If anything had been required to demonstrate still more clearly the abandoment of all sense of political decency by Lord JOHN RUSSELL, conclusive evidence would have been afforded by the proceedings of yes terday. Proceedings more ungenerous under the cir- T mstances have never before disgraced the annals of Parliamentary Oppesidan. Proceedings more factious of thei r ki n d have never before el i c i te d f rom th e pub lie journalist the expressions of a conscientious con demnation. It needed only this to assure us that the l ate PRIME MUSTER is entirely ignorantHisnfeotah_uee, meaning of the word mag innani . d towards his successor will be contrasted by the future annalist with that displayed towards himself by his brave-hearted and noble minded predecessor. To maintain, as Lord JOHN RUSSELL maintained yesterday, that there is any parity between the policy adopted by himself at the present juncture, and that adventured upon by Sir ROBERT PEEL in 1846, is di s i ngenuous beyond the limits even of plausibility, in reality there is no resemblance whatever between the situation of the Russell Government then and that of the Derby Go vernment now-a -drys. There is an absence of all simi larity even in appearance. The present Cabin et has own aga been called into existen ce not through itss rero eager assiduity in striving to a ttain the power andw tives of aiministratiou. It Las been suddenly and unexpectedly summoned into being by the weaknes s of a Ministry which had lost all its former influence over the population. The pretence that by the eleva tion to power, thus summarily, of the Earl of DERBY and his political supoorters necessitates the reversal of our commercial system, is on the very :face of it a wilful sham and a deliberate delusion. From the very commencement we have insisted upon this. From the very outset we have maintained that there is about as much likeli hood of a restoration of the system of. monopoly as thee is of an interference with the laws regulating the movements of the planets. To declare otherwise is to assert what is contrary to the speaker's own se cret convictions, or to acknowledge a doubt in the stability of free trade---a doubt altogether incompatible with a right sense of its wisdom, its efficacy, and its popularity. Hence we deemed it our duty, as Free-traders, to discountenance forthwith and entirely the course threatened by the Hon. Representative for Wolverhampton — d eclarin g that course, as we did not shrink from doing, to be nothing less than factious, because g l a ringly unnecessary. Factious, however, though the course projected by Mr. VILLIERS was, it was not factious enough by any means for Lord JOHN RUSSELL. The promised mo tion was not calculated to interfere sneedily enough with what, under the most advantageous cir cumstances, could not fail to be the very difficult-, movements of the Government. It has con sequently been withdrawn in compliance with the suggestion of the magnanimous Leader of the Opposi sior, w ho yesterday, in the presence of 168 Members of the Lower House, assembled in solemn conclave at his private resiesae, announced his determination to throw an obstaee in the sv - of the new Cabinet as early its Alionday next. 111 y 3 ing received from the Right Hon. the CitaNceLl!" , of the EXCHEQUEU an answer to a letter, inquiring wh ether .O.L her AJESTICS Ministers would be prepared to explain at once their intended policy in reference to Free Trade or Protection, Lord dorm RUSSELL in formed the meeting yesterday that that answer bad proved so far evasive that he, the Noble Lord, was resolved upon immediately forcing the Government into the necessity of an explanation. After informing his " kyind friends" that such was the generous con clusion at which he had arrived, the late PREMIER in timated in a tone of flattering significance, and of seductive insinuation, that in the event of his own ultimate restoration to office, he proposed laying be fore Parliament a new Reform Bill, such as he con ceived would be more generally acceptable to the population. The meaning of all this is surely sufficiently transparent. It affords only another testimony, and this, moreover, a very sorry one, that the Whig PREMIER is true to his political antecedents. In office he does nothing, or next to nothing—out of office he promises everything, and, by his specious assurance, makes the mouths of the more credulous water for the advent of the time when he might re sume the reins of government. We do not think, however, the public are to be cajoled again so very readily. We don't think the Noble Lord will be afforded once more an opportunity of falsifying his own declarations. The experience the nation has reaped from the last five or six years of his mal-administration is not likely, we conceive, to render the people solicitous for the speedy restoration of his party. The people, indeed, are sick of them to very nausea ; they are sick of the GREYS and of the ELLIOTS, of the WOODS and of the RUSSELLS ; they are sick of their ill-temper and their imbecility, of their egre gious place-hunting and their aristocratic predilec tions. The multitude is as likely to demand the elevation of Mr. TAPER to the rank of one of the Lords of the Treasury, or to require the transforma tion of Mr. TeIt•oLE into a Chancellor of the Ex chequer, or to clamour for the re-appointment of the Right Hon. NICHOLAS RIGBY as Chief Secre tary the Board of Admiralty—as to betray any anxiety to witness the resumption of power by the late incompetent leaders of the Ad ministration. It is manifest enough from the proceedings re ferred to above, the proceedings which must be long and appropriately associated with Ches ham-placo, that Lord JOHN RUSSELL IS bidding eagerly for the renewal of his authority as First Lord of the Treasury. Not thus acted Sir ROBERT PEEL, a statesman as enlightened as he was magnanimous. Nay, if we might judge correctly from the facts which came to light yester day, we believe we could announce with all accuracy that as eagerly as Lord JOHN RUSSELL is bidding anew for the Premiership, so also is Mr. JOHN BRIGHT bidding for the principal post at the Horse Guards. And, what is yet more, we look forward with equal confidence to the re-appointment of Lord JOHN RUSSELL as Prime Minister, and to the nomination of Mr. JOHN BRIGHT as Commander-in- Chief of the Forces. Among all those 168 Members assembled yesterday, in Chesham-place, two only vindicated by word of mouth their title as Liberal representatives—the Hon. Member for Finsbury insisting upon the superior necessity of fur warding the cause of Parliamentary reform, instead of bringing forward this Quixotic onslaught upon the windmills of Monopoly and the wine-skins of Protection—and the veteran Member for Montrose sarcastically maintaining that there was at this mo ment not a jot less need for Lord JOHN RUSSELL than I for the Earl of DERBY, to explain the nature of the principles upon which he would be prepared to con duct the labours of her MAJESTY'S Government. It is more than probable that, before many weeks have elapsed, there will be a dissolution of Parlia ment, and that the several constituencies throughout the length and breadth of the land will be again called upon to exercise the important trust confided to their charge, to select fit and proper persons to represent their feelings and wishes in the Imperial Parliament. The duty is at all times one of vast importance, but it is more particularly so on the present occasion. The commercial policy of the nation is about to be placed on trial. The people may be called upon to decide between Free Trade and Protection, between untaxed bread and a small loaf. We entertain not the slightest doubt as to what the result will be whenever the appeal may , be made to the country. If there were even a possi bility of a Parliamentary majority in favour of a corn law, either in the shape of a sliding-scale or a fixed duty, the voice of public opinion would be sufficiently potent to prevent the revival of the obnoxious impost. No Ministry would dare to bring in such a law, and we cannot suppose that even the most sanguine Pro tectionist would not think it dearly bought at the expense of the internecine conflict that would in evitably arise. We trust and believe, however, that the question may not arise, but that the different agricultural constituencies will be contented to ac cept the Act of 1846 as a final settlement of the vexata questio, and look to other remedial measures that would prove exceedingly beneficial to their order, and which would receive the general concur rence of the industrious classes. It is not, however, material for the purposes of our present argument to consider the course that may be pursued, or the policy indicated :by the dif ferent candidates ; we would rather direct the public attention to the duty of the electors, and those pos sessing, or supposed to possess, extraordinary influ ence, whether as landlords or employers, at the present crisis. And, first, as to the electors, more particularly in the smaller boroughs. It must now be manifest to all such parties that the tricks and schemes which have heretofore been practised with compara tive impunity can no longer be tolerated. They may receive a salutary lesson from the course adopted with respect to St. Albans. It will, if properly con sidered, convince them that it is the fixed and de liberate determination of Parliament to put down bribery, treating, and the various phases of corrup tion with the strong hand, that no compromise be tween opponents—both of whom may be equally im plicated in discreditable practices — will prevent the most stringent and searching inquiries, if suspicion be excited, and that the necessary investigations will be conducted before far more efficient tribunals than the Committees which have heretofore decided upon such matters. The ex-PRE MIER has announced his intention of going on even during the present session with the Corrupt Practices at Elections Bill. But even if that mea sure should not receive the legislative sanction pre vious to the dissolution, there can be but little doubt that a similar proposition will be carried at the com mencement of the sittings of the new Parliament, and that it will, to a certain extent, have an ex post facto operation, bringing all matters that may occur at the general election under its operation. The precedent with respect to St. Albans will throw considorable li g ht on this subject, and show what persons indulging in such unjustifiable practices may reasonably anticipate. It will incumbentthere forehe borough on all electors who desire to avoid political annihilation to act fairly and above b o ard, convinced that any deviati on f rom th e li ne o f duty m ust bela:tineontabolfy expiated. those person s t o a l etter f rom .A. 3 to landlords and em p l oyers, we would earnestly i nv ite the atote a venerable and venerated p a t r i ot to his tenantry on t h e subject of the approaching contest for representation y or le i the represen of the county Lord e CLONCURILY'S name, and his sterling, ighnainded inte grityl,yin that any eul ' are so well known, ° g 1 U1:11 on our part must be absolutely unnecessary. I t carries with it a higher titl e than any which the favour ch could confer,monar of a mere earthly lle may be mistaken in some points—for who ja perfect but We are convinced t h at he ne ver a d voca t e d any cause from improper mo tives—that during his prolonged life he invariably gave expressi on t o th e true feelings 0f his heart. This distinguished Nobleman, then, has written to the tenantry on his extensive estates, a circular, which we cannot deny ourselves the plea sure of publishing in extenso, and which 1 may serve a s a model for other ,an—rilords • He expresses his own feelings, as any man is justly entitled to do, but scrupulously y abstains from any undue interference. We shall, however, give his Lardslip's own words :- 4, An humble' b u t not the least sincere of your friends, though retired f ro m public life, think s it a paramount duty to call your attention to the addresses for the ap proaching election. No candidate says a word about repeal; yet is repeal the one thing needful, the only hope for the salvation or regeneration of your country. It is, I verily believe, tho heartfelt desire of nine-tenths of the honest and thinking men of Ireland, dormant though it be in our misery. " But great emphasis seems laid on the subject of re ligion. Ireland can never prosper while any difference exists among us on that subject, or any desire to in terfere with or inquire into the feelings or opinions of our neighbours. Protection also is a favourite cry, and a very fooliah one, which will not humbug the people of England, nor, I hope, my sharp-witted countrymen. Wheat we should not attempt to grow ; in oats, flax, potatoes, green crops, and cattle we stand unrivalled. There Reed be no misunder standing about tenant-right; the landlord is dependent on the tenant, as the tenant on him; their interests must go together if either party is to prosper. Careless and absentee landlords have suffered in these sad times as well as their tenants; a mutually beneficial agree ment should be made in open court, and enforced. " As to the elective franchise, it belongs exclusively to the tenant, and should be protected by the ballot. I never dared to dictate on such a subject; the dishonest man who would corrupt our electors would sell his country. Our misfortunes have been greatly enhanced by the dishonest men who, pretending to be Repealers, sold themselves to the Ministers for paltry places, and prevented you from recovering the constitution of 1782. " Your affectionate friend, " Maretimo,;al 10. " dLoNctrnme." We shall not allude to the subject of repeal, which has, fortunately for all parties, been long shelved. We can, however, respect the fidelity to the cause which once created such intense excitement, exhi bited by the Noble Lord. There is, however, real truth conveyed in the earnest deprecation of religious animosities, and the assertion that "Ireland can never prosper while any difference exists on that subject, or any desire to interfere with or inquire into the feelings or opinions of our neigh bours." There is sound instruction, too, on the point of Protection, " a favourite cry, and a very foolish one." We cordially concur with his Lordship in believing that it will never again " hum bug the people of England," nor the "sharp-witted" inhabitants of Ireland. The great, the important portion of this admirable epistle, which every landlord throughout the entire kingdom should ponder, is contained in the first por tion of the concluding paragraph. Lord CLONCUREY tells us, that " as to the elective franchise, it belongs exclusively to the tenant, and should be protected by the ballot." This is a truth which Lord JOHN RUSSELL should have learned before he brought forward his quasi-Reform Bill, endeavouring rather to preserve the balance of parties than to obtain a full and fair representation of the people. Let every man who might think of exerting his influence (1 !) in favour of a particular candidate consider the next sentence emanating from a Nobleman who has gained golden opinions from men of all classes, creeds, and parties. " I never (said the veteran Peer) dared to dictate on such a subject; THE DISHONEST MAN WHO WOULD CORRUPT OUR ELECTORS WOULD SELL HIS COUNTRY." The sentiment should be inscribed in golden letters at the head of every address to electors. It should sink deep into the minds of voters, and all with whom such voters might be in sny degree connected, so that the latter might be ashamed to offer, and the former might indig nantly repudiate any undue interference. The letter is, however, eminently deserving of a calm and attentive perusal, and as such we earnestly com mend it to the consideration of the community, more especially of those who may speedily be called upon to bestow their suffrages on the most deserving claimants. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC, We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The decree on the University which appeared in the Moniteur of Wednesday is viewed rather disfa vourably by several of the journals which do not habitually support the Government. Neither the Debats, the Assembles Nationale, nor the Union, lend it their countenance in their several' articles of yes terday. M. ARMAND MARRAST is no more'. His death is thus noticed in the Siicle : One of the most distinguished and able journalists of our day has just fallen, after a long and severe ill ness. Paris and France will remember what M. Armand Marrast was after the revolution of February, as Mem ber of the Provisional Government and as Mayor of Paris, and there is not a member of the Constituent Assembly but must retain the remembrance of the dig nified and intelligent manner in which he presided over that body. M. Marrast, who had en attack of apoplexy in November last, died yesterday afternoon. We do not yet know what day has been fixed for his interment." On the 6th instant the sub-prefect of Toulon, ac companied by the colonel commandant of the garrison, went to Fort Lamalgue to set at liberty such prisoners in confinement there as had been placed by the deci sion of the mixed commission under the surveillance of the general police. When informed in the morning of the intentions of the authorities towards them, they expressed their satisfaction and gratitude by cries of " Vive Napoleon !" and " Vive le President !" and when the sub-prefect, before releasing them, addressed to them some words of advice as to their future con duct, the same cries were repeated. The number of persons set at liberty amounts to 238. The Superior Council of Public Instruction has been convoked by the Minister of Public Instruction for an extraordinary sitting on Monday, the 15th. " Tho Minister of Public instruction," says the Debate, " applied to M. ST. MARC GIRARDIN to ac cept the place of inspector general of the University, in the section of letters. M. ST. MARC GIRARDIN, however, considered that he ought not to separate from his old colleagues of the permanent section, which is suppressed by the new decree. He remains professor at the Faculty of Letters, and, as member of the Institute, forming part of the superior council, he will perform the gratuitous duties which the new decree preserves to the members of that council." The members of the superior council of public in struction who cease to form part of it in consequence of the decree of the 19th instant, are—MM. TRIERS, member of the Consistory of the Reformed Church, BETBSIONT I DE ST. AIGNAN, DUPIN, LAPLAGNE BARRIS, FLOURENS, BEUGNOT, ORFILA, DUBOIS, COUSIN, and LABBE. The Count DE MONTALEMBERT, whom several journals declared to have visited Brussels, has, says the Patrie, never quitted Paris. M. GUINARD has been released unconditionally from his confinement at Doullens. We read in the Preese :—" The differences between the French Government and the Helvetic Confederation are asserted to be at an end. If we are to attach faith to a version, strange enough, which we have heard, the arrangement has been con cluded at Lyons between General Duroun and a political personage, not our Minister of Foreign Affairs. Mutual concessions are said to have been made." --. The sale of the library of the late King Louis Philippe commenced on Monday night in the Salle Syl vestre, Rue des Bons Enfans, and will continue, it is calculated, for about a month. The catalogue is par ticularly rich in manuscripts and poems of the thir teenth and fourteenth centuries, amongst which the most precious is the famous romance of " Perceforest," the sole copy existing, and which it is supposed will fetch upwards of 10,000 f. ; in fact, it is affirmed that a commission has been sent from London to offer as high as that sum for the work. When Neuilly was sacked in 1848 a great part of the library was injured, but a vast number of high interest still re mains, many being splendidly bound, and bearing the arms of the Duchess of Orleans, mother of King Louis Philippe. The proceedings of Monday night pre sented nothing very worthy of interest, with the exception of the sale of a beautiful manuscript in ten volumes quarto, containing the life and doc trines of Jesus Christ. This work was written in 1772 by an abbe, and imitates perfectly, from one end to the other, the printed character. This work, which was given to Louis Philippe by Carrere, the member of the convention, was knocked down for 250 f. The crowd was so great during the evening in the room, which is of exceedingly limited dimensions, that it is thought probable that some other place will be chosen for the sale before it has gone on much longer. Workmen have commenced the demolition of all the old buildings appertaining to the Palace of the Elysee, and now forming the stables, guard-house, and offices of the President's residence. New construc tions are to be erected in their place, more in harmony effeetual t a ha m t with the main building.

GERMANY. The New Prussian Gazette states, from Frankfort, that on the 6th the Germanic Diet decided by a large majority that two of the ships of the German fleet, the Eikernfoerde frigate and the Barbarossa steam frigate, pledged to the Prussian Govern florins (about 330,000 f.), but with f m r i e g n a t t e, for 8 the faculty of redemption up to the 31st March, by which time it is hoped that some positive decision will be come to respecting the fleet. The Duchess DE BERET is at present at Vienna ; and the Count and Countess DE CHAMBORD and the Duke and Duchess of MODENA are expected in that city. The Duke of SAXE-COBIIRO GOTHA left Vienna on the 6tb, after a month's stay. BELGIUM. The Senate is convoked for the 22d. GREECE. We have received the Athens journals to the 27th ult.

The Chamber, h e f e lt assure d, would, on the production of the documents, fully approve of the conduct of the Government in the matter. The conversation then dropped. -. --- A CORN-LAW CURIOSITY.

FATAL ACCIDENT.—Last evening an inquest was taken by Mr. Bedford, at St. George's Hospital, on the body of a man whose name is supposed to be Finch or Smith, but who does not appear to have had relative, friend, or ac quaintance. He was a helper in the stables at the Clock house, Hammersmith - broadway, and on Friday morning, while riding a spirited horse along the road, a dog flew from the pavement at the animal, which caused him to shy to the other side of the broadway, and he fell down, with the de ceased under him, who was taken up insensible, an d carried to St. George's H os p ita l , where he remained in nearly a similar condition until his death on Sunday night. The base of the skull was fractured, and there was laceration of the brain. The Coroner said he had no hesitation in stating that persons who knowingly kept dogs of this nature, although the offence would not amount to manslaughter, in a similar case of death, were liable to heavy damages under Lord Campbell's Act, if any relative took the matter up. The jury observed they were glad to hear this from the coroner, as they often witnessed accidents of a similar-character. Verdict —Accidental Death. DEATII OF LADY JANE D ALRYMPLE HAMILTON. —This lady, whose death took place at Paris last Sunday, was the eldest daughter of the celebrated Admiral Lord Duncan, and sister of the Earl of Camperdown. In her youth she was reckoned one of the most beautiful women of her day, and attracted much admiration on that remark able occasion when, hanging on the veteran arm of her stately and gallant father, she appeared in the Royal pro cession which went to St. Paul's after the battle of Cam perdown to give thanks for the great naval victories. She afterwards married Sir Hew Dalrymple Hamilton, of Bargeny and North Berwick, in Scotland. Their only child, and the heiress of the great Bargeny estates, was married to the Duc de Coigny, and their eldest daughter and heiress is married to Mr. Dalrymple, the Lord-Lieu tenant of Wigtonshire, and heir-presumptive of the Earl of Stair, who also married the sister of Lady Jane Dalrymple Hamilton. da him , one of them cried, " Why , Mimics OF PAR IS PICYPOCKETS.—The police on no ti c ed in the cro w d a venerable- l oo ki ng m an with white hair, who moved t o an d f7o i n a pecu li ar manner.

The thief coolly examined it, and laughed on seeing it well stocked. He emptied the cash into his pocket, and threw the purse away. The police then seized him. The lady Who had been robbed could scarcely believe her eyes when the agents called to her, and presented her with her purse. Besides the sum stolen from her. Nathan had several pieces of gold in his possession. He was sent to the Prefecture of Police.— Gahgnani's Messenger. CHEAP OMNIBUS FARES.—The proprietors of the numerous o mnibuses on the Oxford-street and Holborn line, from Paddington to the City, &c., have now adopted a table of fares on a scale of liberality and cheapness never yet enjoyed by the public on this, confessedly the most important omnibus route in the metropolis. By this new table there is a fare of 3d. for the whole distance from Re gent-circus, Oxford -street, to the extreme end of the jour- 1 ney eastward, besides the same fare for the half journey either way, as before. In addition to this there is a two penny fare from the Marble-arch to the bottom of Holborn hill, and another to the end of the journey, and &so from the starting place at Paddington or Bayswater to the Marble-arch, so that the passengers have now the oppor tunity of riding 6 a third of the distance throughout the line for a third portion of the fare. In addition to these facilities for cheap travelling, the cheap omnibuses at one penny and twopenny fares maintain their ground on this road, and are very liberally supported. A penny fare has also been adopted on the New-road line from Paddington to the Portland -road, which is a distance equal to the length of Oxford-street, and is the first adoption of this ex t re mely lo fare on this i mportant road. are elad to ScoTcn UNIVERSITY TESTS.—We — ta ts is know that the movement for the abolition of these forward not to be permitted to subside but is to be carried ._ in by both in Parliament and elsewhere.

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDA Y. The present week's arrival of English Wheat, coast wise, has been moderate, viz., 3,280 quarters. Fresh up to-day, by land carriage, the receipts of that grain were comparatively small; hence, the show of samples Of both red and white was limited. The attendance of both town and country millers was far from extensive; whilst the demand for all kinds of Wheat of home produce was very inactive, at Monday' s prices. The trausacqous for forward delivery were unimportant From abroad, 3 780 quarters of Wheat have come to hand. We had a moderate inquiry for selected sam ples, at late rates, and a few low qualities in granary as well as afloat, changed hands for ship ment to Holln. The show of Barley was seasonably goo d, but that c?t malting parcels was small. On the who le, a fair b u il: nest' was doing, at late rates. We were well supPlica with Malt, for which the inquiry was less active, but 00 1 decline was submitted to in prices. Oats were endil moderate request at late figure-t. Beans, Peas, Low Indian Corn commanded very little attent ion. qualities of Flour were very dull; but the bestt°Wl2- made was quite as dear.
