According to Grosso, 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 neve r 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 w hi c h appears to have been acted upon throughout his political career by Lord JOHN RUSSELL. During the period of his continuance in office the ex-Premier always contrived to fence his policy round with a sort o f impenetrable chevaux-de-frieze of reservations. Withi a their limits the " vulgar herd" of his sup txters were never admitted ; and to this circum stance, we conceive, is mainly attributable the isolated Pfoollintialarnin% i which the Noble Lord has always cus tomary f placed in moments of more than cus test the emergency,sta Whenever a crisis arrived to so happened th-as.°tri,ll.l'. Administration, it invariably enabled to rally roun q , late Prime Miniater was on ly were dependent up on placenit'n whose for tunesiC,Z,the maintenanc e of his G o vernment.

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 RUSSELL 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. How 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 for 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 districts ? How about the rational carrying out of the wished for scheme of retrenchment ? How about the currency ? About Ireland ? About the Criminal Code? About the 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 tent questions, and looking for their elucidation to the fruits of the Ministerial labours of Lord Jonx RUSSELL and his colleagues—we can discern on all sides little more than the most deplorable evidence of indolence and procrastination. The people of England are as far off as ever from the chance of enjoying any comprehensive system of a really na tional and not sectarian system of educati on . Of sanitary innovations we have heard, no doubt, more than enough, but as yet the public knows little more iu 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 Rerorincrs 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, but to the veteran representative of Montrose, and to the . non-interference of the existing Government. Then, as to the ballot, although it was called, in official' slang, an open question" under the W hi g s, 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 period 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 bow 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 its 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, boundlesq, irnrneasureable—has been more than realised. ALADDIN'S lamp has ap parently been brought to light in the nineteenth cen tury, and the 13105; 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 ve ssel 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 exceeded R a s ° , , means exaggerated , e pseubrpsuop,tn,lpidaelicesgfkv.ugareltlxnienyTed.so;:if,coea,ocrrtubcpebrireeadldol, localities,we, the fi nd 3.71'11113g reality ; nor is the supply limited to a i : gie district.

Let us now consider tha 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 O giv o e . t ; the Alert, the details : The Melbourne brought 200,01 128,000/. ; 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 establi , thed a w ee kl y eceiving gold from t he miners and conveyance for r bringing it to Melbourne or Geelong. They re fuse, however, to guarentee its safe deli,. LONDON, very, and as they charge the enormous sum of one per cent. carriage for a distance of from seventy to seventy-five mile!, 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. 19tb, 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 86,061 ounces ; and if we take the esti mate that one-fourth(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 3/. 17s. 6d. per ounce, would make the value no less than 1,275,415/., 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 8001. for three weeks' work," and CHARLES ROBERTS, late drayman to Messrs. CAMPBELL and Co., returning with 1,1001. as his share of five weeks' digging." There are also accounts of three specimens 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 sold for 1,3001. Now, although it cannot be supposed that the general body would prove so fortunate as the lucky individuals above referred to, it appears that from four to five ounces per week may be looked on as about the average collection. 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 astonish si nitgalualanbtiotuiers of ff solitaryg d have iindividual d b v i e d n u a lobtainedworking n b g y wthitehutnhe coarsest tools ; what, then, may be anticipated from the combined exertions of carefully selected and ex first-rate machinery and e p v e e r i r e y n c r e e d q umisiinteerflpoobsstaesinsiinngg 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 in another column, sent off the remainder of their st a ff f rom Gravesend, per the Gipsy Queen, on the 6th instant. We believe that other companies have either made or are actively engaged in making similar efforts. What, then, will be the affect 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 hare 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.

At regulating the course e The Illoniteur contains the following satisfactory statement : " The indirect revenue increases with th e most re markable rapidity. The receipts for Jan uar y , 1852, had been inferior to those of 1851. The receip ts for Fe bruary, 1852, exceed those of 1851 by 2,000,000 f. The i E i, in rt ofte receipts for March, 1852, exceed those of March, 1851, by nearly 5,000,000 f. This rapid increase is a striking sign of the revival of business, and of the development of work. Amongst these elements the registry duties are particularly to bo remarked; 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 1,500,000 f." The Unio* says : " It appears certain that the grand review which was spoken of for the beginning of May , will take place on 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 do Mars. The various regiments will be represented by the colonel, a chef de tatailion, 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, hes 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 Haut 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. EssILE DE GIRARDIN has received a formal notice of warning from the Minister of Police on the subject of his series of articles, which, under the title of " Conservons la Republique," have attracted a large share of public attention. The following is the form of the warning given by a ttentat the Minister of General Police to the responsible editor of the Presse:— " Tho Minister General of Police, considering Art. 1852, 3 2 of the organic law on the press, dated 17th February, `• Considering the article published. in the Presse , on (the Empire) would be the direct provocation to an the 9th jest , which contains the following passage:— It for if -' no Alibaud was to be found in the Republican Part y , a Merino would be found in the Royalist party.' , which probably would not be long waited for; Th egaid article signed 6 Emile do Girardin. outragingcuidering that it cannot be permitted, without cha racter of theinevitable fact an attentattoproclaim as an on nation, . at the same time public morals and the may be the periodical which 50 on lyetexts or hypothetical circumstances on the person of the chief of the State, whatever " Considering an argument is founded; moderation prof e editor. prudence are the first laws of the decree of Feb. press ; that the Presse has thus forgotten that. ..

On the let he arrived at Come, 35 out of 185 prisoners were released, and before quitting the prison they all signed a formal engagement to renounce for ever all Po litical,intrigues. On the 2d the general arrived at Cla mecy, but where; from the gravity of the charges against them, only 52 out of 592 prisoners were considered deserving of clemency. The general, during his mission, has directed the clemency of the Prince President more particularly ou poor and ignorant men, fathers of fami lies, and sons of aged parents, at the same time that he has given pecuniary assistance to the wives and children of such as still remain in confinement." " A decree," says the Public," is shortly to fix the period of the new elections in the place of General CAVAIGNAC, M. CARROT, M. HERON, and M. RE' NOVARA who have given in their resignation as mem bers of the Legislative Body." We read in the Public:—"Art. 24 of the new Con stitution declares that the sittings of the Senate are not to be public. A journal states that the Senate intends publishing the minutes of its sittings in the manner adopted by the Legislative Body. We can affirm that the assertion of the journal in question is quite erroneous." The article for which the Corsaire was seized on Wednesday is entitled, "Petit Di a l ogue sur d e tres petites choses." The writer of it and the responsible editor of the paper are to be prosecuted for exciting to hatred and contempt of the Government." - BUSINESS DONE DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE, APRIL 10.

It is confidently believed in Vienna that the death of Prince SCHWARZENBERG will not cause any change in the internal or the foreign policy of Austria. The fortifying of thi s c i ty i s a gain under lively discussion, the pr o j ect f ormer l y en t e rtained of the establishment of an enormous arsena l has 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 MICHAEL. The Prussian Gazette publishes the following tele graphic dispatch, dated Vienna, 6th inst.:— Count Buol, Austrian Ambassador in London, is named Minister of Foreign Affairs; Baron Werner is charged with the direction of that department until the installation of the new Minister." Letters' from Hanover state that the Ministerial crisis will be solved by the resignation of MM. DE BORRIES and ON DER DECKEN, while M. DE SCHEELE and MM. BACMEISTER 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 Barbarossa, 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 750-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 puniehraents. The German Journal of Frankfort states that the Diplomatic Congress at Darmstadt, on the subject of the Congress of the Zoliverein, 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 Carlsruhe 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. MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 12, 1852, TURKE Y.

Bars are in very moderate demand, but the price is considerably firmer. Scotch Pigs are a shade lower in price. The efforts made in Wales and Scotland to bring about a reduction of the make have, as yet, ended in no result, nor does there seem much chance of any such arrangement being adopted at present. Copper is firm in price and in fair demand. Tin—English has been lowered in price during the month, in all ss. per cwt. on block and bar, and at 7s. per cwt. on refined. Foreign has been influenced in a slight degree, and is now firm at our quotations. Tin plates in very moderate request. Lead has been in good demand, and prices are firm. Spelter declined in price in the early part of the month, and business was done as low as 14!. 2s. 6d., and 14/. ss. It is now fi rm a t our quotations.

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, Ste., previous to her departure. The party were selected by Captain W. Richards, o f Redrutb, 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. Its several clauses will furnish matter for more particu lar 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 aro generally understood to be the true interests of the colony. The justice of our claim upon the Sydney Government, the amendment of the Postage 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 : tariff, 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 source 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 para graph:—" The following intelligence has been communi cated to us by a private letter from Adelaide. It is from a gentleman most likely to give correct information on the subject, and can therefore be r e li e d upon :—The most authentic discovery in gold yet made here is b y some German miners, on the border s o f the province, in is not i to kn P n o w r: n t your direction, probably the quartz count ry, at th e h ead of the Glenelg.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAT.) CORN EXCHANGE—MONDAY . Nearly the whole of the country markets, held 0 1 S a ; turday, were but moderately supplied with Wheatt.l o, the demand for all kinds ruled heavy, at droopinit Pr ieo a Fine Barley was held at previous rates; but grindi . n g $ distilling sorts were easier to purchase. Malt dull; - 0 good heavy Oats were quite as dear. Beans, Pe 0 Flour commanded very littl e a tt en ti o n. Thee 4durei trade in Fiance has become heavy, a t f ur th er d e prel im , rates. In the Baltic and Black Sea ports v, irY ‘, transactions have lately taken place on Engli s h a a eon The Dutch, Belgian, and American mark e t s , h a` 'e bet( heavy in the extreme. Very m o d era t e su pplies English Grain arrived up to our market last' 10E3 4 From abroad we received 5,131 quarters o f VO A ' 5,035 Barley, 10,659 Oats, 2,948 Tare s , 4,281 Lattle,ra; 3,140 Rapeseed, 15 sundry Seeds; 2,318 sacks and be"' barrels of Flour. The supply of Wheat received fresh up to tbis 1 11 1: ing's market, from Rent, was ver y mo d erate, but in fro,, cellent condition. From Essex, Norfolk, Suffolk, ',b e the receipts were limited. By land carriage from . I ' l , midland districts, the arrivals were far from extenol Ass comparativ the total show of samples of both red and white / f r o comparativ .iy small, and we may observe that se e the of the cargoes reported last week went direct into '',..,j hands of the millers, The attendance of both town i t .' l3 country buyers being small, and the pressure of foreig ; Flour rather heavy, the demand for all kinds of Virile ° of home produce was in a very inactive state. Hoc ever, the finest samples changed hands at last Mondsi„ prices; but, in some instances, the value of low and MP dling qualities was the turn in favour of dealers. , „ Very little fresh Foreign Whe a t was b rought O , h, ward, and the sho w o f samp l es ex-granary was liteiteu:s For all kinds the d eman d b oth for home use and exPtc ruled exceedingly hea v y, an d t h e quotations were ne st to nominal. The arrival of floating cargoes off the coast is sod To-day Egypti an Wh eat has realised 28s per quar tet' all charges included. Scarcely any English , Barley was on offer, but ti.. show of F ore i gn was seasonably good. Picked quelt fit for malti ng sold at very full cur renc i es . In gri",34 ing and di s till ing sorts very few transactions were • ported at late figures. Malt wa s i n mo d erate supply and sluggish inqu.; r. 7.0 ' at unaltered quotations. Th e quan ti ty ready for d e live r y was small. Good sound O a t s moved off steadily at late figtireo, ~e s but all other ki n d s comman d ed very little attention, J the quotations were supported. Beans, though in short supply, moved off slowly .1 barely late figures. het Grey and Maple Peas were h e ld at f ull prices, white qualites met a dull inquiry. Indian Corn was quite neglected. The Flour trade wa s d u ll, b ut no change took plac e - the value of any kind.
