Ws cannot but admire the exuberant charity and expansive foresight of LOUIS NAPOLEON, who, with but an infamies grasp over the empire that he wields, and a tenure of it not worth one year's pardon, still undertakes to transfer and secure to the King of Datenefax some outlying German province. What can Schleswig or Holstein be to the poor straggling President of the French republic ? Yet he, who cannot govern his own provisoes, moo keep pine in his capital with lees then 50,000 men, he undertakes to regulate the fate of fkhleswig, and decide upon the delicate question of Holstein allegiance. One would thick that the claims to French empire were intricate and difficult enough, without the prince who is immersed in them, troubling his cabinet or bruin with the rival claims of AUGUSTENBURO and OLDENBURG to a dachy on the Eyder. It was impertinent enough of the French, who could not frame or fix a government for themselves, pretendirg to do this for the Romans ; bat their undertaking to do this also for the Soh's,- • is something far more impudent and more in • Lou. NAPOLEON, however, is not alone in this gratuitous attempt to settle other people's affairs. The British government too must have a finger in the pie. It manages its own dependencies so success filly. Canada, Ceylon, and the Ceps, and Cepha- Mai& are each models of excellent administration, that we must impart our wisdom to Danes and to Germans. Then our Foreign-office is endowed not only with so much wisdom but so much power. So beset, and worried, and nullified is it by the press, and by parliament, that our Foreign Minister is totally unable to earry into effect any ace of his really liberal and wise purposes. He gets a nominal majority, indeed, is parliament Bat have not the minority hefted him, made him re treat from his pretensions in Naples. in Tunny, in Turkey, and is Greece? When all foreign policy, or anything like a foreign policy, is thus denied to the government, is it merely for the affectation of having, or appearing to have, some p they or influence, that we are to seem to interfere in Schleswig Holstein? We undertake, or affect to undertake, to alter the legal succession in the duchies. And it is boasted at one time that we have transferred Schleswig to the Dann, at another time that we give over Holstein. To accomplish any such thing as this, war will be necessary, nothing less. And dose any one imagine thiiriament or the country would support the Foreign-office, or the whole of the ministerial offices in anything like war, for such objects as the dethronement of the AVOUSTEN- EraG dynasty or the on-Germanising of Holstein ? JOHN BULL will n be got to take interest enough is such a question even fir him to understand it. How the present ministry or any ministry will ever get him to spend a pound sterling thereon passes the Woks of legerdemain. The only excuse, then, of this alliance with the despotic powers, this league signed in common with them, this guarantee of rights to Denmark that Den mark never claimed before, is and can be nothing more than a humbug. There is evidently some one that the aim is to intimidate. The object of Russia is to place her relation, the Duke of OLDENBURG, on the Danish throne, and to make him rule over the united empire. Now the Duke of OLDENBURG has no more right to succeed, before the Dukes of RUGUSTIENBMIG and of GLUMMER°, than the Duke of CAMBRIDGE bad to succeed to the throne of England before Queen VICTORLS. And the signing a protocol to make the Duke of OLDENBURO king of Holstein is just the same as it could have been for France, Austria, and Russia to have said before WILLIAM the POORER'S death, that the Princess Vseroit• should be passed over, and that the Duke of CAMBRIDGE should succeed. These things are done in Russia. And, of course, Russia is impudent enough to attempt them in berserk. But that a Bri.isb and a French government should give their anent and their signature to such a scheme, and for no earthly end or benefit but to curry favour with the big bullying robber power of Rusk, is really incom prehensible. It may be very convenient, nay, desirable, that the King of DENMARK should be King of the Duchies, and should extend his dominions to the Elbe. Bat the notorious and acknowledged law in those regions has been, that the descendant by females might suc ceed in Denmark, but that he might not in Schleswig and Holstein. Such was and is the law. The Salo law may or may not be wise ; but where it has prevailed, when princes and people have been bred op in allegiance to it, surely so solemn and so domestic an institution as a law of succession ought to be changed by the will and no wt of the people, by consultation with the princes set aside, and by fitting indemnities for their giving up their rights. But for foreign powers, powers who have no earthly connexion with the state or kingdom of Schleswig and of Denmark—for Russia, and England, and France, to interfere, and forcibly change at once, with the hey presto! of a protocol, the law of enecession which has prevailed for centuries, is monstrous. It is one of the most un paralleled, iniquitous, end most barefaced outrages ever committed. What should we say to the powers of Europe coming to an agreement and signing a treaty to direct how the crown of these realms was to descend? If there is one thing more than another which belongs sacredly to the people of a country to decide, or at least to have a potent voice in, it is the law of succession to the throne, and the dynasty they are to live under. If any prince or rten'ate was bound to respect this, it was Louis NAPOLEON. And yet he, forsooth, signs a protocol to foist an OLDEN BURG in the place of an AUGUSTENBURG on the throne of the duchies. What such 000 duct and sash pol:cy may be is the case of Lord PALMERSTON we will not say; but, in the case of Louts NAPOLEON, it is one of the most farcical and impudent outrages on nosed. Austria, too, has signed this protocol, bat it is under the reserve of preserving all the rights of the German confederation in Holstein. But one of the rights of the German confederation in Holstein is the keeping up a certain connexion between Holstein and Schleswig. Whether Austria abandons this or not, it is imposbible to say. Her signing the may mean anything or nothing. And so rfly°b this Mt to be the case, that it is even mooted by certain advisers of the Pruesiaa government, whe- that they too might not sign the protocol. This indeed would be the crowning set of what must be either a flagrant iniquity or an egregions force. Tirs position of the aormaihtary p opo k t i oo o f Oibraltar is rather peouliar.

A pollee form sufficient to deal with °plans and stealers" is all that is required. the 18,000 inhabitants of Gibraltar are watched fierce officered by no len than 8 inspectors and rts, under the direction of a police magistrate ector.

The establishment of Gibraltar costs 3,3191. a 2,3301. would cover all its legitimate expenses. The port department is a perfect nest ofjobs. gaardship may serve as an example. The . used for this purpose is her Majeety's ship Samarar of 500 tons, formerly carrying 20 guns.

Now we mu.t say that such a system of jobbing and exaction as we have now indicated more resem bles the fleecing operations of some Raub-realer of the Rhine, then of the o.d sagacious barons who protected the industrious who sought shelter under the shadow of their cutle walls in ages of violet cc and mi,rule. It is most unworthy of the bold " Baron of Giorel tar"—the British government in the year of grace 1850. The system is not only d:ecreditable to the British government, it is detrimeutiel to the British people. We need not go far to seek for proof of this. In 1839 the declared value of British end Irish manufactures and produce imported into Gibraltar was 1,170,7021., into Malta, 125,3381. i • in 1849 the declared value of the same class of commodities imported into Gibraltar 533,4811., icto Malta 3b7,7441. By exacting an ex orbitant revenue hom the civil residen's in Gibraltar, the British government is driving English trade from that important station. Tex Bishop of Wiece r.srea, in kis Trion ial Charge not lug since delivered, has given it as his opinion that the W./Airs clergy in the church of which he is a rich prelate " are the real martyrs of the present day; and, no doubt, there is an amount of devotion, of toil, of perseverance, and of euffering amongst many of that class which richly merits this high episcopal eulogium. There is, for instance, in his lordship's diocese, a parish containine nearly 2,000 people, the great tithes of which belong to the Ecclesiestcal Hospital of Bt. Cross, but wirch have been lewd by its Mann, Lord OUIL7ORD, to the Marquis of WINCIIRSTIER, NM payment of a large floe. These tithes are worth soma 6001. a year. Yet for nearly twenty years past has the incumbent of this parish, Yates,, been allowed by his bishop, by the ecclesiutical improprie.tor at its tithes, and by their noble lessor, to linger and teletexts on an income which does not average, atter ' deducting rates and taxes, 601. a year; and out of that miserable stipend its recipient is expected, by the theo7 and the usual practice of the establish ment to which he belongs, to dispense hospitality, to indulge in charity, to contribute to educe tioe. And theme good works the Rev. Mr. Lune, the incumbent in question, has, to the utmost of his small power, practis ed, without one approving word from his bishop, without even occasional aid from the impropriator of the tithes of his parish, without any assistance from their noble lessee. This man—and there are many others in the same plight in the diocese of Winton—is one of the "real martyrs of the pressat age ; " and entitled is all sympathy. Contrast him with his bishop! His lordship's pen income Le returned at about 12,0001., his net et inn 10,0001. a year; in adkition, he has a fins castle at Farnham, and the largest mansion in St. James's square; he has one so* well provided for to the church; he has another whose benefice, though moderate in income, does not martyrise him; a third is a keeper of some forest, the topping and lopping of which yield revenue; and he has son-in-law oared for and provided for in the establishment. In all this, there is nothing legally wrong . The law entitles Dr. SUMNER to lea 12,0001. a year, sad he takes it; to his castle and his town mensiou,and he resides in them; to premed his Boss and his soncin-law to livings to his gift, and be presents them. That which he can lawfully do, he l ike other bishops, does : neither same nor IMO. Bat what a system it is, where a bishop not only rolls 'to wealth and pomp himself„ but diereses arm feet and competence to his family fur their lives; Whilst he is obliged to confess from the very altar the may of his clergy are from their unrequited seal "the real martyrs of the present age l" In other times, well a sootiest would have been intole rable to a . 1 real" bishop; be would have stripped 'himself of his riches to have fed his clergy; he would have sold his horses, his carriages, his plate,' rather than have witni seed from hie palaces their privations.

On that day, the birth-day of the Emperor, according to an ancient custom, the Austrian national anthem was given by the orchestra of the city in the presence of the officers of the garrison and thousands of civilians: many of the latter expressed their dis approbation by hissing, upon which the commander ordered the gendarmerie and grenadiers to arrest the persons from whom the manifestation had proceeded. Twenty-eight were seized, taken out of the crowd, and conveyed to the barracks of the gendarmerie, were seventeen of them, after a summary trial, were found guilty, and sentenced to be beaten with sticks by the soldiery. A few who were declared by the sur geons too weak to undergo this terrible punishment, were sentenced to be beaten with more slender rods. This shameless and cruel proceeding has excited in Pesth, and one nay well say throughout the whole monarchy, one feeling of indignation, and this not merely on account of the barbarity of the punishment, as because the military authorities have condemned civilians without even the worthless formalities whisk the law provides for a soldier's trial. The of here 1 were at ono* mousers, judge', and executioners.

A gilitary corre spondent of the Wanderer states that in the whole course of his 'rimiest* he never witnessed the in fliction of a punishment equal in severity to this, or one when the strokes were given with such hearty goodwill by the executioners.

THE SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH BETWEEN DOVER AND CALAIS.-FIRST INTERCHANGE BETWEEN FRANCE AND ENGLAND. STEAMS Or DUN EN WEDNESDA.Y EVENING. The interesting experiment of sinking the electric telegraph between this port and Calais, and which is destined to form the 'wore key for it 'tent win munication with the European continent, was practically commenced this morning at half past 10 o'clxk, at which hour the Goliah steam ship, provisioned for the day, and with a crew of some 30 men, was bronchi under weigh within the harbour. There were on board Dr. Reed, Mr. J. C. Wollaston, C. 8., Mr. Campton, C 8., Mr. J. 8.1- wares, Captain Beer, and several icier:title gentlemen. The Gallia rode out to the government pier with her telegraphic tackle and apparatus on board, under a calm sea and sky and a favouring wind. The connexion between the thirty miles of telegraphic wire, one-tenth of an inch in diameter, and encased in a cJvcring of gam per:ha the thickness of a littis finger, and which was coiled round a large cylinder or dram alai iship, 15ft. by 7, was then made good to 300 yards of the same wire encl.med in a leaden tube on shore to prevent it from b-ing bruised by the shingle on the bench, and to enable the erperimenten as they proceeded out to sea to send communication• on shore. The vessel being fully under weigh steamed out at the rate of about three or four miles an hour into the open sea in a direct track fur Cape arum, twenty-one miles across Channel, the nearest landmark to the Eoslials coast, and lying midway between Calais and Boulogne. The wire weighed five tons and the etlinder two. The vessel was pre ceded by Capt Bullock, R.N., of H.M. steamship Widgeon, who accompanied the experimenters m a plot, and who had caused the track of the navigation to be taken to be marked out by a succession of buoys surmounted with flags on the whole route between the English and French roan's. Toe operation of paying out the 30 miles of wire com menced en a signal to the sailors to "go ahead with the wheel " and " pay out the wire," which was continuously streamed out over a roller at the stern of the vessel, the men, at every sixteenth of a mile being bunt; engaged in riretting on to the wire square leaden clumps or weights, of from 14Ibs. to 24th., weight, and which had the effect of sinking the wire in the bottom of the sea, which, on the English coast, has a depth of 30 feet, and varies from that to 103 and 180 feet. As may be imagined, the deck of the Gollob, as she sailed slowly over a serene era way from point to point, presented • busy and animating scene, bad, r the perpetual paying out of the electric line, amid notifications from time to time of its being souk down securely by its aplomb of weights in its oceanic cement of shell mad sand. The whole of the smile( out and sinking was accomplished with great precision and success. Owing to the favourahlosers of the day, the apprehensions of dill cult; to arise from the swell of a spring tide or the swaying of • high wind that might have caused the yew' to dive , ge from its due course and seek shelttr in the Downs, had no likelihood of fulfilment. Various interesting salutations were kept op hourly during the prop. ea of submerging the wire between the gentlemen on bird and Messrs. G. and W. Brett, the original promoter. of the enterprise. The only conjectured difficulty on the route waist • point in mid channel called I the ridge—by the Froneh, • Mbert, tween which and &Rothe; inequality milled . the Vase-both well known end I dreadtd by aavigston—there Is • deep submarine valley, surrounded by shifting sands, the one being reventeen miles is length and the other twelve, and in their vortex not un like the voraeious one of the Odedwin Bands, ship. en 'minter danger sad lose their &echo?' and drifts ; and trolling nets of fishermen ere freqsently lost. Over this physical esefigaration, howevsr, the wire was soomisfully submerged below the roach, it is believed, of either ships' anchor", sea animals, or fishing sets, though it will be curious to know that it withstands the agitation of the wild ander currents and commotion' that are supposed to be the churacteristics of such localitirs.

There c.r. be :a doubt that many of th se petitioners hare ovine in - a court for the purpose of escaping all tt e dor ger • c '_:!, and delays to which a resort to the Cour' of Chtrary must necessarily expose them, and with the obit,' making a good title at &cheap rate to the putet.i3er who might be induced to eLter on the property. But it is said that the comm'ssioriers have ala the property at enormous sacrifices. An in•tar.ce is pointed to where a large property has realized mare than one year's purchase, and reference > r.:lle • o other caws in which fire, ail. or seven year chase only has been obtained. Now, haring art gore through the accounts of all the sales sti. : ler been made up to the 31st of July last, I hare n, c. tation in saying that there is not a sirgle which the estates sold by the commissioners Face brought, looking to the circutnst .tces of he e ,utt:ry and the condition of the properties, a sum equtva lent to their fairly estimated value. That they rave brought anything like the prices which at perio,!s of prosperity the same quentitit e of hind would rea:.o in England, it would be impossible to say. bat when it is stated that on the ge of the mon•h'e ages in Juiy, which included acme very int. rior property and some of the best estates, the amount realised avera,ted close upon sixteen years' purchase, I cannot ttir's any one will consider that the property of Irelar.d is as Lord Glengall declares, in course of confisestion. It is the opinion among persons who watch the silo attentively, that, so far from cootirestion, there his not been a single well-situated property that has not brought fully as mach as could have been ex seed for it. It is admitted that the house property has gone at low rates. All house property in Ireland is greatly depressed in value, and the house property which has fallen into the hands of the commission , re is IN Ft` stinted to have been for the moat part badly situated , and invariably in a dilapidated state. But take will-situated property, and what do you find? Oa the 21st of June the commiesioners sold the estate al M r . Samuel flopping , in the county Math. This was principally a grastng estate, occupied by substan tial farmers, and well circumstanced as regards ad jacent properties. Thee-tate was divided into fourteen lots. The first lot sold for 261 years' purchase, the second 32, for the third fur 203, and for the fourth the pu chaser gave no less than 43 time.; the amount of the present yearly rental. This estate, cormisting of some what more than 4,000 acres. sold for nearly 63,0001.5 result certainly as unlike confiscation es it is possible to conceive. The portions of the Portarlington pro petty which have been brought into the market boo speak of these mot e at l eng th hereafter, I shall not d:s• cuss that sale at present. On the other hand, tho case of the M'Laughln es tate, in the county Mayo , is ver y g enerall y poo rioee l:ed to as a case in which l a nd has been sold at any p It is quite a question how far this particular property is worth any . price. It is situated in the (sooty Mgr), and it is described to me, by a gentl. man who has been over it, as consisting of nothing but a ragza, uncultivated mountain and • considerable tract of seashore. The extent of this property is about 10,0,10 acres. It was held by the Wl.vughlins upon a :ee . for lives, from the Marquis of Sligo, upon p iytunt ahead-rent of 1971. per annum.
