=u 2 or Obtninit 4&.l'•"int LONDON, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1852. Speaking of the political superiority arising out of the geographical advantages possessed by a maritime state, Lord BACON has observed, with his accustomed wisdom and more even than his accustomed senten tiousness—" To be master of the sea is an abridgment of a monarchy." CICERO had already implied the same truth when, in writing to ATTICus about Pox- PEl's preparations against C2L3AR, he observed that the opinion of POMPEY was manifestly identical with that of THEMISTOCLEC, seeing that he considered that whoever possessed the command of the sea held in his grasp the reins of imperial dominion—" Consilium Pompeii plane Themistocleum est ; putat enim, qui mari potitur, eum rerum potiri." The opinion of BACON, the opinion of CICERO, the opinion of POM PEY, the opinion of THEMISTOCLES—aII combine to force upon the recognition cf the British Government the necessity of maintaining our marine predominance over the rest of Christendom. The dictates of self preservation, indeed, point imperatively in the same direction. That motive of itself one might conceive would be sufficient to induce the ad ministratore of England to cherish with the utmost conceivable assiduity the energies of its naval power. Yet, not so—it hes only been by the most reiterated appeals made to the patriotism of party that the en deavours of the ruling Cabinet have been directed towards the development of the latent resources of the great national profession. Happily, however, on reviewing the progress made of late years in the ad vancement of the maritime forces of the world, it is gratifying to observe that the improvement discern ible in the Royal Navy of England is more than pro portionedatthe to the ori g i na l superiority of Great Britain commencement of th e p eace thi r t y - seven years agone. Nevertheless, this advantage has been gained solely by the pertinacity with which the necessity of change aft er c h ange h as b een thrust upon th e attention of the authorities at the Admiralty. The relucmtaanrk, h ce of th ese o ffi c i a l s , it i s scarcely necess ary to re been for a very considerable pe r i o d proverbial) And And no wonder. For while several of cur marineanor octogena r i ans h ave been left at full liberty to wander about the dock yards razee-ing this vessel and that, trying exces eieel:e comical but, we regret also ce ssively to b een an expensive experiments upon observe, t..ites e xd three-deckers, a civilian has too often placed at the head of the boar d of Lords Commissioner. was among several of the mos t important source s It of satisfaction to the coun tr y on the res ignation of th e Whigs, that the Admiralty was at length placed 00cc , more under the command of a distinguished naval officer—a sailor no less eminent by his position and no less respected for his character than his Grac e ALGERNON PERCY, the Duke of Northumberland. Altogether, therefore, affairs at the Admiralty may be regarded as holding out to the nation the happiest prospects as to the still further development of our maritime resources, as well as to their prospectively improved organization. We may hope, before long, under these agreeable auspices, to hear somewhat less about calling out the awkward squads of a cumbrous and shambling militia, for the nonsensical purpose of defending an island, the security of which (under Divine P ROVIDENCE ) oug h t to depend, of course, upon its Bea forces, and especially upon its marine artillery. Once let the Royal Navy assume its natural position, an d We sh a ll fi n d no reason thenceforth for anxiety aa to the accident of invasion. L e t th at b ranch o f the p u bli c service be regarded as by right it should always be regard. the most essentiald;o namely, as the m os t na ti ona l an d the e x i s t ence o f t h e B ritish Empire — an d we shall never have the tim e o f t h e squandered Legislature upon and inefficient measures for the s the di scuss i on o f h asty by hurriedly drilled and protection of the coast clumsily acco u tr ed bands of civilians. What Engl and in th e wa y o f defence against the possibilirtyclire s e u f soldiers rs warlike incur sion is—nut troops of amateu r to fight the invaders after they have landed, b ut o: , t the brave hearted, iron-handed Tars of Old v o their landing at all, and so by la nd th eto prev en t eff ectua l means secure to the country the ble ss i ngs of unin terrupted tranquillity. Hitherto, with colonial possessions scattered all over the world—stretching northwards beyond H u d. son's Bay up to the extremity of the Arctic regions, southwards bey o nd New Zealand to the f urthest limits of Victoria Land, westward beyond Ne w Brunswick to the coal deposits of - Vancouver's Island, and eastwards beyond Gibraltar and Valetta and Ce phalonia to the rice -fields of Hindostan, and the tea depots of Hong-gong and the spice-treasures of Borneo—hitherto, we say, notwithstanding the enor mous extent and scattered situation of her territorial acquisiions, England has been enabled to maintain the security of her position and the integrity of her dominion. She has done this simply because of her abloot involuntary regard to the necessities of her sway as en insular power, because of her almost instinctive recognition of that profound aphor ism of Lord BACON, that—" to be master of the sea is an abridgment of a monarchy." Looking back to the records of the wisdom of antiquity, we have shown that the sage and golden truth pronounced by the Founder of Inductive Philosophy was identical with the opinion expressed by CICERO, acted upon by PoMrEY, and advanced by THEMISTOCLES. It were well if the principle therein implied were borne now a-days more sedulously than ever in the remembrance of the British Government. It were well if the say ing of Bacot were emblazoned over the vestibule of the Admiralty, and inscribed—like " Frigates" on the heart of NELSON, and " Calais" on that of MARY —on the hearts, the consciences, and the judgments of the Lords Commissioners. For assuredly, if in the abstract " to be master of the sea is an abridg ment of a monarchy"—in the particular instance before us it is infinitely more than "an abridgment of a monarchy" —it i s an ac tual necessity for the conti nuance of the existence of England, for the enforce ment of her authority, and for the perpetuation of her dominion. in Parliament, by and just, against the waste of time There has long been a comp laint, loud, general, speech-making. Could the fact. be investigated, it probably would appear that, nine hundred an d ninety-nine cases out of a thousand, not even a single vote has been changed by a speech in Parliament, however eloquent. Members go into the discussion of a question with their minds made up as to how they shall vote. Parliamentary speeches have their effect, no doubt, but in a circuitous manner. They are spoken, reported, and read. They influence the public mind beyond and out of the Senate ; and then the electors influence the representatives, and thus ob tain a modification or change of opinion. Mr. VILLIERS, in this way, annually made his onslaught against the corn-laws. He got few votes in the House. His statements were read and dis cussed out of doors, and gradually influenced the minds within. At last the public became imbued with his feelings, and the repeal of the corn-laws took place. It is rather to be reported in the news papers, than to gain converts in either House, that Peers and Members of Parliament make speeches. It has been discussed whether, in this country, as in the ci-devant Chambers of Peers and Deputies at Paris, and in Congress at Washington, what are called la cloture, and the power of stopping a speaker after he had been "on his legs" for a specified time (usually half an hour), should be intro duced into the British Parliament. No such sys tem has obtained among us. In America, where it may be carried out, it is almost inoperative. There, as with us, speeches may be of any length—though the British Legislature certainly has a peculiar way of its own of putting down a long-winded speaker. It will listen to the flowing eloquence of DISRAELI, the good sense of Waeroee, the common-place wisdom of Hume, the hesitating sentences of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, the dashing rhetoric of KEOGH, the ready sarcasm of BERNAL OSBORNE, the eccentricities of HENRY DRUM MOND, the acerbity of ROEBUCK, the anti-episcopal attacks of Sir BENJAMIN HALL, the sound common sense of CHARLES VILLIERS, the vigorous declamation of Sir JAMES GRAHAM_ the boldness of BRIGHT, the clearness of COBDEN, the classic eloquence of BUTT, or even the spasmodic efforts of the immortal SIBTHORP—but it will not listen to pompous platitudes or mere essays at speak ing from " honourable gentlemen" who wish to " air their vocabulary" (as Lady MORGAN said) and make the House of Commons a place for oratorical practice. The moment one of these legislators attempts to " fly off at a tangent," in a cut-and-dry harangue, carefully elaborated and faithfully committed to memory, or to blunder through an oration, as if it were a punish ment, the House puts him down gently by its own unmistakable means. Not so at Washington. There the pent-up crater must have its way—let him who would stop it, dread gouging and the bowie knife 1 The long speech, however weak or wearisome, must be spoken, in order that it may be printed, to show the world how the Member of Congress has distinguished himself in the Legislature. "Must be spoken ?" asks a little Astno deus who has perched himself in our vicinity, himself invisible, and overlooks what we have written. " Must be spoken ?"—We admit that the remark was inconsiderate. We have before us an American journal, containing a report of the proceedings of the First Session of the Thirty•second Congress. There, under date the 12th of August, it is reported that, in the House of .Repressntatives— " Mr. Freeman (dem.) of bliss., not wishing to trouble gentlemen with a speech, obtained permission to print one on the subject of the public lands." What an admirable way of managing matters ! The orator has only to bring down his speech in his pocket, the House to take it as read ( just as our own Court of Chancery does with documents), and ob!ain leave to have it printed. Fancy what a relief to the legis latiee mind if our own RICHARD SPOONER, the atrabilious Member for Warwickshire, would deal in this way with his tiresome in tolerances. What a relief to the public, if instead of lengthened and adjourned d e b ates, some times occupying five or six night s , none but the leaders must speak, all the rest, " not wishing to trouble gentlemen with a speech," obtaining permis sion to print it ! There is something novel and en tertaining, in this American "notion." We wish that Mr. FREEMAN, the democratic re presentative of Mis souri, could inoculate our Legislature with his views on this head. We have been doomed to listen to absurd speeches, fired off in irregular vollies, like the platoon practice of " the awkward squad," until we have wondered, at last, whether DICK MARTIN'S Act for punishing Cruelty to Animals might not be enforced in such cases. Oh, that Honourable Members would only consent to print, not speak, their orations ! After all, the probability is that our present chance of an occasional speech, too tedious or too dull, is better than the " preventive check" as supplied by the power of the clOture or the half-hour limit. The newspapers brought over from New York, by the Africa steamer, which arrived at Liverpool on Sunday, supplied us with one of those reports—unhappily and disgrace fully too frequent in the Legislature at Washington— in which personalities were exchanged and language I ndulged i n , o f t h e same c h aracter as distinguishes he scolding a o f the naiiiis of Billings ga t e . W e copied the report into 7he Sun of yesterday, where, no doubt , it has a tt racte d th e attent i on of many thousa n d readers a smart and sauc . declarationtheof ex-P res id en t) to General Curzom, of "For fearst tell the entlema n hasietf misapprehe ns i on , 1 LlAR,"—he h a d pre g he viously intimated had betrayed the South.

Mr. POLK expressed a p ovfe.ieh tlas the gentleman would come a littl e neasere_ tw a t a t i nv i ter, w e presume, meaning within gsagin, dis tance. After many words, "the gentleman" endea. voured to explain, but Pone stuck to his assertion and insult, and repeated, " I said you were a liar, and I ray so again." All this time the President of the House vainly sought to maintain order the report says, " Bang, bang went the hammer." I t would not do. The orators would have their scolding by advising match.

A " dignity-ball" in Barbadoes (so humorously) described by MAR.. RYATT, alone would suit such polite legislators.

Under the head of " C'est l'heure de se convertir," Dr. VERON gives more than three columns in the Consiitutionnel, to show that it is useless for the old parties to continue their resistance to Louis Napo- LEON. The writer proceeds on the assumption that the French people have too long abused the liberty that they enjoyed to be capable of appreciating its be nefits, and that for their own interest they require a Government which by its force and intelligence shall restrain them from excesses in their own interest. The following extract will show the tenor of the writer's opinions oi : s , u Napoleon was imbued deeply with the feeling that it was necessary to make a great coup d'etat, and overturn with a firm hand the old institutions. which were abused, in order, as he himself said, to replace the pyramid on its base. Succurrere seclo everso. Well, then, when anyone is not influenced by the blindest pride, how is it possible not to be converted to respect for the Go vernment? not to aid it, emanating as it does from the widest election by the people, and so ardently embracing all the ideas of the time, and satisfying with so sure a hand the interests and wants cf the country? For more than sixty years the lore of liberty and respect for constitutions have been made a popular religion. We do not want to see the altars on which so many victims were sacrificed broken to pieces with brutal impiety; but one of the great laws of politics is certainly oppor tuneness of acting, and for a people menaced by barbs ' rians the true beau ideal of a constitution has been for a certain time the soul of a Trojan, counselled by a Pliny the Younger. Yes, this is undoubtedly the hour for men to be converted in France; and we consider that a nation which in sixty years has committed so many catastrophes, can without dishonour come and say to a government issued from universal suffrage, ' I come (not like Mdlle. de is Vallies, for ever!) to give up to you my liberty, of which I have made so bad a use." The Pays publishes a third article, by M. GRANIER DE CASSAGNAC, under the head of "Le Gouverne ment du 2 Decembre devant la Raison et devant la Morale." The present is in the same eulogistic strain as the former articles. There is an article in the Debats on the loan of two millions sterling contracted for by Turkey, speaking strongly in favour of that financial measure. It concludes by saying— " Turkey alone in Europe had no public debt. Why should she not do now what all other nations have done and practised with so much advantage? Why s hould not what ha s succee d e d so we ll w i th them succee d with Turkey? It se ems t o us once aga i n t h at there i s r eason to applaud and congratu l ate T ur k ey on see i ng her, in imitation of all other Governments, enter the career of credit. We hope that T ur k e y w ill fi n d t h ere i n an ele ment of activity, of l a bo ur , an d o f wea l t h . B u t Turkey will not be alone in p r o s p er i ng b y i t . I t h er population of thirty millions—such at least is the number given in the least uncertain statistical returns—develop© their agriculture, their commerce, the languishing germs of their manufact ures , F rance , E ng l an d , an d all other states will find in her a mar k e t o f i ncreas i ng importance, a more extensive deb ouc he f or th e i r pro d uc tions, a more extensive centre of su ppl ies an d exc h ange s. They will find also a productive investment for their superabundant capital. These relations of creditor and debtor have in creased during a certain number of years amongst all people, and it would not be easy to say whether they' have been more profitable to debtor or creditor. It is with the capital of England that a number of manufactures have been built, mines worked, and railways constructed on the continent. E very b o d y has gaine d by that. On e party has been a bl e to create enterpr i ses which have in creased their fortune and the prosperity of their coun try. The other has d erived a larger interes t from th e i r capital; in fa c t, i t may b e said that part o f the Eugiish people live at present on the revenue w hi c h all t h e pa lions of the c o n ti nent, w i thout spea ki ng of those of th e New W or ld, p ay t h em. Such is the d o uble advant age which we see i n t h e f uture in the pat h in which Turk ey has just taken the first step with the support of the ca pital of France and England. We shall lend to Turkey as we have lent to Piedmont and Spain. And we must add, that those who may confide their money to her will not have the fear that a revolution in the evening will cause their debtor and their security to disappear in the morning. For the stability of Governments in questions of public credit is a very important matter, and we do not know many Governments in Europe , which h ave been hatter preserv e d th a n that of Turkey from th e re volutions which h ave ag itated the world." The Siicle, in an article on the same subject, although it approves of the loan, takes a less brilliant view of the destiny of Turkey. It is of opinion that Turkey is not in the condition to render it probable that credit can be established there on a safe end durable footing. We read in a Par:s letter in the Austrian Lloyds of Vienna :—" The marriage of the PRINCE PRESIDENT with the daughter of the Prince GUSTAVUS WASA has really been adjourned. The reasons are these :—One of the most celebrated professors of the Faculty of Medicine at Heidelberg has advised Prince WASA not to allow the Princess CAROLINE to be married until she shall be full twenty years of age, as her growth is not yet terminated; she is at present only nineteen. On the other hand the Princess WASA, her mother, has been suffering for a long time from a complaint which renders a surgical operation neces sary. It was therefore an act of propriety to adjourn the marriage. ThiP, however, does not prevent an active correspondence from being kept up between the PRINCE PRESIDENT and the WASA family; and every week the rarest fruits and flowers of the season are sent from St . . Cloud to the Princess CARO LINE. LOUIS NAPOLEON had originally intended first to conclude the marriage, and afterwards to proclaim the Empire. But now, the contrary will take place. He will ascend the throne before the end of the pre sent year, and will only get married next year. As to the re-establishment of the Empire, it is not in the power of Louis NAPOLEON to postpone it any longer, as the councils- general have so generally de manded it. The Cardinal Archbishop of BESANCON, at a recent distribution of prizes in the college of that city, took occasion to defend the study of Pagan authors of Greece and Rome, which has lately been attacked by a certain party in the church. Those authors are, he said, models of taste and elegance, and without them it is impossible to know antiquity. He denied that the study of their works can lead to immorality if masters do their duty in inculcating Christian truths in the minds of their pupils. The Cardinal Archbishop, however, said he had no objection to the study and examination of the fathers of the church, provided they be kept within moderate bounds. The Journal du Havre states that a company has been formed for founding, on a grand plan entirely new, a sugar establishment at Guyana. It proposes to employ such of the forcats as may be recom mended by the authorities for their good conduct. From an experiment just made, it appears that telegraphic di , patches can be transmitted from Paris to Vienna, via the Strasburg Rail way, i n a b out an hour. The closing prices of the Vienna Stock Ex change were sent off a few days ago at three o'clock, and reached Paris at five, atter being detained at Strasburg nearly an hour. The Boure was remarkably firm, with a slight rise in the price of Government securities. The Four-and a-lialf per Cents. opened at 105 f. 85c., and closed at the same price for the end of the month; the Three per Cents. closed at 771. 45c.; Orleans Railway Shares, 1,448 f. 75e.; Rouen, 875 i.; Havre, 3731. 75c. • Grew Northern, 668 f. 75e.; A vignon, 4911. 23c.; Basic, 311 t. 25c.; Paris and Strasburg, 687 f. 50c.; Paris and Lyons, 793 f. 75c. ; Lyons and Avignon, 5951.; Western of France, 600 f.; St. Dizier to Gray, 550 f.

The Universal German Gazette states that the police of Silesia have been ordered to look out nar rowly for a certain kind of handkerchief, which, after having been washed, loses the colours of the pattern stamped on them, and bring to light a revolutionary manifesto. DENMARK. It is now publicly announced that the fortress of Rendsborg will be dismantled. This step is about the wisest which could have been taken, and does honour to the present Cabinet. The position of Rendsborg is such that it is the natural stronghold of Holstein and Germany, the dangerous wasp's nest of S chles wig - Holsteinisin. Immense quantities of arms and ammunition have been removed, including an incredible number of cannon, partly of Prussian model, and partly, copied from the Danish. On August 26th was held the usual quarterly meeting of the Royal Society of Northern Antiqua rians. The Vice-President, Privy Councillor WkGE NER, e xhibited dra w i ngs o f th ree s t one monumen t : , at Thisted, in Jutland, one of which was a rune stone, hitherto little known. CARL SCUT, Lector in Archwlogy in the University of Upside, afterwards read a sket c h o f some of the most remarkable antiqui ties in the Swedish island of Gotland.

An order of the day of the Ist in the Piedmontese Gazette directs that the National Guard of Turin shall, from the 9th inst., do the service of the garrison of the capital, which is to assist part in the great manoeuvres which are to take place on the Bth, 9th, and 10th. In the sitting of the 30th ult. of the Royal Court of Florence, advocate PANATTONI, one of the counsel for GUERRAZZI and the other defendants, moved that the amnesty granted by the decree of the 21st of No vember, 1849, be extended to all his clients, seeing that the exclusions mentioned in that decree were in tended as safeguards of the constitution ; which being now abolished, all motives for exclusion had disap peared. I ❑ support of this argument, the Learned Counsel quoted the motives detailed in the report of the Minister on the question of granting an amnesty. The Advocate-General having opposed this motion the Court, after a long consultation, rejected it._ Another incidental motion was then brought forward by the counsel of MONTARIO, which related to him alone, and was intended to show that he had been prosecuted after the date of the amnesty. This ob jection was also overruled, and the Court adjourned to the following day. A letter from Mantua states that the persons on trial for being concerned in the society of death have been sentenced to capital punishment. This sentence has been sent to Marshal RADETZKY for his signa ture. It is believed that the ringleaders will alone be executed. TURKEY. The Trieste Gazette publishes a letter from Con stantinople of the 22d ult., which declares that the ex - Grand Vi z i er , RESCHID PACHA, ALI PACHA, and Pimp EFFENDI, are about to resume the places which they lately held. Mum PLCHA, the great adversary of Rescain PACIIA, is, it is said, reconciled to him. HALM PACHA is to be named to the command of the fleet. The same journal states that 5,000 persons have been deprived of their shelter in consequence of the late Tres, and the Government has been obliged to raise tents for them. The project of establishing a railway to cross Turkey, starting from Belgrade, and proceeding by Nisib, Sophie, PhilippopoliP, and Adrianople, t o C on stanti nop l e , and then pass by the Asiatic passages towards Bombay, has been pre sented to the Porte by an English company, who agree to bear the expense, estimated at 15,000,000 sterling. Several persons connected with the under taking were at Constantinople at the above date. THE AUTUMN GUIDE TO THE TURF FOR 1852, BY W.

The following particulars respecting the ports and towns of Central America, on the Pacific side, come to the point, and will assist in forming a correct estimation of the project under consideration:— San Jots, in the republic of Guatemala, is connected by carriage roads with the following towns :—Escuimla, sugar growing place, forty-five miles distant; Amatitlan seventy-two miles, and Antigua, sixty-three miles, co chineal growing place; and the city of Guatemala capital of the republic, ninety miles distant, The country's exports are cochineal, provisions, coarse woollen manu factures, &c. &c., for a value of nearly two millions. Acajatla, i n the state of Salvador, leads to the towns of Sonsanate, eighteen miles distant; Aguachapan, forty-eight miles; Santa Anna, sixty-six miles, and other large towns. The district is very well populated, and yields indigo, cattle, tobacco, sugar, balsam, provi sions, &c., &c. La Libertad, also in Salvador, is the entrance to the city of Salvador, capital of the state, distance forty-two mites. The district is rich in agricultural productions. La Union, in the same state, leads to San Miguel, forty-two miles, a town of some importance on account of its commerce, mines, and agricult ure; i n di go, sugar, cotton, tobacco, bullion, and ores are exported there from. Ls Union, or Tigre Islands, in its vici nity, is the outlet of Tegucigalpa, the principal town of Honduran, and the centre of a rich mineral dis trict. The exports of Salvador can be estimated at more than a million and a half of dollars, and those of Honduras at about one million. Realejo, in the state of Nicaragua, at nine miles dis tance from Chenandegte and thirty-eight miles from Leon, capital of the state. Nicaragua exports maho gany, dyewood, cotton, indigo, provisions, &c., for more than a million i)llars. Punta Arena., in the republic of Costa Rica, is seventy-two miles distant from San Jot& the capital, and is connected with that city and all the other towns by an excellent road. Costa Rica exports coffee, pro visions, timber, hides, &c. for nearly a million and a half of dollars. The Committee of Spanish American Bondholders have received the following communication from Mr. Lord, their agent at La Guayra, relative to the Vene zuelan Debt. Owing to the ill health of Mr. Lord, that gentleman has been compelled to resign, and the bond holders are thus deprived of the services of an indefati gable and valuable agent. In respect to the Debt of Ecuador, the committee have also received advices from Mr. Mocatta, which confirm the accounts previously received of the failure of the Flores expedition : " La Guayra, 9th Au, 1852. " Since my lines of the lith ul* I have been favoured with the committ ee ' s l etters of the Ist and 16th idem, the latter enclosing printed copies of three letters that had passed between Messrs. Frederick Huth and Co. and the provisional agency. lam looking forward with deep interest to the result of the proceedings at the public meeting of the bondholders, convened for the 20th ult., and of the interview with her Majesty's principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, which will ne cessarily follow. At the same time, I am under the necessity of making known to the committee that lam prevented by the ill state of my health from longer continuing this harrassing negotiation, and that I have been compelled to hand it over to my friends, Messrs. Boulton, Dallett, and Co., who will do whatever may be requisite, and who will continue their service s, as agents o f t h e committee, unless the committee s houldrcel prefer t o ma k e some other arrangement. I need add th a t, so long as I may be able to do so, I in willgive Messrs. B ou l ton, D allett, and Co., ever y as sistance my power. sy " I am, with great res pect, &c. (Signed) 6, ii. J. LORD."
