IMPERIAL P.A.RLIAMEN T. ROUSE OF LORDS, June 24. Their Lordships assembled at Five o'clock, the LORD CEANCELLon presiding. The Etrl of RODEN presented a number of petitions from different parts of Ireland against the Maynooth grant, and praying for the inspection of nunneries. ADULTERATION OF COFFEE. In answer to a question from Lord TORRINGTON., The Earl of DERBY said that it was the intention of );he Government to rescind the minute of 1840, which p .rmits the admixture of chicor y and other articles with comae; at the same time, as the simple rescinding of the minute would leave grocers and others exposed to 'pro secution for keeping on their premises articles which ',Alt be used for the adulteration of coffee, instructions would be given to the Excise not to press for penalties where these articles were kept in separate packets, and marked as being what they really were. After a few words from the Eerl of Mitrro rend Lord BEDEsDALt, theesubject dropped. • itEtTNET'S DIVORCE. • Lord MOUNTCASHELL moved the second reading of this 8111, the consideration of which, it will.be.remem bered, was postponed si ne die.

This was great hardship upon the railway companies. The effect o f the order was to enable large companies to prevent Parliament from considering any scheme of competition. He proposed to refer the order to the Standing Orders Committee, with a view of considering the propriety of reducing the majority of shareholders now required to unction an application to Parliament from four-fifths to three-fifths. • Lord REDESDALE said the object of the order was to protect the shareholders from the.directors of com panies, and if it had been found to act oppressively, there would have been more than the single case of the Shrewsbury and Cheater and Shrewsbury and Birming ham Companies , to cite. He knew inttarces in which the proportion of four-fifths had prevented injury being done. As to the suggestion that the shareholders before •yoting should have had their shares for a certain.and definite time, he thought j valuable ono; and with ro spe e; to the proposition of the Noble Marquis he thought it bolter to refer the order to the consideration of a less numerous Compeittee than the Committee on Standing Orders, aid if any alterations were made in the present regulations, it should be done on the fullest and moat einpartial inquiry. ,Lord lIA.THERTON observed that the proportion of font -fifths appeared to have been adopted by the COM mittkle without any grounds being stated for that course, and be was surprised that he had heard no grounds stated by the Noble Lord (Radesdale) for its adoption. With reference to the specific case which had given rise to the discussioa of the matte: on a late occa,3ion, rte thought it; hard that the ironmasters of Staffordshire had no mesa, of direct communication with the coast by railway. It was only by competition between the various endlweyeoMpaaies thht that ooald bo effected, and if this order operated to prevent the establishment of that competition, he thought. a modification of it, tvo n ,that and upon general grounds ought to be adopted. He had no obieetion to three-fifths being the majority instead_of fogr-fifths. The ctrl of .STRADBROKE thought that three fourths would be a fair majority. Tne Earl of HARROWBY thought it advisable that - the standing order should be maintained, for the per peva of preventing the interests of the great body of the shareholders from, being sacrificed to the jobbing of direretore. _ Tile Marquis of LINSDOWNEerged upon the House the •ueceesity of protecting the interest of the public. Upon the subject of amalgamation, that was a question upon - Which it was most important that their Lordships should be able to pronounce en unfettered opinion, re gard being had to the merits of the case. It was not to be determined by the particular interests of small Com panics,' liable to be influenced in thcerarious ways their Lordships had heard described. Bat when the questioe arose between two great and pome:ful companies, he though they should lock at it on public principle, and see which of these companies Was the most likely, with reference to all the local circumstances, to become an aneAgemateri body ehe must useful in providing for the wants of tie public:.

Lord BROUGHAM said that the question ought to be referred, and that that should have been done threb years age: - Lord LYNDHURST said there could be no doubt that legislation upon this subject was in a most tinsatis . ,factory stute.

The Bill was framed under the superintendence of the Master of the Rolls in the House of Commons. It dealt in an unsparing manner with the officers connected with the Lord Chancellor's Court; but it had not touched the offices of the Master of the Rolls' Court, except in rendering them more advantageous than they were heretofore. The clerk to the secretary of the Court of Chancery was not to excee d 2001. a year,whereas the two or thr ee c lerks of the secr etar y of the Master of the Rolls were to have a sa lar y of 3001. a year each.--(Hear.)

As tar as he n nderetood the principle of the Bill, he thought that theeGovernoient had acted most wisely in reference to the waste lands and mines. The Earl of DERBY said that the Bill was framed with tho view of removing some doubts that existed is reference to the legal appropriation of those revenues, arising out of the sale of waste lands, because they had been hitherto considered part of the hereditary re venues of the Crown, and were given in consideration of the civil li s t, w hi c h was appropriated by Parliament. It was now intended by this Bill to give to the colonies the profits arming out of the sale of the waste lands and any mineral treasures of the colonies, instead of leaving them to be appropriated by Parliament. In reply to an obeervation from the Duke of NEW CASTLE, The Earl of DERBY said that this measure could not be considered a permanent one that would meet every contingency that might arise in those colonies. Of course a now arrangement must be made if the re venues of those colonies should hereafter be each as to require it. The Bill was then read a third time and passed. The Turnpike Acts Continuance Bill and the Poore law Board Continuance Bill, the Inland Revenue Office Bill, and the Savings Banks (Ireland) Bill, were seve rally read a second time. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 25, SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. TIMES.—The neighing of a horse, the flight of birds, height of stature, strength of arm, or length of beard have in various ages and countries served to de termine the choice and election of rulers over mankind, But even those expedients of barbarous or superstitious nations led there in all probability to results less sudden and unexpected than the modern ballot-box, as it in used in the United States. For that singular en gine o f popular election positively brings about the exclusion of all the most prominent candidates, and as a necessary consequence, the selection of some person whose abilities and former services had hitherto kept him in a condition of relative obscurity. The principle of hereditary monarchy is perhaps not , easily to .be reconciled with a b s t rac t cons id e rations of pure reason applied to the transmission of sovereignty over a free and intelligent people. Nothing appears more simple than to say, " Let such a nation elect the worthies of its citizens to rule over its destinies and to direct its policy." Yet experience shows that hereditary monarchy has for some thousands of years, and under very different phases of less uncertainty and anomaly psurceeseidsseni uu It is based upon tradition, and jostled by experience; but it is still more forcibly O ct h i e v ra i tt 1 1 1 a itnt i i t ei i t o : n lp , euebt p ii r vi.c o e : n u s e s3 e . recommended by the startling absurdities and the per plexing- results of Chi? opaDsito system, as applied by t sd e te te — e l under our own eyes. Popular election has just g i ven, for instance, a Louis Napo leon to France; and it has suddenly raised a go:nee man of New HaniPshire, of whom nothing was known America as a respected member - al the Leeislature, to in Europe till yesterday, an d w h o was only known in the exalted posidon of candidate "afeethe Democratic of the United States. The Presidency form of election by univer sal suffrage necessarily depends on two trials. The candidate must first b e chosen and accepted as the solo candidate of his Party throughout the country; and, i p i o a s rty ibi f i np i r ty th o e f se condly, the party which has thus adopted him must obtain the majority e over its antagonist at the regular and decisive election required by the Constitution. But the preliminary election, conducted under pri vate arrangement, and binding only by the obligations of par ty honour, is indispensable to ultimate success, for if eit her Patty were divided in the choice of its representative, the victory would remain with the other side; an d , in point of fact, although the sub sequent and formal election decides the contest of par ties, the previous convention settles the still more de licate and i mportant question of persons. At this stage of the electoral proceedings it might, therefore, be conceived that personal merit would have the utmost weight, as all the candidates submitted to this trial are supposed to represent the same political opinions. yet the recent determination of the Democratic Conven tion at Baltimore has again proved, as bad been pre viously shown upon the election of Mr. Polk in 1844, that it is easier for an untried man to attain the summit of political Poser by such a process than for a man of the highest standing in the country to overcome the jea lousy of his rivals. Montesquieu has said that the prin ciple of absolute monarchy is fear, and that of aristo cracies is honour. To speak in the same general terms, the principle of democracies is envy. Envy is the true name of that passion for equality, which they some times indulg e even by the sacrifice of freedom an d the proscrip t i on of greatness; for, by the operation of universal suffrage and the mechanism of popular elec tions, it t -- is easier to insure the defeat of a rival than to secure the return of a friend. Such is the result which these Canoes elections in the United States frequently exhibit. By the form and rule of their proceedings, the c andidate who obtains the votes of two-thirds of the eseegetea is to he proclaimed the candidate of the whole party, and accepted by the rest. We will suppose that two or more candidates of eminence, Buell as Mr. Buchanan and General Cass, are the fa vourites, as the miner competitors drop off after the first ballot, As long as there is a third party on the list there the other be hope that his votes will be transferred to other principal candidates, so as to give one of them the requisite number of votes. 'But suppose that when , o nly two names remain one has 60 and the other 40 votes out of 100, 67 being the number required to ma ke a majority. The contest rages with violence and pertinacity, but with no result. Whatever is to happen neither side will pass over to its imme diate rival; and the passion for excluding him outweighs and mitigates the sense of its own failure. In this Ivey 40 or 50 ballots take place. Parties become weary and irritated, and fall into the state of men ready to adopt any y compromise which will save them from Political defeat. At that moment a comparatively small body of voters, who have kept their own counsel and Ptirposely thrown away their votes on other eandicla . tes iti the earlier ballots, may by good turnmanage mee the whole election in favour of their own secret candidate. In the present instance this manoeuvre has been skilfully performed by the electioneering dexterity of the men of Virginia, and as they started General Frank Pierce at the critical moment, he became in a very short time the term of compromise between the rival factions, and was chosen with a degree of unanimity that bodes well for his ultimate success as President of the United States. As far as we are able to . collect information respecting a gentleman who is thus raised to a more prominent position than he had before occupied, the lot has in this instance fallen well; and if the chances of success are—as we suppose them to be—in favour of the Democratic candidate, we greatly prefer General Pierce to either General Cass, Mr. Douglas, or Mr. Buchanan, speaking, of course, principally with reference to the opi nions an policy these gentlemen are believed to enter tain as to the relations of the Union with this country and with foreign Powers. General Pierce is said to pos sess the first and greatest quality of a statesman —high character. 40 has the good fortune not to have been mixed up with the feverish ogitution and the puerile pledges by which the candidates of the Democratic party are wont to court popularity. Ho has not made speeches for M. Kotsutb, or promised the annexation of Cuba. 'He has had experience of public affairs in the highest assembly of that country—the Senate of the United State.; •and, to dc'enid to minor particulars in his political creed , he is at once is man of New England a nd yet e decided champion of free trade. Mr. Rufus lee , neng, the Democratic cand idate for the vice - presidency, is better known to us from having filled the offi ce o f A mer i c an Minister in Paris, where, however, he left no very high impression of his qualifications, though he was justly more esteemed than his predecessor, General Cass. The ulti mate success of these gentlemen depends, however, on the result of the Presidential contest, which can only bo said fairly to begin when both parties have named their candidate. The choi ce o f th e Whig Convention is still unknown and doubtful. The march of events in each succeeding year convinces us more aad more that there is no occurrence beyond the limits of the British empire, and ou t of our control, whi c h exercises so great and impor tant an influence on our own welfare, and on the general progress of the world, 03 the character and policy of the American Government, It is not, therefore, without the deepest interest and solicitude that we watch the somewhat capricious operations by which the composi tion of that Government is to be determined for toe next four years. The relations - of the British em pire and the American Union have gradually twined themselves into a connexion, strengthened by common interests and commo n , freedom, which is alike distinct from the close and som e times onerous ties of a mother country to her eoloai J 3 3, and from the frigid or politic alliance of two foreign States. Between ourselves and the United States there is no dependency, and, strictly s peaking, no allian ce ; but there is identity in the first interests of industry, of peace, and of mutual respect. There isidentit y ill ties more sacred than those of diplo matte intercourse. be ~ 0 are told that a favourite staple of the inferior press of America is abuse of this country. It may bo so, for whether what they say of us be good or bad, it seldom falls under our antic©; but if such be the practice there, it is not one we art, disposed -0 t imitate. It becomes us rather to set the example of e xpressing our habitual respect for a country whose greatness we desire to see increase next to that of Eagla n d herself ; and although we may criti cize the instituti ons of the United States as freely as we do our own, we a re not th e l e ss conscious that the se in- • stitutions are eat the Transatlantic grow th of our liber ties, our laws, and our language, sprung from one root , and bred by one Pee le DAILY NE Ws . _ P Check the second has been felt by Louis Napoleon, In December he had things all his Own way—the army managed that—but when amongst his shower of decrees came out one confiscating the pro perty of the Orleans family, the lawyers of France ventured to question the legality of his spoliation, and in the proceedings that ensued the despot ic Pre sident of a nominal republic met his first serious rebut Embued with the determination to remain the absolute master of France, Louis Na poleon, however, thought it politic to surr ound himself by the sembl ance oc o nstitutional forms, and with that view he arranged his set of puppets as members of a Council of St ate and of a Legislative Body. To the latter of these he lass week sent for the second time his Finan cial Scheme for the coming year, with the understand ing that by his new Constitution they were bound to adopt it an a whole. But the members, though chiefly h; dignified with ''. l l friends and nominees —being the title of Corps _ e, . .1, 1 l a tii, and enjoying the dig nity of las e nie ,„ makers—felt "". enough of the spirit of items venture, on Tuesday, upon a discussion of the :„lera,b3; p laced before them for approval.

Whilst we have s Miniiter like Lord Ablatesbury for the manager WATER SUPPLY BILL. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY trusted that this Bill would not preclude the introduction of some other mea sure, haying for its object the supply of purer water to the metropolis. The Earl of DERBY said the only alternative was to pass or reject the present Bill. He admitted the subject had not been fully considered, but still the only course left open to the Government, was to propose th© pre sent measure or postpone legislation. If the measure were rejected for another year, most likely the public would be found in the same disadvantageous position in which they were at present. But there was undoubtedly this merit in the Bill, that it pro vided a purer supply of water to the people of the metropolis than was at this moment within their reach. Lord CAMPBELL expressed a hope that the Govern ment would apply their attention to the general subject of a water supply to the public. The subject had hi therto. been much neglected, but he did not charge that neglect on one Government more than another. He should much like to eea measures of this kind originated in their Lordships' House.

The petition prayed that the case might be re ferred to a Select Committee of their Lordships' House. Their Lordships then adjourned. LECTION INTELLIGENCE. • KING'S LYNN. Lord Stanley, son of the Premier, and Under-Secre tary for Foreign Affairs, has issued the following ad dress:— "_Tha approachi ng dissolution of Parliament induces ma again to address you, and I do so the rather, because duties connected with the office which I hold will render it impossible for me, so long as the House of Commons to solicit your votes in person. colt,tiNcelintsbeyitngs ti you for the discharge of an important trust, at a time when neither personally nor polieecallY bad I the honour to be known to any single member of your constituency, I cannot but remember with feelings ef wee than ordinary gratitude the unusual and per sonally unmerited confidence which you reposed in me on that occasion.

The state of public affairs is critical; and it incumbeat upon you not to be misled by any misrepre sentations concerning it. " A period of nearly six years has now gone by since the greet Conservative party of England was first divided into hostile sections, by a diffaeuce arising on both eides oat of honourable feelings, yet, singularly lament able Le its. results. Du: log :he greater part of We in terval tho Government eftho country has been entrusted Conn Administration formed ou the narrowest basis and un supported by the confidence of the people. The want of ad ministrative energy displayed by the late. Cabinet, though duo in some measure to the circumstances in which they were placed, has materially retarded the progress of pub lic busiuesa, and left to their successors a legacy of unee ceinplis'aedrefereas. That greater evils did not follow from 'the abeence of vi"orous and popular Government, is at tributatele mainly to the interposition of Parliament, and to the agency of an Opposition at once forbearing and vigilant. Tee accession of the present Ministry t o office, Occurring at a moment when such an event was least expected, has been caused by_no struggle on their Tart ter the possession of power, bat solely by the in terael weakness aad disorganizstion of their opponents.

"T-he late Prime Minister, at the commencement of the present session, propounded a scheme intended to subvert that system of national representation which he himeelf inaugurated at the passing of the first Reform Bill. His nroposition, condemned by the public voice, has fallen with its originator. But it is unquestionable that some inequalities and abuses exist in the distribution of eleetoial privileges; and where these can be rectified, or where en increase of population or of intelligence renders the actual franchise inadequate to the wants of the people, I cannot believe that the cause of the ceesti tution is bound up with the maintenance of a system im perfect in its details. To questions of this nature, how ever, not involving organic changes is the constitution, I do not ascribe that degree of importance which is sometimes given them. I believe that the House of Commons, es at present conetituted, represents with tolerable, acauracy the wants and feelings of every class; and I knOw that, practically, it opens to talent in every rank of life_the path of distinction in the service of the ' S tate. These advantages are not secured to an equal extent by any other legislative assembly now_ existing in the World. ," A measure was introduced in-the session of 1851, DY many persons conscientiously held to be a violation of religious liberty ! for which, nevertheless, I felt it my vote.

THE CANDIDATES FOR THE PRESI DENCY OF THE UNITED STATES. NEW YORK, JUNE B.—The steamer of last Saturday left just two hours before the news came of the nomina tion of the Dem ocra ti c can did ate f or t h e P res id ency o f the United States. The result is precisely what I anti cipated, and inti ma t e d i n m y l as t l e tt ers . N o one o f th e prominent candidates whose names came before the Convention was strong enough to command the undi vided support of the Democratic party; and Virginia, which has given us more than half our presidents from the time of Washington, and made most of the others, led the way for General Frank Pierce, of New Hamp shire. His name was hardly announced before the whole body of the Convention went over, and on the second ballot he was unanimously proclaimed. General Pierce is 54 years of age. Entering pub lic life very early, and achieving eminence at the bar, he distinguished himself in the Legislature of his na tive State, was several times elected Speaker of its Lower House, was afterwards a. Member for six years of the House of Representatives at Wash ington, and in 1837 was elected a member of the United States Senate. He is a man of thorough academic education, great political experience, unble mished private character, and unwavering firmness and decision. He is, and always has been, eminently a national man, never having been connected with any of the ructions or cliques of his party or of the times; and, although he had not achieved so brilliant a reputation, nor made so much noise, nor had caused, or even allowed, his name to be brought forward on many occasions, still the ad mirable modesty of his character, his great private worth, and public integrity had won for him the confi dence and respect of all who knew him. He has from the beginning been devotedly attached to the principles of free trade, and in this respect, probably, he is one of our most enlightened statesmen. The HOB. William Rufus King (who, by the provi sions of the Constitution and the election of the Senate, has, in consequence of the death of two Presidents in office, twice become Vice-President of the United States) has for many years presided over the Senate. He is a man also of great political ex perience ; entered the Senate upwards of thirty years ago, where he has remained ever since, with the exception of an interval of three years, when he re presented our Government at the Court of France, from 1844 to 1847. He is a man of great dignity of character, integrity, and learning. He is moderate in all his feel ings; and although he is not a brilliant man, still he possesses all those qualifications which the position he is nominated to calls tor. A single word in regard to his prospects of success. At first the nomination of General Pierce took the whole country by surprise; bat before twenty-four hours had passed it seemed to give universal satisfaction to the Democratic party, and you will perceive from the tone of the Whig papers that they regard Mr. Pierce as the most formidable antagonist they could pos sibly have had to encounter. I believe there is not an instance in our history in which the Democrats hare lost an election where they were perfectly united. General Pierce seems to have harmonized them com pletely, being an extreme northern man, brought for ward by the south, and receiving, as he did, the undi vided support of the entire Convention. The telegragh has brought us back the adhesion for him of every state in the union except California. That state is known to be democratic. It was aprehended that there would be a split in the Convention, for it was not sup posed that any expedient could be hit upon that would soften the asperities of- faction and unite the entire de mocratic party. But this has hem done most effectually; and, therefore, the impression seems to bo universal among the Democrats, and generally among the Whigs, that the " ticket" will be elected. The Whigs aro all alarmed, and it is supposed that the cation of the Democratic Convention renders Gene ral Scott's chances less flattering. Until the result of the Baltimore Convention was known, for several weeks events ha•l taken such a course that no doubt seemed to bo entertained that General Scott would be no minated. But so much discontent has manifested itself in the Whig party within a few days, and so many of its leading organs have committed themselves in so un qualfied a manner against Gen. Scott, that it seems more than probable his nomination would only divide the Whig party, and consequently cut off their last hope of triumph. There is, in fact, so far as I can judge, no hope whatever for theta in the next struggle, unless they imitate the exaurle of the Democrats—throw over board all their prominent candidates, and fix upon a young man who is obnoxious to no section of the country and to no portion of the party. If this be done there may be some doubt about the result; but I confess that for myself I entertain but very little. Other things being equal, the Democrats always stand the best chance; and now, when their intestine difficul ties and feuds are all healed up, at least for the present, circumstances can hardly be conceived that would again inflame a spirit of disunion among them. The proba bilities are very strong that General Pierce, if he lives, will be the next President of the United States. InMinpxtietter I will more minutely unfold the actual btste of the political affairs of the country, and of both parties, and define the great issues on which the political struggle is to take place.— Times. ROYAL SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS. On Wednesday the third grand fl ewer show this season of the Royal South London Floricultural Society took place at the Surrey Gardens.

SPOHIL—Ifhis eminent composer arrived in London on Tuesday, and is now superintending the rehearsals of his great 4vdrk of Faust, which is about to be produced at the Royal Italian Opera. of our continental relations—a man who manifests day by day his sympathy with the despots who are ranged on one side in this great controversy—every move ment of foreign tyranny becomes of vital importance to us in relation to our own libeitties. Already our honour has been put up to auction in the streets of Florence. Already we have been insulted by the production in our Perlialnent of the proposed French. Extradition Bill, by which Lord Malmosbury showed has willingness to lit England be made the cats-paw of the French usurper in , recovering obnoxious French citizens. The resistance of our Peers had some substance in it, but too much smooth ness for such times. However, the Bill is withdrawn " for the present," and we must be on the watch for its rein troduction. More serious still is our relation to the French Government with regard to the liberty of our press. With this Lord Malrnesbury has, thus Aar, had no con cern, as far as is known, but that which he shares with the members of the late Government—that of censuring the out-speaking of cur press about the conduct of the dictator who is crushing Feaace. But can he be depended on for upholding our liberty of speech in the conflict which Louis Napoleon has thought fit to begin? If Lord John Russell and Earl Grey exposed themselves to rebuke six mouths ago for their low tone about the action of the press, is it to be expected that a Melmeshury will take a higher stand after a six months' confirmation of the usurper's power? The representative of England in Paris has thus far done well. Lord Cowley ratted like a true Englishosal on the spot, and deserves all commendation; and we must look to it that he is not embarrassed by the head of his department acting like a French man at home. We shall presently be without a Parliament. There will be an interval long or short, during which Lord Malmesbury may do au infinity of mischief, if ho be not given to understand distinctly that the people of England will not be trifled with during this interval; that they have no sympathy with foreign despots, whatever he may have, and that every misre presentation of English ideas and feelings of which he may be guilty, will be visited upon him as soon as their representatives meet again. The worst of it is that the man himself has no choice whether ho shall serve unfaith fully or not. It is not that ho is acting in one way while he is thinking in another—yielding to any supposed necessity against his own convictions—it is that his sympathies are, as far as ho has yet shown, with the ruling powers abroad;—that he does not under stand English liberties, nor share English feel ings, nor perceive the position that England will choose to hold in any coming struggle for freedom in Europe. The danger lies in the character of his mind. We cannot change that. The thing that we can do is to change the man. This it is that the people will look to, wnilo wo are without a Parliament. Lord Telalesesbury will be doing what he will in the Foreign office; the people must be doing what they will in the elections; and their will must be to put a true English man into Lord Malmesbury's place. There is a time coming—the time of the next European struggle—when our island may be—with all the sins and woes that lie within it—a sort of island of the blest in the midst of a hemisphere swept with storms; an open air, where men may still think, and say what they think, of virtue and vice, in high places and in low; a solitary kingdom where monarch and people may understand and love each ether; a lofty platform, where the national honour so shines amidst the surrounding gloom, that any sha dow allowed to pass over it would be an eclipse to the nations. If such a day should be coming, wo cannot look too soon to the soundness of our State, nor pro vide too vigilantly for its integrity. If ouch a day should come, we shall hardly choose to have a Malaies bury for the watchman on our tower. ADDITIONAL MATHER, PAPER. THE HON. P. C, SCARLETT TO THE EARL OF MALMESBURY. (Received June 19.) Florence, June 11, 1852. My Lord,—l have just read Mr. Mather's letter to your Lordship, published in the newspapers, in which ho alleges that the suggestion of a money compensation camp from the Legation. Such a suggestion was never made by me or by my authority, or with my knowledge or consent, nor have I any reason to believe that any suggestion of the sort was made_ by any person attached this whom opportunity it was a d o e t ,. r i e f m it a r w k a i s n g m . to or connected with the Legation, nor do I know by ad t e b . at l it be a g pp a e l a s r o s t b o y ta m k y e dispatches, that Mr. Mather, in the presence of two gen tlemen whom I sent to him, Lord Frederic Kerr and Sir John Orde, declined to receive any apology. It is certain that the officer who struck Mr. Ma ther with his sword was ready, in consequence of my re quest made to the Austrian Envoy, with the sanction and by the command of the Commander-in - Chief of the Austrian army, Prince de Lichetnstein, to express his regret at having done so, whilst under the apprehension that Mr. Mather intended to assault him. Your Lordship will also remember that the officer with whom Prince de Lichtenstein considered the fray to have begun, and who first struck Mr. Mather, was punished by b e ing put under arrest and strongly reprimanded. The private honour of Mr. Mather, which was in some degree identified with that of the public, would thus have received the fullest atonement that any gentleman could require. It was in consequence of Mr. Mather's repudiation of all apology that I called for an inquiry, which I understood to be Mr. Mather's expressed desire to the English gentlemen above-mentioned. This course I thought expedient, upon the further ground that be sides bringing to light what really haepened in the scuffle, it would give time to the British Government to consider the proper course to be pursued. I did all I could to forward the inquiry, and I also recommended an advocate of the highest reputation, and offered, in my public capacity, to defray the expense of the proceeding. I take upon myself the entire respon sibility of accepting 1,000 francesconi by way of da mages. My reasons for thus deviating from your Lordship's instructions, by which I was to obtain at least 500/., are that having repeatedly demanded this latter sum I Was unable to obtain any more than 1,000 Francesconi, which was at length offered by the Tuscan Government. If I had persisted ire demanding more it is certain that they would have persisted in their pro testcircumstances of the Tuscan Government, I felt that her doubt against all liability; and under the present peculiar btat 9 n f ed ul a y larger Mejesty's Government could not, coneistently with ge nerosity end justice and the truth of the facts, insist on her as era independent power. If I am mistaken in this view, I can only express my regret that I did not leave this matter to be settled by another hand; but I whetherhope I m a a n y y be negotiator forgiven t compensation in the shape of money from the Tuscan Government without very serious extremities.

GERM AN Y. The agitation against the order of Freemasons, which is supported by the Government in Saxony, appears to be beginning in Prussia, though it his not yet found any official countenance. The Saxon pamphlets, denouncing the whole order as revolu tionary and irreligious, have been enclosed anony mously to some of the members of the Cabinet. In Prussia the Freemasons have members among the highest ranks, and it is asserted that the influence of the order here has been decidedly Conservative. The subject will, perhaps, be taken up with some degree of -zeal, for the want of any other question of contro versy, the dearth of matter of political interest being extreme. PROPOSED CENTRAL CITY TERMINUS. On Wednesday evening Mr. C. Pearson delitered the first of "two familiar lectures" on his proposed people's highway and Central City Teroainus, at the London Me chanics' Institution, South amptou- buildings, Chancery lene. Mr. Pearson commenced his lecture by observing that he had long felt the necessity of equalizing the means of communication between the great highways of the metropolis. The city of London might be called the centre of a large circle, and it could not be doubted that as the passengers by the thoroughfares which led to that centre increased, so would increase the crowded state of the streets. Great and important changes had taken place of late years in the political and moral and social influences of our country; and ho was so fully im pressed• with this fact, that ha had reflected on the manner in which, by reason of these changes, he could employ the remainder 'of his days in being useful to his generation. Now, amongst the evils he desired to remedy was the overcrowded state of the streets by day; but there was another consideration of paramount import ance, viz., the fatal and fearful—he would not say the overcrowding, nor even the overcramming, but the over crushing of the dwellings of the poor by night. He had the honour to serve the Corporation of the city of London. It was the most wealthy city of the most wealthy country in the world, and he might inform his auditors that in a large portion of the City the land was valued for building purposes at from 50,0001. to 250,0004 per square acre. Why was this? Because the City of London was the ".habitat" of the great commercial and monetary estibliehnients of the country, mad they would find that the importance and value of property were more particularly felt in the great arterial channels of circulation. The sanitary improvements and reforms which had lately been effected had been of absorbing interest to the country, but the public mind had not yet been roused to the necessity of sowing those seeds of improvement which must prove of the highest utility to the nation. It was admitted that the habi tations of the poor were overcrowded; but he had ex amined the d ecenn i a l census w hi c h h a d l ate ly appeared. and he had found, upon comparing the population w th the houses throughout the country, that the houses had been slightly gaining upon the population, whereas, in the metropolis the reverse had taken place—there the population had been (gaining upon the number of houses. Ia the city sof London the population had increased 33 per cent. as compared with the houses, and the rate of mortality had increased in the same ratio in those localities where over crowding was known to exist. He had obtained the returns from the Inland Revenue Office 'during the last 15 years, and he found from these returns that the ever crowding of the streets had increased 10 per cent. per annum—that was to say,lso per cent. in 15 years. W hat were the causes of this? The people of England, since railways came into fashion, had changed their character and habits. Those inhtibitants of the metropolis who were formerly stationary were now locomotive, and the same observation applied to residents in the country, masses of whom now visited London who never attempted the journey before. His object in the project now before them was to supply a remedy for those defects which the over crowded state of the metropolis (owing to the causes he alluded to) had produced, and this he proposed to do by converting a site which was now wholly unproductive into a source of benefit and profit. His project was to bring into Farringdon-street by a trunk railway all the great northern lines that might choose to come there, and then to establish one grand centre of communication between the City of London and some of the most important towns in England. This would, doubt less, involve the necessity of removing a certain amount of property, but it must be borne in mind that it was property of a very inferior kind, and the Government had already advanced to the Corporation various sums of money to clear the roads and improve the thoroughfare. He proposed to nuke a street one hundred feet wide from Holborn valley to the Cale donian-road, and thus to afford to the people the mea ns of breathing freely and relieving • them selves from the noxious influences of an overcrowded condition. It the railways he had mentioned did not see fit to aid him in the undertaking, he could do with out them, for be was quite satisfied that there was a larger amount of profit to be made out of the scheme without any connexion with railways than from any project which had been started during his recollection, if the public would only support him.—Mr. Pearson proceeded to point out the many advantages that must accrue from the successful accomplish ment of his object, and illustrated by means of models, maps, and diagrams, the practical• manner in which his project might be carried out with infinite advantage to the public. The lecture was listened to with much at tention, and was received with considerable applause.
