foreigners believe. Fourteen na -1 fortunate men were lately shot for a conspiracy ; but only three of them were really guilty. It is impossible to visit one's friends without a pass from' the police. Any man who says that the soldiers commit excesses is at once consigned to prison. All Sicily is up and is arms. Where the money comes from no one knows. These poor peasants were never so rich ; they have four tarins a day." GENOA, Fumy. An English man-of-war has arrived here, bring ing news from Marsala to the 24th ; Trapani to the 25th ; Palermo to the 25th; and Messina to the 27th ult. The insurrection continued. One regiment had refused to march from Palermo, as the soldiers, immediately on leaving the city, would be exposed to the fire of the insurgents. Five of the principal inhabitants had been sub mitted to the judgment of the civil tribunal of Girganti. The arrests continued at Messina. Marsala was tranquil. Three Neapolitan steamers were watching the coast. NAPLES, MAT 1. The city is tranquil. PlioN %OP' 5. •184 81 EXPittlep • (nom on OWN 'ROM PARIS. mcrr.) PARIS, FamAT Emma. I hear from Turin that Count Cavour cannot reckon upon a majority of more than 10 votes in favour of the treaty of cession of Savoy and Nice. I The °pieties Nationale supports with recent de tailed and positive assertions the opinion it ex pressed yesterday that General de Lamoricibre very likely be overthrown by Cardinal Antonelli. Amording to the letter of its Roman cor respondent, dated April 29, the French genbral, the old liberal and republican, is now, out of the abundance of his new-born religious zeal, all for violent measures and uncompro mising resistance to revolutionary principle, represented by Sardinia ; and the wily Cardinal, hitherto the incarnation of bigotry and despotism uses the most moderate language, preaches concill;- tion, and recommends the Pope to come to an un derstanding with the sovereign of Northern Italy ! The Pope was about to banish Baron Gavotti and Prince Gabrielli (the latter of whom is a member of the Bonaparte family), for having written a letter of congratulation to Victor Emmanuel, but Cardinal Antonelli, of all the members of his Holi ness's council, protested against the step, and his advice was followed. The letter adds that negotia tions are already going on with another French general, who has offered to take Lamoriciere's place. It is stated in Court circles that the Emperor and Empress will pass the latter part of this month at Fontainebleau, and that their trip to Savoy will be postponed till June. M. de Chassiron, councillor of state, has just returned from a government mission to the East, and has submitted to the Emperor a memorial on the state of affairs in China. M. Ansebne Pectin, who was one of the pioneers of the annexation of Savoy, and who will certainly have his reward shortly, writes to the papers to deny that he is a candidate for a seat in the Corps Legislatif for a Savoy district. "No doubt," he says, " our new countrymen are now Frenchmen, like ourselves ; but is it not desirable that at this first election Savoy should be represented by Savoyards ?" The fact is that M. A. Potetin ex pects something better than a deputy's uniform, which only brings in 4001. a year. He will think himself ill-used if he be not made a prefect. The Rents continues firm. It closed at yester day's price, 71fr. 30e. for cash, and for acoount at 71fr. 35c., with a rise of 10c. Mobilier remains without change. The railways were depressed, on account, it is said, of the falling off in the weekly receipts as compared with last year ; but this is a very futile reason, because the differenoe is ac counted for by the extraordinary profits made in the spring of 1859, by the transport of troops to Italy. Orleans and Northern and Western closed without change. Eastern fell 3fr. 75e. ; Lyons, Sfr. 75c. ; and Southern, lfr. 25c. The /ad4peudensee says that the Courrier de Paris, which has long gone begging for a proprietor and an editor, has at length fallen into the hands of M. Emile de Oirardin, and that the government has ratified the nomination of M. Duvernois as editor. MX. .EVA4SS, SATIT .". 16411-11 1 '. ft. Vija tale [ tit Court. tI. ~ U wee ,in apy , ' i , owe.

Our arsenal has never been so busy as within the last few days. Three thousand men are fortifying Bologna, and here we are casting cannon, manu facturing rise. , and preparing all necessaries for • campaign. We do not wish to be found unprepared. Nevertheless, it is true that the army is in a state of transition, and a peace of two years is wanted to complete the new formation ' • but desirable as peace may be, we should not blench if attacked. Enthusiasm is a good substitute for perfect disci pline, the new elements of which—for I am speak ing of course of the new system—our troops are be ginning to acquire. I may even venture with truth to say that they have made good pro-] grass, and then the artillery and the horses for the cavalry are ready. In order to reorganise the cavalry which showed what it could do at Montebello, our Minister ofWar has appointed Signor Wagner, a retired officer, its instructor. There are few men in Europetbat understand equi tation as a science as well as he does. Count Cavour rejoins the King to-daT in Tus cany, and will accompany him in Ins solemn entrance into Bologna.

Thonvenel enters historically into the question in order to establish that Switzerland has no legal rights. This despatch, which is dated as far back aathe 7th of April, throws no new light upon the question. It concludes with the following declaration: " France, which succeeds to the territorial rights of Sar dinia in virtue of a regular transfer, has conformed to the spirit of treaties by offering to confer with the Powers represented at the Congress of 1815 on the clauses relating to the neutralisation, and the can which she has taken, when principles did not impose it on her as • law, to de clare that she would also come to an understanding with the Helvetic Confederation, proves in the clearest manner that she accepts, so far as she is concerned, the complete execu tion of Article 92 of the General Act of Vienna. Nothing more can be required of the Emperor's government ; and to admit that, if circumstances should render that provision applicable, it would seek to elude it, would be equivalent to declaring that the Emperor's government would nut show any greater respect for the neutrality of Switzerland, whose territory, accessible to France as well as to Germany on many important points of her frontiers, is only protected from all attack by the authority of a superior right placed under the protection of Europe, and founded on the mutual interests of the adjacent states." The following second note on the same question considers the matter in a strategic point of view : PARIB, April 18. We have examined the pretensions of Switzerland on the affair of Savoy, as regards legal right, and we have shown how slight is their foundation in that respect. Is the Federal government more in the right when it invokes strategic interest.? Did the Congress of Vienna intend to insure to the Helvetic Oonfederatiou a great military peat. Hon in the centre of Europe ? Was that the special aim it Malin view in extending the regime of neutrality to &portion of Savoy ? Thetis now the point we propose to examine. The document& of the Congress of Vienna acquaint us with the real notions of the Powers on the mission they assigned to Switzerland in the European system. Doubtless they desired to give bee the best possible frontier, but in ; promising her to interpose to that effect they took care to define her part. What they slaked of her was not to keep up a numerous fume, to arm such or such a position, or to construct such or such works to bar certain passages. The Congress consideeed it. engagements obligatory towards Switzerland only so long as she presented to Europe by her cantonal institutions and the nature of her federative constitution, a sufficient guarantee for her fitness to main. tale her internal tranquillity ; and it was in such conduct that the Congrims beheld the means of the Confederation making the neutrality of its territory respected. We do but rep ort here, almost textually, the consideration of the com on the affairs of Switzerland of the date of the 16th of January, 1815. The Powers signified to Switzerland, then, that the true guarantees fur Helvetic neutrality lay as much in the wis dom and prudence of her government as in their own en. pienieuts. - Moreover, it Is sufficient to look at these frontiers as they were traced by the Congrees, to be convinced that it could not have acted under the inspiration of any other idea. Switzerland is open to Germany and to France at all points. She is open to Germany by the lake and town of Constan ce, and by Shaffhaueen, partly enclosed in the Grand Duchy el Baden. She is open to France from Basle to Geneva, prim cipallv by the Pays de Get, which put. us within a few hours &steno° of the latter town. In this state of things, if you abstract the neutrality of the Helvetia Confederation, France , to have an . sasy en- trams into the territory of Geneva, has no need of poisons * the GULL* Faucigny, or the (envois JUGS. Those then, were nut neutralised with a view to testify rOo lim aredemtion's line of defence. If the powers had pro posed to themselves that end, the beet, or rather the only means of attaining it, as far at least as regards Geneva, would have been to impose on France the sscrifice of the Payed. Gel, sad to have attached it to that canton. Why did not the Oangyess do so? It was because military ag greadieenseeta were looked on precisely es contrary to the political destiny prepared for Switzerland-- a peaceable destiny better assured by the mutual engagements on which it reposes than by more solid means of defence, sad more important strategic positions. The neutraliaation of Chablais, Faucigny, and the Gs nevois really forming no part of the military system of Switzerland, could it have been looked on in tire least, in MA as being of greet interest in Europe? Will it be said that those provinces were destined to ekes to us the route fie Italy by the Valais and St. Bernard? But the principle of Swim neutrality was itself sufficient to ensure that re mit; and if it is hinted that the powers could anticipate that it might perhaps be violated by us, is it admissible that he that case we should have been deterred by the neutrality of ilertheerkedl When we get on the domain of hypothesio why forget that there are two routes leading from France to fns Tel* sad that $ French army, which had not been abre m ws* for public right, would ha reached that quae se well by the right as by the left bank of the of Geneva? The seeleelisatiec of Savoy brought, then, no serious guarantee to Helvetic neutrality, nor to the petition as lugged to it is the political system of Europe, and the mo tives for it must evidently be sought for in another class of entaiderateass. The very history of the negotiations to which that arrangement gave rise loaves no doubt as to Its tree object. The neutrolieation was demanded by the Oa bfeet of Turin in the interest of Sardinia. The Sardinian governmeut, in case of a war between France and Austria, desired to place the moat exposed partials of the territory of Savoy out of reach of invasion ; and on this point we cannot do better than reproduce a passage from the me morial of the Swiss government of November lost : "It was in the interest of the King of *inhale," says the federal government, "to place the portions o f Savoy approxisnating to evriteeriand under the pnitectism of the neutrality of the latter country. The topographical posi. Moo of a part of Savoy is, ia point ef fact, of such a nature that it could not well be defended fmni the sole of Pied. 'moot .ittaris Is so passible communication between th pwtnrea o t S avo y and of Piedmont but by the pubes of Most Genie and the Little St. Bernard, the restitution of the Valois to Switaerland intercepting the route by the St. Bernard simultaneously with that of the Simplon. An enemy's force, penetrating into the lower districts of Savoy by the valleys of the Isere and Fier, could, in consequence, cut off the retreat by Mont Cenis and St. Bernard of auv Piedmonteee troops posted farther to the north. It would prove, moreover, a singularly difficult teak for the Pied. ruontese, in case of aggression by a powerful military stat e , to defend the provinces of Savoy, which are open to inva sion and utterly unprotected. As often as history M 0144 the conflicts between France sad the Howe of Savoy, w e Bed that the Savoyard territory has invariably formed the •pereary object. To these considerations must be attributed iha Erin et Sardinia that these provinces of Savoy adjaceut to Switirerised should be placed under the protection of e neutrality recognised and guaranteed by Europe.

THOUVIENEL. INDIA. We have received papers from Bombay to April 11. The 'nest important incident of the fortnight is the publication of certain strictures of the Madras government upon Mr. Wilson's pro posed financial measures. The Bombay Times says : In a minute remarkable for the quiet strength which per vades it, Sir Charles Trevelyan records his emphatic dissent from the manures now before government, and protests in common with Mr. Maltby that the three tremendous taxes of which the budget animists are at once needless, and impossible of exaction, but at the wet of another rebellion. There is no man of our times so much entitled to be heard with deference upon the subject of Indian finance as Sir Charles Trevelyan, and there is no conceding the fact that the minute has already brought the budget into wide discredit, and threatens to unite all classes in opposition thereto. It is beginning very generally to be felt that in our haste to escape the incompetent uffininiatra , tion of the Legislative Council we have too readily accepted the confident assurance of Mr. Wilson ea sufficient gua rantee of the wisdom that was henceforth to guide our finances. There is of course no greater liking for taxation in India than elsewhere; but with Sir Charles Trevelyan 's warning in our hands, that a revision of the estimates and reduction of the native army is all that is required to make our income equal our expenditure, while we avoid the odium and disaffection that will arise from the im position of them new taxes, we may be pinioned for giving this timely protest our cordial support. Sir Charles Trevelyan points out very Jamey that no plea of emberramment can be urged in defence of the present measures, while the cash balances in the country amount to nearly 20,000,000 f. sterling, and afford ample room to cover any deficit of the coming year, though it should finally be found to equal the 6,500,0001. apprehended by Mr. Wilson. But in point of fact the whole issue mimes here. The Madras Governor affirms confidently that, under an effective revision, the present income of India will be found equal to its expenditure. Owing to a radically faulty in which, from the very lint, the expenditure of re te ix7=try has virtually been without control or check, our military expenditure has at last grown up to the enormous amount of twenty millions sterling, accqnling to Mr. Wilson's rough figures. The annual expenditure of so vast a sum, without previous estimate or post revi sion of any effective kind, is a truly monstrous state of ftri; and the present period of embarrassment suggests s city the propriety of Sir Charles Trevelyan 's oft-reite rated demand, for let it be remembered that this protest is but a repetition of what the Madras Governor has over and over again placed upon record, inn far as it treats of the necessity of imitating the English system of annual esti mates. Instead of finding Mr. Wilson alive to the import ance of the demand, we find him positively countenancing the loose and unsatisfactory system that °ruts, and assuring us that he himself has a "dislike for prospective b=gets.• Would he have ventured to say that in parliament? What was the labour of Humes lifetime but the perfecting of prospective budgets" and eliminating therefrom every shelling of =revised sad needless expenditure! AUSTRALIA. By this arrival we have advioes from Melbourne to March 17, Adelaide to March 19, and Sydney, by telegram, to Marsh 16. At Melbourne the land Bill was still under discussion. Respect ing the gold-fields, the Melbourne Herald says : Since the departure of the last mail there have been com plaints of a want of water all over the gold-fields ; and our accounts are, therefore, not so encouraging as formerlT. We have, in fact, to note a decline for the past mouth the gold received byy escort of 30,413 ounces, as compared with the corresponding month of 1859, and of 34,015 ounces as compared with the corresponding mouth of 1858. The shipments of the last month show • falling off of 3.2,518 ounces as compared with the corresponding month in 1050, and of 1131.17 ounces as compared with the corre sponding month of 1858. The circumstance of the mail eteamer having titled to arrive at her contract time has somewhat inter fared with business. Since the commencement of the pre sent month very few transactions of any magnitude have been completed. There has been another and more power ful reason why our markets have been redness] to a condi tion which has been the subject of general complaint, for confidence has been greatly shaken in consequence of three respectable firms having found it necessary to convene meetings of their creditors. These suspensions have, as usual, given rise to exaggerated apprehensions regarding the unsoundness of trade in this colony ; stud mischievous reports affecting the credit of other houses have been freely circulated, with the customary result. From Adelaide we learn that the elections were still taking place, 16 out of 36 men here having been returned. The following telegram was received at Melbourne from Sydney on March 16 : " Buyers and Learmontli's liabilities are 44,0001., and their &meta 33,0001.

At his death M. eigoigne left a wish that the first offer cirthe whole collection should be male to the Dec d'Aunutle, who instantly closed with it, and the library was removed front Paris to Twickenham. Sonic idea of the importance at tached to M.
