Beyond this, when a Government propounded a large and comprehensive measure of Reform, no one fancied for a moment that it expressed the views or had the appro bation of its authors. Aud Parliaments were not disposed to swallow measures which they felt certain were regarded with distrust, if not with acorn by the very cabinets who offered them. But further still, an Opposition knew that by defeating a largo and oomprohcnsive measure they would overthrow the Government. Their whole art and ingenuity and power were therefore naturally straine 1 to ascertain its faults and to exaggerate their consequences. The only change which we had yet succeeded in engrafting on the act ef 1832 was an extension of the Irish franchise in 1850, introduced as a separate reform, debated without faction, and carried that yotr through both Houses of Parliament. Experience was therefore clear before our eyes as to how success might te, obtained and how failure might be courted. If no other circumstance disqualified the Government to alter the Reform Act by one large and final blow, their re luctance to adopt the ballot would appear to do so. If the ballot were denied, in any measure which affected to dispose of the whole question, the body of the electors who desired it would be in a worse condition then they were at present. But although he was in favour of occasional reform, it did not follow upon that account that he was less ready than the patrons of ambitious schemes to git e effect to the mature opinion of the people. Universal suffrage might be carried by occasional reform. Annual parliaments might be carried by occasional reform. Re-distribution of the seats might be accomplished by that method. The difference between the two was, that crude and comprehen sive schemes disturbed the public mind - without altering the law, whereas occasional reform had led to practical results, and left tho island in tranquillity. And that tranquillity, however valuable in itself, was yet more to be valued as a defence against the hostile Powers (if any such there were) whose opportunity would be in our struggles and divisions ? And here he would remark that the volunteer movement ought not to be suspended or discouraged because France and England wore engaged in a common enterprise, or bound by new commercial treaties, or firm in the ideas of mutual respect for one another. It had first been kindled by the Laureate ; it had been fanned by the exertions of the Press ; and, last of all, Lord Elcho and other men of public spirit, by foundling the Volunteer Association, had endeavoured to perpetuate it. The Secretary at War had lent his high authority and sanction to it. But neither the Laureate, the Press, Lord Elcho, nor Mr. Sidney Herbert had ever roused the country on the ground that an alliance with France no longer to be cultivated. For his part, he thought a French alliance was essential to the country and de sirable for Europe. If you looked towards the North and East you saw a Power whose territory was unlimited, whose Government was central and despotic, whose policy it was to absorb weaker States into itself, and who swayed towards that line by the irresistible desire of Northern populations for those more sunny climes into which aggressive arms could alone introduce them. Russia was that Power. Could Great Britain unaided and alone suffice for the exertion of restraining her? Would Prussia aid her in so doing? Would Austria? Would Sweden? The melancholy years of 1851 and 185.5, melancholy from the blood they had ex pended, from the crime they had avenged, the weaknesses they had laid open, the animosities they had left behind, might answer that inquiry. United, :France and Britain Were able to contend with Russia. Without Britain, ships would have been wanting ; without France, armies would have failed. But even these great Powers were not able to obtain a result such as their boundless sacrifices, their heart • rending endurance ; and noble feats entitled them to look for. Let disunion grow up between Franco and England, Constan tinople would be Russian, and Europe no longer safe. If you turn your eyes towards the West you see a young and vigorous Republic uniting the extremes of servitude and freedom, and of which, in spite of many virtues, annexation is the ruling passion and the constant end. The Continent of America can never fall under one dominion so long as two naval Powers like France and England aro united. But it requires the union of two naval Cowen— and Europe has only two—to form an adequate security against that consummation. The Emperor of Brazil himself might tremble on his throne, if ho despaired of any steady understanding between France and Great Britain. The alliance of the two was necessary to the world; but how can ycu preserve it ? Equality of forces and mutual re spect was the foundation of so 'doing. In former years, to balance the immense preponderance of Franco by land, Great Britain exceeded her in line-of-battle-ships, in frigates, and in gun-boats. If Franco became our equal upon the land. How could you effect it Would you in crease the army to 300,000 men ? The spirit et the coun try, the necessities and obligations of the country would re sist you. Your only course was to depend, in some degree, on volunteers. Such seemed to him the vindication of the movement, and the closer France and Britain were united the more essential to our honour was it to become a nation of armed men. But it was said that the Emperor of the French deserved our confidence, and that so long as he re mained upon the throne no danger would impend upon us from that quarter. It was far from his intention to dispa rage that extraordinary person, or cast suspicion on hi s policy. Many calculations of ambition might strengthen, many imi ulses of sentiment in prohibiting on his part a rupture with Groat Britain. He knew that the world could furnish him with no equivalent ally. It could not be Rue sia, for Russia was engaged always more or less in a policy . which France had renounced herself, and could never ac quiesce in from another country. It could not be America, for the maxims of the United States prevented upon their part the exorcise of influence in Europe. It could not be Prussia, for Prussia had not any navy by which France could be supported. It could not be Austria, because the views of France and Austria in Italy.had always been irre concilable. Great Britain was the only Power, engaged in no line of action, committed to no purpose which involved disunion with France, and having the resources and advan tages for which France would naturally look in an ally. If si rupture ever happened between Great Britain and the Emperor, it would most likely be at some moment when the weakness of this country in its national defences had raised across the Channel a spirit of aggression which even this great man was insufficient to subdue. But was his life secured to us for ever ? Was it not possible that a long career of agitation, of adversity, of struggle, and of exile had imparted to his frame the cause of premature de. dine ? Had not he been threatened ? Among the emis saries of the Pope as among the weak disciples of Mazzini, might you not conceive the fatal hand which had not yet Occurred to him. And if something happened to the Em peror, what situation would arise? Tho friends of that dynasty which fell in 1830, the friends of that dynasty which fell in 1848, the friend s o f the Republic which cease d i n 1851, as far as we could j u d ge, would all spring into a mad and internecine struggle for a scen d anc y ; an d w h a t weapon would occur to them ? H ow would they he likely to oatvie each other in the race for short-lived popularity ? Would net- hostility to Britain be the wa.chword by which each would hope to awaken in its favour those dormant passions which the present Emperor controlled ? Until, therefore, the Emperor is proved to be not only a firm ally, but an immortal one, all foresight calls on you to arm while his life alone secures the order of his country. But granting war to be in all contingencies improbable, there is another ground on which a force of volunteers may be defended. The power of a Foreign Secretary to uphold public law, to vindicate the rights of British subjects, to negotiate success fully, to form satisfactory alliances, to prevent dangerous combinations, depends not only upon skill, on judgment, and diplomacy ; but on the fleets and armies which are ready to give a point to his despatches and lend a substance to his words. Suppose a country wholly undefended; would all the concentrated talent of Lord Bolingbroke and ?tr. Canning enable it to form the treaties which it aimed at ? Suppose it perfectly invulnerable on its coasts, and undis puted mistress of the sea, the most incapable of ministers, with an electric telegraph to help him, would not be able to sink it beneath a certain point of insignificance in the dis cussions of the world. In 1823, when France invaded Spain, Mr. Canning protested ineffectually; but a hundred thousand volunteers were not arrayed behind his language. It was necessary in 1826 to despatch 10,000 men to Portugal. Had volunteers existed at that moment the emergency might never have arisen. So, too, the Russian war might yet have been a dream had not the Czar been able to look down with scorn on the defences of the country. Diplomacy was no doubt the general result of arms. But arms were also the vital power and indispensable condition of diplo may. The past autumn has been full of illustrations upon this point ; and if they wanted our foreign policy to proceed with dignity and firmness, on thai ground alone they re quired the Channel fleet, a reserve of gunboats, which a dis tinguished naval man had recommended, a hundred thou sand regulars, which was not much beyond our ordinary limit, a hundred thousand militiamen, which the Duke of W' ellington had called for, and a hundred thousand vo lunteers, which was not too geeat a strain upon the gene , rill enthusiasm. Ho had made these observations because he was informed that in the town their existed same backwardness as regards joining the arttllery they had lately resolved to have. If such backwardness proceeded from a belief that war was distant for the present, it did credit to their judgment. But he had shown the probability of war was not the reason of the movement. Having urged this point on several local grounds, Mr. Campbell said that ho hoped to see every man enrol himself in the artillery who was under the age of 60. The young might feel a glow of pride and satisfaction in the consciousness of living, not only to support themselves, but to defend the public fortunes, to influence the fate of Europe and the movements of the world. They would lsy ; up a treasure fer old age ; in all the hours they had given to the service they would find a vent for the exuberance and power which belonged to their time of life, and which, unless it had a useful channel, would only tend to the con fusion of their fortunes and pursuits. As regards men who had outlived their youth, what was more essential to them than some new form ortoil and excitement to arrest the gloom and the satiety which often hung on their existence, to keep up the activity they were much too prone to lose, to disripate the cares which not unfre quently assailed him, and to animate theM by the feel ing that the remnant of their lives would not be useless to society ? He had no desire to appeal to-night to party feelings ; but he could not hear without concern that the recruits had not come as yet to any great extent from his political supporters. It was true, indeed, that legislation was in some degree exhausted, the circle of abuses was restricted, the battles 'of Reform were won. From time to time, howerei, they might still remember they belonged to that set of men by whom Parliament had been released from the coercion of the Throne, and the middle class from the dictation of the oligarchy, by whom Town Councils had been made an organ of the people, by whom corn had been taken from the fetters which confined it to its native soil, by whom the ships of every land had been encouraged to pursue an un impeded path over the ocean. In a short time—it might be months, it might be weeks—they must be ready to see their opponents face to face upon the hustings. In the House of Commons parties were now balanced, Europe, Asia, and America combined to furnish opposition with the weapons of plausible, although not of just attack. On the question of Reform no Government was safe unless the prudent counsel he had quoted from Mr. Cobden influ enced their plans. The occasion might therefore be near, which, looking to the past, did not seem to them a distant. one. When that day arrives, let it not be said by your op ponents that while you were zealous to improve the laws and institutions of the country, you gave them a monopoly in the sense, the hardihood, and virtue of being forward to defend it. The hon. gentleman, who vn.s frequently and loudly cheered throughout, then sat down amidst great applause. ♦ resolution, expressive of confidence in the hon. gentle man, and approval of his course in Parliament, was pro posed, seconded, and carried unanimously. THE HON. TV. F. CAMPBELL, 3LP., AND BIS CONSTITU-EXTS. (Front the lforning Advertiser.) A public meeting was held at the Three Cups Hotel, on Saturday, to hear the llon. W. F. Campbell on political affairs. In the course of his speech, Mr. CAMPBELL referred to his motion upon Portugal in August last. Although it had not come forward at such a time or in such a manner as to rivet their attention, ho would not shrink now from ex plaining to them briefly in what views it had originated. Responsible as he was to them for the prudence of every step he took in the House of Commons, they knew as well as him that, at the fall of the late Government, the rela tions of Great Britain and Portugal had been seriously compromised. As a maritime constituency they knew, also, that for many years this country had employed a squadron on the coast of Africa, at tho cost of half a million pounds a year, for the repression of the slave trade. In IMO, on an attempt to induce the House of Commons to withdraw the squadron, they refused, with zeal if not with unanimity, to do so. In 1858, when an attempt was made to induce them to control it by instructions, with still greater zeal and a much larger majority, they declined to control its operations or to limit its activity. The leading statesmen were irrevocably pledged to its continuance, and the nation could not now recede from that line of policy to which the squadron was essential. The Portuguese dominion on the eastern and western coasts of Africa occupied the terri tory from which slaves were unfortunately furnished. Un less, therefore, Portugal abetted the exertions of our squadron by instructing the Governor-General of Angola on the ono side and the Governor •General of Mozambique upon the other, to do their utmost to support it (and many means were open to thorn), it was nothing but a useless drain upon the finances of the empire—it was nothing but a mischievous and inexcusable withdrawal to distant and deadly clime! of ships, of seamen, and officers, who, in other regions of the globe, might be defending our safety or adding to our influence. To keep up a squadron to watch the coast of Africa, with Portugal upholding it, might be good sense, and wisdom, and humanity ; to keep up a squadron in those waters, with Portugal im peding you, was a wanton sacrifice of life, and un repaid expenditure of money, and a departure from all the views which prudence dictated to empires. To bring the authority of Portugal to bear on the Governor- General of Angola and the Governor-General of Mozam bique, British influence and British exhortation were per petually required. And if any state of things occurred to silence British exhortation and lock up British influence, do what the squadron might, the slave trade would continue. The transaction so painfully associated with the vessel Charles et Georges rendered it impossible for Britain to hold towards Portugal her wonted language on this subject until Parliament had interfered with such a motion as ho offered. Britain would have only courted the reply from any go vernment at Lisbon, " we did discountenance the slave trade, we did instruct the viceroys as you asked, we did oppose our selves to France, who wanted our negroes ; we dii execute our laws. You did not give us even countenance in peril which you forced us to incur, and we will not again, without new encouragement and new security, incur it." The mo tien was designed to oiler that encouragement and furnish that security on the part of the House of Commons, which had a right to speak for the community. It appeared tq be so calculated to the Minister of Portugal; to Mr. Lyons M‘Lood, our well-known consul from Mozambique; to Mr. Charles Buxton, who came down to the House of Commons to support it ; to that distinguished individual whose talents were now devoted to restore our Indian finance. The Op position were prepared to acquiesce in it. The Government through more than one channel, had engaged to give it their support ; and although the state of the house (there being scarcely 40 members present) induced him not to speak, the practical result would have been gained—and this was all he aimed at—had not a member of the Cabinet taken a part which, if he ever became acquainted with this subject, he would no doubt regret to the latest day of hie existence. Mr. Lyons M'Leod had made a calculation that if our squad ron lost the active sympathy of Portugal, to render it effectual 13 more ships would be required, at a now cost of two hundred and fifty thousand pounds per annum. Such was the burden which he (Mr. Campbell) had desired to avert ; but which Sir George Grey decided to impose upon the public. In the same spirit, and on the same night, he insisted, with headlong haste, trampling en all the forms and usages of Parliament, on sending down commissions of inquiry to Wakefield and Gloucester, which could have no result except that of adding to the general taxation of the country. Reflecting over that night, he (Mr. Campbell) had come to the conclusion that Sir George Grey, wearied by a long course of Parliamentary attendance, and weighed down by the burden of a too responsible department, had come to the House of Commons with a general idea that two motions were before him, but one ought to be carried and the other thrown out, and that in the hurry of the moment he supported what he meant to have opposed, and opposed what he meant to have supported. On no other ground could he (Mr. Campbell) continuo to regard him with that esteem and admiration which he had felt for him before, and which ho knew was generally shared among tho party he belonged to. As regarded organic change, on which at present so much apathy existed, ho would only state his general opinion as to the lino we ought to follow ; and ho did so with the greater ease, because in August last Mr. Cobden had anticipated what occurred to him about it. In August last, at Rochdale, Mr. Cobden had lent his great authority and eloquence to the position that, the best mode of operating on the Reform Act of 1832 was to renounce am- • bitious schemes, and to touch separately, one by one, the parts of that great system which required correction and improvement. In support of his idea Mr. Cobden quoted the expression of the late Mr. O'Connell to the effect that when you had a doorway which would scarcely admit a gig and horse, it was not a prudent thing to lay down as a principle, that you would never enter it without a dozen waggons all abreast of one another. So, too, ho might have added, it would not be a practical proceeding to refuse to enter a har • bour which would only float a brig, unless you were allowed to do so with a fleet of line-of-battle ships. But setting metaphor apart, experience was ready to convince all im partial minds that the attempt at large and comprehensive legislation on Reform had been fairly tried and met with uniform disaster. The well-known Mr. O'Connor tried it in 1848, but his scheme had no support from any order of society. Mr. Hume attempted it in 1849, in 1850, and in 1851, but he found nothing to respond to him except aver sion in the House of Commons, and indifference in the people. Lord John Russell attempted it in 1832. In ten days afterwards the ship, of. which he had been the able pilot, foundered. In 1854, the Earl of Aberdeen, blind to all these lessons, rushed upon a similar experiment, and met a similar repulse, although not at once subversive of his Government. In 1859, the Earl of Derby, untaught by these impressive antecedents, advanced a comprehensive scheme, and sacrificed his Government amidst the loudest marks of reprehension. Impenetrable that man must be to all the past could teach him who, in cold blood, defied the voice of Mr. Cobden, after its sagacity and truth had been so curiously verified. Not that Mr. Cobden was the only per son of distinction who had anticipated the point for which he was contending. The Prime Minister himself in 1857, just before the general election, gave utterance to the same idea, and declared himself in favour of occasional reform as preferable to large bills which were not framed to reach the statute book. For the real truth was, that large ambitious projects of reform ware neverlikely to be carried. Ho would point out a few of the impediments which met them. To begin with such schemes involved, or were thought to in volve, an instant dissolution. When a dissolution was im pending the power of the Houseof Commons, as a delibera tive body, was suspended, because its members wore all en gaged in other scenes. And what could be more unjust or • Extract from the Royal Warrant :—" Any person who as a non-commissitned officer or soldier shall have com pleted the term of service for which he was originally en listed, not being less than 10 years in the Infantry, or 12 in the Cavalry, Artillery, or Royal Engineers, or who, after five years' service, has been discharge for any other cause than misconduct, without a permanent pension, ma y, pro vided he is approved and engages for such ear vice by a de claration in the form hereto annexed, be enrolled to serve in the reserve force." /1 2 _ _ti - ,c; (.• .5 1 k. , 7:7 , ?,,?' x 710 'r i 4 i • /A 2 'f \ . _ . . • • . dokk l .• • "to f • - •0. r : _•.. ). 111111 ,11ft- 14- ' 47-1 tfri • 4 , , Ift : 411,1 k -7 nia+ a ,- 1 „, • a ro ; f r IM I L 2 . P R ICE 4 D . STAMPED, INSTITUTION OF NAVAL ARCHITECTS, The Institution of Naval Architects which has just been established is likely to be an important engine of Naval Reform. The sums which have been spent upon men-of-war by successive Boards of Admiralty are indeed portentous ; but, large as that expenditure has been, it would not have been grudged had the country reaped a proportionate benefit. Last session Lord Clarence Paget in vain attempted to trace the money from the public purse to its destination in the shape of some a-med vessel afloat or in frame. Even if he had succeeded, however, he would only have elicited the fact that the money spent by the Admiralty was wasted, be cause it was spent. by men who did not understand their business. There is nothing more expensive than shipbuilding ; there is nothing in which cience can do so much to produce economy. It is singular that ours is the only country in which men of war are planned by those who have not studied the principles of naval architecture. Sir Baldwin Walker, though an admirable naval officer on board ship, has no scientific training in the sub ject-matter over which he presides; and yet he is the Surveyor of the British Navy. No doubt he is assisted by some men who have made naval archi tecture their study, but these men may be over ruled by the chief. But there is no more reason to believe a man capable of building a ship because he sails it, than there would be for assuming that the mechanic, because he makes a surgeon's instruments, must be able to use them. The truth of this principle is obvious, but for years it has been ignored by the Admiralty, and the sums of money squandered upon experiments and failures attest their folly. Instead of the Naval Minister laying down distinctly the character of vessel required, and confiding the execution of the order to a board of naval architects, he has been in the habit of call ing into their service sometimes an old admiral, sometimes a yachtsman, sometimes a naval archi tect. -No attempt has been made to reduce the pro blem to a principle ; success or failure has been a happy accident. Consistently with this no-principle system the ap pointments and promotions in the Royal dockyards were disposed of as if there were no such thing as a science of shipbuilding. Years ago Lord St. Vincent established a school of naval archi tects, in which the young men were regularly instructed in the principles of their business. His intention was obvious, but the spirit of corruption was too strong. The young men were branded with the nickname of " Academics," and until within a few years most of them have been com pelled to waste their energies an I talents in subor dinate positions. Scientifie shipwrights are not of necessity good political agents, and until of late the keen politician was much more useful as the master shipwright of a dockyard than a good naval architect. His nominal business was to build men of-war ; his real business was to see that the work men in the yard voted for the right candidate, Of late years, however, this has somewhat changed. and at present it will be found that several of the master shipwrights in the Royal dockyards were educated at the school of Lord St. 'Vincent, though they have only lately, after many years' neglect, been promoted. The change still to be made is that henceforth the Surveyor of the Navy shall be, not a naval officer, but a naval architect: Every one who knows anything of the Admiralty knows that the surveyorship which has lately been filled by a naval officer will not readily be surrendered to the naval architects. There is great jealousy between the two branches of the service. But it is obvious that until the naval architects can fill the post which is the natural summit of their profession, the proper weight will never be attached to their advice. If the Institution of Naval Architects does nothing else than confer fresh importance on its members, it will not be without most important effects in elevating their position. Again, the naval architects in her Majesty's dock yards arc selected from the apprentices. These ap prentices are selected partly from boys nominated, and partly from boys who enter the yard by mans of a competition. After the boys are in the j and they are obliged to pursue their studies—to ac quire a knowledge of the principles of shipbuild ing —and, in short, to bes.ome highly educated naval architects. This is a manifest improvement over the old system, by which boys were admitted into the yard because their relations were already there, or because their friends voted the right way, and obtained their promotion because they were obsequious partisans. But a system founded on merit must be administered justly, or it will infal libly fail. It seems that until within the last few days the examination of the z.pprentiecs was con ducted by local examiners, and that the result of such examination was complained of. Henceforth the examinations for admission at least are to be conducted by the Civil Service Commissioners, who will be absolutely free from all local prejudices, and will be acknowledged to be so. The only change still wanting is that the whole, instead of a portion, of the appointments should be open to com petition. But even as things stand at present, the dockyards may be supplied with a body of naval architects as able and highly cultivated as any in the kingdom. Another important matter is, that the naval architects themselves should have the means of ex tending their information and modifying the prin ciples of shipbuilding to the changes which the growth of science has produced. By the establish• ment of the Institution of Naval Architecture this means will now be supplied. Its efforts are to be directed not only to the improvement of ships, but of all that pertains to them. The naval architect, as the person whose duty it is to consider the ship as a whole, is of course the principal. But be must be associated, and closely associated too, with the prac tical shipbuilder, the man of science, the seaman, the engineer, the mast-maker, the rigger, the sailmaker, the smith, and others, without whom no ship could ever be built or fitted out. "Without ass iciaiion and correspondence among all this variety of experts, it is impossible. that any man can draw the best plan of a ship, and it has been judiciously concluded that an institution which should concentrate all this diversity of applied skill would be of the ut most utility. Considering that many of the most eminent shipbuilders and engineers and naval officers have already joined the Institution, % that Sir John Pakington and Lord Clarence Paget, and other politicians patronise it, there can be little doubt that its meetings and the papers read there will materially promote the science of naval archi tecture. Above all, the opinions freely expressed at the Institution as to the merits of the various naval works will not only prevent the Admiralty from being overruled by incompetent men, but will en sure that consideration as to the science of naval architecture which has been hitherto withheld.— Daily News. • DEATH OF A CRIMINAL LUNATIC.—On Friday morning Mr. Payne, the coroner, held an inquest at Bethlehem Hospital, on the body of Maria Isabella Beckett, aged 69 years.

As is usually the case in human affairs, in this, too, the great aid little are considerably mixed up ; but I suppose it must be so Oil our paltry little planet., and so we will not reason about. it, but pro ' coed to relate the facts. Lord John Russell addreseed himself to the Pied montese Government to have Cavour sent to Eng land, as he wished to have an interview with him, whether Congress should meet or not. In accord ance with this desire Cavour was called up to Turin, and asked to Undertake a mission explaining the views of the Piedmontese Government to those of France and England. A Council of Ministers was held, at which Cavour was present. lie expressed his willingness to go, making the only conditions t hat Parliament. should be immediately convoked. To this was objected the impossibility, or rather illegality, of this step. According to the law, the electoral lists must, be prepared by the Sindie, or mayor, in connection with the Communal Councils. It, is only nt Milan that the communal elections are over; in Twin it only takes place to-day, and in other towns later. It is the Government which has reserved the right to itself.to name the Seindies from among the com munal councillors, and a month's space is given for this process, which is not much considering that about 9,000 mayors have to be named ; until the mayors were named, therefore, there could be no electoral list prepared and no Parliament convoked. In order to get out of this difficulty it was sug gested that the Communal Councils should make up the lists without waiting for the elections of the Sindics. The Ministry did not think itself em powered to give such a coup de canifto its own law, published not more than two months ago. Still, negotiations were carried on, and, in order to settle the point, one of the most prominent lawyers, Canis, was asked his opinion. The reply was, that although, strictly speaking, such a step would be jet, "considering the circumstances, it was politically quite justifiable. The Ministry was not of this opinion and gave in its resignation, which was accepted. Nothing could read better, you will agree, than this serious self-sacrificing conduct of both parties. One of them, intimately convinced of the necessity of re-opening Parliament as soon as possible, makes this, which has become a general cry all over the country, his only condition to accept a difficult and, perhaps, thankless task. The other party objects to this, an impossibility, except by an infringement of one of the fundamental laws of the State, and prefers to go out of office rather than consent to such an illegality. The only misfortune in the whole is, that the French saying of " Il n'y a pea de heros pout. son valet de chambre," is true here, too, and if one was to look close one might ferret out many little weak nesses on both sides, which are hidden by the arts of the toilette. Whether it is in this way or any other that the change has taken place, it is of great importance for more than one reason. It is themselves that the late Ministry have to thank for the position of their adversary. With every blunder they made tbe her mit of Leri grew taller and taller, until he over shadowed altogether his opponents. Almost all over the country there was a general cry for him ; the more insupportable the Ministry became the more Cavour's popularity increased ; his nomination as plenipotentiary to the Congress was a first triumph, and must have shown the Ministry that its days were numbered. The critical position with regard to Centrl Italy made it even more important to have a united and energetic Ministry. The fruit has been pronounced ripe and must be plucked now or never. In the late Ministry this met with considerable difficulties. With the exception of the Minister of the Interior the rest were as decided as ever to keep to their timid uncertain policy. The King, who had made up his mind to give up this policy, at first contem plated to intrust Ratazzi with the formation of a Ministry. lie is the confidential adviser, and we almost say friend of the King, and seemect to he reads to undertake the task to send away his un willing colleagues, and act in the sense the King wished it. Ile would have been likewise ready t•i wave the legal objections to the meeting of Par liament. Not so his colleagues, who probably thought this a good opportunity to get out of an awkward position, and tendered their resignation. Whether the Minister of the Interior has romantic ideas about political friendship, or whether he thought it likewise wiser to retire before the com ing storm, the fact is that he elected not to aban don his colleagues in this circumstance, and to stand or fall with them. Whether Cavour will be able to satisfy all the expectations which are connected with his name remains to be seen. 'fin opposition against his pre decessors has been one of the chief agents in pro ducing his great popularity ; it excited, perhaps, exaggerated hopes, but one must take this evil with its advantages. flaying been for years the chit f agent in carrying out Victor Emmanuel's Italian policy, he is certainly the fittest man to continue it under the difficult circumstances. NAPLE S. ------+- A letter from Ni:ples, dated January 14, says : I have reported on several occasions lately the am st of Signor Pandola, son of a lady who sacrificed her precious birthright as an Englishwoman by marry ing a subject of this barbarous and imbecile Go vernment; he now pays the penalty of a weakness which could renounce the most glorious heritage of which any human being can boast. His father, us you have been informed, was persecuted unto the death before him, and he, with many others, now awaits, not the judgment, but the caprice of the authorities in that prison which I pass almost daily in my walks. You have called special atten tion to his case, but it' is as nothing in comparison with the innumerable and far more brutal cases which I have brought before your attention during the last five years. It would require a volume to detail the suffering of those who at this moment even are lingering, like young Pandola, in prison, er in relegation, cr exile. My h ear t s i c k ens wit h the reports which are brought to me, from day to day, and I sometimes fear to weary the public by giving them to the world ; yet I should fail in my duty to justice and ti nth, and should incur the con demnation of my own conscience, did I not make every effort to expose what is passing around me The position of the Neapolitans is the more hope less as the Government, by a lon,e. continuance of its infamous system, seems to me - to hare lost all moral sensibility, to have fallen into a kind of moral torpidity, and to be incapable of distinguish ing between right and wrong. Thus one hears continually of violating law until illegality has be come the normal action of the Government, and the eye is familiarized with spectacles which would set England on fire. 'fake the following, which might have been witnessed in the early part of the week, There are four well-dressed persons, apparently gentlemen, at the head of a procession ; five or six inspectors follow after them, perhaps 10 policemen after their, and as many gendarmes close the column.

The formation of such a force in a country which can fear no intervention, and could not resist it if made, amounts to a declaration that the govern ment places greater confidence in the outcasts of society than in its own troops, and means to per severe in its system of oppression and repression. Another reflection occurs to me. How far is it consistent with international courtesy that the Go vernment of the Two Sicilies should seek to enrol Swiss, and plant its agents on the borders of their country at the very moment. when the Republic is endeavouring to wipe off the stain which it has received from propping up the despotism ' of the south of Italy ? Again, Feldkirch and Bregenz, the points from which these mercenaries are to start, are both in the Austrian dominions, and the fact demonstrates that to the utmost of her power, and in every way short of actual intervention, Aus tria is engaged in supporting principles which; if triumphant, will for ever crush the liberties of Italy; ._ , ‘_, London : 11.

The Proprietors beg most resp ctfully to call the attention of the trade, noblemen, cLergy, &c., and the public in general, to their extensive stockbf Choice Wines, of rare vintages. BURROWS and Co. are not disposed to comment upon the purity of their wines, which is daily most laudably acknow ledged by the public and eminext medical men of all coun tries, as the increasing Patronage of the highest families in the land is a sufficient guarantee. They beg to call particular attention to their pure Tonic Wines, as being so ♦aluable to Invalids and persons of weak stomachs. A sample case, containing three full-sized wine bottles, will be torwarded to any address on receipt of P. 0.0. for 60. or a dozen for 245. It is a well-known fact that impure and adulterated wines are the greatest foes to health, producing acidity in the stomach, and debilitating the digestive organs, while pure wines will accelerate the digestive powers, invigorating, strengthening, and bracing the nervous system. Their Tonic Wine is admitted to be most essential to in valids, both old and young, and should never be absent from the homes of the weak and sickly. Its properties are duly aokvowledged ante appreciated by the leading men of the faculty, both at home and abroad. To prevent imposition each bottle is sealed with the name of the firm. All orders to be made payable to HENRY BURROWS. 211 E NAVY. It is now stated that the Nelson will for the pre sent not be nndocked until the works in connexion with lengthening the docks shall be further ad vanced. Lieut. Basil Hall has received his appointment as Flag Lieutenant to Rear-Admiral Sir Alexander Milne, K.C.8., Commander in• Chief on the North American and West India station. The Prussian screw frigate Arcona, under orders to proceed to Southampton for docking and repairs, was yesterday still detained at Spithead by the violence of the weather. The screw steamship Nile, Capt. Arthur P. E. Wilmot, C. 8., at Devonport, had her lower masts stripped for overhauling on Saturday. The paddlewheel steam sloop Prometheus, 5, Dent. Theodore B. Hollingworth, commanding, from Portland, arrived at Plymouth on Friday, to fit and take in stores for foreign service. The naval transport Diligence, James Head, master, was hauled into Keyham basin, Devonport, on Saturday, to discharge moulding sand. The gunboats Porpoise and Lark were taken out of No. 1 dock at Keyham, Devonport, on Friday ; and the Shamrock, Commander Edyc, and survey ing gunboat• Magpie were placed in dock. Preparations are being made at Portsmouth on a somewhat extensive scale for witnessing the launch of the Prince of Wales, screw throe-decker, which event is fixed to take place on Wednesday next. The ship will be fitted with engines of 800-horfe power, and her dimensions and armament are as follow :—Length between perpendiculars, 252 ft. ; length of keel for tonnage, 213 ft. 34 in. ; breadth, extreme, 60 ft. 2 in.; breadth, for tonnage, 59 ft. 4 in. ; breadth, moulded, 58 ft. 6 in.; depth in hold, 25 ft. 6 1 ,- in.; burthen in tons, 3,993 74-94th. Ar mament—Lower deck : 8 inch 65 cwt., 9 ft. in length, 10 in number ; 32-pounders, 58 or 56 cwt., 9 ft. 6 in. in length, 26 in number. Middle deck : 8-inch 65 cwt., 9 ft. in length, 6 in number ; 32- p:mnders, 58 or 56 cwt., 9 ft. 6 in. in length, 30 in number. Main deck :, 32-pounders, 42 cwt., 8 ft. in length, 38 in number.

It is not expected that any of the members of the Royal family will be present, but it is propable that the ceremony of christeninc , the vessel will be per formed by the Princess of r_Riningen. The greatest activity still prevails in Portsmouth dockyard, and is we believe without precedent. There are at the present time about 8,000 men em tphloeypeedrminantehnatt s e t s a t ff a , b lai nd m t e h n e t , s o u r m m o p r a e i ( t i wee d k o l u y ) i l n e wages amounts to no less than £9,000. A more correct idea of the vast increase of labour here may be formed if we state that prior to the Russian war the average payment was only £3,000 per week, and it did not throughout that war exceed £5,000, or £4,000 less than at the present time. The following appointments have been made at the Admiralty :—J. A. Miller, surgeon, to the Blen heim ; Dr. John Teenan, surgeon, to the Diadem ; William Robert Green, acting third-class assistant engineer, to the Rhadamanthus, as supernumerary; John Symons, acting third-class assistant-engineer to the Wellington, for service in the Sheldrake; W.

A corresponding note is, of course, to be made on the discharge document.—By command, "G. A. WETHERALL, Adjt.-Gen."
