The supercilious impertinence with which Captain PENNY has been treated by parties connected with the Royal Navy of England is, by this time, we should imagine, become matter of sufficient notoriety. Upon conduct so unbecoming the members of a gal lant and distinguished profession we have already felt it our painful duty ,to animadvert. As Eng lishmen, and as patriotic lovers of the service, the name of which has been thus miserably degraded by the most arrogant assumption of the most petu lant exclusiveness, our feelings have revolted at an exhibition of false pride so derogatory to the Admiralty of Great Britain. We have recognized in the proceedings adopted towards Captain PENNY by the Arctic Committee, and subsequently by the late Lords Commissioners, conduct such as could only have called for the scorn of a NELSON and the regrets of a COLLING WOOD. The " Blue Book," so frequently referred to of late in these columns, is enough of itself to show the consequential manner some officers in the Royal Navy have deemed it the i right of,,their cloth to assume towards the very able and intelligent navigator who happened by ill luck to be nothing more illustrious than a simple captain of a whaler. Had Captain PENN Y been fortunate enough to inhale his first breath of the salt-water-breeze with a " midshipman's curse" em broidered on his jacket, he would have had some little more consideration shown towards him during the coarse of the recent investigation. We should not then have heard any impertinent allusions to him as Air. PENNY either from the floor of the House of Com mons, or under the roof-tree of the Admiralty—either by Admiral BERKELEY or by any other of" the Lords Commissioners for executing the office of Lord High Admiral of England." It might, one would suppose, have entered into the remembrance of the Arctic Com mittee that history is fraught with proofs that the letters R.N. are not by any means essential to the professional capacity of any man as a Sea Captain. The glorious discoverer of Polynesia was no less admirable a navigator from the fact of his having first learnt to handle a tarry rope among the colliers of Newcastle. COLUMBUS, again, was surely not the less entitled to respect because he belonged originally to neither the royal navy of Northern Italy or of the Peninsula, having acquired the rudiments of seaman ship in the merchant vessels trading from the ports of Genoa and Lisbon. Countless examples of a very distinguished character, though inferior, it must be admitted, to the pre-eminent instances afforded by the biographers of CooKE and COLUMBUS, might be adduced to show that men may learn the difficult iicieuce of navigation elsewhere than under the flag of a royal navy, be it the Royal Navy of England, of Spain, of Sardinia, or of any other state in Chris tendom. Because Captain PENNY was not Captain PENNY, R.N., but simply the Captain of a whaler in the Arctic seas—he was not, therefore, we conceive, to be treated with the contempt and contumely only displayed, under like circumstances, to a man who has shown the grossest ignorance and the most culpable incapacity. Such, however, it is not for a moment pretended is the charge directed against Captain PENNY by captain AUSTIN, by the Arctic Committee, or by the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty. His crime was merely that of not belonging to the Royal Navy of England. He had behaved admirably through out the whole of the last expedition in search of Sir JOHN FRANKLIN. Nobody denied that. He had even acquired for himself the distinguished credit of being the first, and as yet the only navigator who had discovered any actual and substantial indications of the route taken by FRANKLIN and his missing com panions. The Blue Book proclaimed the fact. It was a circumstance notorious to everyone. It was known, moreover, that, besides lighting upon the track of the Lost Expedition, he: had cifered to proceed at once some hundreds of miles further upon the line of his discovery, if only allowed to pilot a steamship on through the open water, beyond Wellington Channel. Yet the responsibility of the abrupt and blundering return was transferred to his shoulders from those of captain AUSTlN—because Captain PENNY was not Captain PENNY, R.N. ; and in addition to this, he was studiously treated in a manner the most overbearing and. consequen tial, as if the command of a whaler in the Arctic seas was really one of the most degrading and despicable duties that could possibly devolve upon a created being. Against this course of proceeding we have long since and repeatedly entered the strongest protest to which our vocabulary could enable us to give utterance. Against its recurrence we shall always raise our voice in the loudest tones and in the most decisive language. As supplementary evidence that such has actually been the bearing assumed by officers of the Royal Navy with reference to Captain PENNY, we may refer to a letter published elsewhere in our im pression of this evening, and addresseal to ourselves by a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society—a letter recounting the fact of the personalities indulged in, before that society, by Sir EDWARD BELCH ER — personalities so gross and ungenerous, as having reference to one who was absent, that they twice called forth the interposition of the President, Sir RoDEßecKMtiacnesoel. The statements of our cor respondent will speak for themselves, and to them we allude, therefore, as to additional testimony of that professional arrogance which we shall always take occasion to reprobate as frivolous in itself, if it were not at the same time seriously detrimental to the character of the Maritime Service of Great Britain. Whatever may be said on other points, the fate of the Ministry must be decided on its fisez.l and com mercial policy. The post selected by Mr. DISRAELI is, therefore, to all intents and purposes, at this moment not only the moat onerous, but by fir the most important in the Cabinet. As it is to his skilful and energetic exertions that the creation of the pre sent Government may chicfly be attributed, so it is on his shoulders-that the weight of sustv.ining it must Ina e inlY rest. Althou g h o pp osed, in m a n y respects, to the political views and opinions of the party in power, we are yet disposed to make every reasonaHe allowance for the d ifficulties of their positioe, and t o ex hibi t the fair pl ay which pp e o v n e e ry nt: En w gl t :s a h r m e a , n , pr ac e c e o - r tr d a s d e er v s en to his m ost b itter o” in the most exten d s es 7 r signification of the phrase, and it is our anxi,oubsy Which h to o remove the remaining clogs and shackles fettered and impeded. and until a considerable p expect to achieve w n e r d trade and commerce are mar . iy an anxious this great desideratum struggle, conaiderabieymnot greater e period has elapsed. W e must take it by instalm e I. we ar n 's, and we are Ad ministration es e more likely t f ir mly convinced that t m ba e t ans in obtain a on account from the present than from their predecessors—that in the right direction may be anticipated fromP ig3__. JAMIN DISRAELI than from Sir CHARLus WOOD. ',`, But it is said that a preliminary questio n arises _ that the most important branch of free trad e may be endangered, viz., the free and untaxed importation o f articles of primary necessity, such as cereals of every description, meat, &c., by sanctioning the retention of office by persona avowedly desirous of imposing a tariff on all such commodities. It is necessary, therefore, that the question should be fbrthwith " settled"—that no breathing time should be afforded to the new men ---but that they should be com pelled forthwith to recant their former opinions, and en ter into the most sole mn pledges to keep the peace t owa rds corn, flour, &c., bi nd i ng themselves down , under heavy recog niz ances, never a t any F uture p e riod to disturb the arrangement e ntered into in 1846. This is the opinion of Mr. c o BD ", 'which, it is needless to say, must ever carry considerable weight with Free-traders. It is to promote and gilin converts to this line of policy that the Honourable. Gentleman ' LONDON, has entered upon a new crusade, and has resumed the activity which he laid aside in 1846. Believing, however, that it is an exceedingly injudicious and mistaken policy which he is advocating, and that he is at present appealing rather to the passions than to the reason—that he is, without the slightest necessity, exciting a panic, the results of which may be very prejudicial to the cause of Reform, Parliamentary, fiscal, and financial, we feel it an imperative duty to protest against the course indicated by the Hon. Gentleman. He insists on the immediate settlement of the question. Why, it is settled ; it has been long since settled,, and it is he himself who is once more forcing on an unnecessary discussion, and disturbing the entire country, arraying class against class, on a matter that would probably never again be heard of —but for his denunciations. It is quite certain that during the present session the question will not be brought forward by or on the part of Ministers. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER has for some time advised that the subject should be placed in abeyance until the nation should pronounce on the matter at the next general election in unequivocal and unmis takeable language. The PREMIER, too, spoke clearly and distinctly on the point when explaining in the hereditary branch of the Legislature the reasons which prevented him from forming a Ministry in 1851, when her MAJESTY had confided the important trust to his charge. He said, " that in his judgment the opinion of the country had not yet been taken upon that important subject; that at a general election the country will have an opportu ❑ity of declaring its opinion, and that if that opinion should be hostile to the views which he entertained, he would then bow to the decison of the country, and abandon Protection for ever." Such a pledge from a nobleman not merely of unimpeached integrity, but who is admitted by even his most strenuous opponents to be "of the most chivalric honour," is too important to be lightly relinquished. It will, we doubt not, be maintained to the very letter. Let every preparation then be made for the contest. Let every open constituency (alas ! that the word "open " must still be used) be canvassed by a Free• trader, and let the opinion of the country — the calm and deliberate opinion, firmly but temperately expressed, be given on the question, and then the promise of the Earl of DERRY will be valid and unimpeachable, and we venture to say will be strictly fulfilled ; and the great party of which be is the head will see the propriety—nay, more, the ne cessity, of abandoning their untenable demands. But if it be otherwise--if the apple of discord be again flung abroad, and the passions of the people excited to the highest pitch, we may have many bitter partizans returned, who will refuse to abide by the decision of their leader, and the question will be kept open, a perpetual source of irritation and annoyance, occasioning the greatest disquietude and injury to all parties. Let us, then, avoid the factious course, and confident in the strength and justice of our cause patiently abide the period when the several constituencies must proclaim at the hustings their undying devotion to the sacred cause of " untaxed food," and their determination to maintain theposition that has already been achieved by indefatigable and energetic exertions. Placing that all-important subject aside, let us look to other matters. First comes the income tax, that unequal, inquisitorial, and oppressive im post, that has disgusted the nation, and which we verily believe mainly led to the Ministerial resignation of 1851, and the change of Govern ment of 1852. Sir CHARLES WOOD staked the exist ence of his party on retaining the most objectionable provisions without change or modification. He ex hibited, indeed, an unreasoning and obstinate per versity that disgusted his friends and delighted his opponents. We can never hope for any beneficial alteration at his hands, but Mr. Desasisu and Mr. HERRIES and others have declared that it would be impossible to maintain the obnoxious impost, in its present objectionable form, and that if it is to be retained as a source of permanent revenue, it must be rendered more equitable. To which of the parties, then, are we to look for relief on this deeply interest ing subject? Not to the Whigs, certainly ! And we can only hope for it by showing fair play to their successors. Again the taxes on knowledge come before us. 'We recollect the stereotyped answer of Sir CIJARLES WOOD, that the paper, advertisement, and newspaper stamp duties produced so many thousands per annum, which he was certainly not prepared to relinquish. From him relief was hopeless. The paper manufacturer should be still annoyed by the most vexatious Excise regulations; cheap literature should be discouraged, if not prohibited; the wretched sempstress seeking for employment, the maid of all work requiring a situation, should still contribute as highly to the revenue as the nobleman offering for sale an estate worth hundreds of thousands of pounds. Mr. DISRAELI may correct these crying grievances. We believe that he is disposed to do so, and look for ward, at least with some degree of hope, to his pro positions. We would not remove that pleasing anti cipation by the premature restoration of the family party to office, especially if they should by that resto ration be imbued with the idea that no other Govern ment would be tolerated by the country. If we consider the other Excise duties or assessed taxes the result will be the same. From whence is there the greatest prospect of obtaining a remission of the hop duties ? a most unjust and unwarrantable tax, indefensible indeed on any true fiscal principle, being practically, and, as we have long since asserted, neither more nor less than direct robbery on a certain class, who, because they held lands more than usu ally valuable, were selected as proper parties to be cruelly and _most unjustifiably plundered. Again, the malt-tax, and others of a similar character, will probably be taken .into consideration, and we may reasonably anticipate early legislation with respect thereto. The poor-rates and other local taxation may very probably be equalized, or at least in some degree more equit ably apportioned than at present. We cannot, perhaps, expect that everything will at once be effected, but we shall at least have some chance of seeing the course entered upon. ' Let the country, then, wait for the production of Mr. DISRAELI'S budget before a final opinion is formed. If we should be disappointed, if he should enter on a retrograde course, we will oppose him with all our strength , but once more we say, it is measures, not men, that are to be regarded, and we should not reject really beneficial propositions because they emanate from a quarter that may be regarded with some degree of suspicion.

We have received the Paris journals of Saturday and yesterday. The Patrie, in a paragraph marked "communi cated," declares that the rumours which have been in circulation for some days past, of modifications in the Ministry, are totally destitute of foundation. The same journal says:— " We understand that everywhere the clergy, actuated by a spirit of order and conciliation, have supported the Government candidates." The same journal adds : "The department of the Saone-et-Loire, which had sent to the Legislative Assembly twelve Mountaineer representatives, eight of whom have been expelled from France, have elected almost unanimously Count Louis de Barbantane, M. Schneider, formerly Minister of Prince Louis Napoleon; General Brunet .Denon, and Count de Moreton Chabrill an . I n t h e department of La Vendee, we have likewise to speak of a decided progress in the point of view of governmental ideas; for a great length of time this department has sent to our Legisla tive Assemblies men belonging to the opposition. On the present occasion the opposition has sustained a marked check, as out of three nominations the Govern ment has obtained two—namely, those of M. St. Her mine and M. Alfred Leroux. This result proves, that even in La Vendee, the head-quarters of Legitimacy, the populations have felt the necessity of rallying round the only Government which can ensure the tranquillity and prosperity of the country." The Constitutiornel says : " Several arrondissements will have to proceed to new elections on the 14th inst, It is to be remarked that it is almost exclusively in thickly inhabited localities that this occurs. Lisle, Rennes, and Arras are so situated as well as Paris. In the localities, on the contrary, where the population is more divided, or where the country element predominates, the majorities are enormous. Thus it is evident that the electors have well compre hended that, after having given eight millions of votes to the President of the Republic in order to found the constitution of the country, they could not return against him a wrangling and disturbing opposition. Ho has asked from France the power of doing good, and good will be done." We read in the same journal:- 4 , The electors of the Pay-de-DOme paid no attention to the Ministerial - ;decision, forbidding any Government candidate to stand for two places at the same time, and which prevent e d M. d e M or ny from coming forward for the first circumscription of Paris. Although only stand ing for one place, M. de Morny has been elected without his knowledge in two circumscriptions of the Pay-de- Dome. This double nomination is a marked homage paid to his courageous conduct when in office." The Moniteur publishes a note confirming the an nouncement already made by the Patrie that the Minister o f Fi nance h as g i v en orders to have journals, occupied exclusively with subjects re lating to the arts, sciences, and agriculture, exempted from the duty imposed on newspapers by the decree of Feb. 17. The Moniteur publishes the programme of the in struction required for admission to the Ecole Poly technique, as drawn up by a commission, and ap proved of by the Minister of War. It extends over several columns. " It is announced," says the Constitutionnel, " that a decree on the university, on the faculty of sciences and letters, and on the faculty of law and medicine, is to be published in the ilioniteur in a few days. The system of contours will be maintained in the faculties of law and medicine only for the places of professors agreg4s. Malevolence had already propa gated th e rumour th a t th e Ministry of Public In struction was about to be suppressed , and that its at tributions were t o f orm on ly an insignificant division of the Ministry of the Interior. Such is not the fact. If we are well informed, all the measures adopted in the new decree are only intended to lead to the regular development of a more moral, more extensive, and more assiduous course of instruction ; the pupil s remove d f rom their family are to be sub jected to a paternal and useful superintendence, and our ultra-political orators will no l o nger boast, it is to be hoped, of the sympathy and support of the y o uth of the schools." A decree of the PRESIDENT of the Republic ap pears in the Ilaniteur this morning convoking the Legislative Assembly for the 29th inst. We read in the Constitutionnel :—" A rumour has prevailed at the Bourse that M. DE PERSIGNY had been charged with a mission to Germanf, and that he had left Paris two days back. This news is inexact, as M. DE PERSIGNY has not quitted his post. He was present yesterday at a Council of Ministers held at the Ely see." A third ball, it is announced , is to be given at the Tuileries immediately after the opening of the Chambers. The Bourse was heavy on Saturday, and public securities declined slightly. The Fi►e per cents. opened at 106 f. Ioc., rose to 1061. 30c., fill subsequently to 105 f. 75e., and closed at 105 f. 95c. for the end of the month.

The Postampt Gazette of Frankfort publishes, under the head of Berne, March 2, the text of the tioter Ambassador French ref ugees presen t e d b y th e French sador to the S w i ss G overnmen t. Aft er enlarging upon the right of the French Government to demand that Switzerland should not be made the demand a form a l prom i se t h at every ex focus of intrigues against France, the ambassador p says uls i : o — n of ‘lrefuees that I may solicit shall be granted, without inquiring to what ca t egory b e l ong th e French political refugees affected by this measure ; and, moreover, that the orders of the central power shall be executed on the terms prescribed beforehand, without mitigation by the authorities of the cantons.

A different line of conduct would prod uce sa d comp li c ations, and impose upon . the Govern men t of the Republic the duty of devising measures, which, it is true, it would applyto adopt, if the demand whi c h I h ave th e h o nour to addresysetroyyour unwillingly, b ut wh i ch i t wou ld b e f orc ed Excellen cy should fail in its object."

It would appear that the disturbances in the Island of Sardinia were more serious than was at first believed, since we learn from the Corriere Mercantile of Genoa, of the 22d, that the Piedmontese Govern ment has ordered f urt h er reinforcements to b e sen t there, besides that which sailed on the Ist. By a decree of the 29th ult. the King of SARDINIA has confirmed Baron Miairio in the office of President of the Senate, and. Marquis CESARE ALFIERI in that of Vice-President.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The Sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were estimated at 10.000 bales, of which 500 were taken for export and 2,500 on speculation. The market closed firmly at previous rates. The sales comprised 7,500 American, 700 Pernam and Maranham at sid. to 61d., 80 Bahia at sd. to 60., and 2,509 Surat at 3d. to 4d. per lb.—Railway Shares were steady. A dull demand has prevailed to-day for Wheat, and prices are barely maintained. The railway meetings for the half year have nearly all been held, but the tollowing are forthcoming this month:—Caledonian, Chester and Holyhead, Edinburgh and Glasgow, Lancaster and Preston Junction, Midland Great Western of Ireland, North and South Western Junction, Reading, Guildford and Reigate, Rouen and Havre, Shrewsbury and Chester, Shropshire Union, and Tourney and Jurbise. On most hands we hear expres sions of satisfaction at the result of the different meetings, and all seem to justify favourable anticipations of the future. The dividends as yet declared, taking some of the principal lines, appear, in contrast to the first half-year, a 3 follows: Now. 2 per cent. 2 1 If Ili ;', 44 „ 6 „ 2s. 6d. per share 6 per cent. 5 4 ~ „ „ '2sf. per share ss. „ 2 per cent. 3 ,t The calls due this month amount to 519,7941,, making rather over a million and a half since January the Ist. The Amsterdam Stock Market on the 6th inst. was dull for home securities at a bout the previous rates. Spanish also were rather feeble. The great Dutch fisheries will be opened on the Ist June next.

In Railway Shares there was no change, but not much was done. Bills were in request upon all places except Frankfort. Money was abundant and discounts wire low. Later accounts have been received from the Cape of Good Hope. The war was progressing more favourably, and the recall of Sir Harry Smith was disapproved of by the colonists. West India advices have come to hand by a Govern ment steamer. They do not notice any important change in the weather or the prospects of the crops. The English Stocks have suffered a little from the rumoured cause of the French Amb assa dor's return t o Paris, and the difficulties under which our own Cabinet is supposed to labour from the Cobden opposition, judging by the protracted Council of Saturday. Consols have been 971 to for Transfer and Account. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are 99i and the Three per Cents. 981 to Bank Stock is firm, at an advance to 2191.
