It cannot be repeated too often, dour with which her 's MAJESTY that upon the ca n- Ministers recognise the necessities of the times are dependent their con tinuance in office and the consolidation of the exist ing Government. Hitherto the country has had no o . ?portunity whatever of estim.ting the intentions of' the Cabin e t so f a r as to conjecture with any degree o f een cy the nature of the polls)? about to be adven ture-Tupon by the Administration, For the disci°. suze of i' • zelr Vi • now, wi thout views we have all of us been anxi ously looking forward ever since last February. Until w procrastination any , other results, save those of prompted as and disappointment. Mag nanimitythetas _during the last Parliamentary session to allow dimeail,i.itry peacefully to ' , bide its time" until the in some measure vautit ;r: of its positioa had been It was felt that before any deliberate and .ed. co mprehensive r revelation of the Ministerial policy could colleagues, demanded from the Earl Of DEBBY and his a llies, they should be first of all permitted to mak e ttora rm .. :l appeal to the so as to enable COUBtry, plans to L submit their proposed p the consideration new Parliament. Well—that Parlia n of a been now formally elected—and what wiser 11" 15 the nation at thi i moment than it was six months z as to the policy of the m e ll t? D E BBY Govern ego as I t bag learnt, of course, that the Cabinet has expressly a b an. ' doned the enforcement upon the Legislature of the obsolete principles of Pro tection. But it knew long \ ago that such must inevitably be the case—it counted upon that change, and 'wisely, with implicit COB& dente. Beyond this it knows for certain, --absolutely nothing. it can only reason in the matter upon simple probabilities. According to the natural deductions thus capable of being drawn_it appears likely that the Cabinet will be in favour of a variety of important reforms long and fervently desired by the population. Legal reforms, indeed, have been explicitly promi!ecl by the Government. Sanitary reforms have been hinted at• Fiscal reforms have been shown to be already ,s looming in t a e future," according to the now yell-known phrase of : the' CuaNcELLos of tha ExcnEguza. Fur- T ri UN ; ther than this, the people have been left only to conjecture. In several instances it is true that, notwithstanding the ob3urate silence of the Cabinet, the more discerning speculators in the future may count with something like certainty upon the unfolding of other projects by the present Minis try consonant with the spirit of the age and compa tible with the wishes of the general community. Yet still, in all this, however plausible may be the aspect of likelihood, nothing more in the matter is left to the country than the most unsatisfactorily vague anticipa tions. Besides the reforms already specified as of a legal, a fiscal, and a sanitary character—the best that can be said of any other is that such and such a thing is "probable." Surely this dubious position of affairs has been quite long enough protracted ! Surely its further continuance at indefinite intervals is precisely the very thing calculated to give rise to the most, disastrous consequences ! And what pos sible good result we should like to know can be expected from these perpetual delays either to the Ministers themselves or to their supporters in the new Parliament ? So far from the circumstance referred to being favourable in any way to the Government, it is, perhapsAof all, the most effectual means of marring the Ministerial hopes of the mem bers of Lord DEBBY'S Administration. If continued much longer, it must ne cessarily diminish even their restricted, popularity. Everybody seems to be per fectly aware of this e xce p t her MAJESTY ' S Ministers themselves ! After tantalizing the community by a series of the most agonizing procrastinations, they have again deferred meeting the newly-elected repree sentatives until a period in the ensuing autumn when the year will b e too far advanced for any lengthened or satisfactory explanation. October must have almost elapsed before the House of Commons can have assembled in 'West minster, to hear from the Right Honourable the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER that the Cabinet will "positively for the last time "—like a sort of Ministerial Crummles— delay the disclosure of their intended policy until the spring of 1853 has again brought the Im perial Legislators together for the dispatch of busi ness. The public were heartily tired of this four or five weeks since. They have coma at last to regard it as simply in tolerable. Will the Earl of DERBY recognise the truth of this assertion and the peril of this system, before its continuance has placed the difficulty of the task entrusted to his Government beyond the reach of reparation ? Unless some change be very speedily manifested in this particular by the leaders of the Administration, the days of the new Cabinet must be regarded as already numbered. The public will not consent to witness with in difference the dilatory proceedings by which the present occupants of office appear to be guarding themselves against the dangers of a legislative en counter with their political antagonists. There is an old story, familiar enough in itself to be only hinted at to be understood, about the ostrich hiding its head in the sand by way of secur ing its effectual concealment. Has no ostrich wan dered into Downing-street? Westminster is just now is all conscience sufficiently a wilderness! And, although the luxury of a " tenpenny nail" cannot possibly be found very easily in the vicinity of St. Margaret's—abund ance may be readily discovered in the shape of " tax." Whatever Ministers may think about the convenience of delays, they will find rather earlier than they expect the mistake of these postpone ments. England cannot submit much longer to be committed to these amusing evasions on the part of her more remarkable statesmen. The Cabinet certain of best securing her sympathies and com manding her confidence would be a Cabinet manfully outspoken, not one cruelly and pertinaciously taci turn. The people of these islands like, if possible, to know what are really the sentiments by which their rulers are actuated. They become naturally suspicious of men who avoid, by every imagi nable device, the necessity of expounding their political doctrines to the community. A Ministry acting thus without intermission " is safe" to acquire an unenviably sinister reputation. Will the DERBY Administration consent to dwindle to that insignificance ? It commenced its existence with a bearing eminently chivalrous. Its distinguished leader spoke as became a STANLEY in February. Since which time the Earl of DERBY appears to have lapsed into a silence as profound as that of the ruined Oracle of Delphos. Until the general election had been completed there was every reason for this delay of Ministerial explanations. Now that the full complement of representatives has been returned to that remarkable vessel of the State H.M.S. the Lower House of Parliament, there remains no longer any sort of excuse for the permanence of this " silent system" by the Noble Earl at the head of the Govern , merit. Let him make a clean breast of it, and receive —if he can—the national absolution. The Town Council of Leeds, at their last sitting, opened a very important question, namely, that of commercial law consolidation. It bad previously re ceived the notice of the Leeds Chamber of Commerce, by whom, indeed, the co-operation of the Municipal Council was solicited. Sir GEORGE GOODMAN (lately Mayor of Lee3s, and now Alderman and M.P. for the borough), opened the question by reading communications addressed to the Mayor by the Earl of HARROWI3Ir and others, on the s ubject of the amendment and consolidation of commercial law, it being important that the commercial laws of England, Ireland, and Scotland,' should be made to assimilate. He con sidered that by simplifying and consolidating these laws, and by abrogating the present conflicting and, in some instances, extremely pernicious laws, in regard to commercial matters, great benefit would be conferred on the community. Other members of the Council agreed with Sir GEORGE as to the importance of settling this question, upon which a conference is to be held in London, with the co-operation of the Earl of HAR "WBY (creditably known, when representative of Li verpool, for his knowledge of commercial matters), and many leading merchants, traders, manufacturers, a 7 i d ,jurista• The Town Clerk, in reply to a question, t n eup that he c ons id ere d that the Chamber of Com merce,e and the Town Council, was the proper body to coomotmbornittsa.kenileu questions of this matter, and inform the public d o m a n tbio.enfrn 0 f the - t7iminedsuiruldits u p" with thought these th e questionsCou nei l l ' , s , Eventually easeprevailed over official and 1 w ithout a dissentient :--" followingTh t legal cavil!,. and the eancdonsciodnersoaltii motion was carried Ch at this .

We act upon the dry dictum of their Town Clerk. They have unanimously resolved that they will co-operate with their bead Chamber of Commerce in pressing upon the consideration of Government the amend ment and consolidation of the commercial law of England, Ireland, and Scotland. The subject might he vastly extended —for why should not all the general laws of the United Kiog dom be in operation in each part of it ? Why should f the legal procedure in each country be dif- Why should written evidence \ lenenots? evidencea! the civil suits in Scotland, while w b h e il r e eci p u ar ir o e l d e divorce properly received in the English courts of be the same law?

We are as much broke n by this discrepancy as if we were in the Ilept are 7 Y,with different systems under each petty ruler. In th "Ws is most tolerable and not words of DOGRERRY, nOt to be endured." LONDON, No one can know, except the mercantile and com mercial clas , es, what a vast extent of mischief arises from the difference between the commercial laws of England, Ireland, and Scotland. Pecuniary loss, great as it often is, may be estimated r.s the least of the annoyance. Even in the port of London, the Fellowship Porters have a monopoly which prevents the unloading and discharging of ships' cargoes, save by a favoured few. Other ports have equally absurd and expensive and annoying practices. But these are minor points. What we require is the entire amendment and consolidation of the commercial law of the United Kingdom. The w ay of obtaining this does not appear very difficult. The question must be extensively and publicly agi tated. There must he meetings, and speeches, and resolutions. The Chambers of Commerce should have unity and industry of action upon it. The leading points of the question must be diffused through the press, in the plainest and most unmis takable manner. Funds must be supplied to cover expenses—but the money part is that of which we have least apprehension. Members of Parlia ment must be seen, and solicited, and in terested in the matter. The Government, finally, must be communicated with, and in a manner which will show them the necessity, on the points of justice and expediency, of taking up the question with a view to its being fully and searchingly investigated. On a public topic like this, when strongly brought before them, the Government must become " squeez able." If the Chambers of Commerce are u nanimous, and firm in proceeding with their " Agitati on" herein, though " the Council's time should not be taken up" with this question, Ministers and the Legislature cannot successfully resist or prevent the reform which is sought for. It is now a mere question of flagrant evil, involving numerous losses, and vexations and annoyances, and when such matters reach a certain head they cannot longer be endured. It is a matter of time, but its finale is certain. THE FRENCH REPUI3LIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. M. TRIERS arrived in Paris on Tuesday. The Moniteur contains a decree from the PREM. DENT of the Republic, promoting M. ABATUCCI, Minister of Justice, and M. BILLAULT , President of the Legislative Corps, to the rank of officers of the Legion of Honour. The Moniteur also contains a decree according to the St. Germaine Company permission to execute a railway from the St. Germaine termi nus at Paris to Pas3ey and Auteuil, on the same conditions as have been already granted for the main line. A letter from Geneva announces that M. DE REMUBAT, who was in Switzerland when he heard of the permission accorded him to return to France, at once set off for his estate in the Haute Garonne. The same letter announces that M. CLIANIBOLLE w as about to leave Vevey, where he has been residing, and re turn to France with his family. • The Inter& Public of Caen states that on the occa sion of the fete of the 15th the PRINCE PRESIDENT has pardoned thirty prisoners confined in the prison at Beaulieu. The Archbishop of PARIS, who has left Paris on a journey into Germany, has taken the Strasburg Railway, and will, it is said, go through Holland, to Vienna, and return to France through Belgium. The PRINCE PRESIDENT, on the report of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, has j list conferred the cross of chevalier in the Legion of Hcnour on the Maestro VERDI of Parma, the author of Ernani, the Foscari, and other operas. We read in the Emancipation of Brussels —" The opening of the railway from Paris to Strasburg, has been, as might reasonably be expected, the subject of serious comments among poli tical men in Germany. A Berlin journal, th© iVehr-Zeziung has just pub lished an article on the subj ect, which has, it is said, caused some sensat ion amon g militar y men. ' Let it be remembered; says the article in question, what was the plan of campaign con ceived by NAPOLEON in 1800, and afterwards modi fied in different points by MOREAU. The left bank of the Rhine from Strasburg to Bale was to be the basis of operation of the army of invasion. Strasburg, in fact, will always remain the principal stronghold, and the point of support of the left wing of the army. This place is now only a few hours' distance from Paris. France may in a few days concentrate an army behind the Rhine, and all the resources of the country, troops, money, and provisions, are all near the seat of operations.' There is nothing new in these remarks. E France can make use of railways to attack, Germany can also use them to defend. All the importance of these discussions is in the idea which might be attributed, if not to the two nations, at least to the Governments which preside over the destinies of France and Germany. So long as it is known that Germany is ready to repel with energy any army which should threaten her territory, an in vasion by Strasburg is not to be feared. Besides, the policy of France continues to be satisfactory." Government securities were more firm at the Bourse to-day than yesterday.

Two meetings have been hid in Belgium relative to the non-renewal of the commercial treaty between France and Belgium. One, by the journeymen com positors, against the renewal of any treaty containing the condition of suppressing the right of re-impres sion ; and the second, by the Belgian thread spinners at Ghent, strongly•in favour of a commercial treaty between the two countries. GERMANY. The Cologne Gazette, under the date of Berlin, 16th, gives the following explanation of the adjourn ment of the Customs' Congress :—" The President of the Council arrived here yesterday afternoon, and in the evening had a conference with the Ministers of Commerce and Finance on the Commercial and Cus toms' question. It was decided that the re-opening of the Customs' conferences, which was to have taken place to-day, should be prorogued, and that at the request et several friendly Governments, principally Hanover. Immediately after his arrival, M. DE MA/tiTELTFEL read a letter which had been addressed to him by the Bavarian Plenipotentiary and by some other Ministers of the coalicion of Darmstadt. In this letter they demanded a postponement of the re-opening of the Customs' Congress for soma days, as they had not yet re ceived their instructions, and their request was agreed to. No period has been fixed for the resump tion of the deliberations, and if the New Prussian Ga zette fixes the re-opening for the 18th inst., it is a gra tuitous supposiTion. The Hanoverian Plenipoten tiary confined himself to supporting the demand with out fully uniting in it. A letter from Berlin, of the 16th, in the Cologne Gazette, says—" As was announced, the Catholic clergy did not agree to the request of the French Embassy to celebrate a divine service in commemo ration of the Emperor NAPOLEON.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 10,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were taken . for export, and 3,000 on speculation. The mar ket closed firmly, at the advance previously noticed this week. The sales comprised 8,500 American, 300 Per nam and Maranham, at 6d. to 7d.; 200 Bahia, at 64d. to 6P.; 300 Egyptian, at 6/d. to 7d.; and 500 Surat, at 34d. to 41d. per lb.—Railway Shares were firm, at rather higher prices. In the Produce Markets this week the dealings have been to a moderate, extent, and almost wholly for con sumption. The principal staples have supported about former rates, and Coffee has slightly tended upwards. Some Spices are rather lower, and Rice is not in so much request. Brandy has still a ready sale, and Cotton is taken more freely. Tallow has been steady. For Con gou Teas the demand has been kept up. Jute is held for high prices. Wool is firm. The necessity of devising new means to cheapen and facilitate the production of sugar in our West India possessions must be too well understood at this day to need much illustration or enforcement. What remains to be done, and what has been accomplished in other countries, it is, however, important to show. Both in Cuba and the United States, the owner or manager of a property, as we aro informed, now employs for the crop an experienced sugar maker, who has the manufac turing process entirely and exclusively under his ma nagement and care. He is entitled to this situation from having established the character of being thoroughly acquainted with his business; he has generally some knowledge of chemistry—he possesses the latest and most useful information of all the improvements that have been discovered and recently known—the books and instruments required by a man who has made this manufacture his entire business. lie gives the most un remitting attention not only to the improved manufac ture, but to the prevention of the theft of the sugar made; he is not paid a salary, but so much per hogs head, generally one dollar each hogshead, sent off the property. In the present uncertain state of th e su g ar q uestion the absentee proprietors and mortgage es will not invest further capital in any of the very many recent improve ments in machinery, &c., in the manufacture of sugar on their , own properties. The resident proprietors of Jamaica, and some of the other colonies, should now leak to the present American system, which does net require any capital to try, and deserves to have their earnest consideration. They must keep in mind that Barbadoes has lately doubled the crops the spirited planters formerly made; that last year, although the island is only the size of the parish of St. Ann, in Jamaica, with few natural advantages, they made the immense crop of 40,000 tons, a larger quantity than Jamaica made in 1850, and equal to the crop of 1851; that Trinidad last year also made a larger crop than the island ever produced, under even the very favourable times of slavery and English protection. There is an increasing business doing in American Securities now the fishery dispute is considered to be settled. Owing to the recent altercation with the Chatham boatmen, the committee of Lloyd's have appointed an agent for the Kentish coast specially to look to the pro tection of shipwrecked property, a measure of undoubted utility, and calculated to save much angry feeling as well as pillage. A meeting of Portuguese Bondholders is convened for next Wednesday. Tho miserable neglect by the Go vernment at Lisbon of its obligations towards the foreign creditors demanded this public assemblage, though we believe the Committee have not been idle hitherto. The Amsterdam Stock Market on the 18th inst. was very brisk for Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. Fo reign Securities were without alteration. Rather a largo business has been done in Public Se curities, and the quotations are very well maintained. Consols have been 99i to for Transfer, and 99i for Account. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. bring 1031 to The Bank returns in this evening's Gazette will show a large increase in the bullion. The samples of Wheat shown in Mark-lane this morning from the west andj south of England are so bad this they can scarcely be accepted as a fair crite rion, but still it is stoutly maintained that thousands of acres can be found as bad or even worse. This naturally causes anxiety, and although the rise in Wheat is not above is., it would speedily be much greater if the statements made should be confirmed. Consols now are rather weaker at 99i. Bank Stock is firm at 2251 to 226 k. Exchequer-bills realise 745. to 775. premium. Foreign Stocks have been steady, bat there have not been such full prices obtained for Grenada, the Deferred being dealt in at 111-1- to 12k.

Some are looking up, including East Lancashire, Bris tol and Exeter, Ambergate, Edinburgh and Glasgow, and Midland and South -Eastern; but there is a decline in Great Northern, Great Western, North-Western, and York end North-Midland. Foreign Shares are dull. Gold Mines are steady. QUARTER TO THREE. ... 99i ... 99i CLOSIffO PR PRICE!. BanklC PRICES Sto O e F k : 11 ... F .. U .. N .. 1) .. 7 2 4C° 2 1 6 1 i 1 2 25 1/i 225 3 pdt.

Somewhat increased supplies of English Wheat have arrived for our markets this week, viz., 3,210 quarters, partly of the present year's growth, and in but middling condition. Fresh up to-day, by land-carriage, a few parcels came to hand, but the show of samples, of both red and white, was very moderate. Owing to the unfa vourable reports respecting the new crop, holders in ge neral were very firm, but the amount of business passing was by no means extensive. Really fine parcels were is per quarter dearer, and the value of other kinds was well supported. There was more doing for forward delivery. Upwards of 17,000 quarters of foreign Wheat have come in. For most descriptions we had a steady consumptive demand, at extreme curren cies. Floating cargoes were held for more money. The show of English Barley was trifling, that of foreign up wards of 6,000 quarters. The demand was far from active at late rates. Most kinds of new Malt wore con sidered the turn higher. The Oat trade was in a sluggish state, owing to the large imports, which amounted to 32,110 quarters. In the value of Beans, Peas, and Flour we have no change to notice. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat.
