Another letter, it will be perceived, has been written by Lord Joliet RUSSELL—but this time neither ill-considered nor intemperate. It consti tutes a document which in importance must take its stand, as an historical paper, with the celebrated ad dress in which the Noble Lord first announced his recognition and acceptance of the Free-trade princi ples. Nothing, indeed, could be more judicious than the strictly unimpassioned manner in which the ex- Premier has compiled an epitome of the more re markable achievements of his Administration —while presenting himself once more before the great metropolitan constituency as a can didate for their representation in the ensuing Parliament. Experience has manifestly operated well in maturirg a judgment formerly liable to be come obscured by prejudice or warped by infatuation, and in allaying a vivacity too often leading to mi nisterial haste and legislative precipitation. In offering himself once more to the electors of the city of London, Lord JOHN RUSSELL has wisely restricted himself to the record of what he has done during the existence of his Cabinet. Not a syllable, of course, about all that has been omitted! Not a word about sanitary improvements. Not a word about the ballot. Not a word about the more equal divisions of electoral dis tricts. Not a word about the property qualification. Not a word about further economy in the amount of the annual disbursements. Not one in allusion to the taxes upon knowledge—or in reference to the desired changes in criminal jurisprudence -3 r in regard to the necessity of comprehensive innovations in the form of Chancery procedure. Once, and once only the ex-Premier breaks silence upon a matter in which the last, like so many preceding Administrations, displayed nothing better than the most culpable apathy and the most shameless procrastination ! We allude, of course, to that passage in Lord JOHN Rus- SELL'S address to the electors of the city of London, in which the ex• Premier acknowledges the claims of the people in regard to National Education. " Vo luntary effort," he says, " has done much, but the means of instruction, even in reading and writing, are still unattainable by a great portion of the working classes." Yet—with this proclaimed again and again, to very nausea, during the last quarter of a century—how far did the Whigs endeavour, during their late possession of power under Lord Joule RUSSELL, any more than during their sufficiently protracted command of place under Lord GREY, and subsequently under Lord MELBMTRNE, to ameliorate the condition of the indus trial ranks of the :community, by rendering know ledge to them more accessible, more alluring, or, morally and socially speaking, more wholesome ? Why, it is notorious that throughout the last five or six years, when much benefit of this kind might have been accomplished, they have not wagged a finger in the cause, they have not even breathed a whisper as to the advisability of any such educational im provements. Indifferent upon the subject while in office however, they are, as usual, 1 oud in promises of activity immediately they find themselves thrust back upon the benches of op position. It is a circumstance strictly in keeping with the whole of the Whig policy, and therefore it is by no means surprising to find Lord JOHN RUSSELL in his electoral address now• a-days repeating the old cuckoo cry of reform—afterwards indefinitely post poned and conveniently forgotten. He observes in this somewhat delusive strain in reference to Educa tion—" I can only say I shall pay unremitting atten tion to a question which so deeply affects the future condition of the people." An assu rance, it must be admitted, sufficiently vague and unsatisfactory. So that while the " vo luntary principle," contemned as insufficient by our statesmen, is practically ameliorating, in this most important matter, the actual condition of the masses, the population must rest satisfied with these specious promises of an improvement that never arrives—an improvement forgotten in Downing-street and re membered only in Chesham-place! Surely, the holders of the red boxes and fingerers of the red tape must drink copious draughts of political Letbe when devouring whitebait in their Ministerial dinners at Blackwell. It must be an official beverage at least, one would imagine, with which Mr. LOVEGROVE is not altogether unacquainted. Upon one considera• tion the majority of the discerning must, at any rate, be decided as to this unfortunate project about Na tional Education. We may rest satisfied that LAN CASTER and BELL may successfully carry out novel and meritorious schemes of tuition, that WILDEESPIN may found infant schools throughout the United Kingdom, that NYSE may collect together in one masterly volume arguments the most irrefragable and statistics the most undeniable, that PINNOCK may com pile catechisms, that CHAPMAN and HALL may issue penny maps, that CHAMBERS may publish shilling editions of the classics, that CHARLES KNIGHT may supply instruction to the masses through his nume rous cheap periodicals, that CHARLES DICKENS may convey knowledge under the most alluring guise th rough his inestimable Household Words, that all this mayb € e rs a t ccomplished beyond even our most sanguin anticipations, so that every village is gradu ally obtainingragged its pedagogue and every rookery its school—but ect t e h d at in un t t h il e s o o r m g e ani e z x a t t r io ao n rd o i f na t r h y e change be House their o o f f Com mons effort s i cantself' no energetic encourage ment be reasonably expected ev en from the most liberal Cabinet, even from a Cabi net in which avo we d Reformers hold the principal reins of the government! For the vivid perception of dd this es s of trut h th indebt e d t o th e e l ec ti oneer i ng we le aaderredeparted of the the Unfortunat e leader in his reference to Education, Lord ,JOHN R u ssELL is singul ar l y h appy ar in his allusion to F Trade —the policy upon the maintenance of w hich be chiefly rests his c l a i ms l e to the continued support of the metropolitan cons tituency. Here it is, moreover , that the Noble Lord very gracefully re marks—" this struggle I have play e d a secondary,' „ but not unimpor tant part. lure • counting the benefits in the wa y of free trade already secured to the nation by the two preceding Cabinets, he re minds the metropolitan electors how far hi s own Go vernment followed up the policy so daringly and magnanimously adventured of Sir ROBERT PEEL. In this epitome of the achiev ments effected by himself and his illustrious pre decessor, Lord JOHN spoke of the gradual reductions from 1842 to 1845—reductions completed that year by the total repeal of the duties on corn, followed up under the Whigs, in 1846, by the repeal of the differential duties on sugar, and in 184 9 by the repeal.of the laws affecting navigation. Allusion is of course made ' likewise to the diminution of the light dues, to the r e-organization of the Merchant Seaman's Fund, and to the increased provision for foreign and colonial packets. As to a crowning testimony of the success of these memorable innovations, Lord JOHN RUSSELL then refers to the financial statement recently made by the present CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER — according to which statement it was observed that, during the ten years last past, Customs duties have been repealed or reduced to the extent of 9,000,0001.; that Excise duties have been repealed or reduced to the extent of 1,500,000/. ; that Stamp duties, in 1850, were reduced to the extent of 500,0001.: that by commuting the window duties for a house-tax relief had been afforded to the extent of 1,200,0001.: that whereas in 1842 the produce of the Customs, Excise, Stamps, and Taxes, was 48,000,0001., it was in 1851 only 46,600,0001, and that though the relief to the country has been fully 12,200,0001., the loss to the revenue has been only 1,400,0001.! It might, however, have been more generously added by Lord JOHN RUSSELL in the course of this remarkable calculation, that out of the reductions to the extent of 9,000,0001. made during the last ten years in the Customs' duties alone, the larger proportion had been effected not by himself, but by his lamented pre decessor. "In 1842," for example, he might have said, " nearly 1,500,0001. were in this manner struck from the revenue ; in 1843, 126,000/. ; in 1844, 279,0001.; in 1845, upwards of 3,500,0001.—whi1e the subsequent reductions were restricted to 1,150,000/., in 1846; to 343,0001., in 1847 ; to 578,0001., in 1848 ; to 384,0001., in 1849 ; to 331,0001., in 1850; and to 801,000/., in 1851—making the enormous aggregate of nearly 9,000,0001., as already intimated." It was not thus, however, that Lord JOHN RUSSELL offered a tribute of deserved homage to the memory of Sir ROBERT PEEL. His object is, to be sure, not precisely that of pronouncing a funereal pane gyric. He is ambitious of being returned once more , as Member for the city of London; and consequently the Noble Lord endeavoured to represent his free , trade achievements in the most favourable light in anticipation of the meeting of the electors announced to take place this day with a view to examine into the claims of the respec tive candidates. The ex-Premier has acted, there fore, in this matter, " wisely in his generation." It remains to be seen whether his former supporters are prepared to pass over all the sins of omission which have marked his Government rather prejudicially, and whether they are willing to accept the somewhat stunted and scanty reforms of the last five years as affording sufficient surety of the good intentions of the now Leader of the Opposition. It is really amusing to observe the difference o the Whigs in office from the Whigs in opposition Pinup drunk and Pinup sober, was nothing to it The fact had been notorious, it must be admitted,long before the resignation of the late Government. But, not withstanding our familiarity with the extraordinary nature of the contrast presented by the Whigs when installed in Downing-street, and when on the benches confronting the seats of the Treasury—we were (let us candidly confess it at once) altogether unprepared for the glaring and absolutely astounding transformations which have taken place in the members of the ex -Ministry, and their supporters, since the morning of the well remembered resignation. It is not forgotten, of course, that shortly after the accession of the Earl of DERBY and his political adherents to power, LordJoHN RUSSELL—that very Lord Joins RUSSELL who had at one period of his life been identified with the principle of finality, that very Lord JoHN RUSSELL, who when still Prime Minister of England had dis gusted all sincere and earnest Reformers by his narrow and wholly inadequate project for the re-organization of the Lower House of Parliament—surpassed the hopes even of the veteran Member for Montrose by that speech de livered at his private residence, in the course of which he virtually accepted one or two out of the well known points of the People's Charter. The in creased enlightenment in regard to Reform which has fallen upon the mind of the ex-Premier since he was reluctantly com pelled to walk across the floor of the House, and take up his position on the front bench of the Oppo sition, has happily since then been extended to one or two among the personages connected with his Government. Viscount EBRINGTON is about the most recent illustration of the fact, that Noble Lord having on Friday evening revealed a marvellous change for the better in his disposition as an advocate for sanitary improvement. Upon the London Ne cropolis and National Mausoleum Bill being brought forward for the purpose of being read a third time and passed (a ccurse actually taken at the close of the discussion), the Noble Viscount the representative of Plymouth rose, pursuant to notice, in order to urge upon the consideration of the House the advisability of an amendment. He complained that the principle of compensation to the clergy was recognised in the measure then submitted to the Legislature, and in sisted that it should be formally renounced by the Parliament. Everyone remembers how the late Cabinet behaved in reference to the previous enact ment about extramural interment. Everyone re members that the Bill—which, under the sanction of the Whigs, passed into a law—empowered the clergy to levy a sort of ghoul-like impost upon every corpse con veyed to the suburban cemeteries for interment. From the first we insisted upon the odium certain to result from these and other concessions to the eccle siastics. We protested against the principle before it was formally assented toby the Houses of Parliament. We protested against it while it was passing through the various stages in the Lords and Commons, and subsequently still more loudly and energetically when the project had resolved itself into a sub- stantial enactment. Yet—now—as if Lord EBRINGTON had suddenly made some won dneorfuklindandof astounding d i i rt sco th ve is ry, ma a tt n e a r de%- s olve i d f upon the preceding Administration, he comes for ward deliberately to protest against the principle of affording the clergy compensation. Inasmuch as he recognizes the folly of this principle at the present moment—we rejoice. It is grievou s l y to be lamented, however, that a similar course was not pursued during the existence of the last Govern ment ! In addition to this, moreover, on Fri day evening, Lord EBRINGTON referred in highly and deservedly complimentary terms to " Mr. GEORGE ALFRED WALKER, the able and meritorious pioneer in exposing the abuses of intramural interments." Why, surely this is that same Mr. WALKER whose very existence seemed to be ignored during the whole time Lord EBRING TON was associated with the late Government. But then the Whigs were in office—and now they are in opposition ! Driven from power, they suddenly open their eyes to the recognition of a fact with which the rest of the country have been more or less familiar for the last twelve or thirteen years—the fact that to Mr. WALKER'S untiring and humane exer tions the country is indebted for the revelation of those horrid statistics, the publication of which may be said to have first set on foot the whole of the great sanitary movement. Yet only on Friday evening last did Lord EBRINGTON appreciate the labours of that eminent public benefactor—and then only, because the Whigs were in opposition I It were well, we conceive, for the lovers of reform throughout the United Kingdom to mark vigilantly the acknowledgments, the con cessions, and the assurances made by the principal members of the Whig party during the period of their continuance of this same wonderful opposition. Like Captain CUTTLE, we would " make a note of " their avowals " when found"—so as to demand the redemption of their various promises whenever their good fortune carries them back to the perilous and responsible heights of Government.

We have received the Paris journals of Saturday and yesterday The PRINCE PRESIDENT presided on Saturday over the meeting of the Ccuncil of State. The subject under consideration was the Education Bill. The Pays reminds its readers that the EMPEROR used to take great pleasure in presiding over the meetings of the Council of State, his presence tending to excite the ardour of debate, without interfering with the independence of members. A note appears in the Moniteur reminding all gmeral officers and other officers, at home or abroad, that the oath of fidelity must be forwarded under their hand by the Ist of June. A second note gives information to persons desirous of presenting petitions to the PRINCE PRESIDENT, that in consequence of accidents which have occurred he will not receive them during his rides. Such p titions must be left at the palace, and will be specially considered. The Courrier of the Gers of the 18th says—" We are informed that all the members of the council general of this department, connected in past times with the Legitimist party, have hken the oath." M. LEGRASD, ex-collector of taxe! , , who hr-I been transported to Africa, has been pardoned by the PRE SIDENT of the Republic, and has retulaed to Bar-sur- Aube. The punishment of transpoOation to which M. CLAUDIUS BRUN had been tentencel, and that of five years' imprisonment to which ISIDORE GENT, the brother of the person of that name who was E9llt out to Nouka Hiva was subjected, having been com muted into banishment, these persons were last week removed from Belleisle, to be taken to Havre, where they are to ba embarked for England." We read in a Paris letter, in the Independance of Brussels—" The reception of the PRESIDENT at the Elysea, on Tuesday evening, was not very numerous. The only curious incident which it presented was the presence of M. GRANIER DE CASSAGNAC. The PRESIDENT, it is said, conversed with him a long time. Surrounded immediately after by groups of general officers and senators, the writer of the Constituaonnel related that he hid received in the course of the day several challenges, without counting anonymous letters, for his article on Generals CHANGARNIER and LAMORICIERE ; and he said that he had replied to the challengers that he could not 13 at the disposition of all those who might please to call him out. In one of his replies, M. DE CASSAGNAC is stated to have said that But DE LAMORICIERE and M. CHANGARNIER should settle their affairs themselves. This, however, can only take place in the event of M. DE CASSAGNAC making a journey to Belgium, or of a decree of the PRESIDENT of the Republic recalling the generals. The decree is more than improbable; rod as to the journey of M.

DE CASSAGNAC, but at the same time declered himself a warm partisan of the PRESIDENT." The distribution of the Independance of Brussels was stopped at the Post-office on Thursday, by order of the Ministn. of General Police. The reason (says the Independance) wr , that some detoqs were given of the sitting of the Leg'slative Be dy on the 18th, al though the official minu' s of that sit:;ng had not, in consequence of the rijournment of the Chamber, been communicated to the newspar 313. The marriage c: M. PERSIGNY with Mille. DE LA MOSKOWA has been postponed for s;x weeks, in con sequence of the death of the brother of the latter. The Constitutionncl, in a notice of the debates in the English House of Commons on the Militia Bill, in dulges in some satirical remarks on what it pleases to call the folly of John Bull. In closing its article, it says : " Will John Bull be flDgged or not? That is the question which now (.7cupies the attention of the En glish Parliamen*. It may be reelily supposed that public attention is on the qui vice rod every hea-t roused. We hold that John Boit ought #) be floggc 1 . He flogs his troops and a spirit of , irrlity demands that he should be subjected to similar treat-nen'. This, however, is hi s own fault, for be h a d only #-) tcma , n cptlet rid attend to his business; it hes pleased to insult his neighbours, to call for arms, and t-) play at soldier- Since the oat o'-nine tails and the musket go t-7,,ether with him, he who takes the one must receive the other."

Our accounts from Mdrid are of the 18th. The Minister of the Marine had not been named. General ConnovA had resigned the office of Director General of Cavelry, and wes succeeded by General PAVIA. • A Madrid letter dated the 17th says—" The Mi nisters have completely given up a ll id ea f or th e pre sent of carrying out their so much talked of coup etat, having b:come alarmed at what might be the results of such a step. This p"occ?ding will so weaken them, that at no very distant petici the fall of the whole Cabinet may in expected.. Messrs. Moir and PIDAL pre spoken of 89 likely to repll'ae them."

There will be a decrerse of 2,600,000 florins in the budget for the army. It is hoped that the loan will produce 35,000,000 florins. The conflict which has for some time existed ba tween the Government of Baden and the Catholic Archbishop of Friburg, in Brisgau, has terminated. The Archbishop has issued a p istoral lettsr, directing a solemn service to be celebrated in all the churches, to thank Heaven for the blessings showered on the coun try under the preceding Sovereign, and to implore a continuation of them under the new Prince. -------- wag a grand review of the troops Berlin by the King of PRUSSIA and of the 0t the in the r garrison r 0 9 r t of h , a there tR us s T he KING wore the uni form of a Prussian general, and the EMPEROR that of the Colonel of the 6th regiment of Prussian Cuiras siers, which bears his name. There was an immense crowd, end when the troops filed off to the music of the national hymn of Russir, there were loud and uni versal cheers. There is a long article in the Paris _Wats on the commercial differences between Austr:a. end Prussia. The writer examines every part of the question, and comes to the following conclusion : We wish for a good ECcor i t3tween Austria and Prussia; we desire the peen of Germany. When France is paci f ic, when she wants merely her frontiers and her political independence, the most certain sign of that dispositi on i s to desire to ass Germany unitad and not divided, We e therefore desire the union of Germany, and consequently we read with a sincere satisfaction some time back, in the Augsburg Gazette, that the im portance of the difference now e xisting t3twcen Prussia and Austria ought not to b thought too much of.' This difference is like all those which have taken plane for the lest three years between the two powers. There are many reciprccal attacks in the journals, but in the end they will come to an understanding. Vienna and Berlin will at Int finish by concerting together for a treaty of commerce which will pretty well satisfy both parties; there will be, before craving at that denouement, many a warlike demonstration, but the force of things will cause that all this alarm of war will also have its 011mutz," ITALY. Le Risorgimento of Turin of the 20th states as the current reports relative to the ministerial crisis, that the Chevalier CIBRARRO will be the Finance Minister, the Marquis SPINOLA. having declined the post. M. Bmio has refused the Ministry of Public Instruction, and M. Gzurdo wra talked of es likely to accept it. It appars, therefore, that the ministerial crisis is not yet overcome.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were estimated at 8,000 bales, of which 3,000 American were taken for export and on speculation. The market was tame but closed firmly at previous rates. The sales comprised 6,000 American; 300 Pernam and Maranham, at 61d. to 70.; 600 Egyptian, at 6d. to 84i.; and 800 Surat, at 3id. to 44ci, per lb. —Railway Shares were rather firmer. _ _ The railway meetings announced are the following:_ Belgian Eastmn Junction, May 28—Bt ussels, at one. Caledonian, June 9—London Tavern, at one. Edinburgh and Glasgow, June 9—Glasgow, at one. Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee, Juno 2—Edinburgh.

Waterford and Kilkenny, May 28—London Tavern, at two. West Flanders, May 26—Bruges, at twelve. The following note, dated the 20th instant, has been received from the secretary of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railways:— "In reply to your inquiry of this date, I have to in form you that tF signature of the allottee will not be re quired on deity- .y of scrip in exchange for the banker's receipts for the deposit as a generel rule, although I may exercise a discretion of requiring it in any cases where from circumstances I may think it prudent to do so, should any such case occur." The advices from the W es t I n di es are no t ver y en couraging, the small-pox still prevailing in Jamaica, and the crops being deficien`, A communication from that island remarks:— " We have to state, with great concern, that the pre sent crop in most of the propenties in this pariah will fall far, very far short of the estimates formed at its commehcemen+ A variety of circumstances have oc curred to operate this serious falling off ; sickness, small-pox, drought, and last, though not least, the in crease of rats on some if not on all properties, especially where water courses run through them. Some have fallen short one-third, and some, with the low state of the markets, will barely pay their expenses. The people of the West India colonies have really had much to encounter within the last three years—in fact as much as the people of Ireland had, during their seve ral potato crop failures, which brought their concomi tants, famine and death. Disease and death we have had in abundance, and gaunt famine is not unlikely to follow. If a remission of the duties—a total remission, to keep us from being swamped by slave-grown sugar— be not determined upon, famine, or something like it, must be looked for, without the prospect or means of preparation." The Trelatany mentions that the crop generally will fall considerably short in Hanover. Some of the estates will finish taking off their present year's crop next week. The Falmouth Post mentions that in the' agricultural districts of the parish the estates generally have suffered a great deal from the long drought which hes been experienced, and from the want of labour, in con sequence of the prevailing epidemic. On many pro perties which depend on wae'r-power for the taking in of the crop, the canes have actually rotted after being cut , the " dryness of the river, as the peasantry say, having prevented the process of ma nufacture from going on. We under stand (continues the Post) that there has been a serious loss of horned stock, and that the result of these calam i ties will be the exportation of a still more limit?d quantity of auger and rum than was originally anticipe-A. In the parish of Westmoreland the weather has been awfully hot, and on the 17th inst int there was such a tremendous sea breeze that the tswn was almost poi• coned with dust.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY•) -- CORN EXCHANGE.—(IVIONDAV Most of the country markets held on Saturday wer e but moderately supplied with home-grown Wheats, for which the demand ruled steady, and in some instances the quotations were a shade higher. Foreign Wheat s and fine malting Barley were quite as dear; but l ow parcels commanded very little attention. Most other kinds of spring Corn, owing to the great improvement in the general appearance of the growing crops, were dull in sale, but not lower. Flour was tolerably steady Oar aivices from the continental shipping ports ar e mostly to the effect that a very limited busines b! i s la.' , ly been transalted in grain for shipment to Englii,"l At New York, on the Bth insta n t, severa l parcels " Flour had changed hands for export. The arrivals of English grain up to our market e e ! week were but moderate. F rom a b roa d we receiv e ' 11,343 quarters of Wheat, 850 Barley, 52,775 oats. 484 Beans, 311 Linseed, 1,502 Rapeseed, 250 sacks 813d1 2,700 barrels of Flour. Fresh up to-day the rec e ipt s o f Wh e at from BIZ: Kent, and Suffolk, coas t w i se , were b u t mo d e rate. 4 . general quality and condition of samples were, howev er, good. From the midland comities the arrivals were of a somewhat more limited scale; hence the total show home-grown Wheat was comparatively small. Notwith standing that the attendance of both town and coral millers was far from extensive, and that very favour a ble accounts came to hand on the subject of the general 5r pearance of the growing crops, the demand was steanio and a clearance was effected at prices quite equal to theel of Monday last. Most of the dealers continue to bel" very light stocks. For forward delivery we had a slow inquiry, and the amount of business doing was limited to small parcels t be forweided this and next week. Moat of the late imports of aintzic Wheats be l l gone direct into the hands of the millers, the show e. fine qualities this morning was small. The trade wti: firm, and in some instances a trifle more money we paid. Low and middling kinds sold slowly, nevertbr less paces were well supported. h e ld Floating cargoes of W L os t a nd I n di an Corn were h eld at full currencies, but w e h a d no i nqu i ry f or Pa rcels warehouse on foreign account, ld Grinding Barley, the supply of which was limited9 Bo . o readily at full quotations. Grinding and distilling ee '' were rather dud, but not lower. In Kilt very few transactions took place. Prices r e. mained as last advised. Although the imports of foreign Oats have considerf ably increased, the Oat trade was firm, from most e st the buyers having very light stocks on hand, es le week's figures. There was rather more doing in Beans, and the V °. tationa were considered a shade higher. Peas of all kinds moved off steadily, at full prices. The demand for both English and foreign Flour wr o steady, at fully previous rates. A large portion f I late imports from the United States has passed into consumption.
