AUGUST 20, 1852. ------ It cannot be repeated too often, that upon the can dcur with which her MAJESTY'S Ministers recognise the necessities of the times are dependent their con tinuance in office and the consolidation of the exist ing Government. Hitherto the country has had no opportunity whatever of estimating the intentions of thy; Cabinet so far as to conjecture with any deg ree of accuracy the nature of the policy about to be adven ..uroi u p on by the .._ u Administration. For the disclo sure of their vi ews we have all of . us been anxi ousiv i o ,k in "Until nowi g forward ever since last February. those of ptmras y ti ithout any other results, save ation and disappointment. Mag nanimitysession to prom p te dalloy the us during the last Parliamentary van eultie s of its the difficulties peacefully to " bide its time" until in some measure position had been any deliberate and Ituotheci. It was felt that before could be reasonably revelation of the Ministerial policy i demanded from the Earl of DERBY and his colleagu es, they should be first of all permitted to make a cou ntry, so as to enable them to appeal to the to submit their pr o posed pla ns to th e considerati on of new Parliament. Well —that Parliament a t b ee n no w formally elected — and What wise r has i nation at this m oment than it was six mo nths a as s the to the policy o f the DERBY Government? It has IT,ry,t, of course, t hat the Cabinet has expressl y a bi l Boned the enforcement upon the L lislature o f the obsolete principles of Pzotection. But it knew l ong ago that such must inevitably b 3 the case—it counted upon that change, and wiiely, with implicit con& deuce. Beyond this it knoWs for ci:rtain—absolutely nothing. It• can only reason in the matter upon simple probabilities. Accdrcling to the natural deductions thu s ' capable of lo.nng drawil— 1 appears likely that the Cabinet will be in favour of a variety of important reforms long and fervently desired by the population. Legal reforms, indeed, have been explicitly promised by th, Government. Sanitary reforms have been hinted at. Fiscal reforms have been shown to be already "looming • m ', the fut ure, ' according to the now well-known phrase of the CHANCELLOR of the ExcueQuza. Fur- ther than this, the people have been left only to conjecture. In several instances it is true that, notwithstanding the obdurate silence of the Cabinet, the more discerning speculators in the future may count with something like certainty upon the unfolding of other projects by the present Minis try consonant with the spirit of the age and compa tible with the wishes of the general community. Yet still, in all this, however plausible may be the aspect of likelihood, nothing more in the matter is left to the country than the most unsatisfactorily vague anticipa tions. Besides the reforms already specified as of a legal, a fiscal, and a sanitary character—the best that can be said of any other is that such and such a thing is " probable." Surely this dubious position of affairs has been quite long enough protracted Surely its further continuance at indefinite intervals is precisely the very thing calculated to give rise to the most disastrous consequences ! And what pee sible good result we should like to know CITA be expected from these perpetual delays either to the Ministers themselves or to their supporters in the new Parliament ? So far from the circumstance referred to being favourable in an y way to the Government, it is, perhsp, of all, the most effectual means of marring the Ministerial hopes of the mem bers of Lord DERBY'S Administration. If continued much longer, it must necessarily diminish even thei r restricted popularity. Everybody seems to be per fectly aware of this except her MAJESTY'S Ministers themselves ! After tantalizing the community by a series of the most agonizing procrastinations, they have again deferred meeting the newly-elected repre sentatives until a period in the ensuing autumn when the year will be too fur advanced for any lengthened or satisfactory explanation. October must have almost elapsed before the Rouse of Commons can have assembled in West minster, to hear from the Right Honourable the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER that the Cabinet will " positively for the last time "—like a sort of Ministerial Crummles— delay the disclosure of their intended policy until the spring of 1853 has again brought the Im perial Legislators together for the dispatch of busi neB3. The public were heartily tired of this four or five weeks since. They have come at last to regard it as simply in tolerable. Will the Earl of DERBY recognise the truth of this assertion and the peril of this system, before its continuance has placed the difficulty of the task entrusted to his Government beyond the reach of reparation ? Unless some change be very speedily manifested in this particular by the leaders of the Administration, the days of the new Cabinet must be regarded as already numbered. The public will not consent to witness with in difference the dilatory proceedings by which the present occupants of office appear to be guarding themselves against the dangers of a legislative en counter with their political antagonists. There is an old story, familiar enough in itself to be only hinted at to be understood, about the ostrich hiding its head in the sand by way of secur ing its effectual concealment. Has no ostrich wan dered into Downing-street? Westminster is just now in all conscience sufficiently a wilderness! And, although the luxury of a " tenpenny nail" cannot possibly be found very easily in the vicinity of St. Margaret's—abund ance may be readily discovered in the shape of " tax: , Whatever Ministers may think about the convenience of delays, they will find rather earlier than they expect the mistake of these postpone ments. England cannot submit much longer to be committed to these amusing evasions on the part of her more remarkable statesmen. The Cabinet certain of best securing her sympathies and com manding ber confidence would be a Cabinet manfully outspoken, not one cruelly and pertinaciously taci turn. The people of these islands like, if possible, to know what are really the sentiments by which their rulers are actuated. They become naturally suspicious of men who avoid, by every imagi nable device, the necessity of expounding their political doctrines to the community. A Ministry acting thus without intermission " is safe" to acquire an unenviably sinister reputation. Will the DERBY Administration consent to dwindle to that insignificance ? It commenced its existence with a bearing eminently chivalrous. Its distinguished leader spoke as became a STANLEY in February. Since which time the Earl of DERBY appears to have lapsed into asilence as profound as that of the ruined Oracle of Delphos. Until the general election had been completed there was every reason for this delay of Ministerial explanations. Now that the full complement of representatives has been returned to that remarkable vessel of the State H.M.S. the Lower House of Parliament, there remains no longer any sort of excuse for the permanence of this " silent system" by the Noble Earl at the head of the Govern ment. Let him meke a clean breast of it, and receive —if he can—the national absolution. The Town Council of Leeds, at their last sitting, opened a very important question, namely, that of commercial law consolidation. It bad previously re ceived the notice of the Leeds Chamber of Commerce, by whom, indeed, the co-operation of the Municipal Council was solicited. Sir GEORGE GOODMAN (lately Mayor of Leeds, and now Alderman and M.P. for the borough), opened the question by reading communications addressed to the Mayor by the Earl of HARROWDY and others, on the subject of the amendment and consolidation of commercial law, it being important that the commercial laws of England, Ireland, and Scotland, should be made to assimilate. He con sidered that by simplifying and consolidating these laws, and by abrogating the present conflicting and, in some instances, extremely pernicious laws, in regard to commercial matters, great benefit would be conferred on the community. Other members of the Council agreed with Sir GEORGE as to the importance of settling this question, upon which a conference is to be held in London, with the co-operation of the Earl of HAR ROwBY (creditably known, when representative of Li verpool,for his knowledge of commercial matters), and many leading merchants, traders, manufacturers, and said that Th e Town Clerk, in reply to a question, that he considered that the Chamber of Com merce, mind u a p n o d e tihte sio r t f s o o w f n ua C is ouncil, was the proper body to time should not merits.

They have unanimously resolved t hat they with their bead Chamber of Commerce pr p essing upon the consideration of Government the amend ment and consolidation of the commercial law of England, Ireland, and Scotland. The subject might he vastly extended —for why shauld not all the general laws of the United King dom be in operation in each part -of it ? Why should th e l ega l p roce d ure i n eac h country be dif rin•rent? Why s h ou ld wr itt en ev id ence be required evidencet of the civil suits in Scotland, while par Ole is properly receivedotthe in l t a h w e s E of u courtsg m lis a h rriage a nd of law?

" This is most tolerable and e not words to of b D e oenGdnuEraeady.,,, No one can know, except the mercantile and com mercial classes, what a vast extent of mischief arises from the difference between the commercial laws of England, Ireland, and Scotland. Pecuniary loss, great as it often is, may be estimated as the least of the annoyance. Even in the port of London, the Fellowship Porters have a monopoly which prevents the unloading and discharging of ships' cargoes, save by a favoured few. Other ports have equally absurd and expensive and annoying practices. But these are minor points. What we require is the entire amendment and consolidation of the commercial law of the United Kingdom. The w ay of obtaining this does not appear very difficult. The question must be extensively and publicly agi tated. There must Le meetings, and speeches, and resolutions. The Chambers of Commerce should have unity and industry of action upon it. The leading points of the question must be diffused through the press, is the plainest and most unmis takable manner. Funds must be supplied to cover expenses —hut the money part is that of which we have least apkeheusion. Members of Parlia ment must ,be seen, and solicited, and in terested in the matter. The Government, finally, must be communicated with, and in a manner which will show them the necessity, on the points of justice and expediency, of taking up the question with a view to its being fully and searchingly investigated. On a public topic like this, when strongly brought before them, the Government must become " squeez able." If the Chambers of Commerce are unanimous, and firm in proceeding with their " Agitation" herein, though " the Council's time should not be taken up with this question, Ministers and the Legislature cannot successfully resist or prevent the reform which is sought for. It is now a mere question of flagrant evil, involving numerous losses, and vexations and annoyances, and when such matters reach a certain bead they cannot longer be endured. It is a matter of time, but its finale is certain. THE FRENCiI REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. M. THIERS arrived in Paris on Tuesday. The Moniteur contains a decree from the PRES'. DENT of the Republic, promoting M. AUATUCCI, Minister of Justice, and M. BILLAULT, President of the Legislative Corps, to the rank of officers of the Legion of Honour. The Moniteur also contains a decree according to the St. Germaine Company permission to execute a railway from the St. Germaine terminus at Paris to Passey and Auteuil, ou the same conditions as have been already granted for the main line. A letter from Geneva announces that M. DE , Rnmuser, who was in Switzerland when he heard of the permission accorded him to return to France, at once set off for his estate in the Haute Garonne. The same letter announces that M. CHAMBOLLE was about to leave Vevey, where he has been residing, and re turn to France with his family. The Inter& Public of Caen states that on the occa sion of the fete of the 15th the PRINCE PRESIDENT has pardoned thirty prisoners confined in the prison at Beaulieu. The Archbishop of PARIS, who has left Paris on a Railway, journey into Germany, has taken the Strasburg and will, it is said, go through Holland, to Vienna, and return to France through Belgium. The PRINCE PRESIDENT, on the report of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, has just conferred the cross of chevalier in the Legion of Honour on the Maestro VERDI of Parma, the author of Ernani, the Foscari, and other operas. We read in the Emancipati on of Brussels —" The opening of the railway from Paris to Strasburg has been, as might reasonably be expected, the subject of serious comments among political men in Germany. A Berlin journal, the Wehr-Zeitung has just pub lished an article on the subject, which has, it is said, caused some sensati on among military men. Let it be remembered, says the article in question, what was the plan of campaign con ceived by NAPOLEON in 1800, and afterwards modi fied in different points by MOREAU. The left bank of the Rhine from Strasburg to Bille was to be the basis of operation of the army of invasion. Strasburg, in fact, will always remain the principal stronghold, and the point of support of the left wing of the army. ['his place is now only a few hours' distance from Paris. France may in a few days concentrate an army behind the Rhine, and all the resources of the the th se eser a e t rk m i a s k e nothing r n a e il w way in s remarks. If France can There country, troops, money, and provisions, are all near .--- to attack, Germany can also use them to defend. All the importance of these discussions is in the idea which might be attributed, if not to the two nations, at least to the Governments which preside over the destinies of France and Germany. So long as it is known that Germany is ready to repel with energy say army which should threaten her territory, an in vasion by Strasburg is not to be feared. Besides, the policy of France continues to be satisfactory." Government securities were more firm at the Bourse to-day than yesterday.

Two meetings have been held in Belgium relative to the non-renewal of the commercial treaty between France and Belgium. One, by the journeymen com positors, against the renewal of any treaty containing the condition of suppressing the right of re•imprea sion ; and the second, by the Belgian thread spinners at Ghent, strongly in favour of a commercial treaty between the two countries. GERMANY. The Cologne Gazette, under the date of Berlin, 16th, gives the following explanation of the adjourn ment of the Customs' Congress :—" The President of the Council arrived here yesterday afternoon, and in the evening had a conference with the Ministers of Commerce and Finance on the Commercial and Cus toms' question. It was decided that the re-opening of the Customs' conferences, which was to have taken place to-day, should be prorogued, and that at the request of several friendly Governments, principally Hanover. Immediately after his arrival, M. DE MANTEUFFEL read a letter which had been addressed to him by the Bavarian Plenipotentiary and by some other Ministers of the coalition of Darmstadt. In this letter they demanded a postponement of the re-opening of the Customs' Congress for some days, as they had not yet re ceived their instructions, and their request was agreed to. No period has been fixed for the resump tion of the deliberations, and if the New Prussian Ga zette fixes the re-opening for the 18th inst., it is a gra tuitous supposition. The Hanoverian Plenipoten tiary confined himself to supporting the demand with out fully uniting in it. A letter from Berlin, of the 16th, in the Cologne Gazette, says—" As was announced, the Catholic clergy did not agree to the request of the French Embassy to celebrate a divine service in commemo ration of the Emperor NAPOLEON. The clergy in this matter worthily appreciated the national senti ment. At the mass celebrated on the day of the Assumption in the church of Ste. Hedwige, prayers were put up for the dead and the Emperor NAPOLEON Was comprised among them. M. DE VARENNES and the personnel of the Embassy were present.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 10,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were taken for export, and 3,000 on speculation. The mar ket closed firmly, at the advance previously noticed this week. The sales comprised 8,500 American, 300 Per nam and Maranham, at 61d. to 7d.; 200 Bahia, at 6id. a to t 3 6 id. t d.; 300 04 E d. pgypetriaa_atßldw. tolb.—Railway 7d.; Sharesw and a s r o e o fir Surat, rather higher prices. In the Produce Markets this week the dealings have been to a moderate extent, and almost wholly for con sumption. The principal staples have supported about former rates, and Coffee has slightly tended upwards. Some Spices are rather lower, and Bice is not in so much request. Brandy has still a ready sale, and Cotton is taken more freely. Tallow has been steady. For Con gou Teas the demand has been kept up. Jute is held for high prices. Wool is firm. Tne necessity of devising new means to cheapen and facilitate the production of sugar in our West India possessions must be too well understood at this day to need much illustration or enforcement. What remains to be done, and what has been accomplished in other countries, it is. however, important to show. Both in Cuba and the United States, the owner or manager of a property, as we are informed, now employs for the crop an experienced sugar maker, who has the manufac turing process entirely and excl usively under his ma nagement and care. He is entitled to this situation from having established the character of being thoroughly acquainted with his business; he has generally some knowledge of chemistry—ho possesses the latest and most useful information of all the i m provements that have been discovered and recently known —the books and instruments required by a man who has made this m a nufacture his entire business, He gives the most un - remitting attention not only to the improved manufac ture, but to the prevention of the theft of the sugar made; he is not paid a salary, but Bo much per hogs head, generally ono dollar each hogshead, sent off the property. In the present uncertain state o f the sugar question the absentee proprietors and mortgagees will not invest further capital in any of the very many recent improve ments in machinery, &c., in the manufacture of sugar on their own properties. The resident proprietors of Jamaica, and some of the other colonies, should now look to the p r e sen t American system, which does net I. ` quire any capital to try, and deserves to have their earnest consideration. They must keep in mind that Barbadoes has lately doubled the crops the spirited planters formerly made; that last year, althou An gh the island is only the size of the parish of St. n, in Jamaica, with low natural advantages, they made the immense crop of 40,000 tons, a larger quantity than Jamaica made in 1850, and equal to tlte crop of 1851; that Trinidad last year also made a larger crop than the island ever produced, under even the very favourable times of slavery a nd English protect ion. There is an increas in g business doing in American Securities now the fishery dispute is considered to be settled. Owing to the recent altercation with the Chatham boatmen, the committee of Lloyd's have appointed an agent for the Kentish coast specially to look to the pro tection of shipwrecked property, a measure of undoubted utility, and calculated to save much angry feeling as well as pillage. - - A meeting of Portuguese Bondholders is convened for next Wednesday. The miserable neglect by the Go vernment at Lisbon of its obligations towards the foreign creditors demanded this public assemblage, though we b,lieve the Committee have not been idle hitherto. The Amsterdam Stock Market on the 18th inst. was very brisk for Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. Fo reign Securities were without alteration. Rather a large business has been done in Public' Se curities, and the quotations are very well maintained. Consols have been 99i to for Transfer, and 99i for Account. The Now Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. bring 1031 to -a. The Bank returns in this evening's Gazette will show a large increase in the bullion. The samples of Wheat shown in Mark-lane this morning from the west and' south of England are so bad tha they can scarcely be accepted as a fair crite rion, but still it is stoutly maintained that thousands of acres can be found as bad or oven wors e. This naturally causes anxiety , a nd although the rise in Wheat is not above Is., it would speedily be much greater if the statements made should be confirmed. Consols now are rather weaker at 99k. Bank Stook is firm at 2251 to 2261. Exchequer-bills realise 745. to 775. premium.

Somewhat increased supplies of English Wheat have arrived for oar markets this week, viz. 3,210 quarters , partly of the present year's growth, and in but middling condition. Fresh up to-day, by land-carriage, a few parcels came to hand, but the show of samples, of both red and white, was very moderate. Owing to the unfa vourable reports respecting the new crop, holders in ge neral were very firm, but the amount of business passing was by no means extensive. Really fine parcels were is per quarter dearer, and the value of other kinds was well supported. There was more doing for forward delivery. Upwards of 17,000 quarters of foreign Wheat have come in. For most descriptions we had a steady consumptive demand, at extreme curren cies. Floating cargoes were held for more money. The show of English Barley was trifling, that of foreign up wards of 6,000 quarters. The demand was far from active at late rates. Most kinds of new Malt were con sidered the turn higher. The Oat trade was in a sluggish state, owing to the largo imports, which amounted to 32,110 quarters. In the value of Beans, Peas, and Flour we have no change to notice. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK .
