Such is the cant of the hour and the jargon of party—at cant rising not unfre quently into claptrap and a jargon expanding into fanfarronade. Howbeit at the present juncture it is admitted upon all sides that the struggle about to commence is one upon the result of which the destinies of the entire empire are in a very pe culiar degree dependent. Hitherto, since the altera tions of the tariff, but more particularly since that abolition of the imposts upon corn which incorpo o r f a t t h ed e the principles of free trade among tne chief fundamental principlee of the Constitutiorn,atrhilamecoenn; con dition of parties in the Lower House of has been such that the ordinary operations of the Government of this country ha h s a r v e e ig b n e e e d n wh ve e r r y e materially interrupted. Confusion formerly order was invariable. There has been none of that nice balance of power which tended, it must be allowed, to secure the tranquil facilitation of the labours of Parliament. There was at first a sudden disruption of Conservatism, followed more gradually than might have been expected under the circum stances, but none the less securely, by a political pro cess almost identical with that of decomposition. As POPE said of the pack of cards at the whist-table, ,s Clubs, diamonds, hearts, in wild disorder seen, With throngs promiscuous strewed the level green," so might we say of contemporary politicians on the floor of the House of Commons, that there was per ceptible an equivalent confusion among the Whigs and Tories, the Radicals and Conservatives. Mem bers knew not exactly where to sit. They were un certain whether to establish themselves on the cross benches, below the gangway, behind the benches of the Treasury, or on those of the Opposition. Thus it was that the enterprise deemed until that moment altogether impracticable was achieved by the gallantry of Lord GEORGE BENTINCK. A " third" party was created out of the ruins of Conservatism. There was the party led by Sir ROBERT PEEL. There was the party led by Lord JOHN RUSSELL. There was the party led by Lord GEORGE BENTINCK. Besides these might have been enumerated afterwards the lesser parties (nu merically inferior, but intrinsically formidable), such as the Manchester party represented by COBDEN, and the Radical Reformers represented by the veteran HUME, and ultimately the select, but influential supporters of Lord PALMERSTON, men like Mr. MILNEE and Colonel FREESTUN. Added to all which divisions was yet another, that of " free lances," fighting under no leadership—thoroughly independent Members, such as RALPH BERNAL Os- BORNE and JOHN ARTHUR ROEBUCK. Even the before-mentioned state of things in the House of Commons did not appear to be sufficiently confused to be altogether satisfectory. The Protectionists, for whose interests he had fought so gallantly, inspired as he was with a sort of heroic desperation, grew restive under the command of Lord GEORGE BENTINCK, and drove him unceremoniously to resign the authority he had only consented to assume at their earnest and importunate entreaties. Parlia ment met again, and the man who was still virtually the leader of the Opposition was —strange to behold— seated on the cross betides. His energetic associate, Mr. Disaaaar, looked ditcensolate in his position im meiliately- confronting the leaders of the Pena Go ;vernmerit. Shortly afterwarde came the death- Irt•nggi e on the Coercion Bill for Ireland, the resig nation of Sir ROBERT, and the instalment of the RUf.SELL Administration*. Free-traders and Monopolists were then jumbled together on the same side of the House. Confusion became worse confounded. The Whigs existed as a Cabinet upon a species of agon i z i ng su ff erance. The Palk inept of 1841 was tortured by the throes of dissolu tion. Ministers survived even then with a House of Commons consisting of a majority of antagonists— their survival being attributable not to their ow n strength, but to the weakness of the Opposition, a weakness brought about by divisions and ani mosities. At length the situation became intolerable. The Parliament of 1841 was dissolved in 1847, and after a. general election, which provoked throughout the country extra ordinary excitement, the new House of Com mons was assembled on the 18th of November at Westminster. Unluckily for the people the con fusion of parties was still as remarkable as ever, and their consequent jealousies being in several instances peculiarly rancorous, anything like an amalgamation was hopeless. In 1848 Lord GEORGE BENTINCK died suddenly of disease of the heart, and in 1850 Sir ROBERT PEEL died suddenly by an accident. Relieved of their most formidable antagonist in the former instance, the Whigs were in the latter deprived of their most notable supporter. They languished at first with miserable majorities, and ultimately with no majorities at all, until, from sheer exhaustion and incapacity—after remaining in power for five years, and ungratefully ridding them selves of their most popular and illustrious colleague —Lord JOHN and his colleagues were compelled, last February, to tender their resignation. The result we are tolerably well acquainted with by this time-- en the acceptance of the/ resignation of the Whigs, the Tories were called to power, the Earl of DERBY being entrusted with the formation of the new Government. Aided by the remarkable abilities of Mr. DISRAELI in the House of Commons, the new PRIM:3 Mx/v][4ml has contrived to carry on the affairs of the country until July—a period of upwards of four months—without a working majority, and in spite of the extravagant blun ders of such men as the Earl of MALMESBURY. Up to the present moment, therefore, the position of party remains as involved as at the time of its original disruption. The responsibility consequently now rests with the electors to terminate this anoma lous situation. The general election of 1852 must restore the machinery of legislation, and through it, of course, the machinery of adminis tration to something like a rational state of equi librium. Call them no matter what—Liberals cr Derbyites—the new House of Commons must consist for the must part of either advocates of Reform or advocates of Retrogression. Which of these two great parties is to obtain the preponderance is the question now about to be submitted to the country by the SOVEREIGN. With the possessors of the franchise, therefore, rests the responsibility of solving this problem, through the various candidates aspiring to be representatives in the new Par liament We are on the e ve o f a general election. The most strenuous exertions are making in every direction on behalf of the several aspirants for senatorial honours ; and it iS more than probable that within less than a fortiliglit several klembzrs will be returned to the new Parliament. ' This, then, is the time for electors impres%ing: tlrir wishes - and desires on the anxious candidates. Every statement will ba listened to with respect and attention, arid distinct answers returned . !bil solemn pl e d ges given, when it is clearly an d dis t!nQly sh o w n th a t there i. 3 no pO,:sibility of eva di ng , the i nterrogatory, or returning ayague, unsatisfactory resp o6se _ .. leeted ,35 Should the golden opportunity be neg.; misappl i ed, many years may elapse before the reeuf , ,l ' t.Lc e of one equally favourable.

It is really the most wanton interference wi th the liberty of the suFjecr, the most glaring instan ce of intolerance, that has been known since the removal of the pen9l enactments when life and property might be endanp„ ered in case of non• conformity. And there is not th, slightest pretext for stating that there could be any political reason for its retention, or danger to the community by the alteration of the law. If there were any divine or natural law against such unions, any distinct and unequivocal prohibi tion, the matter would be different. Then all persons would be bound to conform to the regulation, which would command an almost universal conent. But the argument drawn from the 18th Leviticus, v. 18, has been long since practically abandoned. It cannot for a moment be asserted with a shadow of truth that it applies to the sister of a deceased wife. On the contrary, the words "in her lifetime," expressly limit the period, and by inference show that such a mar riage would be lawful after the death of the first wife. Besides, a reason is given for the direction. It is not that there would be any natural objection to the mar riage with two sisters, but it is to spare the feelings of the first wife from the mortification of being sup planted by her sister. " Neither shalt thou take a wife to ber sister to vex her' beside the other in her lifetime." Any religious objection can, therefore, be only founded on certain canons of the Church, which we believe were equally opposed to any second marriage whatsoever, or to a marriage with a widow, or an actress, or a slave—regulations which have been long since aban doned and set at nought. But even were it other wise, and that the rule were binding on every member of the Church of Rome or of England, why should it be permitted to affect the great and influential body of Protestant Dissenters, men who judge for them selves, and refuse to be bound by any supposed autho rity of the Church ? The most conscientious and moral men, persons:who would not permit their passions or wishes to influence them in a matter of right or wrong, see no objection to such marriages, and yet they are to be fettered and restrained in a matter in which even the members of the Established Church are divided in opinion —many of the most eminent and pious prelates and clergymen, as well as a large portion of the laity, believing that the enactment rendering such marriages null and void, is highly inexpedient, and should forthwith be repealed. The state of the case and the position of the ques tion should be borne in mind. There was a majority of the House of Commons in favour of the repeal, but the Bill for that purpose was practically twice re jected in the Lords. It will not be enough, there fore, to return a mere majority of representatives in favour of the change. That majority must be so considerable in numbers, and zealous and determined in feeling, as to enforce respect to their wishes from the other branch of the Legislature. Let all, then, who are desirous of removing this blot from the national statute-book, of abrogating an enactment which is habitually disregarded, and which only in jures innocent and helpless children, call upon every applicant for their suffrages to pledge himself to spare no efforts to abolish this, one of the latest and mos indefensible vestiges of religious intolerance. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We havo received the Paris journals of yesterday. The leading journals contain no word of comment on the message of the PRINCE PRESIDENT closing the session of the Legislative Body. The following para graph, however, in the illoniteur, although only pro fessing to be descriptive of the manner in which the Speech was received, is highly significant : " All applauded these words so simple, which defino with so much correctness the immense result of the policy of December 2—` Power is no longer that ina itslovable mark against which the different oppositions directed their arrows.' Like plaudits hailed the passage which refers to the faculty accorded to the secret of correcting such imperfections as may be revealed by ex perience, in which was seen a new proof of the modera tion of the Prince and of the force of the Constitution." The passages dwelt on by the Monitetir do clearly indicate that the PRINCE PRESIDENT has no intention of changing :his title to one which would make him, as kings were, the " immovable object for parties to fire at." The Constitution is by him regarded most seriously, while the principle of its revision by, and through, the legitimate channel of the Senate is not only recognised, but pointed at as likely to be prac tically brought into operation. This is a mark of con cession to the Legislative Body, which complains of the want of some provision in the fundamental act for enabling it to have amendments proposed by members explained and defended before the Council of State by their authors or their delegates. The Patrie says— "lt appears by our correspondence from Constanti nople of the 15th that the Sultan, having learned that the refusal to admit into the Bosphorus the French 90- gun ship the Charlemagne was considered in France as a mark of disrespect towards our Government, imme diately issued a fit man which opens the Bosphorus to this ship." A paragraph in the Pays would seem to have been introduced for the purpose of removing all hope of ABD-EL-KADER being liberated. A conspiracy has been discovered at Bona and Constantine for a gene ral insurrection, which was supposed to be favoured by the concentration of the French trc3ps around the mountains of Collo. A prompt and terrible repres sion had, perhaps, already been effected by the three columns which tad marched from Bathue, Constan tino, and Ghelmah, so as to surround the insurgent district, having on their way defeated all opposition. As it was during the year 1852, a prophet was ex pected to bring delivery from the yoke of the Christians, the writer trembles when he thinks what might have been the consequences of the appearance of ABD•EL-KADER amongst the insurgents, and blames those imprudent councillors who were urging the Government to let him loose. The Echo de la Frontiere states that on Sunday a gendarme on duty at the railway terminus, at Va lenciennes, saw a young man who appared to be la bouring under considerable agitation. He spoke to him, and in a short time discovered that he had several sealed letters in his hat. The gendarme at first supposed that the affair was a mere infraction of the postal regulations, but on examining the addresss of the letters they were found to be directed to the principal demagogical leaders in the south of France. The bearer of the letters, who is the son of M. ROUET (de la Nieve), one of the expelled ex-representatives of the Mountain, was immediately arrested and handed over to the authorities. Some of the letters are said by the journal to have been written by M. PASCAL DUPRAT, who is now in Brussels. SIDI-MAHMOUD DEN-AYET, Minister of the Bey of Tunis, arrived at Marseilles, on the 26th, from whence he will proceed to London viol Paris. The French fleet, before sailing from Algiers, re mained for ten days.at Tunis, in daily communication with the Government and population. On the day before that fixed for the departure of the fleet, the BEY sent a present of oxen, sheep, fowls, eggs, oil, and vegetables to the squad ron , t h e va l ue of which was estimated at not less than 20,0001'. During the stay of the various vessels before Tunis, the chaplains of the fleet several times performed mass in the Chapel of St. Louis, the enclosure of which now serves as the burial place of the Roman Catholics of the country. The BEY also sent to Admiral DE LA SUSSE, and to the several captains, the insignia of the Nichan o Tunis. Tile dividends declared by the Tribunal of Com merce, in " concordats " (arrangements with credi tors) in the course of Leif; year were from 5 to 10 par cent. in 9 cases ; 10 to 15 per cent. in 34 ; 15 to 20 p3r cent. in 18 ; 20 to 25 per cent. in 32 ; 25 to 30 per cent. in 19 ; 30 to 35 inr cent. in 11 ; 35 to 40 per cent. in 4 ; 40 to 45 per cent. in 7 ; 50 to 55 per cent. in 3; 60 to 65 per cent. in 2; the whole capital in 7; and the giving up of the assets 25.

We have received correspondence and journals ;rem Madrid, dated the 24th inst. The Marquis of MIRAFLORES, Minister for Foreign Affairs, was busily employed on the postal convention between Spain and England; a treaty is soon ex pected to be concluded by the two Governments on this important subje3t.

There was no business done on the Bourse, ns the 2411) was the feast of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist. GERMANY. A deputation of free-traders waited a few days ago on the President of the Council of Ministers at Berlin, and presented an address praying for the maintenance of the Zollverein. The Mini ster, after declaring himself favourable to free trade principles generally, said that the Govern ment would do all in its power to remove the difficulties which had arisen by the defection of the southern states from the Zollverein ; and he expressed a hope that it would eventually triumph over them. ite added that the first duty of the Government is to maintain the independence of Prussia. All doubt is now removed as to the determina tion of the Germanic Diet to legislate on the press. Two Bills on the subject were presented in the sitting of th© 24th. A letter from Vienna, in a Saxon journal, says that it was reported in well-informed circles in that city that the Government has discovered facts of such a nature as to cause it to commence a prosecution before a court-martial of Baron VON PILLERSDOEFF, ex-Minister of the Interior. It was added that he was detained as a prisoner in his own house.

The English residents at Constantinople gave a grand dinner to Viscount STRATrORD before his be parture. At this dinner a very complimentary ad dress, numerously signed, was presented to the Noble Lord, and his health was drunk with great enthu siasm. He replied in a speech, in which he said— " Such striking acknowledgment of th e serv i ces w hi c h you kind enough to ascribe to m e , i n di ca t es that in estimating th em yon have weighed the spirit in which they were conducted, and the difficulties by which they were surrounded. It is true, gentlemen, that the o b s tacles I have h ad to combat were sufficiently formid haveabe,n L formid able. Their nature is such that a man of my principles must expect to see them aris e in Tu r k e y aseerta i n ly as i n they are—corruption, which intrigue, which ob struct the march of progress, asd East; they and cupidity and poison emoiteuhneetsr societyt a es t o f th eto i nosphere wherever they exist.

A greet deal of the expect( ovation and subsequent security goodon the h: 1 t n in o ua d tte u ia' ubt, been accomplished under the , . auspices; but more, much more, remains to be accom plished, and I must add with the most profound sorrow t hat indications of error and weakness are teen in more than one place, that thy: energy of the Government is em barrassed by fi nancial complications, and that even the great charte r of Ottoman progress is to a certain point discreditel by negligence in the execution, or rather the non. execation, of its promises. Ido not say this to place in doubt the intentions of the Government, or to insinuate that I despair of the final restoration of the empire to a . more prosperous position. A state of transition is always more or less a state of weakness; and 1 entertain the hope that efficacious measures will be adopted befor e it be too late to dissipate darkness, and cause to shine unclouded the rays of European civilization." Viscount ST/A.II'ORD concluded by calling atten tion to h importance of establishing rail ways an d other improvements into Turk e y, an d introducing prpproposing toast to the prosperity of B r iti s h commerce. t n g a GREECE. ----- The monk Christoforos is causing unheard-of trouble to the Government by his incendiary ad dresses. He appears, disappears, and re-appears with- astonishing rapidity in various parts of the kingdom; and, having raised the population of the Magne by his discourses, is now ranging the Pelo ponessus. Several military columns are in pursuit of him, and the latest dispatches of their com manders express the excectation of his speedy capture. He is attended by thousands of fanatics, and when hard pressed takes refuge in some church, where he embraces the images, and calls vehemently for Divine succour. The people, excited by his prayers, have more than once fallen with sticks and stones upon the feeble force sent to apprehend him, and made officers and men fly for their lives. In explanation of this strange excit - ment, it should be stated that when Greece was made an independent state the in habitants considered that while they were one in doc trine with the rest of the Eastern church, it was im possible that they could continue under the spiritual authority of the PATRIARC H of Constantinople, a subject of their old master the SULTAN. A national synod was then established in Greece to superintend religious affairs, and this administrative independence has existed until the present year, when the Govern ment of King OTHO concluded% convention with the PATRIARCHa modified authority on part,his degree diminishing the independence of the nation a l c h urc h . I t i s aga i nst andacknowledgingin a corresponding this arrangement that the monk CHRISTOPHOROS has taken the field, from which the Government finds it so difficult to drive him. PERSIA.

Her busband is a foreman o a tobacco manufactory situated on the river Paterson, th a owner of which is a person named Boy le. The daughter L as ust written home to her father a letter dated in Februaryj last. She states that as soon as the gold discoveries were made, Mr. Boyle was obliged to raise the wages of all the men working on his establishment, and that he allows a few at a time to go to the gold diggings to try their fortune, when they return, after a limited period, to give others a chance. By these means he has been enabled to keep sufficient men to carry on his business. Tne diggings are about thirty miles from where she resides. She speaks of a youth'of her acquaintance about 17 years of age, who for some time by hred work got an ounce of gold a week; that he afterwards made use of a cradle, and washed out about three ounces of gold a week. A party she knew had met with very bad luck, and they were about to leave the digging=. They were . persuaded to give another trial, when they fell in with a spot that was exceedingly rich in gold, and they are now doing remarkably well. The writer of the letter in question hrs been in Australia about eight years. Sue states that the climate is much like England, and she is desirous that her father and all her relations should come out and bin her. Her greatest grief is that, out of the numerous lettars she knows must have been re cently sent from England to her, she has never got one. 'We understand the marriage of the Right Hor. Henry Labouchere, M.P., and Lady Mary Howard, sister of the Earl of Carlisle and the Duchess of Sutherland, which was to have bcen solemnised on Monday next, has been de ferred until the 30th proximo.

The nature and duties of these officers are explained thus :—ln consequence of the repeal of the imperial duties of customs in the North American colonies, under the operation of the Act of the 10th Victoria, c. 94, the Imperial officers have ceased to be receivers of customs' duties, which are now levied and collected by officers specially appointed for that purpose by the colonial Governments of Canada, Nova Scotia, New Brunwick, Prince Ed ward's Island, and Nefoundland. Hence, there being no longer any Imperial custom-houses for the collection cf revenue in those colonies, the return has been framed and prepared to meet the existing state of things. It is to be observed in explanation, that the Lords of the Treasury, with the view of pro viding for certain duties connected with Im perial interests, have deemed it expedient that cer tain officers should be stationed at the principal ports of those colonies, who are called comptrollers of customs and navigation-laws, with assistants acting under them, whose salaries are entirely defrayed out of the revenue of the United Kingdom. Their duties are to enforce the provisions of the Act of the 12th and 13th Vict., c 29, entitled " An Act to Amend the Laws in force for the Encouragement of British Shipping and Navigation ;" also the provisions of the Imperial Act of 8 and 9 Vict., c. 89, entitled " An Act for the Registering of British Vessels;" and to take care that the various prohibitions and restric tions prescribed by the British Possessions Act of the Bth and 9th Vict., c. 93, are duly enforced; to verify the manifests of all British vessels clearing for the United Kingdom in the manner required by the Customs' Regulation Act of the Bth and 9th Vice, c. 86, as. 3 and 4 ; and to grant certificates of clearance for all vessels clearing for the United Kingdom, as prescribed by the 36th section of the 8 and 9 Victoria, c.,86, and the 22d and 23d sec tions of the British Possessions Act of 8 and 9 Victoria, c. 93, in order to entitle goods to be entered as being of and from any British possession (if any benefit attach to such distinction), and to enforce the provisions of the last recited Act, scstions 24, 25, 26, and 27, which prohibit vessels laden with wood goods clearing from parts in the North American Colonies, at certain times of the year, with any part of their cargo on deck. And it is also their duty to observe, so far as the same may relate to the British possessions abroad, the Passengers' Act of the 12 and 13 Vict., c. 33, and 14 c. 1; and the Merchant Seamen's Acts of 7 and 8 Viet., c. 112, and 13 and 14 Vict., c. 93. It forms a material part of the duty of the Comp trollers of Customs and Navigation Laws to fur nish the Inspector General of Imports and Exports, and the Registrar-General of Shipping in London, with the various statistical returns, which aro necessary to enable those officers to prepare the various accounts of trade and navigation which aro annually required to be laid before Parliament.

(Before Mr. Secondary POTTER,) STILWELL V. WHEELER. IMPORTANT DECISION AS TO COSTS.—This was r UI action on a bill of exchange. Defendant pleaded no V' acceptance, on which a summons was taken out Me re Mr. Baron Martin to compel the defendant to admit 1 da signature. The usual order was made, and now put in as evidence, and the jury found for the plaintiff. The plaintiff's Attorney then applied for immedif tte execution, and for a certificate to entitle th© plaintiff to costs, and thus to save the exp ense o f a summons t o attend the JuLige. The Learned SECONDARY said, that as respected E execution it was, except under very particular °from - a stances, granted immediately; but as to the costs 1 is could not interfere. The plaintiff must apply to Judge at Chambers. Piaintiff'a Attorney thought that in a case like this tl is Learned Secondary had or ought to have a discretional I power, for the case bad been before the Learned Judge, who had made the order on the admission, and had al 90 ordered that the defendant should pay the costs of tl ie summons, which was necessary in cJnsequence of d fendant having in the first instance refused to acknoi ledge his hand writing. The Learned SECONDARY said that he had no pow er to grant the certificate, but one of the Learned Judg es would no doubt allow the costs. TESTIMONIAL TO SIR JOH PATTESON.—(THIS DAY.) A deputation of the common law clerks we ited upon Sir John Patteson this afternoon, and preset ited him with a testimonial of respect and esteem, cons list ing of an elaborate silver inkstand. The follow ing address was read on the occasion by Mr. Urqub art, the secretary to the deputation : " To the Right Honourable Si: John Patteson, Knight, one of her Majesty'a most Honourable Privy Coun " The common law clerks of the metropolis, to w hone as a body your Lordship has shown so much kindly )feel ing and courtesy, desiro upon your retirement as a Judge. of the Court of Queen's Bench, to testify the sentin - ,et its of respect they entertain towards your Lordship. " The urbanity experienced by them in your ad rnini7s tration of that part of their professional duties trail/101141 at chambers, combined with your perfect knoT vied;e upon all the suljects submitted to your considexation materially aided them in affording satisfaction to the • principal:, and in obtaining unquestionable justice t ) the client, and converted a somewhat unpleasant ea t ployment into an agreeable occupation. " As humble members of the community they ventur, y to f)rm an estimate or your Lordship's character, sum I respectfully to tender their tribute to the vprightness learning, and logical discrimination which so distin • guished your Lordship while at the bar and upon th. judgment seat. " They lament that by reason of a single bodily in - firmity you should have felt it ri , lat to retire from tha t z bench of which you were to long en ornament, but it i a consolation to know that your valuable services will a t least be preserved in that sphere of judicial usefulness to which her IlLjesty has been graciously pleased to op-. point you. " That you may long be spared to discharge those new duties, and under Divine Providence to enjoy every' happiness this life can afford, is the earnest hope of those who have now the honour to address you. And your Lordship is solicited to acrpt, in ex pression of those feelings, the testimonial which aocom-• panies this address." appro priSistier reply,Joh P en a d tte th so e n de m p a u te tio a n wgriathedefruelwa.nd idded. ; wag t ' l CREIWORNE GA RDENS.—Equestrianarn attrae - Was the fore on Monday night to the numerous amusement_s theserougcuiloto,uoisf Soupier.tgardensrve Amaoffhogrdihuond list er of fhe artistsd ire directorship i m p _ r o . l t l e of vaulting it ; Madlle.

CORN EXCHANGE—WEDNESDAY, Most of the E. amplei on offer in to-day's market were the refuse of Monday's supply. Owing to the fay our able accounts respecting the growing crops, and the large quantity of foreign Flour in first hands, the de mand for all kinds of Wheat of home produce r aka heavy, at barely Monday's currencies. For fors card delivery next to nothing was doing. The import ;a of foreign Wheat have amounted to 4,530 quarters. S - lec'ed qualities of both red and whits were in mode rate request, at lull pricer; but all other kinds were m oral neglected. Jo floating cargoes of Wheat and Itie lien Corn scarcely any transactions were reported. Grinc lines Barley moved off somewhat steadily, at full current but other kinds, including Malt, were very dull. We had only a limited inquiry for Oats, neverless pri acs were supported.
