The destinies of the natioa are in a peculiar manner involved in the result of the approaching re assemblage of Parliament. Upon the ulterior resolve arrived at in the House of Commons during the neat few days much of the bs:ppiness of the present genera tion is dependent. It is, therefore, with a more than usual degree of anxiety that we await a s j ourn alists the commencement of those proceedings in the Legis lature in which so much interest is, naturally enough, felt by the population. To-day the Liberal Members, 83 we announced yesterday, are to be collected together at the private residence of Lord J. RUSSELL, "w by same few infatuated politicians regarded a s the acknowledged leader of the Opposition. To morrow the Parliament will again assemble at West minster, and the newly-elected representatives— members of the lately nominated Administration — will take the oaths and their seats according to ordi nary form, as the necessary preliminary to the various legislative :operations or thy , G,,vernment. Among th,,se brought thus prominently under the considera tion cf the Rouse, it i s just possible that thiTe may even be enumerated the Right Honourable Gentleman the , vIiANCELLOR of the E XC HEQUER —although his election for the county of Buckingham cannot corn , o f, n until tomorrow Aided by rapid locomotion,morning.it is just pos sible, we say, that even bibRA.ELI will be enabled e to take his post to - m orro w evening a t th e h ea d o f t h e front Leach of the Treasury, N evertheless, even under the moat favourable Circumstances in regard to the chance of his arrival thus rapidly from his interview with a clamorous constituency, it cannot for a mo ment be expected that the Ministerial statement THE in reference to the policy about to be adventured upon by the Cabinet can be submitted to the Legislature, and through the Legislature to the general multitude, before Monday at the earliest. In anticipation of those statements, however, the various parties in the Lower House are already preparing themselves for an encounter that appears to be inevitable. During the past fortnight the Manchester school has been espe cially industrious in agitating the necessity for some strenuous efforts at an active and aggressive struggle against the Protectionists. During the ensuing twenty-four hours the Whigs will in like manner, under the roof-tree of the late Prime Minister, and guided to their decision by tho light of that Noble Lord's still energetic ambition, resolve upon the course most advisable to be pursued in reference to the treatment of the ruling Administration. Several other sections there are ranged along the more retired seats of the Opposition, clus tered on the cross benches, and grouped some of them, and those not the least con spicuous, on the forms below the gangway : but these, generally speaking, have up to the present mo ment preserved an impassive silence, aloof for awhile from the stormy influences of disappointed self-con fidence, of Ministerial pique, and of blighted reputa tion. The Peelites, tiq example, have maintained an inscrutable serenity during the whole of the past exciting movements within the walls of the Imperial Legislature, those Peelites who number amongst them some of the distinguished administrators of the age, statesmen who, like the Right Hon. SIDNEY HERBERT, the Duke of NEWCASTLE, and, more es pecially, Sir JAMES GRAHAM, have revealed in a remarkable manner their capacity for the conduct of the affairs of government. Then, again, there is the most gifted Minister of our generation persisting in a very significant silence, or occasionally, as he did in reference to the Militia question, propounding, like the Sphinx, some riddle, the non•elucidation of which proves fraught with unavoidable destruction. The last of these political riddles he propounded to Lord JOHN RUSSELL, who failing to explain it satisfactorily was forthwith destroyed, his own destruction involving, of course, the summary destruction of his Govern ment. With a Parliament thus separated into divi sions, the newly constructed Cabinet will have, on Monday, to enter upon those Ministerial labours which are at all times of sufficient difficulty, but, which, under existing circumstances, are fraught with an almost bewildering embarrassment. Whether or not her MAJESTY'S Ministers will, from the peculiar situation of parties, be enabled during the next few weeks to bring forward the an nual estimates, and advance the ordinary and routine business of the country, in spite of all the adverse en deavours of opposition, remains still a matter most painfully problematical. Before many hours more have elapsed it will be seen if the opponents of the Administration are guided by a patriotic solicitude for the welfare of the community, or solely by a factious and petulant determination to push forward their own interests exclusively. The affairs of the nation are not, at the present moment, in a position such as would justify any premature or precipitate dissolu tion. On the 15th of March, 1852, we are not very likely to be, politically speaking, in a situation similar to that in which the country found itself on 22d of April, 1831. Even then the appeal to the country, resolved upon by the Prime Minister, and strenuously urged upon the MONARCH by the then Lord High Chancellor, was denounced by Sir ROBERT PEEL as both mad and unwarrantable, was eagerly striven to be warded off by the Opposition, and was at first peremptorily and p os iti ve ly re f use d by the SOVEREIGN. It was only carried into effect at last by the daring of Lord BROUGHAM, by the resolution of Earl GREY, by a resolution little short of dis loyal audacity, and by a daring almost amounting to high treason on the part of the LORD CHAN CELLOR. Shall the course, which was then only justifiable under the plea of an unavoidable exigency, be tolerated at the present juncture, when there is really no exigency at all, and when the in terests of the nation strongly plead against any such perilous interference with the various and necessary operat . the Government ? Nothing, we believe, lig would proceedings such as those to which we here make allusion. By forcing her MAJESTY'S 1111 nisters into a course so dangerous to the common weal, the Members of the Opposition, no matter what their legislative pretext or political complexion, no matter whether Wbig or It..tdical, Peelite or Palmerstonian, would be drawing-down upon their own heads a terrible and grievous respon sibility. The good of the people does not, we feel assured, require any such abrupt and indefinite post. ponement of the estimates as would be inevitable on a speedy dissolution. It is, therefore, that we have protested, that we do protest, and that we shall continue to protest, against tvery movement which appears to us to lead in that particular direction as against an effort signally and culpably factious in its character. No advantage is jeopar dized by delaying the contest of parties until after the routine business of the country has been " got through," but, on the contrary, much, very much, may be endangered by needlessly forcing on the sudden and immediate dissolution of the Legislature. Nowithstanding the agitation raised by the Manchester school, therefore, notwithstanding the mistaken determination arrived at by the Hon. Gentleman the Member for Wolverhampton, and notwithstanding the aggregate meeting of the Liberals convened this day at the residence of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, we look forward hopefully to the patriotic devotedness of the House of Commons, sanguine that, in spite of every specious and sinister inducement, the majority of her MAJESTY'S Opposi • don will refrain at least for the present from placing any factious obstruction in the way of her MAJESTY'S Government. The attention of fiscal and financial reformers can not be tco frequently or too urgently directed to the present position of the property and income-tax, and the peculiarly favourable opportunity thereby afforded of obtaining judicious modifications of its obnoxious and inequitable provisions. The law under which it is levied will expire at the end of the current financial year. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCUEQUER, al though fortunate in the possession of a handsome surplus, cannot possibly afford to do without the renewal of some portion, at least, of an impost which realized in Great Britain, in 1847, no less than 5,612,654/., and which may still be averaged at nearly five and a half millions of pounds sterling. Mr. DISRAELI may not desire or wish to signalise his administration of th e national finances by any mate rial red uc ti on , it w ill pro b a bl y no t b e hi s o bj ect to curry favour with the "plutocracy," or to sacrifice the interests of the community to the capitalists of Lomb—A_ • . .„,._ ssi street ; but he will likewise avoid a deficiency. culty under th e : 'finedamust,fitting substitute , either renew the expiring tax, or substitute a task of no ordinary diffi mulodst favourable circumstances, and one present state of th on which he the Ministry. be expected to enter in the mod i . s f try. He will also naturally wish to abolish or . paper which h y h some exceedingly objec tronable imposts of . an e d has already complained. The advertisement duti es tax might be got attended to the hop duties are not a view to its ultimate very productive. Even the rid of, or at least modified, with deserving of unless the un sv e er f e ar a it but for removal. Other matters, too, are notice, but none could b e Permanent and give time a : single be rene w w e ed t , year, property in equitable arrangement. That it will be renewed, then, tax x der to g is certain, but in what form ? That is the question, and it is one of vital importance to the character of the British nation, and the reputation of our leading statesm en. We cannot for a moment conceive that Mr. DISRAELI will even for a single year not merely assent to, but actually bring forward a proposition in every respe c t so untenable and so inequitable as that every species of income, n o ma tt er h ow o btained or how ever fluc tuating and pr ecar i ous it m ay be, s hould contribute to the maintenance of the national establish ments and the liquidation of the national liabilities as highly as accumulated and realized property. A man of inferior abilit ies mi ght be disposed to shelter himself under the plea of the very limited period whi ch had elapsed since his acceptance of office, or the impera tive necessity for an entire re-adjustment of taxation, and the propriety of not makin g any minor alterations until the entire fi scal schem e might be submitted fur public consideration. A cunning and unscrupu lous person would be desirous of ,leaving au embar rassing legacy to his successors, or, if pre- SUN, LONDON, pared with ,a judicious and well devised I project for its amelioration, would keep it in reserve for some pressing emergency. But BENJAMIN DISRAELI is one of a totally different mental calibre from the ordinary "red-tapists." He will never avail himself of arguments similar to those which] were: resorted to by his predecessor usque ad nauseam. When satisfied of the injustice and im policy of the measure he will not endeavour to postpone its consideration on frivolous and ridiculous pretexts, nor object to make some attempt at improvement, because he cannot at the moment bring forward &perfect proposition, which shall be'entirely free from objection. He will rather pursue the course which duty and honour alike indicate, and give the nation the benefit of the experience which he has acquired while acting as leader of the Opposition of the House of Common=, and occasionally firing at the target which the Whigs had set up, and also from: hii in vestigations as one of the Select Committee appointed to inquire into that very tax. . _ _ There can be no doubt that his mind has been' long since made up on the subject. But were it otherwise—had he to entr upon its consideration for the first time—we believe that he would not shirk a question which any actuary or respectable clerk in a merchant's office might answer in a single hour. He will also naturally be desirous of showing his real desire for improvement by means of the propositions actually brought forward, in order that they may remain on record in the Parliamentary archives, in case the factious and un • warrantable opposition now threatened should re move himself and his colleagues in the Ministry from office before they had a reasonable opportunity of developing their future policy. If the advice of Mr. COBDEN be taken, if the Ministry should be com pelled to dissolve Parliament forthwith, and to ap peal to the country ; and if they should be again defeated in the new House of Commons through a similar obstructive policy, there will be no opportunity of showing what the present Administration might have done if treated fairly and courteously. Speeches and suggestions out of office will by no means have the same weight as actual propositions when in power. We are, therefore, satisfied that, for the sake of his own reputation, and likewise as the most expedient and politic course, Mr. DISRAELI will bring forwar d in his Budget, and, possibly, indicate in his speech of Monday evening, a proposal for the equitable adjustment of the property and income-tax, and the placing it nenceforward on a more satisfactory basis. Under any circumstances, the fiscal reformers should be prepared to support him if in the right, or to direct him into the proper course if he should be clogged or hampered by the tardy movements of some of his colleagues. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday The Moniteurcontains a Presidential decree relative to the re-organization of public instruction,and another nominating Inspectors-General of superior instruc tion for letters, law, and medicine, Inspectors-General of secondary instruction for letters and sciences, and Inspectors-General of primary instruction. The PAINCE•PRESIDENT, by a third decree, fixes the salaries of the Inspectors-General at 12,000 f. for those of superior instruction, 10,000 f. for those of secondary instruction, and B,ooof. for those of primary instruction. Finally, by a fourth decree, the PRESIDENT nominates the members of the Su perior Council. The Debals says:—" It is positively stated that the organic law on the University, which has been much spoken of within the laet few days, is to be submitted to the deliberations of the Council of State, and that it will come before the Legislative body at the open ing of the session." The Corsaire mentions a report that one of the principal functionaries of the Administration of Forests has been summoned to Paris, to organize a hunting establishment for the PRINCE•PRESIDEZIT, and that the Prince DE WAGRAM is to be Grand Huntsman—a post occupied by his father under the Empire. We find the following in the Constitutionnel :—" A report is again put in circulation that the barriers of Paris are to be carried out as far as the fortifications. We can affirm that this rumour is without any foun dation. The question, it is true, has been the object of a serious examination, but all the authorities have admitted that the adoption of such•a measure would be ruinous for the greater part of the banlieue, and also for the city of Paris, which would thus have to pave and light an immense extent of ground." "We are requested," says the .Debals, "to for mally contradict all the assertions, which have been published, as to a pretended mission with which the Prince DE LIGNE is said to have been charged on the part of the King of the BELGIANS to the King of PRUSSIA and the Emperor of AUSTRIA. The visit of the Prince DE LIGNE to Germany had nothing of a political object in it." The Constilutionnel devotes a very large portion of its first page to an article by M. GRANTER DE CAS. SANAC, laudatory of the elections, laudatory of the new Legislative Body of which he is a member, lau datory of the Minister of the Interior, and laudatory, in fact, of all thathas taken place. Considering that M. GRANIER DB CASSAGNAC stands in no danger of con tradiction, it would, perhaps, be more reasonable to show a certain degree of reserve, and to allow the acts of the Government, to a certain extent, to defend themselves; for it is not probable that eu logiuna from such sources will produce half the effect that will be derived from a calm, dispassionate inves tigation of the acts of the Government, and a liberal appreciation of the motives by which they are in spired. The slightest admission in favour of those acts by journalists who are known to entertain sen timents which are anything but friendly to their authors, will do more for the Government than pages of eulogium from avowed and professional advocates. Thus, when we find journals like the Union ex pressing satisfaction eit the way in which the new le gislative body is composed, we may be sure that it does not stand in need of professional praise. The definitive armament of Paris, voted in 1846, is going on, says the Public, with great activity. The detached forts contain at the present moment nearly 6,000 pieces of cannon of different calibre intended for them and for the fortifications round Paris. A grand dinner was given by the PRINCE PRESI• DENT of the Republic, on Monday, to Lord and Lady COWLEY. Among the foreign guests present were the Marquis and Marchioness of DOUGLAS, Lord and Lady POLTIMORE, Lord and Lady GREY, and several other English persons of distinction. Count DE MORNY, M. and Mme. DROUYN DE LHUYS, the Prince and Princess DE CRAON, the Duke and Duchess DE VALENTINOIS, the Duchess of WAGRAM, and the Duchess DE GRAMMONT were also present. The Patrie says—" Count WALEWSKI, French Ambassador in London, has arrived in Paris, where he will remain for ten days. The English journals, in announcing his departure, give to the news a degree of political importance which is quite imagi nary. Count WALSWSKI has been called to Paris by private businesp, and we can positively state that there is no question either of his recal or of his being replaced in his post." The natal has the following remarks on English commerce : • " According to the defenders of the old restrictive system in England, the British flag could not fail to soon feel the evil effects of the reform of the navigation. laws, and one would suppose that from their repeal was to date the decline of the English merchant navy? But is that the case? Far from it. In 1850, the first year of the new system, England, it is well known, had no reason to complain of the part which she obtained in commercial transports. Ia 1851 the general movement of English commerce with foreign countries and the British pos sesions amounted to 13,472,000 tons of merchandise, or 1,451,000 tons more than in 1850. Out of the: aug mentation the English flag bad 310,000 tons in entries, and 186,000 in departuree, which it must be admitted is a most respectable share. It is not, consequently, in 1851 that the merchant shipping of England has to de plore its decline, the returns of the Customs proving in contestably that the general movement of business in that country has been much more considerable. And daring that memorable year of the Great Exhibition has England an instant relaxed from that constantly increasing movement of commercial labour and pros perity? No; she indefatigably pursued her task; her exports, which were of a value of 1,643,000,000 f. in 1850, rose to 1,712,000,000 f. in 1851. In place of 5 7,000,000 yards of woollen goods, it is 62,000,000 which she delivered to foreign commerce; in placs of 1 . 22 2,000,000 of yards or cotton goods (about 309,000 lea gues), it is 1,400,000,000 of yards which she dis persed over the globe; in place of 774,000 tons of cast ings of iron, and 3,352,000 tons of coals, her establish mentspaithin.theinother branches . of business, and her soil furnished to foreign manufacturers .- - i i v :i c 7,000 tons of coal, 921,000 tons of iron; and so on 27 830 - this increase in her exporte, there being ,0001. in place of 26 0 00f.

T 1 AN EDITOR AT A DISCOUNT.--The Protectionists advertised the other day for an Editor for a Protectionist Paper, who was to receive, byway of , 4 salary, to begin with, fifty pounds per annum." It is all very well to offer fifty pounds a-year to " begin with ;" but it is obvious, that to «g.) on " with such a salary would be quite impossible. As his duties would call upon him to write in favour of dear corn, he would be actually working to take the bread out of his own mouth ; for if he succeeded in writing up the quartern loaf to it s f orme r price, he would be obliged to accept half a loaf instead of a whole one. We do not question the suffi ciency of the salary, as tim es - 0 - g ; for the intellect that would undertake to advocate Protectionist principles, would, per haps, be adequately valued at one pound per week, or fifty pounds per annum. No -.0 one with sufficient sense to qualify him for a railway portership, or a light suburban beadledom, would condescend to the situation of a Protectionist Editor; and we think it, therefore, unfair of any one to complain of the salary being inadequate to the article required.—Punch.

CITY SEWERS EXPENDITITRE.—From a statement, very much in detail, of the accounts of the Commissioners of Sewers of the City of London, comprehending the revenue and expeaditure for the year, between Michaelmas, 1850, and Michaelmas, 1851, we collect the following facts : That on the consolidated account and sewers account together their revenue amounted to 74,9771. 1 ls. 4d. ; and their expendi ture comprised the following items : For paving streets, 19,8721. 7s. 6d. ; for light i ng l am p s , 10,6151. 19 s. 6d .; f or cleansing streets, 5,694/. 1 ls. ; for salaries, wages of work men employed, collection, commission, &c., 7,8871. 19s. 10d.; improvements in widening streets, &c., 2,233/. 9s. 10d. ; for sanitary works, 1,453/. Bs. 6d. ; for new sewers and drains, 3, 71 9 1 . OS. 4d. ; for annuities on life, paying off an old debt, 2,4441. 103. ; for various works, 1,953/. 16s. 7d. ; for cleansing and repairing sewers, 8,1281. 16s. 6d. ; for Parliamentary ex• penses and law charges, 1,1771. 17s. 2d.; for rents and taxes, 348'. 3s. sd. ; for sundries, 773/. 4s. 9d. The balance which remains will, it i s cons id ere d lik e l y, b e swa ll owe d up in future years by th e i ncreased cost of street cleans i ng an d other sanitary i mprovements. The accounts have been au dited by public accountants, as well as by the commissioners, who ex pressed their approbation of the s ystem on which they had been for the first time thus prepared and kept in their office by their chief clerk. from Fat 9.—An officer arrived hero by steamer last n ight , 1 'ch had TOE CAPE of GOOD HorE.—PLYMouTir, MARCII Fal mouth, where he had laaded from the Ceres, which that touched at Sierra Leone on her way home. the Bosphorus screw steam-ship had m had e been delayed boisterous passage on her way out, andn her homeward nine days on her voyage.

But this last article, we should bear in mind, is essentially French. It is well known that it is we who furnish gloves to the ladies and gentlemen of the three kingdoms; and yet on this occasion we furnish them with only 2,842,271 pairs, in place of 3,260,00 0 in 1850. On the other hand, an im portation of an interest infinitely greater for the prospe rityootooo of nations, that of corn and flour, has again in creased this year. From 7,721;000 quarters corn has , and flour has passed from 5,363,000. All that makes, for 18 of hectolitres, or little more than what we imported in the calamitous year of 1847.

On the 4th, his MAJESTY, a ccompanied by hi s guest , the Grand Duke CONSTANTINE of Russia, reviewed the troops of the garrison ; after which he proceeded to visit the forts newly constructed on the south of the town. His MAJESTY then returned to his Palace and received deputations from the city and province of Brescia, and those of Mantua. His MAJESTY then partook of a splendid banquet with the Grand Duke CONSTANTINE, the Duke of MODENA, Duke of PARMA, Field-Marshal RADETZKY, and other distinguished personages, covers being laid for 60 ; after which he left by railway for Venice. The Emperor of AUSTRIA, accompanied by the Archduke CHARLES FERDINAND, the Duke of PARMA, and Count DE GRUNNE, an aide-de-camp of his MA JESTY, landed at Rovigno on the .5t13, after a very stormy passage from Venice, and immediately con tinued his journey by land to Trieste.

" We, the undersigned, g been appointed to ar bitrate between the Exe cut i ve Committee of Tribunals of Commerce' and Mr. Frarcia Lyne, on the two fol lowing points, viz:—' Whether Mr. Lyno was entitled to withhold the amount of 1011. 2s. 91, being balance of moneys received by him on behalf of Tribunals of Com merce;' and, eecendly, whether his resignation Ives ever proposed by himself; and if so, whether it was duly and properly accepted,' do hereby adjudge,— " First. That inasmuch as the amount of 1011. 2s. 9d. was money collected for the use of the movement for the promotion of Tribunals of Commerce ' such sum ought to have been paid int o one o f the bankers to that move ment; but as Mr. Lyn, has paid that amount to Mr. R. C. Polhill, by whom it has been paid into the bankers, and as Mr. Lyne, by withdrawing his action at law against Mr. Polhill, has virtually recognized such appro priation of it, no further step is required to be taken on the part of the arbitrators with respect to it. " Secondly. It is our opinion that Mr. Lyne substan tially, though not formally, tendered his resignation as honorary secretary, by his letter of the 9th December, addressed to the pecuniary subscribers; but inasmuch as the power of appointing and dismissing all officers rested on ly with the executive committee, the meeting of the 17th December was not properly constituted to accept such resignation. " We deem it right to express our sense of the energy and z:al displayed by Mr. Lyne in promotirg the form ation of Tribunals of Commerce, and our conviction that Mr. Lyne, and all parties, have been influenced throughout these transactions by no other motive than an honest and sincere desire to promote, to the best of their power, the interest intrusted to their charge; and we trust that any unpleasant feelings which may have existed for a moment will be buried in oblivion, and that all other considerations will be merged in the paramount one of endeavouring to promote, in the most effectual way, the establishment of tribunals, which promise to be so advantagcous to the commercial interests of this country. " Considering that Mr. Lyne was the originator of the movement for Tribunals of Commerce, and that he was permitted by the executive committee to carry on that movement on his own responsibility up to a very recent period, we recommend that all expenses that he may have incurred, strictly connected with the move ment, should be reimbursed to him out of the funds collected for the promotion of the Tribunals of Com merce. We further recommend an increase of the ex ecutive committee." The Amsterdam Stock Market on the 9t a b w i o ns a t n l . a a s_ rather favour - 03k for Dutch Bonds.

Baker was indebted to defendao for clothes, and it was agreed between them to write off the account, one against the oth w e as nor. Ba contends ker subec quently left plaintiff's se rvice, and it w that Baker was not authorised to receive payment, ocl that an agent could not set off a private debt of his owo against a debt duo to the principal.
