It is gratifying to observe that additional proofs of his capacity have recently been afforded by the Noble Earl at the bead of the present Government. Unfortunately, however, these evidences of superior judgment have referred less to the skill required in the labours of administration, than to the discernment imperatively requisite in the distribution of the more coveted badges of honour, and of those offices which are the most peculiarly characterised by the mingled attributes of power and responsibility. Further than this the testimonies to which we are here alluding todtild scarcely go, prior to the long and anxiously expe,cted revelation of the Ministerial p o licy on the assemblage of the newly-elected Parliament. Until an the nation cannot look to the Danny Cabinet for the exercise of the more delicate and, difficult tune time devolving upon the rulers of England, in obedience to the complex working of the exquisitely balanced machinery of her Constitution. Until the 1 views of that Cabinet have been delibe;, tely and minutely explained the people of the United King' . dome cannot reasonably anticipate the commencement of those endeavours at legislative improvement which oan alone tend.to consolidate the fabric of an Adminis tration. All that can be required by the community, be fore then, from the Earl of DERBY and his colleagues, is the judicious regulation of those duties which con duce to the ordinary, or, as we may correctly term them, the elementary operations of government. Those duties, we mean, of conserving the public peace without inte rrup ti on , of securing the inviolability of the laws, and of so conducting the intercourse of the State with foreign powers as to assure the mainte inance of international tranquillity. Forinasmuch as the existing Ministry have acted in these respects creditably to themselves and satisfactorily to the po pulation, they have dissipated many of the fears en tertained in their regard by the conscientious and un prejudiced members of the Opposition. The country is, in this manner, prepared to await the disclosure of tbe'ultimate intentions of the Cabinet in a mood somewhat more encouraging than could have been anticipated in February by even the most sanguine among the many hopeful supporters of the Administration. Meanwhile, in ad dition to the last mentioned of the Ministerial claims upon the popular consideration, there are, as before intimated, those recent and, as it were, sup plementary tokens of the capacity of the PRIME MI NISTER, which are discernible in his very skilful se lection in one quarter of the individuals best entitled to some honourable evidence of distinction, and in another of those most happily suited to some onerous and elevated appointment. were in the act of deploying. Previously—at the battle of Fuentes d'Onore—while gallantly leading the Allied cavalry against the enemy, General CHARLES STEWART took prisoner in the nage, with his own hand, LAMOTTE, the Colonel of one of the French regiments. His ability in conducting nego tiations of very considerable importance was no less conspicuously displayed than his gal lantry in actual conflict. It is not forgotten by any of the historians of those stirring times, that it was Sir CHARLES STEWART who, in the April of 1813, on being sent to the north of Germany by the British Government for the purpose of accelerating the conclusion of a regular treaty between Prussia and Great Britain, induced the Berlin Cabinet to consent to the terms of the coalition. It was Sir CHARLES STEWART, moreover, who with _Pomo DI BORGO contrived in the same year, by what one annalist has termed their " able and courteous efforts," to overcome the formidable vacillation of the Crown Prince of Sweden—BERNADOTTE. It was Sir CHARLES STEWART who, with four other diplomatists of sufficient celebrity—with HARDENBERG, ABER DEEN, D'ANSTETT, and METTERNlCH—accomplished the almost bewildering task of reconciling the con flicting jesdousies and opposing interests which continued for a long while rife at the Allied head-quarters. Speaking of the deter mination and skill with which Sir CHARLES STEWART and Pozzo DI BORGO combatted the evils resulting from the changeable temperament of BER NADOTTE, Sir ARCHIBALD ALISON observes that " for tunately for the allies their interests were at this juncture supported at the head-quarters of the Prince Royal of Sweden by men whose discernment showed them where the decisive point lay, and whose moral courage rendered them equal to the task of enforcing it upon the commander." Happily for the British Envoy he was empowered at this period to speak with more that accustomed authority—directing as he did the disbursements of the British subsidies. Happily for England he was capable of employing that au thority with more than ordinary vigour, and as was. shown by the event, with more than usual efficiency. In testimony of the resolution and adroitness of the course pursued at this momentous crisis by Sir CHARLES STEWART, it is only necessary to refer to the written remonstrances addressed by , him to the Crown Prince of SWEDEN—those remon strances " penned with respect but military frank ness, and breathing a warm but not undeserved spirit of patriotic; indignation," which Sir ARCHIBALD ALISON has declared " remain enduring monuments both of the tortuous policy of BERNADOTTE at that period, and of the clear military discernment and un flinching moral courage of the Marquis of LONDON.. DERRY." Additional testimonies of a similar de scription might: readily be adduced from the pages of history—but it is surely enough to call that one other to the popular remembrance by which Sir CHARLES STEWART, in preventing a capitulation being granted to DAVOUST and the garrison of Hamburgb, secured the Allies from the perils that must inevitably have resulted—perils which the annalist of Europe asserts " might have entirely changed the fate of the war next spring ill France"—from the restoration of twenty-five thousand veteran troops to the standards of NAPOLEON ! :It is by a graceful and appropriate selection, therefore, which the people of England cannot fail to appreciate, that the brother of Viscount CASTLEREAGH—'the brother of the Prime Minister who placed Sir ARTHUR WELLESLEY at the head of the British forces; in Portugal—has been named to the vacant Garter immediately upon the death of the Duke of WELLLNGTON. Bearing in recollection the achievements of that great commander, and the very admirable manner in which those achievements were seconded by this prowess and the abilities of Sir CHARLES STEWKRT, we rest assured that the country will receive with, satisfaction the announcement that the high badges .of the first order of knighthood have been thus conferred by the SOVEREIGN upon the veteran Marquis of LONDONDERRY. Everybody—under the very peculiar circumstances of the case—has united in hailing with satisfaction the nomination of Viscount HARDINGE as the imme diate successor at the Horse Guards of his Grace the late Duke of WELLINGTON. Mere considerations of precedence have, for the time being, we , cannot but think wisely, been forgotten. It seems to have been admitted at once that the principal organizer of the Militia Bill would be conveniently welcomed at the present juncture as Commander-in- Chief — while his previous elevation to the rank of Master-General of the Ordnance appeared to have prepared the way for his probable, if not inevitable, promotion. Scarcely less unanimous have been the opinions expressed by all parties in reference to the other steps taken by Lord DERBY for the filling up of important vacancies—vacancies for the most part consequent upon the lamented death of the hero whose remains the nation is about to honour in a signal manner by the performance of solemn obsequies at the public expense under the dome of St. Paul's Cathedral. Simultaneously with the selection of worthy suc cessors to the appointments which we have above implied, and which it would have been altogether needless to have enumerated, the responsibility of awarding two Garters lately devolved upon the First Lora,of the Treasury—the:one vacant by the death of the Duke of HAMILTON, the other by the death of the Oldie of WELLINGTON. It may now beremarked that in thesist particulars, as in the others already specified, the Earl of DERBY has acquitted himself as becomes the leadbr of the British Government. Already by his proMptitude the PREMIER has rendered the requisite number complete by awarding to two of the most distinguished members of our nobility the dignity of admission to the most illustrious order of knighthood in all Christendom. Again, there are:the requisite twenty-four names enrolled under that of the SOVEREIGN as upon the occasion of its first ,insti tution in 1348—upwards of five hundred years ago— when the gallant and chivalric Court of the Third EDWARD was first dazzled by the embroidered splendours of the cloak, and the tunic, and the su perticnic hood, and the two jupons, all powdered with garters—when the varying motto of the order was DOW— On Thursday ;afternoon, at the launch of an Aus ridian emigration ship, at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, " It. is. as. it. ia." some remarks were made by Mr. W.

After "Hay, hay, the wythe swan, glancing at certain mercantile matters to which the By Godes souls I am thy man," Government should attend—such as the system of emblazoned on the royal shield when his MAJESTY Consulate abroad, the Trinity-house, and the Dover proceeded in state to the City of Oxford ; and yet at and Ramsgate dues—Mr. LINDSAY added, " And another time, upon EDWA.B,DIS return from the coati- now that the great General who held the office of vent,' that quaint old inscription " bony soit q.

Deere is no reason whatever why of the arms of Great Britain must be directly trace: the Wardenship, moderately remunerated, should able—and it appears consequently but reasonable that not be taken by the Earl of DERBY.

Moreover, we venture directing the deetinies of the continent should be to predict—from the Noble Earl's known liberality— chosen to succeed to the vacant Garter—among the that his occasional occupancy of Weimer Castle would most cherished prizes won by his keen sword, the very materially 'benefit Dover and other places in its guerdon of ligireTeubtable achievem en t s .

What those services are the world has long since learnt n Nothing to do, and well-paid for doing it," is t h r ough the records of \ its military historian: Se- the well-known definition of a sinecure. The time lected by Sir ARTHUR WELLESLEY to accompany him is f as t approaching, we trust, when, as every do on h i s a ppointment to the command of the English nothing and receive-much office becomes vacant, it forces in Portugal, the brother of Lord CASTLEREAGH will be left vacant. It is not by twopenny retrench -now the marquis of LONDONDERRY, but then simply i ments in the salaries of clerks that public economy is Sir CHARLES STEWART—never left the side of the to be carried in to practice. On the contrary, the future Duke of WELLINGTON throughout the long people who do the actual work are, for the most part, and stormy days when our troops were fighting in very inadequately paid.

Pretty pickings these ! Why, from, the time of CHARLES 11. until to-day, every drop of beer which has been brewed has raid its proportion of taxation to the income of the Ducal house of GRAFTON ! Were the excise duties to be abolished to-morrow (as they soon must be), we should have the Duke of GRAFTON coming forward and claiming compensation for the perpetual charge, which King CHARLES made on the public in favour of his family. This is only a solitary instance. Unfortunately, further examples might readily be given. We shall return to the subject; meanwhile, we are confident that Lord DERBY'S own sense of propriety will in duce him to take the Wardenship of the Cinque Ports under such restrictions as will render its emo luments within suitalle limits—as will render it ra ther an honorary thin a merely lucrative post. It has been the custom For the Prime Minister to take the situation when vmant, and there appears no rea son why, if the office is to be continued (and certain duties are attached t► it), the Earl of DERBY should be led, by any fah) delicacy, from following the practice of his prececessors, and himself becoming Warden, particularly when he can, at the same time, reduce the income to suitable limits. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have receivedthe Paris journals of yesterday. The telegraphic intelligence announces the arrival of the PRINCE PRESIDENT at Aix on the 29th. His pre sence at the ball given by the town was hailed with enthusiasm, and wit cries of "Viva l'Empereur !" Oa the 30th he arrived at Nismes at two o'clock, amid universal cris of " Vive l'Empereur 1" and " Vive Napoleon IL" The PRINCE PREIIDENT, on hearing of the disasters caused by the overfowing of the Rhine, sent 10,000 f. to the Minister of the Interior, to be divided among the sufferers by the inundation. Addresses of congratulation to Prince Louis NA- POLE(); on the lab discovery of the Marseilles plot, have been voted bya great number of towns through out the country. Amongst them are Toulon, Tou louse, Marseilles, iAmoges, Grasse, &c. The PRINCE PRESIDENT, before leaving Avignon, presented Mme. Ramourio, Mule. RAMEL, and Mme. COSTA DE BesTsucA, sisters and sister-in-law of the Prefect of the Vauclause, with different costly ar ticles of jewellery. The Courrier de Marseille has the following : " We must here point out an incident which shows the deep respect of Louis NAPOLEON for religion. The first stone having been laid in the cathedral here, he felt some scruple, at the moment he was about to speak to raise his voice in a temple devoted to prayer, where the ministers at the altar have alone the right to publicly address the people. Our worthy prelate soon removed this excessive delicacy, and the PRINCE then uttered the speech which has been published. This fact does too much honour to the religious feelings of the PR3SIDENT for us to pass it over in silence." While he was at Marseilles the PRINCE admitted to an audience a de?utation of the Dames de la Halle. One of them, in ielivering her compliment in the language in use among her class, expressed a desire to soon see Louts NAPOLEON "Emperor and King of France and Navarre." O❑ the occasion of the 6th regiment of Light In fantry removing from the quarters they have recently occupied in Paris, to go into the forts of Rosny and Nogent, the officers of the 43d regiment invited their comrades of that regiment and of the others of the Ist brigade of the 3d division of the army of Paris to meet them, and clink some bowls of punch. The bust of the PRINCE PRESIDENT, surrounded with flowers, was placed in the room in which they assem bled. General LEvessEun, commanding the division, was present, and gare the health of the PRINCE, which was drunk with enthusiasm, amidst loud cries of " Vive Napoleon I' " Vive l'Empereur !" Other toasts were afterwards given, and the evening passed off in the greatest conviviality. M. MOREL FATIO, the marine-painter, who arrived at Toulon in the Reine Hortense at the same time as the PRESIDENT, has been ordered to paint a picture representing the arrival of the Prince in the Napo lecn, convoyed by the whole fleet. M. JOURDAN, one of the editors of the Sicle, and M. SOUGERE, responsible editor of that journal, were on Thursday severally sentenced by the Tribunal of Correctional Police to a year's imprisonment, and I,ooofr. fine, for Laving written and published on the 11th August last, an article, entitled "Two sorts of Debtors," which contained the offences of exciting to hatred and contempt of the Government of the Re public, and of the publication of false news calculated to disturb public peace. In the night of the 20th ult., M. CHARCOPINAC, pupil at the Observatory at Marseilles, discovered a new planet in the constellation of Pisces ; at mid night its right ascension was 2 deg. 48 min., and its northern declination 1 deg. 46 min. On the 21st, at 10 hours 40 minutes, its right ascension was '2 deg. 36 min., and its declination 1 deg. 42 min.. It ap peared like a star of the ninth magnitude. The director of the Observatory has proposed to call it Massilia, and to designate it by the symbol (20), characteristic of the rank of his discovery. This being settling day at the Bourse, there was not much business transacted except in the arrangement of accounts.

GERMANY. We read in the Journal de Frankfort:—" In con sequence of an arrangement concluded between Austria and the States of the Church, the former is to receive an indemnity of 500,000 florins for the occupation of some of the legations by the Imperial troops." Tne Universal German Gazette states that Saxony, the Grand Duchy of Hesse, and the Duchy of Nas sau, have ratified the reply of Munich. The ratifi cations of the other powers were expected to arrive without delay, that of Baden being however doubtful. The King of PRUSSIA returned on the 27th ult. to Sans-Souci, from his visit to Oldenburg. M. DE IVIANTEUFFEL, the President of the Council, waited on his MAJESTY and transacted business with him. The KING afterwards left for Muskau, accompanied by the Prince of PRUSSIA. In that place his MAJESTY was to have an interview with the Prince Royal of HOLLAND ; and the Prince of PRUSSIA was after wards to go to Weimar. The provincial States of Pomerania in Prussia, in their last sitting, agreed to an address to the KING expressing their satisfaction at his firm policy in the Customs' question, and at his categorical declaration to the allies of the 7th ult. His MAJESTY, the ad dress added, has thereby restored the dignity of the Crown, and protected the interests of the country. The Provincial States of Eastern Prussia adopted in their recent sitting an address to the KING, praying that the import duty on raw iron should be abolished, and that on bar iron reduced to one-third. A letter from Vienna of the 25th ult., in a Berlin journal, says :—" It is said that Field-Marshal Ra- DETZKI intends to retire from active service to his villa at Kaybach. The death of the Duke of WEL LINGTON, has, it is added, profoundly affected him. The subscription opened for the construction of a fri gate to bear RADETZKI'S name, does not advance ; and it said that the committee intends to make over to the Government the sums already received, that it may employ them in building a monument in honour of this distinguished soldier." A letter from Vienna states that on the 18th ult. Ge neral DE L'ETANG and Colonel CALMER, who had been sent by the French Government to be present at the military manoeuvres directed by the EMPEROR in person, were entertained at dinner by Count DE BUOL. These two officers, the letter states, have met with most friendly receptions at Vienna. The Weimar Gazelle states that M. LEIDENDORFF, a rich German, who died lately at Paris, has founded a perpetual annuity of 1,500 f. in favour of the male descendants in direct line of the celebrated poet SCHILLER, who died at Weimar in 1805. A letter from Munich, 25th ult., gives the fol lowing account of the progress of the public buildings ordered by the late KING The triumphal arch of the Rue St. Louis is finished, and workmen are now raising to their places the four lions in bronze, which, notwithstanding their colossal proportions, are only a minature of those of Sainte THERESE. At the new Pinakotheque (picture gallery), the works are rapidly advancing, and the painting, both within and without, has been commenced. All the stones intended for the construction of the Propylee are prepared, and the sculptures on the front of that monument are in the course of execution. The Temple of Glory, at Kelheim, has been erected. The escutcheons which are to decorate the four façades have been already cast, and there only remain some few external decorations to be finished, and some few statues to be placed in their niches in the inside. In the Throne-room of the Royal Palace, M. HITTER. BERGER is engaged in painting in fresco the subjects of the Odyssey, of which SCHWARTHALER composed the cartoons. The present linso,on his part, has had a new street opened from the palace to the Rue St. Louis. The houses on either side of this street will be separated one from the other by gardens. It will form a right angle with the river Isar." ITALY. The Royal Court of Florence, in its sitting of the 24th ult., gave its decision on the late application of the counsel for the defence in the case of GUERAZZI and others. The decision was so far favourable that it admitted the reading of the documents proposed by the defence, but only after the examination of the prisoners. The public prosecutor afterwards read an official note on the life and political acts of GUER RAZZI, previous to the events of 1848. GUERRAZZI being then called u p on t o g ive explanations on the contents of the said note, did so, answering negatively to each of the allegations of the public prosecutor. It was remarked on this occasion that the Court list ened to GUERAZZI without interrupting him, although he often entered into matters not immediately con nected with the question. This courtesy has had a favourable effect upon public opinion. The Courrier des Alpes says : " The Count de Sambuy, our Ambassador at Rome, has not gone to Paris on personal business, as announced by the official Gazette of Chambery, bat to personally solicit Monseigneur Charvaz, the intended Archbishop of Genoa, to proceed to Rome to renew the negotiations or to prevent their being broken off. Monseigneur Charvaz at first hesitated, but on receiving a letter from Cardinal Antonelli he decided on setting off, and we are assured that he has actually left."

EXPRESS TRAINS UPON THELONDON AN D NORTH WESTERN RAILWAY. —The journey of the passengers by the m orning express trains from Birmingham to the Cit y h ss been expedited by the running of an express train from the Camden station to Fenchurch-street, over the East and West India Dock Junction line. The time usually occupied by the express trains from Birmingham to the Camden station is two hours and thirty-three minutes. Upon the arrival at the latter place the passengers leave by the express over th e Dock Junction line, and make th e journey to Fenchurch street in from seventeen to twenty minutes; so that practi cally the express journey is now made from Birmingham into the heart of the City in about two hours and fifty minutes. Passengers starting from Birmingham by th e 7.30 morning express are, therefore, in Fenchurch-street about 10.30; and leaving by the 7.15 afternoon express, they would reach it a few minutes after ten o'clock. ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.—MT. George Buckland has just commenced his second lecture on Musical Varieties at this most excellent institution.

In the course of his entertainment he gave a new song, composed by Macfarren, on the death of the Duke of Wellington, which appeared to be highly appreciated by the audience. The whole of the selections were chosen with much judgment and care, and no doubt will become very popular.
