It cannot be repeated too often, that upon the can dour with which her MAJESTY'S Ministers recognise the necessities of the times are dependent their con tinuance in office and the consolidation of the exist ing Government. Hitherto the country has had no opportunity whatever of estimating the intentions of the Cabinet so far as to conjecture with any degree of accuracy the nature of the policy about to be adven tured upon by the Administration. For the disci°. aura of their views we have all of us been anxi °ltaly looking forward ever since last February. Until now, without any other results, save those o f procrastination and disappointment. Meg nanrait sess i on L P ompted us during the l as t P ar li amen t a ry time ., untilallowthe the Ministry pea ce f u ll y t o " bid e i ts in some h u e re difficulties of its p os iti on h a d b een measu re z eauished. It was f e lt th at b e f ore any delilea_e ate a Ministerial Policy could comprehensive revelati on o f th e be reasonably demand e d f rom the Earl of D eit " a to make colleagues, they should be first of all permitt ed enable a formal appeal to country, so as to the proposed plans to 2 them to submit their ne w Parliament. . vir ' e u l Lonsideration o f a been now formally elected_was a Parliament has w . hat wiser is the nation at this moment than it wa ll s Go : e ' r Z mouths ago es the policy of the DERRY to le4rllt, of course, that the Cabinet haanelLent? It has doped the enfJrcement upon the L eg i s rf a e t s _ sl Y ahm. obsolete principles of Protection. B u t it knees of . the ago that such must inevitably be the ca se _ e , long 1 "counted 1 upon that change, an d wisely, with implicit confl- 1 deuce. Beyond this i - , knows for certain--absolutely i nothing. It can on ly reson in the matter upon simple probabilities. According to the natural deductions thus capable of being drawn—it appears likely that the Cabinet will be in favour of a variety of important reforms long and fervently desired by the population. Legal reforms, indeed, have been explicitly promised by the Government. Sanitary reforms have been hinted at. Fiscal reforms have been shown to be already , ' looming in the future," according to the now well-known phrase of the CHANCELL 9L oz ~ . the EXCHEQUER. Fur ‘.•"-- --„i 1 ,LIF-‘'''\ W . \ fr.,. S•V i:!:„4 ••• . .••.••• 4 •✓• fi t Ili la S ther than this, the people have been left only to conjecture. In several instances it is true that, notwithstanding the obdurate silence of the Cabinet, the more discerning speculators in the future may count with something like certainty upon the unfolding of other projects by the present Minis try consonant with the spirit of the age and compa tible with the wishes of the general community. Yet still, in all this, however plausible may be the aspect of likelihood, nothing more in the matter is left to the country than the most unsatisfactorily vague anticipa tions. Besides the reforms already specified as of a legal, a fiscal, and a sanitary character—the best that can be said of any other is that such and such a thing is "probable." Surely this dubious position of affairs has been quite long enough protracted ! Surely its further continuance at indefinite intervals is precisely the very thing calculated to give rise to the most disastrous consequences ! And what pos sible good result we should like to know can be expected from these prpetual delays either to the Ministers themselves or to their supporters in the new Parliament ? So far from the circumstance referred to being favourable in any way to the - Government, it is, perhaps, of all, the most effectual ' means of marring the Ministerial hopes of the mem bers of Lord D ERBY ' S Administration. If continued much longer, it must necessarily diminish even their restricted popularity. Everybody seems to be per fectly aware of this except her M AJESTY ' S Ministers themselves ! After tantalizi g ng the community procrastinat , theyby a h s e a r v i e e s again of the e f e m r r e e s a t m ag e o e n ti i n zi g n the newly-elected repre sentatives until a period in the ensuing autumn when the year will be too far advanced for a n y l engt h ened or satisfactory explanation. October must have almost elapsed before the House of Commons can have assembled in West minster, to hear from the Right Honourable the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER that the Cabinet will "positively for the last time"—like a sort of Ministerial Crummles— delay the disclosure of their intended policy until the spring of 185 3 h as again brought the Im perial Legislators together for the dispatch of busi ness. The public were h ear til y ti re d o f this four or five weeks since. They have come at last to regard it e 3 simply in tolerable. Will the Earl of DERBY recognise the truth of this assertion and the peril of this system, before its continuance has placed the difficulty of the task entrusted to his Government beyond the reach of reparation ? Unless some change be very speedily manifested in this particular by the leaders of the Administration, the days of the new Cabinet must be regarded as already numbered. The public will not consent to witness with in difference the dilatory proceedings by which the present occupants of office appear to be guarding themselves against the dangers of a legislative en counter with their political antagonists. There is an old story, familiar enough in itself to be only hinted at to be understood, about the ostrich hiding its head in the sand by way of secur ing its effectual concealment. Has no ostrich wan dered into Downing-street ? Westminster is just now in all conscience sufficiently a wilderness ! And, although the luxury of a " tenpenny nail" cannot possibly be found very easily in the vicinity of St. Margeeet's—abund ance may be readily discovered in the shape of " tax." Whatever Ministers may think about the convenience of delays, they will find rather earlier than they expect the mistake of these postpone ments. England cannot submit much longer to be committed to these amusing evesions on the part of her more remarkable statesmen. The Cabinet certain of best securing her sympathies and com manding her confluence would be a Cabinet manfully outspoken, not one cruelly and pertinaciously taci turn. The people of these islands like, if possible, to know what are really the sentiments by which their rulers are actuated. They become naturally suspicious of men who avoid, by every imagi nable device, the necessity of expounding their political doctrines to the community. A Ministry acting thus without intermission " is safe" to acquire an unenviably sinister reputation. Will the DERRY Administration consent to dwindle to that insignificance ? It commenced its existence with a bet' in g eminently chivalrous. Its distinguished leader spoke as became a STANLEY in February. Since which time the Earl of DEBBY appears to have lapsed into a silence as profound as that of the ruined Oracle of Delphos. Until the general election had been completed there was every reason for this delay of Ministerial explanations. Now that the full complement of representatives hts bean returned to that remarkable vessel of the State H.M.S. the Lower House of Parliament, there remains no longer any sort of excuse for the permanence of this " silent system" by the Noble Earl at the head of the Govern ment. Let him make a clean breast of it, and receive —if he can—the national absolution. The Town Council of Leeds, at their last s itti ng , opened a very important questi6n, namely, th at o f commercial law consolidation. It bad previously rb ceived the notice of the Leeds Chamber of Commerce, by whom, indeed, the co-op ration of the Municipal Council was solicited. 1 Sir GEORGE GOODMAN (lately Mayor of Lee3s, end now Alderman and M.P. for the borough), opened the question by reading communications addressed to the Mayor by the Earl of HARROWBY and others, on the subject of the amendment and consolidation of commercial law, it being important that the commercial laws of England, Ireland, and Scotland, should be made to assimilate. He con sidered that by s implifying and conso lid at i ng t h ese laws, and by abrogating the present conflicting and, in some instances, extremely pernicious laws, in regard to commerciel matters, great benefit would be conferred on the community. Other members of the Council agreed with Sir GEORGE as to the importance of settling this question, upon which a conference is to be held in London, with the co-operation of the Earl of Hen- Rownv (creditably known, when representative of Li verpool, for bis knowledge of commercial matters), and many leading merchants, traders, manufacturers, and jurists. The Town Clerk, in reply to a question, said that he considered that the Chamber of Com merce, and the Town Council, was the proper body t o take up questions of this matter, and inform the public mind Upon its merits. He " thought the Council' s tit" shoul d not be taken up with these questions !" Eventually thont common sense prevailed over official and legal a y a n d s, ise a e n n d tie t n h t e ._ fo , l , lo T w b i a n t g t m hi o e t icoonunwoails will l ried wi be happy to c oncur with . pressing up on the consideration the amendment cial law of England, " I do not think," said Council's time should be taken up ques tions."

They' have unanimously resolve d that the y will co-o p era te with their head Chamber of Commerce in pressing upon the consideration of Government the amend ment and consolidation of the commercial law of England, Ireland, and Scotland. The subject might he vastly extend e d —for wh y should not all th e genera l l aws of the United King dom be in operation in each part of it ? Why should the legal procedure in each country be dif ferent ? Why should written evidence be required inmost of the civil s uit s i n S cot l an d , w hil e parole . evidence is prop er ly rece i ve d i n t h e E ngl i s h cour t s o f law? Why should not the laws of marriage and divorce be the same all through the United King" 1 e principle should E l d n g t l h a the d bankruptcy upo upon dora ?

Why,• sameliving under one and the Government should not there , and speaking the same language, ordinances in eve be community of legal practice and We are as much ry part of the United Kingdom ? we were i -EL the broken up by this discrepancy es ms under each petty ruler. In with different system s In the words of DOGBERRY, I ~ This is most tolerable and not to be endured: , i No one can know, except the mercantile and com mercial classes, what a vast extent of mischief arises from the difference between the commercial laws of England, Ireland, end Scotland. Pecuniary loss, great as it often is, may be estimated as the least of the annoyance. Even in the port of London, the Fellowship Porters have a monopoly which prevents the unloading and discharging of ships' cargoes, save by a favoured few. Other ports have equally absurd and expensive and annoying practices. But these are minor points. What we require is the entire amendment and consolidation of the commercial law of the United Kingdom. The w ay of obtaining this does not appear very difficult. The question must be extensively and publicly agi tated. There must be meetings, and speeches, and resolutions. The Chambers of Commerce should have unity and industry of action upon it. The leading points of the question must be diffe - sed through the press, in the plainest and most unmis takable manner. Funds must be supplied to cover expenses—but the money part is that of which we have least apprehension. Members of Perlis ment must be seen, and solicited, and in terested in the matter. The Government, finally, must be communicated with, and in a manner which will show them the necessity, on the points of justice and expediency, of taking up the question with a view to its being fully and sembingly investigated. On a public topic like this, when strongly brought before them, the Government must become " squeez able." If the Chambers of Commerce are unanimous, and firm in proceeding with their " Agitation" herein , though " the Council's time should not be taken up" with this question, Ministers and the Legislature cannot successfully resist or prevent the reform which is sought for. It is now a mere question of flagrant evil, involving numerous losses, and vexations and annoyances, and when such matters reach a certain head they cannot longer be endured. It is a matter of time, but its finale is certain. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. M. TRIERS arrived in Paris on Tuesday. The Moniteur contains a decree from the PRESI DENT of the Republic, promoting M. ABATUCCY, Minister of Justice, and M. BILLAULT, President of the Legislative Corps, to the rank of officers of the Legion of Honour. The illonitcur also contains a decree according t o the St. Germaine Company permission to execute a railway from the St. Germaine terminus at Paris to Passey and Auteuil, on the same conditions as have been already granted for the main line. A letter from Geneva announces that M. DE REMusAT, who was in Switzerland when he heard of the permission accorded him to return to France, at once set off for his estate in the Haute Garonne. The same letter announces that M. CHANatoLLE was about to leave Vevey, where he has keen residing, and re turn to France with his family. The Intera Public of Caen states that on the occa sion of theft . * of the 15th the PRINCE PRESIDENT hag pardoned thirty prisoners confined in the prison at Beaulieu. The Archbishop of PARIS, who has left Paris on a journey i n t o Germany, has taken the Strasburg Railway, and will, it is said, go through Holland, to Vienna, and return to France through Belgium. The PRINCE PRESIDENT, on the report of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, hes just conferred the cross of chevalier in the Legion of Honour on the Maestro VERDI of Parma, the author of Ernani, the Foscari, and other operas. We read in the Emancipation of Brussels —" The opening of the railway from Paris to Strasburg has been, as might reasonably be expected, the subject of serious comments among political men in Germany. A Berlin journal, the IVehr-Zeitung has just pub lished an article on the subject, which hrs it is said, caus e d some sensation among military men. Let it be remembered,' says the article in question, what was the plan of campaign con ceived by NAPOLEON in 1800, and afterwards modi fied in different points by MoREAtT. The left bank of the Rhine from Strasburg to Bile WPS to be the basis of operation of the army of invasion. Strasburg, in fact, will always remain the principal stronghold, and the point of support of the left wing of the army. This place is now only a few hours' distance from Paris. France may in a few days concentrate an army behind the Rhine, and all the resources of the country, troops, money, and provisions, r-e all near the seat of operations.' There is nothing new in these remarks. E France can make use of railways to attack, Germany can also use them to defend. All the importance of these discussions is in the idea which might b 3 attributed, if not to the two nations, at lei , t to the Governments which preside over the destinies of France and Germany. So long rs it is known that Germany is rea-ly to rep 1 with energy any army which should threaten her ter.:tory, en in vasion by Strasburg is not tl be fe?”ed. Besides, the policy of France continues to be satisfactory." d T c h lo e s } e ' d ou a r t -a l n o d 4 - I. a- 8 1 0 1 c a . if fo p r er th C e en en ts d .

Two meetings have been held in Belgium relative to the non-renewal of the commercial treaty Iltween France and Belgium. One, by the journeymen com positors, against the renewal of any treaty cont Pining the condition of suppressing the right of re•impres sion ; and the second, by the Belgian threei spinners at Ghent, strongly in favour of a commerciPl treaty between the two countries. GERMANY. The Cologne Gazette, under the date of Berlin, 16th, gives the following explanation of the adjourn ment of the Customs' Congress :—" The President of the Council artivcd here yes'-irday afternoon, rid in the evening had a conference with the Ministers of Commerce and Finance on the Commercial end Cus toms' question. It was decided that the re-opening of the Customs' conferences, which wag to have tlken place to-day, should be prorogued, and that at the request of several friendly Governments, principally Hanover. Immediately ai -‘r his vulva', M. DE MANTEUFFEL read a letter which had been addressed to bim by the Bavarian Plenipotentiary and by some other Ministers of the coalition of Darmstadt. In this letter they demanded a postponement of the re-opening of the Customs' Congress for some days, es they had not yet re ceived their instructions, and their request was agreed to. No period has been fixed for the resump tion of the deliberations, and if the New Prussian Ga zette fixes the re-opening for the 18th inst., it is a gra-1 tuitous supposition. The Hanoverian Plenipoten tie.] confined himself to supporting the demand with out fully uniting in it. A letter from Berlin, of the 16tb, in the Cologne Gazette, says—" As was announced, the Catholic clergy did not agree to the request of the French Embassy to celebrate a divine service in commemo ration of the Emperor NArorzort. The clergy in this matter worthily appreciated the national senti ment. At the mass celebrated on the day of the Assumption in the church of Ste. Hedwige, prayers were put up for the dead and the Emperor NAPOLEON was comprised among them. M. DE VARENNES and the personnel of the Embassy were present. I rial family, as No other member of the corps diplomatique was present') The National Gazette of Berlin, under date of Vienna, 14th, says—" All the members of the Impe rial halfpern most gracious wellthe high • ' vil and military of as et assembled this evening at the terminus Burgomaster- ast of the No'', Railway to receive his MAJESTY. madefive the EMPEROR. arrived.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 10,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were taken for export, and 3,000 on speculation. The mar ket closed firmly, at the advance previously noticed this week. The sales comprised 8,500 American, 300 Per nam and Maranham, at Cid, to 7d.; 200 Bahia, at 61d. to 6 1 d.• ' 300 Egyptian, at 6 4 d. to 7id.; and 500 Surat, at 3 4 - 1 0. to 41d. per lb.—Railway Shares were firm, at rather higher prices. In the Produce Markets this week the dealings have been to a moderate extent, end almost wholly for con sumption. The principal staples have supported about former rates, end Coffee has slightly t)nded upwards. Some Spices are rather lower, rod Rice is not in so much request. Brandy hes 6.'11 a ready srle, and Cotton is taken more freely. Tallow has been steady. For Con gou Tees the demand has been kept up. Jute is held for high prices. Wool is firm. The necessity of devising new means to cheapen and facilihte the produa ion of sugar in our West India possessions must laJ to well uuderstocd at this day to seed much illustration o' enforcement, What remains to be done, and what h: . been r-lcomplished in other countries, it is, however, important to show. Both in Cuba and the Unit :A Stirt. , .9, the owner or manager of a property, as we ere informed, now employs for the crop an experienced sugar maker, who has the manufac turing process enti-ely end excl usively under his ma nagement and care. He is entitled to this situation from having established the charmer of being thoroughly acquaintcl with his bus i ness; he has generally some knowledge of chemistry—he possesses the latest and most useful informa-ion of all the improvements that have been discovered and rcently known—the books and irrtruments reptired by a man who has made this msnufeeture bis entire business. He gives the most un remitting attention not only to the improved manufac ture, but to the prevention of the theft of the sugar made; he is not paid a salary, but so much per hogs head, generally one dollar each hogshead, sent off the property. In the present uncertain state of the sugar question the absentee proprietors and mortgagees will not invest further capitz.l in ?ny of the very many recent improve ments in machinery, &c., in the manufecture of sugar on their own properties. The resident proprietors of Jamaica, and some of the other colonies, should now look to the present American system, which does net require any capital t ) try, and deserves to have their earnest consideratior. They must keep in mind th a t Barbadoes has lately doubled the crops the spirited planters formerly made; that last year, although the island is only the size of the parish of St. Ann, in Jamaicr, with few natural advantag es, the y mad e the immense crop of 40,000 tons, a larger quantity than Jamaica made in 1850, and equal to the crop of 1851; that Trinidad last year also made a larger crop thaa the island ever produced, under even the very favourable times of slavery and English protection. There is an increasing business d oin g in American Securities nowt he fishery dispute is considered to be settled. _ _ _ Owing to the recent altercat;on with the Chatham boatmen, the c -romittee of Lloyd's have appointed an agent for the Kentish cord specially to lcok to the pro tection of shipwrecked property, a tneesure of undoubted utility, and calm - anted to save much envy feelin g as well as pillage. A meeting of Portuguese Bondholders is convened for next Wednesday. The miserable reglect by the Go vernment at Lisbon of its obligations towards the foreign creditors demanded this public assemblage, though we believe the Committee have not been idle hitherto. The Amsterdam Stcck Market on the 18th inst. was very brisk for Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. Fo reign Securities were without alteration. Rather a large business has been done in Public Se curities, and the quotations are very well maintained. Consols have bees 991 to 1 for Transfer, and 99i for Account. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. bring 1031 to The Bank returns in this evening's Gazette will show a large increase in the bullion. The samples of Wheat shown in Mark-hue this morning from the west endi south of England are so bad the they can scarcely E 3 accepted as a fair crite rion, but still it stoutly maintained that thousands of acres can be found es bad or e►en worse. Th;s naturally eaucls surlJity, and although the I:se in Wheat is not above fr., 1, would speedily h 3 much greater if the statments /lade should be confirmed. Consols now are rather weaker at 991.

The supply of Beasts here to-Jay was on the increase, but in very middling condition. All breeds moved off slowly, and, in some instances, inferior ones had a downward tendency. We were fairly supplied with Sheep, in which a full average business was transacted, at full currencies, the best old Downs being worth 4s 2d per 81bs. Prime Down Lambs were scarce, and quite es dear. Otherwise the Lsmb trade was rather dull.

Owing to the unfa vourable reports respecting the new crop, holders in ge neral were very firm, but the amount of business passing Reg by no means extensive. Really fine parcels were is per quarter dearer, and the value of other kinds was well supported. There was more doing for forward delivery. Upwards of 17,000 quarters of foreign Wheat have come in. For most descriptions we had a steady consumptive demand, at extreme curren cies. Floating cargoes were held for more money. The show of English Barley was trifling, that of foreign up wards of 6,000 quarters. The demand was for from active at late rates. Most kinds of new Mr't were con sidered the turn higher. The Oat trade was in a sluggish state, owing to the large imports, which amounted to 32,110 quarters. In the value of Beans, Peas, aqd Flour we have no change to notice. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat.
