FRANCE. The following appears in the Paris correspondence of the Independance of Brussels : " The President of the Republic., on bo.aving the Champ de Mars after the ceremony, had proceeded by the Qaays to return to the Elyse..,. When nearly opposite the Allea d'Antin, the Prince perceived that the guides had gone considerably beyond the place where they should have turned to the left for the Elyse:, and that they were going to the Tuileries. lie immediately said to the General who was nearest to him, General, order them to return. I will not go to the Tuileries; it would be said, Que 1 'Empire cst fait.'" An accident, which might have been attended with fatal consequences, took place during the religious ce remony in the Cbamp de Mars on Monday. A long piece of wood, which had been loosened by the wind, was falling directly on the head of the Archbishop of Paris, when a person near turned its direction. It struck, however, the Cure of St. Eustache on the head, and inflicted a serious wound. He was imme diately taken to the Ecole Militaire and bled, and is not now in any danger. --- ii.llliniste - r of Police has adilres3ed to the pre fects of the departments a circular explaining to them, for their govermmnt, the provhi , ma of the treaties with Eogland and Hanover for the protection of copyright. _ _ _ The sister of the celebrated General Mdlle.

The number is rather considerable. The Guienne says :—" We learn from a good source that the sentence on Commandant Peyronni is commuted to banishment for ten years." The Journal du Puy-de-Mime states that General Cavaignac has purchased a fine estate near Randal), in that department, and has already arrived there with the intention of residing oa it for a considerable portion of they ear. M. de Ribeyrolles, who was principal editor of the Riforme, arrived, a few days ago, at Ostend from England with a false passport, in the name of FidZ3le. He was recognised, and arrested for using a false passport, and was immediately afterwaids compelled to re-embark for England. GERMANY. The Empress of Russia,whoarrived at Potsdam on Saturday last, is in a very weak state, hardly able to rise from her couch. Her eyesight suffers very much, one eye being very nearly lost. Altogether her vital functions are at a very low pitch, and kept from stagnation chiefly by medical stimulants. She has at length decided on taking the waters of Se.hlan genbad, on the banks of the chine. She will make a long stay in Germany, during which she will visit the Grand Duke and Duchess of WEiman, with whom she will pass the Whitsuntide. The GRIND DUCHESS, who is the sistr-in•law of the EMPRESS, has long suffered from a disease of the heart. She is now labouring under an attack of ophthalmia, and is subject to long fainting fits, whieh at times cause great alarm to her family. A circular dispatch has been sent to all the Russian diplomatic agents in Ger many to inform the princely houses and the ministers of all the states of the confederation, that the Em rims will have no receptions, the state of her health requiring the most absolute rep-s 3. There will be only a few exception; to this rule in favour of those houses to which she is related. irALy. A letter from L?ghorn of the Bth, in the Piedinon tese Gazette, states that the Grand Ducal decree abolishing the constitution having been long foreseen, Eas not produced a great impres3ion. The Conser vatore Costituzionale of Flo:ence has cssumed the name of Corriere dell' Arno. The Official Journal of the Two Sicilies of the Ist publishes a Royal decree commuting eight pu nishments, reducing one, and granting three pardons for political offerces; it grants, moreover, 41 pardons for manslaughter and ordinary transgressions. TURKEY. - A letter from Zara, of the 6th, states that colli sions have occurred in the Kadllub Gatzko, between the Turks and the Montenegrins, who have attacked various Turkish villages, and carried off 900 sheep, 90 horses, and several oxen, belonging mostly to Christians. At Nieksick, a Turkish shepherd was decapitated by them, and his 200 goats carried off. Bands of armed horsemen, the account adds, are scouring the Herz ovine in every direction. The Austrian frontier is quiet as yet. Turkish troops are expected in Albania to levy recrui`s. MINI MG INTELLIGENCE. (From the Mining Journal.)

COLONELCY OF THE SCUTS GREYS.—SpCeUlatiOn is, of course, afloat regarding the succossion to the vacant colonacy of this truly distinguished corps. Following the usual practice, it is surmised that a cdonel of one of the less profitable regiments will be removed to the 2d North British nrcgcons, and that Major-General Tay lor, C. 8., will have the vacancy so cleated. Among the gener::ls named in the reports (for none of which do we vouch), as lik;-ly t) have the Grays, are Sir H. Cumming and the Hon. H. ?Jurray, REINFoRc.EKENTs FOR JERSEY.—The depot 58th Regiment, now stationed at Canterbury, will embark at Dover on the 17th, in her Majesty's steam-ship Samp- SOn, for Jersey.

Com mander Inglefield will, in all probability, be second iu command. MELANCHOLY DEATH OF A CLERGYMAN. EXETER, THURSDAY.—A. general gloom has bean thrown over this city, by the intelligence of the death of a clergyman who was not better known than he was universally esteemed and beloved. It appears that on Saturday morning the Rev. J. H. S. Burr, who was a priest vicar of Exeter Cathedral, left his residence in Colleton-erescent, to proceed to Porthleven, near Hela ton, in Cornwall, to supply the place of the Rev. J. L Wiliam, the incumbent, who is absent on account of ill-health. On Sunday Mr. Burr did duty for the reverend gentleman. He was lodging in a small house which overlooked the sea, and about half-past eight on Tuesday morning he went out to indulge in sea-bathing, of which he was particularly fond. This part of the coast, however, is very dangerous, from sunken rock, and rapid currents, and Mr. Williams had earnestly re presented to lir. Burr, on previous occasions, the great danger, and had begged him not to bathe without taking very great precau-tiees. Mr. Barr. however, who had the reputation of being en c xpert swimmer, is stated to have been of a venturesome disposition, and to bo undeterred by any of the fears for his safety which were entertained by his friends. On Tuesday morning ho had been invited to breakfast at the parsonage, but not appearing at the tine appointed, a servant was sent to his lodging to make inquiries. On learning that he had not re turned from bathing, alarm was immediately fel-, aLe some of his fri.rrids hastened to the spot in the direo lion which he had Leon last seen. They found his clothes upon the beach, and hi 3 faithful dog—a slued white ter rier—still guardieg them. Nothing could be seen of she nnfnztueate gentleman, and the sea was sa rough that the boatmen could net put out in any small boatx. However, search was prosecuted, and at a late hour in the afternoon the body was discovered, carried ta the rapidity of the currant a distanc-s of two mileri from the sp:;t where the clothes and dog were found. Tho Rev. Can o n Rogers, who resides within a m il e , was promptiS, engaged in assisting and superintending the search, end the di;eovery of the body was imme diately communicated to Mr. Burr's friends in Exeter. What aggravates the distressing character of th e event is the circ u m s t ance th a t Mrs. Sur was absent, v i s i t i ng her friends in F ra nc e , when the arrangements were made for the deceased's visit to PortLven. Mrs. Burr re:nrned unexpectedly to Exeter on Saturday morning, after her husband had left for Cornwall. LONDON MISSIONARY SOCIETY. STATE OF TAHITI.

Tho report then explained the position of Tahiti at the present time, which it ap peared had bacome vary difficult and embarrassing under the present French Governor. The labours of the missionaries ware restricted to certain Ina bides, and the people were restricted to certain localities, and practically prohibited from rendering any assistance to their pastors, and as those restric tions were framed and passed in the assembly of na tive chiefs, but in which the influence of the Gover nor was paramount', they had all the authority of native law. Such proceedings were obviously at vd riance with th e or i g i na l t rea ty made by the Queen with French authorities, in which the unrestaic!ed free dom of the British missionaries was guaranteed ; but the . events which had occurred in France during the last leL months, had deterred the directors, for the present, fromeiv oseoevkairnugmarnedt.resos On May the int ' enventiou of o . ur . gave instructions fora fete in celebration r a i l: o d a n t , b e r a e a f v o "' I T of the Republic, o 4 e , i t e h b e ratiooof Governor of Tahiti the anniver- Sabbath b y soleeh occurred on the Sunday, r o e the missionaries, both English and Arne on thatrulling the natives council not to profane the themselves up with it, as it oc . earned prosecuted af o ay.

I -- 12” MALVERN.—A serious accident, showing the evil consequences of drunkenness, occurred to a man named William Jones, on the night of Sunday week. It seems that while in a state of intoxication he was walking up the yard of the Unicorn Inn, when he fell down into another yard at the back of Mr. Stannah's shop , a distance of about thirty feet. One of his legs was broken below the knee and one of his fingers, and he also sustained other severe injuries. TUE SEWERS or LONDON.—On Sunday night last, London was unbearable; a fearful effluvium from tke sewers interestingto o t penetrated everywhere. We had personal experience of it for several mil es on t h e western s id e o f the metropolis, and have heard tracefrem various i o t t s he a r e s tu in aleffecton quarters.

COURT OF (Sittings at Nisi MALTA., MAY 11.—The Spiteful steem-sloop left us on Friday last with letters for the admiral and fleet, which was, by advices received through a merchant ship, lying at Tunis. Oa board the Spiteful hie Lordehip the:iiishop of Gibraltar had taken passage, intending to visit parts of his diocess, then to proceed to Gibraltar, where he would, as is his custom, pass the heats of summer. A proclamation by his Excellency the Governor an nouncing that the Malta Militia Bill had received the approbation of the Queen in Council, was published on the sth inst., together with a Government notice con taining regulations for its organization. The training is to be confined to exercise suited fur defence, but not to extend to battalion movements. The town portions will consist of six companies of artillery; one of the Great Harbour, and ono of the Quarantine, divided by the Strada Reale; a company of Ifloriana, Vittotiasa, Senglea, and Cospicua. The country portion will consist of infantry, formed into companies according to districts or cesals, but at No• tabile (Citta Vecchia) and Gee.), there will be a portion of artillery. Words of command to be in English. Books for en rolment aro open in the police offices of Valetta and Cospieua, but scarcely 100 arc entered. By the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Ripon, Captain Christie, of the Royal Artillery, takes passage. A Board of Heald' has sat on this officer, end change of climate is strongly recommended General Perezel, who so,nauch distinguished himself by his military services in the late Hungarian revolu tion, and who, with his wife and three children, has been resident in Malta for the last two months, also takes passage to England by the company's steamer. The general is the last of the refugees who was detained in Turkey. The French fleet has passed the island, bound, it is said, to ports on the coast of Africa, and under orders to reach Algiers early in June, but not before. It com prises, as is said, three line-of-battle-ships three deckers, three line-of-battle-ships two-deckers, and a beautiful screw steamship, brig rigged. The Banshee carries oa the mails received per Ripon, and destined to be sent through France from Marseilles. The Scourge has left Corfu for Athens and Constan tinople, and expects to return early in June to Corfu. PORTSMOUTH', MAY 16.—The Philomel, 10, Com mander G. T. Forbes, arrived at Spithead yesterday af ternoon from the West Coast of Africa station with mails and dispatches of considerable importance. She sailed from Sierra Leone on the Ist ult., at which date the Penelope, 16, Captain Lyster, carrying the broad pendant of Commodore Bruce, Commander-in-Chief ; the Dolphin, 3, Lieutenant Commander Temple ; the Sealark, 8, Commander E. S. Sotheby ; and the French Commodore in a steam frigate, were there. Exchanges at that date was par on England. The Philomel put in at no intermediate port. Commander Forbes of the Philomel, and Mr. Tcedie, the purser, have lately re turned from a mission to Abomey, endeavouring to conclude a treaty with King Gezo for the suppression of the slave trade. The slavo trade abolishment his Mejesty signed, but the condition relative to missiona ries, residences, schools, and burial grounds he would not sign. Treaties have also been concluded with the chiefs of Great Popoe and Little Popoe, Aghway, Goom-a-Loota, Segora, Affia-hoo, Adeffi, Elmina Chita, and Blook-hoose, and the Philomel has brought home the dispatches relative thereto. She also brings the rather unexpected intelligence—after what we have heard of his previous apparent goodwill—of the celelirated King of Dahomey having ordered the British Vice-Consul out of his dominions. When the Philomel left the station his Dahomean Majesty's porta were being blockaded by the British in conse quence. The slaver-cruisieg squadron is very healthy, but they are somewhat dissatisfied with the dulness of the station, owing to no prizes being made. The Phi lomel has been remarkably healthy, not having lost any officer or man by fever during her service on the coast. She has brought home Commander Marshall (late Lieu tenant of the Penelope), on promotion, both officers having been engaged and wounded in the late affair at Lagos. She has also brought home Dr. Sloss, Assistant Surgeon of the Alecto steam-sloop, and the witnesses for a trial to take place on Spencer, a stoker of the same vessel, on a charge of murder of an able seaman of the Alecto named Abel Potts. The Sampson steam-frigate, 6, Captain L. T. Jones, having taken on board a quantity of tables, stools, and an extra galley for the us e o f troops s h e i s to embark for the Channel Islands and Queenstown, sailed last evening about nine o'clock for Dover, where she will embark the 54th Foot for Jersey. The following acting -mates and midshipmen passed in navigation for lieutenants at the Royal Naval College last week :—Messrs. A. J. Chatfield, R. M. Gibson, F. A. Maxse, J. B. Balfour, E. Squeri, W. A. Smyth, R. 0. Leach, C. C. Robinson, C. Fitton, W. Vicary, R. R. Hartwell, Viscount J. Gilford, and H. Huxhem. The following second masters, R.N., also passed at the same time for masters t—Messrs. C. M. Hughes, H. Bond, H. B. Boxer, and 11. D. Sarratt. The following young gentlemen also qualified for entry into her Majesty's service as naval cadets, and have joined the Victory until appointed to seagoing ships:—Messrs. J. Hawkins, C. A. Watts, E. B. Pusey, W. 8011, J. E. Erskine, L. J. Evans, and F. S. D. Broughton. The Basilisk steam-sloop arrived to-day from Ply mouth. The Centaur steam-frigate, Captain Cannon, flag of Rear-Admiral Henderson, C. 8., was at St. Catherine's, Brazil, on the Ist ult., where she had been staying a few days on her way to Rio de Janeiro from the River Plate. She left Monte Video on the 21saof March, and unless unforeseen circumstances took her again to La Plata before the usual season, it was the intention of the Ad miral to pass the next five or six months at or in this neighbourhood of Rio de Janeiro. All were well on board. She arrived at Rio on the 13th. ult, but finding fever still prevalent she was to sail that day week for Ballia, which was healthy. The Plumper, 11, Com mander Nolloth, is on her way home. It is reported that Captain Blackwood, late of the Victory, will take the command of the next expedition to Bohring's Straits should one be sent to the relief of that of Captain Collinson and Commander M'Clure; and that Commander Englefield will be the second in com mand; also that Captain Giffard, and the officers and crew of the Dragon steam frigate, on arrival from Lis bon, will be turned over to the new steam frigate Tiger at this port. PLYMOUTH, SATURDAY, MAY 15.—Her Majesty's steamship Highflyer, Captain Matson, left the Sound on Thursday for Portsmouth. The Rodney, 92, Captain C. Graham, continues ie the Sound. The ship Calcutta, having been unmasted, has been warped to the jetty previously to being placed in dock. DEVONPORT, MAY 14.—The Dauntless, steam-frigate, Captain H a lsted, sailed from Davenport, for Galway, on Friday last , to su pp ress some distu rbances amongst the fishermen. The Rochester, lighter, sailed the same day for Chathein. Her Majesty's steam-ship Brisk put into Kingstown Harbour on Friday, for a supply of coal. She was 24 hours making the passage from Glasgow to that port. She is not not yet out of the hands of the riggers. The Crown, Dawson, master, bound from Liverpool to N e w York, put into Passage on Wednesday last, with sails and spars much damaged. This vessel bore up from the longitude of 14 west, with 501 passengers on board; two of them are sick with the small pox, and one child died at sea. She sailed from Liverpool on the 22d ult., and experienced very strong gales on the 9th an d 10th inst , in which she lost her sails and spars. She is 1,300 tons register, and carries a burden of 1,800 tons. SHEERNESS, MAY 16.—Her Majesty's screw steam frigate Horatio, Captain the Hon. S. T. Carnegie, ar rived hero yesterday morning on her return from her trial cruise, which we hear has been satisfactory. Her speed under canvas, with the wind on the quarter, a veraged 9f knots p er h our, although her screw- pro peller, being a slight degree under water, doubtless im peded her progress. When under steam, and working expansively, elle made eight knots an hoar nearly, her consumption of fuel being extremely small. For the purpose for which she was intended—that of a block ship—she is well calculated in every essential point of view. Lord CAMPBELL (interrupting him), asked whether he intended to appear as a witness to establish the case? If so, a serious question might arise. The law now permitted, as he thought very properly, the parties in the cause to be witnesses; and that being so, it was a serious question whether they could also be counsel for themselves. He did not know whether there was any case on the subject. Mr. PRENTICE mentioned the case of Miss Hoare, where the Court of Common Pleas had refused to allow the same person to act as counsel and witness in her own cause. Lord CAMPBELL—I am of that opinion, and rule that the plaintiff here cannot address the jury as an advocate, and then be examined as a witness. I think that fur the sake of the pure administration of justice that rule must be laid down. To permit a party to address the jury, tx. , iting the feelings and passions of his hearers, and commenting on the evidence to be given, and then to give that evidence himself, would, in my opinion, lead to most inconvenient const,ci tences, and would pollute the stream of justice. There is especially no necessity fur such a proceeding iu a case like the present. Mr. Calm t sues in forma par peris and the gentleman who of rtilicd to enable him to du so would, I am sure, be ready to appear for him, and would couduct his case as zealously as if he had the richest man in the kingdom for a client. I therefore rule that a party cannot be both advocate and witness in his own cause. I ask you, Mr. Cobbett, whether you intend to offer yourself as a witness? Mr. Cobbett—Not. after that ruling, my Lord; but I hope that you Will receive a bill of exceptions, that the point may be argued. Lord CAMPBELL—I give you the choice to advocate or witness, but I will not permit you to be both. Mr. WATSON (who with Mr. Unthauk appeared for the defendant) said that as Mr. Cubbett was not pro vided with counsel, he would consent to the postpone ment of the trial. Mr. Cobbett - d - id not accept this offer, but proceeded to address the jury. The cause of action consisted of a variance between a statement made by the defendant in his return to the writ of habeas corpus, and the commit ment on which that return was founded. The return set forth that he (Mr. W. Cobbett) bad been brought to the bar of the Court of Exchequer on the 11th of June, 1840, and then committed to the Queen's Prison, at the suit of Jesse Oldfield, for contempt. Now the warrant of commitment, which ought to set out all tho facts, did not state that he had been so brought to the bar of the court. The copy of the warrant of commitment was put in; it did not state that the present plaintiff was brought to the bar of the court and committed. Captain Hudson, the defendant in the action, was called to produce these and other papers. On cross examination by Mr. Watson, he stated that he had had six or eight actions brought against him by Mr. Cob.; bett, who had also sued out from sixty to eighty writs of habeas corpus. Mr. WATSON, in addressing the jury, said that the pre sent plaintiff must have been brought to the bar of the court in order to be committed; but the fact should be put beyond all doubt, by a witness who was in court at the time, and who saw him brought into court and com mitted, and who therefore would satisfactorily prove the truth of the return. Mr. Wetherall, an attorney, whose; father was con cerned for Mr. Oldfit.ld, said that be was present in the Court of Exchequer on the day is question, and saw Mr. Cobbett brought to the middle of the court, and then ordered to be committed. Mr. Cobbett replied. Lord CAMPBELL summed up, and The jury gave a verdict for the defendant, on two counts in the declaration; there was a third count, which had been demurred to, and on which the damages were assessed at one farthing. Lord CAMPBELL said that, now the case was over, ho mutt express his feeling that this was a most melancholy exhibition, proving how a beneficial law might be perverted. Here was a gentleman who, notwithstanding being defeated in six or eight actions, and issuing in vain 60 or 80 writs of habeas corpus, still continued and persevered in a course of useless and annoying litiga tion; and here was the respectable defendant, the keeper of the Queen's Prison, the subject of these actions, who would have been totally ruined by them if his costs were not defrayed by the Government. There ought to be some means adopted to prevent such an abuse of the law. CENTRAL CRIMINAL. COURT. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Baron PLATT.) William Hall, 23, barman, was indicted for feloni ously uttering a forged 51. Bank of England note, with intent to defraud the governor and company of that cor poration. Mr. Clarkson conducted the prosecution; Mr. Parry was counsel for the prisoner. It appeared that about ten o'clock at night, en the 13th of April, the prisoner went into the shop of Mr. Massey, a tobacconist, and who also keeps a betting list, in Ox ford-street, and wished to take the odds against Nancy for the Chester Cup to the amount of 103., and he handed over what appeared to be a Si. note to pay the amount. Mr. Massey had some suspicion of the genuineness of the note, and he asked the prisoner to remain in the shop tt hil-3 he got change, and he went out for that pur pose; and his suspicions being further increased by the opinions of his neighbours to whom he showed the note, he proceeded at once to the police sta'ion, %hero to obtained the assistance of an officer, and the prisoner was taken into custody. In answer to a question put to him by the officer, the pri soner said that he was a journeyman printer, and thst it turned out that he gave a f a l se name an d a dd ress , an d u h p e o w n a h s i 6 s u b t ei o n f w:grskke and wai living upon his money, but d where he had got the forged note from, ho sail that was his business, and ho should de cline giving any answer. The prisoner was examined before a msgistrate, and, in consequence of a report of the proceedings appearing in the newspapers, Mr. Gas c. igne, a butcher, in the Curtain-road, Shoreditch, came forward and identified the prisoner as a person who had passed a forged Si. notp at his shop on the 10. h April, in payment of a leg of lamb. Mr. PARRY cross-examined the witnesses who were called to prow) the uttering on the 10th of April, and iden tityen- deavoured of the defence, priso h n e e called r three wit n e sse s, to show that th e y were m i s t a k en i n the and, having addressed the jury f or who swore that on the night in question the prisoner was in company with thi m at a public-house playing at cribbage at the time when ho was represented to have been passing the forged note to Mr. Gascoigne. The Learned JUDGE having summed up, the jury, aher a short deliberation, returned a verdict of Guilty; and the prisoner was sentenced to be transported for 10 years. Her Majesty's steam tug vessel African, Second Master Gill, left port on Friday, at 1.15 P. 3., for Greenhithe, for the purpose of assisting in towing to Chatham her Ma jesty's ship Hercules. A gale of wind from the south-west set in here on Thursday night, and increased the following day to such an extent as to render it necessary for the Wa terloo, 120, London, 90, and Monarch,B4, to strike their topgallant masts and point their yards to the wind. Com munication with the ships lying here was with difficulty accomplished during the greater part of Friday. It moderated in the evening of that day, and on the follow ing morning the ships sent up their topgallant masts and squared yards. Her Majesty's ship Hercules, having discharged her stores, &c., at Greenhithe, arrived hero yesterday at one P. 31 ,in tow of the African and Monkey steamers, and anchored off Standgato Creek, She is to undergo a thorough refit at Chatham, where she was built, as far back as 1815, by the then surveyors of the navy, as a 72-gun ship, and has for a long tune past been employed as a store-ship. She was lately navigated from Malta by a party of officers and men belonging to the Que en , who are to be sent to Portsmouth im a steamer specially placed at their disposal. Vice-Admiral the Hon. Josceline Percy, Commander in-Chief at the Nore, returned from town yesterday at 3 P.M. The broad pendant of the Hon.

LORD DERBY'S ADMINISTRATION. It must be eentesst d that there is a great diffieuli in dealing with Lord Derby's Administration. As far as wo are concerned, it is some comfort to know, in tla first place, that an had no hand in creating the difficulty, and, in the second place, that it is universal. Lord John, his auxiliaries, his supporters, and his very colleagues, chose to quarrel among themselves, and, like a mutinous crew, surrender the ship to a foe of inferior numbers, metal, and weight. That was the disagreeable and un looked-for incident to which the present Ministry owes its accession to power, and which is not very unlike the circumstances of Lord John Russell's own acces sion to power six years since. But the minority solemnity how intowas it office to m b d e th t r e d a u t e e d ? constitutional the From first we saw ore thing which appeared to he gene rally ove;looked, and which diminished the diffi culty, so far as it reduced the number of possible alternatives. We saw that Lord Derby and his friends were in, and could no longer be treated as out. So little WAS this fact realised that we remember seeing in a clever contemporary in March an application of the well-known stanza on the comparative advantages of shutting the door against a lion, or Jetting him in and then turning him cut. Our contemporary recommended without hesitation the former of these two courses, wholly forgetting that the opportunity had passed, and the latter alone was possible. What wo have now to deal with is a lion in actual possession, the old British lion. Now, naturalists tell us that it is a popular error to suppose the lion the noblest and bravest of animals. He has not a spark of generosity in his nature. Ho is a ferocious, cowardly, sneaking brute, with all the vices of the whole feline family, but as much without either the desperate courage of the tiger or the gentleness and docility of the smaller cat species. Such, then, being by hypothesis the animal its possession of our house, the question is, how are we to deal with him? We recommended fair play, for the obvious reason that fair play was the constitutional basis on which the Ministry rested. Parliament, having admitted it to power, could not with decency, or even self-respect, stultify itself by immediately reversing its own act. It remained, also, to be seen how the new Government would act, and what colours it would show. Here again, however, we were met by the cry that fair play did not apply to the like of these seen. Fair play was for those for whom we had sympathies, and who could feel sympathies for us. It was insisted that we should treat them as vermin, pirates, and other hostes humani genenis; that we should stop their supplies, starve them, poison them, or knock them on the head with the first stick or stone that came in our way. Bus unless we were to act from mere antipathy, the supposition of the new Ministers being vermin did not materially affect the practical difficulty. Suppose them to be vermin. If there is no such thing as a moral law with vermin, there is yet a law of expediency. It is true that we so more think of the sixth commandment when we order a battue of rats than we do of the eighth when we rob a hive of its honey; but it may be inexpe dient to destroy even rats without duo consideration. For example, it we poison then; they will die in their holes, and leave cx ossibus alter in the shape of an in tolerable stench. It is a question whether rooks, spar rows, and other destructive birds can be wholly destroyed without increasing some still more destructive insect tribes. The children of Israel,having received a general commission to extirpate all the Canaanites, were, nevertheless, forbid to do so all at once lest the beasts of prey should multiply upon them. This club law, then, this argument a baculo, did not really apply, for it might be e x p e di ent to g i ve not only fair play, but a considerable digree of tether, or " a length of rope," it is sometimes called, to Lord Derby's Administration. We believed, and we still believe, it expedient to allow them every opportunity of clearing and declaring themselves, end of reaffirming or repu diating their errors. They had been on the waver for a long time, and latterly had been shifting" their ground quite as fast as the intelligence or the forbear ance of their supporters would allow. It was no new thing, too in the history of British politics that a part) in power should repudiate or forget the extreme opi nions and the plausible intentions it had professed in Opposition. Indeed all parties do that, and it is sup. posed to be one of the peculiar advantages of our con stitutional system, that it gives our legislators the alter nate opportunities of learning the abstract principles of political science on one side of the House, and their practical application on the other. Bat if there was no antipathy of nature, no moral vengeance to be immediately put in force against these men, and if expediency suggested that we should wait, self-preservation requires that we should not allow our selves to fall into the power of those whom we have merely admitted on trial. It is very true that we shell never be really in the power either of Protectionists or of a Protectionist policy, for unquestionably the country at large would soon take that question out of the hands of any Parliament; but it is not the less improper to recommend a course so dangerous as to involve the pos sibility of a violent remedy. It is clear that unless we have very good reason to trust her Majesty's present advisers, we cannot contemplate with pleasure the prospect of having them as our absolute masters. If Lord Derby should find himself in a decided majority next aession, with his supporters un fettered and obeda nt, and should he in the intoxication of power attempt the grand project of reversing our free -trade policy, that would be about as great a national calamity and as dangerous a crisis to cur institutions as the most disappointed Chartist could possibly desire. But the truth must be spoken. We cannot trust Lnrd Derby's discretion not to make this attempt. Wo ought not to trust any man, or put our selves in the power of any man. England ought not to be placed at the mercy of any dux m gontlmen what ever; but if any doz en gent l emen are to b e trusted, it is too clear that these dozen gentlemen are not. They are at variance with ono another, and with themselves; they confess wishes at variance with their intentions; they hat e one language for the rational part of the llouse of Commons, and another for the irrational part of the constituency; they can hardly be made to feel that they are in a minority. Are such mon to be trusted?' Cer tainly not. The natural solution of the present difficulty, as it appears to us, is that ev, , ry constituency in the country, in which Free-traders are strong enough for the pur pose, should exact from candidates the mist explicit re nunciation of Protection, in any shape whatever, direct or indirect. That is the question to be decided by the country; that is the object of the dissolution; and that appears to us the proper mode of answering the appeal. Lord Derby's friends are sedulously preaching, on the one hand, that the question for the country is, whether it has confidence in his Government; Sir James Graham, on the other hand, is as anxious to persuade the country to put only this question, " Are you a sup porter of Lord Derby's Government?" This, how ever, is a question, not of men, but of measures. This grand constitutional reference to the great court of the people is not for the purpose of deciding whether Lord Derby, or Lord John Russell, or Sir James Graham, or somebody else shall be First Lord of the Treasury for the three or four years to come, but to decide whether the focd and industry of a whole people are to be taxed for the special advantage of any one class. Let pledges be framed to meet that question, and let them be obtained from as many as possible of the 658 Members of the next Parliament. As to the particular men, or the particular measures that will prevail next year, no mortal can pretend to foretel them, and it is vain to think . of fixing them now ; b ut such a course as we have indicated will certainly preclude the possibility of Protection or of any Cabinet favourable to its resto ration.—Times, RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS.

There aro now three candidates, the sitting Members and Mr. Cobbett. SHEFFIELD.—The sitting Members for this borough will have to encounter a most formidable opposition at the ensuing election. A movement, originating in the dissatisfaction on the part of some of the Dissenters of the town with the conduct of Mr. Roebuck, has resulted in Mr. George Hadfield, of Manchester (in compliance with a requisition said to have been signed by 1,300 electors), again announcing himself as a candidate. Mr. Hadfield has addressed meetings in various parts of the borough, and boasts of having already obtained two thousand pledges out of a constituency of under five thousand. Mr. Overond, the Free-trade Conservative candidate, has been presecuting a personal canvass of the electors, and has met with great success. In this state of affairs the friends of Mr. Roebuck deemed it desirable that he should take the field an d accordingly on Thursday evenin g h e a dd resse d a meeting convened in the Town Hall. In reply to a seriss of questions, the Hon. Gentleman denied having made a coalition with Mr. Parker. He had stated his opinions, and he knew nothing of anything else. Neither could he pretend to define Mr. Parker's princiilles, nor state how often Sheffield had been disfranchised by their giving oppo site votes. A r e sol u ti on o f confidence in Messrs. Roe buck and Hadfi e ld was carr ied by a majority, amid cheers and disapprobation. Yanstotera.—Admiral Sir Charles Napier and Mr. W. T. McCullagh, M.P., have just issued addresses to the electors and men of Yarmouth, thanking them for their numerous direct promises of support; and stating that as soo n as Parliament is dissolved they will appear among theta as candidates. THE COUNTRY MARKETS. LivEarooL, MAY 15.—A firm feeling is shown by holders of flour to day, but no change to quote in the value of any article. MANCHESTER, Alas 15.—Throughout the week the trade has conti nue d i n a very lif e l ess state. Factors, however, have not shown any anxiety to press sales at materially lower rates ; but in the limited business passing buyers have had the turn of prices in their favour on most articles. Coastwise and from Ireland the arrivals at Liverpool and Runcorn are scanty, bet from abroad we have to notice a further large supply of flour from America, together with liberal quantities of wheat and Indian corn. Our market this morning was of a languid eharacte , -, and on wheat and flour we note a reduc tion of Id per 701 h and 6J per sack respectively. Oats and beans, owing to the favourable change in the weather, moved off slowly at barely last week's rates; whilst oatmeal, although in modera'e demand, fully maintained its previous value.
