October, it is earnestly to be hoped, oc will elicit some v declaration of their intended from the mem bers of her MAJESTY'S Government. s Ample leisure is now afforded them for the preparation (supposing it not already prepare d ) of t his lon g - expected and often delayed pronumciamento. Recently we took occasion to comme nt u p on the ver y extrao rdinary re sponsibility reposing at this crisis upon the councils of the Administration, We remarked that upon the decision arrived at by her MAJESTY'S advisers during the existing crisis depended the reali zation or the dissipation of the political desire cherished by the people of the United King dom. We observed that what the inhabitants of these ii,ands require, and continu, beyond all other events of an administrative character, is the organization and consolidation of a really efficient and energetic Government. It was insisted upon, moreover, in the remarks to which we are here making reference, that of all the great parties in the newly-elected HOll5O of Commons there is only one, the compact and homo geneous character of which affords any p rospect of effecting this advantageous change in the conduct of the affairs of the British empire. Refl ec ti on on l y t en d s to confirm us in the accuracy of our vi ews i n this particular. Observing the scat t7et: newatur of the forces disco ve r a bl e i n th e ranks feel assured Parliament, it is impossible not to hold in their r th h at the leaders of the present Ministry capability of securing at this present juncture the bessing s o f a li a n t g to the nation at large the _a popular Go v e r r o o n t n ii m g en t . and—if they so please Under exi,ting cir cumstances, no can attefnpt to compete er cluster of statesmen with them in their possession of this most enviableoPPbortunity. The Whigs are regarded unfavourably insignificance. the population.

Sir JAMES GRAHAM has no of attaining, for some time to object of his ambition, namely., the direction of the affairs of the courc,ry—those affairs whi c h he . s by experience, by genius, and by patriotism so ad mirably qualified to rule with honour to himself and a dvantage to hi s f e llow -countrymen. Sir JA MES We hope yet to see at the head of a n authoritative an d i ltha P end eht Govrnment, as we trust also that, by his labours in oPpositiO n , Lord Jour( may be enabled to secure to hi s na me somewhat of its ancient and noble popularity, From neither of these remarkable administrators however, seriously expect ju s t can we now to obtain the boon of a strong Government. l owa to drool went of eitb ® r t lt were frivo as within the liwits THE of immediate possibility. The declension in the cause of the Whigs was signally evidenced by the recent defeat of Sir GEORGE GREY in North Nor thumberland; while the reduction of the influence of the Peelites was rendered not less signs y visible through the rejection of the Right Hon. EDWARD CARDWELL by the electors of Liverpool. A straw thrown up, they say, is sufficient to show which way the wind blows. But two such men thrown down during the course of the late electioneering struggle was surely more than enough to demonstrate the tendency of the times in regard to the great question of Administration. Neither a GRAHAM Cabinet nor a R-crssELL Cabinet being at this period (as is obvious) at all practicable-- it is, if possible, still more apparent that no other Ministry is capable of being evoked in the ordinary course of events exclusively from the ranks of the Opposition. A CLARENDON Cabinet i s out of the question, seeing that a RUSSELL Cabinet is not to be consolidated. As to the venerable Marquis of LANSDOWNE, he has personally and avowedly closed his political career ; and, therefore, cannot for a mo ment be expected to assume the arduous task of con ducting an uncertain and ricketty Administration. Still less probable is it that Viscount PALMERSTON could undertake the constructions of a Cabinet with out having first collected togetThehrethleearsmatlalyotefrrietahcloesgenscsiaesennd.- ' tial for such an enterp rise • ningites, the Noble L ord, is as gen to be without an ermy of political followers as he is admitted to be a consummate tactition, as well as a vigorous and patriotic, and experienced administrator. It is manifest, therefore, from all these considera tions that a strong Government can scarcely be ex pected to be drawn solely from the confused and heterogeneous mass of the Opposition. Equally ma nifest is it, to our thinking, that, as at present situ ated, the existing Ministry is incapable either of commanding a majority in the House or of securing the confidence of the population. Yet, such being the case, we feel assured, at the same time, that—if Lord DERBY be only true to himself—both these advantages may be extracted from the present golden opportunity. A majority in the Commons, a sweeping majority, may be obtained almost without effort by the Cabinet, and obtained, too, as early as the ensuing month of October. Immediately that majority were so secured, the Ministry would forthwith, by a necessary con sequence, be invested with popularity, and would rise from the degradation of a dubious venture to the dignity of an energetic and vigorous Administration. How all this might be accomplished must be apparent on the very front of our propo sition. It might be accomplished simply by the re velation of the Ministerial policy—hitherto shrouded in impenetrable darkness—by a revelation proving to the country that the Earl of DERBY and his colleagues are sufficiently appreciative of the wants and wishes of the present generation. As Mr. STANLEY, the Prime Minister of hdlgEnglancquired a glorious dis tinction as a reformer, let as Lord DERBY, show that he is now as earnestly the advocate of steady and progressive improvements. He would discover very soon that his 284 supporters in the House of Commons had been very rapidly and astonishingly multiplied. He would perceive that Sir JAMES GRAHAM could act no less magnanimously towards the DERBY Cabinet than Sir ROBERT PEEL did towards the RUSSELL Administration. He would find, we feel assured, a fervent, enthu siastic advocate of that lime of policy in the person of the Right Hon. the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. He would establish upon a broad basis the fabric of a liberal, and popular, and ener getic Government. In cherishing these aspirations, we can scarcely be accused of being mere day-dreamers—for has not the present Ministry declared itself from time to time in favour—of Legal Reform—of Sanitary Re form—of Colonial Reform—of Educational Reform — and of Fiscal Reform —or, in other words, of a comprehensive change in the general system of Taxation ? A step further and the desired goal is realised—the Cabinet is consolidated and the country is in possession of a strong Government. That step is the duly deliberated reform of our vast and complicated system of representation. Will the present advisers of the SOVEREIGN avail themselves their judgment, and ; we will add, to their honourable ambition, the solution of that momentous problem must be resigned until some day in October, when they will be required to appear in the presence of the newly-elected. Parliament. The weekly returns of the Bank of England afford the most conclusive and satisfactory evidence of the industrial activity and general prosperity of the country. Intelligent and experienced persons in monetary affairs long since laid down a pri nc iple that the distress or prosperity of the country de pended on the circulation of Bank of England notes being reduced to 16,000,0001,, or advanced to 20,000,000/. In the former case there was universal distrust, and, as a necessary consequence, universal distress. No man would part with the supply of money on hand, not being satisfied as to his prospects of obtaining further cash, although perfectly solvent in his circum stances, and enabled to offer unquestionable security. The panic occasioned by the knowledge of the in- adequacy of the notes in circulation to supply the wants and exigencies of the country led to a general stagnation and paralysis of every description of pro duction, and indeed of all industrial occupations. Large sacrifices had to be made in orer to obtain the means for payment of wages and of the current current expenses of the establishments, and operations were contracted within the narrowest limits. The revenue, too, suf fered, for the artizans and operatives, who were either wholly out of employment or working short time, could not afford themselves the ordinary comforts, which they could readily obtain in more favourable seasons. All then was gloom, perplexity, and mutual distrust. There was not sufficient for all, and the country was in the condition of the distressed family described by LoCKE, where the children were each Pulling at the scanty coverlet in order to obtain warmth for himself at the expense of his brother. 'When, however, the circulating medium, the mea sure and representative of value, is increased to 20 , 0 00,000 i., then there is abundance for all—the coverlet has been enlarged, and each can shelter himself without depriving another of the family of his rights. As a general rule, every man able and willing to work can obtain remunerative occu pation ; he can provide for the wants of his family, pay his subscription to the club or benefit society, enjoy his humble luxuries, and, perhaps, lay by something for a rainy day. The revenue flourishes, the na tional income exceeds the expenditure, and the most burdensome and inequitable imposts may be repealed or mitigated. The people are contented and happy, and nothing arises to mar the general tran quillity. We are at present in that happy position, and th e re is every prospect of a long cont i nu- By_ the return f or the ante ending the s prosperity. 31st notes in the hand s of thepublic tof a July, it appears th a t t h e mount to no less m TREE ore t i l t: l a L n L I t O h N a S t A w ll h D ic A h HALF h5taLnr2.30,1,47p90,4u5N5D/; , invariably produced p r osperity soTrEnEeLalrNlyG and contentment ; of 001.

The shareholders of the Royal British Bli,k yes terday held their fifth general half-yearly meeting, and the state of affairs then disclosed afforded the utmost gratification to every person interested in the concern. The experiment has now been fully tested, and the result has more than warranted the anticipations of the promoters and directors of the undertaking. It is shown, then, the same principles which have commanded such unequivocal success north of the Tweed, may safely be brought into ope- I ration in the English metropolis—that the indus trious classes, who had been previously debarred of banking facilities, are not disposed to abuse the pri vileges conferred on them for the first time in this country. The dealings have been mutually beneficial to the Bank and to its customers. The balance sheet just published shows that they have been so to the former, and we believe that among the latter there will not be a single dissentient or malcontent, all will admit the advantages of the Scottish system of banking, and desire its permanency. From the report we find that a dividend, after the rate of five per cent. per annum, has been declared for the half-year ending the 30th of June last. This would be exceedingly gratifying, when we consider how greatly the reduction of interest on, and the diminished demand for money, must have tended to reduce banking profits- A closer inspection of the balance-sheet, however, shows that this, by no means, exhibits the real gains of the concern. The a mount of dividend, at 5 per cent. (which, by the way, is free from income-tax), is 1,2501. An equal sum has been set apart to be carried to the reserved fund, now increased to 5,9061. 19s. 10d. A further sum of 5171. 103. Bd. has been applied to the gradual liqui dation of the amount expended in buildings and fur niture, while an unappropriated balance of 2d. has been carried to next year's account. The actual profit of the bank, then, has been— 537/. 18s• X. s. d' 1,250 0 0 1,250 0 0 For dividend . For reserved fund ...

ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE (ASTLEY'S). If any of our friends wish fora fe w hours' amuse ment, ending at an hour which permits rational peo ple to get to bed in , "good time, we recommend them heartily to go to Astley ' s . There can be nobody above the age of 20 who has not delightful reminis cences of the Amphitheatre just over Westminster bridge, and nobody between 8 and 12 who, if they have not yet been, are not longing to go there. We can assure the young that their antici pations will not be disappointed, and the old, that they will not say—Ob, these things used to be better done in our time. They could not have been positively. The wise en scone of Peter the Great cannot be excelled, and the dramatic positions are of the highest interest. The personation of Ca tharine, by Miss Fenton, is really deserving the high est praise. To those who love the marvellous, we recommend above all things the performance of the brothers Siegrist. Sure we are, that we never saw any feats so incomprehensible or so inexplicable. Con ceive a pole of about the substance and height of an ancient Maypole. Well, the one Siegrist holds this clear of the ground, supported only against his own person, while the other runs up the smooth pole with his hands and feet, quicker than any cat we ever saw, and on and from the top performs the most curious and in credible feats, stretching himself out, attached by his feet alone, at right angles from the pole, as stiff as a mesmeric exhibitionist, and enacting various other fantasies no less astonishing and unaccountable. At least we can't account for them, and all we can say to our readers is, "Go and see." The evening's en tertainment was closed by a capital farce, full of fun and spiritedly acted, termed Drawn for the Militia, performed to a crowded and delighted house.— Morning Post, Aug. 3. IA FEW WO OLD MAIDS AND BACIIELOM. (From Eliza Cook's Journal) "Men should not marry," it is commonly said, " un less they can not only maintain for t hemselv es th e social position to which they have been accustomed, but ex tend the benefits of that position to their wives and children. A woman who marries is entitled to be kept in the same rank and comfort in which she was reared." We entirely disavow these doctrines. It should be the aim of every married couple to make their own fortunes. No son and daughter, who become man and wife, are en titled to rely on their patrimony, but should willingly commence life at a lower step in the social ladder than that occupied by their parents, so that they may have the merit and happiness of rising, if possible, to the top. Imagine the case of en aged c ou pl e w h o , by gre at perse verance, have acquired possession of immense wealth, and are living in a style of ease end splendour, which is no more than their reward of their long lite of industry. Will anybody say that the children of " such old folks" should live in the same g ran d eur as th e ir parents? The idea is preposterous. They have no right to such , luxury, they have do ne no thi ng t o de s erve it; and it their parents are honest in dividing their property amongst them, they can have no means of supporting it. Yet marriages are contracted on the principle, that the married couple shall be able to keep up the rank to which they have been accustomed under the paternal roof. It is such notions as this—engendered by Malthu sian philosophers, and fostered by lazy pride—that are filling our country with "poor old maids" with coquettish young ladies, with nice cigar-smoking, good-for-nothing young men, and our colonies, alas! with most miserable and barbarous old bachelors. MARINE PROPULSION.—Being impressed with the belief that the great defect of the methods at present em ployed is that a large amount of the motive power is ex hausted by levers, cra nks, &c., I have endeavoured to invent a plan by which direct action would be obtained, and hope to do so by causing the expansive force of the vapour employed to act between the vessel and a resisting force in the water. This will be better understood by supposing a floating dia phragm (submerged) to be stationed under the vessel's stern, and an elongated piston-rod acting against it coming from horizontal cylinders and thus pushing the vessel forward. te E t° 6 n A .; re Th e resisting surface would assume a horizontal position d ur ing the backward movement , and thus offer no resistance , an d again became vertical during the forward movement of h ounce of power would be ex erted.--rredsp%itzdehu ns eve r y t o e fti r l y e B udder.

OLDHAM ELECTION.--Mr. Heald, the late candi date for Stockport, has been in personal communication with the supporters of the late Mr. Duncuft, but it is reported that he will not go to a contest unless a requisition, signed by a majority of the electors, is forthcoming. Addresses, signed by the Tory Radical party, have been placarded, urging that it is the duty of the Radicals to support a Con servative candidate. On Thursday evening a meeting was held to receive a deputation from tockport, and to hear the political character of Mr. Heald.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday amounted tO 10,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were taken for exportation, and 3,000 ditto and 500 Surat on specula tion. The market closed firmly, and prices without alteration.—The Railway Share Market was depressed, and prices had receded considerably. The second series of sales of this season's clip com menced on the 9th ult., and terminated yesterday after noon.

The attendance throughout has been numerous of home buyers, but comparatively few foreign. Prices were not so good for the higher descriptions, from Is. Bd. per lb. and up wards, particularly Sydney, of which there was so small a quantity at the last sales that they realised higher rates in proportion: the decline has been from ld. to lid. per lb. on the average. The Wool trade continues very satisfactory, and there is every expectation that present rates will be supported. Cape Wools were much sought after, the quantity being small, and realised very good prices, as well as East India. The returns from the Bank of England give, as was expected, a material decrease of bullion during the week to the 81st ultimo. The large shipments to Australia will account for this. The circulation was increased by the withdrawal of a larger amount from private banking balances than was paid in, thus far confirming the state ments made in various quarters, that money ia more in demand. The public deposits increase, and will slowly rise now, as the quarter advances. Compared with last week, the changes are as follow: Decrease . ,•.;.. 626 ' 965 Bullion Dd.

Tripp and Co. may on this score be usefully subjoined:— " At first the causes assigned for the decline in rail way's were that prices had risen too rapidly, and were also higher than the coming dividends would justify, " Upon these calculations largo sales, bona fide, as well as of a speculative character, were made. It was, however, g 3nerully expected that the strength of the money market would prevent any continuous or serious decline, and believing that the " Bears" would be com pelled to buy back their speculative sales, better prices were an';ic:pated. Subsequently the accounts from Ireland of the general failure of the potato crop. and the fear of a collision with the Americans on the New foundland fishery question, gave boldness to the specu lators for a fall, and prices have again been forced to a lower lirr it. The result of the decline being greater than was. txpected, produces now a fear that many weak holders w ill be compelled to sell, and that for a shod time the iiepression may continue. The value of money has not rdtered, but the demand has slightly increased. Nevertheless the sellers of railway property will find a difficulty in obtaining employment for their capital where the *me rate of interest may be obtained as rail- ► THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Finis journals of yesterday. The Constitutionnel has the following on the com mercial treaty with Belgium Fele treaty of commerce between France and Bel gium expires on the 10th instant, and no convention has yet been entered into between the two countries to secure the continuation of it. Negotiations were, it is true, opened a few months since in order to prolong the treaty by adding fresh clauses to it; but it is not probable that they can be brought to an end before the term fixed for it to expire. The principal cause of the delay is the situation of the Belgian Cabinet, which ten dered its resignation after the late elections, and which could no longer assume the responsibility of such an important act. The present treaty, nevertheless, draws towards its close, and if no convention be entered into in a few days, the advantages which were granted on either bide will cease as a matter of course. It is well known in what the principal clauses of this treaty consist. We have conceded to Belgium an advantage for her threads and linens, and Belgium on her side consented to a reduction in the duty on our silk goods and our wines. Thus, if the treaty expires, the importation of Belgian threads and linens into France, and the import of French silks and wines into Belgium will be subject to the general tariff of duties. If we are well in formed, the two Governments, in order to avoid this in terruption to established relations, are engaged at the present moment in arranging a provisional convention destined to prolong the treaty now in force until a more complete one shall have been concluded. This conven tion will, it is said, b e signed towards the end of the week, and will be pr omu l gate d i n ti m e to prevent any suspension in the existing relations between the two countries, and we have every reason to hope that this provisional convention will contain several new clauses favourable to our commerce. It was important that some stipulations should be made in favour of our salt. The treaty of commerce recently entered into between Belgium and England would be of a nature to prejudice our saline productions, if our Government is not on its guard. It is necessary that Belgium should grant to our salt an advantage which would permit us to compete with English salt; she must also consent to make that advantage to the white rough salt which our establishments in the Mediterranean now produce in such great perfection. These measures are the more urgent as our home market is far from satisfy ing the wants of our production, as the salt-works of the south have enough on hand to supply the whole con sumption of France for more than two years. The abolition of literary piracy would be a measure not less desirable; but, although the negotiators are nearly agreed, we dare not hope that it can be concluded in ' the provisional convention, which will admit of no delay." The Constitutionnel says—" We learn that M . VIEYRA, the chi e f o f th e staff of the National Guard of the Seine yesterday (Thursday) tendered his re signation to the Minister of the Interior. We are not aware whether the resignation has been accepted or not." A letter from Cherbourg, 3d inst., says—" Prince JEROME BONAPARTE arrived in our roadstead yester day evening, in the screw steam-corvette Reine Hor tense, and was received by a salute from the vessels in the harbour, which manned their yards, and with cries of Viva le Prince Jerome! Vive Napoleon!' The Prince was received on his landing by the Port Admiral, the sub-Prefect of Cherbourg, and the other civil and military authorities, after which he proceeded to view the different works in course of construction for the improvement and defence of the port. The Prince, who has not visited Cherbourg for more than forty years, expressed his astonishment at the works which had been executed, and which will tend to make it one of the first ports in France. On his land ing an immense crowd assembled, by whom he was received with the greatest enthusiasm, and it was evident how much interest was attached to him as the brother of the EMPEROR. After a short stay at the Maritime Prefecture, which was closely surrounded by an immense crowd of people who loudly cheered him both on enter ing and leaving, be embarked to proceed to the Reine Hortense. On the following morning he again landed and met with a similar reception. After finishing his examination of the different parts of the dockyard he again embarked and proceeded to St. Malo.' Another letter states that the Reine Hortense, which had left for St. Malo, had been obliged to re turn to Cherbourg, having, when off Cape La Hogue, met with very blowing weather ; but the Patris of yesterday evening states that the Govern ment has received information of the Reine Hortense having again started from Cherbourg, and arrived safely at St. Maio, where the PRINCE met with an enthusiastic reception. The inauguration of a bust of the PRINCE PRESI DENT in the drummers' room of the etat-major of the National Guard at the Palais-Royal took place on Thursday afternoon. Beneath the pedestal of the bust was the following inscription :—" Hommage des ser gens, caporaux, tambours et trompettes des 22 bat talions de la arde Nationale de Paris, au Prince President Louis Napoleon, inaugur: le 5 Aoilt, 1852." M. Levan., chef d'escadron of the staff, assisted by Captains DUPLANTY and DE BONVILLE, presided at the ceremony. M.

A letter from Eslingen (Bavaria), of the 31st ult , says —,6 A dreadful murder was commi tted her e d ays back on the person of one of t h etWO most learned anatomists of Germany, Dr. RAMPOLD, head Physician o f the hospital of' Eslingen. On the day '•n q uestion the valet of Dr. RAMPOLD entered hi s m a s ter's room , and found him lying on the ground, covered w i t h blood, and having a pitch-plaister over his mouth. His secretary and the drawers of several other article of furniture had been broken open, and two gold watches, several jewels, s ome silver-mounted instruments of surgery, and a con siderable sum in money taken away. T he gold watch and pur se of the deceased had also disa P - peered. The autopsy of the body p roved that Dr. had perished from loss of blood, RAMPOLD c aused - by the ten stabs of a knife in breast, It is thought probable that first of all the murderer stunned the deceased by a blow on the , head with so me blunt in trument, and th en applied the pitch plaister. The only clue t h a t has been as y e t arrived at is th e de claration of the porter of the hospital . that on th e day on which Dr. RAMPOL D was discovered lying dead the doctor returned home, accompanied by a man in that in half an hour f a peasant's dress, and a terwards the man descended and left the hospital. Hitherto all the researches of the police have proved ineffectual, the description of the man on whom suspicion falls being but vague, the porter having only seen him pass rapidly.' ____------ DENMARK.
