Mr. Humes letter, on the expediency of forming a People's party in Parliament, (and on which we made some remarks a few days ago,) naturally con tinues to excite a great deal of notice and discussion. We see it quoted in almost all the country journals, many of which give extended comments upon it. The general impression appears to be, that of all men in the House of Commons, the veteran leader, Mr. Hume, is best qualified to form that party—to lead it, and to keep it together. Mr. Huasa is a rare instance of the force of consistency and industry, and the weight which they obtain in and out of Parlia ment. He is clear-headed, though he has not the gift of eloquence. He is quick at the detection and earnest in the exposure of abuses. He was an economist at a time when a weak and wrecked Ministry were perti nacious in wasting the o publiche most money, certain waye was a re of former, 'ellen to be s was t obtaining obloquy. He denounced jobbery, when his doing so rendered him obnoxious, even to persons professing to desire reform. He has steadily worked his way up to his present commanding position. H e has done this without the aid of aristocratic connexion, and, indeed, in the very teeth of it. He was long de nounced as a democrat and a demagogue, but has out lived that calumnious imputation. The Throne has no stauncher friend,—the People no sincerer cham pion. He has seen other men, who came into the field at the eleventh hour, receiving the reward of his labours. He mainly organized the Wbig party, which upset the DUKE and Sir ROBERT ; but that par ty shamefully neglected him. We have often thought what a first- rate Chancellor of the Exche quer he would have made,—we doubt whether he was ever offered any office under the Crown. N ay, though equal in wealth to the majority of the Com moners on whom the honour has been conferred, his Whig friends never paid him even the compliment of making him a Privy Councillor. In fact, Mr. Huse is not quite the stuff of which they ma k e officials and Privy Councillors. He has been too independent for those in power. He has a way of telling unpleasant truths, and he continues to have no mercy upon abuses. It is to his credit (and the circumstance is honourably mentioned in Mr DIZRARLI% "Lord GEORGE BENTINCIE, a Poli tical Biography,") that though no man has had more provocation, Mr Heats has never once lost his temper in the House of Commons. The Hull Advertiser, in which Mr HUME'S letter first appeared, says—" We wasthi nkit would not bs dif ficult to show that even hemuch more successful in forming com b i na t io ns against bad o t government unit e t than he appears to b e aware of. His efforts pu blic to resist oppression were n Rousllan thrown p r . o ß sy s, aw ay." It ad ds— " When the late Sir took Mr HUME aside into one of the Committee- Rooms Mee- Rooms of t he House of Commons, andsubmitted for his opini on his Free trade Tariff, bef ore allowing a whisper ab out it to be heard in Parliament, was not that tantamount to an acknowledgment that the R on. Member for Montrose had net been unsuccessful i n leading an opposition against the Government? Mr. HumE has, doubtless, expetienced great ingratitude in his day. What public man, that ever served his Country as he has done, but did experience ingrati tude? But Mr. HUME'S great mistak3 was in pitch ing his standard of public virtue too high. He fancied that all who agreed with him upon great questions would be prepared to do as he has done—devote their whole lives to the service of their Country without Court favour, (Alice, or other reward than the approv ing testimony of a good conscience." Notwithstand ing he is prepared to make another attempt to make a popular party, and he will make the Ballot the strong and connecting link in the chain of union. Our °win opinion on the Ballot has been often declared. It is the necessity of the time. Without it, there never can be a Government resolute in doing the best for the people. With it, we shall have fair and free representation, the basis of honest legislation. In no part of the United Kingdom is there now, nor can there be, anything like a free Election. Either landlords' dictation, or the influence of the clergy, or some other screw, is put on, to prevent fair voting. The elector does not go free to the poll, as he can and does go in countries where there is the protection of the Ballot. Another reason in favour of taking the Ballot as the basis of the new popular organization will be found in the fact, that all the avowed Liberals in the House of Commons are decidedly in favour of it. T he mere Whigs dislike it—but nobody minds them. The aristocracy, who send so many of their Members into the House where none but the representatives of the Comm/At-9 of Eng land should sit, will be very unanimous in opposing the Ballot ; and for the obvious reason that, with the Ballot, very few of the sons, brothers, nephews, and even relations of Peers, would be returned to Parliament if there were free election. The people would then select their own men—as it is, they have men thrust on them whom they do not care for, on whom they cannot depend, and with whom they have little sympathy. A new and improved state of things would be the result of the introduction of the Ballot. Come to it we must. We are persuaded that the great body of reformers in this Kingdom will speedily accept Mr. Humis as the leader of the new organization. One great thing in his favour, is the fact that he is not that milk-and-water nondescript—a Whig. Another is, that he is not possessed by any crotchet in politics, — he is not wedded to the fustian theories of the ultra portion of the talkers called " the Manchester School," nor does he quite believe that the expendi ture of 1837 is adequate for the vastly in creased population which has sprung up in the last fifteen years,—least of all does he think, with the Peace party, that the defence of this country can best be maintained by putting our " wooden walls " out of commission, and by disbanding our military forces. We do not imagine, either, that Mr. HUMS believes that the welfare of England entirely depends on the quantity of cotton-twist which is turned out by the hands in Lancashire. But he does believe that great savings may be effected by eco nomy in the public expenditure, and that public money should not be paid away, under any pretence, or to any person, without an equi valent. We shall expect, by the way, that one of Mr. HUME's motions, early in the next Session, will be for an humble Address to the QUEEN, praying her to direct that the pensions 10,599/. 2s. so long paid to the Dukes of GaArTON, of 1,595/. a year to Earl CowPER, of 2,9001. per annum to the Heirs of the Duke of SCHOMBERG, and of 1,2001. to "the Assignees of the late CHARLES BOONE" (actually granted to reward the cerruption of PULTENEY, Earl of BATH) shall be discontinued at once and for ever. The sum total of thew burthens on the people is 14,294/. a year—a very pretty saving to commence with. Mr. HUME, as an economist, has done much for the public, not only with regard to the abuses he exposed and checked, but those which the certainty of his vigilance pre vented from being attempted. It is formally acknowledged by the Edinburgh Review, one of the recognized pursuivants of History, wearing its heraldic tabard of blue-and-buff—that the Free-trade journalists have not been in error in de claring that Her MAJESTY'S Ministers have explicitly and deliberately abandoned the policy of that long obsolete and defunct system called Protection. In testimony of this, allusion is made to the memorable manifesto issued from his retreat at Haghenden Manor, Bucks, by the Right Hon. BENJAMIN DISRAELI, in his threefold capacity, as Cabinet Minister, as Leader of the House of Commons, and as CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. That docu ment the Edinburgh naturally enough regards as altogether conclusive. It perceives at once that it means absolutely nothing at all, or that it means the most clear and straightforward recognition of the permanence of those extraordinary changes which were effected in 1846 by Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Ca binet, and subsequently confirmed and extended by the innovations assured to the country by Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S Government. " Mr. DISRAELI," says our contemporary, " renounces all inten tions of proposing a recurrence to the laws which, previously to 1146 had protected the great producing interests of the country:" adding, " These laws were the Corn-laws and the Act regulating the sugar duties ; the Navigation Laws were not repealed till 1849, but they appear to be included in the purport of his proposition." Yes! Of this at least, there can happily no longer be any doubt whatever. The members of the DERBY Cabinet have foregone as hopeless the shadowy chance which might still have tempted them on to the agitation of the old monopo list bugbear in the discussions of the Imperial Legislature. Instead of blindly pursuing this infatuated course they have long since declared, through the lips of one of their most distinguished leaders, that they bow to the necessity if they cannot yet fully recognize the wisdom of the repeal in 1846, of the laws affecting corn, and afterwards in 1849, of those affecting navigation. To this they are, indeed, now long since pledged. Those gallant and promising advocates of the cheap-loaf system, therefore, who are in a few days to muster in great force in the Free trade Hall, at Manchester, will consequently find ample reason to exult in the present situation of affairs, in reference at any rate to the total abandonment of the Protectionist views hitherto maintained by the statesmen constituting the existing Government. Another gratifying circumstance connected with the future policy of the DERBY Administration is recognized no l ess c l ear l y b y t h e Ed in b urgh—the circumstance, namely, that the principal Members of that Cabinet perceive the necessity of con solidating the system of Free-trad e as cautiouslyand securely as possible, and of effecting this, mo reover, by the popular method of r i gorously ' raising the system of taxation. An ink ling of this, among other advantages " looming i n the future," was given by Mr. DISRAELI in the course of his first rapidly-prepared financial state ment. The whole truth, however, was candidly " blurted out " a little later on by the same Right Hon. Gentleman in the document already referred to, in which he addressed himself to the electors of the shire of Buckingham immediately prior to the event of the Dissolution. " Having thrown aside the Protectionist system," says the Edinburgh, " he (Mr Distuzu) tries to find some other remedy for the evils inflicted on the native-producing interests, by unrestricted competition with the foreign producers. Feeling of course, as they do, such a determination on the part of Her MAJESTY'S Ministers cannot but be comprehensible to ns Free-traders and Radical Re formers. Believing that such a remedy is nowa days the thing most imperatively requisite, they naturally go in search of it at once, as the first object to be pursued under the circumstances by their Go vernment. Mr. DISRAELI believes he has found it in a diminution of the cost of production. His endeavour is, consequently, to force the same conviction, if possible, upon the minds of the majority of the Parliament. Nay, he goes further than simply intimating that such is his own individual impression. He bluntly announces that it is the intention of Her MAJESTY'S Ministers to recommend this scheme to the serious and immediate consideration of the Legis lature. Hence the M inisterial project—a grand one of itself—for thoroughly and systematically re - vising the present system of taxation. From an en'erprize having this tendency, we are sa tisfied th a t muc h benefit must necessarily accrue to the population. Our reliance upon the sound judg ment of the House of Commons collectively, as a body, is such that we look forward to this revision of taxa tion without the s h a d ow o f en anxiety or one instant's 4 repidation. F or t una t e l y (if suc h a word can be con sidered in any sense applicable to suc h a su bj ec t), fortunately one thing is tolerably evident by way of security to the people of England—and that is, that scarcely any system o f t axation could be adopte d i n lieu of the present more glaringly calculated to injura the community through the deplorable inequality of its operations. Regarding the matter in its worst light, therefore, change whatever can scarcely prov e otherwise any than for the national advantage. There is no fear of our walking from the frying-pan into the fire—.we bit" THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 18, 1852 long been comfortably frizzling away in the latter agreeable predicament. It must have been welcome intelligence, therefore, to the great mass of society in the United Kingdom, to learn that Her MAJESTY'S Ministers are about to submit a project for the re vision of taxation to the careful scrutiny of the newly elected Parliament. Scarcely less welcome intelligence than it was to us Free-traders, that all the idle heartburnings of so many years, were about to be put an end to by the formal abandonment of Pro tection by the leaders of the now dominant Govern ment. Another reflection—forming a corollary to this avowed recognition of Free-trade, and their promised revision of taxation—will be grateful to the hearts of the multitude, as reminding them of the ultimate cer tainty of good resulting from the toils of the Administration. It cannot for an instant be forgotten, that unless the present rulers of the British Empire are equal in every way to the imminence of the occasion, unless they fully appreciate the requirements of the age, unless they manfully adopt (as well as admit) the Free-trade system as , inevitable, unless they revise the system of taxation justly and accurately—they must inevitably fall from office, in obedience to the law of political gravitation. 'Without the essentials of modern States manship, they will very speedily find supping even from their most tenacious grasp, the delicate and com plicated reins of the Government. LIBERATION ABD-EL-KADER. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) (From the Morning Post.) PARIS, MONDAY, 10.16 A.M. Louis Napoleon, indulging the suggestions of his heart, has liberated Abd-el-Kader. MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocx. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were about 15,000 bales, of which exporters took 2,000 and speculaters 5,000. The market ruled firm with rather higher prices. Railway Shares were steady. The accounts from the United States are to the 7th inst. The Stock Market was flitter, partly in conse quence of an extensive defalcation in a large banking house, but the individual had not been a speculator in stocks, as it was afterwards discovered, having invested his purloined funds in real estate. The fall in quotations during the week had been 5 to 10 per cent., and several of the leading fancies were selling at prices lower than had been known for months. The steamer Ohio having arrived fromealifornia with 200,000 dol. in gold dust was expect ed to give an improved tone to the market. Among the causes of the existing flatness, we must not forget to mention the large accumulations of specie in the Sub- Treasury, rendering the banks cautious in their dis counts. The imports br some weeks had been very heavy, and the paymelts for duties unusually heavy but the season was draving to a close, and Government disbursements would aeon circulate the money in the Treasury. There had been a moderate demand for exchange in London, at 101 to i o The balance of trade against New York, during the nine months to Sept. 30, was 5,219,795 dollars. The amount of gold deposited in the Philadelphia Mitt during the 9 months was over 36,000,000 dollars. The exports of bullion from New York this year to the 2d inat., had been 21,000,000 dollars. The Californian news appears to be as encouraging as ever, and quartz crushing was proving very successful. At Nevada, one mill, alter 48 hours' trial, turned outi 6,400 dolls. A new amalgamator had been discovered, and was proving very successful. From the Ist of January to Sep tember, 8 marks, 29,195,965 dolls. had been exported in gold. From Nicaragua we have rumoured discoveries of gold mines, about 80 miles from San Juan del Norte. Coal beds had also been found. At Valparaiso, on the Ist Sept., flour was dearer. Freights had materially advanced. Copper ores to Swansea, 31. 55., and Guano to England 3/. per ton. The steamer Orinoco, with the West India Mail, has 456,028 dolls. in specie on board, and 200,000 dolls. were left behind at Panama, in consequence of the state of the road. The rate of exchange at Jamaica was I per cent. 90 days, on London. The first departure of emigrants to Australia bad taken place. The seasons had set in at Falmoutb, and hopes ire entertained that the next crop will be abundant. It .a stated that ground provisions have been very scarce this year, both from diminished growth and a disease resembling potato rot. The Jamaica Bank had declared a dividend of 3 per cent., a tritlng falling off having occurred in the gross profits of the half-year. The Planter's Bank had been doing tolerably well. The following statement from a Trelawny (Jamaica) newspaper is interesting, and deserves attention : " The article of sugar has taken a sudden and rapid rise in price, consequent upon the shortness of our crops and the exportation of the greater portion of it. Sales have been e ffected at 251. per hogshead ; and the article has been disposed of in barrels at the rate of 304 per hogshead. The peasantry who have acquired property in this or other parishes are cultivating canes and manufacturing sugar ; and we aro cognisant of the sales of several parcels of stgar in this parish, of persons who are stigmatised in the columns of the British press, as being squatters, and removed but one shade front the brute creation. The Barque Trelawny, commanded by Captain Molieilage, will take h3r departure, shortly, from this port for Glasgow, in ballast, a circumstance which is much to be regretted, but when the difference in the price If sugar between the Home markets, and that which it now commands in this country, is considered, our readers cannot be surprised that parties would ra ther dispose of their produce in Jamaica, at a profit, than risk a loss by shipping the article." From Demerara the accounts are not quite so satis factory, tnd the young canes required more moisture. The rate of exchange at Haraburgh last Friday was steady at 13 4/. Money was in more demand. At Arniteruam, on the 16th inatant, not much was done in Datch bonds. The advines received from the Burra-Burra mine, in tons of ore nn hand at the commencement of June, and South Australia, are enc oura g in g. There were 4, 000 2,000 or 3,000 tons more were expected during July, August, and September. The English and Australian Copper Company's smelting works were in operation as usual.

Most of the country markets held on Saturday were fairly supplied with English wheat, yet the demand for all kinds ruled steady, at an advance of fully ls. per quarter. At the outports, fine foreign wheats were held for higher rates. Barley, especially malting parcels, changed hands fully at ls. per quarter more money. Malt, oats, beans, and flour were quite as dear ; but peas had a downward tendency. The latest advices from New York state that flour had advanced 10 cents per barrel. All grain was quite as dear. In the Continental markets, the trade has ruled steady, at full currencies, with fair average supplies on offer. Up to our market last week the arrivals of English grain were on the increase. From abroad, we received 48,695 quarters of wheat, 5,638 barley, 23,776 oats, 366 beans, 1,914 peas, 94 tares, 9,429 linseed, 713 rapeseed, 158 mustard seed, 478 sundry seeds, and 2,410 barrels of flour. Fresh up. to-day, the receipts of English wheat coastwise w e re very moderate. By land carria ge th e su ppl y was by no means large, but in much better condition than of late. On the whole, the show of samples —many of which were left over from Friday last—was good. Notwithstanding that the arrivals of foreigh wheat, last week, were extensive, and that numerous cargoes are being bonded in warehouse, holders of home-grown wheats were very firm in their de mands. The demand, however, was decidedly less active than last week, and a total clearance was not effected till a late hour. In the quotations we have not the slightest change to report. A few parcels of wheat sold for forward delivery, at late figures. We were somewhat largely supplied with foreign wheat, the general quality of which was far from fine. Good heavy qualities were taken to a moderate extent, at full quotations. Low and middling kinds sold heavily, but we have no alteration to notice in their value. Floating cargoes off Falmouth were quite as dear as last week—the demand on Irish account being steady. Although the supply of English barley was rather exten sive, and in good condition, that grain moved off freely at the extreme rates paid last week. Foreign parcels were very firm. There was an improved sale for malt, the prices of which were well supported. The aggregate show of oats being large, the oat trade was less active; nevertheless, late arrivals were s upported. Beans —The supply of which was on the increase, sold to a fair extent, at full prices. There was rather more inquiry for all kinds of peas. In the quotations, no chat ge took place. The flour trade was stetv'y, and prices well supported. CURRENCY PEE IMPERIAL MEASURE.

Although 212 Oxen and 257 Sheep were lost on passage from Tonningen, the imports of Foreign Stock into London, last week, were large, viz., 8,202 head. During the same period in 1851, they amounted to 6,941 ; in 1850, 7,800; iII 1849, 4,608 ; in 1848, 5,056 ; and in 1847, 3,471 head. EIIPORTS INTO LONDON 1N THE PAST WEER. From Beasts. Sheep. Lambs.

The arrivals of Beasts from our own grazing districts were un. , usually extensive, even the time of year considered, and We observed a slight improvement in their general condition, yet it was decidedly inferior for the season. The total number of Beasts in the market exceeded 6,000 head; hence, the de mand for all breeds was in a depressed state, at a decline in the quotations of 2d per Blbs, and several hundreds were turned out unsold. The top figure for the best Scots was 3s 8d per 81bs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire, we received 2,800 short horns; from other parts of England, 600 of various breeds; and from Scotland, 100 horned and polled Scots. The supply of Sheep being on the increase, the demand for that description of stock ruled heavy. In some few instances, the primest Old Downs realized last Monday's prices, viz., 4s 6d per 81bs, but all other breeds gave way 2d per 81bs. We had a very slow sale for Calves, the number of which was good, at Friday's decline in the quotations. The show of Pigs was tolerably extensive nevertheless, the Pork trade ruled steady, at late rates.
