A Secretary of State for our Defence and War Establishments would effectually perhaps dissipate m e t r h e e t fears hee raised by the ala rmists, and tend anything to the consolidation of the British empire. newpossibility Ministerial de partment in the Ad ministration ? In the suggestion tem itself wa can recognis e no very enormous ca n perceive i n i t any more than we any very egregious culpability. It would not by any means necessitate such changes in the government of the country, that we should by its ad vocacy be aiding in the subversion of any section whatsoever of the Constitution. On the con trary, the creation of an office such as the one here proposed would necessarily assist in securing on stronger foundations than ever those glorious insti tutions to which the people of England have long dedicated the energies of their patriotism. The con struction cf such additional machinery to promote the labours and extend the efficiency of the adminis tration would, we maintain, be an effort rather of preservation than of innovation. It would effect the union and concentration of powers at the present moment deplorably scattered. It would be the application in another and a more suc cessful way of capabilities, the value of which has been hitherto deteriorated by their want of accord in action and coincidence in policy. It rust not be imagined for an instant that by i n _ ale . ting upon the advisabili - y of having a Secretary ship or State for our D deco and War Establiabmente, we are propounding vie W 3 in any respect comparable to those which actuated M. Louis llnaric i n — demanding from the Na ational Assembly ,fi th e appointment of a Ministry for the rogalati on ote: bour, for the Organization du Travail. The 1 anc , ; from the authorri(tlue by extorting a compli tes of the French Republic, w ould in so doin g have inau gurated the reign of the not evil ° Socialist, if it had pened a door for the ad mission of the pernicious doctrines of Communism. The former request would, if acceded to, mer e ly con duce to the greater security of the perils of inva sion.

' ' ' • ‘ .' ....* THE SUN, by the Commander.in-Chief—uniting with these also some of th e respons ibili t i es at present en trusted to the Home Secretary. Once establi-hed—the ' i Secretary of State for the Defence and War Depart ' ments would be the man to whom the nation could at all times of emergency forthwith ap ply for any desirable information. He would be enabled thus to allay every anxiety felt by the po pulation. He would be empowered to take every rational and requisite measure of precaution. He would be, so to speak, the custodian of the .Egis of the Empire, capable at every crisis of extending the shield of warlike authority over whatever part of the country might be threatened with assault. Already we have referred in terms of deserved commendation to the pamphlet'' in which this Minis terial appointment has very recently been advo cated. The importance of its suggestions, however, induce us again to revert to its pages fur the purpose of directing upon them the attention of the general community. They comprise within a brief compass facts of peculiar significance—facts which are just now more than ever entitled to a very earnest and extended examination. After the passage quoted from it in the course of our remarks on Thursday evening, the writer goes on to show in a manner very admi rable for its perspicuity, the advantages derivable from the nomination of this fourth Secretary of State. He ought to be empowered, observes the pamphleteer, so to organize the whole naval and mi litary forces of the kingdom as would enable him thus to address the nation :—" As there appears at the present moment to be very great doubt in various parts of the country as to our security against fo reign attack, and as many brave and gallant men have considered it their duty to sound the note of alarm—and as several of our naval and military departments are much found fault with and strongly suspected of being in efficient—and as the Daily Press is earnestly urging these matters on the notice of the public, asserting that we are not in a healthy state, either for defence or for war, and publishing every sort of suggestion and every man's opinion, of what is ne cessary to be done, I consider it my duty to assure her MAJESTY'S loyal subjects, that although we entertain no doubt as to the honest intentions of our neighbours, and of their good feeling towards this country, yet that her MAJESTY'S Ministers have not been inattentive observers of all that is passing on the Continent, nor are they resting our security only on our insular position ; every measure of precaution has been taken to prevent the proba bility, if not the possibility, of any attempt being made to insult or injure this kingdom by effecting a hostile landing on any part of her shores ; but I may add more—for should they, by some chance, ' Through fog or in darkness get o'er, They will find ready Britons, To meet them on shore.' " In a word, then, I can assure the nation that all our arrangements, preparations, and calculations are made, and should any enemy be foolhardy enough to make the attempt, and by any unforeseen accident, effect a landing on some part of our coast, it might take twenty, forty, perhaps even sixty minutes before he could be effectually opposed, but it would not be more than three or four hours before, with GOD'S help, he would be completely annihilated or driven into the ocean, for his vessels would have been before that time destroyed or taken. The electric telegraph will have given us instantaneous informa tion from every post, and measures have been taken for the conveyance of the necessary force to the spots where they would be required. I may say, indeed, that every house has its appointed garri son—every position its artillery—every hedge its skirmishers, men of known ability and zeal have commissions in their pockete, and authority to assemble their men, for as England expects every man to do his duty, so every one has his proper post assigned him, and although all may not wear red coats all are prepared for action. The Secre tary of State for the Home Department has made the necessary arrangements for, a reserve civil power, to carry on the duties of that department, so that in case of any emergency its whole physical force, which is extending itself most usefully in all counties, will be handed over to me for the purposes of defence and to support our gallant standing army ; more I do not consider it politic to state, than that the Government is fully prepared to avail itself of all volunteer corps, either of cavalry or infantry. I ask the confidence of the country." Imagine, for a moment, the satisfaction of the community at the present juncture, suppo ing words like these were addressed to the nation by his Grace the Duke of 'WELLINGTON. Let a Seer( tiry of State for cur Defence and War Establishments be appointed, and let the present Commander-in-Chief a the Forces be inducted into the office, and we warrant we should very speedily have an end of these periodical panics abcut invasion. A change of this character, accom panied by the organization of a Standing Navy, and by the introduction of a system that would place the Army on a better footing in regard to its efficiency is—we feel satisfied—the most reasonable, the most economical, and in every way the most advisable of all the precautionary measures that could be taken by her MAJESTY'S Government. * " Alt moranclum on the Necessity of a Secretary of State for our Defence and War Establishments," &c. London: Ridgway, 1332. Mr. COBDEN has entered upon a course of agita tion. The premier pas at Manchester has been fol lowed up by a second effort at Leeds, which we are happy to say was of a much more satisfactory cha racter than its predecessor, being comparatively free from many grave errors with which the former might justly have been charged. His speech was delivered in the very heart of the important constituency which had selected him as one of its chosen representatives— selected him not on account of aristocratic birth, or of unbounded wealth, but as one of the champions of a principle—selected him, too, without any selicita• Lion on his own part, or canvassing on the part of his personal friends, but because his election, under such circumstances, would exhibit the most conclusive evidence of the unceasing devotion of the numerous and intelligent electors of the West Riding to the glorious doctrines of free trade, and their undying hatred of injustice and monopoly. His election was a graceful tribute of respect to the unquestionable services he had rendered to the good cause, but it bad another and still more important aspect; it was intended to show the utter hopelessness of any attempt to re vive the vexata questio, or to bring back the obnoxi ous bread-tax. In that light it was considered by Mr. COBDEN himself, and in that point of view it was regarded by the country. It was not merely a personal compliment, it was the cause, not the indi vidual, to which the tribute was paid. But Mr. COB DEN might well feel proud at being taken as one of the m os t e ffi c i ent and worthy soldiers fighting under that sacred banner, and to that extent he may justly boast e of the hi g h an d , un d er the c i rcumstances, almos t unparall led honour conferred upon him. lat Te speech ed h chie to o f the the e su b H j eoent. on w Gentlemanhich he at bad Leedsgai gained d his former laurels. time be was During the greater p o rti on o f the ada resling the numerous and intelligent speaking of the unequivocal ad of a free imp o r tat i on There was this di fference, formerly hi s argu ments the theory, now h e was enabled speak of the pr act i cal results, which more t I: ov a a u an d r tikat markets. s , of corn into our sangltase expecta t ions battles o' er agai n ," but from a very of the Free-traders. r n h a ent n confirmed t o most e w ere directed to fought decided vantage.ground, and with once en joyed that those who had the certainty the blessings to which be wa s alludin g would not eas il y be induced to rehnquis • • h the comforts of which they were in actual possession. Any attempt to pou rtray these advantage s m i ght be regard e d as something analogous to the effort refined gold, to gild To paint the lily, or cast a perfume on the violet." Mr. COBDEN, however endeavoured , and succes fully, to pl ace these mat ters in the best light. His illustrations came home to every working man's heart, and it is almost unnecessary to say that every se ntence on that p ar t o f t h e su bj ect was greeted with the most rapturous and enthusiastic applause. The Hon. Gentleman, t oo , did a li tt l e bit of elec tioneering on his own account; and we do not at all blame him for the readines s w i t h which he turne d the tide of enthusiasm into °" 11 private channels. The most dexter ous and skilful doubtful contest could no t h ave exh ibi te d j agent that ever managed a LONDON, greater tact or judgment. He had intended not to have again solicited the most sweet voices of the voters of the West Riding. He had " intimated to his friends, that at another election, he,should re tire from the West Riding, and that he hoped his old friends at Stockport would have forgiven him for allowing himself to be forced from them, and that he might again represent them in the Legislature." "Not a month ago" he gave that as a final answer, but circumstances had changed—the Whigs were out and the Protectionists in, and therefore he was once more at the service of the largest English consti tuency. They might if they thought proper elect him and he would accept the responsibility. We hope and trust that they will do so. We will not say that RICHARD COBDEN could not be spared from the Legislature, and therefore must be elected for the West Riding, for whatever the result of that election he would easily fil.d a seat; but we should deeply regret any cessation of his connexion wi h probably the most influential constituency in the United Kingdom. Let RICHARD COBDEN, then, be again elected gratuitously, and by a large and deci sive majority. It will be justly regarded as a de monstration in favour of the " big loaf"—of cheap and untaxed food—and will not in any degree commit the electors to the Peace Society humbug, or the other fallacies which the Hon. Gentleman is rather too fond of countenancing. But although we would render every honour to the champion of free trade, that is no reason why we should elevate him into an irresponsible dictatorship, and bow down submissively to his high behests, how ever strongly convinced of the injustice, the impolicy, and impropriety of his arguments. We therefore felt it to be an imperative duty to resist the proposition which he made at Manchester for a factious and un warrantable opposition to the present Ministry—not in reference to the measures that they may be en shied actually to introduce into either House, but as to what they might be disposed to do if they had the power. If ever there was a point satisfactorily disposed of, it is that there will be no attempt to in troduce anything in the shape of a duty on the importation of foreign corn, either for the purpose of protection or revenue during the present session of Parliament. It has been clearly, distinctly, and unequivocally shelved until the voice of public opinion shall, with full notice, be called upon to pronounce its judgment—a final judg ment, so far as the Protectionists are concerned—but one that would lead to interminable contests if, by any possibility, the cause of monopoly should gain a temporary triumph. Why then revive the question ? Why compel the party either to bring forward un tenable measures, or to renounce opinions which they have a right to maintain, so long as they take no steps to carry them into practical execution ? Let us see what may be offered by the Government in the way of social, legal, or financial re forms. The LIOMB SECRETARY only yesterday spoke of the propriety of a re-adjustment of taxation ; that is our own opinion, and why should we en deavour to force back into office those who are opposed to every amendment, and would retain the ancient abuses with all their iniquities ? When we hear the Ministerial plan we shall be equally willing to receive a tender from the Whigs and Peelites, and then, without reference to former quarrels, to bestow the prize upon the most deserving —on those who offer the greatest boons to the industrious classes. This is our object, and we believe that it is what would prove most beneficial for the community ; while we are firmly convinced that the course recommended by Mr. COBDEN at Manchester, but, we are happy to say, scarcely touched on at Leeds, would be highly prejudicial to the interests ' of the community. For that reason, and that only, we opposed Mr. COBDEN, and as firm and un flinching Free-traders endeavoured to point out the propriety, the justice of showing fair play to the pre sent Administration, and not forcing the question upon them until they exhibit an unequivocal detenni, nation to bri❑g it forward. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC, We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. They give much consideration to the treaty passed between the Government and the Bank, according to which the latter, in consideration of reducing its rate of interest to three per cent., and of making ad vances on railway shares, besides relieving the Go vernment of the immediate payment of the seventy live millions due by the State, has its charter con firmed to 1867. The reduction of interest to three per cent. meets with general approval, as does, indeed, the extension of loans on deposits of public securities to railway shares ; yet it is suggested by the Sicle that the Bank directors ought to exercise a very sound dis cretion on this point, or they may be led away further than they may probably be aware of. It is calculated that 300 millions of capital will have to be raised for the execution of the different lines and branches lately conceded, not to speak of some important concessions which are in contempla tion. The policy of the Government in making this bargain with the Bank is plainly directed to the encouraging of railway speculation, which it is evidently feared may be pushed too far, and at some future day lead to a dangerous financial crisis. The Government plan for raising the condition of the country would seem to consist chiefly in opening large facilities for borrowing money, at the same time pointing speculation to railway investments, and all for sake of keeping the working people employed —a good motive certainly, hut the hints about prudence thrown out by the Siècle are not unfounded. There is one article of the treaty with the Bank which is disapproved of, and by which the weekly returns published in the Moniteur are to be sup pressed. The Bank will, however, publish a quar terly statement ; but, as a barometer of the state of trade, the weekly accounts were held to be of great value. The Assemblie Nationale winces a little at the composition of the Government debt, although at the rate of 20s in the pound ; for to pay a bill with in stalments spread over fifteen years would, in the com mercial world, rather shake the pros ige of a firm, although not standing quite so high as French Re public and Co. "Looking, however," says this journal, " at the first demands raised on the Trea sury by the decrees 'which every morning meet our eyes, we must acknowledge that every penny is needed." The Moniteur contains the last weekly account of the Bank, of which the following are the only im portant items : Specie ••• Ditto, departments... Portfolio Ditto, branches ... Advances on French Public Securities... Ditto in departments ... Advances to the state on Ex chequer bills ... ... 50,000,000 Advances to the state by the Treaty of June, 1848 ...

The portfolio has again Callen upwards of 5 millions, but im proved by more than 1/ million in the departments; thus showing that in the capital business has been going from bad to worse. The notes circulation is contracted 5f millions in Paris, remaining stationary in the departments. Credit to Treasury has increased better than a million. Accounts current have in creased 4 millions in Paris, and nearly 11 in the departments, The item of 75 millions under the head of advance to the State by peaty of June, 1848, is that which has been compounded for by 15 years' instalments. Public Securities were not so firm at the Bourse. The Five per Cents. opened at 106 f. 60c., rose to 106 f. 80c.. fell subsequently to 105 f. 85c., and closed at 106 f. 10c. for the end of the month; the Three per Cents. closed at 69f. 70c.; Orleans Railway Shares, 1,15514 Rouen, ‘ , 6951 .; Havre, 275 f.; Great Northern, 6 151 .; Avign on, 240 f.; Vierzon, 550 F.• Basle, 232 f. 5 0 c.; Bordeau x, 4851.;22.

His departure is a natural coosequence of the change of Ministry. The Madrid Gazette publishes the receipts of the revenue for January last. They amounted to 76,160,268 reals, being a❑ increase of more than six millions on those of January, 1851. The Epoca states that the Spanish Government is about to take effective measures to clear the capital of the vagabonds and thieves who infest it. The 29th being Sunday, there was no Bolsa. GERMANY. The Wiener Zeitung contains a telegraphic dis patch, dated Trieste, February 28, from the Governor, stating that the EMPEROR left Trieste by the war steamer, St. Lucia, at five in the morning. Another telegraphic dispatch, dated Venice, announces the arrival of the EMPEROR in that city at three o'clock in the afternoon, and his enthusiastic reception by the inhabitants. Dispatches are said to have been received here from Berlin, announcing the desire of the Cabinet that the Austrian Government would ta k e a part i❑ the conferences of the Customs Con gress about to be held in that city. It is therefore concluded that the Government will he represented at Berli❑ by the Councillor of State, M. VON HOEK. The intelligence from Warsaw respecting the visit of the Empsror of RUSSIA to that capital begins to acquire more consistency, but it is not known whether he will go on to Berlin. Preparations are being made on a large scale at Warsaw, and it is evident that several illustrious visitors are expected there. The railway works for the line from 'Warsaw to St. Petersburgh are being carried on with much energy. It is said that the Prussian Government has con voked the Customs Congress for the 29:h March. The Diet of Weimar, in its sitting of the 261 ult., adopted the project of law re-establishing the privi leges accorded to the ancient knights of the empire. A letter from Vienna, of the 29th ult., in the Notional G azette of Berlin, says :—" Letters have been received here from Madrid, which affirm that the Spanish Government is soliciting the mediation of the foreign powers, relative to the demand made on it by th e F renc h Government for the repayment of 115 millions of francs, for the cost of the expedition of 1823."

The Chamber then commenced the discussion of the project of law for the liquidation of the debt of 1851. After a very tedious debate, the project was thrown out by a majority of 30 against 4.

Trevelyan, The Chancellor of the Exchequer said—l award both loans to the Economic Life Assurance Company, their tenders being the highest. The Governor of the Bank inquired whether this would not be the proper period for himself and his col league, the Deputy-Governor, to ascertain the minimum price fixed by the Government in the sealed envelope which lay before them. Sir C. Trevelyan said the practice had not been uniform on that point, but such a course had been frequently adopted. 'rho Chancellor of the Excbequer was understood to say he saw no objection to it. The Governor of the Bank having broken the seal of the envelope and perused its contents, submitted it to the Deputy• Governor, acd then said,—" We have satis fied ourselves by ascertaining that the minimum price fixed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer is under those made in the highest tenders."

The immense returns yielded to the proprietors of the Burra Burra mines are in favour of the enterprise, the ground selected comprising 653 acres of mineral land, about 30 miles from Adelaide, and pronounced by competent persons to be a continuation of the Burra Burra district. It must ba remembered, however, that copper mining in South Australia presents features totally different from the English copper mining, it having been found in nuree rous instances that when a large and most promising ' lode' has been struck, it has, after working for a short time, suddenly brk.ken off into numerous and minute . branches, that would render working at a profit impos sible. sible. Indeed, although it may be admitted t ex traordinary prize may turn up, as in the caseohathe Burra Burra mines, yet experience has shown of _ines, abso lute necessity of caution in making purcorp•ing, in order and also of extreme economy in their w adequate to render render them at all likely to afford_cvando tan the praent of the turn for the capital invested.
