Again the unfortunate Militia Bill is to be consi dered in Committee, and no less than thirteen amend ments are down among the notices of motion for this evening. There is every probability, therefore, of a still further protracted discussion. Aware, it would almost seem, that nobetter opportunity is likely to pre sent itself to them for the frittering away of publictinie, the representatives of the people are apparently resolved present opportunity, The to make the most of the House of Commons, indeed, has, during the last few sessions, fellrn so much into the habit of being in dustrious in doing nothing, that its Members appear to be reluctant to allow the session of 1852 to termi nate prematurely, before they have coneumed a rea sonable number of nights in debating, and adjourn ing, and dividing, end sitting in Committees, and going through all the various Parliamentary manoeuvres by which our Legislators are accustomed to carry out the grand policy of wholesale and retail procrastination. If ever it was manifest that little remained to be accomplished by the Houses of Parlia ment during a session but recently commenced, it was upon the occasion of last February, when were wit nessed the resignation of Lord JOHN RUSSELL and his Ministerial colleagues, and the elevation of the Earl of DEnur to the leadership of her MAJESTY'S Government. Almost all the labour of the session devolved, indeed, upon the House of Commons—its Members being, of course, required to vote the supplies as speedily as was at all practicable, and then, having listened as complacently as might be desired to what ever financial statement was submitted to their consi deration by the new CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, to hurry through the absolutely essential business of the country, so as to prepare the way with all speed for the manifestly unavoidable dissolution 1 Con scious that such were the duties demanded from them immediately after the inauguration of the Conserva tive Cabinet, the representatives began, after some factious squabbling, to grant the estimates with a rapidity altogether unprecedented. Thousands upon thousands were voted with the customary muni ficence of the nation, for the support of the various departments of the public service, almost as sum marily, in fact, as the moneys were voted by the newly appointed legislators of the French Republic, or rather by the comprehensive decree which one morning appeared in the columns of the Moniteur. Having yielded the supplies, the Commons began with scarcely less good will to get through the other business already re ferred to as devolving upon their hands, and yet re maining to be accomplished : when—as if bethinking themselves that this rapid system of action might ultimately resolve itself into a rather inconvenient precedent—the lower branch of the Legisleture seemed to look about it for some opportunity for a little pleasant procrastination. Without this the ses sion would really be in danger of appearing to be no session at all. The case was, moreover, urgent—for Ministers, upon all the broad prieciples of Government, were in a minority in the House of Commons, and it was conseuently manifest that there must (with out the interposition of some timely impediment) be a speedy dissolution, followed by an appeal to the country', and the appeal to the country, in its turn, followed by the assembling of a new Parliament at Westminster. Thereupon the newly introduced Militia Bill of the HOME SECRETARY, or rather of the HOME SECRETARY speaking in the name of her MAJESTY'S Government, was seized upon as precisely the measure calculated to carry on the desired delay until such time us the Legislature might die with something like its cus tomary dignity, namely, after a series of most unne cessary diScussions and still more unnecessary adjourn ments.. Such has actually been the course pursued by the Members of that Parliament which is doomed, before many weeks have elapsed, to destruction. As we lave pointed out re repeatedly prior to the debate Q, each succes sive evening devoted to the consideration of the bliiitia Bill has been distinguished on the Parliament ary vote papers by a cluster of threatened amend ments. To-night, as we have already intimated, is rendered more remarkable by the increase visible in the number of these same tmendmentE—all of them, or, at any rate, most of them, introduced simply with a view to the still later postponement of the final determination of the Legislature. There are the promised suggestions of the Hoc. Members for Rich mond, for Reading, fur West Kent, for Colchester fdr Bury S. E►lmunds, for Westminster, for Eve sham, for Oldham, for Bedford, for Haddingtonshire, for Lincoln, and two (namely, Clauses 16 and 21) of the Right Hon. Gentleman the representativ,e of Manchester. By such efforts have members of the Government enabled the Members of the House of Commons, whether sitting behind the Treasury benches or among the ranks of the Opposition, to pro tract the session until locg after the Easter vacation without any clearly visible prospect of an immediate dissolution. The long-suffering of the nation may, nevertheless, be exhausted before any such result is anticipated. It i 4 earnestly to be hoped, therefore, that if we are still to continue doubtful as to the in tended policy of the new Cabinet, we may forthwith obtain some accurate knowledge of the time likely to be selected for the dissolution. Electioneering addresses have now become matters of such every- day occurrence, that some, which under other circumstanc-s, would attract extraordinary at tention, are now only regarded by the electors, whose most sweet voices they are intended to influence. A t present we can only look to general principles, and cannot e&e! into details. Tnese minor topics must be reserved for the local committees, whose business it is to exalt their own favourites and to de preciate their opponents ; and as the latter is, generally speaking, the easier and more congenial duty, it is tolerably certain that every document will be minutely di:sected, and sub jected to the most searching criticism in the district o which it is more particularly directed. There are some few cases, however, worthy of more general attention, where the issuer may be regarded as the head of a particular party or section, giving expres sion to, or at least indicating the lino of policy which his followers may be expected to adopt in the new Parliament, or where some new test is recommended or principle enunciated that may serve as a general criterion for all candidates and constituencies through out the entire country. The address of Sir JAMES GnenAat to the electors of the city of Carlisle is worthy of especial notice on both grounds. The Right Honourable Baronet tray now be considered the recognised leader and the ex walls ponent of the views nd feelings ofthe ' liberal Peel je', a Party which , although its numbers within the of ? r iem ent have been materially frequent opportunities circum scribed, stillretain and must continue to exercise very great influence the national councils, and to whom tie l s have been and may be afforded of turning th e well-lienwnea scale between contending parties. The Baronets andcoonf‘ to ' the Right Hon , Baroanility and vast experience of we b i i g %c t b chief i m d e a r n a y b l e of coadjutor?, h ave also had attaching great importance his support and co operation, end have led to offers that the numerical proportion of Far beyond anything his followers would entitle him to demand. These offers ha ve hith erto b e en rejected. The Ecclesi ast i cal Titles Bill was the last stumbling-block in the way that pre ven t e d the irrfusion of new blood into th e late- Administration. That difficulty hap, however, been co mpletely removed, and there is not hin g to p revent a speedy am a l gamat i on, which would confer a vast accession of strength on the party who could secure the services of the Gra hnaites. Rumours have for some time been rife of as alliance offensive and defensive between two, if not three, of the parties who have heretofore differed on variona points, aw l toe address now under notice certainly appears to lend additional weight to these reports. Sir JAMES Guanam hay, so far as the present Go vernment are concerned, thrown away the scabbard and proclaimed "ear to the knife." 11, proposes that , free-trade constituencies should be contented with a satisfactory answer to a single interrogatory—" Are you a supporter or an opponent of the Earl of DERBY'S Government ?" A plain response to this simple question will, according to the Right Hon. Baronet, " dispel a cloud of mystery, and render the choice of the electors both sure and easy." He also goes further, and gives a new definition of a well known designation. A Protectionist is no longer the supporter of a corn-law, the advocate of a bread-tax, but merely " a supporter of Lord DERBY'S Government." No matter how strongly be may pledge himself to resist anything calculated to increase the price of food, he must be considered as a Protectionist, unless he will also pledge himself to oppose, per fas aut nefas, the existing Government. No matter whether the propositions be good or bad, desirable or otherwise, everything must be resisted that receives Ministerial support, and, vice versa, everything must be supported which is distasteful to +he nresent dwellers in Downing -street. " Men, not measures," is, according to the Lord of Netherby, to he the recognised cry at the various hustings. The rule is simple, and its general application would be exceedingly benefici to the contemplated firm of GRAHAM, RUSSELL, COBDEN, and Co. We should however, hope that the various constituencies may require something more from he candidates for their favour ; that they will insist on satisfactory evidence of the views of the aspirants for senatorial honours on the all-important subjects of fiscal, financial, Parliamentary, monetary, end legal reform ; that they will require an expres sion of feeling in favour of civil and religious liberty, and, as the first fruits thereof, a stre nuous support of the Parliamentary Oaths Bill and the Marriages Affinity 8111, and a general and unequivocal explanation on the various questions of interest to the Liberal party, now under discussion or consideration. We are most anxious that Sir JAMES GRAIIAM should be elected, such a man cannot be spared from Parliament ; but we must, at the same time, confess that the test which he has proposed is by no means sufficiently stringent, nor is it one that could be safely adopted with re spect to untried men by any constituency in the United Kingdom. INDIA. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) We have received our usual telegraphic dispatch from Trieste, dated the 13th inst. Oar dates from Bombay are to the 17th of April. The troops for Burmah were all embarked by the 30th of March. The whole force was to unite before Rangoon on the sth of April, and Rangoon was ex pected to be in our possession by the 10th of the same month. The forces would then advance as speedily as possible further up into the country before the rainy season, and would then await re inforcements and the return of more favourable weather. The expedition under' Sir Colin Campbell returned to Peshawur on the 27th of March. Three days afterwardp, however, new outbreaks upon the frontiers were reported, and it was expected the troops would again be sent off. Money was in demand.

The dinner at the Palace of the Tuileries on Wednesday went off with eclat. At nine o'clock the company adjourned to the theatre of the Palace. Besides the 800 guests at dinner, the corps diplo matique were invited to the theatrical representation. The i}foniteur publishes a circular from the Mi nister of Police relative to tho conventions with England and Hanover for thi protection of literary works. The Monileur announces that three of the ten millions assigned for erecting workmen's lodgings will be devoted to building three model establish ments in the three most populous arrondissements of Paris. All the architects of Paris are invited to send in plans, the best of which will receive 5,000 francs out of the PRESIDENT'S privy purse. Perhaps the wonders of the telegraph have never yet been more conspicuously brought into play than during the military fd'e of Monday. From eleven o'clock to four o'clock half-hourly messages conveyed to the east, west, north, and south accounts of the proceedings. Tdus all France was made, if not spectators of the fete, yet listeners to descriptions thereof. The director of the telegraph thus signalled to all points of the compass : . - " Eleven o'clock. " The f etes de.aigles, favoured by magnifi2ent wea ther, commences under the most happy auspices. The whole population of Paris is at the Champ de Mars. Every precaution is taken to prevent accidents. " Half-past Twelve o'clock. " The Prince President enters on horseback the Champ de Mars, followed by a numerous staff; he passes at full gallop along the two hues of troops; he is saluted by the moat ardent acclamations. " One o'Clock. " The Prince President, after having paised along the two lines of troops, ascends his tribune, when commences the distribution of the flags. " Half-past One o'Clock. " From the top of the elevated estrade, from whence he commands the Jae, the Prince President addresses an all icution to the army, which receives it with enthu siasm. The religious ceremony of the distribution of the fl igs comrarnces. Nothing can give an idea of the mag nificence of thisfite. "'the "Two o'Clock. religious ceremony is - over. The Prince Presi dent m,,unts his horse, and the troops begin to defile. 'I be defile will last two hours. The enthusiasm of the troops is at its height. "During the progress from the Elyc43 National to the Champ do Mars the pepolation hailed the Prince Presi dent with unexampled fervour. .‘ Half-past Three o'Clock. " The defile is over. The enthusiasm of the troops and of the population has characterised this magnifi cent fête. The President returns to the Elyrii amidst the most lively aco:amations. " Four o'Clock. " The Prince President has just catered the Elyulo National. " His progress from the Champ de Mars to the Ely has been ono immense ovation. " The most admirable order ceased not to reign during the ceremony. " No accident hair been notified." Besides the director of the telegraph there was another historian. "THE MINISTER OF POLICE TO TUN PREFECT OF ---. " Four o'Clock. " Tho review is over ; it has proved what might have been expccted-rimplsin g by its grandeur and solemnity. The army and the whole population saluted the Prince with unanimous acclamation?. All Paris is afite.” ' The Constitutiomel announces that the Legitimists, in compliance with a letter from the Count DE CHAMDORD, have resolved on refusing to take the oath. The following is the conclusion of the article of the Constilutionnel in which this matter is al luded to : We have not to appreciate in itself the letter of the Count de Chambord, for that would be to meddle with the affairs of a party, and we have enougghititrooidstos only those of France. The conduct of the Le affects us so far as it may have an influence on the ge neral state of things. Ia this point of view that attitude which they appear to take towards the Government, we must admit is neither wanting in decision or clearnev3. It is of a nature to rvenove all uncartaeity, and to matt; the position of every one, and that is what we like. The Oovernment, which does not require to borrow strength from any one, acd which had made an appeal to all in a spirit of concord, well know bow to act with re vile] to isolated persons, and will be aware of the cc operatiOn which it may expect from one; of the great parties in its work of conciliation and of reparation. It it be an incontestable advantage for a Government to clearly see into the conduct and progress of its adverse. ries, and to know with certainty on what it may or may not reckon, we cannot see with displeasure the new movement of the Legitimatist party. If it suits it to now number its force?, we can only regard it as a useful lesson for it and for France." A match between Louis N.iPOLEON end a Princess of Brazil, which some time since Was rumoured to be on the tanis, is now spoken of " I iutormed you about the middle of last January that negotiations were to be undertaken with a view to & marriage between LOWS Napoleon and a rrinceso of Brazil. This match is now spoken of again as highly probable, end the negotiations are described as in an ad vanced state. The Princess to whom overtures of mar riage are made is Marie-Amelie, daughter of Don Pedro by his second marriage with the daughter of the Duke de Leuchtenberg, and, therefore, great-grand-daughter of the Empress Josephine. She i.; now in her twenty second year. Thus, the Prince President end the Prince de Joinville would be married to two sisters." The Bourse was again heavy, without any fall iu prices.

Since then the Government forwarded to the Royal C ,uncil memorial signed by several grandees of Spain, claim ing certain privileges, and in particular the institution of hereditary senators, The Council, by a majority of 25 to 5, decided that the pretensions of the memo rialists could not be acceded to, and declared itself in competent as respected measures tending to encroach on the prerogatives of the Legislature. The Cabinet was said to have been greatly anoyed at this decision, and it was even believed that several members of the Council would be dismissed in consequence. It was rumoured that the Captains. General of the Bisque provinces, Estremadurs, Catalonia, Aragon, and others would be superseded in their Governments The Three per Cents• were done at 421; the New Three per Cents., at 214 ; the Debt of the First clae3, at 8 i ; and that of the Second, at 51. ITALY. - The Austrians have at last evacuated the secon dary towns of Tuscany, and there remain no garri sons in The country except at Florence and Leghorn. Tie French equadren has cast anchor before Leg- horn, but will immediately continue its voyage for Naples, Palermo, and Algiers. The decree for the suppression of the Leopoldine laws has been suspended, owing, it is said, to the French Charge d'Affaires. There is more than ever some idea of abolishing the constitutional sta tute. It is hoped that the influence of Sir H. BULWEE, the English Ambassador (now expected every mo ment), will succeed in persuading the GRAND DUKE to renounce this reactionary measure. The affairs of the Roman States are going on worse and worse, and the discontent of the popula tion is nearly at its highest point. The Russian Princes are mush feted at Rome by the POPE and the cardinals, HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE, Il Barbiere, with Cruvelli and Lablache, attracted a numerous and fashionable auditory last evening. In celebration of the (State) anniversary of her Majesty's birth, the National Anthem was sung by the principal artists, and received with the most loyal enthusiasm. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA. Lucia di Lamntermoorwa7 eTio;medhereTasi night, with Mantle. Anna Z"rr as the heroine, Herr Ander as the Edgardo, and a Mutant from Palermo, Signor Bar tolini, as- the Enrico. The Lucia of Msdlle. Zsrr is a performance which will neither disappoint nor surprise those who have witnessed other personations by this ac complished artist. Her vocalizition is superb, and the perict ease with which she surmounts all the difficulties presented by the composer, to say nothing of a few of her own creation, is marvellous. Her conception of the cha racter of Lucia is fall of grace and intelligence, and her performance may be described as intellectual rather than impulsive. The admiration of the audience was loudly manifested, and Madlle. Zerr was applauded, and recalled with the utmost enthusiasm. Herr Andet's Edgard() is a most car e f u l an d e ff ec tive personation, never s i n ki ng to mediocrity, an d f reque ntly characteriz by a very high order of exce ll e nce. In certain pas sages , and especially in the close of the second act, h e sang with a spirit and vividness which carried his audience with him. The death scene was delivered with great delicacy and pathos, and throughout the whole opera the germanesque sty le of Herr Ander stamped his persona tion with a marked, and far from unacceptkble, origina- Ilty. The new debutent Sig. Bsrtolini, is a valuable acqui sition to the esteniisbmeut. His voice is a baritone of exceeding and unusual purity. His energy and fire are extraordinary. He instantly achieved a success with the "Oh rabbis cho m'accecdi," and on leaving the scene was recalled by acclamation. The performance, taken as a whole, was brilliant, and the p-rf eel manner in which the lovely choruses were given contributsd largely to the completeness of the eff-ct. The principal singers were called before the curtain, Madtle. Z 3rr's efforts being also recognised by a repeated fl)ral homage, The Natiotial Anthem was sung at the termination of the opera in honour of the Qieen's birli-clay, the solo verses being rendered by Madile. 'bar and Madame Castellan. ST. JAMES'S THEATRE. We have just seen a prospectus of the , series of Ger man plays which Mr. Mitchell has entered into arrange. merits for presenting shortly at his elegant theatre. The twelve representations to which the series is limited comprise some of the chefs dceuvre of the German drams. Thus we have the Egmont and the Faust of the great Gcii:he ; the Don Carlos, the Robbers, and the Intrigue f th o S f chi Cromwell; ll er dramas by Klotz : h ue , 'Laube, ; Lessieg' s Galotti• 13, Haml e t an d R omeo and Juliet in Teti taPol'a.,:dill3ceL'iindoLDrthe'easegola';Blend; not the least in interest, Schiller's im mortalpel)," arranged for the stage by Gcethe, with Romberg's original music. The artists w i th w h om en gagem ents have been concluded are many of t h e "Song of the m celebrity's in Garmany—llevrient, Grunert, Kuhn among the acton; and among the actresses Wilhelmi, Stolto, Von M u l ler, and Eppert, crowned with the laurels of Dresden, Darmstadt Stutt gardt and Br uus nick. Th e super i ntendence of the general arrangements and the siege and orchestral details will be committed to most effizient hands; and we have no doubt, from the liberality, taste, and experience of Mr. Mit c hell, that the ensemble will eminently command the patronage of the public, Irons its features of excellence as well as novelty. A person desirous of obtaining a correct pronunciation, as well as grammatical knowledge, of the German language, will find more advantage re sulting from attending these performances than from a three months course of grammar-pounding; and a pro ficiency in the magnificent " Deutsche sprache" is now justly held to be a necessary accomplishment. The series will be inaugurated next month with Goethe's celebrated tragedy of Egnont, with the original music of Beethoven. RAILWAY BRIDGE accomplished whatP WYE.— RAISING THE TUBE. cff E ps Tohw, THURSDAY. HRS OVER D A Y. THE _ the top o r f a t i h i e ng pie t rs e THE CHEPSTOW on the east bank of the Wee important now ra t been The important final operation of • • permanent position, on happily great a hp t eoil t ic u et b enh e otenr tesouaot consum mated mated ; and the perilous sted being happily of a routine and ordinary ' rem n ain P s o t r o l b o e done is only description of work. The massive chains hanging from the tube will be fixed to the girders beneath, upon which the rails will be laid. The permanent way will be fixed, and the bridge will be opened for one line of rails, thus overcoming the great obstacle to the develop ment of the important mineral and general merchandise traffic, by connecting the two banks of the river. It is ex pected that the bridge will thus be opened in two months or less from this time. The other tube will then be floated and raised for the other line of rails. SUBMARINE AND CONTINENTAL TELEGRAPHIC Ex- TEN-lON.—Yesterday, the necessary arrange ments being completed in connexi on with the submarine telegraph, com munications, were effeeted - for thvflist time netween London and Boulogne. The wires to be shortly submerged between Dover and Ostend, opening C mruunication with the whole of Belgium and that part of the continent, are ro.v being constructed. The distance and length of cable 'squired will be three times teat between Dover and Calais, or about 70 miles, and the experience derived from the success of that experiment will enable this greater stretch of submarine communication to be carried out at less cost than that of the first line between Dover and Calais. The telegraph lines from Dover to Cornhill, independent of the South-Eastern telegraph, are in preparation, and will be carried by sub. humous pipes'along the old Dover-road. The entire artery of lines in connexion with the submarine system is proposed to be subterranean ; and the wires of copp er, covered with gotta percha, will be enclosed in tabes throughout the route. Simultaneously with the reduction of rates for the transmis sion of messages now being carried out by fo rei g n Govern ments, the ch arges are being modified by the submarine telegraph, which now communicates with upwards of 200 continental towns, messages being transmitted and answers returned from Berlin, Antwerp, Brussels, or Ghent for a guinea, enabling foreign correspondents and commercial firms in matters of emergency to' be in daily and hourly communication. A message ma b e sent to Lemburg, the centre of Russia, an d an answer bad the same day, and com munication is ordinarily made between Dover and Paris in about a minute and a half. THE NORLEY-HALL COLLIERY EXPLOSION.—The inquest in this case terminated on Wednesday evening. The evidence affords another melancholy instance of the difficulty of enforcing anything like ordinary care in coal-mines, even where life is at stake; end in this case it may be truly said that twelve Eves might have been sav ed if the grocsess in difference had nut been manifested to the dictates of prudence. The jury f oun d t h e f o ll ow i ng v erdict : "Thejury have come to the c onc l us i on that acc ording to the evidence ad duced on this inquest the verdict cannot be other than acci dental death. At the same time they are strongly of opinion that there has been gross mismanagement in carrying on the workings of the colliery, and that there is great inconsistenc y in the evidence given as to the use of naked candles b y the men. And the jury consider it imeeratively necessary on the part of the proprietors that the rules and regulations should be printed, and strictly a tt en ded to, and the instructions of Mr. Wyn ne rigidly carried out." BERESFOBD'S NEW POLKA. ---A new polka has just been competed by this rising young En g lish arti st , who is attach e d to Mr. Laurent's able orchestra. It is quite novel in its style, and possesses the merit of undoubted ori ginality, white it is instrumented for the orchestra in a man ner that displays remarkable tact and ability, besides much musical research. It is called "The Dark Prince Polka," and as it is peculiarly adapted to the pianoforte it will pro. bably Nome a great favourite in the ball-room, THE SHARE MARKETS. Railways.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 12 000 bales, of which 1,000 American were taken for export and 3,000 on speculation. There was less excitement in the market, but the advance was maintained. The sales comprised 8,000 American, 1,000 Pernam and Maranham at 61d. to 7d., 950 BAiia at 60. to 611., 1,500 Egyptian at 6d. to 711. and 500 Surat at 31i. to 4id. per lb.—The Share Market was flit and closed heavy at lower prices. The aggregate business done in the produce market has again been large and prices have been well up to last week's range for the principal staples. The Indigo sah's have commenced and are going off very satisfac torily. Ocher articles consumed for manufacturing pur poses, including cotton, hemp, and wool, have been in request. Of tea there is a full supply, and the arrivals of sugar, coffee, spices, &c., are increasing. The ques tion of a reduction in the wine duty is still attracting a good deal of attention among the trade and some con troversy ; but it is unlikely the Government will make any change at present. The prfecipa . lcondiiions on which the Master of the Mint propo.os to let the refinery are, the lease to be for ten years, terminable aft er th ree years b y one year ' s notice on the part of the lessee. Sub-letting not al lowed, nor assigning, unless by consent of the Master of the Mint. Lessee to pay a rent of 5001. per annum, and to give security to the amount of 10,000/. for the per formance of the fifth condition. The lessee shall be bound to receive and refine any gold or silver sent to the r( finery by the Master of the Mint, not being less than 1001bs., nor more than 4001b5., in one day, and re turn the proper quantity of fino gold or fine silver, as determined by the assay of either of the assayers to the Mint, to be selected by the Master (the same assayer to b e employed both for issuing and receiving, and no charge made against th© refiner for assaying), within fourteeen days, at the following rates of charge for re fining:—gold 4a. per lb.; silver 63. per lb. These prices not being intended to provide for parting, but for returning fine gold only fur alloyed gold delivered, and fine silver only for alloyed silver delivered. And the Master of the Mint is not to be considered bound by this provision to employ the lessee, but to be at liberty to employ whom he pleases for refining. To which Baron Rothschild adds that if the work be stopped by order of any court, pending such order, he shall be free from the operation of the condition as to refining for the Master.
