The Earl of Danny has abandoned Protection in his character of Prime Minister of England. So also has Mr. DISRAELI, as Chancellor of the Exchequer. The example of the Leader of the Lords and of the Leader of the Commons has, more over, been emulated by almost all the other conspicuous members of the Administration. Be yond this—the Government has already sig - nificantly declared itself in favour of an extraor dinary variety of very important innovations—inno vations of a most liberal tendency, and indicative of genuine enlightenment. There can no longer be any doubt in these particulars. They are obvious beyond the reach of contradiction. They force them selves, however unwillingly, upon the recognition of the most resolute opponents of the Cabinet. What is, if possible, yet more remarkable, is the fact, that in all these changes there is no hocus-pocus—the successors of the RUSSELL Ministry moving as naturally along the grooves of reform as the successors of the KIEL' BOURNE Ministry did when Sir ROB ERT P EEL CS mimed the reins of the British Government. It would appear, in sooth—judging from our last quarter of a century's experience —that it is no less the prerogative of the Tories when in office to turn Reformers than of the Whigs when in o ffi ce to become Conservatives. Look at the results of the last six Administrations in tes timony of this, and see whether such has not actually been the fashion of these amazing official transforma tions. What was gained, we should like to know, from the Whig Ministry, formed in the April o f 1835—what was gained from that Cabinet to the country, we should like to know, in the way of com prehensive improvements ? Little or nothing ! What, on the contrary, was not gained by the people of the United Kingdom from the Tory Ministry, formed in the September of 1841 —gained, we mean, in the form of a series of laws constituting an evidence of grand legislative developement ? When the ever memorable Government of Sir ROBERT PEEL, after being shaken in 1845, was overturned in 1846, and when the Whigs again occupied the places of autho rity from which, in 1841, they appeared to have been driven for a much more protracted interval —the old anomalous changes once more descended upon their counsels, and the community was doomed to witness the indefinite postponement of reforms which they had been led to count upon as certainties so soon as the fair spoken leaders of the Opposition were once installed in the offices of the Imperial Government. Our allu. sions must be understood as having especial and almost exclusive reference to the unwillingness evinced by the statesmen of the RUSSELL Admiostra tion, during nearly f , iX years of uninterrupted power, to secure to the nation the advantage of those great reforms, which were recognised by the masses ssessen tial to the continued growth in this country of the sacred principles of civilization. Notwithstanding all our indignation at the legisla tive short-comings of the RINSELL Government, we are not blind to the glory which must henceforth, in the pages of our nmional history, invest the remem brance of that fallen, and no'.if in some respects despised, Adminiitretion. Neither are we deaf to its great claims upon the popular respect in two particulars—to those clai ms which will, we believr., resound in elcquer z t and solemn tones to many after generation!. As we have never been blind to that glory, as we have never been deaf to those claims, so we slidl never be dumb in pro claiming them again and again upon every available opportunity—least of all shall wo refrain from de manding for them the homage :of the gratitude and admiration of the multitude, now that Lord JOHN RUSSELL is no longer in the proud position of First Minister of the Crown of England, now that that eminent man and his colleagues are denied the prero gatives and relieved from the respo;sibilitics of go vernment. Henceforth, therefore, as we have already repeatedly insisted, and as we still at this moment insist with no less than all our former emotions of earnestness—henceforth it will be remembered by the people, and asserted by the historians of Great Britain, that the RUSSELL Cabinet was great in 1847, when resisting the simultaneous advance of the twin demons of Famine and Pestilence, and in 1848 when opposing its energies to the wiles of Anarchy and the frenzy of Revolution. The recollection of those times will never fade from the remembrance of the population so long as moral courage and Minis terial skill can be in the smallest degree appreciated. It can never be forgotten that in those terrible junc tures the political outcasts of 1852 where in undis puted ascendancy—and, whatever may be said in his disparagement under other considerations, either by ourselves or by those who sympathise with us in opinion, Lord JOHN RUSSELL can never be deprived of the very enviable renown of having occupied at that crisis the lofty and responsi'ele post of Prime Minister of England, in which capacity upon each of those specified occasions he acquitted himself—the world knows it, and history will attest it—as became the Leader of the British Government ! Yet, apart from 1847 and the Famine, apart from 1848 and the Revolution, justice compels us to speak no less decidedly of the legislative short-comings, and of the administrative incapacity of the RUSSELL Ca binet, in the most stern and uncompromising language of indignation. Vigorous administrators though the members of that Cabinet showed themselves to be when confronted with a dread and awful calamity, or when threatened by a sinister and menacing insurrec tion, they proved themselves for the most part, at other times and under circumstances, to be shuffins in the Chambers of legislation, and incapables in the offices of Government. They were traitors to the cruse to which they had pledged themselves while still numbered amongst the ranks of the Opposi tion. The friends of Reform out of power—in power they were its most bitter and systema tic antagonists. _Hansard from 1846 to 1851 inclusively yields unfortunate evidence of this in a thousand particulars. It was in consequence of the disgust inspired by this shameless treason to those who had been hitherto their most devoted supporters that the ex-Ministers found themselves at last, after nearly six years barren tenure of cffice, thrust out of place, pension, and prerogative, and compelled to make room for more worthy successors to the pomps and respon sibilities of Administration. Under this aspect of af fairs, the DERBY Ministry was inaugurated—and in pursuance of the astonishing and inexplicable system of politics to which we have before alluded, the mem bers of that Conservative Cabinet have no sooner found themselves fairly organized into a regular Government than they reveal their readiness to forward, one after another in rapid succession, a series of liberal and comprehensive innovations. Having virtually placed themselves at the outset of their administrative efforts in accord with the groat mass of the Free-traders con stituting the majority of the inhabitants of Great Britain, the DERBY Ministers have already frankly intimated their willingness to carry a variety of re markable reforms through Parliament. They have declared themselves in favour of reforms in regard to national education, of reforms in regard to sani tary improvements, of reforms in regard to the better equalization of the taxes, of reforms in regard to the abuses of Chancery, in regard to those of the Ecclesi astical Courts, and in regard to the evils militating against the existing system of colonial and financial organization. Scarcely half a year has :elapsed since their names were gazetted in February, and they have already contrived to break down some of the venerable and destructive mechanism of the Court of Chancery—to secure a new and more effective Extramural Interments Bill to the metro- polis—to prepare an extended scheme of militia, whereby these islands might be leas perilously placed in the event of any invasion—to direct the commercial energies of the nation into the fruitful, but hitherto almost unpenetrated, regions of South America—to adopt active measures for the encouragement of those fisheries in the Atlantic which had hitherto been abandoned to the most shameful and uninterrupted depredations—and to bring about a variety of changes in other and not less scattered directions, auguring well for the liberality of tha character of their projected but still unannounced policy ! And so the chrysalis of a Tory Cabinet expands into the full-blown buttezily of a reforming and enlightened Administration ! It is well. The country still as ever awards its confidence to the Men, according to the satisfaction inspired by the nature of the Measures. And thus the jealousy with which the Earl of DEBBY and his colleagues were not unnaturally regarded in February is al- ready giving way in October to eager and, in some directions, confiding expectation. It was remarked by LIVT, after all the malignant aspersions that had been indulged in upon the same subject by preceding annalists, that ALEXANDER, in his Asiatic expedition, did nothing more than per servere in his noble and well-conceived enterprise, despite of idle remonstrances—" Nil aliud guam bene ausus vana contemnere!" Let the PRIME MINISTER SO act that the future historian may speak in like terms of his enterprise—an enterprise not of spoliation, but of good government—and his advent to power will be remembered not as a curse, but as a blessing, not as a barrier in the path of the national progress, but as an appreciable impulse to the great onward move ment of civilization. Whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well. So in peace, so in war. But the utterly absurd and traditional rules of military etiquette interfere, in the present Burmese war, with the fulfilment of this eminently sensible aphorism. General GODWIN, chief in command of the Anglo-Indian forces, ap. pears, at this moment, to be the chief impediment to the almost immediate and successful termination of the contest. .He, it must be stated, was placed first in command, not from any very super-eminent merit, but simply because be happened to be the oldest General in India at the time when the war commenced. Seniority—which, in such case, should often be written senility—seems to have been his principal, if not his only claim, to the chief oommand in this in. stance. It reminds one of the Irish adventurer, who boasted that, of eleven sisters, he had been favoured with the hand of the oldest, and, be added, "her father told me that if he had an older daughter, I should have had bar." General GonwlN was the senior officer, and therefore, though very far advanced in years and hitherto quite unknown to fame, he was put at the head of the military expedition against the Burmese empire. As hesitation and delay are the characteristics of Old Age, nobody was surprised--nobody could be surprised at the manner in which the Burmese war has been carried on. With the aid of steam, which we did not employ in the former successful contest, there was every reason to expect and hope that the expedition would have accomplished its objeot almost b y a coup•de•main. So, had NAPIER com man d e d , would undoubtedly have been the immediate result. General GODWIN had some successes at starting, and then it seemed good to him to wait for further rein forcements. Some heavy blows were struck at the power of the Burmese ruler, yet none of them were followed up. Like Fear, retreating Even at the sound himself bad made," the aged and " Galladt" Geocral appears to have made it a point, as if alarmed at each success, to hold back and commit the inapolicy of waiting. On the Peninsula, where WELLINGTON's small army had to resist the attack of NAPOLEOIfB numerous and expe rienced soldiers, a Fabian policy was the ultimate means of victory. In the East, on the contrary, delay is impolicy, because it is our proper game to encourage the popular belief in the prestige of - British arms; to extend the belief that we have only, like CXSAR, to come, and see, and conquer. When India sees us so long over the defeat of the Burmese, it must (and it will) believe that we paused because we lacked the meana and the ability to conquer at once. Naturally dissatisfied with the delay—for the con• test, instead of being over in a few weeks, has already lasted mane months—the Marquis of DALROU9LF, Governor-General of India, actually went to the seat of war to spur on the slow and dilatory General. His opinion, as we shall presently show, was against the wait-a-while polioy (or impolicy) of General GODWIN. The commander commanding the naval forces dis patched a flotilla of five light steamers, commanded by Captain TARLETON, to survey the river Irrawaddy as far as the city of Prome (which is half-way to Ave, the terminus of the campaign), and to ascer tain the position and proceedings , of the enemy. " General GODWIN," continues the dispatch, " appears to have been opposed to the proceeding." The Friend of India remarks on the want of cor diality and co-operation between the naval and mili tary commanders, and says that, therefore, the com modore was " obliged to undertake this enterprise, not only without any co-operation, but amid much disapprobation." But what was the result ?—Cap tain TARLETON advanced to A-kouk-toung, the point where the Burmese force for the defence of Promo was posted (originally 40,000 men, with 35 heavy guns, commanding the channel, which is there 400 or 500 yards wide),—slipped past this dangerous posi tion, through a channel pointed out by a friendly native (the bulk of the natives are friendly), went on to Prome, and there captured 23 pieces of ordnance, and might uninterruptedly have gone on to Ave, — returned to A-kouk-toung, when he found the Burmese army confusedly advancing to the rescue of Prome,—ciptured and destroyed between 40 end 50 boats containing warlike stores, — landed at the abandoned works of A-kouk-tong, and there captured 28 dismounted cannons, making 56 guns taken on the expedition. He had been ex pressly forbidden to ascend to Ava—a place then utterly defenceless, and the capital of the empire ! The Commodore (and the result shows that he was right) had guaranteed to land 5,000 men at Prome, within five days, " but it is understood that General Gonwm was desirous of an undivided triumph, and that he considered the advance should be made en- tirely by lend, and declined the responsibility of moving forward until the dry weather bad set in, and the force under his command had been trebled." And so, that this old man may have "an undivided tri umph," 20,000 troop., with artillery, are to march overland from Rangoon b Ava, a distance of 500 miles at least, which will occupy some week•, proba bly leaving a third of this force on the way (whereas the steamers could easily convey them in a few days, without the slightest interruption from the enemy), and must await dry weather and triple increase in numbers. The Governor- General is stated to have adopted the tro-ahead views of the Commodore (so well borne out by the success of Captain TARLETON'S expedition) in preference to the wait-awhile policy of the aged General. The question is, what will he do ? Lo r d DALetouFte is said to have esked for the immediate occupation cf Prome ; General GODWIN to have declined being responsible for any movement until December. It appears doubtful which will be determined on—advance or delay. It might be thought that Lord DALHOUSIE, as Governor-General, should be able to carey on the war as he pleases, but he actually cannot supersede the aged commander whom he appointed, with whose conduct be has reason to be dissatisfied—the Government at home, it seems, alone can do this. ./A 11 the accounts from India are unanimous in the opinion that the troops now on the spot are sufficient fur the conquest of Burma), provided the dash be made at once. We trust, if victory is to crown our arms in the East, that the great obstacle—the aged GODWIN--May forthwith be put upon the shelf. The conquests of NAPOLEON were achieved by young leaders, taken, for merit, out of the line of . seniority. When he himself was appointed General of the Army of Italy, at the age of six-and-twenty, and one of the Directory commented on his youth, the reply was, " In six months I shall be a dead man or an old general." Even in the case of our own WELLINGTON, had seniority alone been the rule, he would not have commanded in India, over the heads of senior officers, nor have been trusted to lead the army of the Peninsula. Where seniority forms the chief, if not the only qualification, it ought to be set aside, and command entrusted to more vigorous, more youthful, and more determined men. Is it likely that a General of the NAPIER or HARDINGE stamp would have determined, after a first defeat of the enemy, to wait calmly for four or five months (from August to December), in order to obtain " an undivided triumph" by means of an accession of military force, declining the naval aid actually available on the spot ? The original error (pointed out at the time) was the appointment of such an old man as General GODWIN, simply because he was old, and had served in the former Burmese war. The way to correct that error is to renal him, and place the command in the hands of a soldier better fitted, by years and temperament, to lead our troops to im mediate contest and triumph. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The Government has received the following tele graphic dispatches :-- " Montpellier, Oct. 1, Half-past Two P.M. " The Prince arrived at the terminus at hr.ll-past twelve. He was received amidst cries, a thou sand times repeated, of " Viva l'Enpereur !" The crowd was immense on his passage, and the people were animated with an indescribable enthusiasm. From the railway the Prince went to the cathedral, where he was recaived by the Bishop, at the head of his clergy. The Prince has just entered th© prefecture, where a bouquet end grapes were offered to him amidst cries of Vivo l'Empereurr by a group of young girls dresacd in white." " Four P.M. " The Princ© has just been present at the siege of the citadel. Ho was recei►ed, as in the morning, with unanimous cries of Vivo I'Empereur!' The filing off cf the communes is beginning at the Peyrou." " Oct. 2, Six A.M. " The Prince, after the dinner at the Prefecture, went to the ball at the theatre, where his Highness was greeted with enthusiasm. He went round the bsll rocm saluted by the persons present with a thousand cries of Vive l'Empereurr " Nine in the Morning. 'The Prince has just - quitted Montpellier to proceed Narbonne. The same enthusiasm which hailed him yesterday accompanied him during his stay. One cry alone was raised, namely, that of Vive l'Empereurr The health of the Prince is excellent." " Pazenas, 2d, Two in the Afternoon. " To-day throughout the whole line from Montpellier to Phenas, where the Prince arrived Qt a quarter past twelve, the enthusiasm amounted to frenzy. On all sides he was hailed with cries a thousand times repeated of Vive l'Empereur I" Vire Napoltian III!' Not another cry was heard." Beziers. 2a, Quarter-past Three in the Afternoon. " The rrince entered Eeziere amidst the loudest ac clamations. His Highness alighted and passed along the front of the rural populations of Bezters and of Saint-Pons. The enthusiasm never relaxed. The cry of " Vive l'Empereur 1" was raised by 40,000 voices. The Prince has just started for Narbonne in excellent health." " Narbonne, 2d, Ten at Night. "His Highness has just entered Narbonne; the same acclamations, which have greeted him during all his tour, accompany him with the same enthusiasm. It is with cries of Vive Napoleon 111 !" Vivo l'Empereur! ' that an immense people hail him on his passage. On the inhabitants of the communes marching past him the enthusiasm was at its height. " Half-past Ten at Night. " The Prince has just left the ball. Both at his en trance and on his leaving he was hailed with the loudest a ppl a use. A shower of bouquets inundated his High ness, who appeared much touched by this mani festation." " 3d, Half.past Ten in the Morning. The Prince has just beard mass at the Cathedral, which was filled with an immense crowd. The most lively acclamatio ns are renewed; every heart and every arm is raised towards the Prince at the present moment, when he is leaving for Carcassonne." The PRESIDENT has conferred the Cross of Com mander of the Legion of Honour on the Roman and Neapolitan Envoys, Monseigneur DE SAN MAnzANo and General ROBERTI. He has also decorated with the Cross of Officer of the Legion of Honour the Spanish aide. de-camp who had been sent to compli ment him at Marseilles. With regard to the tragical event which has oc curred in Paris, depriving one literary gentleman of life by the hand of a brother journalist, we extract the following from the Morning Advertiser of to-day. Mr. BOWER is known to be the Paris correspondent of that journal, and an account of the sad affair has been supplied by himself for the private information of the editor of the Morning Advertiser:— " Let us commence by remarking that we have every faith in the truthfulness of the statements ot Mr. Bower, so f ar as the facts of the ease are ecncerned. With regard to particular uiretrefnrocems certain‘l.hich tfbacetst: n th h a a t " ins gentleman on % I.c 'h a i y ch b w ay : c d, :n d express no opir.ion. Mrs. Bower, in her delirium —which was so violent as to threaten to terminate fatally every hear for sev er al d ays — ex . expressed so vehement a wish to see Mr. Morton, that the physicians advised Mr. Bawer, whatever his private feelings might be on the subject, to allow her to have bet' own way, thinidng that Mr. M.'s presence might have the effect of aibduing the extreme violent) of her manner. Mr. Bower, under the circumstances, ens quiesced in the wishes of the physicians, and Mr. Morton came to his hotse, entered the rpatteneut of Mrs. 8., and remained by ter betide, with a few brief intervals, several days aid nights; Mrs. Bower being, let it not be forgotten, all this time in a state of dreadful de lirium, would 7cceive no attentions nor nursing from any one but Mr. Morten, except in occasional in tervals, when she became somewhat more calm. During one of the brief periods of Mr. Morton's absence, Mrs. Bower stated that her last child, born four weeks previously, was not Mr. Bower's, hut Mr. Morton's. On Mr. B. remarking that he ascribed the statement to tie illness under which she was laboaring, and did not Waco any faith in it, Mrs. Bower reiterated the assertion vith increased emphasis, and said that, as a dying woman, it was true. Mr. Bower observed that, if he could lelieve it, either Mr. Morton or himself should, in less than an hour, boa deed man. She again energetically belated that the child was Mr. Morton's, not Mr. Bower's, and appealed to the housemaid who happened to be present, whether it was not true, that Mr. Morton had slept in the house severel nights dating Mr. Bower's absence from Paris, about nine months Frevioasly. The housemaid said that such was the fact. Mr. Bower then retired into the dining-room, where arrangements' had been made for a hurried meal, when, uefortunately, while Mr. Bower's brain, according to his own statement to us, was mad- dened by what he had heard, Mr. Morton entered the room. Mr. Bower immediately pat the question to him, whether fee horrible averment of his wife was true. Mr. Morton made no reply—neither admitted nor denied the grave charge which the question implied, but that instant rushed out of the room. Mr. Bower, on the im putt° of the moment, snatched up a knife which was tying on the table, and rushed after Mr. Morton, over taking him, as No had reached the fourth or fifth stair, and making a deep wound in the neck, which cut the jugular vein. Mr. Morton fell tilt:A instant, and never spoke a word, or even uttered a groan. Mr. Bower, acting en the advice of a relative who was in the house at the time, hurriedly put on an overcoat which was lying beside him, and, through the aid of a female ser vant, escaped by a back passage. " Such are the correct details of this most horrible effAr. Mr. Bower and Mr. Merton had long been on terms of the closest intimacy, and, being engaged in the .cane pursuits, mutually assisted each other. " With regard to Mrs. Bower, whose unhappy con eliedon every ono roust deeply deplore, it is right we ' should este that she is a lady of Exceedingly amiable manners, as well as of great accomplishments, while her demeanour in society hes alaays eccerded wiih the ft/. l i G o n s lo e tbhe w e hpeoaoymhsa2tvioLl‘bi, nt which the her. t u hw e: e d ieridsi aclol most rigid views of female propriety, in the estimation r. y rre e s c p v o e n u El n ent H o e f tho " is a man of great and varied powers rts a writer. His information is extensive, and his style has always been characterised by a vivacity, a pungency, and a raciness, nhi ch have seldom been equalled. Be is, too, a man of high moral courage, as ho has ample attested by the bold and tudiinching manner in which - he hiss braved the Government of France, notwithstanding the threats of immediate expulsion from that country which have for some time past been hanging over his head. We hove much pleasure in adding, that ho moat readily and heartily entered into ell our views, as to the course which we have on various occasions instructed him to take. He was for a long time on terms of personal inti macy with Louis Napoleon, and was a frequent guest at the Ely: 4:; but in his zeal to act up to the wishes of the editor of this journal, he became, after the events of December, one of the most decided and most formidable foes of the President. "A, man so devoted in his attachment to the establihh ment with which he was connected, and who discharged the duties which devolved upon him with en unflinching, tearles, and surpassing talent, wail deserves the tribute which we have paid to his serviccrt. Most deeply do we deplore the fearful catastrophe which has occurred, and very sincerely do we sympathise willa him is the dis tressing position in which he is phcod," Tho price of Public Securities was well main tained ac the Bourse, Without any remarkable varia tions.

In Vienna a grand military LI mourning ceremony" took place on the 30th in honour of the lrie Duke of WELLINGTON, as Austrian Field-Marshal ind Grand Cross of the Order of Maria Theresa. The whole of the garrison was drawn up in full parade on the glacis in presence of the EMPEROR and a brilliant staff of general officers. Net only did the officers wear the usual stripe of black crape on the Taft arm, but even the flags end standards were hung with crape. 'rho EMPEROR has issued orders that the same ceremony shall be observed in every place in the Empire where there is a large garrison. DENMARK. We learn from Copenhagen, under date of the 29th—Last Monday great disturbances took place at two public tea-gardens between the persons who fre quented them and some Holstein soldiers. It ended with a regular fight, in which more than 200 soldiers took part. A police officer and three civilians were so severely wounded that they were taken to the hospital. A court-martial has been appointed to in quire into the case, and find out who was guilty, The sub-corporals and privates of the 16th and 17th battalion of Infantry, and sth Rifle Brigade (all Holsteiners), have been consigned to their barracks ; none are permitted to go out after six o'clock in the evening. They are likewise prohibited from wearing their arms when not on duty. A permanent officer's guard has been established in Solvgasseu barracks. A Royal resolution has commuted the court-mar tial's sentence of death upon Colonel Scnozz and Major WASMAIL—in the case of SCHUTZ to imprison ment for life and hard labour in the House of Correc tion ; and in the case of Major WAssaAn, who was not in active service in 1848, to incarceration for life in the state prison. GREECE. We have accounts from Athens dated the 16th ult. The Chamber of Deputies were still enjoying their holidays; all their work is finished, and they were merely waiting its ratifiz:ction by the Senate. The Deputies receive their pay as long as the session lasts, even if they are doing nothing ; and the senators are not anxious to hurry themselves, for they receive no pay during the recess. Meanwhile the treasury is empty, the ;military are paid with difficulty and by having recourse to a hundred bye means, and the civil authorities have not yet received their stipends for July. The prospects for the present year are not very bright. Two projects of law, which the Minister of War intends bringing before the Chambers, have occa sioned a good deal of dissatisfaction among the troops, especially among the Phalangarians. The one law gives the Government the right to assign to every Phalangarian and every officer net in active service his place of abode, frcm which ho is not at liberty to withdraw himself. A power like this placed in the hands of a Minister whose actions are frequently the offspring of his passions is a dreadful scourge in the eyes of the officers who have hitherto been allowed to select their own place of residence. The officer not on active service generally alarm*, hiu abode tither wbere he had relations or some little pro perty, or where he might live cheaply. Now, how ever, he is to be torn away from all these advantages, which alone enabled him to subsist upon his exceed ingly small pay, and to be sent to the other end of the kingdom at the arbitrary will and pleasure of a Minster of War. The other project of law relates to the wearing of the uniform when not in active service. As since the introduction of the constitution every Minister of War used to make a regular trade in the disposal of military preferments, it appears to be considered ne cessary now to make up for this. To this end the wearing of the uniform is prohibited to all officers not on active service. This measure chiefly affects the phalanx officers, who will now be compelled to purchase their own clothes. Whoever is acquainted with the position of these poor champions for liberty knows that the purchase of a suit of clothes is of vital importance to them. Among the projects of law preparing by the Mi nister of the Home Department is a pension -law for the widows and orphans of civilians. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE ASSOCIATION.—We re cently announced that an Association was in process of for mation, under the above designation, for the purpose of placing the administration of her Majesty's Theatre on a stable and satisfactory financial footing, and of maintaining and extending the high reputation which it deservedly achieved under the able and enterprising management of Mr. Lumley. The ready response which the proposals of the Association have received affords proof that its projectors have not miscalculated the public feeling on the subiect, and that the scheme detailed in their prospectus is regarded with approval in a commercial no less than in an artistic point of view. A large amount of busienss, we are told, is daily transacted in the shares of the company; and there can be no doubt that the originators of the Association will obtain ail the support and co-operation which are necessary to en able them to give the fullest effect to their enterprise. The Renown has errived from Port Phillip, whence she sailed the 7th of June, with 14,800 oz. of gold, valued at 59,2001. The Aden also has arrived from Laun ceston, Van Diemen's Land s bringing some gold, the exact amount of which is not known. The quantity received by the Blundell, reported on the 30th ult., proves to be oz , valued at 32X01.

The snl's of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday wen esti mated at 15,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were taken for export, 2,500 American and 1,500 Egyptian on speculation. The market closed with an upward tendency, Lnd prices of ell kinds were a shade against the buyerL , . The sales cc;raprised 11,000 Ametican, 500 Pernam and Maranktra at tild. to 74d., 250 Bahia at 6id. to 7d., 2,000 Egyptian, 1,200 Surat at 3d. to 41d., and 30 Sea Island at Is. 9d. to 2s. per lb.—Railway Shares were heavy at lower quotations. The suspension of Messrs. Walter Logan and Co. for 60,0001. to 70,0004 excites much regret, arising as it does from the proceedings of a partner at Lima, and it is hoped they will be enabled to make arrangements for a settlement, by having time afforded. The amount of gold by the ships Blundell and Renown from Australia is 22,817 ouncs. About sixteen miles from GoulbuTn, on the laver aloch Eitate, New South Wales, a gold field has been discovered, the spechnens from which are elongated, similar to fine wire slightly flattened, from an eighth to a quarter of an inch long, but as yet its remunera tive properties are not developed. It is also rumoured, that a tributary stream to the Little River, is yielding gold is sufficient quantities to pay for work ing, in consequence of which a number of parties have had claims measured off, and are about to COMME , IICO operations. On Bell's Flat many are doing extremely well, and some of the claims seem almost inexhaustible, yielding from twenty to fifty ounces per day; the dry diggings in this neighbourhood are also proving profitable, and even some parts of the creek are being worked a second time with great success. The Swedish loan, announced late yesterday after noon, excites very little attention, because being of such a small amount, it is readily understood that it wilt be absorbed by the contractors, Palmer, M'Killop, and Co., and their immediate friends. The amount is 450,0001. in a Four pr Cent. Stock, to bo issued at 93 2 and with an instalment of 13 per cent. on allotment. This loan is not of itself important, but if we have many editions of such, we shall speedily attain to an aggre gate that will be something considerable, and beyond what is at all desirable. Upon principle we dislike foreign loans, except for special purposes, such as the promotion of industrial undertakings; and we may be sure that the extravagance of Governments is promoted thereby. We believe this w ill not be the last loan for Continental States that we shall have to notice ere long; and several guaranteed railwey schemes are promised, some of a very tempting and solid character, and under contracts given to our leading contractors. Look ing to what has already been done in this respect, and what is yet to come, we antici pate rather a quick absorption of a good portion of the amounts received from Australia. We must bear in mind, however, that there will permanently and periodi cally bo a return of interest upon these loans and com panies that will keep the exchanges in our favour, and act as a counterpoise to the supplies of grain which, there is no longer any doubt, we shall have to draw to at least the ordinary extent from abroad. The exten sive sale of our goods this " fall" in the United States is likewise an encoureging, circumstance, as it will cover the advance in cotton and secure us, in all probability, a good amount of Californian gold besides.
