It cannot be repeated too often, that upon the can dour with which her MAJESTY'S Ministers recogni se 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 disclo sure of their views we have all of us been anxi" "4 1 5- looking forward ovor sine?, lAA February. Until now;, without , any other results, save those of procrastination and disappointment. Mag nanimity prompted us during the last Parliamentary bideits steirnss,iio,nutuot,a‘liowe the Ministry peacefully ti‘ in some I : l i e : lir difficulties of its position had been o a vrquished. It was felt that before any deliberate comprehensive revelation of the Ministerial Ppoliaeliy:co:lad be reasonably demanded from the Earl of colleagues, they should be first of all Permittedntehis. male a formal appeal to the country, so as to proposed plans to able them to submit their ° new Parliament, t t .. considerati on o f a b. en now formall `lac* id what w i ser i s the y elect ri nat Parliame n t h as nation at this moment th an to the policy of the DkRB, G B I I X months ego as learn`, of course, that the Cabinet 11773441 et?

According to the nitural deductions thus capable o Ving drawn—it appe ars likely that the Cabinet will be in favour of a variety of important reform; lon::, , and fervently desired by the population. Legal reforms, indeed, have been explicitly promised by the Government. Sanitary reforms have been hinted at. Fiscal reforms hive been shown to be already " looming in the future , ' the " according to phrase w well-known of the CHANCiLLOA of the E ICHEQUEX . Fur- nu;hiug. C . E.3 TILE SUN, 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 perpetual 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 Ad m inistration. If continued much longer, it must necessarily diminish even their restricted popularity. Everybody seems to be per fectly aware of this except her MAJESTY'S Ministers themselves ! After tantalizing the community by a series of the most agonizing procrastinations, they have again deferred meeting the newly-elected repree sentatives until a period in the ensuing autumn when the year will be too far advanced for any lengthened 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 1853 has again brought the Im perial Legislators together for the dispatch of busi ness. The public were heartily tired of this four or five weeks since. They have come at last to regard it as 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 r t o a ah sli c entrusted to his G overnmen t beyond the 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. Margaret'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 evasions on the part of her more remarkable states men. The Cabinet certain of best securing her sympathies and com manding her confidence 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 DERBY Administration consent to dwindle to that insignificance ? It commenced its existence with a bearing eminently chivalrous. Its distinguished leader spoke as became a STANLEY in February. Since which time the Earl of DERBY appears to have lapsed into asilence as profound ni 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 has been returned to ram remarkable vessel of the State H.M.S. the Lower ll°use 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 Tow n C oun cil of Leeds, at their last sittin g, opened a ve r y i m portant questi .n, namtll7, th at of cutnmereial law consolidation. It hut ceived the notice of the Leeds Chamber of Commerce, by whom, indeed, the co-operation of the Municipa Council was solicited. Sir GEORGE GooDMAN (lately Mayor of Lee3s, and now Alderman and M.P. for the borough), opened the question by reading communications addressed to the Mayor by the Earl of HARROWBY aad 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 simplifying and consolidating these laws, and by abrogating the present conflicting and, in mcmo instances, extremely pernicious laws, in regard to commercial matters, LONDON, 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, and 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 way 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 o f act i on upon it. The leading points of the question must be diffused 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 Parlia 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 tekieg up the question with a view to its being fully and searchingly investigated. On a public topic like this, when strongly brought before them, the Government must become " squeez- able." If the Chambers of Commerce are unanintollB) 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 is he ad annoyances, they c a a n nd no t w l h o e n n g e s r u ch be endurem a t ter d s . r e l a t a a c m er a t t a te m r of time, but its finale is certain. FHE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. M. TIMM arrived in Paris on -Tuesday. The Moniteur contains a decree from the PUESI DENT of the Republic, promoting M. ABATUCCI, Minister of Justice, and M. BILLAULT, President of the Legislative Corps, to the rank of officers of the Legion of Honour. The Moniteur also contains a decree according to 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 Al. CUAMBOLLE was about to leave Vevey, where he has been residing, and re- turn to France with his family. The Interet Public of Caen states that on the occa sion of the fete of the 15th the PRINCE PRESIDENT has pardoned thirty prisoners confined in the prison at Beaulieu. The Archbishop of PARIS, who has left Paris on a journey into Germany, has taken the Strasburg Railway, and will, it is said, go through Holland, t o Vienna, and r e t urn t o F rance t h r ough Belgium. The PRINCE PRESIDENT, on the report . of the Minister of F o r e i gn Aff a i rs , has 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 o f serious comments among political men in Germany. A. Berlin journal, the Wehr-Zettung has just pub lished an article on the subject, which has, it is said, caused 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 MOREAU. The left bank of the Rhine from Strasburg to Bale was to be the b as i s of operati on o f the army of invasion. Strasburg, in fact, will a l wa y s remain the principal stronghold, and the point of support of the left wing of the army. This place is now only a few hours' distanceirom Paris. France may in a few days concentrate an army behind the Rhine, and all the resources of the country, troops, money, and provisions, are alt near the seat of operations.' There is nothing new in these remarks. If 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 be attributed, if not to the two nations, at least to the Governments which preside over the destinies of France and Germany. So long as it is known that Germany is ready to repel with energy au army which should threaten her territory, an in vasion by Strasburg is not to be feared. Besides, the policy of France continues to be satisfactory." Government securities were wore firm at the Bourso to-day than yesterday. The Four-and-a-Half pa.

S YB 13K MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. 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 Marauham, at bid. to 7d.; .200 Bahia, at 61d. to eicl.; 300 Egyptian, at 61d. to 70.; and 500 Surat, at 3/(1. to 41d. per lb.—Railway Shares were firm, at rattier higher prices. In the Produce Markets this week the dealings have been to a moderate extent, and almost wholly for con sumption. The principal staples have supported about former rates, and Coffee has slightly tended upwards. Some Spices are rather lower, and Rice is not in so much request. Brandy has still a ready sale, and Cotton is taken more freely. Tallow has been steady. For Con gnu Teas the demand has been kept up. Jute is held for high prices. Wool is firm. The necessity of devising new means to cheapen and facilitate the production of sugar in our West India possessions must be too well understood at this day to need much illustration or enforcement. What remains to be done, and what has teen accomplished in other countries, it is, however, important to show. Both in Cuba and the United States, the owner or manager of a property, as we are informed, now employs for the crop an experienced sugar maker, who has the manufac turing process entirely and exclusively under his ma nagement and care. He is entitled to this situation from having established the character of being thoroughly acquainted with his business; he has generally some knowledge of chemistry—ho possesses the latest and most useful information of all the improvements that have been discovered and recently known—the books and instruments required by a mau who has made this manufacture his 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 ono 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 capital in any of the very many recent improve merits in machinery, &c., in the manufactu re 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 to try, and deserves to have their earnest consideration. They must keep in mind that Barbadoes has lately doubled the crops the spirited planters formerly made; that last year, although the Wand is only the size of the parish of St. Ann, in Jamaica, with few natural advantage s, 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 larg er cro p tha n the island ever produced, under even the very favourable times of slavery and Engliah protection. There is an increasing business doing in American Securities now the fishery dispute is considered to be settled. Owing to the recent altercation with the Chath am boatmen, the committee of Lloyd's have appointed an agent for the Kentish coast specially to look to the pro tection of shipwrecked property, a measure of undoubted utility, and calculated to save much angry feeling as well as pillage. A meeting of Portuguese Bondholders is convened for next Wednesday. The miserable neglect 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 Stock 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 been 998 to for Transfer, and 99i I for Account. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. bring 1038 to . The Bank returns in this evening's Gazette will show a large increase in the bullion. The samples of Wheat shown in Mark-lane this morning from the west and, south of England are so bad tha they can scarcely be accepted as a fair crite rion, but still it is stoutly maintained that thousands of acres can bo found as bad or even worse. This naturally causes anxiety, and although the rise in Wheat is not above Is., it would speedily be much greater if the statements made should be confirmed. Consols now are rather weaker at 99i. Bank Stock is firm at 2251 to 226 i. Exchequer-bills realise 745. to 775. premium. Foreign Stocks have been steady, but there have not been such full prices obtained for Grenada, the Deferred being dealt is at 118 to 12*. Mexican Bonds are in favour at 25a to i; and Peruvian are rather better Brazilian OA Stock is worth 102 k. Equador Stock is worth 411. Spanish Now Deferred Bondi realise 218 to 2ak. Dutch Four per Cents. are 93k. Belgian Four and-a-lielf per Cents. 96 to In Railway Shares there is no decided movement. Some are looking up, including East Lancashire, Bris tol and Exeter, Amborgate, Edinburgh and Glasgow, and Midland and South Eastern; but there is a decline in Great Northern, Great Western, North-Western, and York end North Midland. Foreign Shares are dull. Gold Mines are steady. QUARTER TO THREE. C 1.3 nZ0 T .6 ••• • 04 *4O Ditto Account. Sr.pt. 8 ... ... 99;k 99.11 oli - E CLOSING PRICER OF Bitriltill FUNDS O'k)LOCK. ritICEP.

CORN EXCHANGE.-(FRIDAY.) Somewhat increased supplies of English Wheat have arrived for our markets this week, viz., 3,210 quarters, partly of the present year's growth, and in but middling condition. Fresh up to-day, by land-carriage, a few parcels came to hand, but the show of samples, of both red and white, was very moderate. Owing to the unfa vourable reports respecting the new crop, holders in ge neral were very firm, but the amount of business passing was 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 coma 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. Tho demand was far from active at late rates. Most kinds of new Matt 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, and Flour we have no change to notice. English ...... Irish ........

The supply of Beasts here to-day was on the increase, but in very middling condition. All breeds moved off slowly, and, in some instances, inferior ones had a downward tendency.

Prime Down Lambs were scarce, and quite as dear. Otherwise the Lamb trade was rather dull.
