The extension of the railway system on the continent, its introduc tion into Denmark, Norway, arid Russia, countries immediately surrounding Sweden, has rendered it indispensable, in a national point of view, that the latter should no longer be isolated from the grand chain of European communication. To meet this necessity the Government of Sweden has granted a concession for the construction of a series of trunk and branch lines, adequate to the internal necessities of the kingdom, and. to its foreign traffic. The construction of a Grand Trunk Line between Stockholm and Gottenburg has been, in the first instance, determined en, compris ing an extent of 350 miles, by which means the great design of uniting the Baltic and the North Seas will be accomplished, and, in connexion with the line about to be established across Denmark, the journey from St. Petersburgh to London will be accomplished in half the time occupied, at present; the navigation of the sound will be avoided ; and consequently the payment of Sound dues, together with a saving of freight, insurance, and the delay of a long voyage up the Baltic. The port of Gottenburg, on' the North Sea, being accessible during a greater Dorton of the year than the Baltic ports, the navigation to the north of Europe will be continued until a much later period in the year than at present ; toe Russian traffic from Western Europe and America would, in summer from choice, and in winter from necessity, add largely to the traffic of this Line. The object of the present Company, his the construction of the first section of this Grand Trunk line, to the extent of about 88 English miles, between Hoping and Halt, which will connect the two prin cipal lakes of Sweden, Wenern, and Bialarn ; the remainder o f th e route, between Stockholm and 'Gottenburg, will be accomplished for the present by the steam-boats through the lakes. The concession for the first section has been obtained from the Government of Sweden, for a term of 40 years, with a guarantee of 5 per cent., on a capital of 416,679/., thus offering to the capitalist a highly profitable investment secured. on the faith of one of the most responsible Governments in Europe, without any public debt whatever, and with an annual surplus revenue. From the annual sum of 20,8331. thus guaranteed by the Go vernment, 4 per cent. per annum wilt be paid tothe shareholders, and the remainder will be applied to create a sinking fund to re deem the entire capital at the expiration of forty years. It is important to observe that the shareholders will be entitled to the entire profits of the railway, whit b, it is confidently expected, will realize from 8 to 10 per cent. per annum. Contracts have been entered into witlr a responsible English con tractor, from whom security has been taken for the execution of the entire works of the line, and to proviff a all the rolling stock, plant, and workshops necessary for the efficient working of the railway, on such terms as will secure the execution of the whole, the payment of all preliminary expenses, cost of nutnagement until the opening of the line, and 4 per cent. interest to the shareholders during the period of construction, for the amount of the capital of 416,6701. Full powers are granted to the Company or establishing an electric telegraph, with the usual privileges att ached thereto. Four per cent. interest will be allowed to the Shareholders on their calls, from the day of payment , durin g the period con struction. The payment of Interest and dividenel will take place at Stockholm, Gottenburg, Paris, and London, at a flood rate of exchange of twelve fax-dollars banco to the 1/. sterling.

It comprises an amount of curious and important information hitherto inedited, the fruits of long and arduous research in the State Paper Offices of England, Scotland, France, and other nations, arid in the charter-chests of the descendants of the noble families of Great Britain ancestrally con nected with that momentous period.

TROLLOPE.—AII novel readers will hail with pleasure the publication of a new work from the pen of this most popular and celebrated of our writers of fiction. That eminent critical authority, the Quarterly Review, h as o b served w i t h trut h t h a t " M rs . Trollope is, b eyond a doubt, one of the cleverest and most remarkable writers of th e day. With a quickness of obser vation which takes in the whole sublect at a glance, an in sight into motives that seems instructive, a keen perception of the ridiculous, and strong powers of humourous delineation, she is the person of all others to expose pretensions or un mask hypocrisy." " Uncle Walter," it is generally ex pected, will achieve even a greater success than the author's Father Eustace"—its brilliant sketches of character—for which Ai r s. Trollope is unriv alled — fQrtning one of the principal attractiow of the work. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS• —been cheated. Before, however, they hail time to come to any de&sion on the subject, the speaker fairly them cut the ground from under th eir feet, by telling that whatever they might think of Protection, he knew that it had not a leg to stand on. The game was all up. "By the office,' if I may so call it, or rather by the situation which I filled so long f that party, I am, alas! too well acquainted with the lists, majorities, and minorities of the Houle of Commons, not to be able, in taking up a list of the Parliament which has just been returned to perceive that there is a de cided majority of Members in the lower house inimical to the feeling and to the measure of protection to agri culture. If I differ, as I certainly do, from the wisdom and justice of their views, yet, notwithstanding, I must acknowledge that I myself and those who think with me are in a minority, and I ask is it wise or pru dent to force forward a question which can but involve those whose interests you wish to the utmost of your power, and at every fair risk to uphold—is it wise, I say, to force that forward when you can gain no advan tage ? They say—it is a scriptural phrase—that it is useless to kick against the pricks, and I firmly believe that in this instance, if we were to stir this question, and to moot it in an unfortunate moment, we should only throw further back the interests of those for whom we would make any sacrifice," Who talked of the folly or the sin of "kicking against the pricks" when they were out of office? Did the farmers think of the author of evil, who is said to be able to quote Scripture to suit his own purpose, while this Conservative partis9n was sporting his scriptural knowledge? Who influenced the minds of fanners and country gentlemen at meetings? Who talked of civil war to maintain Protection, and speculated upon the ser vice the mounted farmers might do to the good cause? What party is it that for the last few years have been speechifying, writing - , cooking statistics, making use of every imaginable artifice to persuade the agricultural in terests that there was no hope for them but in Proem tier)? Who but these very men who, having now ob tained all they were aiming at, by the efforts of their poor dupes, now coolly turn round and tell them that there is no help. The utter denial of any obligation on the Government to forward the views of the Protec tionists, and the positive assurance that such an attempt would be futile, are two of the greatest impertinencies that were ever offered to a deluded party. In the mean time the Liberals have fair ground for triumph, and it is to be hoped that the next semi-official announcement of the Derby Ministry will be as consolatory as Major Beresford's declaration that Ministers have abandoned Protection. POST.—The speech of Louis Napoleon at Bordeaux will create a great sensation throughout Europe. For the first time be distinctly declares his intention of ac cepting the Imperial diadem, and of pursuing . that pacific policy which hitherto he has carried out with such notable success. On the return of the President to Paris, the Senate will immediately take steps to carry out the unanimous wishes of the French nation, and a solid and permanent Government will be established among our neighbours. It is a thing desirable for England and for Europe that a monarchical and stable Government should exist in France, rather than an im potent and ever-shifting Republic. To France herself the benefits will be incalculable. The whole people are now enthusiastically determined on placing an here ditary crown on the brows of a Napoleon, simply because he has wrought such great deeds far their benefit—be cause he has stifled faction, and has amazingly advanced the commercial and social prosperity of the country. They thirst for more victories and more glory. Tho people press forward as " his soldiers," to aid him in con quering and bringing " to religion, to morality, and to opulence, that still numerous portion of the population which, in a country possessing a faith, has no knowledge of the precepts of the Saviour, which, in the bosom of the most fertile territory of the earth, scarcely obtains the common necessaries of life." Such are the conquests of the future empire, whose chief has again and again re cognised peace as ° the desire of Franoe"—peace, which will permit her " to cultivate her waste lands, to open new routes, to render her rivers navigable, to terminate her canals, to complete her network of railways, to assi milate to herself the vast kingdoms which she possesses in Africa, to bring her western ports nearer to America by that rapidity of communication yet lacking, to restore ruins, to overthrow false gods, to make truth triumph." Such, according to Louis Napoleon, are the purposes of the empire. And who can doubt it? In these few words are not the necessities of France truly pourtrayed? Is it to be believed that when her interests lie so plainly in one direction, she is likely to rush forward in another? As the President most truly observes, " War is not made for pleasure, but from necessity." And war is next to impossible, because the necessities of France point directly, as we have again and again shown, to peace—not that we inculcate any blind confidence in the duration of calm, which must always to some extent be subject to the influences of any sudden popular passion, though far less so under the Empire than under the Republic. We have always advocated reasonable measures of pre caution, and regard it as England's first duty to insure herself against the consequences of any accidental broil with any foreign power. We cannot forget that the F renc h are full of vanity, and vastly fond of military glees. We cannot forget that there are historical dis asters connected with the fall of the Empire that French men have long wished to retrieve; but as years roll by, the irritating remembrance of those facts becomes lets vivid, and the increasing intercourse of England with Franco tends to foster better feelings, and we hope stronger ones. At any rate, it is not feeling alone that can insure peace or cause war. Interest is, with all mankind, the grand motive power, and the interests of the two countries cry aloud for peace. The nations and their rulers wish it, and nought is distrusted save the name of " Napoleon." " What's in a name !" Glory, indeed, is almost synonymous with her hero in the mouth of France, and the nephew of the Emperor claims the heirship of his glory and intends to sustain it, not by war, which he " does not inherit," but by establishing " confidence in the present and security for the future. We cannot find terms strong enough to convey the sense of disapprobation, and the feelings of disgust, with which Englishmen regard the language of certain of our contemporaries in relation to the present Govern ment of France. They level the whole volley of their utmost abuse at Louis Napoleon, and at the whole French nation, for no other reason, that we can see, than that our neighbours prefer a positively French constitu tion, in accordance with their characteristic requirement for a love of discipline, to a wretched imitation of American institutions, patched with a few English ideas, totally at variance with their social policy. The false hoods and the slanders which have been uttered by the Euglish press are astounding from their magnitude and their emptiness—windbags, which are so frail, that they cannot even make a noise when they explode. Why, to instance but one—the public has already forgotten the prodigious nonsense that was set forth by our contem poraries about the European Powers marching armies into Franco in the event of the re-establishment of the hereditary empire; in order to vouch for this, our con temporaries published dispatches and treaties which never had any real existence, any more than the truth or honour of their authors, or the sense of their pub lishers. But the principal of these wilful calumniators does not even confine its foul abuse to foreigners. It dares attack tho loyalty and the courage of English men, saying that " the great reason why Englishmen won't have a democracy is, that beyond that demo cracy they see a certain vision of cold-blooded despo tism." These are the words of the Time% and anything more stupid than this was never uttered even by the thundering stupidity of our contemporary. Where is there beyond the American democracy a vision of cold blooded despotism ? and why should not that hic urn good for America be good for England by the ab rule which would insist that what is goo d for England is good for France? Wo need not point out what is apt to the sense of all, that Englishmen dislike democracy as. a thing bad in itself, and not be cause they arecesvard like afraid of the consequenc es of a principle wh tchthe Times and Mr. Cobden pretend that they admire. In the same way our contemporary, falsifying all things, asserts that the present Government of France relies as much as anything upon " upholstery and stage manage ment." Are the Four per Cents. at 106,50 upholstery, when compared with the Fives, this time last year below 902 or are hundreds of miles of new railways —solid improveme nts in agriculture and in all the great towns, together with relief from taxation, to be called stage management? No; such folly is fit alone for the pages of M. Victor Hugo and of our contemporary—who, in its present notions of democracy, as in its rapid changes generally, seems likely soon to rival that miserable revolutionist, once the fulsome adu lator of the Bourbons, now the defender of the impious murder of Louis XVI. The currish and barking ani mosities of such as they can signify but little to the ruler of France, or to the French people, as they know, that, in these matters, our contemporary no more repre sents the feelings of England than does M. Victor Hugo. Did our neighbours not understand this, we might fear that, in the event of an y " petty misunderstanding' between the two powers, the passions and feeli n g s to which we have already alluded might be roused to a dangerous point of excitement—even to the overbearing of the counsels of interest—by the contemptuous and bitter language of journals whose insolence is alone a match for their folly. The Government of England, and all the European Government s representing the true feelings of their respective nations, will, no doubt, respond, in terms full of confidence and cordiality, to the noble and patriotic views of the President. And now that France appears about to become settled in Government and steady in policy, we may hope to see her exercise her due influence in European councils, and display a wholesome spirit of competition for much of the world's commerce. She may contribute to, nay, almost ensure, the due maintenance of order throughout the continent, whilst we sincerely trust that she will not fail to pro mote a liberal policy to which now a freer scope may be afforded. It was a dread of new dis turbances he France that chiefly induced many of the continental Monarchs to rush violently i nto the e xtreme paths of absolutism, and we expee. now that a due reaction may take place. As to Franco herself, we believe that the new Emperor will find her interest and his own to lie in a continual ex t ens ion of the constitutio na l liberties of the people, and a steady and judicious advancement of their mental and moral cducceien. By such gradual means, we hope to see, at no distant day, in i France, political freedom ex isting, as completely does in our own happy coun try. To merit such liberty, the French must conquer it. public dinner-table at Perth. As a programme of his future policy, this appeal nays roundly that he wants to place himself at the head of a democratic movement, to overthrow a Conservative Government which had shown itself sincerely and practically disposed to press all real and just reforms, and of which Lord John's corn plaint is, that some of the reforms which it did press and carry were those which he might have effected himself, if he had wished. So much for the general principles by which he would rouse the commonalty in his favour. But, besides principles, or rather in exchange for prin ciples, he needs persons—persons of some public notoriety. And to whom, of all men, after his democratic prolusion, does he make his bow? To whom hut the Peelites ? His compliments to them—the flattery which he lavished even on their beaten candidates at the last elections—conveyed a very intelligible tender. No consideration of the somewhat " advanced" character of Lord John's last profession of faith deterred these self-styled Conservatives from in stantly testifying their sense of the honour which they had received. They placed their political organ in the service of the volunteer leader of dernocracy,and became the apologists of his past fame and present position. Ha had virtually intimated his readiness to receive them into his camp, and they at once began to arm in his defence. But, at Carlisle, when Sir James Graham was asked what " ite " he was, he replied teat he had been a Pettlitt ; hut now that he was tat " its" at all—meaning, doubtless, that others were Grahamites. Thus, it seems, ho reckoned upon a fickle and wavering loyalty; for, at the first encouragement, his followers were ready to change the prefix of their political patronymic, and to become Russellites. But this is not all. The severe virtue and inaccessible principle of the Liberal- Conservative nymph is not yet fully delineated. She is, it appears, not only easily won, if boldly wooed, but capable at the same time of wooing askance, or transversely, on her own account. Scarcely had Lord John Raseell had time to congratulate himself on the etientehaut effect a his, courtship, when he . beheld his frail beauty lavishing her blandishments on Lord Pal- merston, who had sought no such favour, and who even requited the faithless encouragement with something beyond indifference, arid very like contempt. Just after the Peelites had shown their readiness to coalesce with Lord John Russell, their organ, in a sudden panic, lest Lord Palmerston were about to join the Government, .addressed to the latter Noble Lord a solemn admonition on the value of patience, and quoted the French proverb, that " all is well for those who know how to wait"— tout tombs bien a qui salt attendre. In other words, they want Lord Palmerston for their next Government, and will guarantee him a place. Tempting offer! to which one of the most eminent statesmen of the ago is strangely indifferent. A similar offer bad previously been tendered to certain Irish Mem ears by the same cosmopolitan party. We have spoken more particularly of the Peelites than of some others in the incongruous agglomeration which we suppose must be called the opposition—not merely because the Peelites have been the most obtru- Ave in qualifying themselves as the only or the ablest stat t s men of the country, and in vaunting their scrupu nets adherence to principle; but because it seems we have hurt their feelings. They accuse us of not being conciliatory in our language; they suggest that friends are lost, and those whose forbearance !night have been expected are estranged and irritated by bitter words. Falstaff preaching sobriety, Algernon Sydney extolling disinterested patriotism, Robespierre or Couthon expa tiating on the sacre dness of life, or the Em p eror Nicholas, like Marcus Antoninus, delivering lectures, and choosing for his subject the excellence of municipal institutions, would less startle us than to hear the organ of the Grahamites deprecating any political criticism that is not conciliatory and dignified. In the "5' article in which this expostulation is conveyed the favourite style of that journal is fully il lustrated—a style which alternates between pedantry and slang. Of the latter character we had no difficulty in culling such samples as we may here fitly introduce in passing. This organ, which is all for conciliation and dignity, tells us that Mr. Disr aeli is "a m y ster y man, who has a new dodge of some sort;" and "he is a Caucasian going to do the quart-bottle feat;" and the Quarterly Review " twaddles about cooked statistics, increasing to the tune of so and so." Further, " Disraeli is an ingenious Caucasian," and "a poli tical quack," and "a young Jew named Hoffer, con victed at a police-court," and he is " the political bin crapher," and his dupe is "an old gentleman named John Bull;" and a sort of off-hand mention is intro duced of the " political biegrapher's blunted percep tions of right and wrong," &c., &c. So many proofs does one leading article of our " dignified" contempo rary afford of how easy it is to bo abusive without being witty. With all this there is so much pretence to ex clusive possession of political wisdom and of literary accomplishments, that our readers will pardon us for having loitered a moment on the subject. Those who would find fault with Lord Derby for having formed his Government must advance what literally amounts to this proposition, that no Government is necessary in England, On the other hand, those who would censure the manner in which his Administration have adminis tered the public affairs since accepting office must set themselves against the unanimous voice of all honest and impartial person, arid deny facts to which we will allude more at large on an early occasion. DAILY NEWS.—Major Beresford has again been enlightening the Essex Protectionists. His lecture came off at the dinner of the Hinckford Agricultural and Conservative Club, and may be taken as a kind of ,linisterial indication of what is in store for us. The introductory note to the speech was very instructive, and if it did not convey a warning to the infatuated sup porters of the Ministry, who were so unauspiciously drinking the healths of their betrayers round the well filled table, we must attribute this to the strength of the landlord's wine or the thickness of something in Essex. This note was sounded by Mr. Vicars, who pro posed the health of her Majesty's Ministers, and in the course of his speech took occasion very strangely to be seech his hearers to forget that they ware agriculturists, and to try and think they were something else. "It," said Mr. Vicars, "he understood aright the position which they occupied, it was not the honourable one, simply of owners and occupiers of the soil, but they appeared in the yet more exalted character of English men, with English feelings, and patriots with high aspi rations." The plain English of all this is—don't bother the Major about Protection and such matters now, drink your wine, and listen to what he will tell you about patriotism and aspirations, and all that sort of thing. 'The Secretary-at-War, before the confused agriculturists bad had time to make up their minds as to the extraordinary advice which had just been given, at tacked them in the same strain, and no doubt clenched the impression made by his fri e nd. H e t o ld hi s h eare rs, in high-sounding terms, that if they looked at that pe riod during which his party had held the reins of Go vernment, they would find that they had not flinched from doing their best to improve—at the same time that they had maintained—the ancient institutions of the country. He assured them also solemnly that they in tended to stand by those institutions, whether civil, mi litary, or Protestant. After this magnanimous but rather value t declaration of what his party would do, he considered that his hearers were in a fit state to listen to his own version of what they would not do, prefacing this with a brief account of what they had not done. First and foremost he told the bewildered guests her Majesty's Government did not come into office On the ground of protection. " I deny that position in tote. I know no reason that any man has to say that the Government are Free-traders; and I deny the other position also, that they did come in, in the slightest degree, upon the principles or Protection." That is a strange thing for us to say, but it is not less true. . . "When called upon to form a Government, which we could not have contemplated, we were accused that we came in upon the principles of Protection. But no, we were called upon to form a Government because Lord John Russell was unable to manage his own party." Of course it was not the Major's business to answer the question," How came you and your party to be of suf ficient importance to be called in to do what Lord John was incompetent to do?" How came Lord Derby—who has been the mauvais aujet of each Ministry he has been connected with—to be called on in conjunction with Mr. Disraeli—a mere dashing guerilla—to form a Ministry? Why—when the Government of the country went a-begging was it offered to a wayward earl, and a literary politican? Why ?—but because these two men had by violent party speeches in both Houses of Parliament, by equally vio lent addresses out of the Houses, by attacking in the most unscrupulous manner for his free-trade measures the greatest statesman that England has seen for many years, gained the sympathies of a large and (as it was thought) powerful party in the count r y —that Disraelipart y being the Protectionists. Lord Derby a nd M r. li . ch their own obtained power by flattering the Protectionists. They assumed an importance in the country art In the knowledged heads of the Protectionist part Y. position would not have entitled them to w but l as the ac policy, they unscrupulous following out of their par n te , t w h e a r t e Go fell, they, the Protectionist weakened the Whig Government.; ta vernment fachinery of the State re sponsible for the carrying leaders,d wh e n r throw the onus of the much bettor to his purpose All this, of course, Major Beresford shirks. It suits* unprincipled Ministry upon the formation of this their own position in if o to be answerable for Queen. Neither he nor his chivalrous leader are con tentce. " We came in at the Her Majesty must bo brought forward as a shield be tween them and the country. com mend of her Majesty to support her in her just prero gative, and not to allow the official business of the coun try to be th rown into the hands of Sir James Graham and his Irish associates, or of Mr. Cobden and the Man chaster school. This is simply a most barefaced shuffle to get rid of the responsibilities which the Derbyito party have incurred by their connexion with tho Protec tionists. "We may be Protectionists still," says the Major—" I know," he continues in another part of his speech, " that Lord Derby was a Protectionist in the commencement of the present year, but that has nothing to do with the question. Her Majesty rushed into our arms to save herself from Sir James Graham and Itr. Cobden; hold your tongue until we have delivered her." How the listeners might have re ceived this advice, if they had been allowed time to ponder over it, would be difficult to say. It is not im probable that after a little reflection they m i g ht have come to the conclusion that th e y had—to speak plainly FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIMES.—The journals of the continent appear una nimously to regard the late declaration ofi Louis Napo leon at Bordeaux as the m os t i m p ortan t incident in his progress through the south of France; end while the more devoted adherents of the Buonapsrtist Govern ment hail with satisfaction his open acceptance of the Empire, the opponents of his Government cartrot with hold their approbation from ee precise end positive a de claration in favour of the policy of peace. In a country where no security remains but the personal assurance of the ruler, such declarations are all we have to rely on; and without attaching to them more weight than they deserve, they at least put an end to the ominous silence on these topics which left a door Open to the un favourable inferences. But we cannot forget that on several former occasions Louis Napoleon has volunteered to make declarations equally emphatic and equally well received by those to whom they were addressed. His meseages to the National Assembly were remark able to the last for the forbearance and the con ciliatory spirit which it suited him to affect while he was slowly preparing tee annihilation of that body and of all public liberty. Nor dirt he hesitate to assure the nation that nothing would ever divert him from his duty as en honest man, bound by his oath to respect the Constitu tion, though he was guilty at that time of premeeitated perjury. The penalty for these offences against the first law of duty is that we cannot attach to his worth the same confidence we should wish to place in him. Speaking in one of the first commercial cities of France, whose interests are absolutely identified with the main tenance of peace, the most ordinary prudence might have suggested the pacific assurances which have ac companied this announcement of the Empire. But no trace of the language employed at Bordeaux was per ceptible at such places as Strasburg and Toulon. There, on the contrary, vast military demonstrations appeared to favour very different passions. Frencluentoons flung over the Ithineha vast naval armament ebilecten ar Toulon—prodigious activity in all the naval de partments—and the extension of the tortifica tious of what is already one of the strongest places in Europe—are proofs that however highly Louis Napoleon may value the blessings of peace he has not ceased to prepare and augment his means of war. The Emperor Napoleon himself, end the most warlike Sovereigns who have ever lived, con stantly laboured to convince their subjects and the world that they were drugged into wars entirely against their own will, and that the maintenance or restoration of peace was the sole object of their policy. On one point, however, there can be no doubt and no incredulity. Louis Napoleon has thought it —and rightly thought it —a stroke of good policy to endeavour to convince the French nation that the second Empire is to be an mra of peace, and the enthusiastic response which the country has given to his assurance on this point is a strong indi cation that lie cannot violate this engagement without irritating public opinion and wounding the principal in terests of France. The most absolute Sovereigns are in truth not much snore able to despise and surmount pub lic opinion then those Governments that live under its incessant control. If Louis Napoleon is satisfied that the public opinion of the French people is strongly pro nounced in favour of peace, it is to be presumed that he will net, for any paltry object of his own, fly in the face of an obligation which is one of the conditions of his power. War may be too unpopular at home, as well as too dangerous abroad, for him rashly and wantonly to provoke it; and perhaps there is no guarantee of the general tranquillity on which we can rely so well as on the repugnance of the French themselves to disturb it. doubtless, intended to encou- The Bordeaux speech was, rage or to flatter these hopes amongst the less warlike portion of the French, and, at the same time, to disarm, as far as possible, the distrust with which the re storation of the Empire is watched by foreign States. But it we are to take this declaration as perfectly sin cere, the reception it cannot fail to meet with both in France and in foreign countries furnishes a conclusi ve argument for acting upon the line of policy it pre scribes. The m ilitar y establishments of all the conti nental Powers have grown to the most oppressive mag nitude. They are kept up, or rather forced upo n , the several Governments, by mutual distrust. The revolu tionary storm of 1848 no longer affords a decent pretext or a reasonable motive for the permanent maintenance of the largest armies the world has ever beheld. The question of peace or war in Europe rests mainly—we might almost say exclusively—with France, for in the present state of things we entirely concur in the remark of Louis Napoleon, that "if France is satisfied the world is tranquil." No Power can be so much as suspected of the slightest desire to at tack her territory or to contest her rights, though no Power feels at this moment an equal degree of confidence in the intentions of the French Government towards the territory and the rights of its neighbours. It is, there fore, for Louis Napolean and for France to take the lead, if these assurances be trustworthy and sincere, in the highly honourable task of restoring the world to that peace establishment which was never more needed by the fi nances of all Europe. Thera; is nothing in the con quests ho spoke of the other e'eteeehieh requires the presence under arms of , half a million of solmers. No boon which he can confer upon the rural population of Franc© could at all be compared to a mitigation of the conscription, which now annually takes from 80,000 to 100,000 men from their homes; and we are satisfied that his power would gain infinitely More internal so lidity and external respect, by divestirg it of its menac ing military character, than by an unseasonable display of idle hosts that might overrun half the provinces of Europe. For ourselves, we are quits ready to apply and to abide by this test of the wisdom or folly of his policy—of the truth or the worthlessness of his promises. But while vie see the whole army ol France in the highest state of preparation for any undertaking, and with a considerable addition to its dective force; while we know that unusual activity prevails in all the French dockyards, and that the navy has received within the last few months a vast augmentation to its strength, We are unable to reconcile these facts with the declared in. tentions of tho French Government; and this pa lpable inconsistency n a t ura ll y i ncreases t h e M i strust w i t h which the new Imp er i a l Administration may be v i ewe d. If these suspicions are erroneous and unjust, as they arc certainly onerous. and inconvenient to all the world, it rests with Louis Napoleon to disarm them; bu t we cannot attach very great importance to any verbal declaration, unless it be accompanied or followed by soma of the measures which ought to be and would be its immediate and inevitable consequence. If it be, as we suppose it is, the object ant the desire of the future Emperor to take a place among the chief Powers of the world, we venture to affirm that he will find it far more easy to recover the natural inflame° of France, to contract allisnces, to co mmand respect, and to conduct negotiations when he has laid aside the sword which he still brandishes over the French and in the face of Europe. His own speech is a full and complete homage to the principle for which we are contending. Foreign countries having no direct con cern with the internal Government of France, are merely interested in seeing him act up to these decla rations in his relations to themselves. If " the Empire means peace" -- to use his own emphatic expres sion —it means the unreserved acceptance of the territorial limits of Europe and of all existing treaties; and it means the reduction of the present enormous military establish ments to the peace footing. There can be no question that these two measures would bs hailed with gratitude by a large proportion of the French nation, and with just satisfaction by the rest of Europe. On such terms the renovated and altered Empire of the French might indeed inaugurate a period of prosperity and repose; but these measures are in themselves so obvious, so de sirable, and of such easy accomplishment, that until some such steps are taken we must be permitted to re tain doubts, if not apprehensions, which nothing short of experience can entirely remove, HERALD. —Lord John Russell, Messrs. Cobden and Bright, Sir James Graham, Mr. Joseph Hume, and Messrs. Keogh and Moore, are the respective leaders of several sections in that political medley to whom the present Government is in a greater or less degree dis tasteful. Lord Palmerston deserves better than to be ranked with the centurions; and we omit his name for the reason that made Hannibal omit Scipio's in the enu meration of the general whom he was asked to charm). terise. The approach of the session, in quickening the movements of the various parties which thus constitute Opposition, exposes their disarray, and even multiplies their difficulties. An Opposition, indeed, in the re ceived sense, exists not at all; there is a stir among many bodies, now blending partially, now dispersing in still wider divagations, like clouds in the uncertain sky. The Parliamentary divisions hostile to the present Ministry are hostile to each other. Disagreeing among themselves respecting the principles which ought to preside over the management of the national business and regulate the ser vice of the Crown, they might possibly—let us grant this for argument's sake—be rallied for a moment to subvert one Government, but confessedly they never could unite to establish and maintain another. If they could even effect the forced or transacted combination of a day, that day's work must be demolition: it could not be followed, at least at their hands, by the construction or the re-construction of anything. We aro stating a plain fact, recognised or confessed by every person of ordinary intelligence throughout the country. A regu lar, or constitutional, or intelligible opposition exists not; but some parties exist, each of which would desire to be in office, not one of which dare count the rest as adherents in such a contingency, and all of which taken together possess precisely that sort of power that they might obstruct others in dispatching the necessary affairs of the empire, but yet could not themselves resume the interrupted business. Gone from their broken ranks is the power of party; they retain bat the privilege of fac tion. Every step taken by the morenoted men, and every word uttered by their accredited organs, reveal the absence of one ruling mind; and, as in she hasty effort t o su pp l y any given deficiency, others are often brought to light, t o so the desperate endeavours, on the o ne part, and, on chief to levy recruits or lure confederates, an t , on the other, of those very forces to procure a differentd and an abler, as well as more fortunate leader, betray the contempt which is felt for consistencyv!nd for principle ferous in making by the very persons who are most 9e a similar charge without trut h or fairness against Lord Derby's Government. Lot us glance fora ora m t incidents which have only just occurred. Lorde moment John Russell makes an appeal to the nation from behind a sequence of the distress, ostensibly occasioned by the failure of the potato, but, in reality, a necessary conse• quence of the condemnation of million s t o a b so l u t e de pendence on a s i ng l e, uncertain, and perishable root, affording at the best, from the same quantity of raw pro duce, three-fourth s l ess nutr i ment tean oatmeal at very nearly the sam e price. Of the debt of eight millions, onc half was more generously than justly remitted at once by Parliament. Th e whole was voted for the relief of the Irish, who wer e re p rer , ente d to be perishing by hundreds, in consequen ce o f t h e f a il ure of potatoes. g Did the landlords suffer it to be so applied? It was said that the money contributed from all sources towards this relief was insufficient, and in 1848, a depu tation of landlords waited on the Earl of Clarendon to solicit his approbation of a scheme for extracting another grant from Englishmen. His Lordship flatly refused, of hunger into and as flatly accused the landlords to their faces of g t numerous cases having diverted the greater portion of the money from a people w p h e o ,cl 7 e e t r s e . their own sai l d ie to m b en e ti( p n e e ri d sli th in a which had come to his knowledge, in which substantial farmers had claimed and obtained regular relief, through collusion of the parochial or district authorities, and many others, in which landlords had placed tenants who were in arrear of their rent on the relief lists, in order that the money might go to the liquidation of their arrears. In fact, the aeliniaistration of the national funds for relief of the starving poor was converted into a gigantic swindle for the profits of the landlords. Greater frauds upon the nation and Government during the progress of the alleged famine were never practised. The papers teemed with represereatione of the excessive mortality, and De Mella.le estimated the deaths at either two or three millions, nil of which he cnarged es crimes upon the English Government, and especially Lord John Russell, though every member was anxiously and aselously exerting all his energies to undo what was truly the work of the Irish landlords, as we shall soon demonstrate. Dr. Wilele, in his virtuous indignation, forgot that the census and other records of social progress would furnish most satisfactory means of detecting deliberate falsehoods, as well as of correcting honest though erroneous statements. These documents throw a considerable doubt upon the reality of the " famine" itself, and enable us to deny the existence of the asserted excessive mortality. For instance, in the ten years ending with that of the last census, the population decreased 1,659,330, and in those years 1,289,133 persons had emigrated from Ire land. Computing from these numbers by any pro bable rule that we may select, iu the h - ope of ap. proxiwating to the truth, we shall be satisfied that Ireland was not afflicted with a prodigious mor tality from famine in the true sense of the word. But if Dr. Alellale's extravagantly improbable estimate of the deaths from famine were true, the murderess were not the English Government, but the Irish landlords, who now desire to repudiate the debt, which they contrived to place in their own pockets. Let us see how the case stands on the supposition that two or three millions of people, in a population of eight millions, perished through the failure of the potato. Had that root perished in any other country in the world, no such dreadful consequences could have been produced, because the people could have fallen back upon other and more nutritious rood. But the Irish could not do so, bcceuse the landlords, by exacting the most exorbi tant rents, had long compelled them to export all sorts of better food, and condemned them to the potato for their sole subsistence. If, therefore, a great mortality ensued on the failure of the potato, to whom was it owing but to the landlord? Even during the time that Dr. M'llale's imaginary millions were dyieg of hunger, the landlords were causing the wretched survivors to snatch the food from their retch, and export it to other markets for their shamefully high rents. According to the Doctor's teaching, we must call this conduct most inhuman; and that others may judge of it, we abstract, from Perhamentary returns, the following quantities of food exported before and dining the year of the alleged famine:— Average per year from 1842-45, 219,414 qrs. wheat Total in 1846 Average as above 86,122 qrs. barley Total in 1846 Average as above 2,506,538 qrs. oatmeal Total in 1846 Average as above Total in 1846 Average as above 1,366,990 cwt. oatmeal Total in 1846 Besides this food, affording three-fourths more nutri ment than the same weight of potatoes; there were exported, during the so.called famine, 186,483 oxen, bulls, and cows ; 6,363 calves ; 259,257 sheep and lambs ; and 480,827 swine; besides an incredibly enormous quantity of dried, cured, and salted flesh meat, together with butter, lard, and other articles of human consumption. Under these circumstances, we deny the right of the Irish landlords to expect any fur ther relief from the payment of a loan, which seems to have been exacted from us by [a , scandalous fraud, and converted to their own advantage. Whether they call the payment of the interest or instalments of the prin cipal a Famine Tax, is of little moment; for whatever it may be named, it is a tax occasioned by themselves. That the potato failed, and the poor suffered, we admit ; it forms an incontrovertible reason for compelling the repayment of every farthing advanced in compliance with the pretence of a famine; but that there was anything like a famine, or that state of the earth when it ceases to yield fruits for the sustenance of the inhabitants, we emphatically deny, and point to the preceding state ments of food exported to raise rents for our vouckers. The census and the emigration returns also prove Mat the mortality during the distress was shamelessly and fraudulently exaggerated, with the object of imposing upon the well-known humanity, charity, and liberality of Britons. THE MELBOURNE STEAMER. (From the Times.) The " sweet little cherub" who presides over the destinies of seamen evidently confines his attention to the interests of the merchant service. The ablebodied mariners who ship for a voyage on board any of her Majesty's vessels must take their chance, and struggle on to their port of destination as best they may upon the most inefficient compounds of wood, iron, and canvass that the world has yet seen. There is really no dis guising the fact—there is a fat.i.lity ever Queen's ships. Call the result n3danchnly, call it ludicrous, call it ex pensive—call it what you will, ships constructed at the most reckless cost for the public service will not go through the water with the same conditions of speed and security as vessels belonging to private o wners. We will not assert just now that anybody in particular, from the Duke of Northumberland down to the veriest apprentice in Devonport Dockyard, is iu fault; we only look at the simple, unmistakeable result. The ships are, TO doubt, excellent good ships, constructed on th© most scientific lines —the power of the engines is nicely adapted to the p ro p ortions of the hull—the of ficerssejY the necessary orders, their directions in th e andthineircotrhmip,asndeoroisspuae e company y pr oh c e i y most zealous and efficient manner; but the ships won't sail or steam in the required direction. That is all that is amiss about them. As an illustration of this asser tion, we would call attention to an announcement from Plymouth, which we received last night by e l ectr i c tele graph, and which will be found in another portion of our columns this day. It is to the effect that the Melbourne screw steam-ship, in getting under w ay in Ilamone yesterday morning, ran between two hulks, fouled one of them, and did herself very considerable damage. The brief announcement talks of jibboom, catheads, and anchor carried away, of shattered davits, of chain-cable run out, and so forth. Of course, as the vessel is now the property of the Royal Mail Steam Navigation Company, the Govern ment people will say they have nothing to do with the catastrophe. Wo cannot certainly fix them with the direct responsibility of an act which, after all, may be simply an accident; we simply say, h e re is another Go vernment vessel in trouble. I t will be remembered that the Melbourne was originally b u ilt for the Queen's ser vice, but, after a vast expense had been incurred, was doclared incapable.
