Since our observations upon the very insulting manner of Sir HARRY SMITH'S recal from the Cape by her MAJESTY'S Colonial Secretary, we are gra tified to observe that the matter has been taken up in a similar manner by the majority of our contempo raries. Reflection has served to convince others, be sides ourselves, that the proceeding in question. was altogether, and in every way most unwarrantable— unwarrantable in the fact and in the mode of its announcement. Than the terms employed by Earl GREY in that memorable dispatch, dated the 14th of last January, in which he informed Sir HARRY of his abrupt and ignominious degradation, none could by possibility have been more intemperate or for that reason more removed beyond the limits of justification. Forgetting, it would seem, the dignity of his Ministerial position, the Colonial Secretary appears, as far as we can judge from this disgraceful document, to have exulted in an opportunity of displaying his capacity as a censorial rhetorician. Printed as that dispatch is in extenso in the pages of the Parliamentary Blue Book just published (pp. 253-256), it must for ever remain against its author as a glaring witness of the fallibility of his judgment and of the intemperance of his language. What renders the matter in question yet more serious cause for regret, is the circumstance that in the very same Blue Book there also appears (pp. 219, 220) a very remarkable com munication—a dispatch, dated the 18th of the pre ceding December, and addressed to Earl GREY by his Excellency the Cape Governor—relating to events which demonstrate beyond all contradiction the cruel injustice of the censure pronounced within four weeks afterwards (namely, before the receipt of that important explanatory document) by the Noble Earl the Chief Secretary of the Colonial Department. If we had nothing else whereby to estimate the real nature of the course pursued by Sir HARRY SMITH in Kafirland, that dispatch alone would be sufficient as a means of affording to his Excellency his full and entire exoneration. Looking at this portion alone of the correspondence referred to, we find therein ample testimony that the eulogistic observations expressed in regard to Sir HARRY by his Grace the COM MANDER IN-CHIEF were dictated, not by the parti ality inspired by his previous career on the field of battle, but by a calm and unprejudiced inquiry into his most recent proceedings. Speaking •in that very sineular document, and one which appears to us to have been hitherto very strangely overlooked, speak ing of the difficulties which bad to be encountered by the notoriously inadequate forces at his disposal, his Excellency remarked, that her MAJESTY'S troops " had to carry on a desultory war over an extent of country twice the size of Great Britain and Ire land, overrun by a moat enterprising horde of sa vages ; and they bad also to occupy twelve forts, the maintenance of which was indispensable." Having thus briefly but significantly alluded to the obstacles in the way of a speedy subjugation of the insurgents, Sir HARRY observes, " had one re trograde step been made, the whole population of British Kafraria woald have. been in a blaze." He was aware, therefore, from the first, of the fearful re sponsibilities devolving upon him as Governor. He knew that the enormous extent of country already specified must continue to be the seat of the war which had broken out—a war, be it remembered, which was wholly attributable to the policy of the Colonial Secretary himself. Added to all which his Excellency wa s perfectly well aware that one retreat ing movement alone on the part of our forces would be the signal for a simultaneous rising of the entire po pulation. It was on account of his knowledge of all that, that the Governor of the Cape still endeavoured to maintain his position, although miserably crippled by the want of additional troops, and although he bad just been deprived of Hottentot levies to the number of two thousand. The proceedings taken by him under this emergency were inadequate and blundering, according to the opinion of Earl GREY. They were judicious and entitled to the very strongest commendation, according to the opinion of the Duke of 'WELLINGTON. Can there be a moment's question as to which of the two judgments should be token as the correct one—that of the Commander-in- Chief or of the Colonial Secretary. The mere proposition is in itself ridiculous. The opinion of Earl GREY even when having reference to matters relating to the toils of colonial government would be received, we imagine, with no small degree of hesitation. Upon military subjects we should feel disposed about as readily to consult Mr. WIDDICOMB. Whereas an encomium such as that pronounced the other evening upon Sir HARRY SMITH in the House of Lords by his Grace the Duke of WELLINGTON !nay be regard e d as o f it se lf a sufficient counterpoise to a hundr e d di spatches such as t h e one wr itt en b y Earl GE NF on the 14th of January. It Would be well , moreover, for all those interested in the recent treatment of Sir HARRY by the mem bers of her MAJESTY'S Government to bear in recol lection that the mere circumstance of his recal from the Cape is no conc l usiveas evidence of any incapacity O D his part eith er a d m i n istrator or as commander. Let it not be forgotte n how equally abrupt and passion a! first peremptory was the recal from of i t s late Earl o ° r f e Et O E: d B : 1134)a i n it ° the se u g. late Governor-General, the conjectured. How Prejudice and much both bad to do w ith . the removal of Sir HARRY matters than may be he Cape is shown clear l y Settili fr om t enough, we conjecture, by the insolent and overb ear i ng dispatch as first announced b in which the fact w by Earl GREY Painful, however , th to his Excellen c Y• ough the arrogant course o f the Government must necess ar il y of the Cape, be to the late Govern or the annoy. ante occasioned to him by t he conduct of Earl G REF, must, we feel as.ured, be m o re than compensat e d b y the noble and timely panegyric pronounced upon him as a milit ary co mmander by his Grace the Duke of WELLINGTON. In another part of this (i;lT's m pression will be found the detail s o f the N ew It eform Bill (! ! !), Co. i p i, : i f which w 're last night delivered to Members r, ct e House of commons. The prtion thereof w hich WAS most anzioubi— Looked for was th at cow. tam rk tanning the names of the si xty - sev - b oroug hs to J 1 which additions were to be made; but more especially the nature and extent of these addi , dons. It was shrewdly (impacted by those who Whig pripensity for 1 were increasing the ewarre Parliamentary he lizif intentary influence of the peg, how profaning Whig PrillciPles that 4 were LONDON, judicious selection would be made of the districts which I were to be transferred fr o m the county to the borough constituf ncies, and that the change would be anything but injurious to the interests of "the party." A cursory glance at the third column of the second schedule will show that these experienced men have not been mistaken. A fair opportunity for a job could not be resisted by "the happy family." Accordingly we find that the alteration will by no means render the constituencies more independent, or more opposed to undue influences then they had formerly been. The patron will still be enabled to obtain the " most sweet voices" of a majority of the electors in favour of his nominee. He may, perhaps, be obliged to take a little more trouble, and to form new alliances offensive and defensive with families in the vicinity. The Messrs. EDWARDS, BLAGGS, et hoc genus onme, may be compelled to take some extra trouble, for which they will take care that they receive extra remuneration. " The Corrupt Prac tices at Elections Bill" will, of course, impose the ne cessity of greater caution, but the conflicting parties —those who are ready to bring out " the golden key," and are only desirous of securing a contest on any terms—will, of course, enter into arrangements to prevent any exposure, the result of which must be equally prejudicial to all. We know that at St. Albans the " purity of election" party were exceedingly anxious that their candidate should act in direct opposition to the principle on which they brought him forward. Under the more stringent regulations now introduced, we shall find that complaints of the existence of " bribery" or " treating" will no longer be preferred, but that there will be a mutual understanding on these points by the agents of the belligerents. Of course, where there is a recognised patron, or where an ambitious gentleman desirous of senatorial honours, hands out large sums of money, so as to have many of the free and independent electors completely at his 1 mercy, there will be no probability of a complaint, or even if there were—although the moral taint might be clearly established—there would be no legal guilt that would justify the excision of the offending constituency from the list of boroughs returning re presentatives to Parliament. We do not then look forward to the gradual extinction of the minor bo roughs which Lord JOHN RUSSELL now considers essential to the maintenance of " the balance of the Constitution," nor do we think that there is any reasonable prospect of a progressive reform under the series of measures brought forward by her MAJESTYS Government. But, as if to show more clearly and distinctly that the object was Rot to abridge patronage, or to prevent the usurpation by individuals of the rights of the many, we find that some of the rotten bo roughs, which bad been disfranchised in 1832, are now restored. Their quondam opponent has manifestly repented him of his severity, and is desirous of holding out the olive branch to those whom he had formerly assailed. We find that many of those which in 1832 were included in schedule A are now to be restored to their former position. Saltasb, Boroughbridge, East Looe, Stockbridge, Camelford, and many others, resume at least a portion of their pristine importance. Like RIP TAN WINKLE, they have had prolonged slumbers, and, like the great dreamer, will be restored but little the worse for their protracted repose. And this is what the Noble Lord calla " a Reform Bill 1" and which his toadies are prepared to exalt to the skies as one of the brightest illustrations of modern legislation ! We bad previously formed no very exalted estimate of the measure. As we have already shown, it seemed, even on the first impres sion, to be totally opposed in principle to it s great antecedent, to be intended rath e r t o prom ote the interests of the Whig party than of the community at large. That we were not mistaken in the conclusion at which we arrived will be sufficiently shown by a perusal of the list of places that are in. eluded in the third column of schedule B, to the ex clusion of many important and populous towns in the manufacturing districts. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The I'ays has an article giving an unqualified approval to the ciicuiar of the Minister ot the Interior respecting the approaching elections. It says that the ballot will be tree, but it will be enlightened; that it would be as absurd as dangerous to expect from universal suffrage an initiative or which it has not in itself the power, and that unless the electors be properly edified by com petent counsel as to the merits of the candi dates they will become the tools of demagogues. "Let then," adds the writer, " universal suffrage be directed, the ballot free, and the electors weal advised, that is what is required. In that way the Government and the country will be placed in the situation which suits each. The Government will say frankly to the country what it expects from its reason and prudence; and the country will reply by a vote of confidence, which will bare so much the more authority that it will be at the same time a vote of patriotism and dignity." The ball given on Wednesday night by the Minister of War was very numerously attended. 3,200 cards of invitation had been issued, and the company included the highest military notabilities, members of the Senate, of the magistracy , an d a num b er o f t h e fi rst pu bli c func tionaries. A. captain, a lieutenant, and a sub-lieutenant from each regiment in the garrison were present. The Princess MATHILDE, and a great number of ladies in the most brilliant toillettev, were amongst the company, which included the diplomatic corps, and all the Mi nisters, many of them in grand official costume. Inde pendently of the saloons, a gallery, beautifully deco rated, had been constructed in the garden, capable of containing 1,200 persons. The walls were hung with arms, in imitation of the armoury at the Tower of London, and, from the numerous lights, had a brilliant ff et. Refreshments of the most exquisite kind were served in abundance, and dancing was kept up until past seven in the morning. The Academy ot Sciences have elected M. ALFRED DE MIJSSET and M. SERRYER iR place of the late M. L)UPATY and M. DE SAINT-PRIEST. The choice has to be submitted to the approbation of the PRINCE PRE• SIDENT. Amongst the persons condemned by the High Court of Justice at B - Jurger, fur the affair of the 15th May, was M. HUBER, one of the most ardent leaders of the ultra republican party, and who had undergone previously many years' imprisonment, under the reign of Louis PHILIPPE. After the vote of the Plebiscite, M. HUBER, who has for some time past been in the prison of Belle- Ile, addressed a long letter to Louis NAPOLEON, in which he recognised the right that he now has under the vote of abuse seven millions of electors to expect adhesion to his Government, and candidly admits that resistance to him in such circumstance would betray an utter want of patriotism. M. HUBER then entreats from the clemency of the PRINCE ouch a commutation of his punishment as would enable him to enjoy better air, with a view to the amelioration of his health, which has suffered materially from long confinement. The PRINCE has gone much further in the way of clemency than the petition asked. He generously ordered that M. MINER shall be liberated from prison without being required to subscribe to any condition. _ _ _ The instructions given by the Ministers of the Inte rior, War, and Justice, by order of the PRINCE PRESI DENT, wit h a view to the speedy liberation of the per sons arrested tor the events of December, in whose fa vour clemency could be exercised without compromising the interests of order, are being acted upon to the fullest extent in all the departments were arrests had taken place. The Committee of the Dramatic Authors have bad an audience of the PRESIDENT of the Republic, for the ex press purpose of thanking him for the international trea ties, which had been recently concluded, and which se cured to the French authors all the advantages attached to literary property of French authors abroad. The President replied to M. VIENNET, who was the organ of the committee, that he had been long devoted to letters and the arts, and that he was anxious that they should under his Government attain the highest degree of pros ptrity. The committee afterwards entered on the ques tion of the diminution of the tax levied for the poor, to which Prince LOUIS NAPOLEON replied with great kindness, but with all the reserve which the subject de manded. The Bourse was remarkably firm,_ and public securi ties rose considerably as compared with the closing prices of the day Wore.

Thg- QUEEN was convalescent, so much so that' the book which %pita opened at the Palace for the names o f persons making inquiries as to her health, had been closed. The body of the regicide Maximo had been burned. him a document i n w hi ch he declared tha t and his ashas thrown into th e moat. The reg i c id e he blbehindU! occcoplicto in his ntreciens design. SATURDAY EVENING, Previous' to his execution, MERINO wrote a letter to the QUEEN, expressing deep contrition for his crime. He solemnly repeated this declaration al ud, and added that it was quite true that be had accomplice, that ho had commicet d the crime of his own • free will, that he again demanded pardon of GOD, the QUEEN, and the Royal family, as also of all to whom he had done wrong. He observed that he also demanded pardon of the clergy for the disgrace he had brought on them. When the fatal hoar had arrived MERINO was placed on an ass, to be conveyed to the scaffold. An immense crowd was 'assembled before the prison, but it dis played neither agitation nor wrath. The authorities had taken imposing precautions for the preservation of order. It is said that the officer commanding the escort remarked to MERINO Ft" he left the prison:— " You have the face of a monste..!" to which he replied, "And you have the head of a monkey !" On the way to the scaffold the regicide, who had recovered all his as surance. carried his head erect and gua-d on ail sides. When he arrived he was kept waiting till twenty minutes past one o'clock, the time at which the crime had been perpetrated. Shortly. before the fatal moment he as cended the steps of the scaffold with great firmness, at tended by two priests. He took his seat on the fatal bench, and cast a look full of assurance on the crowd, which amounted to nearly 40,000 persons. The execu tioner then did his office. At that moment some cries for the QUEEN were raised. It is said that on seati, g himself the regicide repeated word for word the last de claration he had written to the QUEEN. When he was dead, one of the priests addressed a brief and appropriate spc e3h to the crowd, which shortly after dispersed. No Bourse, as it was Sunday.

THE LONDON FEVER HOSPITAL.—The annual meeting of the governors of this institution was held yester day at the Freemasons' Tavern. The Earl of Devon pre sided. It appeared from the report that 677 patients had been admitted into the hospital in 1851, of whom 740 had b ee n cured, 83 had. died, and 103 r ema i ne d un d er treatment . The audited accounts set forth that the income for the same year was 1,6091. and the expenditure 2,2691. This deficit had been partly made up by the circumstance of three small legacies, amounting together to 5091. As it may not happen again that legacies may come Mao opportunely, the benevo lent will see the necessity of being liberal in support of this excellent charity. The appointment of a chaplain having been referred to a committee, and some other business gone through, the meeting broke up. REPRESENTATION OP THE CITY OF had been r eques t e d to o ff er himself as a NORWICH.— A report has been in circulation in this city, that T. 0. Springfield, Es€l , candidate for the representation. Upon inquiry, we learn that some of the members of the King's Arias Clab made a suggestion upon the subject, but that nothing has arisen from it. If we might venture an opinion, we should say that Mr. Springfield is too shrewd a man to be induced to undertake such a proposaL Mr. Springfield's experience has shown him the evils attendant on a citizen and resident who is the representative of his native town, and such a city as Norwich, to say nothing of the sacrifices which in other respeets he is called upon to make. We suspect the whole rt atter is no• thing more than mere club gossip.—Norwich Mercury. CONCISE REPLY OF THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON - " The gallant Duke" lately met a young clergyman, who being aware of his Grace's former residence in the East, and of his familiarity with the ignorance and obstinacy of the Hindoos in support of their false religion, gravely proposed the following question :- " Does not your Grace think it almost useless and extravagant to preach the Gospel to the Hindoos?" The Duke immediately rejoined—" Look, Sir, to your marching orders preach the Gospel to every creature." (Mark xvi. 15.) INVITATION OF ENGLISH ENGINEERS TO BELGIUM. —A private letter from Liege announces that one of the partners of a very large iron-foundry and engineering estab lishment in the environs of that city has come over to Eng land for the purpose of entering into arrangements with a certain number of English machinists, at very excellent wages, to go over to Belgium, as in consequence of the work ing engineers' strike in England, the different manufactories for steam-engines, locomotives, r a il s , & c ., have received so many extensive orders from A us t r i a , R uss i a , and other parts of the continent, that they are obliged to take en a consider able number of hands to complete them within tie time spe cified. The unfortunate strike of the working England, it appears , -Ls been taken advantage of by the large establish establishments at Liege, Verviers, Muns, and others in B e l g ium and in France, h as they engineers in have increased the num ber of workmen to finish orders that evidently would have been given to the London, Birmingham, Manchester, and other extensive firms. The millers of Stourbridge have been "at play' , for a fortnight, in consequence of the masters' demand of a reduction of 10 per cent. in wages.

The sales amounted to 8,000 bales, including 2,000 which were taken on specula tion and export. In Shares there was a good amount of business transacted. In the early part of the day the Market was very firm, but towards the close it was flatter, and par ties evinced some anxiety to :ell. The weekly statement of the Bank of England, to the 7th instant, gives us again an increase in the specie, but a large curtailment of circulation. This arises only in part, how ever, from reduced employment of money, the great addition to the public deposits being sufficient to account for it to some extent, although there was a slight falling off in dis counts. The lessening of private deposit accounts we may attribute to the increasing investments iu stocks and shares. Compared with the previous return, the changes are as follevrs : Notes Issued ...
