APRIL 12, 1852. According to CICERO, it was BIAS who first pro claimed the sagacity of treating every friend as though he were ultimately to become an enemy. A more despicable sentiment than this was perhaps never propounded. Yet, from an experience of up wards of a quarter of is century, we may assert without fear of contradiction that it is precisely the opinion which appears to have been acted upon throughout his political career by Lord JoRN RUSSELL. During the period of his continuance in office the ex-Premier always contrived to fence his policy round with a sort of impenetrable chevaux-de-frieze of reservations. Within their limits the " vulgar herd" of his sup porters were never admitted ; and to this circum stance, we conceive, is mainly attri b ut able the isolated position in which the Noble Lord has always found himself placed in mom ents of more than cus tomary test the emerge ncy.stab, Whenever a crisis ar rived t o ity of ills Administration, it invariably 30 happ ened mat the late Pfinie Minister was only enabled t rally round him the placeme n whose for tunes were a Gpvernment. Pend 'at upon the maint enance of his this became so Durannotoriously the la i r, two or three sessi ons known to every political observer the case that it was well Cabinet existed on no observer that the Whig rasta"inge. The more more respect able than that of mere independ ent amon g the rufrei:acc e 'eaatives of the people shrank, upon all ',write occasions, from su pporting by their votes one on,. into power for the purpose, i t ' w „ iv l4° had only hulking the popular ambition, :and whose seem,ist of t,e, at THE SUN, LONDON, one period, for the continuance of those progressive and constitutional improvements to which he had been formerly pledged, became so apparent that he was familiarly designated Finality Jour; by the wits with a ludicrous and reproachful significance. Yield ing at length to the pressure of political circum stances, and to those onward influences of the age which the genius of statesmanship has hitherto dis covered to be altogether irresistible—Lord JOHN RUSSELL consented, it is true, once more to take the initiative as a Reformer, and by so doing elevated him self to the head of what at the outset was presumed to be a liberal and energetic Government. How the specious promises of the Noble Lord were falsified the country has learnt through six years' bitter experience. How the affected principles of the so-called leader of the Reformers were one by one: either wholly and marvellously abandoned, or distorted into the most despicable shadow of Conservatism, it is scarcely, we believe, necessary to demonstrate. The records of the past Administration constitute a sufficient evidence of this to show the hollowness of the policy which the formation of the Whig Ministry in 1846 was sup posed to inaugurate. Among the annals of the departed Government, among the catalogue of its achievements, can the nation detect any assurance that its interests were not for the most part flagrantly and deliberately for saken ? What advantage has the late Cabinet as sured to us in the way of education? What sub stantial benefit in the way of sanitary improvements ? What in the way of practical reforms, whether in the administration of the law or in the organization of Parliament? Ample opportunity, it must be allowed even by themselves, was afforded in regard to time, and how far consequently can they be shown in a single instance to have availed themselves of that opportunity ? Six years elapsed during their posses sion of office and during those six years—what was done by the Whigs towards ameliorating the old and bitterly operating system of taxation ? How about the unequal and grinding tax upon incomes ? How about the prevention of bribery by the ballot ? How about the more equal distribution of the electoral districts ? How about the rational carrying out of the wished-for scheme of retrenchment ? How about the currency ? About Ireland ? About the Criminal Code ? About the machinery of colo nial government and all the other blatant evils which had for years been crying out for some grand effort of administrative interposition ? Why—reviewing the whole series of these impor tant questions, and looking for their elucidation to the fruits of the Ministerial labours of Lord JOHN RUSSELL and his colleagues—we can discern on all sides little more than the most deplorable evidence of indolence and procrastination. The people of England are as far off as ever from the chance of enjoying any comprehensive system of a really na tional and not sectarian system of education. Of sanitary innovations we have heard, no doubt, more than enough, but as yet the public knows little more in regard to them than that it has had to supply annual salaries to Mr. EDWIN CHADWICK and his ' brother Commissioners. The Extramural Interments Act for the metropolis we ourselves have re peatedly shown to be nothing better than a delusion—se eing that the enactment up to the present moment has actually proved to be a dead letter. For the majority of the legal reforms effected of late the, nation has been indebted to in dividual Reformers like my Lord BROUGHAM, and not to the collective Government., The multitude are still as lamentably as heretofore under the effects of the old blundering system of taxatioa, and if the tax upon incomes expired with the sth of this present April, we are indebted for that boon, not by any means to the members of the recent Cabinet,' but to the veteran representative of Montrose, and to the non-interference of the existing Government. Then as to the ballot, although it was called, in official slang, an "open question" under the Whigs, it was virtually tabooed by them, and practically neglected as one among the chimerical dreams and Quixotic ventures of Democracy. The electoral districts are not less preposterously unequal in the proportion between their dimensions and the respective number of their representatives than at the period of the formation of the departed Government. Something has been done, it is true, in the way of retrenchment, but contrast that " something" with what still remains to be accom plished, and the effected economy dwindles to abso lute insignificance. As to the colonies, the popula tion of the United Kingdom know rather too well how inefficacious has been the policy pursued towards them by the Chief Secretary of the late Administration. Whatever credit, in fine, devolves upon that Government for its proceedings during the six years of its supremacy is restricted to Sir GEORGE GREY, as Home Secretary, to the Earl of CLARENDON (who was not a Cabinet Minister), as Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland—and more especially, and we may add, im measurably beyond all, to the very statesman who was treated with such ingratitude by the ex-Premier, the statesman whose popularity was the sole talisman of his own power, the statesman to whom his Govern ment was indebted for the glory of maintain ing peace with Europe during a tremendous sequence of revolutions—need we specify by name the late Foreign Secretary ? These are the men upon the value of whose promises the country will very speedily have to decide. Will the nation resign its destinies for another seven years to their keeping —or will it look for more honesty and more reliance in its Reformers? The most sceptical are at length convinced. Even the loudest scoffers are compelled unwillingly to acknowledge that there is "no mistake" es to the almost miraculous yield of the Australian gold fields. All that the most vivid imagination could picture to itself—as to wealth, boundless, immeasureable—has been more than realised. ALADDIN'S lamp has ap parently been brought to light in the nineteenth cen tury, and the most valuable of the precious metals lies scattered in rich profusion on the very surface of therequiring hands to collect the incal culable earth, stores only supplied b y nature, in al most reckless prodigality es . I The Australian accounts by each suc cessiveg seappear like the creations of the rather than credible statements, di v t wildest fictio n, emanating from ear not on be by trustworthy sources, and y tot when tested by the results, they no means exaggerated , s the supply single di s t r i c t. The intelligence limited to a astonishi ng reality ; n or i but app far below the even c e from one locality is excee d ed by that su bsequently received from an other. Th ere are L a k e Bathurst an d t h e M u l warre Ponds, G ee l ong, Ballarat, an d Mount Alexander, the Turon the Sydney Valley,it diggins," all affording - a pparently inexh aust ibl e sup plies. room enough f or every man who There is, in fact, pleases to take out his lice nce , and From the l as t accounts we find that his way t o th e auriferous localities. with shovel, pickaxe or cradle, find actually engaged at the Sydney mines are estimated e o r w it to is 3o 7 o si o ti v v e el r at from 8,000 to 10 the numbers ,000, while at Ballarat and Mount A fro le m xa 2 n o d , L a :1 5 s sfeurltleyd. occupied, that d. are f we take into account those working it is rather under the mark to state m other localities, that there are at least 40,000 indi v id ua l s searching for oh colonies at this momen t. If , then, gold in in our own man takes out a licence at the present rate of 3L P there will at once be a revenue of 1")0,000/. :r month, or 1,440,0001. per annum, an income per men sem , nt to bear all the expenses of th e co l ony, and to pr well-devised system of e m i gra ti on to the promote a abundance for all, where no man's labour is unprofiof able, but where every person, able and willing tto employ. work, is certain of obtaining remunerative - loy. ment. Let us now consider the quantities of gold that these 40,000 miners have obtained, are obtain ing, and are still likely to obtain. We find that within the past week gold to the amount of 378,000/. has been received in London, and that 100,0001. more is daily expected. We give the details : The Melbourne brought 200,000/. ; the Alert, 128,000/. ; the Blackfriar and Bolivar 50,000/. ; and it was known that the Hero, which sailed about the same time, was bringing 100,0001. more. But this formed but a small portion of the quantity collected, as will appear from the official statements of the sums brought in by the Government escort. It ap pears that the authorities have established a weekly conveyance for receiving gold f r om the miners and it bringingto Melbourne or Gee l o n g. They re fuse, however, to guarantee its safe deli.. very, and as they charge the enormous sum of one per cent. carriage for a distance of from seventy to seventy-five miles, vast numbers refuse to comply with the extortionate demand ; by far the greater number of persons prefer conveying their ac quisitions to the nearest market themselves, so that, p to refe use r the words of the " Gold Circular," the diggers " saving the money and taking the risk." Mr. PATERSON, an eminent gold merchant at Geelong, states that during the preceding week he had pur chased 1,631 ounces of gold, and that only " one sixth of it reached him by Government escort." The amount transmitted then by the " escort" is probably in the same proportion, or about one-sixth, or, at the outside, one quarter of the bullion actually collected. Now the official returns of the gold brought by the escort give the following results, viz., on Wednesday, Nov. 19th, from Mount Alexander, 6,4860 z. ; from Ballarat, 2,117 oz. ; from Geelong, 6190 z. ; and for Government, 9160 z. ; making a total of 10,138 ounces. On Wednesday, the 26th, there were brought from the same districts 12,1060 z.; on Wednesday, 3d December, 16,6690 z. ; on 10th December, 26,6560 z. ; and on the 17th De cember, 19,4920 z. Here, then, within a single month, from the 19th November to the 17th December, was no less than 85,061 ounces ; and if we take the esti mate that one-fourth(and not one-sixth) was sent by that conveyance, the total collection would be 330,244 ounces of gold, which, at the Mint price of 31. 17s. 6d. per ounce, would make the value no less than 1,275,4151., and that exclusive of Sydney mines and other exceedingly productive districts. That this is not an over-estimate will appear on other grounds. That there are cases of extraordinary individual success is certain. It is stated that one man dug up 301 b. weight of gold in a single hour ; in another, of a man gaining 111 b. weight in 48 hours ; another case, where a man got lib. in a day. We also hear of a ship captain " bringing back 8001. for three weeks' work," and CHARLES ROBERTI, late drayman to Messrs. CAMPBELL and Co., returning with 1,1001. as his share of five weeks' digging." There are also accounts of three specimens of gold and quartz, one weighing 281 b., another 261 h., and another something less, which were estimated to contain at least one half gold, and "Peter Brennan's lump," as one magnificent specimen was denominated, actually sold for 1,300/. Now, although it cannot be supposed that lucky individuals thegeneralbodave referredy bo wouldprove tsao,f or t un ate as the from four to five ou nces p er wee k may b i e t lo about the average collection. If we take the smaller appearslooked e d o t n that t amount, the 20,000 or 30,000 miners at Mount Alexander and Ballarat, would produce about from 80,000 to 90,000 ounces per week, or say 330,000 ounces in the month, we thus arrive at the same re sult by a diffent method. Now it must be borne in mind that these astonish ingskil equantities of ff solitary h have i n d b i r 2 t e d n a aobtained working w th it e h u th n e coarsest tools ; what, then, may be anticipated from the combined exertions of carefully selected and ex perienced miners, possessing first-rate machinery and every requisite for obtaining the greatest quantity of gold from the auriferous soil? It is not too much to as sume that, with such facilities, skilful men will obtain a quadruple produce, or sixteen ounces par man a week. Now, several of the companies have already sent out competent staffs. Last month, the " Australian Mutual " dispatched between thirty and forty men, per the Asiatic. " The Australian Free hold," as appears from an advertisement in another column, sent off the remainder of their staff from Gravesend, per the Gipsy Queen, on the 6th instant. We believe that other companies have either made or are actively engaged in making similar efforts. What, then, will be the effect of such an addition to the miners in the production of gold ; and what enormous profits must th€l speculators realise on the amount of their investments ? If but the one-tenth of what has been estimated be but realised—and we cannot conceive the possibility of failure—the wildest visions of the most sanguine enthusiasts will be more than realised, and profits will be obtained exceeding any that has ever resulted from any former specula tion. Interested alarmists may croak to their hearts' content, frightening the timid and over-cautious until the literally " golden " opportunities are for ever lost ; but they cannot arrest the progress of events, or pre vent the accumulation of wealth far beyond that en- joyed at any preceding period in our national history. Those who have let slip the chance may too late lament their folly and infatuation, but the nation will have cause to rejoice when the copious supplies of the precious metal lead to the full employment of the labouring population by giving that which may be regarded as the " very life-blood of industry," a cir culating medium adequate to the wants and exigen cies of the people. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of Saturday and yesterday. The illiniteur publishes a decree regulating the course of education in the colleges of France. At the meeting of the Legislative Corps on Tues day next a message is to he presented from the PRE SIDENT of the Republic, which will contain a general review of the affairs of the country since the last message on the 12th of November, 1851. The Illoniteur contains the following satisfactory statement : " The indirect revenue increases with the most re markable rapidity. The receipts for January, 1852, had been inferior to those of 1851. The receipts for Fe bruary, 1852, exceed those of 1851 by 2,000,0001. The receipts for March, 1852, exceed those of March, 1851, by nearly 5,000,000 f. This rapid increase is a striking sign of the revival of business, and of the development of work. Amongst these elements the registry duties are particularly to be remarked; up to March they had been very trifling, and in January and February bad hardly equalled those of the corresponding months of 1851. In March they exceed those of the correspond ing month by 1,800,000 f." The Union says : " It appears certain that the grand review, which was spoken of for the beginning of May, will take place on the 10th of that month, on which occasion the eagles will be delivered to the different regiments. The whole of the Ist military division will be assembled on that day in the Champ de Mars. The various regiments will be represented by the colonel, a chef de tataillon, a captain, a standardbearer, two non-commissioned officers, and two privates. On the 4th the army of Paris will give the President a grand ball at the Ecole Militaire." A letter from Ronen states that Passion Week, which is usually remarked for a falling off in busi ness, has been this year quite the reverse. A num ber of foreigners have visited the place, and the sales have been considerable. Several large orders have also been received from Paris both for calicoes and printed cottons, and prices have been firmly main tained. Accounts from Thuron and other manufacturing districts in the Haut Rhin speak favourably of the state of trade. The machine manufacturers have been more particularly' favoured, and large orders have been received in consequence of the strike in England, which will give employment for more than a year. The journals of the south state a great drought prevails throughout all that part of France. In the memory of man the department of the Gard has never suffered so severely from a want of water. M. EMILE DE GIRLEDIN has received a formal notice of warning from the Minister of Police on the subject of his series of articles, which, under the title of " Conservons la Republique," have attracted a large share of public attention. The following is the form of the warning given by the Minister of General Police to the responsible editor of the Presse : " The Minister General of Police, considering Art. 32 of the organic law on the press, dated 17th February, 1852, "Considering the article published in the re se on the 9th inst., which contains the following passage:—` It nui (the Empire) would be w ould d irt be l irect provocation to for; an attentat, which probably ould waited for if no Alibatid was to be fo und in the Re p ublican Party, a Merino would be found in the Royalist party.' The said article signed ' Emile de Girardin.'

On the Ist he arrived at Cosne, 35 out of 185 prisoners were released, and before quitting the prison they all signed a formal engagement to renounce for ever all po litical:intrigues. On the 2d the general arrived at Cla mecy, but where, from the grat icy of the charges against them, only 52 out 0f592 prisoners were considered deserving of clemency. The general, during his mission, has directed the clemency of the Prince President more particularly on poor and ignorant men, fathers of fami lies, and sons of aged parents, at the same time that he has given pecuniary assistance to the wives and children of such as still remain in confinement." " A decree," says the Public," is shortly to fix the period of the new elections in the place of General CAVAIGNAC, M. CARNOT, M. 'TENON, and M. RE. NOUARD, who have given in their resignation as mem bers of the Legislative Body." We read in the Public :—"Art. 24 of the new Con stitution declares that the sittings of the Senate are not to be public. A journal states that the Senate intends publishing the minutes of its sittings in the manner adopted by the Legislative Body. We can affirm that the assertion of the journal in question is quite erroneous."

Bars are in very moderate demand, but the price is oonsiderably firmer. Scotch Pigs are a shade lower in price. The efforts made in Wales and Scotland to bring, about a reduction of the make have, as yet, ended in no result, nor does there seem much chance cf any such arrangement being adopted at present. Copper is firm in price and in ft.ir demand. Tin—English has been lowered in price during the month, in all ss. per cwt. on block and bar, and at 7s. per cwt. on refined. Foreign has been influenced in a slight degree, and is now firm at our quotations. Tin plates in very moderate request. Lead has been in good demand, and prices are firm.

The Augusta Schneider, chartered by the Port Philip and Colonial Gold Mining Company, sailed from Falmouth on Wednesday, with a largo staff of miners, stores, &c. About 130 sat down to supper on Monday, when all seemed much delighted, assured that every thing had been done for their comfort, and perfectly satisfied with their future prospects. As evidence of the care which has been taken we may state that three of the directors tisited Falmouth to inspect the ship, provisions, &c., previous to her departure. The party were selected by Captain W. Richards, of Redruth, and Mr. W. H. Ritchie has been appointed their superinten dent, and took out with him a large amount of sovereigns to purchase gold with immediately on his arrival in th colony of Victoria., , • The Hamburgh letters of Friday last quote bills on London rather in deinand at long date, but there was a good supply of short paper. There has been another arrival from Australia. The dates are not later, but there are miscellaneous items of interest from Port Philip. The following is a criticism upon the speech of Governor La Trobe when the Le gislature opened:— " The speech, we repeat, is a good and proper one. Its several clauses will furnish matter for more pardon i n tt the n which H ou s e; h a but we madver ted, particu lar consideration, when the m easures w hi ch they re. commend, ayreniarkare that, under in all discussionthe subjects his Excellency manifests a disposition to promote what are generally understood to be the true of the colony. Th e justice of interests of our claim upon upon the Sydney Government, the amendment of Act with especial re f erence to th the Postage e abolition of the tax on newspapers, the modification of the Electoral A ct, the supply of estimates, the re v i s i on o f the tari ff, the labour, the . educa tion of the peopl e , t h e administration o f just ice, sodt steps which th e recent gold discoveries may render i t e necessary to take, i n or d er I to tarn them into a source of good rather than evil—are, indeed, matters of grave and stirring import; and all of them are so brought for ward in the several divisions of the speech, as to show that the Government are fully alive to their real and relative interests, and anxious that they shall meet with an impartial, wise, and searching examination. " From the different notices of motions which have been already given by several members, it is sufficiently evident that there is no intention of being idle; and the motions themselves, from both sides of the House, indi cate a desire to advance the substantial welfare of the colony. The Portland Guardian contains the following para graph :—" The following intelligence has been communi. cated to us by a private letter from Adelaide. It is from a gentleman most likely to give correct information on the subject, and can therefore be relied upon :—Tbe most authentic discovery in gold yet made here is b y some German miners, on the borders of the province, in your direction, probably the quartz country, at the head of the Glenelg.
