"Worse than that, Madam, said JOHNSON, " he's a Whig. But he's both."

'We may detect them in the avowal in favour of educa tional advancement. We may perceive them T E S IN, in the auguries of a comprehensive revision of our present system of taxation. The question now is—Will Ministers themselves evince a complete cog nizance of the responsibility of their position, of the necessity for an onward policy, and of the golden value of the opportunity now afforded them for the consolidation of a strong Government ? Will their desulnary ideas in favour of the advantages accruing from reform be concentrated into a scheme capable of commanding the sympathies of the Reformers ? Free Trade they know cannot be abolished. They k n ow equally well that an obdurate continuance in the blundering a rrangements which have long been matters of detes tation, is beyond the force of the compact and ener getic Government. What therefore remains to be done by them under the circumstances ? It remains for them to—advance. In acting thus their leaders would be guilty of no inconsistency. In acting otherwise they would, indeed, render themselves liable to fall under the charge o f tergiversation. Would it be inconsistency for the Earl of DERBY to place himself in the van of the great popular march of improvement—would it not rather be gross and shameless tergiversation for thehi na mt m o e of act differently, after the glory secured to STANLEY during the fir st and greatest struggle for t We reform in the lower House of await, then, with sa n g uine expectation Parliamenthe disclosure of the Ministerial programme, on . the assembling of the new House of Commons, during the course of the ensuing October. We await the revelation of the policy abou t to be adventured upon b y the Der by Cabinet with only greater confidence, moreover, from the .recollection that it will continue to be led, in the people popu lar branch of the Legi s l a t ure , b y a man of as Chancellor of the E xc h equer . It must not be forgotten during th e cr i s is of the the present emergency that patience and candour are the two great requisites for the conscientious members of the Opposition. Forbearance was the civic virtue demanded at their hands immediately upon the first formation of the DERB Y Government—a forbearance amounting at times to the height of magnanimity. At present—the last session of the Parliament of 1847 having closed, and the first session of the Parlia• meat of 1852 being on the very eve of its commence ment—the qualities looked for in the more patriotic section of the Opposition are those, we repeat, of patience and of candour. This patience can be taxed only for a brief while longer, and then the candour of those Reformers who are not mere partizans will be summoned into active operation. Remember, it was observed the other day by one of the most illus trious reformers of the age, as he is also one of the most distinguished of living statesmen—Sir JAMES GRAHAM—that he for one would not consent to pro nounce j udgment upon the Derby Cabinet until the Derby Cabinet had had a hearing. That hear ing it has not yet obtained. That hearing it could not, in fact, by any reasonable possibility have ob tained until after the appeal bad been made to the country—when the Earl of DERBY as Prime Minister might be enabled to submit his deliberated policy to the scrutiny of the newly-elected Legislature. Here, therefore, we recognise something like substantial promise of a Ministerial revelation. Hitherto in their hopes of such the people of the United Kingdom have been subjected to very griev ous disappointment. The fulfilment of the wishes of the community, we may therefore so far count upon, that we may venture to announce as forthcoming the long-delayed and anxiously-awaited disclosure of the views of the Government. Confi dent in the weakness of rival parties, let Ministers become confident also in the popularity of their own principles. They may, if they so will it. Assurance of the former is recognisable in the " very head and front of the offending" of Lord JOHN RUSSELL. Assurance of the latter may be discovered in the " antecedents" of the principal members of the Go vernment. The six hundred and fifty-four " Honourable Gentlemen" who represent, in Parliament, the coun ties and boroughs of the United Kingdom, may ex- pect to be called into action (or the show of action', in October. At that time, it i 3 understood, the har. vest having been all got in—and it is a source o national congratulation that a full and plenteous hale vest it will be, so that a continuity of cheap bread " appears looming in the distance"—and the winged inhabitants of the moors and mountains having been very considerably thinned, " the collective wisdom" of the nation will assemble for the dispatch of busi ness. No doubt a great deal is to be done. In the new Parliament we are to have Lord DERBY and his colleagues saying and doing a little more than they said and did in the last session. The actual tug of war will then really commence ;—the public will thea be able to perceive, it is to be hoped, how fur Opposition profession agrees with Ministerial practice. From the time when Lord JOHN RUSSELL " upset the coach," by driving it against Lord PALMERSTON'S amendment on the Militia Bill, we have said—Let the new Ministry have fair play and a fair trial. The character of the country was involved in this. It was by no chicanery, by no intrigue that the Earl of DERBY came into office in February. Why Lord JOHN RUSSELL should have thrown up the Govern ment has not been satisfactorily explained to this hour. Almost as inexplicable is the fact of his hav ing recommended the QUEEN to call upon Lord DERBY to form a Cabinet, instead of Sir JAMES GRAHAM ; for, up to that time, the Noble Earl was certainly anything but in favour of Progress, while the Honourable Baronet was the man, of all others whom the public recognised as a Movement leader. We never could understand why Lord Jour, not allowed (as he said) to carry pro gress measures, should have recommended the QUEEN to consult, as his successor, the man likely —at the time—to resist progress, instead of him determined to advance it. Hal Sir JAMES GRAHAM formed a Go vernment, including the real Liberals in Parliament, nobody doubts that it would have been one of the strongest that aver ruled the country. Now, and at all future times, the question will be—Why did Lord hope that JOHN RUSSELL recommend a Protectionist instead of a Liberal successor ? Could there have been a faint the finesse of 1851 would have been repeated, e nattutrh e a h o and that the RUSSELL .. GREY -ELLIOT Ministry would have been replaced ?

The appeal was n obly responded to.

Th ere never was an instance, e,s far as our Parliamentary history records, in which factious opposition was so entirely set aside. The result WAS that, in finance, Mr. DISRAE LI was allowed to br ing forward and easily carry th e Budget which Sir CLIARLES WOOD had prepared, and (to say nothing of m i no r enact ments) the new Government were permitted to ma ture and pass the measures for legal reform which, at the opening of the session, had been promised by the RUSSELL Cabinet. The common-weal was borne in mind by all parties in the last session, and the character of the country has been highly raised by the forbearance solicited by One party and gracefully granted by the other. The Session closed. A general election followed. Some striking changes took place. Many of the late Minist ers d id not obtain re-election. The chiefs of the Peelite section were (4 nowhere."

Between LONDON. MATURDAY the two great parties in Parliament, the greater party o f all —namely, TH e PEOPLE have of receiving the benefit of Justice. sloVmhe-nepvreorsptehcte Tories do carry a reform measure, they do it efficiently and liberally. It was so with the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts,—it was so with Catholic Emancipation,—it was so with the revision of the Tariff,—it was so with the measures of Free Trade, which gave us Cheap Bread,—it was so with the Reform of the Court of Chancery. When they do give, they give liberally and wisely. What g n , e i x s t, th o e r ni w y he st t e h r e y r . the s y tan c d on s t t e i m li p t l h a e t y e tnhoetygiving n a t o n y g t i h v i e n cannot. This they know, and, knowing it, can they dream of resisting progress ? We think not,—we think that they ought to assist it, and that they will. In October, when th e new P ar li amen t assem ble, the Ministry will h ave t o ma k e a f u ll an d f orma l decla ration of the principles upon which they purpose to govern the country. They must be frank, explicit, and decisive in what they say. Hitherto, they have been reproached, in and out of Parliament, with the uncertainty and the shiftingness of their political avowals. What use is it, while Mr. DISRAELI is shadowing out a liberal policy in the Commons, for Lord DERBY to be hinting at the reverse in the Lords ? What can people think of a Ministry, the members of which differ on the main points ? What can be done with a Ministry in which ,the CHRISTO.' PHERS and the FITZROY KELLEYS advocate the main tenance of Protection, while the DISRAELIS and the HENLEYS frankly admit that they cannot re-animate a corpse ? These uncer tainties, these variations, these eccentricities may have served their purpose in hustings' spe eches and post-prandial orations, but a dread ordeal is at hand, and, when that comes,—literally putting th e Minis try to "the question"—straightforward, deci ded, and unmistakable language will be demanded. The rational Members of the Ministry—at whose head we certainly place DISRAELI, whose practical common sense appears curiously balanced by his un doubted genius—cannot dream of taking up the caput mortuum of Protection, with a hope of vitalizing it ? They must know, and they do, that when the question, to the millions, is, " Will you pay fivepence or a shilling for your loaf ?"—the millions will shout a reply of " Cheap bread for ever!" Why then contend for shadows ? Why waste time, and words, and temper, and power, and the opportunity of well using that power for the public good, in a' desperate and foolish contention for a mere name 1r To repeal Free Trade would simply cause a revolu tion. What Minister will be so bold—so foolish in his boldness—as to precipitate such a terrible result ? 'No one, we hope. Let the Ministry meet Parlia ment with the avowal that they dare not attempt the restoration cf Protection, and that they are pre pared to propose measures for the public good, and they will have such vantage-ground, from that ad mission and that promise, as no Cabinet ever had before. We are so sanguine as to expect that the Ministe rial declaration, at the opening of Parliament, will simply throw over Protection as an exploded and wholly untenable chimera. That done, and dune so that there cannot be any future mistake upon it, Minis ters will have " a clear stage," and ought to require " no favour," except what their conduct may obtain. They have much to do. Two pressing subjects ar e before them—the adjustment of taxation, and the further reform of the law. The adjustment of taxation will naturally spread into many ramifications. The Customs' duties wan t further revision, reduction, and e q ualization. The Excise duties are capable of g reat amendment. The land-tax tioned and equa li ze d, it would be b etter for the must be adjusted — if it were fairl y appor farmers than a duty of twenty per cent. on corn. And, more than all, there must be a revision of the income and property-tax, the unequal pressure of which is now such a source of general complaint among all classes throughout the country, that the Ministry who will fairly apply itself to do justice on this headi will merit public protection. Further reform of the law must take place. That cannot be delayed. Chancery has received " a heavy blow and great discouragement" during the last session, and Lord ST. LEONARDS may be trusted to undertake it. Still, we must, sooner or later, have the junction of equity and law : one tribunal em powered to adjudicate on fact and law—or what is legal and what is just. The Ecclesiastical Courts demand nothing less than to be wholly swept away, as nuisances. The Bankruptcy Courts are susceptible of many and great improve ments, which would extend their operations for the benefit of creditors and debtors. Never had a Mi nistry such a wide field for great and good exertion. If they throw away this chance, by absurdly clinging to the skirts of Protection, they will merit neither bmy fa a l uT l is onloe N mu o mA sI than betterri. theirsupportepitaph homely sympathywhen immortali ze d gravedon their GOLDSBY, of—" Served 'em right." THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. A telegraphic dispatch from Madrid has been re ceived, announcing that the Marquis DE MinArLoaEs, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs . , has been re placed by M. BERTRAND DE LYS. The latter, who was Secretary of State for the Interior, is replaced by M. ORDONEZ, Civil Governor of Madrid. A decree of the PREsIDENT of the Republic dis solves the company of the Municipal Sapeurs-pom piers of the town of Montpellier. No reason S. signed for this act. Monseigneur PAVY, Bishop of Algiers, has been promoted to the rank of commander of the Legion of Honour. _ Prince MURAT gave a grand fete yesterday, at his villa at Buzanval. The singers of the French opera sang some of their best pieces. The PRESIDENT of the Republic was present, attended by General ROGUET• The iloniteur publishes the following telegraphic dispatch : " THE SOUS•PREFECT OF VALENCIENNES TO TEM lII NISTZR OF THE INTERIOR. " Valenciennes, 12h August, half-p as t two o ' c l oc k , P.M. "The following is the first act of the Conseil d'Ar rondissement of Valenciennes:-- "' The members of the Conseil d'Arrondissement ' penetrated with gratitude for the services that the P r i nce President has rendered, and every day renders the country—being convinced, too, that France owes to him her safety, and will owe to him with the stability of his power (avec la stability de son institution) en era of pros perity and happiness, feel it a duty, before commencing their labours, to express their feelings that Heaven may preserve and protect the elected of eight millions, and are happy to offer to his Highness the homage of their entire devotedness, and the tribute of their profound respect.' This resolution was adopted unanimously." This resolution, it will be seen, amounts substan tially to a declaration for the empire, for it says, in fact, that the continued happiness of the country will depend upon the condition of stability being given to the power of his Highness the PRINCE PRESIDENT. The manner in which the Moniteur publishes the dispatch of the under prefect is certainly not calculated to discourage the expression of similar wishes.

The Herald° has the following : " Our correspondent in La Granja attributes the re signation of the Marquis of Miraflores to the decision taken in Council to dissolve the Corns—a measure to which he was opposed. The King is gone to make an excursion in the neighbouring mountains. The French Ambassador intends to give a banquet. on the 15th, to celebrate the Grand National Feast of France." The Gaceta Illilitar announces that the squadron of guards of the QUEEN was to be re-organized, and formed hereafter of two companies, the second of which is to be commanded by M. JUAN CAHN'. It being Sunday, the Bourse remained closed. GERMAN Y. We have already announced the departure for Vienna of an envoy from the Pontifical Court, charged with an important mission. We have just learned that this envoy is Prince HOHENLOHE, one of the personages who is honoured with the confidence of the Porn. The object of this mission is to negotiate the eva cuation of the Roman States by the troops of Austria and Prance, as the POPE considers that the Pontifical army, which now numbers more than 70,000 men, is sufficient at present to meet all need. The Saxon Minister, AI. VON BRUST, who came to Vienna a few days since, accompanied by a director of the customs, had numerous conferences with the Ministers, and having now returned, it is asserted that M. VoN BRUST proposed to Austria the forma tion of a new customs group, equally independent of Austria and Prussia. The exchange of a frequent diplomatic correspond ence between our Cabinet and that of the Porte is commented upon in well-informed circles. The Porte, it appears, has been long requesting our Go vernment to explain the cause of not having yet no minated an Austrian representative at Constantinople, whereas the Turkish envoy was still accredited at Vienna. Our Cabinet has replied that the present epoch does not appear to it the most opportune for the nomination of such an envoy. Allusion is here supposed to b e ma d e t o the state of things in Bosnia, respecting dressed a speci a l no t e to the Porte. which our Government has besides ad- DENMARK.

Of these, eight belong to the National party—Professor WILKENS, Consul RAGE (a rich merchant of distinguished talents and imbued with English sentiments), State Councillor LARSEN, State Revisor ROTHE, Count KNUTH (a brilliant member of the March Cabinet), Count RAVEN (a man of solid acquire ments and rare integrity); Councillor of Justice CASSE, and Captain-Lieutenant Tux Eta.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 15,000 bales of which 8,000 were taken for export and on speculation. The market closed with a hardening tendency.—Railway Shares were firm at rather higher prices. In produce this week there have been moderate trans actions and no important change has occurred in prices. Sugar has been rather dull, and Coffee still in request. Rice',has advanced owing to the rise in wheat. Cotton is not in so much request. Saltpetre has been firm, and spices have been easily saleable. In the fruit trade there is grea► activity owing to the unfavourable ac counts from Patras and Zsnte. Tea has gone steadily at the public sales. The - buiiness of the Bank of England appears to have fallen off during the week to the 7th inst., but perhaps this is more apparent than real, as under the head of other securities we observe very little change. The circulation curtailment would be accounted for by the additional sum paid in as public deposits, but that there was as much withdr awn on p r i va t e accou nt, a great d ea l of which mu s t h ave b een ta k en i n spec i e , an d therefore notes in proportion were added to the reserve.
