LONDON, FRIDAY, MAY 14, 1852. 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 no betteropportunity is likely to pre sent itself to them for the frittering away of public time, the representatives of the people are apparently resolved to make the most of the present opportunity. The House of Commons, indeed, has, during the last few sessions, fellen 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 consumed a rea sonable number of nights in debating, and adjourn ing, and dividing, and bitting in Committees, and going through all the various Parliamentary maueeavres by which our Legislators are accustomed to carry out the grand pulley 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 Jonei RUAELL and his Ministerial colleagues, and the elevation of the Earl of DERBY 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 I 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 (lc cree which one morning appeared in the columns of the Afoniteur. Having eielded 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 Legislature 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,upen all the broad principles of Government, were in a minority in the House of Commons, and it was consevently 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 introducedlitis Bill of the Hone SECRETARY, or rather of the HOME SECRETARY speaking in the mime of her Maassrr's Government, was seized upon as precisely the measure calculated to carry on the desired delay until such time as the Legislature might die wi h something like its cus tomary dignity, namely, after a series of most unne cessary discussions and still more unnecessary aclj ;urn meats. 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 debates, each succes sive evening devoted to the consideration of the Militia Bill has been distinguished on the Parliament ary vote papers by a cluster of threatened amend-, ments. To-n►gb*, as we have already intimated, is rendered more remarkable by the increase visible in the number of thsse same amendments—all of their, 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 Hon. Members for Rich mond, for Reading, for West Kent, for Colchester for Bury S'. Edmunds, for Westminster, for Eve sham, for Oldham, for Bsdford, for Iladdingtonshire, for Lincoln, and two (namely, Clauses 16 and 21) of the Right Lion. Gentleman the representative Of Alauchsster. By such efforts have members cf the Government enabled the Members of the Rouse of Commons, whether sitting behind the Treasury benches or among the ranks of the Opposition, to pro tract the session until long 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 3 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 everyday occurrence, that some, which under .other circumstancte, would attract extraordinary at tention, are now only regarded by the electors, whose most sweet voices they are intended to in r fl in u cpi e i nc e e s . , ti e: l . d t present we can only look to general principles, cannot enter into details. These 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 dissected, and sub jected to the most searching criticism in the district to 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 line 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 GRAHAM to the electors of the city of Carlisle is worthy of especial notice on both grounds. The Right Honourable Baronet may now be considered the recognised leader and the ex ponent of the views and feelings of the liberal Peel walls frequent r c re r el i a b ut e e d inn , til still oupe up e r a e e r retain it "' ft 'P a Fly which, although its numbers within the of Parliament . have been materially circum niaam and must continue to exercise very opportunities national councils, and to whom .k n 0 ,4l i c ti a e l s eb h b a e v t e w b e e e e n n e a n n n d te rn n a d y in b g e a p ff a o r r t d ie e s d . of turning th e 2 have also I The well Baronet,aility and vast experience of' the Right Hon. a d nd of many of his chief igndht co operation, ce tcoonhsiisie:uapbplenrtwea coadjutors, attaching great importance operation, and have led to offers far beyond anything PrOpOrtiOn of 1113 followers would The These offers have hitherto that the numerical Eccles iastical late T A i d tl ai es is ß is :l uti w o a n s . entitle him to demand. t b Z n i u r t ei e e t c u t m e tling-block in the way that prevented the infusion of new blood into the That difficulty has, however, been . completely removed, and there is no thin g to prevent a sp ee d y amalgamation, which would c onfer a vast accession of strength on co uld Secure the ser • the party who services of the Gra &mites. Rumours have for some time been rife of an alliance offensive and defensive between two, if not three, of the psrtie3 who have heretofore differed on various points, and the address now une 4 er notice ceriaiely appears to len d additional Weight to these reports. Sir JAMES GRAHAM bar, so far as the present Go vernment are concerned, thrown away the 3cabbard and Frteldmed " war to tho knife..

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 DEBBY'S Government." No matterhow strongly he may pledge himself to resist anything calculated to increase the price of food, ha must be considered as a Protectionist, unless he will also pledge himself to oppose, per fas act 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 mint be supported which is distasteful to the present dwellers in Downing-street. " Men, not measures," is, according to the Lord of Netherby, to be the recognised cry at the various hustings. The rule is sim2le, and its general application would be exceedingly beneficial to the contemplated firm of GRAHAM, RUSSELL, COBDEN, and Co. We should however, hope that the various constituencies may re quire 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, and 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 Bill, 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 GEAUAM 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. Our 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.

At nine o'clock the company adjourned to the theatre of the Palace. Besi , les the .800 guests at dinner, the corps diplo rnatique were invited to the theatrical representation. The Aloniteur publishes a circular from the Mi nister of Police relative to the conventions with England and Hanover for the protection of literary works. The Moniteur 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 ere invited to send in plans, the best of which will receive 5,000 francs out of the PELESIDENT'S privy purse. Perhaps the wonders of the telegraph have never yet been more conspicuously brought into play than during the military re'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. Thus all France was made, if not spectators of the fife, yet listeners to descriptions thereof. The director of the telegraph thus signalled to al points of the compass : " Eleven o'clock. " The rites des aigles favoured by magai&ent wea-: then, commences undir the most happy auspicee. The whole population, of Paris is at the Champ do Mars. , Every precaution is taken to prevent accidents. " Half-past Twelve o'clock. " The Prince President enters on horseback ihe Champ do Mars, followed by a numerous staff; he passes at full gallop along the two lines of troops; he is saluted by the most ardent acclamations. " Ono o'Clock. "The Price.: President, after having passed 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 fete, the Prince President addresses an allzcution to the army, which receives it with enthu siasm. The religious ceremony of the distribution of the fligs commruces. Nothing can give an idea of the mag nificence of thisfele. "Two o'Clock. "The religious ceremony is - over. The Prince Presi dent mounts his horse, and the troops begin to defile. 'I he defile will last two hours. The enthusiasm of the troops is at its hEigh , . "During the progress from the Elyi 63 National to the Champ do Mars the population 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 Preaident returns to the Elyt6d amidst the most lively acclamations. " Four o'Clock. " The Prince President has just entered the Elytee NittionaL " His progress from the Champ de Mars to the Ely! 4 I bas been one immense ovation. The most admirable oruer ceased not to reign during the ceremony. .6 No accident has been notified." Besides the director of the telegraph there was another historian. "THE MINISTER OF POLICE TO THE PREFECT OF ---. " Four o'Clock. " The review is over ; it has proved what might have been expected —imposing by its grandeur and solemnity. The army and the wh o l e p o p u l at i on sa l ute d the Prince w ith unanimous Reclamation?. Ail Paris is a fete " The Constitutionnel annou n c es th at th e Legitimists, in complialice with a letter from the Count DE CRAMMED, have resolved on refusing to take the oath. The followint; is the conclusion of the article of the Constituttonnel 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 enough to do with those of Ffance. The condnet of the Legitimists only affects us so far as it may have an icfluence on the ge neral state of things. In this point of view that attitude which they appear to take towards the Government, we must admit is ne ith e r wanting in decision or clearness. It is of a nature to remove all uncertawy, and to mark the position of every one, and that is what we like. The Government, which does not require to borrow strength from any one, and which had made an appeal to all in a spirit of concord, well know how to act with re gard to i*clated persons, and will be aware of the co 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 swe into the conduct and progrea of its fadverse m ove i e o movement t t o and the f o Legitimatise r adversa ries, and to know with certainty on what it may or may not reckon, we cannot see with displeasure the it to new m now number its force?, we can only regard it as a useful lesson Fr e c party. If it suits A match between LOUIS 'NAPOLEON and a Princess of Brazil, which some time since was rumoured to be on the tapir, is n ow s p o k en o f : " I informed you about the middle of last Janu ar y that negotiations were to be undertaken with a view to o marriage between Louis Napoleon and s Princess 0 Brazil. This match is now spoken of again as highly probable, and the negotiations are described as in an ad vanced state. - The Prin6siti to 'Whom overtures of mar riage are made is Marie-Amelie, daughter of lion Pedro by his second marriage with the daughter of the Duke de Leuchtenberg, and, therefore, great-grand-daughter of the Em press Josephine. She is now in her twenty second e: tr. Thus, the Prince President and the Prince de Joinvi lle would be married to two sisters." The Bourse was again heavy, without any fall in prices.

SPAIN. The accounts from Madrid are of the 8 h inst. The Government had submitted some time ago to the Royal Council a project c.f law relative to en tailed estates. That pr( ject was examined by one of th e sections of that body, and rejected. Since then the Government forwarded to the Royal Council a 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 atioyed 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 Basque provinces, Estremadura, Catalonia, Aragon, and others would be superseded in their Governments The Three per Cents. were done at 424; the New Three per Cents,, at 21f ; the Debt of the First clas3, At 8i ; 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. The French i.quadroh has cast anchor before Leg born, but will immediately continue its voyage for Naples, Palermo, and Al g i e rs. 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. BULWER, the English Ambassador (now expected every mo ment), will succeed in persuading the GRAND DuKa 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 much filed at Rome by the POPE and the eardinal4. HEP. MAJESTY'S THEATRE. 11 Barhiere, with Cruvelli and Lablache, attracted a numerous and fashionable auditory last evening. In celebration of the (State) anniversary of her Map sty's birth, the National Anthem was sung by the principal artists, and received with the most loyal enthusiasm. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA. Lucia di Lammermoor was performed here last night, with Madlle. Anna Zerr as the heroine, Herr Ander as the Edgard°, and a Mutant from Palermo, Signor Bar tolini, as the Enrico. The Lucia of Madlle. Zerr is a performance which will neither disappoint nor surprise those who have witnessed other personations by this ac complished artist. Her vocaliz ition is superb, and the perlct 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 full 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 enthu , iasm• Herr Ander's Edgardo is a most careful and effective personation, never sinking to mediocrity, and frequently characteriz ld by a very high order of excellence. In certain passages, and especially in the close of the second act, he sang with a spirit and vividness which carried his audience with him. The death scene was deiivered with great delicacy and pathos, and throughout the whole opera the germanesque st3lo of Herr Ander stamped his persona tion with a marked, and far from unacceptable, origina llty. The new ddbutint, Sig. Bartolini, is a valuable acqui sition to the establishment. 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 the m'acceedi," and on leaving the scene was recalled by acclamation. The performance, taken as a whole, was brilliant, and the pirtect manner in which the lovely choruses were given contributed largely to the completeness of the effect. The principal singers were called before the curtain, Madlle. Z.,rr's efforts being also recognised by a repeated floral homage. The National Anthem was sung at the termination of the opera in honour of the Queen's birili-day, the solo verses being rendered by Madlle. Z:rr and Madame Castellon. ST. JAMES'S THEATRE. We have just seen a presp-ctu3 of the series of Ger man Ways which Mr. Michell has entered into arrange ments for presenting shortly at his elegant theatre. The twelve representations to which the series is limited comprise some of the chefs d'ceuvre of the German drama. Tens we have the Egmont and the Faust of the great Goe he ; the Pon Curios. the Robbers, and the Intrigue ; Leasing' s E m ili a G a l o tti ; Rsm- Mosenthal, &c ; Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet in leastTeu taPoannediheL'6doprveeses(a).fthaoSnfdct.6tnriol:ritntu'll'ecil;dramas by Kotz Laube, in interoit, Sehiller's im mortal gong of the Bell," arranged for the stage by Gnethe, with Romberg's original music. The artists with whom engagement s h ave b een conc l u d e d are many ofthemcelebriti, s in Germany—Devrient, Grunert, Kiihn among the actors; and among the actresses wilhelmi, Smite, Von Muller, and Eppert, crowned with the - laurels of Dresden, Darmstadt, Stutt gaidt and Brunswick. The superintendence of the general arrangements and the stage and orchestral details will be committed to most efficient hands; and we have no doubt, from the liberality, taste, and experience of Mr. Mitchell, that the ensemble will eminently command the patronage of the public, from its features of excellence as well as novelty. A person desirous of obtaining a correct pronunciation, as well as grammatic 11 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 Goiithe's of Beethoven. celebrated tragedy of Egmont, with the original music THE CHEPSTOW ... R AILWAY BRIDGE OVER THE WYE.—RAISING THE TUBE.—CHEPSTOW, THURSDAY. —. The important final operation of rai ing the great tube to its permanent position, On the top of the piers in the centre and on the east bank of the Wye, has now been happily consum mated; and the perilous and important portion of the work being happily accomplished, what remains to be done is only of a routine and ordinary 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 overco -- miug 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 front this time. The other tube will then be floated and raised for the other line of rails.

THE NORLEY•IIALL COLLIERY EXPLOSION.—The inquest in this case terminated on Wednesday evening. The evidence affords another melancholy instance of the difficulty of enforcing anythine. like ordinary care in coal-mines, even where life is at stake ; a nd in this case i t ma y be trul y said that Twelve lives might have been s aved if the g rossest in difference had not been manifested to the dictates of prudence.

The sales comprised 8,000 American, 1,000 Pernam and Maranhara at 6/d. to 7d., 950 Bihia at 60, to 6i 1., 1,500 Egyptian at 6d. to 7id.. and 500 Surat at 341. to 40. per lb,—The Share Market was flat 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 salt-8 base commenced and are going off very satisfac torily. Other 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 ot sugar, coffee, spices, &c., are increasing. The ques tion ot a reduction in the wine duty is still attracting a goud deal of attention among the trade and some con troversy; but it is unlikely the Government will ;nuke any change at present. The principal conditions on which the Master of the Mint propo.es to let the refinery are, the lease to be for ten years, terminable after three years by 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 he amount of 10 000/. for the per formance of the fif , l cnndition. The lessee shalt be bound to rcciive and refine any gold or silver sent to the refinery by the Master of the Mint, not being less than 100Ibs., nor more than 4001b5., in -one day, and re tarn the proper pantity of fine gold or fine silver, as determified by the assay of either of the assayers to the Mint, to be selected by the Master (the same apayer to be employed both for issuing and receiving, and no charge made against the refiner fur assaying), within fourteeen days, at the following rates of charge for re fining:—gold 4s. per lb.; silver 6d. per lb. These prices no; 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 ttie 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.

Directions are given for making the long-lice, flax=cokton, and flax-wool, and there is a description of the chemical means employed, as well as of the system of bleaching fibres, yarns, and fabrics. Che• valier Claussen's pamphlet upon the national importance and advantages of the Flax movement has reached a fourth edition, and has some useful additions.
