A PRIL 3, 1852. __________,„__________ _ The explanation given last eveningin ent t l h e eli n Ho use of Commons by th e Ri g h t Hon. G ti CHANCELLOR of th e EXCHECKEZ must be deem the mod ao far satisfactory by th e nat i on, that it sets at rest all doubt a:, to the intenti ons o f h er MAJESTY'S Govern. ment. It will he remembered that considerabl e un certainty was felt as to the views really entertained by the Noble Earl the FIRST LORD of the TREASURY, in reference to the dissolution of the existing Parlia ment. The opinions expressed by him in March upon that vitally important subject seemed so far contra.. dictory when compared with the opinions already expressed by him in February, that the country began to dread the possibility of some extraordinary change having taken places in the policy to he pursued by the Cabinet towards the Legislature. It was feared, and under the circumstances we cannot but think natu rally enough, that having at length obtained the sup plies on the pretext that, once granted, they would inevitably lead forthwith to the general election, the Ministry had ungenerously de termined to forget all those assurances, and to postpone the dissolution of Parlia ment until such time as it might perfectly suit their own convenience. This indeed was the impression produced, by Lord DERRY'S remark::, upon the mind of the Duke of NEWCASTLE: and contrasting those remarks with the observations already made by the Pavan MINISTER towards the close of the preceding month of February, it must be confessed that the judgment of the Duke of NEWCASTLE did not appear very grievouily warped in arriving at that conclusion. Fortunately, however, last evening a more explicit declaration of the views cherished upon this matter by the existing Cabinet was extorted from the CRANcELLoa of the .ExcHEQuEE by the Noble Lord the leader of her MAJESTY'S Opposition. Hitherto, the course adopted by that Opposition, we have— and that, moreover, from the very outset—protested against as derogatory to the character of the House of CoLumons, yes at first, nothirP• less than factious, and, as amou n ti ng at last almost to the cul pability of being uncoil Happily utannal. t.e ig nation provoked even amongst its supporters, by these shameless proceeding s of a Put y infuriated by its very recent and very ignominious degradation, in duced them in the end somewhat t o tactics—more, however, i t i s manifeat, c o dif y el)r . their . om . eelings of shame than from motives of /nag , . I magnanimity. The new Government, which had been summoned • into 6 •-v:t,ace.irt,artnoment of very re mar k a b le and almost anezaw ,2.,r_ e ncy, found it se lf no longer ob. 1)4.0t 5 v atrtinted at eery turn by tho rancour o f SpPointA ambition the petula ucc . cz, TIIE SUN, irremediable defeat. The estimates were granted— no less than 14,000,000/. of the public moneys being voted, as Lord JOHN RUSSELL observed yesterday, with a rapidity scarce'y ever paralleled. Ilow this was accomplished in spite of every interposing difficulty was significantly indicated last night by the Leader of the new Opposi sition ; for, said he, " relying upon the accuracy of the reports which I heard, and being assured by many noble friends of mine that what they had heard was perfectly satisfactory to them, I did advise those who act with me upon this side of the House not to ask for any limited supply; or to delay the business of supply, but to proceed at once to vote the money asked in the estimates." It was, consequently, with peculiar dismay that, after having thus sacrificed their vengeance, in obedience to the dictates of a bitter but salutary circumspection, the Opposi tion imagined that, in the recent allusions made by the Earl of DERBY to the necessity for a dissolution, they detected a rather unsatisfactory alteraticn in the intentions of ber MAJESTY'S Govern ment. It was. therefore, with more than usual soli citude that Lord JOHN ItussELL referred yesterday to the matter under consideration, threatening that on Monday next before going again into a Com mittee of Supply he should demand at the hands of the Government still further and somewhat more sa tisfactory explanations. Without waiting until Monday, Mr. DISRAELI at once manfully vouchsafed an answer, which must be allowed to be sufficiently candid to allay the anxieties of the most incredulous. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, premising that the First Minister had of late been very la mentably misunderstood [marvellous circum stance ! that obscurity should have dulled even for a moment " the clear silver of that Saxon style"]—declared at once, simply and boldly, " that it is the intention of her MAJESTY'S Govern ment, as it was the intention of her MAJESTY'S Go vernment, so soon as those measures are passed which are necessary for the service of her MAJESTY, and those which we consider necessary for the security and good government of the realm, humbly to counsel her MAJESTY to dis solve the existing Parliament ; and we do so with the full intention of recommending her MA JESTY to meet a new Parliament during the course of the present year under circumstances which will give an ample and complete opportunity for the new Parliament to decide on the cha racter and policy of the existing Government." Than this nothing could be more clear or more perfectly in accordance with the original avowal of the Noble Earl the PRIME MINISTER of England. After this, it is earnestly to be hoped that the business of the session will be no more in terrupted by these unfortunate misapprehen sions. By evincing somewhat more magnani mity towards the statesmen now presiding, at a crisis fraught with more than usually prolific sources of embarrassment, over the different offices of administration, the leaders of the Opposition will extend their own popularity, while they can in no manner jeopardise the interests of the country by so doing—seeing that the people of these islands will very speedily be afforded an oppor tunity of deliberately weighing in the balance the policy of the existing Government. We are at last to have a real, stringent, searching investigation into the proceedings of the Anglo- Indian Government. A Select Committee of the House of Lords, fairly and impartially chosen, was last night appointed to inquire into the operation of the Act 3 and 4 William IV., c. 85, for the better government of her Majesty's Indian territories, and to report their observations thereon. The whole question of what is popularly termed the renewal of the East India Company's charter will thus be sub mitted to that Committee. We may also infer from the concluding statement cf the PREMIER that the step thus taken is not merely an ingenious de vice to divert the public attention from the subject, as was too frequently the case in fiscal and financial matters, when Sir CHARLES WOOD presided at the Exchequer. lie said," By the reports of the Committees of this and the other House of Parliament, her MAJESTY'S Government are ready to be guided in the course they will pur sue ; and to those Committees must be deputed the important task of considering how the affairs of India shall hereafter be best conducted." This is as it should be. If Ministers desire to divide their responsibility with a Committee of either branch of the Legislature, if they induce Noble Lords or Honourab!e Gentlemen to devote much valuable time and labour to the consideration of any subject, they should not contumeliously ignore the results of their inquiries, or show that their appointment was nothing more or less than a discreditable " dodge"—the word although vulgar, is expressive —to shelve a trouble some question until after the report of the Commit tee had been obtained. We, however, willingly accept the pledge freely tendered by the Earl of Deena, and feel convinced that there will be no mistake on the subject at any future period. The question is indeed one of deep and almost vital importance to the welfare and prosperity of a arge proportion of her MAJESTY'S subjects. No less than 150,000,000 of human beings—nearly one-fifth of the population of the world—are interested in the result. The great desideratum is to bestow on that vast community the form of go vernment most suitable to their wants, and best cal culated to elevate them in the social scale. Have the magnates of Leadenhall-street afforded evidence of their fitness for that arduous and important duty ? or have they shown themselves to be an assistance to, or a clog upon, the Board of Control ? These are ques tions that have been deliberately asked, and which must be seriously answered. We believe that the truth will be elicited during the forthcoming investigation, and that it will be clearly and distinctly established that they are powerful only for mischief—that they can do no good, although they can oppose many formidable impediments to any matters calculated to improve the condition of the Asiatic subjects of her Most Gracious MAJESTY. If, then, it can be show n that the services of the Board o f Di re ctors are worse than useless — that they render no prac ti ca l assistance to the India Board, al though th ey r e t a rd and interfere w ith its efficiency when act i on is requ ired, why should the extraordinary privileges that will shortly be extin• guished be renewed ? If there were any commercial operations still p en di ng, i n which the capital of the Company was concerned, there might be so me tan gible reason period, assigned f or a con ti n uation of the charter for a limited until the matters outstanding could he wound U. The Company has since 1833 completely lost its But there is nothing of the sort. commercial character. v e t ly the right of previously enjoyed—abolished, exclusive trading—the monopoly whi c h had which they DERBY, they were deprived trading at all." Indeed it is a charactery matter the privilege ' of of ut, according e to y Lo , rd_ im portance whether their mercantileeof taken away or not, for it is certain might be the interpretation of the Act ogfnivalet) the Company have long since totally species of trading, and that it is only, se n up any far as their political functions are concerned, that any point re mains to be disposed of. The ground being then so far cleared, why should there he any doubt or difficulty remaining? avh y are the affairs of the Eastern Empire to be tram .. a whateverr l a e wi n i na t ,s -melled by the interference of twenty. four or thirty elderly ge n tl emen ? Is is merely r that they may have enormous patronage vested in their hands, to distribute it according to their indi vidual caprices rather than for the benefit of the community. As Lord ELLENEOEOUGH truly re marked, such patronage divided into so many channel?, or rather " pools," is only exercised in fa vour of the family or friends of the bestower. Candidates relying merely on merit or on the services of their forefathers, have but little chance cf lucrative employments. If we closely examine the nominations to writerships or cadetships, we shall see numerous cases of nepotism, and but few of public spirit. Thera are, of course, some honourable exceptions, but these are anything rather than the rule. Now, is this to be continued ? Is the East India House still to remain a close borough, or otherwise ? We should say not. Objectionable as it may be to transfer the patronage to the Government, the existing system ii far worse. We trust, then, that the Committee last uiglat 414ailated will Jigcbargo its itcp4taat dutiea LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 3, 1852, without favour or affection, fear or prejudice. On their decision will depend the well-being of myriads of their fellow-creatures, and we cannot entertain any doubt that their verdict will be an honest one, in strict accordance with the evidence that may be adduced before them. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. M. GIRARDIN makes his second appearance in the Presse, and fills nearly an entire page with his remarks. He concludes with an exhortation to those parties over whom he supposes he has still a certain amount of in fluence to accept the Republic as it has been give❑ to them, and not to offer an opposition which would lead to the re-establishment of monarchial absolutism. He says— conclude by saying to the Republicans, everything examined and carefully weighed, you ought not to look at the matter too closely, for that would be to play the game of the Royalists ; you ought not to be more difficult to be pleased than seven millons of electors, and you ought to be contented with what still exists under the name of the Re public. To be content with it is the means of preventing a restoration of monarchial absolutism, not only in France, but in all Europe. in Belgium, in Switzerland, in Piedmont, in Spain, and in Portugal. After the •.4th of February, how did the vanquished act? Did they protest haughtily against the Republic? No; it was by making themselves humble that they appeased and disarmed it, and that they succeeded in a few months in again seizing on the political predomi nance which they had lost. Let this example, borrowed from MAI. de Montalembert, Berryer, and Thiers, suffice for the Republicans, if they desire to preserve the Republic. Let them everywhere accept, for want of something better, and through fear of something worse, those words of the speech delivered at the Tuileries on March 29, Let us pre serve the Republic I' " The Slide, in signifying its approbation of the testi mony offered by the PRINCE PRESIDENT in suppart, ques tions, nevertheless, the justice of the condition affixed by Louis NAPOLEON to the maintenance of the repnb lican form of Government. "No doubt," says the " that menace suspended over the country, would be of a nature to force the most turbulent parties to re• main at rest, if parties were reasonable. But if they were reasonable, they would cease to be parties. Great opinions can alone wait patiently; parties die if they do not agitate. We do not certainly want to accuse any one, but what, some fine morning, in the midst of general tranquillity, is to hinder an abortive attempt from being made on one of our frontiers, proving the folly or im patience of parties? Certainly, France would not be the accomplice of such an act, and yet all France would bear the penalty of it, since she would be suddenly deprived of a form of Government considered at present marvellously adapted to her character and wants. It is, in fact, rare that it can be said of any mo narchy what the PRESIDENT has said of the Republic: 'lt menaces no one, and re-assures all.' What! it would be sufficient to see the secret manoeuvres of some mal contents in order that the benefit of the present form of government should be given up, and the country deli vered to all the chances of a new establishment? Be yond any doubt, th e G overnment h as not taken into account the full bearin g of such a phrase; it perceive that it wa s by it s o p en ing . a vast field did not to all kinds of intrigue, to a ll p o litical passions, and that the is prospect of a change depending _ on so small a matter, not calculated to re-assure men's minds, and tranquillize general interests."

After a considerable number had been declared regular, the President stated that, according to the terms of Art 46 of the decree of March 22, the Legislative body must now be considered duly constituted, and that intimation of the same would be given by hint to the PRESIDENT of the Republic. Sots° further returns having been verified, the President informed the deputies that they had to decide on the point of whether they would or would not wear their official costume at their ordinary sittings. The Chamber decided that it would immediately resolve itself into a Secret Committee to discuss the point. The public sitting then closed at three o'clock. The decision of the Secret Committee, i•e it is understood, that each deputy shall appear in uniform or in coloured clothes, just as he pleases. It has, it is said, been just decided that the Council of State shall sit all the year, with the exception of the two months' vacation, during which a Committee wiil be appointed to transact the necessary business. The Bill on monetary reform, which laas been ex amined by the Council of State, is to be presented in a few days to the legislative body, as well as that relating to the penitentiary system. It is said that this latter Bill lays it down as a principle that all individuals con demned to sentences of an infamous character shall be transported.

Her MAJESTY was to proceed to the Royal Chapel of Atocha, to place on the heads of the statues of the VIRGIN MARY and the in fant JESUS the precious crowns made with the jewels she wore on the 2d of February, the day of the attempt against her life. It was reported that General PAVIA had been ap pointed Military Governor of Aranjuez, for the pur pose of keeping General NARVAEZ away from that residence during the sojourn of the QUEEN. An old enmity is known to exist between those two officers, and it is not probable that General NARYIEZ would re turn to his estate while General PAVIA commanded the district. A hostile meeting was to take place between M. ALEJANDRO CASTRO and General PAVIA, in cense quence of the publication by the former of certain do cuments likely to compromise the General. The latter had accordingly sent a challenge to M. DE CASTRO. The names of the seconds were not yet known. The Heraldo, of the 26th, had been seized, merely for announcing that the number of the preceding day had been the obj,ct of a similar measure ! Such an out rageous persecution of tho press is unexampled, and almost incredible in a soi disant civilized country. The Tribunal of Madrid has confirmed the sentence passed on the responsible editor of the Orden, for a libel on General O'DONNELL, condemning him to three years' imprisonment and 500 f. fine.

THE CRYSTAL P ALACE.—Yesterday the form of in petition which was placed e building for signature when the public were first admitted gratuitously, about a fortnight ago, was withdrawn, and a new one d rawn u p by the com mittee, was this m orn i ng substituted for it. About 50,000 names have been att ac h ed to it, and a large proportion of the subscribers belong t o t h e gentler sex. Ma. CHARLES KEAN.—A considerate and liberal act on the part of this estimable gentleman deserves to be recorded, if but for the edification of theatrical managers in general. Taking into account the serious detriment which would be occasioned to the minor employes at the Princess's Theatre, by the unexpected closing of that house during the present week, Mr. Kean has most handsomely paid in full the weekly salaries of all in the establishment holding en gagements under two pounds a week. An act like this speaks for itself and will doubtless give additional intensity to the warmth of the public welcome with which Mr. Kean (whose health is rapidly improving) is certain of being greeted on his re-appearance after Easier. THE I TALIAN OPERA.IN PARIS.—The Italian Opera closed on Tu es d ay night with fforuza, in which Mdlle. Cruvelli had ac hi eved so many triumphs. The house was , brilliantly a tt ended, and the audience applauded all the performers with a warmth which was evidently given and taken as th e expression of an affectionate farewell. The past season u n d er Mr. Lumley recollected as one o f th remarkable in the annals of the opera. 's spirited direction will be e most HUNGERFORD.RALL. Since the departure for Paris of Lassaigne and Prudence, electro-biology has taken up its quart ers at the above establishment. The subject is treated by M r . Hi cks, who gave last night his second lec ture, illustrated ,by experiments—operating upon the first comers who ch ose to present themselves from all parts of the house. W ere we not limited to space, we could write a great deal on yest er d ay ' s soiree, but we must be brief, and give a general resume of the impressions produced. The entertain ment opened by a very scientific lecture, very well delivered, upon the origin and science of mesmerism, &c. This in teresting discourse, illustrated by scientific demonstration, very much pleased the audience, and kept them on the qui vice for the practical experiments, which came on at the second part of the lecture. Twenty-nine gentlemen, of various sizes, ages, and temperaments, mounted the rostrum. There they underwent the influence of the very talented professor, who found amongst that number ten persons sta_ ceptible of that influen ce . rile nineteen non-susceptible withdrew after ten minutes,leaving the stage to the operator and those to be operated upon. But here again our space fails; suffice it to say that the susceptible subjects of Mr. Hicks first surprised and then convulsed the audience with laughter whenever they endeavoured to act or move contrary to his will, and yet they were all in their normal state, that is, nowise in the mesmeric sleep. The success of the lecturer was greeted throughout with long and loud plaudits, and a third lecture was announced for Tuesday next, the 6th init., when we hope to End a bumper house. APOTHECARIEe HALL.—The following are the names of gentlemen who passed their examination in the science and practice of medicine, and received certificates to Lractise, on Thursd a y, th e I st o f A pr il , 1852 : Arthur Robert omax, Hereford; Jos e ph D unn N e l son, Exeter; Thomas White Chester ' • William Field Belli n , G reat Yarmouth; George Vau s e Birks, Manchester ; Alfred H e d ger, South street, Wes'-squ are; Henry John Davis Mathews, Denmark hill; Thomas Quiller Couch, Palpero, Cornwall; Charles Richard Crossley, Ashby de la Zouch.

Mr. Frewen, M.P., has been laid up during the whole of this week with a very severe cold, which accounts for his name not appearing in the division on Tuesday night, as he is in the country. TUE ARMY.—Major-Gereral James Simpson, late commanding at Chatham, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday at one o'clock, and assumed the c ommand of the south western district, vice Lieut enant-General D'Aguilar, who has been acting lieutenant-gove rnor for the last two months,St. Thomas's bells rang a peal on hi s arrival.

In point of fact the weekly average is now very nearly six shillings per quarter higher than in the first seven days of the present year. For the mo ment there is a pause in the upward movement, and probably the price will remain at the point it has reached for some weeks to come. It will be seen how ever that the importations have been on a very limited scale. The truth is that for the last two months ithas been a profitable operation to export corn from some of the eastern counties to parts of Germany. In the centre and east of Europe there is positive scarcity. The Zoliverein have suspended the import duties on all grain till next harvest, and in same states the Governments have opened storehouses. Considerable supplies have been sent from France to Germany, and at present prices here it is not probable that importations would yield a profit from any part of Europe. The higher price, howevcr, has not failed to bring out larger supplies from the farmers, and while we are by no means sure that higher prices will not prevail before the end of May, it would be unwise for cautious people to overlook the con sideration that the market as it stands is not in a bad state for sellers. Perhaps we may be allowed to remind our readers that the present state of averages corre sponds very closely with the views we have expressed ever since last week." The negotiation of bills of exchange upon the prin cipal continental cities was effected yesterday afternoon at a slight decline for paper dated 90 days, on Paris, viz, 25 50 to 55 at firm rates on Amsterdam and Ham burgh, and at an advance to 1214 and 122 on Frank fort, and 12 45 to 50 on Trieste. The proceedings yesterday at the meeting of the Eastern Steam Navigation Company have excited a good deal of attention, and the expediency of a Parlia mentary inquiry is fully acquiesced in. The official returns of the Trade and Navigation of the United Kingdom for the month ending the sth March have been completed.

The vessels of the United Kingdom and its dependencies in creased, and the falling off was in Russian, Danish, French, Italian, and Belgian ships. This refers to the entries inwards. The outward clearances were 427,986 against 370,337 tons. The Amsterdam Market on the Ist inst. was rather better. The exports of the precious metals from London direct, during the week to Thursday last, were 332,600,,punces of silver and 10,340 ounces of gold.
