(From the Times) Only yesterday morning it was cenifidently reported in many quarters that the second Millais, Bill would follow the first, and that Lord John Reisell would atePlY evenge the manes ot his Own me asur i v en Mr. alpole's. As his Lordship is isiesumed by many to have lost his position by the me re , Occident or capr i ce of an hour, he bad only to lay hold of the prize, and it.o. would be once more in his posseasiola esea 61ha& been pet tish, he had been undecided, W he had by the sacrifice of displayed en excess of delicacy; but the fit Tfnectitemen off, Rouyn was Russell again. The evening, howeve r , brought the astounding result of a defeat, not by a bare a " working" majority, but by nearly t wo to one . Sel dom have there appeared in these colum ns fi gures mor e majority, or ports ntous than those which announce —for the second reading of the Ministerial Militia Bill, 315; for the amendment supported by Lord John Russell, 165; ma jority for Ministers, 150. Infatuated as we thought the course taken by his Lordship, and certain as it ap peared to alienate from him the best of his followers, we were not prepared , for a divi s i on which i n di..‘ eates, not so. much an extensive adhesion to the cause of the new Ministry, as a vote of censure on its principal opponent, Lord John Rtssell cannot which M in i sters fby makontents, lose but learn from it the very great difference b e t ween fee iibusness i n op p os ition, and the same q es e ty disguised a v e o e r os otn i e a t sanctioned obstacles,by, po power. The disposeT he ar of their virtue as well as their plausibility in the bands of mere political leaders; and the bolt which, burled from the Treasury bench, would have laid all his foes in the dust, is powerless from the hauds of the private adven turer, or the fallen chief. Bit' whatever the appearance, or the result of this divisi n, its highest and most uoquestioaable import is that the House of Commons, being assured by y the prin cipal authorities on all sides that something must be done to Improve the defences of the country, will not stultify itself by throe ing out, without as effort at im orov.-ment, the only measure of national defence before Parliament. The House of Commons is really not so much the, dope or the instrument of faction as to re solve that the country shall be left in a dangerous state merely that one circle of gentlemen m a y be set up and another pulled down by that patriotic resolution, So far the meaning of last ni g h t ' s division is rather negative than positive. We - are not to conclude, and should for our part be sorry to con clude, that the House will accept the Ministerial Bill in its raw state. That measure must evidently undergo considerable correction before it can meet the exigencies of the case, or correspond to the dignity of the British L. gislature. In passing the second reading, the House of C.eatnons did not express itself satisfied with the scheme of paying 80,000 fellows, no matter what they are or whence they come, a round sum of money to meet once a year for a three weeks' holiday, diversified with a few lessons in personal deportment, with about as much expectation'of being ever wanted to fight as of being required to encounter the shock of a comet or any other possible aggressor. The public and the Par liam,nt are pretty well agreed that so bald or impotent a conclusion is hardly worth theexpenditure of a million or two even in the present hopeful state of the national finauces. So we cannot doubt that after resolving on a Hill of one sort or another, by a majority of two to one, the House of Commons will now apply itself calmly, dispassionately, and considerately to the improvement of the present measure, neither rejecing it nor.sparing it on account of its authors, but taking it on its own merits. Ot all subjects there is none to be treated more care fully than that of the national defences, especially in the ca.e of this country, which has always been averse to play at war, and never will play at war, either by trifling and ridiculous measures or by excess of prepa ration. In that sentiment there appeared to be last night great unanimity, even between those moat opposed. Lord Seymour, by no means too ready to think for himself, voted against his chief in the hope of a good measure. The next speaker, a Moijor-General, supported the Bill, though with misgivings, and somewhat sternly weighed 80,000 militia wen with 150.000 real soldiers. Indeed, must of the speakers last night were honourably distin guished for a gravity and honesty of purpose, and there can be no doubt that many who voted in the majority did so at no coalmen sacrifice of personal feelings and party considerations, as little desirous to damage the ex-Minister as to assist the new one. The arguments of such men deserve more than common censideralion, and we have seldom read a deflate of so serious nod patriceic a tune. If, as we are apt to suppose, the Saco. lon of our contineetet neigh bours is fixed on the discussions of our senate, we cannot help thinking that when they y have got over their first innocent surprise at our internal divisions they will r , - cognise in the tone of those discussions, and particularly in such divisions as that of last night, a pledge of that deep unanimity which • really binds tooth , r all the hearts of this country, an d which would make us all unite to rep , I the invader. It iii very true that jealotu* obi.-fa may contend for power,' and that there may be found men in .our Senate who think it more necessary to defend themselves than their country , but that is n ot the general policy of the British ntry, Commons.lt 1 1 ,, Use of I was unite consequence of personal symp athies and anti • p-ithies, but rath er iu sate of them , tha t 315 men were e 8-‘" last ni g ht f oun d to pronounce , • ' st t name of that a seri o u s a g rea t project of national defence de served fair play. It is the vital cheraoter of the question which has reta-red it so disastrous to at least one pa rty chief. Bad it been a questi o n of l aw reform , or P arl iamentary r" form, or woation, or educatiese importa nt as these sub jects are, peii'ple could have waited quietly till the quarrel was settled. Bat this is a ease in which all men Dee a ure greed to describ on the p e. resence of danger which they hardly ire nt ' ever Maje st y was a dvised to open 'be session with an appe a l to the loyalty of her subjects .r, fresh natioreal defence. Unless seise peril beconfeesed, Lord John Rwseil's Own measur e would be a gratuitous nuisance. Mr. Roebuck, with 4 usual plainness of speech, stated the case truly enough when be described the ea:ion and the ruler against whose possible designs, end more than probable hostility, We bad to provide. It .is true that people are hourly saying to one another what they will not breathe la public. . We fear not for the Empiree—we fear not for our Constitution, or for our metropolis. We know the fate of any army small enough to land by surprise, if it should advance far enough inland to he surrounded by a British population—still more it it approached within sight o f the metropolis. Oa this point there is only one opiuion, es there is also one will among our . fellow-countrymen. But it, what is by-all means to be averted, a large hostile tortea should elude the vigilance of channel fleets, com manded perhaps by octogenarian admirals, then it is most desirable that the blow should be struck in the earliest possible stage of the invasion, before - the foe had laid waste our country, pillaged our towns, insulted our people, and destroyed the glorious prestige of invio lability which has hitherto graced and even protected our sail That is felt by all thoughtful and sensible people; they think that either some force should be creett d of a purely defensive character, or that at least our existing land and naval armament should be so dis posed as to render an invasion not only unsuccessful in its remelts, but impossible to-be even attempted. When that is the work to be done, good people are naturally shocked to find their rulers simply quarrelling for the honour of doing it. (From the Morning Advertiser.) We believe that never since the passing ot the Reform Bali did a division in the House of Commons cause greater surprise than that which was produced by the see of last night. The second reading of the Militia Bill was carried by a majority of 150 in a House con s-stung of 480 Members. We prepared our readers yesterday. for a majority in favour of the measure, but certainly we had not the remotest idea that it would be hall so large as it is. We can state with confi dence that, until it was ascertained that Lord Palmerston would s upport the measure, Mi nisters themselves were apprehensive of a defeat. But it was not until yesterday morning t h at it was ascertained that there would be a considerable majo rityi n t heir favour. It was the anti c i pation of this that deterr. d Sir Grey and Sir Charles George from speaking against the measure, as they fully in te,ded to do ; and the same consideration induced Mr. Disraeli to abstain from unnecessarily wasting his e i os qu nee on that which was su re to be carried so tri umphantly, without a syllable from him. But in what a pi Lor d John Russell placed The table plight is , es afte , r one of the leader ot the House of. (Ammo and most energetic of his tersest, most laboured, h h b W c succeeded him , speeches again" the"" 315 ! . to be in a minority, o t 165 t o This surely is to reach the lowest depth o t humi liation. And then as Palmerston, he is evidently the master of • egards Lard l o rd John by way of Ibe situation. He turned ou t and now be comes .to re tribution for expelling th e we think rescue of Lord Derby. In the latter respect, Lord .Palmerston is entirely wr ong. But of this more on another day. - The London and Westminster Bank have given notice that they will rodtv,e the interest allowed to their CliatOillerg gepoli4, to 00, to; 90 ito.4 Op 4, A46,y. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. REPORTED DEATH OF THE GRAND DUKE OF BADEN. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. No account, says Galigani, had been received by the German mail of yesterday of the death of the Grand Duke of BADEN, mentioned by the Public, but as the illoniteur announces that the intended ball at ,he Tuileries for this evening will not take place in consequence of the death of that Sovereign, there can be no doubt of the Government having received intel ligence of the event. Th© medical bulletin published at Carisruhe on the 24th announced that the GRAND DUKE had fallen into a state of stupor, and that no hope was entertained of his recovery. The Moniteztr publishes two decrees of the PRINCE PRESIDENT of.the Republic; one ordering that all officers, functionaries, and employes connected with the War Department shall take the oath prescribed by Art. 14 of the Constitution, within one month from the tat of May next; and the other ordering that the year 1851 shall reckon as a year of cam paign, with all the advantages attending such period of active service in the field, for all troops engaged in putting down disturbances after the 2d December last. The year 1851 is, therefore, to be counted with be nefit of campaign to the soldiers of all ranks and arms who were in garrison in the different localities in which hostilities broke out, or who had been called out to quell disturbances. Battalions or companies of no less than sixty-one regiments of all arms, with seven companies of the Etat Major, &c , are to enjoy the advantages of the decree for having put down the insurrection in the capital. A great number of other battalions and companies are spe cified as having quelled disturbances in several of the departments. Following this special boon to the army, there follow the customary couple of columns full of names of soldiers who have just beendecorated with the legion of honour and new medals. The -Mats gives the names of the five members who, on Monday last, voted against the Copper Coinage Bill. They are Messrs. Bouneau DE L'ECLUSE, CHARMER, GOUIN, KCENIGSWARTEE, and the Marquis DE MORTEMART, The first four names are the those of men practically skilled in monetary questions. ciu es.

The ports of Toulon, Rochfort, Brest, L'Orient, and Cherbourg will have their representatives at Paris. The Patric', in commenting on the manner in which French news is presented in foreign journals, is espe cially irate with a morning contemporary. It says— " The bad faith of Some English journals, as far as re gards Prince Louis Napoleon, is well known. There are no insults which they hesitate to print, in order to change public opinion in France towards him. We have a fresh proof of this in a note published by the Morning Chronicle on the subject of the visit recently made by the Prince to the Faubourg St. Antoine. Every one knows that the President was received by cries, a thousand times repeated, of Vire Napoleon I'—that no other cry was raised—and that an immense crowd gave him a complete ovation. The Chronicle does not, however, hesitate to affirm that the cry was exclusively Vivo la Republique,' and that the reception was far from b ein g enthusiastic. The hearty welcome given to Louis Napol eon in the Fau bourg St. Antoine , is a fact so notoriou s that we have c on s idered it necessary to quote this specimen o f the l y in g assertions put forth by the English journal against the elect of six millions of votes." The same journal says:—" We have reason to know that the Minister of General Police has signified to the pro prietors of foreign journals that they will be compelled to contraedict in their columns the false news which they may publish, under pain of having the entrance of their journals into France immediately prohibited." In confirmation of this, we find in the I ?dependance of Brussels, a Paris letter, which says:—" Foreign journals continue to be subjected to serious surveillance by the Ministry of General Police. The Paris col rsspondeet of the Cologne Gazette was on Friday summoned before M. Latour Demoulte, Director General of the Press, sod an article of that journal, calumniously insinuating that several members of the Legislative body received sub ventions from the Elr ea, was produced. An order was given him to deny that invention immediately, under pain of having the journal instantly interdicted. This measure is to be general; it has been decided that every foreign paper which does not at once rectify the errors or suppositions it may contain, shall be stopped at the Post-office, sad if this interdiction should not suffice, the correspondents are to be expelled." At the review on Sunday of the 2cl division of the army of Paris, composed of 15,000 men, infantry, cavalry, and artillery, under the command of General RENAULT, the PRINCE PfESIDENT, On going from and returning to the Elysee, was received with loud accla mations. A great crowd was collected on every point whence a. view could be obtained. The troops tiled off amidst loud cries of " Vive Napoli !" At the moment when the PRESIDENT was proceeding towards one of the entrances of the Court of the Tuileries his horse became restive, and it required all the superior horsemanship of the PRINCE to prevent his being thrown. A serious accident took place during the review. Captain Osmorm, aide-de-camp of General RENAULT, was thrown from his horse and broke his leg. He was immediately taken to the military hospital of Gros Caillou. The Emancipation of Brussles states in a Paris letter that the pay of the Marshals of France it to be raised to 40,0001. as under the Restoration. Under King Loins Puieirek it was 30,000 f. The commercial reports for the week agree in noticing signs of revived activity in most branches of business. The country does not appear to have suf fered so much as might have been feared from the want of rain. The wheat crops look well, the oats look a little languishing, and the barley has received some injury. The corn markets keep steady. The pieces of ten centimes coined in 1719 and 1768 contain 24 grammes of copper ; those coined in 1791 only 14 grammes; and those of the years V. and VII. 20 grammes ; consequently the average is about 19 grammes. The new pieces now about to be coined are to weigh only 10 grammes, and are to be com posed of 95 parts of copper, 4 of tin, and 1 of zinc. The cost of the coinage per se will be, it is calculated, 92c. the kilogramme. A pair of dies, one for each side, will suffice for about 40,000 coins. The whole amount of the new copper coinage is not to exceed the nominal value of the money called in. The decision of the Court of Paris on .Friday last in opposition to the demand of the Prefect of the Seine, in the case of the Orleans property, had again an unfa vourable effect on the Bourse, and the prices of public s e curities declined considerably.

We read the following in the Allgemeine Zeitung of the 23d inst : Neither the laws of the House of Baden of 1817, nor the Constitution, have made provision for the case of the establishing a Regency, and the GRAND DUKE has probably not inserted a clause in his will in this respect. Under these circumstances, the agn ates of w the House of B 4 den het have held a conference, at the Margrave Maws took the presidency. It hich was decided that on the demise of the GRAND DUKE the Hereditary Prince Louts shall be called to th© throne, and that Prince ' FREDERICK shall enc y, The oath be charged with the Reg of allegiance is to be taken to both Princes.

SPORTING NOTES. No. =IV. THE FIELDS FOR TO. MORROW'S RACES AT NEWMARKET,&c. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. '6l)---Yeaterday'at Acta awe on the w hole, of a very uninteiesting character , the principal feat ' being - victory of Harbinger over Rolando in the race for the 50 Sm. Stakes. The winner never gave his opponent the shadow of a chance, and won very easily by two lengths. This race, according to the reckoning of the backers of the Goodwood stable, was considered a har binger of their success in the Guineas with Homebrewed, who was forthwith elevated to the premiership, at 5 to 2. The 501. Plate was won in such a very ridiculous manner by Exeter, the stable companion of Maidstone, that the latter immediately received promotion in the Guineas' betting, from no price at all to 7 to 1, taken freely. In the matches, Nabob gave away the great difference of weight between him and his beaten antagonist Hugo, without difficulty, as he won very easily. The other match, between Palma filly and Fent morz, was won by the former; as Robinson, on Lord Clifden's horse, almost immediately atter starting met with a severe accident, through the horse swerving and the stirrup leather giving way, by which his thigh and collar-bone were broken, and it is supposed that one or two of the ribs are fractured. This mount of Robin son's, in all human probability, was his lest, and closed as brilliant a career as jockey ever had. To-morrow's list is on paper the strongest of the week, bat, as six are skeleton stakes, it is difficult to tell bow many will fill, as only one oat of four attained that end yesterday. The fields for the others are as follow: 50 Soya. Stakes. D. M.—Lord Enfield's Poodle, Bst 41b; Lord Exeter's Lens, Sat 41b; Mr. Payn e 's Glenluce, Bst 31b (d). 50 Sova.

Stakes, D.M.—Duko of Richmond's Har binger, Lord Exeter's Stockwell, Mr. Barnes's Qaeen Guinever (d), The first of these sweepstakes I consider to be a certainty for POODLE, Glenluce being the only opponent that he will have that possesses a chance. The second sweepstakes, I imagine. will be carried off by FRANTIC; and the third by HARBINGER. For the 1,000 Guineas, on the following day, it is not improbable, as Bay Rosalind is not quite the thing, being rather stout and doing very little work, and Glen luce on the queer list, that the best of Mr. Magenta's will turn out to be the winner. Lady Harriet I have heard nothing about, or I should have fancied her. lam in clined to think that Caloric is the best of lair. Magenis's couple.

This was opposed on behalf o f Mr. Simpson, the lessee, and the proprietors of the Theatre Royal; but, after_ a w two h ours' gearing : the magistrates wastasously agreed gag tu VZ-0 TAXES ON KNO WLE (From the Herald.) As the motion of Mr. Milder Gibson for repealing the ditty on paper will probably be revived at no great in terval, we think it necessary that the country should understand the tendency of that motion, and how its interests and our own, as publishers, are likely to be affected by it. We could have wished that for the pre sent the Member for Manchester had confined himself to one of the three grievances to which he referred. Had he not aimed at too much at once, he would probably have succeeded in his laudable exertions, and rendered signal service by removing some portion of those im posts which weigh so heavily on authors and publishers, and not least, upon the public. The excise upon paper reaches unquestionably to a greater extent than is generally imagined.. It is not merely the printer, or the stationer but the artist, the paper-stainer and paper-hanger who feel its effect; the parlour of the mechanic and wall of the cottage, as well cis the library of the student acid the table of the general reader, surfer from the tax. The reduction, there fore, of this class of duties would cot grtally benefit the puhisiter or earthen rihey are derived from so many small items, thee pria:er era: atelior would acareely draw any advantago fr o m t ee r e p e al ; tiro public none —or, at least, not won as i:ould be perceptible. An ordinary octavo, which now sells for his., and of which 500 copies are printed, would nut be reduced in cost 2d. by abo lishing the stamp upon paper. No benefit whatever would accrue to the atithor, es Mr. Milner Gibion sup posed. It would not put a couple of guineas more in his pueket. To tli heoks eller and newspaper proprietor the advantage would be trifling; the gains of the paper maker only would be extended, Led that not so much, perhaps, by irsereasing the e t estitity of paper required for printing, as by enabling him to manufacture and export to a inuce greater extent. As a considerable le venue, therefore, is d' rived from this item of the Excise, we consider that the Chancellor of the Exchequer, though not altogether unfavourable to Mr. Gibson's mo tion, was perfectly justified in refusing his fuller assent, until after the production of the Budget. The third division of the Right don. Member's mo tion (to the second we shall revert presently) aimed at the abolition of the stamp duty on newspapers. He showed that it had been the original design of that act to discourage immoral and seditious publications ; and that in this it had signally failed. The entire weight of the restriction had fallen entire more respectable portion of the daily and weekly journals. In proportion to the wish of the proprietors to render the press of this cotm try a great moral and political organ were the subject to inconvenience and annoyance,, which the libeller or the No one ca n f ee l proreetnx i ous than obicene atitiriet Mitt - aged easily to ;evade ourselves to ex press our gratitud e t o M r . Milner Gibson,senable o an. d f portance of the pre ss , are anxious to .ttoheotihm. other men of charact e r an d i n fl uence, who relieve it from un necessary burdens, and extend its usefulness. Though we may appear to speak in our case, dso far to be it partial, yet we fear n o t to assert that is h to overrate the influenc e o f th e dally p r essardly possible like our own. It is, therefore, incumbent in a co un t r y Government to adopt such me asures as e l sevearyt wise so important a body the greatest facilities in th - e -6 exer cise of their important and responsibl e f unct i ons.We 43 are furthermore convinced that that respectability is in creased as its influence is widened by the increase and widening of the circulation. In proportion as a jour nal rises above a small clique, and wins its wa y among a greater number of readers, it has a tendency to widen its sympathies, extend its views, and purify its aims and intentions. The history of the daily and weekly press of this country bears con ' tinual testimony to the truth of these assertions. It is manifested at the present moment in our cheap litera ture. And if the newspaper press of this country is im measurably superior in its moral tone, it its decorum, in its ability, to the Grub-street flying-sheets of a former century, that improvement is owing, not merely to the visible improvement of the people at large, in which the daily press'llas bad no small share, but also to the vast increase of the circulation of our journals, and to an in creasing desire on the part of the conductors and pro prietors of these journals to render them more worthy of the position they occupy and the part which they have to perform. But it must not be forgotten that whilst a visible im provement may he observed in this class of literature, very much of that improvement is due to the great lead ing journals of the day. The example set by them, and the tone by which they are pervaded, are quite as influ ential on the minor publications, as the information collected by them at vast expense, and the reports fur nished with such cost and activity, both of domestic and foreign events, are beneficial to the humbler classes of periodicals, which are mainly fed by their streams. Their interest, therefore, is in a great measure the in terest of the nation at large; and therefore it would not be desirable that their interest should be diminished or their influence contracted. Yet that such would be the result of the abolition of the stamp upon newspapers is unquestionable. That abolition would not benefit them in the least; the price of the newspapers would be reduced exactly the amount of the duty; that is, from sd. to 4d., too small a reduc tion to affect th e c i rcu l a tion. Bat the abolition of the stamp would be followed by a result positively injurious, the abolition of free transmission by post. This would be a serious disadvantage, as is very ably shown by Mr. M'Culloch:—" It has been propofed (he says) " to repeal the stamp duty on newspapers, and to pote in its 'need a charge of ld. on all newspapers sent by post. Its obvious tendettey would be to confine thet of newspapers to the tdatrieta within which they ore puldiahee, is tea as ell to be de sired. Were the procosee plan adopted, the charge for postage being eddied Lu the price of the metropulitan journals would make them decidedly dearer than the local papers, and people in very many, or rather perhaps in the great majority of instances, would be disposed to prefer the cheaper, though inferior. journal published at their door, to the superior, but dearer, journal of the capital." The revenue, inceed, would not suffer by the repeal. The difference would be made up by the in creased postage; but as the same newspaper is fre quently sent by different ports, the redaction of the stamp duty would rather act us a tax upon the public, and would have an undeniable tendency of limiting their free circulation. No such objection, however, can be urged .against the other division of Mr. Milner Gibson's motion—the re peal, that is, of the duty 'on advertisements. The whole of that duty does not amount to more than 160,6004 per annum, and is really so insignificant that we wonder any o bj ec tio n can be made to its abolition. Previously to the year 183 3 that duty was levied at 3s. 6d. In that to Is 6d. on all advertisements, long year it was reduced • or short, affecting a large or small amount of property. The servant advertising for a p lace, or the t utor, or the poor tradesman, or the l oser of a note, is subjected to the same tax as the merchant , the nobleman, or the auc tioneer. This is an inequality fal lin g with g reat injus tice on the poorer and more industrious classes. But this is not the only inequality; tiro tax weighs heavily on the newspapers, while advertising vans, omnibuses, and the thousand placards which disfigure our walls, are permitted to go free. It would, therefore, 3" be but • t that this tax should be abolished altogether. But if the Chancellor of the Exchequer considers the entire aboli tion of it too great a sacrifice, a reduction from ls. 6d. to 6d. would be of no inconsiderable service to the public and to the daily papers. Nor would the revenue incur l oss by the reduction. Indeed,any we are thoroughly convinced that it would be increased to a degree of which no other seduction, except that of the penny postage, would furnish a parallel. The diminution of the duty wt,uld lower not merely to an equal amount the price of a advertisements, bat newspaper proprietors wou l d be enabled to insert them at a less cost, beyond t h at proportion which is effected by the duty. Advertisers who now make use of one vehicle for the purpose of publication would extend their views to others, and the increase l in the number of advertisements would soo n sup ply, any defi c i ency caused by the an" reduction. y,and more than Already the revenue from the red uceu duty of Is. 6d. has risen to nearly the sa me amount as when that duty was 3s. 6d.; and a furth er reduction iswarrant ed past experi ence as well , the refore . , by as by considerations of justice.
