The DERBY Cabinet will nowhere find reason for a more onerous sense of responsibility than in refer ence to their administration of our Forty Colonies. It is a rather serious refl?cion, therefore, that at a portance, the colonial de juncture of supreme im pertinent of the British Gevernment should be pre sid-d over by a etsteeman so little known by the display of distinguished capacities as the Right Hon, &meet Sir. JOHN FAKINGTON. Fortunately, the country is already able to appreciate the merits of almost all the other conspicuous members of the Ministry. It know by many years of experience the vigorous intellect of the-Noble Earl now the Prime Minister of England. IFs capability in the conduct of affairs has been recognised in many positions of e minence and under circumstances of very extraor dinary import. His administrative skill has been re vealecj scarcely less frequently in office than his rhetorical powers have shone with peculiar splendour in debate. For testimony in regard to the former we have only to lock to the records of history during the last eight Administrations, as in regard - to the latter we need only glance very cursorily through the pages of Hansard. If nothing else testified the genius of Lord DERBY as a ruler of the land, ample evidence of that fact would be discoverable in his method of conducting the affairs of his department, as Lord STANLEY during the memorable interval when from 1841 to 1845 Sir ROBERT PEEL guided with his master-band the helm of the State, infusing so much reeelmet.. .7 and precision into the intricate operetions of the Government. Hardly less manifest by thin -time nro th e -cope and adapt a bility of those mental endowm en t s which have suddenly raised the o lt f iß t - h li e t . 1 11 1 :1 13 :1 4 c 3 7 , 11 1 m 3 Ca -a d Em to the Leadership the Exchequer.

L of which the PREMIER has marked by of lase e ne w peer to the dignity ofhis promotion Lord High Chan. c.ellot. Wit hin the p ast half- year, we have been enabled underetend the reasonswte,e(h actuated the Earl of DERBY in filli ng up, as he h as done, flee re ponsible posts of the Home and Foreig n Secretarie4. The industry of the Right Hon. Sezacn t War..Pows has not been less conspicuously shown deviate the lapse of the long vacation than th e prof:llo4l.de and patriotism of the Earl of Matee ee ., wear were rendered apparent by his resolute course in reference to the British North American Fisheries. Liberality of sentiment has been unexpectedly displayed by Mr. HENLEY. Forethought has been visible in the • policy of Mr. HEE um. Business habits of no ordinary excel lence have, to the amazement of his most prejudiced depreciat ory, been detected in Lord JOE[E. MANNERS—Io ng sneered at as an in. different rhymer an d an eccentric visionary, the prev.Z aevalier of Young E ng l an d, more eppro pi/lately costumed, it was thouifht, is s white waist. coat than in the official embroidery of the Windsor untf ,rm. Oat of the entire group of our newly gaz etted Administratora, only two have in any re ins rkable manner revealed that incapacity, or that lar ,k of common prudence, which, of all things, are assuredly the most deplorable in one of the principal members of a great Government. Public opinion has been grossly and wantonly outraged by Major BERSSPORD, as Secretary at War, while the Colonial department of the Administra.ion has been brought into grievous discredit by what would appear to be the mingled ignorance and indolence of the Right Hon. Sir JOHN PAKINGTON. The incident referred to as affecting the character of the Secretary at War cannot, of course, be duly estimated until the matter has been brought under the serious consideration of the Legislature. P. is not so, however, with the cir cumstances here implied in relation to the course pursued by the present Colonial Secretary. That course may unhoppily, even now, without any fur ther investigation by way of preliminary, be only too clearly appreciated. There is no difficulty in under standing at a glance that the conduct cf Sir JOHN PAKINGTON in abruptly, nay, even discourteously dismissing Mr. CHANDLER and his brother delegate from any further negotiations in regard to the mag nificent enterprise projected by the local Governments of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the neighbour ing provinces, must prove in the end to have been fraught with trouble to the mother country, if it do not actually lead to some such disastrous consequence as her total loss of the two Canadas. Bearing this lamentable illustration of the Ministerial incapacity of Sir JOHN PAKINGTON very vividly in our remem brance, we cannot but look forward with the most p,inful anxiety to the future ill consequences of his unaccountable elevation to the Chief Secretaryship of the Colonial Department, under the auspices of the Earl of Deanx's Administration. What naturally, or we may say necessarily, en hances our anxiety, in reference to Sir JoaN FAKING. TON, is the circumstance already specified, namely, that the present juncture in the history of the British Empire is one of very solemn and supreme importance in relation to the mode of government adopted towards our forty gigantic and widely-separated colonial pos sessions. Upon the policy of Eegland at this critical moment in the ell-important matter here partieu larizol depends the retention of those forty colonies by England, or their successive, possibly their simultaneous, severance from the rule of the British SOVEREIGN. Assuredly, therefore, it becomes the bounden duty of the PRIME MINIxTER at such a momentous period in our annals to place some more competent administrator than an intelligent Chairman of Quarter Sessions at the head of the Colonial De partment. Unless some prompt and vigorous change be made in this particular, the consequences may be as fearful as they are by the majority at this instant unanticipated. There are, undoubtedly, those amongst us who consider that it would be to the ad vantage of the United Kingdom if, one by one, we were voluntarily to relir quish our authority over our colonial possessions. Such, let us at once assert with all conceivable distinmess, are not the views with which we look forward to the maintenance of the proud position England has attained amongst the foremost of the powers of Christendom. It is in the nature of things, of course, that gradually, as time goes on, a subordinate colony should expand into an independent state, exercising the rights and privileges of irresponsible government. It was thus with the United States. It will be thus, also, when the requi site interval of development has elapsed, with the vast island, or rather the fifth continent of Australia. Nevertheless, while it would be idle to dream for a moment of interrupting the natural course of events in this direction, it is surely the part of a wise and judicious system of government to prevent anything like a precipitate severance, or a premature disrup tion. Instead of acting thus, it is to the interest of a Government like that presiding over the destinies of the British empire to endeavour by all imaginable means to preserve her connexion with her scattered dependencies for as long a period as possible intact, so that when the hour of inevitable separation arrives, the newly constituted powers should still be allied to the old mother country by the indissoluble bonds of gratitude—bonds welded by affection, and linked to gether by an unbroken series of noble and elevating associations. Bearing ourselves thus towards our re motest territories, even when the ultimate hour had arrived, even when the last of the forty colonies of Great Britain had become separated by the Jape of time, and the course of events, and the process of de velopment from the grand old state to which they h a d all of them alike at one period owned a wil liug and implicit allegiance -- England would still maintain to the last something more than the m-re shadow of her pristine glory and her ancient puissance—he would still preserve an inalienable tescause a moral predominance over her divided terri torie• —she would still continue the parent state around whose banners would throng more readily even than of old the brave descendants of the children of her soil, transplanted by her humanity into other climes, and festered by her care to the maturity of national independence. At the present juncture the DEBBY Cabinet will have immediate reason to acquit themselves with vigour, but at the same time with caution, of the enormous responsibilities to which we have above alluded—in the eastern hemisphere in reference to Hindostan—in the western hemisphere in reference to Canada—in the southern hemisphere in reference to Australia. Upon each of these important subjects we have ourselves at different times already com mented. We have examined each separately, and have explained in regard to each the nature of cur aspirations. Various other recommendations upon the same subject might doubtless be advanced with similar plausibility. What we have spoli , ?n, how ebreerra,tiwone.halvet supookwenreactsonwscitihenttihoeul Legislature, a nd wit with d e under li the guidance, or at any rate at the instigation of the Government, to investigate the matter more closely, and it is therefore with no common solicitude that we now await the speedy assembling of both Houses of Parliament—commending the great question of our colonial policy to their serious and patriotic conside ration. As CJESAR wrote to OPPIUS and asusus— " Hoc quemadmodum fieri possit, nonnulla mihi in mentem veniunt, at multa reperiri possunt; de its rebus rego . vos ut cogitationem suscipiatis." Asso ciated with this anxious consideration will come, Of course, the thought to which we must again give utterance, the thought that under these agitating cir cumstances, that at this momentous crisis, the colonial department of England is presided over by au administrator no less incompetent than the Right Hon. Sir JOHN PAKINGTON. There is nothing on which the welfare and pros perity of a nation so greatly depends as the amount of banking facilities afforded to the community. A circulating medium adequate to its wants and exi gencies is the very life-blood of industry. When that is abundant, trade flourishes, and a general ac tivity is perceptible. Every man able and willing to work is sure of obtaining employment at remunera tive wages. The natural capabilities of the country era fully developed, production increases, and the labouring populsti.m are contented an d ps , r.cPable. We rive unfortunately bad too many examples of a diVerent state of affairs, to ren der it necessary to explain the serious evils that re sult from a restricted and inadequate currency. We are but too painfully cognizant thereof. It would be a work of supererogation to explain them. Persons of all classes and stations in society, have bad bitter experience of the melancholy consequences. A shrewd , observer has stated that the comforts of working men' depended on the point whether the notes in the hands of the public amounted to 16,000,000/ or 20,000,0001., while one of the most intelligent writers on the affairs of the sister kingdom has ascribed the suffer inas of Ireland chiefly to the want of suf f icient bank ing accommodation. In tScotlandvventy..on w e 'e find that there are no less than tered and joint- s t oc k ba n ks, six char fifteen unchartered, with an aggregate capital of 13,000,0001. sterling or nearly .51. each for every individual, whether man, woman, or child of it s p opu l at i on. find that Scotland i s prosperous, Consequently we and t notwithstandingevery israneh of t industry k bleakness is s f s u o l i f y ts e]. develop e d, wtae and less advantageous gepgraphical position, it is not in Ivry respect behind England. Much of this prosperity of course ascribable to the sound common senße t great frvga. THE LONDON, SATURDAY lily, and indefatigable perseverance of the people ; but much is also owing to the numerous wealthy establishments affording every legitimate accommo dation to their customers and the country. In Ireland, on the other hand, there is but one chartered and eight unchartered banks, with an ag gregate paid-up capital of 5,000,0001., of which 2,000,0001. sterling has been borrowed by the Govern ment from the Bank of Ireland, leaving but 3,000,0001., or less than 103. per head for the use of the people. The state of the country, its wonderful natural advantages remaining neglected and uncared for, and its sturdy yeomen flying from their native land to seek a livelihood where labour is better rewarded, but too painfully indicate the deplo rable consequences of this palpable deficiency. Many of our colonies are in the same condition, although the evils are less perceptible, and the existing causes, as in Ireland, are by no means clearly understood. We rejoice to find, however, that the surplus capital now available has been in many instances directed to wards our own dependencies—lndia it is that chiefly requires it, India would afford the most beneficial channel for such investments, not only so far as the interests of the community are concerned, but also with respect to the profits to be obtained 13 . y the shareholders, a matter to which capitalists will, of course, chiefly look. On the former point our great manufacturers should bestir themselves. An adequate supply of cotton, and the removal of the practical monopoly now enjoyed by the slaveholding States of America, would be a matter of the most vital importance. The Chamber of Commerce of Manchester has fully re cognised the exigency, and acme time since deputed a gentleman of great talent and intelligence to enter upon inquiries which were unfortunately cut short by his premature death. We may, however, state, that banks and railways are all that are wanting to insure an abundant supply of the raw material of what may be termed the staple manufacture of England. If they wish to obtain tbat great desideratum, they should lend their best aid to the banks now in course of formation. The Bauk of India, which has just been brought under public notice, is brought forward under the most auspicious circumstances. Its directors are gentle men of the highest character, whose names are suffi cient to ensure the success of almost any project with which they are concerned. The Bank itself is established for the purpose of carrying on the general business of banking and exchange in India, China, the Mauritius, Ceylon, Singapore, and the other Eastern possessions of the British empire ; for receiving deposits and making remittances; for issuing notes pay able to bearer on demand ; for granting cash credits and making advances upon approved securities; for issuing circular notes payable in Europe, Egypt, the principal stations on the overland routes to India, and at the different establishments of the Bank; for grant ing drafts and credits; and for all other legitimate banking business. It will also undertake agencies for the civil and military services in India, the re ceipt and remittance of pay-pensions, dividends, &e., and the purchase and sale of European and Indian securities. There will be an ample field, an almost virgin soil for its labours. It will do more to neutralise the malign influences of the native money-lenders, and thus afford the greatest inducement to the improved culti vation of cotton, than anything that could be devised. The money employed, too, will not be carried out of the kingdom. On the contrary, it will be employed in the most unexceptionable manner for the benefit of our own people, and the myriads dependent on our rule in the Anglo-Indian Empire. We trust that this important project may obtain the success it so eminently deserves, and that it may prove the precursor of many similar establishments in the different Presidencies. 1 1 HE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The following are the latest telegraphic dispatches received by the Government : "Niorr, Oct. 13, Half-past Six P.M. " The Prince arrived at Niort at half-past five. He proceeded to the cathedral, where he was received by the Bishop of Poitiers, who came to meet him at the head of upwards of 300 ecclesiastics. The department of the Dux Sevres has shown as much enthusiasm as the de partments in its vicinity, and everywhere the Prince has been received on his passage with cries of Vire I'Empercur!' His entry into N tort was magnificent. "Poitiers, 14th, 4.45 p.m. " His Bigness entered Poitiers at a quarter. past tour, An imwense crowd thronged the ttreetB; the deputations of the rural communes, headed by barium', were passed in review on the promenade de 13lossac. The enthusi- BM is universal. From the gates of the town to the Prertcture there was only one long•continutd cry of Vivo l'Etnpereur,' and these cries are still repeated. liignnets is in perfect heal , h." The hour for the entry of Prince Louis NAPOLEON info Paris this day has been altered to two o'clock P.M. The Putrie states that in every part of Paris the workmen have applied to the authorities for permis sion to send deputations to meet the PRESIDENT on his return to Paris. In the Faubourg St. Marceau alone the number of workmen who have expressed a wish to go as a deputation amounts to 8,000. The same journal says that at the moment of the passage of the PRINCE the Orpbeonists and the Socie.e des Enfant) de Pari., placed on the Terrace of the Tuileries, will sing a chorus appropriate to the occa sion. The municipal commission of the city of Paris met on Thursday, and voted an address to the PRINCE PRESIDENT, which is to be presented on his arrived this day. The Constitutionnel has an article on the text, "the Empire is peace," showing that there will be an invasion of England, but it will be an invasion of French produce • and the Pay s , remar ki ng on th e withdrawal of produce; capital from French railways, says it has only served to demonstrate the capabilities of France to provide for her own public works. The following is the said article of the Constitu tionnel under the title of " L'Empire, c'est la Paix :" `• Three or four journals have been endeavouring for the last ten months to persuade the English people that it is,not Socialism but England that was vanquished on the 2d December. An exile, a proscrit was raised to power by the almost unanimous acclamation of France, and this man, honoured by so striking and so glorious a confidence, has not been able to think, according to his violent detractors, to devote himself to the happiness of the people who spontaneously placed him at their head. Gratitude has never animated him, a patriotic or generous idea has never en lightened his mind nor warmed his heart; one idea alone has prevailed with him from the first day, and that idea is the ruin of England. It is not to release his country from anarchy that he has thrown himself between par ties—it is to be able, at a later period, to strike at Eng land. If he has asked from the people a new ratification of his power, it is to have the right of disposing of our fleets and of our soldiers. If he has sought to re-establish order in the finances, it is to provide the sinews of war. If he has given fresh life to commerce and industry—and if he has given an immense impulse to all great public works, all these efforts, all this persever ance , h ave on l y one concealed object—the invasion of Eagland. What astonishes us in this thesis, is not its manifest absurdity —it is the invincible obstinacy with which men who think themselves serious, and that they write con scientiously, maintain it month after month, in spite of the incredulity which they meet with and the little encouragement which they receive in the public the country. R ow many timeshaveth opyinin of enumerated o. our men-of-war and our steam-vessch ?

We were replied to that peace might be at the bottom of the wishes of France without its being tho idea of the Government, The affair was put off to the 10th of May and to the 15th of August. The 10th of May and the 15th of August came, and showed some fresh progress in the public prosperity —some further steps in the path of pacific ameliorations. The declarations of t h e representatives of France, the Acts of her Go vernment, and all the policy of the President, were not, however, sufficient to tranquillise these voluntary alarmists; it WHS necessary to have the declaration of the Chief of the State himself. lie spoke utile time when France required to hear his voice and to be informed as to her destinies.

The Moniteur Rites the returns of indirect revenue for the nine montis of the present year, showing an increase over the corresponding period of the previous year of 36,684,0(0f., and over the year 1850 of 49,037,000 f. Tilt principal increase is under the bead of registry of deed!, duties, &c., being more than 12 millions. Cuaotns' returns on varioug kinds of merchandise give an increase of 94 millions, on French colonial sugars upwards of 4 millions, and on foreign sugars nearly 2 millions. There is a decline of nearly 600,000. on export duties. The salt-tax shows an increase of nearly 3 millions, and the tax on potable liquors on increase of 41 millions.

The figures must be in the French style, and form en even line at tho bolorn. The fir;nre seven will be r, live Will form a linib ni, u, or j'; nine Will be e, and the bar will help to mate up the P. it is a clever co cabinstion. Aberdeen 1001. paid Amb., Not., Bost. & E.

The !ales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 15,000 bales, of which 5,000 were taken for ex port and on speculation. The market cl o sed fi rm l y. — Railway Shares were quiet at rather easier rates. The statement made two or three days since unchr this head, that the bullion in the coffers of the Bank of England would show an increase of some amount during the week to the 9th inst, has proved correct, an d t h ere i s, likewise, a slight extension of circuluticn. The quar terly payments had not, however, proceeded up to that date to an extent that treue,ed upon the public deposits, nor was there much addition to the discount busitAss. The bullion brokers have recently been paying in large sums in gold to tteir credit at th e B ank, and hence arises the increase.

Paris, however, was rather higher, being 25 47i to 50 for 90 days' paper. Amsterdam was taken at 11 19:1 to 12 0/, Trieste at 11 45 to 50, and Haniburgh at 13 71 to 8. The letters to July 26 from Sydney, and July 17 from Melbourne, by the Overland Mail are very cheer ing upon tho subject of mining. In one week, to July 3, 400,0001. came down under Escort to Melbourne, and 160,0004 were then left behind at the diggings. The sheep owners were suffixing much for want of labour. The commercial advices from Buenos Ayres are very encouraging. At Rio the holidays were interfering with business.
