- MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLocK. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday was rather dull, although a fair business was done. Prices of all kinds were barely main tained, and the transactions were 6,000 bales, including 500 Pernam and Maranham, 6d. to 61d. ; 70 Bahia, 61 to 61d. ; 100 Egyptian, 51d. to 71d. ; 1,000 Surat, 31d. to 41d. ; and 60 Sea Islands, lOid. to ls. 81 per lb. In the Railway Share Market there was exceedingly little doing, and the few sales that took place were at lower prices. Accounts from France announce that the prices of sugar and coffee in the seaport town markets is rising considerably in consequence of the large purchases effeoted on English account, and that spe culation goes on with great vivacity. In Paris the retail price of loaf sugar has risen from 35 to 40 centimes per kilogramme, which has caused much sensation amongst the middle classes, who are large consumers of that article, as it is a second rise within the year. The influx of British gold, in payment for those commodities ex ported here, has aided to the easiness of the Money Market. Capitalists are making large purchases in the French Funds, which has given an impetus to business on the Bourse, and caused them to rise— the 3 per Cents. for money ruling at 10 centimes higher than the closing prices of Saturday, and 45c. in dealings for the close of the month. The cultivation of tobacco in Algeria has in creased so much, and the imports from that colony into France have become so considerable that it has affected the interests of those departments in the parent country which fproduce that article, and caused the Government to limit its importation to 4 millions of kilogrammes. Accounts from Holland and Belgium announce that there is a general rise in the prices of sugar and coffee in the principal markets, and large pur chases have been made on account of British traders. At Antwerp large stocks have been sold at an advance of 10 per cent. on former prices. Letters from Birmingham, in reference to the iron trade, mention thatthe misunderstanding be. tween some of the masters and men has terminated, and that the latter have returned to their employ ment at their former wages. Without the pres, sure of any activity there is still a sufficient num ber of orders to keep the works in steady opera tion, and the market, consequently, rules firm at previous quotations. Notwithstanding this, some further suspension has occurred however, but the liabilities are not of a very important amount. The market for English Securities has presented a buoyant appearance to-day, and the advanced rates of yesterday afternoon have been exceeded. The continuance of extensive purchases, both for investment and on speculation, together with the relief afforded to the Money Market by the liqui dation of the instalments due this day on the Con sols Loan, is the cause of the upward tendency. Consols for money opened about 88k to 88i, and are now 88k to 88i. The account values have been as high as 88 g to 88 b which prices have been maintained. Exchequer Bills are 103. to 7s. discount. The New 3 per Cents. are 871 to 87k, and the Reduced 87 to 87i. Bauk Stock is 209. Foreign securities are exceedingly quiet, the'only transactions having been in Spanish Deferred Stock at 38i, Turkish 6 per Cent. at 80 to 80k, and in the New Scrip at 31 to 3g, which, in the two last named, is a decided improvement. _ _ The following are the nominal prices of foreign stocks : Grenada Deferred Bonds, si to 7 ; Mexican, 19k ; Peruvian, 74 to 76 ; ditto Three per Cents., 52 to 54; Portuguese Four per Cents., 43 to 45 ; Russian Five per Cents., 94 to 96 ; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 85 to 88; Spanish New Deferred, 19k 20 ; ditto Three per Cents., 38i ; ditto Certificates, 4j to 4i ; ditto Passive, 61. The Railway Shares have all improved, but there is little activity in the market, although in one or two cases it is as much as to per cent. The Foreign Lines are better also, but rule quiet. There have been bargains in East India Guaran teed at steady prices. London Joint-Stock Bank Shares are 10s. higher. General Screw Steam are rather fiat. tillitITISH FUNDS TBIS DAY AT ONJ O'CLOCK.

Codring. ton, of the Royal George, brother of the Commander in-Chief of the Crimea. Thus the sons of the hero of Navarino are at this moment in command of two divi sions of English forces engaged against Russia and for Turkey. SHARE MARKETS. (THIS DAY.)

THIEVES AND RECEIVERS.—John Hyatt, 33, carman, Watkin Hyatt, 26, labourer, and Chas. F. Marshall, 36, general dealer, were indicted, the two former with steal ing at Lambeth half a ton of coals, the property of Win. Constantine Rowton and Co., coal merchants, Belvidere road, Lambeth. Donald Hastie, clerk to the prosecutors, said that John Hyatt was a carman in their employ, and Watkin Hyatt was engaged by him as trouncer. On Saturday, the 6tb of October, they sent seven tons of coals to Miss Reymer, four of which the prisoner John Hyatt had charge of. From information he received he spoke to Sergeant Romaine, and afterwards went to Mill-street, Lambeth walk, and watched about the house of the prisoner Mar. shall. About nine o'clock witness saw the van pull up at the shop of the latter prisoner, and then five sacks of coals were removed and the empty sacks replaced in the van which drove away. The coals in question were ordered for Miss Reymer, and John Hyatt had no right to sell them to any one else. A verdict of guilty was returned against John Hyatt and Marshall, and acquitted Watkin Hyatt. The Chairman sentenced John Hyatt to six months, and Marshall nine months in the House of Correction at Wandsworth. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) BOW-STREET. ROBBERY BY A SERVANT. —This morning a man named Damper was placed at the bar charged with robbing his employers, Messrs. Nettlethorp, iron mongers, carrying on business in Holborn. From the evidence it appeared that for some consider able period a suspicion was entertained that some per son was robbing the firm, but the prisoner was not for some time suspected to be the person, but from certain circumstances it was thought advisable to mark the money in the till, to which the prisoner had access, to test his honesty. Accordingly last night the second son of Mr. Net tlethorp, after the premises were closed and the prisoner had left, marked the whole of the money in the till, thirty-four pieces, amounting to thirty-five shillings, and then returned the money and safely locked it up. Among the money so marked was balf-a-crown. At the usual hour this morning the prisoner arrived at the shop and immediately began his usual work, such as arranging the articles in the shop, &c., and dur ing which time he was left alone, and of course the till was at his mercy. According to previous arrangement a police constable entered the shop this morning shortly after eight o'clock, and the till was examined in the pri soner's presence, and three shillings and a half-crown were found missing. The prisoner was then searched by the officer, and on him was found the three shillings and half-a-crown, all of which bore the mark he had placed upon them the previous evening. A skeleton key was also found in his pocket, which unlocked the till. The Magistrate said it was a bad case, and fully com mitted the prisoner for trial. THAMES. ►SAVAGE ASSAULT ON A WIFE—SIX MONTHS' '3OEI - King, a tall and po% erful man, a dock labourer, was brought before Mr. Ingham, charged with assaulting his wife, Louisa King, a re spectable-looking woman, who carried a child in her arms, which was like a skeleton. The complainant stated that she had been married to her husband for two years, and that he had taken her from a good home and reduced her from affluence to poverty. She kept a beer shop when he married her, and was getting a good living. He had since repeatedly ill-used her. On the Ist of May last he was brought to that court and sentenced to one month's imprisonment for beating her. He had since ill-used her and was con stantly intoxicated. He was, in fact, a sly drunkard, who put his money by and went out and drank by himself, and came home and pretended he was ill. Last night she went in search of her husband, and found him at the Greenland Fishery public-house, in Redman's-row, Stepney. She asked him to come home, and he abused her and knocked her down, with the baby in her arms. When she got, he ill-used her most brutally, and, beat her about th head and body with his clenched fists. The byestander interfered, and he was given into custody. In answer to questions by Mr. Ingham, the witness said that she bad taken out several warrants against her husband, and only appeared against him once. He had communicated to her a loathsome disease. She had kept her beer-shop until eight weeks ago, when heturned her out of doors, and brought in several " dirty huzzies" whom he had been in the habit of treating. The prisoner, in defence, said his wife was a habitual drunkard, and had been drinking that morning. Mr. Ingham—Does thi s woman appear to be tipsy ? Mr. Livingston, the Chief Usher—No, Lir ; but she is very ill, and her child appears to be dying. It is in a sad state. Mrs. King sobbed bitterly, and said she had been half starved, and had been in bad health from her husband's ill-treatment ever since she married him. She had re ceived 30s. front her husband in eight weeks. Her con stitution was completely broken up, and she was afraid her infant would not live many hour , . Joseph Atkins confirmed the statement of the com plainant as to the assault last night, and said the pri soner struck her a dreadful blow on the side with his clenched fist, and said he would knock her b—y breast bone in. Other witnesses deposed to the savage nature of the assault last night at the Greenland Fishery. The woman was in a very low condition, and fainted away, and her husband was in such a savage humour that be would have killed her if the people in the house had not interfered. The prisoner gave utterance to the most dreadful threats and exclamations, and repeatedly struck his wife, and knocked her down, swearing every time that he would knock her breast bone in. One witness, living opposite to the prisoner and his wife for some time, described him as a drunken, profligate fel low, and the wife as a sober and industrious woman. Mr. Ingham commented at some length on the atrocious conduct of the prisoner towards his wife, and sentenced him to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for six calend2r months.

EXTENSIVE ROBSERY OF BOOKS.— William Cross, a man of short stature, about 50 years of age, was charged before Mr. Broughton, on suspicion of having stolen a large quantity of books from schools, news papers from coffee-shops, &e. Edward Breekly, S X 7 9, said that about five o'clock last evening be was on duty in Camden Town, when he was called by Mr. Cattle, pawnbroker, and who stated to him that the prisoner had offered a book for pledge which he believed had been stolen. Witness, in conse quence of the prisoner not letting him know where he got it from, took him into custody. He never said a word all the way to the station-house. He was there seam :led, when a Dispatch and an illustrated ?Yeas of Sunday last, each of which were smeared with coffee, were found in his pocket. (These were produced, as was also the book, which was a splendid edition of" Naomi, or the last days of Jerusalem," published by Hall and Virtue, Paternoster-row.) Witness asked the prisoner where he lived, when he gave the direction, No. 19, Torriana-grove, Camden Town. Witness went there and found the prisoner's wife, who was in care of the house, which is to be let. He made a search and disco vered 50 duplicates relating to about 150 volumes, some of which witness believed to be valuable works, which have been pledged at various pawnbrokers. (The dupli cates were produced, and they showed that the prisoner had realised a large amount of money.) In answer to the magistrate the policeman stated that he had not been able since the apprehension of the pri soner to go to the pawnbrokers, but that there were several persons present who had been robbed of books, and who bad seen them at the p awnb rokers'. There were among them a gentleman living at H ampstea d , two ladies who have an educational establishment at Islington, &c.

In the days that preceded the first French Re volution, when opinion on the Continent was com paratively free, and German sovereigns were not afraid of uttering liberal sentiments, and feeling, or at least professing, a sincere interest not merely in the taxpaying and recruiting powers, but in the progress, welfare, and enlightenment of their sub jects, there lived an Emperor of Austria who ren dered illustrious in the annals of Europe the second by her jo se p p h r c t o y n o f u e r t r h e f d u n S e o s v t e i m r e a i g b n l e . of the two names b orne w ith some w h at l ess ec l at 11. i benefits on the Austrian church and people by his manly and vigorous resistance to the encroachmentt of the Court of Rome. It was his policy to vest the go vernment of the church in the bishops, and the supreme power over the bishops in himself. It 'was in vain that the Pope undertook a journey in order to dissuade the Emperor from his policy. The Pope was courteously received, splendidly en tertained, and sent back to Rome without having been able to obtain the slightest concession. From that time to this the Austrian Church has enjoyed, in greater or less measure, the benefits of thenoble stand made on her behalf by the Emperor, until, on the sth of this present November, a document ' was solemnly promulgated as fatal to the power and unity of government in Austria as the great conspiracy the detection of which we celebrate on that day would have been to the power and inde pendence of the temporal and spiritual govern ment of England. In this most strange and most discreditable document the Emperor of Austria seems to complete the measure of those distresses and humiliations which will make his reign ever memorable in the chequered annals of the house of Hapsburg. Young as he is, the Emperor has already been forced to confess himself vanquished by his own insurgent subjects, to beg for the restitution of his Crown at the feet of a neigh bouring and contemptuous Sovereign, to aban don the position of armed menace which he had taken up, and to disband an army which be had not resolution to use. _ These, however, were misfortunes forced upon him by stern necessity, humiliations in which, though there might be much to pity, there was little to condemn. But the shame ful Concordat with the Pope is a voluntary act of degradation, justified by no State necessity, en forced by no overpowering conjuncture of circum stances. It is a spontaneous act of self-spoliation and self-abasement, a voluntary betrayal and sur render of the most sacred rights of the Crown, the clergy, and the people. It assumes the dimensions of a great political crime, and exhibits despotism in it 3 worst form, not of caprice and tyranny, but of deliberate and complete betrayal of the rights and interests intrusted in an evil hour to its selfish and faithless keeping. The Concordat consists. of 3G articles, every one of them a deadly stab to freedom of conscience and the independence of the Crown, the church, and the laity of Austria. The first article declares the maintenance of the Roman Ca tholic religion, with all the privileges which, by the laws of the church, it ought to have, unlimited per secution of heretics being of the number. Thus fall at a single blow that liberty of conscience and . . freedom of ;pinion in religious matters which have hitherto so honourably distinguished the Austrian Government. The second article gives to the bishops, clergy, and laity free communication with the Pope, without the intervention of the temporal ruler, thus depriving the Emperor of any power or control over the national church, and placing it in the power of the Pope to contrive and execute the most dangerous conspiracies against the Govern ment. It is impossible to carry the doctrine of im perium in imperio further, and tolerant Austria has thus submitted to a yoke which would have been scorned by bigoted Spain in the days of Ferdinand and Isabella. The third article gives the bishops complete authority, pastoral and legis lative, over their clergy ; and the fourth places this authority under the control of the Papal chair. The fifth article places all public and private schools under the control of the bishops ; and the sixth gives the bishops the power of appointing and re moving the only persons allowed to teach sacred theology. The seventh article provides that none but Catholic professors shall be allowed to teach anything in the middle-class schools, and the books of instruction are to be chosen by the bishops. By the eighth article the Emperor is permitted to choose the inspector of the schools of the diocese, but under the degrading condition that the candi dates from whom he is to select shall be chosen by the bishops. The ninth article promises the help of the Government to suppress such books as are dangerous to religion in the judgment of the bishops. The tenth article establishing ecclesiasti cal courts for the punishment of the clergy and the trial of cases relating to marriage and betrothal. , The eleventh article arms the bishop with the power of inflicting ecclesiastical punishment on clergy and laity ; and the twelfth article surrenders to the spiritual courts the power of deciding on the right of patronage, except in the case of a disputed suc cession. We will not enumerate all the articles, which will be found at length elsewhere, but it must occur to any one who has read this brief , abstract of the most important to inquire what can have been the motives which induced Francis Joseph to sign this shameful capitulation, aud, without any apparent consideration, to abdicate his right to control the actions, the education, and the administration of justice between his sub jects to a foreign Prince whose own govern •ment of his own dominions is notoriously one of the most corrupt and tyrannical in the world, and of whom he has no assurance that he may not at any moment become the tool of a foreign hos tile State, and employ the vast power he acquires over the subjects of Austria for the purpose of her dismemberment and destruction. We believe the motive for this Concordat to be the desire of Aus tria to place herself firmly at the head of the Ger manic Confederation, and completely to defeat and extinguish the rivalry of Prussia. A noble oppor tunity offered for effecting this darling object of her policy by joini ng th e Western Powers, and taking a leading part in the European war of in dependence. But for such a step Austria was no more prepared than Prussia : and therefore, with her usual preference of the more ignoble over the more generous sp r i ngs o f ac ti on s h e h as determined to owe her victory in the struggle to the ignor ance and superstition, instead of to the admiration and respect, of mankind. She might have become the leader of Germany by vindicating her from the attacks of a temporal aggressor ; she has preferred to rest her claims to supremacy on the good ser vice which does her country by selling it into the hands of a despicable spiritual tyranny. The path of honour trodden by the allies is too hazardous, and Austria deems her object may be more readily obtained by the path of shame. She ought to know her own game best, yet we cannot escape the conviction that in this policy she is overreaching herself. The Austrian church views with the utmost alarm and terror the sur render of its liberties into the hands of the Court of Rome, and the enlightened portion of the laity regard such a proceeding with un disFembled disgust. It may well turn out that by the Concordat, instead of rallying round her a united Catholic party, Austria has only been the means of creating schism and divisions in the church, and that this violent ultramon tane aggression may be met with an equally energetic reaction. It may also well be that the immense powers which she has thus conceded over her domestic affairs to a foreign Prince may be em ployed by him as the instrument of France or Rus sia, and that, in exchange for a very doubtful immediate advantage, she may find that she has surrendered powers of internal regulation which it may be difficult, or even impossible to resume. Surely it was scarcely wise to introduce into an empire of discordant nationalities, whose only bond of cohesion is the sword, another anarchical in fluence, to be exercised by a Prince, of whom it is only certain that he will use it without the slightest regard for the welfare of Austria, it not under the immediate control of her rivals and her enemies. (From the Morning Post of this day. ) The appointment of Mr. Labouchere as Colonial Secretary of State is an evidence that the duties of that important post are better understood and appre ciated than they were some 20 years since, or even nearer the present day. Lord Palmerston might, no doubt, have chosen a more eloquent man than the former President of the Board of Trade—he might have fixed on one with more showy qualifi cations—on one whose name would have filled more satisfactorily the ears of the multitude ; but he would hardly have found a Secretary of more ster- ' ling honesty, one on whose principles and conduct the public could more fairly depend—one whose powers of labour were better fitted to the vast work of the office that ho undertakes. It is singular how little public attention is directed to this last important quality. The world hears that Sir William Moles worth, whose hereditarily delicate constitution sank beneath the arduous work of his place, is suc ceeded by Mr. Labouchere, and it asks not what is , his power of application to the eager claims of the fifty colonies which are cast on his hands—not what is his ability to go justly and fairly through tho tortuous and angry quatrols of these difficult dependencies with the mother country and with themselves—not how far he is able to decide the measure of interference to be exercised in Sierra Leone, and the extent of protection to be shown to Australia and to Canada. These are matters which the public, in its present state of warlike ardour, thinks little of—all it asks or cares for is, what does the Colonial Secretary think about the war Is he truly and strongly for carrying it out with vigour ? Does he share the fixed resolution of the Premier to submit to no incomplete peace, to adopt no terms but those which were fixed by Right and Justice for the War ? We cannot very much r egre t th e f orce of a spirit which is carrying England triumphantly and ho nourably forward ; and we regret it the less, per haps, because in the present instance we believe that we can give a satisfactory answer to the in quiries which it dictates. A glance at the late Par liamentary course of Mr. Labouchere will show that he has steadily and straightforwardly adhered to the necessity of the vigorous measures of war pursued by the present Ministry. He is not a ram to waste much oratory on the subject, nor is he likely to dis play himself in speeches on matters in which he is not immediately concerned ; but he is a man whose abili ties and powers have always been conscientiously used, and have never been sacrificed to the cry of a faction—have never pandered to the longing for place. Mr. Labouchere, therefore, judging him by his votes, is one whose sagacity has led him to the honest conviction that the war must be carried out vigorously and well. He has other qualifications, in our opinion, nearly as necessary for the place he is about to fill. Our Colonial Empire has spread of late years to an enormous extent, and it is yearly increasing. It is as impossible to govern it on the poco curante system—on the system which would have its rights and its wrongs to be settled or unsettled by Colo nial-office clerks, while the Secretary was sitting down nightly amid loud and prolonged cheering from the house, after brilliant speeches on the merits of the war—as it is to govern it on the plan which would jealously arrogate all power and every measure in the colonies to the mother country— which would rule Australia at the other side of the world as if those magnificent colonies were a Channel island, and treat the adult strength of Canada as if she were a babe in leading-strings. Mr. Labouchere has experience, and has shown sagacity and ability enough to be free from these fatal errors. He has tenacity and ability enough to fix steadily on the hard work that has to be done by the Colonial Secretary of State. We trust that he will adhere to what,t3o B / 1 113 the great rule of the present Government,. and do the business of his place well and thoroughly, •with tact and temper, in spite of all extraneouxexcitement. Some surprise has been expressed, some sneers have been vented, at the charge that Mr. Labou chere is a Whig, and that Lord Palmerston has been forced to fall back on the Whig party to form his Ministry. For our own parts, we thought that the last of that once famous body had ceased to recognise any particular principles which held it together. The Tories have suffered the same fate —the Protectionists have fared no better—the Peelites have faded into the Peace Party. The world of England is divided into two great bodies —those who uphold constitutional order and the greatness of the country ; and those who long for change. though it involve a fall to insignificance. Among the former—from Whigs, Peelites,,, or Tories—Lord Palmerston has sought his men. The latter he avoids, and faces sternly and uncom promisingly. (Front the Morning Herald of this day.) The course recently taken by the Premier reveals both his distress and the failure of his attempts at relief. Only a state of the most frightful difficulty could justify the extraordinary course taken by Lord Palmerston, when he tried to seduce—first Lord Derby's son, and then Mr. Gladstone's other self, from the opposition benches. Neither of these distinguished meu could have accepted his lord ship's invitation without the greatest peril to his own character. They both acted prudently, as well as honourably, in repelling his advances. A Liberal paper published in Edinburgh thus describes the transaction : " Some accounts say that the Cabinet is divided upon the subject of the war ; that the late Sir William Moles worth kept the balance inclined to the war side ; and that the peace party, among whom the Duke of Argyll, Sir George Grey, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and others are reckoned, are straining every nerve to have a Colonial Minister appointed that will vote with them for peace. I must say I do not believe in the reality of either of these statements as the causes of the delay. It is more likely that the policy of the Premier, as shown in his negotiations with Lord Stanley, still continues to guide him, and that he is on the outlook for some man not now belonging to his party, who will strengthen his Government in the House of Com mons, where it is at present uncommonly weak, or, at all events, is utterly disproportioned, in oratorical powers, to the formidable opponents which muster in front and on its right flank. But it is plain that the Minister's position just now is rather embarrassing." This writer has evidently penetrated the seem ing mystery. Lord Palmerston is an experienced leader of the House of Commons, and he knows full well that to get through a whole session with such a troop of performers as his present company is wholly out of the question. Here is the list : PALMERSTON. LEWIS. LABOUCHERE. WOOD. F. PEEI. GREY. COWPER. SMITH. HALL. We will venture to say that, for weakness which is quite ludicrous, for imbecility which provokes laughter, the present century has seen nothing com parable to this list. But the utter impossibility of going on with such a troop becomes more glaringly manifest when we remember that they will hardly be left to break down from mere incompetence. Facing them will be . ranged, in different parts of the opposition benches, the whole talent of the House of Com mons. We may arrange the principal names in three columns : Mr. Disraeli. Mr. Gladstone. M r . B r i g ht. Lord Stanley. Mr. S. Herbert. Mr. Cobden. Sir J. Pakington. Sir J. Graham. Mr.M. Gibson. SirE.L.B.Lytton. Mr. Cardwell. Mr. Layard. Mr. Walpole. Mr. Roundell Mr. Laing. Mr. Henley. Palmer. Mr. Stafford. It is abundantly clear that in any contest of mere ability, either of these three sections would be more than a match for the whole Ministry. But what is to become of a Treasury bench filled with Woods, Smiths, Greys, and Lewises, when opposed to the cross-fire of all these three parties ? It is this desperate state of things, doubtless, which leads to the report, which constantly re vives and re-appears, that " there will be a dissolu tion before Easter." We feel no doubt that that very excellent judge, Mr. Goodenough Hayter, has whispered his private opinion to more than one intimate friend, that "it cannot be expected that so ricketty a concern can last more than a few weeks." "We must dissolve," he would say, " before the end of March, or we shall be fairly blown out of our seats." The course is clear, then, for a dissolution ; but it will be a dissolution of a new kind, and for a new reason. Heretofore a Prime Minister has only dissolved Parliament in its fourth year when that Parliment has proved refractory, and brought the wheels of the machine of the state to a stand. If the country is bent, for instance, on carrying on the war with vigour, and if Parliament refuses the means, or obstructs the measures of Government, then a fair ground of appeal to the people is furnished. Tiso Minister dissolves, and the people " know the rea son why." But what if no such obstacle be interposed ? What if Parliament refuses no supply, and g ives no s no tangible ground of complaint ? Can theNli s le ter dissolve Parliament, merely because be bench,g°t a batch of very dull fellows on the Treasury.t,and wisdom is annoyed at the superior talent,theMinisterial w' wisdom of the opposition ? Will candidates plainly say, " Lord Palmerston has or dered a new election, in the hope rid of Mr. Disraeli and Mr. G ladstone , be and that Mr. Bright and Mr. Layard may left out of the h a reason as this be new`Parliament ?" Can s l ue ? decently given to the rtriiilk of the probable re- And who can calmly ayPremier, indeed, who has re sult ?

Thirty-three names were ob tained by ballot, and then each party had the privilege of striking off eleven. As their object always was to strike off the ablest men on the other side, the residue was always found to consist of the merest third-rate men. This operation was called " knocking out the brains of a committee." In like manner, if Lord Palmerston dissolves Parlia ment in March next, simply because his colleagues are wholly unable to meet their antagonists in fair i debate, hi s o bj ec t w ill ev id ent l y b e t o "knock out," if he ca n , " th e b ra i ns o f th e opposition."i (Front the Morning Advertiser of this day.) We yesterday announced, and repeat the an nouncement to-day, that an Alien Bill for the ex. pulsion of political refugees from our shores, is to be brought into Parliament next session. There can be no doubt of the accuracy of our information. It comes to us from various quarters, all of them of undoubted authenticity. It is something to be made aware of the designs of Ministers so early. The country is thus forewarned. It will be its own fault it it do not turn its information to account. It will have itself to blame if it lose a moment in forearming itself. If ever there was an announce ment which ought to arouse the people of E ng l an d to a sense of their obligations to themselves, to others, and to the cause of liberty, that announce ment is the one just made. If the contemplated measure be carried, then "Farewell, a long farewell," to the freedom of England. Let Ministers but succeed in that des potic and daring attempt to destroy a right which is one o f the greatest glories of our Constitution, and the next exhibition of their designs on the liberties of the country will be in the shape of an effort to annihilat e the freedom of the Press: The freedom of the Press is the greatest eye-sore to all despotic Governments, just because it is the only remaining safeguard for the liberties of the people ; for the House of Commons has entirely ceased to act as a barrier to the aggressions of Governments on popular rights. So far as that body are con cerned, the most sacred parts of the Constitution may be invaded and destroyed at any time. But for the Press of this country we had long before now been consigned over to the tender mercies of a system scarcely less despotic than that which ezists on the Continent. The country cannot feel, a suffi ciently deep sense of its obligations to a free and fear less, an honest and independent Press. But that in valuable institution, that mighty barrier against the flowing tide of despotism in England, is now in im minent peril. We repeat, that if the right of asylum to political refugees from other lands is to be abo lished, the freedom of the Press will as surely fol low as the darkness of night succeeds the light of day. _ It is, therefore, of the utmost importance that the people of England should at once rise up in all their might and majesty to confront any Govern ment, no matter who may be its head, or of whom it is composed, that will venture to bring forward a measure which is not only in violation of the Con stitution, but which would prove both degrading to the national character and utterly destructive of the liberties of the country. If ever there was an occasion when all those minor diversities of opi nion which exist among the friends of the popular cause, ought to be buried in the dust, and a grand national organisation be entered into with a view to vindicate a great principle. and resist a daring aggression on one of the most valuable of English rights—that occasion is the present. Happily, we are on the eve of a dissolution of Parliament, and, therefore, the members of the House of Commons are just now particularly accessible to popular in fluences. Let meetings be everywhere held for the purpose of denouncing, in the strongest and loud est terms, the contemplated despotic measure, and calling on all those representatives who have bees returned by Liberal constituencies, to give a so lemn pledge that they will, by every means in their power, endeavour to defeat the measure. The city of London ought to set the example ; but if it fail s in its duty, then let Marylebone, Westminster, or some other metropolitan borough, take the lead. Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Glasgow, and all the other great towns will forthwith follow, and we shall, before many weeks have elapsed, witness such an expression of public feeling on the subject, as will deter the Palmerston Government from carrying their intention into effect.
