What England has long requir ed, and what she requ ir e s more than .ever at the pr esent jrtnct e ' i s a strong Government. Those will be recognised as the true patriots, those will be the states men invested with the rational confid ence, who firs t secure to the people of these islands the advantages of a symme trical and vigorous Administration. It matters little whether the Prime idinister call himself a Liberal or a Conservative —it matters little whether he be long to this party or to that party, whether hi s " colours" be the colours of Toryism, or the colours of Whiggiam, or the colours of Radicalism— so long as he contrives to establish a powerful and energetic Government, he will 29suredly com mand and i:ievitably receive the evidences of the popular gratitude. While we speak thus distinctly and advisedly. we must of course acknowl.dge that one or two sections at least cf our leading politi cians have been " weighed in the balance and found wanting." icobody thinks seriously of aiding the Whig s to return to power—apower to which they clang with such desperate and vam ire-like tenacity --during nearly ....13 i ; but the patience of a magnanimous and peat, e t j a ll o ft r a . ,, in _g population• 'Nobody, we re the pre , elit c c i p.e , thinks of : the Whigs et Empire the advantages as likely to obtain for the British body unfortuna,enitages of a strong Government. No y can look seriously to the Peelites —for a different a reason more honourable, - but none the le ss I r n a "' principal characters i rneuntable.

A t itl ir WE th h e LL n t e h l : Parlianient. Peelitee, neve rtheless, still retch att the authority wield e d by th e eadth to political heir illus trious cleiefrain of that emio ent cluster o f statesmen, Deprived of the acnnd j u dgment o f Si r GEORGE CLeeee and of the brilliant capacities ‘.f the li or GsonGE SLIYTIEI, the Peelites still retain th e colt , mendingtalents of Sir JAMES GRAHAM , facile Princeps among a throng of legi3lators, each of whom is not unworthy of .le,ing the leader of a departme n t. Upon Sir James G rAu ,uyi we look 25 u p on t he Future Prime Minister' - 1 of Eng.and. But Sir JAMES must " bide 3 time." h- 1 At rese nt he is a chieftain p surrounded by c 1 d staff —but gallant . • . . and diAinguiiie . without an army ! He must wait for the opporta nitiez cf a political conscription.. Until then, as the organizer of a Cabinet he must be re arje3, even b y the most cordial bympatt: sera in g his -olio '— t J 7 as alto ' gather impracticable. Already we have that,remarked : the IVb'g3 have TitiE SUN, LONDON, shown themselves incapable of forming an efficient Ministry, by oppressing the minds of their sup porters with the sense of a grievous disap pointment. It 13 for this reason that on I all heeds the notion is discarded of any restoration of the Whigs, with Lord JOHN Rus- SELL in his old post as First Lord of the Treasury. " Lord JoHN, we lo?e aou well, but never more be Premier of ours"—is the thought of every sincere and conscientious Reformer. People talk of the re-organization of the Whigs under the superinten dence of the Earl of CLARENDON. But even such a scheme implies that the family compact must still be yielded to as authoritative—and the people are heartily sick of the GREYS and the EL MOTS, if they still entertain a " sneaking kindness" for the VILLIERS and the RUS" SELLS. Insomuch has the former feeling obtained a mastery over the minds of the electors, that very recently we have seen the best of all the family of the GREYS, we mean, of course, the late Ho me Se cretary, discarded by his f o r me r constituency , as if in a summary and unreasoning vengeance upon his sr name. As to the suggestion that a compromise might be effected by entrusting the responsibility 9f the Premiership for the time being to the venerable and revered Marquis of LANSDOWNE--it betrays on the face of it an air of extravagance: for senectude cannot surely be expected to restore vigour to what is obviously wan ting in vitality ! Besides which it WAS only the other day that the aged Marquis of LANSDOWNE—deservedly respected and touchingly eulogised by all parties indiscriminately—formally withdrew from the cares of public life, exchan g i ng the anxieties of his prolonged career as a politician for the luxuries of an honoured and honourable re tirement. It is scarcely probable that anything could no w tempt him t o resume the load of those anxieties _ m uch less that he could be induced to resume them under circumstances by which they must necessarily be very greatly multiplied, and those circumstances, too, circumstances of obvious and grievous disadvantage. It is id:e then to dream of a Whig Restoration under Lord Jolter RussELL—and still more idle to look for a —and idlest of all to ant i c i pa t e a Whig Whig re-organization un d er the Earl of C revival L An si D a rd re-invigoration under the venerable and (for all prac tical purposes) the virtually departed Marquis of LANSDOWIVE. For an interval, at least, the country has had quite enough of these Whigs—and the peo ple Consequently are, at any rate, for the time being, anything of the sway of vtig nytlaingbutdispose Th dt gsm. to yearn for the re-eleva tion Viscount PALMERSTON, no less than Sir JAMES GRAHAM, is without an army of followers looking up to him with feelings of devoted allegiance. His genius, his popularity, and his experience would be inestimable, as constituting a talisman of strength to another statesman's Government. From Lord PAL MERSTON individually, therefore, it were frivolous at this juncture to expect that England is to obtain the boon of a powerful and efficient Administration. From Sir JAMES GaanAat —in Gon's good time—we look for the construction of a liberal and authoritative Ca binet, overshadowed by the memory and inapired by the principles of his renowned and lamented col league. From the Whigs, whether guided by Rus- SELL, or CLARENDON, or,LANSDOWNE, it were absurd to await the speedy consolidation of a strong Go - verament. Yet we cannot but feel pereuaded that iu the new House of Commons, in the 654 recently elected representatives, there are lying dormant energies capable of being collected together for the construc tion of a stable, efficient, and energetic Administration. A golden opportunity is at this moment within reach of the grasp of the Earl of DERBY. Will he allow that opportunity to be lost, or will he, by availing himself of it, secure the gratitude of his con temporaries, and the admiration of posterity ? The question is momentous. Let the answer of the Noble Lord be duly deliberated, and let it be pro nounced by him with a proper appreciation of the heavy and sublime responsibilities of his position as leader at this fearful crisis of the great English Go vernment. His intended policy has not hitherto been announced. Protection can no longer be regarded as a subject of dispute, for the Free trade system is at length formally allowed on all sides to be entirely beyond the reach of destruction. Let the Earl of DERBY then—after settling for once and for ever, in October, this terrible source of heart burnings among the agriculturists—place himself at the head of the grand and systematic, and progressive movement of reform, and he may at once secure to old England the blessings of a strong and able Admi nistration. His " antecedents" are, assuredly, many of them, such as might lead us to hope from him the avowal of some such gallant and chival rous determination. He was that Mr. STANLEY, for instance, whose eloquence in the House of Commons mainly secured the triumphal passage of the Reform Bill through the lower branch of the Legislature. He was subsequently one of the most efficient adminis trators in the list of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Government. Let him comprehend his position at this juncture correctly, and the compact body of 284 M.P.' d now marshalled under his Minist erial banner s may be enhanced to something larger tban a mere working majerity. Let him misapp rehend the nature of the existing opportunity, and power will slip fr om hi s grasp like a handful of sand. Let him consider the tendencies of the age c orrectl y , and " o STANLEY, on !" will be the political battle-cry on the lips and in the hearts of Englishmen. The ninth annual report of the Council of the So ciety for Promoting the A mendment o f the Law — which will be found in ano ther p ar t of this day's irn pression—contains a very interesting account of the progress of law reform during the past year, for a great portion of which the society is entitled to claim credit. We have so often referred in laudatory terms to the zealous, disinterested, and highly efficient labours of the society, that it is almost a work of supererogation to use the language of ordinary praise re: petting the indefatigable exertions which have already produced such beneficial results. We do not, however, the less appreciate the important services rendered to the community by the several sub-committees, as well as by the Council itself. It was not merely useful hints that were thrown out, or the direction of the Legisla td_ e attention t o the evils of the existing system. Legal reformers of less learning and practical experi ence might have discovered the disease, although un able to provide suitable remedies. The society, how ever, nu mbered among its members men who, although they had achieved high professional rank, and were fully occupi e d w i th their individualpursuits were yet willin g t o A p undertake .tx)/eteliwsleY for the pagers of the hi nrendb°erelaid and we , ke t u r t to the discharge of the highest order advantage. They brought orLadditional kbours gratui no paid commissioner s e ve r e Labour of love, Y to assert that more important services to the commodity, or investigated closely the subjects submitted to their scrutiny, more the unpaid committees than of the, _ Law Reform Asto cietion. It was to be expected that the report should dwell with so me degree of complacency on - the fact of the fu ll reco g nition, and frequent ad option h legal a uthorities, and by the L teY the h i g hest egislatur e - itself of the views originally promulgated by means otthe repo is and resolutions of the society, i n uo. • ' that have occupied the attention of tieing the suhtec bs the association during the p .att year, the qu es ti ons that have since been dis P es9— A o f could not b e overlooked, an d it would have been a fals e modesty to have avoided clairoilT the credit of . having not only oriehiated, b u t fully worked .5 out the probl em . Th e re ie, however, no va - a boasting or undu 3 self-glorification ; on the contrary , far more might have been claimed on the part of the society, without exposing it to the imputation of seeking honour where honour was not ilistlY and fairly due. The firtt question referred to—" the fusion of law and equity"—is one in which considerable progress has been made within the year, although nothing de cisive has yet been accomplished.' The satie fact _cry w e • • orking of the united tribunals in the Transatlantic Staten, where they le eve been brought into operation, has afforded the 11:7 0 -„.. an t . . fa i out : e ' f ' mil:a:Ea° ry and conclusive eviden ce i n 11 / I :important reformation. A qualifi e d =sent to t.,10 cona P ta tlci . ple has been obtained from Cnencery the stale : Out ree ean ` a 81 ?' 1 4 8 , and we have no doubt that l'illl be adduced to satisfy the nec. scary caution' that in " :1 i l t - -'B'. limitation. Mean while the society b as n 1 . , "I the et been idle. Its special corn mitten on law and equity proceedings have not only presented three reports, recommending several mea sures for legislative adoption, but have put forward the outlines of a code by which this great alteration might be effected. On the re-construction of the Master's office, in volving its gradual abolition, the society has ample cause for self - gratu lation, althou g h it was on the r n has m s o beenre than for many years society, 0 2 i ce t 12th sanction, views y f , ‘T . anuarY last that the formal resoluti on was carried. The under Judge-Master consideration, on question and three years since we noticed the admirable articles of the It" Review , the efficient organ of the have on s t i h n i c s e received intere the interesting gtopic. Parliamentary These and we fearlessly n for the exertions of the society, s many years must have elapsed before th a t Augean rt stab th le at wo eb u u l r d st have been thoroughly purified, and the heart-break ing delays and ruinous expenditure occasioned by the mischievous system abrogated. The Common Law Procedure Act is also noticed, but not in such favourable terms. It effects a de cided improvement on the existing system, but does not grapple as boldly with the grievances as might have been anticipated. Some technicalities are got rid of, but not all. Too many forms are retained, and there are still many chances of causes being de cided on grounds different from their real merits. Nor is this by any means the worst part of the case. There is a strong probability, if not an absolute cer tainty, that heavy costs must be incurred before the obscurities and difficulties of the new code be com pletely removed. _ _ The compulsory enfranchisement of copyholds may also be booked on as in a great degree emanating from the society, and this we may say, without in any degree detracting from the reputation of Lor d ST. LEONARDS, who exerted himself so efficiently to render the measure then before the House as unob jectionable as possible, holding the balance with an even hand between landlords and tenants, andl giving due weight to the rights and privileges of all parties in any degree interested. The important change effected by the County Court Extension Act in the position of the bar, w as also strongly advocated, if not originated by the society, which may well exult in the acceptance of the resolution, almost unanimously adopted. We shall look forward hopefully to the realiz ation of the other ameliorations suggested, particularly those relating to the simplification of the transfer of land, and the establishment of a law school, with a provision for an effective examination before granting a law degree of admission to the bar. We may reasonably anticipate much from the labours of an association numbering among its members Lords BROUGHAM and CAMPBELL, and many other s of the most eminent legal refor mers o f any age or country. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. Telegraphic dispatches received by the Govern ment announce that the success o f their can didates in the elections for C ounc il s -G enera l, see., is secured. General RCGUET. aide , de-camp to the PRESIDENT, has been elected almost unanimouslyin the Haute- Garonne; General MAGeaN, in the Be e-Rhin. Ge nerel ST. ARN AUD an d th e Minister of Finance are equally successful. It is said that General D'ORNANO iS to be Chancellor of the Legion of Honour in the place of the late Marshal Exc ELMANS. M. PELLETIER has been appointed Chef de Cabinet of the Minister of State. The Patrie says it is assured the Government, in its Solicit u d e f or the measurepublicfor interest, is occupied with a very important law on p ens i ons i n diff e rent branches of the public It gives at service. g reat length the details of this measure, which consist of reductions and reforms of different kinds, but without violati on of the p rinci p les of equity and justice, and the granting o f p en si on s for real services in cases now not provided for. The Univers, which is the organ of a large portion of the Roman Catholic clergy, alludes in very strong terms to the recent trial of AcuILLI against Nsw marl, and announces a subscription for the purpose of indemnifying the defendant for the pecuniary loss that he has sustained. The Univers says— " The English courts of law have supported Achilli as English politics support what is bad. Having to pronounce between a holy and learned priest, who gave up all the advantages of the world to follow Jesus Christ, and an apostate who had denied Jesus Christ, the jurymen ot London have taken part against the priest and in favour of the apostate. France had long heard English justice boasted of; she now knows what it is. Mr. Neuman is ruined, he and his congregation. It will cost him 500,000 f. to have proved to all England that a wretch who defamed the Roman Catholic Church had been repulsed from the priesthood for the infamy of his morals. This iniquity has profoundly touched the heart of our friends. Several have called on us to open a subscription for Mr. Newman, to aid him to pay the cost of his trial. We can, un fortunately, only offer him an obelus. W e h ave not amongst us here those fortunes which give a sub vention of a million sterling every year for the propaga tion of the Bible. Bat even should that obelus only serve to buy a atone of the chapel at Birmingham, it would testify at least the sympathy of the Roma n C a th o li cs o f France for one of the most illustrious of their brethren in England. At the same time, it would oppose to the impudent verdict of the London jury that of another jury, the number and quality of which will not allow any one to be ignorant on which side justice is to be found. if there was any need to fix public opinion on the subject, the first name which we have to mark down would suffice to do it, The venerable exiled Archbishop of Turin, having heard that we had some idea of this subscription, at once sent us his offering." A. Paris letter, in the Independanes of Brussels, sa v s -1. Tile contract for building the new Crystal Palace, w hich will take the name ot the Palais Napeleoe, has, it is said, been given to a company represented by two architects, MM. Yid and Dujardin. This company will take upon itself all the costs. It will have the pews r of letting the building, and at the time of the exhibi tions will treat with the Govelbroment for the price. After a certain period (it is said forty years) the building will become the property of the State. The works will com mence as soon as the definitive concession shall have been made." _ _ One of the courts-mrrtial which assembled after the events of December in the department of the Nievre condemned to death a man named TRoTTEY, alias BEL CEIL, alias LANNY, for having t a k en an active part in the insurrection at Clamecy, and in the atrocities which were then committed. This sentence was quashed tor some technical informality. A new trial took place, and TRoTTEY was condemned to transportation with imprisonment. That second sen tence was, however, also set aside for irregularity, and a third trial took place a few days ago before a court martial at Clermont. It was proved that the prisoner was one of the most violent and dangerous of the in• surgents at Clamecy, and that when arrested he stabbed and nearly killed a gendarme with a pair of scissors. The soldiers were so exasperated against him that they were disposed to kill him on the spot. He was stated to be notorious in the town for his bad character. In his defence he said he was a :Repub lican. The Court condemned him to be transported, with imprisonment. Two men named C2RA9SE and CUI3INIER, who dis played the greatest ferocity during the sanguinary scenes enacted at Clamacy, in December last, and who had been condemned, to death by the court martial, underwent their sentence on Saturday last in that town. They had appealed against it, but examination into the circumstances connected with them only made their guilt more apparent, and they were left to their fate. A large crowd was present at the execution, but everything passed off in the most perfect order. Yesterday was settling day at the Boarse for railway shares, and a slight reaction took place in the price of public securitics.

It has been asserted that the Duke of SAXE COBURG had drawn up a memorial on the subject, but it now appears he does not intend to make it known until after the formal decision of the Diet shall be known. The German journals state that the Princess of \VASA, whose marriage with the PRINCE PRESIDENT of the Republic is spoken of, was born in 1833, and is named CAROLINE. Her father, the Prince Gus- TANTS WASH, is, they say, the great grandson of ADOLPHUS FREDERICK, Duke of Holstein Gottorp, who was declared heir of the Swedish throne on the 3d July, 1743, and became KING on the sth April, 1751. The elder branch of the house of Holstein Gottorp is represented by the reigning family of Rus sia. The young Princess is, it is added, distinguished by her beauty and moral qualities. She has just em • braced the Catholic religion. TURKE Y . We learn by accounts from Constantinople, dated the 19th, that th e E ngl i sh charge d'affaires, Colonel ROSE, has at len gt h succeeded in imprison i ng t h e culprits who committed the villanous assault on the peaceful passeng ers o f the Victory. Six Tur k s h ave been made ov er to the local authorities, and are at present in prison until their culpability is proved, and their punishment pronounced by the police tribunal. The diplomatic question on the rights of the Turks to prevent British or foreign steamers to land their passengers on t h e wharfs along the Bosphorus is, however, Beiram. left untouched for discussion after the The extent to which steam-navigation has taken place lately is interesting and wonderful. Fourteen steamers now ply at all h ou r s o f the day between the capital and the p i c t ure: clue villages situated along th e Bosphorus. The most animated sight, however, is about six in the evening, when they all start from the Galata Bridge, and each tries to get ahea4 o f t h e other. The Turkish Company is the most Powerful, and their steamers (recently built in Engla n d) the best adapted for the Bosphorus; but the English boats are by far the most active. Competition has not yet commenced. There is bu siness for all. It is not so with the Turkish and Austrian companies; they are at daggers drawn. The Lloyd, which runs between Trebizond, Salonica, and sundry Turkish ports, has lowered its prices. The Turks who run in opposition have done so also, and for the last three months passengers from the provincial ports have been taken at 2-'. and Is. par head. The Austrian steamer, even some fortnight age, came down crowded with passengers received gratis. The best part of the affair is that both parties have announced that they will continue this ruin; us opposition until one of the companies with draws. The firman necessary to the Charlemagne to pass the DarodnPlles was sent in to the French Legation the 15 t 11 inst. It appears there is still a misunderstanding regardi ng the wording of this document. The French affect offence with the Turks for having inserted in the finnan that Mr. LAVALETTE is to be on board. They contend that such a clause destroys the value they attach to the paper, and places their national honour in a false position, and that the Charlemagne comes up, not Mr. LAVALETTE, who may come in any Government steamer he pleases.

CITY, The sales of C o t ton at Liverpool yest er d ay amounted to 10,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were taken for exportation, and 300 ditto and 500 Surat on specula tion. The market closed with a firm appearance. The sales comprised 8,400 American, 100 Bahia, at 6j1.; 500 Egyptian, at 6f. to 11 d ; and 1,000 Surat, at 34cl to 4id —The Railway Share Market was dull, and prices declined. Mr. H. W. Eaton reports of the Silk m rket as fol lows:—" In the early part of July the Silk market was by no means active, but the unloading of the steamer from India and Chine, with about 1,200 bales, and of other ships at the same time, has subsequently created a considerable business. The Chinas consisted chiefly of Tayssam, both long and short reel, and throwns, all of which have found a ready sale. In Chinas alone about 1,500 bales must have changed hands. The latest ad vices from China report the Silk season as closed, and estimate the total shipments, from Ist July, 1851, to lat June, 1852, at about 21,500 bales. Of these 18,400 have already arrived." Having served an electioneering purpose, viz., not to offend the agriculturists vitt° may be growers of chicory, the ' Chancellor •of the Exchequer bas done pre cisely whet we expected, allowed a Treasury order to issue forbidding the almixturo of coffee with the inferior substance, by rescinding the regulation of 1840. The official notice has not yet been promulgated, but the Excise have received it, we are told. In the Amsterdam Stc:ik Market on the 2d instant Dutch Stock was firm, and the Two.and-a-Half per Cents. closed at 61i. Foreign Bonds were snpported The Lisbon advices concerning the dissolution of the Cortes have excited much regret, and the creditors are naturally anxious to hear whether the Junta will order the payment of the dividend up to the time when the decree was promulgated. As to the arrears, these will have to remain until another Cortes meets, and the Go vernment seems resolved to push its unjust schemes in reference thereto. Bills were taken at advanced rates yesterday on all the principal cities of the Continent. Paris, 90 days, was negotiated at 25 47i to 50, Antwerp at 25 52 to 55, and AmsTerdam at 12 1 to 14.

English Stock Market has continued very heavy, and Consols have been done at par for both Money and Account.
