", ,'a 47 , mad LONDON, THURSDAY MARCH 11, 1852. The destinies of the nation are i n a peculiar manner involved in the result of the approaching re assemblage of Parliament. Upon the ulterior resolve arrived at in the House of Commons during the nest few days much of the-happiness of the present genera tion is dependent. It is, therefore, with a more than usual degree of anxiety that we await as journalists the commencement of those proceedings in the Legis lature in which so much interest is, naturally enough, felt by the population. To-day the Liberal Members, as we ann ounce d yesterday, are to be collected together it the private residence of Lord J. RUSSELL, new by some few infatuated politicians regarded as the acknowledged leader of the Opposition. To morrow the Parliament will again assemble at West tninger, and th e new l y-e l ecte d re presentatives— rnulb"a of the lately nominated Administration— Wil l take th e oaths and their seats according to ordi nary f orm, as the necess ity preliminary to the various legislat ive operations of the Government. Among those brought thus prominently under the considera tion of tfwe ma the R • ousel it is just possible that y even be enumerated the Right nonourable Gentleman the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—although his election for the county of Buckingham cannot 4 , co me off' , morning. Aided by rapid until tomorrow l ocomotion, it is just pos sible,Mr.Dniaazta will be enabled we say, that even to take his post to-morrow evening at th e h ea d o f t h e front bench of the Treasury. Neverthel ess , even under the most favourable circumsta in regard to from his inter v i ew noes the chan ce o f hi s a rrival thus rapidly 'With a clamorous constituency, it cannot for a mo ment be expected that the Alhfite • 1 —nal statement THE SUN, in reference to the policy about to be adventured upon by the Cabinet can be submitted to the Legislature) and through the Legislature to the general multitude, before Monday at the earliest. In anticipation of those statements, however, the various parties in the Lower House are already preparing themselves for an encounter that appears to be inevitable. During the past fortnight the Manchester school has been espe cially industrious in agitating the necessity for some strenuous efforts at an active and aggressive struggle against the Protectionists. During the ensuing twenty-four hours the Whigs will in like manner, under the roof-tree of the late Prime Minister, and guided to their decision by the light of that Noble Lord's still energetic ambition, resolve upon the course most advisable to be pursued in reference to the treatment of the ruling Administration. Several other sections there are ranged along the more retired seats of the Opposition, clus tered on the cross benches, and grouped some of them, and those not the least con spicuous, on the forms below the gangway : but these, generally speaking, have up to the present mo ment preserved an impassive silence, aloof for awhile from the stormy influences of disappointed self-con fidence, of Ministerial pique, and of blighted reputa tion. The Peelites, for example, have maintained an inscrutable serenity during the whole of the past exciting movements within the walls of the Imperial Legislature, those Peelites who number amongst them some of the distinguished administrators of the age, statesmen who, like the Right Hon. SIDNEY HERBERT, the Duke of NEWCASTLE, and, more es pecially, Sir JAMES GRAHAM, have revealed in a remarkable manner their capacity for the conduct of the affairs of government. Then, again, there is the most gifted Minister of our generation .persisting in a very significant silence, or occasionally, as he did in reference to the Militia question, propounding, like the Sphinx, some riddle, the non•elucidationof which proves fraught with unavoidable destruction. The last of these political riddles he propounded to Lord JOHN RTISSELL, who failing to explain it satisfactorily was forthwith destroyed, his own destruction involving, of course, the summary destruction of his Govern ment. With a Parliament thus separated into divi sions, the newly constructed Cabinet will have, on Monday, to enter upon those Ministerial labours which are at all times of sufficient difficulty, but, which, under existing circumstances, are fraught with an almost bewildering embarrassment. Whether or not her MAJESTY'S Ministers will, from the peculiar situation of parties, be enabled during the next few weeks to bring forward the an nual estimates, and advance the ordinary and routine business of the country, in spite of all the adverse en deavours of opposition, remains still a matter most painfully problematical. Before many hours more have elapsed it will be seen if the opponents of the Administration are guided by a patriotic solicitude for the welfare of the community, or solely by a factious and petulant determination to push forward their own interests exclusively. The affairs of the nation are not, at the present moment, in a position such as would justify any premature or pr ec ipit a t e dissolu tion. On the 15th of March, 1852, we are not very likely to be, politically speaking, in a situation similar to that in which the country found itself on 22d of April, 1831. Even then the appeal to the country, resolved upon by the Prime Minister, and strenuously urged upon the MONARCH by the then Lord High Chancellor, was denounced by Sir ROBERT PEEL as both mad and unwarrantable, was eagerly striven to be warded off by the Opposition, and was at first peremptorily and positively refused by the SOVEREIGN. It was only carried into effect at last by the daring of Lord BROUGHAM, by the resolution of Earl GREY, by a resolution little short of dis- loyal audacity, and by a daring almost amounting to high treason on the part of the LORD CHAN CELLOR. Shall the course, which was then only justifiable under the plea of an unavoidable exigency, be tolerated at the present juncture, when there is really no exigency at all, and when the in terests of the nation strongly plead against any such perilous interference with the various and necessary operations of the Government ? Nothing, we believe, would justify proceedings such as those to which we here make allusion. By forcing her MAJESTY'S Mi nisters into a course so dangerous to the common weal, the Members of the Opposition, no matter what their legislative pretext or political complexion, no matter whether Whig or Radical, Peelite or Palmerstonian, would be drawing down upon their own heads a terrible and grievous respon sibility. The good of the people does not, we feel assured, require any such abrupt and indefinite post ponement of the estimates as would be inevitable on a speedy dissolution. It is, therefore, that we have protested, that we do protest, and that we shall continue to protest, against every movement which appears to us to lead in that particular direction as against an effort signally and culpably factious in its character. No advantage 14 jeopar dized by delaying the contest of parties until after the routine business of the country has been " got through," but, on the contrary, much, very much, may be endangered by needlessly forcing on the sudden and immediate dissolution of the Legislature. Nowithstanding the agitation raised by the Manchester school, therefore, notwithstanding the mistaken determination arrived at by the Hon. Gentleman the Member for Wolverhampton, and notwithstanding the aggregate meeting of the Liberals convened this day at the residence of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, we look forward hopefully to the patriotic devotedness of the House of Commons, sanguine that, in spite of every specious and sinister inducement, the majority of her MAJESTY'S OppOSi • tion will refrain at least for the present from placing any factious obstruction in the way of her MAJESTY'S Government. The attention of fiscal and financial reformers can: not be too frequently or too urgently directed to the present position of the property and income-tax, and the peculiarly favourable opportunity thereby afforded of obtaining judicious modifications of its obnoxious and inequitable provisions. The law under which it is levied will expire at the end of the current financial year. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, al though fortunate in the possession of a handsome surplus, cannot possibly afford to do without the renewal of some portion, at least, of an impost which realized in Great Britain, in 1847, no less than 5,612,6541., and which may still be averaged at nearly five and a half millions of pounds sterling. Mr. DISRAELI may not desire or wish to signalise his administration of the national finances by any mate rial reduction, it will probably not be his object to curry favour with the "plutocracy," or to sacrifice the interests of the community to the capitalists of Lo mbard -street but he will likewise avoid a deficiency. He must, therefore, either renew the expiring tax, or find a fit t i ng substitute, a task of no ordinary diffi culty under th e most favourable circumstances, and one on which h e could scarcely be expected to enter in the present state of the Ministry. He will also naturally wish to a b olish or objec tionable impost s of 'W hich some exceedingly obj.c- The advertisement duti c e h s h an e d ha t s he al h r o ea p d d y u c ti o e m s complained.

Other matters, too, are des erv i n f no tice, but none could b e attend e d be renewed, were it but f or a " s i ng l e year, in order to give tim e f or a permanent and equ i ta ble arrangement. That it will be renew ed, then, is certain , but in what - form ? That is the q uestion, and it i s one of the character of vital importance to the British nation, and the reputatio n of our leadin g st at e smen. We cannot for a moment conceive that Mr.") ISRAELI will even for a single year not merely assent to, but actually bring forward a proposition in every respect so untenable and so inequitable as that every species of income, no matter how obtained or however flue tuatiag and precarious it may be, should contribut e to the maintenance of the national establish ments and the liquidation of the national liabilities as highly as accumulated and realized property. A man of inferior abilities might be disposed to shelter himself under the plea of the very limited period which had elapsed since his acceptance of office, or the impera tive necessity for an entire re -adjustment of taxation, and the propriety m ? not making any minor alterations until the entire fiscal scheme might be submitted for public consideration. A cunning and unscrupu lous person woul d be desirous of ,leaving a n embar rassing. legacy to bis successors, or, if pre. LONDON, pared with judicious and well devised project for its ,amelioration, would keep it in reserve for soma pressing emergency. But BENJAMIN DISRAELI 13 one of a totally different mental calibre from the ordinary " red-tapists." He will never avail himself of arguments simi!ar to those which were resorted to by his predecessor usque ad nauseam. When satisfied of the. injustice and im policy of the measure he will not endeavour to postpone its consideration on frivolous and ridiculous pretexts, nor object to make some attempt at improvement, because he cannot at the moment bring forward &perfect proposition, which shall beientirely free'from objection. He will rather pursue the course which duty and honour alike indicate, and give the nation the benefit of the experience which he has acquired while acting as leader of the Opposition of the House of Commons, and occasionally firing at the target which the Whigs had set up, and also from his in vestigations as one of the Select Committee appointed to inquire into that very tax. There can be no doubt that his mind has been tong since made up on the subject. But were it otherwise—had he to enter upon its consideration for the first time—we believe that he would not shirk a question which any actuary or respectable clerk in a merchant's office might answer in a single hour. He will also naturally be desirous of showing his real desire for improvement by means of the propositions actually brought forward, in order that they may remain on record in the Parliamentary archives, in case the factious and un warrantable opposition now threatened should, re move himself and his colleagues in the Ministry from office before they had a reasonable opportunity of developing their future policy. If the advice of Mr. COBDEN be taken, if the Ministry should be com pelled to dissolve Parliament forthwith, and to ap ' peal to the country ; and if they should be again defeated in the new House of Commons through a similar obstructive policy, there will be no opportunity of showing what the present Administration might have done if treated fairly and courteously. Speeches and suggestions out of office will by no means have the same weight as actual propositions when in power. We are, therefore, satisfied that, for the sake of his own reputation, and likewise as the most expedient and politic course, Mr. DISRAELI will bring forward in his Budget, and, possibly, indicate in his speech of Monday evening, a proposal for the equitable adjustment of the property and income-tax, and the placing it henceforward on a more satisfactory basis. Under any circumstances, the fiscal reformers should be prepared to support him if in the right, or to direct him into the proper course if he should be clogged or hampered by the tardy movements of some of his colleagues. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday The Moniteurcontains a Presidential decree relative o the re-organization of public instruction,and another nominating Inspectors-General of superior instruc tion for letters, law, and medicine, Inspectors-General of secondary instruction for letters and sciences, and Inspectors. General of primary instruction. The PRINCE-PRESIDENT, by a third decree, fixes the salaries of the Inspectors-General at 12,000 f. for those of superior instruction, 10,000 f. for those of secondary instruction, and B,ooof. for those of primary instruction. Finally, by a fourth decree, the PRESIDENT nominates the members of the Su perior Council. The Dacia says :--" It is positively stated that the organic law on the University, which has been much spoken of within the last few days, is to be submitted to the deliberations of the Council of State, and that it will come before the Legislative body at the open ing of the session." The Corsaire mentions a report that one of the principal functionaries of the Administration of Forests has been summoned to Paris, to organize a hunting establishment for the PRINCE-PRESIDENT, and that the Prince DE \VAGRAM is to be Grand fluntsman—a post occupied by his father under the Empire. We find the following in the Constitutionnel :—" A report is again put in circulation that the barriers of Paris are to be carried out as far as the fortifications. We can affirm that this rumour is without any foun dation. The question, it is true, has been the object of a serious examination, but all the authorities have admitted that the adoption of such a measure would be ruinous for the greater part of the banlieue, and also for the city of Paris, which would thus have to pave and light an immense extent of ground." "We are requested," says the Debuts ' "to for mally contradict all the asserti ons , w hi c h have been published, as to a pretended mission with which the Prince DE LIONS is said to have been charged on the part of the King of the BELGIANS to the King of Paussia and the Emperor of AUSTRIA. The visit of the Prince DE LIONS to Germany had nothing of a political object in it." The Constitutionnel devotes a very large portion of its first page to an article by M. GRANTER DE CAS.. SANAC, laudatory of th e e l ect i ons, laudatory of the new Legislative Body of which he is a member, lau datory of the Minister of the Interior, and laudatory, in fact, of all that has taken place. Considering that M. GRANIER DE CASSAGNAC stands in no danger of con tradiction, it would, perhaps, be more reasonable to show a certain degree of reserve, and to allow the acts of the Government, to a certain extent, to defend themselves ; for it is not probable that eu logium from such sources will produce half the effect that will be derived from a calm, dispassionate inves tigation of the acts of the Government, and a liberal appreciation of the motives by which they are in spired. The slightest admission in favour of those acts by journalists who are known to entertain sen timents which are an 3 thing but friendly to their authors, will do more for the Government than pages of eulogium from avowed and professional advocates. Thus, when we find journals like the Union ex pressing satisfaction at the way in which the new le gislative body is composed, we may be sure that it does not stand in need of professional praise. The definitive armament of Paris, voted in 1846, is going on, says the Public, with great activity. The detached forts contain at the present moment nearly 6,000 pieces of cannon of different calibre intended for them and for the fortifications round Paris. A grand dinner was given by the PRINCE PRESI DENT of the Republic, on Monday, to Lord and Lady COWLEY. Among the foreign guests present were the Marquis and Marchioness of DOUGLAS, Lcrd and Lady POLTIMORE, Lord and Lady GREY, and several other English persons of distinction. Count DE MORNY, M. and Mme. DROUYN DE LHUYS, the Prince and Princess DE CEAON, the Duke and Duchess DE VALENTINOIS, the Duchess of WAGRAM, and the Duchess DE GRAMMONT were also present. The Patric says—" Count WALEWSKI, French Ambassador in Loadon, has arrived in Paris, where he will remain for ten days. The English journals, in announcing his departure, give to the news a degree of political importance which is quite imagi nary. Count WALs.waxi has been called to Paris by private business, and we can positively state that there is no question either of his recal or of his being replaced in his post." The Debate has the following remarks on English commerce : " According to the defenders of the old restrictive system in England, the British flag could not fail to sOOll feel the evil effects of the reform of the navigation-laws, and one would suppose that from their repeal was to date the decline of the English merchant navy? But is that the case? Far from it. In 1850, the first year of the new system, England, it is well known, had no reason to complain of the part which she obtained in commercial transports. Ia 1851 the general movement of English commerce with foreign countries and the British pos sessions amounted to 13,472 000 tons of merchandise, or 1,451,000 tons more than in 1850. Out of that aug mentation the English flag had 310,000 tons in entries, and 186,000 in departures, which it must be admitted is a most respectable share. It is not, consequently, in 1851 that the merchant shipping of England has to de plore its decline, the returns of the Customs proving in contestably that the general movement of business in that country has been much more considerable. - And during that memorable year of the Great Exhibition has England an instant relaxed from that constantly increasing movement of commercial labour and pros perity? No; she indefatigably pursued her task; her exports, which were of a value of 1,643,000,000 f. in 1850, rose to 1,712,000,0001. in 1851. In place of 57.000 000 yards of woollen goods, it is 62,000,000 which she delivered to foreign commerce; in place of 3 a 84 w i th certain, rt , O thn O ei o : tot's tththat ar t 1,22 2,000.000 of yards of cotton goods (about 309,000 lea gues), it is 1,400,000.000 of yards which she dis persed over the globe; in place of 774,000 tons of cast ings of iron, and 3,352,000 tons of coals, her establish inpaetnintsgand her soil furnished to foreign manufacturers but trifling 27,830 0 ' , 00f.inplaco of 26,000,0001.

Two objects, however, show a dimi nution, namely, shoes and gloves. But this last article, we should bear in mind, is essentially French. It is well known that it is we who furnish gloves to the ladies and gentlemen of the three kingdoms; and yet on this occasion we furnish them with only 2,842 271 pairs, in place of 3,260,000 in 1850. On the other band, an im portation of an interest infinitely greater fur the prospe rity of nations, that of corn and flour, has again in creased this year. From 7,721,000 quarters corn has gone beyond 8,000,000, and flour has passed from 3,819,000 quintals to 5,363,000. All that makes, for 1851, nearly 27,000,000 of hectolitres, or little more than what we imported in the calamitous year of 1847. Our corn:reckons for much in that amount. It is profit for us who were too rich in wheat, and profit for the popu lations which purchased from us. The era of cheap bread, thanks to the genius of a great statesman, has d again close.

DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY. —Th e Earl and Countess of Eglinton arrived at Dublin this day, shortly before two o'clock, their Excellencies having landed at Kingston about one o'clock. The reception through out their progress was enthusiastic in the extreme. Lord Eglinton rode on horseback, wearing a large shamrock on his breast, and surrounded by a brilliant staff. Lady Eglinton followed in a chariot drawn by four horses. On the arrival of the cortege at the Castle, the ceremony of swearing in was at once pro ceeded with, and at its conclusion three volleys of musketry were fired by the troops stationed at Col lege-green. Their Excellencies subsequently held an undress levee, which was very numerously attended. Th e day was beautifully fine.—Times. VDtrb Mbition DONCASTER RACES. (THIS DAY.) (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)

AN EDITOR AT A. Discourit.—The Protectionists advertised the other day for an Editor for a Protectionist Paper, who was to receive, by way of" salary, to begin with, fifty pounds per annum." It is all very well to offer fifty pounds a-year to "begin with;" but it is obvious, that to 4. go on" with such a salary would be quite impossible. As his duties would call upon him to write in favour of dear corn, he would be actually working to take the bread out of his own mouth ; for if he succeeded in writing up the quartern loaf to its former price, he would be obliged to accept half a loaf instead of a Whole o ne . We do not question the suffl cieney of the sa l ary, as times go ; for the intellect that would undertake to ad vocate Protectionist principles, would, per haps, be adeq uately valued at one pound per week, or fifty pounds per annum. No one with sufficient sense to qualify him for a railway portership, or a light suburban beadled om , would condesce n d to the situation of a P rotectionist Editor; and we think i t, therefore, unfair of any one to complain of the salary bei ng i nadequate to the article required .-Punch.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at from 5,000 to 6,000 bales, all to the trade. The market closed heavily with American 1-16 d. to id. in favour of buyers. The sales comprised 3,500 Ame rican, 250 Pernam and Maranham at Gd. to 6id., 250 Batas at 6d. to 6d., 500 Egyptian at Gd. to Sid., 500 Surat at 3id. to 4kd., and 200 Sea Island at Is. 2d. to Is. 101. per lb.—Tae Share Market was good for Leeds, Midland, and Caledonian, but other shares were flat. The six weeks' average price of Wheat is 41s. lid., and the week's sales are 97,046 quarters. The matters in dispute between Mr. Francis Lyne, the honorary secretary of the committee for promoting Tribunals of Commerce, and some members of the exe cutive committee have been adjudicated upon by the arbitrators appointed. In introducing the offieial award, Mr. Lyne remarks:— "On the 17th Dec. last a meeting was held at the London Tavern, when an unmerited censure was stamped upon me by a resolution then passed, charging me with the most serious offences; it is therefore highly gratify ing to my feelings, to call your attention specially to the following unqualified words from the arbitrators—' We deem it right to expie es our sense of the energy and zeal displayed by Mr. Lyne in promoting the formation of Tribunals of Commerce.' I opposed this meeting of the 17th December last with my utmost energy; and the arbitrators now confirm my view of that meeting. The question has been mooted whether or not I had ten dered my resignation, the arbitrators now decide that I did do so, but not formally, and that it was accepted by an incompetent meeting. In consequence of that meeting and what then took place, the following members of the general committee expressed themselves ready to call a public meeting, for the purpose of proposing a vote of thanks for my past services, and to request that I would continue to hold my office of honorary secretary." The names of many influential members and sub scribers are then added, and Mr. Lyne concludes thus:— " Under these encouraging circumstances, I cannot hesitate to continue to discharge the duties of the secre tary. Up to the 17th ot December last, I had acted as treasurer as well as secretary; it was my duty to pay into certain bankers, the money received from the public certain sum at my own imme diate command, for the promotion ot this moveamnednitm, amneddilatheaovbelidgoanteiosnos: every kind h av i ng always I but, h a dto usuallypa y cunt u t r o r oes,tillt claims ixa kept ma e expenses, s o e e f , been discharged by myself. As soon as the unpleasant ness in question arose, I hastily made up my accounts; and being scrupulous on this point, I immediately gave my cheque to Mr. R. C. Polhill for the cash then in my hands; and with the view of covering my outstanding responsibilities, and retaining the power for so doing, I wrote to him that he was to hold that cheque, on my ac count. Mr. Polhill, however, without my orders, gave my cheque to the gentlemen who were hostile to me, and thus, contrary to what I intended, I am now left at their mercy to define what portion of my expenses should be paid. I withdrew my suit against Mr. Polhill to secure the present arbitration. The arbitrators, four most ho nourable•minded and kind-hearted gentlemen, have made a reference to this part of my dispute, and there fore I notice it." The following is the award by Messrs. Montagu Gore, 11. U. Leycester, James Griffiths, and Jos. True. MP, jun. " Wo, the undersigned, having been appointed to ar bitrate between the Executive Committee of Tribunals of Commerce' and Mr. Francis Lyne, on the two fol lowing points, viz Whether Mr. Lytle was entitled to withhold the amount of 101/. 2s. 9d., being balance of moneys received by him on behalf of Tribunals of Com merce;' and, secondly, whether his resignation was ever proposed by himself; and if so, whether it was duly and properly accepted,' do hereby a dj u d ge, — "First. That inasmuch as the amount of 101/, 2s. 9d. was money collected for the use of the movement for the promotion of Tribunals of Commerce, such sum ought to have been paid into ono of the bankers to that move ment; but as Mr. Lyne has paid that amount to Mr. R. C. Polhill, by whom it has been paid into the bankers, and as Mr. Lyne, by withdrawing his action at law against Mr. Polhill, has virtually recognized such appro priation of it, no further step is required to bo taken on the part of the arbitrators with respect to it. "Secondly. It is our opinion that Mr. Lyne substan tially, though not formally, tendered his resignation as honorary secretary, by his letter of the 9th December, addressed to the pecuniary subscribers; but inasmuch as the power of appointing and dismissing all officers rested only with the executive committee, the meeting of the 17th December was not properly constituted to accept such resignation. " We deem it right to express our sense of the energy and zeal displayed by Mr. Lytle in promoting the form ation of Tribunals of Commerce, and our conviction that Mr. Lyrae, and all parties, have been influenced throughout these transactions by no other motive than an honest and sincere desire to promote, to the best of their power, the interest intrusted to their charge; and wo trust that any unpleasant feelings which may have existed for a moment will be buried in oblivion, and that all other considerations will be merged in the paramount one of endeavouring to promote, in the most effectual way, the establishment of tribunals, which promise to be so advantageous to the commercial interests of this country. " Considering that Mr. Lyne was the originator of the movement for Tribunals of Commerce, and that he was permitted by the executive committee to carry on that movement on his own responsibility up to a very recent period, we recommend that all expenses that he may have incurred, strictly connected with the move ment, should be reimbursed to him out of the funds collected for the promotion of the Tribunals of Com merce. We further recommend an increase of the ex ecutive committee." The Amsterdam Stock Market on the 9th inst. was rather favourable for Dutch Bonds. The Two-and half per Cents, were 59 3-16.
