The magnificent banquet given by the Goldsmiths' Company was almost immediately suc ceeded by that of the Royal Academy, upon both of which cccasions some of the most distinguished mem bers of the new Oabinet were enabled to talk politics rather pleasantly over the desert, flavouring the wine with (what to some palates are scarcely less nauseous than olives) speeches made up for the most Part ofgenuine after-dinner compliments. Saturday evening found them again participating in the festi vities of the capital, the LORD MAYOR receiving in the Egyptian Hall at the Mansion-houle the heads of her MAJESTY'S Government. Unfortunately we are compelled by circumstances just now to attach a larger importance than is usual to the sentiments expressed by Ministers upon these occasions—seeing that from those remarks almost exclusively we obtain at the present moment any inkling of the real feeling or intended policy of the Administration. The country has looked in vain to the more seriously prepared orations of the principal men in the Cabinet for any revelation of their views as to their projected mode of carrying on the Government. The inaugurative address delivered in the House of Lords in February by the Earl of DERBY left every one dubious as to the principles upon which he proposed to relieve him self of the responsibilities of his position as Prime Minister of England. The speech addressed to his constituents at Aylesbury by the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was not one jot more satisfactory in the way of disclosures or explanations. Neither, it must be admitted, was there a possibility of drawing any clear or appreciable deductions from the eagerly anti cipated budget by which he subsequently delayed yet further the hour when the Cabinet was to unfurl its colours, and pronounce its definitive determination. Denied all chance of penetrating through the Parlia ment a mystery more bewildering than even the famous Asian Mystery symbolized in Sidonia, we have been driven to the after-dinner speeches of the leaders of the Administration, to detect, if possible, the nature of the policy which mu't sooner or later be avowed by the DERBY.. DISRAELI Government. Happily, upon all these festive occasions, there have been conspicuous among the speakers, both the First Lord of the Treasury and the CETANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, and still more happily, both the Noble Lord and the Right Hen. Gentleman have been more than usually communica tive. Not certainly that they have ventured to enter upon anything like a detailed statement as to their intentions, but that they have thrown out hints by the aid of which the more observant may conjecture the probable parport of their ultimate amd forthcoming manifesto. What, moreover, is most especially remarkable in the course of the proceedings is, the fact, that nowhere have the leaders of the Government given utterance to opinions indicative of an intention to run directly counter to the fres trade convictions of the multitude. The PREMIER himself has avowed that he never dreams of returning to the old system of Protection, other wise then in the event of his being authorized by the people of the United Kingdom to revive what was formally abolished in 1846, and what, in truth, had been, four years previously undermined by the finan cial innovations introduced by Sir ROBERT PEEL in 1849- The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER has gone even further than the First Lord of the Trea sury in repudiating the notion of re-imposing the corn-laws,per fas et nefas, . without the preliminary consent of the population ; his financial statement being virtually nothing less than a panegyric pronounced upon the happy consequences of the free trade system founded by one of the most illustrious; as he is also, assuredly, one of the most sincerely lamented of modern statesmen. Even Mr. G.F. YOUNG may be said to have conceded in a great measure the advisability of let ting things take their course as they are, without violently reverting to laws which have long since been pronounced obsolete. Sir FITZROY KELLY is the soli tary exception to this conciliatory behaviour, by which the members of the new Government have to a considerable extent disarmed cppo• sition. No othrr individual connected with the Conservative Cabinet has had the temerity to follow in the footstep of the adventurous but blundering SOLICITOR- GENERAL. Nor is it likely that anyone will attempt to emulate the fervour by which that Honourable and Learned Gentleman has brought himself into discredit with the very petty he intended to serve. Nevertheless, while it is, of course, satisfactory to observe the judicious and almost kindly bearing of the Cabinet towards the communitr, it must not be forgotten that Ministers are doubtless influenced very considerably by the circumstance of our cicse proximity at the present moment to the general election. Aware that before tinny weeks have elapsed they must by the necessity of their position appeal, however reluctantly, to the country, they are on their good behaviour. Hence they are tairspaken. Hence they are to all appearance liberal. Hence they are almost Free-traders f.ir the time being —certainly Free-traders in the colour of their financial policy. Like the candidate who said ditto to Mr. Bona; they say ditto to Sir ROBERT PEEL, and not only ditto to Sir ROBERT PEEL, but ditto even to Sir CU I.7,LEi WOOD. But—again we would briefly call the fact to public remembrance —they know that before autumn has far advanced there will be a new Parliament. As COLMAN makes old• Lord DUBERLY say in the comedy—" Fair words butter no parsnips," speaking according to the wisdom of those aphorisms which were pronounced vulgar by the Earl of CIIESTL'RFIELD. It would be well therefore, for the electors to watch with scrutinizing vigilance the words that fall from the lips of her MAJESTY'S Ministers, whether on tha occasion of a civic banquet, or of a discussion in - either House of the Legislature. While we have all along main tained that it would be factious to force the Cabinet of a Necessity, a Cabinet created by an unavoidable juncture of circumstances,into any precipitate state rnent- of its intended policy, we would insist that s ome candid avowal of its principles should, in anticipation of the next General Election, be at length made by the Leaders of her MAJESTY'S Government. Let the consti tuNacies of the United Kingdom learn the views en tertained by the Cabinet before its definitive appeal to the country, let them acquire an accurate cogni zance of the iathntions of MinLters as to Free Trade and Protection, or as to Reform and Ritrogression— and then, with " a &ear , stage and no favour," we have every confidence in the triumph of the great principles of constitutional advancement, the princi ples of Change in regard to everything capable of im - provement, and of Conservatism in regard to every thing worthy of conservation. requisite in Ever- in p.n e one, we conceive, is by this time coincident v's.esjorit The t ion that some changes have become absolutely the na7dical jurisprudence of insanity. the .... ng,: p h moreover, are equally agr e ed that advocated v b o e c e Ei n t : d h ben " siv " e u . a it h (mid be both immediate and compre cwuel v a err, kind of of f those reformw ho have hitherto t e h f i a s te Par h t o i to hear the for e t remain doomed of their argum en t s a ll owe d , an d o sNon ii, this ,to disappoi n t men t.

They col lected information : they published the result ' • cf their researcbee : they altogeth,r disarmed opposition by :he mast formidable displ ay o f logic, the logic o; statistics—but with the jui tice o f their ' assertions ad mitted let and near, they have be en compelled to see the evil system gill predernieaet. The drain-- e 6 e cc , n4 i n eee to be wholly inad equate. Toe supely of water is as imi..ure as hitherto, in quality , , 4 quaa if net in fn • quantity, wholly insufficient, 'Ventilation is , st•ii adm i re d b u t ueadorfd ; and the heathenish ahomli reitions.of the London graveyards are still as rife as ever in same ot• cur most densely -Populated lecaliti?g, bring:eg disgrace and disease simultaneously upon the wealtbiezt metropolis in Christendom. Yet the Earl of DEBBY, as Prime Minister of England, can allow these statements of the Sanitary R ee 1 -.oraiera to be nothing short of actual " truisms"--[the very phrase made use of by the Panama th e other evenicg in the House of Lords, on the occasion of the debate called forth by the motion of the Earl of SUAFTESBUBY] —while matters remain , in auk quo, w ith o ut one energetic effort in the right I direction having been made by the Government. From the pertinacity with which we have for a long series of years insisted upon the necessity of these particular changes with a view to increase the general comfort, and to decrease by the same means the annual mortality, we are bold to say that we have qualified ourselves to speak with some degree of energy upon this subject, and to be numbered also upon the catalogue of the most prominent among the Sanitary Reformers. Scarcely less plainly is The I Sun empow e r e d t o s p ea k i n re f erence t o th e c h anges requisite in the medical jurisprudence of insanity, from the fact of having so long rendered itself the organ for the advocacy of those very desirable inno vations. Whenever an occasion presents itself, there fore, which appears to afford anything like a reason able opportunity for the revival of this singularly important subject, we are eager to avail ourselves of it forthwith, even at the risk of a repetition, some times to ourselves, almost amounting to tediousness. It was our pleasing duty a few months back to comment upon the remarks relating to the above mentioned argument, that of the reforms desirable in the medical jurisprudence of insanity, put forth by Dr. Woon, the medical officer of Bethlem Hospital, a gentleman peculiarly well qualified to pronounce upon the matter both by reason of his responsible position, and of his singularly valuable expe rience. Already the volutes* to which we then directed public attention has attained the dignity of a second edition, the interest of the reprint being' materially enhanced by the lengthy and important " Introduction" prefixed to these " Remarks on the Plea of Insanity and on the Management of Criminal Lunatics." It will be remembered by those who examined the observations of Dr. WOOD on the occasion of their original ap pearance that he distinctly stated in one portion of his argument that he was " not prepared to adopt the opinion of an able writer upon insanity, that nobody is of perfectly sound mind," adding, because it seemed to him that, "as far as anything human can be perfect, we must consider that mind perfect which has a due appreciation of all the events of which it has to take cognizance, and by the order and regularity which it observes, in responding to the impressions conveyed to it, exhibits such manifestations, as by common consent, would be expected to occur under such circumstances." The distinction, it must be allowed, was subtle, and yet at the same time sufficiently clear and comprehensible. Against any misapprehensions as to his meaning in this passage, Dr. Wool) guards, by avow ing now explicitly, almost in so many words, that he does not look upon "irrational habits and un reasonable conduct as proofs of the existence of in sanity." Instead of denying the existence of sanity in this world, or putting it generally out of court, Dr. WOOD observes, in the course of the " Introduc tion" prefixed to his arguments, " I hold that a great deal of what has been called insanity_is no such thing, although, at the same time, a great deal of what I believe to be a degree of mental imperfection has never been recognised as such." The distinction which has thus been extorted from the medical officer of Bethlem Hospital. by those who misapprehended his deductions as at first announced, is one of the most significantly indicative of the purport of his entire analysis. For many rea sons we are rejoiced to witness the re-issue of a volume which we are fain to regard as marking a step in advance on the pathway of these long. desired innovations. In the course of the movement here referred to, it is something to have elicited the remarks here published as the fruit of Dr. WOOD'S investigation. Est quaddom prodire tenus si non datur ultra. Yet we shall still continue to look forward to the period when our long-cherished aspirations upon the subject may at length be realised, and when huma nity may be vindicated from the pressure of an evil which has hitherto been one of the heaviest stigmas on our entire system of criminal jurisprudence. * " Remarks on the Plea of Insanity, and on the Management of Criminal Lunatics.

T RE S UN, LONDON, THE FRENCH REPUBLIC We have received the Paris journals of Saturday and yesterday. Peri?, is crowded with strangers, who have come to witursa the fetes of the 10th of May. A general warning has been addressed to all jaarnels that they are not to publi,h any notice of the private meetings of the - Council of Ssk. ice C'onstitutiowarl intimates that a law is about to be prepared for allowing stock to be exchanged for terminable annuities. I; has been stated that a bill is now under examiaati )n by the Council of State for the pro. secution of Frenchmen for crimes committed out of the French territory, or foreigners guilty of crimes arrested in France. The bill, which was drawn up by M. ROUHER, enacts that any Frenchman guilty of a crime accor di ng t o F renc h laws, committed mit of the territory of the Re public, may be prosecutcd and judged on the demand of 'the public prosecutor, or on the complaint of the injured parties, even though he may. have been pro secuted in a foreign country, unless indeed there may have been a judgment. A prosecution may also be commenced against a Frenchman guilty in foreign countries of the offences of using false passports, ex citing to debauchery, robberies and swindling. These prosecutions may take place even when the victims of the crimes or offences are foreigners. Foreigners arrested on the French territory, as authors or ac complices of murder, manslaughter, poisoning, cutting and wounding, rape, arson, piracy, forgery, and rob bery in foreign countries, on the person or to the pre judice of a Frenchman, may be prosecuted, tried, and condemn id in France. NVe read in the Constitutionnel— "ale fireworks have been pustponed to Thursday. The arrengements ordered by the Prefect of Police for Wedne3day ail stand good for the following day. A kind of rehearsal of a part of the fireworks has already taken place at the Trace:Yore. A certain Hum ber of men belonging to different regiments of infan try of the garrison were on the grounds, and fired off a aumber of the Roman candles. A number of spec tators rere present who appeared highly delighted with the scene." By order of the Minister of War, according to a decree in the Itcaniteur, all the officers in the army in France are to take the oath prescribed by the Constitution —within one month from the Ist inst., for those resident in Conic:, the bland of Elba, Capraia, in England, and in the states bordering tan France within two months; in the other states of Europe, four months ; out of Europe, this side of the Cape of Good Hope, six month and for th ose beyond it, twelve m on th s . Those officers abroad are to deliver it in writing to the consular agents, to be by them transmitted to the Minister of War. A letter from Lorient, of the sth inst., states that the Goeland steam-frigate had been dispatched on the previous day in great haste to Belle-Itle, in conse quence of an alarm that an attempt would be made by BARBES and ALBERT to escape from that place, in which attempt they were to be assisted from without. The Goeland was ordered to watch the coast, and search every boat that might be seen leaving. The steamer returned to Lorient in 48 hours after her departure, bringing an account that everything was quiet in the prison, and that there was no cause for any further uneasiness. The PRESIDENT of the Republic has just awarded an annual grant of 2,0001. to the musical school of Metz, which is a branch of the Conservatoire of Paris. It is also said that the PRINCE has given a cup in enamel, of the national manufacture of Sevree, of the value of 1,200 f., to be run fcr at theinext cavalry races at Samna.

We have received correspondence from Berlin of the 7th instant, which conveys the important in telligence that the Lower Chamber had rejected the Government proposition on the organization of the Upper House. The Lhower Chamber having re jected on the 26th ult. the Peerage Bill adopted by the First Chamber, a Royal message sent on the 28th a new Bill, attributing to the Crown exclusively the organization of the Peerage. This new bill had been adopted by 8 votes to 5 by the Committee of the First Chamber charged to exemine it, but was, on the contrary, rejected by the Committee of the Second Chamber, who had substituted for it, by 12 votes to 9, an amendment proposed by M. DR BODELSCHWING, nearly the same as the bill re jected on the 26th. The telegraph now informs us that the Second Chamber has rejected alike the new bill of the Government and the propositions of the Committee and all the amendments presented. It has thus swept everything away, leaving alone in force the articles of the Constitution which regulate the formation of the First Chamber according to the elec tive principle." It is now certain that the German fleet has ceased to exist; the crews, consisting of about GOO men, were all paid off on the 30th ult. At present there only remain on board each vessel an officer and eight men, whilst waiting for the sale of the vessels, which is shortly to take place. On the 3d inst., while the Duke of NASSAU was riding in the park of the Chateau, his horse reared, by which he was thrown off and broke his arm. The proposed additional tax or excise duty on the manufacture of beetroot sugar has been thrown out by the Second Chamber by 134 votes against 115. The present tax is fixed for a period that does not expire till thelst of September, 1853, and the Com mittee, in its report, declared itself against disturbing the arrangement; but added, if the Chamber decided on raising the duty to 4f silber groschen per centutn (of the raw material) the manufacturer was able to bear the increase without injury ; the present rate is 3 gros.cten per centum. The Government is pressed on this question by a difficulty of its own creation. The advantage it has given to the beetroot sugar pro ducers by the high duty on colonial sugar has caused a loss to the Zollverein revenue of four millions of thalers, the greater part of it has fallen to the home manufactures; the State has lost, but the consumers h ave not gained it. The Excise duty on native sugar is also divided among the states of the Zollverein like an import duty, and it is to recover some of this vanished revenue that the additional duty is proposed. But there is a natural reluctance to break an agreement made for a term of years, though its terms are evidently disad vantageous to the Government. The manufacturers have made their calculations, increased their works, and laid out additional capital, on the faith of the last settlement, and the Government should have waited till the next period of adjustment to make better terms. Many who are quite ready to vote for a higher excise on this article on the termination of the present understanding, refused to disturb the existing settle ment. The Government has looked only at the finan cial loss, and asserts a right to make that loss good ; the Chamber maintains that there is a morality as well as a strict right in such questions, and that the con tinual disturbance of formal compacts is not only in jurious to all commerce, but public confidence in the Government itself. This is undoubtedly the fact, and the vote of the Chamber is not so much a defence of the favoured manufacture, as II declaration that an en gagement once made ought to be adhered to. The RING and QUEEN bad left Berlin on the 6th to meet the Emperor and Empress of RUSSIA at the Prussian frontier. The EMPRESS proceeds to Berlin, while the EMPEROR continues his course to Vienna, thence to Prague, to visit the ex-Emperor of AUSTRIA, and afterwards come for a few days to Berlin. Ex traordinary preparations were made on the road from St. Petersburgh to Warsaw, for the journey of the EMPRESS and her numerous suite. When the Est reaoa travels alone he generally does se in a more simple manner. A gentleman who came a little in advance of the Imperial train describes the spectacle along the whole line as extraordinary. The road, for 400 English miles, was repaired and swept by hand, every stone being removed, and at every post station 176 horses were kept ready harnessed, that not ,an instant. might be lost. In Berlin the expected arrival of the EMPEROR is announced by the increased severity of the police inspection of travellers at the railway stations. For two days past no person had been allowed to get out of the carriages till after his papers had been rigidly examined ; all perrons coming from Poland have been detained, without exception, for special exami nation. The police agents have, it is supposed, dis covered a conspiracy, as usual ; on such occasions their inventive powers always feel a stimulus. If the strictness of the regulations is continued, the tra velling public will wish his Imperial MAJESTT'S stay to be as short as possible. The sth being set apart in each year by the Evangelical Church as a day of general " prayer and repentance " (Buss-tag), all public business was sus pended, the Exchange end theatres were closed, and of course the Chambers held no sitting; The shops were all shut up, and there was nothing stirring but the cold east wind and clouds of dust. The city looked intensely gloomy. Just at this juncture a letter has been addressed to most of the professors of the Uni versity by some person who dates from " Montgomery county," Ohio, in the " States," warning them col lectively of the perilous condition of their souls in consequence of their total want of " true religion." The theological faculty is very indignant, especially as their monitor has, in his zeal, forgotten to pay the postage of his exhortations. lie tells them that the real doctrines of Christianity are lightly esteemed in Germany, because they a re i n contradiction to the Rationalism fostered by the phil osop hi cal systems o f K ANT , FICHTE, SCHRLLING, and HEGEL. In one pas s age be says that of the whole sixty-six ordinary and extraordinary professors of the University of Berlin but a small fracti on h ave studied the mere ru dirnents of the Christian faith ; and that, though he respects the learning they possess, such as it is, "'yet he would not be in any of their places for a thousand vrorlds." Whether the professors of the other German universities have been favoured with similar admonitions is not stated, but it is not unlikely. It is rumoured that the reigning Duke of BRUNS WICK is on the point of marriage ---a fact not without importance in the politics of North Germany. The present Duke has no issue, and the reversion of the clued crown belongs to Hanover, the Duke CHARLES h av i ng been not only ou s t e d from his estates in 1830, but declared by the Germanic Diet incapable of reigning. The aggrandisement of a large Protestant prospective state in North Germany is regarded by Austria with disfavour, and any tendency to pre serve the duchy of Bruussvick in its present separate state, is certain to find e ncouragement from the Court of Vienna. Martial law was re -proclaimed in Presburg on the 25th ult. Incendiary fires are of weekly occurrence in the city and environs. ITALY. A melancholy accident occurred near RGnco, in Piedmont, on the lst, at a spot where a new bridge, intended for the railway, is constructing over the Scrivia. A provisional bridge being constructed for the use of the workmen, about twenty of them were standing upon it in two rows, executing the usual manceuvres of handing bricks to one another, when a cart, Ltden with 300 bricks, drove upon the provisional bridge, which suddenly besides the carter, NW gave way, and fourteen men, tre Precipitated into the stream below. Prompt assistance was at hand ; but never theless the carter was found d ea d, and the other men, though all saved, were more or less injured ; of these, two died on the following day ; five of them are at the hospital o f Isola del Cantone with fractured limbs. The Communal Council of Turin has granted to Sergeant Sweat, who saved the great powder maga zine from explosion on the 26:h ult., the right of citizenship. is to bear his Moreover, one of the streets of the city mine, and a stone slab is to be placed in some publics quare, hereafter to bo determined, on which shall be Inscribed his name, and those of the citizens who distinguished themselves on the occasion.

The very unsatisfactory controversy respecting the value of Californian mines and titles, would probably soon cease if the example of two leading companies were followed. The Agua Fria took advantage some time back of Mr. Wright's presence in England to obtain for the shareholders a full explanation of their prospects, and these were deemed very encouraging. Other com panies, we have reason to believe, are much better off than has been supposed, and have their capital almost wholly at command, pending the decision of the question of titles. The most sensible and straightforward course, however, that we have seen in respect to the restoration of confidence, is that adopted by the diree'ors of the Carson's Creek Mine. The honed determined to send out a deputation to California for the purpose of satis fying themselves upon these important puintP:- Ist. The title of the present proprietors to the mining property, and the lands on which the same are situated. 2d. The constitution of the company —the names of the members now constituting it —the shares in which they are entitled—the names of its officers—and the fact of i s having been incorporated according to the levrs of California, consistently with the laws of the United States—sod also the legal incidents and consequences of such incorporation. It is under a ".S'quatter's title " that the mines and lands of the Cartons Creek Company are held. It is represented that the mode of acquiring rights to land by American citizms, in every case of annexation of a new state to the United States, has been for parties to appro priate a district of land of a defined extent of territorial Surface, and to enclose and improve it, and that upon re gistering a claim to the land. so appropriated, in the dis trict court of the county, with certain forms prescribed by the eutirt, and also registering such claim in,the court of the country or state, the location is surveyed, and the right of the party appropriating it is confirmed; and that, this ceremony performed and completed, the registered proprietor acquires, according to the laws of the coun try, an indefeasible freehold title to the land. It must be ascertained whether this is the law of California; and also, what is the law of the United Sates on this sub ject, and whether all the requisites have been performed by the proprietors of the Cersons Crock Company for se curing the title, to the several locations as fr ee h o ld. As to the constitution of companies in general under the Act of Congress that regulates them, it is recom mended that particular inquiry should be instituted. Then as to the second grand ebjeet of the deputation, the value of the mine, the tithe has been looked to, and the locality and extent, and an examination is to be made es to whether veins of gold in the quartz rock of the mine be, as stated, visible to the naked eye; whether there be an abundance of timber, and an unfailing sup ply of water power on the location of the Stanislaus river and whether the location o n C arsons C ree k b e o f the high value it is represented to be, as a site for the erection of machinery for the purposes of the wise. You will of course descend the mine. It has been re presented to the board, that the ore from the deepest shaft yut sunk (a depth of 83 feet) is richer than that near the surface; you will carefully ascertain the feet You will report specially upon . the statement made, that in addition to t h e di s ti nc t veins, the gold is variably diffused throughout the mass of the epeertz rock. t There is no object more immediate or more important to claim your att en tion, after your arrival at the mine, than that of verifying the asserted accumulations of ore lying at the surface, and estimated at the large value of 200,0001. sterling. You will satisfy yourselves_ upon this subject in-such a mode as to leave no room for doubt or cavil. YOU will ascertain and fully report upon the estimates locally formed of the expenses of working the min e , art ranging these under the:following ha ad s.— 1. Cost per ten of extracting the ore from the mine. 2. Of pulverizing or reducing it. 3. 01 extracting the metal, either by quicksilver or by washing. 4. Ot carriage of the metal to San Francisco. You will report the actuel condition and appearance of the mine; the number of men and mules, or horses, em-. played; the amount and kind of machinery in use; the number of shafts open; and the mode in which the ac counts of the mine are kept. Copies •of these instructions have been circulated . among all the shateholders, and besides what we have given there are other points le fleeting great credit on the caution and judgment of the board, and their sense of the reapousildlity that rests upon them. The committee of bondholders have received advises: from Mexico, dated 3d tilt. The agents at the different ports had up to that date received, for account of Messrs. Bating Brothers and CO., in reimbursement of their advance for the January dividend, about 500,000 dollo., of which about 0.56,000 dolls. had been shipped. The Bill for farming the Custom's revenues had as no prog ress i n Congress.
