If anything had been required to demonstrate still more clearly the ab:andoment of all sense of political decency by Lord JOHN RUSSELL, conclusive evidence would have been afforded by the proceedings of yes terday. Proceedings more ungenerous under the cir cumstances have never before disgraced the annals of Parliamentary Opposition. Proceedings more factious of their kind have never before elicited from the pub lie journalist the expressions of a conscientious con demnation. It needed only this to assure us that the late PaimE MINISTER is entirely ignorant of the meaning of the word magnani mity. His conduct towards his successor will be contrasted 1)y th e future annalist with that displayed towards himself by his brave-hearted and noble minded predecessor. To maintain, as Lord JOHN RUSSELL maintained yesterday, that there is any parity between the policy adopted by himself at the present juncture, and that adventured upon by Sir B O XERT PEEL in 184 6, is di s i ngenuous beyond the limits even of plausibility. in reality there is no resemblance whatever betwee n the of h sit t ua e ti D on erb o y f G th o e - Russt4l Governm ent then and b vernme nt now-a -dap. There is an absence of all simi larity even is appearance. The present Cabinet has been called into existence not through its own eager assiduity in skiving to attain the power and preroga tives of administration. It has been suddenly and unexpectedly summoned into being by the weakness its of a Mi n i s t ry w hi c h had lost all former influence over the population. The prete:-..ce that by the eleva tion to power, thus summarily, of the Earl of DERBY and him political supporters necessitates the rever;al of our commercial systetr, is on the very face of it a wilful sham and a deliberate delusion. From the very commencement we have insisted upon this. prom the very outset we have maintained that there is about as much likeli hood of a restorati , )n of the system of monopoly as ton re is of an interference with the laws regulating the movements of abe planets. To declare otherwise is to assert what is contrary to the speaker's own se- area convictions, or to acknowleep a doubt in the stability of free trade—a doubt altogether incompatible with aright sense of its wisdom, its efficacy, and its popularity. Hence we deemed it our duty, as Free-traders, to discountenance forthwith and entirely the coultze threatened by the lion. 4;preeentative fur Wolverhampton — dechring that course, as we did not shrink from doing, to be nothin g less thin factions, because glaringly unnecessary. Fsc;ioue, hewever, though the course projected by Mr. TILLIBIL3 vraL, it was not facticus enough by any means for Lard jonN RUSSE LL. The promised mo tion was not calculated to inlertere speedily enough tvitu wile, under the most advantag d rus eir curnattamoe!4, could not fail to be the very ajaf i atatt movement s of the Government. It has con sequently been withdrawn in compliance with the suggestion of the magnanimous Leader of the Opposi sion, who yesterday, in the p resence o f 168 M em b ers of the Lower House, assembled in solemn conclave at his private residence, announced his determination to 1-ibrow an obstacle in the w ay of the new Cabinet as Monday next. Having received from the Zia. the ClO-I.lcALL:iit Of the EXCHEQUER an to a - letter, vflattile r 11 c +o4soix'6 ....-nr - T - 71,r - - early 83 t , , f•i.-7)-;:,.. - - c _ . , ‘ 14 , ' r 1 ...v" • A v;2‘7 , ..:' . • -4. ) -Ci.; •,.=,-.-_-_7:--- i..- • • s - - ___ ,a ),..... . / THE Ministers would be prepared to explain at once their intended policy in reference to Free Trade or Protection, Lord JOHN RUSSELL in formed the meeting yesterday that that answer had proved so far evasive that he, the Noble Lord, was resolved upon immediately forcing the Government into the necessity of an explanation. After informing his " kyind friends" that such was the generous con clusion at which he had arrived, the late PREMIER in timated in a tone of flattering significance, and of seductive insinuation, that in the event of his own ultimate restoration to office, he proposed laying be fore Parliament a new Reform Bill, such as he con ceived would be more generally acceptable to the population. The meaning of all this is surely sufficiently transparent. It affords only another testimony, and thi9, moreover, a very sorry one, that the Whig PREMIER is true to his political antecedents. In office he does nothing, or next to nothing—out of office he promises everything, and, by his specious assurance, makes the mouths of the more credulous water for the advent of the time when he might re • sume the reins of government. We do not think, however, the public are to be cajoled again so very readily, We don't think the Noble Lord will be afforded once more an opportunity of falsifying his own declarations. The experience the nation has reaped from the last five or six years of his mal-administration is not likely, we conceive, to render the people solicitous for the speedy restoration of his party. The people, indeed, are sick of them to very nausea ; they are sick of the GREYS and of the ELLIOTS, of the WOODS and of the RUSSELLS; they are sick of their ill-temper and their imbecility, of their egre gious place-hunting and their aristocratic predilec tions. The multitude is as likely to demand the elevation of Mr. TAPER to the rank of one of the Lords of the Treasury, or to require the transforma tion of Mr. TA_ r oLs into a Chancellor of the Ex chequer, or to clamour for the re-appointment of the Right Hon. NICHOLAS RIGBY as Chief Secre tary to the Board of Admiralty—as to betray any anxiety to witness the resumption of power by the late incompetent leaders of the Ad ministration. It is manifest enough from the proceedings re ferred to above, the proceedings which must be long and appropriately associated with Ches ham-place, that Lord JOHN RUSSELL is bidding eagerly for the renewal of his authority as First Lord of the Treasury. Not thus acted Sir ROBERT PEEL, a statesman as enlightened as he was magnanimous. Nay, if we might judge correctly from the facts which came to light yester day, we believe we could announce with all accuracy that as eagerly as Lord JOHN RUSSELL is bidding anew for the Premiership, so also is Mr. JOHN BRIGHT bidding for the principal post at the Horse Guards. And, what is yet more, we look forward with equal confidence to the re-appointment of Lord Jous RUSSELL as Prime Minister, and to the nomination of Mr. JOHN BRIGHT as Commander-in- Chief of the Forces. Among all those 168 Members assembled yesterday, in Chesham-place, two only vindicated by word of mouth their title as Liberal representatives—the Hon. Member for Finsbury insisting upon the superior necessity of forwarding the cause of Parliamentary reform, instead of bringing forward this Quixotic onslaught upon the windmills of Monopoly and the wine-skins of Protection—and the veteran Member for Montrose sarcastically maintaining that there was at this mo ment not a jot less need for Lord JOHN RUSSELL, than for the Earl of DERBY, to explain the nature of the principles upon which he would be prepared to con duct the labours of her MAJESTY'S Government. It is more than probable that, before many weeks have elapsed, there will be a dissolution of Parlia ment, and that the several constituencies throughout the length and breadth of the land will be again called upon to exercise the important trust confided to their charge, to select fit and proper persons to represent their feelings and wishes in the Imperial Parliament. The duty is at all times one of vast importance, but it is more particularly so on the present occasion. The commercial policy of the nation is about to be placed on trial. The people may be called upon to decide between Free Trade and Protection, between untaxed bread and a small loaf. We entertain not the slightest doubt as to what the result will be whenever the appeal may be made to the country. If there were even a possi bility of a Parliamentary majority in favour of a corn law, either in the shape of a sliding-scale or a fixed duty, the voice of public opinion would be sufficiently potent to prevent the revival of the obnoxious impost. No Ministry would dare to bring in such a law, and we cannot suppose that even the most sanguine Pro tectionist would not think it dearly bought at the expense of the internecine conflict that would in evitably arise. We trust and believe, however, that the question may not arise, but that the different agricultural constituencies will be contented to ac cept the Act of 1846 as a final settlement of the verata questio, and look to other remedial measures that would prove exceedingly beneficial to their order, and which would receive the general concur rence of the industrious classes. It is not, however, material for the purposes of our present argument to consider the course that may be pursued, or the policy indicated ;by the dif ferent candidates ; we would rather direct the public attention to the duty of the electors, and those pos sessing, or supposed to possess, extraordinary influ ence, whether as landlords or employers, at the present crisis. And, first, as to the electors, more partical irly in the smaller boroughs. It must now be manifest to all such parties that the tricks and schemes which have heretofore been practised with compara tive impunity can no longer be tolerated. They may receive a salutary lesson from the course adopted with respect to St. Albans. It will, if properly con sidered, convince them that it is the fixed and de liberate determination of Parliament to put down bribery, treating, and the various phases of corrup tion with the strong hand, that no compromise be tween opponents—both of whom may be equally im .l e prceted in discreditable practices—will prevent the most stringent and searching inquiries, if suspicion be excited, and that the necessary investigations will be conducted before far more efficient tribunals than the Committees which have heretofore decided upon subh matters. The ex-Pne lidlEle has announced his intention of going on even during the present session with the Corrupt Practices at Elections Bill. But even if that mea sure should not receive the legislative sanction pre ' vious to the dissolution, there can be but little doubt that a similar proposition will be carried at the com mencement of the sittings of the new Parliament, and that it will, to a certain extent, have an ex post fact operation, bringing all matters that may occur the general election under its operation. precedent with respect to St. Albans will throw considerable light on this subject, and 'phroacwtk eveshat persons indulging in such unjustifiable may reasonably anticipate. It will there fore be incumbent on a ll b orough e l ec t ors w h o d es i re to avoid political annihila e tion ia t t o ed a . ct fairly and above board, convinced th a t any deviation from the line of d u ty must be lamentably expiated. As to landlords and empl oyers, we would earnestly invite the attention of those persons to a letter from a venerable and venerated patriot to his tenantry on the subject of the approaching that ees • um on our contest Pi; the represe ntation of the county o f Ki ldare. Lord CLONCLTERY'S name, and his sterling, ghtni . nded inte gparritty are so b so weabsolutelyellknown un n e any e s s ur y. I t carries with it a higher tit le than any which the favour I og i of a mere earthly mo narch could c onfer. He May b e mistaken in som a p oin ts — for wh o is are convinced perfect but we he never advocatedthat improper mo tives—that during his prolonged life he . invariably his heart. any cause from gave expression to the true feelings of This distinguished Noblemen, then, has written to the tenantry on his extensive estates, a circular, which we cannot deny ourselves the plea sure of publishi ng i n extenso, and which ma y serve as a model for other landlords. He expresses his own feelings, as any man is justly entitled to de, but scrupulously abstains from any undue interference, We shall, however, give his Lordship's, own words : but not the l east s i ncere of your frien d s, tho"ttlan humble,ryiro dfrura public Iget thialee it SUN, LONDON, duty to call your attention to the addresses for the ap proaching election. No candidate says a word about repeal; yet is repeal the one thing needful, the only hope for the salvation or regeneration of your country. It is, I verily believe, the heartfelt desire of nine-tenths of the honest and thinking men of Ireland, dormant though it be in our misery. " But great emphasis seems laid on the subject of re ligion. Ireland can never prosper while any difference exists among us on that subject, or any desire to in terfere with or inquire into the feelings or opinions of our neighbours. Protection also is a favourite cry, and a very foolish one, which will not humbug the people of England, nor, I hope, my sharp-witted countrymen. Wheat we should not attempt to grow ; in oats, flax, potatoes, green crops, and cattle we stand unrivalled. There need be no misunder standing about tenant-right; the landlord is dependent on the tenant, as the tenant on him; their interests must go together if either party is to prosper. Careless and absentee landlords have suffered in these sad times as well as their tenants; a mutually beneficial agree ment should be made in open court, and enforced. " As to the elective franchise, it belongs exclusively to the tenan•, and should be protected by the ballot. I never dared to dictate on such a subject; the dishonest man who would corrupt our elf-ctors would sell his country. Our misfortunes have been greatly enhanced by the dishonest men who, pretending to be Repealer!, sold themselves to the Ministers for paltry places, and prevented you from recovering the constitution of 1782. " dLONCURRY." " Your affectionate friend, " Maretimo, March 10. We shall not allude to the subject of repeal, which has, fortunately for all parties, been long shelved. We car, however, respect the fidelity to the cause which once created such intense excitement, exhi bited by the Noble Lord. There is, however, real truth conveyed in the earnest deprecation of religious animosities, and the assertion that "Ireland can never prosper while any difference exists on that subject, or any desire to interfere with or inquire into the feelings or opinions of our neigh bours." There is sound instruction, too, on the point of Protection, " a favourite cry, and a very foolish one." We cordially concur with his Lordship in believing that it will never again " hum bug the people of England," nor the " sharp-witted" inhabitants of Ireland. The great, the important portion of this admirable epistle, which every landlord throughout the entire kingdom should ponder, is contained in the first por tion of the concluding paragraph. Lord CLONCURRY tells us, that " as to the elective franchise, it belongs exclusively to the tenant, and should be protected by the ballot." This is a truth which Lord JouN RUSSELL should have learned before he brought forward his quasi-Reform Bill, endeavouring rather to preserve the balance of parties than to obtain a full and fair representation of the people. Let every man who might think of exerting his influence (! !) in favour of a particular candidate consider the next sentence emanating from a Nobleman who has gained golden opinions from men of all classes, creeds, and parties. " I never (said the veteran Peer) dared to dictate on such a subject; THE DISHONEST MAN WHO WOULD CORRUPT OUR ELECTORS WOULD SELL HIS COUNTRY." The sentiment should be inscribed in golden letters at the head of every address to electors. It should sink deep into the minds of voters, and all with whom such voters might be in any degree connected, so that the latter might be ashamed to offer, and the former might indig nantly repudiate any undue interference. The letter is, however, eminently deserving of a calm and attentive perusal, and as such we earnestly com mend it to the consideration of the community, more especially of those who may speedily be called upo n to bestow their suffrages on the most deserving claimants. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The decree on the University which appeared in the Moniteur of Wednesday is viewed rather disfa vourably by several of the journals which do not habitually support the Government. Neither • the Debate, the Assernblie .Nationale, nor the Union , lend it their countenance in their several articles o f yes terday. M. ARMAND MARRAST is no more. His death is thus noticed in the Siecle:— " One of the most distinguished and able journalists of our day has just fallen, after a long and severe ness. Paris and France will remember what AL Armand Marrast was after the revolution of February, es Mem ber of the Provisional Government and as Mayor of Parir, and there is not a member of the Constituent Assembly but must retain the remembrance of the dig nified and intelligent manner in which he presided Over that body. M. Marrast, who had an attack of apoplexy in November last, died yeeterc'ay afternoon. We do not yet know what day has been fixed for his interment." _ _ _ On the 6th instant the sub•prefect of Toulon, ac companied by the colonel commandant of the garrison, went to Fort Lamalgue to set at liberty such prisoners in confinement there as had been placed by the deci sion of the mixed commis-ion under the surveillance of the general police. When informed in the mornin g of the intentions of the authorities towards their, they expressed their sati.faction and gratitude by cries of " Vive Napoleon I" and " Vive le President!" and when the sub-prefect, before releasing them, addressed to them some words of advice as to their future con duct, the same cries were repeated. The number of persons set at liberty amounts to 238. The Superior Council of Public Instruction has been convoli , :d by the Minister of Puba Instruction for an extraordinary sitting on Monday, the 15th. " The Minister of Public instruction," says the Debats, " applied to M. ST. MARC GIRARDIN to ac• cept the place of inspector general of the University, in the section of letters. M. ST. MARC GIRARDIN, however, considered that he ought not to separate from his old colleagues of the permanent section, which is suppressed by the new decree. Ile remains professor at the Faculty of Letters, and, as member of the Institute, forming part of the superior council, he will perform the gratuitous duties which the new decree preserves to the members of that council." The members of the superior council of public in struction who cease to form part of it in consequenc of the decree of the 19th instant, are—MM. Titans, member of the Consistory of the Reformed Church, BETAMONT, DE ST. AIGNAN, DUPIN, LAPLAGNE BARRIS, FLOURENS, BEUGNOT, ORFILA, DUBOIS, COIThIN, and LABBE. The Count DE MONTALFMRERT, whom several journals declared to have visited Brussels, has, says the Patrie, never quitted Paris. M. GUINARD has been released unconditionally from his confinement at Donnell& We read in the Presse :—" The differences between the French Government and the Helvetic Confederation are asserted to be at an end. If we are to attach faith to a version, strange enough, which we have heard, the arrangement has been con cluded at Lyons between General DUFOUR and a political personage, not our Minister of Foreign Affairs. Mutual concessions ars said to have been made." The sale of the library of the late King Louis Philippe commenced on Monday night in the Salle Syl vestre, Rue des Bons Enfans, and will continue, it is calculated, for about a month. The catalogue is par ticularly rich in manuscripts and poems of the thir teenth and fourteenth centuries, amongst which the most precious is the famous romance of" Perceforest," the sole copy existing, and which it is supposed will fetch upwards of 10,000 F. ; in fact, it is affirmed that a commission has been sent from London to offer as high as that sum for the work. When Neuilly was sacked in 1848 a great part of the library was injured, but a vast number of high interest still re mains, many being splendidly bound, and bearing the arms of the Duchess of Orleans, mother of King Louis Pnilippe. The proceedings of Monday night pre sented nothing very worthy of interest, with the exception of the sale of a beautiful manuscript in ten volumes quarto, containing the life and doc• trines of Jesus Christ. This work was written in 1772 by an abbe, and imitates perfectly, from one end to the other, the printed character. This work, which was given to Louis Philippe by Carrere, the member of the convention, was knocked down for 2501. The crowd was so great during the evening in the room, which is of exceedingly limited dimensions, that it is thought probable that some other place will be chosen for the sale before it has gone on much longer. Workmen have commenced the demolition of all the old buildings appertaining to the Palace of the Elysee, and now forming the stables, guard-house, and offices of the President's residence. New construc tions are to be erected in their place, more in harmony with the main building. The Prefect of the Seine has just given his appro bation to a project for deepening the Seine between the Pont de la Concorde and the Pont d'lena, in so effectual a manner as to remove the rocks and sand banks which now impede the navigation between the two bridges. Particular care is to be taken to deepen prop er l y the part wa artofsthcerreiavteed on river nearest e the Bur to o wi s n e g- b p y a ath.

GERMAN Y. The New Prussian Gazette states, from Frankfort, that on the 6th the Germanic Diet decided by a large majority that two of the ships of the German fleet, the Eikernfoerde frigate and the .13srbarossa steam frigste, should be pledged to the Prussian Govern ment for 160,000 florins (about 330,000 r.), but with the faculty ?t redemption up to the 31st March, by which time it is hoped that some positive decision will be come to respecting the fleet.

The question of the expulsion of General Mel bitz and other Polish-refugees had been brought be fore the Chamber of Deputies by M. Chrisanthopoulos, who expressed himself warmly against the measure adopted by the Government. M. Parkas, the Minis ter of Foreign Affairs, replied that the Cabinet could Dot at that moment explain the motives which had led to the measure, but that it would do so at the next sitting. M. Yzanos expressed his hope that the Government would not long entrench itself in such a mysterious silence, which would only tend to excite suspicions and expose it to public animadversion. M. Provellegio, Minister of Justice, d en i e d i n th e most formal terms the opinio n th a t h a d g one forth that the expul sion of the Polish refugees had taken place at the demand o f any f ore i gn P ow er, and declared that the motive of the Government for acting as they had done was that the refugees in question had abused the hospitality which had been accorded to them. The Chamber, he felt assured, would, on the production of the document?, fully approve of the conduct of the Government in the mutter. The conversation then dropped. A CORN-LAW CURIOSITY.
