The Olympiad of England—the great race for the Deiby—reminds one to-day, by a natural association of ideas, of the most important political question of the hour, the stability or instability of the existing Government. Before another month has elapsed, the Parliament will, in all likelihood, have been dissolved. Such at least is the most generally received opinion, consequent upon the estimate that by the 20th of June the whole of the more imperative business of the session will have been accomplished. It behoves the various constituencies throughout the country, therefore, to bestir themselves betimes; and to the -Liberal electors in particular we would suggest the propriety of being more than ever cautious in the se lection of their respective candidates. There is some• thing more required from the Reformers of England, for example, than the adoption of the query sug gested by Sir JAMES GRAHAM, namely, " I 3 sucheati one a supporter or an opponent of Lord Denent's Cabinet ?" There is something more . than Party to be taken into account—there is Principle It would be as well, moreover, ' surely it would be as well to inquire not merely into the colour of the ribbons of a candidate, but also, and in an especial manner, into the pervading hue of his different prejudices and predilections. There is such a thing; for instance, as the Ballot—in regard to which it :night be advisable to, be a little more inqui sitive at the hinting!. Again there are topics no leis important than Retrenchments in the National Ex penditure, and arrangements :or a system of National Education, and alterations in the National Currency, and reforms, sanitary, fiscal, financial, colonial, elec toral, and of a variety of other descriptions upon which it would be judicious to be prepared as with an inexorable kind of portable catechism. Without some precautionary efforts hevirg this tendency to vigilance, the holders of the franchise ma 7 be in terfering, unintentionally, perhaps, but only too effectually, through mere indolence, with that great advance movement' which, during the last quarter of a century, has , been stabi litating the institutions and developing the , energies of the population by a wise and beneficent succession of strictly constitutional innovations. Among the reflections which should be uppermost in the mind of every Liberal elector, is that fruitful theme of meditation, that his vote will aid in the regulation for goad or for evil of the complicated and delicately organized machinery ,of the State---a reflection which should incite the possessor of the franchise to vote not according to caprice, 'or obe • dience to faction, but in rigid compliance with the sedate and unimpassioned- dictates of conscience. The duty devolvingcpon the peOple of the United King dom at those momentous epochs, the general elections, is one not to be lightlidischarged, as you would toss a halfpenny into the cap of a mountebank. It should rather be with the cautious premeditation of a man who has to deposit his scruple in one or other of the scales of justice, upon the poising of which the desti nies of an entire race may be said to be in a great measure dependent. A glance at the result of the last general electior, the general election of 1847, will be suggestive, we feel assured, of opinions calculated to prove not alto gether fruitless—acting, as the recollection of that result must do with the Liberal electors of England, as a direct and immediate incentive. It cannot be forgotten that when the Parliament now on the eve of dissolution first assembled, the two great parties into which the House of Commons was (through the lack of some more subtle and yet equally corn pre. hensive distinction) divided, were almost exactly balanced, numerically speaking, against each other. The Liberals numbered almost 327, and the Conser vatives about 324. This was immediately after the dissolution of a Parliament which had been returned in 1841, with a sweeping majority rigidly Conserva tive. If such was the consequence of the appeal to the country in 1847, when free trade, as a complete system, was still undeniably crude, what may we not reasonably anticipate in 1852, when free trade has ripened into a lasting policy, into a recog nised principle, the operation of which during the last ten, but more especially during the lest four years, has proved eminently beneficial ? True that, now-a-days, the Protectionists are in office under the leadership of the Earl of DERRY, wh ereas on the previous occasion the Free-traders held the reins of power under the guidance of Lord Jonte RUSSELL. Bat then—it must be borne, moreover, scrupulously in recollection, that though the Protece tionists ere in office they have formally abandoned Protection ! The CHANCELLOR of the Excemeuen took that course long ago, acting with the sagacity that might only be expected from a man of the people, whose abilities as a statesman had raised him to one of the most difficult and responsible posts of adminis ' tration. Even Mr. G. F. YOUNG allowed the folly of stillinsisting, in spite of all hazards, upon the renewal of imposts to the abolition of which the industrious inhabitants of these islands had at length become ac customed. Sir FITZROY KELLY alone had the hardi hood to insist upon the renewal of that accursed tax upon the food of the people which had been remitted by the generous hand of Sir ROBERT PEEL, in defiance of all the taunts of party, and in obedience to the heroic and self-sacrificing dictates of a patriotism based upon a spotless con science, and upon the noblest principles. The So- LICITOR-GENERAL was noisy, it is true, in insisting upon the necessity of reverting to the old corn•laws repealed in 1846, but Sir FITZROY KELLY has found his vapid declamation about the rival merits of Free Trade and Protection reduced to insignificance by the memorable avowal made only the evening before last, in the House ofLords, by the PRIME MINISTER of England—the avowal that the position of the Pro tectionists is as hopeless as that of the Free-traders is unassailable ! Therefore, the probability of suc cess to the Liberals throughout the majority of the constituencies is enhanced by the very circumstance of the agricultural party being in power at the mo ment of the Parliamentary dissolution, because that circumstance has elicited from the leaders of the Pro tectionists auguries of the triumph of their antagoe nists—drawing forth the already well-known state ment of the First Lord of the Treasury, and extort ing a panegyric on the system of commercial compe tition in the celebrated Free-trade Budget of the present CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. _ Everything, indeed, looks encouraging to the Liberals and Free-traders of the United Kingdom, now that we are standing as it were on the verge of the electioneering revelation. Common sense answers us that there is no mere claptrap or exaggera lihotalt has taken te a k asserting that the general election is likely to be more of 1852 namely, in • r w a e l n t y momentous election years of the four. its oh s . i a en 'ac I r e e than n ing a n th y e pa g s e t ne t Since the general election of 1832. Not one intervenin ga general elections, important though they have each been in their consequences, can be reg ar d ed as ascomparable in interest, or in in fluence, with that which tiien must be completed before the arrival of ening autumn. The general e l e ction of 1835, that of 1837, th a t o f 1841, an d t h at gg. of 1 847 , potent though tI2Q were in chan in the in Y legislation, m us t yi e ld in impor tance to that appeal to the coun try t h e nineteenth century, will decide by the of voicethe p' prof ImPlu, not , so much whether freetrade shall be hence forth triumphant (that questi on to resolved even accor ding the showing being already resolved the . existing Cabinet), but whether the administrative policy of this contirUl country shall be one of _ Progression or of revived Retrogression. Liberalism, w i t h c • onservatism as to all that is worth conserving ) offers itself on the one hand to the suffrgges of the Populatio n . C oaser vatism without Liberalism, Conservatism o f everything good, bad, or indifferent —Conservatism calli ng _ Free. dom "Anarchy," and Reform " Democracy i n its most dangerous attitude, that of wholesale and retail innovation"—will on the ot h e r, possibly, attempt t o lure the electors by the promise of peace, such as must ultimately prove to be °ply the paralysis of . (tc. , 7V 56L * 4„ • .., r 6 ,-• 0 , • 4.11- national decrepitude. Between the two, we cannot imagine to ourselves, that the more enlightened among the possessors of the franchise can very long remain undecided. Encouraged by the aspect of the future, encouraged by the prosperity revealed in the past, the Liberals must prepare themselves, at once and in earnest, to fulfil the dictates of their consciences and their patriotism.:, They must remember that the lan guage of encouragement has been virtually addressed to them even by the Noble Earl at the head of the present Government. Above all, they must remember that the increased promise of advantage to their cause, so far from justifying them in any diminution of activity, tends only, and that very considerably, to enforce their political duties and to enhance their electoral responsibilities. This day may fairly be pronounced to be par ex cellence the national holiday of--England. It is expressly honoured by the Chambers of the Le gislature as sacred to recreation. It witnesses a copious disemboguement of the metropolis to the breezy downs of Epsom, where every rank, crass, and age, is represented by an innumerable congregation of joyous spectators, determined to " make a day of it." High and low, rich and poor, Peer and peasant , alike pay their homage to the genius loci. True it is that, on the present occasion, the pleasurable antici pations of multitudes are, to a certain extent, literally " damped," for, even as we write, the envious firma ment is voiding its rheum with cutting bitterness from the bleak north-east.: But the unconquerable enterprise and pluck of JOHN BULL is not to be cowed by the angry elements, and we warrant it that road and rail will transport a host, numerous as our old friends the " leaves in Vallanabrose," exceed ing the ,population of man; a continental capital, not withstanding that " The morning lowed, and heavily with rain *ought in the day, the great, the important day, Big with the fate of DAVIS and the Ring." Those marvellous wights, the Sporting Prophets, era doubtless at this hour perspiring with anxiety as to the realization or confusion of their solemn vati cinations•; the minds of the layers and the takers of odds from the Leviathan down to the costermonger in his one-horse shay, are inspired with titillating soli citude. Is it LITTLE HARRY or CHILI BARON NI-. CEIOLSON, or the formidable HOBBIB himself, or some " dark" and deadly animal, whose victorious strides are to make the circa acing medium fly in large and rapid currents from the drained to the replenished pockets ? Profeosing little insight into Hippotrochical mysteries, we await the tidings of the important result with serene equanimity, proffer ing a gentle ardent aspiration, "May the best horse win !" But excellent and worthy of all support, as is the Na tional Sport of Horse- racing, there is one untoward cir cumstance to which it has given birth of late, which we seriously and sincerely deplore. The town is swarm ing with betting-shops throughout its length and breadth. It is all very well to say, " people are sup posed to be able to take care of their own affairs ; if they choose to make fools of themselves, dropping tit** money right and left, on this, that,' and t'uther—why, let them—si populus vult decipi, decipiatur." It, is, indeed, an even chance that 'after the coming off of any . leading event, half of the fungous list houses will shut up shop, and tho worthy proprietors vanish with the " swag," leaving their doilkeyfied dupes blaspheming in the lurch. But the crying evil of the matter lies in this, that a temptation lurks in every street and alley to induce lax-minded youngsters to gamble with the cash of their employere. Our readers may depend on it that many and many a sad scrape has been got into, and many a fair prospect blighted in this very way. It is becoming an intolerable nuisance, a foul canker in the commonwealth, that gangs of unknown penniless caitiffs are permitted to start up in every vacant spot, dragging the fair system of betting through the mire, and scattering broadcast the seeds of dishonesty and sorrow. The abomination has arrived at such a pass, that public indignation is at length beginning to be awakened. The public journals—and we would appeal especially to those of our respected weekly contemporaries who are staunch and honourable friends to the national sports—ought to take the matter up, and crush those men of straw. How such pests of society are to be put down—for put down they must(be—it is not within our compass now to suggest, but there is no local social evil that cannot be counteracted, if the adequate remedy be but resolutely applied. If the existing law be found insufficient the defect must be supplied, and the power of repression conferred must be carried into stringent operation in the proper quarters. The true patrons of the Turf ought to bestir themselves without delay, and purge the camp of such a scum of rascally marauders. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. There is an article in the Constitutionnel showing that the Government has resolved to make an experi ment of the free-trade principle, and that, at a mo ment when certain foreign journals represent it to be entertaining ideas of war, it is earnestly engaged in measures connected with international trade, which, without the maintenance of peace, would be impos sible. The experiment now proposed is not a very large one, but it is evidently too large to find much favour in the eyes of the Conslitutionnel, which is an advocate of the protectionist principle with all its pressure upon the great body of consumers. The Conslitutionnel endeavours, however, to a certain ex tent, to agree with the til-overnment; it will consent to the abolition of the prohibition principle, but only upon the condition that protection shall be afforded with a greater degree of certainty. The arguments of the Constitutionnel are those of the protective schobl generally. The PRESIDENT of the Republic, dressed in the grand costume of a Councillor of State, presided on Monday at a meeting of that body, to discuss the Bill on Public Instruction. He was accompanied by the Minister of State and the Ministers of the In terior, Justice, Finance, and Public Instruction, and General DI.PINASSE, his orderly officer. The. Coun cillors of States and the masters of requests alone took part in the deliberations ; the auditors were not admitted to the sitting, A ball will be given by the PRINCE PRESIDENT at the Elyfee on Thursday. All the invitations have already, been sent out, the small size of the apart ments rendering it necessary to restrict the number of guests within certain bounds. The Journal du Cher announces that three com munes of the Sologno have signed addresses to the PRINCE PRESIDENT to thank him for what his Go vernment has already done, and what it proposes to do for that part of the country. The provincial journals which arrived yesterday mention a great number of resignations of members of councils-general, councils of arrondissement, and municipal councils, to avoid taking the oath of alle giance. Amongst them are the Marquis DE BARTO-. LEM" and M. DUFAURE. The Lyons journals publish the following note : " The Prefect of the Rhone yesterday (Sunday) re marked, with surprise, that workmen were engaged on the repair of the road of Charpennes. He has given orders that, conformably to the ministerial circulars, the works shall be suspended on Sundays ancif'ite days." The Patric says: We are assured that it is pro posed to issue a - decree to prevent labour on Sunday, and to compel tradesmen to close their shops on that day and on the days of religious fetes." The journey of the PRESIDENT Of the :Republic to Channy is fixed for the month of September, at which time the camp will be, established at Com pßgne. It is said that a grand fat', which is to last three days, is to be given in August by the City of Paris and the National Guard. It is to commence, report says, on the 15th of that month. The sale of Count DE ZIORNY'S pictures took place on Monday, in one of the new auction-rooms in the Rue Drouot. A crowd of amateurs were present. The whole sum received was 305,885 f. Business commenced at the Bourse with an appear ance of briskness, but the prices of public securities de clined towards the close. The Four-and-a-Half per Cents.

A Madrid letter of the 2013 states that M. MEN DIZABLL, the ex-Minister, h,as published a kind of manifesto, in which he declar es himself with great energy against any violation of the Constitution.

GERMAN'Y. A letter from 13 , .:11in cf the 21st, in - the Ind6pen dance of Druesels, states that 3n the preceding day a Cabinet Council decided. that s,l le present Chambers shall not again be convoked, and that before the elec tions for a new Chamber a ne w electoral law for the formation of the First Cbamber shall be promulgated by the Crown, in conformity , with the Constitution. M. DE MANTEUITEL, 'however, was stated to be op posed to this decision, • and up to the 21st it had not received the sanction of the Kis - G. It was said that the First Chamber, when neN .1y constituted, will consist of 120 members-90 eT.,e cted by the largest tax payers in the different.elet:t oral districts, and 30 nominated by the municipalities of the great towns. M. Dv' , HECKEERErc, Senatf)t . of France, before leaving Vienna, had an intervi , sw with the Austrian Minister of Foreign Affairs. :He. subsequently pro ceeded to Berlin, and had on '.the 20th an interview with the President of the Ceuncil.

ITALY- The Pz'edmontese Gazette, o f the 22d, announces officially that MU. D'AZI.G/:.10, PALEOCAPA, and PEENATI, have renamed their respective portfolioi of Foreign Affairs, Public Works, and - Interior; that M. EONCOMPAGNI hag noel ited the department of Justice vacated by M. GALVA GNO ; and 141. CIBRARIO baa b"en anlcAl Minister of Finance in lieu of M. CAVOUR. Tte department of Public Instruction, lately held by N. FeurNr, is p rovisionally intrusted to M. EONCOMPAGNI. 141. LL:MARMORA retains the department of War, to which that of Marine is added. In the sitting of tie 21st of the Chamber of De puties of Turin, MM. CAVOUR: and FARM, the late Ministers, took their seats on the benches of the right. On the rubj ec t o f t h e l a t e ct ish, the Risiorgmento of Turin, a 3.dinisterial, paper, observes as follows: " The silence of M. Ratazzi, the conduct, votes, and acts of the Left Centre, lead us to believe that there is a material difference between the programme of the latter and that of the Marquis d'Azeglio. M. Ratezzi has re fuscil to adh ere to the l atter , iii order not to break his faith with th e L e f t C entre; 111. Ratazzi has therefore acted honourably, but he has tacitly admitted the exist ence of the difference; consequ tenth , M. Ratezzi cannot accept effice with the Mugu is d'Azeglio. Hence the crisis has not been , owing to personal antipathy or foolish jealousy, but to a real difference of principles." The Opiniom trusts that 'Count CAVOUR will, in his new position, employ his influence in cementing, not breaking u p, th e p re sent nujeritY ; and reminds him that his present importance is entirely owing to his having introduced important changes in the finan cial system.

The market closed firmly, and with animation. Fell prices were obtained for all kinds, and Sea Island was id. to Id. dearer. The sales comprised 14,000 American, 2,000 Pentane and Maranham at 6d. to 7*(1., 500 Egyptian at 6d. to Bd., 1,000 Surat at 31d. to 41d., and 50 Sea Island at ls. 4d. to 2s. per lb.—Railway Shares were flat. The steamer Baltic brings more specie from the United States, 185.000 dollars, and a large number of passen gers, that augurs most favourably for extended com mercial intercourse with Europe. Cotton was still ad vancing, but grain was dull. At the National Bank of Ireland meeting just held the net profits of 1851 were stated at 21,2831. 63.9 d. The report is satisfactory, and more of the bad debts have been written off, while the reserved fund has been increased. The tendency of Foreign Bills of Exchange yester day afternoon was rather to advance. Paris was taken at 25 65 to 67i, Amsterdam 12 2 to 2k, Ilemburgh 13 Ilk to and Trieste 12 12 to 12 40. The Austrian loan seems likely to be engrossed wholly by the Messrs. Rothschilds and the friends who feel bound by their intimate relations with them to take an interest in the same. The public . are perfectly apathetic in the matter, and the jobbers on the Stock Exchange manifest no anxiety to name a price. Under these circumstances it will rest with the " tact" of the firm to place the stock in strong bands, where it must be held rather as an investment than a security, out of which an im mediate and speculative profit can be obtained. We can readily understand that the contractors themselves should find an advantage in the operation, because they have an ample commission, but it is im possible to conceive that any individual acting as a free agent would take up the stock as a source of income, even with the attraction of payment in the precious metal at the places where the respective amounts are subscribed. Who,'we would ask, in sober earnestness, has a definite knowledge of the total amount of the Aus trian National Debt? Who can place confidence in a finan cial system fed by repeated loans, or in a revenue noto riously deficient? Who can believe that Austria will dispense with a large standing army, or re gard otherwise than as a mockery the few thousand florins just struck off the war budget? Finally, who would trust a Government that solemnly engages to pay in current coin, and substitutes paper enormously depreciated, that posts the agents of police at the gates of the Bourse, to coerce the capitalist seek ing to deal in bills according to the principle of supply and demand, that orders the arrest and transportation of respectable merchants and brokers that refuse to sub mit, and then employs its official income to bolster up the exchange to the ruin of those who simply believe the improvement will last ? It will need all the support the Emperor of Russia can give to enable Austria to meet its expenditure, and future loans are certain to be brought forward, if the present one is taken. The English Funds have been unsteady , and the quotations are not quite equal to those obtained , yester day, a few been made.

The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents• have been at 101 to 1011, and the Three per Cents. at Bank Stock is supported at 220 to 221, and I 9 u sidiatoStock at 272. The premium on the June Exche quer-bills has been 675. to 695. Foreign Securities have been flatter. Mexican Thre e per Cents. are not worth more than 241 :al, the Five per Cents. being 3 l ii. The news from the Re public is considered good, but ad vantage is t a k en of the limited business doing. Equador Bonds are firm at 4*. Nonlife.", has been done in Peruvian.

Dutch Two-and-a- Half per Cents, have been at 61i Railway Shame have been very depressed, and the carrying over of the account has occupied the brokers, and affected the quotations. The depression is extra ordinary in the present state of the Money Market, but there was about this time last year a nearly similar state of things, and, if we recollect rightly, a subsequent re action. French Shares have not varied to any extent. Mining Shares are steady both as regards Australian and California, bat not brisk. QUARTER TO THREE. ... 1 ... 991 Camels _ _ -- Ditto Account.
