They know that several men recently returned to the House of Commons are prig, that others—worse than that — are Whigs, and that some are botb. They are disposed, moreover, we believe, to give the prigs, of the two, th e pr e f e r ence . Never, perhaps, since the history of Parliament commenced has any party "gone down" more rapidly, end, for the time being, more irretrievably, than the once powerful and P ° Pular party constituting the late G ove rnment.

'' is to moderate and progressive reform rather than to stubborn and ultra-Conservatism. What, it be asked, are the indications of this? 'they may re manifold. We may recognise them in the abandonment ' the principles of Protection. W e may discoveronment or . them in the decla ration for Legal improvements. We may detect them in the avowal iu favour of educa tional advancement. W e may perceive them i 1 SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY in the auguries of a comprehensive revision of our present system of taxation. The questio n 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 desultory 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 know equally well that an obdurate continuance in the blundering arrangements 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 und er th e c i rcumstances ? It remains for them to—advance. In acting thus their leaders would be guilty o f no i ncons i s tency. In acting otherwise they would, indeed, render themselves liable to f a ll un d er the c h arg e of 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 b e gross a n d s h ame l ess tergiversation for him to ac t differently, after the glory se cured to the na me o f SraeiLey during the first and greatest struggle for reform in the lower House of Parliament ? We await, then, with sangu ine ex p ectation the disclosure f th programme, duringo the course ofn the assembling of the en e Ministerial cmewHouseof the ensuing October. We await the revelation of the policy about to be adventured upon by the Derby Cabinet with only greater confidence, moreover, from the recollection that it will continue to be led, in the popular branch of the Legislature, by a man of the people as Chancellor of the Exchequer. It must not be forgotten during the crisis of 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 DERBY Government—a forbearance amounting at times to the h • eight of magnanimity. At present—the last session of the Parliament of 1847 having closed, and the first session of the Parlia ment 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 Jonrr 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 int)* )f action) in October. At that time, it is understood, the har vest having been all got in—and it is a source of national congratulation that a full and plenteous har 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 uew Parliament we are to have Lord DERRY 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 wiil then be able to perceive, it is to be hoped, how for Oppo,ition 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 u n d erstand why Lord JOHN, not allowed (as he s a id) to carry pro grass 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. Had 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 ever ruled the country. Now, and at all future times, the question will be—Why did Lord JOHN RUSSELL recommend a Protectionist instead of a Liberal successor ? Could there have been a faint hope that the finesse of 1851 would have been repeated, ir a nd that th e R USSELL -G REY -E LLIOT Ministry w ould have been replaced ? That was p oss ibl e, with Lord D 5Rn as Premier, impossible with Sir JAMES Posthurnz GRAHAM at the head of the Government.

Th Ministry through th ere never was an instance, as far as our Parliamentary history records, in which factious p e positton was so entirely set aside. The result was that, in finan ce , Mr. DISRAELI was allowed to bring forward and easily carry the Budget which Sir CHARLES WOOD bad prepared, and (to say nothing of minor enact ments) t h e 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 tho forbearance solicited by one party and gracefully grant e d by the other. The Session closed. A general election followed. Some striking changes took place. Many of the late Ministers did not obtain re-election. The chiefs of the Peelite section were " nowhere " blood ha -* Much new B been infused into the L ' whether it be egislature— good blood remains to be seen.

L or d DERBY, w a sweeping majority at his back, might Eussellize ith and which daily over the r e f orm is .called for; in his present condition, he must be a prompt, ,-. rational, and nerptic Reformer, or h e must fall. Between the two great parties in Parliament, the greater party of all—namely, THE PEOPLE - have some prospect of receiving the benefit of Justice. Whenever the 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 they mean to give next, or whether they contemplate not giving anything, is the mystery. Stand still they cannot. This they know, and, knowing it, can they dreamnf resisting progress ?We think not, —we think that they ought to assist it, and that they Will. In October, when the new Parliament assemble, tae Ministry will have to make a fall and formal decla ration of the principles upon which they purpose to govern th e country. They must be frank, exp li c it, and deci s i ve i n w h at t h ey say. Hitherto, t h e y have been reproached, in and ou t o f P ar li amen t, with the uncertainty and the shiftiogness of their political avowals. What use is it, while Mr. DISRAELI is lions, being Is2i millions in all. The account cur rent of the Treasury is 1332 millions, being an in grease of 14 millions during the month. Advances on Treasury bonds are only 25 millions, the State having paid off the other 25 millions due. The me tallic reserve, or rest, remains nearly as it was, at 6001 millions —the notes in circulation having in creased 4f millions, and now amounting to 622 millions. The improvement which took place in the price of public securities yesterday made further progress to-day.

(Signed) " The QUEEN. " The President of the Council of Ministers, __ 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 "'BLUETS frankly admit that they cannot re-animate a corpse ? These uncer tainties, these variations, these eccentricities may have served their purpose in hustings' speeches and post-prandial orations, hut a dread ordeal is at hand, and, when that comes,—literally putting the Minis try to "the question"—straightforward, decided, 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 I" 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, is a desperate and foolish contention for a mere name To repeal Free Trade wou ld 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 of 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 done, ought g ht and to dune reciui s r simply th row over P rotect i on as an exploded an d wholly untenable chim e ra. That that wthiellrehcaavnen, a o , tb c e l a ea n r y sftuagtuer,e,, andmistake upon it, Minis ters " no favour," exce pt w hat their conduct may obtain. They have much to do. Two pressi n g subjects are 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 want further revision, reduction, and equalization. The Excise duties are capable of great amendment. The land-tax must be adjusted—if it were fairly appor tioned and equalized, it would be better for the 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 head; 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 n ithing 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 tl - e 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 support nor sympathy when they fall. No better e pitaph need be graved on t h eir mausoleum than the homely one, imm or t a li zed by Tlioues Iri- GOLD SBY, of—" Serv e d '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 MIRAFLORES, 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 Gover nor of Madrid.

The PRESIDENT of the Republic was present, attended by General ROGUET. The troniteur publishes the following telegraphic dispatch : " THE SOUS-PREFECT OF VALENCIENNES TO THE MI NISTER OF THE INTERIOR. " Valenciennes, 12th August, half-past two o'clock, P.M. "The followingis 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 Prince 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) an 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 Aloniteur publishes the dispatch of the under prefect is certainly not calculated to discourage the expression of similar wishes.

We have just learned that this envoy is Prince 11onxisLonz, one of the personag es w h o i s h onoure d with the confidence of the POPE. 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, M. Vox BRIM; 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. Vox BRUNT 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 d oes not appear to i t t h e most opportune for the nomi nat i on of suc h an envoy. A llus i on is here supposed t o b e ma d e t o th e s t a t e o f thi ngs i n B osn i a, respecti ng which our Government has besides ad dressed a special note to the Porte. DENMARK.

Copenhagen sends nine Members. Of these, eight belong t o t h e Nat i onal party—Professor WILKENS, Consul IJ AGE (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 RABEN (a man of solid acquire ments and rare integrity); Councillor of Justice CASSE, and Captain• Lieutenant TUXEN. The ninth deputy belongs to the whole-State party, and is a member of the present Cabinet, MArine Minister STEEN BIELE ; but he was elected fur a naval district where Government influence is immense, the Woolwich of Copenhagen ; besides which he gave the strongest assurances of respect for the Constitution. Among the old Members not elected in the pro vinces are Gnuenevio and Professor KRIEGER (the CARDWELL of Denmark). The former was not a candidate this Diet, as he wishes to devote all his time and energies to the important " History of the Church," on which he is engaged. The latter fell before a combination of the Aristocrat and Peasant parties—the white and red extremes. But he is too distinguished and necessary a man to be spared in the House, and will doubtless be elected in the first va cancy that occurs.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. 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 great activity owing to the unfavourable ac counts from Patras and Zlnte. Tea has gone steadily at the public sales. The business 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 accountel for by the additional sum paid in as public deposits, but that there was as much withdrawn on private account, a great deal of which must have been taken in specie, and therefore notes in proporti')n were added to the reserve.
