FROM THE MOR.NING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIMES.—Lord Derby's declarations are becoming so numerous that we have given no counting them, in the same despair as the young lady in Juvenal who was obliged to take breath three times in the enumeration of her mother's lovers. To be always doing the same thing over and over again never with effect is the clas sical idea of punishment, and men who have been as wily as Sisyphus, and as false to their vows as the Danaids cannot reasonably complain of a similar expiation of a similar fault. Yet who would not rather roll stones, ay, or break them, rather than undergo the periodical humi liation to which the head of our chivalrous Administra- tion is forced to submit? Or what is filling a sieve compared with the craving demands of Protec tionist supporters, who will not remit to their leaders one atom of the depredation attending contact with their' worthless cause, but require fresh assurances of their fidelity even at the very moment when they are most convinced of their desertion? They know that they shall _never get it, but they like to be talked to about pro teeticin, just as a superannuated beauty likes to be com .plimented on those charms which her mirror assures her have long since departed. If Lord Derby were not to entirely the cause of his own misfortunes, it would really be pitiable to see him carsed with a'cause which he OPpot support and dares not disavow; seeking to conciliate the country by annexing impossible conditions to a return to protectibn, and his own supporters by pro fessions of unshaken conviction of the beauties of scarcity. There is, however, a keeping and fitness in all this. Such a chief is every way worthy of the party which sup poets him, and of the press ever ready to pour forth fulsome panegyrics on him, or causeless vituperation on his opponents. The cruel struggle to keep up rents. under false pretences, to shift yet a little longer the bur den occasioned by reduced prices from the shoulders of the landlord to those of the farmer, is well represented by statesmen whose principles are to be sought in their professions, and not in their actions, who have aban doned one policy without adopting another, and are as unable to deal with the future as to extricate themselves from the embarrassments of the past. One really would think, to read the speeches of Lord Derby, that plainness and fair dealing had fled to the woods, and left the populous abodes of man to be the haunts of insincerity and duplicity. We, the once downright straightforward English nation, have come to this pass—that we are governed by men utterly incapable of expressing their meaning or policy in a single speech; who give us no other clue to their intentions than the endless task of reconciling contradictions, or speculating on which word of a sentence the emphasis is to be laid; who will take back to-morrow what they have conceded to-day; unsay in the hot fir what they have said in the cold, and recant with the same facility , with which they assert. We can not but regard such a spectacle as deeply humiliating to the pride and discreditable to the character of the na tion. We have never before had a Ministry about to take the opinion of the country on its personal merits alone, without identifying itself with a single principle or connecting its existence with a single definite mea sure. Whether the majority of the next Par liament shall be for or against protection, for or against Maynooth, or any other measure, Lord Derby is prepared to submit to the majority. To him that majority is not the means of forming an opi nion, it is the opinion itself. To it be delegates all those mental operations which ordinary men are in the habit of performing for themselves. He asks no better than to be the instrument of its decisions, and, whether those decisions be for good or evil, he is equally ready, as long as he is permitted, to execute them. Compared with such a state of things as this, Eidonism itself is desirable. Any principle steadily believed in and vi gorously carried out is better than the cupid mortuum, which contains nothing but the dregs of worn-out no tions, the sap and vigour of which have long since eva porated. The supporters of Lord Derby do well to enlist themselves under that- name, for their leader has left them no other badge of distinction. Honest Pro tectionists can see little to admire in a leader whom not even victory itself will induce to carry their principles into effect. Honest Free-traders can have as little confidence in a Government which denies the principle to which it is forced to render homage, and, while rowing towards free trade, fixes its longing eyes on the gradually reced ing outline of its lost and loved monopoly. These things might have been far otherwise: Lord Derby cannot, in deed, undo {the cruel and selfish delusion of the last six years, but it was open to him either to foil with dignity or to yield with grace. He might ,have stood true to his colours, and, though with little chance of ' success, have fought his desperate cause to the utmost, and buried himself under the rains of his party, if not of the con stitution. Such a danger—the danger of being called upon to realize his fervid professions and fiery exhorta tions, must have been foreseen by him during the whole of his career, and the sequel, be it what it might, could scarcely be more wild and reckless than the antece dents. He might, on the other hand, have avowed his convictions that the thing was impossible, and disclaim ing any intention of tampering with the existing com mercial policy, have engaged honourably and fairly to oarry it out. A concession of the whole principle at once would have been made at a less expense of character than the gradual haggling by which item after item of the exploded system is in turn given up. First it is the navigation-laws, the restoration of which, notwithstanding Mr. flerries, is declared to be impossi ble, while hopes are still expressed of squeezing some thing oat of corn. Next the landed interest is thrown overboard into the same abyss of competition as her sister of the sea. But here the destroyer is to stop. Lord Derby will take Sir H ibert Peel's policy, bat not a step further. Sir Fitzroy Kelly can only go as far as 1845. Lord Derby has got up the subject as far as June, 1846. but there he is deserted by the authority of Sir Robert Peel, whom in that month his party ex pelled from office. The present stand is in favour of sugar, and Exeter-hall is invoked to aid it. This also, we suppose, will be yielded in its turn, and then Government, having conceded one by one all the improvements of the past, will have nothing left but to prevent improvement for the future, and carry into our commercial legislation the same narrow spirit which actuated the Lord Chancellor last' night in his opposition to the enfranchisement of copyholde. The day is past when anything Lord Derby can say would do much either for good or evil. People are tired of promises sure to be qualified, and announce ments certain to be contradicted. The country will re ceive with indifference Lord Derby's concessions with regard to the principles of free trade; and his own sup. porters attach little weight to what he may say on the side of protection. Both sides are fairly nauseated with the ever-recurring farce, and seem to be becoming im patient for its termination. The more enlightened part of the Conservative party are day by doy moreestranged from the Government, whose paltry subterfuges end dangerous principles tend to make the preservation of authority more difficult, and to expose public men to merited contempt. We have always recommendei fair play to the present Ministry, that they might extricate themselves from protection, but were certainly not pre pallet to see the object attained at such an enormous ex penditure of personal character, and are almost tempted to wish, for the sake of public morality, that the mat ter had been brought to issue at once, without subject ing even our most heretic statesmen to the periodical degradation of which Lord Derby has drunk to the very dregs. HERALD.—We believe • it to be of vast importance that the Protectionist party throughout the country should fully and clearly understand the exact position in which the question of protection to British industry now stands. Atter all the mystification which has been, -and er, doubt will bo still attempted, after all tho premature triumphs of our opponents, we do not hesitate to Pay, that—as thorough, sincere, and uncompromising Pro tectionisto—our earnest wish is that our friends through out the country should accept the speech of the Earl of Darby on Monday night in the House of Lords as the clearest, plainest, and most faithful statement of the true position which we now occupy. Nothing,letus.say, can be more candid, more explicit, or, let us add, more con sistent, than the statement of the Noble Earl at the head of her Majesty's Government. Two years ago Lord Derby stated that his own opinion on the subject of protection had undergone no change, but that the question rested with the constituencies of the empire. On assuming the office to which duty to hi s Sovereign called him in March last, he re iterated the same statement, and on Monday night in the House of Lords he repeated in substance the same. On Monday night the Opposition determined to take the Noble Lord.by surprise. •• It was manifest to every observer that their object was to goad, by taunts, by in vectie, by sneers, the Prime Minister into some decla ration that possibly might be considered rash. They seized an opportunity when the Ministerial benches were deserted —when they found the Noble Lord almost alone. No unworthy art was spared—no malignant insinuation was avoided. The object of the plot was defeated—de feated by the manliness, the simplicity, the straightfor ward integrity of the Noble Lord at whom their artifices were aimed. Stung, indeed, by their unworthy attacks, but preserving both his self-possession and his dignity, Lord Derby indignantly repelled the misrh p a e t the imresentations tpo of those woo repre sented him as saying sitiou of a duty on corn was a matter of necessity. The words of the Noble Lord are wo worthy y to be pon dered and weig hed by every friend agricultural interest:— " The Earl of DERBY—Tho Noble Earl is q u it e • w rong in supposing that I said a duty on foreign corn was a matter of necessity. I stated, that Er the pur pose at once of relieving the suffering agricultural the in terest, and alio for the purpose ve nue, and ther eb y of improving re enabling us to take off other taxes, without injury to the consumer, I thought it might ho desirable to impose a moderate fixed duty on foreign corn. I distinctly stated that that was my ess m opi nion. I did not say that it was a matter of necessity, but I stated that, whether the relief should be given by t h e imposition of a duty , ou foreign. corn was u matter which rested upon the judgment of the constituencies, but that I thought that vi as a desirable mode of affording relief to the a g ricultural classes. I hold to that o p inion still; but I state again that that is a questionwhich must be left to the constituencies of the country; and, more over, if it give any satisfaction to the Noble Earl, and to the Noble Lords opposite, my opini on is, ion from what I have since heard and learned, there cert ainly will not be in f a vour of the re-imposition Q f duty on foreign GLAMORGINSIIIRE.

That statement is not new. It was made in opposition—it was made on accepting office. We think no true friend of the agricultural interest should ask for more. But be this opinion right or wrong, we have known for the last two years exactly what we i have to expect from Lord Derby. We were not to find in him a minister who would stake his existence, as a minister, upon the re-imposition of a duty on corn. He never said that this was a measure of such necessity as to justify a public man in declining office .unless he could carry it. But he did say then, and he says so still, that his own individual opinion is in favour of it, — nay, more, he says that he is ready to advise Parlia ment and the Sovereign to adopt it, if the next general election shall return such a ma jority of Protectionists as will justify that course. It is quite true—let our enemies make the most of it—that he-added that he now believed that there would not be . such a. majority. Well; this is a matter of individual opinion. If it ,be an , error incal culatioo, it implies no unfaithfulness. The greedy haste with which the Opposition eels 11 upon the statement proves nothing but the terror which in their heart of hearts haunts them of the protective system which they profess to believe dead. - It was, perhaps, well for the country' that their misrepresentations again called up the Noble Earl. Words cannot be clearer, more ex plicit, nor, we repeat, declaration more explicit than that which their ill-timed boasting elicited from the Pre mier:— " When the Noble Marquis opposite says that I have abandoned all wish or intention to make such a propcei tion, Z must take the liberty of saying that the Noble Marquis has gone one step too far.—( Hear, hear.) I have said that I wU,Lnotiabtriit the_ without tafititt majority. I have intimated that we are not likely to have such a majority, as far as I can judge from pre sent appearances. But if the sense of the people be different from what I anticipate, then I hold to my former opinion—namely, that there is no other mode in dealing with the finances of the country so ad vantageous for providing for the exigencies of the coun try as that which I have so often enunciated. Bat, my Lords, the Noble Earl said (addressing me), Having abandoned all idea of at any time re-imposing a duty on corn, will you not go a step further, and declare you will do nothing whatever for the purpose of what some Noble Lords please to call tampering' with the existing sys tem?' Now, my Lords, if the Noble Earl means to ask me whether, as Minister—if I am unable to afford relief to the suffering agricultural interests one way (in the way in which I believe it can be most advantageously afforded), I can therefore propose to abandon them altogether, and seek no other mode of relieving them— my Lords, not only have I not said that, not only will I not say that, but it is the very opposite of what I have said, and which I will repeat now. I declare, whatever may be the 'consequence as to the support or oppo sition of Right Hon. Gentlemen or Noble Lords, here or elsewhere, that it is the purpose of the Govern ment to seek to afford a just and equitable relief to those classes, who, even if for the benefit of the community at large, have been made victims and sufferers. And I believe that in the English people there is such a sense of justice that they will not see one class, or two or three classes, deprived of advantages which they have hitherto enjoyed. I say, therefore, my Lords, distinctly, that it is my intention, and it is the wish of the Govern ment and the determination of the Government, to direct their attention to the best mode they can.devise of re lieving those suffering interests. The extent of the nature of that relief may not be within our command or control, but to the affording that relief, and at the same time with full justice to all classes of the community I declare now, and I have declared before, the attentioa tof. of the Government will be directed; and we shall hold it to be our paramount duty, in some shape or other, to' afford that relief to those classes who have been suffer ing for the good, if it be for the good, of the rest of the community." . We have quoted this passage at length, because we believe it puts our true position fairly, clearly, and un mistakeably. We have now a Minister in office who does not consider the re-imposition of a duty on corn a matter of such necessity as to oblige him to stake the existence of his Ministry upon it. But who believes that duty ought to be reimposed, and is therefore ready and willing to propose it if the persons who agree with him in the country will give him a majority in the new Parliament that will justify it. But, if such a declara tion of the opinion of the country be not made, then he is pledged to this, that in some otber mode he will still attempt to alleviate the injustice that is now done to the agricultural interest. We protest we conceive this declaration is all that the most ardent friend of the agricultural interest can ever either expect or desire. Saying en, of course we imply that it is utterly false to represent the Noble Earl as having, by this statement, abandoned, retracted, or qualified his opinions on the subject of protection ; and with this brief explanation we confidently submit the matter to the calm judgment and common sense of Englishmen. CHRONL.:LE.—We have not the heart to inflict a homily on our readers, considering the circumstances under which many of them will peruse these lines. The Derby day is hardly the occasion for discanting on fashionable dissipation, or for lecturing London on the profanity of amusements. An anthem in a ball-room would be scarcely less incongruous: We once fell in with the book of a choice Amerioan divine who had the weakn ess o r audacity to tell th e worl d in print that he found himself by acc ident —"quite promiscuous -like" —at Epsom on the Darby day. His Transatlantic re verence, who had gone down, as he assures us, to hold evangelical intercourse with a serious and pious brother —one Mr. (or was it Mrs.?) Harris, residing at Epsom —avers that he never learned the day and occasion which he 'had fixed upon for this purely professional journey, until he discovered himself on the downs. So we find it Glimpses of the Old World." written in Dr. Clark's Nevertheless, though the doctor inveighs against the races as befits a writer of the strattest sect, he gives a very graphic account of them lingering over the sinful scene with liquorish satisfaction which we do not wish to imitate. We are not going to quarrel with the glories of Epsom on the Derby Day. The race, however, is the least part of the attraction to most of those who will this morning tread the breezy Surrey heath. It is the chosen holiday of half London—the day of family par ties, of alfresco dinners, of flirting and fatigue, of bad jokes and worse champagne. We have no desire to be severe upon it. Nor do we care to look . too austerely at the conventional characteritic of the Derby. The lob ster salads and the lung-necked b )ttles aro not more iuscparahle from the affair than gambling, in some form or other, down to the customary bet of a pair of gloves. We propose not to interfere with Jovin's spring profits. But a great horse-race is much more than this. EP' som, Ascot, the Chester Cup, and the St. Leger present a far more serious aspect than the gaiety, the festivit y, and the frolic of the long summer h o liday. Th e s e things too dam Ede an amount of robbery, dishonesitl, ity, crime, and sorrow, which is daily is en the crease, and to which we are f orce d the oldest attention.

Within a circle of a quarter of a mile radius 3' f o o ownnffide, we enumerated, yesterday afternoon, r th m e Z a l r - Oxford lowing betting-offices:—ln the Strand, between St . Mary's Church and Temple-bar, 4; 1; in. Catherine-street, 1; in Bow-street, 2; in Endell: street, 2; in Great Russell-street, 4; in New street, 4; .in Bloomsbury-street, 1; in St. Giles's, 2; in Great Queen-street, 1; in Long-acre, 3; in St. Martin's-lane, 1 ; and in Chandos-street e 2. We confined our examination to these streets; At the dinner hour yesterday, every ono of these planes was crowded, not only by specimens of the low, greasy, tat tered, professional gambler class, but by clerks bearing bags, sober-seeming mechanics shouldering their tools, shopmen, errand-boys, and tidy tradesmen. The statistics of this sort of betting may be further illus., trated as follows :—A betting price-current, the Odds, is published daily in time for post; the Racing Times claims a circulation of 16,000 weekly, at 3d.; and the Penny Racing Times is not likely to be behind it. We are informed by a credible person, who himself keeps one of these houses, that, after the races, nine out of ten of them will be closed; and that vast numbers of de luded victims who have already staked and paid their money, will find on Friday morning, the office shut, and the office-keeper a " 'minter " with all lris receipts. Add to all this the facilities given by tel. graphic com munication for " cooking" or falsifying the odds—add ' also the very refined and elaborate calculations which are _necessary to enable even a professional " turfite" to " make a safe book" and the chances against the artizan and mechanic, even supposing the thing to be fairly conducted, may be in some degree estimated. The police reports and the bankruptcy courts tell • the tearful sequel. Pilfering, caste. zzlement, the ruin of ap prentices and shop boys, domestic misery, the prison van, and the hulks—these are the certain results of bet- - ling hou:es. Tnis evil is so enormous, and so largely on the increase, that it is absolutely necessary to call 'attention to its extent and magnitude. It infeets a class of eociety whose honesty is everybody's concern. Po- . metal() servants, youths, shop assistants, collecting olerks - -these are the classes which betting houses entrap.

This sugge st i on , as might t t h is s local sup posed, was very cordially received, and certainly deserves support. de support. Several petitions have been presented t o the Legislature on the subject, and these we published yes terday not only to show what has been already done, ' but to point out the way which others should follow. The Mechanics' Institute at Gateshead, the Cheltenham ' Literary and Philosophical Institution, the Derby Mechaa nits' Institution, the Macclesfield Society for the Ac quirement of Useful Knowledge, the Literary and Scien tific Institution in Tiverton have petitioned thejlouse of Commons to supply them with these sessional papers and Acts of Parliament free of expense. The Gateshead petitioners intimate their willingness to have all such documents thrown open to the in spection of resident nonmembers free of expense. With respect to Acts of Parliament, it may be remarked that one great difficulty in modern English legislation is to devise efficient means of promulgating new laws. Nemini licet ignorari is the maxim of the law courts when any luckless Wight pleads ignorance of any special law; but how is any man to acquire a knowledge of all the multiform statutes that are annually hatched by Parlia ment? It is vain to think of having these bulky and innumerable documents proclaimed, as in simpler times, by beat of drum at the market cross, or stuck up on the c,leurchelpor; how are Englishmen to be informed of what t t hey are held bound under penalti es t o d o or eh in z , froin? . The Legislature culpably neglects its daty,:aodni as it takes no measures to have all English men testae cognisant of all laws. An important step williaerteken. towards this desirable end, by adopting measures enabling all Englishmen to read with intelli gence and plainly all new laws within their reach. For this the establishment of elementary secular schools in every district of moderate extent is one requisite, but not of itself sufficient. The encouragement of local free libraries is necessary to enable men to turn to practical account the art of reading acquired in elementary schools. And wherever such local free libraries aro established, there ought Acts of Parliament to be sent, for deposit and preservation, in order that the general public may have access to know their contents. The sessional papers of Parliament are only second in import ance to its acts. Absurd, redundant, and often silly though these documents be, they contain an immense quantity of valuable information, that is nowhere else to be found. The mass of the population—even of the more easy and wealthy classes—have not only no means of ob taining access to these sources of information, but to means of learning what they contain. To enable the public to form a sound judgment on the great political and econo mical questions now at issue, it is indispensable that they should at least have in their power to learn what the sessional papers contain, and to consult them occa sionally. With proper precaution and judicious selec tion, compliance with the petitions of the institutions above alluded to, might be made instrumental in pro moting the great objects of national education, and a sufficient promulgation of the laws. Let copies of the sessional papers and Acts of Parliament be transmitted, free of expense, to every such institution as is favour ably situated for being the centre of a district, and has taken Efficient measures t o establish, in connexion w ith it, a local free library. These institutions would thus be rendered accessible local public archives, and schools for the study of contemporary history and practical politics. The object cL ntemplated by these peti tioners is intimately c onnected with the movemen t hich aims at inducing the Commissioners for the In dustrial Exhibition to redistribute the contributions to the Exhbion guarantee fund, for the purpose of f u nd applied in aid of the establishsnent of local ins that tree libraries and mus eums. Of the five places fr om which the petitions na med ha ve_ been - forw arded, four have contributed to this g uarantee fund. T he value and of local free libraries would be materially in creased by their being utility made p laces for the dep os i t and preservation of the sessional p a p ers and Acts of Parliament for the inspection of the general public-, ' thus been invested w ith kin d of offieial and having Government character, Parliament and the h. would ac quire a right to watch . over t eir f . proceeriings, and insist that the public were airly dealt with. The important step recently taken by the S oc i ety of Arts enhances the practical importance of these considerations at the present moment. An us z ganaed has been e ff ected between Cue sneifq union .y and n-arly two hundred local literary and scientific i n .,: : "Of the particular modes hi which the . • b,,tutiois. lusty utes to take advantsge of the union to brou ght- pro pose serves the Atienceum of lest &turd about ob the opi nion of the delega:ts appeared to be, l) general airers should be tormed, with the ' that a corps of lie of lectures partaking somewhat of view to giving courses classes—that the institutions h the nature of college such books us they wish to sould make out lists of obtain, in order that ex changes may be effected betwee n o3ent, made with publishers l l themselves, and arrange ment: a large Alan _ ..i f ort reduction of price on ex pensive Looks `s and i n " s Y tru t t l at a eirculetine Lbrary of In:l'as should be formed—tha a moveable exhibition of inventions and improvements in machinery and rn I . l eutactutes should be got toge ther—and that the --- flle of men great attaunnants should be sought in establ eh' of g .a circuits with tae object of giving great er educational eedluacsasetisoinal scope and power to the inatitutio g " r spiri t a pp ears to be at al.
