LONDON, FRIDAY, JULY 13, 1849. The dilatory progress of Reform may pass into a proverb. " The course of true lova never did run smooth," says the poet, and assuredly the difficulties, the delays, and the disappointments which check the advancement of Reform, outrival the uneven course f any true love upon record. Notwithstanding the liberal spirit which predominates throughout the country (of which predominance the hearty response to our appeal for the Hungarians is a satisfactory and conclusive evidence), notwithstanding the liberal feeling of the country, and notwithstanding the fact that a Liberal Illinistry rules in Downing-street, the proposal for shortening the duration of Parliament, was okWednesday rejected by a majority of 132 to 57 ! This result will excite a little surprise (only a little, for experience has made us wise), some sorrow, and very much indignation. The sentiments so eloquently and heartily uttered in the House on Wednes day by the truly Liberal Representatives of Lam beth, Ludlow, Manchester, Marylebone, and Montrose are the sentiments of the majority of the Liberals of the United Kingdom. The people of this country have an idea—it may he a somewhat extravagant one, in some quarters perhaps it may be found an incon venient one—the people of this country have an idea that names should represent thing. Our matter of-fact "nation of shopkeepers" are not gifted with that happy power of imagination, more marvellous than the ;philosopher's stone, by which sorrow and sin and suffering, are coevE red into glory, and fine words are valued above fine act?. ; and the names of truth, and honour, and philanthropy, supersede the realities themselves. This happy faculty, which in old times made a wreath of parsley more precious than life itself, in hardly known in our toggy atmosphere. JoaN BULL requires substantial evidence before he ' will part with his aflruiratien or his menet% Those who are acquainted with this national weakness (which unhappily Lord J. Rustiatz, Sir G. GREY, and their colleagues are not) will, therefore, not be sur prised that an opinion is prevalent that a Liber al Ministry should be liberal de f a ct o as we ll as de jars. Whether or not they are so the debat e of Wednesd re. ay may demcnstrato. We commend thAt deb a t e t o t h e attentive perusal of those who have not made up their minds upon the above-mentioned point, or upon the advisability of shortening the duration of Parliament. The most cogent reason adduced in favour of the alteration is t ► be found in Mr. D . EYNCOURT'S remark, that " practically we have of late had short Parliaments, and we have thus had all the evils and none of the advantages of the system." Without doubt Sir G. GREY supposed that he was strengthen ' = ing his cause when he reminded the House that "the /- overture 'duration of no less than six Parliaments, from 1826 to 1841, was only two years and a hall," but so far from strengthening the Septennial cause, that ad Mil Hers: FYl*it s de•iith hl9tv, We have, by this • • • • t ikL,IWt7 A • T" rt ASbUiIIiNCE COMPANY.

TO CORiti4.SPONUENTS J. W. Hopkins. Ego-rton groat., btiatford road, near Manchester—We ansverrd this gentli man in a notice to Correspondents inserted in our itnprt ssion of Wed nesday evening. J. 11. N. and J. EL—Nothing has been seen or heard of our Correspondent's ci mwunication; with( r are we surprised that such should be the case. considering the manner in which it is said to have been trans m tr. d. THE SUN, i showing, already had short Parliaments in practice, but not in theory, and thus, as Mr. D'EyNcousti truthfully observed, we have had all the evils an,' none of the good of the system. We have had the if evils there be in the frequent re-formation (• not reformation) of the H .use, but we have not ha. the more than equivalent advantages of brief Parlia ments, because that brevity of duration was a mat: e+ of chance, and moreover was not anticipated at th. time of the election. Hence, in the first place, that too prevalent but most reprehensible system of bribery and corruption which characterise the election of Members of the House of Common. , , has been in no wise diminished by the fact, that a Parliament has only lasted for two or three years. because that fact was not expected, and a seven years' price had been paid. In the second place, the chief' advantage of a short Parliament—namely, theponstant sense of responsibility which his brief tenure of power imposes upon each individual Member, is lost when that tenure is theoretically of long duration. With seven years in prospect, he can afford to turn: a deaf ear to the once " sweet voices " of his consti tuents. No matter if the pages of HANSARD fitlsif the promises of the hustings, the day of reckoning v far off, and the representative may misrepresent wal impunity. Those Legislators who truly redeem the promises of their canvas, who worthily acquit themselves of the trust reposed in them, can (it might reasonably be supposed) have not the slightest objec tion to give a frequent account of their stewardship. How, then, shall we account for the largeness of the number of those who on Wednesday declared in favour of the Septennial Act ? We should be unwilling. indeed, to account for that majority by the inference which so naturally suggests itself ; nevertheless, we are somewhat disappointed to find in the list of the anti• Reformers many names whose past associations render that position most anomalous. In the current number of the Edinburgh Review, just published, appears a clever historical narrative_ of the rights of the Magyars, rights which be longing to that great race during many pre• ceding centuries, have been acknowledged b) the (1% nasty of Hapsburg during the last three hundred years, namely, ever since that memor able battle of Mohacs which annihilated the Royal line of-Jagcllon. So far from being a mere province of Austria, Hungary has been recognised as an independent Sovereignty from the date of 1526, when, although the Crowns became: blent together, the realms still continued separate. This independence, indeed, was not only an imprescriptable right enjoyed by miny successive, generation., but it was expre,sly. confirmed by the voices of numerous monarchs, and by the writtet declaration of various public documents. Speaking of the Hungarians, the Reviewer remarks vets felicitously, that "the pedigrees of their immunitie. during the long space of three centuries (1526-1848) continued unimpaired." By the coronation oath solemnly pronounced at Presburg by fourteen Ger man successors to the Crown of St. Stephen, it was proclaimed that Hungary enjoyed a dis tinct and independent nationality. That oath had been formally renewed in 1687, on the occasion of the "elective" crown being " Entailed" on the descendants of RUDOLPH. Its stipulation was for mally avowed, in 1723, by the .words of the Prag matic Sanction. In 1790, when a comprehensive compact was concluded between the Magyars and LEOPOLD, it was explicitly recognised by the teat, article of the treaty, that this right of independen: nationality could never be assailed without a direct violation of the constitutional privileges of the people. Beyond which, as a kind of supplementary confirmation of all those formal and reiterated a'surances that the laws and liberties of Hungary were in no degree subservient to those et joy ed by the Austrians, it was guaranteed on the 11th of April, 1848, by the ex-Emperor FEE DINAND, in his character of King of flutioata, that the people of that country should pos. sess an independent Ministry responsible to the Dirt alone, and that the Palatine should hence forth retain the title, the pomp, and the authority of a Viceroy. So much for the immemorial rights of the Hun garians. So much for those rights which have been asserted generation after generation after the uniou of the imperial crown of RUDOLPH with the ropi diadem of Sr. Stephen. So much for those "con cessions," as they are styled by the cimarille w Vienna, but as the Edinburgh Reviewer declares then to be more correctly designated "the statutes (olc and new) of that kingdotn." So much for th ise rights which have been sworn to by fiurteen Encerur Kings, and which are now assailed by fire and sword, by pillage and incendiarism, by the cannon and the gibbet, by cruelty and despotism. Those rights ex press themselves in the one fact, the constitutio: al independence of Hungsry, and upon this point thus speaks the Edinburgh Review—" There can be no clearer fact in the history of Europe than the consti tutional independence qf Hungary ." Further on the same distingui,hed org,n observes that the present &aims of the Hungarians " neither rest upon d subttul tradition:, nor are buried in obscure and obsolete docutnenrs—Hungarian iwtitutions are not merely title-deeds, as old as the connexion of Hungary and Austria; but both in their spirit and their letter they have been solemnly recognised and renewed at every election or • accession to the throne." And yet it is because the Magyars, under Kossunt, are defending their ancient institujons that they are stigmatiz,d as rebels by my Lord JOHN Russem.; and it is because their Liberator i, endeavouring to compass the glorious aims, of patriotism by all heroic achievement,., that he is slandered by every anonymeu= bully paid to do the dirty work of reaction. While the English Government and the Conservative press are either by flagrant diatribes or by ambiguous corn mentaries, striving to cast odium upon the Hunga rians, it behoves the English people to pronounce themselves in the boldest language as a race which sympathises with those illustrious soldiers of liberty This many of our countrymen have already done . Let others emulate their enthusiasm for freedom and justice, by aiding the cause of Hungary, through the medium of the Testimenial.

In the Legislative Assembly on Wednesday, the . .linister for Public Wor ks con-ented to the postpone nent of the Strasburg and Spire Rsilway Bill. It is said that the Marquis of NORMANDY has pre -,ented a note to the French Government, from Lord i'ALMERSTON, demanding explicit explanations as to he intentions of France with regard to Rome—how ong it is intended that the French army shall ecupy the Roman territory, ani whether it is re -olved to support the Pore. The Legitunatist and Jesuit journals are setting up i cry for the absolute and unconditional restoration of the POPE; but we believe that no such folly is in ter,ded by the French Government, if we may take he following, which appears in the semi-official jour ,;al, La Petrie, as the programme of their policy on this question : " It is first of all necessary,' observes La Patric, • that the admini,trative reforms commenced by Pius X. shall not be abandoned, as certain persons ton often repeat at Gaeta. It is necessary, on the contrary, tot only to resume, but to extend them beyond what vas, perhaps, previously intended. Without wish vg to interfere in the details of the internrl admin. 'titration of the country we are of opinion that the irst and most indispensable refor m oug ht t o con sist )c using the knife boldly on the old Trivincial or :aniz--tion. which, by multiplying beyond measure the - -i . .lministrative machinery, entailed in the Roman midget, an expenditure which it has never been and is now less than ever able to support. One of the great evils of the ancient regime was the almost total occupation of offices by ecclesiastics. An end must be Put to this system. Religion was injured by it as much as the State. It will be necessary to secularize, once or all, the whole of the public- offieers. A large exten iion of municipal institutions will also become an urgent justifi , d by a double object— tti i h e r c e rs t e , a u d t i o m ty i i n n — v i s i a t t e r a n t t h c i o c e n e s p s o o i t t p ) t e - hl eir i o o n w o n f if h is 4 sirs, o n i fi t h c a e rSt ownate s n to_ oiediate interests, which is only just; and then, as a -natter of prudence, to form fur political life and the of more extensive freedom, that same population, which is as yet far from under tending what is real dignity and independence. Ile reform in the administration of justice ought to be radical. The RAnan Tribunals multipli. d rd infifaum, engender, by the diversity of jurisdic ion, and of their proceedings, a multitude of abuses. Their diminution is absolutely necessary. The substi oition of a clear and just notion of our codes from the abyrinth of the actual laws, will be followed by a more regular administration of justice. The Roman Govern 'tient, by the adoption of reform on this head, will only flow the example set it by Naples, and by many other European states. But France must not stop here. We faire that her intervention should be followed by the „tenting in this noble country of the fertile germ of in- Aitutions, really representative, such as, fir instance, the reation of one or mere Assemblies, of a Council - General, or whatever may be the eranninatien of this elective body—ot an assent 'lege of men for the purpose of explainirg and de endieg. in a direct and legsl manner, the views and the .feces,aties of the nation. Let us nut, however, deceive urselves. The difficulties will be great, inasmuch as he population of the Roman States, rescued by us from ppression and tyranny, may not yet be dispited to re ounce ideas in which they had been accustomed to live or so many ages of absolute rule. Such are the great werests of justice, of reason, and of humanity which are now to be discussed. We repeat it, the opposition sill be great. This opposition will take a c-lour of , ights from the too recent recollections of many -orrows, of fears, of real suffering, and of many de ., ptious experienced by the heart of the Pontift in his earch atter what was good and true. It may also be Corti&d by the weakness of many well meaning men, who luring these latter days at Rome did not perform their duty. But ultimately, we cannot permit eurs-lves to •loubt of the fact, the will of the French Government oust be serious, its desire ardent, to relieve the St a t es rt the Church from past suffering, and which, if re newed, would infallibly again submit them to the rule if demagogues. We do hope that, notwithstanding the tifficulties of the situation, we shall soon see the Papacy —supported by the councils of the Republic, after re cognising and experiencing the disinterested benefits fontkrred by our arms—enter on the path of the most argent, the most indispensable reforms; no matter how ;Ai.itui they may be to the instincts, or, perhaps, the :.arieour its impassioned friends." The Presse contains the following :—" It, has been remarked that M. DROUTN DE LHUYS, named am iiassador to England, is designated in the Moniteur being sent on a temporary mission. RM. Daourzi DE Luurs had been appointed purely and simply as Ambassador he must have given in his resignation as representative of the people. But he is on a tem porary mission, and that gives him six months' re 'trite. It is thought that by that time the electoral taw will have been revised, and then M.

Radstadt was terribly bombarded on the 7th, but according to the last accounts it still held out, and the garrison had hoisted a black flag in token thut they would rather die than surrender. The report having been very generally circulated that the GRAND DUKE intends to resign tne govern tn.-nt of the duchies immediately after the suppression of the insurrection, the Frankfurt Zritung as••erts that it is empowered to !sac that ti,e report in question is totally without foundation.

RUNIuURED DEFEAT PASKEWITC The Belgian journal the Nation has the following : —" Important news has been r=ceived by us from the Hungarian army of operator's opp , bsed to the Russian army ut 110 000 men, command d by Prince Pam E WITCH. It is not our u ual correspond, nt vl.) writes to us, but we have reason to c: , elieve that it is in his name thst one of his friends has sent us the following communication : On the Ist and 2,1 of July, DEMBINSKI, with his Own corps d'artnee, and all the re , erves of the veteran troops drawn from the army of oFe-rations now act ing in different parts of Hungary, amounting alto gether to eighty thoussed men, attstked tho Russian army in the defiles between Miskol, z and Erlau. The attack took place in flank, so as to drive the corps, co!nmanded by the Parsice in person, into the marshes of the Theiss. We have not received any details of this important battle, but the success appears to have been si complete that the i.ame Hungarian reserves of veterans, to the, number 0t40,000, men marched the next dac by Waiter) for Komurn, to reinfOrce the army of GEORGE; who, from the 4th of July, has been able to resume the offensive against the Austru-Russian armies. DEM- B uisgi, with 55,000 men, was in pursuit of the re mains of the army of PASICAWITCII, and it is probable that immediately the news of DEMBINSKI'S victory becomes known, the warlike population of the defiles, in which the Russian Prince has imprudently engaged himself, will rise en masse to cut off his retreat through the passes. He will not find it so easy a matter to retreat through the passes of the Carpathians as he did to advance. His advance was purposely facilitated, in order to draw him on to the field of battle which the Mag yars had chosen htfcrehand.

CuPENIIAGEN, JOLT B.—The official report of the General in command to the Minister of War, respect ing the splendid victory of the Danes, has been rem. ceived here to-day. "North Jutland, Corps d'Arule, July 6, 8 P.M. "According to preconcerted arrangements, the avant guard under M.ijor• General Da IVAEZ t, and the sth brigade under Major-General VON RYE, cleared the fortress on the night of Thursday, at one o'clock, and by a vigorous attack suddenly threw back the enemy's outpost. By this movement the cavalry, as well as the 3d and 411 brigades, gained space enough to quit the fortress, which the reserve artillery was likewise able to do aferwards. Our troops passed forward effectually and speedily, in consequence of which one of the enemy's works after the other was destroyed, whereby a great number of prisoners were made, and a vast quantity of booty taken in ar tillery, ammunition, and other military stores. In artillery 7 field pieces, about 40, 24, and 80 pounders for balls, besides several mortars, were taken. After the enemy had been driven from his entrenchments he was closely pursued, having chiefly retreated by way of the Pass of Havrebale to the other side of Nebelare, the other passes of which were also occu pied by our troops at Gudsoe, Breelstrup, and Rams& jord Many of the enemy's troops were drowned in the Fjord, having been forced by the rapid advance of our troops to fall back that way. After an engagement of ten hours we were masters of the ground, and took up a temporary posi tion. The enemy's outposts are standing in a line from Ettung, by way of Stendrup, to Nebbegatted and Holsuiinde. " Simultaneously with the sortie from the fortress, demonstrations to effect a landing were made north and south of Fredericia, at 'frolie and Snoghai, in which the marines rendered great assistance, and thereby contributed to tee happy issue of the combat. The demonstration in the south terminated in an actual landing at Snoghai, which was occupied by us." "(rite army has again on this day achieved one of those victories for its KING and country which will stand out in history as the monument of the spirit of the north, which has sub si,ted for centuries, and, by the help of Gon, will continue to subsist for hundreds of years among the men of Denmark ; but it is to Providence that we desire to return our thanks, which has this time per thicted truth and loyalty to triumph victoriously in the sfrile with falsehood and perjury. Unhappily, this fierce and violent engagement has demanded great sacrifiews on our part. Foremost in the ranks of the fallen heroes it is our painful duty to place the valiant General Von Rye The state and the army will suffer an equal loss in the death of this brave and highly gilled son of our country. Lieut.-Colonel Von liasetnidel also, who lately re tun- ed from anottier quarter of the glibe, found an I onourahle death in this combat. Iu conclusion, I may be permitted to add, that there was found to exist agood understandingaineng all, hoth men and officers. The generals in command and the commanders of the brigade ex.cuted their commissions with pecu liar s.kili and bravery. (S;gned) "BuLow." AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.

On the other side were 100 killed and wounded; Col. Kiss and 150 taken pristine, e. Besides which, four guns, one standard, arid a quantity of stoles were captured. At one o'clock the chief column was before Cronstadt, and there pitched their tents • the small garri s on on th e hill over-hanging th e t own having refused to surrender. The castle was bombarded on the list with great eftct, from an eminence lying westward. In the t veiling a flag of truce was sent to claim a reprieve of forty-eight hours. The demand was not ooiuplied with by General Liylers, who intimated that the lives of the garrison would be spared it they capitulated the following morn ing; otherwise he should storm the place, in which case the consequences would rest with them.

Witness felt in his pocket and missed his handkerchief, which made him certain that the pri soner was the thief. Pr:secutor went forward to seize hold of him when he ran a way, f o ll owed by witness, calling ou t, " Stop thief !" A person in attempting to stop the prisoner was kno c ked down, and had it not been for another person catching hold of the prisoner, he would have etcaped. The prisoner was detained till witness came up, when, after a desperate resistance, he (the prisoner) was secured and conveyed to the station. On going al-ng, the prisoner put the handkerchief into his (witness's) hand, and beggk'd him not to press the charge. '1 he handkerchief produced is the same that was stolen from his pocket.

The accounts received this merniug from the Con tinental markets are of a good tone. At Odessa not mu. h influence had been exercised upon the pace of corn by the accounts from England, owing to the vvin. of shipping to bring away the produce. Wool was in r. quest for Erigleed. At Breslau on the s;h inst. there wits a good business doing in wool. The Government spinning wills were being worked success fully by a Dutch firm.

In the term of a letter to Mr. Henry Lebouchere, as President of the Board of Trade, Mr. C. Locock Webb furnishes some useful and interesting remarks and sug gestions. He says truly that—" Shareholders look with dread to new calls, for they find that, unlike almost every other source of investment, the more the efficiency arid magnitude of railways are advanced, the more rapid is the decline in the marketable value of the shares; unlike money invested in the improvement of land, which, even in spite of late Parliamentary measures (causing much uneasiness with landowners, and a dread of impending ruin on tenant farmers), increa(e in value, in equal ratio to ,the remount expended in adding to its fertility ; unlike capital embarked in trade or com merce, which well directed and prudently managed, inert ases in value with the progress thereof, unlike tal invested in manufactures, which is regulated in its value by the extent to which improvements are intro duced in the machinery employed in its production, or to the degree of perfection to which the goods them selves can be brought; railways, with all their manifold improvements, their increasing safety, and their appa rent rapid approach to perfection, with their great mag nificent tr iumeh over the obstacles of nature, at once spanning the broad river, and utilising the herd rock to their operai ns, and with their acknowledged benefit to every cIiSN and every industrial breech in the country, sePill to sink ii value, and theirdepression becomesgreater us they increase in usefulness in the application of discoveries in science, in importance, and, in reality, in intrinsic werth. Indeed, to such an extent is rail. way property depreciated, that if no impending liabi lities exist , cl, their position calls loudly to Parlia ment to adept some measure tending to re store confidence in -them. I am quite aware that one great cause of 'this want of con fidence is, that the true position and value ,of rail ways are neither understomi nor appreciated, and the public is too readily led away by interested alarmists; but, without discussing the cause, it is enough that we have an effect which is most deplorable, spreading ruin abroad, and unless stayed, no one can foretell its com pass. 1 would ails pat, sir, to weigh the loss which the want of confidence has created in the value of rail way property. wi ich may be calculated at no less a sum than 100,000,0001, as compered with the present prices of Railway Stock and those of 1845. I contend, there fore, that it is not enough that a full inquiry should be instituted into the bona fide nature or the accounts of the companies; for although, placing the amounts of din deeds out of the qusstion, the actual traffic returns snow that the sum total would give a dividend not interior to Government Securities—although it is well known that the nature of the one is to improve whilst the other is to re main stationary until a downward step is taken, we find that the market value of Railway Shares does not permanently improve, neither is railway property re gal d.z.d as possessing stability and security. The Money Market is remarkably easy, and people are more than ever inquiring what is to be done with the surplus that still accumulates. As a necessary con sequence, Pubic Securities must be first influenced, arid political affairs continuing quiet, we shall next have s. me siens of speculation in the mercantile markets. This wilt be a gradual process, but it is as certain as that one wave follows another. The English Stuck Market has been very buoyant this morning, arid prices are* per Cent. higher.

On the motion for going into a Ci.ternittee of Supply, Mr. ANSI EY moved fer an address to her M.ejest), on the subject of certain illegal ordinances or aces ot Council for the taxation of the people of Van Diemen'. Laud, the attempts of Lieutenant -Governer Sir W. De n i s o n to intimidate the Judges of the Supreme Court of that Island into declaring such ordansatces or acts to be L-gal. and the grievances complained of by the eclonists of that island in their p t ea- Lion present( d last year to her Majesty, and printed by order of this House; and that her Majesty may b, pleased to direct the local authorities in future to re-p- C' the independence of the judaial tuections of that t'our'. and also to signify her disallowance of any ordinaa,ce or act subsequently passed by the said Li utenant. Go vernor in Ceutictl, fer giving to such illegal ordinances or acts the force of law. This motion, he said, involved as much the conduct of Earl Grey as it did that of Sir William Denison, because he had neglected ti advise her Majesty wiih respect to the memorial wt ich had been transmitted by the inhabitants of the colon ) to the Government of this country. One of the eh- roes in the memorial was, that the Governor, Sir W. Denison, had interfered, by pri.ate solicitation, with the Judges of the Supra me Court, in inducing One of them to absent himself ter eighteen mouths on full salary, in order to enable the Gevelionent to appoint a successor who would give a decision in favour of the Crown in re. feretice to certain actions which were thin pending be tween her Majesty and same of her subjects in thee colony. He would conclude simply by moving the resolution by way of amendment of which he had given notice. Mr. it A WES was untlarstool to say—but was very indistinctly heard amid the buzz of conversaien in the House—that Sir William Detaison, the Governor of Van Dietnen'e Land, in what hy had done in the met tars referred to by the Hon. Member (Mr, Ansley ) had acted entirely in conformity with the opinion of the law officers of the Crown. Sir William Denison then :passed an Act through the House, which was the 11th Victoria, which had come home; and there was a peculiarity about it, namely, that though it had come home, and had not yet received the sanction of her Majesty's Government, all proceedings under it were valid. He was unwilling to do anything which should reflect on Sir William De nison, as with one e - xception, and that would be better da scribed as an error of judgment, there was no fault to be found with him. On what ground was it then that the Hon. anal Learned Gentleman made this motion? There was no other point in this case to which he wished to call the attenti , n of the House. Mr. HUME wished to know whether her Ma jesty's Government refused to lay upon the table the letter conveying the disapprobetion of the Colonial Secretary to the Govern, r. It was fortunate that in such distant colonies there were independ ant men, and he believed that judges had always maintained a character for indepandence. It the Governor had dime wrong in Li tertering with Judge Balder, he thought that all the circumstances of the case ougle, to be laid before the House. He could not think that the House would be satisfied with less than a disavowal of such conduct, couplet with an introduction of all the documents rela.ing to this point. Mr. GLADS CONE said he thought the Government, in di-sueding the House from calling for these papers, was right, as he co ild not see any advantage to arise from their production. He wished to observe that all co lonial judges had not that entire independence of the executive which they had in this country. He defended the conduct of Sir William Denison in his government of the colony, which entitled ham to the gratitude of the House, which ought not to do more in this caae than the Secretary ter the Colonies thought requisite, particu larly as ample justice had been done to the Chief Justice. Orr these grounds he was prepured to tupport the reso luti,n if the Governmant. Mr. P. WOOD said if the case of Mr. Justice Pedder was to pass unnoticed, the po.-idon of a judge in a colony was not en enviable one for an honourable man to occupy The misfortune in this case was that the Governor was a military man, and it seldom happened, in that case, that such a Governor and the judges went on amicably fur three years together. The military t Meer considered any di so b e d ience on t h e part of the judge es an act of mutiny.—(Hear, hear.) When the judges in this case pronounced these ordinances illegal, the Go- Governor declared there was only one emote,. open to him, and that was to suspend the judges. Judge Mon fugue was removed fur being in debt, and yet t h e getale man who succeeded him had 25 judgments roc rded against him, and so great a hardship had the colomst. felt that removal to be, that they sent home a remon strance against it. He (Mr. Wood) had nu feeling per sonally towards the Governor, but for the adreintetra don of justice and as owing to the character of the Judges, there ought to be a public reparation made tor the ii,jury the Governor committed un the judges of Van Diemen's Land. Captain HARRIS charged the Hon. and Learned Member, who spoke last with attributing personal mo tives to Sir %V. Denison, but he entreated the House not to form an opinion of that earnest and distinguished officer from what they had heard from the Hun. Member who received his statements iu his brief. Mr. ROEBUCK cared not where his Honourable and Learned Friend round the facts he stated, for the ques tion was, were they true? He granted that the jtoges at first certified the ordinance laid before them for th.dr opinion to be legal, but when the question was raised, and the matter discussed before the legal tribunals, of which they were judges, they decided according to their oaths, and against the opinion they had previous!) giv. n. The Governor then interfered and removed them, which he denounced as most arbitrary and unconstitutional. The Governor was a military officer, and he agreed with his Honouruble and Learntd Frie , ll, when he said that the frame of mind of such men, accustomed, as they were at all times tocommand, rendered them ux ! trumely unfit to be constitutional governors of any. colony. On the present discussion the Governor wrote a lever to Mr. Justice l'erfler, telling him it would be extremely convenient fur him if he absented himself for 18 months. the lion. and Gallant Oilier stood up to defend his profession, but was. the character of the judges of no importance.? SI, hat would have been said of the Government at home', if, when the Lard Chief Justice of England differed from that House some years ago. they wrote him a letter. telling him it wouiai be expedient for him to go to Italy fur a year and a half?—(Hear, hear.) But Shen, said the Right Hoe. Gebtleinait the Member ter Cambriage, the judges in the colonies were , not like the judges at home. But why should they not he so, seeing that the lives and peeper, tie s of th e colonists were at their disposal?—(liar, hear.) And, if they were not what they ought to be, shame ou those who were the cause of it. He asked the. Noble Lord at the head of the Colonies, was that the way to treat new colonies, and if it be not the lir,t of their dmties to watch over and guaid the administration of justice? It was not on the former conduct of the Governor they were to decide, but on that one act, and in his opinion he had interfered with the pure atiminis tration of justice in one of the most important calonies. Mr. E. VENISON should not enter into the merits ce the question at either side, for it did not become him to do so, but this he might be allowed to nbierve, that he deeply regretted what had taken place. The question, however, before the House was, whether a certain dis patch should be produced, a , 41 he, for has own part, was most anxious that it should be done, for he had no doubt that the Gallant Officer referred to would be found to have discharged his duty on this, as on former occasions, with integrity and honour. The House then divided, when the numbers were— For the motion Against it ... ... ... ... 72 Majority •• • ••• . —4B Mr. HUME wished to a s k w h et h er the— Government had any objection to produce the .!i:paieh sent out b y Earl Grey, disapproving of the Governor's conduct? Under any circumstances he should move tor its pro , Auction. Lard J. RUSSELL observed that his Noble Friend at the head of the Coloniel-office communicated to Sir W. Denison the disapprobation of the Government, but considering the difficulties under which the colony was placed, he did not think there was any use in giving more publicity to that disapprobation ; he thought the better course would be not to produce the dispatch, and should, therefore, resist the motion. Mr. ANSTEY asked how it was the Government could refuse the production of the dispatch tor which the Hon. Member for Montrose moved, when, on the 25th of April last, they consented to the production of the correspondence between Governor Grey and Sir W. Denison, on the taxation of the colony, and the removal of Judge Montague. Mr. HAWES said that had nothing to du with Earl Grey's dispatch expressing disapprobation at the removal of Judge Pedder. Mr. ROEBUCK said that in a population so dan gerous and disorganised as that in this colony, the Go vernor should be above all suspicion; and he thought it the dispatch was not produced, he could not safely, under the hidden censure of the Government, efficiently dis charge his duties. SUPPLY—ORDNANCE ESTIMATES. The order of the day was then moved for the House to resolve itself into Comtnitteu of Supply, and the Speaker lift the chair. Mr. HUME hoped that the Ordnance Estimates might stand over till Monday, till it could be ascertained whether the report of the Committee now sitting would be ready this session, which would enable him to speak from facts arid figures. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said, that it would be only fair to give the Government time to consider the evi dence taken before the Committee, when it was com plete, which they would net have an opportuiiity of doing, if the subject was to be brought before the House immediately upon the presentation of the report.

Why they did not votei:t estimates at the com mencement , i e - tea d of postpow'' theta to the. end of the st.ssion?—(Hear.) Lord J. RUSSELL replied to the question, w-etb et no hope o. reductions could he held out during the td sent year? Certainly not. When the Government 0 seen and considered this report they might be ab l f- d e propose some immediate reductions. But he was prised that the Right Hon. Gentleman, with his kne of 1. dge of the public business, should suppose that a L e 0 port, which r ecommen d e d the reduction of 1,300"./. the cost of a publi c d epartment, could be adopted or ire, missed by the Government, without the fullest cot; 'i deration arid inquiry.
