Since our observations upon the very insulting manner of Sir HARRY SNIITII'S renal from the Cape by her MAJESTY'S Colonial Secretary, we are gra tified to observe that the matter has been taken up in a similar manner by the majority of our contempo raries. Reflection has served to convince others, be sides ourselves, that the proceeding in question was altogether, and in every way most unwarrantable— unwarrantable in the fact and in the mode of its announcement. Than the terms employed by Earl GREY in that memorable dispatch, datec the l4th of last January, in which he infsrmed Sir HARRY of his abrupt and ignom nious degradation, none could by possibility have been more intemperate or for that reason more removed beyond the limits of justification. Forgettiig, it would seem, the dignity of his Ministerial podtion, the Colonial Secretary appears, as far as we can judge from this disgraceful document, to have exulted in an opportunity of displaying his capacity as a censorial rhetorician. Printed as that dispatch is in extenso in the pages of the Parliamentary Blue Book just published (pp. 253-256), it must for ever remain against its author as a glaring witness of the fallibility of his judgment and of the intemperance of his language. What renders the matter in question yet more serious cause for regret, .s the circumstance that in the very same Blue Book there also appears (pp. 219, 220) a very remarkable com munication—a dispatch, dated the 18th of the pre ceding December, and addressed to Earl Gitlr by his Excellency the Cape Governor—relating to events which demonstrate beyond all contraciction the cruel injustice of the censure pronounced within four weeks afterwards (namely, before the receipt of that important explanatory document) by the Noble Earl the Chief Secretary of the Colonial Depar:ment. If we had nothing else whereby to estimate the real nature of the course pursued by Sir HARRY SMITH in Kafirland, that dispatch alone would be sufficient as a means of affording to his Excellency his full and entire exoneration. Looking at this portion alone of the correspondence referred to, we find therein ample testimony that the eulogistic observations expressed in regard to Sir HARRY by his Grasp the nom- MANDER•IN.-CIIIET were dictated, not by the parti ality inspired by his previous career o❑ the field of battle, bat by a calm and unprejudiced inquiry into his most recent proceedings. Speaking in that very singular document, and one which appears to us to have been hitherto very strangely overlooked, speak ing of the difficulties which had to be encountered by the notoriously inadequate forces at his disposal, his Excellency remarked, that her MAJESTY'S troops " had to carry on a desultory war over an extent of country twice the size of Great Britain and Ire land, overrun by a most enterprising horde of sa vages ; and they had also to occupy twelve forts, the maintenance of which was indispensable." Having thus briefly but significantly alluded to the obstacles in the way of a speedy subjugation of the insurgents, Sir HARRY observes, " had one re trograde step been made, the whole population of British Kafraria would have been in a blaze." He was aware, therefore, from the first, of the fearful re sponsibilities devolving upon him as Governor. He knew that the enormous extent of country already specified must continue to be the seat of the war which had broken out—a war, be it remembered, which was wholly attributable to the policy of the Colonial Secretary himself. Added to all which his Excellency was perfectly well aware that one retreat ing movement alone on the part of our forces would be the signal for a simultaneous rising of the entire po pulation. It was on account of his knowledge of al that, that the Governor of the Cape still endeavoured to maintain his position, although miserably crippled by the want of additional troops, and although he had just been deprived of Hottentot levies to the number of two thousand. The proceedings taken by him under this emergency were inadequate and blundering, according to the opinion of Earl GREY. They were judicious and entitled to the very strongest commendation, according to the opinion of the Duke of WELLINGTON. Can there be a moment's question as to which of the two judgments should be taken as the correct one—that of the Commander-in-Chief or of the Colonial Secretary. The mere proposition is in itself ridiculous. The opinion of Earl GREY even when having reference to matters relating to the toils of colonial government would be received, we imagine, with no small degree of hesitation. Upon military subjects we should feel disposed about as readily to consult Mr. WIDDICOMB. Whereas an encomium such as that pronounced the other a re w g r a o r a de t d h ev n e ning upon Sir HARRY SMITH in the House ot Earl t° may l aL t recent o bviG r e d o s ul y be hi w a Grace the Duke of WELLINGT O N i o t f se j lf an a u s a u ry ffi . cient counterpoise hundred dispatches such as the one written by tre e eas t ll l , 4o m tfh oreover, for all those interested in the j a u. D r ae , nt r of Sir HARRY by the mem berslection that the conclusive evidence of any incapacity the Cape is no Earl on his part eitheradministratorhow or as commander. Let it not be forgotten ofE to LLE d rillo . Rolloll. o conjectured. fromequally abrupt and peremptory was the recallndia of its late Governor-General, th e these H Prejudice and passion have more matters than may be at first much both had to do with the removal of Sir HARRY ow SMITH from the Cape is shown clearly enough, we conjecture, by the insolent and overbearing di spatc h in which the fact w as first announced b y Earl G REY to his Excellency. Painful, however, though the arroga n t course of the Government must necessarily be t o the late Governor of the Cape, the annoy. ance occasioned to him by the conduct of Earl Guy, must, we feel aa4ured, be more than compensated 1 33 , 'he noble and timHly Pant'gYrie pronounced Up la nun as a tialltary commander by his Grace the Duke of WELLINGTON. In another part of this day's impr ession will be found the details of th e N ew R e f o rm Bill (! ! !), co pies of which were last night delivered to Members of the House of Commons. The portion thereof which was most anxiously looked for was that con taining the names of the sixty-seven boroughs to which additions were to be made ; but more especially the nature and extent of these addi tions.was shrewdly It suspected by those who were aware of the Whig propen s ity for increasing the Parliamentary influence of the great houses professing Whig principles tw i t a very judicious selection would be made of the districts which were to be transferred from the county to the borough constituencies, and that the change would be anything but injurious to the interests of " the party." A cursory glance at the third column of the second schedule will show that these experienced men have not been mistaken. A fair opportunity for a job could not be resisted by " the happy family." Accordingly we find that the alteration will by no means render the constituencies more independent, or more opposed to undue influences then they had formerly been. The patron will still be enabled to obtain the " most sweet voices" of a majority of the electors in favour of his nominee. He may, perhaps, be obliged to take a little more trouble, and to form new alliances offensive and defensive with families in the vicinity. The Messrs. EDWARDS, BLAGOS, et hoc genus onzne, may be compelled to take some extra trouble, for which they will take care that they receive extra remuneration. " The Corrupt Prac tices at Elections Bill" will, of course, impose the ne cessity of greater caution, but the conflicting parties —those who are ready to bring out " the golden key," and are only desirous of securing a contest on any terms—will, of course, enter into arrangements to prevent any exposure, the result of which must be equally prejudicial to all. We know that at Sr. Albans the " purity of election" party were exceedingly anxious that their candidate should act in direct opposition to the principle on which they brought him forward. Under the more stringent regulations now introduced, we shall find that complaints of the existence of "bribery" or "treating" will no longer be preferred, but that there will be a mutual understanding on these points by the agents of the belligerents. Of course, where there is a recognised patron, or where an ambitious gentleman desirous of senatorial honours, hands out ' large sums of money, so as to have many of the free and independent electors completely at his mercy, there will be no probability of a complaint, or even if there were—although the moral taint might be clearly established—there would be no legal guilt that would justify the excision of the offending constituency from the list of boroughs returning re presentatives to Parliament. We do not then look forward to the gradual extinction of the minor bo roughs which Lard JOHN RUSSELL now considera essential to the maintenance of " the balance of the Constitution," nor do we think that there is any reasonable prospect of a progressive reform under the series of measures brought forward by her MAJESTY'S Government. But, as if to show more clearly and distinctly that the object was not to abridge patronage, or to prevent the usurpation by individuals of the rights of the many, we find that some of the rotten bo roughs, which had been disfranchised in 1832, are now restored. Their quondam opponent has manifestly repented him of his severity, and is desirous of holding out the olive branch to those whom he had formerly assailed. We find that many of those which in 1832 were included in schedule A are now to be restored to their former position. Saltasb, Boroughbridge, East Looe, Stockbridge, Camelford, and many others, resume at least a portion of their pristine importance. Like Rip VAN WINKLE, they have had prolonged slumbers, and, like the great dreamer, will be restored but little the worse for their protracted repose. And this is what the Noble Lord calls " a Reform Bill !" and which his toadies are prepared to exalt to the skies as one of the brightest illustrations of modern legislation ! We had previously formed no very exalted estimate of the measure. As we have already shown, it seemed, even on the first impres sion, to be totally opposed in pri❑ciple to its great antecedent, to be intended rather to prcmote the interests of the Whig party than of the community at large. That we were ❑ot mistaken in the conclusion at which we arrived will be sufficiently shown by a perusal of the list of places that are in. eluded in the third column of schedule B, to the ex clusion of many important and populous towns in the manufacturing districts. THE LONDON, THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received tho iv journals of yesterday. The Pays has an article giving an unqualified approval to the circular of the Minister of the I❑terior respecting 1).-e: approaching elections. It says that the ballot will be free, but it will be enlightened; that it would be as absurd as dangerous to expect from universal suffrage an initiative of which it has not in itself the power, and hat unless the electors be properly edified by com petent counsel as to the merits of the candi dates they will become the tools of demagogues. "Let then," adds the writer, " universal suffrage be directed, the ballot free, and the electors well-advised, that is what is required. In that way the Government and the country will be placed in the situation which suits each. The Government will say frankly to the country what it expects from its reason and prudence; and the country will reply by a vote of confidence, which will have so much the more authority that it will be at the same time a vote of patriotism and dignity." The ball given on Wednesday night by the Minister of War was very numerously attended. 3,200 cards of i❑vitation had been issued, and the company included the highest military notabilities, members of the Senate, of the magistracy, and a number of the first public func tionaries. A captain, a lieutenant, and a sub-lieutenant from each regiment in the garrison were present. The Princess MATRILDE, and a great number of ladies in the most brilliant toillettes, were amongst the company. which included the diplomatic corps, and all the Mi nisters, many of them in grand official costume. Inde pendently of the saloons, a gallery, beautifully deco rated, had been constructed in the garden, capable of containing 1,200 persons. The walls were hung with arms, in imitation of the armoury at the Tower of London, and, from the numerous lights, had a brilliant effect. Refreshments of the most exquisite kind were served in abundance, and dancing was kept up until past seven in the morning. The Academy of Sciences have elected M. ALFRED DE MIISSET and M. BERRYER in place of the late M. DLTATY and M. DE SAINT-PRIEST. The choice has to be submitted to the approbation of the PRINCE PRE• SIDENT. Amongst the persons condemned by the High Court of Justice at Bourges, for the affair of the 15th May, was M. HUBER, one of the most ardent leaders of the ultra republican party, and who had undergone previously many years' imprisonment, under the reign of LOUIS PHILIPPE. After the vote of the Plebiscite, M. lIIIIRER, who has for some time past been in the prison of Belle- Ile, addressed a on g letter to LOUIS NAPOLEON, in which he recognised the right that he now has under the vote of above seven millions of electors to expect adhesion to his Government, and candidly admits that resistance to him in such circumstance would betray an utter want of patriotism. M. HUBER then entreats from the clemency of the PRINCE such a commutation of his punishment as would enable him to enjoy better air, with a view to the amelioration of his health, which has suffered materially from long confinement. The PRINCE has gone much further in the way of clemency than the petition asked. He generously ordered that M. HUBER shall be liberated trom prison without being required to subscribe to any condition. The instructions given by the Ministers of the Inte rior, War, and Justice, by order of the PRINCE PRESI DENT, with a view to the speedy liberation of the per sons arrested for the events of December, in whose fa vour clemency could be exercised without compromising the interests of order, are being acted upon to the fullest extent in all the departments were arrests had taken place. The Committee of the Dramatic Authors have had an audience of the PRESIDENT of the Republic, for the ex press purpose of thanking him for the international trea ties, which had been recently concluded, and which se cured to the French authors all the advantages attached to literary property of French authors abroad. The President replied to M. VIENNET, who was the organ of the committee, that he had been long devoted to letters and the arts, and that he was anxious that they should under his Government attain the highest degree of pros p-rity. The committee afterwards entered on the ques tion of the diminution of the tax levied for the poor, to which Prince Louis NAPOLEON replied with great kindness, but with all the reserve which the subject de manded. The Bourse was remarkably firm, and public securi ties rose considerably as compared with the closing prices of the day before.

W SPAIN. We have received advice. from Madrid of the Bth i n st. The QUEEN was convalescent so much so that the book which was opened st the Palace fur the names o f persons making inquiries as to her health, bad been closed. Tno body of the rcgilde :Ixrtiszo had b;-o'_ ;:v€ l . and his ashes thrown into the moat. The regicide left behind him a document which h e d ec l are d that he ha d n o accomplices in to atrocious design. Previous' to his execution, MERNO wrote a letter to the QUEEN, expressing deep contrtion for his crime. He solemnly repeated this declaratiot al-ud, and added that it was quite true that he had no accomplice, that he had committed the crime of his OWE free will, that he again demanded pardon of Gon, tle QUEEN, and the Royal family, as also of all to whom le had dune wrong. He observed that he also demands(' pardon of the clergy for the disgrace he had brought on them. When the fatal hoar had arrived IIERINO was placel on an ass, to be conveyed to the scafold. An immense crowd was assembled before the prison, but it dia . played neither agitation nor wrath The authoritiss had taken imposing prec iutions fcr the preservation of order. It is said that the officer commandicg the escort remarked to MERINO as he left the prison:— " You have the face of a monster!" :c which he replied, " And you have the head of a monkey !" On the way to the scaffold the regicide, who had recovered all his is snrance, carried his head erect and gazed on all sides. When he arrived be wits kept waitiagtill twenty minutes past one o'clock , the time at which tie crime had been perpetrated. Shortly before the fists' moment he as cended the steps of the scaffold with great firmness, at tended by two priests. He took his seat on the fatal bench, and cast a look full of assurance on the crowd, which amounted to nearly 40,000 persons. The execu tioner then did his office. At the: moment some CI - 138 for the QUEEN were raised. It i s sa id that on seating hi m self the regicide repeated word for wcrd the last de claration he had written to the Q U E E N. When he was dead, one of the priests addressed s briet and appropriate spt e 313 to the crowd, which shortly after dispersed. No Bourse, as it was Sunday. SATURDAY EVENING, FEBBiUARY 14, 1852.

THE LONDON FEVER HOSPITAL.—The annual meeting of the governors of this institution was held yester day at the Freemasons Tavern. The Earl of Devon pre sided. It appeared from the report that 877 patients had been admitted into the hospital in 1851, of whom 740 had been cured, 83 hat died, and 103 remained under treatment. The audited accounts set forth that the income for the sam A year was 1,609/. and the expenditure 2,269/. This deficit had been partly made up by the circumstance of three small legacies, amounting together to 5091. As it may not happen again that legacies may Come in so opportunely, the benevo lent will see the necessity of being liberal in support of this excellent charity. The appointment of a chaplain having been referred to a committee, and some other business gone through, the meeting broke up, REPRESENTATION OF THE CITY OF NORWICH. - A report has been in circulation in this city, that T. 0. Springfield, Esq., had been requested to offer himself as a candidate for the representation. Upon inquiry, we learn that some of the members of the King's Arens Clab made a suggestion upon the subject, but that nothing has arisen from it. If we might venture an opinion, we should say that Mr. Springfield is too shrewd a man to be induced to undertake such a proposal. Mr. Springfield's experience has shown him the evils attendant on a citizen and resident who is the representative of his native town, and such a city as Norwich, called upon to make. We suspect the whole matter is no• to say nothing of the sac r ifi g e o e s s s :h . lch i Z w o ic tli h lr er es cur pee y is he is thing more than mere club lately met a young clergyman, who CONCISE REPLY OF THE DUKE OF `'WELLINGTON — " Grace's form er res i dence i n t h e E as t, and ignorance and obstinacy of th e ob fe i The nhgi s a g fw a a a l m l r a ie n l i t oa frDi histuy ke Hindoos in support of their false religion, gravely proposed l G v " ith the the following question : —"Does not your Grace think it almost useless and extravagant to preach the Gospel to the Hindoos ?"

CITY, TWO O'CL()CIr. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday appeared a little quieter, and prices were steady. The sales amounted to 8,000 bales, including 2,000 which were taken on specula tion and export. In Shares there was a good amount of business transacted. In the early part of the day the Market was very firm, but towards the close it was flatter, and par ties evinced some anxiety to sell. The weekly statement of th• Bank of England, to the 7th instant, gives us again an increase in the specie, but a large curtailment of circulation. This arises only in part, how ever, from reduced employment of money, the great addition to the public deposits being sufficient to account for it to some extent, although there was a slight falling off in dis counts. The lessening of private deposit accounts we may attribute to the increasing investments in stocks and shares. Compared with the previous return, the changes are as follows: Notes Issued ...

Scotland Ireland ..... 4,680,456 Ditto ...... 46,311 The totals are 26,539,1051. for England, being an increase of 1,704,6311., and for the United Kingdom 34,503,0631., an addition of 1,584,848/.

The state of trade in the Manchester districts has been dull again this week, and in Yorkshire not much has been done. _ _ _ The amount of silver exported from London direct during the week to Thursday last was 20,109 ounces, and of gold 128 ounces and 8,0001., the last mentioned sum to the Cape of Good Hope. The English Stock Market has been exceedingly buoyant, and there is a further rise of to 1 4 per cent., Console having been 974 to 1 ,4, and being now 9734 1 / 2 .

The disputes between the masters and the men vexes me, and the more so as I have alwa)s been the champion of the latter; they bad my cordial aid as to the alteration of the law, as to the emigration of artizans, and as to the combi nation laws. Now I think they are trying to abuse the freedom they have gained by becoming despots themselves. On what principle can they justify their dictation to their masters, who have a clear right to employ who they please, and what terms they please, so that they fulfil their engagements? As a maker of machines out of Eng land I should say that these workmen are doing me and all in my situation, good service. I employ who I please , and my men are too thankful if I will let them work overtime. I have never during twenty years found it necessary to send to England for any of these gentlemen, and yet I flatter air selt we make as good engines as are turned out of English shops. ne cost of the raw material here and in England is con stantly becoming more on a par, and if with this our labour is much cheaper, what is to prevent our sending machi , es to England, in competition with those made under such con ditions as the English workmen demand? Even supposing that foreign machine-makers cannot invade the shores of England with their machines, it is clear that their chance of , elling hem on the Continent will be so much the greater, as the price of English machines is augmented by dear labour. Probably these brave fellows are little informed as to the enormous progress made in this business all over the Conti nent, auu this without their aid or assistance. Whatever terms they may extort f orn their masters, they may rest assured that the men here will not, and cannot follow their exampl°;, we have no apprentice law, no regul ar serv i tu d e . a nd of course no class apart of mechanical workmen. Some of my best hands never worked at chi, craft until I put them to it. They now get much better wages than they formerly did, and will certainly not risk being turned out for making un reasonable dem.nds. Sardinia, 30th January, 1852. DEPAnTURE OF A FLEET OF MERCHANTMEN FROM LIVERPOOL. - For nearly a fortnight past, owing ro the prevalence of strong gales or adverse winds, the num ber ot ships windbound in the Mersey has been greater than ever before remembered. The wind having shifted on Tues day afternoon to the south, the most active p r eparations_ commenced for the dep ar t ure o f a numerous fleet of merchantmen, bound to all climes and quarters of the globe. During the evening tide of Tuesday and the morning tide of Wednesday no l ess than fag ships for foreign port s left flat-, Mersey, and in th e afternoon a considerable ad ditional number, independently of hundreds of coasting_ vessels, of which n o account i s taken. The appearance of the port of Liverpool throughout the whole of yeeterdaf was very animating. A beautiful, mild, sunshiny d!.1; hundreds of well dressed persons of both sexes on ,'' h shores of Lancashire and Cheshire, the river crowded v"_',_ ships, many of them in tow by steamers, and the bustle and activity at all the docks, formed ,a scene for more than five miles in extent such as has rarely, if ever, been vigr nessed in any seaport in the empire One most remarkab le t , l3 and unusual circumstance connected with the sailing of im unprecedented number of vessels is, that not a single inward' bound ship entere the port throughout the day.
