An ingenious argument, advanced in the course of a masterly article in the Telegraph of the 23d inst., closes with the assertion that " from Lord DERBY immeasurably more is expected than Lord JOHN at tempted "—reminding ua cf the impracticable policy vaguely sketched out for themselves by the members of the present Government. Upon the utter im practicability of that policy no two opinions can—by a. rational man—for a single instant be entertained. What the ex-PREMIER attempted he failed in, alto gether and sometimes ignominiously. Yet, what he did not venture to attempt Lord DERBY is expected to accomplish. Such, in reality, is the difficult task devolving upon the Tory PRIME JISIsTER, and which it will be perceived our contemporary has boldly indicated on the very eve of the dissolution. No wonder (such being the case) that the Cabinet has refrained as long as was at all reasonable from explicitly declaring their intentions as to any definitive system of administration. No wonder Ministers have shrunk instinctively from proclaiming the precise character of the principles upon which they have determined to carry on the business of the Government. The enor mity of the things required from them by their sup porters was sufficient, in all conscience, to deter them, at least during a considerable interval, from announcing their views to the population. Little by little the truth has oozed out, however, already, so that the electors of the United Kingdom can con jecture what still remains hidden, from the nature of those piecemeal revelations. They can judge accord ing to the old classic phrase, ex pede Herculem. Or rather they can detect the peculiarity of the entire policy accepted by Lord DERBY for the future guid ance of himself and his colleagues from the little even now actually visible—a s CUVIER was enabled, from a solitary member or a single bone, to build up in his imagination the whole framework of some antediluvian monster—a mastodon or an ichthyosau rus. At this opportune moment the Telfgraph asserts plainly enough the character of the measures which will be required from the existing Cabinet by its upholders, in the event of their obtaining anything like a working majority in the ensuing Parliament. "From Lord DERBY immeasurably more is expected than Lord Joliet attempted." More of what ? The Legisleive endeavours in which the Ea-P2EMIER was defeated were very peculiar. The reason of the de feat demonstrates this sufficiently. That reason was nothing less than a recognition by the Tories that the proposed changes went too far, and by the Li berals that they went not far ouough. In proof of this—look at Lord JOHN'S outline of Parliamentary Reform introduced by him to the notice of the House of Commons in February. It was discarded at once : and why ? Because the advocates of Parliamentary Reform saw, at a glance, that it was inadequate ; and because the opponents of Parliamentary Reform conceived at the same moment that it was dangerous For A considerable time past, no trial has excited as a concession to D emocracy .

He subse quently became a convert to Protestantism, and, a s . is generally the cas e , a tt ac k e d th e doctriowesithanpdeedinslicatr pline of_ the ch urc h h e h a d a bandon ed, energy and determination. Dr. NEWMAN, on the the other band, had been a Protestant c a l n e d n rg o ym e a o n f . the A man of great learning and a bility, Professors o f the Univers ity of Om most prominent leader of the Tracta rians, f d, h e be came an d author r of the celebrated tract No. 90, that produced such ex traordinary results among the Puseyitepa r ty. Lik e D r. AcnILLT, he abandoned t h e creed in which he had been educated, and having formally pro f esse d the doctrines of Roman Catholicism, was admitted as a priest of that Church. It is much to be regretted that th e d e f en d an t per mitted hie zeal to induce him to make the grave end serious accusations against the character of the pro secutor, of the truth or accuracy whereof he could have had no personal knowledge. The cause of true religion can never be promoted by coarse invective or virulent abuse of an opponent. How could con flicting doctrines be tested by the morality or immorality of an individual ? If every one of the issues taken by the defendant had been clearly established, if the jury bad decided that Dr. Acareu had been guilty of all the matters laid to his charge, how could it have advanced the interests of any Christian church ? The open and unblushing infidel, or the smooth tongued hypocrite might exult publicly or privately at the filthy and disgusting details brought under the consideration of the Court, and circulated throughout the entire country, but every man of religious feeling, whether Protestant or Roman Catholic, must regret the melancholy exhibition, which, whatever might be the verdict, could not benefit any cause, sect, or party. Dr. NEWMAN was unquestionably the aggressor. He deliberately made the charges which, with a vast expenditure of time, labour, and money, he endea voured to sustain, but which the jury (with the single exception of the 19th charge—that relating to the judgment of the Inquisition, so far as it went) declared not to have been proved. And yet, we have no doubt that Dr. NeweLter,when preferring these charges, believed them to have been well founded, and that he was not actuated by malice in the ordinary sense of the term, that is to say, against the individual Acrnam; but rather conceiving —erroneously con ceiving —that he was serving the creed he had adopted by exposing a seceder from its principles, and doctrines. That he acted rashly and indiscreetly is beyond question, but certainly the case is very dif ferent, so far as the motives of the defendant are con cerned, from the ordinary libels that occupy the atten tion of courts of justice. Again, as we would not have considered it any defeat of the Protestant party if Dr. Acneem had been found guilty of the immorality laid to his charge, we cannot look upon his acquittal as any great cause of triumph to Protestants, or con fusion to Roman Catholics. There are good and bad men in every sect, and converts have been influenced occasionally by unworthy as well as by laudable motives. A man may be mistaken. He may abandon the better and purer faith on strictly conscientious grounds, while he may seek it for very different reasons. His character and conduct cannot affect the doctrines of the church he has chosen, or that which he has deserted, for good or evil. We, therefore, earnestly hope that henceforward such matters may be avoided, and that, if polemical dis putes cannot be eschewed, care may at least be taken that they should not be suffered to infringe the just limits of controversy, or trench upon the sacred do main of private character. men. that u P° l r 3' mv VFW . e _hi. a S .~pYAL ITALIAN OPERA, COVENT G.LRDEN.

TTIR SUN, LONDON, FRIDA are, however, incomparably the most flagrant of all Is that evidenced in the person of Sir HENRY WIN STON BARRON, the present Member for the city of Waterford. In his case the Waterford Chronicle remarks that "we have a man who has gone round the whole circle of political opinions." And certainly, looking to the record of his Parliamentary career in relation to his ancestral county, it must be admitted that the fluctuation of aspect is not a jot more remarkable in the chameleon. It must be ad mitted, indeed, that his latest change as a politician has a certain degree of consistency in the very flagrancy of its inconsistency. As our neighbours say, On revient toujours aux premiers amours; and so it is not so very marvellous that the candidate who aspired (though vainly) to represent the city of Wa terford in 1831, under the immediate patronage of the BERESFORDS, should now, in 1852, "return to the place from whence he came," there to avow himself in 1852 a devoted adherent of the Cabinet sup ported by the BERESFORDS ! True that in the same year of grace 1831 Sir HENRY came forward again (but this time as a candidate for the county and not for tho city of Waterford), declaring himself an open antagonist of those same BERESFORDS -- being compelled to retire from the contest because the previous compact had been rather inconveniently and inopportunely de tected ! True that in 1832, he was returned for the city of Waterford by a majority of 570, as the col league of the Tory Mr. CHRISTMAS, having consented to become a joint in the tail of O'CoNNEaa, and having consequently pro claimed himself an enthusiastic Repealer ! True, that in 1834, he was again re turned for the same place by a majority of 561. still as a Repealer, but having as his colleague Mr WYSE instead of the then defeated Mr. CHRISTMAS! True that in 1837 he was there a third time returned as a Repealer by a majority of 602, again with Mr. WYSE and having at this election defeated that very Major BERESFORD who is now Secretary-at-War ! True, moreover, that, still calling himself a Liberal and a Repealer, he was de feated in 1841, in company with Mr. WYSE, having yielded ground to the successful Conservative candi dates, Mr. READE and Mr. CHRISTMAS, who were nevertheless compelled, in 1842, to yield their seats on petition to the unsuccessful Liberal candidates ! True, that in 1847, continuing to term himself an ad vocate of repeal, and continuing to uphold liberal prin ciples, Sir HENRY BARRON was defeated by the more liberal candidates, DANIEL O'CONNELL, the younger, and Alderman THOMAS MEAGHER ! "Last but not least" of all in this extraordinary enumeration— True that in 1848, on Mr. O'CONNELL accepting the Chiltern Hundreds, Sir HENRY came forward for the eighth time on the hustings of the city of Waterford, and was returned by a majority of 318 against PATRICK COSTELLO, a Young Irelander, and against THOMAS FRANCIS MAHER, an Old Irelander, having himself coolly thrown Repeal overboard and avowing himself to be a devoted follower of the Whig Government ! Yet now—a Beresfordite in 1831, an anti-Beresfordite in the same year, an a Repeal er i n 1835, 18 a 32, Repealer i n 1841, a u a nq ß ua e l p i e fi a e l d er ße i p n eale l r B3 i 7 n , quasi-Repealer in 1847, an anti-Repealer, or, in other words, a thorough going Whig in 1848, Sir HENRY VVTINSTON BARRON comes forward in 1852 as what P—as a colleague of that very Mr. CHRIST MAS be defeated in 1835, and opposed in 1841—as a rank Tory—as a resolute Protectionist—as a declared and enthusiastic Derbyite " Can such things be, and overcome us "—certainly not " lik e a summer cloud," but like something much more disagree• able—‘ , without our special wonder ? " Can these political pirouettes be turned with im punity ? Can the electors of Waterford remain indifferent to so much tergiversation and so many and such flagrant reca l c it ra ti ons ? L e t them vindicate their character for independence! We say this because their character will at the next general election he at stake. Their cry should be that of HAMLET in the scene with his mother— " A rat, a rat, dead for a ducat !" With decision on their part—a decision prompted by indigna tion—they may then redeem themselves from a position most anomalous, and, in some respects, most disgraceful—and, by so doing, hold out to the rest of the possessors of the franchise in the United Kingdom an example worthy of imitation. SALARIES TO COLONIAL BISHOPS.—On Wednesday a return to Parliament was printed showing the salaries of the Colonial Bishops. The highest salary is 3,000/. a year, and the lowest 550/. Some are paid out of the parliamentary votes, others out of the Consolidated Fund. In two cases the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel contributes a portion, and in another case the Church Missionary Society has to pay 6COI. a year towards the salary of the Bishop of New Zealand. THE BATTLE OF THE BEES.---A curious circum stance occurred a few days back at Guilleville, Euro- et- Loire. A small farther had in a field about 250 beehives, containing a vast number of bees. lie sent a man with a cart, drawn by five horses, to remove some earth from a wall near which the hives were placed. The carter having occasion to go to the farm house, tied the horses to a tree. Almost immediately after a multitude of bees, either irri tated at the shaking of their hives by the removal of the earth from the wall, or excited by the electricity with which the atmosphere happened to be charged, issued from their hives, as if in obedience to a given signal, and with great fury attacked the horses. In an instant the poor ani mals were entirely covered with bees from head to foot ; even their nostrils were filled with them. When the carter returned he found one of the horses lying dead on the ground, and the others rolling about furiously. His cries attracted several persons ; one of them attempted to drive away the bees, but they attacked him, and he had to plunge into a pond, and even to place his head under water for a few seconds, in order to escape from them. The cure of Guillevile also attempted to approach the horses, but he too was put to flight by the enraged insects. At length two fire engines were sent for, and by pumping on the bees a great number were killed on the horses, or put to flight. The horses, however, were so much injured that they died in an hour. The value of the bees destroyed was 1,500 f., and of the horses 2,500 f. A few days before bees from the same hives killed 17 goslings. A PRESENT FROM THE "DIGGINGS."—A poor but respectable tradesman i n Gloucester, whose brother emi grated to Australia a few years ago, has received from him a very agreeable token of fraternal regard in the shape of a lamp of gold. A letter which accompanied the present stated that the brother had made his way to the diggings, and had there picked up, among other similar " trifles," the enclosed lump, which he begged his brother to accept, and use its value in making the necessary preparations for transferring himself and his whole family to the great golden land of the south. The lump thus sent has sold for not less than 4001.! Enabled by this princely gift, the Gloucester tradesman is about to join his brother, and has taken steps to dispose of his business.—Exeter Gazette. UTILITY OF BATHING.—The habitual use of the bath was found so beneficial by the Greeks and Romans, and is now in such constant use in France and other neighbour ing countries, enjoying a climate similar to our own, that it is surprising that so few English women, of whatever grade of society, have recourse to bathing, except some, perh a p s . for a few weeks of the year at the seaside. The practice of bathing is not only to be advocated on the plea of cleanli ness, and facilitating the removal of secretion from the body, but it has a direct sedative influence on the nervous system ; it seems to absorb that morbid irritability arising from an un due development of the mind at the expense of the body, and leaves a feeling of comfort and repose not wholly attribut able to the consciousness of being clean. The bath should be used at least every week by those who are at the change of life, and more frequently by those who suffer much from profuse perspiration. The water should be sufficiently warm to impart a grateful sensation, from 94 to 98 degrees, the patient remaining in half an hour, and the head can be sponged with cold water if the first impression of the bath is to cause headache. —Dr. Tilt on the Health of Women , THE Moous.—Sportsmen will be glad to bear that there is a fair prospect of the ensuing season being a &st ress one for the moors. We have a number oi:,reports, every one favourable, concerning the condition of grouse, since the young birds were hatched ; and every person wbo has been on the hills states that there is not a trace of disease among the old birds nor among the young broods, which are now considered safe from all casualties of weather. Th e y gene rally count eight or ten from each nest, and are already so strong as to be taking short flights under the guidance of the old hens. Several of the larger shootings are taken, and from inquiries now going on it is likely that most places find tenants in the course of a month. —lnverness Courier. PEDESTRIANISM.-368 MILES IN SI% DAYS. --At times on Friday and Saturday considerable excitement was visible in High-street, caused by great numbers of persons assembling to witness the progress through the town of J. Tapp, to whom we last week alluded, and who succeeded in accomplishing his arduous undertaking. On both Friday and Saturday he was 'accompanied by some friends over a great part of his route, and on leaving Poole in the evening of the latter day, when he had only ten miles to complete his task, some admiring friends presented him with a hand some purple sash, on which were emblazoned in gold letters, the words "The Conquering Hero." We understand he has now pretty well recovered from the fatigues of the week. — Poole Herald. THE CORSICAN BnOTHERS.—The Court of Assizes of Corsica, tried a few days ago, a young man named Franchi for manslaughter. On the lit January last, a fete took place at Montemaggiore, and the persons assemble amused themselves with discharging firearms and drinking. A squabble arose, between two brothers named Fornelli, and a man named Moretti interfered in it. The mother of the latter went to fetch him away, but the accused, who was his cousin, pushed her rudely aside, and, seizing him by the collar, said he should not go. A struggle ensued, and both fell. As they were rising a pistol, which Fornelli held in his hand, went off, and the ball lodged in Poretti's breast. Death almost immediately en sued. The prisoner, though flashed with drink, seemed over whelmed with terror at view of the corpse, but after a while, he hurried away. The next day, however, he gave himself up to justice. The jury declared him guilty, and the Court ondenined him to five years' imprisonment. dangerous, 'We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. In the Legislative Corps, on Wednesday, the first four chapters of the Budget of the Interior were agreed to.

It is on this account, it would seem, that the Committee had made the proposition, rejected by the Council of State, for cutting down demands for the embellishment of public buildings, Sze. The report next proceeds to show that the public revenue is derived from two sources— direct and indirect. The former levied on lands and houses, the latter from miscellaneous imposts. It is a curious fact that 14 hile the indirect taxes have been steadily augmenting, so as to give greater returns now by 432 7 000 ,000 f. than they did thirty years ago, the land-tax has remained stationary. The contribu tion fonciere, as it is called, which in 1817 returned 257,895,02 5 E, ge ; es only to-day 258,239,824 E, and that not withstan6ing the removal of some particular charges. To expect increased taxation from the land the reporter holes to be out of the question. With the indirect taxes it is different, for according as population increases• and industry extends a steady increase may be looked for in this branch of revenue qu ite sufficient to meet the wants of the State, if only kept within due bounds. We read the following in Galignani:— ..Since the alterations in the law on the press, the lending articles of the Paris journals have necessarily been more subdued in tone, and those persons who were in t h e habit of seeking excitement for the day in the columns of the morning journals must have experienced a sort of void in their existence. To readers of this class the restraints on the public press must have ap peared almost , unjastifiable; but the new law has parti sans as well as adversaries, for temperance in mental matters may b e , as important for the general conduct of society as aosti nence from exciting drinks is essential for the health of the body. Notwithstanding the new law, however, vie have occasionally had articles in the Paris journals of sbfficieat spirit to lead to a conviction that the Government was desirous of correcting not the free dom but the licentiousness of political writers, for hi therto no man a has been prosecuted for expressing him self free l y, if he did so with propriety." M.

He states, also, that the Icarians at Native° have resolved to demand naturalization as American citizens, in order to avail themselves o f the y law recentl y passed by Congress, granting 150 acres of land to every chief of a family born or naturalized an America n. A letter from Boulogne, dated yesterday, states that the celebrated Mrs. MARY ANNE CLARKE, who, more th an forty years ago, caused so much sensation in England, in connexion with the charges brought in the House of Commons against the late Duke of YORK, died in that town on Monday last, aged 74.

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY. _ During the present work tire arrivals of English Wheat up to our market, coastwise, have been confined to 3,110 quarters, chiefly frern Essex cind Kent, and in fair average condition. Fresh up to-day, the receipts by land carriage were limited, whilst the show of sam ples of both red and white was small. Although thetde mend was not so firm as on Monday, that day's prices were supported. The amount of business doing for for ward delivery was far from extensive. From abroad, 8,540 quarters of Wheat have reached us. Selected qualities moved off steadily at full quotations. In low end middling kinds, very few transactions were suppoitted. Wheat and Indian Corn afloat were rather dull in sale. Very little Englhh Barley was brought forward, and the supply of English was bet moderate. The demand was tolersbly steady, at late rates. We had a very Slow sale for Malt, but no decline took place in prices. Al tuough the supply of Oats was but moderate. the trsde ruled dull, at the late decline, Beans and Peas were firm; but Flour end Indian Corn commanded very little attention, ARRIVALS MIS WEEK.
