Above seems, indeed, to be in! , eparabl e from distinction. Whenever great things are achieved, contumely appears to be the necessary coccomitant of their achievement. Is the maiden work of a new adventurer in letters published—a work replete with evidences of genius and originality —the author is at once accused either of plagiarism or o f a ffectation ! D oes a patriot rise in the House o f Legislat ure to advocate measures of national advancement or of popular ameliora tion—he i s forthwith charged with a shameless ;/AlpicAr:pg after place and emolument? Are 1 4dtakes i dtatain e d those of a naval or military A titieror —he is summarily attacked, by suc h as OL - pen to be jealou s of his reputation, eith er f or I N .t e ' 414, , g acted with u ndue len iency or for having 91 11 16 Z l ? , t-viailtonl7 sacrificed life in order to secure the benefits At .ct Az, THE SUN of victory. No rank, no creed, no class, no caste, no profession is free from the evils of liability to this despicable and audacious species of misrepresentation . The truth has, in fact, been celebrated in a memorable couplet, in which the poet nobly vindicates the aspersed, on the plea that virtues are evidenced by the very circumstance of their aspersion : "Envy doth Merit as its shade pursue, And like the Shadow proves the Substance true." A melancholy but at the same time ridiculous illus tration of this has recently been afforded in reference to one of the distinguished family of the NAPIER 3. Perhaps among all the eminent houses in the United Kingdom, who are our contemporaries, the house of NAPIER has acquired a right to the general respect of the community by the services which so many of its members have at various times and in different ways rendered to the country. With equal ability the NArrims have when occasion required wielded both the sword and the pen. Their achievements by land and by water, on the field and in the cabinet, are alike matters of renown to the population. To enumerate them would be super fluous if our so doing were not open even to the charge of impertinence. Within the last few days the public has seen a representative of another branch of the same family elevated in a different profession to one of the highest legal offices in the command of the Crown—namely, to the Solicitor -Generalship of Ireland. But the distinction attained by the NAPIERS is not an occurrence of yesterday. The people of Eng land no more need to be reminded how General Sir CHARLES NAPIER conquered the gigantic province of Scinde by the glorious victories of Meanee and Hyderabad, than they require to be informed that the ' Duke of WELLINGTON was in command of the Eng- Hall forces at the battle of Waterloo. They no more need to be reminded how Admiral Sir CHARLES NAPIER brought the Egyptian forces in Syria under subjection by following up the seizure of places like Beyrout and Sidon by the capture, ma the ad of November, 1840, of the redoubtable fortress of St. Jean d'Acre. These events have been long since inscribed in imperishable characters on the pages of history, and—not least memorable or least admirable circumstance among them all—one of the NAPIERS, Lieutenant- General Sir WILLIAM NAPIER, the distinguished brother of the conqueror and ad ministrator of Scinde, has the glory of being one of the most eminent, if he be not, indeed, the most eminent amongst the whole range of our military annalists. Yet it is against these illustrious benefac tors of the nation that we see the most frequent slanders and vituperations directed. Everyone at all acquainted with the record of our arms in India has long since been familiar with the charges levelled at the victor of Hyderabad by Colonel OUTRAM. Since then another lamentable discussion of a like nature has been provoked by Major JACOB. Satisfied as we are that both the course pursued by Major JAcoB and the course pursued by Colonel OUTRAM are already regarded by the public with similar feelings of dis trust and indignation, it is not with them that we have to deal in the present instance, our intention being simply to direct the attention of our readers to a letter published elsewhere in our impression of this evening, a letter received by BF, together with a copy of the Overland Bombay Times, dated from the 3d to the 16th of January. As our correspondent observes in i his communication to ourselves, there appears in the columns of that journal a singularly scurrilous attack both upon the veracity and the valour (proh pudor .9 of Sir WILLIAM NAPIER, the historian. The document which appears to have elicited this indecent abuse of a most distinguished officer, being a letter to the editor of the Bom bay Gazette, is, it must be admitted, so remarkable for its scorn and contempt of those who had repaid benefits received both from the writer himself (Sir Wineiess) and his brother (Sir CHARLES) with the most despicable and shameless ingratitude, that it is but natural that all parties im plicated in those transactions should wince under the severity of that most pitiless castigation. Sir WILLIAM NAPIER thus closes his letter (dated Dec. sth, 1851)) to the Bombay Gazette. Major JACOBS, he eays, " was receiving favours and benefits from Sir C. Narigu, with both hands ; but when his own baseness [ intercepted those advantages, he closed his open, itching palm, to clutch an abusive pen—knowing, lam convinced, what is for me but too widely known, that a most painful distemper has for two years nearly de prived me of the use of limbs, which neither my rank nor my age would otherwise have prevented me from using to chastise Major JACOB?, as a misbehaving cur is chastised in the streets." Thereupon, smarting under the influence of those stinging words, the Bombay Times indulges in that language of contumely and vituperation alluded to by our c orrespondent. Let it be especially noticed that the braggadociose assertion of Sir WILLIAM NAPIER'S assailant is in that commu nication formally contradicted, the writer from Guernsey avowing th a t the person mentioned was at the very time to which he makes such vaunting re ference sufficiently far removed to be out of the reach of both boot and broomstick. It is in this contemp tible manner that public benefactors like Sir WIL LIAM and Sir Caeatees NAPIER are assailed, their assailants getting so effectually out of their clutches as to be enabled with impunity to charge the injured party with cowardice because incapable of personally in flicting chastisement. Away with this miserable system of most mean and odious misrepresentation. A Nerime can afford to regard with indifference an accu sation which some silly maniacs have even dared to enter against the Emperor NAPOLEON 1 Besides, both the Conqueror of Scinde and the Historian of the Peninsula must submit to the penalty of their fame, aware, as they must be, that celebrity is the certain provocative of vituperation. The honest, independent men of Manchester—the Fiscal, Financial, and Parliamentary Reformers of the metropolis of the manufacturing districts, have shown themselves to be fully alive to the exigencies of the moment. There is but little danger of surprise while we have such faithful guardians, such vigilan incorruptible sentinels. The accession to power o the new Administration has naturally alarmed those who took so active a part in carrying the glorious doctrines of free trade into ope ration, lest there might be any attempt to retrieve the position that had been at tained by almost unparalleled exertions, to re-open the question, which it was fondly hoped had been for ever set at rest. The very name of the party from whom the new Ministry have been exclusively selected was quite sufficient to excite the energies of the op ponents of the iniquitous corn-law?, and it was essential that an early demonstration should be made of the unflinching determination of those who ob tained the repeal of the infamous bread-tax, to com bat a Coutrance, to proclaim " war to the knife," rather than consent to its re-imposition. _ Although we do not believe that the Earl of Dalin; or Mr. DISRAELI will venture to propose a : ha duty,y renewal of the obnoxious impost either in the of " sliding scale" or a fixed or that it will justified under the insidious form of a merely the MO:a alltrperdog proposition r revenue and manl p y u rp a o v s o e w s, al or of in s restoration o f p that so decide-rotection, we are yet rejoiced men t has taken and unequivocal a move place. The truth of the ancient apophthegm „ st vie pacem Para has never been controverted denied, and t h e re is no better way of or preventing the introduction of this topic than the observance of what may be correctly termed "an armed n l eutra ity, by a powerful and influential party, ready to proceed to extremities whenever the fitting occasion may arrive. If the question is to be introduced, it will not be under false pretences. Although opposed to the party on public ground?, we have a higher • • Opinion of the honour of its leaders in both branches of th e Legislature, than to suppose for a moment that they, or any of them, would have recourse to so disgraceful a manoeuvre, and one so very easily detected. In deed, the new PRIME MuiisTE set that point at rest by his speech at the very commencement of the ses sion, when he demanded " what WAS the point where a duty ceased to be a duty for the purpose of revenue and became one of protection ?" adding that he himself 4 , was quite at a loss to know how a distinc tion could he drawn between the two, his opinion being that any duty to be imposed either for the pur pose of revenue or of protection, must, to a certain extent, act as a protective duty, and that the amount of protection to be afforded was to be measured only by the 4 1 40111 A of duty LONDON, The principle was the same—the detail might be dif ferent." It is impossible, then, after such a speech, that any follower of the Noble Earl should attempt the petty and paltry quibble, and more especially are we convinced that the new CHANCELLOR of the Ex- CHEQUER, and Leader of the House of Commons, is not the man who, under any circumstances, even if urged by the head of his party, would consent to introduce the topic on a basis so utterly un tenable. No, the contest, if it should arise, will be conducted on fair and straight forward terms, such as may be expected from con _ _ scientious and highminded belligerents. But will it take place ? Is the conflict inevitable ? By no means. If the Free-traders be true to them selves—if they follow the laudable example of their friends and collaborateure at Manchester, and exhibit unequivocal and irresistible evidence of their un flinching resolution, the question will never be brought forward. Both Lord DERBY and Mr. DISRAELI have repeatedly declared that with the present House of Commons it was hopeless to moot the topic, and the now PREMIER added to the effect — we do not profess to quote his words—that if the country did not at the next general election unequivocally declare in fa vour of protection, the subject should be finally dropped. We may, therefore, notwithstanding the vauntings of some of our Protectionist contemporaries, express our thorough conviction that until after the dissolution the subject will not even be brought under the notice of Parliament. The battle will then have to be fought at the hustings, and it is there that the point in issue must be decided, " whether the English people are deserving of the inestimable benefits they have obtained, or whether they are prepared to sell their birthrights for the sums that may be obtained from interested parties for their venal suffrages." So long as the questions of " protection" and the re-imposition of taxes on human food remain in abeyance, we are by no means indisposed to afford a fair trial to the present Government. We freely confess that we greatly prefer Sir EDWARD SUODEN to Lord TRURO ; that there can be no comparison between Mr. DISRAELI and Sir CHARLES WOOD ; and that even the respectable mediocrity—or, to go to the utmost extent that has been asserted, the " incapa city" of Sir Joust PALINGTON, is far better than the meddling arrogance of the Earl GREY. We would bear a great deal in order' to get rid of the family party who have hitherto monopo lised the most important offices of the State, to the lexclusion of better men. Thank GOD we shall no longer have the impenetrable, thick-skulled stupidity of Sir CHARLIs WOOD to con ' tend with. Nor can we expect the stereo typed answer from his really talented successor to every appeal to justice or expediency, that " the impost produced so many thousands per annum, which he was not prepared to relinquish." We now look forward to a more equitable apportionment of the income-tax, the removal of some at least of the taxes on knowledge, and to the abatement of some of the most flagrant fiscal grievances. Should any ob noxious measure be introduced we must resist it to the utmost, but let us not reject at the hands of the Tories the bona fine boons which we could not hope for from the Whigs, at least so long as the GREY clique remained in office. The contest will, however, take place at the hustings, and there will the question be decided. The Ministers will unquestionably have an advantage in some respects, but under any circumstances they cannot control the will of the people, clearly and dis tinctly expressed. The veteran chairman of the Anti-Corn-law League has placed this matter in so clear a point of view that we cannot refrain from quoting his very words : " If," said GEORGE WILSON, " they went3to an election the Protectionists would poll thirty-three boroughs, returning sixty-six Members to Parlia ment, every one of which posiesses as much political influence as the borough of Manchester did, though their constituencies undoubtedly were scarcely equal to that of Manchester. He knew that in these bo roughs they would have coercion, intimidation, bri bery, corruption, and all those influences the landed aristocracy could wield at pleasure, and which had for centuries made aristocratic Governments a thing for pleasure and for profit, rather than for the pub lic good. He knew when they (the Free-traders) had polled the whole of the constituencies with above 1 10,000 electors, they would only send some 20 Members to Parliament. But he also knew this, that if they (the Protectionists) obtained a majority twice as great as they did before, and which repealed the corn-laws, that majority would be impotent, if the people of the manufacturing districts are prepared to say to my Lord DERBY, Better the condition of the agriculturists if you can—do what you can to improve their condition, so that it is not at our ex pense—but the moment you put one penny of duty upon the bread of the poor man, look to yourself, Lord DERBY, and your order—for this question has been settled once, and beware how you and your order provoke the discussion of a question again which will involve in itself the disposition of many things not to the interest of either yourself or your order." There will be coercion, intimidation, bribery, and all those influences to which the aristocracy or money ocracy can resort at pleasure ; but if the people be true to themselves, the change in the nomination boroughs can produce no real result, nor subdue the voice of public opinion. We cordially concur in the resolution finally adopted, viz., " That the gentlemen who formed the Executive Council of the late Anti-Corn-law League be requested to watch the proceedings of the new Administration, and should the necessity arise, to call together the parties who formed the General Council of the League, and that this meeting stands adjourned to Tuesday next." It is this "armed neutrality" that we have recommended, an observance of the most unceasing vigilance, but acting purely on the defensive—not making any attack until they are themselves first assailed. and THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Constitutionncl contains an elaborate article, from the pen of M. GRANTER DE CASSAGNAC, lauda tory of the new state of things in France. lie dwells on the great internal improvements in railway inter communication effected by the PRESIDENT since the 2d of December, and mentions other facts, all tending to indicate Louis NAPOLEON'S desire for peace as the only means of developing the resources of the country, augmenting its prosperity, and ameliorating the condition of the population, instead of those ideas of military conquest and aggression with which foreign journalists delight to represent him as solely animated. The Pays has the following on our new Protec tionist Ministry : " Whau we see the Tories return to power it is diffi cult not to call to mind that for a long time they were the very soul of all the dangers which threatened the peace of Europe, and particularly of all the combinations which were menacing for France ! It is difficult to avoid remembering Pitt, Lord Castlereagh, Lord Wellington, and that Tory Pleiades, which struggled against us with such fatal obstinacy. God forbid that we should wish to revive old animosities, the slightest sparks of which, if still alight, we would rather extinguish. God forbid that we should think that the English Cabinet would wish to provoke fresh embarrassments abroad, and com promise, without very serious motives, the peace of the world! Bat the presence of Lord Stanley in power is the principle of a certain mistrust, which it is almost impossible to completely get rid of, and which will re quire the greatest prudence on the part of the Prime Minister of England to prevent its degenerating into a cc:millet." The Prefect of the Seine has addressed a procla mation to the electors of his department, recommend ing their support of the Government candidates, nsmely.-MM.

Id. to Is. 61d. per lb.-In Railway Shares a good business was done at higher prices. The six weeks' average price of Wheat is 40s. Bd. per quarter, and the last week's sales were 85,270 quarters. The Indigo sales have concluded, and as they pro ceeded, several large parcels having been withdrawn, the biddings became more animated, and a large quantity sold at about the moderate rates of last sale. especially the consuming qualities, which, in some instances, sold at fully October rates. The following are the general quotations as compared with last October:- Bengal, good and fine shipping 3d. to 4d.lower ordinary and defective 2d. /I ~ good and fine consuming low and ordinary par to 2 d. „ Dudes ' par to 3d. „ Kurpah, fine 2d. dearer low Mt:dras, low par to 3d. „ fine par to 3d. dearer Bengal figs, all sold.

A statement of the revenue of Java and Madeira during the eleven months of 1851 gives the amount at 5,996,157 francs, or 1,341,310 francs more than in 1849, and 1,354,182 francs above the income of 1850. In the now treaty between England and the Republic of New Granada for suppressing the slave trade, the following are designated as the limits within which the merchant vessels of the two nations shall be subject to the right of search:- " st. From the thirty - fift h degree of west longitude, reckoned from the meridian of London to the coast of Africa, and from the fifteenth degree of north latitude to the twentieth degree of south latitude. " 2d. All round the island of Madagascar, to the ex tent of thirty leagues from that island. " 3d. All along the east coast of Africa, from latitude ten degrees north of the equator, to the twenty-sixth degree of south latitude, and to the extent of thirty leagues from that coast. " 4th. The same distance all round from the coasts of the island of Cuba. " sth. The same distance from the coasts of the island of Puerto Rico; and " 6th. The same distance from the coast of Brazil. " All the slaves who are found on board a merchant vessel detained either by British or Grenadian cruizers, in conformity with the stipulations of this treaty, shall be placed at the disposal of her Britannia Majesty's Government at the time and at the several ports which shall be stipulated in the Appendix annexed to this treaty, and shall immediately be sot at liberty, and shall be secured in the permanent enjoyment of their freedom." The last week's Railway Receipts, ascertained up to this day, are in round figures as under:- 1852. 1851. Great Western North-Western South-Western 8,933 8,186 Brighton Midland South- Eastern North Stafford 4,541 4,527 Caledonian Great Northern . 11,404 8,126 Lancashire and Yorkshire York and North Midland Newcastle and Berwick The idea that the Bank of England must lower its rate of discount is still entertained, but no step in that direc tion has been taken up to this time. It may, under cir cumstance., be useful to defer the change for a week or two, because if we have the excitement of a general elec tion there will be, temporarily, more demand for cash, and the customary shyness among capitalists in launching out pending the uncertainty of the issue. Most impartial men are of opinion that if a reversal of free-trade policy is to be commenced, if even the slightest alteration in that direction be made, the consequences must be most per nicious; the more fact of false hopes being inspired among the Colonial planters and the British agricul turists, just as they are settling down on a wholesome basis, and having their burdens adjusted, being enough to destroy confidence. What would occur supposing a Rouse of Commons is formed that will overturn past legislation in any important degree, one might well contemplate with deep anxiety, were such a House likely to be formed, which few can believe now the country has enjoyed the blessing of cheap food, however imperfect the electoral system is known to be in affording fair representation for the people at large.

The forgery was brought borne t tha t parties in a rather singular manner. It appear ,driesb, about a week previous to the 20th December, gr•vpiee one of the prosecutors, recollected giving a g el l, to cheque to a person who afterwards turned 0 0 m ot, Kessler. He came to the shop on the 12th Pec, e "" Ile and wished to have some foreign money chaegn ad produced thirty-eight thalers, a gold coin 0, , e d American eagle; they were examined and weig' ha d , ote f ou nd to be worth 71.119.2 d.

The Heraldo states that the drawing-room held by the QUEEN on the preceding day was more bril liant and interesting than any that had hitherto taken place, the distinguished persons of all parties being anxious to testify by their presence their satisfaction at the recovery of her MAJESTY. The drawing-room was followed by a ball, at which her MAJESTY danced several times. On the 18th, when leaving the church gave orders that no chang e the o sh f o A ul t d oc b h e a, m th a e de g in uß 13N decorations, and that the mag nificent illumination of the altar of the VIRGIN should be continued until the presents which she intended to make to it had arrived. At seven in the evening a magnificent carriage drawn by eight horses, and escorted by cavalry, arrived at the church. In the carriage were the Camerara-Major, and the Grand Major Domo of the QUEEN, holding in their arms a large basket covered with a cloth embroidered with the Royal arms. These func tionaries were received at the door by the clergy, and having alighted, the basket was carried in pro cession into the church. The Count DE PINO HER MOSO then said that he bad been commanded by her Majesty the QUEEN to place at the feet of the Queen of Heaven the dress and the jewels which her MA JESTY had worn that day, when she solemnly pre sented her dear daughter as a visible testimony of her filial devotion, and her gratitude for the bounties which Heaven, in its powerful protection, had be stowed upon her. The basket was then placed upon the altar, and the covering removed. The dress that it contained was that which the QUEEN wore on the 18th, and which she also wore on the 2d, when she received the wound from the poignard of MERINO. Some marks of blood are visible on the cloak. The jewels consisted of a necklace in brilliants. The Grand Major Domo explained that the coronet which had been worn by her MAJESTY had not been sent, as it was undergoing some alterations, but that the moment they were completed he would bring it to the church. Mr. LABORDE, the Spanish Consul, had arrived at New Orleans on the 9th, in the ship-of-war Colon, from Havaunab, and was received with a salute of fifty guns. MADRID BOLSA, FED. 20.—The Three per Cents. were done at 381 for time ; the New Three per Cents. at 18 15-16 ; the Debt without Interest at 51; and the Coupons at 91. GERMAN Y. The elections for the First Chamber of the Duchy of Nassau have terminated. The majority of the deputies chosen are Conservatives. Only a small portion of the electors, however, went to . the poll. The Carlsruhe Gazette, the semi-official journal, contradicts in the moat positive way the account lately given in the Frankfort journals respecting the arrangement about the German fleet. It states that the Germanic Diet has decided that the fleet shall remain federal property, and that all the states shall contribute in fair proportions towards keeping it up. The Prussian Government is about to establish a general pension fund for aged persons, based on the principles of the Belgian law of the Bth May, 1850. A similar institution was established six months ago at Aix-la-Chapelle, and the Government of the Duchy of Luxembourg is about to establish one also. A short time ago the police of Munich seized some journals of that city, for having published a report of the proceedings of the Bavarian Chamber. An ap plication was at the same time made for the pro secution of the editors, but the tribunal of Munich has refused to take the affair into consideration. On the 19th the Municipal Tribunal at Hamburgh commenced the trial of the editor of the Mephisto pheles journal, prosecuted at the request of the French Government, for having by articles and engravings insulted the PRESIDENT of the French Republic, France being at the time in alliance with the Hanseatic Towns. The defendant pleaded that, as the Government of Prince Louis NAPOLEON had not at the time been officially recognised by foreign powers, be could not, according to the treaties of Vienna, be regarded as an ally of Germany. The tribunal has taken time to pronounce its judgment. A letter from Pilsen, in Bohemia, states that some workmen near that place, when lately digging the foundation of a house, came on masses of mineral ore containing gold. From some pieces gold was ex tracted to the vain? of 11 imperial ducats (130 f.). The Government, in consequence of this discovery, has ordered the soil to be minutely examined. It appears, from a statistical return to the Austrian Government, that at the end of 1851 the number of sheep in the A ustri an dominions amounted to twenty seven millions. In the same year these animals fur nished 610,000 quintals of wool, of which 160,000 were exported, and the rest used by the native manu facturers. THE NEW MINISTRY.
