Caprice too frequently appears to be the guidi ng in fluent., io the distribution o f the national evictoic„ ; aPProbation. Otherwise the inequality of the honoura and emoluments scattered among our more eminent citizens would be altogether incomprehensible. It repeatedly happens that individuals who have ren dered themselves peculiarly illustrious by their achievments are either entirely passed over, or re ceive some niggardly reward, wholly incompatible with the value of their services. Sometimes a very different lot, on the other band, is reserved for persons of occasionally inferior merit, whose deeds are, nevertheless, recompensed with the most extravagant profusion and the most exaggerated munificence. It was in this manner that Sir JOHN JilitVl3 obtained an Earldom, for the victory secured for him through the open violation of his orders by the incomparable Sea Captain to whom the nation since then has, even upon her public monuments, accorded the glory of that triumph of British valour off Cape St. Vincent. It was in this manner that Sir HORATIO NELSON obtained merely t h e 31 "cnY of the Nile and of Burnham Thorpe, for his then unequalled victory near Ablolcir—a victory the lila: of which had never been Witnessed at sea, either in ancient or modern times, fought Its Me battle. was at anchor, and at midnight. It was thu s , of his skill as moreover, that after this wonderful testi monyatnaval commander, Lord NEL SON was insulted byllvo)einPg appointed second in com mand under Sir the memorable AR""ii the occasion of expedition to tionenhagen—where again, by the violzition o f r - " - }isi ir orders of his superior officer, he carried the triumphantly over a thousand diffieultie s : r nal flag of his continued and astoniahien receiving in recognition It was thus, astonishing successes the coronet of a Viscount. brief, that the most extraordinary of all 05, at the close of 18 maritit ne co rors, he wh o h as been well termed " the darli n g died on the 21,t of October , iti hero of England," THE the 4.greatest of all his great battles, that fought off Cape Trafalgar, with the magnificent re wards already enumerated—while Sir Joni; JERVIS, for the victory which he did not gain, and Lord HOWE for another of a very splendid but still inferior character, each respectively r eceived the tribute of an Earldom ! As enigmatical, we doubt not, will it be to our own posterity —the fact that the distinguished conqueror of the: province of Scinde is still nothing more than a G.C.8., while the twin victors of a revolt in the Punjaub are respec tively Viscounts of Lahore and Goojerat. Cer tainly some people are born with gold spoons in their mouths and some with the shabbiest of " Britannia metal." People will marvel much, we doubt not, in times to come, how it came to pass that the twofold commanders on the latter occasion were recompensed thus superbly, while the solitary leader in the former instance was re paid with little better than disdain and misrepresentation. For our own part, we can nowhere perceive that the glorious victories of Meanee and Hyderabad were en titled to less consideration than the lamentable skrimmages at Rainnugger and Chillian wallah ! Yet two men were raised to the peerage for the latter, while the victor and administrator of Scinde is still receiving instalments of what has been nearly his sole reward—ingratitude and vituperation. How it possibly occurred, again, that Lord ELLEN BOROUGH obtained an Earldom and Lord DALHOUSIE a Marquisate has always been beyond the reach of our oomprehension—seeing that the last-mentioned has merely shown himself to be a very respectable Governor-General, one of very ordinary attainments, and of very fifth-rate eminence : whereas, the first mentioned revealed, in the same capacity, a genius only second to that displayed by CLIME and ,by HASTINGS. Another melancholy example of the fickleness with which fortune distributes her favours has, it would appear, very recently been afforded — the recipient being one of those same lucky person ages whose names we have already mentioned. Viscount HARDINGE was assuredly not one of those born to the honours of a wooden ladle, after the manner of one of the family of the CHUZZLEWITS. His recent appointment by the Earl of DERBY to the important military post which is inferior only to that of the Commander-in-Chief, the elevated and respon- . sible office of Master-General of the Ordnance, has naturally enough excited feelings at once of chagrin and amazement. Under any circumstances this appointment could scarcely have been other than matter for surprise, con sidering that so very many officers higher on the lists might reasonably be claimants before Lord HARDINGE for the consideration of their merits and their services by the Noble Earl at the head of the present Govern ment. But, considering a variety of facts which have within the last few hours come to light in reference to this very singular occurrence, the nomination of Vis count HARDINGE as Master-General of the Ordnance under the Derby-Disraeli Administration, must be allowed on all hands to be remarkable, and not only remarkable but indecorous, and not only indecorous but in some respects actually disgraceful. Seeing that our political opinions are diametrically opposed to the majority of those entertained by the' various parties implicated in some manner or other in the transaction referred to, we may reasonably claim for our views upon the question at issue the utmost impartiality—looking upon the whole of these proceedings, as we do, in a mood the most unbiassed and dispassionate. The first sentiment of amazement experienced on witnessing the selection of Viscount HARDINGE as the Master-General of the Ordnance is, that he, of all men, should have been chosen by the PRIME MINISTER, aware, as the Earl of DERBY must have been, that he was sixty or seventy lower down the list than a distinguished and experienced officer, such as the Marquis of LON DONDERRY. The second and superior source of astonishment at the preference is, however, of still more considerable weight and magnitude. It has fortunately for the cause of justice, but un fortunately for the credit of Lord HARDINGE, been very recently discovered that but a few hours before the vacant office was filled up he himself addressed a communication to the Noble Marquis in the course of which he observed, " If you should accept the Ordnance, and that I can at any moment be of the slightest use from my former connexion with that office, I shall most cordially be at your service." Such was the conviction even upon the mind of Lord HARDINGE himself, that the fittest claimant for the office was the veteran Marquis of LONDONDERRY ! Yet, almost immediately after thus voluntarily proffering the aid of his experience to the Noble Marquis in the important contingency suggested by himself, Lord HARDINGE, of all men in the military service, quietly and comfortably drops into the ap pointment ! Priority of promotion and every other consideration is set at nought. The offer of the ad vice above specified is conveniently forgotten. Sixty or seventy names are coolly passed over The claims of Lord COMBERMERE, and still more, the claims of Lord LONDONDERRY, are alike ignored : and the Lord Viscount HARDINGE figures in the Gazette as the Master -General of the Ordnance. No wonder proceedings as paltry as these should have induced the Marquis of LONDON DERRY'S SOD, Viscount SEAIIAM, subsequently to refuse the choice of three appointments in the Royal house hould ! No wonder his son-in-law, the Marquis Of MANDFORD, should scorn in a similar manner to join in any capacity a Cabinet which has thus violated all the usages both of the army and of the Govern ment ! No wonder that the military profession in particular should express, on all hands, the surprise with which its members have observed this rather tricky course of proceeding towards a gallant veteran who might reasonably have looked for somewhat more of respect from the present Master- General of the Ordnance, and from the present leader of her MAJESTY'S Government ! Lamentable, and in a way also disgraceful, as the transaction referred to is, it is, unhappily, by no means exceptional in its character. It is only another illustration of the sic vos non vobis principle : and yet, happier though the fortune of Viscount HARDINGS has proved in this particular instance, we cannot but think that we may prefer to his feelings those experienced at the present moment by the Mar quis of LONDONDIRRY. The Russell Ministry bad for a considerable time before its final overthrow been tottering on the nar row and insecure basis on which it was erected. It never, even in its most palmy days, possessed any real strength, and its existence always depended rather on the forbearance and divisions of its opponents, than on its own inherent power. It would at any moment have fallen before a coalition similar to that by which the sweets of office were placed within its reach. The Protectionists, however, were rather kindly dispos e d t owar d s t h e Whi g G overnmen t. F u ll y aware of the utter impossibility of retaining power, even if full authority to form an . Administration had been thro ug h an . fortuitous circumstance conferred on their leader , yk latter, not that t h e re 6. general policy, too, that the only alternative P nowi n —, lay between and RUSSELL, . they preferred the was greater similarity of opinion mined an intense on points of personal antipathy but because they enter aantipathy to the illustrious author of free trade. be said of the really Liberal party, th They, therefore, tolerated, approve, the Whig Ministry. did s ot Thea!t h o s t lathe may y t k h e a o t w knowing r e that was the a e advocates of progress, who, Whigs were proverbially II m ade ablo materials," considered of squecz on, receiving better chance of obtainin g so me instalments of instalments either Protec • tionists or Peelites. Thus they got of justice at their bands than from • the support of the Ma nchester school when attacked by the Protectionists, and vice versa, and of b o th when the Peelites occasional l y made an onslau g ht on the Ministerial ranks. This was not a very dignified course, but still th ey were in the enjoyment of the substantial benefits o f office, and were enabled to exhibit their thorough ap preciation of the innate genius and administrative capacities of the relatives or connexions of the Rus• SELLS, GREYS, or ELLIOTS, even to the third or fourth degree. There was a species of "right divine" which..the happy family" entitled all connected by blood or marriage w ith 66 to a preference over all ot h er candidates, no matter w h a t might be their qualifi ca ti ons. Thi s was, no doubt, exceedi n g l y a greeable to the fortunate indivi duals, but not quite so pleasing to those whose per manent claims were disregarded or set aside in cola- S UN, sequence of the flagrant acts of nepotism which were of every day occurrence. The evil, too, rather increased than diminished. Day by day the party became more exclusive, until they con summated their own ruin, by getting rid of incomparably their ablest colleague—the most doughty champion of their party, but who was re garded with jealousy as being en interloper not in any degree connected with either of the tria juncta in nno—the GREYS ! the RUSSELLS ! ! or the ELLIOTS ! ! ! Lord PALMERSTON was, however, dismissed on the most frivolous and insufficient pretences ; and from that moment the fate of the Ministry was sealed. It only remained in office by sufferance. There were many points on which they must neces sarily have been defeated. It were difficult to say whether the colonies or the national finances hung most heavily on the Ministerial conscience, or whether the gross and palpable job brought forward under the euphonious designation of a " New Reform Bill" would prove the instrument of their destruction. Their only choice was as to the manner of their death. Mr. ADDERLEY, like au avenging Nemesis, was pur suing " the GREY iniquity," while men of all classes and parties concurred in censuring the imbecility, perversity, and unparalleled fiscal injustice of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. The Reform Bill (!) was, however, possibly, the most formidable of any, and not the less so, because they had lived during the preceding session solely on the expectations excited by the Ministerial hints of something good in store for the people. It was to confirm the party in power. Lord JOHN might continue Premier fur many years on the force of the character to be thereby acquired. It would cover a multitude of sins, and even shelter Sir CHARLES Woon himself from the innumerable darts and arrows by which he would in evitably be assailed. These pleasing but illusory anticipations were, however, scattered to the winds' when the dismayed Minister heard the reverberation of the shouts of combined derision and indignation with which the melancholy abortion was hailed by men of all classes, creeds, and partie4, throughout the length and breadth of the land. His heart for the first time failed ; he at length discovered the certainty of his downfall, and sought for the easiest and softest spot on which to fall. The opportunity was not long wanting ; his injured colleague objected to a single word in a motion which had been brought forward, and with affected petulance, but really well considered purpose, Lord JOHN RUSSELL resigned the reins of power. But why ? Surely the defeat was not of such vital importance as to occasion the disso lution of the Cabinet. They had frequently sustained more ignominious discomfitures, and treated them with the utmost nonchalance. Why, then, should they magnify the gentle and mild castigation so properly administered by the ex -Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs into a death-wound ? Simply because the true character of the quasi-Re form Bill had been discovered. The contemplated revival of the rotten boroughs, the absolute reversal of the policy which prevailed in 1832, had excited the deepest disgust in the country, and Lord JOHN R us- CELL had not the hardihood to brave the storm he had excited. Ho had ignored " the ballot," repu diated any diminution in the duration of Parliament, and rejected with disdain and contumely every sug gestion for a more equitable distribution of electoral power. Indeed, he not only refused his con sent to every proposition that had been made, but boldly entered upon a retrograde course. a just and q u it- His avowed desire was to keep the balance of parties unchanged, rather than to concede able measure. He would not int er f ere w i t h the balance of power, and therefore Dorsetahire should although the total male p opu l at i on still send Middlesex, as many representatives to P ar li ament as of the former was barely one-tenth of that of the latter, they being respectively 89,204 and 882,823. One man of Dorset was, there fore, equivalent to ten of Middlesex. There surely must, however, be some assignable reason for the apparent anomaly. It could not be on account of the numbers of inhabited houses, which were as 36,138 to 239,362, nor on the wealth of the inhabitants ; for we find the annual value of property in the one assessed at 799,3421., while in the other it amounts to 7,584,6681. Again we find Bucks and Surrey set down as equiva lents on the opposite sides of the political equation, each returning 11 Members—the male population being 81,158 and 325,037, the inhabited houses 33,232 and 108,822, and the annual value of pro perty 706,2651. and 2,291,1231. respectively. But why multiply examples, when we find twenty-two boroughs, the aggregate population whereof barely exceeds 100,000 individuals, sending forty- two Members to Parliament, and the twenty most important cities and boroughs in the United Kingdom, with an aggregate population of 3,780,000, returning only the same number, 42 repre sentatives. The men of Harwich or Evesham, of Lyme Regis or Thetford, have more than thirty-eight times the political weight and influence belonging to the citizens of London, Liverpool, Leeds, Man chester, Glasgow, Dublin, or Edinburgh. No wonder, then, that the Bill was distasteful to the injured parties, who saw that their grievances would be perpetuated thereby if it became the law of the land. The Wbigs have now fallen—they may learn a lesson of liberality when in opposition ; but if they do not profit by the castigation they have received, they may bid a long farewell to all their greatness—they will never again be tolerated by the country. TIIE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The result of the elections i; now entirely known, with the exception of that of Corsica, which, accord ing to the latest accounts, presents no doubt. Four candidates belong to the Opposition. Five elections have to be recommenced. Much satisfaction has been occasioned by the decree which convokes the Senate awl the Corps Legislatif for the 29th. Whether the PRINCE PRESIDENT of the Republic will, in the meantime, continue to issue decrees having the force of law may be a question ; but, at all events, from the period of the meeting of the Chambers the latter will naturally share the re sponsibility of all acts of the Government. The Corps Legislatif, however restricted may be its powers of action with regard to projects of law sub mitted to its sanction, yet its sanction will be requi site, while the Senate is required to refuse to promul gate such laws as amount to a violation of the funda mental principles of the Constitution. At all events, the country enters under the action of regular law. The Pays menaces the partisans of what is called the fusion of the two branches, that if they go too far their conduct may be treated as something more heinous than that of an intrigue. Such a project might have been allowable when all parties, seeing the Republic doomed to break up, felt justified in laying claim to the inheritance ; but now that the nation has settled the power by which it is hence forward to be governed, such hopes are not to bo entertained. -... Marshal Prince JEROME BONAPARTE, President of the Senate, has just published a series of regulations .relative to that body. The principal clauses of this document have been borrowed from the regulations of the old legislative assemblies. It fixes the different duties of the grand referendary, the secretary, and other officers. No one can have an employ in the Senate who is not a born or naturalised Frenchman ; if he is not of age, or if be is more than seventy. The state messengers are to be chosen in preference from supe rior officers on the retired list who have been deco rated, and for all the other posts officers of different ranks will have the preference. It is said that most of the functionaries and inferior employes of the old Chamber of Peers have received appointments in the Senate. The Courrier de la Gironde has been condemned for libel, but as reports of the trial had been for bidden, the details remain unknown. The Presse states that several Swiss staff officers, who are in Paris, have received orders from their Go vernment to return immediately to Switzerland.

A change of Cabinet hav ing taken place in England, there would be nothing strange in such a proceeding, if we remember that, on the fall of Lord Palmerston, Lord Howden offered his resignation. In any case we believe that the resignation of th e Minister of England would be generally regretted. The amenity of his conduct, and the excellent qualities which he possesses have obtained him many friends." The Heraldo on the same subject says : " Several journals have announced that the Am bassador of her Britannic Majesty in this city has sent his resignation to London in consequence of the change of Cabinet, which has just taken place. Although such a proceeding is usual in diplomacy, and all the representatives of the Queen of England abroad, give in their resignations not only when there is a total change of Cabinet, but when the Minister on whom they depend is changed, this step has not yet beers taken, inasmuch as Lord 'Lowden dots not yet know 0E6 9, 4 the nomination of the new Minister of Foreign Affair,. Neverthele3, resignations are not al ways accepted; and not many cars ago we saw a Mi nisterial change in England without any one of the di plomatic agents being changed. We should be very glad if the same fact should now occur as regards Spain. Whatever may be the foreign policy which Lord Derby proposes to follow, we believe it difficult for him to find a better representative for Spain than Lord Ilowdee, or one more acquainted with our customs and ideas, or more generally respected by all parties; and conac quently better qualified to draw closer ties of friendship, which, in oar opinion, aro alike advantageous to both countries."
