It is intended by Government that, this evening, the House shall go into Committee on the Militia Bill, so that the Hosts SECRETARY'S scheme for re organizing the national defences may be consolidated into a mlbtantial enactment with SIS much rapidity as is compatible with the ordinary regulations of the Legislature. In all this it is manifest that the Cabinet is somewhat inconsistent in the policy sketched out at the commencement of the session by the First Lord of the Treasury. Dil atory in all other particulars, the Ministers Would seem only to be precipitate in reference to the very subject, which, from its peculiar intricacy an d importance, most imperatively demands delheration The question of h e . trade, for sampit, is rs:ine4 t o t a li Coluory.,' THE SUN, The question of Parliamentary reform is " referred to the country." The question of sanitary improve ment is " referred to the country." The questions of education, of taxes on knowledge, of the grant to Maynootb, of the ballot, nay, of the very stability of the new Administration, are all of them, in like manner, " referred to the country." Even the budget introduced to the consideration of Parliament on Friday evening by the CHINCELLOU of the EXCHEQUER, constitutes a reference of the more prominent difficul ties of our system of finance to the judgment of the country, as is manifest from the circumstance of its being purely and simply provisional in its character. The question of our national defences, the question, perhaps, of all the most earnestly requiring care and foresight in its solution —is the solitary exception in this comprehensive and wholesale project of procrastination. So enormous is the respon sibility attached to the measure affecting the status of the militia in the United Kingdom, that it led very recently to the destruction of a Cabinet which had survived six years of violent and pertinacious opposition. Yet, with an example like that before them, Lord DEBT and his colleagues are hurrying forward a Bill scarcely one jot less crude in its provisions than the one fatally introduced by the leader of the late Administration. Remembering the facts here particularized, we are surely justified in asserting that the Conservative Government is re vealing upon this point very little consistency. Happily there are those in the House of Commons who, however mistaken themselves in regard to the best means of securing the shores of England from inva sion, are so resolute in their determination to obstruct the proposed enactment affecting the militia, as to refer it also, if possible, in company with many other matters of importance, to the consideration of the country immediately after the approaching dis solution. In earnest of this resolve on the part of the inde pendent representatives, we find among the notices of motion in the House of Commons for this evening no less than seven amendments for the Bill to be deliberated upon in Committee. Six are for innova tions in the measure when it actually shall be sub mitted clause by clause to the notice of the House by the Chairman—these amendments being respectively announced by the Hon. Members for Lincoln, for Bury St. Edmunds, for Evesham, for Oldham, for West Kent, and for Haddingtoashire. Before any of these suggestions can be made, how ever, before even the House can form itself into a Committee for the consideration of the Bill before it, another amendment, the first on the list of those relating to the measure in question, will be introduced by the Hon. Gentleman the Represen tative for the West Riding of Yorkshire. Upon the decision of Parliament as to this suggestion of Mr. COBDEN will depend the maintenance or the abandon ment of the Bill brought before the Legislature by her MAJESTY'S Government. From its importance, therefore, in this respect, we may be allowed to repro duce here the amendment in extenso, it being " For re turns stating the names, armaments, number of crews and officers of all her MAJESTY'S ships then employed on active service, the stations on which they are em ployed, and the length of time each vessel has been employed on each station respectively, distinguishing steam-vessels from sailing vessels, and also steam vessels propelled by screws from those propelled by paddle wheels, and stating the. nominal hone power of the engines of each vessel ; the names of all reserve or advance ships, with the ports at which they are now placed, and a statement of the periods which would be required to send them to sea in a fit state for active service. And that the consideration of the Bill in Committee be postponed until after the pro duction of such return." There is considerable ingenuity in the line here adopted by Mr. COBDEN with a view to set aside the Mi litia question, or rather we should say, 1 the whole of the very difficult and embarrassing question affecting our national defences, until such time as the people shall have been directly consulted in the matter in the process of the general election. While we consider it to be peculiarly injudicious to hasten through both Houses a measure concocted with undue precipitation, we are, at the same time, most solicitous that there should not be any lengthened delay in bringing the question at issue to 9. definite and comprehensive settlement. Up(in the advisability of effecting some change for Ithe better organization of the National Defences of the United Kingdom we are ail of us united. Those who think otherwise, at least, are so very inconsider able a minority, that the country may be said to be in this matter unanimous. It is incumbent upon the Legislature and the Government, therefore, that while they guard themselves from hasty and ineffectual efforts to secure and increase the defensive capabili ties of the empire, they should no t , in so doing, delay indefinitely, or through negligence, the endeavour to bring the matter, now for some period discussed, to a satisfactory conclusion. Let us have the Militia Bill if you please, bat let it be one reveali ng more deliberate preparati on than either th e Militia Bill of Mr. WALPOLE or the Militia Bill of Lord JOAN RUSSELL. Let us have a new system of National Defences by all means, but let it be one rationally in accordance with our wants, as well as with our capabi lities, as an insular power, a system affecting scarcely so much the military as the maritime force of the United Kingdom, securing to us thc indubitable ad vantages of a Standing Navy, and of more judiciously organizing the Marine Artillery. Had the Budget, which on Ftiday evening elicited the almost unanimous approbation of the House of Commons, emanated from Sir CIIARES WOOD, or either his immediate predecessors, it would, most probably, have been very severely criticised. Its very favourable reception was, in a great degree, ascribable to the fact that it was but a " provisional budget," and that there were existing circumstances which, if they did not altogether justify, at least gre atly extenuated the adoption of a "standstill policy." It could not be forgotten that the Right Honourable Gentleman bad to face a hos tile majority, who could be arrayed against him on any feasible excuse, and that the Ministry were to some extent pledged not to introduce any very im portant changes during the present session. The na ture of the opposition to which they had been sub jected at the very commencement of their career had tied up their hands against the introduction of any great fiscal changes, even if the recent accession to office by the Minister more immediately responsible for boob changes had enabled him to mature a large and comprehensive scheme for the management of the national finances. The validity of the excuse was admitted on every side, and the grace and eloquence and modesty with which the subject was introduced, so very different from any that had been perceptible of late years on similar occasion', completed the charm and gained for the Right lion. Gentleman the brilliant triumph of which he may be justly proud. But such excuses cannot be again admitted if MI% DISRAELI should once more have to address a financial statement to the House. In proportion to the i n d ulgence extended to him in the present in stance, so gr ea t w ill b e t h e expectat i on for th e future. H e was allowed to escape chiefly on the ground that he was engaged in a searching investigation into the entire system of taxation, with a view to its revision, and that the grand result might be en dangered by any premature interference with his plans. It was this feeling that induced Honourable Gentlemen to listen patiently to a proposition for re newing the income-tax without change or modifica tion for another year —t o continue its un j ust an d oppressive enactments until the report of the Counnittee, so l has been p u bli s h e d an d maturely and the he voice of public opinion h as pro nounced judgment there on. considered,Cg withheld, that it would h ave a t ri f w t o h u e la C i o la m v m e i b tt e e e e n , We confess we had hoped b ee n otherwise ; that as ~ the Right Honourable Gentleman su ffi c i en tly acquainted with the feelings of its members on the subject of the equal taxation of every descrip tion of income, to have introduced some immediate alteration, so that although the Bill for the renewal of the impost might not be put forward a s a perfect measure, or ono that would be p ermane ntly adopted it might at least be re ndered less palpably inequitable that any of its predecessors. It would be p a yi ng a very bad compliment to the Committee to suppose that any large proportion of its members could justify the pig,Livg i l / 2 -, the a OW the dividndo (row t4O LONDON, public funds, or the ground rents of well-circumstanced real estates, with the fluctuating and precarious profits of industry, in some cases, as with literary men and artists, exhausting the very sources from whence they were obtained. That flagrant grievance cannot be suffered to continue much longer. We have it on the authority as well of the Right Hon. Gentleman himself as of his colleague, the Pre sident of the Board of Control, that the tax cannot be rendered permanent unless an adequate remedy be Provided for the admitted evil. It cannot, therefore, under any circumstances, be tolerated for more than the single year for which it has been asked ; and the great question now is, whether it may not yet be altered so as to give some little instalment of justice to the sufferers, notwithstanding the refusal of the Minister of Finance to introduce the change until after the appeal to the country. On this print we may remark that there is at this moment neither income or property-tax in existence —both expired on the sth of April last. The neces ,ity for the revival of the charge on accumulated and realised property is, we believe, universally admitted. Oa that point there is no dispute or difficulty. Nothing could be more injurious to the national credit, and, we may add, the national prosperity, than :he deficiency that must necessarily arise, should the matter be suffered to remain in abeyance. It would, in fact,' prevent the possibility of those fiscal reforms that are so urgently required, and anxiously looked for by the country. But it is altogether different with respect to " income"—of course, when capital is in any degree required in the acquisition of that income, it should contribute its just proportion to the public revenue. There might be some little difficulty in making a perfectly equitable arrange ment on this point, but it could, we believe, be easily surmounted, and, at all events, it cannot for a moment be tolerated that a piece of gross injustice should be sanctioned and perpetrated because complete justice could not be rendered to all persons. The fiscal reformers who refuse to become parties to this injustice will have various opportunities of pro posing amendments on Schedule D, and it is just pos sible that Mr. DISRAELI may not be very seriously dis pleased if he be compelled by the pressure from without to give some instalment, although the amelioration of Schedule D might diminish the anticipated surplus by half a million of pounds sterling. He might not be willing to provoke opposition to the provisional Go vernment by a temporary arrangement, and yet not offer any great resistance to such a measure proceed ing from another quarter. The same may be said of the advertisement duties. It will be in the recollection of our readers that the debate on the motion of the Right Honourable Gen tleman the Member for Manchester was only ad journed until after the budget was brought forward; the speech of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, inducing the hope that the most objectionable, as it is the least productive of the taxes on knowledge, would be given up. That reasonable expectation has not been realized, and if Mr. MILNER GIBBON, with drawing the two former branches of his resolution, should strenuously press the last part, it is by no means impossible that the advertisement duties would be forthwith abolished. 'We can conceive why Mr. DISRAELI might be unwilling to afford any relief in a provisional budget, which might bring about him the complaints of all who supposed that they had equal claims on his consideration, but that he would not greatly regret a division that enforced the abolition of the advertisement duties, or the more equitable assessment of the income-tax. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of Saturday and yesterday. The Patric, in order to show the advantageous terms on which the late conversion of the Four-and a-Half per Cents. into Three per Cents., which is equivalent to a loan, has been made, pub lishes a list of the different loans made by the Government since 1821, from which it appears that the difference between the rate at which the loans were contracted and that of the quotation at the Bourse o❑ the previous day, has generally been about 3 per cent., whereas the present operation was effected at 68f., the price on the previous day being 69f. 50c., a difference of only 1i per cent. There was no public sitting on Friday of the Le gislative Body. The Committee on the accounts of 1849 met at two o'clock. The Patric says : " The expense of the budget of 1853, as compared with the receipts, show a deficit of 4,000,000 i.; but, ac cording to all appearance, our troops will soon cease to occupy Italy, and that withdrawal will lead to a dimi nution in the expense of the war department." The new Bill on public instruction, which reduces to 15 the number of rectors, and which suppresses the communal colleges as public establishments, will realise to the department of Public Instruction a saving of nearly 4,000,000. The High Court of Justice, according to a Bill which has just been presented to the Council of State, will comprise two chambers, composed of five judges and two substitutes, who are to be taken from amongst the members of the Court of Cessation, and nominated by the PRESIDENT of the Republic. The PRESIDENT of the Republic on Thursday paid a visit to the Hotel Cluny, and inspected the whole collection preserved there. He was accompanied by M. Du SOMMERARD, the conservator of the Museum, who explained to him the particularities of the curious articles contained in the hotel. The Prince expressed himself much interested in what he saw. The crowd, which assembled when it was known that the PRESI DENT was in the hotel, saluted him on his departure with cries of " Vive Napoleon." On the same day he also visited the preparations making in the Champs de Mars for the files of the 10th and 11th of May. A few days since he visited incognito all the line of works at Belleville, La Villette, and the plain of Saint Denis, for the railway round Paris. The Government has just interdicted the entry into France of a journal called the Patric, published at Jersey, which although printed in French, has all the appearance of an English paper. M. FAaEE has been chosen as counsel to support the case of the ORLEANS family befere the Council of State. The Aloniteur du Loiret states that the fires in that department during the first three months of the pre sent year have amounted to 51, of which 21 are attributed to malevolence ; 16 to unknown causes ; nine to imprudence ; three to negligence ; and two to accident. A general ball was given on Friday night at the Tuileries by the PRINCE PRESIDENT. M. DE RAYNEVAL is come to Paris to advise with Government on the subject of diminishing the French army at Rome. The Constitutionnel estimates the decline in the average prices of wheat at about 40c. below the averages of the previous month. During the late minion of M. QUINTIN BAUCHART, in the Southern Departments, he examined the cases of 3,030 prisoners, of whom he set at liberty 1,377, and granted commutations to 1,047. SPAIN. We have received advises from Madrid, of the 27th ult. Lord HOWDEN, our Ambassador in Spain, was in Andalusia, and was to visit his friend the Governor of Gibraltar, after which he is to come home on leave of absence fur a long period. It appears that sonic Spanish and foreign capitalists had offered in concert to undertake the immediate construction of the railway from the Bidassoa to the Ebro.

A Berlin letter of the 28th ult. says :—" The sitting of this day in the Second Chamber was an important and decisive one. The President of the Council presented a Royal message, which demands from the Chambers the abrogation of Articles Gi and GS of the Constitution, and that from the 7th of August the formation of the First Chamber will depend solely on the KING. The agitation caused by the reading of this measure was so great that it was impossible for some time to hear what the different speakers said. The impression that it produced was such that the proposition to change Articles 99 and 62 of the Constitution, with a view to placing further restrictions on the vote of the bud get, was rejected by a largo majority. The message has been printed, and it is remarked with some asto nishment that it is countersigned only by the Minister of the Interior. It is certain, however, that it was deliberated in Council." The Independance of Brussels, of yeste rda y , sa y s:— " Our p r i vate l e tt e rs from Berlin furnish us with some detail s res p e cting the communication made to the Sec on d Ch am b er o f Prussia in the sitting of the 28th, a n d which was known by tele g ra p h. The question is not a decree abolishing b y the Ro y al will the articles of the Constitution, and regulating the organization of the peerage, b u t a new Bill, which is in the S econ d Cham b er t o go through the or dinary course, If, however, the Second Cham ber should reject it, the affair will b e g rave ; but it is generally believed that it will be adop ted, as the extreme Right, whi c h, in voting with the Le f t on the gtb, b 64 the ruction of the Dill odapttcl by the First Chamber, will probably vote in favour ofi the new Bill. In the same sitting of the 28th the Second Chamber came to two other important votes. It rejected the I't a majority of 186 t o 82 the resolution o Chamber, and which, dividing the budget ordinary ir s by and extraordinary expenses, decided that the first should be no longer fixed annually, but once for all, and that no future modification should take place, except by a law, It also rejected by 225 to 57 another decision of the First Chamber, by which it had declared, in opposition to the Constitution, that it could vote the budget, article by article, like the Second Chamber. It will be seen that there is a conflict between the two Chambers on almost every point." A letter from Carlsruhe, of the 27th ult., states that the Hereditary Grand Duke of Bsden, Prince Lou,p has spontaneously renounced for ever, in favour of his younger brother Prince FREDERICK, the succession to the Grand Ducal Throne. Oa the 28th ult. the Legislative Assemby of Frankfort adopted the Bill for the revision of the Constitution with all the amendments introduced by the Committee. The \Vurtemberg Government has addressed a note to the Assembly — of the States, withdrawing a Bill which had been presented relative to the modifi cation of the Constitution. The Austrian Government is at present making arrangements for causing mails and passengers to be conveyed i❑ four days, instead of six as at present, from Trieste to London via Ostend. TURKEY AND PERSIA. _ By intelligence from Constantinople, of the 17th April, we bear that throughout all the Turkish pro vinces a very strong opposition is manifested against the new taxes. The Trieste Gazette announces that the fortress of Herat has sulatnitttd to the Shah of PERSIA. and that the Persian troops have already taken possession of it. THE iIIAYNOOTH. GRANT. Mr. Cobden has returned the following reply to a memorial on the subject:— "House of Commons, April 29. I have to acknowledge the receipt at your hi: , :d S s ir' n — f the memorial signed by 146 clergymen, holding benefices in the West Riding of Yorks, ex• pressing the satisfaction which they would feel if they could depend upon my using my influence (should Ire present the West Riding in the ensuing Parliament) to insure the withdrawal of the Maynooth grant. I beg to assure you that I receive with all the respect and conside ration due to an influential body of my constituents this expression of their wishes upon an important public question. Representing, however, as I have the honour to do, 36,000 electors, the exponents of the opi nions and interests of a population of nearly a million and a half, comprising men of every complexion in po lities, and of all religious denominations, you will, I trust, admit th a t it wi ll be more respectful to them if, instead of entering upon an explanation of my inten tions in this letter, I take an opportunity of stating my views upon the subject to which the memorial refers in my place in Parliament.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were estimated at 12 000 bales, of which 1,000 American and 1,000 Surat were taken for export, and 2,000 American on speculation. The market closed with animation. The sales comprised 8,500 American. 700 Pernam and Ma ranham at 6frl. to 60., 100 Bahia a- 6td. to 6id., 400 Egyptian at 6d. to 9d., 1,500 Surat at 20. to 4d., and 700 Sea Island at 13. 2d. to is. 6d. per lb.—The Share Market was rather better. The price of Wheat in Mark-lane is Is. lower this morning. In summing up last wrek's transactions in the Man cheater market, Messrs. M'Nair, Greenhow, and Irving state:—" Since this day week the market, as regards new transactions, has assumed a less active tendency, in consequence of the largo operations of the previo us week, and of the advance in prices which has tak en place. That advance, with the cont inued scarcity of yarns and cloth, enables the market to assume a healthy and firm apprarance. Buyers will be again fo un d operating very cautiously for a while, in order to de termine what may be the result of the now expected heavy importations of cotton, as until the probable ex tent of the supply, and its bearing as to future value, buyers, will wisely wait the issue. The consumption here being larger than ever before known, renders pru dence the more necessary. The demand has again been chiefly for export; that for the country trade continuing to a most limited extent. Stocks—with the exception of 36-inch long clothe, which are heavy, and compara Lively unsaleable, and one or two other article,—are as light as they were a month ago. It would appear to be becoming gradually more difficult to inip„at a correct knowledge to our friends as to the actual condition and appearances of this market." The following reference to the state of the Railway Market is contained in the circular of Messrs. J. S. Tripp and Co.:— "From these circumstance we infer a steady increase of railway traffic. When people are actively and profitably employed they are not only willing but com pelled to travel more than at other times. Those who have studied railway traffics know how much they are affected by the health and general prosperity of the community. During the cholera and the mercantile panics traffics all declined. Latterly there has been an increase of traffic. Therefore it is we argue that this traffic will not only be maintained but will necessarily increase. We wish to impress on our friends that there is no analogy between this and last year, or between this and the year 1845, but that the causes for an improve ment in the values of public securities are such as never before existed. Viewing, therefore, the present condition of the country as compared with previous years, it is matter of surprise that the shares of such prosperous companies as the Great Western, the London and South-Western, and other railways, instead of commanding a high pre mium are still to be purchased at a discount, an anomaly which we think cannot be of long existence. The highest prices of last year are still much above present values, excepting Caledonian, Eastern Counties, Great Northern, Lancashire and Yorkshire, Brighton, and Midland shares, but compared with the prices of last month, there is an improvement in Edinburgh and Glasgow, Great Western, Brighton, South-Western, Midland, Scottish Central, and York and North Mid land shares; Bristol and Exeter have gradually risen to 971., and will no doubt reach par. These, Great Western and South. Western, are becoming favourite investments. Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverbamptons have gone up from 18/. to 241., and South Wales from 331. to 35/. Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, and North British have been neglected, bat we look for a great improvement in these shares before long. At the last settling day the continuations were lighter than usual, and, barring political events, there is an evident upward tendency of prices." The amount of capital of the National Debt which did not pay the income tax in the year 1850, was 74,216,096/. 19s. 2d. in stock, including over 26 millions of Consols, 32 millions in New Three-and-a- Quarter per Cents., and 14 millions in Reduced Threes. Besides this, there was sumo other stock and terminable annuities. The advices by the steamer Africa from the United States mention that there was an easy money market and a good demand ftr bills on London. Thu neviga• tion was not entirely open up to the 21st ult. A party writing from Tacna, Bolivia, under date of Feb. 13, status:-- "The last news from la Paz received by the courier of to-day is to the 7th lest. The President left the inte• rior of the Republic on the 28th of January, for Pot os i ; and he must now be in the capital. The press ie Bo livia appears dumb, for it is impossible to find in the papers anything interesting. They publi s h an o ffi cial note from Bolivia to Paris, in order that the French may be induced to send some teachers and professors ter the colleges of the R-public. They should ale° promote the emigration of artisans, and all classes of workmen. In la Paz many complaints had been made against a com pony which had failed. It is accused of a great deal of Irregularity in its payments." ilavaneah accounts of the 14th ult. give the exports as under:— The exportations from Havannah, from Ist instant to date, and previously, this year, are as follows: — Sugar, boxes . ... ... 165 623 Coffee, arrobso ... ... ... 67.5 39 Cigars, thousand 49 976 Tobacco, pounds ••• ••• 783,933 Molasses, hegabead# m •'• 14,252 On The rat es o f exchange were without 10 to 101 per cont change. premium.
