The DERBY Cabinet will nowhere find reason for a more onerous sense of responsibility than in refer ence to their administration of our Forty Colonies. It is a rather serious reflection, therefore, that at a juncture of supreme importance, the colonial de partment of the British Government should be pre sided over by a statesman so little known by the display of distinguished capacities as the Right Hon. Baronet Sir JoaN PAKINGTON. Fortunately, the country is already able to appreciate the merits of almost all the other conspicuous members of the Ministry. It knows by many years of experience the vigorousintellect of the Noble Earl now the Prime Minister of England. His capability in the conduct of affairs has been recognised in many positions of eminence and under circumstances of very extraor dinary import. His administrative skill has been re vealed scarcely less frequently in office than his rhetorical powers have shone with peculiar splendour in debate. For testimony in regard to the former we have only to look to the records of history during the last eight Administrations, as in regard to the latter we need only glance very cursorily through the Pages of Hansard. If nothing else testified the genius of Lord DERRY as a ruler of the land, ample evidence of that fact would be discoverable in his method of conducting the affairs of his department, as Lord STANLEY during the memorable interval when from 1841 to 1845 Sir ROBERT PEEL guided with his master-hand the helm of the State, infusing so much regularity and precision into the intricate operations of the Government. Hardly less manifest by this time are the scope and adaptability of those mental endowments which have suddenly raised the Right Hen. BENJAMIN DISRA d ELI to the Leadership an of the House of Commons the Chancellorship of the Exchequer. Everybody i9' moreover, tolerably we ll acquainted with that profound legal eru diti on which the nation has recently rewarded by the bestowal of a coronet upon Si r E D WARD SUG DEN , no w the Lord Baron ST. LEONARD'S, and hi s sense o f w hich the PREMIER has marked by his High Chan cellor. is promotion of the new peer ta the dignity of Lord Within the past half-year, we have been enabled likewi se, to understand the reas ons which ac tuated the Earl cf DERBY in fillin g up, as he ha s done, the responsible posts of the Home and F ore i gn Secretaries. The industry of the Right Hon. SPENCER, W ALPOL E has not bee n less conspicuously shown daring the lapse of the long vacation than the Promptitude and patriotism of the Earl of MmaiEs busy were rendered apparent by his resolute course in reference to the British North American Fisheries. Liberality of sentiment has been unexpectedly displayed by Mr. HENLEY. Forethought has been visible in the policy of Mr. HER.. RIES. Business habits of no ordinary excel lence have, to the amazement of his most prejudiced depreciatory, been detected in Lord JoaN MANNERS—Iong sneered at as an in different rhymer and en eccentric visionary, the preu.z chevalitir of Young England, priat 4 ly ooetumed, it was thought, in a m ore appro. white waist- THE SUN, coat than in the official embroidery of the Windsor uniform. Out of the entire group of our newly gazetted Administrators, only two have in any re markable manner revealed that incapacity, or that lack of common prudence, which, of all things, are assuredly the most deplorable in one of the principal members of a great Government. Public opinion has been grossly and wantonly outraged by Major BERMEORD, as Secretary at W ar , w hile the Colonial department of the Administration has been brought into grievous discredit by what would appear to be the mingled ignorance and indolence of the Right Hon. Sir JOHN PAKINGTON. The incident referred to as affecting the character of the Secretary at War cannot, of course, be duly estimated until the matter has been brought under the serious consideration of the Legislature. It is not so, however, with the cir cumstances here implied in relation to the course pursued by the present Colonial Secretary. That course may unhappily, even now, without any fur ther investigation by way of preliminary, be only too clearly appreciated. There is no difficulty in under standing at a glance that the conduct of Sir Jons PA.KINGTON in abruptly, nay, even discourteously dismissing Mr. CHANDLER and his brother delegate from any further negotiations in regard to the mag- nificent enterprise projected by the local Governments of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the neighbour. ing provinces, must prove in the end to have been fraught with trouble to the mother country, if it do not actually lead to some such disastrous consequence as her total loss of the two Canadas. Bearing this lamentable illustration of the Ministerial incapacity of Sir JOHN PAKINGTON very vividly in our remem brance, we cannot but look forward with the most painful anxiety to the future ill consequences of his unaccountable elevation to the Chief Secretaryship of the Colonial Department, under the auspices of the Earl of D Hunt' s Administr ation. What naturally, or we may say necessarily, en hances our anxiety in reference to Sir Jonei PALING TON, is the circumstance already specified, namely, that the present juncture in the history of the British Empire is one of very solemn and supreme importance in relation to the mode of government adopted towards our forty gigantic and widely-separated colonial pos sessions. Upon the policy of England at this critical moment in the all-important matter here particu larized depends the retention of those forty colonies by England, or their successive, possibly their simultaneous, severance from the rule of the British SovaaxlGN. Assuredly, therefore, it becomes the bounden duty of the PRIME 'MINISTER at such a momentous period in our annals to place some more competent administrator than an intelligent Chairman of Quarter Sessions at the head of the Colonial De partment. Unless some prompt and vigorous chanee be made in this particular, the consequences may b as fearful as they are by the majority at this instant unanticipated. There are, undoubtedly, those amongst us who consider that it would be to the ad vantage of the United Kingdom if, one by one, we were voluntarily to relinquish our authority over our colonial possessions. Such, let us at once assert with all conceivable distinctness, are not the views with which we look forward to the maintenance of the proud position England has attained amongst the foremost of the powers of Christendom. It is in the nature of things, of course, that gradually, as time goes on, a subordinate colony should expand into an independent state, exercising the rights and privileges of irresponsible government. It was thus with the United States. It will be thus, also, when the requi site interval of development has elapsed, with the vast island, or rather the fifth continent of Australia. Nevertheless, while it would be idle to dream for a moment of interrupting the natural course of events in this direction, it is surely the part of a wise and judicious system of government to prevent anything like a precipitate severance, or a premature disrup tion. Instead of acting thus, it is to the interest of a Government like that presiding over the destinies of the British empire to endeavour by all imaginable means to preserve her connexion with her scattered dependencies for as long a period as possible intact, so that when the hour of inevieable separation arrives, the newly constituted powers should still be allied to the old mother country by the indissoluble bonds of gratitude—bonds welded by affection, and linked to gether by an unbroken series of noble and elevating associations. Bearing ourselves thus towards our re motest territories, even when the ultimate hour had arrived, even when the last of the forty colonies of Great Britain had become ssparated by the lapse of time, and the course of events, and the process of de velopment from the grand old state to which they had all of them alike at one period owned a wil ling and implicit allegiance England woule still maintain to the last something snore than the mere shadow of her pristine glory and her ancient puissance—she would still preserve an inalienable because a moral predominance over her divided terri tories—she would still continue the parent state around whose banners would throng more readily even than of old the brave descendants of the children of her soil, transplanted by her humanity into other climes, and fostered by her care to the maturity of national independence. At the present juncture the DERBY Cabinet will have immediate reason to acquit themselves with vigour, but at the same time with caution, of the enormous responsibilities to which we have above alluded—in the eastern hemisphere in reference to Hindostan—in the western hemisphere in reference to Canada—in the southern hemisphere in reference to Australia. Upon each of these important subjects we have ourselves at different times already com mented. We have examined each separately, and have explained in regard to each the nature of our aspirations. Various other recommendations upon the same subject might d ou btl ess b e a d vance d w ith similar plausibility. What we have spoken, how ever, we have spoken conscientiously and with deli beration. It now rests with the Legislature, under the guidance, or at any rate at the instigation of the Government, to investigate the matter more closely, and it is therefore with no common solicitude that w e now await the speedy assembling of both Houses of Parliament —commending the great question of our colonial policy to their serious and patriotic conside ration. As CESAR wrote to OPPIUS and BALBUS--- " Hoc quemadmodum fieri possit, nonnulla mihi in mentem veniunt, et multa reperiri possunt; de its re bus rogo vos ut cogitati onem suscipiatis." Asso ciated with this anxious consideration will come, Of course, the thought to which we must again give utterance, the thought that u nder these agitating cir cumstances, that at this momentous crisis, the colonial department of Englan d is presided over by au administrator no less incompetent than the Right Hon. Sir JOHN PARINGTON. There is nothing on which the welfare and pros perity of a nation so greatly depends as the amount of banking facilities afforded to the community. A. circulating medium adequate to its wants and exi gencies is the very life-blood of industry. When that is abundant, trade flourishes, and a general ac tivity is perceptible. Every man able and willing to work is sure of obtaining employment at remunera tive wages. The natural capabilities of the country are fully developed, production increases, and the labouring population are contented and peaceable. We have unfortunately had too many examples of a different state of affairs, to ren der it necessary to explain the serious evils that re sult from a restricted and inadequate currency. w e are but too painfully cognizant thereof. It would be a work of supererogation to explain them. Persons of all classes and stations in society, have had bitter experience of the melancholy consequences. A shrewd observer has stated that the comforts of working m en depended on the point whether the notes in the hands of the public amounted to 16,000,0001. or 20,000,0001., while one of the most intelligent writers on the affairs of the sister kingdom has ascribed the suffer ings of Ireland chiefly to the want of sufficient hank ing accommodation. In Scotland we find that there are no less than twenty-one joint-stock banks, six char teredoa grgnreeag te r fifteen unchartered, with an ecaacphitfaolrevoefry aggregate capital individual,l3,ooo,ooO w L heth s e te r r m lin a g n, woman, or child of its population. Consequently we find that Scotland is prosperous, that every branch of industry is fully developed, and that notwithstanding the bleakness of its climate, and its less advantageous geographical position, it is not in any respect behind England. Much of this prosperity is of course great fruga ascribable to the sound common sense, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 16, lity, and indefatigable perseverance of the people ; but much is also owing to the numerous wealthy establishments affording every legitimate accommo dation to their customers and the country. In Ireland, on the other hand, there is but one chartered and eight unchartered banks, with an ag gregate paid-up capital of 5,000,0001., of which 2,000,0001. sterling has been borrowed by the Govern ment from the Bank of Ireland, leaving but 3,000,0001., or less than 10s. per head for the use of the people. The state of the country, its wonderful natural advantages remaining neglected and uncared for, and its sturdy yeomen flying from their native land to seek a livelihood where labour is better rewarded, but too painfully indicate the deplo ' :able consequences of this palpable deficiency. Many of our colonies are in the same condition, although the evils are less perceptible, and the existing causes, as in Ireland, are by no means clearly understood. We rejoice to find," however, that the surplus capital now available has been in many instances directed to wards our own dependencies—lndia it is that chiefly requires it, India would afford the most beneficial channel for such investments, not only so far as the interests of the community are concerned, but also with respect to the profits to be obtained by the shareholders, a matter to which capitalists will, of course, chiefly look. On the former point our great manufacturers should bestir themselves. An adequate supply of cotton, and the removal of the practical monopoly now enjoyed by the slaveholding States of America, would be a matter of the most vital importance. The Chamber of Commerce of Manchester has fully re cognised the exigency, and some time since deputed a gentleman of great talent and intelligence to enter upon inquiries which were unfortunately cut short by his premature death. We may, however, state, that banks and railways are all that are wanting to insure an abundant supply of the raw material of what may be termed the staple manufacture of England. If they wish to obtain that great desideratum, they should lend their best aid to the banks now in course of formation. The Bank of India, which has just been brought under public notice, is brought forward under the most auspicious circumstances. Its directors are gentle men of the highest character, whose names are suffi cient to ensure the success of almost any project with which they are concerned. The Bank itself is established for the purpose of carrying on the general business of banking and exchange in India, China, the Mauritius, Ceylon, Singapore, and the other Eastern possessions of the British empire ; for receiving deposits and making remittances; for issuing notes pay able to bearer on demand; for granting cash credits and making advances upon approved securities; for ',suing circular notes payable in Europe, Egypt', the principal stations on the overland routes to India, and at the different establishments of the Bank ; for grant ing drafts and credits ; and for all other legitimate banking business. It will also undertake agencies for the civil and military services in India, the re ceipt and remittance of pay-pensions, dividends, &c., and the purchase and sale of European and Indian securities. There will be an ample field, an almost virgin soil for its labours. It will do more to neutralise the malign influences of the native money-lenders, and thus afford the greatest inducement to the improvel culti vation of cotton, than anything that could be devised. The money employed, too, will not be carried out of the kingdom. On the contrary, it will be employed in the most unexceptionable manner for the benefit of our own people, and the myriads dependent on our rule in the Anglo-Indian Empire. We trust that this important project may obtain the success it so eminently deserves, and that it may prove the precursor of many similar establishments in the different Presidencies. rHE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The following are the latest telegraphic dispatches received by the Government : " Niort, Oct. 13, Half-past Six P.m. " The Prince arrived at Niort at half-past five. He proceeded to the cathedral, where he was received by the Bishop of Poitiers, who came to meet him at the head of upwards of 300 ecclesiastics. The department of the Deux Sevres has shown as much enthusiasm as the de -1 partment3 in its vicinity, and everywhere the Prince has been received on his passage with cries of 'Vive l'Empereur!' His entry into Niort was magnificent. "Poitiers, 14th, 4.45 P.M. " His Higness entered Poitiers at a quarter-past four. An immense crowd thronged the streets; the deputations of the rural communes, headed by banners, were passed in review on the promenade de Biome. The enthusi ism is universal. From the gates of the town to the Pre!'ecture there was only one long-continued cry of • Vive l'Empereur,' and these cries are still repeated. His Highness is in perfect health." The hour for the entry of Prince LOUIS NAPOLEON into Paris this day has been altered to two o'clock P.M. The Patric states that in every part of Paris the workmen have applied to the authorities for permis sion to send deputations to meet the PRESIDENT on his return to Paris. In the Faubourg St. Marceau alone the number of workmen who have expressed a wish to go as a deputation amounts to 8,000. The same journal says that at the moment of the passage of the PRINCE the Orpheonists and the Societe des Enfans de P ar i s , p l ace d on th e T errace o f th e I.:uileries, will s i ng a chorus appropriate to the occa sion. The municipal commission of the city of Paris met on Thursday, and voted an address to the PAIN CE PRESIDENT, which is to be presented on his arrival this day. The Constitutionnel has an article on the text, " the Empire is peace," showing that there will be an invasion of England, but it will be an invasion of French produce • and the Pays, r emar ki ng on t h e withdrawal of English capital from French railways, says it has only served to demonstrate the capabilities of France to provide for her own public works. The following is the said article of the Constitu tionnel under the title of " L'Empire, c'est la Paix :" Three or four journals have been endeavouring for the last ten months to persuade the English people that it is not Socialism but England that was vanquished on the 2d December. An exile, a proscrit was raised to power by the almost unanimous acclamation of France, and this man, honoured by so striking and so glorious a confidence, has not been able to think, according to his violent detractors, to devote himself to the happiness of the people who spontaneously placed him at their head. Gratitude has never animated ihbiiagmsh,tpernaeevdapi his a le tr d iotic or generous idea has never en lightened him nor warmed he hi fi s r h st ea d r ay t; , o u n n e d id th e a a t a i l d on eu e is the rain of England. It is not to release his country from anarchy that he has thrown himself between par ties—it is to be able, at a later period, to strike at Eng land. If he has asked from the people a new ratification of his power, it is to have the right of disposing of our fleets and of our soldiers. If he has sought to re-establish order in the finances, it is to provide the sinews of war. If he has given fresh life to commerce and industry—and if he has given an immense impulse to all great public works, all these efforts, all this perseverance, have only one concealed object—the invasion of England. What astonishes us in this thesis, is not its manifest absurdity —it is the invincible obstinacy with which men who think themselves serious, and that they write con scientiously, maintain it month after month, in spite of the incredulity which they meet with and the little encouragement which they receive in the public opinion of the country. flow many times have they enumerated our men-of-war and our steam-vessels? How many times have they spoken of our Chasseurs de Vincennes, as if their very name alone was to cause every Englishman to shudder? We do not, u o n it d y s l o c f e ' e L p o t n h d em on se h l a y s es e a vi b n u c v e e d much pa r alarm—theth however, d ock s o e e f E thatn L g o li n s London the o F n and Liverpool re t u return to are find En filled England with nd de vastated h v e s oandfetir n ch fo i r us tea, wool, and cot st o e n l p w r i e t p h a n r u i n t g fea to g ring o n ae and her towns and cities in ashes. ce l s t . ap s p o e m ar e s oftyhnantdththeeferaurnge of war tw i o n o L r o t n h d re o e n has never extended be. m m o o r n n th in s g thagon,t the wh noenthass e : e o s f am E e ng j le o n u d rn s al ho s d uld em h a e n l d in ed ed e w ve i r th y ca fnr ri ni n e o d n in a t ud that naiiit e ia v in er a y n ; a w bl h e -ebnotdhiee cockneys mockanneyshsof formed be med trans- them selves into clubs to exercise themselves at shooting with a rifle, and offered to the country, in the columns of one of these journals, an arm which had never before handled anything beyond an umbrella, and we ridiculed these ridiculous apprehensions. Yes,' we then said, France is forging weapons —yes, she will invade England, she will go and sell cotton goods at Liverpool, silk goods at Birmingham, and cutlery at Sheffield. Mount guard, go through the manual exercise, and play at soldiers, whilst we complete our canals and our railways; whilst we labour to give ourselves two powerful instruments for our future conquests—iron and coal at a cheap rate.' We were replied to that peace might be at the bottom of the wishes of France without its being the idea of the Government. The affair was put 4,ff to the 10th of May and to the 15th of August. The 10th of May and the 15th of August came, and showed some fresh progress in the public prosperity —some further steps in the path of pacific ameliorations. The declarations of the representatives of France ,se Acts of her Go vernment, ra o n i se these voluntary the President, were not, however, andall the policy sufficientto tquilli alarmists; it was necessary to have the declaration of the Chief of the State himself. He spoke at the time when France required to hear his voice and to be informed as to her destinies. Was that declaration clear enough, his idea firm and resolute enough, his programme striking enough to satisfy the ambition of a man and the pride of a nation? Wait for the empire' was next the cry. The empire has arrived, and where are the reports of war and preparations for combat? Who is there that is alarmed and trembles? Apostles of fear commence by converting your countrymen, prevent them from landing in thousands on our shores; from investing money in our funds and taking part in our railway spe culations. To all your calumnies, and to your persever ing incredulity we need only make one reply; the testi mony of the people of England, or rather of the whole of Europe, who flock to oral ites, who fill our theatres and our hotels, who empty our shops, and who see with their own eyes that everything in France breathes calm, in dustry, and prosperity. The empire is peace." The Moniteur gives the returns of indirect revenue for the nine morals of the present year, showing an increase over the corresponding period of the previous year of 36,684,000 f., and over the year 1850 of 49,037 ; 000f. The principal increase is under the head of registry of deeds, duties, &c., being more than 12 millions. Customs returns on various kinds of merchandise give an increase of 91 millions, on French colonial sugars upwards of 4 millions, and on foreign sugars nearly 2 millions. There is a decline of nearly 600,0001. on export duties. The salt-tax shows an increase of nearly 3 millions, and the tax on potable liquors an increase of 4 millions. These items serve the double purpose of encouraging reduc tion of duties on articles of consumption, and evince the improved condition of the people. The tobacco duty shows an increase of 2i millions, and the Post office a like sum. The Pairie says—" The last accounts from Hor nolulu state that King KAMEAH-MEAH was about to send to Paris an envoy extraordinary to negotiate a treaty destined to remove the difficulties which have arisen between France and the Government of the Sandwich Islands."

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 15,000 bales, of which 5,000 were taken for ex port and on speculation. The market closed firmly,— Railway Shares were quiet at rather easier rates. The statement made two or three days since under this head, that the bullion in the coffers of the Bank of England would show an increase of some amount during the week to the 9th inst, has proved correct, and there is, likewise, a slight extension of circulation. The quar terly payments had not, however, proceeded up to that date to an extent that trenched upon the public deposits, nor was there much addition to the discount business. The bullion brokers have recently been paying in large sums in gold to their credit at the Bank, and hence arises the increase.

The letters to July 26 from Sydney, and July 17 from Melbourne, by the Overland Mail are very cheer ing upon the subject of mining. In one week, to July 3, 400,0001. came down under escort to Melbourne, and 160,0001. were then left behind at the diggings. The sheep owners were suffering much for want of labour. The commercial advices from Buenos Ayres are very encouraging. At Rio the holidays were interfering with business. The amount of bullion exported from London direct during the week to Thursday last was 111,220 ounces of silver and 24,754 ounces of gold, the latter chiefly to Ceylon, the Mauritius, &c. Stocks are a little firmer, prices coming better from Paris. Consols realise 100 k to 1 for Transfer, and 1001 for Account. Bank Stock is at 2241 to 2251, being higher.

PLYMuUIH, SATURDAY, EIGHT A.M. The General Screw Steam Shipping Company's mail steam packet Bosphorus, Commander Benson, has just arrived. She left the Cape of Good Hope o❑ the 6th Septem ber, St. Helena on the 15th, Ascension on the 19th, and St. Vincent's on the Ist October. General Cathcart has returned with the troops from the expedition on the River Kei. The Camp Kraal of the Kafir Cbief Krelli has been burnt. Ten thousand head of cattle, horses, &c., h a ve been taken. His Excellency has expressed his entire approval of the troops and the burghers. He says his object has been fully attained. The Waterkloof, as well as many of the frontier districts, continues to he infested by predatory bands , and rebel Hottentots. It is said that Withalder, their chief, and the celebrated Macomo, have made overtures for peace, and those competent to judge consider the war on it°• last legs. Some of the passengers by the Bosphorus think the sequel is as far off as ever. No gold dust has been discovered, but there are slight indications of gold deposits near the Water kloof. The General Screw Steam Shipping Company's mail packet Lady Jocelyn sailed from St. Helena for the Cape on the 13th of September. The screw steam-ship Cleopatra, with mails for the Cape, was spoken by the Bosphorous on the 24th of September, in long. 17 W., lat. 9 N.
