Velstminster-bridge i 3 doomed for yet another twelmonth to disfigure the Thames, and to contrast wlth x ibl . ditipidated uglin ess th e arc hit ec t ura l b eau t y of- tit; new Houses of Parliament. The anticipated ail/cuss:on of last evening ended in nothing more definite than the announcement of a yet longer pro crastination. This is deeply to be regretted, Boeing that, no less than air years ago, the old bridge was &eared to be dangerous, by a Committee ap pointe-d to inquire into the supposed necessity for its removal. TWO sessions afterwards the same opinion was pronounced by another 'nPon a vet more careful inve.;tigation. In 1851, moreover, an elahorste report pointing out the exi gelic.7 of slt ne improvement in this direction, was formally MfortaittPd to the Lords Commissioners of her MAJEsTy's• Treasury for their consideration.

After relieving the country of the old Whig Cabinet, the new advisers of the SOVEREIGN might not inappropriately relieve the Thames of old Westminster-bridge—erecting in the place of the latter a more symmetrical structure, as they had con structed in lieu of the former a more definite and comprehensible Government. But no—on the Ist of April, appropriately enough—it was simultaneosly announced that the consent of Lord J. Mammas was withheld from any measure such as the one suggested by the Member for the University of Oxford, and the ballads of Lord JOHN MArotsas were announced to be again on sale at the RIVINGTONV. The archi tectural improvements of the metropolis would seem to have been added to that " wealth and commerce," to those "laws" and to that "learning," which the laureate of Young England wished to behold sacri ficed to the Moloch of " nobilitie." It matters nothing that the "silent highway," the principal path for the traffic of the wealthiest capital in Europe, should still be disfigured by the most dis graced structure in the shape of a bridge that could well be imagined ; it matters not that that structure was declared to be in a dangerous state six years ago, and that the demand for its destruction was two ses sions afterwards pronounced to be imperative—the carrying out of the suggestions made by the last Westminster-bridge Commission involved the neces sity of a somewhat inconvenient exertion to some of the members of the new Cabinet, and therefore this postponement! All that could last evening be extorted from the Chief Commissioner of Woods and Forests was the production of a note relating to the subject under discussion! Lord JOHN MANNERS consented to lay upon the table of the House of Commons the letter referring to the stability of the present bridge, written by—a gentle man whose name must be regarded as peculiarly un lucky under the circumstances—WALLEß. Although it were superfluous and little less than a waste of time, under the peculiarity of the case, at present to enter into any detailed examination of the arguments contained in the report of the Westminster bridge Commission of 1851, it may still be observed, as bearing somewhat forcibly at this moment upon the question here under consideration, that the document referred - to cloies with the seven subjoined resOlu dons, and those resolutions, moreover, let it be re membered, agreed to unanimously : " 1. That the present bridge should be used as a temporary bridge until a new bridge shall have been constructed. " 2. That a new bridge should be constructed ad joining, or as near as possible, to the present bridge on the north side, that is, lower down the river. 3. That the new bridge should not be less than 60 feet in width, including the footways. " 4. Tnat it be constructed of iron, with stone piers. 5. That it consist of no more than five arches. " 6. That the height of headway of the centre arch above Trinity datum be not less than 25ft. 6in. " 7. That it is desirable th at no t i me should be lost in making'preparation for the commencement of the work." Whether the new structure (that, we must still hope, is "to be") sh ou ld b e built upon the model of the bridge at Southwark, or whether, instead of being east-iron, it should be granite, built in a manner likely to harmonize with the elaborated gothic pile of the new Houses of Parliament, is a question which admits rather largely, of course, of argu ment, and might not unreasonably be reserved for a little further consideration. But whether active measures should or should not be adopted, with a view to remove the existing bridge and to substitute a new one in a contiguous situation, can scarcely admit any doubt whatever, after that final resolution of the Commissioners, to the ef fect " that it is desirable no time should be lost in makileg preparation for the com mencement of the work"—the work of removal and reconstruction. In defiance of which resolution the matter has again been referred to another session by the Commissioners of Works, speaking in the name of no Government. When is this deplorable system of procrastination to terminate? When is the country to be haunted no longer by that word of " damning iteration"—postponement, postponement, postponement ? There is, after all, to be no further inquiry into the case of Harwich. The House of Commons last night, after a prolonged discussion, decided against the proposed investigation, and ignored the bill of in dictment that had been preferred against that rather notorious constituency. Hear this, ye BLAIGS and EDWARDSES, and rejoice !—uplift your voices in exul tation, your honourable occupation is not altogether gone ! It is true that ye may no longer have the op portunity of exercising your skill and ingenuity in the scene of your former labours ; but there are many St. Albanses in the field, and many zealous labourers in the cause in which ye have already signalised yourselves, and whose future doings may cast your f runulanz exploits into the shade. What encouragement will the majority of 42 afford to these exemplary gentlemen in their laudable vocations! The golden key, or some equally significant token may again be hung out. The House of Commons has extended the shield of its protection over a constituency where not only the electioneer ing proceedings have been most loudly and generally complained of, but where the existence of habitual bribery and corruption has rested on something more than mere suspicion. It was a decision worthy of tw)se who rejected the ballot, who refused to protect the voter against intimidation, or to place him in a position where the sale of his vote would be ail but impracticable. It would almost seem as if the Right lion. and Hon. (i'r, , ntlemen conceived that these practices formed an essential part of the British Con stitution, and that whenever they were completely abolished the sun of England's glory would be set for ever. di v i 3 i.,u of last night, combiaM with that of Tuesday evening on Mr. HENRY BERKELEfat mot i on , will unquestionably exercise consider able influence on the approaching elections. It will prove that an occesionel scape goa t i s all that i s p-quire - d—that if a. St. Albans should be convicted, a After all, the position o f would be suffered to escape with comparative i borough is of rathe r the house towards the inculpated lan anom a l ous character . It refuses to issue th e Harwrnicpn'unity. writ for a new election in p l a ce of that which h a d been declared null and void. It thus assumes the exis tence of at l east a certain deeTee ofguilt, but refuses t o institute any searching inquiry into that guilt, with a view either to have it clearly established, and pro per measures founded thereon, or to have the character of the electors exonerated from so serious a charge. It goes ev en f urther than inexorable RHADA MANTHI:S. Ile fi rst punished and then heard the complaint; but the popular branch of the Imperial Legislature puni s h es w h ile it refuses a hearing. IVe can scarcely wond er at the step taken by the Hon' Gentleman the M em b er f or Finsbury, who, although a strenuous advocat e f or i nquiry, yet gave notice, when that inquiry was rejected, that he would move that the SPEAKIIIR should forthwith issue his warrant for the election of a burgess for the borough of Har wich. We doubt not that the lion. Gentlemen will obtain a majority, and that those who have delibe rately refused inquiry will assist in carrying W h at can only be considered as an act of amnesty for all past offences of the electors and representatives of the borough of Harwich. "What is a pound ?" W3B a questio n t r i umphantly asked by the late Sir ROBERT PEEL, and repeated, vsyne ad nauseant, by his followers, the plutocrats and bullioniets. The Right Honourable Baronet d?iined the meaning of the term to be "neither more nor less than a definite quantity of gold, with a mark upon it to determine its weight and tineness." Interested parties, those who were living in idleness upon the fat of the land, and preying upon the bowels of industry, accepted the interpretation with joy, and considered the party by whom it was put forward as " a DANIEL come to Judgment." It WEN at that period the interest of the drones in the national hive, to insist on the letter while disre garciing the spirit of their contracts. They seemed to forget, or rather to misapply, the principle enun ciated by Jogs LocKE, that "Men in their bargains contract not for denominations or sounds, but for th e intrinsic value." If this doctrine had been observ e d it would follow, 53 a matter of course, that whe n gold becomes unduly appreciated, so that the 5 dwts. a gr4 ) .wkcl; were v . r44 . ;,)" pv..gl4 clAibLe LONDON, " the purchasing power" previously belonging thereto, the quantity of bullion should be reduced, so as to make the debtor liable for the same intrinsic value only in discharge of his obligation that, the same nominal amount possessed at the time when it was contracted. This view, however, was earnestly protested against at the time by the bullionists. Gold was scarce and could not be then provided in sufficient quantities to meet the wants and exigencies of our rapidly in creasing population and commerce. The value of the pound, convertible on demand into 123 grains of ster ling gold, was much more than that of the inconvertible bank-note, to which seven or eight shillings should be added in order to obtain a gold coin purporting to be of the same value. Those, then, who advanced paper re quired to be paid in gold, and insisted that their de mands could only be satisfied by the delivery for each pound of 5 dwta. and 3 grs. of gold, and nothing more or less. It was by such arguments that the chains of the debtors were double rivetted, and the quantity of labour necessary to satisfy the public taxes or pri vate claims materially increased. In vain did mo notary reformers protest against the Act of 1819, and the supplemental measure of 1844, which appeared es sential to the due carrying out of the principle. Their remonstrances were received either with care less apathy or gross contumely. The later measure, which not only continued the necessity of paying in gold debts contracted in paper, but created an artificial scarcity of the precious metal by requiring that a large amount should be locked up in the coffers of the Bank, lying idle and unproductive, when its active circulation would be productive of the most beneficial results, was lauded as the per fection of human wisdom. In vain did the commer cial crisis of 1847 arise. It was ascribed to every cause but the true. We heard of overtrading, of commercial imprudence, and mercantile delinquencies. In vain was the well-considered report of the Select Committee of the House of Lords —it was totally disregarded. In vain was the powerful and convincing testimony of the many unim peachable witnesses whose evidence was taken before the carefully .'elected Committee of the House of Commons—the obnoxious law was maintained 3 in all its stringency, and no modification or alteration would he heard of. The moneyocracy should still keep their holds on the necks of the industrious classes, cramping their exertions and paralysing their energies. But PROVIDENCE vouchsafed the relief to the suf fering people which man refused. The almost mi raculous discoveries of gold in California and Australia were brought to light. Individual miners, working without suitable tools or combined efforts, obtained almost fabulous wealth, which found its way not only to this country, where there has been, in consequence, an increase of at least 20 per cent. to the circulating medium, but also to almost every other nation in the world. Formerly, when gold was abundant in England, it was scarce in America, and vice verse. Different nations were trying to obtain sufficient for their own wants, utterly careless as to the effects on other countries. They were scrambling with one another, like the children described by LOCKE as " pulling at the scanty coverlet." But now there is enough for all. It does not follow that because there is high-water in Threadneedle-street, there must be a deficiency in Wall-street, or that London is sup plied at the expense of Paris. Everything, too, pro mises a steady increase, and we shall be much disappointed if even the calumniated and well abused gold companies do not produce results that will astonish even the most sanguine shareholders. The question, then, what will be the effect of the gold discoveries in California and Australia, and the increased activity in New Granada and other auriferous districts ? must be considered, and that speedily. It is more than probable that the propo sition for national notes and taxation paper would not now be so contumeliously rejected as of yore that " worthless rags" might be more favour ably received by butchers and bakers than in the olden time. On this point we would invite attention to a com munication which will be found in another part of this day's impression, in which the question is very ably argued. We must, however, declare that the interests of the debtors must be attended to in any change that may take place, and that as no allowanc e was made to the tax-payers during the monetary crisis, none can now be claimed by tax consumers in consequence of the superabundance of bullion. The matter is one of deep and vital importance to the welfare and prosperity of the country, and it should receive that calm and attentive consideration which it so eminently merits, so that an equitable conclusion may be arrived at, in which the interests of the indus trious clesses will not be disregarded, but an equal measure of justice rendered to all without exception A characteristic letter, addressed to ourselves by " A Flag °nicer," will be found in another column : and its insertion affords us pleasure, yielding evidence as it does that the profession regards with satisfac tion the recent appointment to the head of the Ad miralty of his Grace the Duke of NORTHIIIIIIER. LAND. The remarks made by our esteemed corres pondent upon the folly of subjecting the maritime service to the management of a civilian are deserving, we conceive, of very serious consideration 1 and, happily, we are sanguine that the nations; experiences of late will to a very considerable extent deter any future prime Minister from appointing as First Lord of the Admiralty any administrator who has not qualified himself for the post by his personal services on those waves which, according to the national verses of the poet of the " Seasons," are ruled by Britannia. ALABAMA! (From Eliza Cook's Journal) [There is' a tradition that a tribe of Indians, fleeing from an enemy through the forests of the south-west, - reached a noble river, flowing through a beautiful couhtry, when the chieftain of the band struck his tent-pole into the ground, excl " Alabama !

The quantity of produce brought forward at the public sales this week has been very moderate, and there is no essential alteration in the prices of th< leading staples. The imports are inerasing a little, but the wind has not yet changed sufficiently to bring in many vessels. The con supintion progresses steadily as regards Sugar, Coffee, and most other articles. Upon the state of the Piece-goods Market daring the past month Messrs. MiNair, Greenhuw, and Irving, write from Manchester as follows :---" Though the bustling 'activity 'which in byegone years used proverbially to characterise the month of March would appear to have passed away from the now much more frequent and rapid intercourse established be tween every district of the Uuited Kingdom and with almost every portion of the world, it is gratifying to perceive that, though prosecuted in a much less active manner, outwardly its operations in the present year have again been of an ex tensive character. During the first fourteen days of the month the position of matters, as indicated in our last monthly circular, experienced further improvement as re garded demand, accompanied not only with greater firmness in prices, but likewise with a further advance upon certain descriptions of cloth and yarn. Since then, from the droop ing tendency of the Liverpool Cotton Market, as consequent upon a secession of the then recent heavy operations in it, and in an apprehended early and heavy supply of the raw material, this market, as usual, has manifested its unvarying sympathy, and induced a material suspension of operations, except for pressing wants, together with a general and de clining tendency in prices." The Bill brought in to enable her Majesty to abolish otherwise than by treaty, on condition of reciprocity, differen tial duties on foreign ships, provides that " where it shall appear to her Majesty that by the laws or regulations of any foreign power the trade and shipping of Great Britain in the ports of such foreign power have been placed upon the same footing as the trade and shipping of such foreign power, it shall be lawful for her Majesty, by order to be by her made with the advice of her Privy Council, and to be published in the London Gazette, to order and declare that the trade and shipping of such foreign power shall have the benefit of the provisions of this Act; and there upon all the provisions, clauses, matters, and things in the said first-recited Act contained shall, so long as such Order in Council shall remain in force, but ne longer, apply and extend to the trade and shipping of such foreign power, as fully and effectually, to all intents and purposes, as they apply to the trade and shipping of the said United States and Portugal, or would apply to such trade and shipping if the convention and treaty intended to be carried into effect by the said first -recited Act were in force, and shall also apply and extend to differential duties or charges on goods imported or exported in the ships or vessels of such foreign power as well as to differential duties on the ships or vessels of such foreign power." Official returns of the position of the Savings Banks, between November 20, 1849, and August 8, 1851, snow rather interesting results. It would appear that from January to July, 1850 , the sums withdrawn were very large, whereas in the first three months of 1851 the deposits exceeded the repayments. Taking the whole period from November, 1849, to August, 1851, the amounts were as follow : Excess paid in by Savings Banks beyond the sums drawn out ........ ............. Excessdra wn out, including interest on sums drawn out ...... . ...... ...... . ...... 914,263 Dividends received by the i s on Stock invested ...... ....... 1,457,323 The Stock Market is quiet, but firm, this morning.

Money is easier in the market, and this will give encourage ment to speculation, if politics d o not intervene. South Sea Stock is at 1091/s. and Bank Stock for Account brings 221. Attention in the Foreign Market is almost exclusively directed to Mexican Bends, which are full 1 per cent. higher than yesterday, being 34 % for the old stock, and 27% to 28 1 / 2 for the new converted, ex dividend. Besides the information, the large amount of the next remittance, Meese?. Baring Brothers are now in a position to advance part of the indemnity money to those who do not prefer waiting. Many have entire confidence and sufficient means to hold on and save the interest asked, viz a e rate of five per cent. per annum. Propoials to feral the i rs enue, so as to cover the dividend and give a surplus have been made by some leading Mexican firms.

It declares the Constitution of 1834, as well as the modifications afterwards introduced into it, and the electoral law of 1849, to be abo lished, as inc Inpatible with the Federal laws. The Govern ment of Electoral Hesse is requested to immediately promul gate a new C ons ti tut i on, as well as a new electoral law and regulations.' It is said that some third rate states only attempted to oppose this resolution." A letter from Coblents, of the 23d, states that great preparations were already being mad© at Ems for the Empress of RUSSIA ; Who was expected there towards the end of 'May, to drink the waters. It Witti said that the King of PRUSSIA. was to pass some weeks there. The Second Chamber of Prussia, in the sitting of the 25th ult., voted the budget for 1832, which estimates the receipts at 97,000,021 thalers, and the expenses, ordi nary -4 and extraordii . -- arY, at 99 434 734 thalers.

Stu,—As one of -- TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. your numerous staunch advocat es , please to allow me, an old officer, to make my appear ance on your quarter-deck, to summons the whol e crew of her M a j esty ' s Royal for our nav a l Fi rst Lord and for the comprised honour of Navy to give three hearty c h eers Old F.agland inchthe 13ritich navy, since whaiever other consequence* may result from the late political gale--and I fear that with respect to questions of the first import stree:7" shell mill be left &win the rear of the rsquire ments of t he age, — nevertheless we may hail with rejoicing the change in the atmosphere of the Admiralty, a most re quired yet almost hopeless event. And truly what an arbitrary and gross insult to the navy has been the playing of a landsman in first authority at the Admiralty ; what a batletaced monopoly of all the patronage, for the purporn of making it subservient to party interests—the First Lord and the patronage changing with every change of Ministry ; the patronage of the navy system itselt made a scramble for party strife. Also, this placing of a civilian in supreme authority at the Ad miralty is little better than placing a mere landsman at the helm of a ship, rettuiring a pilot to he standing at his eloow to diret every movement, now to this side, now to the other. What a ridiculous farce! For myself and for the navy, I deeply resent this forced lowering of our topsails to an empty stranger, and therefore gladly hail the Derby deed; and it is with excited feelings of regret that I find some naval officers advocates of the existing system, alleging the objection that an admiral has so many followers; but surely not a tithe part so many as the never-ending obligations of au individual, placed in power purposely to serve an overruling state party, for should the claimant not happen to be on the right side, what chance has he? Witness the many deserving officers whose heads have been stepped over by junior. of half their standing. Moreover patrona ge , gr e at in consequence as I view it, is yet by no means the main point; country stands prominently first, absolutely re• quiring a long experienced and distinguished profes eional character, comp e t ent to a right di rect i on o f our important naval pow e r i n a ll i ts b earings. To imagine a g ag offi ce r t o b e l ees scrupulous than a civilian to the general and right direction of the natal patronage, is to suppose there are admi ra l s i n the service who have no a man argue to ue be fur found? placing To ro them selves proper regard for the h onour sod consequence of the apprehension nav). und ßu e t r a lat where r is such those officers w dsman are those who do not show a proper regard for the honour and welfare of their pro fession, and I would suggest precaution lest they un wittingly strand their own cable. The paten t abuse to which I point, may be considered as being marked by the appointment of an army officer to pre side at the Admiralty, a distinct service. But mortify ing as this may have been felt, it is quite obvious that one of our brethren in arms is meet, --se more competent to the situation than a mere landsman, noble though he may be, but who probably singularly may never have been christ ened with the spray of salt water, a n d never saw a cannon fi i red bra edin in anger, and wh o very possibly may not have marne g enough to steer a boat across the river Thames, without such incessant and unscientific tos and Pros of the rudd er , as would figure out such a presumptuous Wight the laughing stock of th e multitudes assembled on each vermicular wake as would ma k e the g bank to witness the amusing c a'aY• Fancy, too, a mere landsman perambulating our dockyards to survey the building of our ships, an d to i nspect the quality and - - -Y, were it not that he moves screened by an assemblage of naval insignia quantity of our naval stores; vih the dockyard mates would absolutely laugh him to scorn. To such indignity as I have been, Co ns id er i n g the army 1 " wculd not eubmit,fer a d ay; honour would immediately cull up an angry risin g t h roughout the entire camp, and I do greatly admire thi s esprit du corps, though It con stitutes a contrast v e ry disedvantegsous to the existing crushed spirit of the navy %. aill our c on dition too much resembles that of th e v i ct i m under the law, who by long endured and hopeless misery becomes at length but little sensible of the weight and disgrace of his chains. It would be highly diverting to see h ow our bray © and justly honoured Duke mould eye a civilian strutting about and assuming all authority at t h e Ilorse Guards; I opine he would be forthwith marc h ed , out at double quit time, the movement, too, pro bably r - accelerated ono directed stimulus, "Just in the place whe n © h As wise philos o ph ers have judg'd?' I feel assured ther e i s not an admiral in the service. who eu r,siodbg y , well s : . would consent to place him se lf in u s i tua tion at once so invidious and insulting as that w hi c h I hav e remar k e d upon. I imagin e a naval flag waving in authority at the Horse Guards; sur e ly t h e weather-beaten veteran per ambulating the forts and insp ect i ng the military Stores would never venture to look behind him, aware of the derision and contempt which would be standing in alto relieve upon his gallant retinue, faces too flushed and crimsoned to the colour of th e i r mart i a l garbs. No, th e veteran tar would i n d eed be a* a fish out of water, gasping and con vu l sed by the effect of the unnatural element in whi c h h e was placed. For the navy lot the offensive co nce p t i on be annihilated. Now, con cern i ng this Admiralty affair, ' and including the reasons fur it, there is a vast deal m if not cur pas•ing the high reach of h ave eneee- Toured to bring down within the reach of common sense, but having already spun oeft?ntbeellescatid, out so long a yarn, I must reel up and present my article. In offering this marine essay, I have sought to vindi cate and uphold the honour of the British navy, and for my encouragement I hear in advocacy the voice of our whichriv rivallin g l 1 1 1 n g idolized national guardian; Britannia calls talon I for justice and honour due, for Britannia rules the waves, the glory of il - -er Sceptre; and regarding the state stigma fixed upon her favourite sons of the ocean, she stands indignant, and in proud resentment turns tho wilful and disgracing aberration over, a s a choice article for our witty and sprightly Plincli. Wo have had a long range of illustrious statesmen moving be'ore the public, as monster children in leading-strings. We have had cyphers placed upon a summit, and contemplating the philosophical elevation, I bid m y adieu, not howev e r so deeply subm erge d in wondering reverie, as to sink the hope that the trident of our national Sovereignty may be no more placed in the hands of a presumptuous, ignorant, hhaoseless lsndaraan......j am , Sir, yours, &n.. A FLAG-OFFICER, ACCIDENT To TH E D OVER E XPR ESS T R A IN .—A n accident of a rath er alarming character, but happily unat tended by the s li g h test personal injury to the passengers, occurred yesterday morning to the express train, which leaves Dover at eight n.st. While passing the Edenbridge station the carriages ran oil the rails, but the driver was fortunately able to sto the train almost instantly, and the passengers all dcacendp ed unhurt. By means of the electric telegraph assistance was immediately obtained, and precau tionary measures taken to prevent accident to approaching trains. At ter' a abort time the passengers were enabled to proceed to their destinations, the only inconvenience experi enced having been delay and consequent anxiety to friends. The carriages were replaced on the rails, and the ordinary traffic of the lino eras resumed within two hours after the %INES LEAS: a-saczon 111331 f TIMM. Leading Railways. corapudes.

Notwithstanding that the arrivals of English Wheat, this week, coastwise and by land carriage, have bean some— what on the increase, the show of samples of bath red and white here to-day was very limited, but quite equal to the wants of the millers. Selected qualities sold at Monday's prices ; but low and middling parcels were heavy, and a total clearance of them was not effected. The imports of Foreign Wheat have amounted to 3,230 quarters; but the quantity on offer was comparatively small. The large quantity of French Flour at band had a depressing influence upon the trade, arid late rates were with difficulty supported. Floating cargoes were much neglected, yet we cannot call them lower. With both English and Foreign Barley we were tolerably well, but not to say largely, supplied. Picked samples fit for malting were steady at late rates. In grinding and distilling sorts very little was doing. No change took place in the value of malt, for which article the inquiry ruled inactive. The show of Oats was limited, whilst the demand for most kinds was 'steady, at full prices. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour were very dull. tlißlVALti 11:116 Uctiri 3,260 sinrr To.day's market inmer.D. was very moderatel sulied with Feasts; neverth e l ess , as the attendance y pp of buyers was limited, the demand for that _description of stock ruled heavy, at Monday's decline in the quotations. The number of Sheep was slightly on the increase compared with Friday last. All breeds met a very slow inquiry• but we have no change to notice in prices. The extreme figure for the best old Downs, in the wool, was 4s 2d per 81bs. In Lambs very little business was transacted, yet Down qualities were ,worth Eli 8d per filbs.
