JULY 31, 1852. Yesterday we bhowed by calculation, the accuracy of which cannot possibly be disputed, that out of the 654 newly elected Member s of the House of Com mons, the Opposition has a ine • • against the Government. There a re, of Forty-one exactly Forty-one Roman Catholi csaret moreover, that the Cath numbered amongst the new representatives-- so lics returned to the Legislature give the majority oto the Opposition. Already two of the Members re cently returned have departed this life, havi ng b ee n carried off by su dden indisposition. Mr. Deneurar one of the elected of Oldham has, in this m anner, been followed very rapidly by Mr. WATsoN, one of the elected of Peterborough. There are consequently 652 representatives prepared at this moment to obey the Royal proclamation by which her Most Gracious Keener will, somewhere about the third week o f October, summon her faithful Parliament to as semble in the legislative palace at Westminster. Altogether tire right " complement '' of the House of Commons would of course be 658 representatives• The disfranchisement of Sudbury and St. Albans (both returning formerly two Members) has reduced the aggregate to 654: and this again has been tvifhin the fast few days reduced to 652 by the un "Petted demise of, first, one of the Members for Oldham, and, secondly, of one of the Nein hers for Peterborough.

By reason of the late is a universal desire to repeal the entire tax. enactmero:s in reference to Bribery tad Corruption, When Sir CHARLES WOOD attempted to increase the the number of petitions must obviously be very charge from 2 11-12ths to 5 per cent. the clamour greatly increased, and the labours of Committeemen was not against the higher cht3rge. but against the very egregiously multiplied.

Derby, nevertheless, is very far indeed from being an isolated instance of the imperative need of the ballot as the most effectual preventative at once of bribery, corruption, treating, and intimidation. The petitions about to be submitted to the notice of the House of Commons against these kind of delinquencies are more numerous in themselves, and at the same time more flagrant in their revelations, than has ever been known upon any previous general election. The significance of these facts we are sanguine may not ultimately be lost upon the more intelligent of Parliamentary Reformers. From a knowledge of circumstances so extraordinary we are hopeful that we shall have reason to an nounce the conversion of many to a just and ra tional appreciation of the ballot. Without the ballot we feel assured that it is idle to dream of securing anything like the purity of election, or the independence of voters. With the ballot it is obvious that there could be no excuse for those disgraceful scenes of rioting w hi c h have led recently, in or two instances, to t the destruction ofthe ly) en dangering of the lives o f those possessors and to the so s rsof thefran chise who have been recognised as the supporters of an obnoxious candidate. As the watchword for representative reform, therefore, we would more loudly and pertinaciously than ever demand again and again—the Ballot—the Ballot—the Ballot. Distributin g men tioned the 76 Liberal Conservatives yesterday among the numbers of the Opposition and the supporters of the Government, the total number of Liberals will be found to be 370, and the total number of Derbyites 284—leaving, as we have shown by the first rough estimate, a clear majority of 86 against the Administration. The distribution of the Members thus enumerated as on the side of the Cabinet, is as follows : English boroughs ... English counties . Welsh boroughs Welsh counties Scotch boroughs Scotch counties Irish boroughs Irish counties Universities 107 110 Total ... • • ... 84 The distribution of the Members of the Opposition on the other hand, is as subjoined:—.

What is to be done with the income-tax ? That is a problem which must be solved early in the approaching session. No fiscal question can be in troduced until that all-important one has been finally disposed of. It is perfectly clear that no Chancellor of the Exchequer, 'whether Whig or Tory, Conservative or Radical, Protectionist or Free-trader, can by a possibility provide for the liquidation of the public liabilities and the maintenance of the national establishments, if the charge be suffered to expire, unless it be renewed, and that in a permanent form. No changes or improvements can be effected. There must be a daficiency, worse even than that which existed at the time of the original imposition of the tax. The feeling of the people is decidedly in favour of direct taxation, and the removal or mitigation of the charges on industry, pressing chiefly on the less wealthy classes. No degree of ingenuity or mysti fication will induce them to consent to a renewal of a bread tax, in any *hap or under any name. It will not be sanctioned either for revenue purposes or for the sake of protection. It is, to all intents and purposes, finally and for ever abandoned, and woe to the party who should attempt its revival ; nor indeed will any indi rect tax meet with much greater favour. The people can no longer be bamboozled by the notion that they are free from burdens so long as the taxgatherer is absent from their doors. They have be come but too painfully aware of the fact that the tax ultimately falls on the consumer, no matter by whom it may be paid in the first instance—that the malt-tax increases the price of every pot of beer, not merely by the just propor tion of what is paid into the national Exchequer, but also by the effects of the practical monopoly thereby created, and the profits of the various parties through whose bands the article passes, from the time of its being first wetted, until it is quaffed by the thirsty coalheaver. The washerwoman or se mp s t ress k now s that the tax on tea does not merely increase the price of her pound of good strong Congou—" the service ! able article strongly recommended for family use"— . by 2s. eid,, but that it leads to the adulteration of the commodity, and prevents her from obtaining a really wholesome and refreshing beverage at a reason able price. By means of these imposts consump tion is materially checked, and we are prevented from finding customers for our manufactures bin consequence. There is but little doubt that if tea were untaxed t h e consumpt i on wou ld b e four fold w h at i t is at the present, and the additional quantity would b e - ' atd for by our manufactures. The Select Committee on the tea duties reported that there was "no limit to the demand in China for our national productions but the capacity of pay ingwi p erfectly f or th em ." The assertion eo that in place o f ouri t way true, into money fi nding the pockets of the foreigner it would really go to our manu facturers, and i n payme n t of the wages of our artizane and operatives. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Illoniteur announces that M. DE CASABIANCA has tendered his resignatior, which has been ac cepted, and that he has been appointed a member of the Senate. The Marquis DE TURGOT is also appointed a mem ber of the Senate. The Patric says that the PRESIDENT of the Repub lic has granted an annual dotation of 30,000 f. to M. LEPEBYRE-DURUFLE as a senator. Two of the journals notice, with the view of dia. crediting, a pretended treaty, published by the Morn ing Chronicle, between the Emperors of Russia and AUSTRIA and the King of PRUSSIA, and dated the 20th of May, 1852. The Presse says:— " We will prove rbat this diplotnaiic document rests on no solid basis, and tact it witl be sufficient to discuss to overthrow it." The language of the Assemblie .Nationale is still more unequivocal, for it declares, manner, that no such treaty exists. If the treat y be an invention, it is useless to discuss its co ntents. The Assemblee says : in the most p ositive " In the first place we will observe that all the infor mation and all the details given by the engagements f the three powers were already given in ono or two letters from Paris, published by the Times, about two months agn, after the visit of the Emperor of Russia to Germany. We can now affirm that the treaty, of which the Morning Chronicle speaks, does not exist. At about midnight on Wednesday, a fire broke out in the apartments of the Minister of the Interior, caused by the imprudence of the femme de chambre of Mine. DE PERSIGNY, who, after lighting a wax candle with a chemical match, threw it aside, and set fire to some of the drapery of the room. The whole bed-room of Mme. DE PERSIGNY was immediately in flames, and Mme. DE PERSIGNY had only time to escape and to rejoin her husband, who was still in his study. The Minister gave the necessary orders, and assistance was immediately on the spot. The Minister of General Police, whose hotel adjoins that of the Minister of the Inte rior, seeing the flames, speedily arrived, and seconded the exertions of his colleague. Tee fire threatened to extend to the other part of the hotel, but by the exertions of the firemen and soldiers, who promptly n rendered assistance, it was confined to the room which it first broke out and the adjoining salon, in which a considerable portion of the furniture was destroyed. Prince JEROME BONAPARTE returned to Havre on Wednesday accompanied by his aides-de-camp. According to the Patric the following decrees are contemplated : " 1. For the recognition as an e stablishment of public utility in the whole of the French territory of the ' Congregation des Freres de l'lnstruction Cht edenne da Saint Esprit, and the approbation of its statutes. 2. For authorising the creation of a depot of mendicity for the Gere. 3. For making a concession of land at Mare unique and Guadeloupe for founding an agricultural colony by means of immigration. 4. For modifying arti cles 3, 19, and 35 of the statutes of the Assurance Com- Pithy against damage by bail-storms, particularly in the Seine-et-Marne. 5.

For recognising the Horticultural Society of Paris and centre of France, as an establish ment of public utility. It is also in contemplation to make considerable modifications in the charges of th e ?owes Funebres of Paris." The following circular, dated Macon, July 23, has been addressed by the Prefect of the Saone et Loire to the sub-Prefects, Mayors, &c., of the depart ment : " Gentlemen,—l have had to adopt severe measures against a great number of the proprietors of cafes and wine shops after the events of December; that was but justice, for their establishments had sere , d as places of meeting for demagogues, who threatened to overthrow society, without their opposing such meetings or inform ing the authorities of them. Since that tun., wishing to unite in the acts of clemency of the Prince President, I have authorised the re-openire• of all those establish ments, the proprietors of which have testified their re pentance, and promised me not to tolerate any meetings of the enemies of the Government. I am pleased to hope that they will keep their promises. If it should be otherwise, and if particularly on the occasion of the next elections their establishments should become the theatre of fresh disturbances or the focus of electoral i n trigues and socialist propaganda, I shall not hesitate to pro nounce their definite and irrevocable closing. I beg you, gentlemen, to give to the persons who have been the objects of these measures of severity the necessary warn ing to that effect. It is better to prevent than to have to repress. You will please make known to me the result of the investigations which you may have made in accordance with the object of the present circular. " Receive, &c, (Signed) " GUSTAVE DE ItOMAND." A funeral service was performed on Thursday morning in the church of St. Paul, Rue St. Antoine, i n memory of the victims of July, 1830. After the ceremony, some few groups proceeded to the Column of the Bastille, and then quietly dispersed. A new circus, destined for equestrian perform ances during the winter is being constructs-d on the Boulevard des Filles du Calvaire. The soil has been raised so as to place the entrance on a level with the Boulevards. The circus is in the form of a polygon, and is so much larger than the summer circus, that it will admit of twenty rows of seats instead of six teen, and will accommodate 1,000 spectators more. The building is already considerably advanced. The entrance is to be ornamented by equestrian groups, one of which was executed by the late PRADIER, and the other is now being made by MM. DURIOT and Bosco. The interior is to be tastefully decorated, but it will not present the same aspect as the summer circus, as it will be almost in the form of an ancient amphitheatre.

No Minister can remain stationary, there must be progress, and that more especially i n fiscal matters. Various circumstances led to the Postponement of the discussion, and the temporary renewal of the tax without alteration or amendment. No excuse can, however, again be accepted. Itmust be settled in some shape before the sth of April next, and we b ye the authority of the leading men of both inclut ling some of her MAJESTY'S Ministers, that it cann c t be perpetuated in its present objectionable form —that it must be rendered more equitable be fore it can be renewed.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY. TWO O'CLOCK. There was a fair general inquiry for Cotton at Liver pool yesterday, sales 10,000 bales, including 4,000 for export and speculation. The market closed steadily. —Railway shares were very dull. The weekly return from the Bank of England shows, up to the 24th instant, a less active movement than pre viously. The dividend and quarterly payments having been made, the amount to the credit of the public trea sury is much reduced, and probably was at its minimum in this return. The private balances of parties keeping banking accounts were considerably aucmented, the surplus from income accounting tor that change, and it would appear that there was a slight increase in the demand for money, judging by the addition made to the other securities. This tallies, indeed, with statements current within the last day or two, that discounts were more sought after, and we should imagine that the re vived c..tten speculation, and the indigo and wool auc tions, would take up a good deal of spare cash. The Bank has either been a seller of stock or Exchequer bills, or has had such securities withdrawn by partied who obtained loans upon them. Compared with the previous week, the changes are as follows: — Notes Issued 35,708.075 Increase ... ..„ 48,965 3,194.140 Rest Increase ...
