Iltrieenitul 3 7 Mt LONDON, MONDAY, APRIL 12, 1852. According to CICERO, it was BIAS who first pro claimed the sagacity of treating every friend as though he were ultimately to become an enemy. A more despicable sentiment than this was perhaps never propounded. Yet, from an experience of up wards of a quarter of a century, we may assert without fear of contradiction that it is precisely the opinion which appears to have been acted upon throughout his-political career by Lord JOHN nUSSELL. During the period of his continuance in office the ex-Premier always contrived to fence his policy round with a sort of impenetrable chevaux-de-frieze of reservations. Within their limits the " vulgar herd" of his sup rtart"s wer e never admit ted ; and to this eireum. II " , we conceive is mainly a ttributable the isolated Pfettirmill:el;chich' the Noble Lord has always cus tomary emer laced in moments of more thancus- IleY. Whenever a crisis arrived to test the stability so happened that i' ' c the lat e Administration , it invariably ena bled to rally round t l ato . Prime Minister was only t un es were depend ent Zn. the placemen whose for r,l the maintenance of his Gavernment. During t this became so notoriously the cage t w o or three sessions known to every political calae ' .. aae that it was well Cabinet existed on no understanding that the Whig able than that of mere sutrera„gneraore respect independent among the npreauntativzlhe more people shrank, upon all those occasio ns, °f the supporting by their votes one who 11 1. from risen into power for the purposP, it would seem, only baulking the popular ambitioh,,end whose distaste, a t one period, for the continuance of those progressive and constitutional improvements to which he had been formerly pledged, became so apparent that he was familiarly designated Finality Joma by the wits with a ludicrous and reproachful significance. Yield ing at length to the pressure of political circum stances, and to those onward influences of the age which the genius of statesmanship has hitherto dis covered to be altogether irresistible—Lord JOHN Russznn consented, it is true, once more to take the initiative as a Reformer, and by so doing elevated him self to the head of what at the outset was presumed to be a liberal and energetic Government. How the specious promises of the Noble Lord were falsified the country has learnt through six years' bitter experience. Hew the affected principles of the so-called leader of the Reformers were one by one: either wholly and marvellously abandoned, or distorted into the most despicable shadow of Conservatism, it is scarcely, we believe, necessary to demonstrate. The records of the past Administration constitute a sufficient evidence of this to show the hollowness of the policy which the formation of the Whig Ministry in 1846 was sup posed to inaugurate. Among the annals of the departed Government, among the catalogue of its achievements, can the nation detect any assurance that its interests were not for the most part flagrantly and deliberately f:r saken ? What advantage has the late Cabinet as sured to us in the way of education? What sub stantial benefit in the way of sanitary improvements ? What in the way of practical reforms, whether in the administration of the law or in the organization of Parliament? Ample opportunity, it must be allowed even by themselves, was afforded in regard to time, and how far consequently can they be shown in a single instance to have availed themselves of that opportunity ? Six years elapsed during their posses sion of office and during those six years—what was done by the Whigs towards ameliorating the old and bitterly operating system of taxation ? How about the unequal and grinding tax upon incomes ? How about the prevention of bribery by the ballot? How about the more equal distribution of the electoral I districts ? How about the rational carrying out of the wisbeCi•for scheme of retrenchment ? How about the currency ? About Ireland ? About the Criminal Code ? About ene machinery of colo nial government and all the other blatant evils which had for years been crying out for some grand effort of administrative interposition ? Why—reviewing the whole series of these impor tant questions, and looking for their elucidation to the fruits of the Ministerial labours of Lord JOHN RUSSELL and his colleagues—we cen discern on all sides little more than the most deplorable evidence of indolence and procrastination. The people of England are 23 far off 53 ever from the chance of enjoying any comprehensive system of a really na tional and not sectarian system of education. Of sanitary innovations we have heard, no doubt, more than enough, but as yet the public knows little more in regard to them than that it has had to supply annual salaries to Mr. EDWIN CHADWICK and his brother Commissioners. The Extramural Interments Act for the metropolis we ourselves have re peatedly shown to be nothing better than a delusion—seeing that the enactment up to the present moment has actually proved to be a dead letter. For the majority of the legal reforms effected of late the nation has been indebted to in dividual Reformers like my Lord BROUGHAM, and not to the collective Government. The multitude are still as lamentably as heretofore under the effects of the old blundering system of taxation, and if the tax upon incomes expired with the sth of this present April, we are indebted for that boon, not by any means to the members of the recent Cabinet, an but to the veteran representa tive of Montrose, ato the non-interference of the existing Government. Then as to the ballot, although it was called, in official slang, an "open question" under the Whigs, it was virtually tabooed by them, and practically neglected as one among the chimerical dreams and Quixotic ventures of Democracy. The electoral districts are not less preposterously unequal in the proportion between their dimensions and the respective number of their representatives than at the pe:iod of the formation of the departed Government. Something has been done, it is true, in the way of retrenchment, but contrast that " something" with what still remains to be accom plished, and the effected economy dwindles to abso lute insignificance. As to the colonies, the popula tion of the United Kingdom know rather too well how inefficacious has been the policy pursued towards them by the Chief Secretary of the late Administration. Whatever credit, in fine, devolves upon that Government for its proceedings during the six years of it s supremacy is restricted to Sir GEORGE GREY, as Home Secretary, to the Earl of CLARENDON (who was not a Cabinet Minister), as Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland—and more especially, and we may add, im measurably beyond all, to the very statesman who was treated with such ingratitude by the ex-Premier, the statesman whose popularity was the sole talisman of his own power, the statesman to whom his Govern ment was indebted for the glory of maintain ing peace with Europe during a tremendous sequence of revolutions—need we specify by name the late Foreign Secretary ? These are the men upon the value of whose promises the country will very speedily have to decide. Will the nation resign its destinies for another seven years to their keeping —or will it look for more honesty and more reliance in its Reformers? The most sceptical are at length convinced. Even the loudest scoffers are compelled unwillingly to acknowledge that there is " no mistake" as to the almost miraculous yield of the Australian gold fields. All that the most vivid imagination could picture to itself —as to wealth, boundless, immeaaureable—has been more then realised. ALADDIN'S lamp has ap parently been brought to light in the nineteenth cen tury, and the most valuable of the precious metals lies scattered in rich profusion on the very surface of the earth, only requiring hands to collect the incal culable stores supplied by nature, in almost reckless prodigality. The Australian accounts by each suc cessive vessel appear like the creations of the wildest fiction, rather than credible statements, emanating from trustworthy sources, and yet when tested by the results, they appear not only to be by no means exaggerated, but even far below the astonishing r ea lit y - nor is the supp l y limited to a exceeded gle distri c t, is by -y The intelligence from one locality received from an other. There are Lake Bathurst and the Mulwarre Ponds, Geelong, the Sydney y Ballarat, and Mount Alexa nd er , the Turon Valley, "diggins," all a ffordi ng apparently inex haustible yln s e uppli es . There is, in fact , room enough for ever man wh o pleases to take out his licence, and with his way to the auriferous I pickaxe or cradle, fin d s localities, actually engaged at the Sydney mines From the last accounts assertedat Ballarat and Mount atfrom AlexanderB ,00 i 0 t t iso 1 positivelyo , O O O , p erson whiles fatll that nes a t rhee estimatedn u m bers yi no occupied, ire ldthereaalni localities, it tlaer fromwe take2o , 0 i : t o o toac account o n o t o those working for gold i it is rather under the mark to state that least 40,000 individuals searching e are a t colonies at this moment.il our If, then , each Own out a licence at the present rate of 3/ I nao tak es there will at once be areve nue o f 1 20 .

Let us now consider the • • quantities of gold that these 40,000 miners have obtained, are obtain ing, and are still likely to obtain. We find that within the past week gold to the amount of 378,0001. has been received in London, and that 100,0001. more is daily expected. We give the details : The Melbourne brought 200,000/. ; the Alert, 128,000/. ; the Blackfriar and Bolivar 50,000/. ; and it was known that the Hero, which sailed about the same time, was bringing 100,0001. more. But this formed but a small portion of the quantity collected, as will appear from the official statements of the sums brought in by the Government escort. It ap pears that the authorities have established a weekly conveyance for receiving gold from the miners and bringing it to Melbourne or Geelong. They re• f use , h oweve r, to guarentee its cafe deli very, and as they charge the enormous sum of one per cent. carriage for a distance of from seventy to seventy-five miles, vast numbers refuse to comply with the extortionate demand ; by far the greater number of persons prefer conveying their ac quisitions to the nearest market themselves, so that, to use the words of the " Gold Circular," the diggers prefer "saving the money and taking the risk." Mr. PATERSON, an eminent gold merchant at Geelong, states that during the preceding week he had pur chased 1,631 ounces of gold, and that only " one sixth of it reached him by Government escort." The amount transmitted then by the " escort" is probably in the same proportion, or about one-sixth, or, at the outside, one quarter of the bullion actually collected. Now the official returns of the gold brought by the escort give the following results, viz., on Wednesday, Nov. 19th, from Mount Alexander, 6,4860 z. ; from Ballarat, 2,1170 z. ; from Geelong, 6190 z. ; and for Government, 9160 z. ; making a total of 10,138 ounces. On Wednesday, the 26th, there were brought from the same districts 12,1060 z.; on Wednesday, 3d December, 16,6690 z. ; on 10th December, 26,6560 z. ; and on the 17th De cember, 19,4920 z. Here, then, within a single month, from the 19th November to the 17th December, was no less than 85,061 ounces ; and if we take the esti mate that one-fourtb(and not one-sixth) was sent by that conveyance, the total collection would be 330,244 ounces of gold, which, at the Mint price of 31. 17s. 6d. per ounce, would make the value no less than 1,275,4151., and that exclusive of Sydney mines and other exceedingly productive districts. That this is not an over-estimate will appear on other grounds. That there are cases of extraordinary individual success is certain. It is stated that one man dug up 301 b. weight of gold in a single. hour ; in another, of a man gaining 111 b. weight in 48 hours ; another case, where a man got lib. in a day. We also hear of a ship captain " bringing back 800/. for three weeks' work," and CHARLES ROBERTS, late drayman to Messrs. Cazernean and Co., returning with 1,1001. as his share of five weeks digging." There are also accounts of three specimen's of gold and quartz, one weighing 281 b., another 261 b., and another something less, which were estimated to contain at least one half gold, and "Peter Brennan's lump," as one magnificent specimen was denominated, actually soli for 1,3001. Now, although it cannot be supposed that thege i n i er uls general body referred y bo wouldprove so f o rtunate as the lucky from four to five ou nces p er wee k may b i e t looked appears on that about the avera ge co ll ec ti on . If we take the smaller amount, the 20,000 or 30,000 miners at Mount Alexander and Ballarat, would produce about from 80,000 to 90,000 ounces per week, or say 330,000 ounces in the month, we thus arrive at the same re sult by a diffent method. Now it must be borne in mind that these estonish irg a z i e n o e r i kin b o y w th; t e h un skilledthe quantities labour (nitiao coarse st tools ; what, then, may be anticipated from of f solitarygoldlea ve d be en the combined exertions of carefully selected and ex perienced miners, possessing first-rate machinery and every requisite for obtaining the greatest quantity of gold from the auriferous soil ? It is not too much to assume that, with such facilities, skilful men will obtain a quadruple produce, or sixteen ounces per man a week. Now, several of the companies have already sent out competent staffs. Last month, the " Australian Mutual " dispatched between thirty and forty men, per the Asiatic. " The Australian Free hold," as appears from an advertisement iu another column, sent off the remainder of their staff from Gravesend, per the Gipsy Queen, on the 6th instant. We believe that other companies have eiLher made or are actively engaged in making similar efforts. What, then, will be the effect of such an addition to the miners in the production of gold; and what enormous profits must the speculators realise on the amount of their investments ? If but the one-tenth of what has been estimated be but realised—and we cannot conceive the possibility of failure—the wildest visions of the most sanguine enthusiasts will be more than realised, and profits will be obtained exceeding any that has ever resulted from any former specula tion. Interested alarmists may croak to their hearts' content, frightening the timid and over-cautious until the literally " golden " opportunities are for ever lost ; but they cannot arrest the progress of events, or pre vent the accumulation of wealth far beyond that en joyed at any preceding period in our national history. Those who have let slip the chance may too late lament their folly and infatuation, but the nation will have cause to rejoice when the copious supplies of the precious metal lead to the full employment of the labouring population by giving that which may be regarded as the " very life-blood of industry," a cir culating medium adequate to the wants and exigen cies of the people. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of Saturday and yesterday. The Ateniteur publishes a decree regulating the course of education in the colleges of France. At the meeting of the Legislative Corps on Tues day next a message is to be presented from the Pan -SIDEINT of the Republic, which will contain a general review of the affairs of the country since the last message on the 12th of November, 1851. The Itioniteur contains the following satisfactory statement : " The indirect revenue increases with the most re markable rapidity. The receipts for January, 1852, had been inferior to those of 1851. The receipts for Fe bruary, 1852, exceed those of 1851 by 2,000,000 f. The receipts for March, 1852, exceed thcze of March, 1851, by nearly 5,000,000 f. This rapid increass is a staking sign of the revival of business, and of the development of work. Amongst these elements the registry duties are particularly to be remerked; up to March they had been very trifling, and in January and February had hardly equalled those of the corresponding months of 1851. In March they exceed those of the correspond ing month by 1,800,000 f," The Union says : spo " k l e t n a o p f p f e o a r ra th e e er t t e a g in in t n h in at g t o h f e g ta ra ay nd , r w ev il i l ow ta , k w e h p i l e a li ce w o a n s the 10th of that month, on which occasion the eagles will be delivered to the different regiments. The whole of the Ist military division will be assembled on that day in the Champ de Mars. The various regiments will be represented by the colonel, a chef de bataillon, a captain, a standardbearer, two non-commissioned officers, and two privates. On the 4th the army of Paris will give the President a grand ball at the Ecole Militaire." A letter from Rouen states that Passion Week, which is usually remarked for a falling off in busi ness, has been this year quite the reverse. A num ber of foreigners have visited the place, and the sales have been considerable. Several large orders have also been received from Paris both for calicoes and printed cottons, and prices have been firmly main tained. Accounts from Thuron and other manufacturing districts in the Ilaut Rhin speak favourably of the state of trade. The machine manufacturers have been more particularly favoured, and large orders have been received in consequence of the strike in England, which will give employment for more than a year. The journals of the south state a great drought prevails throughout all that part of France. In the memory of man the department of the Gard has never suffered so severely from a want of water. M. EMILE DE GIRARDIN has received a formal notice of warning from the Minister of Police on the subject of 1153 series of articles, which, under the title of " Conservons la Republique," have attracted a large share of public attention.

It i 3 confidently believed in Vienna that the death of FritlCU SCHWARZENBEEG will not cause any change in the int sm.!' or the foreign policy of Austria. The fortifying of this city is again under lively discussion, the project formerly entertained of the establishment of an enormous arsenal h^,s received the Imperial sanction. Orders have been given for the preparation of the plans. It is said that the EMPEROR intends going to Venice immediately after the arrival there of the Grand Dukes NICHOLAS and MICUAEL. The Prussian Gazette publishes the following tele graphic dispatch, dated Vienna, 6th inst.:— " ~cnnt Bnoi, Austtisn Ambassador in London, is named Minister of Foreign .Affairs; Baron Werner is charged with the direction of that department until the installation of the n©w Minister." Letters from 'Hanover state that the Ministerial crisis will be solved by the resignation of MM. DE BOREIES and VoN DER .DECKEN while M. DE SCHEELE and MM. 13 ACMEIS TER and WINDTHORSEN will retain their portfolios, and carry out their prin ciples. Eleven officers, attended by 150 seamen, have gone from Berlin to Bremerhaven, for the purpose of taking possession of the two vessels, the Eckenforde and BArharossa, which have been made over to Prussia from the German fleet by the decision of the Germanic Diet. The German fleet, which has now been dissolved, consists of-2 steam-frigates of 7.50-horse power and 11 guns, and 2 sailing frigates, 7 steam corvettes, and 26 gun- boats. The First Chamber of Darmstadt adopted, en the 6th, the Bill sent up by the Second Chamber for the re-establishment of capital puniehnients. The German Journal of Frankfort states that the Diplomatic Congress at Darmstadt, on the subject of the Congress of the Zollverein, has ended without any result having been come to respecting the different propositions which were brought forward. The Chamber of Brunswick, in a recent sitting, rejected a motion for the abolition of the lottery. The Hanoverian Diet is convoked for the Ist of May, from two to three years. A letter from Carisruhe of the 7th states that the illness of the Grand Duke of BADEN has made such rapid progress that his dissolution was hourly ex pected. It was announced that the hereditary Prince Louis will:be proclaimed Grand Duke, but that Prince FREDERICK will take the reins of government. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 12, 1852, TURKEY. Accounts from Constantinople of the 29th ult., state that the right of inflicting the punishment of death will be conceded to the Viceroy of EG YPT f or th ree years, in accordance with the advicu of Sir STRAT• FORD CANNING. On the 20th ult. a band of 60 Italians paraded the street of Galiongi Coulous, carryin g a R epu bli can flag, and crying ." Long live the Republic !" The local police was immediately called out, and they were all arrested, and sent to the Ministry of Police to await the decision of the auth or iti es respecting them. The number of Italians at Constantinople is, says this letter, 600 ; and though m os t of them represent themselves to be political refuge es , only 26 are really so. The 26 political refugees live, it is stated, in a very retired way, and have nothing to d o w ith the o thers.

Bars are in very moderate demand, but the price is considerably firmer. Scotch Pigs are a shade lower in price.

The Augusta Schneider, chartered by the Port Philip and, Colonial Gold Mining Company, sailed from Falmouth on Wednesday, with a large staff of miners, stores, &c. About 130 sat down to supper on Monday, when all seemed much delighted, assured that every thing had been done for their comfort, and perfectly satisfied with their future prospects. As evidence of the care which has been taken we may state that three of the directors visited Falmouth to inspect the ship, provisions, &c., previous to her departure. The party were selected by Captain W. Richards, of Redruth, and Mr. W. H. Ritchie has been appointed their superinten dent, and took out with him a large amount of sovereigns to purchase gold with immediately on his arrival in th colony of Victoria. The Hamburgh letters of Friday last quote bills on London rather in demand at long date, but there was a good supply of short paper. There has been another arrival from Australia. The dates are not later, but there are miscellaneous items of interest from Port Philip. The following is a criticism upon the speech of Governor La Trobe when the Le gislature opened:— " The speech, we repeat, is a good and proper one. Tts several clauses will furnish matter for more particu ar consideration, when the measures which they re commend, are under discussion in the House; but we may remark that, in all the subjects to which he adver ted, his Excellency manifests a disposition to promote what are generally understood to be the true interests of the colony. The justice of our claim upon the Sydney Government, the amendment of the Posta ge Act with especial reference to the abolition of the tax on newspapers, the modification of the Electoral Act, the supply of labour, the estimates, the revision of the : tari ff , the educa tion of the people, the administration of justice, and the steps which the recent gold discoveries may render it necessary to take, in order ,to turn them into a so urce of good rather than evil —are, indeed, matters of grave and stirring import; and all of them are so brought for ward in the several divisions of the speech, as to show that the Government are fully alive to their real and relative interests, and anxious that they shall meet with an impartial, wise, and searching examination. " From the different notices of motions which have been already given by several members, it is sufficiently evident that there is no intention of being idle; and the motions themselves, from both sides of the House, indi cate a desire to advance the substantial welfare of the colony. The Portland Guardian contains the following par a . graph:—" The following intelligence has been communi. and e e p h ro e v re inc i e s , b in y sated to us by a private letter from Adelaide.

Nearly the whole of the country markets, held on Sit: turday, were but moderately supplied with Wheat, Yel the demand for all kinds ruled heavy, at drooping price s Fine Barley was held at previous rates; but grinding Sou, distilling sorts were easier to p urc h ase . M a lt dull; WI; good heavy Oats were quite as dear. Beans, Pass, *Du Flour commanded very little attention. The Corg i trade in Franee has be come h eavy , at f urther d epr esse d rates. In the Baltic and Black Sea ports very fe d transactions have lately taken place on English aeuounk The Dutch, Belgian, and American markets, have bee! heavy in the extreme. Very moderate supplies :11 English Grain arrived up to our market last 'wee' , From abroad we received 5,131 quarters of Wbe 7 5,035 Barley, 10,659 Oats, 2,948 T a r es , 4,281 Linseen 3,140 Rapeseed, 15 sundry Seeds; 2,318 sacks and 5/ st w barrels of Flour. The supply of Wheat received fresh up to this irsorn• ing's market, from Kent, was very moderate, but in , r e _ i. cellent condition. From E ssex, N or f olk, Su ff olk. a' the receipts , were limited. By land carriage from O w midland districts, the arrivals were far from extensi ve ' and the total show of samples of both red and white wn: i comparativ Ay small, and we ma y o b serve that sever al of the cargoes reported last week went direct into th e , hands of the millers. The attend ance o f b oth town an' country buyers being small, and the pressure of foreign Flour rather heavy, the demand for all kinds of Wheri of home produce was in a very inactive state. Hove ever, the finest samples changed hands at last MondaY ' l prices; but, in some instances, the value of low and raid dfing qualities was the turn in favour of dealers. Very little fresh Forei gn Wh eat was brought for ward, and the show of samp l es ex-granary was limite d' For all kinds the dem an d b ot h for home use and "pot'. ruled exceedingly heavy, and the to nominal. quotations were nnz i The arrival of floati ng cargoes off the coast is so llll. To-day Egyptian Wheat has realised 28s per quarter, all charges included. Scarcely any English Barley was on offer, but , the , show of Foreign was seasonably good. Picked qualit fit for maltin g so ld at very full currencies. In gri n d ' ing and distilling sorts very few transactions were re' ported at late figures. Malt was in moderate 3362 es supply n Be a ns—Ti c k n s — a e n a l :i,1 sluggish t,ka. unaltered quotations. The quantity ready for deltin r i was small. Go od c s uß ou n n E d x O c a y ts p ri t O to V nip e 4i d 743BB off steadily at late figures' but all other kinds commanded very little attention, yet the quotations were supported. at Beane, though in short supply, moved off slowly barely late figures. but Grey and Maple Peas were held at full prices, - white qualites met a dull inquiry. Indian Corn was quite neglected. The Flour trade was dull, but no change took place ill the value of any kind.
